July 6, 2009 journal, our stolen heritage and the blindness of the church is all coming out. I want to paint a chart to show the migration of our ancestors from Assyrian bondage. I now see so clearly how the cart got in front of the horse through the ages and our history has been altered even as the Bible has been altered over time. We do not recognize our real enemy in these days of darkness. Christ said to let the tares grow until harvest when they will be cast into the fire. We are not a gentile nation and the 10 tribes of Israel are not lost. The one thing that is physically traceable in history is the migration of thee '10' lost tribes of Israel out of Assyrian bondage into Southern Russia and westward as they became the natives occupying the British Isles, Europe and westward to North America. We do not recognize our true selves in these days of spiritual darkness as having roots in the true real House of Israel. We have fallen for an artificial Israel indicating our spiritual blindness wherein we have been deceived even by the so-called Church in modern days. The Zionist Jewish international power population has dominated the free world opinion. The following scripture is most always misapplied to mean Edomite Israel when actually it was intended to apply to the real Israelite people and not the Khazar Russian Edomites. The most abused Scriptures-"I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. I will bless them that bless thee...and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed". Genesis 12, 2 and 3. This scripture is always used to justify the false Israel. The term thee is improperly assumable interpreted. I pray for understanding that the true Church will emerge with the true name of Messiah. July 7, 2009 journal, the customary meeting of the new president with the Pope Almighty. From Russia the presidential family will fly to Rome who rules the world for all times. cyber attacks "While Treasury Department and Federal Trade Commission Web sites were shut down by the software attack, which lasted for days over the holiday weekend, others such as the Pentagon and the White House were able to fend it off with little disruption." This might be another false flag operation where we do it to ourselves then blame a foreign country. The ailing newspaper industry now is charging to publish your obituary up to $900.00. I have made it clear to my family even though I never expect to die that if I did they are not to publish my obituary in any newspaper. They're charging for wedding announcements also probably up to about $500 and I think it is ridiculous because these are news items. This is probably most brides do not publish their weddings anymore in their newspapers. A beautiful 8 year-old girl was caught up in gunfire during a domestic dispute and killed. A head in my journals is important reading that may be useful in the chaos coming in this country as what we see perhaps on a small scale domestically develops in massive scale. A desperate California is now considering the legalization of marijuana to balance their budget which is estimated to bring in $1 billion per year while they need 50 billion more. They will control and tax the sale of it to make money for the state like they do tobacco. Hospitals are reported to kill 99,000 people per year with hospital caused infections. I estimate that five million people die every year in this country for one cause or another. It sure does look like hospitals are trying to kill people considering how many they kill. I consider the Lance Armstrong ordeal to be a hoax mastermind of the pharmaceutical chemical industry to advertise their products. I do not believe he ever had any cancer. I am painting a picture entitled all chemotherapy leads to death. One person was said to be able to live three months without chemotherapy and one year with chemotherapy but as it turns out the family did not choose to put this person through to suffer the chemotherapy, so it was just in total reverse. The patient has lived the year without the chemotherapy. Catch a load of this, a black NY State Rep. calls MJackson a pervert saying the media is making too much of his funeral. The whole world is worshiping him hysterically as a god. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31760415/ns/entertainment-music/?GT1=43001 When we give honor to a pedophiler we are bringing on the judgments of Almighty God. There sure is no recession in the honor Jackson deal but L.A. is trying to collect a million dollars to pay for Jackson's Memorial funeral at Staples Center, nevertheless, good luck. Nowadays you need a jackhammer to open a box of Kleenex since packaging is superb, it is the product that has fallen in quality. Life gets more complicated until you need a pass- code to pee. I pay 550 for a loaf of sprouted bread but it seem to be a 30% smaller size than when I bought it before at 550. Not only is quality falling but quality is falling also. https://www.webhostingbuzz.com/order/client_login.php July 8, 2009 journal, a welfare nation dependent on unemployment security payments to survive these depressive economic times when the funds are all depleted and the federal government is putting out tons of money just to pay unemployment security benefits to the deployed workers which is growing by half a million a month. They must keep