ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

As you all know Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy was buried in Arlington Cemetary on Saturday. But did you know he almost caused a "brokered" Dem Convention in 1980? Kennedy came into the Democratic convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City with 1,225 delegates to Carter's 1,981 and 122 uncommitted. Kennedy's only chance to wrest the nomination from Carter, who had enough delegates to win, was to pass an "open rule" motion. Read the rest. As we know from the 2008 election the gap between HRC and BO was much closer going into the convention, despite the efforts of Michigan and Florida and the Dems magically awarding Obama delegates from Michigan out of thin air. Just sayin'. So, on this somber weekend, YOU CAN THROW BRICKS! Start with NEW This George's Roundtable member LIZ CHENEY and throw them hard enough to bounce off and hit GEORGE WILL too. Throw them REALLY HARD and bounce them off to DARTH CHENEY on FAKE NEWS. The usual suspects you've seen and heard all week will blanket the other shows. Of course check out the BTV Alerts and Updates and the alternative voices we have every week. The Brick TeeVee crew wonders what liberal Senator will take up Ted's place as the "Liberal Lion"? Sheldon Whitehouse? Sherrod Brown? Bernie Sanders? An unknown to us now who breaks through? Rest in peace now, Teddy. We're still here. Fighting. Like you did.

MORE INFO HERE: What's the Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations? The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause othe Gulf War syndrom in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. (3). You can find this table of FDA analyses from the Gulf War lots on The Military Vaccine Resource Directory website (4) These values were confirmed by Prof. R. F. Garry (5) before the House of Representatives. Prof Garry was the man to discover the connection between the Gulf War syndrome and squalene. According to his findings, the Gulf War syndrome was caused by squalene, which was banned by a Federal Court Judge in 2004 from the Pentagon´s use. (6) ~ As seen on p. 6 of this EMEA document (7), the Pandremix vaccine contains 10,68 mg of squalene per 0,5 ml. This corresponds to 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than in (4). There is any reason to believe that this will make people sick to a much higher extent than in 1990/91. This appears murderous to me.~~ So far the use of squalene has been banned by the FDA in the US according to Der Spiegel (9). However, this may not last long (10). ~ My advice: If you are forced to be vaccinated against the harmless swine flu (H1N1) – demand a vaccination with the AstraZeneca nasal vaccine MedImmune (8)– thereby avoiding squalene side effects. -Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen @ Global Research, August 20, 2009 clapping.gif

BRICK TEEVEE UPDATE!


We reported about Whole Foods CEO's John Mackey and his WSJ op-ed on health care a few weeks ago. Now Yahoo Finance reports (last Tuesday), "The CtW Investment Group, a part of the Change to Win federation of unions that advocates on behalf of workers' investments in pension funds, said in a statement that it is calling on the Whole Foods board to remove Mackey as chairman and find a new CEO. "Mr. Mackey attempted to capitalize on the brand reputation of Whole Foods to champion his personal political views, but has instead deeply offended a key segment of Whole Foods consumer base," CtW Investment Group's Executive Director Bill Patterson said in a statement." Well, THAT didn't take long! Go to BOYCOTT WHOLE FOODS for more info.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will stop by to tell us what it was like to work with the liberal lion. Eric Boehlert from Media Matters will be with us to talk about some of the craziest lies coming from the radical right about healthcare reform, and he’ll help us determine what is fact, and what is fiction. We’ve also got investigative journalist John Nichols with us to talk about the need for Eric Holder, as well as president Obama, to get tough and actually prosecute the individuals responsible for torturing detainees. And comedian Matt Filipowicz will be stopping by to help us run through the news behind the news. - fcousins posted on August 28, 2009 10:26

