WHAT'S AHEAD FOR AMERICA AND LIBERTY?

Everyone should take the time to read George Washington's inaugural and farewell addresses. Not just read them but take the time to read and understand them. I have mentioned before that I personally feel that President Washington was one of two men most inspired by the Holy Ghost from the first century until the early 1800's.

In his farewell address the President spoke openly and freely of things which could come to pass in America. He referred to tyranny and he included under it the following: selfish ambition with pretended patriotism, collusion of of powers, usurpation and precedence of usurpation, debt, foreign influences and extreme party politics.

"The habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments into one and thus create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism."_ _ _
""If in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way the Constitution designates.But let there be no change by usurpation, for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedence must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield." President George Washington, Farewell Address

What we see today is following in the exact path which the President warned us against:_ _ _
1.Tyranny under selfish ambition. The leftist socialists who now control the government, Obama, Clinton's, Reid, Pelosi and Democrats in congress and the senate along with the numerous commieczars.
2. Collusion of powers: The Special Advisers to the President. The commieczars. By-passing the need for these people to be vetted and confirmed by congress or the senate to control every aspect of freedom and liberty of the American people.
3. Debt: How much farther in debt can America and her people go? Yet the Obamaists still want the few to pay more for the masses. Give our money away to foreign countries by paying for energy, handcuffing America through environmental issues to stifle our ability to produce our own oil, coal, hydro, and nuclear energy.
4. Foreign Influences: Those of oil producing countries, rouge countries (Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, etc)or those who may just not like our policies ( Spain, Italy, France) even though we saved their bacon and sovereignty at least twice.

5. Extreme Party Politics: This happens on both sides of the isle. However, right now we have those who wish naught but ill for America in power and they will usurp power by any and every means possible. They will corrupt, intimidate, threaten and coerce to achieve their counter liberty policies.

In a few short months the extremists and the naive Americans who placed them in power have accomplished each of the evils of which President Washington warned us. We now have unprecedented TYRANNY and DESPOTISM stealing our freedom, liberties our money and the rights given to us by the Constitution.

TAKING A BREAK FROM THE FRUSTRATION OF US

THIRD OPTION POSSIBILITIES

Where is it written that American Government must be under a two party system? The American People have allowed two organizations to misrepresent them in government. Actually, we have allowed them to become as one. We have ceded control of our freedoms, rights and liberties to the RepugnantCrats.


The democrats and republicans no longer represent us to the government but the government to us. Their main concern is seeing that they stay in office to draw the big paycheck, receive exceptional health care, have a bloated retirement program, exert immoral control over the country and the people, feed their power hungry egos and push their extreme ideologies (whether left or right). To do this they must pay homage to the party line. Do as we (the party not the people) say or suffer the consequences. Lose your seat at the beggars table!


The perfect example is the manner in which the spiteful democratic party did not like Sen Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) because of his support of the war against Extreme Muslim Jihadist who had taken over 3,000 innocent American civilian lives and destroyed countless other lives and futures. They funded and supported a millionaire who would follow the party rhetoric. Sen. Lieberman chose to run as an independent and he won. Why he chose to caucus with those who dumped him is still a mystery.


We have allowed presidents to by-pass the checks and balances of the executive, legislative and judicial system by letting them appoint Special Advisers to the President (CZARS).


The fastest and easiest way for the citizens of America to take control is by forming an third option.

Elections and those chosen as candidates provide Americans with the opportunity to determine how we, and America can best be served! Today we are force fed not served.

Our republican form of government gives the winner all of the power and should they chose to represent their personal ideologies or those of who bought them last instead of the people who elected them, we live with that for 2 to 6 years.

The Democrat power brokers and elitist party leaders have shown their contempt and fear of even their own party members on two occasions. In 19 84 they began to realize that the "little people" acting as convention delegates were not always following party lines and wishes. The powers that be (the more equals) threw in the "Super Delegates" (548) party loyalists and slaves amounting to 14% of the vote which the party bosses could control. Then realizing there were still to many independent thinkers in the party, in 2000 they moved that number of "Supers" to 800 nearly 20% under control or beholding to the party. This action pretty much shut down any questioning of the party ideology and platform.


