The Most Dangerous Man in America

 

 

The Federal Reserve is a private bank, not part of the U.S. government as many people think. Yet it has a major impact upon the economy of the United States. It operates somewhat mysteriously and independently and its workings are subject to little scrutiny by the U.S. Congress and the American people. The present head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, is driving the economy of America to ruin.

He is driving the economy to ruin in two principle ways. First, he is artificially suppressing interest rates down to near zero and not dealing with the reality of the existing economy. It is like squashing down a water balloon further and further until it bursts. It is hiding reality. Justified lower interest rates can be good for the economy since they ease debt burden while also stimulating investment. But they should never be dramatically and artificially suppressed in order to hide a problem and that is exactly what Bernanke is doing.

This also has a major negative impact upon the middle class and retired people since they benefit little from their life savings. In fact, people on fixed incomes are experiencing an effective decline in income since real inflation is much higher than being reported. Food costs have skyrocketed in the last few years, as well as most necessary items and living expenses. Healthcare costs are climbing as are taxes, hidden taxes, and fees...and government leaders are pushing for even higher taxes! Since there is much less "free money" from savings and much higher costs, less money is being poured into the economy. Still another very serious issue is that by dramatically suppressing interest rates the margin of profit for small banks is squeezed significantly on their various loans. This makes them susceptible to being swallowed up by much larger banks, and this is exactly what we are seeing throughout the country. The steady decline of local community banks is not good for America. It is becoming that the entire banking industry is in the hands of a few.

The second move by Bernanke and the Federal Reserve that is very alarming is the printing of money at the rate of $85 billion per month....flooding the market with paper money with nothing to back it up. This is at the rate of over $ 1 trillion per year! The excuse given is to "stimulate the economy" yet it will result in a massive decline of the value of the dollar and will have just the opposite effect.

If you artificially and significantly depress interest rates; flood the market with a massive amount of paper money with nothing to back it up; and combine this with real and significant inflation ... what it costs the average person to live by...this will result in super inflation. We are currently on an out of control speeding freight train for this to happen. It will impact late 2013, and at the latest the first quarter of 2014. The value of the dollar will be so low, while prices of food and necessary goods to live by will be so high that people will be pushed into a state of utter poverty, not able to sustain themselves and their families. This will happen seemingly overnight and place Americans into a state of shock.

Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, essentially unchecked, have the United States headed toward the economic ruin of America. For this reason, he is one of the most dangerous men in America. Members of Congress, and the American people need to wake up before it is too late. All the warning signs are right there before us.

 

 

 

Not Just IRS - BIG Story Being Missed !

 

The facts are right there in front of us and we are missing them! This wasn't just an IRS action against conservative groups, but a COORDINATED FEDERAL INTER AGENCY ATTACK against conservative groups, Jewish groups that opposed the Obama administration's polices on Israel, big Romney donors, Tea Party organizations, Patriot Groups, essentially any group that opposed Obama policies.What this was - was Domestic Political Terrorism by the Federal government against American citizens. This was a thousand times worse than Watergate that was simply a burglary in order to gain information on the other party.

If we LISTENED at the Congressional Hearings, and LISTENED to those who were harassed being interviewed it was much more than just the IRS. Many of these people were harassed by the IRS, the FBI Anti-Terrorism Agency, the US Department of Labor, OSHA, ATF, the Obama re-election committee(s) and associated liberal groups, and God knows what other federal government agencies.

What this says is that these attacks of Domestic Political Terrorism had to be coordinated by a central source, someone high up in the Obama administration with the full knowledge and approval of President Obama. Wait and see, if this investigation continues as it should, there will be uncovered an "HR Halderman" type at a high level within the Obama administration who had the responsibility of coordinating all the inter agency attacks on American people.

This is a very, VERY serious issue that threatens the very foundation of our country. It needs to be purged from our democracy with the strongest possible action.

 

 

 

 

A Time for Life

Over forty years ago prenatal books were plentiful for expectant mothers that described the medical science of the stages of life within the womb. This included early movements of the baby, the ability to grasp, a heartbeat, the ability to sense, to feel, to hear and to see. This was accepted medical science, let alone the fact that the expectant mother could sense the life within her. As if further proof was needed there then emerged even further medical technology that gave physicians a "window into the womb" by real-time ultrasound, electronic heart monitoring of the child, fetoscopy, and cardocentesis. The proof of life within the womb is irrefutable and the medical profession knows this.

Yet in the 1960's a handful of dedicated activists launched a "marketing" campaign aimed at capturing the media and public opinion in order to legalize abortion. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of the pro-abortion group NARAL, told how they made up catchy slogans, fabricated fictional polls, and put out false statistics in order to sell abortion. Amazingly, without checking the validity of the information the media bought and reported all this. The pro - abortion movement gained great momentum.

