The Economic Flop That Was 2010 by Bill Bonner

The Economic Flop That Was 2010 by Bill Bonner


What troubles me is the behavior of our own so called 'leaders.' They devote themselves almost exclusively to the pursuit of power-- for its own sake. I'm disturbed that the media, so called journalists, slavishly serve the interests of power hungry Washington politicians and the evil greedy people who pull their strings. I am troubled that our own oligarchs, on Wall Street and beyond, have somehow managed to steal / cheat / defraud us of 700 billion dollars and stick the poor working stiff with the bill: an enormous bill that will take GENERATIONS to pay for !!! Yet still they escaped scrutiny and ran off with their pilfered billions. These are criminals too, no ???

We have collectively passed into debt servitude to pay for the misdeeds of our own Wall street oligarchs. That's what troubles me. No one noticed or cared. It happened while our media busily distracted us with tales of terrorists and evil Muslims.

The real, private economy spent 2010 paying for mistakes it made over the last 20 years – particularly in the last 5 years. It couldn’t undertake anything new; it had to reckon with things that it did in the past.

Consumers generally paid down debt…or defaulted. Businesses hoarded cash and refused to hire new employees. Bankers made fortunes gaming the Fed’s easy money system. They took the Fed’s money and speculated. They lent out little money to the real economy.

Meanwhile, the authorities were actively making the situation worse. Not just with low interest rates. They had other bamboozle programs and crackpot projects – notably “quantitative easing ".

No great progress for humanity was made in 2010. There were no great achievements. The health care bill was a muddled fraud. The 2010 election was a farce.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS !!! .

America Has Gone Away by Paul Craig Roberts

America Has Gone Away by Paul Craig Roberts

http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts289.html

In a speech to the Newspaper Publishers Association in 1961, President Kennedy said:

"No president should fear public scrutiny of his program, for from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition; and both are necessary. . . . Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian law makers once decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment. It is to the printing press, the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: Free and Independent."

Who can imagine a Bill Clinton, a George W. Bush, or a Barack Obama saying such a thing today?

2011 by Paul Craig Roberts

2011 by Paul Craig Roberts

The year 2011 will bring Americans a larger and more intrusive police state, more unemployment and home foreclosures, no economic recovery, more disregard by the US government of US law, international law, the Constitution, and truth, more suspicion and distrust from allies, more hostility from the rest of the world, and new heights of media sycophancy.

Feds Force Bank to Remove Crosses, Bible Verses, and Christmas Buttons




What right does a privately owned bank. Not a government agency have the jurisdiction to tell another privet owned bank to remove all vestiges of Christianity from this bank. That is what has happened in Perkins Oklahoma. They were ordered to remove anything that said Merry Christmas and Bible verse of the day.Employees could not wear any crosses or pins resembling the Christian faith. Now I say who is next? Under the new banking reform law that passed congress and signed into law this year.Is this part of the new Financial dictatorship of the Federal Reserve telling the country who is the boss?Who are the winners and losers in this new economy? Will they tell me who has a mortgage I can not have home bible studies and have to take down any crosses in my Home since they hold the bank note. If I run a business selling lamps.I have a cross and a painting of Jesus preaching in the sermon on the mount.Will I have to remove the expression of my faith from my place of business by the order of this new economic dictator called the Federal Reserve Bank?This Central Bank which congress turned over its constitutional authority to. These Bankers have thrown people out of there homes,they have looted our nation and they robbed the dignity of the common person. Now they want to take away the faith of many people.There religious freedom they cling to. They want to rob the people of any hope. Today they go after a bank. Tomorrow what privet business will they attack next? Telling them they can not have any form of Christianity. We must stop them here. If we allow them to tell banks what to do.Who will they go after next?

Government Waste: 20 of the Craziest Things That the U.S. Government Is Spending Money On

Government Waste: 20 of the Craziest Things That the U.S. Government Is Spending Money On



#1 A total of $3 million has been granted to researchers at the University of California at Irvine so that they can play video games such as World of Warcraft. The goal of this "video game research" is reportedly to study how "emerging forms of communication, including multiplayer computer games and online virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft and Second Life can help organizations collaborate and compete more effectively in the global marketplace."

#2 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the University of New Hampshire $700,000 this year to study methane gas emissions from dairy cows.

#3 $615,000 was given to the University of California at Santa Cruz to digitize photos, T-shirts and concert tickets belonging to the Grateful Dead.

#4 A professor at Stanford University received $239,100 to study how Americans use the Internet to find love. So far one of the key findings of this "research" is that the Internet is a safer and more discreet way to find same-sex partners.

#5 The National Science Foundation spent $216,000 to study whether or not politicians "gain or lose support by taking ambiguous positions."

#6 The National Institutes of Health spent approximately $442,340 to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam.

#7 Approximately $1 million of U.S. taxpayer money was used to create poetry for the Little Rock, New Orleans, Milwaukee and Chicago zoos. The goal of the "poetry" is to help raise awareness on environmental issues.

#8 The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent $175 million during 2010 to maintain hundreds of buildings that it does not even use. This includes a pink, octagonal monkey house in the city of Dayton, Ohio.

#9 $1.8 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars went for a "museum of neon signs" in Las Vegas, Nevada.

#10 $35 million was reportedly paid out by Medicare to 118 "phantom" medical clinics that never even existed. Apparently these "phantom" medical clinics were established by a network of criminal gangs as a way to defraud the U.S. government.

#11 The Conservation Commission of Monkton, Vermont got $150,000 from the federal government to construct a "critter crossing". Thanks to U.S. government money, the lives of "thousands" of migrating salamanders are now being saved.

#12 In California, one park received $440,000 in federal funds to perform "green energy upgrades" on a building that has not been used for a decade.

#13 $440,955 was spent this past year on an office for former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert that he rarely even visits.

#14 One Tennessee library was given $5,000 in federal funds to host a series of video game parties.

#15 The U.S. Census Bureau spent $2.5 million on a television commercial during the Super Bowl that was so poorly produced that virtually nobody understood what is was trying to say.

#16 A professor at Dartmouth University received $137,530 to create a "recession-themed" video game entitled "Layoff".

#17 The National Science Foundation gave the Minnesota Zoo over $600,000 so that they could develop an online video game called "Wolfquest".

#18 A pizzeria in Iowa was given $60,000 to renovate the pizzeria's facade and give it a more "inviting feel".

#19 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave one enterprising group of farmers $30,000 to develop a tourist-friendly database of farms that host guests for overnight "haycations". This one sounds like something that Dwight Schrute would have dreamed up.