All to often in the past third or fourth parties have been so one issue focused (Animal Rights, Green Party, Save the Ring tailed Bandicoot Party, etc) and their candidates are those who one would not invite to dinner let alone want as president. These groups believe that by running some one for president they are making a statement. Fools all!


By finding serious, worthy, men and women who love and respect the Constitution and wish to preserve it and its God given Rights for Americans a third option can restore America and save our future.

One should remember that nearly 40% of the electorate does not identify with either of the current parties. These people still seem to be able to think for themselves. Do they need somewhere that they can be heard and fairly represented? I think so.

We should not go out and find people to run within the existing party system. We need a clean sweep, a third option.


If a third option were to look at one position of representative in each of the following states: Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Georgia, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana: you could possibly have 16 representatives even with half that number they would be a force with which to be reckoned. If you concentrated on three or four states in which to run respectable and viable senatorial candidates and got two or three, you could cause a serious imbalance in the current corrupt congressional family.


The problem would be with organization and funding. Third party groups usually appear as radical, unwashed, undereducated and certainly underfunded lost souls. Organizational skills, political understanding with a calm but passionate love for freedom, liberty, America, Americans and the divinely inspired Rights of Constitution should be paramount in beginning such a program.


Funding poses even a greater problem. Not everyone has a personal fortune to put into such an
endeavor as Ross Perot. This funny little man from Texas ran for president and funded his own campaign. He had adequate resources and captured 19% of the popular vote.

The cost of running a campaign for congress could run between 2 an $3,000,000.00, the senate is even more corrupt and foreboding at 6 to $10,000,000.00. This is not for the weak, fearful or coward. However, if the message can be heard and embraced by only 5 million people each willing to give $20.00 you could run 18 congressional candidates and four senatorial. Perhaps you need only reach 2 million willing to give $50.00 to achieve the same goal.

Then we must look at the seed money. How do we get the message out? The toughest part?

Never start underfunded!




AMERICA IN DIRE STRAITS

As of this morning the apologist, leftist, fascist president of the United States has given away our right and ability to defend ourselves from nuclear attack from Russia, Iran and any other Jihadist, Communist country which may want to launch missiles at us.

While President Reagan bargained and negotiated from a position of power and brought down the Soviet Empire now just called Russia and let all Americans (of every color, race and creed)sleep more secure than they had for 30 years, this president has told the world that we will unilaterally stop the development and implementation of our European based defense system. Immediately following this show of cowardice and apology the Russians announced that they would still place nuclear missiles along the border of the free state of Poland

Not only is he eroding The Constitution and our God given Rights he has placed everyone of us in harms way, when he has been elected to keep America and her people safe and secure.

AM I READY

For nearly 80 years we have been encouraged to prepare every needful thing. Have I been diligent in preparing. If I am not fully prepared am I too late? Perhaps, but not necessarily so. I can still get something done. I must be diligent in doing so.

It has been rumored that some federal agencies are stockpiling grains and canned goods for use in the near future. Can I count on the Government of Obama to share these goods with me? I think not! These goods will be needed for those that are more equal than others, the pigs and the dogs.

In reading about Russia and the socialist programs enforced following the Second World War (very similar to they way Obamaism is forcing us), these people denuded the land eating, cats, rats, birds, leaves, boiling leather and tree bark in an attempt to sustain life. Many people died when they were given grains to eat and were so starved that they ate the grain whole and raw. The bloating which ensued brought on terrible agony followed by death.

Just a few ideas for those of us who have postponed. Rice, beans, wheat. rolled oats, lentils, powdered milk, sugar, hard wheat, salt, stable oils would sustain life during such conditions. Adding to the list we could have honey, peanut butter, canned tomatoes, canned fruit, pasta, a variety of spices and a multiple vitamin. A friend of mine had relatives in what became East Germany and he related to me that they felt their lives were saved from the simple fact that the grandfather had taken a large jar of vitamins in his pack and gave everyone one a day for several months as they wandered the barren countryside.

