When Republican Dennis Hastert served as Speaker of the House during Ole GW
s Presidency, he purchased 200 acres of land in Illinois and then placed an
earmark in a ordinary spending resolution funding a wide parkway to be built
across it’s northern side, connecting 2 other major roads, making the value
of the land skyrocket. He was able to resell it just a few months later to
developer’s, making a 20 million dollar profit in the process. Extortion is
another little legal game they all play. Senate Majority Leader, Democrat
Harry Reid sponsored a bill in the Senate that would have placed a 1% tax on
all stock transactions. He had no intention of pushing for this bill, but
was able to use the “threat of it” to extort millions in campaign
contributions for his buddies and himself, as well as getting jobs on
Wall street for several former staff members. Daryl Issa, R-Calif., the
wealthiest man in the Senate, has had all kinds of wonderful roads built,
widened and improved that happen to go right by his various strip shopping
centers, apartment complexes, restaurants, and other enterprises. He has
made 10′s of millions while in office. Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer, both
democrats have both made millions since entering “public service”, and they
tried to exempt the US Territory of Guam from minimum wage laws, because
they are both heavily invested in the Chinese clothing manufacturing going
on there, as was former Senate majority whip, R. Tom Delay with them. These
people have every interest in keeping the system as it is now. Reform and
simplify the tax code and they have no special tax loop holes, subsidies,
or exemptions to hand out, or blackmail with. No leverage to extort campaign
funds. Tax payer funded elections would leave them with nothing, no pathway
to huge wealth. This is the reason the tax code is a hodge-podge mess now.
These are just a few tiny examples of what the people are up against. It
reminds me that Mark Twain said, that the only permanent criminal class in
the US was the United States Congress.

A buddy of mine has spent the past 4 days performing as an extra on the set
of one of those “Reality TV” shows. It’s one of those about people getting
their cars repossessed because they are behind on their payments. Much
shouting, crying, fist fighting, and shooting of guns in the air, with
missed shot’s at tow truck driver’s. Apparently, he is either “Pissed off
former car owner” A or B. If anyone finds this mindless trashiness
entertaining or believes it is “real”, without a script, actors, and extra’s
they might also enjoy President Obama’s State of the Union address last
week, or the Republican debates, or what passes for debate on the House or
Senate floor on C-SPAN, and might also find Professional Wrestling wholly
real’ and engaging. If you are still a Democrat or a Republican you are
either for Wrestler A, or Wrestler B.

KERMIT

Rick Santorum is against everything that United States stands for.

Senator RICK SANTORUM (“It Takes a Family”) August 2005:

“They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone, that there is no such society that I’m aware of where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”

Take the five minutes to read this. Maybe he is wrong, but what if he’s right? Look around. There is so much evidence to support this hypothesis.

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that
have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I
have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not
believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus..

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it
feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two. We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real
oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000)
over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “we the people,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders Apparently not. We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy… Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth
preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) – the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten…And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has
never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along
philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again. And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the
ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the “savior” was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage
through great oratory. Conservative “losers” read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs,
and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And
people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown
shirts” would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did -
regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled
economic crisis bloomed at hand – the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he
seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by
department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course.

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by
indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media – did you know that? And he did this all in
the name of justice and …. . … change And the people surely got what they
voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It’s all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lordsin England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities.
And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U.S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All
with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me. I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

Ever wonder why the government doesn’t want Ron Paul as president?

Time and time again they say Ron Paul and his foreign policy puts the USA in harms way.

They say Ron Paul doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but the reality is that it’s the other way around. Not only is it the other way around, but the government and military industrial complex doesn’t want you to know about any of this. Certain corporations make a lot of money off this, the media whores make money off this by helping spread the lies, and then of course there is the elite upper echelon known as the Federal Reserve and the World Bank and all their friends in the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations. aka… Scum of the Earth

Even though I have witnessed most events through the media growing up, I could not put the whole history of the United States and Iran together. It started before my time and like most, it didn’t hold that much interest to me. The events that were going on were in some foreign land I would more than likely never see and things played out slowly over the years. Of course too the job of the media is to make sure no one connects the dots.

Out of all the candidates running Ron Paul is the weirdo because he is the only one telling the truth about it all.

Instead of me trying to explain it, please watch the video below.

So if you have watched the video, then quite possibly you caught the fact that Iran used to be a democracy. That was before 1953 when Great Britain and The US decided to make it a dictatorship. The democracy that was in place wasn’t going to work for the elite and their bank accounts.

So when Ron Paul says that Iran isn’t really a threat to the US, he pretty much speaks the truth. If we would come clean and do the right thing, Iran wouldn’t be a threat. Of course if we did things that way the military industrial complex and company wouldn’t have such fat bank accounts.