#20 Almost unbelievably, the National Institutes of Health was given $800,000 in "stimulus funds" to study the impact of a "genital-washing program" on men in South Africa.

DOES ANYBODY CARE ???

Western Civilization Has Shed Its Values by Paul Craig Roberts

Western Civilization Has Shed Its Values by Paul Craig Roberts

In our culture the individual counts. This permits an individual person to put his or her foot down, to take a stand on principle, to become a reformer and to take on injustice.

This empowerment of the individual is unique to Western civilization. It has made the individual citizen equal in rights to all other citizens, protected from tyrannical government by the rule of law and free speech. These achievements are the products of centuries of struggle, but they all flow from the teaching that God so values the individual’s soul that he sent his son to die so we might live. By so elevating the individual, Christianity gave him a voice.

There is plenty of room for cultural diversity in the world, but not within a single country. A Tower of Babel has no culture. A person cannot be a Christian one day, a pagan the next and a Muslim the day after. A hodgepodge of cultural and religious values provides no basis for law – except the raw power of the pre-Christian past.

Soldiers Against War by John V. Denson

Pope Benedict has the right Christmas message: the Prince of Peace did not come to make war on Caesar and “liberate the Chosen People from foreign occupation.” He came to liberate us all from sin.

Today’s dispensationalist evangelicals, personified in the Christian Bush and egged on by the cynical, secular neocons, have hijacked the Messiah’s message and turned it upside down…Now they applaud as U.S. forces make war on the world and “liberate” foreign countries by terrorizing, bombing, and permanently occupying them “for their own good.”
Pope Benedict has tried to warn the world that America’s wars are driving Christians from the lands that the U.S. “liberated” (Bush’s “surge” was so successful, don’t you know) — lands that Christians have lived in since the time of Christ. Amidst all the carnage, I don’t hear a squeak from our televangelist warmongers who long for Armageddon so they can rule with Christ over the rest of us unbelievers.

Saint Paul and Augustine both warned against such lust for glory (superbia vitae) and power (libido dominandi). Alas, today’s “Christian” cheerleaders have made these deadly sins the bedrock of US. foreign policy, peddling the Prince of Peace as a god of war. The result was predicted by Solzhenitsyn: the truth will make you free, but falsehood always brings violence in its wake.

Soldiers Against WarThe Story of the World War I Christmas Truce
by John V. Denson
var addthis_pub = "egarris";



GA_googleFillSlot("B2");


The Christmas Truce, which occurred primarily between the British and German soldiers along the Western Front in December 1914, is an event the official histories of the "Great War" leave out, and the Orwellian historians hide from the public. Stanley Weintraub has broken through this barrier of silence and written a moving account of this significant event by compiling letters sent home from the front, as well as diaries of the soldiers involved. His book is entitled Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce. The book contains many pictures of the actual events showing the opposing forces mixing and celebrating together that first Christmas of the war. This remarkable story begins to unfold, according to Weintraub, on the morning of December 19, 1914:

"Lieutenant Geoffrey Heinekey, new to the 2nd Queen’s Westminster Rifles, wrote to his mother, ‘A most extraordinary thing happened. . . Some Germans came out and held up their hands and began to take in some of their wounded and so we ourselves immediately got out of our trenches and began bringing in our wounded also. The Germans then beckoned to us and a lot of us went over and talked to them and they helped us to bury our dead. This lasted the whole morning and I talked to several of them and I must say they seemed extraordinarily fine men . . . . It seemed too ironical for words. There, the night before we had been having a terrific battle and the morning after, there we were smoking their cigarettes and they smoking ours." (p. 5)

Weintraub reports that the French and Belgians reacted differently to the war and with more emotion than the British in the beginning. The war was occurring on their land and "The French had lived in an atmosphere of revanche since 1870, when Alsace and Lorraine were seized by the Prussians" in a war declared by the French. (p. 4). The British and German soldiers, however, saw little meaning in the war as to them, and, after all, the British King and the German Kaiser were both grandsons of Queen Victoria. Why should the Germans and British be at war, or hating each other, because a royal couple from Austria were killed by an assassin while they were visiting in Serbia? However, since August when the war started, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been killed, wounded or missing by December 1914 (p. xvi).

It is estimated that over eighty thousand young Germans had gone to England before the war to be employed in such jobs as waiters, cooks, and cab drivers and many spoke English very well. It appears that the Germans were the instigators of this move towards a truce. So much interchange had occurred across the lines by the time that Christmas Eve approached that Brigadier General G.T. Forrestier-Walker issued a directive forbidding fraternization:

"For it discourages initiative in commanders, and destroys offensive spirit in all ranks . . . . Friendly intercourse with the enemy, unofficial armistices and exchange of tobacco and other comforts, however tempting and occasionally amusing they may be, are absolutely prohibited." (p. 6–7).

Later strict orders were issued that any fraternization would result in a court-martial. Most of the seasoned German soldiers had been sent to the Russian front while the youthful and somewhat untrained Germans, who were recruited first, or quickly volunteered, were sent to the Western Front at the beginning of the war. Likewise, in England young men rushed to join in the war for the personal glory they thought they might achieve and many were afraid the war might end before they could get to the front. They had no idea this war would become one of attrition and conscription or that it would set the trend for the whole 20th century, the bloodiest in history which became known as the War and Welfare Century.

As night fell on Christmas Eve the British soldiers noticed the Germans putting up small Christmas trees along with candles at the top of their trenches and many began to shout in English "We no shoot if you no shoot."(p. 25). The firing stopped along the many miles of the trenches and the British began to notice that the Germans were coming out of the trenches toward the British who responded by coming out to meet them. They mixed and mingled in No Man’s Land and soon began to exchange chocolates for cigars and various newspaper accounts of the war which contained the propaganda from their respective homelands. Many of the officers on each side attempted to prevent the event from occurring but the soldiers ignored the risk of a court-martial or of being shot.

