Counties in Red are Republican / Counties in Blue are Democrat
Interesting Statistics

From Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law,
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out facts of 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19 / Won by Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000 / Republicans: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds,"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican
won by Republicans was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens
of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens
living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of
government welfare.

Professor Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between
the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy , with some forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

Columbus Day

Columbus Day, the day Columbus brought European corruption to America, the Canadians celebrate this day as one to give thanks. Why? I’ll try to answer my question.

One hundred-seventeen years after Columbus arrived, not to mention what took place with the arrival of Cortez and the Catholic invasion of Mexico—just look at south of the border even today; it is appalling—in the interim of this southern fiasco, in 1609, England’s King James established Jamestown in what is now Virginia. The occupants of Jamestown had little more than the people who begin civilization 5,000 years earlier. It is of vital interest today of what happened to make a 5,000 year leap in 500 years. It is of vital interest of what the Declaration of Independence, America’s adamant departure from European corruption on July 4, 1776, meant.

Unfortunately, ninety-nine percent of the American people would say “so what” to the fact that the zodiac gave the birth of America the sign of Aquarius, the water-bearer to humanity. I venture to say that few, if any Christians connect “in earth as in heaven” in the Lord’s Prayer with the Age of Aquarius.

Three Persian astrologers, the Magi, followed the Star of Bethlehem to the birthplace of the Christ-child. It’s in the Gospel of St. Matthew. Christians, it appears, have selective understanding, the same as all religions.

We are told religion is a thing separate from the law—separation of the church and state, that is. Poppycock! The governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, a Roman, asked Jesus if he believed he was king of the Jews. Jesus said his kingdom was in heaven. Is heaven and earth separate? Not according to Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. He said “in earth as it is in heaven.” Separation of earth with heaven has to be accomplished to make the authoritative answer work, which is what was done. Pontius Pilate washed his hands of this Jewish problem. Jesus had to go. He was a serious threat to the powers that be.

In quantum physics, the study of the microcosmic, a dimension of the universe that is not yet physical in the sense that we know the physical, classical physics says it doesn’t relate to our world. Let us spin this idea in the opposite direction. The ancient sages of India believed that so is the microcosmic, so is the macrocosmic. Therefore, “in earth as it is in heaven.” You can’t divide the universe for convenience’s sake. This is not part of our teaching. Still, to make a 5,000 year leap in a tenth the time—how do you figure it?

Carl Jung coined the word synchronistic. Wikipedia: the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. I’ve spent years going over the events in my life. There are too many coincidences to say they are not synchronistically connected.

“In earth as it is in heaven,” the ancient Mayan calendar is based synchronistic happenings. Richard Tarnas places September 11, 2001, as significant in the earth and heaven relationship. In Cosmos and Pysche, Tarnas goes into great detail on why he believes there is consistency between the outer planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history. He spent 30 years studying the alignments of the outer planets. By the way, Saturn and Pluto went into unfavorable alignment in November 2008. That’s bad news. Obama was elected in November 2008.

The thing that impresses me the most, though, is quantum physics discoveries, which brings religion, the law, and science together into one mold. In a few words, in Even Harris Walker’s The Physics of Consciousness, under “A God for Tomorrow,” “But it is with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the found of creation.” “And God said, Let us make man in our image” (Gen. 1:26).

“Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality,” states Walker, “that defines the observer,” does it not have fundamental existence? Giving thanks for Columbus’ discovery of America is in the quantum mind we each possess—the basic reality for our existence as a free people. We are now being put to the test: independence or one and all for the collective good. Who has a good word to say about the collective good? Based on past experience, is it something to be thankful for? Pray tell us why.

Teachers and administrators

confronting the issue of four bullied students who

died by their own hands must get involved to end

bullying, an attorney for grieving


families said Monday. Some of the student deaths followed

bullying that was "incessant, it was constant, and the teachers

and the administrators for whatever reason took a hands-off

, laissez-faire approach and didn't get involved and stop this

at its inception," Ken Myers said on NBC's "Today" show.

Families of victims told the NBC show there is a frightening

pattern of bullying-related suicides in the district.

"They were little terrorists," Janis Mohat, whose son Eric

shot himself in 2007, said on "Today." "They flicked his

ear, they pushed him into lockers, they called him gay,

fag. The bullies went up to him and said, 'Why don't you

go home and shoot yourself? It's not like anyone

would care.'"



The Associated Press reported in detail Friday about the

deaths of four Mentor High School students between 2006

and 2008. Three were suicides, one an overdose of a

ntidepressants. All four students had been bullied.

The district would not comment for the story.


Mentor Superintendent Jacqueline Hoynes said in a

statement posted on the district's website over the

weekend that the strategy to combat bullying includes

having elementary school students pledge to stand

up to bullies and report them to adults.


"Our anti-bullying programs have been in place before

the state mandated anti-bullying programs and policies

," the statement said.


Anti-bullying committees were set up in each school

building to identify the causes and deal with potential

victims, bystanders and adults, the statement said.


"Throughout the schools, the seriousness of bullying is

highlighted in class meetings, rules-reviews, parent

nights, motivational speakers, and in visible reminders

up and down the hallways," the statement said.

Myers said the district had seemed to take a hands-off

approach to bullying.


"They can have assemblies and all sorts of lessons that

they teach the kids, but probably the most important part

is what the teachers and administrators are doing when

they see this sort of thing happening," Myers said.


Two families are suing the suburban Cleveland district, claiming

their children were bullied to death and the school did nothing

to stop it. Hoynes said in the statement she had been advised

by the school attorney to remain silent on the lawsuits.

"But, I want to reassure the Mentor students, families, and staff

we will continue to address the mental health needs of our

students and anti-bullying initiatives in our schools," her statement said.

[My belief, teachers who fail to intervene when a child is being

vicitimized is just as guilty as the victimzer. There is no excuse.



Same goes for anybody else, fail to step in when someone is

being victimized? Your guilty of supporting a bully. You too need

to be charged with a felony. Aiding and abetting]

The Palestinians swiftly rejected an offer

Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to

renew a freeze on West Bank settlement construction in

exchange for recognizing Israel as a Jewish nation-state.


"If the Palestinian leadership will say unequivocally to its

people that it recognizes Israel as the homeland of the

Jewish people, I will be ready to convene my government

and request a further suspension," Netanyahu told parliament.

Netanyahu has been under heavy international pressure

to renew a just-expired slowdown on settlement construction.

The Palestinians have said they will walk away from

negotiations if the settlement curbs aren't extended.


Impasse
There was immediate speculation that the conditional offer

was unlikely to resolve the impasse over settlements,

which stalled peace talks just a month after they were

launched. Only moments after the proposal was revealed,

a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

said they had rejected it. Netanyahu's comments came

amid a spat over the Israeli government's approval of a

bill to require new citizens to pledge a loyalty oath to

a "Jewish and democratic" state.


In general, the Arab minority — making up one in five

Israelis — view the oath as a provocation aimed at further

making them second-class citizens in a country where

they already feel discriminated against. Netanyahu said

the bill, which must still be voted on by parliament,

reflected the essence of Israel at a time when many

are trying to blur the connection between the Jewish

people and their homeland.


"The state of Israel is the national state of the Jewish

people and is a democratic state in which all its

citizens — Jews and non-Jews — enjoy full equal

rights," he said. "Whoever wants to join us, has

to recognize us."

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.




[I believe it is time to remove the prime minister

of Israel out of office. Start off by voting in person

that has passion for serving country.

As in serving fellow citizens.


Netanyahu has been prime minister for how

long now? Too long. He hasn't lifted a finger to

serve Jewish people. It is apparent, he is

only interested in serving himself. By the

looks of things, he has never been service

oriented. If he was he would have accomplished

something by now.


Why make either side suffer when the simple

solution to the problem is replace what ills.


Palestinian prime minister can't negotiate with

someone who has no interest in negotiating.

I mean give the man a break,

least he's trying.


Israel prime minister can't expect Palestine to

just give in to his wishes, not after the minster

nearly toppled Palestine!


What you want to bet Palestine and new Israel

prime minister get along fairly well? Place a person

who has compassion into the mix, and it will result in;

a done deal. Negotiating for peace agreement be a cake walk.]

Nelson Mandela never wanted to become South African

president and would have preferred a younger person to

become the country's first black ruler, according to a new book.


Mandela says in the book "Conversations with Myself,"

due to be launched Tuesday, that he only accepted after

senior leaders of the African National Congress put

pressure on him.


"My installation as the first democratically elected

President of the Republic of South Africa was imposed

on me much against my own advice," Mandela said.

The book, compiled by the Nelson Mandela Foundation

from personal letters, interviews and an unpublished

sequel to his autobiography, contains a foreword by

U.S. President Barack Obama.


