BP, of course, can simply ignore the order to ease off its use of chemical dispersants, just like it ignored rules and regulations about drilling for oil in the ocean in the first place. And that's the problem here: When corporations are allowed to run the show, they will inevitably take shortcuts that compromise the health of their customers or the environment.

I was amazed to see even the banked owned corporate media over at MSNBC reporting on something they have covered up for years… the real con-men of our financial crisis. Watch as Dylan Ratigan lays out the con to their dumbed down audience.

The highly suspicious Pentagon shooting, which has been used as grist for the establishment’s aggressive smear campaign to portray dissent against government as violent extremism, is beginning to bear the hallmarks of almost every other major case we have studied where the authorities have not only had prior knowledge of the plot but have in fact facilitated it from beginning to end.

Evidence is emerging that clearly indicates Abdulmutallab was more than just a Nigerian extremist carrying out his anger through an ill-conceived plot to ignite a powdery explosive substance on-board a flight to the United States. Eyewitness testimony pointing to a man helping the accused terrorist board without a passport, along with an unusual cameraman documenting the attempted attack on board the plane raise more than red flags– they point towards an intelligence operation, run as a drill, meant to conjure up public support for a number of fronts in the continuing ‘War on Terror.’

Jurors in Manhattan federal court recently heard a voicemail message from then-Senator Hillary Clinton to her former top fundraiser Norman Hsu, who has pled guilty to a $20 billion Ponzi scheme that involved misleading investors about his contacts with key Democratic leaders.
In the voicemail, Clinton was effusive in her praise of Hsu, suggesting she would win the Democratic presidential primary because he "single-handedly" would make it happen. Clinton said she had "lots of love" for him and that she had "never seen anybody who has been more loyal and more effective."

The U.S. Constitution was written to limit the power of government. Today, our government is out of control. Thank goodness our founding fathers understood full well the reality of throwing out the government, when it becomes a enemy to the people and our Constitution.

John McCain was on of the so-called Keating Five accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.

Here is part of an interesting editorial in The New York Times…
In three extraordinary reports delivered to Congress this week, Mr. Devaney, the department’s inspector general, found that officials at the Minerals Management Service — the division responsible for granting offshore oil leases and collecting royalties — accepted gifts, steered contracts to favored clients and engaged in drugs and sex with oil company employees as part of what he described as a broader “culture of substance abuse and promiscuity.”
