SERVE AMERICA ACT REEKS OF POLITICAL INDOCTRINATION AND FREE LABOR

Marcia Stirman provided ORF with this information.  The Serve America Act reeks of political indoctrination and free labor provided by your children.  

If u have children who are 'able young people' PAY ATTENTION to this latest bill that passed both the House and Senate as is sitting at Obama's desk for his signature or veto:

 

GIVE Act ‘Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act’ HR 1388

A bill entitled "The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, an Act to reauthorize and reform the national service laws."

The Senate passed the "Serve America Act," HR 1388, by a vote of 79-19 
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1388/show

ADDED: The "mandatory service requirement" language in HR 1388 was taken out before the House vote, but it was reintroduced as a separate bill,HR 1444, whose purpose is "To establish the Congressional Commission on Civic Service to study methods of improving and promoting volunteerism and national service, and for other purposes."http://wizbangblog.com/content/2009/03/27/the-house-giveth-and-the-government-taketh-away-our-freedoms-1.php
[How can u have mandatory volunteerism????  National Service program with mandatory participation for everyone between 17 and 25 for no less than nine months and no more than two years except in case of a disaster, despite the fact that mandatory service without pay constitutes involuntary servitude and is in direct violation of the thirteenth amendment.]

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) discusses the many flaws of the National Service Act being considered on the Senate floor, calling it "a well-intentioned mistake" (Mar. 24, 2009). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TPi0gR-P8w
GOOD insight and arguments!

Americorps Has Stench Of Authoritarianism 

With almost no public attention, both chambers of Congress in the past week advanced an alarming expansion of the Americorps national service plan, with the number of federally funded community-service jobs increasing from 75,000 to 250,000 at a cost of $5.7 billion.  Lurking behind the feel-good rhetoric spouted by the measure’s advocates is a bill that upon closer inspection reveals multiple provisions that together create a strong odor of creepy authoritarianism. 

The House passed the measure overwhelmingly, while only 14 senators had the sense and courage to vote against it on a key procedural motion.  Every legislator who either voted for this bill or didn’t vote at all has some serious explaining to do.

Last summer, then-candidate Barack Obama threw civil liberties to the wind when he proposed "a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the regular military.  The expanded Americorps is not quite so disturbing, but a number of provisions in the bill raise serious concerns.

To begin with, the legislation threatens the voluntary nature of Americorps by calling for consideration of "a workable, fair and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people."  It anticipates the possibility of requiring "all individuals in the United States" to perform such service, including elementary school students.

The bill also summons up unsettling memories of World War II-era paramilitary groups by saying the new program should"combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service," while establishing "campuses" that serve as "operational headquarters," complete with "superintendents" and "uniforms" for all participants.  It allows for the elimination of all age restrictions in order to involve Americans at all stages of life.  And, it calls for the creation of "a permanent cadre" in a "National Community Civilian Corps."

But that’s not all. The bill also calls for "youth engagement zones" in which "service learning" is "a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."

This updated form of voluntary community service is also to be "integrated into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curricula" at all levels of schooling.  Sounds like a government curriculum for government-approved "service learning," which is nothing less than indoctrination.

HILMAR VON CAMPE: Individual Lies Can Form A System of Lies

•  LIES
  "Individual lies can form a system of lies. Once a specific lie is institutionalized and becomes a basis for policy decisions, for legislation and law enforcement it advances the formation of a system of lies. The more lies are being elevated this way the closer we get to a system where lies dominate. If this continues the next and final phase leads to a society where lies rule, or in other words we reach the godless totalitarian system: lies are being enforced with the power of government and opposition becomes a criminal act - law or no law totalitarian systems are the result of lies. The liar, however, and that title includes just about everyone, is concerned with him- or herself and does not notice the gradual transformation of the "Democratic" society where he or she lives in from freedom to slavery. They vote the totalitarian vanguard into democratic institutions: he or she doesn't do anything to reverse the trend, except perhaps criticise the other political party. Therefore the basis for any resistance or opposition must be personal change and truth in the lives of those who fight the political and social issues."

DOD POLICY OF BRASS RESELL

DOD REVERSES NO SELL POLICY THANKS TO 2 MONTANA SENATORS.

***********
GUN OWNERS AND 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATES: READ THIS ARTICLE AT THE SHOOTIST!

http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/dod-ends-sale-of-expended-military.html

Heard it on Peter Boyles talk show this morning: KHOW/AM.

