Obama Follows the Money in Syria

2013-09-09T12:59:00.000-04:00

BHO does the bidding of the EU and the Saudi Oil Princes Again, by offering to take out Assad and thwart the economic goals of Russia, China and Syria. BHO has offered to take out Assad and risk WWIII by opposing Russian and China’s interests in Syria to benefit The Saudis, Turkey and the EU giving them control of existing and proposed oil and gas pipelines running through Syria, ensuring billions of dollars to whoever controls these pipelines .

The conflict in Syria started like many others during the Arab Spring, much like the movements in Libya and Egypt, al Qaeda has taken control, whatever the cause of the original uprisings. We can debate the original intent of these “uprisings” all day long but the outcome is without doubt one of the most destabilizing and devastating events in history in the Middle East.

Like the uprisings in Libya and Egypt, al-Qaeda or its sub groups have completely taken over the fighting in Syria. These are facts recognized by every major intelligence agency if not by the American MSM.

The net effect has resulted in mass deaths and the ruin of the economies and stability that existed in these countries, Syria is no exception. Syria has been flooded with al qaeda fighters from all over the Middle East in the last decade. The bitter irony here is, these are the very people we have been fighting since 9-11, and that we have now, in a stunning, senseless about face now support and arm the very terrorist’s we have been fighting since 2001 .

Bashar Al Assad is by no means a democratic leader and no one can deny the Assad’s have and do rule the country with a heavy hand. But that is not the point of this article suffice to say that Assad while not a leader we can be proud of, he is undoubtedly a better candidate than the next bunch of al qaeda sponsored terrorists that have done so well (not really) in Egypt and Libya.

This civil war in Syria has been going on for over 2 years at this point, and by some counts the death toll on both sides is somewhere over 100,000. No one to this point has been very concerned with what happens in Syria, well here in America any way. The sudden interest by Obama supposedly over the questionable reports of chemical weapons use, are suddenly so credible that we (American) has to launch an unprovoked attack on another country with no legitimate justification, in a veiled attempt to topple yet another leader, that we may not like very much but can work with, for another al Qaeda group that seeks to wipe us off the face of the earth.

Well when you put it that way it makes perfect sense right, well no it really doesn’t, until you follow the money and look at who really benefits from Assad being removed from power.

Saudi Arabia has offered to underwrite the full cost of an invasion of Syria as reported by John Kerry before congress, this is also confirmed by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan who actually made an offer to the Russians offering to buy $15 Billion in weapons from the Russians if they would give up there interest in the existing and proposed new oil and gas pipelines in Syria and join the efforts sponsored by the Saudis to effect a takeover of Syria President Putin refused the offer.

Russia and China have made incredible investments in the region to assure they have access to and can export oil and gas to the EU markets by passing existing pipelines currently controlled by the Saudis and the EU.

No one with any sense believes they will give these up without a fight. Barack Obama is clearly a man filled with an overblown appreciation for his own worth that seems hell bent on embroiling American in a conflict in which we have no interest and that has frightening implications, leading to a larger conflict with Russia and China.

Muslim Beheads Two Christians in New Jersey Main Stream Media Silent.

Feb 19th 2013

A Muslim man Kills beheads and cuts off the hands of two Christians immigrants in Jersey city last night the reports from the local ABC affiliate ABC7 says that local residents are shocked and have no idea why the men were killed all three are recent immigrants fleeing the revolution still underway in Egypt.

The two men who were killed and beheaded were Coptic Christians , The killer Yusuf Ibrahim, a Muslim man is in custody at this time. The motivation behind the attack appears to be religious no MSM agency has picked up this story as of yet. It appears that the information lockdown by the MSM and the Obama administration when it comes to Muslim Attacks is still in full force. .

Here is a link to the ABC 7 news video.

Colorado Ignores voters Resistance is coming

2013-02-19T13:28:00.000-05:00

Colorado passes socialist gun control measures as Colorado, joins with other noted bastions of liberty such as California and New York in passing restrictive magazine bans and added burdens that are really hidden taxes on law abiding weapons owners without addressing any single issue that has been raised in the wake of the Newtown CT shootings.

Legislators of all socialist stripes have made one of the biggest power grabs against the free citizens of the United States by grabbing for the guns that protect us, the citizens, from an out of control government. Legislators in many states have jumped on the gun control bandwagon following in the footsteps of Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia seeking their place in the sun, by supporting the Socialist goals of both major parties despite the voracious opposition to such laws by liberty minded people in all walks of life and of many political parties.

The Republicans have essentially shot themselves in the foot with this one as they move further and further to the left abandoning the laws of the constitution as they seek those millions of Illegal alien and socialist depended voters, As they pander to the socialist media and mainstream dependency zombies who masquerade as free citizens of the united states while they whore themselves out to the highest bidder the base of the party has evaporated.

The base of what once was the Republican party has fractured even further as Liberty minded people, once Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party and Libertarian’s search for a new party. What party you may ask? That’s the Question there is no party that stands for the constitution for the free citizen who wishes to work live and be left alone.

Many still wait hoping that things will work out for the better, but many more have abandoned all hope in what once was a government for the people by the people and has now become a government regardless of party, bent on the total control and subjugation of the American people.

