Since articles were posted online several weeks ago discussing Jim's advanced energy technologies, Jim has experienced the following: * Jim has received multiple death threats over thephone. * Jim received a hard copy death threat - placed on the windshield of his vehicle. * Unmarked vehicles have been parked outside Jim's house at night on several occasions. Whenever Jim walks outside to confront the person(s), the vehicles quickly drive away. * Two uninvited men interrupted a meeting in Texas between Jim and a prospective investor, one of which claimed he was former NSA, using a fake name to identify himself. After one of the men briefly walked out of the room to make a phone call, this man walked back into the room and mentioned information that could only have been known by someone monitoring Jim's email/phone communications. * The morning after Jim posted a video on youtube demonstrating his technology, a man parked his personal vehicle outside Jim's house, placed a PG&E cone behind the vehicle, and was loitering around Jim's house and accessed Jim's home electrical box outside. Jim walked outside and confronted the man. The man immediately walked to his vehicle. Jim walked inside, grabbed his camcorder and recorded the man leaving. In one of the videos, the man can be seen holding a taser close to his leg. The license plates were recorded on the video. The local police department said the gentleman has a long list of convictions, to include being hired as a hit man. A private investigator identified the owner of the vehicle by name, and an internet search for the name brought up only one name on the Fresno area. This individual's mother was also listed on the registrationof the vehicle. She was murdered in 2006 according to online articles. This individual is considered very dangerous, so do not approach or contact him directly. For the videos, see http://tr.youtube.com/user/JimBoswell2008 or http://www.youtube.com/user/JimBoswell2008 * PG&E confirmed that no one was scheduled for an appointment to work on Jim's house electrical box on that day. The phone call is recorded. * Jim received a death threat on paper the night after the abovementioned incident stating: WE WARNED YOU! STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR INVENTIONS! YOU WILL NOT MANUFACTURE YOUR INVENTIONS OR THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE DEAD! Jim's phones are apparently monitored by an outside party with covert electronic surveillance capabilities, based on information conveyed in the threatening phone calls and from one of the two men who interrupted Jim's meeting with a prospective investor in TX. Jim can hear a click shortly after he begins a phone call. The measured voltage on his phone line increases from ~24V to ~40 volts when the click occurs, and the voltage returns to ~24V when another click is heard towards the end of his phone calls or when it is determined that he is talking about an unrelated topic that is not of interest to the monitoring party. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Based on other advanced energy researchers' experiences of suppression, the next likely event is vehicular assault, where someone will drive into Jim, run him off the road, try to hit him in a parking lot or on the street, etc., in order to stop him from continuing his work and public interactions, to ensure his technology does not make it out to the public. All of the abovementioned information can be confirmed upon request. Simply repost this information somewhere on the internet with a request to be contacted via email (anonymous email OK), and within a few days the search engines can be used to identify keyword phrases from this original post, and a message will be sent to the email posted along with this message. This information is intended to 'go viral', as a means of protecting Jim Boswell from future incidents, as local authorities and the FBI are not positioned to provide the protection necessary to ensure Jim's safety, so we must do it through the Internet - a million watt spotlight on these incidents will minimize the likelihood of future incidents. *** COPY THIS INFORMATION AND SAVE IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION ONLINE/the hypocrisy: Several Republican senators are now opposing the omnibus spending bill because they say it has too many earmarks—including their own.

