22.1% Unemployment More Stimulus Equals More Unemployment


The "headline" (U-3) unemployment rate of 10.2% vastly understates the magnitude of the jobs crisis in America. John Williams' "Shadow Government Statistics" unemployment number for October is 22.1%. Williams estimates that we would have to create 22.6 million new jobs in order to get to "true" full employment. At $313,000 each, the private sector would have to invest an incremental $7.1 trillion to accomplish this.

If you divide the total real capital employed in the U.S. ("produced assets") by total employment, you get about $313,000. That is, for $313,000 in capital, the private economy can create one real, permanent, self-supporting job. In contrast, there are estimates that each of the jobs that the administration claims that "stimulus" has "created or saved" is costing about $1.2 million.

If so, this means that selling the bonds required to fund one temporary "stimulus" job will take enough capital out of the private sector to destroy four "real" jobs. This explains why, as the "stimulus" spending has ramped up, job losses have accelerated.

Unfortunately, the Administration, the mainstream media, and much of the economics profession are responding to the worsening unemployment with calls for even more "stimulus". This would compound the tragedy. Each $313,000 of bonds sold to fund the additional spending could be expected to extinguish one private sector job. In addition, we can expect that the next increment of stimulus would be even more wasteful than the first $787 billion. The "best" projects would have been included in the first stimulus bill.

Canceling the job-destroying "stimulus" program would be a good first step toward providing the private sector with the additional capital required to achieve full employment. However, this would provide only about 10% of the money required. The rest would have to be mobilized by increasing incentives for real savings and investment.

The two most effective measures toward this end would be to stabilize the dollar and to repeal the corporate income tax. The corporate income tax brought in only $138billion in FY2009. This amounts to less than 1% of GDP, and less than a fifth of the cost of the "stimulus" bill. Repealing it now would produce higher employment and higher Federal revenues within months.

I wonder what all these figures would look like if we figured in a repeal of all future income payments to Senators and Congressmen who are voted out for doing a indefensibly baneful job. If they are voted out and replaced isn't that like being fired? It would be different if they served well and retired after two terms, but the ones who clearly are inept or refuse to perform to the wishes of the constituants who voted them into a role of representing them should, not be rewarded. Instead they follow party lines and push through the administrations agenda, they follow their political party and forget about the job they were sent there to do and that is to voice the opinions of their State. If they are fired at election time, there ends their lifetime drain of future tax dollars. If they perform well and do their job for two terms, then receiving lifetime income and benefits is acceptable.(kinda) Just what are these numbers in terms of dollars we don't have for a job that borders on treason??? Put that money and future monies back toward working for the American People and easing our economic trauma. Becoming unemployed is a bitch and they should have to appreciate the same fate.

Step DOWN Geithner....blame who?


Pressure Builds On Geithner to Resign…
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) calls on Tax Cheat Obama Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to step down today during a House hearing.
Geithner supported the disastrous financial decisions that saw the national deficit triple in one year under Barack Obama:

It’s been a year since the President was elected,” the panel’s ranking Republican, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, said at a hearing this morning featuring Geithner. “It’s appropriate for the American people to assess how well the administration’s economic policies are working. They are not. They have failed.”

“Unemployment has skyrocketed far past the White House’s projections and promises. America continues to shed jobs: more than 2.8 million since the stimulus was enacted,” Brady said. “We’ve had a series of embarrassing investigations about all the wild stimulus claims, the latest fake jobs from fake Congressional districts… You are the point man on the economy,” Brady said to Geithner. “The buck, in effect, stops with you.”
Geithner sharply rejected the call to resign and blamed the current state on what he inherited from Bush.
Ouch! ...and where was he then??? Mr Turbo Tax better get a clue!

That was today....Democrat Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon called for Geithner to step down yesterday.
Next Pelosi, Reid...then Obama

Soros has been propping up the dollar for awhile or it would be much lower. The market is artificially propped up by "hopes of recovery under way"--there is no recovery because there is no way to recover.
Job losses continue- record foreclosures-property values continue to fall-the dollar should be in the toilet already--but Soros props it up.
The govt keeps issuing reports thanks to the MSM or lamestreamedia that 25% of cities are recovering and other nonsense. The reason the market is being artificially propped up by govt propaganda-lies-and misinformation. The current claims of saved or new jobs is a joke. The govt makes it up-SO THEY CAN GET THE REST OF OUR WEALTH INTO THE MARKETS BEFORE THE FINAL GRAND SLAM CRASH-

