OSLO: The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced one week ago that Barack Obama had won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. It was reported that he was nominated two weeks after taking office. Announcing the award their secretary Geir Lundestad told the Agence France Presse, “The committee was unanimous.”
That depends what you mean by “unanimous.” When most readers hear that declaration, they think that all committee members voted for Obama. However in this case that appears far from the truth. The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang reported on Thursday that a majority, three of the five members of the committee, had serious objections. The newspaper also reported that committee member Inger-Marie Ytterhorn led the way in objecting to the choice of Obama because “she questioned his ability to keep his promises.” Read more…
2005 Crystal Globe
ZURICK: In 1977 Roman Polanski, then aged 44, seduces a 13 year old girl, Samantha Gailey. According to court transcripts Polanski first lures the young unescorted girl into posing for nude and semi-nude photos.
Her mother thought he was photographing her to consider her for upcoming screen roles, but Polanski had something else in mind. In his second photo shoot at the home of Jack Nicholson he gives the 13 yr-old alcohol, and to make sure she becomes compliant to his sexual advances gives her quaaludes. When she was sufficiently pacified he raped and sodomized her.
The crime, flight from justice are old news. But what is disturbing is the reaction of Hollywood and the entertainment industry to his recent arrest by Swiss police. Read more…
WASHINGTON: [According to an eyewitness account from Ken H.] I was at the September 12, 2009 rally in Washington D.C. It was a great experience. There were people from all walks of life, from all over the country. I did not see any groups that looked organized or trucked in by special interest groups. The folks I saw and talked to all came by themselves, in their own vehicles.

 Real Grass Roots |
The mainstream media did not cover this event. The official count was way low. The police who used to count demonstrators refused to do so because of complaints of accuracy. The fire department had a very low count. We asked lots of police and security folks what they thought the count was. The general consensus was summed up by many officials, “There were more people there than any event in the past.” Many estimated the crowd in excess of one million. Read more…
Handing Out Obama Coats
Real Doctors Bring Their Own Coats
This is an example of misleading the public, and at taxpayer expense. The White House yesterday met with doctors to pitch his healthcare plan, handing out camera-ready white coats. I wonder who paid for the white coats… I’m guessing you and I.
They are trying to counter the grass roots demonstration on September 10, 2009, reported at LookingAtTheLeft.com. Somehow the real people just look more real… Now you can decide who is prevaricating.
Sept 12, 2009 Protest
On September 12, 2009, right in front of our offices here at the National Institute of Prevarication we witnessed a massive display of patriotism unlike anything we have seen in a long, long, time. Zero violence, zero arrests, from an impassioned crowd who was there to protest big government and the corruption in government.
The capitol police refused to count the large crowd due to criticism in the past of their accuracy. The fire department’s official total was around 75,000. But according to many eye witnesses the crowd was much larger. According to LookingAtTheLeft.com the crowd was much, much larger. Click on the photo above to see a larger photo. Be sure to check out EL MARCO’s eye witness account. Who do you believe, your eyes or the media?
