I know this stuff is usually topical but this is too weird not to post..
Last night i had a very vivid and alarming dream. I was on this apparent cruise type of ship (very long) floating in the Hudson on the NJ side of the city (which looked a little different in my dream but nonetheless). The ship was set up like a mall, really long with a few little shops and a main courtyard in the middle of the ship with an elevator or escalator or something showing a second floor (though i didnt go up there). Ill get to the point, I was with my friends Steve, Tragno, Gaelan, Todd, Kate, presumably Richie, and presumably Emily (i remember her after the subway but not on the ship, ill explain later). We were on one end of the ship (presumably the front) which was open on top and probably 50 yards or so long. I was on the left side of the ship towards the canopy but still in an open area and I was talking to Gaelan Todd and Kate i beleive. Someone asked, "Where's Tragno" and they meant where was he on the ship but i was joking around and saw a plane off in the distance getting closer and closer and i said "Comin back from India, look" and pointed at the plane which was now closing in on the city. We were all looking up as the plane reached the edge of the buildings and executed a banking manuever with the underbelly of the plane turning to face us and the plane flying sideways. The plane, then extremely low, headed for the middle of the buildings and sharply turned in a split second to somewhat face the way it had came (appearing to be a manueveral error that 'capsised' the plane) and it dissappeared behind the buildings. This loss in sight was followed a second later by a large explosion noise which was then followed by an even larger explosion noise and (presumably a building or two fell) a cloud of dust, ash, and fire blew out from the city towards the river on our side like a hurricane force wind. We noticed this immediately and started to panic. The cloud was coming towards us and I jumped over the left side ofthe ship into the Hudson with others following suit. We climbed upthe rocks onto the shore and began either walking fast or jogging away from the scene trying to find people we knew. Just then a building on the NYC side of the hudson had its windows blown out in sort of a sequential fashion as if a timed explosion had gone off which caused us to run as fast as we could towards this supposed subway station. I climbed down the flights of stairs and reached this tiny room where the track was and saw a few people i knew around but not Steve (presumably not richie either). After a minute or two i walked back up to street level and I remember seeing emily come through the door. I called my mom a while after to tell her that i was alive because somehow my phone had stayed alive during my swim to new jersey. She didn't know what happened and when i explained it she started freaking out and turned on the news to see what happened. Sometime in this i woke up.
It's weird but it was vivid as hell. As if it was De Ja vu in the making..like i would see this moment unfurl at a later time. If that happens ill be somewhat ready this time.

If you don't like it, leave!
This statement is commonly made by super-patriot types against those who don't like this country. Their argument is simple in theory, "if you hate it so much then you can leave." But I am so aggravated at these people's ignorance that I feel I must comment on this.
If it were that easy, I'm sure more people would, but the fact of the matter remains that it is NOT that simple. People have friends and family in the area that they live in, they have a house, they have property, they have proximity to valuable things like education and grocery stores etc. If they wanted to leave they would have to sell their house, a lot of their house-hold objects that would be too big to move (considering that the only two continental options to move to would be Canada and Mexico and if you were not fond of either the other options are too far away to lug such things as lawnmowers and china sets etc.). Another hurdle would be arguably the most important; leaving your friends and family behind. All your life you are brought up in a certain area in a certain society that all have things in common, an American culture if you will. There is certain to be culture shock in moving to a new country, a culture shock that those individuals may not want.
So just because people disagree with this nation's government or hate what this country has become doesn't mean they should leave the country.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security" - Declaration of Independence
Don't Let the Government control us, remember that we control the governent, or at least we should...

Gun Control in Albany, Martial Law coming

Resolution 108 in Albany New York outlines the details for monitoring purchases of ammunition and guns in the capital city as well as enforces Martial law reportedly stating police corruption as a reason for bringing in military troops. (Martial law claim unsupported by this bill, will be updated once the PDF is released)
This report was leaked on the Alex Jones radio show today around 2:50pm EST and will most certainly be posted on www.Infowars.com within the next few hours. Updates with links are listed below this article.
A listener of the Alex Jones Show called in with this information and listed the Albany County website, www.albanycounty.com, as the source. Both myself and Alex Jones's crew tried to visit the website which would not load, most likely due to the volume of people trying to access it, though this is speculation. The listener then recited the exact URL of the document, and when this effort failed, emailed the pdf directly to the Infowars website. Expect this link later in the day.
Jones admitted that at first the mainstream media would label this as faulty information and ridicule his program and ideas, and then see the document for themselves. Expect to see this in all the headlines in the media next week.

