Keep on Chooglin' Freedom Train!

Don't believe anything the government tells you is the truth.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again. Don't believe anything the government tells you. They didn't even have the decency to tell the truth to the family of Pat Tillman; Good, hero stories are far too valuable a propaganda asset to let a pesky detail like the truth ruin a good story.

I find it funny that some actually believe what is being told to them from the people who control our purses and lives. If they are so desperate and conniving as to cover up and lie about something as regular as friendly fire, what makes you think the big things aren't just as easily covered up and lied about?

By SCOTT LINDLAW and ERICA WERNER
WASHINGTON (AP) - An Army Ranger who was with Pat Tillman when he died by friendly fire said Tuesday he was told by a higher-up to conceal that information from Tillman's family.
"I was ordered not to tell them," U.S. Army Specialist Bryan O'Neal told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
He said he was given the order by then-Lt. Col. Jeff Bailey, the battalion commander who oversaw Tillman's platoon.
Pat Tillman's brother Kevin was in a convoy behind his brother when the incident happened, but didn't see it. O'Neal said Bailey told him specifically not to tell Kevin Tillman that the death was friendly fire rather than heroic engagement with the enemy.

And this little tidbit is par for the course.

In questioning what the White House knew, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., cited a memo written by a top general seven days after Tillman's death warning it was "highly possible" the Army Ranger was killed by friendly fire and making clear his warning should be conveyed to the president. President Bush made no reference to the way Tillman died in a speech delivered two days after the memo was written.

Bush will tell us that he didn't know. Do you believe him? Do you believe anyone in government anymore?

Mary Tillman told the committee that family members were "absolutely appalled" upon realizing the extent to which they were misled.
"We've all been betrayed ... We never thought they would use him the way they did," she said.
The Tillman family has made similar accusations against the administration and the military before, but has generally shied away from news media attention. The family had never previously appeared together and summarized their criticism and questions in such a public, comprehensive way.
"We shouldn't be allowed to have smoke screens thrown in our face," Mary Tillman said. "You're diminishing their true heroism to write these glorious tales. It's really a disservice to the nation."
"Our family will never be satisfied. We'll never have Pat back," she said. "Something really awful happened. It's your job to find out what happened to him. That's really important."
Last month the military concluded in a pair of reports that nine high-ranking Army officers, including four generals, made critical errors in reporting Tillman's death but that there was no criminal wrongdoing in his shooting.

I'm Not Sure

Click this link to watch a member of the house, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy D-New York, defend a bill that she really hadn't read. What else is new?

Make me safer!

More than one year before today's unprecedented shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, the state's General Assembly quashed a bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus.
At the time, Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said he was happy to hear of the bill's defeat, according to the Roanoke Times.
"I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus," the Virginia Tech spokesman said...................

The proposal, House Bill 1572, was initiated by Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah County, on behalf of the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
But the bill didn't make it through its first stage, the House Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety.
The Roanoke paper said most universities in Virginia require students and employees, other than police, to check their guns with police or campus security upon entering campus.
Backers of the bill wanted to prohibit public universities from making "rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit ... from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun."
Exceptions would have been made for participants in athletic events, storage of guns in residence halls and military training programs.
In the spring of 2005, a Virginia Tech student who had a concealed handgun permit was disciplined for bringing a handgun to class.
Second Amendment groups questioned the university's authority, but the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police argued against guns on campus.
In June 2006, Virginia Tech's governing board approved a violence prevention policy that reaffirmed the school's ban.

Colleges don't like students to defend themselves. We've seen how that turns out. And, don't expect anyone in the MSM to mention how a student with a personal gun stopped a shooter at Appalachian Law School from going on a similar rampage. The government is responsible for the deaths of the students at Tech. Any (one) could have ended the spree with a sidearm at his hip. But it is illegal to keep a gun on your hip in Virginia at a school of learning. Maybe we've all learned something about gun control today.

The Old Dominion Is in a State of Mourning

A great many students at Virginia Tech University were murdered today on campus. Pray for their families!

Today, where I was born and live

R.I.P.

These two young girls were killed by an illegal alien who was drunk driving and had been arrested in Chesapeake, Virginia just prior to his homicidal drive.

