YOU Are the Answer

Hey Folks,

I know it's been awhile since my last newsletter, but like you I have been busy with the Holidays and all. I got to meet the "Occupiers", watch the last non-politician drop out of the Presidential race (for good reason), and I became more convinced than ever that we are looking at the World's Neville Chamberlin moment and that we are the best, last defense to a World being lied to. I must advise you that if you are in a Chanukah or Christmas Spirit at the moment you may want to put off reading this newsletter until after Chanukah (Dec. 28), but read it you should.

For Thanksgiving my family and I visited my wife's parents in the Bay Area. My son stayed with his grandparents and my wife and I stayed at a Hotel in San Francisco's Union Square. It was wonderful, we ate great food (drank some good drinks too), bought some nice stuff, saw the great big "Christmas" tree (that's right you San Francisco morons, "Christmas", not holiday) in the middle of the square, and after several Irish style coffees my wife convinced me to go to Macy's on "Black Friday" (what was I thinking?)! while we walked around the city we saw only a few "Occupiers" who were outnumbered by actual "crazy" homeless people (crazy type, not down and out homeless) and while hard to tell apart sometimes, the actual "crazy" homeless were complaining about the "Occupiers" giving them a bad name (no, really). We saw an "Occupy" protest march down Market Street trying to snarl traffic. Their effort was met with profanities and finger waves, the twenty or so protesters, tried standing their ground but it wasn't looking good for them. Those of you who know me are probably thinking I was up in the "Occupiers" faces and educating them on the Free Market, which is what I wanted to do however, I was on vacation and my wife didn't want me to get into any trouble (dang it). Truth is I didn't feel the need to argue with the few idiots that were there. It was ironic to me that the protestors were telling me I was part of them, the 99%, but when looking at the throngs of people on "Black Friday", the 99% were the shoppers and they appeared to be the 1%. The amazing thing to me was how few there actually were. I mean this was San Francisco, the practical birth place of progressive activism and yet I was seeing only groups of 15-20 "Occupiers" at a time and the camp at Justin Herman Plaza had maybe 50-75 tents (smelly area). I found that I was being lied to once again by the media who made it seem as though this "Grass Roots" (George Soros) movement was HUGE, well, not so much from what I saw.

Well, Herman Cain has dropped out of the Presidential race because his character came into question and I am glad that he was vetted better than Obama was vetted however, if this was a GOP hit on the last Non-Politician in the race, well, it wouldn't surprise me. So, what is left? Career Politician Speaker, Representative Dr. Career Politician, Representative Career Politician #2, Representative Career Politician #3, Senator Career Politician, Career Politician Governor #1, Career Politician Governor #2, or the Ambassador to China /Governor #3. Wow, I am not convinced we have a candidate we truly need in the bunch, but any would be better than what we have now. I know a few of the Politicians I referred to claim not to be career politicians, but they are running on their experience as, what, Speaker, Representative, Senator, Governor? I know I paint a bleak picture when I tell it to you this way, but the truth isn't always pretty. I believe as Thomas Jefferson did:

"Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on public offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Do any of you recall Neville Chamberlin of England? He is the Former Chancellor who stated: "My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time...Go home and get a nice quiet sleep", after Talking to the German Fuhrer Adolph Hitler, we all know how that turned out. Those of you who have read my newsletters before know that I take Iran's President at his word when he states he wants to run the Jews into the Sea and eliminate them at any cost. I take him at his word when he states he wants to hasten the return of the 12th Imam, which means causing havoc and bringing Armageddon to the World. Why is it that the leaders of the world do not take this man seriously? Why is it that the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the fall out of the "Arab Spring" seem to not put these leaders on alert? Why is it that World leaders ignore the very writings of the Quran and Hadith that state that "good Muslims" do not take non-Muslims as friends and that they must eliminate all others for the good of Allah? Folks, Islam declared War on the World from its inception, what changed in Islam is that many adherents rejected the barbarism of their past to fit in with the rest of the World, unfortunately many are returning to the old ways and in a religion of over 1 Billion followers, 10-20% (who believe the old ways) is a lot of people and pose a threat to all of us.

Bad news for the Progressive, Atheists is that they actually only comprise about 14% of the World population. Muslims comprise about the same amount. Christians comprise about 28%, People around the World who believe in a Deity or Higher power, 85%. So, knowing this you would think progressive atheists might take it easy on calling people names that believe in a higher power, but they continue to attack and ridicule those of us who are told to love them anyway. Now, for the religion that says to "Smite them in their throats", they defend them and call them the "Religion of Peace", kind of ironic if you think about it. What leaps out at me is what a bunch of hypocritical, cowards these people are, attacking the peaceful ones and coddling the ones who would rather see them dead. The really funny part is that these atheists have made themselves irrelevant in the big picture because whether they believe or not, the Islamists are wanting the stories in the Hadith to be fulfilled for the glory of Allah, their Quran has told them that they will rule the World, and by ignoring this truth, the atheist is choosing his own destruction. America has fought with Islam since our beginning, it is where our Marines received the term "Leathernecks".

Folks, The Middle-East is a hotbed of Islamist thought right now and our President stood behind the Islamist protests and ignored the true Democratic protests in Syria and Iran. Israel had a treaty with Egypt that kept Israel safe for awhile, but now, after "the Arab Spring" those who have openly called for the destruction of the Nation of Israel are taking power and Israel's greatest friend, America, praised the movement that let it happen.


Here is the hard part folks, YOU are the answer to all these issues, yes, YOU. It is YOU that can educate others about the truth of our great Nation. How without us, those seeking a better way of life from the oppression of their home countries, would have had no place to go. I have a friend from Russia, Pauly, who has asked me what is wrong with us. Why are we running toward communism / Socialism when he ran away from it? There are many stories like his. Without America, where will the rest of the World run?

YOU are the ones who can make sure everyone you know gets out to vote. YOU can vote for the candidates that best represent the Constitution and American values. YOU are the ones who decide the future of America.

YOU are the one who can defend your faith and bring back the Freedom of Religion, not freedom from Religion. There is a reason the first amendment talks of Freedom of Speech and the Freedom to exercise ones religion in the same amendment. Think about it, do either statement make you feel you can't say "Merry Christmas" in a public place? How about having to call a Christmas Tree a Holiday Tree? What am I trying to say here? NO MORE MR. CHRISTIAN NICE GUY. We can love our enemies, but we do not have to let them control our "Freedom of Speech" or the "Free Exercise of [our] Religion", these are our rights people, given to us by the Constitution, not the Government or the Progressive Politicians!

YOU are the one who can make sure the enemies of this country are seen for who they are. YOU are the ones who need to elect and support those who see the truth and will act. YOU are the last, great hope of America, no, The World. As I have said before, we are in Historic times, and history does not wait for the timid or the meek. YOU, have the integrity to speak the truth. YOU have the courage to act upon those truths. Do not let it be said of you in the years to come, "so why did you let this happen?", "how could you have been so blind?", "Why didn't you try to stop them?". Make sure you will be proud of your answer.



After the New Year, I will try to get the new "Career Politician list" out onto our website. I will try to update as much as I can to help you learn the truth. Rodney and I wish all of you a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. We hope to see all of you at www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com next year.

Border Patrol vs. U.S. Government

Where has the year gone?

Here we are at Thanksgiving already. There have been many changes throughout the year but unfortunately; some things haven’t changed at all. Word has come down that the debt “Super Committee” has failed to strike a deal to cut $1.2 trillion in budget savings over 10 years. The seven-member committee made up of Senators from both sides of the House said they were fundamentally divided over the ideology of taxation and spending. Ya think? God forbid our elected officials do what we send them to Washington D.C. to do, which is to represent we the people. ARRGH! More on this in another newsletter. Since we all have Thanksgiving plans, this newsletter will be brief.

I want to shed some light on a news story I’ve been somewhat following for a little bit now.

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jesus Diaz Jr. was recently sentenced to 2 years in prison for improperly lifting the arms of a suspected 15year old drug smuggler while handcuffed. The U.S Justice Dept. called this a deprivation of the teenager’s constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force. Now, just to jar your memory a little; this was the case back in 2008 near the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass, Texas; when Diaz and other agents had responded to a report that illegal immigrants had crossed the river with bundles of drugs. This 15year old boy was one of these drug smugglers who were caught. The Mexican Consulate had filed a written complaint just hours after the arrest, claiming the boy had been beaten. Photos of the boy show there were neither bruising to his lower arms or wrists where the handcuffs were placed nor any bruising resulting from an alleged knee to the back. The only bruising on his body where those from the straps of the pack he carried containing the drugs. Diaz’s defense claims the 15yyear old boy was handcuffed because he was uncooperative and resisted the agents. I don’t know why the need to explain why agents handcuffed an illegal immigrant much less one that was caught smuggling drugs into the country. The boy was given immunity for his testimony.

