Bernie Sanders: The War Against Working Families:
[youtube_sc url=”ZKh1Wy4sOGc”]

From Rep. Sanders’ speech:

From 1980 until 2005, 80 percent of all income went to the top 1 percent. Today, the Wall Street executives–the crooks on Wall Street whose actions resulted in the severe recession we are in right now; the people whose illegal, reckless actions have resulted in millions of Americans losing their jobs, their homes, their savings–guess what? After we bailed them out, those CEOs today are now earning more money than they did before the bailout.

(Full transcript of speech here: http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=c8f26b05-01e7-429f-a5e0-a9a6bd1a0f40)

My Commentary: The following speech was delivered by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), from the floor of the Senate on November 30, 2010. Being one of only two Independents in the whole senate, and not as encumbered by the pitfalls of the false two-political-party paradigm as the majority of his peers, he is able to freely expose the economic terrorism that America’s billionaires are directing against the middle class. He believes these pirates are turning our country into a Banana Republic States of America, with the threat of debt slavery looming over the heads of all future generations of citizens if something drastic is not done soon. Sanders correctly assigns blame where some of the blame is due: the crooks on Wall Street, the CEOs of the Big Business, the Banksters and certain members of Congress!

The following debate took place on the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance…

Chris C.: Amazing short film comparing apartheid in South Africa and Palestine…if you have a problem with RACISM or were concerned about APARTHEID in South Africa – then you should be very concerned about the system of apartheid and racism taking place in the Holy Land due to the terroristic government of Israel…Jews in Israel are now the VICTIMIZERS (and they wonder why the Arabs lash out???)

As America's Economy Collapses by Design, CEOs Rake In Record Profits

As America’s Economy Collapses by Design, CEOs Rake In Record Profits

Corporate America has BEST QUARTER in US History as Real Unemployment Rate Soars:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/corporate-america-quarter-real-unemployment-rate-soars/

(Stephen C. Webster, RawStory.com) Even amid the most turbulent economic conditions since the Great Depression, US corporate profits are at an all time high, according to a Tuesday report [PDF link] by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

At the same time, America’s poor and middle classes are under siege, with a mostly stagnant job market that has shown only marginal signs of improvement.

In spite of meager growth in some sectors, the real unemployment rate remains high, at approximately 1 in 5 Americans.

Yet for seven fiscal quarters running — since President Obama’s election — American corporate profits have shown strong growth.

According to a New York Times analysis, Q3 2010 saw the largest corporate profits in recorded US history, at $1.66 trillion.

My Commentary: Wow! Follow the money trail! Mussolini was correct! Fascism TRULY is “a merger between State and Corporate power.”

Documents Shed Light on C.I.A.’s Use of Ex-Nazis:

(New York Times) The Central Intelligence Agency took no action after learning the pseudonym and whereabouts of the fugitive Holocaust overseer Adolf Eichmann in 1958, according to C.I.A. documents that shed new light on the spy agency’s use of former Nazis as informers after World War II.

The C.I.A. was told by West German intelligence that Eichmann was living in Argentina under the name “Clemens” — a slight variation on his actual alias, Klement — but kept the information from Israel because of German concerns about exposure of former Nazis in the Bonn government, according to Timothy Naftali, a historian who examined the documents. Two years later, Israeli agents abducted Eichmann in Argentina and took him to Israel, where he was tried and executed in 1962.

The Eichmann papers are among 27,000 newly declassified pages released by the C.I.A. to the National Archives under Congressional pressure to make public files about former officials of Hitler’s regime later used as American agents. The material reinforces the view that most former Nazis gave American intelligence little of value and in some cases proved to be damaging double agents for the Soviet K.G.B., according to historians and members of the government panel that has worked to open the long-secret files.

My Commentary: Be sure to fully research “OPERATION PAPERCLIP” in order to understand the complex and cozy relationship between our government and certain outlaws within the Nazi party after World War II. Learn how the CIA used American tax dollars to hire full-blown Nazi war criminals to positions of power, placing them on the government payrolls under assumed identities. And, our government not only helped certain Nazis escape prosecution, they also falsified immigration documents for them, and even whisked some them to safehaven within the United States and South America!

City Officials: Tap Water Shows Elevated Lead Levels:

My Commentary: ALERT: The Department of Environmental Protection tells residents of New York City to run their cold water faucet for 30 seconds before cooking with it or drinking from it!

As  Dr. Rosen states in the above article:

“When it comes to lead, it’s always better to be safe than sorry because according to the U.S. CDC, according to the U.S. EPA, there really is no level of lead that’s safe in children.”

Also, take special note of the last paragraph of the article, which states:

“The potential for lead in the water increases in buildings and homes built before 1987, because lead solder was used to seal pipe joints. And for buildings put up before 1961, there’s an even greater concern — because the pipelines that brought water to those homes were made ENTIRELY OF LEAD.” (emphasis mine)

Interesting, eh? Humanity’s history has an uncanny way of repeating itself – especially when we fail to learn from the poor collective behaviors and habits of past generations:
