From the page: “Snopes.com is a Scam  

For the past few years www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or  others have  labeled it, as the ‘tell all final word’ on any comment, claim and email.   But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind  snopes.com.  Only recently  did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it – kinda  makes you wonder what they were hiding.  Well, finally we know. It  is run  by a husband and wife team – that’s right, no big office of investigators  and researchers, no team of lawyers.  It’s just a mom-and-pop  operation  that  began as a hobby.“

Already said best by:

teripiper rated 5 hours agopolitics, political-hard-ball, economic-santions, economic-pressure Now that our government cannot seem to pass a bill past the people that allows them to control our health care, they decided to go about it another way.

Instead they will place a tax on the insurers, or providers of coverage. That way the cost will trickle down to the consumer. They will blackmail us into what they want by causing even higher health care costs. That way they can surely justify their health care plan for us then.

They all know that all the costs, plus a healthy profit, trickle down to the consumer (aka ‘the people’). We are the ones who pay for it all.

We support each other and them to boot. Everyone above us makes their living off us one way or another. No matter if your business is small or large.

The little guy is the one who takes the hits. He does the labor that produces it all. Then he spends his hard-earned, meager dollars to buy all the goods and services.

Even those in the middle are making it off the little guy. The government, the top of the ladder, takes their cut off the top without our direct consent. They take out of our paychecks before we ever get them.

So, if they can make health care so expensive that nobody, even the middle guy, can afford to justify the cost, then they will be able to easily pass their government health care plan on the public without resistence.

It’s sort of like U.N. sanctions, only national. In fact, it’s exactly like that.

U.S. Missile Shield Plans: Retreat Or Advance?

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=15264

FROM THE INTELL: \”Much of the world, then, was relieved to read the news that the U.S. was reversing course and renouncing designs to base missile shield facilities in Eastern Europe.

What Washington has stated, though, is not so straightforward.

President Obama\’s statement began with \”President Bush was right that Iran\’s ballistic missile program poses a significant threat. And that\’s why I\’m committed to deploying strong missile defense systems which are adaptable to the threats of the 21st century.\”

The second sentence confirms the position on so-called missile defense that his administration has repeatedly and unswervingly voiced since coming to power in January: A global interceptor missile system will be deployed when and exactly where it is proven to be most capable of achieving its purpose and in the most cost-effective manner. In American vernacular, the White House and the Pentagon want more bang for the buck.

The underlying motive for a universal interceptor missile system – based on land, at sea, in the air and in space – is to secure uncontested American international military superiority by making itself and key allies impenetrable to retaliation by nations like Russia and China.

Obama also said, \”I have approved the unanimous recommendations of my Secretary of Defense and my Joint Chiefs of Staff to strengthen America\’s defenses against ballistic missile attack. This new approach will provide capabilities sooner, build on proven systems, and offer greater defenses against the threat of missile attack than the 2007 European missile defense program.\”

There is nothing equivocal about that pledge. Obama is promising a missile shield system not only more effective but more ambitious than the one he has rejected.

The major drawback of ground-based missiles in Poland is that they would be fixed-site deployments. For several years now Russia has warned that it was prepared to base Iskander theater ballistic missiles in its Kaliningrad region, which borders Poland, should Washington deploy its missiles to that nation.

Obama and his defense secretary Robert Gates have suggested a more mobile, less detectable system that cannot be as easily monitored and if need be neutralized.

The American president boasted that \”we have made specific and proven advances in our missile defense technology, particularly with regard to land- and sea-based interceptors and the sensors that support them. Our new approach will, therefore, deploy technologies that are proven [and] do so sooner than the previous program.\” That is, he proposed an alternative that in no manner indicates a retreat from his predecessor\’s plan.

Perhaps quite the contrary, as he announced a \”new missile defense architecture in Europe [that] will provide stronger, smarter, and swifter defenses of American forces and America\’s allies. It is more comprehensive than the previous program; it deploys capabilities that are proven and cost-effective; and it sustains and builds upon our commitment to protect the U.S. homeland against long-range ballistic missile threats; and it ensures and enhances the protection of all our NATO allies.\”

The last eleven words are key to understanding why the U.S. is preparing to abandon bilateral arrangements with Poland and the Czech Republic. The shift in policy is one of emphasis and not essence and portends the expansion and not the constriction of missile deployment plans in Europe.

