Spend Thanksgiving with a Billionaire

I just received this intriguing Thanksgiving invitation and thought you might be interested too. I know Bill and his story is truly remarkable. Here's what he wrote...

Thanksgiving is a very important holiday to me. Let me try to explain without getting too mushy...

If you know me at all, you know that I've lived a miraculous life, with an incalculable amount of things to be thankful for. Few people can say that they've overcome:

* Poverty

* Homelessness
* Bankruptcy (Twice)
* Deafness
* Paralysis
* Gang Membership
* Dropping out of High School
* Alcoholism
* Depression

Inc. Cover Even fewer can say they've overcome ALL of them. I know it sounds incredible, but that's exactly what I've been through in my life.



But the most astounding part is that not only did I somehow manage to overcome all these obstacles, but that I became a self-made billionaire and the 25th wealthiest American in the process.

Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for. And, like the good book says

"To whom much is given, of him shall much be required."


I take that very seriously.

You see, I believe that in large part my experiences weren't really meant for me. They were meant for you. They were meant to be an example of what is really possible. And they were meant to be a road map of how any of us can achieve the wealth we desire, regardless of our circumstances.

So this coming Tuesday, November 23rd, I invite you to join me in a special Thanksgiving program where I will share my story in a way that will help you conquer the obstacles that stand in the way of your health, happiness and financial freedom.

Join me, I promise it will be worth your while. Here's how to get registered:

Human Understanding

The 5000 Year Leap, about America, starts by bringing attention to the original occupants of Jamestown, in Virginia, who came to America with little, if anything more that people 5000 years before. America was a miracle that changed the world. No more. America as gone retrograde.

The 5th principle in The 5000 Year Leap is the understanding that nature is not happenstance; we are not here because we are here and is is not because it is, Bill Clinton. We are aware of our existence, at least conscious of ourselves. How much more we are aware of is a matter of individual choice. But under normal circumstances we grow to the point that we can cope on our own. These are not normal circumstances.

We know that we could not have come from nothing. When God told Moses to tell his people that his name was I AM THAT I AM, I take it to mean I am that I am, whatever; I have a choice. I’m made of the elements and millions of years of evolution, and now with a mind of my own, and with inalienable rights—rights that can’t be taken from me without my permission, America has been hijacked by lawless con artists. If the vote was all that counted, rape and robbery could be voted constitutional.

We humans know God when we know I AM who I choose to be and know my purpose in being is not as a pawn of the powers that be; when we know that those we grant or attribute power to are not empowered to regulate our individual lives. You know you are not manmade. How does one know he or she is doing God’s or Allah’s work? An American court of law, only yesterday, congratulated itself for delivering justice, by acquitting a Muslim terrorist of all counts except one: destroying government property. The 239 lives that are no more, including 12 Americans, were of no consequence. President Obama praised the court.

How do we know our capabilities? Making the individual personally responsible for his or her own life is the only way to know our capabilities. Collectively, we all benefit. What does redistribution do, giving government control of the fruits of our labor, ostensibly for the good of all, denying personal responsibility in the process, reducing us to animal mentality? Socialism denies human nature. America’s government is currently attempting to make man it its image. Examples are Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, Castro’s Cuba, and Chavez’ Venezuela.

A mass murdering terrorist is going to prison for destroying government property, American justice praised by our authorities. How would you like to have a government guy rubbing your mother’s or wife’s private parts, not to save lives but to save government property? Government’s answer: If you don’t like it, you don’t have to fly. Don’t you wonder about your own life, wonder what kind of people these are who are in control of your life? One of those people—a one-world Marxist—a U.S. Senator, who swore to protect and defend the Constitution, only yesterday said he was for the FCC shutting down Fox News, exactly what Chavez would advocate. I’m sickened by the arrogance of the goons in control.

Like it or not, we, the people, have been reduced to government dependents—taken back in time, unnaturally, to animal mentality, back to the time when black people in America were no more than beasts of burden, only now everyone, your life is not worth a plugged nickel to the men and women in control of your life. America is in captivity. Instead of servant of the people, America’s government has become master of the people. Our work is cut out for us.

To tax or not to tax?

I have not posted in few days, I'm doing some research on a future subject. I need the facts from the source first as I do not take the word of others as the entire truth, they are usually only one's opinion. but that's another story.

I live in southwestern Pennsylvania. As an individual who has his eyes wide open seeing what most overlook, I have seen the end of the steel boom, the near end of the coal era and the loss of countless manufacturing jobs. These jobs did not just close down they moved elsewhere. Some right across the state line. I'll use the steel industry as an example since it is associated with the Pittsburgh area. The first act of the downward spiral began at the end of the Vietnam war with the mills profit being sent overseas to modernize the Japanese and other Pacific rim nations foundries. We fail to keep pace here. Next came the NAFTA and WTO treaties with these countries opening the door for the return of the same steel we funded, although it id definitely inferior to that made in the United States (I work with it, I know this as fact). In the nineties came the taxes, driving those still in the U.S. to other states such as Birmingham, Alabama and Upstate New York. And shortly after came your friend and mine, the EPA. Al Gore closed down the last coke mill because it was too expensive to modernize it to their standards. He was in Cairton, flanked by the EPA officials when it was announced.

Today, in this area there is a new job boom. Natural gas. They have been drilling hundreds of wells, if not in the thousands, for a little over two years. There are four within two miles of myself the closest being four hundred yards. Within the past six months the local media has been slamming these companies with false and half truths such as chemical contamination of the water, air pollution, well damage from fracturing (this one burns my ass the most. I have a well. Natural gas deposits are at 14,000 feet plus. The water table is around 100 to 1,000 feet. Simple mathematics will prove that fracturing can not harm the water table. I wonder, did they taste natural gas in the water before drilling began?... my apology for the rant). The politicians in Harrisburg are now considering a new tax on these drilling companies. Now here is the part where I see what most do not. There is a little country convenience store about three miles from me. It's a rural area so you can guess the population and business this does. Since these drillers have came in, business has tripled at the very least. They buy from the Subway, they buy their coffee, soda, snacks and what not. They buy lots of diesel fuel for their equipment. And this is all state taxed! Several young people have been hired to accommodate the increased business. My road is a township road, meaning no state or federal funding for it. In the past it was tarred and chipped maybe three times in the past 27 years. These companies paved it wider with asphalt, from their own pocket none the less. Also, everywhere I look in the small town of Washington I see vehicle plates from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana. They buy from the local businesses and stay in the local motels. Again, more taxes for the area and state. The roads they construct through the woods, local companies. The trees they cut, local companies. The fitting of the rigs and structural work, local companies. The only thing the gas company does is drill.

