what turmoil, where is it and where is it likely to occur?

Tumoil in the Nederlands:

We are watching the world governments become embroiled in unrest, especially in the radical East, meaning the unwashed, uncivilized, eh, after all I can call them this, why? based on the evidence before me and everyone else as presented by the far off DC media outlets of the state--they can't be the Etat le quatrieme but the word was first by Burke first(in parliament in 1787), since the function of that philosphic form of government is to tell the truth and report the news).

Anyway, these governments all over the middle east, pale before a rising tide of people protesting their rulers(who are after all totalitarian, if not in the form of a "prime" minister, in the form of religious radicals who adhere to a faith which rewards people for murder and which practices "matricide" telling us from one muslim Cleric that recent earthquakes are caused by women who go uncovered for God's sake).

Solution Soviet?

And those unwashed who wraile unjust situations as they are wont to do, as they have in Madison Wisconsin these past few days) are amongs the midst of nearly 1/5 of our working population working for, you guessed it--GOVERNMENT. AND THEY BELONG TO A UNION.

This doesn't sound much different to me that the Soviet, with it's basic ruling class while the rest of the peasants suffer up the grains which pass down the angled glass to pile up in mounds of death in an hour-glass - so they support the ruling 20% and the unwashed percentage of our population who live in some form or another, on Governments handouts, such as "struggling by on unemployment which amounts to enough to keep them out of the workforce, with 60 millions of us living on Food Stamps, and we have not dealt with the unemployable, the percentage of the population which has already lived 3 and 4 generations on Government provided hand to mouth speciousness, of a government which really doesn't give a damn). Getting tired of the parentheticals, huh?

okay, lets look at this then: what does this large class of people, working for government really mean? 20% of the US Population as a whole is 61 million. Now, granted, that is an invalid number but I use it to make a point: 60 million people collect food stamp funds. that is 20% of our legal population.

here are the numbers in general: 80,000,000 people are employed, approximately 1/4 of the population. If unemployment is 10%, or more(which we know from state by state numbers that the unemployment population is approximately 10%, we can then say that somewhere around 5 to 10 million people, formerly employed are now unemployed. This does not include people who have been removed the from employment statistical calculation model, perhaps as much as 10% by various estimates. And this does not include the percentage of population living on Government Stipend(Welfare). We know that the number at any one time is about 30,000,000 people, collecting some form of welfare. This number is misleading in itself. But here are the government numbers:

If you use those who are supported by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)--best described as a federal largess to indigent families with dependent children--as stated by the Dept. of Health the data suggests 1.7% of the total population that derive over 50% of their income from Welfare supports.

The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 8% of the total population in the United States.

This breaks down to:

39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients

38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000

17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000

That is a lot of people. OH. I forgot to mention, These are 2000 US Census numbers, not even 2010. What if this number has increased by 10 or 20%? If there are 60 million people collecting food stamps, It would mean that as a percentage of just collecting some form of public support has not just increased by 10 or 20% -- it indicates a increase by a factor of at least 2. I haven't found yet what the true numbers are but as a case in point we are able to ascertain from 2000 numbers(FROM THE US Government) That things were not exactly in good shape with 8% of the population for the Census of 2000(308 Million) is living on some form of Government
support. What do you suppose the numbers are today? 20%? More?

As for the underemployed, I count myself as one of those. But my point is, if the total workforce should number somewhere around 90 million(+ or - 5 million) and we have an elderly retired class of approximately 60,000,00 we can estimate based on 2000 numbers that the population not contributing to the general welfare of the union and it's greatness is about
140 million. This leaves a population of 80 million workers, 20% of whom work for a goverment entity(18 Million of there are 90 million workers and 16 million if 80 million workers is the figure used(Government employment has increased at a steady rate each year).

So what does that mean? of the work force, those doing anything constructive is about 65 million people. Those that are figuring out how to spend their money is 16 to 18 or figuring out how to get more of the public's money or hold on to their vastly great benefits package which most in the private sector cannot afford. We have not even dealt yet with Government works who are covered by unions let alone the Teachers union for those teachers who are employed via a union in the state.

Now, I am not an expert in these matters. I just know that there is something wrong with people say they support and why they support it. And it keeps us on total opposite sides of the fence. This little bit of looking at numbers tells me that among the work force, only about 80% are contributing to the gross National product -- doing something constructive. And yes, I will grant you that there is necessary government. Today, since 2005 for the most part, I also
barely fit in this category, as my source of income is largely based on Government programs and grants.

