The United States of Israel: Sponsored by YOU


If your senator is not Ron Paul or John Dingell, your representation has just voted YES to a bill to give Israel a billion dollars, yes a BILLION, in military resources. The only person to speak out against the bill was Dr. Paul, and you can read his eloquent speech (that was completely disregarded by his colleagues) HERE.

In a country on its economic last legs, where almost as many families are on food stamps as are not on them, couldn’t that billion have been better invested here, to make the lives of Americans better?

HR 4133, the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act, is a bill that even requires the United States to veto any future bill that is critical of Israel.  To quote the text of the bill, the purpose is to “reaffirm the enduring commitment of the United States to the security of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.”

And to that, I think the time has come for us to say, “What the HELL?”  Do our members of congress represent their constituencies or a tiny horrid little country that bombs the crap out of innocent Palestinian families? We need to recall our members of congress and replace them with people who will represent their constituencies and the best interests of America – not the interests of their Zionist puppet-masters.

It doesn’t get more serious or blatant than this.  Our entire congress, with only the two afore-mentioned hold-outs, is completely owned by the cult of AIPAC.  There is now a LAW that our country must take this country’s defense on our own backs.  Why would Israel be able to dip into OUR national treasury, when Americans are going hungry and becoming homeless at ever-increasing rates?

The bill sets up Iran as the official enemy of the world.  “Iran may soon attain a nuclear weapons capability, a development that would fundamentally threaten vital American interests, destabilize the region, encourage regional nuclear proliferation, further empower and embolden Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and  provide it the tools to threaten its neighbors, including Israel”. In reality, Iran’s only issue is attempting to defend itself from IsraelIran has stated numerous times that they do not intend to build nuclear weapons, and that the weapons are in fact, against the laws of Islam. Israel, on the other hand, is a secret nuclear superpower – possessing 200-300 nuclear weapons.

The bill supports an ““an expanded role for Israel within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including an enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises.”  If you have been paying attention lately, NATO only exists to bully the world into submission to the New World Order.  Giving a small warlike country like Israel a bigger role in NATO is like giving the fat kid the jar of lollipops and expecting him to dole them out wisely.

It isn’t difficult to read between the lines of this bill and see our future.  When Israel attacks Iran, the United States will be drawn into the war.  Iran has the backing of China and Russia, who will then be drawn into the war.  The miniscule country of Israel, with pure evil intent, will draw the bigger countries into a third world war.

And yes, Israel IS evil.  Please research the difference between being Jewish and being a Zionist before you write and call me anti-Semitic.  The heinous war crimes committed by Israel against defenseless men, women and children of Palestine are not sanctioned or decried by the United Nations. The Gaza Strip is little more than an open-air concentration camp, subject to constant terrorism from Zionist Israel – racially-based terrorism.  The International Criminal Court (also highly influenced by AIPAC) has declined to conduct an investigation, saying the Palestine is not a recognized state.  This means that Israel can continue their terrorist attacks (now sponsored by the taxpayers of the United States) without fear of reprisal.

So, the next time you pay sales tax on an item you purchase, have income tax withdrawn from your paycheck, or make any of the other “contributions” required by the government, know that YOU are now supporting Zionist Israel because of the vote of your member of Congress.

As for Congress, I suggest we recall them all for betraying their constituencies and start over.  We can’t do any worse than the Zionist puppets we have now.

2nd Amendment Sneak Attack

CORRECTION:  Bill 1813 does not give the IRS the power to take away guns.  It gives the Secretary of Transportation the power to limit or restrict the transportation of guns.  I'd like to offer my sincerest apology for passing on incorrect information, and I'll strive to be more accurate in the future.  Thank you to those who wrote to point out the mistake - it is greatly appreciated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It looks like the power of the IRS to revoke passports is merely a drop in the tyrannical bucket.
The Senate has voted to approve Bill 1813, which is now on its way to the House.  The insidious bill has so many attacks on freedom that the most serious one has been largely overlooked.
There are two attacks on gun ownership in this bill.  The text of the bill, all 1676 pages of it, can be found HERE.
The first attack on the right to bear arms is found on page 1323.
The Secretary may modify, suspend, or terminate a special permit or approval if the Secretary determines that—(1) the person who was granted the special permit or approval has violated the special permit or approval or the regulations issued under this chapter in a manner that demonstrates that the person is not fit to conduct the activity authorized by the special permit or approval; or (2) the special permit or approval is unsafe.

In the ambiguous language that the Congress so loves to employ in all things unconstitutional, we can translate that to the parental favorite, “Because I said so.”

The second attack on gun ownership is more subtle.

There is a stream of logic that you have to follow. 

First, if this bill passes, the IRS will have the authority to take away the passports of those whom they say owe more than $50,000 in taxes.  (The tax debt doesn’t have to be proven, mind you, the IRS simply has to accuse you of owing the money.)  You can find this section on page 1447 of the Bill.

