The Obama Deception

What interesting things are happening in the world these days? Well, for starters there is an excellent movie out called The Obama Deception , that you can see in 12 parts, over at You Tube.  A must see, for anyone who wants to know some of what is going on with our new “president”(?), and those he is connected to.

Criminalization of The Honorable American

Along the same lines as the above, is an article entitled “Americans Denounced As Terrorists While Criminals Embraced“. This is an interesting piece regarding Virginia’s take on ‘terrorist’ threat assessment. Do not think these perceptions are only limited to the state of Virginia, indeed they are the basis for many governmental acts occurring during this time period.

“The report smears anyone who is “anti-government,” “anti-abortion,” as potential terrorists, equates people who enjoy rifle shooting practice and hunting with terrorists, and demonizes the use of the Internet and websites like You Tube, Fark and Slashdot as terrorist tools. The use of “e-protests” is also talked about in the context of terrorism.”

Tired of Blocked Phone Numbers?

I had a pleasant surprise today, when I inadvertently came across this wonderful site called TrapCall. This YouTube video shows how blocked numbers can be unblocked with TrapCall, and reveal the number of those calling. I tried out their free service today, and it actually works! In the FAQ it stated those using T-mobile and some other services could not use this service, depending on various factors. I was supposedly one of those people who could not use the service, as I am on T-mobile’s family plan, but it seems to work just fine for me! I would seriously give it a try!

Growing Your Own Food Illegal?

Here is an article regarding the proposed Congressional Bill HR 875, which would place restrictions on small farmers to the point that organic foods would be virtually illegal, and perhaps, even small farming itself.  These regulations are proposed by such corporations as Monsanto, who would rather you follow their guidelines, rather than nature’s. This bill would pose a great danger to the American food supply. Be sure to read all the way through the page, as Dr. Mercola covers a lot of areas regarding the implications of this bill, such as:

• It includes small farmers who just sell their fruits and vegetables at farmer’s markets
• Anyone engaged in food growing, or “holding food for consumption” in the U.S. would have to register annually, and create and maintain extensive records of the foods they grow and/or store
• The definitions of who this law pertains to are so broad and loosely defined that they could potentially even include your personal backyard fruit or vegetable garden, even if you don’t sell anything but grow them for personal consumption.

What Are They Doing In Iraq?

About two weeks ago, I was hitchhiking to a club, and was picked up by one of the local military. He had just recently returned from Iraq, and was going to be returning in about a month. He told me that before he left, they were physically limited to their camps, and were not allowed to leave their military compounds. Prior to this he said they left and traveled about daily, which of course was the reason for the death of so many American soldiers. Now he said, since they were not allowed to go anywhere, recent deaths were down to three, all due to misuse of weapons, or “stupidity” as he put it. He said it was quite difficult, not being able to leave the compound, and had no idea why he was returning…or why America is even there.  According to his report, there is absolutely nothing going on. Wow, all that money to let soldier’s sit on their asses, with nothing to do…amazing.

And Now For the Good News…

Some would not call this good news, but I find it to be quite liberating. Phoenix police have tried to take down a blogger and his friends, but have it seems only dug themselves a deeper hole.  Jeff Pataky, the blogger in question, says, “We have about 50 to 100 retired and active cops who provide us information.” His blog,  BadPhoenix Cops, led police to confiscate “three computers, routers, modems, hard drives, memory cards and everything necessary to continue blogging.”
