<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #cc3300; font-weight: bold"><img title="obama" alt="obama" src="http://admin.moguling.com/Upload/180people.com/manchuria.jpg" width="151" height="239" complete="complete" /></span></p><p><span style="color: #cc3300; font-weight: bold">The Manchurian President</span></p><p></p><p>President Obama has deep ties to an anti-American extremist connections who have been the avenue to&nbsp;not only in building his political career but in crreating current White House policy, charges a new book.</p><p>&quot;The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists,&quot; is set officially to be released on May 3.</p><p>The book brings to light an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and other radicals working both inside and outside the administration to draft and advance current White House policy goals.</p><p>With more than 800 citations, the brand-new, autographed title from Aaron Klein bills itself as the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's political background and radical ties. Klein's co-author is historian and researcher Brenda J. Elliott.</p><p>&quot;The Manchurian President&quot; contains potentially explosive information not only about President Obama but also concerning other officials in the White House, including top czars and senior advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.</p><p>The book also includes an extensive investigation into Obama's own background which has been purposely hidden . The work uncovers, among many other things, Obama's early years, including his previously overlooked early childhood ties to a radical, far-left church. The book provides copious new details about Obama's deep ties to the unrepentant Weatherman Underground terrorist group founder William Ayers and about the president's boyhood years in Indonesia, populated with most Muslims in the world.</p><p>Of all Obama's radical associates from the past, few received more attention or were as shocking as his connection to Ayers. The book uncovers for the first time where and how Obama first met Ayers – and it is much earlier than previously believed.</p><p>&quot;The Manchurian President&quot; also reveals, exclusively, important aspects of Obama's carefully covered-up college years, with new details of his student career at Occidental College and later at Columbia University.</p><p>Obama's associations with the Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and black political extremists are also revealed, with extensive new information on the subjects.</p><p>Also detailed are Obama's deep ties to ACORN, which are much more extensive than previously documented elsewhere. The book crucially describes how a socialist-led, ACORN-affiliated union helped facilitate Obama's political career and now exerts major influence in the White House.</p><p>In one chapter, the book unmasks the extremists among Obama's &quot;czars&quot; and other top advisers, including new information linking Axelrod and Jarrett to communist activists.</p><p>The many issues pertaining to Obama's eligibility to be president are carefully examined and given a much more extensive analysis than in previous works, including questions about Obama's birth documentation and whether or not he legally qualifies as a &quot;natural-born citizen&quot; according to the U.S. Constitution.</p><p>&quot;The Manchurian President&quot; also exposes how Obama's health-care policy, masked by moderate populist rhetoric, was pushed along and partially crafted by extremists, some of whom reveal in their own words that their principal aim is to achieve corporate socialist goals and a vast increase in government powers.</p><p>&quot;I believe this work is crucial to Americans from across the political spectrum,&quot; says Klein, &quot;including mainstream Democrats who should be alarmed that their party has been hijacked by an extreme-left fringe bent on permanently changing the party to fit its radical agenda.</p><p>&quot;Indeed, this book will document, with new information, Obama's own involvement with a socialist party whose explicit goal was to infiltrate and eventually take over the Democratic Party and mold it into a socialist organization,&quot; Klein claims.</p><p>Klein began investigating Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign and broke major national stories. He first exposed the politician's association with Ayers in a widely circulated WND article.</p><p>That story prompted the Nation magazine to lament, via the CBS News website, that &quot;mainstream reporters now call the Obama campaign to ask about Klein's articles.&quot;</p><p>It was in a WABC Radio interview with Klein that Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to Hamas, &quot;endorsed&quot; Obama for president, generating world headlines and sparking controversy. Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain and Obama repeatedly traded public barbs over Hamas' positive comments.</p><p>Klein was among the first reporters to expose that Obama's &quot;green jobs&quot; czar, Van Jones, founded a communist organization and called for &quot;resistance&quot; against the U.S. government. The theme was picked up and expanded upon by the Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck, leading to Jones' resignation last September.</p><p>Co-author Brenda J. Elliott is a historian, author and investigative researcher known for her blogging during the 2008 presidential election about Ayers, Tony Rezko and other controversial figured linked to Obama. Since 1988, Elliott has been responsible for a number of historical projects, has won an award by Project Censored for her work and has been named &quot;One of the Intriguing People&quot; by Central Florida magazine.</p><p>The introduction to &quot;The Manchurian President&quot; relates: &quot;Barack Obama is backed by and deeply tied to an anti-American fringe nexus that, as this book will show, was instrumental not only in mentoring Obama and helping him to build his political career, but essentially in overthrowing the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and in securing and powerfully influencing Obama's presidency.</p><p>&quot;As will be seen, these radical associates not only continue to influence Obama and White House strategy, but some are directly involved in creating the very policies intended to undermine or radically transform the United States of America.&quot;&nbsp; Worldnetdaily.com</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935071874?