Ted Cruz introduces one-page bill to abolish Elizabeth Warren’s precious Consumer Agency

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a one-page bill Tuesday to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the darling of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. The Repeal CFPB Act, which Cruz and four other Republican senators sponsored, would repeal the Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the part of the Dodd-Frank bill that created the CFPB and granted it sweeping authority over banks, money lenders and financial institutions. “Don’t let the name fool you, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau does little to protect consumers,” Cruz said in a statement. “During the Obama administration, the CFPB grew in power and magnitude without any accountability to Congress and the people, and I am encouraged by the actions President Trump has begun to take to roll back the harmful impacts of an out-of-control bureaucracy,” Cruz said. The bill is two short sections, the first of which states the title of the legislation. The second and final section of the proposed bill says “The Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 … is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by that Act are restored or revised as if the Act had not been enacted.” Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, also of Texas, proposed identical legislation in the House of Representatives.“The CFPB’s lack of accountability to the American people was quickly evidenced when – contrary to its name – it ended up hurting many of the very folks it was intended to help,” Ratcliffe said.Other Republicans have ideas for reforming President Barack Obama’s signature financial protection agency, Reuters reports. Georgia Sen. David Perdue intends to change the CFPB to make it more accountable to Congress. source

Leader of Catholic Relief Services emphasizes efforts to aid poor

Leader of Catholic Relief Services emphasizes efforts to aid poor % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Atlanta, Ga., Jun 20, 2012 / 02:32 am (CNA/EWTN News).- At the recent spring meeting of the U.S. bishops, Dr. Carolyn Y. Woo, president and CEO of Catholic Relief Services, highlighted the work that the charitable agency is doing around the world on behalf of the Church. “We serve wherever there is a need,” she told the U.S. bishops, who were gathered at their spring general assembly in Atlanta, Ga., June 13-15. Woo’s address marked the first time that she had spoken to the bishops’ conference since becoming the head of the charitable organization on Jan. 1, 2012. In her presentation, Woo explained that Catholic Relief Services strives to serve the “common good” with “uncommon excellence.” She told the bishops that the organization is “always innovating” and “always improving to make sure that our work is good.” Founded in 1943, Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the U.S. It reaches more than 100 million people in over 100 countries, providing both disaster relief and long-term development aid. The agency works closely with local institutions to serve all those in need, regardless of their religion, race or nationality. It serves a broad range of needs, responding to emergencies, promoting education and health, fighting disease, and supporting peace and justice in societies throughout the world. In addition, it engages Catholics in the U.S. to live in solidarity with those who are impoverished and suffering across the globe. The organization is governed by a board of directors that consists of clergy – primarily bishops – as well as religious and Catholic laity. Woo explained that Catholic social teaching is the “foundation” of the agency’s mission as it works to uphold the dignity of all human life, foster justice and serve those in need. The agency serves those in the poorest nations, she noted, adding that “when a country becomes rich, we leave.” In addition to working with a variety of partners, particularly Catholic organizations, Catholic Relief Services is working to expand its “involvement with universities and corporations,” she reported. As an example of the group’s work, Woo pointed to efforts in Haiti to “build back better” after the January 12, 2010 earthquake that killed some 300,000 people in the country and caused billions of dollars of damage. Catholic Relief Services is working to build secure and sustainable structures, create a “teaching hospital” in Port-au-Prince and help local educational groups develop a vision for the future of Catholic education in the country, she said. It is also teaching farmers how to add value to their crops and continuing the work of community recovery, offering shelter, safety, clean water and other necessities for families returning to their neighborhoods. Woo also outlined ways in which the bishops can help Catholics Relief Services in its mission. She encouraged the bishops to link to the organization on their own diocesan websites and to help integrate Catholic social teaching into formation programs. In addition, she welcomed the bishops to travel overseas with Catholic Relief Services, to see the work that the agency is doing around the world. Woo also addressed the bishops’ concerns about certain federal contract proposals last summer that would have required the distribution of contraceptives. About 70 percent of Catholic Relief Services’ funding comes from U.S. government, and about 80 percent comes through a competitive process. Woo said that the agency worked with the government, and as of February, the problematic language had been “eliminated.” She assured the bishops that the organization is still “monitoring this issue very closely” to ensure that future proposals do not “embed that language.” Read more at CNA Daily News – US Source:

Decades later, a fallen soldier’s family still remembers

Decades later, a fallen soldier’s family still remembers % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Belleville, Ill., May 28, 2012 / 07:00 am (CNA).- The yellowed newsprint was unfolded carefully. Its creases spoke of being handled many times over the years since it had been printed in the 1940s after the allies had claimed victory in the “war to end all wars.” Sgt. Carl Stadelbacher wouldn’t be home that spring or summer or any other time until his body was returned to his home in Cobden, Ill. where he would be buried at St. Joseph Church. Like so many other soldiers, he was just a boy, really, had not quite begun to live before he was asked to defend and then die for his country in a foreign land. Carl’s family loved him as the second of eight children of Leo and Geraldine Stadelbacher, a farm family in rural southern Illinois. Carl’s older brother, Bob, was deferred because of the need to work on the family farm, but Carl decided he could best do his duty in the United States Army. From all accounts, he was a good friend to many of the young men in his company — Company “K” of the 112th Infantry, 28th Division — and one friend he made visited the family in Cobden when he returned to the States. Before Carl sailed into action in Europe, he went home on a furlough, his younger sister, Marjorie Stadelbacher said. As the youngest girl, Marjorie kept all of the correspondence between family members and Carl. When he came home on that last furlough in the 1940s, she was only six years old, but she remembers going to Hicks Woods for a picnic with Carl and the family. After he left, her older brother and parents wrote to Carl, but letters dated January 1945 were returned, never opened. First he was designated MIA — Missing in Action — but later reclassified as a POW. He was captured Dec. 20, 1944 in Clervaux in northern Luxembourg along with other American soldiers. In retrospect, the war was almost over, less than a year to go, and yet it kept taking the lives of young Americans. Carl was placed in one POW camp in Germany and then moved to another. He was liberated by American soldiers April 3, 1945 and taken to an evacuation hospital where he died 12 days later of malnutrition and pneumonia a little over a month before his 23rd birthday. His family and friends were devastated. They believed, after these months in prison, their son would finally be home soon. He wrote to them from the hospital, saying he would regain his strength and be home in about six weeks. Then the telegram came. As for so many other families, the mailbox played a pivotal role in their lives. At first, the return of the letters worried and discouraged them. Then word of his POW status gave them hope. Their mother was “so happy,” Marjorie said, when they received word he had been liberated. In May, the tragic news of his death was brought by the pastor and the mayor who brought the telegram to the house. He was buried temporarily in Germany but would eventually be brought home. Two years later, his mother wrote about the life and death of her son that was published in a local newspaper. It reads in part: “Today, they have come the medals of honor my dear boy won on the battlefields over there. As I hold them in my trembling hands, a picture passes through my tears, of a boy entering manhood with the eager look of youth upon his face.” Later in the piece, she writes: “No letters from home to cheer him, no Red Cross aid, just hope to sustain him. Finally, starvation, with its grim hand of death, silence earth’s horror and war’s wild scream.” In ending, she said: “Give light to them that sit in darkness, and guide their feet in the way of peace. And as background for this prayer, come the silent voices of our sons beneath their crosses, row on row: Remember.” Years later, the area where Carl had fought and was captured was still dangerous. Land mines and unexploded ordinance being removed sometimes killed the people whose job it was to clear the area of mines. Their mother really never recovered from Carl’s death, Marjorie said. His parents donated a stained glass window to St. Joseph’s in Carl’s memory. “The window symbolized the sacrifice of God giving his son (to the world), and mom and dad gave their son,” Marjorie said. “She always said she understood the pain the Blessed Mother had and knew her sorrow.” Carl’s mother died at the age of 101 in 2001. “I still think about Carl,” Marjorie said. A small insurance policy he left to his mother “helped me get through college.” She taught kindergarten in East Alton, Ill., until returning to Cobden to live. She planted roses at the family graves in Cobden a variety, she said “would bloom all summer.” Marjorie described Carl as a sensitive young man, always willing to help others. She remembers one day going out to the mailbox at the farm without her shoes. The gravel driveway was hard on her feet. “Carl came out and carried me back to the house,” she said and smiled at the memory. His kindness was described through correspondence sent to the family after he died. “God works in different ways,” Marjorie said. “If Carl had lived, the tragedy he experienced in war may have haunted him for the rest of his life.” She said she thinks about the young men who are serving in the military today, especially those in war torn countries. With young men suffering through so much pain and loss, she hopes and prays they will receive the care they need to recover from their injuries — both physical and emotional. “I’m praying that a lot of young men with shattered nerves and injuries who do not receive solace from the world will turn to God and change this world through their spiritual battles.” Posted with permission from The Messenger, official newspaper for the Diocese of Belleville, Ill.

OH NO: Evidence Surfaces that Hillary Clinton Isn’t…

Just when you thought you’d seen the last of Hillary Clinton, she pops back up like the turd that won’t flush. A top political commentator thinks he’s got evidence that Hillary will run against Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Politico Magazine writer Matt Latimer lays out several reasons why he thinks Hillary’s still shooting for the White House: She shut down the Clinton Global Initiative slush fund to minimize liabilities to her political career. Why else would she forgo all that easy money? She allowed rumors about her running for mayor of New York City to circulate, when she could have easily shut them down. And those rumors bolstered the notion that Hillary’s not a political has-been. She’s still publicly trolling President Trump, almost as if the election campaign never ended. She’s signed yet another book deal to make sure everyone knows she’s still totally relevant. In her concession speech, Hillary gave no indication she was going to retire from political life. Latimer is fairly confident of his prediction: “Yes, barring some calamity, Clinton is running. And this brave columnist will go one step further. Not only will Clinton run again, she has an excellent shot at getting the Democratic Party nomination again. But only if she approaches it quite differently.” source

Joy overcomes Denver’s future archbishop

Joy overcomes Denver’s future archbishop % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Denver, Colo., May 29, 2012 / 06:04 am (CNA/EWTN News).- As Archbishop-designate Samuel J. Aquila of Fargo, N.D. assumes his role as Denver’s new shepherd, the former Coloradan brings with him a love for the priesthood, a passion for pro-life advocacy and a heart for the youth. “I never, ever dreamed that I would ever return here,” he told CNA. “And now in the Father’s providential plan and in his love, I’m now the archbishop.” “It’s amazing,” he said, overcome with emotion. Filling a position left vacant for over eight months, Archbishop-designate Aquila was announced on May 29 as the Denver archdiocese’s new leader by apostolic nuncio Archbishop Carlo M. Vigano in Washington, D.C. The 61-year-old will succeed Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, who led the Denver archdiocese for 14 years and was installed as head of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in September 2011. Denver’s new archbishop said he was outdoors and gardening in Fargo when he received the news of his appointment from the nuncio. “I heard my cell phone ring, and when I looked at the number I realized that it was from Washington, D.C.,” and he thought, “I’d better step aside for this conversation.” He recalled Archbishop Vigano on the other line telling him almost immediately that the “Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has appointed you to be Archbishop of Denver.” “Do you accept?” the nuncio asked. After pausing briefly, Archbishop-designate Aquila responded, “I very willingly accept.” Although he said he is “very excited” for the new post, he also reflected on how “it’s one of those moments where it’s bittersweet.” “I’ve been in Fargo for 11 years, it’s become home and I’ve developed wonderful friendships with the priests and the laity there.” Far from being a stranger in a new location, however, he will be returning to a placed that he called home for 25 years. Not only did the native Burbank, Californian study to become a priest in Denver, he served as the first rector of the local St. John Vianney Seminary. He also “vividly” remembers Pope John Paul II’s trip to Denver 1993 for World Youth Day, when he served on the committee that helped to put the visit together and assisted as master of ceremonies. Since Blessed John Paul II’s historic visit, the Denver archdiocese has been the launch site for numerous ministries under the banner of the New Evangelization – the late Pope’s call for reaching formerly Christian societies with the Gospel. These include initiatives such as the college campus ministry program FOCUS, the Catholic graduate school the Augustine Institute, and the women’s educational organization ENDOW. “It’s been very exciting to see what’s happened in terms of the New Evangelization,” the archbishop-designate noted. “I want to continue all of the work that has been done by both my predecessors.” One area of ministry close to his heart is priestly formation, he said, observing that the Denver archdiocese is “blessed” to have such thriving seminaries. “I plan on working closely with the priests of the diocese, and with the permanent deacons, and really focusing in on their spiritual life and to continue to build the fraternal relationship among the priests.” “I am thoroughly convinced that the deeper the intimacy that priests have with the Father, with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit — in living in the communion of love — the more will they return that love and serve their people better,” he said. Another mission within the Church that’s deeply important to him is pro-life advocacy – an area he is known for in the Fargo diocese. For the new archbishop, any questions surrounding the issues of abortion, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide all “get back to the basic dignity of the human person.” “Every human being, each one of us, began at the moment of conception,” he underscored. “There is no human being that has not begun at the moment of conception.” With that in mind, he said he’s been unequivocally supportive of efforts such as the international 40 Days for Life campaign, a peaceful protest initiative that seeks to put an end to abortion. “It’s a great way to give witness to life, it’s a great way to demonstrate prayer, it’s peaceful,” he said. “And then there’s always the tremendous joy when you know you’ve saved an unborn child.” Also high on the priority list for Archbishop-designate Aquila is the local young adult Catholic community, which is among the largest in the U.S. “I want them to know I love them,” he stated. “I look forward to working with them, to serving them, to bringing Christ to them.” Archbishop-designate Aquila said he is also passionate about meeting and connecting with Northern Colorado’s Latino population, who make up over 50 percent of the area’s Catholics. “I’ve always had a love” for the Hispanic community, he said. “I want to certainly continue to support them, to enable them in their faith and their culture, in their family life to continue to strengthen that in Christ and also in their devotional practices.” Those within the Catholic Latino population “face different challenges within the society in which we live,” he observed. Among the challenges that he hopes tackle are helping Latino Catholics “continue to integrate into the United States and bring the tremendous gifts that they offer, especially in the area of family life and their faith.” “I certainly need to brush up on my Spanish,” he said with a smile. Archbishop-designate Aquila will be installed as head of the archdiocese on July 18 at Denver’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Read more at CNA Daily News – US Source:

Archbishop of Brussels: People are Frightened

‘Our societies have become very fragile. Anything can happen, anything, anytime, to anyone. The terrorists who bombed Brussels have shaken the foundations of the Belgian society, but people must remain calm and refrain from violence to avenge the victims, said Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and the Primate of Belgium Jozef De Kesel. “What happened in Brussels, the attacks, were criminal acts,” De Kesel said at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. “They attacked the foundation of our society, a modern society.” “Violence will not stop violence,” the Belgian archbishop said. “We are all victims, that is why we must all be in solidarity.” He added: “Even the Muslim community is a victim of these attacks.” Kesel’s own congregation had been affected by the bombings, in which 31 people have been killed and hundreds have been injured. One of the priests from the cathedral was on the train at Maalbeek when a suicide bomber detonated explosives on it on Tuesday, De Kesel said, adding that the priest survived the attack. “Our societies have become very fragile,” De Kesel said. “Anything can happen, anything, anytime, to anyone. To you, to me.” Despite this week being Easter Week in a Catholic country, worshipers stayed away from churches since Tuesday, fearing that terrorists could again target places where large crowds gather. A service was planned at the Cathedral on Tuesday, the day of the bombings. Up to 1,000 people were expected to attend, De Kesel said. It was canceled. “People are frightened,” De Kesel said.

Europe’s Muslim migrant problem is quickly spiraling out of control. As more reach the shores of Europe every day, a crisis looms. How is Europe going to handle the thousands of migrants who are allowed to move freely on the continent? Where will they be put and how long will they stay? In France, they’ve issued the following dire prediction about how bad the crisis will be once summertime hits. Via Breitbart: In the Northern French port town of Calais, police are worried that the increasing number of migrants trying to cross over to the UK may create chaos this summer. The past three weeks has seen a surge of migrants who have hitched rides on commercial trucks, hiding themselves away in attempts to reach Britain, TheLocal reports. A spokesman for the police in the town said, “migrants once again attempted to slow down the traffic by placing branches on the road to obstruct lorries heading to the port of Calais. Migrants are cutting down and putting branches, and even tree trunks, on the road and they are operating simultaneously in several places.” That is frightening. Will any of this over-spill reach America? Obama’s planning to import thousands of migrants this summer, so the heat will be on! WATCH THIS !

Pope gives Buffalo diocese new bishop % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Vatican City, May 29, 2012 / 10:20 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Bishop Richard J. Malone has been appointed as the new head of the Diocese of Buffalo, N.Y. “I am most grateful to our Holy Father for his trust in appointing me Bishop of the Diocese of Buffalo,” he said in a May 29 statement. Although he is saddened to leave the faithful of his current diocese in Portland, Maine, Bishop Malone said he looks forward “with enthusiasm” to taking up his responsibility in Buffalo. Bishop Malone was installed as the 11th Bishop of Portland in March 2004. Prior to his assignment in Maine, he was ordained in 2000 as an auxiliary bishop for the Boston archdiocese. The new appointment comes after Bishop Edward U. Kmiec of Buffalo submitted his letter of resignation on his 75th birthday this past June. “Bishop Malone comes to Western New York with tremendous experience and a wonderful reputation for being a caring, pastoral bishop and a true shepherd to his people,” Bishop Kmiec said. An active member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Malone recently completed a term as chairman of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, which he continues to serve on. He has also served two terms on the Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People and is a member of the Board of Directors of Catholic Relief Services, where he is chair of the U.S. Operations Committee. Bishop Malone studied at St. John Seminary in Jamaica Plain, Mass. and earned his doctorate in theology from Boston University. He received his licentiate in sacred theology from Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Mass. Read more at CNA Daily News – US Source:

European Suicide, Spiritual and Physical

We’ve already witnessed the spiritual demise of Europe. Can its physical demise be far behind? In early May, Brussels Airport finally re-opened after being closed for nearly six weeks, following the March terrorist attack that killed sixteen people. While it will not be back at full capacity until mid-June, the Belgian government sees the re-opening as part of their effort to regain some sense of normalcy after the attacks. Another part of their efforts is figuring out how to deal with its restive and disgruntled Muslim minority, especially in places like the now-infamous Brussels suburb of Molenbeek. This tiny municipality, measuring less than 2.5 square miles, not only produced the March 22nd attackers, it’s also the reason Belgium produces proportionately more ISIS fighters than any other European country. In recent remarks before the European Parliament, Koen Geens, Belgium’s Minister of Justice, told parliamentarians that “In Europe, very shortly we’re going to have more practicing Muslims than practicing Christians . . . That is not because there are too many Muslims, it is because Christians are generally less practicing.” Not surprisingly, people, and not just Muslims, took offense at his comments. Belgium’s Interior Minister said that Geens was “making an enemy of Islam” and insisted that “the overwhelming majority of [Belgian Muslims] share our values.” Lost in the furor over Geen’s comments was the fact that he was talking primarily about secularism and the decline of Christian practice, and values. Also lost in this conversation over Belgium’s future, Islam and its jettisoned Christian heritage, is that the nation has turned euthanasia into a fundamental right. As PBS put it, and everyone already knows, Belgium has “the world’s most liberal euthanasia laws.” Physician-assisted suicide there isn’t limited to the terminally-ill – people with psychiatric illnesses or even children can also be euthanized. As a member of Belgium’s Euthanasia Control and Evaluation Commission told PBS, at the heart of the law is “a respect to individual autonomy.” Thus rather than being limited to the terminally ill, the dark practice is available to anyone who sees his or her condition as “hopeless.” And that includes, as we’ve previously told BreakPoint listeners, children as young as twelve. All that’s needed is the approval of two doctors, three in the case of psychiatric patients. By all accounts, Belgium’s law, which goes against everything Christianity teaches about the sanctity and dignity of human life, enjoys wide support. While Geens’ party, the Christian Democrats, has opposed Belgium’s euthanasia regime, their view is a minority one. The majority view of Belgian elites not only sees euthanasia as an indispensable part of respecting human autonomy, it has laughably convinced itself that the “overwhelming majority” of Belgian Muslims share these secularist values that made euthanizing children not only conceivable but the law. Now while we’ve singled out Belgium, it’s by no means unique. In fact, it wasn’t even the first country to legalize euthanasia. That dubious distinction belongs to the Netherlands. It’s also legal in Luxemburg and Switzerland. So-called “right to die” advocates expect other western European nations to follow over the next decade. In light of this, it’s hard to avoid the sense that Europe is committing suicide on multiple levels: first it committed spiritual suicide, turning its back on its Christian heritage. And once this happened, physical suicide wasn’t far behind. And now, the de-Christianized Europeans find themselves ill-prepared to respond to what’s going on in places like Molenbeek. Not only that, but as they try to figure it out, they miss the obvious—like if you want your nation to survive, legalizing suicide is not only immoral, it’s, shall we say, counter-productive. Or as Chuck would say, that’s what happens when you saw off the branch that you’re sitting on. Further Reading and Information European Suicide, Spiritual and Physical: One Follows the Other As John points out, there’s a direct correlation between a country’s rejection of spiritual foundations and their demise through the rise of physical suicide. With the decision to create liberal euthanasia legislation, Belgium and other European countries are experiencing the consequences of the rejection of the Christian view of the sacredness of all life.

Liberals against Abortion

What if I told you there was a time in American history when many Republicans supported liberalizing abortion laws, while liberal Democrats protested that fetuses had constitutionally protected rights? That liberals like Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, and Dick Gephart took pro-life positions while Republican governors Ronald Reagan and Nelson Rockefeller signed legislation expanding access to abortion? Would you believe it? Surprising as it may seem in the 21st century, protecting the unborn used to be an issue that liberals championed, as Daniel K. Williams shows in his outstanding new study, “Defenders of the Unborn: The Pro-Life Movement Before Roe v. Wade” (Oxford University Press, 2016). Williams demonstrates that, prior to Roe (which struck down most state laws restricting abortion), pro-lifers grounded their opposition to abortion in the rhetoric of human rights. In contrast to previous interpretations that interpreted the pro-life movement as a backlash against women’s rights and the Sexual Revolution, Williams argues that opponents of abortion viewed their cause as intimately linked with other “pro-life” positions like opposition to the Vietnam War and the death penalty. They believed that the fetus was the most defenseless of all human beings and that the Constitution guaranteed it the right to life. From the 1930s (when liberalizing abortion laws first became an issue in the medical and legal worlds) until about 1970, Catholics stood almost alone as defenders of the unborn. At first, they linked their opposition to abortion with their anti-contraception stance, since both practices allegedly involved humans meddling with the origins of life. As the majority of Protestants accepted birth control by mid-century, however, such arguments became increasingly unpersuasive. Instead, in the context of the Holocaust, Catholics began to argue that permitting abortion symbolized the general devaluing of human life. Permitting abortions in the case of fetal deformity seemed reminiscent of Nazi intentions to purify the race. The abortion issue really came to the forefront in the 1960s, when pro-life advocates witnessed mixed success. In the 1962-63 legislative session, Catholics defeated abortion liberalization measures under consideration in Minnesota and California. Both pro-life and pro-choice advocates thought that abortion reform was dead in the water: Catholics made up “such a large percentage of the population that changing the law of any state in the Northeast . . . is a virtual impossibility,” Planned Parenthood President Alan Guttmacher lamented. It was a sign of the times that abortion opponents were generally Democrats of the New Deal mold who saw a logical coherence in their support for poverty relief programs, parochial schools, unions, and the rights of the unborn. Other forces, however, combined to make early pro-life victories ephemeral. Rightly or wrongly, the reforms introduced in the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) resulted in lay Catholics increasingly dissenting from the official teaching of their Church. Where bishops had been able to exert substantial political force among their parishioners in the pre-Vatican II era, their influence diminished in the council’s aftermath. As a result, politicians became less fearful of “the Catholic vote.” Second-wave feminism, with its downplaying of gender differences in its call for equality, also accelerated abortion liberalization by introducing the rhetoric of bodily autonomy. Women must not be forced to bear children against their will, feminists asserted. Where an earlier generation of abortion advocates tried to balance women’s rights against those of the fetus, pro-choice activists by the early 1970s were declaring in effect that the fetus had no rights. The upshot was that pro-lifers lost significant legislative battles in the late 1960s, as California and New York both adopted laws increasing access to abortion. Again, the political alignments shock present-day sensibilities. California’s law found some of its strongest support from the lower house’s most senior Republican and was signed into law by Governor Reagan. Some of the attacks on the bill came from a liberal Democrat whose speech opposing abortion also lambasted the Vietnam War and the death penalty; in his view, each immorally destroyed human life. In New York, Republican Nelson Rockefeller signed the nation’s most liberal abortion law in 1970; it too had Republican sponsorship in the state house. When the legislature voted to repeal the unpopular legislation two years later, Rockefeller vetoed the repeal bill. After some setbacks, pro-lifers felt they were winning by the early 1970s. Only Rockefeller’s veto had prevented the overturning of New York’s law, and the movement had finally recruited some non-Catholics to the cause. They felt they had a good chance to make more legislative inroads. Then Roe v. Wade changed everything. By requiring that all states allow abortion in more circumstances than many wanted, the court set in motion important political realignments. Many Republicans, to put it frankly, were more disturbed by the intrusion into states’ rights than they were by the threat to the unborn. Nevertheless, pro-life advocates found new allies in a party with which they had previously felt little sympathy. Moreover, while the Republican Party moved right on abortion, the Democrats moved left, adopting pro-choice planks in their 1976 and 1980 platforms. The course of the Democratic Party after 1976 epitomizes Williams’s shrewd observation: “The pro-life movement came into conflict with two other key values of late twentieth-century American rights-based liberalism—personal autonomy and gender equality.” When forced to pick, the Democrats chose those values. This development meant that, over the course of the next two decades, pro-lifers gradually left the Democratic Party altogether. When Pennsylvania’s pro-life Democratic Gov. Robert Casey was refused a speaking spot at the 1992 National Convention, it signaled to many that pro-lifers were no longer welcome in that party. For many of the pre-Roe veterans, however, the alliance with the GOP was one of convenience rather than principle. Republicans’ policies on the arms race, poverty relief, capital punishment, and other matters ran against the liberal principles animating the original pro-lifers. As a result, and with the strong influence of groups like the Moral Majority, Williams says, the pro-life movement began to couch its opposition to abortion in the language of moral decay and secularization rather than human rights. While Williams focuses primarily on intellectual and political history, another intriguing tale receives only brief treatment. That heartening story involves the decreasing numbers of abortions in the United States. In 2013, Americans had fewer abortions than at any time since the early 1970s. Moreover, while fewer than 1800 abortion clinics were in operation in that year, 2500 crisis pregnancy centers offered better solutions for women in distress. In other words, much had been accomplished in Americans’ hearts and minds without the Constitutional amendment banning abortion that pro-lifers had long hoped for. While contemporary activists must pursue all goals in ridding the nation of abortion, they ought not to be too discouraged by legal and political setbacks. Politics may be unreliable and unpredictable, as Williams demonstrates, but churches and community organizations can do what politics often cannot: Change hearts, one person at a time.

“This Strike Was Long Overdue” Foreign Policy Experts Praise President Trump

On Thursday night President Trump returned America to her past glory days – filled with confidence, strength, and power.President Trump launched an attack against a Syrian airbase housing chemical weapons, where 59 Tomahawk missiles managed to hit every intended target, blowing the base and its contents to bits.For 8-long-miserable years America has sat on the “bench,” looking and feeling weak under the feckless “leadership” of Barack Hussein Obama – but thanks to President Trump, we flexed our muscle, destroyed some bad guys, and have regained our place in the world as a decisive and just leader. Foreign policy experts are praising Trump’s missile attack, saying it was “long overdue.” From Washington Free Beacon:The American military strike on a Syrian government airbase Thursday was lauded by foreign policy experts as a necessary and proportionate response to Syrian leader Bashar al Assad’s chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians earlier in the week.Jonathan Schanzer, vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the attack against Syria’s Sharyat Airbase marked a “positive step” that showcased the administration’s preparedness to take military action against the Assad regime.“This strike was long overdue in that for the last six years we have had a policy of paralysis in Washington with regard to the ongoing slaughter and mass human rights abuses in Syria,” Schanzer told the Washington Free Beacon. “The attack [Thursday] was limited, it was proportional, and I certainly don’t expect this to be the beginning of a longer campaign.” Schanzer said it appears likely the administration will pursue a diplomatic strategy to force Assad out of power with the support of the international community.He predicted that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley will play a key role in compelling her foreign counterparts to pressure Assad out of power.Christopher Kozak, a Syria analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, agreed the strike was a necessary development toward reestablishing U.S. deterrence, but stressed that the administration needs to persist in deterrent measures to reap lasting results.“The key point is that outside actors are going to be perceiving that this is a world where the U.S. and the White House will be willing to use military force in order to assert itself in a way that the U.S. has not been doing for quite some time now,” Kozak said in an interview.“But if this isn’t followed through with a larger strategy to achieve our national security objectives, if it’s not followed through with sustained pressure on Assad and his backers, then it really accomplishes little and may even be counterproductive depending on the reactions its provokes from other actors,” he added.Kozak and Schanzer emphasized the need for the administration to take on Syria with a two-pronged strategy that addresses both the Islamic State and the Assad regime. Kozak said the administration will fail in its fight against ISIS unless it deploys diplomatic and military action to strike a negotiated settlement between the Syrian government and rebel groups.

Totalitarian gov’ts are poised to TAKE CONTROL of the internet to CENSOR speech because of OBAMA

…the U.N. to make it easier for them to censor the internet globally. So much for the Obama pledge that the U.S. would never be replaced by a “government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.” Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government, called it “simply stunning” that the “politically blinded Obama administration missed the obvious point that Icann loses its antitrust shield should the government relinquish control.” The WSJ goes on to describe how ICANN has already begun to corrupt their authority by using their power to exact higher fees from those seeking domains. It makes millions of dollars per year based on that business. Now imagine what the world’s despots might do if they persuade ICANN to place itself under U.N. control? The U.N. has already showed itself to be the global equivalent of Mos Eisley – a wretched hive of scum and villainy more interested in abjuring Israel than in solving the world’s problems. And they might be in charge of the 2 TRILLION dollars that comprise global internet commerce (estimated for 2016). Do you think they might see this as a great investment to buy off the officials at ICANN who have already shown they like to sell their integrity to the highest bidder? Once again we’re left with the uneasy question about Obama’s motives – is he just incredibly stupid in allowing our enemies to spread their influence, or is he insidiously doing it on purpose? Charity bids us to believe he’s just an idiot.

BREAKING: Obama Implicated in SICK Liberal Plot to Take Down Trump

Obama is still exerting heavy influence over American politics — despite the courteous tradition of former presidents avoiding politics out of deference to their successor. Former President Obama is terrified that President Trump will dismantle his legacy by out-performing the weak-willed commander-in-chief. Now, Obama is diverting resources to fight Trump’s agenda by attacking Republican Congressmen seeking election in 2018. (via Dennis Michael Lynch) The nonprofit group Organizing for Action (OFA) is attempting to generate “grassroots” support against House incumbents in districts where President Trump received less than 50 percent of the vote. The Obama-linked organization is planning a campaign that will accuse Republican Congressmen of offering a “rubber stamp” for the supposedly dangerous policies of President Trump. OFA has a long political history attached to Barack H. Obama. The corrupt group was originally created by Obama after winning the election in 2008. The group was designed to generate support for Obama’s legislative efforts. OFA was rebranded as Obama for America during the former president’s reelection campaign in 2012, before finally culminating in Organizing for Action with the same goals as Organizing for America. Yes, the same organization has masked itself with three different names.The latest reincarnation of the Obama political machine will target 34 Republican incumbents that are considered vulnerable. The organization plans to attack them as surrogates of President Trump. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit is not allowed to advocate for any candidate, and is instead attempting to rally voters against Republicans. The organization is also hoping to drive a wedge between President Trump and Republicans in the House. The Democrats have always had the organizational and financial upper hand against Republicans. A large section of the Democrats’ base are professional activists or community organizers who have nothing better to do outside of political organizing and smoking lots of weed. Republicans, on the other hand, have jobs and families that require their attention. Additionally, the Democrats have the financial support of Wall Street cronies and Hollywood liberals. The Democrats have the resources, but conservatives have the Right. We need to stand up against these globalist forces to ensure President Trump can continue his mission to drain the swamp. We need to organize against Obama’s political cronies. Helping President Trump enact the will of the people should be celebrated and not used as a line of attack. Winning the election was just the beginning of the fight against the establishment. President Trump will need our support for the next eight years, and we cannot ignore the essential midterm elections.

Totalitarian gov’ts are poised to TAKE CONTROL of the internet to CENSOR speech because of OBAMA

This is a pretty big story, but as usual, the mainstream media is focusing on silly distractions instead of telling you of the enormous threat that Obama’s idiocy has opened us up to. It all has to do with his relinquishing U.S. control of the internet. From the Wall Street Journal: When the Obama administration announced its plan to give up U.S. protection of the internet, it promised the United Nations would never take control. But because of the administration’s naiveté or arrogance, U.N. control is the likely result if the U.S. gives up internet stewardship as planned at midnight on Sept. 30. They explain that ICANN needs to be under government control to retain its antitrust exemption. And it had that when it was under control of the U.S. government. But after Obama gives it up, it could seek to be under control of another government entity to keep that anti-trust status. And guess who wants to take advantage of Obama’s stupidity?

HILARIOUS: Liberal Journalists in Full FREAK OUT MODE After Trump Didn’t Let Them Ask Questions (VIDEO)

Liberal journalists took eight years off during Obama’s presidency. They didn’t ask him tough questions and they acted like guard dogs when anyone else tried to do so.Now, under President Trump, they think they’re so important that the future of the country depends on them being able to ask Trump tough questions. He keeps going around them and it’s driving them bonkers. At a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu this week, Trump took questions from conservative news outlets and the liberal media freaked out. From News Busters:Angry ABC in ‘Open Hostility’ at Trump for ‘Shutting Down’ Free Speech The journalists at ABC on Wednesday erupted in “open hostility” to Donald Trump, accusing the President of “shutting down part of the First Amendment” by not calling on network reporters at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jon Karl, Cecilia Vega and Matt Dowd repeatedly whined about the “conservative” questioners who were chosen, lamenting that the preferred narrative of the liberal media wasn’t highlighted. In the post-press conference coverage, Vega ranted, “I want to tell you about the open hostility right here in this room. You know, I’m sitting right here kind of in the middle of the pack of a number of journalists, mainstream reporters, if you will, and there is open anger in here about the fact the President did not take any real questions about the issue of the day.” …ABC analyst Dowd increased the hyperbole, stating that Trump was dismantling the First Amendment: This is two democracies, two important democracies in the world and basically the President of the United States is shutting down part of the First Amendment by not taking certain questions that are going to be any way antagonistic.

Despite what all has happened, not a single Belgian journalist has called us”. Mr. Modrikamen explained why Brussels had become such a haven for radical Islam, and why it was so important for America to not follow in Europe’s footsteps.

Supreme Court justices don’t — at least until now — take public stands on presidential or other elections. One reason is that they are barred from doing so by the federal code of judicial conduct, which states that as a general rule, judges shall not “publicly endorse or publicly oppose another candidate for public office.” They also aren’t allowed to make speeches on behalf of political organizations or give money to candidates. … Nowhere is that impartiality more important than in the highest court in the land, which has the final word on a host of grave questions. For justices to descend into partisan election campaigns would undermine public faith in their willingness to assess each case strictly on its legal merits. It would also encourage justices to let their political biases affect, if not determine, their decisions. Definitely an interesting development.

President Trump Gives Down-on-Luck Campaign Worker Surprise of Lifetime at Inauguration

President Donald Trump generously gave a supporter and campaign volunteer a $$10,000 check during the presidential inauguration to go to a very worthy cause.According to Independent Journal Review, 24-year-old and single father and part time Fed Ex worker Shane Bouvet fulfilled his wish to meet the president backstage after the Lincoln Memorial Concert on Jan. 19. While meeting with the president, Bouvet disclosed that his father was dying of cancer.In an interview with Inside Edition, Bouvet explained Mr. Trump’s reaction when he found out about Bouvet’s family situation. First, the president called Bouvet’s father to praise his son and ask if there was anything he could do for the family. Then, he made a stunning offer. “He said, ‘Shane, I’m gonna do something special for you. I’m gonna give you $$10,000.’ My dad’s fighting cancer and he wanted to lift that burden and make it easier for my family,” Bouvet recalled.Trump then turned to an aide and asked him to mail Bouvet a check for the amount, before signing autographs for Bouvet and his son. The Washington Post previously reported on Bouvet’s efforts during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The Illinois-based volunteer bought hundreds of Trump stickers out of his own pocket to further the cause.When asked why he worked so hard on the campaign, Bouvet disclosed that his state was losing hundreds of jobs and many people he knew were out of jobs.After months of tireless work, Bouvet received tickets to the inauguration.“This is pretty much the biggest thing I’ve done in my life,” he said. “I don’t get out much. I’m a small-town, blue-collar guy.”During his meeting with Bouvet, Trump thanked the volunteer profusely for his efforts and work to help during the election season. While many might just have said a quick “thank you” and moved on, Trump showed his generosity and genuine appreciation for all those who help him help America. source

These include the High Priest’s breastplate featuring the twelve precious stones of the tribes of Israel, the half-ton golden menorah, and the musical instruments of the Levitical choir. Last year, the Temple Institute’s successful Indiegogo campaign raised over $$100,000 used to develop architectural plans for the Holy Temple. THE PROJECT HAS BEGUN: A CHANGE IN CONCEPTION In the past the people of Israel waited for the birth of a potential Red Heifer. But with Torah knowledge and advanced science, the Temple Institute has now begun to actively pursue this commandment. For this unprecedented project, the Temple Institute has joined forces with an experienced cattle rancher here in Israel. This expert in the science of animal husbandry, under the halachic supervision and guidance of the rabbis of the Temple Institute, is utilizing the technique of implanting the frozen embryos of Red Angus cattle in Israeli domestic cattle. The end result of this program will be the introduction of the Red Angus breed into Israel. This method, authorized and approved by Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture, has already proven successful with the birth of a number of male Red Angus. The location and other details of the cattle ranch will remain undisclosed to the general public during the initial stages of the project. The Temple Institute will release periodic progress updates.

Young Catholic woman with rare syndrome speaks on true beauty

Young Catholic woman with rare syndrome speaks on true beauty % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Austin, Texas, May 30, 2012 / 12:06 pm (CNA).- Due to a rare condition, Lizzie Velasquez is unable to gain weight and her appearance made her the target of mockery from her schoolmates who called her “the ugliest woman in the world” in a YouTube video. The 23-year-old, however, is confident she has been greatly blessed by God, and has become an author and motivational speaker on true beauty. “God is the number one reason why I am here,” she told CNA. “He blessed me with the greatest blessing of my life, which is my syndrome.” The YouTube video received over 4 million hits, with some commenters referring to Lizzie as “it” and suggesting she “do the world a favor” and kill herself. Although Lizzie deeply suffered from the mockery, she decided to respond to the cruelty with courage and determination. With the unconditional love of her family and her profound faith, Lizzie set herself a series of goals, including becoming a motivational speaker, and has been meeting each one. Two months ago, she posted a response video on YouTube sharing her story. Lizzie was born into a Catholic family in Austin, Texas, and she remains active in her community and parish. Despite her condition being difficult – only a handful of people worldwide are known to have it – she says she has decided to embrace it with integrity. “To this day the doctors have no idea what it is or what to call it. It remains undiagnosed to this day.” “Even though this is hard, God has been at my side every step of the way. My faith, my family and my friends are the three things that have made me who I am.” The main symptom of her condition is that she cannot gain weight. “I eat almost all day long, but I still cannot gain weight. Besides this, I really don’t have any other health issues,” Lizzie explained. She dismissed as a “dumb rumor” reports that she has to eat every fifteen minutes. “I don’t have a specific diet. The truth is that I eat a lot of small meals throughout the day.” “I get full very quickly, and so I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner regularly. The only difference is that between meals, I tend to eat much more than the average person probably would,” Lizzie said. She said her faith has been the most important aspect in meeting the challenges of her life. “Besides my family and my friends, my faith is everything to me. When I have a bad day, I know the only thing I have to do is put it in God’s hands, and I know he will help me overcome anything.” She said the first place people need to look to find true beauty is within themselves. “Beauty is not defined only by external appearances. True beauty is who you are inside, and who God made you to be.” In order to find this beauty, Lizzie said, “The first step you have to take is to learn to accept who you are. Accept your imperfections, your good qualities, your personality, everything!” “Once you can completely accept and love yourself, your true beauty will shine brighter than you if every thought it could.” To learn more about Lizzie visit: www.aboutlizzie.com Read more at CNA Daily News – US Source:

(Before It's News) Kalispell, Mont., May 31, 2012 / 02:15 am (CNA).- The Knights of Columbus and several individual knights have asked to intervene in a federal legal case challenging the presence of a decades-old World War II memorial in Montana because it contains a statue of Jesus. “It is sad that some in America have become so intolerant of religion that they are willing to remove longstanding memorials to America’s war heroes to enforce their narrow view on the rest of us,” Supreme Knight Carl Anderson said May 30. “The idea that a war memorial containing a religious symbol on a remote piece of public land somehow establishes religion in this country is at odds with the historical record, the vision of our Founding Fathers enshrined in the First Amendment and the extensive jurisprudence in this area,” Anderson stated. The case concerns a memorial erected near Whitefish, Montana on land now within a commercial ski resort. Veterans of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division asked Montana members of the Knights of Columbus to create a memorial like the hilltop shrines they encountered in Europe during World War II. The Knights of Columbus’ Kalispell Council 1328 leased from the U.S. Forest Service the 25-foot by 25-foot plot of land on Big Mountain to erect the memorial. It finished the shrine in 1954 and has maintained it since. The permit had been renewed regularly every 10 years until 2010. That year, the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation told the Forest Service that the memorial violated the U.S. Constitution. The Forest Service initially denied the permit but renewed it after public outcry and media attention. In February 2012 the Freedom from Religion Foundation sued to have the memorial permanently removed. Its lawsuit said the continued presence of the Jesus statue is “intended as a religious shrine” and “gives the unmistakable appearance of governmental endorsement of religion.” The suit also argued that the Forest Service’s approval of the permit for the shrine land diminishes “the civil and political standing of non-religious and non-Christian Americans” and “constitutes governmental preference for religion and Christianity.” On May 29 the Knights of Columbus and several Montana members asked the U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana to allow it to intervene as a defendant in order to protect First Amendment Rights. Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Dr. Raymond Leopold, a Knights of Columbus member who helps maintain the memorial, explained why he wants the statue to stay. “I have tried to teach my children sincere love and respect for this country and those who defend it,” he said. “I know that members of our community have similar feelings about the statue and are proud to have it as one aspect of our community’s history and culture.” The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty’s litigation director Erich Rassbach is representing the Knights of Columbus and the individual knights in the case. “From their perch in Madison, Wisconsin, these professional bullies go around the country threatening government agencies and cities with lawsuits and financial ruin. The Becket Fund will not let them get away with it here,” Rassbach said May 30. “The Freedom from Religion Foundation has not identified any of its members who have actually seen or complained about the statue. These soldiers died fighting for our freedom—it is unfortunate that the Freedom From Religion Foundation wants to annihilate their sacrifices from public memory.” Dan Graves, president of Whitefish Mountain Resort, said the statue “honors men who gave their lives in World War II in defense of freedom from tyranny.” “It’s a historical monument unique to Big Mountain. Trying to erase that history, just because you have a different belief system, is wrong,” he said. Read more at CNA Daily News – US Source:

‘Me Before You’

In a new film audiences are taught it’s better and maybe even more romantic to die than to live with a disability. Some qualified voices strongly protest. The culture of death is making major inroads this month. With a new California physician-assisted suicide law going into effect, the efforts of so-called “right to die” advocates like the late Brittany Maynard seem to have paid off. And now a new film targets our imagination by portraying suicide as merciful, dignified, even romantic. “Me Before You,” adapted from the novel by Jojo Moyes, is about a rich young playboy who’s paralyzed from the neck down due to a motorcycle accident. While the film starts out on an encouraging note, its conclusion has left many disabled reviewers upset. And for good reason. After his accident, businessman and heir Will Traynor (played by Sam Claflin), wants to end his life rather than face a lifetime paralyzed and stuck in a wheelchair. But Louisa Clark (played by Emilia Clarke), has other plans and attempts to change his mind. She spends six months taking him to concerts, horse races, and tropical getaways, hoping to show him that life as a quadriplegic is still worth living. Of course in the process, they fall in love—a fact that makes it especially hard when Will decides to go through with his plan to die. This ham-fisted ending has the disabled community asking Hollywood: Why do you want us dead? The marketing for “Me Before You” featured the hashtag #LiveBoldly. One Twitter user with disability retorted, “Do you really want us to #LiveBoldly, or…just…#DieQuickly?” Wheelchair-bound actress and comedienne Liz Carr complained that Hollywood seems to have only one solution for people like her: “death.” “When non-disabled people talk of suicide,” she told The Guardian, “they’re discouraged and offered prevention…When a disabled person talks of it, though, suddenly the conversation is overtaken with words like ‘choice’ and ‘autonomy.’” Writing at Life Site News, Alex Schadenberg with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition calls the movie “insidious.” The main character’s death, he explains, is depicted as noble and life-affirming. “Not only is death portrayed as better than living with a disability,” he writes, “but the ultimate act of love, for a person who lives with a disability, is death.” Some try to defend the movie and physician-assisted suicide by insisting that so-called “death with dignity” is a private, individual decision. But as our friend Joni Eareckson Tada pointed out in a 2014 open letter to Brittany Maynard, it’s not just private. An individual’s decision to commit suicide in the midst of an illness or disability—whether that individual is real or on the silver screen—shapes how our culture treats others in the same situation. And Joni, for anyone who doesn’t know, is in the same situation as the film’s main character. Paralyzed at age 17, she’s spent decades advocating on behalf of the dignity of those with disability, and proclaiming the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings. In her statement about the film, she asks why it conveys the impression that “marriage to someone with quadriplegia is too hard, too demanding,” and just not possible. “As a quadriplegic who’s been married for nearly 34 years,” she writes, “I can say for certain that my husband and I have a deep and satisfying relationship, mostly because—not in spite of—my severe disability.” But my favorite response to “Me Before You” comes from eleven-year-old Ella Frech. Writing at Aleteia, this young girl asks the folks behind this movie, “Did you even do any research…? Did you ask people in chairs if they’d rather be a corpse than a cripple?” Ella, a world wheelchair-skating champion, doesn’t let her disability slow her down. And she understands why suicide is no less tragic for the disabled than it is for the able-bodied: “I believe we are all made in [God’s] image and likeness,” she writes. “…if our value comes from God, then nobody has the right to say someone who walks is worth more than someone who doesn’t.” Or, I would add, to say that lives with disabilities aren’t worth living. Further Reading and Information ‘Me Before You’: People with Disabilities Aren’t Better Off Dead As John has pointed out, the film industry makes an obvious statement about the value of life that is the complete opposite of the Christian teaching. Life is a gift from God, and the decision to end it by suicide, assisted or not, devalues the uniqueness of our humanity, whether we’re young and disabled, or old and feeble.

HILARIOUS: Liberal Journalists in Full FREAK OUT MODE After Trump Didn’t Let Them Ask Questions (VIDEO)

Liberal journalists took eight years off during Obama’s presidency. They didn’t ask him tough questions and they acted like guard dogs when anyone else tried to do so. Now, under President Trump, they think they’re so important that the future of the country depends on them being able to ask Trump tough questions. He keeps going around them and it’s driving them bonkers. At a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu this week, Trump took questions from conservative news outlets and the liberal media freaked out. From News Busters: Angry ABC in ‘Open Hostility’ at Trump for ‘Shutting Down’ Free Speech The journalists at ABC on Wednesday erupted in “open hostility” to Donald Trump, accusing the President of “shutting down part of the First Amendment” by not calling on network reporters at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jon Karl, Cecilia Vega and Matt Dowd repeatedly whined about the “conservative” questioners who were chosen, lamenting that the preferred narrative of the liberal media wasn’t highlighted. In the post-press conference coverage, Vega ranted, “I want to tell you about the open hostility right here in this room. You know, I’m sitting right here kind of in the middle of the pack of a number of journalists, mainstream reporters, if you will, and there is open anger in here about the fact the President did not take any real questions about the issue of the day.” … ABC analyst Dowd increased the hyperbole, stating that Trump was dismantling the First Amendment: This is two democracies, two important democracies in the world and basically the President of the United States is shutting down part of the First Amendment by not taking certain questions that are going to be any way antagonistic. Check out this video: Now compare that to the questions Obama got over the years: And these people want us to take them seriously now? Who do they think they’re kidding?

BREAKING: Russia Just Woke Up To Trump’s BRUTAL Response After They Vowed To Shoot Our Planes Down

American forces shot down a Syrian regime plane and Russia puffed its chest by taunting the USA by suggesting that they’ll shoot any aircraft flying west of the Euphrates in Syria. And no one cares. It’s Syria. Russia and USA should be tag teaming Syria with MOABs until there’s a seven-mile hole in the ground and we can look for diamonds. Have Syrians ever picked up a history book to see what happened to Hiroshima in 1945? Same can be done in Syria and Russia won’t care. I want to see America drop a Macho Man Randy Savage elbow from the top rope and smash Syria until there’s nothing left. Then Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan can finish off whatever is left of Syria. Then we send in the cleanup crew and let the town start over. Or, just keep it demolished forever. Maybe rich people can go on tours of the “town previously known as Syria” and raise money for surrounding populations or Caitlyn Jenner’s next sex change. Nevertheless, someone persisted in thinking this was newsworthy, so it must’ve been a slow day in fake news land where people actually think Russia and the United States would ever get into a war with each other anytime soon. This is a joke, right? Or is this some sort of bad daytime soap opera version of government television? Either way, I can’t take it Syrian serious. Following Russia’s vow to shoot down U.S. aircraft that fly west of the Euphrates in Syria over the weekend, U.S. forces have responded, saying they’ll not “hesitate to defend ourselves,” should a conflict arise, per Daily Mail. The promise was made after U.S. forces shot down a plane belonging to the Syrian regime. Reports say the Syrian plane had just dropped bombs near U.S. allies. They’re just running off at the mouth like everyone else does. Nothing to see here, move along. If reports are correct and the Syrian plane dropped bombs near American allies, then America shot the plane down, then what’s the problem? I see nothing wrong with that. One person dropped bombs, then got shot down for dropping said bombs. That’s kinda how things work. ‘We do not seek conflict with any party in Syria other than ISIS, but we will not hesitate to defend ourselves or our partners if threatened,’ Captain Jeff Davis told Fox News. Of course no one seeks conflict with anyone but ISIS. Although, someone might have to wipe out the entire Syria to make any difference. Seems like ISIS and North Korea are the two targets every country has their eyes on. They may not say it, but they’re thinking it and they’re watching very closely. ‘I’m confident that we are still communicating between our operations center and the Russia federation operations center,’ he said. ‘And I’m also confident that our forces have the capability to take care of themselves.’ Of course they can take care of themselves unless it’s a democrat military filled with transgenders or women. If that’s the case, then that military would be doomed. Even worse, it could be little Antifa boys in handkerchiefs from the dollar store. If they keep their room clean in the basement, then mommy and daddy give them a few dollars per week. From there, they purchase Antifa costumes at the dollar store and make YouTube videos on their cell phone. Sometimes they march in crowds and act like people are scared of them, but people just giggle and ask if they have to go home when the street lights come on. Department of Defense spokesman Major Adrian JT Rankine-Galloway additionally vowed that the U.S. military would not be deterred by threats. Yeah we know. Next? He said they would continue conducting ‘operations throughout Syria, targeting ISIS forces and providing air support for Coalition partner forces on the ground.’ ‘As a result of recent encounters involving pro-Syrian Regime and Russian forces, we have taken prudent measures to reposition aircraft over Syria so as to continue targeting ISIS forces while ensuring the safety of our aircrew given known threats in the battlespace,’ he said. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, in comments to Russian news agencies, compared the downing to “helping the terrorists that the U.S. is fighting against.” “What is this, if not an act of aggression,” he asked. Meanwhile, the U.S.-backed opposition fighters said Assad’s forces have been attacking their positions in the northern province of Raqqa and warned that if such attacks continue, the fighters will take action. Just drop the bombs and let us know how it plays out. Maybe record the explosions so we can grab a quick YouTube clip out of it to entertain people with. You know everyone loves watching explosions on Myth Busters and military videos, so make sure it’s recorded. I wonder what the mainstream media will turn into a big deal next.

Preaching to the Choir

“When we shrink from the sight of something, when we shroud it in euphemism, that is usually a sign of inner conflict, of unsettled hearts, a sign that something has gone wrong in our moral reasoning.” * * * The above is an astute observation, all the more impressive for describing in 50 words or less the chief reason we’re still letting abortion flourish 40-plus years after Roe v. Wade: There’s something terribly wrong with our moral reasoning. But it came from a book titled “Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy.” That’s right, animals. Human beings? That’s another story. Please understand, I am very much an animal lover myself and often quote Jonah 4:11 in defense of my God-given affection for them. But try to find admissions similar to the one above regarding the callous irresponsibility we’ve exhibited with respect to the brutal extermination of pre-born people. Most of us have grown so accustomed to unprotestingly coexisting with industrialized murder that it hardly elicits the least little twitch on our moral galvanometer. If EKGs could measure emotional upset over abortion, the majority of us would be flatliners. We’ve plain gotten used to babies being killed in America at the stupefying rate of two per minute. Our response to the silent screams of those being aborted has been, for the most part, to simply drown it all out by “singing a little louder.” We deem it more tolerable to let the massacre go on than to live up to our responsibility to end it. Most of us manage to live relatively normal, carefree lives fully aware we are in the midst of a holocaust. We not only don’t lose sleep over it, we deliberately shrink from (or complain about) the display of it. We avoid like the plague the implications of the Second Great Commandment (“love thy neighbor”) in connection with it. When it comes up in conversation, we treat it as an unwelcome intruder into our “positive and encouraging” abundant Christian lives. We shroud it in euphemism, calling it almost anything but murder. And we regard as guilt-manipulators those who try to rally us to what, in reality, is just basic compassionate Christian duty. Why do we do this? Why do we act as if the unbridled slaughter of innocents is something we don’t need to be utterly consumed to see abolished? Why are we not daily in unmitigated anguish over allowing this atrocity to continue decade after decade? Why do we have so little burden to take responsibility for it? Why do we treat it as merely some despicable thing that, if we just hide our heads in the sand long enough, will eventually go away on its own? Like the man said, we do it because something is wrong with us. Desperately wrong. What is that “something”? And who is the “us” and “we” smitten with this dread moral disease? Listen up, choir. If you didn’t pick up on it, the “us” and “we” is you and me—i.e., Christians. Say What? Please don’t misunderstand: Almost all Christians dutifully concede that abortion is “just awful” and that “something needs to be done about it.” But if you’re waiting for an uncoerced confession that something has gone wrong in our moral reasoning, don’t leave your engine running. The number of those willing to admit that we Christians are largely to blame for the proliferation of commercialized child-killing, for allowing the earth to be turned into a giant abortion factory, is only slightly greater than statistical zero. The reality is, most Christians regard abortion as a problem attributable to anyone but us. “After all,” the reasoning goes, “we’re pro-life. We’d love to see abortion end. Abortion isn’t the church’s problem; it’s the culture’s problem. If anyone needs to change anything, it’s pro-choicers, not pro-lifers.” Would that it were so. But we know better than to let such monstrous evil thrive unresisted; the world doesn’t—at least not like we do. And yet here we are, 522 months into this nightmare, still afraid to thunder unremittingly from every pulpit in the land Love’s mandate to rescue those being led away to death. So, yes, this is a message for the church, for born-again, Bible-believing Christians. Judgment begins at the house of God for good reason. Because if salt loses its saltiness, there is no substitute; the corruption of society will continue, and even accelerate, unchecked. To put that in the vernacular, if we don’t do the work of unitedly, heroically advocating for our pre-born neighbors, it won’t get done. So hearken, beloved. There will be a test at the end of the period. We need to get this down because the Headmaster, according to reliable sources, has no pleasure in fools. Just What is Our ‘Disease’? If we were to interview the aborted, they could tell us in a heartbeat what our disease is. But since (thanks largely to us) they have no heartbeat, others must tell us what we’re too proud to admit: that we love ourselves, not our neighbor. We’ll share the gospel, but we won’t live it. We’ll declare “God is love,” but we won’t show it. Not if it costs. And it would cost to show sacrificial love to “the least of these.” But to share the gospel of Christ’s love without living the gospel of Christ’s love is to deny the gospel of Christ’s love. It is to say in words “God loves people,” and then argue tenfold more convincingly by actions, “well, not really.” As long as we neglect the pre-born children Jesus loves, we mock Jesus and His gospel. What abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison said of slavery is precisely where every one of us should be on abortion. In 1831 he wrote: I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen—but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single inch—AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead. If Garrison’s words don’t epitomize our attitude and intent with respect to the pre-born, the diagnosis is indeed dire: We are sick unto death with that moral psychopathy the Bible callshardness of heart. So What Is the Cure? The cure for our illness is repentance. Break the silence and apathy; give no more “moderate alarm.” Advocate publicly, passionately, for those being led to slaughter, until this holocaust is a thing of the past or Jesus returns.

Rachel Maddow confronted Bernie Sanders last night about his supporters protesting and disrupting Hillary Clinton rallies, saying things like she should drop out or go to prison or she’s a liar. Sanders said he’s not “comfortable with people disrupting other people’s meetings.” Maddow asked him point-blank, “If they’re not disrupting inside, do you want your supporters protesting outside Hillary Clinton events?” This was his answer: “I don’t want it. That’s––we had nothing to do with that. I mean, that’s what people––you know, we have millions of supporters and people all over the country do their thing. If people want to protest outside, absolutely, that’s their right to do that.” Maddow asked if he’s choosing to be “neutral” on whether his people should protest Clinton rallies. He said, “Absolutely, why not?” He went on to assure that he and Clinton share the same goal of defeating Donald Trump in the fall. Watch above, via MSNBC.

Just In: McCain Faced Execution For Treason?!? Here’s What He Doesn’t Want You To Know!

Senator John McCain is back in his favorite place, the headlines. The man has always been! The man has always been a go-to for reporters whenever they’re itching to get a Republican to trash his other party members. The more conservative, the more hatred McCain spits their way. He’s been leading the Republican charge against Trump, likely very jealous that someone like Trump was able to succeed where he failed, and against an amateur politician in Obama at that. As reported at the Powdered Whig Society, the mythos surrounding McCain is very powerful, and certainly the reason he has made it so far in the political world. But not everything you’ve heard about his heroic past is true. During the presidential campaign, Trump had some choice words for the senator, questioning his patriotism at times, and daring to challenge the hero mythos that has been built around McCain. A lot of folks will immediately refuse to listen to you is you don’t call McCain a hero, or even begin to question his service. A lot of folks will immediately refuse to listen to you is you don’t call McCain a hero, or even begin to question his service. But the truth about his infamous time as a POW in a Vietnam is not as cut and dry as it’s made out to be. Even if every claim about his past was true, it doesn’t excuse his awful political record, but unfortunately, many feel it difficult to criticize him precisely because of his past service. Which is wrong, and quite frankly, dangerous. Even if every claim about his past was true, it doesn’t excuse his awful political record, but unfortunately, many feel it difficult to criticize him precisely because of his past service. Which is wrong, and quite frankly, dangerous. At least 1,205 American POWs were kept by North Vietnam according to records recovered at the end of the Cold War. President’s Clinton and Russia’s Boris Yeltsin instituted a search of Russia’s gulags looking for their remains with no success. In 1993, armed with testimony from a former high-ranking Czech security official, a systematic search of archives in Prague that recorded the fate of 200 missing US POWs from Vietnam was mysteriously blocked by Senator John McCain. Apparently, 33 POWs faced execution for treason after Vietnam until Nixon pardoned all POWs. On that list was none other than McCain himself. Why? Well, according to Colonel Ted Guy, who was McCain’s commander was a POW, the senator collaborated with the communist Vietcong.McCain has also been accused of spilling information that resulted in the downing of 60 US aircraft, and training some of the North Vietnamese air defense personnel. To top things off, McCain is also accused of making 30 propaganda videos against the US, which he moved to have classified once he became a senator. There are other accusations, but these are the most widely substantiated of the lot. McCain owes his career to the fact he was a POW. His backstory propelled him to the Senate, where he’s been pushing bad policy ever since. We must remember that just because someone did something good or heroic in the past, it doesn’t make them above reproach in the present.

There, each of them were questioned about national security, military affairs and veterans issues by host Matt Lauer and the audience, which was made up mostly by members of the military. According to Allen B. West, Clinton quickly went into panic mode when a veteran of the Navy asked her how anyone who’s entrusted with America’s most sensitive information can have any confidence in her when she clearly corrupted our national security.

Romanian hacker with access to Clinton emails found dead in jail cell

Christian Times Newspaper has learned that Guccifer, the Romanian hacker currently being held on charges for hacking Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, has been found in his Virginia jail cell, dead of an apparent suicide. Guccifer, also known as Marcel Lazar Lehel, was extradited to the United States to face charges after openly admitting to repeatedly hacking Hillary Clinton’s email server. This claim occurred in the midst of an FBI probe that was concluded this morning by Director Comey. Lehel claimed that the server was “like an open orchid on the Internet” and that it “was easy … easy for me, for everybody.” After the FBI cleared Clinton of any charges Tuesday morning, a rumor began circulating that Guccifer was missing from his jail cell. Tuesday night, reports began spreading that the Romanian hacker was found after the evening’s dinner hanging from a rope in his personal cell. Comey, in his statement Tuesday morning, alluded to the fact that American enemies and individual actors most likely accessed Hillary Clinton’s emails, but Guccifer was the only person to come forward with knowledge of their contents. Reports are still developing, and CTN is waiting on statements from authorities. It is worth noting that the Clinton White House faced allegations that Hillary and her aides were involved in the questionable suicide of White House employee Vince Foster in 1995.

