The People Respect Ron Paul

Cecilia Poole
December 22, 2007

The truly laughable most recent “hit piece” the New York Sun attempted on Ron Paul shows the pure ignorance of the staff writer. Implying Ron Paul or “We the people” would try to “buy Washington’s respect” is just another high handed attempt to try to discredit Ron Paul’s honorable character, his candidacy, his campaign, and “We the people”.  Ron Paul has more respect from accross the spectrum than anyone in Washington, with all their lobbyist’s trillions combined, could ever hope to buy, and they know it.

The NY Sun and other hits, coming much more frequently now, shows “the establishments” obvious desperation about Ron Paul’s surge from 2 recent record breaking fund raisers, each held within 24 hour windows, raising over 10 Million dollars in only 48 hours. Ron Paul’s campaign coffers are over $18 Million for the 4th quarter, and there’s still a full week remaining before the close. Every time I check the site, people’s names are still flashing more donations. It’s 3 days before Christmas and middle class America is suffering one of the worst economies  I’ve seen since the 70’s, yet people are still donating, every minute to the Ron Paul campaign. What does that tell Washington?

The establishment knows this is the end of  their elitist entitlement era syphoned off the backs of the American people. Try as they have to contain, restrain, ignore and delude the American people about Ron Paul’s message of freedom, peace and true prosperity, for all Americans, not just for the elite whose wealth has ballooned 400 times greater than the average American citizen’s, they have failed. Washington’s greatest fears have become a reality; “We the people” have awakened to their lying, scheming, meandering, underhanded methods of keeping us “barefoot and pregnant” by a government system designed to reward only the elite.

They also know that with or without Washington’s or the GOP’s blessing, or even the Republican nomination for Ron Paul, (isn’t the nomination determined by the voters? How can such a bold prediction be made before an election?), they can’t stuff us back in the box now. They’ve never seen anything like this current outbreak from the American people, it’s certainly never occurred by this magnitude during my lifetime. And “they” know, their time has come to an end and they’re watching their house of cards falling in, with a force they know they can’t contain, right on top of them. 

Exuding flagrant arrogance and hypocrisy toward the American public that has become so commonplace from Washington the title of the article taunts; “Ron Paul Can’t Buy Respect”. This slap in the face is not only directed at a man whose impeccable principles and character have been well observed through his lifetime. Honorably serving “the people” for over 20 years in congress by adhering strictly to his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of these United States, which protects the people’s individual rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ourselves and our future generations, not a bloated out of control government that will cluster us into groups, pit us against each other, then play Robin Hood with not only our current livelihoods but for too many generations of our posterity to count. Professionally, as an OB/GYN doctor, Ron Paul has been known to perform his services when necessary as charity, or to work out manageable arrangements with patients in need. Personally, he has been married to the same woman who is apparently the apple of his eye for over 50 years, along with their 5 children and 18 grandchildren. I’m sure Ron Paul’s stellar reputation for consistency in his positions that benefit the American people, whom they can’t find a single credible speck of dirt on, completely confuses and galls their senses.

So they turn their attentions to “We the [many]people” who support him and issue warnings disguised in their pompous ridicule, to anyone more before they dare consider him. This is where the article becomes truly ludicrous; Do “they” honestly believe that “Washington’s respect” would resonate as a “good” thing with the American people? Washington’s corrupt and reprehensible reputation combined with this very type of thumbing nose arrogance toward the people is what helped to wake up our senses and it’s exactly what we are tired of. The 2006 election upset didn’t wake up their senses. The democrat and republican exodus into third parties hasn’t resonated to their understanding. Now they have the audacity to tell the people that by supporting a candidate who represents the interest’s of the average American we are trying, or should even need to try, to buy Washington’s respect?

I have some news for this arrogant establishment, they are the ones who should be working for the respect of the American people. “We the people”, nor Ron Paul are not the ones who succumb to the millions in lobbyist’s money.  Money that is gleaned off the very backs of the American people in one fashion or another. Then used against us in other ways, only to pilfer more again, and again! Washington should be begging for our respect, certainly not bullying us into thinking the money we donate to the campaign of a candidate who is the choice of many of the majority, and growing steadily every day, is some form of a contemptible bribe. But that simply shows how Washington’s collective minds work. They set up a system that only obscene sums of money can buy the publicity required to get a candidate onto their monopolized airwaves. Then when the people meet their requirements in order for more people to hear a different view, “they decide” it just doesn’t matter anyway. This system is obviously designed to squeeze out average America’s view points or anyone who hasn’t succumbed to their one minded agenda. Whether left or right, since the money didn’t come from their special interest lobbyist’s, or fit their corporate, elitist, fascist or socialist agenda, they simply tell you the party’s over! Effectively saying; play by the rules or not, there’s nothing you, that means “We the people” can do to win. As always, they make the rules and can change them on a whim. Just what happened to that Constitutional Democratic Republic designed to protect the people from scams such as this?

So we wonder, why would they take such an attitude? Why would they have such arrogance? Surely there must be some merit, after all, they wouldn’t say it if it weren’t true, would they? They wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t ethical, would they? Then we have to remember that they’ve used this system they’ve so carefully and cleverly crafted against us for years! Ron Paul isn’t the first candidate who has represented the people’s interests and choice that the establishment has so diligently worked to stifle and squeeze out. But he’s surely the one, with the help of the Internet where so many can now learn truth beyond only the propaganda they want us to hear, think and believe, who has stokes the fires in our hearts, minds and souls to look beyond their smoke and mirrors to see the truth. Yet, as usual they turn the true story completely backwards. Are “We the people” trying to buying Washington’s respect? If that were true, with the money they’ve absconded from the citizens of this country “Washington’s respect” should have been bought and paid for many times over, if money is what it takes for Washington to respect it’s constituents. Great inflation, reduced earnings, NAFTA relocating our jobs and industry and high taxation, largely without representation, highlight only a very few of Washington’s Robber Baron abuse against American citizens.

Who in Washington truly represents your interests? This disdain for Ron Paul’s campaign, which is almost entirely a citizens movement, represents a complete upset of their apple cart. They see the fire that’s burning in the hearts and minds of the majority of the American people from this knowledge and they know we just aren’t going to take it anymore. You can imagine they’re more than a little nervous about this loss of control over the citizens who can see so clearly through their lies and deceptions now. If that’s the type of respect they think “We the people” want from Washington, to just keep our heads in the sand, and “just go out shopping” so they can take care of the rest;  Washington, just keep on dreaming. You know it must really frost the boys knowing they CAN’T buy Ron Paul and that he gets more respect without trying than Washington could ever hope to buy.

