To Alter or To Abolish…?

What is occurring in America’s governmental system today is not what the architects of the Declaration of Independence had in mind. After reading Chuck Norris’s column in World Net Daily, I must concur with the object and scope of his column. However, I would take his concept of “The Coming Revolution” one step farther. When we read what the framers of America had in mind based on previous experience with tyrannical governments, we can truly understand their concept of freedom; freedom that was given not by man, but endowed by the Creator on the entire human race. What these brave men and women fought for is now being discarded by egotistical government officials propelled by avarice and their desire for absolute power. Power that will perpetrate on the peoples severe bondage, physical and financial! These incalcitrant individuals reject the concepts delineated in the Declaration of Independence and subsequently, the Constitution! We need to read a section of the Declaration to comprehend fully their (the framers of these foundational documents) direction and reasons for inclusion.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object 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.” (Declaration of Independence)

When we analyze this paragraph in the light of today’s government misconduct, it becomes more apparent that change must come albeit revolution or abolishment, this current government must be changed. Some type of revolution must be seriously considered. The framers knew their lives were unvalued before entering the new colony. They knew the severe bondage that they suffered while living under the regime of ruthless despotic kings. And they knew the sorrow of religious oppression that accompanied them every day of their life prior to their exodus. They considered their former estate and determined not to allow this evil to come upon them in the new colony, their new free world. And, while it lasted, it was very good for the new colonists. Nevertheless, there arose a Pharaoh that knew not Joseph, casting aside religious values! America’s peoples are the descendants of Joseph; the Bible is our true textbook. The new colonists knew the Bible, and believed in it. The words of the Most High adorn many documents and speeches given by these brave people. They were willing to give everything, including their lives, in order to remain free from any form of tyrannical government.

Well! Have we come full circle? Has this current government forgotten the rights of the governed? Have we been forced to accept the leaders’ rulership as absolute and dictatorial in concept? When did we relinquish the rights of the “consent of the governed?” It is “We the People” that are supposedly consigned the rights to set these leaders’ into their positions of rulership, according to this document. When the governed are supplanted by the governing, and the people no longer have the powers inscribed in the founding documentation, we have been constrained to another dictatorship from which our ancestors fled. Do we need another King of England? Do we need another Stalin, Lenin, or Hitler? This is exactly what happens when the checks and balances are disturbed and disrupted by narcissistic representatives. When the foundational documentation remains inviolable, the nation under which it was written cannot be easily destroyed. However, when these documents along with the major source of reference, the Bible, are breached, destruction is at hand!

I cannot concur with Mr. Norris’s selections politically speaking of course. And this is my right to agree or disagree. Huckabee, Mr. Norris’ choice for presidential candidate in my opinion is inadequate. However, he is by far the better choice than McCain. Also, Romney supersedes McCain by a wide margin. Mr. Norris also considers Sarah Palin a “maverette” politically speaking. However, Mr. Norris needs to do his homework and take a closer look at this one. I have written about her fiscal irresponsibility previously. She just doesn’t pass muster! Her popularity among some is contingent on which head the males see her with! We can certainly do better than McCain and Palin as GOP candidates. And, this is one of the major reasons Americans needs to alter or completely abolish this current government. We are over 480 Billion dollars in budget deficit. We are closing in on 9.7 Trillion dollars as America’s National Debt. The fiscal irresponsibility of President Bush (2), Congress, Senate and the governors of America’s fifty states is beyond alarming. We are being destroyed by these leaders and what pray tell is being done, talk without action? This is where talk show hosts like Limbaugh are a joke! He touts the economy as being good while in TRUTH Limbaugh, it is crashing! Wake up and pull your head out of the sand! Maybe Chuck Norris can generate a head of steam and get something accomplished. Just view these politicians as opponents in a fight Mr. Norris, and take no prisoners. You cannot have respect of persons to accomplish what you are trying to do! We face two choices, either alter or abolish this current governmental system. I am for the latter!

Supercilious Sarah?

“Though Yahweh is high, yet He looks upon the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.” Psalm 138:6

The Palin-Gibson interview brought forth scripted responses generated and written by GOP wordsmiths. Are these answers the true thoughts of Sarah Palin, or are these canned responses? One of the problems that can be found in Palin’s answers is superciliousness. What does this mean? Simply put, she was haughty in her responses to Gibson’s questions. I did not watch her interview but read the Q&A on Powerlineblog Dot Com. The question and subsequent answer that troubled me was this:

“GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you. And it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say, I have the experience, and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?