During the one-hour affair, Obama answered questions ranging from the commutation of whistleblower Chelsea Manning’s sentence to personal queries concerning his and First Lady Michelle Obama’s approach when talking to their daughters about the 2016 election — not quite a hard-hitting last inquiry for an outgoing president who, as the Los Angeles Times recently noted, managed to keep U.S. military forces “at war for all eight years of [his] tenure.” To Craig Murray, an author, broadcaster, and human rights activist, Obama’s comment clarified that the U.S. government has “no evidence of how WikiLeaks got the DNC material.” Obama’s statement is important, Murray continues, because it “undermines the stream of completely evidence-free nonsense that has been emerging from the [U.S.] intelligence services this last two months, in which a series of suppositions have been strung together to make unfounded assertions that have been repeated again and again in the mainstream media.” Referring to the emails “that were leaked” and not the servers that were hacked, Murray adds, Obama appears to agree with several experts on this subject, making it clear the entire ordeal revolving around the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is but a smokescreen. “I have been repeating that this was a leak, not a hack, until I am blue in the face,” Murray added. But he isn’t the only one. William Binney, a whistleblower who previously worked as Technical Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), has also stated this incident wasn’t a hack. It was a leak. If it had been a hack, Binney said, the NSA would be able to provide the public with details regarding the actual attack. But from the reports presented so far, that’s clearly not the case. Adding that Obama’s reference to the leaked material “appears very natural, fluent and unforced,” Murray celebrates, saying that it “is good to have the truth finally told.” source

Fox News Exposed a Massive Fraud at Clinton Foundation

Shocking details about the Clinton Foundation were uncovered a while back by Fox News. While Hillary Clinton’s supporters in the liberal media are busy attacking Donald Trump, we’re learning that the State Department sought a major land deal with a Nigerian firm with ties to the Clinton Foundation. Of course, this happened while Hillary was President Obama’s Secretary of State. This is a bombshell report: Shortly after Hillary Clinton left the Obama administration, the State Department quietly took steps to purchase real estate in Nigeria from a firm whose parent company is owned by a major donor to the Clinton Foundation, records obtained by Fox News show. On March 20, 2013, William P. Franklin, an “international realty specialist” at the State Department, emailed Mary E. Davis, an American diplomat stationed in Africa, instructing her to “put on Post letterhead” an “expression of interest” by the department in purchasing property at Eko Atlantic, a massive real estate development off the coast of Lagos. Franklin further instructed that the signed letter was to be “delivered to Ronald Chagoury.” The draft letter, also obtained by Fox News, was undated and addressed to Chagoury care of his firm South Energyx Nigeria Limited, a subsidiary of the larger Chagoury Group that is spearheading the Eko Atlantic real estate venture. The State Department letter sought, among other things, to confirm that the department could proceed with “acquisition of the real property…[at] the asking price of $$1,250 per square meter.” Overtures to real estate developers from State Department officials scouting locations for embassies, consulates and other diplomatic facilities would ordinarily not arouse interest. But in this case, the budding transaction – never completed, the department now says – raised eyebrows because Ronald Chagoury is the brother and business partner, in the Chagoury Group, of Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-born businessman whom federal records show has donated between $$1 and $$5 million to the Clinton Foundation. Indeed, Gilbert Chagoury’s friendship with the Clintons can be traced back to the Clinton presidency. In the mid-1990s, Chagoury donated nearly $$500,000 to a voter-registration drive designed to help Democratic candidates, attended a White House dinner for premium donors, and met with high-ranking officials in the Clinton White House – including Susan Rice, now President Obama’s national security adviser – who were shaping U.S. policy toward Nigeria. More recently, the Chagourys’ close ties to the Clintons generated headlines when a separate series of emails from 2009 – between Doug Band, an aide to former President Clinton and Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary Clinton – revealed the eagerness of the State Department to oblige a request for Chagoury to be granted access to senior officials working on Lebanon. The State Department’s outreach to the Chagoury family, looking to buy property from the brothers, came less than a month after former President Clinton himself toured the Eko Atlantic project – for the second time. The first occasion was the ground breaking, in 2009, in which the former president participated. By all accounts, Eko Atlantic represents a staggeringly ambitious undertaking: the dredging of millions of tons of sand from the sea floor off Victoria Island and the creation of an estimated 3.5 square miles of new land, on which the Chagourys aim to establish what they call a “21st century city … for residential, commercial, financial and tourist development.” Mr. Clinton toured the Eko Atlantic site for the second time on February 21, 2013 – twenty days after his wife left the State Department – to celebrate the Chagourys’ reclamation of 5 million square meters of land, a critical juncture in the project.

Former NFL star Hershel Walker pays price for supporting Donald Trump – gets blackballed by haters [Video]

When it comes to the left one thing is certain, they do not tolerate dissent from the accepted narrative. Unfortunately for former NFL superstar Hershel Walker, he is learning this the hard way after coming out in support of Donald Trump. Walker, who once appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” and played on the USFL’s New Jersey Generals, a team that Trump owned for two seasons, believes the presumptive GOP nominee is pushing to “get back to what’s best for this country.” And he’s paying a price for that belief. Walker told TMZ Sports he’s been dropped from multiple speaking engagements for publicly backing Trump. “Walker says he started getting axed from speaking gigs — most recently getting canceled from an event in California because organizers were afraid Walker would attract anti-Trump protesters,” the celebrity news website reported. The former player did not name the groups that dropped him, but did say it has happened several times — he spoke with TMZ Sports about the sad development this week on their show on Fox Sports:

Rev. Bill Keller has established a petition on his website that he is asking all “born-again Bible-believing Christians” to sign. The NBC petition demands NBC Universal apologize on all of their media properties for mocking and demeaning Christians, as well as not giving equal representation for the views of born-again Bible-believing Christians on the NBC programs when they are discussing Biblical sins such as homosexuality, the perversion of Biblical marriage between a man and a woman, and the murder of innocent babies in the womb. In a recent media interview, Keller stated: “It is time for Christians to start speaking out and taking a stand for our faith. As someone who has spent the past 16 years reaching out to the masses outside of the four walls of the church, ministering and sharing the gospel with the lost and hurting who are not Christians, and sharing a biblical worldview on the issues of the day in non-Christian media outlets, the reason this nation is in spiritual free fall and in total rebellion to God our Creator is because the church has created its own subculture and left the masses for the wolves of Satan to devour!”

SHOCK: Orlando Terrorist’s ”Gay Lover” Comes Forward, Says THIS Is Why He Killed 49 People..

About a day after Omar Mateen murdered 49 people at an Orlando gay night club, rumors started swirling that the radical Islamist may have been homosexual himself. Mateen was married with a child, but you just never know anymore. Here’s what an alleged former lover has to say on why Mateen did what he did… From The Blaze: A man claiming to be the ex-lover of the Orlando attacker Omar Mateen came forward Tuesday in an exclusive interview with Univision, saying he engaged in a sexual relationship the shooter. “I’ve cried like you have no idea,” the man, identified only as “Miguel,” told Univision News. “But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism.” Instead, the heavily disguised man believes Mateen “did it for revenge.” Miguel claimed to have met Mateen via Grindr, a popular gay dating app. He told Univision host Maria Elena Salinas that he met the radicalized Muslim between 15 and 20 times during the span of their relationship, which ended in December of last year, when Miguel moved away from Orlando. Mateen’s alleged lover said the two engaged in a “friends with benefits”-style relationship, adding that the Orlando shooter, who killed 49 people in his violent raid, was “100 percent” gay. When news of the shooting first broke, Miguel said he was surprised because… KEEP READING ON NEXT PAGE >>>

Obama admin admits they lost track of Orlando terrorists wife – you can’t make this stuff up! [Video]

How incompetent does one have to be to lose someone who is a potential co-conspirator in a terrorist attack that killed 49 people? That’s a question only the Obama administration can answer. On Tuesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch told reporters in Orlando that she has no idea where Noor Salman, the wife of Orlando massacre shooter Omar Mateen, is even though she is under investigation and could face prosecution. “Has the shooter’s wife left the state of Florida?” a reporter asked the attorney general. “Right now, I don’t know exactly the answer to that,” Lynch responded. “I believe she was going to travel but I do not know exactly her location now.” Salman is a tough person to find apparently because Mateen’s father, just days ago, also claimed he had no knowledge of her whereabouts. Maybe someone ought to be keeping a better eye on the person who might have been complicit in the slaughter of 49 Americans.

Dr. Eowyn, Posted On

Chuck Schumer’s warning to Trump

On August 18, 2017, after one year of being Donald Trump’s campaign adviser and White House Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon confirmed that he had left the White House. He said (source: The Weekly Standard): “The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over. We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.” I have my reservations about Alex Jones, not least of which is that there are good reasons to suspect he’s actually the supposedly-dead Bill Hicks. See: My reservations aside, what Alex Jones said yesterday, September 11, on his InfoWars TV show, is simply too important to ignore. Claiming his source as “high-level sources” — “people who talk directly to Trump” — Jones said that like President Ronald Reagan, President Trump is being drugged. Note: Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s dementia in 1994, 5 years after he left the White House. On June 5, 2004, he died of pneumonia, complicated by Alzheimer’s. Beginning at the 12:15 mark in the video below, Jones said: “I was told this by high level sources, and it was evident and especially after [President] Reagan was shot in his first year in office when he was acting like Trump and doing the right things, he [Reagan] never really recovered. They gave him [Reagan] cold blood and his transfusion that causes brain damage. They slowly gave him small amounts of sedatives. It’s known that most presidents end up getting drugged — small dosages of sedatives till they build it up. Trump’s such a bull, he hasn’t fully understood it yet. But I’ve talked to people — multiple ones — and they believe that they are putting a slow sedative that they’re building up that’s also addictive, in his Diet Cokes and in his iced tea, and that the President by 6:00 or 7:00 at night is basically slurring his words and is drugged. Now first they had to isolate him to do that. But yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve talked to people that talked to the President now at 9:00 at night, he is slurring his words, and I’m gonna leave it at that. I’ve talked to folks that talk to him directly. So notice, ‘Oh, he’s mentally ill, he’s got Alzheimer’s!’. They isolate him, then you start slowly building up the dose . . . so that you get an immunity to it. You’re building it slowly so that the person doesn’t notice it. First, it’s almost zero, just a tiny bit. Then a little more, and then your brain subconsciously becomes addicted to it and wants it. And so as the dose gets bigger and bigger, you get more comfortable in it. The President’s about two months into being covertly drugged. Now I’m risking my life by telling you all this. I was physically sick before I went on air…. This is the kind of thing that gets you killed.” If President Trump is slurring his words by 6 or 7 p.m., wouldn’t his wife Melania notice it? I don’t watch TV news. Readers who do, have you noticed any changes to President Trump’s appearance, speech and demeanor? Please pray for President Trump. Pray for America. ~Eowyn Advertisements

This year, new research shows that 50 per cent of us will be tucking into pancakes on Tuesday, while only 41 per cent of us will be marking Valentine's Day a few days later. According to YouGov research, commissioned by Homepride Flour to mark one of their busiest weeks of the year, only 15 per cent of those questioned (more than 2,000 people) consider it an important religious occasion.

Shrove Tuesday marks the last day before Lent, traditionally a period of abstinence, associated with clearing your cupboards of goods such as flour, sugar, fats and eggs.

Kelleigh Nelson -- The Absence of Shame, Manners and Decency

THE ABSENCE OF SHAME, MANNERS, AND DECENCY By Kelleigh Nelson December 26, 2012 NewsWithViews.com The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is of all things most shameful and vile. -Plato "Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle." -George Washington But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law. -Galatians 5:22, 23 KJV And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. -Luke 6:31 KJV Shame is defined as the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable, improper, ridiculous, etc., done by oneself or another and a fact or circumstance bringing disgrace or regret. (We sure aren't seeing this too often.) Manners are defined as ways of behaving with reference to polite standards; social comportment or a person's outward bearing; and a way of speaking to and treating others. (You see this in the south more than the north, but it's not what it was 25 years ago when we moved here.) Decency is defined as conformity to the recognized standard of propriety, good taste, modesty, etc. I could write an article on this alone! Sadly today, all three components; shame, manners, and decency are lacking or totally missing from civilized society. There is a breakdown, and with the economic situation America now faces, the future looks bleak. I would bet there's not one of you reading this that hasn't commented on the lack of shame, manners, or decency in today's society. Surely, you can all give me numerous examples. How about cell phones and babies in theatres, and they never remove the crying baby or turn off the cell phones, or stop talking when it rings! How about the people with a full cart of groceries who will rush to beat you in line when you have only one item in your hand? Or the grocery parking lot which is where I notice a total disrespect for those in vehicles. When driving in, you stop because someone is walking across the lane to enter the grocery. Invariably, if they are young people, they will look at you and continue to walk slowly...yes, it's the attitude. If they're older, like me, they'll pick up speed to get out of your way quickly. That's the difference in consideration and manners. And here's a beef my husband has, when you're talking to someone and their cell phone rings, they rush to answer it despite your conversation. Then there's traffic, and the people that are simply too good to wait in line like the rest of us. Of course, these are all minor irritations, but it's a sign of the daily disintegration of civility. Then too, there's the lip, eyebrow, tongue, ear, breast, and navel pierced and tattooed folks that make one wonder why they'd do that to their bodies. How about those "tramp stamps" where the female has to bend over for you to see it? I actually had someone apply for a position in a shirt that was so wrinkled it had to have been slept in, but who also came in with a nose ring (like those in a bull's nose). Obviously he wasn't interested in having a job. Today, you can't go to a movie or turn on the television without violence or sex, and we're all used to it... Hollywood no longer has the Hays Morality codes of the 1930s. Today the stars have multiple out-of-wedlock children, affairs, divorces, drugs, alcoholism, theft, and even in some cases, jail and prison time. Whatever happened to the Waltons, Highway to Heaven, I Love Lucy, the Milton Berle Show, Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, etc.? Remember Michael Jackson always grabbing his crotch? Or how about Justin Timberlake pulling the tab that allowed Janet Jackson's breast to be exposed on the nationally televised Super Bowl game. Profanity is leaking over into television from the big screen and cable...and it won't be long until God's name is taken in vain on ABC, NBC, and CBS. I'm appalled at what I'm already hearing. Then there's open warfare against our culture when you see things like the Muslim Day Parade in NYC. What about the stoning of Christians in Dearborn, Michigan by raging Muslims and the police failed to protect the Christian citizens from immigrants who have no intention of assimilating? In her poem read at West Marion Elementary School in McDowell County, North Carolina, a proud and patriotic little girl included the lines — “He prayed to God for peace, he prayed to God for strength” — to describe the actions of her grandfather during the war. But when a member of the community supposedly complained about the poem's mention of God and its inclusion in the ceremony, school officials forced the girl to remove the offending lines before presenting it at the Veterans Day observance. We kick God out of a little girl's poem and we expect to be a nation blessed by God? What is civil about this and what did it teach the little girl? In the United Kingdom, sick babies are now allowed to die by starvation and dehydration, just like the "passive euthanasia" done to America's elderly on a regular basis for the last four or more decades. Now the government healthcare in England will do the same to the littlest and most innocent who need care. Babies are thrown away and the elderly are thrown into nursing homes that withhold food and water at the family's request. Death by dehydration is extremely painful and can take up to ten days. I reported what we're doing to babies and their little bodies in the United States in my article, Culture of Death. Society's disregard for the babies and the elderly is a perfect example of our cultural destruction. It pains me to say it, but America is morally bad, very, very bad. This is today's society...gone are the days where respectability, courtesy, and kindness were common. Today's youth believe, and were trained in the government schools to feel that us older folks have a responsibility to just die and get out of the way. A perfect example is the letter I received from a woman who read my last article, God Is Still On The Throne, and here's what she told me about her son in college: "My son's NICE bicycle he's had for years, and which he uses for class just to get around because he enjoys being outdoors & it saves gasoline, was locked, and stolen the week before Thanksgiving at school during the night. The Sunday before Thanksgiving, a girl was found DEAD on his hall in the dorm! Still under investigation! He just called to tell me he forgot his book bag downstairs in the dorm last night and when he got to his room, he remembered it. He went to retrieve it, and his $$100+ TX Instrument calculator he WILL NEED FOR HIS SEMESTER TEST NEXT WEEK in Math, was stolen. Think I told you about these things before, but it is RAMPANT and continuing. THE ROT in our society and culture literally takes my breath away. And we're paying thousands of dollars to send him to school for what?! I honestly do not hold out much hope at all for the world, for America, because so much ROT has been allowed to destroy so much of all that is HOLY & GOOD in the eyes of the Lord. God's WILL, will be done....not ours. It may just be "it is on our watch 'The End' begins..." We are sliding with accelerated speed into the abyss. Knowing we will be with the Lord is my only comfort, it's the getting there that is worrisome. Another thing is so many of us know what is going on and the solutions, but there is no action. There is no movement at all in the population to strip the corrupt from their self anointed thrones of power. We tried peaceably, and failed in the face of total government corruption. Kelleigh, how disgusting to read the information provided regarding voter fraud and it's stamp of approval by the GOP in 1982. I never knew....reading your facts, explains that which is totally irrational." She is so right, the apathy is a stamp of approval to the corruption in our society. How Different It Was In the 1930s The depression of the 1930's left 20% or more of the population unemployed. I remember my grandmother telling me how those without jobs and food would somehow mark the homes with chalk that would allow vagrants to work for food or were given a few cents in change to help. My grandparents went to the bank back then and asked if they could just pay the interest and bypass paying against the principal until the economy improved. This saved their dairy farm and helped them to help others. There was no theft of their huge gardens, no attacks from roving bands of unemployed, no need to guard their farm in any way. The nation lived through that horrible time, and the people helped each other. I'm afraid it would not be this way today. Arnold Toynbee started his 12 volume work, "A Study of History," in the 1930s and finished in the mid 1960s. He died in 1975. He wrote, "Of the 22 civilizations that have appeared in history, 19 of them collapsed when they reached the moral state American is in today." What do you suppose Toynbee would think of the moral decay of America in 2013? Should the impending fiscal collapse arrive next year, what do you suppose those who are used to getting government funds will do? We had better be fully prepared. I have not even touched on the rot of our local, state, and federally elected officials, Hollywood's debauchery, the decay of education in the government schools (where children are allowed to abuse the teachers and get passing grades when they've learned nothing), or the failure of the family to raise up a child as they should go (Proverbs 22:6), or the departure of honor to parents by their children. You all know the depths of depravity we've reached in all the arenas of public life in America. My friend who wrote to me about the article pinpointed the problems in America through what has happened to her son. She also mentioned "there is no action on the part of the American people to strip the corrupt from their self-appointed thrones of power." The smell of decay in America is everywhere. I've said it before, sin used to hide in the back alleys and now it marches down Main Street USA. Toynbee is right, our civilization and culture are collapsing before our eyes, and the people are silent. Why? Because the majority of them are ignorant of the problems and have been in that warm pot of water too long to clearly see the rot. Here's what I am asking you to do. I want you to give 10 minutes a day to prayer about our country. I don't mean the passive, "God help us, we're a mess," type prayers. I mean specific prayers to Him. First, repent for our Nation, (Ezekiel 18:21-23) and be specific, list all our sins that you can think of...that alone would take more than 10 minutes. Then ask Him to help you and to help others to return us to a Nation that deserves the blessings of God Almighty. I talk to God in the car because like the apostles, if I try to pray at bedtime, I fall asleep. Plead for His mercy in all the areas you list. Keep in mind that we are part of the problem and that we have allowed the destruction of our country by our failures to act. Do as Nehemiah did in chapter one of his book. "Before approaching God on behalf of his people, Nehemiah mourns, fasts, humbles himself – for days! This man has a tremendous sense of the holy and awesome nature of the God he approaches. There is no “name it and claim it” attitude here. Nehemiah is preparing to plead for God’s mercy, and he understands something that we seem to too often miss: mercy, by definition, is undeserved. Mercy is not something we can “claim;” it is something we can only humbly ask for from the ashes of true sorrow over sin. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: And so, Nehemiah humbles himself. He mourns over sin – his own sin (no self-righteous attitudes here!), the sin of his family, the sin of his people. He confesses these things before God in humility and doesn’t mince words; they have acted “wickedly." [Link] I believe it is up to us to not only "study to show ourselves approved unto God," (II Timothy 2:15) but to "pray without ceasing." (I Thessalonians 5:16-18). It is up to us, and us alone. The time is short and it is the time for harvest. We are to be about our Father's business, and that means bringing in the sheep. It is obvious our lukewarm pulpits have failed, but we can be ambassadors for Christ. We can change our nation by changing the hearts of the people.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing Us Softly

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 1 By Kelleigh Nelson February 6, 2013 NewsWithViews.com Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless. –Pearl S. Buck Condemned German: "But we didn't think it would go that far." American judge: "It went that far the very first time you condemned an innocent human being." –Conversation in the American motion picture "Judgment at Nuremburg." "From the Soviet gulag to the Nazi concentration camps and the killing fields of Cambodia, history teaches that granting the state legal authority to kill innocent individuals has dreadful consequences." –Pete Du Pont, former Delaware governor Passive Euthanasia My dear mother died on July 19, 1994. She had Alzheimer's, but her death was hurried along because she was deprived of food and water. My baby sister had medical power of attorney and was convinced by the nursing home physicians that mother would feel no pain. When I found out, I called the nursing home in Illinois and spoke to the medical director. I told him I did not want my mother starved and dehydrated to death. He told me she wouldn't feel anything. He never said she was receiving any pain medication. I responded that there wasn't much difference between what he was doing to my mother and what was done by the Nazis to concentration camp prisoners. He answered that my mother could feel nothing because she didn't have her brain function any longer. Of course, being starved and dehydrated doesn't help with brain function of prisoners either. I hung up and wept bitter tears. Momma died three days later. I later found out that what was done to my mother had been common practice for several decades. My mother did not deserve this end. Hydration would have kept her body comfortable until God took her home. This is called "Passive Euthanasia." Euthanasia is Greek for "good death," but there is nothing good about dying from a lack of hydration. [Link] Passive Euthanasia is all too common in America today. It is hastening the death of a person by altering some form of support and letting nature take its course. Examples include such things as turning off respirators, halting medications, discontinuing food and water thus allowing a person to dehydrate or starve to death, or failure to resuscitate. Passive euthanasia also includes giving a patient large doses of morphine to control pain, in spite of the likelihood that the painkiller will suppress respiration and cause death earlier than it otherwise would have happened. Such doses of painkillers have a dual effect of relieving pain and hastening death. Administering such medication is regarded as ethical in most political jurisdictions and by most medical societies, including the special "cocktail" given by Hospice employees. These procedures are performed on terminally ill, suffering persons so that natural death will occur sooner. They are also commonly performed on persons in a persistent vegetative state; for example, individuals with massive brain damage or in a coma from which they likely will not regain consciousness. The slippery slope of murdering the vegetative or terminally ill started in l935 in Britain, in l938 in the US, and in l980 in Canada. The British and American groups were very small and insignificant for the next two decades. It became bigger and more vocal after the hugely-publicized Karen Ann Quinlan "right-to-die" case in New Jersey in l976, which revealed to the public the extent of modern medical technology to extend life indefinitely in a persistent vegetative state. Opinion polls show average support of 60 percent in the USA, 74 percent in Canada, and 80 percent in Britain. When actually voting in official ballot measures, the support has been 46 percent in Washington State (l991), 46 percent in California (l992), and 51 percent in Oregon (l994), which now has legalized assisted suicide. As for physicians, numerous opinion polls indicate that half the medical profession would like to see it made law. It also appears that about 15 percent of physicians already practice it on what they believe are justifiable occasions. Some leaderships of the professional medical associations remain adamantly opposed, but they seem to be declining rapidly. Those who object to euthanasia are the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, as well as fundamentalist protestant denominations. Killing an innocent is a crime against the 6th commandment, “Thou shalt not murder." This commandment forbids the killing of the innocent, not the killing of the guilty, which can be sometimes ordered by the state for the common good. This is clear in the Old testament where Moses also gave laws to kill the guilty, and in the doctrine of the above mentioned churches. Euthanasia is a crime against the same commandment, just as is abortion. They are both murder. Three people have told me about deaths in their family and what has happened with hospital employees and Hospice care. My mother's experience was in an Alzheimer's nursing home. Their stories are going to become more common with Obama Care. Here is the American physician's original Hippocratic Oath. (Russian and Islamic physicians take different oaths.) The Original Oath of Hippocrates "I SWEAR by Apollo the physician and Asclepius, (the Greek god of medicine and healing) and Hygieia, (daughter of the god of medicine, Asclepius, and the goddess/personification of health) and Panaceia, (another daughter and goddess of Universal remedy) and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment, this Oath and this covenant. To hold him who has taught me this Art as equal to me as my parents, and to live my life in partnership, and if he is in need of money, to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brother in male lineage and to teach them this art, if they desire to learn it, without fee and covenant, to give a share of the precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else. I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick, according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly, I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness, I will guard my life and my Art. I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work. Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all internal injustice, of all mischief, and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves. What I may see or hear, in the course of treatment or even outside the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about. If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite be my lot." Obviously, one does not have to swear allegiance to a Greek polytheistic deity, but swearing the oath to a personal God is a tie that binds. The rest of the oath is pretty clear. Of special import is the portion I highlighted. Sadly today, our medical personnel have decided to speed death along rather than giving aid and comfort to the sick and suffering. They've become the "god" who decides life and death. I fear this practice on the sick and elderly will accelerate in the coming years, no, actually I know it will accelerate. For 40 years we have murdered the most innocent, America's unborn babies. When I wrote the article, THE CULTURE OF DEATH, I said I would write another article regarding after-birth abortion proponents and their plans. I couldn't bring myself to face the research I'd collected to write that article. The truth of our death culture is often more than I can bear especially with the babies. The elderly in our country have been the targets for decades as well. Instead of being cherished and honored, they are being treated as "useless eaters" that should quickly die. We need to know what to expect, what to alert our loved ones to watch for, and what to tell them we want at the end of our lives. In 1993, Dr. Reed Bell wrote the book, Prescription Death: Compassionate Killers in the Medical Profession. He discussed the changes that had taken place in European countries over the previous 25 years. These changes are now happening in America at an exponential speed. Our culture has changed from a basic Judeo-Christian ethos and ethic to the prevailing secular humanist ethic and ethos. We have moved from a sanctity-of-life ethic to a "quality-of-life" ethic. Since 1973, we have accepted the right of women to kill their unborn babies for any reason at all because it's a woman's "right to choose," and now, with Obama Care, we are moving rapidly to condoning suicide and the "right-to-die." One of the most frightening aspects of the euthanasia movement is called crypthanasia, (active euthanasia on sick people without their knowledge). A typical case might be an older person who has suffered a heart attack and is in the emergency room. His problem could be ameliorated with a pace maker, but because of his age and the cost of care, he is denied treatment and is allowed to die, or even assisted in dying (murdered)--by a physician who has decided he is not worth saving. This is done without the patient's or his family's knowledge or consent. The Judeo-Christian ethic has moved to a quality-of-life ethic and eventually moves to a "compassionate killing" of patients and the "duty-to-die." Once we've accepted the notion there is a "right-to-die," it doesn't take much rationalizing to accept the idea that there may also be a "duty-to-die" and that our medical profession has an obligation to help people along in the dying process--even against their will. The Manufacturer's Handbook is clear throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Clearly, life is a gift, and only God Himself has the right to choose when our lives on earth come to an end. Human beings are not animals but unique beings made "in the image of God" (Gen 1:26-28). God says, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13), and "CHOOSE LIFE" (Deuteronomy 30:19). Life is a gift from God and the moment of death is God's prerogative. "Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; " (Job 14:5). "To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted" (Eccl 3:1-2). Sickness or injury at the end of life can cause suffering that can be trying on the family as well. Yet, again, God says, "Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer ... Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (Rev 2:10). God can heal even the hopeless cases. "...heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give" (Matt 10:8). "For with God, nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37).

Another militia commander assassinated in Donetsk

Another militia commander assassinated in Donetsk The commander of Somali battalion of the Armed Forces of the People's Republic of Donetsk, Mikhail Tolstykh, better known for his nom de guerre Givi, was killed in a terrorist attack in Donetsk, representatives for the operational command of the breakaway republic stated. "Mikhail Tolstykh, a hero of the People's Republic of Donetsk, the commander of Somali battalion, was killed today at 06:12 as a result of a terrorist attack. His assassination comes as a continuation of the terrorist war that the Kiev junta launched against the Donbass," the Donetsk News Agency quoted a statement from the military command of the republic. Reportedly, Mikhail Tolstykh was killed in an explosion that occurred in his office. In early February, it was reported that Tolstykh was wounded in battles near the settlement of Avdiivka. The commander himself later confirmed the information, but specified that the wound was not serious and he could continue commanding battles. On October 16, 2016, a commander of the Donetsk militia, Arsen Pavlov, (nom de guerre Motorola) was killed in Donetsk. The authorities of the breakaway republic regarded the incident as a terrorist attack. After the death of Motorola, Mikhail Tolstykh, aka Givi, said that he did not intend to leave the Donbass. "I have my battalion, my military unit, where I serve, and I am not going anywhere, because this is my native land," Givi then said. Representatives of the Kiev authorities commented on the information about the death of Mikhail Tolstykh. The reaction from the Armed Forces and the Security Bureau of Ukraine was cautious. Yet, advisors and MPs were happy to learn the news. Advisor to the chief of the Security Bureau of Ukraine Yuri Tandit refused to officially confirm the information about the death of the militia commander and said that it should be verified. "We do not control the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk region," he said. The official did not confirm the involvement of Ukrainian special services in the accident and associated it with events that currently take place in Donetsk. Speaker for the headquarters if the anti-terrorist operation, Leonid Matyuhin, told 11 Ukraine channel that there was no official confirmation for the death of the militia commander in Donetsk. "There is no official confirmation to this, but it appears that he has unfortunately died," he official said, adding that the official confirmation would follow shortly. Advisor to the Minister for Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Zorian Shkiryak, supported Tandit's version, who said that Mikhail Tolstykh (Givi) was killed as a result of conflicts within the administration of the People's Republic of Donetsk. According to Shkiryak, Givi could also be killed in an operation conducted by Russian special services. The Kremlin strongly rejected any implication of Russian special services in his assassination. "We offer the leaders of the People's Republic of Donetsk and Luhansk, Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky, to surrender to the Ukrainian authorities. Judging from the current situation, they are likely to be next," Shkiryak said. Ukrainian MP Anton Gerashchenko urged others not to rejoice about the death of Mikhail Tolstykh, although he did not miss his chance to make an offensive remark about the late military man. "I understand the joy of many commentators on Facebook, but I would not be happy about it from the point of view of the efforts to ease pressure on Ukraine or against the backdrop of the combat readiness of the troops created with the support of Russia," he said. Some believe that the Ukrainian authorities resort to terrorism to cowardly destroy the militia leaders of the People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. "There will be negative consequences, of course, because Givi has been a media figure lately. He would inspire our fighters, our militia. Givi's death has struck a serious blow on all of us, on the republic, from the point of view of motivation of the troops," Novorossiya MP Yevgeny Tinyansky told Pravda.Ru. "Givi's office is located on the territory of the military unit, while the military unit is located on the territory of the city. Try to approach a military unit in peacetime without running into a patrol. We live in the time of war, when there are many patrols inside and outside military units. For the time being, it is difficult to say how the attack was organized," he added. Pravda.Ru Read article on the Russian version of Pravda.Ru

Israeli News Claims “Arabs Hold Up Picture Of Hitler On Temple Mount Today” – Here’s the REAL Story

By Micah ben David Naziri Earlier today JewsNews.co.il ran an article sensationally claiming that Palestinians had stormed the Temple Mount, holding up pictures of Hitler. Of course it might have been a good idea to consult someone who could read what the posters said. This shouldn’t have been difficult considering Arabic is one of the three official languages of the State of Israel. Nevertheless, the story broke, and Westerners have been left with the impression that Palestinians were holding a pro-Nazi, pro-genocide, pro-Kill-the-Jews impromptu rally. The real story, however, is that Palestinians were holding a rally against the brutal crack down by the Egyptian military, under the leadership of Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi. That’s the guy in the picture with Hitler. This might remind you of pictures you’ve seen at anti-war protests in the West comparing George Bush to Hitler. Perhaps the most offensive claim written on Arabic banners at the rally were those unfurled banners reading “Hitler killed Jews for his people” and “Sisi kill people for the Jews.” The meaning, however, is lost in translation. “for his people” does not mean “because his people required it”, it can very easily mean that he killed them for his ideas of Aryanism, and nationalism. The context of these posters was comparing Sisi to Hitler, not chiding him for not living up to an anti-Jewish ideal of Nazism. Put simply, the Israeli media took the phrase out of context. It says that Hitler killed Jews because of his nationalism and Aryanism. The difference is made by the usage of the conjunction “من اجل” here, rather than its use as a preposition. Yes, it is offensive that the sign says that Sisi kills for Jews. But the quote was in the context of COMPARING Sisi to Hitler as two fellow bad guys. If you divorce the translation from that context then you miss the whole point. That point is that Sisi was being denounced by being compared to Hitler. Other than this, demonstrators accused al-Sisi, fairly or unfairly, of being a “client to America” ​​and working for Israel, chanting that Mursi is still the president of Egypt.” Sorry if it isn’t quite as sensational, but that’s the real story: Palestinians compare Sisi to Hitler.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Internet Sales Tax Coming

INTERNET SALES TAX COMING By Kelleigh Nelson February 20, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "All the world should be taxed" —Caesar Augustus The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. —Mark Twain The power to tax is the power to destroy. —John Marshall - Chief Justice of the Supreme Court On Thursday, February 14, 2013, Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican from Tennessee, joined fellow lawmakers in reintroducing a bill that would allow all states to require online retailers to collect sales tax just like their "Main Street" rivals. The idea isn't a new one. However, a 1992 Supreme Court decision stated that a business must have a physical presence within the state in order for the state to collect sales tax when someone purchases from that business. Similar legislation was introduced in 2012 to "level the playing field" so that local businesses didn't have "unfair competition" because of the local taxes. The Marketplace Fairness Act from last year never left a Senate committee. We would hope the same thing would happen with this new bill. Before internet sales, we had catalogues that came in the mail. If the catalogue business did not have a store in your state, you paid no sales tax. Now, with internet, we order from these same businesses, via internet, rather than calling the catalogue company on the phone. It's the same premise. Governor Bill Haslam and Internet Taxes The Governor of Tennessee is Bill Haslam. When he was first elected, he announced his plan to contact all of the state governors and have them pressure the Congress to push for an internet tax on all purchases whether the business had a presence in the state or not. Haslam has already changed the taxes for Tennesseans by breaking an agreement our former governor made with Amazon. Amazon is coming to Tennessee, not as a storefront, but as a shipping hub. Our former Democrat Governor Bredesen, had an agreement with Amazon that Tennessee sales tax would not be charged on purchases from Amazon despite the presence of a shipping hub in the State. Bredesen wanted the 600 jobs in Tennessee, but did not want to punish the citizens of Tennessee for bringing those jobs to our State. Our Republican Governor has seen to it that this agreement is now void, and starting in 2014, Tennesseans will pay 9.25% sales tax on purchases from Amazon. In 2011, when I was asked to critique the local Tea Party here in Knoxville, and attended several meetings, I learned their main focus was against spending and taxes. The chairwoman kept saying their goal was to cut off the head of the spending snake. Unfortunately, they didn't allow me any real time to speak to the subject, and they never launched a fight against the internet tax. As I explained in Part 2 and Part 4 of the series on The Tea Parties, this group was infiltrated with RINO change agents from their inception. Haslam claims Tennessee is already losing between $$300 million and $$500 million a year on untaxed Internet sales. However, this is money the states never have had in their coffers, so how can he claim it is a loss? Gov. Bill Haslam testified before Congress in July 2012, on behalf of a bill that would have let states collect sales tax on Internet purchases. “This is an issue of fairness,” Haslam said in prepared remarks released by his office. “Comparable businesses that sell the same things are not being treated the same. Most people I talk to understand that and agree that isn’t fair.” In 2012, the House Judiciary Committee considered a bill that would clear up the 20-year-old Quill ruling, which said states can collect sales tax on catalog sales only if the vender is physically located within their borders. The rationale was that it would be too complicated for catalog retailers to calculate the sales tax in each jurisdiction where they sell goods. The ruling was later applied to Internet retailers. But Haslam argues that computer software makes the thinking obsolete. As a small business owner myself, I know the work this would add to my business and it would require an increase in my prices to cover the cost. So, the bottom line here is the argument which states, "Internet sales taxes should be applied so that local state businesses, who must charge the state sales tax, are not at an unfair advantage of internet purchases from businesses not having a presence in the state." WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS LOGIC? Rather than lowering the regulations and costs of doing business within the state, so local businesses can be more competitive with internet businesses, our politicians choose to increase taxes for us! They use the argument of "leveling the playing field," and the foolish people go along with it! Now we have our own Tennessee Senator, Lamar Alexander, who will be running for his third term as Senator in 2014, joining with his fellow neo-conservative Trotskyite, Governor Haslam, to push for an internet sales tax. Talk about the good-old-boy system!

