National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and What I Really Think It's All About

By Nicholas Contompasis

Why, why, why, why, why now!!!! Why now, does our Congress and our President sign into law the authority to give our military authority to apprehend, detain and execute American citizens without due process. Well, I think I know why!!!
Ever since the President quietly signed the bill while on his lengthy and mysterious Hawaiian Christmas vacation, Ive been wondering why a Republican controlled congress would go along with such mischief.
Yes, they changed the wording to include any individual or U.S. citizen who is involved with al-Qaeda or any affiliated terrorist group, but it seemed so bazaar it would be happening now.
As a loyal and vocal Tea Party member, I've felt it my duty to analyze and distribute my opinions about this Administration's unusual dealings.
At first, my knee jerk reaction was to think that Obama was out to get the dedicated patriots who have stopped his agenda dead in it's tracks. But, as I combined the events occurring around the world into a stew of international intrigue I came to realize that our country is preparing for a massive homeland assault.
Who would do such a thing and for what reason, China, North Korea, Venezuela? Than it hit me, Iran. But of course, after all of the saber rattling that's been going on between the U.S., Israel and Iran it makes sense.
From past information taken from 60 Minutes Iran supposedly has approximately 40,000 members of Hezbollah living here in the United States. It's been long feared that if any action was taken against Iran, the mulla's would unleash this silent army of terrorists on America's quiet neighborhoods and commercial areas spreading terror.
It appears that based on my theory that the passing of the NDAA with this new language implying domestic terrorist activity, we will be attacking Iran soon.
If all of this is correct it seems our government is expecting a long and protracted domestic struggle with these operatives who have most likely lived here all their lives and are U.S. citizens. That explains the U.S. citizen part of the Act, we will be at war with a shadowy enemy who knows everything about us because they are us.
End of Article

I'll tell you 'why' the points you make are left out of 'coverage.'

"Perception" and precedence.

We all know that the government has redefined many things. In most legislation a "definitions" page is part of the document. This is where common words are redefined for the purpose of context.

B.J.Clinton removed all pretense from his perjury impeachment trial when he blatantly and contemptuously testified that the definition of 'truth' depends on what the definition of "IS" is. Look up that definition. For such a simple word it has profound impact on the english language.

Last month U.S. DOJ Attorney General Eric Holder while under oath testifying before congress responded when asked if he was lying about his knowledge of and involvement in 'Fast and Furious': "lying "IS" a state of mind."

Any other person in the nation would have been in contempt of Congress for such a response. Congress accepted his answer.

Last week I read an article from the EPA that stated U.S. air quality was the worst in the world and compared it to a Chinese city that is #2 in the world for poor air quality. No science. No data. Nothing but the name of the article to hint at the bizarre conclusions. I don't recall the EXACT title, but the last word was: Perception.

If lying "IS" a state of mind, then a 'perception' IS" that state of mind.

My point "IS", that relativism has now reached a status in the common lexicon that enables an entirely new landscape in the common understanding of everyday communication in the common language. I offer up the discredited individual principles of Morality, Ethics, Honor, Integrity and Character as proof of my conclusions.

All of the a fore mentioned previously virtuous principles of an individual today are laid bare via the sword wielded by irresponsible and unaccountable communication. MSM.
The Pen, is mightier than the sword.

In a venue where fact is supposition and evidence is opinion and science is hyperbole truth itself becomes indistinguishable from dream, delusion or fantasy. Perception becomes the new truth.

Government can and has redefined the common lexicon in the false arena of congressional inquiry of truth. Words, no longer hold the same meaning you (or I) commonly believe they do. And the evidence I have offered up "IS" more than sufficient when taken in the context of current government action from both sides of party division.

I could go on here, but the point has been submitted with adequate evidence.

Decline of Civilization

2012-01-01T11:55:00.000-08:00

Recent events this year have brought to the fore front the paradox of civilized human existentialism and confused ideological theologies based in the very foundations of existence.

Whether or not you have a faith in the God of Christianity or the God of nature and her laws or not, certain basic tenants of life do exist and can not be ignored.

I have used this site before (http://www.ourcivilisation.com/study.htm) as a resource for certain understanding of human behavior and our society. It's a very good resource.

Civilization exists only because it has been forced upon the peoples who choose to benefit from its existence. By forced, I mean genocidal force. And the people who benefit from 'society' are tasked with making the sacrifices necessary to retain their grip on their culture. That being the generally accepted behavior of members of that society.

In order to retain that social structure a given civilization must exert a commonality outward into the people through history, education, reason and logic. All of the great civilizations had to do it. We've had to do it.

As we have rebuilt into our present contemporary civilizations it is only natural to consider the eternal questions of mans existence. Every civilization has done this to cope with the nagging questions of their own place in the hierarchy of advancement, now referred to as 'evolution.'

It's clear that past civilizations have been greatly advanced in ways that make our present achievements seem like a brute force effort to ignore nature.

For example the Aztecs, Mayans or Egyptians all seemed capable of tremendous feats of manipulation of natural materials that today would still be nearly impossible to achieve. (http://www.gizapower.com/Anotherrobot.htm) and (http://www.gizapower.com/) are recent ideas for some of the newer conclusions.

Yet, those cultures and their skills, tools, capabilities, knowledge are lost. Completely. As though they just up and left. Leaving no trace behind, other than the infrastructure they constructed.

The question as to what happened to them is itself one of questionable conclusion. But there are certain things we can say without question.

They were undeniably powerful. And equally brutal. But they functioned as a society for many many thousands of years, in most instances. And so must have been good places to live in, for those who assimilated into the society.

Rise up against it, and you take your chances. And those chances weren't that good.

Did those peoples begin to get soft, intellectually? Like the Romans, who finally allowed the Goths to enter their society under the guise of 'tolerance' and slowly, over time the empire fell apart as 'convictions' became muddied and unclear, generally?
Eventually allowing their culture to include meaningless drivel and amorality so as to permit people to feel good about themselves and what they had created.

It has been said that a people divided can not stand. Then it must equally be that a culture divided against itself can not stand either.

To not insist on assimilation of "immigrating" peoples into the popular culture is to insist on the death of that society, since a culture "IS" it's society and the diffusion of culture is the beginning of the end for that culture.

Today we are told that America has no culture of its own. That due to our diversity we have always had a 'multi-cultural' society.

That is a lie. Historically, people came to America for the sole and specific purpose of becoming 'American.' From the earliest settlers to the most post modern mass 'legal immigrations' the intent of the people was to become American.

I do not deny that enclaves of subcultures existed and had and still do have intercultural conflicts among themselves. Birds of a feather do tend to flock together. But generally speaking all wanted to become Americans and all took an oath to those ends.

Today, our government literally imports peoples from every culture in the world and asks them to retain their cultural ties and no longer insists they take an oath of allegiance, as it is against certain cultures to do so. For instance, sharia. That is a policy of certain self destruction.

All, it seems, wish to remain hyphenated, culturally. Black-american, Hispanic-american, African-american. Virtually creating a subculture where none previously existed. Kwanza and festivus are literally fabricated from thin air.

In the name of "can't we a just get along", usually from members within a society who can't stomach the idea of their own personal sacrifice for the greater good, we hear calls for the rest of us to sacrifice for them.

Whether it's blood, money, butter, shelter or some intrinsic human need for a selfish feeling they need to have fulfilled, it's not their calling to 'contribute.'

But since we have established a policy that we will carry those unwilling to contribute we suddenly find ourselves up to our hips in sack cloth and ashes and calls for 'compassion' and 'charity', but only in the spirit of giving. Not as a result of some Godly calling.

There is one culture in our contemporary midst that has not relinquished its desire for despotic totalitarian "civilization" and that is islam.

It could be argued that China also fits this bill, but its pursuit of that goal is distinctly more subtle than that of islam and it hasn't made public statements to the end that it intends to dominate the world.

Equally interesting is the 'tolerance' the "can't we all just get along" crowd displays for islamic claims it has a godly basis for its goal of global tyranny. Yet they have zero tolerance for Christianity and its claims that God requires us to fight evil.

And there, I believe, lies the crux of the biscuit. The liberal crowd won't fight for anything except 'free' stuff that others must provide for them. And that fight is only in the form of whining, sniveling, crying and protesting. Also, they claim to be in active action to collapse the popular culture.

Frankly, it is pretty clear that the symptoms indicate a decline in our civilization. Whether or not that will result in a collapse is not so clear. But the evidence is mounting. And so are the global indicators.

Did the afore mentioned cultures disappear virtually over night as they came apart at the seams due to a lack of will to maintain their own cultures? Or did they just slowly fade into non existence for some other reason?

There is no telling for those cultures. However the Roman empire leaves us a legacy, as does the islamic empire, the Moorish and persian empires, the crusades and other historical events where the intent was to conquer the world and erase all other cultures from existence, again.

Civilization depends on the people of those societies to maintain their cultures intact and to do so with the effective use of violence. To entertain the idea of a one world government without such natural separation is to suborn global catastrophe. To deny these facts is to proclaim acquiescence to the would be victor.

How come government won't work?

2011-12-21T12:25:00.000-08:00

Dear Reader, this "IS" the real question before us in these recent years.

Place yourself into the slimy shoes of your favorite politician, for few moments.

You have struggled with the decision to take the leap and run for a government office. Now, you are fed up. You are angry and hopeful. Convinced, you can make a difference Americans and the people of your community will be proud of.

You make a paltry $56,000.00 a year in your job within your local community.

You have tested the waters, filled out the miles of paperwork to enter the race. You have paid the 'fees' and you are building a 'business' of resources to help you track, construct and document your platform.

Donations are beginning to flow in. Slow at first and then more and more. This may just pan out.

You're presence is requested by the local press, and local popular groups at first. Then radio and finally TV.
Then the national stage begins to beckon you. They inquire about your positions on every manor of issue and non issue. They test your patience. Your resourcefulness and your ability to articulate under pressure.

You pass. Now, money is really coming in. And you pass benchmarks that convince you that you were correct to enter the 'contest.' You have garnered some influence. Now, you need to parlay that into more money and that into power, if you really expect to win.

Your team of resources bring you all manor of information on your competition in the strategic hope of weakening your opponents posture against yours.

As the game plays out you continue to gain support, influence, money and power. You are constantly reminded that you 'really' are in the running. You are good. Or great.

Ego builds as a function of the big 3: Influence; Money and Power.

Then, it happens. You win. You are golden. You are making $189,000.00 a year. You arrive in D.C. for the Freshman indoctrination. You are told where the cafeteria is, you get a key to the washroom. You get a 24 carat gold plated shaving mug with your name on it in the congressional barber shop.

You are sent to seminars on protocol and a copy 'Roberts Rules of Order' finds its way into your hands.

Along with the point that "if you came here to change things to your idea of what D.C. 'should' be, you had better think again."
"You support and you get support. It's that easy." You are told. Step out of line, and you will be crushed. Destroyed. Annihilated. And your family may also suffer from your indiscretions."

Reality begins to set in. You are in the tank with the big fish, now. You don't have the influence, money and power to complete with these guys. Yet.
And so, you begin to play in accordance with their rules. After all, it "IS" their game. And the purpose of a "government of, by and for the People" begins to become dulled by "the way things are," in your perspective.

As they begin to see you settle into the routine a bit you begin to have a bone tossed your way here and there. You think they trust you more and more. The confidence begins to come back. And, slowly, influence begins to build and then you are let in on some of the other 'perks.'

You find that insider trading "IS" just part of the big picture. And that you, as a 'member' have immunity from prosecution and the prying eyes of the regulatory bureaucracy built and implemented by the body of Congress itself.

Wow! Now you are feeling really good about yourself. Things can move pretty fast in 'government' and so you have to get on board with your 'support' in a way that exposes you to being naive on some issues in the eyes of staff, the press and your constituents. All of whom don't 'understand' how things work. And the restrictions placed on you as a 'member' preclude you from discussing them, lest your 'honor' be tainted. Resulting in your growing influence and power diminishing your money which would likely affect your chances of holding onto them. They all go together.

By the end of your first term you have caught onto the way things work. And the struggle to retain your office begins. You have convinced yourself that you still have the best interest of your constituents and your original goals in heart. All you need, is a little more time.

And so you pick up the game quickly. Now, no longer a freshman you move into territory reserved for the Big Boys by the 'good 'ol boy' system. More influence, money and power accompany a move like this. And you have proved yourself part of the 'team.'

Your financial self worth has accumulated to a fairly impressive sum in this short time. Ambitions and ego eat the last of your heart out. Your original goals and your honor 'had to be sacrificed' if you wanted to play the game. And you have played well.

One day (maybe) you realize that you have turned you back on everything you once told yourself you believed in or told others you stood for. Or maybe not. Maybe, you deserve this. Maybe, you were born for this, you tell yourself.

Now, out of touch and self delusional, you are a full bodied member of the 'system.' You tell yourself that politics has no moral or ethical code and individual honor and integrity are passe'. Like a recognizable Senate body member that has been a POW you tell yourself "principles are meaningless" unless they work FOR you.

Loyalty to a corrupted system is all that maters. After all, some one is going to reap the rewards, it might as well be you.

Outside of government constituents and the 'governed' can see the corruption by the results. You have convinced yourself they can't 'know' how it works. And so you carry on in the fashion dictated by the 'system.'

In the end, the corrupted system rusts out the originally very delicate parts of a fragile but potentially great government constructed with great caution and care, by the extremely corrosive nature of avarice, greed, selfishness, lust and disregard for things greater than oneself.

After all, society doesn't deserve what you have 'earned.' (http://www.ourcivilisation.com/public/chap5b.htm)

So, I was wrong about Obama payoffs?

2011-12-16T09:26:00.000-08:00

When Obama began handing out, literally, TONs on our money right after he entered office I was ridiculed, called a racist and in general had names hurled at me from socialist supporters who couldn't properly form entire sentences using reason and logic.

It is a total shame that no one would report the truth until we entered into the election cycle for his reelection. I believe THAT was due to their fear of being labbled racist.

His cronyism has been revealed. Here, http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=377465 and here, http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=377853, for those of you who still doubt me despite almost daily evidence in his behaviors (actions speak louder than words).

These two fact filled articles are but two in the recent news about where and to whom literally hundreds of billions of our tax dollars went.

We know that Goldaman Sachs received a massive infusion of our money. As did AIG. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac are culpable for initiating the crisis through a long running policy of providing what are now described as liars loans loans to people who couldn't pay and had no intentions of doing so. Creating an equity hole so large the entire nation et al began to fall through it.

All done in the name of political correctness and hopes of ingratiating themselves with an ever ballooning population of non citizens allowed to vote in our elections, either rightly or wrongly, no one can seem to interpret the law for election fraud, apparently it is one of the most complicated and unclear laws in all of American history, providing them (socialists) with electoral victory.

Of course, at the expense of the American people.

Barney Frank Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines and others are all guilty of, at the very least, subversion, fraud, grand theft, perjury and a litany of white collar crimes so long to include them here would be prohibitive. Suffice it to say that Bernie Maddoff looks like a choir boy of unstained character next to them, IMHBLO.

But our nations leadership in a display of compassion for the appearance of our nations 'health' of government have determined behind the scenes to ignore the facts.
Which would likely lead to the full disclosure of the full impact of their own insider trading history, also recently revealed. Virtually toppling our government under the weight of its own malfeasance and treasonous acts against America and Americans. Not to mention what it has done the economy of the rest of the planet.

Jon Corzine, former governor of New Jersey bankrupted his state and as CEO of MF Global took money from the U.S. taxpayers and investors and it "vanished"! (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/super-tense-moment-occurs-when-jon-corzine-is-served-papers-during-his-hearing-recess/) according to him, into thin air!

As the days and weeks pass, I'll continue to update the growing evidence the press is willing to disclose as best I can, here. We haven't seen the last of these disclosures. America has been robbed and is being robbed as I write this. I can't just sit here and be screwed by my government and pay them to do it.

Cut Foreign Aid?

2011-12-13T17:50:00.000-08:00

In a word: YES!

But let's consider ALL of the money we send overseas. And, frankly, I'm not capable of addressing ALL of it. Large amounts are not line items (black).

So, lets consider trade deficits, military bases their funding and support structures in foreign nations, technology transfers, NATO funding, U.N. funding, the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and assorted other instruments our government uses to worm its way into head to head competition with foes it considers as assets or enemies.

Looking at the above list it's easy to dismiss some of these items as non sequitur due to the common belief that they promote world peace.

If you are one of those people, let's begin with a short summary of U.N. accomplishments.
The U.N. has a presence in some of the most volatile regions on earth. And, in theory, their mission is one of the noblest in the history of civilized man.

Why do we not hear of great advancements in peace in these regions?
The U.N. is heavily funded by the U.S., receiving nearly 25% of its budget from the U.S. taxpayer. Not including military support in the form of man power, hardware, food and water and the all important influence.
Not to mention a very large footprint in Manhattan, New York on some very valuable real estate. In a building built using U.S. resources.

In the regions where the U.N. has a presence the U.N. is notorious for abuses of the local population. Sort of a war like behavior is common from their "soldiers."

They murder, rape, pillage and plunder the local populations, who have no weapons. They confiscate food, medicine and water, use and sell children into the global sex trade. But do they defend and protect those under their jurisdictional powers? No. Those are their victims.

The U.N. has some fundamental problems. One is the glaring 900lb gorilla in the room: Cultural differences. Everyone believes cultural differences can be over come with little resistance.
Now, Americans may disregard this, at first. But recently here in America, we have seen the divisiveness cultural differences can create.

It is to laugh! Ha!

Cultural differences are, and have been, the bane of human existence since the first cave man.
One tribe hates the other and attacks them. In America the atheists hate Christians. Socialists hate capitalists and freedom lovers, ad infinitum. Savvy?

NATO was a very decent treaty and has had some victories to its credit, unlike the U.N. Now, where does NATO get its money and hardware to support the infrastructure in place and the goals and policies established as the charter for itself?
I hate to spoil the surprise, but the U.S. military industrial complex subsidizes the nations of NATO with discount "purchases" of military hardware, training and personnel. Also, a functionary of U.S. 'trade deficits.'

Two for one. Just like the U.N.

World War II was a horrible tragedy caused by, you guessed it, cultural differences. The Arian' were culturally 'pure' as a race, in their opinion. And despised all others to their exclusion. But especially, the Jews. Just like the muslims of today.

Since the Marshal Plan American tax payers have funded western europe in multiple ways, besides the Marshal Plan itself.

Not only did we pull Europe' ass out of nothing less than a meat grinder for a 2nd time, we paid to rebuild them. Today, we are held in open contempt by nearly every european nation. And in hidden contempt by the rest.

We retained forces in Europe in strategic locations as a 'quick response' to potential Soviet aggression. From that insecurity NATO was born. Whether that fear was fostered or not is irrelevant. We still pay.

Those troops need a base. They need pay. They need equipment to support their mission. They need local support to provide portions of food, water and other resources. Those troops support the local economy by spending locally. And you can bet your bottom dollar, it comes at a premium to the U.S. taxpayer that saved their asses.

Technology transfers have immeasurably hurt America and our economy. Lets forget the devastating impact G. Bush Sr. and B.J.Clinton have had on our technology superiority globally. But how can we?

George Bush the senior designated China "most favored nation" trading status during his administration. That after being a CIA operative located inside China.

B.J.Clinton made arrangements to transfer restricted technology after he "accidentally" bombing the Chinese embassy in Serbia during his war. To this day we continue to leak technology to China as though it were legal. Much as we do to Iran, thank you GE.

Economies of western europe have been failing fiscally after the EU creation. The EU was ill conceived from the beginning. Making one wonder if economics is really voodoo or being manipulated.
IMHBLO, (In My Humble But Lovable Opinion), the EU was created by imbeciles. That is, if it wasn't created with a purpose in mind.

EU nations were encouraged to retain their sovereign fiscal policies. ??!?

The EU was created to provide economic salvation for failing and non competitive sovereign economies as trading partners in the global markets during highly competitive economic conditions. The IMF and World Bank were created to provide additional solvency to non liquid economies, primary among them the non competitive EU nations by extending them credit. The exact opposite of the required discipline.

Today, the EU faces insolvency. And it will not be able to recover. It was constructed under the exact opposite of the economic principles of common fiscal disciple. Nations of the EU retained their sovereign fiscal regulations and accounting practices. A recipe for failure.

It's no surprise these nations are failing. And will continue to do so. Commonality of economies is non existent.And can never be if we are to retain any cultural sovereignty.

The rules of fiscal responsibility are not voodoo. They are well defined and commonly understood. As a matter of fact, you can obtain a PhD in Economics. Meaning Economics "IS" a Science.
And while I concede that even quantum mechanics has its unknowns, certain specific principles exist that provide a foundation from which to base all present and future (immediate) knowledge to stem.
For a government or governments to fail this miserably while blaming "economics", which is to blame common citizens, since it is commonly recognized that 60 to 70% of economic activity "IS" individual spending, seems disingenuous, at least.

Government (at least ours) is obsessed with economic manipulation. It spends an inordinate amount of time and resources frantically pulling and shoving the commonly understood levers of economic health. Why?

Even in a good economy, government manipulation of economic indicators is wildly chaotic. Why? When things are great and going good, why mess with success?

It couldn't be the recently identified insanely rampant "insider trading" on capitol hill, could it? Nah. These are real patriots, right?

Yeah. Right.

Well, okay, so they screw Americans for their own benefit. They are 'serving' America, right? I'm not going into the definition of 'service'. That is up to you to determine.

My point is that government "IS" spending where it's not necessary. It is wasting money. It is fraudulently losing money. And spending on unnecessary protections for nations that themselves don't want those protections.

Taxpayers send money unknowingly to nations like Egypt. Syria. Lebanon. Turkey. Pakistan. Saudi Arabia. Iran. India. Congo. South Africa. Et al. !!!

All at the governments discretion. These pigs can't do a single thing for the general population of America. ALL of it, is done under the auspices of diversity. discrimination, prejudice, repression in one form or another, personal beliefs or some other caveat specified under the "provisions" pf those existing statutes.

Why would our government elected officials create legislation that undermines Americans rights but advances via LAW statutes that demand legislation protecting groups that do not represent any significant percentage of Americans?

In case you are slow or just tired, influence is the answer. Suppressing one group and advancing another results in power and influence.

A degree in behavioral science isn't necessary to figure this stuff out.

Compiled with the current events of today it becomes easy to see that our own government is trying to destroy us.

Is it Cliche' to say: "WAKE UP?"

2011-12-12T13:08:00.000-08:00

Everyone, hello!

I know it has been a long, long time since I last made an entry here.

That is because I felt the act of blogging was really just going through the motions of warning people.

I didn't feel people actually cared. The economy was (really) good. People had money to spend and government was giving it to any (non American or minority) with a hand out.

I'm not anti minority. But I am anti-stupid. Especially if it concerns my money.

Since that time, I've learned, right from the horses mouth, that horse: Cong Joe Knollenberg, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZyAd_rJAx4) that government does NOT believe the money YOU (and I) earn is ours.

It "IS" their money. They just let us use a portion of it. What ever they determine they want us to have.

Today is Monday December 12, 2011. It's roughly 12:00 pm.

Since the time I stopped blogging here we have seen, literally, Trillions of $dollars vanish into thin air. Government has paid this money to its cronies. Political donors, supporters, bankers, insurance companies, international monetary conglomerates, other nations and investment houses in the form of bail outs, hand outs, stimulus, ill conceived jobs bills and much much more.

Why? Aside from the obvious corrupt reasons politicians all use as excuses for their largesse with our money, why did this money need to be doled out all at one like this?

I mean, with literally hundreds, if not thousands of regulators, established previously due to prior incidents of criminal corruption, why wasn't any of this seen a few hundred billion dollars earlier?

Government has a GAO (Government Accounting Office) established because of corrupt politicians and their ear marks, years ago. They didn't see any thing wrong.

Congress had established a regulator for governmental financial groups. Like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That person was Barney Frank in the House and Senator Chris Dodd in the senate. They insisted nothing was wrong, for YEARS.

The financial sector, the banking sector, the insurance sector, the investment and commodities sectors ALL had regulators and controls in place to "sound the alarm" in the event of any indication of impropriety. They all missed it.

The private sector has the economists of powerful Universities and institutions, think tanks and non profit organizations, MSM, print news, internet resources and finally legislative protections for whistle blowers on the inside.

All to protect against this exact scenario. They all missed it.

They missed the lead up. They missed the wall. Everything. It all evaded them.

Intellectuals each and every one. At least, that's what they would tell you. But not one of them was smart enough to see past the end of their own nose. And you and I pay. They all get away with this epic theft.

And make no mistake, this "IS" theft.

They all are very well paid by the standards of the working class. Most are wealthy beyond the comprehension of people like you and me. But we continue to do due diligence to what we are told is the American dream, and work like good little slaves.

Now, I'm NOT an OWS supporter. I am a supporter of honest straight forward business. And I could go into the fact that 'honest' and 'business' is an oxymoron. But that is so beneath the point it is hardly worth the effort here.

How is it that 'honest' and 'business' are beneath this conversation? Well, in case you have been too busy protesting to notice, fascism has established itself in our government.

Now, A. Merriam Webster defines Fascism:

fascism |ˈfa sh ˌizəm| (also Fascism)
noun
an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
• (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach. (That includes favoritism to select business)

But, it is NOT a right wing phenomena, at all. Fascism is a tool of totalitarian government, not a product of limited government or in the case of extreme right wing, no government.

anarchy |ˈanərkē|
noun
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority : he must ensure public order in a country threatened with anarchy.
• absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.

Sourec: (http://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2)

Anarchy is social chaos, effectively, caused by an inability to agree on social policy.

The French Revolution was a aberration of what we now call 'democracy' or more concisely: mob rule.

Charles Krauthammer has stated: "There is nothing more democratic than a lynch mob."

Why? Because 'one person one vote' is the democratic definition of 'democracy.'

America's founders knew that. And if you read the Federalist Papers (available here for free : http://www.manybooks.net/titles/hamiltonaletext98feder10a.html) you know they knew it.

So they worked diligently to produce a fragile but workable Representative Republic.

republic |riˈpəblik|
noun
a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
• archaic figurative a community or group with a certain equality between its members.

It depended fundamentally on a politically involved population and a respect for 'Nature and Natures God.' (it's in the Federalist Papers, like it or not).

I think it was Ben Franklin who was queried by a woman after the Constitutional Convention that asked: 'Well, Mr. Franklin, what have you given us?' His reply? 'A Republic, if you can keep it.'

Almost from that moment forward the nations leaders, either ignorantly or intentionally, began to work against that concept. A republic is a lot of work to maintain.

Now that I have gone this far astray to demonstrate from where we have come and who and what we are supposed to be, it is time to look at whom and what we have become.

When the Federal Reserve was created it was the ultimate disregard for the established government. And the beginning of the horse race that has led to what is now without doubt the destruction of our nation.

Once again, history has proved that man kind can not be trusted. And when left to his own devices he will always choose to promote his vices over any other choice.

Greed. Drives them all. You can call it pleonexia. From the thesaurus:
An ancient word for a contemporary condition. Where pleonexia does the linguistic work that simple greed or avarice does not, is in its diagnosis of a covetousness that is not healthy, that is abnormal. It is a word that needs to be added to the more harmless terms with which we describe the modern consumer. Pleonexia is a heightened and unhealthy condition, as anorexia is the pathological extremity of a brand of asceticism. There is need, then there is desire, then there is greed, and then there is pleonexia.

This vile individual evil now defines our government and the entire support structure that enables it.

We see people who live in America calling for communist rule, today. They call themselves 'Americans' but nothing could be farther from the truth.

"America" is an idea. A concept of self government and socioeconomic construct that promotes freedom and liberty for all.

Communism does non of that.

communist

a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. See also Marxism .
noun & adjective
he describes himself as a communist | communist countries: collectivist, leftist, (radical) socialist; Soviet, Bolshevik, Bolshevist, Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyist, Trotskyite, Maoist; informal, derogatory commie, red, lefty, Bolshie.

The most familiar form of communism is that established by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution of 1917, and it has generally been understood in terms of the system practiced by the former USSR and its allies in eastern Europe, in China since 1949, and in some developing countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea. Communism embraced a revolutionary ideology in which the state would wither away after the overthrow of the capitalist system. In practice, however, the state grew to control all aspects of communist society. Communism in eastern Europe collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s against a background of failure to meet people's economic expectations, a shift to more democracy in political life, and increasing nationalism such as that which led to the breakup of the USSR.

The current administration in government in the U.S.A. is outspokenly communist. Top to bottom, with fascist undertones. (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog)

For the more open minded American I present you with more data for your consideration.

Yea, I know. Jesse Ventura. I don't know Jesse from Adam. But I DO know Navy Seals. While conclusions may be difficult to make here, information is verifiable. And I can assure you, not one (real) Navy Seal is a liar.

And Jesse doesn't SAY any of this is etched in stone, but the trail he exposes is more clear than any he left behind on the ground acting in his capacity as a Navy Seal.

The news today is used to back up the trail exposed. He interviews FBI agents, Congressmen and insiders. As well as people who man the infrastructure in the trenches of government.

I just stumbled upon these youtube videos this week. I have been posting about this stuff for nearly 20 years, myself. Making conclusions on my own only from what I have learned from all broadcast media, print media, press releases, interviews, books, policies, regulation, legislation, history and more. Things match up pretty closely to what I have learned and had confirmed by reality.

My biggest problem has been to what could I attribute what appears to be what Hillary Clinton referred to as the vast 'right wing conspiracy.' Turns out, there is no "right of left" wing of anything. Those are divisive terms used to help confuse the minds of the little people. That's you and me.

I just couldn't wrap my head around the reasons why this would, could, should happen.

Then history came into play. I dare you to research this and come to any other conclusion.

No where in history has anything except GREED driven mans social ambitions. For any reason.

From the earliest cave man to the most modern contemporary government. And that includes all of the support persons (insiders) in government and business, lackeys, boot lickers and other groveling worms under the umbrella of power that flows to the greedy.

It's what is driving the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) movement today. They want something for themselves. And they aren't willing to work for it. They want to TAKE it.

And the carrot is being held in front of their noses by the greedy powerful lust filled George Soros. Who has a deeply vested interest in the collapse of this country. (http://churchandstate.org.uk/2011/04/george-soros-theory-of-reflexivity-mit-speech/)

Don't miss some of the other links to his work and interviews.

He claims his theory of Economic Reflexivity is his life' work. And he has used that theory in several 'quantitative experiments' around the world to demonstrate that he means business, by destroying the economies of at least half a dozen sovereign nations, as proof his theory is valid.

He is driving the OWS and the Arab spring movements with the lackeys I mentioned above.

conspiracy |kənˈspirəsē|
noun ( pl. -cies)
a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful : a conspiracy to destroy the government. See note at plot .
• the action of plotting or conspiring : they were cleared of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
PHRASES
a conspiracy of silence an agreement to say nothing about an issue that should be generally known.

