			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the most believable video I have seen on this subject.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3aCfR8rmrw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3aCfR8rmrw</a></p>
<p>If in fact this video is true and it certainly seems to be well documented, naming particulars and supposedly facts that were to have actually happen. Any of you that are detail type’s &#8212;&#8212;- please do take it apart and let me know if there is truth there&#8212;&#8212;-if you can get to the bottom of any so call truth I would be very much interested in hearing from you. Why that isn’t a major news story or one of the heavies in talk radio didn’t pick it up leads me to none of it being true.</p>
<p>The above paragraph tells you how cynical things have become, a problem for me or anyone, who thinks, they can’t get to truth, all the while not believing what one is told, regardless how it is presented.</p>
<p>Trust in reasoning and thinking that you have the facts is a must and not questioning truth is needed if leadership within society is to work and/or be possible. The problem becomes confusing when you are not sure of truth. As Pilate tells/ask Jesus in the Gospel of John 18:38 “What is truth?” If you are going to hang your hat on the “Conservative Movement”, or “The Constitution”, or “The Tea Party Movement”, and/or “Crony Capitalisms” cynicism will need to be kept to a minimum and that is not happening.</p>
<p>The citizen does not understand that the radical Progressive/Socialist/Marxist does not need his ideology or his believe system re-enforced, that is why Obama and his ilk thrives on confusion. There is no room in his psyche for doubt or confusion&#8212;&#8211;none&#8212;&#8211;he is committed to what he believes. Further more he cares not for “What is truth?” that is why stating their position as truth is not difficult even when nothing of it is true. Most people will not understand that confusion or believe people can be that way.</p>
<p>Why the leadership in the church can’t see this is surprising, we will in the 21st century come to the position where the only thing that will be trusted is <strong>“Thus saidth the Lord”.</strong> If the Church doesn’t make it clear that truth comes from God and the Bible we will have an ever expanding bout with cynicism with man believing nothing and becoming a ruler on to himself with total confusion through out the social fabric. At that point the country will have disintegrated and what Marist believes to be truth matters not.</p>
<p>The Church must start making Biblical arguments if truth is going to survive.</p>
<p>We Shall See&#8212;-don’t you think?????</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is an article by an anonomous writer and given to me by my friend Clyde! He feels like many of us in our later years, including your&#8217;s truly! </p>
<p> &#8221;They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are “Baby Boomers” getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshipped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don’t know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.&#8221;                    </p>
<p>&#8220;We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many, but there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and VietNam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn’t fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America The Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read about in History books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.&#8221;               </p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the “Hope and Change” which in reality was nothing but “Hype and Lies”. You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found that you don’t like it at all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or “Climbing the Social Ladder” to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the “Great Lie” in 2008 are now having buyers remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn’t have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the ‘Kool-Aid’. Now you’re paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom. This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, don’t worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2012 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we’re going, and in 2012 we’re going to the polls by the millions. This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It  belongs to “We the People” and “We the People” plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the “Grey-Haired Brigade.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“If Obama loses the Catholic vote, he loses the election. The White House will come around fast. Rely upon it.”</p>
<p>Closing lines from Pat Buchanan’s article “Obama Sandbags the Archbishop” in Human Events.<br />
<a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=49191">http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=49191</a></p>
<p>Buchanan points out losing the Catholic vote loses Obama the election and Buchanan thinks Obama and the White House will come around fast.</p>
<p>How ignorant of Buchanan and the Catholic’s to think Obama and his ilk will change any of their positions as if wanting to and with that changing over something as trivial as gaining their vote. Why my dear Buchanan and his Catholic friends, all Obama needs do, is fake a change of heart at some critical point in the political process and the Catholic folk and the leadership will fall hook, line and sinker for his charade, thinking they have forced a change in the evil president thinking.</p>
<p><strong>Are you kidding me?</strong> He is set in his path of evil and nothing less then a “Born Again Revelation” from God will change his heart.</p>
