Wal-Mart and Osama on NPR

This is really a very cheap attempt to discredit WM and in fact all it does is hurt the campaign of WMW and WUWM.
No need to get in the gutter to try and make a point even if it is ridiculous.

HOW does it ‘hurt’ the campaign of WMW and WUWM????

If you have a point to make MAKE IT.

“Jeopardizing National Security”.

Do you mean when Bill Clinton’s lack of a response to any provocation encouraged Bin Laden (by his own admission) to attack the US? Do you refer to Bill Clinton’s refusal to take Bin Laden after Sudan offered him THREE TIMES because Clinton felt that Bin Laden could not be convicted in court? Do you mean Bill Clinton renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to any Chinese Communist with a check? Do you mean the $2 billion in military hardware we “lose” each year? Do you mean the thousands of laptops and computers containing classified information that have disappeared? Do you mean the 12 million illegal immigrants who have invaded our country ILLEGALLY?

Or are you referring to outsourcing? Do you mean that Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, K-Mart, Sears, JC Penney, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, GAP, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Marshall’s, GE, Hewlitt-Packard, Dell, GM, Ford, Chrysler, US Steel, Citigroup, Bank of America, John Deere Co., Microsoft and a thousand other companies are jeopardizing our national security for profit?

If Wal-Mart is guilty of anything of this sort (and I don’t believe they are) then you also have to condemn every single company that buys from outside the US or deals with companies that buy outside the US. That would be..............99% of all American companies.

Under the guise of “national security” the unions are trying to convince conservatives that Wal-Mart and Bin Laden are tied together. Of course, conservatives are much more intelligent than the average liberal sheep so these ads will have no effect. US Union workers at US Steel benefit from overseas steel manufacturing. Appliance workers at GE benefit from overseas components. GM and Ford build entire cars in Canada and Mexico. Dell gets tech support from India. And so on.

This ad is so childish and immature, you have to wonder why the UFCW actually PAID someone to do it.

Nick,

I’ll tell you “why”—the sponsors of the ad wanted to further play on the emotions of those whose lives haven’t yet been “touched” by the UFCW’s outreach programs.  Particualrly, anyone who is patriotic or who otherwise had connections to the regions/people affected by what happened on September 11, 2001.

My goal is not to get political, but you did touch on something—though many Americans can’t recall it, may have forgotten it, or simply otherwise just don’t get it—we’ve been dealing with Bin Laden and his ilk long before 9/11 (albeit, it was in a questionable manner). 

Anyone out there remember the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998?  How about even further back to 1996 and the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 of our Air Force personnel? 

I need not tell you whose watch all those deaths happened on.

Personally, I thought the UFCW’s campaign to “link” Bin Laden to Wal-Mart was not only tacky, but hit a new all-time low in WM-bashing.

All of a sudden, the UFCW’s ad agency is making the Edelman/Wal-Mart connection look good, by comparison.

THE BUSH PRESIDENCY IS A FAILURE- Time to blame the Democrats and the unions for having become vigilant.

Follow the Money: Bush, 9/11, and Deep Threat
by Fran Shor

“What did the President know and when did he know it?” This question, evocative of the Watergate investigation, is now being posed by politicians and pundits seeking to determine what information the Bush Administration had prior to the incidents of September 11, 2001. No amount of denial and back-pedaling by the Bush Administration can cover up the fact that Bush had advance knowledge of possible terror attacks on US targets by the followers of Osama bin Laden. While it’s clear that Bush was personally briefed on August 6, 2001 about the possibility of those attacks, it remains unclear about the nature and extent of precautions, if any, taken to prevent such attacks.

What becomes particularly relevant in the lead-up to 9/11 is the August CIA briefing of Bush concerning the potential threat of attacks by bin Laden using hijacked planes on certain sites, such as the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and the fact that the CIA had bugging equipment on bin Laden messages and international banking operations.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/22/terror/main2035427.shtml

“I need not tell you whose watch all those deaths happened on.”