The following words of Obama\’s clarify the situation yet further:

\”This approach is also consistent with NATO missile – NATO\’s missile defense efforts and provides opportunities for enhanced international collaboration going forward. We will continue to work cooperatively with our close friends and allies, the Czech Republic and Poland….Together we are committed to a broad range of cooperative efforts to strengthen our collective defense, and we are bound by the solemn commitment of NATO\’s Article V that an attack on one is an attack on all.\”

Missing Nukes: Treason of the Highest Order

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7158

Prior to the Missing Nukes Incident, Minot Airmen Meet with the President and the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff

On June 15, 2007, George W. Bush Jr. met senior officers from U.S.A.F. Base Minot at U.S.A.F. Base McConnell in Wichita, Kansas during a visit to Boeing’s Integrated Defense Systems facility. Amongst them was Major Daniel Giacomazza of the 5th Operational Support Squadron. 

Senator Patrick Roberts of Kansas was also present. “While he chaired the Senate Intelligence Committe from 2002 to 2007, [Senator] Roberts stonewalled attempts to investigate everything from the manipulation of intelligence in the rush to war in Iraq, President Bush’s warrantless wiretaps, and even allegations of the use of torture by the CIA,” according to Associated Press (AP) reports. [30] The same report also indicates that the U.S. President was in Wichita for a political fundraiser, and stopped at a new Boys and Girls Club of America to defray the costs of getting to Wichita via Air Force One for Senator Roberts’ campaign.

Military sources have reported that a B-52H Stratofortress was flown to Wichita so that Boeing’s engineers could take a look in order to make adjustments to the war planes for a new military program. [31] Nothing has been reported about any private meetings between President Bush Jr. or any of his presidential staff and the personnel from Minot. However, reports have been made of meetings between military families and the U.S. President in his office on Air Force One. 

 

General Moseley, the Air Force Chief of Staff, had previously visited Minot on March 14-15, 2007, a month before Minot airmen went to Wichita. [32] If a secret mission was being prepared, these events could have played a role in the recruiting phases for an important internal special operation. Following their recruitment, Minot servicemen could have symbolically met General Moseley or White House officials to understand that the mission was being sanctioned by the highest ranks and offices in the United States.

Orders had to Come from the Top: Treason of the Highest Order

Orders had to come from higher up.

The operation would not have been possible without the involvement of more than one individual in the highest ranks of the U.S. Air Force command structure and the Pentagon.

The only way to bypass these separate chains of command is “to be above them” (from higher up), as well as to have the possibility of directly overseeing their implementation. 

These orders would then have been communicated to lower levels in the U.S. Air Force command chain in different locations, to allow for so-called “oversight” to proceed. The alternative to this is “an alternative chain of command,” although this also needs someone in the highest ranks of office to organize and oversee.”

The post given to Riechers was politically motivated, given his track record in the U.S. Air Force. Riechers had been in a position of responsibility in the U.S. Air Force special operational support activities; something he had in common with Russell Dougherty, the former SAC commander. He would have been one of the best suited individuals for making arrangements in the case of an alternative command structure for a secretive nuclear operation…..”

Town Hall Meeting with U.S. Congressman Brian Baird

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rRE5UK6NQU

From the page: “I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy. “

Stepping Into the Life that God Wills

http://www.thebiblepost.com/stepping-into-the-life-that-orders

From the page: “Just as God didn’t hesitate to offer Abraham His blessing, Abraham didn’t hesitate to open his arms to receive it. Indeed, God wants to bless us; but before we can receive His blessing we have to step out in faith and go wherever He tells us to. And we need to act without hesitation. Far too often we get caught up in a slumber when it comes to exercising faith in God; and thus we miss out on opportunities that would have reaped lasting rewards if we had just simply placed our hand in His and acknowledged Him as our loving Father.”
