And you thought ‘Secret Societies’ were nonsense

Well, I have a little bit of free time on my hands so I figured I would give the public something to think about.

Freemason Symbol

I recently watched a video from Dr. Walter Veith (former atheist, now a Christian) regarding “Secret Societies.” From Freemasons, Jesuits, Skull & Bones, Illuminati and the others, he covers the entire gambit.

Skull & Bones Symbol

He doesn’t give you second hand information; instead, he gives you quotes and excerpts “straight from the horse’s mouth.” So, give yourself some time to watch and digest the information. I’m not saying I think this video is 100% correct, but it sure does make a lot of sense. I think you will find it quite interesting even if you don’t “buy” it.

 

The Secrets behind Secret Societies

The Bankers own you

I’m not an Obama lover or hater. I’m not a Republican or Democrat. As a black American, I feel no obligation whatsoever to support Obama.

I probably understand the history of public relations/propaganda, marketing, advertising, etc. better than most who choose PR as a career. (Please review a previous post for A real lesson in global propaganda, PR, marketing, and advertising)

After reading The Creature from Jekyll Island, I fully understand the global banking system, and more specifically the Federal Reserve. I understand the true agenda of  the Council on Foreign Relations and other organizations who “influence” American politics.

What I don’t understand is why people think the “Shadow Government” is so far fetched (actually I do understand it, those people have blinders on and don’t want to think that it’s possible). The shadow government is real, and as long as people don’t believe it is real then it operates fluidly with no obstruction. The Fed is a major player in the shadow government and has been orchestrating the fall of America since its inception in 1913 (formulated in 1910 by a group of bankers and Sen. Nelson Aldrich).

For those of you who pay attention to current events and world news, then you know that Gordon Brown (UK Prime Minister) has been calling for a global economic regulator and currency; he’s not the only one – China, France, Russia and a few others have joined in the call as well. The World Bank (a Federal Reserve spinoff) will more-than-likely be the central figure in the creation of a global economic regulator and currency.

As for America, let’s just put it this way, it’s easier to bring America to it’s knees than it is to bring up the rest of the world.

Just open your mind to another possibility and watch the video for an explanation.

America: Land of the Free?

By Luther Hollis

I have finally decided to tackle the idea of “American freedom” due to one of this past week’s major headlines, “Interracial couple denied marriage license.”

American freedom is dead.

A few years ago, I thought about the subject of freedom in America after reading about how we are required to have a license for everything.

Have you bought your freedom?

Hunting, fishing, marriage, driving, business, licenses to sell real estate, the list goes on and on. Basically, you name the activity and there probably exists some sort of license for it.

Yeah, I know that these are streams of income for the municipalities but that doesn’t negate the truth that we are not free in the “Land of the Free.”

I understand the necessity of a license to drive, that’s a no brainer, but why must we get permission to get married, go fishing, or to even leave the country?

Although it is not likely to be denied one of the aforementioned licenses, it is possible as we have seen happen in Louisiana this week.

I also understand having a system of basic laws, you know – no murdering, stealing, raping, and the such. However, I do not understand the whole “war on drugs.” It’s okay to drink and smoke cigarettes but other drugs are off limits (no, I am not condoning drugs); and yes, cigarettes and alcohol are drugs.

Even though I am not a proponent for gay marriage, I have recently come to the opinion that if they want to get married, that is their business.

Think about code enforcement; you are told to what specifications YOUR PROPERTY must hold to. Guess it’s not fully your property huh?

Now don’t get me wrong, I understand the need for law and order, but I think it is rather peculiar that I can’t just go catch some fish for dinner without fear of being ticketed because I have not paid for fishing permission.

You get my drift?

The Government said so…

The prevailing wave of American propaganda tends to shape the thinking of the wonderful stand-up patriot that believes the government does what is best for them. Alrighty then…

I could go even further into our “Land of the Free” exploration but I won’t…I want you to think about your freedom next time you watch the news and hear some story that someone was denied a license or cited because they didn’t get proper permission to hunt or protest (yeah, you need permission to protest in most cities).