Highly favorable characteristics of arrogance and audacity is literally sought after, like a requirement, in the elitist’s world when selecting their up and coming superstars. Reference the selection process of the trilateral commission and other elite groups, ie: Rhodes, Yale, etc. It’s an essential trait to maintain a powerful edge over others. Again, I thank George W. Bush for bringing this contemptuous indignant attitude and behavior toward the people to light. But he and his audacious administration doesn’t deserve all the credit, thinking of Bill Clinton, in spite of his quick smile and baiting personality, his wife’s current bid for office, Giuliani’s reign as mayor, several other Presidential candidates, many others within government, which includes mainstream media, (the largest special interest lobby in Washington today), it’s very easy to recall the times and ways of those who brush the people’s interest aside as a one would a mere pesky insect. It’s easy to both remember and see the blatant disregard and complete disrespect for the American public and our intelligence.

Why would we possibly want respect from the corrupt, criminal, contemptuous “Washington” establishment? What gives them the right to demand it from us? Respect is something that must be earned, and they certainly have not tried to earn ours, just once again they are trying to yield something from the American public it has no right to receive.

Quotes in the article from some supposed “who’s who” of Washington reeks with the stench and pure audacity,  of the elite trying to put the “common-folk” back in their place, completely dismissing  the people, dismissing our choices. Effectively saying, you and I, “We the people” don’t count, and yes, further our votes won’t count. Washington will conduct business as usual, regardless. 

Another vain attempt to discredit Ron Paul offered an online venue, asking; “Who are Ron Paul Supporters?”  Itundoubtedly hoped to reveal the “fringe, foul, rude and insane, internet geeks” they’ve so dubbed us. Instead, reading through some of the posts, (far too many to read them all before it closed to new submissions) one quickly discovers the wide and varied descriptions of many intelligent people from all walks of life, who have awakened out of our deep slumbers and united for the cause of liberty. We’re hardly the “fringe” the Washington establishment would like you to believe.

So have you ever wondered why mainstream media doesn’t photograph or show snippets of Ron Paul’s speeches or rallies? We’ve seen Duncan Hunter and John Edwards in their blue jeans talking with people at barbeque’s, Hillary, Obama, Rudy, and Mitt’s rallies are constantly thrust in our faces. Since Richard Haas, President of the CFR, (please pay particular attention to the last sentence under the heading “Mission”), has joined Mike Huckabee’s campaign we’re being entertained as he plays his guitar. Ron Paul, admittedly has had some media exposure. The New York Times magazine did a feature story last summer, using a picture from a debate which was enhanced, unlike the online version, to depict a man who looks very tiny on a large empty stage. At Ron Paul’s Philadelphia Freedom & Veteran’s Day Rally, CNN stood out in the cold in the nearly frigid wind, for hours throughout the entire rally, as if to capture a story precisely as they wanted it portrayed. There were no real no shots of Ron Paul’s rally where you could hear his words, no shots or real mention of the veterans who attended, and no shots of the massive crowd the rally drew. Since the media loves entertainment so much, still, no shots of the band. Waiting until the end with Ron Paul behind the stage, they ushered a few supporters behind him and he was interviewed.

What do you think? Are these ploys to convince the American public, that Ron Paul has little support? That his campaign is not credible? Or the terms “fringe” or “disaffected” are used to make you believe “We the people” are a small group of lepers with which you don’t want to be associated?

Then perhaps the establishment just looked out their window and saw the giant “Ron Paul Revolution” blimp, sporting “Who is Ron Paul” & “Google Ron Paul” which was funded solely by a few grassroots supporters. Maybe that’s all it took to spike their outrage and obvious desperation! I surely hope these guys and girls of the Washington establishment keep their heads in the sand, with their hands out, and their tongues wagging.  Such arrogance to think Washington’s twisted sense of “respect” would be anything that would appeal to the American people obviously shows, as usual, they just don’t get it. This attitude and behavior is exactly what the American people are tired of.

But this time, it’s ok, I hope they keep up the good work, because the people have seen very clearly now through their circus acts and they will make our win that much easier. “We the people” who “believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people…” will take care of the rest. I just hope “they” can learn to be graceful losers. Look on the bright side Washington, we’re not, after all, a lynch mob,  just a peaceful mass of American people, growing larger everyday, who are determined to take our liberty back. Washington’s respect for the American public should be a given, we’ve certainly earned it. And I’m so happy to be, only one, of the lion’s share of people, who is showing and telling them them that their secrets are out in the open, and yes, their party’s over! “We the people” are moving beyond Washington politics as usual. Just because they don’t report it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, and I’m delighted, no I’m ecstatic, to know because of the people, it isn’t too late. There really is “Hope for America” and I’m very proud to “Be a part of it!”

Breaking News! Ed & Elaine Brown fired upon.

Red Alert! Shots Fired! Ed & Elaine Brown under attack around 11:45 PM eastern time Saturday night. This was not a drill, 20-30 shots were fired down near the duck pond on their property. No one was injured.

[Update] (Thanks to Prison Planet for your update. They’re now back on line)

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fear the people, there is liberty.” —-Thomas Jefferson

Ed & Elaine Brown were fired upon last night around midnight by the Feds. We need ALL concerned citizens who value YOUR freedom to help protect Ed & Elaine by helping to make the people aware of what is going on. We must do everything we can to let this tyrannous, treasonous government know “We the people” are watching them. Through the power of the internet and word of mouth prayerfully we can avoid another Ruby Ridge or Waco situation. This is only one example of the Police State this country is rapidly falling under.

If the media won’t alert the people, (shadow government/central bankers OWNED), we must do it in their stead.

Governments do kill innocent people, remember Kent State University? Earlier this year, some 20-30 years later, information was finally released confirming an “order” was given to “shoot” which killed how many innocent protestors against the Vietnam War? Their crime? Protesting another war we should not have fought. What was the benefit of that war, and every other war this country has engaged in? Lining the pockets of the powerful elite. The only value our lives have to this shadow government, wealthy elite central bankers cabal, is how we can “serve them”, not our country to line their pockets with more wealth. Where’s the people’s gold? Government is not a “friend” to the people. Research it. And research Kissinger’s quotes about our military men. Pawns.