    Stacy Summary: What say ye? I note in the ‘emergency control’ over internet story, this paragraph: “Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to “direct the national response to the cyber threat” if necessary for “the national defense and security.” The White House is supposed to engage in “periodic mapping” of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies “shall share” requested information with the federal government. (”Cyber” is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)“ So, the emergency powers would extend to personal computers as well as the actual internet? Bill would give president emergency control of Internet @ c|net Barney Frank says HR1207 will pass @ youtube

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Our focus this week was going to be on Astroturf® organizations (created out of whole cloth with funding from prominent corporate elite structures in pharma, oil, energy and more) who are trying boldly to disrupt policy debates on a host of issues, but it was not easy to sift through the vast maze of lobbyists and websites. Corporomedia via Reuters actually got ONE story out there The summer of Astroturf which tells us, "The Public Relations Society of America equates it with the use of "front groups," which the above organizations accuse one another of being. (The trade organization eschews the more popular term "because Astroturf is a registered trademark.") The society, noted its Chairman and CEO Michael Cherenson, bans the practice - to no evident effect." Please comment and provide links to these so-called "Astroturf®" organizations for a future Brick TeeVee Special. Meanwhile the WH & Pentagon send the HumVee out with Joint Chiefs Admiral MIKE MULLEN and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and former Lieutenant (3-star) General KARL EIKENBERRY to Meet the David and State of the King to prop up the Afghanistan "surge", a war now in its 8th year with no strategy (other than protecting oil/gas pipelines aka PIPELINEISTAN). DOCTOR HOWARD DEAN goes to Face The Bob to take on Big Pharma Stooge CHUCK GRASSLEY and Blue Dog Apologist KENT CONRAD. Fake News Sunday tries to look "bi-partisan" with New Dem ARLEN SPECTRE. Throw bricks at JOE LIEBERMAN and DICK LUGAR on State of the King. Or throw bricks at dinosaur JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN on This Snufagopolis. Your choice! Give a great big "welcome back" to GEORGE WILL on ABC's Roundtable where The KrugMan and ROBERT RIECH rib Will on his "extended" vacation (not unlike teabaggers' favorite targets those damned Public School Union Teachers getting all summer off!) Of course there's plenty of SUBSTANCE in the BTV Alerts and our regulars at AntiWar and Max Keiser. Seems the staff at Ring of Fire are on vacation so no new guest list this week so just tune in to the rebroadcast. The Brick TeeVee crew's garden is experiening a bumper crop of zucchini and huge loaves of tasty zucchini bread with our www.JustCoffee.coop "The Progressive Century Blend" morning brew! Yummy! Our late growing season is finallly letting cukes and tomatoes get going (despite raids by local deer and other critters) and some of our hot pepper plants have yielded nice peppers, so the BTV Salsa is still on! Hope your garden is productive this year, too!

AS the Congressional Recess gets into full swing with "birthers", "deathers" and various right-wing astroturfers shouting and yelling at town hall meetings across the country, in comes Whole Foods CEO John Mackey with a WSJ op-ed full of the same right-wing talking points (lies, mostly) the astroturfers spew. Ellis Weiner breaks the whole thing down point-by-point in HuffPo Half-Assed From Whole Foods: "In other words, just as patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel, so "a careful reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution" is the last, and sometimes first, refuge of the wing-nut. These people must be told, over and over (although they already know it; it's not as though they're arguing in good faith) that we can have the kind of society we choose to have." So get yer bricks ready for Astroturfer Supreme DICK ARMEY on Meet the David as NBC News tries to fill the gap with this "health care special". Will David confront all the disinformation spread by FreedomWorks? Look for RACHEL MADDOW and CHARLIE "Where's my General?" RANGEL too. This Snufagoplois goes with SEBELIUS, SPECTOR and HATCH while GEORGE WILL is still MIA from the roundtable. Face the Bob features ROBERT GIBBS from the WH and two former somethingorothers. SEBELIUS gets the WH Limo to take her to State of the King, joining a cast of shouting thousands, plus that loveable political odd couple of MATALIN and CARVILLE. Fake News Sunday sez: "We'll get 'just the facts' when we're joined by" Sen. KENT CONRAD AND RICHARD SHELBY (I swear that's what it said on the FNS website!). Ring of Fire has Bobby and Mike back with guests MATT TAIBBI and DAVID NIEWART while AntiWar Radio has a great interview with CHRIS FLOYD. Max Keiser gets in his digs on France 24 and there's more good stuff in the Brick TeeVee alerts, too. The Brick TeeVee Crew is saddened by the news of guitar innovator LES PAUL passing away.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

