But remember when we the poor and middle class Americans,
seventy-five percent of us were the working people of this
country. We were the farmers, builders, manufacturing employees, truck drivers, clerks, service people for all the small businesses and the big businesses. The firemen, policemen, teachers, nurses, technicians for all the medical and dental offices and hospitals, nursing homes, caregivers, mechanics, office workers, whatever needed to be done, we did it.
THEN: Between the influx of the capitalist, republican politicians and technology, we started loosing ground, as all they were interested in was their bottom line, war, taking over other countries to gain access to all things of value, more for their bottom line. Poor things they had to pay more to American employees, because we had worked so hard to get unions for the workingman, so as to protect us in many ways. Big business really hated that and the fight began. The fight is still going on. To get around having to use union workers they figured out, lets just ship all our manufacturing plants into countries that do not have unions and the employees work for little or nothing (they had figured out that these people whom they had always considered dumb and ignorant were really very educable and could learn even though they were different) as they had nothing, would work for just enough to be able to eat, clothe and house themselves.
This was really, great for corporations. Low wages, no benefits, no taxes or very low taxes, then ship the finished product back to the United States, no trade deal, as they were American owned companies and then sell the product to the American people for the same damn price they had charged us when the American people were making the product. Profits they made could be put in offshore tax havens and not pay taxes to the US on all their loot! And Phil Gramm of UBS can handle their other monies in the elite private banks of UBS for the American Icons. Neat huh? Their bottom line has really grown and now they are ready to take over the United States, with the help of our republicans, who have by the way had their bottom line flourish, by lobbyist of the corporations and stock in all them.
When they reduce all of the working people of the poor and middle class to the same level, as the countries they have outsourced to, or the level of slave labor that the south had those many years ago, furnishing you or maybe paying you enough to buy food to be able to work, clothes to cover your backsides and a shack to live in. No benefits or education privileges, no Social Security, Medicare or unemployment insurance (people will have to work until they die) and no unions. Then they will build new manufacturing plants back in the United States for us to work in, of course they will keep the outsourced plants where they are.
If any of you remember your history. There was a time that they brought people from China, Japan, Mexico and many foreign countries to work in the United States and treated them the same way. I think to myself at times, maybe the Chinese remember their history and one of these days, it might be payback time.
We became a great county, but in doing so, we have gone into other countries, along with England, France, Spain and others and exploited, what is considered third world countries and become immensely wealthy, but left the people desolate. China might not be the only ones remembering their history and decide it is payback time. The bearded fellow from the Bin Laden family got fed up with the westerners.
One thing they have forgotten on their chase to the top of the ladder and keeping the majority of the people below the bottom rung. No one will be able to buy all their products they are manufacturing. I think we should start now. Do not buy anything made outside the United States. They will eventually fail and fall from the top.

SOCIAL SECURITY:
We hear all these Tea Party nuts and some Republicans talking
about revamping the Social Security system. The village Idiot,
when, he was in office wanted to privatize it. These new ones want to eliminate it altogether. One of our local fellows said the Democrats want to fix it and they want to raise the retirement age to 105. He always exaggerates a little. Many define it as an entitlement. It is the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) an insurance program paid out of wages. Benefits are distributed according to the amount paid in and years worked.
I am going to quote from a former Social Security Administration employee, in regard to the ‘looting’ of Social Security by our previous head honcho’s. We have had outright criminal theft from lower and middle class workers. Social Security is a flat tax, so deductions begin with the first dollar of wages each year. Deductions continue up to a ceiling. In 1981, when Ronald Reagan became president, that ceiling was $29,700. When Reagan left office it was $48,000. Today it is slightly over $100,000. When that ceiling is reached, which happens only to the richest Americans, it’s like receiving a huge tax cut. The exception is Medicare, for which there is no wage ceiling. That deduction is about 1.5 percent plus a matching amount from the employer. Healthcare for our oldest, sickest, neediest citizens costs 3 percent in the public sector. For the younger, healthier segments of society it is 17 percent of GDP.
Under Reagan the percentage of deductions increased by 25 percent. In effect, there was a 55 percent tax increase on lower-and-middle-class workers. That is the largest tax increase in history and the largest redistribution of wealth upward. The mainstream media missed that one too.
