Global Electronic Concentration Camp

Crisis as a Means to Building a Global Totalitarian State
On March 19, Henry Kissinger came to Moscow as a member of The Wise Men (James Baker, George Schultz, and others), who had meetings with the Russian leaders before the G20 summit. Dmitry Trenin, director of the Moscow Carnegie Center and participant in the latest US meeting of the Bilderbergers, called that meeting a ‘positive signal’. On March 25, Moskovsky Komsomolets published an article ‘The Crisis and the World Problems’, by Gavriil Popov (currently President of the International Union of Economists) that openly voiced what was normally discussed behind closed doors.

The article mentioned World Parliament, World Government, World Armed Forces, World Police Force, World Bank, the necessity of placing under international control the nuclear weapons, nuclear power generating capacities, the entire amount of space rocket technology, and the planet’s minerals, the imposition of birth-rate limits, the cleansing of humanity’s gene pool, the fostering of people intolerant to cultural and religious incompatibility, and the like.

The "countries that will not accept the global prospects," says Popov, "must be expelled from the world community."

We are witnessing the creation of the global electronic concentration camp, and crisis, conflicts and wars are used to justify it. As Douglas Reed wrote "people tend to tremble in the face of an imaginary danger and are too lazy to see the real one." Read detailed article | More...

White House spokesman David Axelrod said Sunday that the numerous Tea Party protests held last week on April 15 are "unhealthy," especially in light of President Obama's commitment to cut taxes for most Americans.

"I think anytime you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy," Axelrod told CBS' "Face the Nation."

He backtracked somewhat when pressed about his comments.

"Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, [uh-huh, so far] and so far these are expressions," he said. SOURCE...

America's New World Constitution

Walk softly, hug, kiss and bow down.

Inform all foreign nations of America's willingness to appease and submit to their demands and dictates so that we may be accepted into the "New World Order" as "Citizens of the World," and "liked" by all those who do not "like" us, and want to destroy and or kill us.

Be it resolved, that the wealth, labor, freedoms and liberties of the peoples of the United States will be leveled and controlled to a degree that they will comply with the standards of living and wages as determined mandatory for all citizens of the world.

We hereby pledge the International and Globalist Congress, thru legislature and laws of a revised Constitution, a tangled tax system mystery, the World Wealth Distribution Center, and in harmony with the United Nations, to achieve this end.

Any American not agreeing with these policies will be labeled as "extremists, racists and bigots" and all resources of the Party in power will be brought to bear on them for compliance.

Agreed upon by:
- We, the People with the Power of the Press and the Mind Control of You and Your Children - Your Elected Representatives and OBAMA in pursuit of life, liberty and happiness as our people thinks it should be. We won, you lost.

He intended to also give away copies of his film but was literally prevented from doing so. He did not go there hoping for or expecting any sort of confrontation, especially with law enforcement. He was simply shocked and horrified by what happened there, as should every freedom loving American. He did absolutely nothing wrong and was handcuffed, detained and literally abused by law enforcement at the event.

DEATH BLOW TO DEMOCRACY

They have swept away the liberty of the press, and they come down with a heavy hand upon any editor who dares criticise the leader or his policy.

The Brown Shirts in three months have been able to gain power and dig themselves well in without the ravages of a civil war and without the delay of several years

They have put one party, and one party only, into control--into the position of leaders in the universities, in all committees, in factories, on boards of directors, in schools, in public offices. Most positions of trust are now held by members of the party.

They have imprisoned many tens of thousands of men and women for their political views, and hold them now captive in prisons and concentration camps.

They have created a secret police, which will make still more nebulous any freedom of expression which may remain.

They have attempted a moral cleansing of life in the big towns and have courageously attacked social evils.

They have revealed and condemned much corruption in public life and have placed before public servants a high ideal of service for the nation’s sake and not for private gain.

They have re-organised education ... SOURCE...

Texas Seceding From Union?

Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall -- one of three tea parties he was attending across the state -- that officials in Washington have abandoned the country's founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt. READ ALL...

"I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union. I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state." - Texas Governor Rick Perry

The Texas Nationalist Movement exists to secure and protect the political, cultural and economic independence of the nation of Texas and to restore and protect a constitutional Republic and the inherent rights of the people of Texas.

