Thomas Jefferson, 1781


"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. "
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Forgotten History

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)


THE "FED", a private bank, has been issuing our currency ever since 1913, by the way.

An Idea Worth Spreading


Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness –- shut down one by one. An astonishing story.

The Real Reason Why The Rich Should NOT Be Taxed

From Fox News interview:
WALLACE: How does [McCain] overcome all of that and…

BUSH: Because there’s two big issues. One is, who’s going to keep your taxes low? Most Americans feel overtaxed and I promise you the Democrat [sic] party is going to field a candidate who says I’m going to raise your tax.

If they’re going to say, oh, we’re only going to tax the rich people, but most people in America understand that the rich people hire good accountants and figure out how not to necessarily pay all the taxes and the middle class gets stuck.

We’ve had — we’ve been through this drill before. We’re only going to tax the rich and all you have to do is look at the history of that kind of language and see who gets stuck with the bill.
He is really serious too. Why tax them if they won't pay anyway? If that makes any sense to you then go crawl back under your rock.

Delete Censorship

From Delete Censorship.Org
Freedom of speech and freedom of the
press include your right to knowledge
and the expression of ideas. Support the
imaginative and courageous authors of all
books, including those that open our eyes
to controversial topics. Exercise your
First Amendment rights by reading a
banned or challenged book. Encourage
others to build libraries, not bonfires.
Support the First Amendment, because it CAN happen here and those in power, left or right would love to control what you and I can say, write and read.

AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! 2008, I can't believe it!!!

Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you -- all of you on the good Earth

1968 was a year of assassinations, war and riots, the country was in turmoil.
A picture was taken on Christmas Eve that year which no human had ever seen before.
It was the picture that saved 1968...


Christmas Eve 1968

From Nasa:
This photo of "Earthrise" over the lunar horizon was taken by the Apollo 8 crew in December 1968, showing Earth for the first time as it appears from deep space.

Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders had become the first humans to leave Earth orbit, entering lunar orbit on Christmas Eve. In a historic live broadcast that night, the crew took turns reading from the Book of Genesis, closing with a holiday wish from Commander Borman: "We close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you -- all of you on the good Earth."
