B'Man's Revolt
Tennessee
INTERNMENT AND RESETTLEMENT OPERATIONS
As you noticed in the video, the UN is associated. I have contended that the main ones who will enforce these types of actions will be foreigners, for I believe that many within our own forces would refuse to take actions such as these. So, when I saw the following at Sherrie Questioning All yesterday, I didn’t doubt it and it confirms many reports of seeing various UN and Russian military sighting around the country over the past few years:
Here is the contents of the email from the person who is part of the Tennessee State Militia and was at a meeting a couple of weeks ago after getting the following email from them today 3/4/13 regarding the above Armored DHS vehicles.
At our last “meeting” several weeks ago, we were advised by a High Ranking Official of the State Guard that they stopped vehicles of this type coming from KY into TN. The troops were wearing very distinct uniforms for the Dept. of Homeland Security that were not recognized and the men they stopped were Eastern European, probably Russian. Apparently, there is some type of FEMA/DHS camp somewhere in Kentucky?
After receiving the above email, we spoke on the phone, I wanted to find out more information about the Russian/Eastern European DHS troops that were handling the armored vehicles.
During our phone conversation. They told me that the uniforms were not typical DHS uniforms but they had Eagles on their sleeves and it was stressed these were different DHS uniforms than regular ones. The Russian/Eastern troops were not armed that were in the DHS uniforms and they were very polite to the State Militia. They were stopped from coming into Tennessee. This person told me that in Gatlinburg, Tennessee people are reporting being questioned and stopped by DHS that are Russian. I was also told that the high ranking official mentioned Kentucky FEMA camps.
What does all of this mean? I don’t have the answer, but we would be stupid if we didn’t consider the FM 3-39.40 document and fact that the Army is hiring people to man them. And I don’t know about you, but I despise the fact that Russians are here, on our soil, asking questions of Americans. especially in Tennessee. Which numbskull in charge allows such a thing?

Second Amendment Preservation Resolution
Local Tennesseans Standing Up
Madison County in West Tennessee has taken a huge step in stating that they support the Second Amendment of the Constitution, by passing the ‘Second Amendment Preservation Resolution’ in a meeting this week.
Commissioner Doug Stephenson stated,
“Send a message to the state and the federal government of where we stand as a county and as a body.”
Commissioner Adrian Eddleman said that he took an oath to defend the constitution.
The measure passed even with six people voting no on it (Katie Brantley, Claudell Brown, Aaron Ellison, William Martin, Luther Mercer, and James Pearson). Assuming that Commissioner Eddleman’s was speaking of his Commissioner’s oath (I can’t seem to find the exact text of that oath for Madison County), then what were these six people swearing to?
Only one (Pearson), as far as I can find, had an excuse:
“I believe any resolution that opposes or may oppose any decision made by the federal government as it relates to the Second Amendment, Constitution, Bill of Rights is unconstitutional in itself for that reason I voted against it.”
He added this idiotic statement:
“I believe state and local government should line up with the decisions of the federal government rather than take opposing positions.”
Accountability of Elected Officials
As a citizen of Madison County, shouldn’t you write and call them to ask exactly what their problem is with honoring their promises and perhaps educate them to what their duties truly are. I would suggest that you send that moron packing in the next election. Or do you believe that the Federal Government should be allowed to dictate what you do, no matter what the Constitution says or what state and local legislation expresses?
The resolution specifically states, “To prevent federal infringement on the right to keep and bear arms; nullifying all federal acts in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”
And that the commissioners are to “reject and nullify the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, executive orders, rules or regulations in violation of the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee.”
The resolution seeks to quantify the sheriff’s duties regarding the Second Amendment. Madison County sheriff David Woolfork had this to say: “I certainly support the Second Amendment and defend the Constitution of Tennessee,” and continued, “I will uphold the oath I have taken five times.”
Text of the resolution:
A resolution, which shall be known and may be cited as the “Second Amendment Preservation Resolution.” To prevent federal infringement on the right to keep and bear arms; nullifying all federal acts in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Whereas, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed,” and
Whereas, all federal acts, laws, orders, rules or regulations regarding firearms are a violation of the Second Amendment, and
Whereas, the Madison County Board of Commissioners declares that all federal acts, laws, orders, rules, regulations – past, present or future – in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States are not authorized by the Constitution of the United States and violate its true meaning and intent as given by the Founders and Ratifiers; and are hereby declared to be invalid in this county, shall not be recognized by this county, are specifically rejected by this county, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this county, and
Whereas, the State of Tennessee has the power given to it by the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and the duty to protect its citizens and prevent infringement of any unconstitutional federal acts, laws, executive orders, rules or regulations, and
Whereas, we believe it is the duty of the Sheriff of each County in Tennessee to take all measures as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and
Now, therefore be it resolved that the Madison County Board of Commissioners hereby supports and request the legislature of the State of Tennessee adopt and enact any and all measures as may be necessary to reject and nullify the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, executive orders, rules or regulations in violation of the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee.
Be it further resolved, that we call upon the State of Tennessee to adopt and enact any and all measures which would clarify the Sheriff’s duty and responsibility to defend the citizens of the State of Tennessee against infringement by the federal government. Furthermore, we hereby ask the Sheriffs of the State of Tennessee to act on behalf of the citizens to defend them against infringements upon their rights and to hold the federal government to the limitations provided under the Constitution.
Be it further resolved that this body directs the office of the County Executive/Mayor to provide a copy of this resolution to all Tennessee counties and requests the Legislature to join in passing this resolution and forwarding it to their state delegations.

What Obama Should Have Said (But Didn’t) About Guns
Forgive my redneck voice, but I felt Jon Rapopport’s article addresses Mr Obama’s gun grab perfectly. So much so, that I felt it should be read aloud and a video made for YouTube.
This Is What I Want Obama To Say About Guns
Because he didn’t say these things (not that I felt he would), it is now time for our Congressmen to show if they support their constituency or a tyrannical government’s dictate by decree. If they cannot stand up and swat this down, then it is time for them to go and real Americans be elected in their place (not that I believe even they will stand up). They have given me no reason to believe they actually care about the Constitution or their oath to protect it. Now is the time to prove me wrong (Marsha Blackburn).
If you, as a participant at this little blog, ever felt the need to contact your elected official, now is the time.
Men like Texas Representative Steve Stockman need to be supported when they say:
“The White House’s recent announcement they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic.”
“I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.” (Emphasis mine)
I hope he means it, for now is not the time for grandstanding. Even Senator Rand Paul claims he will fight it (I just hope that he isn’t following in his dad;s grandstanding footsteps). This isn’t time for a show, but for real men and women to step up.
I would also beseech you to contact other state reps that have shown that they intend to fight this from a state’s rights level and encourage them to go forward. Joe Carr, the TN State Rep of the 48th District has announced his submission of HB42, a bill criminalizing actions by the Feds for denying 2nd Amendment rights to me and my fellow Tennesseans. I need my Rep to join him (and every other to co-sign and vote for this). You must all stand together and tell them this ain’t going to fly in Tennessee.
Joe Carr Announces Submission of HB42 Criminalizing Feds for Denying 2nd Amendment Right to Tennesseans
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 16, 2013
State Representative Joe Carr 48TH Legislative District
Lascassas, TN. State Representative Joe Carr, from Tennessee’s 48th District filed legislation Tuesday, House Bill 0042, that would charge any Federal agent with a Class A Misdemeanor for enforcing or attempting to enforce a federal law, statute, rule, regulation or executive order that bans, restricts or requires the registration of any semi automatic firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition.
“In light of recent comments and actions taken by President Obama and Vice President Biden, I believe it is necessary that Tennessee proactively promote, maintain and defend Tennessee’s sovereignty guaranteed to it in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Additionally this most blatant assault on the 2nd Amendment by the Obama Administration is a systematic effort to disarm the law biding citizens of the United States. The 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights which was intended to protect the individual and the states from the tyranny of government,” stated Representative Carr.
Carr also said, “The 2nd Amendment is not meant just for hunters, it specifically states that ‘A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed’, therefore, the Federal government shall not through law or executive order infringe upon our Constitutional-given rights as citizens of the United States and the Great State of Tennessee.”
Recently, Carr announced the formation of the 10th Amendment Caucus, a group he co-founded with State Representative Judd Matheny from Tennessee’s 47th District. The Caucus will be focused on advancing the Constitutional requirement for states to maintain, promote and defend the 10th Amendment. Additionally, Carr is the architect and author of almost all Illegal Immigration laws in Tennessee. Due to his efforts, Tennessee has some of the strongest enforceable immigration laws in the United States.
For more information please contact Representative Joe Carr at 615-741-2180 or visit http://www.JoeCarr48.com
Joe,
Now is the time to show us if you are real, or not. The rest of you, including Vance Dennis, we are watching and waiting to see if you honor your word (oath) and the Constitution. Vance is new and hasn’t initiated or co-sponsored anything. This would be the best way to start!
Marsha,
You can redeem yourself with me (at least, to a certain extent). Its time for you to honor your oath.

TN Senator Bob Corker Wants To Rebuild Trust In Cockroaches (Washington)
Bob, oh Bob, oh Bob…
Trust in you or the government is a foreign concept to most of your constituents. When I ask fellow Tennesseans if they trust you or the government (and I have asked quite a few, as of late), in 100% of the cases I get a resounding ‘no’ (sometimes, I have to wait until the laughs stop). When discussions arise about the job you and your rich, Israeli- supporting cohorts come up, it is a resounding 100% against. I cannot find one person who thinks you and your fellow usurpers are doing a good job.
Apparently, you are so divided from local residents in your actions that most prefer cockroaches, the flu and basically anything other than the likes of the criminal cabal you have created as a group. I read your email and what I’d like to know is why in the hell don’t you address the real issues causing the financial problems in this country? I believe the answer is easy to discern… because you are enriched by these entities and now, somehow, your redneck ass thinks you are part of some elitist group… banking, military, Jewish supported rich maniacs that would rather sell off your own country to Israeli interests than actually care for your own people or defend the Constitution, of which you swore to protect.
All you want to protect is your money, power and Jewish overlords.
Your email stated:
To begin reducing the nation’s long-term deficits and rebuilding the lack of trust in Washington over excessive spending, U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., today called on Congress to begin making reforms to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to deal with the upcoming fiscal deadlines.
There was more bullshit that others could labor themselves to read, but basically, AGAIN, you criminal refuse to say it… that banking bailouts, unnecessary wars of aggression instigated over lies and obvious Empire building in the name of Israel, the bogus war on drugs (just to name a few that you refuse to name) are what is making this country poor.
Do you think that we believe a damned word you say now? Seriously?
Well, we don’t. I cannot find a single real, poor person (for that’s all I know) that believes ANYTHING that comes from you or your cabal’s lips.
Nothing.
Trust in the likes of people such as yourself will never come. Why? Because, as usual, you don’t address the real issues. You are blaming the poorest of the poor and will not do the right thing. Just more protection of your money interests and your favorite country, Israel.
We know that your allegiance is to others, mainly the love of money and power. And until you address the real issues, you are driving a wedge between yourself and your constituency. Apparently, this doesn’t matter to you or you truly are a very stupid man.
In my estimation, you simply don’t give shit about us.
My uncle is very sick. We don’t know if he will make it through his illness. We visited him a couple of days ago and to see him was painful, because he is going downhill quick.
Even in his pain and suffering, he brought up government. He kept telling us that government officials are liars, thieves and cowardly subservient to “the Jews”. He is 87 and a life-long, stalwart Republican.
When you have lost the likes of him, you have truly lost your base.
I hope and pray that this country makes it to another election cycle so I can revel in the fact that you are voted out.
But, what I truly want more than anything is for this country to hold you accountable for your usurpation of the Constitution and your oath. I hope and pray that you and your Jewish-controlled fellow monsters are imprisoned and made to pay for your crimes against us.
It truly is our only hope.

Merry Vampire Christmas, Tennessee
List of TN Unconstitutional Checkpoints – Christmas 2012
Via Oleg Volk
The TN Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the TN Highway Patrol, will be setting up “no-refusal” checkpoints throughout Tennessee this holiday season. If you are stopped at one of these checkpoints you will be asked for your papers, and likely administered a sobriety test which could include a forced blood sample!!! If you think you have nothing to worry about, keep in mind that TN DUI Officers have in the Past have Been Warned to arrest More People “or else” Which Means They have every Incentive to Meet Their quota. Once your blood and DNA is forcibly extracted from you it gets stored in a government database.
Here is the official release from the TN government -

Richard Noggin Saturday: Tennessee Senator “Bailout Bob” Corker
I know a lot of Tennesseans who are barely making it. Many people, even with some money are very close to losing their homes and are becoming unable to feed their families. People are staying at home, instead of their normal forays out into the community. Almost everyone I know has a loved one that is in dire straights and help them whenever they can… financially, with food, taking care of their children, etc.
