First of all, MIAC has officially decided to change their report! *shouts of cheer emanate from Missouri* Governor Nixon, naturally, avoids all responsiblity for the report. For some reason, he kind of reminds of a certain President whose last name was also Nixon...
Now, I know I didn't cover this bill at all, and I definately regret it now, but HR 1388 has passed. So, what is this bill? It's called the Give Act, and it's mandatory voluntary service, and, yes, I know that those two words don't go together. So, why is this bill scary? Here's a few excerpts from it:
From the Misc. section, #6104: (6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable
mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.SEC.
6107. POWERS OF COMMISSION.
(a) Hearings and Sessions- The Commission may, for the purpose of carrying
out this title, hold public hearings, sit and act at times and places, take
testimony, and receive evidence as the Commission considers appropriate.
(b) Powers of Members and Agents- Any member or agent of the Commission
may, if authorized by the Commission, take any action which the Commission is
authorized to take by this section.
(c) Obtaining Official Data- Upon request of the Chairperson, the head of
any department or agency shall furnish information to the Commission that the
Commission deems necessary to enable it to carry out this title.
(d) Physical Facilities and Equipment- The Architect of the Capitol, in
consultation with the appropriate entities in the legislative branch, shall
locate and provide suitable facilities and equipment for the operation of the
Commission on a nonreimbursable basis.
(e) Administrative Support Services- Upon the request of the Commission,
the Architect of the Capitol and the Administrator of General Services shall
provide to the Commission on a nonreimbursable basis such administrative support
services as the Commission may request in order for the Commission to carry out
its responsibilities under this title.
All of tht basically means that while the service is voluntary now, it could easily develop into something that's mandatory. I know, there are people out there, some of whom might be reading this, and saying, "What's wrong with serving your community?" Nothing. What's wrong, is when government tries to step in and make you serve your community. Trust me, community service is so much better when you're doing it for the sake of doing it, not because you're being pressured into it. It's really nothing short of enslavement of young people.
Moreover, this is in clear violation of the 13th Amendment:
Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a
punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.
Here's where things get a bit sticky. While you're committed to serving your, or Obama's, community, you will be prohibited from a variety of functions, further stripping you of your rights and offering nothing but slavery in return.
SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.

Can you say, "All your kids are belong to us"? If you read all that, you should be scared out of your wits, and this stupid thing passed! What all that basically means, is that while you are pledged to servitude, all your loyalties lie with the State. You cannot be devoted to church, political activism, or even a business; you are a complete drone for the State. Regardless of whether or not this is voluntary or mandatory, this is completely unacceptable in a free society!
So, please, refuse to cooperate with this bill. Civil disobedience is an amazing form of rebellion, and we should definately not allow ourselves or our children to be owned by Big Brother. Voluntary or not, this is another Big Government program that wishes to run our lives.
Okay, time to keep going. China is not calling for a new World Currency. Do you know what's scary? Some articles, as the one I just linked to, state that they're being taken seriously. However, Obama has also claimed that he doesn't see that happening, but how much do we trust Obama? According to him, he doesn't see much happening at all!
Now, there's way too many people in the world who ask, "What's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it right now.
First of all, think about how easy it is to change policies in your home town or local school. If your childrens' school is doing something you dislike, you get a bunch of parents to join together and run up to the school board, begging for change. There's a pretty decent chance that you'll get what you want.
Now, think of the work it takes to change state legislation if your unhappy. It requires a lot more people to ask the governor to change such-and-such law and get the job done, doesn't it? It's not impossible, but it sure as heck is tougher.
Finally, how hard is it to change things at the Federal level? Can it be done? Yeah, but it's downright hard! It is very difficult to get things done right at the Federal level when they screw up, so how hard do you think it will be to change things once they've gone global?
If the IMF regulates money with the same restraint that the current Federal Reserve does, then the whole world is screwed, and it will take the whole world to bring it down. Even if things start out artificially prosperous, they can and will go bad.
Moreover, how easy it would be to slowly usher in a real NWO, although I understand that this is tin hat stuff to most people. But think about it for just a second. The banks ultimately control the world, not the various kings, presidents, etc. That kind of power in the hand of a single, global "bank" is scary stuff! Money makes the world go round.
Some good news, though, is Michele Buchmann, a Congresswoman, has put forth a bill that would ban the US from taking part in a global currency. Please, call your legislators and have them support HJ.RES.41. Buchmann's bill is important, and you can check the cosponsors and see Ron Paul's name on there if you want.
And now, for the downright stupid. We all know that Fargo floods to a certain extent every year. Crazy people built a city on top of a lake, has a river that runs backwards, and gets a big pile of snow almost every year. All of this is the perfect setup for a flood, and they always get one. This one happens to be a big one, but we've had a lot of snow in these parts recently, so that probably has something to do with it.
However, Barrack Obama begs to differ. He believes it is due to that pesky little inconvenience known as global warming. Yep, he thinks that this is a wakeup call to take action! Granted, I'm not entirely sure if Obama knows where Fargo is, nor do I think he was aware that Fargo was having a blizzard at the same time they were flooding (when the north-running river hits a blockade of snow and ice, well...). That's not going to stop him from shoveling more money into the various programs he wants in order to stop an all-natural climate change. He also plans to pay for 75% of the flood damages in this Federal Disaster Area.
People on forums tend to post things known as facepalm pictures during these kinds of revelations. I don't have one at the moment, so use your imagination. Cheers.