Mandela, 92, said he would have preferred to serve the

new South African state without holding any position in

the ANC or government. After being put on the carpet by

one of the ANC's leaders, he changed his mind, but made

clear that he would serve only one five-year term.

Mandela's release on February 11, 1990, after 27 years in

apartheid-era jails, set in motion the country's transformation

to democracy, which culminated in historic all-race elections

in 1994 and his inauguration as the country's first black leader.

Reconciliation between blacks and whites was the cornerstone
of Mandela's presidency, which ended in May 1999.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39615046/ns/today-books/


[More people like Mandela need to be in office. How about Dali Lama?
(or Chris Rock. We be laughing ourselves silly)
Seriously though, why don't we have more people like these two
in office, all around the world? Make a better team. Or shall I
say New World Order. World wide peace is what, NWO is.]

Citizens Could Use Some Backup Too.






Doctor Mary Ellen O'Toole's

Former FBI behavior Profiler/behavior analyst





[Question is "how many books has she written?"

Is she motivated by writing books, or because

behavioral research was her job?


I, myself, wrote BEHAVIROL MOTIFICATION MODEL (BMM)

a program designed to studying

adverse reactions in human behavior. You don't see

me writing a book about it. I won't either. The

program was written solely to research (and collect)

human behavior. Each person has a jacket.

I write programs and policies for educational

purposes only. My business is a non profit, entity.

I like to keep it that way.


I am not knocking her, just saying. She seems to me

to be a bit too motivated "for profit" Image seeking.

But then again she is a cop. Cops are obsessed with

their own personal image, not necessarily by

service to the community. I have conducted extensive

research on law enforcement personnel. Law

enforcement attracts a lot of narcissist. In fact

law enforcement is a magnet for narcissist, bullies, or

otherwise abusive in nature personalities.].


She should get involved with non profit sector.

As a Behavior Assessment Profiler. BAP

for short. Former cop conducting research on

law enforcement entity?

The community couldn't ask for a better educator.


How many educated women do we have in the

non profit sector? Not too many. Dr. O'Tooles

be a wonderful addition. The community needs

all the educators they can get.


I mean why don't she think about becoming involved with

human rights division, or civil rights, being that she is now retired?


There isn't one profiler in non profit sector that I can think of.

We citizens need some back up here! Service oriented eh? Genuine

service oriented people, don't have to be asked; to serve. We just do it.

Its what non profit is all about.]

Fusion Centers

Unifying Intelligence to Protect Americans

03/12/09


In Arizona, after determining the subjects of an international

terrorism case were involved in local criminal activity, the case

was referred to local law enforcement. In New Mexico, several

individuals linked to FBI investigations—including an

MS-13 gang member—were identified. In Tennessee,

e developed—with our partners—a formal process for

collecting, sharing, and analyzing suspicious activity

reports, looking for trends and patterns.


These cooperative efforts—and many more like them

—have been made possible through the work of

intelligence fusion centers around the country. These

centers, usually set up by states or major urban areas

and run by state or local authorities, are often supported

by federal law enforcement, including the FBI.


This week, nearly 2,000 local, state, tribal, and federal

representatives working in these centers gathered in

Kansas City to continue the process of standardizing

fusion center operations. The ultimate goal? To create

a network of centers presenting a unified front against

terrorism and other national security and criminal

threats that put Americans at risk.

School Shootings What You Should Know






An unrelated series of shootings at schools in recent weeks

has people wondering about the safety of their children and

how they can help prevent future attacks. We talked with

one of our behavioral analysts, Supervisory Special Agent

Mary Ellen O’Toole, Ph.D., to get some
insights.


First, be vigilant, especially now, when the events are

still generating headlines, says O’Toole, who works in

the Behavior Analysis Unit of our

Critical Incident Response Group at the FBI Academy

in Quantico, Virginia. “We do believe a copycat effect

takes place after these events.”


That means more than just being watchful and wary

of who’s out of place in a neighborhood or school.


“Be aware of people’s moods.

Don’t depend just on how they answer the question,

‘How are you doing?’”

[In my educated opinion,
Lets start off by classifying all forms of bullying
as a felony! Regardless of title or position.
(Title/position isn't ground for immunity)
Teachers bully too. And teachers that fail
to stop bullying are just as guilty as the bully.

If Congress passed a law that rendered all
types of bully behavior as a felony, not only
would this make kids safe in schools,
but also provide oversight for
teachers that lack little or no leadership skills.
(why are bullies allowed to terrorize?
is the question}

If there was a law that felonized bullying, there
wouldn't be shootings in schools.
Kids wouldn't be killing kids (nor would kids
be killing themselves) What is it going to take to
protect kids in school? What are politicians
waiting for? waiting for more kids to get killed?
We citizens have a duty to protect children.
I say, if politician isn't interested in protecting
children, then legislation needs be left to us]

Know Your Food


Eating Close to the Earth

The food we eat is a multidimensional aspect of our lives. Food provides us with the energy that enables us to grow and prosper. Yet it can be, and frequently is, much, much more. Our food can be an experience in and of itself if we allow it to be. The dishes we remember from childhood offer unmatched comfort. The act of preparing meals can be an art form of the highest caliber. And the nourishment we derive from this fare promotes wellness within us. But many of us, distracted by daily affairs, forget that the profound pleasures of eating go beyond simple sustenance. We eat foods that are convenient or we eat unconsciously, snacking on whatever happens to be on hand. To understand the true value of food and the impact it can have on our lives, we should acknowledge and honor it by eating close to the earth.

If you have ever shelled and eaten garden-grown peas or bitten into a sun-warmed apple freshly plucked from its tree, you likely understand that there is a marked difference between these foods and those that are processed and stacked on supermarket shelves. Food recently picked contains more of its original life force and thus has a greater store of energy and nutrients. You can ensure you are eating close to the earth—and enjoying the many benefits of doing so—by shopping at a local farmers market and getting to know the individuals who grow your food. If you make the experience of shopping in this way enjoyable, you will be more apt to reject more convenient canned, packaged, and frozen foods in favor of the real delight you feel while browsing stalls of fresh foods nourished by the same soil you can find in your own backyard. You will soon learn what foods are in season in your area and how to prepare them.


As you savor the vivid flavors of juicy ripe fruits and the hearty crunch of unprocessed vegetables, you can also take pleasure in the fact that, by eating close to the earth, you are supporting farmers in your region, connecting with your local ecosystem, discouraging those who would waste precious fossil fuels by carting produce cross-country, and helping to preserve healthy culinary traditions that have existed for centuries.DOM

Outreach Tool "What is a Conservative?"

