Did You Realize This was Happening ?

when we look at the problems in the economy today, little did we realize that the undocumented worker problem includes so many degreed H1B Visa Holders.

how did this happen ?

we’re really not sure but it looks like a simple case of Bait and Switch.
the H1B workers were lured to Offshore Positions and then the positions never materialized; or they were significantly different than advertised. Business Week did an exhaustive study on the problem.

when you think of what the Off-shoring phenomenon did to the American economy – you can understand why this problem was kept hidden so well; for so long.  the people who are being trapped are well educated, just looking for  a better life. much like the American Tax Payers they are replacing in these jobs.

The real question is – What is Going to Stop This ?

are congress and the department of labor in conversation on this problem ? are they looking at the impact to the American workforce ? have they looked at the impact to the economy ? is there anyway to fix this ?

and what of the companies involved –

are they going to be held accountable for both sides of the issues ?
for what they did by decimating the american workforce ? and as well for turning H1B workers into literal slaves. there is no way this can be ignored.

there are more than a million people under scrutiny because of this malfeasance. the US Dept of Immigration and Naturalization; as well as the Department of State are equally culpable. they issued these H1B Visas to these workers and did nothing to monitor them. some of americas’ largest states house the largest H1B Visa Worker populations – ie: California,  New Jersey, Florida, Texas.

New Jersey by far seems to be the epicenter for the east coast – and New Yorks’ financial district is supplied from this source; so they can’t deny their part in making this financial crisis worse.

These are all States heavily invested in Offshoring and Offshore profiteering.  Very much like the pirates who founded each state.  ahhhh how history repeats it self with irony.

could some of these angry underpaid tricked people be the future terrorists that we fear within our country ?
People always talk about fearing their co workers going “Postal”. well if they do, in this case you can be assured that they have the right stuff to do us alot of harm. Do not forget that many of them know our deepest and most intimate secrets – because they wrote the software and monitored the security of the networks.

they work for Your Bank, Your Mortgage Company, Your Credit Card Companies, Even Taking Calls for  Your Pharmacy and Your HMO.. Yessssss it’s turned things totally inside out. but you can be assured that the greedy pirates who set up this whole Offshoring profit scheme; are sitting high up in their concrete towers, on wall street laughing, at the rest of those who fell for this obvious ponzy scheme.

Whomever thought replacing Tax Paying Citizens with non taxed non citizens was  a bonified genius, the all american winner - lets give that guy an american freedom medal for stupidity above and beyond the call of need.

Quite Frankly Scarlet My Dear,  it Appears that America Is Now the Prisoner of it’s Own Greed.. Would You Care for One Lump or Two Dear ?

okay we watched the fight. as everybody knows by now the fight was basically a “Showcase” to allow Floyd “Money” Mayweather to come back into the market and make more money.  his talents as a boxer are legendary (yawn..) as well as his attitude.

we don’t often get into sports chat, but this was a special occasion at our house; and for $50.00 you tell somebody. smdh

Tonite after the fight Mayweather was being interviewed by Max from hbo ppv;  and to be honest he was just an ass.  so much so that HBO shut off the mic and cut to another group of ringside announcers, just to end the spectacle.

I wonder why he has to take the victory and tarnish it so ?

is it that Floyd has the issue that afflicts many boxers – The Inability to Hear after Boxing.  he seems to be unable to hear anyone else after a match. maybe it’s me, but I looked back at some of his previous behaviour and it seems to match Saturday Nite’s performance.

All in all I can assure you that This was NOT a Fight

In fact Floyd paid $600.000 to Marquez PRE-FIGHT because he jumped in the ring to fight at Welterweight Weight – 152 lbs. so as you can see, it was an “arranged match” so to say

his opponent was at the proper weight of 144 for the top weight of 146 for his class.  Why didn’t the Marquez camp insert a cotticle into the contract that mirrored the overweight clause – saying that if Floyd is into the next weight class, He Forfeits and Pays the purse to Marquez – Plain and Simple.

That would have made it more of a fight I think

when watching the fight I could swear it was choreographed, like by someone like say Paula Abdul. they should have gotten the guy who did Bad for MJ; because I’m sure he could have made it more realistic, and probably more entertaining. (yawn)

Sugar Shane Mosley was ringside and Floyd made sure to wink at him as he was entering the ring; in his blue fake fur sleeveless hoodie. (yes I said blue fake fur hoodie)  I’m sure that this was aimed at bringing suspicion that they may soon be paired in the ring.  That’s a Fight Everyone Wants to See, Ohhh Yeah Baby,  Especially Sugar Shane Mosley.