Some of the meetings reported in diaries were between Anglo-Saxons and German Saxons and the Germans joked that they should join together and fight the Prussians. The massive amount of fraternization, or maybe just the Christmas spirit, deterred the officers from taking action and many of them began to go out into No Man’s Land and exchange Christmas greetings with their opposing officers. Each side helped bury their dead and remove the wounded so that by Christmas morning there was a large open area about as wide as the size of two football fields separating the opposing trenches. The soldiers emerged again on Christmas morning and began singing Christmas carols, especially "Silent Night." They recited the 23rd Psalm together and played soccer and football. Again, Christmas gifts were exchanged and meals were prepared openly and attended by the opposing forces. Weintraub quotes one soldier’s observation of the event: "Never . . . was I so keenly aware of the insanity of war." (p. 33).
The first official British history of the war came out in 1926 which indicated that the Christmas Truce was a very insignificant matter with only a few people involved. However, Weintraub states:

"During a House of Commons debate on March 31, 1930, Sir H. Kinglsey Wood, a Cabinet Minister during the next war, and a Major ‘In the front trenches’ at Christmas 1914, recalled that he ‘took part in what was well known at the time as a truce. We went over in front of the trenches and shook hands with many of our German enemies. A great number of people [now] think we did something that was degrading.’ Refusing to presume that, he went on, ‘The fact is that we did it, and I then came to the conclusion that I have held very firmly ever since, that if we had been left to ourselves there would never have been another shot fired. For a fortnight the truce went on. We were on the most friendly terms, and it was only the fact that we were being controlled by others that made it necessary for us to start trying to shoot one another again.’ He blamed the resumption of the war on ‘the grip of the political system which was bad, and I and others who were there at the time determined there and then never to rest . . . Until we had seen whether we could change it.’ But they could not." (p. 169–70)


German and British soldiers fraternize – Christmas 1914


Beginning with the French Revolution, one of the main ideas coming out of the 19th century, which became dominant at the beginning of the 20th century, was nationalism with unrestrained democracy. In contrast, the ideas which led to the American Revolution were those of a federation of sovereign states joined together under the Constitution which severely limited and separated the powers of the national or central government in order to protect individual liberty. National democracy was restrained by a Bill of Rights. These ideas came into direct conflict with the beginning of the American War Between the States out of which nationalism emerged victorious. A principal idea of nationalism was that the individual owed a duty of self-sacrifice to "The Greater Good" of his nation and that the noblest act a person could do was to give their life for their country during a war, which would, in turn, bring him immortal fame.

Two soldiers, one British and one German, both experienced the horrors of the trench warfare in the Great War and both wrote moving accounts which challenged the idea of the glory of a sacrifice of the individual to the nation in an unnecessary or unjust war. The British soldier, Wilfred Owen, wrote a famous poem before he was killed in the trenches seven days before the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. He tells of the horror of the gas warfare which killed many in the trenches and ends with the following lines:

If in some smothering dreams you too could paceBehind the wagon that we flung him in,And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;If you could hear, at every jolt, the bloodCome gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cudOf vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues – My friend, you would not tell with such high zestTo children ardent for some desperate gloryThe old Lie: Dulce et decorum estPro patria mori. (The Latin phrase is translated roughly as "It is sweet and honorable to die for one’s country," a line from the Roman poet Horace used to produce patriotic zeal for ancient Roman wars.)

The German soldier was Erich M. Remarque who wrote one of the best anti-war novels of all time, entitled All Quiet On The Western Front, which was later made into an American movie that won the Academy Awards in 1929 as the "Best Movie" of the year. He also attacked the idea of the nobility of dying for your country in a war and he describes the suffering in the trenches:

"We see men living with their skulls blown open; We see soldiers run with their two feet cut off; They stagger on their splintered stumps into the next shell-hole; A lance corporal crawls a mile and half on his hands dragging his smashed knee after him; Another goes to the dressing station and over his clasped hands bulge his intestines; We see men without mouths, without jaws, without faces; We find one man who has held the artery of his arm in his teeth for two hours in order not to bleed to death."

I would imagine that the Christmas Truce probably inspired the English novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy, to write a poem about World War I entitled "The Man He Killed," which reads as follows:

Had he and I but metBy some old ancient inn,We should have sat us down to wetRight many a nipperkin!

But ranged as infantry, And staring face to face,I shot at him as he at me,And killed him in his place.

I shot him dead because – Because he was my foe,

Just so: my foe of course he was;That’s clear enough; although
He thought he’d ‘list, perhaps,Off-hand like – just as I – Was out of work – had sold his traps – No other reason why.
Yes, quaint and curious war is!You shoot a fellow downYou’d treat if met where any bar is,Or help to half-a-crown.

The last chapter of Weintraub’s book is entitled "What If – ?" This is counterfactual history at its best and he sets out what he believes the rest of the 20th century would have been like if the soldiers had been able to cause the Christmas Truce of 1914 to stop the war at that point. Like many other historians, he believes that with an early end of the war in December of 1914, there probably would have been no Russian Revolution, no Communism, no Lenin, and no Stalin. Furthermore, there would have been no vicious peace imposed on Germany by the Versailles Treaty, and therefore, no Hitler, no Nazism and no World War II. With the early truce there would have been no entry of America into the European War and America might have had a chance to remain, or return, to being a Republic rather than moving toward World War II, the "Cold" War (Korea and Vietnam), and our present status as the world bully.

Weintraub states that:
" . . . Franklin D. Roosevelt, only an obscure assistant secretary of the navy – of a fleet going nowhere militarily – would have returned to a boring law practice, and never have been the losing but attractive vice presidential candidate in 1920, a role earned by his war visibility. Wilson, who would not be campaigning for reelection in 1916 on a platform that he kept America out of war, would have lost (he only won narrowly) to a powerful new Republican president, Charles Evans Hughes . . . . " (p. 167).

He also suggests another result of the early peace would have been: "Germany in peace rather than war would have become the dominant nation in Europe, possibly in the world, competitor to a more slowly awakening America, and to an increasingly ambitious and militant Japan. No Wilsonian League of Nations would have emerged . . . Yet, a relatively benign, German-led, Commonwealth of Europe might have developed decades earlier than the European Community under leaders not destroyed in the war or its aftermath" (p. 167).

Many leaders of the British Empire saw the new nationalistic Germany (since 1870–71) as a threat to their world trade, especially with Germany’s new navy. The idea that economics played a major role in bringing on the war was confirmed by President Woodrow Wilson after the war in a speech wherein he gave his assessment of the real cause of the war. He was campaigning in St. Louis, Missouri in September of 1919 trying to get the U.S. Senate to approve the Versailles Treaty and he stated:

"Why, my fellow-citizens, is there [anyone] here who does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry?. . . This war, in its inception, was a commercial and industrial war. It was not a political war."
The great economist, Ludwig von Mises, advocated a separation of the economy from the government as one important solution to war so that business interests could not get government assistance in foreign or domestic markets:

Durable peace is only possible under perfect capitalism, hitherto never and nowhere completely tried or achieved. In such a Jeffersonian world of unhampered market economy the scope of government activities is limited to the protection of the lives, health, and property of individuals against violence or fraudulent aggression . . .

