<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><b><span class="font-size-6">A FISHING STORY</span> <br/> <br/></b> The king wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days, So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">So the king continued on his way. However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."</span> <br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">So the king hired the donkey.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.</span> <br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">The practice is unbroken to this date and thus, the Democrat symbol was born!!! </span></p>

<div class="content"><p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>It seems to me, when you mow a lawn, you must start at some point and make overlapping passes, since it is not possible to do it all instantly. Mowing a lawn has to be done in stages. No matter how much the person on the mower wants the chore to be done it takes multiple passes to do the job. There are many things in life that are like this. One of them is going from a state of liberty to a state of tyranny.</p>
<p>No matter how much the hopeful tyrant wants to start oppressing people immediately, he or she must take it in swipes. They cannot be too big, else people will wake up, and they cannot be too small, else the would be tyrant might run out of time. There is an art to moving a people from liberty to tyranny, just like mowing a lawn.</p>
<p>Since neither can be done immediately both activities need a starting point. In both, the best spot to start is the most convenient corner, in the lawn or society. Find some dark corner and pass laws that deny some disliked element their rights. Step on them to the delight of onlookers. Then move on to the next group of politically disfavored people. Move in this way up the ladder of society until all elements have fallen into line.</p>
<p>Like the weekend landscaper uses a mower, the tyrant wanna be, uses the power of government. It is the mower that does the real work, the guy or gal just guides it around the lawn, as it is the mechanism of government that does the real work of oppressing, the tyro tyrant just guides the Leviathan around. This has an added benefit, when taking too big a bite and people start to open their eyes, one can simply point to the bureaucracy and blame it, until we loose interest and return to our distractions again.</p>
<p>The adolescent tyrant even tries to appear as though they want liberty just as a home owner fertilizes their lawn. As power is amassed the tyrantoid bestows extra “rights” on his people, like abortion, gay marriage, assisted suicide and so forth, claiming to be the angelic benefactor who understands real “rights” versus old fashioned Rights, like freedom of, speech, self defense, religion, property and so forth. Even people who have no stake in the society or government are given the very Rights taken from the masses. Groups are turned against groups as each vie for political favor to get the “rights” bestowed by the government, who is... the person who lusts to be tyrant.</p>
<p>It is always wise to create distractions when a tyrantesque is caught. As scandal is raging, forward some absurd law, regulation or initiative, one that will destroy the economy and put thousands out of work. Label it green or for the children and stand under moral grounds. The conversation will be turned from the scandal, to the imminent destruction of the economy, and the tyrantette is off Scott free. Let's see, some absurd initiatives that could work might be... carbon credits for climate change, or maybe amnesty for illegal immigrants would be another.</p>
<p>No one has ever gone to bed in liberty and awoken in tyranny. The process is always and everywhere done gradually... Unless by revolution. Tyranny is something that has to be done in stages like mowing a lawn. An out of the way corner is chosen to start and the landscaper makes overlapping swathes until the entire lot is done, and a neotyrant does the same thing, but with law and government. Yea, an unmowed lawn may look like chaos, but there is real diversity and productivity in a pasture, while there is total conformity enforced by a periodic mowing on a lawn. So, where do we want to live, as uniform blades of grass in a lawn or as wild flowers in a lea?</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>John Pepin</p>

<p>Everyone,<br/> Mitt Romney found his message and hit on a great theme yesterday and now is speaking from his heart with passion. The American Dream which we all understand and is the reason each and every American loves the United States of America!!! We now have something to vote for - not against and we can explain it to every American without ever using the cold words "socialism and capitalism" And Obama and the left can't tear it down because it is the basis of this great country!!! It is OUR message and we must get every voter and American to connect the idea with Mitt Romney.<br/>
Mitt Romney stands for and will fight for “Individualism and The American Dream”. Write about it and add it into all of your discussions and emails. It is a concept embedded into each and every one of us. When I think of The American Dream, I think of my father who didn't have a college education and started a lumber business from nothing but his hard work 6 days a week, I think of working with my dad delivering and unloading a truck load of lumber to a builder at age 6, I think of my husband's father who moved to Florida and started the town newspaper when he had never even been a reporter, I think of my husband and I who had nothing out of college and built our lives TOGETHER never asking our families or the government for one single dime.<br/>
Write your stories I know you have them. Blanket the internet and every contact you have. This theme can not be attacked by Obama because he will not be attacking Romney, he will be attacking the American Dream. The left will not be able to tear it apart. Why? Because it is something that every American understands and can speak from the heart about.<br/>
Talk about The American Dream achieved through individualism, hard work and perseverance NOT the government giving us money from the rich. Link Romney and The American Dream together every time you meet an undecided voter. <br/>
This is our positive message and it will win us the election in November. It is time to put aside the anger and get back to the America that makes us smile!!!!<br/>
When we work TOGETHER, we WIN elections!!!!!</p>
Just how wide is the divide between liberal progressive democrats and the rest of We the People?

