We The People must support and protect our soldiers in harms way!  What the hell is Obama doing to our military?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>American Commanders in Afghanistan are begging Obama for URGENT troops and support.</p>
<p>Now the question is why isn’t Obama helping our military to win the war?</p>
<p>Let me ask you some questions that might shed some light on this question:</p>
<ol>
<li>Who is it that supported a bill to let unsuccessful abortion babies die crying in either trash cans or on cold stainless steel tables in clinics and hospitals?  Barack Obama</li>
<li>Whose Administration is pushing for a “public option” where the seniors do not get the full care they get now so that they can live longer?  Obama Administration</li>
<li>Whose Administration is it that is going to “help” the elderly decide if they should die or not? Obama’s</li>
<li>Whose Administration doesn’t seem to care about human life?  Obama’s</li>
<li>Who is it that said that he is going to wait a &#8220;few weeks&#8221; to make a decision on whether to send more help and support to the war effort?  Obama.</li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000"><em>Whose Administration has classified, <span style="text-decoration: underline">in written reports</span>, all returning soldiers as potential “domestic terrorists”?  Barack Obama Administration</em></span></li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Now let me ask you this:  If you had a hundred thousand of the world’s best warriors, who wish to protect and defend Americans, our freedom, our liberty and our Constitution from ALL enemies both foreign and domestic and you wanted to tear apart the Constitution in favor of a green “hybrid” of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism, wouldn’t it be just dandy to let the mounting Taliban forces &#8216;over take&#8217; our hero soldiers in Afghanistan rather than having  to deal with them over here, when they have sworn to protect our Constitution?   Isn’t this a question that should be asked?</p>
<p> If Obama lets our boys and girls, sons and daughters get killed over there by our Caliphate enemies , without a plan and the support they need to win and be more safe, I don’t know about you, but I am going to be even more upset (can I say pissed off?) than I am already for what he and Congress have done and are doing to our country!   We The People must support and protect our soldiers in harms way!  What the hell is Obama doing to our military and our people?  What is the end game?  It sure isn&#8217;t ours people.  We need to get involved, our public tyrants have done enough damage to our economy, our freedom, our liberty our rights and now it looks like they might see to it that our heroes are knocked off the &#8220;domestic terrorist&#8221; list.</p>
<p>You know something, it is an honor to be on that list.  It means that you support freedom, the Constitution and the rule of law (as written therein by the INDIVIDUAL authority of The People, for The People, by The People.  The authority each of us has been given by our creator and so that of which no mere Government has the right or the authority to take away from us individually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>September 2, 2009 4:00 AM</p>
<h3>Grueling war, promises of peace, new attack — are we about to repeat this tired cycle?</h3>
<p>By Victor Davis Hanson</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>B</strong>y 1930 Verdun had been transmogrified almost into a dirty word in French schools. Throughout the late 1920s, the First World War was increasingly reinterpreted in the West as a futile bloodletting. International “Merchants of Death” and greedy capitalists, not the Kaiser’s aggressive Prussian militarism, were now seen as the true causes of that recent horrific war. A punitive Versailles Treaty — and not the failure to invade, occupy, democratize, monitor, and transform a defeated Germany — was seen as the real mistake on the part of the victors.Britain and France all but disarmed. The Maginot defensive line, England’s island status, the new and welcomed art of appeasement (originally, lest we forget, a suitably liberal and humane idea), growing socialist movements, the League of Nations, and a new pacifism were all seen as substitutes for Neanderthal notions like deterrence and military preparedness. Perpetual peace was supposed to follow — and not another war with Germany a mere 20 years after the last one. Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, and the rest begged to differ.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>After the Second World War, the United Kingdom and the United States once again disarmed at an astonishing rate. By June 1950, even tiny Communist North Korea had access to better tanks and jets than were available to nearby American occupation troops in Japan. Only the threat of a nuclear response kept Stalin’s divisions from walking into postwar Western Europe — mostly disarmed despite efforts to forge a conventional NATO deterrent.</p>
<p>Louis Johnson, briefly Truman’s secretary of defense, had sought to close down the Marine Corps altogether and dismantle as many army divisions as he could — all thought to be superfluous in the new postwar age of strategic air power and nuclear weapons following the defeat of the Axis powers. Admirals were up in arms over massive cancellations of shipbuilding and the mothballing of their fleets.</p>
<p>Then came the Communist-inspired effort to topple Greece and Turkey, the Communist takeover of China, the war in Korea, the brutal Soviet suppression of liberation movements in Eastern Europe, and the massive expansion of the Soviet Union’s conventional and nuclear forces. Only the rearming of the United States in the early 1950s, along with the new policy of containment and foreign aid, stopped the Soviet advance and saved millions from Communist takeovers.</p>
<p>By the mid-1970s the United States was weary again. Vietnam had nearly wrecked the American military and had sent millions into the streets at home. Accommodation and détente — not the rollback of Communism — were the preferred way of dealing with an ascendant, but now supposedly more moderate, Soviet Union.</p>
<p>After the Nixon years and Watergate, the evangelical Jimmy Carter called for defense reductions and an end to our “inordinate” fear of Communism. He put confidence instead in the United Nations, good will among men, and a new emphasis on global human rights, rather than, yet again, reactionary deterrence.</p>
<p>But after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Communist intrusions into Central America, the rise of radical Islam, and the takeover of the American embassy in Tehran, Carter ended his presidency in disillusionment about the efficacy of the United Nations, and about the supposedly benign intentions of the Soviet Union and radical Islam.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Ronald Reagan was considered a cretin for once again massively rearming and waging an ideological war against the “evil empire” created by the Soviet Union, as well as for engaging in provocative acts like bombing Libya and invading Grenada. Reagan spent eight years enlarging all branches of the military, creating new strategic weapons, and opposing Soviet adventurism almost anywhere it was identified. Soon after he left office the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War ended.</p>
<p>George Bush continued these policies during the four years of his administration, but then, as if on cue, Bill Clinton reversed course and announced a “peace dividend.” He reduced the number of army and marine divisions and of air wings. The military shrunk radically in size. New weapons programs were put on hold. We settled into the 1990s prosperity of the dot-com boom. The talk was all about twentysomething college dropouts making millions in ground-floor stock options by brainstorming for brilliant new concerns like AskJeeves or America Online. Little Silicon Valleys were going to sprout up everywhere.</p>
<p>By 1999 Americans were focused on whether their president should be merely censured or impeached for engaging in sex acts with a White House intern in the Oval Office. Occasional radical Islamic attacks such as the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the murder of U.S. servicemen in their Khobar Towers barracks in Saudi Arabia in 1996, the destruction of three of our East African embassies in 1998, and the assault on the U.S.S. <em>Cole</em> in 2000 were all considered police matters that did not warrant a full-fledged military response. It was the global American hegemony and support for Zionist Israel, not existential hatred for Western freedom and liberality, that provoked these outbursts from an exasperated radical Islam.</p>
<p>Then came 9/11, and the belated catch-up inevitably followed. A new Department of Homeland Security was created with bipartisan support. Both houses of Congress passed the Patriot Act. A majority of Democratic senators voted with the Republicans to authorize two wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq. President Bush enlarged the defense budget. In the dark days after 9/11, Americans praised the FBI, CIA, and armed forces for keeping us safe.</p>
<p>Indeed, for the next eight years there was no repetition of the September 11 massacres, despite terrible suicide bombings abroad. For all the tragedy of the occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq, both the Taliban and Saddam Hussein were removed, and ensuing constitutional democracies continued to survive. Tens of thousands of al-Qaeda terrorists flocked to Iraq and were killed there. Their leadership remains attrited and scattered in the wilderness of Waziristan. Dozens of terrorist plots in America were broken up while still in the planning stages. The message went out that if another American city were to be attacked, an unpredictable but angry United States would go after any nation that had supported, housed, or subsidized the terrorists, even if only tangentially.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Xerxes wanted Greece (America via absolute power). Greece was a historical marvel, a center of art, sculpture, architecture, commerce, and a former world-ruling empire. Just as all good Democrats and Republicans think today, Xerxes (Obama and the Owners of The Federal Reserve "System") thought the best way to get his hands on all those goodies in Greece (America) was to steal (tax) them from their rightful owners.

