A few months ago, I am on-record predicting that it is not possible to hijack the Tea Party or 912 movements. I was wrong – Both have since been hijacked!
In the U.S. political system and within the Tea Party and 912 movements, there are three fundamental sources of power.
1. Money
2. Collective Bargaining
3. Our Votes
The Money
The power of the people is not limited to their single vote. Much of their power is found in their wallet.
When constitutionally grounded conservatives stopped funding the Republican Party because the party stopped representing their core principles and values, they made the right move. But when they started funding RNC PACs instead, they made a huge mistake.
A lion’s share of the patriot capital has been hijacked by only a few national Tea Party, 912 and Freedom Works groups and in all cases, that money is being funneled back into “RINO” candidates that the people are fed up with.
Even World Net Daily, who has been pimping for Palin and others for months now, was recently forced to write about the Tea Party trend of endorsing only RNC blessed RINOs like John McCain and Carly Fiorina.
Times are tough, but people are still giving money in hopes that someone will save their nation for them. But that money has been hijacked and it is being funneled back into RNC candidates that will NOT change anything in DC, even if elected in November.
Collective Bargaining Power
The people can and must speak as one voice in order to confront the massive Democratic Socialist assault on all things American today. They must unite and fight against overwhelming odds if they are to have any hope of taking their nation and government back from the clutches of evil international socialists currently destroying the land of the free and home of the brave.
Only by working together can they hope to put down the dozens of affronts to individual freedom and liberty, and states’ rights – coming at us faster than we can react today.
But they have been united only in name and in false flag mock efforts that are going nowhere.
Thousands of Tea Party groups across the country have been reduced to financial donors for a couple BIG Tea Party lobby groups, or are operating at odds with and under threat from those groups.
Glenn Beck’s 912 operation lost its 9 principles and 12 values the minute Beck tossed his organization behind Dick Armey’s Freedom Works, which is nothing more than a standard RNC lobby group that supports the same amnesty and global economic policies promoted by Obama & Co.
The people’s collective power has been limited to signing useless petitions, attending useless rallies with no tangible purpose, forwarding email nonsense, ranting on blog talk radio shows that nobody listens to and wringing their hands while funneling money into power-brokers that are just as much the enemy of the people as Obama himself.
The people’s collective power has been misdirected into mock activities with no hope of affecting anything.
Your Individual Vote
The money has been hijacked and the collective bargaining power has been misdirected into wasted motions driven by emotion rather than sound strategy.
If you think your individual vote cannot be hijacked, think again. People forced to choose between Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina will feel great pressure to vote for Fiorina, even though Fiorina has a long-term relationship with Obama, his puppet masters and his communist mentors.
If you don’t vote, vote for someone who can’t win or vote for Fiorina, your vote has been hijacked. You will not get to use your vote to change the direction of this nation.
Profit Patriots
The sunshine patriots leading the movement nationally are focused exclusively on ringing the cash register. But they are not alone… Many local operations are trying their best to grab the cash too.
Unless you are willing to pay excessive speaking fees, you will not get any of the TV or Radio patriots to step up on behalf of freedom and liberty.
But even now as the entire free world knows that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT a “natural born citizen” eligible for the office he holds, and that his plan for America is not in any way American, try to find just one decent constitutional lawyer anywhere in the country – willing to step up and present the mountain of evidence against Obama and wait to hear how much they are going to charge for this “act of patriotism,” if they will touch the case for any amount of money…
Everyone in DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office. Even Ruth Ginsburg, the most extreme left member of the Supreme Court, has affirmed the proper meaning of “natural born citizen” which further confirms that Obama cannot be president according to the US Constitution.
Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean failed to vet and certify Barack Hussein Obama to forty-nine of the fifty states, and still Obama ended up on the ballot and in the White House.
Yet as Obama takes a wrecking ball to America day after day, there is not one legitimate patriot in congress, the courts or the legal profession, who is willing to come forward on behalf of the people and the future of American freedom.
