If you are an American, you might want to vote for Newt Gingerich because he likes American Idol. Can you relate?
If you are a Constitutionalist and believe that the rights and freedoms of Americans are under attack, then you might want to vote for Ron Paul. But don’t expect for the establishment to share your sentiment.
And, for the other GOP candidates, who among them would stand with Ron Paul? Who would want to reduce the war effort to near zero, attack the privately run Federal Reserve, go after Obamacare and go to a fully private system, reduce government interference in the free market to zero? Who would dare stand with Ron Paul?
In the clips below, let’s start with RT and Gerald Celente, and then move to the close, the GOP debate broadcast on CNN.
The best question John King asked the other night was who would Ron Paul have run with him? Paul was quick-witted and understanding enough to leave that to them.
After all, would the candidate look at the honor with pride or the kiss of political death? Who would dare take the real stand to address the issues that are wrong in the United States?
The above pic is from a German newspaper. It shows some of the attendees at this year’s Bilderberg meeting. Henry Kissinger is a regular attendee, and is wanted on charges of war crimes in Switzerland.
Earlier in the weekend, an emergency on an airplane was reported, where an ambulance showed up, but not before a red carpet was laid from the plane. The ambulance was later reported to be pulling into the hotel where the Bilderberg meeting was to take place. Could it have been a diversion for Kissinger to avoid Swiss authorities?
Some of the controlled-media headlines included such blatant opposites to reality as “May the Holy Spirit be with them”. Something tells me the Holy Spirit may be monitoring them, but certainly not with them.
Fox News in the U.S. are reportedly telling viewers and listeners that it is no big deal that over 130 of the most powerful in the world are meeting in secret. And the little coverage they did have was meant to pacify those Fox-believers – - that have not taken a serious look at the issues, and who choose to believe what mainstream media feeds them.
Today, at 12 PM Swiss time, there is an international protest rally scheduled, that you may be able to catch live at this JustinTV feed or this one.
This year’s Bilderberg meeting should prove to be the most controversial ever, as the world is catching on to the agenda, in direct contrast to the media’s feeble attempt to downplay the importance of the decisions made in secret, that control the goings on in our world.
I cannot say which is worse: The realization that false flag events are a reality, or watching media propaganda so flagrantly flop in the wind, and blow whichever way they are directed. Unbelievable….nobody is buying this fantasy on bin Laden’s death, but they keep churning out the lies, and spinning perception to where they need it to go.
It’s not a question of what to say, it’s a question of how to say it. Where do you start on the realization that seeing the agenda unfold on Fox News and other sources is so blatant and obvious, that it blows the mind that people might actually still hold hope that Fox is the “official opposition” to the current Obama Administration, and the mouthpiece of the Republican Party. The game is so obvious and contrived, it really gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Let’s start here.
For months, every member of Fox News was bashing President Obama on all issues. Glenn Beck was perhaps the greatest attacker amongst the pack of news/ commentator jockies, but not long after he learned of his walking papers from Fox, his loyalty to them remains intact regardless. Yes, you will not find the security guard waiting to watch Beck pack up his office in a banker’s box, and escorting him to the door, and by the way Mr. Beck, your keys please. Not a chance. Beck has said it himself, he believes there will be a place for him at Fox.
More like, a new assignment to continue to further the propaganda cause.
Whether Beck believes he is doing tremendous good, in retrospect is not the issue. What seems more important is his being part of the bigger agenda to build up Fox’s credibility as the official police of the White House and Obama, so that when they decide to say Obama did a good thing in killing Osama bin Laden, we are all supposed to say, “even Fox agrees so it must be true”.
Obama has done a great job, and he “really did” have Osama killed. So, there is no true “we got to get rid of Beck because even we can’t take the level of ‘truth’ he brings”, no!
It get’s better as we all know. Well, check that. It gets better for those that have paid attention. Because all the people who simply do not trust the media have one thing in common – - they have paid attention. It’s that simple.
As Gerald Celente chatted with Paul Watson the other day, Celente pointed out that “Americans only hear the first lie, and then they tune out”. That would be a known fact for mainstream media. They know they can’t get to those that truly have paid attention, but the ones that tune out and “trust them”, well there’s the audience they truly serve.
Yes, they are “press-titutes” Celente went on, the only difference is “you pay for it with no happy ending”. Oh Gerald, you are still in fine form sir.
We should move on to Snidely Whiplash, aka Geraldo Rivera. He reminds me of the “medicine show” in old western movies. You know, the guy that sells snake oil, and whenever anyone challenges him on the effectiveness, or what he said before he changes his story. Smiles all around Geraldo! Osama is dead after all. Make sure you have a special complete with credible, ex-navy seals to further support the ever-changing official story.