Gordon Hutchinson's blog 'THE SHOOTIST' reveals an end run around Congress to greatly diminish the ability of handgun owners and hunters to buy ammunition.  The majority of brass casings used in manufacturing ammunition in the United States are purchased from the DOD.  These brass casings are from rounds already fired and resold by the DOD to private munitionsmanufacturers.  The brass will be shredded and sold as scrap to China!

Quote from Hutchinson's article on the Shootist blog:

"Got that? From now on, remanufacturers of military brass will not be able to buy surplus brass from DOD--actually from Government Liquidators, llc.--the corporation that sells surplus materials for the U.S. government. At least, not in any form recognizable as once-fired brass ammunition."

"Haynie was manufacturing over 1 million rounds of .223 ammunition every month, which he sold on the civilian market to resellers, and to law enforcement agencies across the country.

He will start tomorrow sending cancellations of orders for .223 to law enforcement agencies all over the country."

"What can you do?

 "...contact members of Congress..." 

Tell your elected officials they have the power to reverse this DOD policy.  Tell them not to support any restrictive policy or new laws taking away your 2nd Amendment right or attempts to out-price or destroy handgun and sportsmen munitions manufacturing in the United States.

RIGHT TO RANCH

RIGHT TO RANCH: GUNNISON COUNTY COLORADO

     

I (Bruce) spent several months researching all the counties in the 11 Western states.  I was looking for information and action other counties in the American West are taking or have taken to stem the tide of fraudulent expansion of federal authority and jurisdiction, environmental litigation based on junk science, surrogate species and fraud and the continuing conflict between ranching and non-ranching concerns.  

I used the HEADWATERS ECONOMIC website in this search.

http://www.headwaterseconomics.org/  This website is updated regularly and contains a wealth of information on the American West.

I found a county document titled 'RIGHT TO RANCH' on the Gunnison County, Colorado website.  I would urge all ORF readers to visit this site and read Gunnison County's

U.N. 'Climate Change' Plan Would Likely Shift Trillions to Form New World Economy

Friday, March 27, 2009 By George Russell


A United Nations document on "climate change" that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes — all under the supervision of the world body.

HILLARY'S ASSERTIONS ARE PURE FABRICATION: US GUNS FUEL MEXICAN VIOLENCE

The current outcry of guns from the United States fueling the Mexican drug cartel violence is an obvious orchestrated fraud, working in conjunction with the Obama administration's stated agenda to ban guns in the United States.  Isn't it convenient that during the Bush years and the last presidential campaign, no one used the word 'illegal' to describe immigration problems in the U.S.  Yet suddenly the word 'illegal' is now loudly used to describe weapons being smuggled out of the U.S. into Mexico.  The charge is these weapons are easily purchased at gun shows in the United States and sold to criminals in Mexico.  This is a fraud in process, a lie and another attempt to guilt, scare and convince the American public gun bans are needed in the United States to save Mexico!  Yet nothing has been said by this administration about the super-meth labs in Mexico producing meth to be sold in the United States.  Rham Emmanuel holds dual citizenship.  He's a citizen of the United States and Israel.  Emmanuel should be pressuring Israel to stop the sell of illegal arms to Hamas.  

From White House.gov: Urban policy

"Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent."

On Tuesday the Obama administration outlined plans to redeploy more than 500 federal agents to border posts and the Mexican interior and redirect $200 million to combat smuggling of illegal drugs, money and weapons.

"I don't think it's enough," Lieberman said at a hearing of his committee. "The danger here is clear and present. It threatens to get worse."

'SMARTER TRAFFIC' WILL RESTRICT YOUR DRIVING

Title click to read about SMARTER TRAFFIC on an IBM website. 

SMARTER TRAFFIC is currently running propoganda ads on the radio.  They play on stations in Alamogordo.  Better get in the loop on this one.  

SMARTER TRAFFIC in Stockholm, Sweden.  

"Cars stopping and starting frequently, for instance, discharge more carbon dioxcide, and traffic jams can increase accidents as well as the community spectre of road rage.  Of course, the pressure on city infrastructure also increases.

