Researcher: Discovery could end energy crisis

Jana Cone
TIFTON, Mar 16, 2008 (The Tifton Gazette – McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) –

A Tifton agricultural researcher says he has found the solution to the world’s energy crisis through genetic modification and cloning of bacterial organisms that can convert bio-mass into hydrocarbons on a grand scale. The local researcher believes his groundbreaking discovery could result in the production of 500 to 1,000 barrels of hydrocarbon fuel per day from the initial production facility. The hydrocarbon fuel — commonly known as oil or fossil fuel when drilled — will require no modification to automobiles, oil pipelines or refineries as they exist today and could forever end the United States’ dependence on foreign oil, he said.

J.C. Bell, who brought the world powdered peanut butter, has spent the last four years, identifying the bacteria that produces hydrocarbon and then finding a way to genetically alter it so that it could produce hydrocarbon in greater volume. Bell cited a USDA study that projected it was possible to produce two billion tons of bio-mass that could be converted to hydrocarbon with some modification to agriculture and forestry practices.

Pamela Serino, Chief of the Department of Defense Energy Support Center at Fort Belvoir, Va., said she was very excited about Bell’s technology. “The DOD Energy Support Center is the energy purchasing arm of the defense logistics agency,” Serino said. She said she became acquainted with Bell when he met with a senator about his hydrocarbon research. “We give support to the Hill,” she said. “When he was briefing the senator, we were there to see if his technology was viable.” Serino said her job was to question the science behind the technology. “It looks good to me,” she said.

Serino said she envisions a near future where “we have multiple regional energy sources.” She said the growth in China and India makes the work in bio-energy more critical.

Now that his discoveries have been patented, his corporation formed — Bell Bio-Energy, Inc. — and his government communications established, Bell announced his discoveries to the local press on Friday morning.

“I have received a tremendous amount of support from the state and federal government,” Bell said. “I could not have gotten this far without the help of (U.S. Sen.) Saxby Chambliss, (U.S. Sen.) Johnny Isakson, (Rep.) Jim Marshall, (Rep.) Jack Kingston and Floyd Gabler, the deputy undersecretary of the USDA.” He said, “They have opened doors for me at the Department of Defense and the EPA and EPD.”

Bell said he never considered ethanol for his research. “He who burns his food goes hungry,” Bell said. “That’s an old Chinese proverb.” Instead he concentrated on bio-mass and hydrocarbons. “If it grows it’s bio-mass,” Bell said. Bio-mass is any living or recently dead biological material. Hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen and is naturally occurring in crude oil.

Sources for bio-mass to be converted to hydrocarbon fuel are the forestry industry, pulp plants, agriculture and waste derived from the construction and demolition industry.

“This is the ultimate recycling,” Bell said. “Environmentalists should rejoice. We are only using waste products.” Bell said his company would take all of the waste of the plants: The tree limbs and tree tops, husks and cob of the corn, wheat stubble and corn stover.

Bell said that with ethanol, “The United Stated would have to totally rebuild our infrastructure.” He said, “We wanted to make hydrocarbon that could immediately be pumped.”

Bell said the original idea came from observing cows expel gas. “That is natural gas,” Bell said. “Cows release methane gas.” He said the gas is created by bacteria in the cow’s rumen or stomach. “These bacterial organisms are responsible for biological conversion of bio-mass into hydrocarbons,” he said.

With his research complete, Bell is in the process of building his pilot plants and production facilities. At the pilot plants, the bio-mass will be tested to select bacterial strains, bacterial genetic modification will be tested, revision of production protocols will be established, and a determination will be made of the best method of bio-mass conversion.

“We are exploring several locations for our pilot plants and production facilities,” Bell said. “We have the opportunity to put our plants in several locations.”

He estimated the budget for the research facility to be at $60 million annually and the production facilities at $250 to $300 million a year. He anticipates being in full scale production by October 1, 2009.

“Wherever this is located, the community will reap tremendous economic benefit,” he said.

Bell cites a number of benefits of bio-mass conversion: The energy shortage issue can be effectively addressed, it is a totally renewable energy source, it calms global warming fears, utilizes industrial waste and supports the agriculture industry.

“We can reduce the waste stream by 70 percent,” he said.

Voting ‘no’ on Hillary, Obama and McCain

Voting ‘no’ on Hillary, Obama and McCain
Is this the year for 3rd party candidate?

