America is more than just a Country

For those of you who are too young to remember or maybe some of you just plain forgot, America is more than a just a country.  It has been for generations the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, that’s not just a slogan for propaganda; it’s the basis for our existence in history.  When a greedy King George tried to impose his rule and unsustainable taxes on the citizenry the people took control and formed the United States of America and with sheer determination fought to the death for their liberty.  Did I say their liberty, where do you think your liberty came from?  Generation after generation has fought and died to keep this country free.  Free for you to expound on its faults and glorify its enemies.  Free for you to sit on your behind and watch people like Sean Penn, Danny Glover and other Hollywood stars who have openly endorsed people like Hugo Chavez and his brand of dictatorship and you still support them like they are American heroes.  Let me tell you, American heroes are the kids who have died to give them their right to exist.  America has been good to these people yet in their warped liberal progressive minds they would sell her out in a minute.  They shout how Chavez helped the poor. It’s the very dependency of the poor that he has helped create that kept him in office until he died.  We are seeing the same effect here in the United States.  The more dependent on government we become, the stronger the grip the Liberal Progressives have on our country.   I for one am grateful to have been born here in America and to have had the privilege to serve my country.  When we see known leftist professors in our Universities preaching anti American propaganda to their students, the same kids who you raised to respect and love the United States it sickens me.  Instead of preparing them academically for their future success that we prayed for, they are trying to develop them into progressive activists.      

As I grow older I feel more and more helpless in the fight for the glory of the United States.  Never in my worst nightmare did I ever expect to see the American Dream crumble in my lifetime especially at the hands of such a few.  We accuse Russia of being governed by an Oligarchy, those who surround Putin, it’s time we looked into our own little government, it’s no longer of the people for the people by the people but more and more it’s for the few who we have been stupid enough to give absolute power over us.  Over 320,000,000 people in this country and we are totally controlled by less than 600.  These 600 can make any law, enforce whatever laws they wish, pay themselves anything they want and to have the ability to retire after very few years with full benefits and medical at our expense.  Many go to Washington commoners with little financial wherewithal and yet mysteriously become millionaires in a very few years.   Have we Americans become so complacent and lazy that we just look the other way?  Have we reached the point where we are so dependent on government for our sustenance that we are powerless to stand on our own? 

I’m so sorry to say; “It’s a lot of my own generation who is giving away our freedom.”     

The Story of Harry Reid and his power and greed.

This article was submitted by a trusted and true friend who I have never know to repeat undocumented stories.  It's long but full of important info, please take the time to read and share with others.

 

THE STORY OF HARRY REID

( “How a second-rate politician can become a multimillionaire.”)

In a 1998 real estate deal put together by Jay Brown, a former casino lawyer and longtime friend, Harry Reid purchased two undeveloped residential-property lots on Las Vegas’ rapidly growing outskirts for approximately $400,000. Reid bought one of the parcels on his own and the second one jointly with Brown. In 2001 Reid transferred his interests at a value of $400,000 to a limited liability corporation created by Jay Brown, but he never disclosed the transfer on his annual public ethics report, nor did he inform Congress that he now held a stake in Brown's company. In 2004 Brown's company, having negotiated with local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center (Rory Reid, Harry’s son, had been elected to the Clark County Commission in 2002), sold the land to other developers in a deal that earned Reid $1.1 million -- a $700,000 pre-tax profit on his initial investment. Reid falsely reported the transaction to Congress as a personal land sale.

In 2001 Reid paid cash for a $750,000 condominium at the Washington, D.C. Ritz-Carlton where he resides. When he subsequently gave Christmas bonuses (in 2002, 2004, and 2005) to the doorman and other support staff at his building, he used $3,300 in campaign donations – a violation of federal election law. Reid’s campaign falsely listed the bonuses as campaign “salary” expenditures for two of the years in question, and as a “contribution” for the other year. When news of Reid’s misappropriation of campaign funds became public in 2006, the Senator’s office said the listing as "salary" had been a clerical error. When questioned, Reid announced, “I am reimbursing the campaign from my own pocket to prevent this issue from being used in the current campaign season to deflect attention from Republican failures.” Oh, okay!