Some in Greece (Americans) weren’t sure if the battle was coming and wanted to live in denial. They didn’t take steps to prepare a defense for their country for an army of the Persian size. 

Eventually the Greeks (Americans) came to know that the Persians were coming, but they were not prepared and felt that they were only left with “negotiating and accommodating” their (Congressional) enemies, as the problem was that they had very little time to prepare.

A Spartan General and King named Leonidas took 300 fighting men and placed them and himself between Persia’s 600,000 advancing troops and the area where the larger Greek army was formulating a defense. That initial battle would be 300 men against 600,000. The odds didn’t look promising.

Karl<strong>.  </strong>I have written, in The Liberty Tree Lantern and in various Internet forums, about the 300 and the battle at </span><span style="color: black;font-family: Georgia">Thermopylae</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;color: black;font-family: Georgia">.  </span><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">I have forecasted for years that we Americans would be given no choice but to go to war; a combination Civil / Re-Revolutionary War, in support of the very word of LAW as written <strong>word for word</strong>, in the Constitution, to the very spirit and intent as it WAS meant, per DIRECT writings of our Founding Fathers, before it was disparaged by attorneys, the U.S. Congress, The Supreme Court and various Administrations through decades of contempt, which is the very reason and foundational basis for our current financial crisis and economic collapse.  </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">The U.S. Congress / Government will give us no choice, but to war, because they have NO CHOICE but to tax us at least 80% to as much as 90% of our earnings to pay for <strong>Socialist Security and Medicare ALONE</strong>, which is $90 TRILLION Dollars in UNFUNDED liabilities, over the infinite horizon, ALONE, according to The Washington Times.  This is in ADDITION to all the bailouts, TARP, TALF, BARF, <strong>Communist / Socialist</strong>porkulus program spending package(<strong>s) </strong>etc, etc, etc…  By the time Congress gets done with us taxpayers we taxpayers will owe far in excess of $100,000,000,000,000.00 Dollars, none of which we personally spent on anything We wanted or needed.   Why did we let the mass behavior modification of our minds, by The Trilateral Commission, public schools (multiculturalism, OVER tolerance, feminism and lack of American history and Freedom/Liberty education) to beguile us into letting any damn Government from “taking care” of everything for us and then some of us believing that these idiots know how to run our lives and spend our earnings better, for us, than we do ourselves?  What the heck was a matter with us?  This is all our own faults for being so lazy and letting our minds get so “modified” brainwashed, especially away from God.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Since none of us can live on only 10% &#8211; 20% of our earnings, there will be NO CHOICE but to go to war to protect ourselves from:</span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #800000"><span style="text-decoration: underline">And Now Here&#8217;s The (True) Story:</span></span></span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">2,500 years ago a Persian Emperor named Xerxes (You might recall his name as Obama) roamed his part of the earth battling, conquering, and doing general </span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;font-family: Georgia">emperor-like</span></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small"> things (such as Executive Orders); to the armies and countries that got in his way. Xerxes thought his little Persian (Federal Reserve) empire should stretch far outside its home territory, the area we know as Iran (Washington D.C.) today.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Xerxes created a fierce fighting force of 600,000 well-trained men. It was a really bad &#8220;pit bull&#8221; troop. The kind of troop (Like Chief of Staff <span style="font-size: x-small"> </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/27/obamas-chief-of-staff-rah_n_138240.html"><span style="font-size: x-small;color: #058b7b">Rahm Emanuel</span></a>) that didn’t like to sit around. The kind of troop that killed entire countries.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia">A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Greece (Small Town America)</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Xerxes wanted Greece (America via absolute power). Greece was a historical marvel, a center of art, sculpture, architecture, commerce, and a former world-ruling empire. Just as all good Democrats and Republicans think today, Xerxes (Obama and the Owners of The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221;) thought the best way to get his hands on all those goodies in Greece (America) was to steal (tax) them from their rightful owners.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Some in Greece (Americans) weren’t sure if the battle was coming and wanted to live in denial. They didn’t take steps to prepare a defense for their country for an army of the Persian size. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Eventually the Greeks (Americans) came to know that the Persians were coming, but they were not prepared and felt that they were only left with “negotiating and accommodating” their (Congressional) enemies, as the problem was that they had very little time to prepare.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">A Spartan General and King named Leonidas took 300 fighting men and placed them and himself between Persia’s 600,000 advancing troops and the area where the larger Greek army (American Patriots) was formulating a defense. That initial battle would be 300 men against 600,000. The odds didn’t look promising.  (Sounds like American farmers and our old Government during the Revolutionary War, doesn&#8217;t it?)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">I’ll spoil it for you ahead of time. The <strong>300</strong> lost the battle.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">That lost battle was significant however. Somehow, through superior professionally trained fighting skills, war tactics, perspicuously planned strategies well executed by motivated and dedicated warriors; those 300 men held off the 600,000 invading Persians for weeks, long enough for Greece to plan their defense, set up a stronghold front, and ultimately keep Persia’s Xerxes (Obama and “The Fed”) from his prize.  The 300 Spartans have been credited by historians to be the basis for the Western civilization and freedom as we know it (well at least for awhile yet) today.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia">A Quick Time-Out to Help Public School Geography and History Teachers</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">If you teach geography or history in the public schools, you’re no doubt confused. You should know that Greece is a country in southern Europe. When a country is said to be southern, that means it’s <em>lower</em> than others on a map. Grease (spelled with an <em>a</em>) is the stuff in skillets that was one of the things that initially confused you about all this.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">What you probably don’t know is that Europe is located east (it’s probably easier for you to think &#8220;to the right&#8221;) of America across the Atlantic Ocean. Just go up to New York City and take a hard right; in a couple of thousand miles or so you’ll be getting close to Europe.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">If you want to know more about Greece, Persia, and other things like geography and history, just ask any homeschooled student. He or she can fill you in on all the details that you’re lacking.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">And now back to the <strong><em>300</em></strong>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia">We’ll Protect You</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Keep in mind that those 300 Spartan men sent to hold off the invading 600,000-man Persian army did not win the battle. They eventually lost, primarily do to one unpreventable weakness in their planned venue of battle and the shear numbers of the enemy. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">The 600,000 Persians thought that the little Greek army led by Leonidas wouldn’t be a problem. Just a minor stepping-stone on their way into Greece. Like any warrior, however, the Persian leader Xerxes (Like any politician such as Obama) knew it would be better to get the Spartans on his side than to expend the time and minor casualties to fight them.</span></span></p>

</div>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">That’s why the Persian Emperor Xerxes (Obama) sent word to the Spartan (American) community(ies), whose male children were trained from the age of 5 to be professional highly skilled/trained warriors of supreme honor and courage: <strong>We will spare every one of your lives. All you need to do is disarm yourselves. Put down your weapons (Disavow The Constitution &#8220;for your own good&#8221;) and you will live (And, we The Government, will take care of you).  </strong><em><span style="color: #0000ff">This is what Capt. Karl calls “The Final Ultimatum”.  And it is coming, people,  MARK  MY  WORDS.</span></em></span></span></p>
<p> <span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">It’s a lot like what the Third Reich told many in Poland and elsewhere right before they spent the next few years firebombing those who lay down their guns.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">It’s a lot like Janet Reno told the wacky David Koresh and his church in Waco right before she firebombed and slaughtered all those children.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">It’s a lot like what your government has been moving toward since the 1934 National Firearms Registration Act started the same ball rolling here.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">&#8220;Give us your weapons. You don’t need them. We’re from the government. We’re here to help. We will protect you.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia">Molon Labe</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">When the 300 Greeks heard that all they had to do was to give up their weapons to live, they didn’t do what hundreds of thousands of Jews and other victims did 7 decades ago.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">They didn’t do what millions of British have done in the past 2 decades, seeing an intense exponential increase in violent crime ever since.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">They didn’t do what probably millions of Americans will do over the next few years as older generations who understand the importance of freedom, personal responsibility, and personal protection pass away.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">What they did do was this: The Spartans sent two words back to the 600,000 Persian’s and Xerxes (Obama) who requested their weapons “for their own good”.</span></span></p>