Today the American conscience (including many young girls / women) is conditioned to believe there is no life until birth and what exists within the womb prior is just a lump of flesh. The word "fetus" is over used and the word "baby" is purposely avoided. Planned Parenthood alone performs over 330,000 abortions per year and received over $1 billion in taxpayer funding from June 2010 to June 2012 and it continues. At the same time this non profit organization recorded a profit of $243 million. Abortion clinics all over the U.S. are protected from any government oversight, health inspections, or regulation of their practices. This is very evident from recent happenings.

There is a pattern of government protection that is disturbing. Tom Ridge, Governor of Pennsylvania from 1995 - 2001, a Republican and a Catholic, specifically avoided any inspections of abortion clinics in the state so as to protect them from any scrutiny. As a consequence, under this protection, "Dr." Kermit Gosnell was allowed to operate a filthy, unsanitary abortion clinic in Philadelphia, without inspection, for over 17 years! Worse, in late term, he was unqualified to perform internal abortions so he evolved to the practice of delivering babies alive, and then killing them. His clinic, protected by Ridge, was horror beyond belief.

Similarly, Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat and a Catholic, now US Secretary of Health and Human Services, as Governor of Kansas from 2003 to 2009 protected "Dr." George Tiller a well known late term abortionist. Tiller would willingly, and had the reputation of, performing late term abortions. Yet partial birth abortions were against federal law! He also had a ghoulish practice. On his very web site (I saw it with my own eyes) he would offer: a Certificate of Miscarriage (a lie); a photo of the aborted baby with the parent(s); a footprint or a handprint; and a Baptism of the aborted baby...all for an additional fee. He was openly operating against the law, yet protected by government. He would abort a baby up to nine months!

In the State of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat and a Catholic, is now proposing that there be unlimited, unrestricted abortions allowed in the state up to full term, 9 months; that teens do not require parental approval; and that the abortions do not require a medical doctor to perform them. Can you imagine the "Gosnell" type of clinics that will emerge? Another pure horror show in the making while human life is being taken.

Sadly, the "Gosnell" and "Tiller" horror abortion clinics are not aberrations. This is specially and purposely due to the lack of government oversight of these clinics. It goes well beyond being politically correct. There is a fear that what will be discovered will hurt the cause of abortion. Human life doesn't matter, neither does the health of the women involved,...the abortion cause is supreme.

In America alone we have allowed well over 50 million abortions to take place since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision. The President of Planned Parenthood was given an opportunity to speak at the Democratic Convention, thus highlighting and promoting the cause of abortion in America. On April 26 of this year, the President of the United States, Barack Obama, addressed a Planned Parenthood event.

In my mind, the willful taking of human life, the taking the lives of beautiful, innocent, helpless babies, well over 50 million of them since 1973, is the worst holocaust in humankind. Things are upside down. That which is pure evil is accepted as being OK and the norm. Laws are enacted to protect it. Not only is it OK, but actually celebrated. What have we become as a nation? How can we sleep at night...beautiful, innocent, helpless babies....over 50 million of them.

I have written a letter to Bishop Timothy McDonnell requesting that "Life Chapels" be set up in every parish throughout the Diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts in order to pray for an end to abortion. I have sent a similar letter to Cardinal Dolan, President of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops requesting that Life Chapels be set up in churches throughout the United States. I am making an appeal to all religious faiths to do the same. I am requesting that the medical profession, each and every doctor out there, to stop being silent....you know better....speak up for the lives of those beautiful children.

"All human life--from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages--is sacred, because human life is created in the image and likeness of God. Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person...If a person's right to life is violated at the moment in which he is first conceived in his mother's womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole moral order." Pope John Paul II Washington D. C, October 7, 1979.

There is not a day that goes by that I do not cry, externally or internally, for the lives of those beautiful babies that are lost.

On the Right to Bear Arms & Gun Control

 

 

 

Early American settlers felt it was important to have the right to bear arms for several reasons including deterring tyrannical government and facilitating a natural right to self defense. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right of the people to bear arms and it was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights. In 2008 and in 2010 the Supreme Court, in landmark decisions, declared that this right is unconnected to service in a militia. There were, and are those today, who attempt to claim that the only purpose of the 2nd Amendment, and the right to bear arms, was for militia purposes. They are wrong.

The Founding Fathers were also very strong in their statements concerning the right to bear arms. George Washington said: "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." Thomas Jefferson stated :"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." He went on further to say: "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes"....and..."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

Today people in the United States are buying guns in record numbers. Why do you think that is the case? Yes, for self protection, but increasingly people today DO have a fear of the tyranny of our own government. They see our freedoms threatened and increasing over control by our federal government into every aspect of our lives. They see the government invading our privacy and actually spying on our own people in many forms, in violation to the Constitution. They see an irresponsible Congress and government that are pushing us further and further into debt. They see our sovereignty being threatened as a nation, being given up to the UN and other international organizations. They see our Constitution being not only circumvented, by actually violated. People fear the tyranny of our own government. They know that one of the first things that is done in a dictatorship is take the guns our of the hands of the people, so they can be more easily controlled. All these reasons are why people are buying guns in record numbers...let's be honest about it.

