According to the bill any past, present, or future "thought crime" may threaten your right to purchase or own a firearm. Without a trial!</span></span></span></div> <div><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">The core of the bill's problems is section 101(c)(1)(C), which makes you a "prohibited person" on the basis of a "medical finding of disability," so long as a citizen or veteran had an "opportunity" for some sort of "hearing" before some "lawful authority" (other than a court). Presumably, this "lawful authority" could even be the psychiatrist himself. </span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">*Note that unlike with an accused murderer, the hearing doesn't have to occur. The "lawful authority" doesn't have to be unbiased. The citizen or veteran is not necessarily entitled to an attorney -- much less an attorney financed by the government. Children with past diagnosis for ADHD, People diagnosed with Alzheimer's, veterans dealing with PTSD and who seek psychiatric help, men and woman who are charged or suspected of domestic violence, and anyone currently under medication for psychiatric reasons what so ever... Are targets of HR 2640....</span></span></span></div><div><br /> <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">So where is the NRA in all of this? It was in fact the NRA that helped legislate this bill all along. They own this lock stock and barrel! Here is what NRA spokesperson Rachel Parsons had to say about supporting HR 2640 with Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Frank Lautenberg, and Carolyn McCarthy: "We want a clean bill. If this becomes a Christmas tree of gun control, we will absolutely remove support from this bill" Three months later they did NOT remove support.</span></span></span></div> <div><br /> <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">And this is exactly what we ended up with. A Rockefeller Center style Christmas tree lit up with more gun CONTROL than all previous gun control bills combined. Like thieves in the night, in a secret vote, with NO PUBLIC debate, with no mention by all but one of the Republican presidential candidates (that one is Ron Paul) with no coverage by the big 5 media companies, without a care for liberty and the Constitution... Our 2nd amendment rights have been put in the hands of George W. Bush. </span></span></span></div> <div><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>Every indicator seems to show that Mr. Bush, an alleged conservative will sign this nightmarish bill. </strong></span></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;"><strong></strong></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">We might have time to stop him and we certainly have time to let the president know that we want this bill vetoed until such a time when Americans can have a thoughtful debate on what we are getting into with HR 2640. </span></span></span></div> <div><br /> <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="color:black;">We have time, not much, to send a message to the Senate and Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell to reconsider sending this to the president, and we have the entire year to challenge each of the candidates running for president on where they stand on such a bill.

It is outrageous that private banks and the FED can create our money and collect interest on it.

Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, for pressing forward with the impeachment issue, and for submitting a bill (<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:1:./temp/%7Ec110Ikm7Hw::">H Res 799</a>) for the impeachment of Vice President Cheney.</p> <p>In another example of the effect of people power is that Rep. Anthony Wiener (D-NY), yet another member of the House Judiciary Committee, has signed onto Wexler's call for immediate hearings. Of the four, only Baldwin is a co-signer of Kucinich's impeachment bill. Since she is one of six members of the Judiciary Committee who are co-signers, that makes a total of nine Judiciary Committee members now who are in favor of Cheney impeachment hearings. That leaves 13 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, including Chairman John Conyers, who have not expressed any support. But of those 13, five–Conyers and Reps. Brad Sherman, Mel Watt, Bobby Scott, and Artur Davis, voted against a Democratic leadership move to table (and thus kill) Kucinich's bill last Nov. 7, thus suggesting that they are in favor of hearings on the measure. If those five sign on to Wexler's call, that would mean a clear majority–13-8–of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee in favor of hearings on Cheney's impeachment.</p> <p>In another development, Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) added her name to the Kucinich Cheney impeachment bill, bringing the total number of co-sponsors, plus Kucinich himself, to 25–the number who initially signed on to impeachment hearings on Richard Nixon in 1974.</p><p>Now is the time to contact your representatives (See Post: First thing you can do).<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964561473468347459.post-87557114704378941152007-12-21T21:23:00.000-07:002007-12-22T18:31:16.387-07:00A New 911 Commission<span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" ><b>If you live in New York or know anyone in New York, PLEASE sign this initiative to obtain an honest, independent investigation of 9/11.

Since I do not have a tv, I was browsing You Tube videos under the most highly rated videos of all time and I found a clip about the Federal Reserve. This was a 5 part series from a larger movie (<a href="http://zeitgeistmovie.com/">http://zeitgeistmovie.com)</a> . I was appalled at what I had learned. After showing this to my wife and a good friend, I was able to have some great discussion with them of things they had heard and knew about. Could it be true?? I started to research some of their social action steps and learned about Ron Paul <a href="http://www.ronpaul2008.com/">http://www.ronpaul2008.com/</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mind you, I was a Barack Obama supporter until this moment, or at least this was the beginning of my supportive efforts of Ron Paul and the beginning of the end of my support of Sen. Obama.</span><br /><br />On my way to Mexico for a week vacation, I found the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977795349?ie=UTF8&tag=sassercocom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0977795349">The True Story of the Bilderberg Group</a>, by D. Estulin. What surprised me most about this book was the secretive proceedings of the Bilderbergs. Evil deeds are constructed under veil and in darkness, great deeds are done in the open and sunlight. I began to loose sleep over the ramifications of what I was learning...my world as I knew it-to-be was eroding away.<br /><br />While in Mexico the NPR democratic, presidential debates were happening (I was still wanting to vote democrat) and I got the idea to ask the candidates about something I had learned in Estulin's book. My question would have been: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"In the last 50 years all presidents whether Republican or Democrat had chosen their cabinet members from the Council of Foreign Relations roster(an employment agency as it seems for the White House), and in a time when the public is frustrated about the lack of change from presidency to presidency, how will you differ in your cabinet appointments?"<br /></span>I never got to ask the question because I discovered that the top runners are or were all members of the CFR themselves!!!<br /><p style="text-align: center;"><u><strong>Democrat CFR Candidates:</strong></u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Barack Obama<br />Hillary Clinton<br />John Edwards </strong><strong></strong><br /><strong>Chris Dodd<br />Bill Richardson</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><strong>Republican CFR Candidates:</strong></u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mitt Romney<br />Rudy Giuliani<br />John McCain<br />Fred Thompson<br />Newt Gingrich</strong></p>Data found at: <a href="http://www.thought-criminal.org/blog/michaelvail">MichaelVail's blog</a><br />This was bigger and deeper than I ever expected!!<br /> <img alt="" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sassercocom-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0977795349" border="0" height="1" width="1" /><br />When I came back home I then stumbled upon Aaron Russo's (Interviewed in the ZeitgeistMovie)<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173"> America: Freedom to Fascism</a>, a gripping story of which I can no longer live the same way <span style="font-style: italic;">ever again.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964561473468347459.post-83693142141271882802007-12-20T23:57:00.001-07:002007-12-20T23:57:44.322-07:00Mark Joyner Takes Over My Blog<div id="simpleology_blog_d0e669e71d882118e139b872ec2caa61"><p>I'm evaluating a <a href="http://www.simpleology.com/training/blogging">multi-media course on blogging</a> from the folks at Simpleology.