Martial Law in New York State
Do We See A Pattern Yet?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7952557.stm
EU leaders have urged the G20 leading economies to double the money available to the International Monetary Fund to help countries in financial difficulty.
The U.S., France, and China are all engaging in protectionist measures at this time of economic trouble and international economists generally shun this measure as a barrier to global economic progress. This is exactly the point. Do we really want the International Monetary Fund controlling what goes on in each country? No. The IMF will do what is best 'for the greater good' thus resulting in a few countries receiving the short end of the proverbial stick. We have enough trouble with the Federal Reserve trying to control our nation's money supply, we don't need an even larger and more ambiguous entity taking over where the Fed leaves off.

Ron Paul Gets It Right Yet Again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVQOhDuQZU8&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.campaignforliberty.com%2F&feature=player_embedded
He is right, this bailout never should have been passed in the first place for a number of reasons. The idea of the Government disregarding contracts and ignoring the Constitution relating to the bailout is dead-on, and the fact is that they are trying to ease the public and cover their tracks in taxing these bonuses.
http://www.infowars.com/paul-bill-to-tax-bonuses-an-outrage-and-unconstitutional/
This article summarizing Ron Paul raises the real issue: that the Fed increased the money supply by $1.25 trillion. This will cause inflation and weaken the value of the dollar thus increasing the need for this more globalized banking conglomerate to emerge. (see my theory post)

