John Perkins: American Hitman Wants to Hit YOU!
Nobody Knows
One night last month, I was listening to Alex Jones on the radio, and he was interviewing John Perkins, the author of The Secret History of the American Empire. Alex seemed to like John, and the man pretty much went along with everything that Alex said. He gave very sweeping answers and agreed with Alex about the elites taking over the world…you know…that’s Alex’s thing, and so, I got John’s book from the library.
What’s it about? How America goes around the world, and with the World Bank, makes loans to poor countries, knowing these countries cannot pay back those loans, so the many companies and the dictators they work with, make off like bandits by building electric, roads, and taking whatever resources that country has: Gold, minerals, oil..etc….and the people stay poor.
He really thinks that America is plundering the world. 
The deeper I got into the book, the more it started to reek of…BS., and I started wondering if Alex had even READ this book, because he was sort of..promoting the guy. John says he worked as an economic hit man for major companies, and by the end of the book, I felt like I should go wash my hands.
The book was bleeding red all over me.
And there was one section that put it all into “WTF am I reading?” category really strong.
According to John…Daddy Bush bombed Panama because…well read it for yourself:
Rumors that George W. was photographed doing coke and having kinky sex during the time his father was president. There was a theory in Latin America that Noriega had used incriminating photos of the younger Bush and his cronies to convince the older Bush, to side with the Panamanian administration on key issuers. In retaliation, H.W. invaded Panama and hustled Noriega off to a Miami prison. The building housing Noriega confidential files had been incinerated by bombs: as a side effect, more than two thousand innocent civilians were burned to death in Panama City that day in December 1989. Many people claimed that this theory offered the only logical explanation for violently attacking a nation without an army and that posed too threat to the U.S.
Now…who am I to say this DIDN’T happen? I can’t say for sure. But what I can say is that if you read the rest of the book, he sounds too comfy with Muslims and communist dictators like Chavez and Castro, and you get the feeling that, yep— Here’s another disinformation propaganda minister, getting on all the conservative talk shows to act like they agree with them, and then start promoting the ‘America is evil’ program. And swearing they are truly American patriots. 
Alex Jones does not endorse communism, so Nobody Knows if he knew the radical leftist that he had on his program…but I’ve been seeing this happen for years. People that are the, “we need to go back to the stone age, we are ruining the earth, cars are evil, people are evil, but Islam is really a peaceful nation” bandwagon really truly are out to change the world, and they start by making America Allah’s bulls- eye.
Another reason I didn’t like the book is because he put in a chapter about meeting this really attractive prostitute (obviously he traveled for that perk) and to this Nobody, he was bragging about his sex life.
Show me a man who gets his sex mostly with prostitutes and I’ll show you a liar, and a Secret Service wannabe
At the end of the book, you get a “global citizen” lecture: Don’t go shopping, jog: Buy at thrift stores: Write letters to Coca Cola: Cut back on gas and oil consumption: Downsize your whole life: Send money to non-profit organizations (He has TWO!): Volunteer your time: Drink tap water: Discuss pollution: Encourage taxes on gas, clothes, and electricity: and by all means, run for office! 
So, Nobody Knows if the stuff John reports in his book is true or not…probably some of it is: but one thing is certain, John Perkins is a hit man for your pocket book.
If you want to study leftist propaganda: Do yourself a favor–don’t buy it, get it at your local library.
As for Alex Jones? Should I write him a letter and tell him that John Perkins is pretty much a communist?
Nobody’s Opinion of George H.W. Bush
Nobody’s Opinion
Fox News had a special on tonight..a tribute to X-President George Herbert Walker Bush, on his 88th birthday, which is Tuesday. It was so lovingly produced that one can only suppose the powerful Bush family and Karl Rove did it up special for the old guy.
Somewhere in the “tribute” they accorded George H.W. Bush’s loss to Bill Clinton due to Ross Perot, but many true conservatives like me, were shocked at the time, to see Ross lose to Bush, who was by all accounts, not much more memorable than the innocuous Gerald Ford.
Daddy Bush has the personality of a friendly ferret, but he had vast political connections, thanks to Prescott Bush…a subject of many books.
When Bush ran, he was elected primarily on the coat wings of Ronald Reagan, who was so beloved, that if “Ronnie” (As Nancy so endearingly called him) had told us all to vote for Yoko Ono, we probably would have.(On condition that she wouldn’t sing.)
I don’t remember anybody really getting excited about 41. He talked with an annoying nasal, reprimanding voice, and was nothing like the dynamic Reagan. To me he looked more like an insurance salesman. He was pretty boring, until ..Desert Storm.
When Daddy Bush came on TV and claimed our “victory” over Saddam, I was in a bar, and I was the ONLY person in that bar who was not cheering at the sight of the bombers flying in celebration. I thought it all a big show for Bush. Sure, the Bush’s always give the credit to the little guy—(Unlike the ego currently in the White House) but don’t think for a minute that they aren’t trying to write stupendous history for themselves. Like the movie stars, they pay people to work on their “brand.”
Nobody was thinking at the time, how hard WAS it to repeal some little country like Iraq? Reagan had left him with a great military. I hated the way Bush acted as if he had gone and saved a poor little defenseless country—even if he did. 
Vietnam, left my generation war weary…and I was one of those people who could not see why any of our leaders go around the world “defending” anyone. …unless of course it’s Britain.
But Desert Storm was sold the way wars are always sold..with noble platitudes…instead of what they are mostly about: protecting U.S. interests, and in that case, it really was about oil, (BP) which by the way, Bush knew a lot about having become a millionaire in the oil business by the time he was 40.
We had a deal with the Saudis Kings. We protect them, they supply us…and in return they keep the OPEC prices reasonable. That was okay— so why not say so? (Wouldn’t you like to know what REALLY goes on behind closed door?)
Daddy Bush always kept that “Aw…sucks, I’m just a little old country boy at heart” game face on. (Which his son mastered with much better technique) But as the years go by, in hindsight…it was Daddy Bush that took us down that “New World Order” road of globalization, which has done untold damage to our country.
When George H.W. was running for President, they didn’t even mention his past hardly at all. All America needed to know was that he was going to carry on Reagan’s policies. Dukakis was weaker than John McCain—he couldn’t lose. And unlike Obama, Daddy Bush was almost overqualified to be President.
Tell me: How many men in the world in one lifetime hold so many top positions before he became President? He was an ambassador to the United Nations, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, U.S. envoy to China, Director of the CIA, Head of the International Bank, Director of the Foreign Council of Relations, Vice President, then President.
It was the Bush family who pushed us headlong into NAFTA.
Bush’s administration, along with the Progressive Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, spearheaded the negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which would eliminate the majority of tariffs on products traded among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, to encourage trade amongst the countries.[70] The treaty also restricts patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and outlines the removal of investment restrictions among the three countries.[70]
You can thank your rotten bananas for that one.
Perot TRIED to warn the American people what would happen to us if we got into NAFTA. Jobs would exit the U.S. like water pouring out of a sieve he said, and he was right. An army of black helicopters shut him up.
What is terribly sad about all this, is we are coming right back into the Bush dynasty again…which is the Rockefeller Rhino Club— “One World Government” party that is running the show. There are a handful of globalists at the top, and they never leave the control. Mitt might be in the White House, but in the background will be the Bush family. Like Putin…waiting for the day when they get the Presidency again.(Jeb?) And then Hillary in 2016? And Obama will go..where…to the United Nations? 
And he’s the worst of them all. (Obama)
(Does anyone else want to GET OFF THIS NEW WORLD ORDER GLOBAL BOAT of EGO NUTJOBS!? AHHHHHHHHHHH!)
At the end of the tribute tonight, it was obvious that the Bush family wanted Daddy’s Bush’s legacy to be getting people to “serve”..They were proud that Bush 41 had gotten 100 million people to “volunteer” their time serving other people.
(That’s his Legacy?)
