A note to the people of Pennsylvania:

My entire immediate family were born in Pennsylvania. Dad, Scranton Mom Bethlehem, Sister Bethlehem and Bro.

But My Dad had to go to New York for work during the depression, because there was no work for him in Pennsylvania. They said they celebrated Thanksgiving with a can of beans!

The Fed brought about the Depression to starve Americans to fight WWII.(Bernakee admits)

I loved Pennsylvania, with its beautiful mountains ad streams, which I only visited at times of funerals or weddings. I hardly knew my coal mining grandfather or grandmother. My other grandmother from Bethlehem lived her last years,with my aunt, when I was born in New York.

Pennsylvanian Protestants have real faith in God.

I think we have to vote for the lesser of two evils.....

Obama + Biden are against unending wars.!!!!

Obama is setting a marvelous picture of a family man, who knows he's responsible for his wife ad children, teaching them to trust authority.

This can only help the poor blacks in this country to set higher standards then rapping against the" po lice".

The Fed broke up many families, by creating the depression and by financing WW2.

America needs to get back to using that word " Responsibility".

No one sees rhe conflict of interest of the Secreary of the Treasury and his connections to the Federal Reserve, as he pushes the  bailout of Wall Street onto the backs of the citizens of Main Street?

MORE WAR TAXES FOR PRIVATELY OWNED FEDRAL RESERVE:  OWNED BY MANY  FOREIGN INTERESTS

No one remembers the income tax was created to fund the American Civil war?  It is a war tax. Now it's being used to fund the endless wars that the New World Order wants.   The U.S. Skull and Bones, members include George Bush, and John Kerry. It is a parallel organizationto the Thule Society.   http://cephasministry.com/nwothule.html  Please read in entirety! Also also see comments at

THE THULE SOCIETY & NWO

"One of the most basic plans after the New World Order is established is to reduce the world's population from its present 6 billion to 2 billion ... (Constance Cumbey, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow). Thus, birth control and abortion were early identified as necessary to begin reducing population. Our current emphasis on man's devastating effects upon the earth and upon Global Warming and pollution are designed to convince people that only united, drastic action from the United Nations can save this planet from collapse.

How can this drastic reduction be achieved within this short time frame? The basic answer is war.

• Bailey, in her book, The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p. 548, states that the atomic bomb will be turned over to the One-World Government and will be used against any nation who refuses to go along with the New World Order.
• Bill Cooper, in his book, Behold A Pale Horse, quotes a document from the Bilderberg Secret Society, which is an offshoot of Skull and Bones. "Since most of the general public will not exercise [economic] restraint...[we must] take control of the world by the use of economic silent weapons in a form of quiet warfare and reduce [the dangerous levels of consumption] of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide." (p. 49). How could anyone ever think of slavery and genocide as being benevolent? This was the precise thinking of Hitler as he was planning his New World Order. He was going to rid the world of all the undesirables by benevolent warfare. We reviewed the horrible results in the beginning of the pro-gram; however, these figures pale in comparison with the deaths of 4 billion people."

 Bankers are BILKING us all!

"Capital must protect itself in every way," through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of LAW the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law, applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders."

--from "Banker's Manifest", for private circulation among leading bankers only, taken from the Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" of January, 1934

 "Don't believe it? Let's break out the numbers.

Assume you want to buy a home that cost $115,000. And perhaps you are prepared to put $5,000 down, secure a thirty-year mortgage for $110,000, and pay $4,000 in closing costs. After which, let's presume your mortgage payment is $1,000 a month, and examine your real cost after only 3 years.

Your entire mortgage payment (of $36,000) is mostly interest income for the bank.

Lest you forget: add in your down payment, closing costs, maintenance, improvements, and roughly $5,000 in property taxes.

All toll, you have spent $52,000 (or more) in only 3 years! That's nearly half of the original loan amount. Yet, you still have 27 years worth of payments left.

Worse still, the only thing you own is the debt on the home, your savings are probably depleted, and, most likely, you live from paycheck to paycheck.

Moreover, if you remain in your residence as agreed, you will pay the bank $270,000 to $305,000. Otherwise, if you sell early, assuming any appreciation, you must get another home and incarcerate yourself in debtor's prison, or split half of your profits with the IRS"

"This is what the 'great American dream' has been reduced to by bankers - a horrible never-ending nightmare.

