"How do I want to rob, cheat and lie to thee. Let me count the ways… military, nuclear, political, academic, media and your law enforcement institutions."
The biggest national security scandal story of our times is the extent that Israeli espionage has gone on here for decades. There is an aspect of the War on Terror on which our elite leadership refuses to level with the public…how terrified our defense, political, counter intelligence and legal institutions are when it comes to rooting them out and shutting it all down. All other terrors pale into insignificance. They treat this affliction with an age old cure…denial.
My first exposure to Israeli espionage scholastically was through Steven Green's book 'Taking Sides: America's Secret Relations With A Militant Israel' (1984). Green was one of the earliest users of the then new Freedom of information Act, filing hundreds of requests to get previously classified military and diplomatic Intel reports.
The book is a gold mine, so much so that some in the Reagan administration considered a rump prosecution of Green to scare others off from doing similar work. Cooler heads prevailed and they ended up reclassifying some of the best parts of the book despite Green's archives being publicly available at the Hoover institute. There is a phrase to describe this…'contempt for the public'.
Green found some of the Zionist early espionage involved extensive weapons hijacking and theft operations to support their 1948 war which gave them complete military superiority in the number and quality of weapons, and training. Post war Czechoslovakia provided the base for this training. The Zios showed their appreciation by delivering a prototype jeep mounted radar system stolen right from under our noses by their many helpers.
The Israeli WMD program started prior to the 1948 war, where our military intelligence reported Zionist agents were combing war ravaged Europe looking for chemical and biological weapons, including Sarin nerve gas. And this was followed soon after the '48 war with the beginning of their nuclear program.
What they could not get through aid or purchase, they simply stole. Weapons grade uranium was obtained in England and here from a reprocessing plant Pennsylvania owned by a American Zionist, still alive today. The investigation of the material pilfered from Westinghouse fuel rods had the FBI agent in charge instructed to make no written notes of any of his interviews, but to report verbally.
President Johnson, caught up in a Mossad 'honey pot' trap, helped arm the Israelis for offensive level operations, and also did nothing when they attacked the USS Liberty in the 1967 war to destroy its battlefield communications intercept capabilities, with 75% casualties.
Let's go down the overview list with a few comments and later I will come back with a piece on each.
Political: Our Congress is completely tunneled. Israeli Intel assets sit on most of their staffs to keep an eye not only on the Congressman's staff, but the elected officials themselves.
These are sometimes volunteer liaison people. Bribery and blackmail (using sex and 'financial irregularities') are some of the age old tools used to compromise them. The money and campaign workers they supply at election time creates a climate where saying no to a Jewish Lobby demand is rarely even considered. And when the President occasionally does, the Lobby just pulls their puppet strings and Congress out votes the rare presidential veto.
Pro Israeli resolutions are introduced sometime several time a session just for a public head count. And when our counter intelligence people are about to bust a big Israeli spy case, the word comes down from the executive branch to stop the investigation in order to avoid the national embarrassment of our 'ally'.
The executive branch has to give them a few slots in return for their major campaign support. For the White house the Israelis lean toward the National Security Council slots. What once was chief deputy plum spots are now NSC members themselves. Israeli spies just walk in the front door, pick up what they have ordered from their NSC asset, and walk out the front door. The Secret Service has a front row seat on all of this, and always has. So does the FBI who has them under surveillance.
Most of our top loyal Intel people who are aware of all this tell us that even bringing up the idea of a prosecution is instant career destruction.
Yes, you figured it out. The retired folks have filled us in on all this stuff as they felt humiliated having to work around that level of corruption.
Law enforcement: Part of the Jewish Lobby's payoff for campaign help, from either Republicans or Democrats, is to plant their key people in places where they can protect Israeli interests. In the Justice Department they want people where they can have early warning on any investigations. Another main focus are those in the Justice Department and FBI that seem too interested in catching Israeli spies. It is a dual approach. Those who play ball with the Lobby traitors are helped to move up, and those who do not, their career start running into problems.
Lobby schmooze groups like the Anti-Defamation League are staple lecturers at the FBI Academy priming young agents to be more open to helping out our good ally Israel someday when they need to be tipped off about something.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, Morris Dees and crowd are now on a Homeland Security advisory board doing diversion work Our limited counter intelligence resources are wasted watching over returning war theater veterans and traditional American groups they deem not subservient enough to Lobby and Israel's interests, or whose persecution and harassment please a political ally they want to get some pay back from, ie., ALWAYS support anything and everything Israel wants.
Military: The Pentagon is also another long time tunneled institution. Israeli espionage assets are put in place through the high level political appointments, with Dems and Repubs competing for campaign donations by how many of these high level positions they will give the Lobby people.
The public got to see this for the first time with the bogus Intel that was stove piped into the Pentagon to give Bush the cover he needed for invading Iraq. Before that the 'intelligence' we were shown on Afghanistan came from Hollywood style screen writers, complete with mountain fortresses with nuclear bomb labs. None of this was true of course…and not a single person has even been reprimanded. To date not even a single Al Qaeda training facility has ever been located by NATO forces in Afghanistan. As Gordon Duff has reported multiple, the bogus jungle gym training videos all come from Israel.
The military brass is not immune. All up and coming brass are profiled for their pro or not pro enough on Israel quotient to size them up for co-option or dead career assistance.
Their religious backgrounds are checked to see if the Christian Zionist button is the best approach. How about living beyond their incomes? Or might they like an impressive post military career with a few hundred thousand a year in low labor directors fees, a nice think tank position, or maybe a high profile talking head mass media expert slot. All this is available to those who want to play ball.
This is an all out attack on America as the Founding Fathers wisely warned early on that 'an informed public would be key to preserver the Republic'.
If you want a list of names of their best prospects just ask the Lobby front orgs for their recruiting lists.
They use the standard spy recruiting tool, the lavish all expense paid tour to Israel where spy recruits get the five star treatment…classified briefings, meeting the top political leaders who fawn over them, and a taste of what more might be available for 'team players'.
They do this with law enforcement brass also, from State Bureau Investigation heads down to key city sheriffs, those able to provide information to good friends if they want to, or tipping them off to FBI investigations, and they do.
Years ago in Atlanta, a David Irving talk attendee got lost entering the meeting facility and opened an unlocked door to find the actual head of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation sitting down with his headphones on, personally running the taping equipment. He and his Mrs. subsequently participated on one of these five star Israel junkets…just a co-incidence I am sure.
After our attorney general, this was the top law enforcement officer in the state. That folks, is what you call tunneling.
Academic: Israeli espionage here focuses primarily on keeping our young people with the pro Israeli attitude. Next is keeping the professors in line, particularly in areas like the Mid East Departments. Life can be tough for those who do not openly portray themselves as pro Israel. And for those who openly challenge their major positions, they usually find their employment under assault by a gang banging of Jewish groups, politicians and media.
Norman Finklestein got nailed at DePaul University, with his being denied tenure. The school administration disgraced American academia through their being total pawns for the Jewish Lobby in punishing Finklestein for his anti-Zionist activism. But Prof. Kevin MacDonald has survived multiple purge attempts at California State University, Long Beach, with the university administration getting caught red handed taking orders from Jewish Lobby domestic terrorists.
Jewish campus youth groups like Hillel are recruiting grounds for nice Jewish kids to spy on their professors and fellow students, particularly the ones that look like potential political comers. Every word they say or gets printed is reviewed for any clues on support or non support for Israel, and the proper notation is made in their files.
The Israelis think long term on their penetrations. For nuclear spies, the best PhD. candidates coming out of the top schools are profiled similarly to the generals and admirals…religion, poor childhood, egos, or…how about a little help getting a first job at the top nuclear labs.
"We have friends in those places and we could put a good word in for you." This is no theory folks. This is how it is done. They know it. We know it. They know we know it.
Only the public ends up as the real chumps here, as they are the last to know. All of these Israeli espionage facilitators do not want to be pestered with silly questions like "why have we never broken up a single Israeli spy network here…is it illegal or something to catch them?"
Media: Ah…the media. The spy recruiter's choice of all assignments. Media spies are a gold mine. They have some Supreme Court case protection on sources. They have the wonderful tool of asking important people about classified material 'off the record'. And if they run into some problems the media employers generally pay the legal bills as they did Judith Miller.
Some of them come pre trained like Wolf Blitzer, formerly spending years at the Jerusalem Post being groomed for his future assignment. They rarely use someone with a high profile like this too openly, but an exception was made with Blitzer. They blew his cover by having him write the whitewash book on Jonathan Pollard, who killed more CIA agents and more of our overseas spies than all of the rest of the Cold War combined. Pollard destroyed almost an entire generation of intelligence expenditures, and Wolf Blitzer got paid off by making him an anchor…another demonstration for those hesitant to play ball.
So Jim Dean, what are we going to do about it?
I will be writing more on the Jonathan Pollard presidential pardon. The pro Pollard pressure list reads like a who's who of the Israeli fifth column here, even including past Secretary of State George Schultz, and former CIA director James Woolsey.
The working title I have for this series is ZioLeaks. We are going to take you through it all…the past and the present, show you who is working for them and why…things like the think tanks that are bull pens for spies or assets waiting to be placed in key administration patronage slots, political, defense, media, law enforcement or academia.
The easy part about this is what is called in the trade 'front door' espionage. It is done in the open. Their assets are revealed as kind of showing off that the fix is in so deep, that it doubles as a recruiting advertisement for them.
Hence the Herculean effort to get Pollard released…simply to demonstrate to all those working for Israeli intelligence, directly or indirectly, that, "we will take care of you, no matter what it takes…whoever we have to compromise, including Secretaries of State and CIA directors."
Jonathan Pollard: New Information Revealed
What they don't know that is coming at them is what Mubarak and his looting cronies did not see coming. And it is coming here.
All that is required to trigger it off is for the good folks to fully learn how thoroughly they have been screwed over, and by whom.
Our VT people have fought on the front lines, behind the lines, or in the culture wars where we saw good Americans pitted against good Americans in what was clearly the classic Intel divide and counter play.
With the years that some of us in our 60's have left, frankly…we would like to devote most of it to some good old payback to America's worst friend in the Mideast. How about you???
Israeli espionage here is a glaring example of deep corruption. They are working Homeland Security now laying the ground work for prosecuting those who want to catch them…for hate. They want to put their critics in jail. Egypt is here people, brought to us by the Israelis.
Our counter intelligence institutions are fully aware of all of this but do absolutely nothing to warn the public. Why?…political consequences. It would be just one more small step to put the politicians in the cross hairs, and they have lots of tools to punish whistle blowers. The main one would be attacking their budget requests, or being brutalized in Congressional hearings with Jewish Lobby smear material being hand fed by insiders to the committees.
Maybe we can have a band of these Tunisians and Egyptian folks come over here and give us a few pointers. Veterans Today will try to bring some of them on through our new multimedia expansion. After all, what do we have to lose?

