December 1988: Disregarding federal law in Las Vegas much as it did in Denver only months ago, IRS officials instituted civil fraud charges against dealers at Caesars Palace casino in late October using illegally obtained lists of dealers at resorts in the area. IRS officials chose to use the illegally obtained information after concluding it was far better than the public relations damage of showing weakness that would surely result if it did not proceed against the casino dealers in the nation’s gambling capitol.
Illegal conduct covered up by IRS District Counsel Richard Jones, Western Regional Counsel Benjamin Sanchez (shame on you Latino), IRS Chief Counsel William Nelson and other upper and lower-level officials was exposed by a Las Vegas television station, KTNV, after the station secured from IRS memos verifying the illegal activities. The memos reveal that IRS agents tricked Caesar’s Palace executives into giving them lists of dealers back in 1981 by saying the lists were needed for an employee tax audit; but no audit was ever performed. Instead, the IRS decided to proceed criminally against a number of dealers.
But the U.S. Attorney’s office refused to prosecute with illegally obtained evidence. “There is no way I can condone the IRS’ deceptive practices,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Olsen said about the cases. But that didn’t stop the tax collector from electing to use the evidence in proceedings against the dealers for civil fraud. To do so, however, IRS attorneys had to lie in tax court after the fraud charges were contested by the dealers. IRS attorneys denied before the courts that the lists and other information had been obtained illegally.
Memo correspondence among Jones, Speedy Gonzales Sanchez, and Nelson considering the pros and cons of proceeding against the dealers with the illegally obtained information reveals consideration between using the lists and risking a perception among taxpayers of vulnerability in the IRS.
“As a matter of policy, should the government proceed criminally when it discovers that it has made mis-statements of fact and intentionally violated the law?” asked Jones of the IRS District Director. “The apparent misconduct, deception, bad faith is also a public relations problem…that most certainly will be exploited by those who believe the IRS has too much power and abuses what power it does have.
The answer to Jones is represented by a memo from Regional Counsel Speedy Sanchez, who wrote that pursuing the back taxes owed by the dealers could result in a loss that would set “adverse precedent” against the IRS, not to mention “the sting of public rebuke.” (Speedy must have gone to confession Sunday morning)
But Sanchez also recognized the effects of letting the dealers off the hook altogether. “To let these dealers escape their tax deficiencies may be viewed as a greater evil than the damage to the IRS’ image,” he wrote. (Can you imagine the mentality – people fighting for a right and the IRS agent refers to it as “evil”. Go back to church Speedy)
The final decision was to allow to allow the cases to go forward. I believe a unilateral to concede these cases would be substantially worse than the potential damage to the Service’s reputation,” Chief Counsel Nelson wrote in a memo to the IRS commissioner. “It would become generally known through the press pr local grapewine, and the Service could be faced with numerous claims for refunds and future non-compliance from dealers who have already paid tax deficiencies. A decision to no longer pursue cases developed by these methods would also likely have a serious impact on the morale of IRS personnel in Nevada,” Nelson wrote.
The hope was that the case would succeed in Tax Court (loaded with pro-IRS bureaucrats) because, according to Nelson, there were no criminal charges, and “taxpayers are in no worse position than they would have been had the IRS complied with the statutes.” The exposure of the illegal activities by the IRS agents with the support of superiors in Washington, D.C., has fired public indignation and will probably result in success for the dealers in Tax Court (Wanna bet!)
The IRS was forced by public opinion to back off from pursuing of audits of more than 100 Colorado real estate appraisers after a single agent initiated the mass audits when an appraiser valued the agent’s home at $10,000 under what the agent wanted. If the same happens in Las Vegas, the loss in tax revenue is estimated at $150 million. Touche’…end of article

I was living in Las Vegas when this was happening. I left shortly thereafter, and didn’t learn the result. I will do a little research and find out and post my findings. I want to believe that the IRS was the winner. All they would have to do is go after an individual instead of a bunch.

Every action generates a reaction. There are no exceptions to this rule. All of the spending of money by government that puts all of us into debt for principal and interest does not bode well for America’s future. There is no way our U.S. dollar can continue to have purchasing power if we continue down this road to ruin. Printing press money does not create wealth nor prosperity. Never has, never will. It has been tried around the world again and again, It has always become a road to disaster. (The money lenders know this very well. It is countries who never wake up to the fact because of the political corruption like in the Congress of the United States.)
We so much want something for nothing, we become blind to reality. Prepare for our U.S. dollars to become as valuable as dollars printed by the Confederate States of America. They are collector’s items of curiosity without any purchasing power whatsoever. It is only a matter of time if we continue down this road. Very possibly it is too late already to turn around…Joe Switzer – Franklin, North Carolina

Re: The July 6 edition, I am sick and tired of seeing Newt Gingrich on the cover of conservative magazines and as a spokesman of the conservatives or even the Republican Party. (Conservatism is NOT a party – it is an idea)
Newt is a faux (fake) conservative and member of the Council on Foreign Relations. (The shadow one world government of the Rockefellers – an owner of the Federal Reserve). Do we have a place for those people in the party? Yes, if they act democratic, and do not try to take over. But guess what, Newt had his chance the chance of a lifetime and he blew it not just for himself but for all of us. He turned it into a money-making machine.
Just last year, as reported in the Washington Times, he gave a talk to the University of Vermont Young Republicans and was so adamant in collecting his fee that he bankrupted that organization and because of that, they were kicked off campus. That to me epitomizes Newt and I want no part of him ever unless he wants to become a loyal follower and even then I don’t trust him.
He is a tired, old greedy white man who would be yet another loser like John McCain in a national campaign. I expect to see these suggestions from the Democrats but not from the Washington Times. When can I expect to see Sarah Palin in the cover of the National Weekly?… Barry A. Goldsmith Greely, Colorado

I propose that a bill should be passed that would mandate that all bills going through Congress be no longer than 20 pages. We not only do not know who is really writing these bills being passed (staff? lobbyists?), but the final insult to us all is that they are being signed without being read. I implore both the House and Senate make this change. This is a national disgrace. 900 pages for a bill is foolish…Donna Kolinger, Pentwater, Michigan.

Walter Cronkite taught me that there was bias in the media. He was one of the first liberal commentators who was so obviously left-of-center liberal and mostly anti-conservative. There were others of his era who also let it show such as Marvin Kalb. Commentators such as Howard K. Smith, David Brinkley, Chet Huntley were men of such integrity I could not guess how they voted. Those were the days when newsmen were fair and balanced as a whole, but not Cronkite. He destroyed everything achieved in Vietnam by our military for the purpose of promoting a liberal agenda.
When Cronkite signed off with “that’s the way it is”, I learned it wasn’t, necessarily the way it was. By replacing him with Dan Rather (was dismissed in disgrace for reporting under false pretenses), CBS never missed a bit in its liberal bias…Leo Kuschnereit Midwest City, Oklahoma

There are only two times when I think abut Chappaquiddick: when I see Ted Kennedy (non-swimmer) near water, and when I see him not near water. And there Teddy was last month, not near water, but at some hearings where Ed Meese was being thrashed by two former Justice Department aides. Said Teddy: “Again and again, Attorney General Meese put private benefit ahead of public trust. And as a result public confidence in the Department of Justice was undermined. The Department’s morale suffered. And so did justice in America.”
Now, the first thing one notice’s when Teddy makes such a pronouncements is that he’s looking down and reading whatever he’s saying. Much fun has, of course, been had at Ronald Reagan’s expense because he reads from “idiot cards.” But almost nobody has noted the fact that Kennedy does the same thing. Teddy couldn’t ad lib a belch. Indeed, a few years ago, Teddy’s entire presidential campaign was destroyed when Roger Mudd, a longtime family friend, asked him the devastating question: Why do you want to be president?
Poor Teddy. Only for him could such a question be considered a cheap shot. But it was. And it nailed him right between the eyes. His candidacy croaked. Still, on the subject of Meese justice and the private versus the public interest, Teddy should be listened to. Why? Because on this subject he is truly an expert. I ask you, in all seriousness: Who in our Congress today knows more about putting the private interest above the public interest than Teddy Kennedy?
