WHY CAROL LAM WAS THE "REAL PROBLEM": CORRUPT GOP FUNDED PHONY DEFENSE COMPANIES! $700 MIL!!

BRENT WILKES, MITCHELL WADE AND DUKE CUNNINGHAM, CRIMINAL CONSPIRATORS TO TAKE OVER THE USA

Just so you know, Josh Marshall, Joe Cannon, the San Diego paper and I have investigated this scandal and it really leaves all the others behind in significant ways, although lying to take us to war takes the cake.

Because this was nothing less than a quiet coup to take over our democratic system. The Republicans criminally conspired to take over this country illegally. And they did it -- in style, with hookers.

The US Attorneys firing scandal has now become intertwined with the Phony Defense Company Scandal of Jerry Lewis, Duke Cunningham, Porter Goss and the entire GOP membership of the Defense Appropriations Committee. In all, about 15 to 20 more Republican Congressmen would have been indicted for being involved with Lewis and Cunningham on all those criminal earmarks, but Rove and Gonzo got rid of the US Attorneys who would have been in charge of those future cases.

McClatchy:



Internet sleuths two years proclaimed that when you add it up, at least $700 million in phony defense company contracts have been handed out to GOP bag men over the last decade or so. Much of the $700 million was then funneled back to the GOP Congressmen and the party, so in essence, the Republicans robbed the US Treasury to buy themselves not only hookers, mansions and yachts, they also bought millions of dollars worth of GOP TV ads.

Brent Wilkes and Mitchell Wade had several of those companies, many of them using the same fax number, even though each one had huge contracts from DoD through the Dukester's earmarks.

Here is Josh Marshall's Timeline on why Lam is the "REAL PROBLEM":



Joe Cannon at Cannonfire noted the phony companies 2 years ago, and named the GOP names that will go down:



From the Center For Public Integrity on Mitchell Wade:



Please RECOMMEND so this PHONY DEFENSE COMPANY PART gets more sunshine!

and better run out to get bags of more POPCORN!!

Update: I haven't connected the dots yet on the GOP CongressCrooks listed above and which US Attorneys would be in charge of indicting them in their district.

We need a chart of the corrupt US Attorneys, the fired ones and then the list of the Indictable to really get to the bottom of this.

Anyone want to take that on?

Update 2 Solara has the first catch of this thread! Pierce in NM is on the list, and of course the NM Attorney, Iglesias was "pushed out". Good work Solara!

Who else knows how to Google or deduct?

to the crime of stealing 700 million tax dollars of america


did they REALLY think they could get away with this and Sarbanes Oxley should be interesting on these companies

If there is a little angel out there is Sarbanes Oxley and all the billionaires want to change the rules

but alas its going to be hard to do when all this taxpayer money has been stolen from Americans

This is starting to sound like their sheltered phoney company money laundering schemes as well. If it smells like a rat...

including help in the Marianas

Oh yes, I forgot, our Congress has been neutered and spayed, so they aren't capable of doing anything even remotely patriotic.

Little things, like defending the Constitution and enforcing the laws of the land...

through his Group W conglomerate of defense contractors. He was being awarded fat DOD contracts (taxpayer dollars) to subsidiaries that essentially did nothing related to defense. Mirror Coroporation is one of those, a company that ran beta versions of business software to try to turn up bugs before systems were upgraded. Suddenly they started to get fat defense contracts. At the same time, they started to make huge contributions to GOP PACs, the RNC, and to GOP candidates.

It was a money laundering scam, converting taxpayer money into party money.

Wilkes isn't the only one. That's what Carol Lam was getting very, very close to discovering, and that's why they had to fire her. The other prosecutors are minor irritants to GOP insiders like Wilson and Domenici in NM, prosecutors who were trying to do a good job rather than displaying blind loyalty and partisanship and jeopardizing cases.

The other 7 are a smoke screen used to obscure the real target. Firing Lam alone would have raised a lot of questions they really, really don't want answered.

