Are Apocalyptic Events Closing In On Us?

Posted by Mark Sircus on 09 July 2010

After watching some of the videos you will see in this essay, I cried and felt remorse for living on this planet at this particular moment in human history where we all must confront a terrible destiny whose clear outline is taking shape in the Gulf States. Life is hard but about to get exponentially more difficult for just about everyone who is not prepared for what is coming down on us at an accelerating pace. And with the natural laws of synchronicity working fine, as they usually do, we can expect even more surprises than the ones that are already showing up on the radar. Standby for evasive action!

The nation of Mexico is in the midst of a
failed state breakdown into pure chaos.
Jim Willie

The mainstream and of course the government cannot possibly deal honestly with anything that is going on “but there comes a point when the news is so bad that it simply must be presented with some level of comprehensiveness. And that is happening today,” writes The Daily Bell, which also says, “in order to maintain the credibility of mainstream news organizations, a good deal of real information must be reported, both good and bad.”

Well the bad is leaking out all over the place especially in the Gulf of Mexico where perhaps the greatest disaster humanity has ever had to face is taking place. What I have to write about today is not for the faint hearted or for fluff balls who just want everyone to be nice and want serious problems to go away by themselves. Life, as it is being presented to us in 2010, is not for the weak. In fact many of our concepts and defenses are going to be rolled over by events happening on far shores as well by local environments near our homes.

I wish it was the only one great disaster humanity has to face but that is not the case. We have a story of biblical proportions shaping up but centered most strongly in the North American continent where the richest nation on earth goes through her death throws, which will probably be violent ones. What is happening though is happening to the world. One does not have to be a psychic today to see the handwriting on the wall but our resistance to change is paramount to keeping people frozen like dear caught in front of headlights.

We have a nightmarish ecological disaster riding on top of financial and economic disasters meeting up with a violent climate change and global cooling, which is directly threatening world food supplies. Four horsemen are riding in our collective direction and their hoofs are going to crush a great part of humanity. Some people are very happy about that since their goal is to reduce humanity down to about 500 million souls who they will abuse and control. And this speaks nothing of our current wars, the wars that are ominous, or the political and corporate leadership that cannot face any of these threats in an intelligent and compassionate way.

Most people cannot hear the hoofs of the four apocalyptic horsemen coming up the street. The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.” The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times. The third horseman was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place. The fourth horseman is symbolic of death and devastation.

Great Famine

Several recent headlines indicate that food prices will continue their climb upward. These troubling new reports show that agriculture production and stored grains are critically low and experts are predicting food shortages. The very likely possibility of a food shortage scare is rising as crop conditions deteriorate across the world. We are talking big potatoes here so eat up while you can. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) just cut the acreage for corn planting this year by one million from the 88 million projected on March 31, left traders using terms such as “game-changer” and “shocking”. The government report showed one million fewer acres of corn planted this year than earlier projected, and almost 300 million fewer bushels of corn in storage. That’s a lot of food! Now add about 25 million acres under water in Canada and that’s a lot of bellies going to go hungry in the north next winter.

“If the USDA is right, then it turns out we don’t have those big corn surpluses after all, and that leaves the market vulnerable to weather,” said Don Roose, president of US Commodities in West Des Moines.

It’s bad news all around the world. Thailand and Vietnam, the world’s two largest rice exporters, face severe drought conditions that threaten to severely undermine this year’s crops and global supplies. Severe food shortage follows lack of rainfall in Syria. And now crops are being damaged by the toxic rain from the Gulf oil disaster. Mounting evidence suggests that the oil dispersant, Corexit 9500, can phase transition and could be entering clouds to form a toxic rain over the region.

On July 1st Governor Chris Gregoire asked U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to designate 29 counties in Washington as farm disaster areas due to weather-related losses. The damage was the result of extreme weather conditions throughout the spring, including severe cold, high winds and excessive rains. Potato and alfalfa crops were severely damaged after a freezing wind swept through east Idaho in the middle of June. Temperatures dropped to as low as 28 degrees, freezing the crops within minutes. Don’t let the eastern seaboard heat fool you; it’s getting cooler in the world because the Federal Reserve could not figure out a way of extending credit to the sun so it would increase solar output.

The evidence is mounting as one region after another checks in with their disasters – whether too much rain or too little, the cold, toxic pollution destroying a rich sea source of foods in the Gulf or acid oil rain destroying foods on land – that the world will begin to run out of food at the end of 2010 and 2011. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead to mass starvation as initially price will determine availability. In the face of food shortages, life will change dramatically and in a very short period of time. So plant your gardens now! You don’t have to be an end-of-times survivalist to believe that planting and storing food is pragmatic. Everyone with resources can and should design a good food storage and rotation system and buy bulk food as an investment along with creating self-sufficiency.

Toxic Wastelands

The world’s corporations are doing approximately $2.2 trillion worth of damage to the environment every year according to a report commissioned by the U.N. Environment Program and the Principles for Responsible Investment Initiative. The study was carried out by researchers from the London-based consulting firm Trucost, which portends a ghastly story of death, disease and destruction. Part of this toxicity is having an impact on the quality and even quantity of food available on our dinner plates; and this going on year after year is rising up to strike our cells like poisonous snakes.

Armed Robots Will Make Us Behave

Written By: Hank Hyena

Date Published: July 22, 2010

In the future, security guards won't be chubby failed cops getting minimum wage. Instead, they'll be metal death machines that can spray 900 bullets per minute if you're intruding without proper ID.

Robotic sentries are presently patrolling Israel's 70-kilometer Gaza border, and South Korea's 250-kilometer DMZ. Russia has developed a remarkably lethal beast — the MRK-27-BT — touted as superior to the USA's SWORDS in Iraq, and Australia shot into the market with its ferociously-named "Redback Metal Storm."

Border protection is just the beginning job for these brutal 'bots. Additional employment will be found at airports, banks, and all facilities critical to a nation's security: nuclear power plants, oil platforms, military installations, desalination plants, dams, harbors, etc.