Indeed, his entire life has been motivated by the philosophy: The public and justice be damned! How so? Let us count just a few of the ways.
. Teddy was suspended from Harvard because of cheating when he was caught getting another student to take a Spanish test for him. This is the way rich kids cheat. They don’t cheat, directly, themselves. They hire somebody else to cheat for them. It’s the liberal way – it creates jobs.
. Teddy had his father get his U.S. Army duty changed to two years from the four years he had signed up for. He ended up as a guard at NATO headquarters in Paris rather than in Korea where there was a war going on.
. Teddy, while in college, was arrested four times: for reckless driving, for racing with a cop to avoid arrest and for operating a vehicle without a license. His allowance having, evidently, been cut off, he was unable to hire anybody to take these raps for him. So he had to face the music himself.
. Teddy, in 1965, was a sponsor of the appointment of Boston Municipal Court Judge Francis X. Morrissey to be a U.S. District Court Judge for Massachusetts. How much of a turkey was Judge Morrissey? Well, he was such a self-evident gobbler that a spokesman for the ABA denounced Judge Morrissey as utterly lacking in any legal training, experience or ability.
Massachusetts Chief Federal District Judge Charles Wyzanski said the “obvious fact” was the “the only discernable ground for the nomination of Judge Morrissey is his service to the Kennedy family.” And even long-time Kennedy family flack, Ted Sorenson, admitted that Judge Morrissey was “a political confidence man.”
. And, of course, there is Chappaquiddick, the “accident” – arguably negligent homicide – in which Teddy drove a young woman, Mary Jo Kopechne, off a bridge, and she drowned. The frogman who retrieved Ms. Kopechne body said that he believed she might have been saved if help had been summoned immediately. But help wasn’t summoned immediately. Why not? Or to paraphrase his laugh line at the recent Democratic Convention about Vice President George Bush: “Where was Teddy?”
When Ms. Kopechne was drowning at the bottom of a pond, in the car he was driving: “Where was Teddy?” Well, he was trying to save his own skin.
According to what we now know, no thanks to him, immediately after his car plunged off the bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, Teddy went back to his motel where he made 17 credit card phone calls. But it was not until the 18th phone call, nine hours after he ran off the bridge, that he reported his “accident.”
When all was said and done, Teddy received a two-month suspended sentence, serving no time in jail. Yet, despite all of this, Teddy still has the gall to talk about the “public trust” and “justice.” Can you believe it?
Today, with a straight face, sits in judgment on Ed Meese. He also thrashed Judge Robert Bork for being wrong on the “rule of law” and “justice” and (get this) “wrong on equal rights for women.” And when President Nixon, Teddy thrashed this too, asking: “Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?”
Well, Teddy, old buddy, I think your implication is correct, friend. It’s obviously the latter. Because if we did have equal justice under the law, for everybody, you’d still be in jail somewhere for what you did at Chappaquiddick…end of article.
What a despicable person he was. I hope the maggots eat him up in a hurry and for those in Massachusetts that supported this person through the years should be eternally shameful. You people are morally bankrupt just as the media has been for protecting this unethical person.
During confirmation hearings of Judge Bork and Clarence Thomas for the U.S. Supreme Court he destroyed Bork with the following – from a web site:
“Perhaps the realization that he would never become president freed Kennedy to speak his leftist mind. During committee hearings Kennedy stated that although the judge had abandoned his most “Neanderthal” views, his appointment would result in an America where “women would be forced into back alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated counters” and “rogue police would break down citizen’s doors.”…Google TED KENNEDY’S JIHAD – for much more. Both Bork’s and Thomas’ families were humiliated to no end.
If the 2nd plank of the communist manifesto hadn’t been invented in 1848 it could very well had been conceived by the non-swimmer during his political career. Liberals never use their own money – always take from the producers and give to the non-producers. If people would demand adherence to the laws of the Constitution there would only be two ways of taking part of our sweat in taxes. When war is declared (not the undeclared wars that benefit the military industrial complex) and when taxation is apportioned throughout the State. Then people would enjoy the fruits of their labor – even the poorest ones in our society. Imagine the economy if everyone’s wages were untouched by government – unemployment would be a thing of the past. The 2nd plank of the communist manifesto would disappear – “the more you make the more they take.”
And now, it’s being reported the White House is going after the Internet as well as conservative talk radio to stifle first amendment rights. Folks, this is communism. Obama has a “czar” in charge of the FCC that is an avowed communist. Again, not a damn word in the press except on the internet and talk radio.
When was the last time you heard a Democrat deliver a eulogy at a Republican’s church services as glowing as Senators McCain and Hatch for the non-swimmer’s going away party? I wish GOP senators like these two and several others would go away. They have become a detriment to our present and future battles against the rotten communists who have taken over our government. Make no mistake about it. We are beginning to hear more and more the word “communists” being tossed about.
I am fearful. If things keep getting worse for this administration they are going to find a way to put a stop to it. How? There are many ways but if things get so bad “they” will declare martial law. I am not the only one saying this.
Communists throughout history have always resorted to acts of violence to maintain power. They will not “just go away.” Whatever method – is in place now – all that is needed is a signature by the president. Our country is under siege. We are being communized and the Democrats in Congress are allowing it to happen. There are some elected Democrats in Congress that are not as bad as the leadership. Democrat voters – throw out the Pelosi’s – the Reid’s – the Durbin’s – the Barney Frank’s – the Water’s – the Boxer’s…these and several others are a danger to your liberties and freedoms.
Liberals – communists in disguise – have been working very hard for over 50 years to infiltrate our institutions and all along the main stream media kept the people the dark. And the non-swimmer was right in the thick of things to make it happen – he’s being sent off as a hero…not in my world.
Through the years many have attempted to warn people of this but the media – Hollywood – academia, and the communists in the Democratic Party have always demonized those outspoken ones. And now that we have the internet and talk radio – how quick the communist in government are desperately trying to shut it down – DON’T LET IT HAPPEN!

The radicals in the White House have taken over the census job (unconstitutional) that’ll be due next year. Thousands are being hired to do this. You can bet that ACORN and many other radical organizations will be involved.
What is going to happen is that literally hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens will be flushed from hiding with promises that they have nothing to worry about – that amnesty will be granted to all. This will add numbers that’ll go through the roof.
What follows are excerpts from an article written by John S. Baker (Constitutional Lawyer) and a Mr. Stonecipher – a Louisiana pollster and demographic analyst. The article appeared in the Wall Street Journal 8-10-2009.
Next year’s census will determine the apportionment of House members and Electoral College votes for each state. To accomplish these vital constitutional purposes, the enumeration should count only citizens and persons who are legal, permanent residents. But it won’t. Instead, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to count all persons, physically present in this country – including large numbers who are here illegally. The result will unconstitutionally increase the number of representatives in some states and deprive some other states of their rightful political representation. Citizens of “loser” states should be outraged. Yet few are even aware of what’s going on…Again, an example how the controlled press omits vital information.
“… however, Congress and the Census Bureau have added inquiries that have little to do with census’s constitutional purpose…” “…By 1980 there were two census forms. The shorter form went to every person physically present in the country and was used to establish congressional apportionment. It had no question pertaining to an individual’s citizenship or legal status as a resident…” “…The longer form gathered various kinds of socioeconomic information including citizenship status, but it went only to a sample of U.S. households. That pattern was repeated for the 1990 and 2000 census…”
“…The 2010 census will use only the short form. The long form has been replaced by the Census Bureau’s ongoing American Community Survey. Dr. Elizabeth Grieco, chief of the Census Bureau’s Immigration Statistics Staff, told us in a recent interview that the 2010 census short form does not ask about citizenship because “Congress has not asked us to do that…”… “…The census has drifted far from its constitutional roots, and the 2010 enumeration will result in a mal-apportionment of Congress…”
“…The Census Bureau can of course collect whatever data Congress authorizes. But Congress must not permit the bureau to unconstitutionally redefine who are “We the people of the United States.”…end of excerpts…
Don’t forget, President Pinocchio has taken the responsibility of the Census Bureau and placed it under the White House to be administered by radicals and communists. If this power grab succeeds whom do you think more millions will vote for? YOU MUST NOT LET IT HAPPEN! Call relatives in other States and tell them to demand representatives not allow this.
