H.R. 2454 Passes in House

On Friday, June 26 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, better known as the “American Clean Energy and Security Act”. On the surface, this unprecedented legislation looks like an innocent bill backed by good intentions. The title alone suggests that it aims to protect our environment and ultimately our planet. But looks can be deceiving and, in this case, it would benefit us greatly to heed the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Mr. Obama and his Administration claim that H.R. 2454 will create millions of “green” jobs and help reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Whether or not this is accurate, the American Clean Energy and Security Act would also allow the federal government to tax U.S. citizens on a scale never before seen in our history. In addition to skyrocketing taxes, the government would also be granted the power to monitor and regulate the use of electricity in practically any way they deemed necessary. From the type of light bulbs you use to how your entire house or office building is designed, everything would be regulated and taxed. Please understand, this new policy would not be a suggestion. It would be the law, and it would be enforced. The actual text of the bill clearly details the use of a “youth corps” or “youth brigades” to act as “climate police” or “environmental police”. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 2454 would impose new taxes that would devastate the world of small business and lead our economy into an even deeper depression. Ron Paul recently said it best in one of his columns:

"The real inconvenient truth is that the cost of government regulations, taxes, fees, red tape and bureaucracy is a considerable expense that has to be considered when companies decide where to do business and how many people they can afford to hire. Increasing governmental burden directly causes capital flight and job losses, as Spain has learned. In this global economy its easy enough for businesses to relocate to countries that are more politically friendly to economic growth. If our government continues to kick the economy while its down, it will be a long time before it gets back up. In fact, jobs are much more likely to go overseas, compounding our problems."

In the ongoing effort to defend liberty and the U.S. Constitution, patriots across the country (including members of Congress) see this bill as a real threat. And the people behind it are well aware of its inherent flaws. They know perfectly well that it would violate the Constitution and impede on our civil liberties. And they knew that it would be much easier to pass in the House if they kept it quiet from the public and made it nearly impossible for Representatives to read it before having to vote on it. That is why the mainstream media gave it close to no attention before it went to vote. That is why a 300 page amendment was submitted at 3:08 the morning before the vote. And that is why when members of Congress asked if they could see the bill before voting, they were repeatedly told “No” by none other than Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Once again, the federal government is using secrecy and fear to pass legislation that would further strip away our civil liberties. Please learn more about H.R. 2454. Please do not blindly accept legislation that would transfer wealth from the private sector to the government sector. And, if you disagree with this legislation, please call your Senators and ask them to vote against the bill. It is up to us to fight this tyranny.

"Ron Paul Slams Federal Reserve's New Dictatorial Powers"

Responding to the Obama administration’s new regulatory reform plan, which will officially hand the Federal Reserve complete dictatorial control over the U.S. economy, Congressman Ron Paul told MSNBC that the Fed was now more powerful than Congress.

Paul emphasized that no amount of regulation could compensate for a financial system created and controlled by the Federal Reserve that was completely unstable to begin with.

“The regulations should be on the Federal Reserve. We should have transparency of the Federal Reserve. They can create trillions of dollars to bail out their friends, and we don’t even have any transparency of this. They’re more powerful than the Congress,” said Paul.

As we reported yesterday, the new rules would see the Fed given the authority to “regulate” any company whose activity it believes could threaten the economy and the markets.

Obama’s regulatory “reform” plan is nothing less than a green light for the complete and total takeover of the United States by a private banking cartel that will usurp the power of existing regulatory bodies, who are now being blamed for the financial crisis in order that their status can be abolished and their roles handed over to the all-powerful Fed.

“They’re giving a tremendous amount of more power to the Federal Reserve - the very institution that created our problem. That’s about the way Washington works,” said the Congressman.

“Too much regulations to begin with, so they give it more. The Federal Reserve creates the problem, so we give them more power. It’s fiat money that’s the problem, so we allow them to double the money supply - you can’t solve the problems that way. That’s like saying you can take care of a drug addict by just giving them more drugs,” concluded Paul, adding that the lack of understanding about how the Federal Reserve created the problem and how the free market ought to work was the root of the crisis.

The Explorers

Forget about camping, backpacking, and earning merit badges. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are now training Boy Scouts across the country to embrace the SWAT mentality and become tomorrow's Gestapo. A recent New York times article by Jennifer Steinhauer explains that "The Explorers program, a coeducational affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America that began 60 years ago, is training thousands of young people in skills used to confront terrorism, illegal immigration and escalating border violence- an intense ratcheting up of one of the group's longtime missions to prepare youths for more traditional jobs as police officers and firefighters."