these funds flowing or the entire country will explode into violence confusion and destruction. The transportation system is collapsing with half the freight to move and 50 percent less revenues being paid to the truckers to move it, they will park their rigs in the roadways and go home. It is near impossible for truckers under these conditions to make a profit. The government seems to the shipping from east to west and west to east just to helpout. They are pushing tap water again saying bottled is no good and a lot of it is not but a lot of it is pure like Icelandic & Spring Water. They want you to consume their poisonous chemicals they add to the city water supply. Depending on where you live, like if you live in Greenwood you are getting water directly from the Greenville sewerage disposal plant. Sorry but I just cannot believe in their filtering system to take out all the human manure. In Chicago a cemetery crew has been resurrecting the dead for years now and reselling their burial plots to other people. What a terrible thing to do to dead people and their families. People that cannot make an honest living should not make a living at all I say. "Today The Times examiner carried the following article by Bob Dill entitled America has suffered a great loss during the last month. America has suffered a great loss while the dominant liberal media is fixated on memorializing a pop culture icon of questionable character, thousands of mourners will stand in line to catch a glimpse of celebrities and snippet of sound from the memorial celebration. While this reflection of the current popular value system takes place on the world stage, 29 genuine American hero's will be quietly laid to rest with hardly a notice except by close friends, family members and other veterans who have risked their lives for their country in years and months passed. Eight service members ranging in grade from specialists to Captain have made that ultimate sacrifice in Iraq during the last month during the watch of President O. 21 members of the U.S. armed forces ranging in grade from Private First Class to Mayor sacrificed their lives for their country on the battlefields in Afghanistan last month under this commander in chief's watch. Where is the national recognition and media coverage of the lives and sacrifices of these heroes and their grieving families? This situation says a lot about the denigration of our society and the current leadership priorities in Washington D.C.". I say yes I agree and that goes for the last administration that originally started this war mess. July 10, 2009 journal, the credit card squeeze as reported by MSNBC on crooked banks. This is the last day the banks will accept California IOUs so the people are on their own. Posted Friday July 10, 2009 by Bob Sullivan about the renegade banks switching terms. The first family visits the Pope all dressed in black before departing for Ghana in Africa. "When James received a great credit card offer 2 years ago - a 4.99 percent interest on balance transfers for the life of the card - he jumped at it. He used the cheap money to remodel the kitchen of his Los Angeles-area home. He never expected the new kitchen would turn him into a pawn in a chess match playing out among Congress, bank regulators and credit card firms. The offer, from JP Morgan Chase had only one obvious stipulation: No late payments. Because the rate was far lower than a home equity loan at the time, James used the credit card for the construction project, borrowing around $20,000. His monthly payments were very affordable - just under $300. Paying the minimum 2 percent each month, he'd pay off the loan in about 8 years. James, who requested anonymity because he's uncomfortable discussing his personal finances in public -made sure to pay on time each month, jealously guarding the terms of his cut-rate loan. Little did he realize that Chase could find a way to make his life miserable without raising his interest rate. But Chase recently threw James-- and perhaps hundreds of thousands of other consumers - a huge credit card curveball. The firm sent letters to customers beginning in late June indicating that minimum payments would be raised from 2 percent to 5 percent. In August, his monthly payment will spike to $750. "What they're doing is pushing decent people into such tough situations," he said. "I'm between a rock and a hard place." Around the Web, Chase customers are screaming about the change. "I'm stuck with a combined monthly payment going from $525 to $1,445," wrote one consumer on a blog devoted to the change in Chase terms. "I explained that this could possibly force me into default for which Chase would not receive any payment. (The customer service agent's) response? 