The following article is a repeat by is by Dr. Samuel Francis to the Justice Times – 1990. Dr. Francis is the recipient of the Distinguished Writing Award of the American Society for Editorial Writing.
Like Satan in Dante’s Inferno, the forces threatening the integrity of the American nation and its culture have three faces. The “global economy” and political one-world-ism jeopardize the historic character, independence, and the very sovereignty of the United States.
The third threat, the mass immigration that this country has endured for the last 15 years or more, is no less a danger to the cultural norms by which American civilization has identified itself throughout most of its history. Nevertheless, like the internationalization of our economy ( criminals in Congress are bailing out foreign banks) and government, the internationalization of our population is consistent with the interests of the elites that welcome and encourage it.
Some 600,000 legal immigrants and refugees and as many as one to two million illegal aliens enter this country every year, most of them from Third World countries as different from the United States as the tattoos of the Jivaro Indians are from paintings of Rembrandt. Actually, no one knows how many illegal aliens are here, but most authorities now acknowledge that the immigration to this country in the last decade rivals the size of the last inundation of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. (If people allow Democrats, with help of hypocrite Republicans like Senator McCain to pass amnesty legislation, millions upon millions of people will eventually be added to the Democrat Party rolls. Millions of relatives will be able to follow the ones being granted amnesty)
Americans who live on the periphery of the United States in the east, south or west are familiar with the common place results of the invasion: clerks, waiters and cab drivers who can’t speak English and can’t make change in dollars and cents; stores, churches and whole shopping districts where the signs are in languages or scripts that most of us can’t even identify, let alone read.
But these are mainly just irritants. Eventually, they will be resolved, as the newcomers and their children are – “assimilated” – i.e., pick up televisionese and adopt the sartorial splendors of K-Mart in place of their customary beach towels and pajamas. When defenders of mass immigration talk about “assimilation,” that’s the kind they usually mean. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help, unless you believe (as many defenders of mass integration do believe) that American culture consists merely in what can be purchased at the nearest shopping mall.
Those who believe a deeper American culture still exists and ought to be conserved (they used to be called “conservatives”) …(until the communists in our country made conservatism a dirty word) have good reason to worry that the new throngs of foreigners among us will not assimilate to it in any enduring way. Not simply language and clothing, but also less tangible qualities, such as the unspoken assumptions of political culture, art and literature, entertainment and religion, education, morals, the family, and concepts of work and property together create the set of common norms by which Americans know themselves to be different from Canadians, Mexicans, Europeans, and other cultures.
But the process of becoming a real member of a living society is somewhat more complicated than translating advertising slogans into Japanese or Swahili.
It is especially complicated when, as today, there are major obstacles to assimilation. Sociologist Nathan Glazer, a supporter of immigration, points out that the social pressure that in earlier eras helped accelerate the acculturation of new immigrants is today largely absent.
Today’s “cultural authorities” (communists) legitimize and instigate “alternate life styles,” eschew stereotypes, scorn WASP ethnocentrism, and indulge every known form of deviation and idiosyncrasy from the religious exotica of Santeria (a religion merging the worship of Yoruba deities with veneration of Roman Catholic saints: practiced in Cuba and spread to other parts of the Caribbean and to the U.S. by Cuban émigrés) to the perversions of the National Man-Boy Love Association. “Popular opinion” writes Mr. Glazer, “now questions the legitimacy and desirability of forcefully imposing a common identity on immigrants and members of minority groups.”
But it’s less “popular opinion” perhaps than the interests of the elites that run the country and refuse to take the minimal steps to restrict immigration, which actually serves to enhance their power even as it promotes the decomposition of a common culture. The uses to which the millions of new immigrants may be put go well beyond the cheap labor they provide to Western agribusiness and Southern construction firms.
The elites that prevail in the United States today are bureaucratic and technocratic, gaining power by their ability to manage and manipulate social change through the fused apparatus of the state, the economy, and cultural organizations in the form of mass media (communists) foundations, schools, and churches. (The church should stay out of the immigration issue and pay more attention to their clergy by weeding out the pedophiles that are scarring our young emotionally)
In the past, these elites have been able to ally with the American underclass – first, with the industrial working class in the early 20th century; more recently with the urban black lumpenproletariat (unskilled workers, vagrants, and criminals) – to dislodge rival elites in private, social, and local institutions and jurisdictions and to exploit the middle class. But as the under classes of the past graduate to middle income status, the elite need new proletarians as allies to help sustain their dominance.
Third World immigration allows for the importation of a new underclass and provides un-glimpsed visas of social manipulation in the form of new opportunities for managing civil rights, ethnic conflicts, education, health, housing, welfare, social therapy, and assimilation itself. In 1988, state officials in California were bickering over who would control their state’s 55 percent of the $3.4 billion in federal aid intended as welfare, education and health care aid for immigrants; and other states also were contending for their fair share of the booty.
Another outcome, also useful to American elites, is the political exploitation of the immigrants, legal or not, who constitute a new electorate as well as a new underclass. Liberal Democrats (communists) are demanding “instant voter registration” laws, to be enforced and supervised by federal officials against local and state jurisdictions that are thinly disguised mechanisms for allowing aliens to cast ballots.
President Obama has ties with ACORN since his Chicago days as an organizer. ACORN is a radical organization that is being investigated by a dozen states for conducting criminal activities, mostly having to do with voter fraud. Yet, Obama saw to it that ACORN receives either 3 or 4.6 billion dollars of our money to keep their destructives ways going. Imagine, the President of the United States in collusion with radical organizations.
If you people have ACORN in your cities get on the phone and demand that elected officials monitor these bastards to find out what crimes they are committing. Stand-up god-dam-it! It’s our government and country. We have to stop what appears to be a dictatorship in the making. Next year will be our only chance left. Get started. Tell your friends in third parties to support GOP candidates just once in 2010. We have to control at least one of the two houses in Congress. Otherwise communism keeps advancing. You think I’m paranoid? Who would’ve thought a man could marry a man and call it a marriage? How many of you know your tax dollars pay for abortions? How many of you know Planned Parenthood is subsidized to the tune of $300 million dollars of your tax money? and many more millions for abortions overseas? Imagine, our hard working CIA agents are being made criminals by the Obama presidency! WE HAVE A CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!
But Republicans (lesser of two evils) are not far behind, and in 1988, neo-conservative idol Jack Kemp gaily predicted that the GOP would have to appeal to the newcomers. Which party will take care of traditional Americans no one seems to know, or care. Mass immigration is also perhaps the most useful instrument by which the very idea of nationality can be liquidated, and it thus fits well with the forces of economic and political globalism and with the interests of the emerging transnational elite, into which our own technocrats are fusing. As national populations and the cultures they carry become interchangeable through migration, the concrete meaning of citizenship, political loyalty, sovereignty, and other elements of nationality will yield to a new supranational regime over which the emergent elite presides.
Caught between the new underclass and the new elite, plain old Americans can look forward to subsidizing through their taxes not only their own cultural dispossession, but also the eventual disappearance of their nation itself, to the advantage of an elite that has disengaged itself from the body of the society it manages. If the Americans at the heart of that body are serious about preserving their nation and their culture, they will have to escape from the vise the new elite and the new proletariat have constructed by freezing themselves from the newcomers above and below them.
End of article
I’ve said it before and it’s worth repeating – the game plan of the “elite” whom I say are the owners of the Federal Reserve – is to put all countries in North America under one economic system. Just as they’ve done in Europe – under the Euro-dollar. I know there are many others but bankers are the power. This is why government has been so lax enforcing immigration law. They want Americans to get used to all this “assimilation” before considering erasing the borders. Bureaucrats follow Congresses’ policies – Congress follows what the bankers want.
