Headlines to Ponder During the Holidays


1. Senior Citizen Fined for Feeding the Birds

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/17720475/detail.html

I thought this was a joke. Surely no cop or politician is too dumb to execute or to enforce this ridiculous law. But, we do live in a wonderland full of stupidity, mindless morons on megalomaniacal power trips and control. Welcome to the land of the sheep and the home of the slave!

3. The speed trap set by your neighbor - police recruit residents in road safety war

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1088718/The-speed-trap-set-neighbour--%20police-recruit-residents-road-safety-war.html

Neighborhood watches are fine, but it should be neighborhood cooperation and there should be a genuine and friendly relationship between the cops (public servants) and the people. For example, look at the relationships between the cops and the people on television shows like: Sanford and Son; the Andy Griffith Show; and What’s Happening. Everyone worked together, and it wasn’t an "us vs. them type situation." In history, Hitler used a twisted version of this type of relationship with the Nazi youth brigades, the brown shirts and the tattletale squads. We don’t want or need this, but there are some in seats of power who would want us to act like little spies on each other for there own nefarious purposes. People need to wake up and if I am wrong, let’s err on the side of caution.

3. Debate on the Existence of Plunge Protection Team

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2008/11/debate-on-the-existence-of-plunge-protection-team/

If you think outside of the corporate box and consider an alternative, you are absurd. You are vilified and coerced to stay on the establishment plantation of non-thought. It’s funny, these pundits never prove that the claims are untrue. They only say that the claims are silly, wrong or conspiratorial. Try doing that in a court of law!

4. No comment from Germany on Kosovo spy report

http://www.wiredispatch.com/news/?id=463166

Germany declined to comment on on Saturday on reports that three Germans arrested on suspicion of throwing explosives at an EU office in Kosovo were intelligence officers.

This is another example of government involvement in terrorism. I wonder if there are any other examples in history that confirm government involvement in terrorist acts.

5. Government bailout hits $8.5 trillion

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/11/26/MNVN14C8QR.DTL

The federal government committed an additional $800 billion to two new loan programs on Tuesday, bringing its cumulative commitment to financial rescue initiatives to a staggering $8.5 trillion, according to Bloomberg News.

See how they sold it? They said pass this $700 Billion bill NOW!!!!!!! Now it’s up to $8 Trillion and rising. It’s kind of like the war: Bush asked for $87 Billion and now the war is well over a trillion dollars. Sales 101, I guess.

6. Horrific quotes:

“The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work, with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.” -- Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
- Aldous Huxley, Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961

Back in 1965, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) sponsored a study to define how they were going to get to where they were then in 1965 to where we are now in the 21st century. They came out with a report in 1969 called ‘The Behavioral Science Teacher Educational Program’ that’s now fully integrated within our educational program. It said:

“Calculations of the future and how to modify it are no longer considered to be an obscure academic pursuit. Long range planning and implementation of plans will be made by a technological scientific elite. This will strain the democratic fabric to the ripping point. The Protestant ethic will of atrophy as more and more enjoyed a very leisured and guaranteed sustenance. Work as a means and an end of living will diminish.

Most people will tend to be hedonistic, and a dominant elite will provide the bread and circuses to keep social dissension and disruption at a minimum. A small elite will carry societies burdens. The resulting impersonal manipulation of most peoples lifestyles will be softened by provision for pleasure seeking and guaranteed physical necessities. The controlling elite will engage in power plays, largely without the involvement of most of the people. The Society will be a leisurely one. People will study, play and travel. Some will be in various stages of drug induced experiences. Each individual will receive at birth, a multi-purpose identification, which will have amongst other things extensive communications and control uses. Each individual will be saturated with ideas of information. Each will be self selected, other kinds will be imposed, overtly by those who assumed the responsibility for the others actions. Relatively few individuals will be able to maintain control over their opinions. .” Most will be pawns of competing opinion molders

7. GM crops 'to be grown in secret'

Trials could also be conducted away from the public in the Government's Porton Down military research site in Salisbury, Wiltshire, it is claimed. There are currently no GM food trials underway in the country and the more than 50 that have been conducted since 2000 have been affected by vandalism.

These people are determined to give the people what they DON’T want. But will the people fight back is the question?

8. Albuquerque police want ad: We need snitches

An ad this week in the alternative newspaper The Alibi asks "people who hang out with crooks" to do part-time work for the police. It reads in part: "Make some extra cash! Drug use and criminal record OK."

Interesting, this is what the Stasi in Nazi Germany did, as well.

9. Citizen Soldiers May Need More Training On Homeland Operations, Defense Secretary Say: Military Examines Role In Domestic Defense

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/11/25/national/main4631564.shtml?tag=topHome%3btopStories

Why does he feel that we are going to have some incidents occur that will require a merger of police and military? What scenario does he see coming that is so bad? Tell me, so that I can prepare. People should ask “Why?” Research “Posse Comitatus!” There is an agenda here that they are not openly discussing with the average people.