<h1 class="article-title"><span class="font-size-7">Judge Denies Tombstone Water</span></h1>

<li class="region-article-author-info"><a href="http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/maritanoon/" class="author-name">Marita Noon</a> TOWNHALL</li>
</ul>
<p>`</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">It is fire season in the West. <a href="http://topics.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052702303360504577410532346589756.html"><u>Reports</u></a> say the early start is “not a good sign,” and forecasts claim the “combination of heat and dryness will only make western wildfires worse.” The predictions were made in the same week that US District Judge Frank Zapata made a <a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/science/environment/article_02ad6e00-9dd0-584c-b667-2782d08bf54c.html"><u>decision to deny</u></a> an emergency request by the city of Tombstone, AZ, to repair its water system damaged in last year’s Monument Fire. He doesn’t think Tombstone has a crisis. <a href="http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/05/16/46545.htm"><u>Zapata said</u></a><u>:</u> “Claims of a drastic water emergency related to public consumption and fire needs are overstated and speculative.”</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Though he was <a href="mailto:pdriessen@cox.net"><u>born in a small town</u></a>, seven miles from the <a href="http://www.go-arizona.com/Safford/"><u>third highest mountain</u></a> in Arizona, Zapata apparently has not lived with the eminent threat of forest fire. Having grown up in the foothills of Southern California where my family had to evacuate several times as the flames pressed toward our home, I understand the importance of water.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">I got interested in the Tombstone story when I heard a promo for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uw1PK9wAmzQ"><u>John Stossel’s show</u></a> addressing Tombstone’s water woes. He teased the show saying that Tombstone was told they could fix their broken pipes using horses and shovels. This piqued my interest. I’ve written a <a href="http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/maritanoon/2011/12/24/obamaland_american_mules_must_eat_certified_weed-free_hay/page/full/"><u>couple</u></a> of <a href="http://www.conservativeactionalerts.com/2011/04/marita-noon-owls-mules-and-lizards-the-makeup-of-federal-land-management/"><u>columns</u></a> addressing the Forest Service’s requirements for mining claims in Montana that included hand tools and pack mules. You’d think they make this stuff up just for TV, but it’s real—as is the threat of fire in Tombstone.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">In short, here is Tombstone’s tale. (Click <a href="http://goldwaterinstitute.org/article/cnn-showdown-h2o-corral"><u>here</u></a> for a long version.)</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;"><a href="http://www.cityoftombstone.com/index.php"><u>Tombstone</u></a> is a small city in the Arizona desert. They get their water from the nearby Huachuca Mountains through one of the longest gravity-fed systems in the country. Tombstone has an unbroken chain of ownership to the water. The pipeline that brings the water the 26 miles from the springs to Tombstone goes back to before Arizona was a state, way before there was a US Forest Service, or a federal wilderness act.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Last year, on June 16, the massive Monument Fire and the subsequent monsoon rains destroyed the pipelines that bring the water to Tombstone and boulders the size of Volkswagens blocked access to the springs—with some of the springs being buried under 12-15 feet of rock, gravel, and broken trees. Jack Henderson, who was Mayor at the time of the disaster recalls, “There was nothing left. It looked like a moonscape. We lost the war up there.”</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">In fact, the war was just beginning—but the war was not against nature; rather it is against the essential philosophy of our present national government.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">In August, Governor Brewer declared a state of emergency for Tombstone, which provided $50,000 to the city to make repairs. The city rented equipment and applied for and received permits—except for those from the US Forest Service. By the end of October, the city grew tired of waiting. They took an excavator up to the springs. The Forest Service stopped them with the threat of arrest</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Kathleen Nelson, acting ranger in charge of the Coronado National Forest, says the Forest Service has been letting Tombstone do some work to restore its water supply “as long as it complies with the 1964 Wilderness Act”—meaning Tombstone can do the work with shovels and haul the pipe up the mountain with horses (really!). More recently, workers were stopped from using a wheel barrow. Rangers say the wheel barrow is “mechanized” and “might damage wilderness and disturb endangered species.” The feds are blocking emergency repairs that are critical to Tombstone’s survival.