1 a conspiracy to manipulate the results: plot, scheme, plan, machination, ploy, trick, ruse, subterfuge; informal racket.
2 conspiracy to commit murder: plotting, collusion, intrigue, connivance, machination, collaboration; treason.

With all of the unknowns that exist in the world of governments, finance, banking and industry, some of which can be considered secret and far reaching that cultivate the thought of conspiracy, this is out in the open. Just the same, by definition, if the shoe fits...

Today, we are bombarded with information. Every single day. If we had to act on even 10% of it, it would consume all of our time to the exclusion of all else. We rely on thousands of people we don't even know to inform us of the necessary facts so that we can determine for ourselves what is important.

Unfortunately, inexplicably, the reliability of these people in this capacity has incomprehensibly vanished.

Astonishingly, in its place a support structure, or propaganda machine, has emerged in full regalia. Enabling corruption via the charade they have begun to play with an enthusiasm that defies logic and reason. As though a switch had been thrown. A play with parts that extend all the way to the top of each and every organization it touches. Implying that it goes beyond that.

I say that because for decades in America you couldn't get two of them to agree on what to have for lunch. Now, all of a sudden, they agree on nearly everything... as long as it supports their conclusions. And those conclusions, my friends, support communist rule. Global government. One world currency. A level 'playing' field (for everyone except the elite).

What is the very first thing that follows the institution of a communist regime?

Genocide. Always. Every time.

These days with the advent of technology that hides the establishments intentions, actions, surveillance or covers it up, redress is a pipe dream. As we have seen elected government office holders explode with contempt for those who would hold them accountable, redress for Americans is the last thing government wants.

In other words, acting like a Representative Republic is not high on the list of priorities of office holders.

Recently it was revealed that congress (House and Senate) have been doing a considerable amount of insider trading. As if that was something an average American couldn't have figured for themselves.

Coupled with all of the other news pointing to not just rampant corruption but systemic, endemic, institutionalized, unrepentant in your face corruption that screams "I'm a thief, and there is nothing you can do to stop me." One has to wonder... how does this bode for every day Americans?

2010 Election is over, but the denial has only begun. What's the calculus?

2010-11-03T14:46:00.000-07:00

Well, last night the 2010 mid term elections made history. 70 years since recorded history, of our nation, had as many seats from one side of the aisle so thoroughly rejected a party and their policies.

And, sadly, much of this could have been avoided had the 'party in power' only listened to Americans. Yet, today the results are exactly as if no election had occurred at all. Denial, by the survivors, of any kind of "statement" by Americans as to their insane direction is being admitted.

Yet two years ago when Obama was swept into office by much smaller margin it was considered a 'mandate by the American people.' Oddly, it seems that interpretation is key in these types of things.

Well, let me 'interpret' for you politicians, if you don't mind. Because I fore see a replay in two years if you feign a hearing problem now. And the Tea Party and their candidates will be much better prepared for the 'game.'

Obama denies any kind of 'referendum' on his policies, leadership, diplomacy, maturity, spending or direction was any portion of the statement made on Tuesday. Clearly a man with his eyes wide shut. Just the kind of leader the most powerful nation on earth would want. Am I right?

Several of his most dearly revered advisers called Americans "stupid", "lazy dogs", "crazy", "dumb", "confused", "hysterical" and a "rejection of the Republican party".

Van Jones, a self avowed communist and con, said that lazy Americans were "confused" because the words 'Tea Party' are not on the ballot. "

What a grasp of non reality, Mr. Jones.

But later you will learn that delusion is the one common thread that runs from the top to the very bottom of the socialist lefts take on the election, the Tea Party and the GOP. As the socialists struggle to manufacture some form of rhetorical thorn to poke the American people with, as if attacking their political acumen was a sound strategy for convincing the American people to reconsider their actions.

This tactic of attacking Americans thinking, intelligence, political savvy et al has been part and parcel of the socialist strategy for winning the hearts and minds of "the poor ignorant" American people that shouldn't be allowed to vote. That should be left up to the much more informed elite, like the communist, Mr. Jones.

But, Mr. Jones, isn't the only one that believes Americans shouldn't be allowed to vote. The supreme intellectually superior genius and widely recognized professional clown Bill Maher says Americans are too stupid to be allowed to have a voice in the political process of electing a political leader or to chose what type of government that should be.

Billy, the clown, Maher, believes America should become a socialist transitional government (socialist government is a transitional form of government as it establishes full blown Marxism, which has been so wildly popular and successful over the years). And if necessary, "Americans should just be dragged to it."

Very savvy. And, oh, so subtle. What a 'tolerant' view point. In any event it doesn't sound subversive, does it? or tyrannical.
Nope, to the left that sounds like just the right approach. Billy has ohhh so much credibility, because he is a widely known clown and has his own (or had his own) TV show.

People laughed at him, and with him, as he made jokes and derided people and politicians for their statements both in and out of context. What a hoot! A real talent. Obviously, this qualified him for the elite political pundit and economic consultant status of a czar, or something. So, he assumed the mantle without all of the parades and hype normally associated with those kinds of appointments.

Now, that's not delusional at all. Is it? Naw. That is exactly the kind of thing you'd want from a seasoned clown cum presidential consultant. 3 cheers for bozo.

Another favorite of the administration is the venerable and honorable Rev. Al Sharpton. A man that needs no introduction to most Americans. His credibility is very comparable to the court jester, Bill Maher, mentioned above.

His people savvy and savant like political understanding has led him through the tricky catacombs of the likes of the Tawanna Brawley abuse case. Where white police officers were accused, falsely, of abusing a 16 year old black girl. And the amazingly savvy Sharpton led an extremely damaging campaign to destroy the careers of those officers. Of course, later, when the FACTS came out it was determined that Sharpton had been played for a foole. Kind of like Bill Maher.

But it hasn't damaged his credibility. Nope. He is still considered to be a prophet. Thank goodness. What a terrible loss that would have been. The white police officers? Well, not so lucky. But, hey they deserved it. They were white.

Now, as the election unfolded, the 'Rev' Al Sharpton claimed that the presidential 'term' was "theirs". In some reference to pay back to the slavery beleaguered black community for their constant pain and suffering. Probably from the whippings and blisters. That the Tea Party caused the recession AND Iraq.

Now, that's not delusional, is it? Nope. That is just the way it "is". Even though there is no truth to it, whatsoever. That "is" considered 'credible' and 'sane' rhetoric coming from the socialist left and the highly credible 'rev.' Al Sharpton.

I could go on, and on,.. about this with example after example of out right delusional statements and behaviors from the socialist left, commonly referred to as the democratic party. Just using this weeks news I could make a long list.

But I'll spare you that exercise. Instead I'd like to add another significant note.

These examples are only a few select examples that are literally our present headlines. No research is required to verify this stuff. And I'd provide the links and the 'publications' but the left, in it's incredible wisdom, has decided to prosecute people who publish URLs without specific approval from the originating entity. So, suffice it to say the Blaze and WND.

Interestingly, one of the other cohesive elements of the socialist left has been their nearly identical destructive rhetoric, or as we used to call it when I was a child: name calling. Today we can call it 'dogma.'

Americans who disagree with the Bill Mahers or the rev. Al Sharptons or the Jimmy Carters, B.J.Clintons, Chris Mattews', Tom Brokows, John Stewarts etc. are called the same or similar name.

Yeah, sticks and stones... but that isn't exactly how you get people to 'join' your camp of "critical thought."

Americans are "lazy, confused, stupid" (visualize a long, long list here). Ridicule and intimidation are being used as tools. Forget that they are inappropriately being used, against all logic.

Recently the socialist left decided to counter a rally in D.C. held by Glenn Beck to "restore Honor", a personal commitment to restore and uphold the tradition of individual honor. Only this recent rally 'organized' by John Stewart and Steve Colbert was to 'restore sanity.'
No pun intended. Two more professional clowns with a history of delusional commentary and behavior organized a rally to 'restore' sanity! What a paradox.

At the rally a sign was displayed that accused Obama of being a Keynesian. Any 1st year economics student could tell you that Keynesian is an economic theory. Where in government 'stimulates' the economy to get the economic "results" it desires, in diametric opposition to free market theory.

Attendees accosted those responsible for the sign saying that Obama was not a Kenyan! He's an American.

But it's the Tea Party and GOP supporters and the Constitutional government types that are stupid, dumb, lazy etc.

Idiots on display still aren't enough to sway the intellectual to possibly reconsider the hypothesis behind the claims. Americans, I'm begging you, get off the crack and take a critical look at what the hell you are being told by losers and self proclaimed intellectuals. Don't cave to intimidation or threats. Those are socialist platform planks straight out of the manifesto for Marxism.

Americans don't swallow crap just because they are told to do so or because the guy next to you does. We are different. We lead. Even when others don't want to follow. That makes individual leadership and character, something that at one time was in huge supply in America. Let's come together as Americans. Forget Marxism. It's a death trap.

Paul Volker: "We are running out of time."

2010-05-20T08:49:00.000-07:00

For the last year + B. Hussein Obama has told America that "we are past the worst of it" that the economy is in recovery. Today Paul Volker, former head of the Federal Reserve, says some thing must be done, we are running out of time. Referring to the deficit.

Folks, I have been saying this for some time. Government has been lying to us about the state of the economy, jobs and more. IMHBLO, THIS administration is preparing us for the collapse of our economy, at this moment.

They have been lying to keep us off guard, while they shake the economy to get the loose change from folks like you and me. They have talked a great many Americans into buying into the market since the economic drop back in 2008. Since then market volatility has claimed an even larger share of private wealth from investors on more than one occasion as that very same volatility robbed those investors of even more of their equity.

If you think that every thing is on the up and up I hope you have been reading the news lately, from over seas. In UK this week evidence was submitted to the commodities regulatory commission that J.P. Morgan has been manipulating the Gold and precious metals markets for several years.

The commodities regulatory commission has so far refused to look into the allegations. Why? The government has been doing it's manipulation of gold markets for several years also through the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (T.I.P.S.) sales. In conjunction with the sale of these "securities" the U.S. government has understated the annual inflation of our currency.

In Germany they are making it illegal to Short sell now, after telling the German people that they had to provide 1 Trillion dollars to Greece so that nation wouldn't default. The 'free markets' of the world are abandoning the people that provide the motion to that very economy! Hiding the evidence of what amounts to international economic fraud.

People, when this thing comes down, it's going to hit with lightening speed. Virtually over a long weekend we could find ourselves in a third world nation.

Our own government is complicit in this effort. While our "leadership" stumps for the redistribution of American wealth to the "poorest" nations on earth, not one of them, and they are ALL rich, has led by example. Not ONE. What they are talking about is YOUR wealth, not theirs.

Your house? All of your 'possessions' are going to be subject to confiscation by government theft.

Government is not conspiring to do this, they are BRAGGING about doing it.

Government is luring Churches into their "cooperation" trap to promote a borderless society. Government is readying to nationalize the MSM, the internet and broadcast media. "The Free Press Act", just signed by the POTUS was a BS effort. We have a "Free Press' Right in the Constitution. By 'suggesting' that THEY give you that 'right' it means that they can TAKE it away at their discretion... the next big crisis.

People, it's time for us to become educated on our founders and our nations founding. We are the true heirs of Freedom and Liberty. It is ours to preserve or to lose. If you would like your children to have the peace of mind that comes from freedom, just like you had when you were a child, then you must protect that future by taking back control of YOUR nation, before it' s too late.

Have you noticed the illegal aliens are talking more and more about taking over the southwest US again? Something about 'stolen' land and other provocative innuendo clearly from uneducated morons?

Let's be clear here (as Obama would say), the ONLY reason these people want to "steal" this land back is because it is the most productive land on earth. It has been developed and is now the most expensive land on earth as well. It holds riches in corporate and private wealth. "Steal" is the correct adverb.

But a bit of history for the uneducated first.

As they are claiming, historically, land has been taken from other peoples for several reasons. Even the myans, aztecs American indians took land from those they conquered. And that is the point. Battle has always lead the to the taking of land. Mexico itself was conquered by the Spanish and the people there to this day are the product of those genes and they make up the majority of the population much as the western europeans now make up the majority of the US.

It was battle that won the land of the south western US and it was mexico that yielded it upon demand. More specifically the mexican government.

The French colonized Polynesia, the Spanish the Philippines and we took that from them. We colonized Guam, and many other south pacific islands, puerto rico etc.

In this country we bought what we could and took in battle what was left. As they say to the victor go the spoils. We and the Russians divided up Japan and Germany after WWII. Of course we don't "occupy" either but the US still has more than 60,000 troops in Germany. 45,000 in Korea. Japan is divided into two different power grids 50hz and 60hz since the end of the war. One American and one Russian.

The point here is that land has always bee acquired by conquest. Some times it is given up as booty other times it is acquired strictly by vanquishing the enemy. Romans did it, Egyptians did it. Natives did it. Cave men did it.

Today, not so much. But Russia hasn't given up on the possibility that it may "acquire" Georgia by conquest. The Tutsi' take land from the Tutu' and Mugabe takes Mozambique from the preceding government all by force.

The one thing that the illegal aliens in California have is that they are criminal in their intent and their designs. But just because you picked a few strawberries doesn't make you an 'owner' in any sense. You came here for the jobs, right? isn't that what you have been saying all these years? right? and that's what makes you so 'indispensable' right? your landscaping knowledge?

Criminal intent is the one thing illegal aliens are transplanting here. Mexico exists for one purpose and that is corruption. If you aren't a criminal in mexico, you will be. And if you aren't a criminal IN mexico, it's because you are a criminal in the US.

Mostly geopolitical boundaries are pretty rigid today.

Well I think it's pretty clear now

2010-05-14T07:16:00.000-07:00

So, over the last few dozen months I have suffered from the same thing that I have accused the previous generation from and that is a form of apathy. Or maybe better described as "the government wouldn't do that" would it?

Well, the evidence to the contrary over the last few dozen months has reached a point of supercriticality. (I know there is no real word 'supercriticality' so I made it up).

If you have ever read any of my other blogs you know that I am pretty much a stickler for principles and honor. I know we aren't perfect, any of us, myself included, but by being a stickler I am forced to look at my own character as critically as I do other peoples character. And then I'm compelled to at least attempt to improve my flaws.

The previous generation had this sort of unerring trust of government, they wouldn't believe the government would do anything to intentionally hurt the country.

And my admission to you is that I have suffered from this for the last few months myself even as I already knew a great deal about what they really are doing and it is very much harmful tour nation and to each and every one of us here. Legally or not.

For those of you that haven't noticed, Glenn Beck, it's time you did if you care about this nation and what is left behind for the next users. And I'm not talking about environmentalism either. The environment will out survive all of us. Not that we don't need to be as kind to it as we can be.

It's not a conspiracy theory as it is widely understood now that the present administration is actively working to destroy the country and collapse the world economy. (yeah, it does sound kind of wacky to me too, and hence my problem over the last few months). But it's undeniable by those who can think on their own. To those who don't believe it, well, I can't help you. Or as one of those self help ESP gurus says: "I have no medicine for you."

You are on your own. But for those of you who are as convinced as I am that the actions of government actually prove it's intent and the actions are indeed proving their intent to destroy the nation, I just want to let you know that I am on board. And recent Glenn Beck programs have gone way over the required level of proof to convince me.

I have done my own research on many of the communists now fully exposed in the White House and parading around like a sexual deviant who has just flung the closet door wide open and can't contain their modesty any longer are now clearly defined by their own words in my research.

But it doesn't end there. As we all know today words are nearly meaningless. You can say anything you damn well want and not mean a single syllable, pointing back and saying 'I was only expressing myself, you know, right to freedom of speech.'

Now we can go over the reasons why peoples words don't mean anything today versus back in the day where a persons word was their bond. But that is a futile effort of the loss of social and individual honor. What becomes undeniable is actions. Because actions, my friend, speak volumes louder than words.

And the actions of this administration are insanely stupefying compared to it's words. But, why are their words so shockingly different from their actions? Why are they actually lying to us? Why are they hiding their actions?

This isn't just political posturing and the little white lies, this is great big right in your face we really don't care if you know what we are doing, we are telling you we are doing this, lies.

So, I've said I have done my own research and I have. I have bought the books and done the web searches. I've seen the video clips and I've read the papers. But I've done more than that. I've traveled over seas. I'm right now, in Ireland. I'm seeing the picture from another perspective and I have to tell you that it's even uglier from here than they are letting on in the states.

I've only been here since February and I'll be here only until the end of August, but it's long enough to see the shoreline of political and social upheaval and the horizon both, from here. I'm telling you that the US media is covering up or is on the side of the movement to destroy America. The news of what is going on in nations around the world is not being covered. Hell the news about the floods in Nashville aren't being covered, for political reasons.

America isn't what it once was and it will likely never be that way again. But if YOU and I don't do something it will certainly be rewritten history very shortly.

You have to become politically active and you have to promote and elect honorable patriots to office. States have got to take control of their own borders and leave the national government behind. It has failed to do it's intended purpose with malice a fore thought.

We may have to dissolve the existing government and re establish a new government, like they do in France after every election, as the Constitution said we might have to. It has come to that. Time to wipe the slate clean and start over with the same Constitution and new people top to bottom. Not just in elected government. But at all levels of government. We will need to dissolve our relationship with the U.N. and send them to France for all I care, they just need to get out of our country and our lives.

State politicians have their problems too but those belong to the states individually. I could care less what happens in California. The people there have allowed this to happen to them because they are spineless as a collective body. Yeah, I know not every one is a weak bladder twink, but it doesn't matter if the only results show the twinks are running the state. And they are. It's been proven.

It's time to grow some skin. Things are tough all over, but you can't hurt me or intimidate me into changing my mind or who I am. But I will work together with others to save this country. Even if we are of differing opinions. We have something here and we are watching it vaporize right before our eyes. It can be saved but only by people who really care.

Which one are you?

Socialism takes off the mask

2010-04-22T16:13:00.000-07:00

http://www.socialdemocratsusa.org/socialistparty.shtml

Socialism has finally decided it's time to take off the mask and openly declare it has begun a war against America, Americans, history and our culture in pursuit of Marxist government. Individual freedom, liberty and self government are the enemies of socialism.

What does this mean to you and me? Well, first it means that politicians have decided that the American way of government is too difficult for them to come to grips with. That individual graft and corruption are more attractive politically, financially and personally to them than honor and integrity.

It means that what we have suspected all along was more true than we knew and that politicians who ridiculed Americans for their beliefs that politicians were corrupt and self serving were lying to us directly.

It means that the trust that we believed we should have in our government AND our business institutions was nothing more than a tissue of lies and deceit.

But thankfully, the charade has been exposed, the veil lifted and the ugly truth has been revealed.

Many of these people we have called our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues, our mentors and our leaders as they assumed a cloak of deceit used to lead us into a place where we could be forced into a life and a future where we loose our freedom.

Why these people would do such a thing ends up in the construction of a list so long as to be almost impossible to attempt to make. Yet some understanding, it seems, must be laid so that we might make enough sense out of the mess that we might extricate ourselves.

There is hardly time for such luxury.

If you have or have had some (now) delusional belief that your children would enjoy a life of freedom and liberty that you grew up with; if you believed that American culture would always be our heritage and would be handed down to your grand children, you had better get in this fight and you had better do it right now.

It doesn't matter what the reasons are for this attack. It has always been the duty of freedom loving people to keep liberty from being devoured by those that would prefer to suckle at the teat of a fickle host than to strive for self reliance.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. And we have allowed ourselves to be lulled into a state of delusional ease. Keeping liberty is much easier, no matter the cost, than the fight to regain it once it has been lost.

Nearly every aspect of 'civil' society has been used against freedom loving Americans to gain this control. And the reckless use of innocents and the phenomenal cost intellectually and financially, not yet understood, but when considered, has unabashedly and apologetically sacrificed an unbelievable quantity of resources and caused untold human suffering yet to be seen.

Today it is obvious and openly admitted that disgraceful men and women have used politics, our government and business to create an intricate infrastructure based almost entirely on the illusion of cooperation and compassion to destroy the background of our history.

Schools, from pre-K through post graduate level, have literally conspired to move our children into socialism in lieu of education they were supposedly interested in providing. We paid for them to subvert the futures of our children by allowing them to provide U.N. dogma as instruction, anti American revisionist history, socialist indoctrination, third grade level math skills, sexual orientation, anti God rhetoric and the list only becomes unimaginably long from here.

We have allowed our Constitutional Rights, Rights derived directly from nature and natures God, the God our founders recognized as the Creator, to be gutted as though they have no meaning what so ever. Friends we have been led to believe that these Rights mean so little as to be nearly meaningless. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

If they have so little value then why have we seen endless decades spent in the never ending battle to parse the words contained in the Constitution? The countless dollars spent in endless never ending debate over words that you and I know very well the meaning of? As if Americans, unlike one recent president, can't determine the meaning of "is" in clear concise and well understood common language.

It has always been the responsibility of Americans to keep government in reign. We have fallen asleep at the helm and are perilously close to foundering on the shallow reef of our own shallow concept of the magnitude of our responsibility to shoulder the burden, yes liberty is burdensome, just ask our fore fathers, with appropriate respect for it's value.

'We' are the foundation of America. Not government. Government is a man made contract that can be dissolved by necessity, if required. But having paid so dear a price historically for this wonderfully beautiful opportunity it seems a tragic devaluation of self esteem and treasure to fail without really applying ourselves to the engagement.

All it takes is the openness of sunlight that education and persuasive insistence applied with the knowledge that we are not giving up provides.
Our bravest men and women are fighting a real battle, the kind that was traditionally fought for this very topic: Freedom, using the ONLY TWO things required to win: Persistence and determination. the very two things that have been used against us while we slept.

If we fail and we gave it our best, well, we can say tried. But to fail without having even applied ourselves when all it takes is effort would be the worst legacy of any previous generation under any political model in history. To loose such a blessing to humanity without even so much as a whimper of dissatisfaction from the vanquished would render new meaning to the term humiliation.

What really bothers me about this is that we have been duped. Lied to with intent to harm. I HATE being sold out. I HATE being duped. And I HATE liars posing as honorable purveyors of trust.

This month we have seen the unmasking of liars, of dishonorable men and women (as in the link above) who have now declared an outright war on honest hard working Americans who only wanted to pass on the legacy they inherited from their ancestors of hope, freedom and love of God for their own self aggrandizement.

Take up our history! Read and become educated! Socialism has been defeated before and can be again, if we get on the ball right this minute. Government is not the answer. Government should be, and is, a tool for securing the Rights of free men and women. Not the source of human achievement or the answer to the problems of people. People are the answer to the problems of people. Due diligence and the application of effort is what we need.

We are our own answer. It's time to frame the question: Are we capable of answering our own problem?

The Fog is beginning to clear

2010-03-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

It's now been three years since America was first introduced to the Evangelical Marxist, Obama, as politician running for president. One of those years he has actually been president.

We have heard volumes of rhetoric. We've heard his 'visions' and we've head his dreams. We've learned of his philosophies his character.

But as has been the rule for the last few candidates for the democratic party running for president, his collegiate papers and views from his developmental period are locked away. Off limits. Still, he claims this period as self validating and as his politically formative period leaving us to wonder what that means without context.

Some of his hundreds of hours of interviews both before he was elected and speeches since he was elected have helped put who obama is into a perspective that is still under construction. But the finish work is in progress, and we can now begin to see what the final product was envisioned as from the beginning.

And it is shocking.

Campaign rhetoric is, as we all know, mostly theater and hot CO2 laden air constructed with flimsy lies and even flimsier props. It's a fishing expedition in the planing stages where stories about strategy and bait are the only real intent. No one actually expects to use any of that tripe should they ever actually find themselves on the bank with a pole in hand.

However, during this last interminable campaign for POTUS we were privy to the actual direction the candidate was planning on taking us, as much as we believed he was only blowing foul smelling hot air.

His speeches were delivered as though he had attended seminary school, practiced countless hours on stage and had some serious proselytizing to get done in order to save his quota of souls by closing time.

He stated promises unequivocally and with clarity. And he has kept or is pursuing every one that promised social justice, while breaking every one of a political reform nature with a vengeful passion born of Satan himself.

Claims of a lobbyist free cabinet. Gone day one. Claims for the end of politics as usual. Gone week one. Claims for claims for civil debate. Gone week one. Claims for posting ALL legislation online for 5 days before being voted on. Gone and has never happened. These would have been fundamental change in Washington. But they were thrown out with his honor.

Claims for redistribution of wealth. Are in every syllable that sprays from his cavernous mouth. Green jobs. Have helped in killing 2 jobs for every one created. Social justice. He has surrounded himself with socialists, Communists, Marxists, Maoists, he's socialized a large portion of the Insurance industry, the banking industry, 2/3's of the automobile manufacturing industry and is working on the housing markets. He says he is against the free market even though the free market has made America. Suggesting his is on the process of 'unmaking' America.

Information outlets have been compromised and now are wildly enthusiastic state propaganda distribution centers operating with the very same content in favor of all things marxist as are found in every socialist nation on the planet and spewing hatred of all things libertarian in just the same fashion. And most are calling for wide spread censorship of speech not appropriately supportive of marxist doctrine.

Many supporters are now openly and pridefully calling themselves and our new direction socialist. Those include Senators and Congresspersons, The New York Times, MSNBC, Time magazine, long time "social justice" mouth pieces and a host of others.

Historically well understood methods of fascist, socialist and marxist doctrine are now openly unabashedly applied as though some level of general acceptance had been surpassed. Much like the flurry of 'gays' announcing they were 'out of the closet' some years back as though there was some popular interest in their sexual exploits. It turns out that being 'gay' is more a political statement than a statement of sexuality. As heterosexuals don't go around making such pronouncements of or using their sexuality as a political bludgeon it hardly fits that 'gays' are only interested in their 'sexual liberty'. That's simply nonsense.

Those among us that have used their spare time to good advantage have had opportunity, perhaps, to read history. I know I have. And it can't be overstated how well executed the plan to socialize America has been. It's amazing, the clarity of 20/20 hindsight. Properly weighted with the perspective of history, of course.

It can be debated as to the level of involvement of many groups and whether or not they were what you might call 'active subversives' or just useful idiots. But looking at the history of many of the communist, for lack of a more appropriate term, czars advising the president on which socialist step will beget him the most mileage should be his next, we find a vast array of groups constructed on just that (communist) model that they were involved in.

Many wrote books, manifestos and near do well biographies of their marxist exploits, many of them criminal if not treasonous. Laying out their plans, their hopes and their goals in a manor that might be considered a subversive plan. It turns out that Joseph McCarthy wasn't wrong after all.
And frankly, I believe that Reagan's speeches revealed a personal knowledge that communists were in fact deeply entrenched in our government. And he was warning savvy citizens that 'choices' were going to have to be made without actually making any accusations outright. Too bad the numbers of "savvy" Americans were far lower than he had obviously hoped.

So the level of coordination of these many groups may not have been closely orchestrated but using history as a model they were each able to take on an aura that resembled the others. Labor Unions. A.C.O.R.N., Teachers Unions, Social justice groups used minorities as hapless dupes for socialism and they still do, lobby organizations, a great many of our classic American businesses and many more all have actively participated openly and covertly in the effort to socialize America.

Congress at this very moment is actively participating in using minorities for that very same exact purpose as they consider ways to, once again, provide amnesty to criminal illegal aliens after just enacting the single most important step to locked in socialist government; StalinCare, or more popularly referred to as ObamaCare or Health Care.

How some Americans can be so blind as to not see this is astonishing to me. But, as I mentioned earlier, I have been using my 'spare' time to my advantage by doing some reading.

Education only favors those who wish to retain a Constitutional Republic form of government. The historically confused, uneducated bulk of Americans who wish they could be part of a socialist government haven't lived abroad under or near such regimes. And there fore haven't suffered the mind numbingly debilitating suffocation that these governments impose on their subjects and the crippling taxation.
You are no longer a 'citizen' under socialized government, you are a "subject" of government at that point. An object for policy consideration and legislative rule over by oligarchic elitists.

The uneducated are the tools of such governments. Remember the French Revolution? Of course, that turned out badly for the educated 'initiators' i.e. Robespierre et al but the real 'tools' were the uneducated poor people who were used to bring into cold blooded action the invective and hate conceived by these elitists.

While I expect no such travesty to come to our nation the same technique is being applied to the folks who haven't been properly educated, that opportunity is theirs to make what they wish from it. They have been 'sacrificed', if you will, for the greater good that was understood would come, eventually, from their own use as pawns for the advancement of socialist goals by the teaching profession who are controlled by union leadership. And are themselves one of the groups of 'elite' who determine, rather haphazardly, the success of America by their efforts.

A sort of "October Sky" moment has to fleetingly land on some one before they literally set themselves free from the intractable web of "The Matrix" that most of the 'tools' allow themselves to become trapped in.

Socialized government has a tendency to cause that mindset to become the necessary status quo. Individualism rocks the 'one for and all for one' 'one size fits all' socialist boat.

So, as amnesty becomes the next target of Americas socialists and with voting rights restoration for convicted felons next in the queue we see the fog begin to lift and the cold stare of marxism and statist control looms before us, the question that remains to be answered is: will Americans once again become moral enough not to allow themselves to become enslaved by the government so carefully constructed to avoid that very thing?

Does "Health Care" bill reflect an out of touch Congress?

2010-03-21T05:32:00.000-07:00

The question has been posed that the absolute insistence of Congress that government based Health Care reform be passed now and in spite of a majority of citizens being against it is due largely to their being out of touch with citizen constituents and even reality. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=129761)

I contend it is no such thing and extend to them no such potential for explanation of clearly unexplainable and unacceptable behavior in ignoring the peoples voice and the obvious evidence of of the fiscal folly as well as the clear encroachment on individual liberties.

It's my personal belief that Congress has been filled with 'career' politicians for one reason and one reason only, and that is they are and have been socialists on the 'slow road' to undermining America for decades. Chipping away at our liberties and freedoms in favor of "social remedies" for years.

Biding their time until it finally happened, an outspokenly socialist / communist candidate came forward and postulated his vision sufficiently couched and under adequate social camouflage, i.e. racial apologist, with enough difference in his or her views expressed in euphemistic terms and enough bologna to satisfy the moderate conservative crowd to raise the eyebrows of the public school indoctrinated populace to the key words, phrases and bullet points of their socialist education to elect that person as president.

Not that Bush and Clinton weren't guilty of much of the same behaviors, they were just much more stealthy about it.

Once in office the stops came out. Administration cabinet appointees, non cabinet Czars, new cabinet position designations, and the pre-positioned legislation already waiting in the lobby of special interest lobby groups like the American Center for Progressive Government to be delivered to the doors of congress came to the front of the stage with the previously less vociferous socialists already well entrenched at the highest levels of congress.

If you are like me, and have wondered for years and years why people like Schumer, Boxer, Rangel, Dodd, Frank, Kennedy, Durbin and many many others made long and profitable careers of politics while promoting and passing legislation that acted against Americans freedoms and liberties but some how avoided being smelled as the stinking rot they are, it now becomes clear; it was our schools and unions that let us down, with malice of fore thought.

Unions are a product of the socialist model. They were brought here under the guise of the same traditionally used logic; helping the working man stand up to abuse by 'big business' and now 'big government'.

