Movie Review for the Weekend

Excerpt of Review

Imitation of Life
(1934):
First version outshines 1959 by a bit __ 8.5/10

All in all, the acting in Imitation 1934 rolls along more naturally, too. Colbert is very smooth, the everyman's dream girl of her time. This was the year she also performed in the Academy Award winning movie, It Happened One Night, with costar Clark Gable—not only did that movie win the Oscar, so did she, so did Gable, and so did director Frank Capra! And Louise Beavers is sympathetically powerful as Delilah. But what I want to point out are the performances of Warren William as Steve Archer and Rochelle Hudson playing Bea's daughter Jessie.

The Week that Was

Guest Column

Stop Federale Land Grab:
Timely warning of police-state intrusion inland:
Courtesy Bill McNally

Centralizing this kind of unilateral power in the hands of armed government agents should be frightening. Furthermore, imagine the kinds of activities that could be restricted or eliminated on public lands in the name of national security: timber harvesting, livestock grazing, hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, oil and gas exploration and drilling, etc. All of this could happen under such a broad bill, and one that is completely unnecessary.

COFFEE COASTER WEEKLY PERKS

"To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men."
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  1. Government activating civilian detention camps: The camps have already been built. In many cities, the plan is to use existing structures such as sports stadiums and other large facilities. Now subcontractors are being sought to staff and supply the so-called 'FEMA camps' across the country. Awfully fishy after the after the Senate overwhelmingly passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which permits the military to detain and interrogate 'domestic terror suspects' (like me) in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Posse Comitatus.

  2. Legacy of the 1%: 84-year-old woman pepper spray: Keith Olbermann spoke to Dorli Rainey -- the 84-year-old Seattle woman whose pepper spraying by police at an Occupy Seattle protest rocketed around the Internet on Tuesday -- on his Wednesday show. He then turned to Rainey and asked how she was feeling. "I'm feeling great," she said. "I'm so energized. It's amazing what a little pepper spray will do for you."

  3. In case you were thinking Gingrich isn't so bad: Boy, back in 2008 ole' Newt had a wacky sense of humor. He joked that the government should allow terror attacks to happen on occasion lest we forget why they've repealed the Constitution. It's not funny and it's also true. It's called 'false flag'... http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/6011.html

  4. We zap you and you die young for the good of the state: The TSA tested the airport scanning devices behind closed doors without scrutiny by independent scientists and did not address the potential impact to human health. The TSA says it is reluctant to allow a more open scientific vetting of these machines because it might undermine security. Duh! Only the sheep die young.

  5. The Best Short Video on the Web: Vote for Dr. No. In just two minutes... In case anyone needs a reminder of what an epic train wreck Bush-Bama has been for the nation, here' a short video that sums it all up. It happens to have been made by a Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul has faults, but his election would be revolutionary.

  6. Top Government Expert Reveals Osama-9/11 Truth:Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents still working with the Defense Department, has told Alex Jones that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

  7. Malaysia tribunal finds Bush and Blair guilty of war crimes: The Indict Bush and Cheney movement, which demands accountability, is part of an international effort led by human rights activists, legal scholars, elected officials and progressive organizations. People around the world are responsible for a dramatic shift in the political climate. This is grassroots democracy in action. No power is greater.

  8. How Fiat Money Strangles the World: Where the rich get richer and the poor get angry. Watch this fab little video, and share it with as many as you can, because it's the way things work. It also tells us exactly what we need to do to fix the global problem. Personally, I'm ready for my $30K reparations check from the banksters.

  9. US is officially a terrorist state: Former US Senator Mike Gravel tells it like it is without any sugar coating. The US has lost its way morally. The rest of the world regards the US and its security/military forces as nothing but a drunkard wandering around looking for someone to beat up... preferably a weakling. The Vietnam Warcrime Syndrome persists.

  10. Cop(s) speak out agains corporate-state violence on peaceful protestors: Retired Philadelphia police chief Ray Lewis endorses the OWS movement, citing other cops who say this is America. Closing line on a great video, Captain Courageous says, "... we're all victims of Corporate America and Corporate America has got to be stopped."