12910/Spanish Strategy to Combat the Russian Mafia: Follow the Money) Grinda traced the history of the Russian mafia in Spain to the mid-1990s, when several vory v zakone began to enter Spain. He said that since 2004 Spanish prosecutors have created a formal strategy to “behead” the Russian mafia in Spain. He explained that this has been a top-down strategy done through extensive investigations of criminal actions by these vory v zakone living in Spain. These individuals have no known jobs and unknown sources of income, yet they live in large mansions. Spanish prosecutors have concluded that money-laundering is likely involved and the challenge has been how to prove this. Grinda says that Spain’s longtime experience in fighting drug traffickers’ use of money laundering has proven valuable in this regard. Grinda says the money-laundering investigations have a two-fold objective: to prevent the targets from profiting from the original crime and to prevent the targets from gaining enough clout to enjoy economic influence, which Grinda suggested sooner or later always reaches political power. This is why Spain’s Attorney General has grouped together the prosecutors’ office for anti-corruption and organized crime. As part of this strategy to prevent mafiosos from enjoying economic influence, Spain’s strategy includes the seizure of businesses, companies, furniture and other assets./ Behind the facade of Wahabi conservatism in the streets, the underground nightlife for Jeddah’s elite youth is thriving and throbbing. The full range of worldly temptations and vices are available -- alcohol, drugs, sex -- but strictly behind closed doors. This freedom to indulge carnal pursuits is possible merely because the religious police keep their distance when parties include the presence or patronage of a Saudi royal and his circle of loyal attendants, such as a Halloween event attended by ConGenOffs on. [DETAIL REMOVED] Over the past few years, the increased conservatism of Saudi Arabia’s external society has pushed the nightlife and party scene in Jeddah even further underground. End summary./Religious police/CPVPV (Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) were nowhere to be seen and while admission was controlled through a strictly-enforced guest list, the partygoers were otherwise not shy about publicizing the affair. According to a young Saudi from a prominent Jeddah merchant family, the Saudis try to throw parties at princes’ houses or with princes in attendance, which serves as sufficient deterrent to interference by the CPVPV. There are over 10,000 princes in the Kingdom, albeit at various levels and gradations -- “Royal Highnesses” (“Saheb Al Sumou Al Maliki”) signified by direct descent from King Abdulaziz, and mere “Highnesses” (“Saheb Al Sumou”) from less direct branches of the Al Saud ruling family. Our host that evening,xxxxxx (protect), traces his roots to Thunayan, a brother of Mohammad, Amir of Diriyyah and Nejd (1725-65), King Abdullah’s direct ancestor, six generations back. Although PrinceXXXXXXXXXXXX is XXXXXXXXXXXX not in line for the throne, he still enjoys the perks of a mansion, luxury car, lifetime stipend, and security entourage. (Note: Most of the prince XXXXXXXXXXXX’s security forces were young XXXXXXXXXXXX men. It is common practice for Saudi princes to grow up with hired bodyguards from Nigeria or other African nations who are of similar age and who remain with the prince well into adulthood. They are called “khawi,” derived from the Arabic word “akh,” meaning “brother.” The lifetime spent together creates an intense bond of loyalty. End note.)Alcohol, though strictly prohibited by Saudi law and custom, was plentiful at the party’s well-stocked bar, well-patronized by Halloween revellers. The hired Filipino bartenders served a cocktail punch using “sadiqi,” a locally-made “moonshine.” While top-shelf liquor bottles were on display throughout the bar area, the original contents were reportedly already consumed and replaced by sadiqi. On the black market, a bottle of Smirnoff can cost 1,500 riyals when available, compared to 100 riyals for the locally-made vodka. It was also learned through word-of-mouth that a number of the guests were in fact “working girls,” not uncommon for such parties. though not witnessed directly at this event, cocaine and hashish use is common in these social circles and has been seen on other occasions./¶5. (C) Comment: Saudi youth get to enjoy relative social freedom and indulge fleshly pursuits, but only behind closed doors -- and only the rich. Parties of this nature and scale are believed to be a relatively recent phenomenon in Jeddah. One contact, a young Saudi male, explained that up to a few years ago, the only weekend activity was “dating” inside the homes of the affluent in small groups. It is not uncommon in Jeddah for the more lavish private residences to include elaborate basement bars, discos, entertainment centers and clubs. As one high society Saudi remarked, “The increased conservatism of our society over these past years has only moved social interaction to the inside of people’s homes.” End comment. /the U.S. failure to "listen" to Russia, which advised against Palestinian elections, had allowed Hamas to come to power and eventually take over Gaza, thereby strengthening Iran's position in the region. /Israel's official recognition of the Holodomor, the 1930s famine that occurred in Ukraine.

