Unions Gone Wild - Obama 2nd Term

Union operatives, behind the scenes, are USING Wal-Mart employees and stirring them up in attempts to unionize their stores using false arguments. Yet Wal-Mart employs 1.4 million people in the United States, many of whom are minorities and handicapped, offers them reasonable pay and benefits, as well as upward mobility into management. A very large number in management have worked up through the ranks up in job status. Otherwise content employees are being stirred up and USED. What Wal-Mart offers to the public is a large variety of goods and food items at a significant discount, including excellent prices on such things as pharmaceutical items and eyewear. So what's the beef??

One of the false arguments (there are many) is that Wal-Mart sells items made in China. We've got news for those who make this accusation. Unfortunately, not only Wal-Mart, but nearly every store and every item we purchase in America today is made in China. This is a whole other issue, but it is NOT attributed to Wal-Mart.

Under the second Obama term, corrupt union bosses are being given a free reign in an attempt to take over all workers in America. During this second term you will witness "unions gone wild". What you will see is even stronger federal government control over ALL aspects of American life, a severe restriction on freedoms...combined with attempts of union control over all workers in our country. Centralized control over all people in a country is not democracy.

 

This is not an affront to the many good, hard working, union workers in our country...this is in reference to corrupt union leadership who do not have the best interests of workers of America in mind. They want power and control. Union employees should be equally as concerned as all Americans.

 

"We like to say: We use the power of persuasion first, If it doesn’t work, we try the persuasion of power.” ... "Because workers of the world unite, it’s not just a slogan anymore. It’s the way we’re going to have to do our work."  Andy Stern, former president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).


 

The Genesis of Romney Loss - A Sad Time for America

  

The really sad part is that anybody who knows Mitt Romney, or knows the real facts about him, knows that he is a decent, caring and a very capable man and leader. He has done all kinds of charitable acts in support of those in need. He has grown companies and created jobs. He is a good family man and has a strong faith in God. His background and experience were ideally suited to lead our nation, particularly at this time. He, nor our nation, deserve what was done to him.

He was lied about and demonized by the Obama administration with the full cooperation of many of the major media sources. They made things up and said things that they knew not to be true. Outright lies. They took a page from Saul Alinsky, in Rules for Radicals. "The ends justify the means".

Many people were fooled and followed like sheep in how they voted. This is a sad time for America. Our country will pay dearly for it and may never recover.

 

 

 

And Now...Reality Sets In

 

 

For the last 3 years the United States was "made to look good", by hype from the Obama administration on how much progress was being made, and a constant stream of media communication to the American people that did the same. Articles were purposely headlined to make things appear positive...the economy, jobs, the housing market, education, foreign policy, etc., you name it. Seldom did you pick up a newspaper without reading something positive that was happening, all attributed to President Obama and his administration. There was a barrage of propaganda constantly fed to the American people.

It worked, President Obama was reelected.

Now the 2012 elections are over and reality will set in. The real and inescapable truth is that the United States is in very deep trouble, on the verge of economic collapse. The numbers and facts speak for themselves. Enormous and rapidly growing national debt; huge unemployment and underemployment; an extremely large number of people on food stamps and in poverty; real inflation, what it cost to live by, much higher than reported; the middle class and seniors in a financial squeeze; mounting healthcare costs; billions of dollars of paper money being printed per month flooding the market, devaluing the dollar. The super inflation bubble is about to burst. Medicare and Social Security are headed toward bankruptcy in a few short years with no plan in place to do anything about it. There are a very large percentage of people who have been pushed into a state of financial dependency upon the federal government. The U.S. Postal Service and the National Park Service are both in financial trouble. There is more...much more.

The numbers are right there in front of us, they are inescapable. For the next 4 years and beyond, all of the hype in the world and propaganda are not going to erase the looming financial disaster that confronts our nation. We cannot continue to ignore the fact that all of these issues need to be addressed, and with a sense of urgency.

Reality is right here before us. Urgent action is needed by our federal government as we close out 2012, and enter 2013. Failure to do so will result in the sure financial collapse of our nation. Politicking is over.

 

 

 

2012 Elections

 

  

The 2012 elections show how much the American people have drifted from truth, reality, values, and our country's founding principles . Most importantly it shows how much the American people have drifted from God. Make no mistake about it, these next several years will become increasingly difficult for all of us, for our families, our country, and for the world.

Years ago, as a high school student, I remember finding a note in a book that I was reading that had the quotation: "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Unfortunately this quote from the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Galatians, voters in the 2012 elections will come to realize this to be true.

It is important for us going forward to keep our strong faith, to fight for and speak up what is right and for our country in the appropriate way, and to not get discouraged.

