TSA: Helping America “FEEL” Safe

Tammy Banovac was not allowed to board her flight because of an "unusual contour in her buttocks area," yet was allowed to remain in the airport and says she plans to spend the night there.  If this lady is such a threat, why is she allowed to remain in the airport?   If she truly is a threat to others, shouldn't she be hauled off to jail where she would be strip searched and anything she might be hiding found?

Is it supposed to make us feel better when potential terrorists are not allowed to board a plane but are allowed to freely roam the world?  Aren't there more people in and around the airport itself than on a plane? 

Recently, a pilot named Chris Liu posted videos on YouTube to show what he thinks are holes in the security system at San Francisco International Airport.  Instead of looking into Mr. Liu's accusations, TSA reacted by sending four agents and two county sheriff deputies out to his house to confiscate his gun and suspend his Federal Flight Deck Officer credentials. 

Now, doesn't that make you feel safer?

Who’s Poisoning Our Food Supply?

We now have confirmation of the concern that outsiders may try to poison U.S. citizens through our food supply.

The deadly terrorist group al-Qaeda may be plotting to poison U.S. food in the salad bars and buffets of hotels and restaurants, according to U.S. intelligence report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday.

The plot entails the hiding of either ricin  or cyanide in the food at a number of locations in order to create panic and have an adverse effect on the U.S. food industry and economy.

The terrorists hope that Americans will eat the poisoned food and would become severely ill and eventually die. Sources at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who issued the warning, stated that it takes only tiny quantities of either ricin or cyanide to kill.¹

However, we've been slowly poisoning ourselves for decades with the myriad of artificial ingredients in our food.  As we continue to use food for fuel, our food prices will continue to increase, and manufacturers will seek ways to reduce their costs. Welcome to the world of artificial sweeteners!

Everyone wants to indulge a sweet tooth at this festive time of year, without suffering the inevitable consequences of weight gain. But, be aware of the hidden (not listed on ingredient labels) dangers of Neotame sweetener in almost everything consumed by humans, and now even in feed for livestock raised for human consumption.

In 1998, Monsanto applied for FDA approval for a monster molecule, "based on the aspartame formula" with one critical addition: 3-dimethylbutyl [listed on EPA's most hazardous chemical list]. Neotame is touted as being 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.

On July 5, 2002 - Monsanto's Neotame molecule was approved by the USFDA over formally registered objections of the Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and others. (Long term effects on humans are unknown.) Read the full release on The Aspartame Consumer Safety Network.

The food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been dropped for Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen. Neotame has been ruled acceptable, and without being included on the list of ingredients, for:

1. USDA Certified Organic food items.
2. Certified Kosher products with the official letter k inside the circle on labels.

Ever ready to give the public what it craves - guilt-free, low calorie treats that taste as good as sugar, is the multi billion dollar sweetener industry. The sugar industry pales by comparison, in the profit generating arena. Fake sugars, in the form of Aspartame and now the Aspartame super clone, Neotame, give 'foodies' and fitness fanatics false hope and the empty promise that all can 'have our cake and eat it, too.' Not necessarily so.

Controversy has swirled around the artificial sweetener, Aspartame, now also known as AminoSweet, since its FDA approval in 1982. Virtually all corporate sponsored scientific studies show aspartame to be perfectly safe. Virtually all independently done studies show just the opposite. In the lab, Aspartame was shown to cause the following forms of cancers: brain tumors, pancreatic tumors, breast tumors and uterine tumors. Five deaths are registered with FDA. In more recent tests, leukemia, lymphoma and kidney cancers were discovered as well.²

This article goes on to explain how Neotame under the name of "Sweetos" is now being used to sweeten livestock feed.  Why?  Because it is cheaper than molasses which has skyrocketed in price due to it being used in the production of alcohol.  So, no matter how careful you are at reading labels, you may still be exposed to it through meats that you purchase.

Yes, we do need to be concerned about outside threats to poison our food supply.  We need to take those threats seriously and prevent them from being carried out.  However, we also need to scrutinize the ingredients of the foods we eat daily and realize that the manufacturers are willingly and legally poisoning our food supply while we happily buy and consume their tasty morsels.