PALIN: I do, Charlie, and on January 20th, when John McCain and I are sworn in, if we are so privileged to be elected to serve this country, we’ll be ready. I’m ready.”

Taking a quantum verbal leap from being ready to serve in a Vice-Presidential capacity to being ready to assume the office of the President is what is called superciliousness. Whatever makes her think that she is qualified for either position? It appears that preparations are being made by the GOP et al for the demise of John McCain given his age and possible health problems. And, the same can be said about their rivals. If by extension Joe Biden withdraws from the race and is replaced by Hillary Clinton, Obama must then wonder about his possible demise. Politics is a very dirty business; it’s all about power and achieving it no matter the cost. Back to Palin! One of the major problems that can be found in Palin being selected as McCain’s VP choice is her inexperience and fiscal ineptitude.

Palin was the Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and when she left that position she left Wasilla approximately $20 million of debt, and that is a lot of money for a city with about 6,300 inhabitants during her tenure as Mayor. Being one for the facts first and then the decision based on facts, one can hardly assume Palin is qualified based on her record as Mayor and then Governor of Alaska. What are the statistics where budget and debt are concerned? Now the question arises concerning believability, who will you believe Palin, or actual published reports? The troubling statistics reported by The Daily Kos are yet to be answered satisfactorily as the GOP and Palin continue their fiscal irresponsibility dance, and serve Kool-Aid to all that attend their ambiguous meetings. Palin should fit right in as the Republican Party are the most financially irresponsible party between the two. Bush 2 will leave us with a record budget deficit of over 480 Billion dollars. The public debt clock is at 9.6 Trillion dollars and counting. By the time Bush 2 leaves office it will certainly exceed 9.7 plus Trillion dollars. Palin is continuing the GOP fiscal irresponsibility policy. Anyway, the facts about Palin’s true fiscal responsibilities as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

“Debt Service Increased 69 Percent Under Palin. In fiscal 2003 — the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget — the total government debt service was $658,662. In fiscal 1996—the year before Palin took control of the budget — the debt service was $390,385. The increase was 69 percent. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, Table 1]

Palin Left Behind Almost $19 Million In Long-Term Debt, Compared to None Before She Was Mayor. In fiscal 2003 — the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget — the bonded long-term debt was $18,635,000. In fiscal 1996—the year before Palin took control of the budget—there was no general obligation debt. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, Table 10]

Long-Term Debt Was $3000 Per Capita When Palin Left, Compared to None Before She Was Mayor. In fiscal 2003 — the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the bonded long-term debt per capita was $2,938. In fiscal 1996 — the year before Palin took control of the budget—there was no general obligation debt. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, Table 10]

When Palin Left Office, 6.24% of Government Spending Was On Debt Service, Compared to None Before She Was Mayor. In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the ratio of debt service to general government expenditures was 6.24 percent. There was no long-term debt before she took office. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, Table 11]

Palin Signed Ordinance to Issue $15 Million in General Obligation Bonds and Increase the Sales Tax From 2 to 2.5 Percent. In 2001, Palin signed an ordinance authorizing the city to issue general obligation bonds in the principal amount of $14,700,000 to finance the acquisition and construction of park and recreation capital improvements. The ordinance also increased the sales tax from 2 to 2.5 percent and put the issue on the ballot. After it was adopted by voters, Palin signed an ordinance issuing the bonds. In 2002, Palin signed an ordinance putting the higher sales tax into effect. [Ordinance 01-55 (am), 12/10/2001; Ordinance 02-14 (sub), 4/8/2002; Ordinance 02-49, 8/12/2002]

Palin Was Accused By Stein of Overspending By Approving $5.5 Million Bond; She Replied that It Had Been Approved By Voters. “Now Stein is urging voters to turn the tables again. He’s accused Palin of overspending city money and has been particularly critical of a $ 5.5 million road and sewer bond passed last year by voters. He says the bond payments could make the city vulnerable should the economy turn down. Palin notes residents approved the bond, which she says was needed for critical road work.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 10/5/99]

Palin Said the Reason for the Increased Cost of Government Was Interest on Bonds. “‘‘Sarah rode in on a conservative horse, but the actual cost of government has gone up,’’ he said. But Palin says most of the increase is due to the $ 400,000 in interest owed on the road and sewer bonds, a measure she notes the voters approved. Much of the rest is due to some positions now included in her budget that weren’t when she first took over, she said. Stein also criticized the $ 5.5 million bond package, which he said will cost too much to pay off and could make the city vulnerable should the economy turn down.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 9/20/99]”

