Willie Nelson’s Band gets busted for Moonshine and 420

KENANSVILLE, N.C. – Singer and guitarist Willie Nelson canceled a North Carolina concert because of a bum hand about an hour after several band and crew members were busted for allegedly possessing moonshine and marijuana.

Alcohol Law Enforcement spokesman Ernie Seneca said Friday that six members of Nelson’s band and crew have been charged with misdemeanor possession offenses. They were issued citations before the Texas singer was scheduled to take the stage Thursday night

Why our country is really in debt… ce: Jon Tucker

    I’ve heard many reasons why we as a country are in debt. I’ve heard some sound reasons, and I’ve heard some pretty crazy ideas, but none gets to the root of the problem. The real threat to our economy, has been, and will always be, the Federal Reserve. Yes the Federal Reserve, most people think it’s run by the federal government. Well in this article you will find it to be exactly the opposite.

            First off we’ll look at the history of the Federal Reserve. On December 23^rd 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was voted into law by congress. Most members of congress were not present due to the holiday weekend, giving the pushers of the Federal Reserve Act virtually no resistance to passing the bill. Woodrow Wilson was the one that finally signed it into law, finalizing the act.

            Once the control of money went into the hands of private bankers, we were in debt. You see what the Federal Reserve does is charge so much for each currency printed, which the U.S. pays. Also the Federal Reserve gives us loans that we have to pay back. Which is where we owe most of our national debt. This is a little crazy, we (the U.S.) pay someone to print our money, charge us. If we take out a loan, which is our own money, we have to pay it back. Where does this make since?

            We’re are quickly turning into a country of credit, and the Fed is more than welcome to loan it to us. Problem is these private banks aren’t looking out for us when it comes to controlling this money. Mayer Amschel Rothschild said “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws”. This is a very bold statement, but sadly it is true. With the control of a nations money, you now have control of their military and political leaders. When you control those things what else is there to stand in your way?

            Our dollar is no longer backed by gold or silver like it once was, which in turn caused our dollar to significantly drop in value. Not only does the Fed have control of our money but also interest rates it charges banks to borrow from them. That trickles down and affects a lot of things, especially when it comes to loans from the banks.

            Woodrow Wilson, towards the end of his term, even apologized for signing the Federal Reserve Act, calling it the greatest mistake of his presidency. Wilson wasn’t the only one that warned us about a central bank, or bankers controlling the countries money. People like Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Congressman Ron Paul, etc. These were men of power, influence, and intelligence. All of them warned us, but no one is listening. I highly doubt that it’s not because people don’t care, I believe it’s their (bankers of the Federal Reserve) hold on the media that won’t allow the information to get to the people. Everything in media these days is fabricated. You’re never getting the full truth.

            If we as a country ever plan on getting out of this financial hole, and back to having a powerful dollar again, we need to get rid of the Federal Reserve, and stop spending more than we take in. A country of credit doesn’t last; we need real things backing our dollar. I say we take a stand, get together, and push our elected officials to get rid of the Fed and put the control of money back to the people’s hands. Lets not leave a country full of debt to our children; instead let’s leave them a country of wealth.

            Here are some quotes from Woodrow Wilson and others about the Federal Reserve.

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” –Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States

 

“Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” – James A. Garfield, President of the United States

 

“It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” – Henry Ford

 

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.” – Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President of the United States

 

“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.  It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than beaurocracy.  It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.  I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear.  Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.” – Abe Lincoln, President of the United States

 

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” – Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States

An open letter to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

In the course of human history, no social concept or idea has remained as constant as the notion of individual freedom.  Maybe this is because of the
nature of our violent, unforgiving world, where survival can be so difficult
and death is always so final.  Maybe it’s just because we dream.  In any
case, mankind has always understood freedom, recognizing it when it exists
and certainly, recognizing when it does not.

The great social experiment that has been the United States of America, and
has made a United States Supreme Court possible,  owes much to the countless
generations of brave dreamers who lived and died for just the idea of
freedom.  Men and women, who longed, fought and failed for just the chance
to live in a place where the protection of freedoms of each individual
citizen was considered their ultimate shared responsibility.  The United
States of America could have never existed without their sacrifice to the
development of the idea of a government “by the people”.