But good God! One Fifth of the Workforce? And this is a good thing? Largely centralized bureacracies in DC? Wasn't this locale chosen and carved out to prevent such centralization and empowerment of the state?

Or am I one of the few who can see that there is a problem here?

Or how about the 30 million people with dependents living on some form of government stipend? How many of those are among the "unemployable" and how many of those have never been off Government welfare? Is 30 million a realistic number? I think it is undercounted by 2010 and 2011 standards.

I have not given the "under" employed number as that is not an official number(yet I guess).

But the bottom line is that can expect that 20% of the legal population is working for Government(who knows how many illegals are employed?). This truly is back from the middle east into the belly of the empire. We are sitting around wondering why all of a sudden over 30 or 45 days our food cost has realistically increased by 20 or 40%. Oh yes, we can purchase items that are not top of the list, forget name brands and eat a lot of meals prepared with hamburger. But hell, 2 months ago I could afford 4 evenings per month of ribeye steak at a cost of about 15 dollars.

This really is the Belly of the beast

If I am employed and make some money that supports 1 household, and suddenly I am finding my grocery bill jumped from 60 to 110 bucks, what on earth is happening out there to people on food stamps, WICk, Welfare, etc? I will tell one story though, and this goes back to the tail end of the problems we faced after the last Democrat Commissar in chief had caused due to his shennigans during the last oil and food crisis in the US -- my brother's ex-wife worked for an agency and one of the responsibilities was to show people on welfare and food stamps etc, how to prepare nourishing meals on their alotted funds.

I was non-plussed to hear the story about purchase of rice and beans, the latter requiring soaking prior to cooking(such as navy, northern, Red and Kidney beans. This was in order to get protein into meager grocery budges. Her common complaint? I had to teach, she said, how to prepare meals from Scratch. I found them boiling unsoaked beans and they didn't have a clue...

So what have I been saying? That was around the time Carter left office or shortly after. Which means 30 years ago. Think about it. The US Population in 1930 was about 130 million. by 1945, the move to the city was to complete the locale of where the citizens lived -- now the majority after this date lived in urban areas. 35 years later, perhaps 2 generations and a bit removed at the largest extent, people can't even fix navy beans and cornbread, a staple of the families of the depression for God's sake.

73 to 2013? Come On!

Are we really seeing things for what they are? Do you see what happens now if Gas prices rise 50 cents(which they have since late summer, early fall, we are now at the 3.00 per gallon level or worse, for example, in urban areas. There is applicability and effect at play here and will discuss this below with the energy crisis begun in 73(Oil Embargo) Aramco's nationalization under Saudi Control and this should strike fear in the hearts of hard-working Americans everywhere but they are clamoring, it seems, for "Free Government Health care". So we get to stand in line for what was once a service provided by the private sector and age discrmination is going to take place in this program sooner or later, something that was obvious to adults in the 50s and 60s is now less obvious as are many things, as dependence upon government is a way of thought, philosophy, religion and life.

So we are returned from the far off meager empires to the new socialist states united(except for some of us)...Here in the middle of the empire is one thing we say and it won't be like the rioting that has occurred in Egypt and Tunisia for example. Or tianaman Square for another example. Those things occurre in uncivilized locales. It's one thing for far-flung outposts to collapse, for the "uncivilized," "unwashed" masses beyond the gates to storm their capital buildings and raise hell. But surely that couldn't happen here, could it?

Well don't believe it because we are just witness to 40,000 rioters almost marching on the hallowed halls of Wisconsin -- who were they you ask? Well, hell, Government employees. That's all. The existence of the state virtually guarantees it!

With this in mind, we issued the following words of caution to our Fellow Reckoners on Wednesday:

Warning: what happened in Egypt may be ripening here.

Oh Really now, what are they protecting? There health care plan(not the one the US Citizen would participate in. And avoiding a cut in pay. And this is at the state level in a "Progressive State" with a budget deficit for the coming fiscal year of more than 3.5 million dollars. This is 'Just one' Progressive state that is bankrupt. I can list more: California, Washington, Illinois, New York at the major level -- now can you guess the action of our current admininstration in helping out in this problem? Right. Bailout. MOre stimulus. More bankruptcy far worse than where it started(now) that should never have been a problem except that in those states, the percentage of government workers exceeds 20% and the percentage of unwashed exceed the national numbers by far(as I outlined them above).