And then, as if it were a weed, germinating into a giant fungus undermining every step of liberty in the name of 'progress'. Usurping individual autonomy, rights, freedoms grew into an uncontrolled non native invasive species where previously the antidote was ones knowledge of our Constitution, Rights, freedoms, liberties. The teaching of which had been subdued in favor of 'progressive' social methods that addressed symptoms resulted from a free population being counterculture indoctrinated via school union 'vision'.

Business and the free market, too, was subdued by 'working mans' unions. Made to cow to union demands by legislative mandates fostered by economically debilitating and profit sapping strikes, walk outs, labor union negotiations for unreasonable concessions, and union pressure on legislators using the lobby process of wining, dinning, entertaining, bribing and even extortion and murder where required in order to 'advance the progressive cause'.

Today congress is filled with socialist apologists instead of principled Americans who believe in Constitutional government. So there is no need for the hard ball tactics as often to get them on board, they've been supplanted.

Reasonably, the working man believed union leadership was working for them, but in fact, it turns out and we see today, that the unions were and in fact still are using workers for their own purpose.

In today's world of open unashamed compromise on ALL principle in the full light of day, it has become easy to swallow ones self respect as part of the daily requirement for existence. And unions make sure members are well aware of that requirement. As they tolerate no deviation from the established dogmatic doctrine that they espouse by membership and make no bones about sending in the goon squad to remind members and even non members, when they want their 'individual opinion' they will give it to them.

Congress has taken on this same air with citizens. The process has come full circle right before our eyes, in the full light of day. The question now becomes one of have Americans the ability to 'see' the full meaning what has transpired and interpret it for it's true meaning despite being indoctrinated in schools and subdued at work and ignored by government. And are they still imbued with sufficient faith in the Constitutional system established by our founders to jump into the fray and exercise the power contained in the "Ruby Slippers", (as I like to say), the power of freedom and liberty.

{Read here about your cultural history, rights and what has happened to them. And your chance to regain your rightful place among them (http://newswithviews.com/Timothy/baldwinA.htm) well written by a lawyer. }

At one time America was not the place for the faint of heart. It required a boldness of spirit and commitment from its people that has since become a target for the now tamed, the meek and the mild socially introspective and respectful of the rights of others or of society but sacrificial in regards to their own. Ridiculed for outspoken belief in individual freedom and liberty as if civilized society and individual rights were mutually exclusive of one another.

These Americans have all but given up on their individual rights for a slew of reasons but I'd wager that the biggest reason is they haven't any faith. I don't mean in God, necessarily. Although that would bolster their argument significantly. Several founders were non believers in God. But they believed in the principles of life that Christians believe were inscribed by the Hand of God and handed to Moses for all to live by. They had faith in the Christian community as a social construct because of its inherent goodness and charitable precepts.

Government and schools, with the aid of unions, have disemboweled wide spread faith in God in favor of mans social construct of legislating morality. Effectively taking human dignity, charity and self confidence with it.

It's time Americans, it's time for you to realize the power you hold and the legacy that could well die if you don't come to that realization. As has been said by much greater men than I, "This is the last stand on Earth for Freedom." Future generations may never know about the freedom that once was as common here in America as warm summer breezes and just as satisfying to partake of.

I hate to get maudlin but if human life has no other meaning than to exist, were our fore fathers just stupid? Why would you go to such extremes to protect something that didn't exist? (http://newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin572.htm)

And if this is something that is worth such sacrifice how can you sit idly by and watch it vanish from existence without a whimper? when it is reasonable to assume that only the sound of your voice added to the growing crowd of voices decrying this breech of public trust is all the "sacrifice" that may be asked of you?

No one is asking you to donate a limb or an organ or any blood or to shed your blood. But only to stand up, and to demand what is rightfully yours as an American.

Congress isn't "out of touch". They are out of line. They are out of control. They are WRONG. And they need to be placed back on course. And that course is the one that protects your freedoms and liberties as outlined by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The only way to put them back on track is to become informed. Know the facts. Know your rights and know that they come from God, whether or not you believe in God. And to hold them to their responsibilities. And know that governments contract with the people (you and me) requires them to acknowledge those truths, for, after all, they are self evident!

I saw the socialist progressives all standing at a microphone the other day, while one of their esteemed claiming that they "created rights for Americans" and every time they created a right they went back and "enhanced" those rights by adding legislation to them. And they all nodded in mutual agreement that, yes, indeed, this was true.

In an outright blasphemous admission that they were the source of your rights. If this kind of breach of their oaths of office doesn't offend your sensibilities to honor and integrity I'm afraid that you and I have little more to discuss. Without honor and integrity as individuals what are we?

In the case of congress, it appears, we are commodities. Only for sale to the highest bidder.

By the way, you are the highest bidder. And congress is holding your proxy.

Where does reason enter the Global Warming movement?

2010-03-06T07:26:00.000-08:00

Presently, I'm living and working in Ireland. And as with my time in America, I love to listen to politics and science issues as they offer more to think about than most other contemporary commentary.

Recently I have learned that the Baltic Sea had trapped many ships at sea in sea ice. Thousands of persons were trapped aboard their vessels as ice breakers and helicopters worked to rescue many and free the ships from the dangerous sea ice. Thankfully, that effort was successful but took them many days to complete.

Also, German sea ports were completely frozen over as record low temperatures froze the sea over keeping fishing vessels from harvesting food for citizens.

Here in Ireland, according to the locals in conversation, they haven't had a summer in three years, this may be the first spring where plants bloom in three years! They have had rain and cold the last three summers.

The European continent itself is forested by 33% more trees than before WWII, according to Discovery EU.

Conveniently, man made Global Warming promoters have explained that GW was predicted to have this effect many years ago. That GW would have the effect of causing Europe to freeze.

Now, I'm a reasonable man. I am confident in myself and my beliefs. I have some education but not as much as say, Al Gore. I have worked in science based employment most of my adult life. I have taken logic and reason in college. I do have a weakness and that is I have to be convinced before I buy... or believe.

I can be and have been proved wrong. I am not nor do I claim to be infallible. But I stick to my guns that this AGW thing seems more than a bit fishy to me.

Initially, I was on board with the idea. It seemed as though we might be shown how this was a fact through traditional scientific method. I was excited. I understand scientific method. I can read and analyze data. I understand logic. I understand process control and instrumentation. I understand statistics to some degree and I have taken economics classes in college.

But as soon as I was interested the disclosure shifted to developing computer models. And there were many of them. No two are the same. As I was working for a major international electronics company at the time where we used scientific method and computer models it became clear that this wasn't going to be a traditional process of scientific discovery, documentation and disclosure.

As I passively observed things unfold I became informed that instruments were compromised and corrective action wasn't undertaken. Data was corrupted by compromised instruments but as it built up in the queue eventually an invented correction factor was applied to all compromised instruments. Making them equal. This is convenient because now a constant can be applied to compensate for those previously corrupted, but still individually variable, data sources. This results in a bias in the input software.

At my employment we were 100% concerned about the validity of our data. We were trained on scientific method, statistical process control, design and execution of experiments, observation and analysis, Pareto charting and a host of other techniques used for scientific identification and classification.
We conducted design of experiments and executed them with precision. We calibrated our instruments and conducted gauge studies on those instruments and documented all of it. We prepared and presented data in classic scientific standard format, submitted papers for peer review and publication.
During all of this we met a couple of times a week for review of our process and method. We continued educational influences by going to refresher classes, consulting with other scientists and professionals on staff.

But as I continued to passively observe the AGW faithful I became more and more concerned that something was inherently wrong. Since I already knew that data was being accepted and input that was corrupted and that computer models were being developed by these 'scientists' to analyze their inputs it became apparent that outputs were unreliable. Later, I learned that some data were not even being used at all! That meant some one was applying subjective criteria (do I or don't I) to the list of inputs.

Once you have proceeded beyond this (collective) Rubicon you have admitted to yourself that the effort is not about scientific output. Something else has to drive the effort for it to maintain it's momentum.

Prior to the popular revelation of AGW it was common to read and see the manifest efforts of domestic terrorist organizations as they scampered about the country wreaking their havoc on private property and the free market.

In the late 1950's and early 1960's you could read and see the manifest efforts of communist and socialist faithful as they went about their idealistic beliefs destroying private property and wreaking havoc on the free market system.

What ever happened to them? They realized that they were beating their heads against a wall, and the police were beating their heads against a wall. Their perspective was loosing credibility in the public's eye. A new vector was required to advance the effort.
That's when the two pronged approach began to take root.
First you can't change something by force from the outside as effectively as you can from the inside as a part of it.
Second Cloward and Piven published their socialist manifesto (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967) and the philosophy that in order to make the changes that were "needed" the system (free market capitalism and the political socioeconomic infrastructure) had to be completely destroyed. And to do that one plan was developed and that was to over burden the system beyond it's ability to support demands.

The riots and the strife were largely gone after this as the faithful wormed their way inside the host to begin the subversion of the infrastructure from inside. After that we began to see organizations like A.C.O.R.N. spring up.

As with the progressive socialist movement of 1960's the domestic environmental terrorist movement of the late 1970's and the 1980's began to worm their way inside the host and by and large were feeding off of society by the 1990's from within it's supporting infrastructure.

GreenPeace, WWF, ELF, PETA and many other organizations discovered lobbyists, members became political supporters or became politicians themselves, completed their educations and became professors or teachers. They joined unions where legal protests could frequently become radicalized and demands could be legally forced up through social and corporate upper levels using virtual extortion.

Today much of the idealistic battle is much more effectively fought on the battlefield of the floors of the House and Senate using the rhetoric of government to slice deeply into Constitutional America. Where winning means unimaginable amounts of tax payer dollars funding progressive socialist groups and projects designed to further subvert the system. All using governments own knives to whittle away the foundations as they wait for the resulting collapse caused by their efforts or those organized from without.

Slowly, almost imperceptibility popular perspective is turned as socialist victories mount. More public supported funding for this and that, public financial support for a new agency, bureau, department, cabinet position, increased salaries, minimum wage, regulations, subsidies, legislative mandates funded and unfunded, law suits of ridiculous nature, foreign aid increases for every imaginable reason, we even subsidize taxes against our own trade in other nations!

Are we 'just stupid'? No, not in the least. This is all part and parcel of the effort to collapse our economy. Causing a "crisis" where in government must reformulate it's process for doing 'business'. Socially, politically and economically.

Europe is mired deeply in it's socialism. Several nations of Europe are on the precipice of this very type of collapse at this very moment. Ireland is one. Greece. Spain. Great Britain. Several others are very near. But the system is designed to collapse in on itself. And as perspective moves ever more to the socialist view point away form self accountability and responsibility it grows ever more interdependent, like dominoes moving ever closer for stability as a shaky table begins to threaten the existing posture.

I was reading this morning that unions in Sweden are causing considerable economic trouble there. Not via protests or riots but by minimum wage requirements, employment requisites, pensions and benefits.

Our nation is seeing the exact same problems. We are just larger and can hold on longer than such a small nation. Doubt me? What caused the issue with GM? Unions. Now GM is a problem borne by American citizens, not share holders. But it doesn't end there.
There are the banks, insurance companies and more.

Some of the brightest people America can produce are in our elected government. Honestly or dishonestly they are there. These are the intellectual elite that feel compelled to rule (or lead, depending on how you look at it and on how they behave) others. Most are lawyers, some are businessmen and women. Few are lay people there to serve for Constitutional purposes.

The point is they aren't stupid. They do see the writing on the wall. They are the ones putting it up there. Surely a summation of their efforts has been formulated in their minds.

I can't deny that obviously business and lobbyists have more influence than the general population has with government (except in election years) and that influence has also obviously been part of the present context of our economic situation. Deals are made and closed long before they make it to the House or Senate floors for a vote, behind closed doors in conference committee.

Now, couple this broken way of conducting 'Constitutional' government with our progressive socialist POTUS and over zealously sympathetic congress and senate and a large question looms: Was 'Time' magazine right? are we a socialist nation? If so, how did that happen without any shots being fired?

The last I knew every politician still clams we are a 'Constitutional Republic' (a bit dysfunctional, but still...) or some reasonable facsimile. That would mean that the contract that is The Constitution (yes, it is a contract) is still valid. But, again, broken. Leaving us with the very real opportunity to regroup and start with a clean slate.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Of course that is a portion of a familiar document to citizens of America. It clearly states that it is a Right of the People to alter or abolish it (government destructive of those ends) when government becomes between the People and Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Our 'form' of government isn't in need of reconstruction, just what men have turned it into these days. Some believe that the American government is too big to be rebuffed. I say it is too big to not be. England was believed to be too large to rebuff in the days of our founding, yet with tact and determination it was. We also have a few things on our side.

Our government is under contract. As are we, the People, to follow certain and specific covenants within that agreement. Over the years we the People have tolerated encroachment after encroachment breech after breech impingement after impingement of our Rights and of the limitations placed by said contract, upon the government, which we established in a legal covenant of contractual sacred trust to secure the Rights specific and other wise outlined on those pages within the bounds established within the context of the contract.

As we all know a contract has no life expectancy, and is valid until it's stated end of life or it is mutually agreed upon to legally dissolve the bonds legally established therein. I think I can safely say that no such agreement has ever been proposed or agreed upon.

Further, I think I can safely say that according to the Rights of we the People as stated in the Declaration of Independence that it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it "and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Leaving no such option to the government, the option belongs to we, the People. As a matter of fact, we, the People hold all of the cards or as I like to say, we wear the Ruby Slippers. Learning the power they hold is our job, if we ever want to go back to "Kansas", or to the original meaning of the Constitution.

The 9th amendment to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution states:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

This is a disclaimer warning the 'government' of the existence of Rights that belong to the people, and are therefore a requirement and obligation of government to secure, that aren't enumerated within the context of the Constitution, exist and must be honored. Several of those Rights are listed in the Declaration of Independence and I have included some of those above but you can find them here: (http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm) and the Bill of Rights here: (http://www.constitution.org/billofr_.htm) and the Constitution outlining government limitations here: (http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm).

I seem to have ranted a bit, sorry. Back to my point, that being government has begun to spin radically out of control. Mainly, I suspect, due to the radicals now in the administration and the communist in the White House.

It (government) seems to have enjoined at least a fairly large number of environmental, social and political radicals bent on socialism without so much as a 'by your leave' to we, the People.
And as we have over the years 'tolerated' more and more intrusions on our liberties it begins to become a possibility that we may not act as responsible as we should in our duties as 'we, the People' and say enough is enough to this obvious over reaching of government authority.

Once you go beyond a certain point there is no turning back. It's called, interestingly enough, the point of no return. Where commitment to the end goal is all that is left. Return is out of the question.

We need to understand that well. Even though we are under a contract of considerable legal weight we have no Daniel Webster of rhetorical consequence willing to stand with us against such odds.

There comes a time when no amount of consequential action can be brought to bear effectively. This may be a good point from which to reflect upon our direction. What we have, what we have had and what we would like to leave to this world and our progeny once we have gone on.

Have we stood for the right things? Is America a good place? Have we earnestly, diligently and forthrightly tried to bring more good to the world than bad? Was this 'experiment' in Liberty a good thing? Would we like to leave the same thing we believed we had to our children? or not?

In any case it may be time to clear the table and prepare for renewal, one way or the or the other.

2010-03-02T09:12:00.000-08:00

Progressives (or 'Regressives' as the 'Animal Farm' blog like to call them) like to say that they want 'well educated citizens', well I beg to differ.
I believe that progressives (regressives) want a better indoctrinated citizenry. And that is why they have deleted history from our public schools history books and inserted progressive dogma in it's place.

They have stopped teaching that America is a good place and that our motives are honorable. Instead they teach that we are inherently a bad nation, that we have ulterior motives, that business (free markets) are bad (but they are okay with socialized or government controlled markets). That we try our best and some times fall short, as does every one, isn't even considered.

Recently it was revealed that text book companies don't even want to include our nations history before 1880, the beginning of the 'progressive' (regressive) era, and they have revised history sufficiently to make reading your children' text books make you feel as though you aren't even in America any longer.

It is part of a plan, no not a 'conspiracy', a plan to deconstruct the nation and move totally into socialism. Our history from 1880 to now has been filled with episodes of progressive, socialist and communist policy being submitted before our politicians BY politicians in an attempt to lure them into the path of temptation. And it has worked... well.

The modern progressive era began in earnest with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Both were tyrants intolerable of 'We the People.'

Privately calling the people too 'ignorant', 'unsuited,' 'uneducated,' to direct politicians and policy of a nation that should be lead by "the educated elites."

They actually believed that they could "read the collective mind" of the people and could direct the nation by using this divine insight better without the constraints of "Constitutional" government. I can't believe how much better I understand the progressive movement after reading "Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism".

Wilson was a prolific writer, even by today's standards. Although most of his writing is no longer in print he penned more than 80 books. He was a Ph.d and believed himself to be of near unequaled intellectual capability. His views were unassailable. Even though they openly derided the public and spoke with open hostility about our founders, our founding, Constitutional government, our political process and many, many other issues that seem to defy logic.

He used twisted logic to subvert the Contract with America that is our Constitution and to belittle citizens on the one hand and when it suited his needs he would turn the logic around and use it with some veneer of acceptance. He out right penned the outline that is right now at this very moment being used to subvert our nations political process and our ownership in that process.

The study of Political Science as it is taught today revolves around the study of 'progressives' and in POLYSCI classes your required reading list includes a host of indoctrination material that supports the view that our POTUS has, even though he is a "constitutional scholar" what he studied was how to subvert the process.

Claims that the Constitution must be viewed through the lens of recent history is the EXACT same views that Wilson had. Instead of viewing the Constitution as the "rules of the game", as they would insist if we were to play the game, they view the Constitution as a antiquated document that is outdated and outmoded.

Like any good progressive, they want to change the rules of the game to suit them as soon as it becomes clear that they may not get what it is that they believe they deserve from life. Wilson as much as stated that very motivation as his. Today, you can literally see the plan, yes, it was a plan, that Wilson outlined being implemented right before your very eyes.

The likes of Schumer, Boxer, Fienstien, obama, Pelosi, Reid and countless others that have been indoctrinated into POLYSCI in our liberal institutions of higher education that openly and with clear hostility attack America and Americans and deny opposing view points even a grade! and graduation if necessary, have flawlessly turned a Constitutional government into a near parliamentary form of government on the floor of the house. While behind the scenes they wheel and deal with big business, finance, insurance companies and others to sell Americans out and in the process make themselves rich.

I know, it sounds too far fetched to be real. Well, all I can say is two things, get to reading and two these guys broke the government the same way they broke the school system. They indoctrinate newbies with their lies, since they hold the seats of power, they can dictate the process and by ensuring progressives control our schools from K-12, secondary and post secondary they control the message being disseminated through text books, lectures, commentary, home work, required reading and more.

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg is a great and occasionally funny book that uses contemporary news, issues and views to illustrate the wide spread use of fascist techniques in the seemingly desperate effort to establish progressive socialism in this country by teachers, politicians and the media and the useful idiots that support them.

Context is like Kryptonite to the movement. Educate yourself and liberalism will magically appear right before your eyes as the way our government does ALL of it's business. Including Bush. The technique of creating 'crises' and 'enemies' is one of the very first tools of the fascism tool box.

Other techniques like the one Pelosi is now using to claim "common ground" with the Tea Partiers are also part of the tool kit. Pelosi is openly hostile toward the TP movement calling them 'Astroturf' and other more descriptive terms. She mis states their positions, attacks their motivations and leadership and then attempts to co opt their movement. This is directly out of Ted Kennedy's play book. I watched him describe the technique on a documentary.

Evidently it's too difficult to construct logical rhetoric in a fashion that could over power the opposition even by the "educated elites". Pointing up the obvious; that if no argument can be constructed powerful enough to sway the popular understanding to their point of view without lies and deception then it would seem that the final destination is less than attractive for those of us being taken there.

The assumption that we have been electing "honest" men and women to go to D.C. and perform an 'honorable' function has been a false one. As soon as they are indoctrinated and find that they can't get on a powerful committee or submit a Bill for consideration or do a host of other things that are part of their jobs without bowing to the powerful and taking up their causes while holding their tongues in public they become one of the 'gang.' They have virtually no choice. It's like being gang raped by people you once respected in order to become one of them.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and my political aspirations and ambitions are non existent beyond my civic duty and obligation. But there is one thing that tweeks me more than anything else, and that is being set up (over and over) to be made a fool of. I can make a fool of myself on my own thank you very much. Ignorance has a way of doing that. And that is why I'm re-educating myself.

My children believe that they are going to inherit the Rights and responsibilities that accompany the Constitution and that the Declaration was a principled statement of dissent by Honorable people of Honorable intent for the noble purpose of liberating themselves and eventually others from the tyranny of oppressive government. I can't bear to tell them that this dream that many people will never know (ever) may soon disappear from our dreams as well. And all due to my apathy (and others) and lack of holding our politicians feet to the proverbial fire, as was the original intent.

It's up to us. And ONLY us, to change this magilla back to the way it should be. If it means that some politicians have to go to prison, so be it. If it means politicians have to sell cars, well that would be a step up for most of them. And today, we find that our government is in fact in the automobile business and selling cars.
Go figure.

We have to do this, Americans. We might not like it but it has to be done. Let's not forget our immigrant brothers and sisters who have come here legally with the dream that we too want to leave to our children as well as theirs.

And notice it's the ILLEGAL immigrants that want the socialist form of government. Why do you suppose that is?

School shooting or Retaliation for Socialist manipulation

2010-02-12T17:58:00.000-08:00

In no way do I ever condone violence. Disclaimer now aside, schools all across the nation have been laughing up their sleeves for years as they know they are the fundamental tool for the manipulation of our youth and have modeled themselves after progressive socialist systems for decades as they direct scholastic, social and international socialist instruction at the next generation wholesale and free of interference.

Unions have taken control of major civil and social infrastructures under false pretenses. They have used their memberships funding and political influence to promote progressive socialist agendas while manipulating members themselves with techniques learned from past socialist systems designed and executed in the exact same fashion.

"Professors" have taken to the image of themselves as the progressive socialist programmers of the next generation of 'software', our children.

They deny scholastic credentials to deniers of their philosophies while benefiting from the "tuition" fees and other funding methodologies based in tax payer subsidies.

Using the same techniques as the drug trafficking cabals they ostracize, excommunicate or exile those who have differing opinions while claiming the protection of sanctuary offered by the vestibule of educational deference, inappropriately I might add, for their 'non populist' views under anti discrimination protections while controlling the very metrics used and how they are applied under the umbrella of those protections.

This also has been a learned behavior as well as one taught to America by intimidation through the techniques learned from progressive socialist movements of the past.

We see this used against us by the ACLU, CAIR and many other organizations who claim the protections of our laws while their intent clearly demonstrates subversive intentions. We allow it out of the goodness of our hearts.

Schools have laughed up their sleeves for a long time at the "foolish little people" who fund their movement, their salaries, their infrastructure, their curriculum, their MO. We have supported it without complaint. We have paid increased taxes. We have paid tuition's that have exceeded inflation by 3 times a year for decades. We have tolerated curriculum changes that made no sense and were contrary to common sense and educational advancement and achievement.

We have accepted curriculum that was handed down to us by international progressive socialist agendas via fiat, not according to American law. The U.N. has dictated much of the tripe that is now standard fare in our public schools.

Schools have exercised their power over civil and social development with trite glee, excluding difference of creative thought after using that very technique to gain their toe hold into the system. Once in control they have denied any variance of thought with an iron fist.

To expect that this would go undefended by people with a divergence of creative thought equally intelligent and due equal respect is foolish to the furthest realm of foolish. People have (in this particular instance I'm referring to) spent fortunes, their youth, their intellectual prowess and a good deal of energy to excel and then arbitrarily been denied due to ideology.

I can't say that this shouldn't be expected behavior as tyranny doesn't breed stable social or civil infrastructures. And our educational system has intentionally bread this outcome. What's surprising is that the tools of this effort, the professors, didn't realize that they would eventually be the target of outrage by people they were themselves victimizing with intent on multiple levels and doing it with considerable enjoyment.

What this reveals is the real imbecilic nature of these 'intellectuals' and their naivete with regard to the means of the system they have embraced and now given considerable kinetic energy to, at least at the 'work a day' level. At the union leadership levels I expect that they already knew there would a certain number of "sacrificed" who have to be victimized for the advancement of the movement.

Again reveling the "use" of the lower level useful idiots at the working level of professorships that will arbitrarily and randomly be sacrificed by people who can't see they are (or maybe they do) being victimized by the system that they have built as a result of the intimidation exercised by the progressive socialist educational movement.

It truly breaks my heart to see people, even the swine in the educational field, killed by people who have lost control of their facilities. I would prefer that these pigs loose on the same field that they have sowed. Americans can over come this with the same thing we have always overcome similar obstacles with: objectivity and intellect. To revert to anything else detracts from the final act no matter what the out come.

And this brings up the real point and that is that you can't take this carp too seriously. Life is a game. Some people win others loose still others break even. But in all cases you can't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive. Going all in and rolling the dice should be only for the gamers. But if you are serious and you loose it or you will destroy yourself and those you love. And it's just not worth it.

The most righteous 'win' is the win on the terms of the opponent. If that's possible. Unfortunately the rules have been corrupted right before our eyes and in many cases with our consent by the whining, cry baby left who have used our compassion and empathy as tools against us, to our chagrin. But in most cases with our knowledge. Now, that's not so much the case. But in the past it was. We are catching on these days. They are out in the light of day, just like the terrorists. Their ideology is exposed. Now it becomes a test of wills, of commitment to principle, of faith.

Do we persevere? Or do we cave? Even if we loose if we hold to our principles we win in the end. Hearts and minds aren't won by ideology. Only policy and dogma result from the conception and institution of non populist socialist doctrine. Once socialist dogma is instituted no one likes it except the elites, who hold all of the cards at that point. So it becomes clear that the fight leading up to the final act is vitally important in it's screen play. Don't forget your part. It's the starring role; you are the patriot and the victor.

"Health Care" is desinged to increase the size of Government

2010-02-11T19:09:00.000-08:00

It really doesn't matter what side you are on, Health Care is designed for one thing and one thing ONLY. And that is to increase the size of government. PERIOD.

Socialist progressive (democrat) or GOP the result is only one thing:Increased size of government.

If either side gave a RATS ASS about health care they would attack the PROBLEM and not the SYMPTOM. The symptom is increased cost of health care. Not HEALTH CARE itself.

What is the cause of increased cost of health care? Lawsuits? Government regulation? Restrictions on industry?

What we need is TORT reform. We need less government intrusion not more. We are being manipulated and we are being screwed all for political ambition.

The people have to come to the conclusion that THEY are the machine. We don't need to be listening to polls that tell us what politicians think or feel or what their perceptions are. WE are their purpose. We are their reason for being. When they diverge from OUR plan they need to be excised, immediately. Like the cancer they are.

We need to be able to institute impeachment with in three months or faster, no more. Politicians are no longer on OUR side. Not ONE. All are self serving and MOST are socialist progressive.

That means they are subversives. Anti American. Anti freedom. Anti liberty. You can no longer believe what they tell you. Truth has no meaning. It's all relative. And since the end justifies the means there is no reason, no logic no rationale that can be applied, no argument that can justify the action.

ONLY principled sustained action can now be the test of INTENT. No other agenda, no other 'plan', no other 'proposal', no possible claim can be justified without sustained principled action.

All of the PC crap, all of the hypothetical BS, all of the crisis hype is designed to distract, cause sympathy, engender empathy and compassion. It's designed to put EVERY ONE on their asses in defense of an offensive BLITZ.

We are being actively subverted by an organized effort that penetrates DEEPLY into our government to destroy our present form of government. Lies and deceit are the TOOLS of this blitzkrieg. Socialist progressivism is the movement and fascism is the technique and communism is the destiny.

I'm not making this up. It has been stated by the media, printed, TV and radio broadcast. It's not a 'conspiracy' it's out there in the open. It's wide spread and it's widely acclaimed, admitted, supported and endorsed by intellectuals, politicians, journalists, professors, publishers and the uneducated minions, followers.

Socialist progressives not only support and encourage eugenics but actively lobby for it. Feminism is a tool of eugenics. Abortion is a tool of eugenics. HEALTH CARE REFORM is a tool of eugenics.

You and I are TOO STUPID to be allowed to make our own decisions. We can't tell global warming from global cooling. We can't tell financial irresponsibility from from sound fiscal policy. We can't determine sound public, social, national or international policy. We can't determine spending from saving. Jobs from unemployment. We need government to tell us the difference.

We are being GAMED. We are being played for fools. Americans are and always have been the best and the brightest. We have been and are the best hope for not just America but the entire world. Without us their is no hope. If we let government to bamboozle us with PC BS we loose. We need to take control back, it's ours! WE OWN government, not the other way around.

Watching the lie, do you believe what you are seeing?

2010-02-10T14:26:00.000-08:00

As we all witness the record breaking sub freezing temperatures as far south as Miami and record breaking snows this year in much of the nation previously well respected publications like, Time, are calling this a result of Global Warming.

If its' hot, it's global warming. If it's wet, it's global warming. If it's dry, it's global warming. If it's freezing, it's global warming. If it's record breaking snow fall, it's global warming.

If Americans buy this global warming BS while they are looking directly at the multiple pieces of evidence that show this is nothing but a lie. If Americans buy this P. T. Barnum was 100% correct. You can fool most of the people some of the time.

Believing this crap in the face of clear evidence that obviously states the opposite means that not only Americans but the entire world can't believe their own eyes. This isn't a product of global warming. El Nino is not a symptom of global warming.

What we are watching is evidence that we are being lied to. But we are also watching the biggest collection of snake oil salesmen and liars mankind has ever seen try to get us to fall for the magic trick: getting people to believe that their own eyes are fooling them and only these people know the real truth.

If we buy this we are ready for the final act. We can be sold anything if we buy this crap. The people who we see selling this should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail, all over the world. We can't abide fools. And we especially can't abide fools as our leaders. Worse, we can't abide liars and deceivers as leaders. And we are being lied to and we are being deceived. And we have the evidence to prove it.

I know that we have been told for a long time now that us common folk can't think, that we need the elite to think for us, to tell us what to believe because we can't believe our own eyes or our own thoughts because we are too stupid to come to conclusions. Especially correct conclusions.

Don't be fooled. What you are seeing is the truth. Truth is not relative. It is based in facts and observation. That truth is the fundamental corner stone of science, or it was. Now we are being told that (our) observation is wrong. Only their 'interpretation' of observation has meaning. What kind of a lie is that?

You buy this BS and you are putting a target on your back for every manor of lie, just like a lottery winner becomes the target of all sorts of "needy" you buy this and you make us suckers for ever.

Claims that global warming "alarmists" have been saying that Global Warming will increase snowfall are and have been directed at covering both sides of the isle while offering no substance from either side. In the shadow of the CRU revelations we now know that these claims are so much horse shit and fear mongering.