Ethicists are concerned about humanity's trend towards letting robots do the killing for us, but enlisting metal soldiers has an economic upside in South Korea. The long border with the hostile hermit North presently requires two human sentries every fifty yards, rotating every two hours. Immense manpower is wasted guarding this hotspot, necessitating SK's mandatory 2-year military service. Far better, I believe, to have the meatbags working for Samsung and Hyundai. Robots also never sleep, eat, freeze, frag superiors, worry their parents, or end up homeless in wheelchairs on the streets.

The military has outgrown bows & arrows, catapults, and cavalry. The next transition will be from "Grunts -To-Geeks" — robots blasting each other while programmers safely manipulate them in air conditioned chambers thousands of miles away.

UFOs – The Revealing!

L.A. Marzulli’s Blog

Commentary & Analysis

by

L. A. Marzulli

(This is the original cover for the third book in the Nephilim series)

Last night, on Acceleration Radio we had as our guest, Alaska, MUFON director. Brent Mitchell. We spent almost two hours – my rant took up the first 20 minutes - on the subject of UFOs, USOs (Unidentified submersible object) cattle mutilations, crop circles, abductions and pretty much everything else we could touch on that is related to the phenomena.

What stood out for me was Mitchell’s claim that the UFO phenomena is changing. Alaska is experiencing large craft, some over one, mile, wide. They are appearing to credible witnesses, who have risked ridicule and their reputation being besmirched, by coming forward. OK, I have to say it and get it over with: UFOs are real, burgeoning and not going away!

Brent and I also discussed the possibility of full disclosure. We both agreed that our government is involved in a massive cover up. I believe that an element in our government, most likely left over from the Truman era, have been deliberately obfuscating information on UFOs for decades. They have also hired professional debunkers and most likely have promulgated disinformation regarding the subject. However, the sightings continue and as I remarked last night, when we start to add up other UFO sightings that are reported to be one mile craft, like the ones seen over the English Channel, Stephenville Texas, and Phoenix Arizona, it becomes unnerving.

Brent made a comment that stuck with me. He said that when professional pilots view these large craft, their first reaction is one of awe, as they are wonder how something that big can fly. Shortly afterward, it turns to fear as they realize that whoever is piloting these craft may not necessarily be benevolent.

At some point in the not-to-distant-future, the phenomena will become self-evident. There will be a revealing and everyone will say something like, “well, we’ve always known they were here, what did you expect!”

I believe that the crafts that are being seen all over the world are not some demonic illusion. I would postulate that the craft are real, that they hide in the depths of our oceans and that they manifest here from the second heaven. I also would point out that the abduction phenomena is real, as is the breeding program. There are modern Nephilim being bred, this point is the central issue as it echoes Yashua’s words, as in the days of Noah… While we can argue this point, the fact remains that cattle are mutilated as well as humans, and this is certainly not a demonic illusion. It is interesting to note that the Fallen One and his cohorts may, in fact, be mimicking the ritual sacrifices that were done in the Temple in Jerusalem, with the cattle mutilations. Is this the reason why all of the blood is drained from the animal?

In closing todays post. The UFO phenomena at present is cloaked in mystery, and surrounded by an enigma. No one knows all the answers and I’m not suggesting that I do. I do believe, however that it is malevolent, demonic, and as Jacque Vallee tells us, these entities are, Messengers of Deception. If I am correct, at some point the trap will spring. The Fallen Ones – think ET here – will appear as both our progenitors, and now, at this critical juncture in our human evolution, our saviours. At this point, when the revealing happens, everything will be self-evident. I will be shouting, it’s a deception! It’s a deception! And most likely, I will be ignored and thought of as a wacko, religious fundamentalist. Please remember the warning, Even the elect would be deceived if that were possible. What is coming is unprecedented!

Pelosi Blocks Oil Spill Investigation

Human Events

by Connie Hair

07/28/2010

The latest version of the CLEAR Act is slated for a floor vote in the House this week as Democrats look for ways to use the Gulf oil spill as a means to pass elements of their unpopular energy agenda.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stripped out authorization for an independent investigation into the Gulf disaster.

The Natural Resources Committee unanimously passed the amendment in committee markup July 14 offered by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) that would establish a bipartisan, independent, National Commission on Outer Continental Shelf Oil Spill Prevention.

Unlike the commission set up by President Obama -- packed only with environmental activists and no petroleum engineers -- the commission unanimously approved by the Natural Resources committee would be comprised of technical experts to study the actual events leading up to the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

Not a single member of the committee voiced opposition at the bill’s markup. The Senate has also approved an independent commission.

“To investigate what went wrong and keep it from happening again, the commission must include members who have expertise in petroleum engineering. The President’s Commission has none,” Cassidy, the amendment’s author, told HUMAN EVENTS after the announcement. “It defies common sense that this amendment passed unanimously in committee, only to be deleted in the Speaker’s office.”

Mainstream Media Helps BP Pretend There's No Oil

Mother Jones

— By Mac McClelland

| Wed Jul. 28, 2010

"WASHINGTON (AFP) – With BP's broken well in the Gulf of Mexico finally capped, the focus shifts to the surface clean-up and the question on everyone's lips is: where is all the oil?"

NEW ORLEANS (Mother Jones) – I don't know who the fuck these everyones are, but I'm happy to help out them, and ABC, and this AFP reporter writing that due to BP's stunningly successful skimming and burning efforts, "the real difficulty now is finding any oil to clean up."

I sent one text message to Bloomberg's Lizzie O'Leary, who's standing on Grand Isle, Louisiana, right now, asking how the beach looks. "Lower part past the barrier untouched with globs of oil that washed up last night," she said. By "untouched," she means by cleanup crews, and that "barrier" she's talking about is the one the press isn't allowed past. I sent another text to Drew Wheelan, who's also in Southwestern Louisiana, doing bird surveys for the American Birding Association, asking him how big the biggest tar mat on Grand Terre—the scene of those now famous horrifying oiled-bird photos—is. "20 feet by 15," he said. "But bigger ones submerged slightly."