Thousands of attorneys, living in pricey gated communities and rubbing elbows with the rich and famous on private jets and yachts could afford to take this case to the Supreme Court pro-bono. But not ONE of them will risk their high dollar lifestyle or their rich and famous communist friends for the outdated idea of freedom and liberty.
In case you have not figured it out on your own yet, not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is a Christian, not everyone who calls themselves a constitutionalist is a constitutionalist and not everyone who claims the honored name of Patriot, is a true patriot today.
We find our society and the patriot movement full of false prophets and false patriots at an hour in history when we can no longer afford to be fooled by fancy rhetoric and false front organizations that are just as dangerous to the future of this nation as the hardcore leftists in DC working around the clock to forever alter our system of government – bringing an end to individual freedom and liberty for all.
Peaceful Solutions
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We don’t need good intentions – we need the right tangible actions here.
Peaceful solutions to the dismantling of America are found in congress, the courts and the state legislatures or governors offices.
Name one court – one member of congress – one governor or one state legislature that is ready and willing to challenge the legitimacy of what they all know to be the most illegitimate president in US history?
You can’t do it… they don’t exist.
Many plead – “Where are our Soldiers?”
In Monroe County Tennessee, Retired LT. Commander of the Navy Walter F. Fitzpatrick, III stands trial for bringing Treason charges against Barack Hussein Obama. Where are the hundreds or thousands of local citizens (any citizen of the USA) who want answers to the same questions Fitzpatrick is asking in his home town of Sweetwater?
Lt. Colonel Terrence Lakin is standing Courts Martial by the US Military for demanding proof that his Commander-in-Chief is constitutionally eligible to issue military orders at the top of US Military Command. Where are the millions of American patriots who want answers to the same questions?
Here’s two of our soldiers… where are their supporters?
One of the two following statements is true about Glen Beck, Dick Armey, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh…
Either they are not aware of the term “natural born citizen” as a constitutional requirement for the office of president and vice president, and are therefore unfit for leadership of any kind…
Or, they all do know that Obama cannot hold office constitutionally and have sold out for a few pennies to the highest bidder, and are therefore unfit for leadership of any kind…
Take your pick, but either way, they are unfit for leadership. So, why are so many Americans willing to follow people like this?
The US Supreme Court can reach down and take up any case they want. But even with a 5-4 pro-constitution court, nobody on that court will reach down and answer the most important question in US history – Who the hell is Barack Hussein Obama?
But no matter how many cases have been filed asking this question – no matter how and where those cases have been filed – no matter how many times lower courts have told US citizens that it is essentially none of their business – the high court has done nothing!
July 4th 2010
A few days ago, the nation celebrated Independence Day as though there was nothing wrong in our country. Yet, our government is broken and bankrupt – our Constitution and unalienable rights hang by a thread – we have the most corrupt administration in US history running roughshod over the people and the states and nobody seems to notice…
Or, maybe the people have noticed and have made a calculated decision…
The price of freedom and liberty is just too high!
I am nearly convinced that there are very few American citizens left with the brains and backbone to live free. I am nearly convinced that we have finally raised a generation of wimps too consumed by self-interest to realize that they are losing it all, right in front of their eyes, but lack the sense and will to stop it.
If ten million citizens sign the circulating petition demanding the resignation of Barack Obama, do you think Obama will resign? If not – what is the purpose of that petition?
Two million citizens showed up in DC last year for the 912 event and nobody in DC cared. Even FOX News reported only 70,000 of those 2 million. No matter how many show up this year, what difference do you expect it to make?
Are you happy with your donations to Tea Party groups going to fund candidates like McCain and Fiorina? If not, why are you still funding those PACs?
What are we doing?
There’s a talking thing and a doing thing…. Millions of Americans have opinions about lots of things, some of which they know nothing about.
But the time for cheap talk has long passed… what are we doing to save this country? Are there enough Americans left to even mount a half-hearted defense of freedom and liberty?
