1. And it came to pass that an angel appeared to Sara of Delano and said unto her, “Ye shall conceive a son and ye shall call him, Franklin. And he shall rule over the land and he will bring great joy to the people.”
2. And so it was during the dark days of the reign of Herbert of Hoover, that Franklin became the ruler of the land known as Columbia between the two Great Seas and the darkness was lifted from the land. And his reign lasted twelve years and one month and the people and scribes were joyous. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of Karl of Marx.
In 2004, the Israeli army began building a dummy Arab city in the Negev desert. It’s the size of a real city, with streets (all of them given names), mosques, public buildings and cars. Built at a cost of $45 million, this phantom city became a dummy Gaza in the winter of 2006, after Hizbullah fought Israel to a draw in the north, so that the IDF could prepare to fight a ‘better war’ against Hamas in the south.
When the Israeli Chief of General Staff Dan Halutz visited the site after the Lebanon war, he told the press that soldiers ‘were preparing for the scenario that will unfold in the dense neighbourhood of Gaza City’.
January 19, 2009 – While I do not trust the news media to tell me the truth about anything, I do often get ideas to write from the things I see and hear on their broadcasts. Therefore, the other night I was watching NBC Nightly News, and they were reporting on the historic arrival of Barack Obama into Washington D.C. for his inauguration.
Lester Holt was reporting on the train ride Barack Obama took as he made his way towards our nation’s capital.
January 19, 2009 – In case you have not noticed… Americans are arming themselves. Sales of those rifles the liberals like to refer to as “assault rifles” are so brisk, nationwide, that they are back-ordered for weeks and, in some cases, even months. (In the event you are unfamiliar with the term “Assault Rifle”… the common definition, by liberals and “gun-grabbers” of an assault rifle, is… a rifle that One: Looks scary” and Two: Holds more than five rounds!)
January 18, 2009 – As Israel unleashed its military fury against Lebanon for several weeks in July-August 2006, it had one major objective: to permanently ‘extract’ Hezbollah from the South as a fighting force, and to undermine it as a rising political movement, capable of disrupting, if not overshadowing the ‘friendly’ and ‘moderate’ political regime in Beirut.
As Israeli bombs fell, and with them hundreds of Lebanese civilians, and much of the country’s infrastructure, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sprung into action. She too had one major objective: to delay a ceasefire, which the rest of the international community, save the US and Britain, desperately demanded. Rice, who is merely, but faithfully reiterating the Bush Administration’s policy, hoped that the Israeli bombs would succeed in achieving what her government’s grand policies failed to achieve, namely a New Middle East.

January 17, 2009 - Economies around the world are crumbling before our eyes. People’s IRA, 401K, and other retirement accounts have lost 30 to 40% of their value of a few months ago. Home values continue to plummet with no end in sight while foreclosure rates are at a record high, leaving many people homeless. Additionally, many companies are falling by the wayside, some were thought to be American institutions and we thought they would always be around and could be counted on. The companies who have not yet closed up shop, are desperately trying to survive these times by laying off their once valued employees. City, county, and state governments are not fairing any better. Cutbacks, layoffs, and an unending array of proposed tax increases continue to take place across the nation. What the world is witnessing are the effects of people and whole nations which have lived their lives on perpetual debit, rather than a healthier pay as you go monetary policy. How are you fairing? Are you still holding toxic debit? Are you continuing to add to your toxic debt load? If you think you are debit free and in control of the debt in your life, you are likely to be surprised, in fact, you may not be as well off as you think you are.
January 17, 2009 – We elected a President we hardly knew. Barack Obama’s campaign team—and the mainstream press—told us only that we should feel “hopeful.”
Now we seem to be relying on this man to rebuild the U.S. economy almost from scratch. That’s highly unlikely. My former boss, Gary Seevers, was on Nixon’s Council of Economic Advisors, and before that a top official in Nixon’s wage-and-price-control effort. He told me that “neither the CEA nor government price-fixing ever had a chance to succeed. The economic data was too late and too weak, and the tools too flimsy.” Seevers ultimately put his faith in good incentives.
January 17, 2009 - What is with all this positioning of Barack Obama as the next Abraham Lincoln?
Obama began his campaign in Springfield, Illinois, famed home of Lincoln. He returns there periodically for other announcements, but he still vacations in Hawaii.
We’re told Obama read a book about how Lincoln put together his cabinet, including “rivals” which one must presume means Hillary Clinton. The rest of his cabinet is mostly Clinton retreads and, predictably, some have already run into confirmation problems.
Now we learn he will take a train ride into Washington, DC to emulate the way Abe arrived.
Maybe a large percentage of Americans are buying it, but we’re not. We’re not buying Obama’s “hope” and “change” for one minute. Just take a look at his “Clinton” redux cabinet, including one of the Clinton’s themselves. Some change! “Hope”? Hardly!
We’re not buying the unconstitutional financial, industry and homeowner bailouts for one second; we’re not buying amnesty, bilingual education, health care and safety net benefits for illegal aliens that break our laws; we’re not buying radical environmental laws that render constitutionally protected property rights non-existent, or lock up millions of acres of land for UN biospheres and wildlife corridors at the expense of all Americans but mostly private landowners; we’re not buying national health care that will seriously deteriorate health care in America and add to our national debt; we’re not buying proposed or ratified treaties that dilute, diminish or extinguish our sovereignty, (like the Law-of-the-Sea Treaty, or the North American Union), and we are certainly not buying the words of the traitors who promote the one-world-order, over American sovereignty.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan
