Angry Birds Snooping Makes Me Angry

Yet again, our civil liberties are chipped away, bit by bit, by the government. And yet again, most Americans remain silent or indifferent about its occurrence. Even those media outlets who highlighted the story have quickly dropped the subject and moved on to more “pop culture” topics that glean more attention.

Where is the public uproar? Where is the mass dissention? Each time we lose even one of our civil liberties, it’s one step closer to a central government tyranny. Just because it is being done piecemeal doesn’t make it any more right than if it’s done all at once.

The last story of the NSA snooping is what had caught my attention. It seems as if the NSA can now take advantage of “leaky” smartphone apps like Angry Birds. Because these Apps can transmit users’ private information such as phone model, screen size, age, gender, location and possibly sexual orientation, the NSA has obtained a wealth of free and easily obtainable information.

Let us all not forget the Fourth Amendment:

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

 
What is ironic is that the Fourth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. These are the rights given to us by the Constitution and fought for by our forefathers. Are we to sit back now and forget the Constitution, The Bills of Rights and all that that makes America great? Are we just supposed to bow down to our supreme congressional leaders and let them rule without the will of the people? If we do, the country HAS become essentially transformed.

Chicago Style Politics

Hasn’t it been ironic how our first amendment right to free speech continues to erode as political correctness takes effect. Worse than that, those progressives that so ardently embrace free speech are the same ones who wish to censor anyone who does not agree with them. Remember Hank Williams, the man who sang the Monday Night Football theme song? Just one negative comment about Obama and this country singing icon was axed.

The sad thing that I’m now witnessing is bullying not only from the media but from the White House. Those that do not conform to the status quo are chastised by the media and are now unfortunately harassed by the law. If this is beginning to sound like Nazi Germany with its Gestapo, it is no coincidence. While Governor Christie is being raked over the coals about his alleged involvement with the George Washing bridge closing, our current administration is getting away with murder (don’t forget about Benghazi).

I’ve come across three articles in just one day which proves my point. I will provide the link, some quotes and just say a few words about each of them.

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, whose documentary 2016: Obama’s America took a critical look at President Barack Obama, was arrested in New York for allegedly violating campaign-finance laws. Federal authorities accuse D’Souza on trumped-up charges of donating more than is legal to the campaign of  Wendy Long, who ran in 2012 for the U.S.

Conservative activist James O’Keefe is accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration of targeting his group with document requests and a subpoena, claiming the Democratic governor’s recent comments critical of conservatives “aren’t simply words.” O’Keefe, whose Project Veritas is behind a series of hidden-camera investigations against left-leaning groups and causes, made the claims on the heels of the controversy over a recent Cuomo interview. O’Keefe claims that Cuomo’s government is acting on his recent anti-conservative words, revealing that the Department of Labor has hit his office in Westchester County, N.Y., with demands for financial documents for months. He compared it to IRS targeting of conservative groups nationwide.

Finally, the last story I read explains why our credit rating has not gone down despite the worsening economic pit that our government is digging. The Justice Department’s launched a $5 billion fraud case against Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States. This case comes on the heels of recent accusations that former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner threatened S&P with unspecified retribution as punishment for a downgrade of U.S. debt. How ironic.

What is so astonishing about this blog post is that I read all three articles in one day. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

Why Capitalism is Necessary- Milton Friedman

Many condemn Capitalism or chastise its outcomes. Many say that Capitalism is synonymous with greed, inequality and evil. In fact, this message that been parroted across the media and trumpeted from the White House ad nauseam over the past few years.  What is so ironic is that despite America’s success as a world power, the very means that got us there is now being demonized.

Compare the standard of living in any Capitalistic society to other non-Capitalistic run governments. The difference is both striking and appalling. Thus, it is not surprising that as America and other democratic societies embrace more socialistic policies our mean average annual income is dropping, governmental subsidies are rising and the poverty index is at an all time high. Both statistics and history don’t lie. However, no one says it better than Milton Friedman.

Is the Federal Reserve the Modern Day Knights Templar?

First of all, who were the Knights Templar? Were they a figment of author Dan Brown’s imagination or were they a real group? In fact, they were totally authentic and were a military branch of Christian monks who protected Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. With their headquarters at the site of Solomon’s Temple, they thus obtained the name, The Knights Templar.

Besides protecting pilgrims, the Knights made an enormous profit in something called  Usury. Usury was a form of money lending where an initial charge was made for a loan, or interest was charged on the repayments. The increase of the Knights Templar wealth in turn led to becoming involved in banking which in turn brought even greater wealth into the Knights Templar order. Their financial power due to their banking activities led to great political power in all of the countries in Europe of the Middle Ages.