<p>I have noticed&#8212;&#8212;with Beck anyway&#8212;&#8211;the word evil is creeping into the conversation more and more. This re-defining of the nature of the problem is taking place ever so slowly and we should note that transition carefully. For not only are the Catholics ignorant of the phenomenon called evil and it&#8217;s existents in the White House and through out the culture but they are surrounded by Evangelicals ignorant of the same. The Evangelicals are not only ignorant as too what is going on around them, but they are ignorant of what the Bible teaches, and few truly know Jesus Christ as their savior and if that is not enough they know nothing of God’s law as applied to the social fabric and what God requires. The American people on a whole are ignorant as to what the likes of the “Progressive” are doing to them, why is this?&#8212;-The people know nothing of their Bible.</p>
<p>The people will need to define evil, and look a what sin is. Both actions, evil and sin, are words that people can not or will not talk about. Why is this? Because you will need to insert God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible back into the conversation and into society. Did Buchanan in his article do that? Did the Catholic Church do that in defining their compliant with President Obama—they had a valid argument and compliant I might add, but I missed it if they include God. <strong>Is Sin and Evil finally on the table </strong>for discussion, did they or will they discuss sin and evil with President Obama&#8212;&#8212;glorifying God in the process&#8212;&#8212;-for man is His creation&#8212;-I did not see any of that and don’t think they are ready to bring God into the discussion.</p>
<p>We Shall See&#8212;&#8211;don’t you think??????</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;The connection between earnings and education is unmistakable, yet overlooked in America&#8217;s current public policy debates&#8221;</p>
<p>This is stated in <a href="http://news.investors.com/Article/598762/201201241804/education-gap-is-our-real-problem.htm">Investors.com</a>. The liberals in politics know this but refuse to do anything about it. Are they afraid that the poorly educated would riot? Are the poorly educated accustomed to being fed by the government? Would those that bring up the subject be called insensitive by the left, especially in the MSM? Does welfare and Affirmative Action have anything to do with the perpetuating of this disaster that looms over and is changing our culture to something less than desirable? Since welfare and Affirmative Action started, are we better off as a society? Do we have more poor now than ever before? Are we not 37th in math and science among the industrialized countries in the world?</p>
<p>To all of the above, yes is the only answer that fits. What other proof do we need than the last sentence? It is also proof that a government can destroy it&#8217;s own country if left unchecked by the people. What are we waiting for? Let&#8217;s fix it! We can start by getting government out of education. It CAN be done! If we can send a man to the moon, we can fix education. But then again, maybe we don&#8217;t want to. Maybe we like the handouts and promises of handouts more than fixing our problems.</p>
<p>&#8220;The solution should not be redistributing America&#8217;s wealth, but reforming its education system&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the open letter below I have eliminated, the school districts name, along with any reference to contact names within the letter, nor did I say who wrote the letter because my point is not to single out anyone for criticism nor pick at Pennsylvania School Districts. The point of this is to show there is a legislative effort on the horizon that will eliminate the home owner’s school property tax burden. I have encouraged other citizens to request their school boards review HB1776 in an effort to start the process of generating interest in HB 1776 at the different school districts here in the Lehigh Valley, Pa. Without this interest and push from the different concerned citizens and groups, HB1776 will die a slow death on the house floor.</p>
<p>I will also tell you I wrote a similar letter to the Superintendent of the Bethlehem School District asking that they consider HB1776. I was fortunate enough to have a school board member who did bring the bill up at a board meeting under new business just last week&#8212;-so the bill was introduced and there appears to be interest.</p>
<p>There is a link (Below in the letter) that will help you gather information, the bill is in committee and still being reviewed and worked on. Please look over the information and ready yourself to get involved by introducing HB1776 to your school board, with an action item of&#8212;&#8211; the school board taking a serious look at and supporting HB1776.</p>
<p>Thank You<br />
Randy Toman</p>
<p>Letter to a school district:</p>
<p>Dear Elected Members of &#8212;&#8212;- School Board,<br />
 In December of 2011 I submitted four concerns and requests on various issues. You were kind enough to address the “spelling” issue which generated some community interest and constructive dialog. I am pleased to report that I have since met with Dr. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212; and Dr. &#8212;&#8212;- who both graciously spoke with me at length on the matter. Though we may not always agree, these two professionals restored some of my confidence in the way this administration, absent of Mr.&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;, is willing to meet directly with parents/guardians and address concerns personally. For that I am grateful.</p>
<p>This letter is a follow-up on my suggestion that the &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; School Board petition our state legislature in support of eliminating property tax. Here is another web link for HB1776. <a href="http://www.ptcc.us/">http://www.ptcc.us/</a>  I hope that each of you take the time to look it up. At least one of you stated during the campaign that you were in favor of “eliminating the financial responsibility” for tax payers. I am not asking you to eliminate our responsibility because after all, the budget must be funded. However, your diligent support of HB1776 or similar legislation will show your understanding that the current property tax system of funding the school district is unsustainable, antiquated, and unconstitutional.<br />