In today's world it might also be prudent to have at least one firearm and ammunition for it ("the peoples liberty teeth')

COMMIECZARS

The position of a Czar was never intended in the Constitution. They are simply a means whereby the party in power may subvert the Executive, Legislative and Judicial means of checks and balances.

Today we have a perfect example of how a well intentioned idea has become corrupted by corrupt individuals in power.

I personally did not like the idea of a Drug Czar when President Reagan appointed Carleton Turner. There seemed to be no control nor responsibility to any one except the President. Today with nearly three dozen Commieczars affecting every aspect of our freedoms and liberties again they are responsible to no one but Obamaism.

The salaries for these Commieczars and their current staff is in excess of $50,000,000.00 annually. We do not know what the amount that is being set aside for the total cost of each of the Commieczars. I would be willing to bet that another $50,000,000.00 per position would not be far off. This would bring the total to nearly 2 billion dollars, that is $1,800,000,000.00 of taxpayer money going to a leftist, terrorist group of former members of SDS, Weathermen, Black Panthers, and other subversives who head up the Special Advisers to the President (SAP).
We are the SAPS for allowing this to happen.

Many of the leaders and workers within Obama's SAP group are people whom Jimma Carta gave pardons to. They were accepted under the amnesty for draft dodging and under its umbrella were excused from their bombings of federal buildings and murder. None of them have ever recanted their extremist views nor shown remorse nor apologized for their actions. They are still Social/Fascists working against the Constitution and America only this time with the blessings of Obamaism.

At the same time Mr. Carter was giving these terrorists amnesty another action was being carried on to undermine the security and safety of the American People. Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho) and his U.S. Senate Committee to Study Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities was dismantling the FBI and CIA's ability to gather information on these groups, individuals, along with countries who seek to do us harm. Along with Senators Philip Hart (huge anti second amendment opponent), Walter Huddleston (moderate dem), Walter Mondale (ultra liberal), Robert Morgan (trial lawyer, part of the corrupt southern demo machine), and the philandering Gary Hart, they emasculated the ability of our intelligence force to gather info to protect the U.S. Even the even keeled Paul Harvey called what they did , "a treasonous act". Let us not forget Jimma Carter. The president who allowed American soil to be taken and lost forever and dozens of US citizens held hostage for months in terrible , torturous conditions with out lifting a finger to release them. He also brought us double digit inflation, interest rates at 20% and thankfully served one term. The man who claims that the opposition to Obamanism is racially motivated.

Frank Church was in bed with the Kennedy's (and maybe Marilyn Monroe) he gave the keynote address at the National Democratic Convention when JFK was selected the candidate and upon his assassination maintained a lifelong friendship with Theodore. Teddy maintained contact with the Church family until his death. Together they dismantled and obstructed America's intelligence gathering and their legacy lives on.

GOD AND THE FOUNDING FATHERS

I believe that which is thought and taught by many, that the founding fathers were Deists. Of course they were, they belived in ONE GOD, and His son Jesus Christ.


However, as others use this misguided belief to denigrate and minimize the role of Christianity,religion and Divine Intervention in the development of the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the founding of America and her freedoms and liberties, I know that these men were true believers in One God, His Son Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Ghost.


The true Gospel of Jesus Christ had not yet been restored to the earth at the time of the founding of the free America and writing of the Constitution , but these men knew Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and acknowledged the Holy Spirit in guiding them in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.


Because they knew that God and Jesus Christ were not truly represented on earth, they did not profess a a firm belief in Calvinism, Congregationalism, Presbyterianism, Methodism, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Baptistery, etc. However, each did acknowledge God, His Son Jesus Christ, Christian morals and ethics in the founding.


