Here, fellow Patriots, is some of the courtroom proceedings involving Dr. Orley Taitz and plaintiffs from Atlanta at the first hearing on Obozo's eligibility hearing, where he nor his counsel bothered to show up. Please note at the beginning as the intro scrolls, it notes also that Jablonski, Bo's atty, went so far as to LIE to the court in the claims submitted to the court. Join us on Tea Party Radio tonight for a little more discussion on this nation-changer-of-an issue! www.blogtalkradio.com/teapartyorg Call in @ 646-200-4032. We are LIVE at 9 pm EST!

RE: Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings
Dear Mr. Jablonski:
I received your letter expressing your concerns with the manner in which the Office of State Administrative Hearings ("OSAH") has handled the candidate challenges involving your client and advising me that you and your client will "suspend" participation in the administrative proceeding. While I regret that you do not feel that the proceedings are appropriate, my referral of this matter to an administrative law judge at OSAH was in keeping with Georgia law, and specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5.
As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State's Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning.
In following the procedures set forth in the Georgia Election Code, I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge.
Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.
I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Kemp

Well, we all knew these criminals- and particularly the one in the White House- were up to something, and that they hold absolutely no-zero-zip-nada-respect for the rule of law or even the basic attempts at civil decency. This was just sent to me a few minutes ago, so read on, fellow Patriots. This will be our main topic of discussion tomorrow night on Tea Party Radio-Founder's Quest: The Seigfreid/Toepfer Hour with co-host Peggy Burgess. This is stunning... even given all that we know about these people and their corruption...and it seems to get worse every passing day. Here's the info:

Re: Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings
Dear Secretary Kemp:
This is to advise you of serious problems that have developed in the conduct of the hearings pending before the Office of State Administrative Hearings. At issue in these hearings are challenges that allege that President Obama is not eligible to hold or run for re-election to his office, on the now wholly discredited theory that he does not meet the citizenship requirements. As you know, such allegations have been the subject of numerous judicial proceedings around the country, all of which have concluded that they were baseless and, in some instances – including in the State of Georgia - that those bringing the challenges have engaged in sanctionable abuse of our legal process.
Nonetheless, the Administrative Law Judge has exercised no control whatsoever over this proceeding, and it threatens to degenerate into a pure forum for political posturing to the detriment of the reputation of the State and your Office. Rather than bring this matter to a rapid conclusion, the ALJ has insisted on agreeing to a day of hearings, and on the full participation of the President in his capacity as a candidate. Only last week, he denied a Motion to Quash a subpoena he approved on the request of plaintiff’s counsel for the personal appearance of the President at the hearing, now scheduled for January 26.
For these reasons, and as discussed briefly below, you should bring an end to this baseless, costly and unproductive hearing by withdrawing the original hearing request as improvidently issued.
It is well established that there is no legitimate issue here—a conclusion validated time and again by courts around the country. The State of Hawaii produced official records documenting birth there; the President made documents available to the general public by placing them on his website. “Under the United States Constitution, a public record of a state is required to be given ‘full faith and credit’ by all other states in the country. Even if a state were to require its election officials for the first time ever to receive a ‘birth certificate’ as a requirement for a federal candidate’s ballot placement, a document certified by another state, such as a ‘short form’ birth certificate, or the certified long form, would be required to be accepted by all states under the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the United States Constitution.” Maskell, “Qualifications for President and the “Natural Born” Citizenship Eligibility Requirement,” Congressional Research Service (November 14, 2011), p.41.
