    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Wake up and Smell the Treason! They are not selling us out, they are giving away our security and propsperity to foreign powers.</p>
    ]]></summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It was only a few months ago that we rose up and said no to the giving away some of our most sensitive ports to the United Arab Emirates. The concept of having any foreign power in control of something that was so critical not only to our economy but to our security and sovereignty was rightfully frightening. Well get your pitch forks and torches ready again, the border is coming to Kansas City with the proposed Franken-port and the treacherous highway corridor to slavery and defeat. </p>
<p>The idea is to bring freight directly from the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas in sealed containers to Kansas City where it will then finally go through customs. What this means is that tons of even more cheap Chinese and Mexican goods will come into Kansas City at a lower cost and duty free due to NAFTA and CAFTA. What you are not being told is that it is not American workers who work at the port or transport these goods to Kansas City. It will be owned and operated by the Mexican government in Mexican sovereign territory right here is Kansas City. We will allow Mexican trucks and trains access through Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas and we will not be allowed stop, inspect, or even enforce safety inspections of this freight before it reaches the smart port </p>
<p>Mexico has already demonstrated that it is a corrupt regime. They have demonstrated no interest in cooperating in stopping the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border. There have been border violations by Mexican military and gun fire exchanged with the border patrol and sheriff’s deputies in what we used to considered acts of war. We have even Arab terrorists crossing the border dressed as Mexican migrant workers and confessions from those terrorists that the Mexican government was paid cash money to help them cross. Who knows how many we didn’t catch? Is this who we should trust with inspecting cargo coming right into the heart of America? What assurances do we have to prevent the importation of weapons of mass destruction, containers full of illegal aliens or terrorists, weapons, or even foreign invasion troops? And “Homeland Insecurity” even thinks this is a good idea?</p>
<p>Most politicians and the media are shamefully silent about this issue. They are trying to tell us that they are protecting American jobs and securing the border while behind our backs in secret they are securing support and financing for the Kansas City Smart Port and the Trans-national highway corridor connecting it. Many of our local and federal representatives are illegally preparing to give over to the Mexican government our tax dollars as well as gift of territory to a foreign power that will operate this port or parts of the highway corridor. Stop the governer from giving away any Kansas highway for this purpose. This will provide strategic choke-holds over our transportation and communication networks by a foreign power. Wake up and smell the treason!  They are doing this without our permission, knowledge, and without the proper two-thirds ratification of the U.S. Senate. This by definition makes any politician or businessman an agent of a foreign power. It violates their oaths of office and this used to be called treason. “Lamestream” Democrat or RINO Republican makes no difference, if they support this they need to be removed from office. Vote for reform.</p>
<p>According to CFR documents this is just the beginning of what will become a new Pan-American Union in which the United States will cease to exist  There is more, you are going to pay for this in lost jobs, higher taxes, toll roads, and even more property stolen under eminent domain. Is your property next? They aren’t even bothering to sell this infrastructure to Mexico like they did with Dubai, they giving it to them! Find out what you can do. Come to the Operation U-turn rally on September 30th at the Kansas City Clarion Hotel 9103 East 39rh, Kansas City, starting at 9 am.  Abraham Lincoln said, “At what place shall we expect the approach of danger and if it reach us, it must spring from among us, it can never come from abroad. If destruction be out lot then we ourselves must be it authors and finishers, as a nation of freemen we shall live through all time or die by suicide” If we can not stop this insanity, stick a fork in us we are done. The Smart Port will become a monument to stupidity for which our children’s children will judge us.</p>

    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>If you are concerned about quality, quantity, and price of your next meal, you need to be concerned about this issue. How can a micro chip protect me?</p>
    ]]></summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Kansas City was recently host to a conference on the National Animal Identification System sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the media was shamefully silent about the conference as well as the hundreds of protestors in the street. Why was not this more news worthy? If NAIS is supposed to protect us from disease then what is the problem? </p>
<p>Can a micro chip implant really protect us from any animal disease especially since the FDA has recently approved adding back the live viruses in the food that the NAIS is supposed protect?  They are also radiating food without telling us. The Department of Energy has even approved low level radioactive waste metal to be used in consumer goods without having to tell you. Weapons of Mass destruction against innocent women in children are spreading depleted uranium all around globe, maybe even settling in your backyard right now.  And the abominations in the name of world population reduction are too numerous to list here.  This insanity is not going to stop unless we stand up to stop it.  </p>
