Best news I heard all week is that Henry Kissinger is Depressed because the people are waking up and his dream of a New World Order is fading accordingly. James P Tucker a veteran Bildeberg Reporter warned us that the worlds mega elite are in full retaliation against the masses.
Their meeting on March 21st in Switzerland reached a consensus that gas prises must reach $7.00 per gallon by 2012. This is in the hope that Americans and dissenters spend all their time worrying on how to survive rather than protest the the NWO agenda.
Lindsey Williams (Pastor to the Oil elite) confirmed last winter when gasoline was at a record low of just $60 a barrel that they were going to drive up the cost of gas and create instability in the middle east. He also said it was the wishes, work, and objectives of the oil elite to push gas prices to 5$-$6 a gallon by summer to satisfy the objectives set forth in previous environmental summits.
The ongoing Oil shock is attributable to Maurice Strong and UN Agenda 21 as described by the law of multiples (See Dr. Albert Bartletts Video titled The Most Important Video You Will EverSee CLICK LINK BELOW) to understand the urgency and motive the NWO has to deindustrialize Society, Create a One World Dictatorship, and depopulate the planet to the scientifically agreed upon numbers of the NWO. One additional exciting point to report on in the war against the NWO has been the work of Max Keiser in exposing Rockefeller's bank J.P. Morgan Chase. Silver is on a roll as we have witnessed in the past few months. Max Keiser is working diligently to push up the price of Silver to teach JP Morgan a lesson in Naked short selling or the illegal manipulation of the COMEX. Soon Silver will cross the $47.00 mark when it does we can kiss JP Morgan and the Federal Reserve Good Bye. All throughout history Silver has traded at 1/16th the value of Gold. Gold is at $1,500.00 per ounce Silver at just $47.00 per ounce. The correct price of Silver (Save the Naked Short Selling and COMEX problems) should be at about $90.00 per ounce. The stellar rise of Gold and Silver, the worlds oldest International currency for the last 6,000 years should make the Tea Party Patriots blush because when the dollar falls and a new currency in implemented it will have to be a Constitutional Bullion Backed Currency in order to function. This will by decree end the era of crony capitalism whereby central banks control money and populations first by inflation, then by deflation and ultimately induce recessions, depressions and inequitable distributions of wealth and poverty. Keep buying Silver anything, the less Silver there is out there the less J.P. Morgan will be able to obtain to meet the demands of it Bailee's who are increasingly taking physical delivery. The implosion of the dollar will unfortunately occur through Hyperinflation, under Game Theory there is no other way this could play out and the CEO of Walmart recently announced that they are bracing for inflation within the next few years. Be prepared for a double dip recession and a prolonged period of economic stagnation. CLICK this link to watch THE MOST IMPORTANT LECTURE YOU WILL EVER SEE
In August 2006, Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital, offered what many considered to be an outlier prognosis for the economy: The exuberance would end, real estate prices would crash back down to earth, and consumers would revert to saving from spending. In short, a deep recession was in the works.
As outlandish as he may have sounded at the time, he was right. Four years and the worst recession since the Great Depression later, Schiff stands alone again with a bleaker diagnosis for the economy: an inflationary depression.
In an interview, Schiff, president and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, and author of the new book How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, said he thinks the government’s policies — massive fiscal stimulus and a zero interest-rate policy — have put the U.S. on a track for a collision course.
As such, to protect one’s wealth, Schiff recommends divesting U.S. assets and dollar-denominated debt in favor of emerging markets. He likes natural resources economies like Australia, Norway, and Canada.
The current administration has engaged in a "faux pas" style of leadership that dare not challenge the worst attributes of employee abuses. Starting with the mayor who last year took 28 days off from work without telling anyone.
It should be no surprise that when city employees go wild, the boss who set the standard is having a hard time holding people accountable. The policy to fixing our problems in government appears to be one where we expand it and then outsource it.
Last fall when the building department failed to deliver service on its five permits each day, the current administration hired a $100,000.00 per year customer service representative aka Land Use Czar. To add insult to injury he paid an expert 50,000.00 for a report (AKA The KRIT). No one was fired, the building department budget was increased double digits to nearly $900,000.00 per year all for the sake of rewarding the slovenly and outrageous behavior of a disgraceful department riddled with excuses for why they cannot perform.