In addition to these objectives, Scouts will also be required to combat "rightwing extremists" which, according to the Department of Defense, now includes Ron Paul supporters, patriots often referred to as "9/11 Truthers", and other innocent civilians working to defend liberty. It is also important to note that The Explorers Program does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Boys and girls, as young as 14, are currently being recruited and trained. In fact, certain circumstances may allow those even younger to enroll. A.J. Lowenthal, a sheriff's deputy in Imperial County, CA recently said, "I will take them at 13 and a half. I would rather take a kid than possibly lose a kid." Make no mistake. These people will be happy to "take" your children, throw a bullet proof vest on them, and teach them how to shoot. Bottom line? You may want to think twice about allowing your kids to enroll in such a program, especially if you possess any "opposing" political views.

Fluoride

Roughly 66% of United States residents who rely on public water supplies are currently exposed to the most consumed drug in the nation: fluoride. Although it is toxic, this industrial waste product is still used in toothpaste and continues to be added to drinking water in countries across the globe. The following video explains why "more than a thousand scientists and medical professionals from across the world have banded together to warn us that, even in its most diluted form, fluoride is still a poison and can harm your health." Prolonged fluoride consumption can cause heart disease, headaches, cancer, bone fractures, indigestion, and other serious health concerns? Wonderful. As if we don't have enough to worry about.

"Here we've got 1,100 scientists saying, 'We've read the scientific literature. We say there's a problem.' And now, what we should get from the other side is a very careful consideration of these reports and a scientific explanation. But we don't get that. All we get is a continuation of this propaganda, this simplistic PR...it's safe and effective, safe and effective, safe and effective. If they repeat it enough times, with a white coat on it, everybody's supposed to believe them."

Obama's Czars

While Justin Timberlake has been working night and day to bring "sexy" back, Obama has been busy bringing back something of his own: czars. In fact, during his short time in office he has already created more czars than any other President. To put things in perspective, let's look at some numbers. In 8 years, George W. Bush appointed 4 czars and, in only 4 months, Obama has already appointed sixteen (that we know about). You probably have a number of questions at this point and two of them might be, "Are you serious? Isn't 'czar' an old term for a monarch?" Yes and yes. According to the current Administration, these czars are nothing more than appointed officials whose purpose is to overlook their respective department of government. In reality, there's a little more to it than that. Here's some information that the Obama team might be hesitant to share with you:

• This person is immune to subpoena, congressional oversight and review
• This person answers to the President, and the President only
• This person need not be approved or confirmed by any other branch
• This person has supreme rule over the agencies which he or she is to oversee
• This person's salary is not disclosed
• The budget which this person oversees is not to be reviewed, and collectively the Obama czars oversee up to $2 trillion

I really don't know what to say, other than our Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves. As Obama quickly forms and expands a team of people required to answer to no one but himself, I can only hope that people all across the country are asking questions other than the two I previously mentioned. Questions like, "Doesn't this system create great potential for the abuse of power? What ever happened to checks and balances? Are these czars even Constitutional?" I do hope you are interested in learning more about the potential dangers of this system. If so, check out this short article which includes a complete list of the current czars and their respective positions.

Adam Kokesh

I don't have much to say at the moment, but I wanted to share this inspiring speech from fellow patriot and veteran Adam Kokesh. Enjoy.

"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. The upmost manifestation of love and devotion to America is today, as it always has been, resistance of tyranny."

Phase 6 and Vaccines

It is now being reported that the World Health Organization will be declaring a "phase 6" on the pandemic alert scale within the next few days. If and when this does occur, mandatory (forced) inoculations could become a very real possibility. At the same time, there is an overwhelming and generally unreported amount of evidence which suggests that the flu vaccination is not only unnecessary but likely to result in symptoms far worse than the flu itself. You may want to consider what naturopath David Getoff of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation and others are saying before you willingly roll up your sleeve.

"When you take a look at the statistics that are given to the public, you realize there's a little bit of misleading information going on. Because they came out with this word "pandemic" a long time ago, and they've been using it lately for something which doesn't meet any of the criteria of a pandemic. So, in other words, they like to scare us for some reason into being able to be willing to rush out and get vaccines when there isn't even an epidemic, much less a pandemic."

Update:

Minutes after finishing this post I searched "world health organization" on CNN.com and discovered that the alert level was in fact raised from phase 5 to phase 6 earlier this afternoon. Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the WHO has issued a statement to the press. It can be seen in full here.
