60 Minutes of Lies on 60 Minutes (published Monday, 06 October 2008 09:50)


	Keep in mind that part of the definition of a lie is to intentionally leave a false
impression. Those of you who know this site or have heard my presentation know that there
are many ways to lie, or leave a false impressions, without actually making false
statements. You can also simply right out lie however. Or, you can just make a claim as
truth that can't be proven be true. Well tonight 60 Minutes hit the trifecta!

	Without getting into too much detail I want to point out the major lies, or deceptions
that took place on 60 Minutes tonight. They did three pieces. Here is my mini summary:

	* TOPIC: THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN. The conclusion drawn on 60 Minutes tonight, and left to
linger with the public, is that this meltdown was cause by across the board incompetence
at the highest levels of every major investment company in the world...simultaneously!
This comment was sheer speculation but delivered to the public as fact. This speculation
is not only implausible but it is absurd to think that every senior member of every
financial establishment placed their entire industry and our global financial system at
risk by betting the house on the riskiest investments that were doomed to fail. These
investments, as described on 60 minutes, stood no chance of succeeding yet we are to
believe that it was incompetence that created this crisis, and was not, as has been
predicted and exposed by many people who understand our financial system,  a coordinated
and planned financial coup by the international bankers who control our money system. We
are talking about people who live their lives to make money. They are greed based
people...smart greed based people, who are too greedy to risk everything! They are not
degenerate gamblers, they are degenerate business men! Successful, savvy degenerate
business men, who would not risk their own wealth and careers on garbage! Of course, this
too is speculation but it is based in a more solid foundation of facts and plausibility
than the speculation delivered to us as fact by the gatekeepers on 60 Minutes.
	* TOPIC: ELECTRIC CARS. Not once during the report on the new crop of electric cars by
GM and other companies, was either the new car that runs on compressed air (France/India)
or the latest car that runs on water (Japan) mentioned. (You can see videos of both of
these cars in the TvNewsLIES.org members' only video section). One would think that a so
called important news program like 60 Minutes would at least investigate technologies that
could have a global revolutionary impact on our world. They did discuss the viability of
electric cars tonight, electric cars that run on electricity, or fuel cells, that rely of
coal as a source of hydrogen. But they would never let the American people know that there
are cars out there their do not require any fossil whatsoever! And for those of you who
say these cars don't exist, even though they are available for inspection and in the case
of the air car, going into mass production, you can not deny that the claims are worth
investigating! Again, gate keeping by 60 Minutes.
	* THE OSAMA HUNT. I am not even going to go into this one. All I will tell you, is that
as a novice student of body language I know what excessive blinking means. Watch the
episode and count how many times the Delta Force guy blinks, and notice that he only
blinks while he is telling his story...and I do mean story! I also know enough to realize
that a member of a top secret military group like Delta Force does not make public
appearances and disclose sensitive information without government approval...and probably
government provided scripts. 60 Minutes was once stopped from airing the testimony of a
tobacco industry whistle blower, yet we are supposed to believe that anything but an
officially approved story about Osama bin Laden could air without a peep from government
officials? The legend of Osama is continually kept alive. This story, in my opinion, was
just as valid as was the magical plane explosion resistant passport of a the called
terrorist that was found in the street on 9/11 after having survived the fireball that we
all witnessed! The black box did not make it...but the passport did...and so did tonight's
segment on 60 Minutes.

	Anyone who deos not watch or listen to news without sceptisism at this point is simply a
fool. I however, question what I see, especially when it is delieverd in the form of an
expose. Because these days, almost everything that the establishment media reports to us
is reported to us for a reason....and you can bet that journalism has nothing to do with
it! It should not take a thinking person more than 60 seconds to see through the 60
minutes of deception delivered by 60 Minutes! Think about it! Jesse Richard - Editor,
TvNewsLIES.org.

U.S. to allies: Fight in Afghanistan or write check (published Monday, 06 October 2008 09:48)


	The United States has asked Japan and NATO allies who have refused to send troops to
Afghanistan to pay the estimated $17 billion needed to build up the Afghan army, according
to U.S. defense officials.

