Chapter 1: Introduction

To look at the title one could get the impression that the author is a pessimist. For surely, a thousand is a sizeable number and most 'positive' books deals with far smaller numbers, like 'Lose weight in 14 days' etc. My intent is neither to be positive nor negative, but rather to be objective. For I am a firm believer in what might be a maxim; 'Correctly identifying the problem is half the solution'. So if we can correctly identify the problem, we are half way home. Consider the identification of the problems as the first steps in a long journey. A few caveats before we start. You may or may not agree with my list, which may lead you to question the synergistic effects I present. The underlying pathology that I discuss may give you pause. That's as it should be, so verify what is presented by doing your own research. My agenda is for standing up for personal liberty and basic human rights. The list appears in no particular order or rank, but don't take that to mean that all the problems are equal in complexity or severity. Also, bear in mind that the list is not exhaustive, but rather representative.  
In order for us to get America back on track we first need to ask, what is America? A simple answer is the land and its people. The land is self explanatory, but the notion of people is complex indeed. We are more than organic creatures, we are our hopes, dreams, relations and actions. According to Harry Browne, "America's uniqueness rested on three pillars.  
The Bill of Rights  
The first is the concept that government is limited to a few specific, clearly defined functions. The Bill of Rights makes this clear. The 9th and 10th amendments specify that the federal government may not do anything that isn't spelled out in the Constitution.  
Voluntary Association  
The Bill of Rights frees you to engage in any kind of activity you want with consenting adults, provided you don't forcibly impose upon the person or property of others.  
The Free Market  
Voluntary association produces the free market - where each person can choose among a multitude of possibilities. The free market empowers the most effective regulator in the world - you."

As the Declaration of Independence so eloquently states in the second paragraph:  
'WE hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their **Creator** with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness --'  
Not a lot of words there, but loaded with meaning. There are many that argue that these United States are a secular kind of organization, but the inclusion of the word 'Creator' and the term 'Nature's God' in the opening paragraph, coupled with '..by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of **our Lord** one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven..' in article VII of the Constitution, would certainly call that notion into question. The beauty of all this is that when the 1st amendment to the Constitution states, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof', all men are placed on equal footing in this new nation with recognized rights. That is a powerful idea and most certainly a beacon to repressed people everywhere. The 'American Dream' if you will. The idealists who have become cynics will tell you that you have to be asleep to believe it, but I would disagree. The idea still lives in the hearts and minds of Americans and probably people the world over in general. Together in a spirit of cooperation we can get America back on track, right the wrongs in the interests of justice, search out the truth, dispel the lies that keep us hobbled and to become again that beacon of light for the people the world over.

Chapter 2 - International Regulatory

1)The UN through Codex Alimentarius should have no business telling me what vitamins and minerals I can have or what food additives I have to put up with and the:  
2) Congress has no right/power/authority to enter into any international agreements to do so.  
3) NAFTA's acronym should be SHAFTA, because that is what regular people north and south of the border are getting. NAFTA uses 2400 pages to define 'free trade' while it could be described by an elementary school student in 2 sentences.  
4) As originators and signatories of the Nuremberg Protocols and Geneva Conventions, government officials who violate them need to be treated as the war criminals they are.  
5) Depleted Uranium munitions are somebody's idea of a way to make money off nuclear waste. It is a misnomer in that there is nothing depleted about it. Plain and simple, they are radioactive and violate the Geneva conventions.  
6) The North American Union is another abomination you don't hear much about. Just another approach to undermine the national sovereignty of the United States. It was promoted by President George W. Bush a few years ago as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and started to stir up trouble so the powerz backed off a bit. The North American Union (NAU) is still very much in the works. Just what Americans need is to have politicians from Ottawa and Mexico City deciding what kinds of taxes we will be responsible for, eh amigo?  
7) Enough with carbon credits crap. I see where this is going and at this rate I will be taxed for exhaling carbon dioxide or need a permit to breath.  
8) Agenda 21- UN initiative to ultimately control all the land allowing for no private ownership. Sustainability, Smart growth, Smart Cities, Biodiversity, non-human habitat zones, land use codes, and Going Green are all terms supplied by the UN to give people the warm and fuzzies while they slowly strip you (through a compliant congress and presidency) of your rights and sovereignty. One more step towards globalism.  
9) Wetlands - Local designations for a facet of the UN Agenda 21 program.  
10) Sanctuarys - Different facet of the same Agenda 21 program.  
11) International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) - Local Governments for Sustainability Communities pay ICLEI dues to provide "local" community plans, software, training, etc. Additional groups include American Planning Council, The Renaissance Planning Group, International City/ County Management Group, aided by US Mayors Conference, National Governors Association, National League of Cities, National Association of County Administrators and many more private organizations and official government agencies. Foundation and government grants drive the process. The UN Agenda 21 in action at the local level.

Chapter 3 - Corporations

12) Genetically modified foods are not something I want to eat. Ingesting prions made by blasting plant cells with a gene gun is not something I want to have to consider every time I need to eat.  
13) Monsanto - First with PCB's, then Agent Orange and last but not, least GMO's. No wonder they have to advertise at DisneyWorld. How else would they be able to maintain such a great image? Have to do it in fantasy land because that stuff doesn't fly in the real world. They are trying to become the only seed producer in the world by producing terminator seeds (seeds of seeds which are sterile), which impacts 80% of the farms worldwide since they rely on seed saving.  
14) Eisenhower warned of the Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC) in 1961. Shouldn't we begin to listen already?  
15)RIAA  
16) Viacom – One of the big six media giants who just can't manage to get the truth out.  
17) GE - their malfunctions are legion. As owners of NBC, they peddle propaganda. As a military contractor, they reap tremendous profits from war. Their slogan 'They bring good things to life' may be true in some cases, but mercury filled fluorescents isn't one of them. Mercury is a huge hazard to living things.  
18) Blackwater - Or Xe (whatever their latest name is). Just what the American people do not need is a private army answering only to the executive branch. Another standing army.....  
19) General Motors -Before the bail-out they were never going to have a profitable quarter. Makes sense; I'll never buy another new car from them. Had a car that was 5 years old and needed a dealer part...not available, that is a messed up business model. Sure, take the bail-out money and maybe buy some land down in Paraguay ( next to the 100000 acres GW has) for the chief executives and then close up shop. Last I heard they were taking bail-out money and investing it in..wait for it....Brazil. Apparently, they lose about $49000 for every Volt they sell. They build Cadillacs in China and some of their factories continued doing business with the Nazis even after the USofA formally declared war. They fudge their sales numbers by stuffing inventory to their dealers. Time for another bail-out.  
20) ATT - You suck. Spy on your customers for the NSA. Bye-bye.  
21) Verizon - Ditto.  
22) Hollywood as purveyors of propaganda.  
23) NBC – Owned by GE.  
24) CBS Corporation – Another one of the top six media giants. Same old same old. Went so far as to fake an exploding gas tank on a Chevy pick up truck years ago on a segment of their '60 Minutes' program.  
25) ABC – Owned by The Walt Disney Co.  
26) Lockheed Martin - In 1970 Lockheed was on the verge of bankruptcy despite being the largest defense contractor. A bailout plan was engineered by Treasury Secretary John B. Connally, which provided $400 million in credit and an additional $250 million in loans. By 1977, Lockheed had 'paid' it back through taxpayer funded gov't contracts.  
27) Northrup Grumman  
28) SAIC – Up to their armpits in spook and military stuff.  
29) Economic Hit Men  
30) CACI – Abu Ghraib torture victims were allowed to sue. Unfortunately, the US Court of Appeals ruled that "CACI did in fact fall under US military chain of command and thus had government contractor immunity."  
31) Titan/L-3  
32) Booz Allen Hamilton – Majority owned by Carlyle Group.  
33) Bechtel – An engineering consulting firm which John Perkins describes as an agent in a quiet conspiracy. They are direct recipients of funds when the economic hitmen target countries.  
34) KBR - Allow the rape of their women contractors in Iraq.  
35) Halliburton – where to start with this one? Dick Cheney is always a good place. This company has made huge profits from the engineered wars. Fraud, waste and abuse is what they do. One Halliburton employee told the story of equipment shipped to Iraq in the form of trucks that came with no engine oil in them. Ran them until they blew up, scrapped them and got new ones, all on the American taxpayer's dime. Wow.  
36) Google - If it was started using seed money from the CIA and they index and catalogue and store everything, isn't that a little disconcerting when you think about it? StreetView is a major invasion of privacy and a giant data gathering operation.  
37) Microsoft - As much as they helped make desktop computers for everybody a reality, including an NSA backdoor in their crypto API (used in all 'secure' communications since Windows NT) is a little over the top.  
38) Carlyle Group – Just look at the names associated with this group.  
39) Mobil (now ExxonMobil) - For telling a subsidiary named Solarex to stagnate development of solar cell technology.  
40) Polydimethylsiloxane - Pizza Hut is using this silicone-based chemical as a stabilizer for cheese in their pizza. All other products that contain not for human consumption stuff.  
41) S&P – Just another casino like Dow Jones, where the house always wins.  
42) Dow Jones – As a stock index, they are indicative of nothing. Buying a share of the Dow Jones in September 2000 would make you a loser September 2011. Adjusting for inflation would make you a big loser. They move underperforming stocks out of the index and add others thus muddying the picture.  
43) Moodys – as a ratings agency, they are way behind the curve.  
44) MBIA  
45) Ambac – Bond guarantor like AIG and MBIA, got involved in Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and has been going down since.  
46) Derivatives  
47) Mortgage Back Securities (MBS)  
48) Collateral Debt Obligations (CDO)  
49) Special Investment Vehicle (SIV)  
50) AOL Time Warner – One of the top six media giants.  
51) Raytheon  
52) UBS - And all the others (Citigroup, Banc of American Securities, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan. Lehman Brothers, and Deutsche) who as of Sept 2007 rated GM as a 'buy' despite the fact that GM was going to have huge losses the next two quarters. Which proves that Wall Street's only function is to transfer wealth from Main Street to itself.  
53) American Airlines & United Airlines – Their planes were used on 9/11. Some people in those organizations know something and it isn't the lowly ticket counter agents.  
54) Gmail – Google's foray into the email domain. They store everything ever written/sent for as long as electricity exists, all the while indexing and cross categorizing it all to build a profile of every user.  
55) Dyncorp – Has sprayed glyphosate(Roundup) on coca plants from the air, implicated in human trafficking in Bosnia and elsewhere and has helicopter gunships. Nice wholesome company.  
56) Archer Daniels Midland – More than 43% of their profits are from heavily subsidized or government protected markets. Big into High Fructose Corn Syrup and end up costing Americans tens of billions of dollars annually.  
57) BellSouth – One of the phone companies allowing the NSA to illegally wiretap Americans.  
58) Diebold – Rigging voting machines.  
59) Chrysler - First the taxpayers bail them out, then the Germans buy them and end up dumping them because they suck. Honestly, why are Toyota and Honda able to produce quality products and Chrysler can't? Chrysler has been in business longer and still can't do it. Just disappear like American Motors, DeSoto, Nash and Studebaker already, please! And take GM with you.  
60) Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone(rBGH) in milk and the three people at the FDA responsible for its approval (Michael Taylor, Margaret Miller and Susan Sechen) who had all worked at or for Monsanto (manufacturer of rBGH) prior. RBGH is not allowed in the European Union.  
61) In-Q-Tel - CIA venture arm, they supply money to various companies with no strings attached?? Right. I know, I know, the spooks need to have state of the art spook gadgets. All innocuous and above board just like their instant cancer producers, heart attack guns and LSD laced cigars.  
62) Stanford Research Institute – Got grants from the USDA, Office of Naval Research, Air Force and funding for remote viewing from the CIA.  
63) Kleiner Perkins – Co-investor with In-Q-Tel and funded Endgame Systems with the CIA.  
64) DTC & DTCC - Apparently every securities transaction goes through them.  
65) Clear Channel – Owned by Bain Capital and hosts shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. A most unimpressive bunch.  
66) General Dynamics  
67) Cost Plus - What a boondoggle for corporations that manage to get those kinds of contracts. At taxpayer expense of course.  
68) DOW chemical, Bayer, Dupont, Sygenta  
69) ConAgra – In 2002 spent money to defeat Oregon Ballot Measure 27 which would have required labeling of products containing GM. Tell we again why this is even remotely allowed.  
70) Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) – Another modern day concept. If for example I'm the CEO of a company producing products which I know will kill people, am I not responsible? Should I be allowed to commit a crime, reap the 'benefits' and not suffer the consequences? I say no. Just to be clear here, I am not suggesting we get obsessive about this thing. If for example I make hammers, I know that given a certain set of circumstances, a hammer blow can be fatal. Should I be able to be sued/tried in criminal court for the misuse of a hammer I produced? Absolutely not.  
71) Facebook - Another data collection tool for the authorities. Tell me again, why I would want to have a conversation with a sock puppet, which a substantial percentage of facebook 'users' are purported to be.  
72) Pfizer - When Pfizer was recently found guilty of felony crimes, the government allowed it to create a shell company to take the hit so that Pfizer itself could remain in business and keep selling drugs to the government. (http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/04/02/pfizer.bextra/index.html)  
73) Carrier IQ - The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and accuses Carrier IQ, three wireless carriers, and four handset makers of violating the Federal Wiretap Act, the Stored Electronic Communications Act, and the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.  
74) Multinational Corporations  
From Activist Post by Susan Jennings Friday, February 10, 2012  
"As we delve deeper into world control, more information arises that helps us understand the current global situation. Many people are unaware of the interconnectedness between the largest global companies.  
Eighty percent of the world's wealth appears to be earned by a "core" of 1,318 corporations, which in turn are being controlled by only 147 companies. Seventy-five percent of these companies are financial institutions -- and the top companies on the list are the Federal Reserve banks.  
The Federal Reserve created 26 to 29 trillion dollars' worth of bailouts for their own companies between 2007 and 2010. This was revealed in their own audit statements, and confirmed by United States Congressmen and prominent financial analysts. (Source) Please note that the Federal Reserve, created in 1913, is a private corporation controlled by international bankers. "  
"The Supreme Court January 21st, 2010 decision on the Citizens United versus the Federal Election Commission, gave corporations, legal entities with no human attributes, the same constitutional free speech rights as humans."  
75) Disney World - Fingerprinting people to gain access.  
76) Busch Gardens & Water Country USA - For gathering more of your personal data using HandEScan.  
77) GM-OnStar - If your GM vehicle has Onstar, the Terms of Service (TOS) explicitly states that it will continue to record and collect your data even after you cancel your service. Originally, the TOS stated that OnStar could only collect information on your vehicle's location during a theft recovery or while sending emergency services to you. Now, OnStar says that it has the right to collect and sell supposedly anonymous personal information on your vehicle, including speed, location, seat belt usage and more.  
78) British Petroleum (BP) – The fiasco in the Gulf of Mexico with the gusher (which was not a spill) and the spraying of Corexit to hide the effects was despicable. America should no longer do business with them.  
79) MF Global in general and Jon S. Corzine in particular - Corzine was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MF Global Holdings Ltd. $1.2 billion of customer money came up missing and Jon just doesn't know where it went. His 20 year stint as chairman and senior partner at.. wait for it.. Goldman Sachs, coupled with his government career as both senator and governor of New Jersey, shows to have been adequate training for his continued criminal behavior.

Chapter 4 - NGO's, Think Tanks, & PACs

80) AIPAC - Gotta go.  
81) USAID - Spook central.  
82) Project for a New American Century (PNAC) – Bringing more Pearl Harbors to America just when the oligarchs need them most.  
83) American Enterprise Institute (AEI)  
84) Cato Institute - I don't like pseudo-libertarian establishment apologists. Why don't you change your name to Quisling?  
85) Heritage Foundation  
86) The NRA for being an enabling organization. Join JPFO or GOA instead.  
87) Private Equity Firms -Private is fine, when colluding with gov't or gse's etc., that's fascism.  
88) National Endowment for Democracy (NED)  
Included on NED's Board of Directors:  
Francis Fukuyama (CFR): Neo-Con, Project for a New American Century (PNAC) signatory, pro-war. See all his connections at:  
http://theyrule.net.  
Zalmay Khalilzad (CFR): Neo-Con PNAC signatory, Director at RAND, original PNAC member. He also worked with Brzezinski during the Carter presidency. Pro-war + corporate lobbyist.  
Will Marshall: Neo-Con PNAC signatory, pro-war.  
Vin Weber: Neo-Con PNAC signatory, board member of Aspen Institute, pro-war + corporate lobbyist.  
Richard Gephardt (CFR): pro-war, corporate lobbyist for big-pharma, Boeing & Ford Motor Co.  
John Bohn(CFR): petrochemicals, corporate consultant & international banker for 13 years.  
Rita DiMartino (CFR): AT&T "Vice President of Congressional Relations".  
Kenneth Duberstein (CFR): Boeing, ConocoPhillips, Mack-Cali Realty, Fannie Mae.  
William Galston: Brookings Institution.  
Moises Naim: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.  
Larry Liebenow: US Chamber of Commerce (a chief proponent of SOPA), Center for International Private Enterprise.  
Patricia Friend: AFL-CIO (a proponent of SOPA)  
89) Republican International Institute  
90) ADL – Defamation is one thing, trying to squash the truth is another.  
91) Southern Poverty Law Center - A vile organization that was hip-deep as a partner to the FBI in PATCON .  
92) JINSA – Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, say what?  
93) Council For National Policy (CNP) – Supposedly a conservative group to counter the CFR. On the surface it sounds ok, but I wouldn't be involved with any group that has as members, Pat Robertson, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft or Oliver North. CNP members have taken $millions from Rev. Sun Myung Moon.  
94) The Nature Conservancy (TNC) - It is suspect because while Paulson was CEO of Goldman-Sachs he was also chairman of TNC.  
95) Human Rights Watch (HRW) - Is linked to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).  
96) Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) – Perhaps started with the best of intentions (what is the road to hell paved with?) and ultimately abandoned by the founder because of what it had become.  
97) The Rockefeller Foundation - The principle source for funding public opinion and psychological warfare research between the late 1930s and the end of World War Two.