Senators Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican, and Lamar Alexander, proposed a version of the Marketplace Fairness Act as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

Governor Ron Ramsey, House Speaker Beth Harwell, and Congress critters, Marsha Blackburn, Phil Roe, Diane Black, Stephen Fincher, and Chuck Fleischmann. [Link] The good-old-boy network is at work. Alexander gets the backing of Tennessee's liberal Republican governor, and in exchange he authors a congressional bill for an internet sales tax. Isn't it funny that Alexander's son actually introduced Sharia law expert, Samir Ali, to our governor, and Governor Haslam appointed her to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development? [Link] As for Alexander, he believes the federal government should handle Medicaid, not the states. He doesn't have a problem with raising taxes, big waterworks spending and higher user fees. The Senator is very pro-green, supporting the Environmental Protection Agency regulations and urging more federal ownership of state lands. The Senator votes with President Obama 63 per cent of the time. Lamar has been instrumental in destroying academic education and is a long time supporter of privatization. [Link] Alexander is also a proponent of common core and believes Arne Duncan, Obama's Secretary of Education, is doing an excellent job. On June 25, 2009, Lamar Alexander was one of 8 Republicans to cross the aisle and vote for confirmation of Harold Hongju Koh as Legal Adviser to the State Department. Five days later, Alexander again broke ranks with conservative Senate Republicans when he announced his support for the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. The Senator is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. The future of tax free internet shopping is in jeopardy. [Link] The 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act was a United States law authored by Representative Christopher Cox (R-California) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), and signed into law on October 21, 1998 by President Bill Clinton in an effort to promote and preserve the commercial, educational, and informational potential of the Internet. This law bars federal, state and local governments from taxing Internet access and from imposing discriminatory internet-only taxes such as bit taxes, bandwidth taxes, and email taxes. The law also bars multiple taxes on electronic commerce. The most recent extension was titled the Internet Tax Freedom Act Amendment Act of 2007, signed into law on November 1, 2007, by George W. Bush and extended the moratorium until November 1, 2014. • A Wal-Mart Stores, Best Buy, Home Depot, and other companies support taxing the internet. • B 1992 Supreme Court ruling says that in general, retailers currently can't be forced to collect sales tax on out-of-states shipments unless they have offices in those states. And with more than 7,500 taxing jurisdictions, each with its own rules and ability to conduct audits, compliance with each is not a trivial task. • C Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Yahoo.com, Buy.com, Overstock.com, Jr.com, Newegg.com and many others would be affected by this bill. • D Contact your U.S. Senator and tell them no more taxes! And finally from the Daily Caller: "The National Internet Tax Mandate also flies in the face of the original purpose of the Commerce Clause and sets a dangerous precedent. Contrary to modern political thought, the Commerce Clause was not intended to grant Congress unfettered regulatory power. Instead, it was meant to enable Congress to guarantee free trade among the states by ensuring states could not impose onerous regulations or taxes on out-of-state businesses. By giving states the power to impose their sales taxes on out-of-state businesses, the National Internet Tax Mandate flips the Commerce Clause on its head.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 2

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 2 By Kelleigh Nelson March 5, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." — Audubon magazine, interview with Ted Turner, 1996 "This is a terrible thing to say. In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it." —Jacques Cousteau in an interview with the UNESCO Courier for November 1991 In 1982, I lived in Ellettsville, Indiana, a suburb of Bloomington. At that time I was working as a receptionist for a dermatologist. Across the street from the doctor's office was the hospital where "Baby Doe" was born with Down's syndrome. The baby also had an obstruction in the esophagus that prevented normal eating. The tracheo-esophageal fistula was easily treated, but both the parents and the physician agreed to allow the baby to die of starvation. The courts granted the parents and physician the "blessing" of doing this to the infant. Public outrage ensued. Health and Human Services under President Reagan drew up guidelines against federally funded health care facilities allowing handicapped infants to die. Other organizations fought this ruling and the courts struck it down as the government being too invasive into the medical profession. Oh, but they should see the invasiveness today with Obama Care! In the United Kingdom's National Health Service, when the doctor decides the patient's condition is beyond treatable, the patient is put on the "Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient." (LPC) Many have been sounding the alarm for years that this has led to massive euthanasia of elderly patients. Nearly 30% of the people who die in UK hospitals every year are on LPC. [Link] An article in Political Outcast states the following: Now, it’s being reported by the Daily Mail that newborn babies are also being put on “end-of-life” plans on the LCP: “One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone. Writing in a leading medical journal, the physician revealed the process can take an average of ten days during which a baby becomes ‘smaller and shrunken.’ The LCP – on which 130,000 elderly and terminally ill adult patients die each year – is now the subject of an independent inquiry ordered by ministers. The investigation, which will include child patients, will look at whether cash payments to hospitals to hit death pathway targets have influenced doctors’ decisions. Medical critics of the LCP insist it is impossible to say when a patient will die, and as a result the LCP death becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They say it is a form of euthanasia, used to clear hospital beds and save the NHS money.” [Link] This is what we will be seeing with Obama Care if it is not totally destroyed. It doesn't need tinkering or "fixing." It needs to be euthanized totally. A Case in Point What I described above is already happening in our hospitals because of creeping Obama Care. Euthanasia is pushed on the families of the dying by physicians and care givers. Living wills are forced on everyone and you are constantly asked by physicians and hospital personnel if you have a living will. Do you realize how huge it would have to be to cover every circumstance that could happen? The goal is population reduction. The elite want us dead. One must remember, we had the finest healthcare in the world until the federal legislature started passing laws that forced the cost of healthcare to rise exponentially. Why? Many reasons, including additional federally required paperwork for every patient, but mostly because those who could afford to pay for insurance and healthcare were now also paying for those who did not pay for it, including illegal immigrants. Many of the hospitals on the southern border have closed because of bankruptcy. The Hegelian Dialectic has been in play here to cause the desired synthesis resulting in Obama Care, and the complete government control of our entire medical industry. Late last year my good friend's mother passed away. She was a lovely, dear sweet Christian lady, and I loved talking to her. She had been in pain for several years and yearned to go home to Jesus. Her daughter told me what happened after her mother suffered several strokes at the same time. Here is what transpired. Late one night, Jean suffered up to twelve massive strokes. The 911 ambulance took her to Geisinger Hospital (Geisinger Health System in rural Pennsylvania). The emergency room doctors admitted her to the hospital with IV fluids. That afternoon, the staff wanted to talk to Jean's family about moving her to Hospice. Jean was initially being hydrated, but without the family's knowledge, the IV was removed that night. When the older daughter found out, she demanded the hydration be continued. The IV was put back in Jean. The family also preferred Jean remain in the hospital, but they were told that was not going to happen. Geisinger does not want the death statistics on their records. Both daughters were bombarded by the nurses and hospital staff to remove the fluid IVs and get her to a nursing home. They told them that was why there was a respiratory "death rattle," because of continually being hydrated. This was a total lie inasmuch as people not on hydration have the same respiratory sounds prior to death. Jean's husband is a pastor and has attended many church members during their last hours, so he knew they were not telling the truth. Remember, dehydration is a painful way to die. Jean's older daughter told the nurses her mother was responding, but the nurses said she couldn't be. The girls both knew she was responsive. When her younger daughter said to Jean, "Mom, if you want some water, open your mouth." Jean smiled and opened her mouth. Also, Jean and her husband had a private joke from their early married days and when he talked to her about it, a big smile would spread across her face. Despite Jean's inability to speak, she was communicating with her family. But when the doctor came in and was told Jean was communicating with them, the doctor sarcastically said, "Show me what she can do!" Her daughter told him that her mother gets excited when we talk about heaven and the doctor answered, "Not that! Tell her to open her mouth." Jean responded to the doctor and opened her mouth. Then he said, "Tell her to wiggle her toe." Jean wiggled her toe. The doctor realized Jean could hear him and ushered the family into another room. Three of the doctors tried to push the family to move her to a nursing home or Hospice. However, under Medicare, the nursing homes apparently aren't covered for "comfort care," which is to simply keep you comfortable until you die. They would have had to pay for comfort care, because Jean didn't need any skilled nursing. Those who believe they have nursing home care under Medicare, may be surprised to learn that they are not covered unless they need "skilled nursing care," not just "comfort care" in your last days. The harassment to remove hydration from Jean continued. The staff kept telling the family they were prolonging her life unnecessarily. The doctor was allowing 500 ml. every other day all dumped at once into her now subcutaneous button (IV was removed and this port installed). This amount is nothing in hydration. The doctor had ordered only two cups of water every other day. Obviously, the staff was trying to keep liquid to a bare minimum. Jean's daughters knew this because Jean's lips were dry and cracked and she wanted water. The family told the doctor to do it every day and to double the quantity because they understood the hospital was withholding hydration to make her die faster. Actually it's "Kill Grandma, get a bonus." This is explained as a new cost-saving measure that drastically reduces return hospital visits by the elderly, because dead people don't return to the hospital, of course, and the faster they die, the less cost. The hospital was forcing them to take Jean to either a nursing home which couldn't give Jean IV care, or to Hospice. Thankfully Hospice had a room open up and it was only a mile from the hospital. Hospice took excellent care of Jean and she remained hydrated. The Hospice workers brought in fresh flowers, sat with Jean and stayed three and four hours over their shifts to be with her until she passed. They dressed her in a pretty lacy feminine nightgown and had lovely sheets on her bed. She was given no special pain cocktails and died peacefully with her family at her side. The hydration did not prolong her life, but it did make her last few days at least comfortable. What is the Geisinger Model Obama Praises? Please understand that the Geisinger Hospital Jean was in is considered a model for Obama Care by the President. [Link] Obama actually desires all American hospitals to follow the Geisinger model. [Link] So, let's take a look at what it's all about. From Time Magazine's, The Long Goodbye by Joe Klein, "Geisinger hospital is the mother ship of an extensive network of medical practitioners tending to 2.6 million patients in 44 mostly rural Pennsylvania counties. It was founded in 1915 by a widow named Abigail Geisinger and first directed by Harold Foss, a surgeon who had been an assistant to the famed Mayo brothers. Like the Mayo Clinic, it employed a team approach, with doctors paid as employees rather than independent operators cooperating on patient care. "It's like hiring a general contractor to supervise the renovation of your house," says Henry J. Aaron, a health expert at the Brookings Institute." (Another nasty leftist think tank funded by Rockefeller and Ford Foundations). The accountable-care-organization model, which is the emerging term of art for places like Mayo and Geisinger, became a pioneer in computerization of medical records and analyzing those records. Geisinger's Proven Health Navigator enrolls patients who are overseen electronically by case managers. The elderly are even contacted in their homes by these case manager nurses to see if they're taking their medication, eating the right things, keeping their doctor appointments, and even weighing themselves (on Bluetooth scales that send the results to the Geisinger computers). This way Geisinger can decide when "end-of-life" care should commence, or lack of life-giving care should end. Doesn't this make you feel all warm and fuzzy that a government approved health care facility will be watching over you this closely, and when you step on a scale, the numbers will go to the watchdog! Doctors are paid salaries and "outcome-based performance" bonuses rather than by the services they perform. In fact, Joe Klein's article states that organizations who embrace these "outcome-based" death panel systems actually receive cash bonuses from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) savings plan, when they save more money by pulling the plug on granny! Much of the savings projected for Obama Care would come from a broader application of this Mayo/Geisinger model. The bonuses these doctors receive depends upon how well they adhere to common procedures. The Geisinger program, marketed as ProvenCare, eliminates the physician "guesswork," or "variability," by requiring every employee to follow an agreed-upon set of best practices. They achieve these goals through standardization. Science based protocols are "hard-wired" into the process. In other words, for most procedures, one size fits all. This is "cookbook medicine." The patients rate the doctor's performance, and since doctors are not always the most sociable human beings, Geisinger trains them in a bedside-manner orientation program called, "Patients 101." This schools them in basic procedures with members of the patient's family. Of course this is important in gaining the family's trust. Klein states in his article, "This sort of training is especially important in a system in which doctors sometimes must try to deny care requested by patients or their families that is deemed unnecessary." The time spent to train physicians in developing a deeper level of patient trust and satisfaction comes in handy when they talk the family into denying food and hydration in order to save those dollars for the better of American health care costs. In this manner, physicians are even able to convince the family that any resuscitation efforts should be stopped and DNR's (Do Not Resuscitate) should be placed in the patient's chart. These trained employee physicians tell the patient's family that dehydration and starvation is not painful. In fact, in Klein's article, a fee-for-service physician like we've always been used to in America would hydrate Klein's father who was in kidney failure. The Geisinger physicians' attitude is that the patient would be back to the hospital in just a month or six weeks, so let him die. The physician said, "Renal failure is a good way to go. You just go to sleep." I often wonder how many of these physicians have actually watched these patients they condemn to no care. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: Most of today's doctors, including some of mine, don't like the Mayo-Geisinger way of doing business. They say, "We don't want to be robots run by your computers." Well they shouldn't be, but Obama Care may force all of them into this new health care model, resulting of course in euthanasia and rationing of care. This is the Geisinger model of health care, being promoted by the liberal rags such as Time Magazine and Newsweek who are fully promoting Obama Care, not just for cost savings, but for quicker population reduction of the elderly baby boomers. Time Magazine's article, "How to Die," promotes death panels, killing the elderly to save money (and earning those CMS bonuses!), and even yanking feeding tubes out of your own dying parents! Newsweek's article, "The Case for Killing Granny," discusses how curbing excessive end-of-life care is good for America! In Part 3, we'll discuss Hospice and palliative care.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Constitutional Convention Call Redux, Part 1

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION CALL REDUX PART 1 By Kelleigh Nelson March 13, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitution Convention. The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congressmen might try to limit the Convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the Convention would obey it." —Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Warren E. Burger "Having witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first Convention, I would tremble for the result of the second." —James Madison, Father of the Constitution and fourth President of the United States "All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree." —James Madison, speech at the Constitutional Convention, July 11, 1787 We could lose our God given rights, secured by the 1787 Constitution if a new call for a Con-Con is successful. The Constitution is about the specific powers we delegated to the federal government. Our rights pre-date and pre-exist the Constitution. The sole purpose of civil government is to secure those rights. Knowing what is waiting in the wings, if we lose this Constitution, all will finally be lost, and the war for our freedoms would be over. If you never read another one of my articles, I beg you to read and disseminate this one. Then contact your state legislators and find out where your state stands regarding a call for a Constitutional Convention. Thirty Years Ago In the early 1980's, we did not have home computers, lap tops, or IPADs; neither did we have unlimited long-distance telephone rates. We only had our Fax machines and our telephones. Yet, the nation's patriotic groups, and the Kitchen Militia gals, worked tirelessly to stave off a call for another Constitutional Convention. We knew the dangers, we knew the precedents, and we knew what was waiting in the wings to replace the Constitution given to us by honorable men. We knew that if we lost our Constitution and Bill of Rights, that the great experiment in freedom and liberty would be lost forever. We worked to inform people of what a new Constitutional Convention would bode for America. Thirty-two of the necessary 34 states needed to call a new Con-Con had petitioned the Congress for the purpose of proposing a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA). (An amendment to the Constitution is first proposed by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a Constitutional Convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by Constitutional Convention . This is the way we've ratified amendments since the Bill of Rights. It is then sent to the states for their votes. If 38 of the states ratify the amendment, it will be added to the Constitution. The danger in the ratifying process is that Congress decides whether it will be ratified by the legislators of 38 states, or by special Ratifying Conventions. As well, the legislators who called for the Convention can be totally circumvented - having no voice in the outcome, thus opening a Pandora's Box and powerless to close it.) Thirteen states finally recalled their calls; Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, Arizona, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and in 2010, Tennessee. [Link] Now some are again calling for a Con-Con. Our Constitution is still a barrier to the globalists, and they hate this document. The elite have always wanted to destroy it because, as Patrick Henry said, "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” The One Worlders have a new constitution waiting in the wings which will grant us privileges by the state. The distinctive characteristic of our Constitution is that it created a federal government of only limited, defined, and enumerated powers! We must focus on the limited powers we delegated instead of our "rights." Rights pre-date and pre-exist the Constitution. Only with this conception of rights can we avoid having black-robed federal judges determine the scope and extent of our rights. We have elected officials in local, state, and federal governments who have no problem trampling our Constitution. We have heard the cries from the right and left for a BBA via an Article V Constitutional Convention. The Constitution LIMITS what the federal government is allowed to spend with taxpayer dollars. It is so limited that the funding of outrageous items today would fill an encyclopedia. Our Constitution does not authorize foreign aid, or museums about rock stars, or studying of the blue lizard, or Chinese prostitutes, or unconstitutional wars, etc., etc., ad nauseam. We have a majority of Republicans in congress today...so why in heaven's name aren't they balancing the budget now without an amendment? Of course, unknown to most of the electorate, the BBA would actually legalize the unconstitutional spending the Congress has been doing for decades. See Publius Huldah's most important article "Why the Balanced Budget Amendment is a Hoax and a Deadly Trap." Forty-five Republican Senators and the majority of Republican Representatives absolutely love the BBA and desire its passage, including Rand Paul. They talk openly about it to the dumbed down electorate, never telling us that it would LEGALIZE UNCONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING. This would give Congress a free hand to spend whatever they want to on any frivolous item that floats past their desks. The Constitution limits CONGRESS alone to the spending of money! The BBA will usher in a totalitarian dictatorship. Pursuant to the unconstitutional Budget Act of 1921, the President has been preparing the budget. Since the Budget Act is unconstitutional, the President’s preparation of the budget has been likewise unconstitutional. Section 3 of the BBA would legalize what is now unconstitutional and unlawful, but Section 3 of the BBA does more than merely legalize the unlawful. It actually transfers the Constitutional power to make the appropriations and to determine taxes to the President . Congress will simply become a rubber stamp. Senate bill from 112th Congress. House bill from 113th Congress. Former Senator Jim DeMint, and Senator Mike Lee, (neo-cons) are determined to jam this down our throats along with Congressional representatives like Michelle Bachmann. Don't tell me they don't understand what they're doing, because all of them love the out-of-control spending and the BBA would legalize it. In the July 7, 2011, WSJ, Jim DeMint joined with that bastion of conservative politics, Maine's Senator Olympia Snowe, to push the BBA, stating it is The Only Reform That Will Restrain Spending. Liars and thieves! The 1787 Convention In 1787, delegates gathered in a Conference of States (not a Constitutional Convention) to discuss problems with interstate commerce. They were given strict instructions by the Congress that they were to meet only for "the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation." Eleven of the twelve states present, specifically instructed their delegates to discuss nothing more than the commerce issue. Once convened, the delegates of the twelve states, formed a "committee of the whole" (chaired by the elected George Washington, President of the Conference), took a vote, and declared the Articles of Confederation null and void! For five months they debated behind closed doors and emerged with an entirely new form of government. Our 1787 Constitution was the result. The Conference of the States had become a runaway Constitutional Convention! It happened then, and we are certain it will happen again if we don't stop the process. The precedent was set. An Article V Constitutional Convention today would undoubtedly mutate the same way the 1787 "Conference of States" mutated into a Constitutional Convention. A Constitutional Convention makes its own rules, cannot be limited, and could indeed throw out the entire structure, including the narrowly defined, limited and enumerated powers granted the federal government, just like the framers threw out the Articles of Confederation in 1787! Remember, the Bill of Rights tells the federal government what it CANNOT do! About 50 of the 55 delegates at the Constitutional Convention were practicing Christians, so the Constitution they wrote was rooted squarely in the Word of God and the Ten Commandments. It maximized individual liberty while at the same time limiting government power. There are absolutely no Constitutional guarantees that the legal precedent of the first Convention will not be repeated by the second one, the result being a new Constitution. However, you can rest assured that this one will not be from Godly Christian men. Back in the early 80s, many of the states that called for a one-item Convention like the BBA, wrote limiting language into their calls, (thinking they could indeed control the agenda, and stating they would secede from the Convention if it overstepped the bounds). Nevertheless, the precedent of the first Convention is the basis for American jurisprudence. A Con-Con is not just the amendment that is at issue. The entire document is taken down from its pedestal and is put on the table and people go to work on it, tearing it apart. There are NO RULES! As well, the Unbridled Power of the delegates to a Con-Con has been acknowledged several times by various State Supreme Courts, and a letter from former U.S. Chief Justice Warren Burger confirms the danger. In his letter Justice Burger said: " . . . there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. . . After a convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don't like its agenda." James Madison is the "Father" of our Constitution. At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read Isaiah 33:22; “For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us.” (Judicial, Legislative, Executive) There were delegates from twelve of the thirteen states in attendance at the original 1787 Convention. Rhode Island did not send delegates. The most notable statesmen present were Washington, Franklin, Madison, and Hamilton, all of whom signed the final Constitution. Ultimately, 39 of the original 55 delegates ended up signing, but it is likely that none were completely satisfied. Their views were summed up by Benjamin Franklin, who said, "There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them. ... I doubt too whether any other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution. ... It therefore astonishes me, Sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does; and I think it will astonish our enemies..." The names of several prominent Founders are notable for their not having participated in the Constitutional Convention. Thomas Jefferson was abroad, serving as the minister to France (nonetheless, Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams, would describe the delegates approvingly as a gathering of “demi-gods”). Jefferson later stated that had he been present at the Convention, he would have urged term limits for politicians. John Adams was in Britain, serving as minister to that country, but he wrote home to encourage the delegates. Patrick Henry refused to participate because he "smelt a rat in Philadelphia, tending toward the monarchy." Also absent were John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Many of the states’ older and more experienced leaders may have simply been too busy with the local affairs of their states to attend the Convention, which had originally been planned to strengthen the existing Articles of Confederation, not to write a Constitution for a completely new national government . Now, think about the delegates and leaders of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. They were men of letters, with integrity, honor, and love of liberty and freedom. The Founders of America were patriots, visionaries, revolutionaries, world shakers, and nation builders. They joined together to protect America's citizens from an over reaching, all powerful, centralized federal government. Although imperfect men, they were statesmen who understood government needed to be chained to protect the people. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!

Kelleigh Nelson -- Constitutional Convention Call Redux, Part 2

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION CALL REDUX PART 2 By Kelleigh Nelson March 19, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "In questions of power let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." -Thomas Jefferson "If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges, and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions." -Thomas Jefferson "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." -Thomas Jefferson There are a number of groups pushing a Con-Con today, the Compact for America, the Goldwater Institute, (who supports the group, Restoring Freedom. Org. Inc. who created the National Debt Relief Amendment or BBA), the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the National Council of State Legislators (NCSL) and many others. [Link] Let's look at a few of these groups. Compact for America Just what is this "Compact for America?" From their own website: "The CFA is a non-profit exempt corporation promoting a bi-partisan "Initiative" to seek the passage of legislation by the states and the U.S. Congress to ratify a balanced budget amendment into the Constitution of the United States in a way that has never been done before. The Initiative includes the use of an interstate compact agreement and the counterpart federal legislation to coordinate the use of Article V of the Constitution of the United States by state legislatures to originate and ratify a specific constitutional amendment that would require Congress to operate under a balanced budget. The use of the Initiative’s interstate compact vehicle is expected to reduce the time necessary to originate and ratify the specific balanced budget amendment from 10 years to less than 12 months!" [Link] CFA Directors and Advisors Take a look at the "about" section of the CFA website again. On the Board of Directors is none other than the liberal Goldwater Institute's Nick Dranias, a lawyer, who has been promoting a Con-Con via the Institute for years. [Link] CFA's Chairman of the Board is banker, Harold R. DeMoss III. Oilman Kyle McAlister, is the secretary and treasurer as well as Vice President. The Advisory Council includes a Senior Federal Judge, professors, businessmen, and political consultants. Two names were of great interest. John McLaughlin has worked for neo-con Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eric Cantor, former Senator Fred Thompson (CFR), and Steve Forbes. McLaughlin and Associates' client list reads like a who's who of the neo-con Trotskyites, including the infamous neo-conservative Heritage Foundation which has both Communist, United Nations, and Rockefeller connections. [Link] However, the name on the CFA Advisory Board that really caught my eye was Lawrence Lessig, professor of Law at Harvard University. According to Citizen Wells News Blog, Lawrence Lessig was an associate of Obama’s at the University of Chicago. Lessig considers Obama a friend, and has supported the President on his website and in speaking engagements. Lessig is also mentioned on Obama’s site as part of his technology initiative. In a 2008 article at Sic Semper Tyrannis about Lawrence Lessig, it states, "Killing God and destroying the right to private property are usually associated with communism. They also seem important to the prominent legal theorist serving as Barack Obama’s technology adviser. It should not be surprising that Obama doesn’t want the world knowing to what extent Lessig is involved in advising the Democratic front-runner." The former Harvard Law School professor is the leading light of what is known as the “free culture movement,” which insists that the age of the Internet should mean the abolition of intellectual property rights. He also has radical ideas about government information. British-American Silicon Valley entrepreneur, and “Cult of the Amateur” author, Andrew Keen, has called Lessig an “intellectual property communist.” What is even more disturbing is a video Lessig produced and presented at a conference, which mocks Jesus and portrays the Saviour as homosexual. Lessig has been busy promoting a Con-Con for a long time. Remember his name, as you'll see it pop up again and again. Obama may even nominate him for the Supreme Court. In September, 2011, I wrote a two-part article entitled, "The Constitutional Convention Con," regarding the co-sponsoring of a Con-Con Conference in late September at Harvard by the Tea Party Patriots (TPP), whose leaders at that time were Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin. Lawrence Lessig was the Harvard co-sponsor and headed the pro-Con-Con members. Another article from October of 2011, was entitled, "Occupy Wall Street and the Constitutional Convention." The OWS was not only demanding the United Nations one-percent tax, but they were/are also demanding a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of changing the entire social structure of the US. Leftist commentator, Cenk Uygur announced the formation of Wolf-PAC to campaign for a Constitutional Convention. His call to action was featured on a website, Amped Status, run by David DeGraw who is one of the original founders of the OWS movement. Here is a video of Cenk's dangerous Constitutional Convention announcement. He was present at the Constitutional Convention Conference at Harvard along with Lawrence Lessig. "Tea Party Patriots, Harvard, and the Constitutional Convention," was published on March 7, 2012. The list of attendees at the Harvard Conference reads like a who's who of the left with a few moderates from the right thrown in for "balance." Leftists, Cenk Uygur, CFA's Nick Dranias, Lawrence Lessig, Bill Walker, as well as numerous neo-con Trotskyites, all vociferous proponents of a Con-Con, were invited. Obviously absent were the anti-Con-Con folks, the John Birch Society, Eagle Forum, American Policy Center's Tom DeWeese, Daughters of the American Revolution, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and virtually every Second Amendment organization (other than NRA) and countless others who could have balanced the attendees. Compact for America Goals In January of 2013, the Compact for America (CFA) Initiative started lobbying all the state legislators to propose legislation that would call for a Constitutional Convention under the guise of a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA). Unlike the 1980s call for a Con-Con, this is even more insidious. The Compact for America (CFA) is calling for a Constitutional Convention, as provided for in Article V of the Constitution, to meet in Dallas, Texas on July 4, 2013. The Right of the People in convention to alter their government could be used to make this a runaway convention. Here is a short overview of the CFA from the New American Magazine, January 21, 2013 issue. I would urge you to read the entire article and especially take note of the CFA timeline included in the article. The CFA Initiative is composed of three parts: First, there is a multi-state compact petitioning Congress to convene a con-con with state governors of member states serving as delegates and notifying Congress that members of the compact have pre-ratified the BBA called for and defined by the CFA; second, there is a balanced budget amendment as defined by the CFA that would be added to the Constitution; and third, there is a congressional resolution that would call a constitutional convention when and if 38 states join the CFA com-pact, and then would automate the steps required to add the BBA to the Constitution upon receipt of a certified copy of the BBA evidencing that the convention has approved the BBA for ratification. The CFA claims the 1787 Constitutional Convention did not exceed its mandate, and was not a runaway Convention, but as we discussed in Part 1 of this article, it certainly did exceed the authority they were granted by the states. They were to meet only to revise the Articles of Confederation, instead they threw the entire document out. They also claim the Dallas Con-Con would follow the claims of proposing only a BBA and nothing else. The Dallas Convention would only propose amendments that would then be submitted for ratification by the states, either by state legislatures or state conventions. This so-called "safeguard" has not been effective in stopping all bad amendments however. The 16th Amendment establishing an income tax, the 17th Amendment of direct election of Senators, and the 18th Amendment of prohibition of alcohol was ratified by 3/4ths of the states. The right of the people once they're in Convention to revise their government could easily lead to another runaway Convention. Nothing can truly be limited. Attorney, Publius Huldah makes it clear: The two basic methods for amending the Constitution are set forth at Article V: (1) Congress proposes Amendments and the States decide whether to ratify or reject. (2) Or Congress calls a convention if 2/3 (34 states) of the States ask for it. Whether (1) or (2), the Amendment are valid when: (a) ratified by the legislatures of 3/4 (38 states) of the States, or (b) ratified by separate conventions in 3/4 of the States. Congress proposes whether it will be (a) or (b). Remember, there is no safeguard from a runaway convention, regardless of what you've been told. Article V of the Constitution does not provide any language to limit an "Amendment Convention" or its power. There are no rules, or restrictions or instructions in Article V. There are 4 paths for an amendment: 1. proposal by convention of states, and ratification by state conventions (it's never been used) 2. proposal by convention of states, and ratification by state legislatures (it's never been used) 3. proposal by Congress, ratification by state conventions of the citizens (used only once for 21st amendment) (This is not a Con-Con)( In 1933 the 21st Amendment - lifting the prohibition on alcohol - was ratified in special ratifying convention, thus circumventing - bypassing altogether - the legislatures of the states.) 4. proposal by Congress, ratification by state legislatures (used all other times for all other amendments) Before the CFA's BBA Amendment Con-Con could begin, at least 38 state legislatures would need to join in the CFA's "compact" calling for the convening in Dallas, in July of 2013. As CFA Board Member and Goldwater Institute Director of Policy Development and Constitutional Government, Nick Dranias explains, the CFA consolidates the Article V process in two pieces of legislation, a state compact and congressional resolution. Here's an admission from CFA's Nick Dranias, constitutional "expert" with the Goldwater Institute, informing the Arizona house committee on March 21st, at about 1:38-1:40 pm (on the archived video on Arizona SCR 1005, Constitution; Amendments Convention; Federal Debt) that "two retired business men" brought them this "genius plan." Thank Heaven the legislators on that committee were informed and intelligent enough to vote it down. In discussing the opponents' fears of a runaway Article V Convention, the truth just slipped out, again. Dranius stated, " the fact that it may be abused. . . isn't an argument against using it !" Excuse me, Mr. Dranias, but it is a perfect argument against using it! Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: The historically uneducated members of state legislatures, as well as the uneducated electorate hear the CFA proponents telling them the Dallas Convention will put a stop to the out-of-control federal spending. The Constitution already has specifically limited areas of spending. The CFA's Balanced Budget Amendment does nothing to stop the unconstitutional spending by Congress! As we discussed in Part 1, it actually legalizes Congress's spending on anything, no matter how unconstitutional! As long as the amount does not exceed the limit set in Section 2 of the BBA, they can spend on anything they desire. Section 3 of the BBA actually authorizes an increase in the federal debt limit to 105 percent of the actual debt level on the effective date of the BBA. As explained in Publius Huldah's article, "Why the Balanced Budget Amendment is a Hoax and Deadly Trap," Section 4 of the BBA proposed by the CFA actually gives Congress and the president new powers not already granted them by the Constitution! [Link] Knowing who has been behind the push for a Con-Con since the 1960's, the Dallas Convention would undoubtedly end up in another runaway Convention. If the Compact for America is lobbying your state legislators, please contact them and tell them you do not want a state call for a Constitutional Convention! Next, we'll look at ALEC's drive for a Constitutional Convention, along with Henry Hazlitt, Rexford Tugwell, and the New States Constitution which is waiting in the wings to replace the 1787 Constitution.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Constitutional Convention Call Redux, Part 3

