Gotta log off early today. Have a good weekend everyone, may God bless. If you’re in the east coast like usmjam,
have fun shoveling the expected several inches of white fluffy “global warming” that the weatherman has predicted!

From the page: “Ron Paul Questioned Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke Today
Published by Peace Chicken on February 27, 2008 in political.
Ron Paul serves as Ranking Member of the “Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade and Technology”, which equals Helicopter Ben‘s worst nightmare!
“A topic that is on the lips of many people during the past few months, and one with which I have greatly concerned myself, is that of moral hazard. We hear cries from all corners, from politicians, journalists, economists, businessmen, and citizens, clamoring for the federal government to intervene in the economy in order to forestall a calamitous recession.”
Congressman Ron Paul’s Hearing Statement – February 27th, 2008
Ron Paul has repeatedly called for the abolition of the Federal Reserve, the private bank that prints our worthless dollars and is responsible for the inflation of our currency and enslavement of every American.
These videos CLEARLY show that Ron Paul truly understands the economic mess this country is in. It’s pointless to listen to McCain, Hillary, or Obama drone on about health care, gay marriage, or abortion because none of those issues will matter once this country descends into the deep depression towards which it’s heading.
If we want REAL FREEDOM, we MUST free ourselves from the chains of the Federal Reserve, and that will only happen if Ron Paul becomes President.
“Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, middle and working-class Americans have been victimized by a boom-and-bust monetary policy. In addition, most Americans have suffered a steadily eroding purchasing power because of the Federal Reserve’s inflationary policies.”

With the worlds largest retractable roof the Ocean Dome has a permanent blue sky, waves generated hourly creating perfect surf conditions, and its own flame-spitting volcano.

From the page: “
6-Feb-2008 // Today, in light of evidence that a company has been outfitting our nation’s troops with substandard Kevlar helmets, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent a letter to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees requesting an investigation into a Department of Defense $74 million contract awarded to Sioux Manufacturing.
The New York Times reported that Sioux Manufacturing, which makes Kevlar helmets, has agreed to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the company had shortchanged the armor in up to 2.2 million helmets for the military, including helmets used by American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Department of Defense, aware of both the problem with Sioux’s helmets and the company’s efforts to cover it up, awarded another contract to Sioux a mere 12 days before the lawsuit was settled.”

IDP : What We Do
http://www.unrealid.com/what.html
From the page: “Real ID = National ID Card
The REAL ID Act is a national ID card scheme that was passed by Congress back in 2005. It turns drivers licenses into national ID cards. There was no debate whatsoever on REAL ID as it was tacked onto a must-pass appropriations bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
>> Browse the archive of faxes sent to Senators from this site…
Since it was passed, sixteen states have passed legislation rejecting REAL ID, making nation-wide implementation next to impossible.
So what, really, is REAL ID?
* A Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle.
According to Homeland Security’s lowball guesstimates, it’ll cost over 23 billion dollars to create this national ID card system. Almost 8 billion dollars of this will be paid by individual citizens through higher costs to obtain a REAL ID drivers license. Another 14.6 billion dollars for this is to be shouldered by the individual states.
* A Waste of Your Time.
Ready to renew your license? No matter how long you’ve had your drivers license, you’ll have to get ahold of a Social Security Card with your full legal name on it (Married? Better fix your maiden name!), a certified copy of your birth certificate, and a ton of other documents just to renew or replace your license. Don’t have them? That’s your problem.
* A Boon to Criminals and Terrorists.
Once you do go through the trouble of getting your documents together, the DMV will make high-resolution digital copies and put them onto a computer network that can be accessed by any DMV worker, anywhere in the country. The data on your license or ID card will be able to be called-up by any federal or state agency, anywhere. And your information will be put in either a chip or unencrypted barcode on the back, making it easy for anyone to skim your personal information.
With so many databases sharing your information, all it takes is for one breach, anywhere in this massive data collection sharing system, and your information is out in the open, forever.
* A Back-Door National Gun Registry.
There are many states that don’t respect the 2nd Amendment the way we do here in Alaska: gun registration in those states is often tied to drivers licenses. Once these state firearms databases are linked together with existing federal data systems, there begins the national gun registry. All that is then needed is to force all the pro-gun states to comply.
* A Threat to Freedom.
“Your Papers, Please” is not a phrase that sits well will freedom-loving Americans. A national ID card system flies in the face of everything we as Americans believe in. Across the country, the individual states are rising-up and saying ‘no’ to REAL ID. Now is the time for we citizens to stand-up for our fundamental rights and add our voice to the chorus.”

Yeah, seen some of these before But know what? It won’t be the last. And if we don’t stop, it will be Americans subjected to these atrocities.
Its just plain and simple, society as a whole will sink to its lowest level. And this is way beyond low.
