Federal Reserve Notes “Play Money” With Revenue
By Linda Frances Marie
Look at the paper currency you are holding in your wallet, at the center top it reads “Federal Reserve Note” issued by a private bank bookkeeping system that is not backed by The Constitution. On the front of the currency is a black circle on the left side of the $5.00 currency, it reads (United States Federal Reserve System). This is not a treasury because it does not produce or make silver or gold coins, nor does it print money. Check each one of your $1.00 currency bills. There is a circle with a letter in the center to identify the Federal bank of origin. This is to the left of the portrait embedded in a small fine black circle showing the bank of origin within the Federal Reserve System.
Each banking system has a letter A-L, The Federal Reserve Banks of; San Francisco, California (L); Bank of Richmond, Virginia (E); Bank of Atlanta, Georgia (F); Bank of Chicago, Illinois (G); Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (C); Bank of Dallas, Texas (K).” There are twelve Federal Reserve Banks in the United States. A letter and number beneath the left serial number identifies the issuing Federal Reserve Bank. There are 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks and 24 branches located in major cities throughout the United States. The Federal Reserve Banks distribute new currency for the United States Department of Treasury.
When you go to your bank and get cash, ask “Which Federal Reserve Bank is this bank getting its cash from?” Then ask the teller for bills that read at the top center “United States Note” and listen for a response.
Jerome Daly Attorney challenged the courts Federal Reserve Notes as Un-Constitutional. These Federal Reserve Notes are not lawful money within the contemplation of the Constitution of the United States and are null and void. Further, the Notes on their face are not redeemable in Gold or Silver Coin nor is there a fund set aside anywhere for the redemption of said Notes. This creation of money or credit upon the Books of the Banks constitutes the creation of fiat (arbitrary order) money by bookkeeping entry. Ninety per cent or more of the credit never leaves the books of the Banks as the Banks produce no specie as backing. When the Federal Reserve Banks and National Banks acquire United States Bonds and Securities, State Bonds and Securities, State Subdivision Bonds and Securities, mortgages on private Real property and mortgages on private personal property, the said banks create the money and credit upon their books by bookkeeping entry. The first time that the money comes into existence is when they create it on their bank books by bookkeeping entry. The banks create it out of nothing. No substantial fund of gold or silver is back of it, or any fund at all. From 1913 down to date, the Federal Reserve Banks and the National Banks are privately owned. Reference: http://usa-the-republic.com/banks/bank_1.html
You and I have been made to think and believe this system was operated by the United States of America under The Constitution but this was not true, it has grown to be a privately owned international monster. Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve is a block buster on the money system and Alan Greenspan is not happy this documentary is freely educating the public. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-466210540567002553#
All printed American currency will have at the top “United States Note”. The United States is not printing currency. Virtually all of currency notes in use are Federal Reserve Notes. The Federal Reserve orders new currency from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which produces the appropriate denominations and ships them directly to the Federal Reserve Banks. Each note costs about four cents to produce, though the cost varies slightly by denomination. Why? Money printed in United States through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does not carry interest or kick backs to a private Federal Reserve banking systems cartel operations.
These twelve Federal Reserve banks have grown throughout the United States using American’s money as collateral by illegal foreclosures, unexplained loans to failing and risky investments forcing a world wide recession of poverty as they continue to use everyone else’s money to freely loan to foreign countries, bankers, dictators and funding international wars without an audit.
To meet the demands of their customers, banks get cash from Federal Reserve Banks. Most medium- and large-sized banks maintain reserve accounts at one of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, and they pay for the cash they get from the Fed by having those accounts debited. Some smaller banks maintain their required reserves at larger, “correspondent,” banks. The smaller banks get cash through the correspondent banks, which charge a fee for the service. The larger banks get currency from the Fed and pass it on to the smaller banks.
So, you and I pay a high price to borrow money, but wait the banks don’t want to loan us money, because they are being controlled by the Federal Reserve System. Now a new wrinkle has been created. Could the Obama Administration allege to be saving the tax payer money, by presenting an opportunity to transfer America’s wealth to an unknown banking system?
An answer with questions: As part of the Obama Administration’s Campaign to Cut Waste, Vice President Biden and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner announced the U.S. Mint would suspend the production of Presidential dollar coins for circulation. Today, nearly 1.4 billion surplus dollar coins are sitting in Federal Reserve vaults due to lack of demand for the coins. By halting this unnecessary production, the Administration will save taxpayers at least $50 million per year in production and storage costs. The Vice President made today’s announcement at a Cabinet meeting focused on the President’s commitment to cut waste and eliminate misspent dollars across the Federal government. Reference: http://www.treasury.gov/connect/blog/Pages/Reducing-the-Surplus-Dollar-Coin-Inventory-Saving-Taxpayer-Dollars.aspx But as of December 2011, Obama is spending four million dollars of taxpayers money on a seventeen day vacation to Hawaii. Is Obama taking away from the taxpayers account to pay for balancing his over spending vacation accounts?
This is the collateral that supports the American’s currency, removing this is a violation of The Constitution. Where are they going to put all those silver coins that are backing the United States Treasury? Where is the money being shifted to and Where are all these valuable coins going to be stored or hidden?
The Constitution Article 1 Section 10. No State shall enter into Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or any Title of Nobility.
Why, is the Obama Administration and Congress allowing the United States Treasury Mint to print our money, then borrowing our printed money from the Federal Reserve System and then the Federal Reserve charges the United States interest? Adding to this money circle circus the Federal Reserve System takes our money and gives it away to foreign governments and banks making loans, charging the United States with fees and interest creating debt for our country and its future?
The Federal Reserve System are loan sharks, because they are not audited, they don’t have to follow the United States GAAP accounting principles and they are telling local community United States bankers how to loan money and these banks are being closed when they can’t meet the stress test. This is reducing the number of honest banks in each city and state, because they can’t borrow money from the United States Treasury, creating a repeat of history into a bigger recession.
Current and previous administrations along with Congress have failed to keep a budget which has affected every level of the economy, now that the public is waking up the shell game is changing to a newer version of monopoly, an international level of monopoly by changing the accounting system.
In 2014 all companies must convert from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) used for State and Local Governments by convergence to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Why? Answer: To hide the funds, gold, coins, land and property allowing the volumes of local to international money to be moved around without a trace under categories, rules and procedures that lack accounting verification.
GAAP is the most detailed system in the world, auditing every penny so money cannot be hidden in bogus investments, from local to foreign corrupt fraud money buckets. Large Corporations such as Boeing and McDonalds have refused to implement IFRS, because they want to maintain accountability to their investors.
I spoke with a manager of a satellite bank branch which operated within a national retailers store under the umbrella of the New York Federal Reserve I asked if they used GAAP? Answer: NO, it was too detailed and they did not have up-to-date software. The retailer did not renew their lease this branch was attached to the play money without collateral becoming a risk for the retailer’s employees and customers.
To further understand who is behind the destruction of our economy and why it has continued, look at these four high profile males (Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, Timothy Geithner, Lawrence “Larry” Summers) worked their way into back door investments gambling with investor’s funds then were appointed under the Obama Administration economic team of advisers damaging the American economy. Six months later their game in the hedge funds derivatives secret bank investments caused a melt down of the financial markets a documentary aired on (PBS.org Frontline “The Warning”).

European grand parents who suffered through the wars never trusted the banks. They counted every penny and watched how it was invested and spent; now here we are and history is being repeated by civil unrest and dictators. It’s your money you earned it, learn how to keep it and teach your family how to keep what they have.

OCCUPY WALL STREET
AND
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” –James Madison, Federalist No. 10, 1787
“Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” –John Adams, letter to John Taylor, 1814
The group often credited with sparking Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is Adbusters, the Canadian anti-capitalist magazine founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver, British Columbia. This July, Lasn and Schmalz issued a call to flood lower Manhattan with 90,000 protesters. Lasn has been accused of anti-Semitism regarding some of the articles in Adbusters. Link
Kalle Lasn previously called for a protest at the upcoming G20 while demanding a one-percent tax on financial transactions. You can read The Daily Call article on this here: “Occupy Wall Street Demands Global UN Tax and Worldwide G20 Protest.”
They don’t even try to hide their affinity to the UN, they’re taking the UN’s call for the tax to the streets and screaming for its implementation. As one of the founders of Occupy Wall Street, Lasn is also in bed with the power elite Soros crowd, which helps fund his magazine, as reported by Lew Rockwell.
Lawrence Morley writes in Adbusters:
“Revolt, if it is to be successful, must come from the mind; a growing unease and dissatisfaction with things as they are. Revolt may be leaderless, but it cannot be idea-less. … It could be said that any society has vested interests in the status quo which could not be unseated by argument. I disagree. For any revolution to succeed, even those interests must be shown to gain, or to lose less by cooperation than they would otherwise.
I, as a Progressive Anarchist, want the complete overthrow of present societies, but not now, not immediately, not violently, but gradually and peacefully as ideas gradually seep through one’s mind. The intention of this revolutionary is to assault your mind and destroy your beliefs.”
Another writer for Adbusters is Michael Hardt. He is an American literary theorist and post-Marxist philosopher perhaps best known for the book Empire, written with Antonio Negri and published in 2000. It has been called the Communist Manifesto of the 21st century.
For those of you who have studied and understand communism, Morley’s words and Hardt’s writings will ring those bells. Those involved in these protests remind me of the 60s and the Viet Nam protests, albeit, they aren’t as organized, nor are they as intellectual as those from the 60s. When asked questions about what they’d replace the free market with, they have no answers, other than the rich make too much money and they should share with those who are less fortunate. Link (Sounds like Obama’s redistribution plans to me).
The protesters include persons of a variety of political orientations, including liberals, political independents, anarchists, socialists, libertarians, and environmentalists. At the protest’s start, the majority of the demonstrators were young; however, as the protest grew the age of the protesters became more diverse, mostly related to the use of social networks.
The dominant theme is that the U.S. is broke and corporations have ruined it. Now they want to kill the corporate “personhood” and then the US will be good again and then there will be justice and prosperity for all. Dream on!
Celebrity Involvement
The usual left wing celebs who want to be seen as erudite politically, but only know how to mimic the left-wing lines, are gaining publicity with their involvement with the OWS. On September 19, Roseanne Barr, the first celebrity to endorse the protest, spoke to protesters calling for a combination of capitalism and socialism and a system not based on “bloated talk radio hosts and that goddamn Ayn Rand book.” (Uh, excuse me Roseanne, I think you’ve been eating too much sugar. We already have a combination of what little remains of capitalism and a huge new amount of socialism – a nice euphemism for full-fledged communism) .
Conservative activist and John Birch Society member, H.L. Hunt’s granddaughter, Leah Hunt-Hendrix, 28, a doctoral student at Princeton writing her dissertation on the history of solidarity, joined OWS protesters, and said. “We should acknowledge our privilege and claim the responsibilities that come with it.” I believe H.L. understood it far better than his granddaughter.
Filmmaker Michael Moore spoke against Wall Street, saying, “They have tried to take our democracy and turn it into a kleptocracy.” (Michael, we were once a representative republic who followed the “rule of law.” Now we are as you state, a “democracy” which is nothing more than “mob rule.”) Susan Sarandon and Kanye West were also there to add their two-cents worth.
Other celebs include folk singer, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Tao Rodríguez-Seeger, Tom Chapin, David Amram, and Guy Davis. Others who are in support of the OWS according to Wikipedia include the usual suspects, Noam Chomsky, George Soros, and Yoko Ono. Mother Jones Magazine reports the growing number of unions joining in the activist protests.
Karl Denninger, one of the original Tea Party founders believes there are many similarities between OWS and the Tea Party demonstrations since many Tea Partiers have joined in the ranks of the OWS. As we’ve seen with Tea Parties across the nation, many are being led by infiltrating change agents and haven’t a clue of where the real battles lie. This is just another example of the deliberately dumbed down electorate reacting like lemmings and being led by socialist propaganda.
Calling for a Constitutional Convention
The OWS not only is demanding the UN one-percent tax, but they are now also demanding a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of changing the entire social structure of the US. Those of you who read my articles know I’ve written several times about the dangers of a Constitutional Convention. See The Constitutional Convention Con and Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing? for the full ramifications of a Constitutional Convention. Leftist commentator, Cenk Uygur has announced the formation of Wolf-PAC to campaign for a Constitutional Convention. His call to action was featured on a website, Amped Status, run by David DeGraw who is one of the original founders of the OWS movement. Here is a video of Cenk’s dangerous Constitutional Convention announcement.
A Constitutional Convention has been the dream of US leftists for a century or more. Constitution.net tells us that as far back as 1932, the Socialist Party’s platform included proposed changes to the Constitution, and many of these changes seem to parallel what Cenk and others want now. From Constitution.net:
The Socialist Party’s 1932 platform included many proposed changes to the Constitution. One group concerned voting and elections, including popular election of the President and the ability to hold national referenda. Judicial review would be specifically barred. Workers’ rights would be protected and child labor barred; nationalization of industry would also be permitted and promoted. Finally, they advocated an easing of the requirements for ratification of constitutional amendments.
As I’ve stated many times before, a Constitutional Convention is fraught with risks and could easily spin out of control. It would very likely be hijacked by the elitists and then we’d end up with an anti-freedom agenda and a new constitution that would totally destroy the liberties our 1787 Constitution grants us. People…this means the entire Bill of Rights could disappear! Can you just imagine who we’d end up with on a Committee of Detail today, or the delegates from each state? It is the very people we oppose and that includes the phony right-wing like McCain, McConnell, and Boehner, and Snowe and Collins, not to mention Pelosi and Reid, Feinstein, Boxer and Schumer! God help us!
What few people understand is the fact that the right wing is pushing a Constitutional Convention as well and has been for a long time. Their tactics are subtle and disarming with the conservative sounding Balanced Budget Amendment that could easily lead to a Constitutional Convention. There has also been a desire of the leftists to eliminate the Electoral College. In doing so, the smaller states would not have a voice in elections and we’d end up having the president elected by the most leftist populated states. In the 2012 election, Obama would remain president. Link
Today the Vatican called for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the OWS demonstrators and other movements around the world who have used the economic downturn to stage socialistic or progressive protests to push the US and world further down the road to serfdom.
I believe Occupy Wall Street is another Trojan Horse designed to further the aims of the elitists pushing a One World Order. The Con-Con promoters have been at this for decades and it is now coming to the fore again after we fought it off in the 80s. The Tea Party movement and the Occupy Wall Street movement are both expressions of people’s anger and rage over what our elitist politicians in both parties are doing to the American people via the right/left Hegelian Dialectic which provides the elite a way of controlling the masses.
As others have illustrated in numerous articles, there is considerable evidence that Occupy Wall Street is funded by these powerful elements. The great central banking families (and their political, military, religious and financial colleagues and enablers) have been plotting world government for more than a century and they see the US Constitution as an impediment. Leftism suits their purpose.
We need to remove the Fed and central banking and return the country to a competitive monetary system that goes back to gold and silver. We do not need a Constitutional Convention to do this. We do need political and economic pressure on all of our state and local representatives and we need to warn them of the dangers of a Con-Con. Please use my previous articles to do same.