In a $286 billion federal transportation bill passed by Congress in 2005, Harry secured $300 million in earmarks for projects in Nevada, including $18 million to fund the construction of a bridge spanning the Colorado River. On the Arizona side of that new bridge, Reid had already purchased 160 acres of undeveloped land. The building of that new bridge caused the value of Reid’s property to skyrocket. Coincidence? You decide.

Between 2002 and 2006, Harry gained monumental government concessions on behalf of a powerful Nevada land developer, Harvey Whittemore, who planned to build thousands of homes and numerous golf courses on 43,000 acres of barren land in an area an hour northeast of Las Vegas. Currently, the land had a bunch of federal restrictions on its use:: One-fourth of it was off-limits to developers because of federal protections for an “endangered” species of desert tortoise that dwelt there; another one-fourth was government-owned and was subject to a federal power-line right of way; and the territory overall was rife with streams and washes that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had designated as crucial to the health of the desert’s ecosystem, and was therefore generally off-limits to construction.

But, and thanks mainly to Harry’s intercession, the Bureau of Land Management agreed to relocate the tortoises to an adjacent federal preserve, thereby opening that portion of Coyote Springs to developers. One obstacle out of the way. The second obstacle was easy: in 2002 Harry inserted some obscure provisions into a land-management bill that relocated the aforementioned power corridor, thereby apparently freeing Whittemore to build on the 10,500-acre parcel he coveted. But the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee balked at the deal, and Reid was forced to negotiate an alternate arrangement where Whittemore was permitted to purchase the land at a fair market rate, then the government would relocated the power corridor. Finally, in 2005 Reid and fellow Nevada congressional member John Ensign used their combined influence with the EPA to remove the final environmental-impact obstacle.
In return for Reid’s help, Whittemore gave tens of thousands of dollars to the senator’s political campaigns and to his “leadership fund” (which Reid used to help bankroll the campaigns of some favored fellow Democrats). In addition, Whittemore gave $5,000 to each of Reid's two sons to finance their efforts to win local political offices. Whittemore also hired one of the sons as his personal lawyer to represent him in his current and future dealings with federal officials.

Between 2001 and 2004, Reid wrote at least four letters pressing the Bush administration to take action on certain issues of importance to Indian tribes that were clients of the lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Abramoff, whose staff was in regular contact with Reid’s office, lobbied on behalf of tribes involved in the gambling casino industry. Each time Reid wrote a letter on behalf of the Indian tribes, he collected donations from Abramoff and his lobbying partners and clients around the same time period. All told, these donations totaled nearly $68,000. Also between 2001 and 2004, Reid received more than $50,000 directly from four Indian tribes that were clients of Abramoff.

Harry’s lobbyist friend Abramoff was accused of illegally giving gifts and making campaign donations to legislators in return for votes or support of legislation. He was later convicted in federal court of defrauding Indian tribes. Though Reid was a regular recipient of Abramoff's generosity, he was only nominally implicated.

In 2013 Harry’s friend Harvey Whittemore was convicted of violating federal campaign contribution laws. He was charged with four felonies and convicted on three of the counts. He was sentenced September 2013 to two years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Again, Reid was only nominally implicated.

HARRY, RORY, CLIVEN, THE COMMUNIST CHINESE AND A TURTLE...

Lately we’ve heard a lot regarding the Bureau of Land Management and armed federal agents versus Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. As a consequence of Bundy’s steadfast refusal to give in to the government’s pressure, a light has been shined on a carefully hidden series of affairs that far overshadows the gravity of a cow possibly stepping on a turtle. As we've seen in a prior episode, Harry Reid and his family are putting his position as Senate majority Leader to extremely profitable use. But what's this got to do with a cattle rancher in Southern Nevada whose cows are stepping on turtles? Well, to start with, Cliven's last name was Bundy and not Whittemore, hence, the heavy weapons were sent by the feds.