We know what dew points are. We understand humidity levels. We know what the moisture capacity of the atmosphere "is". I'm tired of being played for a fool. This is a overt attempt to intimidate and demean common people as though they were idiots.

Atmospheric "moisture" levels are not "significantly" higher, resulting in higher precipitation levels. This is a direct play on the accusation that common people are idiots by politicians and global warming alarmists. People that allow this attack to stand enable to these weasels to further walk over you.

Government regulators in the pocket of lobbyists?

2010-02-09T16:33:00.000-08:00

Well, as Toyota suffers through massive recalls and our government trumpets those efforts in order to enlarge the GM (government motors) perspective. But today it was revealed that Insurers informed government "regulators" in 2007 about some of these issues, bringing focus to the growing evidence that Government Regulators are in the pockets of lobbyists begging for more time or leniency in applying regulations.

Raising suspicions that the housing bubble now being blamed for the financial "recession" that is really a depression was the fault of regulators like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and others, who ignored warning signs and embraced demands by social engineering groups like A.C.O.R.N. to increase loans to unsecured borrowers in the face of clear signs that economic stress indicators were flagging such reckless policies as irresponsible.

Despite the fact that several warnings were announced regulators continued to ignore warnings while being influenced by lobbyists to do so by the application of monetary influence favoring the democrats and regulators, also democrats.

It's becoming more and more clear that government regulators are to blame for the financial disaster we and the world are now in the embrace of and the evidence is becoming irrefutable.

By election time this year we should have a very clear picture of who and why a very complicated regulatory system failed at each and every level to see this train wreck coming for years before it actually and finally left the tracks, costing tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions) of Americans dozens of years of equity (at the very least) and years if not decades more of recovery, taxes, increased regulation and government policy changes before they can regain their previous economic affluence.

And this all because of politicians who ignored their fiscal duties in favor of lobbyist influences that made them more wealthy while we were sacrificed.

If you are an American and you have been working for years to achieve something to leave to your children or the next generation as a marker of our accomplishment you (and I) have been had by our own politicians for their self aggrandizement. This should raise your ire to levels not ever seen before. And it should motivate you to can the incumbents this fall for anyone never before elected, but hopefully for a candidate more in favor of representative Constitutional government.

Why no Leadership from Obama?

2010-02-08T08:47:00.000-08:00

Like me, we've all been watching obama for the last year. And one thing has distinctly been missing from him, from his rhetoric and from his administration in general. And that is Leadership. Classic and in desperate short supply at htis vital juncture in our history, leadership has no substitute.
He came from a previous 'political' position as a senator from the state of Illinois with a total of about two months in that seat before he began his campaign for the presidency. After that he never again represented his home state.
But how did he get to the point where he could even run for the senate? That is the real story. And although I don't claim to know or even understand all of the vital events that had to occur to enable him to successfully complete that task, one thing is obvious and clear. And that is that he didn't do it alone.

He had a 'machine' surrounding him. He didn't 'lead' an effort to become elected, he was used to advance the effort of a pre established "community organization" intent on presenting their agenda as their platform. He assumed that role when asked and became the face and the voice of that agenda.

Community organization, especially as it pertains to A.C.O.R.N., is a highly structured and well developed politically driven group with socialist ideologies. Board meetings, memos, SOPs and training are only a few of the standardized approaches applied to 'employees' of this organization. Combined with reward for approved actions and behaviors, discipline and excommunication are frequent actions taken against those they disapprove of.

Obama was a cog in an ideological machine, not the primary driver of a principled effort. What's the difference? For starters ideology usually revolves around a specific few. In the case of A.C.O.R.N. it's the poor American black people who (they feel) have been used by society.
Oddly, it's those same people that A.C.O.R.N. uses to advance it's agenda in much the same way that Jesse Jacksons R.A.I.N.B.O.W. Push organization did against companies it deemed under represented American blacks in their employee populations. Sort of an extortion based effort to drum up revenues.
A.C.O.R.N. has been very active in leveraging the American tax payers for their revenues rather than taking the more direct approach that J.Jackson used so effectively.

What has this to do with leadership? Group think. Corporate direction and goals. These things don't easily metabolize leadership because they are driven by ideology or specific goals of the group. Leadership implies personal or individual vision that develops in it's originator and becomes well received by a wider and wider range of people as they become informed about the ideas.

It's not an ideology pushed downward, it's brilliance that naturally rises to the top. This isn't even close to the way obama came to be in his position.

As I implied earlier, he was installed in his position for the tools he had in his tool box just like any employee.

Ever hear that "leaders aren't made, they're born"?

That's because natural leadership isn't a learned skill. Although leadership can be developed and fostered, natural leadership comes from individual vision and a innate understanding of people, their desires, needs and wants. Obama demonstrates none of those qualities. And his hands off approach to his administration speaks loudly to his lack of leadership.

Community organization groups have plan that they all work toward. Obama has his organization plan for America and he is letting everyone do their part to advance it without his involvement.

America comes with it's own plan since it's inception. Small constitutional government, individual freedom and liberty and equal justice under the law.

Community organizers don't like that plan and want to 'level' the playing field according to their terms. At it's most basic this is socialist in it's precepts. Evidence to this point in the administration points directly to this approach while words are used as a distraction actions demonstrate truth.

Even national magazine publications have proclaimed "America has become Socialist" with enthusiasm and glee.

Leadership is headed for a bygone era, and America is in danger of becoming just another tool for elites to entrench themselves at the expense of the rest of us. Precluding the once uniform opportunity for any one to become a key player if they applied themselves.

Group think or community organizations that use (and all do) collectivism to establish goals, policies and beliefs threaten to limit natural leadership, individual liberty and freedom by restricting those things and pushing for their goals. Leadership becomes muted in these conditions and we see that with obama. He is not a leader, he is part of a group think effort to remake (his words)
America in a different image.

His words say he doesn't believe the constitution is or should be the document it was written as! He thinks (his words) that his vision of America should supplant the original vision, so well conceived and thought out. He explains that a more socialist approach is the better approach. This isn't leadership either. It's ideology brought forward. That isn't vision. It's following failed dogmas of the past.

No socialist system has ever been anything except a tool to oppress the 'underlings' by elites. And only violent destructive means have ever allowed a toe hold for individual achievement in those societies making corruption and manipulation the corner stones of those governments.

The lack of leadership that obama carries like a flag with him is a threat to every American today and tomorrow. His first year in office has made that crystal clear. We teeter on the edge of national annihilation in only twelve months because of his advancement of group think ideologies while ignoring the BKMs for repairing the gaping holes that history has provided us. Suggesting he not only lacks leadership and it's associated vision but he lacks the ability to learn or comprehend when faced with changing circumstances.

Obama as a 'smart' man

2010-02-01T15:41:00.000-08:00

I've heard it, I'm sure you have also; "Obama is brilliant!"

The left spews this rhetoric as though there is no requirement for substantiation. But for a president that has had a speech every day for the last year and claims to understand, he seems to know a lot less than he claims.

He doesn't understand Americans. He doesn't understand economics. He doesn't understand politics. He doesn't understand diplomacy. He doesn't understand trade. He doesn't understand, or care from where he derives his authority.

Either that, or he doesn't care about any of that at all. And this is where I believe we are, he in fact doesn't care. He in fact has a plan that was fairly well past the out line phase when he was elected into the senate and immediately began his campaign for the presidency.

It requires 'fundamental' change of the construct that is our Constitutional Republican form of government.

One of the reasons that our form of government hasn't been instituted any where else in the world is because it is painful. It requires work and due diligence. It requires participation by ALL of the players. You and me, our politicians, judges and paper entities (companies, corporations et. al.) It's a responsibility and a duty.

People hate that these days. I relished gaining responsibility all of my life. I deeply wanted to be relied upon. To be trusted. To be honorable. I knew I was capable and worthy.

Today, people aren't like that at all. Avoiding responsibility and trust are the real goals today. (http://www.breakpoint.org/features-columns/articles/954-our-adolescent-culture) Today we want to act like children until we die.

But I digress. Our president doesn't seem to be able to comprehend what is being communicated to him or convey his own intent. And that is worrisome. A global leader that can't communicate effectively, and if I remember my communications correctly, listening is more than half of communicating because it requires active participation by the listener. They must comprehend the content, emotion, logic and motivation of the person(s) speaking and then understanding them by enjoining what is commonly understood to be 'compassion' or 'empathy'.

Presently the president only believes he is required to lecture the citizens, call them names and to dictate ideology while ignoring concerns of cost in terms of financing, jobs and competition. Which suggests that some underlying motivation is driving the president. One he chooses not to share his 'vision' of with those that will be the paying for it, manning it, building it, maintaining it. And that all seems a bit odd, to me.

When I remember back to the leadership classes I took in the military, the leadership positions I held there and the leadership positions I have held in private industry since then I can't recall the point, in the many hours of classes, where ignoring those you were leading was taught.

While both the military and private industry require leaders to perform to a level where, at times, tough decisions must be made and even tougher actions taken, at no time was it reasonable or expected that those being led would be ignored or run over. As a matter of fact, I found leadership to be the most rewarding and challenging job I ever have had. I was able to achieve results, in many cases, where others only garnered frustration and disappointment.

"Fundamentally," I have to wonder at the direction of our 'leadership.' None of the principles of leadership are used or referenced. This suggests not necessarily a lack of leadership but a different behavior altogether; domination.

Yes, I know the difference.

It seems to me that in times of economic distress that a reduction in government control is the real direction that should be taken. And in times of economic fortune a more assertive intrusion (by government) might be (more) easily accepted by those on the 'growth' end of the curve, rather than the present direction where vastly increased spending, punitive regulation, taxation and spiteful retribution for aid combine to work against low economic output, increased unemployment, stolen equity and vanishing individual wealth.

All of these things are strongly suggestive of a huge lash back that will include wild inflation, loss of sovereignty and increased tyranny.

Politics as usual despite rhetoric

2010-02-01T12:42:00.000-08:00

As I usually do I was listening to the radio this morning and I learned that the new budget proposal was submitted and that claims of fiscal responsibility were greatly exaggerated.

As the news was disclosed that claims of revenue to off set (some of) the expenses were coming from the Cap and Trade Act. I was stunned!
The last I knew the Cap and Trade Act hadn't passed! As it turns out there is revenue being claimed in fact by the budget bill as though the Cap and Trade Act had indeed passed when in fact it has NOT!

Now, I don't care who you are for, republicans or democrats or some thing in between, this is wrong in the most vile and despicable way. But it goes beyond this, as the real problem is that the Cap and Trade Act is going to "be passed" one way or another, just as the Health Care Bill passage has been "guaranteed" to pass by progressive political coup from both houses by 'side car legislation'.

Every one knows what 'side car legislation' is and that it has been used as a progressive tool for passage of unpopular legislation by both sides of the aisle for many years. But when Americans act to stop legislation by vast popular movement and politicians move to subvert that voice we have reached a point in American politics where the line has been crossed with malice and contempt to trample the peoples will.

This is the government tyranny that our fore fathers warned us was coming from the days of our nations founding. It has arrived. Our government has over stepped it's limits and done so with considerable contempt for you and me.

We the People are not just words on a piece of paper. We the people are in fact the People of this nation. We are the voice and the purpose of government being commissioned with specific limited and enumerated duties. Government doesn't tell us what it should do, we tell government what it should do. And what it should do is legally and definitively outlined in the Constitution of these United States.

We are the voice of our government. We are the machine that is the economic power of this nation. We are the social and cultural web that binds America. We are Americans! We are not slaves. We are not tools of government. We are not fodder for political advantage of elites. Yet that is exactly how we are being treated!

I have to tell you that I have had little confidence in Americans to act and do the right thing in the past. Recently I have seen a wide reaching effort by Americans that is making me, happily, eat my words. Hopefully, I will have to be reminded of my under estimating Americans for a good long time. And I will learn that you can't do that to Americans.

Now it becomes really sticky, because now Americans have to do the right thing. And that thing is to take back their government from these politicians! these elites, these swine that have robbed us of our due possession. Government belongs to us! We have paid for it, we have bled for it and we have cried for it. We must not let it slip from our grasp! Once it is beyond our reach we will not likely be able to regain our grasp.

Big 'O's firswt SOTU Address

Well, well. If there is one thing that will reveal your real intent it's your actions.

The POTUS's first SOTU address was a cornucopia of innuendo and his own failures and his ambitions. And it wasn't nearly as cloaked as one might have previously believed it would be.

Deceit and lies are part of the "fundamental" change the POTUS promised and his first SOTU address provided the proof of his intentions. He was ambiguous, disingenuous, deceitful. He misdirected, was inaccurate, inarticulate and naive.

He tried with intent to imply things that weren't true even in the remotest sense. As though Americans wouldn't be able to discover or understand the truth. An overt attempt to lie or deceive.

This so called president is working to confuse and distract Americans from the truth. Any truth. The last thing that this president want's is for Americans to know what he is trying to do at the 'fundamental' level. That is deceit. A lie with intent to lie.

He claims to be a 'constitutional lawyer' or 'scholar'. Yet demonstrates no intent to uphold constitutional limits, restrictions, affirmations or powers and derides the other branch of government that doesn't uphold his tyrannical declarations. He shamefully derided the Supreme Court decision that stated it was constitutionally illegal to limit donations to political parties because you were an opponent of socialist government.

Either he is an idiot or not what he claims to be.

He claimed outright that he would not respect the other branches opposition by stating he would write an executive order to circumvent the will of the other bodies in order to advance his own will.

You don't have to be a "constitutional scholar" to know this is spiteful, divisive, exclusive and originates in self delusion and national hatred. And displays an attitude of retribution and antagonism rather than the claims of 'cooperation' and compromise.

Saying one thing and doing another. Lying. Deceit. Contempt.

It's obviously up to Americans as to what they will believe but if you can't see what is actually happening by virtue of actual behavior vs rhetoric then you are a fool waiting to be duped. If you can't or won't recognize fact vs lie by virtue of either self delusion of ideological bent then you are a fool waiting to be duped. If you can't or won't recognize the truth because you favor an specific outcome vs what is right, you are a fool waiting to be duped.

While I have my own desires for outcomes, when I don't get my way I don't cry like a baby and I don't call people names. I don't want to subvert America for my own benefit or for the benefit of a political ideology while reaping benefits for myself or while not reaping benefits for myself.

I want America to perpetually be available for future generations to try to achieve their dreams without government domination. Only the weak want government to hand them some thing. I'm not weak. And while I may fall over time that is the way of even the strong. Eventually we all fall. I don't want others carrying me when they could be doing for themselves and their families.

The present administration wants to promote a socialist type of government. Why? No idiot left behind?

If you can't pull your own weight in the present economic condition you fall. In a socialist model they want to make that decision for you at their discretion. What's the difference except that it's out of your control?

The POTUS stated outright things that we all know aren't true. He made insinuations that we all know weren't true. He claimed to support things that he has shown us clearly that he doesn't support. He claimed to be against things that he has equally clearly shown us he does support.

He blamed Bush again as though we hadn't heard that he HATES Bush. He hasn't been able to get over Bush in more than a year. When can we expect the POTUS to give US his focus and get his mind off of Bush and back on the problems at hand? When can we expect that he will take responsibility rather than assign blame while claiming no control?

These tactics are strongly reminiscent of Chavez, Castro, Ill, Amadinajab and others. Denial and pointing to others while wanting to claim the glory when the time is right is not leadership. It's cowardice.

The POTUS was disrespectful of the Supreme Court in a cowardly way. He was disingenuous and disrespectful.

He is politically immature and diplomatically unsavvy. As a man he is adolescent in his beliefs and his behavior. In short he is a fool in the highest office of the land and Americans and America are in jeopardy.

The Paradox that is Haiti

2010-01-18T09:48:00.000-08:00

President Clinton was interviewed on Fox News Sunday sitting next to President Bush in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake and shilled for the U.N. and financial aide for Haiti while stating that "..there are more than 10,000 aid agencies in Haiti.." at present. ??!

So let me get this straight; President Clinton, who is the U.N. ambassador to Haiti and has been for a number years and has had more than 10,000 aid agencies resident there at his direction all receiving funding from every conceivable manor of financial instrument hasn't made a dent the size of a softball in the "infrastructure", political landscape, educational resources or the attitudes of the mere 10 million people of Haiti?

Haiti is 10,714 square miles and has a population of over 10,000,000. Massachusetts is only slightly smaller at 10,555 square miles and as of 2000 has a population of 6,349,097 and ranks 13th in population. Hawaii is slightly larger at 10,932 square miles and has a population of 1,211,537 and ranks 42nd in population. By comparison Manhattan is 22.7 square miles with a population of over 7,000,000. Both of these states have great wealth and entrepreneurship. Both reflect the modern socialist movement but neither of them has 10,000 aid agencies at their disposal.

An aid agency for every 1,000 people? and the place still was/is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere if not on earth? Just how long do you have to pour resources down a bottomless pit before you begin to think there is a better use for them some where else?

When do people begin to realize that the policies of dependence are really policies of poison that destroy rather than build? These 'instruments' are not designed to build or rebuild at all. They are designed to create dependence and to keep people at the tellers window for every possible human need. They aren't being used to allow or foster entrepreneurship by the people, but are in fact used to perpetuate the wealth of those behind the window where each person must come kneel before the holder of the resource to receive 'their share', just enough to keep them for a short period until they must return to renew their 'faith' in the face of the holders of every thing they need.

The money that has been and now once again is going to be sent to Haiti could have paved every road and built every home and every public building. It could have provided sound businesses and shopping centers. It could have provided every person with enough individual wealth to keep those businesses going for decades.
But where is that money? What resource development has it been used for? What infrastructure was developed for the people? Sure, hospitals, orphanages, and a couple of schools were built. But where did the money go?

Vox Day wrote this editorial in Monday Jan. 18, 2010 edition of WND (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=122257) pointing out that Haiti, like many recipients of the largess of generous people every where, hasn't really benefited from that investment. But several U.N. officials have. Several Haitian government officials and 'businesses' have. Several aid agencies, 10,000 of them, have perpetuated their existence and their tenuous hold on the people.

This doesn't pass the smell test for me. How long do 10,000 aid agencies have to be some where before they have the effect of the immense investment of money and resources at their disposal? You could rebuild that entire nation in less time than they have been there and most likely with half of the expense. Some thing is not right here.

"Charity" is a business. It's a tool. And it is controlled by government and U.N. policies. Figure it out. This is another vector for the financial advancement of a specific few in the international community. If these so called 'aid' agencies were only half as effective as they claim to be the world would be a great place for every one.

Either President and Ambassador Clinton isn't as influential or resourceful as one would expect considering the size of Haiti or some unknown factor is truncating effective use of resources there.

When you review the results from the Tsunami 5 years ago and the financial resources that were literally thrown at that event more money was LOST than is presently committed to the Haiti disaster. Granted Haiti is smaller by scale, but the point is that no small amount has been already been reserved for this disaster. Did you get that? LOST! LOST!

Now, I'm no rocket scientist but I can follow the bouncing ball. Your money is being misappropriated. It's being used for making some people very wealthy under the guise of 'charity' while not providing the 'service' it is being sold as being used for.

The same with the money that has been hauled into the Katrina impact zone. More than $1Billion dollars has been sent into that area and it has barely impacted the visible recovery of vast areas of that disaster zone. It's obvious that corruption is rampant.

I'm not saying that charity isn't good or that it isn't needed. I'm saying that we have created, allowed, permitted, cultivated a culture of using these kinds of events for selfish ambition and personal wealth creation while, basically, denying these resources to those people and things in need of that directed resource. And we don't care. It's like a kind of heartless compassion. We give but we don't care about the results of our generosity. We don't care if we get our moneys worth or if the people who were the intended benefactors actually do in fact benefit from it. We gave and that's all that's important. Now, get out of my face.

I hope that some how this disaster will give us pause to reconsider the process and results we expect and the real benefit that must be achieved for effective recovery for life to flourish in the face of this disaster.

Socialist reconstructionist movment concealed in plain sight or coincidence?

2010-01-13T14:40:00.000-08:00

Let's talk about foundations, futures, intent and goals.

If we (you or me), are concerned about our individual or even our collective 'tomorrow' or what we call "future" what do we do today to make that tomorrow even come close to the vision in our thoughts?

In the early days of America people were quite independent. Many lived a fair piece (walk or horse ride) from town. Of course, that was for a host of reasons. Not the least of which could be that it took a significant sized piece of land to produce enough food and sustain enough livestock to feed a family and trade for goods they themselves didn't or couldn't produce for themselves.

Towns were where proprietors resided, and where the seat of the local government or leadership could be found for the convenience of most.

As time went on and as smart people began to consider the future, the works of the economist Adam Smith (The Wealth of Nations ~1764) became part of a philosophy of not just growth but of community as well and influenced their thoughts. The division of labor that Smith outlined was a fundamental truth and a model for social growth and prosperity. And ever since it has been the model of socioeconomic growth. Henry Ford used it to great advantage and scale. Today it's ingrained as THE way to make the most of resources and productivity.

It wasn't a large leap for the settlers to embrace this new idea. Since they already were using a disconnected version of the same thing, a system called barter, where needs that you couldn't provide for in your own labor possibly were part of your neighbors productivity and could be traded for something you had or produced.

As proprietorship increased and towns became more populated it was a natural consideration to make them centers of not only distribution but also manufacturing. As the demands increased on towns as the center of trade it became clear that something had to be done to address the increased demands on the infrastructure.

Power generation, Waste removal. Social hygiene. All became the concerns of those living in close proximity to towns. They decided that they had to include these things as part of their societies for the benefit of everyone concerned.

The primary consideration was how to construct a convenient effective affordable but durable infrastructure of adequate complexity and flexibility to meet the needs of a community that had every intention of continuing to grow.

Soon the word was out and the brains came together to put their two cents worth into the mix. A plan was developed and over time it developed into our present system of social construction (civil engineering). Over those many years it became obvious that the investment up front in a smart approach paid large dividends.

Education was a big part of the early new world. Harvard was founded in 1636 and was primarily a Christian institution.

Today a college education is considered to be a near requirement for our early youth for 'success' in life. And is a significant burden financially on each and every family and or student no matter their monetary where with all.

So why is it so important to have a college education? Foundation. As the early settlers discovered building on bedrock ended up saving them in the long run when their foundation was laid and the structural components began to be assembled on it.

It was obvious that what was being taught at these institutions was of vital importance. Content was based on the truths of bedrock knowledge so that the foundations of a solid society could be built with confidence. The early successes of these institutions made them a natural recipient of endowments of the wealthy, those that had benefited from their intellectual development as a result of attending, business research, government research et. al. Soon they were wealthy organizations. And so it is to this day. Most sizable universities are sitting on considerable endowments.

Before too long the scholarly elite gravitated to the best institutions and made them their life's work. A movement that has continued to this day. Those interested in development of socioeconomic conditions allocated considerable time to the concept and realized that they held the keys to that development in their very classrooms.

It was the substance of their lectures that resulted in the compound that becomes the adhesive holding our structural world together. To say that the major contributors of the knowledge base that advanced our society felt as though they were given short shrift as their educational progeny made great contributions, and reaped great profit, while they themselves continued to earn meager wages by comparison might be a leap of imagination, or not.

But some where along the way these folks got together and decided that a new philosophy had to be promoted that was more equitable. And since they were the ones that sowed the seeds in the fertile young minds that represent the growth and direction of our future they looked to the theories of societies across the globe, if not at the actual results that those societies produced.

Secondary education is supposed to convince the student that theory, application and practicality many times do not intersect at an apex of benefit for all or even for specific circumstances, that priorities have to be determined and goals assigned before the steps of development can begin.

But education today has chosen a different path altogether. It promotes the U.N. agenda21 (http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/la21_198.html) (http://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=52), it teaches the GLTG agenda and life style and promotes sex with pre pubescent youth and in general is preoccupied with active sexual behaviors in the student population and with the students themselves (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53859). The proper donning of a condom demonstrated on various types of food items is one of the many changing priorities of our schools.

The 'sensitivity' to other cultures and religions (non Christian, only, of course), the "America" is a bad nation philosophy and whites are all racist apologist approach to homogeneous social interaction and more are all now common curriculum in most classrooms.

"Teachers", and I use that term very loosely all the way up to post secondary and graduate levels, have analyzed the elements of the adhesive that has held our social structure together and have discovered how they can have their desired effect on that structure, undermining it at the fundamental level. At the foundation.

Before construction begins bedrock is usually sought. In education today that step is excluded as they race to begin the social re-constructionist work of indoctrination of socialist principles at the earliest possible age to get the most influential impact on the fertile young minds that eagerly absorb the information as 'what is really important', while the real purpose of education is postponed until later, making it more difficult for the students. But that's not really a concern in a socialist community, government will leave no child behind.

By skipping the underpinnings of our foundation, the bedrock, and beginning the foundation we build on infirm ground. Exposing our social structure to the potential of catastrophic failure should a strong enough social "impact" or "crisis" be thrown at it. Coupled with changing the recipe of the 'adhesive' (culture) that binds society together by supplementing the fundamental elements of that 'adhesive' with "bad" elements (you are part of a 'bad' culture, America is 'bad') and substitute them with other unfamiliar elements or elements that we don't want or won't ever deal with we construct a weak flimsy social structure.

These present methods are really the window dressing, interior decoration and paint that would and should come once the construction approaches completion and we begin to add the finishing touches and readiness for the 'occupant' starts. For it is at this time that the 'big' picture can more accurately be determined by an informed perspective.

By doing this in reverse we commit to the natural abilities of 'indoctrinees' in a convoluted sort of 'weeding out' way rather than taking advantage of the "programmability" (for give my use of 'non' words, please) of the youthful human mind. Waiting to instruct on fundamental truths of language, calculations, and science that have unchanging non subjective properties so that highly subjective criteria that changes with demographics can be substituted is insane at first glance.

But on further consideration by indoctrinating youth with subjects that need to constantly be redefined by bureaucrats the results are that students will always look to those who define policy for what to think about the topics that follow throughout their education and their lives. Including intellectual topics, employment and life itself.

Viola! You have created a communist-'lite' or socialist society without the messy "revolution" of either political thought or worse, a out right revolt coming from the top down or from the middle out in all directions.

Combine this with the destructive policies of non assimilation policy applied to immigrants, borders so porous you could drive a regular Army division through them with out being detected from the North or the South, coastal access that is virtually vacant of surveillance, the baby citizen policy, the feet dry policy, the Department of State people of persecuted status visa program et. al., a policy of bringing in tens of thousands of of other refugees and placing them on government assistance all of which water down the culture of America (which they no longer teach in most schools today). No language requirements. No jobs for them and no requirement to have one. The result is the Balkinization of our society.
Viola! You've created an entirely separate 'under class' that is invisible to the bureaucratic machine put in place to monitor "born citizens" while forcing citizens to pay for it all.

I'm not anti immigrant at all. My family, like nearly ALL families that presently occupy a place on the shores of this nation (save native Americans) came here from another place. America is the result of those varied peoples ambitions. They came here to 'Be' American. They came to contribute. They came to build. They came to become some vision of something better than the vision where they were. And they succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations.

It seems that the burden of diligence of continuing the culture and the heritage of our nation has become too heavy to bear for our social leaders. The recipe of success has become flavorless sustenance in the perspective of many, much to the chagrin of those who have paid the price of freedom.

Without proof that some thing more sinister is going on I'd hate to suggest that communists have broken through the gates and are now among us impersonating freedom lovers and pretending to love our liberties. Lazy intellects and most likely lazy people who feel that life should be handed to them, along with a check.

But the structure of the dis-assembly of the freedoms and liberties that have been established by intent and considerable struggle and lives lived is far too orchestrated to be only a 'coincidence'. The directed, for lack of a better word, attack, is well organized, well funded, maned by ardent socialists, enjoys a frighteningly large group of supporters and resources that would cost a significant amount if it had to be purchased. This, I believe, is in fact an attack on America, Americans and the American lifestyle. For it's those things that are the substance of the focus of the progressive socialist liberals.

It's been said that Soros funds a strong progressive resource network and in fact it is common knowledge that he in fact does. (http://seekingalpha.com/article/126165-george-soros-reflexivity-and-market-reversals). His theory on economic reflexivity pits capitalism against his theory that it will collapse. And in fact he has spoken around the world on this topic and has made fortunes on the collapse of many of those economies. He has a strong investment in proving his theory and is betting against the U.S. survival. Hummm.

We have an array of actions being taken against this nation by many who have benefited greatly from the rest of us. How do they garner such loyalty and support from those who literally are the pawns and victims of their contempt? I don't have an answer. I'm only trying to connect the dots before my eyes. What ever the truth is may be beyond my resources. I may not have the rational capability to connect the dots or the dots may not even be on the same page. The questions persist though and remain unanswered and unasked in many cases.

This is just my little question page. I wonder how these will come to light...?

Are jobs really the 1st priority of obama?

2010-01-10T15:47:00.000-08:00

The president has said time and time again that getting Americans back to work is his #1 priority. If that is so, why does he continue to manipulate the economy in favor of big finance, banking, wall street and big business executives?

As we have seen now, the jobs stimulus was only more pay back and cronyism for large donors and politicians. There has been no impact of a positive nature as far as jobs are concerned. Claims that economic indicators are pointing to recovery are voodoo economics.

Every rational economist and economic pundit recognizes that citizens ARE at least 65% of the economic engine. If indeed the economy is in 'recovery' then the implication is that citizens aren't really needed in order to see acceptable economic activity under present economic conditions, which by the way includes 10% (recognized) unemployment (which is another story altogether). But these indicators don't include these people, unemployed people don't spend like securely employed people. Thus the conclusion that the "economy is in recovery" suggests that this rolling statistic that includes ever increasing numbers of jobless and also sheds 10x those numbers as 'discouraged' job seekers has no impact of economic significance. Now, I'm reading a little bit into this, but not a lot.

Government spending isn't and hasn't been directed at jobs or citizens. It has been directed at the incredibly arrogant investment community from your local banks to your retirement investments to international financial (gambling) speculative investments that made such incredibly arrogant and stupid "guesses" as to investment of Americans equity as to appear total fools to concerned investors. In other words middle class investors. The ones that don't have the money to blow on horrendously risky investments.

But government has favored them in it's bailouts none the less while, really, ignoring those out of work due to the vaporization of their equity in retirement accounts, IRAs, 401k's, stock, bonds and other equities by as much as 60%. Some even more than that.

To make matters worse Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are widely recognized to the largest single cause of the recession and both are in the government sector. And while federal regulators were in charge they denied any financial risk right up until, well, they still haven't admitted any responsibility. And "unlimited" financial resources have now been granted to both of them by congress as 'punishment' for their vastly unacceptable fiscal irresponsibility.

Barney Frank has been given a pass as the regulator of these institutions for any responsibility as the regulator during the collapse. Forget that there was criminal financial hanky panky by President Franklin Reigns, now a top level obama administration financial adviser. Reigns received $90 million in salary and bonuses his last year there. Remember this is a government agency. Jamie Gorelick also received major compensation for her very short tenure there. You remember her best for her involvement in the Clinto administration for creating the wall of separation between intelligence agencies that still plagues the safety of Americans to this day.

