This is a report by Christopher Story who refers to himself as "the editor". He puts out a magazine called "the Currency Review" whose subscribers are banks worldwide. When Obama was running for office his (Story's)sentiments were hopeful and supportive as documented in archives on his site. Now of course, with what we see with various appointments, for example arrested (retired? Ha!)Rubin's protege's Geitner and Orzag and the heavy infiltration of Zionists in our government, he has turned sour on him. I read about this "heist" two weeks ago and came in here today to see what was being said. Funny how he seems to know some things weeks before the masses learn about them. Haven't been on Investor's hub for a long time but see a familiar name here who always in the past seemingly played damage control in stock scams. Seems to me would be easy to verify Story's claim with a call to the Sheriff in Tyler. Why is there no quote available for this stock now?
HA HA HA You are soooo in the dark.
Hey Sox, don't think she's all there, if you get my drift.
You one of those "end times" nut's?
Republican Party IMPLODING!!!!!!!!!! The applause from the entire world,(except the end times gang) is deafening.
God sent her one.
This is a religious fanatic. She is lunacy personified. It's all about the RAPTURE, the fulfilling of God's Will, to destroy, to torture, to bring down unimaginable wrath on all HIS ENEMIES which of course just happens to be "others not in the LIGHT". This is a religious fanatic. The utter selfishness combined with emotional brainwash wants to disinherit children and grandchildren, all the generations to come of the incredible gift of life, of fulfillment of potentials. This is what we've had in the White House for eight years, wake up America, Bush even consults with these kooky church leaders to shape American policy to conform to the events prophesied in Revelations. If all you religious fanatics out there don't want to be in the world, if you want to be with Jesus, you can do that right now, step out in front of a car, take some poison, cut your wrists and join him. Why wait one more minute. What? You want the whole world to go with you? Why????
I find it ironic that the Republicans "used" the now defunct hurricane to demonstrate their newfound concern and compassion for victims of the hurricane. In fact they hoped to obscure the diminished attendance of their convention by the over emphasis of caring so so much about their fellow citizens. (Right, Rove, old boy?) This is the same party that has not done a damn thing for the American people except destroy their country. If the hurricane had been a week before or a week later they couldn't have "used it". Wonder how much they are going to have to spend filling those seats.
Wretched wretched evil sick bastard(s). Many many unsung heroes such as Hilton exposing what should be easily discernible to the unbiased eye and competent mind.
Traitors of a feather flock together. I am not surprised.
No, "But you can drink to them all the time". Hic!
Not hatred; BUT CONTEMPT AND ITS BEEN WELL EARNED!!
Republican religious fanatics do not possess the capacity - to think that is - and more than a few of their relatives here post examples of their own deficiencies eliciting a kind of pitiful awe and wonder.
Wonder if the RNC is letting Rep Vern Buchanan(Fl) into the Convention? Another fine upstanding citizen, god loving, family values, anti-abortion, sticky fingered, greedy and stupid crook Republican. They should let him be the one to nominate Sing Song for Pres.
Arctic becomes an island as ice melts
Telegraph Media Group
2008-09-01
The North Pole has become an island for the first time in human history as climate change has made it possible to circumnavigate the Arctic ice cap.
The historic development was revealed by satellite images taken last week showing that both the north-west and north-east passages have been opened by melting ice.
Prof Mark Serreze, a sea ice specialist at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) in the US said the images suggested the Arctic may have entered a "death spiral" caused by global warming.
Shipping companies are already planning to exploit the first simultaneous opening of the routes since the beginning of the last Ice Age 125,000 years ago. The Beluga Group in Germany says it will send the first ship through the north-east passage, around Russia, next year, cutting 4,000 miles off the voyage from Germany to Japan.
Meanwhile, Stephen Harper, Canada's Prime Minister, has announced that ships entering the north-west passage should first report to his government. The routes have previously opened at different times, with the western route opening last year, and the eastern route opening in 2005.
The satellite images gathered by Nasa show that the north-west passage opened last weekend and the final blockage on the east side of the ice cap, an area of sea ice stretching to Siberia, dissolved a few days later.
Last year the extent of sea ice in the Arctic reached a record low that could be surpassed in the next few weeks, with some scientists warning that the ice cap could soon vanish altogether during summer.
Four weeks ago tourists had to be evacuated from a park on Baffin Island because of flooding caused by melting glaciers, and polar bears have been spotted off Alaska trying to swim hundreds of miles to the retreating ice cap.
Measurements on August 26 showed an ice cap of just over two million square miles, confirming the second biggest ice cap melt since records began. New of the opening of the passages emerged as the British explorer and adventurer Lewis Gordon Pugh began a kayak expedition to the North Pole aimed at drawing attention to the dramatic impact of melting polar ice.
"I want to bring home to world leaders, on this expedition, the reality of what is now happening here in the Arctic," said the 38-year-old environmentalist in his blog.
"The rate of change is clearly faster than nearly all the models predict, which has huge implications for climate change and how to tackle it."