Right now let's be clear: the desert tortoise isn’t the reason for 200 heavily-armed feds playing storm-troopers. So who and what are the cause of this attempted land grab? If Harry Reid is involved, it boils down to politics and money -- and in this case, with a generous dose of nepotism thrown in. Harry is getting on in years and has two sons to take care of ...

Okay, that explains Harry, Cliven and the turtle's role, but how do Communist China and Harry's son Rory fit in? Well, back in September 2012, it was reluctantly revealed that Harry's son Rory was the paid representative for CHINESE energy giant ENN who plans to build a $5 billion solar farm on public land in Laughlin, Nevada. Rory wasn't acting alone: Senator Reid was also an advocate for the deal. As the details unfold, it turns out Harry was a principal up to his hypocritical chin in the (choose one) 1. Manipulation; 2. Conflict of interest; 3. Use of undue influence; 4. Lying; 5. Misuse of office; 6. Breech of ethics; 7. All of the above. But bear in mind: when you’re Senate Majority Leader … well, you can pull off stunts that the average (law-abiding?) citizen couldn’t get away with in a million years.

Ostensibly, the “official reason” for the government’s interest in this land was to protect the helpless desert tortoise, which is protected under the Endangered Species Act. Just coincidentally, the public land that Cliven Bundy’s cattle have been grazing on is where the Chinese company wants to put its new solar panels. Bundy’s cows were standing in the way of huge profits (to the Chinese, to the Reid family and to Rory's attorney firm).

Now, whether it was the turtle who blew the whistle or the storm-troopers invasion, questions surrounding family ties are flaring again in Nevada around the Senate majority leader. He and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert. “Involved” in this Chinese case means there are huge profits available to high-ranking bureaucrats.

Harry Reid has been one of the ENN project's most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. Rory, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm (that is representing ENN) helped it locate a 9,000-acre desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory formerly chaired the County Commission.

To ensure there can be no suspicion of conflict of interest or unethical dealings, Rory Reid recently said, "I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff." Oh, right! And what does Harry say? A spokeswoman for the senator claimed he has not once discussed the project with his son.

We have a $5 billion project that both men are heavily involved with and they haven’t once discussed the project with one another? Oh, please!

I don't know which is most disturbing, watching the guy who hasn't even time to propose a budget for our nation spending all his time on his personal wealth, or him thinking (knowing?) that I'm too dumb to know what he's doing. Who the hell elected this guy, anyway?

Harry Reid a Bundy rustler?

An email I received Tuesday morning,

 

This message came to me via a Michigan resident....Why in the hell have we not heard of this up to NOW!! This appears to be damning evidence of the improper actions of Senator Reid and his son Rory (Sure seems that the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree if this article has any truth attached to it)........... If it is true, why does the Nevada voting populace continue to return Harry to his elevated position....To provide Nevada with some additional benefits from the US Government....or to provide Harry and his family with something that will make them millionaires over and over. The scenario is disgusting to say the least.

 

I recall that when Harry was interviewed a couple of years ago, he was asked what he ascribed his tremendous increase in his net worth....Harry replied "Sound and outstanding investments"..... Are we, the public so dunce that we can believe this diatribe??? This should be the defining moment by our Government charging Harry with undue increase in his and his family's personal net worth through improper and deceitful dealings which only benefit him and his ilk!!!! He needs to be retired WITHOUT pension due to his improper dealings during, what I personally believe, is his entire tenure as our US Senator........I'm disgusted beyond words!!!

 

Senator Harry Ried Cattle Rustler for Communist China

 

 

Posted on April 12, 2014 9:33:43 PM MDT by Jet Jaguar

This week, the Bureau of Land Management has been attempting to confiscate the cattle of Cliven Bundy, the last rancher in Nevada’s Clark County. On Wednesday, BLM agents confronted the Bundy family and supporters, using attack dogs, tasers and stun guns. Bundy’s son was tased and his daughter thrown to the ground. Three others were injured. Bundy supporters eventually drove the BLM off, but not before they had taken some cattle.

The BLM claims the cattle are “tresspassing” on land designated for the endangered desert tortoise. This designation is a red flag that something else is going on. Desert tortoises have co-existed with cattle for over 100 years and the cattle offer no threat.

