		<description>&lt;p&gt;Stupidity can’t be an excuse, or the Republicans will keep trying to elect dumber and dumber people (Palin comes to mind, along with good ol’ basset-hound Fred). And I don’t actually mean it as a joke. I think Ronnie Rayguns was their first trial balloon on this, and it worked.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Nope, pardons can’t be revoked. There needs to be an amendment to the constitution that revokes a president’s ability to pardon his own administration’s officials. And it needs to be written that they can’t pardon people in an administration that they had a significant part in, too. (Like Gerald Ford)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think it’s the other way around, I think we’re going to have to prosecute all the others in order to get them to rat out Mr. Bush. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t think you’ll have enough evidence to get him without rolling up the other people, and &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; rolling up the other people will get you (step by step) the access to evidence that is needed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I know.  But Obama has a tight rope to walk - and he can’t do one damn thing until after Tuesday, so we have to wait at least that long.  I want accountability just as much a you do.  I was telling a young friend today, that the last 8 years have felt as close to what it must feel like to live under a dictatorship as I hope to ever know.  But at the same time we have other fires breaking out, and I’m not sure I want the city to burn down because the fireman has been tasked with arresting the mayor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My gut tells me that O- has a plan on this, and that some measure of reason will be applied to priorities without letting crimes go unanswered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We shall see.  I’m glad there is an outcry for action - and I think it’s badly needed, but there are lots of squeeky wheels at the moment, and Washington is a filty town, so you have to know there’s a lot of navigating that has to be done to see the type of action you want to move forward.  It ain’t just the GOP that’s dirty on this - I’m all in favor of letting what heads must roll, roll - but political realities may flat preclude it ever happening to the extent it should.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And YEAH for Tuesday, finally our long national nightmare is over.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It seems that most people are still caught up in believing the stories the news keeps telling us.  There is something far different involved here that many people don’t know about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama is a TEAM MEMBER in a Political Mafia that includes a percentage of law makers in Congress.  It doesn’t stop there and continues down into the different States and into local areas.  The CIA is deeply involved and we’ve been going through a long term setup for a White House Coup.  The Coup was kicked off when 911 happened and it continues to this day although what I see tells me it’s failing.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How I know is because I was in a family for more than 26 years who are deeply involved.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet the family:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mexico drug plane used for US ‘rendition’ flights: report&lt;br /&gt;
Sep 4, 2008&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j6QonBKKMo2gw1e3ql-xUcQEZbVg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://afp.google.com/article/.....-xUcQEZbVg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cocaine plane trail is open challenge for Obama administration - January 11, 2009   Clyde O’Connor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://narcosphere.narconews.com/notebook/bill-conroy/2009/01/cocaine-plane-trail-open-challenge-obama-administration&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://narcosphere.narconews.c.....nistration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clyde O’Connor&lt;/strong&gt; is my ex-sister-in-law’s brother.  Her husbnd is my ex-wife’s brother and Money Man behind Clyde and possibly Greg Smith.  Be aware that in the second link there is a serious error when explaining about The CIA setting up Coup’s.  The huge drug system creates profits that are FUNDING &lt;strong&gt;Black-Op’s&lt;/strong&gt; in support of a &lt;strong&gt;White House Coup&lt;/strong&gt;.  I heard about 911 in 1996 only then there were three sites being reviewed. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guess who assisted the family with setting up their drug shipping business?  Obama while working at the law Firm where Rezko invited him to work (even though Rezko doesn’t own the law firm) assited the family with drawing up the business papers for their Florida Operation.  This is from conversations with the family while I was married.  Please note the CIA link.  While married the family bragged about being a CIA Asset when questioned as to why they weren’t worried about being prosecuted even if it involved murder.  Obama is a TEAM MEMBER according to the family and this is why he was recruted and introduced to so many wealthy people as they had high expectations of him in achieving high success in Politics.  This is why Obama team includes so many people with questionable backgrounds.  Holder as an example will be a FOX in the hen house if made AG.  &lt;strong&gt;Chiquita&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the family’s clients with shipping huge amounts of drugs and launderering money.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a lot more for another time….&lt;/p&gt;

If compelling evidence of crimes against humanity exist, can Obama and&lt;br /&gt;
