that the cloture vote will be held at 4:30pm on Monday and then the discussion and debate will follow on Tuesday. Although Reid has to make one more phone call before that is finalized. Over and out. House business is now the economic stimulus package.

The only way for the US to stay relevant as a world power is for the Executive branch to obtain totalitarian powers over Congress. Passing this bill, which you so excellently demonstrate, will basically give the Executive and its law enforcement arm a free pass to gather evidence against US citizens. This, in turn, they will use to accuse some of us of "domestic" or "homegrown" terrorism, then label those people as "enemy combatants," who will then be sent to a nice housing facility that is presently being built by KBR.

Rockefeller has always been a key player in the dark underbelly of politics--this proves it.

I just got this from Edwards in my email:

"Dear Kristin,

When it comes to protecting the rule of law, words are not enough. We need action.

It's wrong for your government to spy on you. That's why I'm asking you to join me today in calling on Senate Democrats to filibuster revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that would give "retroactive immunity" to the giant telecom companies for their role in aiding George W. Bush's illegal eavesdropping on American citizens.

The Senate is debating this issue right now -- which is why we must act right now. You can call your Senators here:

Barbara Boxer, (D): (202) 224-3553

Dianne Feinstein, (D): (202) 224-3841

Granting retroactive immunity is wrong. It will let corporate law-breakers off the hook. It will hamstring efforts to learn the truth about Bush's illegal spying program. And it will flip on its head a core principle that has guided our nation since our founding: the belief that no one, no matter how well connected or what office they hold, is above the law.

But in Washington today, the telecom lobbyists have launched a full-court press for retroactive immunity. George Bush and Dick Cheney are doing everything in their power to ensure it passes. And too many Senate Democrats are ready to give the lobbyists and the Bush administration exactly what they want.

Please join me in calling on every Senate Democrat to do everything in their power -- including joining Senator Dodd's efforts to filibuster this legislation -- to stop retroactive immunity and stand up for the rule of law. The Constitution should not be for sale at any price.

Thank you for taking action.

John Edwards

I am very frightened about the retro active immunity and the freedom for six years this new law gives to permanently spy on all of us.

Where was Obama and Clinton today, where?

Has there ever been a more obvious example of an elected official completely under the paid influence of big business?

You're mistaken.

Jay Rockefeller is a Rockefeller. He's a member of the family.

He's a member of a small number of families whose long-term goal has been to rule the world by controlling money and commodities.

Federal Reserve monetary policy has been typically misrepresented as a series of ad hoc pragmatic responses to recurring crises in post-war banking and finance. The reality is that it has faithfully followed a coherent hidden thread of policy that was first laid out in 1973 by the spokesman then for America’s most powerful establishment family.

The policy was outlined in a little-noted book titled, ominously enough, “The Second American Revolution.” It was written by John D. Rockefeller III, scion of the powerful Standard Oil and Chase Manhattan Bank empire, and, along with his three brothers—David, Nelson and Laurance—architect of the world arrangement after 1945 known as the American Century.

In his book, Rockefeller declared the establishment’s determination to roll back concessions grudgingly granted by the wealthy and powerful during the Great Depression.

It gets worse the more you look at it.

The Illuminati's cash cow, grazing freely on the World wide pasture of greenbacks, isn't called "Elsie" but instead is called the Global Security Fund, aname actually meaning in the secret cult's language Global Terrorist Fund. In simple terms, it's a gigantic illegal trust fund, estimated by undercover overseas financial investigators at 65 trillion dollars, set-up for "Illuminati rainy days" and established when it is desperately needed in a pinch for bribery, assassinations and sponsoring World wide terrorist activities to divert attention from their banking mafia. Although the fund is cloaked in secrecy and made possible by the Western civilization' s Federal Reserve banking system, investigators trying to pry into the Illuminati's secret treasure trove have uncovered some interesting facts.

I have only one thing to say about all of this.

Save yourselves:

Save yourselves. Indeed. Hair raising summary there in your past post, and it really made me think: how do I save myself?

Then I remembered.

I hear the breeze outside, and the drip of the rain.

I hear my son playing guitar in his room.

I hear my old mother messing around in the kitchen, muttering to herself about the messy scamps she lives with.

I just had a warm cup of soup.

All I ever have is right now. Amazing to live one second. Thich Nhat Hanh said: the real miracle is not to walk on water. It is to walk on the earth.

Glad to be walking the earth with you strange characters. Save yourselves.

One of the best books I've ever read about the Rockefellers is "The Asassination of New York," by Robert Fitch. (Verso, 1993) In it, he outlines the long-term, systematic destruction of the port of New York and the formerly massive manufacturing base it supported. Naturally, the goal was to pump up bad real estate investments the family had made over the years, and get rid of "messy" industries and the good-paying union jobs they provided to New York's non-elites.

I would encourage you to check it out.