Chapter 5 - Federal

98) The Department of Defense has next to nothing to do with defense and everything to do with offense. The multi-trillion dollar department resources were unable/unwilling to stop the attacks of September 11th 2001, and then lied about it to the 9/11 Commission. Life is not a football game neatly divided into an offensive unit, defensive unit and specialty teams. If however, you are willing to throw morals, ethics and principles out the window then maybe the whole world can be looked at as a 'grand chessboard' ala Zbigniew Brzezinski, ya think?  
99) The mass murder of people at Waco on April 19th 1992 and the subsequent cover-up. Again, their constitutional and natural rights were violated when they were murdered by agents of the federal government. Justice was thrown under the bus that day.  
100) The Department of Justice, which is supposed to see to justice, administer justice, see that justice is served isn't performing its function. - "Find out just what the people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." ~ Frederick Douglas (1857)  
101) The attorney general is now avoiding issues like 'torture' in the interests of his superior. Though the way I understood it was that 'no man was above the law'.  
102) The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is in bed with big Pharma and will 'allow' me to ingest other chemicals once I get a prescription from my doctor approved by the American Medical Association. The FDA should not have any say in what I ingest. They are perfectly okay with the 128000 deaths in 2011 from prescription medicines (according to their own 'serious adverse events' database). It's also wrong that they were railroading and strong-arming Dr. Burzynski for years even though he was curing terminal cancer patients. The fact that the FDA can force producers to withhold information on their labels relating to health benefits is absurd. Cherries according to some people have analgesic (pain relieving) properties, but because the FDA or a pharmaceutical company hasn't conducted clinical trials, then no mention of possible health benefits are allowed on the label.  
103) The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is another piece of work that feels has jurisdiction of the sky.  
104) The Federal Emergency management Administration (FEMA) is/was a hindrance to the Hurricane Katrina relief workers trying to help the victims. The camps they are creating come with ovens I assume?  
105) The Coast Guard shouldn't be cutting up US citizens' boats for any reason. Searching and detaining US Citizens for guns/drugs in unconstitutional.  
106) The Border Patrol should not be hassling US Citizens entering the country. As an agency of the Federal Government which is charged with securing my rights, they should be welcoming me back with a smile and not with threats of body cavity searches.  
107) The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has no constitutional authority to operate at all.  
108) The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) should not be attempting to produce insect/robots or terminator types.  
109) Continuity of Government (COG) is not a good plan. It is not constitutional. It is also unwise to continue on with a plan that failed for whatever reason.  
110) A standing army was frowned upon by many of the framers. From a purely economic standpoint it is a drain on society. It produces nothing. The debacle in Iraq has cost trillions of dollars. Sure, military contractors have made money and the rest of us have been impoverished. Bastiat's 'Broken Window Fallacy' writ large. If destruction is such a boom to the economy why not flatten say, Chicago, and rebuild it from the ground up. Think of the jobs.  
111) Presidential signing statements are not mentioned in the constitution.  
112) Executive orders are not mentioned in the constitution.  
113) Legislating from the bench, also known as judicial activism, blurs the separated powers. One would think that there are not enough hours in a day to judge the constitutionality of the myriad laws that already exist and are proposed, for the robed ones to take on any other assignments.  
114) Guantanamo needs to be given back to the Cubans and trade normalized. Auschwitz of the Caribbean just doesn't have a pleasant ring to it.  
115) Medicare (and its attendant fraud) - Federal government program where the money flows to Washington.  
116) Medicaid - Another federal government program.  
117) National Endowment for Arts (NEA) - Right. Art as determined by whom and funded by the taxpayer? Art is not a legitimate function of government.  
118) National Science Foundation (NSF) – Science is not a legitimate function of government.  
119) Ramstein in Germany, is the site of a large US military base and as such is one more imperial outpost. Since the EU became the world's largest economy, let them take care of their own defense.  
120) An audit of Fort Knox needs to be conducted to show if there is any gold there. That belongs to the people.  
121) The US presence in Korea needs to end. That 'police action' ended in 1953.So why are there 10 Airbases and around 48 camps including Camp Humphreys, where they are actually building a dozen highrises to house personnel ?  
122) The Department of Transportation needs to disappear for standing in the way of innovation. Inexpensive vehicles built in India, Italy, England and elsewhere that run on very little gas or compressed air shouldn't have to fight red tape to become available to Americans. The Department of Transportation needs to not be telling me what I can travel down the road in. Their rules and regulations have stifled innovation and productivity for years. Anybody remember the requirement for a 5 mph bumper in 1973? Whatever happened to that piece of brilliance that added 100 plus pounds to the weight of a car? My first car was a 1967 VW squareback that got 30 mpg all the time even though it had over a 100k miles. That's 40+ year old technology folks.  
123) Somalia - Why is the US government really involved there? Maybe they were showing the world that government really wasn't necessary to have a functioning society. Maybe that was an affront to the statists.  
124) Japan is one of the world's largest economies, why do we have a base in Atsugi?  
125) Free Speech Zones are an abomination. Government officials enforcing them should be arrested and prosecuted under USC Title 18 Chapter 13 Sec 241 for interfering with the exercise of a constitutional right.  
126) How do we go from being free to travel by any means available to requiring a license to do so? Seems like a reduction or elimination of personal liberty which according to Black's Law Dictionary, "Personal liberty -- consists of the power of locomotion, of changing situations, of removing one's person to whatever place one's inclination may direct, without imprisonment or restraint unless by due process of law." Never forget, rights cannot be converted to privileges.  
127) Patriot Act - Unconstitutional; passed 1-1/2 months after 9/11 and unread by most congressmen. Marbury v. Madison 5 US 137 (1803):  
"No provision of the Constitution is designed to be without effect", "Anything that is in conflict is null and void of law", "Clearly, for a secondary law to come in conflict with the Supreme Law was illogical, for certainly, the supreme Law would prevail over all other laws and certainly our forefathers had intended that the supreme Law would be the bases of all law and for any law to come in conflict would be null and void of law, it would bare no power to enforce, in would bare no obligation to obey, it would purport to settle as if it had never existed, for unconstitutionality would date from the enactment of such a law, not from the date so branded in an open court of law, no courts are bound to uphold it, and no Citizens are bound to obey it. It operates as a near nullity or a fiction of law."  
128) Military Commissions Act of 2006 - Unconstitutional.  
129) Warrantless searches - Unconstitutional.  
130) Retroactive immunity is ridiculous.  
131) The 'Know your customer' Banking Act must be repealed because it is unconstitutional. The FedGov has no authority to pry into private financial matters.  
132) Let any company in the world bid on the oil/gas leases for the continental shelf with the understanding that two thirds (or something suitable) of the product produced becomes the property of US citizens and when sold on the open market, the proceeds from the sale are returned to the citizens in the form of royalty checks, much like what happens in Alaska.  
133) No more corporate welfare. If McDonalds wants to sell hamburgers in Japan, do not rob the citizens to pay for McDonalds advertising budget.  
134) The IRS's sole function should be to collect corporate taxes. Strip it of any power to go after citizens.  
135) Barring the elimination of the standing army, the budgets of the military really need to be scrutinized. Just how many golf courses does the air force really need? "Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?" ~ George Wallace  
136) Enough with spending money on Mars missions etc. by NASA. Do we really need to know if there is water 30 million miles away when our planet is 75% covered with it? NASA is another boondoggle. It's guys like Burt Rutan and SpaceShipOne that are gonna make space travel/colonization happen.  
137) Get rid of OSHA. I once worked as a roofer on a government job run under OSHA regulations. I was required to wear a hard hat on the roof. The only thing above me was a clear sky. The only thing that could have fallen on my head was rain (well maybe a meteorite). Stupid rule..stupid agency.  
138) Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - Gotta go. Shouldn't be a federal function.  
139) Administration on Aging - People have been aging for thousands (insert your favorite timescale here) of years, you really think a taxpayer funded effort is going to change that?  
140) Architect of the Capitol  
141) Joint military exercises - Anything in the constitution about those? Isn't that one of those entanglements the founders warned about?  
142) How about doing more life affirming things like sticking to nuclear weapons reduction treaties?  
143) FDIC - Another confidence game. They have 'money' to only insure a paltry 1.5% of deposits anyway.  
144) National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) - Became irrelevant after the TWA flight 800 crash, when the investigation was compromised. The final nail in the coffin was it's handling of the 9/11 aircraft. Pilots for 911 truth proved as much when the data the NTSB provided was shown to be false. (http://www.pilotsfor911truth.org)  
145) Department of Energy (DOE) - Talk about collusion of the worst kind. The DOE cited MIT's negative conclusion about Cold Fusion and used that as the basis for condemning Cold Fusion.  
146) DHS aka Department of Homeland Security  
The DHS was established under false pretenses and when Secretary Janet Napolitano states that the global economy falls within her jurisdiction, should raise red flags for every American:  
http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2012/01/27/the-urgent-need-to-protect-the-global-supply-chain/  
The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) has a great sounding name like everything else coming out of Washington, but try not to forget that it is Orwellian newspeak:  
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf  
The notion that DHS should protect the "global supply chain " is just one more link in the rush to the elimination of nation states in general and America in particular. The DHS has ordered a **billion** plus rounds of ammunition of various types. Most of it is hollow point ammunition whose use is banned in international conflict. This would suggest a more domestic application. I wonder what they have in mind  
147) TSA - What a sick joke. They grope grannies, fondle females, view fingernail clippers as lethal weapons, force people to get their socks dirty. They are an abomination. To imagine that an entity like that could ever come into existence in 'the land of the free' is an outrage. I quit flying because of the infantile policies that emerge from the bowels of that bureaucracy with so much regularity.  
148) If I wish to have a toilet of whatever type, the FedGov shouldn't have anything to say about it.  
149) Any Mossad or other foreign intelligence service agents could use a little more surveillance from our guys don't you think? And if caught doing something illegal, put them in jail.  
150) How about having Norman Mineta testify under oath to what exactly Dick Cheney was doing and said?  
151) African Development Foundation  
152) Gerald Ford Library - Taxpayers pay for staffing and upkeep for all presidential libraries.  
153) Panama Canal Commission - Still in the department of labor budget even though Jimmy Carter relinquished control over 30 years ago.  
154) Office of Pavement technology  
155) Nixon Presidential Materials  
156) National Ice Center - Sure, why not? Maybe a National Steam Center or National Water Center? Why stick to just phases of water, we could expand to include all compounds both inorganic and organic? Huh? What do you say? That could be tens or hundreds of thousands of centers feeding on tax dollars.  
157) Small Business Administration (SBA) - When I had a small business (great cash flow, ready and constant supply, great fundamentals) and wanted to get a loan to expand and improve my business, well these bright folks saw fit to turn me down. I wasn't asking for a handout, there was a recession (again engineered by Washington/wall street) so banks weren't lending. I suppose I got schooled.  
158) Minority Business Development Agency  
159) Motion Picture and Television Reading Room  
160) LBJ Library and Museum  
161) Division of Bird Habitat Conservation - Probably populated with bird brains.  
162) Migratory Bird Conservation Commission - C'mon, what are you kidding? What, the birds can't figure out where to go without a federal commission??  
163) Office of the First Lady - Is that in the constitution somewhere?  
164) US Air Forces in Europe - Why? Do the Europeans have a 'European Air Forces in America' bureau?  
165) Women's Bureau - There is no Men's Bureau. And don't take that as a suggestion to create one.  
166) Indian Arts And Crafts Board  
167) Bureau of Indian Affairs - How about letting the Indians handle their own affairs w/o any interference from Washington? A good start would have been to honor the treaties w/ them.  
168) Indian Health Service - Can't account for $15.8 million dollars between 2004-7; each IHS employee is issued 3 computers. I bet the Indians would be much healthier w/o Big Brother looking over them.  
169) Hispanic Reading Room  
170) Executive Office for Weed and Seed  
171) European Reading Room  
172) European Command  
173) CentCom  
174) AfriCom  
175) Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office - Not doing their job; there are still MIA's from the Vietnam war era.  
176) Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency  
177) Cotton, Oilseeds, Tobacco and Seeds Division  
178) Dairy, Livestock and Poultry Division  
179) DOT Library  
180) Climate Diagnostics Center  
181) Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee  
182) Children's Literature Center  
183) Center for Faith Based Initiatives  
184) Center for Veterinary Medicine  
185) Center for the Book  
186) Bureau of South Asian Affairs  
187) Bureau of African Affairs  
188) Arctic Research Commission  
189) ArtsEdge  
190) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service  
191) Alternative Farming Systems Information Center  
192) Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau  
193) American Indian Liaison Office  
194) American Folklife Center  
195) American Memory  
196) Anacostia Museum and Center for African American History and Culture

208) Federal Duck Stamp Office  
209) Federal Lands Highway Office  
210) Food and Nutrition Service  
211) Foreign Investment Survey  
212) Japan Documentation Center  
213) Japan-United States Friendship Commission  
214) Marine Mammal Commission  
215) National Agricultural Library  
216) National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare  
217) National Center for Education Statistics  
218) National Eye Institute - What happened to all the other body part institutes, or am I getting ahead of myself?  
219) National Drug Intelligence Center – They must be studying how stoner extraordinaire Cheech Marin cleaned Anderson Cooper's clock on Jeopardy (the tv game show).  
220) National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism  
221) National Institute of Nursing Research  
222) And every other national institute of how to keep the deficiency going to keep getting funding.  
223) National Severe Storms Laboratory  
224) National Postal Museum  
225) Office of Boating Safety  
226) Office of Community Oriented Policing Services  
227) Office of Ethics - Don't make me laugh!  
228) Office of Indian Education  
229) Office of Innovation and Improvement  
230) Office of National Customer Services Management  
231) Office of Public and Indian Housing  
232) Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools  
233) Office of PostSecondary Education  
234) Office of Women's Business Ownership - - Again, no corresponding men's.  
235) Office of Tribal Services  
236) Office of Thrift Supervision - Really?? And just how did the national debt get so big? And in an unsurprising move, the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulation Act abolishes the office by moving all the personnel to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  
237) Office on Violence Against Women - Let me see, no men's office (I know, I know, that 50% of the population doesn't count, so no office for you!) But seriously, how is this a federal function?  
238) Overseas Private Investment Corporation  
239) Selective Service System - Right. Wow, decision, decisions. Which form of indentured servitude am I looking forward to for my sons? Still going strong even after Vietnam? I don't think so. My thinking goes more along the lines of Nuremberg like trials for bureaucrats 'just doing their jobs'. No major expense, plenty of available lampposts. Already have the rope.  
240) USA Jobs - Next level is World Jobs...some sort of international commission to decide who I get to work for and for how much. Thanks, but no thanks.  
241) Wage and Hour Division - If I want/need to work for $1 an hour, get out of my face!  
242) United States Holocaust Memorial Museum - Ok, where to start on this one? Ukraine famine, Rape of Nanking, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, WW1, WW2, Mao's Purge, Stalin's Purge, or the millions of slaves who died en route from Africa to North America etc. etc.  
243) United States Institute of Peace - Are you kidding? What happened, did GW Bush, Cheney and Obama flunk out?  
244) United States Botanic Garden - How sweet, must be in the constitution somewhere, or not.  
245) Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility - I'm sure he would approve..NOT!  
246) Stanford Linear Accelerator Center  
247) Space Environment Center  
248) Southern Command  
249) Social Security Advisory Board  
250) Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Interagency Coordinating Committee  
251) Armed Forces Retirement Home  
252) Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage  
253) Center for Earth and Planetary Studies  
254) Fannie Mae – Insolvent, actually worse than that. Around $3 trillion in debt and kept in a zombie state by the federal government, so its debt continues to grow.  
254) Freddie Mac – Insolvent and ditto.  
255)Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) - Banned short sales between ~9/19 - 10/2/2008. Couldn't spot Madoff even when warned in 2005, but can 'get' Martha Stewart? Oh yeah.  
256) Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) - No manipulation that they are aware of?  
257) Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance  
258) Administration for Children and Families  
259) National Institute of Health (NIH) – An agency of HHS. Their Intramural Research Program loves fluoride and lithium.  
260) Bureau of Transportation Statistics  
261) Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs  
262) Center for Financing, Access and Cost Trends  
263) National Chaplain Center  
264) No-bid contracts.  
265) No recourse for removing senators, congressmen and judges and by the way it should be something as simple as if 50 people want someone removed and 10 don't; motion carried, democracy at work.  
266) The Repeal of Glass-Steagall was a mistake. At least it dealt with the results (bank failures) caused by funny money Federal Reserve Notes.  
267) The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 also needs to be brought back and strengthened. The military should have no business acting in the US proper. No more repeats of what happened in May 1932 in Washington DC when hundreds of protesting veterans were injured and several were killed. Maybe that is why many of the Founding Fathers didn't like the idea of a standing army.  
268) Bio-weapons labs like the secret one that existed on Plum Island.  
269) Renunciation of 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty  
270) Abandonment of 1972 Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty  
271) Rescinding of 1972 Biological Weapons Convention  
272) Ft Detrick - Where bio-weapons research continues and the anthrax used in the 2001 Anthrax attacks originated.  
273) The 1928 Geneva Protocol which lo and behold was actually ratified by the US senate in 1974 (how about that for speed?), which of course since ca. 2001 has been stepped all over.  
274) How about updating the Army Field manual 27-10 to state that bio-chemical warfare IS banned? Probably a waste of time since it is useless -- According to basic principles of international criminal law set forth in paragraph 501 of U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10, all high level civilian officials and military officers in the U.S. government who either knew or should have known that soldiers or civilians under their control (such as the C.I.A. or mercenary contractors), committed or were about to commit international crimes and failed to take the measures necessary to stop them, or to punish them, or both, are likewise personally responsible for the commission of international crimes.  
275) Un-funded liabilities – This is one of the bigger elephants in the room. If factored in using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the US is insolvent/busted/broke.  
276) Amtrak, what a boondoggle. Has been a money loser for years. Add the TSA to that recipe and hasta la vista baby. Shame too, riding the train across the country was rather pleasant.  
277) All the Super Fund Sites – Uncle Scam is the biggest polluter.  
278) The FBI laboratory – Don't count on them for accurate results.  
279) NSPD 51 - Ominously and broadly worded implying that the president would lead the whole government with unchecked executive action.  
280) Campaign Finance Reform - Another joke.  
281) Head Start and No Child Left Behind - George Carlin incorporated both of those concepts into one of his comedy routines. With these two, the joke is on us.  
282) Dugway Proving Ground – Just another miserable testing site for chemical and biological agents in the US. Notably, in March of 1968, 4372 sheep were 'incapacitated' by the nerve agent VX 30 miles away. In January of 2011 they had a lockdown also because of VX.  
283) Americorps – Bill Clinton created this program by signing the 'National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993' Ostensibly, members are involved in public education and environmental clean-up. Just another make work program funded by taxpayer dollars.  
284) National Service is for slaves.  
285) Mind Control experimentation – It's either still going on or they have figured it out already.  
286) Congress not reading the bills they vote on. That is absurd and must stop.  
287) Bills and amendments being run through in the middle of the night and w/o full session.  
288) I-69 (NASCO) – The proposed international/North American Union highway.  
289) No more Plunge Protection team. No more market manipulations. If the dollar is going to crash, let it. If a corporation is going to go bankrupt, bye-bye. No more robbing the citizens to keep anything on life support.  
290)Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – Among all the other nonsense associated with the commission, declining to investigate law breaking by AT&T, Bellsouth, and Verizon for aiding the NSA to illegally wiretap Americans, shows who they work for.  
291) Why all the nonsense about having to convert cars from European to American standards?  
292) Government Fraud Waste and Abuse - How about that $50k piece of software I had in my desk for a year and a half, which probably never got used. Money had to be spent. I was one guy in one cubicle in one building on one installation. Magnify that by many many orders of magnitude stateside. What was/has been done overseas by Halliburton, KBR etc is utterly startling.  
293) Civil Service – Yuck. One could argue that the US Postal Service doesn't count because they actually do provide a service. Not particularly efficient, but useful unlike practically every other 'service' offered by the government.  
294) Forget government efficiency, ain't gonna happen. The more people you have the less you get done.  
295) Seabrook nuke plant – Safety concerns about concrete degradation at plant.  
296) No more generational welfare?  
297) Operation Mockingbird – Just one more domestic CIA op beginning in the 1950's to influence the media.  
298) One million+ names on the terrorist watchlist.  
299) Drop support of the UN - "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien  
300) Double jeopardy, and we are not talking about the round in a game show. If a state prosecutes an individual for a crime and can't convict, then the feds decide to take a turn (or vice versa). Seems like a clear violation of the 5th amendment.  
301) The Census Bureau for behaving as if people should fill out a questionnaire. What a crock. The only piece of information that is mentioned is the number of people in the house. You want more than that, get a constitutional amendment.  
302} War Games – Sure preparation and all that. Unfortunately, in the modern world used as cover for actual operations.  
303) NorthEast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) – Everybody was asleep on 9/11.  
304) Inslaw, Main Core and PROMIS - There are supposedly 8 million Americans listed in Main Core as potentially suspect.  
305) No to a National Energy Policy - It's a form of central planning.  
306) No oversight contracts.  
307) No experience contracts - Qualtech, for example, was given a gov't contract because they were a 'minority' owned business; well the head of the company was a black woman, but they had no expertise for the contract. They hired friends and relatives to play solitaire and missed the milestones and deliverables.  
308) Before 9/11 there were 5 Level 4 Biosafety labs in the country. Now, 15 are in operation or being built. Just what we need are more hot zones around the country.  
309) Government scientists – Where in the constitution is that mentioned?  
310) Cuba – The federal government policy towards Cuba makes America look stupid. I am no fan of Castro because he did wrong to the people of Cuba, but the senseless trade policies toward that island are helping nobody.  
311) Monroe Doctrine – A flawed idea that deserves to be relegated to the dustbin of history. Has no place in normal relations with Latin America.  
312) Hawaii – One more example of a land grab.  
313) Indian reservations  
314) Puerto Rico – Let them choose independence or statehood.  
315) Welfare for illegals - No way.  
316) Iraq - No threat and subjected to 10 years of sanctions before the onslaught. The federal government prevarications about Iraq and subsequent war crimes committed against that nation will go down in infamy. I pray that America does not 'reap what we sow'.  
317) Iran - Big brouhaha about nuclear power, Israel complains and has nukes, US complains and has used nukes on people.  
318) Panama - Never was a threat. Noriega had some dirt about drug trafficking on Bush Sr and with a quick 'war' like that, Noriega doesn't get to sing. Simple.  
319) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - It goes after the tiniest of polluters, leaving the undisputed worst offender (fed gov't) alone.  
320) US Mint - Custody and Protection of $100 billion in gold and silver. Why did they suspend gold sales on August 15 2008 after the market price had dipped below $800?  
321) White House press conferences - Not worth a damn unless packed with Helen Thomas type people. Otherwise it's liar telling lies and getting applause and accolades for doing so. The press corps are just a bunch of sycophants.  
322) Air Marshalls - killed Rigoberto Alpizar, described as 'a gentle Christian man who suffered manic-depression' for trying to get off the plane. From jimbovard.com/blog, 'The Orlando Sentinel reported on December 9: "Seven passengers interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel - seated in both the front and rear of the main passenger cabin - said Alpizar was silent as he ran past them on his way to the exit." No passenger the Sentinel spoke to offered any account akin to what the feds claimed.' From TIME, ' "I don't think they needed to use deadly force with the guy," says John McAlhany, a 44-year-old construction worker from Sebastian, Fla. "He was getting off the plane." McAlhany also maintains that Alpizar never mentioned having a bomb."I never heard the word 'bomb' on the plane," McAlhany told TIME in a telephone interview. "I never heard the word bomb until the FBI asked me did you hear the word bomb. That is ridiculous." '  
323) FAA for preventing pilots from being armed - How many hijackings occurred in the 50's and 60's ?  
324) Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) - Requests refused for example by supreme court for Vince Foster crime scene photos as well as Palfrey pictures by federal district court.  
325) Spanish Flu resurrection by gov't and military researchers.  
326) Agricultural Adjustment Act  
327) Interstate Commerce Clause (cause for Interstate Commerce Commission) - There are a few exceptions, but for most of the past 120 years government regulation of business has been a tool used by large corporations to stifle competition from their smaller competitors and to create barriers to competition from potential competitors. The very first federal regulatory agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, founded in 1887, was used first by the railroad industry to cartelize the industry as a government-controlled price-fixing cartel.  
328) Infragard – Non-profit public-private partnership. Corporations teamed up with the FBI. Just gives you the warm and fuzzies all over doesn't it?  
329) Project Shamrock – Started in 1945 to read all telegraphic data. At the height of activity it was printing and analyzing 150k messages per month. In 1975 Congress finally began to wonder.  
330) Project Minaret – Sister project to Project Shamrock.  
331) Treasury Department - Refuses to disclose the details of real gold quantity.  
332) CBO (Congressional Budget Office) - Lowballing the cost of the freddie mac and fannie mae bailout to $25B when the S&L bailout alone was $160B. They are currently over $6 Trillion in the hole. That's two orders of magnitude in error.  
333) Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan and the 11 year presence of troops to guard poppy fields.  
334) Coast Guard vessels away from the coast of the continental US, Alaska or Hawaii. The 'Dallas' was at a port in Georgia (the Eurasian country, not the state).  
335) National Guard troops fighting in Iraq instead of helping with say, Hurricane Katrina.  
336) National Telecommunications & Information Administration – Agency of the Commerce Department which administers grant programs for the deployment and use of broadband and other technologies.  
337) National Information Infrastructure – Was product of High Performance Computing Act of 1991. If the NSA wasn't listening to everybody I might not care.  
338) Universal Service Fund – Created by the FCC to meet the goals of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.  
339) Operation Chaos – Domestic Espionage op conducted by CIA.  
340) FDA blocking of independent 'Mad Cow' testing – Once again showing the world that the FDA doesn't care about Americans. This is testing that should have been heralded as proactive and is to be commended.  
341) Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) – In theory, it administers and enforces trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security; used against states, organizations and targeted individuals.  
342) Polish ABM site, funded by the US taxpayer to re-start the cold war.  
343) Czech ABM radar site, same thing.  
344) Billion $ aid to Georgia (the country).  
345) National Emergencies Act – A State of Emergency has existed since 9/11/01 as declared by Bush The Lesser. This Act grants various additional powers to the president during emergencies. Just another power grab and probably unconstitutional also.  
346) Federal Housing Finance Agency – Supposed to oversee Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a dozen federal home loan banks. Epic fail.  
347) Federal Debate Commission – Clueless as to what debating entails and way too selective as to who gets to debate. Definitely not in the best interests of America.  
348) NASA auctioning off patents that belong to the American people \- Dude, where's my royalty check?  
349) 150+ senators and congressmen derive financial profit from war and that is not conflict of interest??  
350) AidMatrix - Created by FEMA.  
351) Law Enforcement Assistance Administration  
352) Pentagon Law Enforcement Support Organization  
353) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) – Created as a result of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. I would bet dollars to donuts that this is funded by taxpayer money and of course you have to have more bureaucracy to 'manage' this program.  
354) The New Deal – Socialism, plain and simple.  
355) CDC dragging feet on MRSA (killed more people than AIDS in US).  
356) The US Senate for passing S 1858 in April 2006, which allows the federal government to screen the DNA of newborns.  
357) CIFTA – Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms... Where to begin on this one. As demonstrated adequately by Iran-Contra (drugs for weapons), Fast & Furious and all the other government run ops, I have to wonder who this is really directed at?  
358) Stop Loss - Violation of contract law as far as I'm concerned. By unilaterally altering the terms of a contract after agreement by both parties, the gov't has abrogated its agreement.  
359) Cost of compliance to fed regulations ~ $1 TRILLION  
360) John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007  
361) Regionalization of America - America has been divided into ten regions as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) -- a Cabinet-level position accountable only to the President. On January 11, 2010, President Obama established a Council of (ten) Governors (which will presumably rule over ten regions) when he signed Executive Order Number 13528. On July 12, 2010, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced that ten National Guard Homeland Response Force units would be assigned to the ten FEMA regions currently in place.  
362) Tread Act of 2000 - The tire pressure monitors built into modern cars have been shown to be insecure by researchers from Rutgers University and the University of South Carolina. The wireless sensors, compulsory in new automobiles in the US since 2008, can be used to track vehicles or feed bad data to the electronic control units (ECU), causing them to malfunction.  
Researchers from the University of Washington and University of California San Diego showed that the Electronic Control Units could be hacked, giving attackers the ability to be both annoying, by enabling wipers or honking the horn, and dangerous, by disabling the brakes or jamming the accelerator.  
363) USDA has it's fingerprints all over _LAB 257_ by Michael Christopher Carroll, pg 232 among others. Not satisfied with major germ outbreaks, they now go after dairy farmers and in the case of Bridget Donovan, ladies who grow lemon trees. Bridget complied with all state and federal laws only to receive a letter from the USDA informing her that government officials were going to come and seize her tree and destroy it without compensation. The letter also threatened that if Donovan was found to be in possession of "regulated citrus" again, she could be fined up to $60,000. http://healthfreedoms.org/2011/09/2  
364) Ninth Circuit Court - And all the other courts that make bad decisions.  
A federal appeals court has ruled as constitutional a law giving telecommunications companies legal immunity for helping the government with its email and telephone eavesdropping program. The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court decision regarding the 2008 law. The appeal concerned a case that consolidated 33 different lawsuits filed against various telecom companies, including AT&T, Sprint Nextel, Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. on behalf of these companies' customers.  
365) SCOTUS (aka Supreme Court of the United States) - Just one of myriad moronic 'decisions' by robed ones, from:  
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=xprnw.20110118.CL31921&show_article=1  
ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision that serves to allow judges to void the Constitution in their courtrooms. The decision was issued on January 18, 2011, and the Court did not even explain the decision (Docket No. 10-632, 10-633, and 10-690). One word decisions: DENIED.  
366) Congress – ostensibly, "Congress, and especially the House of Representatives, was supposed to be the people's bulwark against arbitrary federal power." Claire Wolf & Aaron Zelman _The State vs. The People_ pg 151. Unfortunately the following two men probably had it right.  
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." ~ Mark Twain  
"Congress consists of one third, more or less, scoundrels; two thirds, more or less, idiots; and three thirds, more or less, poltroons (utter cowards)." ~ H.L. Mencken  
367) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – Always boils down to the same question, is this a legitimate function of government? If you answer in the affirmative, then it could be argued that government should do everything. That way, everyone works for the state instead of the other way around.  
There are 1200+ federal agencies, departments, bureaus, offices, centers, commissions, services etc,. that comprise the monstrous bureaucracy that is the federal government and they all want to grow and expand. Unfortunately the human beings working at those places don't see themselves as a detriment to society.

Chapter 6 - State

368) State monopolies on gambling. Come on! Explain to me why individuals aren't allowed to have raffles, lotteries etc? Is it supposedly only the state that can do things on the up and up? That's absurd. Excellent scene in the movie 'The Sons of Katie Elder' where Dean Martin's character raffles off a glass eye in a bar. Classic!  
369) Maryland State Police – Armored Personnel Carriers and peace group surveillance..wonderful.  
370) States as signatories to the constitution and violators of the Bill of Rights.  
371) State run universities - Just another thing the states should not be involved in.  
372) The state of Connecticut for pulling sci-fi precrime by relieving people of weapons before they use them.  
373) The state of Texas for pulling that heavy handed action using Child Protective Services.  
374) Any state with a state income tax - they want to be little copies of the federal gov't huh?  
375) Any state not allowing open carry of a firearm - if the state had a representative who was a signatory to the constitution and it's included bill of rights, then how is the circumvention of the 2nd amendment (or any other amendment for that matter) rationalized? Either the Constitution is the 'Law of the Land' or it isn't.  
376) Nifong, Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch, Maryland States Attorney Richard Fritz etc etc for working personal agendas at the expense of the people they are supposed to serve.  
377) The state of California for banning homeschooling - Sorry, kahliforrnia needs dumb-dumbs, not educated thinking individuals.  
378) Montana Dept of Livestock for removing Washington State produce milk from the shelves because it sold for $1 less than Montana produced milk. Well, that is just subsidizing a few Montana milk producers at the expense of the many Montana milk drinkers. Yes, that's right. There are many more milk drinkers in Montana than there are milk producers in Montana.  
379) The state of Wisconsin for allowing police to covertly GPS peoples' cars.  
380) States, the 10th amendment & the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 – Two hundred years ago the states understood how to deal with the federal government. They need to relearn that.  
381) The Wisconsin Department of Agricultural Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) targeted Vernon Hershberger for supplying a private buying club with fresh milk and other farm products.  
382) Indiana - Overturning common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. Another bonehead decision from robed wonders. They should probably re-read the 4th amendment.

Chapter 7 - Local

383) LAPD - The abuse wrought upon the citizenry is legendary.  
384) NYPD – Random unconstitutional searches (stop and frisk), shooting at suspects and wounding bystanders and working with the CIA. Heavy-handed tactics against occupy wall street protestors because JP Morgan buys them donuts.  
385) Project MOVE in Philadelphia – In the city of brotherly love in 1985, the police actually dropped a bomb on the headquarters of a group called MOVE. Fire trucks were not allowed in, resulting in 11 dead and 61 homes destroyed.  
386) Big Dig in Boston – What's a few $billion of taxpayer money for substandard construction?  
387) Rocky Flats – Plutonium triggers for everyone.  
388) Hanford – Ever talk to anyone even remotely having dealt with the site? Think radioactive animals and plants.  
389) County commissions that feel they can dictate what a person can do with their own property.  
390) Salt Lake City for prosecuting people for recycling their rainwater.  
391) Some counties in Washington state have a view tax. What could be more outrageous?  
392) Manchester NH Airport for having highest rate of fines for travelers.  
393) City of Milwaukee for trying to foreclose on a guy for failing to pay for a parking ticket.  
394) St. Paul and Ramsey County Minnesota police for raiding house armed and w/o warrant to intimidate and harass would be protesters for the RNC.  
395) Angola' prison plantation in Louisiana exploiting the 13th amendment allowing for involuntary servitude when imprisoned.  
396) Mena Arkansas – The Mena operation was set up in the early 1980's by the notorious drug smuggler, Barry Seal. Facing prison after a drug conviction in Florida, Seal flew to Washington, D.C., where he put together a deal that allowed him to avoid prison by becoming an informant for the government. As a government informant against drug smugglers, Seal testified he worked for the CIA and the DEA. Seal was used by CIA operatives to help finance the Nicaraguan Contras. The CIA connection to the Mena operation was undeniable when a cargo plane given to Seal by the CIA was shot down over Nicaragua with a load of weapons. Governor Clinton had full knowledge. His payoff was to get to attend a Bilderberg meeting and become prez for cooperating with the powerz.  
397) New Orleans, Katrina and the levees.  
398) Sarasota Florida - Motorists accused of failing to pay a red light camera ticket can be foreclosed on.  
399) All manor of law enforcement traps to raise revenue, ridiculous places for stop signs, absurdly low speed limits, outrageous fines for littering etc ad nauseum.  
400) LMSI - Lower Manhattan Security Initiative would ring Manhattan w/ surveillance cameras.  
401) The city of Los Angeles - Is offering a deal to the "Occupy LA" protesters who await trial for having dared to exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceable assembly. If these potential defendants will just cough up $355 each and agree to attend a class in "free speech" conducted by a private organization, they can avoid a trial that could result in heavy fines or imprisonment. The LA Chief Deputy City Attorney stated that, "the First Amendment is not absolute." What a dolt. He should read the Bill of Rights and cogitate on that a while. Though I did read somewhere a long time ago that 'reading' and 'comprehension' were not the same thing. I think a class action suit against the city might go a long way toward justice in this case.

Chapter 8 - Bad Legislation

402) Income taxes are parasitical on the body of society. Researchers have shown that the 16th amendment was never ratified properly. Other cases have stated that the amendment created no new type of tax. And many others have waded through the legalese, definitions, paragraphs and sub-sections only to find applicability to federal workers and corporate entities doing business with the federal government, not regular people. There are two types of taxes, direct and indirect. Direct taxes in the constitution had to be apportioned, meaning everybody paid equally. An income tax (that some would have you believe applies to labor as opposed to corporate profits) is a direct violation of the 13th amendment against indentured servitude. It would be involuntary in that you would have no choice. There is a wonderful film made by Aaron Russo called _America: From Freedom To Fascism,_ which separates fact from fiction concerning the income tax. "Society is concerted action, cooperation." Ludwig Von Mises in _Human Action_ pg 143  
403) The abrogation of the Bill Of Rights by practically every jurisdiction in the country. Even though we are taught throughout our public education that the constitution is 'the law of the land', what do we have when governments that are instituted by men to secure our rights, don't?  
404) The Gun Control Act of 1968 was taken practically verbatim from the Nazi "Law on Weapons of March 18, 1938". We have the late Senator Thomas Dodd to thank for that abomination. From _Death by "Gun Control"_ by Aaron Zelman & Richard W. Stevens pg 209.  
405) Social Security is a socialist ponzi scheme. It's another type of crime that becomes 'ok' because government does it. I'm not morally allowed to rob my neighbor and tell him that when he gets to age 65, 67, 70 or whatever, I pay him back. It is raided every fiscal year to make the budget deficit look smaller, the withholding ceiling and rate increase continually, and there is no money in the 'trust' fund. The payments made to recipients are adjusted by a fictitious CPI value and the age to receive benefits continues to be raised. The only confidence I have in social security is that is a confidence game.  
406) National Security Letters are against the constitution.  
407) Domestic surveillance is unconstitutional. So legislation allowing it is unconstitutional. So where is the check-and-balance known as the supreme court? In bed with the other two branches of government where it has been for the better part of the last seventy years.  
408) Farm subsidies have got to go. Paying money to people not to do something is ridiculous. Learn to work for a living like the rest of us. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), for example, collects $400 million annually.  
409) Subsidizing the sugar growers also impoverishes the many at the expense of the few. Sure, the sugar growers are happy. The rest of us pay a lot more. Just another income redistribution scheme.  
410) Government bailouts also must end. Socializing the losses and privatizing the profits is patently unfair. History has already established that socialism doesn't work. Keep bailing out banks/bankers with tax money and socialize the risk? How about paying off my mortgage? Lo and behold - the TARP fund alone could have paid off every mortgage.  
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=washingtonstory&sid=aGq2B3XeGKok  
411) Abolish the Federal tax on gasoline. Let the jurisdictions where the fuel is purchased take care of road maintenance.  
412) Localities claiming that people cannot collect rainwater using cisterns is an egregious violation of nature and property rights in my opinion. If it is on, or lands on my property, it is mine.  
413) The state telling you what you can and cannot do with your property (that includes your body) is outrageous. That would imply at a minimum co-ownership between you and the state with you as junior partner. Not an enviable position. Did you enter into an explicit contract with the state in that regard?  
414) Civil Asset Forfeiture as a violation of the 5th amendment. Asset forfeiture is criminal behavior and needs to be punished.. hello.. DOJ.. hello?  
415) Airport security checkpoints manned by TSA as a violation of the 4th amendment. Airlines as private entities are allowed to decide the conditions under which it handles its customers. They offer a service that customers are free to refuse. Agents of the federal government do not have that luxury.  
416) Secret laws - Repugnant.  
417) Forced licensing of entrepreneurs for cutting hair, selling lemonade etc.  
418) Echelon - Eavesdropping.  
419) Carnivore – and more eavesdropping.  
420) Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS)  
421) Total Information Awareness (TIA) – Think of it as they eyes of Big Brother.  
422) TIPS - Tattle on your neighbor or family member for fun and profit. The powerz took a lesson from the Soviet Union and the East German Stazi and coupled with their imploding of the US economy, thought that total control was within their grasp.  
423) Hate Crimes – Are there love crimes? Like crimes? Dislike crimes?  
424) Child Protective Services – May have a legitimate use in some very narrowly defined context, but as with every other government 'service', it's a bull in a china shop.  
425) GPS in cell phones - The FCC's E911 initiative requires cell phone carriers to be able to pinpoint their customers' location within 100 meters, so emergency responders can reach them in a crisis. However, phones with GPS chips can actually find you within a few feet. Ninety-five percent of cell phones must be E911 compliant by the end of 2005. Although several phone carriers have asked for extensions, in the future nearly all cell phones will have location-tracking features.  
426) Body scanners at airports. What are they looking for? Guns? I thought they were guaranteed by the 2nd amendment? And what, metal detectors are no longer enough? Has the government really made that many enemies?  
427) Data recorders in automobiles (used since 1996).  
428) Presidential pardons are so get out of jail free...depends on the game I guess. Let's see 'Monopoly' has them, but 'The Game of Life' doesn't. That just can't be right? Marc Rich, Scooter Libby, Richard Nixon etc, etc. The power to pardon was almost not included in the Constitution. The Virginia Plan as well as the New Jersey Plan for framing the Constitution, had no such provision. George Mason, a Virginia Plan backer, believed it was a mistake to grant such power to a single person and many of Mason's fellow framers agreed with him.  
429) Traffic cameras – Ostensibly used to switch lights for smoother traffic flow. Definitely used for surveillance.  
430) Traffic lights – Traffic flows smoother when there is a power failure.  
431) City cops carrying AR15 rifles. That is not a good sign at all. But then again, collateral damage is no big thing, right?  
432) HAARP & Geo-Engineering-- Don't mess with the weather, no human being or group of humans is/are that wise. Don't believe it's being done or possible? Well, an international treaty called The Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) prohibit the military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques. It went into affect on 5 October 1978. The Convention bans weather warfare. The Convention on Biological Diversity of 2010 would also ban some forms of weather modification or geoengineering. They don't make international treaties banning capabilities that don't exist. It is interesting to note that weather - including consequences of violent weather, flooding and storms - are traded as derivatives on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.  
433) Sarbanes-Oxley – Imposes costs on existing companies and stifles the formation of new public companies. Ultimately, it benefits large organizations.  
434) Ammunition Identification legislation – Firearms are the target. If the 2nd amendment can't be circumvented, making ammunition impossibly expensive achieves the same goal.  
435) FISA – Created in 1978 to limit the NSA. Is it working yet?  
436) Martial Law  
437) Curfews – Not in a free country there aren't.  
438) Investigative stops – Warrant, we don't need no stinkin' warrant! I was actually in traffic court one day and listened to a case of an investigative stop. The defense lawyer argued that it was a violation of his client's fourth amendment right (which by the way it clearly is for anyone with a lick of sense), but the 'judge' didn't see it that way. I guess in our pre-crime modern day newspeak society, 'unreasonable' no longer exists so any search is a –ok. Seriously, start with any flawed premise, draw any conclusion no matter how erroneous and it's ok because reasoning was involved. There is no check on the 'quality' of the reasoning, so the letter of the law is satisfied, the spirit of the law of course is nowhere to be found.  
439) Telecommunications Act of 1996 – Title 3 of this act allowed for media cross ownership which leads to further consolidation of all radio, tv, cable etc. into the hands of the few big media giants.  
440) NSSM200 in 1974 - Population reduction.  
441) Zero Tolerance - What kind of draconian nonsense is that?  
442) Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) – Supposed to be about controlled drugs. Control being the operative word.  
443) Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) - Program run by the FBI that includes surveillance, dirty tricks, etc. Brought to light by the Church committee in 1975, but never really went away.  
444) Wage & Price Controls - Images of Nixon (who wasn't a crook right?) and other central planners.  
445) 1917 Espionage Act  
446) Rent control - You have got to be kidding, where is the incentive for anybody to own a property under rent control?  
447) Taxpayer subsidized sports stadiums  
448) Red Light Cameras – They have been shown to be hazardous and a cause of accidents, but no matter as long as the jurisdictional coffers fill up.  
449) The non-restoration of rights after having 'paid' for a crime. Rights were restored in the past and that worked quite well. It is only a fairly recent development where ex-convicts get to have the stigma of conviction burden them for the rest of their lives. The government doesn't want you to have rights and will do anything and everything to take them away. Punishment fitting the crime used to be a functional model which has given way to a much more draconian framework.  
450) National Defense Authorization Act – Attempts to wipe out the 5th Amendment right to due process by using twisted legalese.  
451) Protect America Act – Allowed for monitoring of all electronic communications of Americans with foreigners who are targets of a terrorism investigation without a court order.  
452) Millimeter wave machines to 'strip' people at airports.  
453) National Drinking Age Act of 1984 - Passed by some of the biggest alcoholics in the world, now that is hypocrisy.  
454) Northcom and the deployment of a combat brigade to the lower 48.  
455) Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 - Another well intentioned (perhaps) piece of legislation on the road to hell. The poor who shop at thrift stores will suffer the most since it outlaws selling of baby goods and toys there. Considering all the bailouts etc., we may all be shopping at thrift stores not by choice, but out of necessity.  
456) Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000 - Crushed Brooksley Born, forbade her from issuing any rules protecting the USA, exempted from fraud laws those traders like JP Morgan that were/are committing outright fraud like naked short selling.  
457) Foreign Trade Zones (also referred to as Special Economic Zones) & UN Biospheres (of which 47 exist in the US) – Giving territory to foreign entities is unwise to say the least.  
458) Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011 - This 'law' permits Secret Service agents to designate any place they wish as a place where free speech, association and petition of the government are prohibited. And it permits the Secret Service to make these determinations based on the content of speech. Of course, this 'law' is null and void because it clearly violates the first amendment, but that isn't going to stop the badges now is it?

Chapter 9 - Religious, News Media & Education Mouthpieces

459) Stop listening to televangelists. Anybody who suggests that we should kill the leader of our neighboring country is really missing the point. Unless of course 'love' = 'kill'?  
460) CNN – Once upon a time may have been credible, but no more.  
461) Fox News - They are not called 'Faux News' for nothing.  
462) Washington Post - Their bias is unparalleled.  
463) New York Times - Their misreportings are legion.  
464) Bill O'Reilly, Hannity&Colmes along with all the rest of the prevaricators need to be shunned.  
465) James Dobson - Just another 'kill them all.." CINO (Christian in name only)  
"Going to church no more makes you a Christian than sleeping in your garage makes you a car." ~ Garrison Keiler  
466) Pat Robertson - "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction." ~ Blaise Pascal  
467) Noam Chomsky - How can 9/11 not matter? Unless of course it's some sort of existentialism where nothing matters. Is that what you are getting at, you left gatekeeper you?  
468) Popular Mechanics – Completely lost respect for them after they circled the wagons (ineffectively mind you) to support the absurd official narrative of 9/11. They should have stuck to their namesake instead of attempting to foist intellectually dishonest arguments on a trusting public. They have been conspicuously silent after having demonstrated a lack of mental acumen in debating the subject with serious researchers.  
469) Time magazine– Another member of the dinosaur main stream media.  
470) COPS tv program  
471) Judith Miller (CFR) – She wrote fake stories passed off as non-fiction for The New York Times.  
472) Associated Press (AP) - According to their own website, they are owned by 1500 US daily newspapers. And who are those newspapers owned by?  
473) Rush Limbaugh – Here is another hypocrite who happens to blab on the airwaves. He advocated jail time for drug addicts all while popping oxycontins as if they were Skittles. One of two choices: either change your tune or go to jail.  
474) Michelle Malkin - Defender of FDR's internment of Japanese during WW2 for starters.  
475) UPI – Another group of news organizations like Associated Press (AP). Owned by News World Corporation which was founded by Sun Myung Moon.  
476) NPR - Not called National Prevaricating (or Propaganda) Radio for nothing.  
477) Washington Times – Up until just a few days ago, it was owned by self professed messiah Rev Sun Myung Moon. Now that Moon is dead ( or what have you, - ascended, transitioned, passed etc), who will run/own it I don't know.  
478) Anne Coulter - Just amazes me that anybody would even listen to her.  
479) Neal Boortz - I can't stand people that call themselves libertarians and then advocate aggression towards non-threats.  
480) Alan Dershowitz – Mearsheimer & Walt refer to him as an 'apologist' for the Israeli lobby. They are quite correct. Dershowitz wrote a book entitled The Case For Israel . I won't be reading that one because the title alone is a non-starter. Anybody who has spent even a small amount of reading about how the modern state came into being (politically speaking) knows that it had nothing to do with what Judeo-Christians would have you believe. For those who don't know, a couple of keywords, Balfour Declaration, Rothschild.  
481) Bill Maher - A sellout. As a comedian, is he really qualified to speak as an engineer, architect, pilot?  
482) USA Today – An 'alternative' msm rag. Suitable for bird cage liner.  
483) Steve Forbes – Daddy had money so son can 'run' for pres. Advocates flat tax from flawed premise.  
484) Lifetime TV  
485) Gloria Steinem - Worked for a CIA front called Independent Research Service.  
486) Brian Ross - Bentonite/anthrax story for ABC.  
487) National Review  
488) Newsweek – Part of mainstream media and hence hopeless. On the plus side they are losing readership and thus their print business vanishes at the end of 2012. Good riddance.  
489) Charles Krauthammer (CFR) - Warmonger.  
490) Max Boot - Certified warmonger and CFR member.  
491) New Republic  
492) Wall Street Journal - Or better known as the 'War Street Journal'.  
493) Duke University – Real quick to judgment in the lacrosse scandal. One would think that as an institute of higher learning, waiting for all the facts to come out would be part of the critical thinking process.  
494) Glenn Beck - For calling Cindy Sheehan a 'tragedy slut'; she lost her son for a lie. She has a right to complain and get answers! Actually, she has that right even if she hadn't lost a son.  
495) News Corp – Rupert Murdoch, need I say more?  
496) Geraldo Rivera - What a tool. On the plus side, may finally be seeing the light on 9/11.  
497) (t)Reason magazine  
498) Scientology -It's not to say that a sci-fi writer couldn't hit upon the truth, why hide it if you got it going on?  
499) Larry Kudlow, Jim Cramer and the rest of the wall street cheerleaders pretending to be credible economic analysts.  
500) The integrity and accuracy of the mainstream media, or what is sometimes referred to as 'The Fourth Estate'. This is unfortunate since they are owned by large corporations with an agenda. You might wonder what the agenda might be. The ostensible one is money. Profit for someone, power for others. A simple publication or radio station would sell advertising to generate revenue. A large media conglomerate would be used to cast other members of the conglomerate in a positive light, regardless of the truth. In criminal parlance, they have means, motive and opportunity. Gov't, think tanks, universities and layman use them in self-referential terms. The obvious problem here is that facts (read truths) are not the main stream media's stock in trade. For example, in December 1996, Jane Akre and husband Steve Wilson, were hired by FOX at WTVT in Tampa Bay, Florida to investigate bovine growth hormone (BGH). The reporters were told by Fox executives to use statements from Monsanto that the reporters knew were false. Akre and Wilson refused to produce the piece and were subsequently fired. In August 2000, a unanimous Florida jury found that Akre was wrongfully fired. FOX appealed. In February 2003, the Florida Second District Court of Appeals overturned the settlement awarded to Akre, claiming that the FCC policy against falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a "law, rule, or regulation," it was simply a "policy."  
"Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell."  
\- Hugo Black, American jurist and politician, 1886-1971  
"The theory of the free press is not that the truth will be presented completely or perfectly in any one instance, but that the truth will emerge from free discussion."  
\- Walter Lippman, American editor and writer, 1889-1974  
"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."  
\- John F. Kennedy, U.S. President, 1961-1963  
"The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing."  
\- Henry B. Adams (1838-1918), President of the American Historical Association

