Helen Keller, America's Most Loved Radical Socialist!

As a child I used to take my allowance to the Ridglea Theater on Camp Bowie and watch movies.
Although I was only nine years old in 1962, I was fascinated by the film, The Miracle Worker, the story of Helen Keller. And although I haven’t seen it again in the 39 years since then, some of its images remain with me still. Patty Duke as young Helen, throwing things in a tantrum at the dining table; Annie Sullivan putting Helen’s hand under the pump and teaching her the word for water.

Of course, I’m not alone in admiring how Helen Keller first overcame her handicaps in life. I just
never knew what she did after that. So I went searching for the real Helen Keller.

Born in 1880, Helen was the daughter of a former Confederate Officer turned newspaper editor.
Though she was born quite healthy, a bout of scarlet fever at 19 months of age nearly killed her. She survived, but the fever left baby Helen deaf, dumb and blind. Her father wrote to ask Alexander Graham Bell for help. Bell, in turn, contacted friends at Boston’s Perkins Institute for the Blind. They sent their best pupil, Annie Sullivan, to Helen, and you know the story from there. With maybe one exception: It wasn’t the moviemakers who gave Annie Sullivan the title of the Miracle Worker, it was Mark Twain.

That’s the story you know, the one made into countless movies. Girl loses three senses, girl helps girl, girl overcomes handicaps and learns to speak, read and write. By the way, Helen Keller even graduated from Radcliffe College, in 1904.

Now here’s my question for you: What did Helen Keller do between her graduation from Radcliffe in 1904 and her death in 1968? After all, this incredible woman overcame every obstacle life had thrown in her path. So, what’s the lesson in this story, if she didn’t go on to accomplish something really important? If she was strong enough to survive her ordeals, but then did nothing else in her life with that force of mind, doesn’t that make her struggle insignificant?

Okay, maybe you know that Helen Keller gave lectures. She did. Maybe you know that she wrote books. Did that, too. Now, what did she speak and write about? Well, here’s how a typical bio of Helen Keller reads, “She championed women’s rights, fought for the cause of workers and equality for minorities.” This from another bio, “she spoke out against things such as child labor and capital punishment.” Good God, it only gets better, kids. A woman overcomes tremendous obstacles, then uses her new talents to champion the causes of underdogs. Makes you wonder why she had that FBI file, doesn’t it? That’s the problem with the way we tell our American history. It’s so darn innocuous and ... sanitized.

Let me give you a little list of Helen Keller’s writings and speeches. 1912, How I Became a Socialist; 1914, Brutal Treatment of the Unemployed; 1915, the Menace of Our Military; 1916, Strike Against the Great War; and the same year, Why I Became a member of the International Workers of the World. 1919, End the Blockade of Soviet Russia; 1921, Help Soviet Russia; 1929, The Spirit of Lenin.

That’s right, Helen Keller as an adult was a revolutionary Socialist and, according to J. Edgar Hoover, a Communist, to boot. Let me quote to you from an article Keller wrote in 1912, titled “How I Became a Socialist.” “The first book I read was Wells’ New World for Old.” By the way, Annie Sullivan gave her that book. Again from that article, “I am no worshipper of cloth of any color, but I love the red flag and what it symbolizes to me and other Socialists. I have a red flag hanging in my study.” She also uses the term “comrades” in that writing to describe her close friends.

In 1916 she gave a speech at Carnegie Hall, called Strike Against the War. Some excerpts. “We are facing a grave crisis in our national life. The few who profit from the labor of the masses want to organize those workers into an army which will protect the only the interests of the capitalists.” I wonder why they left that out of the movie. She went on to say, “Congress is not preparing to defend the people of the United States.It is only planning to protect the capital of American speculators and investors. Every modern war has had its root in exploitation. And your vote will not make a free man out of a wage slave.” Of course, Helen Keller said and did all that when she was just a mere Socialist.

In 1916 she joined the
International Workers of the World, a group which made Socialism look nearly right-wing Republican. In an interview with Barbara Bindley, published in the New York Tribune on January 16th, 1916, Helen talked about her political shift to the extreme far left, admitting that she was a disciple of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. Quoting her, from that interview: “I became an IWW because I found out that the Socialist party was too slow.” Bindley asks, “What are you committed to, education or revolution?” Keller replies, “Revolution. We have tried peace education for 1,900 years, and it has failed. Let us try revolution and see what it willdo now.”

In 1921 she wrote, “I love Russia and all who stand loyally by her in her mighty wrestlings with the giant powers of ignorance and imperialist greed. Oh, why cannot the workers see that the cause of Russia is their cause?”

In her book, Midstream, My Later Life, published in 1929, Keller writes, “I see the furrow Lenin left sown with the unshatterable seed of a new life for mankind.” She goes on, “...a new star has risen in the East, it is Russia and it will warm the world.”
Now let’s be fair. During Helen Keller’s early life, working in America didn’t give the average person the life of Riley. A job meant a 60-hour week, and most paid wages too low to support a family. The workplace was dangerous; but if you were hurt, no disability pay kicked in. Retirement plans, even Social Security hadn’t been thought of. Many struggling people, therefore, found it easy to believe in the concept of a worker’s paradise in Russia. Ronald Reagan was even taken in, but the Communist Party turned down his application for membership; they considered him a flake.

Helen Keller didn’t quit talking or writing about Socialist and Communist issues. Finally, in 1943, the FBI opened a file on her. They couldn’t tell whether she was a Communist, a Nazi, or a Fascist, but by FBI standards they knew she was something really rotten.

Helen Keller passed away in 1968. Today she’s idolized by millions, and her courage in overcoming her handicaps is an inspiration to us all. But, by not teaching them anything about Helen Keller’s life after she overcame those tremendous hurdles, we’re telling our children that her later life was without meaning, and that’s not true.

You see, those ideals she talked about in her radical days are reality today: Better wages, better working conditions, the end of child labor, women’s suffrage, help for the handicapped, and retirement benefits. They seemed radical at the time, but now they’re planks in any good Republican’s campaign platform. Yet, in her time, she was considered a dangerous radical — and we can’t teach kids in our schools to admire that, now can we?

You never knew she was a radical. You didn’t know her political beliefs; you didn’t know she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union, or that she gave money to help the NAACP in the twenties. You’re just like me, still mentally picturing Patty Duke with her hand in the stream of pump water, having the word spelled out in her hand by Anne Bancroft’s fingers. Past that, history has cleaned the slate of what she did — but we don’t have to remain ignorant.

Helen Keller called the nation to a worker’s revolution. She pitched a battle, in print, in speech and in the streets, against the evils of Capitalism.

