History Lesson On Your SS Card

post sent by Dan Morris

[My SS card was issued in 1969 and, indeed, the Not for Identification is not on it. Neither does it appear on my children’s, but there is something strange.

The information provided on the back of my card exactly as it’s written: Contact any social security office immediately if you: lose your card—to get a duplicate card.; change your name—to get a card in your new name.; are unable to work because of a severe disability expected to last a year or more.; are 62 or older—to ask about retirement checks.; are within 2 or 3 months of age 65, even if you don’t plan to retire—to sign up for Medicare. [Then at the very bottom] Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration Form OA-702 (5-80)

Here’s what’s on my children’s, again exactly as it’s written: (Date: 1995) This card is the official verification of your Social Security number. Please sign it right away. Keep it in a safe place. Improper use of this card or number by anyone is punishable by fine, imprisonment or both. This card belongs to the Social Security Administration and you must return it if we ask for it. If you find a card that isn’t yours, please return it to: Social Security Administration, P.O. Box 17087, Baltimore, MD 21235. For any other Social Security business/information, contact your local Social Security office. If you write to the above address for any business other than returning a found card, it will take longer for us to answer your letter. [At the bottom] Social Security Administration Form SSA—3000 (4-95)

On my youngest: (Date: 2000) All is the same except: The address is P. O .Box 33008, Baltimore, MD 21290-3008, and the form is Form SSA—3000 (6-99)

I find that the information on my children’s cards is more authoritative sounding than on mine. It’s almost like more control is being put into play. Of course, that could be just me. Read the following. It’s very interesting.]

I checked my SS Card and it says “Not For Identification”! Of course it’s 43 years old and still the original one I was issued!

Just in case some of you didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security [SS] Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

An old Social Security card with the “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION” message.

Our Social Security: Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

  1. Participation in the program would be completely voluntary.
    No longer voluntary.
  2. Participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program.
    Now 7.65%, on the first $90,000.
  3. The money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
    No longer tax deductible.
  4. The money the participants put into the independent Trust Fund rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other government program.
    Under Johnson, the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent.
  5. The annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
    Under Clinton & Gore: Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month, [we] find that we are being taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government.

You may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent Trust Fund and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it? 
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the tie-breaking deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And, the worst part about it is… uninformed citizens believe it!

The most recent tax break that the puppet administration is pushing is, in fact, a reduction in the FICA tax that workers pay, which goes to pay Social Security, which is unfunded.  Why not cut some other tax rather than the FICA tax?

IF enough people SEE this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.

Erase the Hypocrisy, Please!

post by k. e. leger

You know I’m so sick and tired of the phrases conservative movement and grass roots. The United States of America was founded on Christian values that once upon a time took morals, values, and loyalty to their country very serious. Radical liberals were not accepted. In my opinion, whoever came up with these phrases are not true Americans in any since of the word. With that said, on with the 2012 campaign.

Ridiculous. The only word for it.

Conference in Louisiana after Oil Spill. Notice there's no flags. No U.S. President has ever forgotten the flags!

Candidate (so-sure-of-himself) #1—As anyone who reads my opinions here knows, the puppet shouldn’t even be in the Oval Office. He should have never been elected, but since he has (or placed), he should have been impeached that first year. My argument is strong here. Just read this site and you will understand the footing on which I stand.

Like many others I was floored after the November 2010 election. We called for impeachment but nothing happened. But then things cleared up, for me anyway. If you paid attention to who got elected, you would have noticed that many seats were incumbents (meaning, of course, that they were reelected—furthering their careers as politicians which should be a no, no since we taxpayers fit the bill.)

These incumbents were the ones (including the puppet) who signed the stimulus package of 2008. Remember that? It doesn’t seem like many people paid much attention to who was getting the money. AIG was one. Did you know that? Well, did you also know that AIG supports the Islamic world-destructive views? No, well, just do a little research and you will find that this company refuses to do business with Christians or any company or person associated with Christianity. That’s right! Okay, put a little sense in that one and you get the United States Congress giving money to support terrorism. That’s a big assumption but yet if they don’t do business with Christians, then who are they doing business with and who owns them? Check out what Insurance Journey and The Voice Magazine has to say about this issue.