All the oratory of the advocates of government omnipotence cannot annul the fact that there is but one system that makes for durable peace: A free market economy. Government control leads to economic nationalism and thus results in conflict.

[Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War, pp. 284 and 286]

Weintraub alludes to a play by William Douglas Home entitled A Christmas Truce wherein he has characters representing British and German soldiers who just finished a soccer game in No Man’s Land on Christmas day and engaged in a conversation which very well could represent the feelings of the soldiers on that day. The German lieutenant concedes the impossibility of the war ending as the soccer game had just done, with no bad consequences – "Because the Kaiser and the generals and the politicians in my country order us that we fight."

"So do ours," agrees Andrew Wilson (the British soldier)

"Then what can we do?"

"The answer’s ‘nothing.’ But if we do nothing . . . . like we’re doing now, and go on doing it, there’ll be nothing they can do but send us home."

"Or shoot us." (p. 110)

The Great War killed over ten million soldiers and Weintraub states, "Following the final Armistice came an imposed peace in 1919 that created new instabilities ensuring another war," (p. 174). This next war killed more than fifty million people, over half of which were civilians. Weintraub writes:

"To many, the end of the war and the failure of the peace would validate the Christmas cease-fire as the only meaningful episode in the apocalypse. It belied the bellicose slogans and suggested that the men fighting and often dying were, as usual, proxies for governments and issues that had little to do with their everyday lives. A candle lit in the darkness of Flanders, the truce flickered briefly and survives only in memoirs, letters, song, drama and story." (p. xvi).

He concludes his remarkable book with the following:

"A celebration of the human spirit, the Christmas Truce remains a moving manifestation of the absurdities of war. A very minor Scottish poet of Great War vintage, Frederick Niven, may have got it right in his ‘A Carol from Flanders,’ which closed,

O ye who read this truthful rime
From Flanders, kneel and say:God speed the time when every dayShall be as Christmas Day. (p. 175)

Awaiting the Storm by Fred Reed

Awaiting the Storm by Fred Reed

Constitutionality becomes a fading memory. Random searches in train stations, genital examinations in airports, the decline of habeas corpus, the evasion of the duty of Congress to declare wars, on and on. The government does what it wants. There is no recourse. We are told that it is to make us safe. I haven’t asked to be made safe.

The genius of American politics is to espouse democracy while keeping political power from the people. The trick is to have barely distinguishable candidates for the presidency who carefully avoid mention of substance – the wars, for example, or affirmative action, guns, abortion. These elections, if so they be, allow people to wave placards, roar invective about throwing the rascals out and returning to traditional American etc. The dust settles and things remain as they were.

Governance does not rest with the people. Today, decree replaces legislation, and must, for our safety

Is this our America anymore?


"The story, however, contained social dynamite that explains the rage of Americans who are smeared as nativists and xenophobes for demanding a timeout on immigration.
In the April-May-June quarter, foreign-born workers in the U.S. gained 656,000 jobs. And native-born Americans lost 1.2 million.
From July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, foreign-born Hispanics gained 98,000 construction jobs. Native-born Hispanics lost 133,000. Black and white U.S. construction workers lost 511,000 jobs.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, from Jan. 1, 2000, to Jan. 1, 2010, 13.1 million immigrants, legal and illegal, entered the United States, a decade in which America lost 1 million jobs.
From 2008 and 2009, the figures are startling. In 24 months, 2.4 million immigrants, legal and illegal, arrived, as U.S. citizens were losing 8.6 million jobs.
Query: Why are we importing a million-plus workers a year when 17 million Americans can't find work? Whose country is this?
Why do we not declare a moratorium on all immigration, until our unemployment rate falls to 6 or 5 percent? Charity begins at home. Ought we not take care of our own jobless first before we invite in strangers to take their jobs?"

And, as of today, that mind is on rebellion against the government, at all costs. it's the arrogance, indifference, incompetence, immorality, corruption and slough of our government officials and their body politic, and the media, which are destroying the country.

Who's Lying? by Jim Quinn

" It seems there are 7.1 million less employed people than there were three years ago. Contrary to the spin from the White House, there are 1 million less people employed today than during the horrific 2009 year. Luckily, another 6 million people left the work force, or we'd really have a problem. The truth is that if the government actually counted everyone in the country who wants a job, the unemployment rate is not 9.8%, but 23% and it continues to rise."

Decent people may be shocked by reading about Washington’s heavy-handed treatment of friends and foes alike, its bullying, use of diplomats as junior-grade spies, narrow-minded views, and snide remarks about world leaders. But more Americans seem annoyed by the leaks than by the imperial diplomatic hubris of their elected government.

WikiLeaks has helped demystify the inner workings of our government, sparking a much-needed debate over various U.S. policies across the world and reminded Americans that free societies depend on an informed citizenry. And the disclosures even provided some levity, as we got to read some honest assessments of puffed-up world leaders. We should thank Assange rather than malign him, and we should eagerly await his next release.

Western Civilization Has Shed Its Values by Paul Craig Roberts

Western Civilization Has Shed Its Values by Paul Craig Roberts

" The leaked documents show that the last thing the US government wants anywhere is a government that is accountable to its own citizens instead of to the US government.

The US government’s frontal assault on freedom of information goes well beyond WikiLeaks and shutting down its host servers. In a December 2 editorial, "Wave goodbye to Internet freedom," the Washington Times reports that Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski has "outlined a plan to expand the federal government’s power over the Internet."
The obvious, but unasked, question is: Why does the US government fear the American people and believe that only news that is managed and spun by the government is fit to print? Is there an agenda afoot to turn citizens into subjects?"

Politicians are corrupt, governments generally waste tax dollars and that elected officials can not & must not be trusted !!!

WHY DOES THE TRUTH ALWAYS HURT ???

WHY do most people not want to see or hear the truth ???

Why is common sense so uncommon ???

Will America soon go to lifetime unemployment benefits ???

The best & the brightest are not !!!

