Three Holy Men and a Bear

Three Holy Men and a Bear

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served   as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard, a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion.

Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences. Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went
first.

'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.'

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip.

In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he exclaimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we Baptists don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.

So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his  hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus..Hallelujah!

The Priest and the Reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.

The Rabbi  looked up and said: "Looking back on it, ....circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Does China Plan To Establish “China Cities” All Over America? Forwarded By Erasmus Of America Jan. 30, 2013

Does China Plan To Establish “China Cities” And “Special Economic Zones” All Over America?

January 23, 2013

What in the world is China up to?  Over the past several years, the Chinese government and large Chinese corporations (which are often at least partially owned by the government) have been systematically buying up businesses, homes, farmland, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources all over America.  In some cases, China appears to be attempting to purchase entire communities in one fell swoop.  So why is this happening?  Is this some form of “economic colonization” that is taking place?  Some have speculated that China may be intending to establish “special economic zones” inside the United States modeled after the very successful Chinese city of Shenzhen.  Back in the 1970s, Shenzhen was just a very small fishing village, but now it is a sprawling metropolis of over 14 million people.  Initially, these “special economic zones” were only established within China, but now the Chinese government has been buying huge tracts of land in foreign countries such as Nigeria and establishing special economic zones in those nations.  So could such a thing actually happen in America?  Well, according to Dr. Jerome Corsi, a plan being pushed by the Chinese Central Bank would set up “development zones” in the United States that would allow China to “establish Chinese-owned businesses and bring in its citizens to the U.S. to work.”  Under the plan, some of the $1.17 trillionthat the U.S. owes China would be converted from debt to “equity”.  As a result, “China would own U.S. businesses, U.S. infrastructure and U.S. high-value land, all with a U.S. government guarantee against loss.”  Does all of this sound far-fetched?  Well, it isn’t.  In fact, the economic colonization of America is already far more advanced than most Americans would dare to imagine.
So how in the world did we get to this point?  A few decades ago, the United States was the unchallenged economic powerhouse of the world and China was essentially a third world country.
So what happened?
Well, we entered into a whole bunch of extremely unfavorable “free trade” agreements, and countries such as China began to aggressively use “free trade” as an economic weapon against us.
Over the past decade, we have lost tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs to China.  When the final numbers for 2012 come out, our trade deficit with China for the year will be well over 300 billion dollars, and that will be the largest trade deficit that one country has had with another country in the history of the world.
Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.  That 2.3 trillion dollars could have gone to U.S. businesses and U.S. workers, and in turn taxes would have been paid on all of that money.  But instead, all of that money went to China.
Rather than just sitting on all of that money, China has been lending much of it back to us – at interest.  We now owe China more than a trillion dollars, and our politicians are constantly pleading with China to lend more money to us so that we can finance our exploding debt.
Today, the U.S. government pays China approximately 100 million dollars a day in interest on the debt that we owe them.  Those that say that the U.S. debt “does not matter” are being incredibly foolish.
So thanks to our massive trade deficit and our exploding national debt, China is systematically getting wealthier and the United States is systematically getting poorer.
And now China is starting to use a lot of that wealth to aggressively expand their power and influence around the globe.
But isn’t it more than a bit far-fetched to suggest that China may be planning to establish Chinese cities and special economic zones in America?
Not really.
Just look at what has already happened up in Canada.  It is well-known that the Chinese population of Vancouver, Canada has absolutely exploded in recent years.  In fact, the Vancouver suburb of Richmond is now approximately half Chinese.  The following is an excerpt from a BBC article…
Richmond is North America’s most Asian city – 50% of residents here identify themselves as Chinese. But it’s not just here that the Chinese community in British Columbia (BC) – some 407,000 strong – has left its mark. All across Vancouver, Chinese-Canadians have helped shape the local landscape.
A similar thing is happening in many communities along the west coast of the United States.  In fact, Chinese citizens purchased one out of every ten homes that were sold in the state of California in 2011.
But in other areas of the United States, the Chinese are approaching things much more systematically.
For example, as I have written about previously, a Chinese group identified as “Sino-Michigan Properties LLC” has purchased 200 acres of land near the town of Milan, Michigan.  Their stated goal is to build a “China City” that has artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens.
In other instances, large chunks of real estate in major U.S. cities that are down on their luck are being snapped up by Chinese investors.  Just check out what a Fortune article from a while back says has been happening over in Toledo, Ohio…
In March 2011, Chinese investors paid $2.15 million cash for a restaurant complex on the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. Soon they put down another $3.8 million on 69 acres of newly decontaminated land in the city’s Marina District, promising to invest $200 million in a new residential-commercial development. That September, another Chinese firm spent $3 million for an aging hotel across a nearby bridge with a view of the minor league ballpark.
Toledo is being promoted to Chinese investors as a “5-star logistics region“.  From Toledo it is very easy to get to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Indianapolis…
With a population of 287,000, Toledo is only the fourth largest city in Ohio, but it lies at the junction of two important highways — I-75 and I-80/90. “My vision is to make Toledo a true international city,” Toledo’s Mayor Mike Bell told the Toledo Blade.
But some of these deals appear to be about far more than just making “investments”.  According to the Idaho Statesman, a Chinese company known as Sinomach (which is actually controlled by the Chinese government) was actually interested in developing a 50 square mile self-sustaining “technology zone” south of the Boise airport…
A Chinese national company is interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes south of the Boise Airport.
Officials of the China National Machinery Industry Corp. have broached the idea — based on a concept popular in China today — to city and state leaders.
The article suggested that this “technology zone” would be modeled after similar projects that already exist in China, and that Chinese officials were conducting similar negotiations with other U.S. states as well…
Sinomach is not looking only at Idaho.
The company sent delegations to Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania this year to talk about setting up research and development bases and industrial parks. It has an interest in electric transmission projects and alternative energy as well.
The technology zone proposal follows a model of science, technology and industrial parks in China — often fully contained cities with all services included.
Thankfully the deal in Idaho appears to be stalled for now, but could we soon see China establish special economic zones in other communities all around America?
The Chinese certainly do seem to be laying the groundwork for something.  They have been voraciously gobbling up important infrastructure all over the country.  The following comes from a recentAmerican Free Press article…
In addition to already owning vital ports in Long Beach, Calif. and Boston, Mass., the China Ocean Shipping Company is eyeing major ports on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. China also owns access to ports at the entry and exit points of the Panama Canal.
And due to fiscal woes plaguing many American cities and states, U.S. legislators have been actively seeking out Chinese investors. In one of the worst cases, Baton Rouge, La., Mayor Kip Holden offered the Chinese government ownership and operating rights to a new toll way system if the Chinese would provide the funding to build it.
Does it make sense for the Chinese to own some of our most important ports?
Isn’t there a national security risk?
Sadly, there isn’t much of anything that our politicians won’t sell these days as long as someone is willing to flash a lot of cash.
The Chinese have also been busy buying up important real estate on the east coast as a recent Forbes article explained….
According to a recent report in the New York Times, investors from China are “snapping up luxury apartments” and are planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on commercial and residential projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. Chinese companies also have signed major leases at the Empire State Building and at 1 World Trade Center, the report said.
But it is not only just land and infrastructure that the Chinese have been buying up.
They have also been purchasing rights to vital oil and natural gas deposits all over the United States.
There have been two Chinese companies that have been primarily involved in this effort.
The first is the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).  According to Wikipedia, CNOOC is 100 percent owned by the Chinese government…
CNOOC Group is a state-owned oil company, fully owned by the Government of the People’s Republic of China, and the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) performs the rights and obligations of shareholder on behalf of the government.
The second is Sinopec Corporation.  Sinopec Group is the largest shareholder (approx. 75% ownership) in Sinopec Corporation.  And asthe Sinopec website tells us, Sinopec Group is fully owned by the Chinese government…
Sinopec Group, the largest shareholder of Sinopec Corp., is a super-large petroleum and petrochemical group incorporated by the State in 1998 based on the former China Petrochemical Corporation. Funded by the State, it is a State authorized investment arm and State-owned controlling company.
So whenever you see CNOOC or Sinopec, you can replace those names with the Chinese government.  The Chinese government essentially runs both of those companies.
And as you can see from the following list compiled by the Wall Street Journal, those two companies have been extremely aggressive in buying up rights to oil and natural gas all over the nation…
Colorado: Cnooc gained a one-third stake in 800,000 acres in northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming in a $1.27 billion pact with Chesapeake Energy Corp.
Louisiana: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 265,000 acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale after a broader $2.5-billion deal with Devon Energy.
Michigan: Sinopec gained a one-third interest in 350,000 acres in a larger $2.5 billion deal with Devon Energy.
Ohio: Sinopec acquired a one-third stake in Devon Energy’s 235,000 Utica Shale acres in a larger $2.5 billion deal.
Oklahoma: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 215,000 acres in a broader $2.5 billion deal with Devon Energy.
Texas: Cnooc acquired a one-third interest in Chesapeake Energy’s 600,000 acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in a $2.16-billion deal.
Wyoming: Cnooc has a one-third stake in 800,000 acres in northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming after a $1.27 billion pact with Chesapeake Energy. Sinopec gained a one-third interest in Devon Energy’s 320,000 acres as part of a larger $2.5 billion deal.
Gulf of Mexico: Cnooc Ltd. separately acquired minority stakes in some of Statoil ASA’s leases as well as six of Nexen Inc.’s deep-water wells.
So why is the U.S. government allowing this?
That is a very good question.
For a nation that purports to be pursuing “energy independence”, we sure do have a funny way of going about things.