So, I would assume that none of these Congress members who signed this package would want to face treason charges; and, since we have a president who is highly questionable in every aspect of his life, it would be right to assume there was some blackmail going on behind closed doors. “Impeach me and I’ll make sure everyone knows what you did!” I would not put it pass this puppet master because he lacks any kind of character.

Another question I keep asking myself is—should a president of the United States be campaigning 1 1/2 years before an election? Shouldn’t he be running the country instead? Shouldn’t he be protecting the country? Just wondering because I think it lacks a considerable amount of character to be doing what the puppet is doing.

For the other contenders. Here’s where my comment above about conservative movement comes into play. Humm.

How many times has he been married? A liar, a cheater, a traitor.

Candidate Prospect #2—Shouldn’t Trump be running on the Democratic ticket since he so proudly announced how he made more money on one transaction, that of renting American soil to a dictator who supports terrorism, than he did all year? Then he tried to cover his a…

As reported by Ryan Witt on examiner.com—”Donald Trump tried to justify his relative recent business dealings with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.  Yesterday, Donald Trump boasted about how he screwed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in some business dealings.  Critics questioned whether Trump should be profiting at all off of a known supporter of terrorism who has since become infamous for his brutal rule over his own people. …[A] CNN interviewer then asks if he gave Gaddafi’s money to charity. Trump goes on to claim that he did, in fact, donate the money he made off of Gaddafi to charity.”

Then he changed his story stating to Timothy Christopher of Mediate that he  “made it impossible for Gaddafi to rent the property, but instead it was local government officials.” Then he states that he didn’t know who he was renting the property to—”Trump claimed that he did not know it was Gaddafi who was renting the property. At the time, Trump claimed he thought the property was being leased to the United Arab Emirates, with no connection to Gaddafi.”

The joke’s on us. Of course, American politics has become a joke all around the world. We can easily be manipulated and deceived. Oh, and taken advantage of . Is Trump just playing around with us, too? South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, says to NewsMax—“Anybody that thinks he’s doing this for name recognition—that’s just not true. He’s very serious about it and he’s convinced he can win.” Now remember that he rented American property to a terrorist and dictator. Was there a deal made under the table? Think about it. Trump proudly announced that he made more money in that one transaction then in a whole year! Trump’s a very rich man. Does anyone know how much he made last year? It is reported that he is worth $2.9 billion.

So, better yet, should he be running for the President of the United States at all? He’s rich. Okay. And? That’s all that I see. Sure he built himself an empire in business. Oh, boo-hoo. That doesn’t make him worthy of being an American President. Did he hold any public service office? I mean maybe the public would vote for him since the puppet got in office with hardly any public service experience along with having friendships with Islamic terrorist criminals. Maybe Americans just don’t care to be free anymore.

Another point about Trump is—Just because he stirred up mess about the puppet’s birth certificate doesn’t makes him credible. The people should have taken care of that from the start. No, take that back, the United States Judicial system should have done this. And, once they failed to do their job, then the people should have stepped up to the plate and called for recalls across the board. That’s how it is suppose to be done. Now they are looking up to a traitor because he’s got enough money to do so? How absurd!

If she runs and if she does what she did for Alaska, America would say farewell to all those who want to destroy her because she would regain her power.

Presumed Candidate #3—Tell me Sarah Palin doesn’t have experience and you’d be a liar. She has a lot of experience. What she did for Alaska is amazing. Why wouldn’t she make a good candidate? Because she is a strong Christian? Oh, yeah, the moslums in Washington wouldn’t like that one because she would interrupt their take-over plans! That’s the only reason I see that would be anyone’s reason to not support her. After all, there’s no one else willing to step up to the plate that’s worthy enough. Isn’t that true?

But still there’s still mess. NewsMax reports “a battery of recent polls that suggest her once sky-high popularity is plummeting on many key fronts—among Republicans and independents, for example, as well as Alaskans.” Very interesting. I guess these poll takers didn’t read her books. I did. Maybe Palin should create her own ticket. After what she witnessed during the 2008 campaign, I doubt that either party—Republicans and Democrats—value the Constitution much anymore. George Washington was right on the mark when he said that parties bring only corruption and separation. I mean no one seems to be questioning why Americans aren’t voting for people who really care about our ways and our laws; instead, they are voting (or something else) people in office that really hate this wonderful country!

