Listen closely to one of my favorite Metaphors:
What’s the difference between the power of our Creator and anything else – Particularly Evil?
In a pitch black room full of evil & nothing but darkness – When you light a candle instantly the darkness flees. You can’t do the opposite. It is impossible for a well lit room full of Truth, Wisdom, Righteousness, Joy, Health & Harmony with the universal power of our creator to have darkness enter the same room and dim “the light” with “darkness”. It’s flatly impossible.
This is “THE METAPHOR” I think of when I feel unempowered.
This great example is strong reason for all of us to know we are on the winning side.
“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” Benjamin Draeli – First British Prime Minister 1844

There are illegal alien (Mexican nationals) now in USMC which (to my understanding) is in violation of our Selective Service law which requires an inductee to be a LEGAL immigrant! Has our Commander In Chief, Pres. George W. Bush succeeded in corrupting USMC, whom most Americans have consistently trusted to protect us from foreign invaders?

Editorial from the London Daily Mail (a UK National Paper) about Obama, 1/6/2009
A British view
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality. A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion. Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition. A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers’ unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity. A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
Congratulations America!

I was homeschooled my whole life. At age 15, the government came to my home and told my parents they would go to jail if they didn’t place me in the local high school. It was the extreme of government bullying. After completing the necessary forms, the principal’s assistant ushered me to Biology. Class had already begun and was in a bitter debate over how many teeth a horse had. My face said it all, but still my uncompromising compassion towards human dignity everywhere compelled me to disapprovingly interrupt, “Why don’t you worthless fucking blisstards just go outside, find a horse and count the teeth yourselves and then begin debating real, unresolved issues – like why the hell our psychotic government is chemtrailing us?”
My lack of conformity earned me my second visit to the Principal’s office. Who knew I’d being renewing Sir Francis Bacon’s educational revolution on my first day in ‘Zombie Boot Camp‘ – yeah, you’re right, my parents did. Government schools are deathly afraid of thinkers!

A valuable Lesson to end the myth of Socialism:
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

IF “we are running our country off a cliff” – It’s a matter of survival TO REDUCE THE DEBT.
Since illegal immigrants are costing 100’s of Billions per year and TRILLIONS every couple of years why continue to let this problem continue?
This course we’re on? “Not resolving the illegal immigration crisis”. It has huge repercussions.

Observation:
After spending many hours looking for the truth I ended up with this analogy: If “TRUTH” were concealed as a slightly beige feather on a white turkey? Imagine trying to find that truth in a field with 1,000,000 other white turkeys trying to direct you to the truth - Gobble, GoBBle, goBBLE, GoBBlE, GoBble, gObBLe! This is what it’s like for people to understand the truth in our age of technology. And I fear most of us would not know how to stop a crisis unless they understand what this crisis is & what caused it. You might say “I personally inspected each turkey I could found”. I ask you to please follow this path directly to the slightly beige feather of truth.
When it comes to The Illegal Immigration Crisis I’ve noticed the truth is out there. But, it is scattered amongst many patriotic websites & a select few responsible news reporters. It would take the average person over 1,000 hours to find & understand the info in these videos I have listed below. Now it only takes 2 hours. www.IllegalImmigrationCrisis.com
~ CAJeffO
P.S. The bottomline is: Find out whom allows The Illegal Immigration Crisis to happen & continue.

TODAY: Governor Jessi Ventura (also a “Green Beret”) couldn’t duplicate the shots Harry Oswald supposedly made. YESTERDAY: The bell rang 30 years when Kennedy was assonated.
Governor Jessi Ventura says “He was demolition expert for the Green Beret”. Building #7 was a demolition and he views Towers #1 & #2 as a copy of what happened to Tower #7. And he is certain the 911 attacks & the failure to investigate the scene as a mass murder is a conspiracy against the American people.
~ Governor Jessi Ventura now lives in a country club in Mexico.