So, to tax or not to tax? The real question should be, How soon before the liberal EPA clamps down with new regulation?

What say you? I would like to know.



Keep the faith, light the fire and support the troops!

Are you mad yet. The election is over, but the fight must continue.

Thursday, November 18, 2010 11:22 AM

Do you remember the days when getting elected to Congress or choosing to work for the government was referred to as "public service"? The idea was that you would be making a sacrifice for the greater good of the country. Well, those days are long gone. Today, getting elected to Congress or working for the federal government is a good way to get rich. Median household income in the United States fell from $51,726 in 2008 to $50,221 in 2009, and yet the personal wealth of members of Congress and the salaries of federal workers (especially at the higher levels) continue to explode. A lot of corrupt politicians and federal fat cats are raking in stunning amounts of cash, and we are the ones paying the bill. There is certainly nothing wrong with making a lot of money, but does it seem right that so many of our "public servants" are getting filthy rich while so many of the rest of us are barely getting by?

Posted below are 12 facts that will blow your mind. Most Americans have no idea just how obscenely wealthy many members of Congress are, and most Americans are totally clueless about how cushy some of these U.S. government jobs are. If there is one place in America where the good times are still rolling (other than Wall Street), it would have to be Washington D.C. Members of Congress and employees of the government are supposed to work for us. We are the ones who pay their salaries. But today, they are the ones "living the dream" while most of the rest of us scramble just to survive from month to month....

#1 According to an article in the Hill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's net worth soared from $13.7 million in 2008 to $21.7 million in 2009.

#2 In 2005, 7420 federal workers were making $150,000 or more per year. In 2010, a whopping 82,034 federal workers are making $150,000 or more per year. That is more than a tenfold increase in just five years.

#3 More than half of the members of the U.S. Congress are millionaires.

#4 The total compensation that the U.S. government workforce is going to take in this year is approximately 447 billion dollars.

#5 Today, all members of Congress earn at least $175,000. This is far, far more than the average American makes.

#6 60 percent of the federal government workforce is represented by labor unions.

#7 The median wealth of a U.S. Senator in 2009 was 2.38 million dollars.

#8 In 2005, the U.S. Department of Defense had just nine civilians earning $170,000 or more. When Barack Obama took office, the U.S. Department of Defense had 214 civilians earning $170,000 or more. In June 2010, the U.S. Department of Defense had 994 civilians earning $170,000 or more.

#9 Insider trading is perfectly legal for members of the U.S. Congress - and they refuse to pass a law that would change that.

#10 According to a recent study conducted by the Heritage Foundation, federal workers earn 30 to 40 percent more money on average than their counterparts in the private sector.

#11 When you factor in such things as retirement and health care benefits, the compensation gap between federal workers and private sector employees gets even larger. Just consider the following quote from the Heritage Foundation study mentioned above....

"Including non-cash benefits adds to this disparity. The average private-sector employer pays $9,882 per employee in annual benefits, while the federal government pays an average of $32,115 per employee."

#12 The personal wealth of members of the U.S. Congress collectively increased by more than 16 percentfrom 2008 to 2009.

So can the U.S. government continue to afford to shell out nearly half a trillion dollars to federal employees every single year?

Of course not.

The truth is that the U.S. government is flat broke and yet most of our politicians still seem extremely resistant to consider anything that would even slow down the wild spending that has been going on.

So what do we get for the $447 billion that we are spending on federal workers every single year?

Not a whole lot - unless you consider paperwork, bureaucracy and a gigantic pile of ridiculous regulationsto be a good thing.

America needs a fundamental shift in attitude. Instead of expecting a "nanny state" to take care of us, we should desperately try to reshape the federal government into a much smaller entity that will finally get off our backs.

We have been living beyond our means for decades, and we cannot afford to pay for this bloated behemoth of a government for much longer.

Hopefully Americans will wake up and do something about this nonsense before it is too late. Because right now the federal government has become an out of control monster that is gobbling up everything in sight.

I Tell You It Just Don’t
Make Sense, Dude/Dudette
ITEM: Violent demonstrations racked some state universities today as Californians are seeing college students riot after facing potential 80% tuition hikes just days after their courts OK’d massive tuition breaks for illegal aliens letting them attend California universities at the same rate as citizens much below the rate offered out of state students. Rajjpuut recommends all California grade school students be required to take Remedial Vocabulary courses teaching them concepts like “citizen;” “illegal”; “alien”; “free lunch;" "welfare state;" “Constitution;” “common sense;” and the like. Perhaps California might consider charging elementary and illegal alien secondary students say $5,000 per student as a way to make up the shortfall? And denying illegal aliens access to benefits targeted for U.S. and California citizens? Arizona Senator Kyl who is truly a statesman has expressed severe doubts about the adequacy of the Obama START Treaty. 2/3 majorities are required to pass any treatment.
ITEM: Obama and Holder incompetence was on parade as a terrorist defendant was acquitted of 284 charges and found guilty of one by a civilian court. By the way, Rajjpuut WOULD HOPE that civilian courts would acquit him of charges produced from evidence obtained by brutality (enhanced interrogation) . . . this is totally predictable, stateless fanatics willing to kill innocents and even to blow themselves up in WAR cannot be successfully handled like ordinary shoplifters. Terrorist Ahmed Ghailani was chosen for trial because his crime took place BEFORE 9/11; involved NO waterboarding and included such a huge amount of evidence that it was described as a "slamdunk" dry-run of the Obama-Holder insistence that terrorists should be tried in civillian courts. Consider this: Ghailani confessed twice and one cheap conviction out of 285 counts is the best Holder-Obama could get us? Holder and Obama are twin incompetents who greatly endanger this country.

