We Will Stand!
Acts 9:10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying, 12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” 13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” 17 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized; 19 and taking food, he was strengthened.
To my brothers on the left and my sisters on the right. To my sisters on the left and my brothers on the right...Come with me and let us stand together.We are all on this road called "Life" together.
God can use the even the most unexpected people in extraordinary ways to further His kingdom purposes. Is there someone in your life who seems so far away from God that he or she will never become a believer? Be encouraged and encourage each other. God's transforming power can bring us together to make the change that is needed in our lives.
I pray for the unsaved people in our world to take my hand, and together, we will stand!

You Need All Of Me
Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
My holy people; don't you know what I am doing? Don't you know what I am preparing? Don't you know what is happening at this time?
Many would try to characterize the moving of My Spirit as one thing or another. True, in times past I have emphasized water, fire, oil and other manifestations and giftings. However at this time I am pressing on to better things. Much better things. For the things of the past were merely introductions to what I am doing at this time.
Let Me usher you into a fuller knowledge of My Great love and as you begin to grasp the many faceted dimensions of My love, you will also be filled with all of Me. Isn't it clear by now ... you do not need just a particular part of Me ... you need all of Me.
Prepare your hearts, make room in your hearts for more of Me, for at this time I am filling those who will come with all the fullness of Me. All the fullness; do you understand that? I am not wanting to show you just one aspect of My love, not just one aspect of My anointing or giftings, but I want to show you all of Me and fill you with all of Me, so you can go into all the world and demonstrate all of Me to those I send you to.
Look for My lingering presence in times alone. You don't have to hype yourself up, but it is time to really enter into what Holy Spirit is offering at this time. I am offering this to whosoever will receive. Take time to receive. Don't beg, don't wail and cry, don't pray with endless words and pleas and don't work at it. No, it is time to enter into My Presence and receive.
Do you really understand the depths of God's love for you? We need to understand the width and length and depth and height of God's love for us, and that we will become rooted and grounded in that boundless love.
Ask God to reveal to you more and more of His love and to expand your capacity to receive this awesome love and fullness of God.

Bold As A Lion
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth" but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things. 6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
Murder an abomination to the Lord.
Be Bold as a Lion!
Thank you, Andrew. RIP
The Dead Horse Theory
The tribal wisdom of the Plains Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that: "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
And, of course...
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
All the above are logical reasons why we still have a Senate/Congress.

Gulag Earth
It's the Federal Government, Stupid! Step out of your little-local box. It's an Internet Reformation Revolution!
Every part of the modern system, from politics, to education, to business, to justice has been carefully crafted to fit together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle, each piece supporting the next. It is only when you step back and survey the whole at special times in history – and this era of the Internet is one such – that you can visualize the whole and appreciate the extraordinary and energetic mendacity of its power-elite builders.
Nation-states, patriotism, wars "on terror," money "printed from nothing," religious beliefs diverted to create more social tension, gender and income disparities utilized for the same purposes. Common Core, Smart Meters, Sustainable Living, Affordable Housing...all of it UN Agenda 21. UN mandated gun control, the Military Industrial Complex with endless wars and R2P. I can go on and on ... the web of control is mind-numbingly vast and intricate.
Divide-and-conquer is the strategy. And yet, it is perhaps coming to an end ... or at least evolving. The Internet Reformation is changing the narratives "on the ground." Too many have been exposed. Too much manipulation has been internalized. The system is surely broken. Western dysfunction is no accident, nor is the rise of the alternative media and alternative political movements including the Tea Party. And while the system to some degree has been broken deliberately by the very elites that put it in place, they may have forgotten it is easier to create chaos than to contain it, especially in this modern era.
What just happened in Washington DC is no aberration. For those with the courage to understand and the intelligence to internalize, these times offer tremendous risks and inordinate rewards. A great game is afoot and nowhere near ending...What has been hidden, has now been exposed. It's time t face the music....
See: Shutdown Ending but Larger Difficulties Remain
Unless this is understood, one will be baffled by what is transpiring during political disputes such as those that permeate current politics. Each side will declare the others motives devious, a matter of ill will, etc. Opposing parties will be demonized and one side will not listen to the arguments of the other since argument assumes the possibility of a rational outcome.
Far too many people listed to "hope" and "change" messages, then reacted as if looking in a mirror, feeling "Obama agrees with/cares about/understands me" without one shred of objective proof.The unfortunate acceptance by the general culture has resulted in an aimless wandering by the citizenry, who don't seem to have a clue about what is going on or why things are they way they are.
It's time to have a national referendum as opposed to a Muslin President deciding for us. And let the outcome be the end of it. The worse that can happen then is we will be force to live with the shortcomings of democracy when the peoples lack of self responsibility rule. Voter ID, substance abuse, education, etc should be a tested passage for the Election process and voting. Morality, criminality, radicalism, etc should be a tested passage to hold an Office.
So, its in this time of beautiful chaos that the elites consolidate their power. They will write a check to fuel the tanks if needed, they can find 500,000 people that's all they need to fight a war, with the kinds of weapons the US has built. 170 plus yrs. the US has been the military muscle of the elites. The problem with chaos is it is chaos, and things can and do go wrong which the elites cannot control. The issues for them are, "will they get all they want in one fell swoop or take a little now and work on the rest of their agenda later?" and that's where the Internet Reformation is a problem for them, information knowledge hurts them. The more people that know of their plans, those plans fail. And hopefully, more info web sites will spread the reality of truth, and the elites and their evil plans will fail.
Wake up people, if they win we live on GULAG EARTH.

Whispering Hope
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
When we think about our problems, we sink lower and lower, but thoughts about the goodness, mercy, kindness, and faithfulness of God gives us hope.
Having a hope in God's plan for us can be new every morning, and I am glad, because I am sure I use my allotted portion every day to ponder on His plan for me. I am grateful for a new and fresh start each day.
Learn to use your day in looking for that blessed Whispering Hope.