The Knights Templar banking activities increased their financial wealth and political power. Powerful monarchs went to the Knights Templar to obtain loans. This was the case of King Philip IV of France, who was already heavily in debt to the Knights Templar when he requested a further loan to finance a war. Fearing the growing influence of the Knights and their economic stranglehold over Europe, he eventually accused them of being Satanist and forcefully disbanded the group on Friday, October 13 in 1307–thus abolishing his loans.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the Federal Reserve. Who are they? First of all, despite the belief of mostly all Americans, the Feds are a private organization run by private bankers. They provide the government with a ready source of loans and serves as the safe depository for federal monies. The Federal Reserve is also a low-cost mechanism for transferring funds and is an inexpensive agent for meeting payments on the national debt and government salaries.
And the resemblance continues. The Feds, just like the Knights, make enormous sums of money from the money they lend out to the US government. Now, instead of The Knights Templar having financial control over France, the Feds have financial control over the United States.
Let us now learn from history. In order for France to remain financially solvent and keeps it sovereignty, King Philip IV disbanded The Knights Templar. Let us learn from those who came before us and do the dissolve the Federal Reserve before it is too late.

Why People Hate Ron Paul

Did you even wonder why there was such ardent dislike for Ron Paul, or why the media has cast him as some right-wing nut. Most people don’t even know anything about him. Once they hear right-wing, religious or conservative, their mind is made up. Sadly, the same goes thing goes both ways for both parties. However, Ron Paul seems to stand alone in his negative press.
 
So ask yourself this: what does Ron Paul stand for and who are the people who hate him? Let’s run down his supposedly far-right, “crazy” ideas. Ron Paul believes in smaller government, containing/paying off or national debt, abolition of the Federal Reserve, minimizing government interference in business and not being the world’s police force, costing more American lives by the day.
 
Does that sound crazy or does it make complete sense? Honestly, he sounds like our founding fathers. In fact, many of those exact same beliefs were those President George Washington.
 
So who hates him? First, the bankers hate him. Why? Well, because they make money through interest. So it behooves them to make the government bigger and more dependent on loans to maintain its astronomical size. Thus, minimizing America’s spending would be detrimental to their wallets. And who do you think runs the Federal Reserve. No, not our government but private bankers. And since the Feds basically run our monetary system at will, they would lose this control along with the enormous financial perks that are accompanied by it. Now, I’ll give you a hint of where these banker’s money goes. If you guessed progressive political candidates or the media, you would be right.
 
Also a big loser if Ron Paul got into office would be our vast military industrial complex. If we were not waging war across the globe, they would not be making money. Thus, it also behooves them to stand against such candidates as Ron Paul. And you can guess where their money goes. If you guessed peace activist, you would be wrong.
 
Now, with both the bankers and our vast military industrial complexes with the most to lose from a Ron Paul presidency, who do you think is driving the bad press about him? And this is just scratching the surface. Plus, despite D.C.’s financial and moral decay, they want the status quo . A Ron Paul presidency would jeopardize this. Thus, the establishment of both parties see him as a threat.
 
So who supports Ron Paul. Honestly, the people support him. The grass roots are his backers. Why do you think the DC establishment fear him? Why do you think his supporters were targeted by the IRS. Not only does he have the people on his side but he is also the biggest threat the DC establishment has to fear. Go Ron Paul!

