OMG: people really ARE disappearing all across America! - UPDATE

KIDNAPPED MARINE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST GOVERNMENT TYRANNY
  • Hundreds of thousands of people across the United States have already been picked up

  • 20,000 in Virginia

  • 20 people disappeared in Brandon Raub's own county before August was even over yet!
What the "F" is going on here???

UPDATE:

New Obama Executive Order Will Nationalize Demonization Of US Veterans As Mentally Ill
This kind of control over citizens by government was practiced by Mao in China, Communist Russia and Nazi-controlled Germany. As following in the footsteps of previous dictators, Obama is proving himself to be the next in a dangerous line of Fascist controllers who will imprison his own military if need be to accomplish his goals set forth for him by the global Elite.
Don't forget: Some of our military would NOT fire on U.S. civilians even if given the order...and some would. Which group is this Executive Order aimed at?

Energy wake-up call

Excerpts from OUR ENERGY FUTURE by Jeffrey Carter [via InstaPundit]
At the Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business Management Conference Friday, I listened to a panel discussion on energy. It was interesting, primarily because the two panelists didn’t mince words. They offered up some interesting stats. . .
  • Running an oil company isn’t cheap and has a lot of fixed costs.

  • Energy prices aren’t going lower in the long run and instead of battery powered cars and trucks we should figure out how to make uranium powered cars and trucks.

  • Research into green energy isn’t a total waste of money or time since fossil fuels will eventually be gone. However, government subsidies and government money pouring into research seems ill spent.

  • Natural gas is a good alternative, but we need to figure out how to develop an ecosystem so that it becomes easy for companies to switch. Natural gas has more energy density than diesel fuel.

  • We don’t need CAFE standards to stimulate car companies to create better cars. Economic incentives create them. There is no secret car that gets 90 MPG that car companies are withholding from the market. If they had it, you could buy it on a lot.

  • Give up on high speed rail. It’s not going to be possible under the current political environment, or economic environment.
  • The US will squander much of it’s storehouse of current energy due to bad policy.

  • Things like the Chevy Volt in the current technological environment are not efficient. They are science experiments.
As an angel investor, I don’t see me making investments in green energy that will take years to come to fruition. However, as an angel investor I can make investments into companies like Power2Switch that are in the energy sector, but not in the research and development of it.

We The Tweeple

Have you noticed that it is nearly impossible to email your Congressman these days? You have to go through web forms, enter personal information, and on and on to send an email. If you want to send a simple message, there are faster ways, and ones that the Congressmen actually read: Facebook Wall Posts and Twitter. Most of you are already familiar with Facebook Wall Posts, so we will not dwell on that, except to say that you may have to "friend" or "like" the Congressman or Senator to be able to post on their wall.

Twitter, for a lot of people, is an enigma. It is strange, has all these "#" signs and people seem to talk in code. Well, we are here to decode it for you so you can message your Congressmen and Senators directly.

First, you need a Twitter account. Go to http://twitter.com and fill out the form on the right of the page with your name, email, and password, to get an account. When you are filling out the forms, let your twitter id be public rather than private. This is important, because when you do tweet your Congressman and Senators, your tweets will be available for the world to see. If people search for your Congressman, they will see how many people are telling them what they want to happen in government. If you want to have a private account for family and friends, then set up a different account for that purpose.

So now I have an account, but what is a "tweet" anyway? Well, it is a small snippet of information that is only 140 characters or less. So, it has to be a short sentence of thought. It seems crazy that people can communicate in such small pieces of information but it really works. It is similar to sending text messages from your phone. However, rather than sending them to one particular person privately, you are allowing the world to see them.

When you jump into Twitter, it is like jumping into a stream or river of information. There is a lot of noise flowing around you and, if you listen hard, you can hear a particular noise or pattern of noise. Just like if you are in the woods by a river, if you listen hard, you might notice there is a deer nearby, drinking from the river.

To "hear" a particular sound on Twitter, people use "hashtags," which are words with the pound symbol before them. Here are a few examples:

#tpp - Tea Party Patriots

#toct - Top Conservatives on Twitter (which helped launch the Tea Party movement)

#sgp - Smart Girl Politics (which helped launch the Tea Party movement)

#TeaParty - generic for Tea Party followers

#stopthebleeding - Tea Party Patriots' hashtag for our Passion to Action plan this week, to get Congress to stop the out of control overspending in DC.

If you want to send a message to a particular person, like your Congressman or a Senator, you can use the @ symbol, followed by the username (with no spaces between the @ and username), to send a message directly to that person. So, if you want to tell Speaker Bohener and Senator Reid to stop the out of control spending, you would type @speakerboehner and then the message you want to send. If you want to tell Jenny Beth something directly, you would type @jennybethm and type the message to her.