"all countries have to have intelligence and spy on other countries including Israel"
True, but this is not one country spying on another country. The USA is owned and operated by "Israel" and "Israel" is not a discreet entity either as the Brotherhood of Darkness new world order death and slavery system owns and operates both Israel and the USA.
"Israel has one of the best intelligence departments thank goodness."
Geez, they oughta, don't ya think ?! They've been plying their "intelligence" for well over 2000 years now.
"I would like Mr. Dean to go live in the Arab Muslim countries and I bet he would be begging to live in Israel after that."
I would like Mr. Fred to go live in Israel, and he would be begging to live in Dalhart, Texas, after that!
"Israel is not perfect but must do what it takes to survive since she is surrounded by enemies."
I always get a bit nauseous when I hear the "not perfect" card played on any subject.
"You would do the same thing. "
Not. "We" would not have been evil enough to start a country in the manner "you" did in the place you did, with zero consideration and planning for the just and honorable treatment of the Palestinian people
"Israel is the only Democracy in that area."
Any honest person who has formerly lived in Israel will tell you Israel is NOT a Democracy.
"Every time Israel defends itself it gets criticized."
"Israel", as we know it, is a corrupt evil entity from the get-go and therefore it deserves no respite from honest criticism. Every legitimate country has a right to legitimately defend itself for just cause, but that is not what we're talking about here.
"Israel gives up land for peace and gets more missiles dropped on it."
No, that has all been part of Israel's deceptive chess game. Israel is the side holding all the real artillery and by comparison Israel is having a few rocks thrown at it. Israel has no desire for peace but simply a strong desire for more land and really to take over the control of the world.
"God bless Israel and we support her right to exist!"
Yes, "Israel" has just as much "right to exist" as the Americans do as when taking over Native North America occupants' land. But there is a God honoring way to do this and America, to some extent, and Israel to a total extent, both did this in a non God honoring way.
"To those who dislike Jewish or the Israeli people I say this"
I do not dislike any person on this earth because of their DNA. That is "biological determinism" and is not only more Talmudic scientific hogwash but also is a mortal sin in my religion. However, many of us strongly dislike and are under command by our God to seek truth and expose evil such as the evil BEHAVIOR of "Jewish or the Israeli people."
I would also comment that "Jewish or the Israeli people" will never define the following words…
"Jesus was a Jew who was circumsized and had a Jewish upbringing so
how on earth can you hate his people, but worship him? Go figure!"
We do not "hate His people" and maybe you ought to read Nostra Aetate and stop spening your time furthering the Jewish revolutionary rejectionsist spirit to destroy the world.
"Indeed, the Church believes that by His cross Christ, Our Peace, reconciled Jews and Gentiles. making both one in Himself"
"Also if you hate Jews I have to tell you that I ban you from singing White Christmas, Easter Parade and God Bless America as they were all written by a Jew named Irving Berlin."
Mr. Berlin, in writing those schmaltzy secular songs about most revered Christian holidays/celebrations, was simply working take Christ out of Christmas and the crucified Christ out of Easter, and further "Talmudize" America and American patriotism.
I like to sing Silent Night instead.
"Probably one of the more well-known, mainstream Christmas hymns today is "Silent Night," which was written in 1818 in Austria. As the story goes, on Christmas Eve Father Joseph Mohr, the pastor of St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf, ran into a problem when the church organ broke. There would not be time to get it repaired before Christmas Mass, and faced with the prospect of Christmas services with no organ music, Mohr took a poem he had written two years before and asked the church organist, Franz Gruber, to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment to go with the poem. Thus "Silent Night" ("Stille Nacht") was born and first sung that night at the church's midnight Mass."
God bless us each and every one in the Name of Jesus Christ Who IS Truth.
Penumbra, I agree with and appreciate your comments. The importance of the content of Mr. Dean's material should be matched by a high level of the finest writing and presentation/mechanics.
But our side has no money and we have to seize the moment and get this material out right now.
I cannot say enough how much I admire and respect Mr. Dean, a true American patriot.
Some of our money is relaundered through the Republican National Committee (ponder details of Tom Delay legal case) and I think the Democratic National Committee as well. Money is fungible and that is why our USA finances are such a huge "smoke and mirrors" phenomenon.
Great idea, but also take back to the US government the billions stolen by the banksers.
Also, lets have "Jubilee year" and just trash all the derivative toxic assets of all entities, and lets to the Icelandic polka and just say NO to "austerity" being thrust on Americans round about now. There will be no need for auterity once we get back the hundreds of billions of dollars stolen by these bankster entities.
To Mr. Dean and Penumbra –
Although I am a relative newcomer to this important topic, I am deeply interested in understanding how power and influence truly operates in this country and in the world. I came across this page and was struck by the wealth of information, so I applaud the efforts of Mr. Dean. I also perfectly understand his explanation for the sloppiness in presentation. I write this simply to support Penumbra's opinion and want him to know that he is perfectly clear in what he says. Thank you.
Penumbra says: "Sorry but no, John. I simply recognize from years of attempting to present cogent verifiable information to the wilfully deceived of the true order at work, that presentation is an important first hurdle to overcome."
I couldn't agree more, Penumbra – presentation is Everything.
Interestingly, that's your problem – how you say it. You're almost completely incomprehensible. Stop trying to impress us with your vocabulary and start typing exactly what you mean in sensible and practical language.
Mr Dean as a SOL decendent like you..this is most impessive work..VT is raising the Bar..Im humbled in your research, direction to truth and gratful to learn more as you proceed with zioleaks 2.0..vr jim, veteran.
Jeff Gates is the legal eagle at VT, talk to him.
Nice Debbie, at your side.
What a blatant Zionist propaganda site!