Senator McCain is up for reelection. Recently appeared in a town hall meeting and started praising President Pinocchio about how sincere he is and the good job he’s doing. What an idiot this guy is. How can anyone, especially a senator, be so out of touch? People in the audience began howling and booing – and still persisted in complimenting Pinocchio. I hope we get rid of him next year. Mother’s are my heros, not a former POW that was a reckless pilot.
“I AM SORRY I ONLY HAVE ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY.”
I wish we were not left in the dark as to what Congress is designing for amnesty legislation being prepared. Just as the “Stimulus” and now “Health” legislation are loaded with a lot of rules and regulations that are detrimental to our way of life, I’m afraid amnesty legislation will have more of the same.
It is not right for many that have to wait in line for permission to migrate to our country the legal way and allow amnesty for many that didn’t want to wait. I suppose if I lived in Mexico with so much corruption and starvation wages I wouldn’t hesitate to cross over. Why not? Finding work from employers that look the other way in hiring and have the blessing of local the Chamber of Commerce – why not?
Laws passed through the years have never been enforced. A local sheriff is a rarity because he enforces the rule of law and is attacked not only by radical organizations, but by the local newspaper and the full force of the federal government. Have you noticed why everything or anyone that is good for our country is always attacked? (Sarah Palin) Why is the media so wrong? I’ll tell you why – that’s how far control of the press reaches. Communists have taken the word “illegal” and made it to mean “racist.” This is how effective PC has become. It is a communist tactic (thought control) that has stripped many of the first amendment.
Now pending in Congress are “crime hate” laws. It won’t be long before it’ll be a crime for religious entities to say anything against homosexual lifestyles. There already have been a few instances when some have been removed from careers because of a single word.
There are many answers where PC started. I accept the one about the little Red Book students at Universities were waving during the 60’s demonstrations against the war. That little Red Book was from China under Mao’s rule. I never bothered to read it. David Horworitz, an author and quite famous now, has written many books exposing the inroads of communism in our society – especially in colleges. He tells the story of communist parents but along the way he decided it was the wrong belief. Since then, he has spent all his life exposing and reporting to the country the evils of that ideology. It is the worst in history. Our schools are loaded with socialists/communists professors.
The following is a letter I sent to the local newspaper that I want to share. I well remember back in the 40’s and 50s when the agriculture industry would employ many people from Mexico to pick crops. After the season was over they would return home. Local citizens that worked the fields would migrate to California to pick fruits and vegetables once the season was over in Phoenix. Conditions were horrible. But they had to eat. Empty stomachs will force anyone to work the fields, even American citizens on welfare and food stamps. But the welfare system forced on us by the government allows people to become lazy by entitlements – exactly what the bankers want – spend spend and government grows and grows and spends more. The bankers have raked in trillions through the years in interest that comes from our sweat. And it’s unconstitutional.
Along came Cesar Chavez, who was almost assassinated because he organized farm workers. Conditions improved, and of course prices went up. But at least workers were much happier. It seemed that by organizing field workers farmers had a better handle as to how many workers would be needed to pick crops. Unknown by many in our country Cesar Chavez was against illegal immigration because it would weaken his Farm Workers Union. I read somewhere that California would need only 50,000 field workers to do the picking. There is much I don’t know, but I do know that our country doesn’t need millions to do the work in fields. I assume that the same applies to construction work. How many in my state of Arizona would need for construction certainly is not in the millions. In the service industry? There must be thousands that are legal, already working in restaurants, fast-food – delivery – and hotels, and whatever else is considered “service.” In other words, we don’t need thousands to hang around street corners.
The letter to editor reads as follows. It’s not great but at least it is from an individual who is so concern that I want to speak out regardless if some think I don’t know what I’m talking about. Quite frankly, I’ll match my GED with anyone in Congress. I put on my pants just as they – and I’ll be damn if I’ll take a back seat:
DEALING WITH IMMIGRANTS
(Newspaper Title Not Mine)
Possible solutions to alleviate immigration problems: Enforce immigration law – impeach civil officers not complying. Deport all illegal persons except the following:
Pardon and grant Green-card status to those married and employed with children; Property owners; Grant Green-card to full-time students with proof of enrollment. Award green card to those with diplomas from any learning institutions. Pardon self-employed with a legitimate business license. Deport all others – have them get in line – like others.
States to submit quotas to feds for workforce; agriculture, construction, and service industries. Anyone employed from outside the country has to be examined for health reasons. Disease in our country has skyrocketed immensely because of people coming in illegally. That is also a reason why our hospitals are so jammed with ill people. We never read stats about the rise in TB, Leprosy, Aids, and whatever else is being brought into our country – NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
American citizens first; Ones that have earned citizenship second; Green-card holders last. Should there be a shortage of workers States to submit a figure needed to the Immigration Department (name keeps changing) Expedite the waiting period of people seeking permission to work in our country to fill quotas.
Consolidate all incarcerated illegal people in the country in one State in the Southwest. Even two States if one can’t handle all. Federal Government reimburses the State for upkeep and maintenance. It would save millions logistically. Demand payment from the Mexican government in oil to offset cost. Amend federal law to allow States to patrol own borders…end of letter.
We use to have a program similar to what I am recommending. It was called the “Bracero” program. But like many other words, that term has become “racists.”
All the above are ideas shared by me, a kid that worked the fields in order to buy a pound of flour for my tortillas and a pound of beans for a bean burrito as a lunch in grammar school while learning to be an upright citizen. What I see coming from government is more of the same. Congress is going to grant amnesty to millions but what they are not telling people is that people granted amnesty will qualify to bring families over. The worker will not make enough money to support family and guess where they’ll turn for help? This will add billions more to the welfare state and the bankers will keep on smiling like they have since 1913 when they took control of our monetary system.
Folks, we must stop amnesty for millions unless there is a better formula that is fair, compassionate, and understanding to their plight. But first we must do it the right way – not the way criminals in Congress will try. I am for helping anyone seeking a better life but I will not sacrifice the sovereignty of my country. The Congress and the powers at be can go to hell. It is our country, our government, and all people in the three branches of government are OUR servants – DEMAND THAT THEY OBEY OUR CONSTITUTION! IT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.
This just in: “MIGRANT ARREST PROGRAM UNDER FIRE” – so reads the morning headline. (Az. Republic) “Groups urge Obama to end pacts with local law enforcers.” President Barack Obama is facing growing pressure from some civil-rights, labor, religious and pro-immigrant groups to end a program that lets local authorities enforce the country’s immigration laws. Hundreds of the groups on Wednesday issued a call to terminate the program, saying it can lead to racial profiling and isn’t an effective anti-immigration tool…(end of partial article)
Racial profiling is not rampant. It is sensationalized by the media to sell paper plus to push for amnesty that will favor the Democrats and the elite that rule our country. The main stream media has become an enemy of We, the People.
This is what democracy (This is mob-rule – worst form of government) is all about folks. We have mobs that are creating unrest which may possibly lead to civil unrest. We are a nation of laws or we’re not. What will it be? Why is it all right for religious organizations to promote violation of the law and yet restricted to preach politics from the pulpit? They should lose their tax-exempt status – but won’t happen under the present administration. We have a cultural war on our hands and if you don’t or won’t standup for what is right – God save our country.
Just as the Democrat Party is a party that welcomes communists and radicals, what the country needs is strong opposition that will fight back. The elected in the GOP has proven to be a party full of nerds and cowards. They should roll up their sleeves to fight instead of running around with a cocktail in hand. And the people in the GOP? They appear beaten without the will to fight. I get tired of telling people to join the GOP and throw out the nerds like a McCain fm Ariz. and Hatch fm Utah. And many more in the GOP, like a Lindsey Graham who is the wimpiest. We are going to lose our country and future Americans (the ones who’ll think) will ask where did our people go wrong? What a legacy to leave…I am ashamed of people that don’t understand the serious problem we’re faced with.

“This constitution, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding…and all officers both of the United States and of the several States shall be bound by oath to support this constitution.” -Article 6, Constitution of the United States.
Back in 2006 retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor had an article posted in the Wall Street Journal (9-27-06) “The Threat to Judicial Independence.” It addresses the growing attacks on judges:
“In November, South Dakotans will vote on a constitutional amendment being advocated by a national group called “Jail 4 Judges.” If the amendment passes, it would eliminate judicial immunity, and enable a special grand jury to censure judges for their legal determinations. Although the amendment’s supporters claim they seek a “judicial accountability initiative law” (JAIL), they aspire to something far more sinister – judicial intimidation. Indeed, the national WEB site of JAIL 4 Judges boasts with striking candor that the organization “has that intimidation factor flowing through the judicial system,”
“It is tempting to dismiss this proposed amendment as merely an isolated bout of anti-judge angst. But while the JAIL 4 Judges initiative is unusually venomous, it is far from alone in expressing skepticism of the judiciary. In addition to South Dakota, this election cycle has witnessed efforts in at least three other states that are designed to rein in judges who have supposedly “run amok.”
What follows are one-liners (the article is too lengthy) from paragraphs:
“…”Directing anger toward judges enjoys a long – if not exactly venerable – tradition in our nation”…”…”But while scorn for certain judges is not an altogether new phenomenon, the breath and intensity of rage currently being leveled at the judiciary may be unmatched in American history…” “…The ubiquitous ‘activist judges’ who legislate from the bench have become central villains on today’s domestic political landscape.”…”Judges must be free to make judicial decisions without the fear of physical harm to themselves or to members of their families.” (Last one from Judge David Sentelle – U.S. Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit)
She continues…Given the escalating criticism that is leveled at judges, it seems appropriate to bear in mind the reasons that the Framers initially established an independent judicial branch. In Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton explained why, in our constitutional system, “the complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential.” Hamilton contended that the judiciary needed to be distinct from the legislative and executive branches because that was the best way to guarantee “a steady, upright, and impartial administration of the laws.”
Hamilton also believed that judicial independence was necessary in order to safeguard against “injury of the private rights of particular classes of citizens, (tax rebels) by unjust and partial laws.” It is well worth remembering that, far more often than not in modern times, the judicial has admirably performed these two vital tasks: checking the other two branches and protecting minority rights…end of article. The following are a few rebuttals from letters to the editor – (Wall Street Journal 10-10-06)
The first is by Judge Ralph Adam Fine – Wisconsin Court of Appeals Milwaukee:
Justice O’Conner sets up a straw-man argument when she decries the intimidation of judges and quotes federal appeals-court judge David B. Sentelle as saying “Judges must be free to make judicial decisions without the fear of physical harm to themselves or to members of their families.” Of course, only those beyond the pale of reason would disagree.
But there is a deeper issue embedded in her recognition that there is an all-too-pervasive lack of trust in judges – both state and federal. All too many judges have lost sight of their responsibility of interpreting law, the appointing powers – presidents, governors, and, in many states, the electorate – select judges precisely because they expect those judges will “make law” favorable to appointing powers’ political agendas. (The ACLU and many radical organizations use liberal judges to rule in favor of their agendas or to strike down initiatives passed by the voting public.)
True, it is frequently a fine line between improperly making law and interpreting it, especially when legislative dictates are purposely vague (so legislators can be all things to all people), or when judges fulfill their rightful responsibility of developing the common law, which, as the name denotes, grew out of what the community believed were proper rules for society.
While I join Justice O’Connor’s decrying of threats to judges, I also recognize that many of those threats are largely – and irrationally – born out of frustration with judges who use their benches as thrones from which to impose their own social, religious or economic views…end of letter.
Number 2 letter by Jeffery Ihnen from La Crosse, Wis.
The reality is that plenty of judges have taken on lawmaking duties to shape the world to conform to their beliefs, opinions, and values. Ms. O’Connor fails to describe that the founders did not intend this, nor did they write it into the constitution. The activities of JAIL 4 Judges seem like a natural reaction to judges gone wild…end of letter
This one by Kenneth G. Coveney – San Diego, CA.
Justice O’Connor cites Federalist No. 78 Alexander Hamilton for the proposition that the Framers intended an independent judiciary. Maybe so, but I defy her to find in the Constitution a provision that states that the Supreme Court has the final say so on what is constitutional. That power was arrogated to the Supreme Court by the legerdemain (trickery) of John Marshall in McCullough v. Maryland. That was the first hole in the dike.
Ms. O’Connor finds it particularly troubling that other judges are critical of the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court allows the use of race to achieve balance in an otherwise color blind society (University of Michigan case), and when the court cites foreign law (this, I believe, is part of the one-world government propaganda) for the proposition that it is uncivilized to execute a person under age 18 (Roper v. Simmons), the justices are not making judicial decisions but rather legislative ones…end of letter.
One more by Edward H. Stewart Jr. Austin, Texas:
If “the breath and intensity of rage currently being leveled at the judiciary” is “unmatched in American history,” there is more than likely expressed by Sandra Day O’Connor’s praise for judicial minimalism in “The Threat To Judicial Independence” (editorial page, Sept. 27. WSJ) Surely the judiciary’s mission is broader than “checking the other two branches and protecting minority rights”; but from the perspective of heartland America, the courts have long abandoned that broader mission to engage in partisan advocacy against the majority’s interests.
It is simply disingenuous to argue that anger against judges is being stirred up by fanatics and opportunists while dismissing the judiciary’s persistent undermining of fundamental constitutional protections, such as the right to life in Roe or private property rights in Kelo, as mere “erroneous decisions.”
Justice O’Connor’s argument ultimately rests on the false assumption that only the executive branch, legislature or public might pose a threat to “the complete independence of the courts.” A more reasonable reading of Hamilton is that the responsibility for maintaining the distinction between the judiciary and the two other branches rests at least equally upon the judiciary. That has certainly been the opinion of the Supreme Court itself at least since Jefferson requested its advice on foreign policy and the court demurred, explaining to President Washington that there is a constitutional prohibition against such advisory opinions because they usurp legislative and executive powers.
Such reticence is hardly to be found in the commerce clause, religion clause, abortion rights or eminent domain doctrine of liberals on the current Supreme Court, or that of their most dependable ally, Sandra Day O’Connor. (swing vote) The result has too often been opinions like Kelo in which the rights of minorities or special interests are held to be pre-emptive and the usurpation of legislative and executive powers by the judiciary the means to a socially desirable end. Perhaps the public’s anger toward the bench is simply a reasonable response to decades of unprincipled jurisprudence…amen.
I may not posses any degrees other than a GED, but I can comprehend. Let me begin by stating that 90% of people have never seen our Constitution. Perhaps she’s forgotten what little she learned. It isn’t taught in detail at schools. How true or not, I’ve read where students taking bar examines aren’t questioned much about the constitution, mostly case law. I have a grandson studying law and asked him about “jury nullification” and was perplexed – he hadn’t heard about it.
Two big concerns of our Founding Fathers were the separation of powers and the monetary system. Both have been subverted. The three branches operate outside our law. (checks and balances are almost gone) The monetary system is in private hands. The Federal Reserve Board is illegal and unconstitutional. A reminder. The government may not change the Constitution unless approved by the people. Only Congress can “…coin money and regulate the value thereof…” That law is still in your Constitution. All this was done by destroying our Republic, converting it into a democracy – the worst form of government – mob rule. Witness what’s going on in YOUR White House. OUR White House has been taken over by radicals and communists. Adding insult to injury – Trillions to bailout thieves in Wall Street and the banking industry. Constitutional government – Justice O’Connor? – I don’t think so.
When the powers at be (International Bankers – owners of the Federal Reserve) got the criminals in Congress to pass the 17th Amendment, that helped to destroy our Constitutional Republic – our States were stripped of their representation in Congress. I contend that when the bankers took control of the monetary system in 1913 that was the beginning of their agenda to enslave us economically. I have numerous articles posted that address this. In the Constitution there is a provision to address impeachment of officers. Listen up South Dakota:
Article 11 Section 4. The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. (any thing done by the Congress to circumvent this is criminal – it’s still in the book.
