		<description>If you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias?

That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fx15x.bloggum.com&quot; title=&quot;fx15&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fx15&lt;/a&gt; From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.orjinallidax.blogcu.com&quot; title=&quot;lida, orjinal lida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Orjinal Lida&lt;/a&gt; It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guzelsikis.com&quot; title=&quot;siki?&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sikis&lt;/a&gt; Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article.

		<description>This is another example that the &quot;old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lidasatis.com&quot; title=&quot;lida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Lida&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.harikasohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;Sohbet, sohpet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealsohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.canlarseslichat.com&quot; title=&quot;sesli chat, sesli sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sesli chat&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealgelinlik.com&quot; title=&quot;gelinlik modelleri&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gelinlik Modelleri&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that fits this description!!  This is part of the reason that he is known as and is called &quot;Dr. No&quot;.  You have only two choices for President:  Ron Paul or the CFR!  McCain and Clinton are members already.  My understanding is that Obama has joined recently and has Zbig as his foreign policy advisor.  Huckabee has Richard N. Haass, the President of the CFR, as his foreign policy advisor.  Thanks for your time.</description>

		<description>The sex angle is unfortunate, but it seems very important 
to some. Remember they impeached Mr. Clinton.
However the real story here is to see the McCain from &quot;The 
Keating 5&quot; and not to be surprised that there are more 
similar accusations. And there will undoubdtedly be more.

Unfortunately, the reality of today&#039;s corporate world is that buying oneself out is a norm.   

The corporation breaks the law or regulation.  
When caught, you can&#039;t jail a corporation.
The corporation is assessed a fine.
The corp gets the fine decreased.
The corp looks on it as the cost of doing business.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Everyone who donates to a campaign either does so because they believe their interests are best served by that person, or they hope that their contribution will change the voting habits of that person. The only way to eliminate this factor is publicly funded elections. And weâ€™ve seen how interested Republicans tend to be in thoseâ€¦

There&#039;s a huge difference between an individual who contributes to a politician&#039;s campaign and a lobbyist who is representing an entire industry and doing it with huge amounts of cash.  If I make a $25 campaign donation to a politician because I would like him to work hard for the environment, do you think that politician is likely to change his thinking or his vote?  Then think about a lobbyist for the telcom industry who will funnel $100,000 into my next campaign.  Now, do you think that I am likely to tell that person, &quot;no&quot;?</description>
