Anniversary of 911 comes with no arrests but some untimely deaths.

Posted by benjamin
September 8, 2014
This week marks the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 Nazionist terror attack and subsequent fascist coup d’etat in the United States. US “acting president” Barack Obama shows his true colors by the fact he repeats thoroughly discredited Nazionist lies, including those about that mass murder event.
Obama himself admitted last week that he was an actor. In an interview with NBC, when asked about why he went directly to the golf course immediately after making a statement about the supposed death of American journalist James Foley, said “Part of this job is also the theater of it…a part of it is, you know, how are you … not something that— that always comes naturally to me.”
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/09/obama-meet-the-press-110676.html#ixzz3CiVcrhUq
However, there is a faction that is definitely going after Obama’s Nazionist script writers that will hopefully force Obama to read from a new plot line. The recent suspicious crash of Richard “vaccinate all kids under 5” Rockefeller’s plane, and the life threatening injuries inflicted on 911 planner and former FBI boss Louis Freeh have been followed by another suspicious death. This time the victim was Larry Glazer, whose plane had its oxygen supply cut off, a common form of sabotage. Glazer’s family are co-owners of George Bush Seniors’ Zapata oil and have worked with the Bushes for many years.
Also, actress Joan Rivers died of complications from “throat surgery”, shortly after calling on everybody in Gaza to be wiped out, in what is seen by many as either an attack on the Nazionists or a fake death.
http://nodisinfo.com/joan-rivers/
Many more are going to die before this is over, CIA sources say.
That is why the terrified Nazionists are constantly screaming and threatening new terror attacks. The latest is from the Mossad linked site Debka threatening dirty bomb attacks in the Middle East and a European city on the 911 anniversary. However, the smart people at Mossad know the gig is up and that any attempt to blame a new attack by them on ISIS or Al Qaeda or any other front will not divert the inevitable payback that would hit Israel.
Meanwhile, the Nazionist attack on the Ukraine is going badly, a Russian government source says. “The Ukraine is going broke, the army on their Eastern front are defecting because of
lack of food, ammunition, and pay. Their central government, likewise, is beginning to collapse because of a lack of funding,” he says. All Russian President Vladimir Putin has to do is wait because winter is approaching and they will have no gas, he notes. Germany, which also needs Russian gas to get through the winter, is increasingly anxious to settle the Ukranian crisis, he added.
Putin, for his part, needs to make sure people friendly to him seize control of the shores of the Sea of Azov between Russia and the Ukraine. This is to make sure Russia controls the giant gas deposits there that are one of the real causes for this crisis. That is why fighting is still reported along the shores of that sea despite a supposed cease fire.
The 67 world leaders gathered at the NATO summit held last week were unable to come up with any real solution to their imploding Ukrainian gambit, according to MI5 sources. The best their armaments company sponsors could come up with was to get them to use their new fake cold war with Russia as an excuse to build arms stashes all over the world for a “rapid reaction force.” They also all publicly said they will not send weapons the Nazionist regime in the Ukraine.
The governments of the US and Europe, however, cannot afford to go on a weapons buying splurge these days though because their economies are imploding. The IMF, formerly the apex of world financial power, is bankrupt. The Federal Reserve Board, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are also in a panic because their fiat fairy dust money sprinkling is not producing the magic results they hoped for.
The EU has actually put negative interest rates on bank accounts to try to force companies to spend it.
The problem is that their entire business model based on leaving everything to the free market is not working because a system based on individual greed only creates wealth concentration, not prosperity. The EU enterprise will collapse unless its leaders come up with some dreams and plans for the future of all their people. Scotland and then England are likely to be the first dominoes to fall out of the union.
The United States, for its part, remains the worst basket case and now relies almost entirely on China to keep from going bankrupt. That is why US National Security Adviser Susan Rice is now in China on a begging mission for Obama and his handlers to make sure the US corporate government can survive beyond this September 30 fiscal year end. The Chinese are not going to let the US go bankrupt but they will use their financial leverage to force many concessions, Chinese government sources say. In particular, they will ask the US to jerk their Japanese slave government’s chain and force them to stop provoking China, they said. In addition, they are asking the US to become fully transparent about the 12 nation Trans Pacific Partnership they are trying to negotiate. They will also ask the US to abolish the TPP provision that would allow a secret corporate court to have power over governments, they said.
Presidential actor Obama has already agreed to come to China in November to kowtow to his Asian masters, they added.
The Japanese economy, meanwhile, is in a tailspin, shrinking at an annualized 7.1% rate in the latest quarter thanks to excessive cabal looting disguised as “Abenomics.” What “Abenomics” really means is that the Japanese slave government has handed over control of all listed companies to cabal controlled funds. The cabal is now asking for cuts in wages, mass firings and looting of pension funds in order to squeeze more profits out of these corporations. In addition they are asking for a cut in corporate taxes and ongoing hikes in consumption and other personal taxes in order to squeeze even more out of the beleaguered Japanese people. The resulting collapse in the Japanese economy proves you cannot squeeze blood out of a stone.
There is an anti-cabal revolt brewing in Japan because of the cabal excesses. The Japan Revolutionary Party and the Japan Independence Party will make their move when the timing is right, party sources say. The move will involve arresting the people involved in fraudulently stealing the last general election for Abe. Nazionist agents in Japan like Gerald Curtis, Michael Green and Richard Armitage will also be dealt with, they said.
Also, the collapse of the Japanese slave state’s economy means the cabalists will have to try to beg even more out of China. That means even the low IQ right wingers who counted on the US to help them in a fight with China are finally waking up and realizing they will have to talk with India and Russia if they want to keep a balance with China.
To that end, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was invited for a week-long visit to Japan that ended on September 6th. However, the Japanese corporate slave media became very quiet in its coverage of the visit after it turned out Modi was not interested in joining Abe’s plans to pick a fight with China.
Russia’s Putin is expected to visit Japan this fall but Russia is not going to join Japan against China either, the Russian government sources say.
Instead the Chinese and Russians are pushing the Japanese to join the BRICS alliance and Japanese government sources say there is a growing lobby calling for exactly that.

