Washington (CNN)-Arizona Rep. Trent Franks told CNN he was "seriously considering" running for retiring Senator Jon Kyl's Senate seat.
Asked if the decision by his House GOP colleague Rep. Jeff Flake to run would impact his decision on whether or not he would ultimately jump in the race, Franks responded, "Jeff is a decent man of the highest integrity." Franks then added, "of course" Flake's official announcement that's he's in would factor into his own decision on the race.
When pressed on a timetable for making an announcement Franks declined to give one.

(CNN)-President Barack Obama issued a veto threat Tuesday, following the introduction of a controversial spending bill last week. The bill is a continuing resolution that would fund federal government for the rest of the fiscal year and includes $100 billion dollars in spending cuts promised by House Republicans.
In a statement, the Obama administration affirmed that it is "committed to cutting spending and reducing the deficit so that current government spending does not add to the debt." But it also makes clear that it "does not support deep cuts that will undermine our ability to out-educate, out-build, and out-innovate the rest of the world," terms that sound familiar to those following the president's recent speeches.

Representative Allen West wrapped up CPAC with a fiery speech that brought the crowd to its feet. Too bad the Republican's right wing policies,  particularly his criticism of multiculturalism, could bring America to its knees. West's keynote speech, built around a "new dawn in America," had all the of the ideological hallmarks his conservative colleagues expected, including declarations that the deficit will destroy us, ruminations on the importance of religion and attacks on "liberal" media and institutions, including the EPA. And then there was his assertion that multiculturalism must be stopped.
"I believe we should celebrate the diversity of the melting pot called America," said Florida Rep. West, after declaring our national language is in peril, a veiled critique of illegal immigration. "But we must never allow multiculturalism to grow on steroids and define itself as making American culture subservient. And, yes, there is a definitive American culture." I'm not entirely sure that's true.
The Congressman claims to respect the melting pot, but how can that be? One can't respect the melting pot while also criticizing multiculturalism, because they are one and the same. Even if you don't foster multiculturalism, it will always pump through America's veins, because this nation was built on its ability to host myriad cultures.
West and his right-wing allies pride themselves on "traditional values and culture." The thing about tradition, however, is that it's it's rooted in the past. To the right, American culture shouldn't evolve. It should hark back to a bygone era, one in which the nuclear family reigned supreme and our nation's culture was defined by those in power, not the man on the street. But such an America no longer exists. That tradition has been swept away, becoming more Americana, an antiquated, borderline campy pop culture, than an actual representation of the nation today. There can be no one American culture, but rather a culture created by Americans of all shapes, sizes, religions and races.
To celebrate a singular national culture restricts access to those who don't fit the conservative mold, thereby creating an "us versus them" mentality that threatens to erode the unity our forefathers of every color and creed fought so hard to establish.
If West wants to see a "new dawn" in America, he would use his pulpit and power to encourage diversity, rather than closing the doors to progress.

