Hello? Anybody here?

I'm here.

Yaaayyy!

Brad, you going to have anything from your debate with you and Stick Figure Junk totting Ann Coltter?

oops, Coulter

We coming in loud and clear out there?

Thank you for airing part of the National Summit to Save Our Elections! I helped organize the conference but could not attend due to a family obligation. I have been sooo curious to know how it is going. I'd appreciate any feedback from people who attended the conference!

Thanks,
Betsy

Brad is coming in loud & clear!

I was listening to the Brad/Ann debate for a while & then it went silent. I'm hoping I can hear it later.

Sorry Colleen, was getting more...um, ice.

Coming in loud and clear Brad.

Hi Nana, Winter et al. Ibc said server full, so I went to KPFX. Sounds great, Brad.

Hey Brad and everybody, please listen up! Doug Wallace has filed a lawsuit against Bush, Cheney, et al for suspending the Constitution of the United States of America and implementing instead the PNAC whitepaper "Rebuilding America's Defenses" for the Iraq War. These treasonous actions based on lies by the Bush Administration has caused tens of thousands of needless deaths and even more injuries and permanent maimings of men, women, and children alike . Doug Wallace is requesting donations to pursue his lawsuit on behalf of all Americans who had enuf of the PNAC Neocons. Please send any donations to :

Is the show on? I can't get onto IBC.

I can't find it on KPFX. Where do you link? "Listen" just gives me some Houston show and I can't find Brad elsewhere.

#11 Yank Had Enuf,
Wow, that's one lawsuit I hope gains alot of traction. Thank you for that news!

I'm gonna re-post a comment I posted on the "Katrina Wilcox Interview with Brad" thread...because it's my two-cents-worth analogy of what happened (what is STILL happening...or I should say NOT happening) with regard to our SUPPOSEDLY SO SACROSANCT election process!!! Forgive me this little conceit...it just seems so simple & OBVIOUS to anyone with a brain!
For what it's worth:

NuclearChemist,
You wrote:
"I have yet to see any facts that proves fraud was committed."
Comments like this, often demanding to know "Where's the proof?", were heard immediately after election '04, which struck me as decidedly odd.

Here's a question for you, Nuclear.

If a neighbor came to you & said "Please call the police, my wife was just assaulted!", would you say:

A. "Oh my God, that's terrible! Yes, let's call the police!"
...in which case the police would come, conduct interviews, examine the evidence, do all the things police do to try & determine if an assault actually took place; or would you say:

B. "Don't be ridiculous! That's impossible! How dare you suggest such a thing?! Where's your proof?!"

...in which case you could continue to berate your neighbor, calling him a conspirator and a fool, and, a year later, could say to him, his distraught wife & their concerned friends: "Gee, folks, I have yet to see any facts that prove an assault was committed."

Our government chose B.

And it continues to stand by that incomprehensible choice, even though the victim was the country they claim to love.

But hey, what do I know? I'm one of those crazy lefties.'

Blogs rule! Democracy is at stake!
I believe that the 2000 Florida election fraud would not have stuck if it had happened now.
I was not aware then either.

Arry #12,
I think if you click on the picture next to Brad's picture that says "The Brad Show" that should take you to the streaming.

I'm using the Windows Media to play ibcrn2, i just click them all until i hear Brad. Wish i knew more to tell you, Arry.

John Gideon--I live in a county in Iowa that has no stop light. I pull a lever to vote, and would gladly use a pencil. NO COMPUTERS!

Joan

Re. 14 Love it! So obvious it is maddening.

Yank: Great job, we need to start a television station too and start spreading the news just virtually EVERYWHERE.

The RICO lawsuit against Ashcroft in New York has won, and Ashcroft is going to be forced to TESTIFY along with the FBI before the citizens of NEW YORK!!!!!

Its time to CRUMBLE that stonewall to pieces, how many legal avenues and RIOTS can we basically go after in order to throw Diebold out once and for all and bring balanced voting??? And THEN force them to be deposed?

GET A MOVE ON!

Doug

Arry

Were you able to find the station or connection?

I lost mine several times and had to reconnect.

Hey guys: I don't know if this will work, but if you still can't hear the show, you might want to click here

Thanks Winter Patriot!

Doug E, check your local listing and see if you can get Democracy Now. It's independant and very good TV program, Amy Goodman is the reporter.

