If True-What’s shocking about this picture?-You Decide:
Posted on SHTF.com-By Mac Slavo, SHTFplan.com-On December 7, 2011:
“For the better part of two decades FEMA detention camps were believed to be a figment of tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists. As more information over the years has been made available through alternative news researchers like Alex Jones in his full length documentary Police State 4 and former governor Jesse Venutra’s FEMA camp exposé, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government has been taking steps for quite some time to ensure a rapid and effective response in the event of a national disaster or U.S. military deployment on American soil.
As many of our readers know, the U.S. Senate recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which, it has been argued, authorizes the establishment of domestic war zones and the subsequent detention of those who are suspected of engaging in terrorist-related activity - including, arguably, U.S. citizens. What you may not know, however, is that just days after the passage of the act reports are surfacing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, is requisitioning private contractors to provide services for government, defense & infrastructure pertaining specifically to FEMA activities with respect to emergency services.
At first glance, this may seem like no big deal. Why shouldn’t the government prepare for emergencies?
However, a review of an email made available through Info Wars from Kellogg, Brown & Root Services (KBR), a subsidiary of mega government contractor Haliburton, notes that the contracting opportunities available through the government and KBR are specifically for “temporary camp services and facilities.”
Key Excerpts from the email and Project Overview:
- Kellogg, Brown and Root Services (KBR) is seeking subscontractors on a national basis to provide temporary camp services and facilities as part of its current and future emergency services contracts for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and state/local government agencies.
- The continental US will be broken up into five regions – Services will be required in each State within each region.
- Establish services listed below within 72 hours for initial set-up and respond within 24 hours for incremental services. This is a CONTINGENCY PROJECT and it should be stressed that lead times will be short with critical requirements due to the nature of emergency responses. Subcontractors must be flexible and able to handle multiple, shifting priorities in an emergency environment. Supply lines needed must be short but not necessarily pre-positioned.
- The personnel on site to be covered by these services will depend on the size and scope of the recovery effort, but for estimating purposes the camp will range in size from 301 to 2,000 persons for up to 30 days in length.
The full RFI from KBR is available for your perusal via SHTFplan and details, among other things, the host of services that are required for temporary camp facilities:
- Catering Services
- Temporary Fencing and Barricades
- Hand Washing Stations
- Laundry Services
- Medical Services
- Office Trailers / Administration Areas
- Potable Water
- Power Generation, Fuel Delivery / Supply and Electrical Distribution
- Refuse Collection
- Shower and Toilet
- Tentage, Flooring, Electrical & HVAC
- Waste Water Removal
For all intents and purposes, FEMA/DHS is now activating camps across the nation – in all 50 states – and ramping them up for detainment if and when the need arises.
Security, while not mentioned in the KBR release, is an issue addressed previously under guidance of the U.S. military. In an August 2009 report we highlighted that the Army is Hiring for Internment/Resettlement Specialists, in which we noted:
It seems that the US Government is preparing for a high volume of military prisoners. We suspect these will not be foreign nationals, as we either kill them or detain them outside of the USA. So, one must conclude that these corrections, interment and resettlement specialists will be supervising US citizens. The military is calling them internment camps or resettlement camps. Back in World War II they were called by a different name.
Additionally, we have learned over the last couple of years that FEMA has requisitioned manufacturers for 140 Million Packets of Food, Blankets, and Body Bags, while the U.S. military is Actively War Gaming ‘Large Scale Economic Breakdown’ and ‘Civil Unrest’ which includes training for over 20,000 US military personnel for contingencies that may include riots and/or mass detentions.
While mainstream media will not report this, and most of the population will either ignore it or chalk it off as being once again blown out of proportion by the alternative news sphere, the evidence is right in front of us – it is overwhelming and very compelling.
Our government is, without a doubt, preparing for an event(s) that will likely result in the mass detentions of tens of thousands of individuals across the entire United States.”

“BUT WILL THE LAW BE UPHELD?
Dear Editor: The following letter was sent to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp:
December 8, 2011
Secretary of State Kemp, by certified mail:
Georgia O.C.G.A. Elections Title 21, Chapter 2 specifies the procedure for qualifying candidates. O.C.G.A. 21-2-5© specifies that “The Secretary of State shall determine if the candidate is qualified . . .” My FOIA request for the certification of Barack Obama for our Georgia primary went unanswered. Your lack of response implies that you have nothing, which makes it quite clear that Barack Obama was not qualified before placement on the Georgia ballot. enc. 5, 5a
Therefore you must remove Obama from the ballot until you can find that he has acceptable qualifications. enc. 4a However, I ask that you consider the following information in your deliberations. It is information that clearly shows Obama cannot be qualified for the position of President of the united States. You will conclude that Obama cannot be returned to the ballot. To return Obama to the ballot would be additional misconduct on your part. This is not a request or question for judicial hearing but rather a statement of your misconduct and request for redress by correction of your misconduct. The law in Title 21 is clear!
The Minor v. Happersett SCOTUS opinion by Chief Justice Waite clearly states that natural born citizens are created by citizen parents (plural) as shown in enc. 1, attached.
The U. S. Congress affirmed this with eight failed attempts at changing the provision of Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution by legislative order and/or amendment in enc. 2 and; finally settled on S. Res 511, co-sponsored by then Senator Barack Obama, which re-affirmed Minor by stating that natural born citizens came from American citizens (plural), enc. 3. Schneider affirms that Amendment 14 does not pertain to the mandates of Art. II, Sec. 1. enc. 3a. A rebuttal to the most recent iteration of Haskell’s CRS memo is included as enc. 3b. Presidential candidates must be born of united States citizens (plural).
FactCheck, an arm of the liberal movement has confirmed that Obama’s reputed father was a British/Kenya citizen. Obama’s FightTheSmears website concurs with FactCheck that his father was a foreign national, enc. 4. Obama was not born of U. S. citizen parents (plural).
The DNC did not vet Obama as required by O.C.G.A. 21-2-5 (a), therefore you must first remove Obama from our ballot as not being certified and then review the data in my enclosures 1-4, which prove Obama is not qualified to be on our ballot for president. This is your responsibility according to OCGA 21-2-5 (c). You will see from the data in the attached enclosures that you then must not return Obama to our ballot. See enc. 4a for the definition of your responsibilities, as defined by your predecessor in 2008. The law of Title 21 is clear. It will be additional misconduct on your part to allow an unqualified candidate to appear on the ballot.
The following excerpts have been made from the Georgia Codes for your reference. They all have similar meaning and intent; that being: you have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, there are very real penalties for not doing so.
Title § 1-3-6 – When laws become obligatory; effect of ignorance After they take effect, the laws of this state are obligatory upon all the inhabitants thereof. Ignorance of the law excuses no one
Title § 45-3-15 – Loyalty oath — Proceeding for false swearing when oath violated O.C.G.A. 45-3-15 (2010) 45-3-15. Loyalty oath — Proceeding for false swearing when oath violated If any person required to do so by Code Sections 45-3-11 through 45-3-14 and this Code section executes a loyalty oath and subsequently it is proved that said individual has violated the oath, then the governing authority shall institute proceedings in the proper court against such person for false swearing.
Title § 45-10-1 – Establishment and text of code of ethics for government service generally Any person in government service should: I. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above loyalty to persons, party, or government department. II. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and the State of Georgia and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion. IX. Expose corruption wherever discovered.
Title § 16-14-3 – Definitions (8) “Pattern of racketeering activity” means: (A) Engaging in at least two acts of racketeering activity in furtherance of one or more incidents, schemes, or transactions that have the same or similar intents, results, accomplices, victims, or methods of commission or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated incidents, provided at least one of such acts occurred after July 1, 1980, and that the last of such acts occurred within four years, excluding any periods of imprisonment, after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity; or (9)(A) “Racketeering activity” means to commit, to attempt to commit, or to solicit, coerce, or intimidate another person to commit any crime which is chargeable by indictment under the following laws of this state: (xv) Article 4 of Chapter 10 of this title and Code Sections 16-10-20, 16-10-23, and 16-10-91, relating to perjury and other falsifications;