The allegations against Diaz, 31, initially were investigated by Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) office of professional responsibility, which cleared the agent of any wrongdoing. But the internal affairs division at U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled differently nearly a year later and, ultimately, the U.S. Attorney Office for the western district of Texas brought charges. Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council, which seek to educate the public concerning the duties, responsibilities and effectiveness of federal law enforcement officers and operations in national security, said government’s cases was “based on false testimony that is contradicted by the facts.”

The council said other witnesses made contradictory claims and some later admitted to having perjured themselves. Such admissions, the council said were ignored by the court and the government. It also said that probationary agents who claimed to have witnessed the assault raised no objections during alleged incident and failed to notify an on-duty supervisor until hours later. “Instead they went off-duty to a local ‘whataburger’ restaurant, got their stories straight and reported it hours later to an off-duty supervisor at his home, ” the council said. “Then the ‘witnesses’ went back to the station and reported their allegations.” The council also offered an explanation for the suspected smuggler’s admission in court that he suffered no injuries other than sore shoulders. “That was due to the weight of the drug load, approximately 75 pounds he carried across the border.”

Here is the kicker, folks. 2wks ago the family of Jesus Diaz Jr. received a notice by the Justice Dept. demanding payment of the fine of $6,870 imposed by the court that found agent Diaz guilty. “We strongly urge you to pay this debt immediately” said the notice; which was received by Diana Diaz, his wife and also a Border Patrol agent. I would think their service to this country would satisfy this debt.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) CA. sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking that the fine be cancelled. Rep. Hunter also questioned why the Justice Dept. pursued the case against agent Diaz even after two internal reviews cleared him of wrongdoing. I know this must be hard to believe but guess what? No comment from Eric Holder. There it is people, another episode of “Our Tax Dollars at Work!”

Folks, from Mike and myself, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Take time to remember what we should all be thankful for. Join us on our website, thepeopleofliberty.com for valuable news and information.

Until next time,

The Global Revolution

Hey Folks,

Well, the “Global Revolution” is here in the form of smelly, ideologues that aren’t quite sure why they are calling for revolutions but know they want it. They call for an end to capitalism while “tweeting” on their i-phones, and i-pads, sending info about where to meet next on facebook, while sipping on Starbuck’s lattes, the whole time not realizing their hypocrisy, or that they are the useful idiots being sponsored by the likes of the Tides foundation who is supported by the man who has orchestrated and profited from the collapse of the banks of England and Thailand, just to name two of many, who has stated that “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.” ~ George Soros. Those of you, who think all of this will pass, and things will return to normal, don’t kid yourselves! This “Occupy” movement is well funded by the 7th richest man in America and the richest hedge fund manager; you would think the idiots would be protesting this guy, hmmm.

The President himself has shown understanding and sympathy towards these people, which he and his cronies never did with us, the Tea Party. As a matter of fact, Presidential candidate Ron Paul has agreed with and is very sympathetic to the OWS people also and I think he may have ruined his chances with me, um yes he did. I agree with Mr. Paul on many things, but I cannot find myself supporting a man who is sympathetic to Marxists, Maoists, Socialists, or Progressive Liberals who want a more powerful central government. Government is the problem Mr. Paul! I know a lot of you may chide me for what I have said about Mr. Paul here, but think about it. Yes, the banks received bailouts, the bankers got bonuses, and the people got the tax burden, however the OWS crowd is against more than the bailouts, (which, by the way, was done by the government) they are against anyone who is rich. Who defines rich? Is that anyone with more than they have? That could be you! I know people who have less than I do and I know people with more than I do, what does it matter? If I wanted more I would do something else. I enjoy what I do and I am content with my life, these OWS people think they are owed what others have worked for. They believe they are part of a World Revolution that started in Tunisia (and for the big picture they are).

“It is useless to wait for a breakthrough, for the revolution, the nuclear apocalypse or a social movement. To go on waiting is madness. The catastrophe is not coming, it is here. We are already situated within the collapse of a civilization. It is within this reality that we must choose sides.” ~ form the book “The Coming Insurrection” by the Invisible Committee

I hope my Libertarian friends are paying attention to the people their candidate is sympathetic to. They say it’s time to choose sides, they are correct! They want a glorious Revolution, but don’t be fooled; their “Revolution” is not the American Revolution, but closer to the French Revolution. In case you are bit foggy on your history, perhaps this one word will jog it, “Guillotines”!

These Occupy Wall Street people are more than hypocrites, they are plain ole crazy. I don’t know how many of you have seen any footage of these people, but they chant everything their speakers say, even if they are just introducing a new speaker(you can watch here: Rep. Lewis at Occupy Atlanta, , Maoists, ).

“Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.”
~ Thomas Jefferson


As far as hypocrisy goes think about this (besides the opening); many of these protesters are complaining that the banks have screwed them over by putting them in debt for college loans. Who took out the loan? Who set the cost for the courses? Are they going after the colleges that gouged them for with the cost of those courses? No, they go after the bankers who helped them by giving them money they didn’t have to get the education they wanted. Still others are complaining about not having a job, yet they are carrying signs like “Eat the Rich!” (except George Soros). Have you ever received a job from a poor person? All of them talk about greed, yet they all want more money. Hmmm, getting money for doing nothing, maybe my definition of greed is wrong but I don’t think so. They compare themselves to the other protesters around the world (which is part of the overall plan), strange thing though; the other protesters around the world are trying to overthrow their governments (and institute Islamic extremism instead), while these people just want to “Eat the Rich!” and don’t seem to have an issue with their elected leaders. If you see these morons occupying congress or the White House let me know…oh, wait, they already do!

The Socialists, Marxists, Globalists, Anarchists, and other Anti-American groups are frustrated with how slow their President is moving towards the “Change” they all voted for and have decided to take matters into their own hands, or have they? Could it be that the grand plan is to make things so bad that the President has to come in to save the day? Could be.

People, this movement is well funded, but also well thought out. I don’t mean by the useful idiots in the streets, but by the “elite”. Since the ‘60’s these leftist radicals have been planning this. They have written about it, infiltrated our halls of higher education, indoctrinated our youth for decades, they have controlled the conversations through “political correctness” and accusations of racism, they have re-written history and reversed good and evil, and what have you done about it? Folks, we have been known by many names, but the “Silent Majority” sticks out to me. Our silence has allowed us to get to where we are today. We, yes, we allowed them to write, infiltrate, indoctrinate, control, and revise. Were we too nice to speak up, did we not want to cause any tension, were we embarrassed about our beliefs, or were we just too lazy? When this so-called “Global Revolution” is over, win or lose, will you have made a stand or just sat back and watched? When asked by your children and grand-children “what did you do during the Global Revolution?” what will you tell them? Let’s hope it is not from your apartment in the United Socialist States of America.

P.S.- And for my Hacker friend on the island of Reunion...I'm back!

Screwed Again

Hello all,

What a shame it is that common sense thinking people in this country get a label slapped on them. Now, we have heard it many times in the past but once again the tea party members are a bunch of “racists”. That’s right, us members are nothing more than a militant splinter group representing “whitey”. If you listen to the mainstream media, or liberals, all tea party members are good ole southern boys, flying the Confederate rebel flag from their flagpoles. Funny thing happened last week though. Herman Cain won the Republican Presidential straw poll in Florida. Cain has been portrayed in the media as one of the tea party backed Presidential Candidates. Folks, just so you understand, let me review. A black man, from Georgia, won the Republican Presidential straw poll in Florida (a Southern State), and this man was backed by the tea party. I’m having a bit of difficulty connecting the dots that claim the tea party is a bunch of racists. Now wait a minute, it gets more confusing, check this out; fresh off of Herman Cain’s win in Florida, the Congressional Black Caucus was held, where several members described Herman Cain as an “Oreo” (black on the outside white on the inside). Some described him as “someone who needs to find his identity”. What? Now that’s offensive. Who is being racist here? This is 2011 people; color must not be in the forefront. Choose someone who best represents your ideals and visions of our country’s future. Enough said!

Speaking of color let me say a few words about “green”. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about Solyndra. The California solar panel company that has gone belly-up, leaving us taxpayers on the hook for $535 million. The Obama administration gave Solyndra a $535 million loan back in 2009. This was even after several members on the House and Energy Commission warned against it. Under the Bush administration, the Department of Energy rejected Solyndra for a loan in early 2009, worrying that the company didn’t have good long-term prospects. Yet only two months later, Obama’s newly appointed Energy Secretary Steven Chu, announced the government would give the company a $535 million loan, funded with money from the stimulus. Last year, government accountability investigators criticized the white house for scheduling a groundbreaking at a Solyndra plant before the Energy Department had even finished filing the paperwork. At issue are two things. One, emails obtained by the Center for Public Integrity shows that white house officials asked the Department of Energy to make a decision on the Solyndra loan so that they would know weather they could schedule President Obama for a visit to the facility to publicize the loan. Republicans say this is evidence that the white house pressured the Energy Department, or used undue influence, to approve the loan before they knew whether it was a good bet. The second issue is once the loan went through, the administration ignored warning signs that the company was failing and then refinanced the loan in a way that left taxpayers twisting in the wind. A few days before the groundbreaking on the new Solyndra facility in September 2009, a Department of Energy official completed an analysis that concluded the company would run out of cash by September 2011, a forecast that turned out to be right on the mark. But it wasn’t until last February that the government decided that Solyndra was about to default, and refinanced the company’s original loan with the help of $75 million from private investors. As part of the deal, the government agreed that if Solyndra ever went bankrupt, it would have to pay back the $ 75 million to investors first, ahead or disbursing any money to the taxpayers. In other words, we get screwed again. I suspect we will not see that $535 million but I bet the private investors get theirs.