We have two gigantic dangers to the citizens of America. One is a Constitutional Convention which would not only destroy the Constitution we have now, but would give us a totally different country and eliminate our God given unalienable rights. The other is the massive all encompassing UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development that is already in full bloom across America and in nearly every city and town.
These are the two most important subjects we need to tackle today. If there are any good Tea Parties and freedom loving groups who are not infiltrated with change agents and neutralizing RINOs, please join the rest of us freedom-loving patriotic Americans in fighting these forces of evil. As many of my close and dear friends fighting this behemoth say, FIRST WE MUST PRAY and repent for allowing God to be kicked out of America, as well as pleading for His Mercy on our nation. And then, we all need to get to work!

TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY
“If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.” –Candidus Pen name of Samuel Adams during the era of the Sons of Liberty Source: in the Boston Gazette, 1772
Bill Haslam is the Republican Governor of Tennessee. Haslam was elected to office in 2010. He previously served as Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, from 2003 until his resignation in 2011. While he has an “R” behind his name, Haslam is no conservative. This is the story of how he intends to raise taxes on all Americans. The title of this article is “TEA,” for Taxed Enough Already, the same acronym used by the Tea Parties.
First let’s look at this phony right winger who calls himself a Christian Conservative. Haslam was born in Knoxville in 1958 and is the son of Jim Haslam, the founder of Pilot Corporation, the parent company of the convenience store and travel center chain, Pilot Flying J. He ran for Mayor of Knoxville partly because of a conversation he had with fellow RINO Bob Corker who was then mayor of Chattanooga, TN. Corker is now the junior RINO senator of Tennessee and he along with our Senior RINO Senator, Lamar Alexander and our Governor, Bill Haslam, is a big proponent of UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.
In Haslam’s first mayoral race, he defeated Democrat Knox County Commissioner Madeline Rogero by a 52% to 46% margin. In 2006 Haslam appointed Rogero to Director of Community Development in Knoxville supposedly to keep her from running against him in the 2006 race. The prevailing strong rumor is that Rogero convinced Haslam to apply for a government grant (600 American cities have done so) that would award from $4 to $6 million tax dollars to the city to implement Smart Growth (SG) which is a major component of UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. To put it succinctly, Smart Growth is centralization of population within the city limits using only bicycle paths, public transportation, stack-em and pack-em high-rise living, and turning the rest of the formerly occupied rural and suburban areas back to pre-Columbian pristine days. (See Wildlands Project) We are now fighting the implementation of SG in Knoxville and four other surrounding counties under a regional plan called PlanET or Five Counties/One Vision and I and my cohorts are spending a great deal of time educating people about how we will lose our property rights and much more because of SG. Thank you Bill Haslam.
We have attended several of the PlanET forums where the proponents of Smart Growth allegedly solicit community input. However, at each forum we have seen, the facilitators have used the Delphi Technique to achieve the consensus for the desired input. Present at all three of these meetings were architects from Wallace Roberts & Todd, a Florida firm, who travel around the country implementing Smart Growth, probably with the guarantee of getting the contract to build the stack-em and pack-em high-rises in the city.
I was told by one of the top architects that they had just “finished up” Austin, Texas and somewhere in North Carolina. But listen to this statement by David Rouse, of Wallace Roberts & Todd, from a Chattanooga newspaper article in which he stated that he is “committed to an open process, and that property rights won’t be impacted without the public’s consent.” Where is the outrage over this one sentence? Property Rights NEED TO BE PROTECTED! not trampled whether the public consents or not, the constitution says so!
A local Tea Party had been infiltrated with RNC folks who supported Haslam over the more conservative Lt. Governor, Ron Ramsey. They didn’t like the fact that activists within the Tea Party had been at the polls in 2010 and had backed Ramsey rather than Haslam. Those same activists had also helped elect four out of five conservative candidates by their presence at early voting. Sadly, because of the infiltration and neutralization of the local Tea Party, who decided they would become a government 501(c)4 and neither oppose nor endorse candidates, the Tea Party did not have a presence at the early voting polls in the recent city mayoral race. If they had, we may have elected Republican Commissioner Ivan Harmon over extreme leftist and Sustainable Development proponent Democrat Madeline Rogero. Fighting SG and Agenda 21 in Knoxville has now become much more difficult and the proponents of this draconian UN Agenda 21 have become empowered.
Haslam was formerly a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, serve as co-chairs of the coalition, and like the majority of Mayors in the Coalition, they are Democrats. It is an ardently anti-gun organization and the ties this group has to ardent anti-gunners is quite apparent. The group even has ties to the California Microstamping law. Haslam resigned in early 2009 and paid the National Rifle Association $1000.00 for a lifetime membership so he could portray himself to the Tennessee electorate as a pro-Second Amendment Governor. Most opponents of Haslam believe his family money bought the Governorship for him.
One of Haslam’s first acts as governor was to roll back disclosure requirements, so it’s unknown how much he earned from selling his stock in EZ Corp, a Texas-based company that owned two pawnshops in Knoxville. Haslam rolled back disclosure requirements so that he and other officials had to list sources of income but not corresponding dollar figures. That decision has brought criticism from party leaders on both sides of the aisle, who say the result is less transparency for state government. Gov. Bill Haslam’s stake in a multimillion-dollar loan guarantee was sold to a prominent Knoxville developer three days after a report by The Tennessean uncovered the original transaction.
Looks like Bill Haslam’s family, along with a lot of the Tennessee Republican establishment are supporting Mitt Romney. Due to the political ramifications, it is doubtful they would do this without the Governor’s approval which leads one to believe that Governor Haslam is also supporting Mitt Romney. Here are the details regarding the support and the other corporations involved including the Governor’s brother, Jim Haslam. Willard Mitt Romney is one of the worse RINO candidates, running a close second as fellow communist behind Third Wave Fabian Socialist and communist Newt Gingrich. Not much of the Obama doctrine would change with either of these two.
The State of Tennessee joined the Federal TSA in “Security Operations” on Tennessee Interstates and bus stations. According to the Tennessee Report, “The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security on Tuesday partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and several other federal and state agencies for a safety enforcement and awareness operation on Tennessee’s interstates and two metropolitan-area bus stations. The agencies conducted a Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) operation at scale complexes where trucks and large vehicles are weighed. The VIPR operation was also conducted at two regional bus terminals in Nashville and Knoxville. Why would a conservative Christian Governor allow the TN Department of Safety and Homeland Security to bring the TSA into TN and for us to be the “inaugural” state? Obviously along with our constitution shredding federal government, Haslam sees no problem with the state of Tennessee shredding the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
Now to get to the very gist of the reason for this article. What has so infuriated me about this phony Republican governor is the blatant attack on Tennessee’s citizens for more taxation, not to mention the fact that he’s wanting all of America to pay new taxes.
The subject of this article is straight out of the playbooks of what the Tea Parties allegedly are fighting. Unfortunately, my local Tea Party was long ago infiltrated by change agents for the Republican (RINO) party and neutralized to the point of being nothing more than a garden club. As I wrote in Part 4 of my article on the Tea Parties, I had brought up the subject of our governor pushing for an internet sales tax at this local Tea Party and absolutely nothing was done. In fact, I wasn’t given the opportunity to speak to this issue at the local Tea Party for even the 10 minutes I was told I had.
Bill Haslam stated at the beginning of his term that he was going to contact all the other governors and push the federal Congress to pass a bill that would tax all internet sales even when the company purchased from via internet does not have a presence in your state. Internet retailers cannot be compelled to collect sales taxes if they have no physical presence in a state under a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision. Haslam wants to change this and in effect tax all Americans on every state’s sales tax when we purchase goods from a company in another state and there is no presence of that company in our state.
Muddying the waters is the fact that our previous governor had made an agreement with Amazon to bring three shipping hubs to Tennessee, bringing with it approximately 1200 jobs. However, Governor Bredesen did not wish to tax the citizens of Tennessee when Amazon came here, so he had an agreement with Amazon that they could come to Tennessee without having purchases by citizens within the state taxed at our 9.25% rate. Immediately Haslam set out to change this when he became governor and now in two years all citizens of Tennessee will pay 9.25% sales tax when they purchase anything from Amazon. All for a lousy 1200 jobs! So, Haslam has cost us all more in taxes and now he even wants to tax the rest of the American citizens by pushing a NATIONAL INTERNET SALES TAX.
I don’t know how many of you remember what it was like before the internet, but 15 years ago or so tons of catalogues were always coming in the mail. When customers ordered from any of those catalogues where the companies did not have a presence in their state, they did not charge any sales tax. It has always been that way. Yet, here we are with another Republican governor pushing more taxes on the people of Tennessee in an economy that is totally lackluster and stagnant. And not only on Tennessee, but on the entire citizenry of the United States. Talk about killing the economy even more!
To top it all off, Tennessee is headed by a Republican Governor and represented in the U.S. Senate by two Republicans who are pushing this tax along with our governor. Both Senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker are with Governor Haslam on instituting yet another new tax on America’s overburdened citizens via the NATIONAL INTERNET SALES TAX. Of course both of our Senators are moderate RINOs at best, with the senior Senator Alexander being the worst socialist of the two. Is it any wonder we are considered the most corrupt state in the Union?
Conclusion
Where are the Tea Parties? It is Taxed Enough Already they stand for, isn’t it? Why has there been no uproar about this across the state of Tennessee and throughout the country? Why has nothing been done to start a campaign against this new tax (as if we don’t have enough of them already). And yes, I know it’s part of the UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development/Smart Growth plan to tax us all into the poor house and rid the nation of the declining middle class, but come on people….where is the fight? Are you paying attention to what your Governor is doing?
How many times have I said, “A false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy?” And how many times have I written about the phony right wing and all the right wing UN-NGO (United Nations Non Governmental Organizations) groups being in bed with the left? We need numbers of people to write, call, send letters to your newspaper editors and speak about this at your group’s meetings. I beg of you to cry out against this tyranny!
We must be on our knees repenting for allowing our beloved nation to throw God out of the country. We must be on our knees repenting for allowing our country to murder 56 million babies in the wombs of their mothers. Are you pleading for mercy from the Lord God Almighty? Are you working to save our Republic? Are you going to Tea Parties who are nothing more than garden clubs, or are you actively trying to stop the onslaught of communism in our country by attending active groups?
I beg of you to get active and to take information to your pastors, your friends, your neighbors and to speak out because time is short and the satanic moneyed communists never sleep. It took strong men and women, submitting to God’s Word and seeking His blessings, to build and defend America, home of the FREE and the BRAVE. It will take nothing less to keep it.

OBAMA’S WHITE HOUSE LAUNDRY MAT
BY LINDA FRANCES MARIE
Americans are being given a spin cycle each time the Obama teleprompter speaks and points his ring finger where to get quarters to do another load of his soiled laundry. Michelle Obama offers us vending machine soap purchased from Target with a rose garden smell assuming it will hide the truth. Then Obama expects everyone to take out the wet load and put it in the dryer on a fluff cycle were it spins for hours with no heat. In short he wants someone else to take the blame for his fraudulent apparel while he celebrates at the White House Fountain Fund Raisers. If you need to do more washing the Federal Reserve Bank takes your money and gives you only fifty cents on the dollar at the coin wall vending machine. Fifty percent goes to a special interest slush fund for foreign bank loans.
Your laundry left unattended as it works thru the federal wash cycle gives your rights away to TSA search and seizure of your under wear without warrant. Every federal washing machine program that has been presented to the public has been short lived and failed, yet every one of Obama’s Czars continues to give us a new twist on a different spin cycle with the same size tub. Now the White House Laundry Room talking heads are coming out in a panic trying to fix the commercial washing machines and dryers that are out of balance with the White Houses revolving press room dry cycles. This will cost Americans for each repair by raising fees and taxes when they use each federally serviced washing machine and dryer.
Signs cover the depressing walls with political encouragement offering a better way of life; “Yes We Can”, Obama Care, Support the Jobs Act, Put Americans Back to Work in Shovel Ready Jobs, The Transition Has Ended and the New Administration Has Begun, Revitalizing the Economy, Ending the War in Iraq, and the beat goes on, but in fine red print font style Wingdings Three, font size six are government regulations and restrictions holding American’s enslaved with detours.
Two flat screen monitors are set-up on the walls over looking the laundry room for your viewing pleasure so every man, women and child can hear and see all the federal, state, banking, mortgage, foreign and student loan programs, government motors, and foreign green jobs spinning away their hard earned labor in trillions of silver dollars to foreign banks. The unmusical sound of the multi-colored washers and dryers give promises to create shovel ready jobs as American’s are being given verbal over flowing tubs of soap bubbles while Obama shakes hands with foreign god father’s on the red carpet door mat of the White House. So much for a reformed and transparent administration instead of front loading see through washers Obama is using top loading washers made in China with a locking lid during the spin cycle.
A confusing sign above the White House Laundry Mat bathroom door reads Solyndra Funding, One Person Limit per Fire Code. Obama charges a quarter for each flush and extra dollars for Federal toilet paper hand outs; however their is cause for alarm as the green energy Czar head washers are in a panic loosing control creating a sewer line back up and a procession knocking on the door after each flush for their dump turn.
For moments of hope and hunger Obama has provided Food-O-Rama vending machines filled with candy, chips, cookies, peanuts, coffee, hot chocolate and soft drinks, to appease your anger. When putting in your hard earned dollar and entering the item code the package gets stuck, when all attempts have failed to shake it loose you attempt another vending machine for chocolate or coffee, but it pours out minus the recycled cup, you have no recourse, but to look for the Obama laundry room attendant, but to bad they have left for the day and you discover the washing machine spin cycle isn’t working leaving soapy water in your clothes, suddenly the Obama Fund Raiser Community Organizer in Chief Motorcade appears bringing traffic to a stand still. Then you notice a sign everything is on a programmed timer and the Obama White House Laundry Mat closes automatically leaving you in the dark, you realize you have been taken through a dictator vending system sucker wash.
This is a comparison with humor showing how this president has taken America on a down hill cycle offering solutions with fake opportunities to know where. Obama cuts off your pants making them zipper less shorts, then implements an illegal law enforcing you to use a high priced mandatory government tailor for the repair. If this made you laugh you will enjoy reading: Obama’s “Yes We Can” Promises to Dim America’s Future and Destroy our Spirit, By Linda Frances Marie

THE TEA PARTIES
“It is a known fact that the policies of the government today, whether Republican or Democrat are closer to the 1932 platform of the Communist Party than they are to either of their own party platforms in that critical year.”
–Walter Trohan (1903-2003) Chicago Tribune reporter (1929-1972) and bureau chief in Washington, D.C.
The frustration level from attending tea party meetings is so high that I simply have to walk out the door and go home. If I imbibed, I’d have to have a glass of wine to calm my emotions. It is with grief and melancholy that I am writing this article. Nevertheless it is with the urging of several Tea Parties across our nation who want others to know what is happening and to clean their own Parties of the change agent infiltrators. So with deep humility, here is the final product.
