ACTION

The history of America’s black people informs me that whites have thought blacks were inferior, moreover, it was dangerous to educate them, in fact against the law. What a terrible thought! George Washington owned slaves. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. Even the emancipator of America’s slaves, Abraham Lincoln, believed blacks were inferior. America is not the shining city on the hill some people claim. It is thought that America’s past needs to be blotted out, that we need to be transformed, to believe the ideas of progressives.

In the South, where I grew up, blacks (we called them the “N” word) were not allowed to dine in white restaurants, nor to drink from white drinking fountains. We had a black maid. When she used our bathroom, my mother cleaned the toilet seat with Lysol, she said, because all black people carried venereal diseases. It didn’t make sense to allow our maid to handle our food. I worried that I was going to be infected with a venereal disease.

A black person, ringing our front door bell, introducing herself as Mrs. Brown. dhe was applying for the job my mother advertised, my mother informed Mrs. Brown that black people don’t come to her front door, nor do they introduce themselves as Mrs. Brown. This black said she came from the North, where black people come to the front door and introduce themselves as Mrs. Brown. My mother sent her on her way and indignantly informed my father of her insolent behavior. They agreed that blacks from the north have a lot of gall.

When I was a boy, blacks all lived in “N”town. They had better stay where they belonged unless they had business in the white community. I saw blacks being beaten by the cops merely for being in a white community. It was felt that this was necessary. If they were not in a white community for a legitimate reason, it was only to steal anything they could get their hands on. They were inferior and had to be treated as inferiors. Beatings were something blacks understood, unbelievably a century after they were emancipated.

I was on a troop train during World War II, heading for Tacoma, Washington, where I was to board a troop ship. We were part of the invasion force of Japan. The train stopped in Atlanta, Georgia. I witnessed a black soldier from my troop train being turned away from the depot restaurant. He was good enough to be drafted to fight for America’s freedom, but not good enough to dine with us. Really! And we considered blacks inferior? Terrible!

Consider this: After World War II, the captured Nazi leaders were brought to trial by an international court. They pleaded innocent on the legal ground that they were merely following German law. After all, with regard to treatment of America’s blacks, German law was as fair. The Nuremburg trials held that Nazi leaders were guilty of violating human rights.

Consider this: The Taney Supreme Court, ostensibly, under the U. S. Constitution, held that Dred Scott, a captured runaway slave, was property, and the same as a mule was a beast of burden; he was not human. It is not against the law to terminate the life of a beast. The Nazis worked Germany’s Jews until they could work no more and then exterminated them the way you would an insect. By the Taney Court’s interpretation of the U. S. Constitution, Nazi Germany’s Jews were beasts; we are whatever the courts say we are. By intelligent reasoning, which is fundamental to the law, the Supreme Court is as wrong today was the Taney Court, as were Nazi Germany’s courts. Today, the Constitution is whatever the Supreme Court says it is.

It just so happens that one of the Nuremberg trial judges was an American Supreme Court justice. Justice Jackson, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, for the Court:

The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property . . .and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.

All of the flapdoodle above mentioned, called the law—and good citizens are those who obey the law—exactly what is the law? We were created with reason and logic, which is fundamental to the law. Indeed, we are not good citizens when we obey laws that clearly violate human rights. As a personal witness, I can tell you the German people learned this the hard way. I was a combat riflemen during World War II. Me and my buddies moved from the Rhine River completely across Nazi Germany. When we were done with our job, as a personal witness, I can tell you that Germany was flat on the ground, and deserved it.

It is impossible for me to understand why America’s authorities spent our hard earned money rebuilding Germany? The German people have never shown their appreciation. It is as though by some special inexplicable right we did the only thing we could do. It’s what Obama calls comprehensive or all inclusive law.

Sadly though, neither the Civil War nor World War II changed anything. Gross injustices in these United States, in violation of human rights, sanctioned by the law and courts, continued until Martin Luther King and his followers informed the American people that we, individually, under the law, have a personal responsibility, if we dare to call ourselves human. You have to give those brave souls credit for standing up to Bull Conner and his police dogs. It must have been terrifying.