Chapter 10 - Prison, Pharma, Food, Energy & Transport

501) American Medical Association (AMA). Just another exclusive club that most can't join and have way too much say in matters of my health. Have you seen/read/heard about all the herb, spice, fruit and vegetable health benefits and curative properties? Not from the AMA you won't.  
502) Why does the American Cancer Society (ACS) even exist anymore? The Japanese Medical Journal showed that macrophage activation factor (MAF) was effective, Bill Sardi writes articles regularly for LewRockwell.com with various treatments, the Gerson Therapy, vitamin C injections, dichloroacetate, various herbs and vegetables and countless others have been shown to be effective as well. Did you know that the ACS was started by backing from John D Rockefeller. Now where have I heard that name before? Perhaps it was started with the best of intentions, but today they have no interest in finding a cure. The ACS has close ties to the mammography industry, the cancer drug industry, and the pesticide industry. Conflicts of interest abound consistently promoting dangerous drugs and screening procedures. They turn a blind eye to alternative therapies and refuse to look at root causes.  
503) Jury is still out on Aspertame whose breakdown products include Methanol & Aspartic acid--why not err on the side of caution and not necessarily trust all the corporate marketing?  
504) Stop the barbarism in mental hospitals. Some years ago ElectroShock therapy was all the rage. Then it was discounted. Next came Thorazine. Same story. That pattern keeps repeating and people get treated like guinea pigs. Dr. Thomas Szasz says that psychiatry began 300 years ago as a tool of the state. He is the author of _Myth of Mental Illness_.  
505) MSG - Another food additive which is an excitatory amino acid and is used to fatten up lab rats; destroys brain cells etc., and is in myriad foods.  
506) Medicare/Medicaid and the reduction in choices for healthcare.  
507) Why no flexibility in health insurance? Should men be required to pay a premium to cover pregnancy and should women pay a premium to cover prostate problems?  
508) National Cancer Institute  
509) Ritalin and every other drug used on kids to mold them.  
510) Cholesterol doesn't seem to have much to do with heart attacks/disease. A Japanese woman's dietary intake (in milligrams per day) of cholesterol is about the same as an American male and yet has 10 times less disease. I guess they don't buy a lot of cholesterol lowering drugs in Japan.  
511) Anti Lock Brakes (ABS) – First there was a big push to get this safety feature on vehicles at an additional expense to the buyer and then after all the brouhaha the debate begins about the efficacy of the device. Bass ackwards as always.  
512) Air Bags - Why no choice?  
513) Gardasil - As of September 28, 2010, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has more than 18,000 Gardasil-related adverse events listed in it, including at least 65 deaths. As a vaccine for children, it doesn't make sense to vaccinate to try to prevent an infection that is cleared from your body without any negative effects within two years in most healthy persons, and is not transmitted in a school setting like other airborne diseases that are easily transmitted in crowded conditions. Gardasil is NOT a cancer vaccine. It is simply a vaccine for two strains of human papilloma viruses (HPVs) that in some instances can lead to cancer in some women (Gardasil's other two HPV strains are for genital warts, which don't cause cancer). Since there are at least 15 HPV strains that can lead to cancer, Gardasil-vaccinated girls can still get cervical cancer from other 13 HPV strains not contained in the vaccine. The vaccine doesn't work if you've already been infected with the HPV strains in the vaccine.  
514) The vilification of midwives. The American Medical Association is directly responsible for this.  
515) Genetic Engineering - is somewhat of a non-sequiter. In order to correctly engineer something, you have to have knowledge and an understanding of cause and effect. Current genetic knowledge is limited, the understanding suffers independently as well.  
516) Baxter pharmaceuticals for 'accidentally' contaminating flu vaccines w/ H5N1.  
517) UNOCAL - Afghanistan pipeline. Hamid Karzai used to work for Unocal who wanted a pipeline in Afghanistan, the wishes of Afghani nationals be damned. I wonder is Unocal is getting a share of poppy profits?  
518) Processed food - 60% of all processed food is genetically engineered.  
519) Irradiated food - Radiation (gamma rays) strong enough to kill all bacteria is also strong enough to break molecular bonds. One of the constituent parts of amino acids (found in all kinds of foods) is benzene. It is typically tightly bound in an amino acid, but can be set free by radiation. Free benzene is a known carcinogen.  
520) High Fructose Corn Syrup - Impairs memory. So there you have it: get rid of natural sugar in soft drinks and replace it with a cheap memory debilitator. The corporations just love the consumer.  
521) American Dental Association (ADA) - Continues to support the use of mercury fillings and berates dentists opposed to the use of mercury in dentistry.  
522) American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - Claims to protect your children, they are mainly funded by vaccine manufacturers and refuse to reveal how much money comes from them. They team up with Congress to shield drug companies and pediatricians from liability for vaccine injuries. As if that wasn't bad enough, truthful vaccine information is not what they are interested in.  
523) Roxarsone - Arsenic in chicken feed as reported in  
http://www.naturalnews.com/032659_arsenic_chicken.html  
Yes our old friends at Pfizer Inc., this time through a subsidiary called Alpharma LLC manufacture the stuff to feed to the chickens that we eat.  
524) Artificial sweeteners - Probably the whole lot of them. Aspartame (which is in Nutrasweet, Equal and others) releases methanol (causes blindness) and breaks down above 86 degrees and before 1980 the FDA refused to approve it. Of course, the day after Reagan took office (with Donald Rumsfeld on transition team and one time CEO of Searle who was the manufacturer of Aspartame), the new FDA commissioner appointee would go on to approve it. Let's see, what's human body temperature again?  
525) Corrections Corporation of America - Offered to buy and operate existing state prisons. The catch? Requiring the states to guarantee 90 percent occupancy. Now, how could a state possibly do that unless....well, use your imagination.  
526) Nuclear plants – They served a purpose at one time, but the dangers posed by their very nature is problematic for humans. The current type of reactor produces long lived nuclear waste that is a growing problem. There are lots of other problems with their construction etc and just one example: 'FirstEnergy originally announced that, while cutting an opening in the shield building of its aging Davis-Besse nuclear reactor, to replace a deteriorating reactor head for the second time, workers discovered cracks in the concrete shield building wall. FirstEnergy called this a "barely visible indication" of a crack, which ran for approximately 30 feet along the line of the steel reinforcing rods in the wall.  
http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2011/10/nrc_firstenergy_concerned_abou.html  
Radiation is not good for people despite claims to the contrary and unfortunately as humans, we are fallible. Things do go wrong and everything works until it doesn't. Some things that quit working aren't dangerous, while others are exceedingly so. After the Fukushima disaster, it would be wise to take a sober assessment of our own nuclear industry, since there are about a dozen reactors operating using the same design. As Nassim Taleb points out, "Don't give the manager of a nuclear plant an incentive bonus based on cost savings." That would probably apply to mega-corporations involved in nuclear power plant construction as well.  
527) Merck – Another big pharmaceutical company with deadly useless products like Vioxx and Gardasil. Merck knew from the beginning (1997) that Propecia causes permanent impotence in some men. In fact, 96% of men with sexual problems arising from it, have them for longer than a year after they stop taking Propecia.

Chapter 11 - Banks & Finance

528) The Federal Reserve prints 'money' unbacked by anything. Clearly, the public school system hasn't taught even the fundamentals of economics, because most Americans don't know what money really is. On Dec 22 1913, 43 out of 96 senators said 'yea' to the legislation. Sure, apparently 27 senators abstained or were away, but that's less than half voting in favor. And it gets worse. In the hierarchical power, the Fed is answerable/subservient to the 'Bank for International Settlements' (BIS) based in Basel Switzerland.  
"Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers, but the truth is that the Federal Reserve System has usurped the government. It controls everything in Congress and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will." ~ Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency  
529) Goldman Sachs  
530) JP Morgan - Now there is a name that has had its hand in the cookie jar since the early 1900's  
531) Merrill Lynch  
532) Morgan Stanley  
533) Lehman Brothers - Went bankrupt.  
534) Central banks - "The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the People versus the Banks." ~ Lord Acton  
Gary North writing in the forward of the Murray Rothbard book titled _The Mystery of Banking_ ,  
"It is the only money and banking textbook I have read which forthrightly identifies the process of central banking as both immoral and economically destructive."  
535) Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) – Supposed to require companies to mark assets and liabilities on their balance sheets at market value. There are no teeth in the rules, so most financial institutions since the economic downturn beginning in 2008 have been marking to fantasy, because if they didn't, the public would know that they are insolvent.  
536) Level 3 Assets – According to FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157, companies are supposed to use Generally Accepted Accounting Rules (GAAP). Companies take their cue from the fedgov that doesn't use GAAP either.  
537) LTCM – Hedge fund that blew up and resulted in a bailout in 1998. Consider it the prequel for the shenanigans of 2008.  
538) Silverado Savings and Loan – Neil Bush (son of George HW) was on the board of the S&L. This one bank cost taxpayers $1.3 billion and was part of the overall S&L crisis that cost $160 billion.  
539) Keating 5 – Five senators tried to intervene on the behalf of banker Charles Keating in 1989. The five accused of corruption were, Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, John Glenn, Donald Riegle and John McCain. That little fiasco cost Americans $3 billion.  
540) Enron – I bet lots of people from Enron (and elsewhere) were sweating big time waiting for the indictments to roll in when the miracle of WTC7 (which just happened to have all the records of the SEC investigation) happened.  
541) Bear Stearns – Got involved in Collateral Debt Obligations (CDO), lost a bunch of money and was later consumed by J.P. Morgan Chase on the cheap.  
542) World Bank - "The World Bank is a tool of economic hit men, there is no question about it. It's the tool of big corporations, the IMF and most of what we call intelligence agencies of the United States, CIA and NSA. Essentially the job of all these organizations is to help what used to be just US businesses - now we call them multi-nationals - get themselves established around the world in positions where they can exploit the world's resources, natural resources and human resources." ~ John Perkins  
543) Wells Fargo - Besides being a major drug money laundering bank, they invest heavily in the prison industrial complex.  
544) Citigroup – Have already been bailed out. Has been repeatedly involved in the documented laundering of drug money. This includes Citigroup's 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to launder drug money, Banamex.

Chapter 12 - Rogues Gallery of Misfits, International

545) NATO was ostensibly created to counter the Soviet led Warsaw Pact, which is now defunct. So why does it still exist and consume US tax dollars? Withdraw from it.  
546) Afghanistan was not/is not/never will be a threat to the US. Can't those poor people just be left alone? I mean really, demonizing the Soviets for their invasion, and rightly so, but then following in their footsteps?  
547) Abolish the CIA. "Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world -- particularly the Third World -- since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by the elite--owned media." ~ Ralph McGehee [Former CIA analyst & Author] _CIABASE; The Crisis of Democracy Deadly Deceits: My 25 years in the CIA  
_ "And if you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell you brother is you have to wait." ~ from the song _Revolution_ by John Lennon, which brings us to the question of why are we funding the CIA when,  
"It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize and teach the American people to hate, so we will let the Establishment spend any amount of money on arms." ~ John Stockwell, former CIA official and author. The CIA has no business selling/importing cocaine into the US. Gary Webb, Mike Rupert, and even a 60 minutes interview w/ ex-DEA boss confirm the fact that they do. Ex-President Truman who signed the agency into existence in 1947 regretted the decision in later years. Their crimes are legion and their fingerprints are all over the assassination of JFK and the subsequent cover-up. Ref: _JFK and the Unspeakable_ by James W. Douglass pg 81  
"The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting "intelligence" justifying those activities. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target of its lies." ~ Ralph McGehee, former Career Intelligence Medal recipient officer of the CIA (1952 to 1977) and critic of the agency.  
548) International Monetary Fund (IMF) – Ostensibly funded by various nations with the US being the largest contributor. In actuality, just another banker tool for exploiting nations and enriching multinational corporations.  
549) Interdiction by US warships in _international_ waters of vessels under non-us flags should be a no-no.  
550) Cluster bombs – That is the 'gift' that keeps on giving long after a conflict is over. Responsible for numerous injuries and deaths of children in affected areas.  
551) Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) - Good freakin luck. His voting record on gun rights is abysmal. Probably not even a citizen, so what should we expect. National Service? Get a clue. As a partially black man, you'd think he would be acutely aware of indentured servitude. He opens his mouth and lies spew forth. He is a committed globalist and rest assured legislation and international agreements will flow from the White House that will further erode American sovereignty. He once stated, "all nations must come together to build a stronger global regime". Ah, no thanks. I don't want to be part of a marxist proletariat run by a fascist oligarchy.  
552) Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) - Wow, that organization has been around a long time. Created in 1921 as the sister organization to the British Royal Institute for International Affairs. The founding president was John W. Davis who was J.P.Morgan's personal attorney. They have been busy ever since undermining American sovereignty. Every administration since FDR has had numerous CFR members in cabinet positions. The CFR has had their hand in every war that began since their inception.  
"In 1962, the American Legion passed a resolution condemning the CFR 'as being actively engaged in destroying the Constitution and sovereignty of the United States of America,' and the Daughters of the American Revolution adopted a resolution petitioning Congress to investigate the Council." The Shadows of Power James Perloff pg 126  
"The My Lai massacre, the sentencing of Lt. Calley to life imprisonment, 'The Selling of the Pentagon,' and the so called Pentagon papers are leading examples of attempts to shift all the blame to the military in the eyes of the people. But no one identifies the Council on Foreign Relations – the CFR – a group of some 1400 Americans which includes as members almost every top level decision and policy maker in the Vietnam War. CBS tells the people it wants them to know what is going on and who is to blame. Why doesn't CBS tell the American people about the CFR and let the people decide whom to blame for the Vietnam fiasco – the planners and top decision makers of a closely knit financial-intellectual aristocracy or military leaders under civilian control who have had little or no voice in the overall policies and operations and who are forbidden by law to tell the American people their side." You've A Right To Know circular of Congressman John R. Rarick July 15, 1971. The CFR has members in all the media, colleges & universities, energy, finance, think tanks, NGO's, federal government and every branch of the military.  
"CFR, as such, does not write the platforms of both political parties or select their respective presidential candidates, or control U.S. defense and foreign policies. But CFR members, as individuals, acting in concert with other individual CFR members, do." Former council member Admiral Chester Ward (former US Navy JAG)  
553) Trilateral Commission - A Trilateral Commission Report, presented at the 1975 meeting in Kyoto, Japan, called _An Outline for Remaking World Trade and Finance_ , said, "Close Trilateral cooperation in keeping the peace, in managing the world economy, and in fostering economic development and in alleviating world poverty, will improve the chances of a smooth and peaceful evolution of the global system." Another Commission document stated, "The overriding goal is to make the world safe for interdependence by protecting the benefits which it provides for each country against external and internal threats which will constantly emerge from those willing to pay a price for more national autonomy. This may sometimes require slowing the pace at which interdependence proceeds, and checking some aspects of it. More frequently however, it will call for checking the intrusion of national government into the international exchange of both economic and non-economic goods."  
554) David Rockefeller - Now there is a name you can trust..NOT! I find it interesting that Nelson and David were the 'creators' of World Trade Center twin towers. Is it possible that because of that he felt he had the right to destroy it as well?  
"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents ... to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." Rockefeller autobiography _Memoirs_ pg 405  
555) World Trade Organization (WTO) - Hey, the world is too big for a man made organization. Do you really think a bunch of bureaucrats have enough wisdom to centrally plan world trade?? Hmmm?  
556) Karl Rove - Just another guy who should be wearing an orange jumpsuit at the gray bar hotel.  
557) Colin Powell (CFR)– as a 31 year old Army Major he attempted to keep information about the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam from becoming public. He also refuted a whistle-blower to the 'Phoenix Program'. And lastly, as Secretary of State in 2003, sold the world the false bill of goods of WMDs in Iraq.  
"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." ~ Plato  
558) Madeline Albright (CFR) – Ah, what's 500000 children's lives to a psychopath. Must run in the family. Her grandfather founded the 'greens' and was a buddy of Stalin.  
559) Richard Perle (CFR) – The groups this guy is involved tell the story. Hudson, WINEP, AEI, PNAC & JINSA. When interviewed by journalist John Pilger, describing America's 'war on terror', Perle said, "No stages, this is total war." He was referring to first going to Afghanistan and then Iraq as stages, which were according to madman Perle, as being the wrong way to go.  
560) Nixon – Renouncing of gold standard, wage and price controls. This guy wanted to drop a nuke on Hanoi. He also gave more than 110 government appointments to CFR members. He was a QINO (Quaker In Name Only).  
561) Zbigniew Brzezinski – Guy has been a DC mover and shaker for a long time. Trilateral Commission founder, Rockefeller advisor, member of International Crisis Group (ICG) and committed globalist etc etc. In his book _Between Two Ages_ he declared, "National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept."  
562) Jimmy Carter - Called for the destruction of M1 Garands used by the DCM (director of civilian marksmanship), and passed the CRA which led to sub-prime mess. In 1978, Carter signed into law the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act(FISA) that violated the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It set up the FISA Court, and later the FISA Court of Review, true "Star Chambers" that international law Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois says "are nothing more than rubber stamps for government requests for unconstitutional surveillance on U.S. citizens." But this is the sort of thing that is to be expected any more.  
"David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski found Jimmy Carter to be their ideal candidate. They helped him win the nomination and the presidency. To accomplish this purpose, they mobilized the money power of the Wall Street bankers, the intellectual influence of the academic community – which is subservient to the wealth of the great tax-free foundations – and the media controllers represented in the membership of the CFR and the Trilateral" _Goldwater_ pg 286

Sibel Edmonds is considered the most gagged person in America. She worked as an FBI translator and was fired for doing her job too well. She is not allowed to tell what she knows about various connections between US gov't officials and foreign agents. All the following are pictured (not named) by Sibel Edmonds at her boilingfrogs site:

563) John Negroponte (CFR)  
564) Elliot Abrams- (CFR) - Former member of PNAC, National Security Council; plead guilty in 1991 to lying to Congress about Iran-Contra affair.  
565) Eric Edelman – Member of Dick Cheney's staff under Scooter Libby on 9/11.  
566) Marc Grossman  
567) Brent Scowcroft (CFR)  
568) Larry Franklin – AIPAC espionage scandal; sentenced in 2006 to almost 13 years in prison, which is reduced to 10 months of house arrest.  
569) Dennis Hastert  
570) Roy Blunt – Citizens For Responsibility And Ethics In Washington (CREW) listed Blunt as member of most corrupt.  
571) Dan Burton (CFR)  
572) Tom Lantos – As co-chair of Congressional Human Rights Caucus hosted the fraudulent 'Nurse Nayirah' who was daughter of Kuwaiti ambassador. She told the big lie about the incubator babies.  
573) Graham E Fuller – State Dept, CIA and RAND  
574) David Makovsky – Director of Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) which is focused on influencing the media and the executive branch.  
575) Alan Makovsky – Founding member of Turkish Research Program which is one of the centers of WINEP.

And now back to the regular list.

