This nation IS a REPUBLIC, run by representatives ELECTED by the majority of its citizens.
Tonight, the majority have spoken.
How does this affect me?
It doesn’t change a thing I’ve done, been doing, or will do.
I don’t live for my leaders.
I live for my family, my community, and my friends. And, I believe in this nation. We’ve had harder times than this…this…is nothing.
Folks have hit many sore spots in many fairly negative threads, blogs, forums, and comments all over the web.
Do what you believe in…follow your heart…but do the RIGHT thing. No matter who…no matter what…no matter when.
To NOT help a fellow human because of skin color, party affiliation, race, creed, or anything else…shows and tells a lot about YOU.
There are words for that…
Bigot. Racist. Hatemonger.
I believe in the very foundation of this country…the Constitution…the Bill of Rights…that ALL men are created equal.
I’m seeing a LOT of postings in a few places that I visit with some regularity, from folks that say, and sadly, believe…otherwise.
I don’t like that.
Not one bit.
I will act on my principals…if it comes to divesting myself from evil.
This community of Americans here on the internet have done great things, helped each other over tough times, and created ideas and potentialities that could bear good for all.
But those few…and you know who you are…you don’t *have* shades of grey, or you have colors you just won’t accept…well, you get what you deserve.
For everyone else…yes, teach your children…we did…build your own business…we did…move to where you feel free and comfortable…we did.
When you gets lemons….make lemonades…do what you know to do with them.
If you can’t, it’s not MY fault…it’s not the government’s fault…it’s not your neighbors fault…it’s YOURS.
Act with maturity, integrity, and honor.
And, if you feel this nation is truly in trouble, use the law to change the law, to what YOU believe.
Ayers and Alinsky and other revolutionaries found ways to get inside, or around, the law, and Ayers is still doing it (Alinsky died in 1972). Ayers skipped prison time on a technicality, for his Domestic Terrorism exploits as founder of the Weathermen, where he bombed and killed people.
He and Alinsky-ists, and their ilk, found a way to use federal grants, which Obama happily helped push forward and apply for, and won enormous grants for educational programs…again, socialist in nature…and as so many on the web been have mentioning regarding O’bama’s mentors….a Marxist is a Marxist is a Marxist…pure and simple.
Read up on it…UNDERSTAND all that THAT means. We, as a nation, have a quandary. The minority of non-Obama supporters fears…are real, and valid. See my previous two posts. Obama has ties to evil…threats to the American Way…that go back DECADES. And, I will NOT waste time talking about the criminal syndicate that is known as the Chicago Political Machine…one of the most corrupt in the nation.
In our case…regarding YOU…become a solution to this threat of socialistic dichotomies….work for freedom…for all…not more laws, taxes, covenents, surveillance, or anti-constitutionalist bull crap…the very things that Obama fed us in his march to the White House.
Think about change…not the change that Obama has been pushing ( I mean, all this man has EVER done is TALK…NEVER worked in the REAL world, gotten his hands DIRTY, had an aching back from a long workday, etc, etc). Make change, by finding solutions that work for FREEDOM and bust your butt to change your world, change it for the BETTER.
Not for socialism…not for marxism…not for the Bourgeoisie (google it…then visualize Obama as THE bourgeoisie)…
Do it for the future generations of Americans…who JUST want FREEDOM.
Think…William Wallace…gutted…strangled…about to be beheaded and drawn and quartered in front of a crowd of hundreds, if not thousands…
His last word. Freedom.
Nothing more….nothing less.

This just in from Yahoo news…
White House calls meeting on al Qaeda threat: report Tue Jul 10, 8:25 PM ET
The White House has called an urgent multi-agency meeting for Thursday to discuss a potential new al Qaeda threat on U.S. soil, ABC News reported on Tuesday.
Top intelligence and law enforcement officials have been told to meet in the White House Situation Room to report on steps to minimize or counter the threat and what steps are being taken to tighten security at government buildings, ABC said.
The meeting would be one of a number that have been convened in light of new intelligence and information learned from the recent failed car bomb attempts in London, ABC reported, citing a senior U.S. administration official.
The unnamed official told ABC the level of concern of a new attack in the United States was now higher than it had been in some time.
The White House had no immediate comment on the report.
Law enforcement officials said the botched bombings in London provided clues about possible tactics, ABC reported.
Two car bombs were found in London and a fuel-packed jeep was rammed into Glasgow Airport in Scotland two weeks ago. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said both plots were associated with al Qaeda.
ABC News cited senior U.S. intelligence officials as saying that new information suggests a small al Qaeda cell was on its way to the United States or may already be in the country.