The time is past where you can change the minds of socialist liberal progressive give me a living control my life government knows what’s best for me people, they are lost to the message and blessings of freedom, action is all we have left , band together and fight every illegal actions proposed by Obama the congress and state legislatures. After all we are the ones whose taxes are paying for all this foolishness.

Find likeminded people, take action in local politics and bombard you r representative with communications let them know 2014 is coming.

WV Senator Joe Manchin sells out his constituents for a cabinet post offered by Barack Obama in exchange for his support on gun control.

I am a member of the West Virginia Citizens Defense League, I was sent this by our president just a few minutes ago. Take a close look at what Sen Manchin outlines as the tactics that the Obama administration will use to get this legislation passed. This is a severe blow to freedom in WV and in the nation as a whole. Please share this as widley as possible thank you.

Keith Morgan

Ladies and gentlemen of the WVCDL and West Virginia. Today, around 3PM I met with Senator Manchin. In any conversation with a person of that level of power, there are two conversations that occur at once. The first is the obvious and direct meaning of what is spoken. The second conversation is the meaning between the lines. In this case, neither is good. West Virginia, in my opinion, you have been sold out.

First, let's talk about the direct conversation. It's very simple. Senator Manchin supports a three-pronged approach that includes universal background checks, including private sales. He supports mental health-care reform. And he supports magazine capacity limits, and possibly other restrictions.

Further, he stated to me directly, that he believes 75% of West Virginians, like him, believe that the only purposes behind gun ownership and the second amendment are hunting and recreational shooting. He told me that defense is not an angle he considers or believes in, and that is specifically in the context of defense of self, and defense from tyranny. Perhaps now you understand why I've been too angry to update you on the results of the meeting. In case you're thinking of stopping here, it gets worse.

Senator Manchin told me what the media will do if Congress (including the US House of Representatives) fails to pass an AWB and/or mag restrictions. "They will one, by one, put up pictures of dead children. They will show the carnage." Considering that tomorrow, President Obama will be exploiting children by dragging them on stage with him while he outlays his plan, this is not a huge leap. And these are the words of a United States senator. We, and I don't mean just West Virginians, I mean Americans, must prepare for this. That is a direct quote. Verbatim. We need every talking head in the conservative media out in front of this. Make it happen. Share this post far and wide.

When it became clear that we were not going to find common ground, and that Senator Manchin intends to support magazine capacity limits and other pointless gun-control laws doomed to failure, I told the senator that we would be there. We would be at every single event. We would be at every fund-raiser. We would be there, and the content of our signs would not be pleasant.

And now we get to the second conversation. The one between the lines. When I said we would be there, he said, "there won't be any events."

This confused me. No politician runs for office without fund-raisers and events. And I have to admit, it wasn't I that grasped the meaning of this. I want to be clear, that the following was not stated. This was deduced by a confidant of mine, and I think she is correct. Manchin was honest. There will be no events. Why would a US Senator not need funds? This is because there will be no campaign. Joe Manchin is too young to retire from a position of such power. What does that mean?

West Virginia, this means that Joe Manchin has sold you out. It means that he has accepted some position, likely promised by Barack Obama, to place his boot in your neck in exchange for power.

Now you know. Now you know why for four hours, I was too angry to update you.

2013-01-15T15:08:00.001-05:00

So I had a thought today , rare I know but stay with me on this , I am not asking my representatives to merely vote no on any proposed legislation affecting our 2^nd amendment rights. I am not merely asking them to respect, support and defend the constitution, something by the way, I shouldn't have to ask any representative to do at any level, as they ALL swore an oath to do this when they entered office.

I am TELLING my representatives, all of them, at the local state and federal levels, that I DEMAND they loudly, voraciously, and without hesitation mercy or consideration defend to their last drop of blood, the Constitution of the United States as written in general and the 2^nd amendment in particular. I expect them to sacrifice their personnel honor and very lives if necessary, as well as the future of their family and any hope for their political career. I demand a total committed defense of our rights, defense of the constitution and to honor of their own oaths, just as I and millions of other have as veterans and law enforcement officers have done as many have made the greatest sacrifice.

We the people must hold them accountable; public service is just that in service to the public, it supposed to be a service a sacrifice not a winning ticket to the lottery. Public service is a sacred honor and should be considered and acted as such by anyone who holds any office. Anyone that does not represent the highest ideals of freedom as written in the constitution does not deserve to be in office. Any representative who does not truly represent their constituents the people agreeing, should then be removed from office as soon as possible through recall of office election, pressure and if all others fail we must avail ourselves of our revolutionary right to remove them by force.

If these our representatives have not made clear unambiguous direct statements devoid of the normal political maneuvering ,If these statements are not clearly stated on their website, face book page, appeared in the news in the paper and on a billboard forty feet high they are just playing politics as usual.

I demand their utmost efforts not just lip service

2013-01-11T15:56:00.000-05:00

Greetings friends It has been some time since I have posted, life moves on for us all. The times are getting worse, despite the rosy predictions of the Obama administration and the slanted unreliable information coming out of the Whitehouse.

The massive government power grab that has been in process for decades by both party’s Republican and Democrat has been accelerated to a frighteningly fast pace in face of the tragic shootings in Sandy Hook CT and Aurora CO and the government’s gleeful attempts to disarm honest law-abiding Americans.