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=180wedblo247w-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1935071874">The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists</a><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=180wedblo247w-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1935071874" width="1" height="1" complete="complete" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; margin: 0px; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" /></p><p>Other bookks by Aaron Klein:<br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935071084?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=180wedblo247w-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1935071084">The Late Great State of Israel: How Enemies Within and Without Threaten the Jewish Nation's Survival</a><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=180wedblo247w-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1935071084" width="1" height="1" complete="complete" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; margin: 0px; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" /><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979045126?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=180wedblo247w-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0979045126">Schmoozing With Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal Their Global Plans? to a Jew!</a><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=180wedblo247w-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0979045126" width="1" height="1" complete="complete" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; margin: 0px; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" /><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812974638?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=180wedblo247w-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0812974638">Striking Back: The 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and Israel's Deadly Response</a><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=180wedblo247w-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0812974638" width="1" height="1" complete="complete" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; margin: 0px; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" /></p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Is There Really Affordable Healthcare That We Don't Know About?]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.180people.com/2010/April/Is-There-Really-Affordable-Healthcare-That-We-Dont-Know-About.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" /><img alt="" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" /><img title="healthcare" alt="healthcare" src="http://admin.moguling.com/Upload/180people.com/surgeon.jpg" style="width: 156px; height: 234px;" /><br /><br />This is a piece of the healthcare debate the mainstream media has totally missed, but internet radio is buzzing this week and breaking this story. <br /><br />This is just a taste, but on <a target="_self" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/freedomizerradio%20">Wednesday April 28 </a>one company is going to give new information about what the government is doing to purposely destroy private practice doctors.<br /><br />This is the truth that Big Insurance companies and our Big Government doesn't want you to know. Read this and you'll learn how the free market system came up with a solution to healthcare, and how Big Insurance and our government has stealthily misdirected people away from it under the cover of darkness.<br />  <br />Have you wondered why it is that Big Insurance has been virtually silent on the healthcare bill, and why it's non-insurance related companies talking about how damaging the healthcare bill is? <br /><br />While government seeks to restrict and &quot;correct&quot; the problems in insurance companies, forcing insurance premiums upward, government has also worked to silence opposition from Big Insurance.  A nationwide mandate to purchase healthcare was included in this bill. Big Insurance is thrilled with the new customers while Big Government is slowly takes control of our healthcare system. <br /><br />The stories in the media have been as follows: One side says, &quot;Insurance is bad. They deny people with pre-existing conditions, deny claims, deny procedures, so government has to step up and help those that are sick and denied.&quot; The other side of the coin argues, &quot;Government is trying to take over our healthcare system, limit available care, introduce socialism, etc.&quot; <br /><br />The problem is NOT what they are doing, it is what they are not telling you! Both of these over-sized power hungry entities are trying to point the finger at each other so you never see the 800 pound gorilla in the room! There are FREE MARKET COMPANIES that have gone in and fixed most of the problems with Big Insurance without government intervention. <br /><br />There are a handful of companies that have lead the way over the last decade in healthcare reform. Haven't heard of them? That's because the media blacklists them, and insurance and legislators work together to try to legislate them away. This handful of campanies is still fighting dilligently behind the scenes trying to help Americans have a fair stake at healthcare. <br /><br />We have all heard stories of children who cannot get healthcare because of a pre-existing condition and need surgery, but they are denied a better life. What you are never told is that the child did not have to be denied. I, personally, have one of these companies for my healthcare and they are refusing to be silent anymore. They have decided to be fearless in speaking out even though they know they will be attacked. <br /><br />Renco Direct announced a media blitz to tell the truth to the American people. Did you know they give <a target="_self" href="http://www.reasonablypricedhealthcare.com">healthcare to an entire family for only $88 per month</a>? <br /><br /><ul><li>They NEVER deny pre-existing conditions. </li><li>Never deny ANY procedure. </li><li>They never drop coverage or never raise rates. </li><li>They have saved people more than 80% on surgeries. One gentleman had a triple bypass (one of the bigger surgeries a man can face) and the bill was more than $76,000; however, he only paid $6,900 for it through Renco, and it only cost his family less than $100 per month for the plan. </li><li>There were no rate increases after, no deductibles, etc. I have seen the medical bill and they will freely show it to anyone. </li></ul>Big insurance doesn't want you to know about them. It threatens their stranglehold on healthcare, and government is silent because they've been in bed with Big Insurance the whole time. Don't believe me? Well, how about this! <br /><br />Ten years ago, as these companies started to make a footprint, Big Insurance pushed California legislators to pass a bill to exclude this new type of program from being sold in California. It took two years of fighting to have it reversed. <br /><br />Did you ever wonder why Californians only have five insurance companies they can choose from for their healthcare? Five!!! For a whole state? Tell me government is not helping them by keeping competition out.