It was reported in the mainstream AP news media that Barack Obama plans to address the nation and "lay out his case" for U.S. involvement in Libya.
Obviously, again the Constitution and its strictly common defense provisions for wars will not be factored in during this presidential address.
It is more than obvious that the unrest in Libya is a civil war, and civil matter.
I wonder how Lincoln and this country would have felt if the Russians or British or any other foreign country had involved itself in America's civil war?
Or just why it was that while our leadership in Washington was pressing its case for no fly zone bombing raids and alignment with the British and "allied" forces since World War II for their oil needs most of all, the White House security and police were arresting Americans here on native soil for protesting the Iraq War, now in its 10th year with no end in sight, because they were standing "too near the White House gates?"
This country has been in one illegal engagement after another at least during this boomer's entire life, so just when will it all end - especially since it is clear that these expensive foreign wars are bankrupting this country and its citizens PROGRESSIVELY by those global progressives on both "sides" of the political aisle aligned with the two mainstream political parties and their "corporate" agendas?

Washington Hypocricy Evident Once Again
Once again, it appears that the hypocricy in Washington has become evident for many Americans outside the Beltway.
While the media labeled "coalition" of forces in the West, including America and its historic "allies" Britain, France and the allied forces since World War II are now waging war on Libya in the "no fly" zone which was established this past week by those same forces, protests by Americans were held across the nation against America's continued involvement in Iraq.
It was reported that the rebellious Americans who defer from American foreign policy on the war were arrested for being too near the White House gates while conducting their demonstrations.
Will wonders never cease?
While Washington is supporting the rebels in Libya, it is arresting its domestic variety for staging their demonstrations where they would have the most coverage and impact.
In front of the White House.
Meanwhile, gas prices throughout the country have gone from $2.65 per gallon one year ago, to the "new" pricing of $3.20 a gallon - an over 30% increase in less than a year.
I wonder if those prices reflect all those barrels that were scammed during the months long "cleanup" and then refined in Britain during Deepwater Horizon this past summer, or whether the revolts now in the Middle East will be reported to blame.
Stay tuned.

Prince William To Wed, Bristol Palin Gets BBC Props
Although a rare watcher of the television since it went cable (pay per view), which means I'm now forced to pay for the propaganda spewed on most of the major networks and cable programs just to get the local news and weather, unless you live in a cave today's top stories were hard to avoid.
First, Prince William is to marry finally the woman he has been stringing along for over eight years.
And proposed with the ring his mother, the late Princess Diana (or former Princess Charles of Wales, to be politically correct) received upon her ill-fated betrothal back in 1986.
A marriage that did not end very happily, nor whose life's end has not had its share of detractors also with respect to the "official" stories on that crash in Paris all those years ago.
Of course, the Queen and PM were reported "delighted," as they were with Prince Charles' selection of a bride. And this one, from all appearances, even has a more sense of herself from the outset than Princes Di.
One can only cross fingers, but it is clear the Brits rule once again the U.S. media on the extensive coverage given this really non-event considering, as Glenn Beck (that other Brit worshiper in drag due to his FOX/Rupert Murdoch connections, who wears his polo shirts with "Britain" emblazoned on them during his recent book tours) so aptly put it on one of his recent rants during an entire program devoted to George Soros and his political influence in this country, our media has "bigger fish to fry," than another royal wedding on the domestic front.
I mean, who really cares who Prince William marries unless it was one of Camilla's offspring? Perish the thought.
The second news bit seems to coincide with the first.
And that is that the finalists on that BBC Worldwide produced show for the high rated "Dancing with the Stars" import from the British Isle is to include Bristol Palin, who's mother also now has a cable news "reality" program on their life in Alaska (a state which has bucket loads of oil that those Brits also wish to control).
Brandy, a far better dancer (and I do have some expertise in that field also, since I did spend many, many hours in dance studios as the mother of daughters, and also trained myself in my younger years) and who was a leader from the outset from all reports was booted in favor of Ms. Palin's progeny.
Bruno was oh, so politically correct after the announcement and shock, and admonished the viewers that their "votes count." As was Brandy's partner, a Russian immigrant who extolled the virtues of this country and its "voting" process.
Right. Although left out just who was doing the counting.