Breaking The Matrix-No Regrets

I regret that a few subscribers are dragging their heels in concluding that the Obama regime is corrupt, is consciously criminal, is brutal, is callously murderous, and is run by an international conspiracy to replace the U.S. with a World Government system which is run way off shore in an authoritarian mode - a conspiracy of so-called Globalist and Zionists, is accelerating a program of full spectrum dominance to strip U.S. citizens of their remaining rights, and accordingly needs to be terminated by impeachment as soon as possible..
Some people believe that these are overblown, unbalanced, lunatic or at least quacky ideas of extremist thinking and they suppose I have gone off the deep end. A few are getting twitty and un-subbing. For those writing me notes about it, here is my sincerely real and calm response.
Frankly, I personally feel more lucid, clear, conscious, and at peace in my internal processes than at any time in my life. I can see 40 year, 100 year, even millennial patterns of behaviors, sociologic, and maneuvering more and more in the bat of an eye and it gets better and better with each passing month. It becomes lucid when you drop your attachments to propositions which cannot be made to work and to historical ideas and myths which were never true. This is a vision skill which not many possess and it is very difficult to communicate from this perspective in a manner which does not leave a lot of people gasping occasionally. In the underground, this growth of discernment is called "the awakening" . It is massive, it is the historical wave which will define future decades.
I mainly summarize and report the conclusions which have been made by a generation of writers, analysts, scholars, scientists, a few prominent politicians, engineers (I especially like engineers), a few independently wealthy statesmen, and above all by a generation of highly skilled and brilliant journalists and professional researchers who have created an entirely new underground media which has within this last decade grown to displace the propaganda organs of the bankster Mafia families. To some extent, though very cautiously, I allow myself occasionally to be led a little by psychic sources of information. I do this only when it FITS the matrix of what is known.
In this new genre are hundreds of highly astute and informed people who are informally creating a network of intelligence operatives who have become the matrix for whistleblowers, people who bean by bean are spilling the beans which become the dots for painting the big picture. These several hundreds of real thinkers and assessors of real facts are surrounded now by tens of thousands who are operating organizations and web based communications which now reach collectively several hundred million people.
This motley crew is the historical wave change. There is a lot of poor thinking out there in this dimension, a lot of mistaken ideas, falsities, and out and out conscious lies and manipulations. All true. AND...the truth IS out there, really really out there and more and more accessible.
As an observer/reporter, I winnow it to come up with the best bottom lines I can. If I am mad, there are a lot of smarter and better informed people than I who are even madder. I also serve as a change agent by shifting the semantic universe to correspond to what a generation or researchers are finding.
Calling Rockefeller's associates a Mafia family is a deliberate strategy of shifting the semantic labeling of reality. Or calling the Globalists who operate directly under the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds as the R&R Caballleros (a pun on Cabal and the Spanish word for organized horsemen riding for some specific purpose). Again, a shifting of the semantic universe.
Or calling Obama's administration the Ziobama Regime, which points to the Jewish Crime Network which financed, orchestrated, and basically runs the professional side of Obama as a president. Or calling Obama "Bozobama" ;, which points to how goofy many of his moves now seem - a product of being seriously out of touch with what people are really doing behind the words which he reads from the teleprompter - a serious semantic call on Obama's personal competence to serve as President.
Some people take real offense at this activity, they just can't quite understand or get to a willingness to see that what has been accepted as "normal" can also be seen as a century of racketeering by mobsters who carefully control who gets close to them and of whom we can easily document will direct the murder of anyone whom they believe to be directly dangerous to their objectives of full-spectrum dominance, or wars....Some people for instance just accept that having a public stock market which is 95% controlled by Jews is some how normal. There is no statistical possibility that such is the normal outcome of random social dynamics. It is obviously the artifact of a deliberate racketeering enterprise which favors a small group of people to share mutual power for "the family" .
The modern wave of awakening began with the 911 scam and the wars which followed but I believe the awakening really began to emerge when more and more people took a look at the Federal Reserve, the oil oligarchy, and Woodrew Wilson's capitualization to the banksters to lead the U.S. into WWI, a war so un-necessary that history books have given up trying to explain it. He lived to regret it and warned people that the country had been taken over by a small group of plutocratic bankers. FDR was almost deposed by them in a putsch but Smedly Butler, U.S. Marine Corps Chief of Staff foiled them. Later FDR warned people that in politics "nothing happens by accident" .... savor the words NOTHING BY ACCIDENT.
Truman, a machine creature somewhat like the current Democratic Party leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, was led hook line and sinker into authorizing the National Security State to deal with the Communist (and UFO) menace. He later regretted it and admitted the CIA to be a serious mistake.
Eisenhower, the all general' s general, warned Americans starkly that the military-industrial -academic scientific complex was too powerful and had to be carefully watched to keep it from destroying the fabric of traditional American life and freedoms. Of course it never was, it has largely disappeared from public view, occasionally losing a trillion, give or take a trillion, in assets, as the DOD has itself admitted...
Uff dah! With a trillion dollars, you can run an awful lot of mad mad secret schemes.
JFK planned to fix the mistakes, he began to undermine the Federal Reserve by authorizing silver dollars and in fact he even began to prepare the public by a profoundly disturbing speech in which he revealed that a long term conspiracy deeply imbedded in the U.S. had plans to take over the world and thus was a serious threat to the American People. (he was not talking about the communists). He planned as his initial moves to curb the Cabal to severely clip the CIA and pull its assassins and thugs out of Viet Nam. He was murdered shortly after his revelatory warning.
You think any of this is random drama? Do you think any of this is an accident of history? Any of it,from Wilson to JFK? As a foggy headed heir to quasi-liberal, quasi-progressive thinking, I thought so a long time ago.....just the flow of a lot of events none of which really fit into any sensibility. But the solution was/is simple. You just have to start thinking about this stuff. How does it fit? How does it not fit.? What a jigsaw puzzle, eh? Anybody who does so sooner or later realizes that the academic Globalist secular scientific view (Saruman The Wise), which can and has rationalized enormously huge booboos, offers very very little understanding of what is truly meaningful and worthy, only Colbert' s "truthiness of rhetorical formalities based largely on fragmented, one-dimensional analytics in a moving God universe. A fundamental conclusion largely comes eventually to be formed around the simple admission that the human species does not have enough intelligent members who can organize intelligently to authoritatively use the powers which scientific sorcerers and the mobs have conjured. "The Ring of Power" overcomes the best of intentions. Accordingly, we must feel our way to liquidating it and allowing humanity to return to the scale of community consciousness.
Do you think it coincidence that this central metaphor "the Ring of Power" was injected into human mass consciousness at this time of world struggle with the Cabal seeking to dominate all aspects of life. It was an accident, right, that a skilled linguist and student of human mythology and ancient literature distilled the central concepts of the epic struggle of individualism, collectivism and war from many peoples and composed the fabulous story of "The Lord of the Rings", which provides a mystical meme which plants central concepts for the struggle for peace and freedom. This meme is so powerful in the human subconscious, Alex Jones, who reaches an audience of some 15 million a week, is now regularly referring to Washington DC as "Mordor" .
So NO, no regrets in calling out the central dynamics, even as Christ did. All wars are rackets and ALL THE ARISTOCRACIES AND PLUTOCRATS are the racketeers and always have been. The commandment from the anciently wise "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is the beginning, the very beginning of human freedom and civilized life. What, then, are you to make of a man who claims to be president of a Republic and claims unilaterally the right to kill anyone he deems necessary at any time by any means his men think cool?
What do you suppose to make of that?
DEAL WITH THAT CONTRADICTION. FULLY GROK AND ALLOW IT TO FLIP YOU TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF HUMANITY AND ITS HISTORICAL STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME THE BULLIES....
....and then feel welcome in the EC clubhouse. Otherwise, well, you can still hang out even if you have decided to make yourself feel unwelcome..
Be of good cheer, I do not drool.....yet.
Best Wishes, Michael Mandeville

