Remember when you were in grade school, or dare I say high school, and you found yourself in a humiliating situation after having failed to read the day’s assignment and being called to expound upon your of knowledge in front of the class? If this happened to you then you don’t need me to frame how things transpired, since for most, this was a situation of distress, confusion, sadness, and shame. The memory of facing the class and trying to repel each of the teacher’s questions like incoming missiles can create a sheen of perspiration on the brow even today.

Some people find they relive these situations in their dreams from time to time when the sandman decides to deal them a dirty hand at bedtime. For most, the saving grace that allows us to break free from such situations is that we grew up and took on the responsibility to prepare for the tasks that we face today. This truth is eloquently stated in the Bible in Corinthians, “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.” How the Obama administration could gain from following these wise words!

Arizona’s new immigration law SB 1070 is being attacked by liberals around the globe as racist, overreaching, barbaric, draconian, and the list of descriptors is almost limitless. From the White House, President Obama called the law “misguided” and now jumps back and forth on the issue of whether or not Arizona’s law promotes racial profiling. Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, both highly critical of Arizona’s law, recently admitted in public forums before television cameras that they had not even read the 10-page bill they had been condemning. I wonder if they felt silly, like children who had failed to do their homework and were then called to the front of the class to give their report. To many it appeared so, but to me they were more frightening than anything. Should the American people require that they stay after class, or even be held back? Way back? When I saw how little the facts really mattered to these government officials when it came to how they dealt with Arizona and the America people, I began to see the childlike mentality that dictatorships often encompass.

This is a scary place where deliberation and decision making is devoid of fact and reason and based merely on party line politics and the whims of the White House. The words in Corinthians come back to me with modern-day applicability: “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like the Obama administration. It’s a painfully accurate fit.

I would say that reading the laws would bolster the credibility of the White House’s opposition to laws, with which they disagree, but the problem here is much deeper than understanding that “reading is fundamental;” you also have to care about the people and respect the rule of law. As Fox News reports, John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, stated that illegal aliens from Arizona may be rejected for processing based on his view, which subsequently falls in line with the White House’s stance that Arizona’s law is not the solution to the illegal immigration problem. Has John Morton read the law he now rejects? Well, he certainly has not been briefed on the specifics of Arizona’s SB 1070 by Obama administration officials such as Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano. It is apparent that right now America has an administration quick to turn in their verdicts and slow to do their homework.

Collectivism/Socialism/Communism is just around the corner. First it was the Financials. Now it’s the auto makers. The next thing to happen will most likely be energy producers. Geithner is calling for more authority to seize any company that negatively affects the economy. The warning from Jefferson is more appropriate today than ever in the history of this nation.

Do you fear your government? Yes, the government of the United States of America? You know, the one that is the champion of Freedom throughout the world? GM’s Wagoner being asked to resign by the Obama administration is but one of many to come. Take heart to something said long ago:

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
–Thomas Jefferson

IF you live in this nation, you had better be VERY afraid of this government of Liberals/Socialists/Collectivists. This is not just an attempt to seize governmental power, but complete control of PRIVATE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY. Folks, we have seen this before in the world’s history and it happened throughout the entire 1920′s , 30′s, and 40′s in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler. Each of those nations seized the banks and financials of their respective nations and then the industry for their own nefarious purposes. The same thing happened with the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, the Mao revolution in China, and in any other Communist/Socialist nation you dare to mention.

Once you have control of the money, the control of the ability to manufacture goods and have the ability to seize any company under the pretense of affecting the economy, you have a tyrannical government in control of YOUR LIFE. Laugh if you want. Scoff if you want. Use the “economic crisis” as your reasoning for this happened. Think or believe it is only “temporary” in nature. Yet, when governments seize this much power and control, it is more than reluctant to give it back. History will tell us without question it never happens that way, but instead quickly becomes the all-powerful government in control of a people without any hope of ever seeing the freedom and liberty of the past.