Alan Keyes

Many conservatives are feeling left out of the 2008 presidential race, with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battling for the Democratic nomination and the GOP endorsement likely going to U.S. Sen. John McCain, who has worked with Democrats on campaign limits as well as amnesty for illegal aliens, and in 2004 actually was thought of as a possible running mate for Democratic candidate John Kerry.

Some prominent leaders, including Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, even have said they will not vote rather than vote for the liberal leanings of McCain.

So is 2008 the year when a third-party candidate would find some traction among those disaffected by the abortion, marriage and national security stances found in the records of the three front-runners left in the race?

Charles Lewis, national outreach director for Christian Exodus, is one of those behind the launch of the new Save America Summit website, and believes it’s not only time, it’s overdue.

“Even the national conservative pundits who have drunk the Koolaid have to say ‘hold your nose and vote for McCain,’” Lewis told WND. “Not one of them recommended voting for McCain in a primary.”

(Story continues below)

Among those joining in the effort are presidential candidate Alan Keyes, American Minute founder Bill Federer, Minuteman national executive Director Al Garza, Constitution Party founder Howard Phillips, Gun Owners of American executive director Larry Pratt, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps founder Chris Simcox, Operation Save America founder Flip Benham and dozens of others.

Lewis told WND the 2008 election cycle is too critical to wait through, with plans for the future. Given that supporters of traditional U.S. values – allegiance to country, love of family and reliance on faith – would not support the Democratic candidates, he said the establishment now is offering only McCain as an alternative.

And his support of McCain-Feingold campaign limits, his repeated “reaching” across the aisle to work with Democrats, and other issues, scare a lot of people.

That leaves, he said, only a third party candidate to meet the needs of conservatives, Republicans, Ron Paul Democrats, independents, Reagan Democrats and others. Lewis says it’s just that the word needs to get out.

“We have lots of radio talk show hosts, and we aim to recruit more. There are thousands and thousands of Christian radio talk shows,” he said. “As momentum grows, the pundits that have so reluctantly fallen into line behind McCain will feel the movement. Our goal is to reach a certain critical mass where they’re going to have to stop telling people to stay home or vote for Hillary.”

Keyes, one of the leading names being supported by those who are “thinking outside the box,” confirmed to WND that he is in the process of evaluating his connection to the Republican Party.

His campaign has focused on the traditional values of America, protecting marriage, life and the nation, and he said it isn’t an issue of his leaving the GOP, but of the GOP moving away from its traditional moorings, where he remains.

“A lot of people are disenfranchised,” he said. “The system has been hijacked. There no longer is a commitment to the U.S. Constitution. I think Americans deserve an alternative. Elections ought to be about choices.”

Among the two major parties, and candidates Clinton, Obama and McCain, there isn’t a “choice,” Keyes contended, with two publicly committed to a liberal bent he cannot support and “McCain trying to leave his conservative roots.”

“The system now has all kinds of obstacles that have been erected to destroy the choice of the people,” he said, and instead support the maintenance of power of those who are already in those positions.

That, he told WND, is what communism does: limit the choices but then call it a free election. Allegiance to a party is what is being emphasized, when it should be allegiance to a freedom-loving country.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “I don’t think there’s been a time in my lifetime when the two parties are so out of touch with the grass roots.”

On the border issue alone, he said, “the elites have seemed to have lost their mind as well as their allegiance to our physical integrity as a country.”

He noted the contributions of Phillips to the new effort and the possibility of working through the Constitution Party for a true change in America, a “revival.”

“There is a real desire, a belief that some alternative must be developed,” he said. “We can no longer be enslaved by the existing party structure. On the contrary, if things aren’t representing you, there needs to be something else.”

“My experience [is] a period of serious reflection with what I can do,” he said.

The Constitution Party has acknowledged the possibility of having Keyes, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, Chuck Baldwin or someone else on its ballot in 2008.

“This is not a closed list, and it is possible that there may still be others who are considering the possibility of seeking the 2008 Constitution Party nomination,” the organization tells website visitors.

The party already is on the ballot in 15 states and is working on the petition process for others. The website says, “That puts it well ahead of where we were this time in 2004! We are nearly finished with petition drives in Ohio and South Dakota and are making excellent progress in West Virginia, Hawaii and New Mexico as well. Petitioning has now commenced in a number of other states.”

The Democrats are splintered right now, with the sometimes vitriolic battle between Clinton and Obama, with the most intense part of the race leading up to the August convention in Denver still awaiting Americans, third-party supporters said.

Republicans still haven’t coalesced behind McCain because of his political history.

The Constitution Party is the third largest political party in the country in terms of voter registration, with more registered voters than the Libertarian, Green or Reform parties.

Mainstream Republicans warn that a division of vote, that is any conservative not supporting the more conservative of the mainstream candidates, will result in a White House run by the Democratic candidate.

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has been sought by some as a candidate himself, told the Conservative Political Action Conference that conservatives need to be “independent” from the Republican Party.

“Let me make very clear what I’m saying here. I am not saying there should be a third party – I think a third party is a dumb idea, will not get anywhere, and in the end will achieve nothing,” he said. “I actually believe that any reasonable conservative will, in the end, find that they have an absolute requirement to support the Republican nominee for president this fall.”

And while he believes “the McCain-Feingold Act is unconstitutional and a threat to our civil liberties” and “that the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill was a disaster and was correctly stopped by the American people,” he said he rather would “have a President McCain that we fight with 20 percent of the time, than a President Clinton or a President Obama that we fight with 90 percent of the time.”

“I believe the conservative movement has to think about reaching out to every American of every background,” he said.

Gingrich said Ronald Reagan was of a similar opinion, quoting from a 1975 Reagan speech in which he said, “Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people.”

But the Constitution Party insists that shouldn’t be an issue.

“Voting for the lesser of two evils will still yield evil. The major parties offer a choice between driving our country over the cliff to ruin at 50 miles per hour or 70 miles per hour. For example, Republican Supreme Court appointees gave the country Roe v. Wade and other liberal rulings. … If the fear of voting third party is maintained, there will never be hope for change …

“The United States of America was not founded upon compromise and rationalism. If was founded upon the belief that people are accountable to God for the principles that they stand for,” the Constitutional Party says.

Gary Odom, the national field director for the party, told WND the party’s convention in Kansas City will determine the candidate.

“Anybody with a sense of reality can tell we have a ways to go, [but] we are making progress,” he said.

He said the time is ripe in 2008.

“If there is a Judge Moore who would step forward, you couldn’t find a better time.”

The three front-runners, he said, offer virtually nothing different among them.

“You get big government either way,” he said. “Your vote is the currency of your virtue. People should vote for what they believe in.”

He cited the old definition of insanity: trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

“Why shouldn’t we try something different. Let’s get back to the Constitution and not ignore what made this country great for its first 150 years,” he said. “I think there is a great desire for something different.”

Former Sen. Rick Santorum warned at the beginning of the GOP race, when there were four or five vying for the lead, that none of them was running “because they’re social conservatives. … They all have problems on these issues, and most of them aren’t comfortable talking about them.”

McCain, specifically, opposed a ban on same-sex marriage and led efforts to limit political spending by interest groups.

Dobson told Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel at one point he knows a third party movement could give the Democrats the White House. But he said he simply could not – ever – vote for someone who supports abortion, as has McCain.

A WND reader, Dan Jr., posed the question that many are wondering.

“Might not [a third party] be able to convince a worthy presidential candidate, like Roy Moore, Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter, to run? If that happened, wouldn’t a significant number of disgusted voters make a more positive statement with their vote than for an indeterminable lesser evil? If so, wouldn’t that vote shift, at the very least, get some politicians’ heads up about the intensity of voter disgust at their malfeasance, misrepresentation and the damage they are doing to their parties and U.S.?”

On the American View, John Lofton wrote of Keyes, “Alan believes, accurately, that the GOP has used conservatives just to get their votes and that the GOP has betrayed many fine Christian people.… He believes McCain is unsupportable because of things McCain has already done – such as supporting embryonic stem cell research.”

“Alan believes Christians should hold up a Christian plumbline as a measuring standard and make this Godly standard known. … Christians must have Christ’s priorities – to seek first the Kingdom of God.”

In a previous interview with WND, Keyes said his first priority in office would be to make sure the executive branch of the U.S. government recognizes the unalienable rights of U.S. citizens, as spelled out in the U.S. Constitution.

And that means applying to the unborn the protections the Constitution already includes for them.

“My first priority would be to re-establish within the executive branch respect for and protection of the unalienable rights of the unborn children in the womb, to make sure nothing was done by the executive branch of the United States that violated the Constitution of the United States in his regard,” he told WND during an exclusive one-on-one interview.

Gravel Joins the Libertarians

By Alec MacGillis
Mike Gravel is headed to the convention in Denver. No, not that one. The septuagenarian former Alaska senator, who, depending on your viewpoint, was an amusing or aggravating presence in the early Democratic presidential debates, has announced that he is joining the Libertarian Party and will be competing for its presidential nomination in Denver in late May.

“I’m joining the Libertarian Party because it is a party that combines a commitment to freedom and peace that can’t be found in the two major parties that control the government and politics of America,” Gravel said in a statement. “My libertarian views, as well as my strong stance against war, the military industrial complex and American imperialism, seem not to be tolerated by Democratic Party elites who are out of touch with the average American.”

Gravel’s run for the Democratic nomination was marked by some memorable curmudgeonly comments from the far wings of the debate stage, such his declaration in April, in response to other candidates’ threats against Iran, “I got to tell you, after standing up with them, some of these people frighten me — they frighten me.” His poll numbers stayed in decimal territory, but he drew spikes of Web traffic to his debate highlights and his minimalist campaign ads, including one in which he stared at the camera for an unnervingly long time before heaving a rock into a lake and walking away.

Gravel was barred from the debates beginning with the October one in Philadelphia (which, perhaps not coincidentally, was the debate where Hillary Clinton’s aura of inevitability began to crumble, with her hedged answer on several issues, including drivers’ licenses for immigrants.)

Andrew Davis, a spokesman for the Libertarian Party, said that Gravel was welcome to compete for the party’s nomination, noting that the only requirements for running were meeting the constitutional requirements for the presidency, being a member of the party and being willing to accept its nomination. But he said that Gravel might face a tough sell on some issues — while the party’s membership agrees with his stances against the war in Iraq and the military draft, among other issues, it differs with his stances in favor of universal health care and higher spending on public education.

“He has some libertarian inclinations, but there’s still a lot of issues that he doesn’t fall into step that perfectly with the platform on,” Davis said. “We’re hoping once he can become acquainted and see what the party’s all about, he can adjust his views.”

There are currently 15 candidates competing for the nomination, which will be decided by the roughly 1,000 delegates expected in Denver, who will be partly guided by the results of primaries and straw polls held in some states. The elephant in the room, so to speak, is whether Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who has run for president on the Libertarian ticket in the past, will drop his bid for the Republican nomination and take his legions of loyal supporters back into the Libertarian fold for a third-party run in November. Paul this week reiterated that he has no intention of doing that.

But still, one can dream. A Paul-Gravel ticket? “That would be interesting, no doubt,” said Davis.

Time to Listen to Ron Paul? (Duh)

Time to Listen to Ron Paul?

By Elizabeth MacDonald

Time to listen to Texas Congressman Ron Paul, the lone voice of reason in Congress today who’s got to feel like he’s shouting into a field of cotton with his repeated warnings about the dangers of a collapsing dollar, while the administration goes AWOL on the problem.

The dollar just hit a record intraday low against the euro on reports that consumer confidence levels have dropped to levels not seen since the post-Watergate era. It is down 7% year to date against the Chinese renminbi, it’s weaker than the Japanese yen and the Canadian loonie.

The joke is the greenback is now only stronger than the Mexican pesos and the Zimbabwe dollar, an overstatement for dramatic effect, to be sure.But since hitting a peak in 2002, the dollar has lost about a quarter of its value against a trade weighted basket of currencies.

A weak dollar acts as an anvil around the neck of the US economy and consumers. Rising inflation is essentially a tax on consumers, so are rising energy prices, and that double whammy threatens to undermine the purchasing power of the rebate checks due out in May–backed by printing even more dollars.

A bellwether event of significant import to our nation’s finances happened this past January 1 with little notice. That’s the day the first baby boomer was allowed to retire. A new federal report wearily warns once again for the umpteenth time that the nation faces some $60t in Social Security and Medicare unfunded liabilities alone.

We’ve heard time and again conservatives say deficits don’t matter. To say that deficits don’t matter is like saying ketchup is a vegetable or trees cause pollution.

The $406b we pay annually in interest on the $9t in federal debt alone would rank as the world’s 30^th biggest economy.

That annual interest cost surpasses the gross domestic product of Belgium, and is bigger than the GDP of Denmark and Hungary combined. The $406b would cover the annual cost of investigating Medicare fraud.

Stack all those one dollar bills making up our $9t deficit (and that doesn’t include the $60t in unfunded liabilities for Medicare and Social Security) and you would reach the moon and back. “Printing money cannot create wealth, if it could counterfeiting would be legal,” economist Brian Wesbury has said.

Even Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist and a forceful advocate for laissez-faire economics, got so sick of the way central bankers were willy nilly printing money in the ‘70s, he advocated that the government should replace the Federal Reserve with a computer. “Money is too important to be left to central bankers,” he quipped.

Broad zoom: The US economy has spent all of a year and four months in a downturn over the last two and a half decades. During that time we’ve seen a market crash of 22% in 1987, the S&L crisis, four wars, three financial crises (Mexico, Asian flu and Russian debt crises), the blow up of the hedge fund Long Term Capital, two asset bubbles (dot com and telecom). Since the Bush tax cuts of 2003, the US economy added the equivalent of China’s GDP–and government spending has boomed.

Now Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has both cut rates at a breakneck speed and pumped a massive amount of monetary stimulus into the markets to cure the credit crisis. I still think he is doing his level best to fix a crisis not entirely of his own making. The question now is, will Bernanke yank the liquidity punch bowl when the economy returns to trend growth in 2010 or 2011 as the central bank projects?

Let’s hope so, because the case for a weak dollar is, to me, well, weak. Namely, that a lame greenback softens the housing and credit crises as it fuels profits at US exporters whose goods are now dirt cheap in the eyes of foreign customers. Strong foreign sales at places like Boeing and Caterpillar reportedly added 1.4% to US growth in the second quarter of 2007. But exports make up just 13% of GDP. Consumers make up a larger 70%.

It’s no surprise consumer confidence is as weak as it was in the ’70s. LBJ had promised this country it could have both guns and butter in the ‘60s, so the Federal Reserve gunned the printing presses to pay for spending on entitlement programs and for the Vietnam war. For the first time, too, politicians got their mitts on taxpayers’ Social Security funds, after Democrats passed a so-called “unified budget” in the late ‘60s.

All that spending caused the dollar to nosedive in the 1970s amidst an oil embargo that sent oil costs, priced in dollars, soaring. Paul Volcker, then Fed chairman, enacted rapid rate hikes hitting 21% by 1979, and the Treasury went so far as to sell $6.4b in “Carter bonds,” largely denominated in Deutschemarks, to prop up the dollar. Gold got ripped off its mooring of an average $35 an ounce in the ‘70s, and in 1980 it hit a record $835 an ounce, around $2,250 in today’s prices.

Gold acts as a dew line for inflation. We essentially have a good handle on how much gold there is in the world and potentially below ground. When gold rises in price, it signals we are printing too many dollars, which indicates a concurrent drop in the greenback’s value. Over the last seven years, gold and oil prices have risen in lockstep, up 239% and 267% respectively. If the dollar had also risen in value at the same rate, oil would be selling at about $30 a barrel.

But now central bankers say that because of the weak dollar, they’ve seen capital losses carved out of an estimated $12t worth of dollars they hold in foreign currency reserves. The fear is they may unload their $12t in greenbacks en masse to cut their losses and run–which would really tip the US into a protracted recession. Already reports out of China show government officials there willing to rotate future planned investments out of US treasurys into other investments.

Countries pegged to the dollar are rightly saying, too, that we are exporting inflation to their shores. Saudi Arabia is a land that has had nearly zero inflation since 1998, but recently inflation soared to 7% annually, despite the fact the country is flush with petrodollars.

Congressman Paul rightfully warns us when he says the US government has “systematically undermined” the US dollar by expanding “the money supply at will for financing war or manipulating the economy with little resistance from Congress–while benefiting the special interests that influence government.”

It’s not just the US gunning the mints. Goldman Sachs figures that three-fifths of the world’s broad money supply growth came from emerging economies over the past year or so. Three-fifths. That’s gigantic.

Goldman Sachs says the growth in Russia’s M3 measure of broad money grew 51% over the last year or so, India by 24%, and by 20% in China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Brazil. That’s three times as fast as the US and the rest of the developed world, and it’s faster than their GDP growth rates. It’s the fastest pace in decades.

All that loose money is pouring into commodities, stock exchanges around the planet as well as bond markets–it’s largely why our long-term bond yields have been historically low, spurring a dramatic increase in mortgage borrowing, as mortgage rates typically track the 10-year Treasury note.

Watch out here–emerging economies are just as susceptible to minting lots of money due to political pressures, including things like paying for wars, or calming local populations clamoring for higher pay and more jobs.

What can be done stateside?

The administration needs to state more emphatically that it supports a strong dollar. A stronger dollar would draw liquidity back into the credit markets, lower inflation risks, cut oil prices and restart economic growth, notes Bear Stearns economist David Malpass.

Presidential candidates vilify NAFTA and free trade, when the weak dollar is partly to blame for problems like jobs lost to overseas operations, Malpass adds.

“Empires fail because they run out of money, or more accurately, run out of the ability to spend or inflate,” Congressman Paul warns. “We need to control spending, immediately, before it is too late.”

“Two thousand years ago, a Roman Senator
suggested that all slaves wear white armbands
to better identify them.
“No,” said a wiser Senator. “If they see how
many of them there are, they may revolt.”

Today, you and I and all Americans are the slaves.
Let us see, how many slaves are ready

“Steal”
to take the property of another wrongfully
and especially as a habitual or regular practice

The IRS steals from Americans to profit private bankers….
100% of the money collected by the IRS goes to pay the interest
to banks.
For money that they never loaned, a non-existent debt.

“It is well that the people of the nation
do not understand our banking and monetary system,
for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution
before tomorrow morning.” ~ Henry Ford

“Wh have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board.
This evil institution has impoverished the people of
the United States….
and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done
this throught the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures
who control it.” ~ Congressman Louis T. McFadden

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous
to our liberties that standing armies. Already they have
raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government
at defieance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken
away from the banks and restored to the people to
whom it properly belongs.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President

“History record that the money changers have used every form
of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to
maintain their control over governments by controlling money

“Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation
of the international money lender. The accounts of the
Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates
outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of
the United States.” ~ Senator Barry Goldwater (Rep. AZ)

If, as it appears, the experiment that was called “America” is
at an end…..then perhaps a fitting epitaph would be….

“Here lies America, the greatest nation that might have been, had
it not been for the Edomite bankers who first stole their money,
used their stolen money to buy their politicians and press and
lastly deprived them of their constitional freedom by the most
evil device yet created….The Federal Reserve Banking System”

April 15, 2008.
WHEREAS:
The Federal Reserve is an illegal corporation that operates for
profit and is NOT part of the federal government of the
Unites States of America.
WHEREAS:
The Federal Reserve has stolen Trillions of Dollars from the
citizens of the United States, without even having the
Constitutional authority to exist.
WHEREAS:
The New World Order could not continue its march to destroy
America and its freedoms without the help of the
Federal Reserve stockholders.
WHEREAS:
We can never have honest politicians as long as corrupt money

April 15, 2008.
Let us end the income tax and the Federal Reserve forever.
Let’s deman that the stockholders of the Federal Reserve return
all that they have stolen by deceit. They are common thieves and
all that they own is owed to Americans as restitution.

April 15, 2008 ~ the beginning of the end of the

The Canadian, English, Germans and French are all
planning to join the strike.

LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE GOP!

I think it is time that we all stood up and gave the Republican Party a big round of applause. I mean, they have done us all a huge favor. By an overwhelming majority, the GOP has prevented a potential plague from enveloping these United States of America, and I think it is time that we acknowledged it. Yes, the GOP stopped a potential catastrophe. Without the combined efforts of millions of Republicans, there is no telling what kind of disaster might have ensued. Let’s hear it for the GOP! Hip Hip Hooray!

 

For a few minutes there, I thought the GOP might have lost its mind, but I am glad to report that all is well with the Republican Party. The international bankers and oil companies, and the military-industrial complex, as well as the presidents of Mexico and Canada, can breathe easy. With John McCain as the presumptive Republican nominee, the globalist power brokers who have dominated the last three Presidential administrations can know that they are still in charge. There will be no changing of the guard this November.

 

It was scary there for a while. You see, there was this kook who was running for the Republican nomination that had the potential to upset the applecart real good. But thankfully, the fine people within the GOP rose to the occasion and beat back the attempts of his nutty supporters to vault him to the nomination.

 

 

 

After all, just think what would have taken place if this kook Ron Paul had won the Republican nomination for President.

 

This nut case actually believes that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Imagine that. That means:

• He would never take America to war except with a Declaration of War by Congress.
• Think how such a thing would prevent America’s meddling and interventionism worldwide.
• Think of the billions and even trillions of tax dollars that would not need to be spent overseas.
• Think of how much money Halliburton would lose.
• Think of how much money the Federal Reserve bankers would lose by not being able to loan money to the U.S. government. It is too ghastly to think about.

 

Furthermore, this Ron Paul nut might have actually insisted that the federal government declare unborn babies to be “persons” under the law. Think of it. This would mean:

• that every unborn baby would have the immediate protection of law.
• And this would have happened without the necessity of appointing a single Supreme Court justice.

Whew! The Republican Party dodged a bullet on that one. Now they can continue to talk about being “pro-life” for the next thirty years in order to fool Christian conservatives into voting for them without having to actually do anything about it.

 

This Ron Paul kook would also have put a stop to the incessant spying on the American people by their own federal government. Egad! This Paul character would have set America back two hundred years. Think of it.

• No more illegal wiretaps.
• No more reading private emails, letters, and telegrams.
• No more harassment by the BATFE of law-abiding firearms dealers for honest errors in paperwork.
• No more using the wars on “terror” and “drugs” to violate the Fourth Amendment. Think of the money that would be lost by the feds not confiscating the private property of the American people.

 

In addition, if this Ron Paul nut had actually become President, he might have succeeded in abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and overturning the Sixteenth Amendment. Holy Horrors! Can you imagine the tragedy that would have ensued?

• No more income taxes.
• No more tax forms to fill out.
• No more IRS agents arresting hard-working citizens for “tax evasion.”
• No more government tracking of our private financial transactions.
• Think of the US attorneys whose services would no longer be necessary. Imagine that.
• The federal government would actually be required to live within its means; it could no longer raise taxes, because there would be no more taxes to raise.

 

And if all of the above is not bad enough, this Ron Paul kook would actually demand that the federal government obey the Tenth Amendment.

• This, all by itself, would reduce the size and scope of the federal government by at least fifty percent. Imagine if the American people suddenly had the federal government out of their pocketbooks and off their backs? What would they do with all that newfound freedom? It is too scary to contemplate.

Do not worry, however. Thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican Party, John McCain will carry their standard into the November elections. Yes, my dear friends, David Rockefeller and his fellow travelers at the Council on Foreign Relations can rest easy. Should McCain win the general election, they will retain their influence in the White House. Indeed, we can all rest easier knowing that John McCain will be the Republican nominee for President.

 

After all, John McCain will see to it that:

• Our borders and ports remain open to illegal aliens. In fact, a McCain Presidency will ensure that illegal aliens become permanent U.S. citizens. Or better yet,
• that the U.S. and Mexico [and Canada] will be merged into a North American Community, thus eliminating the need for U.S. citizenship altogether. This will greatly help the Chamber of Commerce and Big Business. Think of the money they can save by hiring cheap Mexican labor. Think of the plants and factories that can be moved to Mexico. Think of the cheap Chinese goods that can be loaded onto Mexican trucks from Mexican ports and shipped into the United States on the NAFTA superhighways.

 

And did I mention the advantage a John McCain Presidency will provide to incumbents in future elections? Because John McCain does not believe in the U.S. Constitution, the First Amendment means nothing to him. This is good, because he can use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to promote his McCain/Feingold bill that would make it illegal for citizens to voice their concerns and opinions regarding the voting records of incumbents during a general election. That means those sinister organizations such as the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America will no longer be able to publicly promote their views regarding the anti-Second Amendment voting records of congressmen and senators.

 

That Ron Paul kook would never have tolerated such a law as McCain/Feingold. But thanks to the fine men and women of the Republican Party, we do not need to worry about these little inconveniences such as the First and Second Amendments (or any of the other articles within the Bill of Rights, for that matter), because they wisely selected John McCain to be their standard-bearer.

 

Furthermore, because the good men and women of the GOP decided to nominate John McCain, we can look forward to one hundred years of war in the Middle East. We can all anticipate the opportunity of sending our troops into harm’s way all over the world to promote the interests of international corporations, nation-building, and other U.N. machinations.

 

Had that nut Ron Paul been elected, he would have

• practiced a non-interventionist foreign policy.
• He would have sought peace with all nations. And, instead of preemptively invading foreign countries, he would have
• dealt constitutionally with terrorists, resulting in their capture or death,
• the protection of America,
• the absence of long-term war, and the respect of nations throughout the world. Furthermore, that nut Paul would have
• refused to use U.S. forces to do the bidding of the United Nations and other international entities.

 However, we do not need to worry about old-fashioned, out-of-date ideas such as constitutional government, conservative principles, or common sense, because the fine men and women of the Republican Party wisely chose John McCain as their presumptive Presidential nominee. Yes, indeed. Let’s hear it for the GOP!

It’s time for a Commission on Constitutional Freedom

Time For A Commission On The Status Of Freedom
By Henry Lamb
March 24, 2008

In the turbulent 1960s, a civil rights movement arose that resulted in the creation of a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Soon, there were state commissions on civil rights around the country. Then came the U.S. Commission on the Status of Women. Soon, there followed state Commissions on the Status of Women. Perhaps it is time for a Commission on the Status of Freedom.

America grew into a powerful, prosperous nation because its Constitution guaranteed to every citizen the freedom endowed by the Creator. While it took a century to extend those freedoms to black Americans, and to women, the principle of individual freedom for all citizens is the foundation of our Declaration of Independence and of our nation.

This fundamental principle of individual freedom has lost its luster in recent years. There is no longer a bright line between governmental authority and the consent of the people. Consequently, individual freedom is diminishing while governmental authority is expanding. The work of previous “Commissions on …” have identified the policies that burdened the blacks and women, and proposed remedies to expand their freedom and opportunities. A U.S. Commission on the Status of Freedom should examine federal policies that have eroded individual freedom and recommend ways to restore those freedoms.

Commissions at the state level should examine state policies and find ways to further restore freedoms that have been usurped by state and local governments.

A good point of beginning would be reaffirmation of the words in the Fifth Amendment which say that private property shall not be taken for “…public use without just compensation.”

The Supreme Court has expanded the meaning of the term “public use” to include “public benefit.” There is no justification for this expansion of government authority. Individual freedom has been seriously diminished as the result of this usurpation. State and local governments have seized upon this new authority, and now routinely take private property from one citizen to sell to another citizen for a profit — using the vague excuse that the “public benefit” is higher tax revenue. This is wrong. This expanded government power diminishes individual freedom, and takes private property for reasons not sanctioned by our Constitution.

With the rise of the environmental movement in the 1970s, governments at both the federal and state level enacted a series of laws that encroached further into an individual’s freedom to use his property as he may choose. Land that may be moist for as much as seven consecutive days during the growing-season was claimed by the government to be “wetlands” under the jurisdiction of the government. Individuals went to jail, and were fined, for the “crime” of moving dirt from one place to another on their own property. This is wrong! This expanded government power cannot be excused or justified by the false claim that it is a “public benefit.”

Thousands of jobs were lost in the northwest when government expanded its authority even further, to prohibit logging in areas inhabited by spotted owls. Families, and even towns, were devastated because the government exercised power not granted by the Constitution, but justified by the claim of “public benefit”.

A Commission on the Status of Freedom should examine both the basis, and the process by which this decision was made, and recommend remedies that will restore freedom lost due to this expanded governmental authority.

In communities across the nation, individuals are discovering that their unalienable right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” has been subjugated to the county’s comprehensive plan. These plans are mandated by a state law, adopted in order to win the favor and funding from federal agencies that have decided individuals should live in “sustainable communities,” designed by professionals. This is wrong! People should be free to live where they choose. Any limitation of this right should be imposed only by elected officials who are directly accountable to the people whose freedom is restricted.

Most important, a Commission on the Status of Freedom should examine the policy decision process. Increasingly, public policy is being made and implemented administratively, by-passing elected representatives of the people. Arrangements such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership, at the federal level, and the Arizona Mexico Commission, at the state level, use non-elected bureaucrats to “harmonize” and “integrate” rules and regulations — without review or approval by elected representatives of the people. The people who are subjected to these rules and regulations have no voice in the rules that govern them. This is wrong!

In truth, the U.S, Congress and every state legislature should be our Commissions on the Status of Freedom. They are not – and this is wrong! Far too many of our elected officials have lost sight of the “unalienable rights” endowed by the Creator and guaranteed by the Constitution. The seductive lure of power, and the misguided notion that government knows best have brought down many nations.

A Commission on the Status of Freedom might well trigger a new public exploration of the values that moved our founders to declare and enshrine the principles of freedom that are now so regularly ignored.
