$1,200 in Iraqi dinars converts to about 1,400,000 IQD. If the new exchange rate is set (as now being announced by the Dinar Gurus) at 1 IQD = $14.68 Any. Day. Now., Duncan will be well-off enough to support Dean: $20,552,000. The Dinar Gurus have assured their investors that there will be no tax on this income if you Follow Their Instructions.

The biggest recipient of the MinuteMan PAC money is Veritas, which is Brett's company.


Can't help but wonder if that is one and the same "Veritas" who is one of Orly's "supporters" and frequent posters.

Thanks, Foggy.

But the fact that unidentified Birthers are contributing monies to identified Birthers is hardly the same as suggesting that there are significant somebodies providing those funds.

Since they're unidentified you can't say for sure there aren't.
Quote:
Or that there is anything resembling an organized funding source or organizational architect.

Where was that suggested?

Guys, look at it this way. The guy (whos name escapes me right now) who wrote the book on right wing conspiracies, who RC had on his radio show a couple of weeks back, said that Glann Heck has enough people paying 9.95 a month to view his private TV channel to clear 40 mill a year.

Ok lets break that down

$9.95 a month equals $119.40 a year

That into 40 mill goes 335,008.3

So after a networked TV show on FOX Beck convinced 335k idiots to pay over money to hear his shock jock ravings.

Now lets look at that number of people. Slash it by 100. That means if you can get 3,350 dumb birthers to give the birther movement an average of $9.95 a month, then the birther movement is clearing $400,000 a year. Thats more than enough to explain everything the Bithers have done without getting the Kochs or anyone else involved.

The GOP keeps nodding and winking the birhters as they are free.

Irving Moskowitz, Controversial Backer Of Israeli Settlements, Gives $1 Million To Anti-Obama Super PAC


Now, at age 83, Moskowitz has turned his money on the American political realm in a more prominent fashion than ever before,
funding "birther" groups that question the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship
and others that stoke fears about the president's alleged ties to "radical Islam."

Wonder which "birther groups"?

From the article:

Quote:
"According to IRS records, the Irving I. Moskowitz Foundation gave $50,000 in 2010 to the Western Center for Journalism, a nonprofit founded by World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah, a prominent proponent of birther conspiracies. The center's website currently touts the "investigation" into the president's birth certificate by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, calling it "ForgeryGate."

Moskowitz also provided $100,000 to the Center for Security Policy, a nonprofit warning of the imminent danger of radical Islam in America. The center's founder and president is Frank Gaffney, a neoconservative who has publicly questioned whether the president was born in the U.S. and stated that Obama, in his 2008 campaign, was seeking "the Jihadist vote."

Gives credence to my argument that Israel or Israeli interests fund Orly as an unregistered alien agent.

I think it's a good bet that Harold Simmons has contributed as well. He gave $4 million to swiftboat Kerry and millions to Rove's smear machines. It would make sense that he would continue to support Corsi, Farah, and Western Journalism to continue to smear candidates they do not like.

Simmons' holding company has interests in waste management (Waste Control Specialists). Does anybody know a good Mafia-controlled firm that could compete against him?

Are you sure that the mafia isn't already disposing skeletons thru this company?

He's already part of a Mafia ... the Texas Rich-White-Guy Mafia, and they're pretty bad: Simmons, Bob Perry, James Leininger, Clayton Williams, T. Boone Pickens, the Hunts, the Murchisons and more ...

Rick Perry's their front man.

But their restaurants are not nearly as good as the real Mafia. Meatballs that would float away if they were not held down by the sauce!