Funny thing, from the news I got at the time, I didn’t see it the way I do now. I didn’t like people who marched in the street in protest, sort of like Obama. Arizona’s governor approved a law that could be discriminatory to Mexicans. We need to think comprehensively, about all inclusive law. We need to think about law that doesn’t offend anyone. Funny thing, it has never happened yet. In the meanwhile, human rights are being ignored. Funny thing, the same applies to federal income tax, and taking from the rich and giving to the poor. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

There can be no argument, if we are endowed with human intelligence, we believe that we are all human, whether we be black, brown, or white. Under the law of all times, given our history, we are forced to believe that we are all equal in our rights. Therefore, under the law of all times, there is no such thing as a government entitlement. It’s brute law. So, here we go again with abuses of human rights. Under the “Higher Law,” no one is government entitled to preferential treatment. Under the “Higher Law,” there can be no government mandated redistribution of wealth, no matter for what good cause. Never ever does the end justify the means, as Roosevelt’s New Deal law says. Our rights are God-given—and constitutionally guaranteed.

Entitlements are government expedience—brute law—and unfortunately, now out of control. The debt government is creating is unsustainable, and government brutes incapable of curbing its excesses. Yet, to our amazement, not one of America’s current representatives has mentioned the logical cure, instead choosing to address the symptoms of the problem they have created, and to go into secret meetings to hammer out solutions that keep them in control. It is brute law. Only government is capable of making the law all inclusive—understand for the good of all. It goes against natural law. You betcha! If you think only good thoughts, everything will be alright. Just keep hoping. Gee! Why didn’t I think of that?

If America is to be saved, it is imperative that we, the people, elect representatives dedicated toward immediately cutting taxes and drastically cutting the cost of government—and until the budget is balanced. Instead of depending on redistribution of the wealth of the nation, it is imperative that the economy be first, last and always, where all of the wealth is produced. It is solely that to cure brute law; that is comprehensive or all inclusive law, and the current destructive addiction of government dependence.

I never knew until Beck’s Founding Father’s presentation on May 28, 2010 that some of America’s Founding Fathers were black. With 95 percent of America’s blacks voting for Marxist, leftist, all inclusive law—brute law—which is determined to change America into a socialist state reminiscent of Nazi Germany, I’m sure that the 95 percent black vote could not know that their ancestors fought for America’s independence. They could not know that along with Paul Revere rode a black man shouting “the the British are coming.” They could not know that a mixed congregation of blacks and whites, in a church, when told the British were coming, grabbed their rifles and fought them. They could not know that when Washington crossed the Delaware River, as shown in the famous painting, there were two blacks in the boat. They could not know that some of those Founding Fathers in Congress were black, and one was Speaker of the House. America’s 95 percent of blacks voting for brutes could not know that their ancestors were American heroes, indeed, who saved America from British domination, some with the gift of oratory that put whites to shame.

Indeed, what a shame that 95 percent of the blacks voting for Marxist brutes—and I myself learned all of this for the first time on Beck’s Founding Father’s show—uninformed blacks voting for leftist radicals who don’t appear to know that their ancestors, in every one of America’s wars, have given their lives for the cause of liberty and justice, calling themselves African Americans because they don’t know the truth. Their ancestors could have been here before mine, and just as interested in life, liberty, and property as mine.

Pray tell me why you are willing to settle for a pittance from government—just enough to keep you forever dependent, and not only that, but taking from those struggling to get a foot hold, depriving them of their life, liberty, and property? Why is it that I never knew, nor do 95 percent of you voting for radical leftists know that your ancestors were every bit as American as whites? The truth will set you free.

The cause of liberty and justice, be you black, white, or brown, is in everyone’s soul. Come one, come all. A new star is born, The Tea Party—millions of determined Americans with no prejudices, individuals who believe life, liberty, and property is a God-given right, let us make the Tea Party the brightest star of all. Let us make man in our image (Gen.1:26).

If one wants to know where America is headed, one only has to look to the history books. Oh, wait -- it's not in there anymore. Well, maybe the library (if they're still open). Then again, we have the world at our fingertips, so, may I suggest a little online tutorial.

ROLLING BACK THE SOCIALIST TIDE

"Why on earth would Americans... want to kill off the engine of their prosperity?" http://bit.ly/9MqJd9

I'm Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 which I voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer.
Rancher Rob Krantz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.

The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.

Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.

One man told of two illegal's who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can't leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.

The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border.

Federal prisons have over 35% illegal's and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegal's. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.

The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.

The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop.
The border can be secured. We have the technology we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under.

I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central American or South American countries? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish also. We have already lost our history it is no longer taught in our schools. And we have lost our borders.

The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany . Are you kidding. The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal's from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause like a traffic stop to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote, get a hunting license, etc.. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street etc... The Socialist who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something and that something the Socialist wants us to do is just let them come. They want the "Transformation" to continue.

Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free.

Faith in natural law, either the law of the jungle or faith in divine providence, a higher law exclusively for the highest of life forms on planet Earth, America’s Founding Fathers were of the faith that America’s founding was an act of divine providence, without the usual and dividing supernatural characteristics that go with various religions. “We are one nation under God.” It worked to make America the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth, but now we find ourselves divided.