When the tax collector failed to their job in collecting business taxes, the current administration again gave away the city's money to a private corporation to do the job of the tax collector. We pay that department, and its associated employees, to do the job of collecting taxes. Yet again, of the estimated $560,000.00 that is being collected by this corporation the city will be giving away $110,000.00 of it as a corporate commission.
When the school Superintendent gets arrested, no the Mayor cannot just demand he "resign," "quit," or "stop abusing the school board." He instead stays silent as he is offered $125,000.00 for allegedly sexually abusing his employees.
One must sit back in awe, and wonder why the current administration finds it easier to raise our taxes, oppose the Jonathan Law addition, and hold the taxpayers of this city accountable for the failures of the local bureacracy. Part of being the Mayor in this city, is holding city employees accountable and demanding that they not use the city as their personal "piggy bank."
While many are struggling, and having a hard time finding good work, the citizens of milford who are also to blame are enabling this very tyrannical behaviour by chosing to not get involved. The old addage of "oh my family does not discuss religion or politics" is getting old.
There is no greater Irony and comeuppance than watching those very people who believe such ignorance pack up their foreclosed house and then go cry on the shoulder of their child molesting priest.
You get the government you "pay attention to" not the one that is "advertising in your mailbox." The sooner you start to get involved in our community, the sooner you can get the thieves out of your checking accounts.
Everywhere you look, Television ads, newspaper ads, signs in front of our local hotels and meeting halls the signs are the same... "We buy Gold." The new gold rush is nothing new but lately it is looking better than ever as an investment redeemable in dollars, or for that matter any currency anywhere in the world.
Since 1913 Gold has steadily increased and proved itself as a stable investment. Gold once $22.00 per ounce is today $1,100.00 per ounce. Compare that to our paper currency and we have a backward relationship. What Two Cents bought in 1913 you need a Dollar for today, or a 98% decrease in value due to inflation.
Had we kept our Gold standard, meaning that our money was redeemable in Gold or Silver there would have been no inflation, because an ounce of gold would have purchased the same amount today as it did back then.
Unfortunately for those "banksters" and con men who wanted a "free ride" the science of turning lead into gold (Alchemists) failed badly. So the next best thing happened, Nixon ditched the gold standard and our money was backed by an unconstitutional law "legal tender" and a the power of "big government guns."
However, the "bankster" party is soon coming to an abrupt end, because as the world increasingly recognizes that America has virtually no viable industry left and is on the edge of insolvency. The Treasury keeps selling U.S. debt at record levels.
If that alone is not alarming enough the Fed also enacted a policy of "Quantitative Easing" or in other words we print money to buy debt (AKA T-Bills) no one wants. The U.S. rarely buys any other nations debt, and currently our Government cannot function without its printing press. David Walker of the GAO recently quit because he was "frustrated that Congress was not prepared to make the hard choices that had to be made" and the U.S. Federal Reserve is fiercely resisting an audit.
Recently they hired Enron's former P.R. firm to lobby Congress not to audit the Fed. Two bills H.R. 1207, and S.B. 604 were introduced in congress to complete the audit. Both bills have bipartisan support, but unfortunately neither Dodd nor Lieberman have Co-sponsored the bill despite the numerous End The Fed Rallies, Tea Parties and a recent poll showing that a large majority of American's want the GAO audit.
The corporatocracy, and billionaire traitor George Soros said the Dollar needs to suffer an orderly collapse, he would like to see our currency managed by a globalist World Bank. If the Corporate Plutocracy succeeds in this objective we may soon see the United States "on its knees" begging for help from the Globalist IMF.
Some may think that Americas wealth and Gold is at Fort Knox, and that America has lots of Gold. This was my initial premise and I wrote to Christopher Shays a former Congressmen from my old town.
Shay's sent me a disturbing letter, he said that "according to Edmund C. Moy, Director of The United States Mint, the United States Gold Reserves stated in 31 U.S.C. 5116 and 5117 (statutory Rates), which are $42.22 per fine troy ounce of Gold." This is the rate that legally must be used to report the value of Gold.
This is a real alarming report, because according to Ron Paul the Federal Reserve, a private consortium of "unknown" banks and owners lists the Gold on their balance sheet essentially making it the property of these private corporations.
The statutory rate is merely an indication of when the Gold reserves were last audited. It is fair to say that the audit had to be around the time of the above listed value of $42.22 this most likely occurred during the period of Woodrow Wilson, the same man who was put into office by the banking elite. Wilson also entered the U.S. into WWI, Gave us the I.R.S. and the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank.
Wilson later wrote in regret "I am a most Unhappy Man because I unwittingly ruined my country." Within the next two years as newer and more aggressive globalist attacks are directed at the U.S., such as the latest meeting of the G20, we will see increased activity in the transfer of worthless U.S. dollars into hard assets.
These assets may include tangible items like Agriculture, Oil, Natural Resources, Land, Precious Metals and Real Estate. Essentially anything that could be deemed a viable and legitimate non-depreciating asset. The little guy will get inflation in return as the immutable laws of supply and demand compete for value based asset acquisition.
When the U.S. Dollar tanks, financial experts such as Peter Schiff from Euro Pacific Capital, a contributor to CNBC, and a contender for the Republican Nomination for U.S Senate, says that the "Collapse will not be orderly, and when it does happen it will be more like a death spiral. The bankers at the G20 know this so they are trying to devise a way to save themselves first."
The news today at Reuters once again bears many of those same articles about the U.S. Dollar entering a dark period and gold continuing to reach new highs. Those who are able to protect themselves from this impending calamity will be able to retire comfortably, those who do not will soon find out how fast they can be deprived of their life savings.
Alex Jones, a Texas radio host said this about the Plutocracy: "They laugh at our Dollar, they know its nothing more than paper and not wealth, most of what they retain is Gold and similar non depreciating assets."
Hopefully after reading what I wrote here you will take the time to validate that what I am saying is in fact true. Hopefully those of you who still are in denial will take some meaningful action in seeking out advice and consult with your own financial experts. Get more than one opinion, and by all means be ready to do the required research to support yourself.
We are merely one terrorist act away from this nightmare immediately going into full force
For those not familiar with this issue read the earler articles listed here on the Federal Reserve menace and Peter Schiff's comments. For everyone else the bill below featuring the U.S. President who signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, may in our lifetime appear in our wallets. This could be the new look of America and Inflationism. The only question is... How much Gold will that note buy
Photo of a Bank note only used between banks and bankers featuring Woodrow Wilson. Embelished with the honor of Americas greatest denomination, Wilsons image on money would be seen only by America's elite bankers delighted with his signing of the Federal Reserve Act.
Wilson later, in great regret had this to say about his failures:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

Update:
Connecticuts shameful Representatives who have refused to join the 207 Co-Sponsors of the Audit the FED Bill. Call your congressman and demand they stop the Fed from destroying our currency and ruining our economy.

Peter Schiff Founder and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital was born in nearby New Haven and currently lives in Darien. His message below is a weekly address on the state of the U.S. economy and its impact on local residents their pensions and future dollar value. Peter gives us an interesting assessment and a somber warning.
This was followed by a letter from Ron Paul earlier this week calling for all CT state representatives to support his bill that calls for an audit of the Federal Reserves reckless monetary policy instituted by the private central bank. The bill HR 1207 an S. 604 has no support from our state representatives and is under the review of U.S. House Speaker Nanci Pelosi.
Please Call our CT representatives and demand they support this bill and give the public an accounting of the Trillions of taxpayer dollars that are in question. Our CT leaders are officially being put on notice by the Campaign For Liberety (AKA Tea Party Organizers) that they "either take action to rein in an out of control Fed, or face the wrath of angry patriots." through their defacto support.
Most of these businesses being audited, are estimated to have $50,000.00 or more in taxable assets. These assets are usually the ones listed on their property report documents and are located at the Town Tax Assessors office. Many small businesses are already questioning the irrational logic behind paying tax to the city on company chairs, desks, computers, plants, and art however, some in city hall are crying foul that not enough is being reported.
Richetelli is expecting the sweeping "business tax" dragnet style audit to reap $200,000.00 in revenue to his budget. The Milford Mirror has also made a rather dismissive story out of this business hostile city policy. The Mirror cited that only big companies will be subject to the audit, when in reality the auditing company will get a one time 25% commission on all the cash it can legally extort from our local community.
This commission may certainly all but guarantee that the estimated 700 targeted businesses increase to a greater number. This figure may actually balloon further as the immutable laws of corporate greed give birth to the wanton avarice of most every common collection agency. But what concerns me is not so much the corruption of good men, the "carte blanche" given to Tax Management Associates, or the squabbling pirates who will be dividing the new found loot at city hall, it is, rather the aggregate encumbrance and interference of our local governments misguided policy in the business community.
The timing of this could not be more inappropriate. The state of Connecticut just reinvigorated its tax amnesty plan and is in the early phase of implementing tax enforcement against small businesses mis-reporting sales taxes. The Federal government is raising all kinds of taxes across the board, local commercial and residential property taxes have spiked and the minimum wage increase has been recently put into effect.
This has all happened in a period where the credit markets have been frozen, making it very difficult to obtain credit for business loans, unemployment rates have significantly increased, and electric rates doubled. Recently CT Representative Cafero (R) from Norwalk said that Connecticut was ranked dead last as being the worst state in America to operate a small business, and Milford may very well be on its way to being the worst town in CT with this unusual collection attempt.
This latest Richetelli policy, albeit legal and seemingly altruistic and honorable is, poorly timed, ill conceived and nothing more than a creative attempt to circumvent the reality that our city cannot continue to ignore the nationwide malaise of Carbon Taxes, Tax Hikes, Fee Hikes, Inflation, Foreclosures, and Increased Regulation imposed on everything.
The choices are not good for anyone involved, but for city officials to just "jump at easy money" under the guise of "tax collection enforcement policy" is neither an honest assessment of the cities "good intentions" or a direct attack limited to "big business" only. Large companies in our city like Schick have options, they can close down and move their manufacturing elsewhere, much in the same way Bic left town for Shelton costing the city jobs and taxable revenue.
This policy is a wrong headed policy that will add to the hostile business climate already underway. There is little doubt that business will adapt and cut back to balance their books at the expense of their employees who always end up paying the price through reduced medical benefits, pay limitations, and most tragically unemployment. The resulting business tax enforcement will certainly convince many small businesses on the verge to come to a faster and more decisive decision, that this new enforcement action may be the deciding factor to just Go out of business.... It does'nt take much in this hostile business climate.
Milford needs to be thinking in the "other way" or in other words do a "complete 180 degree turn" on this one if our local businesses are to thrive as this administrations claims in its public rhetoric.
The tea party held today, in New Haven CT slowed I95 to a crawl. At the event were all the major news stations, newspapers and yes of course over 1,000 disgruntled angry citizens fed up with excessive taxation, bank bailouts and the government practice of indebting the public.
The photo below is just a small section of the 1/4 mile strip of people who parked as far as IKEA to get to the event. The signs people were holding tell the-now common theme of taxation anxiety. Not too many people showed up to support the 3.6 trillion dollar Obama Budget, actually it was quite to the contrary every person I asked about the Obama budget was not only against it, but angry that our President would even suggest such a reckless irresponsible spending package. Many were also upset with the Tax cheats holding high office (I.e. Geitner) in the Obama administration, the AIG bailouts and also our incumbent senator Chris Dodd who will be most likely seeking a new job come next election.
The event was an amazing outpouring of people from all walks of life. The April 15th tax day protest was entirely organized by grass roots individuals through our entire country, and there were three major events held in Connecticut today, and several smaller events reported in Wilton and Greenwich. The other two larger events were held in Hartford, and New London and were equally well attended. The people have certainly spoken, and now it is up to our elected leaders to heed the call and demands of the people who elected them.
UPDATE
Christine Stewart Posted Coverage of the Hartford Capitol Tea Party. Over 3000 in attendance.
The kettle is brewing and about to boil over this April 15Th at a city near Milford. Years of taxation without representation, excessive wasteful spending, looting of our treasury and runaway debt on the backs of countless future generations of children are what is on the hearts and minds of the American people.
Congress and its 9% approval rating, both our state Senators Dodd and Lieberman now publicly despised for their party betrayal and cronyism to banks and the war agenda's are seeing their campaigns in trouble next election cycle.
This WEBSITE (CLICK THE LINK) has at least three tea parties going on in our state. These tea parties are part of a grass roots movement comprised of not one single leader but many brave citizens who are angry and wish to organize their local communities to exercise their First Amendment rights. They ask for our leaders to redress their grievances, and hold accountable those responsible for the tax and debt malfeasance that is undermining America and its ability to prosper and recover from the current Recession and widespread unemployment.
Anyone who wishes to show these organizations their support should visit the link listed above and participate in what is a PEACEFUL NON-VIOLENT PROTEST, this is how a successful protest works and all those wishing to participate should express their views with with signs, handouts, a megaphone or something that does not result in injury to another individual.
