Speaking Truth-to-Power
The Only Hope for America Now
Two recent events emphasized for Ol’ Rajjpuut the importance of never-failing to tell truth to power. In America the TEA Party is the last hope for the voting, tax-paying public to get through the thick heads of our elected officials that fiscal- and Constitutional-responsibility are vitally necessary NOW. The second instance concerns, Bill O’Reilly of FOXNEWS and will be dealt with in great detail later in this blog. In the first one, Rajjpuut who used to be a health educator and who has hammered away for a long time on the dangers of bureaucratic incursions into health care was gratified to see truth winning out over the Washington health care proselytizers . . . .
The dangers of the federal and state governments’ “one-size fits all medicine” will soon be revealed to all of us unless Obamacare is repealed. However, in a far less obvious story: for 25 years now, the federal government has been insisting that childhood shots required by law were absolutely blameless in causing mental and neurological damage to our children even as the numbers and rate of autism were skyrocketing. While they were doing this openly on the one hand they’ve been running a slush-fund to pay-off on the quiet many of the families involved. The only requirements for these slush-fund pay-offs were two: A) well-documented cause and effect that tie brain or nerve damage to the shots and B) the lawsuit could NOT mention the word “autism” in anyway, fashion or mode. That dirty-little-secret is now blown to hell and back thanks to those of us who for over a generation have been insisting upon speaking truth to power . . . .
Today your child is more likely to develop autism than he is to have a twin. One in every 84 children develops autism. These numbers have risen steadily since the federal and state governments began requiring shots of all children first as they gained school age and secondly in more recent days infant shots after the first six weeks of life. A second factor no one has mentioned but key to understanding the problem is that instead of single shots, today it is very likely that a “combo-shot” of three, four or even more vaccines will be pumped into the arms of the children at one fell swoop . . . it is only as these combo-shots came into vogue that the autism ratio dropped dramatically from one in every 760 children to today’s one in every 84. The third factor is that mass vaccination drives are often held. No child who is not 100% healthy, displaying absolutely no cold-no fever-no other problems, should ever be given a vaccination and never more than one vaccine at a time should be administered. Finally, however, autism is just now being spoken of frankly and the government being accosted and big pharmaceutical companies and their combination vaccines are feeling the heat and paying up . . . finally. It’s only a trickle so far, but this truth is finally coming out. Truth to power is vital. Perhaps someday soon we can see some greater responsibility on this issue and the autism ratio rise back to 400 or 500 to 1.
For our major blog coverage, Rajjpuut was aghast to see FOXNEWS’ Bill O’Reilly of The O’Reilly Factor opinion program get absolutely pummeled by liberal-progressive idiots on his program for roughly a week straight. Rajjpuut sent the following short e-mail to O’Reilly with the extensive follow-up information also included. If this information was part of our nation’s shared knowledge bank the financial meltdown would never have happened; Barack Obama would not be in the Oval Office using the Constitution as toilet paper; and our National Debt and UNfunded entitlement liabilities would be already on the road to manageable resolution . . . .
Bill, progressive mouthpieces on the Factor make you look bad when arguing about the Financial Meltdown of 2008 and Obama’s economic policies. Unlike Truth-Meister Glen Beck, you seem afraid to deal with the underlying causes: A) CRA ’77 and its five expansions took us from 0.24% suspect loans in 1977 to 34.2% in 2007 and B) the Broken Window Fallacy which virtually every liberal-progressive initiative displays.

Broken Window Fallacy:
http://fee.org/library/books/economics-in-one-lesson/#0.1_L3
The ACORN-Progressive-Clinton-Obama Conspiracy:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html
1. CRA ’77 the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 from Carter and progressives in both chambers of Congress. 64% of Americans owned their own homes then . . . so the F-M system was very healthy and the envy of the world. Free Market mortgages were no longer allowed. Bad home loans MUST now be made to unqualified applicants by LAW. Suspect loans allow 3% down payment or less.
2. ACORN was created in 1977 virtually simultaneously (as the Arkansas Community Organizations for Reform Now by Cloward-Piven and Wiley Lieutenant Wade Rathke) with the creation of CRA ’77.