Secret Document: U.S. Fears Terror ‘Spectacular’ Planned
Official Cites Resemblance to Warnings and Intelligence Before 9/11
By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and RICHARD ESPOSITO
July 1, 2007 —A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror “spectacular” this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.
“This is reminiscent of the warnings and intelligence we were getting in the summer of 2001,” the official told ABCNews.com.
U.S. officials have kept the information secret, and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today on ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that the United States did not have “have any specific credible evidence that there’s an attack focused on the United States at this point.”
As ABCNews.com reported, U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of terror attacks in Glasgow and Prague, the Czech Republic, against “airport infrastructure and aircraft.”
Next, hear what DHS head Michael Chertoff had to say on video about these latest threats…in a video interview with the Chicago Tribune.
Finally, read the transcript of the interview with Chertoff on Sunday, July 1st, on ‘FOX News Sunday’, regarding the UK attacks, and current threats to the US under investigation…
Situational Awareness is your friend….

In the last two days, there have been one successful terror attempt (no deaths) at the Scotland Airport, two vehicles rigged to explode in London (both found and defused before any casualties), and great concern for those kinds of things happening in the US.
According to Michael Chertoff, the Director of US Department of Homeland Security, there is no valid information suggesting that there might be similar attempts of the same kind. His comments as of this morning are:
At this point, I have seen no specific, credible information suggesting that this latest incident is connected to a threat to the homeland. We have no plans at this time to change the national threat level, although we remind everyone that the aviation threat level has been raised to orange since last fall.
The Glasgow incident (eyewitness video) was witnessed by many, and involved at least two individuals who dorve the blazing Jeep Cherokee vehicle into the departures section of the main terminal of the airport Saturday afternoon.
In the Friday incidents, two different vehicles parked near nightclubs (actually only a few hundred yards away) were rigged to explode, yet failed to go off. Had they been rigged to create a secondary attack, where first one bomb goes off, and when the area is swarming with first responders and onlookers, then a second device explodes killing even more? I’ve yet to see this suggested in media, but it makes sense. With this in mind, it does seem to have all the earmarks of Al Queda connections.
According to Foxnews,
it emerged that a 53-page document alerting businesses to the threat posed by VBIEDs — vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices — had been issued to police two weeks ago. It had been passed on to the Tiger Tiger club only a few days before yesterday’s events.
The incident also appeared to be foreshadowed by a posting on an Internet forum used by terrorists, saying: “Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah. London will be bombed.”
Because of these events, the UK has raised their alert level to its highest rating of Critical Threat, which means “an attack is expected imminently”. Over half a million closed circuit cameras cover London, one of the most surveillance capable cities in the world. Given this fact, it should come out sometime in the next few weeks that video of the culprits has been found, leading to quite a bit of action in tracking them down.
Until then, all of us should remain vigilant in the US for similar activities, especially given this weekend of Independance Day celebration.
Be careful out there.
Rich
EDIT UPDATE ONE: I did receive a reference from at least one source that the multiple vehicles COULD have been intended for a layered, delayed, secondary attack.
EDIT UPDATE TWO: The complete story from the Daily Mail can be found at the Daily Mail website. It has on the seen photos of the terrorist actually on the seen and being doused with water by responders.

Shane Connor of Ki4u.com, Nukalert fame, and other great prep sites asked me to convert this video into an online presentation.
In this video, Steve Jones of Physicians for Civil Defense, interviews Kirk Paradise, of Huntsville, Alabama Emergency Management and Madison County EMA. A very good discussion of what the recent history of the national fallout shelter program looked like, what was accomplished, and who was mostly responsible for the fallout shelter program in the United States falling apart because of decisions at the highest levels of government to not shelter our population.
This video goes into detail of what a city or county can do with data left over from the federal studies, and create a workable shelter plan for most of it’s population, before fallout shelter is needed. In the case of Huntsville, they are downwind from a nuclear power plant, and if the plant were to be attacked by terrorists, a fallout situation would be a very real issue.
Unfortunately, this 24 minute video had to be cut into three pieces, due to YouTube’s 10 minute video time limit. No problem. Below are all three videos in the proper order…Enjoy!