What couldn’t be more criminal than violating our Constitution? For too long courageous U.S. citizens, having discovered the income tax laws didn’t apply to one’s wages and that the 16th Amendment was never ratified (true); the judicial system was the worst offender in obstructing citizens’ rights to be heard. Citizens were destroyed by the IRS, some died, imprisoned, families broken up – why? To protect the illegal system perpetrated by the International Bankers by corrupting elected representatives. Where was the protection of the rights of citizens – Judge O’Connor? Constitutional government? – I don’t think so.
The criminal behavior of judges towards citizens claiming constitutional rights was probably the main reason why there have been so many threats leveled against judges. Justice, in the courts for any challenge to the bankers’ system is non-existent. There have been many attempts by citizens to rein in the Federal Reserve but the judiciary prevents it. At this moment Representative Ron Paul (he should be president) has a bill in the House (H.R. 1207) calling for an audit of the fed. It has NEVER been audited. We’ll see how that goes – I won’t hold my breath. The bankers rule our country. Because of the corrupted Congress and White House banks were bailed out; not only in this country but also in Europe. That is costing us trillions of dollars – and there’s no accountability? Where is the justice – Judge O’Connor? Constitutional government? – I don’t think so.
Article 111 Section 1. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their service a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
She continues…“It is well worth remembering that, far more often than not in modern times, the judiciary has admirably performed these two vital tasks: checking the other two branches and protecting minority rights.”…end of article… It takes a high school dropout to remind judges of a constitutional right – imagine!
I want to believe that in our Founding Father’s wisdom, anticipating corruption by the Congress included the above Article 111 to guarantee the independency of judges from sources in and out of government (IRS) The 16th amendment led to creating a source to collect the money from citizens to pay for the interest accrued by the borrowing of government. Through the years the IRS has instilled fear in citizens, including judges. Many of the income tax laws passed by Congress are translated into rules and regulations by the IRS, sometimes with different meanings. It subverts the intent of Congress. By law the government, more specifically the IRS, has no legal authority to diminish a judges’ salary, let alone taxing our sweat. But that’s why the International Bankers invented communism – for control and to make money. How well, the controlled media and academia, have kept our people in the dark.
Most problems in our country may be placed at the doorstep of the three branches of what used to be a Constitutional Republic. And now, we are on the verge of becoming a full blown social/welfare State and the next step being communism. You have to give bankers credit for a job well done. And they were too dumb to know of the pending banking crisis? Bull-shit! They knew exactly what was happening. THEY SCREWED UP AND GOT THE CRIMINALS IN CONGRESS TO BAIL THEM OUT WITH OUR MONEY! Hundreds and hundreds of millions are missing folks and the Fed Chairman has just been reappointed. Fed Chairman Bernanke was asked in committee where is the money? His answer – “I don’t know.” You believe that?
In a 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, one judge makes a difference that affects all of the people. Constitutional government – Judge O’Connor? I don’t think so.
“The public welfare demands that constitutional cases must be decided according to the terms of our Constitution itself, and not according to judges’ views of fairness, reasonableness, or justice. I have no fear of constitutional amendments properly adopted, but I do fear the rewriting of the Constitution by judges under the guise of interpretation.” –Justice Hugo Black Columbus University – 1968
“I AM SORRY I ONLY HAVE ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”
(By Joseph Farah – syndicated columnist – Washington Times)
Italics are mine – Yesterday’s News Today
Among Barack Obama’s 34 unaccountable “czars” are at least two whose radical views should disqualify them from service in government at any level, let alone as top advisers to the president. But, then again, this is the Obama administration – one headed by a former “community organizer” for ACORN, the fraudulent, law-breaking street thugs determined to undermine the rule of law and the will of the people. (ACORN is getting billions in tax monies from this administration) Let’s take a closer look, though, at Mr. Obama’s choice for “science czar” and “green jobs czar.”
John Holdren, his pick as top science advisor, is a population-control zealot who believes the Constitution justifies compulsory abortions on a massive world-wide-scale. So much for the notion that radical abortion politics is ultimately about “choice.”
“A society that aborts the beginning of life is a society that hastens the end of life.” (thanks Mom, for being a conservative)
In 1977, in a book co-authored with Paul Ehrlich called “Eco-science: Population, Resources, Environment,” Mr. Holdren wrote: “There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated. It has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.” He even advocated a global police to keep population down.
“Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable,” Messrs. Holdren and Ehrlich wrote. “The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits […] The Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.” (Sounds like one-world government)
If you’re not scared and troubled and angry yet, consider that the author of those words was appointed director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and confirmed March 20 to assume the position known as “science czar.” Back in 1973, he said the U.S. population of 210 million was “too many.” The predicted population of 280 million in 2040 was perceived by him as “much too many.” American population has already exceeded 300 million. Thirty-five years ago, his goal was for America to reach zero population growth by the year 2000.
Mr. Holdren has made his career screaming like Chicken Little about one imminent catastrophe after another – none of which ever materializes, while he continued to be taken ever more seriously.
When hysteria about the “population bomb” failed to scare the public into accepting worldwide draconian totalitarian controls, he moved on to the idea that man-made carbon dioxide posed a global apocalypse. (Al Gore’s guru?) Way back in the 1980’s, he said environmental disasters would result in the deaths of 1 billion people by 2020. Three years ago, he claimed sea levels would rise by as much as 13 feet by 2010. Keep in mind there never was any science behind any of these claims. This was pure politics and extremist ideology driving unsubstantiated government power grabs. Next he called for a global tax on greenhouse gases in a report for the United Nations. (Cap and Trade Bill)
You might think Mr. Obama’s selection of czars couldn’t get any worse than Mr. Holdren. And, indeed, maybe they couldn’t. However, the man selected to be the “green jobs czar” certainly is at least equal. Van Jones, the special environmental adviser to the White House, has an equally checkered past deep-rooted in radical policies, including black nationalism, anarchism, and communism. (An example how the controlled press omits important information from the public)
He once founded a major “human rights center” named after a known socialist activist with close ties to the Weather Underground terrorist organization. The formerly self-described “rowdy black nationalist” served as president of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. Mr. Baker was an avowed socialist who worked closely with communist activists and participated in events close to the radical Weather Underground group. Mr. Baker was involved in the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee, which was the “legal” support network for the Weather Underground.
Mr. Jones himself was an admitted communist, explaining in 2005 that his environmental activism was simply a means to an end – the real goal being racial and class “justice.” “I’ll work with anybody, I’ll fight anybody if it will push our issues forward,” he told the left-leaning East Bay Express in a 2005 interview. “I’m willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.”
He was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. The leftist blog Machete 48 identifies STORM’S influences as “third-worldist Marxism (and often vulgar Maoism)
What is common denominator here between Messrs. Holdren, Jones and all the other radicals Mr. Obama is naming to top positions in the federal government?
They are not there to accomplish the stated missions of their assignments – namely goals like promoting good science policy and cleaning up the environment. They are there to subvert the American system. They are there to attack free enterprise. They are there to further their insidious radical and deadly agendas. And they are there to do all this on your dime…end of article
I think the following question answers it all – Who hired them? Secondly, how come Republicans aren’t raising hell EVERY DAY!? Our Executive Branch is being communized and the main stream media is being complicit. There are many other czars that have been appointed – what’s their background? Get on radio talk shows and ask the conservative hosts’ if they will do some digging. Also, ask your GOP representatives for information on the czars.
I refuse to believe one man can do so much damage to our country unimpeded. If there are unconstitutional shenanigans going on I demand that the Republicans in Congress start looking into the possibility of getting the U.S. Supreme Court involved – before President Pinocchio appoints another Justice. The thugs surrounding this administration must not be allowed to trample, spit, and violate our Constitution. Don’t be cowards – fight for your country – fight for the Constitution. And most importantly – fight for the future of your kids. The freedom loving people in the world are saddened by what appears to be Americans lying down too easily. Shame on us.