John Adams: "Ask me not then, whether I am a Catholic or a Protestant, Calvinist or Arminan. As far as they are Christians, I wish to be a fellow-disciple with them all."


Patrick Henry: "It cannot be emphasized too sparingly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."


Gen. George Washington addressed his troops following the provisioning and appointment of chaplains to the Continental Army: "The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man, will endeavour to live, and act as becomes a Christian Soldier defending the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country."


Samuel Adams in "The Rights of Colonists" 1772, "The right of freedom being the gift of The Almighty. The rights of of the colonists as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of the Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament."


Thomas Jefferson in "Notes on the State of Virginia" and engraved on the Jefferson Memorial: "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the Gift of God."


To further that they knew Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and Christianity but that at the time the true power of the gospel was absent from among men, Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Moses Robinson on March 23, 1801, "The Christian Religion, when divested of the rags in which they (clergy) have enveloped it , and brought to the original purity and simplicity of its institutor (Christ) is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, and the freest expansion of the human mind."

"THE CONSTITUTION LOST"

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and the keystone under independence. The rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference-they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." George Washington

" The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Thomas Jefferson

"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until "THEY" try to take it."
Thomas Jefferson

Who are "they"? I think I have found out!

With the appointment of Cass Sunstein as the Information and Regulatory Affairs officer, we find that one of the most bizarre leftist is now in charge of regulating every thing.
This communist would have mandatory organ stealing in place (thus controlling us even in death), he believes that the notion of citizens bearing arms is something that has arisen in the past 100 years and should be done away with, he believes that the Insane Federal Government should ban all hunting, he wants to assure that all animals have the same rights as the citizens of the United States (A dog is more rational than a human baby, if a lab rat feels pain it can sue through a human surrogate) and he proposes a "Second Bill of Rights" founded on socialist, Nazi, communistic ideology.

Perhaps the scariest of all is his statement that he "...wants to change The Constitution by 2020.)
This man was approved by the Senate in a 57 to 40 vote!

Next: the member of the Weathermen Underground Terrorist group.
Mark (Goebbels) Lloyd
MGL is the new appointee to the position as Associate General Council and Chief Diversity Officer to the FCC. He is actually the Chief of the Speech Police.

Good bye 1st Amendment

This mans guiding light is the noted radical communist Saul Alinsky who idolized "Lucifer" as the Great First Radical. Lucifer has never done anything beneficial for mankind, His sole purpose is to enslave the human spirit and drag us away from light and freedom. Does Mark G. Lloyd worship at Lucifer's feet" ?

I believe that Christopher Columbus and George Washington were the two men most inspired by the Holy Ghost from the second century until the early 1800's. Just read their journals and writings. Time and time again they have proclaimed their dependence upon the Holy Spirit in finding this "Promised Land" and establishing a land free of tyranny and Socialist/Nazi/Obamaism. Today we have those who follow worshippers of "Lucifer", Marx, Hitler, Stalin, Lenin

"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost".
Thomas Jefferson

OBAMA'S SPEACHES

While every one is saying that Obama's speech to the kids was very benign, (which I myself thought) I would like to see a copy of the original speech. Somehow I think that we would see a great difference if not for true Americans stepping up to condemn this blatant attempt to indoctrinate our youth to worship at the feet of the all knowing, pompous potentate Barack Hussien Obama.

Tonight he is oiling his silver tongue, adding frankincense and myrrh, with a liberal amount of pure clover honey to once again attempt to fool the American people. We should never be fooled unless we are fools (which all are on some occasions), but we should be very aware of what this forced government health care will cost in money, lives and quality of life for anyone over 60. Remember everyone will get older and whether it is tomorrow or fifteen years from now we will all pay the price. We currently have the best longevity and health in the world as a country, are you willing to give that up for an ideology with a socialist agenda? I have lived in South America and have worked and visited dozens of countrys in Europe, North America and South America.
Not one can come close to whar we have. Are you willing to drop to the level a Peru or even Germany or Canada just so that the socilists can control you? Remeber those in power are not willing to take this bitter pill with us.

