WE MUST BE TRANSFORMED Posted by Chaplain Thomas Gilbert Cole Many books and bible versions can inform, but only the true Holy Bible can transform. Yes folks the preserved and inherent word the Holy Bible is without doubt, controversy or question whatsoever the most important informational and educational manual/document a truly saved by grace born again Bible believing and practicing individual can ever posses!!! Our right to carry, study, practice, and follow the true word of the Most High Holy and Righteous Almighty God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost is the highest achievement a person can posses in this life. This wonderful nation founded as Christian Constitutional Republic was established to protect Almighty God given rights. While all our founding fathers were not all born again: you know? Those that had believed with their whole heart, being, mind, and soul, confessed and repented turning from their sins, and calling on the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, trusting in His shed blood for their eternal salvation; all were educated by the preserved and inherent word the Holy Bible. Our founding documents both state and national comprising of the Constitutions, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Rights were based on the Holy Bible and the Ten Commandments. As Christian Americans we have two basic responsibilities: One of course is to take the Saving Gospel into all the world, and today without argument this includes our own beloved country our neighbors. And two is to oppose evil in the church, government, and society (We the People). It is a very sad commentary that the churches of the Living God have for the most part been extremely remiss in opposing evil!!! This preacher believes without the shadow of any doubt whatsoever that the demise of Virtue, Liberty, and Independence has been brought about by the changing of our Christian Constitutional Republic, which is government by Almighty God's established law- into a Democracy, which is government based on the ever changing whims of the majority: "THOU SHALT NOT FOLLOW A MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL;” Exodus 23: 2(a). Our precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ commanded us to: "IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS"!!!!! When the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour were commanded by the government authorities after jailing (yes Jesus Christ and his apostles were jailbirds, most suffered capitol punishment-murdered-for righteousness sake). After being flogged they were commanded not to "speak in the name of Jesus Christ"!!! What did they do? "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN." Acts 5 : 29. They most certainly refused to obey those governmental authorities; and of course they did not shake with fear and hide themselves. They were not ashamed of the Saving Gospel and opposition to evil. "And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ." Acts 5 : 42. We must protect our God given Rights. The very first Article of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of these United States of America outlines the responsibility of government which is to protect the rights of ALL citizens assures and guarantees that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion(no State Church), or prohibiting the free exercise(the public pronouncement of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ, and opposition to evil) thereof, or the abridging the freedom of speech(public proclamation), or the press....." Just before our Revolutionary war for Virtue (moral excellence), Liberty (only Christ Jesus can set us free), and Independence (separation from the world, and the commission to take our form of government into all the world). Preachers like John Witherspoon, Samuel Davies along with numerous others were persecuted for preaching the Saving Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ without a license from the English Crown, the Monarch is the head of the Anglican Church. Today we are aware of course and without the slightest controversy whatsoever that Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the only head of His churches. All churches in these United States of America are separate from ALL government control and interference of any kind whatsoever!!!! Our Christian Constitutional Republic (please understand this has absolutely nothing to do with political parties) are totally tax immune, not taxable (who would dare to tax Almighty God's church, or His Holy Bible???). This was true until January 1, 1984 when un-Constitutional and therefore illegal unlawful legislation that cannot be enforced except by criminal action of out of control government. This is "law" which is a throw back to King George and taxation without representation. Come on now preacher? We have representatives in congress. Yes, you are very right we do have representatives in our government, but neither Almighty God nor His churches are represented. But this anti-Church law is a provision that illegally, unlawfully, and un-Constitutionally forces churches to withhold a certain percentage in Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Twenty years latter we witness government intruding into the affairs of the true church of the Most High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God forcing churches to submit to "Public Policy", which is aborticide, homosexual "rights" unbelievably promoting same sex marriage. The churches are being forced to be "Politically Correct" which of course is most assuredly anti-God, Anti-Christ, Anti-Church, and Anti Holy Bible (Ten Commandments). Folks, our nation and our churches must be transformed. We must each and every one of us REPENT and return to the Almighty God of the Holy Bible, and reclaim the individual rights of our Constitutions, and Declaration of Independence. We must be transformed into real Americans. Many wrongly (fatally) think that they are Christians because they were born in America. Our precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said we must be Born Again or we cannot enter His Kingdom. So Repentance and Transformation is the order of the day. Or we will continue to slide into the darkness; the presence of evil is evident in every aspect of our society; and so very sadly in most churches. Government, with the Churches silence- no opposition- is approval! We are now and have witnessed "Rogue" government agencies unlawfully performing domestic violence, padlocking, stealing, and burning churches, confiscating parsonages and property of the Lord's House. Way back in the year of 1933 the President of these United States of America tried his very best to tax churches! So very fortunate for the churches of the Living God, the Congress of these United States of America were almost without exception opposed to "Taxing God". This sadly is not true today where we tax Holy Bibles without even a blink of the eye!!!!!! We witness the so called church opposing the true believer that is standing for the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We even see the church of the Most High, Holy, and Righteous God under the headship a government agency. Since the time of Ancient Israel, it has never been lawful to impose toll (taxes), tribute (social security), custom (tax exemption in place of tax free) on the ministers of the untaxable House of God: "ALSO WE CERTIFY YOU, THAT TOUCHING ANY OF THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES, SINGERS, PORTERS, NETHINIMS OR MINISTERS OF THIS HOUSE OF GOD, IT SHALL NOT BE LAWFUL TO IMPOSE TOLL, TRIBUTE, OR CUSTOM, UPON THEM." Ezra 7: 24. Hands completely off of the House of Almighty God Jehovah and His ministers!!! Well folks, so very sad is the fact that by the year of our Lord 1951 the Congress of these United States of America unlawfully- anything that usurps any right is un-Constitutional and therefore un-enforceable-decided to impose a "voluntary" tax on the Most High God, His churches, and His ministers!!!! Fifty years after the failed attempt to Tax Almighty God and His House it has become mandatory. Mandatory Compliance is the byword of Despotism and Tyranny. "Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants." William Penn the founder of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. LAW OF THE LAND: "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The Constitution of these United States of America is the law of the land, and any statute to be valid must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid. This is succinctly stated as follows. ALL LAWS WHICH ARE REPUGANT TO THE CONSTITUTION ARE NULL AND VOID." Maybury vs. Madison 5 US(eCranc) 137, 174, 176, (1803). The chairman of the Finance Committee way back in 1983 invited church leaders to attend hearings to determine their thoughts and feelings concerning the Lord's church paying tribute and custom to the government. Dr. Greg Dixon whose church, school, college, and