576) George Tenet – Head of the CIA at the time Colin Powell was pulling a snow job on the world at the UN regarding Iraq. Think he didn't know better?  
577) Robert Mueller - Director of FBI, overseer of Pan Am 103 and BCCI scandal.  
578) Joe Lieberman (CFR) – This guy should be in jail for treason.  
579) Ronald Reagan - had a memorable line about government being the problem , but then proceeded to grow the government. Sheldon L Richman chronicled much of what Reagan 'accomplished' in a paper entitled The Sad Legacy of Ronald Reagan. 'Reagan has tripled the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion. Ford and Carter in their combined terms could only double it. It took 31 years to accomplish the first postwar debt tripling, yet Reagan did it in eight.' also Iran-Contra.  
580) George HW Bush - Claims to not know where he was on the day JFK was assassinated and according to former CIA agent Phillip Agee, " Bush is up to his neck in illegal drug running on behalf of the Contras."  
581) Diego Garcia - Little atoll out in the Indian Ocean that had indigenous people on it who the British shipped off to the African mainland and leased to the US as a base where apparently renditioned folks go.  
582) False Flag Operations - Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Northwoods, OKC, 9/11, The Shoebomber, The UnderwearBomber, etc etc ad nauseum.  
583) Eliot A Cohen – CFR, PNAC signatory and neo-con who advocated war against Iraq & Iran.  
584) Joe Biden (CFR) - Professes to be Zionist, has abysmal voting record on gun control, as ranking member of Senate Judiciary committee, failed to investigate BCCI etc etc and son Beau (covers up murder).  
585) General Ricardo Sanchez – Head of coalition forces at the time the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. An ACLU FOIA request showed his authorization to more than just detain prisoners. Take from that what you like.  
586) Clark Clifford – Wrote the National Security Act of 1947. In the 1980s, he was chairman of First American Bancshares and was instrumental in getting the corrupt CIA drug bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. As a Wall Street lawyer and banker he fits the corrupt mold to a tee.  
587) Bill Kristol – He co-founded PNAC.  
588) Robert Zoellick (CFR) – Was at Goldman Sachs, PNAC signatory and one time World Bank president. As US Trade representative he tried to muscle the EU to accept genetically modified foodstuffs.  
589) Robert Rubin & Lawrence Summers (CFR) – Wall street insiders who happened to be Treasury Secretary and Assistant Treasury Secretary in 1999 in the Clinton administration and instrumental in the repeal of Glass – Steagall, which allowed wall street to plunder America with impunity resulting in our current financial mess.  
590) Daniel Pipes (CFR) – Supported no fly zone for Libya.  
591) Rick Santorum – War on terror and 'enhanced interrogation' supporter. Doesn't like libertarianism.  
592) General James Marks - Pundit for war while his company tried to get a $4.6 billion contract for translators in Iraq.  
593) General Paul E Vallely - Another pundit for war.  
594) Phil Gramm -There is an oldie but moldie. Still busy way past his shelf life. Also involved in the repeal of the Glass - Steagall Act, which separated commercial from investment banking, and once repealed, precipitated the financial crisis. His reward - being made vice chairman of UBS, a giant Swiss global financial services company.  
595) Richard Armitage - Bilderberg group, Trilateral Commission, and CFR. Began in covert CIA operations (the murderous Operation Phoenix).  
596) Judge Jay Bybee signed torture memo sent to Gonzalez.  
597) Prescott Bush (father of George HW Bush; grandfather of George W, Jeb & Neil)- The Business Plot: In 1933, group of wealthy businessmen that allegedly included the heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush tried to recruit Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler to lead a military coup against President FDR and install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. Butler testified to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee in 1934. The committee supported Butler's allegations of the existence of the plot, but there were no prosecutions or investigations.  
598) E Howard Hunt – Death-bed confession of involvement in JFK assassination. He was CIA at the time and that would make it a conspiracy by definition.  
599) Dov Zakheim (CFR) – interestingly he just happened to be the Pentagon controller at the time that Rumsfeld reported the $2.3 trillion missing. And wouldn't you know it, the section of the Pentagon that got hit just happened to be where the accountants searching for the missing funds were working. Zakheim was also a member of PNAC and signed the document. Lastly, as though coincidences would never cease, it is believed by many that remote controlled planes were used on 9/11. Zakheim's System Planning Corporation was involved with remote airplane control technology.  
600) Foreign influence - "I've never seen a President - I don't care who he is - stand up to them. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn't writing anything down. If the American people understood what a grip these people have got on our government, they would RISE UP IN ARMS. Our citizens certainly don't have any idea what goes on."  
Thomas H. Moorer (1912 - 2004) Admiral, US Navy & Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff  
601) Eric Holder - Connected to OKC, Fast&Furious and Operation PATCON.  
602) Lloyd 'I'm doing Gods work' Blankfein  
603) John Deutch (CFR) - Former Undersecretary of War and former director of CIA; one time DoD Science Advisory Committee member, co-authored paper, "Catastrophic Terrorism: A National Policy" with Philip Zelikow and Ashton Carter; senior partner at Global Technology Partners, an affiliate of Rothschild North America; MIT professor. Narrowly escaped criminal prosecution after it was learned that he had kept a large number of classified CIA documents on non-secure personal computers at his home.  
604) Bill Gates – And really probably most of the other billionaires who can't seem to enjoy their money in some innocuous manner and insist on deeming themselves members of the 'lucky gene club' which must feed their megalomania and delusions of godhood. Gates after his Microsoft gig has moved on into the eugenics arena deciding that vaccinating 3rd world country kids will reduce the population somehow. I guess it depends on what is in the vaccine, huh? Not surprising since his father was director of Planned Parenthood. He has also decided to involve himself with a project to spray sulfate particles into the air over New Mexico. Sure, that'll be great for people. Couldn't he have just taken up painting or something?  
605) Okinawa - Is another imperial outpost. Last time I checked, WWII ended in 1945. In 1996 the Okinawa Prefectural Government drew up an Action Program for the return of US bases in Okinawa. It called for the return of US bases in three stages to achieve an Okinawa free of military bases by the year 2015.  
606) And really, all the other imperial outposts maintained by the US around the world.  
607) Norman Podhoretz (CFR)  
608) James Baker (CFR)  
609) Dwight D. Eisenhower (CFR)- He apparently in 1952 subsidized 80% of the French military effort in Vietnam. He was a lieutenant-colonel in 1941 and becomes a four star general in 1943. That is fast track promotion, but then, having dinner with FDR's daughter will do that for you. Operation Keelhaul was authorized by Ike which sent over 2 million Russians back to the monster that was the USSR.  
610) Israel is just another country as far as I am concerned and should not see one dollar of tax money. They actually attempted to sink the USS Liberty in 1967 and were never invaded for it, unlike the Vietnamese who _didn't_ attack the USS Maddox and were invaded. They are also purported to have nuclear weapons and nobody sanctions them or inspects them. It is a violation of the Symington amendment to the Foreign Appropriations Act and Glenn Act to send money to a nuclear nation that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspections. They regularly attack their neighbors to the north and have their own concentration camp called Gaza. They spy on us (Pollard), yap on and on endlessly about a holocaust that didn't happen the way claimed and according to Dr. Alan Sabrosky (former director of strategic studies at the US Army War College), are implicated in 9/11 with absolute certainty. They absolutely need to be cut loose from any support and learn to play nice with others.  
611) Fifty five million liters of Agent Orange were dropped on the Vietnamese. It is a weapon of mass destruction. It has caused birth defects. Someone must pay if there is to be any hope for the scales of justice balancing.  
612) ANZUS Security Treaty of 1951  
613) John Hagee – A zionist's dream preacher.  
614) John Bolton – Also known as 'Bonkers Bolton', member of JINSA & PNAC.  
615) Robert McNamara – Almost ruined Ford, did major damage to the country as secretary of defense, and finally moved on to global mayhem at the World Bank. Saddam Hussein was hung for causing far less murder and destruction.  
616) Henry Stimson - A Skull and Bones member who called for war against Germany in WW1.  
617) Curtis LeMay - One time Air Force general on whom the character of General Buck Turgidson in the movie Doctor Strangelove was based. I have a real problem with anybody advocating/preaching the use of nukes.

Chapter 13 - Rogues Gallery of Misfits, National

618) Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and should not be idolized. Thomas DiLorenzo in _Lincoln Unmasked_ presents a laundry list of usurpations, power grabs, and Orwellianisms about "Honest Abe". Quite frankly, John Wilkes Booth did us a favor by dispatching that monster. There is no way of knowing what other horrors this country was spared at the hands of the madman that brought to this country the costliest war in terms of human suffering.  
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."  
~ Abraham Lincoln, Debate with Stephen Douglas, Sept. 18, 1858, in Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writings, 1832-1858 (New York: Library of America, 1989), pp. 636-637.  
619) Woodrow Wilson was played for a fool. He was groomed by Wall Street, first into the Princeton University presidency and then into the White House. He was completely beholden to the monied interests.  
"When Wilson was elected, Colonel House literally moved into the White House and became the unseen President of the United States." Edward Griffin, _Creature From Jekyll Island_ pg 469  
620) FDR was a tyrant. Outlawing private ownership of gold?? Knowing about the attack on Pearl Harbor beforehand and allowing it to go on to further an agenda speaks of a deep pathology. His internment of more than a hundred thousand Americans of Japanese extraction into 'concentration camps' (his own words).  
621) Lyndon Johnson should have gone to jail long before he became president. Unsealing all those records really needs to be done.  
622) George Bush should have been impeached and forced to testify under oath about 9/11, torture et al.  
623) Dick Cheney should have been impeached and forced to testify under oath about 9/11, torture et al. His crimes are numerous.  
624) Norman Mineta should be forced to testify; he's also responsible for the creation of the TSA.  
625) Condoleeza Rice (CFR) - Needs to be in jail.  
626) Rumsfeld ditto - Here is the guy who as the Secretary of Defense, was running around the lawn of the pentagon when America was under attack.  
627) John Ashcroft - For starters, here's a guy who lost an election to a dead man. He did manage to get his son Alex tried at the state level for growing 60 marijuana plants. Alex got three years probation and 100 hours of community service. AG Ashcroft never went after the Waco killers or the real 9/11 perps.  
628) Janet Reno (CFR) - Needs to be brought to trial for Waco. Those kids she was trying to 'help' died because of her actions.  
629) Lon Horiuchi - Murder of Randy Weaver's wife.  
630) Larry Potts - Role in Waco and Ruby Ridge.  
631) John Yoo  
632) Alberto Gonzalez needs to do the perp walk for letting someone become a 'decider'.  
633) Bill Clinton CFR) - Needs to be put on trial for allowing Waco to go unpunished and for allowing the Chinese to acquire US technology.  
634) Hillary Clinton (CFR) - Needs to testify under oath about the murder of Vince Foster.  
635) John McCain (CFR) - Needs to testify under oath about his role in suppressing the search for POW/MIA's in Vietnam, his role in the Forrestal fire and his captivity at the hands of the Vietnamese.  
636) The FBI agents (and CIA agent) responsible for allowing the 1993 WTC bombing to go live need to be prosecuted. The FBI (and other alphabet soup agencies) agents covering up the Oklahoma City bombing also need to be prosecuted.  
637) Don't allow the Federal Reserve to print money.  
"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies." ~ Thomas Jefferson  
638) Abolish the FBI.  
"I found that the minions of the law - the special agents of the FBI - to be men who proved themselves not only fully capable, but also utterly willing to manufacture evidence, to conceal crucial evidence and even to change the rules that governed life and death if, in the prosecution of the accused, it seemed expedient to do so." ~ Gerry Spence  
639) Truman was a war criminal. His ordering of atomic bomb usage is a war crime. Failure to acknowledge that sets a precedent for future dictators-in-chief.  
640) Get rid of the Army Corps of Engineers. No company would/could remain in business after an event like the failure of the levees in New Orleans. Also responsible for midwest flood of 2011, from:  
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/07/03/116938/as-missouri-floods-anger-spills.html  
"Why did the six huge Missouri River reservoirs - including Gavins Point, the farthest downstream - fill to the brim and force the months-long release of floodwater? The short answer: **The Corps could have prevented or drastically held down flooding by opening floodgates sooner.** The reasons it didn't - reasons putting government water managers on the spot this summer - rest in a tangle of history, physics, meteorology and politics."  
641) The Tuskegee Syphilis Study - Tests conducted on 200 black men without their knowledge.  
642) MKULTRA – One program of many conducted by the CIA for 'controlling' the minds of men. Some refined form of this program probably continues to this day. Maybe that would explain the complacency of the American people.  
643) Able Danger - 2.5 Terabytes of data destroyed conveniently relating to the various 'war games' going on during 9/11. If in doubt shred the evidence (digital or otherwise)?  
644) 9/11 Commission - John J. Farmer Jr, listed on pg xiii of 'The 9/11 Commission Report' as 'Senior Counsel & Team Leader' in an upcoming book, states that "at some level of the government, at some point in time...there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened." 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up" A 27-year CIA veteran, Raymond McGovern, who personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials said "I think at simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke"  
645) The DoD is the single largest consumer of oil in the world. Bad enough that they consume so much, but then they go and beat on the producers as well.  
646) The Endangered Species Act is a great way to handcuff human activity. Ultimately part of the socialist agenda to curtail private property rights.  
647) Louis Freeh - Role in Waco and now the Penn State scandal.  
648) Sobriety checkpoints & roadblocks are a violation of the 4th amendment whether the supreme court sees it that way or not. If those 9 folks are the epitome of reason then it is truly the blind leading the blind.  
649) Wolfowitz, Feith, Perl (all CFR by the way) and the rest of the NeoCons.  
650) Nancy Pelosi - Impeachment is off the table??  
"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." ~ Thomas Paine  
651) Christine Todd Whitman (CFR)–She prevaricated and postured telling people the air was safe to breathe in NYC immediately after 9/11.  
652) NORAD – at a minimum, allowed 9/11 to occur and then lied to the 9/11 commission about it. Their inaction resulted in the death of thousands. That is criminal behavior.  
653) Rudy Guiliani - I'd really love to know who told you that building 7 was going to come down. Don't bother lying, we have the videotape.  
654) Al Gore for all his inconvenient bs. Tells everybody to cut down on energy use and his homes are energy hogs. Shows graphs created by graphic artists showing impossible data and stands to make billions on the misery of others.  
655) Mukasey - Federal judge in New York; presided over 1993 WTC bombing case; active in 9-11 cases, including Larry Silverstein's insurance claims; oversaw the detained material witnesses of 9-11, including the five dancing Israeli Mossad agents apprehended by the FBI.  
656) Chertoff - from:  
http://www.rense.com/general91/bt.htm  
"The key U.S. official behind the 9-11 cover-up was Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff, an Israeli citizen and son of a Mossad agent. Chertoff was the head of the criminal division of the Department of Justice at the time and the top boss of the FBI. From this position Chertoff managed the FBI's "non-investigation" of 9-11, and supervised the confiscation and destruction of the critical evidence from the crime scenes, such as videotapes, aircraft debris, and more than 99 percent of the steel from the World Trade Center. The destruction of this crucial evidence is a crime in and of itself."  
Now making money on the airport porno scanners. So, the crucial rhetorical question is, where exactly do his loyalties lie, hmmm?  
657) Skull & Bones - One sick and twisted bunch. Now you know why the US is the way it is.  
658) MIT - A bunch of PhD's on the government payroll who find, always in the governments favor. Their behavior refuting Cold Fusion is scandalous when their own data showed that it worked. That has set America back twenty years.  
659) Milton Friedman for bringing us withholding, why I can't even begin to imagine the levels of prosperity you prevented us from achieving.  
660) Secret Service - For allowing JFK assassination (thousands have seen the footage of agents throwing their hands up in disbelief at the motorcade and the documents provided to the Warren Commission by the Secret Service have been thoroughly debunked. ref: JFK and the Unspeakable by James W. Douglass pg 272), not getting Bush out of Booker elementary on 9/11 and lastly for confiscating books and buttons from Ron Paul supporters at the 2008 RNC. That's it, three strikes and you're out of the old ball game.  
661) Chuck Schumer - It is doubtful that a bigger hypocritical blowhard can be found.  
662) Barr - Just because you were the Libertarian Party candidate for president, doesn't make you a libertarian. I mean what a piece of work.  
663) Republican party for dissing Ron Paul. They are done, put a fork in them.  
664) Democratic party for not impeaching Bush, not cutting off funding for the Iraq war etc, etc. No need for you either.  
665) Libertarian party for selecting Barr. Never have to worry about me being a member again.  
666) Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and explosives (BATFe) - There is a t-shirt that states 'The ATF should be a convenience store and not a government agency.' There is no mention of alcohol or tobacco in the constitution and firearms are explicitly mentioned in the 2nd amendment. They also lie in court as a matter of policy, as shown in the JPFO movie 'The Gang'. They are nothing but a bunch of thugs.  
667) Alan Greenspan, Paul Volker, Ben Bernanke and all the to-be fed chairmen.  
668) Thomas Kean (CFR)– Lead role in 9/11 commission, appointed by Bush.  
669) Lee Hamilton (CFR)– Vice chair of the 9/11 commission.  
670) Philip Zelikow (CFR)- Led the 9-11 Cover-Up Commission; personally wrote the 9-11 Commission Report.  
671) General Richard Myers - In charge of USA air defenses on 9-11; lied to 9-11 Omission Commission about reasons for air defense failure on 9-11; promoted to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  
672) US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) - Re-introduced wolves to the area around Blue, Arizona even though 100% of the residents were against it. Also, appalling behavior towards Gibson guitars.  
673) Jesse Jackson - Booker T. Washington suggested,  
"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."  
674) General Mike Hayden - Under his leadership the NSA created a domestic telephone call database. He also championed the Trailblazer project which was to analyze data traffic on the internet. No doubt he will be soon (if not already) a CFR member.  
675) Jeb Bush – Was governor of Florida in 2001 and declared martial law just before 9/11. Now why would he do that?  
676) Diane Feinstein – Voted for extension of Patriot Act.  
677) Orin Hatch - As ranking member of Senate Judiciary committee, failed to investigate the drug money-laundering Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI); perhaps that was due to the fact that he was a recipient of largesse from BCCI.  
678) NORAD commander, Ralph Eberhardt is implicated in 9/11 and his false testimony to the 9/11 Commission is proof of it.  
679) Boskin - CPI; responsible for Substitution, Weighting, & Hedonics. Up until the 1980's the CPI was calculated in a straightforward fashion. There was a basket of goods that comprised the index and every year the prices of those items were compared to that of the previous year. Simple, accurate and gives a good idea of where things are headed. Boskin gets tasked at the behest of Clinton to 'new and improve' the idea. If one year steak is in the index and the next year it is really expensive, hot dogs are 'substituted' Ta da...no inflation. If gas and food are going up like gangbusters, they get a smaller 'weighting' that reduces their contribution to the overall value. Again, ta da. Lastly, if people buy computers that cost more but deliver more performance even though the older models are discontinued, 'hedonics' says the CPI is negative for that particular item. At one point, 46% of the CPI number was derived from these 3 factors.  
680) Wesley Clark - For his role in Waco.  
681) Jane Harmon – Lobbied the Department of Justice to reduce espionage charges against two AIPAC officials.  
682) Paul Krugman – Keynesian and hence virtually hopeless.  
683) Timothy Geithner – Probably never held a real job in his life.  
684) Janet Napolitano - There is a name that will go down in infamy.  
685) Congressman Randall Cunningham - Ended up in jail for taking $2.4 million in bribes. What a piece of work. Cunningham, had supported the death penalty for drug traffickers only to plead for leniency for his son Todd, caught by the DEA in January 1997 for smuggling 400 pounds of marijuana. Prosecutors recommended boot camp and a halfway house.  
686) Sen Richard Shelby for being a hypocrite of the worst kind. He stated,"..But, any person caught with drugs should spend the rest of their life in prison. I have no sympathy for them." Of course, in July 1998 his son Claude is caught in Atlanta's Hartfield Airport carrying 13.8 grams of hashish but receives only a misdemeanor possession charge and a $500 adminstrative fee fine.  
687) Florida - For allowing a private company collecting tolls on a _public_ roadway to detain a family for attempting to pay the toll with a $50 dollar bill.  
688) I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby (CFR)- He was Dick Cheney's chief of staff and leaked the covert identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. I'm not a fan of the CIA at all because of their sordid nefarious past, present and likely future, but still that's not sporting. And of course, Bush pardoned him even before he went to trial.  
689) Gerald Ford – His mistakes begin with the Warren Commission and continue on through his pardon of Nixon.  
690) Ted Olson - How about them cell phone calls that the even the FBI says didn't occur?  
691) Steny Hoyer - His email response to my gun control stance was to bring up the idea of domestic tranquility...what about your oath to uphold and defend the constitution (and its included Bill of Rights)? Oh, I forgot, just another globalist wannabe working for the powerz.  
692) Get rid of Legal Tender Laws.  
693) Throw the idea of a national ID card into the waste basket where all police state building ideas deserve to go.

Chapter 14 - Rogues Gallery of Misfits, State & Local

694) The militarization and swatification of the police is a disturbing trend. Again, make everything a crime and lots of law enforcement is necessary. Pay them with funny money, because after a while you'll have no productive class and no real wealth will be generated.  
695) Federal land. How can the federal government own almost 50% of the land in the US? How do the citizens benefit from that? Up until the early 70's the federal government had a homesteading program (right before i could make use of it)? I say bring it back. Homestead all of it. The states made a huge mistake even allowing federal 'ownership' of state land.  
696) Eliot Spitzer - On November 19, 2004 a group of survivors, emergency workers, and 9/11 families submitted a Citizens' Complaint and Petition to Spitzer's office, citing probable cause for an independent grand jury investigation to examine unsolved crimes in connection with the 9/11 attacks. He did nothing. Must have been busy with hookers.  
697) Bloomberg and all the other fiefdom running despot wannabes.  
698) Every state w/o a militia and I don't mean a State National Guard.

Chapter 15 - Rogues Gallery of Misfits, General

699) Agent provocateurs at protest marches and demonstrations need to be held accountable for their actions. The 'I was just doing my job' defense didn't work in Nuremburg and shouldn't work in America.  
700) Every toll road/bridge etc. that has already paid for itself, needs to have the toll collection stopped.  
701) The travel of government officials on various junkets to exotic locations needs to cease. It's not necessary for them to travel to find new ways to rip citizens off. Skype is free.  
702) No more no-knock raids.  
703) Odigo warned some folks in the WTC center, we should get them to warn everybody else.  
704) Eminent domain - probably original intent didn't call for expropriating land for IKEA or Wal-Mart. No more use of eminent domain to rob people to increase the tax coffers of jurisdictions.  
705) Any other nationality police or military units in these United States should be a no-no.  
706) SWAT - And how many raids were there in the '60's for example.  
707) The federal government and state governments colluding to strip the people of their rights.  
708) Seat Belt laws - When first introduced could not be given a ticket for that alone..voila, now they can. THEY LIED!...again.  
709) Police acting and becoming more like highwaymen every day.  
710) Judges who instruct the jurors to only listen to their commands.  
711) Ex Post facto laws - Since most of the laws created have nothing to do with actual crime, more than likely used as a punitive measure by the well connected to beat down on citizens.  
712) Mens Rea - Intent; once upon a time it was a requirement for a crime to have occurred.  
713) Exclusion of evidence that could be used to exonerate the accused -that's just immoral. Since the true function of law is to protect the innocent, any prosecutor or judge would be doing just the opposite and not benefiting society. If on the other hand, a suspect on trial has had other instances of questionable behavior, excluding that information from a jury isn't helpful either. There was the case of a babysitter who had a child die in her care. A trial ensued where it was not allowed to be entered into evidence that two other children in her care had also died.  
714) K-9 units allowed to attack humans.  
715) Alaska Airlines - For not accepting cash as payment for onboard purchases of food or beverages.

