Free Speech Politics--Right-Wing Conservatism

Is Health Freedom an Endangered Species?

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 02:42:13 +0000

We are at a crossroads. The Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 in the US is at risk, as is consumer access to dietary supplements in Canada, but you will
not find flyers in any health food store about it, nor are dietary supplement
companies sounding any alarm. How is this possible when more than 40% of
Americans use at least some form of dietary supplement to improve their lives?
For me, I suffer from a genetic need for these vitamins at higher doses than
what you can buy off the shelf at Wal-Mart or Walgreen’s. As one of the original
activists who helped pass DSHEA, I count my blessings every day for the
opportunity that I enjoy. But now this access to vitamins is being threatened by
the FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter (TCC).

Food and Drug Attorney Suzanne Harris once said that no governmental initiative or legislation today can truly be understood without viewing it against a backdrop of interrelated
international trade agreements and intergovernmental pacts such as NAFTA and the
Security & Prosperity Partnership of North America (“SPP”).

The FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter “TCC” with Canada and Mexico is just such a measure. This is intended by the ruling
elite to be a “sleeper issue” that never gets onto the grass roots radar
screen. We are all supposed to view the “TCC” as a wonderful united
intergovernmental front against what they call “health fraud” – and believe it
was created “for our own good” to protect us from “snake oil.”

MUCH ADO ABOUT “MUCH”

Born of an “unholy alliance” between NAFTA and the SPP, the Trilateral Cooperation Charter is an effort by the FDA to create a framework for one harmonized set of food and drug
regulations for Canada, the US and Mexico as if the planned North American Union
Dictatorship were already in place.

So far under the TCC, the trinational regulators have created a group to “protect consumers” called the “MUCH” Group where “MUCH” is an acronym meaning “Mexico,
US, Canada, Health Fraud” task force. According to the Charter, the purpose of
“MUCH” is “to maintain a formal framework for cooperation in combating health
fraud and to identify appropriate lines of communication to ensure a continual
exchange of information on compliance and enforcement activities among the three
countries.”

The website identifies Mexico as the “lead country” on the MUCH working group, and its real objective can be seen in the hundreds of “warning letters” that already
have been issued about “fraud.” In 2005, for instance, the FDA sent 29 warning
letters to businesses making health-related claims that their dried fruit, fruit
juice, and juice concentrate products could help treat or prevent cancer, heart
disease, arthritis, and other diseases.

Under the auspices of the “MUCH” group, the TCC is already fingering dietary supplement products in the US, Canada and Mexico for attack by all 3 countries’ respective
FDA and FTC using the pharmaceutical industry’s definition of “Health
Fraud”—that is, any non drug product that cuts into pharmaceutical sales. The
FDA website also documents that the FTC has brought 40 law enforcement actions,
largely as part of “Operation Big Fat Lie,” aimed at stopping the marketing of
allegedly bogus weight-loss products and services. Resulting from these cases,
the FDA reports that U.S. courts have ordered over $188 million in consumer
redress judgments resulting from these law enforcement actions, but with no
public records accessible for review, we cannot see precisely what products have
been targeted. It would appear as if this shadowy trinational body is attacking
natural products across the board with impunity.

While it is true that all legal efforts to address alleged “Health Fraud” are taking place under the separate laws of the 3 countries, there are efforts to harmonize lab
testing and other regulatory procedures and to collaborate on enforcement
efforts. While they claim consumer protection is their goal, could it be that
the real reason for all this harmonization is that the FDA is morphing into
something far more dangerous—a North American FDA with no checks and balances,
and more dangerously, no transparency or accountability to anybody?

A GLIMPSE INTO OUR FUTURE WITHOUT DSHEA

In a North American Union, DSHEA would not exist because Canada, the US and Mexico would be harmonized to “NAU” law, similar to how all EU member nations are currently
being forced to harmonize their dietary supplement laws to the grossly
restrictive European
Directives

As a person who lives along the US- Canadian border, I know first hand that literally thousands of dietary supplement products are no longer available
in Canada. This is due to Canada regulating these products as “drugs” whereas in
the US, they are considered “foods” under DSHEA. In Canada, all products must
have an “NPN” or “Natural Product Number” that requires the manufacturer to pay
a licensing fee to the government. Issuance of the NPN can be blocked via a host
of arbitrary means pertaining to alleged “safety” concerns. To get this number,
the manufacturer is required to submit to site licensing which requires
adherence to full HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) regulation.
Additionally, all product labels must be in both English and French, and no
health claims of any kind are allowed.

For example, I spoke with a Canadian manufacturer who was manufacturing liquid ionic magnesium, but was forced out of business because she could not afford the cost
of an NPN number and still be competitive. Instead of protecting consumers,
under Canadian law, consumers have less choice and less freedom.

To make matters worse, the Canadian government imposes an additional tax on these manufacturers who then must pass on the cost to the overly taxed Canadian
consumer who pay GST, PST and now the new HST (Harmonized Sales Tax). Americans
and Canadians alike need to watch Kevin Miller’s new documentary

“A Question of Sovereignty” . One by one, Canadian manufacturers are becoming extinct and the US will be next if people fail to heed IAHF’s warning.

The message is stark yet clear: if the Canadian people fail to hold the line against the Pharma drivenBill
C-36 and if this bill is successfully rammed through the Canadian
Parliament, then the FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter (TCC) with Canada and
Mexico will wreak its genocidal effects south of the border via
harmonization.

It should also be noted that the recently passed so called “Healthcare” legislation in the US will give pharmaceutical companies more control due to greater integration
into government policy making. We are becoming just like Canada which has
already been burdened with socialized “health care” that is economically
unsustainable. All the more reason why we must work hard to nullify and repeal
the passage of “healthcare”
in the US and to oppose all other sovereignty threatening legislation including
Amnesty for
illegal aliens and Cap
and Trade.

Which leads us back to that proverbial fork in the road facing our health freedom. The biggest threat facing DSHEA is the FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter and
any
sovereignty threatening legislation (such as the above) that
threatens to force us into the NAU which would activate it. I have
sounded the clarion call, rang the proverbial warning bell, raised the red flag
to gather those same forces that helped support DSHEA, and very few have
answered my call, so its up to each of us to take action and to urge still more
to!

After some deep soul searching, I must now ask: what is the current state of our health freedom movement? I have come to realize that what was once our greatest
strength has now become our largest liability. DSHEA galvanized an American
public to call their congressional representatives, gave birth to various health
freedom organizations. We were all vigilant about any attempts by the
pharmaceutical industries to infiltrate our movement with “agents of influence”
or “plants”. Sixteen years later, this is what you find: where once you had
boldness, inertia and paralysis by fear dominate; unity of purpose has morphed
into fragmentation and fractionalization, vigilance has turned into
complacency. See Figure 1.

If you are still not convinced you would be disenfranchised if you lived under a North American Union, and would like to see a prelude of the chaos of what would
happen with one such union, take a look at our cousins across the pond, Greece
in the EU.

With government overspending, our national debt is now above $15 Trillion…and rising as more “social justice” programs like “Amnesty for Illegals” and “Cap and
Trade” are threatening our very existence as a nation. Just like Healthcare
“Reform”, these laws have a very good chance of passing when deals are cut
behind closed doors and legislation will be passed during the wee hours of the
night without our elected representatives even bothering to read the thousands
of pages of law before they cast their vote.