Mom Files Lawsuit Against McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys

I don't think that getting rid of the toy in the Happy Meals is going to keep this lady from feeding her kids fast food.  Obviously, she has a problem with saying 'no' to her kids.

Monet Parham needs help saying no to her two children and she's asking the courts for assistance, the Washington Post reports. Parham filed a lawsuit against McDonald's asking the fast-food chain to cease marketing toys to kids.

People are Worth Pursuing, Jesus Even More So

Image by Douglas Brown via Flickr

I was told today that people are worth pursuing.  In general, I agree.

How long do you pursue someone that left you?  How long do you pursue someone that has thwarted your efforts to communicate?  How long do you pursue someone that obviously doesn't want to be sought after?

It takes a lot of time and energy to pursue someone that doesn't want anything to do with you.  At what point do you leave someone to their own devices and hope they will someday return to you?

However, there is someone that very much wants to be sought after that we often ignore:

[1] Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. [2] Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. [3] Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad. [4] Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. - Psalm 105:1-4 NASB

If only we put as much energy into pursuing the Lord, as we do pursuing people and things.

If the house is pitch black, we probably didn’t order pizza!

Based on a true story:

 

'Twas a week before Christmas and all through the house

not a creature was stirring

not even a mouse.

 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

Ma and Pa had taken all their meds!

 

The clock was about to strike 1:00 am

when at the front door there arose such a clatter

the whole family sprang up to see what was the matter.

 

Then what to my wandering eyes should appear

but a Northern Lights delivery man with a six pack of root beer.

 

Go away, go away, go away all.

We're not the ones that made the call!

TSA Agents Just Doing Their Jobs?

(NaturalNews) Some apologists are now attempting to defend the lewd, obscene behavior of TSA agents by claiming "they're just doing their jobs." This is the exact same quote that was used by Nazi war criminals to justify their treatment of Jewish concentration camp prisoners; or by Japanese soldiers who raped and pillaged Chinese villages in World War II; or even by government hit men throughout history who have killed innocents because their bosses told them to.

"I'm just doing my job" is the excuse of the weak-minded. It is a desperate attempt to shift responsibility for one's actions to someone else and therefore take on the actions of a mindless, immoral automaton who is incapable of independent thought. Throughout history, countless atrocities and war crimes have been conducted under the excuse of "I'm just doing my job." To hear it now cited in the United States of America is a worrisome red flag that we are headed into an era where rational thought is being overrun by fear mongering idiots.

Individual human beings have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect their fellow countrymen (and women)

In the real world, the excuse of "just doing my job" doesn't cut it. U.S. government workers have a personal and patriotic responsibility to ensure that their actions do not deprive American citizens of their Constitutional rights. A U.S. government employee who engages in behavior that violates the rights of American citizens -- even if ordered to do so -- is himself guilty of those violations under civil law (and perhaps criminal law, depending on the violation).

Federal Reserve Under Fire for Lending Big to Foreign Banks During Financial Crisis

Yes, job creation is the most important economic issue facing America today.  Unfortunately, there's not a thing the Federal Reserve Bank or any other bank can do about it.

Supporters of the dual mandate say it has worked to balance Fed actions. On Wednesday, Bernanke told business leaders in Ohio that job creation is "probably the most important economic issue facing America today."

McCaskill to Host “Kitchen Table Talk” in Liberty, Missouri

I got this email last week from one of Claire McCaskill's reps.  McCaskill's office is hosting a "Kitchen Table Talk" at the Mid Continent Public Library in Liberty, Missouri.  Funny now that the election has passed and the dems have lost their super majority McCaskill claims she's willing to "listen to your thoughts and ideas."  Why the change of heart now that she's rammed Obamacare down our throats?  This is an opportunity to let her office know in person how you feel about S 510.

My name is Greg Razer and I am a staff member for U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill. On Wednesday, December 1st, on behalf of the Senator, I will be hosting a "Kitchen Table Talk" in Clay County at the Mid-Continent Public Library (1000 Kent Street) from 1:00PM- 2:00PM. The purpose of this meeting is to reach out to you, to listen to your thoughts and ideas about federal policies and legislation and to take them back to the Senator.