I. Liberty Legal Foundation keeps argument simple on eligibility!
Posted on Sonoran News-By Linda Bentley, December 7, 2011:
“PHOENIX – The Arizona 2012 Project hosted special guests during its Monday evening meeting, which drew attendees from across the state.
Chairman Ron Ludders introduced constitutional Attorney Van Irion of the Liberty Legal Foundation (LLF) and Republican presidential candidate John Dummett (pronounced Dumay), the lead plaintiff in a class action complaint filed against the National Democratic Party, challenging president Barack Obama’s eligibility.
Irion said they have filed an action in Tennessee state court as well as the class action complaint and motion for preliminary injunction filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona.
He said the Tennessee complaint should serve as a model for complaints for all 50 states, as funding becomes available.
Quoting Thomas Paine, Irion said, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
He went on to say, “Our founding fathers gave us the Constitution because they knew government was evil.”
Irion briefly touched on the LLF Obamacare class action suit, which also took a different approach than other lawsuits that have primarily challenged the individual mandate.
He said the case challenges a 1942 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Wickard v. Filburn that recognized the authority of the federal government to regulate economic activity.
Interpreting the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause under Article 1, Section 8, which permits Congress “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, AND WITH THE Indian tribes,” the Supreme Court decided Filburn’s wheat growing activities, by growing additional wheat for his farm’s chicken feed, reduced the amount of wheat he would buy on the open market and, since wheat was traded nationally, Filburn’s production of wheat in excess of the amount he was allotted to grow affected interstate commerce, and thus could be regulated by the federal government.
Irion said the Wickard decision has morph into the federal government regulating inactivity, as in Obamacare.
He said, “Our lawsuit says Wickard is wrong and should be overturned. It’s about saving the country at this point.”
Irion has taken a completely different approach to the eligibility issue and rather than naming Obama and other elected officials as defendants, who can claim immunity and draw from what appears to be a bottomless pit of resources, the LLF has sued the Democratic Party, a private entity unable to claim immunity.
He said all the other Obama eligibility cases have fallen to procedural issues – thrown out because the person bringing the case has no standing.
“We’re certainly interested in all the issues,” said Irion, adding, “But who cares how you interpret the Constitution if you can’t enforce the Constitution.”
While several lawsuits have tried to sue the secretaries of state, Irion said, “They don’t have the authority.” He also said Arizonans can thank Governor Jan Brewer for that, referring to the legislation she vetoed that would have granted such authority.
The LLF lawsuit cites the 1875 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Minor v. Happersett, in which the court defined “natural-born citizens” as “all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens.”
The LLF’s motion for preliminary injunction states, “Because it is undisputed that Mr. Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen, Mr. Obama can never be a natural-born citizen, as that term was defined by the U.S. Supreme Court. Therefore Mr. Obama cannot meet the constitutional requirements to hold the office of President.”
According to Irion, any representation by the Democratic Party that Obama is constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President would constitute “negligent misrepresentation or fraud.”
The motion, Irion says, relies upon “uncontested facts and a Supreme Court-defined term.”
The complaint seeks to enjoin the defendants from issuing any letters, certificates or other documents to any secretary of state of any state indicating Obama is qualified to hold the office of President, selecting Obama as its presidential candidate, or requesting Obama be placed on any ballot for the office of President of the United States for the 2012 general election.
Dummett told the audience, although “there’s no difference between the parties anymore,” he considers himself a “Barry Goldwater Republican.” He said his goal is to enforce the Constitution and return the power to the states and to the people. “We can take it back,” said Dummett, referring to our country, “We outnumber them.”
Irion said anyone interested in joining the class action lawsuits may do so by visiting LibertyLegalFoundation.org.
Irion called the Constitution an “anti-democratic document,” stating, “Principles do not fall to popularity.”
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio arrived toward the end of the meeting to a standing ovation.
Referring to the Obama investigation, he told the audience, “The posse – They’re doing pretty good on this case. Something fishy is going on. Where there’s smoke there’s fire.”
Arpaio said the investigation was progressing and stated, “I’ve got a gut feeling there’s a little cover-up … We’re not out to hang anybody. I’m just doing my job.”
Noting MCSO may be the only law enforcement agency in the country looking into the issue Arpaio said even the Republicans don’t like what he’s doing. He asked, “Why wouldn’t they want to get to the bottom of this?”
While he’s doing the investigation at the behest of the people of Maricopa County, Arpaio said, “If it affects the whole nation, that’s not my fault. I think people deserve to know the real story. Maybe there’s nothing to it. But, I don’t know. It doesn’t look good.”
Although MCSO doesn’t have subpoena power in Hawaii, he mentioned the Nordyke twins, born the day after Obama at the same hospital, have birth certificates produced from microfilm and said he wants to see Obama’s birth certificate on the same microfilm. He said, “I think we’re going to have enough to show there’s something to it.”
Arpaio said, “I’m not doing this for politics,” and joked, “I can get elected with pink underwear. I’m doing it because it’s the right thing to do.”
He stated what the posse was doing was interesting and said, “My guys are pretty good. Forget the birth certificate. We’re looking at other things. We’re going to do something – I promise you,” and said their investigation “will not disappoint.”
Alluding Obama could conceivably be an illegal alien, which he said was “not that far off,” Arpaio chided the mainstream media for ignoring the issue and said, “I know what I’ll do; I’ll get on Twitter tomorrow and Facebook.”

What’s disturbing about this picture?
Posted on Oath Keepers-On December 8, 2011:
“Oath Keepers has learned that federal agents recently visited a Later Day Saints (Mormon) Church food storage cannery in Tennessee, demanding customer lists, wanting to know the identity of Americans who are purchasing food storage from the Mormons.
This incident was confirmed, in person, by Oath Keepers Tennessee Chapter President, Rand Cardwell. Here is Rand’s report:
“A fellow veteran contacted me concerning a new and disturbing development. He had been utilizing a Mormon cannery near his home to purchase bulk food supplies. The man that manages the facility related to him that federal agents had visited the facility and demanded a list of individuals that had been purchasing bulk food. The manager informed the agents that the facility kept no such records and that all transactions were conducted on a cash-and-carry basis. The agents pressed for any record of personal checks, credit card transactions, etc., but the manager could provide no such record. The agents appeared to become very agitated and after several minutes of questioning finally left with no information. I contacted the manager and personally confirmed this information.
This event points to a new level of federal government encroachment on the basic freedoms of the American people. Likewise, it points to a confused policy within federal agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in their “Are You Ready?” guide to “In Depth Citizen Preparedness” recommends that citizens store emergency supplies, including bulk food, in the event of a natural disaster or man-made event (the new politically correct term applied to a terrorist attack). The FEMA guidance is spot-on as it allows individuals and families to be self-sufficient during an emergency situation.
And here in Tennessee, we just learned that Nashville Metro Public Health and the Tennessee Department of Health are conducting “door-to-door assessment of disaster preparedness … using a tool designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to go door to door and check to see how disaster ready you are. .. in 30 neighborhoods in Davidson County [TN] that have been randomly selected to be the target of a door to door assessment.” I have confirmed that that is a state run effort.
So on the one hand, government agencies both state and federal are urging you to be prepared and even checking up on you to see how prepared you are, and on the other hand, we now have federal agencies that are attempting to gather information on individuals that are following FEMA suggestions. What is the reasoning behind gathering this information? Are American citizens now being “listed” by DHS if they are simply following FEMA guidance and purchasing bulk food and emergency supplies for their families? It appears as so.
This should be a red flag to all Americans. Not unlike the “trip wires” identified in the Oath Keepers list of orders that will not be obeyed, this incident should be considered as further evidence that our federal government is out of control. What business is it of the government if any of us purchase and store bulk food? Answer: It is none of their damn business! Maybe during the next Katrina-type event federal agents will storm your home to take your food stores along with your firearms. We can only theorize as to the motives of the government for this type of “list” being developed, but it goes against the very fabric of what a free people should allow by our government.” – Rand Cardwell.
Additional comments by Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers:
As Rand noted, it was fortunate that this particular cannery does not keep records of its customers. And Rand is correct that this is a very serious red flag. There’s a very good reason why one of the top ten orders that active duty Oath Keepers will refuse to obey is “We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.” As our Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey goes on to state:
“Deprivation of food has long been a weapon of war and oppression, with millions intentionally starved to death by fascist and communist governments in the 20th Century alone.
Accordingly, we will not obey or facilitate orders to confiscate food and other essential supplies from the people, and we will consider all those who issue or carry out such orders to be the enemies of the people.”
If those who carry out such orders to confiscate food are enemies of the people, then that same label also fits anyone in the government compiling lists of Americans who store food. There is no legitimate reason for the Department of Homeland Security to compile such lists. Al Qaida suicide bombers are not known to store powdered milk and buckets of wheat. Nor are they known to store away dehydrated carrots and instant potatoes, or fruit punch mix for the kids. But the Mormons are known to do so, and so are many other Americans who have the common sense and maturity to take personal responsibility for ensuring that their families will have food, come what may.
It is part of Mormon Church religious doctrine to store food for hard times and emergencies, with a recommendation that each family store a year’s worth of basic dry goods along with three months worth of store-bought canned and boxed foods. To facilitate that practice, the Mormon Church runs its own food storage canneries selling powdered milk, wheat, flour, rice and beans, sugar, salt, and various other dry goods either in bulk 50 lb bags or in #10 cans for long term food storage (up to 30 years for some items). These Church canneries also often sell food storage items to non-church members, seeing it as both morally right and prudent to help their neighbors store food, whatever their faith. The cannery in Tennessee that was “visited” by federal agents follows that practice of helping the general public become better prepared.
So why do federal agents want to know who is storing away long-term food storage? We suspect it is for the following reasons:
1. DHS/FEMA wants to know which Americans have food storage so the federal government can at some future point confiscate that food. Just as with lists of gun owners, compiling such lists is the first step toward future confiscation.
2. DHS wants to identify those Americans who are “switched on” and squared away enough to actually store food for coming hard times (such as during an economic collapse). That population of awake, aware, and prepared Americans poses a “threat” to whatever DHS and its masters have in store for the American people, and as Joseph Stalin so ably demonstrated, one of the easiest ways to subjugate defiant people is to confiscate their food and starve them into submission.
The federal government already tipped their hand by sending the FBI to military surplus stores (as we reported), gun stores, and pawn shops to encourage those businesses to spy on their customers who buy MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat), bipods, “night flashlights”, high capacity magazines, rifle bipods, and bulk ammo. Maybe some of you fooled yourselves into thinking there might be some legitimate reason for them to track purchases of such items. But powdered milk and wheat berries? Those are hardly items that could be used in a terrorist attack. It must be the storage of food itself that the feds now find so offensive and so “dangerous.”
And while the door-to-door preparedness assessments in Tennessee appears to be well intended (and we spoke with a friendly state preparedness officer who said it was motivated by the recent natural disasters in Tennessee), Americans are well justified in being concerned about such efforts and how that information may be used in the future, in light of these other well documented and confirmed incidents of federal law enforcement collecting information on those who purchase preparedness items and indicating that the purchases of those items may be “indicators of terrorist activity.”
If you are one of the many Americans who still have on rose-colored glasses, or who still have your head buried in the sand (or stuck somewhere else warm and dark), it is time to pull your head out and face the reality of what the federal government is telling you by the actions of its agents. Those actions show both what they fear and their intent. What they fear are prepared, equipped, and “switched on” Americans, and their intent is to identify who they are, where they are, and then plan on dealing with them when the time comes. And rest assured that time will come. The recent U.S. Senate passage of S. 1867, which authorizes military detention and trial of U.S, citizens under the international laws of war (as if we were conquered Iraq or Afghanistan) is also an expression of their intent, and their contempt for the Bill of Rights.
Clearly, in light of the above, if you purchase food storage, along with any other preparedness items, you should be concerned about those purchases being tracked and your name winding up on some government list. But don’t let that stop you from storing food and other essential supplies, and don’t let this disturbing incident keep you from using your local Mormon cannery to do so. You need to get prepared. But do it while following the advice of James Wesley, Rawles over at www.survivalblog.com, who repeatedly urges his readers to “think OPSEC!” – if at all possible, buy with cash and pick it up in person, just like the customers of this particular cannery did, which left the “agitated” agents empty handed and frustrated. Good. That is as it should be. Don’t make it easy on them. And if you have not yet begun to store food, now is certainly a good time to start. You’re going to need it.