So is Ron Paul and his ideas on foreign relations far fetched? I think not. Not when you look at the facts anyway. Just like Ron Paul, I’m not pro Iran, I’m pro American constitution. Like Ron Paul I’m also pro Freedom. If you listen to Ron Paul he talks about when he was drafted and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Iran isn’t sitting in Cuba with 30 nuclear missiles. They haven’t even got a developed nuclear missile. The United States has the most powerful military there is. What is the sense of invading Iraq? IF you also listen to what Ron Paul says, he states that we’re broke. All these wars, that have achieved very little, have made the United States more vulnerable, not secure. But when Ron Paul states these facts, the establishment looks for every way possible to discredit Ron Paul.

VOTE FOR FREEDOM, VOTE FOR RON PAUL. RESTORE AMERICA.

Ron Paul 2012!

The whole establishment is in a state of shock and worry as Ron Paul, the real candidate, takes the lead.

The media has tried to ignore him, the other candidates have tried to dismiss him as a plausible GOP candidate, but Ron Paul with the help of the real Americans who can see through the lies has risen to the top. The governor of Iowa, the honorary loser, Terry Branstad has gone as far to say “look at the number two candidate and ignore Ron Paul.”

What these people are starting to realize is that they can’t keep Ron Paul silent, he has a very big supporter group that isn’t giving up.

The latest has been this smear on Ron Paul being a racist, as they dig up these old news letters, that weren’t read by, or approved by Ron Paul when they came out.

Even old Wolf of CNN can’t truthfully say he has ever heard Ron Paul speak in the way these news letters written. That probably killed ol’ Wolf to admit that on TV. It’s interesting too how CNN keeps bringing this up time and time again. One can only wonder why CNN hasn’t done this to Obama.

Okay it was pretty obvious that ol Wolf whats-his-face has asked this very same question in the above interview clip, but now here goes Gloria Borger asking the very same questions, also for CNN again. They say Ron Paul walked off from the interview angry, but the clip they showed is highly edited. What they also don’t tell you is that the interview was conducted in this hallway, after Ron Paul just got done speaking, and it was about 20 minuets long.

In their Ron Paul smear, what CNN also probably doesn’t want you to know is that Gloria Borger is married to Lance Morgan. Lance Morgan is a experienced media trainer, he also regularly prepares clients for Congressional testimony and interviews with major national print and broadcast media. Lance Morgan is the chief communications and crisis strategist of POWELL TATE. Powell Tate is a D.C. firm that represents every part of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that Ron Paul wants to reduce!

Another Ron Paul racist speaks out!!! Oh wait…. what color is this guy??? Maybe his brain is fried from wearing that funky hat!????

Vote for Freedom, Vote for Ron Paul! Restore the United States of America!

Big Brother Smart meter

The Invasion of SmArT MeTeRs across America ….:O

Are Smart Meters a little too smart?

The electric company’s tell you smart meters are efficient, but it seems smart meters can tell a whole lot more than just how much electricity you are using.

Not only can smart meters be an invasion of your privacy, but the microwave signals these Smart Meters use to snitch on you are also a possible danger to your health.

Tell Them to take their SMART METERS and stick it!!!!

(where the light isn’t shinin’ and there’s nothing to smart meter!!)

So not only is it a invasion of your privacy, but most of these companies know that you have no idea what smart meters are, or how it works, and so on. They come to your home and trick you into “voluntarily ” having them install it and at that point your smart meter is there to stay. As the video explains, you can refuse to have a smart meter put on your house, that is if you are smart enough to do so. Smart meters seem to go hand in hand with the smart grid that these power companies are constructing. Personally I’m all for keeping the stupid meter and stupid gird, as at least that can’t be hacked into by some computer genius. Seems that the computer genius never works for the power company. The only place stupid is left is at customer service! :O

So the government, (  your first clue that smart meters aren’t really meant to help you…) will tell you how you can save power with these smart meters. You can look at your smart meters reading and see just how much that stupid air conditioner is using. There are cases where a smart meter has been installed and a customers bill has gone up significantly, for no apparent reason, with smart meter usage. So I guess the question of the day is just how smart are smart meters???

Below are a series of videos that explain just how microwaves affect your health.

Barrie Trower is a microwave scientist / expert. The things he has to say should wake you up to the microwave world we now live in. In short because of the tremendous amount of money this brings to corporations and governments, microwaves are here to stay regardless of how they affect your health.

This guy is not totally nuts, or against technology. What he says about microwaves and your health at the end, is that what we need is a safe standard where people and the eco system are not put at risk.

I encourage you to spend the 2 1/2 hours and educate yourself on the risks of microwaves and what it can do to your health. It will be time well spent.

Check out what He says at 4:35 about microwaves and yours and your childs health!