That is another why Obama will be rushing to China in November to try to keep a semblance of the US “pivot to Asia” intact. “Please don’t leave us out of the party,” will be his main message. “Then arrest the criminals who control Israel and your country” is what the BRICS answer should be.

US Throws up Roadblocks for Those Wishing to Leave

US Throws up Roadblocks for Those Wishing to Leave

Janet Phelan
Activist Post

The word is out. People are leaving the US in droves.

The latest FBI NICS list of American citizens who have expatriated shows a spike in individuals who have renounced their US citizenship.

The list, published quarterly, provides a grand total of 2,193 such renunciants since the end of last year. 2013 resulted in a total of 2,999 renunciants, which constituted a 221% increase over those who left in 2012. And we are just half way through 2014.

The NICS list, however, appears to be incomplete. For starters, NICS only lists renunciants, not relinquishers. And yes, there is a difference. Renouncing requires swearing an oath in front of an official of the US government and now has a $2,350 fee attached to it, a recent increase of 422%. Relinquishing does not require the involvement of a US government official but instead involves making one of a number of acts which result in forfeiting one’s US citizenship.

As reported in the Isaac Brock Society, the ratio has generally been 4-5 relinquishers for every six renunciants, which would suggest that possibly as many as 4000 Americans gave up their citizenship so far this year.

Strangely, there are many missing names in the published report, as the above article details. Given this factor, the published totals must be taken with a grain of salt.
In addition, the list does not include those who have left the US for greener pastures abroad, but have not give up their US citizenship. The US professes not to maintain a list of such individuals. Recent estimates report about 6 million Americans living abroad. Other resources state that around 150,000 Americans are leaving the US each month

 With the passage of FATCA, there is more initiative for those leaving to also renounce.  initiative for those leaving to also renounce. FATCA, which came into effect this year, mandates that foreign banks report their US account holders to the US government. In light of this, many countries are now declining to open new accounts for American citizens. There have also been reports of foreign banks closing accounts held by Americans.


According to the Renunciation Guide, “The attack on Americans Abroad began shortly after Barack Obama became President. The current U.S. government through a variety of laws and procedures presumes that U.S. citizens abroad are “tax cheats” and treats them accordingly. As a result, many Americans Abroad recognize that they must either move to the United States or renounce their citizenship.”


The financial incentive is being played up by some sectors of the press. As many Americans living and working abroad face the dilemma of having to pay two sets of income tax, one to the US and one to their host country, renunciation looks better all the time. However, the economic incentive is only one factor in the decision to renounce.

