Democrats urge unions to 'get a little bloody when necessary'
Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Statehouse News. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
Political observers have been the lookout for potentially incendiary rhetoric in the wake of January's shooting in Tucson, Ariz., where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) survived an assassination attempt, six were killed, and 12 others were injured.
On Wednesday afternoon, Capuano issued a brief apology: "I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech. I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words."
Political rhetoric has become especially heated in Madison, Wis., where Republican Gov. Scott Walker has proposed major labor reforms that sparked more than a week's worth of rowdy protests at the state capitol.
"We take security seriously, whether it's for me, the lieutenant governor and all 132 members of the state legislature, Democrats or Republicans alike, because there's a lot of passion down here," Walker said Tuesday on MSNBC about his safety in Wisconsin. "And particularly when we see people coming in being bussed in from other states, that's what worries us."
Capuano made his remarks before a crowd of union members in Boston, along with other members of the state's congressional delegation. Massachusetts has an influential union population that could loom large over the 2012 Senate race. Capuano is considering getting in that race to challenge Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) next fall.
“This is going to be a struggle at least for the next two years. Let’s be serious about this. They’re not going to back down and we’re not going to back down. This is a struggle for the hearts and minds of America,” Capuano told union members.

Hey Soul Sister
“What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick!” And with that shot over the bow at the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin announced her arrival on to the national political stage. From her position as a relatively unknown Governor of Alaska, Palin launched one of the most exciting Vice Presidential candidacies in U.S. history.
From the completion of that speech, even before McCain lost to Obama, there was the question about her aspirations regarding the Presidency. Will Sarah Run? And that question is still outstanding today. Although she hasn’t announced, she’s made several moves to improve her position if she does decide to run. She’s now a frequent commentator on Fox News, has written several books, has had a brief series on cable television on TLC, formed her own Political Action Committee, and most importantly threw her support behind many individuals in their respective state level candidacies. Yes, Sarah is collecting “chips”. Continue...
The ancient sages of India said, so is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm. The cutting edge of science says that beyond the local forces of gravity and electromagnetism, there exists a supreme consciousness, without limit; that the observer emerges as the co-equal in the foundry of creation. That’s the diametric opposite of what is being taught.
The old guard is desperately clinging to a past that is slipping away. A look at the past and present tells me the story that on earth it is the same as in heaven, because I’ve now learned that earth and heaven are dimensional; that matter is governed by immutable laws. Also, I learn, these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind.
Speaking of the selection of the mind, if in the beginning one falsely identifies the situation, if one makes the false identification his reality, it evokes a new behavior which makes the original false conception come true. We’ve been living through an age in which people have been easily influenced and the false has become true. These folks desperately want to do the right thing, but don’t have strong wills; they are prone to accept external factors. One example is when Peter three times denied Jesus. This is the way it is in the Age of Pisces. Up jumps Ahmadenijad. The fool doesn’t know whether he is coming or going. He makes no sense. But what do you expect when you have Islamic extremist lords in control. Pisces has for its symbol two attached fish swimming in opposite directions. It indicates people that have a hard time making up their minds, which gives rise to control freaks. Not good, but they are not long for this world. Their days are numbered.
We read that we are moving into the Age of Aquarius, whose symbol is the water-bearer. We read that it is an age of brotherhood, fraternity, and spiritual growth. Therefore, it would be natural for the world to be in its present state of turmoil and uncertainty. We will surely go through a period of hardship, but it isn’t going to last long. There is too much movement. Beyond the hardship is a world living in peace and harmony, without coercive government, but with voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principle mode of organized society. My dictionary defines it as anarchy. The other options are the Islamic Brotherhood and Communism.
Be that as it may, there is no consensus of opinion of where the “whole nine yards” comes from, so here is my view. It involves the buildup of what we are witness to in today’s world. It all began in September 1925, in the month and year I was born, in the “Roaring Twenties.” (see my video at www.youtube.com/user/inlink1)
In 1973, I had purchased (for one dollar) in a secondhand law book store The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law by Edward S. Corwin, published in 1925. My second wife was divorcing me and my business enterprise of 25 years was on the rocks. The same as in the world today, I had no idea of what the future held for me.
I blamed my sorry fate on the Federal Government. With price controls, it had shown favoritism toward the biggest corporations in the lumber industry, at the independent’s expense. Thousands of we independents in the lumber industry were put out of business. So what else is new? It’s a game. Favoritism toward the biggest corporations and labor unions, especially public employee unions, all of it at the expense of independents and the taxpayers, it’s the number one greatest fraud of all times, is it any wonder that the Mid-East calls the United States the Great Satin? Face it: we are the Great Satin. We are now facing the consequences.
Politicians are hiding out. Are you kidding me? This is not legitimate governing. The United States is becoming the world’s laughing stock, it’s population crybabies incapable of common sense solutions.
The situation was out of control in 1974. I was experiencing government caused double digit inflation. I was forced to sell land to meet expenses. I made no capital gain on the sale, but the sleazy, lawless boobs in control didn’t allow for inflation, at the same time giving the government entitled cost of living increases. My government has become the biggest, most costly crook the world has ever seen. The results have been disastrous for those of us earning our own keep. But the dumbed down population did not see what had happened. Is that not the same as the Egyptians and Brotherhood, the biggest religious fraud in the world? What’s the difference in political fraud and religious fraud?