Americans have fought and died for our sovereignty, our freedom to choose. And that boils down to our God given right to choose for ourselves how we heal ourselves. For
you, perhaps it is taking prescription drugs. For me, it’s a more holistic
approach, of which at the core are dietary supplements like the humble vitamin.
Take away my choice, and I am reduced to a slave. That is what the recently
passed Health Care Reform Act or “Obamacare” means to the rest of us Americans.
Slavery. “There can be no tyrants if there are no slaves”. 1 I know what I have chosen. Do you?

PASSING THE TORCH OF HEALTH FREEDOM TO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

This and similar experiences cause us to believe that the Health Freedom movement that sprang up in the early 90s to pass DSHEA in ’94 is in disarray today due to
pharma and globalist infiltration. Aside from a select few people and groups,
the health freedom movement cannot be consistently counted on any more,
but there is still hope.

Health freedom along with ALL freedom can still be saved if enough people roll up their sleeves and assist IAHF in reaching out to the Tea Party via sites
like this in an
effort to get the threat of the FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter more into
the public eye so we can neutralize and block it as a threat to the Dietary
Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.

There is a small window of opportunity to save our sovereignty. The current mood of the voters is anti-establishment, anti-incumbency. Just take a look at the wave of
primary challengers to incumbents for the November 2010 election. The new
movement with the same esprit de corps and vitality that I experienced in
the passage of DSHEA sixteen years ago is now with the Tea Party
Movement.

Cutting across demographics and transcending party ideologies, the Tea Party Movement is the cleansing fire that we need to clear the brushwood of compromised
politicians, many of whom sit too comfortably on the largesse of Big Pharma
donations, and vote their way. In races where they could be found, I believe
these Tea Party candidates will have the best chance to replace the members of
the Congressional Oversight & Investigations Sub Committee members and call
on congressional oversight over the FDA. See Figure 2 for a chart with key
“health freedom” races and potential candidates that we need to reach out and
educate about the need for congressional oversight on the FDA’s Trilateral
Cooperation Charter.

As a veteran in the front lines of this war for health freedom, a glimmer of hope flickers in my heart. But let this be a warning to the Tea Party movement that
just like any movement, vigilance is required in order to minimize being
infiltrated by the enemy of freedom: complacency and corruption.

Please help me make the FDA’s Trilateral Cooperation Charter a campaign issue by pitching the issue to Tea Party candidates. I am appealing to all of my loyal readers to
help me reach as many of these candidates given the remaining August primaries
and the November 2010 Congressional elections. We can network the issue via
sites like this: http://www.teapartypatriots.org/Default.aspx
and by reaching out to people challenging entrenched incumbents- especially
those receiving a lot of Pharma PAC donations. We must drive them from office
and replace them with people who believe in protecting our right to choose and
save our health freedom.

Figure 1: Analysis of Health Freedom Movement

Figure 2: Potential Congressional November 2010 Challengers

Please forward this alert widely! We don’t have a lot of time between now and the upcoming Congressional primaries. We need to work hard to try to boost this issue more into the public
consciousness! If you have any success educating a candidate for office such
that they use this issue as part of their platform, please let us know. Please
let me know of any postings you make about this on any website so we can
coordinate our efforts and foster a sense of esprit de
corps.

The Saga Of The Head-In-The-Sand Liberal Goes On

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 21:47:49 +0000

Is there any hope or does an intervention by some intelligent, in-the-know people in order? I for one would like an in-person debate, but not with someone with this mindset. Here are some additional Facebook comments, (with pictures and last names of people deleted to protect their privacy). If you want to see my previous post on what transpired on Facebook, go to: http://www.freespeechpolitics.us/general/trying-to-wake-up-a-liberal-is-a-job-and-a-half

· Chip: Is our President a racist??? 1- His long standing relationship with Rev Wright –“Martin Luther King was wrong to advocate for non-violence for blacks “born in the oven of America.” 2- His instant condemnation of the Cambridge police who simply followed procedure re: a man without ID breaking in to his own home. 3- Spinning “Border Security” into racism in Arizona. 4-A “mandate to dismiss black on white crime in Justice Dept.! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/06/ex-official-accuses-justice-department-racial-bias-black-panther-case/

Ex-Official Accuses Justice Department of Racial Bias in Black Panther Case

www.foxnews.com

In emotional and personal testimony, an ex-Justice official who quit over the handling of a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party accused his former employer of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.

Chip This is the guy who, in Black Panther militant garb and brandishing a weapon to intimidate “poll monitors” in Philadelphia…was released by Holder. But it’s the violence-prone Tea Party crazies Pelosi is worried about???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APZ3-Lcbwmc

“Calling someone a racist is okay but you have to have evidence. It appears that evidence and logic are two things that the Tea Parties don’t seem to value. The movement is based on irrational anger and resentment toward the first black authority figure our nation has ever been forced to address. That is the source of much of the anger.

“… See MoreComplaints about socialist policies are a bit hypocritical. The United States is a capitalist society, but not completely. We were socialists when the government intervened to save banks. We use socialism when Americans ask for unemployment benefits, social security payments or to be saved from foreclosure. We are also using forms of socialism when Americans want to call the fire or police departments. The Tea Partiers seem to love capitalism when it benefits them, but embrace socialist concepts when they are demanding that the government bail them out of their economic hardships.

“Like other silly movements of the past, the Tea Party Express will eventually die. At the same time, they have a very real ability to impact the midterm elections. Republicans will gain congressional seats and then find themselves to be just as ineffective as their predecessors. That is the pattern of Washington.”
– Boyce Watkins

Helene

There are none so blind as those who will not see. I’ll believe a video of someone saying he wants to kill all white people inlcuding babies before I believe a written story not showing both sides of the issue. Amazing what people don’t want to see.

Patricia

YES he is a racist….that is extremely obvious. Too bad he hates his family and himself so much that he actually thinks he understands and relates to civil rights issues stemming….BO was raised by white grandparents while his father and mother abandoned him…and he went to the most expensive school in the US in Hawaii….he is a fraud! Whew…..got that off my chest!

Jim

White people calling Obama racist.
Snort.
“…before I believe a written story not showing both sides of the issue.” Helene, if ignorance were cornflakes, you’d be General Mills.

Patricia

Jim….you must live in a vacuum……keep snorting all you want….the truth is still the truth

Jim

I know you support the Constitution, Patricia. Tell me, is it the part of the Constitution that accepts slavery? Is it the part of the Constitution that declares blacks three fifths the status of a white person? Were your ancestors kidnapped in Africa and sold as chattel on the open market? Were you kept you from voting until the Voting Rights act… See More of 1965, have you ever been forced to sit at the back of the bus? Been denied service at a restaurant? Denied housing because of your whiteness?
What racist power like that have blacks EVER held over you?
I snort because you make it so damn easy.