<p>Our foods including many organic foods are losing the nutrient value that they used to have because our farm and range soils are depleted of essential nutrients. They put poison and chemicals in our food and water. They are not required to tell us if genetic modified organisms are in your food. The FDA is trying to shut down organic farmers markets. It is attacking such farms that make any health claims. They are trying to water down our labeling so that organic no longer means that it is free from chemical contaminants or genetically modified organisms.  International codex standards threaten to take away our rights to nutritional supplements and alternative medicine. The schools are diagnosing and dispensing psychotropic drugs to our children for commission from drug companies. The federal government pays your school system a bounty on each of your children that is injected with toxic witch’s brew called vaccines. And now a micro chip is supposed to protect us?</p>
<p>Can NAIS protect us from an animal disease outbreak when those large populations held in close quarters that are most likely to get rapid outbreaks are exempt from individual chipping? Then why bother? The NAIS is nothing more than backdoor attempt at federal licensing of all farms through premise permits and most assuredly another assault on small family farming. Kansas State University recently published that the NAIS will cost anywhere from $300 per $1200 per animal for the average sized farmer in Kansas. There are draconian fines of $1000 per day proposed for non-compliance despite that it being sold as voluntary program. Least we ever forget that both the income tax and social security are still officially called voluntary?  </p>
<p>This is nothing more than another salvo against independent farming in a long list of financial assaults, warrant-less land seizures against property owners, and failed farm policies that have changed America into net importer of food. If you are concerned about quality, quantity, and price of your next meal, you need to be concerned about this issue. Most candidates in the current election are also silent on this issue or they support it. Support those who oppose the NAIS and support reform in our entire system. Support those that support health and nutritional freedom. Otherwise, your dogs and cats are next and perhaps even you will be marked like these beasts</p>

    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The problem is a broken electoral system and politicians that violate their oaths of office and bend at every whim of corporate money.</p>
    ]]></summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Letter to the League of Women Voters</p>
<p>Dear Ladies:</p>
<p>I want to thank you for the courtesy and consideration that you extended in requesting my views on your recent survey. Although, I have already responded I am writing because I don’t think your survey did justice to the most important issues facing Kansas today. I am also disturbed but, not surprised by past behavior of the league to simply ignore or fail include third party alternatives in candidate forums sponsored by the league. It has only been a month since the filings closed, I am already getting letters and cards from some groups that say, we are sorry that you were not able to participate in our candidate’s forum. But here is the frustration, no one even bothered to tell me about the event.</p>
<p>I know that the league does not promote any candidate or party but prides itself on promoting a fair and open unbiased access to all in the electoral process. I know that you are not responsible for choices that other organizations make in determining who to include in their forums. But, you have in the past demonstrated a bias toward only including candidates from the two established parties in your national and congressional debates and forums. Should it surprise us when others also continue to think inside this orthodox box as well?</p>
<p>When I told my boss that I decided to run for office but not as either a Democrat or Republican, he said he understood. He said for last twenty years he has never voted “for” anyone. His votes have all been calculated to vote “against” some one. Is this really the kind of electoral system we want to promote and leave for our posterity? If the established parties cannot give us decent choices then, isn’t may be time to at least consider the alternatives? The inherit problems facing Kansas and the nation of bigger and bigger government, more oppressive taxation, and the loss of our freedoms comes a broken electoral system. Constitutional amendments won’t fix anything when we continue to have politicians who will not keep their oaths of office and break the constitution at every chance they get because they are more beholding to corporate money interest.</p>
<p>In this regard, I am distressed that the league did not see it necessary to consider the integrity of the voting system in Kansas as an important issue. We must have a secure and verifiable voting system in Kansas and electronic touch screen and voting machines systems have been found to be too susceptible to fraud and manipulation. At present there are not any efforts in Kansas to screen voters to make sure that “illegal alien” non-citizens do not vote in Kansas. Are these issues not important to fair, open, and unbias elections?   </p>
<p>I am also distressed that issues concerning the loss of our liberties and freedoms as guaranteed in the bill of rights are not important to the league. Property rights and land grabs, government surveillance, and abuse of privacy are they not important? Kansas has tremendous problem with the failing agricultural economy and the depopulation of rural Kansas and you did not find it important to ask about preserving to the freedom to farm in Kansas? The federal government is attempting to license and tag every farm and farm animal. They are trying to shut down farmers markets. And these are not important? The health of our citizens is a concern for all of us but, not one question regarding protecting our freedoms and the right to have access to clean wholesome food and nutrition </p>
<p>Then you make not even be aware of attempts and plans already underway to construct Trans-American superhighways and international ports and hubs in Kansas that will be owned and operated by foreign governments to import more and cheaper foreign goods. The plan calls for Kansas taxpayers to pay for this not only through higher taxation but the loss of more and more to the Kansas economy. </p>
<p>Gasoline prices continue to soar in part because the falling dollar but largely due to manipulation of prices. There are no real shortages. We have more than enough oil in the United States alone but, independent producers need protection from the big boys who are currently buying oil at less than $10 per barrel and selling it to us at above $70. Other wells and fields have been capped and ordered shut down and our politicians just going along with it. Domestic producers cannot compete when it costs them $15- $20 to produce it. When will all the insanity stop? It will not stop with the established parties. They are ones giving us this mess. I beg of you, do more to include third party candidates in your forums.  </p>