Even though those 300 men died in battle, they were angry enough, strong enough, skilled enough and brave enough to fight off the entire 600,000 Persian army and cause a delay so long that the full Greek army could assemble and prepare a defense that would keep Greece free from the Persian takeover. The 600,000 lost over 100,000 fighters in the battle against Leonidas’s 300 and caused great fear to the enemy, until they finally found the chink in the battlefield allowing them to flank the 300 Spartans.</span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Many </span><a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/"><span style="font-size: small">LewRockell.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small"> readers will understand the importance of this battle. It took something special for 300 men to hold off 600,000 invaders long enough to give their fellow countrymen time to build a suitable defense, one that was probably the largest defense the little country of Greece had ever needed to assemble.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">Real men (and real women) will not lay down their weapons along with their freedoms and give up. Not even in the face of 600,000 warriors.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">A writer named Boston T. Party wrote a modern-day account of Molon Labe. His book, entitled <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Molon-Labe-Come-Take-Them/dp/1888766077/lewrockwell/">Molon Labe</a></em> appropriately enough, tells how a handful of Libertarian-like freedom lovers refused to lay down their weapons against the massive invading force called the United States Government. I wrote about one of Boston T’s other books called <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bostons-Gun-Bible-Boston-Party/dp/1888766069/lewrockwell/">Boston’s Gun Bible</a></em> in another </span><a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/perry/perry11.html"><span style="font-size: small">Lew Rockwell article</span></a><span style="font-size: small"> a few years ago (</span><a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/perry/perry11.html"><em><span style="font-size: small">Don’t Bring Ayn Rand to a Gunfight</span></em></a><span style="font-size: small">).

I’m grateful that my little column affected some of you in that way.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia"><span style="font-size: small">But never fear because the Obama Administration will herd us like a bunch of poor cattle into huge Government apartment complexes, “projects” in the inner core of our cities, with plenty of surveillance TV cameras and listening devices on us to “protect us” from “Domestic Terrorist” militia or evil thought.   Militias are not taking our rights, freedom, liberty or earnings away from us.  Militias have not caused our economy to collapse.  Militias have not created Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae like Congrssmen Barney (FREDDIE /FANNIE) Frank or Honest (AIG) bonus ammendment Christopher Dodd, or honest Charlie tax head Rangel.</span></span></p>

What?!!  Halt the fence?  Are they nuts?  Look at how the U.S. Congress represents Mexicans but not Americans!  When are we going to stand up to the usurpation of these Congressional despots? How long are we going to take this contempt for us from both houses of the U.S. Congress?  When are we all going to rise up and force them to OBEY the LAWS of The Constitution?  They are supposed to be OUR public servants, right?  Not Mexicans' public servants!  Why most of Congress would do anything to steal money from us and give it to the ILLEGALS for health care and welfare,,,  Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are doing that already.  Well then how long are you going to let Congress give our taxes and raise taxes to give to people who are not American citizens, who are ILLEGALLY in our country?

<div>On CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; CNN host and chief national correspondent John King goes outside the Beltway to report on the issues affecting communities across the country. King recently traveled to Arizona, to explore the debate over how to control illegal immigration.</div>

<p>A fence separates the United States from Mexico in the U.S. Border Patrol&#8217;s Yuma Sector in San Luis, Arizona.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cnnStoryPhotoBoxNavigation">
<div id="cnnImgChngrLbl"> <strong>SAN LUIS, Arizona (CNN) </strong>&#8211; The Yuma desert is below: San Luis, Arizona, to one side and San Luis, Mexico, to the other. On this clear day, the Colorado River is glistening, birds playfully circling over what any map defines as the U.S.-Mexico border in this area.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>But from a helicopter above, the border is a steel barrier that stands out along the riverbank and against the desert sands, and is the dividing line that gets the most attention from those crying to cross illegally and those who believe recent efforts to bolster U.S. border security have been riddled with wrong choices.</p>
<p>Just this past week, eight Democrats in Congress wrote President Obama urging him to halt any further construction of the fence, one of the many border- and <a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Immigration_Policy"><strong><span style="color: #004276">immigration</span></strong></a>-related political debates that have carried over from the Bush administration.<span style="color: #0000ff">  What?!!  Halt the fence?  Are they nuts?  Look at how the U.S. Congress represents Mexicans but not Americans!  <strong>When are we going to stand up to the usurpation of these Congressional despots? How long are we going to take this contempt for us from both houses of the U.S. Congress?  When are we all going to rise up and force them to OBEY the LAWS of The Constitution?  They are supposed to be OUR public servants, right?  Not Mexicans&#8217; public servants!  Why most of Congress would do anything to steal money from us American citizens and give it to the ILLEGALS for health care and welfare as well as Social Security and Medicare,,,  Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are doing that already.  Well then how long are you going to let the despots in Congress give our taxes and raise taxes to give to people who are not even American citizens AND who are ILLEGALLY in our country?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">CAN WE individually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,  YES,,,  WE,,,   CAN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !   Rise up America!  <span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>We must take OUR country BACK!</strong></span>   If we don&#8217;t stand up to the tyrants and tax-sters in Congress, who is going to?  According to the writings of our Founding Fathers, it has always been up to us, <span style="color: #ff0000">NOT CONGRESS.  <span style="color: #0000ff">Our Founding Fathers knew that eventually they couldn&#8217;t be trusted for hunger of power and corruption.</span></span></span></p>
<p>To the Border Patrol agents stationed in Yuma Sector, there is no debate. To them, the fence is a success story. From a Vietnam War-vintage Huey helicopter, pilot Chad Smith points across the border to Mexico&#8217;s Highway 2 and then to the barriers that help stop illegal immigrants from making a sprint into southern Arizona.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can see the triple-layer fencing,&#8221; Smith tells us as he lowers the helicopter and hovers over what was once a major crossing point for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. &#8220;Steel fence right on the border, the pedestrian fence about 90 feet north of that, and then the chain-link fence with the barbed wire.&#8221;</p>