I wrote this primarily for the woefully uninformed. I am told, that it has converted many. What we really need is outreach. Igniting the base is not enough. The feedback about my essay from open-minded liberals has been gratifying. The method of; non-attack, just the facts, and addressing the common objections -- seems to allow them to continue reading. It really is brand new information for them. And they often start thinking and challenging what they have been mis-taught. I keep several in my car to pass out. We need converts this tool often works! My hope is that it goes viral and reaches the masses. Please send this to everyone on your list.What Is A Conservative?by Roc Ratner April 2009Conservatism comes from the root word “conserve,” which means to save. Everyone wants to conserve something. Even Liberals/Progressives wants to conserve many things, like the power to micro-manage others and the power to prevent life as in “a woman’s right to choose.” So if everyone wants to conserve something, then the real question is: What do “Conservatives” specifically want to conserve? What really defines a “Conservative?” It may not be what you have been told. You hear the word “Conservatives” a lot. You might be interested to know what it means.Conservatives deeply respect the unique historical crafting of the newly formed American government. It is important to note that the Founding Fathers had lived under, fought against and defeated the immoral, abusive, and stifling of individuals by a government (King George). They despised governmental abuse of its individual citizens. That is why they set out to preserve individual freedoms. Never before or since have newly victorious revolutionaries spent so much time and effort studying and pondering all forms of historical government and political thought with such a unique and noble goal. The Founding Fathers unselfishly wanted to create a supremely positive environment in which every individual citizen in the population was allowed to thrive to their personal maximum potential.Sadly, it is true that in the 1700’s slavery was a fully accepted worldwide scourge. Unfortunately, at that time the southern colonies had tightly embraced the accepted world’s consensus regarding slavery. It is interesting to realize that the world’s consensus is often very wrong and very often destructive. America’s unique greatness and power typically comes from not following the world’s destructive consensus. However, in this sad early instance the southern colonies did indeed embrace it whole-heartily. They adamantly threatened to kill the whole Constitution if that Constitution would take away the South’s economic base. If not for that threat, there would have been no need for the eventual civil war.The southern colonies did not want slaves to vote, but they also wanted to count non-voting slaves in the population totals, in order to get many more southern whites into the House of Representatives (number of representatives based on population). It is shamefully true that a compromise on that number was necessary in the 1700’s. The distasteful compromise reached was that: each non-voting slave was to be counted as 3/5th — towards the seating of a Representative in the House of Representatives. The compromise was embarrassingly necessary to even have a constitution. Thankfully, within the original constitution, the ability was included to amend that grievous mistake.Not talked about today is the documented historic fact that: it was the Conservatives’ deep love of “freedom from government” and “power for the individual” that prompted Conservative Republicans to vote for Civil-Rights in a much higher percentage than the Liberal/Progressive Democrats, who bitterly opposed Civil-Rights. There is sill one ex-“Grand-Keligle” (supreme leader) of the KKK serving as a Senator at this time. Senator Bird is a Liberal/Progressive Democrat, of course.True Conservative principles do not see groups, races, genders or classes of people. They see only individuals. They do not see “one group” as a target for pandering, and “another group” as a target to demonize. Consider that it was a Republican (Lincoln) who said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”The smallest most vulnerable and weakest minority, by far, is the individual. Governments historically have always easily crushed an individual. Preventing that abuse was the core spirit of America’s creation.The Founding fathers strove to develop a unique balance, which would both create the “United” defense for the individual sovereign States, and the security of a basic common governmental structure — while still preventing government from getting in the way of the natural advancement of its citizen individuals. No such creative and deeply compassionate well thought-out search has ever been done in the forming of a government before or since.The Founding Fathers’ first unique and amazingly arduous undertaking was to read all the profound writings on political thought written throughout all of history. They discussed and debated the revealed issues at length. This was in a day without phones, telegraphs, recorders or efficient transportation. Many of these discussions/debates were in letters between each other. The huge number of these original letters were carefully collected and preserved at the time. The collection was published in book form as “The Federalist Papers.”A scholar by the name of Skousen made it his life’s work to follow each of the issue debates, across the complex web of these back and forth letters. He identified 28 main issues of principle, which were debated, eventually resolved, and generally accepted by the Founders. The Founder’s long hard work on these 28 principles was the foundation behind the creation of the Constitution. Skousen’s book is “The 5,000 Year Leap” with a separate chapter on each of the founding 28 principles. Each chapter includes the Founder’s back and forth discussions, debate, readings, thinking and creative inventions about the chapter’s specific principle.The Founding Fathers’ primary goal was to prevent power being excessively amassed by government officials. The world history they studied so completely proved that unlimited power would surely be used to micro-manage and exploit powerless individuals. The Founders’ research showed them that what they called “Rulers Law” proved to be the universal destructive path to an eventual abusive and population-crushing evil, on a national scale.The Founders knew that future generations of would be “Rulers” would not like being limited. In their preserved written correspondence with each other, a phrase the founders used was “putting the government in chains.” Those chains were to prevent the United States Government from ever following the historical use of “unlimited power of the Ruler.” The Constitution’s clear, plainspoken intent was to enforce these chains of “limited power” and make them timeless. So no one could ever become the unlimited “Ruler” of this nation.The Constitution clearly provides the Federal Government a very short list of allowed powers. And, just as clearly, the Constitution declares it illegal for the Federal Government to do anything else! You may hear this described as the “enumerated powers”The Founders used the 28 principles to guide the development of a clear and simple solution to the historic universal problem of governmental abuse — a system where the government (not the citizen) was strictly limited. They created a new and unique concept for humanity —“Freedom FROM Government.” The Founding Fathers invention, the Constitution, and the 28 principles that guided them brought forth an amazing advancement to humanity. The enabling miracle of “limited” government that unleashed the abilities of individuals to grow, build and achieve.The unique Constitution enabled the fastest advancement of a civilization in history — going from the primitive back woods, to super-power and even reaching the moon in only two centuries. No other civilization throughout all of history has advanced so far in such a short time. Compare such fast and enormous achievement to countries like India, China, Egypt, Iraq, etc., that are many thousands of years old. No other system of government has come even close to the explosion of widespread general lifestyle and wealth for the average citizen. Compare the abundant lifestyle of the lower 20% of the U.S. population to the crushing lifestyle of the lower 20% in India, Egypt, Iraq, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, etc.The Constitution, with its original clear and plainspoken meaning — IS the American Dream.Learning the Founding Fathers’ well-considered principles of advancing individualism would make any person, as well as any country, stronger and more fruitful. Yet for some odd reason these most precious historical nuggets of wisdom are not taught in schools today. If you, like the Founding Fathers, are interested in such proven sources of individual power, then you can find the historic details in the book “The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World” by Skousen. That profound book reveals the fascinating recorded thinking, reading, research, inspirations and discussions of the Founders as they crafted “the 28 Principles” and America’s Constitution. The Constitution that enabled the unique 200-year growth that Leapfrogged 5000 years of other political systems.Let me coin a word: “Group-ism,” which stands for the concept of single-minded power groups opposing each other. Group-ism is the exact opposite of individualism. Such groups come in many destructive forms—such as racism, sexism, class-ism, age-ism, religious-isms, etc. All such “Groups” have a common evil core of encouraging and spreading division and hate, and encouraging attacks on other groups.Such ugliness is evil (live spelled backwards). Nevertheless, it is indeed the best way to create a group-against-group division (the historic “divide and conquer” strategy). As the Founding Fathers’ research showed, every dictator in history got to power by pitting one group against another groupThe art and science of using group-ism to gain power has a long and evil history of refinement. Throughout history there have been many how-to books written, such as Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” and others by Hitler, Marx, and Mao. The modern book, “Rules for Radicals,” by Saul D. Alinsky is a modern, evil “how-to” book for manipulators and would-be dictators. In it, he explains in Machiavellian practical terms how to deceive, lie, manipulate and twist a group’s morals. Alinsky explains how successful group organizing and exploitation requires an divisive crisis to be created, and then used as an emotional smoke screen. The historic tactic consists of spreading indiscriminate hate to justify the immoral plundering of a whole group — by organizing another group and whipping it into a frenzy. Alinsky teaches how to do all this. The time-tested fact is this — the automatic unthinking anger and thoughtlessness of mass emotional fervor is the most necessary tool there is for the evil “power-grab” by any would-be dictator.There is a recognizable recipe, that all dictators have used, and would-be-dictators must use, to amass absolute and destructive power. In order for a crisis to grow to useful proportions, the mass “hate” needs to be encouraged through twisting of facts and outright deception. A charismatic and eloquent leader is required to focus and organize the unrest. Historically this power-seeking leader always turns out to be a control freak that is emotionally (but mistakenly) respected because of his followers’ lack of fact checking and their ignorance of his hidden goals. The next step is for an unrealistically idealistic and gullible media to carefully and redundantly “fan the fire” of manufactured dislike, which then grows into hate as the often repeated lie becomes thoughtlessly accepted. The Nazis called this strategy “the Big Lie.” This emotional “Big Lie” is a necessary for a population of otherwise kind people to blindly accept the manipulation and cruelly participate in the self-righteous and vicious destruction of any and all individuals, groups or institutions that get in the way of the would-be dictator’s power grab.The strategies of “personal destruction”, “attack journalism,” hate mongering, and social class warfare, which pit one generation, race, economic group or industry against another, might all seem very familiar. We have seen a lot of that lately. The practice of deceptively organizing groups into angry riled-up power-bases is the business of many current professional organizers. Who utilize anger to rationalize immoral and greedy, thug-like intimidation activities.Instead of focusing on individual-empowering solutions, many power-hungry, highly placed US government officials have been exploiting group-ism. It is shocking that several very high American politicians have recently echoed the Alinsky recommended sentiment of “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” It is strange and troubling that some in high government today have even paid very respectful homage to the book “Rules for Radicals.” One very high federal official even wrote her college thesis on its intricacies. These same high office-holders never mention the Constitution. To which they are sworn to “preserve and protect the Constitution,” as a condition of holding office. However, it seems the Constitutional limitations on their power—“get in their way.”Conservatives want to conserve what has compassionately nurtured the amazing historical advancement of individuals and therefore humanity. Technically we still do have the original Constitution that insists on the miracle of freedom FROM government,” designed to limit government But those that want the return of “Rulers Law,” have been piece-by-piece chipping away at the Constitution for decades. The intent of the Constitution is currently being ignored, misinterpreted, and its meanings twisted. So that it seems to enable group-ism and supports a micro-managing command and control. This is the exact opposite of the Founders’ intent.The core of what a Conservative wants to conserve is the original meaning and timeless, supreme authority of the Constitution and its limitations on government power.The Constitution, its original, clear and plainspoken meaning — IS America!Command-and-control, micro-managing politicians have a lot to gain from “Rulers Law.” The current system of all-powerful governmental officials arbitrarily selecting winners and losers requires that want-to-be winners must pay off the government officials in order to buy that favored status.The current unconstitutional system is “pay to be favored ” by the all-powerful “Rulers,” with unlimited arbitrary “selections” and “favors” to give out. This unlimited system is the root of enormous campaign funding and provides lavish perks for political “Rulers,” who do the arbitrary “selecting.” Even the poor “pay” for favored status. They “pay” with an organized, rigidly enforced, solid voting block. Do you feel intimidated to speak against the peer pressure?The goal is a voting block based on group-ism.Today’s common campaign promise (spoken or not) is, help me to get the power, and I will “favor” and select “your” group to be “given” advantages. All you have to do is give up your individual power.This current system makes government’s arbitrary, preferential, unlimited and unconstitutional “favors” for-sale. The required payments to “Rulers” for favoring a group takes many forms; money, lavish perks, organized voting blocks, back-room deals, or the providing of deceptive glowing publicity/news. In addition, for-sale is the government’s ability to target and damage whichever group the “influence buyer” hates the most. Sadly, the ability to damage is the only thing the government does very effectively.It has all been done before. Historically there are many unlimited “Rulers Law” systems for exploiting populations. Examples include the “Divine Right of Kings—the right to absolute unlimited power, enabling them to simply take anything or abuse anything or anyone they wanted. Government “owning” of companies — is the dictionary definition of communism. Fascism (National Socialism or Nazi-ism) is defined by the installing of government puppets to manage companies, insuring the government maintains absolute control. With such systems of control, the greedy government can take anything and everything it wants.All such political systems have eventually led to extreme poverty and great misery for the abused masses —masses that were originally misinformed and emotionally manipulated to be enthusiastic about the power take over. History is very clear. Even so, such political systems have been tried repeatedly throughout global history. The historic record of hundreds of examples is clear. Such systems have a 100% failure rate in continuing to uplift their people. As well as a 100% success rate in eventually devastating individuals and whole populations. The old saying is “those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.”The Founding Fathers saw, and true Conservatives still see, unlimited government’s micro-management of individuals, their business and labor, along with the system of