FAQ - Texas Secede
"All political power is inherent in the people ... they have at all times the inalienable right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper."

Likewise, each of the united States is "united" with the others explicitly on the principle that "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" and "whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends [i.e., protecting life, liberty, and property], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government" and "when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Ignoring the Constitution

The current emergency power supplied to the President and the Secretary of the Treasury by section 95(a) authorizes them to regulate America's banking system, even to order the closing of banks. But such powers are clearly unconstitutional on two counts: The Constitution contains no authorization for any federal authority to declare a national emergency, and it likewise contains no authorization for regulating or closing banks. The absence of such grants of power in the body of the Constitution are, of course, reinforced by the Tenth Amendment. Therefore, the Constitution cannot be suspended... Instead, its fundamental limitations are being ignored and the power of the executive branch of government is being permitted to grow to ominous proportions. - Title 12, Section 95(b) of the United States Code

Fortunately, as long as the Constitution still stands, any government action that is based on extra-constitutional powers is ipso facto unconstitutional. What America needs are congressional declarations that expose as nullities all illegally usurped powers. In addition, the people must learn to resist the distractions of the rumor mill and, instead, generate constant and informed vigilance lest their freedoms disappear at the hands of those who always claim that they mean to rule well, but who most of all mean always to rule.

Tea Party II Revolution!

Thousands of Anti-Tax 'Tea Party' Protesters Turn Out in U.S. Cities
Hundreds of anti-tax rallies kicked off Wednesday in several U.S. cities as demonstrators protested high taxes and massive government spending.

Chants like "Give me liberty, not debt" and "Our kids can't afford you" were heard across several U.S. cities Wednesday as anti-tax "tea party" protesters took to the streets to voice their opposition to big government spending.

The demonstrations are part of a larger grassroots movement against government spending called Taxed Enough Already, or TEA -- giving name to the Tax Day Tea Parties -- and come more than 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party revolt against taxes. READ ALL...

Obama vs. United States

The Elephant in the Room: Obama vs. United States
The president is contemptuous of American values. And one key nominee prefers the judgment of other countries and global elites. By Rick Santorum

Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions. His nomination of former Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh to be the State Department's top lawyer constitutes further evidence of his disdain for American values.

This seemingly obscure position in Foggy Bottom's bureaucratic maze is one of the most important in any administration, shaping foreign policy in the courts and playing a critical role in international negotiations and treaties.

This seemingly obscure position in Foggy Bottom's bureaucratic maze is one of the most important in any administration, shaping foreign policy in the courts and playing a critical role in international negotiations and treaties.

Let's set aside Koh's disputed comments about the possible application of Sharia law in American jurisprudence. The pick is alarming for more fundamental reasons having to do with national sovereignty and constitutional self-governance.

What is indisputable is that Koh calls himself a "transnationalist." He believes U.S. courts "must look beyond national interest to the mutual interests of all nations in a smoothly functioning international legal regime. ..." He thinks the courts have "a central role to play in domesticating international law into U.S. law" and should "use their interpretive powers to promote the development of a global legal system."

Koh's "transnationalism" stands in contrast to good, old-fashioned notions of national sovereignty, in which our Constitution is the highest law of the land. In the traditional view, controversial matters, whatever they may be, are subject to democratic debate here. They should be resolved by the American people and their representatives, not "internationalized." What Holland or Belgium or Kenya or any other nation or coalition of nations thinks has no bearing on our exercise of executive, legislative, or judicial power. READ ALL...

World Ahead: What Will It Be Like?

The World Ahead: What Will It Be Like?

Many eminent politicians and leaders have long realized that the only genuine solution to our massive human problems is a world government. Only this kind of government can bring real peace and stability! But mankind’s human efforts in bringing about such government have always failed miserably. The heralded League of Nations founded after World War I did not stop World War II - the most horrifying war in human history -from exterminating about 50 million human beings! The United Nations, founded after World War II, has also failed utterly to bring peace. Literally scores of wars have been raging all over this world in the last few decades, seemingly unaffected - one way or the other - by the so-called "United" Nations! And mankind’s puny efforts will continue to fail. For humanity does not know the "way" to peace. To any thinking human being, this should become increasingly evident.

Resurgent Germany: A Fourth Reich?

