In America, Are Billionaires Born or Made?

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/106866/Billionaire-Clusters

Are billionaires born or made?

First, let me be clear. I believe in Capitalism 100%. But in America, The Land of Opportunity, does Capitalism really exist and did it ever, really?

According to history and as it repeats itself, Billionaires, in this country at least, are often made off the backs of the unsuspecting and from taxpayer subsidies. Just why do you think this country doesn’t teach people how to handle money in this government system they pass off as education? Maybe Henry Ford best answered that question with “If people understood how money works, there would be uprising by tomorrow morning.” That was nearly, if not, a century ago. As the “establishment” continues to work it’s magic dumbing down the population in so many various ways, there’s been no revolution or even revelation since the founding of this country.

Now, get ready for the newest “establishment” switch-a-(FU)roo, with a global currency to not only confuse the masses (again) but to gain complete control.

Will America survive as Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?

 

A Patriot’s Prayer

If our GOD given rights to liberty and freedom, which were the foundation upon which this nation was created do not exist, and liberty and freedom is only an illusion under which the American people suffer, then let the governments of this nation come forward and tell the people. But…if we are indeed free, then we should not have to plead or beg before our elected public servants to be treated as such. If, in truth we are not free, then perhaps it’s time to let the final chapter of the Great American Revolution be written……….
Thank you Strawman for this contribution.

National Constitutional Convention

The below article was written just over one and half years ago. Looks like it’s time to brush it off and bring it back out. I guess this idea has been gaining momentum since that time and it certainly goes to show how the enemies of this country work and strive with due dilligence and patience toward the ruination of our beloved country and our freedom. Thanks again to Nuke for this wise and insightful article. He made some excellent points which this editor feels are important to repost and remind “We the people” about. After conversations like this with Nuke and others, including Ron Paul’s position,  I’ve come to realize how dangerous and risky such an action would be, I am not a “friend” of such an action and do not endorse it in any form.

June 6, 2007

This is in response to the FYI item in “What will you do for freedom?”

It’s probably fair to say that nearly everyone in the country is upset with some aspect of how it’s being run. So in the past couple hundred years, one answer has been to amend the Constitution. Some have given rights to people originally not entitled to them: women, negroes, 18-year-olds. Some have taken rights away, only to be again overturned, such as drinking alcohol. Some have directly changed the intent of the Founding Fathers: election of the President and Vice-President, direct election of Senators, and the establishment of the income tax (someone more knowledgeable than I can argue whether that really occurred). Some want to make an amendment to prohibit flag burning and to define marriage.

Being somewhat of a purist, I don’t really like to see the Constitution being modified except when necessary. If the Founders thought that drinking (or not drinking) was a Federal issue, I’m pretty sure that they would have said so. The same goes for flag burning and marriage.

Back in the 1980’s and maybe early 1990’s there were calls for a second Constitutional Convention to be held, with different groups proposing different reasons. Now we are seeing a return of these proposals by (I presume) different groups for different stated reasons.

In my humble opinion, this is not a good idea. I say that not only because I don’t want to see the Constitution drastically changed (although a repeal of some Amendments would be great!), but because there is a hidden danger.

Let’s do a quick history review.

In 1786 the country was operating under the Articles of Confederation. The Federal Government was weak and fairly ineffective in solving differences between the states. So a convention was called in Annapolis to determine how to strengthen the Articles. Only a few states showed up, but they agreed that it was necessary to make this happen. So they drafted a proposal that called for them to meet the following year in Philadelphia “to take into consideration the situation of the United States, to devise such further provisions as shall appear to them necessary to render the constitution of the Federal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union“.

Six states agreed to the meeting, but the others were skeptical because it had not been officially called for by the Confederate Congress. It then authorized: “A Convention of delegates should meet ‘for the sole purpose of revising the articles of Confederation and reporting to Congress and the several legislatures such alterations and provisions therein as shall, when agreed to in Congress and confirmed by the States, render the federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union.‘ ” [empahasis added]  Six more states then signed on, and the Convention took place.

