I have read many books on this New World Order idea that accuses the Masonic organizations in trying to rule the world.
Many of the books that I've read and what I've heard in the media refer to the great seal of the United States on the back of the One Dollar bill.
The pyramid with the all seeing eye on top. Under which is stated in latin, A New World Order.
I'm wondering what all you think of this?

Well folks, looks like we're in for a big lying, screaming match, by those who we though were honest.
I'm talking about our political representatives in congress.
Yep, they all talk a good deal, about being honest and bringing change to our community's, but in reality, there just wanting to dip into our pockets a bit deeper.
This here mess on the Stock Market was caused by several things.
1. Not vary honest people giving money to people who were not vary good at paying there debts. We called it loan sharking years ago. Now it's just a bad investment.
2.Then there is Greed. Greed by good Americans who want to get rich fast. Greed by companies who want to make a quick buck. Greed by those people who see how dumb we really are in this country.
3. Responsibility. This mess deals with being responsible to handle your credit cards. Not running them up. Yet, we good folks in America now carry about 40,000 in credit card debt, on average. To me, that aint too bright.
This here 700 Billion dollar bail out of our banking system is just another ploy by those in big money to fleece you out of more of your money.
Heck we all know that.. but you good folks don't realize that we're all still going to be stuck with the bill like it or not.
Why, because the Rich folks just want it that way. They just keep lying to you and you just keep believing their lies. That's how you folks got into this here mess in the first place.
The good rich Republicans started lying to you about Family Values, and how you all we're going to get $1000.00 dollars in tax money back. If you voted for George W. Bush in 2000.
Then when you all did and he got in, the lying really got into high gear. Those Iraq's got WMD's.. they're going to kill you.. Big lie...
Billions of your tax dollars every month go to those rich Republicans who own military contracts with the government. Not a bad deal to get rich quick off the poor dumb Americans.
Now it's the rich Republicans in the banking industry who want to push another big lie about being broke.
Shoot all you dumb folks will buy it because you all have bought the lies before. Hook line and sinker.
Maybe it's about time you all wake up and pull the cotton out of your ears and open your eyes to what is really going on.
Your getting fleeced folks and the Republicans are doing it to you.

As our government bails out the irresponsible banking industry and is now forced to take on nearly a Trillion dollars of debt.
We must ask ourselves WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
While the wealthy investors, business owners, banking presidents, and boards of directors live a privilege life not caring what happens. Just worrying that there plan of making sure we the taxpayers are going to be stuck with the bill for all their partying, stock fraud and bad investments.
Back in the Reagan era when Saving & Loans were all doing the same thing as what is going on today with our Banking industry. We the Taxpayer were stuck with all that debt also.
Only to sell it back to those swindling bums for pennies on the dollar.
Not a bad business move when you look at the guys that were all behind the scam to swindle the American public out of there hard earned tax dollars.
Allen Greenspan, Jeb Bush, George Bush, and most of the head of the Republican Party. Even John McCain was up to his neck in this money stealing scam by the so called Saving & Loan company big wigs that lied about investments, cheated there investors, and then got off scott free with a slap on the hand.
Back then it was only 187 Billion we taxpayers were forced to part with. Now were talking about Trillions of taxpayer dollars.
No one is going to jail.. Just look a Enron, WorldCom, and all the other stock fraud scam Republicans.
It will not be any different with these Banking Investment folks either.
All are big shot Republicans.
All are well conected.
Just a slap on the hand and a good fleecing of the American Public.
When are we going to wake up to this scam to fleece the American Public out of there hard earned tax dollars by these Lying, Cheating, Greedy Republicans...!
What does it take to wake you folks up..?
This Banking Bail-Out by our government is just another Savings & Loan Scam..!
Didn't we learn our lesson 20 years ago..?