parsonage were illegally seized -yes were stolen- by "Rogue" agencies of government federal, state, and yes local. Dr. Dixon remembers quite clearly a coordinator of the staff initially addressing the group of preachers present with the question: "What compromises concerning church taxation have you brought?" The stunned clergy that were present remained so very silent. But, praise the Lord, Dr. Dixon rose and courageously said: "WE HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER IN COMPROMISE." Dr. Dixon knew way back then that the power to tax is the power to destroy. Government control in any manner is to deny the sovereignty of the Lord's churches. The church must not nor can it finance the government through taxation, nor is the government to finance the churches through "Tax Exemption", which is a privilege not a right. A privilege can be taken away, a right is inalienable. Churches that are under the supreme and only authority of Almighty God are not, nor can they be represented in government, so therefore by right are un-taxable-tax free. This preacher along with others is on social security. But the church of the Living God as already stated is not to finance government, neither is the government to finance the church. So the church must have nothing to do with state or federal Tax Identification Numbers, and must never produce revenue for the government by paying taxes to help assure the solvency of the Social Security Trust Funds (which have been misappropriated-stolen by government for other purposes). The church of the Living God is an organism, and not an organization, nor does the church have employers and employees) are not open and answerable to the government, to inspection or dictates of the state!!!! Churches therefore cannot be required to be agents of the state by collecting, confiscating, and remitting to the state money that has already been taxed and freely given to the Most High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God through tithes and offerings of God's children. Ministers of Almighty God are not employees, and churches cannot be servants of the state by keeping records for the state. We are just witnessing the coming persecution of the true believer, because the State church is established when the door is open to any control by government. The churches of the Most High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God cannot be incorporated!!! The churches of the Living God cannot have EIN (employee identification number)!!! Endless impositions: "GOD IS SOVEREIGN; HE CANNOT BE TAXED. Well folks, the day has arrived, it is way after midnight, and so very sad is the undeniable fact that the churches of the Living God have led the way to perdition, proudly displaying the National Banner over and above the Cross of the Banner of Jesus Christ: this includes every true member of the church that goes along to get along with evil government. All government without Almighty God is absolutely and totally evil. Way back in the early 1970's a well known Evangelist predicted: "I predict that the final oppression of Christianity will start with taxation of independent churches, and missionary associations, thereby casting a shadow upon their integrity and raising doubts in the minds of their contributors. THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAUL MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL INTO COURT ON ALLEGED TAX IRREGULARITIES AND CHALLENGE MINISTERIAL AUTHORITY OF INDEPENDENT MINISTERS- EVENTUALLY THE MINISTERS OF ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. The government will get rid of independent ministers, churches and associations and a State church will be set up." Folks, it cannot be denied that we are facing this very situation in our former God Blessed Christian Constitutional Republic that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His apostles faced: Jesus and His apostles were declared to be against the government, and we are well aware of the results. History is repeating itself!!! The true Holy Bible believing, living, and practicing Christian who is living a Holy and Consecrated life is declared to be practicing hate, is indeed a terrorist and enemy of the state, subject to confiscation(stealing by government), imprisonment, and quiet ultimately death itself at the hands of the Satanically controlled government and "Church"! Our blessed nation was founded on the pure and undefiled religion of the Holy Bible. Biblical Christianity was the core of our Christian Constitutional Republic. We must once again transform these United States of America as founder John Adams stated: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people." Founding Father our first President and General of the Armies said that "Government was a fearful master, and a dangerous servant" and that national morality cannot prevail IN EXCLUSION OF RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE." James Madison the founding father of our Constitution wrote: "We have staked the whole future of American civilization...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments." Our pledge to the flag "The Republic for which it stands"; and according to my grandson it is not the Battle Hymn of the Democracy, but the Battle Hymn of the Republic. We must transform ourselves by returning to the tried and true old paths. This transformation must start in the church of the Living God. "...Be strong and of good courage, and do it; fear not, nor be dismayed; for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord." I Chronicles 28: 20. If we the believers fail to repent and transform ourselves to righteousness through Jesus Christ our prayers cannot even be heard. (IF) -the true believe must understand this word-my people(the children of the Most High God), which are called by my name(Christian), shall humble themselves(each and everyone in sack cloth and ashes), and pray(with a repented heart), and seek my face(forsaking our will, and seek only God's will), and turn from their wicked ways(the whole church must transform to repentance-if we fail to do so-Almighty God will not hear our prayers-and will send a strong delusion to believe a lie); then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin(the churches), and will HEAL THEIR LAND(These United States of America)." II Chronicles 7: 14. America must without fail transform: Because we have for the most part forgotten the Most, High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost) Which Art In Heaven, we are experiencing “WICKED WEATHER” AND ENDLESS WAR heightened by TERRORISM. ONLY THE PRINCE OF PEACE CAN BRING ABOUT PEACE!!!!!!! “THE WICKED SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL AND {ALL} NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD” Psalm 9: 17. National {REPENTENCE} must be the order of the day. No other way: our Precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is absolutely the only way!!!!!! Which Banner is the highest Flying Banner. Chaplain Thomas Gilbert Cole

'Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups'
A Little Gun History Lesson
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to
1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves,
were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5
million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 194 5,
a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend
themselves were rounded up and exterminated
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,
100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979,
300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
------------------------------

one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too! While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australia n society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. All news in this country is "coached" by government thru influence-peddling to AVOID telling you things you SHOULD know.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
The purpose for guns other than food, is: (1) to protect your property (2) to protect you and others from injury and (3) to protect your common law unalienable rights. [These go FAR beyond Constitutional Rights and are a gift from the creator.] The history of government is one of usurpation of people into slavery. For anyone who doesn't believe this then go back and examine the Declaration of Independence and understand that "the People" declared themselves INDEPENDENT of government. [Never to be told again by government that they are NOT to have the means to insure their freedom.] When you have no weapon, your slavery is guaranteed by government it's just a matter of time.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! When only government has guns, they will force "law for government" [aka statutory law"] upon you --when ironically it's really meant to control them. With guns, the People declare the independence of their separate lawfulness only common with people.