Career Politician!

Candidate #4—And who’s Rep. Michele Bachmann? Here’s what NewsMax had to say, “Somewhat surprisingly, Bachmann may be the trio’s most serious candidate—at least, her recent fundraising suggests she is. The three-term congresswoman raised $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, according to her newly released Federal Election Commission filings. Of that total, $1.7 million came from her congressional committee, and $500,000 from her political action committee. She even outpaced former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who’s noted for his fundraising strengths and is viewed by many as the party’s 2012 frontrunner. Romney raised $1.9 million in the first quarter of this year…Indeed, political insiders say Bachmann has distinguished herself from Palin and other GOP candidates by walking the walk with tea party activists. “She’s got so much money, and she’s a true believer. And she’s beaten the odds, repeatedly,” Sabato said. “She’s egged on by the media in a different way than Palin. Palin gets irritated, while Bachmann gets even. And she gets even by running.””

Let’s not keep making mistakes. First, a 3-term congresswoman? Power. That’s all I see. While the American people are continuously financing her life style, she’s gaining power and living high on the hog. Aren’t we tired of this? Weren’t Republicans trying to limit congressional terms to 2, and yet, they are supporting a 3-term candidate? Do you see the hypocrisy?

That’s the candidates. So far I haven’t seen any democrats stepping up to take on the hate-Americans agenda puppet.

The plot thickens. Now, there’s all this BS about the tea parties. As NewsMax stated “all three would-be candidates are forcing tea party activists to make some important decisions as they try to grow into a more enduring force in American politics.”

I don’t think you can force anyone to do anything. The tea party Americans are for what this country is suppose to be about—loyalty to God†, loyalty to the country, less taxes, and freedom. So, why is there so much hype about them? After all, we are all suppose to be Americans. After all, everyone living here claiming their citizenship by birth or other are enjoying all that America stands for. Shouldn’t everyone be fighting for the same thing?

My point is that when ideas like those the tea party goers had when they first began change radically, I begin to wonder who’s telling the truth. Newsmax reports that “early polls suggest that Trump is dominating the GOP field—among Tea Party activists and more mainstream Republican voters. A new PPP poll showed Trump leading his nearest GOP competitor by 9 points. (That’s likely a result of Trump’s towering name recognition; according to a Pew Research Center survey released Wednesday, 39 percent of Republicans named him as the potential candidate they’ve heard the most about lately. That was more than all other candidates—combined).”

Who’s giving and taking these polls? You mean to tell me that the very people who rallied for the Constitution are going to support a man who rented American land to a terrorist? I don’t believe that one for a second. I see the press pushing their agenda on innocent people. Again!

After all, the press pushed the puppet. They made him look like a saint while bashing a true, Christian (honest) candidate. They even went as far as turning the State of Alaska against her. Is this jealousy? Then the press made the puppet look like he was the next best thing to the invention of bread while bashing a war hero who honored America enough to suffer torture instead of giving up secrets! The press is known for supporting the release of secret information as they did during the Bush years after 9/11 putting the United States citizens at risk, not even thinking or caring about their actions. So, why do Americans even trust them anymore? They are not sticking to the ethics of true journalism. I bet over half of them don’t know what the word objectivity means. It’s all about fame and money!

I’m disappointed to say the least. We, as Americans, should have already recalled over half of the judicial branch and most of congress, and we should have forced the impeachment of the puppet. But no one is doing anything! My own family hates the fact that I write about politics and refuses to hear me when I talk about it. That says a lot to me.

We have lost the meaning of being an American. We have forgotten those who sacrificed for the freedoms we have. We are willing to give up the Constitution and our freedom so we don’t have to struggle with making decisions. “Oh, let someone else do it!” is the mind-set of today’s American. Oh, what a sad, sad world this is.

It’s time to step up to the plate. Put fear behind us and just do it! It’s now or never. Have American anyone?

Change?

