The new EU Ambassador has taken over from the EU vassal states, announcing that he will be leading the show in Washington DC when it comes the vassal states of the EU.
Of course, this is something I expected, as the EU has it’s own UN ambassador as well. Of course this was all played down before the sheeple in Europe agreed to this.

First, I think we should stop fighting undeclared wars. That said, somehow Afhanhistan is a NATO operation. In fact NATO lists McChrystal as “Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), General Stanley McChrystal ”. I have to think that it’s up to NATO how to deal with the U.S. soldier on LOAN to them from the United States.
Of course that is if NATO is really in charge of anything other than spending money. Note the difference in how McChrystal is being treated than Raum Emmauel. There is definetely a double standard when the White House stands behind a man who went up and threatened congressmen in the showers. McChrystal is the kind of person who tries to do their best and maintain the highest standards, and will of course, resign if asked (or even hinted).
Why wouldn’t he? He is instantly going to be one of the most respected people in the world, regardless of the morality or legality of the Afghanistan situation, as he was doing the job asked, however relunctantly, but as good as it could be done. He wasn’t golfing, going to concerts or even spending time with his family.
In other words, he was doing what we always say about the military. Protecting the country as our elected officials were directing him to do so, even though it meant that he put in more working hours in a month than Obama has done his entire time as president.
But, somehow he isn’t politically correct enough, a man who voted for Obama. Right now I think McChrystal should be president, not for his political savvy or for his economics, but just because he’s the hardest working civil servant I’ve ever seen, and I think he does it because he wants what is best for America. And that might not mean endless wars overseas.
I hope Obama encourages him to resign, I think hope that he meets with Ron Paul and frankly explains his foreign and economic policies with Congress Paul, becase I trust Ron Paul to at least ask some decent questions. At the least McChrystal should be put in charge of the gulf oil spill because he does work non stop until someone yanks on his chain.

It seems to that Rand Paul is finding it hard to say the right things anymore. After he was attacked for saying he didn’t think that the government should leave businesses alone. Of course this played out that Rand Paul must be opposed to civil rights. Rather than try to point out that all people should have the same rights Rand Paul has come out now supporting the government regulating businesses in the name of civil right. What is more is that Rand Paul has complained about Obama taking the nuclear option off the table in regards to Iran.
Unfortunately, I think that Rand Paul is being handled by someone now and that he will gradually become the very thing that he was allegedly against. -

As many people might be aware, Rand Paul has won the Republican Nomination in Kentucky. Rand Paul is an eye doctor who helped start a Lions eye clinic in Kentucky and is the son of Dr. Ron Paul.
Rand defeated the GOP handpicked candidate who had the support of Dick Cheney and Guillani. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a sea change in politcs.

First, I appreciate the services that Google offers, but I have to say that the trend towards Google’s censoring of the internet is disturbing.
I admit that I was saddened when I found out that unless you EXPLICTLY target my web site, Google will return zero results. It seems that it could be worse. Apparently Google has decided (much like Obama has said to do) that certain “information” is harmful for people to have, namely that Obama’s Social Security Number was issued to someone who applied for it in Connecticut.
I’ve long believed that the problem with Google is that it is a part of the intelligence community, which was it’s real problem with China, not that fake argument about censorship, because Google has been controlling the information that it returns for a while now, it’s just becoming more blatant.
The real reason why Obama wants Kagan on the Supreme Court is so that Obama (or his succesor) can control the internet. Under Kagan the office of the Solicitor General has stated that she believes the government should be able to ban books that it does not like. I find it interesting that so many so called “liberal” or progressives stay silent when a Democratic president wants to appoint fascists to the Supreme court.
Finally I wasn’t going to mention it, but also no one on the so called “left” is crying about how, if Kagan is appointed to the Supreme Court, 2% of the population will make up 33% of the Supreme Court, now that’s commitment to diversity (for Pat Buchanan’s article about this click here).

It appears that the GOP dirty tricks might have backfired in Kentucky.
Basically the GOP told Dr. James Dobson falsehoods about Rand, which resulted in Dr. Dobson making an ad endorsing Rand in which he tells of how he was mislead into making an embarassing mistake.
Now recent polls show Rand ahead by more than the margin of undecided voters. I think this is quite interesting because the other day a veteran was talking to me about how Rand Paul is being pushed out, apparently he listens to the GOP talking heads as well.
In any case, the only poll that counts is the one that will be counted Tuesday night in Kentucky. Hopefully Rand Paul will win, which will send a message to both parties that people are tired of the same old lies.