But once the Convention started, the doors were locked, the windows shut, and the talk was not of reforming the Articles, but of writing a new Constitution.  Yes, what they came up with was good, but to many historians, they had gone far beyond their authorization.

Now, back to the present.

Once a second Convention is started, it will assuredly be held in secret also.  But the people attending this one won’t be Washington, Madison, and Hamilton.  It will be Kennedy, McCain, and Bush (or substitute three of your own choices).  And the politicians that will vote yea or nay on the adoption of it are the same ones that we’re complaining about already.  Why would we trust them with shredding the only document that still holds our country together and replacing it with who-knows-what?

I strongly believe that convening a second Constitutional Convention is opening a Pandora’s Box.

Prohibition on Pure and Natural Products?

Research the naturally grown plant Stevia for just one example of how far government and big business will go to keep control of what “the People” can and cannot be privy. If you don’t already know government, big pharma, is trying to take control of vitamin supplements too. So if you think Alex Jones Info Wars is pushing hype about the coming perils to health food store owners, you better check out how farmers are being persecuted for selling pure, unadulterated milk and draw the parallel before dismissing it! Rogue government wants total control! Surely, we couldn’t have “the People” discover (after they’ve so successfully brainwashed and dumbed us down) that there is healing power in nature, foods, vitamins, ya think? Good grief, no! Big pharma can’t make money if people aren’t ill!!

When chocolate (the cocoa bean) was first discovered it was so controlled that only the wealthy could indulge. Despite the bean literally grows on trees access to this delightful and decadent treat was deliberately withheld from the hoi polloi. Stories such as these are as ancient as time and so are true conspiracies. Don’t be fooled into believing they are only “theories”, these conspiracies are very real “truths”.

Thanks Harold for finding this story and Melissa for the follow up links. I’m happy to see this is finally getting more exposure and Daily Kos actually reporting how the state is persecuting the Amish and Mennonite farmers. Every other local farmer will soon also become targets…first they came for the communists…) This is nothing but prohibition on natural products so the state—government can take more than their fair share of revenue. If the People are not very careful they will have nothing left from their products, service and labor. Or are we already past that point with the recent looting from the bailouts?

Everyone who thought “certified” organic was such a great idea? It’s nothing but an excuse for government to take more money and control. I hope everyone who was so excited about government once again acting like their mommy has bought some of these dirty, poor quality and more expensive food items. Personally, I’m damned tired of government’s looting, pirating and inferior service.

Is Obama a natural born citizen?

 

At least before the 2004 presidential administrative term, whoever would have imagined an American citizen, living in the United States, might feel intimidated about expressing their first amendment rights to freedom of speech? In 2006 I was outraged to read stories about people being arrested for expressing disagreement to VP Cheney about his position/policy on the war in Iraq. Today, people are being intimidated by the FBI for simply uttering  Barack “Hussein” Obama’s middle name? How much worse is that?

 

I think to help “the one” overcome his obvious phobia about his middle name he should have used his full name on his campaign yard signs…for that matter, maybe his campaign should go out now and post instead of “yes we can”, “Yes I am” (a citizen) on all those yard signs all over America, so the suspecting public can rest assured in lieu of a bonafide birth certificate, Obama’s assurances that he is Constitutionally qualified to be a candidate for President of the United States of America.

 

The FBI and many other legal entities seem to be working double time in police actions for Obama and we aren’t even at election day yet, where does this power and clout come from to incite such, including Federal intimidation against innocent people? What will this country become under that kind of influence if he were to win the election?

 

I am completely convinced Obama is not constitutionally qualified to be a candidate for President of the United States of America. If the man was eligible, he would provide the proof, post haste. This is going to be the biggest fraud against American’s since the mandatory continuance of the “voluntary” income, and those who are in position to stop this criminal atrocity seem to be ignoring it.

 

God help US all if our lawmakers are completely turning their backs on the supreme law of our nation.

