Nobody Reviews: Jack Abramoff
Nobody’s Opinion
Jack Abramoff…not exactly a household name. I heard Jack on Michael Savage not too long ago. If you watch Jay Leno, you know that not many people even know who our Vice President is, let alone who Jack Abramoff was.
Jack Abramoff…was one of the best lobbyist in history…and he hasn’t been out of jail for long. (2010)
Jack told Michael that the time he spent in jail made him realize, that even though in his job as a high paid lobbyist, he committed “crimes,” he never saw it that way at the time. Giving Congressmen money and gifts was just part of every good lobbyist’s job.
“What I did not consider then, and never considered until I was sitting in prison, was tha contributions from parties with an interest in legislation are really nothing but bribes. Sure, it’s legal for the most part. Sure, everyone in Washington does it. Sure, it’s the way the system works. It’s one of Washington’s dirty little secrets but it’s bribery just the same. “
After reading Jacks’ new book, Capitol Punishment, you realize that our whole political system is run on corruption and bribes, and you start wondering how much money is being given to Presidential candidates for their campaigns, not only from US companies, but from foreign countries? 
And what do those foreign countries expect in return? Bill Clinton’s Presidential Library was practically built by donations from the Saudi Kings. What did he do for them? The same Saudi donations went to George W. Bush ‘s Presidential Library…what? Are we not drilling for oil so that President’s can have billons dollar monuments— so that they can be immortalized forever… by Saudi Kings?
Nobody Wonders about that…a lot.
Jack tells you in the book just how easy it was for a Russian leader to give a million dollars to Tom Delay by losing in a round of golf.
For those of you, who like me, had no clue what Jack Abramoff did to go to jail: He was accused of stealing money from the various Indian Casinos. Jack was hired by many of them to lobby Congress on their behalf –to help them… 1. KEEP the profits they made…and 2. make more.
For his hard work, Jack got paid around $300,000 a year….(the average for lobbyists) but in his estimation, he saved them billions.
Jack was a superman when it came to getting things done: to bribe Congressmen, he would get them the best tickets in town to any sports game going on: take them on trips around the world to play golf, and then make all his contacts (which were in the thousands) give Congressmen big fat checks..in other words…the whole culture of Washington is set up in bribes. Big businesses pay big bribes to big Congressmen, who vote this way or that on some big project. 
It also runs major league sports teams too it seems, but that’s another blog.
That’s how Washington is run: You give to me, I’ll see that the government stays off your back, or as in GE’s case…you don’t have to pay any taxes. Or you can get out of Obamacare… Or in the case of Solyndra…you give Obama campaign money, and Obama will give you billions of taxpayer dollars.
So,…the very men that Jack gave big money to put in their campaign coffers, turned around and helped put him in jail. The question is why?
In an honest world, he should have gone to jail..but then, so should every lobbyist and every Congressmen in Congress. No matter what you think of Blogo’s hair, he is telling the truth.
When it comes to selling Obama’s senate seat. They ALL do it. Just about everything in Washington has a price, and the Congressmen do not think taking money for their vote is illegal. For instance, Jack gives an example:
Congressman Bustamante once said to Jack:
“The Defense Department is planning to place a new naval base in the Gulf of Mexico, and I want it for my district. I hear they are looking at Florida instead. If I get that base, you get the votes. (for his casino) If I don’t, you don’t. The votes are from the Hispanic Caucus and they are solidly in my control. What do you say?”
I must admit: the book is not what I expected. It’s mostly a testimony for a life that wasn’t all that bad, a man justifying to the world that what he did, was mostly good stuff. He built Jewish schools. He helped organized the Republican Party in all states of the nation. He helped Ronald Reagan get in the White House. He was great friends with Grover Rehnquist, Mark Levin, and Tom Delay.
He’s not so enamored of Newt Gingrich, John McCain, or George Clooney, who once said on the Golden Globes awards, “What kind of parents would name their kid “Jack” when his name ends in ‘off?’ No wonder that guy is screwed up!”
It drove his daughter to tears.
Yes, Jack lets you know all that goes into being a lobbyist, and what the book does do, is make you think about the whole concept of “lobbying.” You come away with the impression that— “Okay, we now know they all took bribes..but what does Jack leave out?” 
Prostitutes? Drugs? What? I’m convinced that Jack Abramoff knows more than he will ever tell because he loves his family. He’s not about to risk his life, or theirs. He swam with the sharks, he was the shark, and somewhere along the line, they went after him…because he knew too much.
And he was a devote Jew. I don’t know why, but I wouldn’t rule out his devotion to his religion as being a target. Somewhere along the line, and once in a while…our most corrupt politicians throw someone to the sharks..just to keep themselves out of jail. And the ones they throw into jail: know too much, or don’t follow orders.