The following is from the online version of the Virginian-Pilot

VIRGINIA BEACH - A man accused of killing two high school students Friday night in a car crash has a record of alcohol-related convictions in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.
Alfredo Ramos, charged with manslaughter in the deaths of Allison Kunhardt, 17, and Tessa Tranchant, 16, was convicted this year of DUI in Chesapeake and of public intoxication in Virginia Beach.
Ramos, who admitted in court Monday that he is in the country illegally, also was convicted in Chesapeake last year of public drunkenness.

The allowance of Illegal immigration into this country by the Bush administration and every other jelly spined politician who agitates for less funding for and no protection of our sovereign borders killed these two young ladies. If this piece of scum was not here, or was deported when he was first arrested for DUI, these two ladies would be home right now. This is the legacy of illegal immigration. It isn't feel good words about diversity and multi-culturalism nor the "building a better community" garbage they use to rob us of our country; these two young ladies are the legacy of illegal immigration. They weren't the first nor will they be the last.

Those damn dirty Irish

I love the Irish, Indians, Germans, French, Italians, English, and even the Russians, but I love them most when they stay where they are. So it's no suprise that I don't like the Irish when they come here illegaly too. And lookey here at what we have, an American politician representing people who are not from this country citizens, or legal. It's no wonder we are having problems with immigration when presidential candidates like Mr. Clinton in the picture to the left blatantly, and without a smidgen of regret advocate for every one in the world except the citizens who put her in power. Ain't America grand?

Lego My Private Property

Some Seattle school children are being told to be skeptical of private property rights. This lesson is being taught by banning Legos.
A ban was initiated at the Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle. According to an article in the winter 2006-07 issue of "Rethinking Schools" magazine, the teachers at the private school wanted their students to learn that private property ownership is evil.
According to the article, the students had been building an elaborate "Legotown," but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore "the inequities of private ownership." According to the teachers, "Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation."
The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown "their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys." These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society -- a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive."
They claimed as their role shaping the children's "social and political understandings of ownership and economic equity ... from a perspective of social justice."
So they first explored with the children the issue of ownership. Not all of the students shared the teachers' anathema to private property ownership. "If I buy it, I own it," one child is quoted saying. The teachers then explored with the students concepts of fairness, equity, power, and other issues over a period of several months.

We know how the socialists have infiltrated public education and are indoctrinating our children with their failed ideas about collectivism. This is just more proof. But one kid hasn't yet been reconstructed into the mold of the new socialist man.

The Defiling Punk Is Getting His

Portsmouth police have arrested a man they say defaced a Confederate monument by spray painting the face.
In June of 2005, someone called police saying the statue, which sits at the corner of High Street and Court Streets, had been vandalized. According to investigators, someone spray painted the face of the statue with black paint.
On Tuesday, police arrested 20-year-old Troy Allen Capps of East Pollux Circle. He has been charged with a class 6 felony. Capps could face up to 2 years in prison with additional fines.

It took a long time, but they have finally got this vandal. I wonder how hard the slap on the wrist he's going to get will be.

Alien, what's an alien

TALLAHASSEE -- A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state's official documents."I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."She has introduced a bill providing that: "A state agency or official may not use the term 'illegal alien' in an official document of the state." There would be no penalty for using the words.In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, "we don't say 'alien,' we say 'immigrant.'"She said she encountered the situation when trying to pass a bill allowing children of foreigners to get in-state tuition at colleges and universities. Wilson, who directs a dropout prevention and education program in Miami, said she politely asks witnesses at public hearings on such issues not to use the term."There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldn't label them," she said. "They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens."Wilson said the first word isn't as bad as the second."'Illegal,' I can live with, but I like 'undocumented' better," she said.Asked if her bill (SB 2154) might run afoul of Gov. Charlie Crist's "plain speaking" mandate for government agencies, Wilson said, "I think getting rid of 'alien' would be plain speaking."

They want to ban the word 'alien' on all official state document? You know they don't care about citizens when they spend money to debate the feelings of ILLEGAL ALIENS. It would be down right funny if it wasn't happening in America (I mean regional North American sphere formerly known as The United States of America).

