A poem for Billy Long

Take men and put us alone

12,000 miles from away from home

Empty out hearts of all its blood

Make us live in sweat, in mud

For this is the life we choose to live

This is our souls to the Nation we give

So have your frat parties and drink your beer

While other young men die over here

Ignore the war, have your fun

And still refuse to carry a gun.

Unless on horse and pistol on hand

Your level of courage is forever bland.

And yet there is something else you want to do

But protecting the Nation is not for you

And for that, there is something you should know

It’s a place where we think you should go

I’m already here so it’s too late

I’ve traded all my love for hate

I will hate this place until I die

I will forever hear my mother cry

I saw his head and the blood he shed

Just as Doc said “Sir, another Marine is dead”

It was the highest price a man could pay

So you can live the American Way

We will get our tattoos of skills and tears

So you can scrutinize us for many years

Many of us have gone on with our lives

Some of us can barely survive

But don’t forget we will always know

BILLY LONG,

 YOU NEVER HAD THE BALLS TO GO.

This is dedicated to my brothers and sisters in arms....This guy has got to go.

New York Times Gets Student Loan Burden All Wrong: Blame the Federal Government for Student Loan Mess

The New York Times writes:

For too many students, a college education that is supposed to create opportunities can also mean years of struggle to pay off tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Schools must be required to do more to educate students about the real cost of their education and about a complex borrowing process that even the most sophisticated people have trouble understanding.


An article in The Times last week described the experience of 23-year-old Kelsey Griffith. She currently earns a meager wage as a restaurant worker and owes $120,000 in student loans for an undergraduate degree from Ohio Northern University, a college whose recent graduates are among the most indebted in the country.


Nationally, about two-thirds of bachelor’s degree recipients now borrow from either public or private lenders, up significantly from the early ’90s, when about 45 percent of graduates borrowed from all sources, including family. According to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the average debt for student borrowers last year was about $23,300, while 10 percent owed more than $54,000 and 3 percent owed more than $100,000. 


 Ms. Griffith’s debt was worsened by the fact that she changed majors and took five years to graduate. And because federal loans did not cover her total costs, she had to take out more expensive private loans that offer fewer protections than federal loans — like deferments and income-based repayment plans. Ms. Griffith voiced an increasingly common sentiment when she told The Times: “I knew a private school would cost a lot of money. But, when I graduate, I’m going to owe like $900 a month. No one told me that.”


The New York Times writes colleges should do more than just the entry and exit student loan counseling required to take out student loans. It's the colleges fault these kids like Griffith are going to owe $900 a month.

Many schools market themselves to students without explaining the real costs of attendance. Letters informing them about financial aid awards often blur the distinction between loans and grants to make the school look like a better deal than it is. And once students enroll, they are generally left on their own as they borrow year after year. 


 The Obama administration has taken some important steps to address these problems. A proposal would require colleges to clearly disclose costs in a standardized “shopping sheet” that would let students see the aid they are receiving and the debt that they would incur. Later this year, it plans to post an Internet “scorecard” that rates each college nationally on affordability and value — defined by graduation rates and whether graduates earn enough on average to repay their debts.

It is?

Why is the federal government not to blame here? The have created this mess by getting into the lending game once again just like they helped create the housing bubble mess. There is no Constitutional authority for the federal government to preside over education. This is a states rights issue, but once again the American people have been duped into believing the only entity of government that can provide federal solutions are the central planners ruling Mordor on the Potomac.

The federal government created the environment where colleges have become assistants in predatory lending, and that bill now totals over a trillion dollars for students across the United States. Had the federal
government stayed out of education all together and not got created a federal financial aid program to begin with, colleges would have to compete for the money in the educational market rather than knowing their are "boatloads of federal money" out there for all. Competition would of course raise quality, weed out the weaker schools that aren't producing results, keep the cost of a college education in check through this competition, and allow graduates like Griffith to go to sleep at night with a lot less headaches.

Obama forcing schools to disclose more isn't going to solve the problem. As long a schools know there are hundreds of billions of dollars to seek every year in federal dollars, they will base their tuition rates according to the maximum dollars they can seek from the student loan program that produces professional debtors. Take away the federal government from this equation and watch tuition fall.

Of course some blame has to be put on Griffith. After all, this educated woman couldn't make up her mind in college, changing her major several times knowing these loans were adding up. As some point you have to enforce the idea too many people have bought into this unconstitutional partnership with their federal overlords.

Obama Still Complaining About the Mess He Inherited

The New York Times writes of George W. Bush's recent trip to Washington for the unveiling of Bush 43 White House Portraits:

Hardly a day goes by without Obama or his aides talking about the mess they inherited — meaning, from Bush.


It was just one week ago that Obama, revving up campaign donors, turned Bush into a punch line. Obama depicted Republican rival Mitt Romney as a peddler of bad economic ideas, helping the rich at the expense of the middle class, and then added to laughs: "That was tried, remember? The last guy did all this."


When does one take ownership, especially after claiming he had a fix spending nearly $1 trillion in stimulus money, of this mess too? Obama was handed a trillion dollars promising it would fix all the economies woes and nearly three years later he is still complaining. That's a lot of money to overlook in the blame game.

The truth is both parties have their fingerprints on this mess, for it was Obama's own party that set up this housing mess with this silly belief that every American has the right to home ownership by setting up conditions that made home loans way too easy--ruining it for everyone else as the bubble popped.

