Headlines for the Week Ending December 27, 2008

1. Cops accused of Toys for Tots thefts ‘tarnished’ police’s image, official says

The four District of Columbia police officers reportedly caught on tape stealing from Toys for Tots “tarnished” the department’s image, a police official said.

Can we start to make examples of crooked law enforcement, politicians and other civil servants?

2. Don’t take health tips from celebs if you know what’s good for you

From Madonna’s quest to “neutralize radiation” to Tom Cruise’s dismissals of psychiatry, celebrities are seldom shy about expressing their views on health and science – even when they appear not to know what they are talking about.

A roll call of public figures such as Cruise and Delia Smith have offered bogus advice or “quackery” this year, according to scientists and doctors. The charity Sense About Science is concerned that celebrities mislead the public when they endorse theories, diets or health products while misrepresenting the science involved.

It’s the same thing that I was saying about the global warming hoax. Dumb celebrities promote dumb science. They don’t even realize that they are being used to look like idiots to sell wooden igloos to the unsuspecting public.

3. NY Times solution to the economic crisis: Raise the Gas Tax

More taxes are always their solution. Too bad the people aren’t tired of it yet. But they will when their children are hungry.

4. Little Blue Pills Among the Ways CIA Wins Friends in Afghanistan

The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Four blue pills. Viagra. "Take one of these. You'll love it," the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.

Well well, our tax dollars are still being spent well I see. Bailouts, scams, wars, lost jobs going overseas, more taxes and complimentary Viagra. What a deal!!!!!

5. New York’s Soda Tax Scam

http://www.junkscience.com/ByTheJunkman/20081225.html

So the government is continuing to find ways to penalize us for making bad choices. The government gives these manufacturers a license to provide their products then the government turns right around and punishes the product and makes it less attractive to their customers. If it is an unhealthy product or not isn’t the issue. Why did the government approve the product in the first place, if it is so bad? Big brother is way out of control, and the people are accepting, as usual.

6. The Government now wants to tax farting. I’m serious………

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,462445,00.html

What more can be said about this? One day the people of this nation are going to wake up (hopefully) and ask, “What have we let happen to our country?” That can’t happen soon enough……

7. Princeton Physicist Calls Global Warming Science "Mistaken"

This is like I have always said. But all the phony proponents of this foolishness have to do is add cool and trendy commercials to this lie and people believe it. People, I am begging you to wake up. If they are lying about this, about what else are they lying?

8. Kids Learn That Killing Is Fun at the Army's Lethal New Theme Park

http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/113079/kids_learn_that_killing_is_fun_at_the_army%27s_lethal_new_theme_park_/

No, killing isn’t cool or fun. It is a part of life for those who are called to serve in this capacity. It isn’t to be taken lightly or abused. But many of our servicemen/women and civilian youth are being conditioned to accept this type of barbaric behavior as trendy. We are truly living in a warped society.

9. Teen Arrested After Passing Gas at School

At best, this was just disgusting. But because he was rude for not excusing himself from the class before he passed gas, he probably should have been reprimanded. But arrested? The cop who arrested him needs to be suspended without pay.

10. Elf, Grinch Ticket Red-Light Runners

http://www.clickorlando.com/news/18235930/detail.html

This is cool. Huh? No, this is not cool. But this is nothing new. Governments throughout history have trained the public to be spies on each other for the Government; instead of the people watching out for each other against real criminals. But most people will say that I am paranoid, but if they were in Nazi Germany observing the exact same thing happening, they would have a different opinion on the matter.

11. U.S. Troops May Be Deployed In Arizona

http://www.roguegovernment.com/news.php?id=13113

Why are US troops being deployed domestically? The Government must be expecting something serious to happen.

12. Top 25 Censored Stories for 2009

Keep moving, folks. Nothing to see here!!!!!

13. Mexico’s Calderon Says Beheadings Signal Cartels’ Desperation

Mexican President Felipe Calderon hailed eight soldiers who were decapitated in Guerrero state as heroes who died at the hands of criminals growing increasingly desperate amid his government’s crackdown on drug cartels.

Actually, Calderon and the Mexican military are being played by the drug cartel.

14. CBS: KBR knowingly exposed troops to toxic dust

A CBS News investigation has obtained evidence that a subsidiary of Halliburton, the giant energy company formerly headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, knowingly exposed United States soldiers to toxic materials in Iraq.

