The Real Agenda: A Massive Transfer of Wealth
The Transfer Of Power From The Hands Of The Many To The Hands Of The FewIn 1942, German intelligence officers rounded up skilled Jewish prisoners and launched Operation Bernhardt, a clever scheme designed to counterfeit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of British Pounds and destroy the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit money.

Tampa's WFLA Feeds The Propaganda
On Tampa Bay's NBC's WFLA affiliate, Keith Cate's interview of Sarah Palin on Monday, Oct. 6, was quite disappointing. Keith referred to it as a "candid interview", but by no means was it "candid", however I can see why it's an "exclusive interview", while the rest of the news media is being shunned and kept away from Sarah Palin........here
