“In a free society we're supposed to know the truth,” Paul said. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.” “This whole notion that Assange, who's an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason. I mean, aren't they jumping to a wild conclusion?” he added. “This is media, isn't it?

LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Friday that there were some references to UFOs in "yet-to-be-published" confidential files obtained from the U.S. government.
In an online chat hosted by the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper, he also said that no one has been harmed by his organization's release of troves of secret documents.

Today, on an errand, as I often do, I popped into a Courthouse, Federal this time – and found myself in a very serious courtroom right in the middle of a sentencing hearing - for corruption.

Joshua Gunter/ The Plain DealerSteve Dettlebach, U.S. attorney for the northern district of Ohio.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When federal prosecutors began to work with the Greater Cleveland Partnership on ways to encourage ethical business practices in the wake of local corruption scandals, they heard a stunning story.
During a trip abroad to recruit business, partnership representatives were told by a Dutch company that Cleveland wasn't a place they were interested in coming to because they believed it to be corrupt.

After spending practically a lifetime in and around Ward 14, I have watched so many changes, political manuevers, transitions from homeowners and transient tenants; while also sustaining the faith that somehow the days of long ago with small businesses filling the storefronts, every family on the street knowing each other because of the sense of good old fashioned community building was sustained by the residents, and most significantly, because American Pride and the American Spirit had yet to be raped, deprived, and abused so heinously over the last 4 decades...
November 30, 2010 -- The National Research Council, at the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has launched a study to strengthen the scientific basis for incorporating sustainability concepts into EPA’s decision-making. “Today I am formally requesting President Cicerone and the National Academies convene a committee of experts to provide to the U.S. EPA an operational framework for sustainability that applies across all of the agency’s programs, policies, and actions,” said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson at an event held at the National Academy of Sciences’ Koshland Science Museum. NAS President Ralph Cicerone and Bernard Goldstein, chair of the committee that will conduct the study, made remarks as well.
Wow! November 30th was an amazing day for the EPA. Not only are we in the midst of commemorating four decades of accomplishments in protecting the health and the environment, but Administrator Jackson also made a landmark speech at the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Science on the future of the EPA. That future is sustainability. The Administrator laid out her vision to a packed house of luminaries from across the spectrum, from academia to industry, to environmental groups.

Jackson, March 8, 2010

More valuable than all the steel we mill, Cleveland has forged from our blighted, industrial, rustbelted, toxified, sprawling fruited-plains some of the most innovative, transformational music ever heard on Earth, since long before we gave birth to Rock and Roll.

TheLoop21.com's senior financial/political reporter and blogger Devona Walker observes on her blog, "This is a classic Depression for Black America, and few appear to be paying attention. Just look at the numbers." She goes on to point out, for Ohioans:
In several states, Michigan and Ohio for example, African-American unemployment is expected to exceed 20% in 2010
Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Jersey — the unemployment rate for Blacks was at least 2.5 times higher than that of whites

State governments concerned about Amazon Black Friday 2010 deals Past a single day, Black Friday has expanded to almost a full week. The Black Friday 2010 deals have already started on Amazon. Many states are concerned about the Amazon Black Friday 2010 offers, though.
At the top of our broken Democratic political, social, environmental, and economic pyramid-scheming is President Obama, who has "turned out to be such a political dud as chief executive" that our "blue-state financial misery continues", along with other blue-states, and that "deepens the ideological crisis for American liberalism" worldwide. Even billionaires traditionally supportive of Democratic party interests and candidates appear to be seeking "alternative brands to Obama himself."
I quote above two excellent columns published online this week, coming from opposite directions, analyzing the challenges Obama faces ahead, mid-term into his presidency, if he seeks any hope of winning a second term in office in 2012 - The Second Wave, by conservative writer Michael Gerson... andSaving Progressivism from Obama, by liberal writer Robert Kuttner.

I have noticed on Cleveland.com that one poster has-on multiple occassions, cited SPECIFIC TARGETS that "SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED"... perhaps when there are over a hundred blogs on one article the FEDS get tired of reading pissed off citizens anonymously posting trite comments...but sometimes...the bloggers are whistleblowers who are giving you direct hits...LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT OVERSIGHTED!

I believe that a lot of bloggers and whistleblowers are hinting about more connections to the FBI & PD...but under realistic observations...the connections, fraud, and endless list of investigations in multiple directions is mindboggling to any one investigator, reporter, or citizen...
