RD: "Did you hear the latest joke - the 5% atheist in the military want atheist chaplains!?!"

They claim that it is a matter of equality." DR: 'It is reminiscent of the 1970 U.S. Supreme

Court decision that atheists can be conscientious objectors. Who's laughing? This

is one of our live articles but not the type with a live audience; taped." JW: "Members of the crew

find it quite humorous." DR: "Jocularities, jocularities." RD: "It is perfectly clear that our

Founding Daddies wanted a Republic not a democracy for in the latter one or more bill of

rights can be taken away from those in the minority, including, those with a minority

opinion. They didn't want the minority unduly inconvenienced. However, they did not desire

minority rule! Nor, the minority curtailing the rights of the majority. There is no justification

for the expense of having atheist chaplains for the defined purpose of a chaplain is to assist

with spiritual needs! Please connect to the web sites 'Citizenj' and 'rickadd' via Facebook-

Second American Revolution or Twitter- @rickaddsite to learn how

military traditions going back to our founding and even older ones are being unceremoniously

discarded in the new hyper-sensitive PC military. DR: It's absurd! As was the 1970 Supremes'

decision for a conscientious objector is defined as someone who can't wear a uniform due to

their religion or can wear a uniform but can't fight, therefore, must serve as support soldiers.

To steal from Al Gore: these are inconvenient truths! JW: "I would like to interrupt this live

on tape - I'm still not quite sure what that is - article by saying that I'm having a good time. I'm

more active at CJCS Comsats then ever before. Just last week, I contributed to 'OFFENDING

with TRUTH' at rickadd." Plato: My 'Man in the Cave' series appears at www.comsat-ak.blogspot.com

This constitutes my first appearance at the flagship web site. I should be offended that I haven't

be invited to work here before: the offices and dressing rooms are spectacular and there's even a

studio. Is rather shabby at the other venues in comparison - no bad, just comparatively so."

RD: "Black - I reiterate, we at CJCS will never say African-American because the Reverend

Jesse Jackson ordered everyone to do so in '88, we don't take orders from J 'little Dynamite' J. -

leaders and lib politicians claim that more blacks are arrested than whites because of bigotry.

According to U.S. Census/FBI/Police reports blacks are 13% of the population and are responsible

for over 50% of murders, rapes, assaults, armed robberies, robberies, domestic violence, muggings.

And, to make 'em look worse over 60% of their crime is black-on-black! Rank-and-File blacks

are elated when there is higher police presence in their neighborhoods. Leaders and libs out-of-

touch. Over the past ten years, the percentage of incarcerated blacks has declined by 8%. We

hope this isn't the result of white cops becoming less aggressive for fear of being accused of

racism and black cops being reticent for fear of being called uncle toms. RD: "What did you say,

Edgar Cayce...what...Ron Paul is going to be the next president. Stay out of trouble: Go back to

sleep*. No, wait! Stay awake. You're known as the sleeping prophet!" Plato: "Are you prefaces

always so long." RD: "You're more talkative than are other producers. Plato: "May I have the honor

I've been learning modern lingo, man, since I been here. I was consulted for article about me at

As is our wont, we start off with cosmos (which means universe) followed by cosmos (which means

 world) and Offending with Truth when circumstances warrant.

       In docs, articles and books, we are told that the first extra-solar planets were discovered in the

mid-'90s. Yet, we have the '69 edition of "Exploration of the Universe" by George Abell (Holt,

Reinhart, Winston; Abell with its revised editions was considered the bible of astronomy by many,

if not most, college professors from the mid-'60s to the mid-'80s) states, "...invisible members

whose presence is revealed only be their gravitational effects ...In a few cases these unseen stars

have very small masses; a companion of the star 61 Cygni, for example, has a mass that is only 1/60

that of the sun, and Barnard's star has a companion with a mass not much greater than Jupiter's...

Unfortunately, our most powerful telescopes can not reveal an object as insignificant as the earth

revolving around even the nearest other star. We may never know, then, whether worlds similar to

the earth exist beyond the solar system." (Of course, we now have the Kepler Space Observatory doing

just that...Ah, you can't beat a traditional library). Do you have an explanation? Drop me a line at

      The shuttle Enterprise never flew in space but was used for testing components and experiments on

the ground and in the air. A personal note by Rick (RD): In 1977, my younger sister, Diane, and I saw it

from NYC during a test. In April, she saw it again riding piggyback on a modified Being 747. The circle

was complete --- for her - as I was ill.