In a recent article, Jeff Fonseca lists a plethora of reasons for leaving, mainly of a political nature. He cites the increased police state activity, declaring that “everything is illegal,” as well as the escalating prison population, mostly incarcerated for drug offenses. “There are more Americans in jail than there were in Stalin’s Gulag Archipelago,” he notes. He also cites the breakdown of the rule of law as another reason, evidenced by the increasing incidence of judicial imperialism.

Fonseca also references the concern that American citizens are now being assassinated by executive order, via drone attack.

Unaffordable education costs and poor health care are also often cited as reasons for leaving.

A recent Huffington Live broadcast reported that more people are leaving the US for Mexico than the opposite. Despite the continued pulse of news stories about the dangerousness of Mexico, Americans are finding that life South of the border is agreeable for a number of reasons. Retirees find that their money goes a lot further in Mexico than in the US. According to the Huffington Post, over 356,000 Americans moved to Mexico between 2005-2010.

There are those who cannot leave, however. Anyone who owes back child support is routinely denied a US passport. IRS access to Border Patrol databases allows a revenue agent to issue a red flag, which may trip up someone trying to leave who has IRS issues. Provisions in Senate Bill 1813 would allow the federal government to block anyone owing back taxes from leaving the US. The bill passed in the Senate but not in the House.


The “no- fly” list presents other obstacles for leaving the USA. Around 20,000 names grace this list, which details who is not allowed to board a commercial airplane to leave or enter the US. Multiple errors in maintaining this list have resulted in children being blocked from flying, as well as active members of the military. US Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein has stated that “The no-fly list itself is one of our best lines of defense.” Numerous lawsuits have been filed contesting the no-fly list.

The exit tax is another potential blockade for people wishing to expatriate. When you relinquish your US citizenship you may be required to pay an “exit tax.” That exit tax may add up to the equivalent of a staggering 30% of your assets. In addition, while Social Security and Social Security disability recipients may reside outside the US, those receiving other forms of assistance, such as SSI, may not.

It does appear that, as the old slogan stated, “Uncle Sam Wants You!” Those set on divorcing the US, whether through renunciation or simply by packing up and leaving, are finding a number of obstacles awaiting them. Gone are the days when one could pile into the station wagon and set off to cross borders in search of a new way of life. The increasing number of regulations and financial blocks are serving as an inhibition at the very juncture that leaving the US is becoming increasingly desirable.

HELP STOP THE WAR !!

HELP STOP THE WAR !!

POST STRIKE PAGE

Are you one of the many people who refuse to accept war as business as usual? If so, are you willing to do something to help us STOP THE WAR? 

Here's what the issue is. The guys who have the authority to issue our money insist that they have the right to kill whom ever they wish to kill. As long as we let them use our purse to do it for free, is there much chance they'll stop killing us? Its not likely is it? Is there any indication that they will stop shooting and bombing while they have unlimited free credit from American labor available to them? They do nothing to stop the war and only keep shooting in the face of man and God while they have free money from labor. As they will not stop war on their own, do we not see that it is up to us to act and stop them? 

Do we not see that it is the authority to issue our money, that must be removed from the banking cartels fist, before we can do anything else? If so, then is the question of how to get hold of our purse not the singular most important question that we need to ask ourselves? Surely.

First a few basic facts. The weap crowd cleverly took into their control and privatized the authority to issue the money of the American people in 1913. 

What is money to begin with? Is money at its fundamental level, not receipts of labor? Certainly. Might we not say money is represented using, "ABSTRACT RECEIPTS OF LABOR?" Sure. Then what is the authority to issue our money, these abstract receipts of labor? Might we say it is nothing less than the "ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE" of our society?

The reason there are quotation marks around "ABSTRACT RECEIPTS OF LABOR" and "ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE" is because this chair did not think them up on my own, I wanted to know what they actually were, and our kind elders from space clued me. 

Its true, our elders from space have been with us through thick and thin, always helping us to find our way out of the hurricane of war and into the tranquil waters of peace. 

This chair has been in constant telepathic communication with kind elders since May of 2008. Over the years I have been graced to have been in the physical presence of several of our elders from space also. A lady from Venus, several men from Mercury and a lovely Martian lady.  Venus and Mercury are our exact body form, as they were created with us 200,000 years ago right here on planet earth. Martians arise from another genome. They have large splendid and lovely ears. All of them have eyes that are incredibly intense. This is due to their having a much higher neural count than we have. They have 6 to 7 times the number of neurons that we have. This from living in their peaceful enriched environment. Their presence is all around us and in our history books, yet they're touch is so soft, that it takes some time to discover their presence. 