Jimmy Carter would be proud….Karl Marx would be proud: Obama would be proud…Bob Dylan would be proud…
Why mention this at all? Wait for it…wait for it…
There will be a day when mandatory “service” will be required of all American citizens, and BOTH heads of both parties will be behind it. Now…be good little boys and girls and volunteer to help your neighbor…or else.
Come on Joyanna, that’s will NEVER happen…
Well… did you know that the real reason Obama made 9/11 a “day of service” is because an X President named George Herbert Walker Bush, wanted it?
Gee…why didn’t Obama tell us that? (Who RUNS these people? )
The only “service” we should be giving on 9/11 is our humble service to the families who lost loved ones that day.
It’s about time our Presidents started “serving ” the American people.
ALL of them.
On Tuesday, there might be alot obout Daddy Bush’s great legacy…and feel free to celebrate a President who by all accounts, was better than any democrat…go ahead…but THIS Nobody is holding out for the 4th.
Nobody’s Perfect: Queen Elizabeth II
It’s quite amazing how they do it: Rulers that stay in power for literally decades—and Queen Elizabeth has held her ground. Coming from a country that rejected the idea of a family line of rulers as being the quintessence of the most abhorrent political system ever invented, I’m trying to catch a hold of getting myself to “like” the Queen. Now that she is in her winter years, it’s not all that hard. After all, it’s not her fault that she happened to be born with the luck of one in a billion…to inherit all that wealth, all those castles. That doesn’t make her any less a person, because it’s the system itself that is to be criticized, not the people who happen to be born into it, unless of course, they start acting like the old King Henry the Eighth.
But now, in 2012, the Americans, who at their start rejected the power of one man on the throne, seems to have come back rull circle. England through the years, took away the power of the idea of ‘King” or one man on the throne (or woman) leaving them more as figureheads, while America has given their Presidents the powers of a King.
Exactly what our founders fought against…and we are paying dearly for it. 
Why is it hard for me to like the Queen? I’ll tell you why. I was like the rest of the world, heartbroken, when Princess Diana was killed. I thought the Queen’s behavior at that time in history was short of a real snob. She had no class, and showed no grace at the time all the world was looking for her…and that’s probably because she really didn’t like the girl, and was glad to be rid of her. When you live under years of being the number one chip on the block, you are bound to be selfish in your concerns. She just did it when she wanted to. It was finally sweet, but it was a huge political mistake. No doubt, Diana’s Star outshone the Queen and that must have been annoying.
Still…hire the best PR consultants in the business, put your propaganda out…and all will be forgotten. And it has been.
The British people love her….so we must take it from them, that she has more than made up for whatever mistakes she made before. They credit her with the good England’s fortune for the last sixty years, but just how lucky are those people are over? It doesn’t sound so dreamy. They have more camera’s on their streets, more Muslims flooding their welfare rolls, more thugs and drunks on the streets…at least that’s what we see over here in America. Still, what did the Queen have to do with all that? 
Nothing. The Queen is the brand. She stands for the British people..a symbol. That’s her job. As you read about Elizabeth, on the whole, she has done whatever was asked of her in the role she was given, and with grace and honor. She seems to have had a wonderful father, (at least he is presented as such in the movie, The King’s Speech) and even if her son is a bulb short of a socket, you can’t always blame the mother on such things….or can you? The rulers of the world are so busy going around the world, the kids do suffer from their absent. And Elizabeth was away from her children many times in her life, the kids left at home.
No kid ends up without some serious mental problems when they grow up missing their parents, and that happens whether your parents are rich or poor…or divorced.
In defense of this horrible habit of England’s Kings and Queens leaving thier kids somewhere while they went traveling around the world, John Adams and his wife Abigail left their sons at home and didn’t see them for five years while John was away as ambassador in Paris and England.
I don’t care if you have butlers picking your nose and bringing you hot totties at bedtime, kids need the parents around. Both his sons suffered severely for it. 