Japan enjoyed the dubious distinction of being Number One: Highest Corporate Income Tax in the World.

Recently, they lowered it making the U.S.A. Number One. Yippee!

      Barney Frank's Fannie and Freddie began issuing mortgages to people who couldn't afford them

under Clinton - it was a firm of redistributing the wealth.

     BO wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax for the rich to 30%. Kennedy and Reagan lowered it to get

out of recessions, create jobs and increase R & D. We want the rich investing more in corporate stocks

and bonds. Kennedy-Reagan-W lowered income tax rates for everyone and eliminated some of the

deductions enjoyed by the rich. The rich wound-up paying less %-wise but more $-wise but didn't

complain because they were making so much more. BO wants to raise the top rate during this on-going

recession.  Not only will it hurt the economy, libs won't use money for debt reduction: they will spend more!

Increase revenue to fed gov by lowering rate and eliminating deductions and make certain additional

funds are used to deal with the Debt Crisis!

     We said it before and it is worth saying again: we should return to the days when citizens didn't directly

choose U.S. Senators. We interrupt citizens for...

Alfred Hitchcock Presents...This A.D.D. Moment is brought to you by Adderall, Kentucky Sipping Whiskey and

Mozart, Edison Einstein.** Al: "{Here is} some irrelevant comment by our host." {run commercial} CJCS

Comsats best enjoyed with cold beer, cold pizza and an X-rated presentation at YouTube: Rickaddsite. Al:

"Brothers and sisters, this evening's story is concerned with higher education, specifically, for members of

Greek letter fraternities....{this fraternity} paddle...they apparently have very small canoes."

 It is said the Einstein didn't speak until age 4 and construct complete sentences until 8. It has been widely

reported that little Albert was a poor student. Is this true?  Three biographies; Three stories. "The Blunder

Book" by M. Hirsh Goldberg (Quill, 1984): "From 'The Drama of Albert Einstein (Doubleday, 1954) by

Antonia , who knew Einstein personally over many years: 'All the members of the family who knew Albert

as a child or heard his elders speak of him described him as almost backward...{He} revealed a deliberate

slowness in all that he did which irritated his teachers.' Later after he became interested in Euclidean

geometry because of a gift of a book, he 'made great progress in mathematics at school but was backward

in most of the other subjects. There was nothing to draw attention to him...His former teachers, in fact, did

not even remember having him in their classes.' 

"From 'Einstein: The Life and Times (World Publishing, 1971), a 718-page biography by Ronald W. Clark

(editor's note: this book is part of our collection): '...Einstein's son Hans Albert...says his father was withdrawn

from the world even as a boy --- a pupil for whom teachers held out only poor prospects.' According to Clark,

Hans related the story that a teacher, asked by Albert's father about the boy's future, remarked, 'It doesn't

matter what he does, he will never amount to anything.' Clark further writes: 'Einstein became, as far as

the professional staff of the {Swiss Federal Polytechnic School} was concerned, one of the awkward scholars

who might or might not graduate but who in either case was a great deal of trouble.'"

"From 'Subtle is the Lord...: The Science and Life of Albert Einstein' (Oxford University Press, 1982) by Abraham

Pais, who, himself an eminent physicist, worked alongside Einstein in the years after World War II: 'At about

age 6 he attended public school...He did very well. In August 1886,  Pauline wrote to her mother; "Yesterday

Albert received his grades, he was again number one, his report card was brilliant.'...The infant who was

slow to speak...becomes number one at school (the widespread belief that he was a poor pupil becomes

unfounded)..."*

*The dispute about about Einstein's scholastics abilities as a young student appears to have been resolved

by the acquisition in 1984 of Einstein's academic records from Swiss archives. As reported in the New

York Times of February 14, 1984, the records 'confirm that Einstein was a child prodigy conversant in college

physics before he was 11 years old, a brilliant violin player who got high marks in Latin and Greek.' His one

problem area was French, which could have caused him to fail his college entrance examination.'"  

Al: "...I shall be back again with another story. Until then, goodnight."