<br />Florida was more clever. They passed legislation to force these new companies to limit the total price of their programs to only $30 per month! $30 is all they can sell their program for?!! How much is your healthcare costing you? <br /><br />This basically forced the legitimate companies providing quality service out of the state. All that was left were the illegitimate scammers willing to say they could do it for $30 per month, then, once caught, the media and insurance and government were able to glorify themselves in victory for &quot;saving&quot; the country from bad programs. <br /><br />Why would Big Government do that? <br />Because their plan all along has been to drive insurance prices up through legislation and lack of competition, making it easier for a healthcare take over like you're seeing now. <br /><br />When your insurance is more than $1000 per month it's a lot easier to succumb to government intervention. Otherwise why not open up health insurance across state lines just like car insurance is? <br />Still not convinced? <br /><br />The CEO of Renco Direct is speaking out about what is going on. I heard they will be on <a target="_self" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/freedomizerradio">Freedomizer radio</a>, a premiere and large internet radio station, this Wednesday at 9PM Central time, 7PM Pacific. Listen for yourself. <br /><br />Please pass this on to everyone you know.<br /><br />People need to know they had a choice and that government has misled us for their own agenda. I have never heard this even discussed as an option on either side of mainstream media.<br />&nbsp;<br />Help get this story out there, forward this to your local media and ask your local radio and TV media why they are asleep on this story and not doing their jobs in telling us all sides. They should have at least included these companies in their discussions and shown us why they thought they were not a solution or used them as a Free Market solution. <br /><br />If you agree and want the truth, forward this to everyone!!! Liberty can only exist in a atmosphere of open and honest debate. If you don't agree, it's too late, you're already in chains. <br /><br />It's important to pass this on, as the company will probably be much more politically correct when they explain their side. The only way people will hear the unrestrained truth of this is if you pass this on and get involved, bombard your local media, and demand the truth. <br /><br />I know there are a handful of companies that do this, but I only have experience with <a target="_self" href="http://www.reasonablypricedhealthcare.com">Renco Direct</a>, so I'm including their website for those that want to learn more. Their CEO started it because of his sick mother. The story is truly inspirational. I'm sure some of the other companies are good as well. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A Review of Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.180people.com/2010/April/A-Review-of-Jim-Tuckers-Bilderberg-Diary.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://admin.moguling.com/Upload/180people.com/Bilderberg_large.gif" alt="bilderberg" title="bilderberg" /><br /><br />If you've never heard the word &quot;Bilderberg&quot; don't feel you are uninformed. Some of the best-read people have no knowledge of this organization. For more than 50 years, acting as a global ruling elite, Bilderberg's very name and activities have remained largely hidden in the shadows, despite the immense influence of these annual meetings. In 1992 journalist Jim Tucker set out to discover the names of attendees and actual subjects discussed at the Bilderberg meetings, and here gives his account, a memorable and panoramic journey that lays bare the realities of modern international power politics. <br /><br />In Bilderberg Diary, Jim Tucker lays out, for the first time, his entire remarkable history of covering Bilderberg (and its Trilateral and CFR allies), literally infiltrating Bilderberg meetings, procuring their private documents, and working relentlessly to shine the spotlight of public scrutiny on Bilderberg's affairs. Tucker's prose, first hand, folksy and colorful, will introduce you to the little-known arena of the Bilderberg elite.<br /><br />This volume is a memorable and panoramic journey that will lay bare the realities behind modern-day international power politics in a way that you've never seen before. And the book includes several representative lists of Bilderberg membership over the past several years, more than 80 fascinating on-the-spot photographs of the Bilderbergers in action and photo reproductions of actual Bilderberg documents secured by Tucker.<br /><br />If you've ever heard the mass media claim that concerns about Bilderberg are &quot;just some crazy conspiracy theory,&quot; you'll definitely think otherwise as you travel with Jim Tucker into the world of Bilderberg.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0974548421?ie=UTF8&tag=180wedblo247w-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0974548421">Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary: Reporter's 25year Battle to Shine the Light on the world Shadow Government</a><img width="1" height="1" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=180wedblo247w-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0974548421" alt="" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Below is Bilderberg Diary's Table of Contents</span>:<br /><br />Preface: What Is Bilderberg<br />Chapter 1: The Early Years<br />Chapter 2: Quebec, 1983<br />Chapter 3: Saltsjobaden, 1984<br />Chapter 4: White Plains, 1985<br />Chapter 5: Gleneagles, 1986<br />Chapter 6: Cernobbio, 1987<br />Chapter 7: Innsbruck, 1988<br />Chapter 8: La Toja, 1989<br />Chapter 9: Glen Cove, 1990<br />Chapter 10: Baden-Baden, 1991<br />Chapter 11: Evian, 1992<br />Chapter 12: Vouliagmeni, 1993<br />Chapter 13: Helsinki, 1994<br />Chapter 14: Burgenstock, 1995<br />Chapter 15: King City, 1996<br />Chapter 16: Lake Lanier, 1997<br />Chapter 17: Turnberry, 1998<br />Chapter 18: Sintra, 1999<br />Chapter 19: Brussels, 2000<br />Chapter 20: Gothenburg, 2001<br />Chapter 21: Chantilly, 2002<br />Chapter 22: Versailles, 2003<br />Chapter 23: Stresa, 2004<br />Chapter 24: Rottach-Egern, 2005<br />Afterword: Masters of the Universe by Willis A.

