Here are just some of the sobering facts:
— There are 8.5 million people receiving unemployment insurance and over 40 million receiving food stamps.— At the current pace of job creation, the economy won’t return to full employment until 2018.
— Middle-income jobs are disappearing from the economy. The share of middle-income jobs in the United States has fallen from 52% in 1980 to 42% in 2010.
— Middle-income jobs have been replaced by low-income jobs, which now make up 41% of total employment.
— 17 million Americans with college degrees are doing jobs that require less than the skill levels associated with a bachelor’s degree.
— Over the past year, nominal wages grew only 1.7% while all consumer prices, including food and energy, increased by 2.7%.
— Wages and salaries have fallen from 60% of personal income in 1980 to 51% in 2010. Government transfers have risen from 11.7% of personal income in 1980 to 18.4% in 2010, a post-war high.

Dr. Steve Pieczenik, aka "Jack Ryan" and "Richard Clark" of the Tom Clancy Novels, Speaks the Unvarnished Truth About OBL Psyop
Update x1 – Dr. Pieczenik was on Alex’s show again yesterday, May 4 3, 2011. Videos of the interview are below. Let’s hope more Dr. Pieczenik’s come out and stand by their country rather than the corrupt political apparatchik. Something tells me the American’s are ready to stand with the elite who dare to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Update x2 – Dr. Pieczenik returned to Alex’s show yesterday, May 4, 2011 with Paul Joseph Watson and this time he made it abundantly clear that he and others are watching and know who is who in the White House. Messing with the American public through an expanding TSA and restricting our liberties will bring about a second American Revolution.
by Helen Tansey
Yesterday, May 3, 2011, Alex Jones, Infowars, interviewed Dr. Steve Pieczenik (see bio below) for two hours during his daily broadcast. Dr. Pieczenik reiterated the facts on the ground then, back in 2002, that Osama Bin Laden suffered from Marfan’s Syndrome and was in renal failure in 2001. The US CIA paid for Bin Laden’s treatment at a hospital in Dubai who shortly thereafter died by Special Forces. Dr. Pieczenik reported to Alex in 2002 that Osama’s body was then frozen only to be trotted out when it would be most useful to whomever was serving as President at the time.
Many who were more than aware of these facts were stunned to see President Obama and his White House staff use this sick ploy on Sunday night, which was intentionally orchestrated as a decoy. Yes. A decoy. The psyop operation you have witnessed in “real time” during the last 72 hours is deliberate.
The administration is growing desperate, therefore they must keep your attention distracted from the real issues like no Banker or Wall Street criminal being indicted, they don’t want you to pay attention to rising unemployment, rising food prices, rising gasoline prices, the fraudulent birth certificate Part Deux, Obama’s tanking poll numbers, Congresses tanking poll numbers and more. The people are finally catching onto their malicious UNAMERICAN games and more importantly, they are sick to death of them!
They want their country back! That’s right, the PEOPLE! Not Republican! Not Democratic! Not Whatever! But the People.
You don’t believe me? Well then listen to this interview and then come back and tell me how wrong I am, and how wrong millions of your neighbors, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, dads and co-workers are. I’ll be waiting…

Israel's WikiLeaks Documents Reveal U.S. Knowingly Imprisoned 150 Innocent Men at Guantánamo
From Democracy Now! “The whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has begun releasing thousands of secret documents from the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay that reveal the Bush and Obama administrations knowingly imprisoned more than 150 innocent men for years without charge. In dozens of cases, senior U.S. commanders were said to have concluded that there was no reason for the men to have been transferred to Guantánamo. Among the innocent prisoners were an 89-year-old Afghan villager and a 14-year-old boy who had been kidnapped. Some men were imprisoned at Guantánamo simply because they wore a popular model of Casio watches, which had been used as timers by al-Qaeda. The documents also reveal that the journalist Sami al-Hajj was held at Guantánamo for six years partly in order to be interrogated about his employer, the Al Jazeera network. Al-Hajj’s file said he was sent to Guantánamo in order to “provide information on … the Al-Jazeera news network’s training programme, telecommunications equipment, and newsgathering operations in Chechnya, Kosovo and Afghanistan.” For more, we speak with journalist Andy Worthington, author of The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison.

Offshore Banking and Tax Havens Have Become Heart of Global Economy
Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales conducted this interview w/author Nicholas Shaxson, Treasure Islands: Uncovering the Damage of Offshore Banking and Tax Havens, prior to tax day here in Uncle Sam’s US of A. Shaxson talks in detail about this hidden financial system stashing away trillions of trillions of corporate and personal wealth purposely evading their share of taxes. Great interview and very enlightening while explaining why the people of the world are carrying the load for basic services while that “rich” guy, well, just laughs all the way to the bank.
“Treasure Islands: Uncovering the Damage of Offshore Banking and Tax Havens”
“An absolute gem that deserves to be read by anyone interested in the way contemporary globalization is undermining social justice. Give it to your sons, daughters, families, favorite legislators and anyone else needing stimulation of their thought buds. This masterpiece illuminates the dark places and shows the visible hand of governments, corporations, banks, accountants, lawyers and other pirates in creating fictitious offshore transactions and structures and picking our pockets. This financial engineering has enabled companies and the wealthy elites to dodge taxes. The result is poverty, erosion of social infrastructure and hard won welfare rights and higher taxes for ordinary people. Tax will be the decisive battleground of the twenty-first century as no democracy can function without it, or provide people with adequate educations, healthcare, security, housing, transport or pensions. Nicholas Shaxson has done a wonderful job in lifting the lid off the inbuilt corruption that has become so naturalized in the western world.”–Prem Sikka, Professor of Accounting, University of Essex, UK

“Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention” by Manning Marable, the late Director, of the Malcolm X Project at Columbia University
23 of 24 people found the following review helpful:
Why you should read this book, April 12, 2011This review is from: Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (Hardcover)
Whether you’re just getting to know this giant and enigmatic figure of the civil rights “movement” – or in Malcolm’s case revolution – or you were on the street in the day, Manning Marable’s biography is worth your valuable time. In addition to being a wide and deep examination of how Malcolm Little became Malcolm X and how Malcom X became a universal advocate for the oppressed, especially of African heritage, Marable fills in gaps with his singular access to records and sources, as well as his sustained effort over a decade in producing this biography. But, perhaps most importantly, the voice that Malcolm X raised in defense of those being oppressed carries a message especially important in our time. We should listen.
Marable examines Malcolm’s life from many angles, in many contexts, which are necessary given that he manifested himself in appearances that ranged from hustler and angry voice from the ghetto to social activist and pragmatist willing to work within the American “system.” And this broad appeal largely defines Malcolm X’s appeal according to Marable: “Malcolm’s journey of reinvention was in many ways centered on his lifelong quest to discern the meaning and substance of faith. As a prisoner, he embraced an antiwhite quasi-Islamic sect that nevertheless validated his fragmented sense of humanity and ethnic identity. But as he traveled across the world…Malcolm came to adopt true Islam’s universalism, and its belief that all could find Allah’s grace regardless of race.” (p.12)
To black audiences, “what made him truly original was that he presented himself as the embodiment of the two central figures of African-American folk culture, simultaneously the hustler/trickster and the preacher/minister…the trickster is unpredictable and capable of outrageous transgressions; the minister saves souls, redeems shattered lives, and promises a new world.” I might add that I suspect this appeal is not limited to just black audiences.

Dear Mr. President:
Dude, you’ve been punked! And by your very own “Official Document Maker” Czar at that!
Sir, you just played right into the hands of the “birthers”? Yes you did, and sadly, you don’t even know it!
I mean look at what you said to Oprah yesterday “live” on air – you were “driven to release [your] long-form birth certificate so that the nation could move on and focus on a “serious conversation” about solving its problems.”Yes, America has “serious” problems and they are all of YOUR making along with your donors, your masters and your congressional pals. We the people have nothing to do with the ugly mess we’re in! No Sir, you do along with all of those elitist New Socialist World Order snots you “think” are your friends thank you very much!
But you couldn’t stop there, no siree, you just had to show your petulance toward Americans by digging an even deeper hole by belittling nearly 70% of the voting electorate when referring to us as “sideshows and carnival barkers”. And you wonder why we the people want you the hell out of our White House! Well, wonder no more, Sir. [Read more…]

Alex Jones talks to Wayne Madsen – Why is the NY Times rewriting history of Obama Families CIA roots? Wierd.
by Helen Tansey
T-Room readers are a savvy group of informed citizens regarding all things Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama. We know for a fact he is fully supported by the New World Order CIA backed elitist crowd with disaster capitalist George Soros leading the pom pom squad. Woo hoo!
T-Room readers are also aware our friend, investigative journalist, Wayne Madsen is leaving the United States due to confirmed death threats emanating from the White House cabal. This too has been verified.
Now we learn the New York Times is doing some inoculation of their own to purposely muddy the waters, and may in fact be rewriting history regarding Obama’s lifelong roots in the CIA and the rest of his families – Stanley Dunham, Madelyn Payne Dunham (Toots), Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., Lolo Soetoro (Sutaro).