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Since then, crews have been able to dig out some of the springs using shovels and pick axes—just as was done in the late 1870s. Thanks to prison inmates carrying pipe, what would have taken the small Tombstone crew six weeks to do, was done in three days. They have been able to lay PVC pipe above ground to bring water to the city—though only a few day’s supply and not enough to fend off fire. Kevin Rudd, the pipeline project manager, fears that their temporary fix will get washed away in the first rainstorm. Monsoon season in Arizona is now less than a month away. Rudd reports that since the beginning of March, work has slowed because of the Mexican spotted owl said to be nesting in the peaks above the pipeline. The owl is not the only obstacle. Boulders have been placed in the middle of the trails. Pipeline has been vandalized, and workers have been confronted and threatened.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Steel pipe needs to replace the temporary PVC, but that requires mechanized equipment. When I asked current Mayor Stephen Schmidt why they were using convicts instead of horses to haul the pipe, he said: “Tombstone doesn’t have any horses.”</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Tombstone not only doesn’t have “any horses,” they also don’t have enough manpower to restore the springs and re-lay the pipes. They don’t have the funds to fight the feds. Former Mayor Henderson has been at the forefront of the battle. During a meeting with the rangers, Henderson says he was told: “If you want permission, you’d better lawyer up. If you don’t like the decision, you’d better call Barack Obama.” Permits are needed for nearly two dozen more springs and the town doesn’t have time to wait. If President Obama can fast track renewable energy projects, he could do the same for Tombstone.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Tombstone took the advice and lawyered up. With the help of the <a href="http://goldwaterinstitute.org/"><u>Goldwater Institute</u></a>, the town took the Forest Service to court. At the District level, they lost. Attorney Nick Dranias has already filed an appeal to the 9<sup>th</sup> Circuit and expects the battle to make it to the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/17/tombstone-ariz-continues-fight-against-the-federal-government/?print=1"><u>Supreme Court</u></a>. He is looking for others who can file a “friends of the court,” or amicus, brief. But all of that takes time—which Tombstone doesn’t have. Without the help of the public, Tombstone, thanks to the federal government, will be writing its own epitaph.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">This is where you and I come in. June 8 and 9, Tombstone is holding a “shovel brigade” similar to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maMpw3ptTLI&feature=relmfu"><u>Jarbridge Shovel Brigade</u></a> in 2000. Individuals are encouraged to come to Tombstone and help with the restoration work—to, literally, lift a shovel. If that is not possible, Americans who care about property rights and state sovereignty, who want to fight federal overreach, are asked to send a shovel and a $5 donation. The funds will be used to fight the legal battle. Since the shovel brigade was announced, <a href="http://www.tombstoneshovelbrigade.org/2012_05_08gazette.pdf"><u>400 shovels were received</u></a> in the first week—thousands are expected. If thousands of people descend on Tombstone, from all parts of America, it makes a major media event—one the White House cannot ignore. (Imagine miles of motorhomes moving into Tombstone.) Like good neighbors, will the Forest Service mobilize its people to help clear debris and restore the system, or will they continue to sit in their offices and shovel paper?</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;"><a href="http://secure.goldwaterinstitute.org/blog/tombstone-arizona-ground-zero-state-sovereignty"><u>Nick Dranias says</u></a>: “If the Forest Service can effectively seize Tombstone’s 130-year-old water rights during a state of emergency— rights that the Service recognized as valid in 1916—no state or local government will be safe from the feds.” The issue is bigger than life or death for Tombstone. It is in the national interest.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Similar battles are playing out across America. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HdgFrPvfx1w"><u>I’ve been involved</u></a> in the <a href="http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/maritanoon/2011/09/18/a_tree_party_rebellion/page/full/"><u>Otero County Tree Party</u></a> where the health and wellbeing of the citizens of Otero County, NM, were threatened by fire due to the overgrown forest—with numbers of trees way beyond the Forest Service’s optimal. But the Forest Service blocked the cutting of trees. Led by Congressman Pearce (R-NM), who cut the first tree, the county commissioners put their citizens ahead of the one-size-fits-all federal regulations and began cutting trees. Hundreds of people were present in a remote mountain town to express their opposition to Forest Service policies drafted in far-away Washington. Like the Tombstone tale, the tree cutting is now in court. Also in New Mexico, is the <a href="http://www.newsmax.com/US/sand-dune-lizard-endangered/2011/04/28/id/394374"><u>sand dune lizard</u></a> issue. Any day now, a <a href="http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/maritanoon/2011/12/04/the_lizard_or_your_livelihood/page/full/"><u>decision</u></a> regarding its listing as an endangered species is expected from the Fish and Wildlife Service, under the direction of Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. Opponents of the listing have been told it will have virtually no impact on the oil and gas, or ranching, activity in the area—yet, the spotted owl is preying on the life of Tombstone, as its supposed presence is being used as an excuse to block progress. Regardless of what FWS decides, the lizard decision, too, will end up in court—making the issue a true attorney-full-employment act instead of ongoing job creation.