Patrick Henry said it, "Rise Up!"
I
cannot stress enough times that the American public for the most part
is blissfully clueless to the history of our great nation. Today, the
majority believe capitulation and comprise are a formidable plan for
having a sound government. But I say to you that capitulation and
compromise are the spine and intestinal fortitude of the feckless and
craven. Capitulation and compromise are the attributes of those who
seek gain at our expense.
Patrick Henry understood this truth well.
March 23, 1775, from St.
John's Church in Richmond Virginia, Henry said: "Our petitions have been
slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and
insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been
spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne.In vain, after
these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation.There is no longer any room for hope.If we wish to be free, if we mean
to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have
been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble
struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our
contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must
fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
"Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Our enemies are not hidden. They are those who oppose the will of We the People and those who would render our traditions and Constitution of no effect. We must rise up with one accord and refuse to obey a government that seeks to imprison us for daring to demand our right to exercise independence. Many years ago men and women gave their lives so we could enjoy freedom. Will we now decide their blood and sacrifice meant nothing?
It's time to rise up and tell Obama and all politicians who abuse us, "We will not suffer same quietly." The power lies with us. It is time we understood that. Let's say no to an over-reaching and parasitic government engorging itself on We the People. A government that seeks to regulate our thoughts and behavior and that seeks to control the extent of our freedoms.

Knock, Knock, "Is Anyone Home?"
US government "shut down"? Of course, only for the people because all the most heinous parts of it is kept working... the IRS (collecting money but not giving refunds, though, of course), CIA, FBI (busting the free-market Silk Road), NSA, DEA, ATF (except for processing gun permits, of course) and countless others.
That can be seen in the Daily Treasury Statement for Oct. 2, just two days into the shutdown where the Treasury spent a total of $63.262 billion in the first two days of fiscal 2014. At the same time, it took in $25.681 billion in tax revenue. The Treasury also sold $1.648 billion in new Treasury securities--which is government debt.
Not much seems to have been shut down at all, unfortunately, and the few actually noticable things that have shut down so far are national parks, the Air Force-Navy football game and they have made it so overseas troops can't watch NFL or MLB playoff games! It is so blatantly obvious that it isn't a real "shutdown" at all and only meant to try to cut off the few things that the federal government does provide that people enjoy!
This, from the Washington Times:
The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies. The rangers are from the government, and they’re only here to help.
“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.” Yes, you read that right. The federal governnment is even shutting down parks they don't own and explicitly telling park rangers to guard it and to "make life as difficult for people" as they can! I thought those park rangers were all "shut down"? Not so fast... the national parks are shut down but now the park rangers and police are there to make sure you can't get in!
In the meantime, a woman who was taking incredibly dangerous drugs of the type that every mass-shooter has taken in the US in the last few decades, physchotropic pharmaceuticals, all approved by the FDA, by all accounts was having a mental episode at the capitol. Her family later said that she thought "Obama was watching and listening to everything she was doing"... and she was right. The NSA is watching and listening to everything anyone in the US does. And it also gives the populace another chance to "see" into the world of CIA PcsyOps. Her sisters are now reporting the woman heard "microwave voices."
According to the media, she then "rammed a barrier" although no marks on the front of her car whatsoever and the first real evidence we have is of this woman with her baby in the car surrounded by dozens of militants waving guns and banging on her car. all the mean while, A DC Security drill was being conducted by DHS....yes, People, do you think it may be time to wake up to reality?
Hundreds of police did finally catch up to the unarmed, 34-year-old dental hygienist who was fleeing from them with her baby. Dozens of bullets tore through her black two-door Infiniti as she traveled and her body was so badly torn apart by the gunfire that in the end the gunmen were not even sure who it was they had killed.
For the daylight execution of a woman who was unarmed, with her baby and had not harmed anyone, Congress gave a standing ovation. You can't make this stuff up! Hello?
This whole shutdown thing being about Obamacare, as per the usual communist-style, centrally planned modus operandi hardly any of the Obamcare government websites were even functioning on October 1st when they were supposed to be launched. It's amazing isn't it when a semi-free-market entity like Facebook can handle billions of requests per hour while the government sites couldn't handle an influx of a few million in a day. But completely par for the course. After a few days some people were finally able to get in... and what they saw shocked them.
From Breitbart:
“I am so disappointed,” wrote one woman. “These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!” The comment received 169 “likes.”
“There is NO WAY I can afford it,” said one commenter after using the Kaiser Subsidy Calculator. “Heck right now I couldn’t afford an extra 10$ a month…and oh apparently I make to much at 8.55/hour to get subsidies.”
A single mother of two said she is in school and working full-time while living “75% below the poverty level.” She said she was shocked to learn she did not qualify for a healthcare subsidy. “Are you F’ing kidding me????” she wrote on the government’s Obamacare Facebook page. “Where the HELL am I supposed to get $3,000 more a year to pay for this ‘bronze’ health insurance plan!?!??? And I DO NOT EVEN WANT INSURANCE to begin with!! This is frightening,” she wrote.
These people have even more coming to them. If they don't pay they have to pay anyway... in the form of "penalties". In sports you actually have to do something to get a penalty... but as with all government concoctions it works the other way. If you don't do something, you get penalized.
So now if you don't want, or can't pay extra for your fascist, worse medical plan, you will be sent a bill in the mail. It's just another tax. And, like all government acts, it is the opposite of what it says it is. It is the Un-Affordable Health Care Act. And if you can afford it or get subsidies to receive it, you will be the subject of home "visits" by the government. It's right there in the bill. Health and Human Services will be conducting "visits" especially to those who meet this criteria:
a) Eligible families who reside in communities in need of such services, as identified in the statewide needs assessment required under subsection (b)(1)(A).
b) Low-income eligible families
c) Eligible families who are pregnant women who have not attained age 21.
d) Eligible families that have a history of child abuse or neglect or have had interactions with child welfare services.
e) Eligible families that have a history of substance abuse or need substance abuse treatment.
f) Eligible families that have users of tobacco products in the home.
g) Eligible families that are or have children with low student achievement.
h) Eligible families with children with developmental delays or disabilities.
i) Eligible families who, or that include individuals who, are serving or formerly served in the Armed Forces, including such families that have members of the Armed Forces who have had multiple deployments outside of the United States.
And if you don't pay their "penalties" for not wanting their "services" and don't pay likely because you can't, they will take away your driving permission (license), put a lien on your home and take it straight out of your bank account if you have any cash. You've got to hand it to them... they've instituted something worse than Nazi Germany all under the guise of "helping you". They don't even try to hide the fact that this is screwing the public in the US. The actual, real phone number to sign-up for Obamacare is 1-800-318-2596. Normally for a national number like this they use a number like 1-800-500-0000... or 1-800-MED-ICAL for people to easily remember or dial For those of you who still have a normal phone, 1-800-318-2596 is 1-800-FUCKYO (with the number one taken out). What are the odds of that? I would be LOL if it wasn't so frigg'in sickening that the people who claim to have some kind of intellect are following and swooning all over their "Master".....Slaves drinking Koolaid, I tell you. But who am I, right? Who am I? I'm a Wife w/a disabled husband, 4 grown Sons and a grandmother, daughter, sister, Aunt, and YOUR neighbor....Knock, knock, "Hello, Is anyone home?"