THE DREADED BLACK HOLE FROM WHICH NO PRIVATE SECTOR CAN RECOVER. Then our wonderful govt will rescue everyone-yea right- cause there won't be anything left. The Dollar will then be virtually worthless as the world bails out of the buck and the people who played metals and possibly other commodities will be the only ones
left standing- probably until they confiscate metals and nationalize the oil/gas industry. They have to get the guns first to do this. They will take all this property under the guise of national security- and doing it for the country, saying it is so bad it is the only way the country will survive. Without nationalizing these things, we will be at the mercy of our enemies. No more private wealth-game set match.
Even Obama is accepting the real possibility of a double dip, which he is engineering.

In China...President Obama says he wants to "rebalance" the economic relationship between China and the U.S. as part of his plan to restart the American jobs machine He hopes that hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers will make up for the inability of American consumers to return to debt-binge spending. (wow, what optimism!)

Call it double-dip recession, call it depression...I call it the 'Great Debassion'.
The Dollar has not been depressed, it has been debased and devalued and it's days are numbered.
Are you fed up with out-of-control government spending and taxation?

Are you fed up with the government providing bailouts, not securing the borders and not drilling for oil in our own country which would hold down energy prices?

Many U.S. citizens who embrace the American Way have engaged in “tea parties”. More will tomorrow and MORE will the day after that, but it is not enough. I live in a remote area so a real "tea party" is out, instead I let my voice be heard through this Blog, Twitter, numerous forums, community blogs, letterwriting campaigns to officials and I beat my drum to whomever will listen. Don't ever believe that you are just one voice and you don't or won't have an effect on the outcome of any issue of importance TODAY. Everyone can be their own "tea partier" by getting active. Or just get more educated and following current events. Every day it is something new! Dramatic HISTORY is being made right now and whatever the future has in store, you will sure feel better knowing you played your part by "Making Your VOICE Heard!"

Islam Muslim...Commander in Chief

"If you haven't seen this...you must!



Truth is stranger than fiction, and much less popular.

IMMIGRATION Theodore Roosevelt


Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

If TR were alive today, he would be in the forefront of those seeking to change the status quo, just as he did in his own day. Today's Republicans bear no resemblance whatever to Theodore Roosevelt. They have no policies and no ideas except "No."

PROFILE the Presidency


Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.

The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally. Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.

He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States, but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda.. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor, forward the link below to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

Obama's socialist tendancies mixed with his Islamic sympathies


"I just got more details from Fox News about the upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, better known in the press as "KSM," and four of his co-conspirators in the planning of 9/11.

You know, I really wanted to cut Obama some slack when he first got in the White House. But the more I learned, the more I saw, the angrier I got. I was angry with myself for allowing myself to be so easily duped.

Obama is allowing the people who planned 9/11 to be tried in criminal court in New York City, while those less dangerous are to be tried as planned by military tribunals. I can't help but wonder if one of Obama's closet skeletons is that he is a devout Muslim in Christian clothing who is siding with terrorists.

Consider that all during the campaign, a Bible-toting Obama attended Christian church every Sunday without fail. He'd been doing so for quite some time, but much of that time he spent in the Reverend Wright's church. Wright preached hatred and as such has no right whatsoever to be a man of the cloth. When he became a stigma, Obama resigned from his church and joined another.

But after the last of the glitter had dropped from ballroom ceilings after the inauguration, and weeks became months, I learned that Obama's church attendance had been part of the duplicity of his whole campaign persona. As far as I know, he's attended church but once since taking office, on Easter. What happened to the weekly attendance? It was nothing more than window dressing.

Suddenly, he's doing things that show far greater sympathy to Allah than Jesus Christ. The cutthroats who shoot at our troops in Afghanistan, if captured, are read their Miranda rights—even though it is a war on foreign soil. In what prior war has it ever been the policy of this nation that someone captured on the field of battle in a foreign and hostile land be treated as an American with Constitutional rights? None. That's why the Geneva Convention wrote up the rules of how those captured in battle are to be treated. Reading Miranda rights to the Taliban is as absurd as arresting a drug dealer and having him tried by a military tribunal.

KSM and four others 9/11 planners were to be tried in the proper venue, a military tribunal, where the rules of evidence are somewhat different. Much of what KSM confessed to was obtained after waterboarding. They would be admitted in a military tribunal. But, because the venue has been changed to a criminal court only blocks from Ground Zero, the rules have changed and ALL of the confessions KSM made are now inadmissable. Confessions given, in other words, will not be used against these men.