Enter the Swedish traffic flow and calming planning system.  A traffic flow scheme together with a patchwork of 'micro-planned' interconnecting city-ring roads and 'smart-round-abouts' reduce traffic chaos, according to Stockholm's Governor Mats Helstrom."

http://www.ecosmagazine.com/?act=view_file&file_id=EC128p28.pdf

CONGESTION PRICING

One of the dynamics of 'smarter traffic' is 'congestion pricing'.   Congestion pricing typically involves tolls on roads where none existed before or an increase in existing toll roads.  Of course this type of transportation 'sin' tax will increase as more commuters are forced out of their personal automobiles and onto to public transportation.

http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/01/18/new-congestion-charging-survey-in-line-with-london-stockholm/

In Stockholm, Sweden, bus fares jumped dramatically when Smart Traffic was implemented.

http://www.ainfos.ca/en/ainfos21972.html

From what ORF has learned about 'smart chips' on home furnaces and air conditioners, it is not unrealistic to believe that a smart chip installed in your car or SUV (trucks might be illegal by the time this Big Brother policy becomes law or regulation)  will 'tattle' to SMARTER TRAFFIC computers on how much fuel you are using and how many miles you travel in a week, month or year.  You could expect to receive a warning from the fedgov that you are using too much fuel in your personal vehicle, or driving too much thus putting too much stress on your cities or state's infrastructure, and you might be told to PARK IT AND TAKE THE BUS!  You might also be told that you are prohibited from driving your vehicle out of your state as you have already used your SMARTER TRAFFIC alloted gallons of fuel or miles driven; all determined by models already existing in Europe, Australia and one city in Oregon.  

The classic scenario of Gestapo or Soviet border guards demanding to see papers from indivduals traveling from European state to state will become reality in the form of restrictions on personal vehicle use in the United States.  Yes, ORF realizes this scenario sounds bizarre and unrealistic.  That's exactly what the proponents of this new technology want you to believe about blogs like ORF.  You decide for yourself.  Your SMARTER TRAFFIC warning is in the mail.

TEAGUE BILL WOULD EXPAND FED JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY IN NEW MEXICO!

Title click to read article on NEW MEXICO INDEPENDENT website.

"U.S. Reps. Harry Teague and Ciro D. Rodriguez, along with nine others, introduced the Border Reinforcement and Violence Reduction Act to address the increased violence on the border between the United States and Mexico.

“The security of our borders directly affects the security of America and the lives of many of my constituents. The funding in this bill provides law enforcement with additional resources to aggressively go after the illegal gun smuggling that has fueled much of the violence along the border,” said Teague."

This bill is outrageous and not needed!  U.S. Rep. Harry Teague (D) from New Mexico is catering to Rahm Emmanuel's crisis exploitation agenda.  Teague's bill would replace the New Mexico Department of Safety and New Mexico County Sheriff's, as well as the federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms efforts to enforce federal and state laws.  The stats on gun smuggling from the U.S. to Mexico used to be compiled and published by the ATF.  Now they are complied and published by the STATE DEPARTMENT!  The ATF refutes a recent Judiciary Committed finding that 2000 guns a day are smuggled from the U.S. to Mexico; thus President Obama's appeasement and agreement with Mexico's President Caldaron's accusation that the Mexican drug cartels are armed with weapons provided by the United States.  ATF agents testified in the judiciary hearing that maybe a couple of hundred guns make it across the border on a daily basis.

See the video of this hearing at the CSPAN video library.  The judiciary committee clearly does not like what they are hearing:  the ATF testimony does not support the judiciary committee's desired predetermined opinions on Mexican drug cartels and gun smuggling.

Letter to Otero County Commissioners 3/21/09

Commissioners McGinn and Rardin and Pamela Heltner (for Commissioner Moore and Tim Smith),

Please take a look at the USDA spread sheet attached showing monies spent and needed to complete the National Animal Identification System - NAIS. It is broken down by state and was sent to me by Ronnie Merritt. I recall citizen communications to Otero County regarding NAIS several years ago and all were opposed.

When our universities, tribes and associations are getting money from USDA, just how free are their staffs/members to oppose the NAIS and keep their jobs and reputations?

As elected representatives you have the obligation to speak the will of your constituents with no threat of job loss or damage to your reputation, in fact just the opposite. That is the beauty of our system.

The same USDA (USFS) asks Otero County to participate in RACs, cooperative agreements, etc. It appeared Thursday 3/19/09 that USFS has little respect for our county by making this latest request with such short notice - one involving participation with other counties in use of Title (?) monies in Lincoln and Gila Forests. This was not even discussed at the work session prior to the regular meeting. Otero County has ordinances requiring agencies to notify Otero County of any plans in land use even in early discussions.

Has Ms. Buchannan, and the other agency heads, been made aware of these ordinances? In writing? Since we have ordinances that are not being enforced uniformly it does harm to Otero County's credibility and ability to do the work of the people. Surely we can all agree on that?