WARNING 2: Get Your House In Order!
Ecclesiastes 10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. 12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
This should give you more cause for concern. ALL of the lines are about to converge....
The World’s Most Evil Corporation Issues A Dire Warning
Goldman Sachs is the epitome of the word “evil.” If one wants to know what the evil central bankers are up to, one only needs to pay attention to the actions of Goldman Sachs. The power elite residing inside of this country does not begin and end with the Federal Reserve, that privilege is reserved for the interrelationship between Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, the corrupt World Bank and the IMF. And now, Goldman Sachs is running the European financial system into the ground as another Goldman Sachs boy, “Super” Mario Monti, has taken over Italy to finish off what is left of the Italian financial system. Monti is also the head of the European Trilateral Commission as well as a Bilderberg member. And yet another Goldman Sachs boy is finishing off the job in Greece. It is the mission of Goldman Sachs to implode the global economy with massive debt arising from the failed derivatives market, in which the debt totals 16 times the total.
GDP of the planet and that debt has been passed on to the governments of the world. There is no way that any country will ever pay off this debt. The world’s financial system will be collapsed and then reorganized under the Bank of International Settlement. Goldman Sachs is merely the grim reaper in this unholy process.
(Note: America' s current derivative exposure is almost 629 Trillion dollars: Far, far more than the value of all houses, buildings and land in America. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
The Goals of Goldman Sachs
The purpose of this article is to expose the three pronged attack, directed at the American people, by Goldman Sachs, and its partners at the Federal Reserve, the US Treasury Department, the IMF and the World Bank. These central banker controlled institutions are engaged in a plot which is designed to accomplish the following:
* The destruction of America’s domestic economy through the introduction of derivative debt which is 16 times greater than the world’s GDP. This goal has been accomplished as evidenced by the fact that America now has more workers on welfare (101 million) as opposed to actual full time workers (97 million).
* Setting the chessboard in such a way that WWIII is a foregone conclusion. This is near completion as the US and Israel are poised to go to war with China and Russia, over Syria and Iran, in order to preserve the Petrodollar.
* Initiating a false flag event which will culminate in martial law and the elimination to all opposition to both the coming WWIII and the imposition of a tyrannical world government as well as a one world economic system.
It is no secret that Goldman Sachs runs Wall Street. After the first bail out, Goldman Sachs cut the head off of Shearson Lehman and several other Wall Street competitors when they used their undue influence to determine winners and losers after the first round of TARP. Even Ray Charles could see that Goldman Sachs is in near complete control of our government as evidenced by the former Goldman Sachs gangsters who have run our economy into the ground (e.g., Clinton’s Secretary of Treasury Goldman Sachs’ Rubin, Bush’s Secretary of Treasury Goldman Sachs’ “too big to fail” Hank Paulson, etc.). Make no mistake about it, the introduction of the massive derivatives debt was a power consolidation move designed to collapse the economy and hand over essential control to Goldman Sachs and its partners.
History Repeats Itself
Today’s events parallel the imperialists of the early 20th Century which resulted in World War I. The Wall Street led depression of the 1930’s led to the rise of political extremism and ultimately to World War II. Today, Goldman Sachs and their fellow Wall Street cronies are currently running, or dare I say ruining the global economy and the consequences are going to result in the culmination of World War III from which these same gangster bankster’s will profit from the buildup, the death and destruction of billions of innocent people as well as profiting from the lucrative clean up which follows every war.
The ultimate prize for the coming war will be the ruination of the planet in order that the power structure of the earth can be reinvented in a manner that not even George Orwell could imagine. Remember, as the globalists like to say in reference to their favorite Hegelian Dialectic quote, “Out of chaos comes order.” Of course, it won’t be Goldman Sachs’ money that pays for the destruction of humanity in the coming world war. This coming war and its subsequent blood money will be your money and my money. It goes without saying that it won’t be the executives of Goldman Sachs children who are pressed into military service and will be eventually sacrificed on the battlefields of WWIII. It will be your children and my children who will be sacrificed in the name of furthering the bottom line of the Goldman Sachs Mafia and their masters at the Bank of International Settlement. Meanwhile, the Goldman Sachs children who will be safely tucked away as the world’s final chapter plays out as we know it.
Goldman Sachs Destroying the American Middle Class
This swath of international destruction being promulgated by Goldman Sachs is also being visited upon the daily lives of the American public here at home. Courtesy of the Goldman Sachs gangsters, there are no more safe financial havens for American citizens. Your bank account, your pension fund, your investment accounts and your home mortgages are no longer safe. These collective funds are not in jeopardy because of the risk of falling victim to the failing economy as much as these funds are subject to confiscation by Goldman Sachs and its shell corporations along with the complicit support of the federal government. Most of these public officials are former Goldman Sachs employees. A clear case in point lies in what happened with MF Global.
MF Global, a shell corporation beholding to Goldman Sachs, was led to the slaughter by the former Goldman Sachs executive and former New Jersey Governor and senator, John Corzine. Corzine’s criminal actions directly victimized 150,000 Americans by stealing an estimated $900 million dollars of his clients’ money from their supposedly secure private accounts. There is also another $600 million missing dollars from MF Global which is still unaccounted for today. Meanwhile, Corzine avoids sharing a prison cell with Bernie Madoff by purchasing a “get-out-of-jail card” through the sponsorship of a $35,000 per plate fundraiser for that great Wall Street puppet, Barack Hussein Obama. And what are the government watch dogs doing to protect our money from this new generation of robber barons? The short answer is that key federal officials are actually partners with Goldman Sachs in this monumental violation of the public trust. Take Gary Gensler, a former Goldman Sachs executive partner, who like so many other Goldman Sachs gangsters, have been placed into key governmental oversight positions in order to protect the Goldman Sachs co-conspirators from prosecution as they continue their reign of terror upon the global economy.…but a Goldman Sachs cop on the take.
Gary “the gangster” Gensler is the former Undersecretary of the Treasury (1999-2001) and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (1997-1999) and the current director of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In his position at the time of the MF Global debacle, Gensler had the authority to go after Corzine for his role in the MF Global theft of customer funds and order restitution. However, Gensler has decided to protect a fellow member of the Goldman Sachs Mafia by not looking into the massive fraud and theft by Corzine and his cronies. Your tax dollars, paying the salary of federal officials, are overseeing the most massive illegal private transfer of wealth in the history of the planet. And this debt is payable to Goldman Sachs and their criminal enterprise partners.
You may not be one of the current 150,000 Goldman Sachs/MF Global victims. However, this Robin Hood-in-reverse- scenario, in which the rich are plundering what’s left of the middle class, will soon be visited upon your bank account, your home mortgages and your pensions. Whether it is the MERS mortgage fraud or the theft being perpetrated upon Federal employee retirement accounts, these criminal banksters are in the process of stealing it all and what are you going to do about it? Our nation of entrenched sheep will do nothing. The American citizens are going to lie down and take their beating in the face of the largest unfolding criminal syndicate in human history.
While you and the rest of America are trying to collectively remove your “deer in the headlight” glaze, you, as an American, have far more serious issues to concern yourself with and you are not going to have to wait long to have your worst fears be born out.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Some, who have heard my expressed sense of outrage, have asked me if I favor a violent overthrow the United States Government. To that question, I answer in the negative. However, show me a way to be involved in the overthrow of the gangsters who have hijacked my country’s government, and I will be the first in line. However, before that day arrives, we have some very formidable obstacles to face with regard to what is looming just around the corner.
Goldman Sachs Is the Financial Kingpin of False Flag Attacks
If one wants to predict the next false flag attack, one merely has to watch the actions and the money movements of Goldman Sachs.
In the days leading up to the attacks on 9/11, Goldman Sachs “shorted” the sale of airline stocks which plummeted in the aftermath of the attacks. Just a coincidence you say?
In the days leading up to the housing bubble, Goldman Sachs shorted housing stocks which ignited the bubble. The Federal government fined Goldman Sachs, but in typical fashion, nobody went to jail. Just another coincidence you say?