To tip it all off, I heard that the Department of Energy has approved four more solar energy loans worth nearly $5 billion, just hours before the administration’s loan program expired. Common sense would dictate that the administration stop this loan program until it has some sort of safeguard in place to ensure this never happens again. I guess that makes too much damn sense. Rep. Cliff Sterns, R-FLA, Chairman of a House Energy subcommittee had this to say. “In a last minute mad dash to beat the stimulus deadline, DOE (Dept of Energy) rushed out an unprecedented tidal wave of taxpayers dollars- and the question still remains, where are the jobs? American taxpayers are already on the hook for half a billion dollars for the sins of Solyndra. What surprises does the DOE have in store from this rush job?”

All right folks, that’s it. It’s getting late and I have to go outside and take my Confederate flag down from the flagpole. Join us at www.peopleofliberty.com and let Mike and I know what you think.

Until next time

Politics, 9/11, and Islam

Hey Folks,
Well, thanks to an electrical worker in Arizona I missed the inspirational jobs speech from our Commandeer-er and Thief, unfortunately I also had my DVR wiped clean, by the same occurrence, which had the Republican debate I was about to watch on it. So, I will talk only a little bit on those subjects and more about the 10th anniversary of the most heinous act committed against the country I love in the name of a Religion that has genocide and World domination as its goal; Radical Islam.

“Pass it now!” This is the line that has stuck out from Obama’s speech last night. All I can think of is, “Oh boy, here we go again!” I mean really, isn’t this the tactic he used for passing the 1st stimulus, 2nd stimulus, ObamaCare, 3rd stimulus, and the debt ceiling bills? Last year did he not say his administration was going to focus on jobs with “Laser” like intensity? Before that we had to “Pass the bill now”, talking about the stimulus, to keep unemployment from going above 8%. Blah, blah, blah, is all I hear. Did you know that the Senate approved $500billion more to the debt ceiling ( Senate approves $500bil in borrowing )? I suppose that is where the $470billion for the jobs bill will come from considering he said it was already paid for. How is it that the class warfare this President keeps pounding down our throats isn’t paid more attention to by the media? In fact they keep parroting it. Seriously? How much money do these politicians make, get, and pilfer from us? How much are these Career Elitists worth? WAKE UP!!!

“A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors.” Wiki-pedia definition

From what I’ve read, the NBC Republican Debate was a chance for the leftists to try and smash Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. One of the first questions was to Rick Perry asking if he actually thought Social Security was a “Ponzi scheme”. From what I’ve heard Mr. Perry stuck by his assertion and Mitt Romney ran towards the middle saying it wasn’t essentially. Now I am not endorsing either of these gentlemen but, I agree with Mr. Perry by definition. Mr. Romney is a very smart man and I understand he doesn’t want to lose any of the elderly vote so, he is not going to attack their entitlements. Now this is disheartening to me because it shows me where the media is going to take this fight. Straight to fear of losing that which many now rely on. You do understand that the blame is going to fall on us, right? It’s o.k., remember, the more they attack us the deeper under their skin we are getting and from some of the rhetoric I’ve been hearing, we are almost to bone! I mean really, they have video games out to let them kill us vicariously through zombie hunters (by the way, Pepsi and Motorola no longer do business with that company).

One speech you may not have heard was one by Sarah Palin. Her speech was so good that the New York Times even praised her (Palin crosses divide )! In her speech she states: “This is not the capitalism of free men and free markets, of innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk: It’s the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest, to the little guys. It’s a slap in the face to our small business owners, the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting for 70 percent of the jobs in America.” Now what amazes me is that the author of the article, Anand Giridharadas, believes these words are some sort of political breakthrough, ha! If these parrots of this administration would actually do their jobs and listen instead of name calling, they would see that the Tea Party has been saying this all along! If you get a chance, check out her speech here: Sarah Palin, Sept. 3rd Iowa Speech. And no, I am not endorsing her, although she is a great conservative by the looks of it.

September 11th, 2001, the day that changed my life, indeed the life of every American I know. I was at work that day and could only listen to the events unfolding on the radio, very similar to the way Pearl Harbor was listened to by Americans 60 years earlier. I was a Plant Protection Officer at Lockheed in Palmdale at Air Force plant 42. After the second plane hit the towers my partner and I evacuated the site of every employee except us. I remember the eerie silence in the hours afterward. We were stationed at a site that repaired and upgraded F-117’s and we had the Palmdale Air Traffic Control tower just across from where we stood. All air traffic stopped, we were told to be on high alert for the unusual. As we sat there listening to the facts unfold we heard the sound of a jet. My partner and I looked at each other and said “You’ve got to be kidding me!” We called the control tower and after what seemed an eternity they answered and told us that the jet we heard was an F-16 that was there to protect us. I won’t kid you, it was very surreal. It wasn’t until later that evening, and the days that followed, that I saw the carnage, the devastation, but also happy Muslims dancing in the streets of Cairo, Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Gaza, among just a few Islamic states.

I had studied Theology on and off throughout my younger years, but I had never studied Islam. Was it the “religion of peace” every media station in America and the President said it was or was I missing something? Those people dancing in the streets at what had occurred didn’t seem peaceful to me, they were barbarians (or so I thought)! I began informally studying Islam and Arabic, not an easy undertaking. I sought out literature from all sources pro and con, but I knew in order to make sense of it I would have to go to the Qur'an itself. It was very confusing when I tried reading it as I did the Bible, but once I was showed the chronological order, Holy Cow! These people are at war with everyone who is not one of them. They want to kill all of us, at least according to their prophet and the god he served. No wonder those people were dancing, it was a great victory for their god and a step towards Islamic domination, as written in their holy book.

Now I knew some people who claimed to be Muslims, and they were very nice people. They did not rejoice at the deaths on 9/11 and they believed that the hijackers had also hijacked their religion. Unfortunately, according to the Qur'an, the hijackers are following the words of their prophet. It is a bad situation for them to be in, because if they leave Islam, “It will not be tolerated” and they shall be dealt with harshly, according to their prophet.

For the devout followers of Muhammad and Allah there are only two types of people in the world those of Dar-AL-Islam (House of Islam), and Dar-AL-Harb (the House of War). Take a guess where you are if you are not a Muslim. They are also allowed to lie if it advances their cause. This technique is called Taqiyah (Tack-I-ya). They also believe Israel is the Little Satan and that America is the "Great Satan", and you know what they want to do with Israel.

What I am leading to here is that when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, our country showed resolve and banded together and defeated the enemy within 4 years. Where is the resolve we had in the days after 9/11? Why are we continually lied to by the media, and our government officials? We know why our enemies lie to us, because they hate us, is that the reason? We tip toe around anything that might “Upset” “The Religion of Peace” but are quick to stop anything remotely linked to the God of our forefathers. We have gone mad! We have no resolve anymore. It took 6 years to build two towers that came crashing down on 9/11, but how long to rebuild them?

Mayor Bloomberg of New York banned Firefighters and First responders from attending the remembrance on Sunday, instead having their ceremony on the 8th, WHAT THE HELL?!?! What happened on the 8th? Mayor Bloomberg also banned any Religious speeches at the MEMORIAL, how many memorials do you know of where there are no religious speeches? Hey, Bloomberg, it’s a NATIONAL MEMORIAL and the Nation is not amused. Body Tag number 1 was the Fire Depts. Chaplin and yet no mention of Religion is to happen? We have been silenced by the word police of the left once again. Political Correctness has killed this Nation; we were not vigilant enough to protect our first amendment rights.

People, we are at War! No matter how many times they try to quell our anger or tell us we need to be more sensitive, we need to shove the truth right up their noses. If I sound fired up, I am. People, Radical Islam declared war on us, not on September 11th, 2001, but in the 7th century. As Americans, they have been at war with us since our beginning. Does anyone know why Marines are called Leather Necks? It isn’t because of the sun. The Barbary Pirates (Muslims) cut the throats of their enemies. Marines wore leather around their necks to protect them from the “Cutthroats”. They were on the side of the Turks and Germany in W.W. I and sided with Hitler in W.W. II. They are very patient adversaries and each time we get lulled to sleep we end up fighting them again. Truth is an amazing thing.

Now I am not saying every Muslim is a “Cutthroat”, and the ones that aren’t are in severe danger also if not more. Don’t just accuse every Muslim, but demand more from those who are suppose to provide for the common defense. Call our enemies what they are and stop the P.C. B.S.

