Glenn Beck's heart-stopping housing chart - Must See

Glenn Beck covers the housing/mortgage crisis, and explains how the government is misleading us.

Remember, the prices for housing on the chart are adjusted for inflation, so it is as accurate as possible.

I heard a very short, easy to understand explanation on the "Budget".

Simply put, you make 50,000 a year. You budget and plan to only spend 30,000.

Instead, you actually spend 40,000, leaving you with a 10,000 "deficit".

In simple terms, they are misleading the people about almost everything money related.

Sergeant Matthew Michael Edwards joins Military Action

Defend Our Freedoms Foundation

NOTE: Military Action now has 93 Plaintiffs including 8 Active and a large number of Active Reserves

DATE:27 Feb 2009

Attn. Orly Taitz, Esq.
26302 La Paz, Ste. 211
Mission Viejo, CA 92691

I agree to be a plaintiff in the legal action to be filed by Orly Taitz, Esq. in a PETITION FOR A DECLARATORY JUDGEMENT THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT of the U.S., nor TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the U.S. ARMED FORCES, in that I am or was a sworn member of the U.S. military (subject to recall), and therefore when serving as an active member of the military, I would be unable to follow any orders given by a Constitutionally unqualified Commander In Chief, since by doing so I would be subject to charges of aiding and abetting fraud and committing acts of treason.

TYPED NAME or Signature: Matthew M. Edwards

FULL NAME: Matthew Michael Edwards

POSITION IN THE MILITARY/RANK/DATES
SERVED/STATUS: I am an E-5 (Sergeant) in the Army Guard in Wyoming and an Army ROTC cadet at the University of Wyoming.

OCCUPATION: Student/Cadet

ACHIEVEMENTS:
It must be understood, that though the enlisted oath statesthat we as enlisted members will obey the President of the United States it first states that we will support and defend the constitution. Any enlisted member of the United States Military understands the rank structure. An order from an officer that is a lieutenant can be disregarded in light of an order from an officer of higher rank. In this case the oath of enlistment contains the rank structure all enlisted members are to adhere to. We swear first to support and defend the constitution. Then obey the orders of the president and then the officers above us. The constitution is the supreme law of the land and as such out ranks the president.

In our business it is no longer tolerable or defendable in court to say “I was just following orders.” As soldiers we have a duty, and are expected, to disregard “un-lawful” orders. This is why I have chosen this course of action. I swore to support and defend the constitution. I will uphold my oath.

Until Mr. Obama proves he is constitutionally eligible to be the President of the United States I cannot and will not act as if he is. To do so would be un-constitutional. I will not violate my oath of service to my country. I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

My take on the State of the Union Address



Pogo stick Pelosi!

Next time, grab a bottle and a shot glass, and for each time she stands and claps, you have to take a shot. See how far you can make it through the speech before you pass out!

BECK for February 25, 2009
Glenn Beck

Walter Zimmermann, he is the vice president of United I-CAP. It's a financial data and analysis company. You are just a company that just takes data points, right? You just look at all of the different things that are out there, and you just have the picture based on data points.

WALTER ZIMMERMANN, UNITED I-CAP VICE PRESIDENT: Yes. Our responsibility is to give the correct advice, to tell it like it is, to diagnose the problem, and give our clients strategic trading, hedging.

BECK: OK. All right. And you've been saying for three years that we are headed for real trouble.

ZIMMERMANN: Yes.

BECK: You believe that we're not only headed for a depression, do you believe that we're at the doorstep or just walking through it?

ZIMMERMANN: I think we're entering into it right now. And the key is -- the combination of a collapsing equity market, a collapsing real estate market, and a collapsing commodity market. It's extremely rare that those three trends occur together, and the last time they did was the Great Depression.
BECK: OK. Look, I don't want to be a guy who's, you know, all gloom and doom and no hope, because there is hope if we experience the pain.

ZIMMERMANN: Yes.

(Emphasis mine)
___________________________________________________

So lets take a look at exactly what a depression is. You have to have 3 factors in play, all at the same time. How do we stack up?

  • (1.) Loss of GDP. Check
    The GDP Shrank 6.2% in 4th Quarter from 3.8% according to The Wall Street Journal Feb. 27, 2009.


  • (2.) Rising Unemployment. Check
    Every week in February, more than 600,000 people filed new claims for unemployment insurance, and the unemployment rate rose to 7.6% in January, from 7.2% in December. According to the same Wall Street Journal article.
    In the meantime, California's unemployment rate hits the double digits, rising to a stunning 10.1%.