Chip, I’m reposting this ranting by a man who clearly contributed to voter intimidation but is deemed okay by Jim.
Jim, please be reminded that *you* are a hated “White Cracker,” as supported by Eric Holder. This new black panther guy joins the positively defined ranks of other … See Moreradical & tax cheats residing in the White House &/or enjoying support of our Pres. This is not a black & white issue – the fault here is clear. As you love to bring up Bush, though, how would you feel if he was the one giving this guy a pass? Be honest!
(Btw, your party will be required to accept all the irrational moves of this Pres as he sets precedent for all future Presidents- so, no bellyaching in future when illegal is right & legal is not, right is wrong, freedom is avail to only some, and so it goes.)

Helene

Jim must be on Obama’s twist the truth board of czars. He obviously knows what’s going on, but cannot fathom the truth being real.

Jim

Blacks are human like anybody else. We all have our issues.
The DOJ dropped charges because the evidence was weak. There’s no crime evidenced in the video; it’s protected freedom of speech, as unfriendly as it is.
But to focus on an angry black man while simply ignoring systematic racism against blacks over centuries that helped create this guy is patently absurd. And not a little racist itself. Stop being so scared of cultures other than your own.

Jim

Helene , I would never claim to know the truth of which you in your arrogant ignorance are ever so certain.

Karen

Helene & Patricia, keep focused & keep on keeping on. Jim is MSNBC & Huffington Post’s biggest fan. For over a yr of reconnecting & talking to actual TEA member protests, Jim, you still feel more informed than they are but you’re obviously not. While you writes, “The Tea Partiers seem to love capitalism when it benefits them, but embrace socialist… See More concepts when they are demanding that the government bail them out of their economic hardships.” Well, allow me to correct you beyond the Capitolism notation, which is not a dirty word. TEA members *don’t* want socialism or bailouts to even be necessary & hate that the out of control spending gov’t that you hated under Bush is suddenly welcomed of this Pres. The entire bailout process & need can be blamed on leadership wrong doings going way back, Jim, yet you find this acceptible. Instead you belittle your hard working fellow citizens for merely wanting to keep a larger amt. of pay & DO want to take care of the needy amongst us. Don’t you???

Karen

Opps, back on subject … Okay, let’s cheer on this Black Panther Guy for his hate rants & death wishes while he stood at the entrance of the voting booths w/billyclubs. Yeah, poor guy, he’s suffered so under the promises of freedom, which allow him to say it freely here, Jim; he wants you dead.

Chip

The point of this original post was not in and of itself to pass
judgment. The point of this post was to put up factual information that
you will not see on the CBS Evening News, and allow the readers to judge
for themselves. With all due respect Jim, what we were doing in 1965, or whether or not we were ever forced to sit in the back of the bus has
absolutely zero, zip, nada to do with whether or not this Justice… See More
Department is doing its job TODAY. I submit that this evidence would
suggest they are not. Keep the faith ladies, truth ultimately prevails
over “the ends justify the means” crowd. ♥

Jim

That wasn’t me with that quote. I was quoting someone else who sees whites as afraid of Obama because he’s black, which sounds good to me.
I even thought of eliminating that passage because I know Tea Partiers don’t believe that, or wouldn’t if they weren’t so old they benefit from things like Social Security and Medicare.
For me the classic rant… See More of the year was from a Tea Partier at one of those town hall meetings earlier in the year who screamed, “Keep the government’s hands off my Medicare!”
OK, for the sake of argument, let’s say that guy wants me dead. With Afghanistan, the economy, the oil spill ands the millions of other things going on, you guys are bent out of shape over some black guy that doesn’t like whites.
Blacks are Boogymen to you, something you could keep in the recesses of your minds…until, that is, Obama came along. Why else would you and Fox be focusing on this?
Help! The scary black men are coming to rape our women and kill our children!
Sorry, I have better things to do with my time.

Karen

But Jim, you claim that Helene is displaying arrogant ignorance when she defines you as twisting the truth while knowing better but then you proceed to do it yourself.
You write the following AGAIN: “… The [TEA] movement is based on irrational anger and resentment toward the first black authority figure our nation has ever been forced to address… See More. That is the source of much of the anger. Stop being so scared of cultures other than your own.”

Well, Jim, who the heck are you talking to? Don’t see how the color of our Pres’s skin guarantees his success or failure, makes for good policy or bad policy. Also, don’t see why you’ve decided that concerns over the use of intimidation at the polls is merely “fear of a culture.” Only you’ve been doing this; writing these convenient untruth assertions about skin color over & over & over. Arrogant & ignorant comes to mind. Oh, & only you’ve declared any fears lately – of the TEA no less – who declares a “passive revolution” & not a call for your death.

Jim

I guess you didn’t see a post of Helene’s on some other of Chip’s posts when she said said she turned an 80-year-old “hippie” into a white supremacist. Chip admonished her and she furiously backtracked but the original statement still stood out in all its ugliness. She also called elected public servants, Democrats, all of them, “communists” and “evil” without even the slightest trace of irony.
I have no respect for abject stupidity in the service of pure ignorant hatred. You can have her.

Helene

There you go Jim – twisting words around. I just told the hippy why she shouldn’t be on the left and then she went–without help from her Jewish friend here to listen to white supremists–and didn’t realize it again. So I had to steer her away from that. Chip didn’t admonish me. He was defending me. I have that whole conversation on my blog at… See More: http://www.freespeechpolitics.us/ When did I call elected public servants Democrats, all of them “Communists” and “evil” etc. I do think the Democratic Party has been hijacked by communists and that communists are an evil way of thinking. Twisting words around — every single one of them says a lot about someone’s character.

Helene

By the way Jim, have you ever heard of defamation of character? Do you have Homeowners Insurance? You will need it soon.

Note: The saga is continuing after I posted the above with the following:

Patricia

Jim Lent…you sound like a dope……and by the way, did you happen to read any of Obama’s books. His father had servents/slaves in kenya…hmmm I wonder if they were white. I support the Constitution and the abolishment of slavery which is/was deplorable…..and I believe you still live in a vacuum or another time/space….I really don’t know you and you obviously do not know me…..but you are barking up the wrong tree…get your facts straight and then we can have a serious discussion….

Jim

Patricia, I would be interested to see if you could point out to me the passages that explain Obama’s father had servants, which, of course, is not the same thing as having slaves. I’m not saying he didn’t, and it wouldn’t matter if he did, he did become a senior economist in the Kenyan Ministry of Finance before his life spiraled out of control … See Moreand he died at age 46. I would just like you to see your prodigious scholarship at work.

I’m trying to stay away from you poisonous people but the pedagogue in me just won’t jet me, fruitless as it is.

It’s difficult dealing with people consumed by hate who seem to have gotten their education primarily from sticking their heads up their asses – or Glenn Beck’s – and commenting on the view.

And Chip, for the thousandth time, your complete inability to form a coherent argument and instead substitute mindless smears is revealed for all to see. But, as I said elsewhere, the only people reading our eruptions now are your diehard fans with similar propensities so your intellectual inadequacies remain unseen by civilized people.

But you are going to have to come up with someone other than Alinsky to use as your smear. I’ve never read him and don’t really know that much about him.