The self-proclaimed communist Van Jones resigned his Czar position but is now working behind the closed doors of the Darkening House. He is still an advisor to Obama and taking taxpayer money.

While many fear the Obama is leading us down a path to Marxism and by passing the Constitution, I think that it is worse than that. I believe he is attempting to take us into Marxism using Nazi tactics. He has Harry Himmler Reid leading the way.

Has anyone heard that Senator Joseph Lieberman on the 26Th of August this year made a speech where he said that now was not the time to push through the current health bill? Why did this not make headlines? The Senator is one of the 60 votes Obama and his left wing radicals need and he has come out against this bill.

OBAMA'S SS / WWII MUSLIM SS

Is it true that Obama wants to establish a National Police Force answering only to the "White (but darkening)House"?


I would like to point out the following facts concerning a National Police Force. The NAZI Party formed the Waffen SS or Armed Protective Squadron. This armed force would be separate from the army. It was the armed wing of the NAZI Party, reporting to Himmler. It was organized so that when the war was won by NAZI Germany they would become an elite national police force, answerable only to the NAZI PARTY!



NAZI MUSLIM SS TROOPS

There were in excess of 42,000 Muslim Waffen SS Troops.

These troops were designated as the 13Th Waffen SS.

They were signified by the wearing of of a "Fez" and a shield with a symitar.

They were part of the NAZI National Police force!



These Muslim jihadist Nazi SS troops carried out genocide and ethnic cleansing throughout the Baltic countries. They were responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 civilians (men, women and children) in Serbia alone. They slaughtered 750,000+ Serbs, 66,000+ Jews, and over 26,000 Roma (gypsies).


Muslim Nazi SS troops controlled the 3rd largest of all Nazi Death Camps, "JASENOVAC", where over 200,000 Serbs were tortured and killed.


Remember this was done under direction from the Nazi Party to their National Police Force


These NAZI MUSLIM SS Troops received the blessing of THE PALESTINIAN GRAND MUFTI, Hajj Amin Husseni, each regiment had its own IMAM spouting hate and barbarism.

Himmler first brought the thought of a Muslim SS division to Hitler when the Nazis needed a force to controll citizens of the Nazi Fascist free Balkan States. He felt that muslims would be perfect SS troops, "as Islam, promises them Heaven, if they fight and are killed in action."

Himmler justified using Balkan Muslims because he convinced himself that these barbaic sadists were not from Arabic nor Turkish decent but Aryans who had adopted Islam.

Personal Thoughts

From where would Barack Hussein Obama draw his perfect ethnic soldiers for his National Waffen SS Police? Black Panthers, Weathermen, jihadist groups, MS 13 (extreme Latino gang) thugs and bullies? I don't think we would find any devout Catholics, Protestants or any honest Christians invited.

Who would this SS report to, the Administration? To the Democratic National Committee?
Who would be Barack Hussein Obama's Himmler?

CZARISM

There are currently 21 cabinet level positions in the "Beige House". These range from the Sec. of State to the Vice President, the Chief of Staff along with many others. The UN Ambassador is considered a cabinet level position. The appointees to these positions must be approved by the senate. Both sides have ample time and opportunity to study and review each proposed appointee. Committee and open hearings are held for each one.

George Washington had four cabinet members. Secretary of State (Thomas Jefferson): Secretary of War (Henry Knox): Attorney General (Edmund Randolph): Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton). Paraphrasing Will Rogers, Alexander Hamilton started the US Treasure with nothing and that is closest to being even it has ever been.

Under the current president we have what is approaching 33 Czars and Czarinas. People appointed by the president to run (ruin) the lives of God Loving, Freedom Loving, Liberty Loving Americans. These people take over positions of great power (cabinet level) without any senate confirmation, there is no vetting of their backgrounds there is no discussion of their suitability for these positions. They could be rapists, racists, KKK Grand Dragons, black panthers, Mafia Don's, white collar thieves, Enron Execs, child molesters, terrorists, jihadists, weathermen, self proclaimed communists, Fascists, Maoists. Appointed to oversee and regulate energy, education mortgages, the economy, science, pay, health, religion and the lists goes on.