Folks, I am sorry this was so long and angry but it needed to be said. I am posting some photos of 9/11 and other Islamic atrocities on our site. I will leave them up for a short time because I want children to be able to access our site, but please be aware that they are there for now. www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com

Urgent action required

Hey Folks,

This is an urgent message with immediate action required. Starving Eyes Inc, an “advergaming” company has released an online video game called “Tea Party Zombies Must Die”. The game allows the gamer to use a variety of weapons to kill Tea Party Zombies as well as the likes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and other conservatives. This company and its heinous lack of common sense, needs to be stopped! I have sent letters to some of the major companies that do business with these people; I suggest you do the same A.S.A.P. The companies include:

Motorola
Meow Mix / Del Monte
Pepsi International
Dr. Pepper
Burger King
TLC / Discovery
Comedy Central
Konami
Hotels.com
Fuse TV

I am not calling for a boycott of these companies however, if nothing is done by these companies we should not continue to buy their products. LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!

The following is the e-mail I sent to many of the companies.
Mike




To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Michael Mahoney; I am the founder of thepeopleofliberty.com. Recently an advertising agency of yours, Starving Eyes Inc., released an online game entitled “Tea Party Zombies Must Die”. In the game the gamers are allowed to kill noted conservatives such as Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and of course “Tea Party Zombies”. I haven’t heard of this company before but upon reviewing their games, all of which seem fairly violent, except for “Meow Mix: think like a cat”, I found that your company does business with these people. I would encourage you to cease doing business with them and pull any licenses you may have given to them to promote your product. I will be contacting all the Tea Party organizations regarding this matter and if you continue to do business with this company we will boycott your products and I am sure Mr. Hannity, Mrs. Palin, Mr. Beck, and Bill O’Reilly will be able to give this story a lot of air play.

Tea Party members in general stand behind American companies or others that are responsible players in the capitalistic system and we really don’t want any more companies damaged, but you are known by the company you keep.

Thank You,
Michael Mahoney

El Presidente playing his bass (to his Base)

“The Obama Administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them. The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws to enforce. Administration officials should remember the oath of office they took to uphold the constitution and the laws of the lands” --- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas

Hello all,

I was all set to write to you all about the budget mess and the less than thrilling Republican candidates to choose from. Mike’s last newsletter touched on some of this and I was going to continue the theme. I then saw a headline in the newspaper, DHS Alters Deportation Program. “Oh hell no!” I said. Folks that newsletter will have to wait until some other time. You know what? It seems that the arrogance of this administration is becoming more prevalent. I don’t know what the deal is with the President. He is not a stupid man yet he continues to thumb his nose at the will of the majority of the people. Whether it’s with bailouts, ObamaCare, the budget or in this case illegal immigration. I’ll tell you what; we will have 4 more years of this if no strong Republican candidate comes forward.

Anyway, last week the Obama administration said it would allow many illegal immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay in this country and apply for a work permit. “This will mean a case-by-case review of approximately 300,000 illegal immigrants facing possible deportation in Federal immigration courts”. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in announcing the policy change. She goes on to say this will free up more resources to focus on the worst of the worst criminals. Now I ask you, who the Sam Hill do you think is going to foot the bill for 300,000 case reviews? Simple answer, us. Can you imagine the cost and yes, use of resources to conduct 300,000 case reviews in Federal immigration courts? This would be in addition to the cases that are still pending. 300,000 cases that have already been heard and deportation orders issued. This policy surly circumvents Congress. The administration has created a working group that appears to have the specific purpose of overruling, on a case-by-case basis, immigration courts final order of removal, or preventing that court from even issuing such an order. Can you say backdoor amnesty!

Rep Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said the Obama administration was implementing reforms “against the will of congress and the majority of American people we represent.” “It’s just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way.” “The fact that we have a backlog and prioritize deportation is nothing new. This policy goes a step further granting illegal immigrants a fast-track to gaining a work permit where they will now unfairly compete with more than 9% of Americans who are still looking for jobs.”

I don’t know people. Mike mentioned in his last newsletter about how our country is in trouble. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that illegal immigration is the only reason our country is in a downward spiral, however it is a contributing factor. Also, in fairness I’m not putting the illegal immigration problem solely on the Obama administration. President Bush also had a failed policy on illegal immigration. This issue has been talked about but largely ignored for the last several Presidents. The current Republican Presidential candidates have also done a rug dance around the illegal immigration issue. I wanted to point that out because Mike and I began this group not on an anti Obama platform. Any politician who doesn’t represent the people, who put them in office, is fair game. Now, I would think everyone in America would feel this way but I revert back to the downward spiral we are in. I mean, how sad is it when we have 30 U.S servicemen killed in Afghanistan by being shot down in a helicopter. Front page news for what, one day. Yet British pop singer Amy Winehouse dies of an apparent drug overdose and we are still hearing about that, something’s got to give. I am not against immigration; this is what helped build this country. Illegal immigration, however, is a different subject that needs to be dealt with. I just feel like it’s wrong to reward illegal acts at the expense of tax paying, legal citizens. It’s just wrong to give an entitlement to a group of illegal people, for the sole purpose of politics. The bottom line for all of us should be that our country comes first.

All right people, I’m done. Here’s my question for you. How do you feel about the illegal immigration issue in this country? Am I way off base here? Also, what do you think needs to happen to correct this country’s downward spiral? Join us on our website: thepoeopleofliberty.com for valuable information or to just join in on the blogs.

Wanted: A Real Leader

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Hey Folks,

Well the Iowa Republican debate is over and I don't know about you but I am seriously unimpressed. We are not going to endorse any one candidate; you are smart enough to make up your own mind. I like a lot of the candidates but I do not feel that any of them are what we truly need at this moment in time. Romney and Cain are great businessmen and could most likely turn our economy around, a very good thing, but not the only thing. Michelle Bachman, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Santorum are all very good at talking the Constitutional Conservative line, but on the financial side, hmm. Newt Gingrich, well, talks tough but is he still part of the Republican establishment? Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, a very constitutional libertarian, very wise in all things constitutional, however he reminds me of the late comedian Don Knotts in both demeanor and looks, not very presidential (before you send me angry letters, it is just my opinion). Jon Huntsman was unimpressive but would probably do well with foreign affairs. Rick Perry was absent from the debate but I have some issues with his views on Global Warming and his past relations with liberals (Al Gore for one). Folks, these are not the type of people we are going to need in the coming years, but they are a whole lot better than what we have currently.

I believe in the years to come we need more of a Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, or someone more principled and stronger than they. People, the World is on fire. Riots plague more countries around the World than at any time in history. Economies are collapsing everywhere, the liberal indoctrination has poisoned so many that the minds of the "open minded" are now sealed shut. So many now believe that they are owed that which they have not worked for, and the President who was suppose to be the "Great Uniter" has indeed become the greatest divider.

London's on fire, black youth in Wisconsin attacking white fairgoers, flash mobs looting stores in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington D.C., and Milwaukee, Egypt is still reeling from the "Arab Spring", Syria is still killing it's citizenry, Muammar Qaddafi is still in power in Libya, Yemen is still having problems, Iran is waiting for us to pull out of Iraq so it has a clear road to Israel, as well as continuing its nuclear program. Needless to say the World is extremely volatile and on the verge of collapse. I believe the reason for this (other than our President Obama saying this was a "moment of opportunity" and that he would pledge billions of dollars to it) is that the Free World is without a leader. The President of the United States has been considered the leader of the Free World for decades, until now. If one looks back in history U.S. Presidents have been tested by the enemies of the Free World to see how they would react to threats, to find weaknesses. We have seen it in Korea, Cuba, Viet Nam, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. President Truman was tested by China in Korea and he was found weak but committed. President Kennedy was tested by Russia first during the Cuban Missile Crises and they were turned back. The Chinese then tested President Kennedy in Viet Nam and then Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Once again we were considered weak to the point that President Nixon gave the Chinese a lot of our gold (I wonder what that was about, really). In the late '70s Iran decided to test President Jimmy Carter and most of us know how that turned out (very weak). The Russians tried testing President Ronald Reagan and lost, there were several other tests for Reagan some went well others did not, but overall America was viewed as very strong. George H.W. Bush was tested by Saddam Hussein of Iraq and one of the quickest military victories in history took place, America was still considered a Super Power. President Clinton was tested off and on by Muslim extremists in Somalia, Rwanda, Darfur, and Afghanistan (Taliban took over). He was also tested by Saddam Hussein, and took the side of the Muslims in Bosnia. In the end America was seen as confused, weak, and a "Paper Tiger". George W. Bush was tested by those who thought we were a "Paper Tiger" and we were considered strong, for a moment, it was at this point that the enemy within began to test our own. Our current President was swept into power by those who were working against our efforts to remain strong. President Obama has kept some of the policies of the previous administration (including the ones they fried bush over) but he has withdrawn the U.S. from being "The Leader of the Free World". He went around and apologized for our existence and for fighting for what we believed in. Now we are not considered strong, nor are we considered a leader, we aren't even considered weak, we are considered absent, or at worst, a joke. What we need is a President who can fix this; did you see one in the debate?