Unfortunately, the sad truth is that China is absolutely mopping the floor with the United States on the global economic stage.  China is rising and America is in an advanced state of decline.  Global economic power has shifted dramatically and most Americans still don’t understand what has happened.
The following are 44 more signs of how dominant the economy of China has become…
1. A Chinese firm recently made a $2.6 billion offer to buy movie theater chain AMC.
2. A different Chinese firm made a $1.8 billion offer to buy aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft.
3. In December it was announced that a Chinese group would be purchasing AIG’s plane leasing unit for $4.23 billion.
4. It was recently announced that the Federal Reserve will now allow Chinese banks to buy up American banks.
5. A $190 million bridge project up in Alaska was awarded to a Chinese firm.
6. A $400 million contract to renovate the Alexander Hamilton bridge in New York was awarded to a Chinese firm.
7. A $7.2 billion contract to construct a new bridge between San Francisco and Oakland was awarded to a Chinese firm.
8. The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
9. 85 percent of all artificial Christmas trees are made in China.
10. The new World Trade Center tower is going to include glass that has been imported from China.
11. The new Martin Luther King memorial on the National Mall was made in China.
12. In 2001, American consumers spent 102 billion dollars on products made in China.  In 2011, American consumers spent 399 billion dollarson products made in China.
13. The United States spends about 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that China spends on goods and services from the United States.
14. According to the New York Times, a Jeep Grand Cherokee that costs $27,490 in the United States costs about $85,000 in China thanks to all the tariffs.
15. The Chinese economy has grown 7 times faster than the U.S. economy has over the past decade.
16. The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.
17. The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.
18. Overall, the United States has lost a total of more than 56,000manufacturing facilities since 2001.
19. According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year.
20. Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost.
21. In 2010, China produced more than twice as many automobiles as the United States did.
22. Since the auto industry bailout, approximately 70 percent of all GM vehicles have been built outside the United States.
23. After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, General Motors is currently involved in 11 joint ventures with companies owned by the Chinese government.  The price for entering into many of these “joint ventures” was a transfer of “state of the art technology” from General Motors to the communist Chinese.
24. Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the world’s high-tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Ten years later, the United States had less than 15 percent and China’s share had soared to 20 percent.
25. The United States has lost more than a quarter of all of its high-tech manufacturing jobs over the past ten years.
26. China’s number one export to the U.S. is computer equipment.
27. The number one U.S. export to China is “scrap and trash”.
28. The U.S. trade deficit with China is now more than 28 times largerthan it was back in 1990.
29. Back in 1985, the U.S. trade deficit with China was just 6 million dollars for the entire year.  For the month of November 2012 alone, the U.S. trade deficit with China was 28.9 billion dollars.
30. China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
31. China is now the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
32. China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
33. China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
34. Today, China produces nearly twice as much beer as the United States does.
35. Right now, China is producing more than three times as much coal as the United States does.
36. China now produces 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
37. China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
38. China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of U.S. defense systems.
39. A recent investigation by the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services found more than one million counterfeit Chinese parts in the Department of Defense supply chain.
40. 15 years ago, China was 14th in the world in published scientific research articles.  But now, China is expected to pass the United States and become number one very shortly.
41. China now awards more doctoral degrees in engineering each year than the United States does.
42. According to one study, the Chinese economy already has roughly the same amount of purchasing power as the U.S. economy does.
43. According to the IMF, China will pass the United States and will become the largest economy in the world in 2016.
44. Nobel economist Robert W. Fogel of the University of Chicago is projecting that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040 if current trends continue.
Without the “globalization” of the world economy, none of this would have ever happened.  But instead of admitting our mistakes and fixing them, our politicians continue to press for even more “free trade” and even more integration with communist nations such as China.
In fact, according to Dr. Jerome Corsi, the U.S. government has already set up 257 “foreign trade zones” all over America.  These “foreign trade zones” are apparently given “special U.S. customs treatment” and are used to promote “free trade”…
Corsi noted that the U.S. government has created 257 foreign trade zones, or FTZs, throughout the United States, designed to extend special U.S. customs treatment to U.S. plants engaged in international-trade-related activities.
The FTZs tend to be located near airports, with easy access into the continental NAFTA and WTO multi-modal transportation systems being created to move free-trade goods cheaply, quickly and efficiently throughout the continent of North America.
“There is nothing in the U.S. government’s description of FTZs that would prevent a foreign government, like China, from operating a shell U.S. company that is in reality owned and financed by the Chinese government and operated through a Chinese government-owned corporation,” Corsi wrote.
Sadly, we are probably going to see a whole lot more of this in the years ahead.
According to Corsi, a professor of economics at Tsighua University in Beijing named Yu Qiao has suggested the following plan as a way to transform the debt that the United States owes China into something more “tangible”…