Certainly, the idea of freedom and a government “by the people” has
represented an obstacle for those who would put personal gain above the
rights of the common man.  From feudal kings and tyrants of centuries long
gone, to political ideologues and pseudo-religious madmen of more recent
centuries, each despotic regime has worn the same earmarks and used the same
methods to advance their agendas.  They have squashed discussion, they have
controlled commerce and they have resorted to the same, exact, predictable
displays of violence and fear. 

Even after America was formed, those who would seek to advance their own
agenda’s at the cost of our personal freedoms, have still existed.  There
have been many examples, like the coal and lead miners fought and died when
labor unions sought to level the playing field with greedy corporations in
the early decades of the last century.   At the cost of thousands of
American lives, strong and well-intentioned anti-trust and anti-monopoly
legislation, were eventually enacted.  The government of that day and the
American people believed that fairness and justice is more important than
unchecked profiteering.  The people who paid with their lives did so knowing
that only their future generations would ever benefit.  They knew their own
lives would be spent for this cause for no personal gain.

Now, the United States of America, and the idea of individual freedoms, is
under attack by the same kinds of despotic profiteers.  They do not call
their domains kingdoms anymore, they use the term “markets”.  They do not
seek to physically enslave people, but seek complete practical and economic
control of services like healthcare, security, banking, home ownership,
retail goods and services, food production and distribution, transportation
and even education to serve their own ends.  They have collectively and
systematically sought to overturn or diminish the efficacy of the anti-trust
and anti-monopoly laws passed earlier in the previous century.  They believe
they are entitled to pursue any agenda that produces profits and that if
they share a portion, even a small one, with shareholders and investors they
are simply exercising their ‘rights’.  They further believe our economic
survival is dependent on granting them complete control of the so-called
‘world economy’.  They believe this is the birthright of their “personhood”.

They will insist that they have been exercising their freedoms too, and
according to an 1886 Supreme Court case, (
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County_v._Southern_Pacific_Railroa
d> Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, 118 U.S. 394) in a
sense, they have.  This landmark case essentially opened the door to
granting ‘personhood’ to corporations.  Since this decision, corporations
have argued and plotted to obtain the same legal equals of every man, woman
and child in the United States.  They enjoy the same freedoms and
protections we do, but they can influence our electoral processes and
government policy-making in a way no voter or block of voters ever could.
They have invested heavily to have anti-trust/anti-monopoly laws that remain
on the books watered down or ignored.  The insurance industry has even been
granted an exemption from these laws entirely.

Now, you have handed us a new Supreme Court decision, (Citizens United v.
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal
_election_commission/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Federal Election Commission,
No. 08-205).  The common sense restraints that would limit corporate
investment in our political electoral process have been removed under the
ridiculous premise that our founding fathers intended them to be recognized
as ‘persons’.  Like the overturned anti-trust/anti-monopoly laws that were
enacted to protect the American people from self-serving and unfair
corporate profiteers, this decision simply eliminates another obstacle,
allowing nearly unlimited funding for political influence by corporate
concerns.

The effects of this decision will forever change our country.  The already
too-small voice of the public may have been effectively eliminated.  How can
we ever hope seat a representative government again if the rich corporations
and SuperCorporations can pay the billions necessary to elect whomever they
want?  Are all of our airwaves and media to be entirely the domain of the
new corporate feudal lords and tyrants of this new century?

You now have the interests of super-wealthy corporations and the interests
of the common man standing before your court seeking fairness over whose
voice is most important in our political process.  They have brought
lobbyists, lawyers and untold wealth to speak on their behalf.

I would suggest that the common man step aside for the sake of this decision
and seek a more powerful voice to defend our actual personhood, freedom and
our political process before the United States Supreme Court.  Let the dead
coal and lead miners speak for us.  Let the United States Supreme Court
write a decision that explains to the dead Americans who paid with their
actual lives, that the interests of super-wealthy corporations, their
oppressive wealth and their false “personhood” entitle them to subvert
governance “by the people”.  Real persons can die.  Real persons can dream.
Real persons have a real voice.  No corporation, no matter how wealthy, no
matter how influential, no matter how much or how long they argue, ever will
ever be a person.

Have the courage to revisit Citizens United v.
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal
_election_commission/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Federal Election Commission,
No. 08-205.  We hope you hear soon from every concerned American voter and
each of their representatives about a permanent constitutional amendment to
retire this issue forever.  This was a poor decision, let’s hope the
American people have enough voice left to compel you to reverse it. 

