NEWSWEEK'S One key question: Who has been ghostwriting the Facebook messages and op-eds signed in Palin’s name?

"According to Politico’s Ben Smith, former McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann accompanied Palin to Hong Kong and helped write the speech." (Steve Biegun, Dan Blumenthal, Kim Daniels)

Who Is Advising Sarah Palin?
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 5:43 PM

excerpt:
In the nasty aftermath of the McCain-Palin ticket, Palin broke with many of the advisers she had worked with in the final days of the campaign. She went back to Alaska, surrounded by her longtime political team, including chief spokeswoman and top adviser Meg Stapleton and Kristan Cole, who helped Palin launch a legal defense fund to cover costs related to several ethics investigations in Alaska. In January, Palin launched a new political action committee, SarahPAC—a move widely interpreted as an effort to help forward her political ambitions. Between January and June, the PAC raised more than $730,000—with almost $270,000 of that going to staff and consulting fees. Palin hired Pam Pryor, a GOP operative who once worked for former representative J.C. Watts, as an adviser. In February, she also tapped Becki Donatelli, a longtime GOP consultant close to McCain, to run SarahPAC, but the two severed the relationship in April. Donatelli declined to comment and, like Pryor, directed all questions to Stapleton, who did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Right after the August 7 to 8 attack on South Ossetia the President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili was shocked he didn't get any back up from the US. He soon changed his tune, but it was clear he thought he had a reason to believe if he attacked the de facto Russian territory of South Ossetia and the Russian soldiers that he would not be alone. Who was feeding him that bull and why didn't they keep their word?

This was major because it has to do with missile shields, NATO, Israel and possible nuclear bombs going off.

We know John McCain gave us the delusional blithering Sarah Palin and he must be held accountable for his desperate attempt to win an election. What else would he do to win? Cindy McCain would not have needed to go to The Republic of Georgia with aid and soothing for Saakashvili if he hadn't been led to believe he should attack at that time, coincidentally, US elections were is process. The European Union report is better than nothing but it is only telling part of the story. (Why Is Cindy McCain Going To Georgia?)

McCain had a falling out with his adviser Randy Scheunemann, what all was that about? Whatever it was, it doesn't bother Sarah Palin because she is in bed with Scheunemann now.

The current report settles who started the So. Ossetia attack.
Report: Georgia Triggered War With Russia
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
"For Moscow, the report's finding on who shot first is a significant victory, one that's likely to undermine efforts by Georgia President Mikheil Saakashvili to rally Western support behind him."

"The report notes that the United States, Ukraine and Israel supplied large scale economic and military aid to Georgia that allowed the country to double its military in the space of a few years."

BRUSSELS--A nine-month European Union investigation into the 2008 war in the Caucasus has concluded that Georgia triggered the conflict, but that Russia prepared the ground for war to break out and broke international law by invading Georgia as a whole.

Conclusions to the roughly 1,000 page report, released on Wednesday by Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, also found that Russia-backed South Ossetian militias committed atrocities and "ethnic cleansing" of Georgian villages during and since the war. It faulted Russian forces in control of the territory that either "would not or could not" control the South Ossetians.

The report found no evidence to back Russian claims that Georgia committed genocide on the night of Aug.7-8.

The conflict, which briefly brought the United States and Russia into Cold War-style confrontation, left some 850 people dead, 35,000 permanently displaced and Europe's security infrastructure severely weakened. Russian forces remain in occupation of the two territories, while Moscow has recognized them as independent states.

John "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" McCain and Scheunemann finger prints were all over the Republic of Georgia and Mikheil Saakashvili, the rogue crook who thought he had the back up to take on Russia in South Ossetia. That's not all, they sent Cindy McCain, looking like White House material, on a sudden humanitarian stint.

"Cindy McCain, the wife of Sen. John McCain, flew Monday evening to the Republic of Georgia, where a military confrontation with Russia over disputed territory has become an issue on the presidential campaign trail."
August 26, 2008

"She's on the phone with the World Food Program, he's on the phone with Saakashvili," McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace told Time. "It's like this great picture of what they'll be like in the White House."

Track Palin, Ms. Maples would like you to join her for dinner.

MSNBC video interview with Cathy Maples:

She was asked who she would like to attend the $63,500 dinner, her answer was Track Palin. She likes that he was in Iraq. Her grand children will be there and you can imagine the delight it would be for her family to meet him.

The woman must have money to burn. She wanted to help Ride2Recovery. Instead of directly sending them a check she participated in what looks like a rigged publicity stunt. The more people involved, the more money taken out of what goes to the wounded warriors and veterans.

Is it any wonder people would question if she is some kind of a corporate puppet that works the system?

She is a piece of work. No one asked her why she couldn't just say she met Todd and Sarah at the Fairbanks picnic like the other Palintologists. It isn't a direct lie, more like one of omission. Why hide her meetings unless she has something to hide? Adrienne Ross has been shouting it from the roof tops that she was in Alaska for the quitting series. Not Ms. Maples. She is now hiding and ashamed she was at a celebration with all the others.

Shame, shame, shame on you, Ms. Maples!
You are a disgrace.

We know because she gave The Huntsville Times a photo of herself with Sarah Palin, Sarah wearing the same clothes she had on before her final quitters speech in Fairbanks. It looks like it could have been taken in any parking lot. However, there is no way Sarah is that fast of a quick change artist, she did not rush to Anchorage and back before handing off the State of Alaska to Governor Parnell.

After blowing smoke in numerous interviews Ms. Maples finally claimed she met Todd and Sarah at the Anchorage airport, it is clear they had another rendezvous.
What a rendezvous, it was at a major happening for all of Sarah's main team players. They came from all over the country.


