Government programs
From Bob Armstrong
Grants Pass
Government programs began in the Johnson Administration that were to “eliminate poverty as we know it.”
All with the intent of redistributing wealth. It did, $4.6 trillion later, the same amount of poverty and a bunch of wasteful programs. A total disaster and a failure
The U.S. Postal Service -- runs a deficit of nearly $1.2 billion a year. Medicare -- bankrupt, Social Security -- bankrupt. Dept. of Defense contracts with cost overruns in the billions of dollars. California issuing IOUs. Senators and congressmen who vote themselves full salary retirements after serving one term in office and with health care like none other for life.
A president who appoints an avowed radical Communist to be his “Green Czar” (Van Jones); a man who believes in population control by forced abortions, limiting family size and even putting sterilization chemicals in the drinking water (John Holdren); another (Mark Ward), who believes that the government should take over and control all the media. Yet another, (Cass Sunstein) believes that the very young and the elderly should not have the same level of health care as those from teens to age 50.
Still another (Ezekial Emanuel) who stated that, “Services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed.” Obama has 36 such “Czars” none of who go through a vetting process.
The irony is that some people want government to take over the health-care system in this country. Unbelievable.
Firefighter response
From William &
Glenn Woodbury
O’Brien
We appreciate all the firefighters who saved our property and home two weeks ago.
The professionalism, courtesy and speed with which the alarm was answered were incredible. The firemen said, “Don’t worry, Bill, we will have a pumper to your property all night.”
Upon returning the next day, everything was saved, and the fire had come within 100 feet.
9/11 truth ‘obvious’
From William Schneider
Cave Junction
I saw the 9/11 Conspiracies on the History Channel. What an incredibly watered-down theory and rebuttal session.
In light of the truth, shame on Popular Mechanics magazine and the “9/11 Omission Report.” The government would have you believe that all laws of physics and mathematics were suspended that day.
Two points are most screamingly obvious. First, the collapse of the building was at free-fall speed. Figure it out. No resistance from below anywhere. How does a thousand-foot-plus skyscraper made of steel and concrete disappear with no resistance in 10 seconds? Survey says explosives.
Secondly, each floor only had 10-15 feet to fall onto the next floor. How would that turn every floor of this massive construction into powder every 10-13 feet? Survey says ... well, you know.
And I know the difference here is that some folks have the ability to think and do the math while others prefer denial and trust in a government that has lied through its filthy mouth while looking you right in the eyes since Pearl Harbor. Only Pearl Harbor was an attack allowed to take place, whereas 9/11 was an inside job.
You wonder why Dick Cheney is so adamant about going forward and not backward with investigations into the criminality of the past administration?
Oh yeah, one more point. What happened to the massive 47 steel columns that ran up the middle of the towers? Popular Mechanics conveniently left them out of its diagrams of how the building was constructed. They, too, just disappeared. Poof. Gone. And Building 7 down smooth as a baby’s butt in 8 seconds. Poof. Gone. Figure it out.
I would think that it would hurt way too bad to sit down on this one.
Oh yeah, one more point. How could anyone read the logo on a plane flying by at 500+ mph? Like at the Pentagon. Oh, there’s a whole lot more to the Pentagon and Shanksville than we saw on TV. A lot more. I could go on and on, but it is my true intent to simply cause one to consider the science of the matter and the conspiracy theory presented by the U.S. government which is proven at every turn to be a lie.
See for yourselves. I have in-depth step-by-step debunking of the government’s lie on several DVDs and would be most happy to share the truth with anyone who wishes to see it.