And those people who don’t pay attention out in the public can flap in the wind along with Fox News – - both of them in a love in of joy at the death of bin Laden. Oh what a great day! America is strong and good!
Suddenly and not even begrudgingly, Fox is leading the pack as the (used to be) official pain in the White House’s rump (remember that?), to now effectively serving its ultimate purpose.
Fox has been playing the bad cop role for what has come full circle. A psy-op (psychological operation) to fool the public into believing that Osama bin Laden was actually, without question and full “right-wing” support, the only bad guy, and that it is irrefutable that Obama got the job done. Gotta hand it to him do you Beck?
Geraldo Rivera can slip in the counter-call to the criticism that the man in the photos looked young, and advise us all that bin Laden liked to dye his beard black. Oh really? Couldn’t locate him for ten years, but the intel knew he used hair dye?
Wife used as “human shield” or not? Buried at Sea for what reason exactly? Situation Room had the T.V. on or off? Which is it Fox? I am sure you will put aside your despising of the White House for a moment to cover up for them right?
Hillary Clinton and Obama should have gone to acting school before the “situation room drama scene”. Hokey! But, now that I hear Hillary explain it was her allergies I totally get it, having them myself. Yep, in the words of that T.V. game show, good answer!
Oops, training session this was not! No more so than the underwear bomber, and what snowjob was sold him to get onto the plane, assisted by the sharp-dressed operative.
Who is that you say? Herman Cain? Exactly. Let’s have an after -party won’t we Fox, with 29 supporters in an unprecidented display that support Cain. Wow, this is unprecedented the announcer came back with. Please people, really?
He “hit a home run” as one of the 29 on the panel suggested with his comment that when asked how the current politicians are doing. Cain was eluding to the fact that it is good that he has no experience in politics, because after all, with the guys in charge now, “How’s it working for you?”. Wait for the applause to end folks before volunteering to be one of the 29 that mirror exactly what the American Republican Party would want for the counter to the newly bolstered Obama.
Now, let’s also not forget the Hannity show after the debate, who ensured he mentioned that Ron Paul was not going to stick around, instead he was going to that crazy Tea Party event. Pshhhh…. missed the boat did he Hannity?
Seems Hannity got the memo on the looks and gestures that are a prerequisite to any news or comment that Ron Paul would make. If the audience applauds Paul, make sure you roll your eyes guys, and remind them to hold their applause. Good job! You are true lackies!
Contrived alert, contrived alert…..paying attention or still sleeping?
As Paul Watson of PrisonPlanet.com recently pointed out when discussing this debate in South Carolina, the only credible threat to Obama at this point is Ron Paul.
The boys at Fox should have been on their hands and knees asking Ron how he likes the buff on his shoes.
Instead, the game has shifted. Support the unknown to ensure the GOP has no chance in beating Obama.
And, what scares the Hell out of me is the revelation that the Book of Revelation tells us that the man would almost be killed (politically), but would bounce back.
Could this be it? Could the patsies be helping to fulfill what was destined to come all along? It might be worth paying attention if you aren’t already. What do you think?
What does Charlie Sheen and “Winning” have to do with Canadians wanting more hockey? Read on my friends…..Dos Equis or not!
Gotta love it, eh?
Canada, you are getting a taste now why hockey in Glendale has always been a political battle. And my theory is that there are investors in Abu Dhabi that have become a nightmare for the City of Glendale. Attached to them are the names that put the investors in touch, so to speak, with “the deal”, and they are all hoping the big penalty doesn’t come in to play. And no, it’s not even close to a game misconduct, far worse in fact. The game misconduct is in not providing the game of usury debt streams.
If it were not a political battle then, as argued before, this case would have been over a long time ago.
My daughter likes to blurt regularly, “Get over yourself”, whenever someone seems a little self righteous. And when I hear people tell us they have “told us” something many times before I agree with her. That’s what will make this situation and the far out angle we have taken come home to roost. So, excuse me for rubbing it in here shortly.
If indeed this was a pure battle of what makes the most economic hockey sense from a pure profit angle, Jim Balsillie would be putting the finishing touches on the new state of the art arena. The only issue would probably have been what to name the arena. Do we change it from Copps to RIM, or something else? What a dilemma that would be. The problem du jour would be a whole lot different than where we are today. Canadians you could simply keep focused on what you always wanted to focus on coming to makeiteighteh.com – - talk on the Coyotes and giving you the trash on the corruption. You could come looking for any dirt that would suggest Hamilton, or Winnipeg, or Quebec might get hockey back.
