ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!Devastation from the earthquake and its aftershocks are enormous in Haiti and the money, releif and aid are, well, trickling in as the infrastructure is badly damaged and the majority of the manpower U.S. military can provide in aid is half a world away. President Bi-Partisanshippy figured Big Dawg and GHWB did such a bang-up job on the Tsunami Relief after the Indian Ocean Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 that he figured what better than another Bush-Clinton Bi-Partisan relief effort? Who remembers "Heckofa Job Brownie" and the fine "aid" and "relief" that then-President GWB did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (including mercenaries from Blackwater) while on vacation? How's that rebuilding going NOLA? As a reminder we tap Naomi Klien's excellent list of the Disaster Capitalist Agenda Items from back then in Pro-Free-Market Ideas for Responding to Hurricane Katrina and High Gas (This list appeared in an email sent by Rep. Paul Teller on September 13, 2005. We urge you to print this and see how many of these "goals" are met in Haiti in the coming months and years.) Don't think for ONE MINUTE Disaster Capitalists don't have their "playbook" open right now: from all over the world Disaster Capitalists are getting their dibs in diguised as "donations" to get a toe-hold in Haiti. So it's no surprise these two ex-presidents will conduct interviews to all the mainstream beltway pundits. Dubya and Big Dawg will appear from the same Royal Palace Room for interviews with This Snufugopolis, Press the Flesh, Face the Bob and State of the King. Following on their heels will be USAID Admin RAJIV SHAH and SOUTHCOM Three-Star KEN KEEN on the same, minus Snuf and add Fake Newz Sunday. Randall Robinson, founder and past president of TransAfrica, reminds us "Of course, President Bush was responsible for destroying Haitian democracy in 2004, when he and American forces abducted President Aristide and his wife, taking them off to Africa, and they are now in South Africa. President Clinton has largely sponsored a program of economic development that supports the idea of sweatshops. Haitians in Haiti today make 38 cents an hour. They don’t make a high enough wage to pay for their lunch and transportation to and from work. But this is the kind of economic program that President Clinton has supported. I think that is sad, that these two should be joined in this kind of effort. It sends, I think, the wrong kind of signal. But that is not what we should focus on now. We should focus on saving lives. But in the last analysis, I hope that American media will not just continue to—the refrain of Haiti being the poorest country in the western hemisphere, but will come to ask the question, why?" See BTV Alerts below for more of this interview and a NEW interview with NAOMI KLEIN on the Disaster Capitalist agenda. Speaking of the Bush Dynasty, see Peter B Collins interview with RUSS BAKER, author of Family of Secrets and AntiWar Radio's interview with DAHR JAMAL plus BARNEY FRANK on Ring of Fire Radio while Max Keiser has some good reporting on President Bi-Partisanshippy's new tax on the "too-big-to-fail" bonuses. In short MORE NEWS in the BTV Alerts and our regular lib/prog outlets than you will see/hear on teevee on the Sunday Morning Gasbags. The Brick TeeVee Crew managed the Mid-West Deep Freeze without the benefit of their trusty 40-year-old snow-thrower (in the shop for minor repairs) by shoveling early and often and kept warm imbibing all the spirits left over from the holidays. The NOLA Saints and Indy Colts move on to their respective Conference Championship games next weekend. Will it be the Bolts vs. the Colts? Sanits vs. Vikings? Meanwhile MLB pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training and NASCAR opens its season at Daytona in a mere four weeks. Shootout on Feb 6 and Daytona Duel on Feb 11. Stay warm, donate to your favorite Haiti cause if you can, or like GWB sez "I know a lot of Americans want to send blankets and water," Bush said with a knowing nod, looking at the cameras: "Just send your cash." Some things never change, do they?

CLEMENCY FOR BIRKENFELD
Support Clemency Campaign For Bradley Birkenfeld @ National Whistleblowers Center
On January 8, 2010, UBS whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld surrendered himself to US authorities and began serving a 40-month federal prison sentence. Each day Mr. Birkenfeld remains in jail is another step backwards in the fight against corruption. Mr. Birkenfeld deserves to be commended for courageously stepping forward and reporting the illegal banking practices of UBS. Instead, he has lost his freedom. Mr. Birkenfeld's voluntary disclosures have led to:
* The agreement between the United States and UBS AG for the payment of $780,000,000.00 in fines and penalties.
* The creation of an IRS amnesty program, under which 14,700 people have come forward and admitted to illegal, secret bank accounts.
* The recovery of billions of taxpayer dollars by the IRS.
* The shut down of the entire $20 billion UBS program that existed to solicit and encourage wealthy Americans to hide their money in secret, offshore accounts.
TAKE ACTION! Request a Presidential Pardon for Bradley Birkenfeld! CLICK NOW!
