The US Poor: An Engineered Collapse

Raised gardens for self-sufficiency and organic, fresh veggies.
This morning I read an article on NPR reporting an interview of the new Catholic Pope, before he was selected as such.

This interview is being argued as a fake, but there were so many truths within that transcription, I thought to share some of them.
One that stood out for me, is that the poor are being created by greedy power-hungry men in our government, and in their dependence, they turn to the government that made them poor.

The Catholic leader couldn't see how their institution could help this number and type of poverty-stricken people. (Of course, their structure of blind obedience and ban on natural marriage for their priests which has set up the sad number of sexual abuse victims is already bankrupting them.) He said the US is headed for a type of Communism.
Link to article below:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100208720/did-pope-francis-really-say-that-socialism-causes-misery-and-that-america-is-heading-towards-a-form-of-communism/

Since this story might disappear, I'll also paste it below...

How true. With the banking schemes and real estate bust, and the money sucked out of our US economy by illegal wars, (which wars have made govt. cronies like those with interests in Halliburton wealthy beyond reason), many are on Food Stamps and record numbers of people are applying for Social Security Disability benefits. Once they are on SSI, they usually stay there.

 In one town, according to an OPB radio broadcast program yesterday, March 23, 2013, 1 in 4 working-eligible people were collecting this. Some were just uneducated enough to take certain jobs, and others didn't have local opportunities that fit their particular health restrictions. Bear in mind, with the GMO foods, vaccines, medications, etc. many are headed for poor health if not poisoned sufficiently, already. So, in the unemployment statistics, with 250,000 a month? applying for SSI, we are not getting the whole WELFARE STATE picture. The people getting wealthy on this current fraud are the attorneys, who are allowed to scrape up 1/4 to 1/3 of the back pay due, upon approval of SSI.

For interest: Halliburton is also involved in Fracking for natural gas, which is polluting the underground aquifers, so many die of cancer, are dispossessed of their wasted lands and homes, and can even light the water that now comes out of their taps. Halliburton escaped any liability in the BP Oil Gush in the Gulf, didn't they? And against EPA supposed edicts, BP sprayed Correxit on the oil- poisoning workers, sea life, citizens, crops and animals far inland as the toxic acid rain keeps falling.

The Safe Drinking Water Act excludes Fracking

See it in the ENERGY POLICY ACT OF 2005.  Go to Page 102, Section 322. HYDRAULIC FRACTURING.
SEC. 322. HYDRAULIC FRACTURING.
Paragraph (1) of section 1421(d) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300h(d)) is amended to read as follows:
‘‘(1) UNDERGROUND INJECTION.—The term ‘underground injection’—
‘‘(A) means the subsurface emplacement of fluids by well injection; and
‘‘(B) 
EXCLUDES
‘‘(i) the underground injection of natural gas for purposes of storage; and
‘‘(ii) t
he underground injection of fluids or propping agents (other than diesel fuels) pursuant to hydraulic fracturing operations related to oil, gas, or geothermal production activities.’’
**********
How are we being molded into dependent people?
Toxic processed foods, meat and dairy to cripple and kill people with disease, making us dependent on our corrupt medical field.
Some states now have laws that outlaw collecting rain water.
Various articles have been published of cities denying gardens on personal property:
http://www.activistpost.com/2013/03/city-hall-takes-note-of-front-yard.html
Chemtrail spraying with barium, etc. covering the landscape.
Vaccines with foreign proteins to cause auto-immune disease and contaminated with virus's that cause cancers.
Allowing the government to engage in illegal wars, putting our men and women in harm's way for profit and control of oil and resources. Many come home physically and mentally disabled.
Allowing the government to conduct testing on prisoners, military, and citizens at large.
Allowing widespread corruption like the 9/11 Scam, and the consequent murder of witnesses and reporters and their families.
Any hurried illegal 'clean-up' of a crime scene-like  9/11 or the latest murder of 9/11 author/pilot  Philip Marshall with his two teenage children and dog, reported as a homicide/suicide or the Sandy Hook School massacre where prior to the event, the Medical Examiner has a new letter that denies pediatric autopsy reports as public information. Some internet reports said an AR-15 has a 30 count clip, and is reported to have been left in the car, which car was owned by a recently jailed criminal, yet each of the 24? victims had 3-11 gunshot wounds.
Sonar testing that kills sea life.
Weaponizing virus's and vaccines to cause cancer.
Autism in 1 of 50 of our children, still not illuminated or admitted-Formaldehyde, aluminum, squalene, and other toxins in vaccine adjuvants.
Mercury allowed in amalgam dentistry banned in other countries.
Fluoride and aluminum put in breads, etc., and City Councils trying to add it to water without public consent.
Dispersion of misinformation in government/corporation-controlled media.
Soaring Alzheimer's rates with the cause not admitted.
Aspartame quietly added to milk and other products for our children.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (GMO corn) creating obesity and diabetes, etc.
No labeling of GMO's, denying  basic human rights and freedom.