I decided to constitutionally challenge the IRS. I went to the county law library to study my constitutional rights and the legal procedure for taking the IRS to court. While reading my rights, I had the feeling that voices of the past were speaking to me. My anger at the Federal Government was sublimated. I had a bigger than life calling.
Not by choice, I departed on Good Friday 1975, the day Christians commemorate as the day Jesus was crucified, arriving in Miami, Florida on Easter Sunday for the first day of my new life. I wasn’t a Christian. None of this had a thing to do with my reason for departing. Therefore, my departure had great meaning for all of us—Christians, Jews, and Muslims. It was an omen of the future we now face.
The Bible bears witness to one God. Unlike the Koran, the Bible is one continuous story. To Israel, let me say the Bible is dedicated to humanity in relation to God, from the beginning to end one great theme, the person and work of Christ. Israel currently sits in the midst of people so filled with hate that they want every Jew in Israel dead. That shouldn’t be. Something has to be wrong. The wrong is in the story of Israel, past, present, and if there is a future for Israel: (1) be a witness to the unity of God; (2) illustrate to the nations the greater blessedness of serving the one true God; (3) receive and preserve Divine revelation. Isreal, you are deep trouble.
The whole purpose of Israel was to produce the Messiah, a Savior and Lord. God put his only son here for Israel’s sake. You failed to do what God put you here to do. I come as an Aquarian messenger. Get right with God. Otherwise, Israel is not long for this world.
Searching for my true identity, I went to sea for two years, sailing in the Bermuda Triangle on a 37 foot sailboat I named Bold Venture. There have been hundreds of mysterious disappearances in the Triangle. I was out there on my own, facing all that nature could throw at me. Not only was my own life saved from a watery grave, but I saved six other people’s lives. I was saved for a great purpose. When I studied the Constitution, I had a bigger than life calling. The number one in the whole nine yards: Jesus’ hand was on my wheel.
At sea, I discovered the real me and my destiny. The number two in the whole nine yards; by chance, after I discovered the real me at sea, when I returned I found the right life mate for me.
After Karen and I came together, our lives became quiet diversified. Diversification, the spice of life, is the number three in the whole nine yards.
My legal cause for justice against the biggest crook on the panet kept me in court 11 years, first in the Tax Court, then three District Courts in all, including the U. S. Court of Appeals, and the U. S. Supreme Court, and all to no avail, other than the sorry record I took it to The Palm Beach Post. A front page story was printed, the IRS eating crow throughout. Justice is the number four in the whole nine yards.
My life, after I cut from the herd, became exciting. The number five of the whole nine yards is freedom. In April 1999, Karen and I purchased and RV and lived in it full time for nine great years. Home was wherever we were. There is nothing that could equal the experience. Our lives together have been full and balanced, in harmony with nature (see my videos on youtube). Karen and I have been truly blessed.
Being close to nature, and in close companionship in our RV, our lives full of beauty and harmony, the need of a place to call home brought us to the tall timber near Mt. Hood, Oregon, where we bought our dream home. This represents the number six in the whole nine yards.
For the most part isolated from the rest of the world, our new home gave me time to seek answers. This is the number seven in the whole nine yards.
Add up all the foregoing; it was empowering. From a jumping off place where I could have fallen into the abyss, I’ve gained full control of my life. This is the number eight in the whole nine yards.
How could anyone ask for more? Where do I go from here? The number nine of the whole nine yards is selflessness. Encompassing a love for all, it desires to apply its energy to universal service.
“Showcased” Obama-Endorsed Green Company
Wasted $ 390 Million in Stimulus Funds
Here’s one more story the mainstream-lamestream media won’t cover. Is that thirty-six or thirty-seven major scandals or lies within Mr. Obama’s corrupt administration we’ve been spared?***
As the country once again moves toward $4 a gallon gasoline, this time with an anti-oil administration running the Oval Office which swore to create five million green tech jobs and begin the end of oil dependency, do you remember that $787 Billion Obama stimulus that was supposed to keep unemployment below 8%? A green-tech company that raised huge amounts of money for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, which then became the poster-boy for his green-tech initiatives and the first company to receive Obama stimulus money, Solyndra, Inc. of Fremont, California, has it turns out wasted at least $390 million of $535 Million of federal Stimulus funds.
Solyndra, which received three ringing TV appearance endorsements personally from Vice-President Joe Biden and two from Obama himself, is now the subject of a congressional investigation into waste, fraud and abuse by the House Energy and Commerce Committee which has revealed that the company was not eligible for a loan guarantee which the company stated would help them create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent green jobs in the manufacture of solar panels. Solyndra is also closing plants instead of opening new ones. The oversight committee has also revealed details of an $800,000 ad campaign designed to promote good eating habits which might have created 2.5 advertising jobs, but did nothing seriously to fight unemployment. While the advertising company did turn a profit from the stimulus, Solyndra has never turned a profit during the six years of its existence despite being a pet project for Oklahoma billionaire George Kaiser who did a better job as a major campaign fund raiser for Obama-Biden 2008 then he did running a green-tech company.