Dear Fellow Patriots:
What follows is a letter that I recently forwarded to news outlets around the country regarding the Congressional Insider Stock Market Trading and Agenda 21 (Land Grab Movement) issues:
“December 8, 2011
Dear Investigative News Reporters:
I would like share the following letters that I recently forwarded to my NM U.S. Senator Tom Udall and Congressman Martin Heinrich, along with numerous other news outlets here at home and around the country, regarding the following extremely disturbing issues:
1. The supposedly legal insider stock market trading by some of our elected officials in Congress that occurred in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash, which may have contributed to the crash and seems to be an ongoing practice to this date. What I find disturbing about this practice by our elected officials is that it ultimately enriched them and their families while millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes and life savings; and
2. Agenda 21, which is an ongoing land grab movement by certain hedge managers and other elites, to include some members of Congress. What I find disturbing about this issue is that this ongoing movement by our elected members of Congress, along with other hedge fund managers and elites requires Americans to give up their individual freedoms, personal property and redistribute their wealth.
These disturbing issues are excellent examples of crony-capitalism by officials that unsuspecting Americans elect to serve them in Congress. I also believe that these practices are not only extremely disturbing, but they are literally destroying our Capitalist system in our country, which seems to be the ultimate goal by some traitors within our own government or country.
I am also outraged that American’s across the country are not out in the streets protesting these repulsive actions by our elected officials, hedge fund managers and other elites. I also wonder why the “Occupy Wall Street” protestors were not protesting some of their own Congressmen that are still taking part in these repulsive practices, along with Wall Street, big corporations and banks-You Decide:
“December 7, 2011
The Honorable Tom Udall
United States Senate
110 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-3101
Congressman Martin Heinrich
Capitol Office
336 Cannon HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Phone: (202) 225-6316
Fax: (202) 225-4975
Dear Senator Udall/Congressman Heinrich:
I am writing to inform you that I have become extremely concerned about the supposedly legal, but questionable insider stock market trading by some of our elected officials in Congress, which occurred in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash and seem to continue to this date.
The reasons for my concerns are as follows:
On or about March 5, 2011, there was an article published by Nancy Morgan, a columnist and news editor, that revealed that after two full years following the 2008 economic crash a Pentagon contractor had finally issued a report on the series of events that led to the crash. The report suggested that financial subversion was carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, which contributed to the crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system and that “there was sufficient justification to question whether outside forces triggered, capitalized upon or magnified the economic difficulties of 2008.”
What follows are pertinent excerpts from this article:
“Notable for its absence is any suggestion that the economic events that arguably catapulted Obama into the White House may have originated in our own political system.
Consider: The economic house of cards started tumbling on June 26, 2008, when Senator Chuck Schumer leaked a memo questioning the solvency of IndyMac bank. This memo precipitated a run on IndyMac, which led to its failure. Federal regulators pointedly cited U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., in explaining the bank's failure.
"The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS and the FDIC from Senator Charles Schumer of New York."
As I wrote in February of 2009, this event, coupled with the Lehman Brothers collapse in September, marked the beginning of the current economic meltdown and provided the environment that enabled Barack Obama to focus on the economy instead of his position on Iraq - and, not incidentally, resulted in his election as President.
For the last two years, the media has neglected to connect the dots regarding the strange gyrations in our financial markets that started in the summer of 2008. After Schumer caused the run on IndyMac in June, the government moved in:
July 12, 2008: The federal government takes control of the $32 billion IndyMac Bank. *
* Six months later, Jan 2, 2009, a seven-member group of investors agreed to buy the remnants of failed lender IndyMac for $13.9 billion. Other investors included a fund controlled by billionaire George Soros' Fund Management.
Sept. 6, 2008: Fannie Mae begins its downward spiral, which will end with a crash in November. This crash was avoidable, as the problems with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were identified in June of 2006, when 15 Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee introduced legislation to address the problem. Democrats, led by Barney Frank, killed the reform efforts.
Sept. 15, 2008: Obama and McCain are virtually tied in their race for the presidency. Out of no-where, in the space of less than 2 hours, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the U.S. to the tune of $550 billion. Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania said that if authorities had not closed the banks, $5.5 trillion would have been withdrawn from US banks, which would have caused the collapse of the US within 24 hours.
This seminal event marked the ascendancy of Obama's candidacy, and arguably resulted in his election as president.
Fast forward to February of 2009:
The markets reacted to Obama's proposal to bail-out mortgages and Senator Christopher Dodd's talk of nationalizing banks by reaching 11-year lows.
Obama continues to stoke the fears of imminent crisis, actually using the word 'crisis' a total of 26 times in one speech.
Enter George Soros. The infamous one-worlder, billionaire George Soros adds his voice to the media doomsayers by opining that the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of near-term resolution to the crisis.*
The series of 'inadvertent errors', deliberate obstruction, political shenanigans, behind the scenes manipulation of the money markets and non-stop calls for immediate infusions of taxpayer cash brought the U.S. to its knees by February 2009. And continues to this day.
The newly issued Pentagon report, along with the media and our elected officials, seem intent on not connecting the dots, considering only foreign enemies as the possible cause of the financial meltdown:
Suspects include financial enemies in Middle Eastern states, Islamic terrorists, hostile members of the Chinese military, or government and organized crime groups in Russia, Venezuela or Iran. Chinese military officials.
This author believes there is enough information to at least consider that this crisis was manufactured for political gain. Right here at home.”

Was the Economic Crisis Manufactured?-Posted on American Thinker-By Nancy Morgan-On March 5, 2011:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/03/was_the_economic_crisis_manufa.html
What crossed my mind when I initially read the above article was that it had to be another conspiracy theory because I couldn’t imagine that any individual and/or individuals within our own government would be that corrupt, unethical and heartless to either allow and/or do anything that would contribute to an economic crash that literally destroyed so many American’s lives, but much to my dismay, I discovered that it was no conspiracy theory when I read a CBS News Report that was published on November 13, 2011, along with viewing a CBS 60 Minutes broadcast that aired on November 14, 2011, that revealed that in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash some of our elected officials in Congress had made a variety of insider stock trades, which ultimately enriched them and their families while millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes and life savings.
What follows are pertinent excerpts from this CBS News report:
“The next national election is now less than a year away and congressmen and senators are expending much of their time and their energy raising the millions of dollars in campaign funds they’ll need just to hold onto a job that pays $174,000 a year.
Few of them are doing it for the salary and all of them will say they are doing it to serve the public. But there are other benefits: Power, prestige, and the opportunity to become a Washington insider with access to information and connections that no one else has, in an environment of privilege where rules that govern the rest of the country, don’t always apply to them….
Most former congressmen and senators manage to leave Washington - if they ever leave Washington - with more money in their pockets than they had when they arrived, and as you are about to see, the biggest challenge is often avoiding temptation.
Peter Schweizer: This is a venture opportunity. This is an opportunity to leverage your position in public service and use that position to enrich yourself, your friends, and your family.
Peter Schweizer is a fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford University. A year ago he began working on a book about soft corruption in Washington with a team of eight student researchers, who reviewed financial disclosure records. It became a jumping off point for our own story, and we have independently verified the material we’ve used.
Schweizer says he wanted to know why some congressmen and senators managed to accumulate significant wealth beyond their salaries, and proved particularly adept at buying and selling stocks.
Schweizer: There are all sorts of forms of honest grafts that congressmen engage in that allow them to become very, very wealthy. So it’s not illegal, but I think it’s highly unethical, I think it’s highly offensive, and wrong.
Steve Kroft: What do you mean honest graft?
Schweizer: For example insider trading on the stock market. If you are a member of Congress, those laws are deemed not to apply.
Kroft: So congressman get a pass on insider trading?
Schweizer: They do. The fact is, if you sit on a healthcare committee and you know that Medicare, for example, is—is considering not reimbursing for a certain drug that’s market moving information. And if you can trade stock on—off of that information and do so legally, that’s a great profit making opportunity. And that sort of behavior goes on.
Kroft: Why does Congress get a pass on this?
Schweizer: It’s really the way the rules have been defined. And the people who make the rules are the political class in Washington. And they’ve conveniently written them in such a way that they don’t apply to themselves.
The buying and selling of stock by corporate insiders who have access to non-public information that could affect the stock price can be a criminal offense, just ask hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam who recently got 11 years in prison for doing it. But, congressional lawmakers have no corporate responsibilities and have long been considered exempt from insider trading laws, even though they have daily access to non-public information and plenty of opportunities to trade on it.
Schweizer: We know that during the health care debate people were trading health care stocks. We know that during the financial crisis of 2008 they were getting out of the market before the rest of America really knew what was going on.
In mid September 2008 with the Dow Jones Industrial average still above ten thousand, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke were holding closed door briefings with congressional leaders, and privately warning them that a global financial meltdown could occur within a few days. One of those attending was Alabama Representative Spencer Bachus, then the ranking Republican member on the House Financial Services Committee and now its chairman.
Schweizer: These meetings were so sensitive—that they would actually confiscate cell phones and Blackberries going into those meetings. What we know is that those meetings were held one day and literally the next day Congressman Bachus would engage in buying stock options based on apocalyptic briefings he had the day before from the Fed chairman and treasury secretary. I mean, talk about a stock tip.
While Congressman Bachus was publicly trying to keep the economy from cratering, he was privately betting that it would, buying option funds that would go up in value if the market went down. He would make a variety of trades and profited at a time when most Americans were losing their shirts….”

I have to admit that I totally agree with Mr. Schweizer’s statement contained in the above CBS News report, which is that “it is unethical, highly offensive, and wrong for members of Congress to be able to legally use non-public insider information they obtain during their official duties to make well-timed stock market trades in the very industries that they regulate” and believe that those members that used the non-public insider information to make stock market trades in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash while millions of Americans lost their shirts and are still trading should be impeached or voted out of office and not be allowed to serve in public again.
Additionally, the following recent article and video revealed an ongoing land grab movement by members of both the Democratic and Republican party, along with other hedge fund managers, which will require Americans to give up their individual freedoms, personal property and redistribute their wealth. Also included are recent articles that revealed that Sheriffs around the country, to include here in New Mexico, are now rising up against this despicable movement:

I am outraged that American’s across the country are not out in the streets protesting these repulsive actions by our elected officials and hedge fund managers. I also wonder why the “Occupy Wall Street” protestors were not protesting some of their own Congressmen that are still taking part in the insider trading and land grab movement, along with Wall Street, big corporations and banks.
What I find just as deplorable, reprehensible and unforgiving is not only that these actions are contributing to the further destruction of so many American’s lives, but now, as a result of the failure of the Congressional defense-reduction super-committee to do their job, which I now see as another distracter, we will experience additional tax hikes for the middle class, along with cuts to the Defense budget, especially when we’re asking our military to do more, will not only send a “horrible message” to Americans here at home and abroad, but “our adversaries and our enemies all across the world.” And, if our President (Commander-In-Chief) is willing to put politics over the men and women that we have in uniform serving all over this country and world that were asked to stand on freedom’s ramparts and protect us so that we could enjoy a Merry Christmas, instead of looking at places within the executive branch where he can look at agencies, failed programs, and duplicative programs that could be put on the table for now, I believe the president is being misguided.
I hope and pray that you were not one of our elected officials that profited by making well-timed stock market insider trades during the economic events that led to the 2008 economic crash, along with the ongoing land grab movement and would urge you to consider sponsoring and/or supporting a bill that would prohibit members of Congress and staffers from using knowledge gained from their jobs to trade in securities and a bill that would put a stop to the land grab movement.
I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this extremely disturbing matter, along with the numerous other issues that I shared with you in my letter of November 23, 2011, which I believe are just as important and, if not immediately dealt with, they will continue to covertly erode our Constitutional Rights and/or Bill of Rights and ultimately destroy our state, country and our Republic, which seems to be the ultimate goal by some within our own government or country.
May you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Thank you again for your continued public service to this state and our country.