For my entire adult life, I have fought to inform and energize the people to take back control of their nation while they still had peaceful means of doing so. At this late date, I see no evidence that the people are ready to do anything real and tangible. Do you?
Somebody tell me why we should bother to fight any further.
Saving my family is much easier than saving my country. Yet I risk my family every day in an effort to save my nation and so does every individual who is willing to take a real stand against the tyranny we are already living under.
Who in his right mind would continue to do that, when all I see is people stuffing their pockets, positioning for power or pretending to fight through meaningless mock initiatives?
Can someone tell me what we are doing here?
Like it or not, the DNC fraudulently elected an unconstitutional president in 2008 and our country has been driven toward ruin every day since. The silver bullet solution is to force Obama & his fraud partners from office on constitutional grounds and it is the right thing to do.
Are there enough decent citizens left who are willing to do the right thing?
IMHO, this is one of JB’s best articles to date. Maybe it’s b/c I’ve followed what started as a grassroots movement, the Tea Party, to an outright takeover by the neocons. Sad but true.
Long ago, ms. helga. long ago. But since we the people are the soul, and we now know what we now know, then we can restore that soul. it’s the “how” that is most befuddling.
Helen – We have removed and replaced God with Materialism. Plain and simple. I fear we have lost.
Lord Acton’s dictum – Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or certainty of corruption by full authority. THERE IS NO WORSE HERESY THAN THE FACT THAT THE OFFICE SANCTIFIES THE HOLDER OF IT.”
Words of truth – I was just reading updates from Madsen on the Gulf massacre and my heart is weeping. It is truly bad down there. NOAA is sitting on imagery that shows a fissure about seven miles away from DeepWater Horizon is spewing oil more rapidly than DW. The chemical bleaching of the barrier islands is killing all that once thrived on this pristine islands. This is intentional and deliberate. No question about it.
We all must grieve and recognize the real truth so as to rise up and remove this most diabolical cabal of evil people. I can’t give up yet. It’s not a part of my spirit.
i chose to invest in seeds. lots of seeds. i know it sounds crazy, but self sustainment is more important to me than buying “things”. so, that said, how do you see this smoke and mirrors gold game affecting investors? i am in need of a bit of education. thanks in advance.
As in all things in nature, best to diversify. Seeds are good, having a plot of land to grow food is good, sources of energy not connected to the grid are good (eg. solar)but gold is also good.
I posted that article for the same reason I last posted. There is much deception where gold is concerned. If the Chinese are hoarding and trying to hide that fact, you KNOW gold is and will be important, the real stuff preferably. Gold is a safe haven, and won’t be used just to buy “things” as the modern world knows it. It will buy food, clothing and shelter.
We still have time, perhaps two years to accumulate as much gold as one can, because the general public is still in the dark about this fact. Once the masses are unleashed it will be harder.
This is not urgent, but it does need attention, preferably sooner.
I learned the other day that a family member of mine was selling their “odds and ends” gold and thought they’d made a small fortune. I pounced on the topic immediately, because these are the kind of stories that are truly telling. The boys on the street know what they’re doing.
So yes, seeds are important, but not enough on their own.
Thanks for this thoughtful advice. We’ve looked into gold and silver. Many are now saying, due to gold prices move 1/3 of investments into Gold and 2/3 into silver. Your thoughts?
I’m no financial advisor, but perhaps I can offer a couple of things.
Advisors routinely suggest placing 5-10% of your investments in gold. But I believe that is only historically relevant and doesn’t take into account the broader context.
Gerald Celente for example says the biggest portion of his investment is in gold and a much smaller amount in oil. That was about 1-2 years ago.
Many are now recommending about 30%.
However if you accept the premise that gold is money and fiat currencies worldwide are drowning, 30% does not seem sufficient.
However one has to take into account many particulars. For example, if I were living on a farm with many built-in self-sufficiences I would worry less about the relative balance of one’s assets.
As to the weighing of gold and silver, that’s a tough call for many reasons. There is not much gold, but even less silver, much, much less worldwide, both available and unmined. Silver has many more industrial applications than gold.