All of our elders from space live in peaceful cohesion with one another. They have chosen a gentle way to help us transition ourselves out of war and into peace. Might we not consider it is of such a light touch, that many of us are not even aware of their constant presence in our world? As an aspect, might we not consider that they allow us to figure things out for ourselves? 

Elder said to me, "We're not missionaries." They have protected us from nuclear blast war. What they have done is pull all the nuclear blast shots off of us that have been hurled at us by Judah. They've shut down all the nuclear bombs that Judah planted in our cities. Might we ask ourselves how to deal with such hostile folks as Judah who are armed with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons? Elders have given us some advice:  They said to me, "We advise you well: STRIKE THEM OUT." 

Do we not see what we have to do here friends, if we want to have peace in our world? Do we not see what we must do to take the hostile out and bring the meek in? For those who have thought about it, is it not the authority to issue our abstract receipts of labor, money, that we must get a hold of? Sure it is. 

Elders suggest that we form a "COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE," to move forward once labor has prevailed with a strike, and has taken into its control, the authority to issue our money.

That's basically it. Wage a general Strike with the demand to take the authority to issue our money into the hands of labor. What this page is for is to ask you all to spread the news to ORGANIZE and stage a strike to STOP THE WAR. Once we have our purse in our hands, is it not likely we will fund no war no more? Sure. Is it not real certain that labor will only fund peace? Certainly. Will we not hire some Russian engineers to get in there and direct shutting that dirty bomb down NOW? As they have already shut one down at Chernobyl, might they not be ready to go right at it on day one? Hopefully so. 

So anything you can do will sure be appreciated. If you will post links to this page, or act in some way to help us get labor organized for a general strike, it will help bring us to the day of peace. 

Our elders from space are with us to help us. When they give us a hand and I say thanks, they say "Pleasure." So be certain, it is a pleasure for them to help us, cause have you not heard, we're their little brothers and sisters here on earth? We're the same Beings as Mercury and Venus, created together at the same time on earth. Mars are our good friends and next store neighbors. Casper is the kind Martian Being who has directed pulling the Judah missile shots off of us and shutting the nuclear bombs down in our cities. Thank you Sir Casper. We love you all. 

Are we aware that we are now in an extinction phase? Nuclear waste, if not halted, is threatening to wash us out of here over the next couple of decades. Its falling into our fields and burning and poisoning them out. Pleurisy ops are in our air now. The oceans are dying from the toxins of Judah electricity. Is it not yet perceived that this is not an accident? Do we not get it yet? They're pushing us off the planet and out of life. Judah is a dead fish for shooting us with his blast. Do we not see that waste is his last chance to really hurt us?  

With 435 more nuclear power plants spread across the globe, does it not appear that the plan from long ago, was to wipe us all out with nuclear technology? We have been warned by many, including God himself, to STOP THE WAR. Is it not appreciated that we must STOP THE WAR, if we are to have any chance to live right? 



In about the last two years there have been, from this chairs count, 38 emergency or unscheduled shut downs, at nuclear power plants throughout the world. Judah has stuxnet controllers installed to turn these dirty bombs in to Fukushima world every where. Elders have tripped them safely off line to give us time to get the stuxnet controllers out of them. Is it not breaking through how bad these nuclear war criminals really are here? 

Judah has blocked free energy velocity power sources since the early days when they were first proven to be real. Here is a link that gives some theoretical background on how they operate. We have circuits in operation now and as soon as we STOP THE WAR, we will set about building them large. The fracking poisoning of our water supplies will end when labor acts to STRIKE THEM OUT. Velocity will give us all the energy we'll ever need, 24/7 until eternity. 

http://bitchworld.weebly.com/the-four-elements-of-free-energy.html

Thanks again for helping to STOP THE WAR. Please speak to your co-workers and friends, get the news out, we need a strike to STOP THE WAR. Labor MUST get hold of the authority to issue our money. Thank you.

Understand, we are in a death phase due to nuclear destruction of our habitat. Miracles do happen and we need one now. If we can just get labor to help us and STOP THE WAR, we can ask our elders from space to help us get the poison out of here. Do we not recall, "Pleasure" elders from space say it is, to help us one and all? 