And the implications of this diabolical conspiracy only get worse when you realize that bankers issue money from thin air!

Something has to be done - and FAST - before bankers lay their grubby little hands on every square inch of land in this country, restricting the rest of us to lives of ignorance and misery in urban bantustans.

"I have never yet had anyone who could, through the use of logic and reason, justify the Federal Government borrowing the use of its own money . . . I believe that the time will come when people will demand that this be changed.

I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with Congress for sitting idly by an permitting such an idiotic system to continue."

--Wright Patman, Democratic Congressman 1928-76 Chairman, Committee on Banking & Currency 1963-75 "The inability of the Colonists to get the power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War."

--Benjamin Franklin"

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for over forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright light of publicity during those years.

But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government.

The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

JFK Vs The Federal Reserve By John P. Curran 4-19-7

"The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as: "Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum reserves." Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said: "Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two thirds of each Bank's nine member board of directors". The Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks. Once again, according to Black's Law Dictionary, we find that these privately owned banks actually issue money: "Federal Reserve Act. Law which created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks. Administered by Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)". The privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks actually issue (create) the "money" we use. In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress, put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good description of what the FED is:.............

" Who owns the FED? The Rothschild's of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York. Did you know that the FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes? The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year tax free! The banking families listed above get all that money. Almost everyone thinks that the money they pay in taxes goes to the US Treasury to pay for the expenses of the government. Do you want to know where your tax dollars really go? If you look at the back of any check made payable to the IRS you will see that it has been endorsed as "Pay Any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depository for Credit U.S. Treas. This is in Payment of U.S. Oblig." Yes, that's right, every dime you pay in income taxes is given to those private banking families, commonly known as the FED, tax free."

"Ask your representative, in light of that information, how it is possible for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the Federal Reserve Bank that it created, to be constitutional. Ask them why this private banking cartel is allowed to reap trillions of dollars in profits without paying taxes. Insist on an answer. Thomas Jefferson said, "If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Jefferson saw it coming 150 years ago. The question is, "Can you now see what is in store for us if we allow the FED to continue controlling our country?"

THE MOST DEADLY ENEMY THE UNITED STATES WILL EVER HAVE TO FACE

We are determined . . . to take possession of the United States, and rule them; but we cannot do that without acting secretly and with utmost wisdom.

If our plans become known, they will surely be defeated. - Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press, Protestant truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104 Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3, 1885, p. 373.

...........

1st. The most sacred principle of the United States Constitution is the equality of every citizen before the law. But the fundamental principle of the Church of Rome is the denial of that equality.

2nd. Liberty of conscience is proclaimed by the United States a most sacred principle, which every citizen must uphold . . . . But liberty of conscience is declared by all the Popes and Councils of Rome, a most godless, unholy, and diabolical thing, which every good Catholic must abhor and destroy at any cost.

3rd. The American Constitution assures the absolute independence of the civil from the ecclesiastical or Church power; but the Church of Rome declares, through all her Pontiffs and Councils, that such independence is an impiety and a revolt against God.

4th. The American Constitution leaves every man free to serve God according to the dictates of his conscience; but the Church of Rome declares that no man has ever had such a right, and that the Pope alone can know and say what man must believe and do. - ibid, p. 375.

And when the papacy takes over there will be bloodshed."

"The Church of Rome says that she has a right to punish with the confiscation of their goods, or the penalty of death, those who differ in faith from the Pope. - ibid, p. 376.

America simply has no idea of the terrible trouble and persecution that is coming soon at the hands of the papacy. The people of America have forgotten the wanton cruelty and unrestrained butchery this unholy power demonstrated during the Dark Ages when it slaughtered over 150 million Christians because they wanted to worship God according to the Bible. Hitler's holocaust against the Jews was tiny compared to the papal holocaust against Christians during the Dark Ages, and the Jesuit-controlled news media never mention these atrocities."

".............."

The Jesuits of the United States form one of the richest and most powerful corporations the world ever saw. - ibid, p. 375.

The papacy is by far the wealthiest institution on earth.

Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was the poorest of the poor. Roman Catholicism, which claims to be His church, is the richest of the rich. - Avro Manhattan, The Vatican Billions, Chick Publications, p. 17.

The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. - Jack Chick, Smokescreens, Chick Publications, p 73.

