When I watched this video, I was suprised at how candid TI was about his actions and the repercussions. he admits to his wrongs and says it’s time to pay. Big Man Talk, and apparently Big Man Walk from this series.

I know what he’s talking about when he says he was driven to the desperation of fear that put him in that parking lot where his odyssey began. this is one of the best tools I’ve seen any rapper create to pay for his crimes to society.

TI is a stand up guy, and he stands up and gets his house in order episode by episode. he spends each episode resolving one of his own issues, in action in another youths life. he meets them on their turf and talks about their beefs; because he knows them.

The fatherhood aspect of the show is what interested me, because he is after all – a father. He supports his nephews and niece as well, and all the kids know that he is going away for one year and one day, and why. apparently he wants them to be clear on how the mess hits the fan. He admits that he’s taking the hard approach to showing them, but no one doubts how well it will work.

Tiny, the mother of his children, has a reality show as well. shes’ been very candid on why she thinks he did it; and why she thinks he won’t do it again. it’s a departure from the usual bad guy baby momma drama of reality tevee. this one we like.

We sincerely hope that TI continues to help to Address the problems of his youth, and to mentor youth; when he returns from prison. No Doubt he changed alot of lives through his community service and reality tv show. if the network is smart, they’ll engage him further. this is a goldmine for everybody.

Please feel free to share it and to repost it, as it’s a full length episode unlike the short clips found on youtube.

All New Jersey Arrested in FBI sting

A sting that was 10 years in the making came to a successful end in New Jersey last week. It appears that the entire state 44 people, including 3 mayors, 2 legislators, and 5 rabbis and various other citizens were arrested for charges that included money laundering, influence pedaling, and the trafficing of body parts.(how much for a kidney?)

New Jersey continues among the leaders in the nation, with 130 politicians arrested in the last 8 years. Maybe it’s the economy. The recession hit New Jersey so hard the Mafia laid off three judges, a police chief and two mayors.

But we have a long history of this stuff. Back in the 80’s the Abscam Scandal involved a NJ Senator.

In the 1990’s CBS news called my hometown, Edison, the most corrupt town in the nation.

Was it because our town sold a park with historical significance to a developer for 2 million bucks, then when they realized their mistake, bought back part of it for 6 million? To ensure the developer took the deal, they condemned and seized “abandoned” land across the sreet and included it. By the way, the “abandoned” land had a bus depot on it and the bus business was in excess of a million dollars a year. That didn’t matter.

Nope, that didn’t even figure in it.

The godfather of corruption in Jersey politics is Frank Hague. He never made more than $9000 in a year, yet after 30 years as mayor of Hoboken, he left an estate of $5 million. This was back in the 50’s, when a million dollars was big money.

Our largest city, Newark, has not had a mayor leave office without a jail term following since 1962. The last mayor is currently serving a 20 year term.

I suppose we should look the bright side. We have 566 municipal governments. So the means 563 officials didn’t get arrested.

Yet.

————- from msnbc.com ———————

NEWARK, N.J. – An investigation into the sale of black-market kidneys and fake Gucci handbags evolved into a sweeping probe of political corruption in New Jersey, ensnaring more than 40 people Thursday, including three mayors, two state lawmakers and several rabbis.

Even for a state with a rich history of graft, the scale of wrongdoing alleged was breathtaking. An FBI official called corruption “a cancer that is destroying the core values of this state.”

Federal prosecutors said the investigation initially focused on a money laundering network that operated between Brooklyn, N.Y.; Deal, N.J.; and Israel. The network is alleged to have laundered tens of millions of dollars through Jewish charities controlled by rabbis in New York and New Jersey.

Prosecutors then used an informant in that investigation to help them go after corrupt politicians. The informant — a real estate developer charged with bank fraud three years ago — posed as a crooked businessman and paid a string of public officials tens of thousands of dollars in bribes to get approvals for buildings and other projects in New Jersey, authorities said.

All but one are Democrats
Among the 44 people arrested were the mayors of Hoboken, Ridgefield and Secaucus, Jersey City’s deputy mayor, and two state assemblymen. A member of the governor’s cabinet resigned after agents searched his home, though he was not arrested. All but one of the officeholders are Democrats.

Also, five rabbis from New York and New Jersey — two of whom lead congregations in Deal — were accused of laundering millions of dollars, some of it from the sale of counterfeit goods and bankruptcy fraud, authorities said.