Personal Note From Me: Please be aware that I am not senile enough (YET) to believe that any of my NM Representatives will ever respond to my numerous letters regarding this or any other issues that I feel will eventually destroy this great country of ours as we know it, but that's not going to discourage or stop me from staying in their face, which I will do until the day I get called home by my beloved Creator who has graciously allowed me to survive two colon cancer surgeries to continue the fight so that my four sons, fourteen grandchildren and one recent great grandson can enjoy the great opportunities that I've enjoyed in my 65 years of life on this earth, which includes the opportunity to honorably serve this great country of ours as a Marine Mustang Officer for twenty years. I honestly couldn't live with myself if I did what so many other Americans seem to be doing at this crucial time when our Republic needs us more than ever, which is taking the easy road by sticking their heads in the sand hoping that it would all go away like a bad nightmarish dream-not going to happen!

I. ‘Legalized Bribery’: How Bad is Congressional Insider Trading?
Outrageous!!!
Posted on The Blaze-By Becket Adams-On December 6, 2011:
“How can we fix our country with this going on?” Glenn Beck asks Peter Schweizer.
“We can’t,” Schweizer responds, shaking his head. “And you know, Glenn, if we can’t fix this?”
“You can’t fix anything,” Beck says, finishing the sentence for him.
What are they discussing that’s so serious as to prohibit America from being fixed? Congressional insider trading.
In case you‘re unfamiliar with Washington’s most recent scandal, Peter Schweizer has written a bombshell book titled “Throw Them all Out” that carefully details multiple cases where members of Congress have made outrageous gains in the stock market by trading on information available only to them. Ordinarily, that’s called “insider trading” and it’s highly illegal. Yet, somehow, Congress is able to get away with it.
And it doesn’t end there. It seems that several people have been profiting from Washington’s insider information. As reported earlier on The Blaze:
Similar to some members of Congress, billionaire philanthropist and market speculator Warren Buffett has allegedly been using an “informational advantage” to make bets and investments on the market.
The man who once said, “Through the tax code, there has been class warfare waged, and my class has won,” might have been investing in the markets with information that only he and a select few had been given access [because of his government connections].
You think that’s bad? How about this:
. . . in July 2008, then-Treasury Secretary Paulson met with several hedge fund managers and told them that a government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was a very real possibility.
Why is this shocking? Consider the fact that just a week before informing hedge fund managers that the Fed would be moving in on Fannie and Freddie, Paulson testified before the U.S. Senate (as well as various media outlets) that government intervention in Fannie and Freddie was near “impossible.”
…the group of managers could have profited off the the information Paulson gave them…
What’s most disturbing–and frustrating–is that this been going on for some time and it’s all completely legal.
How?
“The rules for what can or cannot be disclosed by government officials are often either unclear or nonexistent,” writes Richard Teitelbaum of Bloomberg. Simply put, there’s no law against members of Congress engaging in the same behavior that put Martha Stewart behind bars.
Makes sense. Think about it: if you are a government official acting in a way that many would view as illegal, but is only legal because you “failed” to make a law against it, what are the voters going to do? Call a cop?
See Glenn Beck and Peter Schweizer reveal which members of Congress profited from insider information, how much they made, and how they did it via GBTV:

What’s disturbing about this picture?
Posted on Prison Planet-By Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet.com-On December 7, 2011:
“As we postulated when the scandal broke, the Fast and Furious program that saw the ATF deliver guns into the hands of Mexican drug gangs was admittedly exploited to demonize the second amendment and push new gun control regulations.
“Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.”
Emails obtained by the network show ATF agents discussing how they could tie guns involved in Mexican violence to gun dealers based in the U.S. to justify the implementation of Demand Letter 3, a regulation that would require U.S. gun stores to report the sale of multiple rifles.
One of the emails states, “Bill – can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks.”
The emails show ATF members congratulating each other for blaming border violence on guns bought from U.S. dealers despite the fact that the feds were the ones delivering them straight to Mexican criminals under the program.
Other emails document how gun dealers involved in the program expressed concern that their firearms were ending up in the hands of “the bady guys,” only to be reassured by the ATF “there’s nothing to worry about.”
One law enforcement source told CBS News that the emails suggested the ATF created the problem itself as part of a political ploy.
“It’s like ATF created or added to the problem so they could be the solution to it and pat themselves on the back. It’s a circular way of thinking,” the source said.”

Dear Fellow Patriots:
What follows is a letter that I recently forwarded to Congressman Allen West regarding the Congressional Insider Stock Market Trading and Agenda 21 (Land Grab Movement) issues:
“December 7, 2011
Dear Congressman West:
I again would like share the following letters that I recently forwarded to my NM U.S. Senator Tom Udall and Congressman Martin Heinrich regarding the supposedly legal insider stock market trading by some of our elected officials in Congress that occurred in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash that seems to be an ongoing practice to this date, along with Agenda 21, which is an ongoing land grab movement by certain hedge managers and other elites, to include some members of Congress.
December 7, 2011
The Honorable Tom Udall
United States Senate
110 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-3101
Congressman Martin Heinrich
Capitol Office
336 Cannon HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Phone: (202) 225-6316
Fax: (202) 225-4975
Dear Senator Udall/Congressman Heinrich:
I am writing to inform you that I have become extremely concerned about the supposedly legal, but questionable insider stock market trading by some of our elected officials in Congress, which occurred in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash and seem to continue to this date.
The reasons for my concerns are as follows:
On or about March 5, 2011, there was an article published by Nancy Morgan, a columnist and news editor, that revealed that after two full years following the 2008 economic crash a Pentagon contractor had finally issued a report on the series of events that led to the crash. The report suggested that financial subversion was carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, which contributed to the crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system and that “there was sufficient justification to question whether outside forces triggered, capitalized upon or magnified the economic difficulties of 2008.”
What follows are pertinent excerpts from this article:
“Notable for its absence is any suggestion that the economic events that arguably catapulted Obama into the White House may have originated in our own political system.
Consider: The economic house of cards started tumbling on June 26, 2008, when Senator Chuck Schumer leaked a memo questioning the solvency of IndyMac bank. This memo precipitated a run on IndyMac, which led to its failure. Federal regulators pointedly cited U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., in explaining the bank's failure.
"The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS and the FDIC from Senator Charles Schumer of New York."
As I wrote in February of 2009, this event, coupled with the Lehman Brothers collapse in September, marked the beginning of the current economic meltdown and provided the environment that enabled Barack Obama to focus on the economy instead of his position on Iraq - and, not incidentally, resulted in his election as President.
For the last two years, the media has neglected to connect the dots regarding the strange gyrations in our financial markets that started in the summer of 2008. After Schumer caused the run on IndyMac in June, the government moved in:
July 12, 2008: The federal government takes control of the $32 billion IndyMac Bank. *
* Six months later, Jan 2, 2009, a seven-member group of investors agreed to buy the remnants of failed lender IndyMac for $13.9 billion. Other investors included a fund controlled by billionaire George Soros' Fund Management.
Sept. 6, 2008: Fannie Mae begins its downward spiral, which will end with a crash in November. This crash was avoidable, as the problems with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were identified in June of 2006, when 15 Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee introduced legislation to address the problem. Democrats, led by Barney Frank, killed the reform efforts.
Sept. 15, 2008: Obama and McCain are virtually tied in their race for the presidency. Out of no-where, in the space of less than 2 hours, the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the U.S. to the tune of $550 billion. Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania said that if authorities had not closed the banks, $5.5 trillion would have been withdrawn from US banks, which would have caused the collapse of the US within 24 hours.
This seminal event marked the ascendancy of Obama's candidacy, and arguably resulted in his election as president.
Fast forward to February of 2009:
The markets reacted to Obama's proposal to bail-out mortgages and Senator Christopher Dodd's talk of nationalizing banks by reaching 11-year lows.
Obama continues to stoke the fears of imminent crisis, actually using the word 'crisis' a total of 26 times in one speech.
Enter George Soros. The infamous one-worlder, billionaire George Soros adds his voice to the media doomsayers by opining that the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of near-term resolution to the crisis.*
The series of 'inadvertent errors', deliberate obstruction, political shenanigans, behind the scenes manipulation of the money markets and non-stop calls for immediate infusions of taxpayer cash brought the U.S. to its knees by February 2009. And continues to this day.
The newly issued Pentagon report, along with the media and our elected officials, seem intent on not connecting the dots, considering only foreign enemies as the possible cause of the financial meltdown:
Suspects include financial enemies in Middle Eastern states, Islamic terrorists, hostile members of the Chinese military, or government and organized crime groups in Russia, Venezuela or Iran. Chinese military officials.
This author believes there is enough information to at least consider that this crisis was manufactured for political gain. Right here at home.”