Nonetheless, the ALJ has decided, for whatever reason, to lend assistance through his office—and by extension, yours—to the political and legally groundless tactics of the plaintiffs. One of the attorneys for the plaintiffs has downloaded form subpoenas which she tried to serve around the country. Plaintiff’s attorney sent subpoenas seeking to force attendance by an office machine salesman in Seattle; seeking to force the United States Attorney to bring an unnamed “Custodian of Records Department of Homeland Security” to attend the hearing with immunization records; and asking the same U.S. Attorney to bring the same records allegedly possessed by “Custodian of Records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.” She served subpoenas attempting to compel the production of documents and the attendance of Susan Daniels and John Daniels, both apparently out of state witnesses, regarding Social Security records. She is seeking to compel the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii to bring to Atlanta the “original typewritten 1961 birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, II, issued 08.08.1961 by Dr. David Sinclair…,” even though Hawaii courts had dismissed with prejudice the last attempt to force release of confidential records on November 9, 2011. Taitz v. Fuddy, CA No. 11-1-1731-08 RAN.
In Rhodes v. McDonald, 670 F. Supp. 2d 1363, 1365 (USDC MD GA, 2009), Judge Clay Land wrote this of plaintiff’s attorney:
When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law. When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law….
As a national leader in the so-called ‘birther movement,’ Plaintiff’s counsel has attempted to use litigation to provide the ‘legal foundation’ for her political agenda. She seeks to use the Court’s power to compel discovery in her efforts force the President to produce a ‘birth certificate’ that is satisfactory to herself and her followers.” 670 F. Supp. 2d at 1366.
All issues were presented to your hearing officer—the clear-cut decision to be on the merits, and the flagrantly unethical and unprofessional conduct of counsel—and he has allowed the plaintiffs’ counsel to run amok. He has not even addressed these issues—choosing to ignore them. Perhaps he is aware that there is no credible response; perhaps he appreciates that the very demand made of his office—that it address constitutional issues—is by law not within its authority. See, for example, Flint River Mills v. Henry, 234 Ga. 385, 216 S.E.2d 895 (1975); Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.22(3).
The Secretary of State should withdraw the hearing request as being improvidently issued. A referring agency may withdraw the request at any time. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.17(1). Indeed, regardless of the collapse of proceedings before the ALJ, the original hearing request was defective as a matter of law. Terry v. Handel, 08cv158774S (Superior Court Fulton County, 2008), appeal dismissed, No. S09D0284 (Ga. Supreme Court), reconsideration denied, No. S09A1373. (“The Secretary of State of Georgia is not given any authority that is discretionary nor any that is mandatory to refuse to allow someone to be listed as a candidate for President by a political party because she believes that the candidate might not be qualified.”) Similarly, no law gives the Secretary of State authority to determine the qualifications of someone named by a political party to be on the Presidential Preference Primary ballot. Your duty is determined by the statutory requirement that the Executive Committee of a political party name presidential preference primary candidates. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-193. Consequently, the attempt to hold hearings on qualifications which you may not enforce is ultra vires.
We await your taking the requested action, and as we do so, we will, of course, suspend further participation in these proceedings, including the hearing scheduled for January 26.
Very truly yours,
MICHAEL JABLONSKI