Trust Me, I’ll Pay for the Chicken Wings that Nite

it’s being circulating that Floyd plans to take on Manny Pacquiao.  just so you and I know that he is serious, and this is not another of his productions – this is the youtube announcement from july 09. I’m not holding my breath waiting on the announcement of the fight, because Floyd is waffling bad.

Pound for Pound Floyd Mayweather is supposed to be the best in the sport at this moment. I personally don’t agree.  In fact based on his present condition and past record –  I believe that if he were to get into the ring at his present weight with Sugar Shane Mosley;  we could all do a little dance and sing a lil song.  cause it would be on that nite,  Oh Yeah.

Just Look at This Work of Art – Sugar Shane Baby !

Sugar Shane came into the ring post fight during the interview. he tried several times politely at the urging of the ring announcer Max to ask Floyd to Put Up That Belt or Shut The Frick Up.   As Per Usual Floyd Jr. was still yappin; but not about the title shot.

I firmly believe now, it’s because he knows he’s gonna get his butt pushed back into the fly weight class that night,  LOL.  Sugar Shane Honey, Have No Mercy.  Please Please Please, as JB Would Have Said.

It is my belief that lightweight intellects who “get” money should hire folks to teach them to keep their mouths shut in public; to prevent anyone knowing how stupid they really MIGHT BE.

That’s enough sports smack from me. We hope you enjoyed the break because it’s back to the grind on Monday.

Watch the Replays of the quite boring and choreographed fight to see for yourself on the hbo site.  HBO Should Make Mayweather Refund Everybody’s Money from his stupid fashion show. the only thing missing was Kanye West. Damnn..

Mike Tyson was there so I guess that makes up for it (yikes)

After Months of Crusading and emailing weekly from our team,
the American people are finally going to hear the real story behind much of the cia involvement in this mess.

next step is to get those headmen into the docks.
Bush and Cheney, You’re UP Next.

Thanks for all the support in our crusade,

Politicus and I did it because of Our Love for The Truth and America.

Attorney General Eric Holder to Appoint Prosecutor to Investigate CIA Interrogations of Terrorists [3:13 p.m. ET]

Holder to Appoint Prosecutor to Investigate CIA Terror Interrogations

By Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, August 24, 2009 2:23 PM

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has decided to appoint a prosecutor to examine nearly a dozen cases in which CIA interrogators and contractors may have violated anti-torture laws and other statutes when they allegedly threatened terrorism suspects, according to two sources familiar with the move.

Holder is poised to name John Durham, a career Justice Department prosecutor from Connecticut, to lead the inquiry, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is not complete.

Durham’s mandate, the sources added, will be relatively narrow: to look at whether there is enough evidence to launch a full-scale criminal investigation of current and former CIA personnel who may have broken the law in their dealings with detainees. Many of the harshest CIA interrogation techniques have not been employed against terrorism suspects for four years or more.

The attorney general selected Durham in part because the longtime prosecutor is familiar with the CIA and its past interrogation regime. For nearly two years, Durham has been probing whether laws against obstruction or false statements were violated in connection with the 2005 destruction of CIA videotapes. The tapes allegedly depicted brutal scenes including waterboarding of some of the agency’s high value detainees. That inquiry is proceeding before a grand jury in Alexandria, although lawyers following the investigation have cast doubt on whether it will result in any criminal charges.

Word of Holder’s decision comes on the same day that the Obama administration will issue a 2004 report by the then-CIA Inspector General. Among other things, the IG questioned the effectiveness of harsh interrogation tactics that included simulated drowning and wall slamming. A federal judge in New York forced the administration to release the secret report after a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union.

A separate internal Justice Department ethics report on the professionalism of lawyers who blessed the questioning techniques continues to undergo declassification review and is not likely to be released imminently. The New York Times reported Monday that the ethics report recommended that Holder take another look at several episodes of alleged detainee abuse that previously had been declined for prosecution during the Bush years, bolstering his decision to appoint a prosecutor.

Leaders at the Justice Department and the intelligence community have clashed this year over the release of sensitive interrogation memos, military photographs of detainee abuse and how to handle the cases of more than 200 detainees at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Holder’s decision could complicate the Justice Department’s relationship with the White House, where President Obama has repeatedly expressed a desire to move forward from the national security controversies of the Bush administration. Deputy White House press secretary Bill Burton told reporters Monday that the president had complete faith in Holder and that the decision whether to launch an investigation was the attorney general’s sole prerogative.

“The White House supports the attorney general making the decisions on who gets prosecuted and investigated,” Burton said.