Are your opportunities, income and savings greater or fewer than your parents were 20, even 10 years ago?

OBAMA ACTION ALERT  Read the following excerpt from a Devvy Kidd article. Follow the instructions! File the paperwork! And call your mainstream media contacts, locally, and ask them why they are not reporting this news to the public. Ask them if they’re aware of the information. Ask them if they are deliberately helping perpetrate fraud against the American public by not reporting this news.   By: Devvy October 23, 2008 © 2008 – NewsWithViews.com Obama must be declared ineligible to run by all 50 states I live in the real world and as I have written repeatedly: Barack Hussein Obama must not become president of this country. He is a stinking Marxist hiding behind the cloak of ‘progressive’ and liberal. Phil Berg, former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania; former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County; former member of Democratic State Committee with an active practice in Philadelphia, PA, filed a lawsuit on August 21, 2008, challenging Obama’s eligibility to run for president based on citizenship. On October 9, 2008, another lawsuit was filed in Washington State by Steven Marquis of Fall City. The details are here. This suit was filed on the same grounds: Obama is not a U.S. citizen and is not eligible to be on the ballot in any of the 50 states. On October 21, 2008, an announcement was made: Obama would take off a couple days from his campaign to visit his sick grandma in Hawaii. Coincidental timing New Lawsuit requires Obama’s presence in Hawaii: Martin vs Obama “(HONOLULU, HI)(October 18, 2008) The leader of the national anti-Obama movement, legendary Chicago Internet columnist and Obama author Andy Martin, will hold a Honolulu news conference Saturday, October 18 to announce that he has filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, Honolulu, seeking to order the Governor and Director of the Hawai’i Department of Health release Barack Obama’s birth records.” October 21, 2008: Martin files an Emergency Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Supreme Court in Hawaii. Obama’s grandma was ailing earlier this year. Instead of going to visit her, Obama and the family opted to head to the beaches in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Is this just a coincidence that Obama, who hasn’t visited grandma in well over a year, decides he must rush to her bedside with the Martin legal proceedings heating up? The question of Obama’s eligibility to run for president is a valid, constitutional issue. These lawsuits should be getting mass coverage by all media since it is of the highest concern. Obama’s thugs, the FEC and the DNC have gone to extraordinary lengths to fight Berg’s lawsuit. However, a very important legal date expired October 15, 2008. Obama, et al, did NOT respond to Berg’s ‘Requests for Admissions.’ What is that? A discovery procedure, authorized by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the court rules of many states, in which one party asks an opposing party to admit that certain facts are true. If the opponent admits the facts or fails to respond in a timely manner, the facts will be deemed true for purposes of trial. A request for admission is called a “request to admit” in many states. See: “One of the most serious consequences of failing to respond to requests for admission is that the requests are “deemed admitted,” and you will be unable to dispute those matters at trial. Worse yet, you may never get to trial if those admissions warrant the entry of summary judgment in your opponent’s favor.” Berg filed for a trial on October 21, 2008. The complete details and filings are found on Phil’s web site. Obama has steadfastly refused to supply a verifiable birth certificate. By refusing to answer the ‘Requests for Admissions,’ Obama is admitting the facts alleged in Phil’s lawsuit to be true. What is to be done? The federal judge in this case is on as very hot seat here. If he upholds the law, he must declare Obama NOT eligible to appear on any ballot for the office of president. The question is: Does R. Barclay Surrick have the guts? Surrick is a Clinton appointee. What can we do? If Obama could prove citizenship, he would have done so with ease two months ago. Obama has not produced a ‘vault’ birth certificate. (Short video- 2,457,585 views to date). The copy he provided appears to be a forgery. Two days ago I faxed a short letter to my Secretary of State, our state Attorney General and my county clerk with a copy of Phil’s press release and the legal explanation of defaulting on a requests for admissions. It didn’t take me 15 minutes. I hope you will do the same as soon as possible. If Secretary’s of State in all 50 states get millions of demands that Obama be declared ineligible to be on the ballot, I guarantee you, this will break national news. It’s too late to reprint the ballots and with Judge Surrick sitting on his newly developed hemorrhoids, the states would only be able to use public address announcements and a short statement handed to every voter that a vote for Obama will NOT be counted. A reader emailed me yesterday. He notified his Secretary of State about the eligibility problem and Phil’s lawsuit. The response: It’s not up to the state to determine eligibility. Bull feathers! If Obama knowingly allows himself to be appear on any state ballot when he knows he is ineligible, he is committing fraud on the state. The state has a responsibility to make sure only eligible candidates appear on the ballot. Are we going to allow another election to be stolen by this cheap Chicago hustler? This isn’t about race, it’s about the U.S. Constitution. Phil’s web site has received more than 50 MILLION hits. If only 10% of everyone who has read about his lawsuit does what I suggest above, we will drown these elected officials into getting off their corrupt backsides and doing what is right. When they get enough of these faxes, you can bet they will be on the phone in a heart beat to their lawyers, i.e., the state Attorney General. This takes man power on the ground. Phil Berg has taken this on with little money. We need to back up his efforts. Make it happen. Either the law means something in this country or it doesn’t. Don’t use email. Fax a hard copy to your Secretary of State, Attorney General and county clerk. There’s also the matter of Martin’s emergency writ in Hawaii in their supreme court. Due to the time constraints and urgency of the matter, that court should move sooner rather than later. Law enforcement are gearing up for riots, something a whole lot of us have been aware of for some time. Why? Because a mulatto might be elected (via vote fraud) and if he isn’t, violence is possible”…in cities with large black populations.” In other words, if one particular race of voters don’t get their choice, they might burn their own neighborhoods, or yours, to the ground. I sincerely pray none of this materializes, but people should be aware in the event a worst case scenario unfolds.

