The link to this story is courtesy of DC gossip blog Wonkette and Firedog Lake has provided a link to sign a petition to the National Press Club (I am sure that there are going to be others as well) and the phone number is 202-662-7500 (please be polite but assertive if you call). This particular little morsel of crap has been being batted around on The Jeff Rense Show which devotes a disproportionate amount of time to it and is only designed to once again lead back to Reverend Wright's church and some ridiculous allegations that Obama is involved in the murder of a gay choirmaster. I couldn't make stuff like this up! Sinclair and his handlers have already failed in trying to gain national attention through a scurillous lawsuit filed gainst Obama and the Dems and if they are successful in getting their foot in the door at a legitmate forum like the National Press Club then any discussion of the economy and the war will immediately cease as the corporate cable news disinformation complex goes 24/7 and all of the suckers go for it hook line and sinker.
This has been percolating for quite some time with some of the seamier sites on the internet and I strongly suspect the involvement of extreme leftwing crank Lyndon LaRouche whose strong support of a Clinton restoration as well as his loathing of Obama is evident.
Also Jerome Corsi the political hit man has another smearjob book coming out in August on Obama - he's the guy who did the one that was instrumental in swiftboating John Kerry. Now in to give credit where it is due Mr. Corsi does do some good work (in regards to the North American Union that is NOT some wild conspiracy but more of the same globalization) but as with a lot of these writers he is a whore for hire. Look for this garbage to only increase as the slime machine roars into action to protect the interests of the sham two party oligarchy.
Here is a LaRouche PAC email from last week -
It's Not Over Yet: For The Moment,Just remember, preserving the existing corrupt system is what is really at stake here, not only for the blood barters, oligarchs and money changers but for all of the hangers on as well.
There Are Now Only Two Candidates
This statement is a prerelease, a finalized version will be posted on LaRouchePAC.com in the coming days.
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
June 6, 2008 (LPAC)--As of Saturday, June 7th, it is now official; there are now only two major-party candidates. Or, perhaps not.
The two current Presidential pre-candidates are Senators John McCain, a Republican, and Barack Obama, a Democrat. Both candidates have shown the temperament of a hand-grenade with a loose pin. With McCain, the problem is well known; with Obama, the problem of a flakey temperament is no longer hidden. It is doubtful that either will actually be nominated. Some people in the back room of politics have a different idea, people operating from behind the scenes at a very high level in the circles of world power. McCain and Obama are political chess-pieces on the board; the fellows in the back room are chess players who know how a pawn becomes a queen.
Now, as we speak, the hands of the players are already moving.
In that case, it is probable, as of now, that the game will be rigged to hand the election to a Republican candidate who will probably be selected to replace Senator John McCain. The Democratic candidate who will be selected to replace the soon-to-be discredited Obama, will probably be destined in advance to lose. In that situation, it is not the candidate who will determine the outcome of the election, or the program of the next President, it will be the chess-players, whose policies will not be chosen by either candidate.
There is an alternative, that some other player, a third factor, tips over the chessboard.
During the coming two months, while these events are being put into motion, the crisis of the world financial system will be accelerating. By the end of July, the world situation, as also the situation inside the United States, will have changed radically as we approach the first anniversary of the late-July 2007 outbreak of the world's presently accelerating, inflationary, general financial breakdown-crisis.
Whatever you think you know conditions will be, from the news media or gossip overheard on financial streets, the present world monetary-financial system is already as good as finished. Bear-Stearns was given a financial funeral of sorts; the next big one to go may not be so lucky. Behind the scenes, it is the issues of this presently accelerating general physical-economic breakdown of the world's present financial-monetary system, which is on the mind of those who are the players planning to create a new system.
Neither McCain nor Obama have the qualifications the chess players consider useful. Come two months from now, both are likely to be gone. It is not certain that this will occur, but a smart bettor would not bet much that it won't happen.
To some people, those players to whom I have referred are feared as virtually all-powerful. I admit that they are powerful; but, I know that they are not all-powerful.
I am neither all-powerful, obviously, nor am I omniscient, but I know a lot, and it is my job to share what I know with you. Together, we have a chance of flanking the present crisis-situation; it is only a chance, but it is the only thing worth-while doing.