I just wonder, since Brandy did score a repeat performance next week after this travesty, just what other perks she might have received for publicly showing that "stiff upper lip" those Brits are famous for?
I'm sure that isn't a question Jimmy Kimmel will ask tonight during his post-mortem.
The other day I was really shocked when turning on the television. Not only do we now have those Spanish language programs throughout the country which you cannot "unsubscribe" for unless you also buy another device or have a degree in programming, but there was a "new" Asian station in either Japanese or Korean included in the "package" sold by a local cable company in the Western United States.
And remember, America, you ARE paying for this.
In one way or another.

BP, Driller Announce Busted Well Fixed
In an announcement today by the Associated Press, the driller hired to drill the relief well and plug the busted well which resulted in the deaths of 11 Americans five months ago stated that by Sunday he intends to finalize the sealing by pouring concrete in the bottom of the damaged well through the relief well thus curing the problem for good.
It was also stated that over 206 million barrels of oil have been released into the Gulf since the disaster occurred in late April.
I wonder, if only half of those millions of barrels of oil made their way to the Port of New Orleans and sailed out to Britain for refinement, just how much profit did BP and its "partners" make on this disaster at the current market price of $74.00 per barrel?
My calculator doesn't have that many zeros, but suffice it to say that Mr. Obama's "capping" the damages and claims process for all those fishermen, shrimpers, and other American industries and small businesses that will be feeling the impact of this disaster for years to come appears that Washington's new methods of bailing out foreign global corporations on the backs of Americans has sunk to a new low surpassing even AIG's bailout under the Bush Administration.
And more and more are finding themselves without any "change" whatsoever, other than those foreign citizens simply working here as resident aliens for the major foreign and globally based European industries.
And I wonder just how much Washington and the state governments will eventually profit from all that extra oil when it is sold back to the American public through their U.S. distributors in those energy and gas taxes for their primarily work related or domestic transportation costs.
And just where does it afford the government to "outsource" America's precious mineral resources to foreigners and foreign governments anyway, while we are still in the Middle East also at this point fighting a war that also is benefiting the "global" economy and European interests most of all, at the cost of Americans?

Deepwater Horizon: Blaming The Coast Guard?
It was interesting this weekend to see articles in the mainstream media now reporting that the Coast Guard has been "authorizing" British Petroleum to use "contaminants" in order to break up the ever widening oil spread in the Gulf after the Deepwater Horizon incident over three months ago.
It appears the spins continue almost as far and wide as this oil has now spread.
In light of the questions of just how and why Congress and the Obama Administration has, for all intents and purposes, given British Petroleum free rein in the containment efforts since this tragedy began, a story such as this bears question. Since it is quite possible that the only "containment" efforts that have been ongoing is the "containment" of thousands of extra barrels of oil for the benefit of the British under those illegally given mineral rights to America's offshore oil reserves.
Now blaming the Coast Guard due to the negligence of this Congress and Administration in originally and immediately pulling BP's offshore leasing rights in light of this SECOND incident involving the loss of American lives and property does seem that Washington and those media moguls are sinking to a level not seen in this country ever before.
The Coast Guard is primarily there for regulation of the domestic coastline perimeter in "directing traffic" and also civilian and commercial safety issues and distress entering and exiting America's ports, with no real legal authority over this ongoing disaster in the magnitude and breadth it initially and has continued to impact the Gulf waters.
Placing the blame and asking failure of our press to ask the fundamental questions does appear that they are attempting also to protect their "global" interests and not report with any accuracy the ongoing saga of Deepwater Horizon.
But continue to wonder why their bottom line profits are deteriorating also by the day, week and month as their advertising and sales revenues continue to decline.
The "global" mainstream media bailout seems to be another disaster just around the bend.
The top news stories were this, and the wedding of Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter, to a former Goldman Sachs employee and hedge fund manager, under "cottony clouds in New York" (a direct quote from the AP report).
I won't publish the "adjective" I came up with after reading that story.

Hail, Britannia: Britannia Rules The Gulf (And Its Ports)
It was reported that the big news today is that BP has finally once again capped the oil spill in the Louisiana Gulf, at least halting the flow for a few more days.
No promises, of course, that the continuing saga of Deepwater Horizon is truly over.
