The current clowns that are running in the R primary have no chance of beating Oblahblah.  

There was only one person that actually  fired up conservatives and that was Donald Trump.  However, he jumped ship after he realized ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC, and CNBC were going to attack him and his family for the next 18 months.  Not only that the Rep elite ( Karl Rover) (Rush Pinball) did not want an outsider come in and disrupt their heritage foundation party train.

Finally, if I hear Sean Hannity and Fox campaigning for Bachman one more time and stating she represents me and the tea party I will puke.  

Posted on The Daily Caller-By Alexis Levinson-On May 30, 2011:

“Approval for Barack Obama’s job performance as president is lower among veterans and active US military than it is among non-military, according to a poll released Monday by Gallup.

The results, which came from data from Gallup’s daily tracking poll of Obama’s job approval, are based on interviews with over 238,000 respondents between January 2010 and April 2011.

On average, 48 percent of non-military personnel surveyed over that time period approved of the job Obama was doing, while just 37 percent of active military or veterans approved.

That trend persists among all age groups, the analysis found. The spread is most pronounced among 18 to 29 year olds, a group that tends to have a highly favorable view of this president’s performance. 58 percent of non-military in that age group approves of the job Obama is doing, but just 44 percent of veterans or active military felt that way.

The lowest spread is among those aged 80 to 99, where 43 percent of the general public approves of the job Obama is doing, compared to 37 percent of veterans or active military personnel – presumably mostly veterans in that age group.

Gallup notes that those currently serving active duty in the military have a noticeably higher likelihood of declining to state an opinion on Obama’s job performance. For instance, 21 percent of active duty military aged 18 to 29 did not express an opinion, compared to just 10 percent of non-military. A possible factor in this, Gallup Editor in Chief Frank Newport writes, is the military culture of nonpartisanship, especially when dealing with the Commander in Chief. Alternatively, “[t]hose on active duty may in general be less involved in current affairs and thus less likely to hold an opinion on Obama.”

Women are more likely to approve of Obama’s performance. However, in any given age group surveyed by Gallup, no more than 3 percent of military personnel or veterans were women. Older age groups are more likely to be active or former military – a fact that seems likely due to the existence of the draft before 1973.

Current or former members of the military are more likely to be Republicans, the poll notes.

The results come from analysis of polls conducted before President Obama ordered the successful killing of Osama Bin Laden. The president received a bump in his approval ratings from the general public after that, and it seems likely that the same would be true – potentially more so – among veterans or active military.”

Fraud, Waste and Abuse in the Federal Government has been going on for many years and that is part of the reason that the United States is going broke.  Instead of having the federal civil service do the job they were hired for, the Federal Government has been contracting out those jobs at a cost of three (3) times, (Yes Virginia...you read that correctly ... three (3) times) the normal cost it would have cost the taxpayers if the civil service were allowed to do the work.  Why would they contract out the work that can be easily done internally by the civil servants.  One of the reasons is to benefit their friends and supporters.  Another is that civil service management is too lazy to roll up their sleeves to manage government employees properly and firmly.  Another is contractors are putting enormous pressure on the Federal Government to generate contracts for which there is little or no need.  I am sure that there are other reasons.  Some contracts are legitimate in that the civil service does not have the extraordinary skills to do the job.  Even some of those jobs can be learned over a period of years by civil servants which ultimately will result in a terrific savings to the taxpayers.  The sad part of this fraud, waste and abuse of the taxpayers money is that both parties are guilty of this contracting/economic nightmare.  Of course, the Contractors have to spread propaganda that the federal civil service is too mentally challenged to perform these contractual jobs.  More lies and BS from those who would benefit monetarily from the contracting policies of the United State Government.

My book has been published 11-30-10 and you can purchase it online www.trafford.com/bookstore just check for the listing for my book for searching. $10.77  A lot of the things we are going threw are in my book.  The health insurance repeal has not happen yet.  The budget crisis has not been fixed.  Will we have to have something like a Kaddidlehopper Bill to get the country's fiscal house in order?

William Quayle

The Tea Party, a political cause for conservatives, is great.  As a World War II veteran who saw combat in Germany, who saw with my own eyes the victims of the Holocaust, he who protects Ameica, who protects him?  Are we going to endure yet another Holocaust?  For what purpose was my sacrifice?