Help save Ed & Elaine Brown’s very lives. This couple has committed NO CRIME. They are NOT dangerous criminals.

Their only “crime” is to bravely stand up against a treasonous (shadow, central bankers cabal, IRS Mafia) government who has perpetrated this great hoax on us, the American people for almost a century!

“The only thing needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke

 On a local, state & federal level, talk to your public officials about Federal income tax, ask them to “show you the law”. Tell them you know the 16^th Amendment was never properly radified. (See links below). Talk with your local law enforcement officers; policemen, sherrifs, all your local law enforcement officials, and talk to every military person you know. Many of them don’t know they too are being “useful idiots”, just as we have been for almost a century. Enlighten everyone you know, especially law enforcement & military about ALL the information you know. We need these people to be aware why they are or may be called upon to act against the very people they pledge to protect. 

May God Bless the Browns, America and “We the people”.  We can still stop this villianous government NOW peacefully.

Stand Up, Stand Strong, and Refuse to go Silently into the Night. “United we stand, divided we will fall”

  “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they have resisted with either words, or blows, or by both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress.”—Frederick Douglas, 1849

 IRS loses challenge to prove tax liability

The Internal Revenue Service has lost a lawyer’s challenge in front of a jury to prove a constitutional foundation for the nation’s income tax, and the victorious attorney now is setting his sights higher.“I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking peoples property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever,” lawyer Tom Cryer told WND just days after a jury in Louisiana acquitted him of two criminal tax counts.

[Live with “We the People” Radio Network last night]

Patriot support in action!

Calls, emails and an emergency “We the people” broadcast spread swiftly across the nation to mobilize on behalf of Ed & Elaine Brown. Our directives; people nearby the Brown’s property to mobilize to their home with camera’s, if not local to reach the Brown’s property quickly, call the police in the Browns area (numbers below  for future reference) to let them know that “We the people” know what is going on and we’re watching their every move. Bloggers, spread the word, email everyone you can and know, spread the word for everyone out there to mobilize to protect the Browns, who have NOT committed a crime. The Federal Income Tax was never properly ratified, besides that fact, it was written as a “voluntary” action. The Browns boldly stand by their “legal” right not to continue contributing to lining the pockets of the elite central bankers with the fruits of their hard earned labor.

When we recieved our alert, Prison Planet.com site was down, whether overwhelmed by traffic or hacked in an attempt to impede the mobilization.

We called all the law enforcement offices, I was told by Plainfield, NH dispatcher that there was no one available to talk to me about the situation. I asked if they were on their property, he said he couldn’t tell me that information. The Sherrif’s department had a recording stating it was after regular business hours. The TV news station said they were trying to find out what was going on, then said “there’s nothing going on there”.

The situation at the Browns

First one shot was fired which alerted everyone on the the Brown property,  supporters stepped outside their RV to investigate, then rounds of shots began to sound off. The fog was thick, of course it’s nighttime, and they could not see anyone, yet shots were fired in 2 or 3 successions. At 3:21 am, they were still hearing noises around the property. They were unsure if they were actually still under seige, if they were being tested to see what kind of mobilization they their supporters could yeild, or if this was a psy-op to try to get the Brown’s and supporters to make a move so they can move in on them locked and loaded.

A Journalist comes forward to the real “free” media

A Tennessee journalist called  into the show to report that a “rule 34″; media blackout had been ordered at his media outlet about the Ed & Elaine Brown situation. He further explained that all news stories must be approved throough the editor before stories are covered and the government has ordered the media blackout about them. Government does not want the people to know they attack people for protecting their rights.

Be very aware that freedom & liberty is quickly vanishing

A gentleman from France called to let the people know that the same type of situations are happening there. This is a world wide movement toward “One World Order”, this is not a conspiracy “theory” it is a fact. Situations like this are happening nationwide. A man who told Dick Cheney his foreign policy on the Iraq War was despicable was arrested and carted away to the police department for disagreeing last year.

A man in MD, this week, was taken by the police department  for selling “Impeach” buttons. He was not arrested, he was literally picked up , against his will, by 4 police officers and taken against his will and put into a squad car. (This video is a little long, watch the first minute as an intro then slide the bar to 10 minutes and watch this stunning ‘abduction’.)

Updating events as they unfold at the Browns

At 4:20 eastern time, a supporter from the Browns property called and the situation is still live; someone from the outside was “shaking the hell out of my trailer” from the outside. Elaine called in and confirmed the situation.

Around 4:45 Central time, Ed Brown got through on the phone line to make a statement. He had been on the bullhorn talking to the Feds. Ed Brown called the sneaking cowardly IRS Mafia Federalies to come out of the shadows into the daylight, face to face, in the daylight. “This is MY country” Ed Brown says, “and I’m not going to let any puke take it away from me. We will NOT go silently into the night”.

Summation

People, all across this nation need to understand the seriousness of this situation. Mainstream media, will not tell you what is going on, because they are owned by the government. The government is owned by the elite central bankers. They are robbing us blind. Today the average American has to work 4 months out of the year just to line the eletists pockets. This was not what our founders had in mind when the drew the Constitution for our Republic. Read our Constitution, Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence which was written to protect the people from rouge, treasonous, tyrannical government. If “the people” do not stand up and reclaim this nation, our freedom, we are very quickly slipping into a dictatorship. Also read “The Law”, (link on this site), you’ll quickly recognize how our law enforcement system has become perverted.

Ok, we’ve been up all night monitoring this situation. We know for right now at least, everyone is safe. I’ll refine this tomorrow and update with links.

Is the Real ID Right for Americans???

From the desk of:
An American Chauvinist in Maryland!

“I have unwittingly ruined my country… We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” — President, Woodrow Wilson

Is the Real ID Right for Americans???

Currently there is a lot of discussion throughout our country regarding the Real ID Act. Questions abound — Will it protect us against terrorism? Will it dissuade illegal aliens from entering our country? Will it track uninvited guests to our country? How will it affect my privacy? How will it affect my children and future generations?

First, let’s look at some of the reasons proponents of the Real ID Act use to encourage our support. (These are directly from NumbersUSA)

• The Real ID Act, which specifically precludes creation of a national ID card, does not create a national database of driver’s licenses.
• Real ID establishes minimum standards for the issuance of driver’s licenses and ID cards that states must meet if these documents are to be recognized by the Federal government as secure proof of identity – a critical step in improving national security.
• Real ID will significantly decrease illegal immigration by limiting their access to drivers licenses.

