Madeleine Albright Book Signing
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
12:30 PM
Discussion & book signing by author and former Secretery of State, Madeleine Albright for “Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat's Jewel Box (Borders, 150 N. State St. Chicago)
The story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. A unique celebration of the pin or brooch as a means of personal and diplomatic expression, seen through the extraordinary life and career of one of the world’s most admired women.
Read My Pins features a gallery of fascinating photographs, showing both the Madeleine Albright collection and Secretary Madeleine Albright wearing the pins at history-making events; the images of more than 200 pins, some elegant, many playful, are included. To be published in conjunction with an exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York.
Madeleine Albright was the first female Secretary of State of the United States and, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in U.S. history. Like most women, she had occasionally worn pins before entering public service, but it was when she took office as America’s Ambassador to the United Nations, and then as Secretary of State, that she came to understand how powerful a symbol a simple piece of jewelry could be. When she wore a snake pin after Saddam Husssein’s press called her a serpent, and then a pin of a doomed bird after Cuban-American pilots were shot down in international waters, the world’s press took notice, showing that while the pin is an expression of femininity and fashion, it can also be a badge of individuality, a vibrant and witty vehicle for telling a story, and can be a diplomatic tool for delivering messages to world leaders, politicians, the public, and beyond.

Madeilene Albright has been seen driving a car into the Bilderberg meeting in 2008. We have video on you tube. She is a New World Order minion. Def: a favorite, esp. one who is a servile follower; term of contempt...a subordinate official. These people are front people who carry out their eugenisist masters' orders to cull the world population. That includes you. They want you dead. Makes Hitler look like a nursery school kid.

True infidelgranny. The Word says: "Speak the truth in love". This group of reptilian-led drone slaves to the New World Order sleezy agenda find it easy to lie to us-right in our face. They are utterly cocky, and getting moreso every day. Little do they know that when "The Truth" reveals "HIMSELF" through "The manifeststion of the Sons and Daughters of God" they're days are "numbered". So, "go ahead you sorry excuses for real humans", the truth has been let out of the bag by such patriots as Alex Jones and Ron Paul-see: "Fall of the Republic" Alex Jones. And how dare you, madam, speak of my Lord, about religion, when you condone the genocide of THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqi children? Do you have children? Do YOU know what it"s like yo loose a child? well-do you??? You and your Owl-worshipping sleezeballs have arrived at the "time of your demise". Did I already say "your days are numbered?". I'll say it again:"your days are numbered". NOW the Sons and Daughters of God are in your face.