Mattie Corrao, government affairs manager with Americans for Tax Reform, said the Solyndra loan shows how hollow Obama’s promise to “keep close track over how stimulus money has been spent” has proven itself. “They (the Obama administration) are trying to pretend we’re creating jobs and hoping the taxpayers are dumb enough and blind enough to believe the lie,” Corrao said. “After two years of unemployment about 9 percent, people aren’t going to believe it anymore.” Because of the close personal connection between Kaiser and Obama, Corrao says the loan should never have been considered in the first place. No Solyndra officials would speak with conservative reporters about the story.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
*** Let’s count backwards, OK? But first, when you go to:
http://conservativeamerican.org/obama-administration-scandals-list/page-one-1-50/
You’ll find a 40-page list of the stories that the mainstream media has refused to cover or investigate about president Obama’s administration; their associations; their lies; their failures etc. Stories which, if a conservative were involved, would have each rated about two weeks coverage . . . judge for yourself. It begins with him seeking 1995 political endorsement in Chicago from the coalition (of ACORN and the union SEIU) which called itself: the “Marxist New Party.” Obama at the time was an ACORN attorney browbeating and shaking down lenders to get them to comply with the deliberate-bad-loans requirement of the CRA-77 legislation that led to the subprime crisis that eventually bankrupted the country and caused the financial meltdown in late 2007. His rant on “White Folks Greed” is actually a quote of Jeremiah Wright (the pastor he says he never listened to while spending 20 years in his church) which Obama put in his own book “Dreams from my Father” . . . runs through 175 appointment scandals (44 Czars never vetted by the Senate or FBI include at least 35 with acknowledged communist ties) . . . etc., etc. How can the mainstream media refuse to show this guy’s true stripes?
Here is a list of ten key stories taken at random by Rajjpuut that 95% of Americans have never heard about because the liberal press refuses to bring this guy’s very suspect record up for examination. He’s their darling and they will protect him. Here are the stories and the nature of the scandal involved:
10. Solyndra: stimulus money goes to firm of major Obama fundraiser. $390 million of the $535 million stimulus money is wasted and 4,000 promised jobs are NOT created. CRONY-CAPITALISM
9. Third revelation of General Motors and Chrysler closing down profitable car dealerships owned by Republican donors so that nearby failing or barely profitable dealerships owned by Obama 2008 supporting dealerships benefit from near monopoly status.
MALFEASANCE and CRONY-CAPITALISM
8. Two things here . . . . a) Not only was President Obama lying when he said his plan (Obamacare) would allow you to “keep your present plan, if you like it;” and he failed to tell the public that an “interim final rule” filed as regulations by three agencies (among the 390+ agencies created within Obamacare) made it against the law for your plan to make certain changes required to keep them compatible with Obamacare, so these plans (including plans specifically ‘grandfathered in’) are non-compliant and you can’t keep using them. And b) you’ll remember that Obamacare passed first by reconciliation in the Senate so that the 60-40 majority wasn’t required to allow a vote; and then Obama had to sign a last minute piece of paper guaranteeing that no federally-funded abortions would be allowed under Obamacare. This got him 12 last-minute anti-abortion Democratic votes led by Michigan’s Bart Stupak. Over 100,000 federally-funded abortions have already occurred under Obamacare; indeed they were made the very first covered Obamacare operations. HHS (sometimes called the “Dept. of Health and Abortion Services”) run by Kathleen Sebelius has also not been in compliance with the federal government’s financial management laws so it’s impossible to trace exactly how widespread this federal-funding of Obamacare abortions really is and literally cannot account for hundreds of millions of dollars. LIES, DOUBLE-DEALING, and DELIBERATE MISUSE OF FEDERAL FUNDS
7. Remember all those promises of openness and square-dealing that Obama would insist upon as he dramatically changed the “climate in Washington?” The Obama administration has on at least 40 occasions denied release of information under the Freedom of Information Act by claiming that “such-and-such report is still in draft form” and therefore exempt from the FOIA and somehow the final form is never ever completed. Most recent case of this broken promise game: The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) promise made in federal court that they’d be forthcoming and release an internal memo detailing their investigation into how and illegal alien known criminal was never deported and allowed to stay in the country long enough to kill a Virginia nun in a drunken-driving incident. When did she get killed? August, 2010. The latest missed date on this case: January 18, 2011. And, yep, the report is still in “draft” form.
DOUBLE-DEALING; OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE; LIE related to OPENNESS
6. You know all those continuing resolutions (CRs) that are passed so that the government continues to operate? Why isn’t any permanent “fix” ever passed? Obama sneakiness. Virtually every permanent spending bill Barack Obama has tried to get passed has been full of freebies and other goodies for his union supporters. One that caught my eye was back in September last year when one bill turned out to contain a $20 Billion list of add-ons benefitting the unions with taxpayer money. For example: the $1.9 Billion “Race to the Top” grants supposedly aimed at rewarding better-performing schools . . . was, it turned out, merely $1.9 Billion so that school districts could hire $1.9 Billion worth of new UNION teachers . . . the bill discriminated against teachers who would not join the teachers’ union.
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR BHO SUPPORTERS; DISCRIMINATORY LAWS
5. You’ve heard of the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case in Philadelphia that was already won which the Obama DOJ chose to drop? Well this one is much, much more serious. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) boss Andy Stern, according to White House logs has been the most frequent single visitor of the President over the first two+ years of his administration. SEIU was the biggest contributor to Obama-Biden 2008. The Federal Election Commission under the Obama DOJ has dropped an election violation case against the SEIU union that was also won. The union required local affiliates of SEIU to contribute to the union’s political action fund violating federal election laws. Of the $9 million war chest the SEIU amassed how much might have gone to Obama’s Democrats? 97%? More? SEIU is now squeezing its local workers for the 2012 elections. How often do you hear of prosecutors with already won cases dropping them?