We are finished with the king of the science gods and now we return to mere citizens, the rabble, if you will. The

Theory: Founding Daddios had a plan in which the president chosen by electors would focus on exercising his

fed powers to the ultimate - at least, attempt to do so. Representatives chosen directly by the people would be

most interested in the rights of the people and businesses. Finally, U.S. Senators would be indirectly chosen

by the people - the people would directly elect members of state legislators who in turn would chose the two

U.S. Senators from their state. They would be most interesting in protecting state rights from fed encroachment

and trying to get fed gov when exercising its powers to do so in the best interest of the states, especially, their

state. The Seventeenth Amendment which was approved by the requisite numbers of states in 1913 changed all

that. Superficially, it might seem a good idea. It too is part of the so-called Progressive Era (which included

sterilization - go one and two floors down). Now, a senator would vary from year to year, even issue to issue:

fed interests; state interests; citizen's interests. The balance desired by our Founders would be out of kilter. Do

you think that fed power would have expanded under Wilson, FDR, LBJ and BO if U.S.Senators were still obligated

 to state legislators. We have witnessed an unconstitutional expansion of fed power. Revoke Amendment

Seventeen! Why doesn't Mitt talk about big things like that. Newt talked big but not 17.

      Hey!-Where the moderate (?) conservatives guys who support the mid-middle class, the lower-middle class

and the working poor having to pay at least a scintilla of their fair share of fed income taxes - so that libs stop

treating them like children (three floors down for details)!

Plato: "As is my wont, I shall deliver the prologue." RD: "You have appeared more often than other producers. are

you sure that you don't understand the concepts of camera and live-on-tape!?!

                     "How can you prove whether at this moment, we are sleeping, and all are thoughts

                       are a dream; or, whether we are awake, and are talking to each other in the walking

                       state."                                                                                                                                       Plato

DR: "Like some Hindu's who ask if Brah created by Brahman is dreaming universe, other gods, humans, etc, or if

we are dreaming universe, etc. Or, the question: Did the gods create us or is the converse the case. Plato: "Holy

Pantheon, you're not getting the last word!" As Al is fond of saying 'goodnight." And, earlier Al was talking Greek. I

choose to end by saying: Now, we shall enter the arms of the Greek god Morpheus."*

**These smart people are suspected of having had A.D.D. And, Dustin Hoffman too - well maybe those with A.D.D.

rather not mention  an actor when talking about intelligent people with A.D.D.

RD: "As Colombo was fond of saying: 'Just one more thing.' Please read articles on pages 1, 2 & 3 as they contain

 important info; I personally guarantee it."

                   "Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge."

                                                                                                                                                                         Plato: Goodnight!

NOTES: New/Expanded Version by Richard DePersio and Citizen Journalist.

Notes: Is PBS biased? We are watching the series: "Unfinished Nation-Part 2" (2005).

 In the episode "The  Progressive Era" (about 1890 to about 1930) they don't mention

Social Darwinism and eugenics and the narrator actually states: "One social issue

that receives little attention by white progressives is race." Re: "The Return of Citizen

Journalist - Supplement: CJ Give B-O Friendly Advice (one floor floor down; long flight of stairs,

don't take elevator, the walk/exercise will do you good.).

In "Cultural Anthropology" Our Diverse World" (2009), they address illegal immigration (laugh:

undocumented immigrates) and don't mention that in liberal states, counties and cities

libs enable illegals to receive social services and their children public school educations.

Further, they go to emergency rooms for emergency and non-emergency care. All of this

at taxpayer expense (!!!) by instructing social and healthcare workers not to ask questions

about  legal status (illegal activity to aid and abet illegals). Border states are close to

 bankruptcy due to this inexcusable burden. Let's not forget the threat to 'Western Civilization -

American Culture Division' for their refusal to become part of the melting pot. Add to this the

 financial burden accrued by the large number incarcerated for crimes. It far outweighs any

possible benefit to the economy by their presence. Bigotry? No! Belief in law and anxiety over

national debt. Libs want to grant them amnesty. What possible good could they be to

American Society if step one is their flagrant violation of American Sovereignty. Oh what a

 terrible web we weave when at first we practice to deceive.

Re: A number of articles.