My conservative philosophy fits the Tea Party. I’m neither for the Republican mainstream nor for Democrats.  But this says little about my philosophy.  I assume that most conservatives are religious. Democrats call it the “religious right.”  I’m not religious.  I assume most conservatives are conformist. I’m not.  It is going to take more than religion and conformists—political conservatives—to turn the ship of state around. We are heading for the rocks. It is going to take true liberals, the kind who gave us our America, the pioneers who faced an unknown future with optimism, energy, and the belief in self, the kind of American today’s liberals don’t know, and as well many conservatives. We don't know what my generation knows.

It is going to take a new approach to life, the approach the American pioneer had. That is where I excel. I’ve been through the school of hard knocks.  I have lots of experience.  I’ve learned my lessons well. If life could be any better, I don’t know how. Now in the twilight of life, this is my time to be of universal service.

Shall we say, my born again life began on Good Friday, 1975, the day we commemorate as the day Christ was hung from the cross. I arrived in Miami, Florida on Easter Sunday for the first day of a new life.  Although I didn’t think about it at the time, it was an omen of things to come for me, something to look back on with awe.

There was also this about my departure.  By chance, I’d met an astrologer and had him create my astrological chart.   It didn’t fit. I didn’t think much of it.  I grew into my chart. Now it fits like a hand in a glove.  A study of astrology tells me at the time of my departure, Uranus, my ruling planet, had transited to a position opposing itself when I was born, when I was in my forties. I departed when I was 49, when the opposition of Uranus to itself said I’d be under pressure to change my life.  There is also this about my departure.  I was born with Aquarius on the rise. This means that as I aged I’d become more Aquarian in nature.  The symbol of Aquarius is the water-bearer.  There are a lot of coincidences about my departure, too many as far as I’m concerned, to be coincidence.

Although I was not aware at the time of my departure, there had to be a purpose.  Prior to my departure, I had read the Constitution and studied the procedure for challenging my income tax.  When I read the Constitution, I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me.  I had a bigger than life calling. This figures in with the time of my departure.   

My astrological chart gives me this so-called trine, an angular alignment between Saturn, the learning planet with Pluto, the generational planet  that says in Astrologer’s Handbook I would have the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized.  And just by coincidence, in November, 2008, the month and year Obama was elected President, Saturn went into angular opposition with Pluto. Astrologer’s Handbook says this means serious karmic problems—victims of oppression, cruelty, and other harsh treatment, usually because of personal connection with adverse conditions of mass destiny. Ah yes, we’ve got that big time. Too bad about Israel.

On the other hand, with Saturn trine Pluto, says Astrologer’s Handbook, I would make fundamental changes in my life and others lives. “Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill.”

Over the past ten years, I’ve written hundreds of blogs on the meaning of my life experience, and many on this Tea Party blog.  It isn’t something others know or think about, but, strangely, it fits. The same as I,  America faces an unknown future.  Does my personal experience mean anything?  If life could be any better for me, I don’t know how.

Something else I’ve learned in the past 10 years, my Christian teaching misinterpreted Christ’s teachings.  The God my Christian teaching gave me did zero for me.  In fact, it was a hindrance.  After I’d successfully made a life of my own, with no one’s help, I started reading the Bible, and wondered how people could be so misled.  For instance, in the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus said in earth as it is in heaven, followed by you can’t serve two masters, followed by “seek ye first the kingdom of God.”  Christians believe in pie in the sky, and you’ve got to tithe to get there.  Isn’t that what got Jesus crucified?  He turned over the moneychangers tables.  People were exchanging their gold and silver coins for worthless priest coinage for the purpose of getting pie in the sky.  As always, it is setting up a fraudulent system to rob the individual of his power, to enhance the power of control freaks.  From this we get war.  Does God favor the victor of war?  I think of God as the creator of life, life that knows reason and logic, something religion does not know.  Religion knows doctrines and dogmas that include a supernatural God; that is, anything man wants to make God.

I had tried so hard to do the right thing. Nobody knew how hard I tried.  I had been a good citizen, generously given of myself.  Nobody appreciated all that I had done.  The world is so cruel.  I was angry at my government.  I lashed out at the IRS.  Everyone knows that the IRS is no one to mess with.  I didn’t know that.  I beat the IRS.  But more than that, I had a calling to be more than a poor me the world kicked in the butt.  I discovered the real me. After that, when everything should have gone wrong, everything went right.  