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.
With Guns....... .. ....We Are 'Citizens'.
Without Them........ We Are 'Subjects'.
When there was NO INCOME tax was when EVERYONE understood EVERYONE had a right to a weapon ..coincidence?
Gun Owners and Tax Deniers defined the freest and most prosperous time in the history of the world. Never forget this heritage.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
During WWII the Nazi's decided not to invade Switzerland for each Swiss common man was a trained sharp-shooter with a gun. Hitler
used the German word for "porcupine" to describe how his troops would suffer.
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attach to the
U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his
reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends!
AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!
First, I wish to thank everyone for all that you have done to aid our country in its time of greatest need since the Revolution itself.
Following is a conservative action plan that I first developed in 2009. It was rejected by all of the tea party leaders that I could find at that time as too drastic. Perhaps it is, but it could be incredibly effective. The bottom line is that since the beginning of time, power = control of resources.
This nasty nation, the USA, created a new paradigm enshrining private property where individuals control their own resources, producing untold prosperity to the point where our poorest people now have a standard of living that would be the envy of kings of yore. In fact, it has a built-in method of wealth redistribution that until recently prevented a handful of people getting control of most of the resources.
At present, the single largest pool of money is the private retirement accounts of the baby boomers, totaling around $17 trillion. I am sure this is the next target of the government. Prior to the Obama administration, the pool of wealthiest people in the nation was very fluid, with most people only staying there briefly. We saw that our greatest financial successes, from the infamous robber barons to today’s wealthiest, eventually tire of making money, and promote themselves to positions of philanthropy.
From the Carnegies and Mellons to today’s Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, they reach the pinnacle of power and CHOOSE to redistribute their wealth. That is the end result of unleashing the liberty of self interest, people get tired of “themselves” and seek deliberately to aid others. There has never been a more benevolent system of economics in history. It is only opposed by those who cannot create and crave control over others' resources. This conflict dates to the dawn of history. Our free market system defeats that conflict, and therefore, must be destroyed by those who thrive on conflict.
Since 1776, the Royalists and their descendants have been trying to put the genie of liberty back in the bottle. The only reason that “social” issues have any relevance at all is that they are used to cajole us out of our resources. That’s it, power mongers don’t care about health care, the environment, children, gay people, religion, God or gun crime; they only care about getting their grubby hands on our accumulated wealth. They use all of the social issues and often create social issues to use as emotional levers to expand their control, not to improve our lives.
The only hammer we have to control our out-of-control government is our cumulative wealth. It is the only tool we have refused to use to date. For the past 3 years, conservatives have spent untold dollars and hours in a futile effort to get our government to respond to our demands. We tried the election method, only to be subverted by a combination of a deceitful media and election fraud. I am presenting this very simple and very doable action plan because I hope you will take it seriously and help to promote it.
Another aspect of conservative activism that we have been ignoring is that we don’t have the manpower to reach all of our possible voters. We have fewer foot soldiers because most of us have jobs, families and commitments to churches and civic groups. Liberals don’t have most of that, or don’t invest much time and energy in them. Additionally, approximately 40% of the population self-identifies as conservative – we have twice as many people to contact door-to-door. It’s a logistical nightmare, and as we saw in 2012, it didn’t work. The reason my proposed plan can work is because it is a 2-stage spending freeze program for individuals. They don’t have to do anything, they just have to not do something. It is a very passive protest not requiring any particular time or energy. But it directly targets government revenues to the degree that we can disseminate this program.
We want the government to stop spending. They won’t. The obvious solution is to give them an object lesson in “not spending”. The following action plan focuses on a short term plan to bring this government to its knees and submit to our demands, then a long term plan to restore our Constitution to actual use, not just rhetoric. If it shocks you too much after first reading, please save it, mull it over and read it again in a week or so. It’s really incredibly simple and would be 100% effective if we can get it promoted broadly. If we can get it to enough people through back-channels, it can work:
One of the major premises of a representative republic is that collectively, we are wiser than competent statesmen. I believe that is correct and look forward to hearing from all of you as I believe this plan can be improved.
CONSERVATIVE ACTION PLAN
To
Restore the Republic
Since I first drafted this Conservative Action Plan in 2009, we have seen our nation deteriorate on many levels. It appears that our government is on the verge of yet another destabilizing spending binge. In the past 3 years I have yet to see a bold plan that will enable us to rein in our government to constitutional limits. In the absence of a successful plan of action, I am proposing this Conservative Action Plan again.
We the People of the United States of America hereby demand our nation and our government back. We demand all egregious spending, including the Stimulus Package, Omnibus Spending bill and the Budget be rescinded immediately. All socialist legislation, including Health Care Reform, Cap and Trade and any other wealth redistribution legislation must be rescinded immediately. All restrictions to energy exploration and development must be revoked.
As an object lesson for our government, We the People, are about to embark on an object lesson in how to "not spend money".
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
We have concluded that our government no longer represents us. After calls and letters to the government were between 100 to 1 against the TARP program and all subsequent spending, Congress passed all of that legislation in open defiance of the American people. Indeed, our government has demonstrated such contempt for us, for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that we have difficulty recognizing it as a government of the United States of America.
These actions constitute gross betrayal and abuse of our trust and shall not stand.
Emergency Demands
1. Repeal the Stimulus Package.
2. Repeal the Omnibus Spending Bill
3. Recall the Budget, eliminate all unnecessary spending and pork and resubmit for a vote
4. Rescind health care reform
5. Reject Cap and Trade legislation
6. Revoke all restrictions to domestic energy exploration, development and production
7. Engage in immediate and serious reform of all entitlement spending to relegate most safety net
activities to private charities where they belong.
Phase 1 Protest
1. Weekly 24-hour spending freezes on Mondays beginning immediately
2. When the media can no longer ignore the spending freezes and begins to report on it, Phase 1 is
complete.
During Phase 1, no one will reduce spending, and may increase it while stocking up on non-perishable consumables. Businesses can participate in and support this freeze by not transacting business on Mondays. Retailers can close on Mondays, or stay open with a skeleton crew for emergencies. They can also prepare for the long-term spending freeze by saving cash to sustain their businesses during that period or supplement their services and products to include consumable necessities.
Phase 2 Protest
Halt the 24-hour spending freezes and engage in a long-term discretionary spending freeze. During this long-term freeze we will refrain from making any purchases or investments which are not absolutely necessary to hold our jobs and feed our children.