At the tea party I have attended the most, there are four very knowledgeable people who know there are major problems we should be focusing on at every meeting. Then there are a number who have just awakened to the problems and are not at all educated on the situation we face, but know they love their country and want to do anything they can to save her. The balance of these people are infiltrators and change agents that continually preach the RNC propaganda that has gotten us where we are today. “Compromise” is what they always propose and in my lexicon that’s a dirty word.
The Origins of Today’s Tea Party
The Tea Party movement got its start when CNBC’s Rick Santelli went on a rant against government efforts to protect Americans from home foreclosures and called for “tea parties” as a means to protest against government intervention in the economy. Despite Tea Party folks making it clear in the beginning they were not part of the RNC, it has not stopped the infiltration by the phony rightwing Republicans.
Grover Norquist
The first nationwide tea parties in February of 2009 were co-sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform, whose president, Grover Norquist is a charter member of the secretive Council for National Policy (CNP). Norquist married a Muslim woman in 2005 and has since converted. Link Allegedly his donations to Muslim charities also fund Al Qaeda. The association of Norquist and Islamists became known in 1998, when he became the founding chairman of an organization called the Islamic Free Market Institute, better known as the Islamic Institute. Norquist is also a lobbyist for Bill Gates’ Microsoft.
American Spectator
The American Spectator was the other sponsor and their then-managing editor organized the rally near the White House, according to promotional materials and participants. The Spectator was originally funded by Richard Mellon Scaife with $25,000 (Chase Mellon Bank – Rockefeller) and Scaife funds both sides of the aisle. He is also a strong Planned Parenthood pro-abort who recently had a full page article in the WSJ stating why we should support Planned Parenthood with our tax dollars. Emmett Tyrrell, the “Alternative’s” founder (later to be the American Spectator) cultivated the rightwing neo-cons to write for the magazine, including Irving Kristol a member of the Young People’s Socialist League in the 1930s, and whose son Bill Kristol also wrote for the Spectator. Nelson Rockefeller directly gave Irving Kristol $100,000 through his Commission on Critical Choices for just 15 short essays. Irving’s son, William Kristol did make it big time of course and is a Fox News contributor and commentator. He is also a member of the Bilderberger group. William Kristol is one of the top three strategists of the GOP. He launched a weekly magazine called the Standard and is backed financially by CFR Rupert Murdock. Kristol is assembling the next generation of socialists on behalf of the NWO. The Kristol’s have plotted for several decades under the disarming word, “neoconservative.”
Richard Mellon Scaife continually funded The Spectator as did the widow of the pharmaceutical magnate Eli Lilly. She sent $3,000 and offered to give much more if the magazine could be set up as a charitable foundation, which would make her contributions tax-deductible. This was done and supplied Tyrrell with enough money to live a stylish life.
Other influential writers and board members of the Spectator included, Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick (Former Director of CFR; Ambassador to UN; Trilateral Commission; Co-Director, Empower America; Board Member, American Spectator); Adrian Karatnycky, President (CFR, Publisher Freedom Review Publisher; Conservative author, American Spectator).
Richard “Dick” Armey and FreedomWorks
Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, which is funded by the Koch family’s oil wealth, also have worked behind the scenes to build the Tea Party movement. Dick Armey is a charter member of the CNP. He is staunchly pro-amnesty, which has cost him some of the tea party allegiance.
In 2003, Armey became co-chairman of Citizens for a Sound Economy, which in 2004 merged with Empower America to become FreedomWorks. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into two new organizations, with Citizens for a Sound Economy being renamed as FreedomWorks, and Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation becoming Americans for Prosperity.
In 2008 Freedomworks Foundation Paid Dick Armey $550,000 even before the Tea Parties Got going in 2009! So the entire program was planned. Looks to me like some pre-planning of tea party propaganda to infuse the angry grassroots Americans, doesn’t it? Here is FreedomWorks 990 for 2008, see page 7.
Empower America was founded in 1993 by high stakes gambler and former Drug Czar and Education Secretary William Bennett, who was involved with the US-Soviet education exchanges and treaties and implementing the Soviet quota system; former Secretary of HUD Jack Kemp (charter CNP member); former UN Ambassador Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick; and former Representative Vin Weber, CNP member and co-director of the globalist Aspen Institute’s Domestic Strategy Group. Link Charlotte Iserbyt exposed Bill Bennett for his purposeful destruction of education since she worked under T. H. Bell in Reagan’s education department. Bennett continued all of Bell’s socialist/communist policies, especially OBE and the Skinner method. Regarding Bennett’s role in U.S./Soviet education agreements, he wasn’t overtly involved, but he, when asked by Malcolm Lawrence about the agreements, responded “I’m not in that loop.”Link
Empower America was largely filled with Council for National Policy members, CFR members, Trilateralist members, as well as Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church members such as Josette Shiner Sheeran, now Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme.
David Koch and Americans for Prosperity
Americans for Prosperity has worked closely with the Tea Party since the movement’s inception. In the weeks before the first Tax Day protests, in April, 2009, Americans for Prosperity hosted a Web site offering supporters “Tea Party Talking Points.” Peggy Venable, State Director for AFP explained that the role of Americans for Prosperity was to help “educate” Tea Party activists on policy details, and to give them “next-step training” after their rallies, so that their political energy could be channeled “more effectively.” And she noted that Americans for Prosperity had provided Tea Party activists with lists of elected officials to target. She said of the Koch’s, “They’re certainly our people. David’s the chairman of our board. I’ve certainly met with them, and I’m very appreciative of what they do.” A Republican campaign consultant who has done research on behalf of Charles and David Koch said of the Tea Party, “The Koch brothers gave the money that founded it.
Tim Phillips is president of AFP for the Koch’s. Phillips was a political veteran who had worked with Council for National Policy member Ralph Reed, the so-called evangelical leader and Republican activist, co-founding Century Strategies, a campaign-consulting company that became notorious for its ties to the disgraced lobbyist and fellow CNP member Jack Abramoff. Century Strategies had many political clients, including Dick Armey. Phillips also has a history of anti-Semitic smear campaigns and lobbying work on behalf of a forced-abortion sweatshop owner.
David Koch and his brother, Charles own Koch Industries, the 2nd largest privately owned company in the country after Cargill. David and Charles are lifelong libertarians and David ran as vice president to Ed Clark on the Libertarian party in the 1980 election funding 2 million of his own dollars into the campaign. Ed Clark told The Nation that libertarians were getting ready to stage “a very big tea party,” because people were “sick to death” of taxes. The Libertarian Party platform called for the abolition of the F.B.I. and the C.I.A., as well as of federal regulatory agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Energy. The Party wanted to end Social Security, minimum-wage laws, gun control, and all personal and corporate income taxes; it proposed the legalization of prostitution, recreational drugs, and suicide. William F. Buckley, Jr., CFR and Yale Skull and Bonesman alleged conservative, called the movement “Anarcho-Totalitarianism.”
In 1977, the Koch’s provided the funds to launch the nation’s first libertarian think tank, the Cato Institute. According to the Center for Public Integrity, between 1986 and 1993 the Koch family gave eleven million dollars to the institute. They’ve also heavily funded Heritage Foundation, which is connected to Rockefeller, just as are the Koch brothers. Heritage has fascist, communist, United Nations, and Sun Myung Moon connections. See part 2 of my article, Saving the Republic?.
David Koch is on the board of Trustees of Rockefeller University. He is also on the board of the globalist new age Aspen Institute formerly headed by new age environmentalist Maurice Strong which I wrote about in More Republican Deception. He is also on the board of Earthwatch Institute, an environmental, sustainability, Agenda 21 group. See this map of Koch’s many connections. David Koch also supports gay marriage and stem-cell research
Council for National Policy
The Council for National Policy was started allegedly to counter the workings of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), yet there were five CFR members on the early membership rosters of the CNP. The CNP was started in 1981 by Nelson Bunker Hunt, Pat Robertson, Tim LaHaye, (who accepted millions from Sun Myung Moon who claims he came to finish what Jesus started) and T. Cullen Davis who helped fund the CNP to get it off the ground. T. Cullen Davis was tried for murder not once, but twice. A book written about the trials is still available entitled, “Blood Will Tell: The Murder Trials of T. Cullen Davis” by Gary Cartwright. For a short synopsis click here.
Several of the CNP’s original members, such as Nelson Bunker Hunt, contributed large sums of their money to the JBS, which initially was funding provided from people such as Nelson Rockefeller — another example of how the elite control all sides and administer the opposition to these sides they create. Link The JBS however is instrumental in continuing the fight against a constitutional convention and they completely understand the dangers. Their research and exposure of who is behind the latest con-con push seems impeccable to me.
Many of CNP’s highest-ranking members also belong to the Masonic Knights of Malta and are associated with Fabian socialism and the eugenics movement, not to mention cultists like Sun Myung Moon and Scientology as well as the heretical and cultic Dominionist/Reconstructionist movement. Oil baron and CNP member Nelson Bunker Hunt was a former member of the racist pro-eugenics group called the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics. The group was heavily involved in the promotion of eugenics and segregation. I know two members who left the CNP stating it was in bed with the left from its inception. One of these former members writes for News With Views.
Fiddling While Rome Burns
The very first tea party meeting I attended was a few years ago in another county. I got up and left when the speaker who was supposed to be guiding the audience to educational forums told them to go to Third Wave futurist Newt Gingrich’s and Heritage Foundation sites.
About two months ago I got a call from a young man who attends the local tea party and wanted me to come and critique what they were doing. This first meeting had our state senator speak to us about the legislation that passed and failed to pass in Tennessee. I thought it was a pretty decent meeting although I ended up challenged regarding charter schools and tort reform. Sadly many have bought into the rightwing propaganda regarding both.
The second meeting had about half the people as the first meeting and someone from the audience read a one page article on California and Texas statistics resulting after tort reform. There was another gentleman that fully understood the problems with this reform which are basically socialistic, leads to higher negligence, increases the deficit and should be fought by every tea party. One officer of this group was particularly staunch on his support of tort reform, but then his father is a physician. Sadly under Obama care we will have no recourse for poor or deadly healthcare.
Also at this meeting were two women running for a state senate seat that had been vacated. Neither have the background nor experience. One is a school teacher who is convinced that charter schools are wonderful, as does Obama, and the other woman is the sister of our district’s alleged conservative representative in congress. This particular congressman took over the seat when his father died, and is training his son to take it over when he retires. This congressman also voted for the UN Goals 2000 and NAFTA. When I spoke up that charter schools would be run by corporations with “school to work,” as well as eliminating the school board and resulting in taxation without representation, I was shouted down by more than one of the tea party officers neither of whom knows anything about what’s really behind charter schools. As well, I spent days sending articles by Charlotte Iserbyt and Jed Brown, two of the most knowledgeable and brilliant people who have exposed what has been done to American education and this young man writes me back and says, “I find this all very confusing drivel.”
What is difficult to understand in this article from Jed Brown? “Finally, the entire plan to establish this quasi-privatized education system has a brilliantly conceived marketing plan. Those pushing the New World Order agenda have implored the conservative citizens to swallow school-choice plans in the name of the founding fathers, who would roll over in their graves. The words of John Chubb and Terry Moe, of The Brookings Institute and Stanford University respectively, would have gotten them an invite to a tar and feather party – “Our guiding principle in the design of a choice system is this: public authority must be put to use in creating a system that is almost entirely beyond the reach of public authority.” (Politics, Markets and America’s Schools, 1990)”
I hadn’t given up yet however, and when an article came out in a local paper about our newly elected RINO Governor Bill Haslam pushing for a national internet sales tax, I called up the young man that wanted me to critique the tea party and told him about it and sent him the article. Isn’t this right up the tea party’s alley? It’s more taxation! Haslam had stated he was going to contact the other 49 governors and have them push the congress to pass legislation taxing any and all out-of-state internet sales.
So he said since he was in charge that evening, we’d discuss it. Immediately I made 20 copies of the article and called two former congressional candidates to see if they’d attend. There were a total of five of us there that fully understand the agenda of both the right and the left and that it’s the same, just couched in different verbiage.
First we listened to the treasurer tell us that way too much money goes to social security, Medicare, and defense. Excuse me but all of us have paid into social security and Medicare and it is NOT an entitlement. We have paid for it! As for the military, it is the one constitutionally legal funding that should be at the top of our budget to protect American citizens.
Next we listened to another officer tell us that he visited a MoveOn.Org meeting and the people were quite nice, just deceived and it was under the guise of “knowing our enemy.” Needless to say I think all of us that care one iota about our country understand who George Soros is and what he stands for and it’s certainly not freedom. I sat there thinking, “Why are we visiting George Soros’ groups, why aren’t we picking our battles and fighting them?”
Next we heard from a rather bedraggled and bare footed lady who was to speak to us about Agenda 21, sustainability, and the latest land grabs by our federal and state governments. Granted, some people in the audience may not have fully understood this diabolical UN plan, but papers could have been handed out that also included a website for more information. Instead this woman read for over 15 minutes from papers she had with her and we didn’t discuss it afterward.
When an audience member asked when we were to discuss our governor’s new push for internet sales taxes, the young man I had called about this said, “There’s some misinformation regarding this subject matter,” and he dismissed it. We all looked at each other.
I asked him later why he had done that and he told me that he’d called our state senator and was told that Tennessee already collects internet sales tax. Obviously the young man did not understand what our senator told him. If you purchase something on the internet that is made in your state or whose company has a store or division in your state, you pay your state’s sales tax because they reside IN YOUR STATE. However, if you purchase something on the internet or via a catalogue phone order from another state and that store does NOT have a facility in your state, you DO NOT pay sales tax. Our RINO governor wants to rectify this by making us pay each state’s tax whether they have a company in our state or not. Typical tax and spend!
The five of us walked out of the meeting shaking our heads. All of us agreed that it was a total waste of time and that it’s too late to educate…we must be on top of the issues. The meeting prior to this should have concerned the debt ceiling shenanigans and we should have had a plan of attack on the politicians. We also should have connected with the other tea parties around the country with a plan to flood D.C. with complaints. At this meeting, we should have had a discussion of our governor’s new tax plan and getting this information to the rest of the tea parties in the state and then to the tea parties throughout the country. We didn’t even discuss it because the young man didn’t understand the issue.
False Friends
Lastly, on the website of this local tea party is the link to American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) which is a spin-off of the Heritage Foundation. ALEC is a shadowy group and member of the secretive Council for National Policy founded by former grand poobah of the CNP, Paul Weyrich. (Please again see part 2 of Saving the Republic?) Originally it was funded to the tune of 7 million dollars by Richard Mellon Scaife who funds both sides of the aisle. ALEC is a group that brings together state legislators and representatives of corporations to draft model bills that can then be introduced at the state level of government. An archive of ALEC documents was recently leaked. Reporter John Nichols says, ” “All of those pieces of legislation and those resolutions [in the documents] really err toward a goal, and that goal is the advancement of an agenda that seems to be dictated at almost every turn by multinational corporations.” This map shows their success of getting their legislative agenda in terms of bills passed on a state by state basis. Any legislator who jumps on their bandwagon is just a lamb to the slaughter, in my opinion.
Legislators in ALEC pay a minimal fee to join the group, while corporations pay much more — up to $25,000, Nichols says. The corporations make up the huge majority of members. One of their top corporations is Koch Industries. Along with the corporations, another major funder is The Church of Scientology.
ALEC’s main goal is privatization which has been done extensively to prisons, thus making corporations quite wealthy on prison labor and keeping pot sellers and smokers in for longer periods of time. ALEC is also at the head of the pack calling for a constitutional convention which would totally destroy the nation. Link Link
On the tea party’s website is of course a link to David Koch’s Americans for Prosperity. Also linked is the horrible Mt. Vernon Pledge, see part 1 of Saving the Republic for those involved, including Islamist Grover Norquist. Another group listed is Contract for America which advertises for Koch’s Americans for Prosperity, Grover Norquist’s ATR, American Solutions which is communist Newt Gingrich, and the worst of the lot, if there is such a thing, is the NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION, founded by James Dale Davidson who has pushed a constitutional convention since the late 70s and who we fought tooth and nail in the early 80s to stop the destruction of our constitution. Davidson gives $100,000 a year towards the efforts to call a constitutional convention, which our founder James Madison warned against only a year after the original convention. Davidson also sits on the board of Newsmax with several CFR members. On the Blog site, Heritage Foundry is listed as well as the anti-Semitic Republic Broadcasting Network.
My God in heaven, did anyone do any research before linking to these groups? They need to know that “a false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy.”
Conclusion
If this doesn’t frustrate all of us that are weeping over our losses, I don’t know what will. I recently read an article by fellow writer and retired SEAL, Jim O’Neill entitled, It’s Time to Reboot America. Give it a gander because I believe Jim has once again hit the nail on the head. As Claire Wolfe said, “We’re at that awkward stage where it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”
I also do not want my good readers to think that all tea parties are fully infested with change agents, infiltrators, or power hungry know-nothing leaders as so many in our part of Tennessee seem to be. One tea party leader who communicates with me is from Tea-MAC in Elkhart County, Indiana, and here’s what he says,
“Yeah, we know about the infiltrators and have been on guard. We are in the crosshairs of the enemies of the nation because of our effectiveness. You are right and it is very, very, worrisome and we are actually developing a very effective way of discovery and elimination in our groups. We’ve been dialing our little fingers off and e-mailing our little computers dry to Boehner, Cantor, McCarty and our own reps. Most Hoosier tea parties I know are urging their members to do so. And the opposition knows it and that’s why they’ve decided to infiltrate. And they are using the Saul Alinsky method against us. We don’t care, it’s full bore ahead.”
George Miller keeps me informed as well from the Ventura County, California Tea Party. They have an excellent website and try to keep people informed with up-to-date information on what our congress criminals are up to and how to fight it.
There are another half dozen large Tea Parties that encouraged me to write this article in the hope that other groups would understand that the enemy comes in both left and right propaganda as false friends of freedom.
May the Lord open the eyes of those who love America and give them discernment for without it I’m afraid we’re lost. Pray without ceasing fellow patriots, for our Heavenly Father is our only hope. May He have mercy on our nation. “And having done all to Stand!”

THE PHONY RIGHTWING
James Richard Perry
Part 5
A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves. Bertrand de Jouvenel des Ursins, usually known only as Bertrand de Jouvenel (31 October 1903, Paris – 1 March 1987) was a French philosopher, political economist, and futurist.
James Richard “Rick” Perry assumed the governorship of Texas in 2000 when he took over from George W. Bush who resigned to take the oath of office of President. He holds all records for Texas gubernatorial tenure. Perry has the distinction of being the only governor in modern Texas history to have appointed at least one person to every possible state office, board, or commission position which requires gubernatorial appointment (as well as to several elected offices to which the governor can appoint someone to fill an unexpired term, such as six of the nine current members of the Texas Supreme Court).
Perry was born in 1950 in West Texas to rancher parents. His father was a Democrat on the school board of Haskell County and was also a commissioner. Rick Perry graduated in 1972 from Texas A & M with a degree in animal science. After graduation, he was commissioned in the United States Air Force, completed pilot training and flew C-130 tactical airlift in the United States, the Middle East, and Europe until 1977. He left the Air Force with the rank of captain, returned to Texas and went into business farming cotton with his father. Sounds good so far, doesn’t he?
Perry said that his interest in politics probably began in November 1961, when his father took him to the funeral of Sam Rayburn, (Mr. Democrat) who during his long public career served as speaker of the Texas House and the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1984, Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat from a district that included his home county of Haskell. He served three two-year terms in office. He befriended fellow freshman state representative Lena Guerrero of Austin, a staunch liberal Democrat who endorsed Perry’s reelection bid in 2006 on personal, rather than philosophical grounds.
Perry supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries and was chairman of the Gore campaign in Texas. In 1989, Perry announced he was joining the Republican Party. Perry is a member of the National Governors Association (NGA). Bill Clinton is the only member of the NGA who ever became president of the United States.
The Bilderberg Conference
In 2007, Rick Perry attended the Istanbul, Turkey Bilderberg Conference. Also here In “What You Don’t Know About The Bilderberg Group,” by Thierry Meyssan, he states, “The Bilderberg Group is a creation of NATO. It aims to influence key leaders on a global scale and through them, to manipulate public opinion to get it to embrace the ideas and actions of the ” Northern Atlantic Alliance. The Bilderbergers, Trilateralists, and Council on Foreign Relations, along with many other organizations are the groups implementing the New World Order.
Tort Reform
As Governor, Perry supported tort reform to limit malpractice lawsuits against doctors, and as lieutenant governor he had tried and failed to limit class action awards and allowing plaintiffs to allocate liability awards among several defendants. In 2003, Perry sponsored a controversial state constitutional amendment to cap medical malpractice awards, which was narrowly approved by voters. This legislation has resulted in a 30 percent decrease in malpractice insurance rates and a significant increase in the number of doctors seeking to practice in the state. Tort reform is heavily pushed by the insurance industry. Many states have passed variable limited amounts in their tort reform. Obviously the majority of thinking Americans are against frivolous lawsuits. However, there are countless cases of not only physician error/negligence, but also of hospital error/negligence. What is the life worth of your child, husband, wife, or anyone you love? Would tort reform increase negligence and erase patients’ rights?
Big Government and Fiscal Conservatism
In 2000, when Perry took office as governor, total spending by the state of Texas was $49 billion. At the end of 2010, it had almost doubled to $90 billion. Perry campaigns on his fiscal conservatism and small government, but he has enlarged the government and budget of Texas and now the state has some severe debt problems since he took office. Although he’s not raised the sales tax in Texas nor implemented a state income tax, he has raised about every other fee and tax he could think of including a surcharge on traffic violations. (As an aside, Georgia now has fees along with fines on traffic violations and they are as high as $800.00. Fines have set limits, but fees do not, so the state has found new ways to tax the people with high fees.) He also raised the franchise taxes on Texas’s small businesses. As anticipated, Texas businesses paid more in franchise taxes after the overhaul than they did before: In 2006 and 2007, franchise tax revenue was $5.75 billion. In 2008 and 2009, the first two years of the revised tax, total revenue rose to $8.7 billion.
Perry has borrowed money for many projects in Texas which has created difficult debt situations. Here’s the Texas debt clock..
The Sordid Details of the Trans Texas Corridor Scandal
Gov. Rick Perry may not be the spider, but he certainly has become one of the strands in the web of international conspiracy for those who see a stealth plan to merge the United States with Canada and Mexico.
A key element of that alleged plan is Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor, specifically the 1,200-foot wide toll road that is proposed from Laredo to the Oklahoma border. A toll road likely to be built by a consortium headed by Spanish Cintra S.A. and Zachry Construction Co. of San Antonio. The first step to creating a North American Union is merging the nations’ transportation systems and the Trans-Texas Corridor is the first step.
Perry seemed to have his own plans for farm and ranch lands of Texas all along. Rick Perry wanted to build 4,000 miles of mega-highway over a million and half acres of prime, productive Texas farmland. Over a million people would have been kicked out of their homes, ranches & businesses. Behind closed doors, a contract worth billions was signed with a Cintra S.A. to pave clear across the state and collect tolls for the next 50 years. After he pushed this through, Perry’s war chest swelled with millions from big business buddies who stood to grow even richer off the deal. But citizens revolted against this outrage of cronyism and government overreach. The legislature tried to stand up for Texas families by passing a law to protect homes and farms, but Perry vetoed it. Only days after he won his primary, transportation officials announced a proposal to extend a major toll road in Austin (SH-130) north towards the Waco area – following the same route as Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor!
In 2009, TXDOT decided to phase out the all-in-one corridor concept in favor of developing separate rights-of-way for road, rail, and other infrastructure using more traditional corridor widths for those modes. In 2010, official decision of “no action” was issued by the Federal Highway Administration, formally ending the project. The action eliminated the study area and canceled the agreement between TXDOT and Cintra Zachry. In 2011, the Texas Legislature formally canceled the Trans-Texas Corridor because of the outrage of Texas citizens.
Backdoor Toll Roads
In October of 2009, Perry removed the Superintendent of Schools in Dallas who was chair of the board that oversees the $88 billion Teacher Retirement System. He replaced him with a member of his own campaign finance team. This came shortly after the death of the Trans Texas Corridor. The new man in charge is to urge the Teacher Retirement System to invest in Perry’s risky toll road schemes as a means to funnel money into the TXDOT (Texas Dept. of Transportation). So Perry hasn’t given up on his plans.
Rick Perry’s toll roads are a gargantuan TAX INCREASE of tens of billions of dollars, debt time-bombs putting Texans at risk for financial explosion, and an attack on property rights.
Terri Hall explains it well in her June 25, 2011 article on her website.
“Agenda 21’s stated goals are to abolish private property and restrict mobility in individual cars (i.e. – herd people into the cities and make them dependent on mass transit). Public private partnerships are a primary means to accomplish these goals, which is the sale of our public roads to private, even foreign corporations which not only mean toll rates as high as 75-80 cents PER MILE, it also restricts the expansion of free lanes and allows the government to abuse its eminent domain powers to steal your land and give it to another private interest for profit.”
“Check out Glenn Beck’s expose’ on YouTube. Here’s an example of the sort of propaganda sustainable development proponents produce in order to make it “cool” and “green” to give up your property rights and freedom to travel..”
Perry Lies About Foreign Creditors
Terri Hall writes, “By selling off Texas’ public buildings (including the capitol buildings owned by the people) and roads to foreign corporations like Cintra and Balfour Beatty, Perry and the Legislature are clearly making future generations of Texans pay for a bailout of lawmakers for their chronic underfunding of and raiding of highway funds. Entering into public private partnerships for every sort of infrastructure is the flavor of the month that lawmakers turn to in order to hawk-up our public ‘assets’ (like taking out a second mortgage) to get quick cash rather than match spending with revenues or end gas tax diversions for non-road purposes. In other words, PPPs give politicians a get out of jail card to engage in spending beyond their means, using the same ‘foreign creditors’ that Perry denounced.” (Remember Arizona sold off all their public buildings, including the Capitol building…still think Brewer is wonderful?)
“For more on the bills passed that allow this, go here. Also, Texas currently has 20 deals in the works with none other than China.”
Rick Perry, Merck and Parental Rights
On February 2, 2007, Perry issued an executive order that made Texas the first state to require girls entering the sixth grade to receive the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) vaccine starting in the fall of school year 2008. The vaccine was Merck’s Gardasil which had only received FDA approval in June of 2006, for 9 to 26 year old women, so it wasn’t even a year old. The cost was $360 per shot in Texas and Merck was lobbying to get the rest of the states on board with the mandatory vaccine. Two of Perry’s former Chiefs of Staff worked for Merck, and the mother of one of them was involved in lobbying for Texas state law to inoculate young girls. His former chief of staff was paid $250,000 by Merck to lobby for this. A Texas state legislator (Diane White Delisi) was pushing for it and working with Merck and her daughter-in-law was the current chief of staff. Merck had doubled its lobbying budget in Texas and funneled money through an organization called Women in Government, to which Perry has a number of personal ties. Perry also received $6000 from Merck’s political action committee during his re-election campaign.
Gardasil allegedly only protects from one to three of the hundred or so forms of HPV and the side effects are devastating, including death. Link and Link
Girls were allowed to refuse the vaccine if their parents filed an objection on religious or other philosophical grounds. However, what is to prevent the school from vaccinating that child before the parent even is aware of when it will take place? I personally have no desire to receive any government or state mandated vaccine.
Parents sued the state on moral and safety concerns and on May 9, 2007, Perry allowed a bill to go into law that would undo his executive order.
Interestingly enough, Perry asked for federal assistance in fighting the non-existent 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.
Education
Texas has the second highest number of enrollments in Charter Schools which Governor Perry backs and seemingly are pushed in every state by the Heritage Foundation. See The Rockefeller/Heritage connection and Saving the Republic? Part 2.
“The significance of the charter school/school choice issue is NOT related strictly to educational choice. It is related to acceptance of a communist system of governance where decisions are made by appointed, not elected officials. Appointed officials cannot be removed from office by voters/taxpayers.” For a thorough overview of the Charter School Trap see Charlotte Iserbyt’s article and ask yourself why all these so-called conservative Republicans are backing Obama’s push for charter schools.
Perry also backed No Child Left Behind which became law through the efforts of both John Boehner and Ted Kennedy for President George W. Bush. “It is basically the United Nations Lifelong Learning-Brainwashing Agenda under the umbrella of what will eventually be “unelected” school and community councils (council is defined as “soviet” in many dictionaries) which will make all decisions for us at the local level.” Link
The Anti-TSA Bill
Oh how all the nation would have loved to have Governor Rick Perry sign into Texas law the Anti-TSA law preventing groping or fricasseeing in airports. There were actually two bills, HB1937 and HB1938. Texas State Rep. David Simpson, offered the bill that civilly penalizes TSA agents who use full body scanning machines at airport security check points, and also offered a second bill penalizing TSA officials who do enhanced pat downs.
Representative Simpson and his supporters, who are of considerable number and come from both sides of the aisle, believe that they are on firm, Constitutional ground. The Fourth Amendment protects American citizens from “unreasonable search and seizure.” The 10th Amendment suggests that the operation of airports is a state and not a federal function.
So what happened? Why didn’t it pass and get signed into law? After passing in the house, it stalled in the Senate. The U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, said the Transportation and Security Administration would ground flights “for which it could not ensure the safety of passengers and crew.” Great excuse for killing the bills.