Sincerely,

Janet White

100 BILLS A YEAR: ORF-ED PIECE BY BRUCE WOODHULL

100 BILLS A YEAR        

The power of the registered electorate is one of the essential privileges, rights or freedoms of a democracy.  Or so we are told.  The voting hierarchy serves the Citizen on a similar level of hierarchies.  Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines hierarchy as: 1: a division of angels  2 a: a ruling body of clergy organized into orders or ranks each subordinate to the one above it ; especially : the bishops of a province or nation b: church government by a hierarchy  3: a body of persons in authority  4: the classification of a group of people according to ability or to economic, social, or professional standing ; also : the group so classified  5: a graded or ranked series .

We, as American Citizens, believe our vote directs the elected official whom we elect to represent the constituency we are a part of.  The first definition of hierarchy, noted above is a 'division of angels'.  Believing we have elected a division of angels is not the description most Americans would use in describing politicians.  Some enlightened individuals might think of President Obama as a divine being, but I think most do not.

 

Let's jump to the third and fourth definitions of hierarchy.  The third definition: a body of persons in authority, could rank at any level of authoritarian institutions, from the local school board to the U.s. Congress.  Just how much authority these 'governing bodies' have is debated, defined, regulated and challenged on a daily basis in the United States.  

Definition four: 'the classification of a group of people according to ability or to economic, social or professional standing' could describe our elected officials and the numerous committees, coalitions, political action committees, agencies and partisan groups. .   

Regardless of the American hierarchy of political government and our faith in elected officials representing our political wishes, we are seeing a populace being governed by an unyielding government aggressively expanding federal jurisdiction and authority.  Since the election of Barrack Obama, who among us have voted for the Stimulus package, the DOD policy not to sell expended .223 casings to private munitions manufacturers, continued support and taxpayer paid entitlements for illegal immigrants from foreign nations, the use of textbooks printed in Mexico in American classrooms, the AIG and other bailouts, government interference with American industry, the possible expansion of the war in Iraq into Pakistan, and all the other Orwellian legislation and ideology this president and his czars and cabinet are imposing on the American Citizenry? 

 We are witnessing the unbridled growth of government, much as the Bush administration did the same, and the generational debt to our grandchildren increase.  How do we stop the growth of government and the creation of laws, policies and federal authority we did not vote for?  

I have an idea.

Before I hatch the plan, let me reveal its short comings and its 'non-reality'.  The idea would encumber government with too many people getting involved with what goes on in Washington D.C.  The idea would essentially limit the ability of federal government to grow, function or meet challenges.  The idea would severely limit the power of the hierarchy; definition four.  The political machine in Washington D.C. would slow to a crawl.  

MY idea is to limit the House and Congress to 100 bills a year.  Every bill going before the House and Congress would be voted for approval in a national election by the registered electors throughout the United States.  Yes, I propose on going voting on every bill proposed in Washington D.C.  I also propose ongoing voting on every major resolution, deal, amendment, and scheme, control, authoritarian grab in the federal government.  You protest the average Citizen doesn't have time to study bills, research the U.S. Constitution, and earn a living and raise a family.  To some extent this is true and to a greater extent this is exactly what the scoundrels in Washington D.C. know and rely on; the ignorance and apathy of the public.

We are too busy going to work, paying taxes, raising our families to understand we are being taken down the road to legislated socialism and diminished Constitutional Rights.

It can't be done would be the voice of reason and frugality coming from the opposition.  But think for a moment if this was the case.  My intent for this idea is to limit the creation of pork being legislated into taxpayer funded projects and to force politicians to focus on only the essential legislation needed and created to keep the country running, secure and sovereign.  The theory of transparency in government has never existed, regardless what this president claims.  Protests that nothing would get done in Washington' if only a 100 bills a year were allowed should be answered with let the sovereign states take up the slack.  Let the corporate United States crowd scream about enumerated powers if the states exercised their police power instead of bowing under the force and bullying of the federal government. 

I like the sound of that.  It offers a a challenge to the boys and girls in Washington.  After we ponder this for a while; think how this would work in your home state.

I'm giddy with fantasies of this working in New Mexico.  

Elected officials use your vote as the ticket in and then disregard your phone calls, emails, letters, public demonstrations and basically your belief your are represented.  If you had a weekly or monthly opportunity to vote on the legislative mechanisms in the seats of political power, you might feel 'represented' and involved.  