But, in John’s case…they didn’t have much money. The Queen could have had private tutors wherever she went….so I tend to bring that against her. I suppose she could blame it on her historical duties. There is a whole culture of historical “do’s” and “don’t” in the British upper society that has years of cultural precedence, so the rich kids go off to the private schools and we have the Harry Potter Series to prove it…the unfairness of life if you happen to be born a Mudblood…instead of having the royal Trueblood line.
The trouble with rich elites running the world is that they are so far removed from their people. George HW Bush had never seen a grocery store, something he had in common with Elizabeth. When she was here in America, she saw one for the first time too.
These people never had to buy food for themselves…amazing isn’t it?
Tell me, how can you rule people you can’t possibly relate to?
I watched the Queen floating down the river on her barge on that rainy day…celebrating her sixty- year Jubilee. What was even more endearing were the singers who were singing “God Save the Queen” in the rain, their faces and voices busting with pride…giving the performance of their lives. So proud to be there. So proud to be singing to her.
The Queen is very lucky to have such wonderful subjects….has she ever mention that fact I wonder?
I haven’t heard her say it, but Nobody’s Perfect, and that includes Queen Elizabeth…but there is one thing that we should give it up for her for: She plans to stay in power until she goes to explain herself to the Big Ben in the sky. (applause!) 
The longer she rules, the less time Charles has to mess all her hard work up, and the world is a better place for that.
So, Long live the British Queen! Nobody can wear a hat quite like her.
(Thanks to amfortas for the picture of Elizabeth: gunner! And for his endearing heart and soul for his beloved Queen..she is lucky to have it.)
Nobody Applauds Eastwood’s Daughter…
Nobody Wonders
As you know, I have a big thing about ugly purses, especially those that cost thousands of dollars, and believe me, they are all over the place. Go to any upscale mall and you will see hundreds of overpriced bags, most of them, one uglier than the next. 
So…when Clint’s Eastwood’s daughter and her boyfriend destroyed one of those ugly purses for fun I was going, “Alright! Yes! Kill that ugly purse! Scorch that sucker!”
Hey, I got it. For once I got the message….but others evidently programmed by the Marxist revolution were ‘appalled’. How DARE they destroy a $100,000 purse!
Eastwood and Shields – known for his work with video portraits and celebrity photography – decided to publicly demolish a $100,000 crocodile Hermès Birkin bag by setting it on fire before taking a chainsaw to it, all in the name of art. Francesca’s step-mother Dina expressed her disgust at the fact that she even owned a bag worth so much and stating that she does not understand the true value of money. “Some of us actually have to work and live check 2 check, spoiled rotten b***h to burn 100k bag” wrote one angry viewer.
So, the brainwashed, Marxists were all OVER CNN going on about how spoiled Clint’s daughter was, and the poor boyfriend had to come out and defend her.
Personally, I thought it was a fine moment in art history. I wish some guy would take some of those multi-million dollar paintings professed to be “art,” flame them up, and throw them off the Brooklyn Bridge.
I would be there to applaud such a fine moment in Art History.
The real point is, there are all sorts of merchandize sold by the rich every single day that cost under a $100 dollars to make, but are sold for literally thousands…and hey..people with money buy them!
Who are we to say what they can waste their money on? Only a Marxist would moan and groan about it.
I thought it was rather noble myself…one less ugly purse is gone..not to mention, some alligator was slaughtered for this purse. Where was PETA?
There is a restaurant in New York, that will serve you a spoonful of caviar for $90,000. Where’s the beef?
There is a cocktail that is being served up for the Queen’s Jubilee..that goes for $15,500.Where’s the beef?
And most of all, there is a “President” who spends billions just riding in Air Force One everyday, and hands out money (That’s not his to hand out) to all his friends so they reelect him…putting a whole nation of future generations in hock for his lavish lifestyle.
Where’s the beef?
The hypocrisy is overwhelming. So…Nobody applauds the young lovers for doing something this Nobody approves of: ridding the world of a butt-ugly purse not worth the innocent alligator it was slaughtered for.
In fact, I can think of a few other ugly purses they could use. 
Next time, put a picture of Karl Marx inside the alligator purse, along with a side of beef, and throw it to a big guy…who is waiting to be slaughtered and made into a new $100,000 ugly purse.
