I stupidly assumed there WERE airplanes because, like everyone else, I genuinely [thought I] SAW airplanes.  Throughout the four years of my research project, that flawed assumption tainted my thought processes in every aspect of the 9-11 arena.  Even when I heard and read discussions by others who espoused the no-plane reality, I dismissed the notion out of hand as nothing more than an absurd, unfounded theory.  Big mistake.  Frame-by-frame analyses of a variety of videotape are abundant all over the Internet, and show the fakery with indelible clarity, though many that existed two years ago are now gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhYgP9aseI/AAAAAAAAKPg/CxrHwMUCO_4/s1600-h/911wtclights.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhYgP9aseI/AAAAAAAAKPg/CxrHwMUCO_4/s400/911wtclights.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330107470056174050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/11 Fake: Nose In, Nose Out! - 5 min &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWSWtnkicIo"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWSWtnkicIo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No-Planes Sickness &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Kmjh-cN8Q"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Kmjh-cN8Q&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that fake birds fly faster than the 500 mph aircraft flies.

First, the planes’ behavior when allegedly hitting the Twin Towers and the Pentagon defied not only the laws of physics, they defied common sense.  In the real world, mere birds smash large holes in airplanes, yet these airplanes sliced through solid reinforced concrete and a massive netting of steel, which formed the outer facades of the buildings, like a knife through warm butter.  Undamaged, undaunted, and un-slowed by virtually immovable resistance, they continued onward into the buildings and sliced through the even more massive box-steel girders which formed the indestructible cores of the towers.  None of this is possible, not even remotely possible. Yet we were told it happened and we are reluctant to believe our government and the “independent” press deliberately lied to us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhYrBl02_I/AAAAAAAAKPo/DkEZO8FuTc4/s1600-h/911wtchudsonriver.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 107px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhYrBl02_I/AAAAAAAAKPo/DkEZO8FuTc4/s400/911wtchudsonriver.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330107655177690098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Airplanes are much like flying beer cans - - thin, hollow and lightweight - - and would have flattened themselves against those outer walls, would have crumbled like a stepped-on saltine cracker and would have fallen in tiny pieces to the streets below.  Only the two jet engines, each consisting of 12,000 pounds of iron, steel and titanium, measuring nine feet in diameter and 23 feet in length, would have stood any chance at all of penetrating those walls which, incidentally, were designed to move and absorb energy (from high winds and even jet aircraft impact).  At the Pentagon, the [imaginary] engines did not even break windows at the locations the engines would have impacted had a Boeing 757 hit the building.  Let’s see what the government had previously PROVEN - - in this 54-second video - - would happen when a jet aircraft hits a concrete wall at 500 mph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F4 Phantom Jet Hits Concrete Wall at 500 MPH - 54 seconds &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjhxuhTmGk"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjhxuhTmGk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this what you [think you] saw on 9-11?  Granted, the concrete wall in the video above is much thicker than the walls of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were, but it didn’t contain the heavy steel netting the Twin Towers walls contained, nor the rebar reinforcement the Pentagon walls contain.  What’s important to understand in the video above is not the strength or performance of the concrete wall, but the behavior of the lightweight aircraft frame covered with thin aluminum.  While airplanes simply cannot slice through buildings made of steel and concrete, computerized images can easily do it.  The latter is what we saw on 9-11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This picture shows why they had no choice but to fake the planes.  &lt;br /&gt;Must read the first four paragraphs of this.&lt;br /&gt;THEY LIED TO US ABOUT THE TOWERS, TOO &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://911wasahoax.blogspot.com/2006/08/they-lied-to-us-about-towers-too.html"&gt;http://911wasahoax.blogspot.com/2006/08/they-lied-to-us-about-towers-too.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building the World Trade Center Towers - What they were made of - 18 min &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3135892053682639810"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3135892053682639810&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strength &amp; body integrity of commercial aircraft - strong enough to penetrate steel buildings? - You decide. - 10 sec &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dSiqP78fXU"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dSiqP78fXU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the problem of reflection.  On the bright, sunshiny day that was September 11, 2001, sunlight reflected off of everything we saw in all the “original” videos - - buildings, the Hudson River, water craft, everything - - EXCEPT the dark silhouettes of the airplane images that were ADDED to the footage we were shown.  Aluminum-covered airplanes reflect sunlight almost like mirrors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, in one piece of footage that was aired by NBC that morning, the camera shows the Twin Towers with the Hudson River in the background off to the right.  The tower on the right has smoke billowing from it when, suddenly and without warning, there appears to be a huge explosion in the other tower.  Here is what a close examination of this footage reveals:  It’s a bit odd that both towers appear in the left half of the video frame.  Any camera operator who would have been recording the fire in the first tower would have had the Twin Towers centered in the picture frame.  But not this one.  In this one, it’s pretty clear that a lot of space to the right of the buildings was filmed so as to allow for the adding of an airplane later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is seen in the footage discussed above is an unobstructed view of the Hudson River on a sunny day, with moving water craft clearly visible.  Then there is the explosion in the second tower, the one on the camera’s left.  But there is no airplane approaching across the Hudson River.  The sky is blue and visibility is almost unlimited.  When the early evening news is later broadcast, however, that very same video footage is aired again only, this time, the entire background has been eliminated and replaced with a haze (it appears to be a heavy overcast), and miraculously there is an approaching airplane image - - though it’s only a dark silhouette - - that appears to hit the left tower just as the explosion billows out the left wall of the left tower.  Same footage, same camera angle, same shape of the smoke rolling out of the right-hand tower, same everything, EXCEPT the hazed-out background and the added image of an airplane.  What is so striking is the relative positions of everything within the framed area selected for filming.  It is perfect for showing one tower already burning and the approaching aircraft headed for the other tower.  But no camera operator would have chosen that precise framing unless he expected something to be developing in the right half of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another telltale giveaway is the sound.  Over the video aired that morning - - presumably in real time - - the anchors’ voices tell all.  As the explosion occurs in the left tower on the video, an anchor’s voice says “Oh, my God, there’s another one, there’s another explosion.”  He’s watching his monitor and is seeing exactly what the viewing audience is seeing.  The other anchor chimes in and says, “Folks, we’ve just had another explosion and it’s in the other tower.”  Yes, one could have been looking elsewhere and not seen an approaching aircraft, but it just isn’t credible to surmise that both anchors missed a plane which absorbed several seconds of the videotape in its approach flight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We needn’t have an advanced education in physics - - unfortunately, the majority of American adults can’t distinguish physics from paleontology anyway - - all we need is a little common sense.  Perhaps Superman could throw a baseball into a concrete building and it would punch right through and sail out the other side unharmed.  But the rest of us know that if we were to throw a baseball against the outer wall of a concrete building, it would hit the wall and bounce back in our direction.  Such knowledge and common sense have to be set aside in order to believe the story we were told about the events of September 11, 2001.  That so many of us were so gullible is astounding, embarrassing even.  I’m certainly perplexed that I overlooked so much as I spent countless hours deliberately looking for inconsistencies and possible explanations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are the problems with regard to the myriad of alleged failures in the air defense system.  I could - - because of the plane assumption - - find no explanation for the criminally negligent blunders we were told had occurred.  My 20 years of military experiences kept subliminally telling me that the air defense systems I knew to be the best and most modern in the world had not failed on virtually every front - - as alleged - - but, instead, had worked to perfection as they always have, including the 64 times fighter jets had been scrambled in 2001 prior to September 11th.  I knew that even if a tiny part of the system should fail - - and an errant aircraft or missile should penetrate the net and reach its destination - - heads would roll.  Generals would be relieved, as would others right down the chain of command.  Somebody would be court-martialed. The media would be all over the story like stink on cow manure.  Yet none of this happened.  No one was relieved.  No one was disciplined or even reprimanded.  The American people blindly accepted the ruse without question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet I ignored the obvious for years, for which I became ashamed when the truth finally penetrated the dense fog I had allowed to surround my brain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my gut I knew the failures had not occurred, yet I subconsciously avoided venturing into that territory.  I wasted a lot of valuable time pondering theories involving the takeover of the planes by remote control, or the substituting of specially-equipped unmanned drones.  But, despite all the possibilities I considered, I was left with a long laundry list of pesky questions that just would not go away.  When I finally realized that there was no plane, that indeed there could not have been a  plane - - let alone four of them - - then 90% of the nagging inconsistencies I hadn’t been able to resolve….evaporated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was like a first experience of seeing bagworms.  You can’t see them.  They look so much like the cedar or juniper trees and shrubs they infest and soon devour.  You can look directly and closely at the leaves and you won’t see the worms.  Until one moves.  Then you can see a thousand of them because then you know what to look for….and if there’s one, you can be sure there are a thousand.  If you watch for a few minutes, you can see hundreds of them moving slightly as they feast on the greenery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The air defense system did not work that day because nothing triggered it.  It is activated by the discovery of errant or unidentified aircraft and other flying objects.  There are three systems operational 24/7 to detect such irregularities, one each controlled by NORAD, FAA, and NSA. That day, there was no stray anything in the air.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The system can also be activated by order, but such is extremely rare (computerized imagery added to videotaped footage and broadcast nationwide does not activate the air defense system).  The system works so well that a plane or missile headed for the Pentagon would have been automatically shot down by the missile batteries protecting the building, which would have AUTOMATICALLY launched missiles the minute any unauthorized flying object penetrated restricted air space without prior clearance.  That would have occurred electronically even if every member of the firing battery were sound asleep.  No plane hit the Pentagon.  No plane COULD HAVE hit the Pentagon.  It would have been shot down seconds after entering restricted airspace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned “heads rolling.”  We were later told that there were nine practice exercises in progress that morning, involving 22 mock hijackings, simulated by electronically placing fake blips on the radar screens manned by air traffic controllers and others.  We were further told that the exercises had committed all but 14 of the available fighter aircraft in the entire United States inventory, and had them deployed to places such that protection for the entire continental United States was left to those 14 aircraft.  We were led to believe it was merely bad planning that left the continental United States vulnerable.  Nothing even close to such a bungled scenario is possible.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody, of any rank or position at any level, would have - - could have - - scheduled multiple conflicting drills that would have crippled our defense.  Superiors would not have approved such an idiotic proposal, and subordinate commanders would have screamed like castrated pigs that their ability to defend the nation would be compromised.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The military’s most proficient skill is “simulating.”  They may have deployed one or two dozen aircraft in an actual exercise, and simulated deploying 150 others - - perhaps to test how things would function if the force were to be critically overtaxed.  But they would not really deploy the 150 aircraft because it would degrade their combat readiness.  Simulated aspects of operations always go off without a hitch precisely because they are imaginary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fighter aircraft that are on standby for scrambling - - across the nation and elsewhere - - are positioned near a designated runway so that no time is wasted on long taxiing that can be avoided.  The maintenance crews are with the aircraft.  The pilots are fully dressed and close by.  When the alert horn sounds, designated maintenance crewmembers fire up the engines to each aircraft as the pilots run to their planes and the tower is clearing the needed runway (if necessary).  The pilots buckle in and move to takeoff position and immediately bolt down the runway, lifting off as soon as takeoff speed is reached.  Then they throttle up to max power and head for 10,000 feet.  THEN they receive orders by radio as to where to go and what the mission is.  From alert horn to 10,000 feet is about two minutes.  That’s a standard that has been maintained dating back to the early days when SAC (Strategic Air Command) manned the DEW Line defense system (Distant Early Warning).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is serious business for all the people involved in this system at any level and in any capacity.  The survival of the nation could depend upon their proficiency and their speed.  No aspect of it is taken lightly by anyone.  Yet we have been fed phony tapes in which officials are heard to say things like “Well, I reckon someone ought to start thinking about scrambling some aircraft and get up there and investigate,” and “somebody’s going to have to make some decisions in the next ten minutes or so,” and “gosh, everybody just left the room.”  Anyone with any military experience at operational levels of command knows those tapes are fakes.  They are almost hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since there was no plane, many things no longer need explaining.  No need to ponder why not one of the alleged 19 hijackers appeared on any of the four alleged manifests.  No need to question why none of the airport surveillance cameras recorded the presence of any of the 19.  There was no hijacker, and there certainly were not 19 of them.  No need to wonder why a bunch of able-bodied American airline passengers cowered at the threat of ridiculous “box cutters.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No need to wonder what happened to 200-plus [imaginary] passengers.  No need to question why none of the cell phone companies could produce any verification of the fabricated air-to-earth cell calls between nonexistent people.  No need to raise an eyebrow when being told that a nonexistent passenger called his mother and said “Mom, this is Mark Bingham.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no need to wonder why all the “witnesses” who claimed to have seen any of the planes were either employed by the news networks or were married to network employees.  “Our producer’s wife is visiting her sister in Manhattan and is on the 28th floor of the such-and-such building, tell us Diane, what did you see?”  Dozens of on-the-street interviews were broadcast much later in the day that were absolutely authentic, there was indeed a lot of carnage to report that day.  Buildings fell and people died or were injured.  Reports of all that were real, but not a single one of those people ever claimed to have seen an airplane hit a building.  Many reports of rapid multiple explosions were edited out of the on-site interviews.  The witnesses who described airplanes crashing into buildings were all affiliated with the networks.  Without exception.  It’s a good bet that some of the so-called “call-in” witnesses were calling from within the studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One fake caller described his view of the Pentagon from his office window, where he claims to have seen Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.  Small technical problem.  No office building exists in that area that would afford the view he described.  A female caller said she was sure it was an American Airlines 757 because her boyfriend was “an airplane guy.”  The three fake callers on that particular network, at that time, were named Don, Dawn, and Shawn.  Yeah, right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went into the archives and reviewed all the footage that was broadcast that day by CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOXNews, and BBC.  Everything aired came from only two [master] feeds.  Yes, all the individual anchors were different, and each one had arranged its own callers-in, but the footage of the WTC and the Pentagon and the laughable “crash site” in Pennsylvania all came from only two feeds, most likely both in a studio “war room” somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With no plane, there is no need to explain why, prior to 9-11, there was no American Airlines Flight numbered 11 or 77, or why, prior to 9-11, United 93 had never flown on a Tuesday or why, based on reported tail numbers, records show two of the four imaginary airplanes were still in service with the airlines two years later.  No reason to explain any of that.  America - - and the world - - had taken the bait.  Now all they have to do is keep up the illusion, just as they have done for 46 years with the JFK assassination, just as they have done with the assassinations of RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and others, just like they have done with Ruby Ridge, Waco, Seattle, Oklahoma City, shoot-down of Flight 800, etc.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about all those passengers, one might ask?  Nonexistent airplanes carry nonexistent passengers, Silly.  That’s like the old junior high school scenario where a plane crashes on the border between two states and the question asked is “In which state would you bury the survivors?”  Survivors aren’t buried, they live on.  You don’t think Americans are that gullible?  Look at the crap they PURCHASE, the crap they WEAR, and the crap they EAT.  They can be made to believe anything.  ANYTHING!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, let’s say that all the 200-plus names on the manifests we were shown WERE fabricated, how would the perpetrators get the airlines to prepare and release bogus manifests?  That’s easy, folks, the federal government REGULATES the commercial airlines.  They could put any one of them out of business in a week with some innocent-sounding rules changes.  That’s the way they control everything - - the media, the schools, etc. - - by REGULATION and by threat of using them to choke out their survival.  The government makes the rules by which all of them must live and operate.  United and American Airlines released the manifests the government furnished to them.  And all the names were fabricated by the government long in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go look at the archived television broadcast footage from that day.  Notice how innocent all the news anchors were, including the biggies - - Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, etc. - - in the beginning, before they were TOLD what to report.  They knew nothing of what was actually going on at the outset.  Most of them clearly stated that the building collapses looked like controlled demolitions to them.  Yet three hours later, they were very careful not to repeat any of that but, instead, kept explaining how the extreme heat from the fires, coupled with the devastating impact of the airplanes, caused the buildings to collapse.  They all wanted to keep their jobs, and their networks are all regulated by the Federal Government.  They reported what they were TOLD to report.  Plain and simple.  Here’s when and how the groundwork was laid for the “story.”&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhY56bJOvI/AAAAAAAAKP4/LQd7tqdmS5A/s1600-h/911imagepin.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 85px; height: 120px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SfhY56bJOvI/AAAAAAAAKP4/LQd7tqdmS5A/s400/911imagepin.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330107910951877362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Who is this bozo (PLANT) who already has all the "information" of the "official" story? &lt;br /&gt;The 911SolutionThe big clue everybody missed - 10 min. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2792830342831749576"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2792830342831749576&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Smarty-Pants, that still doesn’t explain Barbara Olson’s death on Flight 77.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew that one was coming.  The facts prove Barbara Olson was not on Flight 77.  Yes, she apparently vanished, but not on Flight 77.  It was her name on that manifest, and everyone knowing who she was, that lent credence to the Flight 77 hoax.  And it was that single element that created the opportunity to fabricate a cell phone call from her that opened the door for the fake cell calls from all the imaginary aircraft.  But once you accept that there was no Flight 77, and it did not hit the Pentagon, then most all the questions about the explosions there just go away.  If we aren’t trying to fit a Boeing 757 into a single 16-foot hole, then we can start asking some REAL questions and quit dwelling upon imaginary ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mystery of the light poles goes away.  Anyone with any sense knows that if any airplane - - ANY AIRPLANE - - were to strike just one well-anchored steel pole while traveling at a high rate of speed, that airplane would be immediately slammed to the ground and crashed.  No airplane known to mankind, of any size, could continue flying at that low altitude and clip off four more poles.  It simply is not possible.  Even BIRDS cripple airplanes.  Steel poles CRASH THEM.  So, someone was assigned to knock those poles down and photograph them, or the photographs were doctored (it’s easy with PhotoShop).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone reading this personally KNOW anyone who perished on one of the four phantom flights?  Has anyone here SEEN the light poles lying on the ground?  The answer to each is “No.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to Barbara Olson.  She had written a New York Times bestseller titled “Hell to Pay,” a thoroughly researched and well-commented book exposing Hillary Clinton for the wicked, evil, vindictive, ruthless witch she truly is.  Lots of people wanted Barbara dead - - possibly even her husband - - and somebody killed her.  By adding her name to the phony Flight 77 passenger manifest, the worry about a missing persons report and homicide investigation vaporized.  Case closed before it could even be opened.  Prove it to yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “official” manifest for Flight 77 was released and published on September 12th.  Olson’s name was not on it.  A corrected copy was issued on September 13th and her name WAS on it.  The explanation, that the public swallowed hook, line and sinker, was that she had been scheduled for another [later] flight and had changed at the last minute (which supposedly explained her name not being on the first one released).  But that story won’t fly (pun intended) with people experienced in commercial flying.  Everyone knows that flight manifests are finalized before any airplane is permitted to be pulled away from the gate.  People make flights at the last minute all the time, but their names are on the manifest before the plane moves an inch.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, somebody big was involved in her death, and that somebody big was big enough to also be involved in the 9-11 hoax.  So, adding her name to the Flight 77 manifest achieved several things.  It hid her disappearance, it covered a murder, and it lent credibility to the Flight 77 story.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, it left U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson without a wife (he may have wanted to be rid of) and with a handful of life insurance proceeds.  Too, Barbara had been a federal prosecutor.  Investigations were her stock in trade and she was apparently very good at it, judging from her book.  Suppose her research in that endeavor had uncovered some other evidence that could bring down some pretty big names, and suppose it became known that she intended to pursue bringing them down.  In that event, silencing her became “necessary.“  THEN, eliminating her was a simple matter of timing - - waiting for the already planned 9-11 scenario to unfold - - and putting her on a flight manifest that was to be “sold” to the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t forget, these sorts of people do stuff like this routinely.  They killed Vince Foster, planted his body in Fort Marcy Park, controlled the crime scene and had the inept and inexperienced federal park police to handle the sham investigation, ruling it a suicide despite overwhelming evidence of murder.  In some circles, crime indeed DOES pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once an observer acknowledges (1) that the 9-11 operations were pulled off by a well-organized group of ruthless figures within the United States Government and (2) that there was no airplane involved, then 75% of the mysteries and unanswered questions dissolve right before our eyes.  Many things suddenly make perfectly good common sense.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only possible argument against the facts presented in my now-five-part analysis, is the lame “But our government would never do such a thing to its own people.”  Just stop a moment and realize how truly laughable that argument is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kay Corleone:  Michael, do you realize how naive you sound? Senators don’t have people killed.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Corleone:  “Who’s being naïve now, Kay?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do they keep all these people quiet, you ask?  Any military person or government employee with a security clearance - - at any level - - is forbidden by law from divulging or discussing any classified bit of information with anyone other than another person with a suitable clearance who has an immediate “need to know” in order to do his/her job.  Divulging such information under any other circumstance carries penalties of up to 30 years in prison.  Keeping those people quiet is not a problem at all.  Most of the rest can be kept quiet with threats against one’s personal safety, one’s family, one’s financial security, one‘s business, etc.  Hard cases are simply erased from the face of the earth, witness Barbara Olson., Vince Foster, Admiral Boorda, and the recent “suicide” of the Freddie Mac CFO.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you understanding how arrogant people have to be to drop three monster buildings with controlled demolitions and persuade an ignorant but trusting populace that 19 Muslim suicide fanatics hijacked four aircraft and flew three of them into buildings?  People who will do that are simply telling us that they control everything they need to control and there is nothing we can do about it.  They will do whatever they want to do and they don’t care whether we know or not.  If you could ask one of them why, the answer would be “Because we CAN.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most ignorant thing a person can say (or think) is “It can’t happen here.”  It happened in Germany, it happened in Russia, it happened in China, and it happened in many parts of the world.  In every case, the people did not believe it could happen to them.  It’s already happening here.  These ruthless, despotic, godless creatures have Obama doing exactly what they want him to do.  He’s moving at an accelerated pace and they are coming for our guns, they will vanquish us with vaccinations and poisons, and they will starve us the way Stalin starved 7 million Ukranians.  The police state is already here and they have issued their warnings to us.  Sadly, only a relative handful of us have heard.  They CAN, and they WILL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright April 2009&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;distributed in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;only.

Most of those who DO know that it stands for Federal Emergency Management Agency, mistakenly believe it is a federal agency whose mission is to assist local communities hit by natural disasters (floods, tornadoes, forest fires, etc.).  That IS the purpose for which it was originally established.  But it was reorganized in 1991 for other purposes entirely.  Since reorganization, 7% of its budget has been dedicated for those original functions.  The remaining 93% is used for activities related to law enforcement and population control.  And its total funding from Congress has mushroomed into one more out-of-control agency.  Its performance in New Orleans during Katrina ought to let people know where its resources are NOT concentrated.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    What it boils down to is that FEMA is intended to become a federal police force that can take over all the police functions of municipalities, counties and states and control all law enforcement activities for the entire nation when a president declares a national emergency.  Over the 18 years since the reorganization, FEMA has been providing grants and subsidies to municipalities, counties and states to train and equip all forces up to military standards.  Tiny jurisdictions now have armored vehicles, flamethrowers, and all sorts of equipment that wouldn't be expected - - by any prudent mind - - to be needed in a thousand years.  But, like has happened over time with the public schools, the federal government has used the insatiable human appetite for money to seduce nearly every jurisdiction in the country to accept their funding and, along with it, the strings of control grants and subsidies carry with them. &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    To the schools they say "You can have the money, but you'll have to teach this, and you cannot teach that."  With law enforcement, it's "You can have the money, but you will have to let us come in and train your officers, and you'll have to become proficient in this and this and this." &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    What they have done over these past two decades, in effect, is to militarize all law enforcement so that transitioning into a federal force can be pulled off with very little difficulty.  Jurisdictions have gradually morphed from organizations that used to "protect and serve" to jackgooted thug units that employ "shock and awe" to subordinate the public and condition them for martial law. &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    Many readers have seen the videos and still photos of the storage facilities where hundreds of thousands of huge, durable plastic "casket liners" (each capable of holding three to five human bodies, depending upon individual body size) are maintained at the ready.  Many know, or at least have heard of, the dozens of concentration camp facilities either in existence or under construction across the fruited plain.  It appears that planners are preparing to incarcerate about 10% of the population and bury at least another 25%.  These plans, Dear Hearts, are a bit more than the mere "contingency plans" they are being represented as to local authorities.  Cloth "Federal Police" shoulder patches have already been manufactured sufficient to outfit all law enforcement personnel (both enforcement and administrative) in the nation.  There have been reports of uniforms of all sizes having been already manufactured and stored as well.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    Mexico, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most countries in Europe already have federal police forces.  In the United States, there are more than 70 federal agencies with law enforcement authorities granted by Congress.  The average educated American might be able to name five or six, such as FBI, DEA, BATFE, EPA, CIA, NSA, etc., but few can name a dozen.  There exist numerous agencies most Americans have never heard even mentioned. &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    The ballooning federal criminal code, draconian mandatory sentences, and rigorous law enforcement tactics - - deploying overwhelming force to "subdue" people who pose little or no threat - - and ever-growing instances of asserting federal "power" into jurisdictions that are Constitutionally exclusive to the states (Waco, Ruby Ridge, OKC) are but a few of the indicatons of what lies ahead.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    As I and many others have been warning for years, the vast majority of Americans won't believe there are black helicopters until one lands in their front yard.  Then it will be too late.  I have seen them.  Many people have videotaped them conducting mock exercises in and around cities and townships all across the country.  Alex Jones (infowars.com) and others have documented their widespread use in military and paramilitary exercises.  The long-running television series "COPS" has gradually conditioned the viewing public to accept as normal all the earmarks of a police state.  Yet the American people persist in yawning and changing the channel.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    If all this sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, listen to this sheriff in a county near Chicago.  Does he sound like a conspiracy nut to you?  Or does he sound like a real live citizen sheriff who is concerned about what he sees going on right under our noses?  Notice the context in which he says "but the law says you have to be involved in this."  What most sheriffs don't know is that they have more Constitutional authority than the federal government has.  Sadly, most sheriffs are political puppets.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    Planning for martial law?&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;a href="http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/606.html"&gt; http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/606.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    Copyright April 2009&lt;br /&gt;    Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;    May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;    distributed in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;    only.

In any event, I shall presume that 100% of those who read my essays, treatises, allocutions, studies, surveys, assessments, and assertions understand the two standards.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Conspiracy Theorists” Not So Crazy After All - 4 min&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/commentary-mainmenu-43/959"&gt;http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/commentary-mainmenu-43/959&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This series will address various subjects by first asserting self-evident hypotheses and then listing items of evidence sufficient to, in my opinion, embody the "preponderance" of available evidence necessary to solidly buttress the beginning hypothesis for each. I shall begin in this opening installment with the first of several subject areas, progress through the list as time permits, and reserve the latitude to add others as they come to mind.  The core beginning list includes the following:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part One:  Obama - Hypothesis:  Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetero, aka Barack Soetero, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham, is a foreigner, is not "natural-born" in the United States, is not eligible to run for, or serve as, President of the United States, is a fraud, is a fake, is a pretender, is an imposter, is a parvenu, and is a usurper.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Two:  Income tax - Hypothesis:  The U.S. Individual Income Tax, as it has been criminally mis-administered for the past 50-plus years, is the most massive financial fraud and transfer of wealth in the history of the world, and amounts to unbridled armed extortion.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Three:  U.S. Government - Hypothesis:  All three branches of the United States Government - - Democratic and Republican alike - - are "infandous" (too disgusting to be adequately expressed using known words). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Four:  The Federal Reserve - Hypothesis:  The Federal Reserve is not an entity of the United States Government but, rather, is a private cartel of international bankers determined to subordinate all countries to a single one-world government under THEIR "omnipotent" rule.  The owners of the privately-owned, for-profit cartel of international bankers comprise the center of operations for the world, around which all else revolves.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part 5ive:  The Prime Targets of Governments - Hypothesis:  The main targets (enemies) of all governments are, necessarily, the people they seek to "govern" (rule, subjugate).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part 6ix:  Mainstream Media - Hypothesis:  The American mainstream media - - which include newspapers, magazines, radio, television, movies, the music industry, school textbooks, publishing houses, a rapidly-growing chunk of the Internet, virtually everything we read, see, hear and "learn" - - are owned and controlled by only six men, all of whom collaborate to operate the greatest propaganda machine ever known to mankind.  These six men are puppets of the Federal Reserve owners (international banking cartel) and comprise what is known, among insiders, as "The Fourth Estate" (of government). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Seven:  September 11, 2001 - Hypothesis:  Almost no part of the wild story the government and the media told the world about the events of September 11, 2001, is provably true.  On the contrary, almost ALL of it is provably UNTRUE. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Eight:  Militarizing Police Forces and the Emergence of the Police State - Hypothesis: For at least the past 15-plus years now, the federal government - - through FEMA and other federal agencies - - has been funding (via subsidies and outright grants) the militarization of local and state law enforcement agencies, including training, doctrine, and equipment, in blatant direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Nine:  Contrails versus Chemtrails - Hypothesis: Contrails are visible as hot exhaust is cooled by the cold air at high altitudes.  They are easy to recognize because they are only visible for a short while before they dissipate.  They leave a tail behind the plane for some distance, but the end of the tail disappears at the same speed the plane travels, so that the tail appears to be the same length all the time.  Chemtrails, on the other hand, are made from some sort of spray that is visible, and they can be seen stretching across the sky from horizon to horizon.  They begin very narrow and compact, then gradually spread out as time goes by but linger on for hours and hours.  Condensation simply does not do that. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Ten:  A "Dumbed-down" Society - Hypothesis: For nearly 50 years the American society has been methodically and systematically "dumbed-down" by a combination of progressively-diminishing educational standards and expectations, in both public schools and most institutions of higher learning, and by use of propagandized indoctrinations that constantly bombard the human subconscious via deceptive advertising and centrally-coordinated television programming.  The cabal of international banking families have been gradually developing a populace of docile, obedient workers who not only don't ask serious questions, they don't think beyond the bounds set for them by government schools and by television programming.  The masses are relentlessly pelted with opinions and explanations, provided by news anchors, elected officials, and so-called "experts" hired by the networks, to the extent that the vast majority of people simply adopt and parrot views and opinions they have heard expressed over and over by "talking heads."  It's so much easier than thinking for oneself, and it makes the duping of the masses into actually believing the ludicrous explanations - - of events they are spoon-fed - - a mere walk in the park.   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Eleven: Controlling the World by Controlling Food and Water Supplies - Hypothesis: Monsanto, Arthur-Daniels-Midland, Dupont, and a couple of other mega-corporations will soon control more than 80% of the world's food and drinkable water supplies.  Once that hurdle has been conquered, reducing world population will be a simple matter of starving selected cultures to death.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Part Twelve: Population Control via "Mandatory" Vaccinations and Fluoridation of Water - Hypothesis:  The "men behind the curtain" have made great strides in these arenas, by fluoridating the bodies of people and poisoning them with mercury and other ingredients of vaccinations.  In 1950, one in 10,000 children was afflicted by autism; today, it's one in 150.  Countless scientists, doctors, and researchers have concluded that such anomalies have been caused by fluoride and mercury.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;                            PART ONE&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hypothesis:  Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetero, aka Barack Soetero, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham, is a foreigner, is not "natural-born" in the United States, is not eligible to run for, or serve as, President of the United States, is a fraud, a fake, a pretender, an imposter, a usurper.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Indisputable assumptions:  (1) This is one of the most egregious Constitutional crises of modern times, and (2) if AKA were, indeed, a natural born citizen, he would have presented a valid birth certificate when initially claiming eligibility to run for president, and would not have defied all attempts to denude his history.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FACTS and EVIDENCE: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1.  Not only has AKA never presented a valid birth certificate for public inspection, he has steadfastly refused to produce one in the face of countless formal, informal, and legal requests and demands to do so.  Additionally, he has posted a forged "copy" of an extract (that purports to be official) on his website to mislead the public.  One Hawaiian official has claimed that a valid birth certificate is on file within the Hawaiian government, claims he has seen it, has examined it, and finds it to be authentic, but no one else is permitted to see it; that the world must take his word that it exists.  Moreover, AKA has spent more than $1 million on legal fees to block all attempts to uncover any facts regarding his background.  ABSOLUTELY UNPRECEDENTED! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2.  Prior to announcing his candidacy for President, AKA took legal steps to seal most of his records from public view, citing personal privacy.  Such records include all those accumulated by the various schools and colleges he claims to have attended - - both in the United States and abroad - - and virtually all records of his civilian, non-academic activities in and around Chicago.  Similarly, he has had sealed all records relating to his medical history, both here and abroad, and has sealed official - - otherwise public - - records pertaining to him that may or may not be maintained by the governments of Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii, the United States and elsewhere.  UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3.  In 1981, AKA traveled to Pakistan at a time when U.S. citizens were not allowed to enter that country.  He traveled there on an Indonesian passport.  Indonesians WERE permitted entry at that time.  He attended Occidental College (Los Angeles) as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia.  Whether or not he received financial assistance, and from what source(s), is not clear.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;IS OBAMA A BRITISH CITIZEN, INDONESIAN, OR AMERICAN CITIZEN?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.resistnet.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2600775%3ABlogPost%3A660950&amp;page=1#comment-2600775_Comment_683679 "&gt;http://www.resistnet.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2600775%3ABlogPost%3A660950&amp;page=1#comment-2600775_Comment_683679 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Supremes asked to cooperate with FBI in Obama probe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=93832"&gt;http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=93832&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4.  All 535 members of Congress know AKA is not a natural born citizen, and the key members of his staff and cabinet most certainly know.  All nine justices of the Supreme Court know.  Moreover, all the key mainstream media anchors and senior network officials know.  Only the PEOPLE are kept in the dark.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5.  Like Adolf Hitler, he has no allegiance to the country over which he now unlawfully "reigns".  Hitler was born in Austria.  He was not born into any allegiance to Germany, nor did he ever swear any oath of allegiance to Germany.  Similarly, AKA was born in Kenya (East Africa), with no inherent natural allegiance to the United States.  Moreover, he has not officially sworn any oath of allegiance to the United States at any time since (nor has he acquired naturalized citizenship).  Everyone remembers that the oath at the January 20, 2009 "inauguration" was [deliberately] bungled and, even when the public was told that the oath was allegedly "re-administered" at the White House, the ceremony was (1) performed without a Bible and (2) was not recorded on film or videotape (therefore the "re-do" was no more valid than the inaugural).  Such a colossal "blunder" - - not really a blunder, but instead was BY DESIGN - - was UNPRECEDENTED!  Therefore, neither Hitler nor AKA (were) (are) (can be) subject to any charges of TREASON.  One cannot be a traitor to a country in which he was not born nor to which he has never sworn any oath of allegiance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;6.  Adolf Hitler was chosen by the international bankers to launch a World War and sustain it for a time, gradually diminishing the strengths of all participants.  They extended credit to the countries involved in the war, deeply indebting them all to the central banks they owned.  Like Adolf Hitler, AKA may well have been "chosen" by the "men behind the curtain" to lead the dismantling and destruction of the nation, financially, socially, morally, psychologically, and physically, which is the next logical step in the march to an all-powerful one-world government.  UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;7.  A surprising number of people who could have provided fist-hand witness testimony regarding some of AKA's activities over the past 20 years are....you guessed it....mysteriously and prematurely DEAD.  With the possible exception of the deaths surrounding Bill Clinton, UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;8.  AKA's first official televised interview, after beginning his impersonation of a President of the United States, was with a FOREIGN Arab television station.  UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;OBAMA AL-ARABIYA INTERVIEW: FULL TEXT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/26/obama-al-arabiya-intervie_n_161127.html"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/26/obama-al-arabiya-intervie_n_161127.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9.  So far, most of AKA's appointments of key staff and cabinet level officials have come from the ranks of  the most corrupt individuals on the modern-day political scene.  It appears he fully intends to move Chicago's "Republicans-need-not-apply" machine to Washington.  UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;10.  During the campaign, and the run-up to the 2008 election, AKA refused to place his hand over his heart for the playing of the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.  In all instances of both, he has refrained from singing the lyrics to the Anthem and from reciting the words of the Pledge.  During a recent visit to Marine Base Camp LeJuene, AKA remained out of sight at his own welcoming ceremony until AFTER the National Anthem had been played.  UNPRECEDENTED!  These ARE NOT the acts of a patriotic Christian American, but the behavior of a devout NUSLIM.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Obama skips National Anthem at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=352737"&gt;http://www.ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=352737&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;11.  During the recent G-20 Summit, AKA greeted the King of Saudi Arabia with a full bow from the waist, a move one commentator described as a violation of protocol and not worthy of the office he holds.  UNPRECEDENTED!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Obama bows to Saudi king - video&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=93696"&gt;http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=93696&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;12.  AKA has ramrodded legislation through which shifts massive amounts of wealth from the American middle class to the International Banking Cartel.  UNPRECEDENTED!  Large chunks of the "funny-money" went to trust accounts to be held and spent on the 2010 elections to support candidates of AKA's choosing.  Another large chunk went to an organization AKA formed several years ago (ACORN), one which has been for some time now under federal and state investigations for election fraud and vote-rigging in the 2008 and earlier elections. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;13. AKA has ordered the release of several Muslims previously held as known or suspected terrorists, with all charges withdrawn.  UNPRECEDENTED! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;14.  AKA has directed and facilitated the formation of numerous "Youth Brigades" - - shades of "Hitler Youth" - - many which were formed, indoctrinated, and operational long BEFORE the November, 2008, election.  UNPRECEDENTED!    &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CONCLUSION:  There can be no remotely reasonable claim that AKA is a natural-born citizen of the United States. There can be no claim that he has any loyalty to the United States.  There can be no question that his loyalties to Islam and Africa (the "mother continent") are paramount, and that his loathe for the United States has been repeatedly demonstrated.  He most definitely is not a U.S. citizen, either born or naturalized.  AKA is preparing the sabotaging and total collapse of the economy, the currency, and the United States of America itself.  His role in transitioning the United States into a nation state of a supreme one-world government has been assigned to him, and he is pursuing it with all deliberate speed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;                                  PART TWO - (Not yet written, but coming soon)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright April 2009&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;distributed in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;only.

With the birth of the Constitution for the United States of America, a representative republic was established to which We the People granted powers that were few and defined.  In the years since, the three branches of that republic have gradually grown - - in both size and power - - and transformed the republic into the oligarchic monstrosity that economically and psychologically enslaves us today.  That we cannot see the shackles eases none of the restrictions on our lives.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Few people realize and understand that this growth has only been possible because We the People have stood indolently by and permitted those in official positions to continuously empower themselves with our money and with the authority that our disinterested nonparticipation allows to thrive.  At any juncture along the way, We the People could have stopped the transformation - - and retained the republic - - but we haven't.  The republic is gone.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For years I've been telling - - preaching to - - people and readers that our last best hope is to vote at least 300 members of Congress out of the House of Representatives.  I'd really like to see 434 of them (save Ron Paul) sent home, but I've long thought that if 300 were evicted, the other 135 would suddenly see being responsive to We the People as the only way they could retain their seats.  But I have finally realized that is never going to happen.  In modern times, the largest number ever replaced in a single election was 52, back in 1994.  We saw then that the 383 who weren't defeated were the ones who "trained" the 52 freshmen to "replace" the ousted 52, and the status quo was preserved with only a hiccup interruption.  The newbies were jerked into line in very short order.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What We the People had accomplished in 1994 amounted to nothing beyond having temporarily fooled themselves.  The illusion prevailed - - that a new group was in charge - - for a while, but it soon became apparent that nothing had actually changed but the label by which the majority was identified.  Though the "new" majority was said to be Republican, the performance of the Congress continued to be indistinguishable from that of the preceding Democratic House.  Both parties represent the same special interests, and they ain't We the People.  What we have in reality is single-party rule, with the first and second teams taking turns on the floor from time to time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We the People have complained, moaned, and groaned over the years, not as a formidable majority but, as a multitude of small, splintered groups - - each with no significant influence - - championing various single-issue agendas.  That's as the puppet masters want it.  They see a little dissent as healthy, so long as it doesn't get out of hand or project any power.  They see We the People as items on their menu, and they "employ" public officials as chefs to "prepare" us and "keep us warm" on the steam table.  At all costs, they are determined to keep us off the guest lists of their planning conferences.  Through the mechanisms and systems they have devised and put into place, they routinely grind selected people up like sausage to maintain their control and, of course, their cash flow (income taxes).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Throughout the first 55 years of my life I truly believed that the United States of America was a Constitutional Republic, with three separate branches of government.  I believed the President and Vice President, and members of both Houses of Congress, were elected by secret ballot of the people in open and free elections supervised by the people.  I believed Supreme Court Justices were nominated by Presidents and confirmed by the Senate, and I believed the rules governing the operations of the three branches of government contained a system of "checks and balances" that guaranteed no one branch could ever become too powerful. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I believed that the Federal Reserve was an official agency of the U.S. Government and its Chairman was periodically selected by Presidents and confirmed by Senates.  I believed the public education system was the best in the world.  And I believed the people in the criminal justice system in the United States were essentially fair and honest , and dedicated to the pursuit of justice.  I even naively believed that judges and juries viewed all defendants as innocent until proven guilty.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The reason I believed all these myths is because I was "educated" (indoctrinated) to believe them.  I read about them in textbooks in high school and college.  I saw the concepts portrayed in movies and on television.  I saw "talking heads" on various "news" shows endlessly discussing the ins and outs of all the so-called political issues and election campaigns.  I even watched both Houses of Congress put on their "shows" on C-SPAN.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Eventually I learned that elections are anything but free and open.  Since long before my birth (during the Great Depression), elections have been rigged to produce the outcomes desired by the "money trust," (the puppet masters, the men behind the curtain).  Today, it's very easily done with computer software rather than stuffing ballot boxes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As long as 2,000 people physically go and vote in a given precinct, the computerized, unverifiable no-paper-trail voting machines can be programmed to "tally" that 1,100 voted for Candidate A and 900 voted for Candidate B.  It is by those 2,000 people going to the polls that they give the power to the criminal scumbags who rig elections. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What if no one voted?  What if no one showed up at the polls on election day?  What if two or three people in each precinct were to set up video cameras across or down the street and focused on the entrances to the voting places, to show that no one entered all day?  Wouldn't the media be forced to report it, since they wouldn't have footage of people crowding around these places?  How could the political bosses claim their candidate had won if no votes were cast?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What if no one voted for, say Representative John Smith of Rhode Island's 87th District?  Would he remain in the House of Representatives without receiving any votes?  What if ten people in that district were to go in and vote for the challenger, and be interviewed on camera by concerned citizens of the District after voting, clearly announcing that they had voted for the challenger?  Could the party bosses claim victory for Smith, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service." - Albert Einstein&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our armed forces are all-volunteer forces.  What if nobody were to volunteer?  There is no law against opting not to volunteer, is there?  Seems I remember an old movie "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;North Platte Canteen - 7 min - Here's an example of what used to be important &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07DGeLvDw8I"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07DGeLvDw8I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if we could educate our youth, and persuade them that our armed forces don't serve our country, they don't protect our imaginary freedom, they don't support and defend the Constitution, but instead protect the interests of world financiers and multi-national corporations?  What if our youth were awakened to reality and no one volunteered for service in the armed forces?  How can a country engage in war if it has no military?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;    "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Hermann Göring, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe (Nazi Air Force), President of the Reichstag (German Parliament), Creator of the Gestapo (Nazi Secret Police), designated successor to Hitler.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One key in Göring's quote above is his reference to patriotism.  When a country sends it's fighting forces to war, all citizens are expected to rally around the flag and support the troops and, by implication, support the cause for which they allegedly are fighting.  Is it possible to support the troops while opposing the war?  Yes and no.  We want to support our troops no matter what.  Some people believe the propaganda "My country, right or wrong." &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But how can we justify - - in our own minds, let alone in any other venue - - rooting for the troops as many of them die while striving to kill "the enemy" when we know the best way to truly support them is to bring them home and get them out of harm's way if the war is a waste of time, money, and good soldiers?  Are these soldiers not good men and women, weren't they valuable human beings before they went to war?  Will the country's population benefit from their presence, performance, sacrifice and even death in the war, or will the only beneficiaries be the financiers, the mega-corporations and the politicians?  How does an American family benefit when its loved one is killed in uniform? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How do 5,000 families benefit when 5,000 service members die in war?  And how do 15,000 other families cope with 15,000 crippled-for-life soldiers come home?  How many of us are willing to see our son-husband-father-brother-uncle-nephew-cousin die or be crippled for no reason other than to protect or enhance the profits of corporations which sell munitions, armaments, weapons, and supplies to the military, or to provide windfall profits to the banking industry which lends money to both sides of every conflict?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A second key aspect of the quote is just how simple it is to "drag the people along" using most any sort of FEAR that there is an "enemy" somewhere threatening their country and their freedoms.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, why not stop volunteering for military service?  Why not stop voting?  Why not stop paying taxes en mass?  If We the People don't GIVE power to the government, then it hasn't any.  If we don't give it our money, if we don't give it our relatives, if we don't vote anyone into office, what power does government have?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You see, ladies and gentlemen, an armed revolution cannot succeed.  It would spill a lot of blood but, in the end, the people would lose big time.  The government has planes, tanks and bombs arrayed against our pistols and rifles.  They can disable our motor vehicles via satellite with a couple of key strokes.  They can shut down our communications just as easily, or they can leave them operational and listen to every plan, then "head us off at the pass."  We cannot overpower them, but we damn surely can deny them the power of our willing support.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For 20 years after I completed my 20-year Army career, I encouraged lots of young men to join the armed forces.  I cannot in good conscience do that ever again.  I cannot encourage anyone to risk his life - - and turn his family's lives inside-out - - to satisfy the profit motives of the elite.  War is a racket, always has been and always will be. The text of a speech "War is a Racket" U.S. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler delivered was published in 1935 as a booklet.  You can read it online at the link below.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;WAR IS A RACKET - Major General Smedley D. Butler - USMC Retired - READ IT HERE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm"&gt;http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes." - Five-star general Douglas MacArthur&lt;br /&gt;    "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - Five-star General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower&lt;br /&gt;    "Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them must share in the guilt for the dead." - Five-star General Omar Bradley&lt;br /&gt;    "Older men declare war. But it is youth who must fight and die." - President Herbert Clark Hoover&lt;br /&gt;    "Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.  War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today." - John F. Kennedy&lt;br /&gt;    "Every thoughtful, well-meaning and conscientious human being should assume in time of peace, the solemn and unconditional obligation not to participate in any war, for any reason or to lend support of any kind, whether direct or indirect." - Albert Einstein&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;The United States Government is working tirelessly to wipe out the middle class, and its rapid progress is conspicuous to all who bother to look.  A middle class is an inherent and unavoidable by-product in a society of free people, but when a government deliberately dismantles the middle class - - as is currently being done here - - the intent is to obliterate freedom and suppress the people.  The people's influence upon such a government, that aims to move them into peasantry and serfdom, must be snuffed out before the final takeover can be launched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I've changed my mind about (1) voting everybody out of the House of Representatives and about (2) encouraging military service.  The latter is a real turnaround for a man of my background, but is a position I haven't adopted without long, deep, and profound thought.  Considering some of the quotes I provided above, I suspect I'm in the company of some pretty impressive men.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We need to recognize what a joke elections are in this country.  Even using the pre-programmed computer-generated figures they gave us, 65% of Americans eligible to vote DID NOT VOTE for Barack Obama, yet we are led by the media to believe he won by such a great margin that it gave him a "mandate."  What kind of fools do they think we are?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We must organize and boycott elections everywhere until they get rid of electronic machines and return to paper ballots that can be counted by hand, in settings open to the public.  We'd be far better off waiting a few days or a week to get and verify the final vote tallies than to have instant results determined in advance by the men behind the curtain.  Elections - - as they have long been conducted - - insult our intelligence.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And we must discourage all our youth from joining any branch of the military service.  It's time we stopped providing our loved ones as expendable fodder for the money machines of the super-rich.  Printing trillions of dollars is a move designed to wipe out the middle class, and we must find ways to stop that, though I fear that juggernaut can't be derailed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Despite what you may or may not think of Rush Limbaugh, and despite whether you consider yourself liberal or conservative, you will be hard-pressed to disagree with the messages he includes in this recently-televised 83-minute (C-SPAN and FOX) talk before CPAC.  He really only talks about 45 minutes but, with all the applause interruptions, it takes about 83 minutes.  But he does remind us of the virtues and values that made this country great in the first place.  Unless we return to those standards, there is little hope for this nation to survive.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Rush Limbaugh addresses the nation - CIPAC - 83 minutes (in 10 minute segments)&lt;br /&gt;http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2009/02/rush-limbaugh-speech-to-cpac-says-take.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Then, a really good look at reality is provided in this 144-minute presentation.  I urge everyone to watch and listen to every word.  There is a whale of a lot of information on a wide variety of subjects covered in these twelve 12-minute segments.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A FILM TO END ALL WARS!

Once it is understood that the people who own the Federal Reserve (the same ones who own the international Monetary Fund and World Bank) own and control about three-quarters of the wealth of the planet, then it is easier to understand that ALL POWER - - economic, political and military - - is owned and controlled directly or indirectly by the same people. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's also easier to understand that they "select" and "anoint" ALL our presidents and heads of state worldwide - - and "eliminate" those who don't follow instructions - - in advance, and persuade us that WE dum bassed "useless eaters" (that's what they call us) "elected" them.  People this wealthy wouldn't dream of permitting their financial futures to be adversely influenced by independent heads of state (who might, Heaven forbid, be tempted to look out for the people from whom the Fed is committed to eventually draining all the property and fruits of their labor).  Ninety-five percent of the 545 people who appear to run the United States Government (President, Congress, and nine Supreme Court Justices) are tightly controlled by the owners of the Federal Reserve. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Those who mistakenly believe the propaganda that the BANKS are failing, simply have no clue what is taking place.  Here at the beginning of 2009, we stand on the threshold of the greatest mass transfer of property and wealth since this system was put into place in 1913, greater than that which transpired during the period from 1929 to 1939 (Great Depression) when banks took title to homes, farms and businesses all across the country, and sucked massive amounts of money right out of the public's pocketbooks.  We're about to witness the final stages of the move to centralized one-world RULE (they'll call it "governance") under their absolute control.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Some have heard this delivery before, but it never hurts to hear it again.  I've listened to it at least half a dozen times.  It's probably the most awesome (fear-filled) and best-documented presentation you'll likely hear this year for a long time to come.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8484911570371055528"&gt;The Creature from Jekyll Island - A Second Look at the Federal Reserve - 1 hr 11 min&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-8484911570371055528&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=true" style="width:400px;height:326px" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"How many steps down the basement stairs must we take before we realize they lead to the basement?" - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"One can never see that at which he refuses to look." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Your 'opinion' that it isn't raining won't keep you dry if it IS raining." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"The last half of 2008 was a dry run, a practice rehearsal for the real thing coming in 2009.

If they are born in the forest, they experience freedom but take it for granted rather than cherishing it or doing anything to preserve and protect it. If they are captured and put in a cage, they will only then come to realize the value of freedom and will always long for a return to the forest. But if they are born in a cage, they don't know the forest exists and won't understand freedom, even when someone who understands it describes it to them. After two generations are born in cages, the very concept of freedom is all but lost." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Throughout my adulthood I have been willing to lay down my life in defense of my country, its Constitution and its people; but I shall never risk a single hair on my head to defend or protect corrupt, criminal government or corporate enterprises." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"We the people unwillingly surrender, at virtual gunpoint, approximately half of the fruits of our labor so government can take care of those among us who cannot - - or will not - - provide for themselves, and so that politicians we didn't vote for can use our money to buy more votes next election from voters on whom they spent our money." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Few people realize the nation is being herded into regional corrals of psychological and economic bondage in which the ever-tightening fences and ankle-chains are invisible." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Legislation: If it's needed by the people, is logical and Constitutional, but doesn't put money into the pockets of legislators or their friends - - or won't put citizens in jail - - then it hasn't a prayer of passing." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Authorities abhor independent-thinking citizens and armed citizens." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"All the lawyers who give a rat sass about justice....are dead.

On one block he glances to his right just in time to see his wife emerging from a house he recognizes as belonging to one of his male co-workers. The wife seems in a hurry and is straightening her clothing. This, Dear Hearts, is a coincidence. That bomb-sniffing dogs were removed from the World Trade Center Twin Towers five days before 9-11 is no coincidence. That a president stacks his staff and cabinet with members of the Council and Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group is neither coincidence nor accident." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Asking the government to investigate - - to appoint a "special prosecutor" or establish a commission - - is like asking Al Capone or John Gotti to investigate the Mafia.

Should they do anything that could possibly strengthen the voice of the people, it would necessarily diminish their own power. In plain words, we mistakenly believe we "elect" people to represent us and look out for our best interests when, in fact, we willingly send people to legislatures without acknowledging that their very survival depends upon their intentionally screwing us every single day they serve. Can this be yet another definition of insanity?" - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"The difference between the Russian Press and the American Press is that the Russian Press, the Russian Government and the Russian PEOPLE all readily acknowledge that the press is tightly controlled by the government - - and Americans ignorantly deny it." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-4782861644568673002?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/4782861644568673002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=4782861644568673002' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/4782861644568673002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/4782861644568673002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2009/01/understanding-this-is-essential.html' title='Understanding THIS is ESSENTIAL!'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SXHcCzqyoOI/AAAAAAAAJ8Y/6bYbLC7k6ME/s72-c/CreatureFromJekylIsland.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-8718623100050737551</id><published>2008-11-22T07:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-22T07:43:00.559-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fred marshall truth light constitution declaration of independence martial law republic order ron paul bailout'/><title type='text'>Reading the Signs Worse Than Expected</title><content type='html'>by Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;November 21, 2008&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's a good bet that 30% of the articles I've written over the past 10-12 years are lost for all time because I haven't been diligent in archiving them or even always keeping master copies.  I write when something prompts me to write, or I feel a need to inform others of something I suspect the majority doesn't know, or I get an idea I think's worth sharing.  So, when I refer to something I've said earlier, I do it from memory, not from going back and finding when and where I previously stated something.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;That said, I recall that several months back the signs led me to suggest the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) would likely fall as low as 7,000.  Many laughed.  The term "conspiracy theorist" was bandied about. The signs now lead me to project the DJIA may well drop to 6,000 before spring, maybe even before Christmas.  Things are going to hell in a battered hand basket faster than I had expected, frankly faster than even most of the so-called experts have predicted.  But I don't see any way to prevent such a fall.  So many aspects of the economy are so intricately interwoven that when one thing falls it knocks down three or four or more other nearby or related things.  It's almost like an elephant in a china store. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When new housing starts slow significantly, no one can expect carpet or paint sales to pick up.  When a national chain closes 50 stores and scrubs 5,000 jobs, the unemployment rate doesn't go down, it goes up.  So, what happens when a large number of the national brands that are household words go belly-up....when the leading auto makers are losing their hineys....when banks long thought to be rock-solid are dropping like flies.... when the companies which are staying afloat have their phones answered in New Delhi, India, because they aren't employing many Americans....when stocks worth $100,000 a year ago are worth $5,000 today....when defaults on auto loans are up 40%....when twice as many home mortgages are 90 days past due as at this time a year ago....when the public learns the $700 billion in bailout money isn't going to be used for the purposes its promoters promised it would....when consumer and investor confidence is in the toilet....when word spreads that a new presumed president-elect may not even be a natural-born citizen (and thus not ELIGIBLE to run, let alone serve)....when that same presumed president-elect has promised sweeping changes, yet is progressively announcing appointments of some of the very people who were up to their ears participating heavily in creating the financial crisis we face....when people can hardly find anything positive to talk about?  I'll tell you what happens, the stock market TANKS.  Start getting used to seeing numbers beginning with sevens and then sixes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you don't already have your money out of banking institutions now, you don't have many days left to get it out, and may not even be able to get it out Monday.  U.S. minted gold coin (purity known) is hard to come by now, though some quantities can still be purchased directly from the mint.  The urgent thing right now is to have access to your MONEY.  The dollar shouldn't totally collapse for a while yet.   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Eighteen months ago I advised a lady my age to get completely out of the stock market, but she insisted she was in for the long haul, her retirement security was spread in "diversified" stocks she said.  Today, her million dollars are worth less than two hundred grand, and she's still holding on.  She'll be lucky to cash in $50,000 when she musters the courage to cut her losses.  At her age, she may end up on welfare.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;People don't look, they don't observe, they think "it can't happen here," and even when they see they don't comprehend.  It's really disheartening to see the stubbornness in people who are really smart enough to know better.  Everything that doesn't fit the molds they've had created in their minds by our miserably-failed education system, they quickly label as "conspiracy theories" and dismiss conspicuous truth out of hand.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Germans kept meticulously-detailed records of everything way back in the 1930s, and yet today technology permits, even encourages, the permanent keeping of even the minutest of seemingly unimportant information.  Everything that moves, besides us, has a radio-frequency identification chip in it, everything from shavers to riding lawn mowers and everything in between.  Everything we buy at WalMart, and most other places, has the tracking chip embedded in it.  It won't be long before we'll have them in our bodies.  The mechanisms to track and control everything are all in place, and soon there will be no privacy at all in this country.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What people fail to realize is that when all the foreclosures on homes, farms and businesses occurred during the Great Depression, the titles to all that property ended up in the hands of the bankers.  They had financed them all with "money" they created out of thin air, with NOTHING, and then in exchange for nothing, they suddenly owned millions of acres of land and countless homes, buildings, equipment, etc., which they eventually sold again.  The same thing is going on now.  Despite pressure from the government upon lenders to give borrowers maximum leeway, foreclosures continue to mount, quietly shifting into the hands of banks.  And who is being "bailed out" (read enriched) by the government with the people's money?  You've got it, the BANKERS.  The plan worked to perfection in the 1930's and it's working again, only this time it's on a far grander scale.  It's called a "transfer of wealth."  What it really is, is "serfdom."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Government's law enforcement agencies have equipment and technology most people would call "futuristic" or "science-fiction" because they cannot imagine that such stuff actually exists and might be used on the people.  Take a look at some of these samples. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Long Range accuastical device&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/long-range-accuastical-device"&gt;http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/long-range-accuastical-device&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;History &amp; Future of Human Tracking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/history-future-of-human"&gt;http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/history-future-of-human&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Microchip&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/microchip-"&gt;http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/microchip-&lt;/a&gt;1&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;RFID in the real world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/rfid-in-the-real-world"&gt;http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/rfid-in-the-real-world&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ray Gun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/ray-gun"&gt;http://fightingtyranny.ning.com/video/ray-gun&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's just so frustrating to see all the things I see and to know how few Americans even have a clue what goes on in the world they inhabit.  It's really frustrating.  But, at my age, about all I can do is yell at the top of my lungs and hope for the best.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright November 2008&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-8718623100050737551?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/8718623100050737551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=8718623100050737551' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/8718623100050737551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/8718623100050737551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2008/11/reading-signs-worse-than-expected.html' title='Reading the Signs Worse Than Expected'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-4356260717345011459</id><published>2008-10-09T06:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T06:08:48.618-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's attorneys seek protection from citizenship challenge</title><content type='html'>Press release on Philip Berg's lawsuit challenging Obama's citizenship.  Berg claims Obama was borne in Kenya and has asked the court to order the production of documents.  Instead of producing the documents that, if they exist, would end the lawsuit, Obama's defense (joined by the DNC) filed a motion to dismiss and then has asked the court to issue a protective order protecting them from having to comply with any production order.  That tells its own story...the documents do not exist.  Obama is not a United States Citizen.  The media are doing their damnedest to suppress this story.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The media successfully helped John Kerry hide his bad conduct discharge from the Navy, the one he later had upgraded to honorable under Jimmy Carter's Amnesty program for the Vietnam era, and now they're trying to get a non-citizen fraudulently elected President.

Being wrong can be embarrassing. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Over the past few days I have devoted about three hours daily to sorting out and organizing articles I have written since 2004 so I can eventually archive the pieces on a website.  I've reviewed a bunch of them already this week and am frankly quite surprised at how many things have come to pass pretty much as I described in advance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No one knows better than I how much I hope and pray I am wrong, that things will work out much better than available evidence suggests they will.  I pray that every day.  My country, its future and the future of my family are far more important than my pride or reputation.  I sincerely hope things will work out far better than I have projected.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Most of what I see and discuss is available to anyone willing to look.  I spend very little time reading the opinions of others, and instead focus attention to looking at events, evidence and indicators.  When I see an auto parked in a driveway with its hood just inside the open garage door, I can be reasonably confident that the next time it moves it will be backing up.  Then when I subsequently see a vandal place a pile of broken glass and nails under the right rear tire, it's a good bet the driver will not notice.  Therefore, predicting a flat tire within the next 24 hours is not a feat of clairvoyance...it's a matter of finding and interpreting the evidence.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I realize that most readers don't have the time I have to research and examine things.  For too long now, such people have unfortunately relied upon the mainstream media to do the scouring and digging and reporting the important news to them.  The media have realized this awesome power to influence people and mold opinions, and have methodically betrayed listeners and viewers by using their ability to indoctrinate, propagandize, and gradually brainwash their audiences.  I, and countless other truth-seekers, try to be just one offset that sheds light into the darkness of misinformation and disinformation that bombards the general population every day. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;My successes may be few, but I take pride in a few stories that find their way back to me over time.  I'd like to tell you about just one of them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A few days ago three ladies were out campaigning for a candidate who is running to fill the seat of a retiring elected official.  They knocked on my older son's door and were invited in.  One of the ladies is a professional and the other two are stay-at-home-moms.  When she realized my son's name is the same as mine (I'm Jr. and he's III), she told him that his father (me) had written her a letter about ten years ago that changed her life and had increased her income considerably.  She said she has re-read the letter about every six months ever since then.  When he told me her name and profession, I remembered, though I have not seen her since writing the letter.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Some ten years ago I had occasion to discuss some business with her.  We had been total strangers before that day.  She was in a threesome business partnership with two men and, before I departed her place of business, our conversation had gone beyond what I was there for and I'd learned in some detail a few of the frustrating difficulties she encountered in her uncommon partnership arrangement.  So when I returned home, I wrote a letter to her proposing a strategy, and outlining some specific steps and actions I believed would improve her relationships with her partners, and suggested ways to increase her business and profit.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So now I'm quite curious.  Though I don't recall the contents of my letter, I plan to call her tomorrow and ask for a copy of it.  I'm now eager to know what I told her ten years ago and, more specifically, I want to know whether or not the advice I gave her then was the same I would offer today under the same or similar circumstances.  I'm betting it is.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Life has many rewards whose values cannot be expressed in dollars and cents or even by any tangible measurement.  A high school classmate said, as he emceed our class reunion in 1995, "If a man has a woman he loves, and who loves him, and work he enjoys, then he need ask for no more in life."  I never managed any long-term success on the loving woman aspect, but I have always loved the work I have chosen throughout my life.  At least I am half-lucky, huh?  I wish all of you get to experience just half the happiness I have enjoyed in my lifetime; if you do, you will be lucky indeed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-2464772277482012695?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&amp;zx=6jl07zg0bscv&amp;shva=1#inbox/11ce18522673f0a8' title='The Silver Lining'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/2464772277482012695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=2464772277482012695' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/2464772277482012695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/2464772277482012695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2008/10/silver-lining.html' title='The Silver Lining'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-3556553776616219414</id><published>2008-10-09T06:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T06:05:23.363-07:00</updated><title type='text'>For Want of a Nail</title><content type='html'>by Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;October 8, 2008&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.rhymes.org.uk/for_want_of_a_nail.htm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For want of a nail rhyme&lt;br /&gt;http://www.rhymes.org.uk/for_want_of_a_nail.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In the movie 'The Hunt For Red October,' Alec Baldwin is seen wondering out loud to himself while shaving aboard the USS Enterprise, 'What would make a crew WANT to get off a nuclear submarine?' &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In similar fashion, one might wonder 'What events could destroy the economy and currency of the United States, and were such events accidental or contrived?'  Many Americans have certainly given those questions some deep thought.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We know the flawed mechanism which provided the setting is the debt ponzi scheme that is our unconstitutional monetary system.  The first major chink in the armor of the lending market came with Jimmy Carter's 1977 'Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)' which forced banks to make loans to borrowers who didn't meet normal minimum standards of creditworthiness, but who were classified as belonging to 'communities of color.'&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Act was structured to give enforcement authority to four bureaucracies (the Federal Reserve, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) at least two of which are not legal agencies of the federal government.  The law provided that any one of these agencies can prohibit or postpone any bank merger, bank expansion, or even opening of a new branch if the Act's "quotas" have not been met, based upon complaints from any community group.  That allowed "community groups," such as ACORN, to extort banks and blackmail the government into bestowing federal grants upon them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Chink number two provided the landscape.  Despite the knowledge (gained from years of administering the destructive loan programs) that such massive, irresponsible lending to unqualified borrowers would eventually collapse the system, Bill Clinton nevertheless forced the parameters to be expanded and the lending to be stepped up.  What we are seeing now could have been seen coming from a mile away way back then, by anyone willing to take even a cursory look at the numbers; and we know at least four bureaucracies and a three presidents WERE looking at those figures all along.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In late 1999, knowing full well where the program was heading, Fannie Mae (under the stewardship of "friend of Obama" Franklin Raines) moved to loosen credit rules even further than they already had been relaxed.  This opened the floodgates for more bad, or I should say worse, loans to be made not only to unqualified American borrowers but to unqualified ILLEGAL ALIENS as well.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Alfonso Johnson (head of HUD and "friend of Obama") joined Fannie Mae and the Congressional Black Caucus by pushing legislation that reduced, and in some cases eliminated, the requirement for down payments, and also pushed rule changes that made it much harder for enforcement to detect and pursue perpetrators of fraud in lending.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0"&gt;Fannie Mae CEO calling Obama and the Dems the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Do you believe that any soundly-managed bank would, absent government interference, make mortgage loans to borrowers they know going in cannot possibly repay them?  Of course not.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Well, that's precisely what the privately-owned, non-government Federal Reserve and the United States Government have conspired, for more than 20 years, to do and they have done it.  More than ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in bad loans, backed by Mac and Mae, have been made, including 5ive million loans to illegal aliens.  If one believes government figures on the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. (12 to 20 million), then not only has the government encouraged illegals to flock here, it has looked the other way as they were coming in but, once they are here and established, the government has sought them out and given one in four of them government-backed loans (government-backed means the government promises that you and I will pay for the defaults).  That's like Archie lending Bill's lawn mower to Charles. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you were a woman who had gone to a beauty shop which put the wrong chemicals on your hair, chemicals so strong they burned the roots so badly that your hair fell out and could never grow back, would you then send your 16-year-old daughter to the same beauty shop the following week? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Well, that's precisely what the American people will be doing if they elect Barack Obama in November.  Electing John McCain doesn't hold much promise either.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Why do we send people to Congress in the first place?  Isn't a little oversight one of the things we expect of them?  Don't we expect a little oversight from the mainstream media?  Are they telling us that it's likely Obama isn't even a U.S. Citizen?  No.  Are they telling us of his close connections with many of the key players who helped create the conditions which brought this crisis about?  Are they telling us of McCain's Keating 5ive swindles? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No, they're telling us that everything bad happened under the current president's "watch" when it is clear that the pot was put on the stove during Jimmy Carter's watch and has been boiling steadily through the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, Bush the Elder, Bill Clinton and, now, Bush Junior.  We need to start seeing reality and calling spades spades.  We don't have a qualified candidate for President in either the Democratic or Republican Parties. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Politicians and government officials, parroted by the media, changed "bailout" to "rescue."  Now they are carefully shifting from "depression" to "recession."  Every time Bush, Bernanke or Paulson speaks, the stock market drops.  Today it dropped 200 points within 15 minutes after Paulson stammered and fumbled with questions he was asked. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Unemployment is rising like baking dough.  Home burglaries and robberies of small businesses are already on the upswing.  The government is promising to bail everybody out, everybody but us, the poor working stiffs they're robbing.  Thousands of us have been predicting this for years.  Millions haven't heard a word we've said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For want of a little conscientious oversight by the people, a nation is lost.  I hope at least some of you are ready.  I, for one, am not thrilled at the possibility of going down the tubes with the lazy, apathetic masses who've laid on their fat azzes and stuffed their faces while our nation has been burning. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright October 2008&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;distributed in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;only.

This is not true. I checked the docket sheet and the current status of the case is that Berg filed an opposition to the DNC Motion to Dismiss and also filed a motion to admend his complaint.

The intervenor has a concurrent case in DC. I have downloaded the intervenor's filing and attached it here for your purusal.

Saban, 56, was charged with 85 counts of animal cruelty in an alleged attack which occurred Saturday night in Athens, Georgia. Police said that as many as 92,138 witnesses saw Saban and a large group of violent young men under his control hit, kick, crush and destroy a large pack of mostly-docile bulldogs. One officer was quoted as saying, "I haven't seen dogs treated this badly since the Michael Vick case."&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Unraveling&lt;br /&gt;by Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;October 6, 2008&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Nobody would be happier than I should my assessments of the economy, the dollar, the government, and the future prove to be wrong.  Nobody.  I'm not gleefully reveling at the prospect of a macabre unraveling of my beloved country.  Despite nursing a sluggish mind in my old age, even I am smart enough to know that if you pour water into a container long enough, the container will overflow.  Moreover, when you pour 850 billion metric tons of water into an already-overflowing container, lots of things that aren't supposed to will get wet.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Perhaps I should begin by quoting from a piece I wrote a dozen years ago:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;    "Politicians and governments pursue strategies and policies they believe will keep them in power, and they adopt techniques designed to perpetually increase their power over the people.  By definition, then, they must continually work against the best interests of the people, to weaken the voice of the people and to reduce the people's influence.  Should they do anything that could possibly strengthen the voice of the people, it would necessarily diminish their own power.  In plain words, we mistakenly believe we 'elect' people to represent us and look out for our best interests when, in fact, we willingly send people to legislatures to deliberately screw us." - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Let's begin with the presidential campaigns and the rapidly-approaching election.  Qualifications and ideologies notwithstanding, third party candidates haven't a prayer of being elected.  The lamestream media won't allow them any significant public exposure and, in what little exposure they do permit, they subtly disparage them in every way possible.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;That leaves us with the Democratic and Republican Parties' nominees.  Both of them were selected by "the men behind the curtain" (Rothschilds, Rockefellers and the stockholders of the privately-owned Federal Reserve) and they will control the "winner" as their puppet. Considering what we know about the vulnerability of the no-paper-trail electronic voting machines, it's a good bet the "winner" is already known by the insiders.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The media have all the dirt they need to destroy McCain at will.  Obama operatives and media whores have descended upon Alaska (the "frozen chosen") and have left no stone unturned trying to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin.  The public thus knows far more about her than they know about the media-created Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama (not sure that's his official name).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print"&gt;Make-Believe Maverick - A long read, but very insightful - and scary&lt;br /&gt;http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg, in his own behalf as a registered Democrat voter, has filed suit in federal court challenging the citizenship of Barack Obama, aka Barry Soetero, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham (so if he is elected, maybe we can call him "President What's-his-name"?).  Berg has named the Democratic National Committee and the National Elections Commission as co-defendants.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The case is very interesting, and I must set the record straight regarding some incorrect information I dispatched earlier, not knowing it was flawed.  The suit WAS filed, and Attorney Berg prepared his proposed order for the signature of the judge.  So far as I can tell, the judge did not sign the proposed order.  Instead, the defense filed a lengthy Motion to Dismiss, and Mr. Berg filed his 35-page reply and brief in opposition to the Motion to Dismiss.  If anything has happened subsequent to that, I am not aware of it.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There seems to be a significant body of evidence which puts Obama's citizenship in question, which makes us wonder why this matter wasn't cleared up in advance by the DNC and the FEC.  Exceptionally telling is the basis for their Motion to Dismiss; instead of producing the documents requested, they challenge the court's jurisdiction.  Does that suggest the documents don't exist?  You bet it does.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Documents pertaining to the case are attached (courtesy of well-known Huntsville, Alabama attorney Larry Becraft), as membership to PACER is needed to access them online.  Some of the exhibits Berg filed appear to buttress the claim that Obama is a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0"&gt;Fannie Mae CEO calling Obama and the Dems the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is that it won't really make any difference which one is "elected."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now for today's events, the economy, and the dollar.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Rather than discuss and evaluate today's record plunge in the stock market, the increased demand for gold, and take a stab at what these events portend, it's more productive to understand that what we saw today was carefully PLANNED, and it's just the beginning....the beginning of the end for many Americans.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To properly condition the readers' minds for what WILL occur, not later than March 15, 2009, imagine what would happen if the Supreme Court were to rule tomorrow that all mortgage instruments (promissory notes, security deed notes, etc.) are NULL and VOID, for some obscure legal reason.  Suddenly, without warning, every lending institution which holds mortgages on real property would be left holding the proverbial "bag."  Everyone who owes "money" on their homes, commercial properties, and rental properties would instantly own them free and clear, and their accounts would be marked "paid in full."  Millions of people would have thus "stolen" tens of billions from banks, would they not?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Then imagine what will happen if the reverse occurs....if the dollar is suddenly declared worthless (that's precisely what is planned).  Instantly, every financial holding that is in dollar denomination will be worth NOTHING.  Whether it is in the form of dollar currency, bank cashier's checks, traveler's cheques, money orders, pension plans, 401k plans, checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and so on, it will be gone.  They will all evaporate in the blink of an eye.  The value of what people holding any of these will have will be essentially the same as holding a package of notebook paper in their hands....NOTHING.  The banks that owe you money (your deposits), and those previously obligated to redeem your dollar instruments, will have their "accounts" marked "paid in full."  The banks will have thus "stolen" tens of billions of dollars from the people, will they not?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;E&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnfeBKa4FjE&amp;NR=1"&gt;conomic Collapse - The American Dollar Is Dead - 6 min&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnfeBKa4FjE&amp;NR=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;    The way FDR explained to Americans that the government had stolen $140 billion from them in 1933 following the historical "bank holiday."  In buying power, that was more than a trillion of today's dollars.  Correction, last month's dollars (they're worth much less now).  We've been hearing other versions of the same BS for more than a week.  Before you "gobble it up," count your money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/438.html"&gt;The day Americans went broke - 8 minute audio of FDR's radio address&lt;br /&gt;http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/438.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Why is this important, why has it been planned this way, and who benefits? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Federal Reserve, a privately-owned (non government) cartel of international bankers, has profited tens of TRILLIONS of dollars from indoctrinated (and thus unsuspecting) Americans since the illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act was clandestinely passed in the late-night hours on the eve of Christmas Eve, 1913.  They have defrauded an entire nation for nearly a century.  They have gradually inflated the currency until the 100-cent 1913 dollar has been systematically debased to the current 2-cent 2008 dollar.  With this plan (collapse the dollar and issue the Amero), all their obligations will be miraculously "paid in full."  They can issue the Amero and start over, debt-free.  That's why it was planned, and that's why it will happen.  Obviously, the banking cartel and the very rich will benefit.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For the time being, average folks are temporarily safe IF they have withdrawn their money from banks.  Dollars will stand up for a while, though the $850 billion being pumped into the world economy will result in our paying more for what we buy than we have been accustomed to paying.  When the runs on the banks occur - - and I'm confident they will occur within this week - - people who have their dollars secured elsewhere will be spared for the moment.  But time is short.  That currency should be used to pay off debts, or toward debts, and convert to gold and/or silver, or to buy "things" which can later be sold for Ameros. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gold has gotten scarce these past two-three weeks.  European gold is being retained in Europe just in case the dollar's collapse dominoes to the Euro.  If anyone knows where certified gold and silver are available, please let me know so I can share the info with my lists.  Obviously, not everyone will be able to find and acquire gold and silver.  The next best thing is to put your dollars into valuable assets that cannot be erased by erasing the dollar.  Pay your house and car off, and buy "things."   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that when a bank run starts, the bank doors will close within half a day.  Banks only have enough cash on hand to handle their normal day-to-day transactions.  If a typical small bank's daily transactions run, say, $40,000 to $50,000, then it would be able to handle your withdrawing $60,000 in cash from your savings account.  They could give you a cashier's check, but where would you cash it, considering that other banks operate the same way?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What will be the impact on the economy where you live?  Businesses which cannot get loans to keep their operations afloat will have to close or at least lay off some employees and cut back production and services.  People laid off will still have bills to pay but won't have incomes.  Look for businesses to stop accepting credit cards and even debit cards (fearing the bank might fail before they get their money).  Crime will go through the roof.  Many people who need (or want) but do not "have," will resort to stealing.  That means muggings, home burglaries, robbing small businesses, etc.  If you have anything outside at home that people can steal and sell, please secure it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I'll write more later.  I get sick every time I start writing about this and considering the chaos that will result.  Three things in particular make me deathly ill.  First, the 100-year plundering and pillaging of the American people the U.S. Government has helped the ruthless, godless money vultures steal from us makes me sick.  Secondly, watching the steady stream of lies I see coming from straight faces in the media, and the politicians they broadcast, makes me sick.  And thirdly, just knowing how uninformed, brainwashed and gullible the vast majority of the American people are makes me sick.  See you next time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.collegerecruit.tv/?q=node/38"&gt;THE AMERO vs. THE DOLLAR - Pictures of the coin&lt;br /&gt;http://www.collegerecruit.tv/?q=node/38&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkLpJUiHUA4"&gt;US Dollar to collapse and be replaced with the AMERO after martial law - 10 min - Hal Turner&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkLpJUiHUA4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98"&gt;The Amero - North American Currency - 2 min&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T74VA3xU0EA&amp;eurl=http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/ 87489/North_American_ Union_Amero_Dollar_No_More_USA"&gt;NORTH AMERICAN UNION and the AMERO - The End of the United States and the Dollar - 4 min&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T74VA3xU0EA&amp;eurl=http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/ 87489/North_American_ Union_Amero_Dollar_No_More_USA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnsY2y-TCh0&amp;NR=1"&gt;Future Planned Economic Crash and Martial Law 2008 &amp; 2009 - 10 min.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnsY2y-TCh0&amp;NR=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNKMlhj4ARY&amp;NR=1"&gt;U.S./ Foreign Troops Gearing Up for Martial Law In America - 10 min&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNKMlhj4ARY&amp;NR=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4c808-MJtM&amp;NR=1"&gt;Economic Collapse and Rise of the Police State - 10 min&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4c808-MJtM&amp;NR=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright October 2008&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;disseminated in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;only.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.  He further announced that he would now buy at $20.  This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.  The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of  monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 ! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the man's absence, the assistant told the villagers 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected.  I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for $35 each. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again.  They had the monkeys, and the man had their money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market and the government work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-9186934075943994955?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/9186934075943994955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=9186934075943994955' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/9186934075943994955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/9186934075943994955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2008/10/unraveling-close-up.html' title='The Unraveling - Close up!'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-2989101090991761564</id><published>2008-10-06T05:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T05:40:35.122-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fred marshall truth light constitution declaration of independence martial law republic order ron paul bailout'/><title type='text'>Irrefutable, Incontrovertible Proof</title><content type='html'>by Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;October 5, 2008&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5ive minutes are left in the 4th Quarter.  The eleven Banksters have the ball on the People's 10-yard line, where two defensive tackles scratch their heads and wonder how the two of them can possibly stop the onslaught of the next down, with their other nine players sitting on the sidelines cheering them on.  The score is already 84 to 0, reflecting a dozen earlier Bankster touchdowns and extra points, all scored with most of the People's team sitting on the sidelines, cheering, waving flags and chanting "YOU gotta BELIEVE!"  The only offensive players who have been on the field for the People, throughout the entire afternoon, are the quarterback and the center.  It's no wonder, then, that the People's team has not completed a single pass nor has it advanced the ball to midfield since the contest began.  Still, the "spectating" team members show no sign of losing faith in the helpless tackles.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;One tackle signals the referee and burns the People's next-to-last time out.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While the tackles plead with the coach to help them get the rest of the team on the field for what may be the People's last chance to stall the Bankster's advance, let's look at some of the landscape visible within the stadium.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Up in the high-altitude cheap seats, US District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick, the federal magistrate for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in the matter of Philip J. Berg vs Barack Hussein Obama, had ruled on September 29, 2008, that defendant Obama must produce three specific documents to prove he is a natural born citizen of the United States, and gave him three days to produce them.  That was six days ago.  The rest of us dummies think that proof would have been one of the requirements for initial registration in the presidential primaries.

If that's true, then Obama is not eligible to become President of the United States, even if he garners sufficient electoral votes.  Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 6 of the Constitution *FOR the United States of America is uncompromising on this point:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;    "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of the President;..."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;    *See the Preamble to the Constitution&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Telling is the fact that the mainstream media (controlled by only six people, all minions of the Federal Reserve) have chosen to ignore, or suppress, this vitally important court action.  Why isn't this NEWS?  Have the men behind the curtain chosen Obama to succeed Bush as their lead American puppet?  The way they have collectively portrayed him as the Messiah these past weeks would lead observers to suspect, if not conclude, that the "fix is in."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Down closer to the playing field, enconsced in the more prestigious box seats, are key members of the House and Senate who shepherded the bailout bill - - the one that miraculously swelled from three pages to 442 pages in less than a week - - through the Congress and right past the half-closed eyes of 300 million yawning Americans. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They're laughing and joking about all the provisions they were able to add to the bill to fund totally unrelated projects, such as aid, assistance and/or subsidies for wind power, solar power, college students, teachers, disaster victims, NASCAR racetrack owners, film producers, bicycle commuters, makers of Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum, owners of plug-in electric vehicles, investors in American Samoa, mine rescuers, worsted wool fabric producers, Alaskan fishermen, makers of wooden arrows, and more. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u65V6ATo4rM"&gt;"Pork" in the Bail Out Bill, Plus Ron Paul Thoughts on It All&lt;br /&gt;http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u65V6ATo4rM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They also discuss their own security and their plans for moving to the underground bunker city the generous taxpayers spent half a trillion dollars to build for them and their families, to insure "continuity of government" when the collapse comes.  Taxpayers who don't yet feel raped should consider that a monumental conspiratorial criminal enterprise has used our money to provide for their own safety, knowing full well the time will come when the rest of us will be left above ground to starve and perish while they live in comfort on our money.  Need a barf bag yet?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Though much in the voluminous bailout bill is yet to be discovered by searchers and revealed to the public, we know of some things already.  New York's senior Senator, Charles Schumer, one of the premier actors in the feature "show," promised a few days ago:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "We will not Christmas-tree this bill.  The times are too urgent. Everyone has their own desires and needs. It's going to have to wait."&lt;br /&gt;In the words of one report, the beltway label (Christmas tree) that's been placed on the bill would more appropriately be the "slop bucket" bill.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10057618-38.html"&gt;Bailout bill loops in green tech, IRS snooping&lt;br /&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10057618-38.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The bill vastly expands the powers (note I didn't say "authority") of the IRS to conduct sting and undercover entrapment operations.  For example, they can open up accounting firms, with agents posing as CPAs, and coax taxpayers to claim unauthorized deductions and then prosecute them for "cheating" the government out of its "due.".  Moreover, the bill gives the IRS and its employees immunity from prosecution under several already-existing laws.  The more of us the IRS can put in jail, the more the vultures love it.  And the more they are immune to prosecution, the more motivated they become to go after more people, guilt and innocence notwithstanding.  They have POWER and they have always been POWER HUNGRY, with most of them - - not all - - hypnotized by POWER.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Back to the game.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The two tackles represent the thousands of people who have been sounding the alarm, at the top of their lungs, for the past fifteen-plus years that the financial collapse is coming.  Among them has been Texas Representative Ron Paul, who ran in the primaries for the Republican nomination but was thrown in the dungeon, out of sight and out of mind, by the media (on orders from behind the curtain).  They couldn't afford to give media exposure to an honest man who understands the problems and knows specifically how to fix them.  Publicizing information of that nature would expose some of the criminal ventures which brought us to this place.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Banksters' team represents the men behind the curtain, the banking industry, all branches of the federal government, and the mainstream media (including radio, television, movie, music, publishing, and the entertainment industries).  All of them are arrayed against the People.  Make no mistake about that.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;People 25 and younger cannot remember when the President's name wasn't either Bush or Clinton.  The Bush-Clinton-Bush 20-year dynasty was deliberately put in place to do precisely what they have done;  open up our borders, dilute the population with foreigners thus depressing labor costs, destroy our ability to be self-sufficient by exporting jobs and our manufacturing base, increase our dependence on foreign oil and other products, enact free-trade agreements and treaties with foreign nations (NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, FTAA, etc.), debase the currency and plague the nation with runaway inflation by engaging in perpetual war and printing endless supplies of "funny money," tighten controls over the people and finish destroying the Constitution (U.S.A. Patriot Acts I and II), build concentration camps sufficient to house 10% of us (that's the percentage they expect to resist the takeover), and prepare us to submit obediently to the New World Order they've been planning for more than 75 years.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What happens beginning tomorrow, and in the coming weeks and months, will be interesting to watch, though it will be painful to endure.  More banks will fail and, at some point, there will be massive runs on banks like not seen since the bank panic of 1907 and those leading to the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Increasing FDICs coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 is a ruse intended to entice depositors not to touch their money yet.  Since FDIC cannot cover the $100,000, they could have just as easily increased coverage to a million dollars, for all that propaganda's worth.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many of those who are not prepared will perish.  Some who aren't prepared will survive because compassionate friends, neighbors and families will close the gap and protect and feed them.  When it's all over, everyone will understand the concept of "survival of the fittest." &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Armed robberies of businesses and residences have increased dramatically over the past week.  People who don't have firearms (and know how to use them) are, and will continue to be, prime targets.  People will die.  Dead men tell no tales, and robbers will take that into consideration.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The "it can't happen here" myth will end up wiping out tens of millions.  Gold is certain to pass $2,000 per troy ounce.  It is already as scarce as hen's teeth.  Europe has closed ranks in refusing to export any of its gold to the U.S., because they need to preserve theirs in case our collapse dominoes to them, which is likely.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sadly, most people haven't a clue what is happening now, and will be totally surprised and devastated when things begin to unravel and really get tough.  Whether this infusion of tons of monopoly money will delay the collapse a week, a month or four months remains to be seen, but I give it four months, tops, and it could very well begin before the coming week is out.  If we make it to Inauguration Day (January 20, 2009), it will be nothing less than a miracle.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If Bush doesn't declare martial law, suspend elections, and remain president, then Obama will be the next president.  He's a Muslim for certain, and he's likely not a natural born citizen, but he has the media protecting him. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXiwrgPVggU"&gt;ELECTION SCAM WORLD WAR 3 DOOMSDAY PROPHECY!!!!&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXiwrgPVggU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They are perfectly capable of destroying McCain, and they will if he doesn't destroy himself first.  They have more than enough dirt to do the deed when and if the word comes from behind the curtain, including his Keating 5ive involvement and his traitorous conduct while in captivity in Hanoi.  They have it all.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAzDEbVFcg8"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain's Keating Five Problem In 97 Seconds&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAzDEbVFcg8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The "proof" tickler in my title refers to the Obama citizenship matter.  If he doesn't produce convincing and verifiable documentation of live birth in the United States, and if he is elected without it and without it being covered thoroughly by the media, that will constitute irrefutable and incontrovertible proof that there is no Constitution, though the U.S.A. Patriot Acts should have convinced everyone of that already.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright October 2008&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and distributed in its entirety only.

What we're doing is postponing our plans to crash the economy for a while, at least until after the elections.  In the meantime, we can steal a lot more money from you by pumping an ungodly amount of worthless currency into the market (super inflation) and drive prices up very rapidly.  We know many of you won't be able to make it when gasoline hits $8 and things you've been paying $5 for very quickly jump to $9 or $10. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many of you will starve, especially you old folks who are already eating dog food and are unable to refill your prescriptions.  Some of you will just go ahead and commit suicide to keep from facing the agony of starvation.  Strokes and heart attacks are relatively painless, when you look at if from our perspective.  Crime will skyrocket as hungry people and drug addicts mug, rob, and burgle homes and neighborhoods in a new and burgeoning crime wave.  That will give us justification for passing more invasive, even inhumane law enforcement measures so we can field test some of our new technology that's more ruthless than tasers. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;That will give our Ostopo (formerly Gestapo, named after George) and military forces valuable practice in preparation for the martial law we'll need to control crowds and insurgents while we implement the new North American Union merger next year and launch our new sound money system we're so proud of, the Amero.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We'll be moving with our families underground to our "continuity of government" bunker city where we'll have all the modern and futuristic comforts and live in total security, free from all your bloody faxes, phone calls and emails.  You simpletons still think we're here because you voted us here, but we've been controlling the vote tallies electronically for many years.  As long as you just THINK you can throw us out, we haven't a care in the world.  We'll keep our pay and benefits elevated, and will increase them to allow for the inflation we're heaping on all of you.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, please keep watching our propaganda on regular and cable television, and check in on C-SPAN from time to time to see our show designed to make you think there are two opposing teams here looking out for you.

What is "ownership?"  What do you "own?"  Or do you own anything?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you own something, it is yours to do with as you choose.  You are free to give it away, to sell it, to bury it, to burn it, to let it ruin, rot or rust, or to use it.  If there is ANY restriction on those rights, then you don't really own it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you own a lawn mower, you can give it to me, you can sell it to me, you can leave it in the back yard to rust, you can even bury it in the back yard, or you can protect and maintain it, fill it with gas and oil and mow your lawn with it.  However, you cannot BURN it if you live within the city limits.  With that single exception, it's yours, you own it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But if there is an ordinance in your town that prohibits running lawn mowers on Sunday mornings, then your ownership of the lawn mower is conditioned upon your not using it on Sunday mornings.  If you violate that ordinance, the city may fine you or confiscate the mower as their ways of forcing your compliance with their laws.  You know, the ones that are for "your own good."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How about the money you call yours?  Is it really yours?  Do you own it?  Hardly and hardly.  If you have it in a CD, then you can't withdraw it until its maturity date without surrendering a portion of it, but that's a self-imposed restriction because you pre-agreed to let the bank use your money for a specified period of time.  If you opt to withdraw $10,000 or more in cash, from any account, then it's conditioned upon the bank's submission of an SAR form to the IRS.  That's a "Suspicious Activity Report" of a currency transaction.  That you want to use your own money is decreed, by law, to be a "suspicious activity."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you decide to take, say, $6,000 or $8,000 in cash to go and enjoy a nice holiday week in Vegas or Atlantic City, they can detect the cash money on your person with monitors in the airline terminal and arrest you and call it drug money.  After all, they assert, no one carries that much cash around with them unless he/she got it illegally.  Some of the money you have will have trace amounts of cocaine on it, enough to be detectible by drug dogs and special lamps they use to find blood, drugs, etc., that isn't visible to the naked eye.  The government embedded the bills with cocaine in order to always give them a reason to arrest you whenever they so choose.  By employing such tactics and laws, those who control the money and currency are saying indelibly to the public, "Use our banks and pay us our interest or we'll put you in jail."   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I know a man who doesn't use banks in any way, shape or form.  He hates them.  He recently bought a car at a public auction for $1,500 and promptly sold it for $3,500.  He was paid by check.  He went with his brother to his brother's bank, endorsed the check to his brother and his brother told the teller he wanted the money in cash.  She had to go get the head teller who told the two men they don't like to give out that much cash to individuals because they could get mugged, robbed, and even killed.  "What do you plan to do with that much money in cash?" asked the head teller of the account holder.  "None of your business, give me my money," answered the man.  He got his money of course, but whose money was it, anyway?  What rights did the bank employee have to even ask?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I know another recent case where an account holder notified his bank on a Monday that he would be coming in Tuesday to withdraw $50,000 in $100 bills the following day.  He feared his bank might join the gaggle of failing banks, though he didn't tell the bank that.  It took him two and a half hours Tuesday to get the cash money and then they gave it to him in $20 bills, claiming they needed their $100s for the normal first of the month business.  They offered to let him put the money into a safety deposit box ($120 box fee) until they could order the $100s on Friday, which would get delivered by armored car the following Tuesday.  Because of the bulk involved with that many $20s, he had little choice.  Even to move the money from the teller to the deposit box, he had to sign a form in which the bank strongly advised him against withdrawing large sums in cash and in which he agreed to hold the bank harmless in the event he was robbed inside the bank or on bank property.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, his safety deposit box contract not only holds the bank harmless for the contents, he also had to waive his right to sue or have to a jury trial in the event of any complaint or dispute with the bank concerning the box.  Any dispute or claim has to be handled by arbitration under state arbitration rules and procedures.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After considering all the above, then it's instructive to read the following about laws recently enacted (you heard about this already, it was all over the news....wasn't it?) which provide for taking and taxing your money if you decide to surrender your citizenship and leave the country, or give up your green-card residency and go back home.  I thought the Iron Curtain was something we poo-pooed when Russians had to defect and climb guarded walls to get OUT of their country.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's a Free Country - Till You Try to Leave It&lt;br /&gt;http://etresoi.ch/Denis/bondage.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While you are inside the United States, if you are a natural-born citizen or legal immigrant, you are a "U.S. Person."  The limited "rights" accorded a U.S. Person are the same for all within that category.  You are not a "U.S. Citizen" unless you leave the United States with a valid passport, you know, certified written permission (my mom used to call them "kitchen passes" when she issued them to me) of the United States Government to temporarily leave their walled-in-but-not-walled-out gulag for a specific purpose for a specified period of time.  While you are gone, you ARE a United States Citizen.  When you return, you resume being a U.S. Person, with rights equal to those of green-card holders and any other U.S. Person.  You've come a long way, Baby. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Of course most readers didn't know they are no longer U.S. Citizens.  But they shouldn't be alarmed, it's a voluntary status they have contracted to adopt.  They may not be consciously aware that they have, but everyone has already made the conversion if (s)he has opened a new bank account, or modified an existing one, since 2001.  Those innocent-looking forms they signed contained their contracts.  Even the signature cards contain it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Think you own your car?  Try not renewing your registration and just parking the car in your back yard.  See how long it takes for the state to come and tow THEIR car away.  Yes, they hold the title to it, all you have is an ABSTRACT of the title.  The car is THEIRS, not yours.  You have the rights to USE it so long as you obey their rules, and you have the rights to drive it so long as you have met their requirements for licensing as an operator.  The same is true of your home, and any real property you might "own."  Try not paying the property taxes and see how long it takes them to auction off "your" property to the highest bidder.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When folks can no longer own property free and clear, then there can be no semblance of "freedom," there's only the ILLUSION of freedom because you can still drive from city to city without specific permission from government.  But those days and times are drawing to a close as well.  As long as things such as these are done inconspicuously, and gradually so we can adjust, most people neither notice nor care.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Welcome to U.S.S.I., the United Socialist States of Illusion.  You are being watched and monitored.  Get used to it.  Or leave.  It'll cost you either way.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Copyright October 2008&lt;br /&gt;Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt;May be reproduced and&lt;br /&gt;distributed in its entirety&lt;br /&gt;only.

Here was my initial response and follow-on.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Prices will skyrocket, partially because the market will be flooded with the new worthless money and partially because of the fear an uncertain future engenders, gasoline will be rationed, checkpoints will be everywhere, you'll be asked where you are going and why, and you'll be manhandled if you even hesitate with your answers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Shelves in stores will be stripped bare overnight.  People will be siphoning gasoline from your cars, breaking into them and taking everything of value.  Stores will raise prices on their own to try and accumulate as much cash as possible for themselves before the final collapse comes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Drug addicts will break into pharmacies when their supply sources dry up or their source of money dries up, and that will lead to muggings, home burglaries, killings, etc.  People who cannot get their legitimate prescription medications will suffer and some will die (heart medications, etc.).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Women will be raped left and right.  Crime will be so rampant the law enforcement agencies won't be able to make a dent in it.  Some officers will throw their hands up while others will shoot first and ask questions later.  Others won't show up for work but will stay home to protect their own families.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Military forces, both ours and foreign forces, will be used to confiscate registered firearms and some will be shot by citizens who resist, opening the door for "shoot on sight" orders being given to them, and that's when martial law will be declared, if not before. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And that's just the surface things to expect.  Martial law will be the first major government move and gradually everything will be controlled by and rationed by the government.  Once martial law has re-established order, there'll be massive installing of in-body micro-chip insertions, "for our protection," and master computers will track everything we do.  People will welcome the chips believing they will be safer.  It's amazing what people will accept in exchange for promised safety.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1984 is in sight.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Neighborhoods will have to organize and provide their own protection from roaming gangs and government agencies determined to disarm and control the people.  24/7 patrols by armed community members will be essential.  Self defense and survival will be the order of the day.  If you can defend your own family, then that's the best approach.  If you can't stay awake around the clock and don't have relatives to trade off with, then it'll be necessary to team up with one or two other families and provide for common defense.  Try to select a family or families who are prepared and have plenty of food and firearms and ammunition on hand.  If you have to partner up with a family you must arm and feed, then you diminish your own ability to survive.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;F&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How will things differ from 1929?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Lots of differences between now and 1929.  People didn't owe much back then.  Credit wasn't as prevalent, most people waited till they saved up and could buy what they wanted with cash.  There were hardly any drug addicts.  People were simpler and had been taught from birth the importance of working for what they wanted.  They were taught to have a conscience and right versus wrong was an ingrained standard with nearly everyone.  So the crime back then was manageable, but it won't be this time. Lots of people today have been taught that right and wrong don't matter, what they WANT does matter.  Too many nowadays feel "entitled" to certain things and if they don't get them legally, they'll take them by force.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Plus there were about 80 million people back then, most living in rural areas.  Now there are 300-plus million and they are mostly concentrated in metropolitan areas and smaller cities.  People back then owned property and could raise their own crops, so starving wasn't nearly the threat it is now.  People today don't know how to change a tire, let alone till the ground and plant and cultivate seeds.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Back then it was possible to hunt rabbits and squirrels and wild geese and deer for food.  Now, with the numbers of people, after a week there will be no rabbits, deer, etc., they will have all been killed for food.  The endangered species crowd will go ape-shit.  They'd rather see people die than rabbits.  They'll change their tune when they get hungry enough.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many people who have prepared will survive, but many will starve.  That's the way governments have thinned out populations throughout history.  Stalin starved 20 million.  Don't think this hasn't been well planned for years by the elite who seek to rule us all with their iron fist.  People who have plenty of basic staples such as flour, rice, pasta, olive or other cooking oil, etc., won't go hungry but millions who haven't paid attention will starve.  But before they starve, many will kill in their attempts to survive.  Anyone who isn't ready to deal with that won't make it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;F&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;P.S.  I'll do another installment in a couple of days when I get a few last minute details handled for my own family.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-3395524870035069076?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/3395524870035069076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=3395524870035069076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/3395524870035069076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/3395524870035069076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-will-happen.html' title='What will happen?'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-5662828280527797651</id><published>2008-09-29T20:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T20:21:24.108-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fred marshall truth light constitution declaration of independence martial law republic order ron paul bailout'/><title type='text'>Iron fist control of the Internet</title><content type='html'>Anyone who thinks &amp;#39;they&amp;#39; aren&amp;#39;t controlling the Internet, see how many places this 10-minute video was posted and they&amp;#39;re ALL gone now, in just a matter of hours.

It was the sixth time executive session has been used in the history of the House, but the FIRST time such a session was used to discuss proposed secret legislation.  The main subject was 'Preparation for the declaration of martial law,' and the nine specific topics under discussion were as follows:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1.  The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008.&lt;br /&gt;2.  The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid-2009.&lt;br /&gt;3.  The possibility of civil war inside the U.S. as a result of the financial collapse.&lt;br /&gt;4.  The advance roundup of 'insurgent' U.S. citizens 'likely' to move against the government.&lt;br /&gt;5.  The detention of those rounded up at REX 84 camps already constructed throughout the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;6.  The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapse&lt;br /&gt;7.  The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest.&lt;br /&gt;8.  The necessary and unavoidable merger of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, establishing the North American Union, and&lt;br /&gt;9.  The issuance of a new currency, called the AMERO, for all three nations as an economic solution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I previously sent a link showing a member of the house reading the title and purpose of a bill in which he said "classified" about 50 times.  Listeners couldn't make heads nor tails of anything he read.  At the moment I cannot find that video clip/link.  I suppose most Americans won't believe shit until there is a monumental pile in their front yards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Secret Meeting - Martial Law - US Government&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/seMvr7t8GwA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/seMvr7t8GwA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Anyone who thinks "they" aren't controlling the Internet, see how many places this 10-minute video was posted and they're ALL gone now, in just a matter of hours.

We see on the Internet only those things "they" allow us to see.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;ie=ISO-8859-1&amp;q=Video+-+Burning+down+the+house+-+What+caused+our+economic+crisis%3F&amp;btnG=Search"&gt;Burning down the house - What caused our economic crisis? - Google Search&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=" http://www.jonathanselby.com/camps.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US Detainment-Consentration Camps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2482185820904727552-8298238020599663677?l=lightfromfred.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/feeds/8298238020599663677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2482185820904727552&amp;postID=8298238020599663677' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/8298238020599663677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2482185820904727552/posts/default/8298238020599663677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lightfromfred.blogspot.com/2008/09/thisll-knock-your-socks-offleaked-by.html' title='This&apos;ll knock your socks off...leaked by a member of Congress'/><author><name>The Freedom Fellowship</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11788272213603576761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O2pajSIi_Uw/SbfQKCqrxPI/AAAAAAAAKIA/HFE_Vth-js8/S220/twitterlighthouse3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482185820904727552.post-6824554135539436492</id><published>2008-09-29T18:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T18:25:51.224-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fred marshall truth light constitution declaration of independence martial law republic order ron paul bailout'/><title type='text'>Getting Closer To The Basement</title><content type='html'>"How many steps must we take down the basement stairs before we realize we are going to end up in the basement?" - Fred Marshall Jr.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All yesterday I heard about a "bipartisan effort" in Congress though it was, in effect, a single party operation, with only a handful of traitors permitted from the opposition party.  All day today I've heard about those nasty Republicans and Democrats (finger pointing). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIhHWXek574"&gt;2-minute C-SPAN video - Martial Law Declared In US Congress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vIhHWXek574&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vIhHWXek574&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There are free market solutions ladies and gentlemen, that will let the market sort things out by punishing the irresponsible and not punishing the producers and risk-takers.  The worst solutions are government takeover and socialization of the marketplace the administration is proposing and the Congressional majority is pushing. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If this bailout occurs, to any degree, then we may as well live in U.S.S.R., because we shall surely live in United Socialist States of America.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind - - and I know memories are short - - what happened with the S &amp; L bailout....they initially said it would cost $10 billion, then a couple of weeks later they said it might reach $25 billion, and the final tally was closer to $500 billion.  Can you imagine how that dynamic would work with an initial estimate of $700 billion?  What is 50 times $700 billion?  $35 TRILLION?  Pretty soon we're going to be talking about some real money here.  Hell, with $700 billion, they could give $425,000 to every citizen in the United States age 18 and older.  Reckon some of them might then pay off their mortgages and solve the problem?  No, that won't work because people working in everyday jobs in the service sector would quit their jobs on the spot, and the economy would surely collapse.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What these people are proposing is not taking money from the taxpayer and giving it to the banking industry, no, they propose to create $700 billion out of thin air and give it to the bankers to pump into the economy.  Then very soon a loaf of bread will cost $5 and a gallon of gasoline will cost $9.  That wouldn't be so bad for someone earning $2,000 a week, but let me see a show of hands of all who are earning that much.  That's what I thought, not many.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All that worthless currency will flood the market, prices in dollars will rise to the point where people can't carry enough cash on their persons to get through a normal day, and that makes progress towards the cashless society they seek, in which all transactions must be executed electronically and the bankers and the government know how and where every dime is spent (dimes will soon replace the pennies).  I saw it in the late 1950s in France, when a briefcase full of paper French francs was worth about 50 U.S. dollars.  It took ten minutes to count out enough money to buy a pack of chewing gum.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In the end, a huge chunk of mortgaged real estate will wind up in the hands of the banks and they will have gotten this huge windfall of free money AND they will have a lot of our foreclosed property as well.  In the end, the money WILL come from the PEOPLE, and it will all go to the BANKSTERS along with the millions of acres of real estate they will then own.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I still maintain that 88% of Americans are functionally stupid.  They don't know squat and most of them don't want to know.  I listened today on C-SPAN to Obama speaking in Colorado and was amazed at how so many people could so stupidly cheer such unmitigated bullshit spewing out of his mouth.  I hear similar crap coming out of McCain's mouth.  With four candidates on the two tickets, not a single one has a prayer at being a competent president yet, for the first time in memory, both VP candidates are more competent than the heads of their tickets.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the federal government grows, Homeland Security grows, FEMA grows, all dangerously.  This country hasn't a prayer in avoiding being transformed to a Socialist society.  Like Germans in the 1930s, only a very few saw it coming.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Politicians put us in this position, Democrats and Republicans alike.  In the 90s the Congress and the Executive Branch forced lenders to make loans to borrowers who were not creditworthy but who were identified by the Presidential administration as "needing" homes (what was "needed" was Democratic votes for his re-election).  Janet Reno threatened heavy federal fines for lending institutions which rejected loan applications from such people....minorities, underprivileged, etc.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The bad loans that were made continued well into this current administration, with its continued encouragement.  The solution is to let the institutions which made the bad loans fail, and allow the borrowers who bought homes they could not afford to go into foreclosure.  The market will sort all that out on its own.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;One member of Congress described the proposed bailout bill as a "mud sandwich."  He was 100% correct in that regard.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~ &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A national emergency can be anything a president "deems" it is.  What is "deems?"  Is that sort of like "divining," or "playing a hunch?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl1VIhdpl4c&amp;feature=related"&gt;What most don't know, or chose to ignore - 5 min&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jl1VIhdpl4c&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jl1VIhdpl4c&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Parallels between 1933 and 2008 are rapidly accelerating..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1) Publication of "Mein Kampf" and publication of "Project For a New American Century"&lt;br /&gt;2) Reign of the 3rd Reich and reign of the 43rd U.S. Presidential Administration&lt;br /&gt;3) Hitler's burning of his own parliament, and the U.S. Government's 9-11 attack on its own people&lt;br /&gt;4) Austria (Anschluss)-Czechoslovakia (Munich Agreement)-Poland/Afghanistan-Iraq-Iran&lt;br /&gt;5) Passage of Hitler's Enabling Act and passage of the nearly identical U.S.S.A.