If you are willing to help, Here's the link to this page:

http://www.wisefishreport.com/strike-them-out-stop-the-war.html


For those who want the evidence of Judah attacking us with nuclear blast weapons, here's link to a full blown attack upon us on June 11, 2014, just a short time ago.

We have a loving Father who wants all his little children on earth to be cared for. Will you not help us labor? Will you not spare us from any more of the failure of war and instead bring us to the victory of peace in the love of God? Will we not pray for peace together? Sure hope so. God Bless you all.

NAZI Treason Escalates
by Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert
UNITED States of America   -   It can now be reported that Congressman Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan, and Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, have conspired with the U.S. NSA and the U.S. Department of Justice to hide relevant evidence that proves abuse of the American People's Constitutional rights aka Section 215 of the totally UN-Constitutional BrushFRAUD era neo-Nazi Patriot Act.
In fact, Rogers co-sponsored legislation which covered up the phone dragnet against the American People in which members of Congress voted for FISA legislation that re-authorized the Patriot Act without certain members of Congress not realizing what they had just voted for.
ISIS remains a total U.S.-British Intelligence and NAZI Paperclip NSA creation funded by the Saudi Royal Family and crooked worldwide banks as to continue UN-Constitutional NAZI Paperclip occupation of the United States and allow algorithms and other NSA-type technology to manipulate world financial markets.