You mean the company that gets the “no bid contracts?”

15. FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool

The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

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!!!!!!

Doing Right in the Midst of Wrong: Obeying God Rather than Man

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. —Acts 5:25-27

Chaos occurs when there is the absence of order. Order is established by implementing the timeless principles of God’s Word to a situation. Kingdoms have come and gone. But the Word of God shall remain forever (Matthew 5:18). How can we institute the inerrant truths of the Word of God to the governance of our societies in order to produce the types of results that would produce the results that the Bible promises? Do we pick and choose the laws we want to use? How should we respond? This leads us to the age old question: What do we do if the laws of the land are contrary to the Word of God? How do we reconcile this situation? There is a very simple answer to this, but it will take courage and integrity to sort it all out and implement the changes necessary to transition our society to a more freedom-based and Biblical standard.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.-- 1 Corinthians 11:1

We are never to forget that we must obey those that are in authority over us, i.e., parents, teachers, police officers, community leaders, etc (Hebrews 13:17). However, it is important to note that the authority that they have been given to rule over us ultimately comes from God. Do we ever have the right to circumvent that line of authority if those that rule over us abuse their God-given authority? The above-mentioned Scripture gives us a clear answer: we are only obligated to follow Christ; so those leaders that are following Christ can expect those that he/she is leading to follow him/her.

I had some discussions with some people recently and I questioned them about some historical people and events. There have been people in history that broke the law of the land, but these people were catalysts for positive change, and were fighting for a morally good cause. The question is: Were these people wrong for what they did, since they broke the law of the land? The following is a small list of people and events to which I was referring:

• Slavery was legal in the USA. But was Harriett Tubman wrong for freeing the slaves via the Underground Railroad?

• God is a God of love and compassion. Was Jesus wrong for whipping the moneychangers and throwing them out of the Temple?
• God's people are supposed to obey civil authority. Were the three Hebrew boys wrong for disobeying the King and not worshipping the idol?
• It was against the law to speak out against the king. Was John the Baptist wrong for publicly declaring that Herod shouldn’t be involved in immoral sexual acts?
• It was once illegal for an African-American person to sit in the front seat of a public bus. Was Rosa Parks wrong for refusing to move to the back of the bus?
• It was against the law for anyone to disobey the laws of the British king. Were the Colonists wrong for fighting back against the British Crown in order to win their independence?
• Jesus broke the law by healing someone on the Sabbath. Was Jesus wrong?
• The Nazis were exterminating millions of Jewish people. Should the German people have obeyed the Nazis and turned in the Jewish people to the Nazi regime?
• Were the Jews wrong for not telling King Herod where the baby Jesus lived?
• Finding answers in science is a good thing. But should we let the Government do whatever it wants? Were the Willowbrook State School and the Tuskegee experiments moral?
• If unjust laws exist, should we exercise or surrender our right to protest/petition our government for a redress of our grievances?

Abe Lincoln declared “government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” The US Declaration of Independence states: whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. See, it is up to us (the common citizens)! We can’t just rollover, play dead and accept whatever is given to us. The Law of God has been established, and if our elected officials don’t want to line up with the true principles of Law, then the Declaration of Independence has given us the recourse to abolish and re-establish Government as we see fit. The Laws of God trump all laws of man.

As I stated in the opening portion of this writing, we ARE NOT obligated to follow unlawful laws. Unlawful laws are in effective, not even laws at all. They must not be allowed to be implemented as law, and any unlawful law on the books-SHAME ON US!!!!! Again, we are only obligated to follow laws that come from God and in line with what He has already said. It doesn’t matter who the authority is, we are only obligated to follow God’s Word/Authority. There might be some natural consequences to bear for not obeying man’s laws, i.e., jail time or death. But we (as a nation of people) have let things gone too far the wrong way, and it’s time for things to be corrected. We need to stand up and stop pretending that we are accomplishing the Will of God. Today, when someone stands up for the truth, that person was either ostracized or looked upon as some strange voice in the land. Well, a voice that stands for truth was commonplace when this nation was established. Over time, however, we have slowly let the moral fiber of this nation erode under the guise of tolerance and social acceptance. What a cop out! We are not called to compromise our faith, convictions and standards; we are called to be the standard bearers.

People who blindly obey are like sheep being led to the slaughter. We should be obedient and honor God’s Word (which is a good thing). But we honor the authority set above us, by doing so in line with the Word of God. What many people don’t realize is that authority is not a Carte Blanche blanket privilege to invade my privacy and be a dictator in our personal life. A pastor has authority over the congregation at the church; the police have authority to enforce the civil laws if people break them; parents have authority over their children until they are adults; teachers have authority over their students at school, and that’s as far as it should go. We are sovereign individuals, but if we don’t know that, then we must take what those who rule over us give us. Folks, please don't be reactive to tyranny, be proactive to liberty. Live well!

Headlines for the week ending June 28, 2008

1. Mandatory In-Car Breathalyzers Coming?

Leaked confidential NIST documents concerning the investigation into the collapse of WTC 7, the 47-storey skyscraper that was not hit by a plane but imploded in under seven seconds on 9/11, reveal that an "unusual" event preceded the collapse of the building - a "jet of flames" that shot out of several windows after most of the fire had already died down.

8. 'Agents Provocateurs' caught in the UK

Governments have been caught time and time again using agent provocateurs. This is nothing new, just another example of Governments getting caught and back peddling.

9. NJ Salutatorian has critical speech cut off

Maybe a graduation speech wasn’t the right place to complain, but you got to give the kid credit for not being a wimp and speaking up for what she thought was right.

10. Mexican Army Members Busted for Home Invasion and Murder

Police reports show that three men arrested in a Phoenix home invasion and homicide Monday may have been active members of the Mexican Army.

11. Government Permission Required For Parents To Kiss Children

A quarter of the entire adult population of the United Kingdom will be mandated to pass a state check operated by a newly formed government agency to have any physical contact with children under the age of 16 in public - including their own kids.

12. Five Myths About the New Wiretapping Law

Perhaps most controversially, the bill effectively pardons the telecom giants that assisted the Bush administration in the warrantless wiretapping program. They will now be shielded from dozens of civil lawsuits brought against them after their involvement was exposed. House Democrats insist that the telecoms are not automatically getting off the hook. Instead, the companies must go before a federal judge. But here's the catch: For the suits against them to be "promptly dismissed," they must demonstrate to the judge not that what they did was legal but only that the White House told them to do it.

13. Oil's rise is mainly dollar's devaluation, OPEC chief says

And all the while I thought that it was the big bad commodity speculators. FYI folks, the commodities are denominated in DOLLARS, which have been devalued. Welcome to economics 101!!!!!

14. Oceans clearing greenhouse gases faster than expected

Oceans clearing greenhouse gases faster than expected...someone needs to contact Al Gore and tell him that science still works. Can we get a return on that Nobel Peace Prize, if necessary, Al?

15. San Francisco to vote on George W Bush sewage works

San Francisco is to hold a vote on whether to rename one of its largest sewage treatment facilities after George W. Bush, in what supporters describe as "a fitting monument to the President's work". Call me crazy, but I’m not sure that I would like a sewage system named after me.

16. City Pension Funds Lose Billions

Taxpayers could be on the hook, AGAIN!!!! When will you learn?

17. Gun Control for Dummies
    

The FACT of the matter is that the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution states quite clearly that "the Right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It's also a FACT that the Supreme Court has already stated in their decision Miranda v Arizona: "Where rights (liberty) secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no legislation which would abrogate (abolish) them."

In Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105: "No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefore."

In Sherer v. Cullen, 481 F 946 "There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of constitutional rights."

In Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham Alabama, 373 US 262: "If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity."

With the ruling that the Second Amendment does convey an INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms, prior Supreme Court Rulings make it clear that gun registration and indeed even limits to the kinds of weapons the individual may choose to keep are unconstitutional.

18. The meaning of the phrase "well-regulated" in the 2nd amendment

The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.

19. American 'Meltdown' is the Reason for the Money Injection by Fortis

Fortis expects a complete breakdown of the American financial markets within days or weeks. This explains, according to the bank insurer, the series of interventions on Thursday with the aim of strengthening themselves by € 8 billion. "We are ready at the last moment. The U.S. is doing much worse than we had thought," said Fortis chairman Maurice Lippens, who insists that CEO Votron shall not be replaced. Fortis expects bankruptcies of 6,000 U.S. banks that have low coverage. "But the same goes also for Citigroup and General Motors, and thereby starts a complete meltdown in the U.S."