Together with prosperity, power being native to all sentient beings, power opposing reason, reason fundamental to the Higher Law, the background of American constitutional law, the current activist Supreme Court, opposing reason fundamental to the law, says that in light of today’s needs the law is what we say it is. This house divided will not long stand.

The law in America has emerged part Higher Law, part political. The Ciceronian version of the Higher Law, as regarding human equality:

“There is no one thing so like or so equal to one another in every instance man is to man. And the corruption of custom and the variation of opinion did not induce an imbecility of minds and turn them aside from the course of nature, no one would more resemble himself than all men would resemble all men. Therefore, whatever definition we give to man will be applicable to the entire human race.”

Ah yes, the definition: Philosopher Nietzsche wondered if God made a mistake when he created man or if man made a mistake when he created God. Nietzsche came to the conclusion that the individual was responsible for his own choices. From this came the God is dead notion. To the contrary, I found faith in self and faith in God are one. Since then, regardless of what goes on externally, internally, I have the power to cope.

But getting back to the activist Supreme Court, Justice Brandeis, a Roosevelt appointee, declared, “Property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our court that they have made the means the end.” Under Roosevelt’s New Deal law, the end justifies the means. Redistribution of the fruits of the individual’s labor is for the good of all. Although I fought this idea for years, that’s fine by me now. Being one of the government entitled, I’m on the receiving end. By divine providence big daddy government is taking care of me, like Cicero said, From the course of nature, no one would more resemble himself than all men would resemble all men. Therefore, whatever definition we give to man will be applicable to the entire human race.

Let’s see how that works. And God said, Let us make man in our image (Gen 1:26). In the end, who wins under “the end justifies the means,” those who depend on government, or government? We are currently given faith choices: Obama’s “transformation” to socialism, or God in Heaven, or free enterprise—that is, faith in a supernatural government, Obama style, faith in supernatural God, religion’s style, or faith in self, divine providence, and the Higher Law, the background of American constitutional law. Personally speaking, long ago, I chose the Higher Law. Ever since, in spite of everything the establishment has done to discourage me, for me, everything has been in divine order.

Just by coincidence, in the month Obama was elected, Saturn went into unfavorable alignment with Pluto. It will remain in unfavorable alignment throughout Obama’s term of office. According to distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas, who demonstrates the existence of astonishingly consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history and biography, what is taking place today in America is exactly what he predicted.

“Pay as you go,” something for which I didn’t ask, nevertheless, for me a blessing, for those who follow, a great burden, yep, “you picked a fine time to lead us, Barrack.”

When one looks honestly at the current runaway government spending, one knows the economic consequences are going to be horrific. The scariest part of it is that there has not been the political will—not in any politician now in office—to temper the ingrained eagerness to satisfy that lofty ego that says—“destiny put me here to lead.” Alas, my Tea Party friends, if they were leaders, they would be talking about how they planned on cutting taxes and balancing the budget.

With the public debt now at the World War II level, and the economy sick, our “leaders” have set America’s course in unchartered water, and hide from us what they are doing. I recall that after World War II the economy was booming and we workers were heading for the American Dream.

Not surprisingly, the Tea Party has suddenly become America’s brightest star. The Tea Party, from recent elections, is telling both political parties that maybe it isn’t the best thing to continue raiding the taxpayers’ pocketbooks and handing out the fruits of their labor for votes, if they intend to remain “leading” America.

This is only half of the problem; that is, if the politicians are to remain “leading” America. To be sure, we don’t want to push grandma in her wheelchair down the stairs. We surely don’t want to take food away from our children. Never, never do we want to allow the greedy rich to exploit workers. The list goes on and on. In short, no way do we Tea Party members want to do any of the horrible things those terrible Republicans would do by way of solving the problem. So, what do we do, pray tell, about the growing millions of Americans—and those undocumented millions—who can’t exist without taxpayer help?

Sadly, politicians, whether they be Republican or Democrat, have failed to come forth with any answer. They debate endlessly, year after year, and still they do not have the foggiest clue of what to do. Therefore, it is up to we in the Tea Partly to help them “lead” us.

Now that politicians are beginning to see the merits of distancing themselves from our President (with his poll ratings in a free fall) and the very name, Tea Party (those “tea baggers” [hardi-har-har]), implying the answer, perhaps now even President Obama (with his Hitler mustache [hardi-har-har]) might see that rather than joining the American revolution, by joining the Marxist Revolution, the one that now leaves Europe up a creek without a paddle, hopefully, if he ever hopes to lead us, he might see that we Tea Party members want to help him reinterpret our Constitution; he’s been taught wrongly by Harvard Law School and the South Chicago mafia.