The press and the public universally condemned the attack, characterizing it as a direct assault against the Saudi state and Islam. A more measured reaction The attack seems to have strengthened the already positive public reputation of Prince Mohammed bin Naif, and many religious-minded Saudis will see his miraculous survival, almost unscathed, as a sign of Divine protection and blessing for his efforts against Al-Qaeda and other extremists. For his part, Prince Mohammed has told us the attack has only strengthened his resolve, and convinced him that the Kingdom's counter-terrorism strategy, combining firmness with understanding, is effective and should continue./immediately following the attack. The Saudi Press Agency published photographs of King Abdullah and MbN, wearing a bandage on his left middle finger, meeting at the hospital in Jeddah. News channel Al-Arabiya played a tape of the visit throughout the day in which the visibly concerned King praised Allah for the Prince's safety and described the attack as an attack against both Islam and the country: "Thanks be to God that you are safe and nothing has happened to you. Everything you might have suffered in the service of your religion and homeland will not be for nothing, God willing." MbN responded that this attack "would only strengthen our resolve to root out the terrorists," and admitted that he was at fault for failing to require a full search of the bomber. Official reports note that the would-be assassin was on a list of 85 wanted terrorists, that MbN was aware of his planned attendance, and that he had been expected to turn himself in at the event. / Other prominent religious and political figures were widely quoted in the press the day after the incident. The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia told Okaz newspaper the attack was "not unexpected," and called the assailant "deviant" and "corrupt to the core." Justice Minister Mohammed Al-Issa , Major General Mansour Al-Turki reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to fighting terrorism, characterizing the attack as "an isolated incident" and adding "those who think the war on terror is over in the Kingdom are mistaken." /Saudi journalist Dawood Al-Shiryan wrote in Al-Hayat that the attack was "terrorism as a political rebellion attempting to undermine the authority of the state."

This runs counter to Koroma’s public and private statements which have said he will hold anyone connected to the cocaine bust accountable, regardless of their connections. Also, following an Embassy offer August 1, the GoSL has accepted and offer for DEA to assistance in the investigation, and possible help with the deportation of the accused. Sesay stated in a radio interview August 5 that he “expects to land on his feet” following the conclusion of the investigation, inferring that he will resume his ministerial duties at that time. The Sesay “brothers” are APC stalwarts with close ties to the President. Kemoh Sesay was originally elected as a Member of Parliament in 1996 His contributions during the election, according to rumor, earned the ministerial position for Kemoh Sesay and the Manager position of the national football team for himself. If the allegations are true, these positions were strategically selected and likely used to facilitate narcotics trafficking beyond this particular case. officials made clear their fear that the traffickers could corrupt lover-level judiciary and police officials, and hoped that the DEA could indict and remove the traffickers from Sierra Leone as quickly as possible. The attendees at the meeting also agreed that an additional DEA agent fluent in Spanish should be sent to Sierra Leone immediately. Post will report further developments regarding DEA participation septel. Kemoh Sesay’s possible arrest contradicts previously reported information that he intends to see any guilty party brought to justice, regardless of their personal or professional connections. This is an unwelcome development, particularly given the importance of Koroma’s personal integrity and commitment to rule of law in encouraging greater investor and donor confidence. On the other hand, DEA involvement, particularly if it results in the removal of traffickers from Sierra Leone quickly, helps the President retain his government’s reputation and commitment to the rule of law--before the traffickers use their resources to bribe their way past prison and police officials who make only few dollars a day. /Saudi Arabia is officially still studying the issue of whether to associate with the Copenhagen Accord on Climate Change. Behind the scenes, we understand serious discussions are taking place about which road will best serve the Kingdom’s long term interests. On one hand, Saudi Arabia’s lead climate change negotiator has criticized the Copenhagen process in private and in public, arguing that the UNFCCC process is the only acceptable legal framework. On the other hand, Saudi officials are very eager to obtain investment credits for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and other technology transfer projects that will only become available once an agreement has been reached. Saudi officials express concern about the impact a transition to a low-carbon energy mix will have on the country’s revenue stream at a time when it faces enormous financing needs to transform its economy to create jobs for its young, growing population. It also fears imposed economic costs associated with “demonizing” oil. Part of the explanation for this schizophrenic position is that the Saudi Government has not yet thought through all the implications of a climate change agreement, in part because it may not fully understand the various demand scenarios. There appears to be a growing sense within the SAG that it may be in danger of becoming isolated on climate change, which may prompt a re-examination of its