UPDATE ! Amazing - MO disciplined by Illinois Supreme Court

UPDATE Had a friend request the website this came from, pulled it up to give to him and GUESS WHAT? This information has been scrubbed! No longer there, well it was when I pulled it it off and copied.

Obviously, there is soooooooo much out there that we don't know. Let us keep digging folks, the more we dig, the more we find out who these crooks are.


Well, wonder what Michelle has been disciplined for by the Illinois Supreme Court and what else don't we know? Amazing, just amazing. Not even Hillary was disciplined in all her years as an attorney.

No wonder Michelle wants to just be a stay at home Mom to the girls.

All those years of study and for what?

What else will come out, what else don't we know?

Mombasa Imam seeking asylum in UK

Gone viral this morning. It was reported last week that an Imam had the records of blessing of Barack Hussein Obama Jr, born in Mombasa, August 4th, 1961.

Reported in the UK today, Man from Kenya seeking help from UK he's got proof of Obama's BC.

Mombasa Imam who confirmed Obama ’s birth place arrives in the UK

The Imam who came forward to assist in the search of Barack Obama’s identity left Kenya secretly last night, and will arrive in the UK this morning. He will meet with a US contact person who will assist him in recording an asylum statement in the UK after handing over the documents that caused the blessing of Obama when he was born and to confirm the origin of the name Hussein.

The man will join relatives in the UK because his life will be in danger if he were to return to Kenya after removing the documents from the Mosque’s archives and taking them out of the country. The man has been informed about the on-going case filed in the US Supreme Court by attorney Philip Berg challenging Barack Obama’s citizenship.

When the man heard that Jerome Corsi was in Kenya a few months ago, he took a decision to try and meet him, but had to travel back to Mombasa from Nairobi on hearing that Corsi had been bundled and taken to the airport on deportation orders.

The Imam is the grandson of the late Imam who blessed Barack Obama when he was born in Mombasa on the 4th of august 1961.

While in the UK, the Imam and the American contact person will visit Amnesty International before handing himself over to the authorities where he will formally deliver his application for asylum. The contact man has arranged so that they get an official from Amnesty international to accompany them to the home office desk where he will inform them on he dangers that will face him if he were to return to Kenya after delivering the documents on Obama.

This may now bring to close the speculations on Obama’s citizenship and the secrecy on where he was born.

API will dispatch a detailed letter in support of the Imam’s - application for asylum and protection - to the UK Home Office Secretary later today. The letter will be made available on the site here, but minus the names of the Imam.

Transparent Government, at last

Yipeeeeeeee!

No more secrets in the White House! Well, its about time! Now we will know everything that goes on behind those massive doors to the oval office. We will know things just as they happen. We will know just what our president thinks when he thinks it. No more hiding behind veils of privacy.

We will be on the leading edge of government decisions and allowed to see, at last, the inner most thoughts of our President...right?

At yesterday's private meeting between Dubbyah and BO, Bo's aides couldn't wait to let the public know what was said. I guess Bo wants to really change how things have been done since our beginning...this is good right?

But something causes me concern. Did any one bother to read the nearly 50 pages of promises to America, posted by the BO campaign? I kinda doubt it, right? Well, noted in a forum yesterday, I found that all those pages were scrubbed off the site November 7th.

Wonder why? Can they not keep the promises or "goals" they listed? No worry, I found a link to the cached pages and downloaded all the goodies, saving them to remind myself and you when one may be altered.

But hey, that's no problem...Bo made his talk known with Dubbyah...so he'll keep all secrets open from now on...right?

$2 Trillion - where did it go?

Ok, top of Drudge this morning, HUGE headlines about the $2 trillion that has been given out by our lovely government. Two trillion?

For what? Bloomberg news has the lowdown. Note those guvment folks behind it...like Barney Frank, who needs to be drawn and quartered as being the head of the House Financial Services Committee Chair...