Let it be known that we Tea Party members surely agree that we don’t want to sit silently watching America go bankrupt , while our “leaders” dither endlessly over what to do. We go bankrupt; the politicians lead us; we lose our rights; the politicians direct our every move; exactly what they want. Realistically, looking at history, it can happen. We, the people, surely don’t want that.

What’s the right answer, the only logical answer, and the last thing politicians want? We want to faze out the New Deal and the Great Society, all of those programs the politicians have implemented to keep themselves in office, do we not—as the Supreme Court would say, “in light of today’s needs?”

Oh! And by the way, President Obama, being a white male, I’m not ridiculous. I reason that a Latino woman does not make the best American judge. Mr. President, in all due respect, the way you think is the way you act. We don’t think America needs to be remade. We don’t think we need your Marxist minded czars. We are not for your brand of “social justice.” We don’t accept your idea of the whole world being inclusive in our laws. We are not one-worlders. We want our borders made secure. From the way you think, Mr. President, it doesn’t appear that you are an American. Why don’t you let us see your papers? You appear to be undocumented. Actually, Mr. President, we’ve got far better ideas on the law in America than a Latino woman brings us.

I’m proud to be a member of the Tea Party. God bless America! Mr. President, in all due respect, join us in our effort to bring liberty and justice for all, or go to wherever you came from and let us get on with our task.

I have been a member of this site for a couple months now, and I am still confused as to what the plan or vision for this site is. If the whole idea of the Tea Party is to take our country back, then we need to figure out who we are going to support for the primaries that occurring right now and the election this fall. With this in mind I cannot find any information on this site about any candidates, let alone those that the members of this site or other Tea Party members favor. If I don't know who is even running, it makes it rather difficult to stay in the game (so to speak). I occassionaly get an email telling me that yet another Tea Party backed candidate won the primary, but it would be nice to know who these individuals are beforethe election actually occurs.

So what is the plan, who are we looking at, and what do we like/not like about the other guy/gal?

The USA Today

USA Today – “Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year (42%), a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.”

“At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010(58%).”

“Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs.”

“The trend is not sustainable, says University of Michigan economist Donald Grimes. Reason: The federal government depends on private wages to generate income taxes to pay for its ever-more-expensive programs. Government-generated income is taxed at lower rates or not at all, he says.”

USA Today is looking at the tip of the iceberg. We need to look at what lies beneath the surface to know the cure.

Like USA Today says, my Social Security income and disabled World War II veteran benefits are not taxable. It means considerable in what I can afford. My gratitude to the taxpayers. I owe you. The least I can do is to give you the benefit of 84 years of experience.

I volunteered to fight for America’s freedom in World War II, not expecting anything. I did expect, however, for government to mind its own business. In my view, government was never intended to directly grant aid to individuals. There is nothing in my Constitution on grants in aid. After World War II, the America people were on their way to the American dream. I was engaged in a prosperous private enterprise. Had government minded its own business, I would have in all likelihood retired a millionaire.

First, it was Roosevelt’s New Deal law during the Great Depression, which Roosevelt caused to linger by favoring unions and grants in aid to individuals. World War II ended the Great Depression. America was put to work building a war machine. This Great savior of the Great Depression, who saved the meek and the poor from starvation by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, how noble of the man, then it was Lyndon Johnson’ Great Society law, followed by Nixon, with his price controls, which put me out of business, thanks to the New Deal, the Great Society, and price controls, the IRS lawlessly put me on the street. The courts looked the other way. I took the story of endless IRS mistakes against me, with the courts’ tacit approval, to the press. The United States was publically exposed for the fraud it is. I sent the evidence to my congressional representatives. Not one peep from anyone in Washington. What more do you want for proof that your congressional representatives are self-serving frauds talking out of both sides of their mouths. I have the documentation.

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.” He said this and not one peep. The worst thing government could do is to give the meek and poor a handout. What they need is a leg up. What they get is a pittance for voting for the biggest fraud of all times, the United States of America. What irony! America’s government is no better in principle than the Nazi government me and my buddies defeated in World War II.

The obvious reasons for the crises:

What is needed, the Obama people say, is “comprehensive” immigration reform—law that is all inclusive. You betcha! This is what we need to keep the frauds in Washington in control of our lives. Over 50 percent of all union workers are employed by the government, compared with only 17 percent in 1980. Government workers make about $10 more per hour than the average private sector employee. And not only that, they receive lucrative pensions when they retire. Inclusive of whom, Obama? Get outa here!