FINALLY! Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. will have her day in court! On Jan. 26, the court will hear two atty.s here in Georgia AND Dr. Taitz as they present evidence regarding Obama's eligibility to be on the ballot here for the 2012 election. Obamalinsky had filed a motion to dismiss, and the judge TURNED IT DOWN. For Orly's take on this, http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=29976
For those of you who listened in on Tea Party Radio a few weeks ago, Dr. Taitz joined us on the program and this was one of the topics of discussion. Go to the link above for more detailed information from Dr. Taitz herself.
Tune in tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 4, for Tea Party Radio where we have as our featured guest conservative columnist Mychal Massie. He will be joining us @ 9 pm EST and we will be discussing his latest observations posted on World Net Daily, and his blog @ http://mychal-massie.com/premium/
With your continuing participation and voice, we can and will make a difference!
As to the continuous comments that if we don't support Ron Paul, then the Republic is dead, I beg to differ. I spent a few hours tonight chatting one-on-one with some fellow Tea Partiers @ our monthly meeting, round-table informal and friendly. Hard-core RP supporters. On the question of our "interventionist" policies RP supporters are so hard-headed about, I ask a simple question: Was it interventionist policies that caused us to initiate a missle-defense system to neuter the threat of Russian and Chinese aggression in Poland and Eastern Europe...that Obama withdrew? Why were the Eastern Europeans upset that the Kenyan reneged and left them holding their ass in their hands? Did we FORCE it on them? NO. Working off of Reagan's "peace-through-strength" philosophy has been extremely beneficial for many in this world, and many nations in this world look to the ONLY beacon of hope that will sacrifice it's own blood and treasure to PROTECT THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM TYRANNY AND DESPOTISM. Do we need to be the world's policeman, many RP supporters ask rhetorically? Does defending yourself and your friends and neighbors make you some vicious policeman? RP's isolationist tendencies will get us killed, and a whole lot of other people as well, because he and his supporters just cannot imagine that just "being nice" and ignoring an ugly reality is going to get you gutted when you're not looking. ObamabinBiden is one of those, although for reasons completely unrelated to "isolationism." There is good and evil in this world, and there is a huge preponderance of EVIL that would love to see freedom smudged out completely.
I will not get into all of my reasons as to why I think Ron Paul is dangerous, but here are a few of the most prominent besides that just mentioned: 1) He has the appearance of an old, goofy looking/sounding crank, with the baggage of his racist newsletter he once published, among other things; 2) There is no way he will be able to beat Barack Obama and his criminal machine, for a variety of reasons, one being his temperment; 3) He, just like every single other Constitutional officer and elected representative, have completely abrogated his/their Article 6 Sec. 3 Constitutional Oaths to uphold the Constitution. Read it. By the abject failure to call to task Obama, Holder, the entire DOJ, all of Obama's appointees and all of Obama's CRIMINAL activities and violations of the Constitution & Bill of Rights they have made themselves complicit, by misprison of felony and more, in all the criminal and un-Constitutional actions perpetrated on their watch, under their noses, and aided and abetted Treason and High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
So James, you may be asking...who the hell do you support then?
That's a damn good question, glad you asked. At this point, it's too early for me to say, which is why my favorite shirt has emblazoned across the front "POLITICALLY UNREPRESENTED." And here's my thinking about all of this: It is absolutely critical that Obama/Biden be removed at the STATE LEVEL from the ballot. INELIGIBLE must be forced to the surface by legislative initiatives in every state possible by forcing him and every single candidate to PRODUCE VALID DOCUMENTATION AS TO ARTICLE 2 ELIGIBILITY. Here in Georgia there are already a few efforts by state reps underway to put this into effect...and it must be accomplished at the legislative level and enforced upon each states' ELECTORS. This is the only hope we have...I do not see any other. Our reps at the Federal level are not listening, have not been listening, and WILL NOT take any action that is required of them and demanded by we the people and the Rule of Law.
Obamabinbiden and the international elite that have been behind this criminal takeover in '08 are way ahead of us. The "elections" of '12 have already been rigged. ACORN was never taken down...they exploded into dozens more new groups flying under the radar. Holder and the DOJ are doing everything possible to allow all the dead & made-up folks of 2008 to be able to vote again in bigger numbers with this ill-concealed effort to sue states that are initiating voter-ID laws. You know, don't you, that you can't even get welfare without valid ID? So just who do you think this "initiative" is geared towards? If it rhymes with "illegal alien" you got it right.
The huge illegal foreign contributions and other illegal donations of '08 to Obamabinbiden have yet to be addressed by the Federal Election Commission...I am SHOCKED. They are still "under investigation." It will be a mere pittance compared to 2012.
So I am not so much concerned with the riff-raff running on the GOP ticket right now, as they so far have completely refused to address the elephant in the room, and show no signs whatsoever of doing so. This must be done at the state level, where it should originate anyway, and the sovereignty of the states and the people of the states must be VIGOROUSLY re-asserted, our Rule of Law and strict adherence to the Constitution & Bill of Rights AND the Declaration of Independence RECLAIMED AND ENFORCED, as they are all inextricably intertwined, along with the future of our children, grandchildren, and the longest-surviving Republic mankind has ever known.
STAY TUNED...
With the beyond-absurd contention by AG Eric Holder that all the fuss over Fast & Furious is only because he and the Kenyan are both black should legitimately draw the contempt and scorn it deserves. These people have no conscience, no class, and no legitimacy whatsoever. Who are the real racists? That question is remarkably simple to answer by looking at history. Here is an excellent video on that subject and is a must-see to shine the light of day on one of the most evil and distorted ideologies ever to effect the American political landscape:http://yourdaddy.net/2011/12/23/who-is-the-ku-klux-klan/
Please watch this and pass it on. They don't teach this in public schools, that's for sure...and they damn sure need to.
Make sure to join us on Tea Party Radio Wednesday evening @ 9 pm EST! Attorney Orly Taitz will be joining us for what should be a very interesting program. Dr. Taitz has been all over the eligibility issue now for over 3 years, and has been at the forefront of the most valid-and-controversial issue this nation has ever seen...an ineligible foreigner in the White House, with the exception of Chester Arthur, and Chester Arthur was not a Communist/Marxist/Islamofascist/community organizer. Tell your friends, get on your blogs, whatever...Dr. Taitz will be filling us in on her latest excursion to Hawaii with Doug Voght, who was on the program just over a month ago talking about his analysis of the forged BC and how it was done with Adobe Illustrator, among other things. This is one hour you don't want to miss!