Patriot Act's absurd new spawn: Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse
Creative legal interpretations may now enable the government to sign off on things that will blow your mind
Congress may be preparing to reinforce two horrible FISA Court decisions and an abusive government search with no debate in the coming weeks: a decision to give national security orders unlimited breadth, one making it legal for the government to investigate Americans for activities protected under the First Amendment, and the FBI’s “back door” searches of Americans’ communication content collected under the FISA Amendment Act Section 702 authority.
On Tuesday, the ACLU and the Department of Justice argued about the legality of the NSA’s phone dragnet program before the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. Much of the discussion focused on the implications of the government’s theories that it can collect all phone records in the United States based on a claim they are “relevant” to standing terrorism investigations. “You can collect everything there is to know about everybody and have it all in one big government cloud,” said Judge Gerard Lynch, describing the implications of the government’s theories to Assistant Attorney General Stuart Delery.
But the ACLU and the government also engaged in an equally important debate — on whether the FISA Court’s interpretation of the word “relevant” overstepped Congress’ intent – focused on whether Congress had backed FISC’s definition of “relevant” by reauthorizing the Patriot Act twice.
The executive branch and the FISA Court have spent the last 15 months arguing that Congress “ratified” the expansive interpretations on which the phone dragnet program relies when it reauthorized the Patriot Act in 2010 and 2011 because, having been informed of the program, Congress extended the Patriot Act without changing that language. “When Congress reenacts a statute without change,” the administration said in a white paper on the phone dragnet in August 2013, ”it is presumed to have adopted the administrative or judicial interpretation of the statute if it is aware of the interpretation.” Three federal judges have bought that claim, relying on it to rule the program is legal.
The government’s claim with regards to past authorizations is terribly weak. There were at least six known instances where Congress did not get notice it should have; in several cases, those obligations were imposed by law. Perhaps the most important – in which House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers did not invite most congressmen to read notice of the dragnet provided to Congress in 2011 — means that 65 of the people who voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act in 2011 probably had had no way of learning about the phone dragnet. And, as the ACLU’s Alexander Abdo pointed out in Tuesday’s hearing, Congress couldn’t have been briefed on the legal analysis underlying the phone dragnet because the FISA Court never got around to writing an opinion on it until 2013, in response to the Snowden leaks.
The executive’s claim that Congress “ratified” the phone dragnet before the Snowden leaks — and therefore that the program currently complies with the intent of Congress — is farcical. And the judges on the panel — in addition to Lynch, fellow Democratic appointees Robert Sack and Vernon Broderick — seem skeptical of the government’s claim that secret briefings offered about an unannounced program can support a claim that Congress knowingly ratified the program.
So the government’s argument that the program is legal because Congress reauthorized the Patriot Act after the government started secretly using it to collect most phone records in the U.S. may fail to persuade the 2nd Circuit.
But that won’t be true going forward.
The government’s public release of numerous court opinions and other intelligence information over the last 15 months means no one in Congress can make a credible claim to be uninformed of the decisions underlying these parts of the government’s spying. In 2011, most members of Congress probably didn’t know the FISC had redefined the word “relevant” in a key Patriot Act definition to mean “everything,” but they should know that now. Yet none of the current proposals to reform the dragnet do anything about the definition of “relevant.” They limit collection of phone records in other ways, but would permit bulky collection under that “relevance” standard in a number of ways and by association using a number of statutes.
Thus, while the 2nd Circuit might rule the current dragnet illegal in part because the legal logic of it would permit the government to “collect everything there is to know about everybody,” if Congress passes the USA Freedom Act without changing that definition of “relevant,” it will be easier for the government to win this argument in the future.
Congressional passage of the USA Freedom Act with the existing language intact would also probably “ratify” two other intelligence community programs: first, a more recently released decision, a February 2013 opinion in which Judge John Bates ruled that prohibitions on using the Patriot Act to investigate Americans based solely on First Amendment-protected activities – such as political speech or religion — do not apply if associates of the targeted person are engaged in unprotected activities. Bates took language from Congress prohibiting the government from using Patriot authorities against Americans for nothing more than their speech and created a loophole allowing the government to do just that.
As Stanford law professor Jennifer Granick said in a post on this opinion, “Most people, when they cite [the] statutory language [from the Patriot Act], believe it means that Americans won’t be subjects of terrorism investigations for the First Amendment protected things they say or do.” But based on what we can see of Bates’ opinion, Granick continued, “They would be wrong.”
And while the language of the opinion pertains to a terrorism investigation, the novel interpretation of the phrase might now apply in other uses of Patriot authorities, such as counterintelligence investigations, which sometimes includes hacking or leak investigations. Behind a veil of secrecy, Bates and the government appear to have made it OK to investigate Americans for their free speech again.
In addition, the government has revealed the FBI conducts “back door” searches — warrantless searches on U.S. persons’ data collected under FISA Section 702 – even for “assessments” of counterterrorism investigations. The FBI keeps no records of such searches, presumably because it dictated for itself in 2011 it need not keep any records of assessments. As a result, it refuses to tell Congress how many Americans have been subjected to such warrantless searches.
In a letter released Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper seemed to point to back door searches. He hailed Sen. Leahy’s version of the USA Freedom Act because it ”recognize[s] the technical limitations on our ability to report certain types of information.” The big topic the bill limited was FBI searches of 702 information. That suggests Clapper is pointing to Leahy’s exemption for FBI’s back door searches.
That would be particularly troubling given that back door searches are one area of particularly acute constitutional concern.
And if Congress doesn’t do anything about these issues, in the future the government will argue — more credibly, this time — that Congress signed off on these expansions of Executive authority.
Whether by passing USA Freedom Act this fall or by reauthorizing the Patriot Act next June, Congress is likely to extend the life of the Patriot Act. Given the absurd implications of some of the recently released FISC opinions, Congress would do well to redefine this language to reclaim the plain English meaning, contrary to FISC’s reinterpretations of it.
Thus far, however, they show no sign of doing so.

"Shifty",
By Chuck Yeager


Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy 

Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st 

Airborne Infantry. If you've seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the 

History Channel, you know Shifty. His character appears in all 10 

episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several of them. 


I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago. I didn't 

know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly gentleman having 

trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help, assured him that he was

at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle," the symbol of 

the 101st Airborne, on his hat. 

Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the 101st Airborne

or if his son was serving. He said quietly that he had been in the 

101st. I thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served,

and how many jumps he made. 

Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so, 

and was in until sometime in 1945 . . ." at which point my heart 

skipped. 


At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training 

jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy . . . do you know

where Normandy is?" At this point my heart stopped. 

I told him "yes, I know exactly where Normandy is, and I know what 

D-Day was." At that point he said "I also made a second jump into 

Holland, into Arnhem." I was standing with a genuine war hero ... 

and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of 

D-Day. 

I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France, and he said 

"Yes...And it's real sad because, these days, so few of the guys are 

left, and those that are, lots of them can't make the trip." My heart 

was in my throat and I didn't know what to say. 

 

I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in 

coach while I was in First Class. I sent the flight attendant back to 

get him and said that I wanted to switch seats. When Shifty came 

forward, I got up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have 

it, that I'd take his in coach. 