Originally there was support for Simpson’s bills, but then when the Justice Department wrote a scathing memo against the bill, which threatened legal action against the state, the measure became enmeshed in Senate politics. Perry stated at the outset there wasn’t enough support for the bill and he didn’t push it, but it garnered him positive publicity. The Tea Party activists and other enraged citizens pressured the governor’s office wherein he finally added the bill to the special-session agenda after at least 200 other special sessions’ bills were introduced. The special-session runs until June 29. Is there a chance it will become law? Highly doubtful. Link Link
Supreme Court Justice Steven Wayne Smith
Perry has made numerous appointments to the Texas courts, to commissions, to boards, etc. in his tenure as I mentioned above. One of Perry’s first selections was the appointment of Xavier Rodriguez to succeed Greg Abbott on the Texas Supreme Court. Rodriguez, a self-proclaimed moderate,(progressive republican) was unseated in the 2002 Republican primary by a true constitutional conservative Steven Wayne Smith, the attorney in the Hopwood v. Texas suit in 1996, which successfully challenged affirmative action at the University of Texas Law School. Smith was elected by a comfortable margin over Democratic opposition in the 2002 general election. After his defeat, Rodriguez returned to private practice briefly before being appointed to the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas in San Antonio by President George W. Bush.
Perry objected to Smith’s tenure on the court and refused to meet with the new justice when Smith attempted to mend fences with the governor. (What does this tell you about Perry?) Perry encouraged Judge Paul Green to challenge Smith in the 2004 Republican primary. Green defeated Smith in the primary and was elected without opposition in the general election. Smith attempted a comeback in the 2006 Republican primary by challenging Justice Don Willett, another Perry appointee who was considered a conservative on the court. Smith polled 49.5 percent of the primary vote, but Willett narrowly prevailed.
According to many Texans, Steven Wayne Smith was the Robert Bork of Texas and the best supreme court judge they’d had in 50 years.
Eminent Domain
Rick Perry vetoed the Eminent Domain bill that would have helped landowners in Texas. He claimed the compensation was too high, but in reality it strengthened the protection of privately held land from being grabbed by Texas legislators. “With this veto, Governor Perry has left every home, farm, ranch and small business owner vulnerable to the abuse of eminent domain,” said Steven Anderson, director of the Institute for Justice’s Castle Coalition, a national grassroots advocacy group committed to ending the private-to-private transfer of property using eminent domain. Link
Perry Signs Hate Crime Bill
Signing the Hate Crime Bill was one of the first things Perry did as governor. Hate Crime laws are laws that make some crimes worse than others because of a person’s perceived bias to some class or group. In reality these laws are thought crime laws and murder is murder and should be punished accordingly no matter the person or group. The Texas law, which received final legislative approval on in 2001 (signed by Rick Perry), strengthens penalties for crimes motivated by a victim’s race, religion, color, sex, disability, sexual preference, age or national origin. Link
Amnesty
Rick Perry often gives speeches about illegal immigration, but when you look at the facts, he has been incredibly soft on the issue. Eric Holder is soft on immigration and against SB 1070. So is Perry. Eric Holder talks a tough game while loosening enforcement. So does Perry. A little ritual troop marching on the border does not block illegals from jobs and entitlements. Perry is working on watered down laws to please his Latino constituency. If Rick Perry does not plan to secure the border, then he should not be president because illegal immigration is absolutely devastating many areas of the southwest United States. Governor Rick Perry supports in-state tuition for illegal aliens, opposes the border fence, supports the Trans-Texas Corridor, and has refused to crack down on services to illegal aliens. He has even stated openly in the past that he has a moderate record on immigration. Link
Conclusion
Perry is a globalist not much different than Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney or Herman Cain. There is so much more I could write about Perry’s governorship, but it would take a book. Texan Robert Morrow states, “Rick Perry is a Trojan Horse of statism cloaked in Tea Party rhetoric and Bible Buzzwords.”
Muslim convert Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform has delayed a planned GOP presidential debate in Las Vegas, NV, in order to first allow Rick Perry to throw his ten gallon hat into the ring. Secret Council for National Policy member Norquist is the perfect model of the fatal co-opting of the conservative and Tea Party movements by corrupt transnationalists. If you wish to see just how, read Gulag Bound’s February article, “The Trouble at CPAC & the Real Dividing Line for Conserving America.”
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12.
Pray without ceasing for our nation for our only hope is in God.

College Degrees Emotional Financial Spider Webs
By Linda Frances Marie
Colleges have changed their academic structure focusing on by the book process, written by school career professors who may not have ever held a real job becoming author’s paid by each word to implement a confusing level of learning taking students into loosing sight of the real working world. Students will find getting an internship that pays little or nothing or even a minimum wage is a disappointment yet professors will convince students they will have a job when finishing college. This type of education is taught in China and Russia under a communistic social system to close down the young minds controlling the population.
Counselors tell new students they can apply for funding and once this process starts they are trapped into a continuing debt for the rest of their life and no job with an income high enough to pay off their student loans. These funds are federal student aid loans linked to the Internal Revenue Service, attached are extreme interest rates and fees when loans are due after graduation. The U.S. Department of Education has issued search warrants when Federal Student Aid loans go unpaid.
The smarter students pay as they go each semester and apply their school expense as a tax deduction at the end of the year, while others students receive a scholarship at some point they will have to pay for classes and books.
High school graduates can no longer put themselves through college for a few thousand dollars in loan debt. Today, the average undergraduate borrower leaves school with more than $20,000 in student loans, and for graduate students the average is a whopping $42,000. For the past twenty years, college tuition has increased at more than double the rate of inflation, with the cost largely shifting to student debt. The Student Loan Scam is an exposé of the predatory nature of the $85-billion student loan industry. In this in-depth exploration, Collinge argues that student loans have become the most profitable, uncompetitive, and oppressive type of debt in American history. http://studentloanjustice.org/
Through my personnel experience of attending college I gained insight to the reality of the college’s spider web to emotional structures of confusion, drama, inexperienced teachers, expensive over costs for books and extreme home work assignments and tests. The career path used in college is a shock for younger students and returning mature experienced working adults. The procedures colleges use from e-mails to on-line testing and grading will try up your time every minute of your waking hour and destroy your passion to pursue a career. What you learn and how it is taught is not what is used in the real world, in fact most teachers prefer that the real world system of facts and ideas are not presented to the students.
Registration for one class can start at $150 to $500 dollars for a three to five units, sixteen week semester. Summer classes are shorter but cost the same and you pack sixteen weeks into a six or eight week class. Each semester a parking permit is required, but locating a place to park is another challenge.
The pit falls in college are distracting and stressful; registering for class is an administrative computer nightmare, adding to this is the pre-testing just to take classes. Pre-testing was implemented when high school grads and foreign students lacked understanding of the English language and math skills causing set-backs in the classroom.
Application for classes must be done on-line and no longer can you register at the administration office. The schools catalogs and courses are posted on a website. Adults entering college realize there is a maze of spider webs taking your money and time. During registration an elderly male was in the lobby, attempting to register for class he was having trouble understanding the on-line registration requirements. He started yelling and screaming about the confusing process to enroll for one class, he left upset failing to enroll or register. Now the college offers a class to educate students on the registration process and what to expect when starting your first semester.
When students make it through the rat maze and get registered, they must now compete to register on-line for each semester’s classes before the class is closed. If you haven’t been given a date and time to register before the classes are filled you must petition the day of the class with fifteen or more other students, which delays ordering your books, if you are admitted in a class the pressure to create chaos in a student’s home work and studies is high with some teachers enjoying the emotional stress they force a student to endure. Getting your books two weeks late delays your homework assignments and sometimes the book store runs out of books which causes more stress. If there are used books associated to the class and it is offered for another term and approved for the semester by the instructor it’s a one day scramble to the book store to get the discount if used books are available, there after you pay full price unless a previous student wants to sell you their book.
A single class in a sixteen week semester can require one-hundred and fifty to two-hundred and fifty assignments to be turned in and graded by the professor using a point system or the publisher’s book website filled with tests that determine seventy-five percent of your grade. The publisher’s website costs seventy to eight-five dollars and required for tests as part of your class grade with as many as two-hundred and fifty question quizzes that must be answered and completed by a date and time selected by the professor. The website courses can be different from the text book adding more trick tests and confusion to your college class experience.
Cell phones are the biggest emotional distraction causing rude drama king and queen students to answer their cell phones during class and some will start talking loud in foreign languages, while others discuss talking about their drinking and partying, to picking up a friend at the county jail to a continuation of events that do not focus on learning. Teachers try to enforce a no cell phone policy during class but it doesn’t apply to the dysfunctional selective hearing students.
When mature adults enter college they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the classroom younger teachers have a fear of this group because it brings to light questions and answers hidden from younger students who do not have the years of wisdom. This knowledge is a real awakening for students and they become hungry for information leading away from the text books unrealistic course of teaching. When a mature adult makes the students aware of incorrect information presented in the text book it shocks the teacher altering answers on tests. Then it brings to light the trick questions and incorrect answers meant to mislead students to create a grading curve.
After the first year students realize what is being taught in the books and class lack the real truth and many question how will this be applied to a career or job? School software becomes outdated compared with the job market causing a continuation of updates in books and computer labs to implement testing. Classes that have current computer systems and software updates to match the job market fill quickly with a waiting list.
Groups of students with picture cells phones share answers to tests and cheating when they can buddy up to another student who had the same tests in a previous semester with the same teacher. Many students will hook-up with others who have taken a class, asking for their cell phone number so they can ask for help. Guys will hook up with smart naive girls to help them get through classes making the girls do all the work. This also occurs when students are paired by the professors and graded as a group.
Some working students bring their class studies to their employer giving them a higher value and their employer reimburses them for part or full expenses. These working students will only take one or two classes a semester, which is more reasonable financially and mentally. Some teachers ask for their opinion on projects given in class and their comparison to what is used on the job.
Books are oversized and growing with more chapters each year. One book can have over one thousand pages with a weight of over ten pounds at a cost of two-hundred and fifty dollars. Teachers try to complete a chapter per week which results in cramming data before students can absorb information and the process. Students are so rushed they loose interest and just want to get it over. Some of the publishing companies sell the books three-hole punched because it is so thick a spine would not hold all the pages. Students are forced to purchase a three-hole notebook and at the end of the semester this type of book cannot be returned, if the book is used in the next term class again students try to sell it to another student taking the same class. The school book store offers on-line rental books for some classes, but these have some problems where the pages do not print or data is missing, students find out after they start to do assignments. Some classes require two or three books; the lessons, a work book and the publisher’s website for chapter exams.
As one Chinese student stated; “You have one friend your book for class that is your friend each semester, that’s what I pay for, I can’t wait until I can go back to China I hate it here.”
Cutbacks in classes can delay many students graduation date, up to two years increasing their living expenses and forcing them to take other classes not associated with their college credit requirements for continuation into a university.
One of the more effective procedures being offered is when several colleges become a group offering classroom or on-line courses for each semester. College funding has become limited reducing classes needed to complete courses for degrees and entry into a University. By merging their computer registration and courses joint colleges offer more career selections to students making available a research library and a classroom environment for students who prefer direct contact with the teacher and other students.
On-line courses can be effective but books can have mistakes and computer software and servers are set-up with time limits and restrictions. Teacher’s set-up test questions and select trick answers, plus tests have time limits. Each question counts as points when answered, if unanswered it counts as a wrong answer and your score drops. The advantages with on-line college; it keeps you out of the classroom drama, saving on gas, mileage and parking permit expenses. You schedule your study time but must meet deadlines for weekly lessons, tests and quarterly exams. Teachers are part-time with an attitude and limitations on meeting with students.
If you choose a career continuing on to college and a university at some point it will take you to your goal, but this is a long term commitment with an up hill battle leading to delays and disappointments. Working your way through college can take longer and having a job is to your advantage giving you the funds to continue school. But it is very stressful to serve two masters, but more stressful when you can’t meet your financial obligations.
Going through college can cost you time and diverting you from an idea or pursuing a creative passion. Many of the successful businesses of the past and today where started by those who did not have the money to attend college and pursue a degree. They had an idea and applied it working out of their home or garage. You must love the career you choose or be faced with a bitter emotional attitude wishing you selected another course base.
You need to be selective when associating with students many have issues and lack disciplines for the real world and look for a co-dependent with a cell phone they can call to be their emotional therapist to dump on. The students in the school system are being taught not to think and lack the ability to function independently.
The college system is under the United States Department of Education and the National Institute of Education their goal of the educational system is structured to alter and change young minds way of thinking, leading to controlling the character and personalities of children and students for a socialist-collectivist world of the future.
As a parent or future student you may want to read, “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America”, written by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, who was a school board trustee/administrator and former Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education during the first term of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and staff employee of the US State Department (South Africa, Belgium, South Korea).

THE PHONY RIGHTWING
Herman Cain
Part 4
“Socialism in America will come through the ballot box.” Arvo Gustav Halberg (Gus Hall) (1910-2000) leader of the Communist Party USA and its four-time U.S. presidential candidate and recipient of the Order of Lenin.
I really thought that many of the GOP candidates had far less sinister ideas than the first two I wrote about that I really consider communists. Our GOP candidates are so much farther to the left than was Democratic candidate John F. Kennedy in 1960 who at that time was considered to be an extreme liberal. How far we’ve come in 50 years!
Herman Cain is supposedly a Tea Party favorite, but most of the Tea Party folks I associate with are wise to the real Herman Cain.
Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee on December 13, 1945, but was raised in Georgia. His mother was a cleaner and his father was a chauffeur. He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and received a Master of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1971, while he was also working full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy. He is an American businessman, politician, columnist, and radio host from Georgia. He is best known as the former chairman and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. He is a former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Herman lives in the Georgia suburbs and is the minister of a Baptist Church.
The Federal Reserve
Most conservatives believe the Federal Reserve needs to be eliminated and is unconstitutional. As well, there’s been a recent push by Ron Paul to get the Fed audited. Herman doesn’t think the Fed needs auditing and stated there is nothing to find. He is a staunch defender of the central banking system.
But what we want to know Herman is just exactly how the Fed handled the financial crisis. Herman has also stated that the Fed is not unconstitutional because it was created by a congressional statute in 1913 by that progressive leader, Woodrow Wilson.
After the uproar regarding his stance, he flip-flopped…so common with politicians. So, which is it Herman?
Herman Cain Supported Romney
Here’s what Herman said when Romney was running for President in the primaries for the 2008 election, ” Anyone who wishes to find a reason not to vote for Romney can easily find one. But the reasons to vote for him are far more compelling. He has successfully managed a real business with other people’s money and some of his own. He has balanced budgets. He successfully led a turnaround situation with the Olympics. And he has spent more of his career outside government than inside. See also
TARP
Herman was and still is a strong supporter of TARP which we see as one of the worst public policy atrocities since LBJ’s programs, not to mention the corruption and debt. He stated it was good economics and the Bush information on the financial crisis was sound. Seems like he didn’t listen to the electorate and didn’t hear them on radio when they called in against it.
Patriot Act
Herman says the Patriot Act is 90% right on. He doesn’t tell us what he feels is wrong with the other 10% that isn’t good, but he still sides with it. How about the constitution Herman? Ever read that? What about the fourth amendment to the Bill of Rights Herman?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
In 2007, FBI Director Robert Mueller admitted to abuses of the PATRIOT Act. In fact, there were more than 1,000 instances of the FBI misusing the law, according to the Washington Post. http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/8150-herman-cain-would-trade-liberty-for-security.