One can go on with many rational justifications to support silver’s preference but I think the bottom line is that gold has a powerful ideological draw not fully shared by silver.
On that basis it will draw the crowds. One then has to decide to what advantage/disadvantage that presents. Silver will be more scarce and therefore more desirable and more costly relatively speaking. But that is longterm and that could be 5 to 10 years down the road. Since one cannot know why not a 50-50 split?
50/50 strikes me as the way to go based on your understanding of the gold/silver market.
As you come upon other material feel free to post. I typically read and post them on the Daily Specials Board. It’s these types of articles our reader’s need to be made aware of, and our lurkers and posters I know appreciate all the education on this market they can get, including me.
Top of the morning to you. Thanks once again for sharing anoter informative post, essentially another wake-up call, sounding the alarm of old, akin to Paul Revere’s ride.
Keep the faith, even a hugh halftime lead can evaporate if the opposition gets too full of themselves–akin to a case of Goliath syndrome. You, and our modern-day patriots here will prevail in the end. Back next week to lurk some more and learn. Have a great week.
Just stopping by to post a quick note and try to catch up.
On my road trip Monday I tuned in to Sean Hannity – can’t stand him, haven’t listened to him in ages, but nothing else on the air waves in the middle of nowhere. Shocked to hear the “stuff” he was spewing – “the rise in anti-semetic rhetoric and the fear of another holocaust.” GIVE ME A BREAK. Guess the massacre of the Gaza Flotilla has those radical right-wing Zionists a little worried. Countries and peoples are putting pressure on Israel and the U.S. and a little damage control is needed. FAUX NEWS to the rescue. Then “forced” to watch a bit of Beck tonight – whom I can’t stand since he destroyed Medina during the Texas Governor’s race with his Zionist trap. Seems he’s turned religious educator – guess he couldn’t make it as a rodeo clown so he’s trying his hand at this. Are people really this stupid? Tuning to the new FAUX News evanlelist for a little early evening bible class. Quickly grabbed the barf bag. Educating the masses on Black Liberation Theology. We all know the basis of this teaching. Does he know that Rome is burning? Nah. Probably not. Does anyone else see what is being set up? Doesn’t get any more obvious than this.
The use of religion to control a people is the oldest strategy in the book. Stay tuned.
Sorry if this is a repeat- I have not been able to catch up completely since my show. Below is from the latest C. Story report:
“CIA/MI6.OBAMA/BUSH SR./CHENEY ORDERED CHISTOPHER STORY’S ASSASSINATION
AND ARE SUPRISED AND TERRIFIED THAT HE IS NOT DEAD
OBAMA AND BUSH ‘SPOKEN TO’ BY MEN WITH GUNS
• When ‘President’ Barack Hussein Obama touched down on the White House Lawn at 5:30pm on 9th July, he was ‘spoken to’. Enquiries by this service confirm that those doing the ‘speaking’ were not Secret Service operatives. On the contrary they were men with guns.
• Within the past 24-30 hours, private citizen George Godfather H. W. Bush Sr. has likewise been ‘spoken to’ twice. The people doing the ‘speaking’ were men with guns.
• The Chinese have had enough and are ready to take drastic lethal measures.
• Private citizens George H. W. Bush Sr. and Neil Bush think they are immortal and can take the loot they are blocking to the grave.
• Obama, who answers to the private citizen George H. W. Bush Sr., is saying he’s a ‘national citizen’. In order to be President of the United States, under the Constitution and the Soldiers and Sailors Act, you have to be a NATURAL citizen born in the United States or born in a US military family serving abroad.
CIA/CHENEY/MI6/OBAMA/BUSH SR. HAVE ATTEMPTED
TO ASSASSINATE CHRISTOPHER STORY
A detailed report on this assassination attempt and the horrible illness inflicted on the Editor as a consequence will be published as soon as feasible.
•We now have proof that the CIA/MI6/Obama/Bush/Cheney issued an assassination order against this Editor. We have proof that they are suprised that the Editor is not dead.”