My idea is only that...an idea.  But what a glorious nightmare it would inflict on the federal government and our elected officials in Washington D.C.

DOD REVERSES POLICY OF SELL OF CASINGS

Title click to read article on WORLDNET DAILY website.

Thanks to two Montana senators, the DOD WILL CONTINUE TO SELL CASINGS to private munitions manufacturers.

"It is an end-run around Congress. They don't need to try to ban guns – they don't need to fight a massive battle to attempt gun registration, or limit 'assault' weapon sales," writes firearm instructor and author Gordon Hutchinson on his The Shootist blog. "Nope. All they have to do is limit the amount of ammunition available to the civilian market, and when bullets dry up, guns will be useless."

Subject: UNEQUALITY / NOBEL PRIZE INSULT / GO FIGURE

validated on snopes.com http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/sendler.asp Character of a man is measured by the way he treats those who are of no benefit to him.  A Lady Named Irena Sendler   There recently was the death of a 98-year-old lady named Irena Sendler.  During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the  Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.  She had an ulterior motive... She, being German, KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews.  Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she also carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger children).  She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.  The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the children/infants noises...  During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children/infants.  She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs and arms and beat her severely.  Irena kept a record of the names of all the children she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.  After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the family.  Most, of course, had been gassed.  Those children she helped were placed into foster family homes or adopted. Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.... She LOST. Al Gore won for doing a slide show on Global Warming.

FOREIGN TRADE ZONES FOR EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS

NEW DOD POLICY GREATER THREAT TO GUN OWNERS THAN HR 45

GUN OWNERS AND 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATES: READ THIS` ARTICLE!

Title click to be taken to a great and essential blog: The SHOOTIST.

Heard it on Peter Boyles talk show this morning: KHOW/AM.

Gordon Hutchinson's blog 'THE SHOOTIST' reveals an end run around Congress to greatly diminish the ability of handgun owners and hunters to buy ammunition.  The majority of brass casings used in manufacturing ammunition in the United States are purchased from the DOD.  These brass casings are from rounds already fired and resold by the DOD to private munitions manufacturers.  The brass will be shredded and sold as scrap to China!

Quote from Hutchinson's article on the Shootist blog:

"Got that? From now on, remanufacturers of military brass will not be able to buy surplus brass from DOD--actually from Government Liquidators, llc.--the corporation that sells surplus materials for the U.S. government. At least, not in any form recognizable as once-fired brass ammunition."

"Haynie was manufacturing over 1 million rounds of .223 ammunition every month, which he sold on the civilian market to resellers, and to law enforcement agencies across the country.

He will start tomorrow sending cancellations of orders for .223 to law enforcement agencies all over the country."

"What can you do?

 "...contact members of Congress..." 

Tell your elected officials they have the power to reverse this DOD policy.  Tell them not to support any restrictive policy or new laws taking away your 2nd Amendment right or attempts to out-price or destroy handgun and sportsmen munitions manufacturing in the United States.

HILLARY BRINGS BACK GREEN INITIATIVE FROM NORTH KOREA: PORCH TOILETS

(ORF)  Returning from her world tour as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has returned with new ammunition to fuel Presidents Obama's 'green war' on America.  One of the more controversial initiatives Clinton has proposed to the new administration is from North Korea.

Clinton unveiled the traditional North Korean 'porch toilet' in a meeting with President Obama.

Obama described the porch toilet as a return to American traditions and recycling waste material at the same time.  Praising the introduction of the porch toilet to newly proposed environmental legislation, Obama said, "Returning to a time when Americans gathered on the front porches of their neighbors and visited and exchanged family values and community news; the porch toilet will take Americans out of the prison of the privy, and intellectual deprivation, and allow them quality time to converse with their fellow Americans while recycling much need nutrient rich waste material onto their yards and flower beds.  Now, if we can just get Americans to grow cabbage in their front yards instead of expensive and environmentally challenged blue grass lawns then we will be on the road to global participation in the fight against climate change."

THE HILL: BLOG ROUND UP: OBAMA WRONG ON HISTORY

Obama Gets Kennedy History Wrong — Ask Sammy Davis

Doug Heye

"President Kennedy didn't have the luxury of choosing between civil rights and sending us to the moon," President Obama lectured us during his education speech yesterday.

Unfortunately, the president has his history wrong. It was LBJ, not JFK, who signed the Voting Rights Act.