Those arrested include:

• Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, charged with accepting $25,000 in cash bribes from an undercover cooperating witness.
• Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith, charged along with an aide of taking $15,000 in bribes to help get approvals from high-level state agency officials for building projects.
• Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, charged with accepting a $10,000 bribe.
• Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, charged with taking a $10,000 bribe.
• Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, charged with agreeing to accept a $10,000 corrupt cash payment for his legal defense fund.
• Former Assemblyman Louis Manzo, charged with taking $27,500 in corrupt cash payments for use in his failed Jersey City mayoral campaign.
• Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini, charged with taking $20,000 in illegal campaign contributions.
• Eliahu Ben Haim, a rabbi at a synagogue in Deal, N.J., charged with money laundering.
  Saul Kassin, the chief rabbi of a synagogue in Brooklyn, charged with money laundering.
• Edmund Nahum, the principal rabbi of a synagogue in Deal, charged with money laundering.
• Mordchai Fish, a rabbi at a synagogue in Brooklyn, charged with money laundering of proceeds derived from criminal activity. His brother Albert Schwartz, also a rabbi, was charged as well.

Those arrested included Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn, who was charged with conspiring to arrange the sale of an Israeli citizen’s kidney for $160,000 for a transplant for the informant’s fictitious uncle. Rosenbaum was quoted as saying he had been arranging the sale of kidneys for 10 years.

The politicians arrested were not accused of any involvement in the money laundering or the trafficking in human organs and counterfeit handbags.

‘Problem is one of the worst’
The number of arrests was remarkable even for New Jersey, where more than 130 public officials have pleaded guilty or have been convicted of corruption since 2001.

“New Jersey’s corruption problem is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation,” said Ed Kahrer, who heads the FBI’s white-collar and public corruption division. “Corruption is a cancer that is destroying the core values of this state.”

Gov. Jon Corzine said: “The scale of corruption we’re seeing as this unfolds is simply outrageous and cannot be tolerated.”

Hours after FBI agents seized documents from his home and office, New Jersey Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria resigned. Federal officials would not say whether he would be charged. Doria did not return calls for comment.

The informant, whose name was not released, was the hinge between the two investigations. He gave prosecutors information about the money laundering operation, and later, at the direction of the FBI, drew on his background to go after politicians.

Barack Obama G20 Visit: President Has Beast Limousine Kitted Out With Rocket Grenades And Own Blood | UK News | Sky News.

Damien Pearse, Sky News Online

US President Barack Obama touches down in the UK tonight – ready to cruise the capital’s streets in a £250,000 rocket-grenade launching limo dubbed The Beast.

Mr Obama steps out of his presidential limo during a trip to Illinois

He lands with an entourage of 500 – including 200 secret service staff and a medical team carrying pints of his own blood type.

Mr Obama will use a plane, a helicopter and a limousine and be followed by a fleet of ambulances and decoy vehicles.

The £250,000 Beast is equipped with rocket-propelled grenades, a night-vision camera and pump-action shotguns to destroy would-be attackers.

Manholes in city roads have been bolted down, bins removed and British security snipers placed in tall buildings across the city.

The helicopter Marine One

The Beast’s titanium superstructure is capable of shielding the president from a chemical weapons attack. Its sealed interior forms an impregnable “panic room” if the vehicle is attacked.

The car contains a tear-gas cannon, oxygen tanks and bottles of the president’s AB blood. It can drive at speeds of more than 60mph with punctured tyres.

The five-inch rocket proof glass is so thick that Mr Obama needs fluorescent light to read in the darkness.

The president is due to touch down at Stansted airport at 8pm aboard the presidential aircraft Air Force One.

The Boeing 747-200B has its own gym and a presidential suite, complete with a small dining room.

Among officials on the flight will be a military officer carrying America’s nuclear missile launch codes. Should he need to, Mr Obama can launch a nuclear strike from the craft.

The plane – which can travel at speeds of 630mph – is fitted with armour-plated wings able to withstand a nuclear blast from the ground and flares to confuse enemy missiles. It has 85 telephones and 19 televisions.

From Stansted the president will be flown to the US ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park, London.

He arrives there in a VH-3D helicopter known as Marine One which will fly across London alongside a group of identical decoy aircraft.

While in London the president’s 200 secret servicemen will watch over him – conspicuous with their shirt-cuff radios, dark suits and Ray-Ban sunglasses.

President Obama can launch a nuclear strike from Air Force One

Also among the 500-strong entourage will be his 6ft 5in personal aide Reggie Love. Mr Love works out with the president and watches sport with him back at his hotel suite.

He will be trusted to keep the president supplied with gum – which he chews to beat his old cigarette habit.

A selection of iced teas will keep the president refreshed in his various modes of transport.

His wife Michelle will have eight of her own staff, including a secretary, a press officer and bodyguards.

Mr Obama will meet Gordon Brown one-to-one on Wednesday as well as holding meetings with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese president Hu Jintao.

He will also meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday afternoon in what is seen as the formal showpiece of the packed working schedule.

Security teams have swept venues the Obamas will visit for electronic bugs, food has been tested for poison and even the air quality has been measured for bacteria.

Security experts say the threat of an attack against Mr Obama is high.

Terror expert Professor Paul Wilkinson says his security team will be well aware of the president’s vulnerability in the UK.

“President Obama’s image in Europe and the UK is very favourable,” he told Sky News Online.

“People look to him as a great beacon of hope – that will be understood by his minders.”