UPDATE: Just heard the humanitarian aid ship from Libya docked safely in Egypt. They had wanted to dock at the port in Gaza, but Israel once again pulling their usual bullying tactics sent warships to stop them. A massacre was averted, but…
Sorry I haven’t been “pulling my weight” here, lately, but got into the “all politics is local” frame of mind and started seeing what I could do.
Helen, I bought heirloom seeds before spring and my garden is doing well. Adventures in canning will be imminent. I’ve never done that before! And what I wouldn’t give for a root cellar!
Nice to see ms helga here.
Did anyone see Beck yesterday? Wish I was still taping his shows. SOMETIMES he truly blows me away, yesterday’s show was stellar. He exposed the formula for using Christian concepts and twisting them to facilitate marxism. GEEZ, not explaining well. Going to look for the show on youtube.
Hey Kim – could you tell us what you mean by “all politics is local”? Aren’t you doing something to organize your neighbors? If so, could you elaborate? I’d like to learn more about what you are doing and how it’s working for you.
Looks like Obama is a bit limited in his choices of people to fill vacancies in his administration. Peter Orzag – Finance Director who is resigning soon will be replaced by Mr. Lew, an Orthodox Jew. Gee, who could have seen that one coming? Do we have any Christians with degrees in finance LOYAL TO ONE COUNTRY – UNITED STATES FIRST SECOND AND THIRD – that could do the job? Starting to sound like a conspiracy theory, isn’t it?
I think I’ve figured out what you’re saying regarding Sylvia. She’s very well read, as you know, on the subject of Germany, Hitler, the Holocaust and the tragedy of the war in Yugoslavia – her birth country. When you read her posts you see how the American people know little about what really happened and more over how we’ve been “played” – still are being played.
I read recently that until the Six Day War in Israel – also referred to “The Land Grab” – the Jews did not use the Holocaust to “elevate” themselves in society. That all changed and the U.S. perceived Israel’s stregth in their “win” and decided to use them as a major ally to gain a strong foothold in the Middle East. (hard to say who is really using who now) Then the blitz began and everything “holocaust” was & continues to be used to the Zionist’s advantage.
Finklestein indicates in his book, “The Holocaust Industry,” that unlike other ethnic groups who decry their victimization, including Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, womens, gays & lesbians, Jews alone are NOT disavantaged in American society. In fact, Finklestein writes, “after WWII, Jews rose to pereminence in the U.S. According to Lipset and Raab, per capita Jewish income is almost double that of non-Jews; sixteen of the forth wealthiest Americans are Jews; 40% of American Nobel Prize winners in science and economics are Jewish,as are 20% of professors at major universities; and 40% of partners in the leading law firms in NY York and Washington.”
If we remember that over 90% of the media is owned and controlled by these same folks, including Discovery Channel AND The History Channel, we begin to understand why we’ve been inundated with stories of Hitler and the Holocaust.
I am NOT saying it didn’t happen and I am NOT saying it wasn’t tragic. It was. It was horrific. But why is it necessary to keep that one particular event in history prominent in the media and minds of the American people? Why are we being “held hostage mentally?” Haven’t others suffered as the Jews have?
That’s exactly what Finkelstein is saying, as a Jew. It’s been turned into an industry to be used to Israel’s radical right wing Likud’s party’s advantage.
I have to run…Helen, you may want to keep your eye on this breaking story on PressTV -
TWO EXPLOSIONS IN IRAN
Two explosions have hit the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan, leaving “several dead and injured,” IRNA reports.
The first explosion occurred at 9:20 p.m. local time (1650 GMT) in front of the city’s Grand Mosque, followed by a second blast within minutes, IRNA said.
“It is not yet possible to announce the exact number of those killed and injured in the incident,” IRNA quoted a police official in Sistan- Baluchestan province as saying.
Jalal Sayyah said emergency forces have arrived at the scene, adding that investigation is underway as to determine what caused the blasts.