How is our government managing to do this? By using YOUR “outrage” at using “taxpayers money” as the justification for continuing the seizures because “these companies took government bailouts”. The perfect storm for the perfect take-over of banks, Wall Street, and whatever this Administration deems necessary to control this nation completely. The Presidents own chief of staff stated “never let a crisis go to waste” in order to move your agenda forward. There is no question what that agenda can be unless you are hiding under a rock or have bought into the media propaganda.

I can only imagine that the NEXT proposal from this Administration will be from the EPA that in an effort to REQUIRE the reduction of “carbon” from any energy source, the government will need to regulate these companies who produce “carbon” more vigorously and without regard to the fact that they are private enterprises. They are going to want the power to seize these companies ONCE THEY SHOW they are not meeting EPA guidelines for “carbon emissions”, fuel savings, or any number of “reasons” the EPA feels is justified for such action. They are already developing plans to declare “carbon dioxide” a pollutant so that the next step can be taken.

If you are an energy producer, such as oil or coal, expect to see massive taxation on your product. This is going to be in an effort to FORCE reductions of these alleged “carbon” dirty fuels usage. Once these companies continue business as usual, again, the EPA will move to curtail production with the desire to seize control to maintain production level reductions to meet their “carbon emissions” guidelines.

Then what is next? Well, think about it. They will control the banks, the money, and the entire financial sector, they control manufacturing, and they will control energy. Well, folks, they now control EVERYTHING they need to TOTALLY CONTROL YOU and your standard of living, what your lifestyle will be, and what choices you make for entertainment or avocational pursuits. Welcome to the NEW AMERIKA!

YOUR next move could be the very last one you make to assure your children and grandchildren are going to enjoy the freedom and liberty that was promised to this nation with our founding documents. Now, more than ever, this nation is on the precipace of a complete and total near dictatorial control of this nation. Unless you take a stand and stop this from happening, we are going to wake up one morning to the news announcements as I have outlined above.

You are perfectly free to sit on your hands and do nothing. Where will you turn when it becomes illegal to speak out against our government? Where will you go when the “free press” is nothing but a mouthpiece for Government Propaganda that “sells” the “sheeple” on the virtues of how great our new government is? WHO will you turn to when there is  nothing but resounding control over YOUR life, your income, your standard of living, and your children’s and grandchildren’s freedoms and liberties?

Now, more than ever you need to take action and sign the Redress of Grievances Petition. Now more than ever, you need to spread the word and TELL OTHERS TO SIGN THIS PETITION as well. The very preservation of this nation could depend on your actions TODAY. Otherwise, the end result by NOT doing so is one you may never be able to turn back the tide that is coming. I love this nation and all she stands for. I believe that man is best living in freedom and liberty to make their own choices and their own decisions for their personal life. Help me keep it that way and take that step with me. Together we have a collective voice that is far stronger than the single one in the wilderness. Become that voice of strength and not of compliance to our government and the controls they are going to impose without AMERICANS stepping forth and saying NO MORE!

A new “global reserve system” has been proposed by a U.N. panel of economists today. Trust me here, you were LIED to in the Presser when President Obama said that the dollar was not going to go anywhere. This Socialist President of ours is all for the United Nations. Are you scared yet?

Breitbart news reported today that the U.N. has been considering a new global currency. This new system has the full support of one of the U.S economists, Joseph Stiglitz, who prior to today, has been adverse to any globalization of the monetary system:

He noted that such a system was “relatively volatile, deflationary, unstable and (had) inequity associated with it.”

“Developing countries are lending the United States trillions dollars at almost zero interest rates when they have huge needs themselves,” Stiglitz noted. “It’s indicative of the nature of the problem. It’s a net transfer, in a sense, to the United States, a form of foreign aid.”

One comment that I found really disturbing was directly from the U.N. panel:

But the UN panel warned that a two (or three) country reserve system “may be equally unstable.”

It said a new Global Reserve “is feasible, non-inflationary and could be easily implemented, including in ways which mitigate the difficulties caused by asymmetric adjustment between surplus and deficit countries.”

