Is the December, 20, 2002 Harry Reid quote about Trent Lott's resignation a Hoax?

I can't find the original AP story about Harry Reid claiming that.....
"He had no alternative," the Nevada Democrat and Senate minority leader said. "Senator Lott dug himself a hole and he didn't dig it all in one setting. He dug it over the years. And he couldn't figure out a way to get out of it."
Asked if the episode would serve as a warning to weigh his own words carefully, Reid said: "You play how you practice."
Quote:
"If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it's that much easier to say ethnic things publicly. I've always practiced how I play."

It sounds fake, and I can't find it on google. I suppose it is possible that it appeared in a smaller, local paper and never made it onto the internet. However, if that is case, show a picture of the article as it appeared in the newspaper back then.
For now, I am calling the quotes a hoax.

CHASE BANK SUPERVISORS REFUSE TO USE THE WORDS OPT OUT when adding notes to a customers account, Chase bank is above the Law, according to Chase Bank.

I was shocked to discover that the Chase Bank supervisor I talked to just moments ago
WOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, include my request to opt out of their change in terms in the account notes that are kept with each and every account.
This is beyond fascism, beyond fraud. If Chase Bank account notes are ever subpoenaed, they will only show what the customer service rep said to me, NOT what I requested in return, because the customer service supervisor REFUSED TO MAKE THEM PART OF THE RECORD! This is beyond sleaze. The excuse Chase bank gives for not noting to my own account what I am requesting is all calls are recorded and the recording represents my side of the discussion! If recorded calls are NEVER TRANSCRIBED (and they are not), can you imagine the cost to transcribe all of those calls that come in every day!

It would be so prohibitive in cost to transcribe all of those customer service phone calls that it would simply line more law practices with wads of money trying to wade through a mountain of untranscribed but recorded phone calls.

Pretty soon, I will probably no longer associate with anyone who does anything with Chase Bank on any level, other than taking care of business they already have with them.
If I know you and you walk into a Chase Bank office and open up a new account, you are dead to me, forever.

For the record, today, about one half hour ago, I requested the right to OPT OUT of the change in terms that Chase Bank has initiated on my low interest rate, LIFE OF THE LOAN credit card agreement that was already in place.
The Chase Bank supevisor REFUSED to type into the history notes of my account the following, "Customer requests the right to OPT OUT of the Change in Terms on their account", request denied.
Chase Bank REFUSED to place that ONE SENTENCE in my own account history. Screw you Chase Bank. To deny me ONE SENTENCE to state what I was requesting, so that later on there would PROOF in the notes that I requested something, is deceptive, fraudulent, and the work of a company that is evil beyond words. In essence, Chase Bank would not even ACKNOWLEDGE MY REQUEST!

Since when can ANYBODY TELL US WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT EVEN ASK FOR!

Barack Obama and Jamie Dimon, I pray those two are discovered as being in cahoots with each other in illegal activities and both go down at the same time via the FBI, sooner rather than later. Specifically, Jamie Dimon assisting ACORN last year in illegally collected credit card donations to Barack Obama's campaign, and this year, Barack Obama looking the other way as Chase Bank, breaks the bank in hostile actions towards its own customers.

HOW YOU CAN HELP! MAKE A DAILY-PROTEST.com sign and put it where others will see it. Daily-Protest.com signs can be placed in a storefront window, a bulletin board at work, or a countertop. Raise curiosity and awareness about how Chase Bank is harming a LOT of of their BEST customers by making a Daily-Protest.com sign.

When Oil Prices Rise, is it possible the additional oil profits go to prop up stock market share prices?

One variable in the 2008 stock market crash that I don't think was adequately addressed by the mainstream media was the role of ultra high oil prices and the use of huge oil profits to possibly falsely prop up the stock market.

I believe it is possible that the huge profits made from gasoline hitting 4.50 a gallon in the United States and and a barrel of oil staying well over a 100 hundred dollars, even between 115 and 135 dollars for a sustained period of time, may have falsely propped up the stock market for several months while also creating huge profit streams in the credit card industry as well. The credit card profit streams resulted from increased use of credit cards to pay for higher priced food and transportation items, plus the rising cost of transporting those goods.

When falsely inflated oil prices started descending, the stock market "mad money" spending began drying up and was no longer available to keep stock prices artificially inflated, and everything came crashing down. The sub-prime mortgage fiasco may have actually been masked by the oil profits money going into the stock market, actually making the crash that much worse when the cost of oil began dropping.