We are being manipulated in a yoyo-like fashion by these private banking interests who
care nothing for the welfare of the nation. With such concentrated power in so few hands, market
rallies and crashes can be planned with precision. 1929 is a case in point. Mr. Curtis B. Dall in his
book, F.D.R., My Exploited Father-in-Law, states : “Probably the actual date (October 24, 1929) was
accidental, though the month was evidently selected for the sudden withdrawal of the normal
supply of credit. My guess is that the `signal’ came from abroad.” [5] He further adds “the
operation was carried out with ruthless finesse and vigor.” Mr. Wickliffe B. Vennard, Sr. comments
on the origins of the 1929 crash as follows : “The Slump. No unavoidable accident, but a
deliberately organized plot, this might be termed the financial assassination of millions. Those who
survived did so only through large-scale borrowing, thus placing industry and agriculture further in
pawn to the financiers.” [6] Charles A. Lindberg, Sr. observed : “Under the Federal Reserve Act
panics are scientifically created; the present panic (1929) is the first scientifically created one,
worked out as we figure a mathematical problem.” In 1933 there were over 12 million
unemployed. The cause of this panic was simply a lack of money. Had our Congress voted to
abolish the Federal Reserve Bank then and create a sound money system, it is estimated that the
depression would not have lasted for more than three to four months.
Prior to 1932 the Federal Reserve Notes were backed by sixty per cent gold and forty per cent
commercial paper. But during the first part of the Roosevelt administration, the ratio was changed
to forty per cent gold and sixty per cent government bonds. After the United States went off the
gold standard, the gold backing was entirely removed and gold certificates were quietly withdrawn
from circulation. This mw permitted the money pool to issue their Federal Reserve Notes with 100
per cent backing in the form of government bonds. It increased their profits and put the American
taxpayer in increasing financial jeopardy to them. Gradually the banking cartel was able to control
the selection of the Open Market Committee so that the Reserve Gold Certificates could be used to
control the gold in Ft. Knox. Through manipulation of bookkeeping entries, they obtained control
of this gold. Another effect of this act was to release the Federal Reserve Bank from its obligation
http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/grem/grem_04.html (3 of 18)5.4.2006 9:10:59
to redeem their notes in gold for American citizens. The gold which Americans believed was
owned by the government was in reality turned over to the Federal Reserve Bank after passage of
the act, and our government acted merely as its custodian. We must remember, however, that gold
in a vault does not draw interest, and the greedy bankers decided to sell the bulk of this metal in
foreign markets at prices above our pegged price of $35.00 per ounce. Since it is unlawful for
Americans to own gold (under most circumstances), foreign interests have been given a bonanza to
profit from at our expense.
The privately owned Federal Reserve Bank now has a virtual monopoly on the economy of our
nation because of their power to issue the currency for the people of the United States. By law,
Federal Reserve Notes are obligations of the United States government. 12USC 411 reads :
“Federal Reserve Notes to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ... The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and ... They shall be
redeemable in lawful money on demand.” (December 23, 1913). This act unconstitutionally
delegated the power to issue our money to this monopolistic cartel and is the culminating
achievement of over 100 years of intrigue and plotting.
Our money gets into circulation as follows. When the government needs money for current
operating expenses, a request is sent to the Federal Reserve Bank stating the amount needed.
Authorization to issue the notes is sent to the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Printing and
Engraving which in turn prints bonds (I.O.U.s) in the amount requested. These bonds are then
exchanged for an equivalent amount in Federal Reserve Notes. The government is credited with
the amount of the deposited bonds and now may draw checks against the entry. When the new
money is ready, it is delivered by the Treasury Department to the Federal Reserve Banks which in
turn pays it out to commercial banks.

Lest our hypotheses appear to be wild speculations, the reader should consider some biographical information on William Cooper.
William Cooper was an intelligence agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence in Bethesda, MD. Following World War II, German scientists were in great demand by all of the U.S. intelligence agencies, which actually competed for their fair share of Nazi war criminals! To meet this demand, the dossiers of Nazi scientists, engineers, physicists, doctors, psychiatrists and intelligence agents were sanitized in several operations, the most well-known and last being Operation Paperclip; previously there were Operation Overcast, and Operation Sunrise. Bethesda Naval Hospital would become the center for CIA mind-control drug projects following WW II, according to "Project Paperclip and the Nuremberg Trials Whitewash":
"Under the terms of [Project] Paperclip there was fierce competition not only between the wartime allies but also between the various US services - always the most savage form of combat. Curtis LeMay saw his new-minted US Air Force as certain to prompt the navy's virtual extinction and thought this process would be speeded if he were able to acquire as many German scientists and engineers as possible. For its part, the US Navy was equally eager to snare its measure of war criminals. One of the first men picked up by the navy was a Nazi scientist named Theordore Benzinger. Benzinger was an expert on battlefield wounds, expertise he gained through explosive experiments conducted on human subjects during the waning stages of World War II. Benzinger ended up with a lucrative government contract working as a researcher at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland." - 949
William Cooper credits his selection for this Nazi-infested organization to his membership as a young adult in the DeMolay Society, a branch of Freemasonry.
"The Knights Templar exist today as a higher degree of Freemasonry within the Templar Order. In fact, the Knights Templar is a branch of the Order of the Quest. The DeMolay Society is a branch of the Freemasons that consecrates the memory of the persecution of the Knights Templar and in particular, their leader Jacques deMolay. I know, because I was a member of the DeMolay Society as a young adult. I loved the mystery and ritual. I became separated from the Society when my family moved to a location out of reach of any lodge. I believe to this day that my association with the DeMolay Society may have been the reason for my selection for Naval Security and Intelligence." - 51:75
    
Washington (CNN) -- Continuing his flirtations with a White House bid, real estate mogul Donald Trump defended his conservative credentials across the board in an interview with Fox News Monday night.
"I'm a very conservative person. I'm very big into the military. I'm a great guy for defense," Trump told Fox New's Greta Van Susteren. "I am probably as conservative as anybody on your show, and that's going a pretty strong step. I'm a Republican. I'm a very conservative Republican.