Consider this: Ghailani confessed twice and one cheap conviction out of 285 counts is the best Holder-Obama could get us? Holder and Obama are twin incompetents who greatly endanger this country.
ITEM: Texas, like California is facing the ridiculous issue of whether or not ILLEGAL aliens deserve the benefits of Americans or of the state’s own citizens. In all their vaunted political correctness the Obama administration and Democratic progressives at the federal level and individual states like California and New York have shown a shocking INability to understand the meaning of the simple word “illegal.” In Texas, meanwhile, they’re facing a curious variation of the when the Texas A&M student congress voted to disallow illegal aliens receiving in-state tuition. The fly in the ointment, their student body president vetoed the action and insufficient votes to overturn the veto allowed his decision to stand. Oh, by the way, the student body president is an illegal alien. Since this was discovered after his election many Aggie students are calling for his removal.
ITEM: Seeing the President fail to obtain meaningful results on his last three forays into foreign affairs, how confident can Americans feel about his START Treaty with Russia to reduce nuclear arms in both countries?
ITEM: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Mr. Obama and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) are willing to inconvenience and ENDANGER America’s air travelers with expensive and useless scanning devices and questionable pat downs. It has been admitted that the underwear bomber on Christmas, 2009, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DETECTED by the scanning devices. In fact PROFILING and sniffer dogs (they can each work about one hour a day only) are estimated to be about 20 times more effective . . . another Obama boondoggle brought to you courtesy of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. The most successful and one of the least expensive security programs in the world by the Israelis is the model we should be following and that means common-sense profiling of potential Islamic terrorists is required. Israel's El Al airline has NEVER lost a plane to terrorism. They profile, they give every passenger a brief interview and some of them extensive interviewing.

ITEM: How soon they forget . . . . Americans now seem willing to pay $33.00 and upward for each share of General Motors (GM) stock available from an IPO (initial public offering). Hey, dumbsheeets, they’ve been profitable lately because the damn company has been subsidized to the tune of $14,500.00 per car. Rajjpuut’s prediction: look for GM to be selling at less than $20 a share by Jan. 15 and less than $10 a share in March $5 or less per share in 2012 and still be a poor bargain. Look for GM to be back begging for a future bailout not later than 2020. The stock market continues to fool most of the people most of the time (and most of that fooling is done by self-delusion). By the way, IPOs taken as a whole over the years prove (twelve months later) to be very poor investments. The GM IPO is expected to set a record as the largest initial public offering in history. Suicide by stock investment seems to be unusually popular any time the stock markets near recent highs. Some people can’t be trusted with any amount of money larger than a $20 bill.
ITEM: Supposedly the break-even point for American taxpayers would be reached if/when every single share of GM sold for $53 minimum. Actually, the Union’s hold over GM means that until shares sell for about $65 each there’s no hope that Americans can ever hope to see their money back. Then there’s Chrysler . . . which benefitted from bailouts twice in thirty years, Chrysler will be asking for another bailout by 2017 at the latest.
Ya'all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut

Our Increasing Purpose

I like reading or Tea Party’s informed blogs. You people well know the problem. Don’t depend on Washington to solve the problem Washington created. As usual, Washington will deal with the symptoms, not the cure.

Looking back in history at authority, not to mention what the authorities did to Jesus, the Holy Catholic Empire dominated Europe. The Roman Catholic Church’s effort to control; that is, the “one true Church of Christ stemming from “One True God,” exclusive of all other beliefs, faith in the Catholic Church’s doctrine is the only way to salvation—My Oh My —this brought the world to Martin Luther and his protest.

Luther happened to come along with the invention of the printing press. This is significant in our increasing purpose. His books dealt the Catholic Church a blow from which it never fully recovered. Also Galileo’s discovery that the earth is not at the center of the universe, as the “one true Church” preached, the physics book he sneaked out, along with Luther’s Protestant Reformation brought forth the Age of Enlightenment, and the one true Church playing a lesser role in our lives—part of our increasing purpose.

Sir Isaac Newton was a product of the Age of Enlightenment. His interest in astrology caused him to study mathematics. Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, was an astrologer. He studied under Egyptian priests, who were astrologers. In fact, in the ancient world astrologers advised kings. Newton learned the higher math of ancient Egyptians. He invented a form of mathematics called calculus. From calculus, Newton gave us immutable laws of motion. From immutable laws of motion, came Einstein’s relativity and special relativity. We had a firm basis for knowing the space-time consortium.

In 1942-1943, I studied physics in high school. At the time, the atom was a neat package of subatomic particles, including electrons whirling about a core of neutrons and protons.

In the late 1950s, physicists found that the atom could be split into smaller particles. In 1964, American physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig developed a theory of particle physics that proposed quarks as the building blocks of protons and neutrons, borrowing the word from James Joyce’s novel, Finnegans Wake, which contains the phrase, “three quarks for Muster Mark.”

There were only two types of quarks to describe the proton and neutron: the “up quark” and the “down quark.” To make three quarks for Muster Mark, physicists discovered kaons, which they called “strange,” thus the strange quark to go with the up and down quarks.

Quantum physics used the three-quark model through the 1970s to learn about the internal structure of the proton. This knowledge supported the existence of gluons inside protons, but they had not yet actually been discovered. In 1970, they predicted the existence of a fourth quark they called the “charm quark.” Thus, a particle containing the charm quark, the second-generation partner of the strange quark, then came the discovery in 1975 of a third-generation “lepton,” which led scientists to predict the existence of a third generation of quarks. The “bottom quark” came along in 1977.