We must not slack off after the health debate is settled. We must demand that Congress stop spending us into oblivion. We must demand that our laws are respected. We must put a stop to legislation that is unconstitutional. We must call for investigations of radical organizations that are being funded by the White House. We must stop the White House from subverting the census process. Why aren’t lawyers (as a profession) ever questioned about their influence, nor legislation considered to curb their conflicts within the system? I’ll tell you why – politicians in Congress are corrupted and rotten to the core. We will never have tort reform. Term limits is the answer. ARE YOU LISTENING REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS? YOU DAMN SPINELESS COWARDS!
Lawyers help make law. (Legislative) Lawyers carryout the laws. (Executive) Lawyers interpret the laws. (Judiciary) There’s so much conflict – we should bar lawyers from the Congress. Oh well, where’s my six-pack.

Well, isn’t this interesting? The above questionnaire and much more may be found in a web site put together by Francis Rice, a courageous conservative American who reports current news and historical facts of Black Americans.
Did you know Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican? Jackie Robinson? Sammy Davis Jr.? and many more prominent Black Americans? You’ll discover this and much more once you visit her web site. (address below)
All our lives we’ve been led to believe that the Democratic Party was the party of the poor, downtrodden citizens in America. We weren’t aware, as we are now, the influence communists in our country have had in our society. They are masters at playing the race card. They infiltrated all our institutions. They have divided our country. They create turmoil between our people. We fight amongst ourselves – democrats against republicans; rich against the poor; whites against the blacks; blacks against whites; Mexicans against blacks and whites; blacks and whites against Mexicans. Media and the TV networks (most) are the ones that perpetuate the communist line – masters at dividing races for purpose of control. The welfare system has destroyed the sanctity of family. It has affected many but the ones who suffered the most were the blacks. This is the carrot dangled in front of the poor by the communist for the vote.
In previous articles I reported the rich invented communism; for control and to make money. The International Bankers, almost always, are behind domestic civil unrest promoted by their stooges – communists in government and in society. They divide and conquer. Socialism is a step before communism. This is what inventors of communism want. Can’t happen here? Wanna bet?
Show this report to your black friends. Go to the web site and learn for yourselves. We have been brainwashed, as in many other facets of our lives, by the anti-American forces in and out of government. My definition of a communist is anyone that is against our Constitution or votes against it in Congress. NO IF’s AND BUTS!
We have numerous representatives in the three branches of government with communistic leanings – especially in the present administration – but we have been too ignorant to discern the difference. WE MUST STOP COMMUNISM IN THE ELECTIONS OF 2010. Democrat voters, throw out the communists in the Democratic Party. They have fooled you. It won’t be easy – they’ve been at it since 1913 when “they” allowed the International Bankers to take control of our monetary system. I left the party recently – I got tired of their anti-American; anti-family; anti-Constitution; anti-religion policies…I love you America.

The following Democrats are the ones who planted the seed causing the economic chaos in our country. Because of “feel good” (liberalism) policies to garner votes that have backfired, future Americans will be settled with inflation, high taxes, and possibly civil unrest. Almost guaranteed under the present socialistic administration.
President Jimmy Carter: Jim Carter pushed for and signed into law the Community Reinvestment Act which forced banks to lower their standards so that previously unqualified people could get a mortgage.
Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton then double-downed on the Community Reinvestment Act and greatly lowered mortgage standards to allow a lot more unqualified borrowers to get loans.
Bill Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno: Intimidated banks with threats of legal action if they did not give loans to unqualified borrowers who would not have the income to pay the loans back. (She was responsible for the murder of almost 100 people, including women and children in Waco, Texas. Shame on America for allowing this despicable servant to get away with it.)
Franklin Raines: Was a member of the Clinton administration. He was put in charge of Fannie Mae by Clinton. Fannie Mae bought up a majority of the bad loans made by the banks to unqualified borrowers. Raines then falsified Fannie Mae financial reports so he could collect bonuses which totaled over $90 million for 5 years. I read that he paid a $31 million fine. Big deal. That leaves $60 million and no indictment? Not when the Democrats control.
Senator Chris Dodd: Head of the Senatorial Financial Committee, suppressed efforts by President Bush and Congressional Republicans to reign in the corruption of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Senator Dodd got a very favorable loan by a bank associated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He got large political campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Barney Frank: Head of the House of Representatives Banking Committee, also suppressed efforts by President Bush and Congressional Republicans to investigate corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I read where these people had been warned 17 times by the Bush administration.
Barack Obama (President Pinocchio): While he was an attorney, filed lawsuits against banks on behalf of ACORN (under investigation by 11 to 12 States for voter fraud) in order to force banks to give loans to people who could not afford to pay them back. Obama, while he was a U.S. Senator, also suppressed efforts by President Bush and Republican Congressmen to investigate and reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
All of them are still together - watching our money!??
So much for the “Hall of Shame” roster. Someone should take this thought and begin a list of inductees to this Hall of Political Shame.
SOCIALISM, NOT CAPITALISM CAUSED THE BAD ECONOMY
It is also being falsely publicized by President Pinocchio and the Democrats that the sub-prime mortgage collapse which caused the bad economy was caused by the failure of capitalism. The sub-prime mortgage collapse was caused by the failure of socialism, not capitalism. Forcing banks to give loans to people who cannot afford to pay them back is socialism, not capitalism. Everyone wants to help the poor, but socialism does not work to accomplish that. President Pinocchio and the Democrats have not yet imposed full blown socialism, but, they are coming close.
I contend that we were socialized many years ago. The question I raise in when does communism begin? I know beyond any doubt that our monetary system is administered under the 2nd – 4th – 5th plank of the communist manifesto –. As a matter of fact – we ARE communized. Look up the communist manifesto in the internet and inform yourselves. Why hasn’t it been totaled? Because you still have your gun rights. That’s what your second amendment means. But once they disarm you – that’s when it’ll be all over. It is the communists in and out of politics that want to take your guns away – not the Republicans. The ACLU is the worst offender…they are a communist organization. Local government entities tremble in dealing with the ACLU – TELL THEM TO GO TO HELL – YOU COWARDS!
Socialism makes 98% of the citizens poor while the 1% socialist government rulers are rich and live in luxury. Yes, socialism works for the rulers, but, not for the citizens. Obama and the Democrats know this, but they don’t care about the citizens; they care about themselves, gaining permanent power and life of luxury. (too bad our people are so ignorant and apathetic, they don’t understand the importance of term limits. Wouldn’t it be nice to see public servants out of office after a term or two?)
If socialism worked, the USSR would be the most prosperous nation on earth. The USSR no longer exists. If socialism worked, Cuba (praised by a caucus of the House of Representatives after a visit there.) and North Korea would be the most prosperous nations on earth. But, the average Cuban worker makes $30 a month – compared to $4000 a month by a U.S. worker and the North Korean is starving. Meanwhile, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-11 live a life of luxury.
Because of Obama’s and Democrat’s socialist policies, millions of Americans have lost their jobs or have taken large pay cuts. Thousands of companies have gone out of business or are going through bankruptcy. Millions of Americans have lost most of their retirement savings and most of their wealth due to investment issues. (Let’s not forget the wild spending and expansion of government by Bush and the GOP. But remember, it is the Congress that controls the money – not presidents)
Meanwhile, Barack and Michelle Obama’s wealth has skyrocketed and they live a life of luxury. The Obama’s throw lavish parties on a regular basis at the White House for their socialist friends. These parties include flying in Kobe beef from Japan which costs over $100 per pound. Michelle Obama wears designer clothes to these parties which cost thousands of dollars. These exorbitant parties cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Yes, socialism is great – for the socialist government rulers, not for you…end of article

All presidents live like kings. What they wear or eat, how much they spend, is their business. YOU are the ones responsible for elevating ALL public servants in Washington D.C. to something they shouldn’t be – royalty! Imagine shutting down the Grand Canyon because of a president’s visit. Or Congress spending hundreds of millions to buy jets to ride in style. Who says crime doesn’t pay?
DEMOCRATS! MAIN STREAM MEDIA! COMMUNISTS/SOCIALISTS IN OUR COUNTRY! BUSH IS NOT THE PRESIDENT ANYMORE. IT IS YOU THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PERPETUATING THE ECONOMIC MESS! … THE SLEEPING GIANT IS AWAKENING – IT’S ABOUT TIME!
