ECONOMY:

Whenever Anne Hathaway is in the news, automatic trading programs bump up the price of Berkshire-Hathaway. I hope Warren Buffet pays her a lot. You'd think the programs would include Berkshire or at least exclude Anne.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

It looks like the new BEST temperature record will also be run by self-promoting frauds. There's a lot of money to be made by promoting this fraud. I expected this from the start because it's being developed out of Berkeley.

POLICE STATE:

Story of  an FBI agent provacateur corrupted a Muslim man over months then finally promised him $250,000 to commit a phony terrorist attack, entrapping him.

"The problem here was that neither Cromitie nor any of his friends had any useful skills in carrying out a terrorist plot – no training, no weapons, not even a driver's license. But they were four living, breathing, black American Muslims; all they had to do was show up at the right time and place to be arrested and photographed as living trophies symbolizing another triumph of the Homeland Security State.In its reply to Cromitie's brief, the Regime stipulates to all of the facts while saying – almost in so many words – that it's perfectly acceptable to manufacture a crime in order to justify prosecuting someone who harbors unacceptable attitudes toward the State.Hussain insists that prior to his recorded conversations with Cromitie, the target had expressed a desire to travel to Afghanistan to fight against U.S. personnel occupying that country. Those comments were never recorded; in fact, Cromitie was captured on tape saying exactly the opposite."

Once again it looks like the US government is the most effective force at radicalizing Muslims.

"In signaling her willingness to hear the Newburgh 4's appeal, Federal District Judge McMahon candidly described the supposed terrorist conspiracy as a pure Federal fabrication: "The plot was created before our very eyes in this courtroom," she stated."The law allows that to happen," lied Assistant U.S. Attorney David Raskin in reply.This is actually quite a stunning admission, coming as it does from someone of exalted rank within the "Justice" Department: He acknowledged that the Feds consider it to be legal and proper to manufacture terrorist plots in order to justify what can only be described as show trials."

Our government has turned our world upside-down.

WAR:

Obama raises hypocrisy to new level.

"Gadhafi has been a black hat for as long as I can remember. If we believe the adage that "where there is smoke there is fire," Gadhafi is probably not a nice fellow. However, there is no doubt whatsoever that the current US president and the predecessor Bush/Cheney regime have murdered many times more people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia than Gadhafi has murdered in Libya.Moreover, Gadhafi is putting down a rebellion against state authority as presently constituted, but Obama and Bush/Cheney initiated wars of aggression based entirely on lies and deception.
Yet

Gadhafi is being demonized, and Bush/Cheney/Obama are sitting on their high horse draped in cloaks of morality. Obama described himself as saving Libyans from violence while Obama himself murders Afghans, Pakistanis, and whomever else.Indeed, the Obama regime has been torturing a US soldier, Bradley Manning, for having a moral conscience. America has degenerated to the point where having a moral conscience is evidence of anti-Americanism and "terrorist activity.""

Government has turned the world upside-down.

"In his war against Libya, Obama has taken America one step further into Caesarism. Obama did Bush one step better and did not even bother to get congressional authorization for his attack on Libya. Obama claimed that his moral authority trumped the US Constitution. The hypocrisy reeks."

Yes it does. He's earned the nickname Pharaoh Obama. CIA operatives in Libya. On the president's private military. This Libyan war just keeps getting more bizarre as NATO now warns rebels not to kill civilians. It's like the west has no dog in this fight despite constantly saying Qaddafi must go. Again rhetoric is masking reality. They're just killing to make sure this war continues and kills people as long as possible. This is a distraction to keep people from noticing what they're doing to our country. It's probably designed to gin up patriotic support to keep bond rates low.

POLITICS:

Ron Paul has a lot of money for a campaign.

LOCAL:

Local sheriff fires deputy for sexting a picture of his genitals. Good for him for not ignoring this. Why am I not surprised this same officer had shot and killed a man previously.

MISC:

Miscrosoft's legal onslaught against Google continues. Poor little Microsoft can't compete, so it's trying to use the government's gun to cripple a far more productive company.

Walter Williams highlights the injustice of the DOJ ordering the Dayton Police Department to lower test scores to more blacks could pass. Even the NAACP condemned the action. Where does the DOJ get this power anyway? It must have threatened to withhold money.

The Japanese consider entombing Fukushima reactors. Workers expect to die from radiation exposure. These workers are true heroes.

Economic fallacies of the women's class action suit against Walmart. If women have no other job opportunities, Walmart could pay them less. Walmart is being very generous by paying them more than they could earn elsewhere.