The attitude of the Bush crowd and their heavy connections with the Waltons, WalMart, and Bentonvilles ‘love of money’ psychopaths demand vigilance from any who can give it. Bush lying to Americans to start a war in Iraq is not much different from “who gives a crap about container security” and the basic WalMart renown arrogance and attitude about anything they perceive disrupts their financial interest. Even if it puts Americans at risk.

WalMart- Try and get Edelman fake bloggers to blame the Democrats and unions for 9/11 and subsequent security failures. The WalMart worship imbeciles think it will make Bush look good and divert attention from WalMart’s opposition to container screening for WMDs.

SDV

‘No amount of denial and back-pedaling by the Bush Administration can cover up the fact that Bush had advance knowledge of possible terror attacks on US targets by the followers of Osama bin Laden. While it’s clear that Bush was personally briefed on August 6, 2001 about the possibility of those attacks, it remains unclear about the nature and extent of precautions, if any, taken to prevent such attacks’

I would like to hear your explanation for this ridiculous cut & paste job most likely copied from the Code Pink website. Advance knowledge of possible terror attacks? Hello? Do you remember the World Trade Center in 1993, our embassies in 1996, the USS Cole in 1998? Do you remember Sudan offering Bin Laden to the Clinton Administration THREE TIMES? Why did Clinton refuse? Oh, that’s right, he refused because he didn’t feel that Osama Bin Laden could be charged with a crime & convicted! To Clinton, our national security is a law enforcement issue, which probably explains his huge reductions in our military capabilities.

I would like you to explain just why you think Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 and what he could have done to prevent it? If someone briefed you and said “Bin Laden plans terror attack on the US” what would YOU do? Wouldn’t any rational person’s first thought before 9/11 focus on WMD’s and attacks on our embassies & bases abroad? If I sat you down right now and said “Terrorists plan on attacking the US” how would you respond? What would you do to prevent it?

That is such a general statement that no human being could have responded to it. Even low IQ people knew that terrorists wanted to attack us. We are the bastion of freedom and the home to 300 million LEGAL people. We are visited heavily by tourists and businesspeople and overrun by “students” from foreign countries. Are you telling me that Bush should know every possible scanerio and every way to prevent it? Did YOU know that a couple of ragheads would use a box cutter to take over a plane and crash it into a building? Did you know which plane and when?

You make the same mistake all liberals make. You are so rabid in your hatred of the President that you will say and do anything, including betraying our men & women in uniform, to make Bush look bad. This country used to be united against a common enemy. Now, Democrats will sell our freedom down the river if it means they can pick up a few more seats in the Senate.

SDV, please explain your wacko theories and tell us all how you would have stopped 9/11, since you obviously believe Bush should have done so.

Nick/EllisW aka imbecile number -0 and 2,

We already know you don’t do your homework and just ramble on at this site with economic and financial claims from the mental lockdown ward. But these facts about options trading might interest you through your delirium.

Traders And Traitors

Sudden spikes in Wall Street trading are closely checked by PROMIS software. On Sept.10, as a Brooklyn high school student of Middle Eastern descent warned classmates not to venture into Manhattan, automatic stock-trading alarms would have been triggered when 4,516 “put” options were suddenly purchased against American Airlines.

Essentially leveraged bets that American’s stocks were about to “crash”, the day’s trading volume was 600% higher than the usual level of trading in AA shares. A similar sudden spike in UAL “put” purchases represented a 1,200% jump in the usual number of daily stock “bets” placed against United the day before that airline also lost two planes.

The WTC’s biggest tenant, Morgan Stanley saw a daily average of 27 “put” contracts. On Sept. 8, 9 and 10, someone with inside knowledge of the Twin Towers takedown bought 2,157 of Morgan Stanley options. Merrill Lynch, another big brokerage house occupying 22 floors of the WTC, saw 12,215 put options purchased in the four trading days leading up to the attacks. The average trading volume in Merrill Lynch shares is 252 contracts per day. [The Independent Oct. 14, 2001]

Was There A CIA Connection?