Nana --- No luck. I still don't know where to find the Brad Show on KPFX, and IBC fails to connect each time.

WP's link gets me to the conference, which is very interesting, but not to Brad's Show (I think). Well, I'll listen for awhile. Somebody talking about Brad right now. (Maybe this is the Brad Show?)

Here's Brad.

That KPFX link is MUCH better! Thanks, WP!!

Bob, Your column "The Silent Scream of Numbers" was my OK-They get it moment. Wrong.

Please read Bob Koehler's Citizens In The Rain

I'm glad you found it Arry. I know how frustrating it can be!

Hi all,
The word that the msm should use is IGNORMATION, as opposed to information

Been listening to Brad & Bob Koehler....

Boy, I'm tellin' ya...the 'gods that be' had better shower freakin' truckloads of blessings on these two guys!!!
And on all the other good warriors out there!!

Gee, Brad's starting the Bradblog was Desi's idea??
THANK YOU, DESI!!!!!

See, there's truth to that old adage "Behind every good man is a good woman"!! (or whatever that old adage is, hahaha!!)

The Internet-Blogs-BradBlog-Desi.
The new revolution.
Promote the truth!!

Arry #19,
Are you there yet?? Maybe try going to rawradio.com?? I wish I could be more helpful!!
Nana, thanks for the kind words!

Oh sorry, Arry! #19 wasn't you. (sheesh, Joan)

But to Doug, who said
"The RICO lawsuit against Ashcroft in New York has won, and Ashcroft is going to be forced to TESTIFY along with the FBI before the citizens of NEW YORK!!!!!"

WOW!! Thanks for THAT good news!!!

In case you missed it, here's a link to the Oregon Voter Rights Coalition

Yeh, I got it. Thanks all.

Nana: Democracy Now is good and all but why don't we have television stations that can be carried on ANY network provider!?!??

You have to get SATELLITE to get Democracy Now!

Why in the hell can't we force programs like Current TV and IWT Independent World Television to be carried on every single local to cable package?!???

That's what has to happen, lets get channels out there sending the blaring message like RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Doug E.

What a great show! I'm afraid to move and miss a word! Right Joan, we all owe thanks to Desi, i didn't know how Brad started this blog.

It strikes me as a bit strange that there are still so few comments on this thread, three hours after it started. Personally, I have found the show so interesting that I have found it difficult to think of anything to add to it. And I do hope this sentiment is as widespread as I think it might be. So thanks to all who are listening, even if you're not typing!

WP --- The link worked. Thanks.

Desi ... yes, we all owe a big THANK YOU to Desi!

so ... THANKS, DESI !

to Arry, Nana, Peg, others: you're welcome!

Agreed, Doug E #39! We have satellite, but how comparatively few people can...one needs "a clear view of the southern sky" and all that.

WP --- I can't really comment and listen concurrently with my slow connection. It buffers like crazy when I send a message and takes forever to catch up.

Got on late, but it is very interesting.

Yeah! I agree Doug E, lets do it! Everybody should have access to the truth.

Here's another good link you might have missed: Voter Action dot Org ... and a reminder from Holly Jacobsen: they only need two things: money and money!

WP #37 -

Can't post too often because of buffering interruptions - dial-up and all that (*sigh*).

Peg, Arry: my advice, for what it may be worth: Don't worry about commenting ... just listen!

Here's Kip Humphrey from Election Assessment dot Org

For those of you who were in DC last weekend did you see this?

Biohazard Sensors Triggered
Mall Germ Levels Likely Not a Threat
Saturday, October 1, 2005; B01

"... health officials said they believed the levels were too low to be a threat....tularemia, the disease that is caused by the bacteria. ...Health officials said the usual incubation period for tularemia is less than a week. ...Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle ache, joint pain, dry cough and conjunctivitis. ...The disease is treatable with antibiotics but, if left untreated, can be fatal..... Authorities recommend that people who visited the Mall between 10 a.m. Sept. 24 and 10 a.m. Sept. 25 should see a physician if they experience symptoms."But he said it was puzzling that the finding was from a day when the Mall was packed with people.

..."Why that day? That's what is not explained," Pane said. "It was just this 24-hour period and none since."