Was the Economic Crisis Manufactured?-Posted on American Thinker-By Nancy Morgan-On March 5, 2011:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/03/was_the_economic_crisis_manufa.html
What crossed my mind when I initially read the above article was that it had to be another conspiracy theory because I couldn’t imagine that any individual and/or individuals within our own government would be that corrupt, unethical and heartless to either allow and/or do anything that would contribute to an economic crash that literally destroyed so many American’s lives, but much to my dismay, I discovered that it was no conspiracy theory when I read a CBS News Report that was published on November 13, 2011, along with viewing a CBS 60 Minutes broadcast that aired on November 14, 2011, that revealed that in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash some of our elected officials in Congress had made a variety of insider stock trades, which ultimately enriched them and their families while millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes and life savings.
What follows are pertinent excerpts from this CBS News report:
“The next national election is now less than a year away and congressmen and senators are expending much of their time and their energy raising the millions of dollars in campaign funds they’ll need just to hold onto a job that pays $174,000 a year.
Few of them are doing it for the salary and all of them will say they are doing it to serve the public. But there are other benefits: Power, prestige, and the opportunity to become a Washington insider with access to information and connections that no one else has, in an environment of privilege where rules that govern the rest of the country, don’t always apply to them….
Most former congressmen and senators manage to leave Washington - if they ever leave Washington - with more money in their pockets than they had when they arrived, and as you are about to see, the biggest challenge is often avoiding temptation.
Peter Schweizer: This is a venture opportunity. This is an opportunity to leverage your position in public service and use that position to enrich yourself, your friends, and your family.
Peter Schweizer is a fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford University. A year ago he began working on a book about soft corruption in Washington with a team of eight student researchers, who reviewed financial disclosure records. It became a jumping off point for our own story, and we have independently verified the material we’ve used.
Schweizer says he wanted to know why some congressmen and senators managed to accumulate significant wealth beyond their salaries, and proved particularly adept at buying and selling stocks.
Schweizer: There are all sorts of forms of honest grafts that congressmen engage in that allow them to become very, very wealthy. So it’s not illegal, but I think it’s highly unethical, I think it’s highly offensive, and wrong.
Steve Kroft: What do you mean honest graft?
Schweizer: For example insider trading on the stock market. If you are a member of Congress, those laws are deemed not to apply.
Kroft: So congressman get a pass on insider trading?
Schweizer: They do. The fact is, if you sit on a healthcare committee and you know that Medicare, for example, is—is considering not reimbursing for a certain drug that’s market moving information. And if you can trade stock on—off of that information and do so legally, that’s a great profit making opportunity. And that sort of behavior goes on.
Kroft: Why does Congress get a pass on this?
Schweizer: It’s really the way the rules have been defined. And the people who make the rules are the political class in Washington. And they’ve conveniently written them in such a way that they don’t apply to themselves.
The buying and selling of stock by corporate insiders who have access to non-public information that could affect the stock price can be a criminal offense, just ask hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam who recently got 11 years in prison for doing it. But, congressional lawmakers have no corporate responsibilities and have long been considered exempt from insider trading laws, even though they have daily access to non-public information and plenty of opportunities to trade on it.
Schweizer: We know that during the health care debate people were trading health care stocks. We know that during the financial crisis of 2008 they were getting out of the market before the rest of America really knew what was going on.
In mid September 2008 with the Dow Jones Industrial average still above ten thousand, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke were holding closed door briefings with congressional leaders, and privately warning them that a global financial meltdown could occur within a few days. One of those attending was Alabama Representative Spencer Bachus, then the ranking Republican member on the House Financial Services Committee and now its chairman.
Schweizer: These meetings were so sensitive—that they would actually confiscate cell phones and Blackberries going into those meetings. What we know is that those meetings were held one day and literally the next day Congressman Bachus would engage in buying stock options based on apocalyptic briefings he had the day before from the Fed chairman and treasury secretary. I mean, talk about a stock tip.
While Congressman Bachus was publicly trying to keep the economy from cratering, he was privately betting that it would, buying option funds that would go up in value if the market went down. He would make a variety of trades and profited at a time when most Americans were losing their shirts….”

I have to admit that I totally agree with Mr. Schweizer’s statement contained in the above CBS News report, which is that “it is unethical, highly offensive, and wrong for members of Congress to be able to legally use non-public insider information they obtain during their official duties to make well-timed stock market trades in the very industries that they regulate” and believe that those members that used the non-public insider information to make stock market trades in the days leading up to the 2008 economic crash while millions of Americans lost their shirts and are still trading should be impeached or voted out of office and not be allowed to serve in public again.
Additionally, the following recent article and video revealed an ongoing land grab movement by members of both the Democratic and Republican party, along with other hedge fund managers, which will require Americans to give up their individual freedoms, personal property and redistribute their wealth. Also included are recent articles that revealed that Sheriffs around the country, to include here in New Mexico, are now rising up against this despicable movement:

http://www.truthistreason.net/new-mexico-law-and-local-sheriff-trump-the-feds-in-agenda-21-land-grab
I am outraged that American’s across the country are not out in the streets protesting these repulsive actions by our elected officials and hedge fund managers. I also wonder why the “Occupy Wall Street” protestors were not protesting some of their own Congressmen that are still taking part in the insider trading and land grab movement, along with Wall Street, big corporations and banks.
What I find just as deplorable, reprehensible and unforgiving is not only that these actions are contributing to the further destruction of so many American’s lives, but now, as a result of the failure of the Congressional defense-reduction super-committee to do their job, which I now see as another distracter, we will experience additional tax hikes for the middle class, along with cuts to the Defense budget, especially when we’re asking our military to do more, will not only send a “horrible message” to Americans here at home and abroad, but “our adversaries and our enemies all across the world.” And, if our President (Commander-In-Chief) is willing to put politics over the men and women that we have in uniform serving all over this country and world that were asked to stand on freedom’s ramparts and protect us so that we could enjoy a Merry Christmas, instead of looking at places within the executive branch where he can look at agencies, failed programs, and duplicative programs that could be put on the table for now, I believe the president is being misguided.
I hope and pray that you were not one of our elected officials that profited by making well-timed stock market insider trades during the economic events that led to the 2008 economic crash, along with the ongoing land grab movement and would urge you to consider sponsoring and/or supporting a bill that would prohibit members of Congress and staffers from using knowledge gained from their jobs to trade in securities and a bill that would put a stop to the land grab movement.
I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this extremely disturbing matter, along with the numerous other issues that I shared with you in my letter of November 23, 2011, which I believe are just as important and, if not immediately dealt with, they will continue to covertly erode our Constitutional Rights and/or Bill of Rights and ultimately destroy our state, country and our Republic, which seems to be the ultimate goal by some within our own government or country.
May you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Please be aware that I am not senile enough (YET) to believe that any of my NM Representatives will ever respond to my numerous letters regarding this or any other issues that I feel will eventually destroy this great country of ours, but that's not going to discourage or stop me from corresponding with them, which I will do until the day I get called home by my beloved Creator who has graciously allowed me to survive two colon cancer surgeries to continue the fight so that my four sons, fourteen grandchildren and one recent great grandson can enjoy the great opportunities that I've enjoyed in my 65 years of life on this earth, which includes the opportunity to honorably serve this great country of ours as a Marine Mustang Officer for twenty years. I honestly couldn't live with myself if I did what so many other Americans seem to be doing at this crucial time when our Republic needs us more than ever, which is to take the easy road by sticking their heads in the sand hoping that this disturbing issues would all go away like a bad nightmarish dream-not going to happen!
My purpose and/or reason for sharing these and other letters with you that I have forwarded to my NM Representatives is simply to get your feedback because I know that there is probably nothing you can do when it comes to getting them to respond to me, but after having some time to observe your actions since being elected to Congress, along with your honorable service to our country as an Army Officer, I feel that you are someone that I can trust to provide me with some direction, which would assist me in getting my concerns addressed or at least letting me know whether or not there is any validity to my concerns.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding this disturbing and time sensitive matter.

then we will be a cinch to beat the democrat. problem solved.... RIGHT/
I WISH RICK PERRY WAS A BETTER SPEAKER, BUT HE,S NOT.ROMNEY IS TOO MODERT, NEWT HAS A LONG AGO PAST, SO AT THE MOMENT WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN.
Listening to Mark Levin made me think today. He pointed out that the Tea Party Caucus was not supporting the truest Constitutional Conservatives because it wanted to support the candidates that are most likely to win. I understand why, assuming for a moment he is correct. Any Tea Party member should be more concerned about rallying behind the person that can beat President Barak Hussein Obama, than split the votes.
At the same time, we are in the primaries NOW folks. NOW is the time to split the vote in order to get the best possible candidate for the country. NOW is not the time to start giving in on what created the amazing movement, the ideals of smaller government, consistent, Constitutional representation and financial responsibility. We must not, as a caucus, sit back quietly and let the media decide who are candidate will be. Mitt Romney is not less influenced by big money politics than President Obama. That is not to say he is a worse choice. Obviously. That is not even to say that I dislike Romney at the face. But there is no question that Mitt Romney has changed his position on almost every issue including Romney Care simply to lead in the polls.
"Is Romney a trustworthy conservative? If so, how so?" is the question posed by Mark Levine this evening, December 8th, 2011. Can anyone answer this question for me. The perhaps you will be able to convince me that you have put real thought into your lack of support for candidates like Michelle Bachmann or Rick Perry. I admit, in closing that it doesn't look like they would beat Obama now, but if you heard that Bachmann was polling at 32% in Iowa tomorrow would you feel differently? If so, then the media truly has affected your thinking.
The United States needs strong, principled conservative leadership more now than ever.
Are these some of Obama’s Chicago thugs or his drug cartels that are on his administration’s payroll?
Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On December 8, 2011:
“Maverick Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his “Cold Case Posse” investigating Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility will release a preliminary report in February of its findings, which he expects to be “controversial.”
“This is a serious law enforcement investigation, and our findings are going to be controversial but based in facts,” the Maricopa County sheriff told WND. Arpaio said a comprehensive report will be issued shortly after the February preliminary report.
“The investigators on the Cold Case Posse are doing a great job,” Arpaio told WND. “They are all law enforcement professionals, and they are all volunteers putting in a lot of hours at no taxpayer expense.”
Arpaio confirmed that the Obama investigation has broadened beyond an examination of whether or not the birth certificate made public by the White House on April 27 is an authentic document. The probe, he said, is examining Obama’s history in regard to his eligibility to be president under Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
“We are not taking the Obama investigation lightly,” Arpaio said. “The Cold Case Posse is actively tracking down all leads received, because the people deserve to know the truth.”
Arpaio’s investigative team has amassed hundreds of pages of documentation and taken testimony from dozens of experts in preparation for a final phase of field investigation
On Tuesday, Arpaio posted on his Facebook page a reference to a Globe Magazine report citing inside sources in the White House who say President Obama and the First Lady are in “a panic” over the Maricopa County investigation.
The reaction to Arpaio’s posting indicates public interest in the probe is high, despite relatively little coverage by establishment media.
Since Tuesday, Arpaio’s Facebook posting has received more than 7,900 “like this” clicks from readers, 780 shares and over 1,700 comments.
Arpaio also continues to receive messages of a different sort, with numerous death threats arriving at his office for his decision to investigate Obama’s eligibility.
“I plan to kill Joe Arpaio first,” read one particularly ominous death threat. “He will be filled with a thousand bullet holes before the year is out. I promise you this – Arpaio won’t **** with Obama.”
Maricopa County Deputy Chief David Trombi told WND that all death threats are being thoroughly investigated, with the intent to hold the culprits legally responsible for their actions.
“We can’t take the risk of ignoring a threat, regardless how wild or crazy the threat may appear,” Trombi said.
Arpaio, who has built a national reputation as a tough enforcer of Arizona’s immigration laws, is no stranger to death threats.
“The threats regarding the Obama investigation may set a new standard for partisanship, but they are nothing new,” Trombi said. “Four separate Mexican drug cartels have placed bounties totaling $4 million on his head. That’s about as serious as you can get, and the sheriff has had to live with this for years.”
Arpaio, nevertheless, is determined to bring the Obama investigation to a successful conclusion.
“The American people deserve to know the truth about Obama,” Arpaio said. “We are a major law enforcement agency – one of the largest in the nation – and we have at our disposal investigative tools not generally available, even to the top private investigator in the country. We don’t plan to stop until we discover the truth.”