Now that dividends are being impacted at companies that have enjoyed great financial success during the period where reckless fiscal policy in both government and business we hear businesses that aren't getting any kick backs from government sniveling that "the U.S. is responsible for the recession." (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/davos/6953842/Googles-Eric-Schmidt-on-why-bankers-deserve-little-sympathy-and-Obama-does.html) because his bottom line is now in jeopardy. Schmidt had no problems while he was rolling in illegitimate profits and poor fiscal policy was yielding great dividends for stock holders.

He is pulling a Ben Nelson (D) Neb. cry baby tantrum in hopes of getting some tax payer cash to stuff his pie hole with, IMHO. And he isn't the only one.

AGW takes back seat to GCC

2010-01-05T12:22:00.000-08:00

Today it was reported in Houston (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/hotstories/6798661.html) that it was going to be warmer in McMurdo Station Antarctica than in Houston. In the comments section one clown stated, and I paraphrase, "... it's summer in Antarctica" as though we should expect the temperatures in Houston in winter to approximate those of the Antarctic in summer.

A man I admire greatly. Mr. Walter Williams recently commented on AGW and it's correlation to personal faith and intellectual prowess here is his link. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=121740)

West Palm Beach Florida reported (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/weather-news/shelters-open-plants-covered-zoo-animals-housed-as-161336.html) that it would be in the 20's.

Seoul South Korea reported (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100104/ap_on_re_as/as_asia_storms) more snow than in the last 70 years.

The India Meteorological Department says: "It could turn out to be the coldest Calcutta winter ever."
(http://globalfreeze.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/india-it-could-turn-out-to-be-the-coldest-calcutta-winter-ever-%E2%80%9D/)

In inner Mongolia China a train with over 1,000 passengers was stuck in snow drifts that covered many of the cars completely. Stuck for more than a day without power or services passengers had to wait for rescuers to dig them out. Sorry no link to the story.

The wildly biased Weather Center (http://www.accuweather.com/news-weather-features.asp?partner=&traveler=0&date=2010-01-04_1701&month=1&year=2010) reported this could be the worst winter in 25 years.

And MSNBC, that bastion of truth and honest journalism, reported (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34699949/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/) that New York Times reports say the CIA is working with "scientists" to "assess the hidden complexities of environmental change" using satellites and other assets of the 'intelligence' community. Forget that we can't stop a stupid terrorist even after we were warned by his FATHER using our 'intelligence' community.

NOAA has stated that this past December was the coldest on record for more than 115 years (http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/na.html) and had more than two thirds of an inch more percipitation than the century average.

Now, all of a sudden Accuweather meteorologist Joe Bastardi has produced a video suggesting the current frigid conditions in North America, Europe and Asia are very similar to the weather patterns in the 1970s that produced fears a new ice age was imminent.
In the video, Bastardi explains his theory that "weather goes in a lot of cycles, and we're going to see a lot more of the cold trending here over the next 20 or 30 years."(http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=121447) as reported by Jerome R. Corsi.

Joe Bastardi was a rabid AGW protagonist and worked to overtake and depose the founder of "Accuweather', Joel N. Myers, who is a AGW skeptic.
All of a sudden, as the above clip from an article suggests, since the CRU fall from grace and the failure of the Global Climate Conference in Copenhagen we aren't talking about AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) any longer we are talking about GCC (Global Climate Change) and how mankind is responsible for it. Especially the capitalist U.S.

You don't have to be a "scientist" to know that weather patterns fluctuate widely. And that climate patterns also have historically been quite extreme by contemporary comparison. Both warmer and much colder. But you'd be remiss if you didn't consider all of the functions that impact the climate and the weather here on earth.

If CO2 really is a 'greenhouse gas' and higher atmospheric concentrations create proportional or even logarithmic increases in earths temperatures and those concentrations are "at dangerous" levels then how is it that temperatures are cooling the last 11 years? And this year, in particular, where record cold and snow fall are being seen in places where neither have been maybe ever? (refer to the above URLs)

But you may have to have a more in depth understanding of science to understand that the earth is a carbon sink. In other words it stores carbon, including CO2, in various forms. In solution in the seas and lakes, in the air, in solids like various forms of rocks and in plant and animal life, like you and me and a dog named Blue. We are carbon based life forms.

The law of partial pressures or Dalton's Law (http://library.thinkquest.org/12596/dalton.html) applies very well to the question of CO2 build up in the atmosphere and adjoining bodies, like water for instance.

Divers will relate easily to this law as it is the law from which caisson disease or the Bends precipitates. The atmosphere is a compound gas. In other words it is made up of several gases in differing percentages. Each gas has it's own effect on the whole body of our atmosphere and applies it's own "partial pressure" to that whole in proportion to it's volume.

As we are all, or almost all, aware of Nitrogen makes up the bulk of our atmosphere at approximately 78.09%, next is Oxygen at approximately 20.95% between these two gases making a total of 99.04% leaving a whopping 0.94% left for ALL other gaseous components, argon at 0.93% carbon dioxide, 0.03%; and minute traces of neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen (the most plentiful element in the known universe comes in 8th in our atmosphere), xenon, and ozone. Even with all of the so called 'industrial' dumping of CO2 into the air. This CO2 estimation is a bit higher than some that put it at 360ppm or 0.0360%. Notice that Argon is a substantially greater partial pressure by 31 times the volume. Not that Argon is considered a "greenhouse" gas. It isn't. Yet. This is for a comparison only. (refer to the table: http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7a.html)

CO2 poses little eminent danger in the concentrations that we presently see and has been many times greater in the historical record where no adverse affects have been discovered.

Osmosis (http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/cmb/cells/pmemb/osmosis.html) is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. A higher concentration on one side causes a migration across the membrane until an equilibrium is reached.

Gas concentrations in the atmosphere have a similar relationship with water and are absorbed in solution across the surface of water bodies at varying ratios depending on several factors like temperature of the air and water, whether or not it is salt or fresh and the existing concentration of the gas in the water and other components. Warmer temperatures of the water slow this process. But too cold isn't good either.

As the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases the pressure on the worlds oceans to absorb more of the gas increases. Much of the CO2 that was in our atmosphere over millions of years has been not only absorbed into the water itself but has precipitated, like rain, to the bottom of the seas and is captured in sedimentary rocks. Which is why it is no surprise that volcanoes and their progeny spew so much of the stuff as plate tectonics and the subduction process feed the Earths molten center with new supplies of the stuff. It's a form of natural recycling. It's also not the entire process, but you get the picture.

Now that we have refreshed our (very) basic understanding of a few of the physical principles of a few natural laws of physics it's time to reconsider the hypothesis that mankind is responsible for changes in the climate.

The seas have been cooling for some time, not a lot, but some. And this has hampered the AGW 'wiki-scientists' from the CRU and the U.N. council on global climate change (Both are related by the way) in their "science" explanation of their conclusion that mankind has caused this phenomena.

Several natural phenomena cause the release of CO2 gas into the atmosphere. Most have been know for many years. One, was only recently discovered by a team from the Netherlands by accident while on location in the upper reaches of Canada. Bear with me briefly. CO2 is released during the process of decay of carbon based life forms when temperatures permit it. Decay is suspended below certain temperatures.

Al Gores CO2 to temperature chart showed this but he had the curves backwards. Temperature does not increase as CO2 increases. CO2 increases as temperature allows or permits the decay process to resume.

The team from the Netherlands was temporarily delayed from returning home at the end of their expected experiment due to weather considerations. Being 'scientists' they used the time to their advantage and continued their measurements of CO2 concentrations.

What they discovered was that after the first freeze and snowfall CO2 concentrations jumped dramatically. A phenomena previously seen but not understood. As they discovered, it was the CO2 that was contained in the peat that hadn't bubbled to the surface that was squeezed out as the weight of the snow on the ice pushed down on the tundra and forced the CO2 out of the material above the permafrost layer.

Why is this even important? It demonstrates that the "science" isn't "settled". There are serious complexities in the atmosphere and the climate processes that are not understood by 'wiki-scientists' or by serious Scientists whose research needs to be heard and should be. This study is one that was suppressed by 'wiki-scientists' of the AGW crowd.

Now, most real Science begins with a hypothesis and then a design of experiment(s) (http://www.isixsigma.com/dictionary/Design_of_Experiments_-_DOE-41.htm) to control variables to reduce confounding indicators. DoE is the foundation of the SixSigma movement so popular in industry today but has been a foundation of real science since before Tesla, Edison, Franklin and Galileo.

Once a solid design of experiment has been accomplished it's time to prepare and execute the experiment. Careful consideration is given to the metrics or indications of measurement that they are sensitive enough and accurate enough to adequately gauge the deviations in proper proportion. Frequently multiple gauges are used to gauge the gauges. Or even a gauge study may have to be done to determine if the gauge itself is of high enough quality to be used in the first place.

All of this becomes part of the data collected in support of proper experimentation and is submitted along with the results of all of the experiments.

AGW began as a concept and the 'wiki-science' was created by a wide range of poor scientific methods and intentional fudge factors. To minimize the high profile that this kind of sophomoric cheating was bound to generate these ambitious ideologues sought and achieved the highest positions in the "study" of 'global climate' so they could control the data and the outcome.

Once they held all of or most of the seats of authority they used high profile advocates of low intellectual capability, like Al Gore, Jon Stewart, et al. to take up the mantra that earth was about to be destroyed.

Without questioning the Earth's position in it's rotational 'wobble' around the Sun 'wiki'-scientists and politicians joined hands and began singing earth's death song.

As you may recall from third grade earth science the earth is tilted on it's axis at approximately 23 degrees. As it circles the sun it presents an ever changing angle to the suns rays which results in what we call 'seasons'. In addition to the axis tilt the earth wobbles, like a top about to fall over as it spins to a stop.
The daily rotation of the planet creates a bulge at the equator, and the gravity of the Sun and Moon tends to pull this bulge back toward the orbital plane.(http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/earth_wobble_010131.html)
But earth resists this pull. The result is that the axis moves in a cone-shaped pattern, called a precession, with the celestial North Pole describing a full circle every 26,000 years or so. Right now, the north celestial pole points towards Polaris, the Northern Star, but this has not always been the case, and it will change in the future.
During this precession, the planet's tilt remains at 23.5 degrees. But however, the presentation of the earths surface to the sun changes as it describes the precession in the sky. This constant movement creates significant climate changes as the north pole more closely approaches the sun or is facing the more distant side of the precession pointing further out into the solar system as it circles the sun.

Now one more thing I'm not is an astronomer. But even I can figure out that a key function of climate is where the earth "IS" within it's precession and where it is headed in that movement. But 'wiki'-scientist 'climatologists' don't consider that fact. Also disregarded is solar activity such as sun spot activity or lack of it and the change, if any, of surface temperature of nearby planets all would be and should be contributing factors to include in the algorithm.

Yet, without hesitation or investigation the screaming began that the debate was over; so sayeth the lords of AGW.
Of course we all now know that this was a scam of the highest order. But why?

A little investigation yields considerable evidence. The CRU ("climate research unit") that was discovered to be making up data, using and relying on computer models designed and developed by these 'wiki-scientists', changing data and historical records and then destroying evidence, applying constants to variables or ignoring them altogether, intimidating opposition, changing peer review standards and rejecting papers in opposition to their hypothesis out right from the peer review process is a subsidiary research body of the U.N. council on global climate change! A Scientific conflict of interest, but in the "wiki-science" world is a common method of manipulation of out come.

Now, I'm not a climate scientist. I'm not a diplomat. I'm not a politician. I'm not an industry giant. But I have worked in a science field for over twenty years. I have been trained in, used and applied scientific method. I have collected, collated, analyzed and prepared data for presentation and review. I have conducted gauge studies and DoE. I can follow the bouncing ball.

I have and do read, watched and listened to all manor of debate, conversation and lecture on a wide range of interesting subjects that can and do influence our lives every day that encompass all of the above topics. So when I say that the U.N. has been literally losing sleep over how it is going to get it's hands on a global tax base you can trust me. It's true. But you can also do some quick reading and bone up for your self. I won't provide you with any resources so I won't bias your resource choices. But if you do honest research and do due diligence you will not need me to convince you.

AGW, GCC, L.O.S.T. and other U.N. instigated programs are designed for one purpose and only one purpose: to institute a global tax that finds it's way to that institution. Why?

There is one thing that any power structure must have and that is the ultimate authority to press it's will. But a Global Government will need (and the U.N. has stated and been seeking this goal for decades) a standing Army to enforce GG policy and their bill of rights. It's on the U.N. web site you can read it there.

Leveling the playing field. How do you do that? What makes the playing field so 'un level'? Why MONEY of course. How do you level the playing field? You redistribute the wealth. What wealth? Why, your wealth of course. Obama has stated he is resolutely for the redistribution of your wealth and fundamentally changing the U.S. government to one of a socialist or Marxist model.

AGW and GCC are, as you probably have figured out by now, rooted in socialist political and economic policy. And in order for them to succeed in the way they want, has to by definition, collapse our system of sociopolitical and economic function. And just for the record, in my humble but lovable opinion, "Fundamentally transforming America" is the same thing as 'destroying' it. Because fundamentally, we don't need to change America. We need to flush our politicians.

DHS Plans to Catch Only One in Four Travelers Committing ‘Major’ Criminal Violations While Entering U.S. on International Fights in 2010

2010-01-04T11:59:00.000-08:00

Over the Christmas Holiday (Merry Christmas by the way) another terrorist attempted to blow himself and the airplane he was on, along with nearly 300 other people, up as it approached Detroit coming from Holland.

And once again citizens had to do the job of the mammoth DHS and TSA and the international airline security agencies intervening and thankfully stopping and apprehending the delusional sociopath in mid air.

The immediate reaction from the DHS secretary was that "the system worked." My immediate thought was we had two delusional people to deal with and one was in charge of our nations Homeland Security.

She later clarified that what she meant was that after the attack, she said, they were able to notify all of the other flights of the incident. As though some how had this nut been successful radio traffic would have ceased to be effective.

The (so called) president wasn't far behind Ms. Napolitano in broadcasting delusional miss perceptions. He claimed that "this is an isolated incident carried out by a lone perpetrator". And once again this 'president' was wrong. Hours later he back tracked and came up with another version, this one closer to reality but still creating a bit of an excuse for both the failure of DHS/TSA and the terrorist.

The 'president' has, from the early days of his administration, warned us about "jumping to conclusions," first was the Harvard professor friend of his who accused a police officer of racism and then in the same sentence jumped to the conclusion that "the police acted stupidly" while stating that he himself had few of the "facts." Later it turned out that he had made a fool of himself on TV by jumping to conclusions.

More recently the Ft. Hood terrorist attack yielded the same response from the president, that we shouldn't jump to conclusions about the intentions of the 'suspected' shooter.

With all of the so called intelligence resources available to the president for understanding on any specific event it seems a bit more than amateur for him to make such comments when dozens of eye witnesses saw and heard the events as they unfolded. He revealed his position as a terrorist in his misguided attack when he thought his existence was coming to an end with accolades to 'allah.'

The latest 'leap' to conclusion was the Christmas Day terrorist attempt, where again, he demonstrated that he would do better himself if he kept his mouth shut about specifics until he knew some of them. In any event, here we had two top administration persons including the president, making statements that were idiotic and misleading on their face as they 'reassured' Americans and the world that the U.S. government was on top of the situation.

Personally, I feel less confident after these kinds of imbecilic statements than if I heard nothing at all.

Continuing, secretary Napolitano now claims that in 2010 DHS Plans to Catch Only One in Four Travelers Committing ‘Major’ Criminal Violations While Entering U.S. on International Fights.

As though this conveys some commitment to quality or implies some level of competence that we should be 'tolerant' of. This is a terrifying admission of incompetence in the face of a nearly catastrophic failure of her departments responsibility. Luckily, Americans are the kind of people they are and took charge of the situation and it resulted in a less disastrous outcome.

Eight years plus down the road from 9-11 and 25% is the best that the flying public can expect from DHS/TSA after spending hundreds of millions of dollars, standing for thousands of hours in 'security' lines, waiting thousands of hours for delayed flights, paid the consequences of canceled flights and now we find that possibly we even shared flights with 75% of the "major" criminal violators on flights or more!

I can't tell how you feel about this. But I can tell you I am LIVID! Outraged! Angry! and quite disturbed that all things being equal in a similar situation I have a 3 in 4 chance of not making it out alive and government is okay with that.

If you would like to see a demonstration of the power of the substance that this guy was using check this out..: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6229512773940934022#

This is a failure of a fantastic proportion. Ms. Napolitano is an incompetent nincompoop. She should be imprisoned for impersonating a security professional. Actually, I felt that way about her when she was governor of Arizona, too.

Maybe it's just me but this administration seems to have an inordinate attraction to incompetence, tax cheats, liars, socialists, communists and just plain bums that goes far beyond coincidence or just plain bad luck. I've had bad luck and it didn't look any where near this bad. Soupy Sales (rest in peace) would run like the wind to evade this kind of 'bad luck' pie.

With goals of catching only 25% in 2009 and 2010 of Travelers Committing ‘Major’ Criminal Violations While Entering U.S. on International Fights I have to predict a decline in international air travel coming to the U.S. I'd rather walk or swim.

For a government that has a ZERO tolerance for so much, it seems a shameful disgrace that air travel security has to be tolerant of the potential to allow (possibly) hundreds of people to die as part of their mission statement of 25% success. Worse, I can't believe that Americans have to pay for such marginal "security" and accept it as though it could even remotely be called that.

I served in the Navy on board an FBM submarine. We carried MRV warhead missiles and even nuclear torpedoes. To say security was tight was an understatement. You couldn't get on the boat with out being on the entry list. Name, rank, SSAN all had to be 100% correct or no dice for those who came aboard using the brow. Even other military personnel. All those who didn't meet the criteria were refused permission to board or had to obtain special permission from the OOD and or Captain and a personal escort. The boat had to be 'rigged' for non cleared personnel, confidential surfaces had to be covered and everyone on board had to be aware that 'visitors' were on board and to be aware.

To be sure we were paying attention to the rules, the squadron and the fleet would conduct drills randomly. A person with one number of their SSAN incorrect on their ID and who was on the entry list would try to board. Or a picture of Mike Mouse instead of the individual or his rank would be wrong or some other breech of protocols. This should cause increased scrutiny and possibly a repel borders security violation. Some times they would send a person down the river in a boat or as a swimmer to try to board at any hour of the day or night. No matter, the results should always be the same: vigilant personnel allow no penetration of security. Lest you loose your license to carry nukes or operate a reactor. For a national deterrent to nuclear war that's humiliating. And you don't want to humiliate the Captain. Believe me, that's a bad thing.

In my estimation some variation of this system would be a good place to start. And to some degree we actually do have this system, it's just that passengers don't all comprehend they are the last line of defense and can't have any form of self defense like we did on the submarine. Add to that the government only has a goal of 25% interdiction (There should be a price break for lower security standards) and things start to fall apart.

With all of the rhetoric and regulation and security agencies and hoopla you'd expect that we were serious about being secure. But it's obvious we aren't. As an American, this is humiliating. Our borders are porous, our airline security is bogus and our administration isn't serious about it either. Yet, we try to fool every one with our bluster. Sooner or later this 'technique' won't work. And it appears that time has arrived.

International air travel security has not changed procedures and has stated that they 'won't'. New 'technology' has been reported to violate child pornography laws. Which implies that they border on indecency for adults. Children would have to be exempted from the 'new' screening process. We already know that the terrorists are using children for suicide bombings. Just as the VC did during VietNam. Not that I expect that non muslim children would be susceptible to such abuse. But the point is made.

It is likely that I have taken my last airline flight. I just can not trust my safety to incompetence. Even if it's a calculated risk.
I have flown hundreds of flight segments in my life time. I flew close to three hundred in one year alone by Thanksgiving. More than most and not as many as others, who fly much more than that. And all are safely on the ground, yes, I know. But chance is a funny thing in a not so funny way some times. Life is a one time opportunity to learn and to understand. (http://www.ourcivilisation.com/) Fail, and you loose everything to stupidity. Succeed and you only live to die another day. Which is a far better choice than 'crapping out' early.

DHS, it seems, has taken a position that only increases the odds of me failing in my goal to live to die another day, slightly. But my principles are much less compromisable (is that a word?) than policy of a bureaucracy that really doesn't care about my well being at all. After all, it's a game of numbers, as they say. A game far outside of my control, and once the music begins must be played to the conclusion.

2009-12-31T12:45:00.000-08:00

For a nation whose revolution was based in the people's extreme distaste for taxation without representation, or a voice, we certainly become accustomed to lying down and taking any and every tax that government hands down as their next levy against freedom and liberty.

Granted not all of those who lived in the New Colony had the courage to stand against the tyranny of, at that time, British rule or the taxation that they unilaterally applied based on a system of whimsy and proprietorship (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/subject_menus/chrono.asp).

But those that did laid it all on the line. Their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Commitments not held lightly by men of that era.
Unlike today, where such a commitment or oath may be taken by any one on any given day, for instance our elected officials in all three branches of government who swear a sacred oath to abide by and support and defend the Constitution of the United States or a witness at trial or a juror or even for that matter a couple at their marriage, these collections of words mean little from the moment they are uttered. And no one holds one accountable for such utterances.

Honor today means so little as to be actually a worthless commodity, it is held in such low esteem by virtually all who claim it's provenance.

At the time that these commitments were made in the face of the threat of tyranny and certain death from the British empire calling these men brave was indeed an understatement.

Today it would be hard to under estimate the lack of courage or commitment of those that claim to be for constitutional government.

Our present administration elected in the fall of 2008 made promises during the campaign that covered absolutely every aspect, every position and made every claim that a potential voter could want to hear from a candidate in order to gain support. Once it's purchase of the position had been consummated the "president" began the dis assembly of the nation and the reformation of the face of our nation in the image of neo communistic light. It began spending and hasn't stopped since the inauguration. $3.5T so far that we know of.

The new face of America is taking a shallow end approach to communism by easing into communism via socialism. But the bottom of this pool is very slippery and already the administration has slid farther faster than it may have wanted. In so doing it has revealed a very deliberate and methodical advance against the very cultural construct that has brought it its unprecedented success.

Americans are rightly, once again, terrified more by their governments advance into tyranny and massive tax increases than by the face of the terrorist threat that hangs over the heads of every American for the transgressions of their government from the past spurred by spending that has exceeded, in less than one single year, that of the previous eight years combined while fighting wars on two fronts and recovering from a massive terrorist attack.

This massive new spending can have no other effect than to decrease the value of the dollar (stealing equity from Americans. Equity means YOUR money), increase inflation and risk an extended recession, depression or worse deflation.

Congress has spent on an order of magnitude greater than previous historical levels and shows no sign of stopping. All of the spending has not yet been calculated. And as I demonstrated in my last post there is a vast amount of spending that there is not one single scrap of accounting for at all.

That's like having a spouse you don't know about that has a credit card in your name and has all the authority the motivation and unmatched generosity to spend you into bankruptcy.

Americans, the few of us that are really American these days percentage wise, have been played for fools. Those who aren't American, and that number is greater than estimates bandied about on TV and radio because they only talk about "illegal aliens", those that come across the borders without proper documentation. There is a vast population here not counted that was brought here by the federal government from cultures all over the world by the hundreds of thousands for reasons that range from legitimate to the criminal and are under the radar, also.

All of this will be added to the bottom line before the bill is signed that legalizes illegal aliens of all cultures but also opens the borders to all people for the future. But there are hidden costs that we won't see for some months or years to come. All on the tax payers dime. And just as a reminder, only 49% of wage earning Americans actually "pay" taxes. Fair? It hardly seems so. But that's not the concern of government, now, is it?

When do people wake up? That is a question that has no real answer. Since Americans seem to have lost the connectivity to their nation, culture and themselves. And have yielded their control to irresponsible and incompetent self serving self righteous amoral oligarchs.

Government is broken and here is an example

2009-12-31T11:40:00.000-08:00

I've said before that government is broken, systemically, fundamentally, institutionally, irretrievably, irrevocably, hopelessly broken.

This information should help convince some of the fence sitters that we have cultivated an entire culture, not unlike the one ACORN represents, specifically constructed for the sole purpose of feasting on the belly of the pork factory that is our hopelessly bleeding federal government.

From: Karen Budd-Falen, Budd-Falen Law Offices, L.L.C.

Re: Environmental Litigation Gravy Train

Below please find a press release/Letter to the Editor regarding the amount of litigation filed by environmental organizations and the amount of attorneys fees these groups have received from the federal government for these cases. I am sure that you will be as shocked by these numbers as I have been.

Consider these facts:

* Between 2000 and 2009, Western Watersheds Project (”WWP”) filed at least 91 lawsuits in the federal district courts and at least 31 appeals in the federal appellate courts;

* Between 2000 and 2009, Forest Guardians (now known as WildEarth Guardians) filed at least 180 lawsuits in the federal district courts and at least 61 appeals in the federal appellate courts;

* Between 2000 and 2009, Center for Biological Diversity (”CBD”) filed at least 409 lawsuits in the federal district courts and at least 165 appeals in the federal appellate courts.

* In addition, over the last 15 years, the Wilderness Society has filed 149 federal court lawsuits, the Idaho Conservation League has filed 69 federal court lawsuits, the Oregon Natural Desert Association has filed 58 lawsuits, the Southern Utah Wilderness Association has filed 88 lawsuits and the National Wildlife Federation has filed 427 lawsuits.

* In total, the eight environmental groups listed above have filed at least 1596 federal court cases against the federal government.

* Every one of the groups listed above are tax exempt, non-profit organizations. Every one of those groups listed above receives attorney fees for suing the federal government from the federal government.

* These statistics do not include cases filed in the administrative courts, such as BLM administrative permit appeals before the Office of Hearings and Appeals or Forest Service administrative appeals. These statistics only include federal district court cases.

On the other end, these same environmental groups are receiving billions of federal taxpayer dollars in attorney fees for settling or “winning” cases against the federal government. Accurate statistics have not been kept by the Justice Department or the federal agencies, thus there is no accounting for the total amount of tax dollars paid, however, we were able to uncover these facts:

There are two major sources for attorney fees that can be paid to plaintiffs that “prevail” in litigation either by winning a case on the merits or by the Justice Department agreeing that the group “prevailed” in a settlement by achieving the purpose of the litigation. One source of funding is called the “Judgment Fund.” The Judgment Fund is a Congressional line-item appropriation and is used for Endangered Species Act cases, Clean Water Act cases, and with other statutes that directly allow a plaintiff to recover attorney fees. There is no central data base for tracking the payment of these fees, thus neither the taxpayers, members of Congress nor the federal government knows the total amount of taxpayer dollars spent from the Judgment Fund on individual cases. The only information regarding these fees that is available is:

* In fiscal year 2003, the federal government made 10,595 individual payments from the Judgment Fund to federal court plaintiffs for a price tag of $1,081,328,420.00.

* In 2004, the federal government made 8,161 payments from the Judgment Fund for $800,450,029.00.

* In 2005, 7,794 payments were made from the Judgment Fund for a total of $1,074,131,007.00.

* In 2006, the federal government made 8,736 payments from the Judgment Fund for $697,968,132.00.

* In only the first half of fiscal year 2007, the federal government made 6,595 payments from the Judgment Fund for $1,062,387,142.00.

* In total, $4,716,264,730.00 (that is billion with a “b”) in total payments were paid in taxpayer dollars from the Judgment Fund from 2003 through July 2007 for attorney fees and costs in cases against the federal government.

The second major source of payments to “winning” litigants against the federal government is the Equal Access to Justice Act (”EAJA”). EAJA funds are taken from the “losing” federal agencies’ budget. Thus, for example, the attorneys fees paid under EAJA come from the “losing” BLM office’s budget. That is money that could be used for range monitoring, NEPA compliance, timber projects, archeology and cultural clearances and other agency programs. Within the federal government, there is no central data system or tracking of these payments from the agency’s budgets. The only statistics we were able to compile are as follows:

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 1 of the Forest Service (Montana, North Dakota, northern Idaho) paid $383,094 in EAJA fees.

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 2 of the Forest Service (Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma) paid $97,750 in EAJA fees.

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 3 of the Forest Service (Arizona, New Mexico) paid $261,289.85 in EAJA fees.

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 4 of the Forest Service (southern Idaho, Utah, Nevada) paid $297,705 in EAJA fees.

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 5 (California) of the Forest Service paid $357, 023 in EAJA fees.

* Between 2003 to 2005, Region 6 (Washington state, Oregon) of the Forest Service paid $282,302 in EAJA fees.

* Out of the 44 total cases in which the Forest Service paid EAJA fees between 2003 and 2005, nine plaintiffs were NOT environmental groups and 35 payments went to environmental group plaintiffs.

We also tried to track the fees paid to environmental groups in certain federal courts. For example, in the Federal District Court for the District of Idaho, over the last ten years, WWP received a total of $999,190 in tax dollars for “reimbursement” for attorney fees and costs. Of the total cases filed by WWP in the Federal Court in Idaho, 19 were before Judge Winmill; eight of those cases resulted in a decision on the merits with WWP prevailing and with the total attorney fees being awarded of $746,184; six of the cases were settled by the federal government with a total attorney fees still being awarded of $118,000. WWP won one case but attorney fees were not paid. WWP lost six cases. There were two cases in which the documents indicated that the federal government agreed to pay attorney fees, but the payment amount was kept confidential from the public.

In my opinion, there are a lot of things wrong with this picture. The federal government is spending billions in taxpayer dollars without any accounting of where the money is going or to whom it is going. There is no oversight in spending this money, especially the money that is coming out of agency budgets that should be funding on the ground programs to protect public lands, national forests, ranchers, recreationists, wildlife and other land uses.

Nonprofit, tax exempt groups are making billions of dollars in funding; the majority of that funding is not going into programs to protect people, wildlife, plants, and animals, but to fund more law suits. Ranchers and other citizens are being forced to expend millions of their own money to intervene or participate in these lawsuits to protect their way of life when they have no chance of the same attorney fee recovery if they prevail. In fact, they are paying for both sides of the case–for their defense of their ranch and for the attorney fees for environmental groups receive to sue the federal government to get them off their land. There are also numerous cases where the federal government agrees to pay attorney fees, but the amount paid is hidden from public view.

Somewhere this has to stop and the government has to be held accountable for the money its spending.

END OF LETTER

Now, I have tried to make my point in my own humble country boy way but even I'm afraid that many times it lacked the smack down power it required for the simple minded or the stubborn or the hopelessly brain washed or just those who can't be swayed toward constitutional government over a socialist form of government because of personal failings.

This note clearly illustrates only one small corner of a system so vast and so diseased and so corrupted that it fairly boggles the mind as to the potential destructive power it holds over the taxpayers and the middle class in particular.

It has no potential for remediation. It has no possibility of being fixed. This is an open wound designed to bleed the 'victim' (the federal government... in other words you and I) out.

Government repression or carbon economy? Hydrogen NOW!