  • (3.) Decrease in world trade. Check
    The U.S. has been hurt by the synchronized nature of the current global downturn. Exports declined at a 24% annual rate, compared with the 20% rate previously reported. Meanwhile, it appears the world's other economies truly fell apart in the fourth quarter. India reported on Friday its fourth-quarter GDP growth was lower than expected, while Japan said last week its GDP had contracted more than 12%. Growth in both Europe and the U.K. fell at an identical 5.9% annual rate. These numbers mean the U.S. can't lean on its trading partners to buy goods and help buoy business activity. Again, from the same article.



  • Again, Walter Zimmerman's quote, "And the key is -- the combination of a collapsing equity market, a collapsing real estate market, and a collapsing commodity market."

    1. collapsing equity market
    2. collapsing real estate market
    3. collapsing commodity market

    Check, check, annnnnd check.

    How consumers are changing their spending habits, according a Charlotte Observer reporter, Peter St. Onge in his blog.

    This article also has more information on consumer spending changes. They call it "insourcing", or doing things for yourself that you used to pay others to do.
    From the article:
    -Sewing kit sales are now up 30 percent
    -Sales of its popular fabric adhesive Liquid Stitch, which costs $2.93, have skyrocketed more than 50 percent.
    -sales of herb gardens and tomato and pepper seeds are up, an indication that shoppers are trying to save money by growing their own food
    -sales of oil, filters, grease and funnels have also risen as more people opt to be their own mechanic
    -A report by SBI, a market research firm, shows revenue for landscaping firms fell 7 percent during the past year

    Depending on how worried you are, you should at least get some basics, and keep some stored.

    Bottled Water
    Dried beans, peas
    Rice
    Sugar
    Salt
    Herbs
    Canned Foods
    Candles
    Vegetable Seeds

    Even if you aren't prone to believing the New New Depression is here, or even coming, these basic items may come of great help during winter storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like. Remember, the recession started somewhere, and so did the first depression. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

    In a worst case scenario, you will be able to face it better if you are prepared. If no worst case happens, what have you lost?

    Do you have things stored? Perhaps some food? Seeds, to grow your own? Things to barter with? Some bottled water? No? Think you may need to start stocking up?

    Don't wait to hear it on the news, by then, it will be too late.

    Major General says president's eligibility needs proof

    'Most important, what I really want is the truth'

    "On the heels of two active duty members of the U.S. military serving in Iraq calling for President Obama to prove his eligibility to be president, a retired major general has agreed to join the case, saying he just wants "the truth."

    WND reported earlier when 1st Lt. Scott Easterling confirmed to California attorney Orly Taitz that he wanted to be a plaintiff in the legal action she is preparing on behalf of members of the U.S. military, both active and retired. A second soldier who asked that his name be withheld for now became part of the action just a day later.

    Now retired Maj. Gen. Carroll D. Childers has submitted a statement to Taitz and her DefendOurFreedoms.us website, agreeing to be a plaintiff in her pending action.

    "I agree to be a plaintiff in the legal action to be filed by Orly Taitz, Esq. in a petition for a declaratory judgement (sic) that Barack Hussein Obama is not qualified to be president of the U.S., nor to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, in that I am or was a sworn member of the U.S. military (subject to recall)," he wrote."
    ____________________________________________________________

    World Net Daily has done an excellent job maintaining focus on a topic no other media is following on a consistent basis. I give lots of credit to WND for this.

    The most frequent response I get from people is, "How come I don't see this on the news?" Lol.. Seriously. I cannot help but LOL, shake my head, and quietly depart from the scene.

    It just hardly seems worth the effort or the breath anymore. You can talk, explain, prove, show links to reasonable lay outs and discussions.. till you are blue in the face, but if they choose to continue sipping the koolaid, there is simply nothing you can do.

    Some people get well.. angry. After all the Bush bashing for the past 8 years, and the civility the republicans tried to maintain, the same can hardly be said for the Democrats. Hardly.

    It will not until Obama's balls are to the wall that you will hear more than a begrudging, foul-mouthed comment from any mainstream media. "Slobbering Love Afair*" indeed.

    More and more people are becoming vocal, and this is on the heels of at least 9 representatives from several states, several soldiers, and other military personnel all proclaiming the same thing, "Show us the Birth Certificate, Obama!" and joining the lawsuit from California.