The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin’s legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla…

Lucy, you’ve got some splaning to do! Sarah skirts these deficit issues by blaming the voters. She says they approved these financial measures. Sarah! You ride a conservative horse and approve more debt? You can’t have it both ways Sarah! If you went by the facts on Palin’s fiscal capabilities, you must ascertain that Palin is inept in this department. But, on the other hand you could say that these published reports are nothing but lies and these facts are only generated to smear Sarah Palin! Keep drinking that Kool-Aid GOP supporter; one and all. If truth doesn’t fit the Palin profile, change it to make it fit your preconceived fallacious perception of Saint Sarah. On the one hand people (the GOP) are making the stigmatizing appellation that Obama is a “Messiah” type figure, while their view of Palin comparatively speaking is saintly, the Alaska Governor is a Saint sent to preserve the GOP and their expensive spendthrift ways. So, in summation:

• Palin is not a very humble person.
• Palin is fiscally irresponsible.
• Palin is not truthful.
• Palin like most politicians, practices deceit for her own grandiose plans.
• Palin is not qualified for the office of VP or (Heaven forbid) the office of President.

On the other hand, the Democrat Party will most likely raise taxes if elected. However, noticeably, the Democrats are actually more fiscally responsible than the Republicans! The statistics verify this truth. This year the best thing will probably be to follow Joseph Farah’s (World Net Daily) advise; “none of the above.”

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18

The United States of Propaganda!

On the seventh anniversary (if you want to call it that) of the 911 propaganda fiasco, how many Americans are still drinking the Bush-Cheney Kool-Aid? For those lives that were lost on that day, the stains of blood are on the hands of those who perpetrated this fallacious atrocity. When these pre-meditated murderers stand before the Judgment seat of Messiah, they will be consigned to the lake of fire for their evil conspiratorial deeds. I am not one to jump to conclusions on any first blush preview; my criminal investigative training forbids any conclusions until all of the evidence has been accumulated. When the evidence is in, theories can be posited as to what may or may not have happened. When the evidence presented is prima facie, there is only one conclusion you can arrive at, guilty! For instance, a prima facie case presented to a Grand Jury by the prosecution will result in an indictment. And so it is with the actual orchestrated chain of events approximately seven years ago!

The first appearance of the Twin Towers destruction reminded experienced demolitions experts of an implosion. The Twin Towers were demolished from within by trained demolitions experts. Statistics and facts do not support any burning inferno type destruction caused by the planes as the root cause of collapse. The fire was just not hot enough to melt the steel structure! Jet fuel generates a fire that burns at approximately 1700-1800 degrees° F. However, Thermite cutter charges create temperatures of over 4,500°F. If the burning jet fuel did in fact ignite the Thermite cutter charges strategically placed and a series of bomb like devices were sequentially exploded? Or, if these charges were set off by detonation devices, the chain of events becomes understandable. If Thermite cutter charges were indeed used to assist the implosion and bring down the Twin Towers, and then subsequently Building seven, shouldn’t there be evidence in existence? And, just what is Thermite, and why would something like this be used or even considered?

Thermite was patented in Germany by Hans Goldschmidt in the late 1800s. Extremely high temperatures are produced when the aluminum and iron oxide react. The reaction produces temperatures of more than 2,500 degrees Celsius (4,500 degrees Fahrenheit) as the ferric oxide is reduced to molten iron. Iron melts at 1,535 degrees Celsius. The reaction causes the oxygen from the ferric oxide to bond with the aluminum, producing aluminum oxide, molten iron, and approximately 750 kilocalories per gram of thermite.

The following is taken from the DOD found here: http://www.dodtechmatch.com/DOD/Patent/PatentDetail.aspx?type=description&id=6766744

GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST:

The invention described herein may be manufactured, used and licensed by or for the U.S. Government.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention relates generally to incendiary devices, and more particularly, to incendiary devices for producing controlled-diameter holes in metallic targets.

BACKGROUND:

In the disposal of unserviceable explosive ordnances, incendiary devices are often used to burn through the ordnance casing and to ignite or otherwise destroy the ordnance payload. Thermite devices are often used for this purpose. Thermite devices are also used for unconventional warfare activities. Examples include the destruction of machinery or metallic structures, or the destruction of biological agents or precursors.