    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Who is standing for us? Where is the Operation American Freedom?</p>
    ]]></summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>As we celebrate the <a href="http://www.fourth-of-july-celebrations.com/html/history-of-july-4th.html">Fourth of July</a>, most Americans are blissfully ignorant of what it means. We don’t grasp the significance of what our forefather’s did or that Independence means national sovereignty. They threw off the shackles of tyranny to form a free nation that gave us the freedom and prosperity that was once the envy of the world. But today, it has changed.</p>
<p>	In the war against terrorism we have sent troops all around the world to protect our freedom but we leave our borders wide open. Then we destroy those very freedoms by increasing police power, surveillance, and assaults against our bill of rights. Our property is seized, judges run amuck, and the yoke of taxation and regulation never ends. We must now form supra national unions for peace and prosperity; selling out the sovereignty that we celebrate on the 4th and surrendering our laws to those of international agreements and Pam American Unions. Why does harmonizing our laws always mean that we must lower our standards rather than raise those of whom with we are joining? If we celebrate the flag but destroy everything it stands for, who is standing for us? Who is protecting us? Who is giving us an Operation America Freedom? </p>
<p>	The newspapers are questioning why readership has dropped off. So they give us fluff and pretty colors but still feed us filtered dribble. Here is bright idea, why not give us substance otherwise, it is just entertainment.  </p>
<p>	So when the smoke clears and burgers are cooked and between the rockets red glare and apple pie, why not read <a href="http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/declaration.html">The Declaration of Independence</a> this year? Substitute new enemies for old, then you see that our own government has done to us everything that King George did to our forefathers. Then you will know that all that is necessary for evil the triumph is for good men to do nothing. Remember this on Election Day, there is always another choice than the current two party two step. If we don’t change there is no Independence Day anymore.  </p>

    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>A Vote for the lessor of two evils is still a vote for evil.</p>
    ]]></summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>We are constantly deluded into believing a false left-right paradigm. How many times have you been told that voting for anyone other than a candidate from either of established Republic-crat or Demo-con party is a wasted vote. We are told over and over that third party candidates are simply not viable because they have no hope of winning the election. So we continue to follow the same insanity, doing the same thing over and over only the get the same results. It seems that no matter who we elect, whether they Republican or Democrat we keep getting the same results.    The whole Liberal v. Conservative, Democrat v. Republican, Labor v. Conservative, or Capitalism v. Socialism polarity, is a fraud.</p>
<p>It does it matter whether it is Democrat or Republican, we continue to get bigger and bigger government, more and more oppressive taxation, our freedoms are evaporating as surely the ink fades on our constitutional guarantees. Judges, police, and unconstitutional agencies are exercising authority over our property and lives that are in direct violation to or alienable rights that have been granted to us from our creator. We are no longer secure in our homes, effects, properties, papers, or even the health choices over our own bodies. Our right to freedom of conscience is threatened by attacks against freedom of speech, assembly, and religious expression. They have consolidated the media and the school system to be controlled only by a few individuals and have conspired to keep us ignorant by simply controlling the information we are allowed to know. </p>
<p>We have gotten the best legislators that money can buy and they have manipulated elections to keep and appoint their corrupt servants to serve them. They have surrendered our sovereignty and national security to international agencies, organization, and corporate interest. They have infested us with illegal aliens and turned a blind eye while we are slowly being colonized by foreign powers. They have destroyed the economy in trade deals to enhance corporate profits at expense of jobs and a falling dollar. Our military who are loyal to protecting America are sent overseas to die in foreign conflicts which are planned in advance and manipulated to promote corporate interests. Some how you are programmed to believe that to protect freedom in America, we have to destroy it here and we have wage war against innocent women and children around the globe with weapons of mass destruction. This government of the People, for the People, and by the People has become a government of the corporate money, by corporate money, and for the corporate money. If this is what you want then vote for an establishment candidate, if it is not then you are throwing your vote away if you do.</p>
<p>Within the real matrix there is no difference. The establishment parties are all working toward the same end. Whether you believe in God does not matter but the real struggle is between God’s way versus that of men. The elite thinks you can achieve utopia by changing man from the outside through the use of force, rewards, and enlightenment. God says that you can only have the kingdom of God if you allow men to change from the inside. God’s way is to give men “freedom to choose”.  The global matrix wants to take it way from you.  They want to force you to do it their way, because they have brains the size of planets and they think know better than God.  Remember this, the vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. Don’t throw your vote away. Run for office yourself and vote for alternative third party choices.</p>