When your passport is revoked by the government, you are suddenly on the “no-fly list”.

Membership in the no-fly club puts you on yet another list, as a potential domestic terrorist.

Domestic terrorists are not allowed to have guns.

Don’t believe me?  Listen to Raul Emanuel gloat of it.  He eloquently states “If you are known as maybe a possible terrorist you cannot buy a handgun in America.” (1:13 of the video)


Emanuel, the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama Chief of Staff, makes the top of my personal treason list for this statement. In his own words, "maybe a possible terrorist" means you shouldn't be allowed the rights guaranteed to you as an American. No proof necessary.

Bill 1813, ‘‘Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act’’, is chock full of new ways to take away our personal freedoms.  The bill would require “stalker boxes” on our vehicles, puts a huge number of restrictions on travel and transportation within the US, allows the government to revoke documents and licenses in ambiguous language and is, in essence, nearly 1700 pages of new restrictions. (You can find a summary HERE if you don’t want to read all 1676 pages).

A Call to Action

Did your Senator vote for this bill?  There’s a good chance he or she did, as only 22 Senators voted against it.  You can find out how your senator voted HERE.

The bill was sponsored by Barbara Boxer (California) and co-sponsored by Max Baucus (Montana), James N. Inhofe (Oklahoma), and David Vitter (Louisiana). For your convenience, I've included links to the contact information for each of these Senators.  Be sure and send an email to let them know how you feel about this new attack on freedom.

Email your Representatives and make it very clear that you consider this Bill an act of treason against the Constitution. This directory contains email addresses and contact information for all members of Congress.

Every bill that goes through Congress right now appears to hold another threat to the Constitution (if not multiple threats).  Every word needs to be carefully analyzed so we can fight these attacks.

Remain vigilant. 

Be vocal.

Resist.

CISPA: Congress Takes Another Run at the Internet

Once upon a time there was a bill called SOPA.  Some evil trolls who worked and conducted meetings in a big domed building in Washington DC tried to make a wicked law to allow them to close people's internet-based businesses and websites whenever they wanted, for the silliest of reasons, much to the delight of the head ogre who lived in a big White House. The people of the land all stood up angrily and complained to fight against the law, and through their efforts, defeated the trolls and the head ogre.  The laws of the internet remained fair, the trolls were duly chastened, the ogre pretended benevolence and the people lived happily ever after, internet freedoms intact.....

Well.....until the dragon CISPA reared it's ugly head. 

As we predicted here, the government has been busily creating a law to "protect" us from cyber-attacks like the one recently threatened by Anonymous.

The stated purpose of CISPA is "To provide for the sharing of certain cyber threat intelligence and cyber threat information between the intelligence community and cybersecurity entities, and for other purposes."

(Personally, my favorite line in that statement is "and for other purposes." It sets the ambiguous tone for the rest of the bill.)

The outrages that are blatantly laid out in CISPA (The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) are bad enough, but the vagueness of the language takes the intrusion to a level previously unheard of in a country born of the blood of Patriots and allegedly protected by the Constitution.

CISPA allows "cyber entities"  (internet service providers, social networks and cell phone companies, to name a few examples) to circumvent internet privacy laws.  In an interview with Russia Today, Kendall Burman of the Center for Democracy and Technology stated that, "the bill, as written, allows the US government to involve itself into any online correspondence... if it believes there is reason to suspect cyber crime.

As with other authoritarian attempts at censorship that have come through Congress in recent times, of course, the wording within the CISPA allows for the government to interpret the law in such a number of degrees that any online communication or interaction could be suspect and thus unknowingly monitored."


The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocacy group, states, "It effectively creates a ‘cybersecurity'’ exemption to all existing laws...There are almost no restrictions on what can be collected and how it can be used, provided a company can claim it was motivated by ‘cybersecurity purposes."

In the spirit of making things clear, the bill contains several definitions that only add to the general air of vagueness.

CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE ~ "information pertaining to protecting a system or network from—(A) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (B) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information."


SELF-PROTECTED ENTITY ~ "an entity, other than an individual, that provides goods or services for cyber security purposes to itself."

PROTECTED ENTITY ~ "‘protected entity’ means an entity, other than an individual, that contracts with a cybersecurity provider for goods or services to be used for cybersecurity purposes."

"Cybersecurity" is not defined in the document.

So it's clear, CISPA will allow for the surveillance and interception of your personal correspondence by the government, email providers, cell phone providers, internet service providers and social networks, to name just a few of the allowable snoopers.

Despite the fact that the bill specifically states that entities cannot use the powers granted "to gain an unfair competitive advantage" one must wonder how a profit can be made via CISPA, especially after the corporate outcry against SOPA, which would have greatly restricted the activities of computer and communications companies.  Companies like Facebook, AT&T and Verizon have jumped on the CISPA bandwagon with both feet.