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">In the same week that experts predicted a bad fire season in the West and that Judge Zapata ruled against the town of Tombstone, Government Accountability Office <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/gao-recoverable-oil-colorado-utah-wyoming-about-equal-entire-world-s-proven-oil"><u>testimony</u></a> stated that “The Green River Formation, a largely vacant area of mostly federal land that covers the territory where Colorado, Utah and Wyoming come together, contains about as much recoverable oil as all the rest of the world’s proven reserves combined.” The Green River Formation could truly make America energy independent. Sadly, under the current administration, it is likely a pipedream. As the report points out, the Green River Formation is “mostly federal land.” The same people making decisions on the Green River Formation are also making decisions on Tombstone’s water woes, the Otero Country Tree Party, and the sand dune lizard listing. These federal decision makers have <a href="http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=1729d357d18ae67afbe3a6085&id=b5a7bb0ddc&e=421812799a"><u>roots in environmental organizations</u></a>; they are fundamentally opposed to humans, our presence on the earth, and anything we do to use our natural resources. People, bad!</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">This is why the Tombstone tale is of utmost importance. Let’s flood Tombstone before the monsoon season. <a href="http://www.tombstoneshovelbrigade.org/"><u>Send shovels. Send $5</u></a>. Show up on June 8 and 9!</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">Ken Ivory, a state representative from Utah, asks: “Why should this story matter to anyone but residents of Tombstone? If unelected, federal bureaucrats can choke off water to a thirsty wooden town, in the middle of a desert, in the midst of a drought, even despite it being a national historic site, what will they do to towns and cities, counties and private landowners in your state?”</p>
<p style="line-height: normal;">I don’t want to find out, do you? Let’s stop them in Tombstone before the feds write Tombstone’s—and America’s—epitaph. </p>

Recently it was announced that ATK was awarded a contract to provide up to 450 MILLION hollow point bullets to the Department of Homeland Security over the next five years. Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly excessive? What in the world is the DHS going to do with 450 million rounds? What possible event would ever require that much ammunition? If the United States was ever invaded, it would be the job of the U.S. military to defend the country, so that can't be it. So what are all of those bullets for? Who does the Department of Homeland Security plan to be shooting at? According to the U.S. Census, there are only about 311 million people living in the entire country. So why does the Department of Homeland Security need 450 million rounds of ammunition? Either this is an incredible waste or there is something that the Department of Homeland Security is not telling us.<br/> <br/>I could understand if the U.S. military was ordering ammunition in this quantity. When you fight wars you can go through ammunition very rapidly.<br/> <br/>But the Department of Homeland Security is only supposed to be shooting at people very rarely.<br/> <br/>It simply does not make sense that they would need so much ammunition.<br/> <br/>The following is an excerpt from the <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/atk-secures-40-caliber-ammunition-contract-with-department-of-homeland-security-us-immigration-and-customs-enforcement-dhs-ice-2012-03-12?reflink=MW_news_stmp" title="" target="_blank">official press release</a> about this deal between ATK and the Department of Homeland Security....</font></p>
<blockquote><blockquote><p><em><span>ATK announced that it is being awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS, ICE) for .40 caliber ammunition. This contract features a base of 12 months, includes four option years, and will have a maximum volume of 450 million rounds.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span>ATK was the incumbent and won the contract with its HST bullet, which has proven itself in the field. The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span>"We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE," said Ron Johnson, President of ATK's Security and Sporting group.</span></em></p>