ELECTION FRAUD: PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR SUPPORTERS; OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE
4. Goldman-Sachs company is sometimes called “Government-Sachs” because of all their political connections and their ability to come out smelling like a rose no matter how scandalous their behavior. You’ll recall that G-S earned several billion dollars acting on behalf, supposedly for AIG, in the federal bailout of AIG. You’ll also recall that G-S was forced to make restitution to thousands of clients for double-dealing when it sold them with glowing reports virtually worthless security options. Now it turns out that a) Goldman-Sachs “minted” most of the horrible real estate investments that got AIG in trouble and that Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner helped them to hide that information. Geithner is a former Goldman employee as is his chief of staff, Mark Patterson. According to web watchdog Bloomberg.com: “When a congressional panel convened a hearing on the government rescue of American International Group Inc. in January, the public scolding of Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner got the most attention. Lawmakers said the former head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank had presided over a backdoor bailout of Wall Street firms and a cover-up… Representative Darrell Issa,…placed into the hearing record a five-page document itemizing the mortgage securities on which banks such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Societe Generale SA had bought $62.1 billion in credit-default swaps from AIG. These were the deals that pushed the insurer to the brink of insolvency — and were eventually paid in full at taxpayer expense. The New York Fed, which secretly engineered the bailout, prevented the full publication of the document for more than a year, even when AIG wanted it released.” By the way, Geithner also once ran the NY Fed Reserve Bank. The Obama Administration has obstructed a proper accounting of what went wrong in the financial crisis. More from Bloomberg: “The public can now see for the first time how poorly the securities performed, with losses exceeding 75 percent of their notional value in some cases. Compounding this, the document and Bloomberg data demonstrate that the banks that bought the swaps from AIG are mostly the same firms that underwrote the CDOs in the first place. The banks should have to explain how they managed to buy protection from AIG primarily on securities that fell so sharply in value… Professor James Cox of Duke University School of Law says: “They may have been trying to shield Goldman — for Goldman’s sake or out of macro concerns that another investment bank would be at risk.” —
ConservativeAmerican.org points out there are numerous Goldman Sachs pals of Barack Obama and Timothy Geithner who now work for the Obama Administration. They include: Adam Storch, Neel Kashkari, Geithner himself, Mark Patterson, Gary Gensler, Gene Sperling, and Jide Zeitlin.
COVER-UP; MALFEASANCE; OVERSIGHT FAILURE and CORRUPTION
3. A story that got absolutely NO coverage in the mainstream press was the dissolution of CCX. Funny, over the nine years of its existence the Chicago Climate eXchange’s very existence was dubious; at least the lame-stream mainstream media saw no reason to tell the taxpayers and voters they existed. Based upon Al Gore’s dubious premises about global warming now proven only supported by corrupt “scientists,” in the background,
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936289.ece
http://www.petitionproject.org/index.php
http://www.prisonplanet.com/medieval-warm-period-rediscovered.html
Progressive Democrats (including Gore, Kerry, both Clintons and Obama) have been trying to sell Americans for the last nine years on the need for cap and trade legislation. In 2001 based upon money illegally diverted from federal homes programs by Franklin Raines, a patented computer program for carbon-trading was created. A group of about 100 progressive insiders including Gore, Obama, Raines, Goldman-Sachs officials, George Soros, and numerous self-declared Marxists from the sixties established CCX. If Cap and Trade law had ever been passed carbon-trading would have changed the American economy overnight from a $15 TRillion economy to a $25 TRillion one without creating a single new product or service . . . in effect an overnight 67% inflation ($10 TRillion cap and trade charges divided by $15 TRillion REAL economy) as the holder of the patent and owner of CCX this scandalous progressive consortium would have extracted huge commissions on every carbon-trade that ever occurred for the next twenty years and beyond making virtually every member of the group a hundred-billionaire. When Conservative news gatherers like FOXNews caught the scent several participants sold out their shares. When Cap and Trade failed again and a largely Republican House was voted in – CCX dissolved and the participants moved to England where’s Gore’s shell company is still hoping for Cap and Trade to become global.
SIMPLE PURE CORRUPTION . . . LIES . . . Cover-up’
2. We have a tie for the #2 spot. a) After conservative press and bloggers got wind of the connections behind Obama’s 44 Czars showing that most of them were self-admitted Marxists and other radicals the mainstream media (MSM) refused to cover the stories of these Czars’ background. When two of them made their outright communism evident (Anita Dunn (praising Chairman Mao killer of 58 million Chinese in peace time) and Van Jones (several of his speeches calling for “revolution” got out across the internet), the MSM still ignored the stories. Finally, it came out that Van Jones’ radicalism included being a “9/11-Truther” who claimed the U.S. government had conspired to create 9/11’s devastation . . . after the conservative press carried the story for three weeks, Van Jones quietly “resigned” and Dunn as well. Total coverage by most of the MSM: two minutes. b) Obama’s plan to seize over ten million acres of land in nine western states using an obscure clause of the Antiquities Act of 1906 to designate all the land as “monuments” went totally uncovered by the MSM. For those of you who don’t know it, the vast majority of federal land is already owned in the west with Nevada, for example, belongs 55% to the Feds rather to its own citizens and in Alaska even a larger percentage is federal land. This proposed law misuse much like the cap and trade scandal was so egregiously corrupt that even with large majorities in both chambers of Congress, the measure was defeated handily when S.C. Senator Jim DeMint of TEA Party fame exposed the facts on the Senate floor. ZERO Coverage by the MSM.