Nobody’s Perfect: AMC Theaters VS Olympic Torch Bearers
Nobody’s Perfect
m Some stout British men would say, selling the Olympic torch on E-Bay before the 2012 summer games in London, is almost sacrilegious. Some Americans would say, selling the very American Iconic AMC Theater Chain is short of selling the country. But, welcome to the new world of globalization. You make your money now, and damn the sophomoric memories of history and nation.
It’s a new world baby, and the world needa more trillionaires!
But AMC is no longer America. China now owns our Theaters. They own our debt, our biggest beer company—What’s next? Mt. Vernon?
China’s Dalian Wanda Group and AMC Entertainment announced Monday a $2.6 billion deal to take over the U.S. theater group, forming the world’s largest cinema chain, according to a new release on the deal. “This acquisition will help make Wanda a truly global cinema owner, with theatres and technology that enhance the movie-going experience for audiences in the world’s two largest movie markets,” said Wang Jianlin, chairman and president of Wanda. AMC owns 86 theaters with 730 screens in China. The $2.6 billion deal also now owns AMC’s 5,048 screens in 347 theaters in the U.S. and Canada.
” As the film and exhibition business continues its global expansion, the time has never been more opportune to welcome the enthusiastic support of our new owners,” said Gerry Lopez, chief executive officer and president of AMC.
Glad you’re happy Gerry. I’m going to Regal Theaters from now on.
Second: In England, 8,000 Olympic Torch bearers were chosen by many different people, to have the HONOR of carrying the Olympic Torch throughout England this summer. Each Olympic Torch costs around $782 dollars, and what are these proud torch bearers who were chosen to be honored doing?
They are selling their torches on E-Bay.
Some runners put their torch up for sale even before they had carried the flame! Believe it or not, most of the runners asked for a minimum of £100,000 ($158,120) while some even offered the white-and-gold torchbearer uniforms along with the torches.
Well, Nobody Thinks picking 8,000 torch bearers and giving them each a different torch in the first place was really a big waste of money. One torch should have sufficed.
Nobody Wonders what loonie elite on what elite loonie Olympic committee thought that stunt up?
As for AMC, I still haven’t gotten over Anheuser Busch being sold to Belgium.
Last week the big talk was about the great success of the new blockbuster Marvel comic movie “The Avengers.” It’s a great movie made in the way only America can do… but I did noticed something rather strange. 
In one scene Captain America said something that sort of shocked me: When asked to put his uniform on which had the American Flag on the front…he said, “That’s a bit old fashioned, don’t you think?”Yes, Captain America actually said he thought America was a bit old-fashioned.
The rebuttal remark came back quickly:”I think maybe we could USE some good old fashioned right now.” (Not exactly right, but you get the gist.)
Nobody can’t help but wonder: How much do you wanna bet that the line:”We could use some old fashion right now.” was NOT seen in China. They just let Captain America say, “That’s a bit old fashioned, don’t you think?” You know it.
America is being sold as “old fashioned.” all over the world, and it’s old fashion to want your biggest American CEO’s to not go for the big buck, and your British Olympic runners not to sell out for money.
But money is the game now. So—– I’m all ready to move forward!
Let’s sell Obama and all the evil ones in Congress to the highest bidder on E-Bay!
As far as I can tell, America is up for sale—let’s get rid of them, I’m ready to start over.
Think we could get a few bucks?
Cufflinks, Canadian Bill, and ?
Nobody Wonders
If you think the “rich’ have just a bit too much money…if you think that Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party people might just get have something in common…you might be right.
Tell me…would you pay $89.9 milion for a painting called “Orange Red Yellow” ?
Or how about $4.2 million for a pair of cufflinks? 
Or how about this: Something that creeps even me out…the new twenty-dollar bill in Canada, not only makes the Queen look like she’s have a bad hair day in the middle of a tree, the twin towers look as if they have naked women on them. What’s even more weird is that everyone is concerned about ..the naked women on the towers, NOT the fact that Nobody Knows why in the world Canada would want to put the twin towers on their $20 dollar bill. I mean, are they planning on building a pair of their own with naked women on them? WTF? How are the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 suppose to take that?