There are two bills pending you should look up:
The House has already passed this (Hate Crimes) and now is in the Senate. S.909. This is thought control, a direct violation of Freedom of Speech – First Amendment.
The second one is:
Senate Bill 787 – Clean Water Restoration Act: Would federalize all waterways, including creeks on private property. Governments in history have used this to confiscate private property – ask the Chinese people what happened under Mao.
I keep reminding you that no Act or Statute can change or alter anything in your Constitution that is not in harmony with it. You are the only ones who may change the Constitution via Article 5 – the Amendment process. Any elected representative that votes contrary to what your Constitution says is a criminal against the state. We MUST demand accountability!
“I AM SORRY I HAVE ONLY ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY.”

An Arizona man who claimed the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination on his 1040 tax forms was acquitted in late March of the three counts of willful failure to file federal income tax returns:
AMENDMENT V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Robert Terrell, a dentist of Pinetop, Arizona., who has been doing battle with the IRS for 20 years, faced a possible sentence of three years in federal prison and more than $30,000 in fines if convicted. But he sent the IRS packing when a four-man, eight-women jury returned a verdict of not guilty after a mere 40 minutes of deliberation. The trial itself lasted five days. (this is called “jury nullification,” the system keeps people ignorant of this. Scroll through this site and you’ll find articles explaining the jury and grand jury systems)
“I feel fantastic,” Terrell told The Justice Times in an interview from his Pinetop office, nestled in Arizona’s White Mountains. “When the jury returned the verdict, my family cried, and even some of the jury members cried.” Terrell said he has refused for many years to answer questions on his tax returns, but files them nonetheless. “I wrote in ‘Object: Fifth Amendment’ in lieu of answering questions,” he said.
His defense at the trial centered on his belief that taxpayers have the right to withhold information on tax returns if they feel the information could be used by the IRS against them. The belief is well-founded. Numerous U.S. Supreme Court decisions recognize such a right – if it is exercised properly. The court has upheld the right because the IRS can give taxpayers’ personal information to most agencies in federal and state governments and even to foreign governments with whom the U.S. has tax treaties.
Those governments may use the information in civil and criminal proceedings. This poses risks to taxpayers, especially those who are politically active, who are vocal in criticism of government, and especially those who challenge the powers of the IRS, like Robert Terrell. Terrell said he learned the process of claiming the Fifth Amendment on tax returns from a Mesa, Arizona, “constitutionalist,” Marvin Cooley. (A giant in the freedom movement of yesterday)
Cooley tutored Terrell through many a haggle with IRS officials. “That’s what made my defense – about 20 years of background.” Another group that helped Terrell prepare is the Golden Mean Team of Missoula, Montana. (Most freedom fighting organizations of that era do not exist anymore) The preparation paid off. The federal prosecution came last year in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. But Terrell says it was the other way around. “What actually happened was that we prosecuted the IRS,” he said. “We used their witnesses to make our case.”
Terrell used only two witnesses when it came time for his lawyers to present his defense, himself and one character witness. He established that he was an innocent citizen who believed he had rights as a taxpayer and that one of those rights was to withhold information from the IRS. (Bless our founding fathers – how brilliant they were.)
After taking the stand, Terrell testified of his fear that the IRS agents would use his answers on his tax returns against him in some way. To show a foundation of his belief, he submitted as evidence articles from Reader’s Digest that expose the abuse of power by the IRS.
“Today, evidence from all over the country discloses that the IRS has bullied, degraded and crushed innocent citizens in the name of collecting taxes,” one of the articles reads. “Here, revealed by men who themselves work for the IRS, are examples of the vicious pressures which degrade tax agents and taxpayers alike, too often making a mockery of our faith in justice and fair play.”
Another reads, “You may be innocent, but that doesn’t always stop the IRS from attaching your salary, seizing your property and damaging your reputation.” (The IRS does this criminally by using the 4th plank of the communist manifesto that allows government to go after “rebels” and “dissidents.” And the courts? Most times allow this to go on. This is what happens when government subverts our Constitution. They MUST protect the illegal system of the powers that rule our country – the bankers!)
4th plank communist manifesto: Confiscate all property of emigrants and rebels (anyone who speaks out against the government)
Having read Terrell testify about his belief, and about the articles, the jury had the opportunity to read the articles themselves; little wonder they reached agreement on a not guilty verdict in only 40 minutes. The acquittal was a blow to IRS’ efforts in quelling the nation’s tax revolt. Other recent setbacks for the tax collectors include a mistrial in the case of Thomas C. Reeves of Paducah, Ky. Reeves was tried in January on three counts of tax evasion, but the jury was deadlocked, 9 to 3, in favor of acquittal. Reeves faces re-trial on May 16.
But Robert Terrell is through worrying about criminal penalties. However, he does expect the IRS to pursue his case civilly. “I don’t expect them to leave me alone,” he said. “I have already paid them a lot of money, and they will probably try to take more.”…end of article
There have been many court victories against the IRS but they are never publicized by the media as much as they display sensational stories about celebrities being indicted for income tax problems. This is how they instill fear in people. The main stream media is dominated by socialists/communists who do the bidding of the elite in this country. Look at the attack on American citizens for speaking out against the socialist health agenda that’s riddled with falsehoods. It is not a health plan it is a power grab by the Democrats. President Pinocchio has no shame in standing before the cameras and lying about the contents in the legislation that he’s never read.
Can you imagine, voting on legislation by Congress and White House none of them have read? Look at the confrontation these criminals in Congress are faced with in town hall meetings. Some of them are cowards – won’t even show up. And the networks news and print media are just as guilty in their attacks against citizens exercising their first amendment rights – which the media doesn’t care about.
The tax rebels of a few years back informed themselves of constitutional rights – rights, that we should have learned in schools but because government controls our schools (10th plank communist manifesto) we are kept ignorant. It was newspapers like the Justice Times that educated thousands of concerned citizens. Unfortunately, many of these newspapers cease to exist. There are some new ones around but not as widespread as the Justice Times was. But because of their commitment and dedication they left a ton of information that will live forever.
Most of the articles I use come from the Justice Times; articles written years ago. Twenty years from now they will still make sense. Funny thing about truth – it never dies.
Knowing your rights is not a guarantee for justice. There have been many cases where people armed with years of knowledge failed to convince many jurors because of the ignorance of jurors and the collusion between the IRS and judges. It is a system designed to deny and subvert any legitimate constitutional questions brought forth as a defense in a trial. There have been instances where people in tax trials have been held in contempt for attempting to use the Constitution in the courtroom as evidence.
What citizens did, defeating amnesty legislation recently, and the showing of force this time against the phony health plan is indicative of the power we posses when we act in unison against the criminals in Congress. I don’t blame the presidents’ as much as I blame criminals in Congress – after all – they control the purse strings. But when you have one party controlling the Congress and White House with total power, and a party loaded with socialists/communists – watch out!…WE MUST THROW OUT MANY DEMOCRATS IN NEXT YEARS ELECTIONS. Republicans aren’t as bad, although there are a few that don’t belong in the GOP but overall when was the last time Republicans legislated socialism? I know, I know, the GOP is for the rich the communists say, I’d much rather have tax cuts for the rich (they create jobs – I’m poor, I don’t) than to have my money wasted on the welfare system that is a total failure. But that’s what the bankers have wanted since 1913 – and your elected representatives are the ones that have delivered.
People – throw out of Washington those in both parties that disobey YOUR Constitution. Conservatism is not a party. It is an idea that works. It is the communists/socialists in the information industry, as well as in academia, that has convinced many in our country that conservatism is evil. President Bush wasn’t a conservative. Secondly, many Republicans, not conservatives in Congress allowed Bush to rule like a liberal. He was a one-world government stooge like his dad. And because of this onslaught by the press President Pinocchio was elected. Now he is proving to be the worst ever – thanks Republicans! Nevertheless, I love you America.
