There is something called a "sin of omission". This is when there is a failure to speak up and act when something wrong is occurring. In the United States today many people are speaking up, and some are acting with attempts to prevent the disintegration of America that is happening right before our eyes. Yet still, many are not speaking up and acting, they are just letting it happen. This is a sin of omission.
The loss of our country, our democracy, and our freedoms are at stake. Leadership in Washington has driven our country onto the brink of bankruptcy and the out of control spending is occurring at an accelerated rate. Excessive power is being garnered at the federal government level, something warned about by our founders. Legislation with "sound good" titles are being stampeded through an irresponsible congress, much of it with stealth add ons and purpose. Through this, and intended soon to come legislation, the result will be even more excessive spending. Worse, this will result in the undermining of freedoms of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, our Constitution, and our very democracy. Even further it will create total dependency upon the federal government and control over every aspect of our lives.
Radical people, very radical people, are now in key positions in government. They have clearly and expressly stated that they want to do away with a free market system, change or do away with our Constitution, do away with democracy in favor of socialism or something even worse, and give up our sovereignty as a nation in favor of world organizations. Nods have already been given to the G-20 and the IMF to do away with the dollar as the standard of currency. There are even apologies given internationally for "being America". Our national defense is purposely being weakened, our borders are not being protected. There is talk, even more than talk, of American citizens being subject to a world court.
All of this is happening right before our eyes, daily at breakneck speed. We have one chance and one chance only and that is with our vote in the very next series of elections. It doesn't make any difference if you are a democrat, a republican, an independent, or whatever...you need to think American and act with your vote and act very critically. Failure to act with your vote will result in an America you do not recognize within 6 years. Not only will you not recognize our country, you and those you love will be living in an oppressive totalitarian state.
It is time to stop committing the sin of omission. It is time to speak up and act to save our country.

Media Control a Threat to America
Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director, is on record to have bragged that the Obama campaign controlled the media rather than allowing the press to determine the narrative. She went on to say "So it was very much we controlled it, as opposed to the press controlled it." .... But we increasingly by the general election very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control". This gave great insight into what to expect from the Obama administration.
It is now estimated that about 85% of all media is controlled by the White House. They are not satisfied and currently they are launching an all out attack on Fox News, talk radio, and even the Internet. It is not a question as to whether you like these venues or not, the issue is one of cutting off all potentially opposite or critical viewpoints. Obama FCC "Diversity’ Czar", Mark Lloyd. thinks the coup that put Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez in power was an "incredible, democratic revolution". He is quoted as saying, "It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. . . . This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. . . . At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies." He expressed admiration on how Hugo Chavez controls the media! This is a White House selected czar.
Obama’s new Federal Communications Commission chairman, Julius Genachowski, wants to "propose new rules that would prohibit Internet service providers from interfering with the free flow of information and certain applications over their networks". The Internet is a mass communications phenomenon that allows free ideas and freedom of speech to flow abundantly and has heretofore been allowed to exercise this freedom unchecked by the federal government.
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is a public agency (that means taxpayer funded) dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. Yet is clear that the NEA has been used as a propaganda source for the Obama campaign, as well as in support of White House policies. An Independent agency?
Propaganda is rampant throughout our education system from elementary school all the way through college. In some cases it has the appearance of classic indoctrination, not even subtle. Propaganda is being fed through all veins of the entertainment industry...television programs, movies, plays, and music.
With an announced strategy of control, followed by an attack on all avenues of media and communication, why isn't this being considered not only a major violation of the First Amendment, but an all out threat to our freedoms and democracy? Where is the media on all this? Where is journalism? Where is the critical review and questioning? Our democracy, any democracy, depends upon the media doing it's job for the good of the country.
A silent and / or complicit media is a betrayal to our country.