A Rumor of Distant Insurrection

Think unrest in the US is far off? What happens when they have to soak their own beans and bake cornbread that doesn't come in a box.

You figure it out. Either you invoke a bit of sanity in what you are doing or we will get more of the same progressively worsening bullshit solutions from inept people who are intent upon establish a feel good, green idea with solar power and wind energy and when they have to go to work(if they can work since the private sector doesn't fit the current vision and scope and breadth of the Tax-dollar socialist solution outreach of the current administration and congress(even Republicans) I suggest that my admonishments from the middle of 2009 are appropos and are occurring in about the timeframe I laid out when I suggested purchase of food and firearms ought to be on your to-do list. And think seriously about removal to a climate more conducive to free people, free markets and avoidance of a Government Gulag.

I don't think much of Political Correctness and I don't care what Islam thinks of me

I thought I would start off with an Obit that was published in the London Times and then follow that with an observation about Political Correctness. The the piece related to the title which is a gent from Britain discsussing Islam, bedbugs and using basic common sense. He is, as they say, Spot On!

Obituary - Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

On Political Correctness:

There is an annual contest at Duke University for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.This year's term was: "Political Correctness."

The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.

and last, watch this U-Tub Brit discussing Islam. Of course his country has a very severe problem. Not as bad as France, or Spain. but here it is and he is telling the basic truth(Based on Common Sense).

I think I said it would be 5 bucks

Now It's 6.00 and counting

The American Left is succeeding in creating a third world country here. South Florida is already there and pretty soon, if we don't control the damned borders, the southwest will be off to Mexico. Except fuel prices and drug lords are so bad we need Black Jack to make a run south for Mexico City the same as Sherman headed for Atlanta.

God God Y'all. The Saudi's have under-estimated their reserve by 40%. That spells disaster considering the Social spending of the Obama Admin. This will be 5 times worse than 73-85. Get ready to plant your own groceries. With employment headed for 30% things are going to get tuff.(You don't believe that the counted rate at 9% isn't a true 20 percent do you?

Best--David

Wanna Know What all this Government has got us?

PLAY THE DAMNED MAP!
This is getting ridiculous! Now we are all going to be equally starving, and hell, most of us now don't know how to plant their own groceries, won't eat food that isn't shrink wrapped and want to whine about dirt found on produce in the vegetable aisle.

Go Figure!

It's Time To Stand UP! No Matter What! We "Don't Scare Easy!"

Have you noticed the Little Drama's Surrounding the current administration? They Depend On Drama. Without the Drama and the facile use of Debate Fallacy techniques as ancient as Plato, The American Left is now standing in the open. The next thing they figure to do is force things -- And they are already using the Government Agencies to work their spiel.

Don't Buy Into IT! These are Criminals who oppose the Constitutional Rupublic openly. This is not to let the GOP off lightly -- they are as much to blame as the rest of the Liars, Cheats, Thieves and Whores of DC.

GET INVOLVED! Because We:
Don't Scare Easy!
Click the title above for a video of the performance, see the lyrics below: Performed by Tom Petty and Mudcrutch, the Theme for the film, "Appaloosa" Starring Ed Harris, (Story by Robert Parker, who passed a couple of days ago).
The song fits well enough for me. -- Dai

I Don't Scare Easy

My love's an ocean
You better not cross it
Yeah
I've been the distance
And I need some rest
Yeah I had somebody once
And damn if I lost her
I've been running
Like a man possessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Yeah, I am a loser
At the top of my game
I should have known
To keep an eye on you
Now I got a God
It ain't never the same
Yeah, I got a dream
That don't ever come true

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Sun going down
On a canyon wall
I got a soul
That ain't never
Been blessed
Yeah and I'm a shadow
At the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin
I ain't never confessed

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

It's true that in our political and economic status of Today's world that we have been run into the ground. We have unemployment of more than 10%. The nations debt which crossed the 10 Trillion dollar mark at the end of 2008 emerging into 2009 -- we are now expecting 17 Trillion dollars of Debt by the end of 2010--IF Obama and the red brigade accomplish their goals.

Is it any wonder that this piece, America Rising, has come upon the scene?