I’ll leave today’s story with two of Helen Keller’s sayings, one humorous and one brilliant.
“I think God made woman foolish so that she might be a suitable companion for a man.”
And my personal favorite: “People do not like to think. For if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. And conclusions are not always pleasant.”

America’s most cherished radical and Communist, Helen Keller.

The Real Story behind the Political Parable " The Wizard of Oz " and the America’s Unknown Depression of the 1890's.

We are right back on the yellow brick road again! Another case to be made for history repeating itself.

Future historians will look back on this period of America’s history as possibly one of the most unique times the public has ever survived. It started with a Republican president and 20 years of legislation, which had consistently favored large corporations to the detriment of smaller companies and the average person. It was a period of major consolidation in industry, oil companies buying other oil companies, transportation industries buying the less fortunate. Even though they were remembered as good times financially, many companies struggled to make a profit in those years, constantly downsizing. But their executives didn’t care; they cared only about the price of their company’s stock - which was where they derived the vast majority of
their annual compensation.

But while a few such industry captains got rich in this period, increasing numbers of Americans were sliding below the poverty line. Farmers were in trouble, and no one in Washington seemed to care. Finally, a constant topic of discussion became stemming the flood of immigrants into this country; the fear that we would lose control of our sovereignty became widespread.

No, I’m not talking about today. I’m talking about the events that led up to one of the worst depressions in American history, known as the Panic of 1893.

Now, if I asked you to describe the 1890s in a sentence, most people would refer to that period as the Gay Nineties. But, that’s the power of Hollywood talking: Things couldn’t have been less gay. The 1890s were one of the most desperate times in our history, one of the lowest points for mankind our country has ever endured.

Today we think of the period after the Civil War as one of the stronger times for immigration and growth in America. We remember the words at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.” Here’s what we could have added: “and we’ll make them our hungry, poor and wretched refuse.” Because that’s exactly what we did.

American industry before 1893 was dominated by railroads, packing plants, steel industries and the like. However, for the laborer or industrial worker, more often than not a recent immigrant, wages were so low that even working a 96-hour week, a man couldn’t afford a place to live and food to feed his family. It’s true: Streetcar drivers in New York City earned $12 for working 16-hour days, six days a week. When they attempted to lobby for a mere 12-hour day, none other than Teddy Roosevelt, then a New York Assemblyman, branded them Communists.

Living quarters for the poor were squalid tenement apartments. Typically 12-by-12 rooms, they had no windows, no bathrooms, no fresh air ventilation. Many tenements were firetraps; it was common for one to burn down, killing all its residents. Moreover, laws had been enacted that protected the tenement buildings’ owners to the absolute exclusion of individual renters’ rights. This was a lucrative business: One of the biggest tenement landlords in New York, the Vanderbilt family, amassed much of its wealth from preying on the poor.

Toward the 1890s farmers, which comprised most of our citizens, found themselves earning less money than it took to grow their crops. A farm crisis; sound familiar? No, unless you were a Vanderbilt, an Astor, a Huntington, Rockefeller, or Carnegie, life in America wasn’t that great as the century drew to a close. It was about to get much worse.

Railroads are the symbol of our nation’s might in the period just before the Panic of 1893. Yet, because of their rapid expansion, they often made little money; owners preferred to make their millions by manipulating their stocks’ prices.

America was on the gold standard, with $190 million in bullion for reserves. However, silver mining interests in the West had managed to get legislation passed contracting our government to buy all the silver they produced. In effect, our currency should have been backed by both gold and silver, but it wasn’t - and things were about to go very wrong.

It probably started in 1890. That’s when the Barring Brothers investment banking firm in London, the major underwriter of our own Atchison Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad, collapsed financially. Panic started setting in.

Three years later, on May 4th, 1893, National Cordage, our largest maker of rope, suddenly folded. As America sat stunned, unable to believe that had happened, suddenly European countries started a run on our gold reserves, refusing to accept treasury bonds. Then the price of silver collapsed, making it impossible to back our currency with it.

Once the bad news hit there were runs on our banks; 128 closed in June of 1893 alone. At the end of that July, the Erie Railroad failed. In all, during 1893 15,000 companies collapsed, more than 500 banks closed, and 30% of our railroads, including the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific, became insolvent. Still sound like the nineties were gay?

Within two years we had less than $61 million in gold reserves. Our farmers were forced to burn their own corn to stay warm in the winters, because no produce buyer had the money to buy the crops. Unable to care for their children, destitute parents abandoned them; in Detroit alone it was estimated that thousands of abandoned children walked the streets begging for food and shelter.

Wages already below the poverty line were cut dramatically. And when workers struck, as in the
Pullman Strike, the National Guard would be called out to protect the industrialists. Violence toward workers by our government included killing individuals who were just asking for a living wage. Labor riots would mark the next four years.

Right here in Dallas our population actually fell during that period. Some local banks failed, and our flour and lumber industries all but disappeared.

One historian wrote that it is easy to spot photographs from this period; the average Americans in them are hungry, walking skeletons, with deeply sunken eyes. It was nothing less than the near total collapse of our economic system.

The Populist movement formed, primarily of farmers. Desperate to raise the prices of their farm
produce, they lobbied to get our currency insured with both silver and gold, but to no avail.
Evictions of the poor in New York were so frequent that one court averaged 150 cases a day. No one who lived through this time in America would ever forget it: Everyone suffered.

By 1898 the depression was coming to an end, finished off by our entry into the Spanish American War. But now you know why Henry Ford wanted to save the farmers, why he thought that by giving his car to the masses he could make their lives better.
For Ford created the Model T just 10 years after the end of The Panic of 1983. And now you know why his creation of a new middle class of laborers, beginning
with his five-dollar day, was a watershed event in this country, as was the 40-hour workweek
he instituted in 1927.

Yes, the financial panic of 1893 marked the end of the Gilded Age in America. It was also the pivotal point at which we went from being a nation that built for industry to becoming one that would ultimately be driven by consumers. So how come you never heard of this calamity? Why did you grow up thinking that the Great Depression is the only one America had suffered? You may not have learned about it in school, but you’ve seen the movie; every parent gets the children to watch it. You just didn’t realize that the movie represented America in the Financial Panic of 1893.

L. Frank Baum was a failure at many things. In the late 1880s he lived in Aberdeen, South Dakota; he owned a general store and a newspaper there that failed. But he was in the perfect position to understand the farmers’ plight, and to see with his own eyes how strongly they believed that they were being held hostage by the rail owners and Eastern banking syndicates.

Moving to Chicago, Baum was a reporter during this Depression; and in 1900 he published his political and symbolic parable, a roman á clef about the Financial Panic of 1893: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Here’s the key to the cast of characters: Dorothy represents the Average American. The tornado is the Depression of 1893, destroying everything in its path and ripping apart families.