Food pantries are growing. Many food aid programs for kids, specifically, are seeing rising numbers.
But these same people cannot see the disconnect of the moron, Bailout Bob Corker (the puppet of the Federal Reserve) that they recently elected (AGAIN) in large numbers. How can people be so stupid to support and elect such a lying fool, when it is obvious what the real issues are. Just look where he gets his money and understand that he is protecting the very ones that are causing the problems in this country.
You can see the interview here, but it will make you want to puke, if you understand anything about what this sycophantic numbnuts is saying.
Instead of suggesting that the mega-bailouts to bankers and giant corporations are an issue (no, he gushes praise on the thieving bastards), instead of explaining that the Empire can no longer be supported (meaning that the US military, the world’s BIGGEST “entitlement” program, ever, MUST BE CUT… SUBSTANTIALLY), instead of telling us that the bogus “war on drugs” or the continued support for apartheid Israel is draining us, he says that Medicare, Social Security and Foodstamps must be cut… you know, the “entitlements”. It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t helped bring more jobs to the market and that most of the people I know receiving foodstamps WORK, TOO. Its just that their jobs don’t pay a living wage.
I’m telling you people that what I have been warning you about is coming.
You are about to see massive changes to the help that poor people need. This means that you are about to witness people suffer and die, while we continue the Empire for Israel and maintain the the $BILLIONS poured out to Israel and the tax cuts to the richest of the rich (like Corkwhore).
When you see the invalids, the mentally disabled, the poor old Grandmothers and the most innocent children starve and die, will you say something or do anything? What will it take for you to understand that whores like Corker are in this for other reasons than to help or to represent you, as Tennesseans?
It is already happening in Ohio, as HeartofShadows points out.
And before any fool starts breaking out the charts that show entitlement spending being more than military “defense” spending, remember that we aren’t defending anything except the profits of military providers. At the same time we are sending jobs away to foreign lands, which force workers to utilize whatever assistance they can get. Don’t just mumble the bullshit, “Get a job” when there are so very few jobs to get.
Maybe you are one of those heartless bastards that thinks we need a culling of the “entitlement” users. If so, I hope you are one of the first to go.

Black Water Extremes
Remember this post from last year? Well, the opposite is happening this year:
Seems like Old Man River is showing us, in his most extreme communications, that he is hurting and will pass that hurt along to the rest of the country.
Last year, he found himself at 107′ and flooding all along his route.
This year, due to the drought, he is at 13-20′ below normal, making it very difficult for commerce. Needed coal, food, and important other commodities are being lightened, so that the barges don’t drag bottom and clog up what’s left of the river.
What would happen if if dried up enough, that these things did stop?
What if the ocean started making its way up river? Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana is experiencing this and are making plans to counter the contamination of their drinking water.
Oh, Black Water, Keep On Rollin’

Marsha Blackburn’s Toothless Bill HR 3608
Take an anti-nausea pill and watch the following interview of Rep Marsha Blackburn, of TN (my Congressperson) with Alex Jones (never mind him).
One might think that the great Mrs Blackburn is doing something to help us against the horrors of the TSA (and their unhinged pedophiles and rapists). She did a report that focused on 50 criminals that TSA hired (including a de-frocked Catholic priest that was a molester). She is “struggling” to get her fellow LAW MAKERS (who, btw, are the ones instrumental in CREATING the TSA) to get on board with awesome bill that simply makes the molesters change their uniforms back to a golf shirt and does NOTHING to keep their fingers out of our vaginas.
Sure, there are criminals in the TSA, like every other area of bureaucracy, but the STRIP Act doesn’t address the root of the issue, which is the entire loss of rights. Hell, if she was going to do something about law-breakers, she needn’t go any further than the floor her office in Washington is found.
The TSA folks are supposed to “assist” travelers as Customer Service Reps. Yet, the idea of their continued rape and other assaults are not as important as the fact that they are using a uniform. Why bother with banning uniforms or their ability to call themselves “officers”? If they are worthless (not having stopped any terrorism since their inception), why not simply disband the entire criminal cabal? Why not turn back the legislation that created the monster instead of more innocuous legislation that does almost nothing?
Yes, I would feel better if you were wearing a golf shirt.
* And, yes the fact that she is on AJ’s show proves that this is a diversion.

Freedom In Tennessee For Teachers To Teach Hogwash To Our Children
Bill Haslam (Tennessee governor) will sign the new Tennessee bill that gives teachers the freedom to teach what they “believe” in science. If they don’t believe in evolution and do believe in the creation theory, they will be ok to spread that malarky to our children.