Listen to what I say, Don't look at what I do

Evangelical Christians are already beginning the process of selecting the Republican presidential candidate whom they can anoint as their successor to George W. Bush. Somehow, evangelicals have this deluded idea that President Bush is one of them. How they came to this delusion both fascinates and escapes me. Bush is anything but one of them. However, most evangelicals believe he is, and today it seems that illusion is greater than reality, anyway. Bush proves that more than anyone I have ever known. But enough about Bush.
The question burning in the minds of evangelicals today is: Which Republican candidate for president will we anoint? There are several possibilities, but apparently Congressman Ron Paul is not one of them....................

Ron Paul is a conservative's conservative, a principled constitutionalist of the finest order. How is it, then, that Jerry Falwell and other evangelicals ignore him?
The answer to the above question is not easy to determine. Maybe today's evangelicals are more concerned about being accepted by the GOP establishment than they are supporting principled, conservative candidates. After all, Paul's willingness to openly oppose his own party has caused him to be blacklisted by party loyalists and apologists. Therefore, it might be that our illustrious evangelical leaders are unwilling to be identified with Paul lest they share the same ostracism.
Another reason might be that today's evangelicals are extremely shallow in their discernment. They seem to love Republican candidates who wear religion on their sleeve. Whether the candidate walks the walk does not seem to matter near as much as whether he talks the talk.
Hence, evangelicals are already warming up to John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and even to Rudy Giuliani. Falwell's National Liberty Journal (NLJ) calls Gingrich "a true American statesman." McCain is called "pro-life." Already, McCain has spoken for Dr. Falwell at his Liberty University. (Don't be surprised if Falwell becomes one of McCain's strongest proponents.) The NLJ quotes Evangelicals for Mitt as saying, "Gov. Romney . . . shares our values." Of Giuliani, NLJ states, "On issues such as national security, battling terrorism and combating crime, Mr. Giuliani is very popular with conservatives."
However, the truth is, neither Gingrich, Giuliani, Romney, nor McCain deserves the support of principled conservatives. Each of these men has numerous examples of failure and compromise of essential conservative values.............
However, rather than letting themselves be used as dupes by the GOP machine, if America's evangelicals would determine to stand on principle by supporting only those candidates who most courageously champion our principles (regardless of their popularity, or lack thereof, with the Republican hierarchy), they might actually be able to bring real change to American politics.
As it is, evangelicals continue to call George W. Bush "one of us," they continue to drink Kool Aid from the faucet of Republican propaganda, and they continue to ignore Ron Paul.

You may have noticed the almost, total media blackout of Ron Paul and his entry into the presidential field of candidates, which assumes you've heard of Ron Paul before from your own research because you probably haven't even seen his name on anything in print or on the television. Chuck Baldwin's article sums up the reasons that Evangelical Christians won't vote for Ron Paul, and he is right, but the problem is much larger than that. No 'republican' would possibly vote for Ron Paul; that would force people to come to the conclusion the republican party doesn't have the slightest shred of respect for the constitution when not running for office and only pays lip service to our supposedly 'revered' law/founding document. Ron Paul votes according to the constitution; no one in congress or the senate does that, and thus if you've voted for those people you have voted against the constitution. No one who calls themself a conservative could possibly bring their hypocrisy to the forefront of their minds like that. It would be too hard for Ron Paul to inflict such intellctual dissonance on the people. This is the reason that Ron Paul will continue to be ignored not only by the main stream media, but the people who should support him as well.

Something Both Republicans and Democrats Agree On

WASHINGTON (AP) -- National Democrats on Tuesday urged Republican Party chairman Mel Martinez to stop the independent College Republicans from holding "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" events around the country.
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean and Ramona Martinez, chair of the Democratic National Committee's Hispanic caucus, sent a letter to the GOP chairman asking him to put a halt to the events.
"These despicable tactics have no place in our public discourse or on our college campuses," the letter said.
The game is a variation of hide and seek, with one player posing as an illegal immigrant and everyone else trying to find the person. The winner usually gets a prize.
Tracy Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said "we find these activities both egregious and offensive and condemn them wholeheartedly." But she noted the College Republicans are independent of the RNC: "We do not control their activities."
Democrats sent a similar letter to chairman Martinez's predecessor Ken Mehlman in September last year, noting that College Republicans were holding similar "catch an illegal immigrant" events in Pennsylvania and Texas. The RNC condemned the activities at the time.
The DNC noted that the game was recently played at New York University and drew several hundred students. Students at other colleges also have played the game.