Instead of meaningful conversation about safeguarding our schools by improving mental health easing the process of having dangerous individuals committed for treatment, or improving security at schools just like they have at every City county and government building or even improving the back ground check process for legal purchase of weapons they have gone straight for the emotional impact of banning the oh so scary semiautomatic rifle, otherwise known as the “Assault Rifle”.

They are ignoring any meaningful discussion of the facts purposely to suit their agenda which is to disarm the people, and have all camped out in the white house for a big “How does this make you feel session” Ignoring the fact that the numbers of people killed with a rifle are less than 400 in 20011 and that over 6000 were killed with handguns.

You would think they would be looking at the handguns, but no that doesn’t have the big scary emotional impact as the Scary Black Rifle and never mind they will be coming for the pistols soon enough.

They ignore the fact that the majority of the total numbers of handgun deaths are caused by and in relation to criminal activity, with only a few thousand of these deaths was murder the goal. They also ignore the vast number of other assaults.

Simply put it’s mostly criminals killing each other, with the occasional bystander thrown in, and this will not be affected by attempting to disarm honest law-abiding American’s. Because criminals and nut jobs do not generally care what the law is anyway.

Deaths unfortunately happen, tragic horrible deaths always have and always will they cannot by any means be prevented a 100%. There is no such thing as complete safety in the world that’s an American illusion ask any vet that’s been overseas they will tell you it’s an illusion and that you yourself are your own best source of security, ignore that at your peril.

Free American and free Americans understand that the 2^nd amendment is not just a right but is a duty and an obligation every American is responsible to up hold and defend as we the people are the Militia not the government.

The straws have been piling up on the people, we have been overburdened with taxes in support of a vocal rabble that refuses to support itself we have been inflicted with parasites drawing off wealth and resource’s that we the working minority have sweated and bled for depriving us of the just rewards of our own labors to share it out with those who take advantage of every opportunity to do nothing for themselves. We have been scorned and ridiculed by the press the media and our elected official’s labeled as flyover states, T baggers, Racists, religious fundamentalists, evangelicals, as the president says we have nothing left to cling to but our god and our guns. This ignores that fact that we are many things many groups Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and no real party at all we are all parts, conservative, liberal, religious and not, we are black white brown and natives, many colors races religions but foremost and fundamentally we are AMERICANS. We do not cling to old world culture, the past or what land our forebears or fathers came from either yesterday or two hundred years ago , we are Americans and that’s enough.

There is a simmer taking place right now right here, its in thousands of places on blogs and in papers in living rooms and offices at work and at home, ordinary americans, we are many and we are waking up.

Americans have realized the government has overstepped and crossed the line, and must be stopped from any further invasion of our homes, schools, bodies and churches.

I have never seen so many reacting to government overreach so strongly. These are peaceful people hopeful of the future normally, who have been pushed finally irrevocably too far. We want our rights unencumbered by oppressive regulation, the freedom as intended in the constitution to exercise them to reach each our own limits of personnel success or failure standing on our own feet responsible for our own decisions good or bad without government intervention. Those who seek a handout and support while contributing nothing positive to their own lives or society will have to face the consequences of their own actions.

This country was founded on and has until the modern era been a race of men and women who first and foremost counted on themselves not on the government or even on others to save them. Look to yourself first what can you do to make yourself better your life and circumstance better. Those who would trade freedom for security deserve and indeed will get neither.

We may be little people unimportant to those in power but they forget they derive their power form the consent of the governed, looks like it’s time we took it back.

Signs of Occupy Wall Street from around the county

2011-10-09T15:11:00.003-04:00

I myself, wondered what if any message is coming out of the occupy Wall Street movement that has appeared not only in New York but around the country now. I searched Images of the protesters signs, and have included the sayings, statements and slogans that are variously scrawled painted printed on cardboard and pizza boxes flags and banners and a few nicely printed by unions and other organizations. I did not find any clearly unifying message but there are some common trends. People are hurting economically in a lot of ways; they can’t find jobs and are living with friends or parents.

People are scared they will lose the little they have now and, are mad that the rich corporations and companies have gotten a bailout at our expense, and that nothing has really changed at the banks or on Wall Street. In short people are mad as hell and regardless of the mixed message and views of the protesters, the government has to be crapping its pants at the thought of what the protests will look like when the unemployment runs out, or the market finally crashes.

Please take a look and comment on anything that stand out and by all means add to the list for me please. This is just a sample from a few hours of searching. I haven’t changed anything or pick and choose. Enjoy and comment.

Media Bias For Mitt Romney Is Ignored By Most Americans

2011-10-08T18:26:00.000-04:00

Americans appear leery of Mitt Romney and Rick Perry as reflected by the recent polls that show Herman Cain generally in the lead with Romney and Perry lagging behind, Despite the major push by the media for Romney. The straw polls clearly indicate that Americans are looking for something besides the same career politicians that have performed so poorly. In asking people who they favor in these still early stages of the process virtually every one has responded in some fashion any one but Obama. On follow-up about the candidates specifically these were the results

Mitt Romney: He might be better than Obama but we don’t trust him. Romney has name recognition but little else, it seems most feel that he is just another slick rich guy in a suit that has improved his pitch, with little if change to the candidate he was in 2008. Romney’s positions on many issues seem more a reflection of electability, than strong convictions on his part. People lack confidence in his will conviction or ability to actually make needed changes and see just another big government Republican who is too liberal for most conservatives and moderates and apparently not liberal enough for the liberals.

