    It is amazing how many "findings" in the "law" can be drummed up when you want to steal something, especially property.  They have more ways to try to make things look legitimate than you can even imagine, the underworld has nothing - is not even close to the over-world.

    "Robbers, horse thieves, - - bandits, people of the worst sort. Hey! ..... But you steal people's lives."
    Script from Mask Of Zorro (speaking to government "officials")

    Whether it is colonial or domestic the truth remains the same -

    In Dr. Edward Said's last volume, On Late Style, he does a critique on the content and style of Gramsci. In Italy there was a great division between the north and the south, so that when they were unified there was this great gap still apparent in the economic, social, and political actualities. Of interest in his critique is the cogent way he speaks of "intermediaries" and their purpose, which is no different in the United States today:

    "What the unification of Italy did to places like Sicily,
    Naples, and Sardinia was to arrest and distort, then
    to isolate them in their lopsided social, economic,
    and certainly political actualities. To Gramsci, then, the
    south appears, he says memorably, like a vast social
    disintegration: a large mass of destitute and oppressed
    peasants are preyed on by a class of parasitic
    intermediaries (priests, teachers, tax collectors) on
    behalf of a small group of land owners."

    Dr, Edward W. Said, On Late Style, pg. 101

    Have you noticed the new blue band at the top of Youtube? It has information in it, what is the information?

    "BREAKING NEWS: FOR THE LATEST VIDEOS FROM IRAN, VISIT..." blah blah blah

    Hey, they are going to get their pound of flkeash out of this service also, until they turn it into the tool - the whore, of the ruling elite. A part of the propaganda machine.