Nice try Zio-shill…
Israel did 9/11 you filthy traitor. You may have fooled the MSM media watching sheep, but you did not fool everyone. Many people are now WIDE AWAKE to your treachery.
Thanks for the fantastic article Mr Dean.
Israel must all it does to survive? You mean even occupying a land that belongs to another by all using sorts of terror? Shows how moral & ethical you are!
What about our "Civil Civilian's War" CCW, using our best WMD for taking this enemy out in using our Courts for Civil Damages by Citizen Jury Trials?
Fraud Charges open's up limits on Statutes of Limitation [like times up you cannot charge me now] yes we can. Rico. Opens up a broad set of laws, in gaining information, And after Trial paying multiple time's Dollar Damages in Restitutions.
To Start With
1) Traitor Jonathan Pollard. Can be tried for Damages of all those Human, America assets his spying and the release of that information to Israel got Killed.
2) USS Liberty. Veterans and those families who lost a Family member still have rights to Damages also.
What about a separated group as "Veterans Today Legal Action LLC." Naturally they would publicly post on this site, with updated links for Action's & Trial information as warranted, Is there anyone out there who can lead in setting it up?
I am ready to contribute $1,000.00 to this LLC.
JP, How would you stop the cash flow to the Govt when the privately owned FED RESERVE is more than willing to PRINT any amount of INORGANIC MONEY, the SUBSERVIENT GOVT needs to fulfill the agenda of the Zion Talmudic Mafia Dons, who put the politicians in Congress-Senate and the President and his cabinet in the White House?
excellent vid..
many thx
inre… what do we do?
…never fear…
hubris … always trips on its dick.
'they've' got hubris in spades.
thx jim dean, for the added vox 🙂
Israel is an apartheid state. No person who believes in equal rights under the law should support it. There are roads for Jews Only in the west bank, and settlements for Jews Only. Hundreds of Israeli rabbis signed an edict telling Jews it was against religious law to rent apts to non Jews. And we give this nation billions per year!
The Israelis and the Israel Firsters in this country are making fools of us all. Many of our congressmen, administration staff, and media people have their first loyalty to Israel. This is treasoness and harmful to our nation, as Dean was trying to show.
Zionism sucks, and so do you.
Please re-read my statement, thanks.
Chris, all the classic Israeli propaganda motifs are present. It's a no-brainer that Fred is a dutiful Sayan with a brain on auto-pilot.
My sister in law is a non religious Jew. I guess I shouldn't trust her?
Sorry but no, John. I simply recognize from years of attempting to present cogent verifiable information to the willfully deceived of the true order at work, that presentation is an important first hurdle to overcome.
The liars are polished, cogent, and articulate. Thus, we who seek to counter their influence do the truth no justice by presenting it in sloppy fashion.
I respect and appreciation the explanation given by the author but speak to a general lack of proper editing found in alternative information sites which undermines the power of the content of many exposes.
The unawakened do not need much cause to reject the truths being exposed, let's try to limit the technical causes as much as possible, that is my intent in my initial comment above.
JD> Many thanks for your explanation and your effort.
Fred says Israel gave up land for peace. Thats funny Fred, lets not forget they stole that land in the first place. So giving up land they stole is hardly commendable.
Either your another jew activist that posts here or you are severly brain washed.
Israel = occupied areas of Palestine.
This is an overall false story. But I must say almost all countries have to have intelligence and spy on other countries including Israel. Israel has one of the best intelligence departments thank goodness. I would like Mr. Dean to go live in the Arab Muslim countries and I bet he would be begging to live in Israel after that. Israel is not perfect but must do what it takes to survive since she is surrounded by enemies. You would do the same thing.
Israel is the only Democracy in that area. Every time Israel defends itself it gets criticized. Israel gives up land for peace and gets more missiles dropped on it. Israel is surrounded by enemies. So Israel may make a mistake now and then so what! Israel is fighting for her life. God bless Israel and we support her right to exist!
To those who dislike Jewish or the Israeli people I say this: Jesus was a Jew who was circumsized and had a Jewish upbringing so
how on earth can you hate his people, but worship him? Go figure!
Also if you hate Jews I have to tell you that I ban you from singing White Christmas, Easter Parade and God Bless America as they were all written by a Jew named Irving Berlin. GOD BLESS ISRAEL.
"The Heretics' Hour: Disinformation on the Internet, Part One"
Much of the content is about Gordon Duff.
Read comments as well.
As I said many time, the best place to hit hard the Government and his agencies, It's their WALLET. STOP paying your income taxes. You have a lot of people in Canada who can help you doing it like Robert Arthur Menard, Jacques-Antoine Normandin, Robert Lavigne and many more. Go to Youtube and punch these names in your keyboard, sit and listen. it would be a start. That's what I have done 8 years ago.
If you want to bring down your government and his corruptions , it's one step. The second step is STOP voting Liberal,Conservative or NDP, and vote for a NEW PARTY that is WELL-AWARE of all that GAME that is ongoing, like the Canadian Action Party and the new leader Dr. Andrew Moulden, a well-informed individual, go to CAP's Web Site and watch their videos, you won't see those on the Liberal's or Conservative's Web site.
These are easy steps, but it takes GUTS and FEARLESS to get out of that "HONEY TRAP".
It's up to each of us, FEAR is our WORST ENEMY but DOING NOTHING it's being a WITNESS of a CRIME, ACCOMPLICE of OUR DESTRUCTION.
I hope this article gets widely distributed on the web, the main stream media won't publish any of this. For me, as an American, (and also a veteran) when the US covered up and protected Israel instead of our own sailors on board the USS Liberty, that's when I realized how horriffic things were. It was an act beyond comprehention. We must get Israel's grip off our nation. Our honor and future depend on it.
Cheers Jim Dean for being a courageous man in a HIJACKED COUNTRY and congratulation for an excellent article that sums up, in a straight forward way using simple words all can understand, how, where and by whom the USA has been infiltrated and became subservient to the Rogue State of Israel.
It is a national scandal indeed to have any nation taken over by a shrewd and well organized MAFIA that apparently possess UNLIMITED funds, which permits it to BRIBE-ORGANIZE-INFILTRATE-RECRUIT-INDOCTRINATE-SET UP THINK THANKS-SPY ON and BLACKMAIL True American Citizens-BUILD a PARALLEL STATE right here in the USA under the nose and eyes of EVERYBODY.
It's more than a NATIONAL SCANDAL, it's a SHAMEFUL INSANE de facto SITUATION, where 96% of the NON-JEWS American Citizens have been reduced to scared chicken, are deadly afraid to speak up their mind about the HIJACKING of their country and are under the continuous threat of seeing their career compromised, their security-personal integrity at risk, if they do not allow the INFILTRATION-DESTRUCTION of THEIR COUNTRY-CONSTITUTION-CULTURAL HERITAGE by a ZION TALMUDIC INTERNATIONAL MAFIA whose modus operandi and members, including the Non-Zios-Sayanim, are WELL KNOWN.
It take balls of men like Dr. NORMAN FINKELSTEIN to act as he does defending the TRUTH and JUSTICE, speaking up against a powerful MAFIA and traveling even to the Occupied Palestine, confronting the Dons in their own turf… or ladies from Jews for Peace, like ESTEE CHANDLER from LA-CA, with strong ovaries to stand up for the American People… against said MAFIA.
In my opinion the only right way to go about this tragedy is considering the ALIENS and THEIR SAYANIM as a MAFIA, a criminal organization that uses deceit-coercion-infiltration-intimidation-bribery-spying-blackmail to achieve goals that are UNLAWFUL under US CONSTITUTION-CODES, including the UN CHART and INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Here RICO should apply. The tragedy of 9/11-Phony Intelligence on Afghanistan-Iraq-Misdeeds of Israel Firsters-Disinformation and Opinion Manipulation of Americans by the Jewish Owned Controlled Media, all this, the American men and women dead in Afghanistan-Iraq, contain elements that are clear evidence of fool play, not to benefit the USA (taken for a FOOL) but solely the Rogue State of Israel
and the MAFIA members who have hijacked the USA and its institutions positioning their chips in key-sensitive places and from there exerting their influence and blackmailing law abiding citizens if they not collaborate with the ongoing take over of America.
I have started a petition asking Congress to draft legislation prohibiting dual citizens from holding posts at the highest levels of government. It won't happen, of course, but it may prove instructive to see who champions such legislation and who opposes it.
I have started a petition asking Congress to draft legislation prohibiting dual citizens from holding posts at the highest levels of Congress. I doubt if that will happen, but it may be instructive to watch which congressional members support the measure.
Watch this interview with Norman Dodd (banking insider).
Please sign my petition, aimed at dual citizens at the highest levels of government.
That's not realistic but they shouldn't let them run for political office or be in the military or intelligence agencies however.
You should never fully trust anyone except yourself and your family.