This spending freeze will continue until all of the above terms are met.
While engaging in the spending freeze, we will further research and debate the following initial recommendation for a long term strategy to fully restore our republic and self government:
STRATEGY TO RESTORE THE REPUBLIC
1. Restructure the House of Representatives to equal either the 1 Representative per 30,000 citizens as
stated in the Constitution, or at a level at which citizens can successfully run for House seats.
1. Split all Congressional districts during each succeeding census, increasing the number of
Representatives until the target ratio is met. (Recommend 1 representative for every 100,000
citizens as I believe modern technology can support such a ratio.)
2. As the House becomes better populated, more and more Representatives can reside in their
districts most of the year and participate in debates and votes electronically from their home
offices.
3. Offices in Washington, D. C. can be shared and rotate to allow all Representatives some time in
Washington, and most of their time in their home offices where they are available to their
constituents.
2. Repeal the 17th Amendment allowing general elections to select State Senators. Restore to the State
Legislatures the right of selecting the Senators to hold office in the Federal Senate as this
amendment has diminished the sovereignty of the States.
3. Repeal the 16th Amendment allowing the Federal government to tax income. This will reduce federal
revenues by about 50%.
4. Dismantle all Federal agencies, bureaus and departments not specifically authorized by the
Constitution, delegating those deemed necessary to the States.
Where desired by the States, they can assume authority over those federal bureaus, departments and
agencies as are hosted within state borders and continue their operation at the individual state
discretion.
SUPPORTING LOGIC
Recipe for Tyranny
In 1911 the number of Representatives in the House was limited to 435. Two years later, the 16th Amendment granted the Federal Government the right to tax “income” (though the exact definition of “income” remains in some dispute).
These two events created two corresponding statistics, one going up and one going down, that have reached critical mass in their relationship.
The two statistics are:
1. Per capita representation in Congress which is going down. At present, with a population of over
306,000,000 and approximately 435 members of the House of Representatives, we have
Representative for every 703,000 people. When the Constitution was written, it stated “The Number
of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least
one Representative;”
2. Federal revenues from income tax are going steadily up. The liberal desire to “spread the wealth” may
have some merit. We currently have, by one revenue chart, as much as 40% of the GDP of our entire
nation under the incontestable and un-monitored control of 535 people who are more answerable to
campaign contributors and lobbyists than to their constituents.
This is a recipe for tyranny. Whether it results in an oligarchy that engages in socialism, communism or any other ism is immaterial. Losing our right to control our individual and national destiny is a problem that warrants some attention, even some action.
The Citizen Statesman and Self-Government
The purpose of the lower house, the House of Representatives, is to ensure self government by the Citizens of the United States of America. The House was to be composed of citizen statesmen, not professional or career politicians. The term is only for 2 years for multiple reasons, to prevent too long of an interruption in the citizen statesman’s career, and also to prevent complacency and self indulgence to take root.
This body of citizen statesmen is the only arm of the government empowered to introduce new legislation to raise revenues. Yet, our President repeatedly demanded such of them, and they have complied against the will of the people they represent.
The upper house, the Senate was to be composed of longer term, career statesmen who can provide balance and guidance to the members of the House. Neither the executive branch nor the judicial branch is empowered to introduce new legislation, only Congress. And that lower house was to be composed, not of politicians, but of citizens.
With each Representative representing a constituency of over 700,000, it is no longer possible for a common citizen to communicate effectively with enough of these people to acquire a majority of votes. Only the independently wealthy are able to run for office. People who need to work fulltime jobs are prohibited by logistics from office. This is the greatest tragedy and the single greatest reason for the deterioration of our republic to an oligarchy. We must, reduce the ratio of citizens to representatives to a level which will enable an average working citizen to campaign and fund-raise on a part-time basis and be able to win. If it means enlarging the House of Representatives to a full 10,000 members, to the level of 30,000 citizens per representative, then so be it.
Summary
The Constitution of the United States of America was so designed that all laws are to originate with the people, via Congress, not the government. It was designed to prevent the tyranny of an elite minority over the majority, to prevent a cabal from seizing the reins of government. Yet, over the past century, this is exactly what has transpired. Per our Declaration of Independence, it is not only our prerogative to take action, but our duty.
This proposal is submitted to the people of the United States of America for consideration, debate, and comment. It is a starting point; please feel free to add comments and refinements to help us Restore the Republic.

" Be your OWN Superhero!"
President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.
According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he'll now make $231,900 per year.
Members of Congress, from the House and Senate, also will receive a little bump, as their annual salary will go from $174,000 to 174,900. Leadership in Congress, including the speaker of the House, will likewise get an increase.
Here's the list of new wages, as attached to President Obama's executive order:
"A new executive order has been issued providing for a new pay schedule beginning 'on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning after March 27, 2013,'" reports FedSmith.com. "The pay raise will generally be about 1/2 of 1%."
Jeryl Bier points to an example of the pay increase for average government executives:
"Not much of an increase, but an increase all the same," Bier notes.
And the timing isn't great either: Just as President Obama and Congress try to avert going over the "fiscal cliff," he doles out pay increases to federal workers.
You could not guess why I sit all alone with yellow bird. An answer came with this year’s Christmas present, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth—Founding Father Thomas Jefferson’s creation for his own use, now an item of which Smithsonian Institute is selling copies. They went to a lot trouble to get Jefferson’s homemade Bible copied. Jefferson pasted together the Gospels, leaving out all the supernatural, which was questionable, said Jefferson. Jefferson was deist. He believed in God on the evidence of reason and nature, with rejection of supernatural revelation. The supernatural has become natural, to a large extent. The universe is nothing life we thought it was—“we” being as small minority.
The first thing I noted was how Jefferson’s Bible begins. “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that the world should be taxed.” Why did Jefferson start with Luke, Chapter 2? I start with the visit of the Magi, Persian astrologers, the “the wise men,” who predicted the birth of Christ and followed the Star of Bethlehem to his birthplace, In Matthew, Chapter 2. To Jefferson, obviously, that was supernatural—of questionable importance. This was not a Christian nation in the beginning. It was Christians against enigmatic Jefferson.
