  Remember the investigation, made under oath, when the jowly tobacco executives all raised their hands and swore they didn’t know that nicotine was addictive? At any time when huge sums of money are based on bad accounting, lies about product safety, or public health, you can bet that the fat executives in charge will lie like troopers to save their vast income. Why would we be surprised that the oil people think that 24 billion dollars profit is their just reward for being able to contibute to Bush and other Republicans, and that this entitles them to do anything they damn well please to the public? When have Bush and Company ever done anything to curb excess profits? When have Bush and Company ever stopped lowering product standards, safety regulations, or accounting procedures because it was in the public interest? Remember how Bush lowered environmental regulations, but made up for pollution by calling it "Clean Air" or "Clean Water?" Surely that is enough to ensure safety. The same is true of his lies about stampeding the nation into war, about torture and abuse, about Katrina, and a hundred other failtures. It is much easier to lie than to remedy some fault! Much cheaper! And when Senators benefit with massive contributions they seem to be able to sell their democracy, a dollar at a time.

    The interesting thing about this is the Democrats. If the Washington Post can get the truth about who was at these secret meetings with Cheney, then why can’t the Democrats get the truth until it is in the Washington post or the NY Times. I find this extrodinary. It seems like every time there is an investigation of the criminal dealings with this administration, the Democrats have not done their homework, and later when the facts surface in the media, they throw their hands in the air and act so surprised to find out the facts about their investigation that is long since over....I smell a rat.

  Corporate America, especially “Big Business” is involved in major Fraud and very wide Political Corruption. They also have direct links to Mob Organizations, I know because I was in a family for more than 26 years who are part of this. How else could Big Business maintain their profit positions all these years? However, there is something else far more important that needs to be looked at:

  The current scandal(s) are linked to many others. They are all part of a huge Criminal Organization that involves:

  Three Main Criminal System areas:
  – Very Large Wide Scale Political Corruption
  – International Drug Distribution
  – Very Large Scale Fraud.

  Who’s Involved:
  – The Mob
  – Corrupt Politicians (Top of Federal Area down to Independent Towns)
  – Corrupt Military/Pentagon
  – Corrupt Corporate America

  I have a personal life experience and there are others like me with experience in this system. Please read the following website:

  Current news has been nibbling away at this and it’s escalating. The big picture is starting to materialize but the news isn’t linking it all together yet. For me, this has been most interesting to see how long it takes! So far, no one has put it together.

  The news is doing well to prepare everyone, however it is complex and difficult to accept. Readers should be advised to have an open mind that a major sized picture is still needed to be understood. Believe me, this is only the tip of the iceberg!

  The Corruption/Fraud part extends beyond our shores and involves direct links to the Mob and is linked with those involved from the top of our political structure, corporate structure and Military structure to all the way to the bottom. They are well organized with communication links throughout to monitor and control our ignorance and surface who may be their latest threat.

  The ongoing corruption is worse than your worst nightmare. As an example, my home town is Northbrook, IL and corruption here includes members of the Police Department all the way up through the Town Administration. My ex-brother-in-law lives there also and through his membership connection with Organized Crime has committed many murders plus much more. I personally know he has direct connections with corrupt Town officials and Police personal. The connections that allow for setups to steal and harm others will astonish you. I’m in the process of writing more posts to expand what this is, please stay tuned…..

    Congress is only interested in putting someone under oath if they are a Democratic President named Clinton, and the subject of the questioning is a blow job.....the public needs to know these important things, and the public does definitely not need to know about the behind closed doors secret meetings with the oil barons and Dick Chicanery.......after all it only costs the citizens some 24 billion dollars in 3 months, whereas, that blow job thing that didn’t cost them a cent is really much more important.
