Like a bloodied warrior,
laying broken and torn.

Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.

But the blood, it be green,
the color of money.

And the soldier is an economy,
and it is anything but funny.

Broken are it’s people and shattered are their dreams.

Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.

It is a tragedy with more pain to come.

Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.

Most of the saints are clueless as to what is happening and many saints are voting for obama. My take on the election is thus: If obama wins than the powers that be (the secret combinations ) will take obama’s win as a sygnal that they can now process without interruption with thier take over of our country……….if McCain wins it will be a signal that we are not quite ready for all of thier plans and they need to do more to scare us into giving up our freedoms …….anyway that is my take on the situtation.

I know everyone has an opinion so what do we do now………how do we processe do we just give up and die……aren’t there many things to come to pass yet…..I donot believe the end it yet but I do believe we will be tried.

We need to wake up the other saints. What are you doing in your ward to teach others what is going on?

I commented to a guy at my office that we are officially a communist nation now. His only response was “You really think so?” The comment was not sarcastic, but actually innocent. He isn’t exactly the brightest when it comes to politics/economics.

We have been fed small doses of socialism ever since Teddy Roosevelt. We had HUGE doses during the New Deal with FDR. More and more and more. Each time because of a perceived “emergency”.

Now, we have HUGE numbers of customers essentially bought by the government. They have nationalized the sub-prime market and are now talking about nationlizing the entire banking industry.

Never before in the country’s history have we had this many assets from private industry seized (I mean purchased) by the government in the name of social order. And it was done under threat of martial law!!!

I don’t know what will happen nor how soon it will happen. But it is my belief that just as the first revolution didn’t have a historical precedent, neither will the next one.

The words “No Taxation without Representation” began as a slogan in the period 1763-1776 just before the first American Revolution. The slogan summarized the primary grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies who believed the lack of representation in the British Parliament was an illegal denial of their rights as English citizens. The colonists believed that the laws excessively taxing them for services they did not receive were illegal.

It has become apparent to most Americans that both houses of our Congress, just like the British Parliament of the 1760′s and 1770′s, no longer represents the interests of the American people. Our congress routinely passes legislation that benefits a wide variety of special interest groups at the expense of the average American citizen and taxpayer. Through the use of special interest bribes (I mean campaign contributions), it can now be said that America has the best congress that money can buy.

American taxpayers are seeing their taxes go up at every level of government, oftentimes for services and programs that they do not benefit from, nor approve of. Our local and school taxes are rising at a rate far exceeding any increases in our incomes. The U.S. congress and the Federal Reserve are printing fiat money (backed by nothing) as fast as the printing presses can print it and the American taxpayers are starting to get angry about the increasing burden of taxation placed upon them and they have every right to be angry.

The American taxpayers who live up to their responsibilities and who work hard (often holding two jobs) to pay their bills with less take-home money are:

1. paying for ongoing failed social engineering experiments in housing and education,
2. paying for the funding of anti-American, socialist organizations like LaRaza and ACORN,
3. paying for a variety of services provided to 15 million +/- illegal aliens,
4. paying for the bailout of large international banks,
5. paying for the bailout of Wall Street firms,
6. paying for the bailout of real estate investors and
7. paying for the bailout of people who are unable or unwilling to be responsible adults and who fail to pay their own bills, including their mortgages.

Many American citizens, particularly those who pay taxes, are frustrated by a government that no longer represents them, but rather represents the interests of an oligarchy of about one thousand political and financial elites who exert unconstitutional and illegal control over our government and economy for their personal gain.

The members of this oligarchy are not loyal Americans who have the best interests of the county in mind, but rather they are people who benefit financially or politically by keeping our country in a constant state of war, by dumbing down our education system, by devaluating our currency, by separating us into categories by race and ethnic origin, by drugging 6 million of children with mind altering drugs, by flooding our country with illegal aliens, and by chipping away at our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms and liberties.

I believe that Americans are fast approaching a point of frustration and anger with their own government similar to what the American colonists reached in 1776. They want to take their country and government back from the corrupt political and financial elites who control it. Let’s hope that the second American Revolution that we see on the horizon, is accomplished via the ballot box.

