Lord God of all the Living Universe, God of Whom there is no image,

--Thank you for the Constitution of these United States, for once we knew we should be free.

--Thank you for the men and women of the Armed Forces who offer their lives in defense of America--no greater sacrifice is found.

--Thank you for our children, our future. May we not disappoint them--or you.

--Thank you for good friends and sworn enemies. Both teach us more about love and hate, trust and dishonesty, than we ever learn in church or school.

--Thank you for the athiests who daily prove your existence, lest their clamoring voices be raised against nothing but thin air.

--Thank you for what's right in our world, and what's wrong, that we may better know the difference, that we may all find the purpose--large or small--to our lives.

--Thank you.

The LA Times posted an "article" entitled Google won't exclude distorted Michelle Obama image from search and there were maybe ten or fifteen comments, mostly asking why this was news and what's wrong with free speech. Then I posted the following comment and in the time it takes to read said comment, all the comments were gone, as if the LA Times had never allowed comments on the article. So, did the following touch a raw nerve? Or was it too close to the truth? You be the judge. Could've been a technical glitch, but the timing's incredible, and the last time I checked, the comments had not been restored.

My comment:

Gee, LA Times, did you want everyone in the world to view the image? That's all you've accomplished here, in addition to revealing your pseudo-elitism by thinking you're big and bad enough to tell Google where it ought to stand on free speech. So, does this mean you're against free speech? Or is speech only free when it criticizes those you hate versus criticizing those to whom you would surrender your rights as well as the rights of all American citizens.

You people are moronic. Perhaps if you spent as much time studying the Constitution as you do looking for flaws in others, you'd get an idea of why newspapers are losing readership, yours included. God knows few working at your paper have actually studied journalism.

Get off your high horse and do some real reporting for a change. Start looking at the bigger picture, the one beyond Obama. You'll be amazed at what you find. Hell, why not Google George Soros and the Bilderberg Group for starters? See how much practice Soros has at collapsing a country's currency, then ask yourselves if Bernanke of the Federal Reserve has quit printing dollars yet? Then ask yourself why he hasn't? Why not ask why he attended the Bilderberg Group's annual meeting in 2008? Or why Tim Geithner's a regular guest? George Soros last attended in 2002 I believe, but don't ever doubt that he's not well-represented.

Maybe if you dug a little, you could report truth instead of opinion and increase your readership. Unless, of course, you want to be bailed out by Soros and Co. using taxpayer's money--until the dollar's worth less than toilet paper, I might add. You better hurry and do something because you're going to be in the same boat as all the rest of us if you don't. Then you'll wish you'd done some real reporting. Oh well, I'm sure there will be a public works job for you all somewhere. And to think you could've stopped what's coming down merely by seeking and reporting the truth. 

I used to believe in newspapers and reporters. Until they sold their souls to make a puppet a king.

If you, above all else, wanted to make your puppet king of a free people and resources were no problem, how would you do it?

Fund anti-freedom organizations to slam these people from all political sides, every day virtually a new issue brewing a new fight, keep all of them distracted and/or afraid so they don't have time to see what you're doing to them; threaten their freedoms, threaten to redistribute the wealth from those who work to those who don't; turn the have-nots against the haves and vice versa, make sure you do nothing to create jobs so that people get hungry and desperate; tank the currency so that it's worth less and everything costs more; spend, spend, spend the People's money to create a need to raise taxes across the board; dither on the important issues without actually doing one single thing to solve the problems; by doing nothing, encourage violent class warfare to break out so that your puppet can declare martial law and suspend elections. Voila, you have now made your puppet a king.

Consider this:

*Since Obama took office we have a spend, spend, spend Congress creating a tax debt our children's children cannot pay.

*We are fighting with each other over the war in Afghanistan, over health care and cap and trade, fighting over whether a terrorist act like the one committed at Fort Hood should be called just that--a terrorist act--while the administration announces plans to try the mastermind of 9/11 as a common criminal, and causes yet another new controversy.

*We've lost six million jobs and the economy is in the tank, and Obama announces a useless "job summit" to be held between his numerous globe-trotting trips on our dime--this is another way of doing nothing while people get hungrier and more desperate.

*Our dollar is worth less every day and prices are rising while Bernanke of the Federal Reserve continues to print money like we've got it and will, if not stopped, devalue the currency to the point where toilet paper is worth more.
*The haves are growing angry at the have-nots for not wanting to support themselves; the have-nots are already mad at the haves for standing in the way of their "promised" free government ride.
*Meanwhile Obama and Pelosi and Reid steer more billions of tax dollars we don't have to organizations whose primary goal appears to be the destruction of the American way of life.
*Too few are taking the time to look at the larger picture because we're all too preoccupied--distracted--fighting amongst ourselves.
The bottom line is this: If class or civil or racial warfare = martial law, a puppet becomes king.

Soros is the puppet master; Obama, Pelosi, Reid and others of both political parties are merely dancing to his tune. If we pawns don't get off this dance floor and start focusing on the true enemies to America, we'll wake up one day to discover we the People--republican, democrat, conservative, liberal and independent alike--no longer have any skin left in this game.

Here's just a few of the more disturbing manipulations taking place in our country that you'd be hard-pressed to find reported anywhere but Fox News:

--In what is clearly an underhanded effort to secure yet another liberal vote in the US House of Representatives, the White House appoints the Republican incumbent in NY district 23 to the relatively powerless position of Secretary of the Army. That move by Obama's White House leaves the seat up for grabs in a special election. The Republican committee in upstate New York nominates Dede Scozzafava, a Republican In Name Only, who is so far left that she's even more liberal than the Democrat running in the race. Doug Hoffman, a conservative CPA with no political aspirations, decides to run on the Conservative Party ticket. And so many conservatives jump on his bandwagon that Scozzafava pulls out of the race. A day later, she endorses not Hoffman the conservative, but the Democrat, Bill Owens. Whose side is she really on anyway? And where do the best interests of her constituency figure in? Personally, I think she was bought off like the Republican committee who nominated her to run, but you best decide for yourself.

--In the race for governor of New Jersey, the Democratic National Party, on the eve of the election there, admits to bankrolling a robocall for the third party independent candidate. Obviously, the Dems were hoping to split the Republican vote to assure Corzine, a corrupt Democrat whose lips appear to be firmly planted over Obama's rectum, four more years as governor. And Obama made three appearances in New Jersey to "get out the vote." This news comes on top of even more disturbing news that 3000 or more absentee ballots have already been set aside for "discrepancies" such as signatures that don't match. Add to this the fact that the Democratic Party in New Jersey is demanding that those questionable absentee ballots be counted in a race that's too close to call. Doesn't this kind of behavior by any political party trouble you? There's more than a dozen states with voter fraud investigations currently going on, but where is the hue and cry of the mainstream media? Largely nonexistent, save for Fox News. 

--While the boondoggle that is the 1990+ page Health Care Bill is all the news that's fit to print, at least according to the Obama/New York Times, the Cap and Trade bill is making its way quietly through the House and Senate. Cap and Trade, also known in my household as Crap and Tax, will not only raise everyone's electricity costs in the form of new taxes passed on to the consumer, but also drive even more manufacturing and jobs out of the country. To say otherwise is to be unable to understand the most basic math.

--Why, it's almost as if our politicians, Democrats and Republicans, are desperate to neuter as quickly as possible America's ability to manufacture anything, including a self defense should the need arise. What do we make here anymore? Very little, judging by the wares on the shelves of Wal Mart and other stores. And if we cannot manufacture anything, such as arms and tanks and planes to defend ourselves, what happens when, say, a country with too many people like China decides to turn all those modern factories we've helped build to weaponry? How do we defend ourselves then? Do you think the Chinese will be happy with us if we default on our loans? Perhaps they will want to foreclose. What do you think?

--Who's bankrolling this scheme to render us incapable of defending ourselves? The European socialist-billionaire George Soros? Probably, among others. After all, he's only visited the White House 22 times since Obama took office a year ago. That means over two visits per month. What's Soros checking on anyway? The return on his investment?

--Why won't Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke tell us and Congress just who he's lent a couple of trillion of our money to in the last year or so? Why is Bernanke continuing to print money at a record-breaking pace? To weaken the dollar? Perhaps collapse our currency to allow for the introduction of a new, global currency? I know what I think, but I'll let you be the judge.

