Special for Evans Liberal Politics, July 3, 2011, originally published August 14, 2010, by Eric Ladd, guest columnist, and Paul Evans. Even though some of the news per se in this article is outdated, the links alone made me republish it.

CSPAN interviewed Jane Hamsher from the blog, firedoglake.com. She is referred to as ”a far left professional progressive” (as referred to by Robert Gibbs). She bantered with Republican, Independent and Democrats callers as she spoke about the blog’s views and her views. She is extremely well spoken.

Most of the Democrats who called were “mad” because the country has not given Obama enough time, including Jane and her “lefties”. Her retort was “he said 16 months…it has been 18…and we see ourselves going backwards”.  She was also upset that Gibbs would make such an inflammatory statement. A caller said the Congressman from FL who is asking for Gibbs to be fired needs to be investigated for “issues.” Another caller did bring up the Rangel/Waters issue of race. The caller said “and why weren’t Geitner and others in the cabinet and other positions who didn’t pay their taxes or had improprieties brought under so much scrutiny at the time like Rangel and Waters?” (Hamsher smiled).

Her contention is that more and more “people”, no matter what party, are becoming (unemployed) and disillusioned. Here is some information on her and her blog.

The blog has around 100,000 members and many more readers of the blog posts. Now that some Congress people are looking at a reform of the 14th amendment….Hamsher is very upset when Congress and President slammed through million dollar legislation this week for “immigration” drones.  She also questioned the President and House and Senate Democrats on passing the “public option.” According to her sources, they had the votes to pass a public option with the health care legislation and didn’t.

There was a Republican caller that was also quite interesting.  (Read farther below). Here is the information on firedoglake.com

=================

The Republican caller said “Why are we fighting as left, right, independent… (when) no President (for some time) or Congress has made policies and really ”run” the US.” DC is told what to do by these various groups (see below)? Why do corporate American (lobbyists) have so much influence? The caller said “Americans sit at our televisions, read the newspapers or listen to radio programs dismayed and thinking to themselves, now why are they doing in DC? Why is this happening? The reason…..There are now Global groups that run the world. Our governments and elections are ‘token’.”

Conspiracies, and Big Ones

The Federal Reserve, Bilderberg Group, Illuminati and The Masons

A knowledgeable acquaintance of mine mentioned to me that, according to his sources, not a single member of the Supreme Court of the United States was NOT a Mason, prior to about 1970. ~ Paul Evans

Several of the groups he referred to were:

Bilderberg Group

Bilderberg Agenda

Definition of Bilderberg

Bilderberg Organization

Bilderberg Society

Bilderberg Conference

Bilderberg Meetings

Illuminati

New World Order

Trilateral Commission

Conspiracy Websites

Many brush these groups off as “conspiracies”. If they are mere “conspiracies” like the caller said, ” then why do they meet and why are their meetings and specific topics hidden from Americans and anyone for that matter? They don’t talk about the weather. They talk about global policies — that we know.”

Jane concurred that there is some validity to the World groups and that Corporate America influences policies and that lobbyists are interfering with much of what “we” as American want to see or have happen.

She said that her group and the Republicans met together to force Obama, Congress to demand release of information on where the Federal Reserve was “sending” money. Previously even Congress could not get reports from the Reserve. There were no applicable sunshine laws. (This has gone on for years.) Our taxpayer money was being given away. She said that is when the left and right came together and demanded some “light” on the subject.  How many of you knew for years the Federal Reserve was with no oversight or reporting to anyone, giving money away? Very few of us.