From whence did I come?  I believe the kingdom of God is in me, that I’m a God-self.  Why do I need to live in guilt, or to pay to get to a non-existent place, as though an almighty Wizard in Heaven knows infinitely more than any man.  Why of course, the divine put that idea in us?  What could be more demeaning?  No, it is not the Muslim Brotherhood, or the divine in Washington, D.C., according to my Constitution.  I’ve good news. I’m here for a worthy purpose in my own right. When I die, my God-self returns without the help of a manmade almighty Wizard, to a fictious place called Heaven.   

Why is the Middle East going up in flames? Why is the world now tottering on the edge of a financial precipice? Jesus said to the religious of all faiths in Mt. 7:5: “First cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Then when you pray, said Jesus, “ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find” (Mt. 7:7).

We are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and the God of our future. As in any birth, there is pain. The road to a world living in peace and prosperity stretches before us to a new horizon.  In Astrologer’s Handbook, under Aquarius, we read, “Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy. Since the planet Uranus rules Aquarius, friendship and companionship are extremely important to Aquarians. Those who Aquarians befriend have their unswerving loyalty.”  The Age of Aquarius is the equivalent of the second coming of Christ.

A Tribute to Our Veterans, all!

Where ever the seeds of democracy take root, they are always watered with the blood of American hero's! Those hero's who gave their life, limbs, and time to uphold the Constitution, to remove tyranny, and to retard communism. They laid their lives down on the alter of freedom, for us, and others to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our founders wrote the Constitution ...:In order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Our hero's enshrined those words on our hearts and minds, written by the finger of God dipped in their blood. God Bless America! Thank you veterans, all!

May we all remember freedom isn't free! And, we all owe it to those that perished on the alter of freedom to remove domestic tyranny whenever and where ever it rears its ugly head. Allowing one instance of any form of tyranny to remain in the United States is an insult, a disgrace, and a slap in the face to all those that paid to remove it.

WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Posted on Canada Free Press-By Move America Forward-On May 27, 2011:

“In the latest and most outrageous move, the Obama administration wants to cut pay and/or benefits for our troops and their families, even those deployed overseas fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to reign in budgetary spending.

It’s the classic game that the liberals play whenever they are in power – they are always quick to claim they support the troops, but the military is always first on the chopping block. Yesterday Secretary of Defense Robert Gates revealed that the Obama Administration was considering cutting military paychecks when he said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute.

“The defense secretary said the strategic review could require politicians to look at other uncomfortable choices, including pay levels for service members, new approaches for retirement and pensions, or higher healthcare costs for working-age retirees.” - David Alexander, Reuters 24 MAY 2011

Thanks to the Obama Administration, the gilded age where America supported it’s troops in times of war may be coming to an end, and this commander-in-chief may be asking our troops to fight two wars while at the same time GIVING UP pay, and benefits both for themselves, their spouses and their children!

DON’T LET OBAMA CUT OUR TROOPS PAYCHECKS!MAKE A DONATION TO MAF TO HELP US PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND STOP THIS INSANE IDEA!

At Move America Forward we advocate on behalf of our troops and their missions in the war on terror, and that goes beyond sending care packages to the troops on the front lines. We will stand and fight the Administration on this because it’s unconscionable to ask our troops to take a pay cut while there are a million other places in the budget to cut. Our troops deserve fair and decent compensation, and they deserve for their families to be taken care of after what they sacrifice for us every day!

If you ever wonder about what our troops go through for our sake, just remember where they are serving – it’s almost June now, and these troops are out in the middle of the desert in Baghdad where temperatures reach blazing triple digits on a daily basis.

Afghanistan also reaches extreme temperatures, even worse because it has extreme highs in the summer and extreme cold snaps in the winter.

With Memorial Day coming up this Monday, we must show that we support our troops, and in high temperatures like these, our troops are going to need these care packages! Each care package comes with Gatorade to help cool off our troops and keep them hydrated in the hot desert sun!

MEMORIAL DAY IS ALMOST HERE! SEND A CARE PACKAGE WITH SOME GATORADE FOR OUR THIRSTY TROOPS NOW!

Can you imagine what it would feel like to be serving overseas, fighting the war on terror in Iraq or Afghanistan, far away from your family, and then you receive a letter in from your own Government, saying that your paycheck is going to get cut and the prescription medicine for your kid’s ear infection that used to get covered by your militaryhealthcare plan is now going to have to be paid out of pocket and there’s nothing you can do about it because you’re 6,700 miles away from home dodging bullets and trying to shoot back and kill these crazy radical Islamic terrorists!

