Of course this website is in bad need of a re-write. But in an interim attempt to tidy things up I have eliminated much of the redundant information that used to recur on every homepage.
For the rest of 2008 I will be focusing on the following projects:
* The "New Agenda for America" * More videos and lectures promoting the "New Agenda for America" * My Music Project "Gnostic" (coming soon) * The "Dearbornistan" Project
I encourage new visitors to: (1) Check out the "New Agenda for America", "Action Center", and "Resource Center" links to better understand the primary project for 2008 -- the "New Agenda for America and (2) go back through the homepage archives in order to get a better idea as to the focus and trajectory of the website. The "Video Archive" contains hundreds of videos relating to topics within the "New Agenda for America." These "departments" are now located at the upper right column of the homepage:
I've featured some of my acoustic music from time to time but have yet to put forth any of my other compositions. Soon I will be releasing a "Raw" version of the "Gnostic" music project that will feature about half of the compositions that will appear on the final CD. You might say it is something like the Beatles "Anthology" project in reverse (minus the talent) . . . as they released early versions of their compositions after selling their CD rights to Michael Jackson. I, on the other hand, am releasing the early version first, because the final versions simply aren't completed.
"Gnostic" is philosophically parallel to the "New Agenda for America" in many ways. There is the "Hemp Song" which strongly advocates for the legalization of Marijuana. "I Know What You Want George" is a rocker which criticizes George Bush's fascist tendencies. "Rainbow Farm" is an instrumental homage to the massacre at that occurred at "Rainbow Farm" the week before 911. If I ever get out lecturing this year I may make an attempt to perform some acoustic versions of some of the songs. At any rate I hope to have the preliminary CD, "Gnostic: Raw," available within by the end of March.
Well that ends my housekeeping notes. Hope you appreciate the reduction in the clutter.
First let's take a look at a map of Europe and the Middle-East from a perspective that the Corporate Controlled Media would rather you not consider:
The green arrow points to Kosovo which has just declared its independence from Serbia. For the moment the only thing I want you to notice is that everything to the East of Kosovo is now controlled, or on its way to being controlled, by Islamic Fundamentalists.
The next thing I want you consider is that 90% of the population of Kosovo is composed by what the Corporate Controlled Media likes to refer to as "ethnic Albanians." In truth they are Muslims and I'm quite sure that this obfuscation is being perpetrated on purpose. What they don't want us to "get" is the fact that Bush, Clinton, Obama, the UN and the US Congress are supporting the creation of a Muslim theocracy right on the doorstep of Western Europe. Why would anyone support such an action in the wake of 911?
My Unintended Awakening
The following story outlines how I became increasingly suspect about what was going on in Kosovo.
Around December 2007 I began occasionally going to a local restaurant for my daily dose of coffee, nicotine and political discourse with a number of like-minded "counter creatures." The owner looked European and had volunteered that he was an immigrant from Albania. I often wondered about the thuggish foreigners that would occasionally talk with him, but never really gave it much thought.
Then one day he was sitting next to me at the counter and ordered the Romanian waitress not to allow me a refill on my coffee: something that had never occurred before. I told him that would amount to discrimination and that I would call ICE if he persisted. He backed down, however, I knew something was pissing him off . . . and it wasn't the coffee refill. I later ran into one of the "coffee creatures" at a local Target store and asked him if he had run into similar problems. He had not and was surprised at the reaction of the owner.
A few weeks later someone had sent me a video of a Christian Church being burned down in Kosovo by "ethnic Albanians." Of course the "ethnic Albanians were, in fact Muslims. Please check out the video for yourself:
That is when I understood why the restaurant owner, from Kosovo, was giving me such a hard time. You see, all of these Muslims that were burning down the Christian Church all looked to be Western Europeans. And most likely, the owner was a Muslim Albanian. He is probably Muslim and was probably offended by one of my favorite topics: the Islamoification of SE Michigan (especially Dearborn and Dearborn Heights) by Muslims. Of course I have nothing against Muslims that are only interested in practicing their own religion. But I have always felt that those Muslims that support a global caliphate should be repatriated back to their countries of origin, since such a belief runs counter to the oath of citizenship that all immigrants must pledge. I'm quite sure that is what actually pissed him off.
Next I read the text accompanying the YouTube video. In it a former UN commander revealed what was really going on in Kosovo:
"The objective of the Albanians is to purge all non-Albanians, including the international community's representatives, from Kosovo and ultimately link up with mother Albania thereby achieving the goal of "Greater Albania." The campaign started with their attacks on Serbian security forces in the early 1990s and they were successful in turning Milosevic's heavy-handed response into worldwide sympathy for their cause. There was no genocide as claimed by the West -- the 100,000 allegedly buried in mass graves turned out to be around 2,000, of all ethnic origins, including those killed in combat during the war itself.
The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo. We have never blamed them for being the perpetrators of the violence in the early '90s and we continue to portray them as the designated victim today in spite of evidence to the contrary. When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world. Funny how we just keep digging the hole deeper!"
- Maj-Gen. Lewis Mackenzie, now retired, commanded UN troops during the Bosnian civil war of 1992.
I was astounded. It was at this moment that I began to question Clinton's 1989 bombing of Serbia and the supposed ethnic cleansing by Milosevic, who later died in prison before his trial was completed.
Next I started to consider what this meant for South Eastern Michigan which already has the largest Mid Eastern (ME) population in the United States. The other day I had read about a half dozen black Muslim mosques operating in the area: mostly run by Nigerian immigrants. And now I'm left considering how many additional "invisible" Albanian Muslims might be living amongst us. Could we already be a minority within an invisible Muslim majority in SE Michigan?
If nothing else it seems to strengthen the rational for the 2nd plank of the "New Agenda for America:"
(2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States
For more information on the New Agenda for America goto the following link:
Up until my "awakening" I never had a clue as to what was really going on in Kosovo. But it is now clear how this had occurred to regular reader of world news: the media purposely lied to us.
If you look at the articles on Kosovo, prior to the February independence you will never see the mention of the term "Muslim" or "Muslim Fundamentalist." No, instead you will always see them referred to as "ethnic Albanians." Here is an example:
"Although Kosovo remains a province of Serbia, it has been under U.N. and NATO administration since a 78-day NATO-led air war halted a Serb crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists in 1999." Kosovo Head Assures Rice on Independence http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Jul23/0,4670,USKosovo,00.html
Watching the Christian Church burn, at the hand of European Muslims, made me want to look into this further. So first I "googled" for more videos on Kosovo. Here are a few that I viewed:
UN Complicity In Islamic Jihad Against Serbs The video you are watching shows footage of Arab Muslim Mujahideen (Odred El Mudzahidin) being brought into Bosnia on UN transports to carry out part of the Islamic war against the non-believers, in this case the Serbs.
Formed under the orders of the Bosnian Presdient Alija Izetbegović, the Mudzahidin, also know as the '7th Muslim brigade' were a unit made up entirely of Muslim Arabs shipped over from the Islamic world to engage in the wider Jihad and to help establish Muslim states within Europe.
Kosovo - Emerging as a Bastion for Radical Islam
Ripple effect warning of Kosovo independence. February 2008
Next I started doing some reading and was absolutely perplexed by what I discovered:
* The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is being financed by Saudi Arabia and aided by the US and Nato. Yet they are largely populated by Muslim extremists who are importing heroin from Afghanistan, for distribution throughout Europe. The KLA is also arming Muslim extremists to the teeth and distributing plastic explosives. And they also want to turn Europe into a Muslim caliphate.
* Over 200 Christian Churches have been destroyed by Muslim "ethnic Albanians" in Kosovo over the last 6 years. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia has financed the building of over 200 Mosques in Kosovo.
* Over 250,000 Christians have left Kosovo, over the last 10 years, due to Muslim violence on the part of "ethnic Albanians."
* The reports on the atrocities of Milosevic now appear to be largely overstated and ignore the much greater Muslim-led violence that has occurred since the early 1990's.
* Many Muslims see Kosovo "liberation" as the next phase in bringing Islam to Western Europe.
In view of this one must wonder why Hillary Clinton, Obama, McCain, Bush, the European Union . . . and many others, applauded the independence of Kosovo. Here is a recent article which quotes Hillary Clinton on the topic of Kosovo's independence:
A few days before the attack on the US embassy in Belgrade, Clinton released a Molotov cocktail statement praising the declaration of independence. In it, she referred to Kosovo by the Albanian "Kosova" and said independence "will allow the people of Kosova to finally live in their own democratic state. It will allow Kosova and Serbia to finally put a difficult chapter in their history behind them and to move forward." She added, "I want to underscore the need to avoid any violence or provocations in the days and weeks ahead." As seasoned observers of Serbian politics know, there were few things the US could have done to add fuel to the rage in Serbia over the declaration of independence - "provocations" if you will - than to have a political leader named Clinton issue a statement praising independence and using the Albanian name for Kosovo.
My own theory is shared by Professor Michel Chossudovsky, of Global Research.
"Portrayed in stylized fashion by the Western media, Osama bin Laden, supported by his various henchmen, constitutes America’s post-Cold war bogeyman, who "threatens Western democracy". The alleged threat of "Islamic terrorists", permeates the entire US national security doctrine. Its purpose is to justify wars of aggression in the Middle East, while establishing within America, the contours of the Homeland Security State."
This article (above) should be mandatory reading for every American citizen. Not only does it shed a light on what is going on in Kosovo. It also illustrates, in glaring detail, how the administrations of Carter through Bush (2) have actually funded Bin Laden, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and many other Islamist Fundamentalist groups over the last 30 years. We have actually built the very monster that we must now defeat. Is it possible that they thought they were building "Milton the Toy Monster" and are now finding themselves facing a Muslim Frankenstein? Did they just merely miscalculate? Or is this going to be the excuse to annihilate the Middle East through Nuclear War in order to secure the remaining repositories of the worlds oil?
For the moment, we can only guess. But it raises so many questions:
* Why did Bush allow the Bin Laden family to fly out of the United States after 911 without any questioning? And consider that no other planes were allowed to fly during the time that they were escorted out of this country. * Why has Bush never successfully apprehended the alleged mastermind of "911" -- Osama bin Laden? * Why does Bush have no problems with China and Saudi Arabia buying up our hard assets through Sovereign Wealth funds? * Did the Bush Administration allow "911" to happen in order to create an excuse for going into Iraq? * Why is Bush so "cozy" with Saudi Arabia when it is so clear that they are exporting Islamic extremism throughout the planet: including US mosques?
In any case, the support for Kosovo's Muslim Independence -- by so many of our countries elite -- only adds to the great mystery. Hopefully this short article will compel Americans to begin questioning the rational for this idiotic decision. In the meantime I encourage you to read through some of these additional articles on Kosovo:
I just read an article that says between 270,000 and 400,000 unauthorized Indian tech workers in the United States. In most cases they have simply overstayed their Visas and no one -- especially our businesses and our government -- seem to give a damn. Now this might not be so maddening in a buoyant economy, however, we happen to be headed towards a depression. And on top of it, we are running out of water and other resources to boot. So how is it that our businesses and our government continue to push for more immigration?
Here is a short excerpt from the article:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimates that there are 270,000 unauthorized Indian natives in the United States - a 125 percent jump since 2000, the largest percentage increase of any nation with more than 100,000 illegal immigrants in the United States.
The number of undocumented Indians is dwarfed by the estimated 6.6 million illegal residents from Mexico, according to the estimates from homeland security's Office of Immigration Statistics. Yet, considering the high level of education of many Indians, immigration experts say the federal report hints at a new phenomenon: a high-skilled undocumented workforce to go along with the nation's sizable numbers of low-skilled illegal workers.
If trends continue, within three years India would trail only Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala as a source of illegal immigration. Another national immigration expert, Jeffrey S. Passel of the Pew Hispanic Center, estimates.
I guess it would be stupid to ask "why" the U.S. Department of Homeland Security knows the numbers but does nothing about it. Perhaps we should start issuing a bounty for each one apprehended? Or I suppose we could simply start shooting them on sight? Of course I'm kidding, but I'm sure there are many Americans that are just about ready to do just that. Just survey a group of American workers that were forced to train their Indian replacements before they were fired. Then simply ask them what they would like to do to the next Indian programmer they see. I have a feeling your jaw will drop when they're done telling you what they'd like to do to these foriegners.
Unfortunately every likely 2008 Presidential candidate is sure to open the floodgates to more Indian programmers as soon as they get into the Whitehouse. This is covered in the last edition under the title ""Write-In" Candidate Bruce Cain discusses "Tech Issues." As you can see from the chart (below) even Ron Paul would increase the number of H1-B's and other visas for foreign workers. And despite promising to stop any further immigration into the United States, not a single tech or immigration group has bothered to support my presidency or the "New Agenda for America."
Now, I'm as convinced, as anyone, that I have no real chance at the presidency. But if these groups would just go along with the joke, we might at least force the Presidential candidates to address the issue of legal/illegal immigration. And we still have 8 months to get this thing going "viral" over the internet. And, as far as I know, there is no other candidate that would put a stop to the H1-B visa program in this country. What are people waiting for? All you have to do is paste a *.jpg file on your website and attach the following link to it:
This should be a no-brainer for the many tech workers who have either lost their jobs, to Indian workers, or may loose their jobs in the very near future.
One of the "funny" things about the replacement of American tech workers with Indians is that it is only well after the damage is inflicted, that we actually learn what our government and businesses are up to. Let me give you a few examples:
* It was only in 2007 that we learned that law firms were holding seminars to teach US businesses how they could NOT hire American workers. * It was only in 2007 that it became crystal clear that the main reason American businesses were hiring Indian programmers was because they were paying them 25 to 33 percent less than their American counterparts.
So let me share some even "funnier" information on how you are getting fleeced by your government and American businesses:
Even if the salaries paid were identical, there is a tax and healthcare savings. Many countries have reciprocal agreements with the U.S. so that, as long as a worker pays taxes in his or her country of residence, United States taxes are waived. Health care is not an issue because of transfer coverage from home countries. The omission of this growing segment of the workforce from the Social Security System cannot help but contribute to any future insolvency. Though these workers will not collect, they will not contribute to the current retirees either, thus weakening the system. The L-1 transfer Visa is seeing even more flagrant abuses. Engineers and IT professionals are hired in their home country at their home rate, and then brought here as the local office undercuts bidders who are using American labor. These L-1 consultants are paid even less than the H1-B workers receiving 33% under market are. The Dilemma of the H1-B[page 17] http://www.chicagolandeweek.org/IEJ-2008.pdf
Not only do US employers get away with paying them 33% less and treating them like indentured servants. On top of that they don't have to pay the 6.5% half of their Social Security. On top of that they don't have to pay for a health care policy that could cost as much as $10,000/year these days. Next thing we're going to hear is that they are saving the CEO's more money by acting as a surrogate for toilet paper. "Yes, you can lick my butt hole now. Thanks!"
The politicians and business leaders that have promulgated these policy needs to be hung publicly as traitors. Don't you think it is time we said "enough futhermucker?"
But I'm not done yet. Former Federal Reserve Chief, Allen Greenspan, also endorses opening up the floodgates to foreign tech workers:
Alan Greenspan wants to open the immigration flood gates in order to allow more H-1Bs to work in the U.S. He feels this will help companies avoid recession by increasing "income equality", which is of course just a Greenspan code word for "cutting salaries".
"Significantly opening up immigration to skilled workers solves two problems," he said. The companies could hire the educated workers they need. And those workers would compete with high-income people, driving more income equality, he said.
The following article was published in the Dallas News, but it's appearing in newspapers across the USA.
Now what is becoming crystal clear here is that this destruction of American jobs -- both skilled and unskilled -- has been systematically orchestrated at the highest levels of American government and American business. The quotes from Greenspan are a smoking gun to what is happening above the base of the "invisible pyramid." In the archives I explain the "invisible pyramid" as follows:
There is an invisible pyramid of power that exist within this society and throughout the world. The media effectively prevents us from seeing about the lowermost level through techniques of distraction and obfuscation. The only saving grace has been a free and unregulated internet.
The Internet -- the "New Library of Alexandria -- has allowed a few of us to understand what is going on many levels above the base. But even the smartest of us can catch but a glimpse of what takes place at the apex -- where the power is most centralized. To see this symbolized all you have to do is look at a common dollar bill -- a source of value that has fallen nearly 30% in value over just the last 7 years.
Though many would say what is going on is a conspiracy I would tend to differ. Conspiracies are normally completely hidden, while much about the "Invisible Pyramid" can actually be learned through various and rare articles and other source material. In any case I have always preferred the term "Social Control Theory" to "Conspiracy Theory" for this very reason.
Greenspan has basically let the cat out of the bag. "We're screwing American workers by displacing them with younger foreign workers. After all, they're just so many disposable widgets anyway!" Well, there's another person to invite to the gun range.
And while we're looking beyond the base of the "invisible pyramid" let's consider the role Universities are playing in the destroying the jobs of American workers. First we should reiterate that the cost, any student pays to go to a university, is just a fraction of the actual cost: the taxpayer actually shoulders most of the burden. This was explained in Vince Wade's series. See my article "Time to Stick it to China, Before They Stick it to US" for more detail. Next they indirectly screw American workers by investing their endowments in hedge funds which are maximized by -- you guessed it -- avoiding the employment of American workers.
Fellow programmer, Valerie Chau, appears to have found another way universities are screwing American workers when she investigated the question: "Why are our universities are busy opening up campus in Dubai, India, China while Americans are getting the shaft?"
The World Trade Organization has been pushing trade-services iberalization for several years, of which higher-educational services are a highly prized component, with an estimated global market of between $40 billion and $50 billion (not much less than the market for financial services) http://insidehighered.com/news/2006/12/07/for_profit http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2008/02/15/ross http://insidehighered.com/news/2006/12/07/for_profit
So, when do we finally decide that we have had enough? When do we finally get serious? When do we demand that each and every one of these Indian programmers is forced to train their American counterpart and then get the hell out of our country?
Well, of course you could support my candidacy for President in 2008. Or you could begin to really support the "New Agenda for America." But if those options seem to daunting you could at least send a message to you Congressional representatives.
Dear Congressman:
Either put a stop to both Legal Immigration and Illegal Immigration immediately or I'm going to find someone else to vote for next election.

"The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist." - Winston Churchill, Nov. 21, 1943
Since 9/11, and seemingly without the notice of most Americans, the federal government has assumed the authority to institute martial law, arrest a wide swath of dissidents (citizen and noncitizen alike), and detain people without legal or constitutional recourse in the event of "an emergency influx of immigrants in the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs."
Beginning in 1999, the government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States. The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees.
According to diplomat and author Peter Dale Scott, the KBR contract is part of a Homeland Security plan titled ENDGAME, which sets as its goal the removal of "all removable aliens" and "potential terrorists."
Fraud-busters such as Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, have complained about these contracts, saying that more taxpayer dollars should not go to taxpayer-gouging Halliburton. But the real question is: What kind of "new programs" require the construction and refurbishment of detention facilities in nearly every state of the union with the capacity to house perhaps millions of people?
Sect. 1042 of the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies," gives the executive the power to invoke martial law. For the first time in more than a century, the president is now authorized to use the military in response to "a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, a terrorist attack or any other condition in which the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order."
The Military Commissions Act of 2006, rammed through Congress just before the 2006 midterm elections, allows for the indefinite imprisonment of anyone who donates money to a charity that turns up on a list of "terrorist" organizations, or who speaks out against the government's policies. The law calls for secret trials for citizens and noncitizens alike.
Also in 2007, the White House quietly issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD-51), to ensure "continuity of government" in the event of what the document vaguely calls a "catastrophic emergency." Should the president determine that such an emergency has occurred, he and he alone is empowered to do whatever he deems necessary to ensure "continuity of government." This could include everything from canceling elections to suspending the Constitution to launching a nuclear attack. Congress has yet to hold a single hearing on NSPD-51.
U.S. Rep. Jane Harman, D-Venice (Los Angeles County) has come up with a new way to expand the domestic "war on terror." Her Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 (HR1955), which passed the House by the lopsided vote of 404-6, would set up a commission to "examine and report upon the facts and causes" of so-called violent radicalism and extremist ideology, then make legislative recommendations on combatting it.
According to commentary in the Baltimore Sun, Rep. Harman and her colleagues from both sides of the aisle believe the country faces a native brand of terrorism, and needs a commission with sweeping investigative power to combat it.
A clue as to where Harman's commission might be aiming is the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, a law that labels those who "engage in sit-ins, civil disobedience, trespass, or any other crime in the name of animal rights" as terrorists. Other groups in the crosshairs could be anti-abortion protesters, anti-tax agitators, immigration activists, environmentalists, peace demonstrators, Second Amendment rights supporters ... the list goes on and on. According to author Naomi Wolf, the National Counterterrorism Center holds the names of roughly 775,000 "terror suspects" with the number increasing by 20,000 per month.
What could the government be contemplating that leads it to make contingency plans to detain without recourse millions of its own citizens?
The Constitution does not allow the executive to have unchecked power under any circumstances. The people must not allow the president to use the war on terrorism to rule by fear instead of by law.

How's immigration working out for you fellow Americans? Got a goober in your back pocket? Like what you see in Mexi-fornia? How about Mexi-zona? What can you say about Mexi-Texas? How about that 1965 Immigration Reform Act that added 100 million people in four decades? How about the next 100 million immigrants added by 2040?
Ya' just gotta' love the results don't ya'? What would Andy of Mayberry say?
"Hey, Andy," Goober said, while twirling his hat.
"Ya' Goob," Andy Taylor muttered.
"What do you git when you has over 100 anglers down on the lake for the Fishin' Derby that can only handle 20 fishermen Andy?" Goober said.
"Jist a bit over-crowded," Andy said, scowling. "Reckon only a few will catch a fish and have a harder time fightin' all the others bumping into them."
"Don't make no sense does it?" Goober said.
"No sense atall," Andy said.
Senator John McCain shot to the top for the Republicans on Super Tuesday. What could possibly be running through the minds of voters who voted for him?
McCain along with Teddy Kennedy signed the amnesty package for 4.3 million illegal aliens in 1986. They promised to secure the borders 22 years ago. Today, in the last 22 years, they watched 20 million more illegals breach our borders. In June of last year, both senators voted to double legal immigration. Both voted for another amnesty. Both voted for the Dream Act. Both worked to dissolve America's borders into the North American Union. Both men voted to get 4,000 of our kids killed in Iraq-and more to die.
Both men show their ages at 72 and 75 to be out of touch, running out of life and both remaining out of reach with reality.
Yet, Arizona republicans in droves voted to thrust a broken down old war horse into the presidency! With his open borders record and complete chaos in Arizona, why in the name of common sense, would Arizona voters vote for McCain? He failed them, he failed our Constitution and he failed in leadership.
This election will prove the most devastating in our nation's history if pro-open borders candidates Hillary and/or Obama reach the White House or an old man named John McCain takes the presidency. It's astounding to me that an old man won't or can't let go the reigns of power. I remember Reagan fell asleep in cabinet meetings. He proved a figure-head only in his last four years. With McCain or Hillary/Obama, either way, Americans from every walk of life face a mind-boggling immigration human armada out of the third world that will deluge our ability to sustain this civilization.
My friend George Sura in Fort Collins said it best, "Immigration is the most formidable weapon of mass destruction threatening America today. Ironically, invaders have put our country at risk without firing a shot. The White House, the heavies in Congress and the smaller fish in state legislatures do not seem to have the collective intellectual depth or common sense to see what is upon us and how rampant immigration will degrade the lives and opportunities of our progeny. Every day brings America closer to irreversible chaos. Behind this issue are blind forces to reckon with. No politician, political party, corporation, religious fervor, investment, pop morality or individual aspiration should come before country. Ever! The brokers who recklessly advocate or condone pervasive, unending and limitless immigration are steersman with Titanic-like wheelhouse credentials. They should be kicked out of the wheelhouse of this nation."
I'm beside myself fellow Americans. Are we that dumb? Are we that duped by the media to vote McCain into the presidency? Aren't his past actions enough information to vote for anyone else but McCain?
Do we realize that McCain/Hillary/Obama maintain the same agenda: dissolve America's borders, dismantle our sovereignty, flood this country with immigrants, and ultimately, thrust us into a North American Union?!
Do we realize that McCain hasn't done anything noteworthy or visionary in 25 years in the Senate? He watched us fall, in fact, voted us into financial purgatory. He voted for insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring to take 3.1 million manufacturing jobs out of the USA. He said and did nothing as he watched his state of Arizona suffer 500,000 illegal aliens. He watched 20 million illegals breach our borders without a word of protest. He voted for and will continue our war in Iraq. He did nothing to work toward energy conservation in 25 years.
John McCain proves to be a spectator on the national stage. How do we think that would change if he reached the White House? It wouldn't.
If Republicans choose John McCain to represent them on November 4th, it shows they choose old, out of touch, the past, inactivity and lethargy over vitality, exuberance, liveliness and creative process. The results of that kind of leader will prove a continuation of path paved by George W. Bush.
It will show that voters remain myopic, inflexible, constricted, short term thinkers and inexorably brain dead.

Related Website: TaxDay08 Publish Date: 2008-02-27 The Full Story: It’s being called “The Great American Strike” and on April the 15th 2008 more American workers will be on strike than on any other day in our nation’s history. They won’t be striking for higher pay or better working conditions or anything you normally associate with a strike. They will be striking to abolish the Federal Reserve and its partner in crime, the IRS.
The days of a totally ignorant public are gone and millions of Americans are aware of the corruption that is the Federal Reserve banking system. The Fed counterfeits money out of thin air and then “loans” it at face value to the US government and charges interests on top of that. It’s the single greatest criminal enterprise ever invented, but some say its days are numbered.
Thomas Jefferson railed against it, as did Andrew Jackson, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Barry Goldwater, John F. Kennedy and lately presidential candidate Ron Paul. There are thousands of videos on YouTube and Google and MySpace and people are downright angry when they find out they have been duped. Millions of Americans have stopped filing tax returns all together and millions have been watching public tax cases like Ed Brown, Wesley Snipes and others going back to Willie Nelson and James Brown and Will Smith. The end of the Fed is near, and it should be, it is a criminal act against the free people of the United States of America.
Of the many quotes that I’ve read while researching “the Great American Strike”, one stands out. … “You and I weren’t born in a free country; let’s make sure our children are”. Everyone born since 1913 has been under a system of incremental slavery, which requires you to pay a portion of your labor to someone who hasn’t done anything. And you thought slavery had been outlawed.
Who are these shadowy characters behind this crime and where does your money go? Those questions can’t be answered in this short space, but they use the IRS as a way to instill fear and enforce (at gunpoint if necessary) the delivery of their ill gotten gains. Some point to the Federal Reserve as the root cause of most of the political corruption in the US, as well as political scandals and assassinations, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Kennedy was shot in Dallas not long after he had signed Executive Orders EO-11 and EO-110, which took the privilege of printing money away from the Federal Reserve. Can the Federal Reserve be connected to murder as well as theft?
On April 15th, 2008 the people who know the truth will be on strike, they will be protesting at the Fed in New York and Boston and San Francisco, they will be protesting at State Capitols and at local post offices, handing out information and waving signs to make sure the rest of you are made aware, that as long as the Fed exists….we aren’t really free.
Why are Republicans in Congress trying to help Barack Obama (D-IL)? Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week (without any hearings), which means there was no roll-call vote so we can hold any Member accountable. It passed the House by voice vote last year. The Obama bill passed out of Committee with the cooperation of the ranking Republican, Senator Richard Lugar (IN). A Rhodes scholar like Bill Clinton, Lugar never saw a UN enhancement he didn't like.
Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill, which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433). It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.
Obama's bill would require the President "to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day."
We should be on guard any time politicians use the word "comprehensive," an umbrella word that always shades a lot of mischief. The notion that U.S. taxpayers should or could cut in half the number of people worldwide who live in poverty by 2015 is ridiculous.
The scariest phrase in Obama's bill is Millennium Development Goal. That refers to the Declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly and Summit in 2000 (blessed by President Bill Clinton) which called for the "eradication of poverty" by "redistribution [of] wealth and land," cancellation of "the debts of developing countries," and "a fair distribution of the earth's resources" (from the United States to the rest of the world, of course).
The Millennium project is monitored by Jeffrey D. Sachs, a Columbia University economist. In 2005 he presented then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan with a 3,000-page report based on the research of 265 so-called poverty specialists.
Sachs' document criticized the United States for giving only $16.3 billion a year in global anti-poverty aid. He argued that we should spend an additional $30 billion a year in order to reach the 0.7 percent target that the UN set for us in 2000.
Sachs says that the only way to force the United States to commit that much money is by a global tax, such as a tax on fossil fuels. Empowering the United Nations to impose a direct international tax on Americans has been a UN goal ever since the 1995 Copenhagen Summit embraced the so-called Tobin Tax.
By adopting the Millennium Goals in 2000, the UN escalated its demands for the UN to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a "currency transfer tax," a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources," a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal," "fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."
It doesn't bother UN sycophants that most of our foreign handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the UN, and that only 30 percent of our foreign-aid money ever reaches the poor. UN bureaucrats accuse the United States of being "stingy" in our handouts to underdeveloped countries.
There is much more to the Millennium Goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The Goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under UN global governance.
These Goals include a "standing Peace Force" (i.e., a UN standing army), a "UN Arms register" of all small arms and light weapons, "peace education" covering "all levels from pre-school through university," and "political control of the global economy." The Goals call for implementing all the UN treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up UN monitoring committees to invade our sovereignty.
To achieve this level of control over U.S. domestic law, the plan calls for "strengthening the United Nations for the 21st Century" by "eliminating" the veto and permanent membership in the Security Council. The goal is to reduce U.S. influence to 1 out of 192 nations, so we would have merely the same vote as Cuba.
Obama's Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium Goals of global governance and international taxes on Americans. Tell your Senators to kill this un-American bill.

Obama's Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote, by Cliff Kincaid, February 12, 2008
Washington, District of Columbia - At long last, the Democrats are talking about the economy and the need for serious relief and reforms. The reason is simple. The people are feeling the squeeze.
Reports the Baltimore Sun:
"Since January alone, the public's perception about the state of the economy has plummeted - with just 17 percent calling the nation's economy excellent or good - down from 26 percent last month. The percentage rating the economy poor has grown from 28 to 45 percent." Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama now have their instant ten point plans and programs. They have dipped into John Edwards' tool chest for ideas on fighting poverty and listened to policy advisors who have come up with a laundry list of proposals for stop gap measures from hikes in the minimum wage and middle class tax cuts. All of these proposals will take time to implement and probably will be forgotten by the time one of them becomes President, if they do.
Meanwhile, the economy is collapsing because of crimes and irresponsibility on Wall Street and no one is really talking about that. An inequality gap and structural crisis compounded by profiteering in high places goes on and is largely ignored.
The media is not investigating the profiteers and continues to contribute to the problem by accepting millions for dubious ads for more loans that end up getting more Americans in debt. Prosecutors are not prosecuting wrong doing. No fundamental new regulations and oversight are being proposed.
The candidates don't even seem to know the extent of damage that is being done by the subprime crisis, and its assignees. Andrew Abraham reports: "Bank of America delivered a report last night highlighting the current losses of the 'Credit Crisis'. According to the report the meltdown in the US sub-prime real estate market has led to a global loss of $7.7 trillion dollars in stock market value since October.
Quoting Bank of America chief market strategist Joseph Quinlan "The crisis, which has spread beyond US shores to banks and other sectors worldwide, is 'one of the most vicious in financial history.'" That number again $7.7 TRILLION. That phrase again: "the most vicious," that is, worse than 1929 and all the financial crises since.
Who is responsible for this and who is being made responsible? Why aren't we talking about these massive losses and the growing debt burden? Why is this issue not on the political agenda, save for the efforts of a few advocacy groups on the left and Ron Paul on the right?
It was discouraging when our government's leading critic of these practices got so discouraged that he quit last week. David Walker, the Comptroller of the Currency had warned back in 2005 (as reported in my film In Debt We Trust): "Continuing on this unsustainable path will gradually erode If not suddenly damage our economy, our standard of living and ultimately our national security." And guess what? Just two years later, our economy was "suddenly damaged." The damage is "affecting our standard of living," and very few public officials or political candidates are connecting the dots. Why not?
When will we condemn the false prophets of the free market and their misguided policies? When will we indict those who cashed in on our country's misery?
Notes scholar Lionel Tiger: "Those who have been operating the managerial levers of the financial system have failed embarrassingly and massively to comprehend the processes for which they are responsible. They have loaned money avidly and recklessly to people who couldn't pay it back. They fudged data to get loans approved and recalculated. Then they sausaged fragile figments of moneyreality into new 'products' which could be sold around the world to investors eager to enjoy the surprising returns which often accompany theft, managerial incompetence, and fraud.
When it comes to responsibility for all this, there appears to be no one here but us spring chickens. Not only that but the overseers of the bitter debacle may lose their jobs for a month but nonetheless fill their wheelbarrows with company money and 'severance' when they leave to tide them over until the next corner office becomes available." And what is to be done about this white-collar crime wave? At long last even shamed executives in the financial industry are joining those of us who long ago charged that subprime is really subcrime. Basil Williams, chief executive officer of Concordia Advisors, a hedge fund, says we need "a safety net for the innocent and a dragnet for the guilty."
Writing in the Record in Bergen County, N.J. he says that the greedy should pay to help the needy: "The costs can be recouped by going after those who profited handsomely and unfairly from the multitude of transactions that touched the industry, including:
• Mortgage brokers who originated loans to those who didn't understand the conditions, couldn't afford them and should not have qualified.
• Appraisers who overvalued homes, knowing that the higher the value they gave a property, the more business they would reap from a dishonest broker.
• Banks and brokerage firms that purchased, packaged and resold the mortgages for huge fees."
He goes on to discuss ratings agencies and more. This is a litany that the candidates and activists should sign on to.
With millions facing foreclosure, we have to expose those responsible and mount a movement for economic justice. It can be done. It should be done. Who is ready to stand up and organize a national mobilization to stop this outrage? Who is ready to fund it?
Who?

Comment: Original link (above) contains a number of incriminating videos concerning Osama Obama and his true support for NAFTA . . . and perhaps the NAU as well.
Hope, change, or is it false hope? This is must see TV, straight from CTV, a major Canadian network, who checks their sources and it’s damning. They catch Obama in a bold faced lie on NAFTA.
From CTV:
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama’s campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada’s ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value
There are two must see video reports. The first is the original story, the second is the Clinton campaign not only denying they did anything similar but encouraging CTV to investigate and out anyone even remotely affiliated with them who could be found to make such promises to not renegotiate NAFTA.
So far, it sure appears that CTV is dead on, which leads to another question, why is it that Canadian broadcast television can break this so important story while US TV goes on and on about identity politics. Maybe when they renegotiate NAFTA we can import some real journalism to boot.
Additional MSN video of outrage over Obama not speaking up to save Maytag jobs:
Update: Canadian Embassy denies such a conversation took place, but read the fine print here, for they are validating that among staff, multiple conversations took place, both campaigns. Canadian Embassy:
We’ve impressed upon them the fact that NAFTA has been good for all three countries,” Norton said. “They have made it clear that NAFTA is an issue of contention in the [U.S.], and that inevitably there would be discussion and debate surrounding NAFTA.”
“They’ve heard us out on the issue of NAFTA and expressed understanding for our position. But the candidates and their campaigns have been very careful to refrain from making specific commitments,” Norton continued, reiterating that no such conversation like the one described in the Canadian TV report ever happened
I for one have a hard time believing a major news organization is going to make up such a bombshell story out of thin air. We shall see.