It turns out that the investment bank used to place “put options” on United Airlines stock was managed until 1998 by “Buzzy” Krongard. Currently executive director of the CIA, Krongard helmed the Alex Brown bank when it was acquired by Banker’s Trust in 1997. Accused of laundering drug-money, Banker’s Trust was then absorbed into Deutsche Bank. Europe’s biggest blockbuster bank next made the news by being named the hub of insider trades involving the insurance company Munich Re. European regulators are now examining unusually heavy trades in Munich Re, Swiss Re, Cigna and Axa of France. Each of these underwriters was exposed to heavy losses from the destruction of the Trade Center. Like Alex Brown, Axa and Cigna insurers have close links to the international drug trade and its handmaiden, the CIA. [AFD]

The US Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George J. Tenet announced on March 16, 2001, the appointment of A.B. “Buzzy” Krongard to serve as Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The Executive Director is the third ranking position within the CIA and the incumbent functions essentially as the Chief Operating Officer of the Agency. For three years prior, Krongard had served as Counselor to the DCI.

A longtime consultant to DCIs, Krongard joined the Agency full time in February 1998, following a 29-year business career. During his private sector career, he served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Alex Brown Incorporated, the nation’s oldest investment banking firm, and Vice Chairman of the Board of Bankers Trust.

While it’s clear that Bush was personally briefed on August 6, 2001 about the possibility of those attacks…

What becomes particularly relevant in the lead-up to 9/11 is the August CIA briefing of Bush concerning the potential threat of attacks by bin Laden using hijacked planes on certain sites, such as the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and the fact that the CIA had bugging equipment on bin Laden messages and international banking operations.

“I need not tell you whose watch all those deaths happened on.”

WalMart/Bush- Let us blame the liberals and Democrats for all our criminal actions, omissions, frauds, lies and incompetence. Nick/EllisW a WalMart worship imbecile thinks that is what makes America great.

Events often cast their shadows beforehand. You need to know what to look for. Buzzy Krongard saw it coming and left a trail of options breadcrums.

SDV,

What was that “Someone” once said—all substance/no style?

That post proved it.  Now, some facts.

FYI (and anyone else interested), the airline industry was already hemorraghing money and some airlines had already failed LONG BEFORE the events of 9/11.  All the legacy carriers (meaning most every airline expect for the new generation “discounters” such as Southwest, JetBlue, and AirTran) either went bankrupt or came pretty close to bankruptcy.  In fact, TWA folded in April 2001 (and its’ bankrupt assets, including the St. Louis hub were sold-off to American Airlines, who promptly dismantled the STL hub and put over 5K ex-TWA employees on the unemployment rolls).

By the time 9/11 happened, both AA and United were already teetering on the brink of financial disaster, add the potential loss of those four aircraft, and you have more than enough potential to ruin both legacy carriers (between the two, AA did manage to hang in there - barely, while United ended-up filing for bankruptcy).

That said, I think the material you posted is very highly questionable.

JB (I’m #3, I’m not working hard-enough)

P.S.  Regarding what I said in an earlier post - “I need not tell you whose watch all those deaths happened on”.  The facts are obvious - Bush was Governor of Texas in 1996!  Who was actually running the show at that time is another story in itself.

From the San Francisco Chronicle-

New scrutiny of airlines options deals

Christian Berthelsen, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, September 19, 2001

The Chicago Exchange, the largest options market in the nation and the board on which United options are officially listed, experienced volume eight times its normal levels in the trading of UAL Corp. put options on the Friday before the attack.

On the day before the terrorist attack there was a spike of 25 times the normal levels in the trading ratio of UAL put options, with larger-than- average volume coming through the Pacific Exchange.