May God bless you, your families, and our country.

 

 

 

 

It IS Bush's Fault, But a Lot More

We all must of heard, at least a thousand times…“It’s Bush’s fault”. But the real facts show that it is BOTH the Republicans and the Democrats fault. We can start during the Clinton administration where he put the Community Reinvestment Act on steroids and put tremendous pressure on banks forcing them to offer home loans to people who obviously couldn’t afford them, creating a looming financial disaster. This continued throughout the Bush years without doing anything to head off the certain disaster.

Two individuals whose actions can be considered close to criminal were Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, and Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who headed oversight over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. They lied and covered up about the true dire financial condition of these two government sponsored financial institutions, both to Congress and the American people. It is on record and on video. In addition there was all kinds of corruption going on with executive salaries, bonuses, pay-offs, and more.

During the presidency of George W. Bush he spent money like it was going out of style. His response to 9/11 in attacking both the Taliban and Al-Qaeda who orchestrated an attack on America was appropriate. He should have focused on bringing Osama bin Laden to justice and did not. What would have been appropriate was swift military action in Afghanistan and then get out, NOT a long drawn out campaign. We should NOT have started a war in Iraq. Both of these long drawn out wars cost the United States thousands of American lives. They also drained the economy and took focus off from domestic issues that needed attention.

And then there is the wheeling, dealing, and corruption of some of the larger financial institutions in America. It is very complex on what they did, but suffice it to say that they also heavily contributed to the economic crisis in America. BOTH political parties had a hand in allowing this to happen, and in some cases even being involved in the process.

So when we hear, almost constantly, that it is “Bush’s fault”...well yes it is. But it is also the fault of BOTH political parties and certain key individuals and there is a lot of blame to go around.

 

 

 

In The Real World Obama Would Have Been Fired By Now

 

In the real world, in a turn around situation, when a new leader inherits a bad situation, the following should be done:

1) Take the high road and don't continually blame your predecessor. It will quickly get stale if you do, those who hired you who are looking forward to positive change. That is why they hired you!

 

2) Surround yourself with good competent people.

 

3) Within the first 6 months come up with a specific turn around plan and make it clear and visible to all concerned. Set realistic, yet needed, goals in order to accomplish the turn around.

 

4) Bring people together cooperatively, eliminate divisiveness. Continually communicate and have regular reviews of progress vs. the goals that were set.

 

5 At the end of the first year there should be some initial progress. Make course corrections if necessary.

 

6) At the end of the 2nd year substantial progress should be shown. Again, course correct as necessary.

 

7) At the end of the 3rd year you should be well on the way to a major positive turn around. Keep it going.

 

Obama has done none of the above. He has relied entirely upon hype, charm, and spin in attempting to try to make people believe that something positive has been done under his leadership. Yet the results speak for themselves. An objective media would have pointed this out. In the real world Obama would have been fired, probably not too long after the first year.


 

New Media Direction In America ?

The New Media Potential
What Could and Should Happen

 

We have seen the worst of the worst in media reporting prior to the 2012 elections in America. It is time for a change. The following will be done:

 

The sacredness of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution concerning “freedom of the press”, and its responsibility toward preserving our democracy will be reinforced.

 

We will visit colleges and universities throughout the country in order to found and install new schools of journalism, founded upon firm principles of true journalism, objective media reporting based upon truth and facts, full and unbiased coverage of all important news, and tenacious investigative reporting.

 

We will then found a new national newspaper called The American Free Press. This newspaper, in its’ charter, will clearly state that it will have NO allegiance to any political party, to any ideology, to any organization, nor to any person. As far as journalistic freedom, this will also disallow any undue pressure from any executive, manager, or editor of the newspaper.

 

We will then hire editors, reporters, journalists, and columnists, who as a condition of employment, must leave their own political, or ideological views “at the door”, with one exception that will be outlined below All relevant issues important to America and the world will be covered. Nothing important will be purposely left out or covered up. All news stories printed will be thoroughly and objectively researched; and based upon verifiable truth and facts. Any bias will not be allowed, and we will continually follow a policy to pursue purity of reporting to the extent humanly possible. One of the additional strengths of the newspaper will be hard hitting tenacious investigative reporting in order to get to the truth, and to expose corruption and wrongdoing….all based upon verifiable facts….wherever it leads.

 

The exception to the above will be to have opinion columns on important subjects, representing different points of view. Contrary points of view will always be present to any opinion article so that the reader can make up their own mind. The model that will be used is that which is similar to ballot issues when voting. For the most part, this is usually handled extremely well, presenting both sides of the voting issue, allowing the voter to decide.