It’s a slap in the face to our military for the Obama administration to be pushing for this, and it is despicable that Defense Secretary Robert Gates is doing the dirty work for President Obama and breaking the news to the troops who have served under him. What a horrid legacy to leave. He will retire next month on this weak note of failure to find a more suitable place to cut the $500 million that Obama has demanded the Pentagon cut.”

Note:  The following article and/or blog post reveals that Gates is also targeting Veteran retirement pay and healthcare-You Decide:

Gates Targets Retirement, Health Care!-Posted on MOAA.org-On May 27, 2011:

In a speech at the American Enterprise Institute this week Defense Secretary Robert Gates reiterated his assertion that DoD needs to fundamentally change the way it does business. 

He said procurement overhaul already has produced significant savings, and identified force size and structure, military compensation, retirement, and health care as additional targets for budget cuts to achieve a planned $400 billion in DoD budget savings over the next 10 years.

Gates launched a comprehensive review of DoD’s future needs last week to identify specific recommendations. Among the specifics he cited were:

• Lowering military compensation in light of strong recruiting and retention numbers 
• Eliminating the “one size fits all” military retirement system in favor of a tiered and targeted retirement system that weights compensation towards the most in-demand specialties 
• Increasing health care cost-sharing for working-age retirees

Considering the staggering debt facing the nation, the reality is that anything the government spends money on is going to come under great pressure for cutbacks in coming years. 


But it’s troubling to hear Pentagon leadership citing the same old arguments that led to short-sighted changes of the 1970s, ‘80s, and ‘90s that ultimately caused significant retention and readiness problems. 



Sustaining pay comparability – through good budget times and bad – is a fundamental underpinning of the all-volunteer force. We’ve spent the last decade recovering from the follies of the past. Cutting back on military pay every year we experience satisfactory recruiting and retention is a proven method to create future retention problems. It’s the equivalent of driving a car by looking only in the rear-view mirror. Sooner or later, you’re going to crash. 



On the retirement front, the country should thank its lucky stars it has the current 20-year retirement system, because it’s the primary reason we’ve been able to sustain the force through the last decade of war. The last retirement reform – the REDUX system of 1986 that cut lifetime retirement value by 22% for subsequent entrants – had to be repealed after it caused retention problems.

Now DoD budgeteers envision saving money by cutting retirement even more than REDUX did – by making military people fund more of their own retirement, delaying eligibility for retired pay until age 57 or later, and changing the retirement contribution every year based on the shortage skills of the time. They propose making it “fairer” by vesting military retirement benefits after 10 years of service. 



But this system would blatantly take money from people who serve a career to pay people who leave early, creating a retention and readiness time bomb. 



If you had 10 years of service, were facing a fourth tour to Afghanistan, and were given the choice of separating with a pro-rata retirement or being required to keep serving until age 57 to earn a regular retirement (knowing the military will still want to push most people off active duty well before that age), what would you do? 



Budget-cutters always focus on short-term fiscal needs, recognizing that any negative consequences will be their successors’ problem to solve. 

Their fatal flaw, from a national readiness standpoint, is that they plan for the best-case scenario, when a volatile real-world never follows that scenario (see the “Quote of the Week” sidebar in this legislative update). 



While all military compensation programs are going to come under very close budget scrutiny, MOAA will focus on reminding Congress of the lessons (hopefully) learned from past ill-considered cutbacks.

Observing Memorial Day:

It goes without saying that this is a special weekend for all members of the uniformed services and veteran’s community. Memorial Day carries a particular significance for MOAA members and families when our Nation is at war. Please keep all service members, veterans, survivors, and their families in your thoughts.

If you’re traveling this weekend, please do so safely. Your family, your compatriots in uniform, and your country still need you.”

“Food For Thought”

“God Bless & Keep Our Troops & Their Families Safe”

Semper Fi!

Jake

When I was a child, I was very insecure and impressed by what by what adults thought.  I was made to feel that God was looking down at me from Heaven and frowning at my sinful thoughts.  I wished so that I could be in control of my life.  That was not to be.  At age 49, my business enterprise was on the rocks and my second wife was divorcing me. I felt that my life was over.  I was forced to change. I cut from the herd and went on my own, according to everyone I knew, not the thing to do.  No one wished me well, and especially the IRS.  They took from me what was not theirs to take.  I’d nobody to blame but myself. I had the gall to tell Uncle Sam in a letter to the Attorney General that the United States was unconstitutional in its tax collection practices.  I had notions  about tax that most would have said were psychotic.  Common sense says you don’t question the income tax.  Everyone must pay his fair share of the tax burden, like it or not.  