The War on Soft Drinks in New York City: No Sugar For You

It soon may be easier to buy beer in New York City than a Coca-Cola. The New York government has decided to play babysitter and keep you from drinking sugary soft drinks by creating a ban on certain sizes of drinks.

The New York Times reports of Bloomberg's tyranny:

New York City plans to enact a far-reaching ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in the most ambitious effort yet by the Bloomberg administration to combat rising obesity.


The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March. 


 The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes, or alcoholic beverages; it would not extend to beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores.

Prohibition in a place that calls itself the land of the free. What a joke we are becoming where government babysits our every move!

New York has had its Soup Nazi. Now Bloomberg is the Pepsi Nazi.

Congressman Billy Long Playing Chicken in 2012 for Congressional Forums

Billy Long dodging debates is becoming familiar news. Now that he has a record, a record of embracing the Washington establishment, it is even less likely Congressman Long is going to be willing to debate. As the Republican primary draws near, Billy Long is once again playing chicken.

The first Congressional forum for Republican congressional candidates running in Missouri 7 is scheduled for June 4, 2012. As of now, Billy Long has not committed to have his record challenged--a record that includes voting for $2.4 trillion more in government spending with the debt ceiling increase, more frivolous spending like the Pigford lawsuit and stickers for Dale Earnhardt Jr's #88 National Guard Chevrolet, and against more of your Constitutional rights with the Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act (which gives Obama power to indefinitely detain Americans without due process), and of course there was that vote that makes it illegal to protest the federal government on federal property.

Long has a lot of explaining to do to voters, but of course he won't. He counts on the voting populace of Southwest Missouri to overlook these crimes against the taxpayers and citizens of the United States because he is the "incumbent Republican" and like Roy before him, he believes he "don't gotta debate".

That's sad when you consider his record because the Barry County Congressional Forum scheduled in Shell Knob, Missouri on June 4, 2012, and Bruce Ringger will be the master of ceremonies.

The debate will include questions that would put Congressman Long in the crossfire if he had the courage to actually show up. Of course now he has that "Washington needs me" excuse. Here's a list of the topics that are to be discussed by the Congressional candidates:

Immigration and its impact on our society and economy.

Each of your thoughts on the greatest current danger to our nation and/or our way of life.

Each of your thoughts on how to get the deficit under control and retire some or all of the 16 Trillion dollar national debt.

What should be the limits of the Federal Government's reach and how should the States stop or curb the federal intrusion into the State's

domain.   (the 10th Amendment)

Agenda 21 and/or the US participation in other United Nations schemes

What is your position on US sovereignty and  Treaties emanating from the UN or other NGO's

The Federal Reserve

Education in America and the Federal dept of Education

The NDAA, (specifically section 1021), and the Patriot Act and their impact on Civil Liberties and the Bill of Rights

What should America's energy policy be

The 2nd Amendment

Christian County Politics Getting Nasty as Eddie Campbell Trounces on Property Rights and Free Speech

I am no fan of Ray Weter. Weter has proven himself to be a big government Republican. However, Eddie Campbell isn't earning my Tea Party respect either. Both of these men are engaged in a heated primary in Christian County, Missouri for the title of Eastern District County Commissioner.

While Weter is guilty of doing some not so friendly things for small businesses while in Jefferson City, Mr. Campbell appears to be launching a war against one Ozark man's private property rights and freedom of speech guaranteed by the Missouri Constitution. Campbell filed a complaint to have a Ray Weter campaign sign off the private property of the Ozark man. The Weter sign sits on the fence facing the road near his house. Campbell filed the complaint noting the size and location of the sign.

Click to enlarge

Mr. Campbell, if this is any indication about the leadership you will maintain as a Christian County commissioner, specifically in the area of private property rights and the freedom of speech, which gives us the right to voice opinions about about our elected officials and who they support, you can bet you just lost my vote. I think it shows a lack of character that you would personally file a complaint against a property owner in Ozark simply because they support the man running against you. I have my doubts if this was your sign you would have taken this drastic of a step in order to silence someone's support of a political candidate.

This facsimile was shared with me with the permission to print by the defendant in the case.

The United Nations Looking to Help You Lose Your Religion

I live in the Bible Belt. James River Assembly, one of the largest churches in the Midwest, is a mile from my house. As I type this members of James River Assembly and Ozark, Missouri, welcome the United Nations into their school district through their International Baccalaureate program. What is odd about this is the IB promotes pantheism (earth worship) as the one true religion.

Christianity is under attack. The United Nations appears to be driving the attack. The equation here is simple. Faith removes fear and fear is required to control the people. Remember that as you read how the UN looks to embrace religious leaders to come together in hopes of pushing the same pantheism they push in IB World Schools.

Patheism is pushed through the environmental agenda in IB programs. There questions about population control and attacks on private property rights through carefully scripted curriculum is the norm. It appears this same radical agenda is being used to transfer men of God to being men under the spell of the UN's plans for world government outlined in Agenda 21.

Jurriaan Maessen writes about how the UN is reaching out to the cloth and their plans to forever change religion in the world:

In its 2009 Guideluines for Engaging Faith-based Organizations (FBO’s) As Agents of Change , the UNFPA put out specific tricks to reach congregations unwilling to go along with the UN’s population control programs:

“UNFPA has found that leaders of faith ‐ and interfaith ‐ based organizations are open to discussing reproductive health, if issues are addressed with care and sensitivity.”

