These groups are heavily funded by US taxpayers.]Google News 2012 Feb 10 (Cached)

 Who will win the GOP nomination is not necessarily the same as who wins the caucuses or even the primaries. All that matters is getting pledges from delegates to the national convention.

Obama is pushing for a fast settlement to support the illusion that he is tough on big banks. No one is facing jail time and, eventually, most of the settlements will come from taxpayers in the form of bank bailouts. It’s primarily a political show.] Huff Post 2012 Feb 7 (Cached)

                            ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.

This video shows persistent jet trails that appear to be chemtrails. Some clips might be explained as nothing unusual. For example, a third trail behind a 2-engine jet might be vapor from the jet auxiliary power generator in the rear of most airliners. Other phenomena, however, are more difficult to explain, such as rapidly intermittent trails. It is hard to imagine any cause for this based on the theory that these are merely water vapor turning to ice. White trails from wingtips also are hard to explain based on this theory unless we are dealing with high-performance aircraft making tight maneuvers, which these aircraft clearly are not doing. You be the judge. YouTube Posted  2012 Jan 6