Nobody’s Fool: Steve Jobs
Nobody’s Fool
Like most baby boomers I am fascinated by the life of Steve Jobs. I actually remember typing on a typewriter…and having to white out mistakes, and getting ink on my hands from the carbon papers. The advancement of computers in our lifetime, while not as life changing as the car and the electric light in my grandmother’s lifetime, has certainly opened up new worlds for everyone. So the masters, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, have always been hero’s to my generation.
The new hit biography about Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson, left no punches. In most cases he was a spoiled, absolute brat, with no social grace whatsoever. Still genius is forgiven when it comes to changing the world, and while the book makes you feel sorry for his family, and anyone who worked with him, they all said, without Steve, none of that fun stuff like the Mac, the I-Pod, the I-Phone, the I-Tunes…none of it would have existed.
He was arrogant, egotistical, mean, but right most of the time. In other words, he believed in himself and for that, he had his dad and mom to thank. Not the real ones, but the ones who adopted him.
While American’ s worship Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs, neither one of these men made the really cool computers we use today. What they did do was find the right engineers, and push the right ideas until they came into being. The real credit behind computers, men like Steve Wozniak, Jobs’ early partner, fade into the background. But— it’s one thing to have the vision, it’s quite another to make the visions happen and that’s where Gates and Jobs are attached at the hip.
The difference is that Gates licensed his software out to everyone, and Jobs kept all is ideas in the family of Apple. Two different business models. Two different men. Jobs was an artist. Gates, more the businessman.
Steve was a Bob Dylan fan. He was a Beatles fan. He was the hippie of the sixties who dropped acid, and went into a veggie diet that deprived him of the protein he needed in the end of his life when he was fighting cancer. I knew so many of these people growing up…the wild and crazy “peace, and free love” kids, who were, yes..children. When they got out into the real world..most all of them grew up and became conservatives.
But what happened to the baby boomers who didn’t grow up? The ones who stayed in that hippie stage forever? Like, Hillary Clinton?
The answer: They had rich parents to begin with. Hillary and Steve Jobs had upper middle class parents. So did Bill Gates. They never left the “free and open” leftist propaganda of the sixties, or even questioned it. They were ‘sensitive’ and were out to change the world. And they had the connections to do it.
You can read the biography about all the clever things Steve Jobs did to make his visions come to life, it’s a good book …but I’m going to talk about something else that bothers me: Why do so many of these people…ones who make money the good old capitalistic way, feel so connected to Karl Marx?
The two biggest capitalists of our generations…were die hard liberals. Both Gates and Jobs were Democrats. Al Gore was on the board of Apple. Bill Clinton was a good friend. While Steve Jobs told Obama that he needed to get the government regulations off businesses back, he still wanted to help Obama get reelected by making a great commercial for his reelection campaign.
Here’s a funny story from his book: Steve Jobs had the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, on his board of Directors at Apple, probably due to Al Gore’s insistence because Al Gore is on the board of Google and Apple. Google literally stole the I Pad idea and came out with the Android. Steve was so mad at getting ribbed off by his own board member he said:
“Google, you fucking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off. Grand Theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this. Outside of Search, Google’s products. Android, Google Docs, are shit. “
Did Al Gore have anything to do with this theft? Al Gore is on Google’s board too, and Al Gore and Google would think nothing of “redistributing” Steve Jobs hard earned ideas to the world for free, if they both could get rich off of it themselves.
There’s something about Bill Gates that creeps me out. He puts on that “face” of innocent and it’s no doubt that you would be “gotten.” Steve Jobs at least was honest. If he didn’t like something, he told you. At least you knew.
I’ve never owned an Apple, but, there is no doubt, I would love it. Steve Job was an artist first, and then he became the best CEO in the world. Everyone wants the Apple now. Steve Jobs made sure that the brand meant quality, and that used to be the American way. Steve Jobs wanted the very best, and demanded it. We are all the richer for it.