The germ that causes tularemia is considered a biohazard because it is highly infectious and was tested in the 1960s by the United States as a biological weapon. The disease is treatable with antibiotics but, if left untreated, can be fatal.

# # #

more info on tularemia:

Q. Why are we concerned about tularemia being used as a bioweapon?
A. Francisella tularensis is highly infectious. A small number of bacteria (10-50 organisms) can cause disease. If Francisella tularensis were used as a bioweapon, the bacteria would likely be made airborne so they could be inhaled. People who inhale the bacteria can experience severe respiratory illness, including life-threatening pneumonia and systemic infection, if they are not treated.

Q. How quickly would someone become sick if he or she were exposed to tularemia bacteria?
A. The incubation period (the time from being exposed to becoming ill) for tularemia is typically 3 to 5 days, but can range from 1 to 14 days.

Hi
I am listening. My son is here. Shipping to Fort Shelby Oct 7. Then to Iraq . So I'm lurking.

I'm all up for ideas on how to get it started. For instance the most common cable provider Comcast, we should be able to write enough letters/call them enough that they can carry affiliate stations like IWT on their package.

But what about corporate stooges like AT&T? Will they EVER carry Current TV, IWT etc. without public backlash?? I'd say its time to find out!

Doug

Too busy putting together tonight's show on the fly to participate as much as I'd like on the blog! But you guys are great! Thanks! And I've passed on all those thoughts to Desi in particular!

"BRAD BLOG 6 or 7 Squad!" That's for ya'll!

Hey all --- I'm listening intently. Great, great show.

Jen - that's a scary thought. I was in DC --- I'm not exactly sure where the "mall" is. I was all over the march route, though :p

Well - I've got 7 days to go - so far so good.

Colleen, give him a big hug and thank you, from me.

Jen, interesting, i'm going to read more about it. Good that it responds very well to antibiotics. I think it's called 'rabbit fever'.

Darn - I've had some cutting out here ... dead air again. When's the mp3 going to be put up?

Brad --- YOU ARE GREAT!!! I wish I was there.

Great l-o-o-o-o-o-p!

Hey Kira, i'm having the same problem, i just keep reconnecting.

If y'care! Woo-hoo!

I don't know what it is Nana ... like a broken record.

Okay! We Care! Is anyone else getting this repetition on the broadcast?

GREAT show, Brad!!! Thanks so much for all you're doing. And thanks to Desi, too!

Guess I'm not the only one.

I've been kicked out too, so don't take it personally ...

but in the meantime ...

Thanks very much to BRAD and to the WHOLE CREW and to all the GUESTS and all the LISTENERS ...

And please keep an eye on The BRAD BLOG for news regarding future shows!

I finally cut it off ... is anybody still listening?

LOL Steve, hi!, oh yes, me too. Used to have a record player that did this, just thump it!

For a cheerful li'l synopsis of various GOP scandals breaking or pending, check out this piece:

The GOP's Spreading Plague
By Joe Conason

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/100105D.shtml

THANK YOU FOR A TERRIFIC SHOW, BRAD & FRIENDS!!!

Kira #64-
Just those of us who still care!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CARE! I REALLY DO!!!!

What did Brad say about Cheney? I missed most of it.

Great job Brad, you are one of the best at getting the point across (never a dull moment) , rock on dude!

One last thought for y'all...

Randi Rhodes said yesterday that bush has pardoned about 14 people (just recently I think)...not too unusual, except that several were for various drug-related offenses, involving the selling of pot, cocaine, quaaludes, & alcohol, and one was a bomber!
Just a bit more weirdness from Bush's BizarroWorld.

Ok, I just got a phone call from a friend who was also in DC for the protest and she's been sick since she got back. Some of her symptoms are consistent with this tulemia disease. I'm going to see a doctor & get checked out & so is she.
Anybody who was there, I think it's a good idea to do that.
Even though the article said that "... health officials said they believed the levels were too low to be a threat...", I think I'd rather err on the safe side. It also said it could be fatal if left untreated.

Thank you for that, Jen!