In a letter to Congress, Facebook VP Joel Kaplan wrote, "Your thoughtful bipartisan approach will enhance the ability of companies like Facebook to address cyberthreats.....Your legislation removes burdensome rules that can currently inhibit protection of the cyber-ecosystem."

Fred Humphries, a Microsoft VP commended Congress in a statement "The legislation would seek to eliminate barriers and disincentives that currently prevent effective information-sharing to guard against cyber-attacks."

The United States Chamber of Commerce VP Bruce Josten stated the group's support of CISPA as "an important step in assisting the nation’s public and private sectors to prevent, deter, and mitigate the array of cyber threats from illicit actors without imposing burdensome regulations on industry."

The following companies have all written letters of support for CISPA (you can read the letters by clicking on the name of each company).

AT&T
Boeing
BSA
Business Roundtable
CSC
COMPTEL
CTIA - The Wireless Association
Cyber, Space & Intelligence Association
Edison Electric
EMC
Exelon
Facebook
The Financial Services Roundtable
IBM
Independent Telephone & Telecommunications Alliance
Information Technology Industry Council
Intel
Internet Security Alliance
Lockheed Martin
Microsoft
National Cable & Telecommunications Association
NDIA
Oracle
Symantec
TechAmerica
US Chamber of Commerce
US Telecom - The Broadband Association
Verizon


 
We managed to keep SOPA off the desk of Barack Obama (who we can reliably predict will sign CISPA into law with the glee of a tyrannical zealot.)  Let's keep the momentum going by stepping up to the plate as activists again.

You can find email and mailing addresses for the companies above on their letterhead when you read their glowing commendations for CISPA.  Write to them and let them know that your dollars will not be spent with them, either now or in the future, unless they publicly withdraw their support for this bill.

Lessons from Hitler

It appears that Barack Obama has been reading Mein KampfHe must have been folding down the pages and using a yellow highlighter too, because it would be difficult for him to get much closer to the philosophies of Adolf Hitler.



In a comparison between current events and Hitler's methodical expansion of the German Empire, it appears that our de facto government has been taking lessons from der Fuhrer.

"The Nazi party should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!"  The mainstream media has completely blacked out all things that reflect negatively on the current administration.  Dr. Ron Paul's presidential campaign has been virtually ignored, there was very little discussion about the National Defense Resources Preparedness order, and the drama surrounding President Obama's lack of eligibility has been completely silenced.  People have only been presented with the candidates that are the puppets of the Elite "acceptable" to the Elite.  The public has been soothed to be informed that the blank check prosecutorial powers of the  NDAA are to protect them from the threat domestic terrorists.

"People have killed only when they could not achieve their aim in other ways ... there is a broadened strategy, with intellectual weapons ... why should I demoralize the enemy by military means if I can do so better and more cheaply in other ways?" The people of America have been oppressed financially. With unemployment rates so high that even a blatant doctoring of the statistics cannot hide it, people are desperate to keep their homes out of foreclosure and feed their families.  According to Dr. Bruce Levine, a clinical psychologist "... today, most U.S. citizens are broken by financial fears. There is potential legal debt if we speak out against a powerful authority, and all kinds of other debt if we do not comply on the job. Young people are broken by college-loan debts and fear of having no health insurance....We are also broken by a corporate-government partnership that has rendered most of us out of control when it comes to the basic necessities of life, including our food supply."

"Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future." In recent Congressional testimony, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, Adm. Dennis Blair, acknowledged that the administration reserves the “right” to carry out assassinations. Investigative journalist Andrew Breitbart suffered an extremely suspicious "heart attack" just hours before the release of information that promised to damage the campaign of the President. Whistleblowers of the BP oil spill have been dropping like flies.  Dissent has become a terminal illness.

"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." When your child enters the doors of the local public school, he or she is being prepared for life in the new regime.  Promoting the false environmental movement takes precedence over the "three Rs", and sets the stage for a warm reception of Agenda 21.  Sex education starts earlier and earlier and is extremely explicit.  The children are being desensitized to invasions upon their personal privacy as they walk through metal detectors, have their lockers searched, and are constantly monitored by video cameras and even RFID chips in some schools.  They are being subjected to terror drills with villains such as "homeschoolers" and "fundamental Christians" where they are moved to locations undisclosed to parents until after the drills.  This MK Ultra style of brainwashing is not preparing our kids for successful independent lives - it's preparing them to be good little worker bees who have no concept of resistance.


"There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man." President Obama is definitely taking this one to heart.  He frequently bypasses the Congress by signing treaties and executive orders, both of which do not require Congressional approval.  He and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have asserted that the decision to use military force will not go through Congress, but through Nato and the United Nations, despite the fact that the Constitution states that only the Congress has the authority to declare war.  In his own words, Obama said, "We can't wait for Congress to do its job. So where they won't act, I will.  We're going to look every single day to figure out what we can do without Congress."