Insightful article.
Penumbra, there is no need to criticize an excellent teammate in public. Perhaps sending comments to the author in an email would have been a better choice. You may want to send him a properly chilled bottle of Chardonnay. 🙂
Great articulation Mr Dean.
With tribal loyalties always coming first, no non-Jew should ever fully trust a Jew. It's just too irresponsible. The loyalty to their tribesmen will always come first…even for "American" jews serving in high office.
Thank you Mr. Dean for this article. It's the message here that counts, not the grammer. Penumbra still thinks this site is an English Composition contest.
Whilst clear evidence does, indeed, exist concerning the long-running, ongoing and deeply embedded spy operations of Israel within public and private spheres in the US, I find it odd (especially from you Rehmat) to see this all too commonly regurgitated mainstream media mantra of "conspiracy theory" revisited vis a vis involvement in the events of 911.
I must respectfully disagree that the theory-filled "void" of which you speak, includes 911. A veritable mountain of evidence, long and arduously researched by countless private individuals throughout the US and worldwide, has been amassed to to show – however circumstantial some may be at this point – that Israel's Mossad (the only Israeli institution materially and tactically capable at a global level) had a direct hand in the events.
Of course, there had to have been ample collusion from key sectors of military/intelligence/government within the US to ensure success of the militarily precise attacks, but the indisputable EVIDENTIARY facts of nano-thermite, seismic records, dancing Israelis in possession of large sums of cash, explosives and Arabic literature, et al, are damning indictments which cannot simply be dismissed by rational intellectually-honest proponents of 911 truth and justice.
The only difference that really exists between the Doxer case you cite and 911 is that the FBI actually conducted a REAL investigation to completion on the former, while the public was handed nothing more than a costly pantomime by the 911 Commission/NIST/FEMA and other agencies complicit in the whitewash of the latter.
Let 911 have a true, fully public-scrutinized, no-holds-barred, investigation with no agency or level of government/industry exempt from shakedown and there would be no place left for claims of "conspiracy theory", only conspiracy FACT.
I hope I live long enough to see the day when those of us who actually recognized what was happening on that fateful day and whose agenda it served can ram our justified I TOLD YOU SO's down the sniveling heckling throats of the zombie majority.
Up here in Canada, we have a Zioinst stooge for a prime minister. Most of our Members of Parliament get those free, luxury trips to Israel. Many of our MPs belong to Canadian Parliamentarians for Israel. We have high level security meetings between the Canadian and Israeli military of which I was unaware until I read about it in VT! Many security assignment have been taken from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and given to Israeli security firms. (You just know that false flag ops are going to come from that arrangement!)
There is tremendous anger that we have been sold out by the traitors and fifth-columnists in our own government. But, as alway, the question is, what the hell can we do about it? What is the answer?
actualy that is a hell of a good idea , denmark told their failed bank that they will file bankrupsy goldman sacks is their dept holder and that is remarkable and blows up the to big to fall thing. thats as good as ive seen so far for breaking looting the people to prop up the ritch no more looting there.
we know the zionists are a big problem, and we know judizium takes all none jews a says we are cattel just to serve them .by not seperrating religien and goverment i dont under stand how we can get rid of this zionist problem. does anyone have an idea to right this wrong? and come up with a sound plan that doesnt take all out war? egypt revolted and it worked untill they got to the oustering of their dicktater, then it seems they had no real plan after they got that far. i wouldent want to see us do a job to take our country back and have no real plan once we got it back, and the people that is there now wouldent brake clean of the zionists most of them are one. the intire group there should be replaced befor hand so when we get controll wed have controll. just my thoughts and sorry if i didnt use good penmanship i went to school here and im a product of them i guess . i would like to hear ideas and sound plans agree?
I must concur with that sentiment and assessment. Moreover, what level of "middle class" leverage might yet exist in this abovementioned equation of "just show them the depths of the betrayal and they will rise" will only be as viable as the clarity and careful articulation of the writer(s) presenting such information.
Despite the wealth of introductory information contained above, the impact of the message is undermined by highly inarticulate and careless spelling and grammatical construction. With all due respect to a vital outfit like VT, this piece is one of the most poorly edited I have yet read here and it does a great disservice to VT and to the truths it wishes to expose to present it as presently written.
While diehard truthseekers may overlook such things in deference to the weighty content, those many of our fellows and families who are still blinded by mainstream media glitz will most certainly scoff at the message if the messenger cannot be bothered to speak/write properly.
I submit this admonition for general consideration.
Start jailing bankers with dual citizenship
On October 7, 2010 – Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post reported that the FBI has arrested a Jew employee of Akamai Technologies Elliot Doxer for providing confidential information over 18-month to a FBI agent he thought worked for Israeli Consulate in Boston.
As expected under a Zionist Occupied Government (ZOG), the US Justice Department has named the benefactor of this latest espionage Israel as "Country X". Furthermore, US Justice Department has charged Doxer with a single count of wire fraud and the Zionist entity being not behind the espionage. Now just imagine what the Jewish media headlines had been – had Elliot Doxer been a Muslim working for some US puppet government in the Muslim world.
According to an e-mail Doxer sent to Israeli Consulate – proves him to be a "good moral Jew" who wanted to help Jewish homeland (Israel) built on a land stolen from its Native Muslim and Christian Arabs. "I am Jewish American who wants to help our homeland and our war against our enemies," wrote Doxer.
On April 2, 2010 – I posted an article titled US doesn't need enemies when it has Israel as a friend in which I listed some of earlier Israeli terrorism, which with the help of ZOGs and Jewish-controlled mass-media was pinned on Muslims.
United States is home to the largest Israeli espionage outside Occupied Palestine. Ask any US counter-intelligence officer and he will tell you that the Zionist entity is not a friend of the US. American author, Christopher Ketcham in his March 2009 article, Israeli spying in the United States wrote:
The fact of Israeli penetration into the country is not a subject oft-discussed in the media or in the circles of governance, due to the extreme sensitivity of the U.S.-Israel relationship coupled with the burden of the Israel lobby, which punishes legislators who dare to criticize the Jewish state. The void where the facts should sit is filled instead with the hallucinations of conspiracy theory — the kind in which, for example, agents of the Mossad, Israel's top intelligence agency, engineer the 9/11 attacks, while 4,000 Israelis in the Twin Towers somehow all get word to escape before the planes hit. The effect, as disturbing as it is ironic, is that the less the truth is addressed, the more noxious the falsity that spreads.
Israel's spying on the U.S., however, is a matter of public record, and neither conspiracy nor theory is needed to present the evidence. When the FBI produces its annual report to Congress concerning "Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage," Israel and its intelligence services often feature prominently as a threat second only to China. In 2005 the FBI noted, for example, that Israel maintains "an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States." A key Israeli method, said the FBI report, is computer intrusion. In 1996, the Defense Intelligence Service, a branch of the Pentagon, issued a warning that "the collection of scientific intelligence in the United States [is] the third highest priority of Israeli Intelligence after information on its Arab neighbors and information on secret U.S. policies or decisions relating to Israel."
Most Americans cant tell their arse from their elbow, what chance have they of spotting an Israeli who was born in America and speaks with an American accent and is in the American government? Rahm Emmanuel even served in the IDF for crying out loud. If he can get that close to the POTUS forget about mass protests on the street – the people just don't get it, never have and never will. That is the way the Zionists have made America, as detailed above. Dumbed down schools, dumbed down media, dumbed down government – in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.