These “agents of change” should also be recruited to protect and promote the overall agenda “through countering misinformation campaigns and building social support within the governments for the ICPD (International Conference on Population and Development).”

The ultimate goal of these engagement efforts is clearly described:

“Create a conducive socio‐cultural environment (impacting on behaviour, attitudes and practices) to ultimately promote and mobilize key communities towards achieving the goals of the ICPD PoA (International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action) and the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals).”

In the 2003 World Bank publication Faith in Conservation: New Approaches to Religions and the Environment , the reason for this broad set-up is explained in more detail:

“We see, do, and are what we think, and what we think is shaped by our cultures, faiths, and beliefs. This is why one of the more extraordinary movements of the past few decades began to take shape. For if the information of the environmentalists needed a framework of values and beliefs to make it useful, then where better to turn for allies than to the original multinationals, the largest international groupings and networks of people? Why not turn to the major religions of the world?”

It was Prince Philip (yes, the same prince who proclaimed  he would like to see himself reincarnated as a killer virus in order to snuff out the lion share of humans if he could) who in 1995 launched  “The Alliance of Religions and Conservation”. We may not be surprised at the fact that we find yet another branch of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha clan at the forefront of promoting the infiltration of the world’s religions. To illustrate exactly how widespread this move toward a global unified religion is, the announcement goes on:

“The National Religious Partnership on the Environment is an alliance of the US Catholic Conference, Coalition on Environment and Jewish Life, National Council of Churches, and the Evangelical Environmental Network that serves more than 100 million Americans.”

This official launch was preceded by the emergence of “Interfaith Partnership for the Environment ”, which was founded in the mid 1980s in order to, as the UNEP website teaches, “… inform North American congregations about the serious environmental problems facing life on earth.”

We should here insert the observation that, yes, there is something detrimental facing all life on our planet and it isn’t carbon oxide. It is called the scientific dictatorship, which has already infiltrated almost all forms of human organization, including political, cultural, economic and religious organizations.

The “Earth Charter” is another example. An initiative by Steven Rockefeller (a fourth-generation member of the family) as well as man-hater Maurice Strong, the Charter outlines somewhat of an earth worship cult- for the brain-dead observer in order to attain world peace, but when you take a closer look you’ll find traces of eugenics all over the place. Here’s a man so keen on promoting the religion of death (which lies at the very core of this proposed world religion) that he couldn’t help himself on several occasions shooting his mouth off about the true objectives that are enshrined within its pillars:

The other tentacle of this global system of control calls itself the World Bank and also joins in on the effort. UNEP explains :

“In Mongolia, for example, the World Bank and other international organizations are sponsoring a project to translate and publish Buddhist sutras about sacred mountains into modern Mongolian. The plan is to use the texts to reconsecrate the mountains and thus remind the local people of their traditional responsibilities not to log or hunt in certain areas.”

Klaus Töpfer, Executive Director of UNEP, has went around on many occasions, spreading this religion of death.

On one such occasion  the Executive Director called for the creation of a new global religion:

“We have to develop the ecological, holistic wold view which connects us with the rest of Nature both materially and spiritually. Religious traditions emphasize this connection. Our task should be to retrieve these basic symbols and doctrines within each tradition and translate them into clear prescription for public policy and behavior.”

In an address to the World Council of Churches , Töpfer first quotes the Bible:

“Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have domination over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth…”.

Then Töpfer adds:

“Did God intend that we would multiply at the rate of nearly 80 million additional people a year, and be rapidly approaching a global population of ten billion in the next century….”

Spoken like a true eugenicist. The United Nations Population Fund  (UNFPA), as the enforcement arm of the overall infrastructure, joined with their brother- and sister-agencies in the UN to encircle the world’s religions reminiscent of a pack of hungry wolves:

“Since 2002, UNFPA has emphasized the integration of culturally sensitive approaches into programming efforts. Toward this end, it has worked closely within communities and with local agents of change, including religious leaders.”

There’s something to remember when you see preachers on television or radio, emphasizing the need for smaller families and birth control. Big chance you’re dealing with yet another “agent of change” employed by the UN to gently lead you into the its desired death cult.

Obama Loves Killing People: How's That Hope and Change?

Remember what hope and change meant four and five years ago? For many, it was the end of these endless wars started by George W. Bush, especially one war started with the lie of weapons of mass destruction.



However, that hasn't happened. In fact, Obama has created more war, and now Barack is defending what has become known as the "kill list".

Obama appears to love killing people using remote control drones. The number of US drone attacks is up over the last four years compared to when Bush was president. Many of these attacks are responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians including children.

Fox News reports:

The White House responded Tuesday to criticism of the Obama administration’s use of drone attacks and a so-called “kill list,” saying President Obama will do what is necessary to protect Americans from harm.

“President Obama made clear from the start to his advisers and to the world that we were going to take whatever steps are necessary to protect the American people from harm, and particularly from a terrorist attack,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.

Details about the attacks in such places as Yemen and Pakistan and the Al Qaeda members on the list were made public in a lengthy New York Times story that included interviews with more than 30 White House advisers and former advisers.

The story has resulted a range of concerns and questions – including about the legality of such attacks in countries where the United States is technically not at war and the moral implications of Obama deciding whether to OK a drone strike that could potentially kill civilians, as well as whether the Times interviews resulted in potential security leaks.