Pioneer Enrico Fermi’s name lives on in the Enrico Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory at Batavia, Illinois, which houses machinery that stands 3 stories tall and weighs about 5,000 tons. Four-hundred-fifty physicists coordinate their efforts around Fermilab, which houses an accelerator big enough to build the energy required to see a suspected “top quark.” In February 1995, the discovery of the theorized “top quark” was a big day for quantum physicists. The top quark, an essential in the construction of matter, was a giant step forward.

We’ve got a new vastly more powerful atom splitter in Switzerland’s CERN called the Large Hadron Collider. It has just been successfully fired up. It is theorized that there is a yet smaller particle called the Higgs boson. The Higgs boson is theorized to be the first “thing” that appeared in the physical universe. If they can prove that, physics will have a complete model of the space-time consortium, from the first nanosecond of its creation.

We are dealing with the microcosmic. It doesn’t behave at all like the world we know. Quantum physics is in conflict with classical physics, each declaring the other incomplete. Einstein claimed quantum physics was incomplete. John Stewart Bell, a CERN physicist, set out to prove Einstein correct and proved him wrong in what is known as Bell’s theorem, arguably the most important discovery in the history of man. Probably less than one-thousandth of one percent of the world’s population knows anything about Bell’s theorem, and of this number, fully half don’t give it any credibility. The reason for the ignorance is that the world’s authority, having invested an enormous amount of time and effort attaining the title of authority, is not about to say it knows nothing about the way things work.

If you want to know how things work, you take the apparatus apart for examination. That’s what quantum physicists are doing with atom smashers. They are taking the universe apart, examining it, and finding that it is not at all what we thought it was. When the world discovers what is and what we are, the world will radically change.

In a lab experiment to prove Bell’s theorem correct, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, my guru, set up Polaroid filters in such fashion that a laser beam directed at them formed angles that allowed him to use the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares on the right triangle equals the area of the larger square, thus a simple graphical way of showing how many photons (in any time interval) will pass through a pair of Polaroid filters at any angle, and how many will be stopped. The square of the hypotenuse is the number of photons coming in, and the other two squares on the right triangle represent how many photons pass through and how many absorbed. Quantum theory tells science what photons do. There is a subtle way photons behave. It allows science to look in detail at how it is possible for nature to follow the laws of physics, in the end to put the question of the nature of space, time and physical reality to the ultimate test.

What Bell’s theorem tells us is that basic to nature, plans having limits, when we make our plans, you and I, and we part company, things can still go wrong, even for the best of plans (Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle). I parted company and things went right. Was it the luck of the draw or was it a prepared mind?

Walker: “Matter, objects—a physical domain exists that is governed by immutable laws (Newton’s laws of motion). But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. . . Every path we have taken to learn something of the structure of the universe finally comes around to the same result. Whether to understand the interconnections of will, to understand the most basic facts in quantum theory, or to discover the beginnings of the Big Bang universe, each path leads to the fact that there must exist a supreme consciousness out of which everything else springs. . . it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. . . The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.

“The quantum mind,” what is it other than one’s state of conscious awareness? States have no boundary. We, individually, set our boundary. We are now, as a nation, where I individually was in 1975—facing an uncertain future that is very scary.

Many Americans are burying their heads in the sand. Thanks to the Tea Party, at the midterm election we gave Obama a resounding body blow. Now the Republicans say they want to do our will. But we Americans are addicted to an easy existence. We bear little responsibility for our lives. We’ve turned retrograde in purpose.

We’ve learned over the years to depend quite excessively on government. Once we are forced to tighten our belts, withdrawal pains will set in. More than half of the population is going to be adversely affected when Congress starts attempting to take control of spending and govern responsibly. Knowing our representatives, what are they going to do when “our will” changes, as it surely will? What is Obama going to do? Why did the Democrats keep Pelosi as their leader? It is not in our representatives to do the right thing, so don’t expect it. It is up to you and I to make the corrections of course.

I’ve had the experience of standing on the edge of forced change. I had no faith in government, no faith in a religion, no faith in my family. I jumped into the unknown, to either fly with eagles or fall into the abyss. I survived, and more, made my life infinitely better. How many of you believe that one has the power, no matter what, to make one’s lives better?

It goes against everything I’ve been taught to believe I have the right answers for me. When I dared to try to solve my problem my way, the establishment fought me, which caused me to become more determined. I must have had the right answers for me. What makes me different from other people? Wouldn’t the same be true for anyone who looks within for answers?

Now that I can look back at my life, having expanded the boundary of my conscious awareness, now that I know the subtle makeup of the universe, I have a new perspective. Our increasing purpose is written in the stars. We are destined to individually take charge of our lives. We can look forward to a better world.

Across America this is what is wrong and has been wrong, everything on this sight is about "black" it is wrong and divisive. Education consist of race bait inflammatory fictitious reading of American history and slavery. Their is nothing left to say government sponsored racism and it is widely accepted across the USA and blacks continue to play victimes of American society, as they deliberately embrace reverse assimilation into American society. This as been the case for 100 years. 2nd Annual African American Alumni Forum, March 25-27, 2011
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
Federal tax payer dollars funding racism, just because a group of people have chose to refuse assimilation into America they then become a minority and receive minority protectionism from our government as well as more rights, this is not acceptable it is legally permitted and encourages racism paid for by the tax payers. O I get it these are the nice racist. Because it is done through our univercities.

Time Out! Tea Party!

Time Out! Tea Party!

.

You know with approximately six thousand Tea Party/9-12 groups nationwide and many of them under the umbrella of one or more national Tea Party groups it is an impossible task to get them to all march to the same tune. Let’s face it they are a diverse group of folks with little or no interest in having a single national leader or group because each individual Tea Partier or group has their own priorities.

.

They are bound together by certain principles, namely; Constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility both personal and government, free market economics, less government spending resulting in lower taxes, return of sovereignty to the states and the individual, and most importantly protecting their freedom and liberty!