Girls basketball is played below the rim and against Mountain Pointe, which is the home of Kaylah Lupoe.
The 6-foot-1 junior post player has a natural ability to block shots and when she gets a hold of one it can provide the same kind of oohs and ahhs a big dunk does.
"It's like a turning point in a game," senior guard Ashley Clubb said. "She gets us all pumped up. She always has our back. When I take a chance (defensively) I know she is going to clean it up."
Lupoe has a height advantage most games, has good hands and feet, and yet she is still challenged in the paint. Of course teams have to keep coming inside but the opposing player often alters her path when Lupoe steps up.
It doesn't always help.
"We can't beat her in practice in 2-on-1 drills," Pride coach Trevor Neider said. "She has a very good feel for it. She doesn't swat them eight rows back then yells and screams like some kids, but she is so effective.
"She doesn't really leave her feet, doesn't get in foul trouble and isn't trying for the big swat. She is disciplined with it."
Lupoe and her older sister, Karyn, a 2010 Pride graduate, worked on blocking shots with their dad, John, who played at Tuskegee University in Alabama.
"We'd go to the gym and work on everything," Kaylah said. "It helped a lot. He always said focus on the ball not the person.
"It's a great feeling. A big block is a feeling of power, like you have control of the game. It helps the team, too, because it provides that big lift and we get the ball back a lot."
She has had some quality games over the last three seasons, but nothing was more impressive than the triple double she had against Boulder Creek in a first round win in the postseason last year against the 6-3 Sam Young.
Lupoe finished with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks.
"That was great because she was bigger than me and I had to defend her," Lupoe said. "I had to make sure I had my team's back."
Lupoe has been on varsity since she was a freshman and her offense has started to become just as important as her defense.
She's had four 20-plus point games this year and if it weren't for some lopsided scores among the Pride's 19 wins (in the first 23 games heading into Thursday's action) there'd be more. Lupoe had a lot put on her shoulders when she was a freshman and it allowed her to develop even more.
"I am better offensively because I was counted on as a freshman," Lupoe said. "It made me want to make sure I was there for them. I want to grow a little bit each year."
Neider, who said Lupoe could be more dominant if she was more aggressive and selfish, knew she was going to be good when she came into the program and has seen only development since.
"Everyone said she brings a "block party" wherever she goes," he recalled. "I was like, 'OK, that's club ball and she is only a freshman,' but she was better than even what everyone said. She has only gotten better in every aspect of the game since."
It will be hard for Lupoe, who has been in contact with several Division I schools including Arizona State, to approach school records, which have lapsed over the years, but it is a good bet that she is behind Stanford All-American and WNBA All-Star Nicole Powell, who graduated from Mountain Pointe in 2000.
It doesn't take away from Lupoe's career numbers as she is on pace for 1,000 points, 800 rebounds, 300 blocks, 200 steals and 100 assists.
It all adds up to one dominant force below the rim.
"We steer everything toward Kaylah," said Neider, whose team host North at 7 p.m. tonight. "She's erased a lot of our defensive mistakes and that's what we want. We know we can get away with things up front because she is going to make up for it down low."

2005 Chateau Duhart Milon
Retail: $149.99
$119.98per bottle
Product Description:
This is a presale offer! Full payment is required on all presales. Wine is due in Spring/Summer of 2008.
"The 2005 Duhart-Milon is not far behind the 2003 (which I rated 94 points). A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot, it reflects the fact that the Rothschilds and their administrator, Charles Chevalier, have been making a major effort to increase quality at this property. Firm and structured, with a deep ruby/purple color and hints of graphite, black currants, licorice, smoke, and earth, it possesses a textured, rich, pure center, strong tannins, and real elegance as well as length. Four to six years of bottle age will be required, and it should last for 20-25 years."

Concerned about a loophole in super laws allowing the well-heeled to enjoy tax benefits for art works hanging on their living room walls, in 2011 the federal government clamped down on collectables held in self-managed super funds.
Under the new rules, art works must not be stored anywhere in the home of an SMSF trustee.
Works may be stored, but not displayed, on a business premise and they may be leased to an art gallery, provided that the art gallery is not owned by a related party of the super fund and the lease is completed at arm's length terms.
Wherever the assets are stored, trustees must record in writing their reasons and decisions for asset storage and keep those records for 10 years.
Regardless of where the art is stored, it must be insured separately and not included in a home and contents insurance policy. The policy must be in the name of the super fund and be taken out within seven days of acquisition. A collective policy can be taken out to cover all of a fund's assets but it must be separate from any existing house and contents insurance.
Any transfer of ownership to a related party must be done at market price, as determined by a qualified independent valuer.
The regulations apply to art bought from July 1, 2011. From July 1, 2016 all art works in a self-managed fund must adhere to the rules. SP

A skull found in forest near Tin Can Bay on Thursday could belong to the unidentified victim in the Cedar Pocket torso mystery.
The grisly find was confirmed by police on Saturday to be human remains. The Gympie Times reported a skull was discovered by forestry workers. Wide Bay Burnett Detective Inspector Bruce McNab could not confirm nor deny the information, but did say the remains were not that of an entire body.
The discovery was made by Toolara Forestry workers about 8am on Thursday during a maintenance clearing operation in a section of pine plantation about 1km off the Cooloola Coast Rd.
Detective Inspector McNab said the remains were on the ground and looked to have been there for some time, but could not say how old they were.

