I wish people could be made to understand this!

We get it. They will get it soon enough.

Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"

The biggest threat to America is Americans themselves. People have turned away from God almighty and have allowed devil worshiping Talmudic Jews to take control of America. If America turns back to God, throws the criminal Talmudic Jews out of the nation and seizes their ill-gotten gains, America will return to prosperity.

God is always good!

a fact of reality that the debt cannot be controlled as long as uncontrolled military spending is on autopilot.

There is mostly silence before the storm.

America has substantial human and resource potential so maybe what's needed is the extra trillion to get people motivated and organized to build decent homes for themselves along with an energy conserving high-speed rail system throughout the continent to South America, Alaska, then to Asia via the proposed Russian under-sea tunnel to move people and fresh produce. Could be Helicopter Ben is onto something. This might not generate the kind of wealth needed to pay for imported oil but then it's not really needed because most "trips" to work, for groceries, etc., can be handled in much more efficient, energy-conserving ways. Just need managerial talent like the kind that's running Exxon, Chevron, Valspar. GE and others that have been operating at a profit for decades.

Rep. Blackburn babbles on about how “Homeland Security” cannot be cut – when we inspect a minuscule portion of the tremendous flow of cargo that comes into this country each and every day. What kind of homeland security is that?

That was taken care of with the "Yemen Cargo Bomb". Now that aspect will be ramped up for untold billions of dollars to a defense contractor lobbyist.

Mark

If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower

“When Moses had brought his people near to the Promised Land he sent out scouts to explore it. They returned with rapturous words for its beauties and its fruits, whereupon the people were shrill with joy, until the scouts said: ‘The only thing is, this land is inhabited by very fierce men." Moses said: "Come. Let us fall upon them and take the land. It is ours from the Lord.’ “At that the people turned bitterly on Moses, and said: ‘What a prophet you have turned out to be! So the land is ours if we can take it? We needed no prophet to tell us that.’” “No doubt the people know they can have their Republic back if they want it enough to fight for it and to pay the price. The only point is that no leader has yet appeared with the courage to make them choose.”

Isaiah 52:3For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

11Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

Now, after REDEMPTION WITHOUT MONEY......Take away the power of the private banksters known as the Federal Reserve to print our money:

Lesson on Money vs. Currency http://www.uhuh.com/unreal/moncur.htm

"Money Is Imaginary.....[read]

"....2. Money is NOT currency. Currency is NOT money.

That is the second concept to grasp. Currency merely represents money.

Since money is unreal, it would be convenient to have something real to represent it. We need something we can get our hands on to use in our daily lives. So, we used our human mind and invented currency to represent money. Now we have something real that we can hold in our hands and use to exchange value. But beware of a pitfall. It is much too easy to start calling currency money, and that is where we get into a heap of economic trouble. People get to thinking that printing currency is printing money, but that is far from the truth. Printing currency is just that: Simply printing ink on paper. Currency is printed on paper or minted from cheap metal.

Money is created, not printed.

We can't print something that is imaginary.

By their own words, banklords create money by making an entry in a ledger, usually in a computer. That is all in the world there is to creating money. When you get a loan from your bank, the banker enters the loan amount in his ledger. Then he enters that amount in your checking account and poof! That money was created out of nothing, just like that. Then you can start writing checks. That banker created that money out of nothing, and now you must pay him interest for it. On the national scale, that crafty little trick has created the national debt. Read Bank to learn about interest free banking that is more in line with our Constitution. We should not be obligated to pay a private banker.

Well, now, let’s stop to think about that for awhile. If money is created by making an entry in a ledger, then that money must be imaginary. Indeed, money is totally unreal! The real paper and metal that we hold in our hands is currency that only represents unreal money.

By the way, coins are currency. Paper bills and metal coins are currency. Please remember that important fact.