Beware the Monkey Bill
Remember that the narrative comes directly from the Jew Bible… The Torah. This is reason enough to ignore it and throw it into the dustbin of history. Yet, my home state will embrace it like the backwards fools we all seem to be.

B’Man’s Marijuana Watch: Maybe I Don’t Have To Leave Afterall
I once opined that I would need to move somewhere else. Maybe not.
I can’t believe it will happen, but it seems that someone in my state congress is thinking about the realities of the miracle drug.
Medical Marijuana Bill Advances In State House
They want the strictest governing laws in the country, but it is a start. One Republican law maker (also a physician) is afraid that his fellow doctors are not trained in how to dispense it. Maybe he should read here and learn something.
Quack.
Maybe I could do this for a living when it gets legalized. ARF has his preference.
It appears that Arkansas may beat us to the ballot.

Tennessee’s Bought Representatives and Lame’r Alexander
Have my fellow Tennesseans paid much attention lately to your representatives and how they vote? How about your beloved Senators?
Video Rebel lists all the representatives that voted to keep you from “protesting” around them. I wanted to share the locals, for your education and possible discussion. I am also including the Mississippi chickenshits, since that is my home state and friends still endure their sorry asses. They are deathly afraid of facing any assembly of folks that might be finally getting fed up with their shenanigans and have signed the latest bill that strips you of even MORE of your rights (I’m sure most will just yawn). The Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011 is a bit more than simply providing Mexican lawn care workers to take care of the grass around Federal Buildings. It is meant for you (well, “you”, meaning those who are awake and want answers).
There are a few that didn’t bow to their Masters in Israel, but they are a minority. Notice that none of them mind spending as much as you make in a year traveling around on junkets, while most are to afraid to spend much time in their district. Remember last summer’s break, when a mass of sycophantic Zionist Jew worshipers took their allegiance trip to Israel? At least Marsha didn’t make that trip. Cohen (a Zionist Jew), however, made his (imagine that).
Tennessee
Yea TN-1 Roe, Phil [R] 3 trips taken between 2009 – 2012 costing $19,250 1 trip to Israel $15,917.
Yea TN-2 Duncan, John [R] 25 trips taken between 2000 – 2011 costing $114,365 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.
Yea TN-3 Fleischmann, Chuck [R]
1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $19,763.Yea TN-4 DesJarlais, Scott [R] 1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $19,636
Yea TN-5 Cooper, Jim [D] 31 trips taken between 2003 – 2012 costing $136,553 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.
Yea TN-6 Black, Diane [R] 2 trips taken in 2011 costing $24,990 1 trip to Israel $22,314.
Yea TN-7 Blackburn, Marsha [R] 35 trips taken between 2003 – 2012 costing $68,139 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.
Yea TN-8 Fincher, Stephen [R] 2 trips taken in 2011 costing $23,233 1 trip to Israel $20,227.
Yea TN-9 Cohen, Steve [D] 10 trips taken between 2007 – 2011 costing $61,451 2 trips to Israel $19,520. This is the guy who got Jesse Ventura’s episode on Camp FEMA pulled off the air.
Mississippi
Yea MS-1 Nunnelee, Alan [R] No trips anywhere.
Yea MS-2 Thompson, Bennie [D] 57 trips taken between 2000 – 2011 costing $115,549 No trips to Israel.
Yea MS-3 Harper, Gregg [R] 4 trips taken between 2009 – 2011 costing $43,172 1 trip to Israel $17,610.
Yea MS-4 Palazzo, Steven [R] 1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $23,360.
One could look at the list of people who voted for the NDAA and perhaps feel a bit better (Marsha Blackburn DID vote “aye”, showing that she is not interested in preserving our liberties), but not much.
Now to Lame Alexander. I received my monthly email newsletter from him. Apparently, he is very worried about the “checks and balances” that Obama is ruining for Congress. He wrote something about his imaginary outrage here. This is a very slimy man, who also could care less about the Constitution, much less any checks and balances. You know, Lame, if you really were worried, you might work with Congress to impeach the liar, instead of clutching your faux pearls of shame. You might not have voted FOR the patriot Act (and every extension). You might have not voted to continue the bogus Iraq War that you were complicit in getting started (or too stupid to see was a bunch of malarkey). You might have not voted against implementing the 911 Commission’s recommendations (no matter how bogus they were), but better yet, sponsor a new, REAL investigation, since many of the members and its legal council have come out and said it was bogus. You might even vote to dismantle the TSA and certainly work to stop their roadside drug searches in your own state. Maybe you would even call out Israel, but instead, you love them and their “democracy” (apparently more than your own country). Maybe you could fight for American jobs instead of voting to allow corporations to keep their tax free crap from overseas profits.