Thank you for your time. You guys just stay in your caves, I need to get out in the light.

o 5,000,000 Jobs lost by 2050

o $1,042 Cost to households annually

o $125 billion Over economic loss each year

o 75 percent Seniors that would forfeit 2.3 percent of their income

o 5.8 percent Income forfeited for those making less than $10,000/yr

o 0.9 percent Amount of cash income those making $150,000/yr would be taxed

o $1,174/yr Increase in household bills for Northeast residents

o $987/yr Annual increase households in the South would face

o 14 percent Increase in petroleum prices to consumers

o 12 percent Electricity and utility increase families will bare

o $39 billion Reduction in GDP by 2015

o $384 billion 2050 total loss in GDP

o 119,000 Job losses to the petroleum industry

o 81,400 Natural gas and electric utility job losses

o 49,7000 Chemical product industry job losses

Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform had one thing to say, “Are the Democrats and Obama serious about this being their national energy strategy?” Good question!

Trying to Wake Up A Liberal Is A Job and a Half

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 03:38:06 +0000

I’ve been using Facebook to alert people to what’s going on in the world of Politics. I admit, what I know is a bit more than most people realize is happening and what too many people think is “preposterous”, but I will continue to do this in the hopes of saving this country and the freedom it beholds.

The following is a thread on Facebook. I responded to a friend’s link and this opened up a whole thread of facts on my part and insults on the part of the person. Now I do not blame this person for saying all this. Even though what I’ve stated is true and reflects how I feel in all respects, it is still a lesson in the thinking of most good, decent citizens in the United States today. You kind of have to feel sorry for some people who cannot see the truth or understand concepts. Perhaps is a form of denial so deep and embedded within people that it makes them not see. My friends say they are in a bubble and do not see what we’re seeing. I do not think these are bad people. They just are not seeing things as clearly as I am or those I am in contact with all the time.

Here is the Facebook thread:

“Chip…: via Stand With Arizona (and Against Illegal Immigration): Go Tony! With (lame) protests against the Diamondbacks at his stadium today, demanding to move the All-Star game out of AZ, La Russa spoke out: “I’m actually supportive of what AZ’s doing. If the National government doesn’t fix your problem, you’ve got to take care of it yourself. It’s just the American Way.” Go Cardin…als! (Tony also deftly handles a loaded question by the snarky reporter trying to get him to bash the Tea party–who was there to support the Diamondbacks and 1070.)See More
Tony LaRussa Stands with Arizona
www.youtube.com
http://www.StandwithArizona.com/ Go Tony! First Lakers coach Phil Jackson came out in support of Arizona last month, and now future Hall of Fame Cardinal Manager Tony LaRussa, one of the only managers ever to win a World Series in both leagues, comes out in strong support of Arizona’s immigration law…

Thursday at 6:43am • Chip … Yes, well we all have “Obamanomics” now, thank you very much, so we’ll all be playing from the same “impoverished” field before too long…who’s $ will you spend then I wonder???

Thursday at 6:53am .Helene …: I welcome all immigrants, but when they come here and start killing innocent ranchers and shooting law enforcement people in the stomach and stand on hilltops with the purpose of killing our law enforcement, I draw the line. Let them come, but with background checks through the front door.

Thursday at 7:13am • Jimmie … Amen! Helene!!!

Thursday at 7:57am • Chip …: Look at what they have done to us people…look at the white guilt we wear like an iron albatross around our necks. That we draw lines AFTER the savage acts of the true guilty towards the truly innocent??? What mind-numbing, PC, common sense-killing pill have we popped??? We are a nation of laws! We have a process for legally becoming a citizen of this wonderfully blessed country. Take it and you are welcome. Break it and you are a criminal. If you have a problem with that, I suggest you attend the next Arizona border town meeting and let your fellow citizens know how you feel…instead of condemning from behind the safety of your computer screen. Happy 4th of July!

Thursday at 4:04pm via Email Reply • Helene …: The political correctness is making people bury their heads in the sand. The people in the U.S. want to be good, decent people and have been suckered in by the left communists into thinking this is what they stand for. I wish it were true, but it’s not. They do not want what most citizens want, i.e. peace, love, brotherhood, understanding, tolerance, sharing of the wealth, have an atmospheric climate where everything is clean and green. This is all false. This will not happen with the communists on Capital Hill. The fact is they have evil in their hearts. Think about it. Hispanics are pro-life and pro-family. The left is not. The Muslims are anti-gay and routinely kill all gays in their country. Why are they protesting side by side with the gays and vice versa? The environmentalists are greenies and worship our trees and life. Communists worship themselves and want to depopulate the world by any and every means. When this country becomes fully communist where will all these people who normally disagree with each other and are normally physical activists end up? They will end up fighting each other, killing each other and havoc will be all over the streets–at the amusement of the communists.

With respect to the open border situation, many of those crossing the border are not Mexican. They come from all over to go through Mexico to get into the U.S. This includes those from South America and terrorists. In addition, the majority of the Mexicans coming in are the criminals wanting to overload the U.S. with drugs and think the U.S. belongs to them.

So we have the Mexicans who want to claim all of the U.S. as theirs and we have the Islamic Extremists who want to claim all of the world as theirs. Where will this lead?

Thursday at 7:14pm • Jim …: Wow, Helene, I didn’t think anyone could come up more crazy-ass paranoid wing-nuttery than Chip, and you just topped him!!!
You guys should form a team, join up with Orly Taitz and Glenn Beck and become the Four Horseman of the “A-Crock-o-Shits.”

Thursday at 7:43pm • Helene …: Thank you Jim. It’s much appreciated. Perfect for my blog.

Thursday at 8:20pm • Chip …: Now you’ve got it Helene! They reveal themselves far better than we ever could…They hate what follows the “think about it” part because it is indisputable. So all they have left is to attempt to marginalize the messenger with ridicule & intimidation. I don’t know who Orly is but the rest of the team sounds like good company to me.

Yesterday at 5:33am • Helene …: Orly is great. She is the dentist/lawyer suing B-O to see his birth certificate and find out why he’s using 38 different social security numbers. His current number belongs to a dead man born in 1889 in Connecticut. People find out all these things just by a little investigation. No wonder why they want to shut down the internet and control the media and stop Free Speech, etc., etc., etc.

Yesterday at 7:58am • Jim …: Oh Chip, you can’t hate something that’s so preposterous it just makes you laugh. My mistake has been trying to take on madness with reason. Big mistake. I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone.

Yesterday at 8:43am • Helene …: Strange how history repeats itself. The grandmother I never knew said the same thing in 1939 – in Vienna, Austria – just before Hitler won 98% of the vote.

Yesterday at 9:22am • Jim …: Aw, Helene, assuming you meant 1938, the year of the Anschluss, your grandma must either have been living in complete ignorance considering the Nazis had taken over Austria the month before the vote, which was only organized because Hitler wanted the veneer of legality for his conquest, or you’re just making that up, because it’s hard to believe anyone actually living under the Anschluss could have been that stupid.

Yesterday at 9:52am • Helene …: You might be right Jim. It probably was 1938 because in 1939 she was sent to Auschwitz with two of her children while my father and grandfather were sent to Dauchau. My father and grandfather got out because they obtained visas to leave the country in advance. My grandmother thought it was too “preposterous” for anything to happen to her in her country. If that’s being stupid – then it was – and still is. Blipe Gesaunt

Yesterday at 10:39am • Jim … So, now you’re comparing Obama to Auschwitz? Well, I guess going from Htler to the Final Solution wasn’t much of a stretch. Helene, you have absolutely no shame. So I’ll be ashamed for you. I’m ashamed to be of the same species as you.

