What was one of the first things Ryan did after Romney announced that Ryan was his running mate? Ryan visited casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson in Las Vegas, who's ramping up funds like mad to send The Mittens Twins to the White House.
What do reporters have to say about this? Reporters were not allowed. That isn't surprising, since there are many federal investigations looking into Adelson's wealth.
Adelson is a hot button for disaster, the New York Times asserts, as Adelson has stated he will spend $100 million in a super PAC to get the Mittens Twins elected.
Romney is putting his money where his mouth is, as he said months back after the announcement that a corporation is now a person; "Corporations are people, my friend.'"
But why Adelson?
Adelson is no stranger to shady deals or to controversy. Why would the Mittens Twins be hanging with this guy? Adelson is under investigation from the Justice Department and the SEC for possible allegations of federal violations and allegations that he bribed Chinese officials when he was expanding his casino empire in Macao, the former Portuguese colony next to Hong Kong.
Adelson's company has been fined $1.6 million for violating foreign exchange rules, The Times reported on Monday.
That's not all. The Sands Casino, part of the Sands Corporation might have violated money-laundering laws when it accepted millions from high rollers who've been accused of drug trafficking and embezzlement.
Remember who started Las Vegas? The Mafia was an early funder of casinos, although not the first funders of casinos. Nevada was the last state to outlaw gambling in 1910 and then started its first casino in 1931.
Casinos were family run at that time, which was when Boulder Dam, was renamed Hoover Dam during the Truman administration was being built. Legal prostitution existed in Las Vegas in the 1930s and casinos had early involvement with organized crime, which took a turn for big time when noted mobster Bugsy Siegel built The Flamingo in 1946.
Earlier hotels were funded by Mormon families, but the pressure from organized crime was great and running casinos was a big-money operation and family-owned businesses could not afford to keep up. Mormon bankers and The Teamsters built the famous casinos of the 1950s and 1960s.
A Senate Special Committee to Investigate Crime in Interstate Commerce in 1951 confirmed that organized crime money and activity was controlling Las Vegas.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that the feds are looking into whether or not the casino should have reported all this muddy water money to the Feds. The casino accepted $100 million from a gambler and gave him free rooms, flights and credit.
Remember Tricky Dick and Watergate? Enter The Mittens Twins and Casino Gate.
Adelson has a long record of dirty hand business and The Mittens Twins are now steeped deeply in this dirty hand business.
Nothing like walking from the frying pan into the fire, in a room full of dirty, dirty water. We will use the water, dirty though it is to put out those flames.

Could you give a link to that since it's so sensational, and I thought it was Bugsy Siegel (I saw the movie LOL). And the TEAMSTERS may have been controlled by the same mafia as controlled Las Vegas, but that doesn't mean the TEAMSTERS did it themselves...
Linking "Mormon" with "mafia" is VERY new to me...
Moi aussi!
Mormon bankers and The Teamsters built the famous casinos of the 1950s and 1960s - link is the link in blue with Bugsy's name in it.
There's a lot to read there but it is a very interesting history, and fascinating to read all about - the whole history of that area!
If you lived in the same street as Mitt the ... oops, I'm being too British for Gather again, perhaps you can answer this for me: Is it true he has to wear his underpants outside his trousers to ward off evil.
So, gentiles, (nonLDS) the likes of you and me. Good luck being saved in the End Times. We don't wear the magic underwear!
Further BTW what you mention above is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Have you taken a look the issues in Macau (also reported recently in the NYT).
Interface Group OMG YES OMG We had BOOKED our honeymoon through them in Europe. But guess what happened in 86. Terrorism. They canceled it. We went to the Yucatan. I did not like those people.
And Comdex. Yeah. I had done something with Comdex a couple of years before. Not liking that experience, either.

He claimed that the Democratic and Republican Parties were infiltrated by the Communist Party, and he supported Mussolini's suppression of communists. He wrote that "The colored man looms large in the Communist plan to take over America," and that "Welfare was a secret plot to attract rural blacks to cities, where they would foment a vicious race war."
Birch was a nutcase and a half. We were not allowed to buy Welch's products nor Ross cat food.
Crazy guy he was.
The Armenian society took over the building the Birchers were in and THEN THE LOCAL MORMONS TOOK OVER THE BUILDING. YIKES. It all makes sense. A crazy plot.
I never was a member of the JBS...but my wife's father was a co-ordinator for years. He passed some good information along to me. Ironically, if you read their info...you might agree with it. I have some disagreements with them, for one thing they don't think we should be involved in this middle-eastern war.
Zealots of any brand whether religious or political go to the extremes and over the edge. As for martyrdom is not what I would call what happened to Birch, his hot head from what I have read got him killed over an argument with a Chinese Communist over giving up his gun. If he had given it up more than likely he would have lived way longer than he did as the rest of the group though detained were allowed to go their way later.
And as you might see I don't agree with them.
:O\
about why I feel this way. Thank you for the info..........
Great post!
Thank you for trying.
Thank you submitting to Gathers Luminous Writers and Artists.
(Of course we should not move away from KEO's discussion)
I will just express curiosity at your claim that you know a lot of personal stuff about the Romneys. Maybe e-mail me with a few juicy tidbits?
1.
And then he'd have secret service-type people that he hired - he was the only governor to do so - and if you dared speak to him on the street these goons would come right up and hoist you away, It was nothing more than a HIGHLY inflated sense of MASSIVE EGO.
And then he was a witness in a divorce trial (I read the deposition) regarding a famous office supply store, with whom he was friend's with the founder and he and the founder deliberately lied about the probable stock price of store on the upcoming IPO, lowering it drastically, like by about 2/3 from all the analyst predictions, just so his friend wouldn't have to pay much alimony. The friend could afford millions. The wife got little. The stock price soared 3 times to what he and the founder had sworn under oath to just a couple of weeks prior.
He is a liar and a mean person. He is not trustworthy and he is a bad person.
He is out for himself. Period.
I pity his wife. With MS. MS comes from stress.
As a professional homosexualist, I already know he is mean on that basis alone.
Great schools, though. And the LDS church has a ward here and the Boston Temple, so that is why a lot of LDS settle here ( I am from Utah and 150 years of all that but my parents left the LDS church : whew!
Some town info and lovely photos. I like half the people here. (Not the townies).

Political articles become very heated...
Yes, they do get heated. Everyone is passionate regarding beliefs - if only some of that passion could be spent doing something productive....
We don't have to listen to their crap for another 4 years.
