Anybody can email me at my automotive startup at alliancevehiclesinc@gmail.com. I'm a huge critic of prevailing electric car technology and welcome debate with anyone about that topic. Anyone considering a Tesla or Leaf please talk to me first. <br /><br />To me the Kennedy assassination is a prism to understanding a lot of things, and Mark Lane's books about it are the place to start.<br /><br />I also like Joseph Trento's book about the Edwin Wilson affair, "Prelude to Terror." His earlier book, "The Secret History of the CIA" was largely the perspective of James Angleton after he was tossed out of CIA.<br /><br />John Stockwell's book about the CIA is indepensible, "In Search of Enemies," and you can find him on Youtube.<br /><br />To understand the Cold War the best work is by Raymond Gartoff, "A Walk Through the Cold War."<br /><br />I also like Evan Thomas' "The Very Best Men..." about the beginnings of the CIA.,<br />and also "Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner is alright.<br /><br />Everyone should read "The Israeli lobby" by Mersheimer and Waltz. And anything about the Arab-Israeli conflict by Edward Said, Noam Chomsky or Norman Finkelstein. These last two I'd look up on Youtube though before I bought any books becaue their lectures are far better.<br /><br />And finally I like David Irving. Any of his books about the Second World War and Germany are going to be highly documented.<br /><br /><br /><br /> MITmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712376188659356195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480959310171271494.post-75848491499538739952012-12-08T23:49:10.796-08:002012-12-08T23:49:10.796-08:00If the house ALWAYS won nobody would play.

If anyone should shut up it is he, not to mention MERIT A FULL SCALE INVESTIGATION INTO HIS FINANCES, censure & removal from office. He fails to preserve protect & defend the US Constitution, far more criminal than Adelson's assets & amassed wealth.<br /><br />Is his SEC INVESTIGATION mandated by Holder, merely a coincidence?<br /><br />It's not like Adelson suddenly appeared on the scene. He only came to the fore after financing Gingrich.<br /><br />Obama did say "Vote for revenge ."<br /><br />My motto has always been "live & let live," something resented by Obama the charlatan, & Reid, the true mobster, who is laundering my grand kids' future for his own personal enrichment.

Not only Milken but Perleman, Katzenberg, Diller and a host of others sport shiney pates.<br /><br />I am again reminded of Donald Trump's purported advise [given only in confidence to his closet sicophants] that bald men are all dishonest and never to be trusted.<br /><br />This is of course looney advise but actually in my own experience it's proven so far to be true, and I'm open to the idea that baldness might be nature's way of warning to others that the mellon that you're looking at harbors a dishonest mind, like some kind of scarlet letter of something.MITmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712376188659356195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480959310171271494.post-54180424775584329682012-12-07T15:42:42.201-08:002012-12-07T15:42:42.201-08:00Hey I'm not gonna throw any stones at the peop...Hey I'm not gonna throw any stones at the people in Las Vegas who make money off the entertainment inclinations of the public. As Vito Corleone once said, "It doesn't matter to me how a man makes his living." And I'd personally take that one step further with a favorite holla of mine from the '70's [my favorite era] "More power to ya!"<br /><br />As for Adelson's riches in particular, well that's a different story...<br /><br />The GARISH ATROCITY mega-hotel, "The Venitian" is a crime to all of us who love and sometime live in Italy.<br /><br />It cost a pretty penny to build, and it always made me wonder why that particular guy qualified for 800 million dollars in easy credit to build this monsterousity when my local bank won't lend me $300,000 without existing cash flow...<br /><br />Should I say that again!<br /><br />Banks won't loan that kinda money to ANY new business. Businesses need cash flow to qualify for credit from commercial banks or investment banks.<br /><br />Adelson's financing always smelled as fishy as the water in the bogus canals in his tacky casino.<br /><br />And as for his wacky political views...<br /><br />Anyone that stupid couldn't have made all that money honestly. The way he uses his wealth underlines the suspicious circumstances in which it was obtained.<br /><br />MITmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712376188659356195noreply@blogger.com