The real lesson from Hitler that the current regime might like to take note of, is how he ended up.  As the tide of the war began to turn, he retreated to his bunker for the final 4 months of his reign, as the Third Reich that was rapidly disintegrating before his eyes.  His most trusted advisers and officers turned against him, attempting to surrender Berlin to the allies.  Hitler's own ally, Benito Mussolini, was executed by Italian revolutionaries.  Rather than face that fate, or even worse, surrender, Hitler and his wife were said to have committed suicide when the Soviet forces were less than 500 yards away from the bunker.. (There is some historical question whether Hitler truly died on April 30, 1945 or if he somehow escaped and lived out the rest of his life in wealthy anonymity in South America.)

For contemporary leaders taking notes from Mein Kampf, please remember that oppression begets violent revolution.  More than 77,000 Germans died resisting Hitler. The armies of the world declared war on him.  His own favored officials eventually turned against him and leaked information to the Allies that aided in the fall of Berlin.  Adolf Hitler suffered a nervous collapse and ended up defeated, powerless and eternally reviled. Despite a rip-roaring start at ruling the world, it really didn't end very well for Hitler.

The Royal Decrees...umm...Executive Orders...of Barack Obama

Someone needs to take away Barack Obama's pen.

During his three year "reign", he has signed 113 Executive Orders. 

What exactly is an Executive Order?  The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it for us:

A rule or order issued by the president to an executive branch of the government and having the force of law.

Obama has made no secret of his contempt for Congress, rule of law, and the Constitution.  By using Executive Orders to create laws, he is writing his own rule book.  Executive Orders do not have to clear either the legislative branch or the judicial branch.  Executive Orders have the "force of law" with the mere swipe of Obama's ball point.

Several of his royal decrees Executive Orders have been deliberate attacks on the Constitution, most recently the NDRP order, which means our stuff is no longer our stuff- it's his stuff anytime he wants it.  Here are a few other notable EOs signed by Obama that hint at preparations for the establishment of martial law.


There shall be established a Special Task Force on Detainee Disposition (Special Task Force) to identify lawful options for the disposition of individuals captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations.


...the national defense has required that certain information be maintained in confidence in order to protect our citizens, our democratic institutions, our homeland security, and our interactions with foreign nations. 


 I hereby designate the following officials to classify information originally as "Top Secret" or "Secret".....



When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various States; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.


.....shall be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirements;

But the real Executive Order itinerary has nothing to do with the Constitution and everything to do with Obama's good friends at the United Nations.  He has signed with a flourish numerous Executive Orders to promote the warm, fuzzy blueprint laid out by the UN's Council on Sustainable Development.

Barack Obama is the star quarterback for Team Agenda 21.  With the feel-good names we've learned to expect from Agenda 21 proponents, he has enthusiastically signed a wide range of orders that imply empowerment and brainwashing  education of target demographic groups and promote community based group hugs.















It appears that legislating the old-fashioned, Constitutional way - you know - having the proposed laws go through the House and the Senate first - has become passe.  Obama, in his arrogance, has decided to by-pass the Congress and just make the rules himself.

"We can't wait for Congress to do its job. So where they won't act, I will.  We're going to look every single day to figure out what we can do without Congress."
It certainly appears that King Obama has figured out that he can do an awful lot without that pesky Congress.

New Executive Order: We Can Take Anything from Anyone at Any Time

Very quietly, on Friday, March 16, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order called the National Defense Resources Preparedness order.

Like every "act" or "order" passed of late, the name is a completely misleading piece of false-patriotic propaganda.

It should be called the "We Can Take Anything from Anyone at Any Time" order, because that is exactly what it boils down to. 

The general function of the act is this:

Executive departments and agencies responsible for plans and programs relating to national defense...or for resources and services needed to support such plans and programs, shall identify requirements for the full spectrum of emergencies, including essential military and civilian demand.
This means that any department of the government that is responsible for any item or service, either for the military or the general populace, can make a determination of what the needs of the country are.  The "full spectrum of emergenices" means that this is not specific to times of martial law.

These departments shall:
be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology, for national defense requirement.
This means that if you own a factory that produces something the government "needs", your facility can be co-opted to produce the goods required.  People can be forced to work to provide these items.

A committee, headed up by the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, "shall serve as the integrated policymaking forum for consideration and formulation of national defense resource preparedness policy and shall make recommendations to the President on the use of authorities under the Act."

Six governmental departments have been delegated the authority  "to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense."

This is followed by a list of the Department Secretaries and what items they can "reallocate" (which sounds better than "steal")

(1)  the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2)  the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3)  the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4)  the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
(5)  the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6)  the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.