Once again we hear and read in the news how badly our economy is in this country.
The Stock Market drops 500 points on day and then the next day another 400 points.
America is being told we're on shaky ground and the bottom is dropping out of our economy. Wall Street is yelling Bail Us Out of this Mess we caused..
Our Government is responding to the Rich in this nation through big Taxpayer Billion Dollar Bail-outs.
So the Rich can keep going to their Country Clubs, and living in their Multi-Million Dollar homes. While taking vacations in the Bahamas and skiing in Vail.
Mean while, the poor dumb smucks of America, who lost their jobs due to these greedy fools. Now working for less pay, and often two part time jobs because there are no full time jobs to be found. Are being told by these ultra Rich bums we just bailed out with our hard earned Tax Dollars; "Your a bunch of welfare scum bums, living off our Government.." when applying for unemployment.
Odd how people in this country view others.
On one hand, those who have lost there jobs due to the greedy big business owners sending jobs overseas to increase their profit margins. Forcing good hard working Americans on to the unemployment line and welfare rolls.
Then those same folks having to hear your a bunch of Scum Bags living off the system for taking Welfare.. by the big heart less business types that caused their problems in the first place.
Then on the other hand, the big heart less business owners now doing the same thing by having our government bail them out of their fiscal irresponsibility.
The rich now are accepting Welfare from our government so they can still live a life of privilege.
More like the Pot calling the Kettle black.
Whats the difference between Rich Welfare and Poor Welfare. The homes and clubs they belong too.

As the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) along with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) look into this tragic incident. We must start to take a good look at the safety of our rail system.
When two trains collide on the same track, there are several reasons.
1. Dispatcher error.
2. Engineer error, as to time on tracks.
3. Faulty equipment.
4. Poor communication.
5. Weather
6. Employee fatigue, drugs, alcohol.
These factors/reasons will all be looked into by the NTSB & FRA as to how the accident happen.
When we look at the over all safety record of our rail transportation system, we see that it is vary good. Rail is safer than flying. Only draw back is speed from one point to another due to traffic on the rails by fright.
But, we must really consider Rail as a better safer transport system in today's economy. Rail is better for the environment because it uses less fuel, and can take more people to places within the United States cheaper than air transportation.
As the cost of fuel goes up so does the ridership on rail, Metro-link, AmTrak.
Now is the time we should be rethinking our national rail transportation system. Up grading it to a more efficient way of travel. Mag-Lev, is quite, safe, and vary fast.
If we Americans would make a commitment to this new rail system like our four fathers did when they built the Trans Continental Railroad. We would be helping reduce the amount of fuel use by over 50 % used to transport us from one city to another by air.
In the long term this would be a huge savings for all of us and also create badly need jobs in this country right now.
Lets think about it and let me know how you feel on this issue of better rail safety through an up-grade to Mag-Lev.

Once again we here in the news of another Republican who campaigned on "Family Values...!" and being a "Good Christian." Rep. Scott Muschany.
Well folks, I'm getting real tired of all these so called self righteous Republicans out there. Spreading their lies, cheating the public out of money and thinking they are above the law.
It is time we all take a real close look at all the people running for office now days. After all they are representing us (the people) and should be in line with our moral values.
In the past several years there have been many high ranking Republicans caught with their pants down so to speak.
Sexual scandal is of itself wrong, but when done by someone we have been asked to put our trust is even worse. I find it rather odd, that many in a party who judged former President Clinton of sexual misconduct are in fact worse than him...
Even worse... many so called Republicans out there, seem to want to ignore the sexual scandals by their own Republican Party officials.
I think many Americans who are registered Republicans out there, owe an apology to the registered Democrats. For we Democrats have been ridiculed for laps of judgment by one of our esteemed leaders.
This was by no means, a fault of ours, only the individual who was responsible for their actions.
To say or make statements like "Your one of those lousy Liberals.. who has no morals..! " Then refer to President Clinton and his sexual scandal, as though we Democrats were bad people in some way is wrong...!
The true bad people out there, are the ones who judge others, and then, they themselves through their own actions are worse.
Abortion, Gun control, are all issues of great concern for all of us. And we must all be opened minded about those issues and points of view.
Yet, it seems that the Republicans in our country want to use a more negative view to promote an opinion of false hope and miss-information.
Thus, dividing us as a people through core values of moral and ethical beliefs that strike at the vary heart of our national upbringing.
Maybe, as I have said before, a real cleaning of our government, State / National, is needed.
The Republicans time and time again have proved they are not of good moral or ethical beliefs we Americans hold to be a foundation of our nation.