.

Some groups focus on just a few of the above or add in some 2nd Amendment or social issues that are dear to them…to each their own. They all fall under the broad umbrella of the Tea Party movement, born of the awakening of the “great silent majority” and silent no more. The Tea Party is the “Conscience of America”, conservatively plain and simple.

.

The best path forward for the “Tea Party” movement is for each to allow the others their space. By now the whole world knows that regardless of what one group or individual may say or infer, there is no one leader, no one group that speaks for all of the Tea Party movement even though the media may try to portray it that way, but isn’t that how the MSM has always operated, exploiting situations for sensationalism and provocative headlines?

.

There is no need for us to speak out publicly against one another every time we don’t agree with some action, statement or project of another. It just makes us look fractious; it impugns our collective character; it provides the MSM with even more cannon fodder and it pits brother against brother and sister against sister. Oft times we are perceived as like little kids fighting over marbles and what a shame because we all know of the sacrifice of time and money we all put into our efforts. That effort is at times staggering; mindboggling!

.

Complaints have been vented about a National Convention, a state convention, bus road trips, particular rallies, press conferences, press releases, you name it, but you know what? If you talk to anyone who participated or attended, they were fired up and thought it was a great success! Maybe we should begin recognizing some of these “complaints” for what they really are, differences in opinion, before we launch public attacks. As defenders of the Constitution we must always be mindful of other's First Amendment rights and learn to express a difference in opinion, at will, but to reserve attacks for only the most egregious acts or statements by those who would harm the Tea Party.

.

We can no more control what road folks choose to take or prevent them from making their own mistakes, than we can affect the rising and setting of the sun. What we can do is learn from each other whether it is from what worked or what didn’t work. We can support each other’s efforts and recognize it is all for the greater good.

.

It has been said that even greater deeds may be accomplished, even greater heights may be reached, when we are not encumbered by, who gets the credit. Two tactics by which we may all do a better job and be more effective are before making comments: first, ask yourself, always “Is this good for everyone in the Tea Party, all of our grassroots?” and secondly “Speak no ill of other conservatives/Tea Partiers publicly” in other words let’s keep our house cleaning, disagreements or complaints among ourselves.

.

We are not ourselves the enemy; we just sometimes disagree on the battle plan. We must learn to save and focus all of our angst and energy on the real enemy, the liberal and progressive Left. We must not waste our energies on infighting and thereby afford strength to the liberal Left and the MSM!

.

It is rare that you would ever agree with anyone 100% of the time. Relish and be thankful for that which you agree on and learn to accept that there will be some things that you won’t ever agree on.

.

Remember always to stay focused on the prize; forgive others who are less focused; realize we all have different skills and resources and will approach things differently; don’t worry who is getting the credit (the folks who really matter know where it belongs); don’t speak ill of other Tea Partiers (it tarnishes character and lowers stature, your own!); remember just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea; apologize for no one but yourself (you know when you are wrong, apologizing for others may prove to be a mistake in the long run); worry more about how good a job you are doing than the judging of others and remember in the end, we are all accountable to only One!

.

The prize you may ask? Here on earth, your liberty and freedom as well as that of your family and loved ones. And afterwards?………you hold the key to that prize in your heart and mind!!

.

For Liberty’s Sake,

Tom Whitmore

One Nation Under God

The powers that be do not want to hear the word of God. I got flagged commenting on a video.. banned by radio stations being called politically incorrect... "In God We Still Trust" by Diamond Rio for saying.....

The powers behind the government do not want us to worship our God. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, butagainst principalities, against powers, against the rulers of thedarkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].Ephesians 6:12

I am not ashamed to witness and profess God as my Savior. If God's word bothers you... Maybe you check where you are in Christ.


2 Tim 1:8-10 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord

Mark 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous andsinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comesin his Father's glory with the holy angels.

One last comment Satan is the Prince of the power of the air. So who runs this world now? We do need change.

The new world order

Glenn Beck brings up an interesting view on the new world order world leaders are pushing, including President Obama. There is nothing new about it; it’s as old as you can get. It’s the Babylonian world order, says Beck. King Nimrod had the idea of building a tower reaching to the heavens which represented the king and his people, the bricks all of equal size and he was the mortar—manmade bricks. According to Beck, the new world order talk is Nimrodean babble.

None of the modern oracles talk of the true new world order. I’ve a message for President Obama. Unknown to most, a new world order is in the works, based on natural law, which does work. Beck touched on it when he called us stones rather than manmade bricks. I’ll now elaborate on it. Natural law is the background of America’s Constitution; that is, as written, not as interpreted. America’s original Constitution is the mortar that holds us together; its misinterpretations the wrongs that divide us. Obama doesn’t know this. We should tell him.

The seeds from which we come, of equal size, but as in all life, growth being unequal, we humans mentally grow at different rates. Our mental growth is natural and mostly our personal choice. For man to attempt to make us all equal is saying man makes us. Obama does not make us. Please tell him that it is a personal choice to allow others to direct our lives. The more Obama directs, the more the resistance.

According to America’s original Constitution, every individual citizen has inalienable rights, rights that can’t be taken or bartered without the individual’s permission. That’s where America’s judges went wrong. They ruled against the individual’s inalienable rights. Justice Brandeis, a Roosevelt appointee: “Property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means an end.” Obama tells us he is a Roosevelt Democrat. According to Court precedence, government entitlements come ahead of the right to exist on the fruits of one’s own labor. Obama says the Constitution is flawed. America has been on the wrong course ever since our judges stripped us of our God-given rights. Nimrodean babble from the White House and the bench has to go before America can move forward.

When you allow others to direct your life, you give up your inalienable rights, your personal responsibility, your self-reliance—everything your Creator gave you to cope. You allow might to make right, both for yourself and everyone. You agree to Nimrod’s law: the law of the jungle. We, the people, like Moses, have to force the freaks in control of our lives to “let my people go.”