Economic Recover: 100% Fake

post by Robert Wiedemer, MoneyNews.com

That’s right. The recovery is a fake. It is completely a result of massive increases in government borrowing. The cheerleaders like to tell you that the economy has rebounded. We had government stimulus earlier, but now animal spirits have taken over and it is running on its own. Hah! The recovery is only stimulus.

Let’s look at the numbers—In 2007, the GDP was $14.0 trillion. In 2010, the GDP was $14.6 trillion. That’s a net increase of $600 billion—$600 billion in 3 years is not good, but it is a rebound that is at least slightly above inflation.

However, let’s compare that to the increase in government borrowing.
  • In 2007, the U.S. government borrowed and spent $163 billion.
  • In 2010, the U.S. government borrowed and spent almost $1.4 trillion.

That’s a net increase of over $1.2 trillion. The entire increase in our GDP can be attributed to the increase in government spending. In fact, the increase in government spending is almost two times the increase in our GDP. That means the economy is doing very poorly indeed. Without massive increases in government borrowing and spending, there would be no recovery at all.

As a final note of how much the U.S. government has increased its borrowing and spending, in February 2011 alone we borrowed and spent $222 billion. That’s almost 40 percent more than in all of 2007.

Government AAA Rating: Fishy

post by Lee Bellinger, publisher of Independent Living [I’ve been reading about the U.S. debt for a year now and it’s strange to see articles like this one below and then watch the news on T.V. Am I the only one seeing the drastic difference here? The T.V. news is constantly reporting that the Wall Street numbers are climbing (in fact a few days ago there were some Wall Street people standing outside their building with clappers celebrating! as reported on CNN). So, who’s telling the truth? If you are paying attention, there are swarms of businesses drastically advertising to get your gold. Okay, why would they be doing that if the Wall Street numbers are climbing? Interesting, isn’t it, how the news on T.V. and the government seems to be deliberately hiding the reasons why gold is all of a sudden so much in demand! Just a thought.]

Trying to figure out how the U.S. dollar’s swan song is going to play out is among the favorite parlor games among analysts these days. And the truth is, none of us is really smart enough to know! But there are some tantalizing warnings out there for those with the courage to pay attention to the grim realities now unfolding.

The National Inflation Association recently pointed out that the Federal Reserve is buying a whopping 70% of U.S. government debt. This is the most inflationary thing a country can do. But the U.S. feels forced to fill the void left by waning foreign purchases of U.S. debt, which have fallen from 50% of all debt issuance to 30%. So our government is essentially writing and cashing checks to itself.

Last Monday, even the politically compromised Standard and Poor’s credit rating service had no choice but to lower its long-term outlook for U.S. debt from stable to negative. Disturbingly, it still gave Uncle Sam a AAA credit rating, despite the fact that government finances are hanging by a thread and totally dependent on desperation-level money creation to stave off a major cash flow crisis.

This government-debt Ponzi scheme is many years in the making, and readers of my two subscription publications—Independent Living and Money, Metals, and Mining—are well aware of the problems brewing now, the coming storm, and how to protect their wealth from the impending collapse of the dollar.

An important note—S&P only downgraded its outlook, which means it may lower the U.S. AAA rating in the next two years if Congress doesn’t fix its problems. In other words, it’s just a warning!

There’s Something Fishy Going on When
Government Debt Can Maintain AAA Rating

It’s a shame S&P has dragged its feet for years to warn the average citizen of the dangers ahead. Why the lag? Chalk it up to another blatant example of crony capitalism. Should we trust the S&P’s ratings? Remember, during the subprime-mortgage market fiasco, S&P maintained AAA ratings on many mortgage-backed securities up until the day they imploded. Something doesn’t smell right.

Don’t Let Your Guard Down

Behind the curtain of the bond and stock market circus and government newspeak, the smart money globally is shunning U.S. paper, seeing the inflationary destruction ahead.

