National Defense Authorization Act - More Than Just Monies For The Military

2011-11-28T18:20:00.000-08:00

National Defense Authorization Act:US military can imprison civilians w/o charges
Submitted by SemperFi on Mon, 11/28/2011 - 12:17
in Ron Paul 2012

Either Monday or Tuesday the Senate will vote on a bill that allows the US military to imprison civilians with no formal charges and hold them with no trial.

The ACLU reports even US citizens wouldn't be immune as the legislation aims to declare national territory part of the "battlefield" in the War on Terror.

Termed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and drafted behind closed doors by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) the NDAA would:

1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3) Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

Wake Up America

2011-11-27T19:01:00.000-08:00

Please take time to read these two paragraphs from the above reference articles posted by the National Inflation Association:

While in Paterson, Obama pledged Federal Government funding to residents who were devastated by the hurricane. The White House has estimated that the U.S. government's cost for Hurricane Irene relief will be around $1.5 billion, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) only has $800 million in funds left. FEMA will soon be asking Congress for billions of dollars that our government doesn't have and the Federal Reserve will be forced to print. By printing the FEMA funds to be provided to people in Paterson, the food stamps, unemployment checks, welfare checks, and other government entitlements that Paterson residents depend on to survive, will all lose their purchasing power, making residents more dependent on government than ever. This is Obama's strategy to get reelected, promise people more government handouts that instead of helping them, cause the U.S. dollar to lose its purchasing power and make the people as dependent on government as possible.

NIA believes the main reason Obama went to Paterson was to see exactly how residents responded to mandatory evacuations and empty store shelves. He knows that Paterson is a microcosm of what the whole entire U.S. will soon look like during hyperinflation. That is why the Federal Government was so eager to run martial law tests and trials in Paterson. They know that the city is practically on the verge already of having rioting, looting, and civil unrest, before hyperinflation arrives. By providing Paterson with more federal funds, we are sure a secret deal will be worked out that will allow the Federal Government to push through their plans for a martial law trial in Paterson without any resistance from local government officials.

THIS MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL AMERICANS

2011-11-21T23:08:00.000-08:00

Do You Really Know What Happen on September 11, 2001?

2011-11-20T11:41:00.000-08:00

I believe the American People deserve more answers to September 11, 2001. Our government owes the American people more than the 911 Commission Report.

"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."

Today is Veteran's Day
I just wanted to say,
Thank You!
Thank you for everything!

Because of your duty,
Because of your commitment,
Because of your sacrifices,
I remain free.

My prayer is that every time
Our young pass a cemetery,
Every time they salute a flag,
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance,
They will remember, you.

You, our Veterans
You, the Men and Women
Who gave up so much
So we could have what God intended for all,

Our freedom

God bless the Veterans and their families.

Celebrate Reformation Day October 31

2011-10-29T08:16:00.000-07:00

Celebrate Reformation Day!

Did you know that October 31 is one of the most significant dates in church history? No, I’m not talking about Halloween—I’m talking about Reformation Day! You probably won’t see neighborhood kids going door-to-door dressed like Martin Luther or Ulrich Zwingli on Monday night, but these men and their fellow reformers made a huge and lasting impact on the way that evangelical Christians understand and approach Scripture.

The Protestant Reformation was shaped by many people over many years, but came into focus when a monk named Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg church in 1517.

Bobby Jindal Is A Real Leader

2011-10-26T15:17:00.000-07:00

This week's NATIONAL REVIEW has an excellent article on Louisiana's governor Bobby Jindal and his performance record. I am not sure if Bobby could be considered a serious Presidential candidate for 2012, but he definitely should get the recognition he deserves. Please check out current article by Jim Geraghty of National Review.

*******************************
OCTOBER 24, 2011 4:00 A.M.
The Storm-Calmer
From the Oct. 31, 2011, issue of NR.

Baton Rouge, La. — The Louisiana Democratic party has effectively conceded this year’s gubernatorial race. This does not mean merely that the party could not find a big-name challenger — though they couldn’t — or that they could not even find a token state legislator to be the sacrificial lamb, though they could not do that, either. Technically, four candidates ran as Democrats in the state’s nonpartisan “jungle primary”; the best-known among them was a Haynesville, La., middle-school teacher. No, what really stands out is that the Democratic State Central Committee declined to endorse any of them.

Such is Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s record that almost no one in the Bayou State wants to challenge it. Somehow, his achievements have triggered a complete implosion of Democratic gubernatorial ambitions in a state that has had four Republican governors in 125 years, and that’s including Buddy Roemer, who was elected as a Democrat but switched parties while in office.

In The Winter Of My Years

2011-10-25T12:27:00.000-07:00

I am in the winter of my years
Where part of me moves slower
Where time seems to speed up
As I just seem to get older.

Some mornings I fight back fears
As I realize the difficulties I face
The choices of whether to take the right or left road
While holding back tears and retaining some grace.

As the day wears on, I gain momentum
But it doesn't last very long
I keep my composure
All the while trying to sing a little song.

I am in the winter of my years
Where it is hard to move with ease
My hearing is slipping; my sight is less calculating
Never mind though, I find many things of which to cheer.

Some evenings I just sit and read
I reflect upon the days gone by
Trying to find things to laugh at
And not things that make me cry.

With the bad comes so much good
Images of my family, friends, things that "I might have done."
And some that "I should of, could of, and would of"
If all those concerned would have let me have my fun.