Further, because the trial is in the public domain, we risk having top secret material made public in open court, and by so doing, we are putting the lives of CIA agents and the identities of those who helped us to fight the Taliban made public for all to see? How? Because the defense is entitled to "discovery," which means the government prosecutors must make all information they possess, and that has bearing on this trial, avaibale to the defense, which is free to reveal the information in open court.

So the president has ordered Eric Holder, perhaps the worst attorney general this nation has ever seen, to have KSM and his cohorts tried in an open, public forum, but has lesser-known terrorists tried by military tribunals? Either he's schizophrenic, and thus unfit to serve, or Obama is trying to find ways to aid the Muslim cause. Very curious. Why aren't they all tried in the same venue?

That the most dangerous of the terrorists will be tried in criminal courts boggles the mind. If the government's evidence, absent the confessions, is insufficient, KSM and the four being tried with him could walk; set free to plan the next attack. To me, the president's actions come damn close to aiding and abetting the enemy, which constitutes treason.

And the president still hasn't figured out—or he knows but won't say it—that Hasan's Ft. Hood attack was a terrorist attack. The mounting evidence is irrefutable. On his business card, Hasan had SOA (Soldier of Allah) and he yelled the terrorist mantra as he opened fire, "Allahu Akbar!"

In addition, there is a PC clog in the dissemination of news through main stream media. The outlets involved are going out of their way not to offend Muslims. I wrote a post here yesterday about a federal judge nominee who says that the name of Jesus cannot be spoken in his court, but Allah can. Obama nominated him.

I don't do PC. I will say that many very fine people are practicing Muslims. But they have no idea who or what they are worshipping. I think Pat Robertson was right the other day when he pointed out that Islam is no religion of peace. How could it be? Those in the jihad, who carry the Quran with them believe that that holy book tells Muslims that they are to convert everyone to their faith. If they can't, they are to kill them. Hasan said as much at a conference held for doctors, and then launched into a Powerpoint presentation about jihad, not something medical. How much do we have to see before we call a terrorist a terrorist?

In addition, according to Pat Robertson, Allah is NOT the same god as Jehovah of the Jewish and Christian faiths. Allah, according to Robertson, is a desert moon god. That makes sense inasmuch as the God of the Bible would no more tell Christians and Jews to go convert the world or kill those who can't be converted than he would deny His own Son.

So exactly what is going on? Obama orders the masterminds behind 9/11—the biggest fish yet caught—be tried in a civil courtroom where there's a greater chance that they will be acquitted. And at the same time he allows those in a lower echelon to be tried by military tribunals? What's wrong with this picture?

Given Obam's socialist tendancies mixed with his Islamic sympathies, and his absurd unwillingness to make a decision about sending the troops requested to Afghanistan really makes me wonder about this man. It goes way beyond politics. Because he refuses to make a decision on troops, he's exposing the troops already there to growing danger and sharpening threat. What the hell kind of commander in chief waits this long to make a decision? It's been 11 weeks!

Then, he heads to a lonely airfield where the bodies of our soldiers killed in Afghanistan, are carried off the plane in flagged-draped coffins. There he stands and saultes one of the caskets. Do you know how many soliders he so acknowledged? One. It was a pathetic and outrageous photo-op.

So just who is Barak Obama? What god/God does he worship? Is he a Muslim sympathizer? If so, his allegience may just produce what's needed to impeach him.

Be vigilent. At some point he'll make a mistake and our mission will change from stopping his socialist agenda to getting him impeached and convicted.

To have these Barbarians tried in civil court is the greatest affront to the 9/11 familes and this country anyone with an evil mind could conceive.

And to think, I cut the man some slack!

we MUST focus now on the Senate!

We came so close to defeating the House bill, had just THREE (3) more Democrats joined the other 39 brave souls who ignored Pelosi's bullying, and we would have defeated the bill in the House. All we needed was 218 votes and we had 215. Without your efforts, the margin of Pelosi's victory would have been far greater.

Friends, take this first step to start our communications assault on the Senate by doing exactly what Dick Morris says to do here:

http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/2009/10/ ... /#more-659
Please visit this site and follow his instructions to the letter. We need to start immediately before Harry Reid can try for passge on the coattails of the House vote by putting the Senate version to a vote right away.

