PLANT A PIG PROJECT TO SAVE AMERICA

TEXANS  CAN CONTRIBUTE A LOT
TO  THIS EFFORT!
Plant  a pig Please  donate to your local “Plant A Pig Foundation” today. Not tax  deductible, but well worth the effort.
In  Spain , at Seville some local people found a way to stop the  construction of another mosque in their town. They buried a pig  on the site, making sure this would be known by the local press.  Islamic rules forbid erecting a Mosque on “pig soiled ground”.  The Muslins had to cancel the project…this land had been sold  to them by government officials… No protests were needed by  the local people … and it worked!!
Not  dummies the Spaniards. They found a solution !!! No protests  needed!
In  Texas they have an over abundance of feral pigs. They could send  them all over  the country and just plant  them everywhere!  After all contaminated soil would surely drift and they could create  new job programs by having soil testers to determine where  contaminated soil existed.  Of course, high on the mountain  tops of the Rockies or other mountain ranges they  might  find some uncontaminated soil, but then building a mosque there  would pose some problem. Americans put on your thinking caps and  let find a solution to this problem of a spreading menace to  the American way of life!  If pigs are the answer let’s do  it!
Your Committee for the Betterment of America
Let’s  keep this going. Send it on!

“I Am An American, In the Clear Light of Day, or in the Darkest of Nights!”

and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.

We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

I AM AN AMERICAN!

See it as if you were blind and suddenly regained your sight!  Feel it as if it was burned into your soul!  Believe it as you believe in all that is holy!  Say it with strength, vigor and conviction!   Be proud of it, as it is an honor bestowed upon you by time and place.  Then spread it to the multitudes and liberty will be born again!

You are an American and there is no enemy, no power, no ideology and there is no force on earth, foreign or domestic, that can bring you to your knees.  The energy, intellect and fortitude of millions of American individuals, aligned like atoms in a magnet, can vanquish any enemy that dares to confront us, abroad or here at home.

Americans are the embodiment of the free spirit, where the words “I can’t” don’t exist.  They are the light that shines brightly in the night, across the entire planet.  They are the freedom fighters and the healers.  They are the doers and the creators.  They are generous without equal.  They are a force for good, rather than an instrument of evil.  They are the ones who sacrifice it all to save others from brutality, savagery and tyranny.  They are not perfect by any means but nevertheless, they try to do their best and strive for excellence.  They are not better than anyone else, just exceptional, because they live under the umbrella of freedom.

Do not dwell on the perennial purveyors of doom and gloom, for they will always be with us.  Instead, grab a broom and sweep the vermin who have been allowed to multiply in our HOUSE because we weren’t watching and sweep them out the door, into the cold where they belong.  Our HOUSE was designed for the brave and the courageous, not the corrupt, weak and timid.  Our HOUSE was meant for those that believe freedom is the natural order and are willing to defend it with all their heart, body and soul.  Our HOUSE is a home for those with honor, integrity, honesty and morality.  Our HOUSE is a home where we protect our own and take care of those that can’t take care of themselves.  If you do not possess these qualities and instead are takers, cheaters and criminals, you are not welcome in our HOUSE and will be cast out.

You are an American.  You are sovereign.  Do not let the “left” define whom you are because history has proved, time after time, that the “left” is wrong ….. wrong in ideology, wrong on principle and wrong in action.

Most Americans are not sheep, they are lions.  Let’s start acting like it and quit capitulating to the whims of a government that has lost all allegiance to the limits placed on it by our constitution and has gone mad with power, overt security precautions and draconian legislation that becomes freedom-robbing law.  Either vehemently resist or bow down, just like Obama did to the King of Saudi Arabia.  That is our choice as free Americans, fight or surrender.