So, again, it boils down to "anything they want" - if it isn't specified in the list, it's covered by the Secretary of Commerce with "all other materials, services, and facilities".

If you are assuming that this appropriation of personal property will only happen during times of war or great crisis, don't.  That's covered too:

The Secretary of each agency...shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions.
And this brings home "anything at any time".

This is followed by a big section on defense spending and allocation of funds (more spending), as well as what reports need to be written.

Then the order discusses "labor requirements" of the "national workforce".  Some of the new responsibilities of the Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, are as follows:
  • make a continuing appraisal of the Nation's workforce needs for purposes of national defense
  • the development of policies regulating the induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed services
  • formulate plans, programs, and policies for meeting the labor requirements of actions to be taken for national defense purposes
This means that you can be compelled to work at a specific job if the government deems it necessary.  Further, they can put you in the military, even though we currently have no active draft.

A decision-making committee has been formed.  Pay attention, because these are the folks that can take your things, commandeer your business and make you work wherever they choose, whenever they choose.

 The Secretary of State
 The Secretary of the Treasury
  The Secretary of Defense
 The Attorney General
   The Secretary of the Interior
   The Secretary of Agriculture
  The Secretary of Commerce
 The Secretary of Labor
The Secretary of Health and Human Services
The Secretary of Transportation
The Secretary of Energy
The Secretary of Homeland Security
 The Director of National Intelligence
The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
The Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers
The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
The Administrator of General Services

Finally, Part VIII of the order defines the general provisions- the items and property of American people which can be taken from them under the scope of this act.  It is simply astounding in it's breadth of definitions.
  • "Civil transportation" includes movement of persons and property by all modes of transportation in interstate, intrastate, or foreign commerce within the United States, its territories and possessions, and the District of Columbia, and related public storage and warehousing, ports, services, equipment and facilities, such as transportation carrier shop and repair facilities.  "Civil transportation" also shall include direction, control, and coordination of civil transportation capacity regardless of ownership.
  • "Energy" means all forms of energy including petroleum, gas (both natural and manufactured), electricity, solid fuels (including all forms of coal, coke, coal chemicals, coal liquification, and coal gasification), solar, wind, other types of renewable energy, atomic energy, and the production, conservation, use, control, and distribution (including pipelines) of all of these forms of energy.
  • "Farm equipment" means equipment, machinery, and repair parts manufactured for use on farms in connection with the production or preparation for market use of food resources.
  • "Fertilizer" means any product or combination of products that contain one or more of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for use as a plant nutrient.
  • "Food resources" means all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption.  "Food resources" also means potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers.
  • "Food resource facilities" means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including cold storage) of food resources.
  • "Health resources" means drugs, biological products, medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment required to diagnose, mitigate or prevent the impairment of, improve, treat, cure, or restore the physical or mental health conditions of the population.
  •  "Water resources" means all usable water, from all sources, within the jurisdiction of the United States, that can be managed, controlled, and allocated to meet emergency requirements.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America...
Signed,
BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE,
  March 16, 2012

This Executive Order was quietly signed on Friday afternoon.  It is the death warrant of private property in the United States.  An Executive Order, by definition, does not require congressional approval.  A president can use it to set a policy and avoid all public debate and opposition. 

This is nothing more than a foundation for the establishment of peace-time martial law.  The President and his buddies are no longer trying to hide behind a facade of democracy.  HE IS INTENT ON COMPLETE CONTROL.  No president, not even Bush, with the unPatriot Act, has done more damage to the Bill of Rights than Barack Hussein Obama. His utter contempt for the property and liberty of the American people, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is positively unmatched in the history of this country.

NOTE TO READERS: 
It remains to be seen if the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media will publicize this outrage - nearly two days after the fact there is little to be found in a Google search, so my hopes aren't high.  Don't let the current de facto government sweep this under the rug - let's make it our responsibility to spread the word on this.

Obama and his minions aren't done yet. 

Thank you to Possee!

Resist or Submit: It's Time to Pick a Team

The classic battle of good vs. evil has begun. 

Actually it began a long time ago.  Secretively, the skirmishes began in plush back rooms, with just a few of the "Elite"  of the world, plotting on how to take over and make the planet serve their purposes.  Their motto?  Serve or be served.  They are the Powers That Be and they certainly don't intend to serve us.

Now they've decided to include the rest of us in the game.




This all sounds very dramatic.  It sounds like something from a really good spy flick or a supernatural battle movie, where good always wins in the end, no matter what the odds.  You can almost picture the players.....the good looking hero and his beautiful sidekick, the scowling villains, heads surrounded eerily by the wafting smoke from their cigars.  Film noir at it's finest, a thrilling ride that is over in two hours and 10 minutes, with justice firmly reestablished.

