OCCUPY WALL STREET POLL
Do you agree with the views of the Occupy protesters?
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a protest movement which began September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, which was initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters. The protests are against social and economic inequality, high unemployment, greed, as well as corruption, and the undue influence of corporations—particularly from the financial services sector—on government.

The Political Lie Detector
from Wednesday, Mar 12 2008
Remember 2008...
Authors Stephen Covey, Bill George and Martha Beck teach lessons on finding your moral compass, true north or northstar respectively. Their focus is to take life’s challenges and place them into proper perspective while finding what is right and true for your life, thus reaching your highest potential and purpose. A personal search for the truth per se.
Truth. Now there’s a challenge. Especially in politics. Truth is a key component to finding your moral compass. Truth in politics is a national concern. Rightfully so. In fact it’s a political dilemma. Google’s CEO, Dr. Eric Schmidt, said he expects an internet lie detector to become a reality. Schmidt said it would be so fast that while candidates are debating, with the touch of a button, the search engine would provide instant proof or disproof of claims made.
We often refer to the infamous Clinton lie “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” along with his eventual confession. It’s ironic that politicians believe they can deceive the public in an age of technology that exposes the truth before it gets its pants on.
How do we ensure that political figures are speaking the truth? In the information age, it’s actually quite easy for those willing to take time to check the facts. I hope Schmidt is accurate and that someone (perhaps Google) takes this challenge on by creating a literal political lie detector search engine that is lightning fast.
In the meantime we can discern truth by following our instinct as clearly defined in Malcolm Tidwell’s bestseller Blink! = Initial Instinct.
On the other hand, my Dad always said the greatest lie detector test is: how someone treats others and the way they live their life when no one is seemingly watching. Once again, I believe he was right. Until next time, Red Stick Republican http://redstick.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/the-political-lie-detector/
Final Implementation of Obama Dictatorship in Progress on all levels
I
have warned and written about this particular subject for over three
years—since before Obama was elected—aka “coronated.“
It is only now that many others finally seem to be getting the
message. However, this is not something to be criticized.
It is to be applauded, as it means they are finally and inexorably
awakening to the truth. They are to be applauded and not
insulted. I noticed this morning that—after a few of the
latest Obama assaults on the US Constitution and liberties of
We-the-People—some in the media (not the Obama media of course)
appear to at last to have come to the realization that Obama is and
has been a dictator.
Even
some members of our feckless and Obama-accommodating Congress are at
last saying that Obama is acting in an “extra-Constitutional”
(aka “illegal”; “unconstitutional”) and “dictatorial”
manner.
Even
though it seems to have taken an inordinate amount of time for even
these to ultimately admit that we are in a police-state crisis, I
applaud them for having the insight—albeit VERY delayed—to admit
the destructive force that is working daily to eliminate the United
States of America. We need all of the help we can muster.
Obama’s
latest shredding of the US Constitution and replacing the USA’s
3-Branch Equal-Powers Federal Government system with his own
dictatorship include, but are hardly limited to, the following:
Removing
local police presence from communities and replacing them with a
federally-paid (that’s US taxpayer-paid) Obama-controlled National
Police force. It is starting—in earnest—in Detroit
Obama
is stepping up his issuance of illegal Executive Orders, INCLUDING
the Dream Act that was voted down by Congress and opposed by a
majority of the American people. Nevertheless, in June 2011,
Obama issued an Executive fiat to ‘create’ it. Congress
did nothing and still does nothing today
Obama
is now making “recess appointments” of unacceptable candidates
when there is no Congressional recess. The applicable
paragraph in Article I, Section 5 of the now-badly hemorrhaging US
Constitution reads:
“Neither
House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of
the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place
than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.”
Neither
the House nor the Senate had adjourned. In order to get what
he wanted (and now everything he wants toward his explicit mission
of the total destruction of the United States of America) Obama
continues to patently and illegally further shreds what was left of
our US Constitution—now obviously not his.
The
Obama/Holder “Operation Gunwalker: Fast & Furious” was and
is directly attributable to Dictator-in-Chief Obama. Since
shortly after the C-span2 video was published in 2009, in my columns
I have referred to Deputy Attorney General Ogden’s statement on
said video that he was “directed” by “the president” to
“take action” against the drug cartels. This action began
as “Operation Gunrunner” and its name was changed to the
infamous one we know today. However, the operation was never
planned to fight against the drug cartels. Instead, it was
developed as a means to fight WITH the cartels against the US
citizenry. The operation was affected (and don’t forget
“directed“) by Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder to do
one thing: Remove legally-owned guns from US citizen under the
Obama-manipulated premise that guns were being illegally sold to the
drug cartels by Americans.
Note: The only
problem with this was/is that the Seller was the Obama government
and the Buyer was/is the Sinaloa drug cartel leadership. The
Obama syndicate openly chose the “winner” in the Mexican drug
wars (which have spread to and are now being fought in the USA) to
be the Sinaloa Drug Cartel over the Los Zetas cartel.
Therefore, thousands of guns have been supplied by Obama, Holder,
the ATF etc. to the Sinaloa gang. All of the murders and
mayhem created by Obama and his syndicate have been enacted as a
false excuse/reason to remove guns from US citizens so that they
would be enslaved more easily or exterminated without being able to
fight back against their oppressors. This is what ALL
totalitarian plots have affected in world history and this is the
reason Stalin and Mao were able to murder tens of millions of
humans. This—and the lies believed when the truth was too
‘scary’ and painful for the German people to accept—was the
reason Hitler was able to round up Jews, place them in train cattle
cars and take them to their executions…with little more than
whimpers.
Obama
announces plan to share military secrets with Russia. This is
another item that used to be called and prosecuted as Treason.
I wonder whatever happened to that concept
Today,
too many still refuse to believe what’s happening in our country.
Instead, they choose to believe the lies that are being perpetrated
by a now wholly antagonistic-to-the-people government—even though
its actions belie its words. Too many people still choose to
believe the lofty although-proven-to-be-lies rhetoric that drips
steadily and daily from the mouth of Dictator Obama and they ignore
what he’s actually doing to destroy them.
The
plain truth—no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be—is
that we have already lost our country to a band of thugs who have
looted our treasury (that which all taxpayers used to own), burned
our US Constitution and is in the process of decimating the rest of
the USA at and on every level. And the biggest problem is that
some of us have allowed—even welcomed—it to happen. The
country that my ancestors fought and died to build has been
annihilated. The only question remaining is: Are there
real humans left who crave liberty, freedom and God enough who want
to fight for and rebuild it? Are there?
“If
my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land.”—2 Chronicles 7:14
Detroit Is Laying Off Cops to Rehire Them With Federal Money
The choice isn’t between guns and butter anymore. It’s between exploding entitlements and the basic services that justify government’s existence. From the liberal “Model City,” Detroit:
A high ranking source in the Detroit Police Department says about 100 police officers will be given layoff notices during meetings on Wednesday.
Fortunately for any law-abiding citizens who have not yet managed to escape this frozen jungle, the cops will be hired right back again with federal money.
Currently, the department receives universal hiring grants from the Department of Justice.
DPD plans to repurpose those grants to be used to pay officers, but the only way to eventually hire them back is to lay them off first.
The move will take the officers off the general payroll and help Detroit’s finances.
What happens when Obama et al. finish fundamentally transforming the whole country into Detroit? Maybe the UN will pick up the tab for basic services. Or maybe law and order will completely collapse, as in the prototypes for Hope & Change, Zimbabwe and Venezuela. If the Moonbat Messiah is reelected, it won’t take long to find out.
What liberalism has left of Detroit.
DETROIT (WXYZ) - In two weeks the Detroit Police Department will send layoff notices to 108 officers as a way of cutting the city's budget.
On Wednesday, Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee met with the police officers who are expected to be given layoff notices. The officers affected are some of the newest hired.
An actual layoff date has not been determined.
Sources say the move is a procedural matter and that they do not expect any officers will actually lose their jobs, but there are no guarantees.
At issue are two federal grants from the Department of Justice that are to be used for hiring new officers. Detroit Police officials are hoping to be able to use that money to retain the officers who are set to get the layoff notices.
DPD plans to repurpose those grants to be used to pay officers, but the only way to eventually hire them back is to lay them off first.
The officers are currently being paid out of the City of Detroit's General Fund budget and the move to use federal grant money to pay their salaries is expected to help the cash-strapped city.
In this tight Republican Presidential campaign, candidates are trying to line up as many backers as possible, and Texas Congressman Ron Paul has tied up the prostitute vote.
"I'm pimping for Paul," Dennis Hof tells 1200 WOAI news.
The owner of Nevada's infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch polled his employees, and there was overwhelming support for the Doctor of Gynecology. The main reason? Hof says the longtime libertarian is a champion of state's rights, which is a big deal in the northern Nevada area they call home.

"Nevada basically tells the fed, 'We don't care what you think. We'll run our state,'" Hof explained. "It's the last place for state's rights."
The area outside Caron City, Nevada, has legalized prostitution, legalized gambling and the alcohol regulations are far less restrictive than the rest of the country.
In the last election, the female employees at the ranch supported then-Senator Barack Obama, but that soured when he signed a bill allowing the slaughter of horses for human consumption.
"That was it. Nobody wants to know that guy anymore," Hof explained.
In addition to being a house of prostitution, they feed and water about two-dozen wild horses who live around the ranch.

Chart 1 reveals
the linear connection between the Rothschilds and the Bank of
England, and the London banking houses which ultimately control the
Federal Reserve Banks through their stockholdings of bank stock and
their subsidiary firms in New York. The two principal Rothschild
representatives in New York, J. P. Morgan Co., and Kuhn,Loeb &
Co. were the firms which set up the Jekyll Island Conference at which
the Federal Reserve Act was drafted, who directed the subsequent
successful campaign to have the plan enacted into law by Congress,
and who purchased the controlling amounts of stock in the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York in 1914. These firms had their principal
officers appointed to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the
Federal Advisory Council in 1914. In 1914 a few families (blood or
business related) owning controlling stock in existing banks (such as
in New York City) caused those banks to purchase controlling shares
in the Federal Reserve regional banks. Examination of the charts and
text in the House Banking Committee Staff Report of August, 1976 and
the current stockholders list of the 12 regional Federal Reserve
Banks show this same family control.

October 21, 1945: "A broadcast over the Luxembourg radio said tonight that Baron Kurt von Schroeder, former banker who helped finance the rise of the Nazi party, had been recognized in an American prison camp and arrested."
November 1, 1945: "British Army Headquarters: Baron Kurt von Schroeder, 55 year old banker and friend of Heinrich Himmler is being held in Dusseldorf pending decision on his indictment as a war criminal, the Military Government official announcement said today."
February 29, 1948, "An immediate investigation was demanded yesterday by the Society for the Prevention of World War III as to why the German Nazi banker, Kurt von Schroeder, was not tried as a war criminal by an allied military tribunal. Noting that von Schroeder was sentenced last November to three months imprisonment and fined 1500 Reichsmarks by a German de-nazification court in Bielefeld, in the British Zone. C. Monteith Gilpin, secretary for the society said the question should be asked why von Schroeder was allowed to escape allied justice, and why our own officials have not demanded that von Schroeder be tried by an Allied military tribunal. 'Von Schroeder is as guilty as Hitler or Goering.'"

The J.H. Schroder Banking Company
J. Henry Schroder Banking Company is listed as Number 2 in capitalization in "Capital City" [62] on the list of the seventeen merchant bankers who make up the exclusive Accepting Houses Committee in London. Although it is almost unknown in the United States, it has played a large part in our history. Like the others on this list, it had first to be approved by the Bank of England. And, like the Warburg family, the von Schroders began their banking operations in Hamburg, Germany.
At the turn of the century, in 1900, Baron Bruno von Schroder established the London branch of the firm. He was soon joined by Frank Cyril Tiarks, in 1902. Tiarks married Emma Franziska of Hamburg, and was a director of the Bank of England from 1912 to 1945.
During World War I, J. Henry Schroder Banking Company played an important role behind the scenes. No historian has a reasonable explanation of how World War I started. Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo by Gavril Princeps, Austria demanded an apology from Serbia, and Serbia sent the note of apology. Despite this, Austria declared war, and soon the other nations of Europe joined the fray.
Once the war had gotten started, it was found that it wasn't easy to keep it going. The principal problem was that Germany was desperately short of food and coal, and without Germany, the war could not go on. John Hamill in "The Strange Career of Mr. Hoover" [63] explains how the problem was solved. He quotes from Nordeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, March 4, 1915,
"Justice, however, demands that publicity should be given to the preeminent part taken by the German authorities in Belgium in the solution of this problem. The initiative came from them and it was only due to their continuous relations with the American Relief Committee that the provisioning question was solved."
Hamill points out "That is what the Belgian Relief Committee was organized for -- to keep Germany in food."