Foreign Policy
Mr. Cain can’t tell us his foreign policy on Afghanistan until he says, “he takes office.” He said he didn’t want to second guess Obama’s handling of the war, saying he didn’t have enough information to make a definitive statement.
Education
Cain is for “expanding school vouchers and charter schools” and says “a critical component of improving education in our country is to decentralize the federal government’s control over it.” He has written that the establishment of the Department of Education “took control of education policy and curriculums away from local school districts and the states and placed it in the hands of unaccountable bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.”
Mr. Cain is either on the side of Obama with Charter schools or he’s greatly deceived. If you don’t understand what the problem with Charter schools is, here are
excerpts from: THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF SCHOOL CHOICE & CHARTER SCHOOLS By O. Jerome (Jed) Brown – 1995
Choice/Charter schools destroy the electoral process and the rational-bureaucratic structure that has worked for 200 years and would continue to work if people would stop voting idiots into office, holding those they vote in accountable. Yes, Choice/Charter schools will alter the politics and government of education so that our schools are in sync with the New International Orders.
Instead of proper public policy being effectively administered under the old social contract, schools are to be ineffectively administered by site-based councils under the terms of their charter. In other words, schools are to be governed chaotically, by consensus of group of unqualified people according to their international charter under regional authority. The new social contract also gives each parent the right to choose any school for his child, as long as it meets or exceeds these international standards of mediocrity.
The words of John Chubb and Terry Moe, of The Brookings Institute and Stanford University respectively, would have gotten them an invite to a tar and feather party — “Our guiding principle in the design of a choice system is this: public authority must be put to use in creating a system that is almost entirely beyond the reach of public authority.” (Politics, Markets and America’s Schools, 1990)
Second Amendment and Gun Control
In an interview with the infamous Wolf Blitzer, Cain stated that he was pro-second amendment, but that it should be up to the states. Well now, wait a minute…is he saying he believes our federal constitution’s Bill of Rights should be decided by the states, that they are not the entire country’s restrictions on government and for the people? The Bill of Rights is NOT subject to state approval.
Here’s what Jazz Shaw, author of this article said about Cain’s statements during this interview and I agree with him, ” The other possibility, though, is that he’s one of those “Constitutional” conservatives who rejects the entire idea that Federal Bill of Rights should be applied to the states. Ron Paul believes this, and it’s one reason I’m not entirely a fan of his. Is this Cain’s position? Does he believe that, not just the 2nd, but also the 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th Amendments shouldn’t apply to the states? Some clarification on this issue would be most helpful.
Muslims in the Cain Administration
After coming out strongly against Islam and appointing Muslims to his cabinet, Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain reversed course completely. Pressure came from the PC crowd and Muslims’ Advocacy groups and he caved saying he’d appoint Muslims to his administration and to judgeships.
Security and Prosperity Partnership or NAU
Cain has been one of the CEOs on the North American Competitiveness Council almost since its creation. This is the think tank for promoting the agenda of the Security and Prosperity Agreement Bush signed with Canada and Mexico which gives up our sovereignty and erases our borders with those countries by establishing the North American Union (NAU). Cain appears to be in favor of free trade. He favored the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1993, saying “Free trade is not a zero sum game… Everyone can benefit.” On trade with China, he says that “China is not the problem…Our economic growth is the problem. If we can start to grow in a robust fashion, we won’t even have to look back at China.” His suggestion for stimulating economic growth is to cut the top corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% and “take the capital gains rate to zero.” I like that, but Herman…there are no jobs here because they’re now all in China!
He is on numerous boards, and many of the people that are members of the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission repeatedly show up on the same boards. Cain is friends with the Koch brothers who pose as libertarians but attend the Bilderberg group meetings. The Koch brothers support Cain for nomination and he is their puppet. They are behind, “Americans for Prosperity” and are connected to both the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. We’ll discuss the Koch brothers another time.
If you scroll down, the last name on the list in the Competitive Council is Herman Cain. To validate this is Herman Cain, here is a website with a picture of Cain celebrating the grand opening of a Whirlpool distribution center. American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
In August of 2009, Herman Cain spoke to ALEC, which I wrote about in Part 2 of Saving the Republic. Richard Mellon Scaife has allegedly funded ALEC to the tune of more than 7 million dollars. One must remember that Scaife funds both sides of the aisle and is connected to Rockefeller (Chase Mellon Bank). Scaife also recently had a full page ad in the WSJ stating why it was so important for taxpayers to fund Planned Parenthood and what they do for American women. ALEC writes nearly all of the bills for state legislatures. The danger in the ALEC organization is that its leadership apparently wants to rewrite our Constitution and they claim a membership of 2,500 plus of our 7,500 legislators. Members of ALEC include the Church of Scientology, which has spoken at ALEC meetings. ALEC is pushing for a constitutional convention which is by far the biggest danger in America today.
Herman Cain and a Constitutional Convention
Cain often substitute hosts for radio personality, Neal Boortz and like Boortz pushes the Fair Tax which is a consumption tax. However, Boortz also pushes a constitutional convention to rid us of the 16th Amendment (income tax) when the fair tax is passed. Boortz is a lawyer and you’d think would understand the danger of a Constitutional Convention. To open a Con-Con would mean taking the entire constitution down and all of it could be changed. Can you imagine the delegates that would be appointed or the involvement of Feinstein, Reid, or Pelosi?
Remember too that a NEW STATES CONSTITUTION is waiting in the wings written at a cost of 25 million dollars over 10 years by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. This NEW STATES CONSTITUTION eliminates all unalienable God given rights and makes any rights privileges granted by the federal government.
Boortz states we need a convention to rid ourselves of the 16th Amendment, but we didn’t need a constitutional convention to get rid of the 18th Amendment which was the prohibition of liquor…we simply had another amendment (21st) which repealed the 18th!
James Madison made the statement only a year after the original convention in 1787 that he trembled at the thought of a new convention with the many dishonorable politicians itching to change the constitution only one year later. We need to force the congress criminals to obey the constitution we have, not allow them to destroy it and make one that perfectly fits their New World Order agenda.
Herman Cain is a staunch promoter of the Fair Tax, but a Constitutional Convention is the final death Knell of the United States of America.
Conclusion
Once again, I have to say, Herman Cain is not a constitutional conservative and is definitely not my choice. I thought he was better than the previous two candidates I wrote about, but after doing the research, I’m appalled at how much he is like the typical establishment Republican. Is there anyone that would lead us out of the NWO mire we’re in now? I’ve come to the conclusion that unless we get on our faces in the dirt and pray like we’ve never prayed before for our beloved nation, that we haven’t a chance of turning this mess around. The powers in place will not allow a constitutionalist to win, but with prayer anything is possible. I don’t just mean a five minute chat with the Almighty. I mean heartfelt, tear stained prayer of repentance, sorrow and broken heartedness for our nation wherein we ask God to help us. Can we be saved like Nineveh? See the Book of Jonah.

THE PHONY RIGHTWING
AND WHO IS SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER
Willard Mitt Romney
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
Norman Thomas (1884-1968) six time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. Norman Thomas and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party Candidates, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic parties had adopted every plank of the Communist/Socialist party and they no longer had an alternate party platform on which to run.
Willard Mitt Romney was born in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan to former Governor of Michigan, George W. Romney and his wife, Lenore Romney. He was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and attended Brigham Young University.
When Willard was a sophomore in high school he participated in the campaign for his father’s first term as Governor of Michigan. CFR member George Romney was reelected twice and Mitt even worked for him as an intern. He went to the 1964 Republican National Convention when his moderate father battled conservative Barry Goldwater for the party nomination over issues of civil rights and ideological extremism. The family ended up supporting Lyndon Baines Johnson for president.
Willard got his Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration degrees from Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. In 1966, Mitt left for France as a Mormon missionary which is a traditional duty of sons of Mormons. This was the first time Mitt was living a life of deprivation. With the rules of no drinking or smoking, he failed to gain many converts in France. The French Catholics are wine loving people and prove especially resistant to a religion that prohibits alcohol. His missionary years were not the best esteem builders, yet he still holds a great fondness for France.
Romney entered into management consulting and had a position at Bain and Company. He eventually served as it’s CEO and led it out of a financial crisis. He was the founder too of a spinoff company Bain Capital, a profitable equity investment firm. He had an excellent record of success with clients like Monsanto Company, Burlington Industries, and Corning Incorporated. Of course Monsanto is responsible for the majority of GMO seeds and foods in our nation today.
He won the election for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, but only served one term. The state was in financial peril and had a projected $3 billion shortfall. The reason it was in peril is like all states, the politicians overspend and then expect the taxpayers to make up the difference. Unexpected revenue came in from a previously enacted capital gains tax increase and $500 million in federal grants which decreased the deficit to $1.2 to 1.5 billion. Through some budget manipulating and cuts in state aid to cities and towns, and major cuts to universities which increased the tuition by 63% over four years, as well as his vetoing many items, although all were overridden by the Democrat majority legislature, he managed to bring in more to the Massachusetts treasury. What Romney really did to fix the budget was what most Governors, both left and right do. They raise taxes on the people of the state. He raised fees for marriage, driver’s, and gun licenses. He increased the state gasoline fee by 2 cents per gallon and he closed tax loopholes that caused businesses to pay more taxes. This brought in $541 million to the coffers, but created financial hardships on businesses in Massachusetts.
Romney Care
Of course this all didn’t last long with the adoption of the socialist universal health care mandate Willard gave Massachusetts. He promised it wouldn’t raise taxes, but incorporated a new payroll tax. He also pushed for incorporating an individual mandate at the state level. His past rival Ted Kennedy (he ran against Kennedy for Senator in 1994), who had pushed universal health coverage for years became a close friend of Romney’s and helped push the state’s Democrats into voting for it along with the Republicans.
With Romney Care all residents of the state are required to buy health insurance or face escalating tax penalties such as the loss of their personal income tax exemptions. This is, in effect a tax on their very existence in the state of Massachusetts! The most draconian sections of the bill that would put burdens on businesses were vetoed by Romney, but the Democrat legislature overrode them all. Romney Care also finances abortion with a $50 dollar co-pay. This entire bill was endorsed by Marxists Hillary Clinton, Teddy Kennedy and of course Planned Parenthood who has now helped murder 56 million American babies in the womb with help of plans like Romney Care.
At the same time Massachusetts also created a new state entitlement that was already trembling on the verge of bankruptcy inside of a year. It is called Commonwealth Care, it uses a sliding income scale to subsidize coverage for everyone under 300% of the federal poverty level, or about $63,000 for a family of four. In 2008, the year’s appropriation for Commonwealth Care was $472 million, but officials have asked for an add-on that will bring it to $625 million. For 2009, Governor Deval Patrick requested $869 million but conceded that even that huge figure is too low. Over the coming decade, the expected overruns float in as much as $4 billion over budget. So, despite Romney’s getting the state out of the red with new fees and taxes, he turned around and gave the state a huge new bureaucracy that now has it near bankruptcy.
Romney on Abortion
1994 – Romney stated, “I believe abortion should be safe and legal in this country.
2001 – While campaigning in Utah, Romney said, “I am not pro-choice.”
2002 – While in Massachusetts, Romney quipped, “I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose.
2004 – Romney again magically became pro-life.
2005 – Once again in liberal Massachusetts, Romney spoke these words, “I am actually committed to my promise to maintain the status quo with regards to laws related to abortion and choice”. He even exempted Catholic and Christian hospitals from refusing the morning-after pill in case of rape.
Not only does Romney not advocate a ban on embryonic research, he actually supports government funding for the lethal use of the tiniest children for research, demonstrating the falsity of both his conversion and his account of it. And yet many pro-family “leaders” have chosen to ignore the truth, and believe lies.
Now on the campaign trail again, he’s saying he’s pro-life, but let’s look at his record.
After he claimed a pro-life conversion, Willard Mitt Romney
authorized tax-funded surgical elective abortion two years after he claimed he was pro-life.
- advocated grisly research on embryos after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
- nominated a pro-abort Democrat judge after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
- gave Planned Parenthood a permanent seat on a state board after he claimed a pro- life conversion.
- bragged that he would continue to defend abortion “rights” after he claimed a pro-life conversion.
His record is absolutely shocking and in another campaign speech he stated he is personally pro-life, but doesn’t want to push his personal religious beliefs on society. So, society’s cultural decline and the murder of 56 million innocent babies shouldn’t have any commentary from the religious sidelines?
To top it off, the Pro-Life Family Movement discredits themselves again and again. Many conservatives repeat his false claim of being pro-life including Ann Coulter, saying “Romney governed as a pro-lifer.” Jordan Sekulow through his father’s organization, ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) wrote, “Governor Romney would and still could make a great candidate.” Jay Sekulow is a CNP member. Tony Perkins (CNP) at the Family Research Council says Romney is, “solidly conservative across the board,” and a Focus Action Candidate Commentary video from Focus on the Family(CNP) shockingly agrees with Romney that, “on the social issues we are so similar.” Remember, these groups are members of the secretive Council for National Policy and nearly all are UN-NGO’s. As UN-non governmental organizations, they must agree with the planks of the Marxist UN to get NGO status.
These groups and people say all this of a man who
- funded abortion statewide through taxpayer monies
- opposed a Massachusetts Defense of Marriage Constitutional amendment
- said homosexuals should be allowed in the boy scouts
- officially celebrated “Gay-Straight Youth Pride Day”
- sat on the board of directors for a leading purveyor of pornography without opposing the corporation’s exploitation of women
- instituted homosexual marriage
- was ahead of Barack Obama in promoting government controlled health care.
Willard Mitt Romney states, “On every piece of legislation, I came down on the side of life.”
Gay Rights and Marriage
When Romney ran against Ted Kennedy for Senator in 1994, he wrote a letter to the Log Cabin Republicans stating, “We must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern.” Romney also stated in 2002 that “All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of their sexual orientation.” Willard said that domestic partnership status should be recognized in a way that includes the potential for health benefits and rights of survivorship. Most companies today give health benefits to homosexual partners. One of the first was the conservative company of Colorado, Coors Beer while their backyard neighbor and fellow Council for National Policy member James Dobson of Focus on the Family railed against one of the airlines for giving health benefits to homosexual partners.
Romney also supported hate crimes legislation during his campaign for governor. In 2002, Romney also opposed a Massachusetts constitutional amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage and domestic partnerships because the amendment would have prohibited domestic partnership benefits for gays and lesbians.
- supported Bill Clinton’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and thinks it worked and shouldn’t be changed.
- boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten.
- opposes a ban on homosexual scoutmasters.
- forced Catholic Charities, the nation’s #1 adoption and foster care service to place children with same sex couples even though he was under no legal obligation to do so.
- passed over Republican lawyers for three quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he faced and nominated two open homosexuals.
- supports passage at the state level of the Employment non-discrimination Act which would force churches and other religious organizations to hire homosexuals and transvestites or face criminal fines and prosecution.