As I documented in my seven part series, The Great Gulf Coast Holocaust, Goldman Sachs executed a “put option” for preferred insiders invested in Transocean stock, thus protecting the profits of these preferred insiders on the morning of the explosion. Transocean was the owner of the ill-fated oil rig. Goldman Sachs also sold the lion’s share of its stock less than two weeks before that fateful day on April 20, 2010. Nalco was the subsidiary of Goldman Sachs and BP at the time of the explosion. Who is Nalco? Nalco was the exclusive manufacturer of the deadly oil dispersant, Corexit. Corexit has done more to wreck the ecology of the Gulf as well as the health of the Gulf Coast residents than the oil spill itself. Again, this is all documented in my seven part series. By the way, I count another three coincidences in this paragraph alone and if you are keeping score, we are looking at a total of five amazing coincidences. But wait, there
is more!
The moral of this story is clear, if there is to be a significant false flag event, the financial actions of Goldman Sachs will prove to be the key. And Goldman Sachs’ actions have signaled yet another oncoming false flag. As I reported on in April, Goldman Sachs instructed its brokers to sell short on gold stocks. And then after the bulk of the gold market panicked and the price of gold plummeted in a massive sell off, the Goldman Sachs boys did it again. The Goldman Sachs brokers began to purchase gold in massive amounts, for its elite clients, at a greatly depressed price. By the way, Goldman Sachs employed the EXACT same strategy with regard to the Gulf Oil tragedy. When Goldman Sachs sold off BP stock in the days before the explosion, they purchased massive amounts of BP stock at a greatly reduced price in June of 2010. The coincidence meter is now up to seven.
Why Goldman Sachs Cornered the Gold Market
The global elite would only want massive amounts of gold because something bad is about to happen to the dollar. When the dollar collapses, the elite, courtesy of the Goldman Sachs brokers will be sitting in a great position in which they hold the only sustainable medium of exchange following the collapse. But when will the collapse come? What form will it take?
As I reported, less than two weeks ago, the Bank of International Settlement ordered the central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to greatly decrease loans as a protection to the coming bad financial times. So, now we are getting warned and the narrowing down of where this is leading, is getting easier to predict.
It is important to remember that Goldman Sachs and the rest of the international banking community desperately want to wage war in Syria and eventually Iran over the demise of the Petrodollar caused by Iran in which they are selling oil for gold to India, China and Russia. There is also big money to be made by the banks in an upcoming global conflict. More importantly, and just as the world witnessed in the aftermath of WWII, consolidation of power can be achieved following a major war. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and the rest of the international bankers are not about to let China and Russia thumb their noses at the prevailing economic system. Gold will not be allowed to be used as a medium of exchange for nation states, because a nation on the gold standard, is a nation that controls its debt levels and financial security. This is unacceptable to the central bankers who kill national leaders, such as Gadaffi and Sadam Hussein, for daring to break from the plan and achieve financial independence. What the globalists also need is a game changing event which will destroy all opposition to the coming war. And the financial intentions of Goldman Sachs clearly speaks to the fact that a false flag attack is imminent which will implicate Syria and Iran and provide the pretext for the US and Israel to attack.
The Nature of the Coming False Flag Attack
The coming false flag attack which will plunge America into martial law, for our own protection of course, will result in WWIII. The false flag event could take two forms. It was reported two weeks ago, that the US was missing a nuclear weapon from a military base in Texas. This prompted Senator Lindsay Graham to state that the harbor in Charleston, SC. would be nuked if the US did not attack Syria. This is the first scenario.
The other scenario, and the far more likely one, has the power grid going down on November 13th. The Grid Ex II drill being conducted by DHS, FEMA, 150 corporations and the 50 governors, will simulate a power grid take down by terrorists on that same date. How many times have we witnessed a drill which turns into a false flag attack? This happened with 9/11, the 7/7 bombings and the Boston Marathon. There is a good chance it is going to happen here.
In this scenario, once the grid is taken down, a banking collapse can be instituted and most will not notice because by the third day of a blackout, total chaos will ensue and nobody will be paying attention to the banks. Martial law will be imposed and Syria and Iran will be blamed.
The CEO of Goldman Sachs, Llloyd Blankfein, is on the record stating that an economic collapse is imminent. Need I say more?
Conclusion
Regardless of the form that an upcoming false flag event will follow, Goldman Sachs has tipped their false flag hand. A false flag event is coming and it is a safe bet that it will culminate in martial law. This would certainly explain DHS’ collecting of 2.6 billion rounds of ammunition and 2700 armored personnel carriers. There is also going to be a resulting third world war. The globalists know humanity is waking up. They are running out time and they are desperate. This could all be over in a few months. Do you not feel the collective sense of dreaded anticipation that has overtaken the country? At the unconscious level, we all know what is coming.
The November power grid drill is worth watching and I predict in the upcoming weeks, there will be many articles written about how to survive the coming events. I would advise all to pay attention, but most of all, I would advise people to get their spiritual affairs in order. We come into the world with nothing and all we leave with is the sum total of our spiritual experiences. It is time to attend to that detail in the present time frame.
My Analysis
As I was reading this, and seeing all the pieces that I've known about, put together as puzzle pieces, one aspect really struck me in the face...Our Lord and Savior. He will not let the evil forces destroy all of humanity. I see Him appearing in the Valley of Gideon. When the Nations Army's are gathered to war, 2 million in population, He will appear and strike them down. The blood of men will be as deep as the horses bridle. (Our tanks and weapons in our day is the horses and swords Christ told us about). We came in to this world naked and with nothing. We will leave with just our souls and spiritual beings. Get YOUR house in order and get right with the Living God. It is time, in the next few weeks to prepare for trails and tribulations the likes that we have never seen. God Help us and be with you!
WARNING: Out Go The Lights!
John 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Over
these last few years there have been numerous, shall I call "Watchmen
on the wall", being called 'fear monger's, tin-foil hat wearers, etc" on
more than one occasion. I, too have been labeled and I along with
others, have no problem with that because we all SHOULD be afraid of
what's about to hit. More and more people have come to understand and
recognize what I and others have been warning about for years but some
still refuse to see reality even as it stares them right in the face.
This excerpt is about Bart Chilton. Bart
Chilton, you ask?...Yes, one of the "watchmen" that has been on the
fore-front of criminal charges brought against the banking cartels.
Well... What can we say at this point? Has total lawlessness taken hold
now that Bart couldn't get that conviction he wanted in the silver
manipulation case? Maybe...but the following statement released last
Friday night (from out of the blue) may just be Bart's final "I told you
so!" moment... The following link is of utmost importance for
you to click so as to get....and BELIEVE....what is about to occur.
Unless you click that clink, you will still be in the dark. Read on,
please...
Boom, Boom, Out Go the Lights
Statement of CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton
September 20, 2013
On
September 30th, at the stroke of midnight, our country will face a
government shutdown unless a continuing resolution to fund it is
adopted. That would be grave news for consumers.
Under
a shutdown scenario, government regulators will be handcuffed in our
ability to go after crooks who are trying to evade our over sight and
protection of markets. You can bet the "do-badders" are licking their
chops.
The dark
markets that Dodd-Frank brought into the light of day will go dark
again. The lights will go out. Given the huge growth in the
derivatives industry and our new oversight of swaps, CFTC's market
oversight functions are more important than ever. Taking our cops off
the beat for even a few days could have disastrous impacts on these
markets that consumers depend upon.
In
the longer term, I remain concerned about the stagnant budgetary
circumstances and am convinced that a targeted transaction fee on
trading, like the one the President has proposed to Congress, is needed
to fund the agency and keep the markets safe. But for now, let's avoid a
"Boom, Boom, Out Go the Lights" debacle, and hope a deal can be reached
to keep the lights on.
END
There
is no doubt in my mind that we are approaching the abyss that Bart is
hinting at. The chaos that transpires from there will both test our
resolve as well as our strength to endure as a species...yes, it is that
big.
Imagine an economic system with NO watchdogs. No cops on the beat. No one to stop manipulation. No one to stop the Bad Guys from stealing all your wealth. Stealing all of the gold and silver in every ETF warehouse. Stealing all your ASSETS for that matter. In a nut shell - orchestrating their END GAME.
We shall see what happens in the coming weeks but for me it all screams one thing...