POWER-GRABBING UNETHICAL USE OF INAPPLICABLE LAWS
1. One of the bigger untold stories by the MSM is the absolute idiocy and corruption and total INCOMPETENCE involved in Obama’s energy policies. We’ve already mentioned Solyndra; already mentioned CCX and cap and trade . . . but things get much, much worse very quickly . . . .
a) During a 2008 campaign interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Barack Obama admitted his policies would bankrupt the coal industry and “necessarily make the price of electricity skyrocket” his own words. The Chronicle sat on the story and the MSM has deemed it unworthy of print for 31 months now. If all Americans were aware of that story, how much credence would Obama’s confused and contradictory “energy plan” have?
b) You can thank the FOIA for this little gem. The “success of Spain’s and Denmark’s wind energy programs” frequently touted by candidate and President Obama was disproven by two studies that outright refuted his claims. Immediately Obama turned to progressive multi-billionaire George Soros and his own Department of Energy and former CEO Cathy Zoo of Al Gore’s company to begin massive lobbying efforts on behalf of wind energy legislation despite the fact that more Freedom of Information Act efforts are being thwarted to reveal documents showing that Wind Energy may be fined for pumping water or running a mill here and there, but it does NOT work on a large scale. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is still filing requests for FOIA information still being withheld by the Department of Energy. How many people do you know who are aware of this story?
C. Recent surveys show that only about 8% of Americans have heard this and 82% of those who know about it say they were “unpleasantly surprised” when they learned of it. Mr. Obama has repeatedly promised/threatened to create “five million new green-tech jobs” in America. Spain which saw its economy go from #1 in Europe and 4% unemployment in 1996 to one of the most fragile economies and 21.3% unemployment now was the leader in the green movement beginning in 1997-98. Mr. Obama frequently cites Spain as an example of a great green success although those unemployment figures make that lie hard to swallow. A study of the Spanish green debacle by a noted Spanish economist gives us these details: 1) government subsidies of Spanish green technology cost 2.2 jobs in the REAL free-market economy for every single green job created 2) cost of the average green job was $676,000 each 3)some of those green jobs lasted less than six weeks but they were counted the same as the permanent green jobs 4) only 10% of all the green jobs proved permanent 5) Spanish green jobs typically paid only $10-$14 per hour which was less than the average REAL job lost ($16) . . . . OUCH! So let’s extrapolate Obama’s promise of creating five million green jobs here in America: the cost would be eleven million REAL free market jobs for creating the subsidized green jobs; given rising prices, the cost would be around $840,000 to create the average green job; some of those green jobs would still last only six weeks and they’d still be counted as if they were “permanent;” only 500,000 permanent green jobs would be created and they’d be moderate-paying at best . . . in sum 22 REAL jobs would be lost to create one permanent Obama green-tech job.
Just about a month ago John Heileman wrote an article in New York Magazine reporting that President Obama hasn’t yet conferred with some half dozen cabinet members during the first two years of his administration.
The more pointed variant of this critique was directed specifically at Obama. Unlike 42—who loved to stay up late, jabbing at the speed dial, spending countless hours gabbing with local pols and businesspeople around the country to gauge the political wind and weather—44 not only eschewed reaching out to governors, mayors, or CEOs, but he rarely consulted outside the tiny charmed circle surrounding him in the White House. “What you had was really three or four people running the entire government,” says the former White House strategist. “I thought they put a pretty good Cabinet together, but most of those guys might as well be in the witness-protection program.”
A funny line, no doubt, but an overstatement, surely? Well, maybe not. “I happen to know most of the Cabinet pretty well, and I get together with them individually for lunch,” says one of the most respected Democratic bigwigs in Washington. “I’ve had half a dozen Cabinet members say that in the first two years, they never had one call—not one call—from the president.

I swore I heard that right. Did the President say this is our “Sputter and Nicked Up” moment? Was this the first time that he decided to finally come clean with the American people? I thought to myself, well at least he was being honest in his State of the Union speech. He’s finally breaking it to everyone that after his first two years in office he’s set the economy up for another dip… and a bad one. Yes I know that the stock market has been going up for the last couple months and other economic indicators have had minor upticks. This temporary uptick has been due to the FED pumping liquidity into the financial markets at a level nearly matching 90% of our current GDP.
But Obama has decided to come clean. He’s telling us when the FED’s stimulus runs out again, the economy is going to sputter, fall back into recession, and we’re all going to get nicked up. The latest stimulus by the FED is known as QE2 (Quantitative Easing 2). Why is it called QE2? Because QE1 didn’t work. Yes Obama was able to leverage QE1 to trigger a rebound in the stock market but that happens when the FED pours cash into the financial market. The impact of Quantitative Easing 1 stopped working in late April 2010, and the stock market swooned. continued...
People all over the world are fed up with their leadership. A great change is in the wind. But beware: predators are licking their chops. The leadership of Islam’s Brotherhood preaches that it wants every Jew dead. It’s crazy talk. There is no link. Political progressives, those leaders who have a vision of the way things ought to be, who try to force all the pieces to fit their wills, their end justifies the means—more crazy talk; there is no link. The Brotherhood and Fabian Socialists are two peas in the same pod. Their joint aim, complete control of the individual, is manmade. They live in La La Land; refuse to believe that man is not a herd animal.
