Prophet or Wingnut? If we don’t learn from history, where will be be?

If you are a history buff you might have read what’s below. It’s very interesting and worth reading. See if you can tell who wrote this. At the end, there’s a link to an audio version. I think you’ll be surprised. – Scott

The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.

For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Ten years ago the USA had

Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.

Now we have no Jobs, no Hope, and no Cash.

Dateline: 10.22.11

Help this short little video go VIRAL!

The Occupy Wall Street has a problem. Because they haven’t come up with a PROGRAM or a list of demands for what they want, many American don’t really understand what the movement is about. The financial meltdown has been dragging on so long with so many twists and turns, even Google Directions would be hard to follow.

But this cartoon NAILS THE BASICS.

While the above presentation doesn’t provide Occupy Wall Street with a PROGRAM, it does explain who is at the root of the problem and who is being jammed with the bill. Unless you are part of the 1% of the 1%, you are at risk. No occupation or job is safe. NONE! The clearest plan to get us out of this economic depress I have yet to find is from Dr. Webster G. Tarpley. You can read a brief intro HERE.

A detailed look into the requirements and implications of ObamaCare. How deep are your pickets?

Special thanks to BreakTheMatrix.com for the image. You can read their post titled, "Texan calls for jail time for enforcing Obamacare" by clicking the above image.

The flow of major events is staggering! It’s been over 10 years since 9-11, the war in Iraq grinds on. Hell, we even have low grade wars on the back burner that no one pays attention to! (Libya, drone attacks on Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and now we’re sending military “advisors” into Africa. That’s how the Vietnam experience got started. It’s been three years since the big bank meltdown and bailout. Remember the bank bailout protests when American said “NO!” and Madam Feinstein said, “Main Street doesn’t get it.” And now three years and 10’s of Trillions of dollars later, the banks are STILL FAILING and they’re blaming US!

And then there’s ObamaCare. Again, the American people said, “NO!” and our leaders said, “You’re too stupid to make a decision, this is what you need.” Most that voted for the bill didn’t have time to read the 2,000-plus word bill. After all, they have lobbyists to meet with and campaign contributions to collect. Now we are close to two years away from ObamaCare being LAW and finally, the grim details are coming out.

“Managed care” (HMOs) has been a dismal social experiment from the beginning and now, it is poised to make most Americans INSURANCE POOR. If you are an unemployed single person, you can afford $5,000 a year for MANDATORY health insurance, right? It’s only $416.66 a month. No problem, right? And if you have a family, you can afford $10,000 a year, right? That’s only $833,33 a month. No problem, right?  Well, you be the judge of what you can afford. But if you can not afford to buy mandatory health insurance, the IRS will tax you 2.5%.

The below video outlines and highlights just some of the details that our congress critters were too busy to read. But you have the time and about two years to figure how you are going to pay for this, or the 2.5% fine. If ObamaCare will put you over the edge, start RAISING HELL with your elected leaders and DEMAND that this monstrosity be completely and totally REJECTED. If your congress person voted for ObamaCare, DON’T support them – support their OPPONENT.

There’s no “fixing” the bill. It must be REJECTED.

Watch the video, and you decide. – Scott

PS – ObamaCare begins January 1, 2014.

 “Perspective, adds wisdom to any given situation.”

Special thanks to http://www.lateralscience.co.uk for the above illustration

Many years ago, a wise man once told me, “Perspective, adds wisdom to any given situation.” While most will nod in agreement, very few take the time to look in the rear view mirror of Life to see where’s we have been, so that we can get a sense of where we’re headed. Another wise person once said, “If you keep going where you’re headed, you’re going to get where you’re going.” (Sounds like a Yogi Berra quote, doesn’t it.)

Now that it’s ten years after, the official 9-11 story is “OFFICIAL.” Last weekend, the president said so. End of story! Get over it! SHUT UP about it!

But I have this little problem.

I hate being lied to and I know what BULLSHIT smells like. And the “official story” reeks to high heaven! The below video is a brilliantly short, well done overview of the 9-11 experience. It’s just under 6-minutes. Draw your own conclusions. - Scott

“It’s time to get active, or get radioactive!” Webster Tarpley

It has been my extreme pleasure to get to know the brilliant mind of Webster G. Tarpley through The Jeff Rense Program. Webster is an independent historian and political commentator with a unique historical perspective on our nation’s contemporary problems. I urge all of my readers to regularly visit http://tarpley.net/ and READ. If you would rather listen, you can feast on Webster’s insights on his YouTube Channel, HERE.

Tarpley posted the below letter on his website on July 21, 2011 with permission granted to his readers to print out the below letter and sent it to your Congressman. You can copy and send “as is” or use it as a template. All that’s important is that we begin to lead our leaders. What they have shown us over these last few difficult months is that they are CLUELESS as to how to get out of the DEPRESSION.

Yes, “depression” is the CORRECT word. The Unemployment numbers that we hear monthly is just one of six aspects of the total unemployment situation. When the other five parts of the equation are factored in, the true number is in the 25 PERCENT RANGE. That is “DEPRESSION” level unemployment.