When you listen to this Administration and see the actions of it, you can see how the Liberal / Socialist indoctrination of our youth over the last 4 plus decades has taken root and indeed blossomed. What I have always found interesting about these "Zombies" is how closed they are to other opinions other than their own, yet call us closed minded. You can tell what their intentions are by listening to what they are accusing others of, i.e. "the Tea Party is trying to destroy the Country", "the Tea Party is holding the U.S. hostage", "those Tea Partiers are all insane". We’re insane, us? The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, in other words trying to save the country with stimulus, after stimulus without any results is insane! Yet, the indoctrinated continue to want more spending, more austerity measures. They have been taught that what is fair is everyone having the same things without everyone doing the same amount of work to achieve the success of those they envy. They were taught that the Government's job is to insure that they are as well off as those around them regardless of their efforts. The true American legacy was; work hard, keep your nose clean, and you can succeed, people flocked to this country to have this opportunity. Rugged Individualism was our tag line; it was what distinguished us from the rest of the World, but now. Which candidate do you think can reverse this trend?

"United we stand, divided we fall", famous quote that we use in times of trouble, that was before this "Great Uniter", Obama. Uniter = one who unites, so why would one who unites always have blame for someone else? Why would one who unites demonize any group of persons? If you demonize those who create jobs, what do you think happens to the jobs? If you demonize everyday people, who do you think is going to back you? I wonder a lot whether this President is as smart as everyone claimed or if he is as big an idiot as he appears. If he's an idiot, as I hope he is, the damage he is doing may be forgivable. If he is as smart as everyone claims, is the damage he is doing to this country tantamount to treason? Does he want the division so we do fall? Does he want the economic power of the World destroyed so it can be remade into a sick, twisted, Socialist Utopia? Haven't these people seen what history has shown happens with powerful central governments? Have they not heard the warnings of our Founders about powerful governments, or is that the America Obama promised to "Fundamentally Change"?

People, we are in perilous times, we need a leader! Not just any leader, we are in desperate need of the strongest, most principled, most courageous leader who believes in the Constitution and limited government. I hope we find this person soon. Perhaps one will appear out of the current field of candidates or one will just appear out of the blue, but as I have said before, any of these candidates are better than what we have now.

When you are deciding who will get your vote in the primaries, please consider all things and where we need to go. Rodney and I will continue to try to bring you the information you will need to make an informed decision. Follow us on our blog and at www.thePeopleofLiberty.com.

Truth, The Best Disinfectant

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” ~ Sen. Barack Obama (March 2006)

Hello My Fellow “Hobbits” and “Extremists,

I know it’s been awhile since my last post and I apologize. I moved back to Southern California and am currently living at Home Depot (seems like it anyway). But enough of about me, have you heard that we are going to lose are credit rating Aug. 2nd and if congress doesn’t pass a bill Social Security Checks will not be paid? I bet you truly haven’t heard about the initiative that requires Internet Service Providers to keep all user data for one year that the Republicans pushed through committee yesterday? How about the NASA report that states that CO2 is not causing warming and that more heat is expelled into space than was first believed? Well my little Hobbits, as Golem (John McCain) has called us, let us take a closer look at these stories.

The greatest show on Earth is taking place right now in D.C. You have the drama of a looming crisis with the debt limit (do you recall, “never let a crisis go to waste”?), the Theatrics of political rhetoric flying through the air with the greatest of ease, and the clowns trying to pass a bill that has little if any meaning what-so-ever. Moody’s and S&P have both stated that we must have at the very least $4 Trillion in cuts to not be downgraded, yet Democrats and Republicans alike seem to have turned a deaf ear to those who give us our ratings. Can you even believe any of these fools are even serious about it when they haven’t even passed a budget in more than 800 days? Not only is this a sham of monumental proportions, Congress isn’t even speaking the same language as the raters or us. Let me put it to you this way; Let’s say I wanted a $2.8 Million home, I really, really can’t afford it, I don’t have anywhere near enough for a down payment, so I buy a $500,000 home instead. Did I just save myself $2.3 Million? If I were using congressional math I would have. They are not cutting real spending, just what they were thinking about spending. Gee, you would think it would be easy to just say they were planning on spending $21 Trillion and say they compromised and are only going to spend $16.9 Trillion saving $4.1 Trillion, thus saving the World as Nancy Pelosi wants. By the way, the Boehner plan will raise the Debt Ceiling to $16.9 Trillion, which is just a coincidence with my example. Oh, and if August 2nd comes and goes without a bill passing, don’t worry if you are on Social Security, Government doesn’t touch all that money they’ve collected over the years for anything else but Social Security, they promised (uh oh, perhaps you should worry).

Harry Reid called we Tea Partiers Extremists once again, The left won’t leave it alone until they have everyone believing that we are what they want us to be, so Harry, here’s a plan for you; It seems to me that the longer Congress is in session, the more laws against we the people you make, the more freedoms you take, and the more of our money you spend so I say we make the lot of you “Part-Time” employees, cut your salaries and your staffs by 75%, give you term limits of 2, and require you to represent your States and districts instead of the Federal Government and special interests. How much money do you suppose we’d save by doing that? Is that too “Extreme” for you Harry?

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin

In another example of Congress needing to be “Part-Time” employees, a House committee just passed a bill that would require ISP’s to keep all user data for up to a year for law enforcement review if needed. It is called; Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011, sounds good doesn’t it? Well, it assumes that all of us are pornographers because everyone’s information is held not just suspect’s (so much for innocent until proven guilty). I think we should protect our children from predators and sickos, however not at the expense of our privacy. The information that will be held includes bank accounts numbers, addresses, home phone numbers, basically every bit of digital data you send over the ISP server. Wasn’t the CIA computer hacked last month? Hmmm.

“There’s a sucker born every minute” ~ (attributed to) P.T. Barnum

Now as far as the biggest hoax ever pulled on the people of the planet Earth, Gore-bull Warming, NASA has declared that CO2 has far less of an effect on global warming than has been heralded from the rooftops and classrooms around the world (NASA data blows Gaping hole in global warming) . So it appears that the whole global warming debate was not settled as Al Gore stated. Now I wonder if apologies and repeal of frivolous laws and EPA regulations will be forthcoming. I also wonder if they are going to undo the damage they have done to all our children that they have been scarring to death for the past few decades. Apparently the scientist who was responsible for “all the Polar Bears are dying” photos has been suspended or placed on leave under accusations of scientific misconduct (Arctic scientist under investigation) . So why was this sham pulled on us? Shouldn’t someone be held responsible? I doubt this will happen, as a matter of fact you probably won’t even hear about most of it and they will probably continue the lie.

People, seek the truth, know the truth, speak the truth, be the truth, Truth is the best disinfectant against those seeking our demise. We need to hold those responsible for our situation to account. We need to elect those who hold our values and get the entrenched “Career Politicians” out! We will be called many more names before the next election, stand strong, and go forward with the truth and realize that when you are called those terrible things it only means you’re winning because they don’t have the truth.

Out of State vs. Illeagal in State

I know, I know; it’s been awhile, but here I am. So much is going on around our nation, it’s all over the news. Where do I start? Well there’s the Casey Anthony verdict from Florida, sad that a little girl has lost her life. I’m sure someone will be held accountable sooner or later. This is all over the news and talk shows. What about the NFL Lockout? Multi-millionaires who want a larger cut of the “pie” of the multi-billionaire owners. Hey, there’s a movement by a Southern California County Supervisor, who wants to start talks with other Counties to secede from the State of California. They want to form a new state called “South California”, perhaps worth some thought. Wait I know, the Royal Visit. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were here in L.A. The news media followed their motorcade wherever they went.



On a more serious note, folks, there is quite a bit of info that is not being plastered over the airwaves. The Federal budget mess will get worse. I saw President Obama on TV today chastising and taunting Republican Leaders to “eat our peas” and “let’s go.” This topic alone could cover several newsletters but I want to speak about something that has gone down that deserves some attention.



Recently, the US Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a California law that allows illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at the state’s Universities and Colleges. The plaintiffs were students and parents from 19 states who attended or have attended California Universities/Colleges and been required to pay the higher out-of-state tuition. They challenged a 2001 state law, AB540. It specifies that any student, regardless of immigration status, who attends a California high school for at least 3 years and graduates is entitled to in-state tuition fees. The plaintiffs contended that the law improperly circumvents a 1986 Federal law meant to deny such a benefit to illegal immigrants. AB540 essentially grants illegal aliens – which even California concedes cannot live or work lawfully in the state – one of the most lucrative benefits in the country.



Out-of-state students at UC campuses pay more that $22,000 a year more in tuition than that of their in-state counterparts. In CSU campuses, a full-time student from outside the state pays about $11,000 more per year than that of the in-state student. At Community Colleges, fees for full-time in-state students will be $1,080 annually, in contrast to $5, 400 for an out-of-state student. To me, this just seems so wrong. I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something. The State of California is BROKE! Their (politicians) thought process is like the Federal Government; let’s just tax the hell out of the citizens to close the gap in the deficit. But to those who are illegal, well, they get an entitlement. Citizens of this country, if you aren’t from California, you get hosed. But wait, its not just California. There are 19 other states that have similar laws in place, and guess what folks, the Universities and Colleges support these laws to charge the lower tuition to illegal immigrants.



Someone out there help me out. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around this. Someone explain to me how this is allowed to happen? Illegal immigrants aren’t supposed to be here at all, yet they get lower tuition bills. US citizens, who are out-of-state students, get the higher tuition bill. I think at least be fair about this. Charge illegal immigrants the out-of-state rate. This can close the deficit gap in California pretty quick. I’m serious though; if anyone knows anything about this issue, please let us know. I also want to hear your opinions about this. My newsletter question for you is this: How do you feel about illegal immigrants being charged in-state tuition fees, while US citizens, who are not residents of California, get charged 2-3 times more?



Now, don’t worry folks, there will be more information soon in the mainstream media regarding the budget deadline. I hope House Republicans hold their positions. And for all who care, more info on the Royal couple and what they are up to; what they ate for breakfast and so on, and so on.

Can't See The Forest

“Can’t see the forest because of the trees” ~ Old American – English Saying

Hey Folks,

The above quotation is used to say that someone is so focused on the small things that they don’t see the big picture. I am going to get into the “Big Picture” here. Some of you may just dismiss a lot of what I am about to say because I will get into some religious stuff but that’s ok, because as I have said before, it doesn’t matter if you believe or not it is the mind set of millions, if not billions, of people around the world who really don’t care one way or the other what you believe.

Hitler, Nazis, Holocaust, What do these words bring to mind, Hatred, Horror, Evil? Since W.W.II we have continually reminded ourselves we would “Never Again” allow anything like Hitler, the Nazis, or the Holocaust, yet our government has apologized to, given billions of tax payer dollars to, and military aid to those who have called for the same genocide that Hitler and the Nazis called for in their time. Most of us find it appalling that anyone would think that another race of human being did not have a right to exist; does President Obama feel this way? By calling on Israel to go back to its 1967 border President Obama has sided with those who are, as Hitler did, calling for the complete annihilation of the Jewish People. Is this the way you feel, do the Jewish people have a right to live? This is what the next big war will most likely be about. It has been brewing for over one thousand years and will tear this world apart. I know, I know, I am sounding all gloom and doom like Mr. Beck and such but it will likely come down to where we stand on this issue that will determine the camp we fall into. There are more Americans than you think that agree with most of the Muslim world that the Jews are the problem and need to be eliminated. There are even a few Christian Churches that believe this also saying that it was the Jews who killed Christ (this is not true. If any human being could have lived a perfect life, Christ would not have had to come at all, so we all killed him). For those of you who have sided with the Palestinians or Radical Muslims let me refer you back to my newsletter of April 2nd, 2011:

How many of you have heard or believe this: “The Israeli occupation of Palestinian land is the cause of all the trouble in the world”. Do any of you actually know what a Palestinian is? Have you ever heard of a Palestinian Jew or Christian? Did any of you know that there has never, in the history of the World been a Palestinian Nation? The people known to most as Palestinians were actually those who lived in a geographic area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The names this area has had throughout history include: Judea, Syria Palestinia, Southern Syria, Southern Levant, the Land of Israel, Zion, Canaan, and Transjordan. Palestine included Jews, Christians, Arabs, and Muslims all known as Palestinians because of their location not ethnicity.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Middle East was divided up into territories in 1920. The British took control of the area known as the British Mandate of Palestine and ruled there until 1948 when they turned it over to the Israelis. This caused a lot of heartburn for the Muslims in the area since the Israeli’s are primarily Jewish and hated by the Islamic faith. It was from this point in history that the term “Palestinian” changed. The Jordanian, Syrian, and Egyptian Muslims (Arabs) who lived in the area suddenly became known as Palestinians in an ethnic sense. The Arab Muslims have been using this as a point of victim-hood to retrieve land they believe is owed them but on a scarier note to annihilate the hated “little Satan” Israel. I wonder what they want to do to us whom they refer to as the “Great Satan”.

When I was younger, studying prophecies, I listened to some of the prominent scholars of the time saying that “All Nations shall rise against Israel” and thinking to myself, all nations but America. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that America would turn her back on the Jewish people. Now, I am not so sure and I can see where things appear to be leading under our current administration. I am not saying that the prophecies are coming true and that the end is near, quite a few more things have to happen before that time, but it is a very interesting time to be living.

How many of you think that the Jewish people are loved, or even liked, in Europe? When have you ever heard the U.N. say that “the Israeli Defense Force was acting only to protect its people?” Every time I hear news from the U.N. or Europe (and our own Liberal media) about Israel it is in the negative: “The IDF was the Aggressor”, “The Israeli occupation...”, “We condemn the actions taken by Israel”, and so on, and so forth.

Why do we side with the Palestinians when the entire Arab Muslim world is on their side? They are not the underdog here folks, they are Arab Muslims. Would you side with someone who believed a certain race of people didn’t have a right to exist? If you answered yes: please get help now!

President Obama not only told Israel to go back to the 1967 borders but he pledged billions of dollars to those who were dancing in the streets after 9/11 and to those who are calling for the genocide of the Jewish people, why? Out of one side of his mouth President Obama says “the politics of the past need to change”, well the politics of the past was paying money to governments to like us and viola! Here he is giving money to those who hate us thinking it will make them like us, CHANGE? B.S.!!!

The billions of dollars pledged to Pakistan, Egypt, and other unfriendly nations is a slap in the face to every American taxpayer, every American unemployed, and every American child who will end up with an overbearing tax burden because a community organizing college professor

can’t see the forest because of the trees.

Sorry it took so long to get this newsletter out. I am currently in the process of moving back to Southern California and it has been a bit hectic. We are hoping to make some great changes to our web site: www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com , in the coming months. Please check us out.

Welcome to Divided Government?

“A cut is a cut, is it perfect? No. I’d be the first one to admit that it’s flawed. Well, welcome to divided government.” – John Boehner, Speaker of the House, R-Ohio



Hello all,

This is B.S. why are we settling for a “divided government”? The officials we elected should be all for the betterment of our nation. It seems though that all that is important to them is constant campaigning. I’m sick of all of them! Get mad everyone! I’m serious, get mad. It’s one thing to sit and complain but if you’re mad, action should follow. The first thing I’m mad about is the budget.


On Thursday, congress approved $38 Billion in spending cuts, sealing a deal to prevent a government shutdown before plunging into a more far-reaching debate over spending on federal programs and benefits for years to come. This bill, approved by the Senate on Friday, will fund the government through the end of 2011 fiscal year on September 30. This sucks. To me, this isn’t cutting enough. I’m disappointed that more Republicans didn’t vote no. Now, before I’ve said that compromise should take place but damn! I didn’t mean the Republicans should just take the crumbs the Democrats gave them. So what now? What happens as we approach September 30? Another cave by the Republicans? We have sent our elected officials to Washington to do a job. Looks like the same old crap is happening again.


Now, let’s not even begin to talk about our nation’s debt reduction plans. In President Obama’s address at George Washington University on Wednesday, he proposed a 4 trillion dollar long-term deficit reduction over 12 years. He also said spending cuts and higher taxes alike must be part of any deficit reduction plan including an end to Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy. Sounds to me like we are going to be paying more and should expect less from government services I think if we should expect less from the government, then we should pay less. President Obama drew sharp contrast with a Republican plan that cuts around 5.8 trillion in spending over the next 10 years, which the White House says unfairly singles out middle class taxpayers, older adults and the poor. The media ran with this one. Listening to them, Republicans are anti middle class, want to starve the elderly and to hell with poor people. Folks, Obama’s deficit reduction plan is not new. It’s nothing more than regurgitated crap that’s been repackaged. Mike and I have been telling you about this type of stuff for 2 years now. If this budget debate accomplished anything, it shows what a dumbed-down, partisan, media driven nation of spoiled brats we’ve become. When it comes down to the prospect of national bankruptcy, we are apparently more concerned with partisan finger pointing than with solvency.

Something else that makes me mad is this email that was sent out by Marilyn Daveport, a tea party activist and a member of the Central Committee of the Orange County Republican Party. This woman sent an email that depicts a portrait of a man, women and a child. Pictures of apes superimpose the faces of the man and woman. The child’s face is superimposed with President Obama’s face with the ears of an ape. The tagline reads, “Now we know why no birth certificate.” Now Ms. Davevport says it was meant to be a joke but come on folks. Lets not add fuel to the media’s fire. Let’s stop shooting ourselves in the foot. I’ve heard one person say, “It’s ok to dress George W Bush as a Nazi, but let someone display a caricature of President Obama, and it’s racist.” Is this email offensive? To me, yes. However, it’s not a violation of the law to be politically incorrect. Now, failing to salute the American flag, to me is far worse. Two wrongs don’t make a right. We need to be smarter than this, people.