“Exhibiting the majestic progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity,” wrote Reverend C. I. Scofield in the Introduction of the Scofield Reference Bible, the increasing purpose, as he put it, “which runs through and links the ages together, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity,” I made a connection with Scofield’s observation that “The saying that ‘anything may be proved by the Bible’ is both true and false—true if isolated passages are used; utterly false if the whole divine revelation is in view.” I wonder if the average Christian minister or rabbi grasps the true meaning of human life. The Brotherhood doesn’t. When I was subjected to Christian preaching, I was turned off. I’m way ahead of them. The clergy lives in the past. It’s days are numbered.
Understand the increasing purpose and the scriptures harmonize, said Scofield and Augustine. “The Bible tells the human story,” says Scofield, beginning, logically, with the creation of the earth and of man. The story of the races, sprung from the first human pair, continued through the first eleven chapters of Genesis. The twelfth chapter begins the history of Abraham and of the nation of which Abraham was the ancestor. It is that nation, Israel, with which the Bible narrative is thereafter chiefly concerned from the eleventh chapter of Genesis to the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. . . The appointed mission of Israel was, (1) to be a witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry; (2) to illustrate to the nations the greater blessedness of serving the one true God; (3) to receive and preserve the Divine Revelation; and (4) to produce the Messiah, earth’s Savior and Lord.” Genesis 1:26—“Let us make man in our image,” what on earth are we about? It’s crazy.
With the faith that God was with me, all by myself, starting 35 years ago, I stuck my finger in the eye of the IRS—proved that I was more powerful than the whole lot of them. Believing that I had God on my side; I had the U. S. Constitution, the IRS misplaced power, and the courts don’t give me the Constitution, and God is out of bounds, I was not daunted.
U. S. courts are conspirators in the federal rip off called income tax. I took my case to the free press and got a front page story. Throughout, the IRS ate crow. I defeated the unholy frauds, big time. Did the American public pay any attention? No.
It wasn’t until 2010 that the public began to wake up, when the Tea Party came into being. You still don’t know the power potential of the determined individual. Take a good look at Governor Scott Walker, the most determined governor of the 50 states. Where did we get our power? It was born in us. We were predestined.
There is a lot you don’t know. It just so happens that we are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. While Pisceans are easily influenced and prone to accept external factors, Aquarians are determined and stubborn in their beliefs. Aquarians are prone to look deeply within for answers. We believe we are meant to be our brother’s keeper. While the Piscean symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, the Aquarian’s symbol is the water-bearer to humanity.
Bell’s theorem tests prove that objective reality, as it has been conceived, is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. A range of happenings is left open to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will. This is the latest science.
“In earth as it is in heaven,” said Jesus, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and the righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Jesus said: “Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” The establishment is far, far behind the time. Wake up to the world you are entering. The new world order is nothing like you have ever even dreamed. The Brotherhood and Fabian Socialism are history. Don’t get left at the switch.
WE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE NOT LOOKING FOR REVOLUTION, ETHER RELIGIOUS OR CIVIL . BUT
WE DO WANT CLEAN GOVERNMENT & LESS GOVERNMENT, AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT. THE PEOPLE
IN WISCONSIN ARE MISGUIDED.

As I mentioned to some friends, due to the amount of money the President is borrowing from the Chinese, Obama is no longer able to refer to the Chinese leader as Hu Jintao. Now Obama is required to call him Hu JaDaddy. To paraphrase Jay Leno, the bad news is the Chinese Leader came to the White House this week. The good news is he said we could keep it.
However I’m not picking on the Chinese. I’m opposed to the United States owing that amount of money to anyone. Let alone a country that crushes dissent in their citizens, imprisons their Noble Prize winners, thinks that America is a temporary aberration in history, and has nuclear weapons pointed at us. In any debtor relationship, you lose authority and the ability to negotiate from a level playing field. Anyone who doesn’t think it matters where you borrow money is a fool. Just ask a person who has ended up in “cement shoes” in the waters off of New Jersey whether it matters. But I digress…
Personally, I’m not as concerned about what our debt to China says about them as what is says about us. The reckless increased spending by the Obama Administration is not primarily being driven by building infrastructure, fighting a war, or funding social security. Continue...
The Debt Is Just Too Damn High!
Our new Speaker of the House John Boehner is too busy shrinking from Nancy Pelosi’s shadow to be of much use to anyone. He is calling for and losing key votes that are an embarrassment to his party. He is not paying attention to the mandate the American people gave him and the Republican Party last November, or to his own campaign promises.
To make matters worse it would seem that most of the new Republican leadership since assuming the reigns of power have joined him and turned into what the “Governator” would call a bunch of “girlie men”. Surely Nancy Pelosi must have left a pound or two of brass behind somewhere.
Reps. Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Rogers and Issa among others all started out balls afire, swore they were going to turn this ship of state around, starting day one. So far their efforts have been more like “window dressing” and hype. They have set very poor examples for the entering freshmen. They have been dodging the hard votes. They were re-hired to force the hard votes, to cut spending, with a machete, not a scalpel! De-funding Obamacare completely in the 2011 CR would have yielded over $105 Billion in spending cuts, more than their target $100 Billion in other areas. It would have been a doubling down and shown how serious their commitment was. The promise or pledge to repeal, de-fund, stop it or otherwise “Kill Obamacare” was the defining issue on Nov. 2nd, 2010 and nothing has changed!! Wait, back up, the judge in the 26 state lawsuit against Obamacare ruled it un-constitutional!! That alone should have been reason enough to completely stop any and all spending for Obamacare
.