Not one peep of protest in Washington. Those frauds are not about to protect us or defend our southern border. All we hear is possible remedies for the fraud they have imposed on us, never the cause or the cure. Obama says he is a Roosevelt Democrat. What does this mean? Roosevelt, in 1933: “While it isn’t written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation.” Roosevelt in 1937: “The balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the courts in direct contradiction of the high purposes of the framers of the Constitution. We have reached the point where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court.” Save the Constitution, my eye. What did I tell you! Roosevelt gave my Constitution his middle finger, and so does Obama.

Barrack Hussein Obama’s government reminds us of Hussein’s, Hitler’s, Stalin’s, and Mao’s governments—and don’t leave out America’s ACLU. You got it folks. Pull out all the stops. We’re gonna change our way of livin. Yea, to what? They all should be ridden out of Washington on a rail.

Ever since Roosevelt, from Washington it has been trashing the Founding Fathers; discouraging America’s spiritual life; encouraging dependence on government. For shame! All you people who vote for the progressives have a “right” to a decent standard of living—by redistribution of the wealth of the nation. Yea, right on! Just let Big Daddy Obama do all he needs to do to end the crises, leaving us all either taxpayer slaves or spineless jellyfish dependent on government.

Obama wants to give America “cap and trade,” by his own admission, significantly raising the price of electricity. He’s already given America ObamaCare, a shell game aimed at raising the cost of health care, so everyone has the “right” to heath care. Yea! And he’s bailed out those too big to fail, and all on borrowed money, creating an unsustainable debt. Yea! And he remains looking for more ways to send us to the cleaners, of course, in the interest of spreading our great wealth with them that have so little (sob). And who wants you when you’re old and grey? We can save a bundle by taking health care away from the old folks, after having made us government dependents. Right on Obama. You and Hitler are bed fellows.

Yes indeed! There’s nothing like crises to implement change. But hold on there, you’ve left your brains behind the door. Besides being a bigger liar than Bill Clinton (I didn’t think it possible) Obama is not above using bribery to sell out the American people. Galloping on a fast horse in full retreat, Obama goes about the world apologizing for America. And there’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, too, and her numbskull idea of a “global village.” You betcha! Everyone in the world has a “right” to a decent existence. If an American family has an annual income of $30,000, by world standards, this family is wealthy. If Obama, the Clintons, and their good friend, George Soros, have their ways, the American people can expect a drastic cut in living standards. But all of this drastic change is for what good purpose, folks?

A thousand years ago, while the West was hopelessly under the control of self-serving authorities (just like those we have now) in the church and palaces of Europe, in the “Dark Ages,” the people living in hopeless poverty, China was prospering under a free enterprise system. What comes around goes around.

In The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, The Roman judge Cicero said, “Not all things are necessarily just which are established by civil laws and institutions and nations. Justice identifies with obedience to the written laws—written, forbidding certain things and commanding others. If it were possible to constitute right simply by the commands of the people, by the decrees of princes, by the adjudications of magistrates, then all that would be necessary in order to make robbery, adultery, or the falsification of wills right and just would be a vote of the multitude.” How about that! Cicero spoke these words more than 2,000 years ago. Roosevelt changed America’s fundamental law during a time of crises to give himself great power. The sole purpose of the slippery, slimy frauds in Washington, D.C. is to rob us of our energy and use it against us for their own aggrandizements. Their ploy is as old as the hills.

What a laugh! Cicero was dispossessed and run out Rome by the powers that be, reminding us that Jesus was crucified, thanks to a Roman governor, who ceremoniously washed his hands. It reminds us of America’s courts saying we must interpret the Constitution in light of today’s needs--as determined by the courts, of course, while implying there is no such thing as intrinsic principles that never change. Justice Black, in fact, said the law is what we say it is. How nice!

You betcha! “You picked a fine time to lead us, Barrack.” With his right hand on the Bible, Obama swore to protect and defend the Constitution. Notice that when he signs his name on a law he uses his left hand. Obviously, his left hand was behind his back with his fingers crossed when he took the oath of office.

The Underlying Reasons:

Now for the reasons for the crises, that which lies beneath the surface, which are not the subject of discussion in economics classrooms, not on the news, in the White House or in Congress. Now for the underlying reasons for the public’s failing interest in the doctrines and dogmas of religion, which are not discussed by theologians. Our mighty ship of state is sinking. We’re losing faith in an Almighty God in Heaven. Take note that Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, who spoke of God-given rights, was himself a deist. He believed in the existence of Providence on the basis of reason, without reference to the supernatural God in Heaven conventional religions give us. Gee! Here’s a God we can never find without the help of the authorities, each of whom knows whose God is the real God, and uses this to brainwash us. They are only doing what comes naturally, folks.