And worst of all, you might still be thinking if we don’t piss off Gary Bettman, we may actually get him to see Canada as a deserving place to put more hockey. Be good fellow Canucks, Gary seems to be happy about Canada today! Don’t rock the boat. Phewie! Wake up! It’s time to tip the boat over because it has a leak caused by years of corruption. The same corruption that has taken over the U.S. government and is trashing that Constitution!
When Gary Bettman asked who the Goldwater Institute answers to, he might as well have said, “Didn’t they get the memo on the new economy?”Who do they answer to indeed! Wow! Some entity not in on the taxpayer wealth stripping party! Absurd!
I am going to insert a very loaded interview between Brahm Resnik who is a broadcaster in Phoenix, but first and foremost a Canadian. He is interviewing Darcy Olsen of the Goldwater Institute that has the Constitution of the United States of America on her side. And, in a country where the current White House Administration views the Constitution as a thorn in the side of the real agenda, she is a refreshing change of pace from Corruption Incorporated. You know Brahm as the man with the twitter account who, like a gracious Canadian, answers everybody!
He even answered a good friend of mine that wrote an article for this site way back when that showed some detail about the Jobing.com bond issue – - a bubble within a bubble. Eloquently put I would say. Unfortunately Resnik at the outset commented to him that there didn’t seem to be a point. I wonder if he would care to reread it now and see if that opinion has changed, In fact why don’t you all read it again and see the points made that are suddenly becoming significant. The bubble within a bubble – - the economic sell out of Glendale.
What are the new sky is falling numbers out of Glendale’s City Hall – - $500 million and complete collapse? Why? Really? Forty home dates of hockey is going to impact a City putting in a Casino and can increase concerts? Something is not right. Where’s the real deal Glendale? Who is holding your City hostage? Why is Gary Bettman really bending over backward to spare an embarrassment that will make Jerry Moyes’ pale in comparison?
And where did my article end up? Infowars.com and the leader of the battle against the attack on that nasty Constitution.
That’s right, you may have heard of Alex Jones, if at no other time than on the View with Barbara Walters, as she was ready to blow a gasket. You see, Jones wanted to cram in as much stuff on the bad things that have been done to Americans and the Constitution that he took every opportunity to tell us all about “building 7″ in New York on 9/11, the killing of innocent Iraqis during the war on the weapons of mass destruction, and on and on. Whoopie Goldberg looked like she was taking downers for a change, trying to get Jones to slow down. It was a crazy few minutes, but a victory and a way to further the Charlie Sheen cause .
Is it any wonder Sheen is basking in the glory of destroying the New World Order and is as popular as ever for the campaign of “Winning”? The next time you watch Saturday Night Live try to separate the attack from the humor and you will see something far from funny. The system controlled by mainstream media is scared, and they are threatened.
You must excuse Charlie for looking disturbed and overcoming substance abuse. Anyone who has come from that place and is still effective at bringing attention to the issues of the day is brilliant. It is an interesting dilemma – - do you look at Charlie the man and say he is at this time a little off, or do you look at the bigger picture and agenda, and realize he truly is winning? And by winning, again, we mean drawing attention to supporting the Constitution, peoples’ rights, and freedom. Or, did you miss the whole point? He may come across as the madman across the water, but the point is the people across the water want to hear him.
When Whoopie Goldberg said she wanted to figure out what was happening with Charlie, they should have let Alex Jones have an hour to explain that Sheen’s problems happened when he wanted 20 minutes with the President. In fairness, if the system wanted to vilify you, you’d go a little nuts too!
So hockey, right?
Point is, hockey and politics, and the U.S. Constitution is all in focus. The Coyotes in Phoenix and the other NHL teams are all affected by corruption and taxpayer abuse by a sports league that is no different than the rest. John McCain has come forward to support the Coyotes because of political issues. We have seen a lot on this site, and we have shown a glimmer of those over time to you here. We have seen the politics, the ties to land developers, and we have seen the game within the game.
When we realize that the game of hockey has been held hostage to land developers and financiers, we will look at the next bubble within a bubble coming to Edmonton right now, and see it for what it really is. Edmonton is being held hostage by the “convenient excuse” that the taxpayers should own the arena, just like in Glendale. The real reason is because the taxes are guaranteed to those behind the financing, and they can score many times the value of the arena in interest payments over time.
Glendale saying that their economy will collapse makes no sense to anyone on the surface. It’s what you cannot see that is the issue. Will we let it become the issue in Edmonton too? Are they the replacement cash cow?