The push to quickly increase the size of Afghanistan's army and spread the cost of the
initiative underscores the financial and military strain the war has placed on the United
States and NATO members, many also operating in Iraq and elsewhere.

Reversal in Palin Case - 7 agree to testify (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 22:55)


	Seven Alaska state employees have reversed course and agreed to testify in an
abuse-of-power investigation against Gov. Sarah Palin.

	Lawmakers subpoenaed seven state employees to testify in the inquiry, but they
challenged those subpoenas. A judge rejected that challenge last week. Because of that
ruling, the Alaska attorney general, Talis Colberg, says, the employees have decided to
testify.

VIDEO: John McCain and the Making of the Financial Crisis (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 22:44)


	The current economic crisis demands that we understand John McCain's attitudes about
economic oversight and corporate influence in federal regulation. Nothing illustrates the
danger of his approach more clearly than his central role in the savings and loan scandal
of the late '80s and early '90s.

	John McCain was accused of improperly aiding his political patron, Charles Keating,
chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. The bipartisan Senate Ethics
Committee launched investigations and formally reprimanded Senator McCain for his role in
the scandal -- the first such Senator to receive a major party nomination for president. 


	At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which
took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors'
money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with
preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings
and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible
cost to taxpayers. 

	When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating's failed company put taxpayers on
the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain
was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the
crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

	The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of
regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed
banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John
McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

Obama to hit McCain on Keating Five (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 22:42)


	Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention
to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five”
savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him
on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Pushing back against what it calls “guilt-by-association” tactics by McCain, the
Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website,
KeatingEconomics.com, that will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at
noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to
friends.

Uighur Detainees May Be Released to U.S. (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 22:03)


	A federal judge is considering whether to order a group of detainees held at the U.S.
military prison in Guantanamo Bay released into the United States, in what would instantly
become a landmark legal decision in the years-long battle over the rights of terrorism
suspects there.

The men, a small band of Chinese Muslims who have been held for nearly seven years, are
no longer considered enemy combatants by the U.S. government, but they are caught in a
well-documented diplomatic bind.

Bank rescue deal struck as Germany guarantees savings (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 21:52)


	Germany sealed a public-private rescue plan for the country's fourth biggest bank Sunday

On a turbulent day in Europe's biggest economy, the new 50-billion-euro

talks between the government, the Bundesbank central bank, market regulators and the
banking sector.

Klein: Bush admin creats crises to 'enrich themselves and their friends' (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 21:23)


	"Whole societies also go into states of shock when there's a crisis, like when there's a
terrorist attack, or a huge natural disaster, or a huge economic crisis," said Klein.
"Something happens, people don't know what's going on, and they'll kinda do whatever
people in authority want them to do."

Klein continued: "They use shocks to enrich themselves and their friends... People are
becoming shock resistant, which is wonderful because they remember the way this
administration used the shock of Sept. 11 to build the Homeland Security industry; How
Rudy Giuliani went into that industry himself as soon as he left office. They remember how
the war in Iraq was used to privatize the government."

	TVNL COMMENT: THEY DID NOT JUST USE THE SHOCK OF 9/11...THEY CREATED IT. THEY WROTE
ABOUT IT. IT WAS THE "NEW PEARL HARBOR" THAT THEY WROTE ABOUT! BUT NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO
SAY THIS ON ANY TV NETWORK! NOT EVEN COMEDY CENTRAL!

Talks with Taliban the only way forward in Afghanistan, says UK commander (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 20:02)


	Britain is stepping up pressure for a political and diplomatic settlement to the

Vaccine for breast cancer within reach, says expert (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 20:01)

Professor Valerie Beral of Oxford University, who leads the Million Women's Study into
the causes of the disease, told the Guardian the study had put beyond doubt what had long
been guessed - that many breast cancers are caused by the absence of hormonal changes
connected with childbirth.