" But laws and rights are not the same thing. Laws either respect or disrespect rights, but they do not bestow them, because the government is not from whence rights flow, and you cannot bestow that which you do not first possess. "

The Class-Domination Theory of Power

The Class-Domination Theory of Power

For it turns out, much to your surprise, that the US government used spies, lies, and bribes to promote its global warming hoax. Why ? Because the US and its criminal pals stood to gain power and pelf by impoverishing the rest of us.The empire is under attack. Its financial and economic policies are failures. It’s responding with police state measures. It seems to me that it’s overreacting, which is a sign of the stress it’s under. Also a sign is its obstinacy, stupidity, and inflexibility in persisting with failed policies. And the beliefs and rhetoric of the ruling elite have hardened into dogmas that they can’t seem to shuck off.

As Ron Paul notes, “In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. When truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.”


As Ron has also long noted, the American State claims the right to know every single thing about us: every dime we earn and spend, every phone call we make or email we send. To track our movements. To know what we are teaching our children. To ascertain our shower head and toilet tank. Now even to see all of you naked or feel you up. And a million and one other insanities, indignities, and outrages. Every single aspect of life is within the State’s jurisdiction, or so it claims.
But for us to know anything about the State, aside from its propaganda, is treason. That is, of course, because the State is a criminal enterprise that depends on our consent. The more we know about its murders, its looting, its lying, the less willing we are to consent, to be good little robots, indeed, to worship it as a god, which is always its ultimate ambition, pharaonic Egypt being its ideal.

A Government Caught Up in Mendacity and Lies by Paul Craig Roberts -- Antiwar.com

A Government Caught Up in Mendacity and Lies by Paul Craig Roberts -- Antiwar.com

"The material leaked from the US government to WikiLeaks shows that the US government is an extremely disreputable gang of gangsters. The media, not merely in the US but also throughout the English-speaking world and Europe, has shown its hostility to WikiLeaks. The reason is obvious. WikiLeaks reveals truth, while the media covers up for the US government and its puppet states.
Why would anyone with a lick of sense read the media when they can read original material from WikiLeaks? The average American reporter and editor must be very angry that his/her own cowardice is so clearly exposed by Julian Assange. The American media is a whore, whereas the courageous blood of warriors runs through WikiLeaks’ veins.

Mike Huckabee, the redneck baptist preacher who was governor of Arkansas and, to America’s already overwhelming shame, was third runner up to the Republican presidential nomination, has called for Assange’s execution. So here we have a "man of God" calling for the US government to murder an Australian citizen. And Americans wonder why the rest of the world hates their guts."

Who, Precisely, Is Attacking the World? by Paul Craig Roberts

" Is it WikiLeaks’ fault that all those U.S. diplomats wrote a quarter of a million undiplomatic messages about America’s allies, a.k.a. puppet states ??? It is also WikiLeaks’ fault that a member of the U.S. government could no longer stomach the cynical ways in which the U.S. government manipulates foreign governments to serve, not their own people, but American interests, and delivered the incriminating evidence to WikiLeaks."

European Union: R.I.P.? by Patrick J. Buchanan

European Union: R.I.P.? by Patrick J. Buchanan

Consider two telling comments from the Irish about the terms of the bailout of their country.

"(S)enior bank bondholders are to be protected, while the lowest paid and those most vulnerable people dependent on public provision are to be crucified," said trade union leader Jack O'Connor.

"I think the government should default on the bonds," said writer Valerie Wilson. "We are suffering so the bondholders don't suffer. It's capitalism gone mad."

Translation: Put Irish people first, before any foreigners holding bonds.

PADDY &THE DONKEY

This explains the Western financial business strategy of breaking every law and paying a fine much less than you earned.




The Donkey

Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day…
The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The Donkey has died.’

Paddy replied, ‘Well then just give me my money back.’

The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it.’

Paddy said, ‘OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’

The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him?’

Paddy said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’

The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle a dead donkey!’

Paddy said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’

A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ‘What happened with that dead donkey?’

Paddy said, ‘I raffled him off.

I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898′

The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’

Paddy said, ‘Just the guy who won.

So I gave him his two pounds back.’

Paddy now works for Anglo Irish Bank.

Celente insists that these comments are made due to incompetence and because Bernanke is part of the “white shoe club,” an elitist group that consists of individuals who have never worked a day on their life, there is absolutely no consequence to the mind-numbingly bad decisions that he makes. As a matter of fact, Bernanke is actually rewarded for his “calm and wisdom, bold action, and out of the box thinking” that, Obama says, has steered us through the financial collapse.

“It will be interesting to see how far the current “liberal” Obama Democratic Administration will try to discredit, or even destroy, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange."

Another Pyrrhic Victory

In a superb article in The American Conservative, “Another Pyrrhic Victory,” Kenneth R. Rice II has some excellent observations concerning the newly elected Congress. Rice predicts more of the same GOP evasions and neocon equivocations regarding the Constitution and the welfare-warfare state that has characterized such hollow Republican-led “revolutions” of the past, yet remains guardedly optimistic that unco-opted elements of the grass roots Tea Party movement will continue to reject the unprincipled prescriptions of “the established Republican political class,” and hold these officials accountable for violations of the public trust and their constitutional oaths of office.

TEMUJIN SAYS A POX ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES !!!

America is in trouble & the sheep can not see the forest for the trees.

" With very few exceptions, all candidates for political office are awful.There is no abatement in the high degree of the selling of candidates by calculated means, by image, by mainstream media and entertainment vehicles, by packaging, by adoption of certain positions, and by behind the scenes money and powers. The falseness and emptiness just goes on and on. The candidates be they Biden, McCain, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Palin etc. etc. etc. are cynical and shallow men and women who lack experience, maturity, truthful knowledge, and even the slightest gloss of statesmanship. They are filled with themselves. They think way too much of themselves and their capacity to lead. This is what the system of government systematically produces. The glitter of the publicity drives for these clowns is empty, but it’s still powerfully effective on those who vote. Sorry, I’m not buying it. I don’t trust any of them at all. Most politicians heart’s are in a very different place than in a burning desire for liberty, peace, and justice !!!!

All candidates intend to perpetuate the territorial monopoly of the state in which everyone is treated as under that state, whether they sign on to it or not.Those ordinary folks who counsel working within the system are not radical enough either. They do not recognize usurpation and treason when they see it. The subversion of the Constitution, if one believes in it, is so enormous and flagrant that a politician can engage in treason merely by donning a suit and mumbling almost anything. Most all of them fail to live up to their oaths, so that, even if I thought national politics were worth anything, I’d still be saying that they are all traitors. But I also consider these spotlighted candidates as ideationally and creatively stupid, bumbling, empty-headed, uneducated, immature, fools who are filled with wrongheaded ideas that they have picked up haphazardly from their poor educations, the inept press, and other such sources that fill the air. I think they are clever, though. They are clever enough and intelligent enough and articulate enough and usually good-looking enough to feign the qualities that statesmanship actually demands. They know how to manipulate, get ahead, connive, and propagandize. "

Oh sure, they bust a few people involved. But the institutions make billions from these schemes and they keep the money that these "few people" siphoned off ! "

Are You Better Off Today Than You Were Four Years Ago?



"Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Unfortunately, most Americans are not. Both political parties have controlled the White House during the last four years – Barack Obama has been in office for nearly two years and before him it was George W. Bush – and yet no matter what politicians we send to Washington D.C. things just seem to keep getting worse. We buy more than we produce, we spend more than we bring in, we have 18 times as many "problem banks" as we did 4 years ago, the number of Americans on food stamps continues to set a new all-time record every month and we are living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world. But at least the majority of Americans are still prosperous enough to enjoy a happy Thanksgiving inside a warm, comfortable home. Unfortunately, if things keep going the way they are going, we are going to experience a national economic nightmare that nobody will be thankful for. "

Senator Rockefeller To TSA Chief John Pistole

El Pollo de Oro SAYS

" As The Banana Republic of America (formerly the USA) becomes more and more of a Third World hellhole, human rights violations will become increasingly common. Neocons (who aren’t really neo-conservatives, they’re neo-fascists) will rape the U.S. Constitution in every position imaginable. But here’s the irony: as the BRA becomes more of a police state, it won’t become any safer. It will become less safe. Benjamin Franklin famously said that those who are willing to give up liberty for security deserve neither, and Americans will get neither. Get ready to live in a very violent, crime-plagued Third World nightmare as well as a very repressive Third World nightmare.


There will be some major growth industries in The Banana Republic of America (formerly the USA) in the future. Among them: carjacker, kidnapper, drug trafficker, home invader, mugger and armed robber. Desperate people do desperate things, and there is going to be a whole lot of desperation in the BRA when things go from bad to worse and millions of formerly middle class Americans are fearful of going hungry, becoming homeless or doing without heat in the winter. Americans who are cold, hungry and just plain desperate will resort to violent crimes, and the rich won’t be able to leave the house without an armed bodyguard—unless, of course, they want to be kidnapped. The BRA already has high rates of violent crime compared to Western Europe; so imagine how much more dangerous the former USA will become when an already terrible economy becomes much worse. As Gerald Celente is fond of saying, “When people have lost everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.” And the fact that The White Shoe Boys and neo-feudalist robber barons are indifferent to the suffering of so many Americans will pour gasoline on the flames of unrest.

Che dio ci aiuti. Welcome to life in a violent, decaying Third World hellhole called The Banana Republic of America. If you have a gun, be sure to keep it loaded and keep it hidden in a safe, secure place; you’re going to need it. "

Who fed the tiger?

" Richard Nixon opened China. His 1972 Shanghai communique pointed inexorably to what Jimmy Carter did in 1979: break relations and abrogate our security pact with Taiwan, and recognize the People's Republic as the sole legitimate government of China. In 1982, the Ronald Reagan White House signed on to a communique with Deng Xiaoping's China by which we agreed to reduce and eventually end all arms sales to Taiwan as tensions in the strait diminished.
Under George H.W. Bush, Beijing's crushing of the Tiananmen Square protest with tanks was not allowed to interfere with business. Repeatedly, Republicans voted to extend most-favored-nation status to China. Dissenters were castigated as "isolationists and protectionists." Under Bush II, the GOP made MFN permanent and sponsored Beijing's entry into the World Trade Organization, despite China's downing of a U.S. surveillance plane and incarceration of its American crew on Hainan Island. Colin Powell was forced to apologize.For decades, corporate America championed investing in China and trade with China, though the massive transfer of U.S. factories, technologies and jobs was clearly empowering China and weakening America. Now, with U.S. political, military, industrial and strategic decline vis a vis China manifest to the world, we hear the wails of American businessmen that they are not being treated fairly by the Chinese. And the politicians responsible for building up China are now talking tough about confronting and containing China. "

How Oprah is degrading men for fun and profit

How Oprah is degrading men for fun and profit

" This is a deliberate attack on men, and as a result, evil is having its way with women and children. Christians need to understand and realize that this is a spiritual battle of good vs. evil. Oprah is for the "gay family," but she rarely promotes normal, traditional families. How will men and women ever come together in the right way and have good families if men are considered to be abusive cheaters, rapists and now child molesters?
Women need men to be strong, just as Christ is strong for men. Men are the spiritual heads of their families. Even if the man is weak, he's still a representation of Christ in the home – so when you degrade that man, you're degrading Christ. "

It also results in laziness, an entitlement mentality and an unwillingness to get off one's butt.

Tax Avoider To Be Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom

" As has been pointed out on both the lewrockwell.com page today in an article by David Stockman and an LRC blog post by Karen De Coster, NYSE propagandist billionaire Warren Buffet is grateful that his Bankster buddies were bailed out by the government (instead of being put out out of business as what should have occurred if the United States actually were a free market). I don’t think that it is a coincidence that this love note to the Bankster buddies’ puppets in government appears at the same time that Buffet will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by current Bankster Puppet-in-Chief Obama.




It should be pointed out that Buffet has already admitted that he and his multi-millionaire Bankster buddies “pay less taxes, as a percentage of income, than their secretaries.” In other words, the millionaires and billionaires, who allegedly pay the greatest percentage of personal Federal income taxes, are, in reality, not paying their ‘fair share’ of the Bankster bailout—nor their ‘fair share’ of the rest of the taxes collected to run the Federal government. Not that I believe in government at all, but you get my point. " Posted by David Kramer on November 18, 2010 06:40 AM

Tea party: It's about more than just economic issues

" They have seen the America they grew up in virtually vanish.

We seem no longer able to balance our budgets, win our wars or secure our borders. Compared to what our culture was, it is a running sewer today. Working-class wages and middle-class incomes seem to have been stagnant for decades. Factories and jobs continue to hemorrhage to Asia. Company towns become ghost towns. Made in China has replaced Made in America. And as one drives through cities and suburbs, one encounters vast concentrations of people who speak some language other than our own.

