  1ReAd2: books, comics etc etc — Authority: 107
  George Orwell’s fable adapted as a cartoon. The film as in all adaptations differ, for good and bad, from the story of George Orwell. Once critic at the time said that Orwell would not have been pleased with the altered ending. I would agree. There are also stories about how this animation was partly funded by the ...

• The Federal Reserve is fundamentally a scam, run by big international and foreign banksters.

  
  InvestmentWatch — Authority: 155
  They have monetary diarrhea because it benefits the big banks, right at this moment, to have that. The actions of the Fed have absolutely NOTHING to do with the best interest of the people of the U.S.A., or, for that matter, small to medium sized financial institutions. It is all about the big international casino ...

  Barack Obama, the Obama camp and the Democrat Party continue to attack Sarah Palin. They are openly, flagrantly, requesting donations to continue their Orwellian attacks on Palin.

  Hemmings Auto Blogs — Authority: 526
  * Jeep never made a stepside CJ-based pickup, correct. The Scrambler was a fleetside, unibody (that is, cab and bed were integrated, not body and frame) pickup.
