War Is a Racket by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC…

War is a racket. It always has been

 

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

 

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

Suddenly there was a loud commotion outside. Some of the men leaped up from their seats and ran to the windows positioned around the room. The young man I was talking with ran toward a window in the corner. He took one glance before he started waving and shouting for me to “Come here and look. This is what I was to tellin’ you about. Now you can see these goons in action for yourself.”

 

 

 

Ron Paul Re Homeschooling: The Future of Liberty…

Homeschooling: The Future of Liberty

 

 

 

A common feature of authoritarian regimes is the criminalization of alternatives to government-controlled education. Dictators recognize the danger that free thought poses to their rule, and few things promote the thinking of “unapproved” thoughts like an education controlled by parents instead of the state. That is why the National Socialist (Nazi) government of Germany outlawed homeschooling in 1938.

 

Sadly, these Nazi-era restrictions on parental rights remain the law in Germany, leaving parents who wish greater control over their children’s education without options. That is why in 2006 Uwe and Hannalore Romeike, a German couple who wanted to homeschool their three children for religious reasons, sought asylum in the United States. Immigration judge Lawrence Burman upheld their application for asylum, recognizing that the freedom of parents to homeschool was a “basic human right.”

Unfortunately, the current US administration does not see it that way, and has announced that it is appealing Judge Burman’s decision. If the administration is successful, the Romeikes could be sent back to Germany where they will be forced to send their children to schools whose teaching violates their religious beliefs. If they refuse, they face huge fines, jail time, or even the loss of custody of their children!

A Run on the Fed? Watch out for the cache of gold kept in the basement of the Federal Reserve Bank

It would be way overstating things to suggest that there could be a run on the cache of gold that is kept in the basement of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. But in the wake of reports that Germany is undertaking a program to remove its gold from the Fed and return it to Germany, a bill has been introduced in the legislature of Texas to move the state’s gold bars held at a private bank in New York and transfer them to a depository in the Lone Star State.

 

The bill has been introduced at Austin by Representative Giovanni Capriglione. It would establish a depository in Texas itself for the state’s specie. It has been endorsed by Governor Perry. And Texas most famous former congressman, Ron Paul, has just sent us a cheerful telegram saying that if the bill passes, he’ll volunteer to go with Mr. Perry to “pick up our gold” — so long as the “governor brought along his body guards and the Texas Rangers.”

 

The measure introduced by Mr. Capriglione, a Republican of Southlake, is designed to bring back to Texas gold bars that the Texas Tribune reckons would fetch $1 billion. The Tribune reports they are owned by the University of Texas Investment Management Company, or UTIMCO. A report in the Washington Post and of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee says the gold Texas wants to bring home is on deposit in New York with a facility of HSBC.

Have you ever wondered why Fascism essentially socialism and Nazism again, essentially socialism are considered to be right-wing political philosophies? It’s because the left-wing and its obedient lap-dog, the MSM, have gone to great lenghts to recast them as right-wing philosophies.In an effort to create as much distance as possible between Hitler and his socialist principles, Hitler has deliberately been mislabeled as extreme right wing by the socialist movement.

gophum (Photo credit: GunnyG1345)

Adolf Hitler and his National Socialists the Nazi party represented extreme left wing politics. Leftists are quick to cite the fact that one of Hitler’s first actions was to get rid of the leftist socialists & trade unions. But what leftists fail to point out is that the socialists & trade unions were comprised of and led by communists, the main enemy, according to Hitler, of Germany. They also cite that Hitler, in 1919, attended a German Workers Party GWP meeting.

Singer Tony Bennett Equates Isolated Gun Violence to Nazi Germany, Fears Foreign Invasion

Tony Bennett is one of America‘s most popular singers but he has proven once again that talent in the arts is no predictor of intelligence.

At a Wednesday press conference, the outspoken pacifist and ardent Democrat Bennett compared isolated gun deaths in the U.S. to Nazi concentration camps and said that if America did not do something to curtail violence in this country, the other countries would “take care of us in a really bad way,” just like they did in World War II to the Germans. Bizarre video and story below.

 

In a subsequent interview with CNN, Bennett declined to defend his comments but he did not distance himself from them either. Here’s what he said in full at the conference:

Only One Solution to the Fed Debt Trap

by Rand Clifford

mussobama (Photo credit: GunnyG1345)

The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs lists the oldest written version of the saying “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” as coming from playwright George Pettie’s Petit Palace in 1576:

“So long as I know it not, it hurteth me not.”

Several Rothschild-controlled centuries later, what Americans don’t know about “the Fed” may be fatal.

The Fed gained control of America’s money in 1913. Government debt now soars toward $17 trillion. Interest paid to service this debt, for the year 2011 alone, was $454,393,280,417.03, largely funneled by the Fed to eight international banking families:

Rothschild’s of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seaf of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of Germany and New York; Warburg & Company of Hamburg, Germany; Lehman Brothers of New York; Goldman, Sachs of New York; Rockefeller Brothers of New York.

‘Obama’s Enemies List’: An Indispensable Book For All Conservatives

Picture this:

 

Secret agents patrolling the streets with a massive web of neighborhood snitches feeding them information about all those who oppose the Leader.

 

Intimidation by any means necessary for anyone who opposes anything deemed good for the State.

 

We’re talking about 1930s Germany, right?

 

English: Barack Obama delivers a speech at the University of Southern California (Video of the speech) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

 

 

 

 

Nope. Try 2009 and 2010 when Barack Obama was ramming socialized medicine—what later became known as ObamaCare—down the throats of Americans.

 

Team Obama regularly sent out emails to his millions of supporters that made Hitler’s Brown Shirts in 1930s Germany pale in comparison to the number of agents.

 

 

 

As Floyd Brown’s new conservative blockbuster Obama’s Enemies List: How Barack Obama Intimidated America and Stole the Election describes it:

 

 

 

Obama put out a call to the youth of America and told them he needed their help. He needed them to be strong, and loyal, and “turn in” anybody who wasn’t shouting “yes we can” to a “fundamentally changed America.” The president’s team went all in on the initiative. A website was launched. Social media leaders were mobilized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Young people and old were “authorized” to listen in on conversations with family members, friends at coffeehouses, strangers on the subway. And if anything “suspect” was overheard, these newly deputized enforcement officers were to send an email to flag@whitehouse.gov, and rest easy again knowing those high-level functionaries in the White House would take appropriate action.

 

She survived Hitler and wants to warn America – On the Front Lines of the Culture Wars

Kitty Werthmann survived Hitler.

“What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard or read in history books,” she likes to tell audiences.

“I am a witness to history.

“I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history.

Adolph Hitler

“We voted him in.”

If you remember the plot of the Sound of Music, the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn’t so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching.

“We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls.

She wasn’t old enough to vote in 1938 – approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.

“Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.”

No so.

Wearing a government suit doesn’t make it so, says Laurence Vance. In the essay below, Vance wrote: “This means that not only are U.S. troops off the hook for killing tens of thousands of people in Iraq and Afghanistan (and millions in Germany, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam), but that German soldiers who killed Polish, Russian, British, French, and American soldiers in World War II did nothing legitimate. It also means that Japanese soldiers in World War II did not sin when they killed Chinese or American soldiers.

Vance Recently by Laurence M. Vance: Do Soldiers Imitate Christ? Is killing another human being ever justifiable? Is committing acts of violence ever permissible? Is murder ever legitimate? In an otherwise good article on self-defense, “The Use of Deadly Force in Self-Defense,” a Christian writer in the Berean Searchlight looses his way when he brings up the subject of killing in war. Here are the relevant paragraphs: War is another area where the taking of human life is legitimate in the eyes of God. When the soldiers asked John the Baptist, “And what shall we do?” it is true that John advised them to “do violence to no man” (Luke 3:14). However, these instructions must be considered in light of the fact that he did not insist that these soldiers quit being soldiers. This means that.............. MORE!!!!!

I was pretty surprised to receive this message back. He and I had not talked in almost a year before I sent him a message that day. It’s not that we hadn’t talked that long out of spite, it’s just because he was in the Marines and stationed in California and I was in Germany.

 

We went our separate ways but we were still friends as far as I knew. I was also curious how he knew I was out because none of my buddies had talked to him in a while and none told him I was out. I think the only way he knew was a post I posted on Facebook saying I was happy to be out. I was perplexed also because when I went to message him it said we were no longer friends. Maybe this should have been foreshadowing to what he was about to send me.

The Hitler Myth

Historic attachments to heroic leadership combined with a mastery of propaganda techniques to mesmerise Germany into acceptance of the charismatic authority offered by the Nazi ‘Fuhrer’.

Adolf Hitler, head-and-shoulders portrait, facing slightly left (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

For almost a decade after 1933, Hitler enjoyed a remarkable degree of popularity among the great majority of the German people. However dramatic and spectacular his political career, concentration on Hitler’s character and personality – in some respects bizarre, in others downright mediocre and wholly unpleasant – can nevertheless do little to explain the magnetism of his popular appeal. Nor can his extraordinary impact on the German people in these years be accounted for satisfactorily by seeing in Hitler’s personal Weltanschauung (notably in his obsessions with the ‘Jewish Question‘ and with Lebensraum) a mirror image of the motivation of Nazism‘s mass following. Recent research has done much to qualify such assumptions, suggesting too that even deep into the period of the dictatorship itself Hitler’s own ideological fixations had more of a symbolic than concrete meaning for most Nazi supporters.

Posted by Ann Barnhardt – November 13, AD 2012 9:59 AM MST

First, a history lesson: Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Hitler then moved quickly to marginalize and then dispense entirely with the German Legislature, the Reichstag, and to effectively eliminate all political parties other than the National Socialist (Nazi) Party.

The last step in Hitler’s quest for total, dictatorial power was the purging of the German military of any factions that were in any way autonomous and not 100% loyal to him, specifically the SA (Sturmabteilung, which means Storm Detachment).

Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in Munich, Germany, ca. 06/1940 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The SA was run by Ernst Rohm, who, like most of the founding and high-level members of the Nazi Party and eventually the Third Reich, was a homosexual ephebophile (preferring teenaged boys). In fact, Rohm was a militant and vocal homosexual in the spirit of the ancient Greeks and musloids who believed that women were sub-human and that truly masculine men only had sex with other men and boys.

Prelude to World War I by Ralph Raico

GyGRet (Photo credit: GunnyG1345)

 

This chapter is a much expanded version of an essay that originally appeared in The Costs of War: America’s Pyrrhic Victories (2001).

 

 

 

 

With the World War mankind got into a crisis with which nothing that happened before in history can be compared…. In the world crisis whose beginning we are experiencing, all peoples of the world are involved…. War has become more fearful because it is waged with all the means of the highly developed technique that the free economy has created…. Never was the individual more tyrannized than since the outbreak of the World War and especially of the world revolution. One cannot escape the police and administrative technique of the present day.

 

Ludwig von Mises (1919)[1]

 

The Christian Nonvoter by Jim Fedako… (“Now, if a truly good man was on the ballot, such as the one who ran in my state primary (Ron Paul), I would have no issue with voting However, when faced with a lesser of evils option, I will make my “no” a “no” and vote for none. And I will let evil takes its course… “)

 

Enough with the moral indignation. I am not votingfor president, plain and simple.

GyGRet (Photo credit: GunnyG1345)

Whenever I mention my stance on voting, many of my fellow Christians are taken aback – horrified. I typically get a knee-jerk response along the lines of, “When good people don’t vote, evil triumphs.” As a Christian who believes in God’s word, I can dismiss such comments out of hand. Evil exists, that is true, but my vote will not bind Satanin chains.

than a military policy against Russia, but rather as a grand metaphysical struggle that should take over our minds and souls, as bizarre as that must sound to the current generation.

 

His words were Wilsonian, even messianic. The job of U.S. military policy is to “foster progress in human achievement” and enhance “dignity and integrity” the world over. That’s a rather expansive role for government by any standard. But he went further. An enemy stands in the way of achieving this dream, and this enemy is “global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method.” This great struggle “commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings.”

Tracing the roots of “progressive education” back to European ideals of totalitarianism

One of the most dangerous aspects of progressivism is the stranglehold they have upon the educational system. None of the ideas they have are new, some may be modern spins on old ideals, but these ultimately go back a long, long way.

John Dewey is very well known as the father of modern education, but Dewey himself cites Mann as the “patron saint of progressive education”. This makes Mann an important figure to be readily knowledgable about, as well as the roots of his beliefs.

Letter to Stars and Stripes magazine on Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.)

By Col. George Jatras (Ret.)

October 17, 2002

The article “Still no decision on Kosovo medal” (Oct. 8) said

“Pentagon brass” ensured a waiver was granted so that Gen. Wesley Clark

received the Kosovo Campaign Medal, the first one minted, at his

retirement ceremony in 2000. The waiver was necessary because Gen.

Clark’s service didn’t meet the criteria for the award, even though he

led the international alliance in its “78-day blitz” against Yugoslavia.

An earlier article, “Army can’t explain how Clark got medal” (June 16,

2001) said, “The Army is at a loss to explain who granted a waiver

awarding retired Gen. Wesley Clark the Kosovo Campaign Medal,” and that,

“After four months of repeated queries, Army officials say they’re still

not sure who approved the medal.”

Rudolf Hess: The Führer’s Deputy | Veterans Today

Until just a few weeks ago, an old man’s bones lay buried in a family grave in an impeccably kept cemetery in a Bavarian town called Wunsiedel. His name was Rudolf Hess. Born 1894, he suffered a mysterious death in 1987 at age 93.

WWII British Report: Hitler Developed ‘Jewish Phobia’

Unknown secret wartime report from 1942 reveals Hitler’s unstable mental state as tide was turning in allies’ favor. Analysis suggests Hitler’s growing fear of defeat, belief he was leading crusade against Jewish people

A secret report, previously unknown to historians, has given readers insight regarding the mental state of Adolf Hitler. According to the report, which was published in the British Guardian Newspaper on Friday, in 1942, British intelligence officers were tracking Adolf Hitler’s “messiah complex” and his belief that he was leading a crusade against Jewish people.

The analysis of Hitler’s mental state, was uncovered by a Cambridge University researcher, Scott Anthony. He found a report commissioned by the social scientist Mark Abrams, who worked in the psychological warfare division of the allied expeditionary force during the Second World War.

All Hail the Narcissist-In- Chief! « « Coach is RightCoach is Right

Jim Emerson staff writer In August of 1934 members the Wehrmacht were required to recite a Reichswehreid, an oath of personal allegiance to Adolf Hitler. This oath ignored God and country but swore an oath to a man, Adolf Hitler.

The soldiers were to fight and die on the behalf of the dear leader. Such loyalty oaths originated in ancient Rome and have been repeated throughout history and to different tyrants.

Obama It is a rumor that Obama wishes the members of the American military would swear and an oath to him over God and the Constitution.

But in his narcissist mindset he truly believes the military serves at his whim. In an ABC interview concerning his flip-flop on Gay marriage he said “when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ is gone,”

Why the Health Nazis are on the March

They say “Jolly is the fat man,” but perhaps not when he’s being chased (and, I’m sure, caught) like a Frankenstein monster by the Body Cult crazies. And that is the case today, as it has become fashionable to affront the friendly-fronted.

It seems most anything goes now: bloated houses, bloated egos, bloated libidos, bloated bureaucracies, bloated government—except bloated bellies. And a perusal of the news makes this clear, with a never-ending stream of stories about obesity this and obesity that. For example, headlining Drudge the other day was a piece about how fathead officials in Massachusetts propose to ban school bake sales—even before and after school hours—to combat obesity.

World War II: The Last Constitutionally Declared War… (Well, Not Exactly…)

Freedom Betrayed, by Herbert Hoover

It is often cited by defenders of the Constitution that the last properly declared U.S. war was the Second World War. There are a couple of facts that are pretty solid for those who take this viewpoint. On December 8, 1941, President Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war with Japan; on December 11 he asked for a declaration against Germany and Italy. Congress approved these and thus was war declared.

So why question these irrefutable facts? Where is the “not exactly” in these events? I guess it depends on what the definition of “war” is.

Portrait of a Failed “Messiah” By Alan Caruba (“What we have come to learn is that he is a liar. He lies even when he does not have to and he lies all the time”)

“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

If you think this is a psychological profile of Barack Obama, you would be wrong. It is a quote from a profile of Adolph Hitler, prepared for the Office of Strategic Services—the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency—by Walter C. Langer and three others during World War II.

 

The fact that it rather closely resembles aspects of Obama’s personality we have come to know would be cause for alarm if we were living in the 1930s at the time of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany, but this is a very different time and the U.S. Constitution is still a powerful instrument.

It was meticuloulsy documented in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America. Also, check out my article in The American Thinker, “Obama’s Foreign Donors: The media averts its eyes.” It was feckless, reckless and lawless. Worse, Obama got away with it. All of it.

Those of us who believe in constitutional government, the Bill of Rights, personal liberty, and State autonomy are beginning to taste what German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and pastor Martin Niemoller experienced back in 1930′s Germany. These two great lovers of God and freedom were ostracized and eventually persecuted by both Germany’s political and social societies and by “German Christians.” History does have a way of repeating itself, doesn’t it?

Anyone who does not recognize that America is rapidly being transformed into a fascist state is as dumb as Balaam’s ass. No, dumber! At least the ass had the sense to stop when it realized it was heading smack into God’s wrath.

For all intents and purposes, the US Constitution is dead; the Bill of Rights is dead; the vision of the Founding Fathers is dead; and federalism and republicanism are also dead. What we have left is a blend of socialism, welfarism, fascism, statism, and warfarism, with fascism becoming the dominant “ism” of the bunch.

If you want to know where America is quickly heading, go watch the movie “The Hunger Games,” currently playing in theaters everywhere. Or read Orwell’s “1984,” or Huxley’s “Brave New World.” Or better yet, take your eyes off ESPN just long enough to take a good look outside. America, as “the land of the free,” is disappearing. It is already unrecognizable from the country I grew up in, not to mention the country that our Founding Fathers fought and died to create. What happened in fascist Germany is happening right now in America.

Communism Comes To America Earlier Than We Think | revisedhistory

By Al Benson Jr.

Recently I read an article by someone with the interesting nom de plume of Bionic Mosquito. It was called Communism Comes to America and was about a book written by Herbert Hoover in which Hoover warned of the Communist threat to this country during the Roosevelt administration.

According to Hoover we should have stayed out of World War 2 and let Germany and Russia slog it out with each other. I can’t disagree with that. Someone recently sent me an email about this article and his comment was that we “fought World War 2 to make the world safe for Communism.” He’s right. Although most folks don’t want to think about that, it is the real reason we fought the war. All you have to do is look at who got what out of the war and it makes sense.

The Roosevelt administration was riddled with Communists and their fellow travelers in the State Department, the Department of Agriculture, and many other departments. If you doubt this I would invite you to read The Web of Subversion by James Burnham or While You Slept–Our Tragedy in Asia and Who Made It by John T. Flynn, and you might want to read that classic by Whittaker Chambers Witness..

All these will give you a picture of the Roosevelt administration many folks would rather not have but need to be aware of anyway.

(“The man who isn’t our legitimate president once again is targeting those who served… one goal of the increased fees is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out… “) Devvy Kidd — Veterans about to get shafted by the illegitimate president

English: Barack Obama signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at the White House (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The man who isn’t our legitimate president once again is targeting those who served in uniform either at home or for the lucrative and insane non-declared wars over the past 50 years.

For the sake of full disclosure, my husband is a retired U.S. Army Colonel who served honorably for 27 years. He served in Viet Nam as well as assignments in Germany and the Pentagon. While John was active duty, he had medical coverage. When he detached, we paid for our medical coverage and still do with TriCare.

Like millions of other service members, at the time he enlisted, John was made promises regarding health care. All those written promises have been broken. The poltroons in the Outlaw Congress have no problem sending our troops into harm’s way and when they come home mangled, maimed or with mental trauma, the issue becomes money to take care of them. For old soldiers like John, the premiums are not as high as the private sector; that is a fact. Had John been killed while in uniform, the taxpayers would have saved money. John was also forced into Medicare, which picks up part of his medical costs with more borrowed debt thanks to every single incumbent in the U.S. Congress.

Obama/Soetoro has never served in the military. As a matter of fact, how many remember this photo:

That photo is real from an Iowa stir fry event. Snopes.com tried to down play it, but that web site has proven to be biased for Barry Soetoro. What? Barry missed the part about now we’re going to do the National Anthem? It should be a poster on every fence post in this country.

Trashing Tricare

Obama to cut healthcare benefits for active duty and retired US military

“The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.

“The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.

“The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon’s $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.

“Many in Congress are opposing the proposed changes, which would require the passage of new legislation before being put in place.

Heil Hollywood: The Los Angeles Bunker From Which Hitler Planned to Run Nazi Empire After the War

Daily Mail ^ | 18 March 2012

It sounds like the bizzare script of a Hollywood B-movie. In a parallel universe the Nazis have won the war, Adolf Hitler moves to LA where he mingles with the stars of the silver screen while running his evil empire from a luxurious ranch deep in the LA hills.

But during the 1930s, American sympathisers were so confident this exact scenario was actually going happen they spent millions building a deluxe compound ready for their fuhrer’s imminent arrival.

Equipped with a diesel power plant, 375,000 gallon concrete water tank , giant meat locker, 22 bedrooms and even a bomb shelter, the heavily guarded estate was home to a community of Hollywood fascists who hoped to ride out the war there.

Which is scarier?

Through the ages, the idea of soldiers barging into homes, pillaging, raping and killing, has stricken fear into the hearts of the oppressed.

Before and during the Wars of Independence in Scotland, English lords and their forces plucked defenseless women from their homes, killed everyone else, then burned the structures to the ground.

During the US Civil War, militia in search of food and supplies invaded the homes of unprotected women and children.

Back in Nazi Germany, folks lived in fear of jackbooted thugs kicking in their doors and searching their homes to find contraband or hidden fugitives.

Since 1968, the armed forces of the United States has been actively practicing Civil Disturbance Planning in conjunction with the police and the National Guard.

Even today, the US military practices kicking down civilian doors while executing drills in Germany in a facility in Baumholder designed to be similar to an American apartment building.

“Words have meaning. My perspective on life was altered when I came to that realization. We live in a nation where we believe every “expert.”

We have been trained to listen, but not to think.We share a common language, but we do not realize that words mean different things to different people. For a greater perspective, read my commentary Change the Words, Change the World.I used to think that the term “pro-life” meant that a person was against abortion.

Sorry Charlie. Most “pro-lifers” are pro-choice…they just think that “life” is the “correct” choice. They do not hate abortion and do not fight to outlaw it.That’s why so many politicians claim to be “Pro-Life,” yet abortion remains legal.

Republicans tend to be “Pro-Life,” but they don’t really want to stop the butchering of babies.But we think they do. We think “Pro-Life” means “stop abortion.” It doesn’t.“

IS A DICTATORSHIP ALREADY UPON US?

by Dr. Laurie Roth, ©2012, Presidential Candidate

At the last meeting of the German Reichstag on March 23, 1933, Otto Wels was the only vocal objector to Hitler‘s Enabling Act, which ushered in the Nazi takeover of Germany

(Feb. 22, 2012) — History repeats itself again and again because most of us never learn how to confront evil in time to make a real difference. When we do recognize and attack evil, we forget the cost and the battle shortly thereafter. We become distracted with the pressures and diversions of life.

Evil is here and this is our chance to make a bold stand….not later.

America has been viciously assaulted and flipped off with the passing of the Obamacare bill, HR 3200, in March 2010 and the NDAA Bill signed into law Dec. 31st 2011. Both bills are completely unconstitutional, immoral, unethical, dangerous, intrusive, communistic and dictatorial. Any questions?

25 Signs That The Nazification Of America Is Almost Complete

The United States of America is becoming more like Nazi Germany every single day. In fact, the Nazification of America is almost complete.

The parallels between Nazi Germany and the United States of today are going to absolutely shock many of you. Most Americans simply have never learned what life was really like back in Nazi Germany.

Under Adolf Hitler, Germany was a Big Brother totalitarian police state that ruthlessly repressed freedom and individual liberty. Under Adolf Hitler, Germany adopted socialism, dramatically increased government spending and raised taxes to astronomical levels. Under Adolf Hitler, abortion became legal in Germany, the government took over health care and Christianity was pushed out of the public schools and out of public life.

Leni Riefenstahl: Congratulations on the HHS Regulations (Re FR Agenda 21 Ping List)

Memo: From Leni RiefenstahlTo: President Barack ObamaSchatzi, it’s been over a year since I last wrote you. Please forgive me. It’s been so hot here I can barely stand to touch the keyboard. Not that I don’t appreciate the green energy projects you funded to cool off this place, but dear, you know even with the trillions you spent, those projects just keep going under.

Yes, I know it helped put billions in the pockets of your donors, but hell is not freezing over you know and we could use energy for the air conditioners.Anyway, I forced myself to endure the scorching temperatures and pitchforks to congratulate you on those brilliant HHS regulations forcing people to fund insurance coverage for abortions, sterilizations and birth control against their consciences.Darling Adolf just loved to do that sort of thing. Remember — are you old and well read enough to remember?

He figured out that if he could get people to operate against their conscience on small things, big things like Judenrein would be easier. Of course, that was just a start.Martin Bormann said it just right: “National Socialism and Christianity are irreconcilable.” For the party to rule, he said the Churches’ influence in the leadership of the people “must absolutely and finally be broken.

” He was taking about the Nazi party, but heavens, Democrats, Nazis — state control is state control.So, this move by your Administration is just a great first step. You had all the social justice crowd in the church supporting you ,and now those wicked bishops — how many divisions do they have anyway? — had to step in to try to put a stop to this……
