How Does the 1 percent Control the 99 percent?

March 1, 2010 by  

How Does the 1 percent Control the 99 percent?

“It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion whatever the state needs to do.”—Joseph Goebbels

We cannot understand modern despotism and police power unless we understand modern money.

Modern money in the United States and the whole world is fiat paper money and credit. It is under the total control of government (and the bankers).

This means that all government funding is with fiat counterfeit paper that is created in unlimited amounts and costs the government nothing. But it transfers wealth and savings of the people to the money creators and government through the depreciation of the currency. The American people have no understanding of how the government gets everything literally for nothing. It is the source of all government power. The control of free and unlimited funding with created money in unlimited amounts guarantees the power and control of the 1 percent over the 99 percent.

The American people are taught voodoo economics. They have absolutely no understanding of reality.

So how does the 1 percent control the 99 percent? By gross deception at all levels:

  • By controlling all news media, printed and live.
  • By controlling all newscasters.
  • By controlling public education from start to finish.
  • By controlling the “healthcare” system. The public is kept sick by mass vaccinations.
  • Through fear campaigns:
    1. Fear of disease to manipulate people to take mass vaccinations.
    2. Fear of financial collapse for an excuse to increase fiat, diluting the purchasing power of the currency and destroying dollar assets of savers.
    3. Fear of bogey-man enemies. Example: Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction.”
    4. Fear through war propaganda that is waged by the military industrial complex. The words democracy and patriotism are heavy words used repeatedly. Perpetual war is possible because of unlimited access to funding with fiat paper money.
  • Income tax controls the population by forcing “voluntary” disclosure of personal information.
  • Information about the people is typical and necessary to tyranny. Fear of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is awesome.
  • Government at all levels promotes the state over the individual person. Personal freedom is the enemy of the state. In all things the state promotes the collective man and the collective mind.
  • The virtue of individualism always gives way to group dynamics through the group psychosis of altruism. The state can manipulate the crowd far easier than the individual.
  • The bigger bureaucratic government is, the more it fears the people. The government has to control the population in order to control the government.

Only the power of propaganda keeps the people from overthrowing the government by force.

Also, government (the 1 percent) holds the police power and the military power, the main purpose of which is the silent force to contain the population. Even though the population in the U.S. is armed, there is no general awareness that government is enemy No. 1.

Toward the last days of a fiat regime, confidence in government accelerates on the downside and the risk of armed violence escalates. Hence, stepped-up oppression of the government against the people.

Gold rises and is hoarded. Controls at all levels are intensified with the strategy that the bigger counter-force will prevail. Government bets that its own police and military will not mutiny.

Pensions and pay loom large in the collective mind of Federal police and armed forces. None realize that their pensions in fiat will be worthless.

Modern propaganda in America hides behind and is passed off as science and research.

In the last days the people begin to realize that their “elected” representatives are really employees of the Federal Government. Modern government, especially the U.S. government, operates above the threshold of the intelligence of the people. The people are controlled because they can’t discern between hocus-pocus and reality.

The fiat paper money mentality is something for nothing and the government obliges with bread and circus. The population is unaware that they are unaware. Criminal government is recognized when the rule of law breaks down, as now.

The control by the 1 percent of the 99 percent can be summed up in two words: “Psychological warfare.”

    I read years ago how there are people who are involved in the control of the American people it started in the 1890′s when bankers thought of how to steal the federal bank now the federal reserve bank owned operated by criminals world wide, we need to force the government to nationalize the reserve, which won’t happen, but a depression is more likely, and that will be to the detriment to the government, tar and feathers anyone?

  • Dennis

    No offense, but as I’ve studied history every country that has gone to shit is because people have forgotten who GOD is. Stop letting all these evolutionists and scientists who are communist tools feed you a bunch of lies and maybe GOD will be back on our side. Im not saying any of you believe in this crap but alot of Americans do and its beieng shoved down your kids throats at schools like it was mine in school. Luckily for me I didn’t like to conform.

      amen brother!!!

    • DaveH

      Dennis,
      Acceptance of basic morality does not cease to exist because somebody doesn’t believe there is a God.
      If you insist on pushing religion on others, you are just going to undermine the efforts of those of us who want to get our Freedom back.
      I’m talking about Freedom for all of us, not just the Religious people.

  • Marc

    Of course if this ‘control’ existed as stated….this website would not exist and it’s owners would ‘disappear’. It’s amazing what people will say to sell some bogus merchandise.

    • http://www.kjnf.net Jim Fridas

      read your history!! Its called the bolonga sausage syndrum, one slice at a time then hello comrade!!!

    • Time

      MARC,
      You still have some very basic threads of freedom, the Internet is still not 100% controlled.
      But if you start looking into it, there are laws that our stellar Politicans want to bring about that will end the internet as you now know it now.

      Perhaps some of the members who know of the FCC’s impending works can show you.
      Keep your mind open dude.

      • DaveH

        It’s called Net Neutrality for those who wish to study the efforts of the Government to control the Internet. The FCC is currently making an effort to mess with the Internet using this approach. Funny how they are coming to our aid for a problem that doesn’t exist.

      • usmadgirl

        Time,

        I’m sure you’ve seen some of the videos on Mark Lloyd, FCC Diversity Czar (that the WH is saying is not a Czar); so this is not necessarily for you, but just wanted to post the proof of what you & some others are saying on this board.

        The one below is just one of many, but this one I hadn’t seen until yesterday. It’s so boring that I almost cried & started to hyperventillate, but other videos show him praising Hugo Chavez & how he shut down the media in Venezuela. The best one is the one that Glenn showed on his show, but I know some think that “our only source of truth” is a “fear monger”.

        US Mad Girl, thanks for posting the links, many may learn a tad.

    • J C

      They’re working on it Marc. The idea is to sleep walk us into total slavery. They can’t do that with “drastic” moves. The sheep might actually lift their heads and notice…

  • Jim G

    The 1% mentioned in this publication is correct but much of the rest is misguided and creates fear, much like Mr. Livingston accuses the government of doing.

    Being well informed and challenging your representative is essential. If they have been in office for multiple terms one can be assured they have had to raise money to get reelected or special interests have found your representation uncooperative and helped unseat him or her.

    Money and lobbyist factor into most legislation and that usually is not in the public interest and that is true in both parties. Special interests also control the appointed and elected representative in the courts. Has the ship already sailed?

    The position that everything the government does is designed to control the population is not factually based but instead is playing on irrational fear.

    • Time

      Jim,
      For the record can you point out any case laws that would sustain your point?

      Fear, Hell yes the people of this country should be very afraid, we don’t have leaders we have “CON ARTIST and Mobsters” who are running this country. Look up the histroy of Argentina start in 1916 that follow all the same programs we have now from FDR and what Barry’s wants to bring into law.
      If your not in FEAR after that then your not alive.

      • usmadgirl

        Time,

        You have a big “Amen” from me!

    • Norm

      Jim G
      Agreed. The real danger is from these kooks screaming “revolution” and “impeachment”. If you dislike the government, in a democracy, you have a vote like everyone else.

      • JeffH

        Normy, that vote has started already!

      • DaveH

        No, the real danger is from the uninformed sheeple.
        Especially dangerous are the ones who offer very few facts in their comments and lots of personal attacks. I would bet that most of those are somehow feeding from the trough (Government employees, welfare recipients, etc.).
        There is no excuse in this age of the Internet not to become aware of reality.

      • DaveH

        It is amazing how many people think stealing the money of others is Okay as long as there is a majority consensus. Somehow there is a certain threshold of the gang size that magically transforms theft to charity:

        This country IS NOT a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic.

      • George E.

        Thank you.

      • J C

        Democracy simply does not work, voting has become a total waste of time, and it will change nothing. Unfortunately right now it is the only option we have short of a rather large White House BBQ.
        I don’t advocate violence, but like most I’m certainy aware of the uselessness of voting, it won’t cure the cancer that is our political system. So what to do? At what point do we collectively acknowledge that they have crossed the last line we’re going to let them cross?

  • http://bwmelton@atmc.net B Wayne Melton

    The above comments are very to the point. Unfortionately, they do not laddress lthe cause of out problems and the order in which they should be attended to. Number one-get all the illegals out of the country, number two-vote all the Liberals out of office (local and national), number three-get all the lifetimer welfare cheats off the system, number four don’t elect attorneys to office (leave them in the legal departments), number four-make our representatives live to the Constitution, number five-get us back into manufacturing (the last time the world respected us is when we were the manufacturing center of world). After all this is done, then we can run a country as is should be run.