11 Iraqis killed in U.S. raid in Mosul (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 16:41)


	Eleven members of an Iraqi family were killed Sunday during a U.S. raid in Mosul,
including three women and three children, officials said. Neighbors told Iraqi police in
Mosul that the family was peaceful, but the U.S. military said five of the dead were
terrorists who had targeted American soldiers.

A military spokesman said at least some of the Iraqis were killed when a member of the
family detonated a suicide bomb inside the house the Americans were raiding. It's unclear
whether gunfire from U.S. soldiers is responsible for some deaths, Navy Lt. Cmdr. David
Russell said.

AP: Palin's Ayers Attack "Racially Tinged" (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 16:30)


	By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and doesn't
see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key
goals for a faltering campaign.

And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated
and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.

New, controversial FBI guidelines go into effect (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 07:39)


	But despite Mukasey's assurances that the new regulations "reflect consultation with
Congress as well as privacy and civil liberties groups," not all concerns over their
effect on privacy rights were dispelled.

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Democrat Patrick Leahy said the new guidelines
expand the FBI's powers of surveillance.

"It appears that with these guidelines, the attorney general is once again giving the FBI
broad new powers to conduct surveillance and use other intrusive investigative techniques
on Americans without requiring any indication of wrongdoing or any approval even from FBI
supervisors," Leahy said in a statement.

"The American people deserve a vigilant Justice Department that does not sacrifice or
endanger their rights and privacy," he added.

And let Sarah Palin become POTUS (published Sunday, 05 October 2008 01:06)


	Sarah Palin is the person we need (and deserve) to lead us on our incessant quest for
global hegemony and in our ongoing orgiastic gang rape of the Earth. A former beauty
pageant contestant noted for her fierce competitiveness who would easily qualify as a MILF
in the pornography industry and who takes great pride in her capacity to stick her head up
her ass and go for it instead of “blinking,” this “lipstick pitbull” embodies
nearly all that we worship in a nation fueled principally by narcissism, arrogance,
willful ignorance, and belligerence. She may lack the obscene wealth that also triggers
our reflexive genuflection, but she will acquire that in time.

Like George Bush, who is demonstrably imbecilic and morally retarded, the “hockey
mom” who “worked her way to the top with grit and determination,” also fuels the
naïve, jejune notion that “anyone can be President of the United States because we live
in a democracy.” Forget the pablum concocted to pacify the masses; the POTUS could
actually be ‘anyone who hails from a family with direct ties to the power elite of our
bourgeois democracy or who shares their sociopathic tendencies and is willing to sell
their souls to do their bidding.’ But who amongst us wants to burden our atrophying
minds attempting to understand complexities when the simplistic sweet little lies are so
much more palatable and takes so few brain cells to process?

As is befitting of a huntress extraordinaire, Palin provides an endless supply of red
meat for the benighted, socially conservative American masses to devour with the ferocity
of the hungry wolves she loves to annihilate:

Jewish 'modesty patrols' sow fear in Israel (published Saturday, 04 October 2008 22:04)


	In Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a
back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they
consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse, and
attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet.

In recent weeks, self-styled "modesty patrols" have been accused of breaking into the
apartment of a Jerusalem woman and beating her for allegedly consorting with men. They
have torched a store that sells MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to
download pornography.

German bank announces collapse of 35 billion euro rescue (published Saturday, 04 October 2008 19:37)


	German bank Hypo Real Estate (HRE) said Saturday that a planned 35-billion-euro
(48-billion-dollar) rescue had fallen through after the banking consortium involved pulled
out of the deal.

The rescue bid was the biggest in German history and came after HRE was sucked into the
global financial turmoil through its inability to refinance debt, one of many high-profile
European emergency cases in the past two weeks.

HRE said in a statement that a consortium of German banks taking part in the rescue had
"refused to provide liquidity lines" and that it was seeking new measures.

The property lender said it was in the process of "determining the consequences" of the
consortium's withdrawal on various divisions and that it would seek other solutions.
