Greeks Bearing Gifts -- Michael C. Ruppert
Paul Krugman at the New York Times and Clinton FEMA Director James Lee Witt Leading America Into the Next Slaughter

September 6, 2005 1100 PST (FTW) – Following is a story by Paul Krugman of the New York Times which basically lays the blame for all these “failures” (how sick we are of hearing that word after 9/11) at the feet of Bush funding cuts at the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) since 2001. If you have been watching TV at all – who hasn’t? – you have also seen former Clinton FEMA Director, James Lee Witt emerging as a knight in white armor saying basically the same thing. Yes, it’s true that under the Clinton administration many of these challenges were better addressed and planned for. But that was before Peak Oil and climate collapse.

Can you hear Hillary and Bill chuckling? The Clinton administration also helped create the greater canvas on which these new brush strokes are being placed. Have you forgotten that Bill Clinton and Bush I are great buddies, traveling the world together? George Herbert Walker Bush just loves Bill Clinton. Why is that?

Beware America. Beware.

2. I Surprised This Thread Dropped So Fast
Oh well, I am only trying to bring it to people's attention. I think Ruppert's got a point here. Let's not get suckered.

3. I put down 'Crossing the Rubicon' last June,
partly because I had other things to attend to, but mostly because of the incredulity. May have to make another attempt at it.

Americans have been shown a preview this week of the blueprint the government will use during Peak Oil, when the number of 'refugees' will far surpass those from NOLA.

4. I found the book very believable
He carefully documented all his sources and built his case, and truthfully I can believe most anything of that bunch that is "running things".
