MY RESPONSE TO M.I.A.C. REPORT By Chuck Baldwin

By now, readers should be familiar with the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report dated 02/20/09 and titled, “MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement.” In this dreadfully malicious and slanderous “law enforcement sensitive” secret police report, Governor Jeremiah (Jay) Nixon; John Britt, Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety; James Keathley, Colonel, Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Van Godsey, Director of MIAC categorize certain citizens as being potential violence-prone “militia members.” I would venture to guess that more than 75% of the entire population of the United States would fit the MIAC’s broad definition of someone who would fall into the aforementioned category.

We have been trained to learn lies for decades. Just ask the average American when our Declaration of Independence was signed, and they will tell you it was July 4, 1776. The truth is that the Declaration was not actually signed until Aug. 3 of that year.

Ask the average American citizen who was our first elected president and they will tell you George Washington. Truth be told, John Hanson was our first president…….

With any luck, the economy will never recover.

In a perfect world, the stock market would decline another 70 or 80 percent along with the shuttering of about that fraction of our nation’s banks. Yes, unemployment would rise as hundreds of thousands of formerly well-paid brokers and bankers lost their jobs; but at least they would no longer be extracting wealth at our expense. They would need to be fed, but that would be a lot cheaper than keeping them in the luxurious conditions they’re enjoying now. Even Bernie Madoff costs us less in jail than he does on Park Avenue.

Alas, I’m not being sarcastic. If you had spent the last decade, as I have, reviewing the way a centralized economic plan ravaged the real world over the past 500 years, you would appreciate the current financial meltdown for what it is: a comeuppance. This is the sound of the other shoe dropping; it’s what happens when the chickens come home to roost; it’s justice, equilibrium reasserting itself, and ultimately a good thing.

America’s War on Americans

March 23 , 2009

Edgar J. Steele’s Nickel Rant Internet radio show returns this week with a provocative edition entitled “We’re All Terrorists Now.” We will examine the most recent assault upon personal rights and liberties, this time by the federal government and the State of Missouri, who now claim that:

• You are a terrorist if you defend the US Constitution.
• You are a terrorist if you oppose gun confiscation.
• You are a terrorist if you oppose illegal immigration.
• Flying an American flag can make you a terrorist.
• Oppose abortion?  You’re a terrorist.
• Support Ron Paul?  You’re a terrorist.
• Vote for Constitution or Libertarian Party candidates?  Yep, you’re a terrorist.

The Communization of a President

by Al Benson Jr.

Very recently, a Christian friend in Georgia sent me some information about a website called The Obama File (link at end of this article) that I feel all thinking Americans, North and South, should really take time to go and look at. It is an in depth look at the current president of the United States and just how far to the left he really is. I went into this website and checked out just one section of the info on him, the section on his political views. That section, alone, covered 93 pages. I can only imagine how much material is covered in the other sections.

Mr. Obama may not be a Communist, but he is the closest thing to it that you can possibly be without actually being one. His political views are on the extreme left, which I am sure most Americans, thanks to our prostitute press, have no real conception of.

The Obama File states the following: “Barack Obama was born of Marxists; mentored by a communist writer and activist; spent his college days hanging around radical activists; worked as a radical community organizer, learning the radical tactics of the communist, Alinsky; attended a radical church; was introduced to Chicago politics by a communist in the home of another communist;  and today lends his political skills to the international goals of radical activists, and had radicals working on his campaign and in his administration.” Not exactly a glowing commendation!

WND: SCOTUS Monitoring Kansas Blog Over Eligibility

WorldNetDaily reported this weekend that a Kansas-based blog, MsPlacedDemocrat.com, has been frequented by someone at the Supreme Court:

Having done a “tracert” on 209.144.137.1 certainly does show this particular IP address to be originating from washington.savvis.net. Further, sitemeter.com — the “software” to which the article refers — is a very good web-based service used by many sites to track many different aspects of web traffic to and from one’s site. I have similarly just begun using sitemeter.com for this site, though I’ve been using my own internal, back-end WordPress plugins to track things as well as Google’s Analytics tool.

What I will caution my readers on, however, is that all that the IP confirms is that someone is using the Supreme Court’s account to look at web pages; we do not know, simply based on the above statistical analysis, whether or not it’s an actual Justice (which I highly doubt, for a number of reasons). Further, the last digit in the IP address is a “1,” and typically most PCs or Macs that use the Internet from within a given account are not assigned such a low number. In other words, this could very well be what’s known as a gateway or router into the SCOTUS offices or other facility.

Gunny G: Watched 60 Minutes Tonight-Haven’t Done That In A Long Time….

Watched 60′ tonite–haven’t done that in a long time.

I recall all the crooks, politicians, and basturds in general that 60′ has interviewed through the years only to see a 60′ update some time later indicating that John Law had locked up the interviewee–usually as a direct result or partly because of the interview.

The question always comes up, why in the world did he/she consent to the interview knowing that such people so frequently end up in the slammer as a result?

Many times the same question, many times the same answer–because he couldn’t resist it, and besides, he thought he could get away with it.

Yeah.

Tonite they interviewed the… potus.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, farewell address, Sep. 19, 1796

” If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation ; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.”

Explosive new Rasmussen report: Americans want Obama to accept Geithner’s resignation or boot him

The Collins Report ^ | March 23, 2009 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 9:16:11 AM by jmaroneps37

An explosive new Rasmussen report screams, “America wants Tim Geithner dumped!”

Washington insiders both Democrats and Republicans (including McCain of course) love him, but we want him gone. The disconnect between Washington and real America on Geithner is startlingly large.

The gang on Capital Hill might be fooled or afraid to say otherwise, but average Americans aren’t. The latest telephone survey tells a very different story. Only 12% of taxpaying Americans have a favorable opinion of Geithner and only 11% said his job performance so far is good or excellent.

Tax cheat Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was appointed without any genuine qualifications. Now only Obama’s incompetence overshadows his own bungling ineptitude.

His “deer in the headlights” reaction to Barack Obama’s recession has exposed him as a fraud. When his tax cheating and employing an illegal alien is added to his inability to improve things, Main Street doesn’t like him and wants him gone.

Rasmussen reports the chasm between Washington and Main Street is huge and irreparable. The Washington crowd thinks Geithner is doing a fine job. More than 3 of 4 have a favorable opinion of him with two thirds saying he is doing a good or excellent job handling Obama’s recession. Three quarters of Americans think otherwise.

Among all respondents, his favorable/unfavorable numbers are sharply different at 24/44, but his “good or excellent” versus “poor” ratings are still worse.

On the question of whether Geithner’s work could be described as POOR, 53% of real Americans tagged Tax Cheat Tim with that rating and NOT A SINGLE politician used it.

Whether Geithner will resign or be fired is now a question of how quickly Obama throws him under the bus, which may be soon. If Obama threw his White grandmother between the Greyhound’s wheels, Geithner should keep his bags packed.

Tea parties – give me a break, -Boortz…

OK .. I’m going to make some people mad with this one, but would you folks please put this asinine “tea party” idea to rest? I’m just a wee-bit tired of hearing excited stories about people sending tea bags to their congressmen. Sorry … but how LAME!

Not trying to rain on your parade .. but you’re taking the easy way out here. “Hey, we’re in a jam, but I DID something! I mailed a tea bag to my congressman! When the history of the 21st century is told I’m going to be right there because I mailed a tea bag!”

Over two hundred years ago young patriots dragged their naked feet down icy roads – leaving a trail of blood – to fight for independence. And you’re sending tea bags. Put a tea bag in the mail and your job is done.

We Are Exactly Who the Founders Were Trying to Protect Us From

Texas Republic News ^ | March 21, 2009 | Bill Keffer

Posted on Sunday, March 22, 2009 5:43:25 PM by CHEE

In American history and government classes across this country, we still teach our children that our founding fathers demonstrated genius both in articulating the inalienable rights belonging to each person in our Declaration of Independence, and then in preserving those rights in our Constitution.

Their sole and emphatic purpose in imposing a system of checks and balances among the three branches of the federal government was to prevent the accumulation of power; and in imposing a system of federalism between the national and state governments to prevent the usurpation of authority rightfully belonging to the states or to the people. The genius, then, was not only in proclaiming the natural rights of man, but also in acknowledging the need to protect those rights from man’s natural desire for power.

A Constitutionally Illiterate Congress

Canada Free Press ^ | March 23, 2009 | Nancy Salvato

Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 8:33:34 AM by Scanian

The definition of a citizen is one who is ruled and can rule in turn. We must have the capacity for both under the law. All citizens must be able to take the following oath of office:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.”

Sadly, in today’s day and age, those elected to our legislature do not have to understand the law to represent their electors. Consequently, this Congress has proven to be the most constitutionally illiterate group of people ever elected to office.

OPRAH IS HARPO ON VIOLENT WOMEN by Marc H. Rudov

March 23, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Oprah Winfrey is increasing domestic violence in America. By being Harpo — remaining silent — on the truth about violent women, she unwittingly perpetuates the problem. Repeatedly excusing women’s culpability and unfairly blaming men only serves to foment this pernicious societal scourge.

On March 19, 2009, Oprah aired an anti-male show about domestic violence (DV), to capitalize on the biggest news story: Rihanna. Oprah holds men totally responsible for both causing and ending DV. Outrageous! Nowhere on her show was mention of all-too-common incidents of female violence such as those involving actress Kelly Bensimon and NFL player Geno Hayes.

Instead, Oprah stridently cautioned her female audience: If he hits, he’ll hit again. Fair enough. Missing from her mantra, though, was: Never hit a man — out of anger, revenge, jealousy, hormone imbalance, or any reason whatsoever! Also absent from Oprah’s show was a reciprocal warning to men: If she hits, she’ll hit again.

Acceptable Marginalization of Men

Why is the DV situation so unfair & unbalanced? Americans — especially male citizens, talkshow hosts, journalists, politicians, and judges — not only trivialize female-on-male violence, they laugh at it.

[NOTE: In “One On One: Regulating the Pursuit of Self” (Jerusalem Post, February 4, 2009), Amitai Etzioni states: “There is no philosophy that better describes Obama’s position than Communitarianism,” which Etzioni defines as a term “that would speak for community and the common good.” (In his March 4, 1801 inaugural address, while referring to majority rule and minority rights, Thomas Jefferson was the first president to refer to the “common good.”) Interestingly, Etzioni in his The Essential Communitarian Reader (p. ix) said the term was coined in 1841 by John Goodwyn Barmby, who founded the Universal Communitarian Association (originally called the Communist Propaganda Society). In Dana Milbank’s “Needed: Catchword for Bush Ideology; ‘Communitarianism’ Finds Favor” (The Washington Post, February 1, 2001), Etzioni was quoted as saying George W. Bush’s Inaugural Address was “a Communitarian Text.”

WILL CONGRESS WIPE OUT HOME GARDENS, GROWERS MARKETS? By Sarah Foster

The Internet’s buzzing about a bill in Congress its sponsor and supporters say is vital for protecting consumers from food-borne illnesses, but critics claim would place all U.S. food production “from farm to fork” under control of federal bureaucrats, effectively destroying family farms and farmers markets in the process and hijacking the burgeoning organic food movement.

http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news133.htm

“This bill will not just sweep up commercial food operations,” warns Tom DeWeese, who heads the American Policy Center in Virginia, in a Sledgehammer Alert, “[It] will subject hobby gardeners, home canners, anyone with a few chickens, or anyone who ‘holds, stores, or transports food’ … to registration, extensive management, and inspection by a huge new bureaucracy, the Food Safety Administration, even if the food items will only be consumed personally.”

Today I am on my way to Washington, DC, so I won’t have another column for a couple of weeks. As we continue to wade through the continuing nightmare coming from the crooks and incompetent serving in Congress, let’s start with some good news.

Kentucky, March 19, 2009

“Five Clay County officials, including the circuit court judge, the county clerk, and election officers were arrested Thursday after they were indicted on federal charges accusing them of using corrupt tactics to obtain political power and personal gain.

“The 10-count indictment, unsealed Thursday, accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002 until November 2006 that violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO is a federal statute that prosecutors use to combat organized crime. The defendants were also indicted for extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters’ rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud.