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION CALL REDUX PART 3 By Kelleigh Nelson March 22, 2013 NewsWithViews.com James Madison himself, father of the Constitution, warned against convening a second constitutional convention. When he learned that New York and Virginia were actively calling for an Article V convention in 1788, just months after ratification of the Constitution, he was horrified. He counseled: "If a General Convention were to take place for the avowed and sole purpose of revising the Constitution, it would naturally consider itself as having a greater latitude than the Congress.... It would consequently give greater agitation to the public mind; an election into it would be courted by the most violent partisans on both sides … [and] would no doubt contain individuals of insidious views, who, under the mask of seeking alterations popular in some parts … might have the dangerous opportunity of sapping the very foundations of the fabric...." There are numerous organizations promoting a Constitutional Convention under the guise of a Balanced Budget Amendment. Tom DeWeese wrote about the 10 Amendments for Freedom, Inc, chaired by William Fruth, President of POLICOM Corporation. He covered this in his articles, "Powerful Forces Calling for a Constitutional Convention," and "Constitutional Convention Cannot be Controlled." Back in 1995, model resolutions for the Conference of States (COS) came from the National Council of State Legislators (NCSL), the organization that indoctrinates liberal (mostly Democratic) legislators, just as American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) does the conservatives (Republicans). The NCSL is presently backing the internet sales tax, and the rotten E-Verify. ALEC passed a resolution supporting the COS resolution, and Republicans joined the fray. Thankfully, the 1995 attempt was defeated, again because patriots were alert. (As an aside, the Governor of New Mexico was then Gary Johnson, Libertarian Candidate for President in the 2012 race, and he backed the COS resolution.) The NCSL (National Conference of State Legislators), NCM (National Conference of Mayors), NGA (National Governors Association) just to name a few - are adjuncts of the Council of State Governments (CSG). The original COS was billed as a plan by Governors Michael Leavitt of Utah and Ben Nelson of Nebraska, but it became clear from a 1987 Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) and (CSG) paper that in reality the Governors were merely delivery boys for the scheme led by the Rockefeller founded Council of State Governments. The United States ACIR was terminated in September, 1996, but nearly every state has its own ACIR. Paul Weyrich's ALEC, (American Legislative Exchange Council) backed the COS. ALEC boasts nearly 3,000 conservative legislative and corporate members, and has been strongly pushing a Con-Con for decades. The CSG is a private, international organization funded originally with Rockefeller money through the Spelman Fund (John D. Rockefeller's wife, Laura Spelman) (see CSG's Book of the States Volume I - 1935) and currently receives millions of dollars from states' dues - our tax dollars. As early as 1935, the CSG had already called for gun control and the creation of 10 REGIONS for America. Today, America has 10 Federal Regions from which the federal government controls our money and therefore our states, counties, townships and municipalities. Regionalism is Communism! The money from the block grants coming into the states is fed into the Federal Regional Planning Commissions, HUD, HEW, EPA, Departments of Labor, Commerce, DOE, etc., which in turn doles it out to our local governments in return for their "obedience" in passing whatever laws and ordinances the federal planners dictate (think Agenda 21, Smart Growth). If they do not comply, money is withheld until they do. Here we are, eighteen years later, and they're still at it. In this present assault on our Constitution the roles are reversed: ALEC wrote the model resolution; and the NCSL is solidly behind the scheme, as indicated by the letter that was sent to every Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker in this country by Florida Senator Jeff Atwater, from the NCSL. So, let's take a closer look at ALEC. American Legislative Exchange Council The subject of ALEC deserves a three-part article alone, but for the sake of brevity, we'll just give an overview. ALEC was founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich, Grand Poobah of the secretive Council for National Policy, founder of Free Congress Foundation, and the Heritage Foundation. ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It's not just a lobby or front group, ALEC is one of the most powerful unelected councils in the country. [Link] Corporations hand to state legislators their "wish lists" of legislation to benefit their bottom lines. The membership of ALEC is 98% corporate and the corporate membership is the one that funds almost all of ALEC's operations. They have bought their way into the process by which corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve "model" bills. ALEC's legislative leaders are responsible for getting the bills introduced and passed. They introduce and carry the bills in their statehouses as their own brilliant ideas. As an example, the immigration bill, SB1070, was written by ALEC and carried by Russell Pearce, word for word, to Arizona. Private prison corporations had a huge part in ALEC's crafting of SB1070. Richard Mellon Scaife has allegedly funded ALEC to the tune of more than 7 million dollars. One must remember that Scaife funds both sides of the aisle and is connected to Rockefeller (Chase Mellon Bank). Scaife also had a full page ad in the WSJ stating why it was so important for taxpayers to fund Planned Parenthood and what they do for American women. The danger in the ALEC organization is that its leadership apparently wants to rewrite our Constitution , and they claim a membership of 2,500 plus of our 7,500 legislators. Members of ALEC even include the Church of Scientology, which has spoken at ALEC meetings. Sometime in the mid-1990s, the Church of Scientology became one of ALEC's underwriters, for the apparent purpose of interacting with state lawmakers on mental health-care issues. Here's an excerpt from a 1998 fundraising letter written by Bruce Wiseman, the president of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, (CCHR) a highly controversial anti-psychiatry front-group of the Church of Scientology. Wiseman writes. "ALEC is a national organization made up of legislators from every state as well as some federal legislators who meet and draft model legislation for every state. The return for that has been enormous! CCHR has worked its way up the conditions at ALEC and recently got an article published by ALEC in opposition to mandated mental-health parity, which went to key state legislators who deal with health issues in their respective states. In addition, the ALEC membership has opened the door to meeting numerous legislators and other opinion leaders from around the country." Back in 1992, when Ross Perot came on the scene, he was gung-ho for a Con-Con. He stated emphatically that we needed a parliamentary government (same as ALEC's founder, Paul Weyrich) and bragged that "his people" could get the remaining states needed for a Con-Con "in their sleep." Thank God, we found out and it was stopped. The legislators never disclose that corporations wrote and vetted these bills along with fellow politicians behind closed doors at ALEC meetings. So, everyone who is a member of ALEC is influencing not only state bills, but likely most federal bills as well, written by corporations with vested interests...along with lobbyists and state representatives. ALEC is a long time supporter of a Constitutional Convention. A 43 page handbook, written by Robert G. Natelson, entitled: "Proposing Constitutional Amendments by a Convention of the States," was provided to their mostly-republican members, along with model legislation to carry back to their states. The booklet is full of spins, lies, and misdirection. It claims the states must exercise control as given to them by the founders, that they must move quickly, that state legislatures will have complete control over the process, and will answer to the state legislatures they represent. This is far from the truth. As we discussed and made clear in Part 1 of this article, there is no provision in Article V empowering state legislators to choose the delegates to a Constitutional Convention or to "limit" the scope of a Con-Con. There are no rules, no regulations, and certainly no instructions. Henry Hazlitt Henry Hazlitt, American economist, (1894-1993), was the former economic advisor to pro-Constitutional Convention, National Taxpayer's Union (NTU), headed by James Dale Davidson. Davidson's NTU was instrumental in promoting a Con-Con in the early 80s and he claimed he gave $$100,000 every year to the cause. Hazlitt was a renowned conservative, and he wrote a book which he republished in 1974 called, "A New Constitution Now." This book makes the argument for replacing America's presidential system of government with a parliamentary one resembling Great Britain's. I thought we fought a revolutionary war to escape that form of government! Hazlitt's book is extremely dangerous inasmuch as Hazlitt states things like, "an amendment could be proposed that would strike out everything after "We the people," and that, of course, includes the Bill of Rights. He was suggesting that everything after "We the people" on down be scrapped and rewritten, which is amazing, as this document has provided more human dignity and freedom for more people than any other in recorded history. Other suggested improvements by Hazlitt include making it easier to amend our Constitution by adopting the Swiss and Australian procedure. Another would be to restrict Presidents to a single term. A third would be to abolish the office of Vice President. A fourth would reconstitute the Supreme Court, with each governor appointing a justice with the approval of his state legislature. (Think about that with these neo-conservative Trotskyite governors we have on the right, like Tennessee's Haslam, and the full-blown communists on the left, like New York's Cuomo.) The neo-conservative Trotskyite rightwing loved Hazlitt and still quote him. In the final part of this series, we'll discuss Rexford Guy Tugwell, and the Newstates Constitution. Tugwell was a man far ahead of his time. He deplored private property rights, declared our 1787 Constitution to be outmoded and archaic, and would have loved United Nations Agenda 21/Smart Growth/Sustainability. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: In fact, in 1938 Tugwell was appointed as the first director of the New York City Planning Commission. New York's reformist mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia, created the commission as part of a city charter reform aimed at reducing corruption and inefficiency. The Planning Commission had relatively limited powers – all actions needed approval from the legislative Board of Estimate. Rexford Tugwell tried to assert the commission's power. He tried to retroactively enforce nonconforming land uses, despite a lack of public or legal support. His commission sought to establish public housing at moderate densities, yet repeatedly approved FHA requests for greater density. Robert Moses killed Tugwell's proposed fifty-year master plan with a fiery public denouncement of its open space protections. [Link] Tugwell's book, "The Emerging Constitution," makes it clear where he stood. He states on page 593, "The other considerable change (to the Constitution) is the consolidation of states into fewer, and it is hoped, more effective regional groupings , thus at last organizing as one system rather than a confused fifty." Also on page 593 is this statement about the proposed Newstates constitution, "It will be noticed that the general emphasis on the protection of individuals from the exercise of governmental powers has been supplemented with a list of responsibilities."

Kelleigh Nelson -- Constitutional Convention Call Redux, Part 4

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION CALL REDUX PART 4 By Kelleigh Nelson March 26, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." -Thomas Jefferson Rexford G. Tugwell Rexford G. Tugwell's, "The Emerging Constitution," was also published in 1974 by "The Fund for the Republic, Inc.," which still is in existence today. Their staff includes none other than Harvard Professor, and Con-Con proponent, Lawrence Lessig, who we discussed in Part 2 of this article. Rexford Tugwell stated in his book that the nation has a constitutional crisis. He says, "The obsolescence of the federal government established by the Constitution, and unchanged since 1787--the twenty-six amendments (the twenty-seventh in 1992) adopted during that time made no important changes in structure--obviously called for reform, but none affecting the legislative branch could be made because that branch controlled the amending process. He goes on to say, "Because many of the Constitution's clauses were ambiguous and decisions had to be made about their meaning, the Supreme Court began to define their implications, and has continued this practice. This was manifestly undemocratic, but it was the only way of adapting an obsolete basic law to changing circumstances. There is absolutely nothing obsolete or ambiguous about our Constitution or the rights granted by God, those rights that precede the very document that recorded them for every American citizen. The New World Order elites have been selling this same propaganda for decades. Tugwell claimed the problems with our Constitution seemed so intractable and so urgently in need of solution that the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions began, and carried out for more than a decade, repeated explorations of their consequences, together with possible "solutions." The result of these discussions was embodied in repeated drafts of model constitutions. The latest of those models appears in Tugwell's book, including chapters explaining and supporting its provisions. It was the Ford Foundation, in 1964, who funded and orchestrated the drafting of a new constitution for America. As mentioned, this was done via the tax-exempt Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, an offshoot of "The Fund for the Republic, Inc., which had been established with a $$15 million grant from the Ford Foundation. This model constitution, drawing upon the efforts of more than 100 people, took ten years to write. The 40th draft was the one published in Rexford G. Tugwell's book, "The Emerging Constitution." The project cost $$2.5 million per year, or a total of $$25 million, and produced the Proposed Constitution for the Newstates of America. Tugwell was for Regional Governance. This is Communism in all its vicious and rotten glory. After the completion of the proposed Newstates Constitution (1974), Nelson Rockefeller, then president of the U.S. Senate, engineered the introduction of HCR 28 calling for an unlimited Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) in 1976. Public opposition defeated this effort so the convention backers then went to the states promoting a "limited convention" for the ostensible purpose of adding a balanced budget amendment. As I mentioned in Part 1 of this article, we defeated this effort as well. After the bombing of Hiroshima, University of Chicago Chancellor, Robert Maynard Hutchins decided to sponsor and lead a distinguished group of academics, most of which were University of Chicago academics, to craft an outline of a government for the world. Among these elite were Beardsley Ruml, a former dean at Chicago, and by 1945, the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York; Mortimer Adler, who had advocated world government in his book, How to Think about War and Peace; and economist Rexford Guy Tugwell, who wished to eliminate our 1787 Constitution. [Link] Tugwell would replace it with Regional Governance, or to make it more clear, Communitarianism. Check out this cartoon from the Chicago Tribune 1934, and notice Tugwell is driving! The caption is Planned Economy or Planned Destruction! In January, 1934, the Phillip County News, Malta, Montana, printed the article, "Tugwell Predicts New Regulations for Land With Federal Control." If you believe the United Nations Agenda 21's Smart Growth and Sustainability is something relatively new, you are mistaken. It is as old as satan himself. As Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Tugwell stated, "Use of all land, public and private will be controlled by the federal government in the future." "Land which cannot be operated effectively under private ownership will be held by the government as public forests, parks, game preserves, grazing ranges, recreation centers and the like," He also advocated controlling the total volume of farm products by limiting the area available for production, the government acquiring and devoting to other uses all land in excess of that needed for production. "Private control has failed to use wisely its control of the land." he concluded. "We are preparing a land program not merely for the benefit of those who held title to it, but for the greater welfare of all the citizens of the country." THIS IS COMMUNISM FOLKS...there are no individual rights granted in these statements. Communitarianism is the 'balancing' or subsuming of individual rights below the needs of the 'community.' "Through appropriate land use planning, it is his (the physical planner’s) job to help this transfer of land to occur in an orderly fashion by reconciling the rights of the individual with the interests of the community." From Planning Metropolitan Areas and New Towns , United Nations - New York, 1967, U.N. Publications Sales No. 67.IV.5 This is Regional Governance and what Tugwell promoted. President Franklin D. Roosevelt with his advisors: Cary Grayson, Norman Davies, Raymond Moley, Rexford Tugwell and William Woodin in 1932. From the Journal of State Government , Oct-Dec., 1991, "State governments have an important role to play, not only in understanding where they fit in, but also in erecting what President George Bush has called the New World Order. This order – if implemented properly – will emphasize collective security , (world Army under NATO-UN) international cooperation , and a dependence on international law (no more Constitution for the United States of America ) to resolve conflicts, promote economic and social development and create a respect for human rights... We must prudently, yet forcefully seize the opportunity and be constructive players." This was Tugwell's desire when he was Assistant Secretary of Agriculture under FDR. This proposed "Newstates Constitution," or one very like it, is waiting in the wings to be unfurled for the American citizens once they've fallen prey to a Constitutional Convention. The Newstates Constitution The New States Constitution illustrates with chilling clarity the final objective of regional governance conspirators. The goal is a corporate state concentrating economic, political and social powers in the hands of a ruling elite, and the right is holding the door open for the left to accomplish this goal! The people who took it upon themselves to write this new constitution on our behalf were, of course, not elected representatives , or in any other way our representatives. As a tax-exempt foundation, they were able to do political work on what amounts to a subsidy taken from our taxes, but we were never asked if we wanted a new constitution written. Indeed, only a very tiny fraction of the people in the United States even know that a newly written constitution exists. It has been made known to practically no one, except a select category of influential people whose views and interests generally coincide with those of the people who wrote it. The American people as a whole are still in the dark about it, and this situation is deliberate. It is therefore truly a "secret" constitution. The Newstates of America Constitution has a Preamble like our 1787 Constitution. Instead of "justice and domestic tranquility", the new constitution seeks only "good order" without defining what that means. The very first words are "So that we may join in common endeavors," and the body of the new constitution makes it clear that this means an end to individual endeavors. Their new constitution expressly states it is good only for a prescribed period of 25 years. No reference is made in the Preamble to our defense or general welfare. Worst of all, the matter of liberty, which is so central to our present Constitution, is totally ignored in the Preamble of the new one, which seeks only, "an adequate and self-repairing government." The emphasis throughout the new constitution is on the government - not on the people. "Adequate" really means, "too powerful to be challenged." "Self-repairing" means that the laws and governmental structures can be continually changed and shifted to permit anything our rulers wish to do. As an example, Article I is divided into two parts defining "Rights" and "Responsibilities." It turns out that some of our present rights totally disappear, and practically all of the rest become conditional and fragile, able to be terminated on the whim of the government. The responsibilities, however, which are obligations of the citizen to the government, are absolute and unconditional. Article II defines what are called the "Newstates." The 50 states we have now become 10 in number. That initial step was completed by Nixon’s executive order. States would be eliminated as will elected representation by and for the people, replaced by over-seers in the 10 regions with appointed ( unelected, i.e. Soviet ) bureaucrats to keep their subjects in line. It is no accident that our federal government for the past several years has managed its outlying activities through ten federal regions. Obama actually has appointed 10 governors over the 10 regions. These 10 new states will be completely subservient to the federal government and creatures of it. This is the plan of the International elite, and would enable full control of all Americans under their intended World Government, the head of which would be the United Nations. One needs to understand, the "Newstates" constitution is written in an "obverse" style which means "forming a counterpart." As an example, Article I, Section 11 states, "Education shall be provided at public expense for those who meet appropriate test of eligibility." The "obverse" of this statement is just as important as the statement itself and means, "All education shall be at public expense." In other words, all education will be government controlled and funded by taxpayer dollars, there will be no private schools that are not controlled by the federal government. We also must ask the question, what is the "appropriate test of eligibility?" The 1787 Bill of Rights would be replaced by "privileges" given to us by the world government and taken away at its whim. For example... Article 1-A Sec.1 - "Freedom of expression shall not be abridged except in declared emergency." This is not defined...leaving it to the whim of those in power. Article 1A Sec.8 - "The practice of religion shall be privileged." What does that mean? We can only practice our faith if we are granted permission? Article 1B Sec. 8 - "Bearing of arms shall be confined to the police, members of the armed forces, and those licensed under law." Ahhh, the teeth of the 1787 Constitution is finally eliminated! Article VIII states that the judge decides if there is to be a jury. This is communism. There would be little chance of those who disagree with the direction of the government ever receiving a fair trial. SECTION 10. Those who cannot contribute to productivity shall be entitled to a share of the national product; but distribution shall be fair and the total may not exceed the amount for this purpose held in the National Sharing Fund. The National Sharing Fund, I wonder how much those who work will have to "donate" to this fund. SECTION 12. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. No property shall be taken without compensation. What kind of compensation? The word "just" compensation is missing in this document. It goes on and on. Print out a copy for yourselves and read it. See what the elitists have in store for us should we open a new Constitutional Convention. Conclusion The same old tactics are used to convince new uneducated generations that we need a Constitutional Convention. The first step is to convince Americans into believing that their Constitution is obsolete and outdated, and no longer works for the huge society and problems we have today. The proponents tell us, "The 1787 Constitution is dangerously inefficient even in time of peace and fatally inadequate for total war." One of many ways to condition Americans into believing that their Constitution should be thrown out and a new Constitution promoted, is to hold "town meetings" across the country. The proponents indulge the public into examining the "inefficiencies" of our Constitution and analyzing new proposed changes, (BBA), which will strengthen and/or repair the Constitution we have now. The Con-Con proponents tell the electorate the fault lies with the inefficient 1787 Constitution for today's huge society. The reality is, the incompetence and inefficiency resides with those who are supposed to "serve" in government. They refuse to obey the oath they took to the Constitution when they were sworn into office. The longer they remain in those offices, the farther they stray from the tenets of our Constitution.

A new convention would be beyond the control of the people, and would result in potentially fatal and irreversible alterations to our Constitution. Our founders were honorable men. They were men who understood liberty and freedom. They understood our God-given unalienable rights, and wrote them down in our 1787 Constitution to be the law of the land.

Might flax seeds (ALA) increase prostate cancer risk?

There are a lot discussions and articles online about the supposed connection between flax seeds (ALA) and prostate cancer – suggesting that more flax consumed = increase chance of prostate cancer. I haven’t found this issue addressed on your website (sorry if I missed it). Can you comment? Thanks! DSikes / Originally posted below Just the Flax, Ma’am Answer: The latest meta-analysis of prospective studies found that, if anything, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, the omega-3 fat in flax) was protective against prostate cancer. Men consuming more than 1.5 g/day appeared to have significantly lower risk (the amount found in about a tablespoon of ground flax seeds). One of the reasons there’s been so much conflicting data is that ALA is found in great foods (dark green leafies) and less than great foods (meat), and so ALA intake is not necessarily a marker of healthy eating. What you want is a randomized controlled study of men with prostate cancer. Give half of them flax and see what happens. And that was done! (full text here) Researchers at the University of Texas Anderson Cancer Center took a bunch of men with prostate cancer about a month before they were to go into surgery. Half were put on a few tablespoons of ground flax a day and after surgery their cancerous prostates were examined. The proliferation rates of the cancer in the flax-eaters were only half that of the controls, confirming the test-tube studies done on prostate cancer cells suggesting that flax can indeed slow prostate tumor growth.

Are GMOs safe and are the nutrients in our crops declining?

Please discuss GMOs and decreased nutrition in our foods. Mary Ellen / Originally posted on Nutrition education in medicine: A doctor a day keeps the apples away Answer: This answer is from 2012. Please see our more recent videos on GMOs here: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/gmos For a discussion on how much the nutrient content of food crops has declined over the last 50 years please see my video Crop Nutrient Decline. In terms of GMOs, I’ve published a few papers on the inclusion of genetically modified animals in the food supply (for example here and here), but the relative risks and benefits of genetic engineering in crop agriculture is less clear. Unfortunately, the latest review on the safety of plant GMOs is not freely available, but an earlier review is. If one is interested in the two extremes of the debate I’d suggest Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods on the “anti” side and Why Genetically Modified Crops? on the pro.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 3

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 3 By Kelleigh Nelson April 2, 2013 NewsWithViews.com The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government. —Thomas Jefferson Here is a story told to me by a dear pro-life friend about the passing of her husband's grandfather. I've heard similar stories many times. "After breaking his hip and getting a replacement at age 92, he was sent home with Hospice. For approx two weeks, Hospice told the family he was to have no water or food, not even ice, even though his 85 year old girlfriend snuck him ice. He would take it. He was cognitive and looked at you and still was laughing at our jokes. My husband used to always pray and read the Bible when he visited. If his grandfather even thought my husband was going to leave without a prayer, he would request him to pray for him. Three days before he was murdered, my husband went to sing hymns to him and his grandfather looked at him and tried to speak, but his mouth was so dry he couldn't. Grandfather's daughters were instructed to give him pain meds every two hours, a cocktail of morphine, Benadryl and another one which is a respiratory suppressant. The day before his death, I was massaging the back of his neck and head which rigidity had already begun to set in, he RESPONDED to my touch. The next day, Christmas Eve morning we were with him. When we got there he GRUNTED at my husband as if to say, pray for me! My husband did. Grandfather has just received his "pain" medicine 20 minutes before, and the hospice nurse gave him another syringe. I pulled my husband into the bathroom and told him that she had just finished him off and he'd be dead in ten minutes, Twelve minutes later, he was gone. I watched this man who did not want to die, suffer from thirst and hunger. I watched him be murdered by Hospice as his ignorant family stood by and allowed it." The above story is all too common in today's society, whether it be in a hospital, nursing home, Hospice care facility, or the home of the individual. Hospice did not start out like this and was never intended to be a passive euthanasia, pro-euthanasia, or assisted suicide organization. There are three individuals who have had the greatest impact on end-of-life care in America: Physician Dame Cicely Saunders; Dean of Nursing (at Yale) Florence Wald, RN, MN; and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, MD. The originator of Hospice, Dame Cicely Saunders, would never have allowed the inhuman treatment of my friend's relative. Her Hospice care was guided by her Christian faith and by God's Word. Dame Cicely Saunders and St. Christopher's Hospice Hospice can be extremely beneficial in the care of terminal patients, and as I reported in Part 2 of this series, they were wonderful to my friend's mother. Today however, there are many Hospice organizations. This pioneering woman, physician Dame Cicely Saunders, opened the first modern hospice in a residential suburb of London in 1967. In 2013, St. Christopher's Hospice welcomes around 4,000 visitors annually and more than 50,000 health care professionals from all over the world visit and train there. Dame Cicely believed in a service that helps those at the end of the life by relieving their sufferings, but which would not hasten death in any manner . Saunders originally set out in 1938 to study politics, philosophy, and economics at St. Anne's College, Oxford University. In 1940, she left to become a student nurse at the Nightingale Training School of London's St. Thomas's Hospital. As a student nurse during WWII, she had witnessed terrible pain and suffering. She came to believe three things were important in passing from this world. She felt strongly that people needed relief from physical pain, they needed help with the psychological and spiritual pain of death, and they needed to preserve their dignity. In 1948, she fell in love with a patient, David Tasma, a Polish-Jewish refugee who, having escaped from the Warsaw ghetto, was dying of cancer. He left her 500 pounds to be what he called, "a window in your home." (Today this would be about $$740.00. I don't know what the exchange would be in 1948.) That act, which helped germinate the idea that became St Christopher's, is remembered by a plain sheet of glass in the entrance to the hospice. As a result of their conversations and his gift of love, Saunders discovered her mission, to ease all kinds of end-of-life pain. In a 2002 interview for The Daily Telegraph of London, she said, “I didn't set out to change the world; I set out to do something about pain." Saunders’ work was a “personal calling, underpinned by a powerful religious commitment,” wrote David Clark, an English medical school professor of palliative care and Saunders’ biographer. After some years in nursing, she went into training for social work. During this time, she vacationed with some Christians, and went through a conversion experience. In the late 1940s, Saunders was working part-time at St Luke's Home for the Dying Poor in Bayswater. This position was one of the reasons which led her to begin studying in 1951 at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School to become a physician. Compelled by her mission, she volunteered at St. Joseph's Hospice in London, where she remained for seven years and researched pain control. It was while there that she met a second Pole, Antoni Michniewicz, a patient with whom she fell in love. His death, in 1960, coincided with the death of Saunders' father, and another friend, and put her into what she later called a state of "pathological grieving." She had already decided to set up her own hospice focused on cancer patients, and said that Michniewicz's death had shown her that "as the body becomes weaker, so the spirit becomes stronger." Because the patients at St. Joseph's were perceived as beyond help, the nuns didn’t stick to pain control guidelines. Saunders learned to administer morphine before pain appeared, thus staying ahead of the pain. This would later influence her ideas about pain management and treatment. Saunders conceived of giving patients a regular pain control schedule, which, in her words, “was like waving a wand over the situation.” Her surgeon friend advised Saunders that if she were dedicated to pain management and caring for the terminally ill, people wouldn’t listen to a nurse. So, at the age of 33, at a time when there were few women doctors, she studied to be a physician. When she earned her medical degree in 1957 she became the first modern doctor to devote her career to dying patients. Antoni Michniewicz had inspired her to name her own hospice for people in the final stage of life’s journey. He suggested she name it after the patron saint of travelers, St. Christopher. It would take her another ten years to open St. Christopher’s Hospice, the world's first modern hospice, and she’d spend more than 50 years trying to humanize the dying experience for patients and their families. Dame Cicely claimed that after 11 years of thinking about the project, she had drawn up a comprehensive blueprint and sought finance after reading Psalm 37:5, "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Saunders was dedicated to improving care for the dying and their families. She recognized the value in a person's life up till the very end, and her vision of end-of-life care is what was so inspiring to many Americans who came to embrace the new way of caring for the dying. One of her legacies is the change in pain management. Saunders questioned practitioners' fears that their dying patients would become addicted to medications. Rather than respond to pain with intermittent sedation, Saunders’ novel method of pain control provided a steady state in which a dying patient could remain conscious and maintain a good quality of life. Saunders was also instrumental in the history of UK medical ethics. She gave one of the first London Medical Group (LMG) lectures on the subject of pain, developing the talk into 'The nature and Management of Terminal pain' by 1972. This talk went on to be one of the most often repeated and requested lectures of the LMG and other such Medical Groups that sprung up around Great Britain where it was often given as their inaugural lecture. Her talk on the care of the dying patient was printed by the LMG in its series "Documentation in Medical Ethics," a forerunner of the "Journal of Medical Ethics." Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: The founder of Hospice was an Englishwoman who had a huge impact on our world. Yet, her philosophy was simple. As she said to patients, “You matter because you are you, and you matter to the last moment of your life.” Dame Cicely died of cancer at the age of 87 in 2005, at St Christopher's Hospice, the hospice she herself had founded. Thus, Americans have enthusiastically accepted hospice as it was envisioned and practiced by Dame Cicely Saunders: a service that relieves suffering at the end-of-life but does not hasten death in any manner. In Part 4, we'll discuss both Elizabeth Kubler Ross and then Florence Wald and their legacies on American Hospice care, both of which are far different than Dame Cicely Saunders' Hospice.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 4