    And no, they don't mean the obviously tampered with one with the number blocked out, but the one with the Dr's name, baby's weight, that cute little footprint.. you know, the REAL birth cert!

    The second most common thing people say is, "They have thrown all those other cases out!" No, wrong, bzzt, thanks for playing. The other cases were never even seen on their merits, they were DISMISSED for lack of standing.

    So basically, before they even cracked open the papers and read the story, they dismissed it. Did you know that probably no one in this country has standing to bring a lawsuit against a usurper in the Whitehouse? Except perhaps McCain, and well, we all know THAT won't happen. Why? Because he wasn't legal EITHER! Funny how they asked for his birth cert, then passed a ruling making it A OK for him to run!

    Oh, and the third guy on the ticket? (Yes, there was a third guy) heh.. he had a green card. Yes, I said.. a Green Card. Roger Calero was supposed to have been removed from the ballot, but they didn't have time and money to replace the ballots before the election. He got 10,000 votes. From the Socialist's Workers Party. He was born 1969 in Nicaragua. Here is a little info on him, in case you didn't know.

    So, essentially, all of the candidates running for president were not "Natural Born" as required by the Constitution. Imagine that.

    Time will tell, but it seems "it ain't over till it's over!"

    Care to join me for a tea party?

    It doesn't matter what kind of tea, but it is B.Y.O.T. bags! Yes, reminiscent of the Boston Tea party, protesters in nearly 40 states held protests against big government spending.

    Friday February 27, 2009 may well go down as "The New New Beginning" (kind of like Obama's New New Deal?), because so many simply "Don't want to take it anymore".

    From peaceful protests, leads a path to civil unrest, perhaps even more.

    Roberts: Resistance to 'Stimulus' Bill 'Irresponsible,' Stephanopoulos Pushes Bank Nationalization
    By Brent Baker (Bio | Archive)
    February 16, 2009 - 00:50 ET

    "ABC's Cokie Roberts denounced as “irresponsible” conservative opposition to the “stimulus” bill and suggested those who voted against it should be punished, declaring on Sunday's This Week: “I just think that when you're in a situation like this, to do nothing is so irresponsible that you can't, you can't get away with it.”
    ___________________________________________________________

    Really? What kind of name is Cokie? Perhaps it's a clue.

    Ok, wait a minute. Our House and Senate are there to VOTE. That means they make decisions both based on their opinions, research, and findings, as well as the public opinion for which they stand for. You know, appointed BY the people, FOR the people? Have you not heard? A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE THE BILL!

    By this one statement alone, she is insinuating punuishment is due for not going "along" with the vote? I guess you didn't "give" enough to buy off any more of the repubicans. Even Obama said, "Everyone will have to give a little.." or does this only apply to everyone NOT a democrat?

    PUNISHMENT?! Are you out of your mind or just high on the koolaid? "In a situation like this.."?! The bulk of the money in the porkulus bill won't even hit the deck until 2010 when the re-election campaigners need their funding (payoff)! Most people won't even be affected by it, except when their taxes go up to cover the loss of 1 billion tax dollars plus per year caused by capping the salaries on the CEO's!

    I don't know which one of us has lost our minds at this point, but I seriously do suspect it is Cokie Roberts.

    If anyone needs to be punished, it's those in the government that think they have the right to enslave the American public. Chew on that Cokie.

    'World duped by Hamas death count'

    Feb 15, 2009 23:46 | Updated Feb 16, 2009 12:53
    By YAAKOV KATZ

    "Four weeks after the cessation of Operation Cast Lead, the IDF finally opened its dossier on Palestinian fatalities on Sunday for the first time, and presented to The Jerusalem Post an overview utterly at odds with the Palestinian figures that have hitherto formed the basis for assessing the conflict.

    While the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, whose death toll figures have been widely cited, reports that 895 Gaza civilians were killed in the fighting, amounting to more than two-thirds of all fatalities, the IDF figures shown to the Post on Sunday put the civilian death toll at no higher than a third of the total."
    ________________________________________________

    The mainstream media, once again, is not publishing on this. Someone needs to.

    Please read the article, there is lots of informaton there you won't hear or read in the U.S. that reveals just how much our media is supporting Hamas, as opposed to Israel.

    Please, spread the truth.