3. After doubling the nation’s welfare rolls in seven years, (1968-75) with their National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), C-P and Wiley bragged publicly and in print about bankrupting NYC and nearly bankrupting NY State and many other states and large cities. They charged their NWRO followers with using Saul Alinsky tactics in voter registration and housing. Rathke from the NWRO was sent to Arkansas to get L-G Bill Clinton (he and his wife were Alinsky enthusiasts) elected and to test out the ACORN concept. Clinton was elected governor for 12 of the next 14 years in Arkansas and by 1985 national suspect loans had doubled to 0.51% just from ACORN in one small test-state. ACORN went national and become the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
4. First of the five major expansions of CRA ’77 was under G. H. W. Bush who sustained 45 out of 46 vetoes. Bush loved the bill given him by Congress in 1992 but hated one “tiny” rider segment of it that expanded CRA ’77 into Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae. Instead of vetoing it and asking for a cleaner bill, he signed it.
5. One of Bill Clinton’s first acts resulted in a signing ceremony for the infamous Motor Voter Act (called a 12-lane highway for voter fraud) with Cloward and Piven standing directly behind him in the official portrait: an ACORN payoff.
http://therealrevo.com/blog/?p=31698
6. Clinton’s next ACORN payoff was four separate expansions of CRA ’77.
7. Between 1993 when he first took office and 1995, Clinton presided over a huge expansion of CRA law by executive regulatory fiat.
8. In 1995 he and his progressive Dems outdueled the Republican majority and got two legislative expansions of CRA ’77 passed.
9. In 1998, despite his Monica scandal, Clinton passed a steroid-version of CRA expansion.
10. In high contrast, “W” as the governor of Texas passed a 1998 law requiring a minimal down payment of 20% on all mortgage loans. Texas would become the state least impacted by the financial collapse. Rick Perry would follow up “W’s” work by passing tort reform making Texas the most business-friendly state in the nation and the friendliest for the health care industry as well.
11. Barack Obama was an ACORN lawyer for two years browbeating and shaking down mortgage lenders around Chicago to comply (to their detriment) with CRA ’77 law and to give donations to ACORN.
12. After the ’98 steroid-version expansion of CRA law by Clinton, it was easier for ACORN to put a very poor (risk) loan applicant into a $440,000 home than it had been to put a better applicant into a $110,000 home a decade earlier. Many of these ACORN-prodded loans were granted at 0% down payment.
13. By 2005, folks without jobs; without credit; with only food stamps to declare as “income;” and even illegal aliens were being put into expensive homes.
14. The problem of sub-prime lending and a housing bubble was first noticed by Jim Stack of investech.com in late November, 2003. He ran a chart of the Housing Industry Bubble on the website’s homepagefor the next 4.5 years as the 1,400% rise in these stocks was part of a bubble brought on by CRA laws that he said threatened the entire American economy.
15. Roughly thirteen months later in January, 2005, “W” made a speech about the sub-prime lending dangers and his administration sought to repeal much of CRA legislation. They were defeated by progressive Republicans and Democrats.
16. Bush would make eighteen more speeches and attempted often to get the CRA laws repealed. He was foiled for thirty months.
17. In July, 2007 a heavily watered down version of Bush’s January, 2005 bill was passed by a bi-partisan Congress. It would prove way too little; way too late to do much about the coming fiscal collapse . . . but it helped a lot. In August, 2010, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner praised Bush’s law and said that it prevented a complete collapse of the nation’s economy by heading off a severe crash in home prices. This is practically the only positive comment on Bush’s handling of the economy ever breathed by the Obama administration.
18. On no less than 58 occasions (probably more) President Obama has referred to the “mess” caused by his predecessor and the economic hole he inherited -- while using an economic metaphor about a “car driven into the ditch” while referring to Wall Street, conservatives, the Bush administration, and most blatantly false: the free market system. The facts are that Wall Street is perhaps 10% guilty; Obama is perhaps 300% guilty; ACORN and Bill Clinton about 10,000% each; and Cloward-Piven, Wiley, Rathke and Progressive politicians are equally 500,000% guilty and Bush, conservatives, and the free market are blameless.
21,000 Transactions
Any new rescues by the U.S. central bank would be governed by transparency laws adopted in 2010 that require the Fed to disclose borrowers after two years.