Most of the people I interviewed just didn’t trust Romney. When asked about the fact he is Mormon, generally people didn’t acknowledge it was a factor in the decisions except with fundamentalist Christians.

Rick Perry: Oh my god not another president from Texas! Perry again is another big name republican that the media have been touting since even before his announcement to run . While Perry says many of the things that conservatives want to hear, some of his actions contradict his declaration of conservatism such as the HPV vaccine and the in state tuition for the children of illegal’s. Many want Perry to be what he says he is, conservative, fiscally responsible and small government. Many would like to give him the credit for the excellent Economic condition of Texas but just are not sure at this point. And, have trust issues with Perry but not necessarily to the level that they do with Romney. Perry does not seem as attractive with moderates and social liberals, but you can’t please everyone. He may still be a contender but only time will tell.

Michel Bachman: Started off with a bang early on but has been unable to make a coherent statement on any issue of policy or intent. Basically running on the, I’m not Obama platform. This combined with her vague confusing statements and such plumbs as her “subservience” to her husband have made what initially seemed a promising candidate a lost cause. While it’s too soon to count anyone out, because hey, it’s politics folk’s, but most people seem to have written Bachman off as this point.

Ron Paul: Paul is extremely popular with some Tea party members and economic conservatives if he can move a bit to the center on certain key issues its possible he could be a viable contender for the nomination. Paul has been on the fringes of politics for years despite being a US congressman from Texas since the 70’s. Paul has always seemed to be the perennial outsider, Paul supporters are a small but dedicated group that supports him with the fervor of the true faith and to question Paul’s views is to invite a diatribe upon the virtues of Ron Paul. While many favor his domestic and economic policy’s, his controversial and isolationist foreign policy place him at a disadvantage with many voters due to his controversial and unpopular views on Israel, Iran, Osama Bin Laden and the possible impeachment of president Obama for the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki..

Herman Cain: Has emerged as a major contender for the republican nomination suprising Republican insiders and the MSM. Cain A virtual unknown just a few months ago has catapulted into the forefront of the race in recent weeks. Cain a successful black business man from humble beginnings, has become the candidate of choice in recent weeks for conservatives, Tea party members and many moderates. Cain’s plainspoken matter of fact approach to his campaign and policy’s appear to have struck a cord with many Americans. Cain’s 999 economic plan and his clearly explained position on the issues is a refreshing change from candidates who refuse to take a position on any issue.

New Goverment Emblem "The Condom"

2011-10-07T21:10:00.000-04:00

The Government should change its emblem to that of a condom because it more clearly reflects the government’s political stance.

A condom stands up to inflation,

halts production,

destroys the next generation,

protects a bunch of pricks,

and gives you a sense of security

while you’re actually being screwed.

Anti Wall Street Protests What Is the Real Message

2011-10-06T23:09:00.002-04:00

There is so much anger in general across the country today, and by virtually every segment of the population against Washington in general, and the President and Congress in particular. One has to wonder that anyone would deliberately fan the flames of what could easily become the next revolution. The only certainty is that as the economic situation becomes worse, the protests will escalate and make it harder for our fearful politicians to make any reductions in any entitlement program that affect any group.

The paralysis and platitudes of both party’s will remain ineffective, and all the while the economy crumbles under the massive weight of its own inertia, buried in entitlements that we simply cannot afford and burdened by taxes and regulation preventing the very economic recovery, without which all of our darkest fears may very well come true.

The protests in New York which seem more like an excuse to party than to change the world, sound childish and filled with vague threats. There ranks filled with ultra liberal factions, unions and others, of the same socialist bent who all seem to take there talking points straight from the pages of the Coming Insurrection. The “spontaneous” support from the unions and big money liberal organizations and the bizarre coverage by the MSM do not give us a coherent picture of the protests themselves while every politician seems bent on twisting the event to there own purposes.

Protesters say they were inspired by the “Arab Spring” seemly ignoring the implications of the string of violent protests, muslim uprisings and violent revolution they so admire. The apparent disconnect between the message of this protest and its effect make the whole thing seem more a political stunt inspired by behind the scenes liberal movers and shakers than any sort of true uprising by the mostly spoiled liberal whiners currently seen on television.

The protest has at least initially been instigated purely for political purposes over the last few months. It also seems clear that the instigators either don’t understand the risks of such an undertaking and the volatile unpredictable nature of such a mob or they don’t care about the continued decline of the United States or maybe that’s really the point.

No New Taxes during a recession says Obama , BUT

2011-10-06T19:50:00.001-04:00

Read my lips no new taxes, famous words that turned out, not to be true for Bush senior and even more not true now. The candidates don’t seem to get it, the president doesn’t get it and most certainly the house and senate don’t seem to understand people have reached the breaking point where those who work in this country are being penalized for the very fact that they are working. The air in Washington if filled with the smell of fear the elections are coming and politicians of all stripes and party are scrambling to say anything do anything to ensure their survival in the coming election

President Obama drags out the same tired rhetoric he has used for the previous three years and that he uses each time he wants to pass the next stimulus the next package the next bill.

The percentage of Americans who believe the rhetoric grows less and less with his approval rating lower than forty six percent in traditionally democratic states and even lower in swing and republican states the future of his presidency is gravely in doubt.