You know, you people might be taken more seriously if your rants weren’t such insane hyperbole.
And of course you miss my point, on purpose, no doubt. I have learned well from the utter mendacity of Chip how you guys operate, so I’m used to it. I’m picking on your grandmother, though really I’m picking on you because I am certain you just made up that story. How could she have thought it “preposterous that anything could happen to her country” when it already had.

Tell you what, though, I’ll fix your error for you and allow that your grandmother couldn’t see Anschluss coming, but change it from “just before the vote” to more than a couple of years erlier. There were many who didn’t at that time.

That will help you fit all this into your timeline. Of course, to say it’s “Strange how history repeats itself” is simple lunacy because nothing is repeating anything of the sort, which was the essence of your pretend point. But no matter. You kids go run along and play in your imaginary world.

Yesterday at 3:22pm • Chip …: You’re a very funny man Jim…you sit glued to FB all day from your progressive watchtower scouring the landscape for haters & racists and nasty republican capitalists and such…totally oblivious to the venom & pus dripping from your own fangs & talons.

Yesterday at 5:50pm .Jim …: Chip, Helene compares Obama to Hitler and the Holocaust. You’ve called me a Marxist, communist, in with the terrorists and an idiot, yet I’m the one “totally oblivious to the venom & pus dripping from your own fangs & talons.”

Your unacknowleged yet all-encompassiing projection worries me. Are you seeing a shrink. Really. They help.

But your song, “Independence Day,” is really nice, great harmonies. Why don’t we see more of that guy?

Open Letter To BO from Jon Voight

June 22, 2010

Dear President Obama:

You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone’s enemy – and it has resonated throughout the world. You are putting Israel in harm’s way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world.

You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientist and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals and want Israel eradicated.

You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens. Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.

With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel,

Jon Voight

I have been having problems with these people from day one. My friends and family tell me the only reason for it is because the owners and moderators are probably a front for leftists. I am now convinced of it. They are taking good citizens who are on the right and taking up their time by teaching everything they could about our founding fathers, the Constitution, the Bible, etc. While these are not bad things, and people should know and learn about the founding fathers and the Constitution, (and the Bible is a personal choice), it is taking people away from finding out the full extent of what is going on in this world.

At the mere mention of Alex Jones, depopulation, conspiracy, etc., etc., I and others, get suspended. Now I am suspended permanently because of the Puerto Rican article I put on this site the other day. I didn’t write that article. That article was originally written by a Puerto Rican person. The fact that it was something that happened in 1985 does not mean it’s not happening here. It does not mean it’s still not happening in Puerto Rico. It does not mean it’s not happening all over the world. This was not “misinformation” as Cyn a moderator who suspends people at the slightest sneeze, would suggest.

These people are on the right with their heads stuck in the sand. Perhaps if they spend more time listening to things that upset them, they wouldn’t have such closed minds to the reality of the world around them.

“You have been suspended from As A Mom…
Sorry, Helene, you can not access As A Mom… as you have been suspended. If you think you’ve been suspended in error, you can contact the administrator.

Message to the Administrator

Thank you for suspending me. I came in here to cancel my membership. I believe you people are a front for the left in order to appease and distract people on the right from delving further into what’s really going on this this world. Shame on you. Freedom of Speech is dead on this site. You are either on the left in disguise or you’re hypocrits. Either way, you are very stupid people.

Female Sterilization in Puerto Rico by the US!!

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 12:23:19 +0000

Found the following in a forum:

I was looking for Puerto Rico images to use in blogs and happened onto this website. I am in complete shock because this is the very first I’ve heard of this! Its certainly been hush hush in America for all these years hasn’t it! I guess its time to open the door to some better understanding as to why Puerto Rico has always said no to becoming a Statehood till the Progressives have taken over. I am just outraged by this!!!!! Copy and Pass it around!!

I had no clue that we as Americans are and have been kept in the dark on so many things! Is there any wonder why other countries hate us?? What else is there we do not know about?? I am sure there is a multitude of things we will be awaking to in the near future! With Cass Sunstein is it?? Isn’t he the one that believes in sterilization? Is this America’s future under Obama as well?

I am so sorry to Puerto Rico for all the pain and hurt our Govt. has approved of and initiated! The majority of our citizens had no idea!!

Female Steralization in Puerto Rico
October 2008
By Maegan La Mala
http://vivirlatino.com/2008/10/30/female-steralization-in-puerto-ri…

In honor of the women of Puerto Rico and their daughters and grandaughters, mujeres like my abuela L.

Violence against women of color, especially Latina women, cannot be separated from a colonial context (despite what any Washington Post reporter may write). Specifically for Puerto Rican women, our bodies have been used as a battleground since the days the Spanish landed on Boriquen, to when the U.S. invaded in 1898, to today.

Pero today, in honor of Be Bold, Be Red, I want to specifically address the mass sterilization of women that took place in Puerto Rico.

…There are a number of examples in post Civil War America of eugenic programs but none as effective and widespread as the mass female sterilization in Puerto Rico. Beginning in the years following WW I, a program was initiated by the United States government, the medical community and the local government of Puerto Rico, to name a few, which resulted in the unprecedented sterilization of 1/3 of the female population by 1965, and the continued use of sterilization on a broad scale by Puerto Rican women as a form of birth control (Presser 1980)…

…In the film, Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trias states that population control was indeed a social policy in P.R. that targeted a group that was believed “shouldn’t have children” by other groups (Garcia 1985). According to one interview, each and every female in one extended family had been sterilized. The elder woman wept, saying that the family would end with no more women able to have children (Garcia 1985). Another woman, only 22 years old, was told by her doctor that sterilization was the only choice for birth control. She was given no other advice, information or options (Garcia 1985). Yet another woman believed that the procedure was reversible and that no surgery was involved. Even though the doctor knew her desire to have more children later, she was not told the truth. She concedes that she went through with the procedure on her own, but she is sad because she is young and would like to have another child – she states that if she would have known the truth, she would not have agreed (Garcia 1985).

In one town alone, Barceloneta, 20,000 women were sterilized between 1956 and 1976 (Garcia 1985)…By 1958, the total birth rate of Puerto Rico was on the decline and varying geographically, 10-42% of the women in towns and cities were sterilized (Garcia 1985)…

…Public schools drilled that having small families practically guaranteed financial stability and the capability to “have more” — like the nice pictures of the white, happy, American families, with picket fenced homes shown in the text books (Garcia 1985)…

…Not only was this island used as a testing ground for a population control program, but as a laboratory for the pill as well. In 1956, the first birth control pills were tested on Puerto Rican women living in government housing-they were 20 times stronger than the pills used in the U.S. 30 years later (Garcia 1985). Many women became ill, and as Garcia has shown, were completely in the dark that they were being used as guinea pigs for a potentially dangerous drug…

… “People applying for housing, or welfare, or food stamps, find themselves receiving orientation, education, and motivation towards sterilization” and “those that suffer the most from a condition of excess population are the groups with the least income and smallest amount of education” (Big Mama Rag 1975 p.3) This program was operated in an open fashion and a recruitment campaign was admitted to and it was said that 10,000-12,000 births were prevented, with the goal of 100% of childbearing age women to be sterilized. This is an incredible and clearly genocidal comment (Garcia 1985). By 1980, Puerto Rico had the highest incidence of female sterilization in the world. In 1977, Dr. Richard T. Ravenholt, a population officer for AID stated, “if U.S. goals were met, one-fourth of the world’s women would be sterilized to prevent revolutions that would interfere with multinational corporations financial success” (Garcia 1985). This is a ludicrous statement and implies that pregnant women and or mothers are the source of revolutions that would impede the almighty dollar!