Maybe it is out of embarrassment that the democrats have found something to protest about the college republicans in New York. Or maybe, they just feel so criticized by a bunch of college republicans who are more in tune with the people on the illegal invasion than they are that they have to strike back some how. Catch an illegal day is, of course, just a stunt to get some awareness on the issue of this mass calculated invasion of these united states. When democrats want to talk about something they push down other peoples throats they call it a 'dialogue', but when it is something they protect and defend more than the borders and the constitution it is called hateful. Street theater is always their friend until it is used against them. They asked the RNC how they felt about this and they responded in the politically correct way, that it is egregious and some such sour words for the college kids who want to make a point. I thought leaving the border wide open and conspiring with the democrats to keep it open would be considered egregious. But what do I know?

If the republicans can't be counted on to support a game that merely gives lip service to the idea that illegal aliens shouldn't be in our country, can they really be counted on to stop this flood coming in?

Just One Vote

Is All It Takes

Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut said today while he has no immediate plans to become a Republican, he might change his mind if Democrats oppose funding the war in Iraq.
"I have no desire to change parties," Lieberman told the Politico. "If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don't feel comfortable with." The Politico asked whether that hasn't already happened, as Democrats have focused their energies on passing a non-binding resolution condemning President Bush's plan to deploy an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq. "We will see how that plays out in the coming months," he said, referring specifically to how the party handles war funding.

If you haven't come to the conclusion that both parties are essentialy the same, you need no further proof than this article on Joe Lieberman who is 'mulling' a switch to the repuclicrat party. Lieberman is one of, if not the most liberal politician on the Potomac as can be seen from his voting record (Stalin would have been farther to the right than this Joe), and all it will take to have him switch parties to the Democrat's --cough, cough-- ideological enemy is a vote on the funding of the war. I could keep writing and writing to convince you, but must I? And if the war leads one to believe that there is a difference of opinion up there, why hasn't Lieberman already changed parties? Because either party he is in, he will vote the same way. Nothing changes but a letter behind a name.

More than just a name

The Museum of the Confederacy will likely drop the word "Confederacy" from its name when it moves its collection to a new home.
"One of our challenges is a gap between the public's perception of who we are and the role we play, and the reality of who we are and the role we play," Waite Rawls, the museum's president and CEO, said yesterday. "The repositioning we have done over the past 30 years is to be more of a modern education institution and less of a memorial . . . to the Confederacy."
The museum dates to Feb. 22, 1896, when The Confederate Museum opened in the former home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The new name, Rawls said, would depend on the location of the museum.

They're going to change the Museum of the Confederacy to the museum of the? I know what name they should use. I propose to call it The museum of the we've been beaten down by leftists who liken anything with the word Confederate or Confederacy to racism. Did I mention my wrist is limp? And we're not racist, I swear, Museum.

The name is long, I admit, but it succintly sums up the position of the museum and it's new progressive direction. They aren't a memorial to the Confederacy you see. They are a 'modern education institution', whatever the hell that is.

To me, the Confederate flag symbolizes slavery, oppression and denying people their rights," Lexington Councilwoman Mimi Elrod said yesterday in a phone interview. "I have a problem with a museum that celebrates that being in our city. If you have a museum that looks at all aspects of the Civil War, that's very different to me."
After discussing a possible name change with Rawls, Elrod said she welcomes more talks. Lexington City Council has appointed a committee to look into the best uses for its courthouse complex.
"This may all work out very nicely," Elrod said.

And some city councilman has who wants fifteen minutes of fame and who I think is affiliated with Washington and LEE university ( no irony there) has her sights set on the standard progressive bonafide of attacking the Confederate Battle Flag as racist and asking it to come down. At least the paper hunted down a person of influence to comment on the flag and the museum.