Now that you understand a little about tweets, hashtags, and how to get a person's attention, let's get started tweeting. You can tweet directly through the Twitter interface or through other programs. For simplicity's sake, we will have you tweet directly through Twitter. So, go to twitter.com and you will see a spot to enter your tweet right under the words "What's Happening?" We want to focus on out of control federal spending this week, so that is what our tweets are going to focus on. Here are some examples you can type:

@mikeross It's time to #stopthebleeding. Cut spending now. No debt increase. No tax increase. It's the spending, stupid. #stopthebleeding. Time for emergency action. #stopthebleeding cut the spending now. Vote no on debt increase.

@PresidentObama eat YOUR peas - #stopthebleeding and cut the spending. Quit spending our future away.Doctors know first thing for trauma patients is to #stopthebleeding. Congress it is time to cut spending now. Vote no on debt increase and no on tax increase.

No more pledges. No more promises. Get your act together now. Cut the spending #stopthebleeding.

@PresidentObama It is not time to rip off the band-aid. It IS time #stopthebleeding. Quit putting America in the red and #stopthebleeding. How to bring jobs back: #stopthebleeding - cut spending.

That is all you have to do to tweet. If you want to go a step further and follow conversations, we are going to show you with the simplest tools. Go to: http://search.twitter.com and search for #stopthebleeding and press Search. Next, you can see all the tweets that have used #stopthebleeding. You can reply to people or simply retweet their posts. Replying is like talking to them. Retweet is like saying you like what they said and want others to see it.

To reply, use the @ symbol again or click the Reply button below the tweet you like. A box will come up that you can use to type your reply message in. Type what you want to say and press Tweet. To "retweet" or repeat what someone else has said, you will use the abbreviation RT (for retweet). You can type RT and copy and paste everything that was said or you can simply press the Retweet button below the tweet you like. After clicking that button, you press Retweet.

So, that is how you get started. Let's make sure Congress knows we want them to #stopthebleeding NOW.

If you want more information about how to use Twitter, you can read Jenny Beth Martin's Twitter for Dummies Part 1 and Part 2.

Government Spending Affects Gross Domestic Product

We have tried spending a lot of money to jumpstart the economy, and it has failed. Now we need to cut spending and lift the uncertainty paralyzing economic activity. That approach will not just be more fiscally responsible. It will also empower individuals and entrepreneurs, and they are the only ones who can bring on a real recovery...

Coincidence???

Not on your life. Think: "Government Schools."
A groundbreaking multi-year survey of 28,000 students attending 85 U.S. colleges and universities by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (www.isi.org) found that American institutions of higher learning are not providing students even basic instruction on American history, economics and government -- probably not even enough for them to make informed decisions at the ballot box.

When governments cause porn...

Do you agree?
Pornography and governments have an on-again-off-again relationship. Sometimes the government ignores porn and a decade will pass without any new laws regulating it. Other times governments clamp down on porn and pretty much make it illegal in any form. Right now (in 2011) we are in a period of leniency towards porn, but its time is nearly up. The reason is this: right now governments are failing to defend intellectual property and copyrights. This creates a situation in which there is so much file-sharing going on world-wide that the only way to make a living producing photos is to make porn. Small-time artists who make tasteful nudes cannot sell enough to make up for the huge losses they suffer from file-sharing. By contrast, pornographers motivated solely to make money actually depend on low production values to generate profits. It's when the only nudes around are these sordid, sadistic, and seedy kinds of porn that people start feeling they've had enough and governments start outlawing porn.

Warning: NO PORN...but there IS Adult Content.

ZOWIE!

CommieBlaster.com - EXPOSING COMMUNISTS IN U.S. GOV'T.

Why dontcha tell us what you really think!

Note to readers:

When I was 12 years old, I stated that I wanted to become a lawyer when I grew up so I could fight communism. At fourteen, I checked out
Das Kapital by Karl Marx (English version, of course) from the library. At fifteen, a friend introduced me to Ayn Rand...

While I never became a lawyer, I've always stayed on the side supporting capitalism and free markets because anything else goes completely against human nature and has only led to poverty and to tyranny.

Hugh Hewitt: Memo to the House GOP

This is a great post and extremely important (with some advice for the rest of us, too): Arrogance toppled Pelosi. The opposite of arrogance is accessibility and openness...

Democracy? Hell no!

The word "Democracy" does NOT appear in The Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution, nor does it appear in any of the constitutions of the 50 states! The Founders did everything they could to keep us from having a Democracy.

James Madison (known as "The Father of the Constitution"):
Democracy is the most vile form of government... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Source
WATCH: 08:30 - what happened to Rome is now happening to us!