These "Kitchen Table Talks" also serve, in part, to inform you of the services that are available through Senator McCaskill's regional offices. The Senator's staff throughout the state are able to assist you on a range of federal government issues. If you are currently having an issue with a federal agency, I will be happy to discuss that with you and put you in touch with the member of the Senator's staff best suited to help with your issue.

Should you have any questions, please contact me at greg_razer@mccaskill.senate.gov or by calling 816-421-1639. I hope you will be able to join me in Liberty on 1:00PM - 2:00PM. 

Sincerely,

Greg Razer
Field Representative
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill

Hey, Claire.  There's one thing most Missourians and Americans are concerned about right now and you don't have to have a "Kitchen Table Talk" to find out about it.  It's called jobs!  People need jobs, not government handouts.

Another thing people are concerned about is taxes.  We are being taxed to death and cannot afford to pay more taxes in a time that many don't even have a job.  Letting the Bush tax credits expire would not be a good move for you and your friends (or enemies) at Capitol Hill right now.

Claire:  more jobs, less taxes.

Planned Parenthood sues over Alaska notification law

A few years ago, ds broke his ankle and had to have surgery on it--twice.  Parental consent was needed for anything and everything.  All the papers that we as adults normally sign when going to the doctor's office and being admitted to the hospital; we, as parents, had to sign and consent to.  None of the procedures would have been done without it.  Why is abortion any different?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest is trying to block a new state law requiring that parents of teenage girls seeking abortions be notified. Several doctors joined the organization in suing the state Tuesday. Voters approved the measure in August and the law goes into effect Dec. 14. It requires Alaska doctors notify a parent before performing an abortion on girls younger than 18.

China and Russia Ditch the Dollar

St. Petersburg, Russia - China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday. Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies. "About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.

Thanksgiving Proclamation

[New York, 3 October 1789] Page Image. By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Gardening and Saving Seeds to be Outlawed

On November 17, the U.S. Senate voted for cloture on SB 510.  What this means is that the bill must be voted on within 60 days.  So, this bill is definitely coming up for a vote.  If you think Obamacare is bad for America, this bill is much worse. It's important to contact your Senators and keep tabs on this bill.  If you don't know how to contact your Senator, go to congress.org and put in your zip code.

Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called "the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America." It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer's markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don't comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government. "It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God." - Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower (http://shivchopra.com/?page_id=2) This tyrannical law puts all food production (yes, even food produced in your own garden) under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. Yep -- the very same people running the TSA and its naked body scanner / passenger groping programs. This law would also give the U.S. government the power to arrest any backyard food producer as a felon (a "smuggler") for merely growing lettuce and selling it at a local farmer's market. It also sells out U.S. sovereignty over our own food supply by ceding to the authority of both the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Codex Alimentarius. It would criminalize seed saving (http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/20...), turning backyard gardeners who save heirloom seeds into common criminals. This is obviously designed to give corporations like Monsanto a monopoly over seeds. It would create an unreasonable paperwork burden that would put small food producers out of business, resulting in more power over the food supply shifting to large multinational corporations.

Senate Bill S 510 Food Safety Modernization Act vote imminent: Would outlaw gardening and saving seeds. A couple of other articles about S 510 are here and here.

Health panel brings out big guns - BostonHerald.com

There's one big problem with "affordable" insurance for everyone.  Who gets to define "affordable?"  Are the people making the rules going to agree with me as to what "affordable" is?  Massachusetts is finding out that what the State has deemed affordable, the people have not.

The state's health insurance connector — the highly touted agency that aims to bring cheap medical care to the masses — has turned into a legal pit bull by aggressively going after a growing number of Bay Staters who say they can't afford mandated insurance — or the penalties imposed for not having it. The Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority is cracking down on more than 3,000 residents who are fighting state fines, and has even hired a private law firm to force the health insurance scofflaws to pay penalties of up to $2,000 a year. All told, more than 7,700 people have appealed state fines for not having health insurance, according to connector spokesman Richard Powers. The agency has hired several private attorneys at $50 an hour to hear many of the appeals, and some 3,150 of them have been denied — and the losers told to pay up.