Read the book, it’s an amazing story.
Who’s Board are YOU on?
Nobody Wonders
I just got finished reading Steve Job’s biography and was amazed about the fact that Al Gore was on the board of Apple. Then I remembered that both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama had been on the boards of Wal-Mart. So,..I don’t get it. The CEO’s of these big multinational companies are hiring government people to be on their boards, and paying them to vote on the company’s issues.
Isn’t that fascism?
From USA Today:
Corporations are largely forbidden from giving money directly to politicians’ families for their personal use. But they can hire family members, pay them for making speeches and put them on their boards.
Lawmakers are required to disclose if they or their spouses receive fees of more than $1,000 for sitting on boards but are not required to specify how much they are paid. There is no limit on the number of boards a congressional spouse can sit on or how much can be earned
Elaine Chao, wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., sat on the boards of Dole Food, Protective Life, Kindred Healthcare, Marine Transport, Northwest Airlines and several other companies before ethics rules required her to resign those positions when she was sworn in as Secretary of Labor last year.
Richard Blum, who is married to Feinstein, sits on the boards of six companies, including an offshore company in England called the Concord Egyptian Fund. Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., reported receiving $59,460 last year from Behlen Manufacturing, a Columbus, Neb., maker of farm equipment. Nelson sits on the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Like I said: Nobody Thinks there should be a law saying no one connected with the government, or their spouses or relatives, should be allowed to serve on the boards of any major companies. Really, what does Hillary or Michelle know about running a company? And WHY should they be allowed to vote on issues? Is Michelle on the board of McDonalds? Is that why I’m getting apples in my Happy Meal?
Drones…Here to (cough) Protect You.
Nobody Reports:
Drones. Our politicians are drone crazy. Did you know that the U.S has over 7,000 drones flying more hours than manned attack planes, and more pilots are being trained to operate them than manned aircraft? 
Think of what this is going to do to the commercial airline industry in the future. Most of the commercial pilots come right out of the Air Force. What is going to happen when there is a shortage of pilots due to the fact that our military is training them to fly drones?
Everyone at that tea party was insulted that we even needed to be spied upon. My goodness…we had TEA bags. Very lethal. Lots of veterans had looks of…well, I won’t say.
But spied on we will be. Somehow between worrying about the damage being done to the country from those dangerous baseball pitchers taking steriods, Congress found time to passed legislation giving the go ahead for drones to monitor the skies over the US and spy on its citizens. More than 50 companies are already developing more than 150 drone system. (see map) 
50? Really? Best Buy’s are closing down all over the country, but drone companies are doing great business? What’s wrong with this picture? Tell me…why do we need them here in the States? Don’t we have helicopters? And are there going to be that many people needing drones? Didn’t Obama say the “war on terror” was over?
I mean, come on. What can a drone do that’s so almighty important besides kill you?
It takes a crew of 180 people to pilot one military drones— operate its sensors, analyze the data it collects and lots of people to handle maintenance, and while not as expensive as a jet fighter, the latest Reapers cost $8 million each and can be shot down easier…which is why Iran is really proud to have gotten one from Obama for free.
The CIA is now flying drones, and so far they have killed over 2,000 people identified as terrorists. And it seems, hundreds of people and organizations are going to get to fly them all over the place—It’s just the latest cool toy that you always wanted as a kid. And everyone is excited!
For example, the COA list does not include any information on which model of drone or how many drones each entity flies. In a meeting with the FAA [Thursday], the agency confirmed that there were about 300 active COAs and that the agency has issued about 700-750 authorizations since the program began in 2006. As there are only about 60 entities on the COA list, this means that many of the entities, if not all of them, have multiple COAs (for example, an FAA representative [Thursday] said that University of Colorado may have had as many as 100 different COAs over the last six years). The list also does not explain why certain COA applications were “disapproved” and when other authorizations expired. Most of the active drones are deployed from military installations, enforcement agencies and border patrol teams, according to the Federal Aviation Authority.***