News stories by government-run media are shaping various conversations:
Gun control-as if we don't have a right to defend our lives and homes against criminals or rogue governments. They use media shills (a plant or a stooge) like Piers Morgan who can't stand up against common sense. Forcing a revolt after enough violation, so Fema camps can be used, putting the now-trained new hires to work.
NDAA or National Defense Authorization Act pushed by Obama so citizens can disappear without cause or defense for an indeterminate amount of time, which has meant death in countries like Chile, in past social experiments and unrest.

Did you read where Obama has been indicted by a Federal Court for violating the Constitution when he recently self-appointed 3 in the Labor Department, without Congressional approval? Have we heard of his Impeachment Process? He is a rogue 'leader'. He and many current government officials are guilty of TREASON.

Just last night I read where Hillary Clinton is under House Arrest for Treason, moving 1.7 Trillion? to some bank in China, "One week ago Friday, the same day Jack Lew was sworn in as U.S. Treasury Secretary, sociopath Hillary attempted to illegally divert $1.7 TRILLION of U.S. Treasury funds to a secret CIA proprietary account in the People's Republic of China".and involved in the CIA assassination in Benghazi, and the Military is ready to intervene on Obama, whose taster is sick with the flu, so he didn't dare eat his lobster dinner the other night.
**I don't know the legitimacy of these stories, but they fly in times of great public distrust for our leaders.

 Dr. Leonard Coldwell says it well in his video speech below: We don't forget. We are coming for you--all the criminals-the Bush Administration, Clintons, and Obama, Cheney, etc. guilty of TREASON against their own country and people.

Backyard chickens can be a great hobby. They can also spread disease.
Poor Chickens. Getting a Bad Rap....  
Instead of a warning to wash your hands and handle the waste responsibly, as in composting for gardens, we get this propoganda.

Note: For me, the CDC, FDA, EPA and other tax-consuming Govt. agencies all need to be replaced, as they're contaminated by Corporate greed. No Monsanto or Pharmaceutical Shills and past CEOs have a place in government, like Obama has done.

Backyard Chickens: Cute, Trendy Salmonella Spreaders

Backyard chickens have become a hot trend, loved as a source of healthy local food and fluffy wonderfulness. But backyard birds have also sparked outbreaks of salmonella, the CDC warns.

So, growing dependence on a Government that has no right to impose the above afflictions, is causing poverty of finances, health and spirit.  Comments welcome.

Did Pope Francis really say that socialism causes misery, and that America is heading towards a form of communism?