Global Warming/Climate Change and Cap and Trade
On CBS with Katy Couric in February, 2009, Romney said this, “I think the risks of climate change are real. And that you’re seeing real climate change. And I think human activity is contributing to it. I would develop within this country sources of energy which would allow us to be free of foreign oil. But sources that don’t emit CO2.”
“I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that,” he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.”
Romney supports regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through voluntary measure. He would eliminate “dirty” coal power plants even at the cost of losing jobs because he believes coal plants kill people.
Illegal Aliens and Amnesty
Although Romney says he’s against amnesty for illegal aliens, he also says, “I don’t believe in rounding up 11 million people and forcing them at gunpoint from our country.” (Willard, it’s probably more like 40 or 50 million people here illegally and according to FBI statistics they murder 25 American citizens per day!) Willard says he would like to see illegal immigrants register with the government, pay taxes, and apply for citizenship. What? How about entering the country the way all our ancestors did? How about coming into this country legally? Does Willard have any idea of how many “other types” are crossing the border so easily?
Education
Romney supported the infamous, No Child Left Behind, as well as the federal government’s involvement in education. See Char Iserbyt’s article on same. He approved efforts in Massachusetts to REQUIRE parents in poorly performing schools to attend parental education classes. He also is for Charter Schools. See education expert, Char Iserbyt’s article on Charter Schools.
Second Amendment
Willard Romney has stated in past campaigns that he is a proponent of gun control and fully supports a ban on assault weapons. He enacted a ban in Massachusetts on many so called “military style assault weapons.” Romney stated, “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.” Sorry Willard, but you don’t know squat about firearms, nor do you understand that the second amendment is the very teeth of the Bill of Rights. And you don’t even own a gun!
In 1994, Willard also supported the Brady Bill. The Center for Handgun Violence which is Sarah Brady’s organization, is responsible for countless lawsuits against manufacturers and various state firearm laws. They are rabid anti-gunners, as obviously is Willard Mitt Romney.
Sustainable Development and Agenda 21
In 2004, as part of Willard’s goal to adopt a strategic approach to “land protection” in Massachusetts, he launched a plan to help cities and towns adopt “smart growth” policies that foster sustainable development. He stated that he wanted a more coordinated approach to “land conservation,” involving housing, environmental and transportation agencies.
As I mentioned in my previous article on Newt Gingrich, federal or state land grabs under the guise of sustainability are wholly unconstitutional. However, once again, elimination of land by the federal or state governments when it belongs to the people, is fully a plank of the communist manifesto.
Conclusions
Obviously Willard Mitt Romney is no conservative. His stances on issues are tainted with communist tenets, and I’ve only covered a few of them. Why then do people who claim to be “conservatives” and “Christians,” like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Hugh Hewitt, Mark DeMoss, Richard Land, Stu Epperson, Jay Sekulow, Jim Dobson, Tom Minnery, and Tony Perkins, claim that he’s a conservative?
Sadly, we are dealing with many false friends of the constitution and what I call “controlled” opposition to the communist agenda.
Mitt Romney is more like his fellow Mormon, Harry Reid rather than the famous conservative Mormon, Glenn Beck. Of course Beck backed Willard for President and I would guess he backed him because they are both Mormons, just like many of the black electorate voted for Obama because he was the first so-called black American president.
The above facts regarding Romney’s platforms change depending upon which group he is speaking to and whether they’re liberal or conservative. However, his actions in Massachusetts as governor speak volumes about what Romney really stands for and it’s certainly not the constitution…more like the communist agenda.
His religion is difficult inasmuch as his great-grandparents were polygamists, and up until the 1960s the Mormon church disallowed black Americans in their membership in wards, stakes, or meeting houses, much less the Temple. The mere fact that Willard believes that when he dies he’ll ascend to becoming a god like Jehovah who will rule over a world like ours is enough to reject him as presidential fodder. Yes, I’ve known some wonderful Mormons in my life, but don’t bother to write and tell me this isn’t true or tell me all about Mormons. In my impetuous and misspent youth I was married to a Mormon.
We’ve many other candidates, many with far less communist tenets than Newt or Willard, but none that are really solid true constitutionalists. We’ll discuss them in the next article.
Proverbs 12:20 – Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.

THE PHONY RIGHTWING
AND WHO IS SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER
Part 2
Newt Gingrich and THE THIRD WAVE
Okay, so we’ve gone over what Newt has done in the past, and part of what he stands for, but we haven’t touched at all on his belief in Alvin and Heidi Toffler’s THE THIRD WAVE. To make it quite clear, Toffler’s beliefs are rooted solidly in communism, but dressed up thoroughly in neo-con speak and sprinkled with the tiniest bit of capitalism. This is why so many of our electorate are fooled by the RINOs and why so many of these RINOs go along with the communists in the Democrat party.
In 1994, Newt presented a list of 8 books he wanted everyone to read….first was the Declaration of Independence, second the Federalist Papers, and third was the THIRD WAVE by Alvin Toffler printed by the new age Progress and Freedom Foundation. Alvin Toffler is Newt Gingrich’s mentor, so we need to take a closer look at what Toffler espouses in THE THIRD WAVE. By the way he never mentioned reading the constitution and for good reason. He wants to be rid of it.
Toffler believes mankind is entering a new system. To the founding fathers in his book, he wrote, “For the system of government you fashioned including the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented, a democracy for the 21st century. For this wisdom, above all, I thank Mr. Jefferson who helped create the system that served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced.”
Gingrich, who swore an oath 10 times to uphold and defend the constitution urges with his mentor Toffler, the very death of the American Constitutional system. Gingrich wrote the forward to Toffler’s book, “Creating a New Civilization.” As my friend, Constance Cumbey wrote in her recent article http://newswithviews.com/Cumbey/constance130.htm, the very best information on The Third Wave and Newt Gingrich was written by Steve Farrell. The entire 8 part series is at http://www.themoralliberal.com/2010/01/07/democrats-in-drag-steve-farrell/. If you never do any other reading, print this 8 part series out and read it carefully. It is a picture of what is happening to America. Connie also mentioned in her blog that new Catholic convert Newt (formerly a Southern Baptist) recently spoke at John Hagee’s church in San Antonio.
Apparently Hagee’s staff doesn’t research the backgrounds of their invited speakers and thus has influenced and poisoned thousands with the neo-con rhetoric of Gingrich who is selling the old doctrine of communism.
I am going to quote heavily from Steve Farrell’s article so you will know at least part of what we’re facing with the right’s love of the Third Wave.
“The Third Way/Wave may sound new and innocuous to many, but its founders include such earlier notables as Plato (The Republic), Karl Marx (The Communist Manifesto), and Adolf Hitler (National Socialism), certainly not the best crew for men and women sworn to defend our Constitution and to turn to for inspiration.”
“Plato didn’t call his revolutionary plan for tyranny ‘tyranny.’ Who would? Rather he cloaked every item of revolutionary change in more palatable terms like, ‘justice,’ or ‘the heavenly ideal,’ or ‘the pursuit of the good,’ or ‘the love of truth.’ ” He believed in and practiced double talk just as the politicians on both the left and right do today. “He believed so much in his double talk that he convinced casual readers that they were mulling over a Judeo-Christian appeal to virtue. Virtue, he taught, is whatever sustains or brings about the ideal city. And such an ideal city was his! Communist, through and through.”
Here are the ‘Virtuous’ Aims of Plato’s Third Wave
1. Private property must be abolished, the wealthy hated and their wealth redistributed by state mandate.
2. Children belong to, and are born to serve the state. The influence of parents is noxious and disruptive to the interest of the state, thus every child should be raised in government nurseries, without knowledge of who his or her parents are and without the parents having knowledge of who their offspring are. Every child becomes the common property of every parent in the city. Every parent has the collective duty to watch over them. (Hillary Clinton’s, It takes a Village)
3. Private education, like traditional parenting, is at the very headwaters of falsehood and social strife. It must be eliminated and replaced with a closely monitored state school system.
4. Old values passed down in history, song, children’s books, all need to be rewritten to discredit and erase the old virtues and to exalt and enthrone the new.
5. Frivolous children’s games eliminated, new games developed that emphasize law and order.
6. Private industry is self serving. State should have absolute control of all industry for benefit of the whole.
7. Class mobility is a revolutionary idea that threatens the stability of the state and the pre-eminence of true philosophy. A strict caste system and the elimination of career choice is the answer.
8. Talent must never be allowed to wander or be wasted. Early on, children must be identified and channeled by the state for the benefit of the state into careers selected by the state.
9. Under the guise of equality, women ought to be exploited: first to foment ‘class war’ during the Third Wave (women’s roles are reversed to men’s); next, to be promptly put into their place as part of a ‘community of women’ to be shared collectively by male guardians.
10. Selective breeding is beneficial to the state (Hitler)
11. Unwanted babies, inferior babies, deformed babies and the adult handicapped are an unnecessary drag on the prosperity and well-being of society. They should be left to die. Unproductive adults, likewise, should be terminated. (Abortion, Obamacare)
12. Homosexuality is morally acceptable and homosexual rape of lower-class males and boys is a right of rulers, guardians and war heroes.
13. Only a few men are foreordained to understand life and higher good…the rest are equivalent of dumb sheep.
14. Absolute loyalty to the government is vital for the success and safety of society. A state sanctioned KGB-like network is an essential good.
15. Wealth is not essential to the safety of the state.
16. Virtue rejects troublemaking democracy (pure or direct democracy) as an end, yet shrewdly identifies it as the quickest, surest route to promoting the communist view of equality of ends.
There are more, but these are the ultimate goals, the communist goals, of Plato’s Third Wave/Third Way and where all this business begins. “Marx, like his forbearers of the 18th century communist cabal known as the Illuminati, invented nothing new. He stole heavily from Plato’s “Republic” without due credit and then “borrowed” heavily from Hegel’s Godless dialectic view of history, Aristotle’s quantum leap view of evolution, and Plato’s cynical conception that the source of all law, morality, and religion is simply the strong and the rich erecting protectionist walls around their property and power.
Hitler’s German national Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi) was another Third Wave setting. Hitler was a bit more advanced in the newer beliefs of the Third Wave. Hitler taught that the masses were dumb and needed a leader, they couldn’t self-rule. Fascism embraces much of Plato and Marx but utilizes different, and perhaps, superior methods of control; –for all the while it lets citizens think they have a safe amount of freedom.”
Just like their talk about decentralization and democracy, Third Way proponents today talk of national “service” (Obama), “Compassionate Conservatism” (Bush), “Faith-Based” subsidies, and moral effective “partnerships” with cash for conversion. (most politicians).
“Gingrich openly calls himself a futurist, which is the study of, and interest in, forecasting or anticipating the future, or theorizing on how to impose controls on events.
Gingrich revealed to Congress that he began working with the Tofflers in the early 1970s on a concept called anticipatory democracy. He says, “For twenty years we (who’s we?) have worked to develop a future-conscious politics and popular understanding that would make it easier for America to make the transition from the Second Wave civilization (the one the founders gave us) –which is clearly dying–to the emerging, but in many ways undefined, Third Wave civilization (Alvin Toffler’s Centrist Utopia).”
The majority of the above statements are directly from Steve Farrell’s wonderful article which I hope you’ll all take the time to read because of its utmost importance in understanding what is happening today with Republicans especially.
Conclusions
Truly we are surrounded in both the left and the right with Communists. Both are adept at hiding the truth of their doctrine in euphemistic language. Some are more bold than others like Newt Gingrich, but nearly all of the GOP candidates and most of our GOP politicians believe in much of what Toffler’s Third Wave represents for this country. As I wrote in my article, WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING, it is the rightwing that is desperately trying to destroy our constitution with a new constitutional convention and don’t believe it when they tell you there are no dangers. The father of our constitution James Madison knew better and voiced a strong concern regarding any call for another convention. The so-called “White Hats” have such pretty speech that they convince the uneducated that they are helping to save the country, when in fact, they are part and parcel of the purposeful destruction. We need to force them to obey the constitution, not destroy or replace it.
I know that all things are in God’s Hands and He has the ultimate control. I also know that the only true thing that will save this country is the preaching of God’s Word. Having said that, we also must stand and fight for what we know is right and defeat the enemies of freedom.
We’ll discuss some of the other GOP candidates for president in the next article.

THE PHONY RIGHTWING
AND WHO IS SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER
Part 1
Newt Gingrich
A couple years ago one of my neighbors asked me to accompany her to a tea party meeting at the Maryville, TN library which is about 25 minutes from Knoxville. I said, “Sure, I’d love to go see what they’re doing.” There were several speakers and most of it was boring classroom beginner’s education for those that were just waking up to the fact that we’ve lost our country. We paid our two dollars and sat in the back of the room. The third speaker’s topic was “Where to go for information.” When they showed pictures of websites of Newt Gingrich and Heritage Foundation and others, I just shook my head and got up and left. I was absolutely appalled that any freedom loving American would send an audience of uneducated people into the hands of those that are worse enemies than the obvious Democrat Marxists. Remember folks, “A false friend IS MORE DANGEROUS than an open enemy.”
For several months I’ve mulled over the thought of exposing everyone they suggested, Newt, Heritage, Koch and a plethora of GOP candidates running for election in 2012 for POTUS. In a previous three part article, SAVING THE REPUBLIC?, I exposed a good deal of the Heritage background, but we will need to revisit and explore more deeply the deception of this allegedly conservative think tank which is anything but a constitutional foundation.
First we’ll start with Newt who masquerades as a rightwing conservative but is one of the most dangerous enemies of freedom now hoping to gain the presidency in 2012. Some friends have told me with all the bad press he’s dead in the water, but I saw McCain resurrected, not once but twice to win the primary in the 2008 elections, so we still need to know the truth about Newt.
Gingrich was born in 1943 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A college professor, historian, and author, Gingrich twice ran unsuccessfully for the House before winning a seat in the election of November 1978. He was re-elected ten times, and his activism as a member of the House’s Republican minority eventually enabled him to succeed Dick Cheney as House Minority Whip in 1989. As a co-author of the 1994 Contract with America, Gingrich was in the forefront of the Republican Party’s dramatic success in that year’s Congressional elections and subsequently was elected Speaker of the House.
Newt received a B.A. in history from Emory University in Atlanta in 1965. He received an M.A. in 1968, and then a PhD in modern European history from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1971 At Tulane University he accepted student deferments rather than being drafted to Viet Nam. He experimented with marijuana. He led a campus demonstration defending the school paper’s right to print a photo of a nude faculty member. And in 1968 he campaigned for Nelson Rockefeller.
In 1990 he became a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. If you’ve never read Richard N. Gardner’s April 1974 article in CFR’s World Affairs, Gardner called for an end run around national sovereignty eroding it piece by piece. The CFR was founded in 1921 for world government and eliminating national independence. Henry Kissinger is also a CFR member and actually schooled Newt. Both Gingrich and Kissinger claim they’re conservatives.
