Update on the Alabama Body Count and FTR #742

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT: The coura­geous and inci­sive legal/political blog Legal Schnau­zer con­tin­ues its ground­break­ing cov­er­age of  an epi­demic of lethal polit­i­cal skull­dug­gery in Alabama, all of it appar­ently linked to the Karl Rove/GOP con­spir­acy against for­mer gov­er­nor Don Siegel­man. The key to Rove’s destruc­tion of Siegel­man was the manip­u­la­tion and politi­ciza­tion of U.S. attorneys–Rove was [...]

Echoes of 11/22/63; 9/11/2001

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 30, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: A mys­tery bil­lion­aire (indi­vid­ual or insti­tu­tion) appears to have placed a $1 Bil­lion bet that the U.S. will lose its AAA rat­ing.
Note that, among the pos­si­ble exe­cu­tion­ers of this deal is PIMCO, the bond-trading sub­sidiary of Allianz, the giant Ger­man insurer which, like all Ger­man core cor­po­ra­tions, is part of the con­sum­mately pow­er­ful, deadly [...]

Nobody Here But Us Chickens: Murdoch Whistle Blower Found Dead

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 21, 2011 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: A Mur­doch whis­tle blower, cen­tral to help­ing to expose the phone hack­ing scan­dal, has been found dead in his apart­ment.
In what seems to be almost oblig­a­tory down­play­ing of the sig­nif­i­cance of this event, the author­i­ties are already spin­ning this death as “not sus­pi­cious.”
Remem­ber that this case goes to the high­est lev­els of the British [...]

Plane Speaking in D.C.

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 17, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: With the bud­get talks com­ing down to the wire and grow­ing [pre­dictably] more acri­mo­nious, it is worth not­ing the num­ber of small planes that have intruded into Camp David air space–5 in one month. All appar­ently did so while Obama was at the retreat.
This is rem­i­nis­cent of a num­ber of “high, hard ones”–a [...]

Senate, Obama Administration Join Deadly Alabama Political Farce Surrounding Don Siegelman

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

 
COMMENT: Appoint­ing a quin­tes­sen­tial fox to guard the Alabama polit­i­cal chicken house, the U.S. Sen­ate, fol­low­ing Obama’s shame­ful lead, sees fit to ignore the “body count” dis­cussed in FTR #742.
Worth remem­ber­ing in the con­text of Alabama polit­i­cal mis­chief is the fact that the the state’s Air National Guard was under the super­vi­sion of the governor [...]

FTR #747 Bringin’ It All Back Home

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 4, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

GOP doing to Obama what CIA did to Allende in Chile; Repub­li­cans appear ready to destroy U.S., global economies to gain power; Bush admin­is­tra­tion deficits delib­er­ately struc­tured to force end of New Deal social pro­grams; Tea Party fas­cists pro­vid­ing “boots on the ground” for this effort.

Update on the Piggy-Back Coups and the Muslim Brotherhood

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 3, 2011 ⋅ 5 comments

COMMENT: Con­ser­v­a­tive Frank Gaffney–among the VERY few in this coun­try will­ing to attack Grover Norquist and Karl Rove for their sup­port for the Mus­lim Brotherhood–has  prop­erly exco­ri­ated the Obama admin­is­tra­tion and Hillary Clin­ton for their diplo­matic rap­proche­ment with that Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion.
(I note that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is sim­ply extend­ing an ini­tia­tive that was [...]

FTR #746 Greek Tragedy

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 27, 2011 ⋅ 8 comments

Urged to “aus­ter­ity,” Greece’s adop­tion of Ger­man pre­scrip­tions made its sit­u­a­tion worse; trapped by the Euro, Greece can nei­ther revalue its cur­rency nor impose tar­iffs to pro­tect domes­tic indus­try; GOP pro­poses the same medecine for the U.S. that Ger­many pre­scribed for Greece.

FTR #744 The Shape of Things to Come

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 13, 2011 ⋅ 19 comments

Pan­ul­ti­mate exam­ple of “off­shore,” the seasted­ding move­ment sees “free­dom and democ­racy” as incom­pat­i­ble. Those left on shore must accept dis­so­lu­tion of pri­vacy, free­dom and, yes, democ­racy. Hedge fund man­agers buy­ing up all arable land in antic­i­pa­tion of eco­nomic and social armageddon.

A Canary in the Mineshaft? (Or the “Gemeinschaft?”)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 8, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: In FTR #742, we exam­ined (among other things) a series of highly sus­pi­cious deaths of peo­ple con­nected to the milieu of for­mer Alabama gov­er­nor Bob Riley, Karl Rove and Jack Abramoff. These deaths, in turn, loom large in the machi­na­tions that led to the down­fall of for­mer Alabama Gov­er­nor Don Siegel­man.
The inci­sive blog [...]