Back when I was young at heart
I wore daring colors, flowers in my hair and lace
I accepted rides from cute guys
Who I never would have let get to first base.

But now that I am here, in the winter of my years
I vow not to worry, to fret, or get uptight
I have way too much to do
Before the final winter becomes night.

I over spent myself last night
This morning the pain was great
I tried to move some boxes
I tried to move a crate.

Things got a little crazy yesterday
I even had on my schedule a date
The more he talked, the more we planned
The possibilities looked really great.

He said he was in the winter, the winter of his years
He didn't look a day older than me, however could he hear?
I watched him as he moved about how he favored his gait
I figured if he didn't speed up that we were going to be late.

We talked about our kids, our Xs and those who have died
We shared our fears, our fathoms and laughed until we cried
I am sure we exaggerate a bit or maybe even lied
But we are in the winter, the winter of our pride.

We compared this and that; we forgot, we remember it not
Yes, we are in the winter, the very winter of our years
How wonderful it is to have a friend who is similar in thought
He says he doesn't care, but he seems to care a lot!

It is important now I have someone during the winter of my years
Not as important what comes and goes what changes or what remains
God knows I don't have much time for many more escapades
More important I can share it all as I leave and my winter years fade.

You're Gone

2011-10-11T09:37:00.000-07:00

It was only yesterday that you looked up and smiled.
It was only yesterday that you said, “Hello Baby”, in your Big Bopper voice, when I returned home from work.

It was only yesterday that we had coffee and discussed world events. But, then again, yesterday is relevant as you would have said. You have been gone now over a year.

It was only yesterday the two of us walked down to the beach. You stopped though, to catch your breath, because of the chemo treatments.

It was only yesterday we packed and hurried off to the airport but we were late; it was raining and we missed our flight that night. But, you didn’t complain. You said it would be all right. You reassured me we would make it to our son’s home. And it was true. They booked us on the next flight.

It was just yesterday, that you lay in bed, the morphine taking over your body. Because of the narcolepsy you already had, your body needed to sleep more and more. You were just not active; you were tired; you were not your self.

It was only yesterday it seems; I remember it so well. I called our son and said please come home. Your dad is not feeling well.

It was on a Friday, September 3, I remember it so well. You couldn’t eat, you couldn’t drink, and your breathing wasn’t doing very well. You just tossed, turned and slept. You had been restless, agitated, and, I believe, you knew. I so remember…

It isn’t yesterday anymore, today is now and it is so real. You’re gone, my husband, my love, but I will remember you still.

A REAL LEMON

2011-08-30T08:31:00.000-07:00

I just read in National Review magazine the following: "The late paleoconservative Sam Francis coined the expression "anarcho-tyranny" to describe the state of society in which, as he put it, "we refuse to control real criminals (that's the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that's the tyranny)."

Why the quote? National Review shared the stupidity of the "nanny state". Big Brother is so concerned our children are breaking heavy laws that the authorities in Bethesda, Md not only shut down a Lemonade stand operated by kids but they went after the parents with a $500 fine (waved only after the public made a protest). But from the bad comes some good. In reaction to this attack of the lemonade stand, we have:

Wave Energy

2011-06-19T09:47:00.001-07:00

I read an article in the Smithsonian Magazine, which I love, that gave me hope for a cleaner and more efficient energy source. That source is wave energy. When you think about the ocean, its waves coming in and going out, over and over, it seems so practical and you wonder way it wasn't done long ago. Engineer van Jouanne says "patents have been around since 1799." That's a long time. Annette van Jouanne claims that the ocean's boundless energy could furnish up to 6.5 percent of U.S. electricity.

Obama Health Care Bill

2011-03-22T18:16:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you but life is becoming more strenuous each day. The explosion of information, especially due to the Internet, gives us too many choices of knowledge (if true) in which to stay abreast. I like to stay informed but, like you, I have only so many hours in a day. Just recently I was reading about how bad the economy is going to tip, the devalue of our dollar, how gas, food, clothing will sky rocket, unrest in general will take place in our country, possible riots, on and on and on. If nothing else, I am worn out from what I have been reading.

Some suggest we need to look into investing in gold and silver to help during the rough periods. I have been informed that I need to store extra gasoline, more water, and have an emergency bag ready to go if I need to leave the immediate area. Today, as a topper I read that in Obama's Health Care Bill that a new Form 1099 provision was included.

I am familiar with the 1099 form and its use but what would the connection be with the Health Care Bill and other out side sources?

To quote a recent article I read, "Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148, signed into law by President Obama this spring) turns 1099 forms into reporting forms not only for independent contractor’s income – what they have long been used for – but also to show sales, gains and losses on purchases and sales of goods as part of a trade or business." It looks like that could be precious metals - gold and silver.

Take a look at the article and see for yourself. And, most of us just laughed when Nancy Pelosi said, "But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, ..." We all should have been outraged.

Bilderberg Group

2011-03-22T13:53:00.000-07:00

Meeting since 1954, the Bilderberg Group consists of a highly secretive international think tank and some say they gather to decide world policy. The group is made up of the wealthiest and most power people on the earth. Others say they are seeking a one-world government. You decide for yourselves.

This year's meeting is scheduled for Switzerland, June 9-12. See what else has been happening with the Bilderbergs.

Sure. Is that why he made all those appointments without asking Congress.
