Mayor Presents Black Man Clay with Award on Eve of Controversial Video Release
Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) September 11, 2008
Black Man Clay calls the listeners to “Stand up! For your rights!” and sings “We’re not going to take it!” The video shows the disturbing real images of the police state America has become, as captured Democracy Now!’s cameras.
Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman was arrested while questioning police about the unlawful detention of Producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar, who were arrested while they carried out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstration at the Republican National Convention.
The Ramsey County Attorney’s office is in the process of deciding whether or not to press felony P.C. (probable cause) riot charges against Democracy Now! Producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar.
During the demonstration in which the Democracy Now! team was arrested, law enforcement officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and excessive force against protesters and journalists. Several dozen demonstrators were also arrested during this action, as was a photographer for the Associated Press.
Producer and co-songwriter Eric Heithaus stated, “We made this music video to help create awareness of what is happening to our basic constitutional rights, freedom of press is a cornerstone of our democracy. I admire Amy Goodman very much, she is a great journalist and an American hero.”
Today it is critical that you make your voice heard in the Ramsey County Attorney and St. Paul City Attorney offices. Demand that they drop all pending and current charges against journalists arrested while reporting on protests outside the Republican National Conventions. The information to contact the Saint Paul County Attorney’s and City Attorney is at the end of the music video. To watch the video go to blackmanclay.com.

Jesse Ventura Talks About Homeland Security “Gestapo,” Hollywood Secrets & More
http://www.prisonplanet.com/ventura-warns-of-homeland-security-gestapo-takeover-of-america.html
In an exclusive new video for Prison Planet.tv subscribers, former Governor Jesse Ventura warns that Homeland Security is rapidly becoming the American Gestapo, as Ventura still fumes over the fact that the feds tried to stop him from filming the JFK memorial at Arlington Cemetery.
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura visited Austin, Texas last week to work on the next season of his hit TV show “Conspiracy Theory.” Alex Jones had a chance to catch up with the governor while driving around for the shoot.
While the show is top secret until it airs, Jesse did disclose some of the harassment he and his crew have received during production, including being barred by the Army from filming Kennedy’s eternal flame at Arlington National Cemetery.
When Ventura’s production team attempted to go through the proper channels to get permission to film the JFK memorial, they were refused on the basis that that the Army didn’t like the content of Ventura’s show. They were also lied to when the feds told Ventura that the Kennedy family held jurisdiction over who was allowed to film the memorial, a claim vehemently denied by a Kennedy family spokesman.
Ventura refuses to let the issue drop and is calling for the individual who made the decision to be fired on the basis that he is allowing his personal political viewpoints to interfere with his job.

How much of government income from taxes is wasted or stolen through bribery and corruption?
What percentage of SA government revenue is being inappropriately spent or stolen by thugs in government in the RSA?
Today I read that a mayor in Kwazulu, who has a fast food dependency, is getting all his food paid for by the state, illegally of course. The bribery and corruption in government is absolutely disgusting.
Man by now the dude must look like a beached whale. Man macdonalds is making a lot of cash out of this.

How much corruption do you think there really is in Michigan Politics?
Detroit had Two corrupted Mayors before they finally got the Mayor they have now. Michigan has had two Governors who are either extremely incompetent or, clever enough to cover up their form of corruption with an act of incontinence.
I heard Grand Rapids has a semi corrupted city council as well. How corruption is there in Michigan politics that the general public has no idea about?
That is two governors in the past 12 years.
Colman Young was corrupt but, he wasn’t as nearly corrupted as Kwame Kilpatrick was.
How much by measure, I don’t know, but we all know that Michigan was in recession before the rest of the country due to your incompetent governor whom drove the state into ruin, but then started ad campaigns to attract specifically "green" technology and companies.
I would’nt be surprised if it were all planned due to hack politicians falling for that green jobs BS and global warming hoax.
Government does many corrupt things to get thier way. In California we often have to deal with cycles of politicians over-spending the budget but then whining that they need more money. And they usually get it due to left wing moron’s falling for the same trick cycle after cycle. The government threatens libraries, schools, police protection and fire, but never cut government jobs or unions. Eventually they cave to the threats

What do you think? If corruption is an easy and efficient way to make a profit, then in a capitalist…?
If corruption is an easy and efficient way to make a profit, then in a capitalist system corruption exists unless proven otherwise – particularly if "extreme profits" are being made.
What do you think?
Go to countries such as the Philippines, and you’ll find how corruption affects every fiber of society, including business. Try as they might to stop corruption, it has been so ingrained in the system that it is so hard to fight it
Take for example a bridge project
On paper, the plan and budget approved was for a 4 lane bridge say for $100 million
But corruption kicks in. The mayor wants a cut. The guys in the Department of Public Works wants a cut. The middleman wants a cut.
The result is a 2 lane bridge for $200 million — with about half going into the pockets of corrupt officials
So is it profitable? YOU BET — but only for the politicians. Not for the business owners who must pay for these additional expenses as pay off to corrupt officials.
Corruption makes the cost of doing business more expensive. It is not ideal for businesses. That’s why countries known to have high corruption such as the Philippines find it difficult to attract foreign investments because investors know that their costs is so much higher.

Consider what multibillionaire banker David Rockefeller wrote in his 2002 memoirs:
“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
Read Rockefeller’s words again. He actually admits to working against the “best interests of the United States.”