'Chase obviously factored that possibility into the decision for changing these terms.'" New world order-Consider this the opening salvo in the new world order for credit card firms. Before Congress passed credit card reform legislation in July, bank lobbyists repeatedly warned that the law would cost them revenue and force them to raise rates and fees on consumers. The aggressive step by JP Morgan Chase - effectively a 150 percent increase in required monthly payments -- marks one of the first major changes by a card issuer. Chase spokeswoman Stephanie Jacobson said the change impacts "less than 1 percent of their customers," but would not divulge a precise figure. Even 1 percent of Chase cardholders would represent nearly 1 million consumers, however. Chase customers like Daniel Lindenbaum of Coatesville, Penn., say they are being given a Hobson's choice. He said he transferred an $8,000 balance to a Chase card, enticed by a 5 percent interest rate -- and never missed a payment. Nonethe-less, his monthly bill will now jump from $163 to more than $350. "I don't mind paying a little more than the minimum payment every month, but going to over $300 a month when I was paying $163 a month is a big jump for me," he said. "It's not easy to come up with extra cash like that. I called customer service and they ... suggested for me to transfer my money elsewhere." The problem with that, he said, is that he'd have to open a new account with another company and face recently increased transfer fees. Bank of America, for example, just raised its transfer fee to 4 percent. And Chase has said it plans to raise transfer fees to 5 percent. Lindenbaum figured he'd have to pay at least $200 to switch to a new card. He was confused about why Chase would want to drive him away. "They are still making money off of me each month and if I pay off my balance faster, they will be losing money in interest," he said. "If I transfer my money to another credit card company, they will lose my money all together." Surprised by marketing success James said he thinks Chase made the change for a simple reason: It wants to squeeze consumers who have low-interest loans, force them into a misstep and then rope them into far less desirable loan terms."They don't want people to have 5 percent loans out forever and ever," he said. "I don't think they considered how successful their marketing efforts would be." Jacobson, the firm's spokeswoman, essentially conceded that strategy in an e-mail to msnbc.com. "Tens of millions of Chase customers have taken advantage of our promotional low rate financing over the last five years," she said. "Most of these loans have been paid back in less than 24 months. However, there have been a small percentage of customers that have not made as much progress in paying down these loans. Our desire is to have these balances paid back in a reasonable period of time." Bill Hardekopf, who runs LowCards.com, said banks are following through on warnings that credit card expenses for consumers would rise after passage of the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act. "From an issuer standpoint, they are looking at their default rates going up, they are in tremendous economic distress and they are trying to minimize their risk as much as possible," he said. "Issuers feel they need to find ways to make up for revenue they are projecting they are going to lose once the legislation takes effect." Chase told msnbc.com that it would work with consumers who are unable to make their new payments, but James said that's merely an invitation into a lion's den. The only offer he received was a severe change in terms to his account with a much higher, variable interest rate. When the new federal regulations take effect next year, they will severely limit banks' ability to change rates unless cardholders have variable-rate agreements, so banks are trying to steer consumers away from fixed-rate cards. Bank of America, for example, recently sent notices to cardholders with fixed rates telling them their accounts will be changed to variable rates starting next month. James said all these changes seem particularly unfair because through 2007, even as the recession started, Chase was still aggressively marketing the low interest cards. He said he will be able to make the payments with great difficulty, but he wonders about other consumers. "I've got to stop my retirement contributions, or maybe even ask for an advance at work," he said. "But I don't know what other people are going to do."-... My experience is they don't listen to you until you're at least 90 days behind in payments. I am about to make them an offer of 10¢ on the dollar to settle their crooked account. Websites and domain schedule for William Thomas Thompson July 9, 2009 journal. arthompson.com whbsupport.com Webhostingbuzz.com password 123456-July 1, 2010. July 11, 2009 journal, preparing for civil unrest by Claire Wolf, the precondition for civil unrest-when people are frustrated and politicians are nervous. Worse, that was how things stood before last fall's crash. Before pols on both left and right launched the biggest mass transfer of wealth in history-transferring our wealth (what we had left of it!) to their friends on Wall Street and in the banking industry. In other words, that's how things were before things got bad! Now everybody's talking about the ongoing catastrophe (even if we are in a momentarily sunny mood). But almost nobody is talking about the logical-maybe even inevitable-consequences of cynical or desperate politicians abusing an already fed-up populace: civil unrest." (I know this man that was accused of trying to hire a lifetime prisoner to kxxl a federal judge, he was the witness that put him away forever) "I mean people taking to the streets. Or mass resistance. Or crackdowns because the government fears we might do something to upset its apple cart. It's going to happen. Somewhere. At some