But it’s not just the Presidents tax and spend approach that’s the problem it’s the same old tax and spend philosophy of the party’s despite the promises and the rhetoric. Taxes keep going up but primarily to the working and middle class while the entitlements never end for the unemployed and the welfare recipients. At this point with rising food costs, inflation, and increasing medical costs due to Obama care.

No one doubts that there a re a few people that need help but one side of the equation believes that help means, doing it all and requiring zero effort of the recipient and providing such a high standard of living for doing nothing, is an affront to every hard working American.

The government is supposed to support a level playing field not control the outcome. The simple fact is that not every one is willing to do what it takes to enjoy any level of success. The immature and irresponsible refuse to do anything that requires effort or work..

Not everyone is or will be successful, the government cannot fairly administer aid the best the very best the government can do is stay the hell out of the way.

President Obama ,Americans Are Worse Off

2011-10-06T09:30:00.003-04:00

President Obama agrees that Americans are indeed worse off than they were four years ago but no surprise there is a but .
The Presidents failure to take any responsibility for his administration its actions or its consequences only serve to highlight his failure as a leader both domestically and abroad. It’s clear that our president has little if any leadership ability or any understanding of what it means to be a leader its not all fun and games and ovations and parades
In his interview during an exchange between Obama and George Stephanopoulos of ABC News. President Obama said “Well, I don't think they're better off than they were four years ago.”
He then went on with a litany of excuses as to why none of this is his fault and again how the whole thing happened before he was elected. I don’t know about you but (pun intended) I for one am tired of the leader of the free world being a petulant whiner.
We have all heard it before and frankly do not care about his excuses as to why none of his policies have had any of the effects that he and his administration promised. Speaking of promises, what did not happen, to all the ones he made on the campaign trail, but were not talking about that are we, nor is anyone in the MSM.

I don’t think that Mr. Obama understands that really we all want him to succeed here. The Presidents failure at this point has had the most disastrous affect seen in this country in three generations and it is not a game, a score or a touchdown were talking about here, but what may possibly be the future and possibly the very survival of this country.
The president has gotten his way on just about every issue he has brought to the table the massive second leg of the tarp the Obama care bill, and he has single handedly led the biggest increase in the federal government in history.
Mr. Obama comes across as arrogant, and offended, that most Americans disapprove of his performance and his administration. Mr. Obama was given unprecedented leeway upon his election as the first black president of the United States, and the very platform he ran on was hope and change unfortunately he has only delivered on the change and that for the worse and we seem to but all but out of hope at this point.

Mr. Obama has stated that he does not believe in American exceptionalism and I would have to say that I completely agree in his case. The elitist attitude that he and his administration have displayed are the worst aspects of the liberal class with none of the ability. One can say that he is at least fair in his disdain, not only with the common man and his political opponents, but with the very people who voted him into office. His recent remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus set off a storm of criticism from the black community, the very people from which he received the majority of his support during his campaign.

Its clear that in the presidents opinion that despite the three years of his leadership his political appointments his initiatives his ridiculous spending to prop up insolvent company’s, corrupt banks, and failing industry and despite the virtual takeover of the economy by his appointees that none of this is his fault..

I would say to the president what was told to me when I was a young buck Sergeant in the army during what is euphemistically called a learning opportunity. “You can delegate authority bit you cannot delegate responsibility” Simply put Mr. President as Harry Truman said the buck stops here, with you.

Obama Orders to kill americans Legal

2011-10-03T23:22:00.001-04:00

The recent killing of Anwar al-Awlaki has justifiably unleashed a growing storm of controversy over the killing of two U.S citizens . The two were unquestionably terrorists and one could assume classified as enemy combatants and legitimate targets in a time of war. The strike is problematic for several reasons one of the most glaring is the apparent secrecy of the quote unquote air tight legal justification purported from un named officials high in the Obama administration. If this extremely concerning new legal precedent is so above board, why the hesitation to release the information? The president and the federal government themselves are bound by the same laws as the rest of us and if this was indeed a good shooting or air strike In this case, why the resistance to submit there policy for public, legal and judicial review?

This administration has made much of its transparency and yet at every turn the President and his administration seem to conduct all business behind closed doors. These acts no matter the unquestioned legitamicy of the targets in this, case open the door to a whole array of unsettling precedence such as under what circumstances can the president of the united states decide that you a U.S should be killed. Is this a legal decision that the president can make, and if so what is to stop him form making such a decision within the United States.

President Obama’s actions to date including the barrage of executive orders issue by his white house seem to point more toward someone who does not feel that the rules apply to him and that he can with the waive of a wand or in this case an executive order by pass rules laws and the constitution at need.

While I can’t help but be glad that such an enemy has been eradicated I also cant help but be very disturbed in the manner of its accomplishment. The president after all is not judge jury and high executioner or is he.

American Apathy on the road to serfdom

2011-10-01T11:05:00.002-04:00

It is the nature of government to seek to expand itself, it is like the nature of all things to grow and become more. It’s like the tree in your yard that you plant for shade that over time almost unnoticed takes over the whole yard. A little judicial pruning could have over the years kept it in check. For whatever reason you failed to do the pruning. Maybe you were too busy or had other commitments maybe you were just too lazy or didn’t understand that things have to be maintained. For whatever reason you now have a mighty task ahead. What would have once been simple and painless is now a major undertaking requiring a crew of people and the power company. Because the out of control tree has limbs not only in your yard but the neighbors as well. You neighbor likes the shade and refuses to let you into there yard to trim the mighty limbs and if you simply cut them you will crush there fence.