She is one more snake in the grass war profiteer that lives off of those she helps to wound and kill on the battlefield so she can give money to charity to fix them. It is good for business.

When Maples talks she remembers the talking points like special interest groups and you betcha she won't forget to say Acorn. She doesn't believe Sarah Palin lies to get votes and Maples remembers to plug the speech, free from media, in Hong Kong.

The Palination is seeing gotcha media in this video. Go figure.

Organizers say the winner will have to foot the travel bill to meet up with Palin, likely in Alaska. Maples says that's no problem.

Track Palin returns in time for dinner with Cathy Maples..UPDATE

Ms. Cathy Maples is the high bidder and winner of the Free Shipping and Alabama dinner with Sarah Palin, can you imagine the glee if not only Sarah shows up but Track Palin as well? Can you spell photo op, or is Ms. Maples camera shy like the new Sarah?

Ms. Maples is the owner of R&D Electronics Inc and friends of Lockheed Martin. (didn't Palin call on Dick before her quitter speech?) If the following comments are the same Cathy Maples, she and the Palins will hit it off big time:

Cathy Maples
Obama-Biden are a joke. He does not have any idea about how to be Commander in Cheif.
(not my typo)

If he would go into private and run a business for a few years he would give him some
insight concerning taxes. If elected I am afraid we will have a depression. Most people
don't study the economy and the effects his policy will have on the U.S. they vote because
of personality. #464 - Tue Sep 9, 2008

Cathy Maples
I think McCain and Palin were great. I am proud to be an American and it is obvious John McCain is

too, (although this is the first time some people are proud to be an American) I do not want a leader
for this country that his wife does not appreciate being an American. I respect McCain and Palin for
their morals and the fact they don't compromise them even if it is unpopular. I wish the people of America would invite God back to our country before it is to late. I don't want to sit under a President
that thinks I am bitter because I believe in God. #337 - Fri Sep 5, 2008

"I thought it was an extremely good cause, and also I'm a big advocate for Sarah Palin. I think she has a lot of morals, and I would love to see her as president of our country," Maples told The Associated Press.

Seven people placed 61 bids over the 10-day run of the auction, which had a minimum bid of $25,000. Maples will have to foot the bill to meet up with Palin for dinner, likely in Alaska.

Palin dinner offered on eBay brings in $63,500 for charity
Last Modified: September 19th, 2009

Maples has met Palin twice before, once at a fundraiser in North Carolina during last year's presidential campaign. The other meeting was in Alaska last summer, shortly before Palin left office.

"I've been to Alaska about three times, and the last time I came I bought my grandchildren up, and I tried to make sure my they got to meet her, and they did," she said of the brief meeting at an airport.

"She was a very gracious person, and we enjoyed it," Maples said.

Seven people placed 61 bids over the 10-day run of the auction, which had a minimum bid of $25,000. Maples will have to foot the bill to meet up with Palin for dinner, likely in Alaska. She wouldn't have any problems making another trip north. "I love Alaska," she said.

Other auction items for the charity included lunch with former Bush aide Karl Rove (which went for $16,000), a "CSI: New York" set experience and party with star Gary Sinise ($4,150), and a Rob ( Rob Lowe has been playing with young beauties since the 1980s)
Lowe-autographed baseball jersey ($620).

Maples is allowed to bring four people to dinner. She says the plan right now is to bring her two grandchildren, 13 and 18 years old, their mother and the 18-year-old's girlfriend.

The auction had regulations for the winner, including passing a background check.

"Will not be a problem," Maples said.


More Maples, 53, of Huntsville: Local will dine with Palin

The dinner, which is still to be arranged, will be the third time Maples has met Palin. The first time was at a fundraiser in North Carolina during the presidential campaign. The second time was this July in Alaska.

Maples took her grandson, York Powell, on a trip as a high school graduation present, along with his mom, Michelle Powell, younger brother, Camden, and friends Maggie Thompson and Jordan Price.

The group fished, took a cruise around Prince William Sound and went dog-sled mushing. The highlight of the trip, however, was meeting Palin and her husband, Todd.

Maples, who said "persistent is something they say about me," made several phone calls trying to see Palin. Finally, Todd Palin himself called her to coordinate the meeting, which came just after Palin announced she was resigning as governor.

The couple spent about 15 minutes with Maples' group at the Anchorage airport, and Palin posed for pictures with everyone.

Secrets: Ambassador Bristol Palin contemplates abstinence-only in Wasilla as teen birth rates heighten in religious states

U.S. states whose residents have more conservative religious beliefs on average tend to have higher rates of teenagers giving birth, a new study suggests.

The relationship could be due to the fact that communities with such religious beliefs (a literal interpretation of the Bible, for instance) may frown upon contraception, researchers say. If that same culture isn't successfully discouraging teen sex, the pregnancy and birth rates rise.

Mississippi topped the list for conservative religious beliefs and teen birth rates, according to the study results, which will be detailed in a forthcoming issue of the journal Reproductive Health. (See chart) Teen Birth Rates Highest In Most Religious States

Wasilla, Alaska
excerpts..
Pat O'Hara, a journalist who served on the Wasilla school board for twelve years, remembers how the religious right made her feel like a stranger in her own community.

The Valley, Alaska's fastest-growing region, is a spectacular area of lakes and birch and spruce forests, surrounded by granite-colored snowcapped mountains that poke through the clouds.

It wasn't until the 1990s that local churches like the Wasilla Assembly of God, which Palin grew up attending, became aggressively political.

A few years before Palin became mayor, a group of preachers confronted the school board with questions about social issues that had never before surfaced in local politics, according to O'Hara, who wrote first for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman and then for the Anchorage Daily News.