At long last, there is an awakening of what God is, along with a deep mistrust of the establishment. The reasons are not being discussed in the classroom, on the news, in government, in churches, synagogues, or in mosques, but for sure, the reasons are being discussed. There is a groundswell building, I can tell you. Deep down you know it as well as I know it.

I get my reasons from the Internet, from books on astrology, numerology, books on history, on philosophy, from the cutting edge of science, and yes, even in the Bible. Personal experience plays a big role in my reasoning. I don’t receive comments pro or con on my far out reasons, I presume, because from birth our education is designed to keep us on the “straight and narrow,” unaware that we have the capability of being in touch with a dimension of infinite possibility.

Without a thought, we simply accept our present state of technology. A hundred years ago, people would have laughed at you for envisioning what was to come. We’re here with increasing purpose. We are not making the connections. For that very reason, this is a very dangerous time.

Children have great imaginations. My parents let me know that I asked too many questions. I had to look within for answers, and usually found the wrong answers. I learned the right answers in the school of hard knocks. But my rebirth didn’t come until midlife, when everything I’d worked for went up in smoke. I took the road less traveled. My journey began with my Constitution. When I studied it, I felt that voices from the past were speaking to me. I felt a bigger than life calling, a spiritual calling. I discovered my God-self. Since then, God has served me well. I could not ask for more.

People feel a spiritual calling from many different sources, and not a few from their own egos. We’ve got the Bible thumpers, those who kill in God’s name, those locked up in insane asylums, and Obama—how do we distinguish real from false callings?

Compare Jesus with Obama. Jesus was a man of influence, a vagabond when he could have been a king. Most of us would not have the job of President of the United States on a bet. Compare Obama’s influence with Jesus’ influence. Whereas Jesus is judged the most influential man who ever lived, Obama’s influence is in a free fall.

The History of our Spiritual Life:

The Age of Pisces began around the time of Jesus of Nazareth’s birth. The Star of Bethlehem led the three wise men to the place of his birth. In Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Pisces,” I read, “Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feeling of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors.” By the way, the sign of Pisces is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, accounting for the great division in the United States. The good news is that the Age of Pisces is fading into the past.

External factors can be material things; can be an almighty God in Heaven; can be an almighty government in Washington, D.C. , but cannot be an internal God-self. In The Physics of Consciousness, under “A God for Tomorrow,” I read, “Einstein, who did not believe in any personal God, nevertheless had an odd faith in the orderliness of nature, a faith that induced him to seek the truths he found for us in a inner sense of an almost mystical conception of the material world. . .it follows that the God we find must be a personal God. . . Now we see that the independent existence of matter and absoluteness of space were false dogma. . . But 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. . . Consciousness, the substance of this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.”

A clue on our future:

We are entering the Age of Aquarius. The United States, by the way, was born under the sign of Aquarius. My astrological chart tells me that I was born Virgo with Aquarius Rising. In The Rising Sign, under “Aquarius Rising,” I read, “He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. 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 . . .He is a chance-taker. . . He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit.”

In Astrologer’s Handbook, I read, “Aquarians have eccentric temperaments and are determined and stubborn. . .There is no affectation or snobbery in the Aquarian personality but a dislike of spurious imitation and hypocrisy in any form. Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others.”

Aquarians, I learn, know where the spotlight can hit. On the other hand, being born with Virgo, my sun sign, my inner nature, and Aquarius, my rising sign, the part I show the world, as I age, I learn, I become more the part I show the world, from Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Virgo,” I learn that Virgos are forever seeking knowledge, “they learn that the mind of man is a good servant but a bad master, especially when the mind usurps the sovereignty of the spirit.” Virgos like to bring order out of confusion. But they are “much too practical and intelligent to allow anyone to make martyrs of them. When the demands made on them become excessive and unreasonable, they say no, with conviction.” Although Aquarians know where the spotlight can hit, Virgos do not want the spotlight on them.

“In Cosmos and Psyche (taken from the back cover), distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas demonstrates the existence of an astonishingly consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history and biography. Based on thirty years of meticulous research, this brilliant book points to a radical change in our understanding of the cosmos, shining new light on the drama of history and on our own critical age. It opens up a new cosmic horizon that reunites science and religion, intellect and soul: modern reason and ancient wisdom.”

Tarnas reveals that the planets Saturn and Pluto, in their alignments, have a great deal to do with what is taking place on our planet. He writes that in the month and year that Obama was elected president, November, 2008, Saturn and Pluto went into unfavorable alignment and will remain so during most, if not all of his term of office.