Our friend, our brother, family and community leader will always be remembered for his warm smile and delightful cheer he brought others in our community.
It is with great sadness we bid him safe journey to the task he has been called to do by our great architect on high.
May the God of Love and Peace, greet him with open arms as Brother Swoboda did with all the people he knew in our community.
A community is only as great as the people who serve it. Brother Mike Swoboda, was a shining example of how we should serve our community.
I am humbled by his devotion to service and I respect his loving guidance he gave to not only his family, community and the Kirkwood Lodge.
Peace be with you Brother Swoboda, and peace be with your family.

Now that the Republicans & Deomcrat's have had their big party and showed the public how they spend money for no reason, we can finally go back to some sort of peace and quite again.
It seems to me a big waist of time and money to have a political party, when they all ready decided who there candidates were going to be in May of this year at the polls by the people.
If the people in the Republican & Democratic Party did not understand that, then they are pretty stupid.
The big show off, blow hard, bull session, that we Americans had to endure for the past two weeks was ridiculous.
Senator Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin are both ok people. Both are trying their best in there jobs to be good at them. Both are, for the most part, concerned citizens who feel they can make our society better in some way.
All of the people running for our two highest offices in this country are for the most part, qualified to do there jobs if hired by us the American people.
The stark difference between the two parties is just one point.
TRUST....!
For the past 8 years we have had a party in total control of our nation. The Republican Party.... And as we look back on there job proformance record, we the people are not too impressed by how they have been doing.
Let's look at there job record;
1. A huge stock market loss happened when they got in.
Why: because President Bush repealed an executive order that prohibited companies from laying off more than 50% of their employees unless componsating them through loss of wages and requiring schooling for them, to re-enter the work force in a different position.
2. The Republican Party pushed the American public to invade a country for no reason other than WMD's which proved to be faulse.
Now we are sending 1 billion dollars a month over to Iraq to rebuild their country, while our infrastructure falls apart in this country.
(Iraq has 97 billion dollars at this time)
We were told by the Republicans it would not cost us anything. The oil revenues would cover the costs. They lied...
3. Part of these billions of dollars goes to support an 80,000 man private security force to defend a country we invaded. When we already have 130,000 man military force there already being paied by us the American taxpayer.
4. The Republicans stated they would not make government bigger.
Yet, since they have been in, our government grew by leaps and bounds. They even added on a new department to our government "Homeland Security." That department cost billions of our tax dollars to support.
5. We were told by the Repblicans, that they would stop expansionism and shrink our military involment around the world. Yet, it grew, by occupying more countries.
6. The Republicans said they are Conservative. Yet, they spend money like water and have run up the national debt to the tune of 9 trillion. The total national debt is at 54 trillion.
When they took over our government in 2000 our national debt was only 4 trillion and we were paying that off.
7. The Republicans said they would lower my tax's.
But, in fact, my tax's went up... because they caused my overall real estate values to go up. This raise my tax's a lot. This did not benifit me but the Republican mis-managed government.
8. Many job's here were lost due to globalization and the push by the Republicans to move our job's over seas where there is cheap labor.
This move has caused many problems:
a. the mortgage crisis
b. public school underfunding
c. underfunding of state programs and infarstrucator
d. a country now on the brink of a depression
9. Bankruptcy laws changed to hurt the poor working man.
10. Ingoring the Constitution by allowing illegal wire taping of its citizens.
The list goes on and on. These are but a few points we really know about what the Republicans have done since they have been controling our government.
The Republicans now say, they are differnet. Yet, in fact, they are more of the same. Higher tax's, more government, more spending, and ingoring the common folks in America.
They spout "Family Values" "Kitchen Table Economic's" when in reality they are ultra wealthy and do not care for the poor working class.
As for the Democrat's, well, we hear Change... a lot. We have yet to see how things will change. But, any type of change is better than this.