Concerning Photo 2: Sterilization continued in some places until 1970; mostly ended in the

'50s: disabled - mental and/or physical; criminals; blacks; Jews and Indians -- starting

with the largest group sterilized, declining as you move to the right. Of course, if Hillary

Clinton's, favorite person in history, Margaret Sanger, had her way, blacks would have become

extinct!!!

                                     The Return of Citizen Journalist

                               Supplement: 'Friendly' Advice from CJ to BO

                                by Richard DePersio and Citizen Journalist

 

Be Advised: Don't Use the following Term: Social Darwinism. It was

ill-advised for you to recently accuse Republicans in general and Representative

Paul Ryan in particular of Social Darwinism regarding their tax and budget

proposals. At least, they are leveling with Americans regarding the debt crisis

and have proposals to reduce spending, enhance tax revenue and save Medicare.

You want to come across as Mr. Nice Guy: There is no problem; America needn't

tighten its belt; spending on social programs can remain at an all time high; unions

need not make concessions. You don't even have a plan to deal with debt: Soon

you will have generated more debt than all you predecessors combined!!! The U.S.

Senate has a constitutional obligation: to pass a budget. The Dem-controlled Senate

hasn't passed a budget in three years - it just takes a simply majority of 51; budgetary

 bills can't be filibustered. The longer that we wait to confront debt, the more painful

it will be! Rome burned while Nero fiddled. Wake up and smell the Chinese! You want

to win the Mr. Popularity Contest at the expense of Americans. Do you really want to

remind Americans of Social Dawinism?

They were Progressives from the 1880s until circa 1950 when they became liberals

(not to be confused with classical liberalism embraced by our Founding Fathers)

and were proponents of Social Darwinism and Eugenics!!! It was a dark and

shameful chapter in U.S. History from about 1900 to 1970 when at least 60,000

Americans were sterilized!!! They opposed programs to help the poor: charitable and

gov until the '30s when many whites who became poor would benefit.

Social Darwinism: A sociological theory in which individuals or groups achieve

advantage over others as a result of genetic or biological superiority. Elite classes

(possessing wealth and power) possess superiority in the struggle for existence.

Americans of white Europeans descent are superior and should dictate to others.

The strong survive and prosper by acquiring economic, physical and technological

strength while others become extinct.Eugenics: Social movement to improve whites

via selective breeding and sterilization. At least 60,000 in 34 states (we will never know

 exact number) were sterilized: Mentally-impaired, physically-impaired, criminals, Indians,

 blacks and Jews in that order - all poor! Hitler and the Nazis were inspired by your

program and took it further. Your proud legacy!

Liberals like you shouldn't use the terms Social Darwinism and Eugenics which were

embraced by Progressives George Bernard Shaw, Margaret Sanger (founder, Planned

Parenthood; a few months ago, Hillary Clinton stated that she is the women in history that

she most admires). John Maynard Keynes (the economic hero of libs whose ideas failed

when implemented by FDR and BO), H.G. Wells (it's sad that he tarnished his outstanding

reputation; did he believe Martians superior to Earthlings!?!) and many others. Let's not

forget orgs like the National League of Women Voters.

Mr. President did you really think that you could slide this by your better: Citizen

Journalist? How dare you apply your disgrace to others!

                          A CJCS (Citizen Journalist/Cayuga Productions/Shamley Productions)

                                Director: Al Hitchcock/Director of Photography: Reggie Lanning

Al: "Lights, camera, action!" 

{Camera 1: Give the ham the close-up that he graves}

Richard D.: "It is always an honor and a pleasure to introduce Rodman Edward Serling."

{Audience roars and gives Rod a Standing 'O.' Camera 2: Shoot audience} 

{Rod approaches podium, fag (as the Brits say) in hand; Camera 3 on Rod}

Rod: "I shall quote from an episode of TZ that I didn't compose* with minor alterations and apply

 it to the guest-of-honor Citizen Journalist who is expected momentarily." (Rod whispers to Dago:

"Where the hell is he?). "As long as they talk about you, you're not really {gone}. As long as they

speak your name, you continue. A legend never {leaves us}, just because the man does." {Rod and

 Sherlock are engaged in intense discussion causing uneasiness amongst the assembled}.