Now, digest that for a second and tell me what you are thinking….

Basically, it means that the world in general isn’t too fond of the American dollar any longer. It would allow the dollar to be replaced with a global currency that would be legal tender worldwide. It would ALSO allow debtor nations to literally be dictated by the global monetary fund. Now, guess what. The United States is the #1 debtor nation in the entire world. All of a sudden, we are a nation that is controlled by the money supply and done so from someplace other than from our own government. (trust me here, our government doesn’t control the money supply, the Federal Reserve does that. The Fed isn’t owned by the United States Government, but rather a consortium of bankers and others who no one knows their names. There is literally, no regulation of the Federal Reserve, only the “law” that created it.) This should scare the daylights out of you as this nations sovereignty would be gone and any regulation, distribution, or ebb and flow of the money is controlled by an International Reserve System.

The creation of this Monetary Reserve would, according to the article:

It specifically called for immediate, additional funding for developing countries “just to offset the imbalances and inequities created by the massive stimulus and bail-out measures introduced by advanced industrialized countries.”

Pretty much, that means that in the interest of “fairness”, distribution of funds would be to those “undeveloped” nations from the developed ones. You now have President Obama’s “spread the wealth around” on a global scale. This is something that you will also be funding with nothing less than those “tax cuts” you were promised. The only problem is, you will instead be paying more and more to cover these international distributions of YOUR wealth to the rest of the world. Remember, that Treasury Secretary Geithner said once, that he opposed this, however, as recently as yesterday, he also said he would consider that as an option. I tend to believe he is of the latter way of thinking as his “god” in economics is none other than Keynes of the massive government spending theory of economics.

Consider the ramifications to this nation should this proposal actually garner support, and I have no reason to believe it won’t.

1. We would no longer be able to set interest rates on any “debt instruments” needed by our government to fund the massive spending spree that the Democrats are on.
2. Our current debts would be converted to the new currency and interest rates set by the International Consortium.
3. As a debtor nation, our interest rate being paid would go to fund the near zero interest loans to other nations without “wealth”.
4. Our monetary supply is controlled in order to control growth in every sector of our economy in order to allow other nations a “catch-up” to our capacities. If there is no money to lend, then there is no growth of business and industry.

I remind you to look at our Constitution. It is very plain and is written in a manner that anyone can understand. Article One, Section 8 reads as follows:

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Are we going to surrender yet ANOTHER of our Constitutional liberties over to a global monetary system? There can be no doubt that unless WE THE PEOPLE take the stand to TAKE BACK OUR NATION, there isn’t going to be any nation left. The agenda of this Administration, this Liberal/Socialist Congress, and the appointments in the Courts by the President can leave NO DOUBT in your mind where this is ultimately heading and it’s right in the power grab of the U.N. and the “world bank”.

NOW, more than ever, YOU need to get involved with taking back this nation and stop the power grab from our Congress and our leaders. Even more importantly, if you sit on the sidelines, do absolutely nothing and “wait and see” what will happen, then you are going to let Congress pass legislation that will destroy this nation and take it to the level of every third world nation. We MUST stop this government from deepening the deficits and the debt and tell them we are not only tired of it, but no longer going to support this agenda with our tax dollars.

The ONLY solution is to have a government that lives within it’s means, no longer creates programs that we as a nation can’t afford (healthcare, welfare, and “government” education to start), and begins repaying the debt we already have that is measured in the TRILLIONS. Our President and Congress are determined to add even MORE trillions to this load. YOU will pay for this and if and when we go to a “global currency” that debt load is easily going to double and standards of living in this nation will drop dramatically. You will all too soon understand what it means to “spread the wealth around” to the REST OF THE WORLD.

If you refuse to get involved, then you will get what you deserve. Take advantage of the Redress of Grievances Petition and sign it. Tell others the importance of what this document can do. OUR VOICE to Congress needs to be LOUD AND CLEAR- WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR YOUR MALFEASANCE AND DESTRUCTION OF THIS NATION.