I don't want to oversimplify this, but one can make a correlation between huge oil profits driving the credit card industry into short term profitability, which in turn excites other stock market sectors into a short term rise in perceived value as well.

Beginning from June 2009, the next several months and perhaps even longer, if oil prices keep creeping up and somehow magically the stock market share prices also keep rising, be very careful about investing because there could be a very insidious relationship between rising oil profits and a rising stock market that is built on "mad" oil profits money versus true stock market stability.
Here is one simple economic rule to cling to, there can be no true economic recovery if consumer credit card debt remains near one trillion dollars and interest rates on this debt remains at 20 to 30% interest.
What I find frustrating is that I think the world needs higher oil prices and oil profits to invest in the development of alternative forms of energy. However, in a capitalistic society, we don't force people into spending their profits in a way that may benefit the planet, that is something a socialistic society might do. (gasp).

So there you have the gift of the Magi. Capitalism can create higher oil profits that can lead to helping to solve future energy problems if the profits are spent wisely, but it probably takes a non-capitalistic approach to actually enforce how the oil profits money is spent.

Clearly, capitalism needs a "friend".

WARNING, new Google Base email may be a fraud by those looking to steal your identity or personal information...OR NOT!

(Edit note, it looks like I am in error)

Whenever I am asked to sign in for a "new" or "upgraded" service, If I bother to click on the link at all, I ALWAYS check the URL ADDRESS.

For instance.  I recently received an invite from "Google Base".  But the link URL the email provided looked like this..
http://base.google.com/base/?gsessionid=JMfSM2buUGreiZrqWLbHUw
If the word Google is not immediately after the two forward slashes, I think that means it is a Phishing site looking to steal your information and perhaps do you some kind of identity theft or some other form of harm.

If you want to cut and paste the URL from above you will see that the site looks just like google base, but if you then google "google base", you will find that the word google is indeed directly after the two forward slashes, like this...  
http://www.google.com/base/
I hope you were not "phished" upon by the presumably fake google base email before reading this post.

Barack Obama Rumor about his residency and Occidental College, is it a hoax?

I was sent the following email that included an alleged press release news item from the "AP". There were three more paragraphs but the first one has everything in it that caused numerous conservative blogs to jump on the story.  However, this "AP" story actually does not appear to exist.

 AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama'scollege transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia asan undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit broughtby the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright FoundationScholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student mustclaim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide thesmoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking.

When I tried to do a google of the phrase "certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications" in the google news section, NOTHING comes up.  

If I do a general google of the web, several dozen or more pages show up with this "AP story". I think it is a hoax since it does not show up as an AP story when I do a google news search.

Joe the Plumber & Ron the Roofer, meet Peggy from Pennsylvania. Learn how Chase Bank hurts the Elderly, Cancer Survivors, and Responsible Bill Payers.


First it was Joe the Plumber, then Ron the Roofer, now it is time to meet Peggy from Pennsylvania. Peggy doesn't miss her payments and pays on time, thus making her and her cancer stricken family a toxic asset in the jaundiced eyes of the new age banking community.

If you aren't being charged an obscene credit card interest rate, you too can be labeled a toxic asset. To learn more about Peggy and how Chase seems to live for the thrill of destroying the american dream of those who weave that dream into jobs and services for middle america, Please Click here and learn more at Daily-Protest.com

It is as if it has become the job of the Credit Card Companies to make as many stand up americans "bitter" as is inhumanely possible.

Unacceptable, irresponsible lines have been crossed by the credit card banking industry and unless people like me, (Alessandro Machi) outsiders who haven't taken this lying down, are truly empowered, we all will continue to be at the mercy of draconian changes at the drop of a board meeting, any time, any place.

Yes, I want to be the equivalent of an Italian Jesse Jackson. A gadfly paid by the Credit Card industry to help stop the credit card companies from doing the wrong thing, something they just seem naturally capable of doing, over and over and over.

Until passionate outsiders who never enter the boardrooms of these companies can actually have sway over credit card industry proposals via their own independent websites, we will continue to be at the mercy of sociopath mentalities that can't help themselves as they hurt middle america.