This is just more of the same, but damn if they aren't getting bolder.

They did go to great lengths to malign the flag and make modern Confederates see, that it is racist and, in the modern American tradition of making more money, the name should be changed. They found about 10 (About?) historians, grant writers, and perservationists (No doubt Yankees or transplanted Yankees) to vouch for their new push.

A group of about 10 historians, grant writers and preservationists don't think so. The committee studied the museum's health last year and released its findings in October. The report states that the word "Confederacy" carries "enormous, intransigent and negative intellectual baggage with many. For them, the Confederacy, and by association the Museum of the Confederacy, now symbolize racism."

So if they change the name Confederacy they won't be racist? I just don't get it, but I wasn't educated in a northern college.

What do you call those people who betray their own? Traitors, that's it. Scalawags sounds just as good.

"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States"

-- Sen. Barry Goldwater (Rep. AR)--

Business as Usual

The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.
The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.
In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors. Using C-130 planes, the deliveries took place once or twice a month with the biggest of $2,401,600,000 on June 22 2004, six days before the handover.
Details of the shipments have emerged in a memorandum prepared for the meeting of the House committee on oversight and government reform which is examining Iraqi reconstruction. Its chairman, Henry Waxman, a fierce critic of the war, said the way the cash had been handled was mind-boggling. "The numbers are so large that it doesn't seem possible that they're true. Who in their right mind would send 363 tonnes of cash into a war zone?"

I guess there is a need for a story about the 393 tons of $100 bills the federal reserve sent t0 war torn Iraq and dispersed without any oversight, but it's just business as usual. The tyranny of the federal government is becoming so transparent and commonplace that it doesn't even get a reaction out of most people any more. Business as usual. What are we fighting for in Iraq again? Stealing billions and billions of dollars from the government and giving it away to, we don't know who they gave it away to, God knows who is no example for that fledgling democracy in Iraq. It is a good lesson for them on how to steal from the people, which is something the united states does extremely well.

This is just strange!

Tannese Islanders belonging to the John Frum Movement
The US's standing in the world may have plummeted under President George W Bush, but a bizarre cargo cult in the Vanuatu island nation holds America in god-like esteem. The Jon Frum movement celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding yesterday with a lavish feast in which village men dressed up as US soldiers and marched in front of a giant Stars and Stripes flag on a bamboo pole. Miniature American flags festooned trees lining the black sand parade ground which forms the focus of Lamakara village, the headquarters of the cult, on the jungle island of Tanna. Older men dressed as officers marshalled the crowd of several thousand cult devotees, while 50 young men shouldered their bamboo rifles and came to attention in a perfectly orchestrated drill.

Just Strange!

Be A Good Citizen; Support Your Government

Do this because they are the government, and you're not!*

* The writer of this blog endorses a republican form of government and not DEMOCRACY

Gotta love Charley Reese

Jefferson Davis, one of America's greatest statesmen, said that a question settled by violence would inevitably arise again, though at a different time and in a different form.
And so it has. Lovers and sycophants of the great empire on the Potomac must be feeling uneasy that at least some Americans are again questioning the efficacy of a gargantuan central government.
Perhaps the recent shift of control of Congress to the Democrats has made them nervous, though God knows there are precious few Jeffersonian Democrats in the modern Democratic Party.
And what, you might well ask, is a Jeffersonian Democrat? He's a person who hasn't forgotten that the sovereign states created the federal government, not the reverse, as some today seem to assume. He believes that what the Constitution created was a republic of sovereign states, and that the carefully limited powers assigned to the federal government were all the powers it had, in peace or in war. He believes the Constitution is a binding contract, not a rubbery document that can mean anything a judge or a politician says it means. He believes in a system of checks and balances. In short, he believes in the Declaration of Independence.
That document, you might recall, says that the only purpose of government is to protect rights already granted by God, and that when a government fails to protect those rights and begins to abuse them, the people have the right to alter or overthrow it. "Sounds communistic to me," grumbles old Jack Jingoist. "That guy Jefferson must have been some kind of a pinko."
Why else would Lord Acton, the great British philosopher of liberty, have written to Robert E. Lee, America's greatest soldier, that, "I grieve more for what was lost at Appomattox than I rejoice at what was gained at Waterloo." Lord Acton saw clearly what many American professors of history do not – that the defeat of the South was the end of America's experiment in liberty and self-government and a conscious choice to emulate the central governments of Europe.