The final turn of the knife is the interest paid on the bonds bought by surplus Social Security contributions. Reagan used the bond money to conceal the costs of tax cuts for the wealthy and a massive military buildup to spend the Soviet Union into the Stone Age. Since nothing substantial or revenue-generating was acquired with the funds, that interest plus the principal must be paid back out of current income taxes. Part of a worker’s income taxes goes to replacing his own previous Social Security contributions. (Harold Taggart)
I quote again, this time from William Greider, things missed by many of us over the years, with various finagling going on with all this extra money in our ‘trust’ fund. Targeting Social Security to cover the deficits caused by bailing out Wall Street and fighting two was at once is a great injustice that will not prevail if people awaken to the threat. Both political parties collaborated back in 1983 to produce this huge and regressive tax increase on working people. The media remained silent because; it was done by ‘bipartisan commission’ chaired by Alan Greenspan. Does that sound familiar? Barack Obama and the governing elites in both parties are contemplating a repeat performance.
Ronald Reagan was famously against tax increases of any kind, but his budget director, David Stockman, talked him into supporting this one by assuring the Gipper that if the payroll tax was increased by 25 percent, it would turn people against Social Security and eventually destroy the system. That was okay with the Gipper! Why do wealthy people want to destroy what little ‘pensions’ we receive after a lifetime of paying for it.
I note the similarity between the federal government, states and cities. Anytime there is a designated fund that has money sitting in it, waiting to be distributed for the purpose it is there, who ever has jurisdiction over this good stuff, wants to take it out and put it in their slush fund or petty cash box.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE:
Have you ever noticed the differences in people, places and
things? Isn’t it strange that one person or the political parties can read the Constitution and each get a different meaning or understanding of the same words?
Even the Supreme Court Justices, whom are supposed to know it all and are the last word on differences of opinions, can’t agree on what they read, word by word, but will side with big money all the time.
In Mexico we have the drug cartels that have decided they want to run Mexico to suit them. They take advantage of the people, by giving them drugs free; and when they get them hooked, then put them to work selling to other unsuspecting people, thereby making huge profits for their coffers, as the people from the United States don’t have anything worthwhile to do other than get high, really like to buy their drugs. Our Republicans and the Tea Party bunch work along the same lines, but with lies, slander, innuendoes and lots of money from the big corporations and lobbyists, because they want to run our country to suit them. They claim that the majority of the citizens of this country want what they want. They are evacuating their bowels through their mouth and spewing crap all over the country and we have a lot of people with nothing better to do than listen. All who believe them I hope you enjoy the stink that comes with what happens---the same thing that we have been trying to clean up for the last one and one-half year!
Our various religious organizations are getting in on the political stuff and those guys are on the tax-free deal, plus they have lobbyist in Washington, DC. When they do this they are no longer exempt from paying taxes. When do we jerk it out from under them? They, like the big corporations get rich not paying taxes! I don’t see them saving too many souls or really helping the poor, but they are building bigger and better churches!
It is really time to demand some accountability from our political prostitutes. If you are a concerned citizen I am sure you have noted that the big corporations, wealthy friends with lots of influence and lobbyist pay to well for our crooked politicians-- all parties, to ever work for ‘We the People of this Country’. Check out all the ones on the take and vote them out in November. Check out all the new ones running before you vote them in, all parties, their parents and relatives, especially the ones who have been in politics or involved with big corporations; clear back to the first grade!!!
You can find all this information on the Internet and if you are like me and don’t have Internet, get someone like I do to pull all this stuff up. You can go to the library and use it there. E-mail or call a good investigative journalist/reporter and ask if they will help you get this information, just the truth, not lies, slander or innuendoes, just the truth facts. Half of what you read or hear on some TV stations are not the real facts, they are just, as I stated before, ‘evacuating their bowels through their mouth’—onto newsprint and on the air. Get busy people, we do not have a lot of time left and 75% percent of us that vote do not have cash on hand nor, never have had to buy a politicians, besides that kind, as has been proven are NO DAMN GOOD.

INSURGENCE – INSURGENCY - INSURGENT
INSURGENCE – INSURGENCY - INSURGENT
Okay folks let’s start with: Insurgence: An act of rebellion; insurrection.
