Preparing Haiti for Exploitation and Plunder - by Stephen Lendman Over 15 weeks post-quake, Haiti's imperial takeover is proceeding. It began straightaway after the calamity, Haitians victimized by denied aid, appalling repression, and now dispossession of their land, homes, and communities. More on that below. On April 16, The New York Times carried Reuters and AP reports stating Haiti's parliament approved the participation of foreign investors to rebuild the country, meaning, of course, seize, occupy, own, control, and colonize it for profit, using Haitians as exploited serfs. AP stated: "Haiti's soon-to-expire parliament has approved the creation of (an Interim ...
Costly IRS Mandate Slipped into Health Bill
Post Date: 2010-04-28 12:02:05 by DeaconBenjamin

Most people know about the individual mandate in the new health care bill, but the bill contained another mandate that could be far more costly. A few wording changes to the tax code’s section 6041 regarding 1099 reporting were slipped into the 2000-page health legislation. The changes will force millions of businesses to issue hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of additional IRS Form 1099s every year. It appears to be a costly, anti-business nightmare. Under current law, businesses are required to issue 1099s in a limited set of situations, such as when paying outside consultants. The health care bill includes a vast expansion in this information reporting requirement in an ...

Growing Public Anger in America - by Stephen Lendman The Pew Research Center (PRC) for the People & the Press is "an independent, non-partisan public opinion research organization that studies attitudes toward politics, the press and public policy issues." On April 18, it published a report titled, "Distrust, Discontent, Anger and Partisan Rancor," saying: "By almost every conceivable measure Americans are less positive and more critical of government these days." A new PRC survey confirms it, and why not under a "perfect storm of conditions" - a wrecked economy for millions fueling distrust and an "epic discontent with Congress and ...

In effect, the Declaration of Independence was a declaration of DIVORCE or dissolution of the relationship with King George for causes stated within the document. All democratic governments ideally operate with the consent of the governed. When one of these governments becomes tyrannical and most of them do the free people have a "duty" to throw off the tyranny and if they choose re-establish and re-institute a new government. Even if we Americans have somehow "consented" to be ruled over by the United States Government through an adhesion contract of some sort we are still entitled to a divorce for cause. There is no question that the last 100 years have witnessed an ...

MSNBC News Flash: Arizona Law 'Makes it a Crime to be Illegal Immigrant' By Kyle Drennen (Bio | Archive) Mon, 04/26/2010 - 16:53 ET During the Monday 12PM ET hour of live coverage on MSNBC, anchor Contessa Brewer described the "firestorm" over a newly passed immigration law in Arizona and fretted: "does this lead to a situation where neighbors are turning in neighbors or families turning against families?" Later in the segment, a headline on screen read: "Law Makes it a Crime to be Illegal Immigrant." Brewer discussed the issue with Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez and wondered: "Is this an effective way to deal with the problem?" In ...

No Great AwakeningThe Tea Parties and Whiteness By Jared Taylor This is the first in a series of articles on the question, raised most publicly by Patrick Buchanan, whether the Tea Party movement nurtures white consciousness and unity and will become the political basis for whites as a people. Unlike Pat Buchanan, I do not think the Tea Party movement marks the emergence of a new, white ethnonationalism. At the end of his recent article on the subject, Buchanan himself backs away from this prediction, conceding that the conflict that gave rise to the movement “is not so much racial as it is cultural, political and tribal.” The politicians Tea Partiers admire most are Sarah ...

Every time I make some passing reference in print to the tyrant Lincoln, as I did a few weeks ago, a fair number of readers insist on proving the dangers of letting unionized government functionaries "educate" our children. I believe we can confidently presume most who rail "Such a bizarre and outlandish statement proves what dangerous wackos Suprynowicz and his conservative pals are!" (I'm a libertarian; I've never claimed to be a "conservative") are government-school ex-inmates. I dare say they have read no legitimate scholarship on "Honest Abe" since hearing him praised decades ago in a room smelling of poster paints and waxed sawdust ...

Terrorizing Immigrants - by Stephen Lendman On April 20, Reuters headlined, "Arizona passes tough illegal immigration law," saying: State lawmakers "passed a controversial immigration bill on Monday (April 19) requiring police in the state (to) determine if people are in the United States illegally, a measure critics say is open to racial profiling." Called "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhood Act," the Arizona House and Senate passed it, sending it to Governor Jan Brewer who signed it on April 23 to make it Arizona law. The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) works for "a just immigration and refugee policy in the ...