These are only three of the reasons why Americans should support the Real ID, according to proponents of this legislation. Due to time constraints, I have chosen these three to respond to. And although I have great respect and admiration for the accomplishments of NumbersUSA, Grassfire.org and FAIR, I must respectfully disagree with their synopsis on this issue. I honestly don’t believe they have researched this thoroughly; nor have they validated the Feds’ responsibility to enforce without trampling on individual freedoms.

• The Real ID Act does not “create” a national ID card — the Real ID “IS” a national ID card! EVERY compliant state in the United States, and eventually Canada & Mexico, (North American Union???) will be tied into a central database of ALL DMV’s. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security and Department Of Transportation will determine the “minimum standards” required for compliance. NOT THE STATES! And DHS can reevaluate and update these standards at any given time!
• A few months ago, a DMV employee in Florida, with access to the SAVE system, was apprehended after falsifying documents allowing numerous illegal aliens to obtain drivers licenses. Does the Real ID guarantee this will not occur in the future? NO!
• Does the Real ID provide protection of the information contained in this massive database? NO! There are even less “safeguards” in this system than in our Social Security cards! Think — how many times in the last two years has our sacred personal information been lost or stolen? Anyone remember the Veterans Administration incident in August, 2006? And now they want us to trust them with “our” valuable financial info (Social Security #’s) which can be accessed by any possibly unscrupulous DMV clerk or law enforcement officer. NO! NO! NO!
• This one I love! Just think about it for a few minutes. By limiting access to drivers licenses by illegal aliens, states, and thereby the Feds, are going to drastically reduce illegal aliens in the United States.

HOGWASH! BS! LIES!

Nearly every illegal caught driving on U.S. highways doesn’t even have a fake drivers license — they have NO drivers license!!! They don’t even bother to apply! How will this legislation/law preclude those illegals from driving? Driving intoxicated? Killing innocent Americans on “our” highways?

IT WILL NOT!!!

The Real ID Act managed to work its way through the House, where it overwhelmingly passed. Interestingly though, it went deadly silent, and then magically reappeared, not by itself, but as an attachment to a completely different bill, the “Emergency Supplemental Appropriation for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005″.

Now really, who would vote “No” on funding for our troops fighting “terrorism” or even think about voting “No” to a financial relief package for the survivors of the December, 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean area.

Not if they wanted to be reelected by their constitituents. So, in order to get The Real ID Act signed into law, Congress had to bury it in legislation deemed sure to pass.

“The Senate, however, never voted on the REAL ID Act, though many predicted that if it had, the bill would have failed. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) introduced it as an amendment to the Senate’s supplemental appropriations bill but withdrew his amendment before a vote could take place. A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the REAL ID Act should not be part of a final House-Senate supplemental appropriations conference report was offered but never voted on.”

Now let’s take a further look inside …..

• This was initially advertised to be a “voluntary” program. Guess what? If you wish to travel with your family to the Caribbean or elsewhere outside our country, you had better have a Real ID compliant identification. Otherwise you may not be allowed to return home! Do you receive a Social Security check monthly? Unless you participate in the federally mandated Real ID program, you can kiss your check goodbye!

• The numerical limit on the number of aliens granted asylum who may become lawful permanent residents in any fiscal year has been removed. NO LIMIT!!!
• Oh, by the way, thank you Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD). You attached an amendment (the ONLY Senate amendment) that exempts seasonal workers who have worked in the U.S. in previous years from the national cap of 66,000 H-2B visas. Effectively, Sen. Mikulski’s amendment will negate the cap placed on H2-B visas, thereby further depleting jobs available for American workers. In other words, if you were here on an H-2B visa previously, you are not counted against the 66,000 for that year or any subsequent year. Therefore, the number of H-2B workers in this country will rise exponentially each and every year. Can you say, “In-source more cheap labor”? You gotta love Bill Gates!

The terrorists of 9/11 evidently taught us one thing, FEAR. But oddly enough, not fear of their terrorist threats, but rather FEAR OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!!!

Remember these?

• “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive”, May 9, 2007
• “The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act” or “Patriot Act” of 2001
• NSA warrantless wiretaps
• DOJ declaring NO “habeas corpus” in Constitution

And they still want us to trust them implicitly???

NOT A CHANCE!!!

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. – Thomas Jefferson

I truly believe our government experienced “fear of its people” when the Congressional telephone switchboard, inundated by angry calls from constituents back home, crashed from the overload on its circuits. Subsequently the Senate resoundingly defeated the President’s “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.

This law, Real ID, does more harm than good. It will be a bureaucratic nightmare to enforce, is threatening to individual privacy, makes citizens increasingly vulnerable to ID theft, and will further burden taxpayers due to the massive unfunded federal mandates on all the states. Once again, the “burden of proof” is placed on law-abiding American citizens – NOT the criminals. Sounds a lot like so-called “gun control” doesn’t it?

If our government wants TRUE security, they should adhere to the following guidelines (as previously enacted):

• BUILD THE FENCE!
• ENFORCE EMPLOYER SANCTIONS!
• DEPORT LAW-BREAKING ILLEGAL ALIENS!
• ENFORCE THE PREVIOUSLY MANDATED “EXIT VISA” SYSTEM!

You must decide for yourselves. But, I for one, will NEVER knowingly cede my freedom or liberty to an oppressive government such as the one that currently occupies Washington, DC. I will resist and fight for the freedoms guaranteed by our forefathers. I will succumb not to the Real ID nor a Federally mandated State drivers license!

What’s in your wallet???

Below are a few of the links I have researched in the last several days. Please feel free to peruse these and come to your own conclusion. I sincerely hope it is the correct one.

FAQ: How Real ID will affect you
Starting three years from now, if you live or work in the United States, you’ll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. Practically speaking, your driver’s license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.
The Real ID Act hands the Department of Homeland Security the power to set these standards and determine whether state drivers’ licenses and other ID cards pass muster. Only ID cards approved by Homeland Security can be accepted “for any official purpose” by the feds.

National ID cards on the way?
Proponents of the Real ID Act say it’s needed to frustrate both terrorists and illegal immigrants. Critics say it imposes more requirements for identity documents on states, and gives the Department of Homeland Security carte blanche to do nearly anything else “to protect the national security interests of the United States.”