GET OUT OF THEIR SYSTEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
Physical silver, in your hand, out of their reach is the way to go. If

your family. I have more to add in my next "post" that ties this puzzle

Until The Storm Passes By
The more the politicians try to talk frantically with great concern about the need to support Obama and the various national security programs, Obamacare, UN Gun Treaty, yada, yada, yada, the more ridiculous they look and sound.
GOD HAS PULLED THE PLUG.
The solar atmosphere absolutely, undoubtedly, has a profound impact on the emotional behaviors of the human field. If you dampen down content, you dampen down the emotional reactivity of human beings. This leaves a condition in which the mental faculties of reason have the upper hand. Doubt can rein in many a feeling. Thus at the moment, humanity is rationally mulling many facts and ideas to sort out choices for logical activity. In this LOW energetic environment, the war whores are simply flapping around looking rather like what they are, jive-ass war whores desperately attempting to hook you emotionally.
How can you be so disinterested, they asked rhetorically sometimes, it’s all for your security.
I say, "Yeah right you sick batch of bozos. How can you people be in such positions and be so mentally and emotionally ill? Your insanity is the 11th wonder of the world. I and about 300 million Americans are SO out of your weird sick bizarro bushobama world. They (the Americans), and I found nothing but lies and illusions in the claims of the war whores, thus we stood still and said "No" loudly enough to be heard. The war promotion failed miserably and will continue to fail miserably." For the next while, keep the faith and the true intent, keep saying No everywhere. “No” pushes World War III back under the bed with the other hobgoblins, witches, and boogiemen.
KEEP THE SPIRITUAL VIGIL.
Above all, keep the Vigil every evening, when the kiddies are all tucked in bed, take the time to meditate and pray, affirm, and or just sit intentfully in the desire for our Lord to protect us, His children. Visulize divine energy with divine guidance for how to resolve all issues without violence.
Or something along these lines, I am not telling you how to manifest your intent to see wars and killings averted. I'm just hoping that as many people as possible will parallel their prayer/energy to achieve a much greater peace and world wide awakening.
Until the storm passes by....

A Bad Moon Rising-CCR
“Hope
you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks
like we’re in for nasty weather. One eye is taken for an eye.”
~John Fogarty, Credence Clearwater Revival, A Bad Moon Rising
It certainly looks as if world events are funneling us toward a
horrific end to a way of life most of us in my age group and older at
one time referred to as life in these United States.
The inmates are running the asylum and criminals have taken over our government. Children graduate from schools, even so-called institutes of higher learning, with life skills in extremely short supply with the exception of knowing how “to feel” about almost everything.
Our Constitution is a fictional myth, seldom if ever adhered to, especially by those who swear a sacred oath to uphold and defend.
Exams are required to become certified in many fields of endeavor, but even though a sacred oath to the Constitution is required of all elected and appointed government officials, in all cases being the primary one, there is no qualification exam to determine the extent of knowledge they possess in what in actuality is their most important job. If there were, the great majority of those in the laughable profession of government service, especially those in black gowns and those wearing badges, would have a difficult time graduating from Constitution Kindergarten.
When a conservative giant in the legal profession, Antonin Scalia, states constitutional issues are decided by the side with the most powerful army and a local cop believes all that is required to search a person or their home is “reasonable suspicion,” the simple basics of constitutional governance are shot to hell.
When a right-wing Supreme Court Justice believes universal health care is a tax and a Marxist Socialist president believes all that is required to perpetrate a war on those who have not attacked us is his say so; what is and what is not constitutional is subject to the whims of criminals and idiots.
When an administrator in our local schools becomes apoplectic at the thought of a student defending his/herself from an unprovoked attack by another student and defines such an act as “escalating the violence,” and a local cop believes driving around taking pictures of license tags of visiting bikers is somehow protecting us citizens, we have lost our collective minds and do not understand the concept of “Natural Rights” such as those enumerated in our Declaration of Independence.
When an act of defending one’s self from an attack by a teenage gang-banger in Florida is “racist” because the person who defended themself was of another skin pigmentation, but the horrible death, burning and dismemberment of a young man and his girlfriend in Knoxville, Tennessee by four criminals of the same skin pigmentation as the gang-banger in Florida is not racist, there is no sanity in our country.
When our government feels it necessary to strip search elderly women and check formula bottles of infants before they can board a plane and that by doing so they are protecting us citizens from acts of terrorism, but believes allowing tens of thousands of potential terrorists to simply walk across our unprotected borders is “progressive” thinking, we are collectively insane.
When we have cities in this country with a no-tolerance level for public firearms ownership, several of which where hundreds are killed and thousands wounded each year from gunshot wounds and the idea is discussed and voted upon that the way to end the violence is to disarm the law-abiding citizens of this country and place them at the mercy of armed criminals and corrupt cops, the Bad Moon has risen.
When elements within our government believe no one should be allowed to possess so-called assault weapons, yet these same governmental idiots freely engage in providing criminal gangs with these same weapons and then tell lies about doing so that 4 year olds would not believe, the inmates are definitely running the asylum.
When government employees wearing badges can perpetrate acts of violence and criminality with total impunity, but the citizens of their particular jurisdiction are saddled with huge monetary awards because of those criminal acts, true justice and individual responsibility for one’s actions are a pipe-dream.
When a professional soldier of several decades realizes that the great majority of those he was forced to kill in battle had more honor and integrity in the tip of one finger than the vast majority of government employees and politicians in our country today, the Bad Moon is full and has reached its apex.