Next time you hear some moron like Rush Limbaugh talking about how President Obama is taking our freedoms away, the fact is the government has been doing it long before Obama and will continue to do so after Obama.

America: Land of the Free – not since 1913

Help, I’ve fallen and don’t have health care!

By Luther Hollis III

*Evening News at 6:00 – Health Care Reform
*WITV – “Angry-Mob Style” groups protesting Obama’s health plan
*The Post – Health Care Opposition

You get the picture?

Health care reform is the sizzling topic of America; a Google search of “health care reform” yields almost 23 million results. Polls are showing increasing opposition to the president’s ideas, and more Americans are becoming engaged in local town hall meetings and/or protests.

Polls – He said, she said, they said

Interesting results in Health care poll.

While I typically do not put much faith in polls, they do tend to give a roundabout idea of populace opinion. As you can see from this poll, after Obama’s plan has been explained, individuals are more apt to favor the plan.

Other poll results around the web offer similar results while some show entirely different views. The listing of various polls found at PollingReport.com show more of an equal split between those who favor or oppose Obama’s plan. The same goes for those who approve or disapprove how Obama is handling the health care issue.

Yet still, there are those who have not made a determination on the matter and just are not quite sure of how the health care issue should be handled.

What exactly is Obama’s plan?

I have scoured the government’s health reform website only to find a barrage of “Why we need health reform now” reports and statistics.

The closest I have gotten to knowing exactly what Obama’s healthcare plan is, was found at BarackObama.com. Of the nine page pdf file, roughly two of the pages are a listing of sources and the remaining pages offer Obama and Biden solutions to health care reform.

While I could divide the “plan” up and explain it to you, I think it is best that you actually read through it yourself.

My big question on the plan is, “Why is there approximately 1,000 pages in the proposed ‘America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,’ when Obama lays his plan out in nine pages?” The answer to my big question is that there is an immense amount of information that Americans aren’t being told regarding the long form of the health care reform plan. Again, I am not going to decipher 1,000 pages of legalese for you, but you may review H.R. 3200 at your leisure.

O Canada!

I don’t know about you, but I am quite annoyed by the whole “Look at Canada or Great Britain, their own people hate their health care system, and it’s universal!” argument.

Quite frankly, America cannot be compared to Canada or Britain in relation to the health care system. The American population is higher than both Canada and the UK combined. America has more people uninsured than Canada has people! America, having a much higher population, has more doctors than either country, as well as hospitals and doctor offices.

In all reality, there really isn’t another country to compare America to when discussing health care.

The other thing that sort of irks me are the commercials by Shona Holmes. Holmes is a Canadian citizen and came to the United States for brain tumor surgery. She is the right-wing advocate against a universal health care system because she could not receive treatment in Canada in time to save her life.

First, kudos on her having the tumor removed. But, once again we cannot compare America to Canada. Perhaps if there were more hospitals and doctors in Canada, there would not be a wait for patients.  Additionally, the reason she was able to receive the surgery is because she was able to pay for it with loan money from friends and family. For folks that don’t have health care in America, they usually do not have the type of friends and family to scrape up brain tumor surgery money. Holmes fails to mention all of the other times she has utilized Canadian health care and come out fine.

Isn’t some coverage better than no coverage?

I cannot possibly even think that there are people without health insurance who are not supporting a universal health care solution; this brings me to my final point of this session.

I have no health care at the current moment. I am on unemployment and COBRA was too expensive. I am somewhat on the fence with universal health care. This leaves me to think that those who do not support universal health care are somewhat well-to-do middle class Americans with health care. I deduce that they feel like more of their tax dollars will be diverted to another welfare program, and they may have to give up their private insurer for the government plan. The biggest fear are the overtones of socialism that universal health care emits.

Well, I present the following questions to the readers:

1. Isn’t a government health care plan a good safety net if you ever fall on hard times and lose your private insurance?
2. Does everyone you know have health insurance?
3. Do you care about other people, less fortunate people who may not be able to legitimately afford private health care?

When I answer these questions, I lean more and more toward supporting universal health care.

Let me know what you think about H.R. 3200 – leave me comments, I’ll answer them.