Dorothy drops into the Land of the Munchkins, who represent common labor; small and insignificant, they’re enslaved by the Wicked Witch of the East - the Eastern industrialists. Dorothy sets labor free by killing the industrialist witch. But she wants to go back to her home, over the rainbow - signifying the real promise of America.

In the movie she’s given ruby slippers - but in the book they are made of silver. And she follows a yellow brick road; those two symbols stood for the farmers’ conviction that using both gold and silver would put us on the path back to prosperity.

The Good Witch of the North is the progressive voters of the Northern states. The Scarecrow represents the farmers; the average person believed they had no brains, but L. Frank Baum knew that they were in fact fairly clever.

The Tin Man is America’s industrial workers. Incapable of taking care of himself, he can’t even oil his own joints.

The Lion, who fears combat but is fearless when challenged, is Populist candidate William Jennings Bryan. And the Wizard of Oz is the president of the United States, a fraud who deceives people; he tells Dorothy to kill the Wicked Witch of the West - land and mortgage bankers.

So she does that, and the Good Witch of the South - not shown in the movie, but representing in the book the South’s progressive voters - tells Dorothy, the American people, that she can always go home by clicking her silver heels. Meaning that if they’d used the silver for currency reserves, then things would have stayed just fine.

That’s right, The Wizard of Oz is a political parable. It envisions killing the industrialists, who held laborers hostage, and bankers, who owned farm mortgages. It showed the president as a man who first deceived everyone, then set the workers free. And finally, the Progressive voters in the North and South, shown as the good witches, let us know that if America would follow the gold road, and click our silver heels, we would again become a nation of liberty, equality and wealth for all.

You may never have known how tragic the 1890s were in America. You may not have learned that a depression happened then, or that it destroyed so many families. But you’ll never be able to watch The Wizard of Oz again without being reminded of it.

Ronald Reagan on Healthcare, Don't say we weren't warned!

RONALD REAGAN ON HEALTHCARE

Don't say we weren't warned

Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.

There are many ways in which our government has invaded the precincts of private citizens, the method of earning a living. But at the moment I'd like to talk about another way because this trip is with us and at the moment is more imminent.

One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it.

Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We had an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly rejected this.

So with the American people on record as not wanting socialized medicine, Congressman Ferrand said, if we can only break through and get our foot inside the door, they can we can expand the program after that. Well, let's see what the socialists themselves had to say about it. They say once the Ferrand bill is passed, this nation will be provided with a mechanism for socialized medicine capable of indefinite expansion in every direction until it includes the entire population. Well, we can't say we haven't been warned.

James Madison in 1788, speaking to the Virginia Convention said: “Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

Now in our country under our free enterprise system, we have seen medicine reach the greatest heights that it has in any country in the world. Today, the relationship between patient and doctor in this country is something to be envied any place. The privacy, the care that is given to a person, the right to chose a doctor, the right to go from one doctor to the other.

But let’s also look from the other side, at the freedom the doctor loses. A doctor would be reluctant to say this. Well, like you, I am only a patient, so I can say it in his behalf. The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it’s like telling a lie, and one leads to another. First you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. They are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. But then the doctors aren’t equally divided geographically, so a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can’t live in that town, they already have enough doctors. You have to go someplace else. And from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.

This is a freedom that I wonder whether any of us have the right to take from any human being.

In this country of ours, took place the greatest revolution that has ever taken place in world’s history. The only true revolution. Every other revolution simply exchanged one set of rulers for another. But here for the first time in all the thousands of years of man’s relation to man, a little group of the men, the founding fathers for the first time – established the idea that you and I had within ourselves the God given right and ability to determine our own destiny.

This freedom was built into our government with safeguards. We talk democracy today. And strangely we let democracy begin to assume the aspect of majority rule is all that is needed. Well, majority rule is a fine aspect of democracy, provided there are guarantees written in to our government concerning the rights of the individual and of the minorities.

What can we do about this? Well, you and I can do a great deal. We can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms and that you demand the continuation of our traditional free enterprise system. You and I can do this. The only way we can do it is by writing to our congressmen, even if we believe that he's on our side to begin with, write to strengthen his hand. Write those letters now. Call your friends and tell them to write. If you don't, this program, I promise you, will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow. And behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country... until one day as Norman Thomas said, we will awake to find that we have socialism. And if you don't do this and if I don't do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free.

Military To Work With FEMA During Swine Flu Pandemic
by Paul Joseph Watson

According to a CNN report, the military will assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant swine flu outbreak in the U.S. this fall, stoking fears that the pandemic, which has claimed relatively few lives so far, will be used as an excuse to implement martial law and a mandatory vaccination program.
“The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military,” states the report.
The proposal, which was drawn up by U.S. Northern Command’s Gen. Victor Renuart, is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The first step would be to sign an “execution order” which would authorize the military to begin detailed planning on how to implement the proposal, before actual orders to deploy military personnel are given.
The amount of troops required or whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces has not yet been determined.
Northcom has been preparing for mass flu pandemics for years and indeed, Gen. Victor Renuart spoke of the threat of a flu pandemic emerging out of Mexico just weeks before it actually happened.
Testifying back in March, Renuart said Northcom would provide “assistance in support of civil authorities” during an epidemic, adding “when requested and approved by the Secretary of Defense or directed by the President, federal military forces will contribute to federal support.” However, Renuart then added, “USNorthCom does not wait for that call to action.”
“Because Mexico is our neighbor and disasters do not respect national boundaries, we are focused on developing and improving procedures to respond to potentially catastrophic events such as pandemic influenza outbreak, mass exposure to dangerous chemicals and materials, and natural disasters,” he testified.Northcom was only relatively recently assigned its own fighting unit – the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, which had been fighting in Iraq for five years before that. As we have previously reported, the Armed Forces Press Service has initiated a propaganda campaign designed to convince the American people that deploying the 3rd Infantry Division in the United States in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act is a good thing, with images of soldiers from the brigade helping in “humanitarian” rescue missions, such as car wrecks. This is all designed to condition Americans to accept troops on the streets and highways as a part of everyday life.
The assignment of the 1st Brigade Combat Team to Northcom alarmed the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). “This is a radical departure from separation of civilian law enforcement and military authority and could, quite possibly, represent a violation of law,” said Mike German, ACLU national security policy counsel.
The news that troops are being prepared to work with FEMA in the event of a swine flu pandemic will increase fears that the government is preparing to enforce a mandatory vaccination program – at gunpoint if necessary.
State health authorities have already confirmed that if the government were to announce a mandatory vaccination program, then there would be no exemptions whatsoever and the program could be carried out with the use of force if necessary.
As reported by CNS News earlier this month, a health-care reform bill approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee called The Affordable Health Choices Act, will fund the creation of state “intervention” teams that will carry out home visits in order to check that both children and adults have been vaccinated and also provide “provision of immunizations”.
“Home visits? What exactly is the state going to do when it sends people to “implement interventions” in private homes designed “to improve immunization coverage of children”? asks the CNS report.
There can be little doubt that many Americans will call upon their second amendment rights and resort to using force to protect themselves and their children if the government attempts to forcibly impose a mass vaccination program. This is why the assistance of military personnel may be necessary to subdue potential resistors in the event of mandatory quarantines and inoculations.
The last time the the national guard and military worked with FEMA and local law enforcement on a large scale in the United States was during Hurricane Katrina, when they aided in the confiscation of privately owned firearms of citizens, even those who lived in the high and dry areas and were unaffected by the hurricane.