When a professional soldier of several decades realizes that the great majority of those he was forced to kill in battle had more honor and integrity in the tip of one finger than the vast majority of government employees and politicians in our country today, the Bad Moon is full and has reached its apex.

Open Letter To POTUS Barack Obama By Cynthia J. Quinn
Dear Barack Obama,
As the last of the bikers disappeared from the streets of our nation’s capitol on 9/11, your overactive propaganda machine immediately attempted to sweep the widely successful Bikers March under the progressive political rug. Where was the non-stop coverage, the interviews, the photographed iconic still shots? Where were the newspapers with their front pages headlining this important national event? Where were the fickle politicians who normally love to steal the limelight and flash their teeth whitened smiles? Should I be surprised, Barack, that in the Marxist Land of Nod, your state run gaggle of media were found yawning at their desks during the Bikers March?
The patriotic bikers who rode into town that September day in a dauntless display of gutsy glory left a lasting impression in the American conscience that will continue to warm the cockles of the hearts of this nations citizens for many months to come. The Bikers March was an embattled cry that “We the People” refuse to put up with a minority group intent on changing America for their own selfish intentions and foreign religious doctrine. The baseless “Million Muslim March” quickly melted and disintegrated from the extreme heat of the patriotic torch that our bikers so gallantly ignited and held high for all to see.The Statue of Liberty grew a foot taller with pride that day and our American flag flew more brilliantly in the breezy blue Washington D.C. sky. In an attempt to dampen the mission and passionate spirit of the Bikers March, the necessary permit to caravan past the Veterans Memorials in a gesture of respect and honor to our fallen troops was at the last minute denied.Your government ploy to suppress and hopefully discourage the committed bikers did not succeed and in spite of the rebuff, they roared on with increased resolve. Barack, your hand-picked Judas’s who denied the well-intentioned request had better get used to the idea that God will probably deny them the necessary permit to share the heavenly realms of his kingdom with the same brave heroes they arrogantly managed to snub. God does not easily hand out permits either.
Barack, you may wonder why the Bikers March was so uniquely special and profoundly different from all the other demonstrations that have taken place in Washington D.C. in recent memory. The simple explanation can be found in the many untampered history books that recount the heroic stories of hundreds of selfless patriots who fought for America’s freedom and whose philosophy was to “live free or die.” In short, the commonality between our leaders of the past and the evident backbone of the biker movement was simple; courageous conviction. Over 800,000 freedom loving American bikers took a bold stand based on principles and values, and courageous conviction oozed out of every drop of sweat on their determined brows. Uncompromising aplomb rumbled and roared on that sparkly sunny September day and resounded loudly in the belly of middle America, making its ecstatic citizens wish the day long demonstration of patriotism would never end. The Bikers March was an astounding display of pent up emotion and, like a scorned lover who has been jilted too many times, “We the People” suddenly fell in love all over again. Our racing hearts skipped a beat and tears of joy trickled down our faces as we all felt the same intense hope of a new dawn, the rising of a new day refreshed with revitalized optimism for a better America
.
That same courage of conviction that our bikers defined so well, is the missing piece to the current bureaucratic puzzle, the piece that must be put back into place in order to unite this great nation. Unfortunately for us Barack, you and the other bureaucrats in our nation’s capitol make your decisions and resulting legislative actions by holding wet pointer fingers up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing on that particular day. You base and guide opinions on the latest rigged liberal polls that reflect the desires of the minorities and illegal immigrants who have been tagged as potential partisan voters. You do not pray to God for wise direction as our forefathers did and instead seem eager to remove him from all public discourse.
As you and your fellow Marxists are fully aware, the devil finds a ready home in the vacuous empty minds of listless souls who do not actively exercise their Judeo-Christian beliefs. Knowing that, your scheming government is intent on placing a stifling spiritual stranglehold on America’s wayward sheeple by subsidizing them with the latest false idols meant to hypnotize and placate. Most good Americans, however, abhor your atheistic ideology and are cringing while watching you build your Tower of Babel out of man-made materials instead of the more desirable and durable God- made materials. While building this monument to yourself, you Barack, are sacrificing the sovereignty of America with your selfish treasonous acts. That is where Americans draw the red line and with courage and conviction will see to it that your ill conceived tower of deception will crumble and fall.
The Bikers March trumpeted the beginning of a new movement, a new sense of responsibility that fully recognizes the seriousness and grave danger of a society that does not care enough to “live free or die.” We will remain true in our public actions, just as we remain true in our personal actions because we know that God cannot be fooled. Cowardice saps the courage of other good people so we will remain strong and fearless. God has taught us to trust him and to “be not afraid” and we will be emboldened and protected by his almighty promise and shield of faith. Our power will be based on truth, virtue, and the perseverance and desire to save America for our children and future generations.
America is an exceptional nation and those of us who take our sole direction from God know that we are extremely blessed to be alive in this important “season” in time, that we are the harbingers who will issue in a new chapter in the history of the United States of America. With great resolve, we will once again restore this blessed land from sea to shining sea and faithfully pledge our allegiance under God. We will fulfill our purpose and ordinary citizens will become extraordinary ones. The famous quote by Japanese Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor says it all, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.” The Bikers March is only the beginning.
Sincerely,
Cynthia J Quinn