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama plans to have a news conference at 11 a.m. ET Tuesday, the White House announced. He will discuss the budget proposal he released Monday.
The Ticker will live blog the event.
       The Merovingian Kings, their supposed Holy Bloodline (and their true progenitor), have a rich and twisted history all their own, yet is directly connected to the supposed findings of the Templars in that they are the connective link between the Christ lineage and European Royalty, which is believed to include the Hapsburgs, Plantagenets, and Stuarts, among others. According to this latest revived heresy developed with a very specific purpose and timeframe yet to play out, Jesus did not die on the cross and rise from the dead becoming mankind's Salvation, instead it is claimed He had sex with Mary Magdalene, survived the Roman crucifixion, and lived to father at least one, or a number of Divine children, the firstborn said to be a son named Judah or Merovee, a name later given to the first Merovingian King in France (447 to 458 AD) while others believe the child was actually a daughter, given the name of Sarah (or Tamar, which became the name of an ultra-secretive organization whose task it was to protect future Merovingian descendants). Regardless of the supposed names, titles, and endless genealogies, an entire race of enlightened Christ-like beings each leading to the next in succession in some Messianic Dynasty has supposedly passed down through the ages toward a final One who would rule in the name of Christ, albeit, in the stead (instead) of Christ. This could only be Anti-Christ. The same who take these fanciful claims of Christ having 'holy' children who twist it into historical fact also say these "truths" were kept hidden from the rest of the world, having been suppressed by the Catholic Church and revealed only by the original Knights Templar who then passed these shocking revelations on to an underground stream of alchemists, astrologers, cabalists, necromancers, and elite Royal families through various secret societies such as the main inheritors of the Templarian secrets, the Freemasons. The fact that this information is becoming known and falsely tauted as the Bloodline of Christ to this generation indicates the time of the Merovingian Antichrist revealing is near. 
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- It doesn't come as a shock that Republicans aren't thrilled with President Obama's budget proposal. But Democrats aren't exactly jumping for joy either.
Obama's budget targets community block grants, a program that helps low-income people pay their energy bills, and the popular Pell grant program to aid college students. All are part of the social safety net Democrats often fight to protect.

CNN: Obama's budget: A play for the center?The plan wasn't even officially out before the criticism started rolling in. President Obama's proposed $3.7 trillion budget was slammed by the left and the right Monday. Outraged liberals called it a callous assault on the poor; dismissive conservatives labeled it a debt-riddled assault on future generations. Which raises the question: Is Obama's budget blueprint exactly what the president needs to capture the broad political center in the runup to 2012?
CNNMoney: Budget chiefs: Not happy with Obama planThe top budget chiefs from both political parties criticized President Obama's 2012 budget Monday. Democrat Kent Conrad and Republican Paul Ryan, the budget chairmen in the Senate and House respectively, share one big beef: The Obama budget remains effectively silent on how to address the long-term drivers of debt -- Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. By the end of the decade, those entitlement programs, together with interest owed on the country's debt, could command most of federal tax revenue coming in the door. Though ideologically different, Conrad and Ryan are both deficit hawks who sat on the president's bipartisan debt commission.

"One of the greatest secrets of the ages is the true story of the Holy Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of Crucifixion, and whether Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a child..." - 51:75
In Behold a Pale Horse, William Cooper claimed that he actually knew the location in France of the Holy Grail, which he strongly implied includes the bones of Jesus!
"The Prieure de Sion was a religious order founded upon Mount Sion in Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of preserving and recording the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through every means available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved the remaining relics... The treasure hidden in France is not the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Grail itself, the robe of Jesus, the last remaining pieces of the Cross of Crucifixion, and, according to my sources, someone's bones. I can tell you that the reality of the bones will shake the world to its very foundations if I have been told the truth. The relics are hidden in France. I know the location..." (
