    Oh HOW funny! ”Outrageous” tax cheats – Now some of these are low but when u compare these to the GAZILLIONS hidden in offshore accounts (to CHEAT paying the taxes), these seem TAME in comparison

    http://money.cnn.com/gallery/pf/taxes/2013/05/20/tax-cheats/index.html

    I think what bothers me the most is that the IRS is going after these ”outrageous” tax cheats while the others are ignored!

    The 9/11 Phone Calls: Disturbing Irregularities Uncovered in the Calls that Flashed around the World

    http://bit.ly/10eDcdT

    PRN.fmThe 9/11 Consensus Panel offers four evidence-based Points about the alleged phone calls from the 9/11 flights. The famous “let’s roll” drama of the passenger revolt on UA 93 was relayed by passenger Todd Beamer’s 13-minute unrecorded seat-back call to GTE telephone supervisor Lisa Jefferson, who reported Beamer as strangely tranquil, declining to speak to his wife. Eerily, Beamer’s line remained open for 15 minutes after the crash. Oddly, the Verizon wireless record shows that 19 calls were made from Beamer’s cell phone long after the crash of UA 93. Initial media reports and FBI interviews detailed more than a dozen cell phone calls from the planes at high elevation. Yet in 2001, a telephone spokesperson stated that sustained mobile calls were not possible above 10,000 feet. Thanks, and cc: @DannySchechterNews Dissector

      ”Ironclad” since the 2001 passage of the Patriot Act

      Come the revolution, Big Pharm should be ”nationalized” no differently than food, housing, education, energy, and did I say banking?

      Not only valuable for the CNN story, the article serves as an excellent backgrounder so we can see the nuts and bolts of how FDA works, or doesn’t.

      The real story here is that we get the money out of food and drugs, and all of the above the same way we want the money out of politics. Like none! No money in politics, nor all of the above!

      Educating armies of ”civil service” employees for ”the government” of We the People. What the well known kitchen appliance companies we grew up with do with their products is their business; none of ours, but even the ”American” candy companies we grew up with importing their products from offshore is outlandish, and chickenshit and deceptive. The ingredients are not the same anymore. The candy tastes different than it did before, and what about the ”untouched by human hands” cartoon from the 1950s showing a troop of monkeys packing cookies into cartons for shipping and then wrapped in cellophane. The cookie cartons wrapped in cellophane, not the monkeys. Does anyone remember cellophane?

      At my age, I have nothing better to do with my life than lie awake nights thinking of how we might implement systems of social justice.

      FYI: The tradename Cellophane® or Cellophane™ is currently the registered trademark of Innovia Films Ltd of Cumbria. UK.

        I would take it a step further and take the money out of EVERYTHING – I am so friggin sick of every company squeezing the last penny out of each of their products – Looked at a toilet paper roll lately? – The cardboard rolls are bigger so less paper per roll – or buy the DOUBLE roll and pay double the price. $10 for a pack of toilet paper? Cans of soup are now smaller. I could go ON AND ON.

        Along the lines of those appliances, remember when u bought somethings and it actually LASTED many years? 6 month old $1600 washer/dryer combo – circuit board goes – There’s another $200 just for the replacement part. Who knows what the labor would have been!

        Clutch slave from a reputable auto parts store – Well let’s see – After tearing apart the entire transmission and a thousand other parts, u install a $100 part only to find that after you have put it all back together, the replaced part WON’T WORK. So u try another one. Takes 3 tries to get one that actually works? Heck, it’s not like it was DIFFICULT or time consuming or INCONVENIENT – But NO BIGGIE – Gotta make that last penny –

        And I won’t even get STARTED on the original ISSUE – Something that can seriously affect someone’s LIFE – ALL to make another buck.

      The tax laws are archaic. They are larger than a large city’s telephone book, white pages and yellow combined. Corporations including banks have the government by the balls. They won’t repatriate money from overseas profits until the tax code is changed. So now it remains regressive, and multinationals remain unaccountable tyrannies doing what they do best by having their lobbyists write the laws that get passed… No hypocrisy there, just human citizens being screwed!

    dxm: Sorry. I’m a little dense sometimes. Tell me again why scrambled jets and bomb-sniffing dog ops were coincidentally staged at the same time as 9/11 and the Boston Bombing ops? See NORAD and Air Force as 911-type ops on September 11, 2001 respectively. It should be noted that the bomb-sniffing dogs in Boston were sniffing for bombs on the wrong side of the street, and tell me the Popular Mechanics debunking ‘9/11 conspiracies’ story again, or the ”Art students” story. And did you hear the one about thermite residue found in the ground zero rubble before it was exported to China for recycling?

    I have a problem with anything with the name Rense on it, or whose writers refer to alleged 9/11 conspirators as lowlifes, or Likudniks as Likudnits. And what’s with identifying every Jew who is a Jew as a Jew but not identifying Don Rumsfeld as a war criminal? I am also suspicious of 9/11 conspiracy stories that make no mention of Bush family members. Otherwise, great find, so thanks, and cc: @PoetParzival.

    These are ”Jewish” names? Not exactly Smith or Jones in America, or Smith or Jones as Americans

    Are they the names of Jewish people who actually exist, and is there any evidence to prove that any of them had a direct connection to 9/11 as co-conspirators? And it must piss off ”we the undersigned” to see their names on these kinds of lists that there’s nothing they can do to stop it. BTW, are any of these people-as-suspects (Larry Silverstein, Frank Lowy, Ronald S. Lauder, Lewis Eisenberg, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Adam Gadahn aka Adam Pearlman (deceased), Ben Venzke, Jim Melnick, Philip Zelikow, Stephen Cauffman, Kenneth Feinberg, Alan D. Ratner, Dov Zakheim, Rita Katz, Michael B. Mukasey, Alvin K. Hellerstein, Michael S. Goff, Amit Yoran, Dominic Suter, Michael Chertoff, Benjamin Chertoff, Kobi Alexander, Jerome Hauer, Jules Kroll, Daniel Lewin (deceased), Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon, and, the ”dancing” Israelis; Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Schmuel, and Oded Ellner, and ”former Director of Central Intelligence Jew James Schlesinger”) on anybody’s ”no-fly” watch list? For the record: Apartheid, Antisemitism and white privilege have no place here.

    degrees of loyalty

    President Obama losing Chris Matthews and Jon Stewart* is almost like LBJ losing Walter Cronkite. I say ”almost” because what Cronkite said truly mattered to ending LBJ’s continuing on with the CIA’s war in Vietnam, whereas whatever Bash Obama bandwagon Matthews and Stewart are on at the moment is more a barometer reading of White House soup, scandal, or your average political pop culture da’jour, that is, within the current 24 hour news cycle. Although dead at 92, Cronkite will outlive Chris Matthews and Jon Stewart, but not necessarily Keith Richards. Thanks, and cc: @NerdyWonka, @TeapartyCrasher and #uppers.