I hope you’ve been taking to heart the insights we’ve issued for the past two years—long before the S&P’s revised outlook—and are using them to fine tune your own contingency plans. But so many others have issued dire warnings in recent weeks and months—

  • Warren Buffet—”I do not like short-term bonds, and I do not like long-term bonds. And if you push me, I’m sure I don’t like intermediate-term bonds either. I just think it’s a terrible mistake to buy into fixed-dollar investments at these kinds of rates.”
  • Jim Rogers—”Bonds are making a top. They’ll be in a bear market soon.
  • Bill Gross—Both the world’s top bond fund manager and manager of the world’s largest bond fund, Gross dumped ALL U.S. government debt from his funds’ holdings. He diversified his Total Return fund (PTTDX) into corporate and foreign bonds as well as bond alternatives such as convertibles and preferred equity shares.
  • Robert Zoellick—The World Bank President said last November that gold has become the “yellow elephant in the room.”

The implications for your future purchasing power are dire…

  • China and four other leading high-growth economies, the so-called BRICS economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), have taken landmark steps toward lowering the importance of the dollar in international financial transactions by moving towards a multi-currency reserve and trading system.
  • It’s highly likely that Japan, one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries ($885.9 billion worth) will sell some to fund the rebuilding of its disaster-ravaged economy.
  • China, the biggest buyer of U.S. Treasury securities, trimmed its holdings for a fourth straight month in February.

Good news for sound money advocates and gold and precious metals investments—

  • In March, the Utah state legislature passed the largely symbolic Utah Legal Tender Act, making Utah the first state in recent times to accept gold and silver coins as legal tender. Other states are considering similar legislation in response to the Federal Reserve’s dangerous monetary policy.
  • The UTIMCO endowment, which oversees funds held by the University of Texas System and Texas A&M University exchanged fiat and gold paper investments and took delivery of 6,643 physical gold bars valued at nearly $1 billion. Dallas hedge-fund manager J. Kyle Bass, who helped advise UTIMCO says, “Central banks are printing more money than they ever have, so what’s the value of money in terms of purchases of goods and services. I look at gold as just another currency that they can’t print any more of.”
  • Even establish mentarian banks are acknowledging the dollar is emerging as a solid alternative to the dollar. In early February J.P. Morgan bank quietly announced it would accept gold as collateral for loans.
  • In November, ICE Futures Europe (Intercontinental Exchanges, Inc.) began to accept gold bullion as initial margin for crude oil and natural gas futures (a big step given that global energy prices have been almost exclusively denominated in dollars).
  • The Wall Street Journal recently noted another sign that the greenback is rapidly losing its credibility—Stock exchanges in Chicago, New York, and Europe have started accepting gold for some trades.
  • Central banks worldwide became net buyers of gold starting in 2009, after more than two decades as net sellers.

Protect yourself from the toxic dollar with a safe-haven portfolio for inflationary times. It should contain a multitude of assets such as precious metals, commodity-related stocks, emerging markets stocks, dividend-paying stocks, and alternative cash cushions found in foreign currencies.

Another Impeachable Offense Ignored

post from Liberty Counsel Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Apr. 1, 2011

Tens of thousands of American patriots have joined you in signing the Defend the Constitution Declaration. We want to hand deliver thousands more of these Demand Letters from the American People as soon as possible, but I need your help. Please read my following update, then copy the message and forward it on to 10-20 like-minded patriots. We must stop the subversion of our Constitution.

I know that we are like-minded in the direction the puppet administration is taking our country. Yesterday, Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) told CNS News that the puppet did not have constitutional authority to use military force in Libya without congressional approval. When asked if the President’s action is an impeachable offense, Rangel said that Congress would have to make that decision. However, he added that he would “like to believe” members of Congress will closely examine the issue. Unfortunately, Congress is unlikely to seriously look into the issue. It is not politically “expedient” to hold the puppet accountable while his party holds a majority in the United States Senate.

[Is this representing the best interest of the country as a whole or merely the best interest of those in POWER? Don’t we elect these individuals to represent our best interest and those of the United States of America? Are we going to continue to let this man abuse our country as HE sees fit? Are we going to continue to let him make US a mockery for the benefit of HIS people?]

Nonetheless, we have the puppet’s and Vice President Biden’s own words in statements calling this type of action unconstitutional when THEY were attacking former President George W. Bush!