<title><![CDATA[Conservative Book Review: "The Shadow Elite" by Janine R. Wedel]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.180people.com/2010/April/Conservative-Book-Review-The-Shadow-Elite-by-Janine-R-Wedel-1.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http:///"><img alt="Premium Image" src="http://www.buzzflash.com/store/images/1904_200.jpg" complete="complete" /></a>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #cc0033; font-weight: bold">&quot;Shadow Elite: How the Worlds New Power Brokers Undermine Democracy, Government, and the Free Market&quot;</span> <span style="font-style: italic; color: #666666">by Janine R. Wedel</span></p>Author and Professor of International Commerce and Policy in the School of Public Policy at George Mason University, Janine Wedel uses&nbsp;her expertise in Eastern European communist governments, (Collision and Collusion) to pull together a shocking expose of those dismantling U.S. democracy from the inside. She labels&nbsp;the new breed of U.S. political operators &quot;flexions,&quot; who find individual roles as lobbyists, government insiders or elected officials and meet&nbsp;into a single network &quot;snaking through official and private organizations, creating a loop that is closed to democratic processes.&quot; <p>In the book, she explores how governments and administrations come and go, but a new breed of power brokers always seem to pop up just where the action is. These players make public decisions without public input--in realms from domestic to foreign and financial policy--and take us into a democracy and accountability-challenged era. This core group of flexions includes (neo-conservative cold-warrior Richard Perle, retired four-star army general Barry R. McCaffrey, Obama financial advisor Larry Summers, etc.) </p><p>They have been involved in four transformational 20th and 21st century developments: government outsourcing and deregulation, the end of the Cold War, the growth of information technologies, and &quot;the embrace of 'truthiness.'&quot; </p><p>By wearing several hats at the same time&nbsp;(think tanker, retired military or government official, corporate representative, &quot;objective&quot; expert), Wedel shows how a flexion can gain extraordinary insider knowledge and influence in order to fashion their version of the &quot;truth&quot; which benefits the highest bidder. These flexions not only &quot;co-opt public policy agendas&quot; but &quot;craft policy with their benefactors' purposes in mind.&quot; This fascinating, authoritative wake-up call should satisfy any American who wants a handle on the republic's most successful agents of corruption. </p><p>This book is essential to the&nbsp;understanding how an elite group of powerful people move between government, corporations, Wall Street and &quot;K&quot; Street and ultimately control public policy through control of Congress (through campaign contributions and appeal to fellow elites in office) and appointments to the Executive Branch (think Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner).</p><p>These mostly white males (and some women) view themselves as Masters of the Universe who know what's better for America and the emerging international elite class than the &quot;average Joes,&quot;&nbsp;known as voters in a democracy.</p><p>Wedel's book is so valuable because she doesn't buy into&nbsp;conspiracy theories that can't be proven; instead she provides the facts and describes how this informal group of elitists is constantly moving among the powerful institutions that control public policy, including government.</p><p>Wedel connects the dots and provides needed insight into how U.S. citizens, not a small unelected elite group.</p><p>Much of this can be attributed to the globalized economy where sovereignty takes a second place to multi-national corporate and financial interests. The right wing puts down the United Nations but looks up to&nbsp;the The </p><p>The &quot;Shadow Elite&quot; won't be discussed much in the corporate media, because it is to revealing about&nbsp;how the corporate world and the players who move between business and government largely control our national policies. They make it so Congress and even the President are often unable to do anything but ratify the dictates of the real decision makers, who have little interest in the welfare of the United States. This group instead believes in a mythical international free market that exploits the cheapest labor and lets international financial institutions gamble assets without regulation.</p><p>&quot;SHADOW ELITE is a powerful, searing work about how, over time, public and private have become blurred—three out of four people doing the work of the federal government today are actually private contractors. Self-dealing and corruption have become endemic, with those wielding political influence and getting rich at our expense becoming less and less accountable. With this book, Janine Wedel has provided a magnificent public service&quot;<br />- Charles Lewis, Bestselling author and founder of the Center for Public Integrity</p><p>&quot;We think of networks and flexibility as good and desirable, but Wedel shows their dark side. In a study as fascinating as it is disturbing, she delves into political actors and groupings where influence is not linked to accountability. This is a path-breaking exploration of a part of our world that we really need to understand.&quot;<br />- Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University.&nbsp; </p><p>&quot;Governments and administrations come and go, but not so a new breed of power brokers, who always seem to pop up just where the action is. Wearing different hats, they press their agendas in venue after venue. According to award-winning public policy scholar and anthropologist Janine Wedel, these are the &quot;shadow elite.&quot; </p><p>Shadow Elite gives us the tools we need to expose these players and understand the new system—which we ignore at our own peril.</p><p><br />&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