government officials arbitrarily selecting winners & victims — as a sure path to inevitable devastating evil on a grand scale.In contrast, a Liberal/Progressive wants an unlimited, unchained Government to grow ever larger and more powerful. They want this, precisely so they can micro-manage the population, including you. The Liberal/Progressive sees freedom of individuals as disorganized, messy and objectionable. The goal is lock-step conformity. They deeply crave to micro-manage you in order to stop everything you do, that they personally judge as objectionable. A Liberal/Progressive makes a career out of objecting to other people’s usage of freedom. A Liberal/Progressive wants the power to back up their micro-management with severe punishments in the law. After All “they” know better than you. You have to be forced to comply. They believe their power will enforce a “perfect world.” “All hail” the perfecting works of the dictators of Utopia! (?)Is the noble and population-uplifting concept of “freedom of the individual FROM government” worth conserving? Conservatives continue to think so. Liberals /Progressives do not! This is the simple, clear and profound defining DIFFERENCE between the Conservative and the Liberal/Progressive ideologies.Liberals/Progressives will always need to buy votes with giveaways, etc. But government does not make or create anything, so they have to take money and things away from others, exploit someone in order to give unconstitutional “favors” to someone else.Slavery is characterized by forcing someone to work against his or her will —simply taking his or her work (labor) by force. Money is the fruit of people’s work (labor), thoughts, talent, creativity and invention. Continuously taking money from someone by force is taking his or her labor by force. In other words, “slavery.”Is not “wealth-redistribution” stealing from one enslaved group to pay off another more highly “favored” group? A recipient group actually purchases being favored. Of course, what little the government “gives away” is always minus what the government greedily and deeply skims off the top for itself.Misinformation, ignorance and repeated lies are the keys to how all this evil takes root and grows. For example, every student in school and TV or movie viewer is taught repeatedly that, by definition, all businesses are evil “greedy” meanies and governments are “compassionate.” You hear it all the time, so it is just accepted as fact.Nevertheless, logic exposes the truth. What happens to a truly greedy business, say a store that tries to sell a gallon of milk for $10? They lose customers fast. Customers have the freedom to buy elsewhere. So, they do. A business desperately needs willing customers or it goes out of business. Successful businesses are always thinking of new ways to please and earn more customers that are willing. Truly greedy businesses that do not care about their customers are automatically eliminated. Bankruptcy releases resources and employees to move to other, more compassionate growing businesses. That is, unless a government selects a bad one to bail out.But what happens when a powerful government gets greedy? First understand that the government doesn’t need your willingness. When you don’t want to pay the government’s arbitrary high demands, they just use brutal power to take what they want! They just take against your will. You do not have the freedom or power to run away from greedy government officials, the IRS, the police, courts or prison. Like all slaveholders, their power is ultimately backed up with guns. The willingness of free customers is replaced, with forceful intimidation.When a Government does not need your willingness, it sees you as merely a helpless resource to be plundered. Or they see you as a useless (to them) expendable, expense. Does a governmental middle manger or accountant in control of your fate, really care about you personally? Is this what you call “compassion? !” They tell you it is!People do try to leave a greedy, abusive country run by “Rulers Law,” but that means a huge change in culture, life style, and language, etc. Historically, greedy Governments get tough when the source of all their money (the enslaved victim taxpayers) try to escape. Think about the borders of Cuba, North Korea and the Berlin wall. Greedy governments are historic killers of individuals and whole economies.The wide spread propaganda of “Greedy Business” and “Compassionate Government” is a very false and a very dangerous trap! Conservatives seem to be the only ones fully aware of this obvious historic fact.How many in the government-schooled population know that the top 25% of earners (as a group) pays over 86% of all collected tax money? Is that a “fair share?” Are the masses taught or aware that 43% of the population (another group) receives vastly more from government programs as handouts, than the group pays in taxes? Politicians, schools, the news media, TV and Hollywood movies have all baited the very dangerous false propaganda trap of “greedy business/compassionate government,” and carefully hidden the simple, easily provable truths.Why all the deception and deceit? The leading Liberal/Progressive, would-be “Rulers” want the large tax-receiving group to be worked up into an angry hate of the smaller rich group that pays all the bills and paychecks. Why? So the government will become justified and empowered to punish and enslave employers. Only then can the “compassionate” (?) government seize for itself control of businesses and all sources of money. Those in that small hated so-called “rich” employer group are intended to be the enslaved victims. The method is for this small, targeted group is to be vastly out numbered by the angered mob. Deception, deceit, wide spread misinformation and hidden truths are necessary to build and encourage the angry, hate-filled mob into a solid voting blockWhat happens when that hate-filled mob of 43% of the “favored” dependants grows to a dictatorial 51%? One does not need to guess. Historically they feel empowered to punish and take everything away from the enslaved so-called “rich” employers. It has happened several times before in history. The mob greedily goes for the freebees! There is a great celebration of joyful, greedy, plundering, legalized looting and destruction. In the collapsed Soviet Union the need to crush the resistant, independent-minded meant killing 20 million of its most productive people, fourteen million more than the National Socialism of Nazi Fascism! That is a lot of “free goodies” for the taking. It sounds great to the masses of government dependants. However, the Rulers get most of the spoilsHowever in each historical case, the government always eventually needs more and more money. But a government creates nothing. Government can only take from the ever-more-deeply impoverished slaves that dwindle in number. The slaves eventually either runaway, become broke, die-off or are murdered. The fabled equality of utopia historically always crumbles when “Other People’s Money” runs out.The Government, which never did create any actual merchandise it self, becomes bankrupt. The government’s micro-managed house of cards then crumbles when the slave money runs out. The poor, helpless, government-dependant population suddenly does not receive anything at all from the “now bankrupt” government.Historically, those dependant on government are devastated to the point where survival is a serious concern. These extreme desperate conditions make for extreme anger & violence in the population, which draws massive, brutal and violent governmental retaliation and repression. The desperate, greedy, all-powerful government then fights its own population with every cruel, destructive, murderous weapon they have. The Soviet Union did murder most of the successful employers and farmers who did not escape—and then turned on the poor. The economy and population was devastated for generations.Who among the employing and hated 25% who are here now, would choose to stay in our country to become slaves? Who would then provide us the food or productive business that feeds the entire economy? Who would provide jobs that enable employee purchasing power? What is left for anyone after the rich employers and food producers are made to be poor and put out of business? After the employing goose (who lays the golden egg of 86% of all tax revenues) is foolishly crushed, who will then fund the care of the vast number of government dependants?The greedy all-powerful government of a country when devoid of employers and jobs has only the under-employed, starving poor left to plunder. After all, the “Rulers” lifestyle must be maintained at all costs. How do all the abandoned dependants survive the chaos and violence?The Soviet Union did crumble into the dustbin of history. The Soviet Union was not the first or the last. The tragic, historic list is long. “Those unaware of history ARE doomed to repeat it! How then does the U.S.A. even survive?Do you really just accept the widespread “big lie” that a micro-managing “Rulers”-style Government, which does not even need your willingness, will always be reliably compassionate and always take care of you? Do you want to put all your eggs (and your life) into that basket?The truth is the government “playing Santa Claus,” is really a burglar in disguise. Or more accurately a disguised, greedy, bumbling fool playing with matches, with a long history of carelessly burning down other people’s houses.Do you really want to live in the helpless squalor of the crumbled Soviet Union or Haiti? Do you want to work for an incompetent, clueless, all-powerful and destructive National Socialist Government “Czar?” How would you like living under the power of Cuba, Haiti or North Korea? Or how about living under the absolute power of the violently enforced group-ism of the Taliban? Do you relish being forced to join and slavishly obey an abusive, greedy, punishing, government-approved central plan? Is micro-managed utopia really, the system of you had hoped for?Unfortunately, it is very easy to deceive a government-schooled, media-misinformed population. A professional, “Emotion & Thought Manipulator” simply preaches the glory of group-ism and indignant jealousy. Such a professional can then guide people to misinterpret and disrespect a Conservative’s anti-group-ism and his or her lack of willingness to immorally injure/enslave one individual or group in order to benefit another more “favored” individual or group.Conservatives are not so bad once you understand us. Perhaps you did not know our point of view. Truth is drowned out, blocked or intentionally misrepresented by the news media, movies, TV, schools unions etc. The government has even been seriously talking about wanting to take over control of talk radio programming and internet content. Conservatives are indeed the group selected for no-holds bared, vicious attacks by the “Rulers” and all their minions. “Politically Correct,” close-minded Liberals/ Progressives are intent on drowning out truth and logic with automatic, instant insults and intimidation. They are passionate about Free conservative speech being stamped out and silenced.The PC “Speech Police” and “Thought Police” are everywhere. Ever wonder why? It is all to protect the “Big Lie” of “Greedy Business / Compassionate Government.” Rulers desperately need to make the “history-unaware population” believe that unlimited government is a compassionate Santa Claus with a bottomless sack. They need you to be helplessly dependent on their “favors” and “gifts.” That way they own you, and can micro-manage every part of your life. All this power and wealth would be lost to those that lust for “Rulers Law” if the truth about Conservatives were to be widely known.Sadly, some “so-called Republicans” have greedily accepted the evil concept of personally benefiting by isolating and pandering to opposing groups. These non-conservatives have embraced the selfish short-term political advantages of “group-ism.” True Conservatives call these despised sell-outs “RINOs (Republican In Name Only).Do not let the existence of RINOs confuse you about what a True Conservative wants to conserve—the liberty of ALL individuals by protecting the entire population from a government that is power-hungry, micro managing, abusive, and has destructive goals. Conservatives strive to restore the Constitution and once again set the individual free from government.Such historically evil goals, methods and results are very predictable. But there is a small light at the end of the tunnel. Conservatives and the smallest most vulnerable, abused minority of “the individual,” can prevail once again as the truth slowly leaks out. There is Hope (!), thanks to the many uncensored methods of non-government-controlled, propaganda-free communication. And thanks to the declining credibility of liberal/progressive “Emotion & Thought Manipulators,” such as media, news and schools. There are now many new books that dare to spread historic political reality. These books are on bestseller lists. And, there is, of course, the Internet and talk radio. Individuals are talking about all this with each other on the Internet, and getting together. The information monopoly of the media is crumbling even as we speak.There are great and positive signs of the times, a fledgling mass reemergence of the love for freedom and liberty by brave individuals. Look at the Amazon.com top-selling book rankings. The original 1700’s era text from the pre-revolution pamphlet “Common Sense” written by Founding Father, Thomas Paine is now in a current book titled “Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine.” Amazingly, two centuries later his original work, as of the date of this writing, April 3, 2009, ranks 24th on Amazon’s best selling book list. “Common Sense” was the unifying journalistic spark that got the mass of individuals in the colonies ignited to reject the English king’s all-powerful abuse. Could Paine’s historic pamphlet “Common Sense” open minds and stir a population’s imagination again? Will the whispered words of freedom from-government, liberty and independence be secretively spread from person to person once again?As of this writing, April 3, 2009, included in Amazon’s top-10-best-seller-rankings are the books “Liberty and Tyranny” (about the history of governmental abuse contrasted with Liberty) and the previously mentioned book, “The 5000 Year Leap.” Also ranked at number 17 is “Atlas Shrugged,” by Ayn Rand, originally written in 1957. It is a very inspiring novel about a brave, rugged individualist fighting through government caused roadblocks and tribulations. Ayn Rand was inspired by real, destructive government abuses at that time.Also at this time, still in the top 100 rankings is the older “Men in Black” that documents the actual history of the very un-constitutional abusive power grabs by the Supreme Court itself.Apparently a great many people are starting to become interested in rediscovering U.S. history’s wonderfully unique and enabling founding principles that created the miraculously successful, Constitutional-based, Land of the Free (FROM government) and Home of the Brave, (self-reliant) Individuals.Should we just change the words of the national anthem the “Star Spangled Banner?” To the Rulers version; “the land of the Micro-Managed and the home of the Dependent” ??!!Liberals/Progressives have been continuously eliminating the use of the founding principles of the Constitution, bit by bit over the last six decades. The “5000 year leap” miracle is grinding to a halt under the onslaught of government micro-management. Lately the Liberals/Progressives have mounted an all out war against their hated, core Constitutional limitations on invasive governmental power.Yes, there is a profound difference between Conservatives and Liberals/Progressives. The defining question of our time is… Are you, Pro-Constitution (the original meaning, as intended) or are you Pro Rulers-Law (Anti-Constitution)? There is no middle ground. Pick your side. Liberty or Tyranny?Postscript:It is now up to you the individual, to spread the truth. Don’t wait for the media, schools, news, movies, Democrats or RINOs. They refuse to spread these uplifting truths.If you respect Constitutional freedom from government, for the individual, then pass this on to as many people as you can. You must be the modern Paul Revere. It is the least you can do. Many before you died to “preserve and protect” Constitutional freedom. Be brave and be heard, on a large viral level, by both Conservatives and more importantly the deceived Liberals/Progressives. Don’t let the peer pressure and the prejudices of “Politically-Correct (?)” silence you. Don’t just sit by and allow the “Miracle of the 5,000 year leap,” that is America, to crumble into the dustbin of history!An election is coming. The fate of the country and its whole population is in your individual hands. Make the Founders proud. You can do it!The world and its future are dependant on YOU spreading the hidden truthIf you want a Word .Doc file of this to print/distribute just email me I will reply with this file.© Roc Ratner, April 3, 2009 email: rratner1@earthlink.netPermission is hereby granted to individuals to reproduce and distribute.

