Why Did Mitt Romney Choose the Henry Ford Museum to Announce his Candidacy?

Seeing Mitt Romney campaigning in Michigan today reminded me of his strange decision to announce his candidacy at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

To be fair, people of Romney's age were brought up believing that Henry Ford was one of America's greatest citizens. Since then however, the real truth of Henry Ford has been revealed. Henry-Ford.org is a good place to start to find out who the auto pioneer really was. There are plenty of books on the subject if you're sceptical of internet information.

There is a reason Henry Ford bought the Dearborn Independent newspaper to spread the lies of the Protocols of Zion. There is a reason that Henry Ford is the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf. There is a reason he received Germany's highest honor, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle on his 75th birthday. There is a reason Hitler had a life-size portrait of Ford behind his desk. Henry Ford was one of the world's great anti-Semites and wanted to see every last Jew exterminated.

This must be known by someone as well-versed as Romney. There can be no excuse for using the Henry Ford museum as a backdrop to his candidacy, except perhaps that Romney is seriously uneducated, willfully ignorant, or extremely tolerant of racists like Henry Ford and the legacy they've left.

Did the LAPD Send Lee Harvey Oswald to Russia?

In the book, Chief: My Life in the L.A.P.D., Daryl Gates writes that the Los Angeles Police Department had a special intelligence unit that ran a program which sent American spies to Russia, totally clandestine and under deep cover. This was during the during the same period when Lee Harvey Oswald made his strange trip to the Soviet Union. A natural question arises; was the accused assassin part of the program?

A few words about Daryl Gates are in order. Gates went to University of Southern California on the G.I. Bill. He worked closely with the infamous Police Chief Bill Parker. Gates is a notorious right winger. He was in charge during the Watts riot that occurred five days after the Voting Rights Act passed in1965. Despite his failures during the riots, he was considered an expert on riots and riot control and helped prepare other police chiefs for the riots that would occur in other parts of the country. He worked with the Marines at Camp Pendleton to find the best snipers. His policies were viewed as racist and led to the Rodney King beating and many other abuses of police power. He was also in charge during the second Los Angeles riot. Even someone as famous as Peter Ueberroth was not afraid to ask the question, "Is it true that Daryl Gates is a Nazi?" It was Gates who started S.W.A.T, Special Weapons and Tactics, which put military weapons into the hands of the police. He was behind the Drug Awareness program for kids called D.A.R.E which educates kids in the inner cities about drugs and how to use them.

Two interesting facts emerge when studying Daryl Gates. The first one is how interested he was in Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassination. Just a few hours before Oswald was murdered by Ruby, Gates was on the phone talking to the Dallas Police Department. The second one is that he was in charge of Robert Kennedy's security at the Ambassador Hotel the night of RFK's assassination. Actually, there was no security. Gates kept the police away claiming somebody told him Bobby didn't want the LAPD there. The Los Angeles Police would burn most of the photos related to the assassination before Sirhan's trial began. Then Gates kept the case secret for twenty-five years. When he was forced to release the files, he had destroyed most of the evidence.

Many have made the claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was sent to Russia by the CIA, when it could be as simple as a group of private citizens or a local agency like the LAPD behind it. The LAPD was extremely anti-Communist in those days. It had secret divisions investigating subversives which kept huge files on private citizens. If Oswald was recruited by the LAPD it would show him to be a right wing operative, not the communist many claim him to be.

Do You Believe There was a 9/11 Conspiracy?

Pretty crazy right? But I do.

I believe that 19 hijackers conspired to hijack four planes and fly them into four different buildings.

Oh wait, is that a conspiracy theory? Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Am I crazy for believing in conspiracies then?

Of course not. Every thinking adult knows that conspiracies are a routine part of life. It's how cliques are formed and business is run. Every prosecutor worth his salt knows how to charge people with conspiracy. It's one of the government's greatest ways of prosecuting people for crimes they commit.

9/11 was a conspiracy. The government made the case and the public readily accepted it. So what makes a crazy conspiracy theory?

Crazy conspiracy theories are theories that the majority of people don't believe. So how do you get a majority to listen to a new theory that by definition is crazy because nobody knows about it yet?

Newspapers and books might advance it, juries and governments might legitimize it, a skeptical public might accept it, but all must be open to asking the question. Asking questions is what Rakemucker is all about.

Why do we call the Muslim Brotherhood al-Qaeda?

Khalid Sheik Mohammad, the man who organized 9/11, joined the Muslim Brotherhood at age 16. Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian who headed the Hamburg Cell, was part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian who leads Bin Laden around by the nose, is Muslim Brotherhood. 9/11 was a Muslim Brotherhood plot through and through.

The men behind the first World Trade Center attack in 1993, Ramzi Yousef and the Blind Sheikh, are Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian who wrote the Islamic extremist's terrorist manual, Ali Mohammed, is a member also. Mohammed was behind the bombings of the United States' embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Practically every terrorist incident in the last thirty years has been an act by members of the Muslim Brotherhood. That includes the assassination of Anwar Sadat, the Luxor Massacre which killed 58 tourists, the attack on the USS Cole, and the Millenium Plot. So what's all this about al Qaeda then?