This isn't a movie, though.  It's not just life in the United States - this is the world over. The end-game of the PTB is near, and we must now all pick a side.  The choices are defined.  We are now pawns in the game, being moved around the big golden game board by the richest most powerful 1% of the world's population.  We are the toys of spoiled sociopathic children with armies.

The options?

Resistance
or
Submission

You can't opt out - participation is a requirement.

The day is coming very soon when you have to decide whether to be a slave, being fed and sheltered at the whims of the PTB; or to fight - to resist, evade and battle for the freedoms given by God and guaranteed by the Constitution.

There's a hierarchy in place, and one at a time, those at each of these levels are choosing sides.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

Members of the United States government have already chosen whether to ally with the people or the PTB. It appears that most whom have been given seats in Washington have sided against their constituencies, having already made deals with the Devil in order to be elected.  While many of them seem to think that they are the ones in power, in actuality, they've been purchased, blackmailed or subdued and they are mere servants in expensive suits.  Heads of state, members of Congress, directors of federal law enforcement - all are players in this level.

There are a few notable holdouts, like Ron and Rand Paul, but the vast majority of the Congress has gone over to the dark side.  One need only look at the voting results for passing the NDAA to see which team the Senators and Representatives have chosen.  The governmental members of the Resistance will be targets.  "Accidents" will befall some of them.  Outright assassinations will occur.  Threats against life, loved ones and personal liberty will be a regular occurrence.  And yet a few brave men and women will resist, lead and fight.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL PROPAGANDA

The next rung down is the mass media, the propaganda machine.  As discussed in another article, PUBLIC ENEMY #1: THE MASS MEDIA, our press can no longer be considered free press.  The incestuous relationship of the various boards of directors with big banking, the Federal Reserve, AIPAC and the government means that the media is not a beacon of truth.  The media will not tell us what is really going on.  The media is firmly ensconced on the side of the Elite, serving them. 

The media has chosen to submit rather than resist.  The small portion of the media who have chosen to resist can only be found on alternative media sites, which is why the Powers That Be (PTB) are inflicting a chokehold on the internet, the last bastion of free speech and free thought. 

MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

The game is trickling down quickly. 

Now our military and law enforcement personnel are being engaged.  Laws are passing at a dizzying rate that make our everyday freedoms illegal.  Officers and soldiers must decide whether to keep their oath to protect our country from enemies foreign and domestic, to protect the public instead of terrorizing them, or to take the easier path of just "following orders" without critically thinking them through. 

Thinking about orders, is of course, trained out of soldiers in boot camp, but the ability to contemplate right from wrong is still there.  Moral men and women will question authority as the acts they are called upon to perform become more and more deplorable.  Those moral men and women, the resistors, will then be in danger. Questioning the directives of the PTB is sternly frowned upon.

Analyzing our military and law enforcement personnel, we'll see a few different personality types emerge.

1.) The Power Hungry:  These are the people who will gleefully serve any purpose given to them by the PTB, because they mistakenly think it makes them important, powerful, and most of all safe.  They are dangerous to the resistors, and far more disposable to the PTB than they think they are.

2.) The Sadists:  These are the ones who went into the military or law enforcement simply because they are bullies at heart and this was a legal way to subliminate their urge to dominate and degrade those around them.  They will take unholy joy in following and even exceeding the wishes of the PTB.

3.) The Rule Followers:  These people could go either way, but winning them over would be difficult.  They are practically brainwashed in duty, following orders like machines, having been programmed through their military and police training NOT to think about what they are doing.  Some can be awakened, others are too far down the rabbit hole of propaganda.  They are dangerous because they truly believe they are doing the right thing.

4.)  The Resistance:  These men and women are critical thinkers.  They have clear cut ideas of right and wrong.  They will refuse to follow orders that are ethically wrong.  They will be targets of the PTB, because they can't have minions that insist on thinking independently.

The Rest of Us

Way down at the bottom of the hierarchy comes the rest of us.  We aren't in uniforms.  We've made no oaths or vows to defend our homes, cities or country.  Most of us are just regular people, raising our kids and struggling harder every year to keep a roof over our heads.

1.)  THE RESISTANCE:  Some of us are awake to the things going on around us and we've chosen the side of  Resistance.  Just the fact that you are reading this article means that you are far more in touch with reality than most of the people around you.

2.)  THE PASSIVISTS:  Others are awake and have chosen to "go with the flow" because they are afraid to take the risk of making a stand.  They think that it will protect them in the long run to simply hide out on the Barcalounger, quietly going along with whatever ridiculous laws are passed next, hoping to escape notice and be allowed to trudge along in safety.  They've already given up.  They have surrendered before the real fight even happened.

3.)  THE SHEEP:  These are the people who work their 8 hour day, come home, have a beer and watch the football game or American Idol.  They are blissfully unaware of the things going on in the world, and so far the only thing they've noticed is that their paycheck doesn't buy what it used to.  Some of them have begun to lose their personal accumulations of wealth through job loss, higher taxes, inflation and foreclosure, but they don't really understand why - just some vague notion of a "bad economy."  These people will be pretty far down on the list for the PTB because they don't pose any actual threat.  They are oblivious and by the time they become aware of what is going on, the gate of freedom will have slammed resoundingly closed. 

