Wow - I had no idea our incoming Attorney General Eric Holder led the defense of Chiquita. Yes, that Chiquita:
"As a partner at Covington & Burling, Holder represents Chiquita International Brands in lawsuits brought by relatives of people killed by Colombian terrorists. Last year, the company paid $25 million to settle claims that it paid Colombian paramilitary groups to protect employees at one of its banana-growing plants."
Many believe that phrase "protect employees" is, ahem, euphemistic, to say the least. Many, including those bringing civil suits against the company, allege that the company deliberately "hired [the] Colombian paramilitaries to kill or intimidate union members and officials," as Time magazine reports.
Indeed,Portfolio notes that the paramilitaries whole goal was to "destroy unions."

Pay-to-Play Over?: Grant F. Smith
[Billionaire and rabid zionist]Saban and the Middle East – not Blagojevich and Illinois – are why this sudden and unexpected law enforcement intrusion into the quiet realm of pay-to-play matters. The hapless governor of Illinois enjoys neither Saban's finesse nor prosecutorial immunity. But Blagojevich's gambit does direct unwanted attention to larger pay-to-play forces in continuous operation behind the scenes in Washington.
"Holder was among the relatively few Democrats who argued that the Geneva Conventions should not apply to terrorism suspects"

It was 7.30 on a hot July morning when the plane came swooping low over the remote ravine. Below, a bridal party was making its way to the groom's village in an area called Kamala, in the eastern province of Nangarhar, to prepare for the celebrations later that day.
The first bomb hit a large group of children who had run on ahead of the main procession. It killed most of them instantly.

Obama is merely a fop for the global elite
Have you ever wondered how capitalism was pushed over the edge of the cliff just six weeks before the American presidential election? According to financial experts, the world, as we know it will change dramatically by the year 2012. People, who provided for their families only three years ago, will be desperately searching for food. The story of the economic meltdown of 2008 begins and ends with the United Nations and its carefully managed One World Order. Behind the curtain of this dark chapter in human misery are ogres Maurice Strong and George Soros. It is both power lust and an all-consuming hatred of the United States of America that elevated this deadly duo to ogre status. Fortunately for all of those searching for answers, much of their plan for the world, post November 4, 2008 is already mapped out in writing. Leading economic experts and Strong agree that in 2012 people will be going hungry.