On the issue of a potential security breach, Carney referred to a recent speech by White House chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, in which he provided an open view of the drone mission and the administration’s large counter-terrorism policy.

The interviews create a vivid account of weekly counter-terrorism meetings in the White House Situation Room in which officials review a list of targets for the remote-control drone planes, then the president personally signs off on who will get killed or captured.  

There were turning points early in Obama's term for what is considered an unprecedented and aggressive approach by a president toward dismantling Al Qaeda. Reportedly weighing on the administration's deliberations were a strike in Yemen that killed civilians and an attempted Christmas 2009 attack on a U.S.-bound jet.

Deliberations also reportedly turned to the legal justification for carrying out the plans, including the fatal 2011 attack on American-born cleric and Al Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki.

Republicans and other critics say Obama has chosen to kill suspected terrorists rather than capture them, an approach they say was necessitated by his failure to keep a campaign promise to craft a plan to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba.

“Nearly three and a half years after announcing his intention to close Guantanamo prison, President Obama still hasn’t offered a plan to deal with the dangerous terrorists it holds,”  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said late Tuesday.  

Bilderberg 2012 to Promote Agenda 21: IB Alert

In my small town of Ozark, Missouri, our local school board is turning some of their control to shape education over to the United Nations. The United Nations UNESCO supports the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB is the UN's tool to educate children not of US values, but to indoctrinate them to accept the concepts of Agenda 21, a radical environmental plan developed by the US that lessens US and state sovereignty while transferring it to the United Nations. Private property rights, natural resource rights, and waterway rights will all come under UN influence under the buzzwords "sustainable development".

It appears the Bilderberg Conference, which is a meeting of the world's power brokers that will meet in the coming week in Virginia, will focus on the UN's Agenda 21.

CBC News reports:

Alberta Premier Alison Redford is travelling to Virginia this week to take part in the Bilderberg conference.

The invitation-only, closed-door meetings brings politicians together with leaders from areas including economics, finance, academia and industry.

According to a government news release, Redford will meet with a number of individuals to discuss topics like monetary policy, ecological challenges and responsible development of natural resources.

Paul Joseph Watson gives us  more insight about why Redford will be attending the ultra secret Bilderberg Conference:

Redford is an aggressive advocate of the man-made explanation behind climate change. During an election debate earlier this year, she attacked Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith as a national embarrassment simply because Smith dared to suggest that the science on global warming was not settled.

Redford’s advocacy for more controls on carbon emissions is directly in line with the Obama administration’s war against America’s coal industry and the wider Bilderberg agenda for a “post-industrial revolution,” where energy use will be severely restricted in the name of saving the earth, leading to plummeting living standards.

The United Nations’ Agenda 21 project demands that member nations adopt “sustainable development” policies that are little more than a disguise for the reintroduction of neo-feudalism and only serve to reduce living standards and quality of life.

The true motivation behind this agenda was recently unveiled at the ‘Planet Under Pressure’ conference in London, during which climate change alarmists presented their blueprint for humans to be packed into denser cities so that the rest of the planet can be surrendered to mother nature. This process is already well underway in California where laws passed to mitigate car use and carbon dioxide emissions have led to policies that mandate up to 30 homes be built on a single acre of land.

It’s a similar idea to the nightmare ‘Planned-Opolis’ proposal put out by the Forum for the Future organization last year, in which human activity will be tightly regulated by a dictatorial technocracy in the name of saving the planet, with cars for personal use banned and only accessible to members of the elite.

The mindset of this gaggle of arrogant, scoffing elitists in their drive to micro-manage the human race, which they regard as a plague on the earth, was best encapsulated by the following quote from ‘Planet Under Pressure’ attendee and Yale University professor Karen Seto.

“We certainly don’t want them (humans) strolling about the entire countryside. We want them to save land for nature by living closely [together],” Seto told MSNBC.

Do Tasers Violate the Eight Amendment's Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause?

In Ozark, Missouri, a 16 year old kid with a broken back was tasered up to 19 times by Ozark Police officers. The incident gained national exposure as the ethics of the Ozark Police Department was questioned. Did officers need to go that far to protect a 16 year old kid who it appeared had fallen off the overpass?

The stories coming from the OPD were questionable and contradictory. In the end, the Ozark PD purchased taser cameras so they can justify their use of tasers.

Stories like this are being heard all across the US. Even senior citizens disputing while they were pulled over in routine traffic stops have been tasered. What's worse is some of these people have gone into cardiac arrest as the voltage delivered by the taser stops their heart.

The US Supreme Court began hearing arguments about the controversial tasers and whether or not they violate your Constitutional rights of cruel and unusual punishment. It appears SCOTUS isn't ready to make that judgement yet.

Joana Small reports:

No decision; that's the decision from the US Supreme Court on whether it's appropriate for police officers to use stun guns.

 They're legal for civilian use in 41 states including Missouri and Arkansas.  A stun gun will cause muscle spasms and usually force the victim to the ground.  But there's some debate over whether it will do more damage, and that's why the Supreme Court's inaction is so controversial.


 "It doesn't matter who you were, he could make you laugh."  Greg Hawkins misses that, but two and half years after his brother's death what probably haunts him most is that he wasn't there to protect Michael.

  "I'm the oldest brother, I took care of him, ever since he was little.  Changed his diapers," Greg Hawkins remembers.

  39-year-old Michael Hawkins had crawled into the ceiling of a north Springfield hotel around Christmas 2009.  Police used a taser on him when he refused to come out.

  "He had a cardiac arrest and passed on his way to the hospital," Greg Hawkins tells us.

  Drugs and a heart condition were ruled as the cause of death, but Greg Hawkins is convinced inappropriate action by police played a part.

  "He was in a corner, he couldn't go any place, he was outnumbered," yet he was tased.  The US supreme court says its not its its place to decide whether that was appropriate.  Bt police agencies like the Christian County Sheriff's office swear by stun guns.




Not it's place? What am I missing here? Doesn't our US Constitution read: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Why is SCOTUS hoping it can avoid ruling on the subject of whether or not the use of tasers is justified and do they violate the Eighth?

Do the Taliban and Al-Qaeda treat children the same as we do?

This may be a dated photo, but I must opine. For those sympathizers of the 'freedom fighters', when was the last time our enemy gave aid and comfort to woman and children in this manor? This U.S. Army Major has lost his Military Professionalism, for all the correct reasons and then some, to comfort a dying child. (The child died soon after this photo or was already dead)  Ignore my words, I don't care. but use your brain well. From my fellow American's opinion, we hate photo's like this, We hate war. The politicians on both sides love it because they do not fight it and they profit by it, either by money or power.

Look at his little feet. His little toes, his body, his hair. his limpness.

We do not like to deal with this.

Do You?

P.S. Because we were attacked, we are obligated to destroy those who did so.

Help us find them.

Mayra Gonzalez Gives Birth to Her 16 Year Old Daughter's Boyfriend's Baby

The entire cougar phenomenon is producing some really sick stories. You may remember the movie the Graduate, which is about a cougar before her time taking the innocence of Dustin Hoffman. Of course complications arise with her daughter. Those complications aren't nearly what they are after Mayra Gonzalez seduced her 16-year-old daughter's boyfriend.

KTLA reports:

Police arrested a mother on Thursday for allegedly having a sexual relationship with the 16-year-old boyfriend of her daughter, which resulted in a son.

Mayra Gonzalez, 32, of Santa Ana, was charged with multiple counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and oral copulation with a minor.

Police say Gonzalez had a secret relationship with the boy over a span of five months last year. They allegedly had sexual intercourse at least six times.


Now as if an adult preying on a child for sexual gratification isn't bad enough, this woman seems willing to sacrifice the future relationship with her daughter for her own sexual pleasure. Now there is a child that has resulted in her indecency.

The Jerry Springerization of America is killing the moral fabric of our Republic. Sex is nothing more than a sport, and it's the liberalization of sex is destroying families.

Romney Clinches Tonight? Not Really..

The word in the mainstream media is Mitt Romney clinches tonight. However, that's not exactly true. Fox News' Reality Check explains why the Republican primary isn't over.

Thomas Jefferson Wouldn't Approve: Virginia Welcomes Drones in the Skies

What is going on in the Commonwealth of Virginia? They are sending mixed signals when it comes to the message of Jeffersonian liberty and freedom.

Just a couple weeks ago they passed a law outlawing indefinite detainment of Virginians after Republicans pushed for indefinite detainment powers for Obama in the National Defense Authorization Act. This was clearly a Jeffersonian move--a protest against the federal government's overreach of power. However, the patriotic feeling surrounding the state government of Virginia has quickly died.

WTOP reports:

Police drones flying over Virginia would be "great" and "the right thing to do" for the same reasons they are so effective in a battlefield environment, the state's chief executive said Tuesday.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, says he is open to any technology that makes law enforcement more productive. The use of drones, which was recently endorsed by the police chiefs of Fairfax County and D.C., would make better use of valuable police resources.

I had a feeling Bob McDonnell was a decepticon when he stood on stage with Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, both support indefinite detainment ignoring due process laws in the Constitution. My gut feeling proved me right again.

 Drones of course give the government the power to spy on Americans from overhead using high power lenses and computers that can give great detail about your existence while infringing upon your right to privacy violating the Fourth Amendment. One would think McDonnell who signed the bill in Virginia against indefinite detainment would also consider the great power given to the federal government and other forms of government with the use of this technology and consider what Thomas Jefferson would do as a Virginian. One would think, but McDonnell clearly sends mixed signals.

Not Everyone Serving in the United States Military is a "Hero"

Chris Hayes from MSNBC is in trouble for opening up his mouth. This past weekend he questioned the idea of calling anyone who serves in the military a hero. He sums it up that it seems like justification for war. He says it's noble to serve, but that doesn't make you a hero.

>br />
I happen to agree. Joining the military and serving by no means makes anyone an automatic hero. There are plenty of bad bugs in the military that don't deserve this automatic respect that often goes with the uniform. I know. I have served in two branches of the military and both branches had their share of problematic soldiers the word hero should not be associated with. Remember, not all men and women in the military are serving because they make a sacrifice. Some serve because they are forced to in order to stay out of jail.

When I was in my AIT training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, I learned very quickly about bad bugs in the military. Private Hector and Private Jongou are two fellow members that are the perfect examples. While I was on fireguard one night, these two troublemakers had sneaked out of the barracks after curfew prior to myself assuming my post. They were caught up in the female barracks, where they jumped out of a second story window and were chased around the barracks at Fort Sam until they were caught. The NCOIC put me to the test by not taking their names and then calling up five minutes after they were brought back for the night.