Coincidentally, I departed my north Texas home on Good Friday, March 1975, and arrived in Miami on Easter Sunday for the first day of my new life.  Since I’d been self-employed, I was not government entitled to unemployment pay.  I was forced to immediately find work.  America was in a deep recession in 1975, yet on my third phone call I found work. Down the street from my one-room pad, there was a mile-long food stamp line.  Why work on jobs like I took when you were better off to collect unemployment benefits—out of my meager pay.

Since I was single with no deductions, a substantial part of my wages was withheld by my employer to pay Uncle Sam, who was redistributing  the revenue to certain people who were not working.  

I could not make ends meet with my take-home pay.  I was locked out of my room for non-payment of rent, not a good thing for entry-level workers struggling to get a foothold, and especially for this 49 year-old.  Uncle Sam does not make this fact of life for millions of workers known.  Legal but lawless, Uncle Sam cares not about making people like me homeless.   Nazi law was the same.  The good of all is all that counts.  A revolution is taking place.  People being taken by corrupt politicians are causing the world to go through a radical change.   

Nobody I’ve heard in American politics  seems to know what I know, whether they be advocates of, especially, the religious right, or conservative, or liberal, or independent. I’m a voice thousands are hearing and on which they  comment favorably (at www.mymiraclemessage.com ).  The truth, stranger than fiction, is something most people are terribly reluctant to hear. Most, especially liberals, prefer to live in hope. How many times have I heard from liberals, “we can hope,” or “pray for peace,” or “just give Obama a chance; he inherited Bush’s abomination?”   Rationalize till the cows come home. It doesn’t change the facts. America is going down the tube. For every rich citizen, there are a hundred poor citizens, and the poor are getting poorer, and more dependent on government. Will we never learn that government entitlement is against natural law?

In the second chapter of The Gospel According to St. Matthew,  The Visit of the Magi; that is, the visit the “three wise men,” Persian priests—astrologers—in those days advisors of rulers, they arrived in Jerusalem saying, “where is he that is born King of Jews?” When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all of Jerusalem.   We read that Herod gathered the chief priests and scribes of the people, those who read the stars and advised kings.  Herod demanded of them to let him know where Jesus would be born.  They told Herod Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, that a new star had appeared over Bethlehem.   So we read, the Magi were led by the Star of Bethlehem to the Christ-child’s birthplace.

In the sixth chapter of Matthew, concerning prayer,  Jesus told his following, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven (heaven spelled with a small h).” Then Jesus rebuked external authority.  “That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father, which is in secret (and not in a place called Heaven), and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. . .” Jesus, with regard to the kingdom, said, “Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon earth. . .but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven (with a small h), for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. . .”  Jesus went on to say, “No man can serve two masters.” Quite obviously, Jesus had reference to external authority, for he followed with, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God.”  Jesus clearly distinguished  heaven and earth as different than the kingdom of God.  Thus, thy kingdom come, whose will be done in earth as it is in heaven?  The kingdom of God lies in our hearts and souls.  You don’t listen and do what authority tells you to do. Jesus didn’t listen and do what the priests and scribes told him to do. Instead, Jesus turned over the moneychangers tables in the temple, the source of the priests and scribes revenue.  Why wasn’t I taught this in my Christian religion?  It wasn’t my sins that got Jesus hung from the cross.  I wasn’t “born in sin.”  I was born innocent.  What the clergy teaches about Jesus is quite different than what Jesus taught.  It’s a control thing.

As a Christian, I was taught that Adam and Eve were disobedient to God’s command. They were not to partake in the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  The Serpent told Eve if she ate from said tree she would have the knowledge of the gods.  What life on earth knows not evil?  All life save humans.  God, the authority, wants us to know only good. Nice work if you can get it.  Obey authority—be animals jumping through hoops—for  authority knows what is good for us; we, the people, don’t. Yes, President Obama’s edict will bring us “collective salvation,” and put an end to Israel in the process—for the good of all.  

Should we blindly trust authority, religious or otherwise, give up our own lives?  Jesus made it quite clear that your pie is not in the sky but in your heart and soul.  And where does your Constitution leave authority?  “We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”  Those words say authority is subject to the will of the people, not its will.   So why not?