This is all much worse than we want to think. The RNC has gone from a fascist instrument into a multistate racketeering outfit. That's what Lam was beginning to discover. Hookergate was small potatoes. Wilkes and his money laundering scheme was not.

I haven't connected the dots yet on the GOP CongressCrooks listed above and which US Attorneys would be in charge of indicting them in their district.

Anyone want to take that on?

Also interesting that the two biggest contribution recipients besides Cunningham from MZM, Inc. were congress critters Virgil Goode and Katherine Harris!

Virgil Goode of course is a congress critter from Virginia, who is also mentioned above, and Katherine Harris of course congress critter in Florida (about as close to the territory of Panama in the continental U.S. as one might get in another state). HMMM!!!!

Another HMMMM!!!! is to perhaps probe what might have precipitated Qualcomm hiring Ms. Lam now for the great job she has now! I'm sure she deserves to get a great job and be paid well where she goes. But it was pretty conveniently offered quickly so that there'd be no option for her to "come back" if there was a lull while she was mulling her future.

And also note who's on the board of directors at Qualcomm. None other than Brent Scowcroft, who's also a major part of AIPAC and ATC, the big arm twisters for Israel and Turkey respectively in terms of lobbyists. Some note that AIPAC and ATC, though they are supposed to represent those countries' interests, are in fact more tied in to a cabal of multi-national defense companies. AIPAC for example has been pushing hard on us to prepare to attack Iran, though Zogby polls, etc. have indicated that most Israelis don't want such a conflict to happen!

This reaches back to what scandals that Sibel Edmonds was working on too potentially! PLEASE FOLKS! Call Waxman's and Conyers office TODAY to get them to have Sibel and other members of the NSWBC testify in hearings before their committees! We NEED that to happen now! As Sibel had said earlier when trying to help us connect the dots. It doesn't matter where you start, these scandals are ALL related and point back to the same people!

I believe that Duncan Hunter was as big a "protected" entity as Lewis was too. Look at the NTC scandal going on down here in San Diego, with his brother getting a lot of convenient "favors" as VP of the very corrupt Corky McMillan and his McMillan development company who's now screwing over the city with a land deal that was supposed to give the city 50/50 split on revenue and is through his chicanery giving them almost nothing. Of course many city officials who got elected got a lot from them (aka both the current mayor and the one that resigned under pressure before the special election that put in place the present one).

I also heard of Hunter's "pending indictment" prior to the last election, as well as other rumors that sound equally salacious, in addition to the documented inconsistency between the value he paid in real estate taxes on his old house (and had had it assessed at) versus what his insurance agent valued the house and paid him for it after the fires here a couple of years ago.

It's in the movie "Why We Fight"

As if God is a God of corruption and avarice! He will one day encounter a very scortching locale for associating the Almighty in his dirty dealings I suspect...

Double mega !!!!!!!!

The "Party of God?" I don't think so.

In watching news on him for the last year or so, I've noticed that he's always tried to put out "distracting" news about himself when other articles in the independent press pop up about him that he'd rather most of us not see. His running for president is basically a "long running" google bomb that makes it hard to rake through the muck to find the juicy stories on his issues with NTC, his home insurance fraud, his connections to Hookergate, his continued assertions that prisoners eat well in Guantanamo, etc.

could you benefit from using an organizer chart like this?


The website has many configurations to choose from. . .good luck!

Larger CIA and DoD Privatization Scandal Emerging from Walter Reed Story, US Attorneys Firing
by leveymg
Sat Mar 10, 2007 at 03:58:42 AM PDT
Rumsfeld and Top GOP Figures Profited from Privatization of VA Hospital, CIA Contractors

A large global hedge fund, Cerberus Capital Management (dba, Cerberus-Gabriel), is at the center of an emerging Pentagon and CIA contracting scandal that has the attention of three Congressional Committees.