Germany has made astounding strides since the end of World War II. In 1945, the entire nation - broken into East and West - lay prostrate in defeat, its dreams of world conquest foiled, its economy ravaged and its cities reduced to rubble.

Six decades later, the German economy has rebounded. Again joined into one powerful nation, it is among the world’s largest and strongest. Its wages and standard of living are among the world’s highest. Its former militarism appears to have been replaced by peaceful democracy - which 60 years ago would have been unthinkable.

The German Nightmare Has Returned!

While the Obama administration is distracted by the overwhelming economic crisis that deepens day by day, Germany is taking charge in the global foreign-policy arena.

Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Armstrong predicted that America and the world would have a massive banking crisis. But the second part of that prediction was even more stunning. He believed the banking crisis would cause 10 kings to unite into superpower status and fulfill a major end-time Bible prophecy. And it is all being fulfilled before our eyes today.

Here is what Mr. Armstrong said July 7, 1984, in a message to his church: "[I]n London, the economic conference was on while we were there. That is the summit conference of the major powers. And I can tell you now that I learned things while in London that have alarmed me very greatly. And I can see now the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe ...

Something is causing it to lag and to hold it up. I said to him, ‘I’ve been wondering about the same thing.’ But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly, just like out of a blue sky, that is going to shock the whole world, and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite! [They have deep divisions in the union today that are beginning to be removed.]

"Well, he said that he believes that will have to happen too. Well, now I think I can see what may be the very event that is going to trigger it, and that is the economic situation in the world." READ ALL...

The Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization

"WHERE HAVE ALL THE GROWN-UPS GONE?" That is the provocative question Washington Times syndicated columnist Diana West asks as she looks at America today. Sadly, here’s what she finds: It’s difficult to tell the grown-ups from the children in a landscape littered with Baby Britneys, Moms Who Mosh, and Dads too "young" to call themselves "mister." Surveying this sorry scene, West makes a much larger statement about our place in the world: "No wonder we can’t stop Islamic terrorism. We haven’t put away our toys!" As far as West is concerned, grown-ups are extinct. The disease that killed them emerged in the fifties, was incubated in the sixties, and became an epidemic in the seventies, leaving behind a nation of eternal adolescents who can’t say "no," a politically correct population that doesn’t know right from wrong. The result of such indecisiveness is, ultimately, the end of Western civilization as we know it.

The Conspiracy of Ignorance: The Failure of American Public Schools

In a shocking expose of the Educational Establishment, Martin L. Gross describes how the typical teacher is academically inferior and trained in dubious "educational psychology" and faddish "whole language" methods. Indeed, most teachers and administrators come from the bottom third of their class and are outscored on the SAT tests by their own college-bound students. The curriculum is so weak that only one in five students ever take trigonometry, physics, or geography in high school. The usual remedies-from smaller class sizes to federal aid-fail because the Etablishment is intent on maintaining both control and lower academic standards. Lucid, persuasive, and meticulously researched, The Conspiracy of Ignorance asks- and answers--the questions educators are afraid to ask. This book is desperately needed if American schoolchildren are to prosper in today's competitive world.

The frequent U.S. critic told reporters that power in the world is shifting from America to countries such as Iran, Japan and China.

"We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world," Mr. Chavez said on arriving in China the evening before a scheduled Wednesday meeting with China's president and Communist Party leader Hu Jintao.

"The unipolar world has collapsed. The power of the U.S. empire has collapsed," he said. "Everyday, the new poles of world power are becoming stronger. Beijing, Tokyo, Tehran .. It's moving toward the East and toward the South." SOURCE...

Black Caucus Charmed by Dictators

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus returned from a trip to Cuba

``We just decided the time was now,’’ said Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a Democrat from California. ``And we decided to put together this visit, to do this immediately because we think that we have this window of opportunity now with a president (Barack Obama) who is seeking a new way in the world, a new direction.

[Strike quickly, hit the freedom loving Americans before they can unify and mount any major opposition.]

``And we are in the process of reshaping our image and our role in the world. And where better to do that than 90 miles off the shores of America.’’

[How about in the United States with the citizen peoples of America?]

The members met with Fidel and Raul Castro and were clearly charmed.

[The fox's cleverest hunting technique is "charming." Of course, the prey could also be delusional and/or suicidal.]