Here is what we don’t know, and apparently Beck, that scientific discovery reveals. The observer now emerges as co-equal in creation. The tests of Bell’s theorem have shown that the observer interacts with matter. The human mind is basic to reality. I recommend that Beck and the Tea Party people read Evan Harris Walker’s The Physics of Consciousness.

Materialism has served us, made our live vastly better, and at the same time given us the idea that we’re not subject to nature’s laws, actually shut down conscious awareness; allowed us to leisurely drift numb skulled on the tides (the profile of a liberal). Redistributionist Obama is the liberal’s savior. I’ve news for liberals. There comes the moment of truth. Hard times are coming very soon. Our challenges will be great. The weaker willed, living only for today, will perish. That’s the way of nature.

Consciousness has been broached scientifically. Liberals should pay attention to the scientifically proven truth. Here is a preview of the new age. In addition to the physical domain governed by immutable laws, a range of happenings leaves open the selections of the mind. Behind this selection is the will. The will communicates with a common control center. When I read the Constitution, and this is important, with the idea of using it to demand my inalienable rights, I had the feeling that voices from the past were speaking to me. Miraculously, it worked. But, hey, you don’t challenge the powers that be and get away with it. When everything should have gone wrong for me, everything went right. Ever since I took it upon myself to perch on the same limb with the top birds of the pecking order, my life has continued to get better. I took seriously that under the law we are all equals. Who, besides me, knows this and practices it? The IRS called me a “Fifth Amendment freak” and ended eating their words. I predict that liberals’ days are numbered. What does Congress’ ding bat know? Pelosi and her kind are going to be left at the switch.

I’m Aquarius rising. Astrologer Jeanne Avery, in The Rising Sign, under “Aquarius Rising:”

“He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer.” Aquarius rising means as I grow older I become more Aquarian in nature. When I was age 49, I departed my old life and became an adventurer seeking a better life—much like the original Americans. By the way, America was born under the sign of Aquarius.

Continuing with Aquarius rising, Avery: “He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries. The Person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way.”

If you’ve been reading my blogs, you know that instead of going back in time to make a point, like Beck, I’m at the present looking backward and forward. With my astrological configuration, in Astrologer’s Handbook I read that I’m here “to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevocable changes” in my life and others lives. Avery: “He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit. He is not one to hide his light under a bushel.”

Numerology says my “Life Lesson Number” is 7. Under 7, we read: “You are here to use and to develop your mind. . . You should learn to spend time by yourself, in the woods or by the seashore, where you can get in touch with your inner self and your deepest thoughts . . .” I’m living in the woods, largely by myself.

Astrologer’s Handbook, in reference to my being born with Saturn trine Pluto: “Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill.” I wonder how many people can say, at age 85, that their lives are as good as it gets. Clearly, I’m on my path of destiny. Believe me and be ready for the new world order. Believe the control freaks and be taken back a thousand years.

ky. earmarks

as long as we have got Mitch McConnell and Hal rodgers in Washington ,they are not going to give up their earmarks they might tell everyone they are. McConnells been in office 26 yrs and has steered millions on top of millions in pork projects. McConnell and Rodgers are the states worse.

when you have got the state broke, laying off its workers and then the Governor taking trips to Asia and most recent India and lately there favorite words are when we get out stimulas. according to one source john yarmonth (d) jefferson co. got around 9 billion for airport expansion for the vote on obamacare. they're building two new bridges in jefferson county across the Ohio at the cost of 4 billion , 264 million to tunnel under some property they have deem a historical site , 19 million for a mock tunnel and now they're talking about putting a toll on the 3 main bridges to pay for the new one . at one time they were talking about a 3 dollar toll. hows that for attracting jobs to the state. we have got over 1million dollars missing from one southern ky county ( its being investagated) and in one county 10 million dollars to build a bridge across a river , the bridge runs right into the side of a mountain ( they call it there own little bridge to no where) they finally opened it up to atv traffic.

now the state got stimulas money to build GREEN schools and then you hear of school superintendants making these hugh saleries and how about building a new high school with a state of the art football field including astro turf and jumbo-trons on each end of the field and i'm pretty sure this is not all of it.

we need to start at state level and clean house, vote all of them out and then make sure McConnell doesn't get re- elected

Charlie Rangel, Guilty of Parenticide,

Seeks Mercy as a ‘Poor Orphan’

The times they are a changing for the ridiculous, the shadowy or much worse . . . .

ITEM: It now seems indisputable that Barack Obama’s BOSSMAN (or, just so you can call me a racist, let’s call him: Barack’s “MASSA”) is George Soros, the world’s 37th richest man and the #1 BUSYBODY on the planet. One of the more shocking reads available is this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Party-Hillary-Radicals-Democratic/dp/1595550445

Multi-Billionaire currency-wrecker George Soros heads up or funds a group of American progressive foundations linked together within the Open Societies Initiative. By 2008 they had created a shadow government populated by such leaders as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and well-known names like Al Gore, etc. as well as numerous sixties and seventies radicals such as Bill Ayers, the bomber. Their purposes? Control of the government by progressives; destroying and then rewriting the U.S. Constitution and “revamping” the American lifestyle so that it’s “more coherent” and more “in line with the economic and environmental realities that the planet as a whole now faces.”

Soros made most of his vast fortune by collapsing currencies (his nickname is “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England”) such as the British Pound Sterling and the Hong Kong Dollar; and even (he says) collapsing evil regimes. Without proof, Soros claims that he personally drove the Soviet Union into financial collapse and ruin (his attack on Russian currency occurred well after the Soviet Collapse about a decade later in 1999 and while it earned him some money was inconclusive as far even as “destroying the entire economy” of that post-Soviet nation which Soros claimed he did). While that’s clearly a dubious claim, Soros’ raids on the money of Georgia (the former Soviet Socialist Republic), Slovakia, Thailand, England, Hong Kong, and Malaysia truly upset the apple carts in those countries but we’d like to know which of them he regards as an “evil regime.” Currently Soros is seeking to collapse the dollar and getting a lot of help from Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve’s monetizing of the American Debt and the Obama administration’s reckless spending policies.