In each case, the companies under investigation have links to prominent GOP figures, including Vice President Dick Cheney, former Vice President Dan Quayle, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and several Republican Congressmen indicted for corruption involving kickbacks from defense contractors. The Republican Congressional Campaign Commitee (RCCC) has also received substantial contributions from conservative fund managers running Cerberus, a virually unregulated $30 billion hedge fund, which owns the second largest bank in Israel.

This scandal involves the mismanagement of VA hospital facilities privatized during the Bush-Cheney Administration, as well as intelligence abuses by private CIA contractors.

MORE below the fold . . .

leveymg's diary :: Permalink :: There's more... (608 comments)

involving money laundered through Nigeria. That's the one that kept the pubbies from indicting Jefferson. It's amazing how fast they tried to back away from indictment after the FBI found the cash in his freezer.

And I was about to post a link to it here until I saw you had. I get the feeling more and more that Rep. Jerry Lewis is central to this business -- maybe even more so than Duke Cunningham -- and that the Lam firing was in large part to protect Lewis. The materials you posted about the Lewis-Cerberus connections are essential reading. As you said there:

"Both the MZM-Cunningham and Jerry Lewis cases involve the funneling of foreign money to the GOP through a neocon controlled global hedge fund, Cerberus Capital Management, that was dispersing money to a number of key GOP figures and organizations in various ways, including Bush, Rumsfeld, a number of GOP Congressmen, and the RNC. The case is also tied up with the Walter Reed scandal, and the effort to privatize many Pentagon and CIA functions, which resulted in catastrophic failures at both."

Thanks Leveymg. This is even bigger than I thought!!

Hookers, kickbacks, money laundering, limos, poker parties,
young gay male "escorts," hotel rooms, phony companies,
defense funds winding up with the RNC and repug campaigns,
and the CIA



If this gets to the press oh boy look out ... They will have to find the
missing white girl in Aruba.

Hmm so lessee..we have Rep. Pierce, Rep. Wilson and Sen Domenici operating under a cloud of scandal very interesting.. And yeah it sure looks like the Gonzoid is involved....

A Big k&r


INVESTIGATE IMPEACH INDICT INCARCERATE

We need to CONNECT THE DOTS people!!

Are we mice or ARE WE BLOGGERS?!?!

Get to work!

My only fear is that the whole thing is just too damn complicated. It's just not as simple as a blow-job to get angry about. But with the Democratic Congress, this had better be looked into, thoroughly and quickly. Criminal bastards.

some of it to take over the USA with GOP TV ads.

It's a quiet coup d'etat that we have all just lived through...

buying off Secretaries of State to steal elections.

All that cash the Dept. of Defense was being laundered through
questionable companies and then the clean cash was put back into
the hands of lobbyists and contractors who used it to corrupt the
whole system.

Your tax money was buying bush/Cheney t.v. spots.

Along w/ blow jobs for congressman.

Now we finally can get the bastards, right?

not that icky consensual stuff between Bill and Monica ... because those are the
"bad type" of blow jobs.

Funny how many of these right wing family values folk like gay sex.

what a bunch of lousy lying hypocrites the republicon cronies are, pretending to piety and moral superiority, while stealing from America and using the money for Blow Job Supremo...

More nails in the gop coffin.

We must stay the course in the War on Congressional Corruption.

Turnin' it back on the fuckers!

Lam (sp?) is the obvious target. Cunningham was the person all America knew. To hammer him was more than the admin. could tolerate. Hence, get rid of about 7-10 U.S. Attys. and they won't notice who we are targeting. We are dealing with some bad, bad boys and girls. The hatchets are out. Everyone (bushies) are claiming the usual, that they had no knowledge of what was going on.

Does Waxman know about this?

I imagine if Carol Lam testifies, this will all start to come out.

With the number of investigations coming down the pike, there won't be time to do much else. Bet we might start seeing some better legislation passing soon though.