The devastating price of government dependency. I witnessed it up close and personal in the late 50s when I was a child. Both of my mom's sisters had five kids each by various men who simply deposited their seed and moved on. Thus, both of my aunts were totally dependent on government. They lived in the projects.
The oldest of five children, I remember when my parents and four siblings also lived in the projects. We moved out to a black suburb when dad broke the color barrier into the Baltimore City Fire Department and became a firefighter.
Still, it was a treat whenever I was permitted to sleepover at my cousins' home in the projects in the exciting city.
The atmosphere at my welfare dependent cousins' home was strikingly different from mine; a subtle sadness which made me feel a little sorry for them. I felt they envied me and my siblings for having a dad who actually lived with us. I remember seeing large cans and boxes of generic labeled foods, peanut butter, powdered milk, meat and cheese. As a child, I felt food was weirdly important to them. My siblings and I could go into our fridge anytime we desired. My cousins' fridge was off limits without permission.
Despite lots of extremely loud talking and laughter in their homes, both my aunts appeared chronically angry and bitter with short explosive tempers. A threat of violence constantly loomed over life in the government projects inside and outside of the home.
If you add up the financial value of what my welfare cousins received for “free” from the government (housing, food and health care) their annual income probably far surpassed that of my dad. And yet, I considered my cousins to be poor. They perceived themselves to be poor as well.
Of my ten welfare dependent cousins, only one remarkably “made it”. He worked his way through college and became very successful. The other nine never ventured off of the government plantation; seduced by the false promise of security. Consequently, they succumbed to alcohol and drug abuse and out of wedlock births. Four of my cousins' lifestyles caused them to suffer early deaths.
Clearly, my two aunts choice or perceive lack of any other option but to totally rely on government for their survival came at a devastatingly high price; the self image and spirit of themselves and their children.
This tragic scenario sponsored by mostly Democrats has been playing out in the black community for at least 50 years.
A black man in the Oval Office affords the Democrats a unique opportunity. They can scream racism whenever anyone disagrees or opposes any of Obama's policies. Thus, his presidency is a golden opportunity to spread their destruction of the black family nationally to all Americans.
Why would the Democrats desire to do this, you ask? In a nut shell, it is all about them. The more Americans dependent on government, the more Democrats are empowered. Also, the Democratic Party enthusiastically embraces all who hate America. Pure and simple.
The Democrats supported by the liberal media are well on their way to transforming America into a giant government-controlled plantation of dependent lifelong indentured servants.
For example. Under Obama, a record number of Americans receive food stamps. Another Democrat tactic to increase the number of Americans dependent on government and voting democrat is to keep extending unemployment benefits which is now up to 92 weeks, almost two years. What incentive is there for the unemployed to aggressively pursue a job when they know they can sit on their butts and receive a check for two years? Rather than Obama reducing ridiculous costly regulations on small business which would create jobs, Democrats and their media partners are pressuring the Republicans to join them in further extending unemployment benefits.
Beginning in public school through college, liberals have indoctrinated our children teaching them America is unjust, Capitalism is evil, they are entitled to the fruit of other peoples' labors and only government can make things fair and right. Liberal indoctrination birthed the Occupy movement; losers hating achievers and demanding their “fair share”.
Meanwhile, 47% of Americans, almost half the country, are exempt from paying federal income taxes. Despite the rich paying most of the taxes already, Democrats are screaming for the rich to pay more.
But here is my point. There is a scary question on the minds of decent Americans. The question is have we reached “the tipping point”-- the point where teachers and professors have stolen the minds of too many of our youths; the point where Democrats have made so many Americans dependent upon some form of government handout that a majority of Americans surrender their freedom, liberty and our culture to big government.
Nothing in life is free. While my cousins received free cradle to grave government handouts, they paid a devastating price for their dependency. They lost themselves, their self-esteem, pride and dignity. They lost the joy of success after failure. They lost the pursuit of their dreams. They lost the experience of developing their God given gifts and talents. For perceived security, my cousins willingly remained slaves on the Democrats' government plantation.
Here is what Ben Franklin had to say about folks who worship security.
"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security."
Due to the lack of American history taught in our public schools, I would not be surprised if a student asked, “Ben Franklin, ain't he the guy who dated J-Lo?”
I do not fear for America because I believe God still has us in His Hands. However, I am extremely concerned that we have culturally and morally lost our way.
Today, it is no longer embarrassing to depend on welfare for survival. Many feel justified demanding government rob the rich to redistribute to them in the name of fairness and compassion. These suckers are clueless to the truth that the confiscated funds go to public sector unions which recycles the funds back to the Democratic Party via union dues.
But here is the rub. You government dependency junkies do not get of Scott free. Remember, nothing in life is free. You ultimately pay a devastating price for your class envy, laziness, hate and fear. In the process, you lose yourself.

What’s disturbing about this picture?
Posted on FoxNews.com-By Catherine Herridge, Fox News chief intelligence correspondent-On December 7, 2011:
“Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.
During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.
“The documents attached illustrate how the Department is dealing with the threat of violent Islamist extremism in the context of a broader threat of workplace violence,” read the letter, which was obtained by Fox News.
Thirteen people were killed and dozens more wounded at Fort Hood in 2009, and the number of alleged plots targeting the military has grown significantly since then. Lawmakers said there have been 33 plots against the U.S. military since Sept. 11, 2001, and 70 percent of those threats have been since mid-2009. Major Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, who is being held for the attacks, allegedly was inspired by radical U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in late September. The two men exchanged as many as 20 emails, according to U.S. officials, and Awlaki declared Hasan a hero.
The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Connecticut independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, said the military has become a “direct target of violent Islamist extremism” within the United States.
“The stark reality is that the American service member is increasingly in the terrorists’ scope and not just overseas in a traditional war setting,” Lieberman told Fox News before the start of Wednesday’s hearing.
In June, two men allegedly plotted to attack a Seattle, Wash., military installation using guns and grenades. In July, Army Pvt. Naser Abdo was accused of planning a second attack on Fort Hood. And in November, New York police arrested Jose Pimentel, who alleged sought to kill service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Both Pimentel and Abdo also allegedly drew inspiration from al-Awlaki and the online jihadist magazine Inspire, which includes a spread on how to “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom.”
Rep. Peter King of New York, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said military service members are “symbols of America’s power, symbols of America’s might.”
“And if they (military personnel) can be killed, then that is a great propaganda victory for al Qaeda,” King told Fox News.
King said there is also evidence that extremists have joined the services.
“There is a serious threat within the military from people who have enlisted who are radical jihadists,” King said. “The Defense Department is very concerned about them. They feel they’re a threat to the military both for what they can do within the military itself and also because of the weapons skills they acquire while they’re in the military.”
The witnesses testifying before the joint session include Paul N. Stockton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense; Jim Stuteville, U.S. Army senior adviser for counterintelligence operations and liaison to the FBI; Lt. Col. Reid L. Sawyer, director of the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, and Darius Long, whose son, Army Pvt. William Andrew Long, was shot and killed at an Arkansas military recruitment center in 2009.
A second private was also injured in the Arkansas attack. Both victims had just finished basic training and had not been deployed. They were outside the Arkansas recruitment center when the shooter opened fire from a passing truck. The shooter, Carlos Bledsoe, pleaded guilty to the crime earlier this year.
In a letter to the court, Bledsoe said he carried out the attack on behalf of al Qaeda in Yemen—the group that was behind the last two major plots targeting the U.S. airline industry.
“My faith in government is diminished. It invents euphemisms ... Little Rock is a drive by and Fort Hood is just workplace violence. The truth is denied,” Long testified.
King said the web is the driver of the new digital jihad.
“It enables people—rather than having to travel to Afghanistan to learn about jihad or to be trained, they can do it right over the Internet,” he said. “And this is a growing role.”
And while Awlaki and his colleague Samir Khan, who was behind the magazine Inspire, were killed in a CIA-led operation in September, King warned against overconfidence that al Qaeda in Yemen was done.
“This is a definite short-term victory for us. There’s no doubt they are going to regroup, that there will be others who will be providing Internet data, inspiration to jihadists in this country, instructions on how to make bombs,” he said.
While King was heavily criticized, in some quarters, for launching his hearings 10 months ago on homegrown terrorism, the congressman said the joint session shows the threat is legitimate, and recognized as such by other members of Congress.
“To me it’s a validation of what I’ve been trying to do all year,” King emphasized. “There’s a definite threat from Islamic radicalization in various parts of our society, including within the military, and we can’t allow political correctness to keep us from exposing this threat for what it is.”