Often I (as many writers do) assume that people know more than they really do about an issue.
With that in mind, I am writing this article about the likely (with the support of concerned citizens like you) Republican Candidate for Senate in Kentucky, Rand Paul. This is someone who the New York Times was surprised that has never held an elected position before (he is an eye doctor and his father is the former presidential candidate Ron Paul).
I think it’s interesting that the Mainstream Media is so concerned about experience in politics, now that Obama is president, but letting that pass, why are the pigs at the trough so concerned about Rand Paul, that AIG is giving money freely to Rand’s opponent (a former democrat who favors earmarks)?
Because Rand Paul is not a party insider, he is not out to serve any special interests, except the interests of liberty. While some people may well claim that the constitution is a flawed document, the idea of putting the notions of freedom and liberty first deserve a voice in politics. And freedom and liberty are not something that are decided FOR you, no matter how well intentioned the decisions might be (and I have severe doubts about the intentions of most politicians).
We need to stop the false tolerance, that is really intolerance, like this story of a man who comitted suicide because he was suspended after he made a joke to a longtime friend of his that referred to the man’s skin color (the friend claimed he didn’t make the complaint, it was some other person who overheard the remark). There is no end of laws that are being made, and the governments are all to willing to pull laws from the dusty shelves to pummel us.
There are two sets of rules, one where the super rich (like Lord Rothschild) tell us to save the earth, but then campaign to have trains moved far away from their immense estates. And of course the so called mainstream news wants to erect “pay walls” which will only make the situation where you have public television like the BBC airing essentially paid propaganda (like their show on Carbon Trading), worse.
Now I understand that people can’t write about something that they have no interest in whatsoever, but there was a time when I believed that the news was, well impartial. I don’t think that is the case now, and I feel it’s indeed rare not to have a puppet in any major office.
For those reasons, and probably more, you should at least take a look at Rand Paul, because I think that is one of the major elections of this year.

It appears that robotic lawyers are now legal. Having been to a “trial” in which the judge (who was the only person in the remote court room I could see) appeared on a closed circuit television, where after he let all sorts of felons (who had been eluding capture) be released on their own recognizance, told me that either I paid bail (which I couldn’t since the police had thrown my wallet away after taking my license) or I plead no contest to the criminal charge of failing to sign a citation, I am not surprised.
Which brings us to this item at Wired.com, in which Google deleted blogs that had broken links to files that, even if they were working, some of the sites had permission to use the files. Of course, Google does have a tendency to delete blogs that they don’t like, so pretending that Google protects free speech is like pretending Obama really is the Prince of Peace.
In other words, the computer robot swore under penalty of perjury that files that DIDN”T exist were infringing. Unfortunately judges love corporations more than they tolerate people, so don’t expect the corporate machine to get slapped. This is similar to the Apex Technology issue, where a judge decided to remove websites just because a company felt that posting information about it’s “indentured servitude” policies were infringing.
Of course, there is a solution being proposed by the “mainstream” media and their corporate masters, require an license to use the Internet!
You might laugh but such a solution was made public by Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Craig Mundie last month at the Davos Economic Forum and enthusatically embreaced by Time Magazine, which is discussed in more detail by Paul Watson.
What’s funny is that when China censors people we cry how they are stifling human rights, yet when the U.S. government does it (and certain speech on the internet is already a criminal act in the United States). There are numerous laws out there to trip up the unwary political activist, and things being what they are, it’s best to tread carefully, because you can’t expect the U.S. government to protect the human rights of U.S. citizens.

According to The Washington Independent, people in Kentucky are getting “survery” phone calls that then become personal attacks if they indicate that they are leaning towards voting for Rand Paul in the Republican primary in Kentucky for U.S. Senate.
Of couse this isn’t something that should surprise people, except that the election in Kentucky is in May, and there are already GOP insiders having live people call up potential voters not to say anything good about the establishment candidate, but rather to attack Rand Paul’s conservative principles (e.g. Rand Paul believes in freedom, therefore he is against torture, you don’t want the terrorists to win, do you?).

