Shouldn't they be fired or fined?

 I enjoy watching cspan from time to time (even if it does get 


boring at times) so you can watch whats going on before the 


media gets a hold of it and edits as they see fit, and I am


 so sickened by what I see or I  should rephrase that NOT 


SEE the majority of the time, where are all of our elected


 officials.......not there the majority of the time when they 


should be.




I thought that was part of the voting process, to vote for 


those that had our best interests at heart, and I wouldn't


 trust them to watch paint dry.   They where hired(voted in 


by us(not saying who we voted for was elected but you know 


what I mean) aren't there. I know everyone would love to 


have a job like that getting paid, benefits, etc to decide the 


fate of the Population/Country and they aren't there. They


 need FIRED or FINED........  written by JLH

’72,000 stimulus payments went to dead people’ in the amount of $600 million, and lets see how much more was added to that with ‘SELF-DECLARATION OF U.S.. CITIZENSHIP FOR MEDICAID.’


WASHINGTON – The federal government has doled out more than $600 million in benefit payments to dead people over the past five years, a watchdog report says.
Such payments are meant for retired or disabled federal workers, but sometimes the checks keep going out even after the former employees pass away and the deaths are not reported, according to the report this week from the Office of Personnel Management’s inspector general, Patrick McFarland.
In one case, the son of a beneficiary continued receiving payments for 37 years after his father’s death in 1971. The payments — totaling more than $515,000 — were only discovered when the son died in 2008.

The government has been aware of the problem since a 2005 inspector general’s report revealed defects in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. Yet the improper payments have continued, despite more than a half dozen attempts to develop a system that can figure out which beneficiaries are still alive and which are dead, the report said.
“It is time to stop, once and for all, this waste of taxpayer money,” it said.
Office of Personnel Management spokesman Edmund Byrnes said he could not immediately comment on the findings. But the report said OPM Director John Berry agrees that stopping the improper payments should be a priority.
October 8, 2010 
n a new $787 billion stimulus accountability report a government investigator found that more than 89,000 people received stimulus payments of $250 each. The lucky recipients were people (using the term loosely) whom were either in a graveyard or in prison.
According to the Social Security Administration’s inspector general, $18 million stimulus dollars were mailed to at least 72,000 dead people. The same report offers some good news and estimates that half of those payments were returned to the federal government.  Another disturbing figure included in the Social Security’s Inspector General Report was the fact $4.3 million was distributed to more than 17,000 prison inmates.
There are about 2.5 million federal workers who receive over $60 billion in benefit payments from the program each year.
Federal officials have tried matching the fund’s computer records with the Social Security Administration’s death records, checking tax records and improving the timeliness of death reporting.
OPM has also sampled its records of all recipients over 90 years old to confirm whether they are still alive. In 2009, there were more than 125,000 recipients identified as over 90 and about 3,400 over 100 years old.more at cbsnews

EPA to property owner: 'Your land is our land' $40 million in fines pending over plan to build new home


Just imagine. You want to build a home, so you buy a $23,000 piece of land in a residential subdivision in your hometown and get started. The government then tells you to stop, threatens you with $40 million in fines and is not kidding.


That's the case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, with briefs being filed today by thePacific Legal Foundation on behalf of a Priest Lake, Idaho, family, Chantell and Mike Sackett.
Attorney Damien Schiff, who will be arguing before the high court in the case, said it's simply a case of a government run amok, and it poses a potential threat to perhaps not every landowner across the nation, but untold millions. 

The Sacketts, Schiff said, "bought property, and the government in effect has ordered them to treat the property like a public park."

"The EPA has not paid them a dime for that privilege," he said. "The regime we have operating now allows the EPA to take property without having to pay for it, or giving the owners the right to their day in court.""




The case developed when the Sacketts bought a .63-acre parcel of land for $23,000 in a subdivision in their hometown of Priest Lake, Idaho. The land is 500 feet from a lake, had a city water and sewer tap assigned, had no running or standing water and was in the middle of other developed properties.

The couple obtained all of the needed permits for their project and started work. Suddenly, theEnvironmentalProtectionAgency showed up on the building site, demanded that the work stop and issued a "compliance order" that the couple remove the fill they had brought in, restore the land to its native condition, plant trees every 10 feet, fence it off and let it sit for three years.