They (the progressives who seek to “progress beyond the outdated and severely flawed U.S. Constitution) have via Soros’ network of interlocking (money-laundering) progressive institutes and foundations donated almost $2 Billion to progressives politicians and causes. Beneficiaries of Soros’ largess include Republicans (like John McCain) and a whole slew of Democrats over the last eleven years including over $300 million in an effort to unseat George Bush in 2004. Soros now controls roughly 95% of the Democratic Party’s message and people. Just as Obama and Hillary and McCain all hid their agenda behind a mask of moderatism in 2008, Soros’ people and organizations conceal their radical agenda behind good sounding rhetoric and fine-sounding institutional names such as “Open Societies” and the Tides Foundation, the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Joyce Foundation, The Apollo Alliance, Northeast Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Enterprise Community Partners, Emerald Cities Collaborative, ACORN, Institute for Policy Studies, Center for American Progress, Green for All Group, Alliance for Climate Protection, Equal Justice Society, Council on Environmental Quality, etc., etc. at least two dozen more shadowy groups. Mr. Soros’ single most recycled quote is this one, “The main obstacle to world STABILITY is the United States.”

One of the most surprising things about Soros is that both his father and he were “fluent in Esperanto,” a fact that George is reportedly highly likely to brag of to this very day. What is Esperanto? An artificial language that folks in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s tried to force upon the world in order that we might all be united in peace and understanding. In other words, today when the most frequent words exiting George Soros’ mouth are “global,” “globalism,” “global initiatives,” “global governance,” “global banking” and “new global world order”: George wants to create a whole new planetary order of things with him at the center pulling everyone’s strings and piling up more dough-re-mi in the process . . . sweet, sweet fellow, even though that evil Glenn Beck calls Soros, “Spooky Dude.”

ITEM: After 40 year as U.S. Representative from N.Y.C., N.Y. Charlie Rangel stormed out of an ethics hearings on Monday and was later found guilty of 11 ethical violations, he claimed he’d been denied due process because he hadn’t even been present for the procedure. This harkens back to the criminal convicted of killing his parents who sought the court’s mercy “for a poor orphan.”

ITEM: Perhaps there’s something in a name? Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes fame and infamy appears to have reached his nodding dotage akin to Andy Griffith’s apparent rapidly advancing senility. Mr. Rooney took umbrage with a poll which reported that President Obama’s job performance approval rating was 46%. Rooney claimed to have done a personal poll (nine persons) and found the president’s approval was actually 89%. Rooney opined that Obama was doing the best he could and that was good enough for him. Funny, did Mr. Rooney ever show anything like the same concern or courtesy for Mr. Obama’s predecessor?

ITEM: After once again making an economic-trip to the Orient and returning absolutely empty handed, once again Barack Obama claimed that great advancements had been made in “understanding” with the South Koreans, Chinese and Japanese. Actually what happened is that when Obama asked for consensus against the Chinese for currency manipulations on their Yuan, the other G-20 economic group members pointed out that the United States had twice in the last three months engaged in “Quantitative Easing” which threatened all Dollar-holders with severe decline in our currency’s buying power . . . a huge threat to all those countries that have been funding American’s deficit spending debacle by purchasing American treasury notes. Could this be a case of the Wok calling the Kettle black?

ITEM: Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, the rest of the Democratic Party leadership, and even (according to a recent poll) a large amount of Washington’s bureaucratic insiders are in denial about the meaning of the resounding defeat handed the Democrats in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 2nd. Their interpretation? “UNtargeted voter anger” indiscriminately attacking incumbents. Pelosi, therefore, feels justified in seeking to continue on as her party’s minority leader which must make Conservatives everywhere feel a thrill up their legs.

ITEM: Any truth to the rumor that claims of TEA Party ‘racism’ were actually well-founded? An independent study has sent forth the proposition that complaints against the Democratic Party and Obama, Pelosi etc. attributed to “racism” were actually protests by the Dems against perceived unfair treatment of immoral, unintelligent, incompetent, and craven politicians? A study of sequential posters from TEA Party activities of over 25,000 such placards revealed that less than 1% could be interpreted as racist in any way. Closer examinations showed that calling signs protesting “A black day for the Constitution” and the like really had no racist intent. Could it be that “Functionally-Incompetent” politicians are the newest minority group that the Dems need to protect?

ITEM: Multi-Billionaire currency-collapser George Soros who called 1944 “the best year of my life” repeatedly since then, served as a capo for the Nazis during the epoch when half a million fellow Hungarian Jews were sent to the gas chambers is still not slowing down in his efforts to bring order and sense to today’s world. Here’s part of an interview with Sixty Minutes that Soros took part in as Steve Kroft asked Soros about his “best year”:

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.

SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

SOROS: Not, not at all. Not at all, I rather enjoyed it.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute power.

George took time off from trying to destroy the American Dollar (aren’t our politicians doing a good enough job of it for you, Mr. Soros?) recently to invest $1.8 million in Media Matters (the leftwing group permanently recording Glenn Beck’s every word and permanently researching Beck’s past looking for indiscretions with the largest online data base on all things Glen Beck in the known universe . . . a search on their mediamatters.com website for “Glen Beck” yielded over 5440 articles) and to donate $1 million to National Public Radio (who promptly fired their only Black commentator Juan Williams for saying that when seeing Muslims in traditional garb on an airplane his immediate reaction was fear) to fund hiring 100 new “journalists.” Soros’ Tides Foundation has also funded a boycott effort via several (highly radical) environmental groups of TLC’s new series Sarah Palin’s Alaska which premiered to large viewership Monday night. More and more busy-body activities at every turn by (deep voice here) “Spooky-Dude” George. Rajjpuut himself has researched into the 80-year old Mr. Soros’ birth data and discovered that his name at birth in Hungary on August 12, 1930, was Andrew George Schwartz to a Jewish family with an anti-Semite mother . . . hmmm Andrew Schwartz, Andy Rooney, Andy Griffith, maybe there is something in a name after all? In any case serving as a capo for the Nazis as a 14 year old boy is justification for any weirdness manifested later in life, we love you and forgive you, Andy, ooops, and we mean, Georgie.