Wake Up, America: Forced vaccinations, quarantine camps, health care interrogations and mandatory "decontaminations" by Mike Adams the Health Ranger

'The United States of America is devolving into medical fascism and Massachusetts is leading the way with the passage of a new bill, the "Pandemic Response Bill" 2028, reportedly just passed by the MA state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House. This bill suspends virtually all Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone "suspected" of being infected to submit to interrogations, "decontaminations" and vaccines.

Ten things you're not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine

(At least, not by anyone in authority...)

#1 - The vaccine production was "rushed" and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall...

#2 - Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

#3 - The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

#4 - Doctors still don't know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they're not testing it, either...)

#5 - Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren't responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

#6 - No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That's an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

#7 - Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don't need one! (Because it can't spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated...

#8 - Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket -- even if you don't get the jab -- because it's all paid by the taxpayers.

#9 - When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: "The number saved is far greater than the number lost." Of course, the number "saved" is entirely fictional... imaginary... and exists only in their own warped heads.

#10 - The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren't completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn't some sort of blue dye that we could tag 'em with for future reference...)The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who can't do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don't understand health.

This is not good and there is no way I would allow a child to be used as a Guinna pig. Look at what happen in the UK on this trails as reported by the London Times. Over 50% of the children developed some sort of severe side effects including neurological issues such as nightmares.

We need to keep an eye on this situation. This could become another Vietnam if this continues on this path. Could this be another playground for Russia and the US? Don't believe for a moment the Putin is our friend. See related stories below about this situation. This could prove to be very interesting in the coming months. I wonder how Obama will handle this if Chavez decides to into Colombia?

The Castration of the Strong Male Role Model on Network TV
or
Where have you gone to John Wayne???

by D Michael Waller

Where have they all gone? Men that were men on TV. What happen to the Strong Male Role Models like John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Chuck Conners and James Arness that we had when we were kids? Who decided that there was no longer a need for these role models for today's youth on network television? Who decided to castrate the strong role models into the GenderBenders that they are today???

It is funny how you don't miss something till it is gone. For the most part, it disappears gradually over time till one day you realize that it is no more. Maybe it is due to the changing times or a change in taste or style. Or maybe it is because of an agenda that we are not aware of.

When I was growing up, there were TV shows that I always looked forward to watching. Sometimes it was with my dad or with friends. Shows like Bonanza, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Rifleman, and The Untouchables. Actors like Lorne Greene, Clint Eastwood, James Arness, Chuck Conners, Robert Stack and Steve McQueen. These are the stars I remember from my earliest years. My thoughts of what a man was, on how he carried himself and the values that he had was influence from these shows. They mirrored my own father in the many ways. These Men along with our Sports Hero's like Mickey Mantle and Johnny Unitas were our role models growing up. These were the roles that we would emulate on the school grounds and in our backyards.

During the 60's we had shows like Combat with Vic Morrow, Daniel Boone with Fess Parker, Hawaii Five-O with Jack Lord, Mannix with Mike Conners. All of these were strong role models. Even today, I remember the tough as nails Jack Lord on Hawaii Five-O and and the courage of Vic Morrow, Mike Conners who never quit till the job was done and the values of Fess Parker on Daniel Boone. One thing there all had in common was an uncompromising sense of morals and values.

Which brings me to today. Who will my grandson look up to??? Who will be his John Wayne, Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood? I look at today's TV and it makes me sick to see how the lines between men and women have become blurred. It is no longer cool to be a real man in this country. No longer cool to stand up for what you believe in. No longer cool to have a sense of morals and values that may offend a minority of the public. What happen to having pride in what and who you are? What happen to being true to yourself even if it is not the popular stance.

I wonder what my father and men like him who left their blood on Normandy Beach and the beaches of Iwo Jima would think about the state of affairs with Television and Movies. I wonder how they would react to see how our moral fiber has decayed into the state that it is in.

I wonder if there would be a place for someone like John Wayne in today's world. I wonder if Bonanza and Rawhide would be boycotted by Peta. Or Gunsmoke and The Rifleman would be banned by the left for its' display of guns? Or Mannix and Hawaii Five-O would be sued by the ACLU?

Where have you gone John Wayne??? We need you to stand up for us that still believe in a way of life that we called being an American. A way of life that is now looked down upon. a way of life that isn't cool anymore, a life that is dying before our eyes.

Please Ms Hollywood, keep your male role models that are in touch with thier feminine side, who really don't know if they are gay or not, who love to iron their clothes and decorate other peoples houses,,, keep them all,,,, just let me have my heros,, I would much rather be in the company of men like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen,,,,,
,,,,,deal me in boys,,,,,, 5 card stud?,, I'll take a cold Jax, thanks,,,,,,,

The Downside of Cash for Clunkers

by D. Michael Waller

Looks like this program is coming to a halt next Monday. What a mess this has turned out to be. Seems that this wasn't thought out before hand. Let me give you my thoughts about this, the items about this program that someone forgot to think about. Or maybe they did,,

One, lets take people who have a car that is paid for, that means no payments, and put them into debt with a car loan that they can't afford. If they could afford a new car, I believe they would have already bought a car. So we now have folks living on the cusp that with any hiccups in their life will be in trouble. There is a reason they drive $1,000.00 cars. These poor folks are paying a high interest rate on these loans. Who is benefiting from this? Would it be the banking industry? It sure isn't the dealers holding worthless junk iron waiting for their checks from the government.

Two, the government is mandating that the cars be crushed. It is estimated that when the program ends, there will be 750,000 cars traded in. Now, lets take three quarters of a million inexpensive cars off the road. Now what, I'll tell you, a sharp increase in the price of low end cars. Again, the folks living on the cusp now will need to pay even more for a cheap car for work. These are the folks that couldn't take advantage of the program but will need a car sooner of later. Either way, our " not doing so well " friends get it coming or going. How is this helping them?