I noted how Jefferson’s Bible ended. “There laid Jesus and they rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.” There was not a second coming. Obviously, that was considered by Jefferson to be supernatural—therefore, of questionable importance.
In Luke 21, Chapter 25, said Jesus, “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon earth distress in nations.” He goes on to say that he would return. He did not say in what form. In reference to the sun, moon, and stars—and signs—Jesus did say that the kingdom of God would be at hand, in his return. I noted that Jefferson skips this idea and begins with Luke 21:34. Obviously, Jefferson considered Jesus’ second coming supernatural, and astrology as well. I don’t hear Christians talking about signs in the sun, moon, and stars. I’m looked upon as an occultist, a wizard, or a satin worshiper, or into witchcraft; at any rate, a nonconformist nutcake. People ask me why I want to be a rock in the stream.
Jesus taught that we are our brother’s keeper. We read in Astrologer’s Handbook, under Aquarius, about Jesus’ second coming—with regard to signs in the sun moon, and stars, “and upon earth distress of nations.” The sign of brotherhood and fraternity, the symbol being the water-bearer, “who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy,” is this supernatural? The cutting edge of science does not think so, nor did the ancients. The rock in the stream is the majority of the America people, afraid of change.
We are now at the end of the Age of Pisces, say astrologers, in Pisces death throes, so to speak. In Astrologer’s Handbook, under Pisces, we read this: “Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors.” Really! It does not sound supernatural to me, not with what’s going on in the world. It sounds right on target.
Then we’ve got Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose of Driven Church, one of America’s most popular spiritual authorities. He poses a very big problem to yellow bird and me. We also see a big problem with Jefferson’s Bible.
Jesus distinguishes the kingdom of God from the kingdom of heaven, which Pastor Warren does not. The kingdom of God comes not with outward show, but is chiefly inward and spiritual (Romans 14:17).
We are unaware that we are all created with the same assets—like drops in the ocean. You cannot separate that which we are from our source, a boundless state. But Pastor Rick says God is in heaven. Jesus said, “in earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10)….But seek ye first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33). In Luke 17:20, when religious authorities demanded of Jesus that he tell them when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say Lo here! Or, lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Why do religious authorities insist on placing God way out there in heaven—a place? That’s a big, big error, Pastor.
Pastor Warren leaves us confused. He says he repeats to himself every day: “I am not God.” He equates the feeling that God is within us—how I feel—as the ego in us. To think that I’m a God-self is being egocentric, maintains Pastor Warren. Jesus said that God was not in heaven; that God was internal. Pastor Warren’s trinity of man, mind, and God—in unity with nature, said Jefferson—“all ‘things’ being aspects of the mind,” said quantum physicist and brain doctor Evan Harris Walker—we’ve got these convenient divisions—“but now we see more of the underlying structure, of the engine that drives our struggling souls,” says Walker. So what’s the truth? All of my dreams came true. Can you say that? I look within for my answers.
The authorities may force a manmade state of mind—block us from our deepest self—even threaten us, but what happens? Sooner or later, we begin again to build back what we tore down.
As for now, “yellow bird, you sit all alone with me.”
American sisters and brothers, as 2012 closes, let's resolve to use the Constitution's amendment process as a model for personal improvement.

Obama administration failed to respond to dozens of secession petitions
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
December 27, 2012
http://www.infowars.com/white-house-set-to-ignore-piers-morgan-petition/

Given the fact that the Obama administration has failed to respond to dozens of petitions advocating states secede from the union, it seems almost inevitable that the White House will also ignore the petition to deport Piers Morgan for his rhetorical assault on the constitutional rights of American citizens.
The petition to deport Morgan for his call to disarm Americans in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, originated by Infowars, has garnered viral media attention and a total of over 80,000 signatures, well beyond the 25,000 threshold that mandates a White House response within 30 days.
However, a brief investigation into which petitions the Obama administration has actually responded to confirms that the White House merely cherry picks those it wishes to address and completely ignores others, violating its own rules.
For example, the petition for Texas to secede from the union reached the threshold to warrant a comment from the administration on November 12 but has still not been addressed 45 days later. Dozens of similar petitions from other states also passed the threshold but have been ignored, despite the total number of signatures for all states equaling well over a million.
In contrast, petitions calling on Obama to enact gun control measures in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, only three of which totaled over 25,000 signatures, were addressed within days.
Other petitions that have received relatively few signatures, such as one calling to digitize federal records, have also been responded to despite getting nowhere near the 25,000 signature benchmark.
In October last year, the White House responded to a petition entitled, “Actually take these petitions seriously instead of just using them as an excuse to pretend you are listening,” with a post by ‘Special Assistant to the President’ Macon Phillips which asserted, “We’re listening. Seriously.”
However, the failure to respond to the overwhelmingly popular secession issue, while responding to others almost immediately, proves that the White House is merely abusing the ‘We The People’ process to bolster its own policy agenda while sidelining any issue that asks genuine questions of the Obama administration.
The administration is using delphi technique manipulation to hoodwink Americans into thinking they are an engaged part of the political discourse when in reality the whole petition process is a fraud because the White House only responds to what it wants to and ignores the questions that the majority of the American people want addressed.
The ‘We the People’ section of the White House website is billed as “your voice in our government,” and has been cited as another example of the government’s drive for “transparency,” yet it has been proven to be nothing more than just another public relations mouthpiece for the Obama administration to promote its own pre-planned political agenda.
Despite the likelihood that the White House will ignore the petition, it is still important because significant media coverage of the controversy has drawn people’s attention to the fact that foreigners are now openly lecturing the American people about their own rights. The petition has also been a key exercise in using the first amendment to defend the second amendment and a reminder that Americans will not tolerate any attempt to eviscerate the right to keep and bear arms.

http://www.infowars.com/dhs-insider-breaks-down-obamas-short-term-agenda/
After a lengthy, self-imposed informational black-out, my high-level DHS contact known as “Rosebud” emerged with new, non-public information about plans being discussed and prepared for implementation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the near future. It is important to note that this black-out was directly related to the aggressive federal initiative of identifying and prosecuting “leakers,” at least those leaks and leakers not sanctioned by the executive office – the latter of which there are many.
Due to those circumstances, my source exercised an abundance of caution to avoid compromising a valuable line of communication until he had information he felt was significant enough to risk external contact. The following information is the result of an in-person contact between this author and “Rosebud” within the last 48 hours. With his permission, the interview was digitally recorded and the relevant portions of the contact are provided in a conversational format for easier reading. The original recording was copied onto multiple discs and are maintained in secure locations for historical and insurance purposes.
