Middle America's Worldview

I am not sure how accurate this quiz is. However, it was maybe 15 questions and did not take long.

Surprisingly, my results showed libertarian a bit to the left. While I do believe in the Constitution and I abhor the raping of our rights from government, I am not sure I am a full blown Libertarian.

Allegations have been released, the same Mexican cartel killing Brian Terry in 2010 with Department of Justice, Eric Holder fiasco “Fast and Furious” scandal were working with the FBI.

 John Dodson, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the FBI was “directing the rip crew” to do a “drug rip-off” using intelligence gathered by the DEA.

 John Dodson’s interview indicating the same Mexican bandits who gunned down Brian Terry, were working for FBI operatives, has repositioned light on the Obama Administrations Fast and Furious operation again.

 Dodson’s new book release, “The Unarmed Truth” chronicles his role as a whistleblower during Operation Fast and Furious. The Obama Administration attempted to block the publication of the book, and failed.

Interestingly the Twilight Zone ran "The Shelter" on Sep. 29, 1961. It shows preppers existed as far back as 1961, with the issue of preppers and non-preppers. It's the famous story of the grasshopper and ant. The grasshopper played all the time, while the ant worked and prep. When time came, the ant was able to survive the winter, while the grasshopper suffered.
Socialism wishes to have the grasshopper fed by the working ant, but America was built on ants not grasshoppers.

The show is fascinating to watch, if you have 30 minutes to spare. I only fear this scenario, times a whole town, city, country.

While Doomsday Preppers show the extreme, prepping remains to be simply risk management. I suggest The Survival Podcast, providing great information, without the tinfoil hats.

I wrote a quick review of the 299 days on the first book, after I finished it.

As I conveyed before, alot of similarities and amazingly enough, I came across an interview of Glen Tate (not his real name). The interview is broken up to 3 videos on youtube. Very interesting to see.

Viewing this,you learn the story-line is based off real people, and his personal past.

This was really thought out and worth the watch. MainePrepper provides common sense discussion on what you personally can do in preparation of the coming depression or economic collapse.

Many may not acknowledge the coming collapse, but they remain in normal bias.

Last night, while alone in my hotel, I was able to finish the book 299: The Preparation, by Glen Tate. I had accidently came across the book series. I have been reading other books regarding the fall of United States, and emphasizes on prepping and after effects. I enjoyed the book "Lights Out", by David Crawford, as well "Patriots", by James Wesley Rawles.

However, Tate's book hit home for me. The fictional character had remarkable similarities to my own personal life. The kid recalled little of his childhood, grew up in a small town very poor. Married an awesome wife, and worked hard to accomplish what his parents could not.

Moving toward marriage, having an older daughter, and a younger son with autism. The story was remarkably unnerving, but relatable to me. I also grew up poor, in a small town and in my own way became successful with a career. Additionally, I married an awesome wife, having an older daughter and a younger son with autistic tendencies, struggling medically.

The character in the book, was snapped out of his dream world, and brought back to his roots as a country boy, remembering how hard it was while a kid. This with the aid of guidance, opened his eyes to what is coming, kicked his butt into bucking up and begins preparing.

Similarly, I see what is coming (as I know my family understands my discussions on this matter) and it scares me to death. However, only discussing it will not help. This book provides a real life scenario on what can be done, a little at a time.

A phenomenal book, providing a deeper rich character than the prior books I have read before. The similarities drew me into the storyline, while also providing me some real world examples of what can be done to begin preparation.

I tip my hat to Glen Tate and look forward to the second book.

Google company continues to buy up robotic start-up companies. Recently Google acquired the company Boston Dynamics. This makes the eight robot maker snapped up, within the last six months.

The company Boston Dynamics designed and produced mobile research robots for US military. The company is best known for its four legged robots, tackling all matter of terrains, with speeds up to 29 mph.

Cheetah, BigDog and Wildcat robots were created by Boston Dynamics. The company is also working on a humanoid robot dubbed Atlas to work in natural disaster areas.

Terminator anyone?

Cheetah

The Cheetah Robot surpasses 20mph, breaking the land record for robots.

Atlas

A high mobility humanoid robot, able to walk bipedally, allowing the upper arms free to work.

SandFlea

The 11 pound robot that drives like a remote control car, but can jump 30 feet into the air. This robot is reported to be able to jump 25 times per charge.

A knock on the door interrupts Tom from his football game. His wife and two kids are out shopping, so who could it be? Answering the door, an official envelope is provided to him from the United States Government. ‘What could this be’? He wondered, as the game goes into another commercial.

Opening the envelope, he is greeted with a bill from the government for $43,000 dollars.

Since Obama has come into the office, the debt ceiling has been raised seven times. Those increases from Congress added an additional $43,000 dollars for every individual American household, this last four years. While no “official envelope” is provided, the debt is real.

During his first term, this President blamed Bush, now in his Second term he is blaming Republicans. Blaming them about economy, “send the economy into a tailspin.”

Blaming them on Obamacare funding, “…just to make sure that tens of millions of Americans continue not to have health care…they’re holding the whole country hostage.”

Those are only a couple of examples of the rhetoric on display at the Auto plant today in Liberty Missouri.

Obama noted 40 times that the Republican majority has voted to repeal Obamacare, calling the attempts a failure.

There is no question: Military and tattoos go together naturally like blood and guts. Yet, a new Army rule may ban tattoos. The new rule was approved by Secretary of the Army John McHugh, but not yet signed. The order would ban tattoos from the forearms, below the knee, or above the neckline. Tattoos deemed offensive must be removed regardless of location, and the soldier is required to pay for the removal.

What is considered to be offensive? Watching R.Lee Ermey playing the role as Gunnery Sargent Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket, I cannot imagine what could be offensive. Yet, the Army has found some tattoos distasteful.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is as controversial as smoking cigarettes. States such as California attempted to require labeling, but was defeated due to heavy money backers from Monsanto, Grocery Manufactures Association, and Dupont. Pitched Battle Against GMO Seeds Recently the battle to label GMO's moved to Washington, and was again defeated. Now the battle has moved to Oregon, as initiative 522. The initiative succeeded in the urban Puget Sound region, but failed in rural counties. The failure was due to the same group, Grocery Manufactures Association, Monsanto and Dupont helping push a $22 million campaign against labeling Read More:

Open carry activists in Orion Township, Michigan, had a surprise encounter at an event on Friday. While the activists expected some form of confrontation with the police during the For Liberty Friday event, they did not expect a positive situation. The Deputy Sheriff (DS) pulled up, while the activists prepared to take photos with their camera-phones. Rather than an inquiry for the activist ID, or demand for confiscation, they were greeted with handshakes.

Deputy Paul Buell, stated he was “out to catch bad guys, not people who are exercising their constitutional rights.” The deputy went on to comment on how guns scare the “uneducated.”

However, if someone calls, the police must come and check it out. Fortunately for the activist, this deputy understood and supported their Constitutional rights.

I couldn’t agree more. We need more police with this kind of understanding. Many will view Paul Buell as a hero, but in reality he is doing what should be occuring with all our police officers.

Those tattoos or brands affiliated with “depicting, or symbolizing extremist philosophies, organizations, or activities.” I am not sure what these could be. Perhaps Marxism or Socialist red diaper babies would count. My fear is that it could include Patriotic or Constitutional symbols.

The list of offensive tattoos also lists sexist tattoos that degrade a person based on gender. Are women in the service offended?

The perception of Congress acquiring incentives from some companies or special groups, while providing inside votes is nothing new. However, what if the special interest is a particular very wealthy family, namely the Rothschild family? It has been reported John Mccain may have been ”accepting improper contributions” from the Rothschild family during a recent trip to London.