Under my general orders I was required to give up their names, which I did. For the next three weeks until my orders came in for my next post, I was threatened by these two gang bangers from Los Angeles as they flashed their gang symbols. Fortunately, I had good friends who weren't amused. It was a tense three weeks though. Character, especially that of a hero simply for enlisting isn't a given just because you enter military service.

After I got out of the army, I decided to go into the electronics program at Great Lakes Naval Training Center north of Chicago. Having prior experience, I knew there were perks for those who had already gone through basic training and your AIT school. I planned for my parents to drive my car to the base so I would have it upon completing basic training.

This of course made me everyone's best friend, but I don't like that feeling. I said no quite often to a lot of people who needed rides. Now if you have watched "Full Metal Jacket" you should understand there is a lot of theft that goes on in the military. Remember who Gunnery Sgt. Hartman jumped on Leonard Lawrence for not securing his footlocker?

I never would have guessed what of mine was going to be stolen and how the Navy would react. One of my other friends I hung out with, a 30 year old Georgia peach bored of the fashion retail industry too had brought her car to base. I was riding with her when I saw my car leave the parking area with two sailors in it, who I could identify.

She turned her car around and we found ourselves chasing my car through Waukegan, IL. Knowing if we continued to chase my car would be totaled from the frantic driving if we continued or worse get hurt. We let my car get away and rushed to a pay phone. These were the days long before everyone had a cell phone.

A day later, my car was found and impounded. I had to pay all the impound fees and tickets despite my care being reported stolen. In the car were two Dixie caps (those goofy white sailor caps) both stenciled with the sailors' names. Upon reporting and giving evidence to the Great Lakes Police Department that serves the Naval Base, nothing was going to be done to the sailors. Instant hero for simply enlisting wasn't justified.

The truth is there are a lot of bad bugs that enlist. To throw around the word hero just because they join the military is insane. You have to remember some of these enlistees have real issues and are being forced to join to stay out of trouble. While I admire most who do serve, in the back of my mind I understand not everyone who serves has an honorable ethos to be called hero.

International Baccalaureate Better Education Includes Picking Up Trash

The International Baccalaureate promises better education. Of course that depends on what you consider better education. If it is in math and science the IB is not for you. The IB does promote the subjects, but there is a political bias that promotes unproven radical environmentalism designed around the United Nations Agenda 21 program.

Agenda 21 is the UN's power grab for power over sovereign countries like the United States. The United Nations Environmental Program calls for reduction of population and more control over private property.

“The population issue should be urgently addressed by education and empowerment of women, including in the work-force and in rights, ownership and inheritance; health care of children and the elderly; and making modern contraception accessible to all.”, the UN writes in their documents leading up to the Earth Summit 2012.


 “Globally, we must find better means to agree and implement measures to achieve collective goals.”


One of the tools to do this is the International Baccalaureate, an arm of the United Nations UNESCO. The IB is a Trojan Horse invading American public schools with the UN's rhetoric, which is clearly an attack on our way of life.

You can see this taking shape in schools across the country. Disguised as do-good activities, you can read in the verbiage this idea of global responsibility based on UN doctrine. Better education means picking up trash...

From St. Augustine.com:

For 120 members of the freshman and sophomore classes of the Allen D. Nease High School International Baccalaureate (IB) Program it first meant cleaning all 39 miles of St. Johns County shoreline for their fifth annual beach clean-up service project last month. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., students hit the beach equipped with garbage bags, gloves, Ocean Conservancy data sheets and lots of enthusiasm. Their efforts resulted in cleaner beaches in our community and provided an invaluable opportunity to record a complete snapshot of the condition of the entire St. Johns County coastline captured on a single day.

This Nease IB freshmen and sophomore students’ annual volunteer effort began five years ago as an environmental initiative aimed to reduce the deterioration of the condition of the local shoreline environment. Every spring, Nease IB students perform the clean-up of the community’s beaches at the end of the spring break period when the beaches see greater numbers of visitors and larger quantities of trash. The students collect garbage and debris along the entire stretch of shoreline in St. Johns County, analyze the data on the collected garbage, and present their findings to biologists at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Education Research Reserve (GTMNERR). The beach clean-up findings are ultimately used to document the scope of the problem of waste as a part of a larger study on how humans impact coastal and marine ecosystems and the environment. The local Students Working Against Tobacco organization asked the IB students to “Bag the Butts” in an effort to bring the second most prevalent litter found on beaches, cigarette butts, to citizens’ attention.

Nease High School’s IB program is one of 2,871 programs worldwide in 138 countries with more than 794,000 IB students. The program is widely known for creating intercultural and challenging programs to create a better world through education.

“The beaches of St. Johns County are a precious resource,” said IB coordinator Kim Hollis. “I’m proud that our students have undertaken such an important environmental project. The water that touches our shore washes to other parts of the world. Cleaning our coastline is a global concern.”

Now compare this project with the UN's words, and you can clearly see how the UN is indoctrinating students through feel-good projects in the educational system. How trash pick up improves learning in the classroom under the guise of an IB activity baffles me. There isn't much brain power in picking up cigarette butts, but at the end of the day as Kim Hollis basically states, this is all about "globalism" and that's the goal of the IB.

Government List of Buzzwords Used to Justify Spying on Americans

Every communication signal you send out these days is mostly digital. It's a series of ones and zeros that were converted from your voice and thoughts. These digital signals are used by other devices so the people you wish to communicate with can pick up your signal. These digital signals are also being confiscated without any notice by the federal government is what is clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

If you want to get the government's eye upon you, there are certain buzzwords that will gain their attention. Many of the words are common. Let's say you mention China in a post. Chance are the federal government is now monitoring you. I would say the feds are paying attention to much of what I say considering the list.