How to Get the Corporate Money Out of Politics Once and for All

"While well intentioned people want to know how to get business out of politics, the answer is quite simple. It begins with getting politicians out of business...the more liberals champion regulation, the more corporate money will control politics-- and they will only have themselves to blame for it."
Corporate money plays a big role in politics. And that is the way it will always be until we change the reason why it plays such a big role. Because the problem has been misidentified. The problem is not corporate money. The problem is government...

"Protecting the Force: Lessons From Fort Hood" never mentions Islamist terror

There are two basic problems with the grotesque non-report on the Islamist- terror massacre at Fort Hood (released by the Defense Department yesterday):

* It's not about what happened at Fort Hood.

* It avoids entirely the issue of why it happened.

Rarely in the course of human events has a report issued by any government agency been so cowardly and delusional. It's so inept, it doesn't even rise to cover-up level.
Hood massacre report gutless and shameful

Senator Evan Bayh warns President Barack Obama

America is on an unsustainable fiscal path that threatens our future. Changing course is imperative, and Democrats should lead the way.
Specifics:
Any serious effort to control the deficit must begin with spending restraint. Efficiency and frugality, common virtues in the private sector, must be incorporated into government. Congress should enact health-care reform that actually lowers the deficit. For the next fiscal year, assuming the economy has gathered sufficient momentum, we should freeze domestic discretionary spending, limit increases in defense spending to the rate of inflation, forgo pay raises for federal workers, and institute a federal hiring freeze.
The danger:
...if we wait for the markets to force corrective action, the danger to our economy will be greater and the correction more painful.

Spending restraint will not come easily to the Democratic Party. Pent-up demand for investment in education, health care and the environment is understandable after the Bush years. But long-term progressive government can't be built on a foundation of debt and deficits. We cannot indefinitely share with the less-fortunate resources we do not possess. Ultimately, a growing economy with increased revenues and a stable national balance sheet are the best guarantors of social progress.
The solution:
The choice is clear. We can take the path of least resistance and ignore the impending day of reckoning. Or we can do what is necessary to right the fiscal ship of state and lay a foundation for prudent, progressive government for a generation.

I believe Barack Obama will choose the responsible course. If he does, he will find kindred spirits in our party prepared to help.
Implied: Or Else.

Less tax money coming in, but Obama administration going on a big spending spree...with YOUR MONEY!

AP Reports:
The recession is starving the government of tax revenue, just as the president and Congress are piling a major expansion of health care and other programs on the nation's plate and struggling to find money to pay the tab.

The Government Won’t Let You Succeed

by Vladimir Val Cymbal
Tuesday, June 2, 2009

A man I know lost his job due to outsourcing. After a long time of not being able to find a new job he decided to cash in his retirement and go into business. Seeing that governments are pushing echo friendly enterprises he decided not to fight the trend and engage in some form of a business that won’t get caught up in government restrictions.

He first thought about starting an organic farm, growing organic vegetables, fruits, and raising range chickens. So he started looking for some farm land. He found plenty for sales but when he inspected the properties they were just dried up barren land. So he enquired as to what it would take to irrigate it. He found out that only an act of God could do that. The government won’t let him have the water he needs because it appears that a non-indigenous fish is more important then providing organic food for people, frustrating.

Ok, so he decided to go into the power business and build a wind farm. He put together a business plan with lots of wind mills generating electricity. He went and got a bunch of permits and applied for a loan. After running all over the state getting permits and a loan promise from the bank the EPA turned him down. Why, because the blades of the wind mills might get in the way of various birds and even kill them.

Ok, determined to go into some kind of a business he decide to manufacture solar panels and even maybe set up a field of solar panels generating electricity. After much investigation and planning he ran into another brick wall put up by the government. To make solar panels you need silicone. Well the EPA doesn’t want silicone manufactured in the USA. He found out that most (if not all) solar panels will be manufactured in China and India.

Is our government as stupid as human waste or are they determined to reduce America to third world nation? These are the only two alternatives. Our economy is being pummeled by OPC and the government says we are too dependent on foreign oil. At the same time our government won’t let us drill domestic sources (of which we have plenty) for oil and natural gas. On top of that our government puts up obstacles to generate our energy needs in other ways. Our government just does not want the people to be prosperous. We can’t produce the energy we need nor grow the crops to feed us even when we try to go along with all government’s mandates.

Our government is determined to rob us of all our own initiative and ability of self reliance. If we the people allow this to continue we will be totally dependent a totalitarian government. We will be in a huge concentration camp doing the biding of big brother. The only thing we citizens can do is to replace the scoundrels running this country with those who will take the roll of governing for the people and not against them. We all need to get more involved in vetting possible candidates and then making sure the right people get elected.
