Gore’s Al Jazeera Deal
Now a Major Scandal

Accuracy in Media, by Cliff Kincaid

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 3/10/2013 5:22:48 AM

While the lawsuit over the sale of Al Gore’s Current TV to Al Jazeera is making headlines, a close reading of the legal complaint provides additional evidence that a congressional investigation into the curious transaction is urgently needed and necessary. The media executive who claims to have arranged the sale says the idea was to make the Terror TV channel “palatable to U.S. lawmakers,” a formulation that suggests foreign lobbying on Capitol Hill in order to protect the $500 million payoff to Gore and other owners and investors in Current TV. The suit says that media executive John Terenzio

...it would be sweet justice to see the deal blow up into a scandal because Algore didn´t want to pay a 1% fee on the deal...

...and if Detroit is the Arab capital of America, that sure explains alot about their problems...

It is intereting that Diane Feinstein´s husband was a major player in the deal. No wonder she doesn´t want the public having guns.

Nice to see the kitchen light flicked on at 3AM so that we can see some of these cockroaches try to scurry back behind the refrigerator. Perhaps there´s more behind the scenes with pistol-packing, money-grubbing Diane Feinstein and her gun control initiatives as well! One thing certainly is crystal clear - they sure aren´t motivated by patriotism or any inclination to "save the planet"!

These people make me sick, including the Republicans who never want to do anything that will stir the pot. Numbers at the bottom of the article to call. Do it tomorrow.

"Throughout most of my life, I raised tobacco. I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life. I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I´ve hoed it. I´ve dug in it. I´ve sprayed it. I´ve chopped it. I´ve shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it. And sold it."

Important revelations contained in this article. Makes me wonder about 2 things in particular: First, was Current TV created as a "shell" by Dianne Feintein´s husband (Blum) with Algore´s status as enviro-savior and political victim as a cover for a pre-planned later sale to al Jazeera; and, second, if al Jazeera could pay $100 million to Gore personally, how much could they spread around to influential Republicans (and of course Dems) in Congress? I have a feeling the pied piper, Terenzio, will be generously settled with, now that Accuracy in Media has exposed the game.

#18 makes the essential point, and I agree. Although Clinton was, in fact, impeached in the House of Representatives, the Senate vote to remove him from office fell far short of the 67 votes required. There never was any doubt that all Democrats and a few knowledgable Republicans would hold their noses and vote to keep Beelzebubba in office.

Some of our colleagues on this news forum never forgave Tennessean Fred Thompson for voting "nay" on removal. While Thompson understood that Clinton deserved to get booted from office on general principle, he knew that Gore would have been elevated to the presidency, that his election in 2000 would have been a virtual certainty if he were the incumbent, and that we´d have been stuck with him until 2009.

It must be underscored that Gore was and is mentally disturbed, and would have been a classically bad president, probably as bad as what we´re stuck with now. It would be cosmic justice if Gore gets laid low by his deal with Al Jazeera. A lower grade, greedier, more hypocritical, more misanthropic public servant has never existed. Tennessee natives, especially, have known this for a long time.

How America Lost
Its Four Great Generals
Commentary Magazine, by Max Boot    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 4/7/2013 3:01:19 PM     Post Reply
The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
