Well I finally did it.  After eight months of unemployment, I finally got a job!  I start on Monday in a field I'm highly familiar with.  Transportation.  I was so happy I promptly donated 50 Federal Reserve Notes to the Campaign For Liberty.  Now of course, getting a job didn't suddenly make me 50 bucks richer, however i now have a way to recoup that expense!  Once i am back on my feet (it will take a while to catch back up, being unemployed for so long does that to you) i am hopeful i can contribute more in a regular way.  Having a limited income really effects how much you can participate in things from rallys and marches to meetings and donations.  I simply didn't have the extra money to spend on gas and such.  Now i can continue the stock piling and continue the fight we are all entrenched in.  Restoring our Republic and our personal liberty.  I know this is a short and somewhat meaningless blog, but I'm so excited i just had to share!  Keep up the good fight everyone.

In Liberty

Fabulous news! Congrats!

Congratulations! I understand where you're coming from, because I don't have a job, and so I can't really contribute money to C4L, but I've donated a lot more of my time than others are able to do (who have a job), so I think it is just a case of different people contributing whatever they may have at the moment, which is what makes Campaign for Liberty so great.

Hello Fu manchu, another enlightening blog. I completely agree this is the ideal way to bring in restricted living that could lead to full martial law. I guess it doesn't matter if we want to fight because they are doing all the pushing. I've been stocking some things up preparing for the big one, but I'm nowhere near ready and restrictive movements will not help any one's cause. The medics over here are dismissing it saying the vaccine is not worth the risk, but I keep getting an unwelcome feeling that weather manipulation is related to this. France admitted having the technology so a particularly rainy summer might imitate the conditions required for flu to thrive. I want to see flu season through before i decide their intent with this bug, but it looks like things will get serious before that. Imagine if fighting broke then this f***er hit big. We need help from the science world quick, but not this quick; test it first! It's weird the way they are throwing this vaccine about, or alternatively extreme as usual.

Elysiumboy! Good to hear from you again buddy, hope you're doing well!

Ordinary flu kills many people almost every year. These incidents could be radically reduced with proper practices in animal husbandry. We always hear about the Asian flu, the Vietnamese flu, the Burmese flu, the Mexican flu, and so forth. We never hear the term 'the Iowa flu,' or the 'New Jersey flu,' or the 'Kansas flu.' This is because American farmers do not raise pigs in proximity to fowl of any kind. Flu begins in pigs and moves to fowl or begins in fowl and moves to pigs. Only after this has happened is the flu infectious to humans. As is the case in every other government program more attention is paid to treating the results than eliminating the cause. So here is the program: imposing fines on those who decline vaccination. It is noteworthy that no effort has apparently ever been made to educate ignorant third world farmers not to raise pigs in proximity to ducks.

I had to do some looking and learning in other places and I've also been vexing over what to buy and when to buy it for my emergency stock. I was amazed at how short some of the sell by dates were so I've had to rethink my whole plan. From the viewpoint of an accidental release, the flap about this vaccine is running totally out of proportion. However, put expectancy of mutation through prior knowledge as reason for their actions then it fits the bill far better. I can appreciate the normal flu kills many people every year, but normal flu hasn't had their meddling to it (well, at least we are not sure). $1,000 per day for not taking a vaccine that many in the medical world don't trust is just another money spinner that circulates a bit of that worthless finance around some super giant corporation.

Mexico's Army took control of customs Sunday on the busy US border, as federal authorities pulled agents off the job in a massive anti-corruption shakeup, officials told AFP.

An Interior Ministry official said the dismissals were being carried out at all Mexican border facilities, and that the customs agents were being replaced.

Customs agents were sacked after some were found to be linked to contraband operations, according to sources at the ministry.

Agents in Nuevo Laredo, on the border with the southern US state of Texas, were called in Saturday to be told they were fired, and to hand in their badges and weapons. A total of 1,100 agents were sacked, Mexican media said.

Army troops took over customs border posts temporarily on Sunday.

Mexico and the United States share a border that stretches across some 2,000 miles (3,220 kilometers) and are partners with Canada in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Mexico is in the midst of a raging war on organized crime, and has expressed serious concern about US weapons crossing into the country.

During a visit to Mexico last week, US President Barack Obama praised President Felipe Calderon for his controversial military crackdown on the country's drug gangs, which involves more than 36,000 troops.

The United States has pledged around 1.6 billion dollars to tackle drug trafficking in Mexico and Central America under the Merida Initiative, which also includes funds for training and equipment to boost security on the Mexican side of the border.

The Obama administration has acknowledged the US role in the violence, pledging to stem the flow of weapons into Mexico and curb demand for drugs in the United States, one of the world's top cocaine consumers.