There is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the puppet White House. The puppet behaves as though he is somehow above the law! This administration seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!

[Or could it be that he is getting away with advancing his cause as a Moslem? I mean…he DID write about how he REALLY felt in a book before he even ran for office; and like Hitler, it went unnoticed! After all, isn’t what he’s doing indeed advancing the cause of Islam? Has the Arab world spread its money so much around America that they have literally bought AMERICA? I mean look at Donald Trump who sold American soil to an American Hater (and then bragged about how much money he’s made in that ONE transaction instead of thinking about how much DAMAGE he’s done to our American foundation—how selfish can one be?), and now says he’s going to run for president! What hogwash! How much more of this BS do we have to put up with?]

The puppet administration presumes it is bigger than the presidency. No man is bigger than the office he is elected to hold. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no office holder would be more empowered than the Constitution allowed.

[But those of us trying to defend and protect our country are called grassroot radicals, conservative radicals! It’s amazing. I’ve been defending my position on facebook all morning long. Why am I having to do this? Why has America come down to this? Is it maybe because these Moslem people, who have moved into America in droves, have used their psychology on us so well that Americans don’t even realize what they are doing? I mean look around: they are in stores, schools, governments. Take a poll and just see how many Moslems are teaching your children in American universities and claiming to be peaceful to the point of arguing about it. They are in your heads and you can’t even tell the difference, but, as they wish, you are bashing your own fellow country men and taking their side without even a thought. They have found a way to completely turn Americans against each other and none of you are seeing it for what it is.

I mean think about it. America has a history of racial issues, and we’ve come a long way to fix our wrong. This is a personal issue for all Americans, but it has ALWAYS been our problem, our personal black mark. Do you not think those who want to destroy us haven’t been paying attention? What better way to cause chaos and get one of their own into our government and leader of the United States of America which would be their golden spike to bring her down, then finding a “black” man to be their puppet! Take a close look at his past history, who he has associated with, what type of experience he’s had, what is his voting record, take a good hard look at his speeches, watch his movements as he gives those speeches, watch the “glamor” shows he’s put on, go back and write down all his promises to the people, then jot down everything he’s done since he’s been in office.

Hell, he almost had me convinced. I watched him on Oprah and he stated that he would stop importing foreign cars and he would whole-heartedly rally for American workers. He said he would drill and make America self sufficient again. What has he done: he didn’t help the American farmers, he stopped new drilling all together in America but is giving tones of American dollars for Brazil to drill, he’s given money to Hamas (terrorist group who hates America), had a Mexican president address congress speaking against one of HIS own States, he’s refuse to defend one of HIS own States (remember he took the oath, swearing to defend his country and States), he’s gone around the globe criticizing the very country he’d swore an oath to DEFEND, he bailed out banks with tax-payer money, he constantly criticized a former President, he told the world the secrets we used to get information from terrorist and all together halted any information-getting technique we used, top secret information has been leaked out (they blame an internet site!) but this happened after a number of Moslems were hired given top-secret clearance only to be later discovered that they LIED on their applications, he’s gone around the world calling a nation founded on Christian values NOT Christian, he rushed a health bill through congress pretty much threatening them (a bill that dictates when you shall die and how, legitimizing abortion, etc), he formed a Council of Governors to keep an eye on “Americans”, he called conservatives “gun carrying radicals”, he tried to start a race war, he overtook private companies telling them what they can and cannot do, do I have to go own.

He should immediately be impeached by the whole of CONGRESS. The hell with party…he’s destroying our country. Then we won’t have a need for party! Is that what everyone wants? How about Islam taking over the country (remember their country has been riddled with warfare for so long that they can’t drink their own water and there’s hardly any grass to grow food…they WANT this country)? How would you feel if some Islamic person along with a truck load of gun-carrying friends decide he likes your land and tells you to leave, or hell, knowing Islam, they would just kill you and any sons you have and take your daughters as their slaves and use them as they see fit and when they get tired of them, they’d just kill them? That’s what you are up against! Tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.]