position. Saudi officials have suggested that they need to find a way to climb down gracefully from the country’s tough negotiating position. More sustained engagement in coordination with other governments, particularly if pitched as an effort to develop partnership, may help them do so. Saudi Arabia not yet Decided on Copenhagen Accord.Saudi Arabia’s lead climate change negotiator Dr. Mohammad Al-Sabban told Econoffs February 3 the United States should adopt a more inclusive, transparent approach to United Nations Forum for Climate Change Cooperation (UNFCCC) negotiations. Although he was encouraged by President Obama’s attitude towards developing country partners in the negotiations, Al-Sabban said the parties needed to “learn from the mistakes” of Copenhagen in thinking about preparing for the next Conference of Parties (CoP) in Mexico. Al-Sabban said developing countries felt their Danish hosts forced them to decide on the Copenhagen Accord with practically no notice. Heads of state were also called into the negotiations too early and they applied too much pressure “when the deal was not there,” he said. In specific response to the U.S. request for support for the Copenhagen Accord (ref H), Al-Sabban said Saudi Arabia was still studying the accord to determine its position. The SAG cares about the environment, but it also must care for its citizens, he said. Asked how to move forward on a global climate change commitment, Al-Sabban agreed negotiations need a “speedy outcome,” and Saudi officials are intensely discussing what position the country should take. We believe that the message is getting through, that there is a broad consensus among countries that tangible action needs to be taken now to address climate change. We also think that Saudi leaders are beginning to understand that they are in increasing danger of being left behind. They do have significant, legitimate concerns about how this process will affect their long-term livelihood. Our conversations, however, with officials in Finance, Petroleum and the other economic ministries suggests that they have not done sufficient economic analysis of the various scenarios to understand what the real impact of a climate change agreement might be. Such a discussion might help provide the kind of dispassionate basis to address legitimate Saudi concerns, while also making a better case for the need to take action to mitigate increasing emissions. We take as an encouraging sign the fact that several Saudi officials have noted to us that the Kyoto agreement only runs for two more years, suggesting that some at least understand the need to chart a more assured future course. We take the suggestion seriously that we help the Saudis find a way to climb down from their current position, ideally by offering the hand of partnership, which may help persuade the rest of OPEC to follow suit. For now, we believe that success will require a sustained, broad engagement with Saudi leadership, as we think the problem is more than just a rogue negotiator, but some broadly shared fears about the future, and uncertainty about the way forward. SMITHsaid countries need to rebuild trust and confidence through more transparent negotiations. Al-Sabban said Saudi Arabia’s nationally appropriate actions would include carbon capture and storage (CCS) credits. He emphasized Saudi Arabia’s need for technology transfer and foreign direct investment to mitigate the adverse impact that emissions-reducing policies may have on the Kingdom. He said the U.S. Administration’s rhetoric to end dependence on foreign oil, reiterated by President Obama in Copenhagen, is antagonistic and causes genuine fear in Saudi Arabia. The SAG is concerned about the outlook for oil demand and global production, and fears it will not be able to diversify in time to reach its development goals. /McChrystal and briefed Karzai on a June 29 incident in which a USG-funded, equipped, and mentored paramilitary force attacked a Kandahar courthouse.

Afghans throughout the province generally regard him as corrupt. Hamdard’s ham-fisted approach to intimidate international partners and the PRT, while not an admission of guilt, illustrates his contempt for the international donor community, GIRoA, the lawful processes for development within ministry line directories in particular, and the rule of law. His reported statement that he wants to “declare a jihad against the PRT” is illustrative of the strained relations with the PRT. Somewhat fortunately, Governor Hamdard is often away in Kabul or Balkh Province and Deputy Governor Mangal is a capable administrator and thoughtful intermediary./ABOVE THE LAW: CORRUPT GOVERNOR THWARTS GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT IN PAKTYA PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN/Russian arms sales are consequential, totaling approximately USD 6.7 billion in 2006, according to official figures. This amount reflects a 12 percent increase over 2005, and a 56 percent increase since 2003. Russian arms sales are expected to total at least USD 8 billion in 2007. Russia has made a conscious effort to improve after-sales customer service and warranties, which has added to the attractiveness of its weapons. As a result, Russian weapons command higher prices than previously. Russia is ranked second only to the United States in arms sales to the developing world, and a sizeable portion of its arms trade is with countries of concern to us./There are few voices in Russia who protest the sale of weapons to countries of concern and no domestic political constraints that tie the hands of Russian policymakers on this score. The pride that Russian officialdom takes in the arms industry as a symbol of Russia’s resurgence is largely shared by average Russians. American concerns are interpreted cynically, as the disgruntled complaints of a competitor, and viewed through the prism of a 1990’s story