Governor Bob McDonnell responded to the SCOTUS refusal with this statement –
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 25, 2011
Statement of Governor McDonnell on Supreme Court’s Refusal to Expedite Health Care Challenge
RICHMOND – Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this morning following news that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to grant Virginia’s request for an expedited review of its constitutional challenge of the federal health care law.
“I am disappointed by the Supreme Court’s refusal to expedite the appeals of the federal health care law. The high court will undoubtedly become the venue for determining if the requirement for every citizen to purchase health insurance violates the Constitution. It would serve all sides better if that determination could be made sooner rather than later.
The court’s refusal to hear this case now will force states and businesses to incur increased costs and expend significant effort to begin preparations necessary to ensure compliance with this law, which ultimately may be ruled unconstitutional.
Supporters and opponents of this law should agree on one thing, we need a definitive answer to its constitutionality so that we can move forward in the appropriate manner.
While it is rare for the Supreme Court to expedite appeals, and therefore today’s decision is not a surprise, this decision nonetheless delays the inevitable and will ultimately impact taxpayers and states as they struggle to understand and come into compliance with the sweeping changes of this fundamentally flawed legislation. I am grateful that the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is moving quickly to resolve the appeal so it can proceed to the Supreme Court.”

One Year Later the Largest Man-made Environmental Disaster in American History Continues to Wreak Havoc
Letter to the Ruling Class
You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!

April 20, 2011 marked the one-year anniversary of the tragic Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. Following is snapshot of what we’ve learned over the last 12 months since the spill. It’s not good. Instead, it’s embarrassingly horrific and it appears our Gulf Coast family is carrying this heavy burden alone.
One year later we learn from the Center for Biological Diversity some disturbing facts when they combed through “government figures, news reports and scientific articles. To provide a more accurate estimate of the death toll, we used multiplication factors identified by leading scientists that estimate how many more animals are killed than are actually observed or collected.” The results of their study are highlighted in “A Deadly Toll: The Gulf Oil Spill and the Unfolding Wildlife Disaster which states – [Read more…]

While NATO is establishing democracy in Libya with carpet bombardment, what will be the toxic toll on the people there? The US dropped thousands of depleted uranium bombs upon Fallujah, Iraq in 2003, and the aftermath since has been catastrophic. Are they repeating the action in Libya?

America’s Legacy of Mutagenic War (News Analysis). h/t The Berkeley Daily Planet (VIDEO)
Gar Smith, Environmentalists Against War
Wednesday February 09, 2011
A series of disturbing reports from Iraq and Vietnam (backed up by a horrific collection of videos) have exposed a hidden legacy of war — weapons that continue to create victims years after the conflict has ended.
Thanks to the US military’s embrace of Mutagenic Weapons — technologies that can poison cell tissue and ransack the human DNA far into the future — babies and children have become the latest form of “collateral damage.” Today, in Vietnam and in Iraq (and in Kosovo and Afghanistan), children are being born with deadly cancers, grotesque tumors, twisted or missing limbs, freakishly enlarged heads, and a range of horrific mutations.
In Vietnam, the US sprayed an estimated 20 million gallons of chemical defoliants over the country to kill vegetation that provided cover for the insurgent armies. The Pentagon and the manufacturer (Dow Chemical) knew as early as the 1950s that Agent Orange contained dioxin, an intensely dangerous chemical that could poison the ground and water and kill animals and people long after application. Today, 35 years after the war’s end, three million Vietnamese live with compromised health and crippling deformities attributed to exposure to Dow’s long-lasting poisons. Every day, mothers give birth to deformed babies as the latest generation of Vietnamese children struggles to survive America’s legacy of Agent Orange.