Venice, this is exactly what I suspected. PressTV has an article up this a.m. and it appears the U.S. & Israel are involved in these blasts in Iran. Big Surprise, huh?
Remember Rigi? The now departed Jundallah terrorist ring leader funded by millions of our taxpayer’s dollars revealed before his execution in Iran this is what to expect. And so it begins…..The goal, as we’ve heard it from Webster Tarpley many times, is to get the Sunni Muslims & Shiite Muslims fighting amongst themselves to create the deadly division necessary for THE ultimate goal of war with Iran.
IMHO, judging from the very recent headlines in the online U.S. rags, the same ploy has suddenly reared its ugly head here and is being used with the American people, especially the Tea Party – the racial tension/divide. We all know Soros is infamous for this stirring here, having funded many of the riots and marches for Blacks & now Latinos over the years.
It sickens me to see the utter disregard for human life. It’s even more sickening knowing my country is behind it – or even a part of it.
Having followed some of the gold market, I suspect Soros is leading the band with gold as well and in the same manner. It’s no coincidence that everybody knows that Soros is heavily invested in gold, but he’s a billionaire and can buy gold bullions, as many as he wants.
The majority will be heavily invested in ETF’s and when the timing is right millions will lose millions in the gold market. I believe the timetable is at least 2 years off for that, but that is what is happening. The small investor will ultimately invest in gold, purportedly as a safe haven, and then the rug will be pulled out from under them.
So invest in gold now while the masses have yet to understand that a bubble is only in its very early stages, but beware when the axe will fall, because it will. Remember the goal here is to crush the middle class.
Thanks for the financial update. It is very much appreciated. Trying to out guess those who like to “play” with other people’s financial future is frustrating and even seems futile at times.
This story will resonate strongly with those who have been engaged in the political world of the last few years. Clearly the bullying of those in charge has been fierce for over a decade. Same sociopathic behavior, different venue. Sound familiar?

Helen,
I am really looking forward to reading this article by JB. I’m on a tight time table this a.m. and hope to catch up later this evening.
OUR NATION HAS SOLD IT’S SOUL

Further to my last post, this expands the content. The last couple of paragraphs are especially important for those invested in gold.

A couple of thoughts –
Prairie, you and your sister remain in prayers and thoughts. Hope you are taking care of yourself.
Kim, I’d love to hear how your new project is going? I want to learn from you.
JM, hope all is great in the city.
Hi Helen,
Top of the morning to you. Thanks once again for sharing anoter informative post, essentially another wake-up call, sounding the alarm of old, akin to Paul Revere’s ride.

You have a great week too, Al. Always welcome your uplifting words of encouragement. Most appreciated by all.

Good Evening, all
Just stopping by to post a quick note and try to catch up.
On my road trip Monday I tuned in to Sean Hannity – can’t stand him, haven’t listened to him in ages, but nothing else on the air waves in the middle of nowhere.

Sorry if this is a repeat- I have not been able to catch up completely since my show. Below is from the latest C. Story report:
“CIA/MI6.OBAMA/BUSH SR./CHENEY ORDERED CHISTOPHER STORY’S ASSASSINATION
AND ARE SUPRISED AND TERRIFIED THAT HE IS NOT DEAD
OBAMA AND BUSH ‘SPOKEN TO’ BY MEN WITH GUNS
• When ‘President’ Barack Hussein Obama touched down on the White House Lawn at 5:30pm on 9th July, he was ‘spoken to’. Enquiries by this service confirm that those doing the ‘speaking’ were not Secret Service operatives. On the contrary they were men with guns.
• Within the past 24-30 hours, private citizen George Godfather H. W. Bush Sr. has likewise been ‘spoken to’ twice. The people doing the ‘speaking’ were men with guns.
• The Chinese have had enough and are ready to take drastic lethal measures.
• Private citizens George H. W. Bush Sr. and Neil Bush think they are immortal and can take the loot they are blocking to the grave.