Such has become our government, extending its reach into every faucet of our lives and step by step over the last seventy years or so it has become a parasite living off the life blood of the American people. Who is to blame? In the end it is “We the people” who are ultimately responsible. Its is we who have been asleep at the switch and have let the government take more and more control over our lives.

Where did the idea that the government knows best come from? Well from the government of course. There are now several generations of people that have swallowed the fiction that the government knows what its doing and that its looking out for you.

Many of people have given the government total control. Now they don’t see it that way, but there its is. If you rely completely on the government for your food shelter and support that is control. Even worse people now see these things as their right, and they deserve to subsist on the backs of others at no cost to themselves and they are ok with that .

Who pays for this? Well, all of us who work and pay taxes, but the simple fact is that combined none of us make enough money to pay for all this. And that’s why we have the highest debt ever in the history of the western world right now. These things, welfare social security food stamps WIC and all the endless federally subsidized housing school loans and agriculture subsidies. All the fingers in the all the pies have driven us to this point.

In the end it has to end by our own volition if we are wise or simply over time by its own devastating weight. You cry foul, the government told me they would take care of me and that I had the right to Social security, Student loans, Welfare and unemployment. I mean come one “really”. Step back for just one second and look at this objectively.

How does a program that pays you NOT to work benefit anyone? It doesn’t unfortunately there is a whole class of people that are content to sit on there butt and do nothing till the end of time, or the end of the pay check depending. Why does the government do this? Not because they care I assure you. They do it to keep you docile and inline and they know they can count on you to support them again and again for ludicrous programs that do little but deplete already scarce or non existent resources. They do this to maintain political power and personnel wealth. Its time for America to put down the crack pipe and take responsibility for themselves. I know crazy idea but

if we do not stand on our own feet and take responsibility for our own lives successes and failures we are doomed to a path of ultimate repression and desperate poverty. The constitution is not a guarantee of success but a guarantee of freedom

We are free to reach our own level of success based on our skills ability desires and luck. You are not owed, or guaranteed a dam thing. Your life sucks because you have made it so, and because you did not overcome whatever it was, your race, religion or personnel circumstance. Not every one will succeed, and many will fail and that is as it should be. In life as in all things, there are winners and losers achievers and slacker’s victors and casualties.

I fear we are now so far past the point of recovery in the economy, and of our ethics and standards in our lives that the end will be very bad. While I don’t know what combination of factors will serve to escalate the already dire circumstances of the economy and the very peace of the world. I do know that the groundwork has already been laid for the inevitable cataclysm that awaits us, the inevitable defaults of the world economy the break up of the EU the rise of militant Islam, and the Machiavellian machination of the Chinese and the Russians.

These are dangerous times and the desperate actions of desperate governments and peoples around the world are most likely to result in a global cataclysm unlike any since the fall of the Roman Empire or the invasion of the Mongols.

Entering A "NEW" Recession

2011-09-30T12:42:00.005-04:00

CNN Money just posted a new story about the economy, brace yourselves.

Forecast says double-dip recession is imminent

Way to step out on a limb there CNN, this is not new. This is a situation that has been obvious to the average American since 2008. In truth we have never actually gotten out of the first recession. The whole fiction that there has been any positive growth in the economy or in job creation is the direct result of careful, manipulated financial data from the FED the BLS and the Department of Labor. Virtually every bit of information released by the white house and reported in the major media is so divorced from the true situation as to be total fantasy.

Wages are down, unemployment is up and there have been so many small businesses close their doors and so many homes foreclosed on , just in my local area that I don’t understand how people can continue to deceive themselves about the true gravity of our situation. It’s even worse that president Obama is trying to con everyone into another job’s bill that is pointless and will never create jobs or improve the economy and increases a debt that is already so astronomically high that we cannot possibly pay it off. The bill is simply another attempt at the appearance of action for political purposes. All we seem to be able to do now is appear to take constructive action we lack the will and integrity to take actual constructive action.

Where are the leaders that will look the issue in the eye, and make the hard choices do the right things not just the popular ones? We passed the precipice on this road to disaster some time ago and there is now, no way to prevent a financial and economic disaster unlike any the world has ever seen. The effects of this will shake the very foundations of societies around the world and what emerges from it will be very different from what we know now.

The level of misinformation and ignorance by most people is staggering. The apathy by many Americans on the consequences of our spendthrift liberal social policy’s is bewildering considering that they will be the ones to howl the loudest when they end and when in reality they contribute the least and consume the most .

Our government is today happily going down the bad road that has already been tried by Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Mao. Yes I know how that sounds but the policy’s that we currently have and many we are either enacting now such as Obama care, the patriot act, the TARP and others are taken directly from Communist Socialist Totalitarian dictatorships. Where is the basic distrust of big government that has always been a defining trait of Americans?

Senseless Policies

2011-09-29T12:14:00.005-04:00

Today we see the continuation of senseless policies and actions that subvert the freedom, Independence and the lives of the American people. Obama’s third tarp is an exact duplication of stimulus that has been attempted previously by both him and the Bush administration. The only thing that’s changed is it is less than the previous ones. The TARP has served only to grossly increase an already unsustainable public debt by rewarding the very government’s, company’s and financial institutions that played so great a part in the collapse. This idea that we reward the very systems that exercabated this issue is ludicrous and defies even the laxest standard of logic or common sense. The unregulated spending to prop up banks insurance company’s investment companies and failing industry are really just symptoms of a the greater illness which is the idea that separating actions from consequences is ever a good idea.