If you don’t have time to read the book: go to the last chapter. Jack makes excellent suggestions:
“The reason there are tens of thousands of lobbyists is because the ever expanding federal government creates ever increasing opportunities of abuse. The more the federal does, the more lobbyists there will be to protect special interest at the expense of the common interest. “
“We need to eliminate any contribution by those lobbying the government participant in a federal contract or otherwise financially benefitting from public funds. If you get money or perks from elected officials be you a company, a union, an association, a firm, or an individual, you shouldn’t be permitted to give them so as one dollar.” “Lobbyists should be banned from contribution to official organization and campaign funds. They should be banned from gift given as well.” “Post public service lobbying employment needs to be eliminated. If you choose to serve in Congress or on a congressional staff, you should be barred for life from working for any company, organization or association which lobbies the federal government. “
Nobody Says—They should throw in that Presidential Advisors can’t get cushy jobs on major televisions networks to “lobby” the American people either for their X- bosses : Dana, Rove–Mathews, Stephanopoulos…
“If you choose public serve choose it so serve the public. not your bank account. “
“Representatives should be allowed to serve for three terms of two years, senators for two terms of six year then they should get out of town.”
“Apply every federal law enacted by Congress to the Congress itself. “
Anyone can see that these are excellent…and this Nobody hopes Jack continues now to use his “gifts” for lobbying every one he knows…to keep our Constitution.
The Constitution could use a good lobbyist right now. If Jack wants redemption…Nobody suggests Jack starts with saving that, before it’s sold to Saudi’s for a future Obama Presidential Library. THAT would be an honest day’s work, and a much better legacy.
Diversity: Not Just Another Pretty Word
NobodyWins
Diversity. The word is thrown at you day and night. Now you turn on your TV and your news program is bound to have a Middle Eastern anchor, and sitting next to them, a Black. OR a White with a Black. OR a Black with a Hispanic. All the news programs from CNN to FOX news make sure that they are “diverse” and with good reason too…it’s in our laws. 
Even while you are watching STAR TREK, you see a Russian, an Alien, a Black, a White, a Scot, and an Asian– all working in cool harmony for the FEDERATION, and it becomes more than just a cool space movie. It becomes a feel good movie to make you want to be a part of it all. Everyone working for the planet of Earth. Who wouldn’t want that? 
But while we have been told that diversity is a “racial” equality thing…I found this little tidbit today from “FUTURE SHOCK” that made me realize there has been another reason for this push by our leaders for diversity.
There is much more to it then “We need to all get along and it will be a better world.” It’s all about control. If your neighborhood is made up of people of all different ethic backgrounds, you will never “bond” together and identity with each other, and therefore can be easily controlled by BIG BROTHER.
Says the Dean of Yale; “Of course we still send our recruiting people to out-of-the-way places like Nebraska, but there’s really as much diversity in taking Harlem, Park Avenue, and Queens.”
Right, the guy from Nebraska will more than likely want to return to Nebraska, and that’s not what he is being educated for.
It’s one of the reason that the TEA PARTY is attacked. These people believe in family, in America: passionately attached to the ideas of liberty, their communities, and willing to fight for its permanence. It’s why progressive Republicans, who want to continue the global one-world scenario control, tried to come in and take them over.
As we have all seen, affirmative action laws have forced “minorities” into colleges they were not even prepared to go to. Most of the Blacks, don’t make it past the first year…but Harvard and Yale have big monetary incentives to admit them…guaranteed money from the state. So, affirmative action was as much about keeping the universities and their administrations and salaries forever in place and assured with taxpayers money, as any “we want a diverse atmosphere” program.
It’s much the same reason the bankers could do anything…the FED backed it if they loss. Same reason: money.
But let’s go further:
“So far the decline in commitment to place is gone, according to Prof. John Dyckman of the University of Pennsylvania, that “Allegiance to a city or state is even now weaker for many than allegiance to a corporation, a profession, or a voluntary association.” Thus it might be said the commitments are shifting from place related social structures (city, state, nation, or neighborhood) to those(corporation, profession, friendship network) that are themselves mobile, fluid, and for all practical purposes, place-less.
This was a way to break down states rights, and communities, and families. The aim…global government and control by a powerful structure of very rich elites at the top. Jeffery Immult, the CEO of GE, once told Charlie Rose that he would fire any employee that refused to move to China.
So, diversity was sold to us as being the Christian tolerant thing to do. But in reality, it’s all about breaking up the strong family, states, and communities, to make people have no control over their lives..and by its very essence leaves every individual less free.
It’s the long version of the Tower of Babel. It’s also why they have at great expense, gotten rid of forcing foreigners to learn English. In the last five years, my neighborhood has changed dramatically. It is now filled with Muslims, Blacks, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Whites…who were the first ones there. I talk to my new neighbors in English, and they have no clue what I’m saying. 
They don’t WANT a united citizenship. They want to control an easily led sheeple.
How do we survive it? This utopia is not about “a global world of peace and property” it’s about..power and money for a hand-picked elite and their families.
Obama is the perfect president for this crowd. He looks like a Black, has a Muslim Name, pretends to be Christian, and can morph into any character that he needs to, to promote the NEW WORLD ORDER of diversity. Since they have mixed up America to the point of almost non-recognition, it’s a sure bet that Obama will be around for a long time. If not here, then in the United Nations.
