The August Review

Zbigniew Brzezinski states that if Israel were to launch a preemptive attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the U.S. should intercept their planes over Iraq and shoot them down if they refuse to turn back."We are not exactly impotent little babies," he says.

John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV, appearing on Bottom Line with George Stephanopoulos, insists that health care without the "public option" is useless, and he will not vote for it.

With Uncle David (Rockefeller) well into his 80's, Jay Rockefeller is the heir apparent to the political power wielded by the Rockefeller family. He is also a key member of the Trilateral Commission that was co-founded by his uncle in 1973. 

With Obama pursuing a decidedly Marxist revolution in the U.S., why would Trilateral members be so supportive of his policies? Because they have espoused a Marxist philosophy for the last 35 years!

Sen. Jay Rockefeller Dumps on Baucus' Bill

Following up on his This Week appearance where he promised to fight on for the public option, Sen. Jay Rockefeller blasted the draft bill produced by Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus: “there is no way in its present form that I vote for it unless it changes in the amendment process by vast amounts.”

He’s not alone.  Fellow Finance Committee member Ron Wyden is livid too.  Expect a rocky mark-up next week.  As one top Democrat told me, the fundamental problem is that Democrats “are being asked to support a bipartisan bill that doesn’t have bipartisan support.”  The compromise without the cover.

Meanwhile, Republican Olympia Snowe's office just told me that the Senator is not ready to sign on to the Baucus draft. He will introduce it tomorrow without her support. But Snowe intends to keep negotiating and working with Baucus through the mark-up next week.

Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a special caucus on Thursday for Democrats to discuss the Baucus bill.  Should be lively.

Former president of Ireland, U.N. High Commissioner and Trilateral Commission member Mary Robinson is to be an honored recipient of the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor that can be bestowed by a U.S. president, thus continuing Obama's open affair with the global elite.

Even before the end of inauguration month, President Obama has appointed eleven Trilateral Commission members to the most important government positions. This is a continuation of the Trilateral hegemony started in 1976 with the election of Commission vassal James Earl Carter.