    Obama administration no longer issuing denials on Fairness Doctrine

    posted at 12:00 pm on February 15, 2009 by Ed Morrissey (click title to read the full article)




    Remember when the Left laughed at conservatives’ concerns over the Fairness Doctrine? Barack Obama already said he opposed the reimposition of the FCC rule, they said. After all, Obama’s campaign gave this definitive statement in June 2008:

    “Senator Obama does not support re-imposing the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters,” said press secretary Michael Ortiz in an e-mail to B&C late Wednesday.
    “He considers this debate to be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible,” said Ortiz.


    _______________________________________________________
    California AG on Media: 'A Little State Control Wouldn't Hurt Anybody'
    This Time it's Bill Clinton Wanting to Bring Back the Fairness Doctrine
    Politico: Sen. Stabenow Wants Hearings On Radio 'Accountability'; Talks Fairness Doctrine

    I think the lefties doth protesteth too much about the talk of fears over the Fairness Doctrine coming back. Yep, nothing to see here, move along.

    Once again, more HopeNChange? We hope we win so we can change our minds about everything we said during the election? More of lying to get what they want then manipulating the system and the people to eventually display their *real* intentions.

    Are all the talking heads just the cover for Obama to throw up his hands and proclaim, "I didn't do anything!", while he quietly slips some porkulus money to the FCC for "jobs"? (Interpreted as stimulating the FCC to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine?)

    On nearly every major issue that was discussed during the campaign, the same tactic is followed. Yes we did say that during the campaign, BUT... or simply flat out avoiding the topic or questions as is done in this video.

    The thing about Obama is, he never takes direct responsibility for anything he has done so far except stabbing Bush in the back over his "failed" policies which have led to a degree of backlash, such as Gitmo. Everything else, he has appointed people to do the dirty work, so as to distance himself from the blame if something were to go wrong. He can blame Pelosi for the stimulus bill, who will blame the republicans, and so on. He is transparent, that's for certain, if you are watching him for what he is doing, and not what he is spewing.

    With the porkulus bill, it was much of the same, except by way of the 3 supporting republicans, they were able to call it "bipartisan", which people outright know is a lie. It was 3 republicans who were, for all intense and purposes, paid for their vote. Only, when things blow up, they can say, "It was bipartisan! Republicans were to blame!' just as they have done by blaming Bush for the financial crisis during a Democrat controlled congress with Bawney Fwankth, who failed to support their president and others when they asked for - and were denied support.

    The onslaught of things being done so rapidly is causing an effect of confusion. What this is having the effect of, is causing outrage. But, before people have a chance to soak it in and actually have a cohesive response, they zing them with another issue. This is causing the anger to abate and even be forgotten from the first issue, into anger over another, and so on.

    I was taught that when someone faces a life changing scenario that has a major effect on them, they go through 4-5 or so major stages of coping. Shock, denial, anger, and acceptance are the common four stages. At any stage in there you can add depression and/or acceptance, or mourning. Not all people experience all the stages, and some people can experience them all.

    When people are faced with this barrage, instead they go from shock, denial, anger, to shock, denial, anger, never really resolving the issue within themselves. The end result seems to be a numbing effect, which leads to apathy.

    Fantastic psychology to use against the numbers, but some of us have taken the time to think things through and not allow ourselves to become numb. It can have an overwhelming effect at first. Soon, though, you can adapt to this roller coaster of emotions, and settle into a ore rational thought mode.

    The next step, of course, is action.

    Action can take on any number of meanings. For some people, boycotting certain business or news agencies, tax revolts by changing your number of dependents, some refusing to file their taxes, and some are joining various grass roots movements.

    The biggest mistake however, is to neglect the power of the people. They will adapt, they will start to take action, they will not allow themselves to be stepped on for any length of time.

    It only takes a perusal of a few blogs to know, something is in the air, and it could get ugly.

    But who is caring enough to listen?

    P.S. If you think this will have to face a normal vote, I believe you are mistaken. To reinstate this doctrine would take an appointment from the FCC, which I believe they have a board that needs only 3 votes to pass it out of 5. This won't be a house/senate thing like all the democrat loudmouths want you to believe after they tell you Obama already TOLD YOU! Sure, he wouldn't mislead or outright lie, would he?!. "There is no bill to reinstate the fairness doctrine!' You don't need a bill, it was already a law, and all is takes is the FCC to make it so again...

    "Barack Obama’s transition team has tapped former FCC Commissioner Henry Rivera, a longtime proponent of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” to head the team looking for the man or woman who will soon give Democrats a 3-to-2 advantage on the Federal Communications Commission.