The tea-party people are rising up to take their country back, and that's why they're not going away. "

A Challenge to Tea Party Elected Officials by James Ostrowski

A Challenge to Tea Party Elected Officials by James Ostrowski

" HUD has destroyed many urban neighborhoods and replaced them with gigantic Soviet-style public housing projects that are breeding grounds for crime and despair. In many cases, such as in my hometown of Buffalo, neighborhoods were destroyed and replaced by nothing! At 19:52 of The Incredible Bread Machine, Rothbard does a stand-up routine (sitting down) on how the federal bulldozer destroyed more housing units than HUD built. Billions of HUD development funds have been wasted (of course) and funneled into payoffs to contractors who kick back donations to keep the slimeballs in power. In Buffalo, about $556,000,000 was spent in recent years and it’s difficult to figure out where it went other than patronage jobs. HUD helped cause the mortgage meltdown by subsidizing mortgages that credit-unworthy home buyers could not afford. HUD is a poor manager of its properties, many of which are decaying and many of which have already been demolished. HUD has been called "the worst landlord . . . in the United States. "

John Boehner's 'GobGop' Plan to Sell Out the Tea Party in 2013. It Will Begin in January 2011. by Gary North

John Boehner's 'GobGop' Plan to Sell Out the Tea Party in 2013. It Will Begin in January 2011. by Gary North

Why it is that Americans continue to be enslaved by a monstrously bloated, monopolistic government that plunders every productive person in the society mostly for the benefit of the state’s corporate benefactors and its supportive welfare state parasites ???


" Boehner shilled for Hank Paulson and Goldman Sachs by begging the Republicans to vote for the $750+ billion Big Bank Bailout in 2008. Watch his emotional performance here. "We just have to do it!" No, they didn't. Ron Paul told it straight. He is no GobGop."

2 billion more reasons for fury

2 billion more reasons for fury

no matter what the expressed purpose may be, there has never been such an extravagance in White House history! At a time when this nation is drowning in unpayable debt, when 15 to 20 million Americans are either flat out of work or underemployed, when millions of families are desperate to keep their heads above water and hold on to their homes, when school systems are crying for more money to properly educate our kids, when Fed Chairman Bernanke is printing up billions and billions of paper money backed by nothing, and the United States is technically bankrupt – how can there be any justification at all for such a pompous display of hubris?

Obama has not connected with popular discontent. "A lot of people have never been to Washington or New York," he notes caustically, "and they feel people there are so out of touch. When you're unemployed and you're sitting in your living room and you hear the president say, 'You don't understand what the problems really are – you're just scared,' that makes people really, really angry."

"Obama is a failure. This no longer one man's prophecy, this no longer my opinion. It's a fact."
But Limbaugh also warned Republicans that this year's success would not mean automatic victories in the next round.
"The Republicans cannot rely on this dynamic to propel them to victory in 2012," he said. "They can't do this anymore. They can't rely on Democrats to self-destruct in 2012."
He said they need to clearly articulate who they are and their vision for the nation.
"If the Republicans had actually stood for something ... they would have won the Senate [last night]."

" The tea-party movement is here to stay. The election of 2012 is the last chance for the Republican Party. If you turn out, again, just to be Democrat lite, in 2014, there will be a Tea Party party, and it will send the GOP into the ash heap of history. GOP your job for the next two years is pretty simple. Don't screw up. Don't help Obama. Don't play the patsy you so often do. "

" There might have been an economy outside of D.C. if the banks had passed on the stimulus money that bailed out their failed, crooked butts. But they paid it in bonuses for executive failure, instead. That's why credit-card interest rates are from 15 to 30 percent – when banks borrow money essentially for free from the Federal Reserve. It's because the stimulus was for them, not us. And where are most big banks located? The East Coast.

Do you think if credit-card interest rates were, say, 6 percent on most credit cards that we might have a bit more spending in the economy? Spending that might just cause private businesses to hire people? You know, create jobs outside of government? "

OK GOP GET SOMETHING DONE !!!

This was a good step in the right direction, but Republicans need not celebrate. They need to begin fundamental changes. The people out here aren't playing games . Obama is worried about his agenda while the rest of America in fly over country worry about our nation getting on the right track. "Change". Most people, for whatever reason thought that when Obama spoke of "change" he spoke of changing Washington. As it was, a huge percentage of the people thought that Washington was dysfunctional. Failing to serve the needs of then people while growing ever more powerful and constraining. So Obama was elected on his "change" theme. Trouble came when people figured out that the "change" that he spoke of wasn't about Washington but he wanted us to change. Oops. He wanted us to love unprecidented big government. He wanted us to love his attacking every institution in the land from Wall Street to small business to "bitter clingers". He wanted us to accept back room deals and carve outs for a health care "fix" that was a blatant take over. He wanted us to love his dissing of our country in foreign lands. Well, it looks like the chance to change what really needs to be changed, Washington, is in the works. I can't wait until 2012 My fingers are crossed. Obama's radical "fundamental" change of America has been repudiated. Many Democrats won ONLY because they ran AGAINST Obamacare and the Stimulus. The democrat party had miscalculated the frustration of America and ignored the will of the people. It became a time to rid the swamp of the excesses and that is what America did yesterday.

Here is the another big problem. Carl Paladino , Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, et al....are not extremists, but the left paints them that way and the rest of the country believes the argument. Most Americans are basically lazy when it comes to learning politics, seeing what's going on and then fall prey to the media and the politicians by believing a 30 second add, by determining to vote or not to vote based on someone saying something 20 years ago as a teenager. We need to work to get rid of Obamacare, the government should not be in business of providing or demanding the people to get health care, PERIOD. The government and special interests should not be spending money, time and energy to try to erode our 2nd Amendment rights...we are guaranteed gun ownership, PERIOD....Get over it is a GOD given right. The founding fathers wanted us to be able to fight against tyranny, and that includes our own government if that became necessary. The government is focused on Health Care, while the country is falling apart. AMERICA NEEDS JOBS , JOBS & EVEN MORE JOBS !!!

 Why are our borders not secure ??? That is a real and imminent threat...but little gets done. Why can not they stop illegals by enforcing current laws already on the books ???  The government should be limited in power and scope and it simply is not...that is why we are on the wrong path. TIME FOR TERMS LIMITS ON BOTHE SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.  Two terms for Senators & 6 terms for the house is more than enough. Enough of these career public servants !!!

 The people voted for change in 2008, but Obama and the Dems lied....they lied about what that change meant. The people wanted change in Leadership, not change in the fundamental setup of the nation. That was / is the mistake the liberals made...so they got what they deserved....and in 2012, we will see it again next time unless things change.

