Next month, Pickens’ company, Mesa Power, will begin buying land and ordering 2,700 wind turbines that will eventually generate 4,000 megawatts of electricity – the equivalent of building two commercial scale nuclear power plants – enough power for about 1 million homes.

“These are substantial,” said Pickens, speaking to students at Georgetown University on Thursday. “They’re big.”

Pickens knows a thing or two about big. He heads the BP Capital hedge fund with over $4 billion under management, and earned about $1 billion in 2006 making big bets on commodity and equity markets.

Though a long-time oil man, Pickens said he has embraced the call for cleaner energy sources that don’t emit heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

“I’m an environmentalist – I can pass the saliva test,” he said.

But Pickens is not out to save the planet. He intends to make money.

Though Pickens admits that wind power won’t be as lucrative as oil deals, he still expects the Texas project to turn at least a 25 percent return.

“When I go into these markets, I expect to make money on them,” Pickens said. “I don’t expect to lose.”

With a name like topgun, you know you’re dealing with a high school drop-out.

Or a Tom Cruise wannabe. :-D

I think Sam Seder would be an excellent choice.

Reaffirms what I’ve believed since 9-12-01. Frightening indeed.

In brief: The conspiracy of corruption by the US including assassination of elected officials that wouldn’t play ball in the corporate takeover of the world.

Wrong again, dipus oshiticus.

Wise people from any political ideological background find Moyers quite a engaging journalist and Stewart a wry comic. It’s you pissed-on-boot-lickers who only see things in high contrast, black or white only. You’re totally colorblind to nuances.

I listen to 1090 in Seattle on my way to work, and they’ve got some center/left guy named Bill Press on the 5AM time slot.
He’s a complete dipshit, name dropper and corporate stooge.

I have him on my station too, he is really annoying.

You mean EXACTLY HOW 9/11 occurred, during operation Vigilant Guardian, or some such????

The sheeple are asleep, and willing allow mass-murder for the benefit of only a few.

Marie Says:

Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds, who organized the event – is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter. She didn’t see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton — I really hate that Clinton and her supporters are so low in their level of ethics.

Joe Scarborough on his show this morning said to Mika, “You think the Clintons paid of Reverend Wright don’t you?”

randi’s show is rotating guest hosts, feeling out the audience i guess…

If you read a single article, I strongly suggest reading this one: False Flag Prospects, 2008 — Top Three US Target Cities by Captain Eric H. May. The following are exerts:

The easiest way to carry out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out.

My aim, as a former military intelligence officer who spent five years with the U.S. Army 75th Division conducting military war games, is to convince the American people that the “next 9/11″ — constantly promised by officials and the media — is likely to be carried out under the guise of future military exercises. If the American people are aware of pending exercises and the danger they represent, then the exercises cannot “go live” and effect the very terror events that they are supposed to be rehearsing against.

“Good morning. At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning new attacks on our country. Their goal is to bring destruction to our shores that will make September the 11th pale by comparison.” — George W. Bush, Feb. 13, 2008

We can only stop the deadly drift of America by understanding 9/11 and anticipating the next 9/11. Many of the vociferous voices impeding our understanding and anticipation are performing a vital service for treason. The federal government once used counterintelligence programs (COINTELPRO) against the Vietnam era antiwar and civil rights movement, and common sense would suggest that they are using it again in the post-9/11 era, this time against the antiwar and 911 truth movement. The most dangerous voices of all our those from false friends who have infiltrated us to confuse us until the traitors who carried out 9/11 can repeat their performance.

Read this article. It’s quite frightening.

And then this one for a little perspective on the Republicans Plan for a Double Whammy:

Agreed Satirev. Charlie Rose on PBS. Bill Maher on HBO and John Stewart on Comedy Central. Those are the places that truth exists today.

Don’t forget Bill Moyers on PBS. A serious journalist and one of the remaining few.

Exit ~ If Thom or Steph are out, we’ll know the complete fix is in…

122. I don’t think so. AAR fired Randi Rhodes, and Clear Channel hired her.

Rhodes voluntarily RESIGNED.