Bud Cummings' firing so far has been put in a separate category, I think. He supposedly was fired to make way for one of Rove's henchmen.

I don't know of a corruption case against any high-level Repukes or Repuke contributors in Arkansas, but then, a grand jury is secret.

The only thing I can think of without more info is that Arkansas just went Democratic on all major statewide offices - Governor, Lt. Governor, and on down. Mike Huckabee (R) just finished 10 years as governor. Could the Cummins firing just be positioning the Repukes to do some dirty dealing in the 2008 presidential elections? Or was it just political payoff for a Rove buddy from Arkansas?

Any insights?

That may be it:

Henry Bonilla, Roy Brown, Rick Clayburgh, Duke Cunningham (of course!), John T. Doolittle, Maria Guadalupe Garcia, George W. Gekas, Lindsay Graham, Duncan Hunter, Darrell Issa, Samuel Johnson, Thaddeus G. McCotter, Constance Morella, Devin Nune, Steve Pearce, Bill Van de Weghe Jr., Jerry Weller.

...so he'd be positioned to investigate or even indict old associates of Hillary's on the slimmest of pretexts, real or fabricated.

Then, should Hillary win the '08 nomination, you might soon see headlines like, "Clinton Campaign Staggers Under News of Indictments".

That's how the scumbags operate.

Mr. Ed, you are one smart MF!

I'm not that devious. Man, talk about a disciple of Machiavelli.....

The common theme in all these attorney firings involves stealing elections. Some of them were about trumping up corruption charges against Democrats and squashing those against Republicans. Still others were about election fraud, covering over the traces of election fraud, and promoting the phony issue of "voter fraud" in its place.

I posted quite a bit of this in a thread yesterday on the "voter fraud" scam:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

But I've dug out more today. It seems that Timothy Griffin, the Rove crony who was appointed in Arkansas, was the guy behind the notorious "caging" scheme in 2004:

http://www.gregpalast.com/bushs-new-us-attorney-a-crimi... /

. . . Timothy Griffin, Karl Rove’s assistant, the President’s pick as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Griffin, according to BBC Television, was the hidden hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election. . . .

In October 2004, our investigations team at BBC Newsnight received a series of astonishing emails from Mr. Griffin, then Research Director for the Republican National Committee. He didn’t mean to send them to us. They were highly confidential memos meant only for RNC honchos.

However, Griffin made a wee mistake. Instead of sending the emails — potential evidence of a crime — to email addresses ending with the domain name “@GeorgeWBush.com” he sent them to “@GeorgeWBush.ORG.” A website run by prankster John Wooden who owns “GeorgeWBush.org.” When Wooden got the treasure trove of Rove-ian ravings, he sent them to us.

And we dug in, decoding, and mapping the voters on what Griffin called, “Caging” lists, spreadsheets with 70,000 names of voters marked for challenge. Overwhelmingly, these were Black and Hispanic voters from Democratic precincts.

Timothy Griffin also worked closely with Jim Dyke, who was RNC communications director at that time -- for example, on the John Kerry haircut flap:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

Right after the election, Dyke co-founded the American Center for Voting Rights -- a "voter fraud" astroturf group that was quickly called in to testify before Congress by then-Rep. Bob Ney. (For details, see my posts at that other thread.) This is why we now have voter ID requirements making it more difficult for poor people to vote but have made only minimal progress on the real problem of election-stealing.

And Ney, of course, had his own connections to Jack Abramoff -- which brings us back to the money-laundering aspect. For example, I found in posting on that thread yesterday that in 2005 John Conyers was complaining that the attorney for northern Ohio had dragged his feet on investigating crooked coin dealer Tom Noe until after the 2004 election, and was even asking for a special prosecutor. (That was, needless to say, one of the attorneys who was not fired.)

It goes round and round, but the themes remain constant: stolen elections, money-laundering to finance stolen elections, and cover-ups of stolen elections. And almost all the scandals that have emerged over the last two years are part of the same merry-go-round.