<p>But this is not the only kind of ammo that the DHS is placing an order for.<br/> <br/>Business Insider <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/us-immigration-agents-are-loading-up-on-as-many-as-450-million-new-rounds-of-ammo-2012-3" title="" target="_blank">is also reporting</a> that the Department of Homeland Security is seeking to buy 175 million rifle ammunition rounds....</p>
<blockquote><blockquote><p><em><span>We've also learned that the Department has an open bid for a stockpile of rifle ammo. Listed on the federal business opportunities network, they're looking for up to 175 million rounds of .233 caliber ammo to be exact. The 223 is almost exactly the same round used by NATO forces, the 5.56 x 45mm.</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>This all comes at a time when gun sales are absolutely going through the roof in the United States.<br/> <br/>Gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co. recently announced that it would be suspending new orders until May because it received orders for <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/22/us-sturmruger-idUSBRE82L0W120120322?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews" title="" target="_blank">more than one million guns</a> during the months of January and February.</p>
<p>The following announcement about this suspension of sales comes <a target="_blank" title="from their official website" href="http://www.ruger.com/corporate/news/2012-03-21.html">from their official website</a>....</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li>The Company's Retailer Programs that were offered from January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012 were very successful and generated significant orders from retailers to independent wholesale distributors for Ruger firearms.</li>
<li>Year-to-date, the independent wholesale distributors placed orders with the Company for more than one million Ruger firearms.</li>
<li>Despite the Company's continuing successful efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders. Consequently, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.</li>
<li>The Company expects to resume the normal acceptance of orders by the end of May 2012.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Since Barack Obama first took office, gun sales in America have risen to extraordinary levels.</p>
<p>Overall, <a target="_blank" title="more than 10 million guns" href="http://nssf.org/newsroom/releases/show.cfm?PR=011812.cfm&path=2012">more than 10 million guns</a> were sold in the United States during 2011.</p>
<p>And gun sales have continued to rise at a brisk pace in 2012. The following was recently posted <a target="_blank" title="on Yahoo News" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sturm-ruger-company-smith-wesson-122000898.html">on Yahoo News</a>....</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The NSSF said that 920,840 instant criminal background checks were made in January alone, a gain of 17.3% over the same month in 2011. This now makes it the 20th consecutive month of increases. While using the number of background checks is a good measurement of sales, it doesn't paint the whole picture as some checks are used for the purchases of multiple firearms. Also, some private transfers and sales from gun shows are exempt, making the actual number of guns sold higher.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>According to Gallup, 41 percent of all Americans said that they owned a gun in 2010. But when that question was asked again in 2011, that number had risen to <a target="_blank" title="47 percent" href="http://azstarnet.com/news/local/az-sees-spike-in-gun-sales/article_4b625a4b-a15e-5a59-af3c-9a8b8a13cb3a.html">47 percent</a>.</p>
<p>Clearly, a lot of Americans are feeling the need to arm themselves.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they may find themselves short on ammunition for those guns considering how much ammo the government is buying up.</p>
<p>So what is causing everyone to buy so many guns?</p>
<p>Well, without a doubt we are likely to see a rise in <a title="crime" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/category/crime">crime</a> as the U.S. economy continues to crumble. People want to be able to protect themselves and their families when everything falls apart. In fact, we are already starting to see some really violent <a title="home invasions" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/10-shocking-home-invasion-horror-stories-that-are-almost-too-creepy-to-believe">home invasions</a> in many parts of the nation. Many in the <a title="prepper movement" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-prepper-movement-why-are-millions-of-preppers-feverishly-preparing-for-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it">prepper movement</a> are deeply concerned about the direction this country is headed and they want to be prepared for whatever happens.</p>