Australian passports to now come with 3 gender options: male, female and indeterminate


Australian passports to now come with 3 gender options: male, female and indeterminate

CANBERRA, Australia – Australian passports will now have three gender options — male, female and indeterminate — under new guidelines to remove discrimination against transgender and intersex people, the government said Thursday.
Intersex people, who are biologically not entirely male or female, will be able to list their gender on passports as “X.”
Transgender people, whose perception of their own sex is at odds with their biology, will be able to pick whether they are male or female if their choice is supported by a doctor’s statement. Transgender people cannot pick “X.”
Previously, gender was a choice of only male or female, and people were not allowed to change their gender on their passport without having had a sex-change operation. The U.S. dropped the surgery prerequisite for transgender people’s passports last year.
Any country that complies with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s specifications for machine-readable passports can choose to introduce a gender “X.”
Australian Sen. Louise Pratt, whose partner was born female and is now identified as a man, said the reform was a major improvement for travellers who face questioning and detention at airports because their appearance does not match their gender status.
Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd said the new guidelines removed discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and sexual orientation.
“This amendment makes life easier and significantly reduces the administrative burden for sex and gender diverse people who want a passport that reflects their gender and physical appearance,” Rudd said in a statement.
Peter Hyndal, who negotiated with the government on the reforms on behalf of the human rights advocacy group A Gender Agenda, said the new guidelines were in line with more flexible approaches to gender issues in passports issued by the United States and Britain.
“It’s amazingly positive,” Hyndal said. “It’s the biggest single piece of law reform related to transgender and intersex issues at a commonwealth level ever in this country — mind-blowing.”
As many as 4 per cent of people are affected by an intersex condition, but most never become aware of their minor chromosome abnormalities.more

Germany bans its biggest neo-Nazi group, the HNG, which supports prisoners with far-right views and their families


Germany bans its biggest neo-Nazi group, the HNG, which supports prisoners with far-right views and their families

The Help Organization for National Political Prisoners and their Families (HNG) is, say German authorities, a threat to society and works against the constitution.
With the slogan “A front inside and outside,” the HNG seeks to reinforce prisoners’ right-wing views and motivate them to continue their struggle against the system, said the ministry.
“It is no longer acceptable that imprisoned right-wing extremists are being strengthened by the HNG in their aggressive stance against the free, democratic order,” Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said in a statement.
“By rejecting the democratic constitutional state and glorifying National Socialism, the HNG tried to keep right wing radical criminals in their own milieu,” the ministry said.
The group, founded in 1979, has some 600 members. The ban follows raids in which police seized material from leading HNG members across Germany.
Although far-right groups attract most support in the eastern states, where unemployment is high and prospects few, the raids took place in western states including Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has said that far-right groups have in the last few years sought to use the financial crisis and euro zone debt crisis to prove that the capitalist system has failed.
The ban comes two weeks after the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), which espouses the end of parliamentary democracy, regained seats in the state assembly of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is also represented in Saxony.
Right wing groups in Germany, including the NPD, are more radical than populist, anti-immigration parties in the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Sweden which have enjoyed greater success at the ballot box.
Germany’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution describes the NPD as racist, anti-Semitic and revisionist and says its statements prove its inspiration comes from the Nazis. The party says the German constitution is a “diktat” imposed by victorious Western powers after World War Two.
Germany has banned several right-wing groups in the last few years but critics say the government needs to do more to weed out extreme views which permeate society..more

'Those that surrender the land will never get it back'


‘Those that surrender the land will never get it back’
(NaturalNews) Government officials in California are hard at work getting rid of all the “lone rangers” living in Los Angeles County’s Antelope Valley. According to a recent report by www.reason.tv, “armed county inspection squads” are regularly raiding the residences of off-the-grid valley dwellers for alleged code violations, only to later demand that such residents completely destroy their homes and vacate their property. 


Los Angeles County describes its Nuisance Abatement Team (NAT) program as a “multiagency task force assembled to abate the more difficult Code violations and public nuisance conditions on private property.” In the Antelope Valley, this has translated into targeting property dwellers who primarily live in structures or trailers that have their own private water sources, and that are powered independently from centralized power grids. 
 

It typically starts with code inspectors showing up at residences where they begin demanding that certain changes be made, typically in response to “neighbor complains.” If property owners comply, code inspectors proceed to find additional problems that need immediate attention. The situation then continues to escalate until agents eventually reveal their true colors, and order property owners to completely destroy all buildings and vacate the property. 
“The government came out and told me that my bushes and stuff out here had to be cut back,” said Joey Gallo, a retired ARMY veteran who served during the Vietnam era and Antelope Valley property owner, to reason.tv. “I agreed to take care of the problem.” 
After complying with the county’s demands to tidy up his property, which also ended up including moving a shed and getting rid of a motorhome, Gallo received orders from agents to level his home and move off his own property. The agents claimed that neighbors had complained about “unsightly structures,” even though Gallo has no immediate neighbors near his property. 
A self-sustaining couple who has lived in their home for 22 years and grown their own food, generated their own electricity with solar panels, and pulled water from their own private well — all without ever needing any help from the government or anybody else — Castaneda and his wife have been ordered to destroy their home and leave their land as well. 
And Kim Fahey, another former Antelope Valley resident who built his own home out of old telephone poles, was raided not too long ago. Fahey was convicted of 12 misdemeanors, was eventually arrested and put in prison, and subsequently was forced to destroy his unique castle-like home, which he lovingly named “Phonehenge. 
Forcing property owners to destroy homes, leave land all part of UN’s Agenda 21 
The US government’s coercion of property owners to destroy their homes and leave their land is all part and parcel of the United Nations Agenda 21 program, a plan of action for “sustainable development” designed to cluster the populations of the world into organized, tightly-designed, planned communities, where they can be monitored, tracked, and forever connected to the government control grid (http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/ ). 
Living on one’s own private land, especially land that is detached from a major city and its respective power grid, is simply not part of the UN’s global agenda for population control. 
That is why the UN created a “Wildlands Network and Smart Growth” component to Agenda 21 that gradually forces rural individuals to migrate to urban clusters, while seizing control and ownership of their left behind land in order to turn it back into wild, government-owned land (http://www.freedomadvocates.org/art… ). 