From the Desk of the Exceptional Conservative
This is not the usual writing of a poetic sophist heaving grandeur political concepts upon the audience of Urban listeners and readers. I will not begin with niceties and sincere appeals. CONSERVATIVES, we are at full fledged war with attacks from within and without. You may appreciate the daily punitive assaults upon our principles and our people by the Media and the Left (Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Marxists, Occupiers, etc.). If for the first time in the history of this Great Nation that our Credit Rating was downgraded then, it is the Tea Party's and Conservatives' fault. If you can not pass a budget in nearly 1,000 days, even when you had a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate, then, it's the Tea Party's fault. If the plumbing goes bad in your house, Blame Bush or the Tea Party Conservatives. Screw Transparency! You don't need a mercury-filled light bulb from General Electric China to know that the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy in the Democrat Coalition. Whether it's the die-hard Klansman or the caring La Raza patron who believes that additional government funding is needed to support black fathers because they do not have the moral fiber to stay home with their children, you expect slights and intelligentsia breaches moment by moment. You know that when you attend a conservative event in Washington that Occupiers will push old people down stairs onto the Urban pavement or will build tenement shelter without permit on federal lands. WE expect this and we get it! We fight back. We unify and we employ the Constitution to defeat our enemies. November 2010 is an example of the magnificent powers of Tea Party Conservatives to repel the enemy!
With the Glory of November 2010, Redistricting and the attraction of one of the Best Crop of Conservatives to run for the Presidency in our History, you would think that the GOP would have risen upon the highest mount and roared with full force and excitement over the innumerable possibilities of taking back the Senate and the White House and maintaining the House. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We inherit a Scar moment! Out of nowhere comes the transparency of a malnourished Party that is merely seeking a residency at the Ruler's Table rather than a crown. John Hayward writes,
The Yahoo News report of Tuesday’s Republican National Committee conference call has produced much dismay throughout the conservative blogosphere:
Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.
"We're hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks" personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of polling firm the Tarrance Group, said on the call. "There's a lot of people who feel sorry for him."
Recent polling data indicates that while the president suffers from significantly low job approval ratings, voters still give "high approval" to Obama personally, Thompson said.
Voters "don't think he's an evil man who's out to change the United States" for the worse--even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should "exercise some caution" when talking about the president personally.
The Scared GOP announces that they have the lion's share of the intellect with this strategy of cowardice. A threat of how powerful they could be if they were in charge. President Obama has the lion share of the brawn of popular support. Not since Shirley Maclaine has an individual been able to channel as many dead people as Barack Obama. What troubles me is that he seems limited to "Great" Presidents. How can any man face down such a Goliath? My, my, my, if Obama wasn't so strong in foreign and domestic policy accomplishments then, the GOP would be marching onward to Atlanta in victory. If you want to know how I feel about the GOP today then, merely think of my favorite military leader, General George S. Patton, US Army. It's time to send the GOP to the front of the lines in the Primaries. Before we send Obama back to Indonesia, we must pack up the whiny RINOs that have infiltrated our ranks and settled like wayward Palestinians in our halls of governance. Yes, the first to go must be the career politicians that have sat in the House and Senate afraid to move forward or backwards because they have gotten comfortable doing nothing and having nothing expected from them. Conservatives, you have received the cue! IT'S TIME TO SEND THE HEARTLESS GOP HOME AND SEND SOME REAL BATTALIONS OF STRENGTH TO RALLY THE SOLDIERS THAT HAVE PUT UP A HEROIC EFFORT IN WASHINGTON.
For those following along at home, the GOP has asked all of us to play nice and go about our way. You have three prominent conservatives--Rick Santorum, Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann--in the Presidential race. What more could the conservatives ask for since there are more moderates in America than conservatives? Roughly one third, 36%, to 42% of the American public self-identify as "conservative." Yes, like we said, "more moderates!" Right. They don't want you to gather around to inspect how they got rid of one conservative Presidential candidate on allegations of sexual impropriety aka "being unfaithful to the spouse" and how they almost got rid of one conservative Presidential candidate on allegations of sexual propriety aka "being faithful to the spouse". Now, mind you, the GOP never saw Obama as a threat. Speaker of the House John Boehner did not see his golfing buddy, Barack Hussein Obama, as a threat to our national security, our budget or our deficit. He did see Michelle Bachmann as a threat. She had a common sense answer for eliminating $105 Billion from the budget in one stroke: Repeal Obamacare! Hey, 9 out of 10 RINO's agree to run on Repeal. Why not put it to a real test? Say that our credit rating and our budget depends on the repeal. Nah! That won't work! Obama won't sign it. Well, he hasn't signed any budget in nearly a 1,000 days, what's the difference? The difference is Bachmann had guts and Boehner did not. Conservative 1, GOP 0. Of course, this can not be true because Bachmann is a gaffe machine. She, a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Financial Services Committee, says lots of funny stuff! O, sorry, that was the VP Joe Biden. I dare mention again that America's Ultimate Gaffe Machine is Vice-President, a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Herman Cain had a common sense answer for the problem of centralized power and taxation abuse in Washington, DC. His response: 9 - 9 - 9. It was simple and yet, shook every bed from Sacramento, CA to the White House. Mr. Cain had defeated the Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Marxists, Occupiers and GOP Establishment with three numbers. I hear the hooves. The Establishment could see power and control sifting through their hands. O, heck No! Two months later the Establishment unleashed the power of the Trailer Park upon the forces of Good and their champion shrank from the waves of allegation. I wonder what Ted Kennedy would have done? I wonder what Bill Clinton would have done? I guess we will never know. Each of them never became President of the United States. The horses are galloping at full strength. Everyone is now left with a choice of Speaker Newt Gingrich or Governor Mitt Romney. One of them will be the nominee. I hear a cry in the distance. There is no way that Iowa would ever choose a conservative like Michelle Bachmann. There is no way that South Carolina could possibly pick Michelle Bachmann. There is no way that Oregon or Florida would pick Michelle Bachmann. I think I hear the horsemen, "The Cowards Are Coming, The Cowards Are Coming!" It's Midnight and whom will the conservatives choose? The Tea Party picks...Whatever the GOP says.
John Jay is one of America's most influential Founding Fathers. Noted for his work on establishing the Supreme Court and writings in the Feralist Papers, one noted, as well, for a lesser thing in history. He attempted to reconcile the colonies with Britain until the final signing of the Declaration of Independence. As time passes, he became the radical Patriot that we speak well of today. In prior times, he was not as confident in a fledgling scatter of patriots to establish a Nation. Certainly, not the Nation that has come to be known as the United Staes of America. John Adams and his Rad buddies were ready to throw down right chere, right now! As conservatives, they were tired of being dissed by the British army here and King George III and the British Parliament in Englend. John Jay wanted compromise in lieu of war. It is the call of the "moderate" to turn the other cheek when both sides have been blistered. So long before there was a US Postal Service facing bankruptcy, Jay ferried a parcel to the King: The Olive Branch Petition. The Humble Petition fawningly advised that the colonists were not looking for Independence from a great Tyrant. Heavens No! We just want you to look over a few of our issues and then, tell us that you want to play golf at St. Andrews. Heck, we'll even buy you a Green Tea Tokyo at the club house. We go now to Bryant Gumbel to gain insight on the King's Response. Bryant? We are having some BTR difficulties. Let's just say that it would be easier to find a Pro-semite amongst Occupy Wall Street than garner a kind word from George. What Jay learned is that you can not separate the man from his message. The King was a monarchist and the colonists were mere "workers" in the Kingdom. There is no room for negotiation even if you reaelly really really like the guy! Obama is a Marxist/Urban Leninist. There is no separation between who he is and what he believes. To submit to a compromise with him is to submit to descending a slippery slope. No matter how hard you resist, you will fall and succomb to the will of the slope. For Lenin, capitalism was merely a tool to motivate the political body towards more central planning. For Obama, American capitalism and the US Constitution have been his vessels to motivate the political body towards more central planning. For Lenin, an attack of his public policies, projects and programs was seen as an attack against the state and subject to severe punishment. For Obama, an attack against him is an attack against him and 99% of America. The penalty is sever mutilation by the media and leftist organizations. John Jay became a hardened radical and Patriot by war's end. He realized that his moderate ways only led to greater tyranny. The sad thing is that the GOP have not learned this. The penalty, radical Tea Party Patriots may produce no fruit and literally die upon the electoral vine of 2012.
The real story here is that the GOP sent a warning to conservative talk personalities and commentators throughout the nation: DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT OBAMA! It was conservative bloggers, like myself, and Sean Hannity that warned America that Russia was invading and the GOP guardsmen did not fire a shot. Rush knew more in four words than the GOP has learned in four years. The GOP bought into the Messianic mystique when, before a Veto proof House and Senate, he had passed the most expensive piece of Socialist legislation--The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Forget the economy! In Marxism / Urban Leninism / Socialism, the economy is not supposed to work. The people are supposed to have greater dependency on the man behind the machine than the machine itself. In capitalism, the fine organism is off kilter when unemployment is above 5% generally. In Marxism / Urban Leninism / Socialism, the economy is off kilter when you can't borrow from Germany or China and mobs fill the streets of Greece! They swooned over his ability to speak. Mr. Black Man, you talk so pretty!
"Let's be clear, the president is a great speaker -- probably the greatest we've seen in a generation,'' Jindal, a Republican, said of the president, a Democrat. "I'm certainly not nearly as good of a speaker as he is. And I'm not the only one that's got that opinion.''
Family, this is what it is really all about. It's still a race thing with the GOP. Conservatives and Tea Party have moved onward to Reform the Nation. The absent years of the GOP in Urban America keeps the mystique alive and well. Hayward writes:
Also, even the most Beltway-insulated Republican elitist might have noticed that Obama and his media proxies are not at all shy about making things personal against them. This is going to be the nastiest and most divisive re-election effort in history. Obama and his auxiliaries, notably the Occupy Wall Street movement, have been working hard to divide America into warring camps. Republicans with serious strategies for fiscal responsibility will be mercilessly depicted as hired stooges for the Evil Rich. Racial politics will be aggressively deployed through surrogates, even as Obama continues the pretense of being a post-racial healer.
Divide and conquer. With this conference call, the cowards of the GOP have divided and conquered. They have conquered in the battle of revelation. Obama wanted to reveal without cloud Osawatomie, Texas (lol) his utter disdain for the United States that we love and his desire to utterly transform us into pre-1990 Eastern Europe. However, he could not come out of the closet alone except the bumbling stewards of Lincoln's party invite a liberal onto a conference call that is set to divide conservatives and Tea Partiers from the GOP. Ladies and gentlemen, the GOP cowards are racing about to and fro advising that only an "Establishment" candidate can win this election. Conservative America, you have one shot at this! Like Tuco (Eli Wallach) said in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966), "When it's time to shoot, shoot, and shut up talking," Send a message to the GOP and Obama! Vote for the most conservative person that you can find. The Cowards have come and now it is time for them to be Gone! Send the RINOs packing or else Greece or Spain may be your children's inheritance.