time. It's going to. (Do you know someone that is a political prisoner in this country? I do, I know many that are. One wrote a book on "Gods of the Lodge", another was dragged out of his bed at 6:00 a.m. and falsely accused of a crime) One of the few VIPs to mention the matter openly was Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor and the ultimate insider's insider. He commented on the millions of unemployed or soon-to-be-unemployed and the "...public awareness of this extraordinary wealth that was transferred to a few individuals at levels without historical precedent in America." He told "Morning Joe" Scarborough, "Hell, there could be even riots." Although few in power are talking about it, rumors abound that governments at many levels are planning for civil unrest. One rumor is about a document supposedly being circulated right now among top federal officials. It's called the "C&R Document"-with C&R standing for "conflict & revolution." The much-storied paper is said to be a plan for controlling the American people when we get out of hand. True? Who knows. But the very rumor tells us a lot about these times. Other things are not mere rumor. When the federal government established a North American Army command in 2002, its purpose wasn't to repel foreign invaders. It was domestic operations-something long and rightly forbidden by the Posse Comitatus Act. In February of 2009, when military commanders in Canada and the U.S. signed a pact allowing their armies to operate inside each other's country they didn't even bother to get authorization from Congress-an illegal and unprecedented move. And once again, the purpose was handling "domestic civil emergencies." For several years, the Centers for Disease Control tried to get states to adopt something called the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA). This act would allow state governments to become police-state dictatorships in event of any ill-defined health emergency-vaccinating people by force, destroying or seizing property without compensation, and rationing medical supplies, food, and fuel. To their credit, most state governments rejected the act. A few adopted portions of it before a fervent opposition campaign caused the CDC to back off. However, the concept of a health dictatorship hasn't gone away. Not hardly. Within days of the news that a new strain of swine flu had arisen in Mexico in April 2009, states were again considering legislation to give themselves martial-law powers in event of an epidemic. And what of the dozens and dozens of federal agencies that now have SWAT teams? Seriously, what justifies the Bureau of Land Management or the Department of Housing and Urban Development having paramilitary units? Now maybe you like the idea of an Army that watches over its own citizens. Maybe it makes sense to have a government seize total dictatorial power in event of a health emergency. Maybe you believe SWAT teams will never be used except against bad guys. But do you really trust these people? After all, these are the same folks, and this is the same mentality, that not only spent $325,000 to produce a souvenir photo of a presidential 747 zooming low over the Statue of Liberty, but ordered the New York Police Department, the FBI, the Secret Service, and the New York mayor's office not to tell the public. Never mind that they realized full well that passenger jets and military planes plunging low over Manhattan would evoke panic. Still, peace reigns. Mostly. At least here in North America. But not everywhere. Not long ago, France was brought to its knees by night after night of rioting. In that country it's become almost common for workers to hold their bosses hostage in hopes of winning economic concessions. Greece, too, saw its normal life and business shut down by days of rioting. So did Iceland-a country that's normally the picture of civility. Can the U.S. be forever immune? It might not take much-and it could be something out of the blue, something impossible to anticipate-to set us against each other and against the "Trust us; we'll fix it" political crowd. In a way, this national silence on a matter so many people are afraid of is similar to the silence about general preparedness issues before 9-11 or Hurricane Katrina. Only Mormons and us wingnuts spoke of preparedness way back when. Since then, of course, advice on preparedness is mainstream and common. In another sense, this silence is different. Because when unrest finally erupts, it's not going to be us merely taking care of ourselves. It's going to be "us against them." It might be workers against bosses. Or the poor against bankers. Or blacks against Hispanics. Or little folk against Big Men in public office. Or farmers against the USDA. Or xenophobes against xenophiles. But however it happens, the implications aren't as Boy-Scoutish as just taking care of ourselves in an emergency. http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/wolfe118.html Lookup preparations for civil unrest" on Google and...What's that echo I hear?