He predicted the 2008 Crash in vivid detail.
He explained that this would not be a normal downturn
and why and how the banks were responsible.
He sued the Federal Reserve - the first person ever to
do so in history - and won access to data they fought
tooth and nail not to disclose to the public.
And he passed away at 52.

Mark Pittman (1957-2009) Dead at 52 after successfully suing the Federal Reserve
The hero no one talks about Keep in mind that Pittman’s analysis was delivered six months before the market collapse in the fall of 2008.
Why is it that the financial news (especially Fox and CNBC) has time for every idiot with an opinion regardless of how loopy, but few people have ever heard of Mark Pittman?
Pittman was the first person in history to sue the Federal Reserve (along with his employer Bloomberg News.)
Unlike others, you won't hear me
rail against the so-called "sheeple"
Why?
Because no one is lied to more often,
more thoroughly and more effectively
than Americans.

How Monsanto kills the news
The hollowing out of investigative journalism
Sep 9, 2006
Investigative news report regarding cancer-causing additives to milk by Monsanto is shut down by Fox News executives.
The free press in America When it comes to food, it would be in your best interest to realize that you are being lied to on a daily basis.
If a big company grows it, processes it and sells it, then it’s probably garbage that you’d be better off not consuming.
In some cases, this problem goes far beyond “garbage” into another realm entirely.
This video is a rare glimpse behind-the-scenes of how news is really “made” in America and why corporate and “public” broadcasting - like corporate food - is entirely unreliable.
The revelations just keep coming...
If you use one of the big e-mail providers
and maintain an address book - and that's
pretty much everybody - the NSA has helped
itself to your address book.
Here's how they did it.

NSA: “We’re doing it ethically” The revelations just keep coming...
Missing from this report - and many other news reports - is this:
Because of the way the Internet works, your personal e-mail traffic may be processed outside of the US. Once that is done, your mail is now “foreign” and subject to anything the government wants to do.
So the domestic/foreign distinction is completely bogus and the apologists from Obama on down know it.

Who determines what American kids
eat each day?
To a large degree, it is the Federal
Government. Congress and the
Department of Agriculture approve
what foods can (and can't) be served
to over 30 million American school
children who get daily meals from
the National School Lunch Program.
The government gets a ton of
pressure from a food and beverage
industry frantic to keep kids hooked
on a diet of sodas, snacks and hot
dogs.

The school lunch scam
Corporate pigs at the trough
Creating a culture of disease Who determines what U.S. children eat every day during the school year? Every five years Congress reapproves the school lunch program. In 2009, the program was renewed once again, and the Congress screwed over the people. A third of kids are either overweight or obese. This is the story of how the food and beverage industry got Congress to cave to pressure to keep the snacks, soft drinks and processed meats in the schools. - See more at: http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/videos/the-food-industry/the-school-lunch-scam.html#sthash.Uqi6boeE.dpuf

Speaker Pelosi justifies JAIL for not buying health insurance
In case you missed it...
In case you missed it,
here is the video (recorded in 2000) that explains why the government is so
interested in MANDATORY insurance and will make sure you get it, like it or
not, under threat of fine and imprisonment.
Pelosi initially tried to sidestep the question. By not directly answering it,
she implies that the "very fair" legislation could land you in jail
for not emptying your pockets to her paymasters at the private insurance
companies.

Freedom destroyed “We are potentially facing cultural genocide”
The town of Grand Bayou, Louisiana, has no streets and no cars, just water and boats. And now the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens the very existence of the Atakapa-Ishak Indians who live there. "We're facing the potential for cultural genocide," says one tribe member.

Who’s next?
The oil companies have been destroying southern Louisiana for decades. Very publicly.
Receiving the brunt of the impact have been the Native Americans for whom the region has been home for centuries.
Few in Louisiana or New Orleans, let alone the rest of the Gulf or country, cared.
Maybe they should have paid closer attention.
“Ask not for whom the bell tolls...”
The most profoundly simple explanation I’ve ever heard about where we’re headed and what we can look forward to came from a North Dakota wheat farmer who in the 1980s as he being forced off his three-generation family farm by agribusiness said:
“I guess we’re the Indians now.”
When Shell Oil destroyed the Nigerian delta, we said nothing .
When Chevron destroyed Ecuador’s rain forest, we said nothing.
When all the majors chewed up Louisiana’s wetlands, we said nothing.
Now we’re all learning the meaning of “justice for all or justice for none” the hard way .
The ATF got caught red-handed letting weapons

A mentally disabled man with a low IQ was used to run gun and drug
deals as part of a US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives sting at a Milwaukee storefront. The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel reports that ATF agents paid 28-year-old Chauncey Wright, who
has an IQ in the mid-50s, in cigarettes, merchandise and money. Then,
once the operation was shut down, Wright was charged with federal gun
and drug counts and faces up to life in prison. Wright's family
complains that the ATF took advantage of him. RT's Meghan Lopez talks to
John Diedrich, one of the reporters who broke the story, about the ATF
sting that has been marred by more problems than just taking advantage
of the mentally disabled, including the theft of ATF guns, and a loss of
nearly $40,000 in merchandise.
Army colonel, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell and Bush-Cheney administration insider, Lawrence Wilkerson says “yes.”