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 4 By Kelleigh Nelson April 5, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "We are at any given moment living the totality of everything....The vibrational oscillation of nature is quickening....Just remember that you are God, and act accordingly." -Shirley Maclaine For there shall arise false Christ's, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24, KJV Elisabeth Kübler-Ross During the same time period when Dame Cicely Saunders developed the basic tenets of Hospice philosophy, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross published results from her groundbreaking studies of dying patients. Her books about the psychological stages of response to catastrophe, and her lectures to health professionals, helped to pave the way for the development and acceptance of hospice programs in the United States. In her book, "On Death and Dying" she identified five stages of grief – denial, anger, depression, bargaining and acceptance. Time Magazine remarked of the book, “It has brought death out of darkness.” The topic and study of death (thanatology) had been avoided by many physicians, and the book quickly became a standard text for professionals who work with terminally ill patients. Kubler-Ross, a Swiss-born American psychiatrist, pioneered the concept of providing psychological counseling to the dying. Hospice care has subsequently been established as an alternative to hospital care for the terminally ill, and there has been more emphasis on counseling for families of dying patients. However, Hospice has not been the American panacea for dying patients which was envisioned in England by Dame Cicely Saunders. Elisabeth Kubler was one of three triplet girls born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1926. Though she weighed only 2 pounds at birth, she credited her survival to her mother's attention and love. She witnessed two deaths as a child that made a lasting impression upon her, and brought her to the realization that death was a part of life. Elisabeth's experiences in Poland, during WWII, as well as her visit to Majdanek Concentration Camp, as a volunteer relief worker, changed her life forever. [Link] She decided to spend her life healing others. In 1957, Kubler graduated from the University of Zurich School of Medicine. In 1958, she married Emanuel Robert Ross, an American doctor she met in medical school. They moved to New York for internships at Long Island's Glen Cove Community Hospital. Kubler-Ross then completed a three-year residency in psychiatry at Manhattan State Hospital and trained for a year at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. When their second child was born in 1965, they moved to Chicago, where she became an assistant professor of psychiatry at Billings Hospital, affiliated with the University of Chicago. There, she began to focus on the psychological treatment of terminally ill patients suffering from anxiety. She found that many health professionals preferred to avoid discussing death with them, leaving patients facing death alone. Most health professionals are trained to heal and treat disease, and are not trained in helping their patients face death. Elisabeth led numerous seminars on death and dying with care givers, doctors, nurses, ministers and others. In her 1969 book, Kubler-Ross calls the belief in life after death "a form of denial." Later, her views shifted dramatically, not to orthodox Christianity, but to new age philosophy. Finally, at the age of forty-six, she quit that post to do research on what death is like and to conduct weeklong workshops on life, death, and the transition to afterlife. Kubler-Ross's research had convinced her that there certainly was an afterlife. She was enamored by stories of near-death experiences (NDE's) and experienced her first apparition about this time. Elisabeth claims that a former patient of hers appeared to her when she was thinking of giving up her work. The woman, Mrs. Schwartz, got into an elevator with her and accompanied her to her office where she told her not to give up her work on death and dying. Kubler-Ross thought that she must be hallucinating because the woman, Mrs. Schwartz, had died ten months earlier. [Link] But when she asked her to write the date and sign a note the woman did so before disappearing. [Link] As a result, Elisabeth concluded that death does not exist in its traditional definition; rather it occurs in four distinct phases: (1) floating out of one's body like a butterfly leaving its cocoon, assuming an ethereal shape, experiencing a wholeness, and knowing what is going on around oneself; (2) taking on a state of spirit and energy, not being alone, and meeting a guardian angel or guide; (3) entering a tunnel or transitional gate and feeling a light radiating intense warmth, energy, spirit, and overwhelming love; and (4) being in the presence of the Highest Source and undergoing a life review. Her transformation brought a following of New Age spiritual seekers but cost Kubler-Ross much of her credibility in mainstream medical and academic circles. Elisabeth came to believe in parapsychology and out-of-body (OBE) experiences. According to parapsychologists, there are different types of OBE's. Reciprocal apparitions of the living are those in which experients (those experiencing the OBE) and agents see each other. "Bilocation" is a person’s ability to be in two places at the same time. The agent’s appearance is called a double. These events may be spontaneous, intentional and drug or electronically induced. NDEs, are those in which people, declared physically dead, leave the body, observe what’s happening, return to the body, and describe the experience. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was one of the major pioneers in this phenomenon. In previous centuries, when psychic phenomena were called the “occult,” OBEs were called astral projections. In 1875, occultist, Madame Helena Blavatsky established the Theosophical Society to study Eastern religions and science. She based her teachings on what she learned from sojourns in Asia. According to Theosophists, human aren’t entities of their physical bodies, but are theorized to be complex creatures of many ones. There’s an astral body that’s thought to be a replica of the physical one. The concept of an astral body was related to OBEs when paranormal phenomena were called the occult. It was postulated that the astral body, was attached to the physical one by a silver cord that traveled. It was believed that, if cords broke, experients would die. At about this time, Kubler-Ross became convinced of the reality of her own "spiritual guides" and she eventually moved to California in early 1976 to pursue these beliefs. There, she founded a healing center near Escondido (eventually called Shanti Nilaya, a Sanskrit phrase that she understood to mean "the final home of peace.") It was envisioned by her as the first of a worldwide network of retreats affirming "survival of the spirit after death in the form a living entity." Shanti Nilaya was where she could have a base for her workshops, explore out-of-body experiences, and develop a new lecture entitled "Death and Life after Death." In 1976, Elisabeth began an unfortunate experience with a charlatan, Jay Barham, and his wife, Marti. Barham ran a San Diego based church called the "Facet of Divinity, " where he encouraged members to engage in sexual relations with the "spirits." [Link] Elisabeth participated with the Barhams at gatherings where they, as mediums, or channelers, claimed to materialize spirit guides into human form. (When researching all of this, my mind kept jumping to Shirley Maclaine and her firm belief in these same new age teachings.) Kubler-Ross's reputation was severely tarnished when, in l979, Jay Barham had sexually seduced a number of females, including, allegedly, an underage girl. (Spirit Channeling. The idea behind this is to allow the spirits to overtake one's body and speak through them. This teaching is prevalent in the new age movement. This is where the occult really begins to enter New Age practice, eventually leading to other routines such as trances and clairvoyance.) I urge you to read this short article, "Sex, Visitors from the Grave, Psychic Healing: Kubler-Ross is a Public Storm Center Again," to understand Elisabeth's endorsement of the New Age and Barham's supposed ability to heal the sick and conjure up materialized spirits, which he calls "entities." Then there's this, from Robert Yahnke (The Gerontologist, 2005, v. 45, 426-428), reviewing a film on Kubler-Ross: "The film is admirably honest about the strange relationship Kubler-Ross developed with a spiritualist charlatan that led to the closing of Shanti Nilaya, the center she founded in California. It is common knowledge in the "death and dying" community that in a dark room the charlatan embodied the spirits of dead husbands and suggested he have sex with their widows. Kubler-Ross's sister tells how she tried to dissuade Kubler- Ross. She calls channeling spirits "hocus pocus" and "hogwash." Chaplain Imara says that what happened in those séances was transparently fake." There's also this observation of interest from Yahnke: "Her five-stage theory of dying has been largely discarded by scholars and practitioners. The theory could neither be empirically validated nor did it prove useful in making care plans for hospice patients. Her later writings were largely restatements of her first book or were claims about spiritual realities, especially life after death, that rested on faith, not science." In 1990, Elisabeth moved to Virginia and bought a 300 acre farm in the Shenandoah Valley. She founded the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Center on the property. She planned to adopt AIDs infected babies and bring them to her Center. However, this was met with great hostility. She suffered a series of break-ins at the Center, and her home and all her possessions were burned in a suspicious fire. Her son convinced her to move to Arizona and this is where her Foundation is today. Shortly after her move, she suffered a debilitating and paralyzing stroke. She continued to believe in the afterlife and spirit guides, and said her belief in reincarnation initially inspired her opposition to euthanasia. (Reincarnation. The meaning behind this word is "again in flash." New Agers believe that they will continue to be reincarnated until they have the right "karma" or have lived correctly. It is only at this point that they find their perfect peace.) In her autobiography, "The Wheel of Life: A Memoir of Living and Dying (1997), Kubler-Ross said she was enduring a "miserable" life resulting from pain and the limitations of her paralysis. Although she was "anxious to graduate" she remained opposed to efforts to foreshorten life (p. 280). Instead, she asserted that "our only purpose in life is growth" and that her task in these circumstances was to learn patience even as she was totally dependent on others for care (p. 281). Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: In a 1997 interview, she stated, "My only regret is that for 40 years I spoke of a good God who helps people, who knows what you need and how all you have to do is ask for it. Well, that's baloney. I want to tell the world that it's a bunch of bull. Don't believe a word of it." Although she opposed physician assisted suicide, and detested the likes of Jack Kevorkian, she apparently changed her mind on suicide as a legitimate option. She died August 24, 2004.

Dr. Greger Takes on Mediterranean Diet in New DVD

The Mediterranean Diet is an “in” topic nowadays, in both the medical literature and the lay media. More than 450 papers were published in the medical literature during just the last year alone, more than one a day. As a recent commentary noted “Uncritical laudatory coverage is the common parlance. Specifics are hard to come by: what is it? what is its history? why is it good? Merits are rarely detailed; possible downsides are never mentioned.” I answer these questions and more in a 6-part video series: Why Was Heart Disease Rare in the Mediterranean? The Mediterranean Diet or a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet? PREDIMED: Does Eating Nuts Prevent Strokes? Which Parts of the Mediterranean Diet Extended Life? Do Flexitarians Live Longer? Improving on the Mediterranean Diet They are all available right now as a video download as part of my new Latest in Clinical Nutrition volume 23 (all proceeds go to this charity). It can also be ordered as a physical DVD. The Mediterranean videos are all scheduled to go up on NutritionFacts.org by mid-March, but you can download and watch them right now. The current batch of videos from volume 22 on NutritionFacts.org just ran out, so starting next month and running through April, I’ll be rolling out the videos from this new DVD, volume 23. The DVDs give folks the opportunity to sneak-preview videos months ahead of time, watch them all straight through, and share them as gifts, but there is nothing on the DVDs that won’t eventually end up free online here at NutritionFacts.org. If you’d like the works–40+ hours of video–you can get the complete DVD collection. Here’s the list of chapters from the new volume 23 DVD — a preview of what’s to come over the next few months on NutritionFacts.org: The Problem With the Paleo Diet Argument What Causes Insulin Resistance? The Spillover Effect Links Obesity to Diabetes Lipotoxicity: How Saturated Fat Raises Blood Sugar Plant-Based Workplace Intervention The Cilantro Gene Reducing Glycotoxin Intake to Prevent Alzheimers Optimal Cholesterol Level Preventing Ulcerative Colitis with Diet Stool pH and Colon Cancer Why Was Heart Disease Rare in the Mediterranean? The Mediterranean Diet or a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet? PREDIMED: Does Eating Nuts Prevent Strokes? Which Parts of the Mediterranean Diet Extended Life? Do Flexitarians Live Longer? Improving on the Mediterranean Diet Exercise vs. Drugs for Depression Do Antidepressant Drugs Really Work? Is Milk Good for Our Bones? If White Rice is Linked to Diabetes, What About China? Oatmeal Lotion for Chemotherapy-Induced Rash Can Oatmeal Help Fatty Liver Disease? Nutritional Yeast to Prevent the Common Cold ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease): Fishing for Answers Diet and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) How Much Fruit is Too Much? Order my new DVD at DrGreger.org/dvds or through Amazon. It can also be ordered as a video download at DrGreger.org/downloads. DVD Subscription If you were a regular supporter, you’d already be a Mediterranean diet expert by now, having gotten the new DVD last week! I now come out with DVDs every 9 weeks. If you’d like to automatically receive them before they’re even available to the public, please consider becoming a monthly donor. Anyone signing up on the donation page to become a $$15 monthly contributor will receive the next three DVDs for free (as physical DVDs, downloads, or both–your choice), and anyone signing up as a $$25 monthly contributor will get a whole year’s worth of new DVDs. If you’re already signed up and didn’t receive your volume 23 yet, please email [email protected] and she’ll make everything all better.

Are GMOs Safe?

Welcome to Nutrition Facts. I’m your host, Dr. Michael Greger – and I’m here to ask you – what is the most important decision you’ll make today? Is it – how you’ll get to work? Who you’ll set up a meeting with? What friend you’ll call for lunch? Well. As it turns out – probably the most important decision you’ll make today – is what to eat. What we eat on a day-to-day basis is the number one determinant of our health and longevity. Literally. Most premature deaths in the United States are preventable – and related to nutrition. So we’re going to explore some smart nutrition choices – based naturally on facts. Here we refer to the science, the research, the available data published in the peer-reviewed medical literature right now. That’s why I wrote my book “How Not to Die” – and why I created my nonprofit site NutritionFacts.org – and now this podcast. Today we are going to look at the safety of GMOs, genetically modified organisms. As it turns out – their long-term safety remains an open question since so few human studies have been conducted. The greater concern may be the pesticides associated with GMOs, since 80% of GMO crops are bioengineered for pesticide resistance alone. Here’s the story. There is debate on the direct threat of the inserted genes, as they are not detectable in the human body, but the real danger may come from pesticides associated with genetically modified foods. Genetically engineered seed biotechnology typically has not been used to increase crop yields, nutrition, or drought tolerance but instead for profitable pesticide-resistant products. 80% of GMO crops are bioengineered only for pesticide resistance. Not surprising, given that the top 5 biotech companies are chemical companies that manufacture pesticides. This allows farmers to spray herbicides directly onto the crops, raising a theoretical possibility that the level of residues of the herbicide on food we buy at the supermarket may have increased. Or at least it was theoretical, until now. Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybeans are the #1 GM crop, genetically engineered to be resistant to the herbicide Roundup—also sold by Monsanto—allowing farmers to spray fields with the Roundup herbicide glyphosate, which then kills the weeds while leaving the soy standing. Monsanto maintains that Roundup Ready soybeans are compositionally equivalent to that of conventional soy, a concept that is used to argue that GMO foods are therefore as safe as non-GMO, but Monsanto didn’t report the level of pesticide residues. In fact, some of the comparison tests were done on Roundup Ready soybeans that hadn’t been sprayed at all, which is the whole point of having Roundup Ready plants so you can spray them with Roundup. In contrast to real-life samples from the market, transgenic crops intended for scientific studies are often produced without the application of herbicides or at doses lower than those typically used by farmers. It wasn’t until this study was published in 2014 when the full composition of ready-to-market soybeans were analyzed. Recently the prominent science journal, Nature, editorialized that we are now swimming in information about genetically modified crops, but that much of the information is wrong—on both sides of the debate. “But a lot of this incorrect information is sophisticated, backed by legitimate-sounding research and written with certitude,” adding that with GMOs, “a good gauge of a statement’s fallacy is the conviction with which it is delivered.” To many in the scientific community, GMO concerns are dismissed as one big conspiracy theory. In fact one item in a psychological test of belief in conspiracy theories asked people if they thought food companies would have the audacity to be dishonest about genetically modified food. The study concluded that many people were cynical and skeptical with regard to advertising tricks, as well as the tactics of organizations like banks and alcohol, drug, and tobacco companies. That doesn’t sound like conspiracy theory, that sounds like doing business. Minorities are blamed for conspiracist ideation for crackpot theories about AIDS, but we must remember there is a long legacy of scientific misconduct. Throw in a multi-billion dollar industry, and one can imagine how hard it is to get to the truth of the matter about GMOs. There are social, environmental, economic, food security, and biodiversity arguments, pro and con about GMOs, but those are outside my area of expertise so I’m going to stick to food safety, and as a physician I’m a rather limited veterinarian, in that I only know one species, human beings, so will skip the lab animal data, which may inform what to feed one’s pet rat, but not necessarily what to feed one’s family. What human data do we have about GMO safety? DNA from genetically modified crops can be transferred into humans who eat them, but that’s not what the study found, just that plant DNA in general may be found in the human bloodstream with no stipulations of harm. Of course, why get GMOs second-hand when you can get them directly? The next great frontier is transgenic farm animals. A genetically modified salmon was first to vie for a spot at the dinner table. And then in 2010, transgenic cows, sheep, goats and pigs were created, genetically modified for increased muscle mass, Frankenfurters one might say, based on the so-called mighty mouse model. But back to children of the corn and their mothers. When they say it’s a toxin, it’s a toxin to corn worms, not necessarily to people. In fact, I couldn’t find any data linking BT toxin to human harm, which is a good thing since it’s considered one of the few pesticides considered so non-toxic, it is sprayed on organic fruits and vegetables. Let’s put the hormonal effects of the Roundup pesticide on GMO soy, into perspective. In response to concerns raised about the toxicity of Monsanto’s Roundup pesticide, which ends up in GMO foods, Monsanto’s scientists countered that these in vitro experiments used physiologically irrelevant concentrations, meaning dripping Roundup on cells in a petri dish at levels far above what would be realistically found in the human body. Sure, it’s probably not a good idea to mix up your alcohol with your Roundup and chug the stuff, or try to commit suicide by drinking it, or injecting it into you. And the rare cases of Parkinson’s reported were after getting directly sprayed with the stuff, or working for years in a pesticide production plant, but that’s not your typical consumer exposure. Some of the researchers responded to the accusation saying look, we used the kinds of concentrations that are used out in the fields. Therefore every little droplet you spray worldwide is above the threshold concentration we found caused adverse effects. Monsanto’s folks responded saying yes, that’s the concentration we spray, but that’s not the concentration that human cells are bathing in. Once it gets into drinking water or food, it’s highly diluted. And, they’re quick to point out, if you look at people with the greatest exposure—pesticide workers—the vast majority of studies show no link between the use of Roundup and cancer or non-cancer diseases. There are a few suggestive findings suggesting a link with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. One study of pesticide applicators suggested an association with multiple myeloma, and one study of the children of pesticide applicators found a tentative association with ADHD, but again these are folks expected to have a much greater exposure level than the general population that may just get a few parts per million in their food. But there had never been any studies done on the tiny levels found circulating in people’s bodies, until now. The maximum residue levels are set at parts per million. The concentrations found within human bodies is measured in parts per billion. Glyphosate can activate estrogen receptors at a few parts per trillion, increasing the growth of estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cells in a petri dish. These results indicate that truly relevant concentrations of the pesticide found on GMO soybeans possesses estrogenic activity. But consumption of soy is associated with lower breast cancer risk, and improved breast cancer survival. That may be because most GMO soy in the U.S. is fed to chickens, pigs, and cows—it’s used for livestock feed, whereas most of the major soy food manufacturers use non-GMO soy. Or it could be because the benefits of eating any kind of soy may far outweigh the risks, but why accept any risk at all when you can choose organic soy products, which by law exclude GMOs. The bottom line is that there is no direct human data suggesting harm from eating GMOs, though in fairness such studies haven’t been done, which is exactly the point, critics counter. That’s why we need mandatory labeling on GMO products so that public health researchers can track whether GMOs are having any adverse effects. It is important to put the GMO issue in perspective, though. As I’ve shown, there are dietary and lifestyle changes we can make that could eliminate most heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and cancer. Millions of lives could be saved. A healthy enough diet can even reverse our #1 killer, heart disease. So I’m sympathetic to the biotech industry’s exasperation about GMO concerns when we still have people dropping dead from everything else they’re eating. As one review concluded “Consumption of genetically modified food entails risk of undesirable effects… similar to the consumption of traditional food. In other words, choosing the non-GMO Twinkie isn’t doing our body much of a favor.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 5

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 5 By Kelleigh Nelson April 10, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "... we must be wary of those who are too willing to end the lives of the elderly and the ill. If we ever decide that a poor quality of life justifies ending that life, we have taken a step down a slippery slope that places all of us in danger. There is a difference between allowing nature to take its course and actively assisting death. The call for euthanasia surfaces in our society periodically, as it is doing now under the guise of "death with dignity" or assisted suicide. Euthanasia is a concept, it seems to me, that is in direct conflict with a religious and ethical tradition in which the human race is presented with " a blessing and a curse, life and death," and we are instructed '...therefore, to choose life." I believe 'euthanasia' lies outside the commonly held life-centered values of the West and cannot be allowed without incurring great social and personal tragedy. This is not merely an intellectual conundrum. This issue involves actual human beings at risk..." —C. Everett Koop, M.D. * *taken from the book KOOP, The Memoirs of America's Family Doctor by C. Everett Koop, M.D., Random House, 1991 Florence Wald and American Hospice Florence Wald is the most famous leader of the modern American hospice movement. She was born Florence Sophie Schorske in New York on April 19, 1917. She received a B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 1938 and an M.N. from Yale School of Nursing in 1941. She received a second master's degree from Yale University in mental health nursing in 1956, and became an instructor at the school's nursing program. In 1959, she became Dean of Yale's School of Nursing. The Yale School of Nursing was founded in 1923 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Wald's entrance into hospice came about after she attended a 1963 lecture at Yale by Dr. Cicely Saunders, founder of St. Christopher's Hospice in London. Saunders' lecture emphasized minimizing pain in terminal cancer patients so that they could focus on their relationships and prepare for death. Wald immediately began reshaping the nursing school curriculum to put more focus on patients and their families and to emphasize care of the dying. Feeling further effort was required, Wald resigned as dean and went to London to study at St. Christopher's. Upon her return, she organized the first U.S. hospice in Branford in 1971. Connecticut Hospice, which began by offering in-home care but eventually built its own inpatient facility, became a model for hospice care here and abroad. Florence Wald, an agnostic and secular humanist, was an open advocate of euthanasia and assisted suicide, while Saunders, a devout Christian, opposed the practice and believed hospice made it unnecessary. As productive and influential as Florence Wald was, she sharply disagreed with Dame Cicely Saunders' life-affirming approach to end-of-life care and said: "I know that I differ from Cicely Saunders, who is very much against assisted suicide. I disagree with her view on the basis that there are cases in which either the pain or the debilitation the patient is experiencing is more than can be borne, whether it be economically , physically, emotionally, or socially. For this reason, I feel a range of options should be available to the patient, and this should include assisted suicide." So, is Wald saying assisted suicide should be made available for society's economic needs? Or perhaps she's referring to the family's inheritance? Economic because it costs the family too much or the health care system too much? Social reasons because a dying family member is a stressful situation on the family? Wald's pro-euthanasia type of hospice is what is being delivered in many parts of this country, though many hospice professionals will strongly deny that. Those who do remain faithful to Dr. Saunders life-affirming vision, who relieve the suffering of the dying until a natural death occurs in its own timing, will say they do not hasten death. Those who do hasten death will say the same. The public often has no way of knowing which type of hospice their loved one will experience. Many hospice leaders have spoken out against euthanasia and assisted suicide, and the whole American hospice movement has rapidly expanded since its inception. In 1983, Congress required Medicare to pay for hospice care, which put the treatment in mainstream medical practice. According to the Center for Nursing Advocacy, in 2010 over 5,100 hospice programs served nearly 1.6 million patients a year in the United States. Hospice was once a grass-roots, home-based model of end-of-life care, but is now part and parcel of corporate medicine. In 2005, for-profit organizations accounted for half of all hospices, and they charted profits of about 12 percent from 2001 to 2005, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. (MedPAC) [Link] Hospices that remain true to the Cicely Saunders' life-affirming mission will not hesitate to proclaim the sanctity of life, while they intervene to relieve suffering at the end-of-life. Those for-profit and volunteer hospices that are willing to hasten death normally do not speak about the sanctity of life, and they do not teach their staff to never impose death. In fact, their training results in quite the opposite. The hospice industry has marketed itself as this "compassionate thing" that exists all over the country and is filled with angelic staff who care and work the kind of wonders Dame Saunders encouraged. There are thousands of stories of wonderful care received from hospices and how the patient and the family have benefited. There are also thousands of stories of patients being put to an early death by overdosing with pain cocktails or by dehydration and starvation. There has been a very slick, sophisticated and well-financed campaign to completely twist the positive contributions of hospice into something the public would never openly accept. To be perfectly clear, water and sustenance are not heroic efforts to keep the dying alive. This is keeping the patient comfortable. When sustenance cannot be delivered, at least hydration can be given to keep the body comfortable. However, there comes a point where the patient's body shuts down, and neither food nor water are desired or taken and death is imminent. [Link] Palliative Care and Terminal Sedation Palliative care is not exclusively practiced in a hospice. It is the specialization in the field of medicine which relieves the distressing symptoms of any serious illness at any stage of life, whether terminally ill or not. The World Health Organization states that: "Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual." Terminal or palliative care is used by a majority of hospices today. This often involves permanently sedating the patient, allowing the patient to dehydrate and die. It looks outwardly peaceful as the patient is made to sleep in a medically-induced coma, but the patient's death is the result. Terminally-sedating the patient is something that can be done in hospice that doesn't outwardly appear like euthanasia where a lethal agent is given. (Morphine is the potent opiate which directly effects the central nervous system. It has neurotoxic effects on the brain. Overdoses lead to asphyxia and respiratory depression. It slows metabolism, causes incontinence, and has acute and chronic effects on the endocrine system, blood, the heart and lungs. The hospice "cocktail" usually consists of Ativan, Haldol and Morphine). It also doesn't outwardly appear like assisted suicide where a patient takes a lethal medication prescribed by a physician. Terminal sedation is more subtle and deceptive. This is what happened to my friend's relative who I told about in Part 3. The man wanted to be with his family, but food and water was denied by hospice. (Yes, there are hospices that refuse to give any food or water and you must sign on to that when they are hired.) The sedating "cocktails" were given to the point where respiratory function was decreased enough to cause early death. Palliative medicine is commonly used by hospice to relieve many symptoms of the dying patient. It is precise and tuned especially for each patient's illness. However, there are facilities wherein every patient is sedated because all the patients are "agitated." It is a perversion of hospice as well as palliative care. It is a deliberate railroading of patients to an imposed death, a hastened death through "palliative" or "terminal" sedation. Surprising to many, terminal, palliative or "total" sedation is so commonly used today to hasten death (a method of stealth euthanasia) that it is defined by the pro-euthanasia Compassion and Choice's "Good to Go Resource Guide" glossary. They define it as: "the continuous administration of medication to relieve severe, intractable symptoms that cannot be controlled while keeping the patient conscious. This treatment renders the patient unconscious and relieves suffering by inducing an artificial coma. The unconscious state is maintained until death occurs." Unfortunately, it is used way too often on patients who are not having severe, intractable symptoms that cannot be controlled while they are conscious. Ron Panzer of Hospice Patients Alliance states, "In many cases, the Adult Protective Service system is even used to intimidate those who truly care about the patient and object to clinically unnecessary or harmful interventions. These can be as common as giving morphine when there is no pain, sedating a patient who is not agitated, depriving the patient of needed medications when they are still benefiting from them or not providing food and fluids as needed when they patient is still benefiting from them. We have received many calls from families who tell us the hospice falsely accused them of being a threat to their own loved one and called APS when they voiced their objections to the death-protocols being implemented at the hospice. So we have those who truly care about the patient being accused of being a threat, and those who hasten death in charge of the agency entrusted to care for the patient!" Euthanasia Society and Hospice Many supporters of the sanctity of life simply do not know how deep this all goes and how successful the heirs of the original Euthanasia Society of America have been in our nation. They do not know how the Euthanasia Society is connected with the largest segment of the hospice industry in America, and when some have finally understood it, they have been shocked. Most of those who affirm the sanctity of life view hospice as the rightful alternative to euthanasia and assisted suicide. Sadly, this is becoming a rarity. The largest hospice organization in our nation is the successor organization to the Euthanasia Society of America. According to the most prominent hospice leaders in the world, many hospices in the United States today have no reservations about hastening death through "terminal sedation," or "palliative sedation." Federal regulations governing hospice are far fewer in number than those protecting patients in nursing homes or hospitals, or that state agencies inspect hospices less frequently than nursing homes or hospitals. Some hospices may go years without being inspected at all. Because of the HIPAA privacy regulations, nobody interested in researching what is actually going on in hospice can get access to the data, so hospices that have an agenda can act without any outside interference or supervision. Unlike Dame Cicely Saunders, a majority of leaders at the top of today's hospice certainly look nothing like the sanctity-of-life hospice Dr. Saunders founded, yet they pretend to be. They are what we call utilitarians, interested in the profits, and expansion of their influence and business. The leaders at the top of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization ("NHPCO") are the Euthanasia Society of America's heirs and benefactors philosophically. The NHPCO is legally and corporately the final successor organization of the Euthanasia Society in the very strictest sense of the terms. The Euthanasia Society of America successors, especially in hospice, are now proceeding with their plan to implement stealth euthanasia for citizens whose "quality of life" is deemed "unworthy of life." The elderly and severely disabled are the targets, which feeds right into Obama Care. They don't and won't have to be the "very" elderly or "very" disabled. With Obama Care it will be the "not-so-elderly" (even 60 years old) or disabled, being placed in hospice and dying shortly thereafter, even though they had no terminal illness at all. Others have warned about these developments: "In an era of cost control and managed care, patients with lingering illnesses may be branded an economic liability, and decisions to encourage death can be driven by cost. As Acting U.S. Solicitor General Walter Dellinger warned in urging the Supreme Court to uphold laws against assisted suicide: "The least costly treatment for any illness is lethal medication."