Fed Defies Transparency Aim in Refusal to Identify Bank Loans

By Mark Pittman, Bob Ivry and Alison Fitzgerald

Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September they would comply with congressional demands for transparency in a $700 billion bailout of the banking system. Two months later, as the Fed lends far more than that in separate rescue programs that didn't require approval by Congress, Americans have no idea where their money is going or what securities the banks are pledging in return.

``The collateral is not being adequately disclosed, and that's a big problem,'' said Dan Fuss, vice chairman of Boston- based Loomis Sayles & Co., where he co-manages $17 billion in bonds. ``In a liquid market, this wouldn't matter, but we're not. The market is very nervous and very thin.''

Bloomberg News has requested details of the Fed lending under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and filed a federal lawsuit Nov. 7 seeking to force disclosure.

The Fed made the loans under terms of 11 programs, eight of them created in the past 15 months, in the midst of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

``It's your money; it's not the Fed's money,'' said billionaire Ted Forstmann, senior partner of Forstmann Little & Co. in New York. ``Of course there should be transparency.''

Federal Reserve spokeswoman Michelle Smith declined to comment on the loans or the Bloomberg lawsuit. Treasury spokeswoman Michele Davis didn't respond to a phone call and an e-mail seeking comment.

The Fed's lending is significant because the central bank has stepped into a rescue role that was also the purpose of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, bailout plan -- without safeguards put into the TARP legislation by Congress.

$2 Trillion

Total Fed lending topped $2 trillion for the first time last week and has risen by 140 percent, or $1.172 trillion, in the seven weeks since Fed governors relaxed the collateral standards on Sept. 14. The difference includes a $788 billion increase in loans to banks through the Fed and $474 billion in other lending, mostly through the central bank's purchase of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds.

Before Sept. 14, the Fed accepted mostly top-rated government and asset-backed securities as collateral. After that date, the central bank widened standards to accept other kinds of securities, some with lower ratings. The Fed collects interest on all its loans.

The plan to purchase distressed securities through TARP called for buying at the ``lowest price that the secretary (of the Treasury) determines to be consistent with the purposes of this Act,'' according to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the law that covers TARP.

`We Need Transparency'

The legislation didn't require any specific method for the purchases beyond saying mechanisms such as auctions or reverse auctions should be used ``when appropriate.'' In a reverse auction, bidders offer to sell securities at successively lower prices, helping to ensure that the Fed would pay less. The measure also included a five-member oversight board that includes Paulson and Bernanke.

At a Sept. 23 Senate Banking Committee hearing in Washington, Paulson called for transparency in the purchase of distressed assets under the TARP program.

``We need oversight,'' Paulson told lawmakers. ``We need protection. We need transparency. I want it. We all want it.''

At a joint House-Senate hearing the next day, Bernanke also stressed the importance of openness in the program. ``Transparency is a big issue,'' he said.

Banks Resist Disclosure

The Fed lent cash and government bonds to banks, which gave the Fed collateral in the form of equities and debt, including subprime and structured securities such as collateralized debt obligations, according to the Fed web site. The borrowers have included the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Banks oppose any release of information because it might signal weakness and spur short-selling or a run by depositors, said Scott Talbott, senior vice president of government affairs for the Financial Services Roundtable, a Washington trade group.

``You have to balance the need for transparency with protecting the public interest,'' Talbott said. ``Taxpayers have a right to know where their tax dollars are going, but one piece of information standing alone could undermine public confidence in the system.''

Frank Backs Fed

The nation's biggest banks, Citigroup, Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley, declined to comment on whether they have borrowed money from the Fed. They received $120 billion in capital from the TARP, which was signed into law Oct. 3.

In an interview Nov. 6, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank said the Fed's disclosure is sufficient and that the risk the central bank is taking on is appropriate in the current economic climate. Frank said he has discussed the program with Timothy F. Geithner, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a possible candidate to succeed Paulson as Treasury secretary.