More signs of odd stock trades found
By Greg Farrell, USA TODAY
09/26/2001 - Updated 12:21 AM ET

NEW YORK — Evidence continues to mount that unusual stock and option trading in the parents of American Airlines, United Airlines and other companies reached unusual levels in the days leading up to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

Data from the New York Stock Exchange show that on Sept. 10, short interest — a bet on a falling stock price — in United Airlines’ parent UAL had jumped 40% from the Aug. 10 level, to 4.4 million shares.

Phil Erlanger, who tracks short interest and options on www.erlangersqueeze play.com, says that level of short interest in UAL is unprecedented. Compared with the 12-month average daily trading volume, UAL’s short interest ratio reached 11.1 days. It was 7.8 in August. That means the number of shares sold short equaled more than 11 trading days of UAL’s average volume. That ratio stood at 1.1 last year and has been building for 12 months. “You haven’t seen this kind of short ratio in years,” says Erlanger.

“It’s not the type of thing you’d normally do, unless you were sure the stock price was going to go down,” says Erlanger. “There was nothing going on to warrant that kind of speculation. The footprint is there. You’ve just got to find which shoe fits it.”

“That said, I think the material you posted is very highly questionable.”

Bunch- You need to find an earlier volume of your right wing excuse manuel and claim the facts never even happened. Everyone knows facts don’t make any sense to you as a convenience blogger for WalMart. But this is where you were supposed to say the options traded never happened.

SDV,

So, let me get this straight—last week, you were a man of the cloth, and now, this???

Sorry to disappoint you, but the SF Chronicle and USA Today are not on my usual required reading list—must’ve really missed something, there!

What I didn’t miss is that prior to my arrival, here at WMW, I had been following both the airline and banking industies.  As I stated earlier in this thread, the airline industry was already going to hell in a handbasket, and that was long before 9/11 (9/11 just made bad matters even worse).

Obviously, you have your little conspiracy theories, and I have mine.

Your pal,

The group hopes to appeal to conservatives, who have not been moved by earlier ads that condemn Wal-Mart’s labor practices.

Conservatives may not be moved by Wal-Mart’s labor practices, but they are moved by Wal-Mart’s embracing of homosexuality.

Conservatives Mobilize Against Wal-Mart

The AFA (American Family Association) says Wal-Mart should have remained neutral in the cultural battle over homosexual marriage.

It says Wal-Mart made an “ideological” decision, not a business decision.

Ken V,

You seem to like quotes, how about this one:

A neoconservative, is a liberal who has been mugged by reality. ~ Irving Kristol

Or this one:

Modern liberalism, for most liberals is not a consiously understood set of rational beliefs, but a bundle of unexamined prejudices and conjoined sentiments.  The basic ideas and beliefs seem more satisfactory when they are not made fully explicit, when they merely lurk rather obscurely in the background, coloring the rhetoric and adding a certain emotive glow. ~ James Burnham

Or this one:

Whenever a Republican leaves one side of the asile and goes to the other, it raises the intelligence quotient of both parties. ~ Clare Booth Luce

Obviously, you have your little conspiracy theories, and I have mine.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

CONSPIRACY CULTURE OVER DEATH OF PAT TILLMAN-

Shopping for War at Walmart (Updated with correspondence from the Marine Corps, May 17, 2005)
By Ian Thompson with Axis editorial comment and photos
May 12, 2005, 15:41

With the help of a young man in civilian clothes, the young Marine Recruiter set up an outdoor Marine recruiting station(*see correspondence below) in front of the Walmart to intercept young people, purchasing gifts for their mothers. So the “Few and the Proud” are now targeting our young people while they shop for their mothers. It spoke to me of desperation and lack of honor - Recruiting* our sons and daughters - in partnership with Walmart - to die for the corporate war in Iraq - on Mother’s Day. How low can they go?

In Ian Thompson’s riveting report below, he explains why the U.S. military is having to take such desperate measures to recruit* young people to fight and die in an unprovoked, genocidal war that the United States has already lost. - Les Blough, Editor

http://www.axisoflogic.com/cgi-bin/exec/view.pl?archive=137&num=17561

A report described in The Washington Post on May 4, 2005 (prepared upon the request of Tillman’s family) by Brig. Gen. Gary M. Jones revealed that in the days immediately following Tillman’s death, U.S. Army investigators were aware that Tillman was killed by friendly fire, shot three times to the head.[1] Jones reported that senior Army commanders, including Gen. John Abizaid, knew of this fact within days of the shooting but nevertheless approved the awarding of the Silver Star, Purple Heart, and a posthumous promotion. The citation report accompanying these awards said that Tillman was killed by enemy forces and contained a detailed account of the supposed battle--which Army leadership knew had never taken place. 

Tillman’s family was not informed of the finding that he was killed by friendly fire until weeks after his memorial service, although at least some senior Army officers knew of that fact prior to the service ([4]). Tillman’s parents have sharply criticized the Army’s handling of the incident; they charge that the Army was more concerned about protecting its image and its recruiting efforts( ) than about telling the truth.[5]

His mother Mary Tillman told The Washington Post, “The fact that he was the ultimate team player and he watched his own men kill him is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting.” Tillman’s father, Patrick Tillman, Sr., was incensed by the coverup of the cause of his son’s death, which he attributed to a conscious decision by the leadership of the U.S. Army to protect the Army’s image. 

“After it happened, all the people in positions of authority went out of their way to script this ( ). They purposely interfered with the investigation; they covered it up. I think they thought they could control it, and they realized that their recruiting efforts were going to go to hell in a handbasket if the truth about his death got out. They blew up their poster boy."[6]

He also blamed high-ranking Army officers for presenting “outright lies” to the family and to the public.[7]

Later, Tillman’s father suggested in a letter to The Washington Post that the Army hierarchy’s purported mistakes were part of a pattern of conscious misconduct:

With respect to the Army’s reference to ‘mistakes in reporting the circumstances of [my son’s] death’: those ‘mistakes’ were deliberate, calculated, ordered (repeatedly), and disgraceful—conduct well beneath the standard to which every soldier in the field is held.[8][9]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Tillman

WalMart/Bush patriotism- We are a culture of frauds, lies and recruitment for murder. So the Army killed one of its own and then covered it up. We spy on our ‘associates’ and customers and any anybody else we please. Then we help recruit poor young suckers for Bush incompetence in the Iraqi corporate slaughterhouse and oil genocide machine. Recruitment and image manipulations for the poor, welcome to the WalMart/Bush culture and corporate attitude towards the American people. 

continues-

ARMY IMAGE CONSPIRACY FOR PAT TILLMAN"S DEATH

The September 25, 2005 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported that Tillman held views which were critical of the Iraq war and did not support President Bush’s re-election. According to Tillman’s mother, a friend of Tillman had arranged a meeting with Noam Chomsky, to take place after his return from Afghanistan. Chomsky confirmed this [12]. The article also reported that Tillman urged a soldier in his platoon to vote for John Kerry in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. [13] However this could not be independently verified due to his death in Afghanistan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Tillman

The Marines have even gone so far as to sponsor in-store running advertisements on all the television sets in 2,600 Walmart stores nationwide until the end of summer! The two Marine recruiting commercials that will be playing every hour from 7 am to 11 pm are titled “Family Photos” and “For Country.” The military is certainly no stranger to in-store advertising as we have recently seen the National Guard partnering up with Blockbuster Video, inserting recruiting brochures into DVD rental cases across the country; but this Walmart television idea is a new strategy.

WalMart- We are not just ‘greeter jobs’ for disabled veterans, we are ‘low wage’ impoverishment and advanced pay day loans. You should be grateful for the poverty we create for America. That is if you survive the initial propaganda bullshit of the WalMart/Bush culture war against the suckers.

