DC Heist - Wall Street Gang Hijacks Washington

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

This is the most succinct article I could find describing what is really happening to America today. It is a “bloodless coup” but the Fed is the real power behind Paulson.

‘Late, Great USA’ a New York Times best-seller by Jerome Corsi

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

This new book by Jerome Corsi shows how the NAU (North American Union) will destroy America’s sovereignty as we know it today. I believe that hidden behind innocent and innocuous sounding words like security, prosperity, partnership and economic incentives - there a tenacious plan to strip America of it’s freedom and leadership in the world.
Buried […]

SirotaBlog: Hillary Clinton has joined John Edwards in opposing a draft South Korean trade deal. She claims, “…the agreement would harm the U.S. automotive industry and put American jobs at risk.