Rod: "I shall now introduce the editorial board at CJCS Comsats seated at the dais. The

Cartwrights...Little Joe has a comment after having entered from stage door left on horseback

 which is his wont, "We would mount our horses usually succeeding in mounting quicker than

 pa. The three horses in the lead upsetting his and making his more difficult to manage. We got a kick

 out of it. We would go left around the side of the barn where the stage door was, which you couldn't

 see for the barn; exit and dismount. When on the range we connect with CJCS Comsats via FB

Second American Revolution - as do our ranch hands."

Rod: "George, John, Tom, Jim; The Mavericks; Topper, Marion, George; George and Gracie - we

Rod: "We now have a word from Number Six. Number Six: "I shall paraphrase something I once said

which is presently apropos to Citizen Journalist. I spoke with him yesterday and he

approved of this message: I will not make any deals with you...I will not be pushed, filed,

stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. my life is my own. {Don't force me to} resign."

Rod: "You might benefit from re-reading the last three articles. William Sherlock Scott Holmes and Dr.

John Hamish Watson who located our wayward friend  wish to comment. {To be here is}

 'Wonderful!' I {Dr. Watson} ejaculated. 'Commonplace, said Holmes. {'Citizen journalist'} says

 Watson. 'Wonderful' responds Holmes}. Rod: "I had hoped that you would have shed new light

 on the recent events regarding CJ." Mycroft: "This article shall contain a revelation heretofore which has

 failed to make an imprint on our brain cells. Look for it."

Rod: "Doyle and DePersio communicated across the Einstein/Rosen Bridge to create a one-of-a

kind masterpiece: "Citizen Journalist is Missing" at www.comsat-ak.blogspot.com Is there more?"

Sherlock: "Loose ends; always loose ends."

Rod: "We shall now proceed to Preface Two." {Camera 2 on Richard D., Dago Red and Topper}

RD: "I would like to quote our Brit friend Winston Churchill, 'If you have ten thousand regs, you

destroy all respect for law.'" DR: "Thus far, BO has created 20% more regs than Bush. Wait

until most of the Dodd/Frank Financial Reform and Obama-Care kicks in in 2014 - little of these

regs have been implemented yet -- BO timed for after election. Topper: "The longest running

crime drama was Hawaii 5-0 - 1968-80.  RD: The fed gov now completely or largely controls

over 20% of the economy, of course, banking is now largely controlled by Uncle Sam. Dodd/Frank

and Obama-Care will increase that to 37% - and we all know how well gov manages things that

it isn't constitutionally suppose to manage. And, 37% spells socialism (which is actually about

33%) and, we are well on our way to communism! Topper: "Desi Arnaz is largely responsible for

virtually all sitcoms in the 50s and since using the 3-camera method." RD: "I would now like to

quote our voluptuous Italian friend Sophia Loren, 'Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti.'" {Sherlock

whispers to Duke: "Where is Citizen Journalist? I found him. He is being honored tonight. By the Bye,

Have you ever seen Citizen Journalist and Richard DePersio together?"} RD: "Did you hear about

the school which seized the brought-from-home-lunch of a child and made him pay for the

cafeteria lunch because school felt that his lunch lacked nutrition. Most would say that his lunch was

superior to school's. Libs as parents. Before the first and biggest teacher's union formed in

early '60s, teachers thought that parent's were the bosses." Topper: "Prior to '66, CBS had no shows

in color because RCA owned NBC and RCA was biggest seller of color TVs; CBS didn't want to

help RCA sales. DR: "Utah wants its land back! Over two years ago, we stated that fed gov

owned between 3 and 70% of the states for federal parks and the land on which government facilities,

 such as, military installations are located. Utah just wants land that is presently serving no purpose -

 they want to be it to use. We stated that fed parks should become state parks; states should decide

which land can be used for development without fed approval. If fed parks become state parks, they

might want to turn some of it over for development. Fed gov shouldn't own states! How can this be

constitutional!?! One hundred years ago, fed gov promised to return some land. States are still waiting!

Rod: "Citizen Journalist is live on the monitor from an unknown location. No; old TV.Transmission is poor.

His face isn't clear. {Studio audience is shouting: "We want CJ, We want CJ, We want CJ...} Rod: "Calm

down. He will be with us soon. We must continue with article."

As is our wont, we start with cosmos followed by cosmos (which means world) and Offending with

Truth when circumstances warrant.