America was not founded on the Judeo-Christian faith. In God we trust—in the Higher Law, the background of the Constitution, in natural law, for, “We are born for justice, and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion but an institution of nature.” Cicero.  “We are the law’s slaves that we may be free.”

Jesus taught that we are our brother’s keeper.  “We” do not yet know who we are and why we are here.  External authority, be it religious or secular, thinks it is here to help us do the best we can.  In so doing, authority robs the individual of his rights and responsibilities.  What chance do we have of being our sacred selves?

In 1975, I was forced to make a change.  I started over, coincidentally, on Easter Sunday, to build a new life. The world was against me.

In principle, government entitlement is no different that Nazi law—some entitled, some not—by the will of power.  Anything can be seen as good for all by those in control, including taking all power away, that which the Creator gave the individual.  Thomas Jefferson wrote on this in the Declaration of Independence.  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,” God-given rights, those in the heart and soul.   

Once the gate is opened and the horse is out it is hard to get him back.  Once you give a politician power over you, it is next to impossible to get it back.  Politicians are for the good of all at your individual expense.   Consequently, when I began anew to make a life, as an entry level worker, as a single with no deductions, my withholding tax deprived me of a basic existence.  That is not good for entry-level workers.  It is not good for non-workers.  It is good for authority.  Nobody else counts. We are pawns.  It gives authority control, authority with the ability to borrow against future taxpayers unlimitedly.  It is not good now or ever, butt it is being done by the people the Tea Party elected. You can’t depend on any of them.   Money goes where money flows. The rich get richer; the poor get poorer by means of government entitlement.  But, pray tell me, why would mindless, power hungy government want to rid itself of the uncontrolled growth of power?  Uncontrolled, government, like a cancer, will grow until it kills the society it governs.  History is replete with examples.

There is no valid reason why an individual of sound mind and body should receive a government entitlement.  It is not God’s will. It is not written in the Constitution, or even implied. All any student of the law can rightly say is that government entitlement is the law of might makes right.  At the present, government entitlement is America’s biggest bone of contention.  With more than half of the people benefitting from government entitlement, the majority vote keeps the greatest fraud of all times in place, and currently bankrupting the nation morally, spiritually, and fiscally.  

No one can give you the answer that will save you from a coming disaster the likes of which the world has never seen, but here’s the good news.  Jesus was here at the beginning of the Age of Pisces. Pisces people are extremely responsive to other people, the way I was before my change.  They desperately want to do the right thing, exactly the way I was. Why didn’t the people I was associated with know that?  Pisces people are easily influenced by external factors, the way I was.  It is par for the course, their symbol two attached fish swimming in opposite directions. We are now in a war that will end all wars.

Astrologers say that in my forties I’d be inclined to change my immature way of life.  When I was 49, I cut from the herd and went strictly on my own.  I discovered the real me.  I was reborn.  Astrologer’s Handbook says  that “individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.”  We are at the dawn of the age when peace and good will abound.

My beloved friends and love one ones in the United States and around the world, I am sending this urgent message to you asking for your support on a very important issue involving a young woman who was attacked and brutalized by Georgia law-enforcement. In that incident her unborn child was viciously murdered. On March 02, 2011, I suffered while resting in the comfort of her Jonesboro Georgia home, committed no crimes,  out of the blue my home was surrounded by swat teams and officers from three different law-enforcement agencies within Clayton county. She was terrorizes; she called 911 frantic for hekp but 911 dispachers were so cruel to this young womam, they threatened her and went as far as telling her not to call back. She was denied critical emergency services rgat could have saved the lives of her unborn child. 

 Hoverer, when she was trapped into her home with nowhere to go and no one to help, this pregnant victim was left to suffer some of the worse, if not the worse brutality in recent history.  Her front door was kicked in and she was brutally attacked in her home by all male officers whom held me at gun point, and tortured her. She was photographed naked before my children and was brutalized to the point where she started bleeding ot the scene,  resulted into the vicious murder of her unborn child "Baby Angel"
.
To date, this young woman had filed numerous complaints with Attorney General Eric Holder and state law-enforcement agencies.  She had also written numerous letters to President Obama asking the president  to insure that a thorough investigation is is completed into this case. But until present, no investigation has been conducted an no one is held accounted for these egregious crimes.  To the contrary, this innocent victim was framed and set up to stand trial on 15 fraudulent charges that carries maximum penalty of fifteen years in prison and 15 thousand dollars in fines. Please copy and paste the following link to your computer and sign her petition calling upon the attorney general to investigate this gruesome murder.