Make SURE when you follow the steps that you OPPOSE in the strongest terms the use of Reconciliation or the Nuclear Option. If Reid uses it, he can get his bill passed with only 50 votes instead of the usual 60. Doing this will be literally shoving the bill down our throats, so go to:

http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/

And make your pens into missiles of discontent. Let 'em have it. NOW is the time to do this.

We must put tremendous pressure on Senate Democrats to break ranks and defeat their version of the bill—and we CAN do it. When we do and the Senate bill fails, things get very interesting.

When the bill in whatever form, comes out of the Conference Committee, if the final bill does not pass in either chamber, then the measure fails. It must be passed by both houses to go to the White House.

If the Senate does pass it's version, the differences between its bill and the House bill are somewhat profound, and trying to hammer out a bill that will pass in both houses will be extremely difficult and painful. That's why we MUST focus now on the Senate.

Comply With Pelosi-Care Or Go To Jail!!


Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.


In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

- – - – - – - – - -

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

- – - – - – - – - -

“Criminal penalties

Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]

When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.

“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates. Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare,” said Camp.

According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.
The cheapest it gets........
Estimate for "Reference Plan" in 2016 -- Average of 3 Lowest-Cost Basic Plans

Geeze...here's a thought...Don't people in prison get pretty darn good healthcare???

YOU LIE - Illegals Allowed in Healthcare Plan


The Associated Press has just reported that, after the Hispanic Caucus confronted Pres. Obama at the White House thursday, the chair of the House Rules Committee indicated she is giving the Caucus what it wants:

** Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) indicated that the House will have to vote on a bill that allows illegal aliens to use the new health care "exchange" and that does not require verification to keep illegal aliens out of the other parts of the proposed new federal health care system. **

The Hispanic Caucus sent leaders to the White House to berate Pres. Obama for his insistence that illegal aliens not be included in any of the proposed health care.

The Hispanic Caucus was especially adamant that illegal immigrants be allowed to use their own money to purchase health coverage in a new government-run "exchange."

He listened to us. We listened to him," said Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "We made it very clear that 20 votes in the Hispanic caucus" depend on the language in the House bill.

Currently, there is no prohibition in the House bill against illegal aliens buying insurance in the exchange, but the White House backs such a ban and one exists in the Senate bill.

** "I think that he got our message," Velazquez said. \-- Associated Press **

Basically, Obama and Senate leaders are trying to fulfill Pres. Obama's promise to the American people that no illegal aliens will participate in any part of the new plan.

But the Hispanic Caucus is saying it will vote against any bill that does that. At the moment, Speaker Pelosi has no way to get 218 votes to pass the bill without the Hispanic Caucus. But we must ensure that the bill would be killed by a sufficient number of moderate Democrats who will refuse to vote for the bill unless it has the bans on illegal aliens.

The Representatives drawing their line in the White House sand were Rep. Velazquez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Lucille Royal-Allard (D-Calif.), Rep. Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas) and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.)

This AP story that just came out contains this bombshell:

** House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., said later that she did not believe there would be any change to the House bill on immigration. - Associated Press **

There is a huge amount of implication in that sentence.

The bill as it now stands has gigantic loopholes that allow illegal aliens to use all parts of a new federal health care program.

If Chairwoman Slaughter is saying the Hispanic Caucus is getting its way and that no changes on immigration are being made, that means NumbersUSA will call on all Members of the U.S. House to vote NO on the rule on the bill, which would keep it from coming to the floor for a vote.

NumbersUSA deals only with immigration. We do not take any kind of position on the health care bill itself.

But if the bill comes to the floor with all these loopholes for illegal aliens, we most certainly are urging all Members to vote NO on the rule.

Hmmmm.... It seems Rep. Joe Wilson was right. "You LIE".... Think ol' Joe will get an apology for the crap he took after making that obviously correct observation? I doubt it. Don't worry Joe, I got yer six. Folks like you, who have the brass cajones to tell it like it is will be remembered when these crooks in DC are finally brought to justice...

I always said that this whole healthcare push has been ALL about dealing with the illegals and who pays the bill for them, and not about reducing the costs to the American Citizens....someone has to pay their bill so it is coming out of the pocket of your family...nice. Oh, and that part of "YOU LIE"....who should be doing the apologizing now.