During said unfavorable cyclic alignment, writes Tarnas: “An atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four year periods, as did widespread epochal closure: the ‘end of an era,’ ‘the end of innocence,’ the destruction of an earlier mode of life that in retrospect may seem to have been marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naiveté, denial, and inflation.”

The good news:

In my astrological chart, my Saturn is trine Pluto. A trine is the most favorable of alignments. In Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Saturn Trine Pluto,” I read, “This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized. . .They are able to work slowly and make fundamental changes in their own lives and others’ lives.”

For whatever it is worth to you, I have an audio tape from astrologer James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy, in which he states:

We are going to take a look at two key aspects of your astrological data, your Sun sign and your Moon sign. “We are going to talk about them archetypically. The emotional issue is pointed out by your Moon sign—how this feels as you go through life—talk about your Sun sign—again archetypically—how you naturally uplift people, to give you some good information as you try to find out what your spiritual mission is.

We have a new image of what it means to be a human being, how to think of ourselves as growing, evaluating, understanding, that we can connect with our God‑self energy. You grow in a Virgo way. Virgo is that part of us that is oriented toward conscientious work. At first unconsciously—and everyone has a different way of reacting—the object is to bring into consciousness the reactions and determine whether or not the reaction is mature or immature—when we can step back and look at our higher self, when need becomes strength.

The Vigo ego integration with higher self, and the higher self perspective is going to be defined along the lines of the Virgo archetype, which is, of course, our need for organization: to be effective, to be conscientious about making things better.

We all start at immature levels of ego functions. We have a sense of security based on how much we feel in charge of our lives. We want to keep the idea that things are going fine. We have goals we want to achieve. We need to manipulate things to keep everything just right. We need to keep this allusion for security purposes. If new information comes in, we can act defensively. We don't want information that rocks the boat.

What happens is that this allusion, based on security control, has to shift to our inner connection, our God‑self force that gives us a sense of well being no matter what's going on out there. We have to make that opening on the inside.”

As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent.

In Numerology and The Divine Triangle, I’m given the number “7” as my “Life Lesson Number.” You are here to use and develop your mind. . . You should learn to spend time by yourself, in the woods or by the seashore, where ou can get in touch with your inner self and your deepest thoughts because your destiny is to use your mind. Coincidentally, I live in the tall timber far removed from the glitz. I spend a great deal of my time searching my mind for answers.

This is so sad:

Obama will not speak at Arlington National Cemetary this year. with more soldiers killed under his 15 months in command than in the entire previous 8 yrs, --" The commander in chief is going to speak at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery's annual Memorial Day ceremony", in, guess where, Illinois!

Then he is hosting a party, to honor our soldiers? OH NO, never that! He is having a party to honor Paul McCartney, you know, that great American Patriot who has risked life and limb to preserve our freedom?

How many more times will he slap this country our military and our traditions in the face and get away with it in the lamestream media? We need to let the media know we will be boycotting his speech this year and all networks airing it. That we will find and watch only whatever ceremony we can find that is held at Arlington cemetary or our local programs. Everyone who has a national cemetary in their state should attend whatever ceremony will be held there but we all need to ignore Obama. Get this out to all your friends, facebook, twitter and all the other groups and sites you belong to and post on.

URGENT! Federal legislation would override North Carolina, and other states bans on union organizing. It would bankrupt state and local gov. and municipalities. Harry Reid introduced S. 3194 under a rule that allows it to bypass committee review and proceed to the floor in as little as 48 hours. And guess which union ...is involved? SEIU!

Collective Bargaining Bill for Public Safety Workers Could Cost Taxpayers

Federal legislation would override North Carolina ban on union organizing

By Donna Martinez

May 18, 2010

RALEIGH — Nearly 32,000 North Carolina state and local public safety employees could begin negotiating contracts with unions if recently introduced federal legislation becomes law. S. 3194, The Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2009, sponsored and introduced April 12 by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would override North Carolina law forcing the state, municipalities, and counties to recognize and bargain collectively with unions representing police, firefighters, emergency medical responders, and others.

Union officials refused to speak to Carolina Journal about the pending legislation. Neither the SEIU, which is affiliated with the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC), the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police, nor the International Association of Firefighters responded to repeated requests for comment.

Organized labor’s silence stands in contrast to vocal concerns expressed by local officials and associations over costs to taxpayers, burdens to administrators, the ability of law enforcement to nimbly respond, and constitutionality of the legislation.

The bill could become law quickly and without substantive debate. Reid introduced S. 3194 under a rule that allows it to bypass committee review and proceed to the floor in as little as 48 hours.