The amount of currency we have depends on the amount of money in the economy. If we are short on money, we run short on currency. Operating behind closed doors to secret chambers, the private, billionaire banklords totally control the amount and direction of money in our economy. In turn, that limits the amount of currency we can get our hands on. They never allow us to have enough money for us to be prosperous. This will all make sense when you realize that private bankers can not exist without debt - our debt. The banklords must keep us people in debt if those banklords are to survive and maintain a tight control over us people and our economy. Those closed doors to the secret chambers that the private, billionaire banklords hide behind are on the Federal Reserve System, their phony store front hiding the biggest scam in recorded history. And, brother, are we ever paying for it big time. Their share is the national debt. We get to pay for it in federal taxes and miserable living standards. Thanks a lot, you guys.

So, what do we do about it?

Well, our Constitution directs our Congress to create our money for us. Since Congress is we people, if Congress created our money, we wouldn’t owe anyone even one dime for it. We would not have any national debt at all. But in 1913, Congress gave that privilege of creating money away to private banklords, who really pulled a fast one over on Congress. As you no doubt have observed in the past, private banklords do not give money away, so they charge us for creating our money. The current bill is the national debt. How stupid can everyone get?

Even first grade kids can figure out that if they make something, they can keep it. They made it, so they don’t have to pay anyone for it. It is theirs and nobody can take it from them. And so with our money. If we make it, we won’t have to pay anyone for it. It is ours and no one can take it from us, not even the United Nations. So why in thunder are we paying $trillions to private banklords? Any fool can make an entry in a computer ledger. I thought that was why we had the Treasury Department.

First graders usually can not separate the real from the unreal. Both exist as real in their young minds. All imaginary things are real things to them. If father pretends to break mother’s neck, the child will scream bloody murder, for that child does not understand that kind of play. That pretend act was real and horrifying to that child.

But we adults do have one thing over the first graders. We have the mature ability to tell the difference between real things and unreal things. All we have to do is use it. Unfortunately, to the tune of our national debt, our Congress is living in an imaginary world of make believe, first grade level. They think that money is real. The even think that currency is money. As a result, the banklords just go right on playing their make believe fantasy with them and continue to grasp more and more control over all of us. That has to be the height of gullibility. The problem is, that game is deadly, for those merciless banklords are destroying our government and mentally enslaving us people, all for their mercenary greed.

Congress MUST cease borrowing and CREATE all reasonably needed money.

That is what must be done about it.

All else will fail until that first step is taken.

This is one concept where the first graders have it all over most adults. The kids can figure out that if they make something themselves, they will not have to pay for it. They made it and they can keep it. No one can take it from them. That is what we people must do to get that initial step taken.

We people must stand as one, mature America and force the first graders out of Congress.

We require mature adults in there that will support us people, not the billionaire banklords’ game of fantasy.

But to be mature, we people must understand and believe that money is totally unreal, and that currency merely represents money. Otherwise the billionaire banklords will use their mainstream media to brainwash us into thinking their thoughts again, and we will be right back to where we started - working for the banklords for free.

I call it mental slavery.

After all, we are working, using our mind, to pay homage to the banklords for a debt not of our making. Sure sounds like slavery to me. Think about it. Unless you like donating about half of your labor time to the banklords like you are doing currently, you darn well better climb on our Congress and tell them what’s up. Wasted labor and the national debt are absolutely insane.

The really good part of it all is that it is so very simple to fix. Simply tell Congress to quit their infernal borrowing and create needed money debt free. How much simpler can we get? And if Congress can’t seem to get the point, recall them from office. Then vote in someone who has some of our kind of grown-up smarts.

You have that power.

So, unless you like working as a slave,

you better do it!

NOW !!!

Write that letter. Make that phone call.

You don't have to wait until election time to do it..."

The real fun will begin soon for the rest of the world. When the U.S. folds up, that means no more foreign aid to nations for them to play nice with each other.

No more U.S. military defense for most of western Europe, South Korea, Japan, Israel, and a few other nations.

It means no more Chinese goods bought by the U.S.

It means no more Saudi oil bought by the U.S.

No more U.S. money to the drug lords of the world.

The U.S. population has been the economic Atlas holding up the world, keeping the world together.

With the U.S. no longer a factor, we will start seeing wars likely pop up around the world in the resulting power vacuum left by the U.S.

Likely several domestic skirmishes as well. Do you really think the inner cities are going to remain quiet when the welfare checks start bouncing?

Nope. Interesting how the most disarmed parts of the nation are the major cities were the serious trouble will begin.