--What and who is behind the so-called "climate change" treaty to be discussed, and possibly signed, in Copenhagen in December? Coincidentally--or not--this global meeting of over 150 nations will occur at the same time Obama is due to pick up his Nobel "peace" prize--in Copenhagen. Just an FYI, this treaty's wording includes the phrase "global government" and would, in effect, should Obama be treasonous enough to sign this thing, give our national sovereignty away.

--Why is land here in this nation being grabbed left and right by Congress under the guise of "environmental protection" so that no oil exploration or drilling is allowed to take place? Why does Obama encourage Iran to develop nuclear power plants to serve that country's electricity needs, but we Americans, in this time of so-called "energy crisis" and "green solutions" are not allowed to build any, not a single one? Is this to prevent us free Americans from using our own resources to become energy independent of the rest of the world? Again, I insist you be the judge.

--Why is it that Obama seems to have plenty of time to, for example, fly overseas to bid for the Olympics or fly overnight to Dover for cheap photo ops to "honor" the dead soldiers returning from Afghanistan, plus manipulate the politics of upstate New York, and make campaign appearances for candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, and attend fundraisers all over the country, but he can't seem to spare a few moments to make a decision on Afghanistan, or address the issue of the flagging economy here in America, or even push Congress to enforce existing laws to close our porous borders?

--Why is it this White House has the time to waste picking a fight with Fox News and no time to at least decry the nasty and despicable acts of voter manipulation and outright fraud in New Jersey by Obama's own political party?

--Why is it that Democrats like Pelosi and Baucus "claim" to be able to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid and Medicare, but need to pass a health care bill that includes no less than 13 new taxes and the creation of 111 new bureaucracies to do so? Why has Obama not taken the time to appoint someone to head Medicare even now, yet we have all these unconstitutional "czars", more than 32 I believe, already in place and in record time?

--Why is the mainstream media, in print and on television, with the exception of Fox News, largely silent on all these issues and more? Who's bankrolling their concerted silence?

Now, add up the above and tell me there's not a concerted attempt by someone or many well-heeled global someones to neutralize, control and otherwise takeover the only country left in the world whose citizens are yet free to speak, to rise up even and prevent this. Just like South Carolina's Joe Wilson shouted at Obama recently, I will also shout, "You lie." And you and I both know I've only shone a tiny light on just a tip of this increasingly alarming iceberg.

The question we are left with in the face of overwhelming evidence is what are we, the free People of America, going to do about this?

My first answer is to vote out every single incumbent--local, state and federal. If that doesn't stop this takeover in its tracks, if our politicians--Republican and Democrat--continue to allow themselves to be bought off by the "global governance" interests so obviously intent on neutering America to extinction, then I believe we have no choice but to follow the example of our Forefathers and throw the tea into the harbor, every harbor--sea-going or landlocked--all over America. Our nation, our children's future depends on us and what we do right now and in the coming months.

When Congress first tried behavior modification through arbitrary taxation, smokers were the guinea pigs. That was such an emotional issue, wasn't it? And a lot of Americans, easily swayed, helped Congress perpetrate this scheme by falling prey to the emotional selling points. What Congress did, and is still doing, was rake in the dough and laugh behind our backs at how stupid Americans were. And local and state governments were quick to follow suit.

Now, Congress and Obama have set their sights on fat people. Soda is the "enabler", soda and all those "damaging" fruit drinks. Congress and Obama must "save" all fat Americans from themselves by modifying the behaviors of all of us through taxation. Oh, they'll push the emotional hot buttons, try to make bad guys of those who are overweight, those who don't look like the liberals' idea of what a robotic model citizen should be, just like before when they, with the help of the mainstream media, victimized smokers in a blatant attempt to cannibalize their rights.

Is that what you want? To have your behavior modified and your choices stolen left and right by Congress and Obama? Or do you believe, as I do, that being an adult I, as a free American, have the right to decide for me what is best for me. That I and you, as free Americans, should not be subjected to a behavior modification ala Hitler's Germany where the tool to modify that behavior is not shock treatments or internment camps, but a cattle prod dressed as a tax.

Freedom means that although we may not like the choices made by the American next to us, we are duty-bound to defend his or her right to make those choices, without arbitrary and discriminatory taxation. We are not peasants, serfs, slaves or cows, to be prodded by higher taxes to give up our freedoms, especially to an elitist Congress and President who thinks we're all so stupid as to not see this scheme for what it really is--another attempt at control.