National ID Cards Won’t Stop Terrorism or Illegal Immigration
Think this sounds farfetched? Read the REAL ID Act, HR 418, for yourself. Its text is available on the Library of Congress website. A careful reading also reveals that states will be required to participate in the “Drivers License Agreement,” which was crafted by DMV lobbyists years ago. This agreement creates a massive database of sensitive information on American citizens that can be shared with Canada and Mexico!

HR 418- A National ID Bill Masquerading as Immigration Reform
Mr. Speaker:
I rise in strong opposition to HR 418, the REAL ID Act. This bill purports to make us safer from terrorists who may sneak into the United States, and from other illegal immigrants. While I agree that these issues are of vital importance, this bill will do very little to make us more secure. It will not address our real vulnerabilities. It will, however, make us much less free. In reality, this bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to offer desperately needed border control in order to stampede Americans into sacrificing what is uniquely American: our constitutionally protected liberty.

The U.S. State Department and the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that by 2008, Americans returning home from Mexico, Canada, Panama and Bermuda must have a passport to get back in. Currently, U.S. citizens returning from these countries don’t need this document.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told The Associated Press that the United States had to take every precaution to screen out “people who want to come in to hurt us.” This requirement won’t do anything to prevent terrorists from getting into the country; instead, it will inconvenience Americans who otherwise have no need to obtain passports.
Do government officials really think this requirement would stop terrorists and prevent another Sept. 11? Guess what. All the Sept. 11 hijackers entered this country legally. Passport requirements would not have kept them out. Does anyone actually believe such a directive will put a dent in illegal immigration? Along the Mexican border, thousands of undocumented immigrants cross over each day. Passport requirements will not keep them out.

Identity Crisis
In May 2005, the Real ID Act was signed into law after it sailed through the Republican-controlled House to the Senate where it was attached to a supplemental spending bill for hurricane relief and troops in Iraq — making the bill almost impossible to vote against.

Papers Please
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. — Revelation 13:16-18

One day left to fight the US national ID card – ACT NOW!
Now instead of listening to the states, the US Senate is trying to force them to comply through the back door. As part of immigration legislation being considered next week in the Senate, an employment verification system will be created that requires everyone to have a REAL ID in order to get a job.

SPYCHIPS: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Purchase and Watch Your Every Move

Do we need internal passports?
Whatever the politicians promise you, the results are likely to be the opposite.
We were promised that the groundwork laid for a national identification system by the REAL ID Act would protect us from terrorism. Believe that promise at your own risk. National identification systems — internal passports — are one of the hallmarks of police states. Ignore this at your own risk.

National ID Cards and REAL ID Act
The REAL ID Act of 2005 creates a de facto national identification card. Ostensibly voluntary, it would become mandatory as those without the card would face suspicion and increased scrutiny. It is a law imposing federal technological standards and verification procedures on state driver’s licenses and identification cards, many of which are beyond the current capacity of the federal government, and mandating state compliance by May 2008. In fact, REAL ID turns state DMV workers into federal immigration officials, as they must verify the citizenship status of all those who want a REAL ID-approved state driver’s license or identification cards. State DMVs would far move away from their core mission — to license drivers.

REAL ID Act of 2005 Update
On another positive note, the bill will lift the cap on the number of applicants granted conditional asylum who can qualify for longer-term status each year The bill also preserves an amendment sponsored by Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), to lift the cap on the number of H-2B visas for temporary seasonal workers.

REAL ID enacted: Imposes rigid driver’s license requirements
The Senate did, however, approve a noncontroversial immigration amendment to exempt seasonal workers who have worked in the U.S. in previous years from the national cap of 66,000 H-2B visas. This provision, sponsored by Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.), was not in the House bill but became part of the supplemental appropriations conference report subsequently approved by the House and Senate.

Schneier on Security: REAL ID
The REAL ID Act requires driver’s licenses to include a “common machine-readable technology.” This will, of course, make identity theft easier. Assume that this information will be collected by bars and other businesses, and that it will be resold to companies like ChoicePoint and Acxiom. It actually doesn’t matter how well the states and federal government protect the data on driver’s licenses, as there will be parallel commercial databases with the same information.
Even worse, the same specification for RFID chips embedded in passports includes details about embedding RFID chips in driver’s licenses. I expect the federal government will require states to do this, with all of the associated security problems (e.g., surreptitious access).
REAL ID requires that driver’s licenses contain actual addresses, and no post office boxes. There are no exceptions made for judges or police — even undercover police officers. This seems like a major unnecessary security risk.
REAL ID also prohibits states from issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. This makes no sense, and will only result in these illegal aliens driving without licenses — which isn’t going to help anyone’s security. (This is an interesting insecurity, and is a direct result of trying to take a document that is a specific permission to drive an automobile, and turning it into a general identification device.)

Real ID intrusive, says state lawmaker
Katie Boyd, spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said that the state’s senior senator, a former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, is concerned about privacy rights and wary of the government’s ability to safeguard information.
“The senator has serious concerns regarding the ability of the government to obtain and warehouse your most sensitive, personal information without a guarantee for its security,” Boyd said.
Shelby also is concerned about mandates such as the requirement to digitize and centralize documents necessary to apply for a driver’s license, Boyd said.
She said Shelby believes a rogue hacker or dishonest driver’s license division employee could misuse personal information.

Don’t want national ID? Surrender your passport (UK)
British citizens who refuse to provide personal details for the planned “voluntary” national identification card have been told they will be denied passports and be unable to leave the UK.

Letters to the Hearing Impaired

From the desk of:

An American Chauvinist in Maryland!

Mr. President,

It is imperative that you immediately authorize enforcement of our current laws to restrict illegal immigration.

You have had 6 years to secure our borders but, unfortunately, you have instead encouraged millions more illegal aliens to enter our nation unlawfully, encouraged the creation of sanctuary cities and attempted to destroy our sovereignty by implementing the Security & Prosperity Partnership.

And when you don’t get your way, you accuse your opponents of being afraid of diversity and of being unpatriotic.

Let’s get one thing straight right now — WE ARE PATRIOTS, and we will be in D.C. June 14th – 16th to exhibit our patriotism to the nation.

 

Might I suggest, Mr. President, look out your windows in the direction of the Washington Monument to see REAL patriotism!!!

 

“We the people …” say, “Enforce current immigration law and secure our borders NOW!!!”

 

 

and,

Ladies & Gentlemen of Congress,

Get your heads out of your rectal darknesses!

Approve ONLY legislation that will provide for America’s security!

And, when President Bush states unequivocally that the Senate bill is NOT “amnesty”, bear in mind his obscure knowledge of the English language. He undoubtedly doesn’t have a clue to the meaning of the word “amnesty”!

Forget about your so-called friends at the CFR, Trilateral Commission & the Bilderbergs! They do NOT elect you to the office you presently occupy!

Listen to your constituents! They DO further your political ambitions!

It is YOUR mandate to secure our borders — that YOU fund and provide border security, workplace enforcement and deter illegal immigration!

 

It is YOUR Constitutional duty to provide for our security and that of future generations of American citizens.

 

If you refuse to do so,  “We the people …” have an abundance of pink slips available, and we will NOT hesitate to hand them out to each and every one of you!

 

Remember the 2006 elections?

 

Remember the Alamo!!!

• Senate Amnesty Could Strain Welfare System
  Newest Data Shows Latin American Immigrants Make Heavy Use of Welfare

As they debate legalization for illegal immigrants, Senators would do well to keep in mind the most recent data on welfare use by the people in question. According to the Department of Homeland Security, nearly 60% of illegal aliens are from Mexico and 80% of the total are from Latin America as a whole. A Center for Immigration Studies analysis of 2006 Census Bureau data, which includes legal and illegal immigrants, shows use of welfare by households headed by Mexican and Latin American immigrants is more than double that of native households.

• Call In The Heavy Hitter: Microsoft CEO Lobbies Kyl

It’s like the Yankees calling in Mariano Rivera to close the World Series: Microsoft CEO Steven A. Ballmer huddled today with Sen. Jon Kyl, hoping to convince the Arizona Republican, a key negotiator of the immigration bill, to soften restrictions on high-tech industry hiring.

• Reporter Arrested on Orders of Giuliani Press Secretary

Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani’s staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him.

• Support for Senate Immigration Bill Falls, 49% Prefer No Bill At All

Public support for the Senate immigration reform bill has slipped a bit over the past week. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Monday and Tuesday night found that just 23% of voters now support the bill while 50% are opposed. Last week, 26% supported the Senate bill while 48% were opposed.
In the face of public opposition, some supporters of the legislation have argued that the compromise may not be perfect but doing something is better than doing nothing. Voters have a different view–a solid plurality believes it would be better for the country to pass no bill at this time rather than letting the Senate compromise become law.

• The biggest con: Democrats & Republicans work together to destroy America, part 1 of 3

America is being destroyed by enemies within and with the help of a corrupted Congress and dumbed down (through public education and the corporate media), apathetic, indifferent and lazy public. The window for action to reverse the fascist trend of the last 50 years is fast closing and only an awake and vigilant citizenry can begin to comprehend and take action against the coming totalitarian devastation we have allowed to manifest in our country.

• Clear media conspiracy against Ron Paul

The conspiracy to ignore and marginalize presidential candidate Ron Paul is not a theory. In this case, a jury would have to conclude a conspiracy against Dr. Paul by the mindcontrol media exists.
When a candidate wins two debate polls in a row that are reported by the likes of MSNBC on its own web page, that is news, especially since the winner of both polls allegedly had no chance to win the nomination. The media normally jumps on that kind of news, because people in America love underdogs, but not this time.

• Americans Right to Set Limits

Despite all the hype raging in Washington about the need for “immigration reform” in response to the illegal alien flood, the simple fact is that we do not have a broken immigration system. What we actually have is a broken immigration enforcement system.

• New “Security & Prosperity Partnership” Records Reveal Proposal for U.S.-Canadian Funded Grants for Mexico

A 10-page partnership “Work Plan for the Financial Services Working Group” is included (somewhat incongruously) among the Health and Human Service records. The “work plan” details 24 specific “deliverables” by officials from the U.S. Treasury, Finance Canada, BANXICO, the Federal Reserve Board – Atlanta, and regulatory agencies from all three countries. The deliverables include “cross-border” cooperation in the areas of car insurance, Social Security totalization for Mexico, banking, and Federal Reserve’s “Directo a Mexico” remittance program.

• Mother and Daughters Nailed for Human Trafficking

A woman and her two daughters were ordered detained without bond this morning for engaging in sex trafficking of children. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, Western District of Texas, made the announcement. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigated the case.

• Dozens of Foreign Gang Members Nabbed in L.A.

Dozens of Mexican and Central Americans with ties to violent southern California street gangs have been arrested or indicted on drugs, weapons and immigration charges, immigration officials in Los Angeles said on Wednesday.

• Social Security, Veterans And All Benefits Will End

Seniors have only two choices, either defeat this amnesty bill completely, or Hurry Up and Die with Dignity while you still have the resources.
President Bush and supporters of Amnesty in Congress make me very angry, because they are such arrogant elitist snobs who think Americans are so inferior, and so stupid, as to believe their elaborate, untrue and deceptive fairy tales regarding illegal invaders, SPP and amnesty.

• Senate: Grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegals ordered deported & defying US court

The Senate voted yesterday to grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have already been caught and ordered deported but are defying a court order, preserving their path to citizenship as part of the immigration bill.

I Am A “Free” American

From the desk of:

An American Chauvinist in Maryland!

The following is from “We The People” (WTP).

After reading this, ask yourself, “Who got it right in the South Carolina debate? Ron Paul or Rudolph Guiliani?” And remember, Guiliani may have been the one who opened his mouth & inserted his foot but the other 8 neo-cons on the stage that night hold the identical uninformed view.

I have highlighted/emphasized some of the areas of this article.

PLEASE, if you agree, pass this along to your friends & colleagues.

If you don’t, then we agree to disagree. But I, for one, refuse to be indoctrinated into the NAU or NWO! I will NOT allow media censorship, ala the Third Reich, to determine my thought process. I am not now, nor ever will be, a puppet for “political correctness”!

May 7, 2007   9/11: Why They Attacked Us
Bin Laden: In His Own Words

WTP: Petition For Redress
Please sit and take a deep breath, or even two, before you begin reading this article.  

Sometimes the truth can hurt — a lot. This may be one of those times.  It was for us. 

Before continuing, please remember: we are only the messengers; we deal with facts, not opinions; the Country and the Government are two separate things; we will forever love our Country and be willing to give our lives in defense of its system of governance – as designed and set forth in our founding document – but, we should always distrust the Government; we avoid all political questions; we seek only to hold those in Government accountable to Truth, Justice and the Constitution, regardless of their political stripes; we have confronted Democrat and Republican administrations with equal fervor.  