-you'll find nothing that's going to help you. In fact, you won't even easily turn up a good definition of what civil unrest is. Like "indecency," the definition seems to be in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't consider a peaceful anti-war march to be civil unrest, for instance, but a police chief might. Similarly, I wouldn't consider acts of localized non-violent lawbreaking (like environmental activists chaining themselves to a tree) to be civil unrest; but a timber company official probably believes otherwise. Civil unrest occurs when anger, frustration, or fear turn disruptive on a mass scale. Or when government officials crack down because they anticipate such disruptions. Crackdowns can lead to further frustration, leading to further crackdowns and so on-especially when the crackdowns look unwarranted and tyrannical. In other words, civil unrest can arise from the anger of people or the folly of government or both together. Anger over an unpopular policy, a new war, a collapse of the currency, panic over a pandemic, a food shortage, a bank run-anything like that could cause civil unrest, especially in a population that's already on edge and no longer trusts its authority figures. Another thing you won't find via Google is how various types or levels of unrest are likely to affect us and how we should respond, if we're affected. Again, although the men and women at the top are quite concerned for their own sakes, they (and their media mouthpieces) would rather not talk about what we should do in event of civil panic. But that's not good enough for we independent-minded people, is it? Here are my definitions of levels of civil unrest and a little bit about how they might affect us: LEVEL ONE: The lowest level of civil unrest is when people turn on their own neighborhoods-as happened during the race riots of the 1960s and the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Level One civil unrest can be deadly and destructive, but primarily to people who live, work, or must travel in the immediate area. Level One unrest is spontaneous, Dionysian, is confined to a narrow geographical zone where the protestors live. Police response may be harsh, but it's localized. Unless you're in the middle of it, you're unaffected. LEVEL TWO: Level Two civil unrest may also be focused on a single area. But in this case, rioters or protesters have deliberately targeted a business district, a facility, a transportation system, or an organization to impose maximum disruption. One example: the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle in 1999; young people with violence in mind and rage in their hearts attacked an entire downtown, affecting hundreds of businesses and tens of thousands of workers who hardly knew what hit them. Another example: This spring, protesters in Thailand shut down the Bangkok airport, affecting who knows how many individuals and businesses. Level Two unrest is usually planned or semi-planned. The target is chosen deliberately. Although still focused in one area, Level Two can disrupt normal life and business in a whole region or country. LEVEL THREE: Level Three comes when mass unrest or authoritarian crackdown causes disruption at state or regional level. Then, no matter what the original cause or location of the trouble, everyone in the region is affected. Effects might include travel restrictions, random ID checks, mass arrests, food and fuel rationing, controls on money and banking, roadblocks, and other harsh "emergency" restrictions. LEVEL FOUR: Level 4 is Level 3-but on a national or even international scale. It is martial law. If things ever get this bad, it is likely that the government itself will be a far bigger threat to everyone's well being than whatever the original cause of the clampdown was. And of course, any level of civil unrest can lead to laws, regulations, and harsher police policies that end up affecting everybody. We make a mistake if we think civil unrest is strictly an urban phenomena. It can happen anywhere. When 400 government agents and soldiers descended on one isolated family in the Idaho mountains, the roadblocks, helicopters, Humvees, media presence, and furious protestors surrounded the Randy Weaver family and brought the normal life of Boundary County, Idaho, to a halt. The siege against the Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas, wasn't conducted in the inner-city, either. Yet both of these were large scale catastrophes with all the hallmarks of civil unrest-individuals or groups resisting, government insisting. I can easily envision strictly rural-based unrest that urban dwellers will never even hear about (except perhaps in highly distorted reports). What happens, for instance, if farmers, 4H families, owners of saddle horses, and holders of small chicken flocks decide to resist en masse the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)? It's easy to imagine, in these crazy days, USDA SWAT teams descending on the countryside to make arrests, forcibly register or destroy non-compliant animals, and burn down non-registered facilities. The future could see rural resistance to invasive census-taking, forced vaccination programs, land takings, water-rights policies, or the destruction of herds for real or bogus health reasons. As country people increasingly see governments as foreign organizations driven by the interests of city dwellers, pharmaceutical companies, and mega-agri-business, it wouldn't surprise me. If we ever have serious food shortages, expect rural areas to be besieged. Even when civil unrest confines itself to the cities, airports, or highways it can affect