If you do not believe in your heart that all creatures cry out for freedom, you do not understand nature.  If you are not aware that your government will do everything within its power to strip you of your freedom, you do not know history.  If you are not aware that the forces of evil are always trying to erode freedom, your eyes are not open, or you choose not to see.  If you do see and do nothing, you are a coward.  If you do not know that freedom has a price that you must pay, you are naïve and lack wisdom.  If you stand by and watch while others take up the “sword” of freedom, your soul shall find no peace and your children and grand children shall bear the scars of your in-action.  Join in this fight for freedom, it being the noblest and necessary of all causes.  We are individual Americans and we cannot be defeated, even if we have to carry the cowards and the weak among us on our backs, as we make our way “once more, unto the breach.”

Time For Economic Restoration Now Climate Change Deception Exposed
By Dr. Tim Ball Full Story

Problems are only problems if you are unaware of them. Once identified you’re over halfway to resolution. American voters rejected the Obama administration’s policies of increasing government control through energy, environment and economic policies. They voted for cessation and reversal. Now the new politicians and chastened survivors must act accordingly. Debt and deficit are serious problems and the solution depends partly on reduced government spending, but mostly on a vigorous growing economy and that depends on energy. Maurice Strong’s plan to collapse the industrial economies recognized this with his focus on fossil fuels and CO2, so that’s where the solution must begin.

It Just Isn’t Christmas without a Muslim Bombing
By Daniel Greenfield Full Story

Mistletoe. Egg nog. And now Muslim terrorism. Last year’s Christmas bomber was an African Muslim who stuffed his underwear full of plastic explosive and tried to detonate it on Flight 253.

This year it’s another African Muslim who tried to get an early start on Christmas terror by trying to car bomb a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.

Last year’s Christmas terrorist hailed from Nigeria. This year’s mad Muslim bomber comes from Somalia. And they bring with them tidings of a new season. A season in which holiday shopping now comes with massacre plots mixed in with the radio jingles and cheer.

TSA Circus Reveals Dangers of Marxist Politically Correct Security Rules

TSA Circus Reveals Dangers of Marxist Politically Correct Security Rules
By Kelly O’Connell Full Story

Enormous problems exist in TSA airline screening resulting from the nonsensical mixing of Political Correctness into safety procedures. Specifically, the problem is doctrines of progressive social engineering have become so powerful a centerpiece in minds of the elites that our very safety is threatened by this misbegotten ideology. Unsurprisingly, Political Correctness (PC) is not a randomly occurring phenomenon. Yet many will be shocked to discover PC is a product of social Marxism directed by expatriate German intellectuals in America after WWI.
In Plain Sight

No, I Don’t Miss Bush
By Daniel Greenfield Full Story

The billboards ask me if I miss George W. Bush, and my honest answer has to be, “No, I don’t.” I do miss Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. I miss John Bolton. But I don’t miss Bush. I appreciate that Bush, who found himself suddenly leading a country at war, said most of the right things, and even did some of them too. But he didn’t say the most important things of all. And that’s the problem.

Bush looks best against the background of Obama. But that’s setting the mark fairly low, because there is hardly an occupant of the White House in the last 60 years who doesn’t look pretty good compared to Obama.

There is nothing secure for America while Obama is in office

Condition – train – punish and transform us into a Communist style Regime

By Dr. Laurie Roth  Thursday, November 25, 2010

Obama and his sea of anti Constitutional advisers are using numerous bills, conditions and events to do 4 things to Americans – Condition – train – punish and transform us into a Communist style Regime.  We are to be brought down.  THAT IS THE GOAL OF THIS ADMINISTRATION.

How do they do it?

They have to test us

How will the people respond to chaos,  false accusations and insults while we watch the shredding of our constitution freedom?

We have seen the egregious assault and sell out orgy regarding the crammed Health Care bill against health and the American people.  The lies, taxes and constitutional betrayals are too many to count.  It is a full on assault against our rights to have choices in Health care,  have insurance or not have insurance.  This bill is filled with threats,  fines,  taxes,  rationed controls and Government manipulation.  It is not American at all but an Obama test and transformation!

As I have looked deeper into the vat of horror and insults in the Health Bill,  I see a theme, reflecting the philosophy of Obama and his sold out minions.  He has written about and spoken on his agenda to transform and change America over his radical and ‘volunteering’  career.