20. HUGE CREDIT CARD CRISIS NEXT FOR AMERICA

People are using their credit cards to pay for gas and even their mortgages, just trying to hang on until the HIGH-PAYING jobs come back. But the jobs are NEVER COMING BACK. Bush actually gave huge tax credits to corporations to make it easier for them to offshore manufacturing jobs.

21. Department of Defensee Announces Force Adjustments
    

This doesn’t look like we’re going to be leaving Iraq anytime soon.

Headlines for the Week Ending June 14, 2008

1. YouTube - Syndicated Radio host Michael Reagan, adopted son of former president Ronald Reagan, publicly calls for 9/11 Truth Activist Mark Dice to be murdered.

Michael Reagan: "We ought to find the people who are doing this, take them out and shoot them. Really. You take them out, they are traitors to this country, and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. You shoot them. You call them traitors, that's what they are, and you shoot them dead. I'll pay for the bullets."

Folks, even if you don’t agree with someone’s view or resounding questioning of an event, this is still no excuse to publicly call for the murder of people. Michael Reagan is the son of a former US President so he may just get a slap on the wrist, if that. But if you or I were to say such incendiary remarks, we just might get a visit from a pack of stormtroopers with black ski masks.

2. Nicolas Sarkozy plans to bypass Irish no vote

Diplomats and officials have no intention of letting the Irish no vote sink a blueprint to boost the EU's powers on the international stage and to create a President of Europe. Gordon Brown has already phoned Paris to promise Mr Sarkozy that Britain will ignore Ireland to continue parliamentary ratification of the EU Treaty.

This is just another example of the will of the people being thwarted. But if people continue to vote for the establishment’s racehorses, then you can expect to get the same pay off in the end. America, get a good look at how you are getting treated by this European example.

3. The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery?

Human rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million - mostly Black and Hispanic - are working for various industries for peanuts.

This is a follow up to an article from a week ago. But the same system that many laud as a savior is showing signs of a tyrannical system of control and abuse. We, the people, are to blame; and until the people rise up, stop rationalizing everything and demand substantive change, the status quo will always prevail.

4. A New Kind of Wage Slave

So when you call directory assistance using, say, Excel Telecommunications, chances are good your inquiry might be answered by a federal prisoner. At Carswell, a fifth of the prison workforce -- most from the camp but a few from the hospital as well -- get to sit in cubicles in an air-conditioned building, start at almost double the pay of the regular prison jobs, and, if they behave and don't make mistakes, get regular raises until they reach the maximum pay of -- hold onto your hat -- $1.45 an hour. Of course, they have to work seven and a half years to reach that maximum. And since this center hasn't been open long enough for anyone to make the maximum, the highest pay at Carswell is $1.15 an hour.

Could this be the reason for such a large prison population explosion?

5. ISRAELI ARMY NOW DICTATES WHO ONE CAN MARRY

When I read the following I had flashbacks to a time in the USA when certain states had it written into law forbidding a white person from cohabiting with a black person.... the same was true under the apartheid regime in South Africa.

When will people stop being slaves? When will our law enforcement realize that they are being played like a marionette dancing on a string. Just doing your job, huh?

6. German Papers Say 'Many Have Lost Faith in America' Because of Bush

With George W. Bush visiting Germany and other parts of Europe this week, German newspapers have been slamming the U.S. president in language stronger than most American dailies use.

If an American citizen with a lot of influence said this, he/she would have been considered a traitor by the bleeding heart establishment shills and the sheeple.

7. Secretary General of Iraqi Scientists and Intellectuals Arrested

The officials said that one of the so-called Muthanna Brigade units in the Abu Ghraib arrested Sheikh Ahmad during his return from Baghdad to the city without reference to any reasons behind the arrest. The source said that a delegation of notables and the people of Fallujah will go to the brigade headquarters to know the reasons for arrest and mediating for his release. It is noteworthy that the arrest of Secretary General came one day after the Congress held by "the group of Iraqi scientists and intellectuals" against the American Treaty.

I’m wondering if this man was arrested because he was giving sensitive information to our enemies. If this is the case, then shouldn’t Bill Clinton and George Bush both be arrested for giving sensitive information to the North Koreans and to the Chinese. Never mind the man behind the curtain!