I myself have never voted for promise and change from the American Left. But I am aware that others may have thought,
well, this is a chance, give it one... We have done this and at the end of one year we are looking at tragic circumstances and potentional Disaster.

Liars, Cheats, Thieves and Whores -- and they Ain't necessarily Alcholics!

Perhaps these observations will provide a bit of assistance in why I do not believe our one-party system works(and the truth of the matter is, it is one party of Liars, Cheats, Thiefs and Whores).

Beginning of Rant!

Look at the DNC and what they are doing to try to get and maintain 60 votes and we are not even at a time when we could vote for a bill -- the bill that doesn't provide health care but begins and starts up another God Damned entitlement -- no one could possibly understand -- except it is CRAP!.

Whether there is a hobgoblin messing with the mechanism, a hidden conspiracy or not, it is time to wake the hell up, America!


It doesn't make any difference to me -- What is going on is occurring because we give a stamp of approval for our politicians of both of these parties to do what they are going to do. BY VOTOING FOR THE SORRY BASTARDS!

Case in point: There are indeed Conservative Republicans. Ronald Reagan, the only conservative that ever ran for office in my lifetime is a tremendous example. He had vision, he communicated well and essentially, within the modern framework, attempted to reign in Government and was successful. Taxes were cut. The so called "revolution" worked for a time. The GOP gained the Senate, House and promptly lost the oval office -- by running a standard, progressive candidate for the Presidency.

Case in point: Lindsay Graham -- This gentleman is well spoken, but he is not a conservative. I like him, his demeanor, etc. But he is no different than any of the Republicans who ran and held office after FDR was elected -- all the way up to the what began occurring during Reagan's second term in office. From 1934 until 1994, 60 years, The DNC, the unions, liberals, socialists and statists, controlled the legislative body of our government, it's agenda, it's programs(entitlements), and the morale and ethical tone of the nation.

Of course, we had long ago given up being a Republic -- by instituting so-called Constitutional amendments. We instituted the primary system that fueled the socialist state -- the 16th amendment. After all, what could it hurt? It would only be a maximum of 7% tax rate, that's what they said during the congressional hearings on the 16th Amendment, they said, and only on "true income".

NOW LOOK WHAT WE HAVE DONE!

And it is: We.

WE ELECTED THEM!

There were many other institutions created -- The FED, a central US Bank, integral to the apparent plans of the Keynesian internationalist economy. I can think of many more but in 1789, the very year of ratification of the Constitution, the battle related to a Central US Bank began and has been an ongoing saga since that time.

I have never and will never vote for a democrat. It took too long to dismantle the infrastructure created by FDRs statist machine -- when you elect a dog-catcher democrat, socialist, communist, progressive, you help them build the underlying infrastructure they will use to motivate voters to their cause -- and Cold Warrior's observation about precinct level activism in the Tea Party discourse is totally apropos...the Republican Rene Dubois version of think globally, act locally. Of course, in general, conservatives, republicans, and so-called conservative blue dog democrats don't think they are progressives. They feel they are doing their bit, busy out there working, building, and doing. Politics and volunteering is not their natural forte. But they keep buying the bit -- which means they buy the premise. That is the exact definition of what a socialist is! Progressive, go along and have government do it. Tax for this and tax for that. Need that land, well then take it. And so it goes.

I have witnessed in the person of my grandfather, my father, and now a voting history of 50 years of my own, year after year after year, supporting the GOP. We three, have never, across three generations, voted for a democrat. But what did we get?

DEMOCRAT LIGHT! - with a HEAVY TINGE OF STATIST FASCISM!

But, most of the time, as my father observed back in the 1960s and his father before him(in the 40s and 50s), he was, he said: "voting for the lesser of two evils."

How true.

Because, aside from Reagan, I have generally been unable to cast my vote for someone -- rather, I have cast my vote in opposition to the left -- and they have controlled, and are "building the crescendo" under which we will all live in a state of Tyranny -- it is here, that statist police, behavioral controlling Big Brother.

I recall discussing this with my father and uncle in the late 1970s, saying we need not fear 1984 the Fiction, rather, we need fear and prepare against the fact. Homeland security is turned inward on our borders and the ability to defend oneself against the incursion of illegal hoards is severely limited. I have witnessed this border patrol nonsense far from the border crossing points. Due to our "liberal" laws, we do not enforce the very drawn lines which define us -- geographic boundary. Is it any wonder we watch while an idiot boards a plane with a bomb he intended to detonate, when we don't allow profiling to be the basis for which we examine serious intent by these immoral cretins? Instead, the BP and Homeland Security is aligned in a politically expedient manner and we have congress pondering how to be polite enough and firm enough at the same time.