If you’ve been trying to follow the political theater going on in DC, what we are seeing is what Webster calls, “Austerity Psychosis.” One party wants to raise taxes and the other wants to destroy the social safety net. If you are currently out of a job and can not find one, please remember this. Read the rest of this entry »

Since I have Thomas Jefferson in my banner art, I felt it was time I started writing some posts dedicated to man who may well have been the ultimate American. Surely, today Jefferson would be a radical. The Declaration of Independence is in Jefferson’s voice because he was the best scribe in the entire deligation that gathered to work out their declaration of independence from England, the most powerful nation on the planet then. Wow! I live across the river from Philadelphia and for me, the “Old City” is a very charming place.

What follows has been circulating around the net for years. I found it on a page at Rense.com and remembered seeing the same thing, or something similar. Below is a wonderful collection of astounding facts about and quotes from Thomas Jefferson. I hope that you will be as touched, moved, and inspired as I am when I read his words. Enjoy! – Scott

PS – I’ll be doing something similar to this, but about Thomas Paine, the other fellow in my header banner art.

At 5, began studying under his cousins tutor.

At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.

At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.

At 16, entered the College of William and Mary.

At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.

At 23, started his own law practice.

At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses. Read the rest of this entry »

Well big whoop-de-doo, the president signed into law the new tax deal. It’s a GREAT deal if you’re a rich person, otherwise, it STINKS to high heaven. This morning I watched an online CNN video clip with respectable, silver-haired John King standing before a very impressive big touch screen monitor with a very fancy bar chart. I love it when this kind of material is on a video clip because you get to stop and really look at things and go back to listen again.

Here’s what’s glaringly obvious that didn’t get a mention…

Of the $860 Billion, only $56.5 Billion is for unemployment. That’s 6.56% over two years for unemployed Americans and 93.44% for wealthy Americans. Read the rest of this entry »

But Don’t Get Too Comfy!

Now that the political parties are done with their campaigns and the Repugs have won the ball game, let’m have a few days to bask in the glow of victory. But GET THIS MESSAGE!

Your big Republican wins last night were NOT an indication that the American people are ready to embrace the putrid policies that you rammed through with fear during the 8 years of the Bush administrations. No! You scored big in the mid-terms because after two years of “hope and change” we as a nation are WORSE OFF THAN EVER!

This is NOT a “recession,” it’s a DEPRESSION! Wake up and get a grip. On top of that, after four years of the Dems in control of Congress and doing NOTHING for the benefit of the American people, we chose to take it out on the Dems. SHAME ON THEM for embracing a leader that instead of moving the nation away from the disastrous policies of the Neo-Con Bushies, chose to bring back the very same people that helped to create the problem to begin with.

THAT’S WHY YOU WON last night. So don’t get all puffed up about yourselves. Read the rest of this entry »

“Give it ALL. And DON’T complain aboudit!”

I don’t remember when the NJ Homestead Rebate was started, but it’s been a while now. You don’t get back much, but if your budget is tight, it’s a help, especially as the holidays are approaching. This year, instead of depositing the rebate into your bank account, they apply it to your real estate taxes for the 2nd quarter of next year.

Thanks guys! We could have used the $$$ NOW. So rather than us having some extra money to spend locally to stimulate the local economy, the state just takes it for itself and gives you a “credit” six months from now. I’m really getting sick of being SCREWED. The state homestead rebate was supposed to help homeowners. I know, I know, “you get it” sort of. Instead of getting a check or an extra deposit directly into your account, your mortgage will be smaller 6 months down the road, where it’ll just melt into the economy. This will do NOTHING to help retailers here in New Jersey for the holidays.

Did you see what 60 Minutes covered recently?? ?

You MUST watch this. This could be ALL OF US. Read the rest of this entry »

Ohhh… This is going to HURT!

Jim Kirwan’s latest post outlines just a few new things we’re supposed to look forward to thanks to the president and the Democrats. Please read Jim’s short article, here…

In summery, here’s the RED MEAT;

* There will be a 1% tax (transaction fee) on ALL financial transactions – deposits, debits, checks, electronic payments, etc. You know how much money goes in and out of your bank account. DO THE MATH. Read the rest of this entry »

Being burned in arguably one of the worst of human experiences. It is something that happens to all of us and almost always when we least expect it to happen. When it does, EVERYTHING STOPS. There is a primal reaction that no doubt goes back to the earliest times of human existence – such that the “fight or flight” reaction, combined with a rush of adrenaline, and panic is probably hard wired to our psyche.

On August 5, 2010 and September 2, 2010, Allison McDermott was a guest on The Jeff Rense Program as a representative for FireBurnDoctor.com. The information presented is truly a gift to the world.

If you or someone you are with is burned, call 1-818-332-6445 within 30 minutes of the burn. THERE IS NO COST FOR THIS. Read the rest of this entry »