 

Sure enough, as Dana Loesch reports today in a great piece of investigative journalism, Senator Harry Reid, known as “Cleanface” by the Nevada mob, and named by Judicial Watch as one of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians,” has been using the BLM to seize rangeland on behalf of campaign contributors. One of Reid’s former senior advisors, Neil Kornze, was recently appointed to lead the BLM, but he has worked there since 2011, and been de facto leader for at least a year. According to Loesch, Reid even ordered BLM to alter boundaries of tortoise habitat to allow top contributor, Harvey Whittemore, to develop the land. Yet another compassionate Democrat concerned for the environment. Good old Cleanface.

 

All other ranchers have been driven out of the county, but Bundy refuses to bend. The BLM claims Bundy owes them grazing fees dating back to 1993, however, he says his grazing rights predate the BLM, his family has used the land since the 1800s and those rights should have been grandfathered in. Contrary to BLM’s accusations, Bundy has been paying grazing fees, but to the governmental entity he believes has true title to the land: Clark County, Nevada. Loesch relates:

 

The BLM arrived much later, changed the details of the setup without consulting with Bundy — or any other rancher — and then began systematically driving out cattle and ranchers. Bundy refused to pay BLM, especially after they demanded he reduce his heard’s head count down to a level that would not sustain his ranch.

The BLM may have authority under the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934. Bundy says that “public land” belongs to the citizens, but the court claimed that “the public lands in Nevada are the property of the United States because the United States has held title to those public lands since 1848, when Mexico ceded the land to the United States.” In justifying the seizure the court stated “Bundy’s cattle have caused and continue to cause damage to natural and cultural resources and pose a threat to public safety.” It would be interesting to see the justification for that claim. What “cultural resources” exist in that open, undeveloped, remote area, and what was the damage to natural resources? Certainly not the tortoise, which they used as an excuse to close the off the land in the first place. What they really want is the land.

 

The desert tortoise is so “endangered” in this area, that the government is planning to euthanize some of them. Furthermore, the tortoise was virtually extinct before people even settled the area. Ranchers actually improved its prospects by accessing springs and developing other water sources, according to Myron Ebell, Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Energy and Environment Center. But with the extreme environmentalists at the Interior Department no good deed goes unpunished, because they want the land, period.

 

The government’s agenda in this and many other land confiscation activities is actually motivated by Agenda 21′s “Rewilding” program, which advocates pushing humans out of rural areas entirely, and into densely packed urban zones. The idea was a brainchild of Dave Foreman, founder of EarthFirst! who popularized the use of tree-spiking to prevent logging. Read here how it’s working out in California. However, these environmental hypocrites have all shown their true color when these “precious lands” subsequently are sold, developed or otherwise used to benefit the politicians who fixed the deal.

 

The politicians who fixed this deal are Senator Harry Reid and his son, Rory. And they did so on behalf of the Communist Chinese who intend to build the largest solar energy complex in America. Reuters reports:

[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert. Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.

 

“His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.” (Emphasis added.)

 

So now we get the true picture. Likely Clark County political corruption going along with this. All for the tortoise, that will doubtless become completely extinct when this massive monstrosity blankets its ground. This issue needs to be fought at every level and Harry Reid & Co. need to be brought up on charges!

 

Bundy is getting some support. Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Police Officers Association, is traveling to the ranch along with some fellow CSPOA members, and state representatives from Arizona and Nevada, as well as Nevada’s governor, Brian Sandoval, have issued criticisms.

Sandoval has taken a wait and see attitude. “Earlier this week, I advised the BLM not to limit or hinder the constitutional rights of Nevadans and be mindful of its conduct…” he said. Clearly the BLM has done neither. Will Sandoval let them get away with it? It is now clear what is happening. Will Sandoval allow this fraud to continue? Is he part of it? This is a telling moment for the Republican govenor. Will he do his job and honor his oath to “support and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic?” Right now it appears that we are dealing with enemies both foreign and domestic.