If I managed to find that much oil with my BlackBerry without getting dressed or leaving the house, let's hope Thad Allen, who is quoted in the article as saying, "What we're trying to figure out is where is all the oil at and what can we do about it," can locate some more with the staff and craft of the United States Coast Guard at his disposal. As for the reporter's alarmingly unsubstantiated claim that "The beaches should be relatively painless to mop up," I can't even count the number of correspondents down here who've pointed out that digging a finger under the surface of supposedly clean sand turns up crude, or the number of cleanup workers who've said cleanup efforts are strictly cosmetic, or that no matter what they do the contamination just keeps bubbling up.

It's BP's job to whitewash this story and make it easier to indulge the desire to forget about the scope of the devastation, guys. Not the media's.

Climate Weapons: More Than Just a Conspiracy Theory?

14:05 27/07/2010

This story by Andrey Areshev, political scientist, PhD (History), Strateic Culture Foundation expert, was published in International Affairs magazine.

The abnormally hot weather in the central regions of Russia has already caused serious economic damage. It has destroyed crops on roughly 20% of the country's agricultural land lots, the result being that the food prices are clearly set to climb next fall. On top of that, fires are raging over peat lands around Moscow. These days, the majority of forecasts concerning the climate are alarming: droughts, hurricanes, and floods are going to be increasingly frequent and severe. Director of the climate and energy program of the Wildlife Fund A. Kokorin says that the current trend is not a random phenomenon and should not be expected to subside1.

In this particular context, the credibility of projections emanating from the Wildlife Fund, an influential international organization running worldwide operations styled as environment-protection programs, is beyond question2. The reason is that the global warming which is the subject of heated academic (or, occasionally, absolutely unscholarly) debates is not necessarily an uncontrolled process. At least, the incidence of the current anomalously high temperatures exclusively in Russia and some adjacent territories invites alternative explanations.

Back in the 1970ies, Z. Brzezinski invoked in his Between Two Ages the theme of weather control, which he regarded as a form of broader social regulation. No doubt, the heavyweight of the US geopolitical thinking had to take interest not only in the immediate social but also in the potential geopolitical implications of influencing the climate. He was not the only author to probe into the issue but, due to obvious regards, information on the progress in the sphere of climate weaponry is unlikely to spill over secrecy barriers in the foreseeable future.

M. Chossudovsky, an economics professor from the Ottawa University, wrote in 2000 that in part the ongoing climate change could be triggered by the use of new-generation nonlethal weapons. The US is certainly exploring the possibilities of controlling the climate in several regions of the world. The corresponding technology is being developed in the framework of the High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program» (HAARP)3, the objective being to build a potential to launch droughts, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. From the military standpoint, HAARP is supposed to create a novel type of weapons of mass destruction and an instrument of expansionist policy which can be used to selectively destabilize environmental and agricultural systems of target countries4. Technically, the system is known to be a set of sources of electromagnetic radiation affecting the ionosphere. It comprises 360 sources and 180 aerials having the height of 22 meters5. Altogether the station emits 3,600 kW towards the ionosphere, being the world's most powerful system of the kind6. The program opened in 1990, is jointly funded by the US Office of Naval Research and the US Air Force Research Laboratory, and is implemented by several university laboratories.

Far-reaching hypotheses arise naturally in the situation. Venezuelan leader H. Chavez was ridiculed for attributing the Haiti earthquake to the impact of HAARP (http://fondsk.ru/article.php?id=2755) but, for example, similar suspicions crept in following the 2008 earthquake in China's Sichuan province. Moreover, there is evidence that the US climate influence program not only spans a number of countries and regions but is also partially based in space. For instance, the X-37B unmanned vehicle orbited on April 22, 2010 reportedly carries new types of laser weaponry. According to New York Times, the Pentagon rejects any connection between X-37B and whatever combat weapons but recognizes that its purpose is to support ground operations and to handle a number of auxiliary tasks7. The vehicle was built 11 years ago as a part of a NASA program which was taken over by the US Air Force 6 years ago and completely classified8.

Demands to unveil details of the experimental program put into practice in Alaska are voiced both in the US and in several other countries. Russia never joined the chorus, but the impression is that efforts aimed at deliberate climate change are not a myth, and that in the nearest future Russia – together with the rest of the world – will face a new generation of threats. At the moment the climate weapons may be reaching their target capacity and used to provoke droughts, to erase crops, and to induce various anomalous phenomena in certain countries.

Warren Pollock Warns Of Emergency Drug Shortage As EMTs Told To Go To "Alternate Protocols"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/26/2010

Warren Pollock reports on a rather troubling development which we can only attribute to various cost cutting measures by near-bankrupt states, as anything beyond that would be far too macabre even for us. It appears that "several drugs are in severe shortfall, drugs used to treat emergency patients that might be transported by ambulance to emergency rooms, the drugs include heart attack drugs, epinephrine, lidocain, as well as drugs used to treat shock and other conditions. These emergency care drugs are now in shortfall with alternate protocols going out to emergency services in various parts of the nation. This means that if you need emergency services, the drugs you rely upon to save your life may not be there." As WEP asks, "where have these drugs gone? It is unrealistic to suggest that a whole variety of emergency treatment drugs would go missing from the inventory all at the same time, and areas around the country all at the same time." Pollock highlights the states of TN, PA and CA may have already seen the incorporation of the "alternate protocol." Once again, we hope this is merely an interim shortage and not a widespread effort to impair the traditional operation of emergency technicians across the country.

Gold Is Going To Explode!

Bulletin From Steve Quayle site today:

Physical gold which is now available to the Public, is going to become more difficult to acquire in the Sept-November time frame, as the bullion banks' appetite for gold goes "ballistic". Behind the scenes, "stealth" purchases by Russia, China and the Middle East are accelerating as they add huge purchases to their reserves. Ten years ago I stated that Russia would ultimately have a gold-backed Ruble. Everyone laughed and said the Ruble would only be toilet paper. Surprise - guess whose currency is now held in contempt by the bankers and nations of the world.

Russia's announcement last week that the Ruble is going to be gold-backed, coupled with China's announcement that the US is insolvent, bankrupt and broke should set off all the alarms that could ever be given! My Asian sources; who are some of the largest gold traders on the planet are stating that US dollar has a 40% discount behind the scenes.