<p>Of course the rising gang problem in America is a major concern too. According to the FBI there are now <a title="1.4 million gang members" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/1-4-million-gang-members-and-more-pour-into-the-united-states-every-single-day">1.4 million gang members</a> living in the United States, and that number has increased <a title="by 40 percent" href="http://www.fbi.gov/?came_from=http%3a//www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment" target="_blank">by 40 percent</a> since 2009. Many urban communities have essentially been taken over by these gangs, and many of these gangs are definitely not shy about using violence. Average Americans that live in these communities want to be able to have a fighting chance against these gangs.</p>
<p>But that doesn't explain why the DHS needs so much ammunition. Yes, our world is becoming increasingly unstable, but under what conditions does the DHS ever anticipate firing off 450 million rounds?</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;" class="font-size-7">Something does NOT add up. I don't trust Homeland Security and I don't trust Obama and the democrat machine!</span></p>

</ul>
<p>In late January President Obama submitted to the Senate the appointments of Jeremy Stein and Jerome Powell to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This past Tuesday the Senate Banking Committee held a nomination hearing for Stein and Powell. None of this really matters, as per <a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/section%2010.htm" target="_blank"><u>Section 10</u></a> of the Federal Reserve Act, neither Stein or Powell can serve currently on the Fed’s Board.</p>
<p>Recall that Section 10 requires that in regard to members of the board ”not more than one of whom shall be selected from any one Federal Reserve district”, the President’s selections ”shall have due regard to a fair representation of…geographical divisions of the country.” In plain English, this means you cannot have more than one Fed governor from the same Fed district.</p>
<p>According to his paperwork, submitted to the Senate, Professor Stein is from Massachusetts. Unfortunately current Fed governor Dan Turullo is from Massachusetts. Mr. Powell is from Maryland, as is current governor Raskin. As this was an issue with the failed nomination of Peter Diamond to the Fed, you’d think the White House (or the Fed) would have bothered to read the statute with these nominations.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t about personal qualifications, this is about the law. In fact, as far as Democratic academics go, I am hard pressed to think of a better nominee than Jeremy Stein. Much of his work has been on the topics of <a href="http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/stein/files/AER-2000b.pdf" target="_blank"><u>monetary policy</u></a> and <a href="http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/stein/files/A-Macropurdenital-final.pdf" target="_blank"><u>financial regulation</u></a>, unlike Professor Diamond. And not only has his work been relevant, it has been thoughtful, insightful and original. Like current governor Turullo, Stein <a href="http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/stein/files/basel-chicago-fed-04.pdf" target="_blank"><u>seems</u></a> to get many of the deep flaws in our current bank capital system. As importantly he also gets the impact of <a href="http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/stein/files/QJE-1995.pdf" target="_blank"><u>down-payment requirements</u></a> as they related to housing markets, something outright rejected by many housing advocates on the left. If the Fed was not already packed with academics, he’d be a fine addition.</p>
<p>While I do not agree with the President’s desire to pack the Fed board with easy money advocates and friends of Wall Street (Powell), I do believe that such is his prerogative, as long as he can get the advice and consent of the Senate. I do, however, believe the President has to do so within the bounds of the law. He should take his search for Keynesians to flyover country (maybe on one of his trips to Ohio), which is not currently represented on the Fed Board.</p>
<p>______________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p><span class="font-size-6">Obama's appointment of Ben Bernanke to chairman of the FED has had huge negative impacts on our nations economy. Bernanke's obsession with printing new money has had the opposite effect needed on reigning in the amazingly fast cost of living increases.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-6">All of Obama's men are racing to excuse the unparalleled increase in the cost of gasoline They're searching worldwide for a place to lay blame on anything other than the real cause ie:</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-6">Bernanke's printing (TRILLIONS) of new dollars reducing the value of each dollar in the process.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-6">President Reagan would say "Deflation, bad for the nation".<br/></span></p>

<dt><font size="4">From intelligence agencies around the world, the verdict on President Obama's newly-released certificate of live birth from Hawaii is in: the certificate is a rank forgery on the same level as the Niger "yellow cake" uranium and Iraq Oil Ministry forged documents. <br/>Intelligence and law enforcement services are experts on fake documents since they have to deal with large numbers of counterfeit documents, such as birth certificates, passports, identity cards and driver's licenses, as well as currency.