It’s time to realize hockey is politically driven. It’s time to join the party and start winning too.
When Resnik asked Olsen if Canadians were making contributions to the Goldwater Institute’s battle against the case for keeping the team in Glendale, it made me laugh.
It made Olsen laugh too.
As an issue for a Canadian like Resnik who really knows better because of his political analysis agenda, it shows that there has always been a more important mission. It has been a mission of human rights and freedoms. It’s all about a bigger issue of righteousness! It’s about people having rights. Like Jerry Moyes! Remember him? The man served proxies instead of compassion?
When are we going to understand there are bigger issues than hockey? And you can’t just throw money at that! In short, any Canadians who think throwing money at the Goldwater Institute will motivate them more to take on the NHL had better “get over themselves”!
It’s about WINNING!…. DUH! Winning the big picture not the little hockey picture!
While Darcy Olsen does it the politically correct way, Charlie Sheen lets it all hang out – - what’s the difference? He is in essence saying the heck with all things politically correct because politics is corrupt people! They built him up and gave him power and now he is turning the machine against themselves- – a stroke of brilliance!
Who does he need to answer to? Nobody! Who does Goldwater need to answer to — normal everyday people fed up with the system of taxpayer abuse. So, Mr. Bettman, I hope that clarifies things a little bit. After all, you did want to know who Goldwater is accountable to.
It’s all about loving the preserving of human rights! It’s about upholding the Constitution that represents those rights. And in Canada, we need to pay careful attention too.
A man’s actions define him. Sheen is overcoming all odds to show just how intelligent he is. Playing the nutbar to bring attention to himself to further the bigger issues.
If Lindsay Lohan’s drinking can bring her fame and attention, Sheen is getting more than 20 minutes with the world. Why bother trying to influence the President when you are more popular than Obama? Refreshing and fresh! Free and carefree! Liberated and fanciful!
So thank you Charlie Sheen for taking your popularity to a meaningful level, despite what they are trying to do to you! Oh, and Darcy and the Goldwater Institute: Many thanks as well.
And with Charlie Sheen’s popularity hitting an all-time high, there is something about him that attracts people. Perhaps it is the underlying truth! Maybe he should have this to say, being “the most popular man in the world”,
Barry Goldwater can rest peacefully knowing his vision may expose the con of another hidden agenda, ulterior motive
It was a tough decision. Do I go with the above quote for the title of this article, or do I use the other equally interesting and loaded quote of Mr. Gary Bettman, ” I quite frankly don’t know who the people there report to or accountable to”.
Well, one thing is clear, they don’t answer to the same people Mr. Bettman answers to, and they aren’t concerned about anything other than making sure the taxpayers aren’t getting the shaft. I can see how that could get confusing for some people.
For Olsen of the Goldwater Group a private meeting wasn’t enough sweet battatas. Bettman did not want to do a joint press conference.
Darcy Olsen, head of the Goldwater Group, can probably see when a payoff is sweet. Come on to a press conference with me Mr. Bettman, she must be thinking to herself. Let’s tell the good people what’s really up. It’s probably like when you get to work in the morning, and the 60 Minutes news crew is waiting in your office. Oh, dang!
The issue he was addressing Tuesday night was the Goldwater Group’s insistence to stick to their principles; their mandate to protect the taxpaying public.
Uh oh! Can you see the wheels spinning folks? Do you think the “game” is being called by the Goldwater Group? Have the shenanigans of the NHL and their urban development deck of cards been met by the windstorm so to speak? Is it all ready to blow over, becoming exposed?
When Gary Bettman served Jerry Moyes proxies for the league’s assistance, he told Ron McLean on HNIC that it was to stop him from doing anything radical.
Let’s think for a moment. If this league had nothing to hide, why would there be need for proxies from the Commissioner to one of the “partners” in the club that supposedly should be privy to the privilege of deciding where arenas get built, etc, etc? Would the rules be have been different for Jerry Moyes because he wasn’t in on the “development pie”?
Was Quebec City and Winnipeg told to build new arenas or we’ll send one of the teams to Phoenix where they were never sure hockey in 105 degree heat would really heat up? Why take hockey away from hockey-crazed Canadians and see if it works in the deep south, for no better reason that I can think of, than to look for the City willing to sell out to urban development?
There’s a sucker born every minute you know. The real sales job was finding that sucker, and they did in the City of Glendale. The NHL has contributed to building a deck of cards, and the only way to keep everyone happy is to continue to build.
They may have lost focus on the fans.