They have no accountability to anyone except the president and his extreme left wing jihadist handlers. They will intrude into our lives to control our thoughts and actions, our health, education, liberty , and pursuit of happiness.

CZARISM

"A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth." Will Rogers

Obama currently has set up 31 Czar and Czarina positions in the cream house (getting darker everyday). What is a Czar? In this context I know that it is, "any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field". However, it could also be, "an autocratic ruler or leader". I believe that Obama views himself as the "Czar of Czars", so he would fall under the second definition while his minions would fulfil the other positions. These czars in many cases are redundant to the cabinet. Don't we have a cabinet position of Homeland Security? Why do we need a Terrorism Czar, a Border Czar, and an Intelligence Czar? We have a Secretary of State. Why then a Iran Czar, A Middle-East Peace Czar, an Afghanistan Czar, Sudan Czar, Mideast Policy Czar? Don't we have a Sec. of Health and Human Development? Why then a AIDS Czar, a Health Care Czar, a Drug Czar? The list goes on. We have a Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, why a Mortgage Czar, a Urban Affairs/Housing Czar? The list puts Obamaism into every aspect of the free Americans life. They will control us if we do nothing.

Why do we have them? For the sole purpose that Obama. his left wing, socialist, fascist, Nazi, racist, Constitution Hating gang will have total control over our life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to own and use firearms and ammunition.

Everyone of the appointed Czars have radical left wing, anti -American, and many criminal backgrounds. The minority appointees are extreme racists and Constitution haters who will do every and anything possible to circumvent and diminish this Divine Document and anyone who does not agree with them.

These people are appointed, not elected, nor approved by the Senate. They are responsible to no one but Obama or to his handlers. They receive $179,000 a year and start with a staff of 10. I am sure that they have huge budgets with which to work their evils. All of this at taxpayers expense. Congress must not allow funding for these left wing radical programs.

I will write again on the history of each member of this cabal and its individual members. I will also find out the salaries of the assistants and the budget allotted for each Czar Area. This is the true axis of evil!

FOLLOWERS

One thing that I should make very clear is that I am not a ditto head fan of Limbaugh nor am I enamored of Hannity. Bill O'Reilly oft times wears me out, Ann Coulter makes me want to urp. I often question what the true motives of these people, their handlers and employers are really all about. However, I know what the New New York Times, CNN, NBC and CBS are about. They are simply controlled by extreme left wing handlers who will print and do anything to keep in favor with the extreme left wing revolutionaries in the Cream House (which is getting darker by the day).



Chet Collier, one of the founders of FOX News ( if I remember right Chet was the VP of Talent in the start of FOX) was a personal friend of mine. Chet was certainly not a conservative and I don't think he was a radical left winger, but more of a left of centrist. Chet did most of the early interviewing and hiring of talent at FOX and was involved for a number of in hiring the talent there. He knew what direction FOX wanted to go. That was where the money was. Were they driven by a real feeling for the need of a more moderate to right wing news and commentary source or was it simply recognized by Murdock that there was a lot of money to be gained through an alternative to CNN? I had the opportunity to tour the FOX studios in New York with Chet in their first year, met some of the early people there asked a few questions and got some responses which were interesting and thought provoking.

What has become of Americans? I had a great uncle who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in WWI. His name was Dean Huff, reading his citation ,he should have had the movie instead of Sergeant York. But then, he was one of those weird Mormons from Teton, Idaho. My father along with three of his brothers, my wife's dad and four of his brothers all served in the armed forces during WWII. Both of my mothers brothers also served during WWII. All of these men served in active combat in Europe and the Pacific. One lost his life flying troops behind enemy lines in a glider, another suffered for years and eventually died from complications of a wound, another uncle was taken prisoner at Wake Island as a 19 year old and suffered in a Japanese prisoner of war labor camp for years.