Hey Doug E , I thought they were going to do IWT on the internet or something like that, but how, video clips, or live news show. but how? I have broadband internet, so I guess IWT would work better on that than dial-up? Don't know the techie answers, do you, about IWT that is? Are they off the ground floor yet? How about Oprah, she owns her own production company Harpo, so why doesn't she get in on the real news and go cable, could we convince her to leave small talk behind and get with the real times to save us from this neoconism fascist rule? Oprah has a HUGE audience and she would reach the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time. How about some more documentary movies about this PNAC cabal, from Michael Moore and Robert Redford at Sundance ? HEY SPREAD the word, "Hijacking Catastrophe" is coming to theatres SOON> great documentary names and explains PNAC, so look for it and BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO IT.

http://www.hijackingcatastrophe.org/

Jay Leno and Dave Letterman try their best, but they don't want to be forced to go cable like Bill Maher had to. And Conan O'Brien, omigosh, he had John McCain on one nite and I thought I was going to PUKE ! Doesn't Conan know better, someone has to explain it to him I guess.

Doug E, GREAT NEWS ABOUT RICO & ASHCROFT , Thanks!!!

They better do something about it, that's all I can say!!!!

We need to pile it on them, and start forcing these stations to carry the NEW news channels!!!!!!

Doug

Thanks guys! Gotta get out of the choir room!

ReBRADCast tomorrow if you missed anything at 12noon ET (9am PT).

And I'm told we'll have the complete Coulter vs Brad file up shortly!

G'Night from Portland!

#73 Yank,
Those are all great ideas! Why DON'T 6 or 7 of us try contacting Oprah & Robert Redford & Michael Moore?

Especially Oprah, who I agree has an enormous audience. She's GOTTA be outraged about Katrina. I wonder if she's aware of the Bradblog?

"Highjacking Catastrophe" sounds like something to see, will spread the word about that. Thank you!

Goodnight all, thanks & sweet dreams!

Thank you for that link, Yank - It will be shown near me in 2 weeks. I'll be there.

I agree, Joan. I've been wanting Oprah & others to be more active. A real head scratcher.

6 or 7 of us can make a lot of noise!

Hoo boy......Talk about Culture of "Corruption"!!!!

"Family connections have also helped Rep. Blunt’s son, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, who received campaign contributions from nearly three dozen influential Missouri lobbyists and lawyers when he ran for governor of Missouri in 2004, half of whom had provided financial support to his father.

Rep. Blunt and his staff have close connections to uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is the subject of criminal and congressional probes. In June 2003, Mr. Abramoff persuaded Majority Leader Tom DeLay to organize a letter, co-signed by Speaker Hastert, Whip Roy Blunt, and Deputy Whip Eric Cantor, that endorsed a view of gambling law benefitting Mr. Abramoff’s client, the Louisiana Coushatta, by blocking gambling competition by another tribe. Mr. Abramoff has donated $8,500 to Rep. Blunt’s leadership PAC, Rely on Your Beliefs."

http://www.beyonddelay.o...delay/rep_roy_blunt_r_mo

"This second case suggests that the funneling of large amounts of money through national committees to bypass state campaign-finance laws may be more widespread, raising questions about whether federal officials have monitored such transfers as closely as is now being done by a Texas prosecutor in the DeLay case, according to watchdog groups.

''It is similar" to the DeLay case, said Melanie Sloan, director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, arguing that that donation's purpose, as in the DeLay case, was to bypass state laws."
LINK

Mother of pearl these guys are so corrupt its RAINING from the sky!!!!! Matt Blunt is Tom Delay, is Jack Abramoff is Roy Blunt, Bob Ney, Michael Chertoff, and the ENTIRE THING equals the biggest culture of corruption you've ever seen!!!!!!!

HOW BIG OF A PRISON DO WE NEED!?!?!!!

Doug E.

Hey Joan, I tried to email Oprah and Michael Moore, even attached the PNAC links to my email, and got their standard reply emails. I have a feeling Moore already knows about PNAC, maybe he just needs the funding to get another documentary off the ground. That's a great idea about 6 or 7 of us getting their attention, that's what it will probably take to convince them public needs them because journalists have abandoned us. I think Express Mail or Fedex is the only thing that will get to them personally though. We want it to get right in their hands and bypass the office folks , so that Oprah and MM and RR will read it, not their office managers. Robert Redford, I hope we can open his eyes, Paul Newman is also into social justice, its just a matter of convincing them the urgency to get the word out to the public. Go see Hijacking Catastrophe, it answers a lot of Fahrenheit 9/11's unanswered questions. Those two movies should be shown back to back in theatres for public to get the whole picture of what the heck is really going on with Bushco. Thanks for listening, g'nite Joan and all !