<dt><font size="4">Within 24-hours of the release of the long form Certificate of Live Birth on April 27, intelligence agencies from Britain and China to Germany and Russia examined the document and concluded it was a forgery based on the fact that Barack H. Obama Sr.'s race, listed as "African," was a monumental error, considering that not only the United States, but other English-speaking nations described Africans and those of African descent as either "Negroes" or "blacks" in 1961."</font></dt>

<p><span id="yui_3_2_0_17_1332591165519222" style="font-size: 18px;">I wonder if anyone can imagine how ridiculous OUR country looks to the rest of the world by the mere fact that we allow this farce to continue because we are either too stupid or too scared to do anything about it - well there IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO! AND IT IS LEGAL!!!!<br/><br/>It is up to the Secretary of State IN EACH STATE to approve who is on the ballot and that is to be done by proof that the CANDIDATE meets all the qualifications to run for the office of president. Sheriff Arpaio's posse has found substantial evidence and proof that not only is the birth certificate a forgery, but so is his Selective Service card a forgery. And more is coming to light as this goes forward. So what can we do with this information?<br/><br/>First be aware that the sheriff's have evidence enough that they can arrest anyone who presents to the Sec. of State a forged document such as "0"'s birth certificate. It is against the law to be in possession of forged documents and/or to use them. WE CITIZENS can ask that they arrest anyone who presents 0bama's forged document because that PERSON is committing an illegal act. <br/>Further, we can remind the Sec. of State "of our perspective states" that he/she in turn can be arrested for being in possession of and using said forged documents.<br/><br/>Now if you really want a solution, this is one viable and a legal one we can follow. So my suggestion is GRAB YOURSELF BY THE BOOTSTRAPS, AND GET MOVING! WE HAVE WORK TO DO AND THAT IS SAVING OUR COUNTRY FROM THIS FRAUD!!!<br/>Annette<br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I doubt there will be any media news coverage of this latest statement by Lord Monckton, but please go here and read it for yourself. He states that while he is 'no birther', and certainly he would not be, at the same time he clearly sees that the birth certificate offered by 0bama is a definite forgery. <br/><br/>Any law enforcement officer who wants to can walk into the White House and arrest 0bama based on the probably cause found by the MCSO Cold Case Posse. Anybody who presents a certified copy of that BC to a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">state</span> Secretary of State can be charged with offering a false instrument for filing and criminal possession of a forged instrument. So we need to be calling our Secretary of State and when somebody shows up to show that birth certificate is 0bama's eligibility to run for office, insist that he be arrested and so charged. If this was done in every state in the Union, we wouldn't have to worry about him running for office or being re-elected. <br/><strong>SO GET BUSY PEOPLE!</strong></span> <strong id="yui_3_2_0_17_1332591165519241"><br/><br/> <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/22/lord-monckton-im-no-birther-but-obama-birth-certificate-plainly-a-forgery/">http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/22/lord-monckton-im-no-birther-but-obama-birth-certificate-plainly-a-forgery/</a><br/></strong></p>