The People Protest AIG Bailouts

Over the last few days The People have called, faxed and emailed their opposition to the governments latest attempt for corporate welfare.

But there hasn’t been much said about the Fannie/Freddie bailout that was slipped right by the people and congress. No debate, no vote. How constitutional is that? Did Bush write another Executive Order to cover this dictatorial power too?

Obama sued. Is he a US citizen?

Barry Soetoro, AKA, Barack Obama, sued by Democrat Philadelphia attorney. Is US Senator Obama eligible to be President of these United States of America?

Wonder how long it will take MSM to report this? How long will it take to come up with a good CYA story? Or will they simply stay silent to allow this new socialist arm to slink in and continue the practice of stomping all over The People, thus our Constitution? Will they lie or are we so far gone they will simply make it more clear “they” do not have to abide by any rule of law they wish to ignore? Careful also not to be sidetracked even though this attorney is  a Hillary supporter. MSM and the establishment love to turn, twist and skew and divert our attentions,  perceptions and questions away from truths and real issues. If these rumors and allegations are true, it really shouldn’t matter who exposes it or how handsomely they might benefit from the information. What do you think? How will this one play out?

 I also read recently the courts ruled in McCain’s favor despite violating McCain-Feingold, campaign “reform” law he helped write. Who was this law written for? His competition? For that matter who is any law written for lately? Evidently not anyone currently in government, hu?  And btw, did anyone hear about that in MSM???

What do you think? How will all this play out?

Who dunnit this time? DC Madam just confirmed dead.

Reported to have committed suicide in Tarpon Springs, Florida, the DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfry, who claimed to have had the goods on many of our illustrious political figures, identity was just confirmed.

Suicide? How very convenient! Despite her conviction last week, with the list of high-powered Washington clients she claimed her service had, it’s hard to imagine an ambitious chick like Palfrey would have given up so easily.

In the past a person could protect themselves from high powered thugs by going to the media. Today, mainstream media seems to eat from the same trough as the Washington beaurocrats. I hope Deborah Jeane had the forethought and common sense to make wide distribution of her “list”.