We have had terrible tragedies in the United Sates in recent times, most recently in Newtown, Connecticut. Gun control advocates, and many in our government, shamelessly seize on this as an opportunity, not even allowing the grief of the tragedy to begin to subside. They use it as an opportunity. Yet we all know that criminals, those who have a propensity toward violence, will always have access to weapons through various underground, or black market, sources. Our own government sold weapons to known Mexican criminals! Our own government routinely provides for the distribution of weapons to those forces who are seemingly friendly to our cause. (And in many cases turn out not to be.)

With the "gun control" that is now being sought, criminals and those who have a tendency toward violence will find guns and weapons. Law abiding citizens who want self protection and actually do fear the tyranny of government will be the ones who will be hurt. Thomas Jefferson said: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."

There is a reason for the 2nd Amendment and it had been very well thought through at the time in the forming of our great country by some pretty amazing people.

 

 

 

Christmas & Holidays - A Time to Reflect on God

 

 

The underlying problem with America is not the economy, jobs, the debt, the threat of terrorism, or other frequently mentioned problems. The problem is the increasing absence of God from our nation. Throughout history it has been proven, time and time again, that a nation's moral condition and its character are key to its survival. Nations, as well as individuals, are subject to God's moral laws. It is said that we should learn from history. Yet one only needs to look at history and the ruination of empires and nations of the past...the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and in more recent times Nazi Germany, and Communist Russia. The common thread is that God was removed in favor of the emperor, the dictator, the ruler, and / or the state. The fact is that they cannot co-exist. Loyalty to God interferes with loyalty to the ruler and the state. In effect, the ruler and the state become God.

Our Founding Fathers believed that God was important to both the founding and survival of our nation. Some modern day historians have tried to bury and ignore this very important part of our heritage. They want us to believe that the Founding Fathers were mainly Deists or Agnostics. Yet most of them were devout Christians and even those who weren't believed that God was critical to the survival of our nation. The proof of this is through their writings and speeches, our history is laced with their references to God.

Today, there is an ongoing distortion of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting the establishment of religion and impeding the free exercise of religion. Yet we have several groups today in our country that have twisted this toward actual violation of the Amendment by specifically preventing the free exercise of religion. The underlying motive is to take God out of every aspect of American life. It is a real and ongoing battle, and for the most part they are succeeding.

We see the bad fruits of eliminating God from our country. This starts with the destruction of marriage and the family, the very cornerstone of society. It extends to rampant immorality, the deterioration of our education system, the dumbing up of our population through wide spread drug use, crime, political and corporate corruption, the lack of respect for life, the use of propaganda in order to fool people...and even brainwashing in our schools. We see signs of it all around us. This is what always happens when God is removed from a nation, from a society.

As we approach the Christmas and Holiday season, we should all reflect on what God means to us individually and as a nation. Facts and history have shown that removing God from our lives, and from our nation, will result in ruination. Conversely, by placing God strongly in our lives and recognizing Him to be foundational to our nation will result in both personal success, and the lasting success of our nation. We WILL solve our problems, one by one.

 

 

Forewarning on New Major Economic Crisis in America

 

 

The "fiscal cliff" will be far overshadowed by the next looming financial crisis in America. The burst of the inflation bubble will be an economic catastrophe for America. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the monthly Consumer Price Index, that represents the "reported" inflation rate in our country. In 2009 the inflation rate was reported as flat, and even went negative for a few months! In 2012 it is running about 2%, or less. Yet those of us who buy food and all the necessities to live by, and pay for energy costs, gasoline, health insurance, increasing taxes and fees, etc. realize that REAL inflation is running from 10 to 15%...much higher than reported.

Generally, under normal times, keeping interest rates low is a good thing since it stimulates investments and eases debt burden. But these are far from normal times. Interest rates on savings have been artificially suppressed, actually squashed down, for over 3 years now to levels typically well under 1%. This has a tremendous negative impact on seniors who place a good amount of their life savings into conservative investments such as savings and CD accounts, but get practically nothing in return. It also affects the middle class and the poor since they are unable to improve their financial state through savings. Further, with interest rates artificially so low much less money goes into the economy through spending. Even worse, money that is in savings and CD accounts is worth less and less since real inflation is quite high and the value of the dollar is decreasing.

The final nail in the coffin comes from the Federal Reserve printing paper money, flooding the economy with nothing to back it up, to the tune of $40 billion per month, or $480 billion per year! The result of this is that the dollar is worth less and less.

 The result of real inflation being already high + interest rates squashed artificially low + the value of the dollar being lowered by printing an enormous amount of paper money = an economic disaster for America.

The inflation bubble will burst, causing prices / inflation to skyrocket. Prices of food and needed goods to live by will be staggeringly high. Millions, upon millions of Americans will be driven into a state of poverty and dependency. It will become a seemingly different America almost overnight.

It seems that all the economists and the "financial experts" have their head in the sand on this. We are headed toward a very major economic crisis in America that will overshadow anything that has happened so far. It will hit us in 2013, or at the latest in the first quarter of 2014. This is a forewarning.

 

 

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).