Beginning and ending with a firm beliefin the Constitution and the power of religious faith, Farah confrontsconservatives and libertarians alike (with special emphasis onliberals) for tearing down the underpinnings of the country's strength,its moral core and the &quot;revolutionary creed of freedom andresponsibility&quot; on which it was founded. <br /><br />The author feels that the federal government is &quot;intentionallyencouraging and spreading immorality&quot; and &quot;turning us into slaves.&quot; Hisproposal for change includes, but is not limited to: abolishing theincome tax and the IRS, withdrawing from all international treaties andinstitutions, repealing all gun laws and ending federal funding forschools, the arts, conservation, housing and agriculture. <br /><br />What's left, you ask? Farah calls for churches and religiousinstitutions to step up to a broader role in molding the nationalcharacter, including actively censoring the entertainment industry andhaving a direct role in education and family life. <br /><br />According to Joseph Farah, Americans are faced with a one-party political system which doesn't listen to its constituents and doesn't care, a media being used as apropaganda machine, and cultural institutions: educational, charitable,entertainment, religious, medical, and others being heavily courted bythe materialistic gods of an all-powerful secular state. <br /><br />Even more important, the crisis this represents cannot be resolvedthrough the political system by electing new politicians to office.Political corruption is so entrenched that voting representatives outof office won't necessarily work. A more profound, long-term, andfundamental shift is called for that rails against the validity of theall-powerful, all-knowing, all-controlling state and calls upon areturn to the values that upon which America founded.<br /><br />Taking America Back is essentially about freedom, the freedom the fore fathers fought for in establishing the United States.Farah shows how, as a nation, we have moved from being freedomfighters to comfort lovers. He calls for all Americans to realize what we are heading towards. A choice needs to be made forthe kind of country in which we want to live, whether we want to liveunder the rule of law or under the rule of judicial government and aconstitution that is a &quot;living document.&quot; For all practicalpurposes this means living without a constitution. Farah believes, &quot;Thechoice is simple: the world of standards and morality, of marriage,order, the rule of law, and accountability to God or the world ofanything goes, aberrant behavior, do-your-own-thing lifestyles, andmoral codes that change with the speed of the latest public opinionpolls.&quot;<br /><br />How can Americans take back their hard won nation? The author says the only waywe can reestablish our freedom—our God-given rights to life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness—is to break the vice grips of a highly centralized government andthe twisted notion that moral relativism holds the answers to discipling people'spassions and behavior.<br /><br />&quot;Taking America Back&quot; brings to light the weaknesses in America's currentpolitical and cultural systems and offers real solutions which are doable which can restore freedom, decency, and justicein the nation. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.takingamericaback2010.com/" target="_self"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take Back America Conference</span></a>; Miami, Florida; September 16-18 2010<br /><br />]]></description>

We can't drill for oil in Alaska. Look at what Obama is doing behind the curtain...oil Drilling in BRAZIL .</p><p>Obama is underwriting off-shore oil drilling in BRAZIL. On a segment of the &quot;Glen Beck Show&quot;&nbsp;on FOX (Fox Cable News) was the&nbsp;following:&nbsp;&quot;Today, even though President Obama&nbsp; is against off-shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive&nbsp;order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil&nbsp; Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire&nbsp;world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil !</p><p>The oil that comes&nbsp; from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China&nbsp;and NOT THE&nbsp;USA! Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of&nbsp;millions of barrels of oil&quot;.</p><p>Wait, it gets more&nbsp; interesting.</p><p>Guess who is the largest&nbsp;individual&nbsp;stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who&nbsp; would benefit most&nbsp;from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George&nbsp;Soros, who&nbsp;was one of President Obama's most generous&nbsp;financial supporter during his&nbsp;campaign.</p><p>Not a word of&nbsp; this transaction was broadcast on any of the other news networks! </p><p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203863204574346610120524166.html " target="_self">Below is the Wall street Journal article to&nbsp;confirm this.</a> </p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

Nancy Pelosi very nervously stated that it would be placed on the back burner for now, but what was really happening behind the Congressional curtain?<br /><br />Apparently something. We know some kind of deal was cooking that somehow will push some version of Obama health care through. What it is no one knows, just like no one knows what's in Obama's transparent healthcare plan.<br /><br />Political corruption? Transparency?&nbsp; <br /><br />Amos 6:12-13: &quot;Can horses run on rocks? Can oxen plow the sea? Stupid even to ask, but no more stupid than what you do when you make a mockery of justice, and corrupt and sour all that should be good and right. And just as stupid is your rejoicing in how great you are, when you are less than nothing! And priding yourself on your own tiny power!&quot;&nbsp;Read what happens next...<br /><br />Congressional members have you forgotten who you represent and that we want to know what's written in the bill before it gets signed by President Obama?<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;<img src="http://www.joetheprogrammer.net/images/insanity.jpg" complete="complete" /><p class="MsoNormal">Barack Obama is a dangerously naive president who fails to understand the evil nature of our brutal and determined adversaries. His policies are visable definitions of insanity. While the American public wrings their hands over 8 years of war our radical enemies see no time limit to accomplishing their sickening causes. They have the mindset to let up on their definitions of insanity.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Abdulmutallab’s father tried to very specifically warn the American embassy about his son, but no investigation took place.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Great Britain, with less serious and less specific information, found a bogus school on the blooming terrorist’s student visa application, denied his application and banned him from entering the country. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Visable Definitions of Insanity: </p>Was the U.S. the second choice for the attack? We’ll never know because our limp Homeland Security Department did nothing to investigate a more obvious threat.<p class="MsoNormal">The Obama administration has failed to recognize that the Fort Hood bomber committed a planned terrorism attack. The enemy is working from within and without and we are twiddling our thumbs.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Guantanamo Bay is still being closed so what better place to bring the prisoners than transfer them to the United States. Terrorists who killed more than 3,000 people on 9/11 have the privilege of a civilian federal trial in New York City when a military tribunal is more appropriate.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Obama failed to address the country on Abdulmutallab’s failed plot for 3 days and played golf, yet Bush caught huge media criticism for continuing to read to school children for 7 minutes on 9/11. </p><p class="MsoNormal">On top of everything else President Obama refuses to describe the world’s condition as a &quot;war&quot; on &quot;terror.&quot; <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">Only with fierce criticism is he now talking tough about keeping America safe.

<description><![CDATA[<img align="right" src="http://www.unitedforpeace.org/img/pic/closeguantanamo.jpg" complete="complete" />A definition of insanity is the current campaign to &quot;Close Guantanamo&quot; by WitnessTorture.org.<br /><br />Witness Against Torture, in combination with other groups, has launched The Fast and Vigil for Justice from Monday, January 11, 2010, which is the eighth anniversary of the opening of the detention facility for Guantánamo prisoners. The protest will continue through January 22, the date by which President Barack Obama pledged to close the detainee holding facility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: #ffcc99">The group makes this statement: “We act to draw attention to and oppose the administration’s trampling on the lives of the men - real people, not merely abstract &quot;others&quot; - at Guantanamo. In all, the Obama administration's handling of detainee issues-- from the reluctance to investigate and prosecute systematic torture, to its defense of indefinite detention—has fallen far short of the soaring rhetoric of his campaign. And now, and as the administration expands the war in Afghanistan and expands operations at the U.S. prison in Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan-- we see more clearly than ever the need for consistent, principled, nonviolent action and witness.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Witness Against Torture is a grassroots organization that formed in December 2005 when 24 activists walked to Guantánamo to visit the prisoners and condemn torture policies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Since then, it has been involved in public education, community outreach, and non-violent civil disobedience. The group held a daily vigil at the White House, encouraging the new President to uphold his commitments to shut down Guantánamo for the first 100 days of the Obama administration. </p><p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime with this group's definition of insanity&nbsp;is the reality of increasing rates of recidivism for transferred Guantanamo prisoners. In recent days, several media outlets have reported on an updated report by the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency saying one in five former detainees have returned to militant activity. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">At least one of the planners behind the Christmas Day bombing plot had been released to Saudi Arabia from Guantanamo Bay in 2007 and ended up rejoining terrorist ranks in Yemen.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">You figure what you think about </span>Witness Against Torture's <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">definition of insanity.</span></p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;<img src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlLA/original/Gossip.jpeg" complete="complete" /><br />Michelle Obama made some little known comments at a July 2008 round table at the University of Missouri, in response to criticism of husband’s campaign speeches, about fatherhood and faith-based initiatives. <p class="MsoNormal">Michelle stated that Ann Dunham, Barack’s mother, was “very young and single” when she gave birth to the future president. Michelle went on to state that her husband understood the struggles of low-income families. &quot;He understands them because he was raised by strong women. He is the product of two great women in his life. His mother and his grandmother,&quot; she said.</p><p class="MsoNormal">&quot;Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister,&quot; Michelle Obama said.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Hmmm… this isn’t the official story told by her husband where he stated that his parents were married at the time of his birth. The story claims that Dunham and Obama, Sr. were married on February 2, 1961. </p><p class="MsoNormal">According to Hawaiian documentation, Obama was born Aug. 4, 1961 to Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. His parents were<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span>separated two years later and were divorced in 1964.</p><p class="MsoNormal">After Obama’s father returned to his homeland of Kenya, Barack only saw his father once before he died in an auto crash in 1982. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Going past the official story, it isn’t really clear if Obama’s parents were really married at all, since there are no records about a legal ceremony, no witnesses and no family members present. To top that none of their friends at the university, they both attended, even knew that they were engaged.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Obama himself, on page 22 of his autobiography &quot;Dreams from My Father,&quot; wrote about his parents' wedding:</p><p class="MsoNormal">“In fact, how and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I've never quite had the courage to explore. There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were fully informed. Just a small civil ceremony, a justice of the peace. The whole thing seems so fragile in retrospect, so haphazard.&quot;</p><p class="MsoNormal">To further complicate the story even more, when Barack Obama Sr. arrived in Hawaii in September 1959 at the age of 23, he already had been married, since age 18, to a Kenyan woman named Kezia Aoko. Aoko was allegedly pregnant with Obama Sr.'s first child when he abandoned her in Africa in 1957.