our elected representitives

I think our elected representitives should live in govt. housing or projects close enough to the capital so they can bus to work or drive their own car that they pay the gas and insurance for. No more limos, no more jet planes unless they pay for it out of their own pocket.They should all have the same small amount of money to campaign with, contributions from big business and special interest groups breed corruption. they should not be allowed to give themselves raises in pay. And they should have to abide by the same laws and have the same health care they force on the American citizen. Their job is to uphold the constitution and guard our freedoms and they have no business in the private sector.

With many Americans seized by anxiety about the
country’s economic decline, candidates from both

political parties have suddenly found a new villain to

run against:China.


From the marquee battle between Senator Barbara Boxer

and Carly Fiorina in California to the House contests in

rural New York, Democrats and Republicans are blaming

one another for allowing the export of jobs to its

economic rival.


In the past week or so, at least 29 candidates have unveiled

advertisements suggesting that their opponents have been

too sympathetic to China and, as a result, Americans

have suffered.

“China is a really easy scapegoat,” said Erika Franklin

Fowler, a political science professor at Wesleyan

University who is director of the Wesleyan Media

Project, which tracks political advertising.


Polls show that not only are Americans increasingly

worried that the United States will have a lesser role

in the years ahead; they are more and more convinced

that China will dominate. In a Pew poll conducted in

April, 41 percent of Americans said China was the

world’s leading economic power, slightly more than

those who named the United States.