 

The legal issues on the land rights may be debatable, but the federal government’s increasingly despotic behavior toward defenseless citizens is completely without justification. Furthermore, its alleged reasoning is outrageous, given what we now know about the filthy handed, “Cleanface,” Harry Reid.

 

This is a defining issue and a defining moment in U.S. history, one that should be at the forefront of our nation’s attention today.

Obama's recovery

An email from a contributor who would like to remail annonymus

Planning your vacation to coincide with the "Obama-recovery"?

If you were seriously ill, would you rather have your doctor lie to you...look you in the eye and tell you what great shape you were in? Of course, your doctor wouldn’t do that mainly because it would deny you the chance to seek a cure -- quite possibly cost you your life. Also, both legally and morally he’d be violating his Hippocratic Oath.

Wouldn’t it be nice if only our president had taken a similar Oath? Instead, he has sold out his principles solely to satisfy his political ambitions. I would have never before said this of one of the fourteen presidents in my lifetime but this man doesn’t appear to have any principles. He is a liar. Oh yes, he’s good at what he does -- he's an accomplished liar. He has apparently lied all of his youthful and adult life, gotten away with it, and it appears to have served him well. It is difficult to find even ONE statement he has made to the American public in the past five years that wasn’t fabricated to some degree to suit his personal agenda.

His statements on White House transparency, Obamacare, a balanced budget, line-item veto, same-sex marriage, Race, Fast and Furious, the Benghazi slaughters, his involvement in the IRS felonies, his instructions to AG Holder with regard to the New Black Panther involvement in the election, his eagerness to unilaterally circumvent established law, would alone make Ananias blush! Just this week he focused in on the women’s vote by telling them that they are making only 77¢ an hour -- 23¢ less than men’s $1 -- this while his own government has contradicted his off-hand words with published numbers. They tell us it is only 5¢ and even that is explainable. Yet he ignores the truth and unhesitatingly lies whenever it serves his agenda. It is a shame that so many Americans swallow his words without confirmation.

I'm reminded of Germany from 1938 until 1945 when Hitler set the standard for lying. He did it so well, his army invaded Austria and just days later, on April 10th, 1938, over 97% of Austrians voted in favor of being occupied by Nazi Germany. He told them how good things were going to be under his regime. Of course, he never delivered. Too many Americans of the 21st Century remind me of those gullible Austrians.

You’re familiar with the endless array of “misspeaks” in the recent past. Only the president's toadies and grovelers seem to be immune to his blatant lying. Now the latest is how he’s blowing smoke about our non-existent economic “recovery.” He is painting a false and rosy picture for millions of innocent folks, introducing a "Twilight Zone" to his gullible disciples. Wouldn’t they rather have the opportunity to protect themselves knowing the truth? Following is the factual extent of the president's “recovery.”

• USA Today reports that Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy and could close many of its 2,100 stores. Sbarro, which operates pizza and Italian restaurants in malls, is planning to close 155 locations in the United States and Canada. That means nearly 20 percent of Sbarro's will be closing. The chain operates around 800 outlets.

• Ruby Tuesday announced plans to close 30 restaurants after its sales fell by 7.8 percent. The chain currently operates around 775 steakhouses across the U.S.

• An unknown number of Red Lobster stores will be sold. The chain is in such bad shape that the parent company, Darden Restaurants Inc., had to issue a press release stating that the chain would not close down entirely. Instead, Darden is planning to spin Red Lobster off into another company and sell some of its stores.

• Ralph's Markets, a subsidiary of Kroger, has announced plans to close 15 of its supermarkets in Southern California within 60 days. Safeway closed 72 Dominick's grocery stores in the Chicago area last year.

• Radio Shack is going to close more than a thousand of its stores. Staples is going to close 225 stores. Office Depot has seen same-store sales decline for 13 consecutive quarters. JC Penney lost $586 million dollars in the 2nd Quarter of 2013 alone. Sears has seen their sales numbers decline for nearly 7 straight years. Target is going to eliminate 475 jobs and not fill 700 additional positions that are currently empty. Aeropostale will close about 175.