This research develops an object-oriented approach to model airport ground network traffic operations. A generic modeling library is developed as a tool kit to model the basic traffic operations in the airfield using an object-oriented approach. The proposed generic modeling library for airfield operations is a collection of predefined abstract components implemented in the Java object-oriented programming language. Classes are defined and used as the basic components in a variety of airfield operation modeling, simulations, and optimizations. The generic airport modeling framework consists of a set the components that are necessary for modeling the basic activities of airfield traffic operations. By using the multi-threading techniques, components are integrated into the proposed modeling framework. Unlike traditional sequential simulation model, this framework organizes simulation activities into four major groups which are: flight schedule, aircraft movement, time, and animation. Instead of using built-in control logic, the framework adapts an open system policy which gives the flexibility to the end users to incorporate the user-preferred control logic into the end models. Another purpose in this research is to provide a future mechanism to study airfield ground traffic automated control systems with Just-In-Time forecasting and model system performance in a real-time ATC environment. The proposed generic library could be implemented into a Internet/intranet ready application which can query real time information and provide real time advice to pilots and air traffic controllers. This study is one of a few current research projects that are of using multiple threading technique to study traffic operation problems. The proposed generic library is originally implemented with C++ and, in the final stage, with Java, a truly cross-platform object-oriented language. Application written in Java can run on most of the mainstream computer operating systems without modifications. Although the proposed library is for airfield traffic control system, it could also be extended into air traffic control system as well as advanced transportation system.

"First to Fight"
Marines have been in the forefront of every American war since the founding
of the Corps. They have carried out over 300 landings on foreign shores.
They have served everywhere, from the poles to the tropics. Their record of
readiness reflects pride, responsibility and challenge.
"Semper Fi"
That Marines have lived up to their motto, "Semper Fidelis" (Latin for
Always Faithful), as in Semper Fidelis - - Always faithful - - to God,
Country, and Corps. It is proven by the fact that there has never been a
mutiny among U.S. Marines. This motto was adopted about 1883. Before that,
there had been three mottoes, all traditional rather than official. The
first, "Fortitudine" (With Fortitude), appeared about 1812. The second, "By
Sea and by Land," was obviously a translation of the Royal Marines' "Per
Mare, Per Terram." Until 1848, the third motto was "To the Shores of
Tripoli," in commemoration of O'Bannon's capture of Derne in 1805. In 1848,
after the return to Washington of the Marine battalion which took part in
the capture of Mexico City, this motto was revised to "From the Halls of
Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli." The current Marine Corps motto is
shared with England's Devonshire Regiment.
"Devil Dogs"
In the Belleau Wood fighting in 1918, the Germans received a thorough
indoctrination in the fighting ability of the Marines. Fighting through
supposedly impenetrable woods and capturing supposedly untakeable terrain,
the persistent attacks, delivered with unbelievable courage soon had the
Germans calling Marines "Teufelhunde," referring to the fierce fighting dogs
of legendary origin. Urrrhhh Raaah!
"Esprit de Corps"
The "spirit" of a unit. This spirit is commonly reflected by all members. It
implies devotion and loyalty to the Marine Corps, with deep regard for
history, traditions and honor.
The Marines' long-standing nickname goes back to the leather stock or
neckpiece, which was part of the Marine uniform from 1775 to 1875. The
leather bands around their throats were intended to ensure that Marines kept
their heads erect.
"Uncommon Valor"
Refers to the victories in World War II, especially at Iwo Jima, the largest
all Marine battle in history. Admiral Nimitz's ringing epitome of Marine
fighting on Iwo Jima was applied to the entire Marine Corps in World War II:
"Uncommon valor was a common virtue."
The term "gyrene" is a jocular reference to Marines which was first used in
England as early as 1894. It was used in the United States around the time
of World War I. Its exact origin is unknown, but it did appear to have a
derogatory meaning in its early usage. It has been suggested that the term
may embody a reference to pollywog, a naval slang term for a person who has
not yet "crossed" (the equator), hence, a landlubber.
A slang term used by sailors as early as World War II to refer to members of
the Marine Corps, drawing the term from the resemblance of the Marine dress
blues uniform, with its high collar, to a Mason jar.
"Soldiers of the Sea"
A traditional and functional term for Marines, dating back to the British in
the 1600's.
"Once a
Marine, Always a Marine"
This truism is now the official motto of the Marine Corps League. The
origin of the statement is credited to a gung-ho Marine Corps master
sergeant, Paul Woyshner. During a barroom argument he shouted, "Once a
Marine, always a Marine!" MSgt. Woyshner was right. Once the title "U.S.
Marine" has been earned, it is retained. There are no ex-Marines or
There are
(1) active duty Marines
(2) retired Marines
(3) reserve Marines
(4) Marine veterans.
Nonetheless, once one has earned the title, he remains a Marine for life.
"Good night, Chesty, wherever you are"
This is an often-used tribute of supreme respect to the late and legendary
LtGen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC. Chesty! Without a doubt he was the
most outspoken Marine, the most famous Marine, the Marine who really loved
to fight, the most decorated Marine in the history of the Corps. Chesty
enlisted as a Private. Through incredible fortitude and tenacity he became
a living legend. He shouted battle orders in a bellow and stalked
battlefields as though impervious to enemy fire. Chesty rose to the rank of
Lieutenant General. He displayed an abiding love for the Magnificent
Grunts, especially the junior enlisted men who did the majority of the
sacrificing and dying, and utter contempt for all staff pogues of whatever
rank. During his four wars, he became the only Marine to be awarded the
Navy Cross five times. The Marines' Marine! "Goodnight, Chesty, wherever
you are."
"A Few Good Men"
On 20 March 1779 in Boston, Capt. William Jones, USMC, advertised for "a few
good men" to enlist in the Corps for naval duty. The term seemed ideally
suited for Marines, mainly because of the implication that "a few" good men
would be enough. This term has survived for over 200 years and has been
synonymous with U.S. Marines ever since

The petitioners present no evidence that setting a limit in any food would INCREASE the OVERALL safety of food.
Therefore, this comenter must respectfully OPPOSE the setting of any such limit -- the current requirement for the absence of this disease causing organism should be maintained.

