Hey, let's take a vacation and go down to Joe Vitale's
"Plantation
Harbor"
(with a little help from Mr.
Joe Walsh on guitar and producer for The Eagles Bill Szymczyk)
"The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control
things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians,
they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the
idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice.
You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the
important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long
since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses,
the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they
own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of
the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They
spend billions of dollars every year lobbying -- lobbying to get what
they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves
and less for everybody else."
~ George Carlin

Ross Perot -
remember him from the 90's elections when he went on TV holding charts
showing just how bad the economy
really was? Well,
he's done it again with a really good Flash presentation describing
just how deep we've sunk into the outhouse. It's at
Perot
Charts. Kudos, Mr. Perot :)

Pentagon investigators discovered
in August that a small South Carolina company fraudulently collected
$20.5
million in shipping costs, including one invoice of $999,798 for
sending
two washers (cost: 19 cents each) to a base in Texas. According to
Bloomberg
News, the Defense Department was said to have a policy of automatically
and
unquestioningly paying shipping bills labeled "priority." [Bloomberg

IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL
What is the truest definition of Globalization? Princess Diana's death,
and here’s
why: An English princess, with an Egyptian boyfriend, crashes in a
French tunnel in a
German car with a Dutch engine driven by a Belgian who was drunk on
Scottish whisky,
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles. She was
treated by an
American doctor using Brazilian medicines.
This was sent to me by an American using Bill Gate’s technology. You're
probably
reading it on your computer with Taiwanese chips and a Korean monitor
assembled by
Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant and transported by Indian
lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen and trucked
to you by
Mexican illegals!
That, my friends, is Globalization…