The list seems endless and this is just in the retail sector. Economic weakness is widespread and growing across the entire spectrum. When will the administration tell it like it really is? Can it be that he is totally unaware of what’s going on? Wouldn’t it be comforting having a president we could trust? One whose specialty was governance, economics and foreign affairs instead of lying?

Not the same America that our fathers knew.

My heart goes out to the Soldiers and families of Fort Hood, for that matter Fort Lewis, Fort Dix or any outpost where the Government tells you you’re supposed to be safe.  I feel the shootings are just an example of what has happened to our morality.  What we now consider entertainment in the movies and the violent video games we allow our children to play.  We actually believed in God back in time and we were taught to respect him and expected to obey his word and his commandments.  We are not the same America of our fathers; we’re not even the same America that I grew up with.  It really gets my goat when I hear liberals talk gun control every time something like this happens.  When I was growing up we played cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians and all with toy guns.  When I was old enough to hold it I was given a gun and taught how to shoot it.  This was the norm back then, in hunting season most of the boys had rifles in their cars and trucks during school so they could head out as soon as the bell rang.  Kids used to bring their guns into the school metal shop to repair them.  Oh did I forget to mention, we didn’t have very many mass shootings back then, in fact I can’t remember even one.  When we got into an argument it was mano on mano with fists even though we probably had a gun in the truck.  The liberals in Hollywood who make their fortune with violence and sex in the movies and who make and design the video games that they market to the kids are the same bunch who want to take away our right to own a gun.  It’s the progressive liberals who are responsible for this generation, I just thank God most Americans have taught their children decency and respect, otherwise we would have complete anarchy and chaos.   

It seems so strange that we have such a rash of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) since Viet Nam.  We had millions men and women under arms in WWII and Korea and most came home and adjusted nicely back to civilian life.  I do honestly not doubt the reality of PTSD in today’s world; I do think however it has something to do with the lifestyle of America today.  Kids are desensitized to blood and death in movies and video games and when they are faced with it in real life and realize they are not invincible, they’re not prepared for the reality of it.  The soldiers of WWII and Korea expected the reality of war; they didn’t go into it feeling invincible.       

We’ll probably never know the real cause of this tragedy at Fort Hood but I feel better psychological training in the beginning of one’s military career might help.  It may seem gory but conditioning soldiers to the reality of war mentally with actual gory combat footage as well as physically training them to withstand the rigors of war might help.  Everyone remembers the first dead body they have seen, usually a distant relative but it doesn’t compare to the sights and sounds of combat and the terror that consumes their soul when they realize someone is trying to kill them.

A no cost jobs Bill sitting in Congress because of politics.

This resolution before Congress has no cost to the Federal Government IE the Taxpayers.  The only thing holding up this bill is politics in Washington.  It’s time to tell our Legislators to do their job.  The jobs that will be created by this legislation are needed badly and needed now. This Bill has been sponsored by both party’s and is a strictly non partisan bill.

At todays Lyon County Board of Commissioners meeting Commissioner Virgil Arellano presented the following resolution which was passed and adopted 4-0. Despite all of our efforts and broad community support ,including that of our Nevada Congressional Delegation ,Congressman Norman "Doc" Hastings of Washington State continues to obstruct the wishes of Nevadans who want to determine and shape their own course in securing our economic future in several communities and counties throughout Nevada. Enough is enough !

How can anyone read this and still say everything is just fine…

 

How can anyone read this and still say everything is just fine…

Recall that Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on his writings, and our President Obama writes about him in his books. 

Saul Alinsky died about 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today....... 

Saul David Alinsky, a writer, was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of the modern community organizing movement.  He is most noted for his book, Rules for Radicals.

 He died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

His education: University of Chicago

Spouse: Irene Alinsky

Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals

This is the current gameplan by our leaders:

All eight rules are currently in play.

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, and income)

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to. Take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the government and the schools.

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more             discontent, and it will be easier to take (to tax) the wealthy, with the support of the poor.

Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under the Russian rule.  And Stalin described his converts to communism, as "Useful Idiots." Note that the Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.    It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