JFK's civil rights legacy is better defined by two incidents involving Sammy Davis Jr., who campaigned for Kennedy in 1960: Kennedy's disinviting Davis to the Inauguration and, as noted in Wil Haygood's In Black and White, telling an aide at a White House reception with prominent black leaders, "What's he doing here? Get them out of here!" while having Davis and his wife escorted out. You see, Davis was married at the time to actress May Britt, a white woman, and Kennedy didn't want to risk alienating Southern Democrats by being photographed with an interracial couple.

"Sammy Davis wrote a book called Yes, I Can. I sent him a wire and said, 'No, you can't,' " Frank Sinatra would joke on stage, but JFK's shabby treatment of Davis was no joke — and no profile in courage for civil rights.

Given Obama's appropriation of Sammy's book title (and his song), one would think he knows that.

H.R. 874: FOOD MONITORING & FOODBORNE DISEASE MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

United States Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) has proposed legislation, H.R. 875, which would literally prohibit Americans from raising food for themselves, their families, or even for their animals, without the uber alles national government's permission! Extreme statement?

H.R. 875, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (FSMA) sounds innocent enough at first blush, with language purporting to "protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes."

`(A) IN GENERAL- In carrying out the initiative, the Secretary shall provide financial support to smart grid demonstration projects in urban, suburban, tribal, and rural areas, including areas where electric system assets are controlled by nonprofit entities and areas where electric system assets are controlled by investor-owned utilities.'.
(2) By amending subparagraph (C) of section 1304(b)(3) to read as follows:
`(C) FEDERAL SHARE OF COST OF TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS- The Secretary shall provide to an electric utility described in subparagraph (B) or to other parties financial assistance for use in paying an amount equal to not more than 50 percent of the cost of qualifying advanced grid technology investments made by the electric utility or other party to carry out a demonstration project.'.


(3) By inserting after section 1304(b)(3)(D) the following new subparagraphs:

`(E) AVAILABILITY OF DATA- The Secretary shall establish and maintain a smart grid information clearinghouse in a timely manner which will make data from smart grid demonstration projects and other sources available to the public. As a condition of receiving financial assistance under this subsection, a utility or other participant in a smart grid demonstration project shall provide such information as the Secretary may require to become available through the smart grid information clearinghouse in the form and within the timeframes as directed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall assure that business proprietary information and individual customer information is not included in the information made available through the clearinghouse.

VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN NEW MEXICO TENTH AMENDMENT RESOLUTION CONVENTION

We've pulled our premier show for tonight.  THE NEW MEXICO TENTH AMENDMENT RESOLUTION CONVENTION ustream.tv show won't be aired tonight.  We encountered difficulty combining Janet's and my webcams on the ustream.tv site.  We had wanted to air a discussion of the New Mexico Tenth Amendment.  I decided to can the show for tonight.

 We would like a working format, one preferably that allows to call in and join the discussion.  We'll try to work out the bugs and get a show on ustream.tv.  

 I've been researching state Tenth Amendment resolutions and applying this information to constructing one for New Mexico.  We've had only two people express interest in this project: Bob Wright, formally of the New Mexico Minute Men and Marcia Stirman of the Otero County Republican Women.

I emailed Rep. Dennis Roch, District 67, author of a New Mexico Cease and Desist bill.  Rep. Roch either doesn't read his emails or isn't going to respond, as I haven't had a response from him since I sent the email out last week.

With very little interest in this project, I see no reason to push for holding a convention.  ORF will keep you informed on this project.  Thanks to Bob and Marcia for their immediate response last week and their support.

SMART GRID V. THE FOURTH AMENDMENT

Amendment IV of the U.S. Constitution:

ORF poses the question: Is SMART GRID a violation of the Fourth Amendment?  Does a global computer network that actively scans your person, houses, papers or personal documents or drivers licenses and property constitute an unreasonable search or an illegal search?  Did you give up your Fourth Amendment right upon purchasing an item with a Smart Grid chip in it and willingly took the item into your home?  This is gearing up to be an organic U.S. Constitutional fight against a global conglomerate.

RFD AMERICA: SMART GRID TELLS ALL ABOUT YOU

"What’s in your closet?

According to IBM, one of the two corporations which will receive most of the money (the other is GE),

The world is becoming instrumented. By 2010, there will be a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten-millionth of a cent.

The world is becoming interconnected. With a trillion networked things—cars, roadways, pipelines, appliances, pharmaceuticals and even livestock—the amount of information created by those interactions grows exponentially.

All things are becoming intelligent. Algorithms and powerful systems can analyze and turn those mountains of data into actual decisions and actions that make the world work better. Smarter.

