House passes $636 Billion$ defense bill
The Hill

The House on Thursday bucked President Barack Obama’s veto threats and overwhelmingly approved a $636 billion Pentagon spending bill for fiscal 2010.
The bill, passed on a 400-30 vote, does meet Obama’s demand to cap the F-22 fighter jet program, something he personally lobbied for. But the measure still contains funding for two programs that have drawn veto threats from the administration.
In particular, the White House this week threatened to veto the bill over $560 million for an alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as well as $485 million for new helicopters to fly the president on short trips from the White House. The Obama administration did not request funding for either program.
House Panel Reaches Deal on Health-Care Bill

Published: July 31, 2009
WASHINGTON — The chairman of a pivotal House committee announced Friday that he had reached an agreement with other Democrats that would allow the panel to approve sweeping health legislation later in the day.
The chairman, Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, said the agreement supplements a deal struck Wednesday with the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of fiscally conservative Democrats on his panel, the Energy and Commerce Committee.
To avoid cutting subsidies for low-income people, Mr. Waxman said, Democrats would find additional savings elsewhere in the bill.
Representative Diana DeGette, Democrat of California, said the Blue Dog deal would hold down costs. But she said, "It was paid for on the backs of people who cannot afford health insurance," so liberals raised concerns.

A Letter From Obama



Well folks, did you get your letter asking for donations from the grass roots? A letter that shows you were obviously profiled before it was sent to you. $35 is what was suggested as a donation from me, which makes sense because I'm retired and on Social Security. I also am on Medicare, which, along with medigap insurance, has proven adequate to my needs. It is the young folks, my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids that concern me. Medicare is run by the government, so why not the same for everybody. Universal Healthcare is what is needed. The overall cost is less and the coverage, on the average, is better.
So, yeh, I'm grassroots, but I ain't donating one red cent, and you can put that in your profile!
Here's a handy link to Youtube, where you can voice your opinion on the Obama Health care Plan.

Michael Hayden, NSA & 911

Several current and former agents within the National Security Agency (NSA), speaking on condition of anonymity, have told the New York Times that the spy agency likely monitors millions of e-mail communications and telephone calls made by Americans. The new revelations follow the disclosure in April that the NSA’s monitoring of domestic e-mail traffic broke the law in 2008 and 2009.
I won't include a link to this, but if you want read the whole thing, just be sure your virus control program is cranked up before googling the following title...
Hayden and the NSA- the most ignored "9/11 connection"?
The following is copy-pasted from 911review.org...
A 'rant' based on research, compiled between 2001 and 2006, PART 1
by ewing2001
Gen. Michael V. Hayden, currently Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence
has also served as Commander of the Air Intelligence Agency
and as Director of the Joint Command and Control Warfare Center.
But more important, he was also former head of the NSA (March 1999 - April 2005).
The role of the NSA regarding 9/11, and ironically also the 9/11 truth 'community',
is consequently dismissed and ignored by many '9/11 truthseekers'.
Apparently because some particular '9/11 authors'
and self appointed '9/11 activist leaders'
distracted too much with 'CIA, Cheney and the Pentagon'.
It was always clear, why.
To also delay or distract from all physical evidence, based on military operations,
scripted by the NSA and their private contractors.

The NSA, but also the NASA had their eyes not only on the 9/11 "plotline"
but also on the "military operation" of 9/11.
More closely than any other U.S. Government Agency.
The National Security Agency (NSA) has traditionally influenced
and been a very early and sophisticated user of the highest performance
of commercial computer, storage, and networking systems.
That includes also the Internet and the internet "daisy committees" of the NSA.
These are unidentified online trolls, which nicknames share different I.P. addresses,
though only impostering 'one and the same user'.
However this "user", represented with a nickname
is also able to post 24/7 on particular discussion boards, apparently without any sleep.
The NSA can also basically login and monitor all important databases of the U.S.,
especially aviation databases.
Among them the National Flight Database (NFD).
Current data elements included are:
Airports and Heliports,
Standard Terminal Arrival Procedures (STARs),
GPS and RNAV (GPS) or Runways for airports that have a SIAP coded in the NFD.
Would the NSA 'log in' on the morning on Sep11th?
Sure they would.
That's why they also know, that the BTS database of the FAA already proves,
that "AA77" and "AA11" did not exist on the morning of 9/11.
The NSA knew all alleged passengers on the morning of Sep11th.
They know this faster than the FBI or CIA.
They know which plane does exist and which doesn't.
They also know in real time, what really happened in NYC, Shanksville and
at the Pentagon, because of less stress of 'competence'.
In other words, the NSA are important part of the perpetrators who 'did 9/11'.
Part of the rest of the story

Who is Nick Scopetta?

Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta was named the 2009 Man of the Year by the FDNY’s Columbia Association on June 19 at the group’s 75th Annual Scholarship Dinner Dance at Russo’s on the Bay in Queens.
Nicholas Scoppetta, Commissioner for the Administration for Children's Services in the Giuliani administration, was appointed as New York City's 31st Fire Commissioner by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on December 30, 2001.
The same Nicholas Scoppetta, (actually Nicholas Scarpetta), that, along with mayor Michael Bloomberg, announced the newly created FDNY Terrorism Preparedness Taskforce on Sept. 3, 2002.
The FDNY Emergency Medical Service, which is not so compliant to authority, has nothing good to say about Scarpetta, rather than... "He should be in front of a jury, not getting an award."

We must keep in mind though that the Fire Commissioner is small potatoes compared to the other members of the FDNY Terrorism Preparedness Taskforce. The Taskforce will examine and evaluate the FDNY's terrorism preparedness capabilities and will comprise a panel of leading nationally and internationally renowned experts on terrorism, including: Gregory H. Canavan, a nuclear physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory; Margaret Hamburg, a former New York City Health Commissioner; Dr. Joshua Lederberg, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology; Daniel Nigro, Chief of Department for the FDNY; and Shabtai Shavit, a former Director of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad. Following the announcement, Mr. Woolsey and Commissioner Scoppetta joined FDNY chief officers and personnel in a visit to the quarters of Hazardous Materials Unit 1 and Squad Company 288 in Queens, for a presentation on the units' responsibilities, capabilities, and needs.

US Blows up 300 tons of Afghan bagle seeds
Hmm, looks like Monsanto & USAID are making significant progress in bringing about, their signature program, the "Green Revolution", to Afghasnistan and Pakistan. I can't help but wonder, though, why they didn't just compost all those seeds so the soil would be a little easier to spade. Oh well, I suppose that Monsanto knows best..,.) :
CNN
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The U.S. military bombed about 300 tons of poppy seeds in a dusty field in southern Afghanistan Tuesday in a dramatic show of force designed to break up the Taliban's connection to heroin.
The air strike occurred mid-day in Helmand province and was observed by CNN's Ivan Watson, who is embedded with the U.S. Marines operating in that province.
The military dropped a series of 1,000-pound bombs from planes on the mounds of poppy seeds and then followed with strikes from helicopters.
Tony Wayne, with the U.S. State Department, said the strikes on poppy seeds, that can be used to make opium and heroin, is part of a strategy shift for the military to stop the Taliban and other insurgents from profiting from drugs.
"There is a nexus that needs to be broken between the insurgents and the drug traffickers," Wayne said. "Also, it is part of winning the hearts and minds of the population because in some cases they are intimidated into growing poppies."
In a bid to encourage Afghan farmers to swap out their poppy plants for wheat crops the U.S. Agency for International Development has been offering them seeds, fertilizers and improved irrigation.

Gang of Sickos: Six US Senators Sell Out Constituents for $11 Million from Health Industry

TPM July 18, 2009
A bipartisan group of six "moderate" US senators, dubbed the "Gang of Six" by news agencies, issued a demand July 17 for a slowdown on Democratic health care reform. These senators - including three conservative Democrats, one conservative Independent who caucuses with Democrats, and two moderate Republicans - asked for a slowdown on health care reform not because their constituents wished it so: recent polls show that a clear majority of Americans want health care reform now including a public health care option such as that proposed by President Obama and progressives in Congress. No, these senators asked for a slowdown on health care reform because the for-profit health, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries have bid them to do so in the hope that reform can be stopped, and because these same industries have generously provided them with career campaign contributions totalling more than $11 million.