Insurgency: The state or condition of being insurgent. Rebellion against an existing government by a group not recognized as belligerent. Rebellion within a group, as by members against leaders. (I can name them)
Insurgent: A person who takes part in forcible opposition or armed resistance to an established government or authority; rebel. A member of a group, especially a political party, who revolts against the policies of the leadership.
Where shall we start, as I keep hearing; insurgents and insurgency in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. From the definition of these words from Webster’s Dictionary, we have a bunch of insurgents and an insurgency in the good old United States of America. Political party-- against another political party-- racial prejudice against another race. Many claim that this country was built on Christian principles. But many are a bunch of damn hypocrites.
Christian: Pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or his teachings. Pertaining to, or adhering to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Exhibiting a spirit proper to a follower of Jesus Christ, as in having a loving regard for others. Humane; decent; generous, a person who believes in Jesus Christ; an adherent of Christianity. A person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.
From the countries that we think we are going to change to a democracy, for our benefit, they call us ‘Infidel’s’, a person who does not accept a particular religion, especially Christianity. Frankly this applies to many of the people in our ‘Christian’ nation that keep espousing their belief and support of Christianity, but do not practice what they preach. They practice more hate than anything else.
I have been around a long time and there are only 3 in the senate a little older than I, and 2 in the house. I have followed politics all my life and I know which ones aren’t worth a tinker’s damn, on both sides. I know the ones that are greedy and corrupt and do not work for we the people. They are bought and paid for by large corporations and work against we the people and the government. We have many that want peace and the others are warmongers. Our country is no different than other countries, why do we keep pretending that we are.
People in other countries know our faults, just as we know theirs. We have good and bad people in all countries none is any better than the other. Different languages, different religions, same damned downfall politics, and greed, each fighting to be superior to the other, the poor and downtrodden fighting to just survive from day to day. That’s what the poor in the United States are doing, living from day to day.
We do have freedom of speech, but some have resorted to weapons, as they found that speaking out did not help.
What is our next line of resistance against the people that have been elected to represent us and will not? And I am not talking about our President. He would do what we need to have done, but he has to have help, but the Insurgents ‘ain’t gonna’ do it.
Another Civil Rights March for equality, but not peaceful this time? The peaceful one on the part of the
marchers didn’t last long enough. Is it going to be an insurrection or revolutions? Something has got to change for the good of all humanity, not just a favored few.

Mental Reservation and The Laws of Man
A 700, year old doctrine; where clerics can avoid telling the truth, to protect the Catholic Church.
Not sanctioned under canon law, experts say, and infrequently invoked. (It has been misused to justify lying). The church has used it for years to protect priests that went outside their vows of chastity (forced on them by the church, so they wouldn’t marry and have a family to support, thereby taking more money from the church) as they were unable to marry. God didn’t make that law, man did. The church took from these men, what God gave them, the right to marry and have a family, thereby ruining their lives. They became servants to the church. Many became, frustrated as they had no outlet for personal emotions. In many it went to very mental extremes and they wound up ruining the lives of other people.
The church made laws for the nuns under the same circumstances. They also became servants to the church with no life of their own. They became housekeepers, cooks, gardeners and many other menial tasks. Many were taught to teach school, become nurses. Then they were used to make money for the church. Opened Catholic schools, where tuition was paid by families, built Catholic hospitals, where nuns manned the nursing staff and medical services were paid for all over the world, money from these things went to the church. The nuns got a roof over their heads, a place to sleep and food to eat, clothes to cover their backs, not much else. Rather like slaves, but volunteered. When they get to old or become ill, they are sent, like many of ordinary people to the ‘old folks’ home. Many had no family left. A Church who is supposed to teach the word of God, should not be able to take the life of a human being and use it for their own use in lieu of allowing them to live the life for the purpose he gave them, to marry and multiple and do good works. It has been a form of brainwashing to the priests and nuns. I read an article recently about the old and disabled nuns asking for help, as they had no assets. Many of their previous students were taking up collections for them. The Catholic Church, when they become too old to work does not seem to care about them. That is another thing they hide from the world.