Meeting
The following began after an exchange of pleasantries and other unrelated discussion:
DH: Do I have your permission to record this conversation?
RB: You do.
DH: I’ve received a lot of e-mail from people wondering where you went and why you’ve been so quiet.
RB: As I told you earlier, things are very dicey. Weird things began to happen before the election and have continued since. Odd things, a clampdown of sorts. I started looking and I found [REDACTED AT THE REQUEST OF THIS SOURCE], and that shook me up. I’m not the only one, though, that found a [REDACTED], so this means there’s surveillance of people within DHS by DHS. So, that explains this cloak and dagger stuff for this meeting.
DH: I understand. What about the others?
RB: They are handling it the same way.
DH: I’ve received many e-mails asking if you are the same person giving information to Ulsterman. Are you?
RB: No, but I think I know at least one of his insiders.
DH: Care to elaborate?
RB: Sorry, no.
DH: Do you trust him or her. I mean, the Ulsterman source?
RB: Yes.
DH: Okay, so last August, you said things were “going hot.” I printed what you said, and things did not seem to happen as you said.
RB: You’d better recheck your notes and compare [them] with some of the events leading up to the election. I think you’ll find that a full blown campaign of deception took place to make certain Obama got back into office. The polls, the media, and a few incidents that happened in the two months before the election. I guess if people are looking for some big event they can point to and say “aha” for verification, well then I overestimated people’s ability to tell when they are being lied to.
DH: What specific incidents are you referring to?
RB: Look at the threats to Obama. Start there. The accusations of racism. Then look at the polls, and especially the judicial decisions about voter ID laws. Bought and paid for, or where there was any potential for problems, the judges got the message, loud and clear. Then look at the voter fraud. And not a peep from the Republicans. Nothing. His second term was a done deal in September. This was planned. Frankly, the Obama team knew they had it sewn up long before election day. Benghazi could have derailed them, but the fix was in there, so I never saw anything on my end to suggest a ready-made solution had to be implemented.
DH: What’s going on now?
RB: People better pay close attention over the next few months. First, there won’t be any meaningful deal about the fiscal crisis. This is planned, I mean, the lack of deal is planned. In fact, it’ necessary to pave the way for what is in the short term agenda.
DH: Wait, you’re DHS – not some Wall Street insider.
RB: So you think they are separate agendas? That’s funny. The coming collapse of the U.S. dollar is a done deal. It’s been in the works for years – decades, and this is one of the most important cataclysmic events that DHS is preparing for. I almost think that DHS was created for that purpose alone, to fight Americans, not protect them, right here in America. But that’s not the only reason. There’s the gun issue too.
DH: So, what are you seeing at DHS?
RB: We don’t have a lot of time, tonight – our meeting – as well as a country. I mean I have heard – with my own ears – plans being made that originate from the White House that involve the hierarchy of DHS. You gotta know how DHS works at the highest of levels. It’s Jarrett and Napolitano, with Jarrett organizing all of the plans and approaches. She’s the one in charge, at least from my point of view, from what I am seeing. Obama knows that’s going on and has say, but it seems that Jarrett has the final say, not the other way around. It’s [screwed] up. This really went into high gear since the election.
But it’s a train wreck at mid management, but is more effective at the lower levels. A lot of police departments are being gifted with federal funds with strings attached. That money is flowing out to municipal police departments faster than it can be counted. They are using this money to buy tanks, well, not real tanks, but you know what I mean. DHS is turning the police into soldiers.
By the way, there has been a lot of communication recently between Napolitano and Pistole [TSA head]. They are planning to use TSA agents in tandem with local police for certain operations that are being planned right now. This is so [deleted] important that you cannot even begin to imagine. If you get nothing else out of this, please, please make sure you tell people to watch the TSA and their increasing involvement against the American public. They are the stooges who will be the ones to carry out certain plans when the dollar collapses and the gun confiscation begins.
DH: Whoa, wait a minute. You just said a mouthful. What’s the agenda here?
RB: Your intelligence insider – he knows that we are facing a planned economic collapse. You wrote about this in your articles about Benghazi, or at least that’s what I got out of the later articles. So why the surprise?
DH: There’s a lot here. Let’s take it step by step if you don’t mind.
RB: Okay, but I’m not going to give it to you in baby steps. Big boy steps. This is what I am hearing. Life for the average American is going to change significantly, and not the change people expect. First, DHS is preparing to work with police departments and the TSA to respond to civil uprisings that will happen when there is a financial panic. And there will be one, maybe as early as this spring, when the dollar won’t get you a gumball. I’m not sure what the catalyst will be, but I’ve heard rumblings about a derivatives crisis as well as an oil embargo. I don’t know, that’s not my department. But something is going to happen to collapse the dollar, which has been in the works since the 1990′s. Now if it does not happen as soon as this, it’s because there are people, real patriots, who are working to prevent this, so it’s a fluid dynamic. But that doesn’t change the preparations.
And the preparations are these: DHS is prepositioning assets in strategic areas near urban centers all across the country. Storage depots. Armories. And even detainment facilities, known as FEMA camps. FEMA does not even know that the facilities are earmarked for detainment by executive orders, at least not in the traditional sense they were intended. By the way, people drive by some of these armories everyday without even giving them a second look. Commercial and business real estate across the country are being bought up or leased for storage purposes. Very low profile.
Anyway, I am hearing that the plan from on high is to let the chaos play out for a while, making ordinary citizens beg for troops to be deployed to restore order. but it’s all organized to make them appear as good guys. That’s when the real head knocking will take place. We’re talking travel restrictions, which should no be a problem because gas will be rationed or unavailable. The TSA will be in charge of travel, or at least be a big part of it. They will be commissioned, upgraded from their current status.
They, I mean Jarrett and Obama as well as a few others in government, are working to create a perfect storm too. This is being timed to coincide with new gun laws.
DH: New federal gun laws?