PS Just one more thing , found a link of a video clip of Hijacking Catastrophe:

http://www.informationcl...use.info/article6893.htm

'nite

OT from Wayne Madsen

When submarines are trying to detect the presence, through the use of sonar, of trailing enemy subs, they use a process called "clearing the baffles." The submarine turns at least 120 degrees in either direction to detect potential trailing adversaries. The top leadership of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement also "cleared the baffles" prior to the 911 terrorist attacks --- and any intelligence and law enforcement officer detected, either directly or peripherally, trailing the network we now reflexively call "Al Qaeda," was systematically removed from their duties.

Doug E. - "HOW BIG OF A PRISON DO WE NEED!?!?!!!"

Looks like we'll need a HUGE one. Wondering how long it will take them to link all the facts. 2 + 2 = Bush/Cheney and all political whores, both parties. What I'm wondering is what jail will they all go to?

Joan - damn, I sure hope your friend gets better quickly and that you don't have any symptoms too. I found a story about it on whatreallyhappened.com and was coming here to post about it, when I saw your post. Is your friend the ONLY one known sick so far? Holy shit, no wonder why all the political whores left town last weekend!! Sure hope you stay healthy Joan, and ALL you guys who were there! I'm so proud of you guys.

#26 - WP, great article, thank you. I honestly believe in what they said about media reform. We can't take back this country until they are on board. I completely agree with their assessment of the media's silence being the major cause of our downfall.

Thank you, Brad, for being our news source. Also, thank you to Rep Conyers, for trying to help, and getting the news out.

The deer are caught in the headlights. It's up to us to keep the lights on, before more war is started and more aspects of our constitution are destroyed. If we alter the lights, they will scurry away untouched. I fear that most.

# 78 Kira I hope you do get to see Hijacking Catastrophe! Just realized the copyright of their website is 2004, so I hope those are 2005 movie times and dates , not last year's!

Just in case, you can donate to TVNewsLies minimum of $20 to purchase DVD (that's what I did and I share it with others so word about PNAC gets around) Watch retired Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski's extended interview by clicking on Special Features of this DVD if you buy it> she is the whistleblower that saw the whole Iraqui plot being propagandized and based on lies in Cheney's "Office of Special Plans" in the Pentagon.

Bush directly linked to PlameGate...?

Check it out.

From "ThinkProgress:

Bush directly involved

Nice.

Actually, Yank, I have to laugh at myself! I had sent the link to the video clip of Hijacking Catastrophe (which sounded sooo familiar to me) a while back to jPentz who then posted it on her website www.reallynews.com. There's so much coming out every day I think I've forgotten more than a lot of people know about this stuff!! We have to keep posting the stuff because people are still learning or just coming around.

I learned about PNAC over a year ago & began piecing together (to borrow a phrase) What Really Happened. I haven't seen the video (Hijacking Catastrophe) but want to see it. Has it been aired on Free Speech TV or other programs only found on Satellite TV? Damn I hate this suppression.

Thanks for the link to the full video! (And thanks for the REMINDER!!!!)

Quote from your link GreyHawk #87:

"As Stephanopoulos notes, if Bush played a direct role it could make this scandal completely unmanageable."

!!!!! We certainly hope so!!!! Impeachment Time!!!

Am now listening to last nite's reBradcast. David Cobb referred to all the irregularities in Ohio last year and mentioned the long voter lines which reminded me of something I've recently read from the ACVR site. Would like to get comments on some testimony by one William Anthony (part A - scroll down to paragraphs 4 - 7). Do we write him off as another Kenneth Blackwell (albeit democratic)? Was his county perhaps "showcased" to illustrate equal-opportunity-aggravation? Hope some of you can take time to read to read the graphs and comment. I wasn't able several days ago to find any dirt on Mr. Anthony.

I was at the DC demonstration last Sat. I started feeling exhausted by Monday. Wed I had to come home early from work and havn't been back. I have some of the symptoms of this tularemia. Why did they wait a WEEK to get this information out?!!! It is treatable by antibiotics but, not if treated, can be fatal in 5-15% of the cases. I wouldn't have heard about it had my son, who lives in the DC area, not called me last night when he saw it on the news. I have heard NOTHING about it on the news, only that article posted from the Washington Post. Does anyone else out there have flu-like symptoms?