It seems that nature just isn’t playing along with my friends who believe that man made global warming is going to drown us as the waters rise 200 feet.
The Himalayan glaciers seem to be growing along with 11 other major glacier ranges. And it turns out the IPCC made up claims about how man made global warming was effecting the Amazon rain forest as well. Now, I am not too happy about the fact that it seems that the earth might actually be cooling, because, I worry about the future of food, especially since we are diverting food to produce biofuels, which a World Bank report says has driven the cost of food up by 75%! If the planet is cooling that means lower crop yields, and even more than the 1 Billion people that were need of food last year will need food in the coming year.
But some people believe that is really the point of the green movement, that a return to nature means the end of humanity as we know it. Prince Phillip, a big supporter of the World Wildlife Fund (a source of many of the claims that the IPCC made) thinks the Ebola virus would be a great thing to be unleashed in the world.
But I am sure he really cares about you.

According to an article at VoltaireNet.org, Obama got the peace prize for his work in turning Kenya back into a vassal state. Apparently Obama was sent there on one plane, at U.S. government expense, and another plane followed him with “retired” special ops officers who had bags of money. This was to counter the movement of Kenya towards China.
Obama actively campaigned for his cousin, and was supported by Madeline Albright (former Clinton Sec. of State) who was at that time the chairperson of the National Democratic Institute, which seems to be a CIA operation to “spread democracy”. For some reason, after Odinga lost the election text message spams were sent out inciting the people to violence. Albright came in, and then gave the show over to the Nowegian Olsa Center for Peace and Human rights.
In return for supporting Thorbjørn Jaglandfor the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, it’s alleged that he sheperaded the Obama nomination through.
Obviously this makes more sense than that it no longer matters what someone did, just how good they sound to give them a Nobel prize. Of course, the sounding good does explain the Al Gore getting the Nobel prize.

Keith Olbermann (a host on MSNBC that is like the crack ridden “liberal” version of O’Reilly), attempted to further promote the false idea that Scott Brown was somehow “far right”. John Stewart (a liberal comedian) helps Keith find the way back to a semblance of reality. What this really shows is how the false choices of “far right” or “far left” are just thrown out to pretend that there are real choices in elections.

Some would say that the United States is bankrupt, and I agree that the government of the United States is morally and fiscally beyond bankrupt. That said, it seems that Obama wants to destroy any real hope of a recovery.
Let me explain. Obama doesn’t support the re-institution of the Glass-Seagall act provisions that prevented the same entity from creating credit and using that same credit that it created to invest. This was what created the dot-com boom, and it’s what put the banking system (which I am not happy about for other reasons) into the current state of affair.
Instead, Obama, under the guise of banking reform, will force banks (real ones, not the fake Goldman-Sachs banks) to make the loans that the government allows them to make, forcing industry to either look to China, Japan or Europe for large financial outlays. In exchange for these loans, companies will be encouraged to move their factories to those regions.
Obama is helping this move with GM announcing that it will start importing Chinese made cars last year, much of the funding done by the U.S. government bank that was explictly created for the purpose of moving business overseas as this article explains:
in practically every instance, U.S. taxpayers are tapped to subsidize loans and loan guarantees used to finance the export of auto manufacturing overseas. One of the chief conduits of this corrupt corporate welfare is the Export-Import Bank Export-import Bank (Ex-IM Bank)
The U.S. federal government agency that extends trade credits to U.S. companies to facilitate the financing of U.S. exports. (Eximbank), created in 1934 during the FDR administration for the express purpose of financing trade deals with Josef Stalin’s Soviet regime. At present, Eximbank provides over $15.5 billion in taxpayer-subsidized loans or loan guarantees annually.
So the only U.S. government entity that is called a “BANK” (the Federal reserve is not an agency of the United States government, though many people think otherwise) only exists to MOVE business overseas. This will accelerate under the current plans of the administration, in fact I think just the yapping about these plans are encouraging any reasonable business entity to find a non-United States international home.
The reality is that there is no longer any incentive for “large” banks to loan to small net worth individuals and businesses, and small banks are going to be forced out of the market because they are too small to be allowed to grow under the crazy Obama plan. In fact, the Obama National Socialism plan combines government with big banks to control every aspect of people’s lives.
It’s interesting that it seems that Obama’s communications regulatory expert, Cass Sunstien, has advocated the criminalization of speech against Anthropogenic Global Warming, even as more evidence is coming out about the incredible amount of manipulation of the data that is not being reported. But why would it be, when the people who put Obama in power controlled the media to ensure that he rose to power in the first place.
An interesting example is how Scott Brown is characterized as “far right“. The real Scott Brown, has not ever stood for a smaller government, was a key part of the team that designed RomneyCare, and
Scott Brown joined the Democrats and passed legislation requiring Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in a cap-and-trade pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries.
“Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,” Brown said in a news release
Wow, he’s only far right in speeches, but otherwise, he and his fellow lawyer Barrack Obama seem to agree more than they disagree! If that is what passes for “far right” today, the United States is truly doomed. Let’s face facts, we are constantly given two bad choices by the media, which hypes up the minor differences between them, to make it look as if we are making some real choice, when the fact is that whichever one we vote for the end result is the same.
And this will only get worse. Recently the United States Supreme Court (e.g the visible puppet masters) said that corporations have even more rights again than humans and can now dump unlimited amounts of money into any election they want. In other words, the perfect marriage of corporations and government, at least if you own corporations and want serfs.