Did you catch that? Smart Grid will allow the government to collect information about you, your habits, and possessions. All they need are a few sensors to know what is in your refrigerator; how long you spend in the bathroom; if you smoke in your home; if you drink alcohol in your home; and how many people are in your home or business at any one time. Science fiction? Don’t bet on it. IBM knows different."

IBM:"How is this possible?

First, the world is becoming instrumented. Imagine, if you can, a billion transistors for every human being. We're almost there. Sensors are being embedded everywhere: in cars, appliances, cameras, roads, pipelines…even in medicine and livestock.

Second, our world is becoming interconnected. Soon, there will be two billion people on the Internet—but systems and objects can now "speak" to each other, as well. Think of a trillion connected and intelligent things, and the oceans of data they will produce.

Third, all of those instrumented and interconnected things are becoming intelligent. They are being linked to powerful new backend systems that can process all that data, and to advanced analytics capable of turning it into real insight, in real time."

Constitutional Republic (of our type) – Three wolves and two sheep with a law against voting on dinner; and the sheep are armed.

He said the federal government has over reached their authority and told people when the feds summon them to court, all they need to do is write a letter asking for specifics as to why they think they have that authority and cite the codes. They never do. If we happen to show up in their court thinking we're going to get a fair shake, we're putting ourselves under their authority without knowing it and they have us under their control. It was very enlightening!

NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT

The NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT is on line, and immediately printable in full color. This information is easy to forward, assisting livestock producers world wide to defend their assets and family farms from invasive government enforcements. Michelle Reid sums it up, "We’re out here branding cattle, worrying about our best horse going blind, when all of a sudden the USDA is working at mach speed filling our saddle bags with heavy NAIS rocks."

The NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT contains quotes and information from trustworthy journalists, real cattle producers, reliable attorneys, and USDA employees. Research starts with the Basics by attorney Judith McGeary, then NAIS Western Horseman polling data, documentation of the USDA conspiracy to "sell" NAIS, and the deceptive international political entanglements. It documents cost analysis, flawed thought that was conceived either from a desire to destroy the livestock industry or just plain ignorance of food production, animal health and food safety. Producers are totally mystified why NAIS is promoted by USDA with proposed budgets up to $400,000,000 to "make every livestock producer comply."

Print the KIT and be well informed. Inform everyone. Inform government employees who have never considered the pain and distress they will inflict on livestock owners if NAIS is fully enforced. Share the KIT with veterinarians and county extension agents. For printing go towww.naisSTINKS.com and touch NAIS TOOLKIT. Print PDF and select a 2-sided print text.

A valuable chapter is provided by the Australian Beef Association, chairman Brad Bellinger. It clearly documents the giant $350,000,000 cost of their ID system called NLIS. Five years ago producers were told NLIS would assist Australians in improved export sales, but now, fully operational, NLIS has ABA selling their beef for the second lowest prices of any major export beef country. All globally enforced ID schemes are proving to be profitable only to the governments, and ID equipment providers.

The 14 sheet (front and back) page KIT contains selected articles from www.naisSTINKS.com. Mark this site for 85 published articles equipping producers to protect themselves from a run-away government scheme. NAIS is not fully operational and can be truncated. Once a government enforcement program is fully active, the citizenry can never stop funding it. Use the KIT to protect yourself, your family and your grandchildren from NAIS enforcements, fines and Gestapo penalties.

"A Senate committee Thursday approved a bill that would allow illegal immigrants in Colorado to receive in-state tuition despite arguments it was unfair and would provide false hope."

ORF: DOES COLORADO OFFER IN-STATE TUITION FOR VETS RETURNING HOME FROM SERVICE, OR DO THE VETS HAVE TO WAIT TO ESTABLISH RESIDENCY?

FOREIGN TRADE ZONES, PERSONS & SPINNING THE LAW

ORF)  I've been pondering the creation of a new sub-class of persons residing in our nation illegally.  We are all aware of thetaxpayer entitlements people who have entered this country illegally expect and demand.  Elected officials are more than willing to gain political expediency at the expense of American sovereignty.  American employers are equally more than willing to exploit this sub-class of illegal persons living in our nation.  Why not spin the law, much like the politicians and unethical employers have, and create FORIEGN TRADE ZONES where these illegal persons work?  It's a stretch, but we've seen the 'stretch' in all things political that diminish American sovereignty.