There are too many things to note that are characteristic of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time the action is taken. No. I won't vote for a Republican. It won't wash any longer. Voting for the lesser of two evils doesn't work. Voting for a progressive, which is what most Republican's appear to be, is speeding toward the all powerful "state" at the speed of a train instead of the rocket--or, if it is wrong, it is speeding in the direction of that wrong at less speed than the far left but they will eventually arrive at the same place.

Instead, I will vote for a candidate who will uphold the Constitution as originally intended -- all institutions aside. And here, I can paraphrase Paul Bondi in the book, The Brave Cowboy, speaking to Jack Burns in a jail house in New Mexico -- I will never betray a friend for the sake of a law. I will never betray a friend for the sake of an institution. Great nations may fall in ruin before I fail to live by this design.

And so I will arrive finally at the underlying theme of my comments -- I will no longer cast a vote for a Republican or volunteer my permission for them to do what they will do -- because they do not have 1787 and it's principles embodied in their platform -- the central focus of their belief is not a Constitutional Republic at all. They do not deserve my support. The GOP's tenants are not mine, and the men and women who run for office do not represent the ideals of the founders -- okay, old dead white men had done what needed doing, established it and we have *#*#'ed it up.

Every damned time I turn around, someone wants additional tax revenue. Now the Political left(Democrats, socialists, communists, greenies, etc), want to put the IRS in charge of ensuring that all citizens are forced to pay for socialized medicine. Just what we need -- Added Gestapo Powers given to the Gestapo arm of the Socialist State -- It is the engine which fuels the whole socialist/progressive/Statist, behavioral controlling state -- This idea of course, given and implemented for our welfare -- here in the US we have a tax system proposed by none other than
Karl Marx and Friedrick Engles themseves -- 1848!

So let's take a look at what is going on in this country since 1913:

We have implmented, HERE!, In the United States, Plank 2 of the communist party manifesto - IT is through this mechanism that Plank 1 is implemented. If they can take it, you don't own it. What are the first two planks?

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax
elf - a graduated income tax being a component of the Communist Manifesto!

The planks of the manifesto have an intent and it is identified prior to the listing of the planks, or platform and idealogy of the Communists:

When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.

It sounds like they intend a revolution on paper first, in law second, and in actuality third, if necessary. When has it never not been necessary?

The document then goes on to address the basis of the planks themselves: abolition land and property ownership, inheritance rights eliminated(sound familiar here in Amerika?); Progressive Income tax (just exactly what do you think title 26, USC really is?); elimination of private transportationand centralized Government ownership and control of transportation(Sound's Green to me!); Control of the media(Sounds like a DNC Plan, and it is!); The implmentation of ownership by the state or conotrol of the means of production(Industry and business).

Who are these revolutionaries battling against? Well obviously, those who earn a higher income than others, those who own the property and own the means of production, the businesses and this would mean-- OH YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS? HEALTH CARE! Health Care is 1/7th of the total US Economy. They state who their enemy is -- in 19th century terms but it is truly most Americans when you consider the state of the 3rd world and the socialist/communists states around the world. They say it terms of the struggle between capitalism and the owners, the ruling class or the bourgoise.
I don't own a business. But I want the right to do so. I don't own the means of product, but I want the right to have it if I can get it. Even if I am a wage earner, I have a better chance at a good lifestyle than anywhere else in the world.

I don't know about you but I do not buy their socialist crap and it's about time the rest of you "wake the hell up!"

We must KNOW the boundaries of 1789 and live by them, and if we aren't willing to die for them, we will "hang separately, in our estrangement from our fellow patriots."


TWO PARTY SYSTEM, MY ASS!

what was then a "miracle at Philadelphia" is now gone awry-- run by politico's, liars, cheats, thieves, and whores in cahoots with Bankers, Lawyers, sheriffs and the bottom-dwelling scum-suckers behind it all--all are sorry bastards, stealing us blind.