The puppet’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with him in Congress, the administration, the federal bureaucracy, State offices, and any other position of public trust must also be held accountable. Liberty Counsel is continuing to demand that elected officials (all of them!) live up to their Oaths of Office—or be FIRED, RECALLED, or IMPEACHED. If you also believe that we, the American People, should demand the proper use of constitutional authority, accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law—in short, to defend the Constitution of the United States—then you should immediately sign our Defend the Constitution Declaration!

End of America

The following presentation is long and at the end the Stansberry Research group wants you to purchase a few things. You’re not obligated to do so and that’s not the reason I’ve posted it. What Porter Stansberry has to say is the reason why I’ve posted it.

America, we have fallen to trying times. If we don’t act now, we will destroy ourselves from the inside. You have to see the gray between the black and white. All this printing of money, all this government intrusion into private industry, all this government intrusion into our health systems, all this government blocking of producing our own energy, all this “American” support for foreign oil and our enemies should alert some bells, should alert a LOT of bells.

What is the matter with all of you? Don’t you enjoy your freedoms? Don’t you want your children and grandchildren to enjoy the right to be free? We are all about to be really poor. I hope those of you who have never been on a farm or in the country can survive. If you don’t pray, now is the time.

History: Social Security Card

post by unknown author

[This information is true! As I write my chapbooks, working through each president, I see where their illusions began. Congress finds a way to get the people to approve the law they want and then, because the people approved it, they decide on their own that they can change it and dictate what “they” want, which only benefits “them.” The American public has been fooled many times and because Congress doesn ‘t openly publish what they pass on the floor, you have no idea that your life is being controlled and laws are being passed without your say-so. In turn, you just accept it as “normal.” And, why you do so, Congress is stealing “your” hard-earned money and living high on the hog!]

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (and some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican.

Facts are Facts!

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message was removed. An old Social Security card with the “Not for Identification” message.

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised—

  • That participation in the program would be completely voluntary.
    • No longer Voluntary

 

  • That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program.
    • Now 7.65% on the first $90,000

 

  • That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deducible from their income for tax purposes each year.
    • No longer tax deductible

 

  • That the money the participants put into the independent Trust Fund rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other government program.
    • Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent

 

  • That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
    • Under Clinton and Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month—and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to put away—you may be interested in the following:

 

  1. Q: Which political party took Social Security from the independent Trust Fund and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
    1. A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
  2. Q: Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
    1. A: The Democratic Party.
  3. Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
    1. A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the tie-breaking deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
  4. Q: Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
    1. A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so. But it’s worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to? Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

And Congress gives themselves 100% retirement for only serving one term!

Brits Take on Moslem Idea

post sent by Dan Morris, Sept. 21, 2010

[Remember: Islam vs Christianity. Crusades. Destruction of God’s world. History always repeats itself. Americans should be more than angry. They should be rounding all these Moslem‘s up and sending them packing. Mr. Condell, well done—well done!

PS. I thought it strange that on my MySpace page, someone of Moslem decent has signed my sign-in book with a picture of them in their white gown. My sentiments on these people are not prejudice but something else. I can’t quite put my finger on it. But it seems whoever is God’s enemy, is mind as well. So, with that said, keep on keeping tabs on me. I won’t hush! I’m an American. I’m a child of God and believe, without a doubt, in Jesus Christ. I’m a Southerner. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

PSS: You probably noticed my spelling of Moslem is now different from how everyone is spelling it Muslim. A little history—the Islamics changed the spelling of their name from Moslem (which means evildoer) to Muslim (which means beleiver in God/faith. You have to see that it’s all a tactic to get people to trust them.]

We are becoming a victim of our own doing (again) should we allow this mosque to be built at ground zero. Our government has clouded judgment and we should not welcome every fanatic with open arms and an olive branch (they are at war with us). Do we need another 9/11 before we wake up and see the light? In England they are far enough away to see how foolish and naive we have become. Watch this clip by an English comedian who has taken off his comic relief had and is sending us a clear message.  —Dan

Definitely worth a watch. British citizen Pat Condell hits the nail on the head. Excellent presentation. Wake up America! Come out of the cave. Every American should see this. Please pass it on. Pat Condell is a British stand-up comedian, but this video isn’t comedy and it certainly isn’t funny. It’s pure truth and utterly brilliant.