SDV,

Better watch how you use that term “disabled veteran” in the same sentence as “impoverishment and advance pay day loans” as I happen to be a disabled vet, myself.

And yes, as a veteran, I found your closing statement (the only original piece in the whole post) extremely offensive.

But then again, what else can I expect from someone who has diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain?

Your pal,

Bunch you imbecile/fraud get your face unglued from the WalMart Worship Hymnal-

If you are so concerned about “disabled veterans” then take up the Army for treating military wounded like this-

Lawyers contend veterans are pushed through disability system

By Michael Gilbert
McClatchy Newspapers

EXCERPTS INCLUDE-

“Meanwhile, in a letter sent after visiting Fort Lewis several weeks ago, the Army’s top civilian lawyer raised concerns about a possible “Wal-Mart greeter test” in determining whether soldiers are well enough to be denied benefits.”

“The revisions are apparently in response to complaints that have come to light in the wake of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal last month. Since then, soldiers and their advocates have raised questions about the fairness of the Army’s system for determining whether wounded and injured soldiers are fit for duty, and if they’re not, how to compensate them for their disabilities.”

“It was claimed that PEBs employed a `Wal-Mart greeter’ test, whereby if an injured soldier could function as a Wal-Mart greeter he or she would receive a rating of 0 percent disability, as opposed to the outcome mandated” by Army and Defense Department regulations, Cohen wrote.”

http://vawatchdog.org/07/nf07/nfMAR07/nf032607-6.htm

WalMart- Bush cannon fodder recruited at WalMart stores equaled impoverished ‘volunteers’ that couldn’t find jobs anywhere and can now be measured again by Bush/Walton economics and WalMart impoverishment ‘greeter’ status. The noble thing for America’s veterans is to avoid WalMart poverty and gain ‘living wages’ and the dignity of a future for their families. Not that Jim Bunch really gives a damn about “disabled veterans” as a WalMart blogger fraud.

SDV,

You like to quote from linkages, so much, I have one that was made for you:

Here you are Bunch-

As an imbecile you earned yourself the Helen Keller quote-

““People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.”

And this website for your blogger fraud status-

WalMart- We are culture frauds and pay Edelman bloggers mucho denarius to deceive Americans. Just ask Jim Bunch.

SDV,

If that’s the case, tell the gang at Edelman I’ll take mine in U.S. currency, rather than denarius (as I might have trouble spending those old things at Wal-Mart).

I was wondering why they hadn’t paid me, yet—now, I know!

SDV,

“As an imbecile you earned yourself the Helen Keller quote-

““People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.” “

Gee, and I thought Hellen Keller promoted dignity, self reliance and independence, not ‘government handouts’!!  I think she would reach the conclusion, that a job, is better than a welfare check!!!  By the way, how many other places hire ‘disabled vets’?  I think they deserve dignity, not pity!!!

Bob with additional ignorant displays-
“Gee, and I thought Hellen Keller promoted dignity, self reliance and independence, not ‘government handouts’!!  I think she would reach the conclusion, that a job, is better than a welfare check!!!’

You mean like $billions in subsidies for WalMart. Or their dumping ‘associates’ onto the states for health care, section 8 housing, food stamps etc etc and the taxpayer suckers to pick-up those bills for the WalMart/Bentonville who won’t pay a ‘living wage’ for labor.

I know. You are going to claim that the taxpayers are not subsidizing WalMart on section 8 housing for their employees because all those impoverished ‘associates’ are either down at the homeless shelter or living in their cars.

WalMart- Bush cannon fodder recruited at WalMart stores equaled impoverished ‘volunteers’ that couldn’t find jobs anywhere and can now be measured again by Bush/Walton economics and WalMart impoverishment ‘greeter’ status. The noble thing for America’s veterans is to avoid WalMart poverty and gain ‘living wages’ and the dignity of a future for their families.

WalMart- It is not just a job with dignity, it’s advanced payday loans and reference telephone numbers for social services.