8. Iraq war could cost taxpayers $2.7 trillion

In addition to the cost of war, taxpayers pay for rising veteran health care costs, and returning soldiers faced with foreclosure and unemployment.

Now, anyone want to explain why the American people should fork over that $2.7 trillion for a war started with lies? Well, they say it’s broken now, and we have to fix it. The American people didn’t break it; so let the bankers who funded this fiasco pay for it.

9. U.S. Ranks Dead Last Among 19 Nations in Preventive Medicine

The United States ranks worst among developed nations in the number of preventable deaths, according to a study conducted by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and published in the journal Health Affairs.

Are we to think that the Pharmaceutical companies, their lobbyists and all of their “cure-alls” are partly to blame for all of this? What about changing our diet, exercise regimen, and unhealthy practices, etc? Responsibility and education are key, but so many people are lazy and spoon fed their “news” from unreliable sources, no wonder this nation is in this sad state of affairs.

10. Security scans will show sex organs

Security scanners that can see through passenger’s clothing and reveal details such as their sex organs, colostomy bags and breast size, are being installed in 10 U.S. airports.

Security is fine, but the good people of this country are doing virtually nothing and letting our government use the threat of terrorism to take away personal liberties: a right to privacy.

11. Teen Challenge: Your tax dollars, paying for institutionalised abuse

Abu Ghraib and Gitmo aren't the only abusive facilities getting tax dollars--both by direct funding and by welfare fraud, Teen Challenge gets quite a bit of your tax money for institutionalized abuse...and Bush is still bailing them out when they're caught doing something wrong.

Like I have always said, when anyone is outside of their authoritative job description, a mess or chaos always results.

12. Bush warns of pay cuts for troops

President Bush on Saturday pressed Congress to approve billions of dollars more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, warning that failure to quickly act could lead to mass layoffs at the Pentagon and an inability to pay the salaries of troops in combat.

How can this President even have those words come out of his mouth after the lie he and his administration told is what got the troops over there in the first place? If I was him, I wouldn't threaten to cut the troops salaries, I'd threaten to cut my own, my entire cabinet's salaries and perks, the judicial branch of Government and all of the pork barrel bills that our Government funds. How's that for leadership?

13. Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles

Kucinich presents Bush impeachment articles.

Too little too late, Dennis. Pelosi is compromised and like I told many democrats before the republicans lost control of the House, Pelosi and the gang can accurately be depicted as the “new boss, same as the old boss.” Nothing will change, and it hasn’t. Feel better now?

14. Central bank body warns of Great Depression

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the organization that fosters cooperation between central banks, has warned that the credit crisis could lead world economies into a crash on a scale not seen since the 1930s.

What we have to remember about economics is that these types of things are cyclical and planned. It isn’t necessarily about poor people and a tanking economy; it’s about a transfer of wealth from those who don’t know the rules, to those who make the rules. Remember that! Those people who are losing their homes and their jobs don’t know the rules. The banks are being bailed, bought out, and the “higher ups” are still getting their lucrative financial payoffs. The average Joe is paying $4.00 per gallon at the pumps, inflation is going higher, and American jobs are continually being outsourced. Think about it, folks.

15. Vegan girl, 12, 'has spine of 80-year-old'

A girl brought up by her parents on a strict vegan diet has been admitted to hospital with a degenerative bone condition said to have left her with the spine of an 80-year-old.

Jesus wasn’t a vegan, the Children of Israel under the Law of God weren’t vegans, science doesn’t support a vegan lifestyle, and there is no New Testament mandate to support a vegan lifestyle. Bring on the meat!

16. Man Who Fell Off Couch Laughing at TV Show Ends Up Pepper Sprayed, Arrested

Here we go again. Cops are just doing their jobs, as usual.

17. FEMA gives away $85 million of supplies for Katrina victims

FEMA gave away about $85 million in household goods meant for Hurricane Katrina victims, a CNN investigation has found. The material, from basic kitchen goods to sleeping necessities, sat in warehouses for two years before the Federal Emergency Management Agency's giveaway to federal and state agencies this year.

YOU voted for this administration America, and YOU got ‘em.

18. Was polygamy the only issue with the FDLS?

19. EMINENT DOMAIN: GOVERNMENT STEALING FAMILY FARM