Very few people know anything about the Jesuits because of their extreme secrecy. Here is a description of them from the book The Great Controversy that shows the abominable character and deceptiveness of the pope's Jesuits"

............

And because the papacy is a so-called church, they pay not one penny of taxes. Because they are a so-called church, they are able to operate internationally outside of the laws and legal proceedings everyone else must follow.

Here are a few of the Jesuit-controlled corporations that totally support their Jesuits in congress and the government: American Airlines, TWA, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Boeing, Cigna, Coca-Cola, Daimler Chrysler, Exxon, Ford Motor Company, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot, May Company, McDonald's, Motorola, Philip Morris, Price-Waterhouse, Rite Aid, RJR Nabisco, Sony Corp. of America, Texaco, United Parcel Service, Walt Disney Company, and Wells Fargo.

These corporations give their Jesuit senators and congressmen in both the Democratic and Republican parties many thousands of dollars for their election campaigns. These senators and congressmen are the most radical and dangerous this country has ever had. They do everything they can to pass laws and regulations prohibited by our constitution, laws designed to destroy the United States, to eliminate freedom, and to convert the United States into a ruthless tyranny. They lie constantly to deceive the people so the people will go along with the laws and regulations they want to pass."

Obama Questions Halliburton's Move to Dubai Monday, March 12, 2007 Printable Format FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ben LaBolt

HQ Moves Offshore After Receiving Billions from Taxpayer Funded Govt. Contracts

WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, Sen. Obama sent a letter to President Bush condemning Halliburton's decision to move its top corporate officers from the United States to Dubai after receiving billions in business from taxpayer funded government contracts:

March 12, 2007

President George W. Bush The White House Washington, DC

Dear Mr. President:

It is troubling that an American company that has been awarded $25.7 billion in United States government contracts for Iraq reconstruction now plans to move its corporate headquarters from the United States to the United Arab Emirates. The announcement by Halliburton that its Chairman, President and CEO will move from Houston to Dubai to open a new corporate headquarters raises important tax, oversight, and national security questions that must be answered.

Halliburton is already embroiled in controversy over its mismanagement of government property including weapons in Iraq, its inadequate recordkeeping that prevents effective government oversight, and $2.7 billion worth of unsupported billing. These recent problems compound existing concerns about a Halliburton Dubai affiliate, which was registered in a tax haven and reportedly has conducted business with Iran, possibly in contravention of the Iran Libya Sanctions Act."

". Given the prominent role Halliburton continues to play in the reconstruction of Iraq and the growing use of private security contractors alongside American service members overseas, the American people have a right to answers."

Barack Obam

Dubai charges no income taxes...

The privately owned Fed's tax enforcers go after individual tax evaders with a passion, but not corporate tax evaders!They're using and screwing working class Americans to profit more from wars unlimited.

Many Firms Didn't Pay Taxes Most Corporations Skipped Payments From '98 to '05, GAO Says TOOLBOX Resize Print E-Links to this article By David Cho Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, August 12, 2008; Page D02

"About two-thirds of corporations operating in the United States did not pay taxes annually from 1998 to 2005, according to a new report scheduled to be made public today from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

In 2005, after collectively making $2.5 trillion in sales, corporations gave a variety of reasons on their tax returns to account for the absence of taxable revenue. The most frequently listed included the cost of producing their goods, salary expenses and interest payments on their debt, the report said.

The GAO did not analyze whether the firms had profits that should have been taxed.

Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.) called the findings "a shocking indictment of the current tax system."

It's shameful that so many corporations make big profits and pay nothing to support our country," he said. "The tax system that allows this wholesale tax avoidance is an embarrassment and unfair to hardworking Americans who pay their fair share of taxes. We need to plug these tax loopholes and put these corporations back on the tax rolls."

Eric Toder, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, said the vast majority of corporations are small businesses and start-ups that have adopted a corporate structure that allows them to lower their tax bills.

"I'm not trying to imply that there aren't tax-compliance issues among small corporaticorporations," he said. "But when you are talking about businesses that size, I would suspect the norm would be to not pay taxes, and there's nothing nefarious about that." Toder had not yet seen the GAO study.

A greater proportion of large corporations pay taxes, according to the GAO. In 2005, about 28 percent of large corporations paid no taxes. Of the 1.3 million corporations included in the study, 998 were categorized as "large."