Chapter 16 - Misconceptions (Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics)

716) Consumer Price Index (CPI). Go to  
http://shadowstats.com  
to get a real picture on inflation. If the price of goods like gasoline, milk, bread and other items I use on a daily basis double in 5 years, that's not 4% inflation as the government statistics like to show. It's at least double that. The Bureau of Labor Statistics had inflation at 4.1% while the Farm Bureau had it at 11.3%. The BLS used substitution. Healthcare costs amounted to 17% of GDP but only 6% of CPI because of weighting .  
"There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth." ~ Charles Dickens  
717) The Civil War was not about what the textbooks claim. States rights went out the window when the South lost.  
"Without the right to secession, a democratic government is, economically speaking, a compulsory territorial monopolist of protection and ultimate decisionmaking (jurisdiction) and is in this respect indistinguishable from princely government." Hans-Hermann Hoppe, _Democracy The God That Failed_ pg 81  
718) Time to call a spade a spade and give up on Keynesian economics. Nixon quote, 'We are all Keynesians now.'  
"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."~ Lord John Maynard Keynes  
719) Vaccines that contained Thimerosal were proven in court to be linked to autism. Researchers showed causality many years ago. The government, AMA, and FDA dragged their collective feet. I suggest jail, restitution and something that worked years ago, tarring & feathering. If nobody pays, look for more of the same. Justice delayed is justice denied.  
720) 9/11 was a national tragedy and the clown-in-chief got the nation to 'go off half cocked and shoot its wad' (an expression dating from the revolutionary war). "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" ~Romans 12:19. Also, "For vengeance I would do nothing. This nation is too great to look for mere revenge" ~James Garfield  
A 20-year CIA veteran, Robert Baer, whose career formed the script for the movie _Syriana_ said that "the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job. From the literally hundreds of 'anomalies', omissions, distortions and outright lies that have been glossed over and passed off as the 'truth', a consensus panel picked a few as particularly problematic. From the 9/11 Consensus Report:  
1) The FBI did not list 9/11 as one of the terrorist acts for which Osama bin Laden is wanted. When asked why, Rex Tomb, when he was the head of investigative publicity for the FBI, stated that the FBI had no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.  
2) Experience, based on physical observation and scientific knowledge, shows that office fires, even with the aid of jet fuel, could not have reached temperatures greater than 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius).  
But multiple scientific reports show that metals in the Twin Towers melted. These metals included steel, iron, and molybdenum - which normally do not melt until they reach 2,700°F (1482°C), 2,800°F (1538° C), and 4,753°F (2,623°C), respectively.  
3) Over 100 of the roughly 500 members of the FDNY who were at the site that day reported what they described as explosions in the Twin Towers. Similar reports were given by journalists, police officers, and WTC employees.  
4)The Twin Towers were built to withstand the impacts of airliners having approximately the size and speed of those that struck them. And office fires, even if fed by jet fuel (which is essentially kerosene), could not have weakened the steel structure of these buildings sufficiently to collapse as suddenly as they did.  
Only the top sections of these buildings were damaged by the impacts and the resulting fires, whereas their steel structures, much heavier towards the base, were like pyramids in terms of strength. So the official account, which ruled out explosives, cannot explain why these buildings completely collapsed.  
5)Before or after 9/11, no steel-frame high-rise building had ever collapsed due to fire. If fire were to cause such a building to collapse, the onset would be gradual, whereas the videos show that WTC 7, after being completely stable, suddenly came down in virtual free fall. This building's straight-down, symmetrical collapse, with the roofline remaining essentially horizontal, shows that all 82 of WTC 7's support columns had been eliminated by the time the top started down.  
6)Having denied for years that WTC 7 came down at free fall acceleration, NIST repeated this position in August 2008, when it issued a report on WTC 7 in the form of a Draft for Public Comment. Scientific analysis by mathematician David Chandler shows that WTC 7 came down in absolute free fall for a period of about 2.25 seconds. NIST's Draft for Public Comment had been challenged by Chandler and Dr. Steven Jones in a public review, and NIST then re-analyzed the fall of WTC 7.In its Final Report, NIST provided a detailed analysis and graph that conceded that WTC 7 came down at free-fall acceleration for over 100 feet, or about 2.25 seconds, consistent with the findings of Chandler and Jones. Scientific analysis shows that a free-fall collapse of a steel-framed building could not be produced by fire, that is, without explosives (a fact that NIST's lead investigator, Shyam Sunder acknowledged in his discussions of NIST's Draft Report for Public Comment in August 2008).  
7)Pilots are trained to "squawk" the universal hijack code (7500) on a transponder if they receive evidence of an attempted hijacking, thereby notifying FAA controllers on the ground. But leading newspapers and the 9/11 Commission pointed out that FAA controllers were not notified. A CNN story said that pilots are trained to send the hijack code "if possible." But entering the code takes only two or three seconds, whereas it took hijackers, according to the official story, more than 30 seconds to break into the pilots' cabin of Flight 93.  
The fact that not one of the eight pilots performed this required action casts serious doubt on the hijacker story.  
8)Residents, the mayor, and journalists near Shanksville reported that no airliner was visible at the designated crash site; that contents were found as far as eight miles from the designated crash site; and that parts - including a thousand-pound engine piece - were found over a mile away.  
9)Several former airliner pilots have stated that Hanjour could not possibly have maneuvered a large airliner through the trajectory allegedly taken by Flight 77 and then hit the Pentagon between the first and second floors without touching the lawn.  
Also, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations Steve R. Pieczenik says he is prepared to tell a federal grand jury the name of a top general who told him directly 9/11 was a false flag attack.  
And then there is an investigative report by Carl Cameron of Fox News stating that, 60 Israeli spies, in the fields of military intelligence and explosive ordinance were detained on 9/11.The spies detained on that day, tested positive for explosives, including the ill-famed five dancing Israelis who claimed to be in New York to 'document the event.' Some were pulled over on the George Washington Bridge and their van tested positive for explosives. It's a well known fact that various intelligence agencies (CIA, MI6, Mossad and others) sometimes work together.  
Bottom line, when you look at all the failures in so many places (FAA, NORAD, CIA, FBI etc) any one of which could have prevented it from occurring, you know the fix is in. This one topic would require volumes to piece together and David Ray Griffin has done excellent work in that regard. Richard Gage and his organization of architects & engineers:  
http://www.ae911truth.org  
have debunked the official narrative (itself a contrived fiction) from their fields of specialty. Rob Balsamo and his pilots  
http://www.pilotsfor911truth.org  
have obliterated the tall tale spun by the government from an aeronautical perspective. There are countless others here in the USofA and around the world that would take pages to mention. From their efforts, the truth is coming out and will be known. Thankfully, the fantasy version of events will not end up in the history books this time. And indeed, Zogby conducted a poll between august 24th and the 26th, 2004. The poll showed that 49.3% of New York City residents and 41% of New York state residents believed that some national leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001 and that they consciously failed to act." The September 11, 2006 MSNBC Question of the Day poll asked, "Do you believe any 9/11 conspiracy theories that indicate the U.S. government was involved?" 58% answered, "yes, I believe there is evidence."  
" 'Never ascribe to malice those things which may be explained by stupidity.' That is an important phrase, and a necessary one; it keeps people from being paranoid. However, it has a corollary most people don't know: 'One MAY ascribe to malice those things which stupidity cannot explain.' " ~ Robert Canup  
721) Enough with the feel good history books. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden and Tokyo were war crimes. When Uncle Sam goes to war, innocents die.  
722) Gull Island off the northern coast of Alaska – supposed site of a mega oil field containing many capped wells.  
723) Why is DDT still banned and foreign aid tied to its non-use? EPA Judge Edmund Sweeney arrived at the conclusion that DDT should not be banned. In his final official decision, issued on 26 April 1972, he stated:  
"DDT is not a carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic hazard to man. The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds, or other wildlife... The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT."  
Judge Sweeney's decision was based upon sound science; backed by a 9,400 page transcript compiled during the hearings.  
"So I can tell you some facts. I know you haven't read any of what I am about to tell you in the newspaper, because newspapers literally don't report them. I can tell you that DDT is not a carcinogen and did not cause birds to die and should never have been banned. I can tell you that the people who banned it knew that it wasn't carcinogenic and banned it anyway. I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus irrevocably harmed the third world. Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the twentieth century history of America. We knew better, and we did it anyway, and we let people around the world die and didn't give a damn." ~ Michael Crichton  
724) How about the truth of TWA 800? It was brought down by missile according to 736 eyewitnesses, with the NTSB deferring to the FBI which was busy removing evidence etc etc.  
725) Fiat money - the US dollar has been fiat money since 1971 when Nixon reneged on Bretton Woods. The dollar began its trek into fakedom w/ the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Been losing value ever since. Isabel Paterson in _The God of the Machine_ doesn't mince words when she states:  
"The economists who advocate fiat money ( paper currency not redeemable in gold), or else an arithmetical sign which they call a 'commodity dollar' ( perhaps because it is neither a commodity nor a dollar), are below the mental level of savages. The savage applies number, but he has not advanced to the abstract concept. The advocate of fiat money has forgotten how to apply number."  
726) EPA certifying air quality in NYC immediately following 9/11 and first responders getting sick. Just recently, the EPA rejected a petition to ban the sale of the 2,4-D pesticide, a major ingredient in the Vietnam-era defoliant 'Agent Orange'.  
727) Wikipedia - great idea, but who/what is the definitive data source?  
728) Digg - The bury brigade is used for what- NOT censorship right?  
729) National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) - sloppy job on the explanation of the destruction of the twin towers. Seven years later and the explanation for the explosive demolition of WTC7 is thermal expansion?!? Should stick to telling the time and what the length of a meter is. Completely and criminally incompetent.  
730) The Gary Powers U2 incident was contrived.  
731) The Gulf of Tonkin -  
"During my three years in Vietnam, I certainly heard plenty of last words by dying American footsoldiers. Not one of them, however, had illusions that he had somehow accomplished something worthwhile in the process of making the Supreme Sacrifice." ~ Kurt Vonnegut  
732) How about the truth regarding Noriega?  
733) Or Saddam for that matter?  
734) What about Kermit Roosevelt and Mossadegh?  
735) How about Hamid Karzai and Unocal?  
736) How about the real details behind the Exxon Valdez?  
737) What really happened to the $2.3 trillion dollars that Rumsfeld said was missing on Sept 10 2001? I'd like to know where it went. Look at the date really closely.  
738) And for that matter, how the hell could Saudi nationals fly when no American could during the 9/11 grounding of all flights?  
739) KAL flight 007 – Supposedly shot down in September of 1983, the event is not what it appears to be. The official story is that the Korean airlines flight was shot down for violating Soviet airspace. When the passenger list is examined, one name sticks out. Dr. Lawrence McDonald was a member of Congress. He was very much anti-communist and had been for many years. He was at odds with the CFR and had spoken out against the Rockefellers, their allies and world government. Air travel is considered very safe unless you happen to be on a plane with a vocal critic of the New World Order.  
740) Permits required to have demonstrations, meetings etc. The first amendment guarantees the right to assemble. As such, just three examples: In Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105: "No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefore." In Sherer v. Cullen, 481 F 946 "There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of constitutional rights." In Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham Alabama, 373 US 262: "If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity."  
741) The record setting put options placed on the two airline stocks just prior to 9/11 were what, a coincidence?  
742) Speaking of statistics, nothing like stating that the 2012 budget deficit will be only $1 trillion dollars.. sure it will be, but what is not told is that that is after $250 billion (or more) are 'borrowed' from the social security trust fund. How wonderful this is.  
743) I was concerned about a draft a while back when I wrote this, but that was before I realized that going to make so many poor people with no other options, here it is anyway: Conscription (the draft) - it is a violation of the 13th amendment (among other things) as far as I'm concerned.  
"Where is it written in the Constitution, in what article or section is it contained, that you may take children from their parents and parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battles of any war in which the folly and wickedness of the government may engage itself? Under what concealment has this power lain hidden, which now for the first time comes forth, with a tremendous and baleful aspect, to trample down and destroy the dearest right of personal liberty? Who will show me any Constitutional injunction which makes it the duty of the American people to surrender everything valuable in life, and even life, itself, whenever the purposes of an ambitious and mischievous government may require it? ... A free government with an uncontrolled power of military conscription is the most ridiculous and abominable contradiction and nonsense that ever entered into the heads of men." -- Daniel Webster (1782--1852), US Senator Source: Speech in the House of Representatives, January 14, 1814  
744) The Rule of Law - Has become a myth. It needs to become real again.  
745) Warren Commission - Yeah.... as reputable as the 9/11 commission, and therein lies the problem. The history books concerning the Warren Commission need to be updated to show the conspiracy as alluded to by House Special Committee Assassination (HSCA). Acoustic analysis has shown a 95% probability of shots being fired from the grassy knoll. Fifty eyewitnesses to a grassy knoll shooter never had their testimony heard. Thomas Hale Boggs was a member of the Warren Commission. Boggs originally agreed that John F. Kennedy and J. D. Tippit had been killed by Lee Harvey Oswald and that Jack Ruby was not part of any conspiracy. Later he claimed that, "Hoover lied his eyes out on Oswald, on Ruby, on their friends, you name it." Boggs was also one of three Warren Commission members to reject the single bullet theory which is of course the foundation of the Commission's conclusions. The other two members were Richard Russell and John Cooper. Boggs's flight disappeared while traveling between Anchorage and Juneau, Alaska, on 16th October, 1972. No bodies were ever found. The Los Angeles Star, on November 22, 1973, reported that before his death Boggs claimed he had "startling revelations" on Watergate and the assassination of JFK.  
746) Savings Bonds - If a $1000 savings bond bought in 1946 was a scam, what would have changed?  
747) Feminism – An agenda crafted by the powerz to get women away from their kids and into the workforce for more taxes.  
748) Dial 911 and die; police are not obligated to respond. In 1856, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that local law enforcement had no duty to protect individuals but only a general duty to enforce the laws. South vs. Maryland, 59 US (HOW) 396, 15 L. Ed. 433 [1856]. A U. S. Federal Appeals Court declared in 1982: "There is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen."--Bowers vs. devot, U. S. Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit 686 F. 2d 616 (1982). Also, in this day and age, dialing 911 will get friends or family members killed.  
749) Marriage licenses – I don't know which is worse, some gov't official believing they could possibly have jurisdiction over a couple or the couples that go along with it.  
750) The common fallacy that the military protects our freedoms. They don't because they can't. Obviously, the run amok legislative and executive branches are busy eviscerating the Bill of Rights and thrashing the Constitution which it is the sworn duty of the military to protect. There is the conundrum.  
751) Victimless crimes - That is an oxy-moron.  
752) Flags in churches. Who/what is being worshipped?  
753) Doctors who assist in torture-- so what happened to the Hippocratic Oath? Right, they took the hypocritic oath instead.  
754) Our 'leaders' do not lead us where we want to go; they are 'rulers' who tell us where they want us to go.  
755) Pledge of allegiance – Someone's idea of unifying the people.  
756) National interest - Really means corporate interest.  
757) National Security Act 1947 – Wretched piece of legislation that brought us the NSA and the CIA.  
758) Rules of engagement - Just exactly how are you supposed to engage presumed innocent people? The court is supposed to determine guilt.  
759) Person of Interest - Either a suspect or not. Otherwise probably just a mechanism used to cast the person in a bad light. Should be grounds for defamation of character lawsuit.  
760) Protective Custody – A no-no unless the person asks for it.  
761) Material Witness – Legally, a person with information alleged to be material concerning a criminal proceeding. Constitutionally, I have the right to free speech and I have the right to be quiet. Sorry, constitution trumps legal.  
762) War on Terror - War on a tactic?  
"A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny." ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn  
763) Pearl Harbor – A total mind job on the American public. Sacrifice of a few thousand Americans to get the war machinery going again. Scapegoat a few high ranking officers. Broken enemy codes, credible warnings and even local Hawaiian newspaper talked about impending attack. Standard MO.  
764) Collective Rights – Supposed to trump individual rights? Mob or gang rule if you start with the flawed premise of 'might makes right'. Easily recognizable slippery slope.  
765) Alfred C. Kinsey - Co-author of Sexual Behavior In The Human Male . Rockefeller funded Kinsey's study of American sexuality. Kinsey's methods skewed the test sample by including a large number of persons imprisoned for sex deviancy, prostitutes and child molesters. Kinsey then used that data as supposedly representative of the normal population. Kinsey did tremendous damage to society and families by cooking the data and leading normal people to conclude that they were abnormal.  
766) The idea that the USA isn't an empire. Empires never survive, republics can survive and prosper. Give up on the dream of empire. History shows that no empire has survived. So why bother? You can't really believe that this time it'll be different, can you?  
"We have a choice to make once and for all: between the empire and the spiritual and physical salvation of our people. No road for the people will ever be open unless the government completely gives up control over us or any aspect of our lives. It has led the country into an abyss and it does not know the way out."~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, as quoted by Pravda (1986)  
767) National debt - At the moment (9/13/2012), the national debt supposedly stands at a gargantuan $16 Trillion. Even that number isn't accurate. What is not included in that is around $3 Trillion each for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Why not repudiate it (since it is probably 'odious') by having a jubilee, because it can never be paid back; better yet, why not have a jubilee for all debt. States have done this in the past.  
"By 1847, four western and southern states (Mississippi, Arkansas, Michigan, and Florida) had repudiated all or part of their debts." Murray Rothbard - _History of Money_ pg 103  
"The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts."~ Henry Ford  
768) The false notion that 'The People' actually have a say in Washington. Let's dispel that right now, they don't. 80% didn't want an economic bail-out, but ended up with (paying for in the future) anyway. One congressman, said that 'the vote had been equally spilt between no and hell no'. The people have spoken and the deaf listened not. Got rope?  
769) George Washington - Used military force to quell dissent in the 'Whiskey Rebellion'.  
770) GDP - 35% of which is imputed.  
771) GDP deflator is *expletive*.  
772) The notion that there was universal support in the north during the civil war, desertion was widespread in the union army - 1 in every 7 soldiers.  
773) Artificial Scarcity – Admittedly, some things are rare. Other things are made to appear rare. Always follow the money.  
774) Snopes and every other 'definitive' data source.  
775) Anti-depressants as being safe, especially for teenagers. They aren't. The pill companies don't care about you or anybody else, they want your money.  
776) The notion that the world is overpopulated. Consider Paul Ehrlich refuted. Though in all fairness, if you grow the government to ginormous size, then yeah, the world probably won't support many people. Right now, if you were to take everybody on the whole planet (all 7 billion some odd, if the numbers can be believed) and move them over to the North American continent, every individual would have almost an acre to themselves with the rest of the continents completely uninhabited. Do the math. It's a big planet folks.  
777) Death and Taxes' – The idea has been pumped into our heads for a very long time. Immutable and written in stone. Can't be changed and not worth discussing. WRONG. Not going to deal with the concept of death here, but taxes are a man made concept. Therefore it can be man-unmade.  
778) Glyphosate( roundup) and other herbicides – flat out dangerous despite the spin.  
779) Climate Change - What a scam and how it will proceed -- The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is the first mandatory, market-based effort in the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states have capped and will reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector 10% by 2018.  
780) Government use of 'special needs' while violating the Bill of Rights.  
781) Running out of energy - Not likely. Running out of fossil fuels, also improbable. The Russians quite a while ago suggested that abiotic oil was the reality and not prehistoric dinosaur decomposition. Old supposedly dry wells have been shown to be filling up. Just a thought, but don't get stuck in somebody elses dogma. A few factoids (some sourced):  

#1 Government officials are admitting that the Bakken Shale formation in western North Dakota and eastern Montana holds 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil, and some analysts believe that the actual number could be closer to 20 billion barrels of oil.  
#2 It is estimated that there are up to 19 billion barrels of recoverable oil deposits in the tar sands of Utah.  

#3 It is estimated that there are at least 86 billion barrels of recoverable oil deposits in the Outer Continental Shelf.  
#4 It is believed that there are 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil deposits in the Green River formation in Wyoming.  

#5 Overall, the United States is sitting on approximately 1.442 trillion barrels of recoverable oil deposits.  
#6 According to the Institute of Energy Research, the United States has a 120 year supply of natural gas.  

#7 According to the Institute of Energy Research, the United States has a 200 year supply of oil.  
#8 According to the Institute of Energy Research, the United States has a 464 year supply of coal.  

#9 According to Pastor Lindsey Williams, absolutely gigantic oil fields have been discovered up in Alaska that the American public is not being told about. Gull Island in particular.  
#10 Goldman Sachs is predicting that the United States will be the number one oil producing country in the world by the year 2017.  
When coupled with increased efficiencies, new technologies (not including suppressed ones), diversification and decentralization, the future energy-wise looks pretty good.

Chapter 17 - Victims & Whistleblowers

782) Curt Weldon – Knew too much and asked embarrassing questions. Cover-up of his plane crash continues.  
783) Let's cut the crap about JFK finally. No less an authority than Michael Baden, M.D., who chaired the forensic panel that reviewed the medical evidence when the case was reinvestigated by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1977-78, has remarked that, if the "magic bullet" theory is false, then there had to have been at least six shots from three different directions. Peter Dale Scott's _Deep Politics and the Death of JFK_ and James W. Douglass's _JFK and the Unspeakable,_ when taken together, paint a fairly complete picture of the how, why and who. Douglas Horne, who served as the Senior Analyst for Military Affairs of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), has now published _Inside the ARRB_ (2009), "I know, from my former role as a government official on the staff of the ARRB (from 1995 to 1998), that there is overwhelming evidence of a government-directed medical cover-up in the death of JFK, and of wholesale destruction of autopsy photographs, autopsy x-rays, early versions of the autopsy report, and biological materials associated with the autopsy. Furthermore, dishonest autopsy photographs were created; skull x-rays were altered; the contents of the autopsy report changed over time as different versions were produced; and the brain photographs in the National Archives cannot be photographs of President Kennedy's brain - they are fraudulent, substitute images of someone else's brain."  
"It is an agenda we are left with, not an answer. The enigma of the Kennedy assassination presents us with a challenge of constitutional seriousness. In the name of honest government, we must strive to bring to light, not so much the gunmen of Dealey Plaza, but the hidden powers which on that day were successful in their struggle for political dominance." Peter Dale Scott, _Deep Politics and the Death of JFK_ pg 312  
So, Lee Harvey Oswald was one tough cookie, able to modify and destroy photographs from beyond the grave...  
784) While we're at it, let's get real about RFK. Sirhan was standing in front of Kennedy and the fatal shot was fired from behind. Sirhan emptied his weapon from a location in front of Bobby Kennedy. The autopsy performed by Dr. Thomas Noguchi, however, showed RFK was hit by four bullets, all of which were fired from behind at upward angles. And five others were wounded by separate shots. Hello, are we conspiratorial yet?  
785) We're on a roll with abbreviations for names so let's include MLK. In 1999, William F. Pepper won a wrongful death civil action suit on behalf of the King family. Seventy witnesses set out the details of a conspiracy in a plot to murder King that involved J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the local Memphis police and organized crime figures from New Orleans and Memphis. The jury took an hour to find for the King family. Never made the national news. Imagine that. Read William F. Pepper's _An Act of State .  
_ 786) Let's get the straight scoop on cover-up of JFK jr's plane crash.  
787) And Vince Foster's supposed suicide.  
788) And Pat Tillman. Poor guy thought he was doing the right thing. Goes to Afghanistan, finds out the truth and gets silenced.  
789) And Sonny Bono. The news media claimed that he skied into a tree. The forensic evidence showed no injuries consistent with that claim, but rather that of a violent struggle. Sonny had been visibly moved by the Waco testimony among other things. I guess he ruffled somebody's feathers.  
790) Kent State & The Orangeburg Massacre (where 3 students were killed 1968 in SC, but got no press).  
791) Sibel Edmonds  
792) Private La Vena Johnson murdered in Iraq in 2005 and classified a suicide.  
793) Colonel Westhusing investigating corruption in Iraq commits 'suicide'.  
794) US Armed Forces - 1/3 of women serving are victims of sexual assault.  
795) Kenny Trentadue – Was beaten to death by FBI and/or prison officials and made to look like a suicide by hanging in 1995. The case of mistaken identity relating to the Oklahoma City bombing was not to be covered up as so often happens. His brother Jesse has decided to get the truth and his battle continues. In 1999, fellow inmate Alden Gillis Baker volunteered to testify that he witnessed Trentadue's murder. A year later, Baker was found hanged in his cell.  
796) Corey Maye – Another victim of the government sponsored blight on humanity that is the drug war. Maye happened to on the receiving end of a drug raid. The cops raided the wrong half of a duplex and Maye thinking 'home invasion' shot and killed one of the cops. The cops of course don't knock and identify themselves anymore, so things happen. He is convicted and rots in jail, but after the case is brought in to the public eye by Radley Balko, the case is revisited. He is finally released after having spent ten years in prison.  
797) Deborah Jeane Palfrey – DC madam had lots of dirt on bigwigs who 'suicides' by hanging herself after having publicly stated she had no intention of committing suicide and to suspect foul play if she turned up dead. Must have changed her mind, woman's prerogative I guess.  
798) Jose Padilla – Bad enough that any human being got the treatment that he did, but the fact that Padilla is a United States citizen makes it all the more contemptible. At his eventual trial one judge noted: " Padilla presented substantial, detailed, and compelling evidence about the inhumane, cruel, and physically, emotionally, and mentally painful conditions in which he had already been detained for a period of almost four years. For example, he presented evidence at sentencing of being kept in extreme isolation at the military brig in South Carolina where he was subjected to cruel interrogations, prolonged physical and mental pain, extreme environmental stresses, noise and temperature variations, and deprivation of sensory stimuli and sleep.. " from _It Could Be You: The Sad Story of Jose Padilla, Tortured and Denied Justice by_ Andy Worthington on uruknet.  
799) Ruby Ridge - Entrap a guy into breaking an unconstitutional law and then kill his wife and son.  
800) Richard Jewell - Another FBI mistake.  
801) Jean Seberg - One more.  
802) OKC bombing cover-up - multiple bombs, prior notification etc. From CNN  
SHOW: NEWS 11:27 am ET  
April 19, 1995  
Transcript # 920-19  
SUSANNE SEALY, Correspondent: Yes, LEA [sp], I can. The Oklahoma City police and the FBI have confirmed there is another bomb in the Federal Building. It's in the east side of the building. They've moved everybody back several blocks. They're trying to- obviously to- to- to unplug it so it won't go off.  
803) Mort Sahl Blacklisted  
804) Not that I'm a proponent of socialism (I'm not), but Eugene Debs (a socialist) was sent to prison in 1918 for speaking out against WW1 (violation of 1917 Espionage Act); got 900k+ votes for president while in prison in 1920. What the hell is that? We are Borg (read warmongers ), you will be assimilated.  
805) Kevin Benderman got screwed, as well as Ehren Watada( was court martialed). Michael New was court martialed in 1996 for refusing to wear a UN uniform when he was regular army. Bradley Manning for disclosing (if he actually did is still in question because he hasn't had his day in court) information. These are exactly the kind of men that should be leading in the armed services, not being punished for thinking.  
806) Irwin Shiff, Ed & Elaine Brown, Sherry Jackson Peale, Richard Simkanin and a host of others got abused by the 'system' and sent to jail for tax resistance/evasion/protest etc. They committed no crime against another human.  
807) Leonard Peltier  
808) The Marine Corps - For allowing a cover-up of the murder of Colonel James Sabow at El Toro MCAS in January 1991.  
809) Malcolm X - Bodyguard Eugene Roberts was undercover cop for the NYPD Bureau of Special Services which worked closely with FBI anti -"black extremist" COINTELPRO