Three, who is benefiting from this program, lets see, how about the car industry in Japan. 6 out of 10 cars sold through the program are foreign. Toyota has a 18.9% market share at this point.
Oh, you say, what about GM? GM is now putting in a guarantee to their dealers on the Cash for Clunkers Program that if the Government doesn't pay, they will,,,, I'm sorry, but does this sound like the government bailing out the government??

Four, What is happening to all those cars that are being crushed?? Guess what, besides our cash being the number one export for the US, we are shipping our scrap iron, [ crushed cars ] to China to be fabricated into products to be sold back to us. Again, who is benefiting? China

And now that this program worked so well,,, they want to do washing machines next

Okay, lets recap here. Who is benefiting here, Japan, China, The Banking Industry, The Government, Who is getting the short end on the deal, The Dealers, the Buyers, and ALL of Us in the US because guess where are the 3 billion dollars coming from, Us!!!

Thank goodness the Car Dealers in New York State figured this out and started the revolt against this program. They realize they could make more more money on these trade-ins and not deal with the headaches of dealing with the government. Remember the problems with the Federal Website,, " We now own your computer " Geez,,, and they are coming for your washing machine next, then the toaster, then the lawn mover,,,,,,,,,

Something of Historic Proportion is Happening" by Pam Geller

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 15 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demanded and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we knew could never pay back? Why? We learned recently that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.

Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our
borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change...radical change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission.

And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and...change.. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.

Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. But, I do not think I am.

About the author via Google... Pamela "Atlas" Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently took over operation of The New York Observer as Associate Publisher. She left The Observer after the birth of her fourth child, but remained involved in various projects including American Associates, Ben Gurion University and being Senior Vice-President Strategic Planning and Performance Evaluation at The Brandeis School.

After 9/11, Atlas had the veil of oblivion violently lifted from her consciousness and immersed herself in the education and understanding of geopolitics, Islam, terror, foreign affairs and imminent threats the mainstream media and the government wouldn't cover or discuss.

Since many of you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too distant future, I thought you might be interested in this information.

IN GOD WE TRUST

Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle, was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement.

Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them."

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes. Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun and in the interim, we can make our voices heard! Let's do it!

If you disagree, don't do anything

Is there a need to be concerned with these actions in South America? There is a arms race in South America and nobody seems to be aware of it, I don't know why, American Idol isn't on at the moment.

Time for transparency on the base agreement

Monday’s meeting of the South American Union (Unasur) presidents in Quito was dominated by concerns about negotiations between the United States and Colombia to allow U.S. military personnel to use several Colombian bases. Colombian President Álvaro Uribe did not attend the meeting.
(Here is an overview of what we know about what Colombia and the United States are negotiating; it hasn’t changed much since we wrote it three weeks ago. The main change is that two more bases have been added to the list of facilities U.S. personnel can access, apparently at the Colombian government’s request. They are the army bases in Tolemaida, Tolima and Larandia, Caquetá. The basing negotiations could conclude as early as this weekend, says Colombia’s armed forces chief, Gen. Freddy Padilla.)
Some of the region’s elected leaders from the far left had hoped the declaration from the Quito meeting would condemn the basing deal. The presidents were unable to reach consensus on that, but some of the region’s more centrist leaders continued to express concern about the arrangement being discussed between Washington and Bogotá.
One of those leaders, Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, made a concrete proposal to Washington: that U.S. government representatives meet with the region’s leaders to explain the agreement and the U.S. government’s intentions. “UNASUR could invite the U.S. government to a detailed discussion regarding its relations with South America. This will be resolved through a lot of conversation, much debate, the speaking of truths. People will have to hear things they don’t like,” Lula said during the Quito meeting.
This is a perfectly reasonable proposal. A joint meeting with high U.S. government officials - or even President Obama himself, perhaps during the UN General Assembly in New York in September - is a good idea.
Such a meeting would help undo the damage done by the Obama administration’s disastrous rollout of the basing arrangement. The approach so far has combined hyper-secrecy from Washington, leaks to the Colombian media mainly from Colombian government sources, and - in a move that cannot make the Colombian government happy - leaving Colombian President Álvaro Uribe to defend the deal on his own, spending an entire week traveling throughout South America to hear each country’s concerns about the proposed U.S. military presence.
Lula’s proposed meeting also makes sense because once you get past Hugo Chávez’s hugely overheated rhetoric, it makes perfect sense for the region’s governments to be concerned about a foreign power increasing its military presence, and mission, on the continent they share. And it makes sense for this concern to grow when the foreign power does not even notify them of its intentions. The United States is creating a new capability in South America, and capabilities often get used.
While South American concerns are important, the Obama administration also needs to be far more transparent to the American people. As things stand right now, the basing agreement can go forward without any need for the U.S. Congress to act to approve it. But that doesn’t mean that we should be in the disgraceful situation of getting most of our information about the impending deal from the Colombian press.
Obviously, we don’t ask that the U.S. government reveal the content of ongoing negotiations. Talks between governments routinely happen in secret. But we need to know more about what our government’s intentions are.
Until Colombian media outlets started revealing more details about the basing plan in early July, we were under the impression that the United States and Colombia were negotiating a deal to replace a capability being lost with the exit of U.S. assets from a base in the Pacific coastal city of Manta, Ecuador. There, since 1999, approximately 200-300 U.S. military personnel and contractors worked on a mission limited strictly to counternarcotics, specifically monitoring the Eastern Pacific off the coast of South America for potential aerial and maritime drug trafficking. The U.S. presence at Manta - itself a partial substitute for Howard Air Force Base in Panama, which the U.S. military vacated in 1999 - has ceased operations and will close for good in October, as the 10-year agreement has expired and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa strongly opposes renewing it.
What we have heard about the Colombia deal, however, indicates that the new U.S. presence there will go way beyond Manta’s limited mission. It will support not just counter-narcotics, but “counter-terrorism,” a very vague term in a country in the midst of an armed conflict.
There is an urgent need for more transparency from the U.S. government. More information and responsiveness to questions would help defuse tensions in the region, and is a necessary element of a foreign policy that is accountable to the American people.
Transparency must begin with clear, specific responses to these seven rather basic questions. So far, none of them has been addressed in public.
1. How close will U.S. personnel stationed at the bases - both military and contractors - get to hostilities in Colombia? What is the risk to them?
2. How will U.S. personnel stationed at the bases be contributing to, or otherwise participating in, ongoing military operations in Colombia’s armed conflict? For example, will it be providing real-time intelligence and targeting information about guerrillas or other illegal armed groups?
3. Will activities based at these facilities be limited to Colombian territory and airspace, or will the United States insist on the right to fly over neighboring countries as well?
4. Does the U.S. government view these bases as “lily pads” that will give it the ability to carry out contingency operations anywhere in the region? If not, how is it different?
(For several years, the Defense Department has indicated its desire to establish informal, flexible basing arrangements like these in order to have a forward presence as a jumping-off point. These have been colloquially called “lily pads,” and arrangements have been made for several such facilities in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Africa. Instead of a base, widely cited defense analyst Thomas P.M. Barnett wrote this week, “Think of them as the networking equivalent of an ATM: offering some basic services but hardly constituting a bank branch. And like an ATM, these facilities are to a large degree designed to obviate the requirement of a larger, dedicated presence.” Obviously, a frog jumping off of a lily pad is jumping to somewhere else; Colombia’s neighbors see themselves as likely destinations.)
5. What is the likelihood that the administration will be asking Congress to raise or eliminate the existing “troop cap” (800 military and 600 U.S. citizen contractors) limiting U.S. involvement in Colombia within, say, 3 years? Can the Obama administration guarantee that it will not seek to increase or break the troop cap as a result of activities at the Colombian bases?
(As of June 19, the Washington Post reported last week, there were 268 U.S. military personnel and 308 U.S. citizen contractors present in Colombia. If the military presence is currently one-third of the cap and the contractor presence is half of the cap even without the bases, how close will U.S. personnel come to breaking the cap once they move into the bases?)
6. Will the physical assets stationed at the bases in Colombia be different from those that were based at Manta? Will the U.S. military be stationing the same aircraft as before? If not, how will the array of planes and equipment be different?
7. The three air force bases in the seven-base package are all located to the east of the Andes mountains from the Pacific Ocean. How will U.S. assets be able to cover the eastern Pacific drug-trafficking vector - which was the main purpose of the Manta base - without a presence on the Pacific coast? What is the likelihood that this move will actually make it easier for narcos to transship drugs through the Pacific?