Holder acknowledges the possible fallout from his decision, but has concluded in recent days that he has no other choice than to probe whether laws were broken in connection with the Bush administration’s interrogation program, the two sources said. Fewer than a dozen cases will be examined, most from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Any criminal investigation into the CIA conduct faces serious hurdles, according to current and former government lawyers, including such challenges as missing evidence, nonexistent or unreliable witnesses, no access to some bodies of detainees who died, and the passage of up to seven years since the questionable activity occurred far from American soil.

During the Bush years, a team of more than a half-dozen career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia, which is renown for its expertise in probing clandestine operations, reviewed about 20 cases of alleged prisoner abuse after receiving referrals from the military and then-CIA Inspector General John Helgerson. Among the assistant U.S. attorneys involved in the review was Robert Spencer, who successfully prosecuted al-Qaeda operative Zacharias Moussaoui and who later won one of the highest awards the Justice Department bestows.

In only one of the cases did the lawyers recommend seeking a grand jury indictment. A federal appeals court earlier this month affirmed the assault conviction of David A. Passaro, a CIA contractor who wielded a metal flashlight against a detainee at a military base in Afghanistan. Passaro was not charged with murder. Abdul Wali, the detainee he questioned, died shortly after the beating but investigators could not conclusively link his death to the flashlight attack.

A former government official involved in the previous review said that, given problems with evidence, there was “no conceivable way we could have come out different” and sought criminal indictments. The official said that analysis might change if new and reliable witnesses emerged.

Current and former CIA officials from both Democratic and Republican administrations have cited the prior review by prosecutors as one of several reasons why the Obama Justice Department need not act. They fear that any criminal investigation will chill intelligence activities and alienate operatives who are responsible for protecting national security.

In a message distributed to employees Monday morning, CIA Director Leon Panetta noted that the agency repeatedly had sought legal advice from the Justice Department, receiving “multiple written assurances that its methods were lawful. The CIA has a strong record in terms of following legal guidance and informing the Department of Justice of potentially illegal conduct.”

The Justice Department investigation has roiled activists from across the political spectrum for weeks even before it became a reality Monday. The left-leaning ACLU and Alliance for Justice, as well as groups that represent torture victims, exhorted Holder to undertake a wide-ranging probe of Bush lawyers and administration officials who helped develop the interrogation policy.

But nine GOP senators who occupy prominent roles on the Judiciary Committee last week urged Holder not to act at all, arguing that further investigation was both unnecessary and unwise.

“The intelligence community will be left to wonder whether actions taken today in the interest of national security will be subject to legal recriminations when the political winds shift,” said the letter, signed by lawmakers including Sens. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), John Cornyn (Tex.), Orrin Hatch (Utah) and Charles Grassley (Iowa).

With Monday’s looming public announcement, however, the attorney general and his national security team appear to be staking out a middle ground — rejecting a broad inquiry that could result in possible prosecutions of Justice Department lawyers in the Bush years as well as cabinet officers who developed counterterrorism policy; but giving civil liberties advocates at least part of what they wanted without supporting a full, independent truth commission to examine a host of Bush national security practices.

How Does returning the Pickled Lost HEAD of a King 200 years later say “I’m Sorry”.

That’s what we want to know. we’ve written about the Saartjie Baartman story several years ago; and when we saw this it was like Deja Vu.

Why do they put people in formaldahyde and hide them; then forget about them for a hundred or so years and boom – ohhhh you found this head.

are you sure you lost it ?

we doubt it since the dutch are so metiliculous about cataloging everything, including HEADS and Slaves.  am I still pissed from my last trip to holland ? well lets just say this was a none too subtle reminder of the larger than life reminders of how holland sees’ itself; aside from it’s Slaving History.

This Chief – King Badu Bonsu II, was killed by a Pirate – who was conscripted by the Dutch Masters at the time. how did HE come into Ghana and Kill a King ?

Welll That’s the part of the story that we’re still waiting to hear from Our Brothers in Ghana. we know many many kingdoms were financed by selling their captives and enemies. could one of those tribes have taken a contract to off the king and then delivered his head to the dutch pirate ?

according to Dr. Van Sertima, the dutch outlawed slavery in 1814 – but our king was wacked in 1838 – wayyyyyyyyyy after the dutch stopped slaving supposedly.

sounds more likely that a buncha pissed enemies did the deed;  than a buncha dutchmen sailing into a village and just going “Off With Your Head” King.  I’d really like to hear the REAL TRUTH behind this tragedy.

Somehow these stories seem to leave it out