line in which the West seeks to keep Russia down, including by depriving it of arms markets. Burns/Accountability for alleged crimes committed by GSL troops and officials during the war is the most difficult issue on our bilateral agenda. (NOTE: Both the State Department Report to Congress on Incidents during the Conflict and the widely read report by the University Teachers for Human Rights (Jaffna) also detailed many incidents of alleged crimes perpetrated by the LTTE. Most of the LTTE leadership was killed at the end of the war, leaving few to be held responsible for those crimes. The Government of Sri Lanka (GSL) is holding thousands of mid- and lower-level ex-LTTE combatants for future rehabilitation and/or criminal prosecution. It is unclear whether any such prosecutions will meet international standards. END NOTE.) There have been some tentative steps on accountability on the GSL side. Soon after the appearance of the State Department report, President Rajapaksa announced the formation of an experts’ committee to examine the report and to provide him with recommendations on dealing with the allegations. At the end of the year, the president extended the deadline for the committee’s recommendations from December 31 until April. For his part, General Fonseka has spoken publicly of the need for a new deal with the Tamils and other minorities. Privately, his campaign manager told the Ambassador that Fonseka had ordered the opposition campaign to begin work planning a “truth and reconciliation” commission/Accountability is clearly an issue of importance for the ultimate political and moral health of Sri Lankan society. There is an obvious split, however, between the Tamil diaspora and Tamils in Sri Lanka on how and when to address the issue. While we understand the former would like to see the issue as an immediate top-priority issue, most Tamils in Sri Lanka appear to think it is both unrealistic and counter-productive to push the issue too aggressively now. While Tamil leaders are very vocal and committed to national reconciliation and creating a political system more equitable to all ethnic communities, they believe themselves vulnerable to political or even physical attack if they raise the issue of accountability publicly, and common Tamils appear focused on more immediate economic and social concerns. A few have suggested to us that while they cannot address the issue, they would like to see the international community push it. Such an approach, however, would seem to play into the super-heated campaign rhetoric of Rajapaksa and his allies that there is an international conspiracy against Sri Lanka and its “war heroes.” BUTENIS/President Sarkozy seems to have come around to previous leaders’ conclusions that French-German cooperation is the “engine” of the EU. French-German exchanges are intensifying in preparation for the French EU Presidency in the second half of 2008. Just as the November 12 joint Council of Ministers meeting focused on one of France’s Presidency priorities, immigration and integration, the next intergovernmental meeting will focus on the French Presidency priority of energy and environment. France and Germany are also working closely on the third French priority, ESDP, with frequent contacts at the Political Director level and between planning staffs. XXXXXXXXXXXX characterized France as seeking to translate high-level, theoretical consensus on ESDP goals into concrete projects such as the planned ESDP mission to Chad./If the militant’s plan was to force the Pakistani Army to re-focus on its eastern border and eliminate any chance (however slight) of moving forces from the Indian border to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), then their plan may have succeeded. The Mumbai attacks likely torpedoed any prospect of Indian CBMs on Kashmir in the immediate future. The decision to send ISI MG Pasha to India, however, is a good sign that both sides are trying to prevent these horrific attacks from undermine all the progress made on bilateral rapprochement./ASSESSING THE RISK OF SOCIAL UNREST IN RUSSIA/Public Mood: Darkening but Not Black/ We areinclined to the view that Russia will maintainsocio-political stability through the summer, albeit with therecognition that localized demonstrations of protest arepossible throughout the country, particularly in the "onecompany towns."

However, as we will discuss septel, the greaterrisk to socio-political stability is that of inter- andintra-elite conflict, in which one or more of the competingclans seeks to leverage public discontent to gain advantage./Prime inister Brown delivered several requests oneconomic issues to Vice President Biden. The first was theneed to secure financing for an additional $250 billion inSpecial Drawing Rights (SDRs) for the IMF to help vulnerableeconomies withstand the economic downturn. Brown commentedthat his understanding was this was an amount that theadministration could support without the need to consultCongress. U.S. support on the issue would be particularlyhelpful with the Germans who, as yet, do not supportadditional SDRs. Parallel discussions were going on withChina, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and several other Gulf nations tosecure $400 billion in additional financing.Biden noted that the current U.S.commitment of 63,000 troops to Afghanistan is the result of avigorous internal policy debate and would not be sustainablepolitically for more than two years without visible signs ofprogress. After two years, the extraordinary cost ofmaintaining a robust military presence in Afghanistan wouldmake additional commitment increasinglydifficult. /We should begin with $1.5billion per year in economic assistance that is unconditionaland supplement that with military assistance that isconditioned on the modernization of its command structure andactive action in the field to combat insurgents.