The connector has also hired the Hub law firm Bowman & Penski — at $125 an hour — to defend itself against 13 lawsuits filed by fed-up taxpayers who insist they can't afford state required insurance premiums or the escalating fines.

. . .

"Every problem that Massachusetts is running into right now, the federal government will confront in 2014," said Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies at the conservative Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. "Just as Massachusetts' residents are having to appeal the extra taxes they are being levied because they can't afford health insurance — and because Massachusetts residents are having to sue the state because it's an unfair and abusive law — citizens from every state in the nation will be doing the same thing in 2014, when Obamacare takes effect," he said.

If You Touch My Junk . . .

American Airlines passenger, John Tyner, has caused quite a stir by refusing first a scan in an Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machine, and second refusing an "enhanced pat down" as an alternative.  Mr. Tyner had the presence of mind to turn the camera on on his cell phone and record most of his interactions with various TSA and police officers at the airport. 

Not only is privacy a concern with the AIT machine, but there are also health concerns from the radiation.  The AIT machine takes pictures of your naked body.  We've been told that these machines cannot save or copy an image, yet there are images all over the internet.  Some are referring to AIT as nothing more than a "virtual strip search."

When a TSA agent described to John Tyner the enhanced pat down he would have to undergo, Mr. Tyner refused on the grounds that he should not have to be sexually assaulted to board a plane.  The TSA agent told Mr. Tyner that he gave up a lot of his rights when he purchased his airline ticket.

 

 

Now there are also reports of the TSA putting their hands down people's pants.

 

This brings up several questions?

1. Are Americans unknowingly giving up many of their civil rights when purchasing airline tickets?
2. Are the American people going to continue to allow our government to use the tragedy of 9/11 as a vehicle to take away many of our civil rights?
3. Whatever happened to reasonable search and seizure?
4. Are these searches effective?  How many would-be bombers/no gooders has the TSA thwarted using these searches?
5. Whatever happened to common sense?

Common sense:  Israel uses it.  It's called profiling!

This has led to a "National Opt-Out Day." 

It's the day ordinary citizens stand up for their rights, stand up for liberty, and protest the federal government's desire to virtually strip us naked or submit to an "enhanced pat down" that touches people's breasts and genitals in an aggressive manner.  You should never have to explain to your children, "Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee, then it's OK."  

The goal of National Opt Out Day is to send a message to our lawmakers that we demand change.  We have a right to privacy and buying a plane ticket should not mean that we're guilty until proven innocent.  This day is needed because many people do not understand what they consent to when choosing to fly.

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation will hold a Transportation Security Administration oversight hearing Wednesday, November 17.  This is your opportunity to speak up.  Contact your Congressman and/or committee member.

Cell Phone Rash

Cell phones are getting a bad rap once again.  Now along with the concern of radiation, brain cancer, and setting your car on fire at the gas station; some users are also experiencing a mysterious rash.

If you're an incessant cell phone user and a mysterious rash appears along your jaw, cheek or ear, chances are you're allergic to nickel, a metal commonly used in cell phones.

I'm actually amazed that there is any metal on the outside of a cell phone.  I thought they were all plastic.

Symptoms of cell phone allergy include a red, bumpy, itchy rash in areas where the nickel-containing parts of a cell phone touch the face. It can even affect fingertips of those who text continuously on buttons containing nickel. In severe cases, blisters and itchy sores can develop. To treat cell phone rash, you can apply a mild over-the-counter corticosteroid, she said. (Ask your doctor about how long you can safely use it.) Then, keep the nickel-bearing parts of your phone off your face. "Buy a phone cover, opt for a hands-free device, use the speaker phone or switch to a phone that doesn't contain nickel on surfaces that touch your skin," she said. Consult an allergist if the rash lingers.

Boehner: Let Americans read bills before they are brought to a vote

In this opinion piece, John Boehner outlines what he believes the next Speaker of the House must do to regain the trust of the American people.

Accordingly, there are several steps I believe the next speaker should be prepared to take immediately. Among them:

• No earmarks.

• Let Americans read bills before they are brought to a vote. The speaker of the House should not allow any bill to come to a vote that has not been posted publicly online for at least three days. Members of Congress and the American people must have the opportunity to read it.