George Will is right: Our best bet right now, is putting people in Congress that will fight for America, because if Obama is reelected, we will need one last place to make a stand.
The Tower of Babel was a forewarning to us all. And that’s why it’s more than likely that Obama will stay in place. He is very good at dividing and destroying.
Let’s not let him.
The New World Order of the General Elites (GE)
His mother must be proud.
Taxpayers will ultimately fund the UN nuclear bank that is in opposition to public interest and freedom. This trick is accomplished through foundations convincing governments to regulate or take action on an issue and then passing the cost on to taxpayers. As sovereign countries dismantle their nuclear weapons under UN treaties, the UN is simultaneously building its nuclear arsenal by way of the nuclear bank.
In short, the sustainable objective is the abolition of private property, education for global citizenship, and the use of technology to control human action. Additionally, the UN is locking in another uranium enrichment monopoly over nuclear power for electricity, which will also increase “interdependency of nations.”
Nobody Knows China’s Empty Cities
Nobody Knows why China is building empty cities in the middle of nowhere, with nobody in them?
Why? Who are they expecting?
This, from Jerome Corsi of WND: The photographs look like giant movie sets prepared to film apocalyptic motion pictures in which some sort of a neutron war or bizarre natural disaster has eliminated people from the face of the earth while leaving the skyscrapers, sports stadiums, parks and roads perfectly intact,” Corsi noted. “One of China’s ghost cities is actually built in the middle of a desert in Inner Mongolia.”
Yesterday, there were more question…
Nobody Knows why Obama continues along the course of bankrupting the United States, and making us look more like China, every single cotton-picking day. Now he wants to spend $56 billion dollars, (which really means $7 trillion by government standards) to build high-speed railroad stations all over the country, so that we just stop driving. And if you DO drive, get ready for that new GPS tracking device that will be put into every new car so that the government knows where you are and where you go, every time you drive.
Nobody Knows how much Warren Buffet is going to make in all of this. Warren has bought up most of the future U.S. train lines. Nobody Knows how many times Warren has discussed building these new railroads with Obama and Hu Jintao? Wasn’t he just in China with Bill Gates?
GE has already joined with the Chinese to build them in California. Jeffery Immelt is now right by Obama’s side.
Something tells me this is not exactly what Ayn Rand was talking about.
Think of all the eminent domain coming…people losing their lands and homes just because Obama has decided to play Stalin on steroids.
On his last trip to the White House, Hu and Barack were proud to proclaim that future exchange of people, over 100,000 apiece were to travel and live in each other’s countries to exchange..what? Fortune cookies?
And now, we see this: Empty cities: Twenty of these cities are being build a year— empty cities, waiting for people. So, are they going to fill these with Americans? Russians? Jews?
Are they expecting an asteroid to hit China on Friday the 13th, 2036 like Michio Kaku said? Do they know the exact spot? Or are they just going to gather all their own sobs and PUT them there?
Or is just another step in the “no borders, one world, one currency one unelected government,” where countries move their people around like chess pieces?
“Here, you give us a few, and we’ll send you a few.”
The Chinese already have airports lined up in St. Louis and Omaha as future Chinese ports. All this building of airports and railroads here by the Chinese makes you wonder if they are just trying to claim us before the Muslims.
Nobody Knows what our corrupt politicians have been doing, but with Buffet and GE getting the big payoff…I’m sure we are all going to be happy campers one day, giving our train tickets to the Chinese porters, and having Muslims TSA agents search us for dangerous materials.
Nobody Knows just when the American people are going to connect the tyrannical dots, but we should have done it— in Obama words: “yesterday“
GE Wants YOU to Save a Baby Elephant
Nobody Flashes–
–that one of the reasons we are so easily manipulated into getting used to accepting this global warming nonsense, is the very smart way they advertise. Nobody does it better than America.
If you want to sell something, put a cute baby animal into the picture. In this case, GE’s brillint ad for new energy just about makes you think that IF you buy an electric car, some cute little baby elephant will be dancing in the rainforest!
You want to change the world? Get a cute baby of anything to sell the idea that YOU..have nothing but sweet and gentle motives for the American people, and the planet.
The trouble is: this stuff works.
Watch as this cute baby elephant (cleverly dancing to Benny Goodman) brings up memories of AMERICAN FACTORIES that are NOT here anymore!
Okay, I will say no more….except this:
I wish someone would make another commerical with a herd of MAMA elephants that would go trashing through the solar panels, smashing them by the sheer force of their weight, AND THEN–the herd would go through a store that sells GE’s new lightbulbs, and the whole herd would take part in trampling them to little bits with their feet, (while the store employees run for their lives) AND THEN— they would stampede those cute little elecrtical parking meters to oblivion, all the while chasing Al Gore and Jeffery Immelt, back to the forest, to the tune of WIPE OUT.
In the last scene the cute little baby elephant would run to get under Mama Elephant’s legs, and hold up an Edison’s lightbulb…and it would light!
And baby elephant would …smile! While Mama patted him on the head.
Hollywood has lost it’s sense of humor.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