Please read Peggy from Pennsylvania's story and then realize that this is going on all over america. Everything the banks have done when it comes to the credit card industry have BEEN THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT they should be doing. I'll be exposing those Credit Card Company wrongs one by one in a future article.

REWARD! ONE MILLION DOLLAR REWARD to ACORN INSIDER who LINKS ACORN with BARACK OBAMA'S MAXED OUT DONOR LIST and FUZZY CREDIT CARD DONATIONS.

HAPPY AFTER APRIL FOOLS DAY FOOLS DAY JOKE.

Why doesn't some rich person offer a reward to any ACORN informant willing to explain how all of those fake names with authentic credit card donations made it into Barack Obama's campaign coffers?

At the end of the day, can any campaign and resulting presidency be allowed to legally stand for a full term if it is known that tens of millions of dollars were donated illegally through those closely associated with the Barack Obama presidential campaign?

Sarah Palin attacked again by MSNBC, "MSNBC Watch", how can we make this happen?



I believe the FCC is our biggest hope for reigning in fraudsters like MSNBC. I happened to catch part of David Schusters morning act Dec 02, 2008, when he sort of wings the news as it comes up. (later on he has his own one hour show with a bit more structure to it). 

It looks to me like MSNBC flings their own editorials up on the screen and reports it as news. Schuster gave a big build up to a Sarah Palin interview at the governors convention in which he accused Palin of asking for government entitlements after being against them during the presidential race. It looked to me like Schuster never even saw the clip before they ran it. Schuster introduces the anti Palin viewpoint with a tone in his voice that implies that this is "Sarah being Sarah". 

They run the interview clip of Sarah, it lasts around 1-2 minutes, and there is nothing in it to substantiate Schuster's claim. Schuster actually has to make an amended comment after the Palin clip is run because he KNOWS there is nothing there to substantiate the malicious, slandering build up.The problem is, the damage has been done. People who are sort of watching and not paying attention just sort of roll their eyes and assume it's "another Sarah Palin gaffe". 

Just like many of the other MSNBC initiated "gaffe accusations" against Sarah Palin that have come before, this one is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing but MSNBC's attempt to stain Sarah Palin. My theory is that Arianna Huffington was behind this one, using her behind the scene access to try and spin crap against either Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton.

On Schusters show later in the day, the spin has been altered to "the democrats smell blood" surrounding Sarah Palin and "are going in for the kill". Didn't Sarah Palin just help elect a Republican congress person in Georgia? Is this MSNBC's plan, to always try and defile anyone who helps achieve success against a Barack Obama plan or initiative?

LA Times Article about Barack Obama Campaign Donations has Donors in Denial that Obama Raised over 200 Million Dollars in Undocumented Donations.

The LA Times seems to have a hot topic on their hands about Barack Obama's Campaign Donations. I have seen several articles, even in the mainstream media magazines such as Time and Newsweek that reveal Donors could use fake names and addresses when making a donation to Barack Obama, as long as the credit card was real, the donation would go through.

If you look at the reader responses to the LA Times Article, Barack Obama donors immediately pounce and attack anyone who mentions the fraudulent fundraising that went on. They call those who bring up the 200 million dollars in undocumented donations, sore losers. Check it out, Barack Obama's Small Donors Lash Out.

Did MSNBC & POLITICO.com CIRCUMVENT IRS TAX LAWS by BARTERING?



Sure looks to me in the image above that MSNBC and Politico.com are bartering their services back and forth, but are they reporting this barter to the IRS? MSNBC gets an "authority" on a subject to appear for free on their television station, and in turn the guest pimps the name of their website in the background the ENTIRE TIME the guest is shown as seen above. This appears to me to be bartering, an exchange of services, which can be construed as income and therefore taxable.

I believe in live and let live, but the method above was one of the prime ways that MSNBC defeated Hillary Clinton this year. Pundits from Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Time, and Newsweek would appear on MSNBC and act like they were an impartial observer when they usually had a preordained position of supporting Barack Obama or slamming Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Many times, it appears that in lieu of being paid, the "Pundit" had a book they had written that would be publicized during their appearance, and on top of that the company they worked for (such as Time or Newsweek) was publicized by MSNBC as well.

This is a form of bartering, and since this privilege was abused by MSNBC to help Barack Obama defeat Hillary Clinton, I think payback, IRS payback, is in order. What do you think? If you know somebody who works for the IRS, ask them what they think.