During John Mccain’s March visit in the United Kingdom, Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild hosted a fundraising luncheon at London’s Spencer house. The luncheon called for lounge suites, and the cost was $1000 to $2,300 per ticket. Inquires have been made from Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. “The question is whether or not the Rothschilds paid for the event, the venue, the catering, or any other related costs,”

The Rothschild family is an empire with a net worth around $300- $400 billion range. This is only an estimate, since a true account cannot be ascertained due to the complications of how much their involvement is.

There is a very concerning scenario in play. Having the gang of eight with the traitor Majority Leader, Harry Reid, piece-mealing a comprehensive immigration bill in the back room looks to become a possible reality.

The so-called gang of eight consists of eight Senators, four Republicans and four Democrats, working on the immigration overhaul. On the right, we have Marc Rubio (FL), Jeff Flake (Az), John Mccain (Az), and Lindsey Graham (SC). On the left you have Dick Durbin (IL), Robert Menendez (NJ), Chuck Schumer (NY), and Michael Bennet (CO).

Their proposed immigration legislation is a 1200-page mammoth, providing the Senators only 72 hours to read before the votes begin. Sounds familiar to the famous “pass it to know what’s in it” Nancy Pelosi mentality. This mammoth law is not believed to pass as is.

I wrote an earlier article titled, Educating the Youth with anti-gun ideology, describing how schools are teaching another version of the second amendment. Author T.E. Manley goes into this issue exposing the new curriculum hitting the schools, via the common core.

DownTrend has released a new article, reporting on Eric Holder admitting to brainwashing the kids, via the public schools.

In a C-SPAN video a younger Eric Holder conveys the idea of brainwashing children about guns. The speech he provides in the video, from 1995, discussing the best way to destroy the US Constitution is in the same manner of putting a bad image on smoking cigarettes. By repetition and starting with the youth, until the goal is achieved. This form of indoctrination is nothing new. The question is, should the destruction of Constitutional ideals be allowed within the United States Public School System? If not, who can stop this ideaology from being forced on our children?

According to an American cyber security company for nearly two years China has been hacking foreign defense contractors. What are they looking for? Drone technology, according to Darien Kindlund, manager of threat intelligence, FireEye.

“I believe this is the largest campaign we’ve seen that has been focused on drone technology,”said Darien Kindlund, manager of threat intelligence at the company, FireEye, based in California. “It seems to align pretty well with the focus of the Chinese government to build up their own drone technology capabilities.”

FireEye, has prepared a report called Operation Beebus, associating the attacks back to China.

Project 2049 Institute, based out of Virginia, conveys that using cyber-attacks to acquire knowledge is only one tool for the effort of purchasing or developing drones, both foreign and domestic.

China denies their government has sanctioned such activity. However, the attacks were identified to be from the group Comment Crew, out of the People’s Liberation Army, Shanghai.

With the advent of the recent school shootings, discussion has been brought in the forefront on gun control and confiscation. This argument, technically, started with the Second Amendment in writing, but has not stopped, even to this day.

Groups like Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Bear Arms have been created to promote education and understanding to the citizens about gun rights and bearing arms.

The debate has skewed many false premises on the subject, leaving confusion and misunderstanding regarding what is legal and what is illegal for the common citizen rights to bear arms. Each state has specific laws and regulations regarding firearms. Recently Oklahoma approved open carry for those licensed gun carriers. Gun rights advocates won a victory in Colorado, by removing two lawmakers supporting gun control in the state legislature. On the other end of the spectrum cities like Chicago with stricter gun control is faced with high gang-related violence. The strict gun control does not stop the guns in Chicago.

In 2008, Obama commented anyone can build a Coal plant, but it would bankrupt them, due to the high sum being charged to the plant. During that same interview, he did state, if unable to find a means to use coal, without emmissions, then alternative energy sources would be worked on.

It appears that promise has come into fruition on Obama’s second term. At least half of it. The massive regulations on the coal industry will be implemented, regardless of having those alternative energy sources.

“Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and from Republicans that it would mean a dim future for coal.”

USA Today has released a new document, citing newly uncovered IRS documents showing how the agency flagged political groups based on the content of their literature, namely Anti-Obama language.

The list contained 162 groups by name, with specific comments from the Internal Revenue Service lawyers in Washington. This obviously raises eyebrows, and questions why the IRS is being used as a Nazi style police to search out non-Obama groups requesting a tax exempt 501c.

In August 2012 the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman testified on the Hill before the House Oversight Committee

In an unprecedented action, Obama waives ban on arming terrorist to allow aid to Syrian opposition. According to the Washington Times, a “provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to ‘vetted’ opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.” According to the President of the United States, he has the authority to waive the ban, citing the Arms Export Control Act. The waiver is for sections 40 and 40A of the Arms Export Control Act. The Arms Export Control Act “provides Read More:

Gotta love Morgan Freeman. Guess, many believed it was he not Nelson Mandela that had died. Notice Freeman even recognizes Mandela as a terrorist.

Yet, President Barack Obama wishes to have the American flag fly at half-mast for the terrorist.

 Some Sheriff's are refusing to fly their flags at half-mast, rightly so. The honor goes to Americans, not terrorist.

 South Carolina Sheriff Rick Clark, conveys his opinion on the matter. "To show a sign of respect for what Nelson Mandela's done, I have no problem with lowering it in South Africa, in their country," Clark told a local television station. "But in our country, it should be the people, in my opinion, who have sacrificed for
our country."

 

Recently I wrote an article regarding a veteran had his confiscated over a forced psych-evaluation. Appears the Veteran hospitals are doing wellness checks, having local police force veterans to have psychological evaluations. Following up on this article, the veteran is David Schmecker, 50-year old honorably discharged disabled veteran from Connecticut, called george4title (George Hemminger). George provides a youtube channel on gun confiscation.

Part two, new update.

Amazon released their vision of using delivery drones to 60 minutes, providing us a look at their new delivery system. The autonomous delivery vehicles, termed “octopters” could provide your package within 30 minutes. Will FAA allow Amazon to launch their Amazon Prime Air?CEO Jeff Bezoz spent alot air time providing a sneak peek to his Amazon Prime Air program.

The idea is to use electric drones to deliver up to 5 pound packages for trips up to 10 miles, within 30 minutes. Considering Amazon is located throughout United States, this has the potential to reach many. Additionally, 86 percent of the items would be qualified for delivery.

  The idea to use flying drones isn’t really new.


In London, the resturant YO!Sushi, created the new method of delievering burgers on their flying tray. The flagship store in Central London has dubbed their flying drone, iTray. It is a four-propeller flying waiter, being controlled by a nearby human waiter with an iPad. The tray has speeds up to 25 mph.

In California, Tacopter had the idea of a hungry customer ordering on his cellphone, and having his food delivered to the house or office by the quadratic drone. "Thanks to the imagineers at Tacopter, now, wherever I am, by sending my cellphones GPS co-ordinates I can call in a surgical flavour strike that will level my hunger with significant collateral deliciousness."The idea provided the idea, but the startup never lifted off.

 Stemming the idea of using drones for personal use has already been squashed in California. The Bill California SB-15 is passing through the state senate with speed. This came from Senator Alex Padilla for fear of paparazzi using drones for video and picture taking. The bill termed “California Drone Bill” puts restrictions on civilian use, rather than commercial use. Questions remain for Amazon to be able to use their Amazon Prime Air. To date, no blessings from FAA to allow use of domestic drones. Nothing appears to be said till 2015 the earliest. Bezos says it “optimistic” at best.

 While the innovation and desire continues, it appears we continue to wait on the government for approval.

I was able to attend church today. I was glad I did. In a special presentation, the church showed the 30 minute video by Billy Graham, titled "The Cross".


 

My grandmother had always told me Billy Graham is the best movie in our lifetime. I have to pay high respects to him. The video admittedly pulled my heart strings.

While the message was great, it pains me to think we as individuals can only do so much. The biggest thing we can do is make that ultimate decision, when faced with the confrontation of the Cross.

While we celebrate time with the family around these holidays, keep in mind the real reason behind these holidays.
