You Will Never See This Again

You Will Never See This Again

 

Too bad this was another place and time in our history as a nation.

Thought you'd enjoy this! It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.   They won't believe this happened, but it DID.  

 

Harry & Bess   (This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.

The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in   Independence,   Missouri. His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father  and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.

 

When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a   U.S.Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to   Missouri   by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.

 

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."

Even later, on   May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

 

As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.

 

Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf.   Illinois   ).

 

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!

 

I say dig him up and clone him!

If you agree, forward it. If you don't, delete it. I don't want to know one way or the other. By me forwarding it, you know how I feel.

 

Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date!

A first-run film that casts new light on Barack Obama’s radical roots already is setting box-office records while an upcoming release that could also unsettle the White House is expected to draw a strong audience.

On the eve of the Republican National Convention, “2016: Obama’s America” is scheduled for showing in 1,074 theaters, approximately one of every four theaters in the U.S., said Jason Jones, president of Movie to Movement, the non-profit organization promoting the film.

Jones told WND it’s the largest one-week expansion of an independent film in history.

He noted that 35 percent of all tickets sold Thursday on Fandango.com, the No. 1 online movie ticket sales company, were for “2016.”

The movie drawing record crowds began with Dinesh D’Souza’s “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” Get it now at WND’s Superstore

Jones told WND he expects the audience for the film to grow all the way to the Nov. 6 election.

“We started at a single theater in Houston, Texas,” Jones said. “It was a huge success, grossing $43,000 on one screen in a week, making it a sure bet for expansion.”

Last week, “2016” had the second highest average box office sales of films in wide release, beating many high-budget films, including “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Bourne Legacy.” It came in in just behind “Expendables 2.”

Courage

Jones also screened for WND a movie to be released Sept. 14 in more than 1,200 theaters nationwide, “Last Ounce of Courage.” It’s a film about faith, patriotism and commitment to freedom that tells the story of an American family facing the loss of a beloved son in combat.

The film likely will be uncomfortable for a White House that has endorsed limitations on expressions of faith in military funerals.

“This is a movie that will speak to America,” Richard Bott Sr., the founder and chairman of Bott Radio Network. Bott’s Kansas City, Mo.-based radio Christian powerhouse broadcasts through some 90 stations, with a combined coverage of 40 million people in the Midwest.

Bott pledged to promote “Last Ounce of Courage” throughout his network free of charge.

“This is the most patriotic movie I have ever seen,” he said. “It shows why every schoolchild in America must once again be permitted to praise God openly in our nation’s school.”

Robert B. J. Jackson, Jason Jones and Marshall Teague

Robert B. J. Jackson, a former Army specialist who lost both legs in combat in Iraq, is helping to promote “Last Ounce of Courage.”

“The film is a great vehicle for people to understand the price of freedom and the peril our freedoms face every day to a government determined to remove God from America,” he said.

Marshall Teague, a Navy veteran and a former Deputy Sheriff in Memphis, Tenn., is the lead actor in the film.

“Making this film was one of the greatest spiritual and emotional experiences of my life,” Teague said.

“The movie gave me the opportunity to express what I have felt always – the importance of freedom and the sacrifices that have been made for that freedom, from the beginning of this nation to this second,” he said. “The two most important every American can say for the country we live in are ‘Thank You.’”

Jones told WND “Last Ounce of Courage” is a movie “certain to mobilize the Christian community throughout America.”

Hundreds of Christian leaders throughout the nation have already offered to sponsor the movie in their local theaters.

Follow Up Open Letter

After a highly edited version of my open letter was printed in the local newspaper. I decided to send another to all major news outlets in the UK.

Iceland did it. Why can't we?


The IMF-International Monetary Fund released a statement on the 13th of August stating "Iceland holds some key lessons for nations trying to survive bailouts after the island’s approach to its rescue led to a “surprisingly” strong recovery"

Shortly after the Bretton Woods institution published a paper urging our current Conservative Government to delay further austerity until growth returns. This paper enforced similar findings by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research. Austerity causes much more damage to an economy in recession than it would in times of growth.

Iceland are not in recession and has an incredibly positive outlook on growth for the next 2 years. So what did Iceland do that everyone else did not? Well in order to answer that we must look back to 2008. At the time of the financial crash, Iceland through bank deregulation had allowed it's financial institutions to become bloated with debt. These debts were in fact 10 times larger than their economy. The public uproar that followed these revelations, rivaled our notorious Pole Tax riots of the early 1990's.


With an enormous amount of public support the Icelandic Government took a hardline approach to the situation. First they bluntly refused to make full interest payments to the bond market and declined to blindly bail out financial institutions through public enslavement. They then restricted currency movements in order to stop capital outflow. This also served to cauterize their hemorrhaging economy and defend against speculative attack. This common sense approach  pushed most of the financial burden onto those who caused the crash, not the Tax paying public. Allowing Iceland to completely safeguard it's welfare system and shield the unemployed from indigence. They basically did everything we have been told couldn't or shouldn't be done. They Bailed out the people and arrested the corrupt bankers along with complicit politicians. They even indicted a former Prime-Minister! I do understand that there were victims of this closed off approach outside of Iceland. Some of our councils were affected by this. However the Icelandic government had to make tough decisions in order to protect it's people. As all governments should do.


You only have to look to Europe in order to see these bailouts are not working. The IMF has program arrangements with 11 struggling EU nations. Euro economies are shrinking faster than they are able to make cuts. Draconian austerity measures are beginning to affect billions not just in the Euro-Zone but here in the UK too. Drastic cuts are being made to our front-line services. Enormous bailouts and rounds of quantitative easing are having no positive affect on our economy. They only seem to insure profits for a select few.


Iceland's economy will grow this year by at least 2.4 percent  but ours will shrink further or at best, stagnate. An overwhelming amount of evidence is surfacing that seems to cast serious doubt on the UK and EU financial recovery mindset. Bailouts and austerity punish victims and compensate the guilty. Our economy has a very depressing outlook with no real positive signs visible. It will likely get much worse before it gets any better. So my question is.....

Is it time for plan B?

Plan B, Iceland style!


Kind Regards

Wiggy.

IMF Advising Against Austerity

IMF Advising Against Austerity

IMF advises delaying austerity until growth returns

Cutting government spending in a crisis will condemn a country to an even deeper recession and inflict “permanent” damage on the economy, the International Monetary Fund has warned.

The Chancellor has been told to prepare to relax austerity if the economy does not improve Photo: REUTERS

By Philip Aldrick

4:49PM BST 24 Aug 2012

In a paper that will only add to the pressure on the Chancellor, the Bretton Woods institution urged governments to delay austerity until growth returns or – if a delay was not possible – to shift the burden of any programme onto higher taxes and larger benefit cuts.

The IMF study emerged as official figures showed that the recession in the UK had not been as deep as previously feared. GDP contracted by 0.5pc in the three months to June, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), less than the 0.7pc decline initially estimated.

Stripping out the effect of the extra day’s bank holiday for the Diamond Jubilee, the economy stagnated – with growth over the three months estimated at zero.

The IMF paper echoed recent findings by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research that austerity causes more harm in recessions than at times of growth. “If you diet when you are sick, you’ll probably get a lot sicker,” Nicoletta Batini, one of the authors of the IMF report, told the BBC.

She added that every £1 cut from spending in periods of economic strength might reduce national income by 50p “but if you do it at a bad time, it could be £2 or even more than £2 permanently”.

The report, which did not examine the UK situation but focused on the US, Europe and Japan, was an attempt to identify the best pace and structure of fiscal consolidation. While recommending waiting if possible, it accepted that some countries had no choice but to cut their debts.
In that case, the IMF said: “If consolidations need to be implemented during downturns, they should prioritise increases in net taxes.” It defined “net taxes” as both increases in tax and reductions in benefits. By switching the emphasis of the cuts, she said, governments could maintain infrastructure spending.
“These are painful decisions. But abandoning productive programmes destroys jobs while higher [net] taxes do not – at least in the short term,” she said.
Roughly 40pc of George Osborne’s £123bn consolidation plan is scheduled to come from tax rises, benefit cuts, and lower debt interest costs, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The Government is thought to be examining plans for further benefit cuts to redirect the money into infrastructure such as council housing.
Last month, the IMF warned the Chancellor he should relax his austerity programme in next March’s Budget if the outlook has worsened. However, the institution has so far been supportive of the UK policy mix.
The ONS’s decision to revise up its estimate for UK growth failed to restore much confidence in the outlook. The detail provided “further evidence that the purported rebalancing of the UK economy is coming at the expense of growth”, Andrew Benito, a UK economist at Goldman Sachs, said. Net trade deducted 1 percentage point from growth while consumer spending sliced 0.3 percentage points off output.
Steven Bryce, a Credit Suisse economist, said: “This is in line with our view that the UK is currently stagnating rather than contracting.”
Most economists now expect the UK economy to contract this year and for the Bank of England to respond with more stimulus measures. Martin Weale, a Bank ratesetter, said he favoured an interest rate cut over more quantitative easing, if it could be proved rate cuts did not put banks in difficulty.
“If it were clear that the interest rate could be reduced ... without finding some banks got themselves into a position where they had to reduce lending because of the effects of an interest rate cut on their profits, I think I would probably prefer that to more QE, if I was choosing between them,” he told The Herald.