us in crazy ways. Here's a funny example of unpredictable (in this case mild) consequences. A friend was due to have her first book published in Canada. She was very excited-then disappointed when weeks dragged by and the book didn't appear. Turns out that a band of Indians was blocking a highway bridge the printer's truck had to cross. The union truckers, in solidarity, refused to route around the protest. Just one small consequence. But you can see the unpredictability. The simple truth is that we don't know what kinds of unrest to anticipate. We don't know when, or if, we'll see civil unrest. But thinking about the problem and preparing ourselves mentally and physically to deal with it should be just another aspect of our personal preparedness. What we can do 1. Keep standard emergency preps up to date. First thing to do is make sure all our typical household preparedness supplies and plans are current. As BHM readers know, backup food, water, and other supplies are our mainstay for everything from bad storms to long-term unemployment, from power outages to social breakdowns. During civil unrest, especially at Level Three or Four, we might not be able to get out to buy things we need-or we might consider it more prudent to stay at home. On the other hand, if we ourselves are part of the unrest, we may need those supplies to sit out a siege. 2. Don't fall into foolish complacency. We who live in the country tend to have an "it can't happen here" attitude toward political violence or social upheaval. We see those things as urban pheonomena. And mostly, they are. But there's no ironclad rule that says they have to be. If anything disrupts the supply chain, for instance, rural areas could be the first to be cut off from food, medicines, fuel, or other necessities. If government breaks down to the point where it can't deliver food stamps, housing vouchers, social security, or bureaucrats' pay, the rural poor and unemployed could become just as restive as their urban counterparts. 3. Watch your health. As I write this, the airwaves are shrilling about swine flu. This outbreak may fizzle; after all, perfectly normal flu kills many every year without causing panic, martial law, or incessant media coverage. On the other hand, it's certain that one day some illness will rampage across the globe. Few things inspire public panic more quickly than contagious disease, and once again rural areas are not immune. Take all the standard recommended precautions like frequent handwashing. Make sure your preparedness kit includes surgical masks and disposable gloves as well as a selection of frequently updated medications. And be ready to lay low at home for a long time in the event a serious plague gets loose. 4. Make common cause with your neighbors. I've said it before, but establishing a strong bond with people in your community-right now-is vital to every sort of emergency preparedness. In event of a Level One or Two emergency, these are the folks who could come to your house to make sure you're okay. They might give you a ride out or a place to sleep if you accidentally end up in a "hot zone" of riot or protest. In a deeper or more long-term emergency, they could pool resources with you to make supply runs. They can advise you if they've spotted a roadblock. They might let you cross their land to avoid a route that has become dangerous. 5. If you grow crops or raise food animals and the unrest is due to a food shortage (or something has driven city people out into the countryside), prepare to protect your resources day and night. Here again neighbors can do each other valuable services, like taking shifts guarding fields, barns, private roads, and gardens. Yes, this is an apocalyptic scenario. Not a likely one. But if it happens, it's a Level Three or Level Four emergency-delivered to your own front yard. 6. Get advance word on local conditions when traveling. We're used to hopping into our vehicles or onto airplanes and going wherever we want to go. But as the worldwide economy deteriorates, it's wise to keep an eye on our destination. Right now, this warning pertains more to overseas travel than jaunts within the U.S. If you plan to go abroad, visit online sites like Travelfish.org. They'll have bulletins about adverse conditions in areas you plan to visit; you may even be able to receive alerts via email that will warn you about anything from political protests to disease outbreaks in places you plan to go. 7. Watch for signs of trouble when in an unfamiliar area. Sometimes the only advance notice you get is the notice your own senses give you. When walking, driving, biking, or otherwise traveling in unfamiliar places, stay in what gunfolk call "condition yellow." This is different than the meaningless colored threat levels the Department of Homeland Security puts out. It just means "be alert!" Never simply allow yourself to slouch along obliviously. Always be aware of who's nearby and what's going on around you. If you spot trouble developing, turn. Avoid it if at all possible. 8. If you stumble into a "hot zone" of unrest, be prepared to think on your feet. Not many people are qualified to give you advice about how to behave if you unavoidably find yourself in the midst of trouble-a riot, a mass protest that suddenly engulfs your familiar downtown, a spot where police are bashing heads or hurling tear gas seemingly at random. That's because not many people have ever been there and every catastrophe is different. If street-level chaos surrounds you, do your best to keep a cool head, move away from the worst of it if you get the chance, and get inside if possible. 