Etymology: Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxon, from neuter of paradoxos contrary to expectation, from para- + dokein to think, seem — more at decent

With our government, the governments of other industrialized nations, upstart governments and the globalist U.N. all clamoring about and for Carbon taxes, Cap and Trade and other schemes designed to take from wealthy nations and give to poorer nations in a guilt induced money transfer plan based in the supposed premise that "it's the carbon, stupid" that threatens our planet, which "IS" a carbon sink, you'd expect a tiny bit more intellectual horse power would have been applied to the hypothesis.

First a bit of perspective and a bit of a history lesson.

Nikola Tesla and his story are a classic example of what I see as happening right now in our present situation with the Carbon Trade, Carbon Taxation and Cap and Trade.

Tesla was arguably the brightest mind in applied science in our history. Tesla had a dream and a philosophy. His dream was to provide power to every one in the world. His philosophy was that power should be plentiful and free for everyone. As it was the sole requisite for innovation and progress, not to mention a great convenience for every day life.

His era was near the turn of the 19th century here in America. And innovation was a common characteristic during those years. And he worked with one of the brightest minds of the day, Thomas Edison.

I won't go over Tesla's Biography (http://www.teslasociety.com/biography.htm) but you may if you choose. When it became apparent that Tesla wanted to provide free power and may jst very well accomplish it, one of his serious competitors of the day, George Westinghouse, to whom Tesla had demonstrated his idea eventually out maneuvered Tesla. Westinghouse had the monetary resources, the political connections and proceeded to use Tesla's inventions and ended up making a killing while Tesla was ridiculed and eventually died a poor man.

To this day Tesla's ideas and inventions fill our lives unbeknown to the vast majority of us.

In my humble but lovable opinion we are seeing a similar kind of scenario taking shape in Al girl's carbon scheme.

Why pursue such a complex and burdensome process? Why use regulation and bureaucracy to stifle innovation and progress and to financially over burden people? Especially when we can plainly see the lack of conviction from the leaders of these movements that profess dire consequences if we don't believe their un proved theories that we all doomed?

Let alone the recent revelations that (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=119745) clearly show the movement is not only filled chockablock full of environmentalist geek type zealots whose interests have been shown to be more akin to GreenPeace than to real scientific method. Where self proclaimed atmospheric scientists have referenced the historical record and then destroyed that evidence as far back as the midevil warm period in a concerted effort to sabotage those who may follow them, change peer review definitions and destroyed opposing papers where strong evidence was presented that suggested the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) science was flawed.

This only refers to a few of the ethically despicable but clearly conspiratorial and amoral crimes of a cabal of criminal zealots perpetrating one of the greatest hoaxes ever on mankind. But, it has gotten traction among the functionally intellectual illiterates, such as Al girl, mostly politicians and influential 'business' leaders who see dollar signs in their sleep from such a crisis machine.

We can and should find a way to skip right over the top of this concern. While we have the attention of the money crowd and the people who have bought into the scheme now and feel some form of moral obligation, this is the time to do exactly that.

The money that now has been incorrectly allocated for the building of a regulatory bureaucracy and a global over sight body and the repressive and regressive direction of the fundamental intention of this effort can be completely avoided while applying the funds to the obviously better choice.

That choice is: Hydrogen.

Hydrogen is clean. There is nothing more plentiful in the entire universe, except dark matter. It is widely available and the oxidization, or burning, of it produces a vitally needed resource: water.

This is a vastly superior idea to the punishing regulatory and corruption susceptible system being devised right now by politicians and business types all over the world. And would come closer to Tesla's dream of widely available cheap and clean power source that would improve the condition of the peoples of the world more than any other single thing.

The big hold up for this, is obviously the creation, capture, storage and distribution of hydrogen. Despite being the most plentiful element in the universe it is surprisingly rare by itself in our world. And despite fears procreated by the uneducated it is much safer than most other forms of usable energy.

Idiots, point to the Hindenburg disaster as the example for not using hydrogen as that source. But they are fools. The Hindenburg was almost designed to fail. Coated with thermite, the same stuff used in hand grenades, was used to reflect the sun and keep the hydrogen tanks cool. Of course a fire would be disastrous, and was. But the reaction wasn't from the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen burns straight up.

Hydrogen is the lightest element known and was used in the Hindenburg specifically for that reason. As a gas, it is like balsa wood in water. Hydrogen floats in air with great buoyancy and would not spread out as gasoline does in a fire. It would burn directly upwards, always, as it heads for the top of the atmosphere with great speed, like an inflated balloon at 33 feet under water, it would scream towards the "surface" of our atmosphere.

It would not be harmful to our atmosphere. One of the reasons hydrogen is rare in it's elemental form on earth is that it binds so easily to many other elements and compounds.

Stoves can be used (after conversion) to burn hydrogen. Cars can burn hydrogen by using internal combustion or could be used to create electricity via fuel cell to power electric cars. As a matter of fact fuel cells, now being developed by several companies and used in some locations including the space shuttle and NYC central park precinct of the NYC police for electrical power, some experimental vehicles and other uses could burn hydrogen more efficiently than the other hydrocarbon fuels they now use and water vapor is the only byproduct.

This is the time to run full strength at developing a hydrogen economy. Why have to come back and refund yet another run at changing industry, infrastructure and motivating politicians, bureaucrats, businesses and populations? That would be a waste if it ever happened at all.

How do we create, capture and store hydrogen?

I'm not a materials engineer nor am I a chemical engineer. But I do have some experience in the creation of hydrogen in volume. Unfortunately, it was a very energy intensive process called: Electrolysis. And we used it in the submarine service to create oxygen for our enclosed atmosphere, not for the hydrogen.

Electrolysis is the process of breaking apart (pure) water molecules into their fundamental elements, hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). Twice as much hydrogen is produced as oxygen in this process so it is half as expensive as the oxygen to produce using this method, but both are usable in our world today and could both be captured and stored decreasing costs further. But still not enough to make it 'efficient'. We had un limited power on the submarine since we used a fission based reactor to power the boat. The oxygen generators today can produce 225 SCFH (http://www.treadwellcorp.com/history.htm) of pure oxygen. That means 450 SCFH of hydrogen.

What we need to do is perfect the fusion reactor to produce hydrogen in quantity afford-ably. It could be possible to use geothermal power to generate the power required to power electrolysis stations. But fusion reactors would be the best method.

Nuclear science has been working on perfecting safe fusion reactors for decades. This is the time to increase those efforts and push forward with that research. And it's the time to begin to turn toward hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen fuel cells to power everything imaginable.

Why have to readdress this again in the future? Or why be restricted from progress because of foolish restrictive policies now that we know are going to favor specific politicians, businesses in a corrupt effort to limit progress?

HYDROGEN NOW!

A time of no truth or honor

2009-12-21T12:32:00.000-08:00

How do you discern anything? How is it that a decision is made about some thing? Do you get a feeling? Does some one else tell you what you should think? Do you consult the stars or celebrities? Do you use numerology? Tarot cards? Ouija board? Palm readers? Fortune teller or some other 'medium'? Clergy? Do you consult your local used car salesman? Rush? Keith? Jon? David? Oprah? Are you even capable of making a decision at all?

I know that I didn't hit on all of the possibilities but I'm betting I hit on most methods used by American citizens. For a few, my self included, I missed one significant way to determine what I think about any specific subject: personal research.

That's a very controversial technique these days because it has a way of making me and 'individual' and not, necessarily, part of a crowd. It completely separates me from the entire rest of the population. Because no one else will consider the exact same contextual and historical references that I use.

While contextual references will be available and will be the same ones I would use the historical references I use are not only well documented but many are based in life experience and other undocumented references. Never do I consider emotions. I've learned over the years that emotions rarely yield the best results beyond a very brief period.

At times I've thought that possibly our social structure used a similar method to determine the best outcomes for it's preservation and adaptation. But I've been repeatedly discouraged by those thoughts by the actual outcomes and goals of society and it's contributing components for developing those structures.

And for a host of reasons that I thought were ambiguous, self destructive or highly partisan reasons. It turns out that social structure is rarely advanced in the name of general society but frequently in the name of special interests, lobby groups, business, political considerations, revenue stream considerations or some other obscure or little recognized purpose. Much to the satisfaction of those or that body of support. But frequently to the dismay of those that are then by law, regulation, policy, bureaucracy or plain personal spite required to pay or other wise suffer the consequences of such ill advised actions.

Now we could consider the failure of the public school system in education generally speaking, the teachers unions influence on the degradation of real education in favor of special interest group indoctrination, or industrial unions who influence member actions and behaviors with intimidation and other tactics. Or we could consider the general failure of government at every level of making any sense in it's actions regarding in a wide range of behaviors that undermine it's own commitment to law and order and in some instances its own existence.
It could be that people themselves are becoming less intelligent. Darwin's law would by necessity be a history of significant failure after significant failure before lasting success could finally influence the outcome through domination of adaptation and procreation. Maybe we are seeing the failing of a species due to it's inability to intellectually and physically adapt to changing challenges where in the brain can't cope with the structure of the paradigm.

In any event it's virtually a natural law of physics that social leadership fails to live up to both it's own claims and the expectations that it sets out to achieve almost certainly. But paradoxically, those left with unfulfilled expectations or even adequate belief in application of the 'old college try' by the claimant hold no lasting bias against such abject failure. And may even continue support as though it were some form of competitive game rather than a failure of a fundamental kind of all of the aspects of social survival.

This has the effect of delivering a destructive blow of varying force to the foundations of social long term development. And over time tends to weaken the over all structure. Why society stands for or tolerates these kinds of failures is one of the great perplexities of the modern era.

These aren't new observations for those who can think, who weren't adversely affected by public schools or who were finally able to shed the horribly fractured logic model used by social progressives to justify the self destructive policies and behaviors that subvert society and survival in general.

But today ill logic and profound lapses in cognitive judgment and reason are treated with an inexplicable reverence even to the highest levels of our social structure.

It was some time ago that I read an article that strongly suggested that much of the discontinuity in logical progression was due to the creation of the word adolescence and the postponement of adolescent behavior well into our thirties and beyond. Today tolerance of this behavior is one of our fundamental failures individually and collectively. A fine example of this is the shockingly unacceptable sexual attack on our children (students) BY our teachers.

At one time developing into a mature responsible adult was the highest form of individual accomplishment and reflected your willing eagerness to contribute to the family structure, the fundamental building block of social structure, and to improvements in society itself.

Today, the adolescent makes a point of sabotaging not only society but even their own family or cultural foundations for reasons that make little sense even under the most favorable considerations. This is self destructive and can not be considered evolutionary in the advancement sense, but is devolution of the species.

We see this behavior coming from the most 'advanced' graduates our education system can produce. We see it in the most highly respected CEOs in business. The most successful athletes, politicians and from the most skilled in every discipline you can name.

These are people that are now what were once considered roles models that still fill those rolls but with pitifully poor behavior, manors, ethics and morals. People who deny a social connection to their behavior despite the wide influence of their actions on others.

As I write this we all know the most urgent example of this is the dramatic failure of our government structure from one of a government that supports individual liberty and freedom to one that insists that government tyranny is the best answer for the future.

These are people revered in our society today. They have successfully negotiated the highest levels of our 'education' system and remain unethical and entrenched in amoral socially destructive behavior patterns. They unabashedly promote their own self interest. They disobey laws, regulations, responsibilities, duties and obligations. They lie out right directly to your face while demanding, self righteously, you genuflect to their perverted sense of honor like some mafia don demanding you acquiesce to their power or else.
They wield their influence in much the same manor. Using extortion, threats, bribes, sabotage and subversion.

The structure of our government has been subverted. It is fundamentally, irretrievably, irrevocably, systemically, institutionally broken. It is beyond repair as it exists at this moment with the participants presently seated there. It is as corrupt as any sitting body ever assembled in human history. It has lost it's honor as it has lost it's understanding of it's purpose and it's duty.

Every election we see a sale of influence, power and money for criminal advantage. Every election cycle moral and ethical standards are diminished and codes of conduct ignored. The actual structure of our government is being disassembled! and remade in a demented socialist vision as if these people are ignorant of historical consequences for these exact actions.

This recklessness and total disregard for facts and sound judgment is a terrifying indicator or symptom of the failure of a republican form of government, as it falters under the burden of it's own historical success. As though it hasn't the slightest idea of how to proceed even in the face of that success.

Now, to me, that alludes to an agenda that has been held back for some time, as though a subversive action has been in the works and now can no longer be restrained by the overly ambitious and highly criminal political class now so close to actually creating, at the very least, an oligarchy power structure that they are like a child on Christmas. And in fact that is exactly what they are. Adolescent behaving adults, slaves to their emotional stimulations of greed and self delusion.

U.N. Salivating over U.S. monies

2009-12-16T12:35:00.000-08:00

The U.N. and the IPCC, a subsidiary of the U.N., are just about to pass water into their shoes in their excitement over the potential to actually garner more control over the U.S. GDP.

As it is the U.N. is significantly supported by the U.S. and has been since its creation in 1945, 64 years ago. As reported by The Heritage Foundation:

The U.S. Should Push for Adjustment in U.N. Dues

by Brett D. Schaefer

WebMemo #2735

Every three years, the member states of the United Nations negotiate how to divvy up the expenses of the U.N. regular budget and the peacekeeping budget. These negotiations center on the U.N. "scale of assessments," which assigns a specific percentage of the budget to each member state according to its "capacity to pay"--a calculation based primarily on its gross national income over a set period modified by various factors.[1] The overall result is a highly tilted system with a handful of states footing the lion's share of U.N. costs but with minimal ability to shape the budget itself. This system has undermined efforts to reform the U.N. in ways that would improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability.

The Obama Administration should press strongly to adjust the scale of assessments for 2010-2012 to more equitably spread the financial burden among the member states. Reforming the U.N. assessment scale is a controversial topic, and the U.S. faces significant pressure to avoid it. However, the opportunity for assessment reform comes around only every three years, and the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly (which approves U.N. administrative and budgetary matters) is now working on the assessments scale for 2010-2012. The U.S. should seize this opportunity.

The General Assembly, which establishes budget and policy priorities for the U.N., operates on an egalitarian one-country, one-vote basis. In the vast majority of cases, decisions by the General Assembly are adopted by consensus. When votes are held, most decisions are made by a majority of member states. However, decisions on important matters, such as the budget, require approval by a two-thirds majority,[2] or 128 of the 192 members--even if those 128 member states contribute little to the U.N. budget.

The one-country, one-vote structure of the General Assembly creates a free-rider problem in which countries that pay little to the U.N. drive its financial decisions. Consider the following facts in table 1:

The top 15 contributors to the U.N. combined are assessed 84.34 percent of the U.N. regular budget and 89.53 percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget.[3]
The U.S. has been the U.N.'s largest financial supporter since that organization was established in 1945. It is currently assessed 22 percent of the U.N. regular budget and 25.96 percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget.
The combined assessment of the 128 least-assessed countries--two-thirds of the General Assembly--for 2009 is a paltry 0.92 percent of the regular budget and a minuscule 0.29 percent of the peacekeeping budget, even though that group alone can, according to U.N. rules, pass the budget.
The 130-member Group of 77 (G-77)[4] together pay a mere 8.81 percent of the regular budget and 5.26 percent of the peacekeeping budget.
The members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)[5] are assessed a combined 6.95 percent of the regular budget and 4.01 percent of the peacekeeping budget.
The members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)[6] are assessed a combined amount of just under 2.99 percent of the regular budget and 1.21 percent of the peacekeeping budget.

Now, this is in addition to the money that would be FORCED out of our GDP should the corrupt Climate Change Treaty now being thrust upon the global community using extortion and mafioso style techniques on the larger nations succeed.

The U.N. owes it's existence to the U.S. yet we are the target of the U.N.s well planned attempts to take over the world, and have been since it was created, and establish a global governance and regulatory body that will ALSO receive tax revenues from Carbon taxes it hopes will result from this climate conference. On top of that it is still pushing for the passage of he L.O.S.T. treaty that will cause all nations to pay a tax to the U.N. for the commercial and recreational use of the worlds water ways!

If you think the Clean Water Act of 1974 and the ESA are a restrictive legislative success on individual liberties you won't believe the restrictions that are waiting in the wings stemming from these two U.N. treaties alone.

I saw on the news this morning that the U.N. pulled the larger portion of it's "Peace Keeping" forces out of Iraq after a IED blew up and killed several people including some U.N. 'peace keepers'. Now, that's commitment to peace, eh?
So, what are they going to do with the money if they aren't going to use it to apply more determination in their commitment to peace? Interestingly, they actually plan to field a standing army. It has been a goal of the U.N. for decades. And that can be verified by a casual visit to their web site.
So why field a standing army if you are not committed to keeping the peace in a war zone? Well, I have a theory but it's kind of counter intuitive.

You see, I believe it's easier to enforce regulatory and police controls (martial law) on law abiding populations. Populations that have a higher standard of living usually think twice before engaging in acts that will result in wholesale destruction of property and loss of life and limb while also having the collateral effect of drying up resources of every possible kind. At cross purposes with Americans and the American way of life for decades U.N. 'peace keepers' won't have the faint heart of American forces acting out against Americans would have and so will be aggressive in the face of a less aggressive population. In fact I believe they would be ruthless. And they ARE authorized by our executive branch to 'police' the U.S. in a 'crisis'.

Once the example is set in a place where hundreds of millions of guns are held by a large portion of the population the word will get out that success against such a force is hopeless.

It sounds unlikely, I know. But it will be years form now, if indeed it ever really happens at all. Much has to be laid down in the meantime to build the required infrastructure to succeed if it's to happen. But the goals are already in writing in U.N. documents for fielding a standing army. This scenario is mine alone and is the result of my conclusion that the U.N. can't handle it's present ambitions as they collide with the responsibilities that they bear but can't execute effectively. Coupled with the U.S. governments obvious surrender to global demands amounting to organized extortion it seems that this is the direction we are headed.

Only the application of public pressure on these corrupt politicians can we possibly change the course we are on as a country. Americans need to get tough and get involved and they need to do it right now.

Americans are being played for fools, and while I don't believe that 100%, when it is broken down into the demographic groups that congress and the senate like shove us into while denying us redress as Americans, I see citizens cowed successfully.

Our own politicians are, and I hate to be trite, selling us out for a greater purpose. To what do we as thinking people conclude this is a result of?
I have thought about this for some time. And while I may be leaving something out it can be largely attributed to self interest, the most infamous motivator in human history, personal greed. AND the greater purpose; socialism.

America has come a long way indeed when the political leadership of the worlds greatest and most freedom loving nation ever to grace Gods earth comes to the conclusion that socialism is the most beneficial form of government civil policy that we can enact.

Global Warming or Gaia

2009-12-14T14:46:00.000-08:00

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=119046

This is an article written by Drew Zahn for WND Dec 15, 2009. It outlines the Hollywood elites new attack on public schools and American children with a program called "The People Speak". It's a new 'historical' perspective that calls America every evil name in the book in it's overt attempt to rewrite history in it's own socialist view point. A long list of present day stars are promoting this new perspective and many teachers in states, every state has a few, all across the nation.

It's now to the point that public schools don't teach our history as much as they teach a personal perspective of history. It doesn't matter who's as long as it isn't the accurate history in perspective or actual context. As we have embraced the progressive perspectives we have moved to relativism in such a dramatic way that reality itself begins to have no meaning beyond the relativistic perspective given to us by some third person arbiter. This is literally insanity.

Americans need to stand up and say , "no that isn't the way it was, and I don't want lies taught as truth, nor liars teaching as though they had credibility".

This is very much the root of the progressive movement in the environmental arena that we are witnessing today with the IPCC a U.N. subsidy, CRU also a U.N. subsidy and Climate Treaty Talks in Copenhagen and from the new spiritual faith of Global Warming alarmists in general. As they promote an end game using poorly constructed and concealed lies to advance the worship of earth and establish global governance. This is an ancient paganistic religion rooted in the occult, called Gaia.
The most frightening thing about this article is that celebrities are so ignorant about history that is available to each and every American almost any where without someone interpreting it for them. This says a lot about these people. Either they are literally illiterate, completely ignorant or just stupid pawns, called useful idiots. In any case it is unacceptable that these people have any influence on a free mind in America under any circumstance.

Occultism & Parapsychology Encyclopedia: Gaia
Source: Answers.com

Pre-Olympian Greek earth goddess, worshiped as mother of all. She mated with her son Uranus and bore Titans, the Cyclops, and Hectoncheires. Worship of Gaia continued after the rise of the Olympians, and she was regarded as a powerful influence in marriage, healing the sick, and divination. She was represented as a gigantic female form. Earlier cultures also had religious concepts of a great earth goddess.
The concept of Gaia as earth goddess has been revived in New Age ecological and mystical beliefs. On September 6, 1970, Otter G'Zell, founder of the Church of All Worlds, one of the early modern Neo-Pagan organizations, had a vision of the unity of the Earth's planetary biosphere—a single organism. He shared the vision with other church members and wrote about it in 1971 in the periodical he edited, The Green Egg.
Atmospheric biochemist James E. Lovelock had a very similar idea at somewhat the same time and through his books Gaia (1979) and The Ages of Gaia (1988) emerged as the leading proponent of this modern Gaia hypothesis of the earth as a living organism. His books propose a dynamic interaction between life and environment, with earth regulating life, and life regulating earth, virtually a single self-regulating entity.
The controversial aspect of Lovelock's concept is the extent the earth may be regarded as a living organism in which life and environment form one dynamic interacting whole. Although not unsympathetic to modern environmentalism, Love-lock proposes a broader frame of reference, and in The Ages of Gaia states: "At the risk of having my membership card of the Friends of the Earth withdrawn, I say that only by pollution do we survive. We animals pollute the air with carbon dioxide, and the vegetation pollutes it with oxygen. The pollution of one is the meat of the other." The Gaia hypothesis has stimulated New Age and Neo-Pagan veneration of Gaia as a living earth goddess and become an integral part of the revival of goddess worship in the last two decades.
The modern Gaia hypothesis was earlier prefigured by such writers as Gustav Fechner (1801-1887) and Francis Younghus-band.

700 Peer Reviewed papers skeptical of Global warming ( http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html )

This philosophy so closely mirrors this occultist belief system that it would be difficult to deny there is some kind of connection. Now whether or not you are actually going to be required to kneel and pray to the earth god right off is not relevant. You will be made to pay a tithe to it beginning immediately, though, through a sophisticated tax support system now being passed in the bills passing through congress right now. Whether or not you are willing to call it what it really is doesn't matter. As long as you do it. And do it you will. These people now in the present presidential administration all come from this very school of thought. Most have written books that reflect this same belief system and spell it out in language only slightly different than the 'definition' provided above.

If Americans actually want this kind of government I suppose that's fine, but we should at least have that debate. It shouldn't be imposed upon us by shysters without the courage to stand on their soap box and prognosticate for their position. This usually means there is some not so savory aspect that is accompanying the coming 'new regulations'.

Now, what could be so important that these 'people' wouldn't want to debate the various aspects in an open forum using all recognized forms of communication and argument to convince the general population of the merits of this wonderful new way to live? It's obvious. The shameful label of personal greed. Their personal wealth and power will be greatly enhanced by the new vision and clearly on the face of it would reveal their real motivations; they want to rule the world and benefit from the booty. Your booty. It's a common ambition of men since before Christ. Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and now the progressives that increasingly see at least some reward in it for them if they can convince the rest of us that we have no individual rights. That God doesn't exist and therefore our rights come from government, who is looking out for and getting it's policy decisions from the earth through the studies of corrupt 'scientists' who have the ear of mother earth.

Like I have said before it doesn't matter if you believe this is 100% true or not, the facts speak for themselves and it's happening. If you don't stand up, become educated and quickly, and stop this foolishness it will be too late to do much about it. Once it becomes the process it will be very difficult indeed to turn it around. Logic and unadulterated scientific method need to be our guide. And faith needs to be in God, not the earth. For it hurts no one to have faith in God. But it will hurt many to have a government that takes from people for it's own selfish purposes and proscribes a faith that is cultivated from evil.

Social Networking and freedom of speech

2009-09-15T08:40:00.000-07:00

Is it just me or does any one else recognize the extreme power that we are vesting in the infrastructure of social networking and other interactive social and sharing technologies?

Like emperors they set up a TOU or 'Terms of Use' protocols, obviously designed to protect their bottoms and their bottom lines, consisting of subjective criteria and then use the obviously subjective human mind to interpret those subjective criteria to come to a conclusion that either is equivalent to tacit approval or total denial.
In today's 'market place of ideas' where political correctness is not just a 'courtesy' but now considered a prerequisite to any discourse either spoken or written it becomes a moot point to even attempt to make a personal 'opinion' argument, as only the PC version is socially acceptable. In fact to not opine the 'states' version is beginning to have not only a chilling effect on the very act of vocal human interaction it is setting up claims of discrimination and even a consideration of 'thought crime' prevention and enforcement in order to "stop the abuse."

Where have peoples minds gone? What, in the name of God, makes these people loose their ability to parse cognitive thought on their own? to come to a personal and private, if necessary, opinion that disagrees but reserves the right to comment at will? to make 'their' argument? It's their Right to intellectual liberty. To freedom of thought and freedom, eventually, to speak that thought, right or wrong.

Obviously, actions speak volumes more than words and crossing that line concludes, in many cases, freedom of speech but can become a newly established right of freedom of 'expression' that is based now in actions. As long as those actions don't impart any disregard for the liberties and freedoms of others or are in any way illegal.

We all know most of the criteria for the limits. Any thing disrespectful of Christianity or conservatism is acceptable. Any thing disrespectful of homosexuality, mulit culturalism, socialism, islam et al is approaching prosecutable crimes of hate or "freedom of expression." Of course this list is very short but a more comprehensive listing in this context is not required for this example to be properly comprehended.

As our 'public schools' continue to collaborate with other unions to socialize our nation, a way to establish a 'level playing field' of mediocrity, the requirements for graduation become less and less about education and more and more about indoctrination into socialist dogma, U.N. doctrine and in general trashing our country while genuflecting to the rest of the world and our students enter society with strong socialistic contempt for our culture and our history. Setting the stage for their acceptance of the "kind of change you can believe in." Like we are seeing right now, for instance.

The control of thought and the control of spoken or written words by those who have the power to cut off commonly used methods of communication and are strong advocates of censorship, like our 'social networks' based in technology, as their own policies state, become not just infringements on individual Rights and Liberties but tools that are actively used and abused by the administrators of these protocols.

Right now our government is massively funding programs, pork programs, to 'connect' the unconnected technologically speaking. Getting computers into homes, internet access you name it. As though this were some form of a right. And while I don not deny any one their right to pursue these things on their own, government provision of them isn't right.
Recently government has requested the congress to provide itself ownership of the 'switch' for access to the internet that would allow the government to shut down all or partial access to the 'net' "in and emergency" of their declaration.
This would shut down a huge segment of communication, information and news to the millions of people they are now trying to provide access to. Supposedly this would be a temporary interruption and most likely would be. But it also provides the government the ability to censor content at the same time. Severing links and shutting down segments of it's choosing, allowing access only to information it deems is 'non' threatening.

As the new administration has progressed this short but legislatively frightening year we have heard the government say out right that opponents of the administration are "enemies" and they want disagreement shut down. They have even proposed that vocal opponents of the president be prosecuted! that they are racist or some other equally dubious threat. As though all of a sudden disagreement is a crime. Well, there has been strong acceptance socially and in the present administration for these obviously unconstitutional requests to silence opposition to ideology.

The stage is set for the fundamental transformation of our nation to yet one more socialist in a never ending sea of abusive tyrannical, at least by the standards of our founding if not a more abusive one, socialist governmental construct. Thereby breaking the contract with the Citizens of the nation established over 230 years ago. A virtual coup without any thing more powerful than the control of knowledge, thought and ideology through the control of access to understanding and your own Right to intellectual growth.

I know how wild it sounds. Bus I stated early on in this blog actions speak volumes more than words. The actions are being taken. The words are even being spoken, at least in some venues, hidden from others. The traces of these steps, at least for now, are available while we still have general access to the internet. But as 'social networking' becomes more and more government like and more and more regulated by government these traces will be scrubbed from existence.

We see traditional forms of information dissemination vanishing from the landscape as they too become corrupted, just as the 'social networking' technologies are by "design", to embrace censorship and the once admirable art of journalism becomes self compromised by the lure of ideology, a transformation to all internet news and information is under serious consideration by every major outlet. Exposing information itself to a systematic self censorship or risk exclusion by subjective criteria applied by subjective humans as they try to please an intolerant policy of political correctness or self censorship designed to limit opposition.

Dear Senator,
Why are you silent while the president appoints avowed communists, like Van Jones, to positions of power?
I have researched this mans history, since the House and Senate can't find the time, and what I have discovered is very disturbing.
I can't get a job in government, even though I'm a veteran and capable and not a criminal, but Van Jones is a convicted felon, spent time in prison has stated he is a communist and as recently as March of this year vows to change our way of life while claiming that the "white man" is responsible for all of the country's woes.
Now he's a Czar holding a cabinet position with powers that even our elected Senators don't have?
Where are you? Why is this unquestioned? What are you thinking? How’s this determined to be the guy that has the right ideas for government without being elected?
What has happened to our system? It's time to stand up. It's time that we hear that this isn't due process. It's time we hear that we won't stand still while radical communists change 238+ years of foundation without a whimper from our duly elected officers of government.

This is a letter I sent recently to my senators.

I have to state that I am deeply disturbed by our elected officals lack of concern for due process. You know the reason that congress didn't know what was in the 'Health Care Reform' bill that was submitted before the August recess in 2009? It wasn't written by them. No one in the House wrote the bill. It was written by a leftist group and 'submitted' to the House for a vote!
Can you believe that? And they obligingly did so, or tried to do so. You and me, constituents, voters, tax payers we can't write a Bill to present to the House for a vote but special interest groups, funded by our tax dollars I might add, can?
I'm afraid of what is happening in our government today. Our elected officials are standing by like useless figurines inserting the casual rhetorical comment as though nothing unusual is happening while self avowed communists are being appointed to Czarist positions in the cabinet above them. Criminal communists, I might add. Felons. People that have been to federal prison are being appointed to cabinet positions.

I don't know about you, but I have been laid off for more than 8 months. I'm desperate for a job. I'm a veteran of 9 years in the Navy. I have clean record, never been to prison. Federal jobs are opening up like crazy. I can't get one because I don't meet the criteria for federal equal opportunity regulations.

Have you ever tried to get a federal job? USAJOBSONLINE. Lists federal job openings. Let me tell you there are a bunch. Do you know how to apply for a federal job? You wouldn't believe it. It's the most convoluted thing in the world. Just writing the KSA's (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) takes a lawyer. But illegal aliens seem to be caught in federal job positions all the time. I can't get through the red tape and illegal immigrants are handed a job.

But I digress. Van Jones, the newly appointed 'Green Czar' is a felon now holding a cabinet position with unrestricted access to the president, unrestricted power and a fairly large budget that is unregulated funded with, you guessed it, your federal tax dollars.

He is a self avowed communist. A radical social re-constructionist and a widely espoused racist. And he has the ear and access to our president at his discretion.