The attacks are occurring as trade tensions continue

and the United States is pressuring the Chinese

government to allow its currency to rise in value, a

central topic under discussion at the International

Monetary Fund meeting in Washington this weekend.


The ads are so vivid and pervasive that some worry they

will increase hostility toward the Chinese and complicate

the already fraught relationship between the two countries.


Robert A. Kapp, a former president of the US-China

Business Council, said that even though tensions had

flared in the past, he had never seen China used as

such an obvious punching bag for American politicians.


“To bring one country into the crosshairs in so many

districts, at such a late stage of the campaign, represents

something new and a calculated gamble,” he said. “I find

it deplorable. I find it demeaning.”



Not all of the ads are solely about China; a few mention

India or Mexico. A recent ad from Mrs. Boxer accuses

Ms. Fiorina, a former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard

of outsourcing thousands of jobs to Shanghai instead of

San Jose, Bangalore instead of Burbank,” and of “proudly

stamping her products ‘Made in China.’ ”


It is no accident that Democrats, in particular, have been

eying China as a line of attack. This spring, national

Democrats, including the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi

, began to encourage candidates to highlight the issue

after reviewing internal polling that suggested voters

strongly favored eliminating tax breaks for companies

that do business in China. The party first began emphasizing

the issue in a special election for a Pennsylvania House

seat in May, said Representative Chris Van Hollen of

Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional

Campaign Committee.


Never mind that there is hardly any consensus as to what

exactly constitutes outsourcing and how many of the new

overseas jobs would have stayed in American hands. The

Democrats cite studies this year from the Economic Policy

Institute a liberal research organization, that assert three

million jobs have been outsourced to China since 2001

because of the growing trade imbalance.


But Republicans, backed by some academics,

say the number is much smaller. Indeed, Scott Kennedy,

director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics

and Business at Indiana University, said that most

of the jobs China had added in manufacturing through

foreign investment had come from Taiwan, Hong Kong

and South Korea,not from the United States. Still, some

Republicans clearly see the issue as potent,

and they are counter attacking with ads stating

that the Obama administration’s stimulus package

helped to create $2 billion in wind turbine technology

jobs in China, a claim the Treasury Department and

the American Wind Energy Association say is dubious.


Representative John A. Boehner, the House minority

leader, in a speech Friday in Ohio, blamed President

Obama and Ms. Pelosi for a “stimulus that shipped

jobs overseas to China instead of creating jobs

here at home.”


Evan B. Tracey, president of the Campaign Media

Analysis Group, which tracks political advertising,

said that “China has sort of become a straw-man

villain in this election” in a way that elicits

comparisons to the sentiments toward Japan in the

1980s over car manufacturing and Mexico in the

1990s over the North American Free Trade Agreement.


While China’s growth has slowed a bit recently, its


economy is still projected to surge by about 10

percent this year, continuing a remarkable three-

decade streak of double-digit expansion.

“In a lot of ways it’s a code word: ‘Let’s be mad at

China because then the voters will connect the dots

and say our manufacturing plants have been shut

down because of China, and all the unfair labor

practices, and throw on the fact that we’re basically

selling all our debt to China,’//” Mr. Tracey said.


Even as the ads play up Americans’ unease with the

threat posed by modern China, they often employ

outdated and almost cliché depictions.


In a new spot for Representative Joe Sestak, who is

running for the Senate in Pennsylvania, a gong clangs

as a narrator says of his Republican rival, Pat Toomey:

“He’s fighting for jobs — in China.”



An ad for Ryan Frazier, a Republican running for Congress

in western Colorado, shows Forbidden City-style doors

opening to reveal China on a world map, as the voiceover

criticizes the Democratic incumbent Ed Perlmutter, for

supporting cap and-trade legislation, which some

Coloradans believe will drive more manufacturing jobs

overseas.


Consultants from both parties are monitoring polling and

voter reaction to gauge the effectiveness of the ads and

to determine how long to continue showing them. Based

on the back-and- forth between candidates on the

campaign trail, the issue does not appear to be going

away anytime soon.


At a Senate debate in Connecticut on Monday night between

the Democrat Richard Blumenthal and the Republican Linda

E. McMahon, Mr. Blumenthal repeatedly tried to raise concerns

about the business practices of World Wrestling Entertainment

, the company in which Ms. McMahon served as chief executive.


A tense moment occurred when Mr. Blumenthal asked: Why

does Ms. McMahon’s company manufacture its popular action

figure toys in China, rather than here at home? She said it was

not her decision, but that of the toy company, and moved on.

The United States willback up small Asian nations

who feel bullied by China and will insist on diplomatic solutions to territorial

disputes among China and Pacific neighbors, U.S. officials said.


U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is in Vietnam to reassure jittery

Southeast Asian nations that the United States won't cede its longtime

role as the pre-eminent military power in the Pacific as Chinese naval

ambitions expand.


The United States is concerned that newly heated disputes over Pacific

island chains little known to most Americans could hurt access to one

of the world's busiest commercial sea lanes. Smaller nations complain

that China may try to seize the areas outright or assume de facto control

with naval patrols.


Gates was seeing a Chinese general Monday, and both were attending

an Asian security ministers' meeting Tuesday. Gates will meet separately

with delegates from some of the small nations that want U.S. support to

counter the growth of China as a regional power.


Pentagon officials traveling with Gates said he will make the same

argument about U.S. interests in the Pacific and the limits of Chinese

dominion that has infuriated China before.


The officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of sensitive discussions

among Southeast Asian defense chiefs.


President Barack Obama and Southeast Asian leaders recently reiterated

support for a peaceful resolution of the disputes, which some fear could set

off Asia's next conflict.

The United States is trying to persuade China that it would be better off

with smoother, more regular contacts between the two militaries. Their

relationship has been fitful and mostly superficial for years, in contrast

to closer economic and political cooperation.


China broke off military ties altogether early this year in protest of proposed

U.S. arms sales to China's rival Taiwan worth more than $6 billion. China

disinvited Gates for an expected visit to China, and a Chinese general

confronted him about Taiwan during another security meeting in June.


The chill has begun to thaw. China has agreed to restart some lower-level

military discussions this month, and senior Chinese leaders have indicated

they want broader engagement.


"This is something we believe we both need. It is to both our benefits to have

this kind of ongoing dialogue," Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told

reporters traveling with Gates.


Peaceful international resolution of the island disputes is a major theme of

the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations security ministers'

gathering here.


Beijing was furious after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

told another ASEAN forum in July that the peaceful resolution of disputes

over the island groups was in the American national interest.

Beijing said Washington was interfering in an Asian regional issue.


The disputed territories include the Spratlys, claimed in whole or in part by

Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Vietnam — plus China and Taiwan.

Also contested are Scarborough Shoal, claimed by the Philippines and

China, and the Paracel Islands, disputed by China and Vietnam.


Although largely uninhabited, the areas are believed to sit atop vast

reserves of oil and natural gas. They straddle busy sea lanes and are

rich fishing grounds.


The conflicting claims have occasionally erupted into armed confrontation.

Chinese forces seized the western Paracel Islands from Vietnam in 1974

and sank three Vietnamese naval vessels in a 1988 sea battle.

China's claim of control over of ocean far from off its coastline is also a

point of friction with the U.S. naval ships have played high-stakes chicken

with Chinese boats in waters the U.S. considers international.

Negative stress (or distress) is the result of a
bullying climate where threat,coercion and
fear substitute for non-existent management
skills.

Employees have to worktwice as hard
to achieve half as much to compensate for the
dysfunctional and inefficientmanagement.
Negative stress diminishes quality of life and
causes injury to healthresulting in the
symptoms of ill-health described on this page
. When people use the word"stress" on its
own, they usually mean "negative stress".

The estimates stress-related
illness cost taxpayers billions each year
The Department of Health state that 3.6%
of national average salary budgetis paid
to employees off sick with stress. Stress
is now officially the Number One causeof
sickness absence although 20% of employers
still do not regard stress as a health and
safety issue.

Traumatizing effect of bullying results in the
target being unable to state clearlywhat is
happening to them and who is responsible;
the target may be so traumatized thatthey
are unable to articulate their experience for
a year or more after the event.

Thisoften frustrates or prevents legal
action: see12-week tribunal application limit
and psychological reactivity of PTSD.


Another frustration is incorrect diagnosis

by a medical or mental health professional

who doesn't understand Complex PTSD

or who is antagonistic towards the concept

of psychiatric injury.


If you're under one of these characters,

ditch them immediately as they will

sabotage both your legal case

and your efforts to recover.


False diagnoses

commonly given include bipolar,

schizophrenia, paranoia, work phobia,

social phobia, borderline personality

disorder (as a cause rather than a symptom)

etc.