10. Social services ’set up CCTV camera in couple’s bedroom’

Council staff are said to have spied on the young parents at night as part of a plan to see if they were fit to look after their baby, who was sleeping in another room. The mother and father were forced to cite the Human Rights Act, which protects the right to a private life, before the social services team backed down and agreed to switch off the surveillance camera while they were in bed together.

So now the government decides who is a good parent according to their own subjective standards? The Government wants to put a camera in your bedroom? Come on folks, wake up!!!

11. A near-riot and parliament besieged: Iceland boiling mad at credit crunch

THOUSANDS of Icelanders have demonstrated in Reykjavik to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Geir Haarde and Central Bank governor David Oddsson, for failing to stop the country's financial meltdown.

Good for the people who are willing to stand up. Will Americans stand up if things get bad enough here? Stay tuned…….

12. THE BIGGEST SCAM IN HISTORY

Just in case you didn't know the Federal Reserve is a private company of bankers with twelve branch banks that confiscate our money and they have been doing this for almost a hundred years,--- this time! They are not part of the United States Government. Yet today they collect hundreds of billions of dollars from American taxpayers every year.

Pay attention now, you're about to read about the biggest and most successful scam in History.

13. Pfizer Implicated in Human Drug Experimentation on Critically Ill Children in Nigeria

Did Pfizer recruit critical ill Nigerian children for illegal drug experiments? That’s what the Nigerian government is charging in an $8.5 billion lawsuit against the drug maker. To avoid a court battle, Pfizer is offering to pay off the Nigerian government with $150 million in drug money, hoping it will drop the case and end what could potentially be a public relations nightmare for the drug maker.

14. 54 year old woman tasered at football game

http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9412105

Here is another example of more idiot cops throwing their weight around. Hopefully, people will get tired of this and realize that we don’t live in Russia or Nazi Germany. I believe that these cops will have to give an account to God for this foolishness

15. The REAL story behind Thanksgiving; pilgrims practicing communism / socialism STARVED until they changed to capitalism!

The failure of Soviet communism was only the latest demonstration that freedom and property rights, not sharing, are essential to prosperity. The earliest European settlers in America had a dramatic demonstration of that lesson, but few people today know it.

When the Pilgrims first settled the Plymouth Colony, they organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share everything equally, work and produce.

They nearly all starved.

Why? When people can get the same return with a small amount of effort as with a large amount, most people will make little effort.

Presentation vs. Substantive Reality: Is What You See What It Is?




“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”—Carl Sagan, American Author and Astronomer


Who fought in the French and Indian War? In which month do the Germans celebrate Oktoberfest? In which country are Panama hats made? How long did the Hundred Year's War last? Things aren't always what they seem to be; hence the title of this article. The French and Indian War was fought between the French and the British; Oktoberfest is celebrated from the end of September to the beginning of October; Panama hats are made in Ecuador.; and the Hundred Years' War lasted from 1337-1453 (116 years). On the surface, the answers to these questions were seemingly obvious, but they weren't. It seems as though the title (the presentation) and the action (the substantive reality) were diametrically opposed one to another. It kind of gives credence to the popular Mark Twain quote that "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, truth isn't." Keep in mind that just because you hear quacking, see feathers and webbed prints on the ground, doesn't mean that there is a duck there now. Could be a nearby duck hunter with a duck calling device around who scared all of the ducks away. So please, whatever you do, ask questions, investigate and find out the truth for yourself in all matters. People and technology can make anything seem real.

Question: If Al Jolson robbed America, and an African American male committed the same crime, would America be equally as outraged? George Bush has signed into law some of the most troubling legislation in the history of this nation, i.e. the Patriot Acts and the warrantless spying/eavesdropping. Some people expressed great displeasure at these and other acts of the President. If President-Elect Barack Obama promotes some of the same types of polices that Americans didn’t support under the Bush Administration, will Democrats, and more specifically African Americans be equally as outraged? “Change we can believe in” and “Yes we can” are some of the slogans that still resonate weeks after President-Elect Barack Obama handily dismantled his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain. Even MSNBC has a commercial that has employed the “Change” mantra. But what kind of change do we expect to see, and what kind of change will we get?

Now, I am not trying to beat up the President-Elect before he formally gets sworn in and takes office, but he was the one that purported the consistent message of “change.” So he set the bar, not me. “Change” was his main campaign slogan, it connected with the people, and the people positively responded to that message. I am trying to understand how his message squares with his actions during and after the election. My main contention and prediction in all of this is that nothing much will change. Here is a good example of what I mean: taxes and government spending. When the Democrats want to fund programs, they just raise your taxes and spend the money. When the Republicans want to fund their programs, they lower taxes, which is a good public relations move. But what the Republicans don’t tell us is that they will sell bonds to the Federal Reserve, which means that the American people will have to pay that money back plus interest through taxes to the private Federal Reserve. It’s a sleight of hand trick, and in both instances the American people are left holding the bag. But I will give the Democrats credit, at least they rob us straight up and we know that we have been violated. The Republicans give the American people red roses, get us drunk, and the American people wake up sometime later not realizing what happened. But the end result is the same: more money out of our pockets.