Destruction of metallic targets can be accomplished by cutting a hole through the casing steel and fusing the gears, pistons, and shaft with a stream of molten iron at 4500.degree. F. It has unlimited uses for attacking and destroying transformers, generators, electric motors, engine blocks, gun barrels, breech blocks, and mines. Storage tanks or drums can be cut through, causing the contents to flow out. If the liquid is flammable a fire and deflagration will result.

Destruction of biological agent and/or its precursor can be accomplished with a minimum collateral release by melting through a steel target (such as fermentation equipment, production equipment, storage drum, or warhead) to render the target unusable to an enemy and destroying the fill material by heating and incendiary action.

Thermite, one of the most common pyrotechnic incendiary agents, is essentially a mixture of powdered ferric oxide and powdered or granular aluminum. When raised to its ignition temperature, an intense reaction occurs whereby the oxygen in the ferric oxide is transferred to the aluminum, producing molten iron, aluminum oxide, and releasing approximately 750 kilocalories per gram. The reaction proceeds as follows:

8Al+3Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4.fwdarw.4Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +9Fe

This exothermic reaction may produce a temperature of about 4500° degrees F. under favorable conditions. The white-hot molten iron and slag can itself prolong and extend the heating and incendiary action. “Used in railroad rail line fusing and ordinance destruction, Thermite was found in molten masses at the Twin Tower sites. There is no quantum leap between what Americans were told happened, and what really did! Evidence (blatantly ignored) points in the direction that these buildings were in fact demolished by implosions, or called in implosion terminology, “pulling” them as per Larry Silverstein’s comments on WTC Building 7. This creates a very sad deceptive scenario. The body count is over seven thousand including the soldiers that paid with their lives ex post facto 911. The evidence leads one to form a strong theory, that this was an inside job affected by exceptionally trained personnel. It would be good to see a fair and unbiased evaluation of the entire body of evidence. However, this is not likely to happen because, we have yet to have the truth on the JFK assassination, and that occurred in 1963!
Follow the evidence and you will see something other than what is being presented by this government!

Debt Burden from Republican Administrations!

Click on Picture to Enlarge!

When President Bush leaves office that is not the only thing he will leave. Bush will leave a budget deficit of over 490 billion dollars. This exorbitant amount is unprecedented in the history of the entire world. Perhaps you have heard the saying “do the math?” When you do the math, the statistics are staggering. The per-capita debt for every man, woman and child in America now stands at over $30,000! And this is based on 2007 stats. Another serious problem to consider during this presidential election year is; do we really want another Republican in office? Under Republican administrations the National Debt increased. During the last Republican controlled presidential administrations the increase is incomprehensible. Statistical figures tell a disconsolate story that can only portend doom for America financially. How can this astronomical debt ever be repaid? And do we really want more of the same from John McCain and the Republican Party? Hardly!

What have the Republicans’ brought to the table, exactly? Well, we have war! We have debt beyond belief! How many widows and orphans have the Republicans caused because of their wars? We have extortionate gas prices! Our jobs and resources are being outsourced to other countries to obtain a higher profit margin by GOP fueled Capitalism! Our privacy rights are now brought into question by the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 which includes warrantless wiretapping supposedly to protect us from foreign enemies! And, the Republicans have put us into severe bondage equated to the time of Moses and Egypt. The Republican Pharaohs have imposed upon us rigorous servitude as the nation is being offered for less than thirty pieces of silver to our enemies. When the debt comes due and the financial obligations are demanded in repayment, where will the money come from, the U.S. Treasury printing presses? Can we just create money and buy our way out of this financial disaster? Not likely!

The Republicans have been in power for twenty of the last twenty-eight years. Republicans have ruled via Reagan-Bush One eight years, Bush One four years, and now Bush 2 eight years. They leave a deplorable financial legacy. During Bush 2 alone the National Debt has almost doubled, and by some current estimates, it has! “On the day Bush 2 took office, the National Debt stood at this unfathomable number:

$5,727.776.738,304.64

In fiscal shorthand, that’s $5.7 trillion dollars. Trillion with a “T.”

Six and a half years later, the Bureau of Public Debt tells us the National Debt clocks in at a staggering:

$8,835,268,597,181.95

That’s $8.8 trillion – an increase of $3.1 trillion dollars since January 20, 2001. And that amounts to a jump of 54% during Mr. Bush’s watch.