Fed officials argued for more than two years that releasing the identities of borrowers and the terms of their loans would stigmatize banks, damaging stock prices or leading to depositor runs. A group of the biggest commercial banks last year asked the U.S. Supreme Court to keep at least some Fed borrowings secret. In March, the high court declined to hear that appeal, and the central bank made an unprecedented release of records.
Data gleaned from 29,346 pages of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and from other Fed databases of more than 21,000 transactions make clear for the first time how deeply the world’s largest banks depended on the U.S. central bank to stave off cash shortfalls. Even as the firms asserted in news releases or earnings calls that they had ample cash, they drew Fed funding in secret, avoiding the stigma of weakness.
ALL THIS UNDOCUMENTED CRITISCM OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND SARAH PALIN SHOW THE CRITICS TO BE IGNORANT OF ANY ACCURATE OR RELATIVE INFORMATION ON THE ISSUES OUR NATION FACES. HELL! NO HUMAN IS PERFECT, ALL OF US HAVE MADE SOME MISTAKES AND BAD CHOICES IN OUR LIFETIMES. THE CRITERIA SHOULD BE DID WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM IT TO USE TO MAKE US A BETTER PERSON OR DID WE BLAME SOMEBODY ELSE. LESSONS LEARNED ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR OUR PERSONAL EVALUTION. I KNOW I MADE SOME BAD CHOICES AND DECISIONS IN MY LIFE BUT I BELIEVE THAT BY ACKNOWLEDGING THEM AND USING THE LESSONS LEARNED IN A POSITIVE WAY HAS MADE ME A BETTER PERSON.

Dr. David Kaiser
History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus..
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . ... change. And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

By passing this along, perhaps it will help to begin the awakening of America as to where we are headed.
Dear Colleague:
We urge you to join us in adding your name to the statement in support of theAmerican Laws for American Courts Act, which has been enacted in three states and has been introduced in over twenty other state legislatures. TheAmerican Laws for American Courts Act protects all American citizens and residents in state legal cases when the application of a foreign law would violate constitutional liberties.
The American Laws for American Courts Act is constitutional and “facially neutral.” It does not mention any specific religion, creed or legal doctrine, and in the two years since its introduction into state legislatures, it has never been challenged in court.
The Act‘s sole objective is to protect all U.S. citizens and residents from the application of foreign laws when the application of a foreign law will result in the violation, in the specific matter at issue, of a liberty guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States or the public policies of the state in question. Such violations would include but not be limited to infringements on due process, freedom of religion, speech, or press, equal protection, and any right of privacy or marriage as specifically defined by the constitution of the state.
Reviews of state laws provide extensive evidence that foreign laws and legal doctrines are introduced into US state court cases, including, notably, Islamic law known as Shariah, which is used in family courts and other courts in dozens of foreign Muslim-majority nations .
These foreign laws, frequently at odds with U.S. constitutional principles of equal protection and due process, typically enter the American court system through:
- Comity (mutual respect of each country’s legal system)
- Choice of law issues and
- Choice of forum or venue
Granting comity to a foreign judgment is a matter of state law, and most state and federal courts will grant comity unless the recognition of the foreign judgment wouldviolate some important public policy of the state. This doctrine, the “Void as against Public Policy Rule,” has a long and pedigreed history.
Unfortunately, because state legislatures have generally not been explicit about what their public policy is relative to foreign laws, including as an example, Shariah, the courts and the parties litigating in those courts are left to their own devices – first to know what Shariah is, and second, to understand that granting comity to a Shariah judgment may be at odds with our state and federal constitutional principles in the specific matters at issue.
The American Laws for American Courts Act is carefully limited in scope, recognizing the need to balance the protection of individual liberties with other legal principles:
- The American Laws For American Courts Act does not apply to a business that contracts to subject itself to foreign law in a jurisdiction other than the state or the United States.
- The American Laws for American Courts Act is carefully defined so as not to interfere with the right of any individual or entity to the free exercise of religion as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by the constitution of this state. For example, it would not affect the decisions of Jewish, Christian, Muslim or other ecclesiastical courts, or their enforcement, as long as those decisions did not result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the state constitution or the Constitution of the United States.
- The American Laws for American Courts Act would not conflict with any federal treaty or other international agreement to which the United States is a party.
The goal of the American Laws for American Courts Act is a clear and unequivocal application of what should be the goal of all state courts: No U.S. citizen or resident should be denied the liberties, rights, and privileges guaranteed in our constitutional republic. American Laws for American Courts is needed especially to protect women and children, identified by international human rights organizations as the primary victims of discriminatory foreign laws.