 

The American Free Press, will as the name implies will be free to readers., no money will be charged for the paper. Funding for the newspaper will be entirely from contributions from people who believe in our purpose to bring the American people factual, verifiable, relevant, and objective news, without bias and void of propaganda. Contributions can be for any amount up to a maximum of $1,000. Any contribution of $500 or over will require the donor to sign a simple statement (provided in each paper) that indicates that the donor fully understands that they acknowledge that they will NOT receive any preferential treatment in the news reporting, whatsoever. There will be a maximum contribution level in any year up to $4,000 from any single donor.

We will have ongoing contact with the new schools of journalism that will be established at the various colleges and universities, with an opportunity for interchange between the students and faculty, as well as an opportunity for student co-op jobs while a student.

 

The American people are fed up with what they have been getting for news. The 2012 pre-election news given to the American people has been a disgrace to the profession of journalism, an insult to the First Amendment, and a threat to our democracy. It is also evident that corrupt polling has been used by some news organizations that attempt to influence public opinion, not measure it. Look for this to be addressed at a later time.

 

This will an exciting and much needed new direction for news in America.

Where is Our Government in Bringing Justice??

Why don't we get this guy? It should be pretty easy to find him with this photo that he posed for. They should have him already! Sophisticated Image enhancement techniques at the Rochester of Institute of Technology can make this photo MUCH better and even clearer. What are we doing??

 

 

 

 

Election Message From One of the Best Men of Our Times

Major Inflation Bubble About to Burst

While everyone seemingly has their heads in the sand, there is a major financial crisis looming that will cause still another devastating blow to the economy of the United States. How many more of these can we take?

While the reported inflation rate is running about 2% and lower, the REAL inflation, what it costs to actually live by, is running about 15%. This includes food cost that has skyrocketed, gasoline that has doubled over the last 4 years, healthcare costs, clothing, all kinds of tax and fee increases, and the higher cost of many necessities. In fact, 15% may even be a conservative number. The 2% number is not realistic vs. the actual financial impact upon the American people.

At the same time the Federal Reserve has artificially and dramatically suppressed interest rates over the last 4 years. The thinking is that low interest rates will stimulate investments while at the same time easing debt burdens. During normal times this might be a good thing, but these are not normal times, in fact far from it.

What is actually is happening is that investments are not occurring for a variety of reasons that can be summarized by saying there is no confidence in the direction of our economy. Growth is stymied. Artificially lowering debt burden is only delaying the inevitable and temporarily avoiding the responsibility for the debt. Think about placing your hand on top of a balloon filled with water and continually pushing down. The predictable will happen, the balloon will burst. We are now at the burst point.

Low interest rates are actually hurting the economy in several ways. Seniors, at the later stages of life, have generally two objectives for their life long savings. One is to help their children and grandchildren, the second is to enjoy life, and that means spending. Yet on a fixed income they are in a severe financial squeeze. Interest on savings is close to zero. Secondly the money that they have saved is increasingly losing value through real inflation. The result is that they don't spend as normal, their money is not going into the economy as it normally would. The second major negative impact due to artificially suppressed interest rates is on small community banks. They are also in a squeeze since a good part of their income results from home mortgages and small business loans. Their profit margin, by low rates, is pushed way down. In fact, there is little incentive to loan money. This also has a major negative impact on the economy. This is the reason we see so many of the smaller banks being swallowed up by the larger banks...not a good thing for the country. The larger banks don't worry about this issue since they are "protected". Protected with taxpayer money.

While all of the above is going on the Federal Reserve is printing money, flooding the economy, at the tune of $ 40 billion per month, or $ 480 billion per year! By flooding "paper" into the market, with nothing to back it up, obviously the dollar will be worth less and less.

Another factor is that according to the U.S. Census the median household income fell by 1.5%, people are making less money in a very difficult economy. In addition it was reported that 46.2 million Americans were in poverty in 2011 and we have about 23 million people either unemployed or underemployed.

All of the above is a formula for sure disaster and you can count on it, there will be no avoiding it. We have real inflation (today) running about 15 %. Artificially suppressed interest rates are actually hurting seniors, small banks, and the economy, as well as avoiding reality. People have less money and the money that they do have is worth less. A large number of people have either have no income or very little income. The Federal Reserve is flooding the economy with "paper" and this will make the dollar worth much less since there is nothing to back it up.

Within the next 2 years the bubble will burst and result in super inflation. The price of even items necessary to live by will be astronomical. An already delicate economy will go into a tailspin from which it may never recover. This is clearly predictable.

With a sense of urgency we need to take our heads out of the sand on this and begin addressing the fundamental issues discussed here. Immediately!