This video report was placed on YouTube by CBS today. It’s an interview of FBI Director Robert Mueller by Bob Orr of CBS news, about the growing threat of a nuclear attack against the U.S. and what authorities must do to prevent it. (CBSNews.com)

It’s been noted by several folks that Mueller appears VERY nervous about this story.

This news story shouldn’t come as any surprise to Americans. After all, for years now (since 9/11) how many times has some talking head for the Bush administration used the phrase, “It’s now if…but when…”, with regards to future attacks on US soil and/or US interests abroad.
This speech was given this morning by Robert S. Mueller, Director of the FBI, who spoke this morning at the Global Initiative Nuclear Terrorism Conference in Miami. His comments confirm claims made in a new book “The Day of Islam” detailing al-Qaida’s nuclear plans.
I fear that Mueller’s words are right. It is just a matter of time before the US sees a nuclear detonation, or use of a dirty bomb, on our soil…and that the death toll could make the carnage of 9/11 look like child’s play. What better reason to at least try to understand what a fallout shelter is, how to build an expedient shelter, and how long to stay in one…should you be downwind…
Here’s a portion of the speech. Follow the link below to read the entire story.
Fair Use Applies…
Good morning. It is an honor to be here with all of you today.
My thanks to Governor Crist and Mayor Diaz for joining us this morning, and to all those who organized this conference.
I also want to welcome Assistant Secretary John Rood and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak from the Kazakhstan conference. We appreciate your joining us, especially given the time difference.
We are here to discuss one of the most dangerous and deadly threats we face: nuclear terrorism. Few threats fall into the same class in terms of sheer devastation, damage, and loss. Few strike such fear in the hearts of the public. And few threats are so appealing to terrorists around the world, for the same reasons.
It has been said that the September 11th attacks were a “failure of imagination.” We cannot fail to imagine the consequences of a nuclear terrorist attack. Nor can we fail to imagine that there are those for whom such an event is the end game.
Prevention must be our end game. Should there be a nuclear attack anywhere in the world, it would mean in some sense that we have failed in our mission. That is why we are here this week.
This morning, I want to talk about the threat of nuclear terrorism. I want to touch on our collective efforts in the United States to keep our citizens safe. And I want to discuss what we in the international community must do to contain this threat.

Short answer is this…there are a few areas that seem to have come to light from many contacts of mine over the last few weeks…and it’s not looking good.
BF seems to THE concern…
* it’s getting closer…now in the UK, and it’s been moving this direction all the way from Indonesia…crossing the whole of Eurasia in its march to our shores
* insurance companies are writing special riders to NOT have to pay out for anything the may be BF related
* first responders across the nation have had more than a little bit of reference and training for pandemic fears
* big media has plans and some product in work to start the sheeple thinking from a ‘pandemic’ point of view
* articles in computer industry magazines, as of today, fear that the net may falter, should home based workers, forced to work from home due to flu control measurements, actually have to work from home
* government has plenty of meds for the key folks in goverment and key workers (fuel, power, food producton, etc), but only a portion of the general populace…and then, only in larger cities and metro areas…
* transportation and distribution systems ALREADY IN PLACE may be used nationwide to get products (meds, food, reserves) to key locations…as needed. In other words, using a known system, versus creating an entire system from scratch
* some big chains are very quietly adding prep items in key places….more floor and shelf space devoted to them…camping, cleaning, self sufficiency items
* vaccine creation on the final med can’t proceed until we’re already 6 months into a pandemic
* some bits and pieces from all over the place, that seem to support the above elements….
…and it all revolves around an almost certain disturbing, gut wrenching, and heart pounding realization, that bird flu pandemics are in our immediate future.
It’s building…a lot faster than we’ve anticipated….
And, I hope to HELL I am wrong on all accounts above…