Unemployment Numbers a Hoax

Did you ever wonder why it seems as if less and less people are working or are underemployed while the unemployment number continues to drop? It almost doesn’t seem to make sense. With the rise in food stamp usage, decrease in average household income, and increased usage of government services, the numbers don’t add up
I’ve recently read an article which nicely explains this discrepancy. David John Marotta from Forbes states that the actual unemployment rate of those not working is at 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government. He also stated the government isn’t being honest in how it calculates those out of the workforce or inflation, the two numbers used to get the Misery Index figure.
He said, “The unemployment rate only describes people who are currently working or looking for work. Unemployment in its truest definition, meaning the portion of people who do not have any job, is 37.2 percent. This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment. But it does describe how many people are not able to, do not want to or cannot find a way to work. Policies that remove the barriers to employment, thus decreasing this number, are obviously beneficial.”
He went on to state, “Officially-reported unemployment numbers decrease when enough time passes to discourage the unemployed from looking for work. A decrease is not necessarily beneficial; an increase is clearly detrimental.”
Then there is the Misery Index, which is a calculation based in inflation and unemployment, both numbers the duo say are underscored by the government. He said that the Index doesn’t properly calculate how Uncle Sam is propping up the economy with bond purchases and other actions.
Also, he shows how the Misery Index numbers have been skewed by the government. “These tricks, along with a host of other dubious accounting schemes, underreport inflation by about 3 percent,” they wrote, adding that the official inflation rate is just 1.24 percent. Today, the Misery Index would be 7.54 using official numbers,” they wrote. But if calculations tabulating the full national unemployment including discouraged workers, which is 10.2 percent, and the historical method of calculating inflation, which is now 4.5 percent, ‘the current misery index is closer to 14.7, worse even than during the Ford administration.”
        One last interesting observation I made: When the unemployment rate was higher, I had trouble finding the web page that would accurately provide me with the number. However, when I checked today, it was both easy to find and full of great stories about our current administration. Knowing the pitiful poverty numbers, I then went on to search for the Human Poverty Index in the United States. Not only could I not find it on Google, but the first hit I encountered was this endorsement for Obamacare? http://obamacarefacts.com/federal-poverty-level.php. Then when I found some numbers, they were outdated by 2 years?
Can anyone say collusion? However, it does scare me how I could not find this information. Go ahead any try to find it, you’ll hit the same brick walls I came across.

Washington Steals 1.1 trillion Dollars from Americans

No, I’m not trying to be coy with this title. What I’m attempting in a succinct fashion to do is show what the headlines should really read. Instead of reading Senate Passes 1.1 Trillion Dollar Spending Bill, it should read Washington Steals 1.1 trillion Dollars from Americans. Like it or not, it is what happened last week in DC, and any true, honest reporter would have printed it. However, real journalism and the checks-and-balance system set of by the media is dead.

You may ask why I believe that DC robbed us American people 1.1 trillion dollars. The answer is simple. First, no one in the Senate or the House even read the bill. Encompassing 1,582 page, both Houses admittedly had no time to read it, and even if they wanted to read it, there was no time. It is insane to think that our elected officials would spend that much money without even knowing where it is appropriated to. That’s 1.1 trillion dollars of our money spent without even a second thought. It’s like going to a restaurant and writing them a million dollars check for dinner without even seeing the menu- all the while knowing the food really stinks. That’s how insane it is.

I don’t care what your political party is, what happened in the Senate is wrong and proves our government is broken. Yes, broken. If DC ran like a private business, it would have gone out of business in less than a day. Business schools should use the US government as an example to show how not to run a business.

So where did this enormous amount of money go? Well, much of it is going for Obamacare, the American infrastructure and other ear marked social programs. You may naïvely think that sounds good. Well, if you do, you are either schizophrenic or have a very poor memory. You may or may not remember that our last stimulus plan and other Obama-initiated programs throughout his 2 terms have gone the same way. Just look at how well Amtrak is working, how our bridges are so much better, how we revitalized our railways or how many people are doing well with Obamacare. If you finally woke up and realized that none of these things happened with even more money spent, then you will now realize that this 1.1 trillion dollars will be completely wasted. Yes, wasted. Instead of doing any good, it will be squandered and pilfered out to the politicians who voted for it’s cronies- just like the money from our last stimulus package.

Where is the media in all of this? Why is no one reporting the truth? Why does it seem the facts are so easily available, but no one knows them? Why when I ask educated people I know about the 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill, they don’t know what I am talking about or don’t care.

The Constitution can only work with an informed populous and free media. Without both, we can now understand how are government has become so corrupt, incompetent and dishonest without anything being done about it.

The New York Times’ Benghazi Tall Tale

The New York Times’ recently asserted that Al Qaeda had no provable involvement in the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate. Its author,David Kirkpatrick, went on to write that that the attack was fueled by anger at an American-made anti-Islamic video, as the Obama administration first claimed

Not only does this conclusion by The New York Times contradict the overwhelming evidence for a direct involvement by Al Qaeda but it also conflicts with testimony from Greg Hicks, the deputy of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the attack. Hicks described the video as “a non-event in Libya” at that time, and consequently not a significant trigger for the attack.

So why was this article written? In light of the overwhelming facts that have surfaced to the contrary, it almost seems as if this article was not meant for information but for misinformation.

Is The New York Times trying to pave an easier path for a Clinton 2016 victory? Honestly, after reading the true facts about the Benghazi attack, it is the only discernible conclusion that can be drawn. Possibly Kirkpatrick hopes to persuade enough Americans to believe his tall tale or cast enough doubt in others whereby the Benghazi attack will be a nonissue for Clinton’s 2016 run.

