One of the 'last people' to see the DC Madam alive... | 19 comments (19 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

As usual, Lisa...it's lonely on the outside. (none / 1)

Ain't it?

But outside is where the truth lies in this inverted system.

Keep it up.

Eventually...I hope...all of this stuff will come out. And when it does (if of course it is not decades too late) there will be HELL to pay.

Obama is a very careful man.

I hope that he is careful enough. In a system that is literally built of the murder of millions for profit, the life of one person means less than nothing. The only thing that keeps prominent questioners of that system alive is the inconvenience and complexity that will ensue from the effort of hiding their murder.

Off some high-level whore who has info that might blow the lid off of the system?

Easy.

Who cares but her loved ones?

So it goes.

In The Godfather II, Hyman Roth says "Michael, we're bigger than General Motors."

The people who are running these games make the Mafia look like a bunch of playground bullies in comparison.

Bet on it.

Arthur, (none / 1)

what's your take on the NYC fashion geek's TShirts that asks "Who shot Obama?" ?

Seems there's good reason to call those shirts tasteless, but they do also make people review the situation in their mind; determine "NO ONE!" as the answer; and possibly also leave people a bit more alert to the risk that Obama runs, if he is elected.

(The answer should remain "no one!!")

What steps, other than something like that TShirt, would you think are best for average citizens to consider taking?

Is the truth tasteless? I think not.

Who killed Barack Obama? (none / 0)

Israeli designs 'Who killed Barack Obama?' T-shirts

NEW YORK - The American political system sees its fair share of mudslinging, accusation and incendiary statements--especially during a presidential election campaign. An Israeli fashion designer residing in New York has, however, managed to stir up heated controversy in the city even in the midst of a hotly contested presidential campaign.

Doron Braunshtein, an Israeli fashion designer and owner of the Apollo Braun fashion boutique in New York, decided to capitalize on this sensational Obama story by creating his own line of T-shirts bearing the logo "Who killed Obama?"

In creating this controversial clothing line, the designer had hoped to wed the political and fashion scenes, and comment on various societal phenomenon surrounding the heated election campaign. The "who shot Obama?" slogan is a throw back to popular 80's TV show, Dallas, which featured the immortal line "who shot J.R.?"

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

Re: Who killed Barack Obama? (4.00 / 2)

I think a storyline is being laid down in advance. This is just disgusting. There's a similarly themed op-ed today in the NYT about how Muslim's 'should' kill Obama if they are true to their principles. Bizarre and awful column.

Holy Shit (none / 0)

That opinion piece is just nuts. To the Americans: He's not really Christian, to the Muslims: He betrayed the faith of his fathers.

I think you're right about the storyline being prepared.

That's pretty damm scary.