I grew up the youngest of seven children on a nonworking farm outside of Denver, Colorado. t was like the sitcom Green Acres on our farm. Dad would milk the cow before putting on his business suit to drive to work, and Mom decorated the farmhouse in red velvet furniture, red-flocked wallpaper and smoked-mirror tile.
With both parents working, my crazy, colorful Scottish grandfather in his room down the hall yelling at the television set and my siblings all hiding from me, I learned to create my own entertainment. Besides being thrown from our fat pony named Lightning, I watched a lot of classic movie musicals like Oklahoma," Music Man and Valley of the Dolls. I loved all the "Fred and Ginger" movies. And who didn't want to be Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? I know my brother and I did!
I always new I wanted to be a performer, but was never sure what that meant. I didn't start taking dance until I was nine years old. Not being a quick study, and also having a tendency for foot cramps, made things difficult. Every time I pointed my toe, my foot would cramp up and flex! I danced more like Jerry Lewis than Cyd Cherese.
I guess you could say I started doing comedy at age 8. My parents would plan "family" vacations. Which basically meant they took a week off from work. They stayed home and sent us kids to Church Camp. Camp IDRAHAJE was an anagram for "I'd Rather Have Jesus." Our camp counselors were troubled teens ... nice. With a captive audience around a campfire we were to talk about being "saved." Instead, I got up and started telling dysfunctional family stories. It brought the house down. That was the last time they sent me to church camp.
My dad got promoted to a job in Washington state, so my mom retired early and moved the three of us remaining kids that were still at home. That's when I was introduced and fell in love with live theatre. I started out in the chorus doing shows at the local Peanut Gallery Theatre Company in Vancouver, Washington, not to be confused with Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver needed anyone, and I mean anyone, who was a girl and who could dance ... even a little ... even with foot cramps and flexed feet. Well, I was hooked. I even started doing shows across the bridge in Portland, Oregon. I played Frenchy in Grease and Val in A Chorus Line. You name it. Next stop Broadway! Well, maybe not ...
My first professional gig was doing a really bad club show in Tokyo, Japan. The club was called The New Penthouse and was in the basement. They called it "A Broadway Style Review!" I impersonated Marilyn Monroe singing, "I Want to be Loved by You" in Japanese. I even had an opportunity to do a number dressed like a Kabuki lion. When I asked my Japanese friends what they thought about the number, they said they thought Americans shouldn't do Kabuki.
From there, I went home, packed my bags and headed for Broadway! Well, actually Ravenna, Ohio. I got my first union job doing dinner theatre in an old grocery store. It all panned out though, after Ohio I got an amazing job touring Europe as a tap dancer in the show 42nd St. I can now ask for a beer in three different languages!
When I got back to New York, I stood in line with four hundred other girls and auditioned for Tommy Tune for Will Rogers Follies. I booked it! My first big job! One of 20 chorus showgirls! They needed understudies for one of the lead roles Zeigfeld's Favorite. I knew I didn't stand much of a chance being that the girl playing Z's Fav. Z was 6 feet tall and I was the runt of the litter at 5'7"! But Tommy Tune cast me as understudy anyway! When I thanked him, he said he gave it to me because I was so funny. I'll never forget it! Interesting enough, the 6-foot-tall Zeigfeld's Favorite I understudied was Leigh Zimmerman. She played Ula in The Producers here in Las Vegas last year.
While doing Will Rogers Follies across the country we did separate benefits variety shows for Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids. Our dance captain who organized them asked me to Emcee. I told him I knew he thought I was funny, but if I had to be, I didn't know if I could be ... if you know what I mean. Well, I found a new passion: stand-up comedy. After Will Rogers Follies I went back to New York. At that time, my brother (a hairdresser/actor) was cutting his friend's hair. That friend was Daryl Hammond, who is now on Saturday Night Live. My brother offered Daryl a free haircut if he would show me the ropes of stand-up. And he did. I trailed him from the Village comedy clubs to Caroline's Comedy Club on Broadway. Next thing you know I was doing stand-up at Caroline's. My highest highs and lowest lows. When you bomb ... you bomb aloneBut when you kill, it's all you and there is no better high! While doing comedy I got an agent, and was soon doing commercials for companies like Black & Decker and Sony, with rock stars like Steven Tyler. Soon after, I was doing straight plays. Then I was called to audition for Mamma Mia! and my life changed.
I was up for several different jobs, Martin Short's Broadway Show, a play on Broadway, a TV pilot and Mamma Mia! in Las Vegas. As you can imagine, Mamma Mia! was not the first job on my mind ... all I could think was, "Abba?" "A Musical?" "Really?" "Isn't that the group my sister used to listen to?" Every job fell by the way side but this one ... fate.
With mixed feelings I packed my bags and headed for Vegas. Yes! Abba! Really! And now I'm doing comedy every single night with two of the best comediennes I've ever worked with, Robin Baxter and Carol Linnea Johnson. And I'm not just blowing smoke either. They make me a better comedienne. I was only signed to do 6 months and now I've been here 2 1/2 years! The time has flown by because I get to play every night with great people. I think if you can do any show for that long, keep it fresh and still love it, it not only speaks for the show but who you are doing it with. I've learned so much from all the principals. People like Bob DuSold who are true vets from Broadway and keep you laughing and learning every night. I play the role of Tanya, Donna's best (upscale Louis Vuitton type) friend. I get the best number in the show as far as I'm concerned! I get to have a bunch of amazing boys dance around me and I get to push them around! It's a blast! The cast is great and so talented. While the songs are sung on stage by the principals, the chorus is working hard singing in vocal booths backstage. And when they are not dancing and singing on stage and off, they are busy doing quick clothing changes off stage.
The show couldn't go on without the amazing crew and stage management as well. They make sure we don't get hit by or fly off of any moving scenery. The prop department makes sure I have all my props when I'm running on at the last minute or fixing something if I break it. I sound a little high maintenance, don't I?
The wardrobe department is always there to repair my costumes. I can be really hard on them. My jewelry flies into the audience. One time I sat down in my spandex outfit and the zipper in the back popped all the way down my back. The wardrobe crew was there on the spot safety pinning me from top to bottom, right before my entrance. Every time I go to sit down after that everyone screams out "VICKI!... NO!"
And let's just talk about that sound department. Even after I accidentally dropped my body mic in the toilet… a couple times... they are still patient with me, and they make me sound great.
Without the crew we would be silent in the dark and naked. We'd also have bad hair! Couldn't do it without them!
Our band is, bar none, one of the best bands anywhere! The great thing about Vegas is we get some of the greatest musicians. They also do other gigs with Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Sante Fe and Hot Club Las Vegas. And some times they just go jam at the Dive Bar.
The cast and musical directors of the Vegas Broadway scene get to shine at something different as well. There is an evening at Liberace Museum called the "Songwriter's Showcase". A few musical directors started an evening where new writers and singers can perform their music. It's open to everyone and even veterans like Clint Holmes humbly try out new songs. That's where we can catch up with our theatre friends. We can also catch up with them when we are kicking their butts at softball.
I have to admit my first impression of Vegas was a little mixed. A lot of people come to Vegas to be who they're not… or maybe who they really are? They come to party hard. The kindergarten teachers dressed in super tight, super high skirts and super low tops...throwing-up out the window of a cab, and the bride who walks down the casino in her wedding dress, veil, and flip-flops. She has a cigarette in one hand and an empty drink cup in the other. Guys who look at you like you are a steak, medium rare. But then again, where else can you go to do that? Well, guys can do that anywhere! But where else can you go to be who you want to be and just cut loose? Vegas is one big party and that's why "Mamma Mia" does so well here. It's one big party!
Off the strip is a different story. The locals can be as tough as the summers! But once they get to know and trust you, they are friends for life. They will even put a note on your car saying "Check your license plate sweetie, looks like a bolt came out". The locals are used to people coming and going, so I think they wait to see if you are going to stick around awhile. They seem to be just as big of fans of "Mamma Mia" as the tourists. They come again and again and let you know what they think of your performance. I like them! Speaking of the summers though. Have you noticed there is no road kill in Las Vegas? Animals are like..."No way! I'm not going out there! It's too damn hot!"
I'm not a gambler, but my vice is SHOPPING! I hate to be a cliché but Vegas has the best shopping…Fashion Show Mall, Town Square, Forum Shops at Caesars. Show me Harry Winston! Tell me all about it!!! Where as a normal day for a performer would be a vocal lesson, dance or yoga class and then to the show, for me, it's a Starbucks latte and off to Fashion Show Mall.
However, in all seriousness, the show is on a raked stage and can wreak havoc on your body so we do have to take Pilates to keep our core strong and prevent injury.
Enough about work! The food in Vegas is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Who would have thought you could get such awesome sushi in a city that is landlocked? Landlocked by desert!
I love seeing our friends' Broadway shows. But I also love seeing shows like the Schintas that are classic Vegas. I love getting to see great comedians like Ron White and Kathy Griffin. And seeing Pink on the Beach at Mandalay Bay!
For me and my future, well, I'm working on my own comedy show. I'd love to do it in Vegas. This is where it's at!

Must Watch: Trailer for Our SXSW Fave The Promotion
by Alex Billington
May 8, 2008
Source: AOL
The first trailer for Steve Conrad's indie gem The Promotion has arrived. Both Ken and I saw this at the SXSW Film Festival in March and loved it! It is easily one of the funniest movies of the year that you won't forget by the end of the day and is destined to become a cult classic. Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly star as two assistant managers at a corporate grocery store both battling for the same job - the manager of a new grocery store soon to be opened. This two hit it off perfectly as competitive businessmen and they rival the chemistry of Peter Gibbons and Bill Lumbergh in Office Space. There is so much good humor in this that I can't stress enough how important it is you watch this trailer!
You can check out Ken's 8 out of 10 review, where he says that the film has "a great mix of drama and comedy that led to a final feel good moment at the end." I know I loved it and I hope enough of people make an effort to go check it out this summer - I guarantee you won't be let down!
Watch the first trailer for The Promotion:
The Promotion is both written and directed by screenwriter Steve Conrad, who wrote The Weather Man and The Pursuit of Happyness, and is making his directorial debut. The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March and is being distributed by The Weinstein Company's Third Rail Releasing. The Promotion currently arrives in theaters on June 6th this summer. The poster is featured below.