It would sure explain why hockey went where hockey is not popular. Why the bottom teams have to suck off the fat of where true profits lie — in the great White North (cu-loo-coo-cu-cu-coo-cu-coo!). Why the teams in the south will always need approved welfare. Where it made no sense to most of us, it makes perfect sense, in the sense, that it may never have been about hockey operations making a profit on pure hockey operations.
Where owners were truly not happy with just getting in the green because ticket sales were greater than player salaries. The salary cap is a joke.
And so, Tuesday night, Commissioner Bettman had his bluff called. The Goldwater Group wants to air to the world, without ability to read well-written speeches, that they believe this sports league has overstepped its bounds and is taking advantage of the residents and taxpayers of a City.
The Goldwater Group knows exactly what it has here.
Ironically, we laughed at the City of Glendale’s seemingly feeble legal team and argument in court. Glendale likely laughed at Goldwater.
Who’s laughing now?
To close, let’s watch the low-key Mr. Bettman tell Edmonton why they need to cough up the big tax bucks. And for God’s sake, is he trying the “sustainability as a franchise” garbage still in Canada – - the home of hockey? Surely Mr. Bettman is aware that argument is wearing thin! And Bettman has the gall to hold the card that he will pull the plug on the Oilers if a new arena is not built??! Not a threat, eh?
So where does he propose to build the next white elephant instead?!
Where is the priority? Putting hockey where market demands, or is the real money in land and urban development? It’s time we take that to a “press conference” of the NHL. The sooner the better, for the sake of the fans and the game!
It’s quite baffling how he admits the truth, but in a way that has most of us buying into the con. Is he ready to air to the world all the evidence to show who holds bonds behind the scenes, and open up the books to the profits that surround the game? Didn’t think so!
We could look at the comment that the Coyotes were never in jeopardy, and the notion was silly, when you factor in the true source of revenues. Silly us – - the taxpayers were going to pay the freight for the true “revenue streams”, right Mr. B? Masterful means to tell us the truth while we were sleeping. A marvel!
Did you know the NHL is also great at Urban Development? And we thought the problem was unique to Glendale. How silly of us!
Are there more opportunities to tap into tax dollars that have investors and owners thinking outside the box?
Oopsie! The U.S. is suffering. They’ve done all the damage they can down south, so it’s time to take the roadshow north to Canada! Rumour has it there is a good economy and plenty of tax dollars, especially in Alberta.
Doesn’t it seem a little odd that the Mayor of Edmonton, Stephen Mandel feels held hostage by a sports league trying to dictate how the development of the city will come off? At least in Glendale, you had a Mayor in Elaine Scruggs that bought the plan hook, line and sinker, and “sink” is the operative word at this point. She sold her taxpaying residents down the river.
When we studied the Phoenix Coyotes case we uncovered the City of Glendale’s desire to use the Coyotes to build their tax base, and develop their economy. We knew about the Westgate Arena Development but thought it unique. We even overlooked the link in Dallas, and the white elephant project that was more to do about urban planning, than just to bring in a good sized arena for the Stars.
It was only when we started to see the issue move north into our Canadian turf that the bell went off, and we are discovering who the common denominator of urban planning really is.
So, it’s time to work a little. Who are the private investors ready to build the Edmonton Arena District? Sounds way too familiar, doesn’t it?
We will be looking into the link between taxpayer funded sports, area development and the strange link a hockey league has to building infrastructure in not only America, it is now affecting Canada.
We will likely all need to heed the words of David Zirin, of Edge of Sports, to find out how bad owners are ruining the sport, and interestingly fitting here is how to tap the taxpayers dry with pricey development financing. Will Edmonton go the way of the Dodo bird, as Dallas and Glendale did? Canada is not as populated as these areas, so the tax base is smaller. Yikes!
How will the financing be obtained for the infrastructure of the Edmonton Arena District? In the video below of Daryl Katz, substitute Elaine Scruggs of Glendale and an eery picture starts to form.
What about the white elephant of Dallas? Was that all about development of many varieties all stemming from the hockey league too? The Victory Park Project was anything but a victory. Did Tom Hicks hold favour with the NHL when he was supported as he ran into financial trouble, while Moyes was left with proxy in hand because of the ties to land? Because, if land development was the goal, Hicks had it down:
Hicks Holdings is a partner with Hillwood Development Company in the Victory Park project in downtown Dallas. Hicks Holdings is a developer of a 75-acre urban town center /multi-use development on the land adjacent to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington; and of Champions Park, a 40-acre office/retail development in Frisco
Is the NHL now trying frantically to help the bond issue in Glendale to preserve the development pie? If this is remotely true, how would the conflict of interest have shaped the handling of Jerry Moyes?
Yeah, every situation is different alright. It may vary by who is working the development, and who are the underlying investors. What remains the same is the taxpayers getting the raw end of the deal. And in Canada, what better way to hit the heart strings than wave the hockey carrot. Those Canucks will pay anything to get hockey, muhahahaha! Front man, coming up!
If a hockey league needed to keep investors happy (how’s it going Mubadala and Goldman Sachs?), then would the need for Glendale to keep a hockey team be substituted with a different opportunity – - maybe where the economy is better, and hockey is actually popular?
Would the investors be calling the shots behind the scenes, and the residents and taxpayers held hostage? And why should all taxpayers pay for a sport if they aren’t interested? More importantly, why should sports owners reap profits to entire “districts” of development? What happened to the business of hockey alone?
When Gary Bettman eluded to the bankers building arenas in his interview with Ron McLean on HNIC, we might look upon the dialogue a little differently depending on the underlying circumstances.
Could Edmonton be the “replacement opportunity” as Glendale fades away? Interesting possibilities, eh?
But think of the common denominator and the possibilities.
How does a hockey league continue to be involved in area land development that extends beyond hockey? And, would that explain why they would not want to move a franchise like the Coyotes at all cost – - because they have gotten involved in development of land, not just sticking to hockey? And for God’s sake, don’t do a google search like this! It might just get you mad thinking back on the McLean – Bettman interview that might mean the reason was income from development as the real issue Winnipeg and Quebec City were shunned!
It would make Bryden’s exit ramp pale in comparison to the money attached to not just arena development but urban development. Sales tax related funding coupled with property tax and income tax funding would effectively put pressure on already debt ridden Canadians that cannot afford the current cash flow crisis. The theme is a common one : The few rich making tons of money off the sweat of the many (taxpayers).
Since when has Daryl Katz been a sales agent for land use causes? Starting to stink again, and this time it’s personal. Is Katz the next Tom Hicks? When you buy an NHL franchise you become a “partner” in the club. Not a consortium Mr. (Ron) McLean, remember Gary said it was a “partnership”, and the partners get to decide who joins the club, and where arenas get built.
I suppose the partners in Toronto didn’t want land developed by the outsider, Mr. (Jim) Balsillie. There might be a second set of books that Jimmy B. would be too honest to go for.
Would it explain why a new Commissioner wouldn’t be on the table at regular intervals? Imagine the conversation: “Okay new Commish, this is how the owners and investors make extra money – - they build mega projects at the expense of the taxpayers, and so your job is to make sure you keep track of all these investors and deals, ’cause we gotta keep ‘em all happy. What? Yeah, the hockey operations are an excuse to get at the real bucks, so what’s your point?”
Or, it could also explain why a guy like Balsillie would not be a good fit. “He actually cares about the fans!! Get him outta here. It’s not about the fans, it’s about taxation and profit taking. The partners allowed in this group have got to be well-picked, seasoned, and must know the real score”.
As Dave Zirin points out, the long term good of the game is sacrificed by owners’ greed.
Yes, what if it’s all about land development beyond Phoenix – - extending to everywhere? It might suggest that “free financing” was not the goal, but expensive financing might be. You know, the sales tax financing like in Glendale – the “gift” that keeps on giving!
Let’s forget Gary Bettman on the podium somewhere North of the 49th Parallel telling those in Edmonton that to sustain their franchise, they will have to develop a mixed-use mega suite filled, glam box, complete with Casino, offices, and all kinds of glitter……or he’ll build an arena in some remote non-hockey loving town like Mexico City, ’cause the government is more generous there! Let’s talk about Jones on the View instead, and how he ticked off Barbara Walters!
What an animal!
And I mean that in the most sincere sense of the word.
Alex Jones had Whoopie Goldberg and Barbara Walters speechless, as it was obvious they were very keyed into the warning signs of what might come out of Alex Jones’ mouth.
I have seen God work before, and when he does, it gives me the chills. I think I witnessed God’s work through his devoted witness, Alex Jones on the clip on the View of yesterday. Don’t go scrambling to see if his religion is Jehovah either, okay?
I know what your thinking – - just as things were getting heated up again with the last article that was starting to question the NHL focus on arena and “area development” such as Casinos, restaurants, office complexes, etc., and yeah, I know, you’d prefer to hear about how Mr. Bettman seems to be the last man standing to put a “whaaaat” into your mind — you know the Edmonton “sustainability” as a hockey franchise can only be accomplished by……are you sitting down?……..building a new mega arena a and mixed-use complex like in Phoenix, and in Dallas – - the two white elephants of sport.
