Generational Theft Act Not Designed to Bring Recovery

They've been hinting at this for several days, but apparently it's now "official." The $787 Billion "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" (AARA) was not designed for full economic recovery, but rather to "stabilize" the downturn. That's the word from White House officials today, who held off-camera briefings with reporters.

What I want to know is, if it wasn't meant to stimulate economic recovery, why is it called the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act"? And why is the website called recovery.gov?

FBI Was Ordered to "Back-Off" Anti-Terror Investigations

Here's a little something you won't find in the MainStreamMedia. In fact, I've seen very little comment on it from the blogosphere.

Apparently the FBI had been looking at the murderer of the U.S. soldiers in Little Rock Arkansas several months ago. William Long was killed and a second soldier injured by Carlos Leon "Corey" Bledsoe Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad. But U.S. counterterror teams may have been intentionally prevented from investigating this guy by the White House.

Several weeks ago, sources were told that the FBI and other law enforcement organizations had been ordered to "back off" of counterterrorism investigations into the activities of Black Muslim converts. The investigations were cancelled for purely political reasons. 

Many FBI supervisors are reluctant to authorize investigations they believe may have negative blow back on their career advancement.  According to one source, "It would not be at all surprising to us if a supervisor refused to authorize a full-field investigation of Muhammad that would have included surveillance of his activities... Had the FBI opened a full-field investigation on Muhammad, and had it conducted the surveillance on him, it would have been able to watch him participate in preoperational activities such as conducting surveillance of potential targets and obtaining weapons."

This makes the silence from the White House on this incident even louder.