thank you Dutch

Sound like a crazy conspiracy theory? Do some research on Agenda 21 for yourself, and you will surely be shocked to learn the truth about the global agenda for human management

Why Does This Children’s Book Exist?


Why Does This Children’s Book Exist?



The latest dirty secret of the Second World War.


The latest dirty secret of the Second World War.


In the spring of 1945, the Third Reich of Adolf Hittler was on the verge of collapse, caught between the Red Army advancing from the east to Berlin and American armies, British and Canadians, under the overall command of General Dwight David Eisenhower, moving from west along the river Rhine. From D-Day landings in Normandy last June, the Western Allies had recaptured France and the Netherlands and some commanders of the Wehrmacht were trying to negotiate the local rendering. Other units, however, continued to obey Hitler’s orders to fight to the last man. Most systems, including transportation, had collapsed and civilians fleeing in panic, the Russians advancing along.
” Hungry and frightened, lying on arable land, 15 meters away, waiting for the right moment to jump with their hands up “is how Captain HF McCullough of the 2nd Regiment anti-tanks of the 2nd Canadian Division, describes the chaos of the German surrender at the end of World War II.
In a day and a half, according to Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, 500,000 Germans surrendered to their 21 th Army Group in northern Germany. Shortly after VE Day – May 8, 1945 – the British and Canadians captured more than two million Germans. Virtually none of the treatment was given, survives in the archives in Ottawa or London, just a few scant evidence of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the armies involved and the accounts of the prisoners themselves that indicate that the majority continued good health. In any case, most were soon released and sent home or were transferred to France to help in the work of post-war reconstruction. (The French army had captured fewer than 300,000 prisoners.)
As the British and Canadians, Americans were faced with a surprising number of German soldiers surrendered. The final count of prisoners captured by U.S. forces in Europe (excluding Italy and North Africa) was 5.25 million. But the Americans responded differently.
Among the first captives in the hands of the U.S. had one, the Cape Helmut Liebich, who had worked on an anti-aircraft pilot in the Baltic Peenemunde. Liebich was captured by the Americans on April 17, near Gotha in central Germany. Forty-two years later, remembers well that they had tents at Camp Gotha, only a barbed wire fence around a field that quickly became a neighborhood.
The prisoners received a small ration of food the first day, but was reduced by half. For rations were forced to run a race. Crouching should run through the American guards who beat them with sticks as they moved toward the food. On April 17, were transferred to rural America Heidesheim farther west, where there was no food for days, then very few.

In ‘Eisenhower’s Death Camps’: A U.S. Prison Guard Remembers

Martin Brech
Image: American Concentration Camp.
In late March or early April 1945, I was sent to guard a POW camp near Andernach along the Rhine. I had four years of high school German, so I was able to talk to the prisoners, although this was forbidden. Gradually, however, I was used as an interpreter and asked to ferret out members of the S.S. (I found none.)
In Andernach about 50,000 prisoners of all ages were held in an open field surrounded by barbed wire. The women were kept in a separate enclosure that I did not see until later. The men I guarded had no shelter and no blankets. Many had no coats. They slept in the mud, wet and cold, with inadequate slit trenches for excrement. It was a cold, wet spring, and their misery from exposure alone was evident.
Even more shocking was to see the prisoners throwing grass and weeds into a tin can containing a thin soup. They told me they did this to help ease their hunger pains. Quickly they grew emaciated. Dysentery raged, and soon they were sleeping in their own excrement, too weak and crowded to reach the slit trenches. Many were begging for food, sickening and dying before our eyes. We had ample food and supplies, but did nothing to help them, including no medical assistance.
Outraged, I protested to my officers and was met with hostility or bland indifference. When pressed, they explained they were under strict orders from “higher up.” No officer would dare do this to 50,000 men if he felt that it was “out of line,” leaving him open to charges. Realizing my protests were useless, I asked a friend working in the kitchen if he could slip me some extra food for the prisoners. He too said they were under strict orders to severely ration the prisoners’ food, and that these orders came from “higher up.” But he said they had more food than they knew what to do with, and would sneak me some.
When I threw this food over the barbed wire to the prisoners, I was caught and threatened with imprisonment.
