ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

DEATHLY HALLOWS Well just NEVER MIND about TORTURE and WAR CRIMES. That was LAST WEEK. The White House Limo gets Secretary of State HILLARY CLINTON and swings by the Pentagon to get Joint Chief MIKE MULLEN, the former on Face the Bob, Meet the David and FAKE SNOOZE and the latter on This Amanpout & State of the Candy, no doubt to explain how the U.S. is "winning hearts and minds" in Afghanistan. State of Candy also rounds up TSA biggie John Pistole, the "Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration" (TSA) (Minister of Floo Network. -Ed.) and "Florida Rep. John Mica, the ranking member on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure" (Floo Network critic. -Ed.) No doubt you've seen too many videos of TSA GROPING by now. As we always recommend: FOLLOW THE MONEY. We join DailyPaul.com in progress TSA's Nude Scanners, Former Homeland Security Head Chertoff, and How Our Government Works Michael Chertoff, while he was the Head of Homeland Security under Bush, advocated and pushed for installation and implementation of these new full-body scanners at our airports. Once he was out of "public service", Chertoff's consulting company (Read: Lobbying Company) landed as a client (Surprise!), Rapsican, the company that makes the scanners. He is now a much richer person, I'm sure. There are multiple links to info about Chertoff and the scanner company. No! Happy Holiday Traveling! We think everyone should show up in their bath robes and fuzzy bunny slippers. As a Public Service we remind you of the Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Meanwhile the Flat Earth MILLIONAIRES in the House decided all those UNEMPLOYED SLACKERS should stop sucking off the "government teet". In a 258-154 vote on H.R.6419 - Emergency Unemployment Compensation Continuation Act the US House fails to extend jobless benefits Even as the US Congress was refusing to provide aid to the long-term unemployed—a total of 6.2 million people in October, according to the Labor Department—Wall Street was staging another spectacle of unvarnished greed. All of the major US indexes soared in response to General Motors’ $20 billion initial public stock offering and signs that the European Union and the International Monetary Fund are about to loan Ireland tens of billions of euros to insure the investments of major banks in the country’s failing banking system, in return for assurances that the Irish government will impose a new round of savage austerity measures on the working class. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 173 points, an increase of nearly 1.6 percent. Well, there are laws then there DIFFERENT LAWS for those interested in TREASON: Eric Cantor Assures Netanyahu the GOP Majority Will Undermine Obama on Israel but in fine form Cantor Recants on Netanyahu Pledge no doubt to save his ass: Of course, Cantor was just being honest. Although he does oppose virtually all of President Obama's policies (he's a Republican and that is what Republicans do), he supports 100% of Israeli policies. And although an extreme partisan domestically, when it comes to Israel, he supports whichever government is in power. He believes in the right to criticize this government, just not that one. Cantor's mistake was not telling Prime Minister Netanyahu what everyone knows is true anyway, but telling the world what he said. Lastly, we hope you caught Max Keiser's CRASH JP MORGAN BUY SILVER campaign from last week! Read his 500 Dollar Silver Manisfesto Go buy one or two ounces (or more at this bargain-basement price!) of physical silver to support Max's initiative! Go to Max's website to see all the "BUY SILVER" videos too! The Brick TeeVee crew enjoyed "The Deathly Hallows Part One" on a midnight-full-moon showing. Four 'plexes SOLD OUT in our neighborhood and no doubt "The Deathly Hallows Part One" will set yet another box office record. "I open at the close." Direct your Muggle activism to The Harry Potter Alliance. "Expelliarmus!"

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    This Week on Ring of Fire Radio! November 19th, 2010
    • Stepping into the Ring of Fire this week: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who will discuss the growing problem of home foreclosures in America, and he’ll tell us what he is doing to help solve this epidemic.
    • The brilliant and controversial author, Sam Harris, surveys the topography of right and wrong in his provocative new book, “The Moral Landscape,” – and you’ll be amazed at what he’s discovered.
    • Author Frank Schaeffer will give us the inside story on how the corporatist wing of the GOP managed to convince evangelical voters that major corporations are actually living the words of Jesus Christ better than political candidates.
    • And author Ari Berman will be here to talk about how the Democratic Party has abandoned the great organizing campaigns that Howard Dean crafted over the last few years, and why we won’t be able to win elections if we don’t reconstruct it.
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Republicans Digging Their Own Grave The GOP wants to ban earmarks in Congress, while extending the trillion-dollar tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. They don’t seem to realize that earmark projects are already fully funded, and that they help create local jobs and businesses throughout America. Mike Papantonio and Ed Schultz talk about how the GOP will self destruct under their own proposals.
    • VIDEO! Midterm Elections Demonstrate Need for Revolution This year’s midterm election results didn’t come as a surprise to many people, but what is surprising is that the Tea Party Republicans were able to convince so many people to vote against their own interests. What’s even worse is that President Obama has now decided that instead of fighting the GOP majority, he’s going to just go along with them and let their disastrous economic and social policies be resurrected. It’s becoming clear that average US citizens have no allies in our federal government, so the question now is “what do we do?” Mike Papantonio talks with blogger and author David DeGraw, who says that the first step we can take in reclaiming America is to educate ourselves and others about what is really happening in our country.

    Gold porn king Jim Sinclair: “This is Late 1979, Gold Will Rise Violently” by maxkeiser READ This is really the first time since we came off of the high, that it’s starting to show a character of wanting to make a new high. @ kingworldnews.com
    $500 Silver & Imminent Price Explosion! Max Keiser (500 dollar silver) by maxkeiser MK: JP Morgan also holds the largest derivatives positions of any banks, at $69 Trillion (not 1.5 trillion that I mention in my conversation with Alex), according to the US OCC. Thus, it is likely that JP Morgan also holds the largest short position in silver derivatives, too, as a matter of course, since they dominate derivatives trading in general. So, to them, a $100 billion short position in silver would be “chump change” compared to their other derivatives positions, and may, in actual fact, be a part of a larger overall strategy to maintain the value of their other derivatives, (including the US dollar) to keep interest rates low.
    It is the buy one ounce of silver drive. If every person in America bought just one ounce of physical silver (current spot price is at $26.06), it would put a massive squeeze on the banks, and force them to cover and end the manipulation by maxkeiser READ The buy one ounce of physical silver drive @ examiner.com

The price of silver has been stable in the past few days, but if the US official precious metal seller is to be trusted, this will not last long. According to the US Mint, sales of 1-ounce American Eagle silver coins are headed for the strongest month since at least May, Bloomberg reports.” READ US Mint Reports Soaring November Month-To-Date Silver Coin Sales Surpass 2010 High Following Massive Rush Into Precious Metal @ zerohedge

    Guest Post – The Giant Cover Up by Michael Krieger "An end to “banking as we know it” is fine with us. The “banking” in today’s Western economies is simply a monopoly-distribution point for the dissemination of fiat currency. Central banks have got to distribute money through banks because the alternative – simply distributing it to people – would reveal the scam for what it is. By filtering the money-printed-from-nothing through banks, the process retains a mysterious quality. It is also rendered more complex, which is necessary when one is promoting a Ponzi scheme. Finally, bank distribution allows for a debt add-on that further controls the process. The situation is incredibly destructive, ruinous and benefits, essentially, on a very people who are the most direct beneficiaries of central bank funding stream." – The Daily Bell, Staff Report [Read more...]