Chapter 18 - Institutions & Dogmas

810) Public schooling is another government boondoggle. Every year literacy goes down and the costs go up. From:  
http://www.lewrockwell.com/gatto/gatto-uhae-3.html  
by the award winning NYC public school teacher John Taylor Gatto: "At the start of WWII millions of men showed up at registration offices to take low-level academic tests before being inducted.1 The years of maximum mobilization were 1942 to 1944; the fighting force had been mostly schooled in the 1930s, both those inducted and those turned away. Of the 18 million men were tested, 17,280,000 of them were judged to have the minimum competence in reading required to be a soldier, a 96 percent literacy rate. Although this was a 2 percent fall-off from the 98 percent rate among voluntary military applicants ten years earlier, the dip was so small it didn't worry anybody.  
WWII was over in 1945. Six years later another war began in Korea. Several million men were tested for military service but this time 600,000 were rejected. Literacy in the draft pool had dropped to 81 percent, even though all that was needed to classify a soldier as literate was fourth- grade reading proficiency. In the few short years from the beginning of WWII to Korea, a terrifying problem of adult illiteracy had appeared. The Korean War group received most of its schooling in the 1940s, and it had more years in school with more professionally trained personnel and more scientifically selected textbooks than the WWII men, yet it could not read, write, count, speak, or think as well as the earlier, less-schooled contingent.  
A third American war began in the mid-1960s. By its end in 1973 the number of men found noninductible by reason of inability to read safety instructions, interpret road signs, decipher orders, and so on - in other words, the number found illiterate - had reached 27 percent of the total pool. Vietnam-era young men had been schooled in the 1950s and the 1960s - much better schooled than either of the two earlier groups - but the 4 percent illiteracy of 1941 which had transmuted into the 19 percent illiteracy of 1952 had now had grown into the 27 percent illiteracy of 1970. Not only had the fraction of competent readers dropped to 73 percent but a substantial chunk of even those were only barely adequate; they could not keep abreast of developments by reading a newspaper, they could not read for pleasure, they could not sustain a thought or an argument, they could not write well enough to manage their own affairs without assistance."  
According to _Grim Illiteracy Statistics_ (2007), 42 million American adults can't read and 20% of all graduating high school students are functionally illiterate.  
"The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their common sense." - G.K. Chesterton  
811) The Prison Complex - Of course if you make everything illegal, then the courts can throw anyone into prison. So my inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (originally 'property') come under fire and Dept of Justice isn't there to secure my rights.  
"The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." Ayn Rand, _Atlas Shrugged  
_ 812) Classifying stuff under National Security...not really the mark of a free and open society.  
813) Democracy itself should not be worshipped. The United States of America was established as a constitutional republic. It was never meant to be a democracy. In a republic, individuals have rights which cannot be voted away. In a democracy, whatever the majority decides becomes law. The treachery of a mob has been written about for centuries. For an excellent examination read _Democracy – The God That Failed_ by Hans-Hermann Hoppe.  
814) The Constitution is in need of a 'Zeroeth' Amendment as proposed by L. Neil Smith, because as a set of prohibitions on government, there are no penalties spelled out for violations by the government.  
"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust." ~ Aquinas  
I include that quote here not because I like anger, but because despair is debilitating and this amendment **is** necessary.  
815) Crimes against the state is way too broad. Most crime, by definition, has a victim who is harmed. Restitution to the victim(s) would serve justice.  
816) Military chaplains should really decide where their loyalties lie? I read the Sermon on the Mount and wasn't struck with the need/desire to wage war with anyone, let alone everyone. What am I missing? Oh yeah, Sermon on the Mount II , 'love your enemies ...to death'.  
817) Property taxes are allowed how? I mean if I own the property, how can I be forced to pay the state taxes. That is a direct tax and under the constitution must be apportioned. Man existed long before the state. Get rid of them on the primary domicile and never allow them to resurface or quit pretending 'Home Ownership' or even property is something real.  
818) So let's see, we have 22 million some odd folks who work for the fed/state/county governments at the moment and produce _nothing_ living off the sweat of others. At what point will we have enough? How about when everybody does? 300 million parasites and nobody to feed on.  
"If men are good, you don't need government; if men are evil or ambivalent, you don't dare have one." ~ Robert Lefevre  
819) Cops, tasers and shooting _suspects_ 50 times. When bullies get to operate with impunity, something is wrong.  
820) Fully informed juries are an absolute requirement for justice to be served.  
821) The School of the Americas, which is now called the 'Western Hemisphere Institute For Security Cooperation', really needs to take a permanent recess and it's instructors given remedial training on what it means to be a human being. How about those immortal words of 'We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal...' See where I'm going with this? Thankfully, many Latin American countries have started withdrawing from this.  
822) For any gov't official on the fence about waterboarding or other questionable interrogation/torture techniques, they need to experience them first hand at the hands of some sociopaths. After that, I'd be willing to listen to them.  
823) People that petition the government have a right to a reasonable (reasonable as understood by the common man, not some tortured gov't legalese) and timely answer. A gov't response of 'frivolous' don't cut it. Force government officials to answer questions to the satisfaction of the person asking the question. Who works for whom? If they refuse or are unable, they should be fired for malfeasance(doing a lousy job).  
824) Unless the absolute rights of liberty, privacy and property are recognized and supported, the bedrock of American society will disappear.  
"The right most valued by all civilized men is the right to be left alone." ~ Justice Louis Brandeis  
825) The presumption of innocence must be returned to the people.  
826) The rights of individuals (the minority) must be recognized/guaranteed or the words of John Adams will have become prophecy fulfilled,  
"Mankind will in time discover that unbridled majorities are as tyrannical and cruel as unlimited despots."  
827) Employees of the government (at every level) must become personally responsible for their mistakes/misdeeds. No gov't employee should be immune from prosecution. In fact the threshold for prosecution should be much less than that of a layman. And since the gov't cannot be counted on to enforce it's own, some other remedy is required. As Thomas Sowell said,  
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."  
828) Quit falling for the lies that politicians tell (which is pretty much all they do) with reckless abandon and stop being warmongers. Stop declaring war on everything ie, Poverty, Drugs, Obesity, Education, Pollution, Terror etc etc etc ad nauseum. War is hell and government will keep you there as long as you let them.  
"Once violence is chosen as method, falsehood becomes principle." ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn.  
829) Government officials who knowingly prosecute/incarcerate innocent people, or who keep those people incarcerated once made aware of their innocence should trade places with them and make restitution.  
830) Break up the federal government. Checks and balances are a myth. The supreme court doesn't have the cajones, brains or common sense required to read the Constitution in plain english and judge accordingly. The rubberstamp/invertebrate congress won't stand up to the executive branch. So what have we got, but a three headed beast anyway. Unconstitutional laws made by the federal government are null and void.  
831) Government at all levels should not own assets or make investments. Assets will never be downsized to any reasonable degree and investments most certainly are collusion with some other economic entity, which most certainly skews the market. Most people don't know or haven't heard about CAFRs (comprehensive annual financial report). States, counties and the federal government have to create one every year. You really owe it to yourself to read one for your locality (and your state as well) and discover just how much money, assets and property your jurisdiction owns and still has the balls to tell you 'we need more tax money' .You will be amazed. Hell, you might even get mad. Look especially carefully at the section listing their investments (which include stocks, bonds, money market funds and cash). In effect, what they are doing is telling you that the checking account needs money and never telling you that a savings account exists and has a huge balance. What exactly is any jurisdiction doing amassing huge sums (which continue to grow yearly) that way? Saving for a rainy day, hmmm?  
832) People who report government fraud, waste and abuse are routinely fired, harassed and blacklisted etc. I say promote those people to the supervisory positions and have the people who authorized/condoned/looked the other way make restitution dollar for dollar on the losses.  
833) Homeowners who kill someone on their property, even if they are police officers/swat/fbi/dea etc. who mistakenly raid them, should never be arrested. The person(s) in charge of the raid, in the case of law enforcement must personally make restitution to family of the fallen.  
834) There should be no limitation on what government agency or official can be sued. Also, if found guilty, the culpable people make restitution and not the taxpayers. The burden of proof should be on the government and not the citizen. Also, have the trial in any public forum and not in a government run court.  
835) All encounters between police and members of the public should be recorded and witnessed by independent third parties. In fact every member of the general public must be allowed to videotape/record **any/all** public officials. No more hiding behind the badge etc to cover up abuses of power. As it stands, Maryland, Illinois and Massachusetts are the only states where it is illegal to record conversations with the police. Shame on those states.  
836) If you are doing nothing wrong (and remember, your rights were not and cannot be granted to you by government) and are not a suspect in a crime, the police have no business even talking to you. No one should have to get into a pissing contest with those that wield power. If you are not a suspect in a demonstrable/verifiable/documentable crime, they should leave you alone. There must be penalties on law enforcement types who 'make up' a crime and then proceed on that as probable cause. Again, no more hiding behind the badge and wreaking havoc under the color of authority.  
"The Law is the organisation of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do **only** what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all." - Frederic Bastiat