The last few months have been difficult ones for us. We have gone through an uncomfortable paradigm shift in our understanding of how our government has become unaccountable to the People and in coming to grips with the incredible risks our beloved Republic now faces.  

We knew, of course, that the Government was bad, occasionally breaking the rules by violating the Constitution and refusing to be held accountable for its behavior, an insufferable arrogance for sure, but what we did not fully comprehend was the fact that our Government had actually turned evil.  

We now realize that the Government has apparently jettisoned altogether its primary function as a protector and enhancer of individual, unalienable Rights and Freedoms, Life and Liberty, Truth and Justice.  What remains of our former Republic is merely a shadow, a cardboard movie set for our children to marvel and for our despotic leaders hold press conferences.

The time for radical truth telling and acts of conscious resistance is now upon us.
 

Osama bin Laden

We have just finished studying the report, “Messages To the World; The Statements of Osama Bin Laden“, authored by Osama Bin Laden, edited by Bruce Lawrence, and published by London-based Verso Books. (available on Amazon.com)

This is bin Laden, in his own words, dating back to 1994, explaining WHY he attacked our nation’s economic and military icons.

To our knowledge, no U.S newspaper has published any of these statements, no U.S. television network has broadcast any of these videos, and no U.S. radio station has broadcast any of these audiotapes explaining his motive.

Why not? Considering the price our nation is now paying due to the “War on Terror,” would it not have been prudent to take heed to the openly broadcast messages of our attackers? 

What would the world be like today if the United States Government had listened and properly responded to bin Laden’s proper Petitions to America and the rest of the world for redress of his grievances – decades worth of unjustified attacks and illegal military occupations by America and Israel targeting Muslims — and on Muslim territory? In all likelihood, there would have been no attack on the World Trade Center, no War on Terror, no Police State, and no erosion of individual Liberties in America.  

What would the world be like today if the United States Government had listened and properly responded to bin Laden who had been constructing and articulating a consistent, convincing case that an attack on Islam was under way and was being orchestrated and directed by the government of America? In all likelihood, there would have been no attack on the World Trade Center, no War on Terror, no Police State, and no erosion of individual Liberties in America.  

What would the world be like today if, following 9-11, the United States Government had not had conducted a telephone conference call directing the heads of the five dominant American television networks to agree to censor free speech, public discourse and debate by suppressing from broadcast any statements by bin Laden, and suppressing the horrific video images that the rest of the “civilized” world was watching – i.e., the pictures of the United States military killing tens of thousands of innocent people while intentionally bombing civilian facilities and homes in Afghanistan. Prime Minster Blair did the same in England, wrestling a similar agreement from the three T.V. networks of the United Kingdom. In all likelihood, there would have been more knowledge about the truth, more public condemnation of the “coalition” governments, no invasion of Iraq, no Police State and no erosion of individual Liberties in America. 

What would the world be like today if Secretary of State Madeline Albright had not responded with, “Its worth it,” when questioned on CBS’s 60 Minutes, about the deaths of over 600,000 [Muslim] children in Iraq as a direct result of malnutrition and disease directly caused by the United States’ ten-year boycott and blockade of badly needed medicine and food? What if there was no such boycott and blockade? In all likelihood, there would have been no attack on the World Trade Center, no War on Terror, no Police State, and no erosion of individual Liberties in America.  

Indeed, what is now apparent is the fact that for decades preceding 9-11, the Government of the United States of America, under the leadership of both Democrats and Republicans, has been responsible in whole or in part, for the deaths of over one million innocent men, women and children of the Middle East, and the reduction to rubble of tens of thousands of individual homes, businesses and vital community services in the Middle East — and most of these were exclusively Muslim targets.   

In addition to these evil, un-Godly, un-American and inhuman acts of terror sponsored and sanctioned by the United States Government and the State of Israel, it is now apparent that during this time, both Democrat and Republican administrations have been responsible in whole or in part for deliberately censoring from the American public the true nature of the results of this intervention in the internal affairs of, and on the human beings that reside in these Middle East countries. 

Given the extent of bin Laden’s public statements over many years which explain, in stark language that Islam itself was under attack from the combined forces of Israel and America, and given our nation’s vast experience involving decades of morally reprehensible meddling and intervention in Middle East affairs, are we to believe that the U.S. Government was honestly unaware of the intent of one Osama bin Laden — himself a former CIA operative? Are we to believe that bin Laden attacked us because he thought we were “too free”? 
America’s Comeuppance?

Webster’s defines “comeuppance” to mean, “deserved punishment; retribution.” 

Was 9-11 America’s comeuppance? Did America bring that day of heartbreaking and despicable death and destruction upon itself?

Was it “payback” for something America had done or was doing? Was it deserved?

Or are we to believe that the victims of decades of our abuse carried out the attacks of 9-11 simply because of America’s underlying principles of Freedom? Did they attack us because “they hate us for our freedom?”

Unfortunately, the latter is the only motive our Government has ever publicly attributed to Osama bin Laden, who has taken responsibility for the attack, and no one — not the media, not our government, not our leaders, has dared to openly question, “WHY DID THEY ATTACK US?” 

We urge you to read the public statements of Osama bin Laden contained in the Petition for Redress of Grievances discussed below.  

If you can read them with an open mind and an open heart, you too may experience the pangs of the hard truth that both our Government and our nation may in fact bear a large measure of responsibility for the attacks of 9/11 and the current condition of our world and our Republic. 

By abandoning our spiritual principles and our founding documents, it is now clear that we have engaged in the “War on Terrorism” with “unclean hands.”  We have allowed our government to trample our Constitution, suppress the truth, and finance the injury and abuse of untold human beings across the planet — most of whom, not coincidentally, practice the Muslim faith. 

Aside from the significant (and still unanswered) questions regarding what foreknowledge our government may have had about the 9/11 attacks and the collapse of the (three) WTC skyscrapers, we trust you will find bin Laden’s words to be most revealing and disturbing.

The implications of his statements are profound not only for our understanding of the true causes of 9/11, but in understanding the current state of world affairs and understanding how a free nation — a nation founded upon the principles of Christianity — financed and sanctioned the chaos our Republic and our planet now endures.

We leave it to you and your posterity to judge who bears — and shares — the ultimate guilt for the attacks of  9/11.
 