Theory on the Bailout Misuse
Ken Hunt
March 19, 2009
The Real Reason Behind Bailout Misuse
In the past week there have been a number of stories implicating the major recipients of the bailout plan of distributing its rewards to its higher executives. AIG, the struggling insurance corporation that received at least $170 billion in the bailout, has reportedly spent almost 10% of that money on bonuses and compensation. (CNN)
Mortgage Finance Company Fannie Mae plans to pay $611,000 each to key executives this year in order to ‘keep the employees who know best how to escape this recession from leaving their current positions’. Rival company Freddie Mac has disclosed the amounts paid to their highest executives, who will receive at least $470,000 on top of their base salary; almost double what they received last year. (Alan Zibel - Associated Press)
Today, a report came out indicating that “Citigroup Inc. plans to spend about $10 million on new offices for Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit and his lieutenants, after the U.S. Government injected $45 billion of cash into the bank.” (Erik Schatzker - Bloomberg)
With a pattern of misuse of the taxpayers money by the bailout recipients, the recent public condemnation of AIG for their misuse of bailout money, and these companies’ continued disregard for the taxpayers concerns, the question on everyone’s mind is: Why don’t these corporations learn?
The answer lies with the proponent of the bailout itself: Barack Obama.
The elections of 2008 shattered previous records of campaign costs with the Presidental and Congressional elections costing roughly $5.3 billion. Obama singlehandedly tied both candidates’ campaign expenses from the 2004 election with $800 million spent on his 2008 campaign. Both parties had raised approx. $1.5 billion, double the amount collected in 2004. (Ewen MacAskill - The Guardian)
Where did the candidates, primarily Obama, receive this money? Wall street. The Times Online reports, “Despite the financial crisis, Wall street firms make the lion’s share of donations, along with real estate and insurance companies. Between them they gave $370 million and the top corporate donor was Goldman Sachs." (Tim Reid - The Times Online ).
These banking conglomerates, insurance moguls, and real estate companies are all linked together under the banners of the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group.
The Trilateral Commission states on their website, “The Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by private citizens of Japan, Europe (European Union countries), and North America (United States and Canada) to foster closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system.”
Their mission statement also includes nuanced hints at globalization of decision making for the world economy and the world governments, “The “growing interdependence” that so impressed the founders of the Trilateral Commission in the early 1970s is deepening into ‘globalization.” (http://www.trilateral.org/about.htm)
Reading the mission statement without context can be too ambiguous to interpret, but keeping in mind their stress on private citizens from these major industrial nations becoming increasingly involved in global affairs, both economic and political, hints at a possibility of a global governmental body, known as the New World Order.
“Writing in his 1964 book with no apologies, senator Barry Goldwater said, ‘The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future.”(The Obama Deception)
The loose link between these U.S. and foreign banking interests supporting Obama and the Trilateral commission starts with their mission statement as well, “The members of the Trilateral Commission are about 400 distinguished leaders in business, media, academia, public service (excluding current national Cabinet Ministers), labor unions, and other non-governmental organizations from the three regions. The regional chairmen, deputy chairmen, and directors constitute the leadership of the Trilateral Commission, along with an Executive Committee including about 40 other members.”
Though this is a vague connection, it implicates that this commission is comprised of the wealthy elite in business, media, and public service. There is a more direct connection to the Obama administration, but first we must look at the second group in this tandem; the Bilderberg Group.
The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg Conference is an annual meeting of the elite in society and “is said to steer international policy from behind closed doors” (Emma Jane Kirby - BBC News) Due to the lack of an organized website (considering this isn’t as much an organization as it is an annual conference), general information about Bilderberg can be found on Wikipedia.
“Bilderberg issues executive decisions and prime directives to its sub directives for implementation. The trilateral commission takes the Bilderberg group agenda and executes it through regional ‘round table’ groups throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas. The Council on Foreign Relations serves as the managing ‘round table’ group in the United States sector. The Council on Foreign Relations has dominated every administration since the day s of FDR.” (The Obama Deception)
There are two general ways that President Obama could have satisfied the bankers and other financial backers of his campaign; one of which was the age-old tradition of patronage. Who would Obama appoint to notable political offices? The answer is obvious.
Secretary of The Treasury appointment Timothy Geithner, formerly head of the New York branch of the private Federal Reserve, is an attendee of the Bilderberg conferences and a member of the Trilateral Commission. Not only is he representative of these Wall Street interests, but he is also involved in these shady elitist organizations.
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is a member of the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, and married to Trilateral Commission member Bill Clinton.
Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice is also a member of the Trilateral Commission.
National Security Advisor Gen. James L. Jones is a member of Bilderberg, C.F.R. and the Trilateral Commission.
Deputy National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon is a member of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign relations.
State Department Special Envoy and famed foreign policy ‘expert’ Henry Kissinger (who has been previously accused along with Richard Nixon of drafting a peace for the Vietnam war in 1968 yet prolonging the war only to enact that same peace treaty several years later) is also a member of Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, and the C.F.R.
Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee (an important position considering that some believe the bankers and these secret organizations orchestrated the economic collapse and also have a plan to set the economy back on track) Paul Volcker is part of the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and the C.F.R.
Director of National Security Admiral Dennis C. Blair is a Bilderberg, Trilateral, and C.F.R. member.
Secretary of Defense for both the Bush and Obama administrations Robert Gates is a member of these three groups as well.
Presidential Advisor, former head of the Federal Reserve, and orchestrator of the derivatives bubble, which has been seen as a key part in the current economic recession, Alan Greenspan, is also a member of all three groups.
The list goes on and on in a pattern that most certainly cannot be seen as sheer coincidence.
During his campaign Obama claimed that he would not allow Wall Street lobbyists around his administration. The appointments he made to those in the three organizations mentioned above were a crafty way to provide patronage to those who funded him, and not be accused of going against his word and allowing lobbyists inside his administration.
It is also speculation and yet my opinion to note that many presidents provide favorable economic policies to those who help get them into the presidency. For example, look at Vice President Cheney, former C.E.O. of Blackwater, a mercenary corporation, who hired his former employer by giving them substantial contracts for the war in Iraq. Blackwater also provided Bush administrators with an alternative job in the private sector. (Scott Horton – Harpers Magazine)
If there aren’t any lobbyists for the top -level corporations and banking firms, how can they push forward their economic agendas?
This brings me to the second way, aside from political patronage, that Obama can repay those who helped finance his rise to the Presidency; the bailout.
It is important to note that this bailout theory does not extend to the automakers in Detroit whose C.E.O.’s accepted a salary of $1 for this year in order to channel the helpful taxpayer’s funds in the proper direction.
The bailout is a way for Obama to rid his administration of these lobbyists, still pay (directly, as seen with the bonuses these corporations are taking) those who got him in office, and keep his budget in tact by making the taxpayers pay for it. In this proposal, bankers would benefit because instead of favorable economic conditions, the profits from which would be spread throughout the company, they get a direct transfer payment of money, which would remain with the elite executives of the corporation thus giving more money to the powerful members. Once they get payment (equivalent of 4 years of favorable economic policy and campaign loans; $750 billon) the bankers can start turning the economy around and thus Obama looks like a hero; keeps lobbyists out of his administration (with the exception of the immediate patronage of the members of Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission and the C.F.R.) and the economy starts to rebound.
In addition to this brilliant scheme to a. possibly orchestrate the economic collapse, b. receive the bailout instead of economic policy that would benefit the lower level employees of each company, and c. to restore the economy and make President Obama live up to his glorified image, this whole economic collapse has experts talking about a number of Trilateral agenda’s including a North American currency known as the Amero, and the New World Order.
Experts and the general media are using the collapse of the economy and the weakness of the dollar on the global currencies markets to suggest the Trilateral idea of a more centralized and/or globalized currency and a global economic ‘federal reserve’ style organization.
What goes as an unanswered question is how these interest groups will deal with the growing public sentiment against AIG and those misusing the bailout money for executive purposes.
One theory is that Obama will publicly criticize and investigate these matters and the litigation will go on long enough until the public forgets about it due to our short attention span. Or perhaps there will be ‘justice’ in the form of a substantial tax on the bonuses or executive privileges that would assuredly include loopholes for the accused to maneuver through.
This has already been somewhat in use as the bailout provided a clause that forced those receiving the aid to disclose how they are using it, yet it conveniently did not include the major benefactors like AIG.
So instead of asking “why don’t these corporations learn from AIG and stop misusing our aid, are they stupid?”, we should be asking other, more useful questions, like “how is this all connected?” and “what is the real reason for the bailout?”