Most people who follow the news know that Obama's budget is the largest in US history, far greater than that of every President before him combined. While no one here at this blog is going to focus on who to blame we instead decided to just be an accountant and follow the public debt.
To begin, it is widely published in the local Milford newspapers that our local debt is about 145,000,000.00, money of which is mostly derived from property taxes. The president, and congress pretty much know that they cannot get money in the same way. They also know that Income taxes alone no longer cut it so they instead began a long history of "as in the game of Monopoly" mortgaging America or taking out huge loans on our country, its assets, and its good faith and credit to repay.
This year is the year of debt and acceptance that someone will eventually come looking for their money. The Chinese indicated they are "Concerned over our ability to repay them back."
We all know what happens in those gangster movies when the victims of usury and criminal lending reach an apex. Usually the bad guys begin to break fingers and take stuff of value while the borrowers go into hiding. Well if Argentina should be our model than the thievery will come much in the same style, as we run out of people to borrow from and create rapid inflation, or as Ron Paul puts it a "silent way of stealing from our savings and pensions."
But here is our local dillemma excluding the states problems. This number is just the estimated Obama bill for Milford. This figure is a percentage of Obama's 3.5 Trillion budget of which the city of Milford is now responsible for $612,051,000.00 or simply put take your property taxes and multiply them about six times and we will have funded this this years Federal Budget.
This figure also does not include the 500,000,000.00 the state of CT intends to borrow. Clearly math and accounting is a mere platitude to be ignored when it comes to politics, but what say the bill collectors when they come looking for the money and we have none. Its my opinion that those characters are a bit more challenging than the ones at City hall, what do you think, is this taxation without representation and can you outline anything we got for our 612 Million? One must ask WHERE IS THIS MONEY GOING?
The photo above is the amount of money, apx One Billion Dollars the citizens of Milford paid and borrowed by virtue of Local, State and Federal Government. This amount may very well exceed the one Billion mark when interest is added on the money borrowed in our name. Double click the picture to fully appreciate how much cash that truly is and then ask yourself why you are powerless to stop it, and why this is not your personal or families concern.
Most people have not a clue what the NWO is, that is because the news anchors and news casters are all reading from the same script. Deviating from that script is what gets people like Phil Donahue, Dan Rather, and the Peter Arnette's banished.. off the air and never to be heard from again.
Glenn Beck, already on his way out was recently banished from MSNBC and given the least popular Rush Hour time slot on the marred Fox News.
But to explain this NWO it is best to mention that in 1992, Dr John Coleman published a New World Order Hierarchy book: It was the Story of the Committee of 300and it was documented with laudable scholarship and meticulous research. Dr. Coleman identifies the players and carefully details the New World Order agenda of worldwide domination and control. On page 161 of his book the New World Order Hierarchy, Dr. Coleman accurately summarizes the intent and purpose of the Committee of 300 as follows:
"A One World Government and one-unit monetary system, under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population.
There will be no middle class, only rulers and the servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist. The system will be on the basis of a welfare state; those who are obedient and subservient to the One World Government will be rewarded with the means to live; those who are rebellious will simply be starved to death or be declared outlaws, thus a target for anyone who wishes to kill them. Privately owned firearms or weapons of any kind will be prohibited."
Just something to think about when our President Barrac Obama AKA Barry Saetoro is bowing before the queen of England, who also knighted Henry Kissinger, Ted Kennedy and many other of her favorite Benedict Arnolds.
This comparison to the British traitor (posing as an American)Benedict Arnold may sound harsh, but the open defiance of our Constitution calls for strong language. The U.S. Constitution is crystal clear, mainly Article I Section 9:
"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King (ehhem..queen), Prince or foreign State."
This is the very document that Obama before an enormous crowd swore an oath to defend. Obama knows the Constitution well as he holds a law degree from Harvard University and taught Constitutional Law. Why this unnecessary act of defiance against his own Country during these difficult times is hard to accept and yet sad and hurtful. I hope others can see this as well.
America is being destroyed from within and our call to fight terrorism has never been more challenging as our nation is infiltrated with elected leaders who wish to harm and bankrupt our country.
History does not have to repeat itself, and America does not have to destroy its currency the way the Weimar in Germany did. Some smart people said "never again" and yet here it is right in "our face" bolder than ever.
To all those traitors and terrorists posing as our "Representatives."
The video, “We The People Stimulus Package,” has over a million views.
Basso is a former award winning news director for NBC TV and visiting professor at UCLA.