``I talk to Geithner and he was pretty sure that they're OK,'' said Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat. ``If the risk is that the Fed takes a little bit of a haircut, well that's regrettable.'' Such losses would be acceptable, he said, if the program helps revive the economy.

Frank said the Fed shouldn't reveal the assets it holds or how it values them because of ``delicacy with respect to pricing.'' He said such disclosure would ``give people clues to what your pricing is and what they might be able to sell us and what your estimates are.'' He wouldn't say why he thought that information would be problematic.

`Unclog the Market'

Revealing how the Fed values collateral could help thaw frozen credit markets, said Ron D'Vari, chief executive officer of NewOak Capital LLC in New York and the former head of structured finance at BlackRock Inc.

``I'd love to hear the methodology, how the Fed priced the assets,'' D'Vari said. ``That would unclog the market very quickly.''

TARP's $700 billion so far is being used to buy preferred shares in banks to shore up their capital. The program was originally intended to hold banks' troubled assets while markets were frozen.

The Bloomberg lawsuit argues that the collateral lists ``are central to understanding and assessing the government's response to the most cataclysmic financial crisis in America since the Great Depression.''

AIG Lending

The Fed has lent at least $81 billion to American International Group Inc., the world's largest insurer, so that it can pay obligations to banks. The central bank is also responsible for losses on a $26.8 billion portfolio guaranteed after Bear Stearns Cos. was bought by JPMorgan.

``As a taxpayer, it is absolutely important that we know how they're lending money and who they're lending it to,'' said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Arlington, Virginia- based Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

Ultimately, the Fed will have to remove some securities held as collateral from some programs because the central bank's rules call for instruments rated below investment grade to be taken back by the borrower and marked down in value. Losses on those assets could then be written off, partly through the capital recently injected into those banks by the Treasury.

Moody's Investors Service alone has cut its ratings on 926 mortgage-backed securities worth $42 billion to junk from investment grade since Sept. 14, making them ineligible for collateral on some Fed loans.

The Fed's collateral ``absolutely should be made public,'' said Mark Cuban, an activist investor, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball team and the creator of the Web site BailoutSleuth.com, which focuses on the secrecy shrouding the Fed's moves.

Suffering from PTSD - UPDATE

UPDATE - 86% of Bailout Money Used for Executive Bonus

Wall Street Fat Cats Are Trying to Pocket Billions in Bailout Cash
By Nomi Prins, AlterNet. Posted November 7, 2008.

The election results pretty much confirmed the extent to which Main Street is rightly livid about the Wall Street mentality that led to our financial crisis. During his historic victory speech, President-elect Barack Obama told supporters, and the rest of the world, “If this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.”

But, it seems that Wall Street didn’t get that memo. It turns out that the nine banks about to be getting a total equity capital injection of $125 billion, courtesy of Phase I of The Bailout Plan, had reserved $108 billion during the first nine months of 2008 in order to pay for compensation and bonuses.

Paying Wall Street bonuses was not supposed to be part of the plan. At least that’s how Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson explained it to Congress and the American people. So, on Oct. 1, when the Senate, including Obama, approved the $700 billion bailout package, the illusion was that this would magically loosen the credit markets, and with taxpayer-funded relief, banks would first start lending to each other again, and then, to citizens and small businesses. And all would be well.

That didn’t happen. Which is why it’s particularly offensive that the no-strings-attached money is going to line the pockets of Wall Street execs. The country’s top investment bank (which since Sept. 21 calls itself a bank holding company), Goldman Sachs, set aside $11.4 billion during the first nine months of this year — slightly more than the firm’s $10 billion U.S. government gift — to cover bonus payments for its 443 senior partners, who are set to make about $5 million each, and other employees.

…

Two of those firms, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, went bankrupt this year. Bank of America is acquiring a third, Merrill Lynch. Shares in the remaining two, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, took a 60 percent nosedive this year.