You know, we all do a lot of talking. Many of us take a lot of action in many and varied places and venues. We are dedicated to preserving this nation and our Founding Principles, and will do just about anything we possibly can to accomplish that. Many of us belong to local Tea Party groups, some of us have been on the front lines in forming local Tea Party groups, and many of us do more than that, specifically many who are also HERE at Tea Party.org. We blog. We write our Congress-critters. Our local legislators. Our newspapers, magazines, and on...and we are on a mission. WE MUST restore this nation to our Constitutional Founding Principles, and we know that we have a very long, up-hill battle ahead of us. To know thine enemy is half the battle. Dr. Walter Williams points it out quite well:

We'll have a special guest tonight on Tea Party Radio. JB Williams, conservative author and activist will be joining us to discuss his dissection of SB 1867, the Defense Authorization Bill which was voted FOR by 93 of our elected Senators in Washington over strenuous and vocal objections. This bill gives a green-light for the Usurper-in-Chief to detain indefinetly any American citizen or group HE deems dangerous as "domestic terrorists" and a host of other open-ended descriptors.

We all have those around us who just can't seem to remember history, or find it easier to distort it than believe it. Well, here's a little nugget we all need to carry with us every day and SCREAM FROM THE ROOFTOPS---REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007!!
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!Remember that day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that BarneyFrank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and the sky did fall!)
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!So when someone tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for,
And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!"The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
This is from our friends at the Veteran Defenders of America. Please read this, print it out, look them up and take the appropriate action:

This takes a little time to get through, depending on how strong your stomach is. However, I have calmed down enough to shut the truck off, get my pack out of it and back to the house, and put my guns away...for now...

"The Entire System Has Been Utterly Destroyed By The MF Global Collapse" - Presenting The First MF Global Casualty