Meanwhile, it was reported that over 184,000,000 (yes, those were the commas) gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf, with those Brits then solely in charge of both containing the spill, and the cleanup of the existing oil residue then in the Gulf.
As stated previously, oil and water do not mix, so I just wonder how many of those 184,000,000 gallons of crude went sailing out through the Port of New Orleans to be refined by those Brits at their home refineries, and then sold back to the American people at a profit - which means that the American people will be paying in a roundabout way for all those fines, fees and reimbursements to those in Louisiana affected - since Obama even took away unconstitutionally the rights of those victims to sue in U.S. District Court BP directly for their actual damages, and not simply damages that the BP claims adjusters deem worthy.
With the Prime Minister cautioning those BP executives about "excessive" claims. And apparently authorized and afforded by Washington and Congress under those leases or Obama dictates to use their own claims adjusters working for BP. Now I just wonder whose "bottom line" those claims adjusters are going to be charged to protect, and from all reports BP's "authorized" adjusters are few and already the backlog of claims increasing by the day.
Just how does the Obama Administration and Congress have any authority to circumvent the U.S. Constitution in this respect removing "due process" rights of those individuals and businesses so affected under this supposed reserve. This does seem to be a British mentality and Rule of Law once again. Making the process not public, but private and away from the American public's view also on just how those claims are being settled, and ultimately at the American public's expense since their profit margins are gained at the pumps throughout the South and who knows where else in this now "global" economy. But suffice it to say a good deal of their bottom line profits are gleened from their American service stations and "lease" agreements.
And just how much is "excessive" in light of the loss also of eleven American lives due to this huge global corporations' negligence, one of the largest global industries in the entire world that STILL holds lease rights to America's offshore oil in both Louisiana and in Alaska from all reports.
And since this is the second disaster which has involved bodily injury and loss of American manual laborers lives, which of course were deemed "the little people" by those Brits, just why isn't Congress and the Obama Administration rescinding their lease rights, lease rights that Congress actually had no business handing out to foreign global corporations, especially Britain, to America's offshore oil reserves anyway.
Especially since we are still in a War in the Middle East primarily for Britain and the loss of their holdings to those lease rights when the Shah of Iran was removed from power, and the Ayatollah and the religious leaders took over basically the area and country back in the 1970's.
I mean, Iraq's "new" government is another basically Constitutional monarchy, with a Prime Minister and Parliament and in no way mirrors the intended structure of the U.S.'s own, which simply goes to prove just who is in charge of the War in the Middle East on "terrorism."
While, of course, the two subsequent attacks which were circumvented since that time by the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber were actually British citizens, one of whom's father was a high ranking banking official in the Middle East that worked for the London bankers from British reprots.
Canadians are now in abundance in this country, and now even being trained under "free trade" agreements apparently at the U.S. public's expense at many of the U.S. military bases and installations. And more and more foreigners are gaining admittance even into U.S. military colleges and universities in both the West and East.
This "joint" security is costing the U.S. citizens most of all, it appears, rather than the Canadians or the British and placing more and more foreigners on U.S. soil by the year since 9-11.
And hasn't the U.S. learned about training foreign troops only to have those troops eventually turn on the American people eventually, and its civilian population now also per 9-11?
There was even a published report in a newspaper in Colorado that the city and state governments are looking into exercising eminent domain procedures against many Colorado ranchers in order to seize their land and property for the expansion of the military bases which are deemed needed due to the ever expanding "theatres" in the Middle East of Iraq and Afghanistan.
And this is ending a war as "reasonably and safely" as possible? While also expanding then the medical provisions for those suffering from PTSD after six or seven tours of duty at this point, this is working our way toward ending this "undeclared" war on a noun?
Gee, between those flashing signs on most major U.S. highways warming about the consequences of failiing to wear a seatbelt, or "Drink and Drive....Do Time (not even "drunk and drive" due to progressively lower and lower blood alcohol percentages not even Washington but "globally" determined, with "technology" also again being brought forth as "prima facie" evidence throughout the country), I would say that to most the "terrorist threat" in the Middle East is only a matter of degree from that found now at home.
Especially due to even "globalizing" our nuclear reactors and selling shares of them over the global stock exchange to foreigners, along with our mineral rights and infrastructure PROGRESSIVELY.