Dorgan and Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) requested the report out of concern that some corporations were using "transfer pricing" to reduce their tax bills. The practice allows multi-national companies to transfer goods and assets between internal divisions so they can record income in a jurisdiction with low tax rates.

The GAO said data on transfer pricing were scarce. Instead, it compared the percentages of foreign- and U.S.-controlled corporations that are paying taxes.

"In general, the GAO found that slightly more foreign firms paid no taxes. From 1998 to 2005, 68 percent of foreign-controlled corporations sent nothing to the Internal Revenue Service, compared with 66 percent of U.S. companies. The report noted in an opening paragraph, however, that the GAO did not study whether the foreign companies were using transfer pricing.

Still, Levin said: "This report makes clear that too many corporations are using tax trickery to send their profits overseas and avoid paying their fair share in the United States."

http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007 /03/outcry_over_hal.html?loc=interstitialskip

'Outcry' over Halliburton's planned move to Dubai The news that Halliburton will move its headquarters from Houston to Dubai "immediately sparked criticism from U.S. members of Congress," CBS News reports.

"This is an insult to the U.S. soldiers and taxpayers who paid the tab for their no-bid contracts and endured their overcharges for all these years," Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in a statement. "

"At least for the moment, Halliburton is not just an oil-field services firm. Through its KBR subsidiary, Halliburton also is the Pentagon's largest private contractor operating in Iraq. Under a logistics contract with the Army valued at more than $25 billion, KBR serves up meals, builds bases and provides other support services for U.S. troops."

The company does plan to spin off KBR "into a separate entity," however, the Chronicle writes.

Dubai, of course, was in the middle of controversy last year when a company based there struck a deal to buy operations at six U.S. ports. There was an outcry from Democrats and others concerned about national security.

At the liberal Huffington Post, Raymond J. Learsy writes that "maybe we should simply bid good riddance to Halliburton. But somebody on Capitol Hill should look into their continuing registration as a United States company."

Dubai, of course, was in the middle of controversy last year when a company based there struck a deal to buy operations at six U.S. ports. There was an outcry from Democrats and others concerned about national security.

Crush Liberalism, though, thinks the company may be most interested in getting away from the "tax-oppressive U.S."

For its part, Halliburton says "the opening of a headquarters in Dubai is the next step in a strategic plan announced in 2006 to focus on expanding its customer relations with national oil companies while concentrating more of the company's investments and resources in growing its business in the Eastern Hemisphere."

Halliburton is, of course, the company that Vice President Cheney ran before becoming the GOP vice presidential candidate in July 2000."

Blackwater: The New World Order's Military?

"It looks like what's really going on is that Halliburton has decided to construct a new globalized corporate crime strategy. What a fine export. And we were worried about Dubai running some ports! Send to a friend Post a Comment Print Post Read all posts by Charlie Cray Gee, I wonder why Halliburton is looking to get rid of KBR. Perhaps it is because the K in KBR (Kellogg) used to be owned by the Bush family business known as Dresser Industries, which was acquired by Cheney when he was CEO of Halliburton. Dresser Industries bought Kellogg in 1988 and has been in the Bush family since the late 1920s. It is beyond me why this conflict of interest has seemed to escape the national spotlight for all these years. Cheney's main objective as Halliburton CEO was to bailout the Bush family from asbestos related lawsuits by using Halliburton's money to buy the privately owned Dresser Industries. He then separated Kellogg from Dresser, which quickly claimed bankruptcy, and combined Kellogg with Brown & Root. And now we have KBR, which benefited handsomely from the LOGCAP contracts Cheney so eagerly fought for. Brilliant!

Sherman Skolnick recorded this when Prezident Bush was running for election,

Depicted above is the new book Illinois Justice by Kenneth Manaster, a law professor, who tells all the ins and outs of one of the biggest judicial bribery scandals in U.S. history. The scandal catapulted John Paul Stevens, special counsel to an investigating commission, to fame as a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. The commission heard bribery accusations tendered by legal researcher Sherman Skolnick, which made him likewise well known. Skolnick uncovered documents in the basement of a county building showing that two judges on the Illinois Supreme Court were bribed by a banker, Theodore Isaacs, former chief tax collector of Illinois, to wipe out criminal charges against Isaacs. In August 1969 Time Magazine featured a story about Skolnick and the Illinois scandal that later finally put the former director of the Illinois Department of Revenue in jail along with his accomplice, a sitting federal appeals court judge.