Devastating Financial Crisis Facing United States
Many Americans feel very uncomfortable with what is going in Washington. Massive debt with continued out of control spending, federal government over control, threats to our democracy and personal freedoms, questionable legislation being stampeded through Congress, corruption, ACORN, and more. Yet families and personal lives are continuing in a state of relative comfort, there does not appear to be a reason to panic quite yet. This is all about to change.
We are closing in on $12 trillion of debt, with a budget deficit this year alone of close to $1.8 trillion. Over the next 10 years it has been forecasted that we will incur another $9 trillion in debt and beyond. In recent secret deals with the G-20 and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) we are signing over control and the direction of our economy to them, as well as allowing them to discontinue the dollar as the world standard of currency. This will happen suddenly and shockingly before Americans have any say. The value of the dollar will decrease at an alarming rate.
In the very near future, as the dollar collapses and is no longer the standard of currency , when we stop to buy a $1 coffee we will find it will cost us $5. Filling up our gas tank that used to cost $30 will cost us $150. Home energy costs that are already expected to increase by $1600 per family will increase by $8,000. Our trip to the super market for food and other needs that usually ran about $125 a trip, will increase to $750. Everything will not only be significantly more expensive, but sky rocket in cost. This will be devastating to seniors and all people with a fixed income. Life savings that once seemed adequate will no longer be able to support people. Working people will find that their income will not keep pace with sky rocketing costs. There will be a retreat from consumer spending since people simply can't afford it. This will have the impact of further devastating the U.S. economy. Our country will become totally bankrupt and we will not be able to borrow our way out of it. Our own printed money will be valueless. Our country will be at the total mercy of the outside world, we will have no sovereignty.
Only then will people wake up. It will be too late.

Osama bin Laden is Dead
Osama bin Laden is dead and has been for some time. A person like him with such a huge ego, a leader of the terrorist organization, Al-Qaeda, would be putting out videos every 6 months if he were alive. Yet there have been none now for several years. Why? Occasionally there will be an audio tape released claiming to be from him but the circumstances around it and its' confirmation always seem to remain cloudy. If it were real, the FBI and CIA have technology that could identify him with voice frequency analysis that is 99.65% accurate. Yet they always claim they are "studying it" and seem never to make a concrete decision on its' validity.
Many years ago President Dwight Eisenhower warned the American people about the dangers and evils of the military / industrial complex. It is my belief that for some reason our government wants us to believe that Osama bin Laden is still alive, and that this lie also benefits Al-Qaeda. It is a situation like dogs chasing a fake rabbit at a dog race. We keep running after the "Osama rabbit" and this keeps the military / industrial complex flowing with hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money. Is this the real purpose of keeping him alive? This has nothing to do with either major political party, it is even bigger than that.
Osama bin Laden is dead. For those that claim he is alive...prove it! Let's see a video of him holding a current newspaper and discussing some of the key issues of today. This will never happen. American lives are being lost and hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to support the powerful military / industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us against.

Massachusetts in DEEP Trouble
Elected representatives in Washington and in Massachusetts have lost all rationality. In Massachusetts, a legislature with nearly 90% democrats is drunk with power. Taxpayers, citizens of the state, no longer have a say, in fact they are circumvented since those in power think that they know better than the people. Out of control spending and financial mismanagement are prevalent, led by a governor who doesn't have a clue. They get our state into a deep financial bind, then try to get out of it with silver bullets that only make things worse. Rather than attract legitimate business to our state and create jobs, short term thinking, non strategic, and failing approaches are used. Gambling is continually brought up as an apparent benefit, but those suggesting it fail to realize the longer term affects on the socio-economic condition of our state, where any apparent financial gains will be far offset by these negatives placing Massachusetts into an even deeper financial hole.
Raising taxes and fees, either directly or through stealth methods, again results with a net negative financial affect on our state. Where the short term, "apparent gain", thinkers fall short and fail to realize is that they are chasing business, taxpaying people, and shoppers out of state. In fact shoppers who used to come to Massachusetts are now on the decline. Headlines in local newspapers tell of a billion dollar shortfall over what was anticipated in income as if it were a surprise. No kidding! They didn't realize the consequences of their actions? Of course income would come down.
Unemployment is listed at 9.1%, but in reality it is much worse than that. If you look at non government jobs, those who have no other choice working part time, and those who have just given up looking for a job, I would venture to say that unemployment in Massachusetts is closer to 15%.
And now our legislature is going to look at a bill on slavery! SLAVERY? Yes, slavery was a bad thing but to look at such a bill now as a "key to any future discussion of apologies or reparation claims tied to slavery? Reparation claims, you must be kidding. Is this part of a self flagellation scheme to bring about some more of this socialistic distribution of wealth thinking? Those who are suggesting this and those who are considering it are just plain nuts in my opinion. Over 500,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War. Is that not reparation enough?
Voters in Massachusetts, as well as in America, need to wake up. Our state, our country, our democracy, and our very freedoms are at stake. We need to elect good people to represent us and do it with a sense of urgency.