What is more disturbing is to believe The New York Times thinks of most Americans as mindless sheep who will trust anything that they write. Do they really see of as a mindless commodity who will blindly follow them regardless of the facts? Honestly, I’m insulted not only for their arrogance towards us Americans but also towards their total neglect in accurate reporting. This article proves only one point: The New York Times has become not a reliable source of news but a progressive propaganda machine.

Scientists create the world’s first glow-in-the-dark PIGS

No, this is no joke nor is it some new book coming out on the market. It is a real story and it results are indisputable. However, after reading the article, I must ask, are we going too far? I understand that mankind’s innate drive is to learn, create and seemingly to be God-like in nature. But we must ask ourselves: just because we can do something, is it right?

The article is a little perturbing in that it acts as if this is a great breakthrough in science. When, in fact, the introduction of genes and gene manipulation is by-far nothing new. We have been successfully placing genes into plants, animals and even humans for many years. Though it seems benign and almost a playful-like experiment, it has far-reaching implications.

Let me backtrack first before continuing with my thought. Our understanding of genetics has changed significantly since the turn of the century. No longer do we believe that one gene creates one protein. In fact, we now know that one gene can possibly produce multiple proteins and even possibly cause DNA within the cell to act differently. For example, the gene is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA can possibly turn on and off different, unintended genes, which will cause different, unintended proteins to be formed. The mRNA then gets transcribed into a protein which can do the same possible thing.

What are the implications of these unintended results? Could these pigs now be inedible. Could the gene manipulation unknowingly unleash a virus hidden in the pig’s DNA. Could the presence of these genetically altered pigs now change the ecosystem?

If one recently read the news, you will recall how China just rejected a shipment of US genetically engineered corn. I don’t blame them. This corn has not been tested for safety. This corn has not been fully tested for any new or toxic changes. This corn has not been fully evaluated for its potential harm it could cause to our ecosystem.

Despite all our knowledge with regard to genetics, we are just scratching the surface. It’s like unraveling a code that took over a billion years to write. Not that I’m saying all gene therapy is bad, but I want you all to think about are the potential consequences of this research.

Free Speech is Dead- Duck Dynasty

Free speech was one of the fundamental principles which made our country both unique and great. The founders of our country deemed it so important that it was placed in the very First Amendment to our great Constitution. And yes, the Constitution is not a myth or a figment our some people’s imagination. Although not followed by our tyrannical president, it was in one day the law of the land.

Though you may think I jest, the First Amendment to the Constitution has been systematically dismantled by the left and forgotten by our liberal media. Instead of the First Amendment, we have the PC police. Though not sanctioned by the Constitution or having any legal jurisdiction, it has become more powerful than the IRS itself.

You see, the PC police has their own agenda- an agenda to which all those who disobey will be marginalized, ridiculed and vehemently attacked. And those that do not follow their rule will meet the same fate- like it or not. Free speech is dead. The democrats who once championed the concept of free speech are now the ones behind this PC agenda.

As a history buff, I find this modern day PC police no different from Hitler’s Gestapo. In fact, the differences between the two dwindle by the day. I do not over-exaggerate. Just think if you want to make a non-PC comment. What do you do? Most say it in a hushed tone or confide in only the closest of friends their true feelings. Some look both ways before whispering their comment. Many have become too afraid to speak their mind and remain silent. Don’t tell me none of you experienced what I have just written.

Just look at Duck Dynasty. A&E has suspended Phil Robertson. And for what reason? The answer is obvious. They fear the PC police.  Also, following like mindless sheep, now Cracker Barrel is pulling Duck Dynasty merchandise from the shelves. And don’t forget Paula Dean. She is yet another of this year’s assault by the PC police.When I grew up people feared an audit by the IRS. Now, the big fear is getting attacked by the PC police. Both A&E and Cracker Barrel folded without even a fight. They conceded their First Amendment rights- the rights our forefathers and soldiers fought so hard for us to have.

Now is not the time to lie down and have our Constitution desecrated. Now is not the time to roll over and concede defeat to the PC police. Now is the time for us to stand up for our constitutional rights and speak our minds. It does not matter if you agree with Phil Robertson or not. However, it does matter if you believe in the First Amendment to our Constitution. Do not stand idly by and watch Duck Dynasty fall. Speak your mind openly and willingly now before we are the last generation of Americans that ever have the chance to do so again!