[Latest: The Diocese of Salford link to the interview is now dead. So I think we have our answer. The "interview" has almost certainly been concocted to appeal to a certain sort of conservative American. It's meticulously done, so it did take me a few minutes to be sure it was fake. I'm leaving it online because the hoax is interesting in itself. I mean, why bother?]
[Update: Here's why on reflection I think this interview has to be fake. The journalist who conducted it would have the most incredible world exclusive on his hands. It would have been out there on the day of Francis's election, not dribbled to an obscure English diocesan website with no identifying details.]
The Catholic diocese of Salford has published the most extraordinary purported interviewbetween Pope Francis and a Left-wing American journalist, supposedly conducted shortly before the conclave. I cannot, repeat cannot, vouch for its authenticity. If it's genuine, as the diocese says it is (while being unavailable to answer press inquiries), then it's a bombshell. But is it a fake? I just don't know, but can't resist reproducing it in order to gauge your reactions. If I had to put money on it? Notgenuine. The cardinal's supposed demolition of the journalist is just too neat. And I haven't seen any evidence that the new Pope speaks English so fluently. The instant reaction to it on Twitter, for what it's worth, is one of deep suspicion. But it is being circulated by a diocese of the Catholic Church, an official source which ought to take extreme care before attributing political quotes to the Pope, so here we go:
The following is a transcript of an interview between an atheist American journalist and then-Cardinal Bergolio [says the Salford website]. It is clear why the interview was never broadcast. In it, Cardinal Bergoglio makes mincemeat of the typical leftist interview techniques of so many people in the broadcast media.
CAMERA ON / BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
REPORTER: Welcome Cardinal.
BERGOGLIO: Thank you. Happy to speak with you.
REPORTER: Well, let me get into it directly. Last conclave, you were almost elected Pope. Can this happen again?
BERGOGLIO: What? That I will almost be the Pope, again?
REPORTER: No. Will you be the next Pope?
BERGOGLIO: Friend, I’m only jesting with you. I understand the question. I will not be the next Pope.
REPORTER: Why not?
BERGOGLIO: I chose not to. God has someone else in mind I’m certain.
REPORTER: But you would take the job if it were offered.
BERGOGLIO: I think not.
REPORTER: Why not.
BERGOGLIO: I believe I’m too embroiled in the secular fiasco. It is a spiritual job and I’m a soldier. Look at the nature of power. In Europe first and now in America, elected men have taken it upon themselves to indebt their people to create an atmosphere of dependency. And why? For their own selfish need to increase their own personal power. I’ve been a keen observer of the effect this has on the people, especially the poor. They are very good at creating poverty where there is no reason to explain it. My job is try to alleviate poverty and if that means to oppose the ‘cause then I will not be Pope.
REPORTER: But you are worried you would be a spend thrift pope?
BERGOGLIO: Friend. Where did you go to school?
REPORTER: La Salle College High School in Pennsylvania and….
BERGOGLIO: And after that?
REPORTER: College of the Holy Cross.
BERGOGLIO: They told me you were Catholic. Once elected the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope. I’m just saying I’m not that man.
REPORTER: So what is your job?
BERGOGLIO: My job is to ask you, “why are men creating poverty?”
REPORTER: What do you mean?
BERGOGLIO: I mean that poverty is part of the natural condition and that is bad enough. But my task is to prevent the aggravation of this condition. The ideology that adds to the poverty must be denounced. I have and this is the reason I will not be Pope. I have a saying for myself, “No more poverty than God originally intended in the fall from Grace.”
REPORTER: Oh.
BERGOGLIO: It is a spiritual choice and I’m a political person. I’m sorry. I know you will make more money from this interview if I’m Pope. Or want to be Pope. But I’m sorry. I can’t help you. God has already chosen someone anyway. Right? You learned this in school?
REPORTER: Yes. Well… Where are you on the issues that matter most, issues about contraception, women priests?
BERGOGLIO: This might be a surprise to you, but I am Catholic. We are Catholic. It isn't an issue and for you to pretend that it is being debated goes against God.
REPORTER: If you were Pope then you would not change anything.
BERGOGLIO: Certainly God would direct the new Pope to have more compassion for these newly created poor. And if there is any social justice in the Church, the new Pope would have a stern word for the creators of the new situation.
REPORTER: But you are staunchly orthodox on the issues of abortion, contraception, and same-sex marriage.
BERGOGLIO: I am Catholic.
REPORTER: You were punished for opposed same-sex marriage in Argentina. You opposed free contraception and the government exiled you. What do you have to say about that?
BERGOGLIO: I am Catholic.
REPORTER: In the secular world, as you say, you follow the conservative line. You oppose, uh, same-sex marriages, very popular with young people. You are conservative on birth control. Won’t that be the doom of the Church, alienating young people who support reality based faith?
BERGOGLIO: Since God created the world, he also created reality. You seem to be arguing that a man can’t be Catholic in reality. Son, you are a Catholic?
REPORTER: Yes, of course. I meant no disrespect.
BERGOGLIO: You don’t have to worry about offending me.
REPORTER: Okay, good. Can a, uh, Pope even be elected if he is pro-choice or pro-love? I mean isn’t the election sort of fixed in favor of anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, the election is fixed by God.
REPORTER: Very witty.
BERGOGLIO: Well, you did ask.
REPORTER: It is being reported in America that you are against marriage equality. Is that why you feel that you can’t be Pope?
BERGOGLIO: God chooses the Pope and God also made men and women different.
REPORTER: But you are …a conservative and oppose abortion!
BERGOGLIO: Friend the expression on your face gives you away.
REPORTER: I’m sorry, I’m just trying to do my job.
BERGOGLIO: And what job is that?
REPORTER: I’ve been sent to interview eight men in line for the papacy.