Sign the petition to amend the United States Constitution at

or write to your Congressman and Senator.

Just in… Scorpions calling it quits…Sad day In the Rock World

From Blabbermouth.com

Important message to our fans:

“It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you — whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.

“While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was — and how much fun we were still having in the process. But there was also something else: we want to end the SCORPIONS‘ extraordinary career on a high note. “We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.

“We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this

JFK tried to warn us, when will we listen? ce: Jon Tucker

It was Nov. 22, 1963, and one of the last true Presidents was assassinated. The killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, a former marine, shot John Fitzgerald Kennedy in the head. Two days later Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby, a man claimed to have ties to organized crime. After the assassination of JFK, conspiracy theories came out of the wood work about who did it, and if there was a multiple shooter.

            Now if we look at just the facts, and only the facts, it leads us into running in circles chasing our own tail. Now if we look at some “events” that doesn’t have any ties to the actual assassination, but would give reason for it, then we might uncover some hidden truths. Always remember don’t look at the situation, look who has to gain from the situation, and a more heard of saying, “always follow the money trail”.

            To back up the story a little bit we got to look at a few groups first. The CIA, FBI, and MJ-12 aka Majestic 12, are some groups that have connections to Kennedy’s assassination in one way or the other.  Now I know it’s easy to target groups like the CIA and the FBI, but it’s all with good reason. For example the FBI was involved in the clean up and investigation of the towers that fell during 9/11. Now I’m not going to get into the whole 9/11 thing in this article, but there are a few things I wan to point out that would give good reason to target the FBI in JFK’s assassination.  In a crime scene, everything is considered evidence UNTIL the investigation is over or that piece of evidence is considered not useful in the case. So you would think that ever brick and piece of rubble would be evidence and should be looked at individually, right? Well the problem was, with the help of, at the time, Mayor Giuliani, most of the steel was either shipped out to other countries for sale, turned into ships, or other purposes weeks after the attack, way before the 9/11 commission report came out. If I am correct, those beams should have been kept for evidence until the commission report was printed.

            Another thing that has me questioning the FBI was the two most famous and biggest black eye for the FBI was Ruby Ridge, and Waco. If you look into Ruby Ridge incident closely you will find that many protocols were ignored, and the FBI brought on an offense strike. There are many, many more examples I can give on the FBI but I am trying to stay on point so these examples will have to wait for another time.

            Now it’s the CIA’s turn. The problem isn’t trying to find the examples; it’s where to start. I am going to list a few events that we can all look back on and agree, here they are in no order; Iran/Contra scandal, Cocaine smuggling through Mena Airport in Arkansas, attempted assassination of Fidel Castro (black ops), and what I’m about to hit on, the CIA’s mind control programs. MK Ultra being one of the most famous programs. Now at this point you’re probably thinking, okay so what does this have to do with the Kennedy assassination? I’ll be getting to that very soon, but the reason why I brought these all up was to prove that yes, your government can do things like this, it’s been doing it, and will continue to do it as long as we do nothing about it.

            Now to get back on track, MK-Ultra was designed to see if by using drugs like LSD, electroshock treatments, and sleep deprivation could be used to control another’s mind. They were trying to create killers that could not remember after the fact, and/or to create emotionless soldiers. Only problem was it worked… a little to well. These, what we know now as “Manchurian Candidates”, were created and tested on until later when the whistle was blown and the program was shot down.

            Now these victims of these mind control practices were put through “literal hell” one victim would claim. Electroshock treatments that went way beyond the recommended “dose”, extremely large amounts of LSD, and would be given drugs to keep the patient awake although the brain and body were extremely worn out. Now with this knowledge, that can be found anywhere you look about MK-Ultra and other projects, I am able to move on.

            When Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, he fit the profile of someone whose mind had been controlled in the way of mind control. Repeatedly Oswald said he had not killed anyone. He did not know anything about shooting JFK, or Officer J.D. Tippit. Over and over again he denied the shooting. Now lets think about this, normally a person that has murdered another person will deny it. Of course no one wants to spend time in jail, but on the other hand if you are killing for a “cause” especially a political one, you want to be known, you have to be known so people can understand the motives in which you did it. Not Oswald however, officers who questioned him said he sounded “utterly clueless, confused, and disoriented”.