If the man truly gave more than his obligatory lie, he might not have voted lock-step “yea” on the NDAA. He might actually tell us the truth. He might actually fight for liberties, instead of stripping as many as he can muster.
Oh yeah, as aside note to all the PaulTards, the bastion for personal liberties didn’t even bother to vote on either of the above mentioned recent bills.
Suckers.
Oh yeah, now Tennesseans have voted to put Santorum on the ballot. Speaking of suckers.

Should The Rednecks Go To New York City?
Tall buildings and bright lights could be the next horizon for us rednecks… that is if we want to help make change in this country. I remember the farmers driving their tractors up there in unity many years ago. I remember the hippies. I remember several instances of protest that seemed to have made a difference. And maybe I just have been brainwashed into believing any of this actually makes a difference.
I don’t know, but I suspect that The Whole F**king Thing’s Coming Down:

I personally think that the Rubicon has been crossed and there is no turning back. This isn’t a series of mistakes or “kicking the problem down the road”. This is plain, unadulterated, theft. They are going for broke (and breaking the country IS the goal). No one can make this many “mistakes”, so I cannot logically determine anything except purpose in their actions. They WANT the crash and they want to extract as much wealth from the system as it comes down, so they will be prepared for what comes next… some New world Order.
This was discussed in 1983 by Larry McDonald on Crossfire (the first 1:37 minutes is commentary from a Ron Paul supporter, and then McDonald is defending the John Birch Society for a bit, but at 4:44, it gets good). I don’t believe for a second this is happenstance (and I think you must agree that he was on to something simply from how obviously uncomfortable Tom Braden gets at the 6:00 mark):
No. This is planned. Plain and simple.
No matter what you think of the John Birch Society, Crossfire (and those two nuts that were on it), or Larry McDonald, he definetely called it like it is so many years later, didn’t he?Mostly, the MSM is giving this Wall Street protests as “left-wing” loons. And, as much as I think Lawrence O’Donnell is nothing more than an MSM clown I must give him credit for calling out the cops for their abuse and naming names. ‘Bout time.
And on the subject of cops, why is it that many of these football failures (couldn’t make the grade, so they juice up and use their brawn without brains to carry out the Elite’s dictates of oppression) think that they are or will be part of the 1% that controls the whole kit and caboodle? Don’t these people realize that these rich bastards don’t give a rat’s ass about them? Don’t they understand that they are on the wrong side of this?
Still don’t believe it is crumbling around us? Read what Maxine Croxall of the BBC asked Allesio Rastani and the comment she received:
Alessio Rastani:: …it’s gonna crash and it’s gonna fall pretty hard. Because markets are ruled right now by fear. Investors and the big money, the smart money …I’m talking about the big funds, the hedge funds, the institutions, they don’t buy this rescue plan. They basically know that the market is toast. They know that the stock market is finished, the Euro as far as they’re concerned they don’t really care, they’re moving their money away to safer assets like Treasury bonds, 30 year bonds, and the US dollar. So it’s not gonna work.
Maxine Croxall:: We keep hearing that whatever the politicians are suggesting — it’s all been rather wooly — isn’t right. Can you pin down exactly what would keep investors happy, make them feel more confident?
Alessio Rastani:: Ah, that’s a tough one. Personally, it doesn’t matter. I’m a trader, I don’t really care about that kind of stuff. If I see an opportunity to make money, I go with that. So for most traders we don’t really care that much how they’re going to fix the economy, how they’re going to fix the whole situation. Our job is to make money from it and personally I’ve been dreaming of this moment for three years. Personally, I have a confession to make, I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession. I dream of another moment like this. Why? Because people don’t seem to maybe remember, but the ’30′s depression, the Depression of the ’30′s wasn’t just about a market crash. There were some people who were prepared to make money from that crash and I think anybody can do that. It isn’t just for some people in the elite, anybody can actually make money, it’s an opportunity. When the market crashes, when the Euro and the big stock markets crash, if you know what to do, if you have the right plan to set up you can make a lot of money from this. For example, hedging strategies is one, then investing in bonds, Treasury bonds that sort of stuff.