Petition for Redress of Grievances
 

Based on our review of the book, “Messages To The World: Statements From Osama Bin Laden” and other materials (see list and links below), we have prepared a Petition for Redress of Grievances regarding the United States’ unconstitutional financial aid to Israel and the unlawful occupation of various countries in the Middle East.
The Petition contains extensive quotes from public statements made by Osama bin Laden over almost two decades.  The quotes detail his moral and legal justification for his jihad [defensive war] against both Israel and the United States.

We recommend you do not begin to read the Petition unless you have about an hour of quiet time to read the material once or twice and to think carefully about what you have read. 

Those of you who have been following our articles of late know that as we have been developing our position on the constitutionality of the Government’s Foreign Policy in the Middle East our research has included a study of the following documents:

News with Attitude – 6/3/2007

From the desk of:

• Bush Pens Dictatorship Directive, Few Notice

It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported the death of the Constitution. Go to Google News and type in “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” and hit enter. Google returns ten paltry results, not one from the New York Times, the Washington Post, or related corporate media source. Google Trends rates the story as “mild,” that is to say it warrants nary a blip on the news radar screen. Of course, another death blow to the Constitution, already long on life support, is hardly news. Few understand we now live in a dictatorship, or maybe it should be called a decidership.

• The Unitary King George: Homeland Security Presidential Directive: an Unconstitutional Bombshell

As the nation focused on whether Congress would exercise its constitutional duty to cut funding for the war, Bush quietly issued an unconstitutional bombshell that went virtually unnoticed by the corporate media.
The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007, would place all governmental power in the hands of the President and effectively abolish the checks and balances in the Constitution.
If a “catastrophic emergency” – which could include a terrorist attack or a natural disaster – occurs, Bush’s new directive says: “The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government.”

• Corporate Media Praises Neocon Robert Zoellick

Now that the reprehensible neocon Paul Wolfowitz is out of the way at the World Bank, it is time for our rulers to nominate yet another reprehensible neocon to the post. Said neocon is Robert Zoellick, PNAC signatory, and a former director of the Aspen Institute Strategy Group, a “non-profit” set-up and bankrolled by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Carnegie Corporation, and the Ford foundation. Zoellick is of course the perfect choice, as he worked in the “private sector” for Goldman Sachs, Enron, and Fannie Mae, in other words he is a seasoned cut-throat operator, ready to inflict neoliberal globalism and loan shark schemes on the impoverished masses, most of them living on less than two dollars a day. If Zoellick and the “private sector” have their way, billions will live on less than a dollar a day.

The Elitists: Garbage In — Garbage Out!

From the desk of:

The Global Elite: Who are they?

Prior to the founding of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was the most significant body of global-minded elitists in the United States. As far back as 1959, the CFR was explicit about a need for world government:

“The U.S. must strive to build a new international order… including states labeling themselves as ’socialist’… to maintain and gradually increase the authority of the United Nations.”

The site for the United Nations headquarters in New York was originally donated by the Rockefeller family, and the CFR world architects worked for many years to use the U.N. as a means to develop an image of world order. Indeed, the CFR membership roster has been, and still is a Who’s Who of the elitist eastern establishment.

Ron Paul: Perry’s Bilderberg Attendance Proof Governor Part Of “International Conspiracy”

“Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has added his voice to those who believe Texas Governor Rick Perry should be investigated for a criminal violation of the Logan Act after he jetted off to meet with foreign elites yesterday at the Bilderberg Group conference in Istanbul.”

Will American’s allow “Rule” to replace “Government”?

Conspiracy Facts not Theory- The Title Says it All., October 11, 2005
By T. F. Ingram (Bellmawr, NJ United States)

Perloff’s Shadows of Power is a fact based account of the real power
behind the American political system. The CFR (Council on Foriegn
Relations), an invitation only organization, is the North American
sister organization of the RIIA (Royal Institute of International
Affairs). The CFR, with David C. Rockefeller as it’s Honorary Chairman,
permeates the highest levels of government (Current members include Dick
Cheney, Condaleeza Rice, Teddy Kennedy, Bill Frist, Colin Powell, Bush
Sr., Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Henry Kissinger, John McCain, John
Kerry and the list goes on and on). Media organizations and their
highest ups like Rupert Murdoch, Catherine Graham (Washington Post) and
all of his media empire (Fox News etc.) as well as reporters like
Barbara Walters etc. are also members. And as Perloff makes clear, the
organizations goal is to create a one world elitist government.

Once you read and digest the facts that Perloff presents in an orderly
fashion, it becomes clear that we are being led down a primrose path by
a group of insiders connected to the international banking community and
very high level power brokers who keep a low profile and operate in the
shadows (Hence, shadows of power.).

This book is not about Conspiracy Theory. It is about Conspiracy facts.
If you want to peek behind the curtain of power or can’t make sense of
the moves of our politicians, this book will begin to clear the haze of
confusion for you.

I would also recommend a companion book by John McManus- The Insiders
which provides a current list of CFR members. Good overview of the CFR
and Tri Lateral Commission that takes you through each Presidency since
Carter and traces the CFR members and their moves. It also provides a
list of current members which serves as a nice reference while watching
TV, etc. Once you understand the motives of this organization, it allows
you to see through the hidden messages being conveyed by the media and
through current legislation.

I would also suggest 2 books that will significantly clarify the power
of economic control and how it is being used to control our lives. One
is Edward G. Griffins- The Creature from Jekyll Island which is about
the origin and operations of the Federal Reserve System. (Not Federal,
has no reserves and is a cartel of private banks not a system.) Reading
this book is like taking the blue pill instead of the red one as was
offered to Neo in the first matrix movie. You will never again look at
our government in the same way. Again based upon well documented fact,
not theory.

The second book is again from John McManus entitled Financial Terrorism
and it is also a fact based book on money and economics that is a
clearly written yet easily understood (as is Griffins book) expose of
how our money system has been corrupted into the hands of international
bankers and power brokers.

There are more, but if you read these 4 books you will be light years
ahead of most private citizens in their understanding of what is really
going on in out lives and reality and less easily led down a primrose
path by the power elites.

Finally, for a sample dose of reality go to
http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_2239.shtml and read
the article Abolishing the USA, follow the links to the government site
on the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership for America) and keep an
open mind. See for yourself that this stuff is happening before our very
eyes while we are asleep at the wheel naively allowing our liberties and
prosperity to be stolen away by a ruthless group of power elites who
only goal is total dominance, power and control over all of humanity.

Please read the books, reflect and help out before our way of life
disappears forever and is replaced by a 1984-like reality.