We know Obama is a fan of and was even taught from radical,  Saul Alynsky’s book,  Rules for Radicals and studied radicals like Clyde and Piven and his own ‘redistribution of wealth’  Father from Kenya.  His belief system is vividly clear by now.  It is evident he represents a bold challenge and assault to America.  This is not another Democratic shift to the left but a dangerous,  world view clash with America.

With the Health care bill Obama has been testing us to see how we would respond to extreme chaos,  out of control costs,  taxes, threats and fines.  Would we take it or would we fight it and how would we fight it? Over 20 plus law suits from States later,  the fight is on.

Obama is testing then hopefully training us, (while always punishing us),  to slowly boil in water like the frog,  and eventually take it.  He sees us screaming and yelling but has planned all along to go to such an extreme with the intention of appearing like the problem solving savior and backing up a bit eventually.  Obama and the progressive goal all along has been to dramatically push our Health care system into the toilet and back up 20-30% after all the law suits and insurance coverage failures.

Dr.  Elaina George said on my radio show that all along Obama has intended for the Health care bill and system to fail by introducing such chaos and expense to Health care.  This would finally get the American people to submit and come begging to the Government for its version of Health care.

Frank Salvato,  editor of http://www.newmediajournal.us also stated on my show just this week that Obama has always intended with a variety of issues to go too far to test and train the American people to take it,  while expecting to back peddle a small percentage,  making the American people feel like they have won.  Really he will have won since moving us 50-75% in the direction of total control was his goal all along,  not 100%

What about the TSA and groping nightmare?

Our 4th amendment rights against Government search and seizure are totally being violated with the ‘theatre of the absurd’  TSA security procedures in Airports across the country.  It is a known fact by now that the nudie security machines are radiation risks to all who walk through,  especially pregnant women.  Oh well,  since abortion is so protected and loved by this administration,  a few mutated babies here and there shouldn’t matter.  The Mom’s can always abort them.  In addition,  we also know they don’t discard all the nude images of our bodies as they say.  Some TSA workers have been caught making fun of body parts already.  The workers are groping between your underpants,  genitals and even requesting to have Prosthetic breasts taken out.  Naturally,  some of the photos,  especially of big breasts,  small penises,  and recognized travelers will eventually end up on U Tube or somewhere else on the Internet.

Law suits are flying,  airports are starting already to opt out,  per the advice of Rep.  John Mica of Florida who has contacted over 150 airports telling them of the 2001 law he helped write which allows them to do their own private security and opt out of TSA.

Obama has had a sea of advisers say that there is no other way to create enough security at Airports other than nudie scanner machines and extreme pat downs.  That position is incompetent,  a bold faced lie and increases the danger to the American people as they fly.  The real security that would not violate our 4th amendment rights and actually protect us from radical Muslims would be El Al like profiling and questioning, along with metal dictators and further security,  only as needed with suspicious individuals.

Since Obama is a total kiss up to Islam that won’t happen and Muslims will continue to have special treatment while we are violated,  waiting in longer lines and risking Islamic terrorists actually getting on planes.  I hardly believed my ears the last few days when I heard CAIR and Napolitano exploring the idea now of Islamic women wearing the traditional Hijab garb,  actually searching themselves and reporting to the TSA official if there was anything foreign or dangerous lurking within their robe.

For Napolitano or CAIR to even be talking about a Muslim searching themselves is a bold and vivid invitation for female Muslim terrorists to suddenly wear the hijab and magically avoid finding bombs strapped to their privates.

You can’t make this stuff up in a B horror movie.

It has never been one issue at a time with Obama.  It is a shot gun type assault on America with the intention every time,  regarding travel,  Health care,  Environmental manipulation/cap and trade,  financial stimulus bills,  taxation,  kiss up to Islam,  Airport security extremes and other national security failures.  Obama has only 4 goals…..TEST,  CONDITION,  PUNISH AND TRANSFORM AMERICA AWAY FROM ANYTHING WE HAVE EVER KNOWN.

What must America do until Obama and the rest of the dangerous progressives are thrown out?