Female Sterilization in Puerto Rico
by Sara Hoerlein

There are a number of examples in post Civil War America of eugenic programs but none as effective and widespread as the mass female sterilization in Puerto Rico. Beginning in the years following WW I, a program was initiated by the United States government, the medical community and the local government of Puerto Rico, to name a few, which resulted in the unprecedented sterilization of 1/3 of the female population by 1965, and the continued use of sterilization on a broad scale by Puerto Rican women as a form of birth control (Presser 1980).

The island of Puerto Rico is over 80% Catholic and providing services to prevent pregnancy was a felony until the 1930’s. The historic and social conditions — medical, legal, and political — that were conducive to this mass sterilization movement are important and of interest. For decades the United States has blamed overpopulation for economic problems, unemployment, and poverty in Puerto Rico, while ignoring the fact that they (the U.S.) have played an enormous role in generating and solidifying these conditions (Michaelson 1981). As a result, non-official programs with the intent of distributing birth control information and educating specifically poor families about the need for such practices were implemented in the1920’s (Presser 1973). Incredibly, as overpopulation was being blamed for economic crisis in the 1920’s, “less than 2% of the population owned 80% of the land” (Hartmann 1995 p.247). Strong opposition from the Catholic Church, unfavorable legal status of birth control, a disinterested public, and insufficient federal funding from the U.S., prevented these earlyn programs from becoming successful.

In 1937, 23 birth control clinics were opened by a private organization and a bill was signed that made it no longer a felony to advertise contraceptives or provide services to prevent pregnancy (Presser 1973). Another bill was signed authorizing the “Commissioner of Health in Puerto Rico to regulate the teaching and dissemination of eugenic principles, including contraception, to health centers and maternal hospitals” which was followed by the opening of 160 birth control clinics, private and public (Presser 1973 p.25). Then came law #136, passed by the U.S. government, which legalized sterilization for other than strictly medical reasons (Garcia 1985). Underlying the legal jargon was the advocacy of weeding out the “unfit”. It was then that sterilization was introduced to Puerto Rican women by physicians as a means of birth control. By 1939 the government was actively supporting birth control clinics and the distribution of contraceptives (Presser 1973). This was timely and convenient for the recent arrivals of U.S. manufacturing companies that needed cheap labor, i.e. women who could be “freed” from childcare for employment (Hartmann 1995). The United States, who previously had been stingy with money provided to P.R. for birth control education and programs, now was sending enormous amounts and government funds “encouraged women to accept sterilization by providing it at minimal or no cost” (Hartmann 1995 p.248). In fact, the Family Planning Agency of Puerto Rico receives 750,000-900,000$ of its budget from the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and that amount has increased accordingly in the last 25 years (Big Mama Rag 1977 p.9). In terms of the ratio of sterilized persons, these actions set in motion the most intense and successful eugenic population control program in U.S. history.

U.S. opinion was echoed in the words of the first North American governor appointed to Puerto Rico when he declared that there were too many Puerto Ricans, specifically poor laborers, and not enough wealthy land and business owners (Garcia 1985). By 1930 unemployment had reached 37%, sugarcane planters were complaining of the “excess population” and U.S. corporations were flourishing in this land of cheap labor and tax breaks. A few years later, as WW II ravaged Europe and devastated the textile industry there, sweat shops clamored to hire P.R. women to provide what Europe was unable to. Propaganda film clips shown in the United States in the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s further reinforce the position that the U. S. took toward P.R. — showing the poverty stricken people and blaming these circumstances on the overpopulation problem, stating that U.S. businesses along with sterilization programs would “cure” the economic woes of P.R (Garcia 1985). To the U.S., Puerto Rico was a source of cheap labor, high profit, tax-free business opportunities as well as a testing area for a population control program. Puerto Rico’s removed geographical location, a population of non-Northern European, Catholic people, and media promotion of “overpopulation” hysteria, all worked together to make this eugenics program acceptable to the U.S. majority — whom historically had been resistant to eugenic programs.

Of the three components — political, legal, and medical — that made this program possible, the medical community was by far the most influential and first hand at implementing the program. The physicians pushing for sterilization as a means of birth control believed that contraceptive methods were too complicated for lower class Puerto Rican women to understand, in effect, they were “too dumb” — to the physicians sterilization seemed to be the most feasible solution to the “problem” (Presser 1973). Many private clinics were established in the 1940’s for the sole purpose of performing sterilizations and it was common practice to persuade women upon delivering a child to accept sterilization soon after giving birth, when the woman was in a position of reduced capacity to effectively make such a decision due to medication, pain and exhaustion (Presser 1973). “By the1950’s demand for sterilization far exceeded the facilities . . . and roughly one-sixth of all Puerto Rican women were sterilized” (Presser 1973 p. 41). “La operacion” was the term that came to identify the widely available and the popular means of birth control.

Women in Puerto Rico “were no doubt eager for birth control” but the fact is that it was not voluntary, in the context of being informed and being provided other options of non-permanent birth control (Hartmann 1991 p.248). The targeted women were often unaware of the irreversibility of sterilization and pressure was put on them to accept the operation in exchange for longer hospital stays after childbirth. Physicians in Puerto Rico were and are held in high regard and as proponents of sterilization as birth control for the poor and uneducated, used that status to influence the decision of the woman. As stated in an interview in Big Mama Rag with a Puerto Rican woman, “doctors in Puerto Rico are viewed by most people as being almost holy” (1977 p.3). Other forms of contraceptives were not readily available to the lower class and not advocated by the medical establishment (Paul 1995). Hartmann notes that the Catholic Church held a somewhat more mild opposition to sterilization in comparison to contraceptives and abortion-sterilization could be justified for medical reasons (1995). Physicians often made medical records appear as if the sterilization was necessary for the health of the woman, almost never was it documented as a means of birth control (Presser 1973). This no doubt also played a role in a population that is almost completely Catholic. In an interview with two Puerto Rican women in Big Mama Rag, one woman states “at the beginning of the sterilization program, the church sort of subtly endorsed it”(1977 p. 9). And, as mentioned previously, even though the government did not admit a formal policy, it actively supported and encouraged sterilization. According to Garcia, Vincente Acevido, a previous mayor, says families are ‘limited to three children’ — and there is no official policy? (Garcia 1985). He states the lack of population growth according to the 1970 census is a great achievement (Garcia 1985). With these influential social forces exerting pressure on a targeted sector of the female population, one can see that the sterilization movement clearly was not a voluntary decision in most cases.

Ana Maria Garcia created a documentary film about sterilization in Puerto Rico entitled “La Operacion” which reinforces, through interviews with sterilized women and hospital/government/agency officials, this film confirms that the sterilization process was not completely voluntary.