9. If you're swept up in mass arrests during a riot or demonstration, the officers probably aren't going to be listening to your protestations of being an innocent bystander. You'll only tick them off and possibly get a charge of resisting arrest. The best advice I've received from my friends who've been busted during out-of-hand protests: Go along as best you can. Usually, all charges in such cases are either dropped or reduced once calm is restored. Only if we've reached the extreme point where police are rounding people up and throwing them into detention camps or "disappearing" them is fighting cops on the street likely to be worth it; then...fight like a demon. 10. Have a good lawyer and carry his or her card with you. Once again, in the heat of chaos it may not do you much good. But that card will come in handy later. Besides, if you and a police officer have an encounter in calmer circumstances, a lawyer's card, along with your calm assertion of your legal rights, will help you to be taken seriously. Police officers are like anybody else; they're more likely to go after easy targets than ones who are obviously knowledgeable and prepared. My lawyer has a helpful little list on the back of his card of the things you should do-nor not do when accosted by a police officer. I'd trust that more than my own nerves in a tight situation. 11. Be careful of roadblocks. This is a hard one. If we reach Level Three or Four of unrest, we may not only see the obnoxious police "checkpoints" we are burdened with today. We might also see two other things. One would be expanded police roadblocks, with warrantless searches, harsh questioning, and possibly mass arrests. Another could be "freelance" roadblocks-roadblocks set up by anybody from political protesters to highwaymen. (Just as gangs of home invaders now masquerade as SWAT teams, highwaymen might masquerade as government officials to rob the unwary.) If it's humanly possible, avoid roadblocks. It's not illegal to turn away from them, as long as you don't disobey any traffic laws. Police do consider it suspicious behavior and may come after you, even if you've done nothing wrong; but in a time of civil unrest, avoiding a roadblock could save your skin. Of course, both police and freelancers will set up their blockades to make them as hard as possible to avoid-all the more reason to be alert, know where roadblocks are likely to be, and have a mental map of alternate routes. If, in a time and place of unrest, you're in a line approaching a roadblock, watch what happens to the people ahead of you. If you see any sign that the motorists ahead are being abused, get out of there. So far we've talked mostly as if civil unrest is something apart from us-some thing we might have to be wary of, something we might stumble accidentally into. But the fact is that as our country becomes less free, we might of course be the civil unrest. We might resist having our premises tagged for NAIS or having our herds slaughtered for real or bogus health reasons. We might end up fighting evictions (as farmers and many rural dwellers have for centuries during hard times). We might be the ones who say, "Hell no, we won't go!" when the mobile vaccination van comes to town, or the ones who try to keep our neighbors from being rounded up and sent to camps. Times are uncertain. We simply don't know. (I predict we will collapse like the Soviet Union did without the fuss) But in every case, preparedness, foreknowledge, and a cool head will come in handy. Some of us already have lines in the sand that would inspire us to resist abuses of authority. And that, right there, is something our would-be masters fear-our disobedience. What will happen? And when? Nobody has a crystal ball. But the combination of public frustration and governmental apprehension is an explosive one. Someday, somebody will light the match." Personal comment-We had this in the 1960's after Martin Luther King was assassinated in every town in the USA, we personally lost. Roadblocks have been going on for 100 years. The economic crisis could very well resolve all these problems. Tighten up your seat belt for the turbulent ride ahead when people are hungry desperate. July 12, 2009 journal, the president visits Ghana and the coastal region were slaves were staged for shipment by the British after being sold as slaves by their own blood brothers. Some speculate that the Zionist Edomites were behind the slave trade which the South gets blamed for what they first went to the factors of the North but it was not conducive for their survival because of the cold climate. The slaves ended up picking cotton in the South. That cotton ended up being taxed 42% export duty and brought on the civil war. Cheney is linked ordering CIA concealment from Congress of a secret torture program. 