POPSYou Owe $455,000 * “People seem to think the government has money,” said former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker. “The government doesn’t have any money“ * The United States Department of the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget published a report stating that the U.S. cannot grow our way out of the government’s liabilities, that the liabilities are quickly growing, and that failing to take drastic and immediate action would lead to very bad consequences (the report was written in 2006) * The International Monetary Fund - which oversees third-world economies - are so concerned about the solvency of the U.S. economy that they are conducting a complete audit of the whole US financial system If you owed $455,000, you might very well have to file for bankruptcy, unless you had some rich uncle who could bail you out. But if your uncle had bailed you out numerous times in the past and if you had consistently broke your promises to re-pay him - he’d probably cut you off

POPSStart Hoarding Now? "I think for that reason, probably sometime in the next year or two, you're going to see the government trying to combat this, either through price controls on certain products, or through official government limitations on the number or the quantity of things that people can buy. All of this is coming, because the government is going to be focused on the symptoms and not the disease. They're going to focus on rising prices, whether it's for food or oil or whatever, and try to stop prices from rising, without understanding that they are rising because of all the money that they're creating." It's crazy how the government wants to interfere with prices. They're going to look at oil prices and food prices and say hey these prices are too high; we need to limit them with price ceilings. But now they look at house prices and say, oh no, house prices are not high enough, we need to stop them from falling."

POPSGov't Regulating the Market Is Not The Answer "A Government Failure, not the market's". Who will correct this? Both Obama and McCain believe Government regulation is needed for when markets fail. Both are either ignorant of or compliant with the root causes. Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

POPSMideast Governments Tired of Bush Rhetoric As Well! Israeli commentators said the Egyptian mediation amounted to indirect negotiations between the Israeli government and Hamas, a group with which the United States refuses to have dealings. The Palestinian resistance organisation, which controls inside Gaza Strip (although it is still under Israeli occupation), was offering Israel a long-term truce which could make it easier for the rival Palestinian group Fatah to reach an agreement with Israel -- a goal which the United States says it is promoting. In his Sharm el-Sheikh speech, Bush also attacked the Lebanese group Hezbollah, calling it "terrorists funded by Iran" and "the enemy of a free Lebanon" Three days later in the Gulf state of Qatar, Hezbollah and other Lebanese groups reached an agreement ending the political crisis that had paralysed Lebanon for months.

POPSThe Equal Rights Party It's been nearly 128 years, and still no woman has made it to the White House. No person of color has even made it to the Vice Presidency. Money is still a major obstacle for candidates. The private lives of public figures are still an issue. Victoria Woodhull and Frederick Douglass are two very key figures in our nation's history, sadly, not many people know about them. They are both very interesting people who lived extraordinary lives, click the links and read about them, I have included links for both.

POPSThe Barney Frank and Ron Paul Bill “The Frank-Paul bill would stop the US Government from taking any further steps on regulations that would require all of the country’s financial institutions to block Internet gambling payments,” said Jeffrey Sandman, Spokesman for SSIGI. “It’s a bold move but a necessary one in light of the warnings from the Treasury and Federal Reserve that they did not know how to write regulations to solve the problems created by UIGEA.” “These regulations are impossible to implement without placing a significant burden on the payments system and financial institutions and, while I do disagree with the underlying objective of the Act, I believe that even those who agree with it ought to be concerned about the regulations’ impact,” said Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts.

POPS Comprehensive Economic Revitalization Plan Here are a few of the plan's basics: Eliminate Taxes on Social Security Benefits. That money belongs to seniors, not the government. They paid into the system for a lifetime, and they should be free to spend every penny as they see fit. * Pass H.R. 192 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the 1993 increase in taxes on Social Security benefits. # Eliminate Taxes on Tips.The single parents and working students who earn their income chiefly through tips deserve to keep all of their money. This tax on "estimated income" is unfair and should be ended. * Pass H.R. 3664 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide that tips shall not be subject to income or employment taxes. Reduce Overseas Military Commitments. Our bases and troops should be on our soil. * It's time to stop subsidizing our trading partners in Europe, Japan and South Korea.

POPSFISA Amendments Act of 2008 The assurances in this bill that Americans will not have their communications monitored without warrant are unconvincing. The bill merely states that the government should do its best to avoid monitoring Americans if possible. We have seen how meaningless such qualified prohibitions have been as we recount the abuses over the past several years. Just today, we read in the news that the federal government has massively abused its ability to monitor us by improperly targeting Americans through the use of “national security letters.” Apparently some 60 percent of the more than 50,000 national security letters targeted Americans, rather than foreign terrorists, for surveillance. This is what happens when we begin down the slippery slope of giving up our constitutional rights for the promise of more security. When we come to accept that the government can spy on us without a court order we have come to accept tyranny.

POPSI.O.U. Thomas Jefferson lobbied vehemently against the central bank stating it was contrary to the Constitution.In 1826, the second bank's charter was soon to expire and presidential candidate Andrew Jackson campaigned strongly against a central bank, which was owned and operated by the international banking element. Here is Jackson's opinion of those bankers: "You are a den of vipers. I intend to wipe you out, and by the Eternal God I will rout you out...If people only understood the rank injustice of the money and banking system, there would be a revolution by morning." President Kennedy had printed $4 billion worth of non-interest bearing money, which meant he began to chop at the profits of the vultures. Interest free money means the national debt is eliminated and the power of the international banking element is broken. But he was murdered, as we all know. Kennedy wanted to abolish the Fed.