The simple fact of the matter is that the market has crashed the banks have failed and industry in this country is for all intents and purposes dead. The current price of the stock market has no real basis in reality and continues to be the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. The infusion of borrowed money has served only to benefit the bad actors that purposely caused the very situation that they were saved from. The end result, those who were selected to be saved have more than recouped their losses from the very crash they precipitated. The average American and the average investor have paid the price. Now for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren they will be faced with an insurmountable level of debt that there is zero possibility that it can ever be paid off.

Politicians today are the very example of selfish, corrupt, power-hungry incompetents that we were warned to avoid by the founding fathers. Over fifty percent of Americans have abdicated all responsibility for their own lives and given the local state and federal government complete control and power over their lives.

Political correctness is used as a club to suppress dissent from any who do not subscribe to the theories of social justice. This by racists using the very benefits of freedom of speech action and press they protest when used by their opponents are used to undermine the very fabric of American society.

Theories of inclusiveness and multiculturalism do in fact foster, prejudice, racism and hatred, emphasizing differences in color custom and culture, and is by its very nature divisive and directly opposed to the declaration that all men are created equal.

America’s strength has always been we are ONE people despite our differences. Celebrate diversity is directly opposed to a united anything Celebrate America is what we should be doing. We are all simply Americans; we do not need more hyphenated Americans. We welcome all who come here or live here with an honest intent and are willing to leave the past behind them with the understanding that we choose to be Americans first, before, race, color, tribe or heritage.

Equality and freedom are about treating everyone the same, not about special treatment for a few for whatever reason. All men have the freedom to achieve what they can, each based on their own limitations, ability, desire and circumstance. Freedom is not a guarantee of success, but the opportunity to live your life without interference.

12 Days to Collapse Of the Auto Induetry Failure in the Global Economy

2011-03-22T16:15:00.002-04:00

The Japanese earthquake and Tsunami on Friday March 11 2011 2:46 Pm local time devastated the eastern coastal areas of a 250 mile swath of the country, as well as having a major impact on the rest of the country. This caused power outages, travel stoppages and massive disruption of normal business in addition to the thousands of dead and injured all over the country.
But this is not about the loss of life and the devastating effect to the people of Japan, though they have our prayers. This is about the lay off and shut down of effected industry’s in the US and around the world A mere 12 days since the events and many companies are without parts to run their assembly lines, All the car makers in America and Europe, Sony, Hitachi, even the highly anticipated Apple I pad 2 has been effected and is in short supply.
Think about this, while a significant event, this really only impacted one country, and yet due to the nature of just in time inventory, if it’s not just in time you’re in trouble.

A single point failure is defined as: Element or part of a system for which no backup (redundancy) exists and the failure of which will disable the entire system.

The global economy has not served to lessen our risks of failure, in reality each part is so very dependent on the other , “we don’t even know” how all the interdependencies affect one another, and we can’t even calculate the possible damage or the effect of one country’s infrastructure or economy being removed , even for such a short time.

Libyan Airstrikes and the Western Oil grab in the name of "What"

2011-03-22T15:11:00.002-04:00

The ongoing Libyan airstrikes only serve to show that American intervention can only be expected in cases that impact our own, or the national interest of our allies, in this case France and the U.K. While I don’t have a problem with that in concept, I do mind the rhetoric, fundamentally we don’t really care about you or your country only its resources’ and access to them. Let’s not be hypocritical here if there were no Oil there would be no air strikes.

Currently Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Jordan and Yemen have ongoing protests and at least the possibility of overthrows or at least major changes to the existing governments.

I have seen no MSM (main stream media) coverage to date of the extreme instability in world politics or the effects (Nuclear) if the many oppressive governments we currently support Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Qatar, are overthrown. Or where we, (US) are going to get oil and what the other major players, Russia, China, and EU are going to do to get it (anything).

With the rapid rise in worldwide inflation, the plundering of the middle class around the world and the frustration of people everywhere fueled by world events, disasters, and the highest food prices in 30 years we may very well be on the edge of another world war.

Before and After Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant pictures

Fukushima Daiichi power plant, before the 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami.

After

Digital Globes Before and after satellite images

" On March 14, 2011 between 11:00 and 11:04 AM local time (02:00 and 02:04 GMT), DigitalGlobe’s constellation imaged

the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant twice--approximately 1 minute before (see page 5) and approximately 3

minutes after (see slides 6,7 & 8) an explosion at the No. 3 reactor building. This is the second major explosion seen at the

facility, following the explosion at the No. 1 reactor building on March 12, 2011 (see page 4).

Substantial damage could be seen to the reactor building, including the upper structure being largely destroyed with the

building’s roof and side panels blown off. In addition, an extensive smoke and dust plume could be seen drifting east

approximately 2 kilometers from the damaged reactor building."

