Peru
At least 84 indigenous people have been killed by Peruvian Special Forces ths week fighting to defend their traditional territories from oil exploration. http://www.earth-stream.com/outpage.php?s=18&id=174386
In the first twelve minutes of this interview, you can get an understanding of why the Panamanian government have fired on and killed their own indigenous native citizens.In the first 13 minutes you can understand why we are still in Iraq.In the first 22 minutes you can understand how people who do these things can ignore their conscience and dispell guilt.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTbdnNgqfs8

'Fake' Congress Sites
‘Fake’ congress sites, well they can be helpful just remember they each have their own ‘voice’ They have their donors and special interests too and a right to be heard, just that the people are not being heard right now.Roll Call Congress.org http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
These people have deliberately worded votes to sway my opinion and sent me petitions with tricky wording, they seem to represent business interests
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
This is BIZARRE and funny!

Red background, communist logo and they work with the Heritage foundation and Cato institute, LOL are the neoconservatives closet commies?

Open Congress is from the Sunlight Foundation, I have not had any problems with them and heard good things about Maplight.org, but of course they have their own donors

106$ Billion for More War
How did they Vote on HR 2346? http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll348.xml#N
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d111:2:./temp/~bdALRm::/bss/111search.html
I am looking for a way to discern what representatives are actually employed by, and working for, the citizens of the US and who is parasiting on a system that creates war and poverty.
$106 Billion dollars to more war in Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic for air operations, other Eurasian countries, Israel for weapons systems, Egypt for border patrol, Iraq and Afghanistan, Mexico (drug war), Lebanon, funding for the IMF (international monetary fund) a requirement that none of the money is spent on relocating detainees at Guantanamo detainees to the US, and a BAN on releasing photos of torture even if it is required by the freedom of information act. (open congress summary)
So here are the 32 Democrats who had the balls to not vote for this bill. I will be noticing them.

Geitner and Summers to Regulate?
Geitner and Summers , Sounds like a good name for a Music Duo
While Geitner and Summers pretend to be asking for tighter regulation and more power to the Fed to ‘regulate’ the financial industry we need to re-read this last article carefully and then you will understand why what they are saying is so laughable. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124532495495527289.html
Top Economics Aide Discloses Income
Summers Earned Salary From Hedge Fund, Speaking Fees From Wall St. Firms

From “What Cooked the Economy, it wasn’t your overdue mortgage by James Lieber
http://www.argumentations.com/Argumentations/StoryDetail_10568.aspx
“People still seem surprised to read that hedge principals have raked in billions of dollars in a single year. They shouldn't be. These subprime-time players knew how to score. The scam bled AIG white. In mid-September, when it was on the ropes, AIG received an astonishing $85 billion emergency line of credit from the Fed. Soon, that was supplemented by another $67 billion. Much of that money, to use the government's euphemism, has already been "drawn down." Shamefully, neither Washington nor AIG will explain where the billions went. But the answer is increasingly clear: It went to counterparties who bought derivatives from Cassano's shop in London.”
“AIG's lavishly compensated counterparties were willing participants and likewise could be considered for prosecution, depending on what they knew. Who were they?
At a 2007 conference, Cassano defined them as a "global swath" that included "banks and investment banks, pension funds, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, hedge funds, money managers, high-net-worth individuals, municipalities, sovereigns, and supranationals." Abetting the scheme, ratings agencies like Standard & Poor's gave high grades to the shaky mortgage-backed securities bundled by investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers.”