RB: Yes. Count on the criminalization to possess just about every gun you can think of. Not only restrictions, but actual criminalization of possessing a banned firearm. I heard this directly from the highest of my sources. Plans were made in the 90′s but were withheld. Now, it’s a new day, a new time, and they are riding the wave of emotion from Sandy Hook., which, by the way and as tragic as it was, well, it stinks to high heaven. I mean there are many things wrong there, and first reports are fast disappearing. The narrative is being changed. Look, there is something wrong with Sandy Hook, but if you write it, you’ll be called a kook or worse.
DH: Sure
RB: But Sandy Hook, there’s something very wrong there. But I am hearing that won’t be the final straw. There will be another if they think it’s necessary.
DH: Another shooting?
RB: Yes.
DH: That would mean they are at least complicit.
RB: Well, that’s one way of looking at it.
DH: Are they? Were they?
RB: Do your own research. Nothing I say, short of bringing you photographs and documents will convince anyone, and even then, it’s like [DELETED] in the wind.
DH: So…
RB: So what I’m telling you is that DHS, the TSA and certain, but not all, law enforcement agencies are going to be elbow deep in riot control in response to an economic incident. At the same time or close to it, gun confiscation will start. It will start on a voluntary basis using federal registration forms, then an amnesty, then the kicking-in of doors start.
Before or at the same time, you know all the talk of lists, you know, the red and blue lists that everyone made fun of? Well they exist, although I don’t know about their colors. But there are lists of political dissidents maintained by DHS. Names are coordinated with the executive branch, but you know what? They did not start with Obama. They’ve been around in one form or another for years. The difference though is that today, they are much more organized. And I’ll tell you that the vocal opponents of the politics of the global elite, the bankers, and the opponents of anything standing in their way, well, they are on the top of the list of people to be handled.
DH: Handled?
RB: As the situations worsen, some might be given a chance to stop their vocal opposition. Some will, others won’t. I suppose they are on different lists. Others won’t have that chance. By that time, though, it will be chaos and people will be in full defensive mode. They will be hungry, real hunger like we’ve never experienced before. They will use our hunger as leverage. They will use medical care as leverage.
DH: Will this happen all at once?
RB: They hope to make it happen at the same time. Big cities first, with sections being set apart from the rest of the country. Then the rural areas. There are two different plans for geographical considerations. But it will all come together.
End of Part I
Today’s depressing chart is brought to you by the Senate Budget Committee Republican staff under Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.):
Yep. As the chart clearly illustrates, total welfare spending in the U.S. (if converted into cash payments) equals approximately “$168 per day for every household in poverty,” higher than the $137 median income per-day.
From the senator’s office:
… spending on federal welfare benefits, if converted into cash payments, equals enough to provide $30.60 per hour, 40 hours per week, to each household living below poverty. The median household hourly wage is $25.03. After accounting for federal taxes, the median hourly wage drops to between $21.50 and $23.45, depending on a household’s deductions and filing status. State and local taxes further reduce the median household’s hourly earnings. By contrast, welfare benefits are not taxed.
The universe of means-tested welfare spending refers to programs that provide low-income assistance in the form of direct or indirect financial support—such as food stamps, free housing, child care, etc.—and which the recipient does not pay into (in contrast to Medicare or Social Security). For fiscal year 2011, CRS identified roughly 80 overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs that together represented the single largest budget item in 2011—more than the nation spends on Social Security, Medicare, or national defense. The total amount spent on these federal programs, when taken together with approximately $280 billion in state contributions, amounted to roughly $1 trillion. Nearly 95 percent of these costs come from four categories of spending: medical assistance, cash assistance, food assistance, and social/housing assistance. Under the President’s FY13 budget proposal, means-tested spending would increase an additional 30 percent over the next four years.
The diffuse and overlapping nature of federal welfare spending has led to some confusion regarding the scope and nature of benefits. For instance, Newark Mayor Cory Booker has recently received a great deal of attention for adopting the “food stamp diet” in which he spends only $4 a day on food (the average individual benefit in his state) to apparently illustrate the insufficiency of food stamp spending ($80 billion a year) or the impossibility of reductions. The situation Booker presents, however, is not accurate: a low-income individual on food stamps may qualify for $25,000 in various forms of welfare support from the federal government on top of his or her existing income and resources—including access to 15 different food assistance programs. Further, even if one unrealistically assumes that no other welfare benefits are available, the size of the food stamp benefit increases as one’s income decreases, as the benefit is designed as a supplement to existing resources; it is explicitly not intended to be the sole source of funds for purchasing food.

Government officials and citizens in Australia speak out to warn America “Don’t Let Them Take Your Guns!” According to reports when the Gun Ban went into effect in Australia the crime rate spiraled out of control. The police officers are overwhelmed and are unable to protect the citizens due to so much crime.
When the forced gun ban (buy back program) went into effect law abiding citizens had to turn in their semi automatic firearms, pump action rifles, and shotguns or face going to jail. Six hundred forty thousand conventional firearms were taken out of the hands of law abiding citizens, confiscated and destroyed. Law abiding citizens followed the law and turned in their weapons. Citizens were promised safety in return for turning in their guns. Does any of this sound familiar, like UN Gun Treaty perhaps?
Since the gun ban in Australia, armed robberies are up 69%, assaults with guns up 28%, gun murders increased 19%, and home invasions jumped 21%. More proof that not only does gun control not work, it makes it safer for the criminals at large. In their words
“The cost of lost liberty can be measured in the loss of life”
Andy Dunn from the South Australian Police Association states “The bad guys are happy to break into somebody’s house. They are not frightened to break into somebody’s house while their at home.” He also states “It is very bad right now. It has never been worse.” The police can’t protect the civilians now, because they are undermanned and their morale has never been lower according to reports.
Wake up America! To those Anti-gun activists, you need to realize this is going to affect you also. Wake up before it is too late. Will the United States listen to the warning Australia is sending us? Will it make a difference? I truly hope so. I would like to thank the Australians for taking the time to warn us about the effects of gun-control in their country. Although many of us know what affect gun control has on our nation, many do not and have been fooled by the smooth talking politicians. Others seem to be in the mind set that it doesn’t affect them. Without our right to bear arms, our right to protect ourselves, our family, and our home will be gone. Thus allowing the Constitution to be destroyed by politicians for the sake of their agenda.
Massive act of censorship sees alternative media pages disappeared
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
December 27, 2012
Facebook is purging accounts that carry pro-second amendment and pro-liberty information in a censorship purge that has accelerated over the past few hours, with innumerable pages being disappeared merely for posting legitimate political content.