<div class="cnnStoryElementBox"><!-- KEEP --></div>
<div class="cnnWireBox">
<div class="cnnWireBoxHeader">
<div class="cnnBoxContent">
<div class="cnnPad5TB9LR">
<div class="cnnHtPromoMore">The fence has three layers in areas where there is an urban neighborhood on the Mexican side. Smith is among those who say their flights are less hectic now because while you can still clearly see the trails in the sand and in some hilly areas below, there is considerably less traffic.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve flown before and come back and had 70-plus [illegal immigrants logged in a tracking book],&#8221; Smith said. &#8221; I know guys who have gone on a flight and come back with 100-plus illegals in their logbook. Now it is in single digits, typically.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is a fascinating view from above: Old trails in some places, and the remnants of newly placed white sandbags in others.</p>
<p>&#8220;It forms a pretty good bridge for them to drive across.&#8221; Smith says of the sandbags. When they are spotted from above, <a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/border_control_and_customs"><strong><span style="color: #004276">Border Patrol</span></strong></a> agents on the ground are called in to destroy the makeshift crossings.</p>
<p>Congress in 2006 &#8212; with then-Sen. Barack Obama&#8217;s support &#8212; authorized nearly $3 billion for 670 miles of fencing stretching from California to Texas. There are more lights, sensors and cameras, and there are also more agents like Mike Lowrie driving patrols and chasing tips called in from colleagues monitoring the camera feeds at the Yuma Sector headquarters.</p>
<p>Standing alongside the steel barrier at a point in which there is just one layer of fencing, Lowrie shakes his head when told that some in Washington want to stop additional construction in other areas.</p>
<p><!--startclickprintexclude--></p>
<div class="cnnStoryElementBox">
<h4>&#8220;This used to be a very high-trafficked area, and now it is not,&#8221; Lowrie told us.</h4>
</div>
<p>Asked to define &#8220;high traffic,&#8221; Lowrie says, &#8220;In the Yuma Sector, we would get about 800 a day. Now, 25 maybe, or 10.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nodding toward the barrier, he continued: &#8220;Numbers don&#8217;t lie. We didn&#8217;t have it three years ago, and we were getting massive numbers of illegal entries. We have it now, and we don&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>But there are voices on both extremes of the immigration debate that say the role of the fence is exaggerated, or that say the barrier&#8217;s benefit in slowing illegal traffic is offset by other costs.</p>
<p>Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose tough stance against illegal immigrants has earned him global media coverage, says the fence is fine, but: &#8220;We just arrested 150 in the past 14 days. They&#8217;re still coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>And Father John Herman, a Roman Catholic priest whose Spanish language Masses are packed with illegal immigrants, blames the fence for more risky crossings in less-populated desert areas.</p>
<p class="cnnInline">&#8220;We know that the way enforcement has gone has driven many people into the desert and caused more deaths. Needless deaths. If we could only get together and work for comprehensive immigration reform.&#8221;</p>

I have been trying to tell people about this collapse since 1982. When I started a group called F.A.I.R. (Families Against Imminent Robbery), which was founded on the concerns of the Socialist unsustainable programs of Medicare and Social Security.

What we are going through now IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING and a Cake Walk!  Compared to the Social Security and Medicare Socialist debacle