Sorry for the long reply to what might have been a rhetorical question. It really gets my goat when people say, ‘but what _should_ we do?” My answer is always, “Whatever you want, so long as it doesn’t involve coercing others to allay your own fears (or to advance your own agenda).”

Hel 13:31And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them.

I want to take a look back (IMHO) at the milestones of US history that got us here: — For Mark, who thinks that we are all just doom and gloom.

I’ve been told by several individuals that the take over by the Gadiantons really had their beginnings in the early 1800s. I was unable to get much of an explanation of this. Maybe someone in this group could tell me more.

Persecution of the fledgling LDS Church (1830s-1840s)

Compulsory Public Schools (1850s)

The Civil War (1860s)

Teddy Roosevelt (1890s-1900s)

The Federal Reserve (1913) among other atrocities by Woodrow Wilson including WWI (1910s)

Prohibition (1920s)

The New Deal (1930s)

WWII (1940s)

Consumerism (1950s)

Sex, drugs, communism, vietnam, the civil rights movement, Prayer and Bible reading in schools and in government institutions is considered unconstitutional. Medicaid (1960s)

MPAA ratings system, and the downright immiturity of the decade, Roe v. Wade (1970s)

Sex is considered free by mainstream, not just hippies.
Reaganomics, Sex education is mainstream. The 10 commandments is prohibited from being read or displayed in public schools (1980s).

Fall of communism, Bill Clinton, Yemen, 1st WTC bombing, Cosovo, environmentalism takes off like a plague (1990s)

2nd WTC bombing, war on terror, Wall Street Bailout (yes, I’m predicting it will pass). Environmentalism still trumps economics. (2000s).

I need to interject two asides here:

1) Not all of these things were bad. But they were part of an overall pattern that contributed to bad things.

2) This is in no way a complete list, so don’t start making additions just to be complete. But I would appreciate any info on the 1870s and 1880s.

The pattern I noticed was that ever since the Church was firmly on its legs, there has been a tendency away from attacking things to the desire to tug at heart strings to get the public to go along with it.

Each time, there was major public disapproval (last I heard only about 7% of the public approves of this bailout). And each time, it was crammed down our throats anyway — often at the point of a gun.

Each time, it caused major problems for this country.

I thought this government was established to let the “voice of the people” rule.

Now, I’ve already taken a lot of space. But looking at my list, can you see why I began this post with the Hamilton quote?

BTW, Connor–Say hi to Jim Ure.

Clearly you are trying to assert your superiority. Fyi, it’s having the opposite effect.

I know Clumpy, and he is last thing in the world from an “angry white punk.” Please don’t insult him. Argue with reason, not insult. We are the ones providing rational arguments, you are the one hurling insults. That makes our arguments the rational ones, and yours the insulting ones. It isn’t that hard to discern.

And shut up about the snowboard generation, already! I’ve never snowboarded, but I’d rather be a member of that generation than one of the oafish tools that make up whatever group you identify with. You’re a troll and a boring one at that. Address our arguments instead of copying and pasting from your last comment.

Also, what is filet mignon? I’ve grown up on Ramen, so I don’t even know what that is…

My parents never gave me a credit card, let alone one with an unlimited credit line.

(And I’ve never owned a snowboard, either.)

I’ve never had a snowboard.

Fratto insisted that the plan was not slapped together and had been drawn up as a contingency over previous months and weeks by administration officials. He acknowledged lawmakers were getting only days to peruse it, but he said this should be enough.

It has been longer than a year. I remind you of the passage of the original PATRIOT act. This piece of 800+ pages of legislation passed almost unanimously within 5 weeks of 9/11. No Congressperson had a chance to read it. (Nor could anyone humanly even read 800+ pages within the evening before they were required to vote upon it). So, where did these 800+ pages even come from? Who wrote it? Logic tells you these 800+ pages were sitting in some secret file months or years before 9/11, waiting for just the right moment to foist it upon us. This is an example of what the “Shadow Government” does behind the scenes.

I suspect that if you tried to find out who wrote this piece of legislation on the $700 billion CEO bailout, you’d find complete secrecy behind the authorship. Then, they are using the scare tactics similar to the original 9-11/Patriot Act scenario to hype up propaganda to get us to pass another pre-written piece of legislation that in the end is only going to strengthen government’s authority over our rights (which are fast becoming a thing of the past).