Letter To An Unknown Whistleblower
How the Security State’s Mania for Secrecy Will Create You
By Tom Engelhardt
Dear Whistleblower,
I don’t know who you are or what you do or how old you may be. I just know that you exist somewhere in our future as surely as does tomorrow or next year. You may be young and computer-savvy or a career federal employee well along in years. You might be someone who entered government service filled with idealism or who signed on to “the bureaucracy” just to make a living. You may be a libertarian, a closet left-winger, or as mainstream and down-the-center as it’s possible to be.
I don’t know much, but I know one thing that you may not yet know yourself. I know that you’re there. I know that, just as Edward Snowden and Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning did, you will, for reasons of your own, feel compelled to take radical action, to put yourself in danger. When the time comes, you will know that this is what you must do, that this is why you find yourself where you are, and then you’re going to tell us plenty that has been kept from us about how our government really operates. You are going to shock us to the core.
And how exactly do I know this? Because despite our striking inability to predict the future, it’s a no-brainer that the national security state is already building you into its labyrinthine systems. In the urge of its officials to control all of us and every situation, in their mania for all-encompassing secrecy, in their classification not just of the millions of documents they generate, but essentially all their operations as “secret” or “top secret,” in their all-encompassing urge to shut off the most essential workings of the government from the eyes of its citizenry, in their escalating urge to punish anyone who would bring their secret activities to light, in their urge to see or read or listen in on or peer into the lives of you (every “you” on the planet), in their urge to build a global surveillance state and a military that will dominate everything in or out of its path, in their urge to drop bombs on Pakistan and fire missiles at Syria, in their urge to be able to assassinate just about anyone just about anywhere robotically, they are birthing you.
In every action, a reaction. So they say, no?
Give our national security managers credit, though: they may prove to be the master builders of the early twenty-first century. Their ambitions have been breathtaking and their ability to commandeer staggering amounts of our taxpayer dollars to pay for those projects hardly less so. Their monuments to themselves, their version of pyramids and ziggurats -- like the vast data storage center the National Security Agency is building for almost $2 billion in Bluffdale, Utah, to keep a yottabyte of private information about all of us, or the new post-9/11 headquarters the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency built, again for almost $2 billion, so that its 16,000 employees could monitor our system of satellites monitoring every square inch of the planet -- are in their own way unique. In their urge to control everything, to see everything from your Facebook chatter to the emails of the Brazilian president, they are creating a system built to blowback, and not just from the outside or distant lands.
Chalmers Johnson, who took “blowback,” an obscure term of CIA tradecraft, and embedded it in our everyday language, would have instantly recognized what they’re doing: creating a blowback machine whose “unintended consequences” (another term of his) are guaranteed, like the effects of the Snowden revelations, to stun us all in a myriad of ways.
They have built their system so elaborately, so expansively, and their ambitions have been so grandiose that they have had no choice but to embed you in their developing global security state, deep in the entrails of their secret world -- tens of thousands of possible you’s, in fact. You’s galore, all of whom see some part, some corner, of the world that is curtained off from the rest of us. And because they have built using the power of tomorrow, they have created a situation in which the prospective whistleblower, the leaker of tomorrow, has access not just to a few pieces of paper but to files beyond imagination. They, not you, have prepared the way for future mass document dumps, for staggering releases, of a sort that once upon time in a far more modest system based largely on paper would have been inconceivable.
They have, that is, paved the way for everything that you are one day guaranteed to do. They have created the means by which their mania for secrecy will repeatedly come a cropper. They have created you.
Worse yet (for them), they have created a world populated with tens of thousands of people, often young, often nomadic in job terms, and often with remarkable computer skills who have access to parts of their vast system, to unknown numbers of secret programs and documents, and the many things from phone calls to emails to credit card transactions to social media interactions to biometric data that they so helpfully store away.
And it doesn’t matter what they, in their post-Snowden panic, may do to try to prevent you from accessing their system. None of the new rules and programs they are installing to prevent the next Edward Snowden or Bradley Manning from collecting anything right down to the national security equivalent of the kitchen sink will stop you. After all, you may even be one of the ones they have chosen to install those safeguards, to put those measures in place. You may be one of the ones they have specially trained in the intricacies and failsafe mechanisms of their system.
And here’s the uncanny thing about you: just doing what comes naturally, you will overcome any measures they try to install and make a mockery of any measures or training programs they put in place to help your co-workers spot you. Almost by definition, they won’t be able to find you until it’s too late. You’ll dispay none of the traits that someone about to betray their world should exhibit. And no wonder, since you’ll be one of the many recognizable cogs in their machinery until almost the moment -- already too late in the game for them -- when you aren’t.
You are, in that sense, the perfect double agent. Until you, in essence, become a spy for the American people, for the old democratic system in which government was the people’s property and those we elect were supposed to let us know what they were doing in our name, you aren’t just masquerading as one of them, you are.
I have no way of knowing what will first strike you as wrong. I just know that something will. It might be very specific and close at hand -- something amiss you see in the program you’re working on, some outrageous expenditure of money or set of lies about what an agency or outfit is doing, or some act or set of acts that you, in growing up, had been taught were un-American. The possibilities are legion. After all, the national security system that they’ve built and engorged with taxpayer dollars, using fear and the excuse of American “safety,” has dispatched armies, and special ops outfits, and drones all over the world to commit mayhem and increase global instability, to kill civilians, wipe out wedding parties, kidnap and torture the innocent, assassinate by robot, and so on.
Or maybe it all just sneaks up on you, the wrongness of it. Maybe, even if you’re too young to remember the totalitarian states of the previous century, something about the urge of our national security managers to create total systems of control, trump the law, and do as they please in the name of their need for knowledge will simply get under your skin. You’ll know that this isn’t the way it was supposed to be.
At some point, it will just creep you out, and even though until that moment you didn’t know it, you’ll be ready. They won’t be able to avoid you. They won’t be able to eliminate you. They won’t even be able to find you. You are, after all, part of their landscape, like the grass on the hillside or the steps to a house.
Even now, they are undoubtedly giving you tips on how to blowback on them. As the latest articles about the National Security Agency tell us, they have begun excusing their sins by claiming that the system they have created is now beyond even their understanding or control, so what hope do they have of understanding or controlling you? They have out-built even themselves.
Manning and Snowden were the first harbingers of the new world of whistleblowing. Snowden learned from Manning and other whistleblowers who preceded him and were persecuted by the state. You will learn from all of them. Each of them was a small tornado-like version of the blowback machine they are still in the process of creating. Each changed how the world looks America and how many of us look at ourselves. Each put in place some small part of the foundation for a world in which such a blowback machine would not be the creation of choice for those with the money and power to build monuments to themselves. Each was a raging embarrassment, a dent in the amour-propre of the national security state. Each was an insult to its ability to control much of anything, including itself.
Those running the government and many of those who write about you in the mainstream will revile you. You will be denounced as a traitor, a defector, a criminal, and your acts called treasonous, even if you’re one of the last hopes of the American republic. Right now, those like you are sure to be prosecuted, jailed, or chased implacably across the planet. But this won’t last forever. Someday, your country will recognize what you did -- first of all for yourself, for your own sense of what’s decent and right in this world, and then for us -- as the acts of an upright and even heroic American.
In the meantime, just remember: the national security state is a giant blowback machine and you, whoever you are, will be part of the answer, the remedy, to it.
Sincerely,
Tom Engelhardt