2 sources within the CIA say Cheney ordered them to hide this program from the Congress. From the New York Times about Cheney's concealment from Congress for eight years. "New York Times reported today that Cheney instructed the CIA to keep it secret from Congress, the new administration is now reported to be leaning toward the appointing of a special prosecutor which usually does nothing but draw money to continue be political. "The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for 8 years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the current agency's director, Leon E. Panetta has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, 2 people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday." "The report that Mr. Cheney was behind the decision to conceal the still-unidentified program from Congress deepened the mystery surrounding it, suggesting that the Bush administration had put a high priority on the program and its secrecy. Mr. Panetta, who ended the program when he first learned of its existence from subordinates on June 23, briefed the 2 intelligence committees about it in separate closed sessions the next day. Efforts to reach Mr. Cheney through relatives and associates were unsuccessful. The question of how completely the CIA i-nformed Congress about sensitive programs has been hotly disputed by Democrats and Republicans since May, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the agency of failing to reveal in 2002 that it was waterboarding a terrorism suspect, a claim Mr. Panetta rejected". We are a terrorizing nation of thugs. 60 Minutes did not reveal name of the officer or his book. I have no name for his book. "After September 11, 2001, a team of elite Delta Force commandos was sent into Afghanistan with an assignment to find and kill Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora -- but that mission failed. The commander of the Delta Force team has now written a book which tells what he says is the true story of what went wrong. He appeared anonymously on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday to summarize that story. Bin Lad More.. en was known to be holed up at Tora Bora on a ridge with an elevation of 14,000 feet. The Delta Force team's initial plan was to come at him from the direction he'd least expect, climbing over the mountains at his back, but that plan wasn't approved by the higher-ups. Their second idea, to drop hundreds of landmines along the mountain passes to Pakistan to impede bin Laden's retreat and then bring in helicopters, was also turned down. "How often does Delta come up with a tactical plan that's disapproved by higher headquarters?" CBS's Scott Pelley asked the commando leader. "In my experience, in my five years at Delta, never before," he replied. The only remaining option was a frontal assault by 50 US Delta Force members plus their Afghan guides -- and the Afghan warlord accompanying the commandos frankly told them, "I don't think you guys can handle it." A few million dollars from the CIA quickly secured his cooperation, but only to a degree. The Delta Force leader told CBS that the Afghan fighters went home every night, abandoning whatever territory had been gained that day. "It was almost like it was an agreement, an understanding between the two forces fighting each other," he stated When the CIA did come up with an exact location on bin Laden, it was nighttime, and the Afghan support was nowhere to be found. "It wasn't worth the risk at that particular moment to go up there and play cowboy," the leader told CBS. "It was better to be cautious, refit, go up there with the entire force the next day and play the battle out as we had planned." But when he attempted to move on bin Laden the next day, his Afghan allies balked, saying they had negotiated a cease fire with al Qaeda, and even drew their weapons on the Delta force team to prevent it from acting alone." There is a book entittled 'Kill Ben Laden' by U.S. Army Colonel David Hunt available on Internet. "Shortly thereafter, intercepted radio communications showed that bin Laden was on the move. A cave which al Qaeda members had been seen entering was bombed for several hours, and it was thought that bin Laden had died there. But when US forces checked the cave six months later, bin Laden's body was not found. The Delta Force leader believes he received medical treatment in a local village and then got away safely into Pakistan." Dick Cheney sent his daughter out on Fox News world propaganda network to say that "This proves the Democrats are incapable of protecting this country". This is a standard answer when they have no answer to criminal charges. I do not know much about the ability of Democrats to protect this country but I sure do know that the Republicans are incapable of protecting this country because they have already sold it off to the neocons. The big news today is the trillion dollar budget deficit that is with four sets of 000 zeros. The miracle is that we are still on the globe considering the nuts in Washington D.C. are spending us blind. What is the difference in the bailout and the stimulus money other than the bailout was Republican going directly to their bosses on Wall Street and banks while the stimulus went into the field where it may have been needed the most. The amounts were not much difference but may be the straw that breaks the camel's back as they say. Home invasions are on a rise as are people being murdered for what ever they may have. postor willy drake bad this Southern California for the homeless. Easter holiday break pray and Jim Thompson