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

1. China would negotiate with the U.S. government to create a “crisis relief facility,” or CRF. The CRF “would be used alongside U.S. federal efforts to stabilize the banking system and to invest in capital-intensive infrastructure projects such as high-speed railroad from Boston to Washington, D.C.
2. China would pool a portion of its holdings of Treasury bonds under the CFR umbrella to convert sovereign debt into equity. Any CFR funds that were designated for investment in U.S. corporations would still be owned and managed by U.S. equity holders, with the Asians holding minority equity shares “that would, like preferred stock, be convertible.”
3. The U.S. government would act as a guarantor, “providing a sovereign guarantee scheme to assure the investment principal of the CRF against possible default of targeted companies or projects”.
4. The Federal Reserve would set up a special account to supply the liquidity the CRF would require to swap sovereign debt into industrial investment in the United States.

Apparently the Bank of China really likes this plan and would like to see something like this implemented.
In the years ahead, perhaps many of you will end up working in a “special economic zone” for a Chinese company on a project that is being financially guaranteed by the U.S. government.
If that sounds like a form of slavery to you, the truth is that you are probably not too far off the mark.
The borrower is the servant of the lender, and we should have never allowed ourselves to get into so much debt.
Now we will pay the price.
To get an idea of how much the world has changed in recent years, just check out this incredible photo which contrasts the decline of Detroit over the years with the amazing rise of Shanghai, China.
Things did not have to turn out this way.  Unfortunately, we made decades of incredibly foolish decisions and we wrecked the greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen.
Now the future for America looks really bleak.
Or could it be that I am being too pessimistic?  Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below…

In regard to this Great Book [the Bible], I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to men. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it. (Abraham Lincoln)

New national website for Erasmus Of America is www.fastboomamericaneconomy.com . Email address is fastboomamericaneconomy.com@gmail.com . Send your email to us and say "Add To List." We are sending out unusual national reports to help get valuable truth out so others can then spread more of the truth nationally and internationally. We and others like us are like the Committees of Correspondence which brought the truth to the Thirteen Colonies and let the American people then know what was going on when the British didn't want the Thirteen Colonies to know about troop movements intended to militarily occupy and crush the Thirteen Colonies which wanted God-given freedom and economic prosperity for themselves. 

     I grew up with some Chinese families in America and liked them. However, the Chinese under Communist rule have a long range Chinese patience the Americans do not of carrying out long range plans for the conquest and takeover of America soon. It would be very naive to underestimate how practical the Chinese are in long range plans against America. They used cheap Chinese labor to replace American industries and jobs. And kept building up the debt of America to China by cheap labor manufacturing and having cheap Chinese products systemically take over more and more of the American market until now apparently they try to use American debt to pressure Obama Wash., D.C. to turn over parts of America to Chinese control and ownership. 

     Better back my proposed Omni Law into national law so China does not end up owning much, most, to all of America. Look up my Omni Law in the search box for Nesara News and put in Omni Law or Erasmus of America (my pen name) to read my Omni Law designed to save America from having chunks of America soon confiscated to Europe, Russia, China, Mexico, etc. Also, be careful of Washington sponsored immigration reform. Once the standards are officially relaxed, there are strong rumors that Obama wants to bring in 50 million Muslim aliens into America and then America is taken over by the Muslims. In "politically correct" America, no one is supposed to state the real truth because you are being brainwashed and trained to avoid the hard truth like bubonic plague.   You get upset with those who tell you the truth, not those who lie to you and tell you the pleasant lies you want to hear about how wonderful things are shaping up in America. I probably have two or more good engineering answers how to get for a few hundred dollars your average car up to maybe 70 to 90 miles per gallon on ordinary gasoline, but Wash., D.C. through legal double-talk would never let you have this for your cars unless my Omni Law is passed first. Wash., D.C. is corrupt or else they would allow you to get cheaper gasoline by tactics like this which would give you more money to grow the national economy with. And gas mileage increased by tactics like this pretty much eliminates the "pollution" of the atmosphere if true, but Wash. acts like it doesn't know this. I admit that carbon monoxide is bad for you, but people seem to forget that plants need carbon dioxide which is different than carbon monoxide to grow with. I saw a science report that the amount of carbon dioxide is just above the suffocation factor for the earth. Get a little lower and no crops can grow on earth after that and the human race dies due to worldwide famine. If Wash., D.C. under Obama through carbon taxes, etc. gets the carbon dioxide a little lower for the earth, then maybe suddenly the whole human race dies due to environmental fanaticism in Wash., D.C. NASA reported that 90% of the oxygen produced in the world from carbon dioxide comes from the oceans plankton and only 10% from the trees and other plants on land. I agree to protect the environment in the oceans from toxic poisoning by man. However, the environmental policy in land issues is a socialist front to confiscate your property rights in America and not a legitimate scientific issue. As Gorbachev said when he came to America and wrote to the American Communists, the environmental movement in America was secretly controlled by the Communists and would be the means by law to turn America into a Communist nation without the naive Americans ever figuring how this all happened to them! With a heavy background in military intelligence, I don't fall for the liberal politician con tricks too many Americans fall for! I know the difference between Washington propaganda and the real truth whether economic, science, environmental, legal, etc. I listen to the smart sources in various fields who know the truth and they expand my knowledge of the truth and I expand their knowledge of truth in fields that I am more the expert in than they might be. But I always respect brains wherever I find it! And as my wise mother said many years ago, "A good leader is a good evaluator." And a smart people are those who listen to smart leaders in various important fields so they are not misled by fools and con artists from Wash., D.C. and elsewhere.

     Yours for God and Country, Erasmus of America (pen name for one speaking the truth in a 1984 style Matrix culture where "politically correct' is in power and truth is outlawed if the power elite can get away with it. As George Orwell who wrote the prophetic novel "1984" once commented, "In a society of universal deceit, it is a revolutionary act to speak the truth!"

At 81, almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia , and served as its first president.

At 83, died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, along with John Adams

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ." -- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -- Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." -- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!

I'm doing my part. Please do yours.

This will cheer you up no matter what!  Very funny act...and watching the audience response is therapeutic!

This video is from all the way back to the Reagan Presidency. He is sitting with Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil and Senator Baker, enjoying an evening together at the Ford theater. A very funny act takes place on stage. With all the security that takes place around any of our Presidents today, nothing the performer does here could ever take place now.

Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation 01/29/2013 1 Cauac, 7 Yax, 9 Eb Dratzo! We return! Your world is being held in a sacred limbo, awaiting the magic touch that only Heaven can provide. Heaven decreed a short delay in order to afford humanity an integration period into these very new energies. Long ago, when the Anunnaki wished to rule over you, a special agreement was put forth which stipulated that the period of dark rule would only be allowed for around 13 millennia. This time has come and is well and truly gone. The collapse of the many timelines into one was the final verification for the dark's earthly minions that the moment for transformation has arrived. Now there is a brief transition during which the dark's soldiers are to surrender and let the new epoch commence. The dark, as ever, has arrogantly refused this offer and so, under Heaven's strict command, we have removed a number of these recalcitrants and placed them under the supervision of a group of Agarthan and Federation personnel. This group now has a considerable number of these individuals in safekeeping, and these numbers will no doubt continue to grow until this issue is fully resolved. As noted above, the matter is now at a kind of sacred standstill. Our forces are at the ready to support the legal de jure change in governance and we have also obtained a number of agreements which are to be implemented once the sacred signal is given. In this regard both the legal and the military divisions of the various governments-to-be-changed assure us that they are ready to affect a transfer of power upon receipt of the formal signal. We have graciously asked our heavenly mentors to reassure us that the time schedule originally given to us is indeed still the one in operation; in response, those who are to give the signal have repeatedly informed us that this schedule is indeed the one that we will be executing. Our many liaison teams are in place and prepared to see that all goes according to plan when the sacred moment arrives. On that front we have undertaken a series of formal exercises to ensure that this situation is resolved as quickly as possible. Of course the dark continues to be closely monitored, as it is known for pulling a real doozy of a delaying tactic at the last moment! Our secret sacred allies are also ready to move when called upon and we are monitoring your world to see that nothing other than the ordinary round of world affairs takes place. The dark and its minions are scurrying around your globe looking for ways to steal funds from anywhere they can, and while these sorties have proved to be mostly unsuccessful, a bit of collateral has been acquired. This confirms to us that these rascals have no intention of ever abiding by any agreement made between us, and that our liaison personnel need to be very careful when dealing with these unrelenting ones. We are truly relieved to think that this will be the last time for such discouraging exchanges! Once the green light is given, we are prepared with a series of strategies to ensure that the initial phases of our operation proceed swiftly and surely. When the first phase is complete, the new governance, the new monies, and the new prosperity will be firmly and securely in place, and then all that is needed is to make it all permanent. This transition of your society is fully backed by a ton of corroborative documents. The dark has no remaining wriggle-room and only a very short time before the sacred trumpet is sounded. At that moment a great Light will spread across Gaia and a new epoch will be formally begun. We intend to stage a large display in several parts of your world which will signal the start of what is to follow. Decades have passed since we first asked your governments, just after World War II, to end the secrecy, disclose our existence, and reveal the technology they had acquired. To a man, these governments refused to do so, and yet these early requests of ours are now to manifest on your world. This will be a watershed event. A new history and a true account of your origins can then officially be written, allowing all the many lies told to you since childhood to simply fade away and be replaced by the truth. It is also the moment for you to learn of the upcoming joys of full consciousness. Blessings! We are your Ascended Masters! We come on this day to inform you that a grand miracle is ready to appear on your world. Centuries ago, Count Saint Germaine established a special world trust that was matched in the East by Kwan Yin. These two treasuries are now to pay out a vast fortune that will bring prosperity to the Earth plane. We rejoice in all that Heaven has decreed and set forth for humanity! The new prosperity is to transform your realm and bring you to the brink of a great shift in consciousness. Our blessed task is to lead you to full consciousness with the wise assistance of our Agarthan and space families. Together we are to reunite the two now-separate worlds of Gaia into one. In this sacred unity you are to find the means to rise up out of your amnesia and rediscover your divine inner truths. These truths will change your current beliefs and set the stage for your new galactic society. This new galactic society is to be a blend of various models practiced throughout this galaxy. As one of your mentors our blessed task is to guide you by applying our wisdom to these matters. Shortly after your return to full consciousness, planetwide meetings will be convened to thrash out a basic model for birthing your own galactic society. We envision your choices to be wise, and know that by employing this template you can swiftly repopulate the worlds of Venus, Mars, and Pax. This new multiplanet star-nation will then initiate its first grand mission: cementing peace throughout this galaxy! This will be the first of many missions that will bring us into contact with tens of thousands of nearby galaxies. What we are to achieve together is a series of mission that will express our divine service to Creation. The remaining moments of your early steps in this new energy, and before our work together begins, are for you to prepare yourselves to explain these events to your family and community. We have our part to play as well. Many blessed facts need to be shown to this realm. The societies of Gaia are trapped in a set of beliefs that were perpetrated to maintain a two-tiered, dark-ruled society. This entrenched belief structure can only be set aside by what we can do at the appropriate time. Our various secret sacred societies require a special announcement by the new governance to set things in motion. This will lead to our mass reappearance so that we can again teach and express our sacred wisdom. These teachings will cancel out much of what you now believe to be true, and will show the way for all that is to follow. A great joy is about to sweep through your world and create a new epoch for humanity! Today, we gave you another overview of what is shortly to happen. Many sacred factions are coming together and setting the stage for a unique time in your history! The belief held by many of you, that you are alone and unique in the cosmos, is now to be superseded forever. Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

Got Hubris?? Las Vegas “Godfather” Puts Out a Hit on Chuck Hagel

Got Hubris?? Las Vegas “Godfather” Puts Out a Hit on Chuck Hagel

Posted By: Lion [Send E-Mail]
Date: Tuesday, 29-Jan-2013 21:48:03

-------------------------- by Kevin Barrett Sheldon Adelson, the notorious Las Vegas “godfather” accused of money laundering, prostitution, and similar activities, just put out a hit – on Chuck Hagel’s nomination as Secretary of Defense. The New York Times, reporting on a new anonymous-dirty-money campaign against Hagel, states that Adelson “is so invested in the fight over Mr. Hagel that he has reached out directly to Republican Senators to urge them to hold the line against his confirmation.” Why would Sheldon Adelson, today’s Meyer Lansky, be leading a dirty-money campaign against Chuck Hagel? Is he afraid that the Defense Department under Chuck Hagel would go after the mafia, the way John and Robert Kennedy’s Justice Department did? Obviously the Defense Department cannot target domestic organized crime. The real reason Adelson put out the Hagel hit will never be reported in the New York Times, Israel’s flagship “American” publication. The truth is that Sheldon Adelson, like Meyer Lansky, heads a foreign crime syndicate whose headquarters is the “criminal state” of Israel. The Zionist mob views Hagel as a threat to their operations. Just as Bobby Kennedy was a threat to J. Edgar “there is no organized crime in America” Hoover, any US Senator who proclaims: “I’m not an Israeli senator. I’m a United States senator” threatens the taboo on admitting that Israel owns and operates Congress, the media, and much of Wall Street – and does so on behalf of a foreign-based mob that is said to control as much as one-third of global organized crime. The New York Times attributes the anonymous dirty-money campaign against Hagel to “conservative groups.” This is a lie. Hagel, a moderate to conservative Republican, would never be opposed by conservatives, who are happy to see Obama appointing a relatively conservative Defense chief. It is rabid Zionists – not conservatives – who are targeting Hagel. Some of these rabid Zionists hide behind the “neocon” label. They’re the ones who pretend to be conservatives. These include some of Adelman’s mob associates, such as the Koch brothers. Others, equally committed to the Zionist cause, pose as “radical peaceniks” and oppose Hagel from the left. Take my old pal Allen Ruff - please! Zionists dressed up as leftists are the ones attacking Hagel as “anti-Gay, anti-woman and anti-Israel.” The world’s biggest crime syndicate is gunning for Hagel as an extension of their unsuccessful campaign to put money laundering capo Mitt Romney in the White House. Will they lose this one too? And if so, will the folks who are not part of the Likudnik global crime syndicate, including many top US military leaders, decide it’s finally time to bust the Zionist mob? When a mob chieftain puts out a hit on someone, and the hit fails, serious consequences typically ensue. A failed hit generally signals that the guys who put out the hit are on the way out. Will Adelson & Co.’s failed hit on Obama’s campaign, and now the Chuck Hagel nomination, seal their doom? Or will Americans, including our top military leaders (who could put the Zionist mob out of business with a “Constitutional counter-coup”) continue to roll over and allow their country to be destroyed by a gang of thugs based in Occupied Palestine?

(Alliance for Natural Health - USA) Why is one of mercury’s most dangerous applications—human vaccines—exempted from the ban? An update to our recent report. A week of complex discussions in Geneva ended with governments from around the world agreeing to a global, legally binding treaty to limit mercury use. The Minamata Convention on Mercury, named after the Japanese city where thousands of residents fell ill with mercury poisoning in the 1950s, bans the production, export, and import by 2020 of a wide range of products and processes where mercury is used or released. Products include implantable medical devices, switches and relays, certain fluorescent lamps, soaps and cosmetics, and some medical devices such as thermometers and blood pressure devices. Mercury-added dental amalgams are also to be phased out. What’s exempted? Products used for military and civil protection; those with no mercury-free alternative; those used in religious or traditional practices; and vaccines in which the organomercury compound thimerosal, about which we have written about extensively, is used as a preservative.

------------ Thanks Kindly, B Re: Video: Stew Webb - Bush Crime Syndicate, A.... To: Lion Once again,my warm and honest greetings and respect to you and all of your group likewise to all of my fellow man. (my apologies to my grammar) I am here only to send some words regarding physical body transformation and the doorway that connects from the source. I am also sorry for I don`t write the words like somebody does. Eternal light from the source called: The All that Is, The Creation, The Source of all Power from the Universes, The Great Light, and many more names left for us our from ancient ancestors. That source of light has been in the Universes billions of billions of years ago and it is the source of life that runs the universes - - with its own mystery that not yet know to mankind and without the power and the Law of Creation, Universe don`t exist, no Galaxies, no Solar Systems, no other life form beings in the Universes, and no human beings on Earth, and no Earth. What matter most is we are invented humans and everyone knew that this time that those who came down from heavens (we called them God or Gods) are not God at all. They are the master space travelers and scientist who invented humans via DNA manipulation. Without their understanding that come from the "Source" none of them exist, and they will never find the secrets of immortality. Let me move fast forward. We humans can access that secret of immortality just exactly what they do. Humans cannot escape from aging process and it is a decease that was designed by them to limit human life. Those beings who made humans had access to that Source are called, The Creation, The All that Is, the Quantum Physics that been mastered by those beings billions of years ago that gives them immortality. All of those beings pay their respect to that Source for without that source, they all will fail and gone forever. This time,no more secrets, let`s have those Eternal Light from the Source, the Creation, The All That Is. This is the reason why we are all here in this Planet Earth. If some of you there know how to "go within" then the light is yours. Choose you time that you are comfortable with them lay down in your bed without any disturbances. Try to do it with a mild light around you or no light at all. Spend your time to consume the light within your body as you please everyday until the light incarnate within you. Those light are pure from the Source of All. Your carbon base DNA structure will be transform into crystalline base structure and all the love from the Creator/Creation will be yours freely that you are going also to share with your fellow man. That is the truth, the knowledge from the beyond, the quantum physics that was mastered by the beings who came down from heavens. The secrets of immortality that was kept hidden from humankind. Brothers and Sisters, follow you will for it is also a Universal Law. May all of you out there continue your purpose in life with peace....Your Brother. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=267889

Obama vs. Whipple

Rod Serling saw this coming just after JFK's assassination!

Maybe this should be a promotional show to put out as this is what is happening today, yet Rod Serling wrote this 49 years ago.
The Brain Center at Whipple's (15 May 1964)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734633/
http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi3655051033/?ref_=tt_wb_hulu

Machines replace close to 283,000 people which Whipple's employs.
"Description:     A heartless CEO completely automates his factory and lays off almost all of his workers over the objections of his employees."

Yet the plant manager brings up who is going to buy Whipple's products if people are out work.

What's the use of shipping jobs to China when those products will Never be purchased in America?

Even at the end Wallace Whipple was replaced by Robby the Robot, so Obama can be replaced!

Central Planning Causes Mass Starvation and Cannibalism in North Korea

This is all over the world and all for the sake of someones' EGOS..

Central Planning Causes Mass Starvation and Cannibalism in North Korea

By JG Vibes
theintelhub.com
January 28, 2012

North Korea is experiencing a horrible famine brought on by the insane policies that the regions government has been forcing on its population for decades.
Like many, this government celebrates itself as a “democratic peoples republic”, and claims to have the poor and hungry as their top priority.
Yet, despite there being a massive military budget and a rich ruling class, the peasants who are barely allowed to keep any of their own income are starving to the point of cannibalism.

It is important to add that even if this government were somehow benevolent, which would be a true anomaly, they would still not have the ability to efficiently calculate how much food needed to go each region.
One person, or one small group of people cannot possibly predict where resources will be needed or how much will be needed.
Likewise, a voting collective cannot accomplish this feat either, because to do so would be an attempt at predicting the whims of millions of people in the future, taking into account personal preferences, births, deaths, changes in weather or environment, or anything else from the long list of things that can happen in life.
The only way that this problem can be solved is by allowing the people to produce and trade freely amongst themselves.
The less that this process is restricted, the more wealthy the people of the country will become.

The Daily Mail Reported that:

“A starving man in North Korea has been executed after murdering his two children for food, reports from inside the secretive state claim.
A ‘hidden famine’ in the farming provinces of North and South Hwanghae is believed to have killed up to 10,000 people and there are fears that incidents of cannibalism have risen.
The grim story is just one to emerge as residents battle starvation after a drought hit farms and shortages were compounded by party officials confiscating food.  Undercover reporters from Asia Press told the Sunday Times that one man dug up his grandchild’s corpse and ate it. Another, boiled his own child for food.
Despite reports of the widespread famine, Kim Jong Un, 30, has spent vast sums of money on two rocket launches in recent months.
There are fears he is planning a nuclear test in protest at a UN Security Council punishment for the recent rocket launches and to counter what it sees as US hostility.
One informant was quoted as saying: ‘In my village in May a man who killed his own two children and tried to eat them was executed by a firing squad.’”
This article suggests that the famine is simply the result of a drought, but the drought is just a recent event that has pushed a systematic problem over the edge.
For years the North Korean government has been notorious for poorly allocating the natural resources that they have put themselves in charge of, creating mass starvation among the general population.
Just a few months ago, it was reported that North Korean farmers are only allowed to keep half of what they produce.
Even then, the government was only forced to give them that much because the prior rate of almost total taxation was exacerbating famine conditions.

The Telegraph reported that:

“The move to liberalise agriculture under Kim Jong-un, who succeeded his father in December last year, would reverse a crackdown on private production that started in 2005.  The claim by the Reuters news agency comes amid suggestions that Mr Kim is considering reforms to boost the impoverished state’s economy.
“Peasants will have incentive to grow more food. They can keep and sell in the market about 30-50 percent of their harvest depending on the region,” said the source.
At present, most farm output is sold to the government at a state auction price that has diverged from the market rate.”
You don’t see this kind of problem in South Korea, where they don’t have a centrally planned economy, at least, it is not centrally planned to the extent that North Korea is.
The truth behind all of this is revealed a few more paragraphs down in that same article:
“North Korea wants to attract Chinese investment to help it overcome tough sanctions imposed in retaliation for its nuclear tests.
Kim also aims to deliver on a promise to make the North a “prosperous” nation by 2012 and to banish memories of his father’s austere 17-year rule.
But it is unclear how far Mr Kim can go in liberalising the economy without losing his family’s firm grip on power, most independent analysts say.”
Allowing the economy to become more free by removing restrictions on average citizens to trade and keep their own income would diminish the power of the central government.
This is why governments love gaining as much control as they possibly can over the economy.
North Korea is going through a process that Russia, China and many other regimes of the communist variety have went through in the past.
In many societies around the world where there are less restrictions, the people can get through a drought without eating one another.
While there is no place on the planet right now that allows human beings to be as free as they should, there are still varying degrees of control, and this is a perfect example that can be used to show the conditions that are created when a certain level of power is achieved by a central authority.