“the people” revoke pardons to those who committed the crimes?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;These purported &lt;em&gt;“bank bailouts”&lt;/em&gt; aren’t that at all.  The globalist oil/banking tyrants have planned on this outcome for decades.  They have every available computer model, and their own (IMF/World Bank) experiences to draw upon to know precisely to what extent a fiat-based economy can be stretched (manipulated through every available tool know to man) to its maximum potential before it simply implodes and starts to feed on itself in reverse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They all knew that derivatives and CDOs were deadly.  They planned on them destroying the entire global economy.  They knew that when the end of the inflationary crusade had reached its maximum potential, and swung into reverse, there would be virtually nothing that politicians or citizens could do but watch in horror.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The plutocracy that owns this planet and controls its resources, banks and media, has finally achieved nirvana.  They are telling you to your face that the banks are going to take all of your money, and print more, and leave you with the bill - and there’s simply not a damn thing you can do about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHY?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blackmail is why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are so many co-conspirators, both willing and duped, on so many levels, and the Rockefeller-led Shadow Global Government is so powerful, that no one dare speak his name or call for his arrest and conviction for his Treason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have Total Information Awareness, as does Rockefeller, through his Mossad and NSA divisions, you have the ability to know everything in the world, and as a result, blackmail or kill your enemies (Constitutionalists).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you are Rockefeller and you control the Fed, Exxon-Mobil, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and are taking down your competitors on a daily basis - plus you control the major think tanks, plus the AIPAC/Israel division of the global oligarchy, and your business partners include the Crown, The Bank Of England, BP, and Queen Beatrix and her banking and Oil Empire, and your longest time co-conspirators are the Rothschilds - you effectively rule the world.  You want to control the rest of the resources and countries you have yet to capture?  Destroy the global economy and take the value of oil down to zero if you have to - and simply wait them out:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/world/americas/15venez.html?_r=1&amp;th&amp;emc=th&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01.....038;emc=th&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The foregoing is about Venezuela, but the same will be true of Russia and the middle eastern countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The big oil/banking/new world order conglomerates control the ability to pull oil out of the ground and convert it to needed revenue for these countries that rely on oil revenue to feed their own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rockefeller made his fondness for the Chinese communist system of governance well known decades ago - and he’s been driving the globe to accept a world government based upon its authoritarian principals ever since.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– David Rockefeller, 1973, on Mao Tse-tung: (NY Times, 1973-10-08) &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They ALL work for Rockefeller.  Keith Broadcasts from what building?  Oh yes, Rockefeller Center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep focusing on the trees - which Mr. Rockefeller’s minions are igniting on cue, one at a time.  As long as you analyze one tree at a time, you can never grasp the enormity of the conspiracy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ask Mr. Rove about &lt;em&gt;“discernible reality.”&lt;/em&gt;  As long as the media can spin a narrative to keep you focused on the trees, the entire forest can be burned without your comprehension of who planned it, who started, and why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“Welcome to the New World Order. Your micro-chip please, comrade?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Scratch the previous endining, I hit the submit too soon. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In light of the above, I understand the quote below to a. be restricted to torture/CIA, to say nothing about other exec agency crimes, and specifically to leave the DOJ cleanup to Holder. b. exclude from prosecution the career CIA people who have jobs as opposed to those in all agencies in Exec branches who at the time of his speaking &lt;em&gt;no longer had, or soon would not have jobs. And who were never good people in his estimation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s a stretch, but the quote could also read that I don’t want those who may have objected but would still need to prove it to have to lawyer up. It certainly says in code to CIA people that I want to rebuild moral based on the work of the low level intel people who got shafted and blamed by the Bush admin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s generous, I recognize, but I think it goes in the same direction as your thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would appreciate commentary, and please be gentle, Bmaz. Will check back in an hour. Life is calling me away from the pleasures of the most intelligent company on the Toobz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’re still evaluating how we’re going to approach the &lt;strong&gt;whole issue of interrogations, detentions, and so forth.&lt;/strong&gt; And obviously we’re going to be looking at past practices and I don’t believe that anybody is above the law. On the other hand I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards. And &lt;strong&gt;part of my job is to make sure that for example at the CIA, you’ve got extraordinarily talented people who are working very hard to keep Americans safe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
snip&lt;br /&gt;
OBAMA: That doesn’t mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation’s going to be to move forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