Bullying results in strong feelings of fear,

shame, embarrassment, and guilt, which

are encouraged by the bully to keep their

target quiet.


This is how all abusers

(including child sex abusers) silence

their targets.


For detailed reasons why targets of

abuse don't or can't report

abuse, click here.


Work colleagues often withdraw their

[I blew the lid off of police being trained mercenary
tactics back in 2000. And ever since I have been
a target of harassment.

Under color of law; depriving citizen of his/her civil
rights is a federal violation. Think FBI give a shit?
FBI Don't. FBi is incompetent

It’s An Age-Old Crime: Stealing.

ipr.jpg

It’s an age-old crime: stealing.

But it’s not about picking a pocket or holding up a bank.

It's robbing people of their ideas, inventions, and creative

expressions—what’s called intellectual property—everything

from trade secrets and proprietary products and parts to

movies and music and software.


It’s a growing threat—especially with the rise of digital

technologies and Internet file sharing networks. And much

of the theft takes place overseas, where laws are often lax

and enforcement more difficult. All told, intellectual property

theft costs U.S. businesses billions of dollars a year and

robs the nation of jobs and lost tax revenues.


Preventing intellectual property theft is a top priority of the

FBI’s cyber program. We specifically focus on the theft

of trade secrets and infringements on products that can

impact consumers' health and safety, such as counterfeit

aircraft, car, and electronic parts. Key to our success is

linking the considerable resources and efforts of the private

sector with law enforcement partners on local, state, federal

, and international levels.

[I've been writing Centralist Business Initiatives for well

over 10years. Just about everything I have written has

been stolen. Including my dream log. So FBi protects

citizens intellectual property rights? Since when?

Since never. What has been done is I've been accused

of stealing my own work. As in whoever is stealing my

intellectual property must be a government official.

Who else be getting away with theft of this nature?

I am not this governments bitch, slave, or dog.

And I sure in the hell am not mans property.

Who I suspect been stealing CBI? Man.]