ITEM: Ben Bernanke, who on at least three public occasions since May of 2009 has said unequivocally, “We will NOT monetize the debt” meaning we will not usher in a wave of inflation by ‘quantitative easing’ (willy-nilly use of the money printing presses by his Federal Reserve) had by April of 2009 A) already printed bills amounting to nearly fifteen times the amount of circulating currency in the country in October, 2008 meaning the dollar potentially became 1/16 as valuable as it was on that date or potentially equal to 6.25 pennies B) in August bought large amounts of the treasury department’s bond sales with a QE1 printing of more money and C) this month repeated his sinning with QE2 printing of yet more funny-money. Well then again, perhaps it’s not “funny-money” after all; it all sounds very sad and playing right into the hands of Mr. Soros and his currency collapsing crew. By the way, Georgie, how can you create an Open Society Initiative and 33 other progressive funds to launder your money through and then speak extensively about “Shadow Governments” and their use in destroying currencies? Does that give you “a feeling of absolute power?”

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

Federal Judges

I feel the next issue the Tea Party should address is term limites on all federal juges. These people have to much power and it has to be controlled. They should not be elected but appionted for 2 to 4 years. NOBODY should have a life time job. Also, all congressmen and senators take a 15% pay cut and there staff. Plus they all have to pay their owin surance. Finall, social security and medicare should be left alone.Plus, all people on social security people get an annual ,at least 5% increase.

Flashback: When ‘Job Creation’ Involved ‘Universal Child Care’ and ‘Sitting Home and Eating Bon-Bons’Posted on November 16, 2010 at 9:21am by Jonathon M. Seidl Print » Email » Trevor Loudon over at NZ Patriot brings us this classic, possibly prophetic, 1997 clip from the National Jobs for All Coalition (which he cites as a “front for the Democratic Socialists of America”) conference.In the clip, panelist Heidi Hartmann talks about how people at the time were starting to talk about universal health care as well as universal child care. We are very familiar with the health care arguments, but what arguments were they using for universal child care?“…That in itself could be viewed as a job creation plan,” Hartmann said. In a nutshell the argument is jobs. But what comes before the ellipses is even more shocking. The “that” she’s referring to is this:“Whether you’re working or not you would have access to child care, you could use it to go to school, you could use it to sit home, eat bon-bons and watch TV, we don’t care. That in itself could be viewed as a job creation plan.”“Wouldn‘t that solve all of America’s problems?” Loudon asks.Comments (43)

Freeing Our Inner Desires

Using Our Outside Voice

Each of us has developed an internal filtering process that helps us choose which parts of our constant inner monologues get voiced outside of our heads. Sometimes the choice is based on what we consider to be polite or appropriate, using subtlety instead of directness to try to get our point across. Other times the choice is made based on our expectations of the other person and what we feel they should know about us, our feelings, and our needs. But our best chance of getting what we need is to communicate specifically by converting our inner voice to our outside voice.

This may seem unnecessary sometimes, especially when we think the other person has the same information we ourselves are working with, but we have to remember they also have their own inner voice, evaluating what they hear in light of their own issues and needs. With so much to consider and sift through, we are truly better off if we communicate precisely. Not only does doing this minimize the chance for misinterpretation, but voicing our thoughts it is an act of creation. We convert thought and imagination to sound, releasing it from the chamber of our minds into the outside world. This carries energy and intention with it, making our thoughts, wishes, and even dreams come true.


When we have the courage to speak our minds and use our voice to send the desires of our hearts from our inner world to the world outside, we take a bold step in making them happen. By removing fear of what others may think and expectation of what others should understand, we free ourselves and our thoughts from the bondage of the mental chamber and let loose our desires onto the canvas of the world. Next time we become aware that we have a choice about how to communicate, we can choose to use our outside voice and watch its creative power at work. DOM

There's a Hole in the Bucket Dear Henry

Hello Fellow Tea Partiers,

I share your core values and grave concern for our nation. I live in the state of Colorado where I run a licensed childcare out of my home. I am sickened by what I see here in many ways. I write to you today about one of them. I recently became aware that a family of five I know is receiving $1000.00 per month in food stamps. The mother of these children reports that there is no way she could possibly spend that much on food. She furthur states that she sells half of them to her mother for cash. She also claims she can buy food from the Schwan's Man and that she is able to purchase Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza. Many people are not aware of the fact that food stamps will purchase just about any food at the grocery store except for hot deli food. People on food stamps can buy pop, candy, premade frozen dinners, and just about any other type of crap food that show a strong correlation with health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, tooth decay, and a plethora of other problems. When these people are all done pigging out on crap food and laying around watching T. V., then WE THE PEOPLE will be paying their medical bills. They certainly spend more at the store than I do using good old American cash. I think it is about time that WE THE PEOPLE say ENOUGH to the whole food stamp scam!!!

What happened to supplemental foods? The same woman reports to me that she is too good to eat them. Rice, beans, canned meat, canned fruits, vegetables, and cheese just aren't good enough when food stamps will buy steak, lobster, crab, etc.....with our hard earned money. I say ENOUGH!!! If these people are able-bodied and refuse to work, then I say they refuse to eat! If they do want to eat, they can either get off their dead butts and get a job, go to the soup kitchen, or live of a staple of rice and beans like a third of the world does.

This is just one of the giant holes in the American Bucket. I say, "WE SHOULD FIX IT, DEAR HENRY. FIX IT!"

What do you say?

Please feel free to duplicate this message in its entirety and let's blow the whistle on the food stamp issue until the American people say, "WE AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. IF YOU DON'T WORK, YOU DON'T EAT."

LET"S SAVE OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