            Now if we can all remember later down the road Robert Kennedy’s assassination. Sirhan Sirhan was arrested with a pistol in his hands. They had caught him red handed. Witnesses said he looked “almost happy, kind of like a stupid smile on his face.” “He was relaxed, very carefree until the officers were holding him down and arresting him.” When it came to the questioning by the police, he, like Oswald, was very confused, and clueless to what had happened. Even under hypnosis, and even being coached into admitting he killed Robert Kennedy, Sirhan still had no idea he killed the Robert Kennedy. Even under hypnosis he could not recall the actual shooting. If that doesn’t scream mind alteration and mind control then I don’t know what does.

            Now here is where the conspiracy really comes into play. April 27, 1961, John F. Kennedy made a speech warning the public about secret societies and a shadow government. After the Bay of Pigs, JFK learned of the secret dealings, the secret use of both the CIA and the military, and the powerful influence over other politicians. He warned groups like the MJ-12, CIA, and FBI that if they didn’t release all the information they had to the public “heads were going to roll”. Once these groups felt that they could no longer keep all this under tight lip with JFK around, the assassination plot was set.

            Now how was MJ-12 involved? Well let’s look at what MJ-12 is. MJ-12 or Majestic 12, was created to observe UFO activity. It is comprised of military leaders, scientists, and government officials. Years before the Kennedy speech and assassination, there was a “UFO crash” in England where United States worked closely with England officials. It was agreed that the United States would take full authority over this matter and would ship the wreckage and “alien bodies” to the US. Later down the road a journalist named Dorothy Kilgallen, also friend to Marilyn Monroe, started to uncover some of this information that MJ-12 was hiding. Once this information came to Kennedy’s attention, he pushed the MJ-12 group to disclose all information about the UFO cover up.

            Now as these groups got together they had to find away to kill Kennedy without leaving a trail, and most importantly make sure Kennedy would not survive. In a assassination of this caliber, there needs to be someone to blame, and there needs to be members high up to have the power to turn the head while the pieces were put into place. It is widely speculated that the Mafia was involved in Kennedy’s murder. I agree, to a certain degree. I truly believe there was a gunman on the grassy knoll and a last ditch effort gunman if all other attempts failed. These gunmen were members of the mafia that were hired by the CIA. It is somewhat known that the CIA has used mafia members before. If the gunmen weren’t just mafia members, it was definitely a mixture of CIA and the mafia. Oh and where did the FBI come in, yup you guessed it, clean up crew.

            I can go on and on about the other details that show how Kennedy’s murder was a conspiracy, but that’s not my aim for this article. Like I said the situation isn’t what you look at, it’s what others have to gain from it, and in this case, silence was to gain from it.  Here is the link of JFK’s speech on secret societies and a shadow government. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZk8ronces. There is a full audio of his speech, but a lot of the beginning is just introductions. If you do want to hear the full thing it is not hard to find at all, I found at least a few in a small amount of time. This is the main part of it.

            We may never know the exact truths of that day, but we do have a good idea of who had their hands in it. It is a sad time we live in, when one person has the courage to stand up to a strong and powerful machine like these societies, and falls alone. The definition of the world hero/heroine “a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities”, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a true hero. In 1963, that hero was taken away from us; he died alone in his stance against this shadow government. No longer will I let a hero stand alone. As the famous saying goes “I’d rather die on my feet, then serve on my knee’s”. Lets fight for justice, truth, freedom, and the men and women who threaten to take that away from us.

Good One Uncle Ted :P

From Blabbermouth:

Rock legend Ted Nugent sounded off on the state of government interference in American lives during a recent appearance on the Fox Business channel. Watch the segment below. Never one to mince words, Ted Nugent recently said he wants President Obama arrested for being a Communist and that he plans to kill an extra hundred animals this year to spite Paul McCartney, among others. Although the “Motor City Madman” is renowned for his hawkish and outlandish demeanor, his interview with Royal Flush magazine might just take the cake as his most violent.

Nugent, a political conservative and avid hunter said at one point, “My name is Ted Nugent and because of Pam Anderson and because of Bill Maher and because of Paul McCartney, all the members of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), whenever I hear the word ‘animal’ or ‘rights’ in the same paragraph, I’m killing an extra hundred of something this year.”

Here’s the link for the rest and a video too 🙂