Top among all the arguments in favor of such a plan is our constitutional right to own private property. As long as the government can hold our homes hostage through property taxes we will not truly own our properties. As long as you have the ability to raise our property taxes we have no control aside from voting you out after the damage is done. When you were sworn in as school board members you promised to uphold the constitution. Here’s a chance to show you meant it.<br />
The following thoughts further support the need for you, our elected school board, to work towards eliminating property tax on behalf of those whom you represent.<br />
1. School boards must look to make corrections by thinking outside the box. HB1776 would certainly force that thinking.<br />
2. School Boards must understand that sticking with the current system of taxing the property owners as they need more money to balance the budgets will not work. This is an unsustainable means of revenue as our economy continues to spiral downward; the system is bankrupted.<br />
3. School Boards cannot continue to fund an ever expanding system of unsustainable spending and budgetary increases using the excuse that, “it’s for the children”. With HB1776 school districts would receive the inflation index only for their expansion.<br />
4. School Boards need to adjust their spending downward, not their revenue upwards. HB 1776 would force thought towards limited spending.<br />
5. School Boards must get more aggressive and do what is right for the ‘good’ of the tax payers. To achieve this good one should not continue taxing property owners when the real problem to be tackled is spending. HB1776 would force thinking towards doing what is right.</p>
<p>Please open conversation on this serious subject as soon as possible. A consumption based system of funding school districts will level the playing field for all citizens, not just property owners. I look forward to your speedy response.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is absolutely nothing the tax payer can do to stop these past errors in judgments nor can they do anything about this situation now. Why&#8212;-because the County does not have the moxie to sue the bank for out right deception and misrepresentation, these types of deals happen across the country to almost every municipality and school district in the country. The deal involves some type of swap or derivative scheme which bordered on nothing more then the house dealing the cards and the player (the tax payer) loosing something&#8212;&#8212;in the case of Northampton County it was&#8212;&#8212;- according to the paper&#8212;- $6.8&#8212;$25 million&#8212;&#8212;pick a number—you the tax payer will loose something.</p>
<p>Read the article:<br />
<a href="http://articles.mcall.com/2012-01-06/news/mc-northampton-county-swaption-options-20120106_1_swaption-termination-value-bond-rating">http://articles.mcall.com/2012-01-06/news/mc-northampton-county-swaption-options-20120106_1_swaption-termination-value-bond-rating</a></p>
<p><strong>Quoted from the article:<br />
</strong><em>Northampton County Council President John Cusick compared the swaption to a polyester suit&#8212;it looked good at one time, but doesn’t today. “I don’t think that at the time they realized what they did,” Cusick said of the 2004 council.</em></p>
<p>If they didn’t understand the Multimillion dollar deal they were signing, why in heaven name did they sign it? Who knows&#8212;we have most school district in the area in the same boat and I don’t think you have heard the last of these types of problems.</p>
<p>Along with not hearing the last of this&#8212;&#8212;I believe the screws are being tightened down as I write. I believe all banks still holding any paper $ involving Swaps and Derivative are looking at their positions with the eye to put themselves in first place in the food chain of being paid or at least on even par with any other banks involved in the transaction thereby maximizing possibilities of getting a piece of the action $$$ should the house of cards fall&#8212;&#8211;and I believe it is close to just that&#8212;-Falling&#8212;BUT what do I know.</p>
<p>If you are involved with your local government and they have debt (which one doesn’t) you should ask how the bonds are financed&#8212;-is it a fixed rate/timed bond or is it a Swap/Derivative type deal with viable rate floating % with heavy duty penalties $ to get out. FIND OUT&#8212;Northampton County did&#8212;so did&#8212; Bethlehem Area School District and in both cases it will cost the tax payer dearly.</p>
<p>We Shall See&#8212;&#8211;how this is to shake out&#8212;-don’t you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many of us are not happy with the way things are going in our country! We just feel helpless to do anything about it. The far left is in control of the media, the entertainment industry, the democrat party, the labor unions and education. They also control the minority groups through entitlements and welfare. A big part of this is Affirmative Action and the damage this has done to the civility of our society. Anyone who speaks up is called a racist or worse. Obama is a protected person because of this and he knows he can do anything he wishes and the media will protect him by spinning things in his favor and often covering for his failures. They also omit his failures like “Fast and Furious”, his use of our tax money to fund &#8220;green&#8221; companies that are going belly up left and right, many the same companies that made huge campaign contributions to him out of the bailout money the president gave to them. Pure and simple, the Communist movement and corruption is strangling our way of life and replacing it with European Socialism which will eventually morph into something much worse like total government control of every aspect of our lives. Our young people have been taught to accept this and that it is good! They really don&#8217;t know any better!<br />