Sandy Hook: The Logistics Special Report
Logistics = Reality
The Sandy Hook story as told makes no sense.
That children were murdered in cold blood is not in dispute.
Who did it and how it was done is.
The official story is literally impossible.
This video covers only a few of the points where the story is absolute fabrication.
The name-calling idiots are writing in with their commentary.
One woman wrote in to claim that her 125 nephew easily carries his weight in gear in Iraq...
Here’s my reply to her and all the other idiots who insist on denying basic reality and making up stories:
Your nephew, assuming your story is real, does not carry 125 pounds of gear.
No one in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan carries anywhere near that much.
Your nephew, assuming he exists, is a conditioned soldier and that’s what enables him to carry and operate with whatever weight he does go out with (50 to 90 pounds tops)
People can watch all the games they want. It will not condition them to carry and maneuver with all the gear the police say this person brought with him.
So it’s you YOU who are full of crap and willfully ignorant to boot.
The children who were murdered deserve a better investigation than the garbage that TV-addled idiots like you support.

The Terror Factory Inside The FBI’s Manufactured War On Terrorism
Be afraid; be very, very afraid
There’s a terror war on America alright, but it’s being waged on America not by turbaned men in caves, but by US “intelligence” and “law enforcement” agencies against the minds of the American people.
Anyone with half a brain who has spent even 10 seconds deconstructing the “plots” and “threats” the FBI has supposedly thwarted knows they are utter nonsense.
It’s always the same story:
Half-wits losers without a clue are corralled into going along with schemes invented and funded by the FBI and then arrested at the last minute...making the FBI heroes and justifying ever more waste of time, money and effort and abuse of citizens by so called law enforcement who are “keeping everybody safe.”
The biggest threat to the American people...
is the American people?
That's the logic of the so called "elites."
They weren't afraid of Communists and
they're not afraid of terrorists.
Free-thinking, clear minded Americans
are their biggest threat and they act
accordingly.

The Biggest Threat To The American People... ...is the American people? The twisted logic of US “elites”
In the 19th century, cartels in oil,
steel, and other industries amassed
fantastic wealth.
In the 20th century, they used this
wealth and power to take over journalism,
academia and medicine .
Now, in the 21 century, most people
have amnesia about how we got to where
we are. Time to wake up.
Robber barron medicine Designed for profit, not for health
From the Corbett Report Competition is a sin. - John D. Rockefeller
The robber barrons of the 19th century believed in one thing above all: monopoly control.
In the field of medicine, that has meant the creation of the monstrosity we know as modern medicine.
The same people who corrupted Congress,
the news media, and academia, also had
a conscious program to take over medicine.
Here's the history of how they did it.

How the medical monster came to be The history of a corrupt industry
The modern day mainstream medical industry has a dubious history, deeply
rooted by a drive for profit through the subversion and suppression of
non-profitable and non-patentable therapies and treatments.
To
this day mainstream allopathic doctors and practitioners are heavily
indoctrinated into a system that protects ever increasing industry
profits while fiercely defending orthodox therapies. The network of
allopathic medical institutions and education strictly denies medical
freedom and outlaws any treatments that cannot generate market share
profits for their monopolized industry.
Monopoly control uber alles
How did the US medical industry get to where it is today?
First of all note that it’s called an “industry” and 90% of the focused talk about it takes place on financial news shows.
The “Health Care Industry” is considered a good investment, a growth market, but one talks about whether it’s helping people get healthier or sicker.

The
Botany of Desire
Plants,
the partner of human life
Food, clothing, shelter - life
It's astonishing how
little we learn about plants in school or through the media.
We're dependent on them - 100% dependent on them - yet the average person knows
more about Hollywood celebrities and football
scores than he or she knows about the plants within a hundred yard radius of
where they live.
An intelligent education system would include plant education - real plant
eduction - from nursery school onwards with ever growing levels of
sophistication so that every high school grad would know the names, nature,
cultivation method and uses of every plant they live among and depend on.
Why not?
It would be an easy thing to accomplish.
Is it possible that societal "plant ignorance" is a value to people
who'd like to control society lock, stock and barrel?

Follow the money.
The corporate felons spent $1 million on lobbying (read that "legalized
bribery to dirtbag politicians.")
That's a 1,000 to 1 return on their investment (bribe to contract size.)
Why can't every American get in on this corporate gravy train? Think of the

They have the right to write you a ticket.
If you've committed a serious crime, they have the right to arrest you.

search you and your vehicle for cash and take and keep it it based on
"suspicion of wrong doing."
Yes, it's that vague and you get to hire a lawyer and go to court to try to get

When
the US
went off the tracks for real
The
Reagan-Bush Years
In the revealing PBS video documentary The Secret Government, host Bill
Moyers exposes the inner workings of a secret government much more vast
that most people would ever imagine. Though originally broadcast in
1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected top
military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history
and secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our
government.
"The National Security Act of '47 gave us the
National Security Council. Never have we had a National Security Council
so concerned about the nation's security that we're always looking for
threats and looking how to orchestrate our society to oppose those
threats. National Security was invented, almost, in 1947, and now it has
become the prime mover of everything we do as measured against
something we invented in 1947."
Pay Attention to rhetoric at about: 19:00 minutes from then Senator John Kerry!

Bill Moyers got it more
right than he realized back in 1987.
That was nearly 30 years ago if you're counting.