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I would be willing to bet that you, reading this, do not realize that every single soul in our country, in 1775, naturally thought of themselves as British citizens of our existing Government.  Even though our Government’s policemen and soldier&#8217;s uniforms were red we all, at that time, thought of them as our policemen and soldiers doing their duty for our country and Government.  But our Government became so oppressive and tyrannical that 30% of our population just couldn’t let it go on anymore.  Many were upset at our Government for oppressive taxation and multiple acts of tyranny, disrespect for us,  our concerns and even multiple formal written petitions for the redress of  grievances, composed by our citizens, were respectfully submitted that our Government just ignored and refused to redress.  Oppressive laws on our daily lives became burdensome and created hardships and unnecessary costs on our families that our Government rationalized, spun and almost made to seem reasonable to some, perhaps many in 1770s, which lead to &#8220;<a href="http://www.earlyamerica.com/shot_heard.htm"><span style="font-size: small;color: #800080;font-family: Times New Roman">The Shot Heard Around the World</span></a>&#8220;. </p>
<p>     Do you know that, just recently and several times over the last nine or so years,  there have been  formal very respectful petitions for a redress of direct &#8220;Constitutional&#8221; questions / grievances, submitted by the support of <strong>THOUSANDS</strong> of citizens through the group called &#8220;<a href="http://www.GiveMeLiberty.org"><strong>We The People Congress</strong></a>&#8221;  that our U.S. Congress and Administration are refusing to address or even reply with a why to?  The Liberty Tree Lantern can report on this because we have personally served the legal &#8220;Notice and Demand&#8221; to respond to the petitions on Senators Herbert Kohl D-WI and Russ Feingold D-WI as well as Congressman Steve Kagen  D-WI just a few short months ago.  Do you know that <strong>the right of the people to petition our Government for a &#8220;redress&#8221; of grievances is a major part of the 1st Amendment?</strong>  Do you know that this clause was placed in The Constitution<strong> to avoid the necessity of our fellow countrymen to go to war with our Government, again,</strong>  to enforce the Constitution and our God given rights as a free people?  But yet our Government refuses to answer a few Constitutional &#8220;questions&#8221; submitted in The Notice and Demand to redress American&#8217;s petition to redress grievances, personally served on every member of Congress and the administration?  What gives?  We have tried this at least 4 times over the last 8 or 9 years.  <strong>We try and try and try to get our U.S. Congress and Government to respond</strong> to simple Constitutional questions, to resolve economic and societal problems, caused by Congress, <strong>in a peaceful way</strong>, <strong>over and over and over again, but yet they refuse</strong> to simply answer these Constitutional questions.  Why?  Are they, the U.S. Congress, Executive and Judicial Branches all usurping our power, rights and earnings as a free people?  What the hell is going on when the U.S. Government refuses to answer a list of constitutional questions formally and personally served as a 1st Amendment &#8220;Petition for The Redress of (Constitutional) Grievances, on every Senator and Congressman throughout the United States and to every member of The Executive and Judicial Branches, for crying out loud?  What the hell is going on?  How long are the American People suppose to take such contempt for the rule of law and for we the people ourselves? <strong> <span style="color: #800000">The majority of the grievances submitted by </span></strong><a href="http://www.GiveMeLiberty.org"><strong>We The People Congress </strong></a><span style="color: #800000"><strong>relate to the constitutionally heinous activities by the scofflaws  in both houses of Congress, strike to the very core of what has caused our economy to collapse and our citizens to lose their personal wealth and even their homes.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: #000000">Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, <strong>it is their right, <span style="color: #ff0000">it is their duty</span>, to throw off such Government</strong>, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present U.S. House and Senate is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Our children and even you today probably have no real perspicuous understanding that in 1775 there were ONLY 30% of our American ancestors who believed in fighting in war and shooting our policemen and our soldiers who fought to maintain the domestic tranquility and the law of our Government.  But 70 of our common farmers and citizens from around Lexington gathered and bravely stood fast during that Spring&#8217;s first light and early morning foggy mist of April and confronted troops from our Government at the town green and another contingient of about 400+ common folk and farmers again at Concord Bridge where we pulverized them.  Imagine what it was like and how brave you would have  to be to stand there in the face of so many of our policemen and soldiers, no less than Eight Hundred of them, who were operating under orders from our Government to subdue the civil unrest, confiscate our firearms  and pick up and arrest John Hancock and Samuel Adams.  And for our citizens, common folk and farmers,  to then fire at them, the most powerful Government and army in the world.  Can you imagine? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Why didn&#8217;t our public schools teach us this important history, what it was like to fight for freedom from our Government, in a way we could have remembered it?  Too boring perhaps?  Or, did our Government have ulterior motives to subdue the &#8220;reality&#8221; of this period in our history when they wrote the curriculum?  Perhaps it is time for us to rent &#8220;The Patriot&#8221;,  &#8221;John Adams&#8221;  HBO series, Braveheart and &#8216;300&#8242; on DVD and show our children the true history of the birth of our nation and what it takes to fight for freedom from our government&#8217;s tyranny and oppression.  After all doesn&#8217;t President Barack Hussein Obama remind you of a God King like Xerxes of the Persian Empire coming down the numerous steps of his &#8220;servant&#8221; hand carried ride as he offered Leonidas mercy and scraps if he would only kneel down at his feet?  I believe that Obama&#8217;s ancestors are actually of Persia.  Who knows, maybe a connection? I believe that the Spartan culture, even to some extent as portrayed in the movie, and our American culture have certain elements very much in common. We, individually and united, are winners.  It is the core of our culture and our way.  And we will NOT give up our freedom or American honor in the face of tyranny, despotism or oppression through Socialism and/or Fascism!  Although we may lose a battle or two to our Government, like The 300 at Thermopylae or like us at the battle of Long Island under General Washington, in the end   <strong><span style="color: #0000ff">WE &#8211; WILL &#8211; WIN - THE &#8211; WAR!</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">We all must realize that our existing Government in 1775 honestly felt that they were controlling and manipulating us in ways that were &#8220;for the best interests of the Colonies&#8221;.  They honestly believed that, just as the vast majority our existing 2009 Congress thinks they are doing for us a favor on this very day, as they spend our future paychecks away; although in BOTH eras, as we all know,  a large number of them also did it for profit and power growth.  Amazing the similarities of both periods of history, complete with the on-coming taxation to pay for the bailouts and spendulus programs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> You need to know that during the entire Revolutionary War a strong 30% of our fellow Americans fully supported our Government and very many even joined up with our policemen and army to fight against us who believed in the cause of freedom from our Government or self-Government under the laws We want based on &#8220;Natural&#8221; Law and the Ten Commandments and making our Government subservient to us common people by way of the <strong>laws</strong> of The Constitution which are obligatory on our Government, not on we the people. </p>