Meanwhile Prof James Lovelock, of the University of Oxford, has claimed "planet-scale engineering of the climate" may have to be attempted to counter global warming.

No, actually they discussed claiming the pregnancy as an "Immaculate Conception" via a horny end times angel. McCain felt for sure it would bring in an entire evangelical vote and the "made in six days" stupidoes and all anti-abortion women and women "wannabes". But he was short-sighted, all of Christendom would have turned out for them.
Good ole war hero "Sing Song McCain" appreciates your myopic vision.
Protesting is a dangerous exercising of rights in the U S of A.
I hope this quickly gets put away and is not used to distract away from the key issues concerning the Palin VP choice.
Don't be too sure of that. I smell a rat. I'm looking at a pic which had to be taken somewhere around 2005, it was posted here along with another a few days ago. The oldest girl is wearing a teal sweater and yes, she sure shows some weak abdominal muscles. The other pic was taken in 2007 and shows her wearing a brown dress and the same protruding muscles. Now: the age progression of the 2nd oldest daughter should testify to the amount of time elasped between the two pics and should call into question the whole matter. I am leaning now that this is a smear, one which may have been started outside the political arena. So if these two pictures are supposed to prove some damn thing they don't.
And you missed mine. I have not yet looked up the links (I think it was you) you provided me for investigating allegations swirling about Obama. A friend of mine today expressed his misgivings about certain associations so tomorrow, I'll take what you provided and spend some time with them and beyond. Peace to you and the world. Sleep well.
The basis for Christian dogma isn't considered true by most scholars. Sheesh! Is one flawed belief superior to another variation of the same?
I think the headline is asking you to think about the content of the article and decide for yourself. But you are a free man thus far and can choose to ignore the information.
None other than.
Would God pick on the impaired? Not!
How many months along is she in that pic?
It is not difficult in Washington to find high-level military officials who have had close encounters with John McCain's temper, and who find it worrisome. Politicians sometimes scream for effect, but the concern is that McCain has, at times, come across as out of control. It is difficult to find current or former officers willing to describe those encounters in detail on the record. That's because, by and large, those officers admire McCain. But that doesn't mean they want his finger on the proverbial button, and they are supporting Clinton or Obama instead.
"I like McCain. I respect McCain. But I am a little worried by his knee-jerk response factor," said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004 and is now campaigning for Clinton. "I think it is a little scary. I think this guy's first reactions are not necessarily the best reactions. I believe that he acts on impulse."
"I studied leadership for a long time during 32 years in the military," said retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, a one-time Republican who is supporting Obama. "It is all about character. Who can motivate willing followers? Who has the vision? Who can inspire people?" Gration asked. "I have tremendous respect for John McCain, but I would not follow him."
"One of the things the senior military would like to see when they go visit the president is a kind of consistency, a kind of reliability," explained retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, a former Republican, former chief of staff of the Air Force and former fighter pilot who flew 285 combat missions. McPeak said his perception is that Obama is "not that up when he is up and not that down when he is down. He is kind of a steady Eddie. This is a very important feature," McPeak said. On the other hand, he said, "McCain has got a reputation for being a little volatile." McPeak is campaigning for Obama.
Stephen Wayne, a political science professor at Georgetown who is studying the personalities of the presidential candidates, agrees McCain's temperament is of real concern. "The anger is there," Wayne said. If McCain is the one to answer the phone at 3 a.m., he said, "you worry about an initial emotive, less rational response."
"Satire", the endangered intellectual apprehension.
McCain's Temper May Become an Issue
By Scott Thomsen
Associated Press Writer
Sunday, Oct. 31, 1999; 6:38 p.m. EST
PHOENIX –– While rising in the GOP presidential polls, Sen. John McCain is facing questions about what some Arizona political leaders view as his quick temper – and whether it might hinder him as president.
In a front page article and separate editorial Sunday, The Arizona Republic said it wanted the nation to know about the "volcanic" temper McCain has unleashed on several top state officials.
Those who have been on the receiving end of a McCain uproar include Republican Gov. Jane Hull, former Republican Gov. Rose Mofford and former Democratic Mayor Paul Johnson of Phoenix.
Mrs. Hull, a supporter of GOP presidential front-runner George W. Bush, has acknowledged that her relationship with McCain has been cool and told an interviewer recently McCain "has to keep control" of his temper.
A Hull spokesman, Francie Noyes, said Sunday the governor had no further comment on the matter of McCain's temperament and that "she wants to move on to other things."
But the Arizona Republic, which endorsed McCain for each of his five congressional races but has not yet made an endorsement in the presidential race, was direct.
It declared in an editorial:
"If McCain is truly a serious contender for the presidency, it is time the rest of the nation learned about the John McCain we know in Arizona. There is also reason to seriously question whether he has the temperament, and the political approach and skills, we want in the next president of the United States."
McCain spokesman Dan Schnur said the criticism reflects McCain's emergence as a serious contender, resulting media scrutiny, and the fact that the former Vietnam POW "is a fighter and has always been a fighter."
"When a candidate moves up in the polls as quickly as John McCain has there's bound to be closer media scrutiny," Schnur said. "Show me a politician who's never offended anyone and I'll show you a politician who's pretty useless to his constituents."
Earlier in the week, McCain blamed the Bush campaign for helping plant recent temper stories and said the "hothead" portrayal was inaccurate.
"Do I insult anybody or fly off the handle or anything like that? No, I don't," insisted McCain.
Pam Johnson, executive editor of The Republic, said her paper's coverage decisions were made independently, not at the suggestion of anyone in the Bush campaign.
"A lot of the admirable qualities of Sen. McCain have been widely reported nationally. A lot of the temperament issues have not," said Johnson, who is in charge of the paper's editorial and news pages.
Even some of McCain's supporters acknowledge a short fuse, but say that should not disqualify him to be president.
"I think John McCain is as steady as they come. I've seen him get really passionate about issues, but I don't see it as losing control," said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz. He called McCain's passion refreshing.
State Superintendent Lisa Graham Keegan, who also is a McCain supporter, said she has argued heatedly with McCain many times over the years but that his "passion ... is positive."
"I'm not looking for someone who serves tea in white gloves. That's not attractive in a president," said Keegan, describing McCain as a calm, affable person, but one ready to jump into a fray.
In the past week, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times also have published articles documenting McCain's often testy relationships in his home state.
Mrs. Hull told the Times that McCain's temper "is something that John has to keep control of." According to the Times, when Mrs. Hull was asked to describe McCain's temper she pretended to hold a telephone receiver several inches from her ear.
In Washington, McCain has kept his temper under control, publicly at least. He showed restraint during Senate floor debate on campaign finance reform – one of his priority issues – when Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., tried to goad him into losing his temper.
Larry Sabato, a political science professor the University of Virginia, said McCain's temper is a legitimate subject for questions, but noted a number of president have had fiery tempers.
Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were famous for having bad tempers. Since his election, current President Bill Clinton has become known for having one also.
"It's not disqualifying because so many presidents have had bad tempers, but it's important to know about," Sabato said. "You want to know what the fundamental character of a candidate for president is."
McCain's temper could be presented in a good light or bad, Sabato said. Supporters can say McCain listens to the people not politicians, while critics may charge that he can't work with others, he said.

Wrong buddy, I have taken as close a look as the powers that be have allowed.
Yes, it is. The biggest thing in my mind right now is the pulling of pictures and for what reason. We Americans had better be asking, who has the authority to pull information and how much more is being pulled on a daily basis. Why does our government fear its citizens?
You don't give a crap about the country in my opinion just your little tiny overwhelmed identity. If your party doesn't have anyone that could bring experience and integrity to the VP other than a Hockey Mom who became mayor of 9,000, then stepping through a perfect storm to Gov (forget the investigation, I'm not concerned about that) and whose knowledge of issues was found to be lacking during her run for Gov, then that's sad, really sad and we should all be taken aback by it. And I think that is really what has been shocking here, that we have reached the point where your party does not care who the Presidency gets handed over to, having more confidence and concern for their "agendas" than the overall well-being of America.
The pulling of pictures was not wise in my opinion. As for mono and the length of time. My son came down with it in the month of May, he was quite ill, in bed, intense sweating, fever, the sheets were changed several times a day and this went on for almost three weeks. The disease left him very weakened. He went to college the following Sept and by December he had the disease come back on him which is not uncommon. So the length of time dealing with this varies greatly.
Rest assured many surrounding states have called up their National Guards and await Gus's landing. While I agree with some of your sentiments there was no excuse not to have been able to drop tons of the most basic need which was water. No?
Regarding your posts this morning. Thx for the report from St. Louis. I feel the need to say regarding the Palin subject that it is only one of many subjects that tends to raise the ire among those of us who are really sensitive to LIES. That is right. LIES. Whether they fall on the plates of Dem's or Rep's or Independents is irrelevant. Those who step into public scrutiny unfortunately are always fair game to elements in that public eye whose motives are far from clean but America still proclaims or at least gives lip service to freedom of speech and if we are to keep that freedom viable and worthwhile we must learn on our own how to discern truth from fabrication. There is a poster here who skillfully posts jaded innuendos into facts to the point of losing all credibility and from whom I will not ever bother to research anything this person says. He is no stranger to outrageous muckraking. But then I come here to read, to learn, to see if something has hit the news I've missed, I come here to laugh from cleverly worded discourse. There are many many really bright posters and then there are some who are not and here for the wrong reasons. I am responsible for knowing the difference.
Several states are sending their national guards, including Illinois. Could be a Cat 5, we are watching very closely here along Fl coast, last I heard it was picking up speed, it's an extremely large and potent storm. I'm in Pinellas Park and the winds are already picking up here.
Well, thanks for sending. She is a really sweet looking kid and yes, it looks as if beginning the second trimester here. But it befuddles me why if it were being hidden would she have been positioned on the end where she is so openly displayed. You know, I really feel sorry this happened and is now a wildfire, sorry for the daughter. Of course this can be played with a certain note of nobility for the mother if necessary and let the lie be damned.