Here's the list:

Mitt Romney Has a Huge Mountain to Climb

Here's where I believe things stand as for now. Obama's unpopular, the GOP has alienated their base once again by picking a liberal Republican who doesn't stand for their values. As of now, I predict Obama wins reelection because the GOP doesn't learn the lesson liberal Republicans don't win national elections, and the electoral map leaves less error for Obama.

Massachusetts GOP Works to Alienate Voters by Overturning Outcome of an Election

Remember that 2000 election where we thought the GOP were the good guys and the Democrats were the bad guys? These days, I am not so sure the GOP was ever the good guys. In Massachusetts, where the GOP establishment was embarrassed as their favorite son Mitt for Brains lost the delegate race against Ron Paul, they are trying to overturn the election results.

The Boston Globe reports of the latest shenanigans of the GOP establishment:

A month after Mitt Romney’s loyalists were trounced by supporters of Ron Paul in the former governor’s home state caucuses, the Massachusetts Republican Party is trying to invalidate some ballots.

The move, some say, could oust Paul backers and send more Romney representatives to the GOP nominating convention in Tampa in August. It has infuriated rank-and-file Republicans who accuse establishment insiders of bending the rules to their own benefit.

“Just because you didn’t like the outcome of an election doesn’t mean you overturn it because you have the power to,’’ said a state committeeman, Stephen Zykofsky.

Much of the ire is directed at a challenge in the Fifth Congressional District - where Romney lives and where all six of his selected delegates and alternates lost. A member of Romney’s slate contends the results should be thrown out because the caucus chairman failed to get all the participants to sign in.

A 14-member GOP committee is expected to consider whether the results should be counted this week.

Inflaming the situation is Republicans’ decision not to count provisional ballots in any district. The provisional ballots are those cast by voters whose registration could not be confirmed on April 28, the day of the caucuses. Paul supporters say it is a maneuver by the party to diminish their influence.

The Republican establishment aren't the smartest cookies in the jar. I mean come fall they are going to ask all of us to unify behind liberal Republican Mitt Romney, and so many voters have been alienated on the way to the Republican convention that many of them will laugh in the face of those asking us to unify behind Mitt Romney. 

Those Who Give Up Liberty...

From the cover of Wired Magazine:

Deep in the Utah desert, the National Security Agency is building the country's biggest spy center. It's the final piece of a secret surveillance network that will intercept and store YOUR PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, GOOGLE SEARCHES... (Watch what you say.)


Isn't it sad. We have gone from our founding fathers warnings like Benjamin Franklin who said, "those who give up liberty for security deserve neither" to the federal government Franklin helped create monitoring every digital transmission you make. The Fourth Amendment is truly dead in America and it has died with those keywords "safety and security" in mind with Americans ignorant of history smiling all the way.

The Fourth Amendment from the United States Constitution:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

UN Hopes to Expand Its Control of the Internet

The United Nations expansion of control in the United States is spreading. We have the International Baccalaureate in place like a Trojan Horse in our schools. We have Obama handing over more power to regulate firearms to the UN. Politicians like John Kerry comply with Agenda 21 by pushing for UN rights to control our waterways with the Law of the Sea Treaty. Now it appears the UN wants control of the Internet so they can push their agenda further into American culture.

The Blaze reports:

The Hill is reporting that the United States House of Representatives is due to consider an international proposal that would give the United Nations more control over the Internet sometime next week.

Backed by China, Russia, Brazil, India and other members of the international body, the proposalis drawing fire on both sides of the aisle in Congress, as members of the Obama administration even move to criticize it.

“We’re quite concerned,” said Larry Strickling, the head of the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

He described the measure as “top-down regulation where it’s really the governments that are at the table, but the rest of the stakeholders aren’t.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also pointed out that China and Russia “aren’t exactly bastions of Internet freedom,” and just because they support a measure, that’s not exactly a reason to follow suit.

Pledging to guard the issue, Rubio elaborated: “Any place that bans certain terms from search should not be a leader in international Internet regulatory frameworks.”

Why should we trust these politicians who rule Mordor on the Potomac? After all, look at all the power they have already handed over to the UN. Furthermore, they themselves have tried to restrict Internet freedoms by introducing a number of Internet control bills from the Internet kill switch, Cyber Security Act, and SOPA, and going as far as passing CISPA in recent weeks. Washington hasn't cared when the UN has pushed it's weight while threatening American values. Look at the examples in the first paragraph and ask yourself why do you trust Washington with this regardless of what Obama, Rubio, or the rest of them say.

Rush Limbaugh's Missouri Hall of Fame Statue Becomes Symbol of Big Government

Rush Limbaugh was recently honored by Republicans in Jefferson City. The Republican controlled state legislature in a closed door ceremony honored the conservative talk radio host only announcing a couple hours earlier of the event in hopes to keep protests down to a minimum. I thought this to be ironic as both Rush and the Republicans scolded Democrats for locking the doors on the other party in the past. Thus is politics.

After all of this, there is another irony that continues to develop in Jefferson City. The Rush Limbaugh bust is becoming symbolic of big government. Fearful the statue will be vandalized, the state legislature is spending your tax dollars to ensure the bronze bust of this harmless little fuzzball named Rush will be protected.