AS Congress heads for Summer Break Sotomayor is in, Cash for Clunkers gets an extension and Health Care For All gets kicked to the curb while Tea-baggers, Birthers and Deathers obfuscate and scream "Keep government out of my health care" at various town hall meetings while they gratefully accept Medicaid and VA Benefits Health Care! The sheer hypocrisy and idiocy of these people make our heads spin. Paul Krugman explains in The Town Hall Mob, "There was a telling incident at a town hall held by Representative Gene Green, D-Tex. An activist turned to his fellow attendees and asked if they “oppose any form of socialized or government-run health care.” Nearly all did. Then Representative Green asked how many of those present were on Medicare. Almost half raised their hands." Watch Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY9) push back HERE, HERE and HERE. GREAT! (See GritTV below). Look for DOCTOR HOWARD DEAN poking holes in NEWT "Contract ON America" Gingrich's silly musings. Meanwhile there will be plenty of discussion on the "other" war in Afghanistan with GENERAL JAMES JONES and Armed Services Chair CARL LEVIN plus his committee counterpart LINDSEY GRAHAM on Face the Bob. General Jones then takes the NSA Humvee to Meet the David and Faux News Sunday. Of course, the entire Middle East, the 'Stans and Africa may be discussed with U.N. Ambassidor Dr. SUSAN RICE on State of the King. Check out DAVID BENDER hosting Ring of Fire Radio with an interview about "The Family" with JEFF SHARLET. Max Keiser speaks with Alex Jones about The Fed while Antiwar Radio has an interview with Daniel Ellsberg about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Plenty of EXCELLENT stuff in this week's BTV Alerts Section, too, well worth your time to watch/listen. The Brick TeeVee crew is settling in for Dog Days of Summer as well. Although our garden has been eaten by critters large (deer) and small (ground hogs) we have an abundance of zucchini and the hot peppers are doing good. The tomato plants (deers' favorites) keep making a come-back so we hope to make salsa by the end of the month! We hope your gardens are doing well, too!

As the MSM is always lame, they, of course, have hardly covered this story; but, unfortunately, much of the blogosphere I read seems to also ignore the issue . . . something I think that has to do with their belief that talking about the Fed or the Constitution is the preserve of conspiracy theorists and/or the right wing.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

The Brick TeeVee crew is too verklempt to write much about the talkies this week as The Tribe officially began massive rebuilding with the trades of reigning Cy Young Winner Cliff Lee to the Phillies and catcher Victor Martinez to the Red Sox for a ham sandwich and a subway token (aka a bunch of "can't miss" minor leaguers). Also missing from the Opening Day lineup was Ryan Garko (Giants), Mark DeRosa (Cardinals) and Ben Francisco (with Lee to Philly). Ironically, tonight was Victor Martinez Bobblehead Night and the induction of another great Tribe catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. into the Indians Hall of Fame. As Alomar was driven around the field for a "victory lap" on the back of a Mustang Convertible right past our seats, one of the Crew yelled out "Hey Sandy! We could use a catcher like you right now!" and Sandy turned, pointed at us, winked and waved as the car rolled off the field. That's baseball, I guess. And to add salt to the wound, we just ordered new Tribe tags for the BTV-Mobile that say "C LEE 31" last Monday. Best of luck to all our former Tribesmen. Anyone for a Phillies-Red Sox World Series?