I just wonder, how long ago was it really that the British took over both the Rule of Law, and the Port of New Orleans in the good ol' U.S. of A?
Maybe that is truly why all these Canadian troops are now stationed on U.S. domestic shores.
And if Posse Commitatus was originally supposed to protect Americans from military overstep and is being used as the "excuse" for not militarizing America's southern borders most of all, just what is protecting the American people from the British, when even its military is now "globalized" and amalgamated with them to this degree? Certainly not Obama or this Congress who are, in fact, in bed with them also it appears in this "joint venture," being dictated quite obviously from London.
Who then speak of the "little people," and actually back in those founders time demeaned those "colonials, Yanks and savages," as somehow not gentlemen or worthy of note.
Seems much hasn't changed from '76 in that respect and so many, many others PROGRESSIVELY REGRESSIVELY by the day, week and month.

BP Excuses Beginning To Sound Hollow
I have to suspect that I must not be the only American that has come to the conclusion that the excuses that are now being given by BP (British Petroleum) over their inability to cap this oil spill that just so happened to occur as the American public was demanding more domestic production, and less reliance on foreign crude due to the ongoing and continuing War on Terrorism (oil) are beginning to sound rather hollow...and familiar.
And Louisiana and the U.S. government's hand wringing also suspect.
Obama has stated that he plans to be "hands on" in the cleaning up of this disaster due also to globalization and foreign ownership of another American vital industry which apparently went for the most part unregulated which resulted in the loss of more American lives at the hands of foreigners.
It is interesting that this was a British company involved, and that although Mr. Obama's efforts have been restricted for the most part in formulating another panel at the taxpayers expense to study just what occurred, I wonder if he has also directed them to study some of those "free trade" agreements with global corporations which are operating outside U.S. regulatory body oversight more and more?
I mean post Katrina and the U.S. recession, it is the British and Canadians who are buying up a great many of those million dollar homes in the French Quarter and Garden District, many of whom also work for BP.
And I wouldn't hesitate to guess that as the U.S. gets involved now in this disaster posthumously, that there is a move in Washington to increase the gasoline taxes then in order to provide for the revenue to clean up this spill, even given the announced "fines" that are being levied against BP (which, I'm sure, will be appealed under those "free trade" agreements, leaving again the American public holding the bag).
Washington, and the Global Socialists in both the Republican and Democratic parties have become oh so predictable.
Sort of like Hollywood, that has taken to making more and more "remakes" of both cancelled television series formats, "digitally enhanced" versions of rereleases, or earlier Hollywood blockbusters as their standard fare.
This country can place a man on the moon, and developed the nuclear bomb, and can't clean up an oil spill.
Since we also have shared that technology with Britain and also those other foreign countries and "allies" who now have again risked American lives for their global commercial gain.
While Congress, and this Adminstration as the last, creates panels and twiddles its thumbs.
Fairly similar to the Katrina disaster and subsequent response, for which many lost their homes for eventual foreign and commercial gain.
For which many of those working still on the reconstruction are, once again, foreigners or illegal government contractor or day labor immigrants.
I wonder if the BP reconstruction will be a replay of the Katrina repairs?
Providing for the jobs and the economy, once again, of foreigners for that global economy?
First AIG (American International Group, but London home domiciled) and now BP.
Kinda makes you wonder....
Well, after the oil settles (pun intended) there will, after all, be then future oil reserves discovered again in the future to guarantee those oil barons and their families continued wealth. I mean this is not really a renewable form of energy for the most part.
Hmmm...maybe BBC Worldwide (an ally of the Fox USA network, it would appear) also needed the cash since this has been a major news story now for a good deal of the last month and those ad revenues and advertisers needs must also be satisfied, no matter what the cost or the spin.
And Louisiana and the U.S. government's hand wringing also suspect.
Obama has stated that he plans to be "hands on" in the cleaning up of this disaster due also to globalization and foreign ownership of another American vital industry which apparently went for the most part unregulated which resulted in the loss of more American lives at the hands of foreigners.
It is interesting that this was a British company involved, and that although Mr. Obama's efforts have been restricted for the most part in formulating another panel at the taxpayers expense to study just what occurred, I wonder if he has also directed them to study some of those "free trade" agreements with global corporations which are operating outside U.S. regulatory body oversight more and more?
I mean post Katrina and the U.S. recession, it is the British and Canadians who are buying up a great many of those million dollar homes in the French Quarter and Garden District, many of whom also work for BP.
And I wouldn't hesitate to guess that as the U.S. gets involved now in this disaster posthumously, that there is a move in Washington to increase the gasoline taxes then in order to provide for the revenue to clean up this spill, even given the announced "fines" that are being levied against BP (which, I'm sure, will be appealed under those "free trade" agreements, leaving again the American public holding the bag).
Washington, and the Global Socialists in both the Republican and Democratic parties have become oh so predictable.
Sort of like Hollywood, that has taken to making more and more "remakes" of both cancelled television series formats, "digitally enhanced" versions of rereleases, or earlier Hollywood blockbusters as their standard fare.
This country can place a man on the moon, and developed the nuclear bomb, and can't clean up an oil spill.
Since we also have shared that technology with Britain and also those other foreign countries and "allies" who now have again risked American lives for their global commercial gain.
While Congress, and this Adminstration as the last, creates panels and twiddles its thumbs.
Fairly similar to the Katrina disaster and subsequent response, for which many lost their homes for eventual foreign and commercial gain.
For which many of those working still on the reconstruction are, once again, foreigners or illegal government contractor or day labor immigrants.
I wonder if the BP reconstruction will be a replay of the Katrina repairs?
Providing for the jobs and the economy, once again, of foreigners for that global economy?
First AIG (American International Group, but London home domiciled) and now BP.
Kinda makes you wonder....
Well, after the oil settles (pun intended) there will, after all, be then future oil reserves discovered again in the future to guarantee those oil barons and their families continued wealth. I mean this is not really a renewable form of energy for the most part.
Hmmm...maybe BBC Worldwide (an ally of the Fox USA network, it would appear) also needed the cash since this has been a major news story now for a good deal of the last month and those ad revenues and advertisers needs must also be satisfied, no matter what the cost or the spin.

State Governors Declare Halts In Offshore Drilling
In the wake of the Louisiana BP explosion and disaster, and at the behest, of course, of those also governmentally funded environmental groups in the United States, two states have made noise about banning offshore drilling off their respective coastlines - Calfornia and Florida.
What has been of interest to me has been the timing of this particular disaster, at a time when the American public has been pressing toward more domestic production and less dependence on foreign oil.
Governor Schwartzenegger of Calfornia and Governor Crist of Florida both have publicly stated for the record that both felt in light of the BP disaster in Louisiana that their states were taking a second look at increasing offshore exploration and development of new wells.
Could it just possibly be also that given that there is regulation in this country of oil production and development which was initiated and stepped up primarily due to the fallout from past disasters, especially in Alaska, that it is far more productive and profitable for those who are heavily invested in Wall Street and those U.S. corporations to get their oil from the Middle East, bypassing many of the restrictions and oversight that is involved with those added costs for domestic production?
I mean, it does seem rather fortuitous that this disaster occurred at this time, since the wars in the Middle East continue to be propagandized as one involving mainly our presence there and need for foreign oil - when this just may be a banking and economic war due to fundamentalist Muslim beliefs which has resulted in their having their own banks outside the World Bank and European banking system?
Of course, this disaster, after all the investigations are finally completed, will also involve major repair and reconstruction of those rigs, thus feeding Wall Street and the British bankers and BP once again which has been left out of the mainstream reporting.
Right now, Louisiana is still recovering from both Katrina and Gustav, and construction has become its major industry even surpassing oil and gas exploration, its historic industry.
Which companies also hire a great many of those illegals that supposedly have left the United States due to the decline in the economy - although you wouldn't know it if you had recently visited Louisiana since there is a boom in construction occuring there at the present time and many of those government contractors are hiring those illegals.
Two British terrorist bombers attempting to enter the U.S., and now a British based company involved in the Louisiana disaster.
It does make at least a few Americans pause.
Especially due to the "globalized" economy now in which the U.S. is entrenched thanks to Washington's Constitutional negligence, and that deficit to those British based bankers that own our Federal Reserve is clearly growing in leaps and bounds, while it appears we are taking in more and more of their population from Canada and Australia due to their now stronger currency.
There couldn't be an agenda here, could there?