Now that San Diego prosecutor Carol Lam is gone, what trustworthy entity is capable of a really good, deep digging investigation to tie the threads of corruption together?

They have to because Lam and the others were fired.

Those two (Chairmen of Judiciary Committees) are now the only sheriffs in town...

cross post


Yep, this is the same Tim Griffin that the Bush administration inserted as a US Attorney in Arkansas, after firing the existing US Attorney there.

I expect this is why Mr. Griffin suddenly got cold feet and withdrew his name from serving in this position further.



Here is the BBC story from October 26, 2004, describing this illegal voter caging in Florida:





According to one of the e-mails in the link below, dated August 26, 2004, the "National Research Director" named in the BBC piece above is, none other than:

Tim Griffin
Research Director and
Deputy Communications Director
Republican National Committee
310 First Street, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20003



It's time to send in the federal marshals for this entire administration.


E-mails at this link:

a job for an unqualified Rove friend at this time. Bud Cummins is a really good guy, someone that people from all sides respected. Did his job and did it well. Mike Beebe, gov of Ark is going to bat for Cummins. There maybe other news but it has not come to light as of yet.

Actually I am not surprised by any illegal action these assholes take anymore. They used naive moron voters and blind to the election corruption citizens to take over and then they used America's treasury like someone with an inside trading stock tip would to rake in tons of cash. Their initial campaign money investment was minimal, their reaped gains from the theft of our economy is enormous and possibly impossible to completely add up.

They have raped our country the past 12 years and in doing so brainwashed a majority of Americans to take it and like it.

Rp

... and that is what was so dangerous to the Corrupt Republicans involved in this sordid affair.

If the Democrats get to the bottom of this, and get the story out before the 2008 Election, this will turn Republicans out of office by the droves.

This may be the biggest scandal uncovered so far, but I suspect that following this one to its genesis will lead directly to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove etc. They have obviously been lining their pockets at taxpayer expense.

Congress needs to increase the staffing and resources for all committees engaging in investigating corruption, and do it now.

This will be a bipartisan search for the truth once Republicans realize that the truth will be ferreted out, and there will be no defense they can offer to mitigate such outrageous conduct by their fellow party members.

So far from Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Dirkson,
and Margaret Smith that is not funny.

They use the term republicans but they are organized thugs
who put party and power over country.

breaking today, NRSC headquarters was raided in the ongoing RICO investigation. all Federal elected, appointed and placed Republican officials have be arrested and charged with conspiracy, piracy, money laundering, tax evasion etc... etc... it'd be over.

Daniel Hopsicker had a world exclusive on this in November, 2005:
http://www.madcowprod.com/11302005.html

...

A (highly preliminary) total of almost $700 million earmarked for national security going to “defense contractors” which just a few years earlier didn’t exist which provide services the Pentagon didn’t ask for or presumably need.

FBI probes Watergate prostitution allegations
Infamous hotel used by defense contractor to entertain lawmakers?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12634250 /

BTW, anyone truly interested in this stuff with DoD funding should read Tim Weiner's classic Blank Check: The Pentagon's Black Budget
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12634250 /

See post #19 and 20. The guys put it succinctly ! "Blow Jobs"

http://www.namebase.org/sources/PR.html

"" Reagan doubled the Pentagon budget between 1981 and 1985, and by 1991 Bush had increased the "black" portion to 25 percent. Born from the Manhattan Project, described by Weiner as a "mutant chromosome in the American body politic," this secret operation is now a full-blown parallel government.

Weiner shows the secret government at work in diverting funds illegally, creating military units outside the chain of command, conducting covert wars, and transforming Star Wars into a system for the control of space. This book is a solidly-documented description of how the U.S. responded to atomic weapons and the Cold War by giving birth to, nurturing, and ultimately succumbing to a national security state. ""

A totally unconstitutional scheme to circumvent Congressional "defense/national-security" funding and funnel it through "black ops etc." Alfred McCoy was also onto it in his book The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_W._McCoy

... as a German daily suggested in a "conspiracy theory" a few months back. Up to now we've been blaming the superdollar counterfeits on North Korea, which had lead earlier to us getting new 20's and other larger currency to defeat these higher quality counterfeits.