Gingrich has been married three times. In 1962, he married his first wife, Jackie Battley, who was 6 years his senior and his high school geometry teacher. In the spring of 1980, Gingrich left Battley after having an affair with Marianne Ginther. According to Battley, Gingrich visited her while she was in the hospital recovering from uterine cancer surgery to discuss the details of their divorce. Six months after the divorce was final, Gingrich wed Marianne Ginther in 1981. In the mid-1990s, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, who is 23 years his junior. They continued their affair during the Lewinsky scandal, when Gingrich was a leader of the Republican investigation of President Clinton for perjury in connection with his alleged affairs with Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky. In 1999, over the Mother’s Day weekend and on the same day his second wife had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Gingrich informed her he had found someone else.
In 2000, Gingrich married Bisek shortly after his divorce from second wife Ginther. He and Callista currently live in McLean, Virginia. If I were Callista, I’d take extremely good care of my health.
Newt was elected congressman from Georgia in 1978. In 1979 he voted
1. YEA to the creation of the Department of Education, which is unconstitutional (William Z. Foster called for a federal Department of Education in his book, “Towards Soviet America.”) Studies were to be cleansed of religious, patriotic and other features of the ‘bourgeois’ ideology. Students were to be taught basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, inter nationalism and general ethics of the new Socialist Society. See any articles by Charlotte Iserbyt at http://newswithviews.com/iserbyt/iserbyta.htm
2. YEA to designating 68 million acres as Federal protected wilderness. Our constitution doesn’t call for any land “control,” but the communist manifesto calls for all abolition of property and land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. Federal Land grabs today are huge percentages of the 13 western states that are now federally owned.
Note: The communist manifesto wants:
1. Land controls
2. Progressive Income Tax
3.Termination of Inheritance
4. Central Bank which is the Federal Reserve
5. Control of Education
In 1994 Newt voted:
1. YEA to the National Endowment for the Arts
2. YEA for 1.2 billion for UN peacekeeping
3. YEA for the presidential line item veto
4. YEA for 13 billion in foreign aid
5. YEA for 166 million more for the IRS
6. Led Congress into GATT with fellow CFR member Bill Clinton and then stated that it was a very big transfer of power. It was, because it overrode Article 1, Section 8 of the constitution. As well, GATT reduces the amount of money we can save for pensions. He jawed with President Clinton in NH that he was a huge fan of FDR and Woodrow Wilson, two of the most despised early communist leaning presidents. Remember Wilson gave us both the federal reserve and the 16th amendment, income tax.
He also voted:
1. China as Most Favored Nation for trade
2. Voted to supply funds to subsidize trade with the Soviets.
3. Voted to transfer 2.2 million acres in Idaho to Wilderness status.
4. Voted for federal funding loan guarantees for greater trade with Red China.
5. Voted for taxpayer funds being available to foreign governments through export/import banks.
6. Is pro amnesty – Joe Galloway wrote in December 2010 that both Newt and Jeb Bush were pro-amnesty. Gingrich stated, “We are not going to deport 11 million immigrants.” How about 40 million Newt…send them home, they’re an invasion!
7. Is pro foreign aid. In 1995 he voted for 31.8 billion in foreign aid, but wouldn’t vote to cut foreign aid by a measly 1%.
Newt also backed a strong central government, strong environmental laws, national service programs, the United Nations Goals 2000 (which many Republicans voted for), federal financing of local police, and UN peacekeeping missions for our military.
8. Gingrich is pro-Obamacare and even advocated it in the 90s on Meet the Press, and recently: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-05-16/news/bal-mandatory-health-insurance-a-growing-number-of-gop-candidates-are-ok-with-it-20110516_1_insurance-mandate-health-insurance-health-care
9. He did a Global Warming ad with Nancy Pelosi that is coming back to haunt him, but in reality, he is a big environmentalist. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/12/gingrich-feels-heat-global-warming-ad-pelosi/
10. Is pro-Gun Control – Newt is currently circulating a letter advertising a DVD called: “America at Risk” for which you may obtain a copy if you send him $35.00 or more. On page 3 of his six-page letter he says: “Today the choice is yours: You can either sit back and allow Barack Obama and the liberal elite to disarm our country, leaving us defenseless against enemies who explicitly desire to erase America from existence.”
Yet, if you check on the voting list of those who voted “yea” on Public Law 101-216 (http://www.libertygunrights.com/PublicLaw101-216.pdf) in 1989 (an update to the General and Complete Disarmament Law, Public Law 87-297) you will find that Newt Gingrich voted in favor of section 2 of this disarmament bill which reads:
“(2) as defined in this Act, the terms ‘arms control’ and ‘disarmament’ mean ‘the identification, verification, inspection, limitation, control, reduction, or elimination, of armed forces and armaments of all kinds under international agreement to establish an effective system of international control’;”
Should we trust a man who professes to be so concerned with our security and right to have armed forces, who also votes to give them away to the United Nations for a world army? The last thing we need is someone who professes to protect us, while at the same time, is planning to sell us out! See Bernadine Smith’s website for countless documents: http://www.liberty gunrights.com/
Newt’s campaign manager for many of his congressional races, was Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition and a charter member of the secretive Council for National Policy. Ralph was a paid speaker like many of his fellow CNP members for Sun Myung Moon’s Unification church who has a front group within the CNP. Reed took money from fellow CNP member, Jack Abramoff’s American Indian casino clients through a variety of conduits and manipulated Christian groups to act as fronts to oppose gambling competition for the tribes. He helped Abramoff oppose legislation to extend protections to women and children employed by sweatshops in the Northern Mariana Islands, despite the fact that our government had reported that the employers forced employees to enter the sex-tourism trade. When these immigrant workers inevitably became pregnant, they were forced to have abortions.

AMERICAN CITIZENS AS GUINEA PIGS
Part 9
Health Care Harm
Health care mistakes are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. A landmark 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine showed that 100,000 deaths occur in the US each year as a result of health care harm. A 2007 CDC Control report said that an additional 99,000 people die annually from hospital-acquired infections.
There have been more than 80 reported deaths in the United States linked to the use of contaminated Heparin (produced by Baxter International). Most of the deaths occurred among patients that were administrated with a contaminated batch of Baxter Heparin supplied by a Chinese facility. The contaminated Heparin caused a severe allergic reaction that led to many deaths. In February 2008, Baxter International recalled their entire Heparin supply.
In April of 2008 I traveled to Seattle, Washington to see renowned Thoracic and Esophageal surgeon, Dr. Ralph Aye. He performed the Hill Posterior Gastropexy on me, which is a surgery to correct severe acid reflux. It is not the more common surgery called a Nissen Fundoplication done by most general surgeon. The Hill requires a more skilled surgeon and is done laparoscopically. I spent only 24 hours in the hospital and had few if any side effects during the 6 week recovery. During the night of my 24 hour stay, the nurse came in three times to give me a shot of Heparin. Because my husband and I were well aware of the dangers of Baxter Heparin, we made sure that was not what the nurse was administering. Let me say that Swedish Medical Center was the finest facility I have ever been in and the care was top rate. I’ve been well ever since, thanks to Dr. Aye’s surgical skill. Sadly this is not the case in all healthcare facilities.
On the afternoon of November 17, 2007 actor Dennis Quaid and his wife noticed a sore on their twin son’s umbilical cord. Their daughter had a similar irritation on one of her fingers. The couple’s pediatrician sent them to Cedars-Sinai. (Remember I wrote about Cedars-Sinai and CT scans in Part 8 of this series.) Both children, only 12 days old, were diagnosed with staph. The parents would not leave their children’s sides. They even watched the next morning as a nurse dispensed a substance into their IVs. She explained that it was Hep-Lock, routinely used to prevent blood clots at IV sites. Without knowing it the new parents had just witnessed the first of two massive overdoses of heparin, another being given several hours later when the IV bags were changed. Finally that night the exhausted parents went home to rest. At 6 a.m. the next morning when they returned to Cedars-Sinai, they learned of the overdose. They rushed to their children and were intercepted by representatives from the risk-management division of Cedars-Sinai. The hospital was of course worried about liability rather than the health and welfare of the children. It outraged Quaid and his wife.
When they later looked into the frequency of medical errors, they learned that U.S. hospitals (and probably around the world) are not required to publically report errors, and that caregivers often conceal mistakes to avoid malpractice lawsuits.
Cal Sheridan, now 15, was insufficiently treated for jaundice as an infant and now suffers from a plethora of illnesses — cerebral palsy and auditory and vision impairment. Four years after Cal failed to be properly treated, his father, Patrick, was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor; a follow-up pathology report indicating that the tumor was malignant was misfiled and Patrick, late to begin treatment, lost his battle with cancer in 2002. Cal’s mother, Sue Sheridan now heads up two non-profit organizations to address medical errors.
But back to the Quaid children. After launching an investigation in how the overdose to the twins happened, Quaid learned that the nurses had twice mistakenly given each infant a 10,000 unit dose of heparin, used to treat illnesses in adults, instead of the similarly packaged 10 unit dose called Hep-Lock, appropriate for use in IVs for infants. Three infants at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis had died a year earlier from the exact same overdose. I know Methodist well as my daughter was treated there as a young girl.
Baxter soon changed how it packaged the two dosages. Instead of being identical in size and similar in color, the higher dose would now carry an orange label and warning. However, the company FAILED TO RECALL THE EXISTING BOTTLES! As Quaid said, “Companies recall dog food! Why weren’t they recalled?”
Yes, the Quaids have sued Baxter for negligence and the case is pending. As for Cedars-Sinai, the hospital agreed to make changes to prevent an overdose from occurring again. As part of the settlement with the Quaids, Cedars spent millions on electronic record keeping, bedside bar coding, computerized physician order entry systems. So, the Quaids are happy with this result. I wonder if they know about the 200 patients that received 8 times the normal dosage levels in CT scans at Cedars-Sinai.
The medical system has played a large role in undermining the health of Americans. According to several research studies in the last decade, a total of 225,000 Americans per year have died as a result of their medical treatments:
• 12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery
• 7000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals
• 106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs
Thus, America’s healthcare-system-induced deaths are the third leading cause of the death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer.
Medical mistakes seem to be a leading cause of death because most physicians and dentists are so rushed to see a certain number of patients in a day, that they rarely take time to read a patient’s full chart. The only physician that ever read all 50 some pages of my medical history (I keep my own history on my computer) was Dr. Aye of Swedish Medical Center. It really didn’t used to be like this.
A 15 year old autistic boy, Michael Blankenship, was brought into the dental clinic in a hospital that specialized in treating children. When Michael was discharged the hospital’s chief pediatric dentist made a fatal mistake. She prescribed a Fentanyl “pain patch” because Michael’s mother informed the hospital that her son could not, or would not, ingest oral medication due to his autism. This fact had also been recorded in Michael’s chart years earlier. The pharmacist that filled the script failed to catch the error as well. That evening, Michael’s mother put the patch on her son at bedtime. Michael was found dead the next morning. The Fentanyl patch delivered so much of the narcotic to Michael’s system that it caused respiratory arrest and this caused his death.
The FDA has been warning since 2005 against misuse of the patch system, which was designed for use only by patients who have developed a tolerance for opium-derived painkillers such as morphine. In a recent public health advisory, the agency warned against prescribing the patch in circumstances identical to those that Blankenship found himself in. Michael had never ever been exposed to narcotics. One would think a script for a liquid painkiller would have been much more appropriate for a tooth extraction.
The FDA, according to the statement, “continues to receive reports of death and life-threatening side effects in patients who use the Fentanyl patch.”
“The reports indicate that doctors have inappropriately prescribed the Fentanyl patch to patients for acute pain following surgery, for headaches, occasional or mild pain, and other indications for which a Fentanyl patch should not be prescribed,” the warning’s authors said, according to the FDA Web site.
In Blankenship’s case, he was given a patch designed to release 100 micrograms of the drug per hour — which was the maximum dose available. His dentists, according to the allegations, had not previously prescribed the drug to any of their patients.
There are countless stories like this that are simply heartbreaking. One thing I’ve learned before taking any prescribed medication is to check out the side effects and any negative reactions with other medications. As well, we can check the physicians and the hospitals. One of the 20 or so questions I asked Dr. Aye in our phone consult prior to traveling to Seattle was what the infection rate was at Swedish Medical for Staph, MRSA, Clostridium Difficile Colitis, etc. etc. ad nauseum. I was pleased with the answer. You will find however, that in today’s hospitals, the doctors and surgeons will readily tell you to go home as quickly as possible in order to stay well.
There are many reasons for mistakes and for infections from hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other health care facilities, but with the advent of the unstoppable Obama care, we all need to be our own best advocates for all facets of our health care.
And one last point, the horrible mistake that happened to the Quaid children leaked out to the media. Hundreds of thousands of people prayed for the 12 day old twins. Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly openly admit that those prayers saved their children. God does answer prayers.

Time Flew By!
Wow, I haven’t added anything for quite a while! I guess the press of the holidays into the preparation and joy of my son’s wedding… I have gained a wonderful new daughter!! Then getting back into the stride of work and my activities with the kid’s ministry at church… I am almost caught up with myself.
Some things in life create momentary craziness but are soooo, worth it!! February was a month of that- my son got married at the end of the month so right after Christmas the preparation phase for that event went from a gentle pace to the more intensely focused press. At times like that it is very important to not get so wrapped up in the prep and planning that you forget to enjoy the joy of the event!! Thanks planning, preparation, and also to a wonderful network of friends and family, the wedding was beautiful and the newly married couple… PRICELESS!!
I couldn’t be a prouder mom at this point these kids did it all right! They began courting just over a year ago… yes I said courting. They were good friends who had met at church and had common interests, and my son felt that he wanted to see if there was something more… so they began to court, time together was spent in the presence of others so that temptations to other things would be avoided. In June my son, who is in the Air Force stationed in Alaska, called the Pastor of our church and asked how he and his lovely girlfriend could go through the pre-marriage counseling program with an elder couple from our church because that is where they wanted to get married when the time arrived. So they were given the go-ahead to go through the program via Skype.
In September they became engaged and the planning began. So using all the advantages that modern technology provides we were able to plan a wedding with the couple in Alaska, her family in CO and me, OR. It was a learning experience but with communications in the form of phone calls, email, instant messages, and Facebook, well we got it done!
When the happy couple kissed for the very first time at the alter… yes first kiss-EVER, it was sooo wonderful and beautiful. I couldn’t ask for a better ‘help-mate’ suitable for my son, and addition to our family. She’s a perfect fit and the two families meshed really well, we enjoyed some getting acquainted time during a dinner of spaghetti in the family room of our home. During this we discovered a lot of common grounds and even people… turns out the father and uncle of the bride know my aunt in CO… who’d have thought?
Okay so enough of my ramblings, it was a crazy, busy and wonderful winter! So on into spring which as I look out the window I see that the sun has emerged as have the blooms of spring and it reminds me, time does fly.
I will be getting a new post up in the next few days sharing about my next adventure… something that will help you to save money, my new website and blog at savingwithjoy.com.
Have a great day!!! Happy Spring!!
Blessings, Prariemouse