Tea Partiers didn't like the direction under Bush with the expansion of government and ever increasing deficit spending, and they sure didn't like the foot on the accelerator the past four years. Now, hopefully, Washington will listen closer to the people and move in the correct direction that will get the economy going again, and it isn't going to happen with more intrusive government and regulation. The Tea Party candidates for smaller, less intrusive government were framed as extreme by the media, but the real extremists were the candidates and incumbents too far to the left. With all the available means of communication available like the web praise the LORD, the people are not dependent on far left commentary by Brian , Chuck , Katie , Diane etc ., etc... or the New York Times and Washington post for the national opinion. Americans get to see the process for themselves, and they don't like it. The Tea Party will keep throwing the establishment out until the new establishment listens to WE THE PEOPLE...

2008 was about rhetoric, 2010 is about reality, 2012 will be about rejection of Obama or the GOP establishment.

AND AS ALWAYS MORE TO COME ......

How to vote now … and why

How to vote now … and why

" It's directly up to you and me – if we vote. That's what our founders intended – that "We the People" would control the reins and call the shots. We can elect men and women who share our respect for the Constitution and our common sense about not spending more than we can afford – no matter what. Because of the mess we're already in, we've got to seek out and elect representatives who will make tough choices – like raising the retirement age, increasing employee contributions and lessening the guarantees, lopping billions and billions out of government spending, dissolving long-obsolete and unnecessary agencies, and immediately stopping billions in foreign aid to countries that vote against us on every issue. These are absolute essentials, if we're going to survive. "

Hey, meathead – it's about freedom

Hey, meathead – it's about freedom

" The intellectual bankruptcy of the left is too evident. We hear no ideas, no substance. No attempt to explain why the massive expansion of government has not been the elixir promised to fix our wheezing, gasping economy but has made things worse.

Instead, we're getting personal attacks. The tea partiers are nuts, kooks, fascists, racists.

Rob Reiner, appearing on Bill Maher's show the other day, likened the tea-party movement to the emergence of Nazis and Hitler in Germany in the 1930s. They're "angry and frightened," selling "stupidity and ignorance," said Reiner, as Maher nodded in agreement.

If Reiner got out of the wealthy left-wing Hollywood bubble he lives in, he might see what is going on in his own state of California and gain some appreciation of what's driving the tea-party movement. "

The Great Pension Lie by Vasko Kohlmayer

The Great Pension Lie by Vasko Kohlmayer

" Self-reliance is not always be easy, but it can be done. Our ancestors showed us how. They managed to live in functioning civil society with almost no federal involvement. There was no Social Security or government healthcare then. It bears to keep in mind that they lived in a technologically far less advanced age, when life was much harder than it is today. And yet they did not look to the state to take care of their needs. They did what they had to do themselves. "

" That makes the number of workers at all levels of government around 32 million, which is roughly 23 percent of the total U.S. workforce of 140 million. That means almost one out of every four workers depend on the government for their paychecks.




Add to that the number of people now on the public dole. If you exclude those retirees on Social Security, there are some 18 million receiving either SSI or Social Security who are under retirement age. There are 50 million on Medicaid, 40 million on food stamps and 10 million who receive unemployment benefits. There are not that many people left to pull this wagon."

AMERICA NEEDS TO GET BACK ON TRACK !!!

A Nation Adrift


Every day the media reminds us that the U.S. hardly resembles the early Colonial period or great Republic formed in 1776. Indeed, the U.S. is a mere shell of its former self, having been gutted by power-hungry politicians, RHINOs , cash-hungry special interest groups, and socialist “reformers” disguised as liberals, democrats, and progressives.
As history clearly shows, it will only get worse if we sit back and do nothing. Every moment we sit idle, hoping things will change for the better, the EVIL 0bama & his socialist minions are destroying our nation , dismantling our country and building in its place a New World Order – their socialist “utopia.”

But the big question is: What should concerned citizens do ???  Can the tea party & like minded folks possibly take our country back this late in the game ???

YES IF YOU GET OUT & VOTE !!!!!

STATUS CUOMO HAS GOT TO GO !!!

Crown Prince Andy the windbag has won nothing. Status Cuomo and his ilk have done nothing for western New York & will not if God forbid he is elected. Commissar and the rest of the Demo-RAT politburo will advance of socialism in this state. Clown Prince Cuomo will further the Demorats in destroying this economy.The majority of folks in this state win nothing.


And it will stay that way — imaginary change, fictitious actions against the elite of Albany that got this state in this huge mess — unless you vote for Paladino on November 2nd.

Don’t rest. The election is exactly seven days from today.

Crazy Carl has not won YET. But HE CAN.

Vote & GET OTHERS TO VOTE. TURN OUT , TURN OUT & TURN OUT !!!

And then the real fight begins November 3rd.

WORDS OF WISE DOOM !!!

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”


Winston Churchill

The problems plaguing America go well beyond economics. In fact, even most of the economic problems we face are a direct or indirect result of a fundamental breakdown in our ability to discern right from wrong, to adhere to tried-and-true standards of morality, to follow the path set out for us by our founders, to recognize that we are "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

The smug arrogant conventional wisdom crowd of the DemocRAT Party establishment hacks are as clueless about the scope of the coming tsunami as the establishment Republican RHINOs elites were in the primaries . The Dems. campaign consultants are going to look very foolish. It is so sad, so head-shaking, that they don’t understand the degree to which America is begging, yearning, for decisive, strong, articulate, powerful, determined, dogged, principled, and rhetorically sound representation from Washington .


Average People are sick to death of the posing, the polling, the pandering, the weak-kneed and lily-livered Washing ton tax / spend politicians & power hungry bureaucrats . Most People I know have NEVER been so deathly serious, so animated, so upset by what the cranks and criminals in Washington and throughout the country are doing.

Folks that never voted will be at the only poll that counts !!!

ON TO VICTORY    TEA  PARTY     !!!

My point is the roots of the tea party movement predate Obama. In essence, the tea party movement is the result of the failure of the Republican Party to shrink government when it had the chance in 1980, 1994, and 2000.

The truth is, the last Republican Administration that shrank government was Calvin Coolidge’s in 1920s ! What we have gotten instead is a series of utterly meaningless clichés such as “I will eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.” “I will run government like a business.” “I will cut taxes but won’t tell you how I will pay for it.” I can tell you that GOP politicians will feed you these lines of nonsense as long as you let them get away with it—as long as we keep voting for them after they tell us nothing about what they will do if elected.

In short, The Tea Party was and is about the corruption of American Politics and the blatant and outrageous theft from all Americans that has resulted.  It is about personal responsibility and enforcement of the law against those who have robbed, financially destroyed and pillaged the nation.