Preparations for conflict with our Government had been underway throughout the winter with the production of arms and munitions, the training of militia (including the minutemen), and the organization of defenses. In April, Thomas Gage, the governor of Massachusetts and a General of our Government troops there, decided to counter these moves by sending a force out of Boston to confiscate weapons stored in the village of Concord and capture patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock reported to be staying in the village of Lexington. </span></span></p>

Paul Revere arranged for a signal to be sent by lantern from the steeple of North Church &#8211; one if by land, two if by sea. On the night of April 18, 1775 the lantern&#8217;s alarm sent Revere, William Dawes and other riders on the road to spread the news. The messengers cried out the alarm, awakening every house, warning of a Government column making its way towards Lexington. In the rider&#8217;s wake there erupted the peeling of church bells, the beating of drums and the roar of gun shots &#8211; all announcing the danger and calling the local militias to action. </span></span>  </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana">In the predawn light of April 19, the beating drums and peeling bells summoned between 50 and 70 militiamen to the town green at Lexington. As they lined up in battle formation the distant sound of marching feet and shouted orders alerted them of our policemen and soldiers in Redcoats&#8217; approach. Soon the Government column emerged through the morning fog and the confrontation that would launch the first nation of &#8220;free&#8221; people, in world history, began. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;color: #6c3838;font-family: Verdana">When I arrived there, I inquired of Captain Parker, the commander of the Lexington company, what was the news. Parker told me he did not know what to believe, for a man had come up about half an </span></p>