It is from Ron Panzer's book, "Stealth Euthanasia, Health Care Tyranny in America." Several people who work with the elderly and dying have contacted me with first hand stories of what they've seen with hospice care. Others have been family members who have witnessed the lack-of-care in nursing homes and hospitals, as well as the euthanasia tactics of many hospice care givers. Still, some have been treated to wonderful care, the sanctity-of-life treatment Dame Cicely Saunders wanted for all of us who will eventually face death.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 6

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 6 By Kelleigh Nelson April 14, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.” —Dr. Jacques Cousteau "Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control." —Professor Maurice King “I've been a cancer doctor for over 30 years, and I think the proper role for a doctor is to take care of the patient. Assisted suicide should not be in the realm of medicine.” —Dr. Kenneth Stevens Living Wills The first living will was conceived in 1967 by Luis Kutner, a human-rights lawyer in Chicago, and cofounder of the pro-abortion Amnesty International, in conjunction with the Euthanasia Society of America. The living wills were distributed by the Euthanasia Society. Luis Kutner's musings about death anticipated the day when medicine would cross the line from prolonging life to prolonging dying. In 1967, he wrote his first ''living will,'' a document that allows a person to specify under what conditions life-support systems should be discontinued. In 1930 Mr. Kutner helped found an American chapter of the Euthanasia Society, modeled after an English counterpart that included, playwright and eugenic extremist, George Bernard Shaw and Julian Huxley (the first Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and a member of the Eugenics Society). The idea did not catch on, but in 1938 the Rev. Charles Potter founded the Society for the Right to Die. In April, 1984, a team of prominent doctors published in the New England Journal of Medicine a set of guidelines for treatment of gravely ill patients, concluding it was ethical to withhold nutrition and even medicine if it only prolonged a painful death. Anyone who doubts that the Living Will, which is urged upon all Americans, comes from the Euthanasia Society can read the main article proposing its adoption written by attorney, Luis Kutner in 1969 entitled, " Due Process of Euthanasia: The Living Will, A Proposal ," [Indiana Law Journal v. 44, 1969, p. 549] The Living Will was written to create a due process of euthanasia. In addition, in 1970, the Euthanasia Society of America distributed 60,000 living wills. They knew where they were leading American society, but the misguided, trusting Americans couldn't see it. Kutner's intention in creating the Living Will was to provide a way that governmental authorities could allow a form of euthanasia. The living wills were "sold" to the public as patients determining what type of care they would or would not want, but their main effect is to limit care that might allow them to live longer, an incremental step toward open euthanasia. The euthanasia-supporting organizations gave us the Advance Directives and the Living Wills, and now we have the P.O.L.S.T. forms (Physician Orders for [Limiting] Life-Sustaining Treatment) which are spreading across the country. Even though the public today never thinks they are agreeing to "euthanasia" when they make out a living will, the effect of filling one out can interfere with getting treatment if you change your mind and want care. For example, some physicians will "write off" patients who have a Do-Not-Resuscitate order or a Living Will and simply provide "comfort care" while refusing to treat easily-treated problems. The result is ultimately death for the patient. If you are having any form of surgery, one of the first questions you'll be asked is if you have a "living will." If you do, I'd suggest you destroy it. If you don't, then congratulations, you're one of the few who have refused to be brainwashed into providing a way for the medical industry to deny you care, and perhaps bring about your early demise. Medicare The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R.3590) has already modified how Medicare will be run. Under Section 3021, "Establishment of Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation," the Secretary of Health and Human Services "shall adjust the payments made to an eligible safety net hospital system or network from a fee-for-service payment structure to a global capitated payment model ." [H.R.3590 p.205] Going from a Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement system that pays fees for each service provided, to a system that has a cap on payments made for all services provided to a patient is one of the most significant changes to Medicare ever made and will certainly result in drastic changes. In Part 2 of this series I told about the Geisinger Hospital programs President Obama has praised. They have already moved away from the medical standard of fee-for-service. Hospitals will have to change what tests, surgeries and treatments they provide if they know the amount they will be paid is capped for each patient they serve! This certainly will result in more people dying for lack of care, or needed life-saving surgeries, or even for surgeries like knee or hip replacements. The changes to Medicare/Medicaid are not being seen by the majority of the public, nor are they being reported by the controlled media. These changes are also being made to all health care. We are quickly moving from a sanctity-of-life society to one that closely resembles Hitler's eugenics program, targeting the elderly and disabled for early death. The changes aren't for efficiency, they're for something else. Those of us on Medicare or Medicaid are already experiencing the decisions made by unelected bureaucrats in D.C. (Remember, in older dictionaries, "Soviet" is defined as unelected councils.) America's seniors are stuck with Medicare even though in 1965 when it became law, it was a "voluntary" program. Lyndon Johnson pressured all private health insurers to cancel all policies available to seniors. And get this, if a senior wants to opt-out of Medicare they have to give up their Social Security, even though we've paid into it all our lives. Only the very wealthy (think politicians) can opt out. Medicare is a monster program that has NEVER been run efficiently and has been crippled by fraud from day one, and is in enormous debt. [Link] Both political parties are silently promoting the stealth euthanasia already begun long ago in America. The past generous benefits of Medicare are to be phased out to make the program more "efficient." The politicians tell us there is no rationing of care, and truly there are no "formal" death panels. However, they have set in motion the processes that reduce reimbursement under the guise of "limiting expenditures," or "keeping costs down," and these processes will result in rationed care. The HMOs, and private health insurance companies will make decisions knowingly resulting in denied tests, denied treatments, and certain death in many cases. When the federal government completely takes over health care, test and treatment denials will be the equivalent of death for many. Obama Care creates several methods which are likely to result in rationed care. The "Independent Payment Advisory Board" (IPAB) is allegedly not allowed to make recommendations that result in rationing, but it can and will exert pressure on providers by reducing how much they get paid to provide a service. It's all about our money folks. PJ Media states, "The IPAB would consist of 15 members appointed by the president (and confirmed by the Senate), empowered to decide what medical tests and procedures Medicare would cover and how much it would pay providers. However, giving this power to the IPAB would put tremendous medical decision-making in the hands of unelected officials with minimal accountability . We’ve already seen a foretaste of this when a federal government medical panel attempted to save money by restricting screening mammography to women over age 50, even though decades of medical research has shown clear benefits to starting annual mammograms at age 40."Although the Obama administration stated that the IPAB would not ration medical care, its power to set payments to doctors and hospitals would give it de facto rationing power. Once the feds take over management of the entire health care system, (as in Medicare and Medicaid), it will have control over how care is delivered, what care is available, and who receives the care .... or not. It controls how much providers are paid...the very reason physicians are being driven from the field! According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, America will face a shortage of more than 90,000 doctors in 10 years. With the growing population of baby boomers and the shortage of doctors, anyone with a brain can see what will happen. The Agenda 21 planners will eliminate a good many of us just because we can no longer receive life saving care. Politicians of both stripes are promoting palliative and hospice care as the destination for us all. There is no need for the "death panel." Rationed care will result in early death for the elderly, ill, and disabled. Ione Whitlock of The LifeTree Organization tells us, "Thanks to Big Death - a collection of heavily funded non-profit hospice and palliative care groups - the line between palliative care (pain relief; symptom management) and imposed death has become blurred." Hospice Growth "There were more than twice as many Medicare hospice patients in 2008 than in 1998." -- Hospice Data 1998-2008 - Centers for Medicare Services. With the number of patients, i.e., "customers," increasing by 10% every year, without fail, the Corporate Hospice industry will grow exponentially. "Expenditures for the Medicare hospice benefit have increased approximately $$1 billion per year. In fiscal year (CY) 1998, expenditures for the Medicare hospice benefit were $$2.2 billion, while in CY 2008, expenditures for the Medicare hospice benefit were $$11.2 billion." (Source: Health Care Information System (HCIS)]." -- Hospice Data 1998-2008 - Centers for Medicare Services). In 2009, only about 40% of hospice patients were cancer patients. However, in the 1980s, almost all of them were! Patients are now being shunted into hospice because they are elderly, some may be weak, others with minor non-Alzheimer's forgetfulness, and not always with terminal diseases. Sometimes the elderly are not receiving proper care, either by family or in nursing homes and become frail and weak. Then they are shunted into hospice. The plan is for 100% of Americans to die in Hospice. The cost for acute care is much too high to be "sustainable," according to our government. Some private insurers are creating "Advanced Illness" programs where patients are admitted for care by a hospice agency even though they are not expected to die within six months. This appears to be a move to save money by having patients die sooner with fewer or no hospitalizations, thereby saving the private insurance company (and the government) significant expenditures and increasing profit. What used to be a strictly volunteer program for the dying patient is now very big business. The CEO of the largest nonprofit hospice in the country, Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, is Mary Labyak, and she has told her staff, "We've got to corner the market." This is corporate mentality, and it's all about money, not caring for the patients at end-of-life. Labyak's salary in 2009 was $$320,347. Labyak is regularly placed on the board of directors of the nation's largest hospice lobbying group, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Hospice of Michigan, Inc., the second largest nonprofit hospice in the U.S., reports it paid $$447,008 in 2009 to its CEO, Dorothy Deremo. Hospice of the Western Reserve, Inc., the third largest nonprofit hospice in the U.S., reports it paid $$323,740 in 2008 to its CEO, David Simpson. The top level policymakers, most of them unelected , have decided that people will die in hospice or palliative care units, and that they will be pushed into hospice through a wide variety of means. Researchers at Duke University found that hospice reduced Medicare costs in 2009 at about $$3.6 billion. With the baby boomers aging, imagine the increase in "cost savings" for the government as hospice doubles in the years to come. The nation's most prominent hospice physicians (such as Joanne Lynn, MD and Ira Byock, MD) are proponents of terminal sedation to hasten death. [Link], [Link] Willard Gaylin, MD, co-founder of the Hastings Center is a proponent of euthanasia who applauds the efforts to expand the definition of "death" in order to overcome obstacles to legally performing euthanasia. Gaylin is widely accepted in the mainstream media and policymaking circles, and the Hastings Center is one of the organizations that has most influenced the modern American hospice industry to betray its original mission to care, not kill. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: If patients are hurried along toward death, the savings skyrocket. Obama Care's cost savings will come from the baby boomers being euthanized quickly rather than being treated for illnesses, chronic or otherwise, at the end of their lives. Not only is this part of the United Nations Agenda 21 plan of population reduction, but this will rid America of those who still remember what this country was founded on and our God given rights. We are considered "useless eaters." The plan is a fait accompli.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Killing us Softly, Part 7

KILLING US SOFTLY PART 7 By Kelleigh Nelson April 14, 2013 NewsWithViews.com H.G. Wells in Anticipations (1901), described the coming “world state” where there would be “the merciful obliteration of "weak and silly and pointless” people. In Robert Hugh Benson’s, Lord of the World (1907), he said there would be Ministers of Euthanasia (like Jack Kevorkian) in 1998 under American Socialism. (a few years later, but I believe we're there) Policymakers Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, who our President appointed Health Advisor, promotes the "Complete Lives System" that is being implemented to ration care. (Dr. Emanuel makes a clear choice: "When implemented, the "complete lives system" produces a priority curve on which individuals aged roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get changes that are attenuated.") Donald Berwick, who our President appointed administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is a strong proponent of "Comparative Effectiveness Research" which will also be used to ration care. (In the United Kingdom, rather than focusing on the individual needs of patients, the National Health Service (NHS) uses comparative and cost-effectiveness information to limit options as a budgetary tool.) There is little doubt the same will happen in the US. Under the new law, "Accountable Care Organizations" are set up which will force very aggressive rationing practices by medical groups. (The health-care law calls for paying providers for the services they use and for rewarding them for any savings, initially in the Medicare program.) Cass Sunstein, who our President appointed "Regulatory Czar," (and who thankfully resigned) states that unless you specifically record your wish not to donate organs, doctors should be able to harvest your organs (should you be declared "brain dead") for donation on the basis of "presumed consent," even if you never actually give consent. He also has stated that an economic crisis can be "used to usher socialism into the United States." Our President appointed John Holdren as "Science Czar." Holdren is the co-author of the 1977 book, Ecoscience that promotes ideas like forced sterilizations and abortions to limit population growth, compelling single mothers to give up their children to others, putting chemicals in water supplies to prevent births, and a planetary world government that would implement these ideas for the good of the world. Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, has stated, "services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed." These are the people in society who Emanuel considers "useless eaters." They are no longer productive, and therefore, these vulnerable citizens should die. This is not surprising since Dr. Emanuel is a fellow at the Hastings Center ... the same Hastings Center co-founded by the euthanasia proponent, Willard Gaylin, MD ... the same Hastings Center whose other co-founder, Daniel Callahan, explained in 1983 that taking all food and fluid away from vulnerable patients was probably the only way to make sure certain patients actually die (without legalization of euthanasia in America). This is the same Hastings Center that has worked side-by-side with hospice industry leaders to transform hospice and palliative care into the practical laboratory where its utilitarian, pro-euthanasia ideas are implemented, practices we now know as stealth euthanasia and direct euthanasia. [Link] The Project on Death in America, financed by billionaire George Soros and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation poured more than $$200 million over the last decade into end-of-life programs and research. [Link] Robert Wood Johnson II built the family firm of Johnson & Johnson into the world's largest health products maker. He died in 1968. He established the foundation at his death with 10,204,377 shares of the company’s stock. The Robert Woods Johnson Foundation has given the Hemlock/Partnership for Caring and Last Acts merger, now known as Last Acts Partnership, over $$1 million. According to the foundation, a longtime supporter of Planned Parenthood and euthanasia, Last Acts was the launching pad for an $$11.25 million grant to "elevate awareness" and "inspire improvements" on end of life health care. The Johnson Foundation stated, "The program works at a number of clinical sites to encourage doctors to introduce palliative care earlier in patients' diagnoses and to change the culture of medical institutions, which often focus exclusively on cure." In other words, promote euthanasia, but do it deceptively. The Soros project plans to act as a resource center to encourage other donors to support death-and-dying causes. Robert Woods Johnson Foundation is still making grants and supporting the work to change how Americans think about dying and how they die. They are funding the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization's "Caring Connections" program. The leaders at the top of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization ("NHPCO") are the Euthanasia Society of America's heirs and benefactors philosophically. The NHPCO is legally and corporately the final successor organization of the Euthanasia Society in the very strictest sense of the terms. Soros and W.H.O. The World Federation of Right To Die Societies (which "consists of 44 right to die organizations from 25 countries), states that it "strongly believes the manner and time of dying should be left to the decision of the individual, ... and that the voluntarily expressed will of individuals, ... should be respected by all concerned as an expression of intrinsic human rights." The list includes many well-known pro-euthanasia organization names, Death With Dignity, Choice in Dying, Final Exit, etc. Listed prominently in the successor organizations of the Euthanasia Society of America is none other than the familiar hospice organization, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization! Why shouldn't it be? The NHPCO commonly gives out living wills, and advance directives. [Link] The following article exposes George Soros' Social Agenda for America. His puppet, Barack Obama, is doing his bidding with the passage of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act! From Capital Research Center's article, "George Soros' Social Agenda for America." Many of Soros’ policy interests appear quixotic. Euthanasia, like drug use, has little public support, and Americans look at public policy proposals to make it lawful with reactions ranging from skepticism to revulsion. Soros, however, approaches the popular reaction as an opportunity for public education. His grant making in this area is a form of national tutoring that he no doubt expects will eventually have a long-term impact--reaching even to rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court. In a November 1994 lecture at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City, Soros revealed one motive for his interest: “Voters in Oregon just approved a law that makes it the first state to lift the prohibition against physician-assisted suicide. As the son of a mother who was a member of the Hemlock Society ... I cannot but approve .” Founded in 1980, the Hemlock Society is a nonprofit group that advocates the right of the terminally-ill to commit suicide and calls for passage of laws permitting physician-assisted suicide. That year Soros began giving money to start the "Project on Death in America" (PDIA), whose purpose is “to understand and transform the culture and experience of dying and bereavement through funding initiatives in research, scholarship, the humanities, and the arts, and to foster innovations in the provision of care, public education, professional education, and public policy.” OSI (Soros' Open Society Institute) remains a strong supporter of PDIA; in 2000 the foundation contributed a three-year $$15 million grant to sustain its mission. Soros’ goal is to transform American attitudes toward death by changing public attitudes about physician-assisted suicide . His financial backing has helped drug legalization proponents gain a new respectability, and he aims to do the same for supporters of euthanasia. PDIA’s large annual budget—$$5 million—has helped it achieve prominence. PDIA director Kathleen M. Foley has testified before Congress on physician-assisted suicide, and PDIA-linked physician Susan Block, MD, a psychiatrist with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, last year argued in the pages of the New England Journal of Medicine that “physician-assisted death may be an acceptable option of last resort.” At a conference funded by PDIA, Dr. Robert Twyncross of Oxford University, lectured participants about America’s medical system. Twyncross lamented that U.S. medicine was “hell-bent on defying death”—as if that were wrong—and referred favorably to Britain’s socialist health system. In 2000, OSI also made grants to the Death with Dignity National Center ($$100,000) and the Oregon Death with Dignity Legal Defense and Education Center ($$75,000). National Death with Dignity describes itself as “the premier educational organization dedicated to discussing physician aid in dying openly, seriously, and with intellectual rigor.” The Oregon group works to make the state the first to allow “terminally ill individuals meeting stringent safeguards to hasten their own deaths.” Founded in 1993, it would make it legal for ailing people to obtain lethal drug prescriptions. Another Oregon-based group, the Compassion in Dying Federation of America (CDFA), has received OSI funding—$$150,000 in 1998 and $$125,000 in 1999. CDFA supports “aid-in-dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults” and claims “assurance of a humane death enhances the celebration of life.” In 2001, PDIA made grants totaling $$5,105,000 to groups concerned with what’s called “end of life” assistance for ailing people, such as palliative care for the terminally ill elderly. Other programs such as the PDIA “Social Work Leadership Development Awards” aim to increase the prestige of social workers committed to “end of life care” and help make them “mentors” and “role models” for a new generation of social workers. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) and George Soros are tightly intertwined. Kathleen M. Foley, MD is the medical director of the International Palliative Care Initiative of Soros's Open Society Foundations Public Health Program. They are working to advance palliative care globally, but not the palliative care of those who respect life. Instead, this is "palliative sedation," as described in Part 5. The George Soros-funded group, together with Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, financed much of the extreme changes in end-of-life care through the 1990s and up to the present time. The booklet, "The Solid Facts, Palliative Care," edited by Elizabeth Davies and Irene Higginson, and distributed by W.H.O. ,was supported by the Floriani Foundation with collaboration of the Soros-funded Open Society Institute! Other members of WHO's palliative care leadership team include, among others, Joanne Lynn, MD. Elizabeth Wickham, PhD, Executive Director of the Life Tree Organization, encourages us to look back to a June, 1997 NY Times story to get a better description of what Lynn believes about total sedation and withholding and withdrawing life sustaining treatment. In the June, 1997 NY Times article, "Passive Euthanasia in Hospitals Is the Norm, Doctors Say," Joanne Lynn stated, " When a patient is ready to die, I can stop nutrition and hydration. I can stop insulin and ventilation. I can sedate them ." Dr. Lynn represents very mainstream medical thought in America today. Dr. Lynn would have survived quite well with Dr. Mengele's experiments in Auschwitz/Birkenau concentration camps. She does not condemn medical killing via withholding food and hydration along with palliative sedation. Lynn recently was a consultant to the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This should thrill us all that a woman who believes she has the right to murder her elderly and dying patients was a consultant to Medicare and Medicaid! Doesn't that give you a tingle up the leg! Joanne Lynn has also been a senior researcher at the Rand Corporation. [Link] In my article, Mind Control and Smart Growth, I explained how smart growth facilitators' attain their pre-determined outcome via their use of the evil Rand Corporation's mind-control Delphi Technique. RAND developed the Delphi method in the 1950s for the U.S. Department of Defense. It was originally intended for use as a psychological weapon during the cold war. The Hospice Holocaust "Action T4" was the name given to the euthanasia program used in Germany during Hitler's reign of terror. T4 is the abbreviation of the address in Berlin where it was concocted. "Tiergartenstrabe 4. "The euthanasia decree was written on Hitler's stationary, dated, September 1, 1939. It stated, "Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians, to be designated by name, to the end that patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, can be granted a mercy death." Dr. Brandt was Hitler's personal physician. In order to garner support from the public in 1938, a poster was produced, showing a handicapped individual sitting in a chair with the words, "60,000 Reichmarks is what this person suffering from hereditary defects costs the people's community during his lifetime. Comrade, that is your money too." The same type of euthanasia program that took place under T4 is now taking place in homes across America, but it's all happening under the radar. Pastor Joey Faust witnessed his aunt being put to death by a morphine overdose administered by a hospice nurse. He has decided to fight back. He exposes this terrible "hidden" evil that has spread throughout America in a two part interview. Conclusion Nearly all of the information in this series has come from two books, "War Against the Weak," by Edwin Black, and Ron Panzer's, "Stealth Euthanasia: Health Care Tyranny in America." It is by far, the best expose of what is happening to our elderly and why. I quoted from his documentation quite liberally in this series and am thankful for his efforts. For help in locating a hospice, see Ron Panzer's, Hospice Patients Alliance website. The majority of Americans are asleep, and in 2015 when the final stages of Obama Care kick in, the baby boomers will wonder what happened to them. It is unfortunate that most Americans have not fought the destruction of our once wonderful health care system. The forces behind the United Nations Agenda 21/Smart Growth/Sustainability are hell bent on population reduction. Their plan is to eliminate 85% of the world's population. We are murdering our babies in the womb at the rate of 2,000 a day. In 40 years, 60 million American babies have died at the hands of abortion providers. For 40 years we've also been killing our elderly with passive and open euthanasia, and now assisted suicide. It is obvious our elected representatives are in on the whole agenda. In February, 2013, only 30 of the Republican representatives in the House voted to defund Obama Care. The enemy is winning. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!

Kelleigh Nelson -- Smart Growth, Stealth Zoning and the Delphi Technique

SMART GROWTH, STEALTH ZONING AND THE DELPHI TECHNIQUE By Kelleigh Nelson April 23, 2013 NewsWithViews.com The goal of this comprehensive plan is to make sure our city is affordable and competitive. We can make the most efficient use of our tax dollars if we plan carefully instead of letting things happen chaotically. —American Planning Association "Human habitation as it is referred to now is restricted to lands within the Urban Growth Boundaries of the city. Only certain building designs are permitted. Rural property is more and more restricted on what uses can be on it." —Rosa Koire, Behind the Green Mask In East Tennessee, the UN Agenda 21 Smart Growth plan is the five county local "Regional" program called Plan East Tennessee, (Regional Plan for Livable Communities), a plan which will eliminate private property rights in these five counties. [Link] It is the plan for Smart Growth. Our City of Knoxville applied for a federal grant from Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities, while our Governor Haslam was Mayor of the City of Knoxville. [Link] These grants, part of the Obama administration's Partnership for Sustainable Communities, bring together HUD, Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Two types of grants were awarded — those to update existing plans, and those to develop sustainability plans from scratch. Knoxville's Plan ET is from scratch and Knoxville received $$4.32 million from the HUD grant. Another $$2.5 million came from a Consortium of partners which includes non-profits. (As an aside, our Knoxville Utilities Board, KUB, received a $$3.6 million grant from DOE, Department of Energy, to install smart meters.) The Architectural firm, Wallace, Roberts, and Todd, (WRT), headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the Plan ET partner chosen to head the forums. They were paid $$1.7 million to accomplish the pre-determined outcome of these forums through facilitation of the Delphi Technique. The Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), another unelected commission, has $$1,591,000 of the HUD/Plan ET monies in their account as of June 14, 2012. Another $$100,000 was given to the MPC for the costs of the forum locations and refreshments. This leaves approximately $$3.4 million, which we surmise is in the City of Knoxville's coffers, since they are the ones who applied for the grant. Our Governor has proven he is an EPA, Agenda 21 proponent, not only by allowing the application for the Smart Growth grant from HUD, but by his actions since becoming governor. Governor Haslam has also refused to sign a resolution against Agenda 21, even though a Resolution has absolutely no binding power of law. [Link] In my previous article, Mind Control and Smart Growth, I explained that Knoxville is also a dues paying member of ICLEI since 2007. From Tom DeWeese's article, Agenda 21 in One Easy Lesson, " ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability (formally, International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives). Communities pay ICLEI dues to provide “local” community plans, software, training, etc. Additional groups include American Planning Association, The Renaissance Planning Group, International City/ County Management Group, aided by US Mayors Conference, National Governors Association, National League of Cities, National Association of County Administrators and many more private organizations and official government agencies. The Foundation and government grants drive the process." On Thursday, March 21st, 2013, three of us attended a meeting of the Farragut City Council. About 20 people were in the audience at this meeting. The 2010 Census recorded 20,689 population for Farragut, which is part of Knox County. Knox County is the largest of the five counties in Plan ET Smart Growth with a population of nearly 500,000. Total population in the five county "region" of Plan ET is 700,000. Obviously, very few people in the area go to their council or commission meetings, and this is where the damage is done to our freedoms. The first person that spoke was Matt Barney, the developer of 52 acres, and he kept expounding on the Green Spaces they were developing, with fruit trees and gardens. He stated his whole development was a "green community." According to the zoning laws of the Town of Farragut, 35% of any development now has to be given over to green space. For this developer, that means 17.74 acres of this 52 acre development. It was originally 96 home sites, but was reworked to be 49 home sites for more "green space." So, developers in the Town of Farragut must give up more than one-third of their property for "green space" rather than building homes on all of the property they've purchased. How would you like to buy a piece of land you intend to use, but then be told by the local politicians that more than one-third of that land cannot be used for the purpose you desire. Just a little fascism sprinkled in for enjoyment. Check out Farragut's Planning Division. The Division has their own Vision 2025 Smart Growth project, and they've already implemented bike lanes in their community. They even have a Code Enforcement Division that reviews all commercial, office, and residential construction plans, grants permits and sets fees, does inspections and licensing and fees for plumbing/gas and mechanical contractors. None of this sounds onerous. However, once Smart Growth is part of the City's plan, all of this can become draconian in nature. It is happening via zoning and codes by these council and commission members. Remember, this is a very small community of 21,000 people. Yet, here is Smart Growth, which is in nearly every small town and city in the country. After the council meeting, there were perhaps a dozen people left. A presentation by the Knoxville Metropolitan Planning Commission regarding Plan ET was scheduled for the council members. Three of the ten members left, so the presentation was given to the seven who were left. Jeff Welch, Knoxville's Regional Transportation Planning Organization Director, was there along with Metropolitan Planning Commission's, GIS (Geographical Information Services) manager, Tim Kuhn, to present the results of the Plan ET Smart Growth project thus far. (GIS is the mapping of all the counties' properties.)Tim Kuhn actually used the Delphi Technique on the Town Council members, just as was done at the Plan ET Forums we attended in 2012. The council members were asked questions about the community, but were provided only multiple choice answers from which to choose. This was to decide what was important to them for their community and how it should "grow" in the next 30 years. Most of the people on the council will not even be here in 30 years. During his presentation, Tim Kuhn made the statement that 500 people in this five county "region" had given their "input" at the two series of Plan ET forums regarding what was important to them for their communities in the next 28 years. So, from a population of 700,000 people, 500 people are deciding our future, without an election, by unelected members of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, and the architectural firm, skilled in the Delphi Technique, (video) who was hired to help them with the predetermined outcome. [Link] At the 2012 series forums, where the "public" was invited, the majority of those present were local government employees who had a vested interest in seeing these Smart Growth plans accomplished. If those of us against UN Agenda 21 Smart Growth had not attended the forums, the only people giving "community input" would be the invited government shills. Since they have a vested interest in Smart Growth they shouldn't have even been voting at these Delphi meetings as it is a conflict of interest! At one meeting, one of the invitees admitted she was a paid participant. Of course! They were all paid to go because they worked for the city, the county, the university, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, etc. The Farragut Council was then told the results, all of which were scripted for their pre-determined outcome via their use of Rand Corporation's mind-control Delphi Technique. RAND developed the Delphi method in the 1950s for the U.S. Department of Defense. It was originally intended for use as a psychological weapon during the cold war. Remember, these people from the MPC and Wallace, Roberts, and Todd, also went into schools and used this same "exercise" on children who are not taxpayers! Kuhn stated the community challenges were, lack of good jobs, highways and side roads needing repair, more public transportation, empty commercial buildings, improved education, protection of natural resources, and drug abuse problems. He asked the Council members to rate these problems in how the region responds to same. Kuhn stated the desire was to get people closer to their jobs, more transportation and transit services, more housing for the elderly in urban areas, and to contain "sprawl." Instead of population expanding further out in rural communities, he suggested their "results" from the forums stated this needs to be changed. The entire meeting continued with how the "region" would grow in the next 30 years. Kuhn then discussed the different "regional growth" concepts and went through several different scenarios. He said this is "how we'll grow and what the range of alternatives will be." He explained that these concepts came from the 500 people questioned in the Plan ET forums and then repeated almost word for word what is on the Plan ET website. 1. The first "Trend concept" is "Business as Usual" - the way East Tennessee been growing for the last 30 years. Kuhn states this is a "kind of grow out" in suburban areas pattern, following major roads, mostly suburban apartments and suburban single family home neighborhoods, and private vehicles are needed. 2. The "Spread Out" or "Grow Everywhere" pattern - closer to nature, more rural, embraces that growth can occur everywhere in the "region." Growth occurs mainly in suburban and rural areas, with minimal growth in the region’s cities and towns. New development is car-friendly and grows primarily into undeveloped areas. New homes are largely developed in suburban neighborhoods and on rural lots that were once farmland and open space. 3. Corridors - growing along the regions highways, interstates, and major roads, in more of a linear form, keeping employment in the same areas as shopping, and outside of these areas is suburban housing, different types of subdivisions, and apartments. 4. Centers Concept - The centers concept focuses on growing the region's cities and towns, as well as creating identity in today's suburban places by redeveloping aging commercial areas with both businesses, homes and adjacent neighborhoods that are a short walk or bike ride away. Regional transit connects the centers and local transit is improved. 5. Cities and Towns Concept - Literally using the cities and towns in the regions where most of the growth would occur in a reinvestment and redevelopment of the cities and towns. Using some of the corridor concept to have more compact shopping, employment, neighborhood development, and other forms of housing which is smaller and within closer proximity to business/shopping/etc. Also bigger investments in local transit with high frequency transit moving throughout the most populace parts of the region. Creating an environment that is supportive of a variety of ways of getting around (car, bike, walk and transit). All the above scenarios sound pretty innocuous, don't they? The final plans however, intend the elimination of private vehicles and travel to be only by local transit, bike, or your feet, and you will live in high density housing. How do they accomplish these goals? Zoning, annexation (Babelay Farm in Knoxville), codes, taxes, etc. ad nauseam, are all accomplished through your local county commission, and city or town councils. The local planning commission people are unelected...they are appointed. In Knoxville, the City appoints seven members and the County appoints 8 members to the Metropolitan Planning Commission. We cannot get rid of them because they are not elected! The propaganda campaign to keep us in the dark starts with the American Planning Association (APA). From page 34, of APA's, "The Planning Commissioner's Guide," A number of communities across the country have integrated sustainability into their Comprehensive Plans. Examples include: • Fort Collins, Colorado: Plan Fort Collins • Boise, Idaho: Blueprint Boise • Austin, Texas: Imagine Austin • Keene, New Hampshire: 2010 Comprehensive Plan • Marin County, California: Countywide Plan • Albany, New York: 2030 Plan • Burlington, Vermont: Legacy Plan Here are some links to Smart Growth high density housing, Issaquah, WA; Pasadena, CA; High Density housing developed by the Puget Sound Cottage Housing Development Zoning Ordinance; Harrison, NJ; Del Mar, CA; Pasadena, CA; and dozens more.

Kelleigh Nelson -- The Heartless Bureaucracy

THE HEARTLESS BUREAUCRACY By Kelleigh Nelson May 7, 2013 NewsWithViews.com If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. —Bill Clinton in an August 12, 1993 speech. And what my constitutional values are are wholly irrelevant to the job, and so neither you nor anyone else will know what they are. —Elena Kagan For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him. —Karl Marx “We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.” —Katherine Graham, Publisher of the Washington Post, in a speech to CIA recruits, 1988 In Marx's statement above, the key word is manipulated. The Constitution loving American public has been manipulated and marginalized. (We have been relegated to an unimportant or powerless position within society). Let me explain, and give a few examples. Example 1 Writing letters to your congress criminals nearly always results in a form letter non-answer. Here is the typical canned response I constantly receive from Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee: Thank you for taking the time to email me to share your thoughts and concerns. I want you to know that we read every single letter and e-mail that is sent to us in order to best understand the issues that are important to you. It is our commitment to respond to your input as thoughtfully and efficiently as possible. I meet with my staff regularly to discuss the issues raised in correspondence like yours and will be back in touch with a more thorough response soon. Thank you again for your email. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me. I rarely receive the more thorough responses from him and even if he writes again, he never answers the question of where he stands on the issue. This is marginalization! Example 2 Have you ever attended your county commission meetings or city council meetings? If so, you know they'll often give those in attendance an opportunity to speak on a particular subject that is up for a vote by the commission. Last year I attended an important meeting on the county budget proposed by our county Mayor, Tim Burchett. The School Superintendent, Eli Broad graduate from Boston, James McIntyre (See my two part article, The Deliberate Destruction of Education in Tennessee) was again asking for $$35 million more for the schools. They already receive 62% of the yearly budget. Forty-five people were there to speak and instead of the normal five minutes allotted, we were all given only 3 minutes. I watched from the audience prior to getting up to give my little speech for the Mayor's budget, and the majority of the commissioners were looking at their computers or their phones. Only a few paid attention. The following day a picture of the proceedings appeared in the Knoxville Metro pulse, and was taken from behind the commissioners looking out into the audience. You could see many of the commissioners were busy on their computers. Oh, and by the way, the newspaper called me a conspiracy theorist because I spoke the truth about what is being done to our children through government education. We were not important. What we were saying was not important. Their minds were already made up. This is marginalization! Example 3 Two years ago we fought what is called Knoxville/Knox County Hillside/Ridgetop Plan. This is Smart Growth from Agenda 21. See my two part article, Planning Commissions, Smart Growth, and Land Use. This plan lays vast restrictions on development in both the City and County of Knoxville. The plan proposed a Hillside and Ridge top Protection Area made up of property across the county of at least five acres in size and a grade of 15 percent or greater. (It would also include flatter property on ridge tops.) But the National Green average grade is 22 percent or greater, yet the Task Force has gone even lower! Here are the progressive maps showing the evolution of the HS/RT Protection Plan and affected land. The first map is a 40% slope on ridge tops only, the second is a map showing a 30% or greater slope, and the third map shows a 15% or greater slope. For an area like ours, this plan almost totally restricts development in the County. Also, check out the maps on the website of the Hillside/Ridgetop Protection Plan! So, of course the Knox County Commission had several meetings where this plan was discussed over several years, and those of us who are wise to Smart Growth attended. When it came down to a vote with an amendment attached that would make the plan advisory only, the audience was packed. Yet the Knoxville/Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission (unelected council) is fully implementing this entire plan. Under "goals" in the Growth Plan on the MPC website, is this statement, "Encourage a pattern of compact and contiguous development to be guided into urban areas and planned growth areas ." That, my friends, is Smart Growth! Needless to say, there were countless adversaries of this plan within the audience at these County Commission meetings. The rudeness of many of the Commissioners was quite evident. They even were whispering amongst themselves while citizens were speaking to them from the podium. This isn't just being uncouth folks, this is marginalization! Example 4 How many functions have you attended where you have been told you may ask questions of the speaker or the group? I've been to several and came fully prepared every time with my questions. There is no attendant with the microphone going through the audience to those with questions. Instead, you write your questions down on a 3 x 5 card and give them to the attendants to carry to the front and ask of the guests. Of course, your entire question is totally changed. Let me give you a recent example. Here are the four women who knew the truth and went to hear Education Czar Arne Duncan speak at the University of Tennessee, Kathleen Marquardt, Karen Bracken, Kelleigh Nelson, and Sally Absher. Yesterday, April 3, 2013, several friends and I attended the speech given my Obama's education Czar, Arne Duncan at the University of Tennessee. Here is the question I wrote down on the 3 x 5 card: How can private schools remain independent once they have accepted federal funding through vouchers/choice? The law reads: In March, 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that private schools are subject to government regulations because they enroll students who receive tuition money from the government. Even though the checks are payable to individual students, not the school, the Court says any scholarships, loans, or grants to students "constitute federal financial assistance." And (11)Continuing in the same direction, on January 28, 1988, the U.S. Senate (July 9, 1990). Here is the question they asked Secretary Arne Duncan from my question: Secretary Duncan, what do you think of vouchers? This, my friends, is purposeful and programmed marginalization! In another situation, when we attended all the Plan ET Smart Growth forums held last year in the five county "region," we were not allowed to ask questions, because we were told it would disrupt the flow of the program. If we did raise our hands to ask a question during a presentation, we were told the questions would be answered later out in the hall away from the program. That was marginalization! Here is a Knoxville teacher with a great protest sign at Secretary Arne Duncan's speech at the University of Tennessee. Conclusion Marginalizing the informed electorate is the way they inhibit any influence we have on our elected officials. We no longer count. These elected officials and politicians are no longer servants of the electorate. They have an agenda and their marching orders. The majority of the public is unaware of what is happening in their county commission meetings, town and city council meetings, and their local and state governments. And most citizens don't care. This is evident by the few letters or phone calls these "servants" receive. It is also quite evident by the number of people who attend these meetings. As I explained in my recent article, Smart Growth and Stealth Zoning, in a town of over 20,000 citizens, only about 20 people attended a very important council meeting. In a five county "region" of all the Plan ET Smart Growth forums, only about 100 knowledgeable people attended all seven of the Series Two meetings. Our combined population is 700,000. No one really cares, no one pays attention, no one has time. Is it any wonder these elected and appointed officials feel they can easily marginalize us? We have been relegated to an unimportant or powerless position in society. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: What can we do about it? We have to find our backbones and chutzpah! And if we don't, we will continue to lose, and then we might as well join the ranks of the brain dead watching Dancing with the Stars and Survivor. Do not let them tell you what you can and can't do. Don't be cowed by their rules. We are their bosses. Do not let them make the rules for us! I know you will risk being ejected by police from these meetings. I know you'll risk embarrassment and confrontation from others. I know it's difficult to be the one who creates a "scene." But we can do it! Where two or more are gathered in agreement, there is power. When one raises their hand and stands and says, "I want to ask a question without filling out a 3 x 5 card," another has to stand and do the same thing, and then another, and another, and another. Where the hell is the courage, bravery, and backbone of America that made this country great? Act together, decide your attack, above all, pray without ceasing...do it now...or forever be marginalized and powerless. © 2013 Kelleigh Nelson - All Rights Reserved Kelleigh Nelson has been researching the Christian right and their connections to the left, the new age, and cults since 1975.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Are You Proud to be an American?