He was scheduled to appear on the Jerry Doyle radio show but canceled after Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House “to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos,” according to WND.
Members of the new Commission on Enhancing Agency Outcomes gathered for the first time Wednesday to begin its five month task of finding ways to streamline state government.
The 15-member panel created last month in the budget mitigation package will attempt to find efficiencies in state government that will reduce the costs and increase access to services.
Sen. Gayle Slossberg, D-Milford, one of the co-chairs of the new commission, said there are so many overlapping functions within state agencies. And Slossberg should know because she’s mapped them all out on the walls of her office.
She said the commission will look to improve cooperation between state agencies and eliminate duplicate functions.
Sen. Michael McLachlan, R-Danbury, said the commission will be examining what’s best for the state, instead of listening to whose barking the loudest.
“There are going to be no sacred cows when people enter this room,” Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, said.
But the state legislature will be asked to pass a two-year budget before June 3 and if the commission’s report isn’t due until July 1, how is it’s work going to be relevant as the legislature tackles an estimated $8.7 billion budget deficit?
Slossberg said the commission includes the co-chairman of the legislature’s Appropriations Committee along with the Republican ranking members of that committee, so the commission will work on a parallel course with the legislature’s budget writing committee.
Sen. Toni Harp, D-New Haven, who is the co-chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, said if the commission comes up with some good ideas in the next couple of weeks its possible they might make their way into this year’s budget proposal, which is due out during the first week of April. She said since the commission is bipartisan and also includes a member of the governor’s Office of Policy and Management “it may be helpful for budget negotiations as we move forward.”
Harp said the Appropriations Committee is already considering some of Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s proposed consolidations of state agencies and commissions. “Some we may keep and some we may not,” she said.
William Cibes, one of the four members of the commission who is not an elected official, said if the commission is going to be successful the governor has to be involved early on in the process.
The economic downturn and pandemic corruption throughout Connecticut is causing a stir around the state this month. In the last few weeks several protests have taken place at the State Capitol in Hartford.
The most recent protests include the Acorn protest over the foreclosure of properties belonging to the elderly, veterans, and our states poor and unemployed. A nursing protest took place over the states budget cutbacks and the church led an angry mob to Hartford protesting the latest news of a bill that would strip churches of its financial authority, a measure they call revenge for their position opposing gay marriage in CT.
Locally in Milford our school media aides led a protest over the budgetary decision to eliminate several of their jobs, and parents, teachers and taxpayers have been in constant conflict over the ever-increasing school budget.
Meanwhile disenfranchised voters and progressive thinkers have formed a third party in Milford that has drawn thirty plus individuals from both parties (and all walks of life.) This party has threatened the local balance of power enjoyed by Republicans and Democrats and will yield an impressive status of deciding which party wins an election. Independent Conservative candidates could potentially sink Republican races, and Independent Liberal candidates could also sink Democratic races.
Many citizens are coming to an epiphany, finding the economic climate, and its effects on government enlightening and humbling as more and more people begin to realize how much we depend on the government for just about everything. The largest employer in Milford is the city itself, and the state of Connecticut and the Federal Government also fear that despite the economic downturn layoffs of government jobs will accelerate the economic downturn and stir more social unrest.
Many economic experts have predicted a "summer of rage" in America and as it stands Connecticut is off to a good start. But to cap this story off with something to be proud of, Connecticut is ranked highest in the nation as a provider to the poor and homeless, this record is largely thanks to the states churches (under attack) and the associated state grants rendered to them.
I attended the Health Care Forum down at the Coast Guard Academy today. Overall it was about what I expected, much hot gas was released but no cogent ideas were formed.
While I didn’t get the opportunity to unleash my health question trifecta on Dodd during the forum I did catch up with him afterward. I asked Mr. Dodd when Congress authorized Senator Kennedy to receive his honorary knighthood from England. He honestly enough told me that no such authorization came out of congress. When I then informed him that Senator Kennedy is in violation of Article I section 9 of the Constitution and asked when the Senate intended to remove Kennedy he had only laughter.
It is clear that Senator Dodd has no interest in upholding his own oath to defend the Constitution in response to Senator Kennedy’s violation of his oath of office and the Constitution.
It is obvious that we need to get rid of this clown because he has no intention of ever doing what he was elected to do, uphold the constitution.
From Article I Section 9:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell warned in a press release Monday that the state may face cash flow problems in a few months.