<div class="mceTemp"> </div>
<p> Parker immediately turned to his drummer, William Diman, and ordered him to beat to arms, which was done. Captain Parker then asked me if I would parade with his company. I told him I would. Parker then asked me if the young man with me would parade. I spoke to Douglass, and he said he would follow the captain and me.</p>
<div class="mceTemp"> <span style="font-size: 8pt;color: #6c3838;font-family: Verdana">Just as I had finished and got back to my place, I perceived Government troops had arrived on the spot between the meeting-house and Bucknian&#8217;s, near where Captain Parker stood when he first led off his men. Our Government&#8217;s troops immediately wheeled so as to cut off those who had gone into the meeting-house. The Government troops approached us rapidly in platoons, with a general officer on horseback at their head. The officer came up to within about two rods of the centre of the company, where I stood, the first platoon being about three rods distant. They there halted. The officer then swung his sword, and said, &#8216;Lay down your arms, you damned rebels, or you are all dead men. Fire!&#8217; Some guns were fired by our Government at us from the first platoon, but no person was killed or hurt, being probably charged only with powder. </span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;color: #6c3838;font-family: Verdana">Just at this time, Captain Parker ordered every man to take care of himself. The company immediately dispersed; and while the company was dispersing and leaping over the wall, the second platoon of our Government fired and killed some of our men. There was not a gun fired by anv of Captain Parker&#8217;s company, within my knowledge. I was so situated that I must have known it, had any thing of the kind taken place before a total dispersion of our company. I have been intimately acquainted with the inhabitants of Lexington, and particularly with those of Captain Parker&#8217;s company, and, with one exception, I have never heard any of them say or pretend that there was any firing at our Government from Parker&#8217;s company, or any individual in it until within a year or two. One member of the company told me, many years since, that, after Parker&#8217;s company had dispersed, and he was at some distance, he gave them &#8216;the guts of his gun.&#8217;&#8221;</span><span style="font-size: 8pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folks, we have two battle fronts trying to usurp our power, money and freedom.  Both of these enemies of ours are enemies of each other in their megalomaniac quest to take over the world in that each has their own version of a One World Government.  One enemy is the Federal Reserve company who controls the U.S. Government and takes our money and gives it to bankers and huge corporations that are their cronies.  The other enemy is the Caliphate who is violently striving to create a one world theocracy.  Both are destroyers of freedom and individual prosperity.</p>
<p>Over the next few weeks I am going to provide more detailed information about various tactics that the Caliphate is doing to attempt to beguile Americans to do things to weaken the American Government and military.  The bad thing is the Caliphate, right here in America, are using huge parts of truth along with deceptive lies to manipulate us.  That does not mean that we should ignore the vital truth.  But we must be aware of their evil motives and be ready to fight them with all we&#8217;ve got, while at the same time fighting our Government.  This is going to be a very scary two front battle.  We all must be knowledgeable of both evils.</p>
<p>The Caliphate, here in America, is telling the truth about The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; and the U.S. Government operating in highly illegal unconstitutional ways to usurp our money and freedom to create a combination fascist and Socialist one world government.  They are also trying to tell us that The Caliphate doesn&#8217;t exist and that there are no such thing as &#8220;terrorists&#8221;.</p>
<p>Can you think of a world or a time more scary than ours.  Two silver tongued devils fighting for total control, first of our minds and then of our entire society.  Be aware out there.  When you see a member of The Caliphate speaking to you about all manner of truth, that we need to know about our U.S. Congress and The Federal Reserve company stealing our rights, freedom, money and destroying our economy, go ahead and listen, they are telling the truth, but you MUST know where the truth ends and deceit begins; for they are as dangerous to us as the Trojan horse was to Troy.  You better look them in the mouth.  They have an ulterior motive to helping us to realize the horrors of our Government.</p>
<p>If we realize the beguilement of the Caliphate we can use them to assist us in our cause of freedom, but prepare to turn and fight them too.  I am warning you my fellow countrymen, do not let them flank you while we are in battle with those forces in the U.S. Government, who are soon going to attempt to take 80% of our earnings in all sorts of payroll and withholding taxes to give to huge bankers, huge corporations and to place us in the equal distribution of misery.</p>
<p>It is in deed a dangerous world.  But we the brave and the free will ultimately win.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Calibri">Consequently, there is nothing valuable in America to struggle or fight for, since you do not fight and die for something that could be wrong.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Calibri">This is where the danger of Islam enters the picture. Islam believes in itself as true – in fact, as the only truth. Muslims are willing to die for this truth. Americans no longer are. Infected by relativism, Americans are unsure of the objective truth of America and its values and therefore are really unwilling to sacrifice and die for it. It is multiculturalism gone wild where everything is challenged. Having lost confidence in the truth of what America stands for, it is already defeated. The stronger culture of Islam will sooner or later replace the weaker American one.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy &#8220;accommodation.&#8221; And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer&#8211;not an easy answer&#8211;but simple.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom, or our individual prosperity from the threat of economic collapse or Government oppression and tyranny by committing an immorality so great as saying to 300 million Americans now in slavery, prison of the mind and taxation in “The Matrix”, &#8220;Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters.&#8221; Alexander Hamilton said, &#8220;A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.&#8221; Let&#8217;s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace&#8211;and you can have it in the next second&#8211;surrender.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face&#8211;that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand&#8211;the ultimatum. And what then? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">When Barack Obama has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the financial crisis, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for &#8220;peace at any price&#8221; or &#8220;better Red than dead,&#8221; or as one commentator put it, he would rather &#8220;live on his knees than die on his feet.&#8221; And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don&#8217;t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery in a Socialist world where all that is left is the equal distribution of misery and no hope of The American Dream. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin&#8211;just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard &#8217;round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn&#8217;t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it&#8217;s a simple answer after all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, &#8220;There is a price we will not pay.&#8221; There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase &#8220;peace through strength.&#8221; Winston Churchill said that &#8220;the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits&#8211;not animals.&#8221; And he said, &#8220;There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: #333333">You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;font-family:">You and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;font-family:">Have we been so programmed by “The Matrix” and its relativism that we are unwilling to fight and die for Freedom?<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt;font-family:">What will you do without freedom?<span>  </span>To live without freedom is to live without any measure of individual prosperity, dismal health and no life worth the aggravation. Accommodate and appease and you’ll live, at least for awhile. But lying in your beds, many years from now, when you see your children slaving away while the vast majority of their paychecks go to “the masses” with barely enough for food and shelter left, for them and their little children, after “withholding” from their earnings to survive on, would you be will’n to give all the days from this day to that, to come back here and tell are enemies, they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">If you think that Big Government isn’t going to tax you and your children and your children’s children, in the near future for all the Trillions of “taxpayer” dollars they are giving to their Big Banker friends of The Federal Reserve company, or Big Business like AIG and The Automakers, you are nothing more than a complete imbecile.<span>  </span>Whose side do you think the Federal Government is on, the Banks and Big Corporations or yours?<span>  </span>All you have to do is ask who the tax money is coming from and to whom it is going.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">And those Trillions of your money that Big Government is taking away from you and your family for the bailouts is nothing but chump change compared to NINTY TRILLION DOLLARS of UNFUNDED liabilities, over the infinite horizon as reported by The Washington Times and The Comptroller General of The United States, David Walker, who quit the position so that he could warn the American public of the plans of the U.S. Government to take your paycheck away from you to pay for these “entitlement” obligations.<span>  </span>Where the heck do you think that money is going to come from people?<span>  </span></span><strong><em><span style="font-size: 16pt;color: #333333">The only question is, what are you going to do about it?</span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family:">Relativism isn’t going to put anything but gruel on the table from the Socialist soup lines and your family either sitting out on the curb or in some massive “public” apartment complex that would give you the same feel to it as the huge edifice that holds millions of human beings in vats of slime in “The Matrix”, where they suck out taxes, through the IRS (Agents) umbilical cords and feed our minds with programming and propaganda.<span>  </span>Resistance will be futile then, when it’s too late, because they will send IRS “Agents” with dark sunglasses and guns to get you.<span>  </span>And nobody beats an Agent.<span>  </span>If you see one, do what we do, RUN!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family:">Mark my words, people; everything is going to change, in the near future, in ways that you are going to say you never would have believed.<span>  </span>We here at The Liberty Tree Lantern have been writing about this for years now, if not on this blog in forums and sites all around the Internet.<span>  </span>The Matrix is collapsing and </span><strong><em><span style="font-size: 16pt;font-family:">the Agents are coming</span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family:">.<span>  </span>Socialism and/or Communism is coming to greet us at our doors at the end of a gun.<span>  </span>And some are foolish enough to think that is what they want.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family:">If you want to stop the U.S. Government, the owners of The Federal Reserve and “The Matrix” itself from keeping you in the equal distribution of poverty and misery through Socialism, Communism, taxation, oppression, tyranny and despotism, you have to read and understand The Constitution.<span>  </span>And you must FIGHT for it, to the very word, word for word, to its very meaning, spirit and intent </span><strong><em><span style="font-size: 16pt;font-family:">as it was meant on the day it was drafted, Amendments included. NO Changes.<span>  </span></span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family:">Everything in The Constitution is in there to protect us from the Federal Government and the Bankers that control them, causing the economic and financial crisis we have today, for only freedom can generate the prosperity that we “thought” we had and would have had if The Federal Government, particularly both houses of Congress, would have obeyed the law, the entire law.</span></p>