The many institutions held by the church to supposedly protect and take care of orphans, but abused them to such a terrible extent, and hid all of this from sight, so as to protect the church. They ruined so many young lives and lied and hid it from the world, why? To protect a church that was not worth protecting. This was not the only religious organization that did the same thing. Our State run institutions did the same thing and hid it from the world. I wonder if the children would have been better off to let them run wild with the wild animals, they might have been better protected, than pinned up with no way to escape from their torturers. Running wild they could have climbed a tree or picked up a big stick or a rock to protect themselves. Many laws within themselves are evil things. As long as the names of the men in charge aren’t smeared they do not care.
Black’s Law Dictionary; copyrighted in 1891 and updated many times since. Used as a help measure for law students, lawyers, etc., much like our Webster’s Dictionary used at schools, colleges and in our homes has its legal description of Mental Reservation as: One party’s silent understanding or exception to the meaning of a contractual provision. Does that mean silent understanding or exception is the same a lying? I, actually think it is the same as where they can avoid telling the truth to protect something or to protect the posterior part of their anatomy.
Canon Law: A body of western ecclesiastical law that was first compiled from the 12th to the 14th centuries. It has grown steadily since that time, and is now codified in the Codex Juris Canonici of 1983,replacing that of 1918---Also termed corpus juris canonici; papal law, jus canonicum. A body of law developed within a particular religious tradition—Also termed church law; canonical law. Ecclesiastical Law.
Canon: A rule or principle, once accepted as fundamental. Canon of construction: A rule used in construing legal instruments, contracts and statutes. There are many rules under this. Canon of descent; honorary canon; (serve without pay or benefit), A fixed regular payment or tribute made as a contribution payable to the church (that’s how they afford all the riches). Canonical impediment, (annulment and all the rules to be removed from the church). Canonical purgation: purgation by oath-helpers in an ecclesiastical court; vulgar purgation, purgation by fire, hot irons, battle or cold water; purgation by means other than oath-helpers. Vulgar purgation was so called because it was not; sanctioned by the church after 1215 (not exactly true, the insurrection came after that). Must have been a really good idea, as various governments and military leaders started using some of the same tactics. Our United States radical regime of fascist warmongers during the last Republican Party in power used it a lot.
And still think it is a good idea. They used the old Mental Reservation law a lot. Actually they lied like hell, but whom were they trying to protect? They knew they what they were doing was wrong, even went so far as to construe legal instruments to make sure what they were doing was alright under our screwed up justice system.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter what legal twist you put on it. When my husband was going to law school he would want me argue the other side of a case, and I would. He would always say, ‘no your wrong’, I always said, ‘but morally I am right”. He proceeded to tell me there is no moral in law. I have found this to be true, but still believe there should be. There has to be for things to turn out right for our world.
Our people of this world have to start telling the truth and stop telling lies to protect, churches, governments and our leaders and corporations. This type of thing has gone on forever, lying and covering up any, wrong doing. Our children have all begun saying, ‘everybody does it’, like it was okay for them. It is not for our children and it damn sure is not for all of us that know better, but it seems to be easier to lie and steal. Then cover it up.
The leaders and people keep talking about how great we are, but we are no different than people in other nations that we seem to hate so much. Have any of you ever asked yourself and really checked why they dislike our country so much? I have and our history with them did not foster good relations. I have known people in many of those countries. We have never been great saviors, just greedy robber barons and pretend we are doing it for their own good. Mental Reservation again; it is used every day in this country.
So many of the things we do in our country and other places in the world is wrong, because we do it for the wrong reasons. We do not go to help if, it is needed, we, go to control and conquer. Then the avarice ridden and warmongers, see the money they can make, by sending our military to eliminate the leaders, blow the country apart, kill their citizens and our own soldiers, then the country isn’t of any use, until they rebuild it and to do this, our leaders have their friends (wealthy contractors with contacts) turn in big contracts to our governments to do the job and we pay through the nose and they get very rich on the taxpayers money. To add insult to injury our leaders have friends who are a bunch of ex-military mercenaries (Blackwatch) they wanted to protect our citizens in Iraq, so they apply for a big money contract to our government and got the job, at taxpayer’s expense. They paid them a hell of a lot more, than they paid our military to do the job. Seems Blackwatch did a lot of other goodies for them (outside of any law). Brutal bunch of sorry men! The, type that would kill at the drop of a hat or a jaundice eye, and for money they would break any law and kill with great abandonment. We even let them live in the United States and call them citizens. And we have the gall to call other people terrorist. Mental Reservation again!
