7 Shocking WikiLeaks Revelations
Round 1 of Cablegate, Julian Assange's big reveal.
November 29, 2010 |
1. We’ve been secretly bombing Yemen.
2. U.S. uses diplomats as spies. Speaking of Clinton... she ordered diplomats to spy on government officials at the UN, gathering such info as credit card and frequent flyer numbers, computer passwords...and DNA
3. U.S. uses Guantanamo Bay prisoners as bargaining chips.
4. China’s been hacking our systems since 2002.
5. Afghanistan is corruption Disneyland. OK, no big surprise there, but it is interesting that Ahmad Zia Massoud was caught traveling to the UAE with $52 million in cash. After being detained by the DEA, he "was ultimately allowed to keep [the money
6. Iran might have long-range missiles. Practically the entire Middle East has urged the U.S
7. Putin and Berlusconi's close relationship causes alarm. "Alpha dog" Vladimir Putin and Italian partier/prime-minister Silvio Berlusconi have forged a close relationship, potentially involving shady business deals.

About the allegations made against Julian Assange:
There are no rape charges. Julian has invited Sweden to question him in the UK and Sweden refused. He answered allegations once and then Sweden dropped it, and he left Sweden.
Ironically the UK protected one of the world's worst war criminals , Pinochet from extradition, yet won't protect Julian from extradition to a country where there is no bail, trials are secret, and where Julian hasn't even been charged.
Mission Accomplished - Exxon to Drill 20 Oil Wells in Iraq
Some of us said this was the reason all along. Sad.
"Private Empire": Author Steve Coll on the State-Like Powers, Influence of Oil Giant ExxonMobil
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: We turn now to look at one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the country: ExxonMobil. In the hour it takes for this show to broadcast, ExxonMobil will earn almost $5 million in profit. Last week, the corporate giant reported that it had earned nine-and-a-half billion dollars in profits in the first three months of this year, or almost $104 million per day.
Earlier this week, ExxonMobil signed a contract with the Iraqi Drilling Company in Basra to drill 20 oil wells in one of world’s largest undeveloped fields with recoverable oil reserves. Iraq is expected to be the world’s biggest source of new oil supplies over the next few years after signing contracts for big development projects with major oil companies.

Americans Elect is NOT a political party. They are a CORPORATION
and they are run by the 1% and can override the so called internet election they will hold.
They are funded by secret money,
run by hedge fund managers and other 1%ers
use internet voting and
they have a committee that can override the voters "choice'.

Americans Elect - Wallstreet insiders would broker 2012 election
WILL SCOTUS PICK POTUS IN 2012?
My hair is on fire. I've been challenged by some to provide more than one source for my concerns about Americans Elect.
The Americans Elect corporation aims to arrange the election of its own candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. Whats wrong with that? They use internet voting, they keep sources of funding secret, they have a committee that can override the voters choice, ties to the FBI, CIA and Council on Foreign Policy, and AE has plans to broker the 2012 election.

AMERICANS ELECT - Third Party Hazy as California Smog
NBC Los Angeles
In effect, Americans Elect is a small, self-selected group that will decide on a list of "qualified" candidates for consideration by the voters. If that isn't manipulative arrogance, it's hard to know what is.

Can Well-Heeled Insiders Create a Populist Third-Party Sensation?
By ALEX ALTMAN. TIME. December 21, 2011
...“If the candidate of Americans Elect were to play a key role in determining the outcome of the 2012 election using secret money to finance their candidate, that would be an extraordinary scandal.”
Its Web-based nominating process has raised additional questions. Though Americans can pay bills and swap stocks online, experts say online voting is susceptible to skulduggery.
...
Skeptics are also wary of the powers the group has reserved for itself. The group’s bylaws entrust an appointed group of advisers — known as the “candidate-certification committee” — with deciding whether candidates who don’t automatically qualify for inclusion on the ballot are eligible for nomination.