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri said U.S. officials ``have deluded ourselves into believing that if we isolated Cuba, the government of Fidel Castro would collapse. Fifty years since we made that declaration, we are the only nation that is isolated.’’

[America is (currently) a nation of "Constitutionally protected" peoples (from the rest of the world) and part of a large continent of free peoples. Hardly isolated.]

The members said they were not trying to negotiate with Cuban officials but would work to shape U.S. policy to bring Americans closer to the Cuban people.

[So they collapse our nation by ignoring the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and align and reshape American policies to adapt to Communist Socialist Totalitarianism Dictator societies and policies - and their "Share the Wealth" programs.]

Silencing the Voice of Opposition

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
-- Harry S. Truman, message to Congress, August 8, 1950


Barney Frank twisted the student's question into an accusation and an attack so as to demonize the student and to avoid the question. Many in the audience supported and applauded Mr. Frank's clever manipulation of the situation. An excellent example of how to avoid accountability and responsibility.

"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage." - Winston Churchill

It's a good thing that we (currently) have a Constitution protecting free speech - as Barney Frank had to quickly and verbally remind himself - otherwise he would have that Harvard student tossed out - possibly arrested and expelled.

Al Qaeda Claims Responsibility For Power Blackout In U.S.!
A communiqué attributed to Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the power blackout that happened in the U.S. last Thursday, saying that the brigades of Abu Fahes Al Masri had hit two main power plants supplying the East of the U.S., as well as major industrial cities in the U.S. and Canada, "its ally in the war against Islam (New York and Toronto) and their neighbors."

The communiqué assured that the operation "was carried out on the orders of Osama bin Laden to hit the pillars of the U.S. economy," as "a realization of bin Laden's promise to offer the Iraqi people a present."

The communiqué ended with: "we tell the Muslims that this is not the awaited strike, but it is called the war of skirmishes (to drain the enemy), and that the American snakes are enormous and need to be consumed and weakened to be destroyed. We tell the people of Afghanistan and Kashmir that the gift of Sheikh Osama bin Laden is on its way to the White House; then the gift of Al Aqsa, and do we know what is the giftof Al Aqsa, where and when?

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters the power grid is vulnerable to potentially disabling computer attacks, while declining to comment on reports that an intrusion had taken place.

"The vulnerability is something that the Department of Homeland Security and the energy sector have known about for years," she said. "We acknowledge that ... in this world, in an increasingly cyber [and hostile] world, these are increasing risks." READ ALL...

Blackouts cause N America chaos

Traffic lights failed, underground railways were evacuated and people were trapped in lifts in offices and apartments.

... the city is waking up to an unusual sight - thousands of people lying on the sidewalks, propped up against shop fronts, lounging on the edge of fountains, huddled round small clusters of night lights chatting.

Many workers left their offices early, walking across bridges out of Manhattan, choking pavements and roads.

Civilians manned intersections directing gridlocked traffic after traffic signals failed, while on the pavements dozens of people queued up to use payphones after mobile phone networks broke down.

Power to many hospitals and prisons was also reported to have failed but key institutions were working on back-up generators.

Trams and underground trains in the city came to an abrupt halt.

"It was so dark, and everything was off, and I was scared. No air conditioner, the phones - they need electricity. And it's so, so hot." READ ALL...

Legalized Rape!

Afghan Law That Legalizes Rape Poses Problem for Obama and Clinton
Obama administration officials are struggling to respond to the recent signing of a law in Afghanistan that critics say gives Shiite men the legal right to rape their wives.


The fact that a "Right to Rape" law is even considered by Muslim legislators should cause every freedom loving American female "pause to think." Your "rights to choose" anything are in jeopardy. Islam and Sharia Law is coming to America.

Karzai bows to international calls to scrap Afghan 'rape' law
Afghanistan is to review legislation which the UN says would legalise rape within marriage after a dramatic reversal from the president, Hamid Karzai, who signed the rules into law last month.

Karzai has bowed to intense international pressure to scrap the law, described by the UN human rights chief in Afghanistan as "reminiscent of the decrees made by the Taliban regime".

It is said to forbid women to refuse to have sex with their husbands and force them to get their spouses' permission before leaving the house, looking for a job, going to the doctor or receiving education.

Treason From Within ...