In other words 1 million US dollars will exchange rate out at 600,000! Remember when the powers that be sell gold future driving down the prices, they do so to acquire their metals at huge profits to them by getting more metals at lower prices resulting in huge daily profits. Anyone wanting to legally acquire large gold and or silver purchases in Asia or Europe for bank storage "overseas" should contact me ASAP (406-586-4840)!

After January 1st (unless it is repealed) you will have a 1099 tax form filed on everything you purchase over $600.00. This will be the end of any financial privacy and freedom. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium will explode in price prior to that time. This is a preemptive move to tax your gains and have every Financial Detail of your life -scrutinized. Expect huge market swings in pricing like none ever before in the metals market. Silver will become every man's coinage and will act as the barter medium of choice for the remaining population, as Mad Max meets the mad money men of the world! ..........................related

Jack-Booted Thugs Terrorizing Law-Abiding Americans

Canada Free Press

By Ron Ewart Monday, July 26, 2010

You can kiss 4th Amendment protections against illegal search and seizure goodbye. Those protections no longer exist. Your home is no longer your castle, it is the government’s domain to do as they will. Jack-booted thugs, and we do mean thugs, can come on your land, come into your home with guns drawn, search your home at will and make a shambles of it, take what they want, write you up for alleged violations, terrorize you and then walk off without a by-your-leave ..... all without the benefit of a warrant, signed by a judge for probable cause of a crime having been committed.

That’s right! It is happening right now in the rural areas of Los Angeles County and it is coming to a county or city you live in, if isn’t there already.

We have predicted for years that if government keeps writing law, after law, after law, eventually people will stop obeying an ever-rising plethora of stupid laws. Government, in response to citizen resistance, will call out the jack-booted thugs, the goon squads, or the equivalent of the Nazi Secret Service, to force you into compliance with the law by fear, intimidation and threat of huge fines and jail sentences for non compliance. We further predicted that in the end, America would become a police state. It appears that it already has.

Los Angeles County, in response to rural non-compliance of environmental ordinances

Los Angeles County, in response to rural non-compliance of environmental ordinances, has formed what they call the “Nuisance Abatement Team”. The enraged locals call it the NAT squad. The name sounds innocuous enough but its name camouflages what it is and does. The County has given the “Team” broad authority to come on your land and force compliance with draconian environmental law, literally at the point of a gun. They are dressed in black swat team clothing with complete police force equipment and they are armed with police side arms and M-15 rapid-fire rifles, tear gas, stun grenades and other armament. The SWAT team arrives at your property, unannounced, in several black SUVs with black tinted windows. You can’t see in, but they can see out. They swarm out of the SUVs and surround your home. In true Nazi from, they are there to strike fear into your hearts and intimidate you by their very presence. If your dog barks at them, they will shoot your dog. You will comply, or else they will make an example out of you and you will pay with fines and jail time! But the good news is, at least they won’t execute you.

“Nuisance Abatement Team”

Los Angeles County has turned what would normally be civil violations, into misdemeanors and higher crimes. Having an in-operable vehicle on your property is a crime and you can be punished with fines and imprisonment if you don’t remove it, within a very short time frame. If you ignore the order to remove it, you are forced to appear in court to defend your alleged crimes. You are guilty until you can prove your innocence, in direct violation of constitutional law. If a neighbor files a complaint with the county that ends in police action against you, you cannot confront the actual accuser in court, because now the accuser is the government. Decisions by the courts are nothing more than rubber stamps of the unconstitutional law they use against you. Their intent is to “purify” the rural areas to city standards and drive you off of your land if they can.

Draconian environmental laws

The basis for these draconian environmental laws was born in the United Nations in June of 1992 at the Rio Conference. Out of the conference came a position paper entitled Agenda 21. 21 stands for Century 21. [check out the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests] The United States signed on to the provisions of Agenda 21 at the conference and President Clinton literally codified it into American law with an Executive Order, without a treaty being debated and ratified by the U. S. Congress, as required by the Constitution. The provisions of Agenda 21, as now written in American law, are unconstitutional, but to our knowledge no one has challenged the ordinances drafted in compliance with Agenda 21, in American courts. Lower courts uphold the environmental protection laws as written, without questioning their constitutionality.

We were contacted by landowners in the Antelope Valley within Los Angeles County and made aware of what was transpiring there with the County’s “Nuisance Abatement Team”. We could not believe what we were hearing, even though we had predicted this very thing would happen years ago. We intend to do more individual stories on what Los Angeles County is doing to the landowners of the rural regions of the county, with their Nuisance Abatement Team, aka “goon” squads. We will also research other such incidents in other counties of America. It is only through the stories of actual people and their suffering, that others can understand the magnitude of the unconstitutional abuse that is taking place in the rural lands of America. It is an all-out assault by our government on a minority of Americans who, by in large, feed the rest of us and a good part of the world. We suggest that you log onto the Antelope Valley website and see for yourself what these brave rural folks are having to endure at the hands of the Los Angeles County “Nuisance Abatement Team”.

Some might think that these events are isolated to Los Angeles County, but they are not. Because of the increase of enforcement of environmental law all across America, many counties and cities are resorting to fear and intimidation with heavy-handed police presence and legal sleight of hand, to subdue the rural population into compliance with environmental ordinances. These tactics have been used by arrogant governments, despots and dictators throughout history on the rural inhabitants, for two reasons. People in big cities are easier to control and are dependent on government. People in rural areas still believe in self-reliance, independence, responsibility ..... and freedom. They don’t want no “cotton pickin’ government messing in their lives. And in America, at least for now, the rural folk own guns. However, if you can control the rural population with fear and intimidation, you can control the seeds of insurrection, civil war, or revolution. Remember, it was the independent farmers of the Colonies that made up the rag tag bunch of irregulars that took on the well-trained British forces in America’s Revolutionary War.

The fact is dependent people won’t bite the hand that feeds them and a tyrannical government is acutely aware of it. In contrast, rural, independent people will fight to the death for freedom. The harder government squeezes them, the greater the likelihood of violence against that government and the government is squeezing rural landowners real hard right now. The government will be directly responsible if spasmodic or pandemic violence is the result of their squeezing.