THE ENTITLEMENT RECIPIENTS:  This crowd breaks down into two subtypes.  

Type 1:   Non-thinkers who have already been purchased by the PTB.  They already live the slave life that is prescribed, voting for the person who gives them the most benefits and not looking beyond their personal bubbles.  They don't question anything, as long as their services remain uninterrupted.  For this service to the PTB, they are fed, clothed, medicated and given enough money for cigarettes. 

Type 2:  Those who are recieving benefits because the government has already taken everything from them.  They've lost their homes and cars.  They've been injured, mentally, physically or both, in wars for oil.  They are the nominal percentage of people receiving assistance in the manner in which it was designed.  Many of these people are enlightened and will come down firmly on the side of the Resistance.





The time to pick your team has arrived.

Will you stand and fight, risking your already diminished liberties, in hopes for greater liberties for your children?

Will you submit, accepting the handouts from the PTB, in hopes that your children can merely survive?

Obama: I Don't Need No Stinkin' SOPA!!!

Remember how the internet community breathed a deep sigh of relief last week when the House and Senate shelved the SOPA bill due to public outcry?  Remember how Barack Obama vowed to veto the bill if it came across his desk?  Remember how we all suspected that wasn't the last we'd heard of a bill allowing widespread internet censorship?



In one of his sneakiest moves yet, the very same Barack Obama who denounced the SOPA bill had already signed a treaty called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which makes SOPA look comparatively tame.  This was signed in OCTOBER of 2011!

Obama did an end run around Congress by signing the treaty without their ratification.  Because the treaty is global, there is absolutely no escaping these laws by running your site from a different country or using proxy servers.  He did this by calling it "an executive agreement" instead of a treaty, thus semantically nullifying the requirement for congressional approval.

The powers of ACTA are far broader than the powers of SOPA, and not just geographically.  ACTA allows copyright holders to insist that ISP providers remove content from the internet without a court order.  The agreement also pushes for the power for copyright holders that feel they have been infringed upon to demand that the violators of the intellectual property have the internet connection removed WITHOUT LEGAL REPRESENTATION.

The sticking point for President Sneaky Pants Obama is this:  an executive agreement cannot be signed if the subject matter is under the purview of the Congress.  Intellectual property, thankfully, is protected in the Constitution in Article One, Section 8, as a topic that is the responsibility of Congress.

This is the next step in the battle for internet freedom.  We know that we can't trust the government-and-big-business-owned mass media.  The internet is truly the only place that we can research and learn from alternative independent sources.  The government is controlling all of the information we receive from other sources - it is vital that we keep our internet free of censorship.

Write your congresspersons and let them know your feelings on this.  Let them know that you insist that this be treated as a matter for Congressional ratification.

The Obama Manifesto?

In 1848, Karl Marx, with the help of Friedrich Engels and the Communist League, published The Communist Manifesto.  In this pamphlet, Marx outlined the 10 principles of Communism.

Today, in 2012, the Obama administration, aided and abetted by the Congress, seems to be aiming our country more towards those principles while trampling all over the standards laid out by the US Constitution.




1.) ABOLITION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY  More and more homes are being lost to foreclosure every day.  Property taxes are skyrocketing, while property values decrease.  If you think you actually own your home or place of business, try going for a year without paying your taxes.  The government simply lets you use the building, and charges you rent via the taxes.

2.) PROGRESSIVE TAX Progressive tax increases an individual's taxation level as their income increases, then distributes these funds to the less fortunate.   Under the current administration, entitlement spending has been the fastest growing sector of government spending.

3.)  ABOLITION OF RIGHTS OF INHERITANCE Obama supported an increase in federal estate tax rates to 45%. After lengthy squabbling it was settled at 25%. However, in 2013, if the tax is not repealed, it could rise immediately to as high as 55%.  Some states also have their own estate tax.

4.)  CONFISCATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF EMIGRANTS AND REBELS It remains to be seen what will happen to the property of those detained under the NDAA, but I know where I'd put my money if I was a betting person.

5.)  A CENTRAL BANK Can you say "Federal Reserve"?  Further, with the bailouts, the "too big to fail" banks are all funded by the US government anyway.

6.)  GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION The NDAA considers the internet an "operation domain".    This allows the Department of Defense "upon direction by the President may conduct offensive operations in cyberspace." We can't forget PCNAA (Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act) which is also called the "Internet Kill Switch" bill.   If SOPA passes, even more restrictions will occur.  As for transportation, if you travel by air, prepare to be molested by thugs.  Coming soon?  TSA in your local train and bus stations.