I was at the march in DC last weekend. I started feeling tired by Monday and had to leave work early on Wed and haven't been back since. I've had flu like symptoms. Last night, my son, who lives in the DC area, called and told me about the news report of all of us being exposed to tularemia, which is treatable by antibiotics, but if not treated, could result in death. It took them a WEEK to report it?!!! This is our Homeland 'Security'?!! There were babies there for crying out loud. Has anyone else developed symptoms? I'm getting tested tomorrow. We need to scream loud and hard about this, there is no excuse for holding this information for a week.

WTF
More than a half-dozen sensors operating from 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday --- at sites including the Lincoln Memorial, Fort McNair and Judiciary Square --- detected the bacteria, Pane said he was told.

He said the CDC expected to notify hospitals nationwide as a precaution because so many people came from out of town to the Mall last weekend.

Similarly, he said, he expected area health officials to watch for symptoms into next week.

Authorities recommend that people who visited the Mall between 10 a.m. Sept. 24 and 10 a.m. Sept. 25 should see a physician if they experience symptoms.

I mentioned the CDC warning about tularemia in DC to someone today and she said "Oh, another conspiracy theory!" *sigh*

#84 Concerned,
Thanks, I really seem to be fine, but I'll go & have a blood test (or whatever) just to be safe. I'd be crazy not to, I think.
Hey, Chrissy! I hope you're feeling better but I also hope you see a doctor very soon.
I know they said the levels found were low & don't pose a health threat...but I'd rather not WE become the exceptions to that!

It's probably nothing.

But gee, it's just that our government has such a STELLAR record for truth-telling & the accurate assessment of things!!
I dunno, somehow their assurances leave me JUST A TAD skeptical, hahaha!

JOAN "I know they said the levels found were low & don't pose a health threat"

ONLY 10-50 organisms will cause infection, what's the threshold for "detection" by the sensors?

Chrissy,

I saw that news article about the disease detection at the DC march as well. I emailed it to John Aravosis at AmericaBlog because I know he lives there and thought he might want to know about it.

I think it's a much bigger deal than most people think for this reason: What if there had in fact been a BIOattack that day, what good are "Air Samplers" if they don't help people on the ground in real time?

I think this is a HUGE story that for some reason is getting almost zero coverage. Afterall, this is a post 9/11 world, and we are talking about our nation's capitol!

Keep us updated about your health. Please.

FLETCH I second that

MMIIXX interesting comment re. threshold. Seems to be a bit of secrecy as to how those little doodads work.

Dear Chrissy and Joan, GET TESTED , NO IFS , ANDS OR BUTS, ok? :satisfied:

Hey Brad and Everybody, please listen up!
There is a new book coming out in December 2005 "Neo-conned Again" and a new Movie coming out in 2006 > "Neo-Conned". Let's get on the ground floor of these projects and spread REAL democracy by spreading these links around:

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/3338

http://www.afterdownings...org/images/neoconned.pdf

http://www.neoconned.com/

Here's an in depth article about that disease agent release in DC with this interesting little snippet:

"The same day the Mall hosted the 2005 National Book Festival, a massive book signing extravaganza which was hosted by First Lady Bush."

The sensors are operated by the Department of
Homeland Security, but officials were not notified of the potential hazard until >>>Friday

"We've stepped up our surveillance and have notified doctors in the area about what to look for," Pane told the radio station.WTF

MMIIXX,

"WTF?" is right. It's Washington-friggin'-DC for crying out loud, post 9/11, and the DHS is still asleep at the wheel!!!

Why do these people continue to be employed by us citizens? They are 100% useless. If that had been a bioterror attack, everyone there would have been dead by now. So "stepping up surveillance" is just bullshit. They are all going to go back to their naps....

Count the billions slipping away...

Re the tularemia scare...
I called my doctor yesterday. He told me he saw no reason for me to be tested as long as I am displaying no symptoms, but to see what happens this week & to let him know. So do I listen to him?...I'm nearly as skeptical about doctors as I am about politicians!
The thing is...the CDC says they are not too worried at this point because there are no reported cases, but will someone report it if they think they just have the flu??

I mean, whoever heard of freakin' tularemia before this??!!
And how is Chrissy doing?? Seen a doctor yet, Chrissy?