BERGOGLIO: And I guarantee you that they all oppose abortion. So…
REPORTER: But…
BERGOGLIO: So, you feel like you need to alienate the eight from the flock?
REPORTER: That isn’t it. How can the church attract young people when it is opposed to abortion and contraception?
BERGOGLIO: Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency. So we will call it a draw.
REPORTER: Doesn't the church need to modernize?
BERGOGLIO: Finally, I’ve met someone who will advocate publicly painting over the Sistine Chapel with one of the contemporary street artists. Are you sure you support this and in public?
REPORTER: What?
BERGOGLIO: Forgive me, I was rude.
REPORTER: Won’t the new pope, don't these cardinals realize what they've gotta do if they want to attract young people to the church?
BERGOGLIO: I am a cardinal.
REPORTER: Won’t the new pope, don't you and the other cardinals realize what they must do if they want to attract young people to the church?
BERGOGLIO: I’ve explained the mysteries of the atom to rural young people and also I’ve explained the Grace of God. And you know what? They can understand both perfectly well. Frankly, I have more trouble with adults understanding both.
REPORTER: But they have done focus groups; if you want to spread your message you can't have this position that's anti-gay marriage and anti-contraception.
BERGOGLIO: And you treat the church as a political institution.
REPORTER: So we were not gonna see any kind of change when it comes to things that matter like abortion or gay marriage?
BERGOGLIO: All eight of the men you will be talking to are Catholic.
REPORTER: Okay, I understand. Let’s talk about your controversial stand on poverty.
BERGOGLIO: You want it to be controversial?
REPORTER: But don’t you blame various governments around the world for poverty?
BERGOGLIO: Some. Yes.
REPORTER: But you refuse to blame corporations for their role.
BERGOGLIO: Okay, they also told me you have a degree in economics. No buyer, or seller either, enters into any exchange against his will. It is the nature of the economy. Man is frail, and he makes mistakes and sometimes is greedy and they enter into exchanges that don’t help them. Sometimes they become poor, but they made choices. There is nothing the Church can do except try to educate people to become good consumers. Chiefly, for me, it is an education solution on that side. And the Church has more schools around the globe than any other faith. I say teach the people to save their souls, and also teach them how not to become poor. And now not to allow the government to trick them into poverty.
REPORTER: And you blame government.
BERGOGLIO: No, I blame the self-serving politicians.
REPORTER: So your solution to poverty is to change the nature of politics?
BERGOGLIO: Please feel free to broadcast this; I don’t want to be pope. Friend, you are a socialist and your friends are socialists. And you are the reason for 70 years of misery in Russia and Europe now is seizing in pain from your policies. You believe in the redistribution of wealth and it makes entire populations poor. You want to nationalize everything and bring every human endeavor under your control. You destroy a man’s incentive to take care of his very own family, a crime against nature and nature’s God. You want social control over populations and incrementally you are making everything against the law. Together this ideology creates more poverty today than all the corporations you vilify have in the history of man.
REPORTER: I’ve never heard such from a Cardinal. I’m not sure if you are here to help yourself or disqualify yourself.
BERGOGLIO: Please air this interview. People being dominated by socialists need to know we don’t all have to be poor. Some poverty is part of our being cast out of the Garden of Eden. But look at the empire of dependency created by Hugo Chavez. Promising them, tricking them into worship of government and his very own person. Giving them fish but not allowing them to fish. If a fisherman does develop a talent today in Latin America; he is castigated and his catch stolen by the socialists. He stops…
REPORTER: You would be the first pope from the Americas.
BERGOGLIO: He stops fishing. I will not be pope, but yes I am from Argentina.
REPORTER: And you didn't want to be pope?
BERGOGLIO: God didn’t want me to be pope.
REPORTER: Perhaps he changed his mind.
BERGOGLIO: Ludicrous.
REPORTER: Okay, I’m sorry. I feel like we are getting off on the wrong path. I’m sorry.
BERGOGLIO: Yes, lets be productive.
REPORTER: You are a classic conservative Catholic theologian?
BERGOGLIO: Of course there's politics clearly in the Curia throughout the Vatican, but in terms of church teaching, it's not a political institution. It's religious.
REPORTER: I heard people, in fact, media people, "Is this cardinal, is he a liberal? Is he a conservative?"
BERGOGLIO: Tell them please, “He's a Catholic.” It's no more complicated than that. Catholicism is what it is. You don't have to believe it; you may not. You don't have to follow it; you may not go to Mass. But it's not up to you to modernize us.
REPORTER: You see no room for reform?
BERGOGLIO: It's not up to any religion, although some do this, 'cause they want the money. They want the membership. But the Catholic Church doesn't do it. It's not up to them to bend and shape and mold itself to accommodate the shrinking depravity of a worldwide culture. It's to provide the exact opposite. It's to provide a beacon out of depravity, socialism and sin, among other things.
REPORTER: If pope you would be bad news for the left.
BERGOGLIO: I won’t be pope. But I am opposed to abortion. I’m opposed to euthanasia. The pro-choice movement is a culture of death. I oppose the demonic same-sex marriage. I oppose gay adoption on the grounds that it is discriminatory to the child. I was exiled by the Cristina Kirchner government, but I hold no grudge. How is this bad news?
REPORTER: John Paul II rescued you?
BERGOGLIO: He made me the archbishop of Buenos Aires. Yes.
REPORTER: And so you feel like you owe the Right some sort of repayment?
BERGOGLIO: There are many values… and many types of people. Perhaps it is my interest in mathematics, but I’m the type of human who is interested most in the truth. God gave me a healthy love for the truth. Loyalty is only a virtue if in support of the truth or another important value.
REPORTER: Cristina Kirchner said you held a grudge.
BERGOGLIO: Funny I’ve never spoken her name. Not once. And it is a battle of ideas not a battle of two or more people. I’m only concerned with ideas.
REPORTER: She said you refused to speak up for civil rights violations.
BERGOGLIO: As a spiritual leader, I opposed cultural modernization, and so I became a political enemy. I understand politics as well as I do mathematics.
REPORTER: And the Jesuits, they were eager to cast you out, which they did.
BERGOGLIO: So you are implying that I’m a vengeful priest?
REPORTER: Do you feel that you need to erase the progress recently made in Latin America?
BERGOGLIO: I say “poverty”. You say “progress”.
REPORTER: Let's talk about poverty.
BERGOGLIO: Sure, there is voluntary poverty that is virtuous. Many understood the nobility of making themselves independent of the fleeting things of earth. They are distractions from our pursuit of the truth. I have no problem with this. I only oppose involuntary poverty.
REPORTER: That is what I thought you would say.
BERGOGLIO: Why?
REPORTER: Because you are a capitalist right?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, I think capital is needed to build a factory, a parochial school, or a church or hospital, all. Do you oppose factories or churches or hospitals?
REPORTER: Of course not but don’t you think the capital is sucked out of people’s hands by greedy business types to pay for these factories?
BERGOGLIO: No, I think people agree, through their economic choices, that some of their money goes to build these. Capital building should be voluntary. Only when the politician confiscates their wealth, to build government factories, government schools, government hospitals; only then do the people not agree. Money given voluntarily is legitimate to build with. Money coerced from the people is not legitimate to build with, because it isn’t given voluntarily.
REPORTER: You are opposed to all government?
BERGOGLIO: No of course not. But it isn’t the seat of wisdom in any society I’ve seen in my life. The best government was created by the Americans, in which they admitted that people are “endowed by their creator” and most of the administration of society was left to the relationship between God and man. However, slowly that has been eroded by the atheists on the left, who would replace man’s relationship with God with a new relationship with an opportunist like Hugo Chavez.
REPORTER: I just found it fascinating that you were willing to stand up to an entire government in Argentina. You where cast aside. Didn’t you care about your career?
BERGOGLIO: Yes, there are people who cave to worldly authority. Even priests.
REPORTER: But you didn’t?
BERGOGLIO: No, I changed nothing. How did I have the power to change anything in church teaching? My opinion? The democrats, seeking votes, only wanted me to change my opinion and legitimize their decadence. I did not, as evidenced by the fact that I was teaching high school math in small isolated town.
REPORTER: I’m sorry that happened to you.
BERGOGLIO: Why don’t you feel for others oppressed for their interest in freedom.
REPORTER: Freedom isn’t punished anywhere, is it?
BERGOGLIO: Certainly it is.
REPORTER: In Latin America?
BERGOGLIO: I’m afraid Latin America is lost. The people of the entire area are controlled by a bloc of militant “socialist” regimes in the region, most prominently Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua. They have a gun pointed at their head. So their heart is now captured. Who will save them at this point?
REPORTER: So the game is over. Checkmate?
BERGOGLIO: Friend, I’ve been studying America this month, before the Pope chose to resign. You must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of Thomas Jefferson’s people. America must not fall to the new painted communism. Even the low information voters don’t want America to be sold into slavery. I pray they cast out the money changers in their government! What manner of government is there that condones sin? Abomination upon abomination–giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly! You are an American. Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin.
REPORTER: These are pretty radical ideas.
BERGOGLIO: No. Perhaps reactionary. Radical means something different. But a very long time ago, Khrushchev warned, that we cannot expect Americans to fly from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small injections of socialism until they suddenly awake to find out they have Communism. This is what is happening now in an ancient bastion of freedom. How can America save Latin America when they are slaves to the government themselves?
REPORTER: I’m having a hard time digesting most of this.
BERGOGLIO: The truth can be painful. You look angry; do you want to stop or ask a question? … But you have created a new type of state, the so-called ‘welfare state.’ This has happened in order to respond to the needs of the politically created poor. However, intervening directly is depriving the original society of its responsibility. Families escape responsibility in the welfare state. And churches even escape responsibility. People stop giving to charity and see every poor person as the government’s problem. I am a Catholic priest and there are no poor for me to take care of, they are made permanently poor and the property of the politicians.
REPORTER: I’m not sure this interview is going to work.
BERGOGLIO: You asked and now you will listen, my son. The social assistance state leads to a loss of human energies and an inordinate increase of public agencies, which are dominated more by bureaucratic thinking than by real concern for helping people. Needs are best understood and satisfied by people who are closest to them who act as neighbors and parish members to those in need. It should be added that certain kinds of demands often call for a response which is not simply material but which is capable of perceiving the deeper human need. This is not to mention the welfare state’s excesses and abuses.
REPORTER: I think we are done.
BERGOGLIO: Wait. If I speak on the ordination of women, on celibacy, on divorce, will you air this interview and my message?
REPORTER: No, we are done.
BERGOGLIO: Partially what irritates me to the core is the media’s inability to look at anything without looking into the cause of the various problems. People are made poor so they will vote for the very candidates that made them poor.
REPORTER: Have a nice day and thanks for your time.