Festering for Decades Paul Jacob Sunday, April 25, 2010 The latest Pew Research Center survey of public opinion shows that Americans trust their government even less than they did before. Apparently, nearly half of us think “the federal government threatens” our “personal rights and freedoms,” while almost a third considers the Feds a “major threat.” The body designed to represent the views of the American people — the U.S. Congress — has the approval of less than one in five of us. The Pew people dub the current political situation “a perfect storm of conditions associated with distrust of government — a dismal economy, an unhappy ...

WASHINGTON — In a move that may derail a comprehensive climate change and energy bill in the Senate, one of the measure’s central architects, Senator Lindsey Graham, has issued an angry protest over what he says are Democratic plans to give priority to a debate over immigration policy. Mr. Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said in a sharply worded letter on Saturday that he would no longer participate in negotiations on the energy bill, throwing its already cloudy prospects deeper into doubt. He had been working for months with Senators John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, and Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, on the a legislation, which they were scheduled ...

In mid February, 2010, I traveled to Florida to attend the criminal pre-trial conference in the Hirmer Case, 3:08-cr-79. I represented Mark and Claudia Hirmer. Pre-trial, two defendants plead guilty. Joseph McPhillips plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the IRS, conspiracy to commit wire fraud against the customers of Pinnicle Quest International, conspiracy to commit money laundering, several counts of wire fraud. Mark Lyon also plead guilty to several counts. Pre-trial, the government moved to dismiss the wire fraud counts against all defendants except Ellen Stubenhaus. She is currently in a Costa Rica jail resisting extradition. She has been in jail there for at least six months now. ...

The following is based off a speech given at the Palm Desert Tax Day Tea Party on April 15, 2010 There are a few core beliefs that guide me in everything I do as the founder of the Tenth Amendment Center Rights are not “granted” to us by the government – they are ours by our very nature, by our birthright. ALL just political authority is derived from the people – and government exists solely with our consent! We the people of the several states created the federal government – not the other way around! The Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that which has been delegated by the people to the federal government in the Constitution ...
Ariz. immigration debate pressures McCain

PHOENIX – Republican Sen. John McCain, who once championed a path to citizenship for the nation's roughly 12 million undocumented immigrants, is now pushing for a crackdown on illegals amid the toughest re-election fight of his career. McCain's hardline stance on immigration comes in the face of a credible GOP primary challenger, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, and the possibility that the party's 2008 presidential nominee could lose his Senate seat because many conservatives don't consider him one of their own. Engaged in a fierce contest with the tea party-backed Hayworth, McCain has moved to the right on numerous issues, including gay rights and climate change, and ...

Time magazine’s Joe Klein recently appeared on a Sunday news show where he accused Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin of "sedition" because of their criticisms of the Obama administration’s expenditure of trillions of dollars of corporate welfare in the form of bailouts; its Soviet-style nationalization of automobile, banking, student loan, and mortgage industries; its historically wild spending and borrowing binge; its forcing of socialized medicine down our throats in the face of overwhelming public opposition; and its plans to tax American capitalism into bankruptcy. Anyone who criticizes such things should be thrown into the Gulag, says Klein. Another talking head on the ...

Tennessee and Delaware, the first two states to win education funding through President Obama's $3 billion Race To the Top competition, were chosen through “arbitrary criteria” rather than through a scientific process, according to a new report by a non-partisan research institute. The report called, “Let’s Do the Numbers,” by William Peterson and Richard of the nonprofit, independent Washington D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute, says that the 500-point system created to decide the “best” proposals for education reform is based on false precision. In the first round Education Secretary Arne Duncan chose two winners from 16 finalists. Delaware ...

How much socialism, rounded to the nearest thousand, is suggested by this country’s new $100 bill? Today, Obama and pals Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke introduced a more colorful $100 bill that has two added security features, which include “a blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the note that contains images of bells and 100s, which move and change from one to the other as you tilt the note, according to joint release from the agencies. Another security feature is the ‘Bell in the Inkwell’ image that changes color from copper to green when the note is tilted, an effect that makes it appear and disappear within the inkwell,” according to The Wall Street ...

Clinton wrote for the Sunday April 18 New York Times that “there is a big difference between criticizing a policy or a politician and demonizing the government that guarantees our freedoms and the public servants who enforce our laws.... As we exercise the right to advocate our views, and as we animate our supporters, we must all assume responsibility for our words and actions before ...