Leviathan, Big Brother or whatever you want to call it will come to an end of its own design. The devices which are used to construct a gargantuan government that saps the freedom and spirit of its people for any reason sows the seeds of its own destruction.

It's just a shame the people have to endure its tyranny while waiting for the inevitable collapse.

And so it begins.

The Dollar is Falling. The Dollar is Falling.

By Jerome R. Corsi© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
Two analysts who have reconstructed money supply data after the Fed stopped publishing it argue a coming dollar collapse will set the stage for creating the amero as a North American currency to replace the dollar.
The reconstructed M3 data – the broadest measure of money – published on econometrician Gary Kuever's website, NowAndFutures.com, shows M3 increased at a rate of 11 percent in May, compared to 9 percent when the Federal Reserve quit publishing M3 data earlier this year.
Asked why the Fed decided to stop publishing M3 data, Kuever told WND, "The Fed probably wants to hide how much liquidity is being pumped into the market, and I expect the trend to keep pumping liquidity into the market will continue, especially since the economy is slowing down."

Why is this important?
"The trend line in my M3-plus-debt chart is staggering," Kuever said. "There has been a straight, long-term trend line of M3-plus-credit increasing since 2000. Long-term, we are creating inflation and the dollar has lost almost 98 percent of its value in the past 100 years."
Kuever, a retired investor, is concerned that with growing budget and trade deficits "the dollar could collapse."
"Especially if the Fed cannot increase rates, because we have already entered a recession," he said.

Bob Chapman, who issued a reconstructed M3 estimate to the 100,000 subscribers to his newsletter, "The International Forecaster", agrees.
"The world is awash in money and credit," Chapman told WND. "My numbers show M3 increasing at about a 10-percent rate right now."
Chapman believes the U.S. economy entered a recession in February. In his newsletter of Dec. 9 he predicted the Fed would hold interest rates at 5.25 percent.
"The Fed is in a very tough spot here," Chapman wrote, "If they raise rates, the real estate market will collapse, and if they lower rates, the dollar will collapse."
Meeting yesterday, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee voted, as Chapman had predicted, to hold the overnight lending rates between banks steady at 5.25 percent. This was the fourth straight meeting the Fed had voted not to change rates. In its rate announcement, the Fed affirmed the economy had slowed.
Almost immediately after the announcement of the Fed's decision, the dollar weakened to a new 20-month low against the euro, with currency markets reportedly pricing in the expectation the Fed will be forced to lower rates next year to bolster the economy. Following the announcement by the Fed, the U.S. Dollar Index, or USDX, also dropped, with the dollar going below 83.
A dollar collapse is imminent, Chapman declared.
"Technicians studying the USDX think there is a support level for the dollar at 75, but I don't think so."
How low could the dollar go?
"If the dollar breaks through 78.33 on the USDX," Chapman answered, "my guess is the dollar will go through a 35-percent correction, which would put it at 55."
"The key in how low the dollar goes is the interest rates," Chapman told WND. "In January, the Fed is going to have to make a decision which way to go. If Fed rates go up, the dollar will hold in the 78.33 range, but the stock market and the economy will tank. If next year the Fed lowers rates to keep the economy from crashing, the bottom will fall out of the dollar, and I see it going as low as 55. Once the dollar hits bottom, it will take the stock market and the economy right with it anyway. The Fed is in a box they can't get out of."

How severe will the coming dollar collapse be?
"People in the U.S. are going to be hit hard," Chapman warned. "In the severe recession we are entering now, Bush will argue that we have to form a North American Union to compete with the Euro."
"Creating the amero," Chapman explained, "will be presented to the American public as the administration's solution for dollar recovery. In the process of creating the amero, the Bush administration just abandons the dollar."

It is an immutable truth that all fiat currencies fail sooner or later. Ours is only going to take about 93 years to live out its (useful to those who created and benefit from it) life.