These men were not Harvard Lawyers, they returned still believing in Jesus Christ, a Loving Father in Heaven, America and the Constitution . They went back to the farms, became barbers, construction superintendents, successful inventors, farm equipment salesmen, pharmacists, accountants, small business owners, raised good families around the Judeo/Christian ethics. With the exception of one or two these men and their wives are all gone.
Their children are the baby boomers, who followed their parents lead. A belief in The Christ, Father in Heaven, America and the Constitution and working for what you get and need.

Today these men's grandchildren and great grandchildren are in but not necessarily part of the whats in it for me generation and gen X. While these men went to war with the great possibility of losing life or limb, America and its freedoms was more important. Today we find that many are only asking what will America do for me, how can I get back as much as possible from the government without working for it. The gen x people have become the greatest snow boarders, skate boarders, video game players, rappers, welfare recipients in the world. Men who father children then abandon them, forcing the mothers to go on welfare, food stamps and worse of all, leaving these kids with no father figure to offer advice and teach basic morals (which the impregnators never had anyway). Sound like anyone we know?

"A right of free correspndence between citizen and citizen on their joint interests, whether publiv or private and under whatsoever laws these interests arize (to wit: of the State, of Congress, of France, Spain or Turkey), is a natural right; it is not the gift of any municipal law, either of England, or Virginia, or of Congress, but in common with all other natural rights, it is one of theobjects for the protection of which society is formed and municipal laws established."
Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe 1797

HOW BARE IS THE CUPBOARD?

If your cupboard is bare how can you share a crust of bread or a bowl of gruel? If your bank account is at a negative balance how can you give a loan or gift. If you have no morals how can you uplift others? The current administration and congress believe that they can accomplish all of these things. They have no bread, they have no money and certainly have no morals but they have outright lies and a whole sack of half -truths and minions willing to spread their lies and deceits.

We are told by these minions that the economy is in a turn around and recovery. Do we believe them? Apparently there are so many desperate people out there that they are so willing to believe anything that they will settle for a partial pewter lining and slavery, to hell with the silver and liberty.

In an article titled, "Can the Souffle Really Rise Again", British economy follower Ambrose Evans-Pritchard gave us some true and rather unsettling information.

"(1)Japanese data released on August 25 showed that exports fell yet again in July. They are down 39.5% to the US and 26.5% to China.
Japan is the world's second largest economy. It lives on exports. It lives on exports. It is also keypads of the supply chain for the Chinese economy. How can this hard data be reconciled with the extreme V-shaped recovery a;ready priced in by the markets?
By the way, Toyota is suspending a key production line at its Takaoka plant in central Japan. It is cutting global capacity by 1 million vehicles.

There is something wrong with the entire recovery tale, which ignores the fact that excess plant is still at the highest level since the great depression, capacity use is 70% in Europe, 68% in the US, 65% in Japan and as low as 50% in some countries according to the World Bank's Justin Lin.

Soaring "confidence" indicators have decoupled from reality. The world economy is still prostrate. GDP has shrunk 4%, 6%, 8%, even 12% or more in a large group of countries. There it more or less sits, like a deflated souffle.

As the Bank of England's Governor Mervyn King puts it: "It's the level stupid". The level of economic activity is years away from full recovery.

The Bundesbank's Axel Weber says it will take until 2013 for Germany to get back where it was. He also warns, by the way, that there will be a second wave of credit crisis as Germany's home grown troubles come to the fore.

I have no idea when stock markets and commodities-especially base metals- will reflect the hard facts on the ground, (ie, an end to the Chinese construction bubble). Timing is not my forte. Nor is the market.

But, I am absolutely convinced that those who think we can return to the status quo ante of the credit bubble as if nothing has happened are delusional. AS almost every central banker in Jackson Hole reminded us over the weekend, it is going to be a very long hard slog".

Thank you Mr. Evans-Pritchard!