    From the article:

    "Inhofe introduced a bill this year to prevent reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine, but he said he has not gotten a single Democrat to co-sponsor it."

    In the end, I don't believe the "Fairness Doctrine" itself will be reinstated. I do believe they will psh through a bill attached to another stimulus or bailout that will be far broader, and encompass not only radio, but television, cable, and interent. Afterall, bloggers have a voice, too.

    Job Patronage System? The porkulus bill is a payoff?


    Clip from the Michael Savage Show



    According to the above clip, the stimulus bill is a cover for what is being described as a literal payoff for the next presidential election, resulting in the destruction of the two party system, freezing out republicans (which has already begun) and assuring the re-election of Obama.

    A large portion of the funds are scheduled to be released just in time for the candidates to begin campaigning of the 2012 election, from 2010-2012. This money is to fund various "jobs" disguised in numerous ways, funding an army of people not dissimilar to ACORN. (ACORN alone got around 4.5 billion in the bill)

    The people in these positions will then be required (paid, bribed,bought) to go out and "get the vote" (steal), with a force (The Obama Militia) alleged to be larger than the United States Army.

    Isn't this already how the Chicago politics works? Just more of the same in the thugocracy.

    Declaration of Sovereignty List - 22 now!
    Secession imminent?




  • Movements that work towards political secession may describe themselves as being autonomy, separatist, independence, self-determination, partition, devolution decentralization, sovereignty, self-governance or decolonization movements instead of, or in addition to, being secession movements.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession#Secession_Theory


  • THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN SECESSIONIST CONVENTION
    November 3-5, 2006, Burlington, Vermont
    http://middleburyinstitute.org/secessionconvention2006.html


  • The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791, and restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states and to the people. It is based on an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.’ The 10th Amendment does not empower Congress to wage war upon those states that secede. Even though that is exactly what happened in 1860, as Jefferson Davis said “A question settled by force of arms remains forever unsettled.”

    Protecting Pennsylvania’s Independence: Reminding the federal government about 10th Amendment restrictions on its power

    Text of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

    “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    The Problem: States Under Seige

    The Answer: Putting Federal Authorities on Notice

    Hold on to your 401(k) and IRA! The government is coming!

    VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: Ever tried to 'actively manage' a 401(k) account?Feb. 08, 2009
    Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal

    "Nobody at the time envisioned the 401(k) as something on which people would rely for their retirement. But in the years that followed, more and more employers began to look for ways to get out of funding the pension and health plans that, up to then, had been regarded as part of the responsible capitalist social contract. ...

    "Nobody bothered to ask employees whether they wanted to swap their pensions for choice or ownership, nor did anybody stop to notice that very few people are suited by background, ability or temperament to actively manage investments."

    _________________________________________________


    Ever since last October or so, when it seemed inevitable to me the election was going to continue unabated aided by in in-the-O'bamatank media, I started warning my friends and families to consider doing something with their 401(k)and IRA retirement accounts.

    Most people listened intently, yet failed to take any actions. Some of the ones I spoke to have rather substantial accounts they are seeing writhing, with the gasping last breaths not dissimilar to a dying fish floundering on the table next to the fish bowl.

    I read some mutterings about the government considering seizing these accounts, and the more I think on it, the more convinced I am that this may be the next gasper in the how the government works.

    With this article, it re-affirms my worries, especially considering the state of the porkulous stimulus gigantimus.

    If you think I am blowing steam, take a gander. The Dims have held hearings over this since *before* the election. Since 2007, in fact. A briefing paper was submitted on how this could be done, and how to pull it off as "necessary" to save the economy.

    The paper was submitted to the hearings, in which the writer participated.

    "On November 20, 2007, Dr. Ghilarducci participated in the Economic Policy Institute's latest "Agenda for Shared Prosperity" event in Washington, DC. At the event, she unveiled a briefing paper, Guaranteed Retirement Accounts, which outlines her vision for combining the best features of traditional defined-benefit pensions and 401(k)-style defined-contribution plans."

    When the government was fretting over losing "billions, even trillions!", a lot of what they were speaking about was *our* money, that we watched disappearing from our 401 and IRA statements.

    As of October, November, and December of 2008, they were talking about how seizing the accounts would net them nearly four trillion easily. Could this be the provocation behind the stimulus?