Yet, that didn’t stop their campaign contribution money from spewing out. Goldman was Obama’s largest corporate campaign contributor, with $874,207. Also in his top 20 were three other recipients of bailout capital: JP Morgan/Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.

I’m ready for some “Change we can believe in”, but I doubt it will come from those in Washington who are bought and paid for.



PTSD

Yes, although we've been inundated with the "obamative" aftergrowth of unity, I still have not recovered from understanding just where we are headed. Of course this morning's interview of the new chief of the white house staff (wonder if that is politically correct as I've heard it called the black house now), Emmanuel, we still don't know ... I sure did feel Bob Scheiffer's pain as he questioned, without answers. Sounded like more of the same. I suppose Rahm didn't want to steal any of bo's glory.

Had there been a fair and honest election, I would not have minded an African American elected to office...say someone of Alan Keys stature. But that did not happen did it.

Instead we elected a man, who at his first press conference, made references to Nancy Reagon's seances in the White House, which she did not. She did consult an astrologer, but it was Hillary who had the seances to invoke the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt. He then had to call Nancy to apologize. I fear that's just the first of many gaffes...he'll definitely need a teleprompter while in office. Stick to the script mutt, I mean BO.

But back to bo's first appointment, who speaketh out of both sides of his mouth....who, in fact, sat on the board of Freddie Mac, when the sh-t first began happening with this austere organization. Rahm also benefited from some hedge funds...I say this lightly, as benefited, meaning he made a sh-tload of money prior to the crash we are seeing today...as in the Clinton administration. Remember, Hillary made some REAL GOOD investments back then too...turning $1,000 into $100,000 overnight. Must be nice to be near the kind of power that can "hundred-duple" your investments....can you say 10,000 % profit? That was then, I don't think you can do that now, or can you? Yeah, take the markets down far enough, and they will rebound, if not the next day, one day, when we crawl out of this mess.

As I heard the pundits speak on George Stephanobaminus show this morning, I could hear all them answering with a cha-ching in their voice and the behemoth in the background running the paper machine grinding out more dollars...giving the federal reserve ample time to "dry" those $1 (promissory) bills before January 21, 2009.

I truly believe, as I did before the election, that we are not going to come out of this lightly and what is coming is an undesired blovation of empty promises...thus my cause for PTSD.

Its been quite hard for my little brain to wrap itself around what has happened. As I watched the after (math) party, Oprah crying, Jesse "someone needs to castrate him (BO) in an open mike" Jackson crying, the multitudes crying, "Yes we can", I had to wonder WTF?

He's no Moses, as a Bishop crowned him last week. I can't see him leading us out of the wilderness of financial collapse.

However, I can see him declaring Martial Law and bringing about a chaos that will allow him to become el presidente for life. Unfortunately, I see too much viral activity on the web to know there are folks that are getting prepared for such an event.

You, readers, need to be LISTENING for what "may" (and I do hope its not true), be coming. Don't think YOUR (Mommy and Daddy, who takes care of you) government will do just that...its not set up that way, never has been, never will take care of you. However, on the other hand, it (the M&D state) will take you. It already has...Just look around, first the housing regulators under Fannie and Freddie, then the banking system (two more banks fell this weekend and more to come), and now the auto industry is in a state of collapse. What is next?

The deck of cards were stacked long ago, we were too selfish to believe it could happen. Now we have a smooth talker saying it won't happen in the first 100 days...maybe not in his first term, but in his second. Uhhhhh? Second? Wait, wasn't it going to be ok, when he took office the first time?

Then "W" comes out to greet the Press the day after the election asking if it was ok if he quit the office now? Personally, after all the beating he's taken over policies developed by and kept in check by the former administration, through their agents in Congress, I'd want to leave too.

The 700 billion dollar BAILOUT, RESCUE wasn't needed. Talking with an old economist, who knows his sh-t, said the actual bailout of the housing crisis was a mere $85 billion. Yep, that's right, eighty-five billion. So where did the other $625 billion go?