I know, you might be wondering as I if there was something more in it for the guys that are supposed to think more about hockey than land, and you are probably piecing together the notion that every time the big boss speaks it’s about building arenas and local shopping and entertainment districts. And then you are thinking, maybe — No! Couldn’t be. No! Oh my God, what if it is? No. Couldn’t be. It would sure explain a lot and explain why certain things happened in Phoenix. No! Couldn’t be. But what if it is? No…..and on, and on you go. So, to take your mind off that potential for its own little breed of corruption, let’s divert to a bigger kettle.
But first, perhaps we should also drift back into memory and think of the history of the Madison Square Garden renos that were pushed by Related Companies many moons ago, and yes they were involved in Phoenix at City North related to the Coyotes hockey disaster, and boy, those guys in New York, they sure were trying to get the mayor to go for the big project weren’t they?
No, for now we should talk about the latest “V” for victory — Alex Jones supporting the truth movement otherwise known as exposing corruption.
And if you haven’t noticed, that’s a mandate from God. Sorry to offend those that are looking to hear just about sport, the NHL, and not about Charlie Sheen, Alex Jones, the New World Order and God. Problem is, they are all related.
You see, exposing corruption knows no bounds. It is a battle that has God giving wisdom to those he chooses that leave others scratching their heads, perhaps sending that divine shiver through you that spells – DIVINITY!
Wow! Pumped cannot express the feeling and the exhilaration from watching a victory like you are about to see below. But you must do yourself a favour, go to the attached YouTube site to read the comments because that is equally satisfying.
Pay attention to the crowd’s applause, because the people in the audience may be at the filming of the View, but they are also, many of them, closet NWO (New World Order) philes. Like an audiophile, not a pedophile. A ‘phile’, a student, someone aware, but most still in the closet ’cause someone might think it’s not cool to really know what’s going on.
But when you can’t help but see a slam dunk for humanity, you can’t help but love the moment, and put those hands together New York, for the greatest moment of broadcast history, Mr. Alex Jones shutting up the “hens” of New York.
Step right up people, and witness what must have been divine intervention in cleverness for the man who spoke fast, because once bitten twice shy, you do what you got to do. Overlook the putdown attempts, and the attempts to paint Sheen and Jones with the “cuckoo” brush at the same time. That’s right, you’re one of us now if you saw the not so well orchestrated attempt to paint Sheen as a manic, and to label Jones a kook.
Yes, put those hands together and share in the exhilaration of your “coming out”.
It might actually become socially acceptable to know what in the world is going on in the world, and not listen to the controlled media tell you what to think.
Which came first…..the arena chicken or the development egg? Who is ultimately responsible for lining Glendale up with a bond obligation that might put them over the edge?
So when Jerry Moyes tried to play nice with Council in the open meetings in Glendale months and months ago, he wasn’t dealing with a fair deck.
Moyes was continually shunned as he explained the Coyotes were not viable, and the $50 million Jim Balsillie was offering the City to relocate the hockey team was at least enough to cover off some interest.
At the root of memory sticks some points that cannot easily be shaken from the frontal lobe – - the biggest was Glendale’s comment in court that if the Coyotes should leave, they would have to replace the team with another hockey team. That sounds more like a deal with greedy investors promised sales tax related usury over taxpayers – - making it seem less likely the N.H.L. was behind the arena deal(although there were rumors there could be conflicts of interest for certain parties of influence…shhh…..you could be waking up in Vegas! Shhhhh……). Yep, those private mega-suites — sweet! But that’s another story isn’t it? I hate this sport, I hate this sport, show me the next arena, I hate this sport….
And for the need to replace the hockey team with another, we said, “says who?” What kind of team ya got in mind, Glendale? Does it matter?
Bizarre isn’t it that a comment like that came out. One might as easily have missed it, but for some reason it was bizarre enough to stand out and continue to rear its ugly head.
Perhaps a councillor, such as Joyce Clark, who voted against the current deal should ask these questions. Perhaps, but good luck Ms. Clark, the heads in charge have a track record of only telling folks what they want disclosed.
We only need to look at the heavily edited emails sent to the Goldwater Group, as if a slap in the face, “who are you to ask?” gesture. Those emails from a long time ago also stick in the mind, and so does the reasoning of it being in the best interest of the City not to disclose some information.
Which brings us back to issues of democracy.