As far as change goes, here is a list of concerns that I have, and you should too. President-Elect Barack Obama:

• Promotes a redistribution of wealth philosophy.
• Promotes the possibility of an on-going and expanded war, which was never constitutionally declared.
• He is a member of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). A think tank that prides itself on abolishing the nation-state as we know it to make way for a new world governance structure from the international level.
• He was a strong supporter of the banker bailout and more government intervention in the financial markets.
• His main advisor is a perennial Washington insider: Zbigniew Brezinski, thought to be the creator of Al-Qaeda under the Carter Administration.
• He is appointing recycled Clinton Administration operatives to key positions, while he chants “change.”
• Received a majority of the banker’s financial support during the election. Follow the money!!!! Bankers don’t want change, they want dollars. Case in point, the bailout.
• Will leave the Unconstitutional Executive orders of previous administrations in tact, and may possibly use them, i.e., free-speech zones, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, and the Patriot Act.
• Will continue increased government spending.
• Has the ability to repeal much of what George Bush did since he has a nearly filabuster-proof Legislative Branch, but it doesn’t seem as though he is chanting “change” as far as that is concerned.
• Will continue warrantless eavesdropping and cameras on the street to spy on American citizens: a total disregard for a right to privacy as an over-exaggerated war on terrorism is still being fought.
• Promotes national compulsory service.
• Has the support of communist leader Raila Odinga. If a communist embraces you, then that is definitely a red flag.
• Has voiced anti second Amendment rhetoric.
• He is Pro abortion and in favor of carbon taxes.


If it was bad for Bush to do any of these things, and the Democrats complained, then it’s equally as bad for Barack Obama and the Democrats to allow any of this to continue. But I anticipate that the mainstream media will play the race card here. But America shouldn’t fall for it. In some instances, I can see Obama continuing some of the bad practices of the Bush Administration, the people will complain and the media will vilify those people and claim that they are racists. I hope that I am wrong, but I can see that scenario unfolding.

During the 2006 mid-term elections, the people were very upset with the Republican Executive and Legislative branches. The people voted the majority of the Republicans in Congress out, and I told my Democratic friends before the election that Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic majority would do nothing to overturn what Bush did. They all looked at me like I had 22 eyes, but I was right. The Democrats did nothing but stonewall and rationalize things away with that pathetic rhetoric about things take time to change. This is true, but the Democrats have changed very little since 2006 after they screamed bloody murder about things like the Patriot Act, and increased government spending.

See folks, our attention has been diverted away from real issues, while the politicians and bankers are bailing out their buddies with our money, and chanting “change.” Seems like another Bush bailed out his son and buddies too, back in the 1980’s. But this goes beyond partisan politics, because the President-Elect wholeheartedly supported this bailout, not once, but twice. Honestly, nothing will change unless YOU change. The status quo is what makes our politicians strong, but it keeps YOU down and dependent on them. Your party affiliation, gender, age, race, sexual orientation, profession, location are all irrelevant when it comes to making a change and standing up for the truth. To the African Americans and the Hispanics: the white man is not your problem. To the Caucasians: the people of color are not destroying this nation and bringing down the standard of living in the USA. To all of you, I say: the problem is that YOU are letting the bureaucrats on the local, state and federal levels have their way with YOU, with no regard for Truth, patriotism or the Bill of Rights. But remember, it starts with YOU. The politicians are like dogs and children: they only do what YOU allow them to do. Don’t forget what they did during their term when they are campaigning for re-election. They count on your forgiving heart and forgetful mind. YOU need to come out of this mindset and hold these people accountable. The two-party system won’t help us; this system is precisely what got us into the mess that we currently have. YOU have to want better for YOURSELF, YOUR community and YOUR nation. I don’t care what any politician says, if YOU would only realize how powerful YOU are, OUR political woes would be over in a very short period of time.

What can YOU do today to begin fixing this political mess? Well don’t be like the phony liberals and conservatives who just cheerlead for their party and sell their souls at election time by voting for the lesser of two evils. This is mindless buffoonery that causes good people to look the other way while the looting occurs. Get out of the phony left/right debate; those who are stuck there are not informed. They have memorized the talking points of their favorite TV and radio personality to sound informed to unsuspecting people. YOU must get educated and find out what is really going on. I’m not talking about listening to the fallacious mainstream media. If you don’t know where YOU are, then how can YOU know how to get where YOU need to go? Turn off the television and read the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, this will help you to understand that America is off course. We were not established to be a communist/socialist nation, but progressively we have arrived here. Read the US Bill of Rights, and the US Declaration of Independence and see why this nation was formed and what made the colonists sever ties with the British Crown. Read 1 Samuel Chapter 8 to see that God wants to establish righteous rule in the land, but he can’t override YOUR will. YOUR mind has to change about governance. Get out of the black and white race issue; that is only a manifestation of the spiritual problems that we are facing. I have not asked YOU to do a lot, I am simply asking YOU to love YOURSELF and YOUR family and friends enough to investigate what I am saying. If I am correct, then YOU and I have a lot of work to do informing others. If I am wrong, then enjoy watching American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, and the Dallas Cowboys lose every game for the rest of the season. Live well!!!!!!