Hi Pamela,
Interesting information. We seem to be at a critical crossroad in our history. It's shameful that we can have multiple drugs prescribed to us for whatever ails us, but I can't buy raw milk...it's too dangerous. What has happened to "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food"?

We need a change. People like you (and me) are the face of change. Live a simple life without excess and without abuse to others or our environment. Seems easy if we could keep government in check.

Keep living well and encouraging others!

Thank you, Mark, for your comments. An ex-military friend/leader today shared how he was amazed that Obama, et al, had gotten away with so much, like Fast and Furious, etc.
Just the insurance fraud of 9/11 involving Building 7 that was pulled in a controlled demolition, or the telltale remnants of nano thermite makes me shake my head. Of course the loss of life is criminal, and it doesn't seem to stop.
I'd like to understand what agencies, courts or leaders are not acting to end this, and why.
I am a bit reluctant to believe that sharing my political interests and beliefs is good for my financial or physical health, but we have to speak out.
When I saw a recent article in the Oregonian labeling some as Anarchists, and asking Where do they Hide?, I realized that the media is busy shaping the coming 'attractions'.
The Thesaurus lists anarchists as terrorists, insurgents and revolutionaries.
What is a rogue leader who commits treason?
Our history is about revolution to demand change. It is too bad criminal factions have taken over key positions in so many aspects of our leadership.
Any time Government tries to be Paternal, and tells us what we can and can't eat, and removes our right to know by valid labeling, there is mal intent. Every such action creates the need for reaction or action.
It's good to be involved, but it's not without risk in today's world.
One of my favorite memories was buying cream fresh from the dairy and dividing it among other moms, and making wonderful cream pies.