for a most excellent presentation.  
837) The use by the government of paid informants needs to have the compensatory component removed. Doing you civic duty should be reward enough. Honestly, would a convicted criminal not say anything to get their sentence reduced?  
838) Intentional destruction or tampering of evidence by the government should get special treatment, depending on the severity of impact of the potential evidence. If for example, soldiers get killed in a mission that would not have been undertaken if the evidence had existed, then the death penalty is warranted (again at the discretion of the surviving family members) for the perpetrators.  
839) Government sitting on information is a no-no. If evidence of a killer asteroid or UFO's or the giant spaghetti monster exists, show it to us. Government should not be allowed to decide what people can or cannot know. Hiding the truth (facts) is the devil's job, not the government's, unless of course they are the same thing, which would then open up another can of worms.  
840) If someone falsely accuses another person, and the accused is harmed, then the accuser must be held accountable and make restitution. This would apply to laypersons as well as witnesses for the state such as medical examiners, forensic scientists and criminalists.  
841) No individual or collection of individuals has any more rights than a single person possesses. Political action committees are a case in point. They use their numbers/money to bribe congresscritters for the 'right' to expropriate money from individuals. "Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." ~ Bastiat  
842) Fact is most of the department of justice needs to be fired anyway for misfeasance (not doing their job). Most of the executive branch and the legislative branch should be arrested by those that remain in the doj, for violating Title 18, Part I, Chapter 47 § 1001  
843) Get rid of the war businesses. "I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."  
~ Major General Smedley Darling Butler, USMC, 1881-1940. Butler, by the way, was one of only nineteen people awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor _twice_.  
844) Quit being such a bunch of cowards. "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populous alarmed, and hence clamorous to be lead to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H. L. Mencken  
845) Politics should not run or control our lives. "...Politics then reigned in Rome. She had her two sisters, Deceit and Greed, as ministers. Under their command, Ignorance, Fanaticism and Fury were seen to prevail in Europe. They brought wretchedness everywhere they went. Reason hid in the bottom of a well, along with her daughter, Truth. No one knew where this well was. If anyone had guessed, he would have gone down into it to cut the throats of mother and daughter." ~ Voltaire  
846) We need to redefine and restore our lost principles. This concept was recognized over two hundred years ago. Some things don't change. "When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil **.** " **~** Thomas Jefferson  
847) We need to quit deluding ourselves about government spending. Everybody pays for the fraud, waste and abuse in Washington, whether they believe it or not. It's not called DC (district of criminals) for nothing. Most people won't notice, because the money is stolen from citizens in a stealthy fashion. That $3 a gallon of milk that you purchased last year now costs $4 because the money is 'printed' to pay for each and every boondoggle. If you didn't know before, you will now, TANSTAFL (there ain't no such thing as free lunch). Over a period of two years, the average U.S. motorist uses about as much fuel as does a single F-16 training jet in less than an hour. The Abrams tank uses up 3.8 gallons of fuel in traveling one mile. Between 2 and 11 percent of the world's use of 14 important minerals, from copper to aluminum to zinc, is consumed by the military, as is about 6 percent of the world's consumption of petroleum. The Pentagon's energy use in a single year could power all U.S. mass transit systems for nearly 14 years.  
848) Don't waste another minute on the idea of gun control. Some would argue that we would have been better off under the British. I disagree. Rest assured however, there would have been no revolution if there had been gun control in the 18th century.  
849) Do not for one moment think that some people in government would hesitate to kill you or the ones you love to further their own agendas. 'Operation Northwoods' proves that plans have existed to do just that. Waco proves that even without a plan citizens will be killed by government agents.  
"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." ~ Thomas Jefferson  
850) We really need to have a free market. This country hasn't had a free market in a long time. Even in the days of the supposed 'Laissez Faire', it wasn't a free market.  
"To the extent that there is a central bank governing the amount of money in the system, that is not a free market." ~ Alan Greenspan  
851) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  
"If you would not confront your neighbor and demand his money at the point of a gun to solve every new problem that may appear in your life, you should not allow the government to do it for you." ~ William E. Simon  
852) Federal prosecutors really need to be put on a short leash. People in government lie to members of the general public on a regular basis with impunity, yet lying to them is a crime. Sounds to me like the whole thing is backwards. And what do you know, Title18, Part I, Chapter 47 § 1001 states: 'Whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully -(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.' Whoever should mean any human being on either side of the case.  
853) With the Constitution being the law of the land, the states need to be reigned in (since they were signatories) on the issue of jury trials. More and more, jury trials (and especially ones peers) are no longer an option in many states, even when up to 6 months in jail is a possible penalty.  
"I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution." ~ Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Thomas Paine, 1789.  
"If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offence is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is bound to obey an unjust law." ~ Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone  
854) Give up on the corporate owned media. Project Censored researched the board members of 10 major media organizations and found 118 people who sit on 288 different corporate boards. Have you seen the movie _Rollerball_?  
855) Abandon the idea of Utopia. It ain't happening as in it's impossible.  
856) Everybody has got a theory. If it can't be proven, theory it will remain. Quit forcing your theories into everybody else's heads.  
857) If you believe that everything will be okay when everybody works for the government, watch the movie Brazil and see if you still feel the same way.  
858) Adopt the Swiss model for the defense of the nation.  
859) Adopt the Austrian School of Economics model.  
860) Political Action Committees need to be rendered ineffective. Ultimately burdening society to enrich/empower special interest groups.  
861) While Public Schools exist, quit indoctrinating the students. Give them facts and not supposition and slogans. If that isn't going to happen, then George Carlin was right when he said, "the state wants obedient workers."  
862) Get rid of any government pension programs, let them make do with social security like the rest of us.  
863) No more laws. Work on rolling back the millions that we currently have back to the 1910 level. States need to start nullifying federal laws and counties need to nullify state laws.  
864) Stop idolizing the state. If you have to worship something, worship God, not the state. Idolatry is not a good thing.  
865) The theory of why governments come about is to work for the people (secure their rights). People need to come to the realization that the de facto (in practice) reason government exists is to impoverish (reduce the rights of) the citizenry. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.  
"A State is a territorial monopolist of compulsion - an agency which may engage in continual, institutional property rights violations and the exploitation - in the form of expropriation, taxation and regulation - of private property owners. Assuming no more than self interest on the part of government agents, all states (governments) can be expected to make use of this monopoly and thus exhibit a tendency toward _increased_ exploitation." Hans-Hermann Hoppe, _Democracy The God That Failed_ pg 107  
866) Quit having blind faith in science. Plenty of stuff that is bad for mankind has been discovered and invented. Einstein was purported to be a rather bright fellow. Explain to me then, how he got duped into working on a project whose deliverable product ended up incinerating 220,000 people.  
867) If cops destroy private property, they make restitution.  
868) No more building permits for individuals. If I own the property, I do what I want with it. The market will avail itself of missed or gained opportunities. I make the decisions and live with the consequences. Teach Caveat Emptor in elementary school.  
869) Global warming is a theory, ok? Don't treat it like the gospel and don't get the taxpayer to fund or subsidize anything. You want to quit driving, using electricity or exhaling CO2, that's your business, but don't impose your mindset on me.  
870) Forcing vaccinations on kids is wrong.  
871) The jury is out on fluoride in the water. Begin the debate. In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) sent out an email to alert its members of their recommendation to parents to not use fluoridated tap water to make infant formula. A few days later, the CDC followed suit. But neither of them openly informed the public! Twenty-four studies from China, Iran, India and Mexico suggest lower IQ in children from fluoride.  
872) Drunk driving arrests are straight out of the Minority Report. It is pre-crime. If the drunk driver has not caused any loss to life, limb or property, where is the crime? If he does, restitution to the wronged.  
873) Speeding - Same thing. Florida is proposing legislation allowing confiscation of the vehicle and imprisonment of the driver.  
874) It's either going to be personal responsibility or the nanny state where your range of choices will diminish steadily. You have to make a choice for yourself. You cannot however make that choice for anyone else.  
875) Charity is a choice that comes with free will. Institutionalization of that concept by the state will not and cannot produce the desired outcome.  
876) Many charities are fronts for groups/entities with hidden agendas. Do some research. I had contributed to the 'International Rescue Committee' (IRC) for example, only to discover much later, that it has affiliations w/ the CIA. Also has Henry Kissinger as a board member. That should be enough of a clue.  
877) Enough with the 'best country in the world'. That is a platitude. What are the criteria? By whose definition? What are the metrics?  
878) The militarism has got to go. At my son's high school graduation, eleven students were singled out for recognition for going on to attend military academies. The other 610 students weren't. So all the other professions and occupations are what, unworthy?  
879) If people want to drink unpasteurized milk, why not let them? Perhaps a better question would be, by what authority can the state prevent you from doing so?  
880) Throw away society and planned obsolescence. Only enriches the multinationals and impoverishes everyone else by forcing people to take their hard-earned money and buy the same things over and over.  
881) Why the constant pressure to erode the sovereignty of individuals?  
882) Why should war resisters have to go awol and flee to Canada and other places? Are these United States only for warmongers?  
883) Marginalization of political parties not part of the rep/dem duopoly.  
884) The near universal misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment - "Webster's University Dictionary--Infringed: 1. To violate or go beyond the limits of (e.g., a law). 2. To break (a law or agreement); fail to observe the terms of: violate. 3. To defeat: invalidate -to encroach upon something. Infringement: 1. A violation, as of a law or agreement. 2. An encroachment, as of a privilege or right."-If the 20,000 federal and state gun laws do not flawlessly illustrate Webster's definition of infringed, then no other repressive or invading action will. The recent Heller case before the Supreme Court is so much window dressing.  
885) Redistributionist schemes – Robbing someone (and yes, it is robbery and not just simple theft because the threat of violence is implied due to the fact that government has a monopoly on violence) to give to someone else really violates the 'thou shalt not steal' thing doesn't it?  
886) Nation Building – Leave the other nations alone.  
887) Spreading Democracy – Bad idea to be spreading.  
888) 501-C3 tax exemption for churches becoming beholden to who?  
889) Entrapment type 'crimes' – Clearly agencies involved in this type of activity have too much money and personnel for level of crime and hence the need to find something to do.  
890) My Social Security card says that it is not to be used for identification purposes. How about not asking me for it anymore?  
891) How about listing all the instances of the US military using biological or chemical agents like they used Sarin in Operation Tailwind in Laos?  
892) The ruling class isn't doing such a good job and maybe it is the exclusive prep schools that they attend that are to blame. Names like Andover, St. Paul's, St. Georges's, St Albans, Groton, Choate, and Episcopal. Such a righteous sounding bunch of names too.  
893) No more misnamed legislation. Pretty much every piece of legislation coming out of Washington has the opposite effect.  
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." ~ Philip K. Dick  
894) A man's home is his castle. 245 years ago (1763) William Pitt declared in the House of Lords: "The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail -- its roof may shake -- the wind may blow through it -- the storm may enter -- the rain may enter -- but the King of England cannot enter! -- all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!"  
895) Why not teach facts in school?  
"In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful." ~ Leo Tolstoy. So, since public schools are government schools, facts might not be convenient.  
896) No more taxpayer subsidizing corporate mergers.  
897) Tasers are not non-lethal. Several years ago, 400 people had already been killed according to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.  
898) The continued ascent of ignorance in this country and the propensity to believe lies, fabrications etc  
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." ~ Dr. Joseph Goebbels  
"Facts are to the mind what food is to the body." ~ Edmund Burke  
899) The continued support in this country of the World Health Organization and forced vaccinations.  
900) Deep Politics is subjugating and perverting America. It needs to be unmasked and eliminated. Peter Dale Scott does an exceptional job exposing it in Deep Politics and the Death of JFK.  
901) Cease weapons development. It is ridiculously expensive and how much better at killing humanity do we have to get?  
902) Quit complaining about some jobs going overseas. David Ricardo proved that everyone is still better off, nearly two hundred years ago when he formulated the theory of comparative advantage to illustrate the mutual benefits of trade. Taking Adam Smith's theory of specialization and applying it to entire countries, Ricardo showed that any two countries would derive greater benefit from trade with each other than either could alone (even if one country was superior at producing everything). Elegant and simple mathematical proof.  
903) Environmentalists who trample on private property rights for their agenda. And I don't apply that to corporations, because they don't have rights.  
904) College curricula requirements - Force everybody to pay by the credit hour at some inflated price to take an elective course like bowling or basket weaving so they can get a degree in a field they can't get a job in to pay off their student loan which can't be discharged in bankruptcy court. What a scam.  
905) Some college professors and other denizens of ivory towers. May never have had real world jobs but preach from on high about this that and the other thing. Of course some poor saps end up with professors that are there to bend young minds into establishment flunkies.  
906) Television - Sadly I don't believe it's going away..definitely a propaganda dispensing pacifier (if not an outright mind control device) to prevent people from ever becoming adults.  
907) Do-Gooders at every level use the same methods to achieve their goals or further their agendas. Taxpayer money.  
908) Vouchers...more socialism.  
909) If I want to make my own alcohol from stuff I have grown, where is the crime? And by the way that's a rhetorical question.  
910) Product Liability suits-- it's one thing if a product causes harm because it's defective. It's quite a different matter when some products are inherently dangerous ( lawnmowers, chainsaws etc). Life is dangerous... Take responsibility and quit blaming others for your own stupidity.  
911) Cell phones may very well cause brain cancer. If the cell phone manufacturers know that it does and they issue no warnings, hmmm. They may be shredding all the evidence anyway. My son's doctor who died from brain tumors, was firmly convinced that his heavy cell phone use was to blame for the tumors. Thursday, February 22, 2007(NaturalNews) 'Using a cell phone regularly \- even a modern one - raises the risk of developing a brain tumor for many users, a new Finnish study published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study, done by a collection of researchers from many universities and led by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 270 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone.'  
912) The push for a cashless society- cash is anonymous and Big Brother doesn't like that.  
913) The truly poor understanding that most Americans have of trade, money, savings, competition, and price, needs to change.  
914) Why the endless pooh-poohing about Cold Fusion?  
915) Support our troops magnetic ribbons. Wow. What a level of commitment that is. If you really supported the troops, you would want them home, out of harms way.  
916) July 4th celebrations – It was once upon a time a celebration of independence. Casting off the chains of a king. What is the celebration about today?  
917) The idea that the federal government is America. It isn't anymore than a tick attached to the dog is part of the dog. The federal government is the public face of the 'establishment' and as such, does the bidding of think tanks, non-profit tax havens for the rich and multi-national corporations. It does not serve you except on a platter.  
918) La Raza – Wouldn't care about it except for their 'reconquista' effort. Reconquista seeks to recreate old Mexico which incorporated parts of the Southwest and Midwest UsofA. I believe most modern day Americans are content with the current borders (with the possible exception of the empire builders). I suppose any kind of stability is out of the question for some people. Perhaps the La Raza movement is blowback for US policies towards Mexico, but long before I jump on that bandwagon, I'd love to see Mexico get its act together and stamp out the rampant corruption present in that country.  
919) Stop the spin; no more euphemisms like 'boots on the ground', when it is really young men sent to die for the whims of a madman or 'collateral damage' to describe dead , maimed and mangled women and children. Let's just tell it like it is. "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names." ~Chinese proverb  
920) Jurors Oath - That is anathema to justice.  
921) The replacement (usurpation) of common law by legal law.  
922) The morphing of 'peace' officers into 'law enforcement' officers.  
923) The Ivory Towers known as the University system.  
924) The memory hole - Something of consequence gets flushed down rather quickly. Much to the detriment of American society. For example it was known in 1923 that:  
"The responsibility for the last World War [WW I] rests solely upon the shoulders of the international financiers. It is upon them that rests the blood of millions of dead and millions of dying." -- Congressional Record, 67th Congress, 4th Session, Senate Document No. 346, 1923  
925) Distractions - When something of consequence occurs, a distraction is created and the original thing goes into the memory hole.  
926) The inordinate amount of resources expended in maintaining the status quo. Of course, for those who like the status quo, it's understandable. For a great many others however, the status quo is unacceptable.  
927) The false notion that 'society' and 'government' are interchangeable ideas.  
"But it may be asked where we are to go for relief from the misuses of social power, if not the State. What other recourse have we? Admitting that under our existing mode of political organization we have none, it must still be pointed out that this question rests on the old inveterate misapprehension of the State's nature, presuming that the State is a social institution, whereas it is an anti-social institution: that is to say, the question rests on absurdity. It is certainly true that the business of government, in maintaining 'freedom and security,' and 'to secure these rights,' is to make a recourse to justice costless, easy and informal; but the State, on the contrary, is primarily concerned with injustice, and its function is to maintain a regime of injustice; hence, as we see daily, its disposition is to put justice as far as possible out of reach, and to make the effort after justice as costly and difficult as it can be." From Our Enemy, The State by Albert Jay Nock pg 104  
928) Chickenhawks - Armchair warriors who are perfectly willing to send others to fight.  
929) The idea that cops don't lie – they do. This is actually a huge problem. The courts routinely accept testimony from a cop over that of a mundane (hat tip to Will Grigg for the term).  
930) ACLU - all for civil liberties, great! Conspicuously silent on 2nd amendment issues.  
931) Plea Bargains - What a great tool for the state to dispense w/ jury trials. Always take your chances with a jury, some of them are still human. The state on the other hand is not.  
932) Flying commercial used to be fun -anymore it's like a cattle car with gestapo personnel replacing hospitable flight attendants.  
933) New World Order - stop the lies, it's already well established that the enslavement of mankind is the goal.  
934) Gold - From The Gold Problem by Ludwig von Mises,  
"The gold standard did not fail: governments deliberately sabotaged it, and still go on sabotaging it." Now, according to Antal E. Fekete, "Mises fails to answer his own question why gold is the best choice to serve as money. Indeed, why not another commodity, or a basket of commodities? The reason is that the marginal utility of gold is unique in that it declines at a rate slower than that of any other substance on Earth." Seems pretty compelling to me.  
"Gold & economic freedom are inseparable" ~Alan Greenspan 1966  
"Gold Is Money, and Nothing Else." ~ JP Morgan, testifying under oath to Congress before the Pujo Commission, 1913  
"Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves." ~ Norm Franz, Money and Wealth in the New Millennium  
935) Gold price manipulation - In 1998 Alan Greenspan said, '..central banks will lease gold in increasing rates if gold rises'. At some point the manipulation can no longer be carried out. I believe that point is near indeed.  
936) The feeling of entitlement – To imagine that some poor slob you run into owes you something is folly. Having said that, I do believe that every American has the right to share in the resources of our country. Sadly that has not been the case up until now with well connected people being able to grab the lions share for themselves. That has been going on at least since the railroads were given vast tracts of land for expanding the railways westwards. "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." ~ Mark Twain  
937) Cops - They will enforce anything and therein lies the problem.  
938) Minimum Wage - Use reductio ad absurdum, how about a $100/hr rate?  
939) Privatization of infrastructure may have some merits, however, if the proceeds of the sale don't get delivered to the residents of the effected area in the form of a check and instead end up in the coffers of a gov't entity, then not a good idea.  
940) The idea of the US as the world's policeman...how does one even begin to address the inanity of that?  
941) Any "Fair Tax" proposal - Murray Rothbard said it best: "There can be no such thing as 'fairness in taxation.' Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a 'fair tax' is therefore every bit as absurd as that of 'fair theft.'"  
942) Moral relativism. Not good.  
943) Creeping fascism - look around.  
In 1944, John T. Flynn put forth eight points that he considered the main marks of the fascist state. They include: 1) government acknowledges no restraint on its powers, 2) government is a de facto dictatorship, with one sector dominating, 2) a capitalist system is administered by the government using an immense bureaucracy, 4) Producers are organized into cartels with special politically-granted privileges (syndicalism), 5) Economic planning is based on autarky (requiring extremely large territory and trade hegemony), 6) Economic life is sustained through spending and borrowing, 7) Militarism is the mainstay of government spending, and 8) Military spending has imperialist (global) aims.  
944) PETA - killed 83.9% of animals received between 2H98-2007  
945) Bertrand Russell - His ideas need to be repudiated, some of which currently are part of the blueprint for gov't behavior.  
946) Genetically modified food and organisms - Agrobacterium researchers didn't know Agrobacterium could infect animals and humans; the idea of substantial equivalence.  
947) Customer service in this country has gone down the drain. For those in management who are concerned with the bottom line, consider this: do you think I'll go back to a restaurant where the service is poor?  
948) Railroading of Dr. Jackson and his company eGold.  
949) Liberty Dollar confiscation.  
950) Political parties - Warned of by George Washington in Farewell Address 1796,  
'I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.'  
951) Mercantilism – Hailed by Keynesians and Marxists, so you know it's bad. A blend of economic fallacy and state creation of economic privilege.  
952) Updated lists of who were 'great' presidents based on some other criteria instead of the current 'great'='tyrant'.  
953) Taboo on subject of secession.  
954) Underwriters Laboratories - For firing Kevin Ryan and not sticking by its own certifications of the steel in the WTC complex; they were a name that could be trusted.  
955) Arresting people including reporters and not filing charges, isn't that really false arrest? Shouldn't they sue?  
956) The subtle demeaning of people when corporations change 'personnel' to 'human resources'.  
957) Maybe Aaron Burr was not a nice guy but at least he shot Alexander Hamilton, so my question is why isn't Burr on the $10 bill instead? Hamilton was instrumental in promoting a federal tax on whiskey to pay for a federal debt which led to the whiskey rebellion. Hamilton and his buddies bought much of the debt on the cheap in hopes of selling it at face value reaping a tidy profit in the process. Hamilton's only saving grace was that he advocated death for debasement of the dollar in 1792.  
958) Fees to visit public lands - Just a fundamentally wrong idea.  
959) Traffic court is a complete scam.  
960) The hope that a Constitutional Convention will fix deficiencies in the federal government. Not a snow balls chance in hell. The only thing that'll happen is the formality that is the 'Bill of Rights' will be removed with maybe a gov't 'promise' of a balanced budget amendment.  
961) The Prohibition on (some) drugs by the federal government. At least the prohibition on alcohol was instituted by constitutional amendment. Now, even that little technicality is no longer required. The Drug War is a war pitting the State and Federal governments against human beings. There is nothing in the constitution giving the Federal government any authority to even look glancingly at someone smoking a joint.  
962) Government growth - It continues unabated, sort of like the blob until it gets frozen and dumped in the wasteland.  
963) Revolving door – Between big business (or more precisely multi-national corporations) and government. What is good for corporations is more often than not very bad for humans.  
964) Qualified immunity – Sorry a flawed concept. If there is to be equal justice under the law (and there must be or America is doomed) for every man, then immunity, qualified or otherwise, must cease.  
965) Frivolous lawsuits – To be able to file a lawsuit against anybody at all for anything at all with no repercussions is ludicrous. I'm sorry, but that is bearing false witness as far as I'm concerned. Simple dismissal of the lawsuit is insufficient. The accuser must make restitution to the accused.  
966) Class action lawsuit (automatic enrollment in) – This approach relies on the notion of implied consent which is a fallacious concept.  
967) Anyone in 'public service' not putting America/Americans 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (hat tip to Mike Rivero for this idea) needs to be fired and the traitors in our midst jailed.  
"A system can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive 'treason' from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. The 'traitor' moves amongst those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself, for the 'traitor' appears not a 'traitor'? He speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a system, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of its nations, he infects the body politics so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. Beware, beware, beware..." ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C  
968) Definite need for a psychopathy test for anyone in public service.  
969) Mainstream medicine - If mainstream medicine really worked, then drug companies wouldn't have to commit scientific fraud to fake their clinical trials, doctors, drug companies and the FDA wouldn't be afraid of competition from nutritional supplements and natural remedies, drug companies would gladly test their drugs side-by-side with nutritional remedies to see what works best, and lastly, health insurance costs would be extremely low.  
970) Technocrats a.k.a. scientists etc - "From now on, depressions will be scientifically created." ~ Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1913  
971) Corruption - "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." ~ Tacitus  
"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed." ~ Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged", 1957  
972) Open Border Immigration – That made sense many years ago. This nation was founded by immigrants. Doesn't mean they did a perfect job, but still, the idea was/is good. We as Americans have every right to be selective of whom we let in. It is imperative at this juncture to be as discriminating as possible because we have a lot of issues to resolve. It is patently unfair to have those people who still have jobs to support interlopers. It is also unfair to all those people who came here through legal immigration not looking for handouts. When we get back on our feet, we can re-examine this but until then, seal those borders.  
973) The Constitution - It is not just a piece of paper but it is also not perfect and that is the root of the problem. When someone like Slick Willie can ask, 'what is is?', common sense is bound to fly out the window. Since the federal government is allowed by the states to determine the meaning of the document, they will always interpret it in their favor. The states for their part, have come up AWOL in defending the people against the predations of the feds. Now, whether the neglect on the part of the states is benign or willful (I believe it to be the latter) probably stems from the seventeenth amendment calling for direct election of senators by the people. Prior to that amendment's passage, the senators probably genuinely acted as an interface between their respective state government and the federal government. Today, they are members of the power structure's rubber stamp squad. They are there for themselves and have no interest in anything other than feathering their own nest. To vote for them is to buy into a system whose only purpose is to sell you down the river. Washington is corrupt beyond repair. "The individual stands upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the state or to his neighbors to divulge his business or to open his doors to investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no duty to the state since he receives nothing therefrom beyond the protection of his property and life. His rights are such as exist by the law of the land that is long antecedent to the organization of the state, and can only be taken from him by due process of the law in accordance with the Constitution. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights." --- United States Supreme Court, Hale vs. Hinkle 201 U.S. 43 at 74. Since 1905, cited over a thousand times in court cases both state and federal and apparently never reversed.  
974) Bureaucracy  
"Bureaucracy is a permanent internal occupation force." ~ William Buckler  
975) Bring back the Trivium if you want your children to develop critical thinking skills.  
976) Secret Societies - "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, secret oaths and to secret proceedings..' From John F. Kennedy's 1961 address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association. I agree with the language wholeheartedly, even though Kennedy was probably referring to the Soviet Union in that speech. When two presidential candidates (Kerry and Bush) are members of the same secret society, 'The Skull and Bones', with members being known as 'bonesmen', and can't talk about it because it is secret.. well, we have got our work cut out for us.  
977) Ignoring conspiracies - Simple fact is they exist and have been around and written about for thousands of years.  
"In the Bolshevik Revolution we have some of the world's richest and most powerful men financing a movement which claims its very existence is based on the concept of stripping of their wealth men like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Schiffs, Warburgs, Morgans, Harrimans and Milners. But obviously those men have no fear of international Communism. It is only logical to assume that if they financed it and do not fear it, it must be because they control it. " _None Dare Call it Conspiracy_ by Gary Allen pg 73  
"An article appeared in the New York Times on May 3, 1931, commenting on the death of George Baker, one of J.P. Morgan's closest associates. It said: 'one-sixth of the total wealth of the world was represented by members of the Jekyll Island Club.' The reference was to just those men who were part of the Morgan group, members of the Jekyll Island Club. It did not include the Rockefeller group or the European financiers. When all of these are combined, the previous estimate that one-fourth of the wealth of the world was represented by these groups is probably conservative."  
_The Creature From Jeyll Island_ by G. Edward Griffin pg 6  
"Conspiracy is the normal continuation of normal politics by normal means." ~ Carroll Quigley  
978) Modern day feudal system - In full swing with 99% of us being modern day serfs. Some folks have been actively attempting to implement the system for quite a long time.  
"For almost fifty years, from 1880 to 1930, financial capitalism approximated a feudal structure in which two great powers, centered in New York, dominated a number of lesser powers, both in New York and in provincial cities. No description of this structure as it existed in the 1920's can be given in a brief compass, since it infiltrated all aspects of American life and especially all branches of economic life.  
At the center were a group of less than a dozen investment banks, which were, at the height of their powers, still unincorporated private partnerships. These included J.P. Morgan; the Rockefeller family; Kuhn, Loeb and Company; Dillon, Read and Company; Brown Brothers and Harriman; and others. Each of these was linked in organization or personal relationships with various banks, insurance companies, railroads, utilities, and industrial firms. The result was to form a number of webs of economic power of which the more important centered in New York, while other provincial groups allied with these were to be found in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, and Boston." _Tragedy & Hope_ by Carroll Quigley pg 530  
979) Left-Right paradigm - Might as well forget about it because it is nothing more than a mechanism in the 'divide and conquer' strategy.  
"More than fifty years ago the Morgan firm decided to infiltrate the Left-wing political movements in the United States. This was relatively easy to do, since these groups were starved for funds and eager for a voice to reach the people. Wall Street supplied both. The purpose was to destroy, dominate, or take over but was really threefold: (1) to keep informed about the thinking of Left-wing or liberal groups; (2) to provide them with a mouthpiece so that they could 'blow off steam,' and (3) to have a final veto on their publicity and possibly on their actions if they ever went 'radical'. " _Tragedy & Hope_ by Carroll Quigley pg 938 (published in 1966)  
980) Health care - We were #1 in the early '60's and then what happened? Government got more involved and quality went down and the cost went up. In fact, more money per capita is spent on health care in the US than in any other nation and a greater percentage of total income is spent on health care in the US than in any United Nations member except for East Timor. Cartelization will do that to you. Funny how the price of computers has gone down dramatically while the processing power/storage/graphics have gone up just as dramatically. That is exactly what should have happened in healthcare.  
981) Corporate financing of elections - Jonathan Turley who is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University said, "The supreme court justices who voted for uncontrolled corporate financing of elections must be removed and the ruling must be overturned." He is absolutely right in his assessment.  
982) Fusion Centers - Federal law enforcement entities mixing in or fusing with local ones. A very bad idea.  
983) Tariffs and Protectionism - they constitute part of trade wars, which is itself the middle section in the progression: currency wars -> trade wars -> shooting wars as Gerald Celente likes to point out. As Adam Smith pointed out in _The Wealth of Nations,_ "In every country it always is and must be the interest of the great body of the people to buy whatever they want of those who sell it cheapest. The proposition is so very manifest, that it seems ridiculous to take any pains to prove it; nor could it ever have been called in question had not the interested sophistry of merchants and manufacturers confounded the common-sense of mankind." Henry Hazlitt in _Economics in One Lesson_ expanded on that by stating, "But whatever led people to suppose that what was prudence in the conduct of every private family _could_ be folly in that of a great kingdom? It was a whole network of fallacies, out of which mankind has still been unable to cut it's way. And the chief of them was the central fallacy with which this book is concerned. It was that of considering merely the immediate effects of a tariff on special groups, and neglecting to consider its long term effects on the whole community."  
984) Ignorance of the law actually is an excuse as long as _mens rea_ (intent or guilty mind) is absent because as with so much else, omission rears its ugly head. Blackstone's just intentions version states: 'ignorance of the [or a ] law, _which everyone is bound to know_ , excuses no man.'  
985) Class structure of American society – this would not be a problem in a better world. "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that is making war, and we're winning." ~Warren Buffett  
Interesting quote from Buffett. I am going to assume that when he uses the word 'rich', he means by his definition and not mine.  
986) Misunderstanding of the militia – 10 USC Section 311: Militia: Composition and classes The militia of the United States consists of all able – bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.  
The classes of the militia are –  
the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and  
**the unorganized militia** , which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.  
987) NFA act of 1934, licensing required for machine guns? Right. Even though automatic weapons are the preferred tools of military types. "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have **sufficient** arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~ George Washington  
988) The Vietnam war was as divisive an event in American history as you are likely to find. Maybe that is why it was fought?  
989) Local Sheriffs should prevent federal authorities from exercising unconstitutional authority in their jurisdictions and the citizenry must back them up.  
990) Vote fraud as evidenced in Ohio, Florida in 2004, New Hampshire and other places in 2008 and throughout the primaries in 2012. It needs to be eliminated and voting made completely transparent and brain dead simple. Up until that time, voting in any national race must be considered a colossal waste of time and downright foolish.  
"Where the election is a fiction, the representation is a fiction also. Like will always produce like." ~ Thomas Paine to the Citizens of the United States, January 29, 1803  
991) Habeas Corpus needs to be re-instituted immediately. Only congress can suspend it and then only under two conditions.  
992) Stop allowing the prison system to provide slave labor for corporations. If the practice is allowed to persist, an incentive exists for more laws, prosecutions and incarcerations.  
993) Get rid of the capital gains tax for individuals. In an inflationary economy, how can that even be calculated? For example, if I bought a widget last year for one dollar and today they sell for two dollars, so I sell mine, technically I have made a 'profit' of one dollar. However, no real gain has been realized. The buying power of the dollar has only gone down. Quit treating people like corporations and vice versa. I don't get to write off all my losses do I? My car, clothes, toothbrush etcetera go down in value every year, even without inflation.  
994) Enough with the Armageddon business. If God really wants that to happen (and there are a lot of people who don't believe that to be true), then it is going to happen without any input from you. Square your position with the Sermon on the Mount. If you can't, then your cognitive dissonance may take you to the law of the jungle which is what you end up with when you move away from the rule of law and The Golden Rule.  
995) Give up the 'us and them' mentality." And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." ~ (Matthew 12:25)  
996) Forget government funded research of any kind. Government skews the market and taxpayers pay when it is done.  
997) Make work programs and other pork projects - The group CAGW (Citizens Against Government Waste) identified 11610 such projects for 2008 totaling $17.2 billion dollars.  
998) Sierra Club - What a socialist club. Private property rights be damned, huh?  
999) Bentham utilitarianism has taken root and must go.  
1000) Equal justice under the law - Nice concept, but currently that's all it is. Because in the class system that exists in the USofA, the rich and well connected get off easier than the rest of us. Those are the facts  
"Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere."  
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."  
"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."  
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."  
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~ Martin Luther King  
1001) You and me

Chapter 19 - Epilogue

Some endings bring new beginnings and as Americans, we are facing a new beginning. How we handle it will determine our future. We know that some things change while others do not. A case in point comes from James Madison,  
"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance." The government that was created by the Constitution and was supposed to be constrained by that document has been co-opted. Thomas Jefferson recognized a basic truth when he wrote,  
""The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." Lysander Spooner was prophetic when he said,  
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."  
As they say, "rust never sleeps" and so it is. Through willful neglect and perhaps apathy and complacence, the Constitution no longer constrains the government as it was intended to do. If the problem were confined to the government, we could still manage. In an environment of free discourse and free dissemination of accurate information, the necessary changes could occur. But as retired Air Force Colonel at the Pentagon Karen Kwiatkowski, who blew the whistle on the Bush administration's efforts to concoct false intelligence about Iraq, pointed out,  
"I have been told by reporters that they will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 9/11 story, because to question the government story about 9/11 is to question the very foundations of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary career. To question the official 9/11 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary." And question the official story we must. The revolution is upon us in the same way John Adams points out in a letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 24, 1815,  
"What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760 - 1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington." As observed by John F. Kennedy,  
"A revolution is coming, a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough, compassionate if we care enough, successful if we are fortunate enough, but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability. " He also said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."  
"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." -- Aldous Huxley (Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961) I hope Aldous is proved wrong and that the 'final' revolution is a peaceful one where information will be used to dispel ignorance and antiquated institutions are swept aside for the good of humanity. The industrial revolution was a watershed event for humanity producing a net positive effect. Today, almost the poorest people in America are better off than the richest a scant hundred years ago. There is no reason that that cannot continue. Continually we are learning to do more with less and innovation continues apace. That is good for America and indeed the world as a whole. The Declaration of Independence was a good document, but like the Constitution, it wasn't perfect. It is worth reflecting on the words contained within it to see the parallels to our own situation. If we can see the deficiencies in our history and accept them with humility, the future may be bright indeed.

The Declaration of Independence  
Action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776  
The Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America  
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.  
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.  
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.  
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.  
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.  
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.  
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.  
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.  
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.  
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.  
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.  
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.  
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.  
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.  
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:  
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:  
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:  
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:  
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:  
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:  
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:  
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies.  
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:  
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.  
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.  
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.  
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.  
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.  
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.  
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.  
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.  
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. - And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