On a positive note, on Friday April 15 I had the pleasure of attending a tea party rally in Oceanside California. There were thousands of folks like you and I letting our voices be heard. It was a wonderful event. A special thanks to the folks at Stop Taxing Us, for putting on the event.

Here and There

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
~ Edmund Burke

Hey Folks,

I am known for being long winded so I am going to do things a bit different with this newsletter. Many of you have told me you want me to focus on domestic issues while others have said they are intrigued by the “Big Picture” foreign affairs: Islamo-Fascism, prophecies and such. Therefore I will attempt to do both and you can read the parts you want to or just go with the whole enchilada (Freedom of choice is a beautiful thing).

Happening Here

Remember the “other hand” analogy Rodney and I are constantly using? How many of you know about the Federal Reserve’s “Discount Window”? Bloomberg reported April 1st that Ben Bernanke has been shielding foreign investors from the stigma of accepting public loans (link1). Foreign Banks have also received money from “The Discount Window”, described in the Bloomberg article by Bradley Keon and Craig Torres as:
The discount window, which began lending in 1914, is the Fed’s primary program for providing cash to banks to help them avert a liquidity squeeze. In an April 2009 speech, Bernanke said that revealing the names of discount-window borrowers “might lead market participants to infer weakness.”
In the 29,000 pages released to them under the Freedom of Information Act, “The Discount Window” lending program “surged to a record” during October 2008. Now what was happening back then? Oh Yeah, TARP! While we were looking for ways to save our economy, our Government and the Fed loaned out over $110 billion, 70% of which went to Foreign Banks! The article states that billions more were being loaned out time after time with names on the list of recipients that are both very familiar, including: Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, and Bank of America. Foreign banks were also on the list, including Dexia SA [Brussels and France], Depfa Bank PLC [Ireland], Societe Generale SA [France], Deutsche Bank [Germany], and Bank of China ; Oh, and did I mention the Bank of Libya?!?! (link2) The Libyan bank, partly owned by the Central Bank of Libya, received 73 loans from the Federal Reserve after Lehman Brothers fell! How much?, Approximately $35 Billion! I wonder where Qaddafi got the money to fight the rebels.

Meanwhile, we have no budget. That’s right, our politicians are quibbling over cuts between $10 billion and $60 billion, which when put into perspective is really like trying to put out a volcano by urinating on it. Here’s the thing though, most of the people in the U.S. know we are in seriously dangerous territory as far as spending and the deficit, and that we are going to have to tighten our belts or lose everything. Many Americans have made the sacrifices in their own lives to deal with personal finances. We elected people we thought would have the moral courage to take on the challenge of putting things back together, where are they? Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are politicizing things by planning on using the “Extreme” option when referring to spending cuts purposed by Republicans and the Tea Party. This option means that they will label all efforts to cut the spending as “Extreme” (link3). I am hearing that a compromise will occur which cuts $33 billion from this year’s budget. That is out of $3 trillion budget, or approximately 1%. This level of budget cuts is not going to save America. I have been hearing democrats say that the “Tea Party wants drastic cuts but doesn’t want Social Security or Medi-Care touched, so it’s basically saying cut, but not my stuff”. Folk’s, as far as I am concerned, everything is on the chopping block; everything, if it saves America. Now I know some of you republicans are going to say “what about Defense spending Mike?” There is a lot of waste in the Defense industry. It is the duty of our Government to protect us against all enemies foreign and domestic but it can be more efficient in doing such. I know my democrat friends are saying “but Mike, why would you get rid of Social Security and Medi-Care? That will kill thousands of children!” Really? We all know that fraud runs rampant in these programs. People, we have got to get serious and have the “adult” conversation about this, our Country depends on it and our “Intellectual Elite” in Washington don’t have the fortitude to tackle the problem because they may find out the problem is them. How’s that for “Extreme” Mr. Schumer?

Happening There

The Kinetic Military Action in Libya has cost us approximately $550 million and the cost of an F-15 fighter jet what have we received in return? Oil at $108 a barrel, $4 a gallon gasoline, and since we announced we were going to pull out our air support, the rebels (possibly Al- Qaeda) want a cease fire (link4). Now this doesn’t tick me off half as much as the total hypocrisy of the whole thing. Senator Obama in 2002 made a statement that he apparently forgot about. In this speech he said this about a madman in the Middle East:
Now let me be clear: I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man, a ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power.... The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States or to his neighbors...and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.
So perhaps Qaddafi was an imminent threat to us or his neighbors, but wait, Defense Secretary Gates said he posed no threat to us but only to his people. Hmm, is it just me or do you remember the left wing nut jobs saying that the reason these Middle Eastern people hate us is because we interfere with their business too much (more on this later)? Why is it that the decision in a Civil War, that poses no threat to the U.S. up to us? I guess it is this administration’s right to decide who lives and who dies (perhaps it’s that Messiah thing).

Think about this for a moment: the entire Middle East is on fire. Each country is having some sort of uprising or rumors of possible uprisings. One country in that region has declared war on the U.S. and has been fighting us by proxy for almost 30 years. President after President has ignored the situation and this country is now poised to become the leading Nation in that part of the World. Why is it that the dissidents in this country receive no assistance from our leaders? If the rebels in this Nation were to overcome the Theocratic Madman who rules there the entire World would be much safer. Now, I am not promoting another war, I am just posing the question as to the reasoning behind Libya and not Iran or Iran’s closest ally Syria. These two Countries pose a threat to U.S. allies, U.S. interests, the freedoms of people living in those countries, and indeed, peace for all mankind. “Wait, what did you say Mike? Peace for all mankind?” That is exactly what I said.

The reason I made such a statement is due to Islamic Prophecy about the Madi or 12th Imam. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes fully that this person is alive and well here now. Whether or not you believe this madman is inconsequential due to that fact that millions of Muslims do. Scary part of all this is that in order for the Imam / Madi to show himself bloodshed and chaos must be occurring. After the Imam / Madi arrives Israel will be obliterated, the world will be under Sharia Law, and the unbeliever’s converted, killed (beheaded is best), or subdued. The Madman will do all he can to accomplish these goals. See, it doesn’t matter if you are religious or not, know prophecy or not, are a liberal, rich, intellectual, or anything else except a “good” Muslim (link5).

How many of you have heard or believe this: “The Israeli occupation of Palestinian land is the cause of all the trouble in the world”. Do any of you actually know what a Palestinian is? Have you ever heard of a Palestinian Jew or Christian? Did any of you know that there has never, in the history of the World been a Palestinian Nation? The people known to most as Palestinians were actually those who lived in a geographic area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The names this area has had throughout history include: Judea, Syria Palestinia, Southern Syria, Southern Levant, the Land of Israel, Zion, Canaan, and Transjordan. Palestine included Jews, Christians, Arabs, and Muslims all known as Palestinians because of their location not ethnicity.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Middle East was divided up into territories in 1920. The British took control of the area known as the British Mandate of Palestine and ruled there until 1948 when they turned it over to the Israelis. This caused a lot of heartburn for the Muslims in the area since the Israeli’s are primarily Jewish and hated by the Islamic faith. It was from this point in history that the term “Palestinian” changed. The Jordanian, Syrian, and Egyptian Muslims (Arabs) who lived in the area suddenly became known as Palestinians in an ethnic sense. The Arab Muslims have been using this as a point of victim-hood to retrieve land they believe is owed them but on a scarier note to annihilate the hated “little Satan” Israel. I wonder what they want to do to us whom they refer to as the “Great Satan”.

When I was younger, studying prophecies, I listened to some of the prominent scholars of the time saying that “All Nations shall rise against Israel” and thinking to myself, all nations but America. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that America would turn her back on the Jewish people. Now, I am not so sure and I can see where things appear to be leading under our current administration. I am not saying that the prophecies are coming true and that the end is near, quite a few more things have to happen before that time, but it is a very interesting time to be living.

In Conclusion

America is not the strongest Nation on Earth because of our Government, it is you, it is us. We as innovators, entrepreneurs, individuals, groups, and even as consumers have made other countries great. We are the ones who have given more to others than any other people on the planet. We are the ones who have improved the quality of life for hundreds of millions of human beings. It is We the People of the United States of America who have given our treasure, blood, sweat, and tears around the globe so that others can have it as good as us. We are a Great Nation! We can do whatever we put our minds to and if that is saving our beloved country from our own politicians, by God We Can Do It.

There are a lot of things going on in our World these days and it is difficult to keep up with everything. Rodney and I try our best to keep you up to date and if we miss something don’t get upset just comment on it, e-mail us, and get it off your chest. We want you to be heard and informed which is why we are trying to revamp our website: www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com. We have added an Islamo-Fascism area where you can actually read the Qur’an in its own words and in order. We also added links to all the reviewed books so you can see other’s comments on Amazon and even purchase them if you wish. Stay informed and don’t give up!