Fu, George Bush spoke of protecting the Southern Borders... of Mexico. You will find that many members of the Border Patrol are Mexicans in any case. The Border Patrol advertised in Mexico this year for agents. Do you reckon that has anything to do with the corruption? Great Post. Thank you, Robert Walker

I know the title comes as no surprise to anyone here.  By now I'm sure you've all heard about the outrage many Americans are projecting at the health care bill at town hall meetings and such.  Polls have shown that the majority of people do NOT want socialized health care, in any form!  Well check out THIS article.  My favorite part is this little gem at the end of page 2:

"There will be healthcare reform bill passed and it will make a big difference in the lives of the American people."

Well, at least she's honest.

Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety - welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.

On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.

"I had felt they would be pointless," Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, referring to his recent decision to temporarily suspend the events in his Long Island district. "There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation."

In Bishop's case, his decision came on the heels of a June 22 event he held in Setauket, N.Y., in which protesters dominated the meeting by shouting criticisms at the congressman for his positions on energy policy, health care and the bailout of the auto industry.

Within an hour of the disruption, police were called in to escort the 59-year-old Democrat - who has held more than 100 town hall meetings since he was elected in 2002 - to his car safely.

"I have no problem with someone disagreeing with positions I hold," Bishop said, noting that, for the time being, he was using other platforms to communicate with his constituents. "But I also believe no one is served if you can't talk through differences."

Bishop isn't the only one confronted by boiling anger and rising incivility. At a health care town hall event in Syracuse, N.Y., earlier this month, police were called in to restore order, and at least one heckler was taken away by local police. Close to 100 sign-carrying protesters greeted Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) at a late June community college small-business development forum in Panama City, Fla. Last week, Danville, Va., anti-tax tea party activists claimed they were "refused an opportunity" to ask Rep. Thomas Perriello (D-Va.) a question at a town hall event and instructed by a plainclothes police officer to leave the property after they attempted to hold up protest signs.

The targets in most cases are House Democrats, who over the past few months have tackled controversial legislation including a $787 billion economic stimulus package, a landmark energy proposal and an overhaul of the nation's health care system.

Democrats, acknowledging the increasing unruliness of the town-hall-style events, say the hot-button issues they are taking on have a lot to do with it.

"I think it's just the fact that we are dealing with some of the most important public policy issues in a generation," said Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), who was confronted by a protester angry about his position on health care reform at a town hall event several weeks ago.

"I think in general what is going on is we are tackling issues that have been ignored for a long time, and I think that is disruptive to a lot of people," said Bishop, a four-term congressman. "We are trying, one by one, to deal with a set of issues that can't be ignored, and I think that's unsettling to a lot of people."

Freshman Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.), whose event at a Syracuse middle school was disrupted, said that he still planned to hold additional town halls but that he was also thinking about other options.

"I think you've got to communicate through a variety of different ways. You should do the telephone town hall meetings. You should do the town hall meetings. You should do the smaller group meetings," said Maffei. "It's important to do things in a variety of ways, so you don't have one mode of communication."

"You're going to have people of varying views, and in this case, you've got the two extremes who were the most vocal," Maffei said of the flare-up at his July 12 event.

On Tuesday, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who handles incumbent retention duties for House Democrats in addition to chairing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, met with freshman members to discuss their plans for the monthlong August recess. While the specific issue of town hall protesters never came up, according to sources familiar with the meeting, he urged them not to back away from opponents.

"He said, ‘Go on offense. Stay on the offense. It's really important that your constituents hear directly from you. You shouldn't let a day go by [that] your constituents don't hear from you,'" said one House Democratic leadership aide familiar with the meeting.

Some members profess to enjoy the give-and-take of the town halls, even if lately it's become more take than give.

"Town halls are a favorite part of my job," said Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.), a third-term congressman from St. Louis who noted that a "handful" of disruptions had taken place at his meetings. "It's what I do. It's what I will continue to do."

"People have gotten fired up and all that, but I think that's what makes town halls fun," said Perriello, a freshman who is among the most vulnerable Democrats in 2010. "I think that most of the time when we get out there, it's a good chance for people to vent and offer their thoughts. It's been good."

"I enjoy it, and people have a chance to speak their mind," he said.

Both Carnahan and Perriello said they were plunging forward with plans to hold more town hall meetings.

Republicans, with an eye toward 2010, are keeping close track of the climate at Democratic events.

"We've seen Russ Carnahan, we've seen Tim Bishop, we've seen some other people face some very different crowds back home," said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas). "The days of you having a town hall meeting where maybe 15 or 20 of your friends show up - they're over. You've now got real people who are showing up - and that's going to be a factor."

Asked later how or whether the GOP would use the confrontations against Democrats, Sessions responded: "Wait till next year."

But Democrats are quick to point out they're not the only ones facing hostile audiences. They single out Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.), who found himself in a confrontation earlier this month with a "birther" protester, and insist that Republicans face a backlash of their own if it appears the party is too closely aligned with tea party activists or other conservative-oriented protesters.

"It's a risk that they align themselves with such a small minority in the party," said Brian Smoot, who served as political director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the past election cycle. "They risk alienating moderates."
