EX NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER LINKS SPY RING TO WHITE HOUSE Don't expect to see a credible examination of Russ Baker's book, Family of Secrets, in the Daily Kos, or the New York Times. To date, Markos Moulitsas and Frank Rich have not commented on the revelations reported in Russ Bakers astonishing book, "Family of Secrets". Left gatekeepers and commentators Noam Chomsky and David Corn, like their counterparts on the right, George Will and David Gergen, usually ignore evidence of high crimes in high places until the story is old enough to print (NSA illegal surveillance). Frank Rich and David Brooks are not comfortable with documented evidence conclusively identifying George Herbert Walker Bush as a life long CIA undercover operative since sometime before Novenber 22, 1963. In Russ Baker's book, Family of Secrets, George Herbert Walker Bush is identified as heading an undercover CIA spy ring linked to the Kennedy assassination in 1963 and the forced resignation of president Nixon in 1974. Nancy Pelosi is not named as a member of the spy ring but remains a person of interest due to the curious stand down of congressional oversight responsibilities.

I can't take Amero's. I'm already on Ritilin. Berkeley kid comic Galen Corr and Kurt Reinhardt debate choice: Do we stick with a bad war or do we embrace change with a better bad war. Lucas Buckman and James King complain that compassionate torture promotes irony fatigue.

On October 13 2008 Naomi Wolf and Daniel Ellsberg seasoned the public discourse with a disturbing narrative about the shift to fascism and the end of democracy in the United States but with no mention of the Big Lie. Daniel Ellsberg went so far as to offer unsupported assertions that muslims attacked the United States on 9/11 and that Osama Bin Laden could do it again. Wolf proclaimed her faith in god and Ellsberg invited the audience to imagine what would happen if a certain muslim leader were to launch another 9/11? Another? Daniel Ellsberg is an esteemed former intelligence analyst and RAND Corporation thinker who was trained in the study of complex data sets and information. The data David Ray Griffin, Peter Dale Scott, and Steven Jones have provided on this subject is ignored. Ellsberg was an eyewitness to the Gulf of Tonkin false flag attacks blamed on North Vietnam in the 1960's. If he thinks it is important to wake people up to how "another" attack might happen he could have said, "...think what will happen if the Pentagon decides to accommodate the administration with another Gulf of Tonkin". BetterBadNews examines the Big Lie, info ops and a recent discourse in Berkeley with Naomi Wolf and Daniel Ellsberg that Noam Chomsky would have enjoyed.

BETTERBADNEWS panel taunt TV network comics JOHN STEWART, JAY LENO AND DAVID LETTERMAN for failure to mock an obvious and deserving target of public ridicule: The 9/11 Commission Report. Is late night television part of the cover up?In This Episode: Professional politicians are profiled as professional tag team wrestlers pretending to be mortal enemies but not really. 2008 third party contenders threaten to reveal the sorry 9/11 Truth behind all the fakery. Also: The BetterBadNews anchor speculates on a secret plan to install California Governor Arnold Schwazenegger in the White House following a false flag attack blamed on terrorists. Finally: Ron Paul Considers a third party ticket but who is going to be on top? Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Jesse ventura, Mike gravel or Ron Paul?

RON PAUL EXCLUDES HIMSELF FROM THIRD PARTY DEBATES.2008 THIRD PARTY Candidates Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader must be curious: Is Jesse Ventura re-entering politics or just hawking a book? Don't Start the Revolution Without Me, is Ventura's new book title but on the network blather shows he talks like a candidate pitching campaign themes. But is Jesse Ventura running for the Senate or the White House? "I already beat Norm Coleman once". Watching Ventura threaten to throw John McCain out of the ring is funny but is Al Franken laughing? His Senate bid is kaput if Ventura runs for the White House with coattails long enough to help green Party favorite, Mike Cavlan, unseat Colemen. If Ventura chooses to run for the Senate against Franken Coleman and Cavlan anything is possible. Ventura probably wants the White House but he's going to have to convince Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich or Mike Gravel to run with him on an independent party ticket to get there. Minnesota politics as usual. The betterbadnews panel has a clue. Satire from Better bad news and politics.