POPSIf a Dollar Drops, Does Anybody Hear It? People do not seem to be listening, we are in trouble here, and continue to turn a blind eye to what is happening. Members of the CFR really do not care which candidate is elected, as long as they are a member of the CFR. Look it up, chances are the candidate you are supporting is "in", unless it is Ron Paul. Look further: By David Rockefeller’s own admission the CFR was created for one purpose. The design, manipulation and creation of a New World Order. A single government that controls planet earth. A planetary government run by powerful bankers." Remember, we have been warned: ”The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” – Thomas Jefferson

POPSThe Revolution: A Manifesto Here is Ron Paul's Preface to the book: Every election cycle we are treated to candidates who promise us "change," and 2008 has been no different. But in the American political lexicon, "change" always means more of the same: more government, more looting of Americans, more inflation, more police-state measures, more unnecessary war, and more centralization of power.Real change would mean something like the opposite of those things. It might even involve following our Constitution. And that’s the one option Americans are never permitted to hear…. With national bankruptcy looming, politicians from both parties continue to make multi-trillion dollar promises of "free" goods from the government, and hardly a soul wonders if we can still afford to have troops in – this is not a misprint – 130 countries around the world. All of this is going to come to an end sooner or later, because financial reality is going to make itself felt in very uncomfortable ways.

POPSForeign Policy for America SOLUTIONS? Yes, there are. Like the Founding Fathers, Libertarians know that war is the first resort of political scoundrels, but the last resort of a free people. Libertarians know that government's role isn't to police the world — or even to win wars. Government's role is to keep us out of wars — and to protect us from foreign enemies, not create them. How would a Libertarian government assure our safety? Our foreign policy would be simple: We are always ready to defend ourselves, but we threaten no one.

POPSHuckabee is Learning "If we don’t cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future — and yours. In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less.” These statements, along with his recent "abolish the IRS" talk, one has to take notice, I think he has learned a thing or two from Ron Paul. He just has to be careful, they will start censoring and slandering him if he keeps this up!

POPSGlobal Warming-Hype or HAARP? As the U.S. and former Soviet Union spent trillions of dollars on their militaries, their commitment to mutually assured destruction led to extensive experimentation with the use of weather as a weapon. In 1977, the Saturday Review cited a CIA report hinting that the U.S. government already had the power to massively manipulate the weather for war purposes. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, a 1993 Isvestia article suggested the U.S. might want to partner with the Russians in peddling their top-secret technology to the world. Oleg Klugin, a high-ranking KGB officer, bragged of his involvement in geophysical weapons research to a London newspaper. The grid patterns of jet chemtrails now spotted throughout the Western world are likely the application of these technologies to new military and civilian uses.

POPS"Surrender Should Not Be An Option" The American people voted for a humble foreign policy in 2000. They voted for an end to the war in 2006. Instead of recognizing the wisdom and desire of the voters, they are chided as cowards, unwilling to defend themselves. Americans are fiercely willing to defend themselves. However, we have no stomach for indiscriminate bombing in foreign lands when our actual attackers either killed themselves on 9/11 or are still at large somewhere in a country that is neither Iraq nor Iran. Defense of our homeland is one thing. Offensive tactics overseas are quite another. Worse yet, when our newly minted enemies find their way over here, where will our troops be to defend us? The American people have NOT gotten the government they deserve. They asked for a stronger America and peace through nonintervention, yet we have a government of deceit, inaction and one that puts us in grave danger on the international front. "Mission Accomplished".

POPSGenocide Continues During Teddy Bear Riots Some news agencies reported thousands of people took part in the protest, but a BBC reporter at the scene said up to a thousand marchers turned out. According to some agencies, some of the protesters chanted: "Shame, shame on the UK", "No tolerance - execution" and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad". One demonstrator told reporters that it was unacceptable to take a toy and call it Muhammad. "We can't accept it from anybody. Even if they can do that in Europe, they cannot do it here in Sudan. We ask our rulers and judges to review what they have said. Fifteen days is not enough." Genocide, rape, no problem, just watch what you call a stuffed toy or we will call for your death! That is seriously F'd up! These people need to get their priorities straight.

POPSTroops 1, Puppet Government 0 O’HANLON: … and it doesn’t answer the questions about political progress. KARL: In fact, there’s been almost no political progress on the national level, and U.S. officials know military gains won’t mean much if the Iraqi government doesn’t get its act together, which is one reason the Pentagon doesn’t even want to use the word “winning.” You’re not ready to say we’re winning, that the surge is working – ROBERT GATES : (From tape.) I think — I think that those end up being loaded words. I think we have been very successful. We need to continue being successful. KARL: Today, Defense Secretary Gates said that the reduction in violence would not have been possible without the surge of 30,000 additional troops into Iraq, but, Charlie, those troops are going home in the coming months, raising the question of whether the violence will go up when they leave. GIBSON: Jonathan Karl tonight reporting from the Pentagon, thanks

POPSRon Paul, One of Few Congressman Paul's consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, "Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers' ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are." Another colleague observed, "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few."

POPS'A Coup Has Occurred'
Daniel Ellsberg, former Defense Department analyst ,offered insights into the looming war with Iran & the loss of liberty in the U S at an American University symposium on Sept. 20. "I took an oath many times, an oath of office as a Marine lieutenant, as an official in the Def. Dept, as an official in the St. Dept as a Foreign Service officer. A number of times I took an oath of office which is the same oath office taken by every member of Congress and every official in the United States and every officer in the United States armed services. And that oath is not to a Commander in Chief, which is not mentioned. It is not to a fuehrer. It is not even to superior officers. The oath is precisely to protect and uphold the Constitution of the U.S. Now that is an oath I violated every day for years in the Defense Department without realizing it when I kept my mouth shut when I knew the public was being lied into a war as they were lied into Iraq, as they are being lied into war in Iran."