And then the Amero will come to save us all.

It's never a good sign when your nightmares become a reality.

Three cheers for what's left of American sovereignty.

Don't Think It's Dignified to Urinate In A Cup

BRONSON - Levy County's public libraries are struggling to get books checked out or reshelved because retirees who usually handle many of those chores have balked at a requirement that they "pee in a cup" as part of a mandatory drug test for all county volunteers."It's not like we are a high-risk group for coming in drunk or high or stoned or whatever," said one volunteer. "This is just a common-sense issue - why are we spending tax money to test 75-year-old grandmothers for marijuana? We should be using that money to buy more books and computers."The situation has gotten to the point where the pool of 55 volunteers has dwindled to two and the number of hours worked by volunteers in the county's five libraries plunged from 330 in September 2005 to 11 this September, according to county library records. None of the former volunteers contacted by The Sun wanted to be publicly identified in a story about drug-testing.

Even when government policies harm the government, they can't begin to address what problems they have brought upon themselves. Grandma and Grandpa can't even volunteer anymore without harrassment. Drug tests for Senior Citizens? The only imagination that can come up with a proposal like this one is a bureaucrat's.

Everyone is a Racist!

THE SPLC STRIKES AGAIN

Patrick Buchanan is getting the "He's a white nationalist" treatment from the SPLC, and they're using their signature style of dubbing someone they disagree with a 'racist' by the guilt of association.

In fact, the book reflects racial views that have now veered to the extreme. White America is changing color, Buchanan argues -- "one of the greatest tragedies in human history." The Mexican government is involved in a plot to take over the Southwestern United States, and parts of this country already look like the "Third World." The segregated South wasn't all bad "culturally" -- blacks and whites were united, after all. America, despite what its founders wrote, was a nation formed not on the basis of creed but rather a homogenous ethnic culture. To put it plainly, State of Emergency is a white nationalist tract. The thesis is that America must retain a white majority to survive as a nation. It is rooted in a blood-and-soil nationalism more blood than soil. The echoes of Nazi ideology are clear and chilling. As Buchanan helpfully explained to John King, who was interviewing him in one of his several CNN appearances: "We gotta get into race and ethnic questions."
State of Emergency unapologetically reflects Buchanan's insistence on the centrality of race to the United States and its culture. "This idea of America as a creedal nation bound together not by 'blood or birth or soil' but by 'ideals' that must be taught and learned ... is demonstrably false," Buchanan writes in the book.
Simply put, America is not a nation of ideas. It is a nation of people -- white people. Buchanan is especially overt in making this case when he endorses the view of his late mentor and editor Sam Francis, that American and European civilizations could never have been created without the "genetic endowments" of whites. He goes on to describe discussions of race as "the Great Taboo"; to ignore the role of race, he adds, is "like not telling one's doctor of a recurring pain that could kill you."

Buchanan is Hitler himself, and the SPLC is the final authority on all things race.

Once again, to make his case in State of Emergency, Buchanan relies on a trove of extreme-right sources. His urgent call for thwarting the "invasion" of non-European immigrants leans heavily on material written by hate group members or postings on hate sites, with citations to nearly every sector of the hate movement, from neo-Nazis to neo-Confederates. He cites the work of white supremacist James Lubinskas; Edward Rubinstein, of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute; Clyde Wilson, a board member of the racist and secessionist League of the South; and Wayne Lutton, a veteran immigrant- and gay-hater. Buchanan also quotes Lutton's anti-immigrant hate journal The Social Contract.
Buchanan is equally schooled in hate from abroad, mentioning work of British white supremacist Derek Turner published in the American hate journal The Occidental Quarterly, which argues "the civilization and free governments that whites have created" will collapse as they become a minority. And Buchanan knows the oldies-but-goodies, quoting English politician Enoch Powell approvingly at the beginning of his final chapter. Powell was dumped by the Tory leadership in 1968 for claiming that non-white immigration would cause "rivers of blood" to flow in Britain; he has been a white nationalist icon ever since. (In the book, Buchanan claims Powell was essentially correct in his analysis of the problem, but that his "Rivers of Blood" speech was taken out of its original context and distorted.)
Buchanan is especially enamored of his deceased friend Sam Francis, the white supremacist who was fired in 1995 by The Washington Times for breaking the "race taboo" and went on to a 10-year career editing the Citizens Informer, a bimonthly newsletter put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens, which grew out of the segregationist White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and '60s. Far more than Buchanan's friend and editor, Francis was his mentor. Buchanan knows Francis' racist oeuvre inside and out, citing some seven Francis pieces. Buchanan's basic argument in State of Emergency -- America should be a white country and dark-skinned immigrants threaten it -- was made by Francis for years.
Now, through his old friend Buchanan, Francis continues to be heard from beyond the grave.