No action had occurred as of press time.

S. 3194 would override North Carolina General Statute 95-98, which for 51 years has prohibited public sector collective bargaining. S. 3194 would let public safety employees choose to be represented by a union and have their hours, wages, and terms and conditions of employment determined by collective bargaining. Supervisors and managers would be exempt.

The North Carolina League of Municipalities estimates 28,000 municipal and county law enforcement workers and paid firefighters would fall under the bill. The State Office of Personnel puts the number of public safety positions in state government at nearly 3,800, including members of Highway Patrol, employees of the State Bureau of Investigation, and others.

“From my experience, it would be costly to local governments,” said Wayne Bowers, city manager of Greenville and former city manager of Gainesville, Fla., where collective bargaining is law. “We had one full-time labor relations person, we had a staff assistant to that labor relations director, we had one city attorney who spent just about full time on labor relations issues, and we occasionally had to hire outside attorneys.” Cost to Gainesville: roughly $250,000.

Mint Hill Police Chief Tim Ledford, president of the North Carolina Association of Chiefs of Police, believes collective bargaining would bring tax increases and layoffs. NCACP opposes the bill. Ledford, once a union official in a different industry, says he understands rank-and-file officers see collective bargaining as a path to higher compensation. However, his experience showed him union contracts hurt good workers by protecting slackers: “With unions, everybody gets the same across the board.”

Compensation costs will rise with a unionized public sector work force, according to Chris Edwards, director of tax policy studies for the Cato Institute. In the Cato report Public-Sector Unions (PDF), Edwards writes that after adjusting for state-to-state differences in the labor market, “public-sector unions increase average pay levels by roughly 10 percent.”

Rebecca Troutman of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners says local law enforcement officers receive a competitive salary, a 5 percent 401(k) contribution by their employers every year, a robust pension plan, and a separation allowance.

S. 3194 is an expensive, unfunded mandate, according to Ellis Hankins of the League of Municipalities. “It’s going to result in the same services being delivered at a much higher cost,” Hankins said. Like the county commissioners’ group, the league views collective bargaining and S. 3194 as a major threat that would create an adversarial relationship between employee and employer and lead to collective bargaining with other public employees.

Hankins points to Vallejo, Calif., as the poster child for what can happen when officials have no flexibility to cut budgets. In 2008, Vallejo declared bankruptcy after unions refused to renegotiate contracts. Three-quarters of Vallejo’s general fund budget went to public safety worker compensation. A bankruptcy appellate panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed the city was insolvent and ordered changes to the agreements.

Lack of operational flexibility is Ledford’s concern. “You’ve got to be able to make decisions on the fly and on the spot — make immediate decisions. With a union you can’t do that. You’ve got to get buy-in from the union rep before you can make decisions about anything that affects the employee,” he said.

Fraternal Order of Police President Chuck Canterbury addressed “the boogeyman of collective bargaining having an adverse affect on public safety” before Congress last month. He said public safety officers who responded after the 9/11 attacks and Pentagon police who responded to a shooting this year were covered by collective bargaining agreements. “None of those called to action in these most extreme of circumstances paused to contemplate whether any of their actions would impact current or future negotiations,” Canterbury said.

The North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs hasn’t taken a position on the bill, but President Frank Burns thinks North Carolina’s small towns could become all-volunteer forces if S. 3194 passes. Burns, fire chief of Kings Mountain, questions whether small towns could afford collective bargaining rules on hours worked, pay rates, benefits, and duty requirements. He doesn’t think an all-volunteer force would impact service adversely. Burns says volunteers comprise 80 percent of North Carolina’s 50,000-strong firefighting force, while 20 percent are paid.

Among North Carolina's Washington delegation, Republican Sen. Richard Burr opposes S. 3194. On May 7, he told NewsRadio680 WPTF he doesn’t see the bill coming up during the regular session of Congress but Burr did say, “I’m alarmed at what might happen in a lame-duck session of Congress post the November election, between then and January when the new Senate is seated.”

Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan’s office didn’t respond to CJ’s request to learn her position. In September 2008, then-candidate Hagan told Greensboro News & Record reporter Mark Binker, in a voice-mail message posted on the paper’s website: “Once I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, I want you to know that I will never support a bill at the federal level that mandates states allow collective bargaining of state government employees. I truly believe that’s a state rights issue. That’s my strong belief and that’s how I’ll vote.”

Hankins believes S. 3194 violates every principle of federalism and might be unconstitutional. “There really are good legal arguments that the legislation is beyond constitutional powers of the Congress. If they can do this, they can do about everything,” Hankins said.