• Obama, who answers to the private citizen George H. W. Bush Sr., is saying he’s a ‘national citizen’. In order to be President of the United States, under the Constitution and the Soldiers and Sailors Act, you have to be a NATURAL citizen born in the United States or born in a US military family serving abroad.
CIA/CHENEY/MI6/OBAMA/BUSH SR. HAVE ATTEMPTED
TO ASSASSINATE CHRISTOPHER STORY
A detailed report on this assassination attempt and the horrible illness inflicted on the Editor as a consequence will be published as soon as feasible.
•We now have proof that the CIA/MI6/Obama/Bush/Cheney issued an assassination order against this Editor. We have proof that they are suprised that the Editor is not dead.”

Thankyou for your thoughts and prayers for my sister, we are still waiting on the results from Mayo.
UPDATE: Just heard the humanitarian aid ship from Libya docked safely in Egypt. They had wanted to dock at the port in Gaza, but Israel once again pulling their usual bullying tactics sent warships to stop them. A massacre was averted, but…
Well, hello there, stranger. How were things in the big city? I hope all went well.
Sorry I haven’t been “pulling my weight” here, lately, but got into the “all politics is local” frame of mind and started seeing what I could do.
Helen, I bought heirloom seeds before spring and my garden is doing well. Adventures in canning will be imminent. I’ve never done that before! And what I wouldn’t give for a root cellar!
Nice to see ms helga here.
Did anyone see Beck yesterday? Wish I was still taping his shows. SOMETIMES he truly blows me away, yesterday’s show was stellar. He exposed the formula for using Christian concepts and twisting them to facilitate marxism. GEEZ, not explaining well. Going to look for the show on youtube.
Hey Kim – could you tell us what you mean by “all politics is local”? Aren’t you doing something to organize your neighbors? If so, could you elaborate? I’d like to learn more about what you are doing and how it’s working for you.
MOM’S PROUD
DAD’S PROUD
BIBI’S PROUD
Young Israeli women find their place in society – behind a “joystick” killing Palestinians in Gaza.
In only one week – ONE WEEK – women can be trained on the “spot and kill” video type game as recruitment in military declines.
Comforting to know your daughter has done her part in serving her country and being a part of the Gaza isn’t it?
Betcha American tax dollars have funded this, too.

Edit to above post:

SHOULD READ:
Comforting to know your daughter has done her part, serving her country taking part in the holocaust of the people in Gaza, isn’t it?!
Looks like Obama is a bit limited in his choices of people to fill vacancies in his administration. Peter Orzag – Finance Director who is resigning soon will be replaced by Mr. Lew, an Orthodox Jew. Gee, who could have seen that one coming? Do we have any Christians with degrees in finance LOYAL TO ONE COUNTRY – UNITED STATES FIRST SECOND AND THIRD – that could do the job? Starting to sound like a conspiracy theory, isn’t it?
JM – how about Victoria, Canada?
SUGGESTED READING for Americans:
THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY by Jewish author & professor, Norman G. Finkelstein
Helen, not sure what you’re asking about Canada???
think???? Sylvia lives less than 40 miles away. check out WMR’s thread.
Helen,
I think I’ve figured out what you’re saying regarding Sylvia. She’s very well read, as you know, on the subject of Germany, Hitler, the Holocaust and the tragedy of the war in Yugoslavia – her birth country. When you read her posts you see how the American people know little about what really happened and more over how we’ve been “played” – still are being played.
I read recently that until the Six Day War in Israel – also referred to “The Land Grab” – the Jews did not use the Holocaust to “elevate” themselves in society. That all changed and the U.S. perceived Israel’s stregth in their “win” and decided to use them as a major ally to gain a strong foothold in the Middle East. (hard to say who is really using who now) Then the blitz began and everything “holocaust” was & continues to be used to the Zionist’s advantage.