I put a translation up of it, but it was removed quickly because the site was on DU's "black list".

Here's another article that postulates this as well. With our "official" dollar supply being too large now and causing currency value drops, perhaps this makes some sense, since any time this currency gets "found" it will be written off as "not valid" which perhaps is felt shouldn't affect our currency value as it would if we just printed more money as they might be tempted to do.

Another way to twist the Iran Contra scheme model!

via a Liberian corporation. When this hit the news it was laughed off by both sides who said "I thought it was Librarians". Ha Ha.

All "perfectly legal" since no way could that money's source be traced due to Channel Islands (off France's coast) be traced.

Kinda reminds you of the Credit Suisse bank account # that was transposed during IranContra. If that hadn't happened we'd probably never have found out CS was Ollie's favorite bank.

I have the impression that someone gets a huge check, and they run off and buy a building, and hang a plaque inside. But they still have to satisfy the IRS. At the very least the IRS has their information, phony or real. Either way, I wonder if that's onee avenue to pursue this kind of investigation. It's the first thought that popped into my head. I thought I'd throw it out there.

Nice work.

The Seattle Times published this letter from a lobbyist to former House Ethics Committee Chair "Doc" Hastings telling Hastings to get rid of Washington State fed prosecutor McKay.

There are three names on the cc list:

What's your read on Fund being there, presuming it's the WSJ John Fund?

To me, it seems as though there might have been a "work group" on voter fraud and that Fund was copied as a means of keeping him abreast of the national effort. The "voter fraud" issue is a bogus one, of course.

Send to KO!

Keith Olbermann just fucked up this story completely last night, never focusing on the Carol Lam story, the most important one, and even once stupidly mentioning the Attorney who got Duke Cunningham as "he"--"HE." Same as always. Sen. Dianne Feinstein gave a great Floor speech on Feb. 15th, going over Carol Lam's great resume and successful cases, http://feinstein.senate.gov/07releases/r-usattorney-stm... , and also a release on the latest information she has learned, and "pushback" from Gonzales' office when she started investigating the firings, http://feinstein.senate.gov/07releases/r-us-attorney031... . It is all very interesting, and Carol Lam, with her widening, deepening, investigation of the whole "military-Republican complex," from Cunningham to now Foggo, starting to investigate Republican Representative Jerry Lewis. etc. etc. suddenly fired--this was the main one they wanted removed. Oddly, I tried to follow this story by listening to CNN and MSNBC most of yesterday, with all of their all-male panels, and nobody concentrated on Carol Lam at all--it was very strange. They barely mentioned her, and she was the main target.

The Huffington Post

What ties the current scandals in Washington together? Tom Cruise. Cruise's name has popped up in the Duke Cunningham corruption case, the U.S. Attorney purge hearings, and the Lewis Libby trial. Cruise, the couch-jumping face of Scientology, is like a "body thetan" to Republicans who come in contact with him.

Take David Iglesias, the former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Mexico. Iglesias, appointed by President Bush, was a well-liked and highly approved of Attorney in the Justice Department who wound up facing alleged pressure from Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) to bring down indictments on prominent New Mexico Democrats prior to the November elections. Iglesias was fired in what appears to be a great Attorney purge by the Justice Department. Before Iglesias' work as a U.S. Attorney and his role in yesterday's riveting Capitol Hill hearings he was a Navy JAG officer who just so happens to have been the basis for Tom Cruise's character in the film A Few Good Men.