Democrat: Let's have mandatory national service

Measure orders U.S. citizens to perform duties under Obama for 2 years

July 27, 2010

By Chelsea Schilling
WorldNetDaily

A bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., would reinstate a compulsory military draft during war time and require U.S. citizens not selected for military duty to perform a "national service obligation" – as defined by President Obama – for a minimum of two years.

Rangel introduced the Universal National Service Act, or H.R. 5741 on July 15. The measure was referred to the House Armed Services' Subcommittee on Military Personnel on July 23.

Rangel introduced similar bills in 2003, 2006 and 2007. His current bill does not have a co-sponsor.

Rangel took to the floor of the House to reintroduce HR 5741, stating, "I have introduced legislation to reinstate the draft and to make it permanent during time of war. It is HR 5741, and what this does is to make everyone between the ages of 18 and 42 – whether they're men or women, whether they're straight or gay – to have the opportunity to defend this great country whenever the president truly believes that ournational security is threatened."

According to an announcement released by Rangel's office, the bill provides for:

• A national service obligation – either military or civilian – for every citizen and permanent resident, male and female, of the U.S., aged 18 to 42.

• Persons may inducted to perform military service only if a declaration of war is in effect, or if the president declares a national emergency necessitating the induction of persons to perform military service and immediately informs Congress of the reasons for the declaration.

• Defines "national service" as either military or civilian service as defined by the president that promotes national or homeland security.

• Give the president the authority to establish the numbers of persons to be selected for military service and the means of selection.

• Requires those not selected for military service to perform their national service obligation in a civilian capacity for a period of two years.

• Directs the president to prescribe the regulations necessary to carry out the act.

• Deferments for education are only permitted through completion of high school, to a maximum age of 20.

• Deferments may be made for physical or mental disability, or under claims of conscientious objector.

"What troubles me most about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is the total indifference to the suffering and loss of life among our brave young soldiers on the battlefield," Rep. Rangel said. "The reason is that so few families have a stake in the war which is being fought by other people's children.

"The test for Congress, particularly for those members who support the war, is to require all who enjoy the benefits of our democracy to contribute to the defense of the country. All of America's children should share the risk of being placed in harm's way."

Prison Planet writer Rob Dew referenced the following video posted on YouTube and noted, "This echoes the sentiment of President Obama who asked Congress in February 2009 to send him a bipartisan bill in the spirit ofnational service."

Likewise, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel advocated for similar universal civilian service in a 2006 book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America," he co-authored with Bruce Reed. The following is an excerpt from Pages 61-62 of that book:

As first reported by WND during Obama's presidential campaign, Obama himself called for a "civilian national security force" July 2, 2008, in Colorado Springs, Colo.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Destruction Comes But God Is Our Refuge

The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. —Jeremiah 4:7-9

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; —Psalm 78:49-50

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:35-40

The New American: A Rebirth Of The Old Guard

By Giordano Bruno

Neithercorp Press - 07/26/2010

People no longer believe in the existence of heroes. By heroes, I do not mean synthetic pop culture icons and sports stars, or mass media generated two faced chimera politicians. I do not mean those fraudulent public figures and false idols which are thrust into the establishment limelight and into our collective faces everyday. By heroes, I mean those ordinary men and women throughout the ages who stood firm against extraordinary corruption and overwhelming social evil. I mean those who had the will to risk everything for truth and an honorable tomorrow, often receiving no recognition for their sacrifice. Today, such heroes are considered a distant memory, a mythology from days long since drowned in the tides of history. How we yearn for those tides to turn…

In our modern era, the shadow of elitism appears to have cast across the whole of the world and permeated every facet of this culture. Many Americans have become so overwhelmed in the face of such unrelenting and widespread government and corporate criminality that they have collapsed in on themselves, hiding behind cynicism, narcissism, and nihilism. They see the horrors of modern life as some disturbed comedy designed for their entertainment. They escape into fantasy worlds and chemical dependency in order to numb the shame they feel, the crushing inadequacy of being unable or unwilling to determine their own destiny. They feel like ghosts, hovering through life as insignificant wisps of vapor. Deep down, they know they have failed themselves, but still, they blame everyone else.

However, for every negative force that exists in nature, in physics, and in the psychology of the human mind, there always arises a positive and opposing strength. It is an undeniable law of the universe. I believe it has taken so long for men to rally against the evils of elitism because the elites have taken special care in making sure they could not be easily defined. They have hidden behind organizations, political parties, and money, for decades if not centuries. Good people cannot fight back against an enemy they cannot clearly see, and heroes cannot rise to occasion against an opponent that has no face and no name. Thanks to the efforts of the Liberty Movement, though, the obscurity of elitists and globalists has come to an end, and we now know who the true enemy is.

The next step requires the reformation of the defenders of old. The reinstitution of legitimate American stewardship, founded by the Constitutionalists and free thinkers at the birth of this country. Though there is much to fear in the path our society has recently taken, even now I see a return to clarity and principle. Even now, I can see the rebirth of the Old American Guard.

In this article, we will examine just some of the qualities that distinguish these men and women…

Fighting For Truth In An Age Of Lies

When men first hear the truth of a thing, the unfiltered unfettered truth, their most common and predictable reaction is invariably one of disbelief. A wise man, or even a moderately intelligent one, would expect that new truths will arise from the ashes of dead notions. They would expect that there are vast reaches of knowledge in this world we have yet to tap, and that every once in a while, our previous assumptions on life will be dashed against the rocky shores of reality. However, most people in today’s culture of mental and philosophical “leisure” are not intuitively wise, and in some cases their ability to rationally observe any situation is highly questionable. The truth, for them, is less like an inspirational moment of empowerment, and more like a blood curdling shark attack. For those with a narrow and manipulated world view, the truth is a terrifying threat.

Often, human beings tend to classify truth through “repetition”, instead of through objective observation and evidence. What this means is, we tend to assume that the viewpoint we hear the most everyday must be the correct view, regardless of whether or not it is supported by tangible fact. When new information, correct information based on solid data, breaks into the light of day, those who base their entire world view on repetition will be left in the dust, wondering how everything could change right under their noses. Sometimes, these people cling to their once widely accepted presumptions for the rest of their lives. For them, the Earth is flat forever.

What we have seen in the past decade or so, though, is a great movement towards embracing the truth despite the wailing of the now dying mainstream. Millions of Americans are turning off their televisions and actively seeking out information for themselves through alternative sources outside the influence of corporate globalists. In the “New America” (which is really just the return of the old America), the proliferation of disinformation is UNACCEPTABLE, and will no longer be tolerated. Guardians today are those people who have chosen to stand against our cultural misconceptions and propaganda, facing ridicule, censorship, and even physical harm. They tear into the great lie like attack dogs locking their jaws and never letting go, they are shaken about and beaten and yet they still hold on, until finally, the lie exhausts itself, and fades away. The New American has rediscovered the perseverance of his forebears, and the will to endure.

Nephilim Hybrids – Hiding in Plain Site?

L.A. Marzulli’s Blog

L. A. Marzulli
July 26, 2010

Luk 17:26 “As in the Days of Noah so it will be when the son of man returns… They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

This quote is found in Matthew 24 and it was said almost 2000 years ago as a warning to us living in what I believe are the approaching last days. I would point out that the second line, which tells us that they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage. may not be what most of us would consider obvious. This passage may in fact be amplifying the sin of the fallen angels, not talking about human beings! In other words Yashua/Jesus may be pointing to what the Book of Enoch, Jude, II Peter and other texts tell us, that the fallen angels took wives and married! This is found both in the Genesis 6 account as well as in the Book of Enoch, which renders it almost word for word. The point is that the flood wiped out the Nephilim. In my opinion it was the reason the flood was sent, to destroy the hybrids which had over-run the earth.

So here’s my point for today. We know that the Fallen One, is the power behind the Mystery of Iniquity, which is working to bring about the advent of the Anti Christ. We also are told that when he comes on the scene, he will come with all signs and lying wonders. There is a debate amongst Christian UFO researchers that falls along these lines. Those that believe that UFOs, implants, so-called hybrids, modern Nephilim are all a demonic illusion, and others who think that the phenomena is real, i.e. the abductions, breeding program and hybrids all mirror the events of Genesis 6, and are happening in real-time today.

I embrace the later position. That being said, The Fallen One is not going to tip his hand. He’s not going to show the world his handiwork. He’s not going to reveal what he is doing until the perfect time. I belive this is why we are warned, that even the elect would be deceived if that were possible!

The Fallen One has been planning his last stand for centuries. He is a master strategist and I think many of us underestimate his devious machinations. I would rather err to the side that when he manifests it will be with all the stops pulled out!

If the breeding program is ongoing and the Nephilim hybrids are real, then this would explain the sightings that we are hearing about. In the last several weeks there have been posts in the comment section where people have discussed seeing what they believe are modern Nephilim hybrids. These reports should be taken seriously. Remember a few months back when I Blogged about the Golden Man? This happened to the witness in real-time. It was an unnerving event, and the witness believed that she had seen some sort of Nephilim hybrid.

These stories are appearing to be more frequent. In the Comment section, yesterday a woman came forward and wrote about her experience with what she believed was a hybrid. This is the why I choose to write about this. Here it is for those of you who may have missed it.

“In 1978 after watching the movie ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ as I walked out of the theater I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit tell me ‘that this was just the beginning of these type movies to prepare the masses for the coming deception’. At that time I was backslidden and thought ‘what was that all about?’ I have been into syfy movies for decades now and see the pattern such as ‘knowing,’ being seeded by them. It is great to find others who believe like I do because most think I am crazy. Except a pastor friend of mine in Nigeria who knows this is true too.

Also about 8 years ago at a Waffle House in Tallahassee,Fl. near the FSU Campus, I saw one too. He was very handsome in his late 20′s and began to glare (with his darkened eyes) at me for a long time. As I sat at the table I knew who he was & he knew me too (am back with the Lord – praise God). The Lord told me that the Holy Spirit was holding them back but very soon that they would appear to decieve the masses even the elect. Pray & keep your eyes on Jesus, trust only in Him!” Renea

In closing today’s Blog: What are we to think of these testimonies? As I mentioned at the top of this post, they are becoming more frequent. I believe we are going to see the Nephilim again. They will appear perfectly human but will be demonically enhanced – think Russ Dizdar’s research here. They will appear after the world witnesses a devastating war, most likely in the Middle East. While we can argue about this till the cows come home, I believe that it is folly to underestimate the plans of the Fallen One. When he comes he knows his time is short. It is his last stand. As we are warned, unless those days were shortened, no flesh would survive!

Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima'

By Patrick Cockburn
Tuesday, 27 July 2010

Children in Fallujah who suffer from birth defects which are thought to be linked to weapons used in attacks on the city by US Marines

Dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, which was bombarded by US Marines in 2004, exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study.

Iraqi doctors in Fallujah have complained since 2005 of being overwhelmed by the number of babies with serious birth defects, ranging from a girl born with two heads to paralysis of the lower limbs. They said they were also seeing far more cancers than they did before the battle for Fallujah between US troops and insurgents.

Their claims have been supported by a survey showing a four-fold increase in all cancers and a 12-fold increase in childhood cancer in under-14s. Infant mortality in the city is more than four times higher than in neighbouring Jordan and eight times higher than in Kuwait.

Dr Chris Busby, a visiting professor at the University of Ulster and one of the authors of the survey of 4,800 individuals in Fallujah, said it is difficult to pin down the exact cause of the cancers and birth defects. He added that "to produce an effect like this, some very major mutagenic exposure must have occurred in 2004 when the attacks happened".

US Marines first besieged and bombarded Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad, in April 2004 after four employees of the American security company Blackwater were killed and their bodies burned. After an eight-month stand-off, the Marines stormed the city in November using artillery and aerial bombing against rebel positions. US forces later admitted that they had employed white phosphorus as well as other munitions.

DISARMING AMERICA

By Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret.

June 27, 2010
NewsWithViews.com

A determined campaign is being waged in the United States that is perpetuated by the Godless humanists who endeavor, at the leading of Satan the greatest criminal mind in the Universe, to pave the way to a sheer control of the people and to establish the United States as a constituent of a one-world order.