America is fast becoming a nation of sheeple.
I often ask the question: “At what point would you set put to kill an officer of the law or a government soldier?” 99% of people I’ve posed the question to, on first blush, answer ‘Never’.
Then I drill down to the heart of the matter… What if the police are at your home to arrest your daughter for speaking out against a politician and now they’ll take her to a prison where she will certainly be raped and murdered? What if the soldiers are rounding up certain of your neighbors to gas them? What would you do?
Obey the lawful orders and, hopefully, be left alone? Or fight no matter what the consequences to yourself?
Even with these considerations I hear meaningless blather like:
“I’d call the police!”
“It’d never happen!”
“Violence only causes more violence!”
And etc.
The ironic thing about this is that the fewer people we have who will not flinch about plugging a cop or a soldier who violates their rights the more likely it becomes that we will have cops and soldiers violate our rights!!
The People are responsible for being the Fourth ‘check and balance’ upon the power of government. If we fail to restrain our political leaders by threat of mortal accountability then we are assured of political leaders who will act with impunity against us.
It is the mere threat that maintains the balance that has stabilized our Republic since the civil war. Absent that threat there is no limit to what can be done “legally”.
The Holocaust was perfectly “legal.”

His comedian routine – “Education and the owners of America” – Wisely delivered by World Famous Comedian George Carlin. Was it a speech or was it a comic act?

New Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYIC0eZYEtI
Use the link above. I highly suggest you listen to his comic act. Takes only 3 minutes:
Please read as he moves give you his comic delivery. (I’ll bet you’re not laughing when it ends 3 minutes later.) The following Dialogue starts 01:30 into the video.
“Politicians traditionally hidden behind three things. The Flag, The Bible & Children.
No child left behind. Oh really well it wasn’t long ago you talked about giving me a head start.
Head Start? Left Behind? Some one’s loosing fucking ground.
But there’s a reason for this.
There’s a reason education sucks. And, there’s a reason it will never ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians they are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the impression you have freedom of choice. You don’t you have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They have long sense paid for the Senate, Congress, State houses, city halls, they have the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the important media companies so they can control all the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year Lobbying to get what they want. Well we know what they want they want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you want they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed well educated people capable of critical thinking. Their not interested in that. It doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right you know something? They don’t want people smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly their getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. People whom are smart enough to run the machines and paper work. And just dumb enough passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now their coming for your social security money. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on wall street. And you know something they’ll get it all from you sooner or later because they own this fucking place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club.
And by the way it’s the same club the beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you to believe. All day long beating you over the head with the media telling you what to believe, what to think & what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged. And, nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard working people continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big white, red and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of the country know the truth. It’s called the American dream. Cause you have to be asleep to believe it.“
George delivered this as a comic show. He wisely disguised this wisdom as comedy and delivers a sobering perspective.

BOTTOMLINE “REALITY”:
In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England’s Prime Minister Tony Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: “A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in. And how many want out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press.

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The United States Soldier.
3. The Canadian Soldier.
4. The British, and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.
“Awesome Senior Moment”
Here’s a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a D.C. airport:
“There were protesters on the platform handing out pamphlets, on the evils of America … I politely declined to take one.
The elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the old woman’s shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice the young lady said, “Lady, don’t you care about the children of Iraq ?”
The old woman looked up at her and said, “Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country. If you touch me again, I’ll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.”
I can’t verify if this is a joke or a true story. I googled the title and its posted in 100’s of places. It seems so real that I posted it in spite of the crude last line. Sorry if I offended any one. But, the reality this story paints is too important to not post. Forgive me just this once if you were offended.

I understand, what is unfolding on this Earth is indeed a monstrous conspiracy so great, so grave, so meticulously planned, and so near it’s completion ….and the vast majority of people are wholly ignorant of it … and on such weighty matters concerning the loss of liberty and freedom, of life and death, both physical and spiritual, ignorance is not bliss. ~ Ian Welsh

Before we pass a law:
I suggest we demand our Senators & Representatives read “Amendment 28”
“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”
Before we pass a law which:
- Puts American citizens into jail (or a big fine) for failing to buy health insurance.
- Prevents doctors from treating patients without government permission.
- Forces systematic & irreversible change to the world’s most successful medical system.
- Requires 2/3 vote to repeal such law.
- Forces upon taxpayers an excise tax on medical devices such as wheelchairs, breast pumps and syringes used by diabetics for insulin injections.
- Forces Tax Payers to pay for abortions when it’s unconstitutional.
- Forces Tax Payers to pay for medical insurance which encourages criminals entering our country.
It is time to demand the bills are not rushed through.
It is time to demand the Senators read the bills & understand them.
It is time to demand all laws and actions are “Constitutional”.