In the film, Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trias states that population control was indeed a social policy in P.R. that targeted a group that was believed “shouldn’t have children” by other groups (Garcia 1985). According to one interview, each and every female in one extended family had been sterilized. The elder woman wept, saying that the family would end with no more women able to have children (Garcia 1985). Another woman, only 22 years old, was told by her doctor that sterilization was the only choice for birth control. She was given no other advice, information or options (Garcia 1985). Yet another woman believed that the procedure was reversible and that no surgery was involved. Even though the doctor knew her desire to have more children later, she was not told the truth. She concedes that she went through with the procedure on her own, but she is sad because she is young and would like to have another child – she states that if she would have known the truth, she would not have agreed (Garcia 1985).

In one town alone, Barceloneta, 20,000 women were sterilized between 1956 and 1976 (Garcia 1985). There were no restrictions on age, health or the number of children one already had. One woman from Barceloneta recounts the story of how she saw a woman going into the hospital with a suitcase and was curious. She said, innocent of what was going on there, that she wanted to go to the clinic with a suitcase and stay too. So she asked and they told her all she had to do was agree to a procedure — so she did — to get a stay in the hospital (Garcia 1985). By 1958, the total birth rate of Puerto Rico was on the decline and varying geographically, 10-42% of the women in towns and cities were sterilized (Garcia 1985).

As is evident from these interviews, some women chose to be sterilized but were in no way informed about the procedure, that it was indeed surgery, or sadly, its irreversibility. If it is said ‘if I had only known, I would not have done it’ than how can this possibly be an informed and consensual choice? This deceit was in no way limited to a few cases, as the statistics of young women sterilized illustrate. 2/3 between the ages of 20-29, 92% before the age of 35, with the average standing at the ripe old age of 26 (Big Mama Rag 1975).

In addition to the medical establishment and governmental funding, sterilization was promoted in other, not so obvious manners. Public schools drilled that having small families practically guaranteed financial stability and the capability to “have more” — like the nice pictures of the white, happy, American families, with picket fenced homes shown in the text books (Garcia 1985). A small family meant ‘progress’. This was an attractive setting the average Puerto Rican rarely had seen before and was led to believe that they had to get sterilized to have a good and prosperous life. In the late 40’s and early 50’s, it had become ‘in style’ to get sterilized and volunteers traveled across the island, preaching birth control as a means to prevent abortion (Garcia 1985).

Not only was this island used as a testing ground for a population control program, but as a laboratory for the pill as well. In 1956, the first birth control pills were tested on Puerto Rican women living in government housing-they were 20 times stronger than the pills used in the U.S. 30 years later (Garcia 1985). Many women became ill, and as Garcia has shown, were completely in the dark that they were being used as guinea pigs for a potentially dangerous drug. Nurses, like doctors, are influential and respected persons in Puerto Rican society. They came to the doors of these women and told them to take these new pills as part of a family planning program — again the influence of a person of status was used to target a specific portion of the population (Garcia 1985). Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trias confirms the allegations that Puerto Rican women were unknowingly used as a “laboratory for development of birth control technology” (Garcia 1985). The medical community and pharmeceutical companies have contributed and fueled, probably more than any other group, the eugenics program in Puerto Rico.

Although opposition to sterilization and birth control, mostly from the Catholic Church, accused the government of promoting national genocide, there was still no “official” program or policy on sterilization. And the government responded that obtaining and/or utilizing these services was the right and free will of the individual (Presser 1973). The clinics weren’t even termed birth control clinics, they were called places of “maternal health” or “maternal education” (Presser 1973 p. 36) and were also located in the factories where women worked (Garcia 1985). Factory owners were persuaded by the P.R. Family Planning Assoc. to give women time off to visit the clinics, so they would not have to pay maternity leave and/or lose workers to motherhood! (Garcia 1985). In 1964 the government endorsed a new plan to turn existing health centers into birth control clinics. Even as an official policy was denied, there was clear support, financial and otherwise, from the medical establishment, U.S. government, the P.R. government, pro-industrialists, American scholars, and family planning agencies such as the International Planned Parenthood Federation (Michaelson 1981). Munoz Marin, founder of the Popular Democratic Party and former governor in Puerto Rico, “announced his support for a family planning program which . . . would be purely voluntary, even if it must be carried out with the ‘necessary muscle’” (Michaelson 1981 p.197). This is a curious statement and further alludes to the fact that the population control measures instituted in Puerto Rico were not ‘voluntary’.

As mentioned previously for birth control measures to be eugenic in purpose, they have to be targeted to a specific portion of the population. Evidence to support the fact that the sterilization program in Puerto Rico was indeed aimed at the poor and uneducated, a class of people, has been cited. “People applying for housing, or welfare, or food stamps, find themselves receiving orientation, education, and motivation towards sterilization” and “those that suffer the most from a condition of excess population are the groups with the least income and smallest amount of education” (Big Mama Rag 1975 p.3) This program was operated in an open fashion and a recruitment campaign was admitted to and it was said that 10,000-12,000 births were prevented, with the goal of 100% of childbearing age women to be sterilized. This is an incredible and clearly genocidal comment (Garcia 1985). By 1980, Puerto Rico had the highest incidence of female sterilization in the world. In 1977, Dr. Richard T. Ravenholt, a population officer for AID stated, “if U.S. goals were met, one-fourth of the world’s women would be sterilized to prevent revolutions that would interfere with multinational corporations financial success” (Garcia 1985). This is a ludicrous statement and implies that pregnant women and or mothers are the source of revolutions that would impede the almighty dollar! The U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) increased its budget for birth control in Latin America 1968-1972 by a whopping 100 million dollars while ate the same time reducing health care assistance by the same amount (Garcia 1985). Americans like to believe, that Americans are the ultimate humanitarians and concerned with human rights violations and equal rights for women across the globe, concerned for the ‘less fortunate’ people. This is simply not true. The U.S. is not concerned for the welfare of impoverished people, or their rights, health or economic status. They are concerned about their own monetary interests, political well being, and “safeguarding the superior white civilization from the crude and inferior” (Big Mama Rag 1975 p. 3). In the 70’s inflation rose and unemployment skyrocketed in P.R., half of the population was on food stamps, despite the significant decline in fertility rates and population growth. While reported in the Big mama Rag, that “indeed the working class . . . is being reduced . . .with the highest rate (43%) occur[ing] among the 4k-5k per year income bracket”,the sterilization program did not solve the economic or social problems for the island (1975 p.3). The people of Puerto Rico still suffer the same economic and social problems and now they also carry a burden of sadness for what has been done to the female population and additionally, the family. Over 60% of the population lives below the poverty level and unemployment has doubled again in the last 10 years. While at the same time U.S. profits from Puerto Rico have grown by 500%!! (Garcia 1985). Oppression and exploitation of the Puerto Rican people has been common practice and the eugenic program has been the most serious extension of U.S. policy toward Puerto Rico.