The only thing they have shown they are serious about other than a few rules changes is the continuation of “business as usual” in the “Swamp”. A paltry $60+ Billion in cuts is like changing the curtains when the windows are cracked and leaking! What happened to all of the tough talk when the present leadership was in the minority just a couple of months ago?
We do have leadership in the House; folks that meet the definition of a leader, that could serve and would not hesitate to stand up for us and our principles and values. Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. Steve King, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep Paul Broun, Rep. Jack Kingston, many in the freshman class and many others are all honoring their pledges to us and care deeply about our Constitution and preserving and defending it.
Our current Republican leadership is more concerned with maintaining the status quo and relationships across the aisle than honoring their promises. One would think that after being kicked around viciously for 4 years, and after the runaway spending that was jammed down our throats this last 2 years, that there might be a sense of urgency about turning things around. Alas, it doesn’t seem to be materializing.
They, and we, have another chance to extend some more spending cuts and that is by refusing to raise the debt ceiling permanently!! Enough is enough and somewhere, at some time we have to draw the line. The time is now, and holding the line on the spending limit is the where! With just a “smidgeon” of the brass it took for the Democrats to jam us with Obamacare, the Republicans can keep the debt ceiling capped where it is, or with no more than a temporary bump, till spending cuts catch up if it becomes necessary. Remember we have had over $3,400,000,000,000.00 ($3.4 Trillion dollars) of deficit spending forced on us in just the past two years!! It should be relatively easy to find enough cuts to not have to tamper with the debt ceiling permanently.
Leaving it alone, or guaranteeing only a temporary bump up, would send tremors around the world that we are serious about addressing our debt crisis. It would give businesses another solid measure of assurance that their investment in new jobs would make sense! And wish upon wish, think what would happen if we were to reduce it slightly!!
It is high time to rein debt in. Any stimulus not spent, rein it in. Obamacare spending, rein it in. Across the board spending cuts in all agencies, rein them in. Duplicative program and agency cuts, rein them in. Want to save the value of the dollar, rein the spending in. Want to head off inflation, rein the spending in. This is a no-brainer folks!
Don’t believe for one minute the nonsense about the possibility of the US Government defaulting on its debt. The interest we pay represents just a small part of our overall spending and is the first thing we would pay in order to not spark a worldwide financial crisis and meltdown. Any one insinuating that we might default is an outright liar or totally delusional. At worst we would have to furlough federal government workers for a few days (Hmm…sharing the pain?). Treasury Secretary Geithner says we may hit the ceiling by March 31st 2011, maybe, maybe not. There is an option, however. Tie a temporary increase to substantial and immediate spending cuts that would automatically return the ceiling to the present level or lower within 6 months!
Call your Representatives and let them know that you want to rein in spending, NOW, and to start with not raising the debt ceiling permanently!! Ever increasing debt is not a forgone conclusion. It is the result of foregone irresponsibility. Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202)-224-3121 or (202)-225-3121 also Toll Free at (877)-762-8762 ask for your Representative by name and also call the leadership and tell them: “The debt is just too damn high”!! Do Not Raise The Debt Ceiling Permanently!! Stop Talking and Stop The Spending Now!! Show Some Brass!!

Ah, yes, Joseph, you are right, only you left out 99 percent of the truth of the matter. I note with puzzlement that deficiency in a number of the people—1 percent right and 99 percent wong. I wonder how long you’ve been here, Joseph. What I witness in America today is utterly confounding. When I was 19 years old, I was witness to the ruins of Nazi Germany. I wondered how the German people could have ever allowed the Nazis to take charge of their lives. Now I know, and you’ve helped, Joseph.
Our Constitution grants us the right to pursue happiness in our own ways, as long as we don’t take other people’s right for the same; that is, redistribute the nation’s wealth. It is not only unconstitutional, it is about as stupid anyone can get. Unions are great as long as they adhere to constitutional principles. Unions are headed by people with Nazi mentality. They have power and control. They don’t believe what they preach. They are not for the good of all. The same is true for progressive politicians.
What is going on in Madison, Wisconsin is a political game based on power and control. More than half of the American people, in one way or another, depend on government. It’s bankrupting the nation. But Joseph, you would not know that those with Nazi mentality would call Governor Scott a Nazi.
To those of you who are government entitled, what if government told you it was going to have to significantly cut your government check; it doesn’t have the money. You depend on your entitlement. Would that be fair? Of course not. What are you to do? The big spenders would be quick to ask that question. What would you be forced to think about those who robbed you of your existence? I would bet my hat that you would be on the street protesting.
You have been dumbed down—taught to believe the rich are greedy and grasping. If you are rich, it is more than likely that you took a risk and put out a lot of effort. We won’t mention those who took the risk and lost everything they had.
If you are successful in business, it is more than likely that you hire people. In fact, seventy percent of the jobs in America are attributed to the people I mention. The money they make doesn’t all go in their pockets to spend. A lot goes into expansion of their businesses. Obama wants that money. He does not want the money of corporate executives earning millions of dollars. They gave generously to his election. Obama bails them out with our money.
Giant corporations, whose money comes from thousands of stockholders, who take the risk, are too big to fail. They fail largely because it isn’t their money they throw away in failed Ponzi schemes. Politicians and the managements of giant corporations, birds of a feather, don’t live by the moral code of ordinary folks. Including union heads, they are not for America. They are strictly for themselves.