Bombshell: DEA laundering money for Mexican cartels
There is an obvious fundamental reason for this Obama-nation I'm not hearing. Being one of America’s bottom fish, not blinded by surface reflections, I maintain that we are here, not for the good of all, but each for our own purpose. While appearing self-serving, it’s the reverse. We've been made to feel guilty—led down a garden path.
In answer to Obama’s Teddy Roosevelt speech, in "fairness" at least a dozen times, for the good of all, we can’t be his socialist idea. We are not herd animals. For everyone’s best interest, the best we can be is doing what is best for ourselves; that is, anything that doesn’t bring harm to others. In this way, we are our brother’s keepers.
With Obama’s way, we are our brother’s takers, and worse, as we see on the border, our brothers’ killer. The Obama Administration is out to eliminate every liberty the American people have and make us slaves to Obama's will. Everything he has done since his election says this loud and clear.
Obama came from under a rock to the same Chicago school of thought as Blago. He and Attorney General Holder should be going to prison with Blagojevich, with double the time in the Big House. The current occupant of the Whitehouse is the biggest con artist ever in American politics. Holder is the most lawless of all attorney generals. Together, these two traitors are bringing to America the worst disgrace of all times.
Thanks to shades of the “New Deal,” government fakery, the one-suit-fits-all approach, my business career was on the rocks and my second wife was divorcing me. I blamed my woes on government and studied the Constitution with the idea of using it to demand my God-given right to exist on the fruits of my own labor. That was the key that unlocked the door.
Which Republican running for President comes closest to bringing the Constitution back? This is the candidate that comes closest to bringing peace and prosperity to the world.
The current out of control government began with Franklin D. Roosevelt. Obama makes F.D.R. look like a conservative. The Supreme Court in 1936 said, "A tax to promote the general welfare cannot be wrested out of its setting and legalized by ignoring its purpose as the mere instrumentality for bringing about a desired end."
FDR: "The balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the Court in direct contradiction of the high purpose of the framers of the Constitution."
The Roosevelt Court: "Property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end." Justice Brandeis.
Why haven’t we known the deal? We should listen very, very carefully to what the candidates say. The Constitution doesn't say a lot of things politicians say. Our representatives are not here to in any way whatsoever direct by law ones personal life, liberty or pursuit of happiness.
They say the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can cause tornado in Texas. If we are to save the nation from moral, spiritual and fiscal bankruptcy, property will once again have to take precedence over the Court’s “preferred freedom” to live on the backs of the taxpayers.
Behind out of control government spending is entitlements. It would be terribly unpopular for a Republican candidate to say unconstitutional entitlements must be phased out, but the time to start is now. No more kicking the can down the road. Entitlements are heading for an abrupt end and nothing to replace them.
As soon as the economy recovers, those trillions of dollars pumped into the economy while the Democrats and me-to Republicans were in control, to put off an economic catastrophe, will bring about hyperinflation, undoubtedly, with a Republican President and Congress. Although Republicans will have brought the economy back, Democrats can say that Republicans pushed Grandma off a cliff. Although a fact, the cause was Democrats, but that dog won’t hunt. If any mistakes are made, the American people can say goodbye to every right they have.
America’s ancestors came to America for the opportunity to be self-governed and built a great nation. Naturally, the cure is not what the politicians want you to hear. They want you to know what they are doing for you. Both Republicans and Democrats deal strictly with the symptoms of the problems they caused.
At the election after the Democrats have lost control, helplessly, we will see every right we have go down the drain when the Democrats are back in control. Again, say I, listen very carefully to what the candidates say, and don’t say. Let them know how you take what they say. After all, you have to live with what they do for the rest of your lives.
I'm 86 years-old. It would be a shame to pass on without leaving the world the way I got a life. I’ve spent the past ten years in a mind search. In January 2012, a crucial year, I plan to self-publish my ideas. They worked to cause Uncle Sam to hang himself with his own rope. All of my dreams came true. If this bottom fish’s ideas worked for me, they can work for all. We can make government our servant, or become slaves. The choice is ours.
Man Fined $1500.00 for Looking for a Job.
SPOKANE, WA: Russ Hinds wanted a break from arguing with government authorities so he packed a bicycle and rode 1000 miles over the span of 4 months. He left Klamath Falls, OR for Kalispell, MT, where he spent a peaceful month with some new found friends who try to live off the grid and under of the government‘s radar. After helping get their winter firewood in, Mr. Hinds rode his bicycle back to his father’s house in Elk, WA.
Seeing that his funds were running low, Mr. Hinds printed up a flyer notifying his neighbors that he is available to perform “maintenance and repair” services for a reasonable rate, then Mr. Hinds posted the flyer on several bulletin boards at local stores. Running afoul of state bureaucrats with nothing better to do than read flyers on private owned bulletin boards never crossed his mind. Here is the wording of his flyer:

About a week after posting the flyer, an Inspector with Washington State Department of Labor and Industries called the first number posing as a potential homeowner with a job offer. The “homeowner” reached Mr. Hinds’ father and said that he needed a physical address so that he could send some blueprint information and see if Mr. Hinds would accept the job. The Inspector then called the cell number which reached Mr. Hinds who was temporarily working in Richland, WA. The caller introduced himself as an agent of the Department of Labor and Industries, Electrical Division, who had a beef with a flyer posted on Yokes Fresh Market bulletin board. The inspector informed Mr. Hinds that he would receive a citation for using the word “electrical” on the flyer. The shocked and amazed Mr. Hinds incredulously told the inspector to do what he wanted to do. Six days later, Mr. Hinds’ father was shocked and amazed to find a citation for $500.00 addressed to his son in the mail. Seven days after that, another citation for the same flyer was received in the mail. This one came from the Contractor Registration Program Manager, Dean Simpson and imposed a fine of $1000.00.
Both citations stated that an appeal could be made, but the appeal would require a letter stating the reasons for the appeal AND a Cashiers Check or Money Order for $200.00 BEFORE the appeal would be heard. Both citations were loaded with threats of garnishments, collections, legal action, and liens on real and personal property. One citation implicated Mr. Hinds AND family since it was issued to “Russ Hinds and Spouse/partner And the marital community thereof or a registered domestic partnership, A Sole Proprietorship.”
Mr. Hinds promptly appealed both revenue tickets and notified his father’s state senator and congressman. It appears that Washington State’s budget shortfall has led the bureaucrats to seek revenue by all possible means, which includes citing people looking for a job. Amazing… so much for a break from arguing with government authorities…
Please note the following documents supporting this story and defending the rights of people seeking employment. BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO COWARDLY SEND CITATIONS IN THE MAIL WITHOUT SHOWING CREDENTIALS IN A FACE TO FACE CONVERSATION. Phillip Jordan, Dean Simpson, and Michael Thrams didn’t even have the courage to sign their complaints. Supporting documents and responses can be found at the website:

I hope you enjoy this great news as I did when I was told.

OUTSTANDING!! I just left my neighbors house. Devon is with the National Guard for this area. He just got home from a EDRE (emergency deployment readiness exercise) at the armory. He said that during the exercise 3 companies of infantry were polled by questionare about the drill and it’s purpose. One of the questions was, will you as a member of the Nat. Guard use lethal force against the American public if ordered to do so? One of the men stepped forward and refused to take the poll and explained that it was a moral judgement on his part and that he could not do so. He then placed his weapon on the ground and fell in behind the formation. Devon said it was like a waterfall, Every member layed their weapons on the deck and fell in beside the one lone specialist. This included ALL NCO’s, STAFF NCO’s and SENIOR NCO’s. The only people left in front of the original formation was 3 Capt’s. 2 Lt’s and the BN Commander who was so upset he started having chest pains from yelling and screaming about court martials and disbandment of the unit into other units. Devon is a Mstr.Sgt and he went with his troops and told them that he could not be prouder of any of them. He was floating while he was telling me this. Maybe we have more than just hope on our side. SEMPER FI. my thanks for the honor of being here Robert

I just heard from Devon. He was TX’d by his Plt LDR and advised that the Specialist Who first layed down his weapon is being held in county jail by the Bn CMDR, awaiting a hearing under the UCMJ. Devon couldn’t get any more info than that. I don’t want to post the mans name until we have more information. I am so upset by this that I am having chest pains. How can they do this to one soldier and not them all. I will let you know how things go. Think I might go lay down for a bit. SEMPER FI.
Gary Greene That is great, sort of, to hear. That the officers wont stand by THEIR oath is troubling. Where is this?
NOTE FROM STEWART RHODES:
Again, this is unconfirmed, and we are working on confirming it. Please keep that in mind. But this is certainly the kind of mass, whole-unit stand-down that may well become necessary, especially in light of the treason of the US Senate, which voted 93-7 to authorize military detention and trial of U.S. citizens—claiming the power to apply the laws of war to the American people in the same way as they are used on a conquered, enemy population, like Iraq or Afghanistan. While National Guard units can, and have been used for riot control without violating their oath, we suspect that this survey was asking them about whether they would do something far worse than just keep the peace during riots. We will do our best to get to the bottom of this, and provide all details once confirmed.
If accurate, this is reminiscent of the stand-down during Katrina by SSGT Joshua May’s Utah National Guard Unit, where the whole unit let their commander know, in a peremptory refusal, that they would not participate in any gun confiscation: Watch Video

The John Birch Society has provided this excellent video. I get tired of hearing so many news anchors, liberal bloggers, talking heads, politicians, and even Obama, referring to America as a "Democracy." I am saddened to see the political machine Democrats and Republicans alike prop up and manipulate foreign countries, while destroying the sovereignty of the nation they swore and oath to defend. I have seen great men go to Washington with a vision to restore America to it's former greatness, only to fall in lock step with the already entrenched sock puppet soldiers of the elite bankers who already rule most of the world. Our elected officials are like piranha, tearing this wounded nation to shreds. A death of a thousand cuts.
I can only imagine what leads them to this traitorous behavior. It has been said only two factors lead people to action; "pleasure and pain." I believe that "Fear" is a variable of the pain which can drive good people to doing things they may never have dreamed themselves capable of. My theory is that once politicians get to Washington and find who holds power over the government, they are overwhelmed with the vast promises of wealth dangled before them. And if that is not enough of a motivational tool, they soon realize the unimaginable horrors which could be inflicted upon them if they fail to obey. A carrot and a switch moves the most stubborn mule. I say to all members of Congress who have been led astray, your greed and cowardice disgust me, and millions of patriotic American's like myself.
You have abused the powers entrusted to you by the people. You forget, you are not our masters, but our servants. We pay you to do a job, and you use your legislative powers to gain wealth and power, and write laws to strike fear into those who would confront you. You constantly remove God from public view, because you realize without God, the Constitution is meaningless. I deeply regret that Anthony Wayne and George Washington talked the Continental Army out of killing every member of Congress at one point. It might have set an example for the spineless members occupying those seats today, who make it a crime to even speak ill of them.
But I remind Congress now, from the Declaration of Independence, Action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776:
"-- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness... "
Congress would be advised to note there are over a hundred million Americans who do not share their fear and cowardice of the global bankers, who have like their elected representatives, sworn and oath to protect and defend America against all enemies, foreign, and domestic. The difference being, they will actually uphold their oath, and “we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”
To those of you who have lost sight of what the Great Experiment is, and how blessed we all are to be citizens in this great nation, I urge you to take pause, and look at our history, and realize how fragile our freedom is, and how it is being eroded by those who nearly enslave us at this moment. Start by viewing the video above, and learn our history, and share it with everyone you can. Most of the world is already run by a global elite society and America is the last stronghold of freedom. If we lose freedom here, there is no place left to go. It is time to put down your proverbial plows and forge them into weapons. Virtually every state in the country has a private militia, and it is incumbent upon every American to serve in some aspect of support to them. You OWE it to your children, for though you may escape the slavery of a global government, your children surely will not unless YOU take a stand NOW.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
~ Samuel Adams, debates of 1776
God bless you, and God bless America.