According to Boston.com, Brown beat Coakley in Massachusetts by 52 to 47 (or 1,161,586 votes to 1,055,409 votes). However don’t worry, because according to the Democrats, “Massachusetts doesn’t matter“. In other words, Obama is going to plow forward forcing an increasingly bad bill down peoples’ throats.
And why not, after all no one cares that Google massages search results to down play the climate fraud, and now we applaud censorship of people who aren’t happen about how indentured servants are brought back into America through the H1-B visa program.
So the sad truth is that Scott Brown’s election might change…..
nothing.
Oh, like most people I hope for change, but I have to admit that a certain degree of cynicism has crept into my once naive state, after my business was crushed after I decided that the government should have to follow the constitution.
I think that the Scott Brown was a VERY small step in the right direction, hopefully people will see this as as just a beginning of a long fight to restore the constitution. Scott Brown seems like a decent person, but I don’t think he is anywhere near Rand Paul for instance.

After reading a report by NPR, that’s what I came to believe. Since 2003 (!) Hasan had been considered a “substandard” soldier, and had been consuled for incidents such as telling patients that “Islam can save your soul”. But the higher ups cared not for these “anti-muslim” evaluations, instead promoting Hasan, and keeping him in the Army and increasing his Active Duty Commitment by sending him to more schools!
Contrast to the way the Navy discharged a CHAPLIN for praying “in Jesus’s name”. If you think that all religions are treated similarly by the military, you are wrong. Or how Lt Cmdr Sharpe was vilified for his own beliefs which were only linked to his professional career by reporters, and there were no indications that it affected his performance as an officer.
The message has long been clear to the people in the military, if you have christian beliefs, keep them to yourself, and as Lt. Cmdr Sharpe’s case shows, don’t ever make public your beliefs, even if you are doing so with no explicit connection to your position in the military. Apparently there is a different standard for Islam.

Patrick Buchanan has a great article about the problems with Dual Loyalty people claiming to be loyal to one government. Of course he doesn’t address the dual citizenship people, but rather in the context of how we have become:
a nation that has declared religious, racial and ethnic diversity to be not only a national good but a national goal.
I recommend the article as a much better statement of the situation than I had written. But then again you might just be biased against the idea that dual loyalties can cause conflicts, after all diversity is strengh, freedom is slavery, and war is peace.

It used be to Global Warming (before that it was the coming Ice Age the was the worry of the current Obama Science Czar), now that the BBC grudingly admits that the warmest year in the last decade was 1998, or that the drums for global warming were beating as far back as 1938, (and the Artic had a warming period in the 1920s) but then it got cold, and then warm again, it’s almost as if the planet has a natural cycle of warming and cooling!
But that isn’t what prompted me to write this article, rather it’s the not surprising news that Al Gore doesn’t want a solution to global warming that DOESN’T include a taxation scheme. At least that’s how InfoWars.com, read a Newsweek article that was falling all over itself trying to make Gore into a sort of demi god.
The sad fact is that there are those people who want nothing more than to CONTROL other people, and fear of the inability of man to control the elements has long been a tool to control people, throughout time the reason that earthquakes and floods have happened has been blamed on the sins of the people, now it’s just wrapped in a thin veneer of shaky science.