    The claim is, it costs the government $80 billion a year in unpaid taxes on these accounts. How is it costing the government $80 billion in unpaid taxes, then on the other hand people are saying, "That money in your 401 wasn't really there, it was assumed income based on your earnings at retirement, and only your real dollars were there."

    Huh? Is it digital dollars, or is it really a loss? The real answer comes after retirement as the funds are withdrawn, where they still get taxed. Sure, at a lesser rate, but that's the benefits *earned* by saving in these accounts.

    I call it a percieved loss for the government, as it isn't tangible. They want your accounts, because when they seize them, it becomes tangible nearly $4 trillion payout.

    I say, chase down all the Democrats who forgot to pay their taxes and make them! That ought to even it out some...considering they feel they are above silly things like, oh, I don't know... taxes?

    This statement, alone, under her proposed plan - should chill your blood.

    "Death benefits. Participants who die before retiring can bequeath half their account balances to heirs; those who die after retiring can bequeath half their final account balance minus benefits received."



    You can download the PDF of her plan here.

    After your 401 or IRA is seized, they would open an account for every American, and start it with $500.00. Spread the wealth, remember?

    Every American, even those not working, because, that's only fair, right? The government will then automagically deduct %5 of your pay after tax to go to the account, and meet your deposit with only %3 annually. This is mandatory, too, by the way. Not voluntary like retirement accounts are now.

    Why mandatory? Because they say, "People are not intelligent enough to save on their own, we must do it for them."

    When you die, your family inherits only half the balance, the other half goes into the government coffers.

    Half. Half of *your* money. So anything they give as "interest", is taken back, not to mention part of your *real* income, which was already taxed to hell, because it will be taxed under their plan, not pre-tax, like it is now.

    For instance, if you have a balance of $200,000 in your 401, if you die before you retire, your family gets half. So, $100,000. So you lose $97,000 if you consider their co-pay of %3 as going back to them.

    If you die after you retire, they get less than half, which is still stealing your money because you paid %5, matched to their %3. This is misleading because it is less than half. It is half plus %3. Isn't that kind of a death tax or something?

    So they get half the balance, minus the %3 they put in, *and* a portion of what you paid in. It's a win win for them! That is, after they seize them, they pay you a measly %3 government interest as opposed to up to 6% now.

    So lets see. $200,000 minus %3 off the top at $6,000, then halved.

    Leaves your family $97,000.

    So that would be $103,000 back to the government.

    It's only somewhat beneficial if you die before you retire, where they would get back $100,000 skipping the %3. Your family gets an extra $3,000. Woo. Hoo.

  • There are many sites the poo-poo this concern, but just as many that express what I consider to be a genuine worry.

    Wealth redistribution at it's finest! Not so far fetched after the first weeks of the presidency, is it now?

    The WHY initiative

    This is the formal announcement of a new initiative to hold
    Congress accountable. The Citizen Wells blog, in conjunction
    with Dean Haskins of Restore the Constitutional Republic and
    many other concerned citizens, has begun the process of
    contacting members of Congress to ask them why they believed
    Obama was eligible and why no one challenged him. The American
    public deserves to know the truth. Why did Congress not do
    it’s job?

    Was there a conspiracy?

    Were people afraid of personal attacks?

    Was there fear of riots?

    Did every member believe Obama was eligible?

    If so, why?

    The WHY initiative.

  • The comments after the article are great, too.

  • __________________________________________________________

    This really is the quesiton isn't it? Why. Maybe even How?

    If they keep trying to hold the BC that was posted out as the truth, then explain this PDF file of an affidavit of a former federal document examiner and law enforcement official's testimony on the BC in Hawaii Supreme Court, dated December 4th, 2008.

    Digital internet images, at best, are highly questionable as to the varacity of their accuracy, and would have an extremely difficult time finding it's way into court as admissible evidence.

    Based on the readiness and ability to obtain software that can create and alter documents and images, in and of itself, should be the first consideration in this documents' standing based on presentation alone. This could simply be challenged under the Hearsay Rule.

    In a statement supposedly supported by Obama, The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."

    and:

    “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

    Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
    Factcheck has conveniently made this page unavaiable now by site search... he seems to be admitting guilt.

    Note this says,"As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children."