The fact that the "liberty and detention" judge allowed bail for one defendant and not the other suggests that incarceration in Guantanamo was not a decisive factor in deciding pretrial detention. Ricard and Bruguiere remain determined to pursue charges against six of the seven GTMO detainees, although there is little doubt that their defense lawyers will redouble their efforts to obtain bail for the other detainees as a result of the "liberty and detention" judge's decision. /In light of their uneasiness with EU-3 efforts, the Israelis are hoping for robust U.S. involvement and action by the UNSC. PM Sharon has urged the EU-3 to continue its efforts, but also stressed the importance of preparing to take Iran to the UNSC. In a meeting with a CoDel on December 12, DefMin Mofaz pushed for the U.S. to take the lead with the Europeans and pursue all diplomatic solutions, including sanctions. President Katsav asked the Secretary not to "wait for the Europeans." / Dr. Prince Turki is not a decision-maker, but he is a reliable transmitter of official Saudi thinking. Most of what he said is not new, although this is the most explicit mention we have heard of Saudi willingness to see nuclear weapons deployed in the GCC as a deterrent to Iran. His concern that the United States will negotiate a "grand bargain" with Iran without consulting Saudi Arabia is a concern we have heard often in recent weeks./PolCouns noted that Arabs say that progress on the Palestinian track would make it easier for them to publicly engage Israel. Hadas countered that while peace with the Palestinians is an Israeli interest and important in its own right, it should not be the sum total of Israel's relations with the Arab World. Arab League Secretary General Amre Moussa had invented the "never-ending hurdle race" in which Israel could never do enough to deserve a positive response. The Israeli-Palestinian track should not serve as an excuse for the Gulf to avoid action, whether against Iran or through practical steps to support the Palestinian Authority. / explosions, etc...

I agree that this, once the desperate act of bankrupt businesses and pathological gamblers, now seems to have become a standard practice of banks and governments."Check kiting is the illegal act of taking advantage of the float to make use of non-existent funds in a checking or other bank account; it is a form of check fraud. It is commonly defined as intentionally writing a check for a value greater than the account balance from an account in one bank, then writing a check from another account in another bank, also with non-sufficient funds, with the second check serving to cover the non-existent funds from the first account.[1] The purpose of check kiting is to falsely inflate the balance of a checking account in order to allow checks that have been written that would otherwise bounce to clear."/Happy Thanksgiving -- I certainly did.Just had to pass on this quick note on the foreclosure story. Another piece on Florida's woes has come out, and in this one, a circuit court judge named Lee Haworth essentially admits that judges do not look at the paperwork of the foreclosure cases they process. In other words, he is admitting that he accepts the arguments of the plaintiffs (i.e. the banks) reflexively and that the burden is on the homeowner to defend himself.Florida judges and legal officials have been slow to prevent or reverse foreclosures based on questionable documents. Judges do not question the documents unless homeowners question them first, so they continue to rule in favor of lenders. Twelfth Circuit Chief Judge Lee Haworth said judges must remain neutral in court, and cannot raise possible defenses -- such as bad paperwork -- on behalf of homeowners who choose not to fight, or don't know how to fight, their foreclosure."The judges will accept, as they do in every case, pleadings that are represented by counsel as legitimate," said Haworth.

It's an issue of perception. Judges I think are long used to the idea that individual people are deadbeats and don't pay bills -- they've seen enough lying-ass individual debtors stand in their courts with their faces unshaven and their shirts untucked, trying to sell them excuses and stories -- but they haven't quite made it to a place where they can accept the idea that the nation's top 10-20 banks could be engaged in ongoing criminal conspiracies. I think it blows their minds and they don't believe it. mt/.

A teeny tiny bit.On page 189 of “America by Heart,” Palin is in the midst of a lengthy and thoughtful discussion about the role of religion in America, and American history. Among other things, she spends time praising Mitt Romney for his speeches on this subject. But on page 189, she is writing about the opinions of Founding Father John Adams, including his famous quotation, “we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.” /10 rockers who found gawd:http://www.rollingstone.com/music/photos/53622/238402/1 /

Most (i.e. over 50%) of that money will go to fewer than 10,000 individuals -- out of a population of 310 million -- and about 140 million individual tax returns. That would work out to about an average of $7.2 million for each of those 10,000. If 90,000 or so split the remaining half of the bonus pool, that would work out to an average of $800,000 each.