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Eventually Obama Sr. had four children with Aoko. Jerome Corsi, WMD staff writer has concluded that there is no evidence to suggest that he was divorced from Aoko either in Kenya before he left for Hawaii or in Hawaii prior to his supposed marriage with Dunham.</p><p class="MsoNormal">From page 126 of &quot;Dreams from My Father,&quot; Barack Obama Jr. described his father's marriage with Aoko with a quotation made by his mother, &quot;And then there was a problem with your father's first wife … he had told me they were separated, but it was a village wedding, so there was no legal documentation that could show a divorce.&quot;</p><p class="MsoNormal">Dunham was apparently referring to the suggestion of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span>bigamy and that Barack Obama Sr.'s marriage to Aoko was a &quot;village wedding&quot; that possibly would not have been recognized as being legitimate by Hawaiian civil law. Sr. was reportedly a polygamist who had at least four wives, including Ruth Nidesand, whom he met at Harvard and became his wife after following him back to Kenya.</p><p class="MsoNormal">There are also peculiarities concerning the question that Obama Sr. and Dunham never lived at the address listed in the birth announcements in two local papers-6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu. The home located at this address was owned and occupied by longtime Hawaiian residents in 1961.</p><p class="MsoNormal">And there’s more, throughout the time he was in Hawaii, Barack Obama Sr. had his own separate apartment at 625 11th Ave., within walking distance of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he was enrolled in Fall 1959.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This unusual tidbit raises even further questions, in 1961 15 days after delivering the future president Dunham was registered for college classes in Seattle, according to school records.</p><p class="MsoNormal">So many questions, so many peculiarities concerning one child’s birth, particularly since he eventually became President of the United States? It sounds even more far-fetched than a soap opera. </p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>]]></description>

The people were jammed shoulder to shoulder on the National Mall from the Washington Monument to The Capitol. There are definite ways to calculate the figures.<br /><br />Why did the did Obama's chief of staff say that these protesters were wrong? That they don't&nbsp;represent the American public and they were hostile? The Tea party protesters represent 48% of the American public who do not like what Barack Obama is up to. Not one single person was arrested for&nbsp;disruption.<br /><br />Why&nbsp;is mainstream media not talking about the cesspool that is ACORN and the undercover reports?&nbsp;<br /><br />Why is&nbsp;it no one in DC wants to do anything about the corrupt ACORN organization? Could it be that they will not touch the subject because Barack Obama was their legal counsel back when?<br /><br />Why have teacher's unions given money to ACORN? Do the know who they are actually supporting?<br /><br />Why are there people in DC who want to get rid of talk radio and Fox? Could it be that these are the only groups putting forth truth?<br /><br />Listen to talk radio and look at Fox news. Don't be afraid they won't bite but they may scare you!<br />&nbsp;]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[What Are the Concerns About Swine Flu Vaccination?]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.180people.com/2009/September/What-Are-the-Concerns-About-Swine-Flu-Vaccination.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.wired.com/images/article/full/2008/03/swine_flu_400px.jpg" width="387" height="349" /><br /><br />Swine Flu (H1N1 virus) vaccinations will begin in October. Should you get the vaccination? One thing for sure, get educated about the vaccine and then make your decision.<p class="MsoNormal">The Swine Flu vaccine safety tests being fast-tracked under “public health emergency” rules and some questionable ingredients in it have many health experts warning about the risks of taking it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Barbara Loe Fisher, National Vaccine Information Center President, states, “Right now, you need to become educated about vaccination, influenza, vaccine risks and the public health laws in your state. You need to find out what your rights and options are under new public health laws that may require you … and your children to be vaccinated or quarantined.”</p><p class="MsoNormal">So what are the risks of taking the swine flu vaccines? The answer to this may depend on who you ask.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health activist, author and strong critic of the swine flu immunization program states, “There can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjutant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan.”</p><p class="MsoNormal">Here is some of the evidence he provides: An oil,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>known as squalene is being used reduce the amount of viral antigen required in vaccines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>This ingredient allows companies to produce more vaccines for less money at a faster rate. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Countless medical professionals and experts believe using it in immunizations is a bad idea. This is going to be somewhat experimental. </p><p class="MsoNormal">There isn’t a single vaccine containing squalene that is approved for use in America, according to Meryl Nass, M.D., who notes that Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline will make use of it as a “novel feature of the H1N1 vaccines.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Squalene is a naturally occurring oil, found in the human brain, joints, and other places. The problem, according to some experts, occurs when it is administered in a vaccine. They claim that the human body will create antibodies to attack the oil. Squalene is believed by many to be responsible for the wide variety of symptoms that were called collectively &quot;Gulf War Syndrome.&quot; This illness has presented itself by sometimes producing a debilitating set of phenomena, which has been seen in a large number of U.S. military personnel who served during the first war in Iraq.