    "It is amazing how perfectly, precisely, and explicitly what Emmerich de Vattel, wrote in paragraph 212, of book 1, chapter 19, of The Law of Nations entitled CITIZENS AND NATIONS, applies to the Obama FRAUD. Quite clearly and explicitly it defines why Obama, can NOT possibly be qualified to be the President of the United States. Obama MUST be disqualified from the office of President of the United States according to the U. S. Constitution Section 1 Article 2.

    "The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society can not exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as a matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. THE COUNTRY OF THE FATHERS IS THEREFORE THAT OF THE CHILDREN." More here at the Obamafile explaining the differences in Native Born, Natural Born, and Citizen.

    Does this constitutional attorney not understand his own school of study, or was he hoping to pull the wool over peoples' eyes with the hope the ones that mattered would buy into it?

    My vote is the latter.

    There is enough discussion out there that furnishes the evidence by rule of law. There is not, however, the evidence from Obama, which could only be a hold-in-your-hand paper document, fit for presentation to a court of law. Anything else is less than prime, and of questionable origin, and should not be relied upon as verifiable evidence or proof.

    Investigating Obama: Sam Sewell: State Sovereignty Movement

    More states moving into action as they feel the noose tightening. This should indeed become more interesting. At last count I knew of 9, and now seems the number is up to 20. I will dig around for more info as I can on this.

    From the post from Sam Sewell:
    "As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off."

    Spot on, I say.

    Your tax dollars at work

    You know, no one asked me.

    No one asked if I minded that my tax dollars went to murdering innocent lives.

    No one asked me if I minded the blood on my hands.

    No one asked me if it was ok that some dollars from my paycheck went to change some woman's life, for the rest of her life, as she watched her baby pulled from her womb and dropped on the floor.

    But, here we are. You, me, decorated in the blood of the unborne, unable to hide our shame, unable to any longer take a stand for anything we believe in, but to be forced into funding brutal murder against the most innocent.

    God help us all.

    Aw, Mr. Tingly Legs gives Obama advice now

    It wasn't enough he wet himself on camera on several occasions while gulping down massive pitchers of koolaid, now the Messiah's personal news slave, who felt "I want to do everything I can to make this thing work … this new presidency work.", is offering the Obamanation advice.

    Yes, advice that spending almost a billion dollars will crank this country back into gear, start the wheels rolling and the legs tingling! Advice on how to sell us the bill o' goods.

    A billion of almost a trillion? What were we thinking?! Who knew a billion was all it took?

    Silly us. I have this incredible urge to pinch Mr. Tingly's cheek, I am so thrilled.

    We can't, afterall, let him down, now can we?

    Treasury Department goes to school

    The Treasury Department has started some new classes! "Great!", you think, until you find out what *kind*.

    Islamic Financing 101. I am not kidding.

    They are following in the footsteps of the aforebailedout AIG, who also got schooled.

    So exactly what is Islamic Banking? A calmer, more accepted, sneaky way of saying Sharia Compliant Financing, or SCF.

    "So?", you may say, "Maybe some new thinking will help us get out of this mess!"

    Well, if they undertake SCF, they also have to abide by Sharia Law.

    We were warned, weren't we? That our country and finances would be destroyed from within if necessary. Now, you are watching it unfold, one dollar at a time, and none the wiser for it. The second 9-11 is underway, and the Dems are helping it along.

  • Read here
  • "What makes Shariah-Compliant Finance even more dangerous than sub prime is that, in its effort to legitimize and institutionalize Shariah in America, it is advancing a criminal conspiracy whose purpose is the violent overthrow of the United States Constitution and government in favor of Islamic rule. That would make it sedition."

    The class this past Thursday isn't the first time they have done this, either.
  • USA Stop Shariah


  • What a sad, sad time we live in.

    Obama told to "cease and desist", ohmy

    Several states have filed bills declaring their rights to sovereignty. One in particular I found simply.. well, beautiful.

    For instance,

  • zing

  • WHEREAS, Today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and


  • zing

  • WHEREAS, Many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and


  • zing

  • WHEREAS, A number of proposals from previous administrations and some now being considered by the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States;

  • zing

  • That this serve as a Notice and Demand to the federal government to maintain the balance of powers where the Constitution of the United States established it and to cease and desist, effective immediately, any and all mandates that are beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers.

  • zing

  • BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be immediately transmitted to the Honorable Barack Obama, President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of each state's legislature of the United States of America, and each member of Congress from the State of Washington.

    Obama Meltdown in progress, stay tuned!

    The longer the pork package.. er spending bill.. er.. stimulus package *cringe* is delayed, the more harried and panicky your president is becoming.