If you wanted to pay it off, dividing it equally among the U.S. population (estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau to be 302,103,675), it would come to $29,245.82 for every man, woman and child” (CBSNews.Com)!

I have looked at a plethora of United States National Debt charts and they all tell the same story! They graphically depict a distressing financial picture of the debt under each president since pre and post WW 2. The Republicans are most likely to increase debt during their administrations when compared to the Democrats! This is particularly distressing for me as I have been a registered Republican throughout my voting life. My grandfather was an ardent Democrat and knew politics very well. As a college graduate he learned the political sciences and was current on political issues throughout his life. Undoubtedly this is where I obtained my political passions. The one thing in this is; I thought for some reason that my grandfather was a Republican because he was always so conservative. Although he discussed politics fluently and frequently, I was somehow led to mistakenly believe that he was a Republican. So, I registered as a Republican to follow in his political footsteps and many years later I learned the truth from my mother, grandpa was a Democrat! Was I ever surprised, and so was my mother that I registered as a Republican!

Well, now we have a dilemma! What should be done this electoral year? For my part, some of the things Obama and Biden are saying capture my attention. However, I have a problem with their abortion and same sex cohabitation stances. I cannot condone the murder of innocents, and I cannot condone same sex relationships or marriages. So, thus the quandary! The Republican Party is offering stagnant candidates and more of the same. Their platform and execution of such will follow the Bush pattern, and as much as he tries to distance himself from Bush 2, McCain is still leftovers. And Palin can’t walk on water as some disillusioned Republicans believe. Between Palin and Hillary (and I can’t stand Hillary) I will give the academic and political edge to Hillary. Palin is politically livid by comparison. So now you can have war and debt with the Republican Party, or you can have the social doctrine with the Democratic Party. Personally, I think the obvious choice would be the one that leads to peace, and which party can supply this?

Hillary Clinton’s GOP VP Pick; Palin!

Never ever underestimate the power of a woman scorned, especially if it is in the mold of one Hillary Clinton. Do you honestly think McCain chose Palin? What are you drinking and or smoking? How many people know that McCain and Hillary are best buds? I wondered from the beginning why Sarah Palin was the GOP VP choice; it just didn’t make sense until I factored into the equation Hillary Clinton, and then it became crystal clear. Hillary was calling the shots because of her own party’s rejection. What better way to voice her obvious anger over being rejected in favor of Senator Obama first and then Senator Biden? Clinton (HR) is from assorted devious character molds such as Saul Alinsky that old radical from “Rules for Radicals” cookbook fame, if you want to call it that. Alinsky liked to use an evasive action called tactic proxy. Sometimes an attacker’s true target remains obfuscated. By attacking the target by proxy using circuitous means and methods, the attacker diverts the attention away from themselves. The true target in this case is the Democratic Party. So to avert suspicion, and divert attention away from herself and her supposed allegiance to the Democratic Party, Hillary makes a subversive proxy attack via John McCain to obtain her vengeance for being rejected as the Democratic Party presidential nominee, and then being snubbed for the VP slot. Hillary contacts John McCain and tells him to select Sarah Palin as his running mate. Don’t think the Clinton’s are capable of such deceit, where were you living during the Clinton Mafia years, in a vacuum?

Everything stinks about this entire GOP process. Forced to drink Kool-Aid by the GOP; Republicans are following along like sheep to the slaughter. Forced to accept a mentally challenged person for their presidential candidate, Republicans are being basically forced to carry the banner, the fetid water and then agree to everything being said by GOP officials. There is no way under creation that I could ever personally support something like John McCain for president. Perhaps he will have a heart attack and die so a better choice could be found. Perhaps the GOP can find someone who won’t foist upon the GOP the “it’s my turn” imbecility and be a genuine honest to goodness candidate with high morals and no mental issues. Who in blue blazes ever said it was John McCain’s turn, and just how do you figure that, because he said so? What bovine scatology! The earth has close to seven billion inhabitants, and the USA has over three hundred million people. I tell you this; if this is the best that this country or the world can offer, we are in deep you know what! If the four candidates that comprise the Democratic and Republican selections are the best America has to offer for potential presidential and vice-presidential choices, it’s over! We are absolutely finished as a nation. Somebody please sound taps and bring down the flag because it’s over!

PS Palin as GOP VP potential furthers the family values role of the Republican Party with an in-house unwed pregnant teenager! Now here’s a real good example for our youth to look up to, don’t you think?