He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat. Just knowing that there are 

still some who remember what we did and who still care is enough to 

make an old man very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it.

And mine are brimming up now as I write this. 

 

Shifty died on January l7, 2012, after fighting cancer. 


There was no parade. 

No big event in Staples Center. 

No wall-to-wall, back-to-back 24/7 news coverage. 

No weeping fans on television. 

And that's not right! 


Let's give Shifty his own memorial service, on line, in our own quiet way. 

Please forward this email to everyone you know. Especially to the veterans. 

Rest in peace, Shifty. 

Chuck Yeager, Maj. General [ret.] 


P.S. I think that it is amazing how the "media" chooses our "heroes" these days...

Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston & the like.


"SHIFTY" - an incredible American hero.
Please do me a favor and pass this on so that untold thousands can read it.

We owe no less to our REAL heroes.

TRAVELODGE BANS BIBLES IN ENGLAND

Subj: Travelodge Bans Bibles in England


TRAVELODGE BANS BIBLES IN ENGLAND
By Shirley Edwards

[These are my views as a woman living in England, on how the culture and spirit of my country has changed over 50 years. Why the country does not feel protected or strong any more, how it has lost, and is losing it values and decency, and how we are daily losing our free speech.]
One of the biggest hotel chains in the UK has decided to remove bibles from all of their hotel rooms. It is reported that a decision to do this was made in 2007, and since then the removal of the bibles has been slowly implemented. They are not at liberty to supply bibles, but how much longer will it be before every other hotel chain follows suit? It is a disappointing decision they have made.
In an effort to not offend anyone with other beliefs, it is reported that Travelodge, who have 500 hotels throughout the country, have said the bibles were removed for ‘diversity’ reasons and that the country is increasing in its multicultural influences.
A bible can still be obtained from behind reception.
This is not the first time the removal of bibles has reached the press. Many attempts have been made to remove bibles in the past stating that they cause offence.
During the MRSA epidemic some hospitals in the UK wanted to ban the bible from bedside cabinets claiming that they could be the carrier of germs.
Gideon’s International has done a wonderful job in ‘freely’ supplying bibles into places where they are most needed, including hospitals and prisons. Stories abound of people who in depressed and suicidal states have found great comfort in the words of the bible, found close to hand, in the lonely recesses of a bedside cupboard. These bibles have never been inflicted on the public, as has the ‘politically correct movement’ who insist on their removal. Instead they have been faithfully placed where we can find them if needed.
The Bible consisting of 66 books does not speak of past times, but applies to life today, in this moment in time. It speaks of great horror, betrayal, murder and rape, but ultimately speaks gently of love, forgiveness and hope. Never more so than now, have we needed to hear its message.
In moments of dark despair, a spirit can speak through the words to our hearts, giving answers no other mind could ever offer or comprehend. Much like the infamous 3D pictures, where no form or understanding can initially be seen, in moments of quietness the scales can suddenly be removed from our eyes, and there all the time, the true message revealed.
The front page of the Gideon’s Bible reads:
The Bible deals with every experience in the life of man. It gives advice and help, instruction and warning, comfort and hope, correction and direction, predictions and promises. As you read this book may you receive help in time of need, guidance in life’s problems, knowledge of Jesus Christ, hope for the future, peace of mind, and an assurance of eternal life.
The removal of the bible has nothing to do with the spreading of germs, nor has it anything to do with diversity. If this is the case, then we would need serious rules in place to remove all other written material from bedside cabinets and coffee tables in hospital and hotel rooms. Some of the more liberal newspapers and magazines would be a better place to start. They wield more infection and contamination than any innocent bible ever could.

No, the removal of the bible amounts to certain powers trying to permanently remove the influence of Christianity from this once great country. People should object and stop bowing and adhering to the Politically Correct. Next it will be the cross, and then our beautiful churches will be demolished.
I sincerely hope that Gideon’s International continue in their publications and they are not condemned and removed from the places where people need them most. The lonely hotel room, the bed of sickness, the prison cell.
The request to have one from a receptionist at a Travelodge, may not be the same as a spontaneous moment when you happen across a scripture which speaks to your heart.
Gideon’s always state ‘This Book is Not to be Sold’ Lets not sell it out in the name of ‘diversity’ at the expense of even one person who may be helped by its inspiring words.