This campaign is directed at a disarming of the people that they might be deprived of the tools to resist or challenge tyrannical totalitarian governance. But, hold on you might exclaim - this is not a totalitarian state, it is a Constitutional Republic. The heck you say, then how is it that our utilitarian communist president, Barack Obama, has been able to, in eighteen short months, accomplish the expropriation of private capital and industry and to establish a now nearly autonomous dictatorship under his despotic control? How is it that he has been able to assemble what amounts to a communist politburo via the unsanctioned appointments of an assemblage of communist progressives with an ascendancy over the will of the people? This could only take place under a totalitarian system of government.

The United States as one of the last remaining societies where citizens have, by established constitutional law, the right to possess and bear arms must be dealt with by the communist/socialist internationalists if they are to exercise an iron control over the peoples of the world that they might achieve their goal of a one-world system of government.

The right to self-protection in the United States must be disabled to eliminate what the gun-banners perceive to be a bad example of independence that might encourage the peoples of other nations, that have already been effectively disarmed and made compliant to dictatorial rule, to rebel against the suppression that is upon them. This makes plain and comprehensible the interminable meddling into the policies and prerogatives of the United States by the United Nations, that precursor to the satanically controlled and unified economic, political, and religious system of world government that looms on the horizon.

Currently there is an urgent and hysterical drive to exert coercive pressure on the various legislative bodies in this country to enact unconstitutional legislation that prohibits the ownership or possession of legitimate firearms.

ROLLING OUT THE POLITICAL BOSSES

There is a constant and steady drumbeat for the banning of firearms from internationalists such as George Soros the multibillionaire who in reality looks like a caricature drawn by a political cartoonist and multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg the bombastic and irksome pain in the behind who thinks that his money entitles him to inveigh against the prerogatives of independent Americans. These and other politicos of the socialist governments of the larger municipalities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco conspire to seize and destroy the personal property of law-abiding Americans, i.e. their lawfully purchased firearms. Those such as Soros and Bloomberg, because of their media generated false iconicity, lead the way for the lesser personalities and government entities that drag along behind them sucking up the destructive con-trails of these big boys who churn up the air with their political chicanery.

Know this, the gun banners are not married to the Constitution or to the principles thereof. They are socialists and advocates for a totalistic control of the people by the state, and as such they view the Constitution as a tedious obstacle to the implementation of their progressive agenda. These are not indwelled by the truth or a conscience nor are they committed to playing by the rules; they are of a perverse integrity and will exercise every cunning and deceitful device to realize their inimical goals and aspirations.

Like Satan himself, they are patient and will often follow a surreptitious course of taking incremental bites in the consuming of the whole hog.

DO IT INCREMENTALLY

“The only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation…Charles Krauthammer (columnist), ‘Disarm the Citizenry. But Not Yet’ The Washington Post”

Large gun rights organizations such as the NRA, of which I am neither a detractor nor an opponent, too often fall into the cunningly laid traps of the anti-gunners. By negotiating with such and compromising on the immutable principles of the Second Amendment, they play into the hand of the gun-haters and help to enable an incremental chipping away of the integrity and inviolability of the Second Amendment.

By their very involvement with the perverse proponents of gun control they provide credibility to the gun control advocators’ contention that gun ownership is a politically granted right and not an absolute uninfringeable right guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.

When will these who purport to protect the inalienable right of the people to own and bear arms wake up and stand against the political encroachment upon the Second Amendment? There is no mutual ground or area of compromise. Certain rights can never be granted to the government but must be kept in the hands of the people. Mitigating by political barter the inviolate and intrinsic authority of the Second Amendment is unacceptable.

The NRA, and any other gun rights advocate that thinks that the preservation of the Second Amendment can be accomplished through negotiation would do well to remember that when negotiating with a snake they can expect to be bitten.

One must keep in mind that political snakes hate the Constitution and the freedoms that it generates. They especially hate the Bill of Rights, the tattered vestiges of which stand in the way of an absolute control of the people and stymies their endeavors for a long sought worldwide satanic kingdom.

H. R. 5741 – Congress Introduces Bill To Institue Permanent Military Draft For All US Citizens Between 18 And 42

Alexander Higgins Blog

Posted by Alexander Higgins - July 27, 2010 at 4:41 am

The US Congress has introduced a bill, which many are dubbing a “Slavery Bill“, that would require all American citizens to perform 2 years of either military service or civilian service that promotes the national defense related to homeland security.

The bill would effectively establish a permanent national military draft the would require all citizens, male and female, of the United States and its territories to perform the 2 years of the so called “National Service”.

The bill gives the President broad powers such determining the types of civilian services that meet the requirements for the bill and the ability to extend the length of service to maintain the number of citizens performing “National Service” that the President deems necessary.

Other broad powers assigned to the President would include the ability for President to prescribe any regulations necessary to carry out enforce the bill including regulations for induction, compensation, standards of performance levels, penalties for failure to perform service satisfactorily.

The bill suggests that the President follows the procedures for registration, selection, and induction outlined in the existing Military Selective Service Act which would be amended to include women in the act.

Those who object to military service will be required to perform 2 years of noncombatant national civilian service subject to any additional regulations as the President may prescribe for those who object.

This is the latest version of the bill currently available on GovTrack.

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water

Monday, July 26, 2010
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I'm about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from "diverting" water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

Check out this YouTube video of a news report out of Salt Lake City, Utah, about the issue. . . .



It's illegal in Utah to divert rainwater without a valid water right, and Mark Miller of Mark Miller Toyota, found this out the hard way.

After constructing a large rainwater collection system at his new dealership to use for washing new cars, Miller found out that the project was actually an "unlawful diversion of rainwater." Even though it makes logical conservation sense to collect rainwater for this type of use since rain is scarce in Utah, it's still considered a violation of water rights which apparently belong exclusively to Utah's various government bodies.

"Utah's the second driest state in the nation. Our laws probably ought to catch up with that," explained Miller in response to the state's ridiculous rainwater collection ban.