  • Mitch

    The problem is, it’s too late. They are too entrenched, too powerful, and too many. Of course you have to start somewhere, but if enough disregard the propaganda, then a real emergency will be provided for you. Everybody has to live. We have to work, and we have to eat.
    Winperk is on the right track…get prepared as much as you can. Guns, food, gas, and the rest needed to survive???? They have all of their bases covered my friends. All that is needed now is a little more time, then a trigger to set it all off. I wouldn’t disregard all of the ‘coming emergencies’ as false. Watch them closely. There will be a trigger whether it be financial, military, terrorist attack..the legislation has and is being put into place. Total control of the Net, TV, Radio, all of it. They are ‘creepers’. They have been creeping for a long time now. When they get to where they are going, they’ll stop creeping and stand up, foot raised, ready to squash you like a bug. What the hell, maybe it is time for it to all go away. Freedom will prevail in the end I believe, but we probably won’t be around that long to see the new beginning. Just keep plugging away. Pay down your debt, move out of the city if possible, gold and silver are good ideas, stock food, develop relationships with your neighbors (you may need them), set up a plan to come together in an emergency by combining your resources…no matter what and how it all comes down, those are all smart things to be doing anyway. And if we are lucky enough to have a meteor hit the Capitol and they all get taken out in one fall swoop, you are not any worse off, except maybe alot of extra cans of spam in your pantry.
    Right now, we are all part of the system, so you have to use it to get prepared. People don’t like the idea of losing everything they have. Is it any wonder. I don’t think it’s a majority that are bamboozled, but rather, they just want to live and be free and go on hoping it all comes out ok. When their bubble bursts…then there will be large enough numbers to make the real changes that need to be made. Their bubbles are pissing air, and deflating right now. The masses are becoming pissed, but they still want the way of life we were all promised. Don’t lose faith. The only ones left standing will be those that had the nuts to look at the worst that could happen, those that have refused to peek around the corner will be in real trouble.

    • DaveH

      Start communicating with your State Legislators (as opposed to Federal Legislators) about your feelings of Federal Government taking Unconstitutional Power. It may come to the point where we need to quit playing the rigged game. If the Conservative States would get together, we could stop this UnConstitutional Federal Government.

      • Harold Olsen

        Good idea. Unfortunately, I live in ultra-liberal Washington State. Our idiot governor and state lawmakers are emulating the Obama regime and our two houses of Congress and pretty much telling us to go to hell. We passed a law here in Washington State recently, I-960-restricting how much our taxes can be raised. Guess what, they suspended it. They chose to ignore the will of the people. And when we expressed our anger, they reported us to the Washington State Patrol, claiming we were threatening them. The WSP said nothing we said was illegal or threatening but they are going to investigate us anyway.

  • Phil

    In 2011 Bushs tax cuts will expire and those in the top 2 % can pay their Share for a change and take part of the burden off the backs of the middleclass ….

    • George E.

      Phil,

      I don’t believe tax increases on anyone, but especially the wealthy, will help the economy or middle-class folks. I believe all you’ll do by increasing tax rates is 1) encourage more wasteful spending by Congress, and 2) take money out of the productive sector of our economy that might otherwise have been used to create wealth and jobs for the country. The middle-class will get nothing from these tax rate increases, but instead will pay more indirectly.

      • Phil

        The productive sector as you call them has sucked the life out of our economy… You nay incision some utopian sociaty when nobody has to pay taxes but that is never going to happen.. It’s time you faced reality… Now, are you saying those multi billionairs are the productive ones and that middleclass are the ones sucking the life out of our country?… It’s just amazes me that you’d defend you paying taxes instead of them… And I do believe the economy did just fine in the 90,s when they paid their share….you still want to enable this same people that have their thumb on your back….you should do some research and see how much the top 2 % have prospered during the last decade…. It’s more about commonsense… It can’t keep up like this…

      • George E.

        Phil,

        I’m not suggesting that the middle-class is sucking the life out of our economy. I mean no disrespect to the middle-class. Heck, I’m one of them. All I’m trying to say is that wealthy people got that way because they know how to take a buck and multiply it into many bucks. If they do this legally, which I believe most do, they create wealth by giving their customers more value for each dollar they spend, and that in turns creates businesses and jobs. They already pay the majority of the income taxes because our tax system is “progressive.” If we make them pay more taxes, they’ll just have less money to invest to create those businesses and jobs which middle-class people benefit from.

        Finally, I’m not suggesting that the middle-class pay more taxes either, although I do think a flatter income tax would be better for the economy and our culture, overall, but let’s save that discussion for another time. It’s my opinion that the economy is overtaxed, so tax “rate” reductions would actually stimulate growth and job creation. This has occurred each time it has been tried by past administrations. The federal deficit should be addressed with spending discipline, not increased tax rates or increased borrowing.
        Otherwise, the economy is burdened with overhead and won’t grow as quickly, and folks won’t benefit as much.

      • eyeswideopen

        George, are you aware that 2/3 of our business pay no taxes at all? Why is that? Shouldn’t every company pay their fair share? The loopholes allow even foreign companies to avoid taxes in this country.

    • DaveH

      Phil,
      Please take your head out of the sand. You seem like an intelligent guy. Do some real research. Quit being led by the nose by the MSM.
      The top 1% of wage earners already pay 40% of the total income taxes. How much more do you think is their “fair share”? And the bottom 50% of wage earners only pay 3% of the total income taxes.
      Do those top 1% get more government protection? I doubt it. In fact, I would bet that they get much less than the bottom 50%.
      How would you like it if before you could buy groceries you had to submit an income declaration, and your subsequent grocery prices were based on your income? I know there are those Liberals who would say that is a ridiculous example, but is it?
      Those “Rich” that the government is soaking are the ones who provide the real knowledge and work that it takes to run a good economy. The Government officials that take their money generally waste it and stifle productivity. Point that finger of yours at the real Culprits – Big Government.

      Exactly what is the middle class? Does it even exist anymore? I make around twenty-four thousand a year. Is that middle class? Every time the idiot politicians raise taxes they say it will only be the wealthy whose taxes will go up. But mine go up as well. But then, during the Clinton years it was established that the wealthy were defined as anyone who has a job and pays taxes. One Democrat defined it even closer when he said that the wealthy was anyone making twenty thousand or more a year. The poor are anyone who does not pay taxes. Therefore, there must not be a middle class anymore.

    Good article…

    This is what a lot of us posting here have been saying for sometime now. It’s all about control… Problem is only a very few number of people have a clue as to what is really going on and most don’t even care to know.

    For those of you who think voting will make a difference…. Well Good luck with that one..

  • George E.

    It’s sobering to think this could happen. However, it’s also instructive to know that it can happen, and how it works. This just reinforces the idea that citizens need to think independently, seek out truth where ever it is, and guard against getting caught up in “herd mentality.” It also leads me to think how important it is for citizens to be active in selecting representatives and setting the political agenda in party primaries before the rich and powerful get control of the process, and how important it is to stay engaged after the elections. Our collective voice and vote is the only thing we have to effectively compete with those who would seek to take control of our government.

    • NitPicker

      The Supreme Court recently also made it Law that the Corporations/Lobbyists can buy our elected “Congress.” What do we do now???

  • Swansong

    Bob, you just perfectly described South Africa. (I grew up there)

    HOW ELSE could the 1% have controlled so many people – of all races – for over 50 years? I suspect “Black South Africa” could have brought down the government in a month thru peaceful protest and boycott…

    Ask yourself why they did not. It’s pretty scary.

    How did the Nationalists do it?: Control of the media, courts, police, army, voting and banks.

    Now look at the US today… how loud can you yell “BINGO”?

    Here is what you can do to take this country back in my opinion!
    Vote in extremely conservative constitutional politicians that don’t believe in the nanny state or spending, especially on entitlement programs.
    Take most of your money out of the bank.
    Stop using credit cards.
    If you have large debts go banrupt.
    If you make less than 5 million dollars a year, buy silver and gold.
    Stop going to college, your degree won’t mean anything in the near future anyway. Use the money to buy Silver and gold.
    Stock up on canned goods, powdered milk and water, raise rabbits and chickens also a garden.
    Buy a firearm for hunting, a 22LR caliber is fine.

    Great article! As I said in my last post, it’s only about 1% of the richest people in the world that Lucifer appeals to, those who tend also to be intellectuals! All is vanity, you know. Not to mention, that there is a fine line between an idiot and genius, isn’t there? And, don’t forget to thank our government-run progressive(Satan- run)school system, either! It’s not just the mail office that the government has corrupted, you know. They have corrupted the entire American Society!
    Only a revolution can stop this, and they would get slaughtered by the Commander-In-Chief Obama! Believe me, there are a lot more deceived people following Satan than the Hebrew “Yahweh!” PS: The bible says that “Hebrew” is the only inspired language and it’s coming back(Zeph. 3:9) and that Yahweh spoke Hebrew (Acts 26:14), Baal (means Lord in Hebrew)worship(Jer. 2:8)and it is forbidden; that the Hebrew Father is Yahweh and the son, coming in the father’s name, Yahshua(Hebrew means “Yahweh is Salvation!”)is our savior! Don’t be deceived by Lucifer, the one coming in his own name! If interested go to the following web site: info@icyahweh.org.

  • Joyce Bygall

    Steven G. Poyzer is absolutely correct! We must ELECT candidates that will vote to take the power away from the private bankers/Federal Reserve etc. It will be hard to do as somehow ALL who have tried end with their demise. {Andrew Jackson survived because both the guns of his assassinator misfired. We need to pray for the protection of Dr. Ron Paul as he is rallying congress to try and audit the fed[at least a first step, I think]. Sometimes it is hard to know motives, but he has 324 cosigners on the bill. The New World Order gang can’t eliminate all of them I hope. We must tell everyone to view the excellent documentary on You Tube – “The Money Masters” It is phenominal and will educate anyone who views it! This is so important!! We must take our country back – time is running out!

    Very good article. Not sure what we can do about it at this point, other than quit responding to the the panic allerts. Never was a client for the mass vaccination. Recognized that as deception. Also, not a candidate for the high price of healthcare. Prevention is the only good answer. Current health industry is out of control, but I am not in favor of nationalized healthcare. I am in favor of the public educating themselves on medical decisions, and letting supply and demand bring healthcare cost back into line. The day is over that you can take everything that comes down from the medical industry as gospel. Their information is nothing more than manipulation for profit. Just study the thinking on eggs, cholesterol, heart disease causes, etc. to prove my point. Things that were the answer, are now the cause, and visa versa. The public needs to read more, and make decisions a lot slower.

  • http://www.linkedin.com/in/GaryMallast Gary J. Mallast

    Dear Mr. Livingston,

    You forgot the education system. There was already an impetus towards the teaching of state-worship when the schools were still pretty thoroughly in control of the local school boards. It is just an inevitable result of government control.

    However, that now seems like “the good old days.” Two things happened:

    First, a big philosophical change that occurred in the 1960s. When I was a kid, the public education system was dominated by a broad Calvinist religious consensus: viz. Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists. Thus the ideological environment teneded towards “Protestant work ethic” and a vaguely “Progressive” democratism. While conservatives and libertarians could approve of some of the conservatising effects of the broad Protestantism and the fact that the 1910s Progressivism still gave some homage to the rule of law and some sort of personal liberty, there were problems. But parents could successfully contradict what their children were endocrinated with in school if needs be. Also, Catholics and Lutherans had alternative education systems. Starting around 1960 as the older teachers who began their carreers 1920-1940 started retiring in large numbers and as the mainstream religions came to be taken over by more consistent leftists, the philosophy of the school system changed Herbartian and Dewian ideas that had dominated American education since around 1900 to more consistently leftist ones, especially the sort of touchy-feely leftism of, for example, Carl Rogers. (In the Catholic schools Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—but that’s another issue) This must be made clear, the change was not Marxian even though representing and allied with the so-called New Left. Thus the impetus towards teaching state-worship in the public schools was given a big boost simply by the changes in ideology in the Universities’ schools of education—not just public ones but ones controlled by the mainstream churches.

    Second, the Soviet Union having beat the U.S. in getting up the first artificial satellite in 1958 was used as an excuse for a massive expansion of the Federal role in education. Allegedly, the purpose was to improve U.S. students performance in math and science. As we have seen, as Federal involvement in education has increased, performance in those areas has declined. Federal control is exercised through grants which often such local school boards into beginning Federally conceived programs. Once the program is in place, it is hard for the local school board to get rid of it, even if the Federal funding is eliminated.

    There needs to be a movement towards separating the schools from government just like the press and the churches. There is a need to even re-examine the precedents for Public Education: specifically The Massachusetts General Education Act of 1647 and Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge. The principles they contained may have been dubious even on their own terms.

    Best wishes.

    Sincerely,

      Gary,

      Thanks for that thought provoking post. I definitely agree that our school system would on average be better if it were distanced from government control, especially federal government control. Federal control and unionization has increased costs and dumbed down the system, in my opinion.

    As we all know, a large number of people voted into the presidency
    an avowed Marxist Mr BHO II.I believe the tipping point of these voters were illegally identified by the Marxist groups getting Mr. BHO II elected. We now also have a Marxist house and senate. Theoretically, the Marxist coup should be complete. We who belive in a Constitutional Republic must act.

    This brings to the forefront the obvious questions for Congressional and Senate candidates and our next candidate for the presidency; Will you work to repeal the Federal Reserve Act and draft legislation to re-establish a national currency based on Gold and Silver (and other precious metals). If they fail to answer in the affirmative, dismiss them as a viable candidate.

      Sadly, STEVEN, it would take more than all the gold in the world to pay off our debt, or put another way, gold would have to be in excess of $8,000 an ounce before what we may have in Ft. Knox would equal our debt. I do not believe anything can prevent the collapse of the dollar (or any other currency) without extreme ‘tightening of the belt.’ The 111th Congress seems to have no interest in this so and continue to spend like the money was real. If we can replace them in November we may be able to slow this train down before it crashes at the bottom of the mountain, but crash it will. As it is the train seems to have lost it’s brakes and is picking up speed. Some believe we have less than three years. I really don’t know how long we have left so vote intelligently in November and perhaps a nice, polite letter to you representatives home address telling him of your concern and how you intend to vote will have some value. One radical left group has already influenced over 1.3 million of it’s mostly student members to write their representatives and demand government run health care, and the manadatory purchase of insurance, and government funded abortion, and the rationing of health care that this will all result in within a decade. Did you know that even Russian think tanks believe the USA will break up into separate countries after the collapse of the dollar? I hope not but it is going to be a very different world before this decade is over. Houses will be cheaper but food will be quite expensive, along with anything imported. It is my opinion that only about 15% of what is going to happen in this disaster has happened. Learn to think like a 19th Century pioneer. Become as self-reliant as possible. Pray for guidance if you are fortunate enough to be a believer. Get out of debt and get out of the cities. Remember you can’t eat gold but you can buy non-perishable foods that will hold their nutrition until inflation alone will pay for them. Some are freeze dried and stored in nitrogen and good for over a quarter of a century. Congress and the Bush/Obama team have spent so much that 200% inflation is assured. And keep out of LACALIF until after the ‘big one’ which has a very high proability of happening between now and the middle of Sept. Ignore all this at your own peril. May God bless you.

    On target—yes.
    Now, what pray tell, do we do to combat this “psychological warfare”
    that so few of us are so easily able to recognize?
    How do we ‘educate’ the American people on the subterfuge and
    propagandizing going on all day long? Indeed, do we take to the
    streets? Is the government actually “betting” that the police and
    military will not ultimately side with the people?
    Do we organize a 21st Century American Revolution or wait
    until Nov. 2nd and show all politicians that we mean business?
    Kindly answer these questions at your convenience.
    I’ll be watching for your posted comments.
    Thank you.

      • Swansong

        You HAVE TO go back to the guiding principles of the Constitution.

        That means addressing:
        * Freeing the economy
        * The existence of the Fed
        * Placing the USD BACK on the Gold Standard
        * The unconstitutional behavior & precedents set by the Courts
        * The unconstitutional behavior of the Federal Government
        * Encouraging private vs public schooling (YES, THAT MEANS VOUCHERS!)
        * Limiting State & taxes based on the growth of the economy
        * Turn the IRS on the government!

        I don’t know – that’s for starters?

        Looking at this list, it’ll probably only be after the country collapses that people have the “aHAH!” moment and take any one of these seriously!

I bet, if Britney Spears ran for office, she’d Win, ’cause [said in Classic Valley Girl Voice]She’s,Like, So Cool, ‘ya know?

      • Harold Olsen

        What do you expect with the quality of education in our schools these days? The textbooks are written, published and selected by people with a progressive agenda. I understand that the new textbooks that are coming out will ignore our history prior to the Harding administration. That means, little, if anything, will be taught about our founding fathers and the creation of this country. And isn’t that when the Progressive movement in this country began?

      • J C

        Hey Phil, George W. Bush is from Connecticutt. And don’t worry, Obama will have us all living in a cave soon enough. All he has to do is keep “stimulating” the economy. Only a moron could believe that fiat money (counterfeit) out of thin air could do anything other than ruin us all.

      • Harold Olsen

        I agree. Unfortunately, the Democrat politicians seem to consider the U. S. Constitution to be an illegal document, unless they can find something in it that they can twist to help further their agenda. The problem is, many Republican politicians seem to have the same attitude because most, if not all, are left-leaning moderates.

    • Time

      Popham,
      I can say this, try and stay informed as best as you can, always ask hard questions of any politician who is running for office.
      Not what the press makes you think are the questions you need answers too.
      Like when will the IRS be disbannded? Where is the law that even allows them to exist and take money from you the hard working American?
      Just for the record there is no law, so anyone that answers that there is; you know what they are that fast.

      Ask when will the Patriot act be repealed?
      Ask when will the FED be audited?
      Ask when will the DEA be disbanded?
      When will congress ask the people if they can have a raise?
      When will congress and the senate balance the budget?
      When will congress stop writting laws that remove your FREEDOMS?
      When will the DC belt way remove all lobbyist?
      When will the Justice Dept be disbannded?
      When will the fereral Government get out of states rights?
      When will media owners be tried for TREASON?
      When will media new faces face the same?
      When will any and all members of both houses as well former Presidents and others be tried for treason?

      Don’t just think that if they say they are a Republican or Democrat that they hold the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights as the Rule of Law of the Land.
      Look at this progressive movement its been inch by inch for so long that politicians in both partys are in that loop.

      Don’t take anyones word for anything, “look at the work product.”

      Hold them 100% accountable for everything. The DC Belt Way seems to change people, once they figure out the easy money can be all theirs if they just follow along with the pack, most will do just that.

      Stop buying products from DOLE, Dupont, COKE, Pepsi, Star kissed Tuna and or any others that are seen on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSN, MSNBC, HLN.
      The one thing these people don’t want is loss of money, and they controll 80% of the wealth in this country, thus they controll the politicians too.

      • DaveH

        Most importantly, when will the Department of Education be abolished? The Federal Government has absolutely no business being involved in the education of our kids.

      • Time

        Folks, We have a Constitution as well a Bill of Rights,
        let me try and state what it all boils down to in
        just a few words.

        FREEDOM to express ones self,
        Freedom to come and go as you please.
        Freedom to wear dumb looking things.
        Freedom to act like a nut case.
        Freedom to eat what you like.
        Freedom to walk not run.
        Freedon to own a gun if you so wish.
        Freedom to make a living with out the Government
        taking it away.

        Freedom is a special thing, so treat everyone like
        you would like to be treated, oddly FREEDOM works.

        When you have laws that build on laws that restrict your FREEDOM,
        for your alledged safety due to a group of persons who wants to
        impose the ideas that they feel are what you need.
        Then the slippery slop has been started.
        Or as its now known the “VAST GRAY Area” of law.

      • Dark1rep

        Time, DaveH, I also agree – violence not good. However, every email to the critters should end with this quote:

        “This time we come unarmed.”

        Political elite arrogance can only be shaken with a constant reminder of their own mortality. Their continued (decades long) deafness is no longer an option – and will NOT be tolerated.

        “When the People fear the government, there is Tyranny. When the government fears the People, there is Liberty.”

      • Dennis

        DaveH,
        I do agree. But what are you going to do when they come for your gun’s ? for whatever reason they chose to use. Remember what they did in New Orleans they > ( the military took the PEOPLE’S GUN’S by force ) for whatever reason. The people there had NO way to DEFEND themselves after that. By the way they have never given them there fire arms back. Obama WILL come after the only thing that keeps us free and stops them from taking total control OUR GUN’S.

We need to concentrate on the best person for the position and that right now is almost impossible of a task to do. So many party line jumpers, wolves in sheep clothing. Gotta follow the money and the votes but that gives them a head start on the voters and even then our votes may be taken away from us like in 2000 when the Supreme Court picked the person the money and they wanted us to have. New form of American Democracy but not what I grew up with.

    • Harold Olsen

      Yes, because of the Internet we can communicate globally and information gets passed around. That’s why dictatorships try to control the Internet in order to suppress and censor information. Even Obama is now trying to do that. He has stated several times that he wants to control the Internet and is trying to get legislation passed so that in an “emergency” he can shut down certain websites. Of course, he would decide what constitutes an emergency, such as opposing and criticizing his policies, and most likely it would be conservative websites such as this one that he would feel a necessity to shut down

  • J C

    Interesting you should quote Goebbels. Here’s another one from another famous Nazi (national socialist)

    “Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or 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 to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

    Add just a dash of Marxism:

    5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

    (Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.)

    And Voila! The recipe for a grand disaster.
    I’m pretty sure that America wasn’t founded on these principles.

    • denniso

      What an absurd article! First, couldn’t Bob get the spelling of ‘Goebbels’ right? And to compare our gov’t to nazi Germany is ridiculous at best, and asinine at worst…he’s apparently been reading too many similar comments right here on his own site.

      Secondly,doesn’t he and you people realize that ‘the government’ is actually ‘the people’??? No, we don’t have a perfect democracy or republic but we do get to vote people in or out,and a good part of the ‘police state’ is made up of state police officers that are in theory accountable to the different states,not the feds.

      To echo what many rightwingers are spouting,that ‘government is enemy no. 1, is exactly what helps precipitate acts of violence like the Oklahoma City bombing by McVeigh and the recent plane attack on the IRS in Austin…is that what Bob and most of the posters here want? It looks that way to me.

      I wonder too, if Bob talked like this when we did come pretty close to a fascist adminstration under Cheny/Bush? I know that other rightwingers didn’t,precisely because they were, and are, loyal to their rightwing party and acted just like most of the loyal Germans did under Hitler. Now that we have a new party in some degree of control, the rightwing is on the attack w/ screeds like Bob’s.

      Gov’t is enemy number one??? All of you are part of ‘the gov’t'…vote,protest,attend city council meetings,write,yell,but get off that ridiculous cliche and do something to keep ‘your’ gov’t in check,w/o supporting wackos who may act on this kind of violent talk.

        Gee Denniso, do you really expect me to buy your line of BS ?
        ” To echo what many rightwingers are spouting,that ‘government is enemy no. 1, is exactly what helps precipitate acts of violence like the Oklahoma City bombing by McVeigh and the recent plane attack on the IRS in Austin…”

        So, it wouldn’t be that “the recent pilot” in Autsin outlined 4 or 5 personal tax rape situations that caused him to attack, right Denniso ? Instead, you claim it’s posters and talkers that may or may not have gotten the shaft before… and therfore all those talking or typing “like Bob” need to “shutup !” according to you, and your infantile analysis, because they “helped precipitate” the Austin IRS building attack…
        You know, if you weren’t such a mind controlled numbskulled liberal robot that repeats left wing talking points before even thinking about them, you might have had a point.
        BUT YOU DON’T.
        It’s rather clear Denniso that some programmer that gets his retirement acct. raped 3 or 4 times by the IRS has his own ideas when it comes to “what’s wrong with the government” that probably BLOW AWAY anything and everything anyone, including you, could concoct in text or speech on some website or in person.
        If some entity RAPES your retirement account multiple times, and even after YEARS of letter writing, phone calling, meeting attendance, and PLEADING the redress of grievance, you are stlil ignored, as was the fella in Austin – THERE’S NOT A CHANCE IN DILLWEED DICKO THAT SOMETHING BOB SAID HERE SENT THE GUY OVER THE EDGE!
        Now, next time, please take a second or two thinking before you spew some censoring free speech crap at posters here because you, “mr homeleand security” thought in your tiny, encased peanut like mind, that “they’re vocally inciting terrorists”.

        So Dennisso you havent read this healthcare bill that puts the govt in every aspect of our lives.I for one will not live under anyone.for a long time we have been ruled by the govt only this is the thing.We are supposed to rule the govt.I dont know what kind of govt we have today a cross between Fascism and Communism.We are supposed to have a Republic.the govt is there to Protect rights not Take them away.
        When a govt starts regulating and limiting rights they are no longer rights.they become privileges.

      • One of the sheep

        The scary thing is that some people believe the demagogs who are taking over America are responding to the people, when the people clearly no longer want the lies and grand schemes that were thrown at them in the last election. The marxist regime in washington is hell bent to do what they want to do without the consent of the electorate, or dealing with anyone who does not totally accept their philosophy. Their new defintion of “bi-partisan” is “do what I want, you have no say in this.” They will do this because they believe the rest of us are too stupid and need their direction and state control to save us. Democrat voters will not open their eyes to the reality of what is happening. When someone plays back the examples of lying and deception of their politicos, they scream “rightwing extremists”. This country was created by right wingers, and will do perfectly well if we prevent the demos from changing us to European socialist failures. It is such outrageous leftwing actions that cause severe reactions to the right that are so destructive. Do democrats only read their own revisionist history, and not know anything about the past?
        Such arrogance, and power grabbing will be defeated this year. Proof that our country has always been the only hope of freedom. They cannot take that away, the genie is out of the bottle.

      • REYKOOL

        DENNISON, HOW POLITICALLY NAIVE AND IGNORANT YOU HAVE TO BE ! …WE ARE NOT IN A DEMOCRACY, ADOLPH HITLER LIKE GEORGE BUSH OR OBAMA WAS ALSO ELECTED. ELECTIONS ARE FIXED. NUMBER ONE
        SECOND DEMOCRACY MEANS “GOVERNED BY THE PEOPLE” (IN GREEK) SO WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOVERNED ? DID YOU CHOOSE TO GIVE THE TARP MONEY TO WALL STREET ? DID YOU VOTE FOR THAT DECISION ? THERE ARE 10 LOBBYISTS FOR EVERY CONGRESSMAN, WHO LOBBY FOR US ?
        BETWEEN A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR LIKE KBR OR HALIBURTON WHO MAKE BILLIONS ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS (KBR HEAD QUARTER IS “OFF SHORE” THEY DO NOT PAY ANY TAX) WHO LOBBY CONGRESS TO INCREASE THE “WARFARE STATE” BUDGET AND YOU OR ME. WHO DO YOU THINK CONGRESS WILL LISTEN TO? TO MAKE THEIR “FINAL DECISION”.
        DEMOCRACY OR PLUTOCRACY ? I SAY “CORPORATOCRACY” WHICH IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BIG GOVERNMENT AND BIG CORPORATIONS. THERE IS ANOTHER NAME FOR IT “FASCISM” SO THE COMPARISON TO THE NAZIS IS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
        I SUGGEST DENNISO TO READ OUR CONSTITUTION AND TAKE A REAL GOOD LOOK AT WHAT AMERICA IS BECOMING TODAY, READ THE PATRIOT ACT… PLEASE !
        NOW A WAKE UP CALL :
        OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS ALMOST $ 13 TRILLIONS , 350% OF OUR GDP, NOT CREATED BY RIGHT WINGERS OR LIBERALS BUT BY OUR SYTEM OF “CREATION OF FIAT MONEY” AND HERE HOW :
        (GOOGLE FINANCIAL MESS-THE REAL DEAL BY MICHAEL MITROSKY)
        OUR FEDERAL RESERVE, A CARTEL OF PRIVATE BANKS WHO BY LAW (SINCE 1913) HAS THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO ISSUE OUR CURRENCY PRINTS OUR $100, $20 OR $1 BILLS FOR THE COST OF 4 CENTS AND THEN SELLS THOSE BILLS ($100,$20 ETC) TO THE U.S GOVERNMENT FOR (100,20) FACE AMOUNT. OUR GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR THEM IN DEBT: TREASURY BONDS,TREASURY NOTES AND TREASURY BILLS. YOU’LL HEAR OUR MEDIA SAY : “THE FED INJECTED LIQUIDITY INTO THE MARKET”
        ALL THIS MEANS IS THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS LITERALLY CREATING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR AND THEN SELLING THIS MONEY TO OUR GOVERNMENT FOR ITS FACE AMOUNT.
        THIS IS THE TRUE SOURCE OF OUR NATIONAL DEBT, AND THIS IS THE REASON OUR DEBT NEVER GOES DOWN NO MATTER WHO IS THE PRESIDENT, OR IS IN CONGRESS.
        THE GRACE COMMISSION REPORT (GOOGLE IT) DEMONSTRATED THAT NONE OF THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX GOES TO PAY FOR ANY GOVERNMENT SERVICES (ROADS, SCHOOLS, MILITARY) AND IS USED TO PAY ONLY THE INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT. IN FACT BOTH THE INCOME TAX AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE WERE CREATED IN THE SAME YEAR 1913. THE INCOME TAX WAS CREATED TO FINANCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE. NOW WHO DO YOU THINK IS REALLY IN CHARGE, OR IN CONTROL OF THE” BOTTOM LINE POLICIES” ? THE BANKRUPTED BORROWER OR THE CREDITOR ?
        THE U.S. DECLARED BANKRUPTCY (SECRETLY) IN 1933 AS EXPRESSED IN ROOSEVELT’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260, HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 192 OF JUNE 5, 1933 CONFIRMED IN PERRY v .U.S. (1935) 294 U.S. 330-381, 79 LEd 912, AS WELL AS 31 UNITED STATES CODE (USC) 5112, 5119 AND 12 USC 95a. OUR RULING ELITE OR “BANKSTERS” GOAL WAS ,AND STILL IS, TO ABSORB AMERICA INTO A ONE-WORLD PRIVATE COMMERCIAL GOVERNMENT, A “NEW WORLD ORDER” IN LATIN “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM’ WHICH IS PRINTED ON OUR SINGLE DOLLAR BILL UNDER THE PYRAMID SINCE….1933. (THAT INCLUDE A WORLD CURRENCY FROM THE WORLD BANK, FOLLOWING A FUTURE STAGED MAJOR GLOBAL CRISIS OR A MAJOR WAR LIKE WW3 STARTED WITH IRAN/ISRAEL)
        SO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DISCREDIT THIS ARTICLE AND BLAMING THE WRITER FOR NOT SPELLING A NAME RIGHT DENNISO SHOULD EDUCATE HIMSELF ON THE SUBJECT. GOOGLE THE FOLLOWING :
        ” THE BANKERS MANIFESTO OF 1892″ (DEMONSTRATING MAJOR BANKERS STRATEGY TO CONTROL THE MARKET
        “THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND’ BY G .EDWARD GRIFFIN (the VIDEO IS FREE AND BOOK)
        OUR “ELECTED OFFICIALS” ARE JUST FRONT MEN,THEY SERVE THEIR PUPPET MASTERS : THOSE WHO CONTROL THE ISSUANCE OF OUR CURRENCY (AND POLICIES) THROUGH THE DEBT SYSTEM.(CENTRAL BANKERS AND WORLD BANK) THE OLIGARCHY, THE RULING ELITE …THE REAL POWER TO BE, (PART OF THE 1%) what ever you want to call it….IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP !
        GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.

        SHA BAM, you are well read and by that i mean you find the facts. I would assume based on your insight that you see the futility in resistance. This plan is marching forward and there is nothing any of us could do to convince others that its even a plan much less do anything to abate it. My education has just started in the last few years and what an eye opener, I have labored under such gross miss conceptions my entire life, completely fooled to the point of blindness. All the sources and information on facts you have researched are a remarkable effort of response for such a whimsical web article. I have come to the conclusion that a look at the past only warns us of the future with out affording the possibility of changing the future. We can not change what is determined for this world but we can find a path to the next one. That world is as obvious as the facts you have pointed out yet, most of us are just as fooled about that reality as well. We can find hope in the truth if we are willing to humble our selves and acknowledge that we are subordinate to a creator who is as relevant as the air we breath.
        THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS ARTICLE, YOU HAVE BROUGHT LIGHT TO A SITUATION THAT IS IN THE DARK FOR MOST PEOPLE. GOD BLESS

        Means “New Order of the Ages” not “New World Order” and is from the 1700′s Please check your facts before SHOUTING THEM ON HERE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS …….. It might be easier to believe some of the conspiracy proponents if they would use “real facts”

      • REYKOOL

        MARC THE “NEW WORLD ORDER” IS A FACT, YOUR PHONY “CORRECTION” IS BASED ON A TRANSLATION OR “INTERPRETATION” OF THE WORDS “NOVO ORDO SECLORUM” WHICH IS JUST A VERY SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR STORY
        WHY DON’T YOU GIVE US THE “FACTS” ON THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM EXPLAINED ON
        “THE FINANCIAL MESS- THE REAL DEAL” BY MICHAEL MITROSKY…(GOOGLE IT AND LEARN : FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING IS A FACT AND CAN BE FOUND ON FEDERAL RESERVE DOCUMENTS NOW “CONVENIENTLY” OUT OF PRINT, I HAVE COPIES GIVEN TO ME BY A FORMER EXECUTIVE AT THE NEW YORK FED,
        THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX WAS CREATED JUST A FEW MONTH AFTER THE FEDERAL RESERVE WAS BORN , (THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT WAS PASSED ON DECEMBER 23 1913), THIS IS A FACT NOT A “THEORY” AND IT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE… THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX WAS CREATED TO FINANCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM, ANY BODY WHO CAN READ CAN GOOGLE ” THE GRACE COMMISSION REPORT : NOT ONE DIME COLLECTED ON INCOME TAX GOES TO PAY FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES THIS IS A FACT NOT A “CONSPIRACY THEORY” AND IT IS USED TO PAY ONLY THE INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT, WHICH IS CREATED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE ( THE FED PRINT OUR FIAT DOLLAR FOR 4 CENTS AND SELL IT BACK TO OUR GOVERNMENT FOR FULL FACE VALUE, SO WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS FOR THE COST OF “BORROWING” THAT MONEY ?)
        WHY DON’T YOU CHECK THE FACTS ON ROOSEVELT’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260
        HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 192 OF JUNE 5 1933 CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. DECLARED BANKRUPTCY IN 1933 (SEE NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND CONGREGATIONAL RECORDS)
        GOOGLE : BANKERS MANIFESTO OF 1892 (HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF,ANOTHER FACT )
        I REMEMBER THE IDIOTS ALL SCREAMING ” CONSPIRACY THEORY” WHEN THE FIRST ARTICLE ON THE WATERGATE BURGLARY CAME OUT…I STILL LAUGH BECAUSE THE REAL CONSPIRACY BEHIND WATERGATE IS STILL NOT KNOWN BY THE VAST MAJORITY.
        THOSE WHO REFUSE TO FACE THE FACTS AND ACCUSE THE ONES WHO DID THE RESEARCH OF BEING “CONSPIRACY THEORISTS” AND WHO ALWAYS GO ALONG WITH THE “OFFICIAL THEORY” AND GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA NEVER BRING THE DETAILED DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE THEIR CASE., THEY JUST DISMISS WITHOUT DOING THEIR HOME WORK.
        OBEDIENT SHEEPS WHO NEVER QUESTION AUTHORITY AND NEVER THINK ON THEIR OWN, IS WHAT
        GOVERNMENT LOVE, ESPECIALLY COMMUNISTS AND RIGHT WING FASCISTS REGIMES….KEEP BEING A GOOD BOY MARC,
        WHY NOBODY EVER ASKED THAT OBVIOUS QUESTION :
        WHY OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH A BANKING CARTEL TO ISSUE THEIR OWN CURRENCY AND PAY FULL PRICE , WHICH CREATES A HUGE NATIONAL DEBT TO BE PAID WITH A FEDERAL INCOME TAX RATHER THAN ISSUING THEIR CURRENCY AT ALMOST NO COST (4 CENTS) AND THEREFORE NOT EVEN HAVING THE NEED TO COLLECT AN INCOME TAX, OUR GOVERNMENT WAS OPERATED WITHOUT ANY INCOME TAX COLLECTED BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, FOR OVER 100 YEARS …THAT IS A FACT. (CHECK OUR CONSTITUTION) …
        CORPORATE TAX OF COURSE IS A DIFFERENT QUESTION.
        IT IS A TAX ON PROFIT ONLY, WHICH IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF INCOME AND ACCEPTABLE
        I KNOW THE ANSWER IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE BOOK “THE CREATURE OF JEKYLL ISLAND BY ED GRIFFIN. (GOOGLE THE VIDEO FOR FREE)
        CONCLUSION FOR MARC AND THE BLIND BELIEVERS OF “OFFICIAL STORIES” :

        “RATIONALITY BELONGS TO THE COOL OBSERVER BECAUSE OF THE STUPIDITY OF THE AVERAGE MAN WHO FOLLOWS NOT REASON BUT FAITH AND HIS NAIVE FAITH REQUIRES NECESSARY ILLUSIONS AND EMOTIONALLY POTENT OVERSIMPLIFICATION PROVIDED BY THE MYTH MAKERS TO KEEP THE BELIEVER ON COURSE”

        Denniso, Boy are you naive! As for the right You are naive as well. I know many on that side that protested but didn’t get our point across. That sure doesn’t make us Timothy McVeigh. If you believe Obuma has some semblance of control, you are joking, RIGHT? By your writing I would guess you work for the gov’t and a Progressive. As for me I normally vote(R)because I have been a buisness owner (2) and under the Dem’s it was really tough. Through Carter and the first years of Clinton until Gingrich helped him out. And these are facts. The Dems want to invoke the fairness doctrine,to control the media but the Liberal media can’t cut it so put them on a conservative show?,the dems love the fed which controls the money of which Geitner came from, the big push for the swine flu shots which has mercury in them, the most toxic of materials and no need to be in this shot, public education which doesn’t teach our history (check it out,I have)and most colleges are way left, and you if interested can google it. BOTH sides need to be heard! I do not put myself in the Republican niche because I view myself as a Fiscal Conservative and both do not abide by this view. I love my country and I have fought for this country and I see it going to hell in a hand basket. If you don’t see that then I suppose there is no hope. I ‘HAD’ some Progressive friends who worked for the Gov’t all their lives and think Gov’t should run everything. They just did not understand that it is small buisness that paid their salaries and not the Gov’t! You really do need to get your facts right!!!!

      • Cribster

        The government does not have your best interests in mind. The attacks on liberty come almost daily now.

We won’t let you do that…

      • JC

        Sorry Kid…you’re still behind the curve.
        You need to go back to Alexander Hamilton and his machinations of imperialism bordering on a monarchy style government. He brought in the first central bank and naturally he and his rich buddies used it as their personal slush fund. (Jackson abolished that bank but that’s irrelevant to my point) What you don’t get…what you just don’t understand…is that the circumstances that lead to poverty and sweat shops and alllll the other sad pictures you can paint, were occurring as a direct result of too damned much power concentrated in the hands of government and its rich buddies…a “monopoly” you might say.
        And in your twisted rendition of history, you feel that “more” government somehow solved all of that? No way, it put a band aid on it. And now as a result of alllll this wonderful government intervention….the whole damned country is one big sweat shop.
        Nice try though. Go ahead and keep rooting for BIG GOVERNMENT. They always have your best interests in mind…right denniso?

      • http://atomicfans.com art hatch

        A lot of valid points for sure but, this idea that its politics is wrong. It make no difference what party you believe in,,,they are all used by the same banking powers. When we were kids we knew that the guy with the mansion and all the stuff was in control of his world and we wanted to be like him,,,maybe. He could get what he wanted when he wanted it because of money. Later in life we realized this money principal worked for everything, the rich kids could always get out of trouble because they came from money and, later they could influence politicians and get the laws they wanted for business interests. Well we all know how concentrated world banking powers are and I must say we would be naive to assume that such ultimate wealth and power would maintain anything less than ultimate control but, on the bright side Im sure all those powerful pharmaceutical CEO’s that Barack met with will have a positive influence on him to do what is best for the USA. Or all the major financial institutions that backed him 3 to 1 over the republican candidate for the first time in decades. It was said by a very controversial figure once that ” you can not serve both God and money” Im pretty sure money is the god of this world,,,,,which god do you want and serve?

        How stupid you are is shown well with what you wrote. You are just another idiot that was indeed indoctrinated in the indoctrination centers they call public schools. You learned nothing about the history of the world and thereby it will only repeat itself again. What a shame that you and the ilks of you want to be in control. You now have your Marxist leaders in place, obama, pelosi, reid, and all the chicago style henchmen and I see many more idiots posted after you. Be damn well certain America is the Greatest experiment that ever transpired in the history of the world. Remember you cannot and will not overthrow the Almighty God who gives us our Inalienable rights. Americans will not stand by for the overthrow of Our great Nation. Sad reality has it that so many of you deranged idiots are not Americans at all. Just because you may have been born on the soil of America is not good enough to classify one an American, American is a mindset and one damn well worth having. God has blessed America and now it is time for Americans and her inhabitants to honor Him. This is the most Blessed nation on earth and will always be if we will obey Him. Abortion is a huge scourge on this Nation and one cannot expect God’s blessings for that travesty.

      • Sam

        Denniso the first comment you said wack jobs like timothy Mcviegh, first off he was a decorated veteran. Also the only reason why he “went off” is because his wife and 3 kids were murdered by the FBI at waco you gullable news suckling moron! maybe if you got off your stupid ass and searched for the real truth about things you wouldn’t be just another sheep in the flock of ignorance! All the bodies at waco were tansported to a unrefrigerated morge near the mexican border and left on stainless steel exam tables to rot for over a month before the families could claim them!this was done On purpose, so any physical trace of the horrors these poor people had to undure was undetectable. However when McViegh claimed his family and they scooped their remains into transport containers somehow one of the government cronies missed one of his kids when they did the bullet extractions and like marbles they fell out of the rotten corpse on the steel. Timothy wrote of this to everyone he knew pleading for help he paid for a private autopsy of the rest of his family which resulted in more obvious cover ups about the way they died. the bullets were223s while all the dividians had 7.62s, 223 is the cal. the feds use moron! Timothy was looking for anyone to help him avenge his families murder but because these people didn’t conform they were slaughtered here in our own country. So he took on the battle all by himself! Something I only pray does have to happen to the rest of us.

      • denniso

        You sound like you’re out of your mind,dude…McVeigh DID NOT have a wife and 3 kids killed at Waco. Hard to believe there are idiots like you who actually defend a sicko incinerating little kids in their day care school,thinking they are starting a war against the feds. SICK…

      • denniso

        Sicko Sam…OK,bozo, to refresh my memory I looked up evil McVeigh. He WAS NEVER MARRIED,LET ALONE HAD KIDS,AND HARDLY EVER EVEN HAD A GIRLFRIEND. SO, all you’re doing is lying through your teeth while trying to justify the murder of babies and kids…you should be freaking ashamed of your idiocy for making those stupid a*s comments that you or some other moron made up out of thin air…ridiculous!!!

      • denniso

        Oh, I forgot…reading up on some of McVeigh’s stupid writings and spoutings,they sound very much like what the majority of the rightwing extremists on this site are spewing…the same old,mindless crap. Can’t you people do any better than to regurgitate what a mass murderer said??

        Sam – I’m not sure where you got your info on Timothy McVeigh – but he was never married – just a goofy guy with an idiotic mission to kill people – along with many little children. There’s nothing brave or heroic in that to me – Being pissed at the Government doesn’t give you permission to kill the innocents.

      • James Eagles

        Sorry I did not notice one mention of Obama or Democrats in the article. He spoke of government, this govermnent includes both Democrats and Republicans, liberal and conservative, you need to get off your holier than thou soapbox and take a good look at what your government is doing on a daily basis to transform this country into a fascist state. It is happening right before your eyes, take off the liberal blinders and look around. Your dollar is not worth the paper it is printed on, internment camps are being constructed nationwide, more and more of your freedom is being taken from you. I am sick and tired of people like you who cannot see the forest for the trees and just keep drinking the kool aid your party feeds you. It’s all the Republicans fault, it’s all the republicans fault. Really? Both Obama and Mccain were Senators for the 8 yoears of Bush, what did they do about the mess he left us. Cant you see they are all to blame as is everyone who listened to all of them and bought into their BS.It is time to get rid of them all…

        These idiots in Washington think thay are smarter than all of us and their egotistocal attitude proves it. They think that they are quailified to know what is best for all of us. THEY THINK they are the only smart people that have ever been born. Some in this country are followers and some are leaders and it seems that most in this country are so relaxed and sorry that want someone else to make their decisions for them and make it all better and they will trust anyone and believe a lie just because they are too lazy or spoiled to make an effort to do for themselves or find out the truth. There is a Sunami coming in this country and most cannot see it. If you like slavery and Communism, then just keep supporting these conlrolling liberals.

      • GeorgeE

        I think Sir or Mam, which ever you may be,should look with open mind and heart at the real and true history of this country and how we got to this sorry state we find ourselves in today.I suggest you do a search on the internet through GOOGLE,AOL, BitTourent or whatever search engine you like and look for any of the fowlling:
        THE MONEY MASTERS or THE FALL OF THE REPUBLIC
        They are well produced Video Movies that explaines in simple easy to understand English what has taken place behind the secens since just before 1900. I am not trying to sell you or anybody else anything including my thoughts or belifes. I just hope everyone will look for and watch these videos with a open mind and come to your own conclousion. It is all Real History. In short right after the Civil War there were a few Amendments to the Consitution to help those recently freed from Slavery or involuntary servitude to enforce each and every person has the right to Life,Liberty and the persuit of Happiness. About 1900 give or take a few years, the big companies like Standard Oil- the Steel cos.-Lumber Cos.and so on got together and formed the Oil Corps.-Steel Corps.-Lumber Corps. and so on. Before this period in history all companies had to have a charter to do buisness. Each Charter had to be renewed every five years or so. By forming Corpertions these Big Companies could aply to the Supreme Court and Declare they were Individule Persons by the meaning of Corperation.That being all officers of a said Company. IE: Pres.-Vice Pres.-General Mang.-Manger- and so on. Being granted first in N.J. and than Maryland it quickley spread across the country. Once able to side-step haveing to be chartered the could do business however they pleased. Being charted ment they had to show that they were good for the Country and it’s People. Not makeing things with our resources like minerals or Labor to use agienst the US or hinder it’s welfare.
        In 1910 the heads of these big Corps. and some of the Richest men in the World held a Priviet Meeting on an Island off the Georgia Coast called Jeckel Island. the meeting last 3 weeks. Three years after it was over that same group talked the Fedreal Goverment to let them form The Fedreal Reserve and take over the Currancey of the US. The year was 1913 and that was the real start of the trouble for this country. I have gone long enough. Hopefully they will post this Reply. You never know who realy controls the websites. PS:I know my spelling stinks, so save your breath…!!

      Denniso…..By all that’s reasonable….Kindly get your head out of the sand and observe what’s going on…..If your blinders won’t allow you to see the truth…..Well then, stick your head back down….You make no sense at all….You are part of the problem……”Common sense is not common”….. Mark Twain

      • Rod James

        CaptVitto, I’m not sure if Denniso’s head is in the sand or up his_ss
        but I do agree with you and Bob. Bob is doing a great service to real Americans and not the Blind Sheeple like Denniso by providing a forum to try and open the eyes of the country to what is Really going on.
        It may sound like violent talk but just as in the American Revoulution
        action may have to be taken to get the country back for the 99% of its people. Right now at least many more people are finding out how they are being fed half or untruths in the media and realizing that political manipulations Have been used before (under fascism & dictatorship).Also this 1% club has the decendents of the same families that financed the original taking of the New World for England and just as then they will surly kill anyone who threatens their stangle hold on our economies.

      • denniso

        This 1% controlling 99% is also factually wrong and ridiculous at the same time. If we count all the people who work for the various governments(city,county,state,feds) in the country,there are a lot more than 1% of the population. Is the guy/gal plowing your highways in the middle of a blizzard part of the 1% because they work for the county? How about the city workers digging ditches to fix a sewage pipe so you can conveniently flush your toilet every day?? Are they part of the evil,controlling 1%???

      • J C

        That’s a ridiculous question. It misses the entire point of the article and postings.

      • denniso

        J C…you must not have read the article. Livingston is railing against ‘the government’ controlling ‘the people’. The gov’t is made up of workers and legislators,who do indeed work for the gov’t. This demonizing of all things government is simplistic and idiotic.

      • JC

        You’re entitled to your opinion. I rail against government in a general way because there is simply too much of it. Far, far too many dependants. Far far too much power concentrated in the hands of too few people. It’s a parasite and its killing us. Don’t forget denniso,
        it wasn’t government that made America great, it was people. The downhil slide we are on…well “that” was created by government.
        It’s what they do best.

      • denniso

        There’s nothing wrong w/ debating the most efficient size and role of all gov’t's in our society. What’s wrong is for the right wing to blame all gov’t for all the problems we have..wrong and simplistic.
        I wonder if you don’t think that our fed gov’t had a major role in defeating Hitler? Didn’t the gov’t mobilize the people and nationalize industries and ration goods in the giant effort to fight the greatest evil of our time?? Wasn’t it Roosevelt(liberal that he was) who led the effort? W/o a large enough fed gov’t could we have stopped Nazism?? Could loosely organized and weak states have done it?
        Don’t think so…

If only they would go live in the countries they admire so much. the majority of the world is made of their kind of government, and life style. Why do they suffer to help all of us live by their standards. Truely, liberalism is a mental illness.

        For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

        I just wonder where all this hate and talk of violence was during the 8 yrs of Cheny/Bush…secret surveilance on Americans, 2 unfinished wars,billions of tax dollars wasted by price gouging American suppliers in the wars,a couple of trillion $$ added to our national debt,9/11 ocurring under Bush, the economic collapse starting under Bush,5,000+ American kids slaughtered under Bush w/ another 80,000 maimed, and still more neglect of the country under the 2 clowns.

        Did you rightwingers just wake up from a long sleep,or is it that you were just blindly loyal to your ‘conservative’ party,and now you get the chance to try to destroy a Dem president?
        The blatant hypocrisy of the right screaming that the sky is now following after 8 yrs of the worst administration in our history, is nothing but idiotic. If you fools want to continue blathering like this w/ no actual substance,well, at least we get a good laugh from it,though it sure makes most of you look like high school dropouts…sad…

        The crosshairs are on YOU! ha ha ha

      • Cribster

        You assume a lot. In your mind I would be considered a “right winger,” I couldn’t stand Bush! When can we stop talking about Bush?
        Obama and his administration full of freaks are a wrecking crew, the amount of damage they have done in one year is astounding, much of it irreparable. They are wreaking havoc today! Bush-is-not-in-office. If you can manage to get over your “Bush Derangement Syndrome” the truth will be much more evident.

        From reading your postings it sounds like you are regurgitating talking points rather than thinking for yourself. Take the blinders off.

        Denniso, you do have a point. I think you know I’m not an advocate for either of the major socialist parties. I’m a Libertarian who believes very much in the Constitution and American values. (Two things you know little or nothing about it would seem.) But you’re right, Bush should have been impeached for spying on us in our homes.
        They’re all working for the same puppeteers whether they wear a red tie or a blue tie.

      • denniso

        Crib…we can stop talking about Cheny/Bush when rightwingers quit blaming Obama and the Dems for the mess we’re in, and when the Repubs start joining the effort to dig the country out of the ditch and stop actively trying to demolish the country even more.

        J C…I’m glad you agree on the damage Bush did to the country,but you’re very wrong on my view and feelings for the constitution…and, just what are ‘American values’?? Are they what most humans live by?
        Work, family,country,clean environment,peace rather than war,helping our neighbors???

      • J C

        denniso, my idea of American Values is simple. Morality. Now one has to give that word some serious thought in order to see where it does and doesn’t apply to our present system. Let’s say I were to go door to door soliciting money to “organize and improve” the neighborhood and every time I approach someone’s door I tell them that everyone else I spoke with agrees and everyone else gave me money so they should too, so they do…then I spend some of that money to say, have the garbage hauled away, but mostly I keep the money and suggest that I didn’t get enough to do a good job so I need more. Is that moral?
        What if the next time I came around my request had the force of law behind it…and the implied violence that comes with enforcing that law…has it become moral yet? Probably not. What I have actually accomplished is legalized fraud.
        That’s one example and it’s a little abstract, but perhaps you get the drift.
        Our system of taxation is immoral. I believe user fees should be in place to support infrastructure (ie: on fuel, luxury items) and some damned good accounting to go with it. Leave people’s paychecks alone and they will create an economy that government control couldn’t even touch.

        I would argue that most people within this forum (including myself) are not cheerleaders for the Bush-Cheney 8 year reign of unconstitutionally driven war and loss or rights at home.

        So what’s your answer to America’s gradually imploding economic front? Do you feel that the accelerated drive of hyper-Keynesian stimulus and banker bailout is the way to go? One responder stated that the national debt is now over $13 trillion, when in fact I think it is now about $14.1 trillion? Do these staggering numbers concern you? And if they do (as they should!), what do you propose be done to reverse this trend toward greater and greater trillions of dollars of public debt? Do you feel that the fiat money system has had anything to do with our roughly 14 trillion dollar national debt? Why or why not?

      Bob—

      You do a service by providing blog space; I second your comment Time.

      Could we get something startedby listing three acts of oppression that are effecting Americans? We all have feelings about our gradual loss of freedom under growing governmental controls. Anyone wishing to pitch in please add your thoughts. I’ll list three and leave the rest to you all:

      1) Americans are losing their pensions to the trickery of BIG CORPORATE AMERICA SELL-OUTS, BAIL-OUTS, and other forms of thievery.

      2) OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ROBBED THE KITTY when loans were taken from SOCIAL SECURITY, never to be returned. The young will keep paying the old until the KITTY runs dry all-to-gether. The younger will not see a penny of their contributions by 2017 as reported by The Heritage Foundation and others.

      3) Our quest for better health insurance distribution has been handed to a congress that is so political that its members cannot get it straight. Why can’t a large think tank made up of many specialists and some lay people like you and me, get this problem behind us after we place a finished product before the American people for further discussion in smaller groups that will add, comment and contribute to a final resolution to be passed by Congress. Beware the legislator that votes against OUR FINAL DOCUMENT.

      Lastly, I sent these comments to the RNC, mind you I look for balance out of this hodge-podge 2700 page push to get a health care bill:

      Republican Committee:

      You have two votes in this house plus the rest of my family to count on as opponents to this one-sided, and dangerous health care plan. We know that this is one more way to make the American people subjects of total government control for all the, behind the scenes, planning to further place our Nation, not under Socialism, but Webster Dictionary defined Fascism–make no mistake about this.

      BIG GOVERNMENT + BIG BUSINESS WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE COMMON GOALS
      WHILE SUPPRESSING PRIVATE SECTOR ENTREPRENEURIALISM, AND GROSS NATIONAL CAPITAL GROWTH IS FASCISM.

      I am an independent. I vote my mind. I see this heart tug on our
      American people as a sham; entirely insincere, and without concern for the real GOAL that can bring health care to the Public; both fair and square.

      I believe that any politician that backs the “OBAMA CARE” plan to save our Nation through this strategy, will not be re-elected, nor will the Public listen to the Washington of today. Resistance will grow, and I will be part of that resistance.

      I have backed the Republican Party, NOT ALWAYS, throughout the 90′s. This Country can not progress with a Third Party–that is just wishful
      thinking. Again, we the people must choose sides—what is right, and
      what is wrong. I hope that the majority of our people will recognize, in their gut, the right side, not a party vote but a right decision.

      Thanks for the opportunity to express myself to all that will listen.

        WE ALL COULD USE A SPELL CHECK; SEVERAL SPELLING ERRORS–EFFECT SHOULD BE AFFECT IN THIS INSTANCE, AND SEVERAL OTHERS TOO–

        bEST WISHES TO ALL.

      • Harold Olsen

        Not to mention proofreading. And, you and several other need to learn how to turn off the caps lock on your keyboard. All caps, you remember, mean YELLING!

      • libertytrain

        George – spell check doesn’t usually check for the wrong word usage, just correct spelling.

      • Hello?

        Well, I guess that correct spelling or mistakes on a stupid comment makes all the difference, that is the trouble with this ignorant society, we worry about the insignificant things. Strain at a knat and swollow a Camel.

      • NitPicker

        The intended meaning in some of these is lost through poor typing, poor spelling and poor grammar.

        Our schools and present Education are also a problem.