When will we the people stand up and use our Mental Reservation for what is right instead of what is wrong?
Not sanctioned under canon law, experts say, and infrequently invoked. (It has been misused to justify lying).

I, actually think it is the same as where they can avoid telling the truth to protect something or to protect the posterior part of their anatomy.
Canon Law: A body of western ecclesiastical law that was first compiled from the 12th to the 14th centuries. It has grown steadily since that time, and is now codified in the Codex Juris Canonici of 1983,replacing that of 1918---Also termed corpus juris canonici; papal law, jus canonicum. A body of law developed within a particular religious tradition—Also termed church law; canonical law. Ecclesiastical Law.
Canon: A rule or principle, once accepted as fundamental. Canon of construction: A rule used in construing legal instruments, contracts and statutes. There are many rules under this. Canon of descent; honorary canon; (serve without pay or benefit), A fixed regular payment or tribute made as a contribution payable to the church (that’s how they afford all the riches). Canonical impediment, (annulment and all the rules to be removed from the church). Canonical purgation: purgation by oath-helpers in an ecclesiastical court; vulgar purgation, purgation by fire, hot irons, battle or cold water; purgation by means other than oath-helpers. Vulgar purgation was so called because it was not; sanctioned by the church after 1215 (not exactly true, the insurrection came after that). Must have been a really good idea, as various governments and military leaders started using some of the same tactics. Our United States radical regime of fascist warmongers during the last Republican Party in power used it a lot.
And still think it is a good idea. They used the old Mental Reservation law a lot. Actually they lied like hell, but whom were they trying to protect? They knew they what they were doing was wrong, even went so far as to construe legal instruments to make sure what they were doing was alright under our screwed up justice system.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter what legal twist you put on it. When my husband was going to law school he would want me argue the other side of a case, and I would. He would always say, ‘no your wrong’, I always said, ‘but morally I am right”. He proceeded to tell me there is no moral in law. I have found this to be true, but still believe there should be. There has to be for things to turn out right for our world.
Our people of this world have to start telling the truth and stop telling lies to protect, churches, governments and our leaders and corporations. This type of thing has gone on forever, lying and covering up any, wrong doing. Our children have all begun saying, ‘everybody does it’, like it was okay for them. It is not for our children and it damn sure is not for all of us that know better, but it seems to be easier to lie and steal. Then cover it up.
The leaders and people keep talking about how great we are, but we are no different than people in other nations that we seem to hate so much. Have any of you ever asked yourself and really checked why they dislike our country so much? I have and our history with them did not foster good relations. I have known people in many of those countries. We have never been great saviors, just greedy robber barons and pretend we are doing it for their own good. Mental Reservation again; it is used every day in this country.
So many of the things we do in our country and other places in the world is wrong, because we do it for the wrong reasons. We do not go to help if, it is needed, we, go to control and conquer. Then the avarice ridden and warmongers, see the money they can make, by sending our military to eliminate the leaders, blow the country apart, kill their citizens and our own soldiers, then the country isn’t of any use, until they rebuild it and to do this, our leaders have their friends (wealthy contractors with contacts) turn in big contracts to our governments to do the job and we pay through the nose and they get very rich on the taxpayers money. To add insult to injury our leaders have friends who are a bunch of ex-military mercenaries (Blackwatch) they wanted to protect our citizens in Iraq, so they apply for a big money contract to our government and got the job, at taxpayer’s expense. They paid them a hell of a lot more, than they paid our military to do the job. Seems Blackwatch did a lot of other goodies for them (outside of any law). Brutal bunch of sorry men! The, type that would kill at the drop of a hat or a jaundice eye, and for money they would break any law and kill with great abandonment. We even let them live in the United States and call them citizens. And we have the gall to call other people terrorist. Mental Reservation again!
When will we the people stand up and use our Mental Reservation for what is right instead of what is wrong?