America was bombarded with the idea that al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden were to blame for 9/11 and every other terrorist attack. Al-Qaeda was responsible for the rise in Islamic terrorism, they said. Not so, I’ve discovered. The real group that Americans should have been focused on was the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic group born, raised, and nurtured in Egypt.

The more you look at al-Qaeda, the less you find. There’s nothing there. Apparently, al-Qaeda is a name created in the United States. Any group that wants the same things as the Muslim Brotherhood is labeled al-Qaeda.

Although, the United States has tried to implicate al-Qaeda in some six degrees of separation kind of way, the evidence is overwhelming that these attacks were carried out by the Muslim Brotherhood, and a small group at that. The idea that there is some giant enemy lurking on the horizon is a fabrication. Most of the people responsible have been caught. They were well known by American intelligence and many of them were trained and funded by the United States.

It is obvious that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda are used to deflect attention from the Muslim Brotherhood. The reasons for this are obvious if you choose to look.

Can Mormonism Escape Its Extremist Past?

The Mormon religion has their own 9/11 story. On September 11th, 1857, a man named John D. Lee led a massacre of Arkansas settlers. It was an act of religious vengeance and 120 people were murdered in cold blood. Lee, who was very close to Brigham Young, an adopted son in fact, became known as the Terror of the West. Extremism has been a part of the church since the beginning.

In the 1800's, Brigham Young institutionalized racism in the Mormon Church for the next century. The Utah territory chose to side with the Confederacy and supported the institution of slavery. Mormonism was a racist religion and believed that blacks were cursed by God. They believed in the Curse of Cain and the Curse of Ham, they preached it, they taught it, it was accepted, it was the word of God. It wasn’t until 1978 that the Mormon Church decided blacks could be full members and the Curse of Cain was nullified.

The Curse of Ham is still in effect though. It's a story that's been used to legitimize slavery and justify terrorism in the name of God before the Civil War and later during the Civil Rights struggle.

Many associate Mormonism with polygamy. Both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young believed, without reservation, that polygamy was a fundamental tenet of the church, so it’s natural that many followers see the practice as part of God’s plan. This has been renounced by the current church hierarchy, but that doesn't stop many Mormons from following the religious dogma their founders established. These polygamists can be very brutal, kicking young men out of the community and taking child brides. Child rape is a common occurrence with brides as young as thirteen being taken against their will.

There can be no doubt that Mormonism has a checkered past. Former heads of the church have been extremists who’ve been members of the John Birch Society and who fought hard against Civil Rights. Mormons have established a quasi-theocracy in Utah, a far right state where political advancement is almost totally dependent on religious orthodoxy. Mormons support the far right agenda and it remains in question whether they can escape their extremist past

Has Osama Bin Laden been killed?

On November 11th, 2007 Benazir Bhutto said that Osama bin Laden has been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. That was two months ago. Since then Bhutto has been assassinated, shot to death by unknown extremists, sending Pakistan into chaos. This story has been getting a lot of attention around the world, but has been ignored in the United States. Since then, the BBC has redacted the portion of video in question. Bhutto might have meant to say, "Saeed Sheikh, the man who murderd Daniel Pearl," instead of saying Osama bin Laden, but it appears to be the only verbal gaffe the eloquent woman made in the entire interview.

Who Are the Clintons?


One clue might be Bill Clinton's relationship with Pamela Harriman, the wealthy Democratic activist who helped make Clinton president. Harriman died in 1997. "She was a longtime patron of Clinton's going back to his days as Arkansas governor, and has raised millions of dollars for the Democratic Party. "


It is probable that Clinton met Harriman early in his career as they were moving among the same social circles at Georgetown, Yale and Oxford and shared common political beliefs. Pamela Harriman was especially interested in making sure that abortion be a prime component of the Democratic Party. This is a position the Clinton's fully support, see Clinton Again Vetoes Abortion Ban.


This aspect deserves closer scrutiny. Abortion is closely connected to population control, an issue that was certainly important to Pamela Harriman. She married into the Churchill family and named her son after Winston, a passionate believer in eugenics. Click for an opposing view of Winston Churchill.


Pamela went on to marry Averill Harriman, another huge backer of eugenics, and political godfather to the Bush dynasty. The Bush's were the leading proponents of population control in the 50's and 60's.


Along the way, she became friends with Unity Mitford, meeting Adolph Hitler in 1937 as a teenager. Abortion has been labeled a women's rights issue, but it has always been pushed by advocates of eugenics. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a backer of negative eugenics, the idea that certain people should not be allowed to reproduce.


The Clintons have worked to promote population control around the world, defending abortion as a human right. This is a position shared by those in the eugenics world who see the birth of other races as regrettable. Combined with Bill Clinton's inaction when it came to the genocide in Rwanda and the mistruths he says about it, one has to wonder if Bill Clinton is who he says he is.


We know Hillary was a right wing nut at one time and is currently a tireless advocate for birth control and abortion rights around the world, we know that Bill Clinton has sided with the Harriman and Bush aristocracies, which have promoted racial division and the dangerous ideology of eugenics, is it wrong to draw a line connecting them all together? Who are the Clintons.... really?