New Seal for 5th Army North declares North American Union

INCLUDES IMAGE OF ISLAMIC TOWER
by John Charlton

(Nov. 2, 2009) — You can’t get more explicit about your agenda than the art you use to advance it. And a case in point is the new insignia of the 5th Army North, a combat unit formed to assist in civil defense in times of National Emergencies, within the United States.


The ony problem is that the logo has an image of the American Eagle, taken from the President’s crest, superimposed upon the Continent of North America. With the continent surrounded with an ocean in the colors of the United Nations peacekeepers.

To add artistic insult to symbolic injury, at the heart of the Eagle is a Red Card, with what appears to be the silhouette of an Islamic Tower!

This insignia was found on 2 mobile command units, recently acquired by the 5th Army North, stationed at Ft. Sam Houston.

The imagery speaks for itself: a North American Union task force for integration. Biographies of commanders at the U.S. 5th Army north are in English, French, and Spanish. They want the entire Continent to know they are ready for them!

If there was every any question that the top Brass are in favor of the North American Union: these insignia indicate that they have already accepted the idea and are implementing it. This might be the payback for supporting the Obama regime: top Brass get military power over entire continent!

It is not known what the Ambassadors of Canada and Mexico would think, seeing the American Eagle superimposed over their own nations.

From the NORTHCOM website: (logo on this site is very different)

“U.S. Army North, the Army component of U.S. Northern Command, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., organized the event as part of its mission to support civil authorities during disaster.

The exercise is designed to fully coordinate the support that active military forces could be asked to provide states and the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the event of a major hurricane, said Maj. Gen. John Basilica, who commands U.S. Army North’s Operational Command Post 1.”

In other words, an in-your-face violation of "Posse Comitatus".

Today In The News!

Here it is Monday morning, Nov 2nd....a few days before the montrous Health Care bill is to voted upon and this is what is happening....

This administration is the most thin skinned and anti American people administration I have ever witnessed. We have a right to petition. Write or call your Senator and Congressman and tell them about you rights being violated. 202 -224 -3121

This weekend these activists are celebrating and preparing for the battle ahead. Here is an excerpt from the latest Obama team message:



“One year ago today, we were in the homestretch of the Obama for America campaign. I had been organizing on the ground in Ohio for months, with hundreds of incredible -- and exhausted -- staff, and thousands and thousands of amazing volunteers.

We were hopeful, but we didn't take anything for granted. As we watched the victorious results of your hard work come in -- state-by-state, county-by-county, precinct-by-precinct -- we were completely elated. I'm sure you felt the same way.

But that work wasn't finished, and it still isn't. That night, President-Elect Obama told us that the election victory was only the beginning of the change we all sought -- and today, through Organizing for America, we're fighting just as hard to make health insurance reform a reality, this year.”



As you can see from the message, these activists are focused on passing Obamacare. They believe that once their bill is passed, taking over 20 percent of the US economy, then weak willed Republicans won’t repeal it even if they win a majority in the US Congress next year.

It is more important than ever that we continue to focus on defeating this dangerous legislation.Finally, the highlight of the Sunday news shows was the appearance of Rush Limbaugh on FOXNEWS Sunday with Chris Wallace. If you haven’t watched the video, you are missing a treat. Rush slammed Obama calling him “immature,” "narcissistic," and "inexperienced," and a “radical leader.” Watch it here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/11/01/limbaugh_obama_is_a_threat_to_liberty.html

“He’s a child. I think he’s got a five minute career,” Limbaugh surmised.

I agree with what Rush said over the weekend...that every morning we wake up to a new battle on some front and it is like a never ending war! Have a great day all you patriots. We fight on. The keystroke is mightier than the sword.


"When I was young, my father used to say that some day this country would have two (2) Classes 'Jailers and Prisoners'. I did not understand what he meant then, but I sure do now."

Think about this....

"When the bill comes before congress to give illegal aliens voting rights, and it passes, legal voters votes will be null and void. If they can do it with HC, they can cram Amnesty thtough too. What then ?? I also think that there will be some concoction fabricated down the road to enable the left to declare Martial law and stop all future Elections.. what then ???"

"Riddle me this...

Why is it that if you cross the North Korean border illegally you get thrown into prison and get 12 years of hard labor?

If you cross the Iranian border while out supposedly leisurely hiking in the hills, you get arrested and imprisoned.

But if you cross the U.S. border illegally:

You get a drivers license, a Social Security card, fickin'Food Stamps, Welfare, Free health Care and Free Education!"