Former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) was once a foul-mouthed congressman known for his ability to shoot straight from his lip. It turned out he was also arguably the most corrupt Member of Congress in history. Cunningham kept in his office a bribe menu that matched the amount of money in earmarks he would give a company to a bribe amount that he would receive. But Cunningham's true claim to fame is that he was the dogfighting Vietnam War pilot who was the basis for Tom Cruise's character in the film Top Gun.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, as I'm sure you know, was convicted yesterday on four counts of perjury, making false statements, and obstruction of justice. Libby had been covering up for his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, as prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald sought to find the original source of a leak that ended the career of an undercover CIA agent and endangered the lives of those she had come in contact with all in the name of a political vendetta. Now Tom Cruise has never played a short neoconservative Cheney acolyte, but he nevertheless comes into play in this tale of scandal. In the spring of 2003, as Libby and the Administration were worried about possible blowback over their insertion of the infamous "sixteen words" in the President's State of the Union, Libby met with Cruise and Cruise's then-girlfriend Penelope Cruz to discuss the treatment of Scientologists in Germany.

f-ers weren't stealing it all? K & R for sure.

Treasonous, rat bastards!

intelligence-media complex were funding the GOP, bribing and/or blackmailing the awarding of defense contracts, kicking back to the GOP, reaping 100s of millions of tax dollars for start up companies, which kicked back to the GOP, basically benefiting mightily from the WOT. Did you know that the program run by our military to spy on citizens is directly connected to this? So, our government is being run by a privatized wing that does everything in the name of national security, but happens to be functioning like a crime family enriching its base and always expanding its power. Part of the CIA is in on it, and if this were a third world country, what are some of the black ops things they do there that have become standard operating procedure for American diplomacy? Destabilizing governments. Rigged elections. Assassinations. Bribery. Blackmail. Propaganda and psychological ops. Fortunately, none of that can happen here.

YIKES!! They just sound SO busted.

I obtained the PDF from that on the Judiciary Committee's website:
http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/DOJdocsPt1070313....

It's on page 22 of the PDF.

Yowza!

Very informative and impressive work here.

Let's blow the roof off the GOP once and for all. NO republican I know will stand for fake contractors when billions of dollars are gone missing.

This is their death-nell. This is their impeachment.

Waxman's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform could truly look into this and expose this corruption. I've emailed it to them, but the more emails, the better.

Email the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform - http://oversight.house.gov/contact.asp

Hopefully she'll have more testimony later that helps put away this crowd!



Our thanks!

this is using a bunch of energy, but someone send this thread to kolbermann@msnbc.com and tell him if he wants to help the bush bastards be forced out, then he needs to spend an entire show on this! A special MSNBC breaking news report - with as much info as he can connect and link


God bless us in this fight. these bastards are raping, robbing, killing, stealing and more. we have to demand answers...

It looks like Lam was the target of the US attorney purge. The others were MacGuffins.

I am in awe.

when the "Bill Broussard" character walks in on a meeting of Jim Garrison and company and says, "Grab your socks and hose and pull - Clay Bertrand is Clay Shaw."

A Farewell To Justice
http://www.joanmellen.net /

""Building upon Garrison’s effort, Mellen uncovers decisive new evidence and clearly establishes the intelligence agencies’ roles in both a president’s assassination and its cover-up, set in motion well before the actual events of November 22, 1963.

This book will become a landmark. As Mellen explains in the Preface, on the 40th Anniversary of President Kennedy's death in 2003, a Gallup Poll verified that twice as many people believed that the CIA was responsible for the assassination as believed that Oswald, a man without a motive, acted alone.

I hate to call our "intelligence" agencies intelligent ... they've bunged things up once again, haven't they ?

Probably the most insightful, talented biographers/writers I have ever had the opportunity to read.

The vast right wing conspiracy is unraveling faster and faster. The skull diggers are caught in their own shit. Thank our lucky stars. kr

ASS there is. If there's money to be made, and power to be gained, there's a filthy Republican either lurking in the background, or more often than not, shamelessly hustling in broad daylight.