Breitbart.tv » NY Welfare Families Get $140M in Stimulus Cash for School Supplies

This is becoming a joke! Today on the Glenn Beck Radio Program, - Joe Pagliarulo of WOAI in San Antonio who is filling in for Beck said in a very passionate way how there was such a run on video games, game consoles and the like that Walmart called the Welfare offices to confirm that this wasn't some kind of fraud. I am not saying that ALL of these " welfare folks " were doing this but enough of these fine folks were in the Walmarts buying these items that Walmart became concern. Concerned enough to call the state to see what is going on. What do you think?

Help me understand this one,,,, The biggest movie star in India, Shan Rukh Khan, the Indian Brad Pitt, being detained for over a hour in Newark. Now where I am having a problem is why would you detain this man and his family, a man who is loved and respected all over the world, and yes he is a Muslim, but that is not a case for being treated like this.

So, lets screw with this guy while another hundred or so Mexican Nationals come across our southern borders. Detaining this man is has stupid as Michael Savage being on the UK's Terrorist List. What the hell happen to Common Sense here??? I mean, do we need to making more enemies around the world?

NEW DELHI - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said Tuesday he will cut back on visits to the United States, especially with his family, after he was questioned by immigration officials at a New York-area airport.
Khan was taken aside at Newark's Liberty International Airport on Friday for what officials said was routine questioning. They denied he was formally detained, saying the incident lasted barely more than an hour and was prolonged only because his bag had been lost by the airline.
But the questioning set off outrage in India, where politicians, sports celebrities and film stars regularly receive VIP treatment at airports. Angry fans burned a U.S. flag and protested what they saw as ill-treatment of a beloved star, and politicians called for an investigation.
The Muslim actor was promoting his latest film, "My Name is Khan," about racial profiling after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Khan told reporters Tuesday after returning to Mumbai that the incident had been "blown out of proportion." But he said the questioning — which included requests for the names of people who could vouch for him — embarrassed him.
He said he will travel to the U.S. less frequently.
"Of course I will visit the U.S. if I have to go for my work. But I will go less often. If I have three things to do, I will club them together and go just once," he said. "And certainly, I wouldn't like to travel with my family to the U.S."
Khan, 44, appealed to fans to stop protesting.
"Let's put this behind us, think positively and move ahead," he told fans during a news conference.
Khan has acted in around 70 movies in a career spanning two decades. He has consistently topped popularity rankings in India for the past several years.

Isn't funny when your average American stands up and talks about how they are against the Health Care Program, they are called " Plants " " Un-Americans " " Paid Thugs " but what do we call these poor folks in this article??? A interesting report on Obama supporters.

The United States is moving troops, arms, and money, lots of money into Columbia. The Columbians say that this increase in the US military presence is due in part to step up the war on drugs. Our dear friend, Chavez sees this has a move on the United States to be in place to control that region of South America. Could this be another Iraq in the making?

New York Times defends Nazi Germany. We are reliving the early days of National Socialism. To know where you are going, just look back at history. We are our history, we are the product of that history. After all, Hilter and his gang got most of their ideals from American Progressives and Americans like Henry Ford. Seems that we are coming full circle on this one. Check out the blog on Eugenics below to see where the Nazis got that ideal. Don't need a road map for this, just a copy of Mein Kampf.



Economic Scene
Stimulus Thinking, and Nuance
By DAVID LEONHARDT
Published: April 1, 2009
European leaders are resisting calls for stimulus measures, but history shows that they often work.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/01/business/economy/01leonhardt.html

Geert Wilders is the leader of the Freedom Party in the Dutch Parliament. He has gone onto the world stage to alert us of the coming dangers of Islam if left unchecked. There is a point when being politically correct must stop and a renewed nationalist pride must be put back at the fore front. There is something seriously wrong when a man like Michael Savage is on a Terrorist List just to please the Islam faction in the UK.

In order for a nation to survive and prosper, there must be one language and one culture. Geert Wilders has seen the population of the Islam Nation grow to over One Million in the Netherlands and is very concern how the ruling party is caving into the Islam wants and needs at the cost of the Dutch Nation. Just like here, 97% of Americans must bend over to please the 3% on Gay Marriage.

Geert Wilders has been labeled a racist for his beliefs by Islamic Organizations all over the world. On the other hand, he has become an Advocate for Immigration reform among other things. The Nation of Islam is a threat to the United States, do not kid yourself, do your homework. Not only Islam is a concern, but our southern border is under attack. After 8 years, after 9/11, all we have to show for protecting our southern borders is 12 miles of fence and 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants in this country, on the verge of having better health care and more rights than us. What would Ronald Reagan do? I believe that he would have more fence and less immigrants.

It doesn't matter where we all came from but it does matter that we should all be Americans under the Stars and Strips, without any hyphens after American. Just red blooded Americans, One land, One Country, One Language, for the betterment of us all.