Do you remember the controversy over the reverend Jeremiah Wright? and his radical Black Theology Church? and wondering if our next potential president was a radical after listening to 20 years of racist Black Theology from the pulpit of his chosen alter of worship? and how it was poo-poo'ed by the press as so much hocum from a up tight conservative white red neck bunch of racists? Well it turns out that possibly that was all smoke and mirrors cover for a man that was by all accounts a member in good standing and with good prospects for access to high levels of government.

Today, we see a near total transformation of government in the view finder. The House of representatives and the Senate filled with duly elected officers from the several states is being run rough shod over. I may not agree with most of these weasels, but they were duly elected. As was the president. ALL, however, are sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of these United States. Period. None and I don't mean that to total exclusivity, but in the figurative sense, (or almost none) of the pending and past actions meet Constitutional requisites for government authority.

Van Jones is only one of more than a dozen appointees of equal disappointing character and ability, to say the least.

While your elected officials deny your concerns at Town Halls across the nation and call YOU radical and anti American they are laughing as convicted felons are appointed to cabinet positions above their own socially vaulted positions in government like Pharaoh's.

I can't tell you how frustrated I am with Americans. "We the People" wasn't just a 'phrase', it was the starting three words to the declaration of independence. A statement of our authority over a government that we chose to create. We hold the power over them, don't you see? Like the Ruby slippers of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
It's our power they wield at our discretion. But with out our direction it is used at their discretion.

We hold the final action and unless we actually do the deciding we will become slaves to government once again. And this time it won't be so easy to shed the reigns once we are burdened with tyranny. And while the "Tree of Liberty must once in a while be refreshed with the blood of patriots for Liberty to flourish" the quantity of blood to required to regrow that Tree once it has diseased may be deemed to be not worth the sacrifice in today's blood currency and tomorrows debit.

Americans losing their Country

2009-07-06T10:17:00.000-07:00

I guess I am a old American. I believe in the Constitution and the the rule of law. Constitutional law. Not judicial or congressional mandate alone. I don't believe in presidential authority to vacate the Constitution or established law.

That being said, I believe that our government is out of control and falls into the category of treasonous and tyrannical government without question, using the Constitution as a metric and founding intent as the datum.

I also understand the cowards that let this pass without comment as though they could slip under the wire without being noticed or those that actually are allowing this to happen out of apathy or due to lame support.

Following, I believe that people that now live in the U.S. ( I can no longer call them citizens or Americans, as we no longer think or act as 'Americans' and a HUGE percentage are not citizens) are against the general principles of the founders and freedom and liberty as established by the founders.

Desperate people from around the world have been imported, legally and illegally, via every manor of subversive technique. Many brought by government, provided with every manor of social support from the very second they hit American soil. Including paid for homes, credit cards with thousands of dollars in credit on them, drivers licenses and more.

Illegals have been not only tolerated but encouraged to break the law. They have been provided with every manor of social support at tax payer expense. California is paying the price now for at least partially using false logic to support a corrupt government. The U.S. government is now on course to hit the same reef. Progressive government has subverted America and Americans, locally and nationally.

The refusal to defend sovereign borders for what ever reason is cowardly and subversive, I don't care what your reasons.

To provide social benefits to non Americans while defending that action is deceitful and licentious by every person who advocates it. Period.

To provide that any illegal child born inside the borders of the nation makes that person a 'citizen' while stating that it takes both parents being citizens and of legal age in order to infer citizenship to a potential presidential candidate is deceitful and full of crap.

Citizens are being lied to... by their CONGRESS PERSONS for the sole purpose of sustaining their own carers.
This points up the fact that their careers must (by default) be more valuable than the average life of an American. I wonder how a bunch of lawyers wound up in that situation after the founders went to so much trouble to ensure it never happened?

Government today has leveraged our future. Our children's future and their children and their children and their children and their children and even possibly their children.

Government fools subvert America

2009-07-05T07:18:00.000-07:00

Over the Fourth of July weekend I read this (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103117) story about an investigator that was expelled from a conference in D.C. who had not created any disturbance, reportedly, but was at the same time framed by CAIR and ISNA in documents provided to local police as he was being forcibly ejected from the event.

D.C. police were only too happy to use the information to detain the former Air Force Special Agent for questioning. In this example we see American police forces being used as ignorant tools for Islamic extremist groups for the purposes of discrimination.

In another article we see our courts system being used to silence (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102989) reporters and citizens who speak or Blog on Islam who do so in a non supportive manor. Attempting to silence free speech Rights in America by using their Right to free speech. A tactic used to very effective ends by the left in our nation. Of course, I'm not talking about our feckless main sleaze media, they are huge supporters of terrorism and fascist tactics.

Islam frequently makes claims of being tolerant and a peaceful religion, usually from the most intolerant and least peaceful among the faithful of that religion, in this article they demonstrate the lack of both peace and tolerance for what appears to be collective insanity when a Christian driving a tractor tried to pass a muslim on a motorcycle (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102978). Now I know this seems like a huge breach of driving protocols but to react like this seems a bit childish, but maybe it's just me.

While our own President subverts sanctions on Iran (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1097644.html) who is clearly a threat to the entire world but especially the middle east.
And the incoming IAEA chief acts as an enabler and apologist for Iran's nuclear ambitions (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443713159&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull) as America continues to display an unwavering willingness to grovel in front of the worlds tyrants.

In this article (http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2009/07/04/cornyn_booed_at_capitol_tea_pa.html) Senator Cornyn of Texas had the gall to attend a Tea Party and defend his efforts at supporting crippling taxes and economic destruction in the Presidents plan to redistribute wealth in America, and can't understand why he wasn't received well by people he is attempting to dominate through tyranny.

Here we see our own government AG (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102969) cowering and acting like an enabler for a potentially non Constitutional president, when a simple act of investigation could clear up the question of eligibility within as few as 48 hours. At the same time our own Houses of Congress deny any responsibility for following the Constitution in regards to requisites to the office (http://www.joplinglobe.com/joplin_metro/local_story_184215954.html) in this article.

Here we see actual fascist techniques used by a democratic party blog site that was critical in the success of the presidents campaign (http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/07/huffpo_writer_palin_to_run_on.html) using rhetoric that is clearly discriminatory and in the poorest of taste and it is not disavowed by the left as such. Any rational person knows this would not be tolerated by the left should a GOP supporter have made these nasty remarks.

Here the U.S. A.G. (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102919) makes claims that 'Gays' are protected but not ministers in testimony on a Bill before congress on hate crimes, as the Senate proposes a bill that would actually fine Americans that deny the governments health care plan (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jlMpJGn28kqCcgU-aGcYE_ZHW-ywD996I6VO0) in this article.

Now this isn't all of the coverage of the day, but it is a sampling of articles taken to support my contention that Americas power structure has lost it's collective mind.

The administration is one of the most diverse in history and includes more people of minority status as a result. Many from a period of Americas history where delusion and paranoia ruled their decision making and actions some of which were criminal. Since entering office a strong element of protectionism has created multiple layers of both physical and policy entrenchment protection aimed at all Americans who don't support the new president.

While democrats made wild and serious threats on the previous GOP president without consideration for his right to serve as elected, no tolerance for disapproval here.
In my estimation this amounts to something called mass delusional paranoia. Yes, there is such a thing.

It is fomented by deeply held beliefs in their youth of their victimization by a 'thoughtless' government and shared between these groups of 'minorities' that were fostered and engendered at frequent meetings where these beliefs were discussed in detail along with plans for actions to counter them. Some of them dangerous and some even terrorist.

Once in power immediate focused attempts at entrenchment, protection, executive orders and policy statements pointing fingers at common every day Americans as enemies of the administration simply because of their diversity, demonstrate paranoia clearly. After all, it was the every day common American that elected him in the first place.

But oddly, once these tools were in place appointments to the administration took on a decidedly surreal appearance as they embraced all of the things common every day Americans never supported, in the appointments of people that didn't support our government the way common every day Americans were always told they should and now were being threatened to show, or else.

These folks didn't want to enforce laws of sovereignty, they didn't want to respect our military and actually suggested veterans are a threat to our nation while ignoring terrorists known and unknown, some even associated with the president himself, support for criminal organizations like ACORN, a common thread of appointments demonstrated that many, if not most, were tax evaders, many from inside the democratic party itself. They wanted censorship in media and got it voluntarily from most media, many media swore supportive allegiance as virtual members on the payroll in efforts to promote the new administrations policies before they were even verbalized. In fact, most still haven't been adequately fleshed out for context and remain subjective, I believe, for the sole purpose of applying punishment when disagreement becomes too vocal.

The cynically suspected payoffs began before the doors swung shut behind the new president as he walked into the white house.
Cronies, fraternity brothers, lobbyists, fellow members of the 'hate America' crowd, nepotism et al were given enormous sums of money with claims of 'stimulus', but the huge majority of that money still hasn't trickled down and vast sums of it are now missing, unaccounted for and efforts at tracing it are being suppressed by both houses of congress, most likely because they have some of the money in their bank accounts.

The presidents claims of transparency and openness in his administration have all, nearly every single one, been evaded. Even the most liberal of reporters, Helen Thomas, has seen the lack of openness and transparency, and that is saying something.

The press secretary is an unparalleled idiot. The white house spokesman is a conman of an unprecedented nature. Answers to the most innocuous questions are denied and evaded as though they were state secrets or national security issues. Whether or not this is due to pure ignorance or deceit won't be known until an action comes at a later time costing Americans money, focus and maybe lives.

Americans, finally, have begun to see the light as their jobs have vanished like fog being burned off. Money has disappeared from every manor of investment and equity that took Americans decades to build for their futures has disappeared right before their eyes. Much of it was the fault of democratic financial regulators who didn't so much fail to see the coming disaster as much as they refused to look at the metrics they were charged with monitoring and acting as their responsibilities dictated. In common terms this is dereliction pure and simple.

Part of the problem was policy designed to cause the failure. Bonuses were established for management in critical positions for the number, quantity of and value of mortgages provided to people who should never have had them in the first place. Virtually socialized housing before we have socialized housing.
First the housing industry will have to collapse and the banking and finance sectors have to follow. Then government can nationalize housing just like it has with the banks, automakers and is trying to do to the health industry. And you can bet it's coming.

The financial collapse of this nation has been on the agenda of both houses of congress for a long time. It has to have been. To be this incompetent, to be this blind, to be this behind the eight ball on all of these things is to be the class clown in eighth grade but instead these clowns are in congress or the senate. It just defies all odds of intellectual competence and honesty. Period.

Only a moron would believe that this was serendipity.

Whether or not this is some non spoken agenda or some desire to get out from under the soaring pressures of international debit and leadership or some confused belief that 'we could all get along' if only the U.S. wasn't the worlds whipping boy is hard to estimate. But it really doesn't matter. Just the simple fact that our government has taken a turn from a goal of vigilance and the best interest of Americans and America to some perverted interpretation based in socialist values or worse some warped idea of globalization where America needs to genuflect before the world in an appeal of humility in a display of fallen grace before we can become accepted for our contributions.

But clearly the turn has been made, where ever it goes. And equally clearly, it has been made without the consent or appeal to "We the People" for any approval... just for the financing of it.

To me, it seems as though we have returned from where we originally came: serfdom.

Government doesn't ask the holders of the power ("We the People") for any thing. It demands every thing from us and gives almost nothing in return and in ever increasing escalation of it's own authority it destroys our liberties and freedoms without a consideration. Just like it did for the pilgrims before they changed the world by escaping that tyranny by going to America.

It's time that Americans yank the rug of privilege out from under the feet of out of control government. If we don't regain our rightful place as the power holders of the freedoms and liberties of our founders original intentions and soon, we will be no more than fodder for the self aggrandizement of a government that has turned into belligerent, pompous, arrogant and ineffective robber barons in a collective cabal of criminals called 'government' that believes it deserves special privilege over Americans and coming generations.

...in my humble but lovable opinion...

Government and Technology Team up to take control

2009-06-30T16:45:00.000-07:00

With out much real thought a reasonable person can conclude, rather quickly, that government has taken a nose dive directly into the Socialist pool in the last six months. But it was well into the Arc of the Diver well before the present insanely out of control administration was sworn in.

Politicians of all ilks have taken a view of themselves that is incredibly disturbing to the people they claim to represent. Frankly, they have also taken a view of the people they represent that is equally disturbing.

Elected officials have taken a view of personal celebrity as their mantle of presumed respect. Rather than the idea of 'service with honor' for people that deserve the best service they can muster in support of issues that are of considerable importance to the liberty of citizens.

With the help of a feckless media they get continuous unquestioned adoration and adulation, a stage that replays selected sound bites taken specifically for conveying the message of socialism as the one way to 'fix' America while disregarding any counter argument that might support or reconsider our foundation in individual liberty, freedom and self government as the possible path to correcting our decline.

Why? I'm not sure I can adequately address the question of why, but I will attempt to do so.

It certainly isn't as simple as a one line statement of conclusion. The answer, I believe, lies more in the perversion of the human condition.

We have destroyed the goals of proper education in the name of indoctrination.

We have intentionally taken the freedom of business owners discretion away and supplanted it with government policy that regulates it.

We have allowed business and industry to literally bribe our elected officials using the lobby industry for favorable regulations for their business and to construct regulation to punish competing business.

We have allowed judges to virtually write law from the bench.

We have permitted elected officials to ignore constituencies, usurp powers not delegated to them and to create powers never intended to be under their purview under any circumstances.

We have allowed powers that were ours to be wrenched from us under deceitful circumstances.

We have permitted our government to balkanize our nation for self serving purposes, endangering the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of each and every citizen and the government itself for the purposes of self interested politicians.

We have permitted irresponsible behavior of Congresspersons and Senators in the course of doing the work of the people and abdicated our responsibility for holding them accountable to strict limitations literally delineated by the founding documents.

This list goes on for a long time, but I'm sure you get the picture. It was the designed feature of the original founding documents that "We the People" hold the power to control government, lest government use unrestrained power to install tyrannical self serving government. Exactly what we have today.

About 30 years ago serious changes in the business world began in earnest. Don't get me wrong, these failures have been a long time coming, but the advent of computers has accelerated the process of stealing, yes that's the word I wanted to use, stealing the power that was clearly and very intentionally placed with great care into the hands of the American people by the founders of this nation.

Today, you can use a computer. You can use the internet. But you can only use the internet with the permission of companies that allow you the access and the use of resources that you and I paid for, to a great extent, so that they could profit from it.

You have to be careful of what you say in the use of those resources, lest you loose the Political Correctness police on your opinions, who will go to great lengths to remove your ability to communicate using these powerful tools, or worse, destroy you in an overt effort to silence opinions that differ from prescribed dogmatic doctrine supported by business (which get's it's 'okie-dokey' to conduct business from government) and government.

Government dictates the policies that business must abide by or lose the "privilege" to do business in America. Today, you don't have the 'right' to be in business in America. Government grants you permission to conduct business under a great volume of prescribed rules and regulations never intended by our founders and significant costs (read taxes) are associated with going into business.

Media is a virtual lap dog of government. All forms of media demonstrate clearly shameful, humiliating and self debasing postures in their fawning caricatures of absolute government abuses as they attempt to engender an attitude of favor from government in general and specific officials and sweeten the picture presented to the public. Not to mention the fact that they have forsaken their own original intent, to act as a watch dog (not lap dog) on government abuses.

With the new technologies now so prevalent and new ones being developed daily, it seems, the use as a literal propaganda weapon is a forgone conclusion. If you are a mental Pygmy whose intellect was successfully stifled by the dangerous indoctrination system we commonly refer to as our 'public schools' you can use any kind of invective as a bludgeon against more rational and 'respectful of others Rights' thoughts.

While the 'respectful of others Rights' crowd is commonly shut down by the stupid using fascist techniques, manipulating the resource in a more personal political effort to silence strong rational argument opposing lame socialist dogmatic doctrine they were forced to adhere to in the education camps we call 'public schools.'

Now, I'm not against individual thought. If you are a true believer in socialism for some obscure reason of exposure to inadequate rational learning, you can believe all you want. But to regurgitate talking points that were dictated to you seems a limited application of the intellect in your possession by virtue of just being able to walk around upright.

Being told what to think, isn't the definition being educated. Being taught HOW to think (and actually mastering rational thought) is the goal of proper education since the earliest efforts of one human instructing another in the art of rational thought or coming to a conclusion based on facts.

It was the tyrannical application of government rule or ruling authority that drove the most intelligent humans to find a more respectful environment in which to dwell since the earliest times in recorded history.
Any moron can be told what to do. And he will do it, in most cases. Try that with a person of intelligence and you may find a different result than you expected.

Some where I heard that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I believe that to be true. Intentions have little bearing on ending results unless they are coupled with qualified rational consideration of all the pertinent facts.

Government has slowly but surely restructured itself, as almost all governments do, to divest any vestige of power from it's subjects (before they become subjects) that may reside there and accumulate it under the authority of their sole discretion. Any person of even fair education would not argue that point. The founders knew it well, for they were students of history.

Today, few people would recognize this as a fact. Or recognize that today we see this truth being executed in our lives at break neck speed. History is being rewritten and in the interim it is being neglected to be taught. Teachers are the tools of socialism.

If there is one thing I have learned in my life it is that the farther up the educational ladder you go the more like a child you become. Intolerant of others and their thoughts, childish in individual behavior and the more socialistic one becomes in their philosophy. I've worked with PhD's in medicine, technology, science, engineering and education. This rule holds true across the spectrum, in my experience. There is nothing you can tell an educated person that they haven't already been told in what way they should think about it, concluding any pretext of potential discussion.
Present government refers to it as: The debate being over. Or, it's settled science. As if anything in science is ever actually "settled."

Together the trident of social tyranny, education and media, technology and government itself have combined into a weapon of considerable influence and obviously malicious intent in the goal established many decades ago of advancing a global government.

I know, it sounds insane. I have thought the same thing for many years. And never ever dared to think it to myself. But, as I learned as a young man; 'Actions speak louder than any words.'

Think about it. We have a unique perspective from which to view the argument. The United States of America has a very special origin. It begins with a Contract. The Constitution is a contract. It is an agreement with the people for the construction of a 'government' under very specific limitations. And it was agreed to by both the people and the leadership that was to form the first beginnings of our government using great care and tremendous character by widely disparate individuals.

But the deal was done and to every ones general satisfaction that government would be properly restrained from the under currents of human desires to, as 'Tears for Fears' put it: "Everybody wants to Rule the World", and take over as all previous governments had done.

But it was up to "We the People" to keep government from it's natural tendency to dominate human life. And the Constitution was very clear about that. But as was expected political leaders almost immediately began attempts to undermine the effort. But what wasn't expected was that "We the People" would find keeping up with shyster politicians would be a full time job for each and every citizen. We expected people of integrity and honor to do the honorable thing and abide by the rules. But if honor were a virtue easy to keep it would be common among men. And it isn't. Even among men that might be considered honorable.

The result has been the some times slow and some times not so slow intentional destruction of the restrictions on government and the equally intentional destruction of the powers vested in "We the People" by the Constitution. Even the Rights proclaimed to be derived directly from natures God to man since the earliest periods of human sense of self was first discovered and probed by rational thought have been the target of government dissolution for it's own purposes.

Now if that doesn't evoke some thoughts of 'the evils of government' nothing will. It's important to remember that government is not some 'only' abstract creation of man but it is also run by men. In our case, supposedly by a peer, or peers, of ours.

So, from where does this undeniably insatiable and seemingly uncontrollable behavior of domination of fellow humans originate? And why do leaders fall into the trap in the first place? And what causes them to actually want to censor the thoughts of supposedly free people?

I have obviously never been president, so I can't say. I have been a leader before though. I have led groups of men in the military and in industry. And I can honestly say I never had the syndrome. So maybe it has to do with being in charge of HUGE numbers of people. The most people I ever had working "subordinate" to me was about 70.

I had a problem with one or two individuals but never more than that. They had the same problem I had until I became a leader myself and that was a dislike for leadership. Actually, I had it long after I became a leader too. I still have it. Because of the tendency for most leaders to fall prey to the trap of the syndrome.

As I write this, my government has taken a decidedly and even recognized by government itself, turn for socialism. And a strong one at that. Now, I also am aware of the possibility that the POTUS is not an American as required by law. But he is only the enabler, the real dirty work is done by hundreds of other elected persons, I can only assume really are Americans. And they still haven't the understanding of what they are doing, or they do and don't care, what they are doing to the nation. Irresponsible government or tyrannical government? Is one worse than the other at the end of the day?

Today information, or news, comes from around the world at break neck speed. But it is closely filtered and utterences scrupulously censored prior to the spoken word is reported in order to achieve a specific thought in the 'consumers' mind. This is out right manipulation of information or what was commonly refered to during the Cold War as propganda when Russia was doing it. Today, it's called politcal correctness but a rose by any other name still smells the same.

Government Incompetence

2009-06-29T10:09:00.000-07:00

It's a sad day for the United States of America.

Government has made many sweeping turns in it's existence here. Men and some women of considerable intellect worked with a diligence and determination of an epic nature that seemed as though it were their destiny to create a near perfect union.

Their commitment to thoughtfulness and their sense of community lent a sophistication to the effort that far exceeds the most exercised contest in our government today. Our present government couldn't carry water for the founders by comparison. Yet, we think we are so smart. Ignorance truly is bliss. But when it is confounded by arrogance it becomes a dangerous precedent for foolishness.

Our present government is a body of total fools. The sadness comes from the witnessing of something so beautiful and so wonderful being so recklessly abused and systematically destroyed. Whether or not it is by intent or by careless ignorance is hardly relevant, but it would be interesting to know the motivation for the seemingly overt effort to dissemble the virtually artistic construction that was The United States and her Constitution by sworn protectors of it.
Wouldn't it?

It hardly seems possible that 535 people could all be ready to throw in the towel on liberty and freedom, especially if they were educated, right? Every day, though, these people demonstrate a new level of contempt or carelessness for maintaining the fire for the flame of liberty. Acting in fact more like an extinguisher than as fuel or maintenance for it.

Every day, these and many other, educated people disappoint me in the application of their so called informed decision making. I have worked side by side with some very highly educated men and women. From medical doctors to scientists. Engineers and educators. One thing that strikes me as odd among all of them, is the more educated they are, the more accomplished their achievements, the more childish their behavior and closed minded they become in their outlook.

More descriptive adjectives could be used to evoke a more visceral picture of my own disgust with the results of such an achievement of human determination that concludes in the pitiful culmination displayed by these folks, generally speaking.

Their behavior is atrocious. Most have no concept of grace. No manors, no poise. Acting instead like sniveling children spoiled by unworthy praise for unremarkable efforts. A near perfect description of our present government.

Today I read where a California congress woman called the threat of being voted out of office a terrorist threat. And accused the opposition party of terrorist threats for saying they were going to do so.
Now, I have no doubt that this idiot is no intellectual icon nor is she likely to be in consideration for for any intellectual awards, at least not right away. But she has been elected to state office by her community. That should tell you something about them as well.

Government has moved itself beyond any preconceived notions of sustaining a balance of rational thought in it's work and into the realm of complete irrationality. These are symptoms of fascistic government. Where surrealism meets common reality in a cosmic clash of stupidity that is taken in stride by unconcerned constituents. And where government itself continues on as if no particular recognition of historic events of cosmic idiocy is necessary.

Government has become dysfunctional. Not just federal government, but government at every level. It refuses contrition to not only failures but incredibly destructive ones. Almost every politician is involved in a scheme to make money from their exposure to tax payer money. And that isn't an exaggeration.

The previously commonly understood virtues of humanity that elevated civilization from merely living in proximity to being honorable in one another eyes have been flushed from our collective memory in favor of subjective relativism and moral decay in an almost cavalier nonchalant gesture of haste for self gratification. To me, that's real terrorism.

We aren't only now victims of a wildly careening out of control government, we are cultivating mans inhumanity to man like most people used to cultivate a garden.

Sure, I make it sound so bad, right? Well, if education was the goal of our 'public schools' you would know the definition of tyranny, fascism, socialism, anarchy and the like. You wold have studied examples of societies that underwent these changes and how they actually happened. You'd understand government abuse and over reaching government usurpation of your liberties and freedoms, instead of encouraging them, the fault mostly of ignorance.

Still there seems to be an almost gleeful attitude at the demise of the nation, our principles and our historical achievements. As though we had it coming or some thing. This bespeaks of the fetid socialist indoctrination centers that our eduction system has blossomed into.

Now that we have all had the time to reflect on the causes and the failures that led to the financial crisis it has become crystal clear that government itself was to blame, nearly 100%.

So called Financial Regulators could not have failed any more miserably if they had drawn up a plan to do so.

Legislators could not have abetted the effort any more if they had been given a blue print of an intended failure. And their cover up has been sheer as clear plastic. The excuses for their dereliction couldn't be less effective coming from a 5 year old.

The childishness of the behavior by congress has left a large segment of the population wondering if we have become a legislative copy of the British Parliamentary model of bickering, sandbox rivalry and physical confrontation. (Re: Maxine Waters and David Obey shoving match June 26, 2009 on the house floor).

Legislation coming from our immature behaving 'leaders' has been as irresponsible as it has been economically unsound. Almost every Bill has been passed without debate or even reading it's content in both the House and the Senate. Enormous amendments are attached with special interest pay offs at the very last second before a vote, also without reading, as a way to further undermine the due process of the Congress.

Pompous arrogant self righteous and out right narcissistic in public and in session these people do not properly represent the constituencies they come from with the honor their seat commands, and suborn the ethics of the office by doing so.

But getting past the obvious dereliction and contempt displayed by the legislature, we find incompetence to be their next largest failure, collectively and individually, as they have come to believe that they understand the process and operate within it beyond any reproach, which is the definition of pure insanity based on the results achieved and the methods used.

They are clearly operating outside the bounds of the Constitutional limits of the founders and do so with tremendous contempt for the oath to 'uphold and defend' the very document they swore to abide, by swearing an oath with their hand on the word of God as a gesture of 'good faith', a Bible. Now, in previous years, and in previous cultures, an oath was sacrosanct. I dare say each of them would hold each and every American soldier to the oath that they swear to, that is nearly identical to the one they take.

Yet, to Congress, the Senate and now the Presidency we see it holds virtually no meaning what so ever. It's barely considered a formality. And in this presidents case he refused to use one. Demonstrating a considered lack of 'good faith' as his statement of oath to the American people.

And when inquires are made as to their dismal performance? they attack the inquisitor as though he or she were an enemy of the state and a personal threat.

Abuse of the power of the Congress and Senate are rampant and beyond excusable under any circumstance of representative government, in my humble but lovable opinion.

The new administration is headed by a true socialist at heart but his immaturity politically, diplomatically, legislatively, intellectually and his shallow character have been clearly manifest in his performance. He has worked for many years as a "community organizer" slash establishment saboteur.

He has strong ties to anti constitutionalists, anti capitalist, anti American and even domestic terrorist protagonists, even convicted terrorists. Yet, support for his fascist style of government and subversive views is strong among residents in America and in government and he couldn't find a more adoring or fawning crowd of cheerleaders in the media if he hand picked them himself. Suggesting that the media is already well entrenched in socialist doctrine as part of their journalistic indoctrination and corporate policy, well ahead of the need for a subversive press.

Considering the entire front now arrayed against the Constitutional government of our founders, the future of the nation as it was conceived, is in serious jeopardy of it's existence, pretty much right on schedule, as the founders had originally warned.

Lazy and subversive press, politicians, career government persons, crappy schools and an apathetic citizen population have fomented an atmosphere of a caustic nature that is eroding the foundations of our system of government and our social culture.

Relative morality, revisionist history, and really, overt socialist education have done their dirty deed as international jealousy and domestic covetousness have sowed the seeds of sympathetic self hate within the population with enough emphasis to the unthinking ignorant masses to supplant rational thought and informed logical analysis with selfish motivations for property that belongs to others delivered by government through redistribution of wealth in it's desperation to buy votes with gifts of money from those who worked for it and given to those who won't. And in order to achieve socialist government control.

We have seen the destructive and also openly socialist influence of unions as they steal money from the productive and pocket the majority of the money for themselves, increasing costs and unquestionably destroying the very business they purport to support as workers as they slowly socialize industry and subvert private business and capitalism itself.

We have seen overt cronyism supplant due process of government with bribes the size of which has never been seen before on planet earth. Bald face lies used to cover the truth thinly veil the corruption, and no recourse for "We the People" is allowed in our now compromised 'justice' system, as judges vie for political recognition in their ambitious efforts to rake in some of the booty for their own legacy themselves while denying petitions for justice from citizens.

The government has forced our manufacturing base, the large majority of it, off shore using punishing taxation and business stifling regulation to level the 'economic playing field' in nations that other wise might never have seen such opportunity due to their systemic societal corruption that pervades virtually every nook and cranny of these marginal societies. Forcing a economic structure to develop on intellectually unsophisticated and immature, not to mention corrupt, social structures prematurely has not lowered costs but actually increased them.

This destruction of our manufacturing base here at home has set the stage for what I believe to be the intentional collapse of our economy in the image of the goal established for world wide socialism when the U.N. was conceived more than 50 years ago, under a global governing body using subjective criteria and varying standards of enforcement.

Now, don't get me wrong. The U.N. was a Noble idea in it's concept. It just can't possibly work with any degree of efficacy. The world would be at peace today and be in harmony already if peoples of vastly differing cultures could accept one an other's differences in the spirit of "diversity".

But that isn't possible without military conquest and compulsory assimilation. It hasn't ever been possible in human history, to date, and it won't be possible in the future.

We can see graphic examples this very day in North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, India, Pakistan, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Darfur and a host of other nations. Differences in cultures bring inherent differences in thoughts, religions, views, individual rights, historical perspectives, education, social structures, traditions and so many other points of contention that agreement is in fact impossible. Making 'fairness' as much a subjective or relative term as 'good'.

There is no way possible that conflict can be avoided without national sovereignty, a way to recognize the differences in cultures while respecting them and their laws. Even then, as history has established repeatedly, it's only a matter of time before ambitions, petty jealousy, and those ever present pesky contentious cultural differences.

But to get back to the re ordering of the world. Now that U.S. manufacturing has been disassembled 'here' and reassembled 'there' our nation has no way to recover from economic distress by building or manufacturing some 'thing' and selling it, jobs are gone.

With government mandating spending of money we don't have, we in debit ourselves to other nations for unheard of amounts.

Government has leveraged our finance sector by mandating that mortgages be provided to those that can not afford to pay them, to people who have no job, to those here illegally and many other financially risky loans. And we have seen that action cause a housing bubble, and the first 'busting' of one of those bubbles, costing tax payers nearly a Trillion dollars for this debacle alone. Not including the loss of equity to home owners.

This has caused banks and financial institutions to fail and require "bail outs", rather than be allowed to go bankrupt, using tax payer monies that aren't there to begin with. All of this financial burden falls directly on the shoulders of the American tax payer, and that amounts to less than 50% of the wage earning population in America. Nearly another Trillion dollars, thank you very much.