7.)  GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF FACTORIES AND AGRICULTURE Corn subsidies, automotive bailouts, and rigorous manufacturing and FDA restrictions are the way that the government is currently controlling the goods produced in the United States.

8.)  GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF LABOR The working class cannot profit from their labor if the government taxes them excessively.  As more and more American jobs are shipped overseas, the government exercises more control over the jobs that are available.  The high debtloads encouraged for most American families through overlending means that there aren't as many options to retire early, work part time, or be self-employed.

9.)  CORPORATE FARMS AND REGIONAL PLANNING "Food Modernization" bills mean less freedom for farmers to provide options like organic goods.  The pressure to use GMO seeds to receive the government subsidies could also mean a staggering famine in the near future, which plays into the revolving scenario of more dependency on the government.

10.)  GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF EDUCATION When the government supplies the funding for education, they also make the rules.  The current administration is taking steps to waive student loans and to grant billions more in educational dollars via Pell grants to allow more young people to attend college.  This comes with another price tag:  a student's course of study must meet the administrations rigorous restrictions.

Somehow things in the United States have gone horribly awry.  It would be difficult for the country to get much further away from our own founding document, the Constitution.

Anti-SOPA Email Campaign

Please feel free to use the following letter in part or in full to contact your local Senators and Representatives to make your feelings known regarding the SOPA bill that is currently on the table in Congress. A link to the email contact information for every member of congress follows.

Let's make some noise about this!  Let's use the power of alternative media before they take it away from us!



The Honorable (full name)
United States (Senate or House of Representatives)
Washington DC

Dear (proper name, i.e., Senator Smith)

My name is XXXXXX and I am a member of your constituency.  I am a registered voter and am active at every election.  It is my understanding that your purpose in Washington is to represent the wishes of those who elect you.

First, I'd like to tell you how disappointed I am in the passing of the NDAA.  I have a thorough understanding of the legislation and I feel as though this is a black mark against the Constitution.  The reason I am writing you today is to tell you my thoughts on Bill H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act.  After contemplation of this document, I feel that it is misnamed as a way to manipulate the people into believing that it is for our own good.  This bill is clearly an attack on the First Amendment and intended to police the internet.  This bill is designed specifically to legalize government censorship.

I urge you to vote AGAINST the passing of the SOPA bill.  Please be assured that I will be checking the roll call on this vote and plan to be very vocal in my support of those who vote against it, or, alternatively, in my criticism of those who vote for it.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read this letter.  I hope that I can count on you to protect my rights under the Constitution, and that I can continue to support you as a voter from your electorate.

Respectfully,

XXX XXX

Suggestions:

~   Use your first and last name

The Internet: The Last Bastion of Free Speech

In the fight for free speech, the internet is the last holdout.  It is the only place that your opinion can be your opinion and can be stated as loudly as you want without fear of repercussions.



But not for long if the US Congress has it's way.....

Much like the treasonous, unconstitutional NDAA, Congress wants to pass another bill to undermine personal freedom and, of course, yet another amendment.  This time they are taking a crack at the 1st amendment with H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA.

By quick and vague definition it makes a lot of sense.  Sheesh, criminals are making a killing stealing music and movie off the internet, when good and decent folks pay for all that!  By golly, it's gotta stop!

My favorite presidential candidate, Senator Ron Paul, disagrees.  See this article to hear more from Dr. Paul on the subject.

But wait....on closer inspection, the legalese in the bill has the potential to eviscerate free speech....and like NDAA, without proof...only with suspicion of "wrong-doing".  It's all about copyright infringement.  If you tick off the powers that be, and you've quoted someone, somewhere, saying something, you may have infringed on their copyright.  As a defendant, you are not even present at the legal proceeding allowing "them" to shut you down until you prove yourself innocent.

How do they shut you down?  Search engines are required to remove you from their listings.  Internet Service Providers can be ordered to block access to your site.  Advertising networks and payment providers can also be forced to cease doing business with you.  This continues until you are proven INNOCENT.  Wait - I thought it was innocent until proven guilty....oh....that was "before" the NDAA.

Not only can SOPA nail you with a felony for "infringing" on a copyright (by doing something as small as playing a clip of a hit song during a photo montage ) - it can get you for "facilitating" infringement, which could be something as small as a hyperlink on your blog.  SOPA also targets address-spoofers and proxies that people around the world use to protect their anonymity.

What can you, as an everyday Jill or Jack, do about this?  How can you see to it that this bill doesn't get out of the House of Representatives?

MAKE SOME NOISE!!!  Take the gloves off.  Share this post and others like it with everyone you know.  Send it to your Representatives and Senators.  Call those same members of congress and let them know that you will be watching their voting records.  Write letters to the editor of your local papers.  USE YOUR VOICES.

Feel free to share all or part of anything you read on my blog to help get the word out!