With the new national emergency declared about the H1N1 virus, expect more people to be striken ill from the adverse effects of a vaccine that is forced on them, much as Nikiyah Torres has been. Of course normally people allegedly “volunteer” for the vaccination, as has been the reason why the VA has not given some soldier full benefits when they had adverse reactions to vaccinations.
Back in July 2008, The Daily Paul reported that Congress had a closed door meeting in March 2008 that discussed:
- The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008
- The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid 2009
- The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse
- The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government
- The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses
- The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest
I find it interesting that the same things that would have had the media going wild under Bush are hailed as some great steps to save us when done by Obama. Of course, that is why Obama was selected, because the masses are all to willing to look at the surface, and ignore the actions that are going on.

According to the Telegraph, the Whitehouse has said that news organizations that are critical of Barrack Obama are subject a new policy, with Anita Dunn stating
we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organisations behave
Apparently while it was real news to point out flaws in Bush, pointing out flaws in Obama is something that the White House considers to be bordering on hate speech, with Obama pushing the new hate speech law through congress while people are watching the health care issue.
Now I agree with the White House that Fox is not a real news organisation, but I think that way about all the “mainstream media”. I saw a news report about how 50 people gathered the other day for “immigration reform” in Chicago, and wonder why they don’t report other events. Actually I don’t wonder, I know it’s because they select the news to fit the agenda that they want, just as I (and any other writer/reporter) do.
The problem isn’t that the “mainstream media” tells us what to think, the problem is that people keep treating the mainstream media as if they are the final say in what is or isn’t true. As a people we all want to believe that we are not easily fooled, and we definitely don’t want to admit that we’ve been tricked for years, but the sad fact is that while the news might be true, relaying truth is not the purpose of the “news”. What their agenda is, I don’t claim to know, but it does seem to be resulting in the destruction of what people have thought to be American values.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I don’t even claim to be infallible, but I think it will be a sad day in America when Obama gets his way and signs the Hate Bill into law that will make thought crimes an offical crime in America. Unfortunately no one will be able to report about it.

Everyone wants to get whatever they want, when they want it, and when people are in pain, they want to seek relief. So what is my problem with government run health care? And am I a hypocrite because I go to the Veteran’s Hospital for my healthcare?
I’ll answer the second question first, I go to the Veteran’s Hospital for a complex reason, but basically I would rather have the choice to go elsewhere, unfortunately since some government agencies don’t want me to make other choices (or at least actively imped those choices) I have to make do with the Veteran’s Hospital. That said, I know that with the VA medical care (supposedly the “example” of the care Americans should get) it’s a maze of paperwork to figure out things.
I’d rather just be able to see a chiropractor, or buy vitamins, but for reasons beyond the scope of this, those are precluded, instead of being able to take vitamins, I can get prescription drugs that mask the symptoms, and have doctors push statins at me.
That out of the way, I think the best place to start with a discussion about the healthcare debate is with a person who actually still supports Obama, who says:
Obama’s aggressive endorsement of a healthcare plan that does not even exist yet, except in five competing, fluctuating drafts, makes Washington seem like Cloud Cuckoo Land. The president is promoting the most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation since the Bush administration snookered the country into invading Iraq with apocalyptic visions of mushroom clouds over American cities
Wow, that person must be a right wing radical, not an Obama supporter!! (She must be lying when she claims to continue to believe in Obama).
Next there is this interesting video that compares different healthcare systems from ABC news:
Then there is this “Canadian Healthcare Horror Story” where a woman tells how she was berated by the doctor for taking her son to the emergency room when he had a burst appendix, even though the surgeon who operated said that if he had been a few minutes later the boy would have died.
Here’s the real thing, say what you want, but in America you can still sue the doctors and hospitals and they will do what they can to avoid not being diligent enough, that same mentality is NOT found in other countries.
Much as I don’t like lawsuits, I think that having a private healthcare system is something that most people in America won’t really appreciate until it is gone.