Loophole in "Stimulus" - Illegal Aliens Will Get Tax Credits

"...Most U.S. taxpayers earning under $200,000 a year will receive tax credits amounting to $400 for an individual and $800 for a married couple filing jointly.

Though "nonresident alien individuals" are not supposed to receive the credits, the federal tax code defines a "resident alien" as anyone who meets the "substantial presence test." Under IRS code substantial presence is defined as (1) having lived in the U.S. at least 31 days in the previous year; and (2) at least 183 days over the previous 3 years. Thus, any illegal alien who entered the U.S. prior to May 2008 will be eligible for the tax credit.

Eligibility for the tax credit is also extended to people filing returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security numbers. While not all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, many are. Language that specifically excludes ITIN holders from receiving other tax benefits is deliberately missing from the language of the stimulus bill."

EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT: CARD CHECK

Title click to go the HERITAGE FOUNDATION website.

From the Heritage Foundation:

"Card Check and Voting Privacy 

The ability to vote in privacy with a secret ballot is a fundamental American right. It is a right that some in Congress now want to take away from American workers. The Employee Free Choice Act would strip workers of their right to vote on joining a union. Instead workers would be required to publicly sign a card in front of union organizers, leaving them vulnerable to threats, harassment, and abuse. It would also require companies to go to binding arbitration. This would lead to massive government wage setting in the economy while taking away newly unionized workers ability to vote to ratify collective bargaining agreements. "

As heard on the Peter Boyles show/KHOW-AM.

"House Bill 1422, otherwise known as the "Hero's Promise Act," would provide in-state tuition waivers for family members of fallen soldiers for up to four years.

Shafer says, "To be able to pay homage to those soldiers who are fallen by providing a future for the rest of their family is imperative for our nation's success."

ORF says: I can hear the opposition to this bill, 'This bill is discriminatory and disregards the plight of those unfortunate individuals who due to circumstances beyond their control can't serve in the U.S. Armed Forces."

THE UNITED STATES ISN'T A COUNTRY - ITS A CORPORATION

Title click to read this informative article by Lisa Guliani.

"The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia." This is also known as the "Act of 1871." What does this mean? Well, it means that Congress, under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land."

"n essence, this Act formed the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Note the capitalization, because it is important. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, moved right in and shoved the original "organic" version of the Constitution into a dusty corner. With the "Act of 1871," our Constitution was defaced in the sense that the title was block-capitalized and the word "for" was changed to the word "of" in the title. The original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers, was written in this manner:

"The Constitution for the united states of America".

The altered version reads: "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It is the corporate constitution. It is NOT the same document you might think it is. The corporate constitution operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it is the same parchment that governs the Republic. It absolutely is not."

Deja Vu All Over Again - Another Obama Pick With Problems

Richardson's pay-for-play allegations weren't enough? Here we go again. Ad nauseum...Richardson, Geithner, Daschle and others I have already forgotten. Click on the title for a new appointee, yippy skippy, this time a czar. We recently posted on this Urban Czar and whether or not we even need mayors any more and this article asks the same question and more.

Is anyone else starting to get the idea that our brilliant president is making these picks on purpose to create smoke screens?

Also, keep an eye on Kathleen Sebelius nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services. People I know in Kansas are already celebrating her departure as govenor. I told them to keep the champagne corked because we in New Mexico got ours back. Better for the country I am sure.

COMEDY CENTRAL STARS THREATEN TO WALK WHEN FACED WITH CUTS

I found this little diddy while researching news on the economy.  Hollywood stars routinely scramble for face-time in front of the camera advocating for social reform and liberal political platforms.  Support for liberal reform and re-distribution of wealth have always been talking points for media stars wanting to advance their images as socially aware and empathetic to the plight of struggling low-income Americans and 3rd world nations.  Current economic crisis dynamics are hitting all Americans in the pocketbook as fears of another depression in the United States forces cutbacks in individual spending and earning; except for the stars of the Sarah Silverman show.  When told by Comedy Central execs the stars of the Silverman show would be facing cutbacks, due to a drop in ad revenue, the stars squealed in protest and threantened to walk.

"The show's executive producers -- Silverman, Dan Sterling and Rob Schrab -- have threatened to quit after the cable network told them the budget for their series would be slashed by more than 20%."

"At the center of the holdup is the proposed budget for Season 3. Citing cuts imposed on the network by parent company MTV Networks, Comedy Central had proposed that the trio bring back the Writers Guild of America Award-nominated show at about $850,000 an episode, sources said, down from the $1.1 million an episode for the show's second season."