Finklestein indicates in his book, “The Holocaust Industry,” that unlike other ethnic groups who decry their victimization, including Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, womens, gays & lesbians, Jews alone are NOT disavantaged in American society. In fact, Finklestein writes, “after WWII, Jews rose to pereminence in the U.S. According to Lipset and Raab, per capita Jewish income is almost double that of non-Jews; sixteen of the forth wealthiest Americans are Jews; 40% of American Nobel Prize winners in science and economics are Jewish,as are 20% of professors at major universities; and 40% of partners in the leading law firms in NY York and Washington.”
If we remember that over 90% of the media is owned and controlled by these same folks, including Discovery Channel AND The History Channel, we begin to understand why we’ve been inundated with stories of Hitler and the Holocaust.
I am NOT saying it didn’t happen and I am NOT saying it wasn’t tragic. It was. It was horrific. But why is it necessary to keep that one particular event in history prominent in the media and minds of the American people? Why are we being “held hostage mentally?” Haven’t others suffered as the Jews have?
That’s exactly what Finkelstein is saying, as a Jew. It’s been turned into an industry to be used to Israel’s radical right wing Likud’s party’s advantage.
EDIT TO ABOVE POST:
sixteen of the forth wealthiest Americans are Jews;
Should read — sixteen of the forty
I have to run…Helen, you may want to keep your eye on this breaking story on PressTV -
TWO EXPLOSIONS IN IRAN
Two explosions have hit the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan, leaving “several dead and injured,” IRNA reports.
The first explosion occurred at 9:20 p.m. local time (1650 GMT) in front of the city’s Grand Mosque, followed by a second blast within minutes, IRNA said.
“It is not yet possible to announce the exact number of those killed and injured in the incident,” IRNA quoted a police official in Sistan- Baluchestan province as saying.
Jalal Sayyah said emergency forces have arrived at the scene, adding that investigation is underway as to determine what caused the blasts.

Thanks JustMe,
I was wondering when this story would hit the NYT.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/17/world/middleeast/17tehran.html?_r=1&hp
Good Morning, All
Venice, this is exactly what I suspected. PressTV has an article up this a.m. and it appears the U.S. & Israel are involved in these blasts in Iran. Big Surprise, huh?
Remember Rigi? The now departed Jundallah terrorist ring leader funded by millions of our taxpayer’s dollars revealed before his execution in Iran this is what to expect. And so it begins…..The goal, as we’ve heard it from Webster Tarpley many times, is to get the Sunni Muslims & Shiite Muslims fighting amongst themselves to create the deadly division necessary for THE ultimate goal of war with Iran.
IMHO, judging from the very recent headlines in the online U.S. rags, the same ploy has suddenly reared its ugly head here and is being used with the American people, especially the Tea Party – the racial tension/divide. We all know Soros is infamous for this stirring here, having funded many of the riots and marches for Blacks & now Latinos over the years.
It sickens me to see the utter disregard for human life. It’s even more sickening knowing my country is behind it – or even a part of it.

JustMe,
Having followed some of the gold market, I suspect Soros is leading the band with gold as well and in the same manner. It’s no coincidence that everybody knows that Soros is heavily invested in gold, but he’s a billionaire and can buy gold bullions, as many as he wants.
The majority will be heavily invested in ETF’s and when the timing is right millions will lose millions in the gold market. I believe the timetable is at least 2 years off for that, but that is what is happening. The small investor will ultimately invest in gold, purportedly as a safe haven, and then the rug will be pulled out from under them.
So invest in gold now while the masses have yet to understand that a bubble is only in its very early stages, but beware when the axe will fall, because it will. Remember the goal here is to crush the middle class.
Venice,
Thanks for the financial update. It is very much appreciated. Trying to out guess those who like to “play” with other people’s financial future is frustrating and even seems futile at times.
oh my, it’s getting worse – http://www.activistpost.com/2010/07/is-communism-new-capitalism-6-fortune.html

In the meantime gold should do very well.

This story will resonate strongly with those who have been engaged in the political world of the last few years. Clearly the bullying of those in charge has been fierce for over a decade. Same sociopathic behavior, different venue. Sound familiar?