Presented without comment, merely to confirm that the market as we know it, no longer exists.
BCM Has Ceased Operations (source)
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - November 17, AD 2011 10:27 AM MST
Dear Clients, Industry Colleagues and Friends of Barnhardt Capital Management,
It is with regret and unflinching moral certainty that I announce that Barnhardt Capital Management has ceased operations. After six years of operating as an independent introducing brokerage, and eight years of employment as a broker before that, I found myself, this morning, for the first time since I was 20 years old, watching the futures and options markets open not as a participant, but as a mere spectator.
The reason for my decision to pull the plug was excruciatingly simple: I could no longer tell my clients that their monies and positions were safe in the futures and options markets – because they are not. And this goes not just for my clients, but for every futures and options account in the United States. The entire system has been utterly destroyed by the MF Global collapse. Given this sad reality, I could not in good conscience take one more step as a commodity broker, soliciting trades that I knew were unsafe or holding funds that I knew to be in jeopardy.
The futures markets are very highly-leveraged and thus require an exceptionally firm base upon which to function. That base was the sacrosanct segregation of customer funds from clearing firm capital, with additional emergency financial backing provided by the exchanges themselves. Up until a few weeks ago, that base existed, and had worked flawlessly. Firms came and went, with some imploding in spectacular fashion. Whenever a firm failure happened, the customer funds were intact and the exchanges would step in to backstop everything and keep customers 100% liquid – even as their clearing firm collapsed and was quickly replaced by another firm within the system.
Everything changed just a few short weeks ago. A firm, led by a crony of the Obama regime, stole all of the non-margined cash held by customers of his firm. Let’s not sugar-coat this or make this crime seem “complex” and “abstract” by drowning ourselves in six-dollar words and uber-technical jargon. Jon Corzine STOLE the customer cash at MF Global. Knowing Jon Corzine, and knowing the abject lawlessness and contempt for humanity of the Marxist Obama regime and its cronies, this is not really a surprise. What was a surprise was the reaction of the exchanges and regulators. Their reaction has been to take a bad situation and make it orders of magnitude worse. Specifically, they froze customers out of their accounts WHILE THE MARKETS CONTINUED TO TRADE, refusing to even allow them to liquidate. This is unfathomable. The risk exposure precedent that has been set is completely intolerable and has destroyed the entire industry paradigm. No informed person can continue to engage these markets, and no moral person can continue to broker or facilitate customer engagement in what is now a massive game of Russian Roulette.
I have learned over the last week that MF Global is almost certainly the mere tip of the iceberg. There is massive industry-wide exposure to European sovereign junk debt. While other firms may not be as heavily leveraged as Corzine had MFG leveraged, and it is now thought that MFG’s leverage may have been in excess of 100:1, they are still suicidally leveraged and will likely stand massive, unmeetable collateral calls in the coming days and weeks as Europe inevitably collapses. I now suspect that the reason the Chicago Mercantile Exchange did not immediately step in to backstop the MFG implosion was because they knew and know that if they backstopped MFG, they would then be expected to backstop all of the other firms in the system when the failures began to cascade – and there simply isn’t that much money in the entire system. In short, the problem is a SYSTEMIC problem, not merely isolated to one firm.
Perhaps the most ominous dynamic that I have yet heard of in regards to this mess is that of the risk of potential CLAWBACK actions. For those who do not know, “clawback” is the process by which a bankruptcy trustee is legally permitted to re-seize assets that left a bankrupt entity in the time period immediately preceding the entity’s collapse. So, using the MF Global customers as an example, any funds that were withdrawn from MFG accounts in the run-up to the collapse, either because of suspicions the customer may have had about MFG from, say, watching the company’s bond yields rise sharply, or from purely organic day-to-day withdrawls, the bankruptcy trustee COULD initiate action to “clawback” those funds. As a hedge broker, this makes my blood run cold. Generally, as the markets move in favor of a hedge position and equity builds in a client’s account, that excess equity is sent back to the customer who then uses that equity to offset cash market transactions OR to pay down a revolving line of credit. Even the possibility that a customer could be penalized and additionally raped AGAIN via a clawback action after already having their customer funds stolen is simply villainous. While there has been no open indication of clawback actions being initiated by the MF Global trustee, I have been told that it is a possibility.
And so, to the very unpleasant crux of the matter. The futures and options markets are no longer viable. It is my recommendation that ALL customers withdraw from all of the markets as soon as possible so that they have the best chance of protecting themselves and their equity. The system is no longer functioning with integrity and is suicidally risk-laden. The rule of law is non-existent, instead replaced with godless, criminal political cronyism.
Remember, derivatives contracts are NOT NECESSARY in the commodities markets. The cash commodity itself is the underlying reality and is not dependent on the futures or options markets. Many people seem to have gotten that backwards over the past decades. From Abel the animal husbandman up until the year 1964, there were no cattle futures contracts at all, and no options contracts until 1984, and yet the cash cattle markets got along just fine.
Finally, I will not, under any circumstance, consider reforming and re-opening Barnhardt Capital Management, or any other iteration of a brokerage business, until Barack Obama has been removed from office AND the government of the United States has been sufficiently reformed and repopulated so as to engender my total and complete confidence in the government, its adherence to and enforcement of the rule of law, and in its competent and just regulatory oversight of any commodities markets that may reform. So long as the government remains criminal, it would serve no purpose whatsoever to attempt to rebuild the futures industry or my firm, because in a lawless environment, the same thievery and fraud would simply happen again, and the criminals would go unpunished, sheltered by the criminal oligarchy.
To my clients, who literally TO THE MAN agreed with my assessment of the situation, and were relieved to be exiting the markets, and many whom I now suspect stayed in the markets as long as they did only out of personal loyalty to me, I can only say thank you for the honor and pleasure of serving you over these last years, with some of my clients having been with me for over twelve years. I will continue to blog at Barnhardt.biz, which will be subtly re-skinned soon, and will continue my cattle marketing consultation business. I will still be here in the office, answering my phones, with the same phone numbers. Alas, my retirement came a few years earlier than I had anticipated, but there was no possible way to continue given the inevitability of the collapse of the global financial markets, the overthrow of our government, and the resulting collapse in the rule of law.
As for me, I can only echo the words of David:
“This is the Lord’s doing; and it is wonderful in our eyes.”

While we are all talking about what to do, the Rule of Law, Constitution, candidates, etc.etc.etc., please consider joining these people also because as we move forward, WE ALL NEED TO BE IN THIS TOGETHER and there is so much happening that we have no clue about, the more, as we say, the merrier.