“The slick shtick of Americans Elect; Just what Americans yearn for: A high-tech presidential ticket funded by secret Wall Street money”
Justin Elliott. Salon. December 9, 2011

The Truth Behind Americans Elect, An Our Oregon Series
BY SCOTT MOORE
A new Astroturf third party effort, funded by hedge fund millionaires, has landed in Oregon. Americans Elect is paying for signature gathering in Oregon to become recognized as a political party.
Unfortunately, the media’s reporting on Americans Elect has been uncritical, failing to ask any important questions of the shadowy group. Here’s Our Oregon’s series on the organization, exposing who’s behind them, how they operate, and what they want to accomplish.

Buddy Roemer Throws In His Lot With Americans Elect -- Which Is A Huge Mistake
Jason Linkins. Huffington Post. 12/01/2011
On the matter of money in politics, Buddy Roemer and Americans Elect are at cross-purposes.
Let's recall that Buddy Roemer has been adamant in his support for the Occupy Wall Street movement, and smash cut to the people who are behind Americans Elect, who are essentially a bunch of hedge fund managers and lobbyists:
...
Pretty much a bunch of dyed-in-the-wool one percenters. But we've only begun to examine the extent to which Americans Elect stifles Roemer's advocacy of Occupy Wall Street.
...
And the co-chairs of Americans Elect's Rules Committee? Meet Tom Sansonetti and Chris Arterton. The former is a coal industry/casino lobbyist and the latter is a funder of Joe Lieberman's Reuniting Our Country PAC. Per the Roemer campaign, these are the sorts of people who are destroying the country.
...
But in terms of Roemer's political identity, using Americans Elect as a solution to his problem is like prescribing pancreatic cancer to cure the flu. They don't share his values and they won't support his positions.

A democracy deficit at Americans Elect?
Salon. By RICHARD HASEN | 11/9/11
Campaign finance reformers have already condemned Americans Elect for switching its organizational status under the Tax Code from political organization to 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. This change allows an organization to shield its donors.

Founder of Americans Elect used tax shelter scheme
Will Evans. California Watch. July 29, 2011
The businessman behind an ambitious effort to field an alternative, nonpartisan presidential candidate has paid millions of dollars in delinquent taxes and penalties for his part in an alleged tax shelter scheme, records and interviews show.
...
The 2005 tax court opinion [PDF] found that Ackerman and his business partner had shifted $1.7 billion in tax losses from European banks to a California company.
...
Ackerman also fought another tax dispute in California stemming from his work in Beverly Hills as a top aide to former “junk bond king” Michael Milken in the 1980s.
..
Ackerman’s lawyer at the time also hired a Sacramento lobbyist to get a bill introduced that would change state tax law. A Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee analysis noted that the bill, introduced in 2005 by state Sen. Bob Dutton, R–Rancho Cucamonga, appeared to solely benefit Ackerman, at a cost of $5 million to the state. The bill went nowhere.

Americans Elect: Can an Internet-Powered 3rd Party Transform 2012?
BY MICAH L. SIFRY |TECH President| Monday, July 25 2011
Unfortunately, I have severe doubts about the prospects of Americans Elect being that party. Why? First, because it isn't being transparent about its funding. Second, because control of the party isn't genuinely vested in its members. Third, because it's not being truthful with the public about its political agenda. Instead, I think Americans Elect could actually be a devilishly brilliant leveraged buyout of our broken electoral system that could have the perverse effect of reinforcing the same brain-dead politics we already have.

Americans Elect: A new political party that isn’t
By Greg Lucas | Capitol Weekly| 04/21/11
“They’re very secretive,” said Richard Winger, the long-time publisher of Ballot Access News. “I found out about their petition drive independent of them.”
Americans Elect, which became a 501(c) 4 corporation in September, can be as secretive as it wishes. As a 501(c) 4 it is not required to report who its contributors are.
However, prior to becoming a 501(c) 4, the group was required to divulge it's sources of income.