The SPLC is an organization that doesn't likes to discuss the issues, that is beneath them, seeing as they have found the true and proper way to conduct the affairs and people of a nation, regardless of what the people of a nation want themselves. So they trot out the tried and true line of reasoning. R knew A who knew C who quoted I on a website created by S who went to a high school dance with T. RACIST!

With fool proof intellectual arguments like this, we can be thankful that the SPLC is working for their own purse. There is no debate at the SPLC, only smearing and insinuation.

No one is illegal. Except illegals.

INVASION USACampus protesters quash Minuteman speechStorm stage in near riot, forcing security to whisk away founder Gilchrist

Protesters storm stage at Columbia University (WND photo)Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist was attacked by angry, violent protesters last night who stormed the stage during his speech at Columbia University in New York City, forcing an abrupt end to the event.
An African-American member of the Minuteman board who spoke prior to Gilchrist was taunted with the "n-word," according to WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
Corsi had been scheduled to follow Gilchrist with a speech of his own, but after university security personnel whisked the Minuteman leader offstage, the New York Young Republican Club meeting was shut down.
A video of the chaos at Roone Arledge Auditorium, shot by Columbia University Television, can be seen here.

Gilchrist told WND the "violent outburst is yet another indication that those who support illegal immigration are happy to use communist tactics in their intolerant determination to prevent the Minutemen from exercising their First Amendment rights."
A protester who spoke anonymously to the independent student newspaper Columbia Spectator said the stage takeover was planned.
"I don't feel like we need to apologize or anything. It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration."
Prior to the event, a group of protestors estimated by New York police to number around 200 assembled with placards and a loudspeaker to denounce Gilchrist and the Minutemen.
Slogans on the placards included, "Workers of the world unite! Same struggle, same fight!," and "Minutemen, Nazis, KKK! Racists, fascists, go away!"

Isn't that something else? Any group which insists that these united states enforce their immigration laws is a racist group. The college communists have told us so, and that is the end of the story. A good question to ask yourself is, who would president Bush back in the protest of the Minutemen, the lawful American Minutemen who are advocating the enforcement of our laws, or the vile, communist, illegal scum which try to silence those who try to speak their opinion? It isn't the American citizens, well maybe. In Bush's view of the world, Mexico and America are one country. He's been working on it for some time now and I fear we'll find out far too soon what that means to our forgotten republic.

"To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive."

The definition of political correctness is

FRANKLIN — A Confederate battle flag and the crack of rifle fire were two of the sights and sounds Civil War soldiers faced 140 years ago.
Yet top Franklin officials contend those things, each fraught with modern symbolism and conflicts, should not be present during a Nov. 30 ceremony to commemorate those killed during the 1864 Battle of Franklin.
Mayor Tom Miller is urging that a color guard planned for the event not fly the Confederate flag. Police Chief Jackie Moore wants re-enactors to keep their rifles away from the ceremony.
"In the strongest terms possible, let me suggest that flag not appear," Miller told officials Monday night during a committee meeting to approve funding for the event.
Afterward, Miller acknowledged he might face criticism.
But he said he wants to avoid controversy that might come from flying the flag.
Moore said he wants to keep rifles away because of security issues.
"I do have serious concerns about the safety and our being able as a police department to vouch that firearms used and borne in this event are safe," Moore said.
While both men say they want to avoid conflicts, their stances have raised thorny issues about race and history.

With fellas' like these running things, you know we're getting a raw deal from government. This is just one of those nonsensical things! Expect more from our overlords.