Maxine Croxall:: If you could see the people around me, jaws have collectively dropped at what you’ve just said. I mean we appreciate your candor, but it doesn’t help the rest of us does it, or the rest of the Eurozone.
Alessio Rastani:: I will say this, listen. I would say this to everybody who’s watching this, this economic crisis is like a cancer. If you just wait and wait thinking this is going to go away, just like a cancer it’s gonna grow and it will be too late. What I would say to everybody is get prepared. This is not a time right now to wishful think that the Government is going to sort things out. The Governments don’t rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world. Goldman Sachs does not care about this rescue package neither does the big funds. So actually, I would actually tell people, I want to help people. People can make money from this, it isn’t just traders. What they need to do is learn about how to make money from a downward market. The first thing people should do is protect their assets, protect what they have because in less than 12 months, my prediction is that savings of millions of people is gonna vanish and this is just the beginning. So I would say, be prepared and act now. The biggest risk people can take right now is not acting.
Maxine Croxall:: Alessio Rastani thank you very much for talking with us.
You can watch the interview (if you haven’t already seen it) here. (h/t NaturalNews)
But rednecks in New York City? Maybe we could start out locally, since there are protests springing up all around the US (even Memphis and Nashville). I can barely afford the gas, but I’m game. How ’bout you?

TVA’s Land Grab… professionals
I attended last evening TVA/Anderson County Commissioners meeting. I am a Claxton Home Owner. I just have a few comments. When the TVA VP stated in reply to a commissioners question regarding eminent domain, that ” No we will not use eminent domain”. I thought ” of course he can state that”. Why? because they KNOW that once they had the contract in hand to purchase the key property they had in their plans [which they do]– that the other bordering properties would become ” less desirerable, lower in the sale market, loose value on the housing market etc…and the owners would have to come to TVA and play the domino game with TVA and sell their lands. Hence, eminent domain isn’t needed. This very same market decrease, health risk etc comes into play with every land owner within a 3-5 mile radius. But their not going to feel responcible nor deal with the rest of those negatively effected. I am already effected value wise due to drug dealers the country just ignores, the national economical situation– and now this issue that IS COMING no matter what. When the rep stated the enormous number of trucks that will be using Edgmore Road and New Henderson Road— commissioners eyes twinkled with tax revenue expectations. The Commissioners can change nothing nor do anything ‘for the landowners’. All they can do is offer a forum to allow them to ‘voice’ their opinions. The rep all but stated TVA is doing-the-do as far as following process; which includes attending meeting like this. He did say that TVA was looking at two other sites, but could not publically state which two. But it was obvious that a few commissioners must not be considered ‘public’ because they knew. And they knew those sites were also in Anderson County. My favorite part was after the meeting when an un-named commissioner came downstairs to some of the residents an whispered ” ya’ll need to go outside of this county, get someone big to get involved, this is all wrong”. Now wasn’t that a confidence booster! lol. My home is all I have as an investment. And between the drug sellers, drug fencers, that national economic situation and now this ‘forced’ upon us issue– my tomorrows are not secure at all. Who is going to pay my health bills for breathing this mess, who addresses the countless within the sir-pollution flow? Aw, politics and power ego people— always bedfellows, always. SO TVA, don’t say anyone WANTS to sell to you. You play a nastier game than these good folks can bear. Your resources and game plan is far past their reach– and you and the state have had this plan for years. By the way…. Bull Run Steam Plant is the number three polluter in our country of all the plants– now we surely should pop up to number 1.

B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: The American Declaration of Independence
I have been camping and mostly out-of-pocket (except for a couple of days that I checked in and commented). The camp site I selected is right on the water at Pickwick Lake with excellent views of the two fireworks shows scheduled for this year’s celebration. Does it matter that both of these events are fully sponsored (and paid for?) by the ISR Group? Yes, even poor middle Tennessee is inundated with drones and their trainers. I once was approached about working for them and I mentioned that they train people to kill other people, but from a distance. I was told, “No. They save lives”.
Uh-Huh
Business must be very good for them to flip the bill on BOTH displays (one being held Saturday night and the other tonight).