Salt Lake City officials worked out a compromise with Miller and are now permitting him to use "their" rainwater, but the fact that individuals like Miller don't actually own the rainwater that falls on their property is a true indicator of what little freedom we actually have here in the U.S. (Access to the rainwater that falls on your own property seems to be a basic right, wouldn't you agree?)

Outlawing rainwater collection in other states

Utah isn't the only state with rainwater collection bans, either. Colorado and Washington also have rainwater collection restrictions that limit the free use of rainwater, but these restrictions vary among different areas of the states and legislators have passed some laws to help ease the restrictions.

In Colorado, two new laws were recently passed that exempt certain small-scale rainwater collection systems, like the kind people might install on their homes, from collection restrictions.

Prior to the passage of these laws, Douglas County, Colorado, conducted a study on how rainwater collection affects aquifer and groundwater supplies. The study revealed that letting people collect rainwater on their properties actually reduces demand from water facilities and improves conservation.

Personally, I don't think a study was even necessary to come to this obvious conclusion. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that using rainwater instead of tap water is a smart and useful way to conserve this valuable resource, especially in areas like the West where drought is a major concern.

Additionally, the study revealed that only about three percent of Douglas County's precipitation ended up in the streams and rivers that are supposedly being robbed from by rainwater collectors. The other 97 percent either evaporated or seeped into the ground to be used by plants.

This hints at why bureaucrats can't really use the argument that collecting rainwater prevents that water from getting to where it was intended to go. So little of it actually makes it to the final destination that virtually every household could collect many rain barrels worth of rainwater and it would have practically no effect on the amount that ends up in streams and rivers.

It's all about control, really

As long as people remain unaware and uninformed about important issues, the government will continue to chip away at the freedoms we enjoy. The only reason these water restrictions are finally starting to change for the better is because people started to notice and they worked to do something to reverse the law.

Even though these laws restricting water collection have been on the books for more than 100 years in some cases, they're slowly being reversed thanks to efforts by citizens who have decided that enough is enough.

Because if we can't even freely collect the rain that falls all around us, then what, exactly, can we freely do? The rainwater issue highlights a serious overall problem in America today: diminishing freedom and increased government control.

Today, we've basically been reprogrammed to think that we need permission from the government to exercise our inalienable rights, when in fact the government is supposed to derive its power from us. The American Republic was designed so that government would serve the People to protect and uphold freedom and liberty. But increasingly, our own government is restricting people from their rights to engage in commonsense, fundamental actions such as collecting rainwater or buying raw milk from the farmer next door.

Today, we are living under a government that has slowly siphoned off our freedoms, only to occasionally grant us back a few limited ones under the pretense that they're doing us a benevolent favor.

Fight back against enslavement

As long as people believe their rights stem from the government (and not the other way around), they will always be enslaved. And whatever rights and freedoms we think we still have will be quickly eroded by a system of bureaucratic power that seeks only to expand its control.

Because the same argument that's now being used to restrict rainwater collection could, of course, be used to declare that you have no right to the air you breathe, either. After all, governments could declare that air to be somebody else's air, and then they could charge you an "air tax" or an "air royalty" and demand you pay money for every breath that keeps you alive.

Think it couldn't happen? Just give it time. The government already claims it owns your land and house, effectively. If you really think you own your home, just stop paying property taxes and see how long you still "own" it. Your county or city will seize it and then sell it to pay off your "tax debt." That proves who really owns it in the first place... and it's not you!

How about the question of who owns your body? According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark office, U.S. corporations and universities already own 20% of your genetic code. Your own body, they claim, is partially the property of someone else.

So if they own your land, your water and your body, how long before they claim to own your air, your mind and even your soul?

Unless we stand up against this tyranny, it will creep upon us, day after day, until we find ourselves totally enslaved by a world of corporate-government collusion where everything of value is owned by powerful corporations -- all enforced at gunpoint by local law enforcement.

Clash of the Classes: Does Rush Limbaugh Finally Get It?

Infowars.com
July 25, 2010

Rush Limbaugh noted last week that the Republican party as a whole typically behaves as part of the ruling elite.

Last week Rush Limbaugh — mockingly called the leader of the Republican party by limo liberals in the corporate media — talked about Angelo M. Codevilla’s article published in the current issue of The American Spectator, America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution. Codevilla points out something many of us have know for some time — both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House represent the interests of the ruling class.

Following the bankster bailout and the decision by the establishment to stick the American tax payer with cost of fixing the rigged game known as the American financial system, many Republicans and Democrats came around to the realization that indeed the ruling elite are in control of the “political class” that claims to represent us. Both “Republican and Democratic office holders and their retinues show a similar presumption to dominate and fewer differences in tastes, habits, opinions, and sources of income among one another than between both and the rest of the country. They think, look, and act as a class,” writes Codevilla.

Rush Limbaugh noted last week that the Republican party as a whole typically behaves more as a part of the ruling elite than politicians interested in liberty and the founding principles of the republic. “Why do we accept the premise that there must be a health care overhaul?” Limbaugh asked. “Why do we accept the premise that there must be a stimulus package? Why do they set the agenda?” This piece is partially the answer: They’re all part of the ruling class. The Republicans want to be even more accepted in the ruling class. They want to be even more powerful. They want to be considered part of it. They want to be in the clique.”

Amazingly, Rush then said something many in the patriot movement have said for some time now — establishment Republicans are as threatened by the Tea Party movement as Democrats. “So all of you looking at the Tea Party thinking it’s the Republican Party’s salvation, the Republican members of the ruling class are just as threatened by the Tea Party as the Democrats are. Because the Tea Party is outsiders; the Tea Party is not in the big clique; the Tea Party does not want to be in the big clique. The Tea Party wants to wrest power away from the big clique. The problem, and as Mr. Codevilla’s piece points out is, what vehicle does the Tea Party use?” said Limbaugh.

It appears Limbaugh has had himself an epiphany. Let’s hope he continues along this line. The only way to save the country under the current political system is to have millions of Republicans and Democrats defect from the establishment — the ruling elite — parties and vote Republicans and Democrats out of office and replace them with principled independents who are sworn to uphold and follow the Constitution.