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
- Marcus Tullius Cicero [ancient Roman scholar, lawyer, statesman and orator 106BC - 43BC]

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

What You Can Do
Broaden your news sources, as the mainstream media is controlled by the Left and they only broadcast, or print, what they want you to hear or read. The mainstream media news coverage is agenda driven and they operate under the caveat "repeat a lie long enough and they will begin to believe it." You may want to start by checking out some of the links provided under "Links," and/or reading many of the articles from alternative news source provided links to in the "Headlines" section at Apathetic USA.

What, Me Brainwashed?

Media Mind Control
"What, me brainwashed? Not on your life! I'm a free person and I make up my own mind!" Really? Wanna bet? You are cleverly manipulated in hundreds of such subtle ways by the Controlled Media that you don't even realize it. First, you must understand that American news media is simply the mouthpiece for Big Government and Special Interest. If you are to control a people you must keep them unaware of their right to redress their grievances to a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

There are many options in controlling people. The most peaceful (although subversive) and long-lasting method is to carefully teach these people, from cradle to grave, that they only need to turn to Uncle "Sugar-Daddy" (big government) for all their needs. Part of the process must hide the truth from them - the truth that free people have a natural right to replace an oppressive, tyrannical government bent on the financial rape of its people thereby selling them out to a New World Order in which all the slaves are equal. They have no land, no money, no freedom, no free enterprise, no free energy, no access to natural or alternative health. Everyone is equally impoverished. It appears there is scheme to keep the masses ignorant and in poverty. We all know that uneducated masses are easier to control.

Now, if you get someone who sees through all the disinformation, then you must destroy that person's credibility so that no one will listen to the "mad ravings of a paranoid lunatic". This is the job of the establishment media.

With precious few exceptions the national media in the U.S., far from being the guard dogs of liberty, seem to have become the lapdogs of tyrants. Programming seems to be scrupulously cleansed of any real news content, and even worse it indulges in subtle indoctrination and open "politically correct" propaganda.

If you are getting your "news" from the Controlled Media you are being insulted through omission, misinformation and disinformation.

There are non-controlled and independent newspapers, magazines, and web sites that give you the REAL news on what's happening and why. Add a Link. This is a wake-up call for all who can still think?

Obama's American Turkeys

Obama to Muslims in European tour and International Address from ANKARA, Turkey

Obama said "one of the great strengths of the United States" is that it does not consider itself "a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." He continued, "... that we can create a modern international community ..." SOURCE ...

... as framed by the Constitution of the United States of America!

Out: Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers for the American nation.

In: A revised or ignored U.S. Constitution in favor of United Nations Treaties and Laws for the Citizens of the World.

The Takeover of America - R.I.P.

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture."

Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Democrats Platform | Agenda with reference to Cesar Chavez Civil Rights Activist and Union Organizer

THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control - a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society... where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; where full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work; where workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. We believe socialism and democracy are one and indivisible.

Wanted: Real Men

There is no question that the last few generations have done much to tear down conventional concepts of masculinity and femininity. The drive for equality, for a blurring of distinctions between men and women, has been fierce, and largely successful.

An August 10 (2003) Baltimore Sun article detailed the transformation of the typical television male from the authoritative, hard-working father figure of 50 years ago. "Now prime-time males face an especially acute identity crisis: In comedies and sitcoms, dramas and reality shows, they’re seeking counseling, getting in touch with their feelings, popping Prozac and hot-waxing their backs."

This "more traditional" man is hardly a model of masculinity: He is the subject of scorn by a bossy wife, and his most outstanding features are his boyish bad judgment and weak character. He is only "more traditional" because he has increasingly been the standard portrayal of men since Dagwood stumbled into the comics page in 1930.

In Defense of Women - H. L. Mencken

"Nothing could be plainer than the effect that the increasing economic security of women is having upon their whole havit of life ... The diminishing marriage rate and the even more rapidly diminishing birth rate show which way the wind is blowing . . . large numbers of them [women] now approach the business [of marriage] with far greater fastidiousness than their grandmothers."

Mencken also predicts loosened sexual mores: "With the decay of the ancient concept of women as property there must come inevitability a reconsideration of the whole sex question."

And of course all these things have come to pass, both in America and in Europe: well-employed women marry later or not at all and get divorced more quickly, and low-income women have virtually abandoned marriage altogether.