“In addition to regular bills, in the coming months the state must make the next round of Education Cost Sharing payments (the main grant for state education aid) to cities and towns, and we want to be sure there is enough cash on hand to make those grants without overstretching our resources,” Rell said. The next round of ECS payments is due May 1 and will total more than $945 million.
“It is not clear yet whether we will need to do anything,” Rell said.
“It would not be the first time the state has taken such action and it is only prudent to plan for all eventualities. There are a number of options at our disposal, including issuing Bond Anticipation Notes or drawing on a line of credit arranged with banks. If we must act, we will looking for the best option - one that will give us the ‘liquidity’ we need without incurring excessive interest charges or other expenses. I will consult with my budget office, the Treasurer and others as we determine the next steps,” Rell said.
Reports arriving from Howard Davidowitz of Davidowitz & Associates. As more Americans save and spend less, it’s clear there’s too much retail space. Just visit Web site deadmalls.com and track retail’s growing body count. And luxury retailers? They’re on "life support," Davidowitz says.
Just about every super retailer in the Post Mall in Milford is bleeding money at unsustainable levels. Layoffs are common, and an estimated 220,000 stores will be shut down this coming year. This marks real bad news for mall owners who already lost many jewelry stores and toy stores. In Milford this is especially bad news because the Post Mall is our towns largest taxpayer.
The super Retailers are dubbed the "Anchors" of the retail model at malls. When anchors fail, as they did at the Bridgeport mall back in 1990's the entire system soon collapses as foot traffic dies off to virtually every store.
While I hope their is something spectacular about our mall, it is important to note that when a giant chain fails it fails everywhere not just in one particular place or state. The time is now here to wait and see what happens to our mall.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Tuesday that while she believes the budget she presented to the General Assembly earlier this month was balanced she will have her budget office get together with the legislature’s budget office and the state Comptroller’s office to see if they can agree on the budget deficit.
Rell’s budget office had projected a $6 billion budget deficit for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, while the legislature’s budget office projected an $8.7 billion budget deficit for those same two years.
“I put together a budget based on the facts I had at the time,” she said. “I think we all agree the budget deficit continues to grow.”
In an emailed statement, Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven, said he is encouraged by Rell’s announcement.
“It is apparent that the budget that Gov. Rell proposed two weeks ago will not put our fiscal house in order,” Looney said. “I appreciate Gov. Rell’s willingness to revise her projections and trust that when new deficit numbers are agreed upon, that she will work with the legislature to find solutions.”
At the moment Rell said she still won’t entertain any talk of tax increases until the legislature can put some spending cuts on the table. “I’m not talking revenue until we talk cuts,” she said.
“I’ve said from the very beginning we need to make budget cuts,” Rell said. “I’m the only person that has put budget cuts on the table.”
In addition Rell said she was still working on her fiscal year 2009 budget mitigation plan to help reduce the more than $1 billion deficit this fiscal year. She has asked the legislature to take a vote on the package, which she has yet to unveil, on Feb. 25.
Along with her budget mitigation plan, Rell’s staff will be meeting with legislative leaders Wednesday morning to talk about a retirement incentive package for state employees over the age of 55.
In a press release sent out on Friday, Rell urged the Democrat-controlled legislature to come up with a retirement incentive package, also known as a RIP, to offer qualifying employees before April 1. “It is my hope that we can trim the payroll through a plan like this,” Rell said in the press release.
Jeff Beckham, spokesman with the Office of Policy and Management, said Tuesday that the governor could negotiate a RIP directly with the unions or the legislature can pass a law providing for it.
Speaker of the House Chris Donovan, D-Meriden, said in a phone interview Tuesday evening that he was under the impression that a early retirement package was being negotiated by the state employee unions and Rell.
“That’s where this proposal belongs,” Donovan said. He said it’s not the legislature’s job to negotiate with the unions. “She needs to put a proposal together and present it to us,” he said.
Rell has asked representatives from all four caucuses to meet with her and the Office of Policy and Management to come up with an early retirement package.
Donovan said he will not be sending anyone from the House Democratic caucus to the meeting Wednesday morning.
Derek Slap, spokesman for the Senate Democrats, said Tuesday that the governor’s office has yet to lay out specifics of the RIP.
How would it work? And who would qualify? These are all details that have yet to be spelled out by the governor, Slap said. He said while the Democrats are open to the idea they would like to see who would be leaving and on what terms.