Be angry and be grumpy but do something.

We are at a stage with Health care and now this TSA nightmare where we can’t back down.  Call your local and regional airport and tell them to opt out and follow Rep.  Mica’s proper suggestion, or else you and everyone you know won’t be traveling with them.  You can choose other transportation until this is straightened out. We all must stand and not back up for Obama’s training and conditioning plan.  He and Napolitano are already talking about the Nudie scanners being used for metro travel and trains.  Doug Hagmann http://www.homelandsecurityus.com called it on my radio show weeks ago and said this horror of security will soon be everywhere,  including schools and malls.  Take your stand and don’t back down at all on this one!

Elections will be coming up again in the next few years.

Organize behind conservatives state and federal who will go against Obama in 2012.  We need the voter turn out of the century because as you know the left will lie,  cheat and steal whatever elections they can.  The conservatives need everyone to vote!

Protest on all attack fronts by being in regular touch with your Mayor,  Governor,  Representative and Senator.  Keep them on track.

The new congress will start to clean this all up, but they can’t do it without a lively,  angry and focused American people the next few years.  Obama will continue to play with executive orders,  his czars from hell and treaties.

Expect in the days and months ahead,  Obama will submit to some reinstated tax cuts,  some compromise with health care and some compromise with TSA.  Remember,  where he plans and wants to compromise to will be his intended plan all along.

Hope for America

Obama did not count on the Tea Party movement turning into a well funded,  angry bunch of Americans, 100 million-plus strong.  We all gave him a gift at the Mid terms.  His Communist training plans have been a little thwarted.  Let us turn his thwarted and stalled plans into flattened pavement.  We will.

AMERICA MUST NOT BE TRAINED AND AMERICA MUST NOT COMPROMISE ON ANY LEVEL.

“The Government-Triggered Subprime Meltdown And Other Government Insanity!”

By Ron Ewart, President

National Association of Rural Landowners

and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.

We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

© Copyright November 26, 2010 – All Rights Reserved

In several of our previous articles we have issued the following admonition: “YOUR MONEY IS GOVERNMENT’S MAJOR POWER OVER YOU:  The first power that government has over you is YOUR perception that YOUR money is their money.  The second power that government has over you is by using the money they take from you by force of law, against you.  The third power that government has over you is that you will religiously obey their laws.”

“Only when the people realize that their tax money is being used to environmentally enslave them; only when the people realize that their tax money is being used to “feed” a growing population of other people dipping their bills in the government “pig trough” and those “takers” voting for those very same politicians that take our tax money by force to keep the “trough” full; only when the people realize that their tax money is being spent to brainwash and indoctrinate their school and college-age children in the ways of socialism, multi-culturalism, radical environmentalism, collectivism and one-world-government; only when the people realize that their government is using their tax money to merge America into the one-world-order; only when the people realize that the only way to stop this attempted conquest of American freedom and sovereignty is to resist government, en masse, in every legal way possible.  Only then will we reclaim our freedom.”

Another Failing Government Program which could trigger further economic collapse:

The U. S. Department of Education (ED) is “buying off” the American public education system with your tax money.  Here is the ED’s mission statement:

“ED’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. ED’s 4,200 employees and $63.7 billion budget are dedicated to:”

• Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.
• Collecting data on America’s schools and disseminating research.
• Focusing national attention on key educational issues.
• Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education.

Oh contraire!  Student achievement, educational excellence, equal access and global competitiveness my aunt fanny!  Their mission is to completely take over public education in America and “shape” it into their distorted vision of equality and fairness with one goal in mind ….. to brainwash and indoctrinate our children into mindless robots that will be good, loyal and docile members of the collective and will vote for liberals of any stripe.  The Department is loaded with so-called psychological experts, educated idiots and career bureaucrats that have a lot of money to spend and by God they are going to spend it, even if no substantial benefits are realized.