It Sux.

The whole country is in continual danger with these morons and assholes at the helm.

JOAN, take your temp., it is a febrile illness. Your concern is understandable, but symptoms should have presented by now, and i am very glad you have none.

The bacteria can live for sveral weeks, so it wouldn't hurt to make sure you launder the clothes you wore (wash and DRY) completely, clean your shoes, things like that, better to be over cautious, but not to alarm you.

I tend to agree with the CDC, they are very savey to this, even if they are sloooow.

OK folks, I'll try not to post this twice this time. Sorry about that, I'm new to this so bear with me. I went to the doctor today, I had a fever, my BP was elevated and so was my white cell count. He told me the only way to know for sure if I have it is to test muscus from my lungs and I'm not coughing anything up although my chest is very tight. He said since I have all the symptoms he's going to treat me for it anyway and if I'm not better in 3 days I have to go back. He gave me cipro. So, that's the deal, I may or may not have it. I have something that is kicking my ass, that's for sure. Today is a week I've been sick.

I'm glad you went to the doctor, Chrissy, and I hope you start feeling better soon.

Thank you for keeping us posted Chrissy, i'm so glad to hear from you, feel free to triple post if you want! Cipro is an excellent broad spectrum antibiotic that should fix whatever the bug is. Take them all, even if you get to feeling better, this is important. And don't be alarmed should your temp go up a degree or two after you start them. OK, i'll stop being bossy, but please keep us posted.

I spoke with Thom Hartmann this AM about being approached some time back to help train some private security or private military guard types. I have just sent the following to Thom who's views are much like Brad's.

At the time I knew nothing of plans for private military types. I knew nothing of Blackwater or anything about the fellow who had sought me out. He had done so because of a mutual acquaintance that knew of my background in State Corrections. This was six, perhaps seven years ago and I had no reason to believe this fellow to be grounded. I suspected he was exaggerating his connections and purpose. The 'Cons' had their plans in place but it was nothing like common knowledge then.

We would have unlimited powers. We would have state of the art equipment. We would be very well paid. Our methods or tactics would not be questioned. I recall thinking at the time; not in this country.

Yes, Thom, my views on these folks may be more cynical, more extreme, still much harsher then yours. I also know that's saying something because I know that you consider them to be dangerous sociopath, driven by greed, prone to rig elections, out to destroy Democracy, driven by unchained greed, etc. etc.. Where we do part, is where I can only hope that you may be correct and my perceptions to be wrong. I believe that they planed, along with Ben Laden for the events of 9-11. I believe that for years they had expressed their needs for a "New Pearl Harbor". I know that the Bushes and the BenLadene's had been very close for years with much money exchanged between them. I will not here attempt to re-account all that I have studied on this subject. If I am right on this one, however, it shifts them into quite another category. Indeed it does shift them into a category where they might well obstruct rescue efforts in New Orleans that was heavily populated by poor Black Democrats.

It goes without saying that this Administration is a full blown nightmare even if they were to come up somewhere short of the truly evil, psychopathic criminals that I have come to perceive. There are clearly any number of reasons to evict them from our government. So why do I find myself moved to include this added dimension? It is because, as you and I both understand; the key to solving problems lies in seeing the problems clearly. That the secret of sound mental health is to be directly tuned to reality.

I do believe that if we perceive this crew as bumbling incompetents who are a bit on the greedy side or that they are simply owned by special interests, then we will likely come up short of resolving the magnitude of the problems confronting us. I am seeing a small crew that will go to any extreme in pursuit of their agenda. I will not suggest that we should minimize that. If they would take us into wars for their personal profits (and/or political advantages) then we need to see that fact clearly. If we fall short on that how might we retain any hope to effectively end those ventures?

One question that you are presently pondering; If indeed Chaney and Bush made the decision to expose Valery Wilson's status as an undercover agent, what do you believe they thought would happen to her? What would likely happen to any undercover agent when exposed? I believe they fully expected that she would probably be killed. They were OK with that. It would be an appropriate pay-back for husband Joe. What does that tell you, Thom?

Urban,
I'm sorry but this video is...pretty out there. It could use some CLARITY. Or maybe it should come with a handbook. I dunno.

Bleak, hideous, pit-of-the-stomach horrifying, and I think it's what we all fear or suspect or already believe to be so.