Please join our fellow Americans from across the country in signing this statement of support for American Laws for American Courts, the 21st Century civil rights initiative to ensure constitutional liberties for all Americans.
Please share this letter with leaders in your community
and your colleagues across America.

Obama never did a good deed for anyone in his entire life unless there was a buck in it for him.
He never had a real job. Just went to college on the back of affirmative action and complained about the injustice of the theoretical white man who controls the world.
This got him into the white house. Now that this lifetime complainer got into the white house nobody is supposed to complain about the ultimate complainer.
The epitome of thanklessness. At least Carter and other failures paid their dues somewhere along the way. B.O. never paid any dues. He just walked right into the white house with never helping a little old lady across the street. He probably charged his grandma to bring home a christmas tree.
His Grandmother raised him in an expensive area. Sent him to private Schools She also got him into the best colleges.
What does he do for them in return? Not a dam thing. Throws her under the bus.
He writes a book on what a great his Father was who dumped him on the curb and said he would put him up for adoption.
Wrote nothing of thanks to his white grandparents who made him the man he is today.
ultimate lowlife.

THE TEA PARTY NEEDS A CYBER BUNKER OF IT'S OWN !!
Author of the book "Where's the Birth Certificate?" Jerome Corsi gave a presentation to Surprise, Arizona Tea Party members regarding Obama's ineligibility, suppressing of birth records, passport records, school records, law practice records, senatorial records, Social Security fraud, Dreams from My Father lies, and, most importantly, proof that the Obama long-form birth certificate is a forgery. There was then a call to sign a petition to have Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio open an investigation into whether Obama's long-form birth certificate was forged. The basis for the call of an investigation is that when Obama's name is placed on the presidential ballot in 2012, if the basis for the placing of his name on the ballot is a forged document, then this constitutes election fraud within the jurisdiction of Maricopa County, giving Arpaio authority to investigate it. See the link below to watch Corsi's presentation:
I couldn't help but notice that for some reason, there is a PLETHORA of presidential candidates this time around. This is usually cited as the case for just about any election cycle by the Lame Stream Media, but this time it's a little different. The Lame Stream Media is ignoring most of this, but still...
...We really DO have a shortage of candidates.
There is an entire flotilla of eligibles out there, but they are all made of the same cloth. They say all the same things, and argue with each other over the meanings of the same things they are all saying.
They fail to address the very issues that will determine if we are to survive as a republic, or die a violent death as a newly-minted democracy, changed from the founding principles from which we were bequeathed, by elite autocrats whose true intentions are made clear only by the ignorance of those who populate that landscape of America that once fought for liberty and threw it aside for convenience, and an illusion of safety.
In other words, THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF BS OUT HERE. I read the blogs, the posts, the comments, and scratch my head in wondering...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT????
Some of these folks make just enough sense to barely qualify for the Jerry Springer Show. Others are worse...if that's possible, but I suppose it is because we can all read it and testify to it.
The electorate has awakened...and many of them are HERE...
So when a bunch of these folks jump on one, like chickens in a henhouse roost, I have to step back and wonder..."What the hell was in that feed?"..........
So I'm just going to say it...Leah Lax is the only one so far that has a lick of sense, who supports this Nation and our Rule of Law unconditionally, supports the Nation of Isreal, and supports the Founding Documents of this country without an entire hodge-podge of concillatory hoopla designed to do nothing but distract from a real agenda.
I don't agree with this candidate on everything, but then again, I don't always agree WITH MYSELF on everything until I've thought it out. There needs to be a concerted focus in this country to reclaim the rule of law, remove these criminals who have USURPED our Rule of Law, and PROSECUTE THEM, no benefits included.
To date, I have yet to find, in all the "ponies" at the starting gate, one...JUST ONE...that is willing, or has been willing, to stand up for this nation and our Founding Principles like Leah Lax has, and is, doing.
I see the attacks, the slander, innuendo, and all that 2nd-grade crap. And that's the 1st Ammendment that I'm proud of and will always fight for.
Just don't go crying and nay-saying when it doesn't fit your agenda and you are bested by another...
...whoever that may be.
Stay Patriots, and God Bless the United States of America