The Blaze Reports:

The bronze bust of Rush Limbaugh recently placed in the Missouri state House now has its very own $1,100 security camera.

House Clerk Adam Crumbliss told the Associated Press he authorized the camera over concerns the sculpture of the radio host’s head and shoulders might be vandalized.

“We recognize that there was a level of controversy around it, and we want to make sure that property is protected,” Crumbliss said. “We’ve had lots of calls, and some calls and complaints have been a little beyond the pale.”

So Obviously, there will be assigned security guards who must watch this new camera, which too will add to the taxpayer's bill. The question remains will all this be in vain? This bust could just as easily be voted out of the state house once Democrats return to control.

This statue was done all wrong. While I do believe Limbaugh has earned the honor, the costs are already starting to add up for Missouri tax payers. Considering the one element that usually coincides with big government is security, something Benjamin Franklin clearly stated, how much of Missouri's tax dollars will be spent to protect this bronze bust of Rush?

Details of Bilderberg 2012: Meeting in America

The Bilderberg 2012 meeting will take place at the Westfield Marriott Hotel in Virginia from May 30 to June 3. The last time the Bilderberg Conference took place in the United States was in 2008. You may remember the mainstream media got on an airplane and was diverted figuring out Barack Obama had duped them while he disappeared and was spotted later as an attendee of the ultra secret Bilderberg meetings, which many believe is a group of world power brokers who hand pick the world's leaders and shape the policies of the major countries in the world.



Eyes will be upon which party receives Bilderberg's invite this year. We already know Marco Rubio has flirted with the Bilderbergs which could mean it may be Mitt for Brains Romney that needs to divert the press this year.

Of course, it is nothing new for US politicians to attend these events, often against federal law. Here's Dick Cheney's admission.

Miami's Real Life Hannibal The Cannibal: Man Eats Face of Victim

How bad is the Obama economy? Well it appears one desperate man resorted to cannibalism and lost his life.



Miami police shot a naked man trying to eat the face off another naked man. Perhaps his food stamps expired.

CBS Miami Reports:

 Miami police are still tight-lipped about the man they shot and killed on the MacArthur Causeway Saturday afternoon, but new details back claims they had no choice: the naked man they shot was trying to chew the face off another naked man, and refused to obey police orders to stop his grisly meal, which one source now claims included his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

Surveillance video taken from security cameras at the nearby Miami Herald building show a police officer arrive on the scene, appear to be startled by the spectacle of two naked men lying on the street, and draw his service weapon. It appears that the officer shot one of the men, but it was difficult to tell in the video.

The bizarre shooting happened shortly after 2 p.m., when police responded to a 911 call about two naked men fighting on a bike path along the Causeway, which was packed with traffic on a busy holiday weekend.

Like the the Hannibal series of movies, the victim's face was mangled and unrecognizable. He is in the hospital after the attack. Hope in Obama's America!

Conservative Republicans Sacrificing Values to Give Vote to Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney's record is far from conservative. He is the abortion supporting, social healthcare creating, gun controlling, tax and spend, green energy initiative former governor of Massachusetts that went as far as forcing Catholic Hospitals of Massachusetts to administer abortion pills.

There are those in the Republican party who believe their own leadership will force Romney to the right. Missouri Republican Assembly president Scott Magill is one of those naive Republicans. Dr. Magill recently told the Washington Post, “Do I think he’s truly a conservative — by that I mean someone who conserves the Constitution? No,” said Magill, who mingled with some GOP stalwarts among acres of high-powered rifles, hunting knives and camouflage gear. “Is he a little Etch-a-Sketchy? Yeah. But we’ve got to tie that Etch a Sketch down. If we can do that, then there’s hope for us.”

Well judging by events at the GOP Georgia state caucus, Republicans aren't tying Etch a Sketch Romney down. Rather they are sacrificing their own beliefs, rights, and liberties away in support of Mitt for Brains. Take a look at what happened when the state GOP attempted to speak out against indefinite detainment and speak up for their Constitutional rights.




 I have a feeling under the leadership of Magill things wouldn't look much different in Missouri either. Who cares about those Constitutional right thingies, we have to get Obama out of there even if we replace Obama with someone whose record look an awful lot like Obama's.

$500 Scholarship - Entries Needed!

2012 marks the second year that Truth About IB is pleased to offer a $500 scholarship to a student from an International Baccalaureate High School who provides the best answer to this year's question. Our 2011 winner, Felix Dyrek, was from Poland, attended an IB school in Germany and wrote an incredible essay about his harrowing experience with IB in perfect English! TAIB was thrilled to send $500 overseas to Maastricht University in The Netherlands, where Felix was finally able to begin his university experience after a year's delay.

This year's question is both simple and complex. TAIB chose this question to be answered because we believe that global citizenship is what IB is selling and therefore, IB and non-IB students should be able to define what global citizenship means:

"What's the difference between an American citizen and a global citizen?"

Here at TAIB, we know and treasure what it means to be an American citizen. So do TAIB's readers who so generously donated to fund this scholarship a second time around.

If you know of a graduating senior from a high school which is authorized by International Baccalaureate who could use $500 towards their college tuition or military account, please encourage them to spend an hour or two and enter our scholarship essay contest. The deadline is June 30th. As of this posting, we do not have any entries so your chances are really good to win.

Please find all of the details to enter HERE.