To get a good man in the presidency, we must know what a good man is! This is why the best man doesn&#8217;t stand a chance! Government is not the solution to our problems, our values are! We are what we have been taught! We are also what we have <em>not</em> been taught, like good moral values and the difference between right and wrong! Instead, we are taught that everything is just &#8220;relative&#8221;! Our government is 100% behind these failures. We are not born as good or bad, we must be taught what is good and bad! The false notion that we must have separation of Church and State, (as left to the interpretation of the left) has this country completely upside down! Whether we hit bottom before this phenomenon can turn around or not, remains to be seen! So far, not good!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone know what is going on&#8212;not after reading this article? (see link)</p>
<p><strong>From the article;<br />
</strong> “Ben Bernanke presided over his first meeting as Federal Reserve chairman in March 2006 believing the nation&#8217;s economy could pull off a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; from falling home prices. Three months later, Bernanke had begun to grasp that he and others had underestimated the risk housing posed to the economy.”</p>
<p>You have to wonder how stupid or naïve, Mr. Bernanke and his people are. Can we allow these people to stay in these two categories of innocent and not so smart? When will we start to place them in the power and greed category thereby calling a shade a shade&#8212;-like maybe just calling them flat out evil? Now we have said something where we had better define our terms. What is evil and when does it go from the Capitalistic System guided it by some standard and/or when can it be classified as having drifted into an evilness, well out side of any standard of fairness with honor.</p>
<p><strong>Read on;<br />
</strong>“In fact, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, then a Fed official, expressed confidence in September 2006 that &#8220;collateral damage&#8221; from housing could be avoided.”</p>
<p>From 2006 you will see the same players calling the shots, and someone like me might call it a smoked fill back room with cloak and dragger type shenanigans going on, and with the lot of actions bordering on the evil side of things.</p>
<p><strong>Read on;<br />
</strong>“The Fed releases minutes of the FOMC discussions three weeks after the meetings but full transcripts do not come out until five years later.”</p>
<p>Is it, no wonder the citizens haven’t got a clue as to what is going on.</p>
<p><strong>Read on;<br />
</strong> “The transcripts for 2006 show that at first Bernanke did not express concern about the cooling of the housing market after a boom that had pushed sales and home prices to record levels.”</p>
<p>Let me close with this. If Mr. Bernanke didn’t see the housing collapse coming, how are we supposed to believe he can see anything else coming within the financial markets, especially something as far away as Europe? Why heck, he couldn’t see it when it was in his back yard. On top of that he exercised no restrains on any of his friends at the different banks but rather allowed them to go crazy with there wheeling and dealing and even working with them to cover their loses through TARP and the Bail outs that came down the pike. No Ladies and Gentlemen, they don’t fall in the stupid, naïve, nor do they fall in the innocent column&#8212;&#8212;not the likes of Bernanke. What scares me is&#8212;&#8212;history will show us the justice&#8212;-not today courts&#8212;&#8212;-for Bernanke and his slick crew will continue their evilness until God puts an end to it and that may mean the country or country’s going down with&#8212;&#8212;God showing us what Evil is.</p>
<p>We Shall See&#8212;-don’t you think???????</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Has the great short seller gone soft? Well, yes. Sitting in his 33rd-floor corner office high above Seventh Avenue in New York, preparing for his trip to Davos, he is more concerned with surviving than staying rich. “At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” he says, peering through his owlish glasses and brushing wisps of gray hair off his forehead. He doesn’t just mean it’s time to protect your assets. He means it’s time to stave off disaster. As he sees it, the world faces one of the most dangerous periods of modern history—a period of “evil.” Europe is confronting a descent into chaos and conflict. In America he predicts riots on the streets that will lead to a brutal clampdown that will dramatically curtail civil liberties. The global economic system could even collapse altogether.”</p>
<p>Who believes and is saying the above&#8212;&#8212;-none other then George Soros. Why isn’t the politicians in DC and Harrisburg telling us this or at least not blowing smoke&#8212;-all the while they are not even man enough or brave enough to tell it like it is.</p>
<p>All the wheeling and dealing of the Central Banks, plus the FED, plus Washington DC., is not the way the capitalist system is to work and nothing, guys like Hannity, Rush say will make it right. They know the doing away with the “Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 in the name no regulations and free markets will not make any thing right. They know greed and power coming from the heart of evil man will trump good every time in the Capitalistic Markets.</p>
<p>Here you go&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; “As he sees it, the world faces one of the most dangerous periods of modern history—a period of “evil.”</p>