As I recall, and you should too, the plan started out with a mere 3, THREE pages which by weeks end, it wound up over 480 pages of grift, greed and graft...just what McCain was talking about.

Puleez, whatever you do, dig for information...its out there, you just need to look at it. Plain as day.

It wasn't the fact that BO is black...I could care less about that. I just don't like the company he's kept all these years and he's kept company. That too, will come out in the wash.

What you don't know is that although the Supreme Court did not stop the election on the 4th, they have asked Obama to produce a vault copy of his birth certificate by December 1. And you think he suspended his campaign, to visit his ailing grandmother in Hawaii? Not that I am a conspiracy theorist, but one has to wonder........especially since we didn't know she suffered from anything other than osteoporosis and more recently, a broken hip, when the day before elections, she dies. Bet he does come up with a "vault" certificate now, no one alive to dispute it. And the statement issued by the campaign that they would have a private service later? Duh, was she cremated? They holding her in cold storage? Wow, Granny, what a way to go! Oh, and lest I forget, Granny Toots had voted by absentee ballot before she died. Did she actually vote, or someone "help" her vote?

See why I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder?

bo's finger salute to McCain

Well, first bo salutes Hillary during the primaries, and now he salutes McCain.

I do believe he has the same feeling toward all WE AMERICANS and all that WE stand for.

What a filthy, ugly creature. I don't see him as human, much less a man who will steal our office of President with all the hooks, crooks, terrorists, and sheeple.

Surely he can do it...look at all the information out there on his financial backers...oh, yes, all those folks, those poor folks who sent in $10 - $200 contributions using GIFT CARDS? Duh?
Riiiight!!!

We have a bad, bad, bad problem here...get everyone you know that has any doubt to stop this creature from violating our sacred trust!

What the F??? Fox?

I've been following this campaign far, far to long. I can't get FOX, but I can follow through the blogosphere out there that FOX (F) is now changing tunes. Apparently, the once fair and balanced news organization is now conceding an bo win.

WTF?

It's never over till the fat lady sings...and there are those out there that are singing, including me. I cannot imagine why the swing to bo...since he booted 3 reporters from his plane this week, one of which was a F reporter.

Even ole Rupert, the owner of F, is saying bo must not win.

There are clearly problems with bo. It is all over the net...even folks saying that the net may be restricted once he gains office...suppression of free speech...especially when it is not in his favor. The truth is out there.

API, African Press International, has been promoting a tape of bo's wife, stating all manner of stuff, but nothing has been produced.

However, at America's Right, a tape has surfaced and is posted there with an interview with bo's step-grandmother stating she was at the hospital in Mombasa, Kenya at bo's birth.

Don't know if it is credible, but something is wrong when we look to the media for information, and they skew it to fit the moment.

I am amazed at our society has raised a bunch of sheeple who want the government to be their mommy and daddy, curing all their ills.

What has happened to "being all you can be"? Where are the balls that our forefather's had to separate themselves from an suppressive form of monarchy?

Mark my words, if and I surely hope if, bo is elected to office, he will not "change the world" to fit his socialist beliefs. The future generations will pay dearly for the mistakes made on November 4, 2008.

Before they disappear from the shelves, find the books that define what patriotism, loyalty and honor. Give them to the young, because they are our only hope, their only hope for a future redeemed from the New World Order.

Then again, maybe this is beginning of the end and it is something that HAS to be, in order for separate the wheat from the chaff. Time will only tell, and to deny our ally, Israel, will certainly be our downfall.

bo wants to sit down with the PLO, Hamas, and other communist heads of state to "talk" things out...a tactic that won't work.

Tell everyone you know, just as bo has advised his "folk" to do to us (get in their faces) and tell them what is at stake!

GO VOTE! Your grandchildren are depending on it!