ARE YOU PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN? By Kelleigh Nelson May 14, 2013 NewsWithViews.com America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation. —Laurence J. Peter America is good, but the government is America’s biggest problem. ...a "land of the free" that struggles under the incredible burden of limitless taxes and laws; the home of the "brave" who stay silent to keep their jobs and avoid scrutiny by the IRS or the police. —Fred Woodworth, The Match!, No. 74 My friend Robin called me the other day and out of the blue, asked me a pointed question. She said, "Are you proud to be an American?" At first I thought, "As opposed to what?" The question took me back to the days where I could say, "Hell yes, I'm proud to be an American!" First, let's clarify. I'm proud of our heritage and true Americans. The satanic slime bag elitists and politicians that have destroyed this country are not what make a true American. A true American is all sizes, colors, and shapes, many religions, generous to a fault, open arms for those less fortunate, a melting pot of all peoples who come together in one American culture, hard working, believing in the American dream, and the freedoms in our country's founding documents, and knowing you live in the greatest country in the world, founded by Godly men. Real America is this and more and is what true Americans are proud to be. A better question to have asked would be, "Are you proud of our American government today?" I thought of my grandparents, and their dairy farm in northern Indiana, and the summers and holidays I spent with them. I thought about milking cows, feeding the pigs, collecting the eggs, plowing the fields and riding the tractor with grandpa while he spread manure and planted fields. I thought about canning everything grandma grew in her garden and picked off her trees. I thought about the sweet melons my grandpa grew, and the delicious sweet corn. I thought of the LaPorte, Indiana County Fair I went to every year with my grandparents, and the blue ribbons my family members won. I thought of driving the tractor while grandpa and my uncles picked up bales of hay and straw, and earning 10 cents a wagon load which gave me money to spend at the fair in late summer. I thought of the fourth of July fireworks and how excited we were every year and the trip to the fairgrounds to watch them. I thought about church with grandma and grandpa in the country. I remember my grandma pulling out her hatpin and telling me to poke grandpa with it because he'd fallen asleep in church. (I didn't do it, and she was only kidding). I remember all the beautiful old hymns we sung, and I can still sing from memory today. I remember walking to church in Chicago with mom through our lovely city neighborhood of Rogers Park. I thought of how hard my momma worked as a single parent, and of the times she fed me dinner and didn't eat anything herself. She would tell me she wasn't hungry, and until I grew up, I didn't realize there hadn't been enough food for us both. I thought of the excellent Chicago education I received in the 1950s, and how every morning we stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. I thought of how we bowed our heads and prayed in school. I thought about the wonderful neighborhood of beautiful apartment buildings where we lived. I thought of my first bicycle I'd gotten with my saved allowance of 50 cents a week. (I still have that very bike). I thought of high school in Park Ridge, Illinois, and the wonderful education I got at Maine Township High School East from 1960 to 1964. I even thought about the fact that Hillary Rodham was a year behind me in high school and was a staunch conservative. A million other delicious and delightful and beautiful nostalgic memories raced through my thoughts before I answered my friend and said, "No, today I am not proud to be an American," but I was thinking only of what my government had become. I almost choked up before I answered her because the America I was grew up knowing, the America I was raised to love, the America that was that shining bastion of freedom for immigrants from all over the world, that America no longer exists. Do you remember the songs we sang and knew by heart in our amazing country? There are many more than I'm listing here, but how often do we hear these songs anymore? America the Beautiful... "O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!" America... "My country, 'tis of Thee, sweet land of Liberty, of thee I sing; Land where my father's died, land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountain side, let Freedom ring." Battle Hymn of the Republic (yes, we were a Republic, not a Democracy)... "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on." God Bless America, written by Irving Berlin and memorialized by wonderful Kate Smith. I can still see her singing this wonderful song... "God bless America, Land that I love, stand beside her and guide her thru the night with a light from above; from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home, sweet home. God bless America, my home, sweet home." The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Keyes 1814... "Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" The words of those songs spoke what we were and why we existed as a land blessed by God. I miss what we once were, land of the free, truly free, home of the brave, where the "Greatest Generation" saved us from a conquering madman in Germany and a despotic enemy in the Pacific. I know the evil in America goes way back, we can look at 1913 and the Federal Reserve Act which was passed two days before Christmas, or 1913 and the Federal Income Tax, both thanks to Woodrow Wilson. Terrible laws didn't just start in the 1900s. The desire to destroy freedom started almost from the very inception of our 1787 Constitution. In 1973, America decided to allow the murder of our unborn babies. Today, 60 million American babies have died at the hands of their own mothers, and doctors who swore in the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. About this same time, the Euthanasia Society of America sneaked in "quality-of-life" arguments to starve and dehydrate the elderly who were terminal or had Alzheimer's Disease. Now we can terminally sedate these elderly patients, and even assist with suicide if you live in Oregon. The sanctity-of-life which once permeated America has been slowly changed to a culture-of-death. For decade upon decade, we have had dozens of horrible supreme court decisions. Aside from Roe vs. Wade, two other outrageous and unconstitutional decisions were in our recent past. One was New York Times vs. Sullivan, and the other was Kelo vs. the City of New London eminent domain decision. Then there's the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, and the draconian and invasive USA Patriot Act, which does not expire again until June of 2015. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) gives the government the ability to detain American citizens indefinitely suspending Habeas Corpus. The unconstitutional TARP Bailout, the communist appointed Czars in Obama's administration, the new fascism of government owned American businesses, the destruction of our once wonderful health care system, the communist redistribution of wealth, the appointment of unqualified supreme court justices, the taxing of everything in America, and on and on, all of which are implemented to destroy our liberty and freedom. The total destruction of American life via the United Nations Agenda 21 has been signed onto by every US president since George H.W. Bush, and goes back as far as the 1930s. Barack Hussein Obama has even signed executive orders on same. [Link] The restructuring of our entire educational system from academic teaching to Direct Instruction Skinnerian dog training for the global workforce is complete. Read any of Charlotte Iserbyt's articles or go to her website where her 1999 book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America is online for anyone's perusal and with an index. Every president since before Lincoln has had the ability to use executive orders, but they were to be for administrative purposes. Now these presidents use executive decrees in situations where they've failed to achieve a legislative objective. [Link] This is a dictatorship! Is there an elected state or federal official of either party who has fully obeyed their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution? We know what the left is, they tell us clearly what they want to do. The Republicans however, have been holding the door open for the left for eons, and people still believe voting Republican will save us. They forget that, "A false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy." There are hundreds of thousands of other unconstitutional laws on the books. Today most people worry if they'll have their jobs, their health insurance, enough money to pay the mortgage and the car payment, the ability to properly educate their children, to buy groceries, and pay the monthly bills, much less take a vacation or buy a new home, or be able to retire. There is always the fear of higher real estate taxes, higher gasoline prices, higher electricity/natural gas prices, higher everything...and we're told by the elitists and talking heads in the MSM that there is no inflation. They obviously don't visit the grocery or gas stations every week like we do. Our once amazing country now has a bloated and dictatorial government which ignores the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We are now a communist country. In the 1963 Congressional record, the current communist goals were read into the record by Congressman A. S. Herlong. There are very few of them which are not completed. Am I proud to be an American today? I feel the opposite of Michelle Obama, I am now ashamed of my country for twice electing someone considered a Marxist Muslim by true old-right conservatives. I am ashamed of my president bowing to Saudi and Japanese leaders. I am ashamed of the lack of protocol, common decency, and manners by this president. I am ashamed of his return of the bust of Winston Churchill to Great Britain. I am ashamed of Obama's treatment of Israel, our only friend in the middle east. I am ashamed that the world looks at us with scorn and derision. But it's not just this president, it is more than two dozen presidents prior to the present one, who have nearly all disobeyed their oaths of office and destroyed the freedoms God blessed us with in America. We have not been vigilant. Don't bother writing to me about Ronald Reagan because he followed the elitists' orders just like the rest of them. Am I proud to be an American today? On Decoration Day (now Memorial Day) when we decorate the graves of those soldiers who fought for our freedoms and our ancestors who have passed on, I weep at what we've lost. I'm ashamed we have let it slip away. Am I proud to be an American today? On July 4th we no longer place our flag in the holder to wave proudly over our home. Why? Because she has been disgraced by our leaders who have allowed what she stood for to be trampled. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!

Finicum Shooter Protection Bill Points to Wider Issue of Government Distrust

Finicum Shooter Protection Bill Points to Wider Issue of Government Distrust 0 by David Codrea February 15, 2016 “State Rep. Jeff Barker has introduced a bill that would temporarily delay the release of the name of the officer who shot [LaVoy] Finicum,” KOIN 6 News reported Sunday. “House Bill 4087 already unanimously passed the Oregon House Judiciary Committee.” The bill, which will allow law enforcement to petition a judge for a 90-day stay on releasing the name of an officer, was introduced after the Oregon State Police said it had “received death threats from all over the U.S.” Barker, a Democrat, said he took the action after being convinced by OSP Superintendent Rich Evans that ‘there is a real safety concern.” Perhaps. But if that’s the case, it’s fair to ask if there are alternatives in terms of investigation and protective custody options that would make it unnecessary to suppress information that’s in the public interest to know. Plus, how do we know the “threats” are even real and not coming from provocateurs or other interested parties? We know that the powers that be are desperately trying to bolster a false, government-started narrative that “rightwing extremists are a greater threat than ISIS.” And if you want to see violent death wishes leveled with promiscuous abandon, just look at comments on ”progressive” websites ginning up the mob against the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupiers. Plus, let’s not forget the only killing so far was committed by an agent of the state. So it’s hardly out of line to wonder if we’re being told everything about the alleged “threats,” or to expect those bringing us the news of Barker’s bill to assign some investigative reporters. After all, being watchdogs on behalf of liberty is supposedly a duty of a free press. But outrageously, establishment media in too many cases willingly wears the collar of lapdogs. It’s a tricky enough question without all the causes for doubt. What rises to the level of a threat that will trigger such an order, and how will that impact investigations into and disclosures about relevant past conduct and disciplinary issues regarding the involved officer? Why shouldn’t this be regarded as government circling the wagons? Assessing the politician behind the bill is tricky as well. Barker is a retired police officer who has been “rated 100%by the National Rifle Association.” That said, Obama for America included him in its “Support from Oregonians” list, and NRA has characterized Obama as “the most anti-gun president in history.” So either NRA is being bipolar, or giving aid and comfort to the enemy is not something they want their members to consider when heeding their political ratings. In any case, trust, as far as OSP’s and FBI’s handling of the Finicum killing, is, no pun intended, shot as far as the Patriot community is concerned. That said, everyone who considers himself an Oath Keeper does not do so, as the collectivists lie, because they are “anti-government,” but because of fidelity to the Constitution. As much as some are convinced the soundless aerial footage of Finicum’s death is all the evidence they need to convict those involved of murder, our system of justice requires a jury trial, a presumption of innocence, the burden of proof on the prosecution, and a conviction of guilt only when it is beyond a reasonable doubt. Finicum never received any of those things, some will no doubt argue back. Assume for a moment that some of the threats precipitating Barker’s bill are real, and further that they’re credible. That means those making them are convinced that action outside the Constitution, with no checks and balances outside of force they bring to bear, is acceptable. Just remember, the Constitution was established first and foremost to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity. If those threatening to initiate force can take it on themselves to deny due process to anyone, then that’s who they’ll be able to do that to. I’d say a full-blown and very public investigation of the “threats” that convinced Barker to introduce his legislative band-aid in the first place is just as important, if not more so, than the bill itself. With all the reasons government has given us to distrust its actions and intentions, some of us are going to need a bit more than a cry of alarm from the Oregon State Police, and a knee-jerk “solution” from “progressive” Oregon politicians led by a supposedly “pro-gun” Obama supporter.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Senator Lamar Alexander: Neo-Con Trotskyite, Part 1

SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER: NEO-CON TROTSKYITE PART 1 By Kelleigh Nelson May 23, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "It is a known fact that the policies of the government today, whether Republican or Democrat are closer to the 1932 platform of the Communist Party than they are to either of their own party platforms in that critical year." —Walter Trohan (1903-2003) Chicago Tribune reporter (1929-1972) and bureau chief in Washington, D.C. Source: CHICAGO TRIBUNE, October 5, 1970, (Look at us 81 years later!) Senator Lamar Alexander has been a thorn in Tennessee's side since 1979. He is not a conservative Republican. In fact, truth be known, he has sided with Obama over 62% of the time. [Link] Right now he is acting as the bagman for his buddy, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, and his great desire to tax the internet and put more small businesses out-of-business. First though, let's look at Lamar's history. He has worked in the private sector for only short periods of time. Lamar was Born in Maryville, Tennessee, which is only 20 minutes from where I live. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and New York University School of Law. In 1967, Alexander joined the campaign of Howard Baker, who became the first Tennessee Republican elected to the Senate in four decades. Alexander then accompanied him to Washington. It was at a Hill staff softball game that he met his wife, Leslee "Honey" Buhler. She was working for Senator John Tower, the man instrumental in getting John McCain elected to the House. In the early years of their marriage, she raised their four children while doing volunteer work, specifically for Planned Parenthood. She was also a member of the board of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (NPR and PBS). Alexander worked as a legislative assistant to GOP sellout Senator Howard Baker, (Link). In 1982, for no apparent reason, but to go along and get along, then-Republican Senate MAJORITY Leader, and CFR member, Howard Baker, entered into an agreement with the Ku Klux Klansman from West Virginia, (Democrat Senator Robert Byrd). This agreement effectively barred Republicans from pursuing suspected cases of voter fraud without first getting a federal court’s approval. Thus, the reason why the GOP won't challenge vote fraud, and we saw plenty of it in 2012! Baker, who mentored Fred Thompson into politics in 1972, was also part of the “Panama Canal giveaway team” during the administration of President Jimmy Carter, another CFR member. Seems Lamar learned well from his position with Baker. Remember, Howard Baker's second wife is Nancy Kassebaum Baker who was instrumental in pushing a Constitutional Convention in the early 80s, which we fought and thankfully defeated. Kassebaum is a moderate-to-liberal Republican who is known for her health care legislation, the Kennedy-Kassebaum Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which was co-sponsored by Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, well known socialist democrat. U.S. Secretary for Education Czar, Arne Duncan, delivered the spring Baker Distinguished Lecture at the University of Tennessee last April, 2013. Fully twenty minutes of his speech was lauding Senator Howard Baker and Nancy Kassebaum, both of whom were in the audience. Here is the link to Duncan's speech, which I wrote about in The Heartless Bureaucracy. My friend, Karen Bracken, described this speech perfectly when she said, "Listening to Duncan speak about education reform was like having needles poked in my eyes." Lamar Alexander was also an assistant in the failed Nixon Administration in the late 1960s. In his first campaign for Governor of Tennessee in 1974, his opponent, Congressman Ray Blanton, used the Nixon Watergate scandal, and the President's ultimate resignation, to defeat Alexander. Because of Blanton's own scandals, he did not seek re-election, so in 1978, Alexander ran for governor again and defeated Knoxville Democrat Jake Butcher, (of banking scandal fame) serving as the 45th Governor of Tennessee from 1979 to 1987. In 1991, he was nominated by President George H. W. Bush to serve as Secretary of Education, from 1991 to 1993. Alexander ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 1996 and 2000. He defeated Democratic Congressman Bob Clement to replace outgoing Senator Fred Thompson in 2002, and won reelection in 2008. Alexander announced that he will run for reelection in 2014. Out of misguided local loyalty, the conservative voters in Tennessee have repeatedly elected homegrown globalists. Among them are prominent United States Senators, Howard Baker, Bill Frist, Fred Thompson, and of course Lamar Alexander. All four of those Republican senators from Tennessee were members of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations during their tenure in the United States Senate. [Link] Just what kind of Republican and politician is Lamar Alexander? I think most old-right conservative Tennesseans know, and there's even a petition circulating to get a true conservative challenger against Lamar in the 2014 election. Let's look at who is behind putting Lamar in office for the third time as Tennessee's senior senator. Senate Race 2014 Alexander announced that his co-chairs would be top statewide officials, Gov. Bill Haslam and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey. In addition, he said, his campaign co-chairs will be the junior senator from Tennessee, Bob Corker, the state speaker Beth Harwell and U.S. Reps. Marsha Blackburn, Chuck Fleischmann, Diane Black, Stephen Fincher and Phil Roe. Rep. Jimmy Duncan Jr., a 13-term congressman, will chair Alexander’s campaign. Everyone of these people have voting records that prove they are not old- right conservatives. John J. (Jimmy) Duncan is the illustrious congressman who has been called the new "Ron Paul. One has to wonder if author, Michael Collins, was on drugs when he wrote the article. Congressman John Duncan voted for Goals 2000, the proposal of which can be found in literature published by the United Nations. The World Conference on Education for All was held in Jomtien, Thailand, March 5-9, 1990, and is found on the UNESCO website. Representative Duncan also attended the recent speech by education czar, Arne Duncan, at the University of Tennessee. (no relation) In 1994, Jimmy Duncan voted for NAFTA, despite constituent phone calls 10 to 1 against. NAFTA was written by Heritage Foundation's Richard Allen, and has destroyed manufacturing jobs in America. [Link] I recently called Congressman Duncan's office and was told he will vote for the Internet Sales Tax being pushed by Governor Haslam and carried to the Senate by Alexander. Every single one of Lamar's political supporters are neo-con Trotskyites. One only has to look at the voting record of each to see where they stand, and they'll probably all do the bidding of Governor Haslam and vote to destroy small businesses. Haslam is urging every Tennessee congressperson to vote for the Market Fairness Act. I wonder what he's promising them for this vote. Internet Sales Tax Quite obviously, Lamar is playing bagman in the US Senate for Tennessee's Governor Haslam who, when he took office in 2010, swore to make his main objective an internet sales tax. [Link] He promised to call every other governor and have them push Congress to override the 1992 Supreme Court Quill ruling. In the ruling, states can collect sales tax on catalog sales only if the vender is physically located within their borders. The rationale was that it would be too complicated for catalog retailers to calculate the sales tax in each jurisdiction where they sell goods. The ruling was later applied to Internet retailers. But Haslam argues that computer software makes the thinking obsolete. As a small business owner myself, I know the work this would add to my business and it would require an increase in my prices to cover the cost, and my business is not done via costly computer software. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: On March 24, 2013, at 10:29 AM, the so-called Market Fairness Act passed in the Senate in the form of a second degree amendment by 75-24, with the support of 26 Republicans. This will send the message to Harry Reid that he has more than 60 votes to pass this as a standalone bill. In doing so, they have voted to grow government all over the country, hurt low-tax states, impose taxation without representation , (we fought a war over taxation without representation!) saddle small businesses with collecting taxes for 10,000 distinct tax jurisdictions, and adulterate the freest most successful entity known to man. Here are the 26 Republicans traitors. To top it off, PAC checks to many Republicans from large corporations have swayed their votes. To date, Lamar Alexander has received $$41,000 in PAC checks from supporters of the internet tax. Keep telling yourself there's a difference in the parties. Unless there is a huge outcry from the electorate (call your House reps now), thanks to Governor Haslam and his water boy, Lamar Alexander, we will end up with this new draconian and unconstitutional tax. [Link] Lamar and Education Like our Tennessee Governor Haslam, Lamar Alexander has been in bed with the left's agenda of destroying our children's education, and it started a long time ago. In Part 2, we'll look at Lamar's education reform ideas, ideas he's had for decades.

Kelleigh Nelson -- Senator Lamar Alexander: Neo-Con Trotskyite, Part 2

SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER: NEO-CON TROTSKYITE PART 2 By Kelleigh Nelson June 1, 2013 NewsWithViews.com "The portrait that emerges of this early Lamar looks an awful lot like that of his mentor Howard Baker -- centrist, non-ideological, and, as one Washington insider put it, 'quintessentially establishment.'" —Lisa Schiffren What Alexander Believes Former Tennessee Governor, and U. S. Secretary of Education, Lamar Alexander, wrote a number of autobiographical books. "Steps Along the Way: A Governor's Scrapbook," published in 1986, includes an interesting statement by Alexander. He said, "The book that changed my thinking the most during the last ten years was, 'A God Within,' by Rene' Dubos." (p.85). From Vol. 1, Number 1, Free World Research, Iowa Report, November 1992, comes the following information. Dubos' book is subtitled, "A positive approach to man's future as part of the natural world." An examination of its contents reveal that Lamar Alexander has been highly influenced by New Age environmentalism. For example, Dubos asserts, "The earth is literally our mother, not only because we depend on her for nurture and shelter, but even more because the human species has been shaped by her in the womb of evolution." (p 38) He further asserts that, "Our salvation depends upon our ability to create a religion of nature and substitute for magic suited to the needs and knowledge of modern man." (p. 41). Ahhh yes, he thinks pantheism is the answer! Dubos, in addition to referring to the earth as a "living organism" on page 43, also goes so far as to say this, "Both polytheism and monotheism are losing the ancient power in the modern world, and for this reason it is commonly assumed that present age is irreligious. But we may instead be moving to a higher level of religion." (p. 42). The fact that this book has so affected Lamar Alexander is noteworthy when one considers Dubos' view of science. "Science is at present evolving from the description of concrete objects and events to the study of relationships as observed in complex systems. We may be about to recapture an experience of harmony, as intimation of the divine, from our scientific knowledge of the process through which the earth became prepared for human life, and the mechanisms through which man relates to the universe as a whole. A truly ecological view of the world has religious overtones (p. 42-43). Dubos further states, "One of the worst demonic forces in technological civilization is the craving for growth , which is enhanced by countless institutional devices ranging from national prestige to real-estate promotion and other forms of commercial advertising." (p. 313) What a bunch of new age environmental commie gobbledygook! In other words, freedom and free enterprise is a "demonic force" that is killing the planet! Is it any wonder Alexander is contributing to the goals of UN Agenda 21, and is willing, among other things, to take 22,000 more acres of Tennessee land for Cherokee National Park?! Rene' Dubos, who sits on the Board of Planetary Citizens, clearly expounds an evolutionary view of the world that is congruent with the Planetary Citizens message, "The world is one, humanity is one, and our future together is one." (quoted in a May, 1988 letter written by Donald Keys, President). I guess we should all be holding hands and singing Kumbaya! For further documentation on this organization and its plans for a Luciferian new age religion for the new world order, see Constance Cumbey's superb book exposing the new age, "Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow." Apparently, such an evolutionary spiritual view of man, replete with constant denigrations of western civilization, have highly influenced the man who was at the helm of education in the United States. Is it any wonder, then, that western values, such as free enterprise and the value of human life, are on a collision course with eastern mysticism in the nation's classroom? As Tennessee's senior Senator, his beliefs have not changed. He is an environmentalist and is on board with UN Agenda 21. He is also behind everything Obama, Education Czar Arne Duncan, and their buddy Bill Ayers are marketing in education restructuring. The 1989 Governor's Conference Lamar Alexander laid out the plan to restructure education at the November 2, 1989 Governors Conference on Education in Wichita, Kansas. [Link] The Conference title was "Schools, Goals and the 1990s." As George H.W Bush's Secretary of Education, he implemented education restructuring with the long range goals from America 2000, which specified creation of the New American Schools Development Corporation (NASDC). And guess what? Rand Corporation, the developer of that nasty Delphi Technique, was invited to assess Phase 2 of the NASDC. NASDC is the private, non-profit corporation set up by American business leaders at the request of President Bush to develop a new generation of American schools by contracting with and supporting the most promising "break the mold," "start from scratch," curricula design teams. Even though NASDC is non-profit, the eleven winning design teams are "for profit." NASDC's goal is education restructuring from academic teaching to Skinnerian/Pavlovian training of our children for the global workforce. (See Charlotte Iserbyt's Back to Basic's Reform or OBE Skinnerian International Curriculum.) President Ronald Reagan's education agreements with the Soviet Union in 1985 and 1988, (agreements which are still in effect), as well as his setting up a Task Force on Private Sector Initiatives in the White House, basically started the ball rolling for public-private partnerships (corporate fascism) which are at the heart of the Carnegie Corporation/Mark Tucker/NASDC's school-to-work agenda. Link-page 161 Senator Lamar Alexander, good friend of Tennessee Governor Haslam, is a long time proponent of privatization. Alexander doesn't want just pre-K schools, he wants the babies the minute they're born and here's how he said he'd do it. "The private sector is charging ahead, helping clear the way for reform. One of the ways privatization can 'clear the way' is by avoiding the accountability due elected officials." Sure, there are no elected officials. Dr. Hamburg, chief negotiator for the Soviet exchange admitted, "privately endowed foundations can operate in areas government may prefer to avoid." By getting rid of elected officials! At the 1989, Governors' Conference, led by former Governor Bill Clinton, Lamar Alexander stated, " I would go down to the maternity ward of the local hospital, or whatever you call the part of the hospital where the nurses are who are there when the babies are born. Find out how many babies are born out of wedlock, how many babies are born with single parents. Just so you know that! I would think the Brand New American School would be year-round, open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A second characteristic might be that these schools will serve children from age 3 months old to age 18. That may be a shocking thought to you; but, if you were to do an inventory of every baby in your community and think about what the needs of those babies were for the next four or five years, you might see that those needs might not be served any other way. They have to be served in some way and maybe around the school. Or, if you study a little more, you might go back and think the school might have to serve the pregnant mother of the baby in terms of prenatal healthcare...." Knowing what Lamar's beliefs are, he was in good company with fellow new age believer, Dr. Shirley McCune. She is the former senior director of the federally funded Mid-Continent Regional Educational Laboratory, and an expert in school restructuring. She appeared with former Secretary of Education, Lamar Alexander, at this Governor’s Summit on education reform as the keynote speaker. She said, “What we are into is a total restructuring of the society , what this amounts to is a total transformation of our society . The whole ball game in this particular change society is that there are only two things that really matter. One of those is the information capital we can put together and our ability to use information to produce products and ideas and new information, and secondly, to produce Human Capital …we have to prepare students not for today’s society but for a society that’s 20, 30, 40, 50, years down the road.” [Link] "Produce Human Capital" means our children are an owned commodity to be used by the elite in the global workforce. Wall Street Journal's, article of June 6, 2011 entitled, "Industry Puts Heat on Schools to Teach Skills Employers Need," is School-to-Work! Part of McCune's message affirmed the need to trade fact for feeling, "We no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary function of education," she announced to the governors. At Mid-Continent, under her guidance, she pioneered the development of psycho-social curricula for changing a child's values, including death education . Few realized then, that Dr. McCune was being tutored by her spirit guides. As co-author of a strange book called, "The Light Shall Set You Free," she quotes her demonic mentor, Kuthumi, who introduces himself as a "World Teacher" and "the spokesperson for enlightenment and education for the Galactic Command." In her 1996 book, "The Light Shall Set You Free," Shirley McCune stated, "Only the souls who are ready to receive the new curriculum will elect to raise their vibrations to match those required to enter the New Age ... Did you know that animals' souls are the souls of our future children? We are entering the Age of Aquarius ... the goal for all humanity who will enter the new millennium is to become androgynous ..." If the above quote makes shake your head, there's more... Shirley McCune as the former director of the Mid-Coast Regional Education Laboratory, trained thousands of Texas teachers and administrators. She's also been a research assistant at the globalist School-to-Work program at Arizona State University. And she's currently the administrative assistant to the superintendent of schools in the State of Washington. In a planning workshop in Millard, Nebraska, July 21, 1983 she presented a draft of planned changes. The following list identifies basic shifts which are part of this restructuring. We are to change from an industrial society to an information society, from a centralized society to a decentralized society, from a national economy to an integrated global economy, from economics of scale to appropriate scale, from representative democracy (we are a republic not a democracy) to issue politics, from party politics to a politics of the radical center, (which we have now), from business as usual to greater accountability. (But to whom? The government?) It certainly appears that Dr. Shirley McCune and Lamar Alexander have a lot in common with their new age thinking, especially in the realm of restructuring education. McCune is obviously a new age fruitcake, and Senator Alexander isn't far behind in his new age beliefs. Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts! Enter Your E-Mail Address: Remember Alexander's words from a 1990 Southern Living magazine article, "The conclusion I've come to," he explains, "is that rather than tinkering with the same old vehicle, it would be better to start from scratch. I suggest we create a brand-new American school, as different from today's schoolhouse as the telegraph was from the Pony Express. "Such a school," he continues, "would probably start with babies and go through the eighth grade. It would be all year long. It would be open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Every child would have his or her own computer and workstation. Every child would have a team of teachers that would stay with that child until graduation." This is total brainwashing of our children. Alexander does not even want the parents to instill any basic beliefs in the child before kindergarten. They want our children from cradle to grave, to indoctrinate them with their politically correct communist beliefs in order to make them nice little brainless "commodities" for the New World Order. The most shocking revelation with these facts is that these people are the hierarchy who are still in the business of "restructuring" and "reforming" education! They have already destroyed academic learning, and with it, generations of our children!