Ever since the Great Depression, political games—redistribution of the wealth—not unlike Nazi games, have sought to make the American people dependent on government. Why should Washington be in charge of redistributing our sweat? We must be out of our minds. We are now seeing the consequence. The super rich are in the game with politicians. Tax the rich is a joke! Pfizer has four times been fined for felony with the intent to defraud. In 2010, Pfizer paid a $2.5 billion dollar fine. It represents people being taken by Pfizer’s snake oil remedies. That money fined didn’t go to you, did it? It was distributed to the cronies of Washington’s Nazis. Congress gave Pfizer a tax break that put $47 billion in Pfizer’s pocket, and you wonder why you are paying outrageous prices for your drugs. It costs $200 million to get FDA approval on a health remedy. The drug industry is in cahoots with Washington to keep new remedies off the market, in order to sell remedies that kill us. We must be sick in the head. Why are not politicians talking like I’m talking?
Thanks to out of control, lawless government spending, the choices are getting slim. In a few days, Congress is going to be forced into raising the debt ceiling. If the increase is not approved, the majority of the American people will not receive the things they depend on government giving them. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, the big spenders will win. The Republicans don’t have the American people behind drastic cuts in spending. I was for not allowing the increase until I analyzed the situation. It’s going to take time and the full truth from those we elected. And don’t think the opposition isn’t going come back swinging. Those we put in office are afraid to tell it like it is. We’re going to have to grab the ball.
Government does not produce; it spends. If you tax the rich more, the rich are not going supply jobs. Then government supplies jobs with your money. You think the rich, with their money in the bank, should have it taken from them in taxes, so it can be spread to the people in need. The basics are totally ignored. Your government is killing the goose that laid golden eggs. The American masses are too dumbed down to know that. They cannot relate Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Communist China with what America’s government is up to. It is ironic that over 90 percent of America’s blacks vote for politicians bent on making them slaves again. Ask them where the money they receive comes from. They will tell you it is Obama’s money. You and I have no right to our money, unless we are willing to fight for it. That’s the way it is.
It is incredible to me how easily people are influenced. There is a reason. The easily influenced are Piscean in nature. I’m Aquarian. I’m stubborn in my belief. Do you want to get left at the switch, Joseph? You need to climb aboard my bandwagon. We are leaving the Age of Pisces.
Are Republicans seeking to force a shutdown of the federal government?
Should we do 'Whatever It Takes' to balance our budget and reduce spending?
Get This: House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said on Feb. 17 that he won’t accept a short-term extension of the government’s current spending authority without cuts.
How far is too far?
Should Congress approve short-term extensions with spending cuts in the interim?
The Republican-controlled House voted 235-189 to cut at least $61 billion from fat-cat spending! This could set the stage for a dog-fight with Dems! If so that dog-fight could bring government to a standstill after March 4! That is when the current continuing resolution expires.
So, do what it takes? Or play it safe?
Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin, the inside story of how Wall Street and Washington secretly fought to save themselves, is just part of the story. It includes all of the biggest corporations in America. But to say capitalism is at fault is the same as saying guns kill people. Common sense tells us otherwise. Common sense says that too much power in too few places kills people by the hundreds of millions.
Incidentally, I wonder who is running the stock market up. I wondered why people rushed out to buy a home when common sense said the bubble was going to burst. What is going on is inexplicable. Every day something is brought to my attention to think about and write about.
Russell L. Blaylock, a nationally recognized neurosurgeon, asks if vaccines bring more harm than good. They contain dangerous amounts of aluminum. Aluminum increases the immunization effects, but it is absorbed by the brain, and every time one is vaccinated. This can cause all manner of health problems, including death. And this is absolutely unbelievable. Government does not require vaccine manufacturers to submit to independent safety studies. One of the chief concerns is contamination. Many vaccines are manufactured in unreliable China.
It costs $200 million dollars to get your health remedy FDA approved, but once you are in you are pretty much home free. It keeps the completion out, competition that would otherwise sell safer cures at a fraction of the price. And how about this: Pfizer pled guilty in 2010 to “felony with intent to defraud.” They paid a fine of $2.3 billion, and this was the fourth time they pled guilty to intent to defraud. If you think this hurt Pfizer in any way you are wrong. A single tax law was enacted in 2004 that allowed Pfizer to reap $37 billion in profits. It’s a conspiracy for which the dumbed down public pays. It isn’t capitalism that it at fault, not anymore than guns kill people.
In the Middle-East, they call America the Great Satin. The American people are great fools, but in no way are we the fools that Middle-Easterners are showing themselves to be. The reason I’m not believed is because people all around the world depend on others. As the consequence, control freaks are moving fast to take over the world.
In my case, 35 years ago I cut from the herd and went on my own. In my case, I employed the most powerful legal tool of all times, the U. S. Constitution. I was transformed into one who got what I wanted out of life. If everyone knew the power potential one has within, we would not have control freaks in control of our lives. We would know we can be anyone we want to be, and have anything we want, without government help.
Theory that regards the absence of direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society, that which my Webster’s College Dictionary calls anarchy, would be in place of what we have. Instead of allowing ourselves to be small and insignificant, we would all know the power potential each has. If it works for me, it can work for you.
I repeat: The change is not going to be to Islamic Brotherhood, or Obama’s wild dream, a world socialist dictatorship. The brotherhood is the one Jesus pointed out. It’s his second coming, with the individual in control of his life, doing unto others as he would have others do unto him.