The proposed 2011 budget of $63.7 billion is a 31% increase from the 2010 budget, as requested by the President.  Talk about run-away spending, this is just another prime example.  What the ED does with this money is telling indeed. From their own website budget page, here are some line items from the 2011 budget summary that SHOULD curl your hair:  (http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/budget11/summary/edlite-section1.html)

1.    $1.35 billion for additional Race to the Top awards

2.    $500 million to continue the new Investing in Innovation (i3) program

3.    $900 million for a reauthorized School Turnaround Grants program,

4.    $405 million for Teacher and Leader Pathways

5.    $1.0 billion for Effective Teaching and Learning for a Complete Education

6.    $490 million for Expanding Educational Options

7.    450 million for a reauthorized Assessing Achievement authority

8.    $210 million to expand the Promise Neighborhoods initiative

9.    $410 million for a new Successful, Safe, and Healthy Students authority

10.  $7.5 billion over 10 years to expand income-based repayment options

11.  $1 Billion ESEA Contingent Reserve

12.  Pending Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA) (This is where the U. S. Government nationalized the student loan program)

There are even more line items with more billions and we could go on, but it gets boring and as Glenn Beck says, “blood will start to shoot out of your eyes” if we provided any more.  This is no little, benign government agency. What it boils down to is the complete nationalization of the American public education system and it has been in the works since 1980, if not longer.  Like all government bureaucracies, their budget and number of employees grows exponentially every year.   It aides and abets an increase in union power with teachers and nationalizes the public education curriculum.  Local control is gone, dead, “fini” and centralized, top-down power is set in stone, which is exactly what those on the socialist side of government want.

A couple of presidents and those on the Republican side of the aisle have tried to “kill” the Department of Education, but never had enough Democrat votes to do it.  Democrats like big government.  The bigger the better.

But what worries us the most, besides the massive government spending on an un-constitutional government agency, is the “Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act” (SAFRA) which was just recently passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President.

So we will start with an analogy.

Let’s say you are an investor and you invest a million dollars in a bank that grants loans to people for houses, cars and maybe even student loans.  The bank has a fiduciary relationship with you to properly manage and protect your investment …… doesn’t it?  In normal circumstances, yes.

But let’s just say that the bank managers are a bunch of liberal/progressives (many are) and they hate to see good people have financial difficulties.  From this irrationally compassionate perspective they start “forgiving” the borrowers of the bank’s (and your) money.  This “do-gooder” approach to lending eventually leads the bank having to file for bankruptcy.  Now if you are a secured investor, you might get some of your money back, if the bank has any money after all of the assets are sold off, if it has any assets to sell.  Does any of this sound familiar?

Using this analogy let’s compare it to the Community Reinvestment Act (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-cra-debate-a-users-guide-2009-6)  passed by Congress in 1977 under Public Law 95-128 and re-enforced by President Clinton in the 1990’s.  This act was another massive  theft of the public treasury by the liberal/progressive agenda to promise home loans to people who couldn’t afford to pay the loans back, mostly in big cities.  It was hugely successful, by that we mean that millions of loans were granted to un-qualified buyers and the banks and Wall Street raked in huge fees and profits and made out like bandits.  Fanny Mae and Freddy Mack (corrupt quasi government agencies) guaranteed the loans, which were backed up by the taxpayer’s wallet.  A large percentage of the loans went south and the subprime avalanche was triggered.  The resulting financial meltdown led to $700 billion in TARP funds that were used to bailout the banks, Wall Street and Fanny and Freddy and further led to the President’s irresponsible $787 billion “Stimulus” bill and a whole host of other nationalizations and bailouts, all funded by the American taxpayer, to save us from impending financial doom, a man-made event lying at the doorstep of the Congress and the President.

You may ask, what does the subprime meltdown have to do with the U. S. Department of Education?  The answer is a direct connection.

As many of us know, the government took over and is now going to administer the student loan program, ostensibly to save money because the bankers were getting rich off the program.  The new, government-administered student loan program, falls under the purview of the Department of Education. So now, the U. S. Government is going to be in charge of “screening” (that’s a laugh) applicants for student loans, over 2.5 million of them, according to their projections.