It is difficult to say what the future will hold for Puerto Rico on a socio-economical level, but certain is the long range effect of a eugenic program that has lasted half a century. Mass sterilization efforts, although not as rigorous, have been implemented in other Latin American countries such as Colombia, with the help and funding of the United States and agencies like Planned Parenthood International using misleading propaganda and playing on the fears and aspirations of the poor and uneducated.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad. The Patriot Act imposes imprisonment of anyone who is against the government. Now that we have a communist government there are a lot of people who are against them. So the Patriot Act will allow the government to put all those people–including this cousin–into joil or one of those “Internment Camps” Bertha Lewis of ACORN is admitting exists and I’ve known about for 14 years and throw away the key with no trial and indefinitely.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

Blogger’s Note: Depends on who is being tortured

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad and still made that they are doing it more now than ever.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad and I’m still mad and I know we have the capability to finding anyone on earth we can just by the sound of a person’s voice. That’s how Noriega of Columbia was found.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

Bloger’s Note: Boy did I get mad and still mad that there are still so many displaced families and animals and not much is being done to correct the situation. I am also mad the FEMA put all those people in a stadium and wouldn’t allow them to leave even after the roads were clear and they could go home.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad and still mad. Not all the stimulus money has even been used and they are making arrangements to give out more with no cap. GM just repaid their loan with interest. How did they do it? Well it certainly wasn’t done by an increase in sales. They were given the money from the government from one pocket to pay it into the other pocket. Also, that stimulus money isn’t going back when repaid into the budget, but rather to be spent again by any means possible.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

Blogger’s Note: Boy did I get mad and am still mad. I look at how it goes up every single day.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans…oh hell no.

Blogger’s Note: I did not get mad until I heard our liar in chief speak saying what was not in the bill, like rationing of care, and then in the evening heard Mark Levin, (whom I never heard of before and is a constitutional lawyer), say what’s in the bill page by page, section by section, and it contradicted everything our liar-in-chief said that very same afternoon. Since then the final bill got even worse. This is what turned me around and I went from being a communist (unbeknowist to me) to a conservative (just right of center).

Now for other notes to my favorite cousin, Rhoda:

Our country has been on the slow track towards socialism since the turn on the twentieth century. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Welfare are socialist ideas. I believe in these ideas as it is illogical to think everyone can be able to fend for themselves all the time. The old get sick and get unable to work, young females get pregnant and don’t have anyone to help with the bills, and a million other reasons. Social programs to help those in need are great and necessary.

Programs just scamming people to do things based on falsehoods, (i.e. global warming, climate change, EPA regulations, energy savings based on false supplies of oil while your own country has a vast reserve of such, (and by the way fossil fuel is from whales–not what’s in the ground) and the insistance on buying Health Insurance that does everything except provide healthcare to people, are not acceptable.

If you would like to see how healthcare will effect you, as a person, please see the following PDF:

If you would like to see the timeline of the healthcare bill for when coverages, the 17 taxes, etc., kick in, please see the following PDF:

http://www.freespeechpolitics.us/hctimeline.pdf

Those pages do not even mention that we are the sole loaners of financial aid to all college students and if they work for the government after they graduate, it does not have to be paid back.

Those pages do not even mention that it allows the government to put civilian military on our streets to go against us – the people of the U.S. – in times of civil unrest, disaster assistance, etc. What civil unrest? The one the government will create by bankrupting us, (Cloward and Pivan strategy), putting leftist radicals in Tea Party protest rallies to cause civil unrest, (I’ve been to Tea Party rallies and have seen them), blowing up a building or two, or using HAARP (can cause earthquakes, and other bad weather conditions and is located in Alaska), to cause a disaster, paying off terrorists to be a suicide bomber, etc. Our government has never been using tactics to cause a catastrophe. “Never let a good crisis go to waste” is what they say.

Rhoda, we have a communist in the White House, (and I did meet Victoria Jackson) and all the people he has surrounding him are communists. If they are Republican or Democrat it does not matter. Communists have infiltrated both parties.

Today is a rally in Manhattan against our liar-in-chief’s treatment of Israel’s Prime Minister, Netenyahu. Did yo know he got invited to dinner by our liar-in-chief and then got kicked out before dinner? Did you know our liar-in-chief is siding with the Arab countries with respect to Israel–in all matters?

Are you just listening to Rosie, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN? Then I am surprised you even know we still have a government. They are all owned by leftists and companies like GE who are the big gainers in all the scams being infiltrated by our government and big bankers.

Here is a link to an article by someone from a communist country outlining how a country goes from a Democracy to a concentration camp:

http://www.freespeechpolitics.us/dem2con.pdf

Are you falling for the Goldman Sachs slap on the hand by the SEC? Goldman Sachs has met with our liar-in-chief four times since he’s been in office and is part of the bigger problem. The bigger problem is the big bankers making up the IMF (International Monetary Fund who has told all countries to reduce the world’s population by 50% or lose funding).

Are you aware of attempts to depopulate the earth by upwards of 90% people–with you becase you’re over 50 going first? Monsonto is poisoning the food supply, the vaccines, which are made in China are poisoned with mercury and formaldyhyde, homeopathic medicines and vitamins (Codex Alimentarius) are being outlawed, fishing is being outlawed, gardening is being outlawed, coal is being outlawed, CO2, which is what you breath out, is being carbon taxed, etc., etc., etc.

This is why I’m mad. This is why you need to wake up and realize this is no longer the United States of America. Yes there are plenty of people who didn’t believe me at first and even stopped talking to me. They are all coming back and saying they realize I have been right all along and they believe what I say now.

So if not for your benefit, please think of what is happening to the United States on behalf of your children and your grandchildren, and my daughter, whom I know you love a lot.

Love,

Your cousin Helene

New Forum To Discuss The Real Agenda

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:48:47 +0000

I’ve been visiting the various right-wing conservative sites on the Internet and found a common theme in most of them. What they discuss is the government and many political issues, but not when it comes to the issues too difficult for people to understand or comprehend.

At the mere mention of Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura, depopulation, New World Order, etc., etc., etc., and the fact that our government is not only out to kill us, but most of the governments of the world are on a depopulation agenda, I get suspended, I’m called a liar, I’m called an awful person to even think of such a thing, etc., etc., etc. I consider these people still somewhat brainwashed as to what’s really going on in the world. They still have their “heads in the sand” as they keep saying about the people on the left.

They are not facing reality. They think by knowing the constitution, about the founding fathers, and how to vote in November, signing petitions, calling our politicians, and protesting a little bit everything will correct itself.

Well it will slow things down, but save the world? I hardly doubt it. I don’t even know if having our heads out of the sand and recognizing we are being depopulized through conspiracies and secret societies, etc., will save us. We are fighting well-planned, long-term (now near it’s end) goals from a few elitists and unless we address this problem on a large scale, we will not accomplish anything.

I have therefore set up a new site to discuss these forbidden issues. We will discuss what Alex Jones of Prison Planet and Infowars has to say. We will discuss the topics Jesse Ventura has on his Conspiracy Theories show. We will discuss how we are all being poisoned to death by Monsonto and the government as being told to us by Rima Laibow, M.D. We will discuss the threat of The New World Order, Islamic Extremists, and our own congress people and Senators. We will go where no one dares go because it’s too terrible to say out loud.

Please join me in chat and in a temporaily free membership to openly talk about these things intelligently and supportively.

My new site is at: http://freespeechpolitics.ning.com

See you there.