My rejoinder to thinking that the Tea Party should focus on party politics is framed in my above personal reference but embodied in a rejection of behavior control laws -- siezure of private property, the formation of an internal state police force(HOMELAND SECURITY), the instrument of siezure of funds and other internal policing -- The Gestapo - The IRS.

End of Rant!

This is the eve of Noel: Reflect upon your blessings in this troubled time!

And we celebrate this eve of the initial christening in this great land. We may at times find ourselves in fear near the waters of Babylon, crying next year, in Jerusalem -- but I tell you, Jerusalem is before us as is the kingdom of God. If we do not see it, we are captive just as the Isrealites were those many years before the Yeshua.

Charles Dickens wrote, and being the absolute pessimist, I must frequently recall this passage:
"reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."

I have in my life lived the "scrooge", and I do not wish others to dwell upon this great calamity as other than my own making for just as Old Ebenezer was wont to grab onto all wealth, by whatever means, so to did he come to recognize that his judgement lay in his deeds to and for other men. "Oh! but he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!"

There was a book published back in the 1960s which address the apparent duality which seems to exist in most people, both ill and well, diseased of mind or magnificent in perception -- but that duality, that perception causes the war of two things, and it is this that I observe of myself.

At the moment of awakening, with the Spectre of the future laid before him, no answer was given, only a pointed finger to the tomb. Our Christian heritage tells us that we shall be judged by our deeds on earth. The Buddhist explain life in terms of Samsara and the possibility of awakening....and the "sociable God"? He is all things by all names to all peoples and would have us experience the kingdom in the here and now not at the other end of some other millenia.

But Scrooge, had visitors four and in that one moment he became awake to his only possible redemption. In service to others.

In this veign then I hold patriots of the past in the most esteemed regard for they were the pathway of a liberalism that freed men in the realm of man as well as allowed him to express his faith and hope in whatever form of religion for whatever reason, honoring whatever name chosen with which to address God.

Those freedoms and ideals are eroding under an onslaught of Statism -- an artificial entity to become the means of succor for the masses. That is a failed idea and a failed concept, a false god and a false religion. A false teaching and faulty observation of the nature of things. I prefer not to reduce ourselves to creating a commi-tsar in place of the tsars we have elected and cannot seem to be rid of.

I do not wish to "dwell in the skellars of the dome of the Universe of creation". I will instead, to focus my mind and my heart tonight and tomorrow on the blessings of my life. I pray you will do this simply and with heartfelt meaning and that you dwell yourselves on these thoughts. I pray as well that we have not created the complete chain of slavery which our own Caesar, now become godlike, will make us wear ourselves having forged the very links in the creation of those very same chains.

May God Bless, as Red Skelton would say to all at each closing of his television program.

Tonight then is a nite of 9/12 as our Republic's flame dwindles in the force of an ill wind. Help rekindle that flame of honor, of sticktoitivity, with enthusiasm and zeal.

Merry Christmas to all!

May God Bless... David

Well, well. Navy Beans and Ham -- or Uranium?

All of a sudden, the international left and it's American conspiratorial Counterpart has been outed with a peak at a few Emails, that demonstrate that the English organization falsified data to prove man-made global warming. Hmmm.

I imagine Al Gore seeing all of his hopes turn down the drain of humanity, the way his political career has done in the United States. He will have much good company, including join the Green-movement, mover and shaker, co-conspirator, Mikhail Gorbachev in the ash-can of political viability, sans the lies, cheats, thieves and whores of the American Left, in general and of the Green-movement specifically.

Want to reduce CO2 emissions? There are two ways and wind energy is not one of them, unless everybody goes back to eating navy beans and ham -- which we all may have to do if the left continues to spend us into an oblivion from which the survivors will find difficult to recover--and navy beans and ham nationwide could not match in the production of useless gas as is produced in the environs of our nation's capital, and as we are finding out, harnessing gas bags is a terrible proposition without shooting them first. In that case, I think truly we are at the point that Claire Wolfe Observed not that long ago at the Libertarian Convention in Arizona in 1996 - "It's too late to work within the system, and too early to shoot the Bastards(Yet)".

I like Uranium.

Harold Bell, my grandfather, went off to Nevada in 1924 to drill exploratory wells for finding Uranium. Harold drove a new Model-T to Nevada and it was a used up hunk of iron by the time he had returned in 1925.