       Let's continue talking about asteroids. Jupiter and Saturn can gravitationally perturb them causing

them to leave the Asteroid Belt. There is a slim possibly of an asteroid being hurled in the direction

of the inner Solar System striking earth. Perturbations can cause asteroids to collide with pieces

going any which way with some going toward the inner Solar System. Again, the possibility of

colliding with earth unlikely - but possible! Slightly more likely is an asteroid or piece acquiring an

orbit and becoming a near-earth asteroid with a greater chance of one day striking our planet.

      Meteors are pieces of asteroids that fall to earth. The iron meteors (about 80% iron and 20%

nickel) come from the core of a larger asteroid (which broke up due to collisions) while stoney

asteroids come from the outer part of a larger asteroid or from a piece of a smaller asteroid or an

intact smaller asteroid. An asteroid or a piece of an asteroid with a diameter of .6 miles or greater

would cause a mass extinction.

      NASA upgrading with a grant of $4.1 million the Catalina Sky Survey based at the University of

Arizona in Tucson. The project searches the sky for new comets and near-earth asteroids. In 2011, CSS

discovered 586 near-earth asteroids - 65% of the total discovered.

Rod: "I have a major announcement: Citizen Journalist will appear again on the old TV. We

still expect him to appear in-person here later. There he is...We aren't receiving audio and the image is

poor...Here and quickly gone. We resume the article." Audience member: "Citizen Journalist's only

public appearances are during live articles." Rod: "We are doing a live article." AM: "He only appears

on a monitor during those live articles when RD isn't present and usually appears with Dago Red. We..."

Dago Red: "This constitutes a live article and not a forum. Please..." Audience member in the back

shouts: "Democracy. Free speech." Dago Red: "This is an article not an open discussion." AM: "We have

questions. We..." RD: "Take camera off of audience. Security, we shall not tolerate interruption and

 rudeness. You are hereby instructed to escort the guilty out." Rod: "Escort the guilty to Twilight Zone. I'll

deal with them there. Article resumes after bizarre comments from audience."

Let's return to our friend Adam Smith. You need not go back to the beginning of our series on AS. Although,

you might if you want to get more out of it. Genesis is easy to locate a few articles back - the section that

follows the section which begins with: "As is our wont..." You will find the genesis of Adam, if you will.

      Before advertising as we know it, Adam suggested increasing sales by increasing productivity. Increase

the output of the workforce: Improve the division of labor...Just a reminder: Older articles are completely

or largely not time-dependent: can't get out-of-date - we swear to NASA. Do read as we worked hard

on them and do move on to page two and three at web sites...The growing wealth (or production) of a nation,

"One man draws out the wire, another straits it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for

receiving the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on is a

peculiar business; to whiten it another; it is even a trade in itself to put them into paper...I have seen a

small manufactory of this kind where ten men only were employed and where  some of them

consequently performed two or three distinct operations. But though they were poor, and therefore but

indifferently accommodated with the necessary machinery, they could when they exerted themselves

make among them about twelve pounds of pins in a day. There are in a pound upwards of four

thousand pins of middling size. These ten persons, therefore, could make among them upward of

forty-eight thousand pins in a day...But if they had all wrought separately and independently ...they could

certainly not each of them make twenty. perhaps not one pin in a day."

      Of course, in Adam's day, there weren't large factories. It illustrates the blessings of the factory (small and

large) system of the Industrial Revolution over the small shop. Further, unions were largely illegal. Hooray! Those

were the days.

       How does one enhance division of labor? Machinery is the key. When the tasks of production can be taken

over or assisted by machines. The market system becomes an immense force for the accumulation of

capital, mainly in the form of machinery and equipment. The market as its own regulator. Business expands,

needs more workers. Would wages increase to the point of eating up profits. Wages would increase as

employers competed for workers but only moderately. As wages rose and better food was provided for the

household, infant and child mortality would decline. The larger workforce would hold back a dangerous

increase in wages. Also improved machines would curb too much of a demand for more labor. The Invisible

Hand at work.

     Just a word about John Maynard Keynes. Mr. Keynes (naturally, we aren't on a first name basis with this hero

of libs) asserted that gov spending might be an essential economic policy for a depressed capitalism

trying to recover its vitality. Mr. Keynes failed when FDR employed it and failed again with BO.

Subsidies are bad. Governments should not be in the business of attempting to provide incentives to people to do

things that would not otherwise make sense. Libs maintain that solar and wind need to be subsidized for a few

years in order to jump start these industries and to make them eventually attractive to investment bankers. Fed gov has

been subsidizing them since Jimmy Carter!!!

Global warming is caused by an increase in the energy output of the sun. The Sun Spot Cycle: Maximum to minimum to

maximum. There is about an eleven year period between maximums (year of largest number of spots). Between

1645 and 1715, there were years of no spots and years of few spots. Europe cooled. Winters were severe. Rivers and

lakes froze over - they haven't done so since. Between 1000 and 1200, solar activity was very high: Years of an

extremely large number of spots and years of a moderate number with no minimum years. There were even many active

settlements in Greenland. After 1200, there have been from communities. It returned to being largely covered by ice.

There were no cars and factories in those days!!!

Congress only has seventeen powers called enumerated powers. It had no reason to use inflation as a vehicle to fund

its programs. The meant that the dollar was more or less steady in value most years between our founding and FDR.

We began the process of devaluing the dollar in order to finance unconstitutional programs. Since Republicans

regained control of the House bills must have an attachment justifying it on constitutional grounds. The Senate has

yet to follow suit - do you think that lib-controlled Senate ever will!?!

Vincenzo Galilei (you know whose father) was a musical theorist, lutenist, composer, singer, teacher and author.

Pythagoras, amongst other things, discovered (are we A.D.D.-ing?) the musical harmonies that for the next few

thousand years, western composes based their scores on the Pythagorean harmonies. Enter Vincento. He wrote a

book critical of the status quo. He was one of the major revolutionary musical figures that set west on a new path

leading to Barque music and, eventually, today's classical music with more than a passing influence on music in general.

 In particular, he had a largely modern conception of dissonance.

Bring back Amendment Ten in the Bill of Rights. Any power not explicitly given fed gov should be considered a state

or people power.

Fwd: ADDENDUM (Original Proposal):

-----Original Message-----
From: b <rrdd3939@aol.com>

Subject: ADDENDUM (Original Proposal):

(English Language Purists might have a problem with this construction; shall we stand in the

corner; nay, we like it).
(Consider this an) ADDENDUM (to post below): We would like to reiterate an original proposal that

we made over a year and a half ago in one of our "Action Chain Letters" (those who have been with

us for a long time will remember those; what we requested of you regarding them is applicable to

the posts at all of our web sites - you can connect via Facebook: Second American Revolution - please

email our posts to family members, co-workers, friends and enemies { posts being credited to us

 retained} or recommend our sites. Like fine wine, they get better with age. Most posts are completely

or largely not time-sensitive)...A.D.D. Attack: where were we?...Oh, yes. Reiterating an original proposal.

First, we will set the stage. Over the past few decades, nations have taken themselves off of the gold

standard. So what determines the value of a nation's currency? One: How much value others are

willing to place in it. Two: Indirectly, the amount of gold or other precious metal the nation has. It

also indirectly determines a nation's interest rates and how much of a dividend nation pays on the

bonds that it issues.

We must stop kidding ourselves: We have to cut spending by at least $7 trillion over the next ten years -

in real terms not creative bookkeeping! We should lower all of the tax brackets while we eliminate

deductions and loopholes. Tax simplification: Americans should be able to fill out their own tax

forms and save money on a CPA. Nearly all Americans should pay fed incomes taxes unlike present

situation (see article proper below). The rich will pay less in taxes percentage-wise but more in

taxes dollar-wise. They won't mind for they will be making a helluva lot more (greed is good; see

article proper) due to the lowering of rates and the spending cuts (private sector will take up the

slack). This would generate about $1.5 trillion in additional revenue if top rate cut to 28%.

We've finally arrived...We always take the long way getting there. Technically, our gold is not at Fort

Knox. It is at the Nation Gold Bullion Depository surrounded by Fort Knox, It is under the

jurisdiction of the Department of the Treasury not the Department of Defense. Although, Treasury

Agents conducts rehearsals protecting the gold solo, as well as, jointly with the Fort. Only the

Federal Reserve Bank's Depository in Manhattan, New York has more (a semi-independent and

we think, therefore, unconstitutional entity). Let's return to the National Depository. