Now here is something that I overlooked. How is the government going to handle closing down GM dealerships? I would say you will get a real giggle out of this but it is really scary!!

We The People?
What is hot today in today's world of news? "Rep: Heidi not tortured on 'Celebrity' or Blame Reagan for our financial mess or Varied prescriptions on health reform" What about Cap and Trade, how Obama is going to continue to tax us until we are all broke or kiss your second amendment good bye, actually, kiss the bill of rights good bye. Why is it that "The News" does not actually report on what is going on. When I think of a reporter, I think of some one that is going to the bottom of the story until the full truth is found. Point in case, were is all of the 787 billion of Obama's stimulus package and were did all of the 750 billion from the Bush bailout? Why is it that national news is not reporting on this? Reporting these days just gloss over what is happening, kind of giving us a touch of what is happening with no solution.
On Fox this morning, Meg talked to Republican from WI regarding taxing cattle's flatulence. Meg found this very funny because the Senator said the word, "fart" and complimented the Senator on the fact that he said fart more then anyone had ever done so on Fox News. I do have to compliment the Senator for actually taking the interview seriously, bringing up the point that he has been fighting this point of the EPA not handling global warming by taxing the American citizens. He tried several times to lead Meg to ask about his position on global warming, but she just giggled about how he was using the word fart on TV!! Wow, I am so inspired! We are about to pay even more for food and Meg is giggling about the word fart!!!!
I saw a report today about universal health care which pointed out how 70% of the people with health care which they receive from their employers, are happy with their care and do not want this new system. The fact of the matter is from the reports that I have read, people with health care do not what the government's version of health care and also from what I have read, this is a huge majority. This follows with a majority of the public do not agree with our "wars" that we are involved with, they don't want to attack Korea, Iran or any other country for what ever reason. Polls show that a majority of people think that there is something wrong with the 911 investigation and it needs to be looked in to. Polls also showed that both bailouts that we have had in the last 8 months show that the majority of people were against them, yet again, our Government went ahead and pushed this through. I am sure that you can go back to 1912 that a majority disagreed with the creation of a Central Bank but this was also pushed through.
So why is it that the majority disagree with how the government is acting yet it continues to go ahead with it's agenda? Think about it, we are a Republic, our Representatives with in the government are suppose to vote based on us the people. But then you hear stories like with the Central Bank legislation being brought to Congress to vote on with the night before Christmas with many of the Congress heading home to be with their families. (Don't forget that in 1912, there where no plains so I am sure some with Congress left several days earlier!) One of the reports I read during the October 2008 bailout, one Senator said that he was pressured in to signing the bill being told the stock market would crash 2500 points, banks would go out of business and there would be marshal law in the streets in of America. They where then given less then 24 hours to read the bill.
Again a similar thing happened with Obama's bailout, pressure from the administration, threats of what could happen if they did not vote for it and then being given the bill with little to no time to review it before they vote on it. But again most people disagreed with the bailouts yet the Congress still slammed it through. As a side note, I love how Obama pushed the bill though and then took the weekend off and did not sign it until the next Tuesday after the bill was passed on Friday.
So what is happening here? Why is the majority of the public of the US disagreeing with what our government is doing but yet they keep voting against our wishes. My theory is two-fold. One, the public are not keeping track of what the government is doing so not contacting their reps to share their opinion. If fact, most people were not aware that when you contact your reps, whether it be in the local, state or federal, each person that contacts their office counts as a particular number of other public. If you contact your Senator or Congressman, it is considered that 10,000 other have that same opinion so your 1 call or email is worth 10,000 people.
The second opinion is that our reps really do not care what we think and are just pushing through some agenda that is going to push their career ahead, which of course is the scariest of the two. I honestly think that we could say that 3/4 of the time, our reps do not care what we think and the 1/4 of the time, our reps just don't hear from us. Think about it, maybe if we did contact them more often, then maybe we would be able to have more control over this. Maybe they fall in to the agenda because it seems that we don't care.
Most people do blindly just vote for someone because they appear to be the right candidate. Look at our last Presidential election. It appeared that voting for Obama was the right choice, we were looking to rid ourselves of Bush so lets get a fresh face in the office of the President who was making the right promises. The fact that he was black made it even more appealing to me, it showed that this country was saying the hell with the past, that we can have a black man as a President, meaning to me that we can have a man despite the color of his skin in office.
There is something that we are also missing out on with regards to our country and that is the fact that it country is a Republic, not a Democracy, yet when I was trying to work out what the difference between the two, I found it very difficult to decipher the difference until now. The key point to that I have found is the point of sovereignty. The statement, "We The People" has enormous meaning. A Democracy is a government of majority rules, 51% of the people control 49% of the people. With this idea, people are no longer free unless they are in the 51%. A Republic promotes the point that each man is in control of his own life, freedom and that pursuit of such freedom. This is done through the guise of the Constitution. What is unique about our country's constitution is the point of checks and balances. This is the point of the three branches of government, Executive, Legislative and Judicial. This system is suppose to control a Democracy from occurring, one branch overlooks the action of the other. Legislative has the right to vote down a bill, President can veto a bill and the Supreme Court has the Constitution to compare a bill to in order to verify it being legal.
Our government is just that, our government. Our Representatives work for us, we elect them to be our voices, we control what they do and have the right to call them on it per the 1st Amendment.
So this leads me to this conclusion, we are allowing ourselves to be completely dumbed down. We watch the news and read the papers that don't really tell us what is happen but because we trust them we feel like we are being informed. "I saw Paris Hilton's boob so I am in the grove of what is happening." It comes down to us, We The People, we are allow this to happen to us despite how it is being done, we are not paying attention to what our government is doing, we are not doing our homework with the laws that are being introduced, instead we are trusting what the media is telling us so if and when the shit hits the fan, we all need to look in the mirror and ask who is at fault for allowing this to happen!!

Cap and Trade Continued
It has been about a week since I have written anything on this blog yet there is so much happening out there. I originally started this blog as a way to help support the alternative media effort by putting out information that the main media machine has decided not to report on. Actually, they do report what is happening, they just twist it so it seems to be how things are suppose to happen. This is why the alternative media is something that is really needed because it takes the truth and then reports what is really happens.
The fact of the matter here is that I really can not keep up with what is going on out there so I have made this more of an opinion based blog. Taking the facts of what is happening and then injecting my viewpoint with what is happening. I spend hours of my day listening to Alex Jones podcast. I do a lot of traveling so I use this time to listen to him. I monitor the media but after you watch the same report on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and Fox, you find that there is not much time that you need to watch these media outlets to find out what is happening because they all say the same thing. I read Logistics Monster, subscribe to Ron Paul and scan the rest of the alternative media to see what is happening which can take some time.
There is one thing out there that I am not seeing in the alternative media as well as the main line media machine and that is the Cap and Trade aka Al Gore tax that is in the Senate Committee right now. I emailed my Congressman and Senators here in New Jersey a few weeks ago with regards to this and obviously I expressed my concern about this. My main point to them was that I was worried that an environmental issue has now turned in to an economical issue. Cap and Trade, admitted by our President, will increase energy cost by some 70%.
A tax is being used to curtail carbon emmission to reduce what is formally know as "global warming". This system most simple will give an advatage to larger businesses as they will have the capital to control the trade of their emmissions. This will reduce the ability of the smaller businesses to be able to afford to purchase the ability to put out more emmissioins because the levels that they will be allowed to have will be much lower then what they have right now so they will have to trade with the larger companies and that price of doing this will destroy their companies. They will not be able to keep up basically.
I stated above that I emailed my Senetors and I did get a response to my email from Senator Robert Menendez and hear is what he had to say, "Thank you for contacting me regarding climate change legislation. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this critical issue.
I understand your concern with the economic impact of this legislation. Like you, I believe it is vital that we carefully consider and prepare for how a cap and trade program will affect the daily lives of those at every income level. That is why I cosponsored an amendment that offered increased protections for low-income families, while moving forward with the fight against global warming.
However, it is important to remember that the costs of ignoring global warming far outweigh the costs of acting now to reduce emissions. For instance, recent projections in New Jersey predict that the Jersey Shore could erode inland by as much as 300 yards because of sea level rise by the end of this century. This would cost our state billions in tourism revenue as well as destroy what I consider a national treasure. Please rest assured, however, that careful consideration of any economic impacts from climate change legislation is a priority for me, and I will keep your opinions in mind as we continue to debate and discuss this topic."
Now I am not going to say what really want to with regards to the Senators PR'ish answer to me because he was the only on that actually answered me. I did respond asking two questions, where and what is this tax money going to be used for and I asked him to contact NASA to find out if the earths tempature has gone up or down over the last few years. The answer to this is that it has gone down which is why we are referring to global warming now as climate change. We will see what his answer is on this. I did point out to him that is concern about lower income families was "nice" but the tax basis for this counrty and voter basis in this country is the middle class so he needs to be concerned with them as well.

Left Right, What Is The Difference?
How do you actually prove that there is a difference between the Democrats and the Republicans? How do you show people that this whole thing is just a fraternal brotherhood? Well I think that Obama has proven this beyond a reasonable doubt and that is with torture!
Torture is defined as "the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure". Using methods like waterboarding on prisoners in order to get them to admit that they did something is torture no matter how you cut it. Torture is torture and the Bush administration admits openly that they allowed torture to occur in order to get information of out people. I am going to point out something here, it does not matter if our Government is torturing people that blew up 100 buildings in the US, torture is torture no matter why it is being doing, it is still torture and it is illegal not only in the US but it violates the Geneva Convention.
According to an article from Info Wars,"In an interview done with the London Telegraph, Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq, confirmed the details of his original army report, that the unreleased photos showed rape and sexual abuse of women and minors.
“At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee,” reports the Telegraph, adding, “Further photographs are said to depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube.”
You can go ahead and read the rest of this article on the Info Wars website as well as Googling Torture at Abu Ghraid prison and see all of the articles about this. The point here is that the President is not going to go after the Bush Administration legally about this. He is not going to put anyone in front of the Courts of the US to prosecute any one for breaking the law. If fact, it would not surprise me if Obama is continuing to torture prisoners. People's human rights are being violated not only by being tortured but by being held with out their day in court yet where is the UN?
Brothers do not rat out their brothers, that is the rule. You will see this in fraternities, with the police, with the fire department and apparently with in the family of our government.
I do want to point out that our President is a graduate of Harvard Law as a Constitutional Lawyer meaning that his specialty is law regarding the Constitution, shouldn't he know better? This just shows you that the left is really the right and the right is really the left and there really is no difference between either side. When are we going to learn? Sphere: Related Content