Maybe it is time for us to take our country back and put a stop to " press one for english "


Read the speech Geert Wilders would have given at the screening of Fitna in the House of Lords, had he not been banned from entering the United Kingdom.
London, Feb. 12, 2009



Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much
Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna, and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you, seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom.This is no ordinary place. This is not just one of England’s tourist attractions. This is a sacred place. This is the mother of all Parliaments, and I am deeply humbled to speak before you.
The Houses of Parliament is where Winston Churchill stood firm, and warned – all throughout the 1930’s – for the dangers looming. Most of the time he stood alone.
In 1982 President Reagan came to the House of Commons, where he did a speech very few people liked. Reagan called upon the West to reject communism and defend freedom. He introduced a phrase: ‘evil empire’. Reagan’s speech stands out as a clarion call to preserve our liberties. I quote: If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.
What Reagan meant is that you cannot run away from history, you cannot escape the dangers of ideologies that are out to destroy you. Denial is no option.
Communism was indeed left on the ash heap of history, just as Reagan predicted in his speech in the House of Commons. He lived to see the Berlin Wall coming down, just as Churchill witnessed the implosion of national-socialism.
Today, I come before you to warn of another great threat. It is called Islam. It poses as a religion, but its goals are very worldly: world domination, holy war, sharia law, the end of the separation of church and state, the end of democracy. It is not a religion, it is a political ideology. It demands your respect, but has no respect for you.
There might be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam will never change, because it is build on two rocks that are forever, two fundamental beliefs that will never change, and will never go away. First, there is Quran, Allah’s personal word, uncreated, forever, with orders that need to be fulfilled regardless of place or time. And second, there is al-insal al-kamil, the perfect man, Muhammad the role model, whose deeds are to be imitated by all Muslims. And since Muhammad was a warlord and a conqueror we know what to expect.Islam means submission, so there cannot be any mistake about it’s goal. That’s a given. The question is whether the British people, with its glorious past, is longing for that submission.
We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible speed. The United Kingdom has seen a rapid growth of the number of Muslims. Over the last ten years, the Muslim population has grown ten times as fast as the rest of society. This has put an enormous pressure on society. Thanks to British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill, the English now have taken the path of least resistance. They give up. They give in.
Thank you very much for letting me into the country. I received a letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, kindly disinviting me. I would threaten community relations, and therefore public security in the UK, the letter stated. For a moment I feared that I would be refused entrance. But I was confident the British government would never sacrifice free speech because of fear of Islam. Britannia rules the waves, and Islam will never rule Britain, so I was confident the Border Agency would let me through. And after all, you have invited stranger creatures than me. Two years ago the House of Commons welcomed Mahmoud Suliman Ahmed Abu Rideh, linked to Al Qaeda. He was invited to Westminster by Lord Ahmed, who met him at Regent’s Park mosque three weeks before. Mr. Rideh, suspected of being a money man for terror groups, was given a SECURITY sticker for his Parliamentary visit.
Well, if you let in this man, than an elected politician from a fellow EU country surely is welcome here too. By letting me speak today you show that Mr Churchill’s spirit is still very much alive. And you prove that the European Union truly is working; the free movement of persons is still one of the pillars of the European project.
But there is still much work to be done. Britain seems to have become a country ruled by fear. A country where civil servants cancel Christmas celebrations to please Muslims. A country where Sharia Courts are part of the legal system. A country where Islamic organizations asked to stop the commemoration of the Holocaust. A country where a primary school cancels a Christmas nativity play because it interfered with an Islamic festival. A country where a school removes the words Christmas and Easter from their calendar so as not to offend Muslims. A country where a teacher punishes two students for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class. A country where elected members of a town council are told not to eat during daylight hours in town hall meetings during the Ramadan. A country that excels in its hatred of Israel, still the only democracy in the Middle-East. A country whose capitol is becoming ‘Londonistan’.
I would not qualify myself as a free man. Four and a half years ago I lost my freedom. I am under guard permanently, courtesy to those who prefer violence to debate. But for the leftist fan club of islam, that is not enough. They started a legal procedure against me. Three weeks ago the Amsterdam Court of Appeal ordered my criminal prosecution for making ‘Fitna’ and for my views on Islam. I committed what George Orwell called a ‘thought crime’.
You might have seen my name on Fitna’s credit role, but I am not really responsible for that movie. It was made for me. It was actually produced by Muslim extremists, the Quran and Islam itself. If Fitna is considered ‘hate speech’, then how would the Court qualify the Quran, with all it’s calls for violence, and hatred against women and Jews? Mr. Churchill himself compared the Quran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Well, I did exactly the same, and that is what they are prosecuting me for.
I wonder if the UK ever put Mr. Churchill on trial.
The Court’s decision and the letter I received form the Secretary of State for the Home Department are two major victories for all those who detest freedom of speech. They are doing Islam’s dirty work. Sharia by proxy. The differences between Saudi-Arabia and Jordan on one hand and Holland and Britain are blurring. Europe is now on the fast track of becoming Eurabia. That is apparently the price we have to pay for the project of mass immigration, and the multicultural project.
Ladies and gentlemen, the dearest of our many freedoms is under attack. In Europe, freedom of speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural component of our existence is now something we again have to fight for. That is what is at stake. Whether or not I end up in jail is not the most pressing issue. The question is: Will free speech be put behind bars?
We have to defend freedom of speech.
For the generation of my parents the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom. When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny. Millions of my country men listened to it, illegally. The words ‘This Is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon. If only the British and Canadian and American soldiers were here.
What will be transmitted forty years from now? Will it still be ‘This Is London’? Or will it be ‘this is Londonistan’? Will it bring us hope, or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina? Will Britain offer submission or perseverance? Freedom or slavery?
The choice is ours.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We will never apologize for being free. We will never give in. We will never surrender.
Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.
Thank you very much.

The Bankruptcy of The United States


United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303


Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House:

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress areofficial trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankruptentity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forthhopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is acoroner's report that will lead to our demise.

It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government hasbeen dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1,Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt andinsolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - JointResolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clausedissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the officialcapacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, andDepartments and is further evidence that the United States FederalGovernment exists today in name only.

The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the InternationalBankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the InternationalMonetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are nowoperating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers.With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, thereceivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for theUnited States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being anestablished Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. Thisact was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Officeof the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the InternationalMonetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part:"The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representingthe United States."

Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of theunited states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only goldor silver coins can be "money" in America. Since gold and silver coinagewere heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored inbanks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. People tradedtheir coupons as money, or "currency." Currency is not money, but a moneysubstitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent ingold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises,and are not "money." A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of thefederal United States government, not "money?' The federal United Statesgovernment and the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized bythe Constitution for the united states of America to issue currency of anykind, but only lawful money, -gold and silver coin. It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money andpaper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating moneysubstitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer haveany "money." Most Americans have not been paid any "money" for a very longtime, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feelbroke? Now, do you understand why you are "bankrupt," along with the rest ofthe country?

Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closedaccount. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt throughinflation (devaluation of currency). when ever there is an increase of thesupply of a money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increasein the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.

Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governmentsinflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supplyand movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimitedsupply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNsare nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities(T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank. There is a fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" adebt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold,silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt.You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debtwith a currency that has no backing in value or substance. No contract inCommon law is valid unless it involves an exchange of "good & valuableconsideration." Un-payable debt transfers power and control to the sovereignpower structure that has no interest in money, law, equity or justicebecause they have so much wealth already.

Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of centralbanking, they have controlled the fates of nations.

The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles ofsovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact,the international bankers used a "Canon Law Trust" as their model, addingstock and naming it a "Joint Stock Trust." The U.S. Congress had passed alaw making it illegal for any legal "person" to duplicate a "Joint StockTrust" in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post-facto (to 1870),although post-facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitution. [1:9:3] The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate anddistinct from the federal United States government. The Federal Reserve is amaritime lender, and/or maritime insurance underwriter to the federal UnitedStates operating exclusively under Admiralty/Maritime law. The lender orunderwriter bears the risks, and the Maritime law compelling specificperformance in paying the interest, or premiums are the same.

Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as asecurity without taking possession of it.) as security by the lender orunderwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on thedebt was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal ReserveAct for ever paying the principle.

Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, freeand clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913)"Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the Board ofGovernors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders) heldlegal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a"beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, thefederal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties,assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, tothe Federal Reserve System.

In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal UnitedStates corporation all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like anyother debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateraland security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since thefederal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the privateproperty of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral againstthe un-payable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federalterritories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofitorganizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already beentransferred as payment to the international bankers.

Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudalroots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had norights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are thetenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in theguise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one masterfor another.

This has been going on for over eighty years without the "informedknowledge" of the American people, without a voice protesting loud enough.Now it's easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt.

Why don't more people own their properties outright?

Why are 90% of Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no assetsafter all debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like youare working harder and harder and getting less and less?

We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is apainful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, preciousliberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives inWashington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States isbankrupt. Our children will inherit this un-payable debt, and the tyranny toenforce paying it.

America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financialcredit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is anundeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the mostcorrupt order!

Wake up America! Take backyour Country."

Big Brother in the Waiting Room

Peter R. Breggin, M.D " Live Like an American!”

Radio Report No. 29 on the Savage NationAugust 10, 2009

I went to a private medical clinic a few days ago, sat down in the waiting room, and found myself in a state of the art home theater with a flat screen TV on the wall and very comfy chairs neatly arranged for good viewing. CNN’s medical expert Sanjay Gupta was talking to me in his unctuous way about Adult ADHD. Then a smooth lady psychiatrist from Harvard told us about the symptoms of Adult ADHD—things like having trouble concentrating, a short attention span, and procrastinating. These of course are the ways most people behave when they don’t want to do what they are doing.

The “balanced” presentation ended up flashing vivid pictures of pill bottles. First came a batch of three: Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall. Brand names were mentioned. But no one came on screen to say that these are highly addictive chemicals classified among the most dangerous narcotics by the DEA. Never mind they make young people prone to cocaine abuse in later years, cause sudden cardiac death in young people, and stunt growth. Never mind that they have no proven benefits beyond suppressing all spontaneous behavior for a few weeks. Then they flashed a bottle of Strattera on the screen and called it a “non-stimulant” for the treatment of ADHD, when it’s one of the more stimulating drugs around town. Not to mention it has a black box warning about causing suicide.

It used to be that the pharmaceutical company salespersons had to wait patiently beside us in the waiting room before getting to the doctors. Or they had to buy lunch for the whole clinic. Now they pop into the office, go to the digital video hanging on the wall, and insert a new promotional DVD. The drug ads get into the heads of the patients before they even see their doctors.

How do they get away with touting these drugs to the public without the required and ethically necessary warnings? Where are the FDA watchdogs when you need them? Where they usually are—peaking out of the backside pants pocket of the drug companies. Any why are the drug companies targeting young adults right now? I think it’s because “young adults” are getting ready to go back to college where the illegal use of these same drugs is pandemic. Stimulant drugs enforce compulsivity and cause insomnia, so they help students cram all night for tests. Recreationally, students mix these drugs with alcohol, making a dangerous cocktail of uppers and downers. These waiting room ads with their lists of ADHD symptoms prime the youngsters to say the right thing moments later in the doctor’s office—to say the right that will get them a prescription for these dangerous drugs, whether for their own use, or for sharing or selling.

This sounds a little like 1984—Big Brother propaganda in the waiting room—but it’s happening in the doctors’ offices around the country—thousands of them. Imagine what it will be like under socialized medicine when Barak Obama looks at us from the screen and explains how we’ve got to start rationing our medical care. He will urge old guys like me not to use up so many medical resources. Minutes before we see the doctor, he will discourage from asking for expensive treatments. Progressives view our aging citizens the way they view our supposedly aging American economy—as a burden on the rest of humanity. I’d like to see a waiting room rebellion—patient’s standing up to demand good old-fashioned TV like the Fox News Channel or even CNN, and maybe a remote to change the stations when they want.

Meanwhile, it’s not just the waiting room that’s going digital. It’s our private medical records under national health care. Right now around the country people are being forced by their state governments to take psychiatric drugs. It’s called outpatient commitment. Demoralized patients call me asking how they can stop their state officials from coming into their homes to shoot them up with long-lasting mind-destroying antipsychotic drugs. There’s even an underground railroad for helping these poor souls to escape to new places to live.

Under socialized medicine, even more people be forced to take treatments they don’t want. Enforced preventative treatment fits the public health aims of socialized medicine. A shy boy or girl will be diagnosed as pre-schizophrenic and forced to take ruinous antipsychotic drugs. There’s already talk of this in the scientific literature. Eventually people may be forced to take prescribed treatments for their cholesterol, blood pressure, or diabetes.

Meanwhile, if you’re labeled with a stigmatizing diagnosis or forced to take treatment, there will be no place to escape under universal health care with universal record keeping. You will drag your medical record behind you like a digital ball and chain. So, let’s keep the government out of medicine and the pharmaceutical companies out of our waiting rooms.

That brings me as always to my refrain to my weekly radio reports on Savage Nation:
Protect freedom. Take responsibility at all time. Express gratitude for all your gifts and opportunities. Become a source of love.This is psychiatrist Peter Breggin urging you to “Live Like an American!” You can listen to and download the transcripts for all of my Savage Nation radio reports at www.breggin.com.