Until Next Time,
Mike

End of Days?

Hello all,

If you believe some folks, the end of days is indeed near; think about it, earthquakes occurring all throughout the ring of fire, the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, massive flooding in Brazil. We have radiation fears as a result of the nuclear crisis in Japan, unrest and protests throughout the Middle East. Killings and slaughters throughout the world and just yesterday, France took military action in Libya before Britain and the U.S. Did you ever imagine that France would take the lead in any military action before us? Well I could write a newsletter about any of these topics by themselves but I will just stick to what’s going on here on the home front.

I actually should say what’s not going on here. Government spending is still out of control. Congress approved and the President signed another emergency spending bill to keep the government running for another 3 weeks. I’m starting to think that perhaps, on the surface, that the government should just shut down. Kudos to the 54 Republicans who voted not to continue with the band-aid budget. The way it’s looking, nothing will get done anyway. I’ll be damned, same crap different day. Republicans are trying to find the one person to challenge President Obama in 2012. More Senate and Congressional seats will also be up for grabs. Both political parties are gearing up. This is being set up for each party to stick to their guns, tout their accomplishments over the other party. Point out why their views are better than the other. While all of this is going on, we little people get the short end of the stick. Neither side wants to appear weak so compromise is out the door. Partisan politics at its best.

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, compared Republicans in congress to people who excuse rapists by blaming their victims. The Vice President, known for speaking his mind and at times putting his foot in his mouth, said “Republicans who want to cut spending while at the same time cutting taxes for the wealthy are similar to rape apologists.” “It’s amazing how these Republicans, whose philosophy threw us into this god-awful hole we’re in, gave us this tremendous deficit we’ve inherited. That they’re now using the very economic conditions they have created, to blame the victim, whether it’s organized labor or ordinary middle class working men and women, it’s bizarre”. You guys know what, this man actually said this; you can’t make this crap up. Inflammatory remarks like this would not encourage me to make compromises either. However, weather you or I like it or not, compromise will have to play a role if we are to get out of this financial mess.

Some folks believe the end of days is upon us. I believe the end of our country, our freedom, may indeed be upon us if our elected officials can’t get their crap together. We the American people demand it. Stop the spending, cut the deficit, and stop the political tango. Put your political ambitions and egos aside and do what the people who put you in these positions demand of you. If this happens, then perhaps we do have a future.

On a side note, everyone please say a prayer for those folks in Japan. We are all human beings and compassion is something they will need for a long time. If you’re not the religious type, a donation to a charity is something I’m sure they will be grateful for.

Join us on our website www.thepoepleofliberty.com, with links to all book reviews, and a new Islamo-Fascism section, speak up on the blogs and discussion boards, there’s also good information available for you to read.

Until next time,
Rodney.

Drives One Crazy

Hey Folks,

Well I don’t know about you but does the World seem to be burning out of control or what? I mean really. Look at the turmoil in the Middle East, the price of oil, Union protests, and the GAO discovering nearly $200 billion in waste from redundant agencies; however, our President is squabbling over $40 - $60 billion over ten years. Seriously, how are we supposed to get through all this with all the bureaucratic B.S. that is floating around? Why is the focus of the “Main Stream Media” on Charlie Sheen and the NFL player’s possibly striking instead of asking the important questions that need to be asked? Drives one crazy sometimes (and if I’m there, let me know).

Ahmandinejad of Iran has stated that the 12th Imam is alive and well and he believes he must hasten the chaos that will bring him forth; the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt believes that the last Mahdi is alive and well and that the new Caliphate is near and here in America, Louis Farrakhan is echoing the same rhetoric. This is what many Muslims in that area of the World believe. The threats from the leaders are real. Iran has been at war with us since 1979 and has been fighting a proxy war with us through Hezbollah in Lebanon and IED’s in Iraq but, we turn a blind eye when the people of that country want to overthrow their Theocracy for Democracy. Then you look at Egypt, the overthrow of a Tyrant is always a good thing, right? If a vacuum occurs the most organized usually fill the void and unfortunately that would be the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and many of the other places that are on fire right now. So why do we sit by and pretend none of this is happening? Is it because it is an uncomfortable place? I bet being a Jew in Germany was pretty uncomfortable in the 1930’s and 40’s. Do any of you recall the poem by Pastor Martin Niemoller:
• "In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
How many of you know that the Mufti (Islamic leader), Hajj Amin al-Husseini, of Jerusalem in WW II sided with Hitler and actually gave him an SS division of Muslim soldiers. Here is one of his speeches:
• “According to the Muslim religion, the defense of your life is a duty which can only be fulfilled by annihilating the Jews. This is your best opportunity to get rid of this dirty race, which has usurped your rights and brought misfortune and destruction on your countries. Kill the Jews, burn their property, destroy their stores, annihilate these base supporters of British imperialism. Your sole hope of salvation lies in annihilating the Jews before they annihilate you.”
These sentiments exist there still today.

Anyone notice the price of gas lately? How couldn’t you? What happened to that campaign a few years back “Drill here, Drill Now”? If our Political Elite were as smart as they want us to think they are, had we drilled here back then we wouldn’t be in as much trouble as we are now. So now we are stuck with our economy in the hands of those who hate us. Think about it, if the rest of the oil producing Nations of the Middle East explode as Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, and the like, our fuel prices could literally double in less than 24 hours. The prices of all our goods will raise accordingly due to transportation costs. This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, how about you? I am so glad that President Obama is “the most intellectual President we’ve had” because I would hate to see what would happen without…oh wait, yeah I would like to see what would happen without him in office.

Now, what I am about to tell you may shock some of you, but I used to be a Senior Shop Steward for the International Association of Machinists and Aeronautical Workers back in the 80’s and was a member in good standing for 13 years. I worked for Lockheed Martin and I was paid very, very well for the work I did and the benefits were out of this world. You don’t think a hammer actually cost Lockheed $500 do you? Most of those costs went to pay for my salary and benefits as well as my co-workers. Did we deserve it? Well that is a matter of perspective I suppose because we sure thought we did. How did I feel about being part of a Union back then? I thought it was great, I mean look how much I was getting paid for what little work… I mean all the hard work I did. What I knew about Unions back then was that they helped keep workers safe and got them good pay for hard work, or at least that was when Unions started. Now when I was a Senior Steward I noticed a lot of things that didn’t sit too well with me. My Job was to go to my manager and lodge complaints that my Union brothers and sisters had with the way things were going. If the manager and I couldn’t come to an agreement it would progress to the next step and the Union would send in a Business Agent to assist me in the negotiations. I fought for some pretty good causes such as people working too much overtime and not being compensated correctly according to our contract and such but I also had to fight for people who didn’t pull their weight or do their job and it seemed to me that the Union fought harder to keep those that shouldn’t be there than for those who did the job regardless of what was going on in the Union. I finally got fed up with the Union when I saw what our Union dues were paying for, Democratic Party fundraisers and candidates, big parties, and a Race Car! I tried to quit the Union but was told I would have to find another job because the contract stated that I had to be a member if I wanted to work there, it was a “closed shop”. I quit my Stewardship and became somewhat of an enemy to the IAMAW when I began looking at it from a taxpayer point of view rather than a Defense Contractor employee. I realized as a taxpayer that Unions were the reason we couldn’t compete with the Japanese (and now Chinese) manufacturers especially their auto companies. I came to the conclusion that Unions only really help those that cannot get a good job on their own merit, are too lazy to find a job they like, or refuse to better themselves to get a job that pays what they want. Now many people belong to Unions who do not fall into those categories due to “closed shops” or whatever, but I believe the basic necessity of Unions is a thing of the past and similar to Social Security, it is one big Ponsi Scheme that is bankrupting our country and our kids’ future.

So, how many of you heard about the GAO finding between $100 billion and $200 billion in overlapping and duplicate spending each year of your tax dollars? This waste should infuriate most of you but I know, “We have other things to think about”, or “what can we do anyway”. We can let those who think that more government is the answer know that it most assuredly is not. Our fight is large and it is going to take us getting involved it to save our Nation or we can sit back and see what happens, right?

Our “4th branch of government” (the Media) is either broken or conspiring against us because they would rather you worry about Charlie Sheen or a NFL players strike instead of the stuff that is going to have an effect on each one of us very soon. What has become our idea of success, wealth? Now don’t get me wrong, if you were to offer me $1 million dollars in exchange for nothing I would probably take it, but I wouldn’t consider myself successful. I tend to believe that the most successful people are those that are happy with who, what, and where they are. Statistics have shown that too many lottery winners aren’t any happier after winning than they were before, but like the Unions, Socialists, Progressives, Liberals, wealthy sports stars and entertainers, they believe money is the answer instead of “the root of all evil”. Which leads me to this question: What happens to a society that reveres its entertainers more than those that keep them safe? Remember the Coliseum of Rome.

Mike