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">“The substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene,” noted a Tulane Medical School study published in Experimental Molecular Pathology. “In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene.” The study has been challenged, but it is still widely cited.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The American Journal of Pathology has published a study<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>which highlighted problems with the use of the substance as well. One injection of squalene into rats led them to develop what humans know as rheumatoid arthritis, or “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, the chairman of the health committee in the German parliament and the European Council has written in the German newspaper “Bild” about another potential risk of the vaccine in an article entitled &quot;German health expert’s flu warning: Does virus vaccine increase risk of cancer?&quot; The article states, “the nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals,” and according to Wodarg, &quot;we do not know if there could be an allergic reaction.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">Johannes Löwer, the president of the German government’s Paul Ehrlich Institute, also warned in the same article that the side effects of the shot could be worse than the actual swine flu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Another ingredient in the H1N1 vaccine will be Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative which has come under fire from many different medical experts. Many studies have come to the conclusion that the substance does not cause autism, but at the same time there are critics of these various studies. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Autism has not been the only concern about Thimerosal. The FDA has actually told pharmaceutical companies to stop using the substance in early childhood vaccines. Many however still contain it and the swine flu vaccine will be no exception. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said that because of concerns over the preservative, there will be some vaccines available without it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Critics are still not satisfied however. &quot;We don't have adequate safety studies on this vaccine before we are moving forward to market,&quot; noted Lyn Redwood, the president of a non-profit organization called SafeMinds (Sensible Action For Ending Mercury-Induced Neurological Disorders) dedicated to investigating and raising awareness about the risks associated with mercury in medicinal products. &quot;I'm really not convinced that we know for sure that the risk of the disease outweighs the risk of the vaccine, especially since this is a brand new additive that we have never used before in combination with thimerosal.&quot;</p><p class="MsoNormal">Thimerosal, squalene, and cancerous animal cells are not the only red flags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Other potentially dangerous chemicals and substances often found in influenza vaccines are formaldehyde, antibiotics, and even ethylene glycol, known as anti-freeze. There are various health experts who have varying opinions about the effects of all of these additives, but many doctors still warn against them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Yet another concern has come to light in the UK with a letter sent to senior neurologists by the government’s Health Protection Agency sent a letter warning that the new swine flu vaccine is linked to the deadly nerve disease known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>The Daily Mail reported in an article entitled &quot;Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America.&quot; The infamous government swine flu vaccine of 1976 reportedly produced eight times greater risk of contracting the paralysis-inducing GBS illness in those who received it and killed more people than the actual virus. The leaked letter warned recipients to keep an eye open for GBS and to report it promptly. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The people who seem totally convinced about the inoculations’ safety and efficacy,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span>or who are at least downplaying the potential risks and side effects,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span>appear to be mostly government bureaucrats or people with vested interests. Factually every medicinal product carries some risk, and these vaccines are no different. </p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;The population desperately needs to be educated about the potential complications of the swine flu vaccine and then decide with their families and healthcare providers what they should do concerning weighing the risks of the vaccine and of the swine flu. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">The decision about swine flu vaccination should be made individually without government prodding or propaganda.</span></p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Social Security for Illegal Aliens!?!]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.180people.com/2009/August/Social-Security-for-Illegal-Aliens.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.atr.org/userfiles/MoneyToilet.jpg" complete="complete" /><br /><br />Illegal immigration is tearing this country apart. The U.S Senate has very recently passed a bill granting social security to illegal aliens. A petition is circulating concerning concerning a veto by President Obama. This proposal just adds fuel to the flames since the health care bill also grants coverage for illegal aliens. <br /><br />This country is falling apart financially giving away all these benefits and having illegals take jobs that once full-fledged American citizens were paid for to support their families. The quality of work is going down and the language barrier is a whole other issue. It is a common joke about not being able to place an order at fast food restaurants such as McDonalds. The communication issues are laughable and frustrating.<br /><br />&quot;Open-minded&quot; liberal politicians are destroying this country. It is not the United States responsibility to be the the Welcome Wagon for the rest of the world and to have our taxpayers supporting every nationality who are not here legally. Sorry...it is realistically not feasible. This is flushing the public dollars down the toilet and the citizens with it.]]></description>