Harold's son, my father, Edwin, worked in the "Nuclear energy program" so to speak, for all of his life -- probably died of intersticial fibrosis due to Molybdenum. It makes me wonder at the powers and influence of Government, as the request for an autopsy was conveniently fouled up and if their were such contaminated organs, they were discarded before the family request was carried out.

I don't know that the autopsy would have revealed anything more. But it may have done.

My father was a patriot of the first kind, you know, 1789? Not some false statist version as was instituted in many bureaucracies instituted at the bequest of and since FDR. At any rate,he had a very good life, was in the midst of things that happened in the middle 50 years of the 20th century and he was a very honorable man. I miss him terribly. wouldn't wish a death by this disease upon anyone, but in a way, he did not witness the events of 9/11. I believe if he had, he would have died of a stroke or heart attack, watching an attack of this dimension on our soil.

I should recall here, that my father's "nuclear" career began, so to speak, in the Military-- the US Army Aircorp. He was one of the men who flew to Tinian in 1945, and use that Island as a base for attacking the Japanese forcing a close to World War II. Not mentioning names, he was the type of man who noticed things and he noticed that many of the officers were poor dumb bastards and didn't know how to do anything and the way most of them became officers was to have obtained prior to service a college degree. The piece of paper didn't keep them from being ultimately dumb, but it got them an officer's rank and the money and power that went with it.
After the war, one such officer being the reason he did so, my father attended the University of Missouri and graduate Cum laud in 1948 with a degree in electronic engineering. Thus did my father end his military career working with a nuclear weapon delivery system(The radar on the planes Bock's Car and Enola Gay), but later in designing and developing radar for [--?--] for various [--?--]'s delivery systems.

I like Uranium, not as much as gold in the short-term(which may be a long term if our left-ist, socialist congress remains in session another day or two), BUT if I had the option and if I had any money beyond my investment in the sort term yellow metal(real stuff, not stocks)... [I don't have the option in either of the two cases, short and long term] but if I did, I would choose uranium over wind energy or solar energy hands down(Because I have half a light bulb still able to be lit).

So in this longer view, because I know that wind-energy generation, electric cars and navy beans are not an option, and hoping though dispairing of humanity encountering a world-wide catastrophe in which as much as 1/4 or more of the population dies in a single year or two(armageddon, a plague, etc), then if the world is to reduce emissions which is a laudable goal for us to maintain the beauty of the areas in which we live and work and the aura which surrounds us in the process, then my bet is nuclear energy will be the solution. There is no other alternative which can produce enough energy to supply the needs of mankind and reduce as well, carbon emissions.

From the Casey Dispatch we hear:

Why do we like Uranium? Let me count the ways:

1. The US and Soviet public has had a great fear of nuclear reactors since Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. As the world seeks to cut back on carbon emissions, and with publics which will not wish to face brown-outs(remember those), or plain peasant living in the 21st century, they will opt for the lesser evil of Nuclear Power in lieu of the fantasy of Wind and Solar energy development. The report quotes
the words from the co-founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore:

“Nuclear energy is a key technology for the future and [there] should be a resurgence of this technology happening now.”

2. In 2013 the HEU Agreement between the U.S. and Russia ends. This was dubbed, as the report observes, the Megatons-to-Megawatts, in which nuclear fuel for Soviet warheads was converted for peaceful use in US reactors. (the supply is dwindling but has provided a considerable source since the agreement began. When the agreement ends so does the supply. What next?

3. The China Syndrome - the Most expansive society in terms of energy will be the nation state of the 21st Century and it is not the US or any western european nation--It is China! The Casey Dispatch observes that China generates 3$ of it's power from Nuclear energy. TO accomplish meeting it's energy needs they will have to build a lot of dams and will have to resort to nuclear energy to meet the forcast demand of the countries burgeoning production industry -- this would mean that, presuming they do not self-destruct of their own population weight(and a plague), they will have to produce about 25% more in energy, or more than 8 times the number of reactors that it current has producing energy.

Sounds like a shortfall? The US and other western states have the same problem. And as I noted, Navy Beans and Ham are not a viable solution.

The China factor – China currently generates about 3% of its energy from nuclear. If it reaches the regional average of 25%, it will need 8 times more reactors than it has now, putting further pressure on global uranium stocks.

all the best. If I inherited anything of my father, it was simply this: He never voted for a communist or socialist and he never in his life voted for a democrat.

best,