Woe;The Dawn Of a New Nation

WOE;THE DAWN OF A NEW NATION
BY Ronald Gores

TO GOD ONLY.
The attitude of hypocrites is it alive today? Who do we wish to hear our
prayers when we pray? If we pray for men to hear the words that we say, our only reward will be
is that men have heard us pray. I pray that we repent from this in our churches today, for the
ears of God are the only ones that need to hear us pray.
FREE TO KNOW.
Knowledge, when unhindered, flows freely. The reins of hindrance lead to
ignorance. Unlatch hindrance for freedom's swift reins, and by the hand of liberty knowledge
spreads in abundance.
AMERICAN PRIDE.
American, American How great it feels to be
American, American We’ll fight till victory
SILENCE IN THE CROWD.
The room fills with conversation, the multitude mingles, Voices from
every angle echo in my ears, as though they were walls closing in, the voices blend until they
become one voice garbled and confusing; so I block out the noise and confusion from my mind, it
is then I can find that precious Silence In The Crowd.
FOOLING MYSELF.
It looks so easy to get a grip on, but that is an illusion to hide its potent,
invisible power. its wintry camouflage with a yellowish tint. How can it ruin me? Look at it, its
nothing. Control me, how can it control me? So all of my wondering led me to taste it, that bitter flavor craved by many, and I wondered why. I pulverized the crystalline shape and breathed its particles; It tingles and I feel it, it feels good I get numb ;I feel the surge, the sensation, its a rush, like standing up too fast, but then as soon as I love it, its gone. Self-respect takes a back seat to a rock. Is this the one that hooked me? was I wrong? I did another just to see, only to find that that to was part of its seductive trap; the answer was Yes! I'm such a fooling eve and gullible.
THE END.
They flee into the mountains, but their refuge is spoiled. The blast and falling rock
seal their fate in their own place; the caves in which they thought secure, crumbles down.
Munitions stored in hopes of a future use are useless, and out of the chaos two coalitions form
the final war.
FOR ALL TO SEE.
My country has to be the police over seas For all to see. Your planes dash
thru the sky fighting fast low and high to bring peace by and by For all to see. they fight to keep us free many died for liberty For all to see. So remember them that died pray for those which survived and for peace to be revived For all to see. Soon the whole world will be a place where all are free For all to see. I know that wars shall end and peace it will ascend when our Lord shall descend For all to see. He shall dry all our tears and remove all our fears break the bow and spear For all to see.
A LIFE TIME.we're here and then we're gone
we don't stay here too long
we're here and then we're gone
seventy years isn't that long
Because
Seventy years to eternity
is just a drop of water to the sea
be sure you be all you can be
Because
we're here and then we're gone
we don't stay here too long
we're here and then we're gone
seventy years isn't that long.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
We will never forget,neither shall we give in,
For it was a malicious crime and an ungodly sin;
those terrorist attacks which killed our countrymen.
We will never forget our towers that stood high in the sky.
We will never forget the thousands in the towers that died.
We will never forget the men in their attempts to try,
Those valiant men of flight ninety three in their efforts died.
We will never forget their voices so grim and full of gloom.
We will never forget the terrorist that brought them to their doom.
We will never forget our nation shattered in disbelief.
We will never forget those who gave comfort and relief.
We will never forget the place we now call Ground-zero.
We will never forget the rescuers for they are our heroes.
From the people saving people amongst the chaos and turmoil,
to the one who planned the attacks for a prey,and a spoil-We will never forget!
STAGNATED MIND.
Where is our minds today ?,they're're no different
than the minds of ancient men,even they had hate and war.The same as today
with no dramatic change notable,given the time which has elapsed
from the beginning til now,between knowledge known and knowledge
used;our technology,which many take pride in decays,such as the
viruses which infiltrates our systems;rotting from the inside like the flesh of a dead animal.
When will we change?,when man and machine at war become mangled
by battle into a graveyard of flesh and steel?
Or will we use our knowledge to its fullest? Stretching to the limit the
elastic realm of reality.Hindrances that is what you are,Like an infectious
cancer with its malignant cells inflaming our society with ignorance.
That Awful Day.
A man from the middle east
shall be the one to break the peace.
with one religion against the other
he will make you war against your brother.
he will shake the Earth's very foundations,
and spread his war across the nations.
He is with the eighth who is part of the Seven
the one who lost the war in Heaven
and he will rage his war upon the earth.
God pity those who have to give birth
to a child in such harsh conditions
until God rids the earth of the son of perdition
Thru Christ who rules with an iron rod
and under his foot Satan will be trod.
After death, and resurrection the judgment is at hand
Before the almighty God we all must stand.
Desire.
To touch her body
to feel her warmth
to know her thoughts
to crave her love
To show my interest is what I must do
to gain her trust
to show I care
to give her loyalty
to give her me
All of this is what I must do
to be always confident
to be always secure
to be able to talk
to be able to listen
To be myself is what I must do
Control.I get angry and I say things that I don't mean,
And often times the words I say are obscene.
most times I hold my composure with out a scene
by holding my tongue and keeping my mouth clean.
Oh! the tongue,as small as it may be
has started many good and bad things thru-out out history.
Its like a ship,a mighty sailing ship with its little rudder
it changes your course with every word you utter,
but on them mighty sailing ships you'll find there is a captain
who turns the wheel that moves the rudder and keeps his course
maintained
And like the ship and its captain the tongue has the brain
higher than it is the Lord,and God is at the top of the chain.
The Still Small Voice.
In the silence of my mind there is a calm and
lingering presence, unnoticed for the most part
lost or muffled by our noisy unsettled lives
And only when we are quiet and settled can we hear
The still small voice
IT HAPPENS TO US ALL.
Many times I've thought What if ?,
or I wonder how it would be if ?,I wish. All these
things swirling in my brain my head is like the seas,many oceans
in one some calm and quiet others wild and raging thoughts of this,and
thoughts of thatlike theanalogy both calm and raging.
BEWILDERED.
Wars and rumors of war the threshold nearing to cross
time and space equals money are problems to-wards this
end, And when I see the moon I wonder why on earth are we here?
CLICK IT.
My fingers glide across the universe of knowledge
A click,and a spark, I find what I am searching for
The light,It enters my eyes ,with its shape words are formed
THE RIGHT WORD.
I search rampantly,I cannot find it,I
know its here and yet I know not where,so close but still
so far away, I stretch farther and farther looking
where I have not looked before,hoping to find
exactlywhat I am looking for.
THE ENEMY.
As I face my enemy head to head I can only
wonder if he sees things as I do,only to realize
that he does,The enemy.
THORNS.
The north hides the Arabian knight;that chief
prince and his bands shall gather together,Gog
and Magog to battle against you O Israel.
Like snakes seeking a prey,they slither about you.
They strike with their deadly poisonous venom.
They build their pits amongst your children,
hiding and waiting like the stalking serpents they
are, For they follow the path of that old serpent
the fallen one ,the father of hate,greed,and deceit.
UNWORTHY.
I am not worthy of love I am nothing but a vile and ugly man.
but, it was me who brought that unworthiness upon myself thru the
actions of my hands.
and yet in my just sorrow for my sin, the Lord God almighty
gracefully forgives.
for my just punishment will be on the earth, and at God's will;I
deserve what he gives.
but I pray dear Lord, though I be unworthy and vile that you will
have mercy on me.
change me dear Lord,my mind,my body,my actions and recreate me Lord
the way you want me to be.
Oh! God I fear my loneliness will consume me and I have no son to
carry on my name.
I pray dear Lord that my fears will diminish
for they themselves are partly to blame.
But fear is not the blame for all of my life's loses,for I am a
vile and ugly man.
and the greatest shame of my life was brought thru the actions of
my hands.
I beg for your forgiveness dear God and plead for your blessings on
my mind,body,and soul
and render unto me,if it be your will,the virtue I need and that is
self control.
JUST A THOUGHT.
My thoughts run a hundred miles an hour expanding and blooming like
a flower.
because I learn, and I learn because knowledge is power.
power under control is the power that I seek
the power that rules the earth and it is meek
lets not confuse ourselves its certainly not weak
Jesus said that they shall inherit the earth
God thought of this before the foundation of the earth
even then our souls in mind he created our re-birth
in that our souls,from the beginning, with blood were bought
for this reason a war in heaven was fought and Satan has sought to
destroy
that thought.
LONELY MAN.another Paige in my life has turned
and another bridge has been burned
ever since you left me I have learned
when you play with fire you'll get burned
my heart is chaffed with loves fiery flame
but I have no one but me to blame
it was I who exposed my heart to that flame
I don't condemn all women for the acts of one dame
so I search and search but to what ad ue??
Oh! what I wonder can a lonely man do?
my loneliness burns me thru and thru
Oh! where is there a love that is true?
TRANSITION.Just before the final war
up in the skies we shall soar
in a craft which was made
to prep us all for the space age
but all must fly from place to place
before we venture into outer space
this is a step that needs to be
then we all can sail the ethereal sea
If you read your bible you'll know
that this is the way we need to go
in Genesis is where it is at
if you decipher the earthly fact
word to the wise,here is a clue
read earth written in Hebrew.
MEMORIALIZE FREEDOM.
Because we have pride in our buildings being so high
lets rebuild our tall and mighty towers back up in the sky
Or, maybe we should build only one and put it in the clouds
to prove that we're a mighty nation, strong,just,and proud.
Because the world looks upon the United States like a beacon in the
night.
I know deep down in my heart that we can do that which is right.
lets not forget them who fought and died that we could live free.
I say we rebuild tall to memorialize freedom for the world to see.
OUR SPIRIT SURVIVED.
My country is to me the land of the brave,and free
where freedom reins
No gates or wall are there
A place where the people care
though evil brought despair
Still freedom reins.
My nation shall rise back
from those evil attacks
and rebuild our great towers back
show our resolve is that
Freedom shall rein.
so lets unite one and all
rebuild strong and tall
because divided we'll surely fall
and end freedoms rein.
Oh! say can we be like the rescuers in the night
those who had to behold the site.
and those that did stay on such a tragic day
should prove to the world we shall survive that awful day
it says our great spirit still raves
in the land of liberty and the home of the brave.
A PATRIOT'S PRAYER.
oh God please hear the prayers of America,be with her
and comfort her in her hour of need.
Strengthen her people oh Lord,and her leaders dear God
be with them that their faith may not recede.
For the time of war is at hand;we Americans
have been attacked, and lost many lives.
The only way that America will win this war
is when America's spirit is revived.
I see that it has started,when terrorist struck
our land,I saw our once dead faith come alive.
So I pray dear God that you will strengthen our faith,
and give us the courage,and endurance for the battle at hand
because terrorist are scattered across our world and we shall
be fighting in the air,at sea,and on land.
Be with us dear Lord as we use our forces to advance
on all fronts,in the air,on the ground,and at sea.
I pray dear God that you will be with us and the alliance
to assure us of our destined victory.AMEN!!
_THE DAILY NEWS.__
fires break out in the American south west.
A man found dead from a gunshot to the chest.
Thousands of students fail their achievement test.
Stock market falls there is panic on wall street.
Temperatures hit record high,five dead from the heat.
Lady finds a rape victim that was severely beat.
Another war breaks out in the middle east.
_OUR NATION'S LIFE.__
_our nation's life is suspended
with the fall of our mighty towers
our nation's life is suspended
by the acts of an evil power
our nation's life is suspended
all of our lives are torn apart
our nation's life is suspended
there is agony in our hearts
THE ROAD TO HAMMONGOG.I see the holy land alone in the world with gog,
and Magog raging;land for peace,peace for land each
saying to the other "give unto me first then I to you,
or else;Palestine wanting a Palestine,Israel wanting to
keep Israel and the terror grows swelling their hordes
and bands;still lurking in the north lyes the head of
the serpent waiting silently,hidden,coiled ready to strike.
THE CYCLE.
The stars and planets spin,and revolve around
the sun like pendulums in a clock,as though they
were counting down the depth's of time its self.
CALAMITY AND UNITY.Let us not be afraid America let us not be afraid at all
to rebuild our nation's skyline proud,strong,and tall;
holding on to our memories of yesteryear while building a better tomorrow
even though our nation at this time is full of hate,and sorrow.
THE HEAT OF BATTLE.
fires flash in the midst of the sky,
its bright yellow,and red colors striking
like lightening and then its roaring rumble
shakes the ground and I tremble.
FEAST FOR THE BEASTS.
Carried by wings of angels on high
flying on to victory
the arms of men that soar in the sky
crossing the mighty sea
Your paths are set high and straight
in the prophecies I see
Your enemies you shall annihilate
and multitudes shall flee
they shall gather with their affiliates
north of the dead sea
and there will be many,a great and mighty band
but here is their misery
as they unite to fight against the holy land
It is there the world shall see
the power of the great almighty God
in his wrath exceedingly
and upon the holy lands mountain sod
God will slay his enemies that is the fate of that ancient empire
written for all to see
they shall be eaten by beasts and burned with fire
lost for eternity.
HE SAW NINE ELVEN.Gog and Magog are stories of old
in Ezekiel is where the story is told
of all the events in modern date
even the attack on the United States.
One mans evil thought brought suffering and pain
he preyed on the innocent,and took life for a gain.
The prophets prophesied that terrorist's evil thought
but his own demise is what he has utterly begot.
On the mountains of Israel his armies will be slain
for perverting the name of God thru ill-gotten gain.
he has brought terror to our soil,I fear they are in our land
they drove a car three thousand miles, with plans in hand ?
God only knows the evils they have placed in such a vast span,
But the sleeping giant is now awake and standing on his feet;
Still Gog and Magog shall cloud Israel with their mighty fleet,
and in the mountains of Israel God will deliver us their defeat.
ALL TO WAR.A time of mourning has come to our land
for the death of many comes thru a terrorist's hand,
and a awift retribution is what America demands.
If war is the resolve than war it must be
for we must preserve that which is ours in the land of the free,
and protect our country's cities from to shinning sea.
So lets take the fight to our enemy where ever they may be.
For the right must unite against that which is wrong
because divided we are weak,but united we are strong,
and thru the grace of almighty God we shall carry on.
Even though our towers are torn and mangled the pillar still stand,
and upon those pillars we must rebuild our mighty towers again
because with God we stand on solid,not on sinking sand.
I pray for the day in which all hatred will finally cease
on that day our love and concern as a whole shall increase,
but now we must fight so we can insure the future peace.
In wake of our tragedy our spirit though wounded must endure
so we can rise to the tasks ahead with confidence asured.
MY PLACE.I sat down one day and read
a book unlike I've ever read
and as I read a voice I heard
that spoke to me these sweet words
"For I so loved" he said to me
" I gave my son for you to be
an advocate between you and me"
and then I fell upon my face
" Oh praise the Lord for his saving grace
I thank you Lord for taking my place
and forgiving me for my disgrace.
TO AND FRO.
I stare at the lunar glow
the changing tide begins to flow
like it did so many years ago
when men sailed the seas to and fro
ancient vessels which crossed the sea
their maps dotted in the etheral sea
which sailors on their journeys
perfecting their knowledge of sky and sea.
AN IDEA.It came to me one day
and in an instant went away
it came again and I caught it
with pen and paper I wrote it
An Idea.