I am past the feel-good, emotional BS about “God and Country”. I can no longer pretend that we are moral and that we are the world’s protectorates, when it is obvious that our intent is the exact opposite (no matter how brainwashed rednecks believe the rhetoric). I can’t feel any patriotism or honor for my country when it has become little more than what we actually rebelled and declared our independence from in the first place. What more does a person need to see than the latest Navy TV commercials that come right out and say that we are a “Global Force For Good“? Seriously, can anyone who knows anything about the Founding Fathers justify such an ideal that we should be a global anything? Much less the foolishness that we represent “good”. Makes me want to puke.
Seriously, if anyone actually takes the time to study what, exactly, the Declaration of Independence actually is, then they would know that our Founding Fathers were telling an empire’s leader we will not be a part of his kingdom and that a man’s freedom reigns. I cannot recommend the following Corbett Report audio link (and documentation also provided) enough:
Episode 193 – Philosophy of Freedom: The Declaration of Independence
(Nicely laid out for those who are trying to grasp what was meant and what has actually occurred instead. Especially the first 30 minutes or so)
It is a fact that we are brainwashed to believe that America is honorable and that the actions we take are for the world’s benefit. But any cursory view and real, honest evaluation shows this to be a sickening farce. We have become precisely what we rebelled from, yet, by and large, most Americans are too stupid or nationalistic to understand this very simple point.
So, how is it that we have become almost exactly what it was that we rebelled from in the first place? I suggest you read Steve Lendman’s latest piece, “Independence Day Hypocrisy” to get an understanding of how much bullshit you have been fed about the original rebellion and to learn the truth about just how far from prefect the founding of this nation actually was. In his article, he quotes from Howard Zinn’s 2009 piece, “Untold Truths About The American Revolution” to help us understand:
Was waging war then really worth it, taking perhaps 25,000 – 50,000 American lives, the “equivalent today to two and a half million (at the lower estimate) to get England off our backs.”
Canada ended British without war. So did Western Massachusetts farmers “driv(ing them out) without firing a single shot. They had assembled by the thousands and thousands around courthouses and colonial offices and they had just taken over (and) said goodbye to the British officials” nonviolently.
America’s revolution was much different, but who “gained what?” Most Americans were poor. “(T)he Founding Fathers were rather rich” with much different interests from ordinary people. “Do you think the Indians cared about independence” or Blacks held involuntarily as slaves?
“Slavery was there before (and) there after. Not only that, we wrote slavery into the Constitution. We legitimized it.”
“What about class divisions?” America was a racist class society then and remains one today to benefit elitist interests at the expense of working households, especially Black and Latino ones. “We try to pretend in this country that we’re all one happy family. We’re not.”
We all know this is true: that we are nowhere near one big happy family. And this is certainly by design. They never wanted ALL MEN to be free men or have the ability to vote and self-determination. The founders had an agenda, too, even tho there was “some” idealistic purpose beyond simply rebelling from a king.
Andrew at Failed Empire tells us the truth about the situation:
… Given all the atrocities that have been committed by Americans since the birth of our nation — the mass genocide of the Native Americans, the systematic suppression of African Americans well into the 20th century and beyond, the widespread exploitation of developing countries around the globe, the wars, the death, the torture — is there really any cause for celebrating the day that the U.S. came into being?
The question boils down to finding the balance between the benefits and the harm that we have brought into the world. Have our positive accomplishments outweighed the vast destruction and oppression that we have reeked? At this point in history, looking at our five concurrent wars, the Patriot Act, the very real likelihood of government complicity in the horrific events of 9/11, I would have to say no. The United States, in spite of being founded on the noblest of principles of human rights and democratic values, has caused far more harm than good, and seems a blight on the face of the earth, a parasite leeching off the blood and wealth of the masses, hindering progress and development for all mankind.
The ideals for which we profess to stand, however, are worth celebrating, regardless of whether or not we actually uphold them. If the great American Empire were to collapse tomorrow — which is not altogether unthinkable — I would breathe a deep sigh of relief, as I’m sure much of the world would do as well. For the countless millions for whom life has been made intolerable by American military and economic oppression, the dismantling of our modern imperial empire would be a cause for jubilation, as the single greatest impediment to world peace and prosperity would have ceased to exist.
So, yeah, I will watch fireworks tonight, but I won’t be waving flags or patting service members on the back for “fighting for my freedoms”. I won’t be disparaging these same people, either. To each his own, but I will be telling anyone who will listen the truth about this day and the truth about what this country has become in face of what its intent was, even the bullshit intention.
People need to know the truth.