On top of all of this, Wall Street is filled with greedy market manipulators and has played an equally complicit roll in our financial failures. Investing your money on Wall Street is an increasingly poor idea. The volatility of the market makes going to Las Vegas look like a smart investment plan. Any "investment" that changes it's value as much as 20% in any given week is not a stable investment. They have robbed Americans of substantial reserves of discretionary use money by manipulating the commodities markets.

Collectively this caused the printing of money to be ordered. Which causes inflation and undermines the value of any existing currency in the system. Government denies this is the case, or that it is happening at all, but we all know that government is lying. Economics 101 has been taught in colleges and universities for many years.

Government has hidden the majority of economic health indicators from the public's view in recent years to prevent the comprehensive understanding of economic health beyond what it tells us. An example is M3. There are many more, such as the true unemployment numbers. The real number of illegal immigrants. The real number of "uninsured" in America. The real budget deficit. The real national debit level. The true cost of Medicare and Medicaid. The true cost of social security. You get the picture.

Now, consider the government's nationalization of several industries, finance and banking along with socialized health care, cap and trade carbon taxation, TARP, existing medicare, medicaid, social security debit, not to mention dozens of others not included here, while undermining the currency, manufacturing and continued rampant spending by legislative fiat, passing bills we don't have the money for and they aren't reading them or scoring them by the GAO and the recipe is clear. Default is what the government is trying to cause.

American default will cause our credit rating to drop. Already, nations are calling for a new reserve currency, which right now, happens to be ours. If we default loss of our credit rating will surely be the outcome. That will cause huge inflation, giant price increases, shortage of commodities ie energy, food, clothing, medicine and increased rate of foreclosure, more lost jobs and deflation will follow that... eventually.

Government says this isn't going to happen, but government was supposed to be watching the economic indicators in the first place to ensure stable and economically sound markets to prevent the problems we are seeing right now.

And they missed every single flag. Every single one. Forget, for the moment, that we are paying people gigantic sums of money and providing them exquisite benefits to over see these markets. How is that possible and still tell people that you are doing your job? Easy, they are lying. If lies were bricks these people would have mouthful of bloody 'Chiclets'.

Just how are we supposed to believe a government that wont' tell you the truth about anything?

The one thing that America has going for it today, and it is significant, is our founding documents and the original structure intended by our founders, including a capitalist economy, are still the best possibility to some day regain solid footing under our feet, financially and in geopolitical terms.

It will take a virtual second revolution, of a non violent nature, to restore that concept.

And, as you might expect, there is a significant caveat. That being that Americans themselves will need to savvy up, cowboy up and put their heads down and get to the work needed to turn this around. No revolution, peaceful or other, could succeed without massive revolt.

Government, according to the original construct, was supposed to be run by "We the People" via representative republican government principles.

Sadly, I don't see Americans showing up with the character, integrity and individual honor required to achieve this monumental task.

We have become fat and lazy and embraced ignorance as though it were our own mother. We have little to no motivation or commitment and our character is disturbingly shallow. Our maturity, as individuals, is that of a fifteen year old all the way past the age of thirty five and increasing.

We would need to begin by holding government accountable and getting business the hell out of the lobby industry. It would require government to return to representation of "We the People" and that ain't likely to happen in our lifetimes, if ever. We would need to root out the corruption that is rampant in government, the cronyism, the nepotism, the fraud and the waste would need to be extinguished. And honor, integrity, solid moral character and accountability would have to be returned to all three branches of government and that requires a return to those values at the individual and societal level because government is run by people and it is their character that determines how government is applied at the practical level and how they seek to change and implement change in government is determined by those values.

The art of diplomacy would have to become less about selling out of principle for favors and more about convincing arguments that would motivate re commitment to those principles for the benefit of all. Along with a healthy dose of humility. Less selfishness and more Americans doing 'for' America. Again, in the face of today's relative morality, childish selfishness and instant gratification mentality, not likely.

We have balkanized America. We have destroyed our culture intentionally from the top down by legislative mandate. Not by American choice. Without cohesive cultural ties to bind us as one, we can not stand as one, because we won't look at ourselves as one. We look at ourselves as tiny hyphenated cultural sub groups, divided by government for that specific purpose. For, what other purpose would it benefit America or Americans to be divided? It wouldn't. And it doesn't. But we accept it like it means something to each of us.

How is it that this has happened to us? Cloward-Piven. Anti capitalist (socialist), anti constitutional (fascist) government activists. Of which or present president is a student. (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?)

Not 'equal Rights for all', but 'equality' for all. A big difference. Subtle in context but huge in practical application. And it is being applied by activists both civil and government and unknowingly by idiotic politicians who are uneducated, virtually undermining their own efforts to retain strong government. All are funded by tax payer monies. Besides being a 'pipe dream' and a plank of the communist manifesto, equality for all is just not possible, no matter what you do. People aren't equal. We have equal opportunity, but we aren't of equal capability, so equality can't be achieved for all. This is a 'trick' of words.

We are witnessing the last gasping breaths of a dying constitutional representative republican form of self government and capitalist society that has lost the self discipline required to perpetuate itself by trading it for what ever we could compromise at the moment for our self gratification. We have lost our individual and our collective character. We sold it to remain adolescents, rather than mature into responsible adults.

In it's place we are creating a socialist government using fascist techniques and that suggests tyranny is at least part of the goal.

The torch that was passed to us to perpetuate the flame of individual freedom and liberty by the "Greatest Generation", we have let die out due to our laziness and lack of moral character. We have second guessed the requirements entrusted to us, and we have guessed poorly. Now we must accept the consequences for our lack of courage to face maturity, to face our destiny as the one time progenitors of liberty and freedom, and admit a preponderance of cowardice as our legacy.

We must wave good bye to freedom and admit our complicity in it's failure, not only here but for those with such ambitions every where on the earth. We haven't just failed our selves and our ancestors, we have failed repressed peoples who would seek freedom all over the world today and tomorrow. A more miserable shameful legacy could not be constructed if you sat down and thought about how to make one reality.

In the words of Sir William Wallace: "For what will you do without freedom?"

2009-05-24T17:41:00.000-07:00

Sure, it's been a long time since I last posted, but let me tell you, it's been a lot of B.S. between then and now.

Being a veteran, I'm surprised and disappointed by the American public and a bit embarrassed by our complacency and our ignorance.

I am wearied and tired by the lack of support, spirit, and substance of our own people. We lack funding, materials and actual emotional support. War is a terribly emotional drain. People don't realize how physically draining it is to be 'at war.'

It takes a tremendous amount of emotional reserves to remain at 100% alertness all of the time. It's draining. It makes you question your motives. It makes you question your countries motives. It makes you question your support structures and their motives.

But our recently new CNC makes one wonder a bit more than normal about support of all types.

He seems a bit immature. Politically, diplomatically, legislatively and emotionally. To me.

He's indecisive, inarticulate and some what inept. He has had to change his own position more than once within only a few days of making a position statement. This is immaturity at it's finest.

Some thing I find a bit interesting is the lack of fiscal understanding of the general population. It's obvious that the new administration has no economic sense at all and is willing to sacrifice the entire nation for specific socialist goals. I don't want to be the one to say it but this seems a bit frightening, to me.

I never expected my own government to not only put us into this kind of a place but then to entrench us as though we were expected to spend the rest of our existence in this position and we are supposed to tell our children that they, too, are expected to spend their entire existence funding a government that has no concern for their Rights as expressed by our founders except for the tax revenues generated by the work that they do.

I wish I could tell you that you are woefully uneducated, and that you don't understand that we are back where we started. As surfs. But you wouldn't believe that. Government schools have taught you that they know best.

You've been 'educated' by the public school system. You know everything. I couldn't possibly tell you something you don't know already.

Yet, I tell you, we are back 'there.' We have been forsaken. We have been sold out. We are pieces of a machine and no more. A government machine. People are of no consequence except that which we can fund by our own productivity. Beyond that we are worthless to our government.

I wish you could understand that we have been sold for our ability to produce. We have been leveraged to China for the next 150 years at the very least by our government. The very people we have elected to represent us in government have sold us to the Chinese. Not 'just' B. J. Clinton, who we all know sold sophisticated technology to the communist chinese while he was in office. Our entire political system is suborning our sovereignty today.

Government believes it knows 'everything' and that 'we' can't contribute to the 'bigger' picture because we are too ignorant. Too stupid to know the "burden" that they believe they bear. But they bear no burden whatsoever. WE, bear the burden. THEY only commit us to that burden without consideration.

They go home with GREAT benefits and pay... for ever! We get the shaft AND have to pay for their mistakes.

The real issue is that citizens don't know and for the most part don't care. Yet.

I can't believe that we still have people that are willing to go to fight for this country and for 'freedom' when we don't have either citizens or government that appreciate the sacrifice that they make or the reasons for which they make them.

The government that we have recently elected to office has no idea of the cost of the freedom that it enjoys or the sacrifice of those that have paid for it. And it doesn't care. At all.

Sure, you can elicit a response from politicians that may reflect some sense of the sacrifice of our military but the true measure of their respect comes from the exposure they inflict on our troops. And you can see the exposure. And the vacillation of commitment once they have placed them in the field of fire.

This is intolerable from our government. It's disrespectful and it's duplicitous. It should be criminal.

Government has determined that besides paying off cronies it also want's to nationalize business. And not just any business, but businesses that are victimized by extortionist unions.

Unions have done more to aid the collapse of big business in this financial disaster than most people understand.

Not that government, business itself and the finance sectors aren't complicit. But from the aspect of the working man unions have destroyed the business that they leech off of.

Of course greed is a primary motivator and after that power over the business itself, paradoxically. Power over wages, power over benefits, hours, conditions, equipment and over the workers rights to individualism even outside of the work place, political power.

But now government owns and runs several major industries and influences those it doesn't own. It has appointed czars over large swaths of industry, finance and even resources. It has driven private business owners out of family run businesses that have existed for generations with the 'stroke of the pen'. While denying it's desire to run business in much the same way that Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea et al, have done, it usurps the rights of private small business and tosses the owners aside in favor government controls.

Now 'health care' is in it's sights. And people seem to love the idea. But it's not that health care is bad. On the contrary, it's recognized as the best in the world. The problem is "costs". What people don't realize is that to control costs government must ration health care. Rationing means a dearth of health care, not as much as you want for free. But fools are a dime a dozen today.

Rationing means terminating health care for many elderly recipients at some point to be determined by a 'rule of thumb' or some other subjective criteria. Now Wisconsin's health care has been cited as being exceptional. It seems that costs for people in the last six months of their lives has been reduced in that state and they are being cited as exemplary for that 'savings.' Which could mean that the last six months of your life could be determined by some pencil neck from government.

The real kicker is that no one knows when those six months are on the clock. Some government appointee will be determining that time line. But rest assured, it won't be until they are sure they have gotten everything from you that is possible.

Denial of the cause of the economic crash 2008

2008-11-14T13:49:00.000-08:00

This is for my own satisfaction.

I see and hear the government making a lot of noise about the economic disaster presently at hand. At first late this summer, no one would admit there was even a problem. Then like the blinding flash of a marsupial we witnessed government lethargy in full motion. At first imperceptible to detect and then like the tidal surge of lava from a volcano oozing onto the scene, government had convinced itself to act.

With the economic knowledge we have come to expect from the men behind the curtain they fought each other over which levers to pull to 'stimulate' the economy. As they rapidly pulled one lever after another they advised Americans that these things take a while to take effect. But all the while they kept looking for indications it was working.

The disaster that took years to come to full bloom because of the institutionalized systematic corruption of our already compromised government system was about to be aided in it's demise. Caused by rabid over spending, corrupt business, criminal book keeping practices from both business and government and partisan competition the answer was simple: pick up the pace of spending even further.

Without so much as a single study (how odd for these weasels), they granted $700Billion taxpayer dollars to businesses about to go down for the third time. But even that couldn't pass with out 15% pork added on for partisan ear marks. Systemic corruption now institutionalized.

Don't let these weasels fool you. Government gets ALL of it's money from YOU. They can print as much as they want, it all comes back to the tax payers pocket book as a check written.

Without mentioning too many names giant companies in terms of their bottom line were foundering. Millions would be hurt. But government more than any one. As revenues drop so do government tax receipts. Rather than a sanity check and a spending freeze these brilliant men and women chose an entirely unexpected route: increase spending faster than any previous attempts.

As a matter of fact they immediately handed billions to the first big giant just in time to pay their executives and board members their exorbitant salaries, perks and filled their rapidly deflating golden parachutes and funded their annual rewards parties. Whew! Thank goodness.

Just when you thought irresponsibility and contempt for tax payers couldn't actually go any further than it had, it does. Government will never let you down there.

That being insufficient for real results as they continue to look for the effects of the economic lever pulling more money was poured into the vast expanse of criminal economic corruption in hopes of filling it so fast even the crooks in big business couldn't spend it fast enough and some would trickle over into the economy for the common man.

Even that haphazard attempt failed (surprise). How could this be?

Government and business are in fact tied at the hip. Right where your wallet connects. It was government that not only enabled this entire mess they actually encouraged it, believe it or not.

It was lobbyists that got government to lift and or change the regulations placed on business (one of governments prime responsibilities is to regulate interstate, intrastate and international commerce) to keep certain specific disasters at bay. Like the potential for institutionalized corruption and for it to become systemic or actually part of the way business is conducted. Darn if that didn't work either.

Business execs and politicians are educated in some of the most prestigious institutions in the world where business itself and economics are concerned. Right here in these United States. But, darn if that education didn't take either. Their high dollar educations failed not only them but the entire United States and now the better part of the rest of the planet. What are the odds?

With business 'leaders' (CEO's, CFO's et al) pushing the envelope of compensation, perks and the affore mentioned golden parachutes, virtually robbing the company of it's profits, stock holders of dividends and government of tax revenues as they sent boat loads off shore to reduce their 'tax' exposure all of which take money out of the system just the same way the governments neglect of our sovereignty issues allowed illegals to do the same thing. We can see with out going too much further that the system was allowed to fail. But we aren't done yet.

They also had to cook the books a bit here and there in order for this to look more palatable and not so blatant. Not so bad the government had three sets of books and created a fourth just for this occasion. Criminal for you and me to the point we'd be staring at striped sunlight for two or maybe three eternities, depending on how much of an example they wanted to make of us.

But to business and government, not so much.

As businesses passed their taxes on to customers and the expenses of their compensation other write offs sustained by lobbyists had to be secured. More expense. More parties. Kenneth Lay of the infamous Enron debacle is literally nothing compared to this. And he was going to prison. That is until he virtually killed himself. He really showed us.

Okay, I've hit business pretty hard but not knocked out. Let's take a moment and look at government complicity.

Good ol' Barney Frank. They call him Mr. Money. Congressional overseer of FannieMae and FreddieMac. THE largest mortgage holders in the nation. And as a side note: Mr. Money, Barney Frank, was having a homosexual affair with an executive of FannieMae for a couple of years during the build up to their failure. Hardly a conflict of interest there worth mentioning, eh? Years ago Mr. Frank was asked about the solvency of the institutions he was over seeing. "A OK". Was the response. 17 times. Probably could've been a rocket scientist but chose public service instead. What a guy. er gay.. er never mind.

Christopher Dodd yet another money overseer was also blind sided by the disaster as it slammed into his institutions of fiscal over sight. Man, those Ivy league schools are beginning to look like they could use some revamping. Maybe some federal money..? nah. During this time Gamie Gorelick (another Clinton administration appointee of infamy) was on the payroll at either Fannie or Freddie, I don't remember which, getting $5million dollars a year for..? It's hard to say at this point, but what ever it was it was wasted.

As results don't lie. But these liars got results for their managers.

Coupled with ravenous congressional over spending, ear marks and special interest group funding these money geniuses, created right here in our best 'schools', have been running this nation into the ground for quite some time.

Had they done their jobs and upheld their sworn obligations to this nation and it's citizens we might not be talking about this. But I don't have that much faith in government.

Right now all of the affore mentioned are working like hell to point their fingers at anyone and everyone else.

I wrote to my 'congressmen and senators' (just a note: some coincidence the first three letters in their title are CON, eh?) and told them I want to see the sunset blocked out by the pile of hides of these criminal bastards. But they are going to place the blame on defaulting mortgage holders that they themselves provided mortgages to via special considerations they would never have given to Americans. That gave them access to credit. Those credit cards were used to pay, you guessed it, mortgages when they couldn't make the high payments. Rather than point to fiscally foolish policies they have developed during heavy partisan infighting, where they should have had Americans interest in mind, citizens will be the ones who take the blame. That is what I call 'representation'.

In my estimation it's beginning to look like the job of congress has some serious conflicts of interest. How can they effectively represent citizens while doing nothing of the sort where the business interface exists? Actually doing the exact opposite?

Folks, what I'm about to say should just be taken for what it is hyperbole.

Over the years many of our government elected officials have stated plainly that the Constitution is a living document. That it is out dated and out modded. Until, that it is, they need some one to catch or throw bullets. Then they are all about patriotism and the protection of the Constitution.

They have gutted the Constitution and allowed the courts free reign to legislate from the bench further eroding our God given liberties. I suspect because of the false proposition of a wall of separation of church and state and the enormous effort put forward to secularize society. That way every thing becomes relative. No higher moral authority with set expectations frees up authority to also be relative in it's application of laws, rules, policies, expectations and behaviors. Further opening the door to institutionalized systematic corruption.

They have finally done it... they have broken the system. And they have done it to fill their own pockets. If you didn't see the Fox News special on former speaker Denny Hastert you missed one smoking gun. But there are many many more examples of the same thing. The number of millionaires in congress and the senate is staggering. Most weren't when they entered office. Including.. BHO. Hmm.

The first ammendment is under continous attack and there are examples of people having to actually sign away at least part of their right to free speach, to the point where they can't even talk about it at all for fear of being jailed. It's true.

The second ammendment just this year affirmed to be interpreted as an individuals right to own is again in the sights of our government.

The third is not yet an issue since we haven't fought a war on our soil since 1864. (That's not entirely ture, but Texas was a territory at the time, not a state).

The fourth ammendment speedy trial affordable with represntation, please, you couldn't convince me of that at gun point.

The fifth was slam dunked by the Kelo v New London Supreme court decision where it was determined that YOUR property could be TAKEN and sold to a BUSINESS if it was supposed to bring in more tax revenue.

you beginning to see a pattern here?

Liberal ignorance is astounding

2008-11-14T09:58:00.000-08:00

I've been very interested in the way the left has participated in this campaign and how they respond to thought provoking criticism of their platform and ideas.

Recently several mainstream media outlets virtually confessed to manipulating their coverage of these associated events. I'm not sure why they admitted it but what ever that reason it served to illustrate the facts that were disclosed and the actual look of impropriety we all witnessed many times during the campaign.

It also demonstrably should impact their organizational honor and integrity as the general public see them. As no honorable person or organization should have the smallest residual pride after admitting such an outrageous breach of the public trust. (if that actually ever even existed in the first place).

Most of these so called news outlets have been riding on the coat tails of the great journalists that had established these businesses reputation many years before. They have virtually destroyed what they at one time stood for. And their circulation is strong evidence of that.

I have to admit that the Internet has aided that to some degree, but there is no denying that a liberal "invented" the Internet (one said so himself): Al Gore and that makes it a GOOD thing.

If you can't believe a good liberal who can you trust?

The shift in this country of critical thinking skills has been shocking. I would have thought that those who spent all of that time sitting in class rooms for years would feel they were given short shrift and be upset.

But surprisingly, not so much.

I can understand their desire to be taken care of by the welfare state. Laziness and mental atrophy go hand in hand, but I would expect that no one would be satisfied with being told what to think and would work to change that intellectual dependence on another persons interpretation of their needs.

I guess it all does come down to a real lack of motivational desire to even act to control their own lives. A pitiful statement on the general human condition post primary education.

Some interesting results have risen to the surface as a result. The emotions of these people are very much infantile or child like and are unrestrained in their display of them no matter how humilating or how poorly it makes them appear to any one. Shameless as well as brainless.

This points to the most important of all the concerns of the liberal: Self esteem. Apparently, all of those years of crying about the self esteem of the children of the next generation has really served to remove it completely from the venue of concern resulting in shameless, brainless and not bright enough to know it. A perfect combination for serfs.

Let's let that sit for a while, they won't mind, they're too stupid to know any better any way.

As the marketing for the sale of the POTUS progressed the left anxiously awaited their next talking points to be disseminated down to them from folks they didn't even know, let alone understand.

But when you are looking to Rosie O and Joy B. for your next phrase that pays you definitely have reached the darkest recesses of individual decline.

It would be difficult for me to say they got what they paid for, but what they paid for hasn't actually been disclosed just yet.

Still, it is almost as sure as anything can be that they were taken for the fools I suspect they are.

And in spite of the disappointing race ,from both sides, it is better to have BHO win than to see the pitiful display of the last two elections for POTUS lost by these ignoramuses.The smell of urine would have been over powering.

We will see how things progress, and it doesn't actually appear to be all that pleasant even at this early time.

One thing I can promise you just as sure as I'm sitting here is that we will spend the next 2 to 4 years looking backwards instead of forward as one might expect. The systemic institutionalized corruption of government and business will flourish. Yea, team!

During the campaign BHO's "associations" were not only ignored by the mainstream media they went out of their way to excuse them.

But just released is the BHO administration job application where in the associations of those people who apply for positions are to be closely scrutinized...?

This seems a bit contrary to me, although I'm not going to work for the govermnet any more than I already am as a taxpayer. The left hasn't uttered a peep, to my dismay. Being elected by fools is already paying big dividends.

Some might say they had been paying off since early in the campaign when questions of qualification, fitness and experience were ignored in favor of this great opportunity to help wash the restless souls of long dead Americans of the white guilt 'associated' with the horrific era of commercial slavery.

Disappointingly, liberals feel so guilty (and are so ill educated) that they aren't aware that slavery wasn't a product of the several States. It was a commercial venture. The paradox is that today we still see abuses of humanity by businesses here and abroad and we close our eyes to it while still clinging to the improper belief that 'we are guilty' of condoning slavery as a nation more than 200 years ago. (I am aware it lasted longer than it should have).

The arguments are out there and common sense and honest understanding will not be applied.

That is dishonesty from every possible facet on both sides. We call ourselves 'civilized'? We call ourselves intellectuals? We can't even be honest with ourselves! Yet, we ignore fact in preference of self delusion. That is childish and immature to be sure and could be almost tolerated from individuals, even a large group of them. But when leadership, political and business collude to these ends it becomes a disgrace to humanity itself.

That should be terrifying. We have set ourselves up to be pawns for both. It must be true what they say about ignorance being bliss. And while I'm nobodies smart guy, I find it to be unpalatable.

Things that don't make sense to me make my head cavitate. My thoughts get stifled for a brief moment. Confusion becomes disorienting. (is that redundant?).

Recent news has been released that clinically proved liberalism is in fact a mental disorder.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56494

And if you have been a true devotee of unashamed conservatism and solid science you know that Dr. Michael Savage (Dr.of epidemeology) has written of that also.

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
>creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
>satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
>augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
>rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

Beginning to sound familiar? That is the democratic platform for the last two years!

Any liberal worth his mud would deny all of these outright and in the next breath defend them. And we have watched this happen over and over again during the campaign.

Now we can watch it manifest right before our eyes as BHO policies begin to spring to life, becoming reality, not just symptoms of mental instability or derangement. We are turning into France! If it was anything but that I might be able to come to terms. But pissing my pants or dropping my mud is something I stopped a long time ago. Taking it up as national policy isn't going to sit well with me.

Finally, my most disappointing point of all, to me, is that Americans haven't what ever it takes to bring it to the government. I'm not talking about the redress of grievences in the first ammendment to the constitution already nullified by congress. I'm talking about 'We the People' bringing it to these weasels by recall, at election time and or by personal correspondence.

I actually don't believe Ameircans actually understand what government "is" nor what it's obligaitons are. Or do they understand the power of the virtual Ruby Slippers given us by our founders after we slay the wicked (government) which of the east (at the time the UK).

A. Merriam-Webster defines militia:

One entry found.
militia
Main Entry:
mi·li·tia
Pronunciation:
\mə-ˈli-shə\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Latin, military service, from milit-, miles
Date:
1625
1 a: a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in emergency b: a body of citizens organized for military service
2: the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service

Definition #1 is the most recent re-definition of the term. Definition #2 was the definition back in the day of the revolution, and it's fairly easy to understand that this was the case.
2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the united States:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

From where did the authority to outline a government come? From the unquestioned source of all government power: "We the People.."
At the time of the creation of the Constitution of the united States, or the several States as they are referred to some times in those days, the second amendment and it's mention of a 'well regulated Militia' were the only choice available to them.
Since there was no government in existence, no tax base existed. No funds to field a military were available to supply weapons, uniforms, housing and pay since government has no money.
A militia relied on the people to come together to resolve hostile conflicts. Before the time of fire arms pitch forks, clubs, axes any thing they could use to inflict a debilitating blow to their foe was used and they were called a militia (when organized) at that time, also.
'Well regulated' refers to a command structure. Even though they were a militia you can't have folks running around killing willy nilly. In order to minimize the confusion in the ranks about commands common terms were developed and instituted. Giving the general appearance of a military.
While it may be true that an oath was possibly taken by some or all members of the militia it is not likely that it had anything to do with the Constitution. Since the fighting was on the front end of the historic development of the Constitution and it's ratification, 11 years after the revolutionary war.
Our present day government' insistence that a militia is a military arm is a bogus assertion since we have never since had an active militia for any reason and unlike Switzerland, where every able bodied male member between 18 and 72 is a member of their un-organized military or a militia. And is in possession of a weapon for that purpose.
The reasons for that are not as well understood as the reasons for having a state fielded standing military. But the reasons can be found in the definition above. It's too loose an organization. Too informal. Too much NOT like a military.
At the time of the writing and ratification of the Constitution it is most likely that a standing military wasn't even a consideration (the Federalist Papers don't mention one) since taxes were a sore point with them. Not to mention there was no way to collect them, no "legislation" to define taxation, no department of war and there was no congress, senate or president in 1776 so no authority to tax existed.
Putting all of this together is not all that complicated. All you have to have is an education. (I don't even have that, I'm a drop out.)
Back in those days there was no formal 'public' education system. Lincoln was self educated and he was the 16th president.
Home schooling was the only way for most new worlders to become educated if they didn't reside in a larger community. Most began by reading and understanding the Holy Bible as it was the only book most had. Churches acted more as schools as they helped drive home the words and concepts they were coming to understand at home by reading.
So why all of this 'confusion' surrounding the 'interpretation' of the 2nd amendment?
I'd argue, simply, that it is because we are letting government make that decision, where no decision or debate should exist. The words are like crystal. Clear.
The mandate put before the body of the new government contained in the Constitution was (basically) to protect the God given Rights of the individual, the borders of this new nation and to regulate interstate (and intrastate) commerce.
As the young nation prospered it became clear that commerce was going to be the thing that brought continued success and there fore growth.
Today commerce and the ease with which we conduct the business of commerce is a global religion. It's the Holy Grail of government existence. Without it government would have to rely on it's original source of funding; tariffs.
Free trade has sounded the death nell for ever returning to that original mandate agreed to in the contract (the Constitution) as it was originally intended.
As time has passed government has eroded away the restrictions placed on it by that contract with Americans. And Americans have abetted that effort by abdication to a large degree. But government hasn't been exactly neutral either. As a matter of fact if the truth about how your government works was ever fully disclosed there would be riots in the streets that would make the Watts riots of the 60's look like a picnic.
Government defined as:
bcapitalized : the executive branch of the United States federal government ccapitalized : a small group of persons holding simultaneously the principal political executive offices of a nation or other political unit and being responsible for the direction and supervision of public affairs: (1): such a group in a parliamentary system constituted by the cabinet or by the ministry (2): administration 4b
consists of either duly appointed persons or those elected to the position or office by the power structure... 'We the People.' They are citizens, just like you and me.
Why then would 'government' turn on its own source of authority and power? I know you know this... greed.
Lust for the three things that have since plagued this nation: Power, Influence and Money.
Over the decades the congressional mandate to regulate commerce (business) brought business in close working proximity to those holding the keys to the hen house. Negotiation has been the main tool. In other words, almost from the beginning the contract was being negotiated away. The outlines of the constitution for ethical and moral government were sold out.
Today, when government stands up for citizens it is about to place a new demand on them. A tax or a service a treaty or a compact a restriction on liberty or a limit on behavior.
I'm not asking anyone to believe what I believe. This is all common understanding, you apply it to your understanding as you see fit, if at all.
But my hypothesis is that government has out lived it's usefulness. It has broken it's contract (the Constitution is a type of contract) with 'We the People' with undue malice aforethought. The congressional approval rating is 11% or is close to it. The founders would have walked into the House and hauled each out by the ear and slapped them till they cried like babies they are. Then they would have either impeached them or worse.
The effort required today to counter even the most egregious of government actions takes an extraordinary effort. And we have technology to aide in communication. They refuse to be accountable no matter the consideration. Words come out of their mouths but lies are the result.
I could go on for hours and I could provide examples, but the responsibility to control our government resides in your actions. And becoming informed is your only weapon.
I have a stack of response letters from my congress persons and senators about 14" high. I have probed them on issues from every vector. There is one theme that stands out like the sun: We are not accountable.
I have had every excuse, every misdirection, every political trick to divert my attention away from the issue I maybe interested in better understanding thrown at me. After a few years I realized that this was the status quo. Today it is the exact same. Citizens are held in utter contempt for their belief that they hold the keys to government power. You don't have to be a student of political science to see it, just watch your evening news.
Had our government used discretion and worked within the bounds of it's contractual agreement we may still have a chance of living a life of liberty. Government takes it's direction from business these days because it is where the money really comes from. From money one derives power and influence. A by product of this is the arrogance we see from them every day. B. Hussein Obama demonstrated this point the other day well, when he said that small town Americans were clinging to guns and religion due to the frustration of their economic situation. Which today is a function of the relationship between government and business and the way in which they target Americans. This approaches fascism so closely it should frighten every American.
We have become commodities because we are the ones who buy (generate tax revenue streams). While that might make you think that we are in the drivers seat, government and business have hacked us into small demographic groups for the sole purpose of marginalizing our influence on the political process in general.
Politicians are frequently talking about how the electoral vote process is out dated, that the only way should be to use the popular vote count. A s much as I don't really care for the electoral college the gerrymandering involved in politics today is proof positive that the popular vote is NOT the way to go.
Taken by themselves these things may seem like not such a big deal. (I haven't even begun to scratch the surface though). Collectively they point up a much larger problem. That being for some reason an active effort by our own citizens who hold political office are working to dismantle America as it was constructed.
I can't absolutely say for sure what and why. But when I look at the recent news that the clintons, in public office since their college days, almost, have become multi millionaires by using the backs of 'We the People' to reach the money and then giving us the shiv.
In the mean time we are going through a hell of a crunch on all sides economically. Caused by congress and the influence business has exercised on them... moving money around. Elitist government has over taken honest government. We are in Big trouble.