I've just booked a family holiday for weeks 3-4 post-op. It's only a 2hour flight which my clinic is happy with, and I've booked a hotel where I can basically lie around while my two boys have a lot of fun, so I think I've made it as easy as it can be. Does anyone have any experience or tips to share on travelling post tt?

Who's using the data? Urban bird feeding station study - Melbourne
My name is Chanaka Ruwandeniya and I am a current honours student at Monash University. My supervisor Alan Lill and I are about to conduct a project on urban bird feeding stations in backyards of Melbourne.
Supplementary feeding of wild birds by the general public is extremely prevalent in Australia, as it is in the northern hemisphere. However, attitudes to this practice differ markedly in the two locations, with active promotion by conservation bodies in the USA and UK but unofficial discouragement in Australia. There are potential benefits from this practice for both the birds (e.g. enhanced overwinter survival, bolstering threatened populations) and the people providing the food (e.g. contact with nature, enhanced environmental awareness for city-dwellers). However, there are also potentially negative effects, such as the spread of disease, generating nutritional imbalances and dependency, fostering the welfare of exotic species and enhancing aggression. Currently it is difficult to work out how these potential benefits and costs balance out because there is a lack of reliable empirical data, particularly for Australia. One thing is certain, the motivation to feed wild birds is strong and people will not easily be discouraged from this practice. Therefore we need to conduct more research that will help us to weigh up the benefits and costs more realistically. Conceivably people could be educated to feed wild birds in a manner that results in an optimal trade-off between the positive and negative aspects of this behaviour.
We aim to determine what species occur at feeding stations and observe the nature of any interactions which go on in order to gain an understanding of how important these stations may be to biodiversity and the local bird populations in general. We will be using data collected from the Backyard Birds surveys over the past 8 years and we are also looking for people in the Melbourne region who feed birds regularly who will allow us to access their gardens to observe birds at the feeder several times over a few months. The research will begin in April and conclude in August 2012. If you have a bird feeding station in your garden, or feed birds in your backyard on a regular basis we would love for you to get involved. If you are interested in allowing me to observe your birds please contact me on my details given below.

Simply amazing. A work of greatness.
Extremely realistic chorus, awesome score. The computerized harp sounds extremely nice, and the chorus is peaceful. The strings are great.
I always say, "Everything online has a dark side".
The music *lacks a musical climax*, but through the song it keeps me suspended in a wistful world. Lacking a climax, it fits the game that it is used in.
This music, although peaceful, has been chosen for an apocolyptic game. This makes the game sound sad and deadly, but alone it is very peaceful. The game is made good because of this music, and i love it.

The Shumlin administration is hunkering down on its plan to cut benefits programs.
Officials say both of the proposed changes — cutting $16.7 million from the state's EITC to scale up child care subsidies and putting a cap on the length of time people can receive welfare benefits — will remove disincentives that have kept Vermonters out of the workplace. Officials are also making the case that the other programs comprising Vermont's social safety net will cushion the impact of the cuts.
The plan, depicted in two particular line items of the governor's FY 2014 budget, has drawn ire from lawmakers, advocate groups and the public at large.
Jeb Spaulding, secretary of administration, told reporters at a press briefing on Monday that the state must make "tough decisions" in the current budget climate.
"He [Gov. Shumlin] was willing to talk about reallocation and we are asking the public and Legislature to be able to talk about the fact that we need to make tough decisions about where our money is going to give us the biggest bang," Spaulding said.
Doug Racine, secretary of the Agency of Human Services, said the reallocation of funds from EITC to child-care subsidies is unquestionably a "tradeoff."
Racine explained why the EITC was singled out as the source of reallocated funds. He pointed to the "volatility" of the credit — 34 percent of people who received a credit in 2012 did not receive one in 2011 — for this reason, he said, it is an unreliable supplement to people's income.
Racine said while the state has shelled out an increasing amount of EITC money — from $17.3 million in 2003 to $25.8 million in 2011 — while child-care subsidies have stayed the same. The increase was driven by federal policy changes (the state EITC is pegged at 32 percent of the federal credit).
"The point is that we in a way have backed into a priority, which says EITC is more important than child care," Racine said.
If the cut takes place, recipients stand to lose $377 on average, and the maximum amount a household would lose is $1,200.
The governor's other proposal is to trim $6 million from the Reach Up program by putting a three-year cap on benefits. (The cap can be extended for two additional non-consecutive years.) Currently 6,400 households, totaling about 16,000 individuals, participate in Reach Up. The program covers roughly 50 percent of the cost of people's housing and basic needs — $660 per month on average. The cap would take effect Oct. 1, immediately kicking 1,188 people off the program. The median time spent on Reach up is 18 months. About 10,000 Vermont children are indirect recipients of welfare benefits.
David Yacovone, commissioner of the Department for Children and Families, said the lack of a termination date for welfare benefits can be conducive to complacency. The time limits on welfare benefits, he said, will be a "powerful incentive" for people to find employment.
Yacovone made assurances, however, that certain categories of people would be exempted. People with disabilities, child-only cases, and people participating in Reach Up's post-secondary education could all receive benefits past the designated deadline. Parents under the age of 18 would also be excused from the cap. There are approximately 800 people who have been on the program for longer than three years but would qualify for an exemption under these standards.
The director of Reach Up, Paul Dragon, said people who have been on program for more than three years are up against legitimate challenges — they face an average of 3.7 barriers to employment, whereas the average Reach Up participant faces about three. Barriers include lack of transportation, insufficient housing and unmet child-care needs.
Racine and Yacovone suggested that other components of the state's social safety net — subsidized housing, health care benefits, fuel assistance, child-care subsidies, food stamps — could address these barriers. The cap "puts the pressure on us to look at those individuals and say, you know maybe Reach Up is not the right place for them to be, and there is something that better meets their needs." For others, Racine added, "a deadline is going to be the best incentive."
The investments Shumlin has made to other programs will largely offset the cuts to EITC and Reach Up, Yacovone said. "This is the first governor who has ever proposed making sure that kids on free and reduced lunch have their lunches paid. This is the first governor to my knowledge who has ever recommended sustainable state funding for the fuel assistance program. … This is the first governor who's ever said I want to have a Vermont rental subsidy program like the federal Section 8 housing program … and this is the first governor who has ever made a really significant investment in early childhood education …"

Re your reporting of PETA's complaint against Carriages for Hire ("Death of Jerry the horse sparks PETA complaint," Tribune, Oct. 23):
Salt Lake City investigated Jerry's illness and death, published the report on its website finding no abuse of animals (to the contrary, good animal welfare, according to veterinarians) and no problems or violations per the Salt Lake City police.
On the basis of that report, the City Council appropriately voted to allow the carriage business to continue. They also voted against Councilman Charlie Luke's proposed revisions, since no wrongdoing or animal abuse occurred.
Despite the facts, PETA continues to harass a carriage business that practices good animal welfare. Repeating false allegations will not make them come true. Shame on PETA for spending donated funds harassing people who take good care of animals, instead of looking for legitimate animal welfare issues in need of attention.
And shame on the Tribune for continuing to act as PETA's press agent in perpetuating false information.