Most of us know how bureaucratic programs work, especially federal programs.  First, a giant, expensive bureaucracy is formed to administer the student loans and staffed by thousands of high-paid government employees, with a multi-billion dollar federal budget to run it.  Second, there is massive waste, fraud and abuse.   Third, and it’s a given, government will start forgiving loans to people who can’t pay them back.  They always do.  They even forgive nations who can’t pay our loans back.   If you will agree that your taxes (a forced investment) are paying for the “forgiven” loans, can you not then see the connection between the one-million dollar investor to our fictitious bank, that is “forgiving” loans to people who can’t, or won’t, pay them back?  You, the taxpayer, are the duped investor without a full disclosure from the government of the risks of your investment.  And to make matters worse, you were forced to invest (taxes). It wasn’t your volitional choice to invest, whether you were aware of the risks or not.

It is plain to see that when (not if) government starts to forgive student loans to people who can’t pay them back (government is so magnanimous with our money), just like the government encouraged banks to provide home loans to people that couldn’t pay their home loans back, a similar scenario could be set up for another government-triggered financial collapse, leading America closer and closer to national bankruptcy, if it isn’t there already.

Now you would think that the Federal Government has a fiduciary obligation to manage your investment (tax money) carefully, but they don’t.  In fact, they waste billions, if not trillions, of your tax money with the “sweep” of their collective hands, or by passing negligent, if not unconstitutional, 2,500-page pieces of proposed legislation into law.  Examples abound!  (i.e. TARP, Stimulus, Obama care, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, FDR’s New Deal, bank regulations, un-employment extensions, etc.  The list is almost endless.)

Here are the facts.  There is no constitutional provision that allows the federal government to establish a federal department of education.  There is no constitutional provision that allows the government to get into the student loan business.  They just unilaterally do it and they do it with your money, whether you like it or not.  And they do it to “buy” votes so that they can maintain their hold on perpetual political power.

For these and other reasons the U. S. Department of Education must be dissolved, all employees fired, all programs terminated, including the student loan program, and all left-over budgeted monies returned to the public treasury and then returned to the taxpayer in the form of reduced taxes.  Public education belongs in de-centralized, local hands, not in the hands of a hopelessly corrupt federal government with a devious, if not subversive, agenda.

Finally, all current student loans should be monitored for compliance and aggressively prosecuted if the borrowers don’t pay.  There should be no more forgiveness of student loans.

If the Congress and the President will not scrap the Department of Education, then it is up to each of the states to nullify all directives and obligations, fiscal or otherwise, from them and refuse any monies from the student loan program.  One state (Texas) is making an attempt to do just that by introducing a “Motion to Nullify the Department of Education.”  A copy of the proposed Motion can be found HERE: http://www.narlo.org/doenullify.html.  If Texas is successful, other states might just follow suit, that is if they aren’t thirsting after federal tax money because their own education budgets are busted by promises they couldn’t keep.

As long as the Federal Government (and even state governments) continues to initiate social programs for the sole purpose of buying votes and re-distributing America’s wealth “from those with the greatest capability, to those with the greatest need“, (Karl Marx socialist doctrine) America will go the way of Europe and all other countries that have implemented a socialist government and failed miserably.  Riots and civil unrest will become common place in America as government’s promises are withdrawn because it ran out of “other people’s money” and inflation will consume the country as it did in the Weimar Republic, Argentina and Zimbabwe, for much the same reasons.  If you were a “willing” investor in this failed “Company” (and you aren’t because you had no choice) you would sell your stock immediately.  Ah, but you can’t sell your stock, can you?  The “Company” (The U. S. Government) is rapidly going bust and no one will buy what it has to offer because not only is its “product” defective, its “service” stinks, a sure recipe for fiscal failure and ultimate bankruptcy.

We maintain that it is well past time for us “stockholders” to change the chief executive and the “board of directors”.  As stockholders in this failing “Company”, we can do that, but we had better not wait too long or our delay will lead to a particularly nasty form of national hara-kiri where America is financially disemboweled by its own stupidity.  November 2nd, 2010 was a start, but we have a long way to go from there.