“Clearly this needs to be done strategically,” he said.
The Washington Post today reports on plans to station 20,000 more U.S. troops inside America for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011, an expansion of Northcom’s militarization of the country in preparation for potential civil unrest following a total economic collapse or a mass terror attack.
“The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials,” reports the Post.
“Domestic emergency deployment may be “just the first example of a series of expansions in presidential and military authority,” or even an increase in domestic surveillance, said Anna Christensen of the ACLU’s National Security Project. And Cato Vice President Gene Healy warned of “a creeping militarization” of homeland security.”
As Alex Jones exposed back in the late 1990’s, U.S. troops have been training for this eventuality for a considerable amount of time. During numerous urban warfare drills that Jones attended and reported on, troops were trained to raid, arrest and imprison U.S. citizens in detention camps as well as taking over public buildings and running checkpoints. During role playing exercises, actors playing prisoners would scream “I’m an American citizen, I have rights” as they were being dragged away by troops.
The contention that the troops will merely help “recovery efforts” after a major catastrophe is contradicted by the fact that Northcom itself, in a September 8 Army Times article, said the first wave of the deployment, which was put in place on October 1st at Fort Stewart and at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, would be aimed at tackling “civil unrest and crowd control”.
After a controversy arose surrounding the admissions made in the Army Times article, Northcom retracted the claim but conceded that both lethal and non-lethal weaponry traditionally used in crowd control and riot situations would still be used in the field.
The increasing militarization of America is part of a long term agenda to abolish Constitutional rule and establish a “military form of government,” following a large scale terror attack or similar disaster, as Tommy Franks, the former commander of the military’s Central Command, alluded to in a November 2003 Cigar Aficionado piece.
Franks outlined the scenario by which martial law would be put in place, saying, “It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”
In the short term, the domestic deployment of troops is likely aimed at combating likely civil unrest that will ensue after a complete economic collapse followed by a devastating period of hyperinflation.
This warning was again echoed a few days ago in a leaked internal memo from Citibank.
“The world is not going back to normal after the magnitude of what they have done. When the dust settles this will either work, and the money they have pushed into the system will feed through into an inflation shock,” wrote Tom Fitzpatrick, Citibank’s chief technical strategist.
The memo predicts “depression, civil disorder and possibly wars” as a fallout from an economic collapse that many say is on the horizon.
Naturally, the claim that such troop deployments are merely to aid in disaster relief efforts is a thin veil aimed at distracting from the real goal. Should a real tragedy occur, volunteers and already existing civil aid organizations are fully capable of dealing with such events, as we witnessed on 9/11.
The military are primarily trained to kill people and break things, and their role during the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts was mainly focused on detaining people in sports stadiums, shooting alleged looters and seizing guns from wealthy home owners in the high and dry areas, while real recovery measures were left to volunteers and local state authorities.
The open admission that U.S. troops will be involved in law enforcement operations as well as potentially using non-lethal weapons against American citizens is a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, which substantially limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement unless under precise and extreme circumstances.
Section 1385 of the Posse Comitatus Act states, “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
Under the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, signed by President Bush on October 17, 2006, the law was changed to state, “The President may employ the armed forces to restore public order in any State of the United States the President determines hinders the execution of laws or deprives people of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”
However, these changes were repealed in their entirety by HR 4986: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, reverting back to the original state of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Despite this repeal, President Bush attached a signing statement saying that he did not feel bound by the repeal. It remains to be seen whether President elect Obama will reverse Bush’s signing statement.
The original text of the Insurrection Act severely limits the power of the President to deploy troops within the United States.
For troops to be deployed, a condition has to exist that, “(1) So hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
Is the incoming Obama administration and Northcom waiting for such a scenario to unfold, an event that completely overwhelms state authorities, before unleashing the might of the U.S. Army against the American people?
The deployment of National Guard troops to aid law enforcement or for disaster relief purposes is legal under the authority of the governor of a state, but using active duty U.S. Army in law enforcement operations inside America absent the conditions described in the Insurrection Act is completely illegal.
The political left and right need to join forces and denounce this plan for what it is - another unconstitutional step towards the incremental implementation of martial law and the militarization of America.
Best news I heard all week is that Henry Kissinger is Depressed because the people are waking up and his dream of a New World Order is fading accordingly. James P Tucker a veteran Bildeberg Reporter warned us that the worlds mega elite are in full retaliation against the masses.