“But among these people with good will to him there could be those whose plans are extremely nasty and malevolent.”

Fellow expert Dr Mark Yates said the biggest threat was from a suicide bomber or a lone hitman who did not form part of an organised group.

“The suicide bomb attack is the real threat – that would be a major coup for Islamic fundamentalists.

“The security will be massive, but one thing you learn is that there is no such thing as 100% security.”

This video is from World Bank – the most vampire like entity on this planet. they are the direct financial tool of the entire dark underworld; of the trilateralists and the bilderburgs.

we did not forget that President Obama had a special meeting with Mr. Kissinger. For those of you who don’t realize it; anytime Kissinger is involved it means war and most likely a prolonged military involvement somewhere. we think it’s time for America to reinvest in it’s Infastructure and It’s Domestic Budget, instead of pumpin dollars into the war pipeline, as though it really needs a transfusion.

our friends at Politicus Have a Really good article today on their take on this whole Financial Mess and the American War Ramp Up. I advise you to take a peep at it, because he hits it dead center. there can be no Peace without a commitment to stop funding war; and to instead Fund Peace.

the G20 is just another meeting of Vampires who are looking to suck the life out of our world. Can You Support This Bloody Plenary ? we don’t and we want you to know, because you should know.

This is all about Money Mechanics, from the US Federal Reserve.

• How is Money Made ?

you need to watch this movie if you can’t answer these simple questions. after watching, you’ll no doubt have plenty of questions for Your Elected Officials, so have a pen and paper handy

Now You Know.. so don’t just sit there – DO SOMETHING NOW

this is the long version of the explaination; with lots more facts and history. watch it when you have time, as it’s 45 minutes of pure fact.

Call us cynical or crazy – but we know a bad deal when we see one,
and this is a very veryyyy bad deal Mr.Obama.

Mr Holder Indict These Criminals NOW

Lock Em UP

WE Do Not need any more proof; These ARE War Criminals

Bush, Cheney, Condie, Laura and Karl to Write Books.

This is the eighth post in a series, posted on conjunction with Politicus.US on the subject of accountability of the Bush 43 administration and in support of Senator Patrick Leahy’s “commission of inquiry”. Links to our previous articles are at the bottom.

________________________________________________________________

If you have read our posts up to now and watched the videos, you must realize that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of their administration have a whole lot of explaining to do as far as 9/11, the lies leading up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, domestic spying, the firing of the U.S. Attorneys, the use of torture, the further deregulation of what they have the gall to call “our financial system” and a whole gamut of other issues.

It appears then that rather than having to explain their deeds in a court of law (let’s not lose hope here), the boys have decided to publish their memoirs in book form.

Bush’s book tentatively titled Decision Points, is scheduled for a 2010 release by Crown.

Instead of telling his life story, Bush will concentrate on about a dozen personal and presidential choices, from giving up drinking (that was probably a mistake, as maybe he wouldn’t have committed all of those errors, while in a drunken stupor) to picking Dick Cheney as his vice president to sending troops to Iraq. He will also write about his relationship with family members, including his father, his religious faith and his disgraceful response to Hurricane Katrina.

We know that George W. Bush has had an extensive experience with books. This photo from the morning of September 11, 2001 is a case in point.

Financial details were not disclosed, although publishers have openly expressed doubt that Bush would receive the $15 million Clinton got for his memoir, My Life.

There are even rumors, that Bush asked Dick Cheney to write the book for him. Andy Borowitz writes: “according to sources close to the former president, Mr. Cheney was his second choice to write the memoir after Mr. Bush was turned down by his first choice, author James Frey.

Known for his reluctance to acknowledge mistakes, Bush said the book would include self-criticism, “Absolutely, yes,” but cautioned that “hindsight is very easy” and that he would make sure readers could view events as he saw them.

“I want to recreate what it was like, for example, right after 9/11,” he said, “and have people understand the emotions I felt and what others around me felt at the time.”

Asked if he might write about the ouster of his first defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, or about his decision not to pardon Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, choices both openly disputed by Cheney, Bush said he didn’t know.

We suppose that if Cheney actually has anything to do with Bush’s book, those chapters may very well have the expected flavor.

Most top officials in the Bush administration, from Condie Rice to Karl Rove, have either completed their books or are in the midst of writing them. Dick Cheney has said he plans to pen a memoir and Laura Bush has a deal with Scribner.

Frankly, what could any of those books tell us that we already don’t know? Will they reveal the true events of 9/11, the “intelligence findings” about supposed WMD’s in Iraq, or how the administration has colluded with the Wall Street crooks? Those would be revelations of the first magnitude, but don’t expect to see any of them in any of these books.

Save your money and buy something actually worth reading and short of supporting Senator Patrick Leahy’s “commission of inquiry” and a much needed investigation by the Justice Department of the eight years of Bush’s and the neocons’ rule, we would much rather forget all of these distasteful characters and just wait for what history will really have to say about them.