NaturalNews.com’s Mike Adams contacted us to alert us to the fact that “Facebook banned our account for posting this,” with an attached image of a Gandhi quote about how the British disarmed the citizenry during their rule in India.
The following is a list of Facebook accounts operated by individuals in the alternative media that have been shut down by Facebook staff over the past 24 hours. Infowars writer Aaron Dykes and political dissident Brandon J. Raub have also had their accounts deleted. Raub was snatched by police and forcibly imprisoned in a psychiatric ward earlier this year for posting political content on Facebook. Infowars editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended this morning.
Kurt Nimmo (account suspended)
Aaron Dykes (account inactive)
Amber Lyon (account suspended)
Brandon J. Raub (account inactive)
Michael F Rivero (account inactive)
Anthony J Hilder (account inactive)
William Lewis (account inactive)
Richard Gage (account inactive)

Peter Dale Scott (account inactive)
Jason Infowars (account inactive)
Mike Skuthan (account inactive)
Packy Savvenas (account inactive)
Sean Wright (account inactive)
Katherine Albrect (account inactive)
It is important to stress that most of these accounts have not simply been temporarily suspended, they have been shut down completely. Some are now being reinstated after complaints. Accounts that have been suspended can still be seen but posting rights have been revoked.
A 24 hour suspension was also placed on the Alex Jones Facebook account due to an image that another user had posted in which Alex Jones was tagged.
One of the messages being received by users having their accounts suspended is displayed below. In most cases, users are not even being informed of why their page was suspended or deleted, with Facebook merely referring them to the company’s guidelines.
Last week, we reported on how Facebook was suspending user accounts that questioned the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre.
As we have previously highlighted, Facebook occasionally deletes images and posts that it claims violate “Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” yet constitute little more than political conjecture or a healthy skepticism of official narratives on current events.
In September 2011, Infowars reporter Darrin McBreen was told by Facebook staff not to voice his political opinion on the social networking website.
Responding to comments McBreen had made about off-grid preppers being treated as criminals, the “Facebook Team” wrote, “Be careful making about making political statements on facebook,” adding, “Facebook is about building relationships not a platform for your political viewpoint. Don’t antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of what you are preaching.”

David Gregory attempts to embarrass NRA leader by holding up
high-capacity magazine clip on Meet the Press
Just how important was it for David Gregory, NBC Meet the Press anchor to break a gun law to embarrass NRA on Sunday’s show? It was not enough for Gregory to continue to badger NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre, into submitting to points that a New Assault Weapon Ban would work when the expired ban had not. According to the Washington Post, Wednesday, December 26th, an official investigation has been launched by the D.C. attorney general’s office.
The NBC anchor had to go the extra mile to challenge Wayne LaPierre, with a high magazine clip, knowing full well that it was against the law in Washington D.C. to be in possession of such a clip. So, was it right for Gregory, a longtime Washington journalist, to break the law, when he knew that the Washington D.C. police had denied the display of the gun clip on the air when it was requested? Should Gregory be fined, suspended or fired for going too far in breaking the law in his attempt to neuter the Second Amendment rights of American law abiding citizens?
There is a serious problem that is emerging in the nation when journalists like NBC’s Gregory can decide that they are above the laws which mere mortals in the heartland of the nation must obey.
Was it not enough to bring up points of disagreement with the NRA as it attempted to do, and were summarily dismissed with great professional skill as LaPierre, displayed? When the arguments that the Meet the Press anchor was trying to skewer the NRA were easily deflected, Gregory appeared to become more combative. His continued being more insistent, and even attacking and vilifying the NRA official for not agreeing with the gun control Washington democrats, and headline writers from around the nation.
Instead, LaPierre, calmly and firmly stated his and the concerns of millions of parents around the nation that wanted to see their children arrive and leave safely from their schools. The Meet the Press anchor kept insisting that the NRA leader was wrong, wrong, wrong!
Gregory, appeared visibly shaken by the steadiness of the NRA leader and seemed to decide at that moment that he needed to play the ace, which the police had already said he could not. Gregory picked the high-capacity magazine and held it up.

Why Replace Kwanzaa & Black History Month? just posted by Tribble News

Cap Black. The Hood Conservative
Before Socialism Stops The U.S.!

Barack Obama, who has stayed in continuous campaign mode since birth, persists in insisting House Republicans submit to his demands to hike tax rates on “the rich.” If Republicans do note cede to his decrees, Obama will let everyone’s tax rates go up and cut one trillion dollars from the budget, half of which will come from defense spending.
If he were truly interested in solving America’s fiscal troubles, this would not be his position.
Most definitely not…
Obama carries on with his nonstop campaign-style appearances, claiming that higher tax rates will reduce the U.S. deficit and cut the national debt.
That is categorically complete, total, absolute, utter fantasy.
The amount collected by the IRS from Obama’s long lusted for tax hikes would fund U.S. federal spending for fewer than nine days.
For members of the self-imagined, self-appointed “progressive” intellectual elite: That is less than two weeks.
At current spending levels the U.S. federal government borrows forty six cents of every dollar it spends. Despite the fact that 2013 has not yet begun, through the first two months of fiscal year 2013 the U.S. is already approximately $300 billion in debt.
The biggest drivers of U.S. deficit spending are Medicare, Social Security, “safety net” programs and interest on the debt. The looming short and long term costs of Obamacare have yet to fully reveal themselves, but given the U.S. federal government’s track record one can safely predict that it will be far more than what taxpayers were told and will rape their wallets for billions every year.
In other words, under the White House’s current “progressive” policies, it is only going to get worse, not better.
The Oval Office occupier and his “progressive” Party Pravda press secretaries willfully ignore and refuse to mention that under the current tax rates, revenues are up by thirty billion dollars over last year.
Obama keeps claiming that raising tax rates on America’s highest earners, those who already pay forty percent of the revenue to the IRS, will be the silver bullet that solves America’s financial woes. He continues blaming today’s deficits on his predecessor.
During his time in office, George W. Bush’s highest deficit was $438 billion. Obama’s government has posted a $1 trillion plus deficit for four straight years. 2013 will make five. America’s fiscal gloom and the looming “fiscal cliff” “crisis” are the result of “progressive” spending on wasteful big government socialist programs.
That is the reason. Any other claim is pure unadulterated political snake oil.