How is it possible to have a political process where a few key individuals get to dictate how the approval process works? It would seem a few key individuals may have more power at the City Hall in Glendale than is good for the residents. We only need to ask councillors like Joyce Clark what it’s like to get proper information to make a rational decision. I’m sure based on recent experience she is frustrated, possibly suspect of the agenda behind the scenes.
Why is information not readily available, and how come debate is not wide open?
This case has stunk since inception. We could see deception from the beginning. The charade and arrogance continues but it would seem it is coming to an abrupt end.
In a fashion of poetic justice, perhaps potential bondholders are looking at a City that professes a good game, but has a track record that barks, “Warning Wil Robinson”. Perhaps they are looking at the treatment (or lack thereof) of the past owner of the franchise, and are thinking if they can throw him away like an old newspaper, what will they do to us as investors?
Come to think of it, the NHL brass threw Moyes under the rig, too, didn’t they? They were all too eager to dispense with one of their own. No loyalty to anyone from anybody. Cover your butts 101, eh? What was the big secret that is tied to land development, not hockey? Land development or arena land development? Who is the most guilty? Who was deserving the “instigator penalty” for this one? Was it a City that made a bad deal on it’s own, or a group looking to take financing and build, build, build, muhahahahahahaha!
Nonetheless, the party’s over – - locally and globally! Credit is dried up. Like the con man who borrows all over town, and never pays back, eventually his luck runs out.
Who was the greediest? Who might have looked at sideline income that might have justified using other peoples’ money? Who may be suspect based on secrecy and blacking out emails, that would suggest using their positions for potential personal gain? Is it an issue for the fans and players of a hockey league, or the residents of the City of Glendale to be concerned with?
To figure out this whole conspiracy of making lots of money on development we would have to look at two coins — one looking to build a city, the other a potential empire of sports venues.
Yeah, we’d have to look back on our notes, and that would be exhausting, perhaps not worth it at this point. We’d have to see who had big connections and influence with key people in the sports leagues, and in political circles, and had connections with wealthy investors in the background.
No sense to bother with that stuff now, is there? No sense to really join all the pieces and present a clear picture, right?
Oh, and we’d have to see who stood to build the monopoly they wanted, and who they were influencing, perhaps giving a cut of the action. Yeah, that would be too much work. What’s important at this point is whether the Coyotes can hang on, or should they be taken to the woods. We know the answer. We see where the thread dangled, and when tugged it unravelled more than anyone had bargained for. We are tired though, and perhaps ready to hang up our thinking cap. It’s over…. but just to close two other things are stuck in my mind: The vision of the video of the Winnipeg Arena being torn down after the streets were filled with mourning fans, and the other comment that “the league decides where the teams and arenas get built”. Yeah, those are tough ones too. Really makes one ponder, and think of all the possibilities.
The dog of Glendale has been bitten by deceit. It’s turned rabid. Time to take him to the back 40, and put him out of his misery.
The dog isn’t the question, the question is who represents the dog?
Ray McGovern, former CIA Analyst beaten and dragged away from Hillary Clinton speech (ironically on “free speech in Egypt”)
McGovern responsible in the past for briefing daily intelligence under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, the National Security Advisor, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Cabinet
Story:
In fairness, I suppose freedom of speech does not include freedom of “no speech”
Very little needs to be said when a visual says it all. The only thing I will add is the information about the protestor, who was no ordinary citizen. Did the goons that beat him up know who they were messing with? Or, was that the reason they were so abusive?
Its true, it’s prophecy, and the witnessing of history in the making that gives one a shiver up the spine. As if a premonition, watching certain events send signals to the soul that something very sinister is happening in this world.
For Hillary Clinton, it was business as usual despite the hypocrisy of the moment – - talking about freedom, when someone’s rights were violated right before her eyes – - appearing cold and uncaring, methodically carrying out her mission. Her demeanor could best be described as simply “going through the motions”. But there was a hint of regret in her face. Something you could almost feel sorry for.
With all the exposure of the Clintons’ role in aiding and abetting the collapse of America and the world, it must frankly suck to know it’s all coming unglued. There will be much fallout for those involved. The truth and the roles of the players in this deadly charade will be known. And worse than facing the music is watching yourself get caught. It must be very stressful. You can see it on many of the globalists’ faces. Where’s the fountain of youth they are supposed to have available? Many won’t make it, it would seem, to see that day. They too are being deceived by the great deceiver.
And how much trouble do they anticipate for those accused of being Bilderberg controlled as the world catches on? Quite a bit it would seem, judging by the overreaction of the security officials to the roaring silence of McGovern’s protest.
It’s apparently not much fun anymore, being part of Club Bilderberg.