Reasonable Person Conclusion: The US Fed Has Stolen the German Bundesbank's Central Bank Gold Reserves

http://chasvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/us-fed-still-has-not-revealed-what.html

The US Fed Has Stolen the German Bundesbank's Central Bank Gold Reserves

The US Fed Still has not Disclosed What They've Done with Germany's Gold Reserves! Enough to make a prudent man wonder how many other foreign central banks may  have had their custodial gold 'misplaced' by the Fed, eh? 

Are you beginning to understand why the US Fed is terrified of an independent congressional audit? Grabbing ETF and COMEX gold is just a 'walk in the park'.

The Stranger!

The Stranger! 

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town.  From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family.

 

The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my
family.  In my young mind, he had a special niche.

My parents were complementary instructors:  Mom taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey.

But the stranger... he was our storyteller.  He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.  If I wanted to know anything about politics, history
or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future!

 

He took my family to the first major league ball game.  He made me laugh, and he made me cry.  The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. (I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)

Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them.  Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors.  Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush.

My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis.  He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished.

He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex.  His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally
embarrassing.

I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger.  Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked ... And NEVER asked to leave.

More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family.  He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first.  Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.

His name? 

We just call him 'TV.'


(Note:  This should be required
reading for every household!)


He has a wife now....we call her 'Computer.'

Their first child is "Cell Phone."


Second child "I Pod."

Mystery Surrounding 1.2 Billion Rounds Of Ammo Solved

Mystery Surrounding 1.2 Billion Rounds Of Ammo Solved

August 23rd, 2012

Goto commentsLeave a comment

Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul: The mystery surrounding the purpose for the U.S. government’s procurement of 1.2 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition just got a boost Tuesday.

On the heels of an article penned by Major General Jerry Curry (Ret.), titled, Who Does The Government Intend to Shoot?, a piece written by a retired U.S. general who questions the bizarre series of monstrous ammunition by unlikely agencies of the federal government, host Rick Wiles of TruNews Radio (Aug. 22) revealed to his listeners the answer to the mystery of the billion bullets. Get my next ALERT 100% FREE

After years warning of the out-of-the-blue presidential candidacy of Barrack Obama, Wiles appears most certain, again, that a powerful connection can be made between information he’s received from a high-level informant at Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—regarding the approximately 20,000 Russian commandos suspected of legally entering the U.S. from Canada—and conversations he had with an old acquaintance, the famous Russian spy of the old Soviet Union era, Colonel Stanislav Lunev.

“Colonel Stanislav Lunev told me, personally, years ago—he said, the Russian military strategy is, that, we [Russians] will strike so hard [at the U.S.], that there will be such shock, that the American people will surrender,” Wiles recalls, during a conversation he had with the spy over a several-day period in 1999.

“He was not talking about a nuclear, chemical [or] biological attack; he was talking about commandos in the country [U.S.].  He said . . . this is what he said, Spetznazs, which are the Russian commandos. . . GET A FREE TREND ANALYSIS FOR ANY STOCK HERE!

“He said, they have the names addresses of every member of Congress, and the Senate, their wives, their children, the school that they go to, all the cabinet members, all of the head officials in Washington, all the officials in state governments.  And he said, they will all be assassinated, quickly.”

From 1988 through 1992, Lunev, the highest-ranking Russian KGB spy to defect to the United States, explained to American authorities that he was deployed by Moscow to actively seek strategic locations within America for the launching of biological, chemical and suitcase-size nuclear devices in the event of a hot war between the two superpowers.

Though, initially thought to be fantastic tales told by a trained professional of deception, Lunev’s seemingly incredulous assertions of an elaborate plot to attack America from within was later confirmed by former SVR officer Alexander Kouzminov, who stated in his book, Biological Espionage: Special Operations of the Soviet and Russian Foreign Intelligence Services in the West, the Soviet Union  “was the only country in the world that could start and win a global biological war, something we had already established that the West was not ready for.”

According to Wiles, Lunev “said there will be a massive decapitation of the American government from top to bottom in a matter of days, and we [Russians] will put the country into a state of shock.

“That, he said, is the official strategy, and that’s what they [leaders in Moscow] plan to do, and, he said, it has never changed.” [emphasis added].

And here’s why the U.S. has procured 1.2 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition, according to Wiles.  Moreover, according to him, the Russians appear to be correct in their assessment: the American people are so distracted by lives of entertainment, of consumption and of derelictions of civic duty, that the Russian plan to destroy America from within is quite achievable.

“Let’s not forget that the real person running [Department of] Homeland Security is not Janet Napolitano, it is Valarie Jarrett, the communist,” Wiles explains.  “And her father-in-law was Vernon Jarrett, who was a close confidant of Frank Marshal Davis, Barrack Obama’s communist mentor.

“And so, I’m going to continue to say on this radio program that, I believe Valarie Jarrett and David Axelrod, and these other commies are the real architects of this sinister plan to stockpile 1.2 billion rounds of ammo throughout the country.

“That it is not for law enforcement; it is to be turned over to a communist revolutionary army in this country.”

Wiles goes on to say that most Americans don’t realize that President Barrack Obama is a communist.  “They don’t know it,” and “they don’t care,” says Wiles.

But, when the communist takeover is unleashed, presumably by a false-flag event or dollar devaluation, the American people will be in shock, he adds, just as Russians were shocked by the Bolshevik revolution and the rise of Joseph Stalin, the man who’s credited with the extermination of approximately 80 million Russians during his reign.

“An old fashion communist revolution is on the way,” says Wiles, suggesting, too, that that fact will become apparent soon enough, executed very quickly, and will shock, yet, another nation along history’s many roads to Communism.

Old People!

Harold was an old man. He was sick
and in the hospital.There was one nurse
that just drove him crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk
to him like he was a little child. She
would say in a patronizing tone of voice,
’And how are we doing this morning',

or 'Are we ready for a bath', or 'Are we hungry?'
Old Harold had had enough of this
particular nurse. One day, at breakfast,
Old Harold took the apple juice off the
tray and put it in his bed side stand.
Next, he was given a urine bottle
to fill for testing.
So you know where the juice went!

The nurse came in a little later, picked
up the urine bottle and looked at it.
'My, it seems we are a little cloudy today. '
At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle
out of her hand, popped off the top,
and drank it down, saying,
'Well, I'll run it through again.
Maybe I can filter it better this time.'
The nurse fainted!
Old Harold just smiled!

DON'T MESS WITH 'OLD' PEOPLE!!!!

Let the strongholds of ignorance be brought down low! Let the blind see! Let the deaf hear! Heal them and set them free in My Name! My Name is the mightiest weapon there ever was or ever will be. USE IT WITH THE PRECISION AND EXPERTISE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TAUGHT YOU TO USE. You have not been in the school of the Holy Spirit all these months and years for no reason. GET OUT THERE AND USE WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT YOU!

I am calling you to come out, and to shine! Be My light in this season! Invade earth with Heaven! Sound the trumpet and declare My truth. I am moving through you, whose Identity is in Me. When you hear Me and humbly obey Me by speaking forth My words of truth; It will release a fresh wind of My Spirit, and cause a wild fire of manifestation and revival to burst forth throughout the lands!

These are exciting times, beloved. I have raised up a people who trust Me; a people who know they are Mine; a people whose identity is in Me, their Heavenly Daddy.

I am empowering My chosen ones to walk in Supernatural Power. They are mighty men and woman of Mine. They will release My greatness upon the earth, and they will honor Me with all their praises! My chosen ones come frequently to My Throne room to receive their instructions. They watch and listen. Then they return to earth and share all that they have seen and heard and come to know. They are bringing Heaven to Earth right now!

In this season many will be changed, transformed, renewed and restored by My Glory, power and authority; Many will come to have a new identity in Me!

By My Grace and Mercy I am releasing Abundant Life in a way that I have not released it before on the earth!