Sen Bernie Sanders Tells it like it is

2010-12-09T14:30:00.003-05:00

Sen. Sanders speech tells it like it is. That our government is bought and paid for and that we the very people that are supposed to be represented are last in line. This is one of my favorite speeches and I haven’t see this on the mainstream news.
Sanders lets them have it

No Compromise On Obama Compromise

2010-12-09T14:22:00.001-05:00

No we will not continue to funnel money, to the rich. they had the bail out, they had there tax cuts . now shut the hell up.

The idiotic lie that trickledown economics benefits us all is old and tired. The top 2 percent of the income bracket have 23% of total income. How much more money do we need to give these people to get them to start the Magic businesses that will save us all . Bull crap. Obama can keep his compromise bill and the rich can stick it. Ok Republicans, go ahead don’t give the middle class the tax cut, oh and don’t renew unemployment, ( even though both these things would benefit the economy, because they need this money to pay bills, buy milk they cant save it ) when the people who cant find a job because there aren’t any come for you, because guess what there’s no hope either, lets see what you tell them when they beat you to death with our own tired rhetoric and excuses. lets not forget your more of the same jackasses that sent all the jobs overseas in the first place .

War Against the Middle Class

2010-12-06T10:44:00.001-05:00

Bernie Sanders impassioned speech on the floor of the house, speaks the truth to a deaf audience both in congress and in the media, I have seen no coverage of this in the national media. Reguardless of your politics watch this, his facts are correct . To bad neither party will change anything and the vast majority are dazzled by the distractions thrown up by the Dems and the Rep both.

What Free Market

2010-11-01T14:43:00.001-04:00

Here is an excerpt from a really great article from http://www.frumforum.com/the-middle-class-hits-a-dead-end

It highlights I think all of our concerns about the economy and the truly unfair TARP and the policy's that got us here, check it out.

Excerpt:
One of the great undercurrents of contemporary politics is the growing sense of economic frustration or even despair among a broad swath of the American public.

But then, when a hedge fund or banking group risks faltering, the mantra from the same talking heads that ridiculed the economic difficulties of other workers suddenly changes. No longer can the free market have winners and (sometimes massive) losers. Now, it’s a CRISIS. Not giving bailed-out money
The point here is not to dispute the value or even the necessity of the various bail-outs that took place in 2008: the point is that many Americans, who lack PhDs in economics and may not have a great interest in the details of high finance, notice a surprising difference in elite attitude when the financial fortunes of multi-millionaires and billionaires are at stake than when the middle class suffers

Impossible Change

2010-10-25T21:25:00.002-04:00

There is a flavor in the air, a feeling, that we may be entering a time of change, cultures beliefs ideology's and religions seem opposed and positions have become polarized in, whatever genre you wish too look at. There seem to be few great challenges that engage our society's at a truly gut level. We may have our pet causes and some few may obsess over them but there is no space race, no great society no coming together in the face of adversity. Hope seems to be in short supply, people fill their lives with inconsequential things, maybe it's always been that way, its hard to tell. My own faith in the wisdom of our civilization is limited. I believe we think to much of what we have done, our advances have come at such cost to people and too the world. We use things up thoughtlessly without consideration of the consequences. That's a bad habit whatever your views, it lacks a common sense. I you know that things need to change why don't you? Will you tell others, yes I saw there were problems but I ignored them. I don't think those people they show on television, you know the neighbors just down the street from the serial killer, they always say oh he seemed so normal, no he didn't, he seemed like an odd ball and that strange smell , all the time coming from the house, but they never say that, do they.No they say," I hadn't a clue" , why you ask because they don't want to be told well why didn't you say something, do, something. Its easier to just let it slide, we my friends are the generation of letting it slide.

End of Our Golden Age

2010-10-23T15:29:00.001-04:00

It has been some time since my last post, I thought I would take the time to say a few things. In the time that's passed the recession has ended they say , but I see no sign of it here, and from the news and reports I have read I don't see it elsewhere either, I believe this is, but the calm before the storm and that the truly hard times lay ahead.

I cant have these conversations with most people, they don't know and they do not care that our society economy and perhaps the very fabric of our modern civilization are about to come undone.

Here in America in the last few years anyone who has bothered to look can tell that the majority of the news supports big industry and big government , how could it be other wise as there owned and operated by the very companies and mega cooperation's they are supposed to be reporting on.

The model that our economy is based on is broken, and there seems to be no way to fix it given the current political and economic situation. More, we lack the will for it to be fixed . The government stepped in and saved not the American people but the company's. Spending Trillions of dollars not to better the lives of the average American but to line the pockets of business and the rich.

Where, I ask are the billions we gave the banks in the bailouts, still in the banks and reinvested in the market very little money has been loaned to anyone. The banks have again been turned into giant casinos, benefiting only the house and its investors.

The myth of the American dream of the working class has been shattered, proven wrong and impossible to reach in this day and age, our savings and investments in the market that always goes up gone or reduced to a pittance of its former worth.

The dollar worth less and less over time, the real prices we pay go up and up but the government doesn't count these costs into its information because its too volatile and it alters the numbers. Well of course it does, in reality our incomes have steadily decreased since the 1970's and our cost have gone up and up. Do your own research its true.

There are so many uncertainties in the world today, so many interrelated factors that we only vaguely understand.

Each day offers a new crisis, as the media and politicians divert, obscure and mislead. no I don't think there is a plan, I just think its human nature and today most bend the way the wind blows , thinking that this to will pass and all will be well.

Good luck people, and remember the past always repeats itself , so prepare we have seen the end of the golden age .