Patriotic Bad American

I'm a "Bad American" -- this pretty much sums it up for me.

I like big trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family; not some mid-level, government flunky with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate. I don't think playing with toy guns makes you a killer. I believe ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might. I think I'm doing better than the homeless, I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or make me mad. SOURCE - MORE CONTINUED - READ ALL

What is a Hero?

American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam

What is a hero? Oliver North says, "Real heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm’s way in the war against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or coverage they deserve . . . I never cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of enemy engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation -- ours included -- has ever had a military force better than the one we have today."

American Soldiers: Ground Combat in the World Wars, Korea, And Vietnam
(Modern War Studies)
Some warriors are drawn to the thrill of combat and find it the defining moment of their lives. Others fall victim to fear, exhaustion, impaired reasoning, and despair. This was certainly true for twentieth-century American ground troops. Whether embracing or being demoralized by war, these men risked their lives for causes larger than themselves with no promise of safe return.

The "Boot Strap" Method

Unfortunately, The United States is allowing itself to slip from the Superpower that it is into being a country dependent on others to maintain its own infrastructure.

As a military and manufacturing base, we as a country must come together as one nation. We are looking for the other person to save us when we should truly be looking in the mirror to pull ourselves up by our own boot straps. Our country has always in times of need come together as a we under one god and one nation.

Has the "ME GENERATION" truly destroyed such core values that our own salvation is such a far cry that we cannot learn from history to become such a force that no one man nor country can bring us down. If so, we can only blame ourselves for under funding the one thing that is as important as our military which is our educational system. For our people have not been taught enough of our history to remember the core values that have saved this country time and time again. - Maverickpc - Blogger Comment

America Bows Down to Saudi King

Breach of protocol. "Americans do not bow to foreign monarchs because that act signified the monarch’s power over his subjects." SOURCE...

Photo and Video: Obama bows down to Saudi King (updated)

Is Obama bowing ... kissing or looking at the king's ring ... or stooping down to pick up a gold coin that the king or his aide cleverly dropped? The Video indicates he is bowing. What do you think?

Have WE forgotten? We, the people, fought a revolutionary war to separate ourselves from bowing down to monarchs and nobility and their dictates. The President, nor any citizen of the United States of America, should have to bow to anyone. Civil greeting and acknowledgment: Yes. Bowing: NO! Are we retrogressing? Do we want our heads cut off.

Bowing originated as a gesture of subordination, as lowering the head leaves the bower vulnerable. This was particularly the case in Asian cultures such as that of samurai Japan. [it presented the nobility opportunity to sever the head of the humbled submissive.]

Bowing to other human beings is frowned upon in Muslim cultures as all human beings are considered equal and bowing is only supposed to be done to God in Islam. Similarly, in Judaism the second of the Ten Commandments is generally interpreted to forbid bowing before anyone but God. SOURCE...

It's the MONEY, Stupid!

Too many people sticking their noses in other peoples personal lives, and sticking their hands into other peoples business and their pockets.

Once upon a time, there were simpler rules, practices, principles and laws to govern a nation of peoples with a common goal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". You would elect local folks from your communities to represent the interests of your area with relation to the "general welfare" of the nation, and it's relationship with other nations.

Now, it's no longer providing for your family, your neighborhood, your community, your state, your nation. It is to maintain the upgraded "kings and queens" status and perks of wayward representatives into the club of "wealthy elites" wanting to govern the world, and to follow the dictates of the "financial high elites" from around the world.

They ALL want and take more money from your labor and the market - through taxes, fraud, theft or other. To increase, consolidate, wash, hide and distribute the money is most advantageous if it employs a contorted and mangled system of tax laws and programs that includes as many people of the world as possible.

In the process of trying to include the whole world's peoples, you are told how to worship - or not, what to do in the bedroom, how to raise your children, how not to express yourself, how to live your lives and share your money. In other words, how to be a good sensitive global citizen . You are CONTROLLED! The Constitution is ignored, and the borders are open.

It is no longer a sovereign country of liberities and freedoms as set-up by the Constitution of the United States of America.

ALL nations and peoples are not going to (and don't) agree with this attempt of a new world order of consolidation and distribution of wealth and power. Only a voluntary few. Then ... War and Terror and More Wars