• No more "comprehensive" bills. The next speaker should put an end to so-called comprehensive bills with thousands of pages of legislative text that make it easy to hide spending projects and job-killing policies. President Obama's massive "stimulus" and health-care bills, written behind closed doors with minimal public scrutiny, were the last straw for many Americans. The American people are not well-served by "comprehensive," and they are rightly suspicious of the adjective.

• No more bills written behind closed doors in the speaker's office. Bills should be written by legislators in committee in plain public view.

St. Louis Voter Fraud

Image via Wikipedia

Atlas Shrugs reports on voter fraud in St. Louis, Missouri with a release from the St. Louis Tea Party:

(November 2, 2010) Three precincts in the city of St. Louis delivered 3,800 votes for Carnahan in the last hour of counting.  This is Brian Wahby's district.  The same Brian Wahby who admittedly funneled $10,000 back to himself via a Democratic Campaign Committee, as reported by the St Louis Post Dispatch.  Ironically, Wahby's wife also works for Mayor Francis Slay.  They waited until they knew how many votes they needed, then they manufactured them.

How many dead or non-existent people voted in Wahby's precincts? That question remains to be answered.  Secretary of State reacted in a very guarded manner when questioned by the St Louis Tea Party Coalition yesterday on the apparent crash of their Voter Verification System.  More so, Secretary of State, Robin Carnanhan continued to campaign amidst the epic fail, and failed to comply with 115.136. 1. of the Missouri Statute regarding National Voter Registration Act.

We have confirmed voter Fraud in the City of St Louis, the City of Arnold, a downed Voter Verification System, and the St Louis City Board of Elections manning polls with The St. Louis City Board of Elections is using a security service, Special Services, that has a long standing relationship with the Carnahan family. The Ed Martin for Congress campaign was alerted yesterday, from a fellow board member that, despite opposition, Democratic chairwoman, Eileen McCann, hired Special Services.

So, what does this all add up to? A major investigation.  The St Louis Tea Party Coalition, who endorsed Ed Martin, has already begun unraveling the corruption and has pledged to push forward until the truth is revealed.  One spokesperson for the organization stated at a Watch Party last night, "Novemeber [sic] 3rd, we begin".  Holding true to this statement, the organization has gone into watchdog mode.

Here's video of the St. Louis Tea Party protesting voter fraud on Wednesday, November 3:

 

Ed Martin's campaign issued a press release and asks for anyone that witnessed irregularities on Tuesday to contact his office:

The three glaring factors which stand out involve the Secretary of State's office, the sole decision of a newly appointed Democratic chair at the City Elections Board, and an unprecedented number of votes coming in late from the city.

The Secretary of State first of all is Congressman Carnahan's sister, Robin Carnahan. She reported having irregularities and computer glitches early in the day. We have heard from countless voters who want those problems scrutinized. Many point out that the Department of Justice pursued, for three years, a case against Missouri for failing to clean up the process. "When filed in 2005, one-third of Missouri counties had more registered voters than voting-age residents. What's more, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan,… contended that her office had no obligation to ensure individual counties were complying with the federal law mandating a cleanup of their voter rolls." (Wall Street Journal, John Fund, July 8, 2010)

People also question the motive behind a newly appointed St. Louis City Board of Elections Democratic Chairwoman, Eileen McCann, hiring a security company with close ties to Congressman Carnahan. Special Services was called on by Congressman Carnahan to do security for him as recently as August 26^th. Carnahan paid the company $1400 at that time which can be seen in a quick review of his FEC filing.

Then just before midnight seven precincts within the city and county delivered an astounshing [sic] late night dump of votes. In such a hotly contested race and with so many voters concerned it only makes sense to make sure in fact every vote counts. Since Missouri's Secretary of State is in fact Congressman Carnahan's sister it is suggested she recuse herself from the investigation and appoint an independent investigator to look into these three main points of question.

"The people of this district want to make sure their voices were in fact heard and I pledged to them that I would fight to ensure it happens. We need to make sure the election process was in fact fair and that the numbers are correct. I saw several issues in my time at the St. Louis City Board of Elections and serious issues like this should and need to be addressed," said Ed Martin.