    For someone who probably hasn't read more than a few pages of this porkulus gigantimus wonderment of an example of a government overstepping it's bounds, he sure has a lot of opinions about how "the package is the right size, it is the right scope, and it has the right priorities to create 3 to 4 million jobs..."

    Yes, the condom packers will keep their jobs! What would we ever do if the layoff reaches the tantamount level that Trojan employees find themselves in the Obama free money lines?

    And heaven help us lest we forget "I won." in the interim of what, several hours since the fantastic fit he threw last night?

    From the article:

  • "Borrowing themes from an address the night before to fellow Democrats on retreat in Williamsburg, Va., Obama reminded lawmakers that voters gave them the White House and control of Congress."


  • But the voters were ignorant, and it's all your fault, because no one really knew what Hope N' Change really meant! Now that they are finding out, they are blowing up the phones, begging you to stop, but, do you hear me now?

  • "They did not choose more of the same in November," Obama said Friday.


  • No, they chose Hope N' Change, which you sure have tried to give us, huh? MORE spending, not less, like you promised. Bigger government when you promised to cut spending and waste.

    If the passage of this sin against America gets delayed a bit longer, Obama may be afraid we will see that things will work themselves out by themselves.

    More on the deepening meltdown.

    In the meantime, while all the Obama Drama is unfolding and creating quite the distraction, other important things are happening that is garnering little, if any Lamestream Media attention.

    Things like, oh, I don't know, states that are reminding The One about their sovereignty? But that's no biggie, right?

    Update: Obama ratchets up the rhetoric on stimulus plan

    Minnesota drama continues, or Franken keeps crying

    Al Franken wants to be a senator *so* bad! He sucks his thumb and stomps his foot in frustration while continuing to beg to seated, even if it is only temporary. That one Obama stimulus vote is that important? You betcha!


    In the meantime, Coleman has *gasp*!found more ballots! Will this sickening joke ever end?

    Hamas "made a mistake"?

    Makes one wonder when they were stealing the goods, who they thought they were stealing from? It's ok to steal, but just not from the UN? Woopsie! We goofed! Sorry!

    After the UN halted aide today, Hamas stated they would return the goods, but it shows just how willing they are to bite the hand that feeds them, even though they claim, it was unwittingly.

    Unwittingly or not, their true colors come through!

    From the AFP article:

    "We have a very clear line which we have communicated to Hamas," said UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness. "They must give all the aid back and give credible assurances that this will not happen again. Until those two things happen, the suspension of imports will continue," he told AFP.

    Alaska preparing for a deep breath from Mother Nature


    For several weeks now, the ground beneath Mount Redoubt, Alaska, has been rockin' and rollin'. What many scientists are calling an imminent eruption may be in the near future.

    Mother Nature is taking a deep breath and reminding us who is really in charge. We are but visitors here on a planet that is constantly changing, reshaping, and cleansing herself.

    On occasion, we get to witness spectacular displays of these reminders, some gentle, and some, not so much.

    Head over to the Alaska Volcano Observatory, and take a look at the web cams and pictures. Simply breathtaking and stirring.

    People aren't so dumb, afterall - much to the chagrin of the media

    According to a new report out from Rasmussen Reports today, more and more people are wising up the hype.. fear mongering.. no wait, rip off - that was called Global Warming.

    Now, it is called "Climate Change", because that way, no matter what the weather brings, hot, cold, mild, no matter; it fits under a convenient umbrella created to instill fear and further weaken the Aemrican and world populous.

    But not all people are sheeple, and sooner or later, more will find a voice. It goes in stages, I think. First the awareness dawns, and they have to delve through the emotions of having been duped, taken advantage of, bent over a barrel.

    They feel ashamed, embarrassed, and then comes the anger. With the anger *will* come action. It's all just a matter of time. Especially when it comes to their wallets.

    With the Hysteria and Crisis Management going on in the Whitehouse at the moment, people are starting to find little room for tolerance of hype and hyperbole. People are demanding the transparency that was promised to them, and will soon be knocking on the Whitehouse door with more and more questions.

    According to the article,


  • only 21% believe the media is presenting an acurate picture



  • 54% think the media is making it worse than it really is



  • Only 13% think the media tries to make it appear better than it really is


  • Really, when has the media made anything besides Obama look better than it really is?

    Be sure to check out the article for more, it's pretty interesting.