    "The day we see the truth and decline to speak is the day we begin to die."
    — Martin Luther King

MUST SEE:
Very Special Brasscheck TV broadcast: In conjunction with Prison Planet, Russell Means is featured in a 1:30 long presentation entitled "Russell Means: Welcome to the Reservation." What the Oligarchy is doing to us is what it's been doing to the American Indians from the beginning! I have never seen as thorough and incisive an analysis of what ails human society--particularly America--nor a judgment of what we need to do. Starting by enforcing the Constitution and taking away privileges of the money power. ABSOLUTELY A BLOCKBUSTER! If anyone knows how to get the DVD, please, please send me a note.

Russell is in the news from INN (Infowars Nightly News) again, and he is suffering from health issues. Please contribute through the referenced site or through this PayPal link shown as follows:

Continuing War Crimes Perk

UN calls on Obama to Investigate and Prosecute U.S. Torture Charges
Wikileaks Documents Prove Torture, Abuse and Criminal Acts Were Systematic

In the wake of the release of 400,000 documents by Wikileaks, the United Nations has called on U.S. President Barack Obama to order a full investigation of crimes committed against the Iraqi people following the invasion and occupation that was directed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. UN special rapporteur on torture Manfred Nowak declared that the Obama administration has a legal and moral obligation to fully investigate credible claims of US forces' complicity in torture. Nick Clegg, the deputy Prime Minister in the UK has, in the wake of the recent revelations, also called for an investigation into the reports of mass torture disclosed in the newly released documents. Check out this extremely illuminating RT video outlining multiple horrendous crimes on the Iraqi people as US government policy. Then act!

Latest news from IndictBushNow.org: Protests are greeting Cheney at his book signings and preventing Bush from attending a Canadian university. Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley states: “Is it proper to honor this war criminal [Bush] who launched preemptive, unjustified wars of aggression and ‘shock and awe’ that led to hundreds of thousands of people killed, mostly civilian ‘collateral damage’ and widespread destruction in the Middle East?”


Political Prisoner Appeals

My personally adopted American political prisoner is Pete Hendrickson. He currently languishes in federal detention for crimes that are not crimes, for leading the freedom cause on taxes, respectively. Please help him financially and by getting out the word to end the federal Mob that would silence him.


Help Pete Hendrickson uphold the tax law on the federal government: Please check out Pete's latest letter above then a less recent one here: "Tax Truth from the Front: Timely clarity on income tax from Pete Hendrickson." You can branch off to other sites, but we must free Pete Hendrickson and liberate all the other political prisoners if we are to enjoy a benevolent, free society based on the Sacred Nonaggression Principle. Pete's recent News Release. Please distribute it widely among the media.
Please communicate with Pete by mail at:
Peter Hendrickson #15406-039,
P.O. Box 1000,
Milan FCI,
E. Arkona Rd.,
Milan, MI 48160

Then help with the financial end with his family going through an equal if not greater amount of stress from the federal mobsters. Please send donations to:

Bernard von Nothaus facing many years
The VP (vicious prosecutocracy) is looking for upwards of 20

Bernard von NotHaus (BVNH), the convicted monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar now faces sentencing. This is a very dangerous time. If the report prepared before sentencing is uncontested or poorly contested (as per the trail) BVNH could very likely spend the rest of his life in prison for introducing a value based currency, protecting the people's purchasing power and trying to return America to a sound and honest monetary system. Please don't let that happen. BVNH as secured a short term $20,000 loan and retained a sentencing attorney to defend him at the sentencing. But he needs to repay that loan very quickly. Would you please help?

Please click HERE to make an anonymous donation. Please note that although givv.org is set up for monthly donations, you can make a one-time donation of any amount.

Or send any donation of value, your check, money order made out to BERNARD and mailed to:
Bernard von NotHaus
527 N. Green River Road
Suite 158
Evansville. IN. 47715

Also write to Bernard c/o Editor@LibertyDollar.org.
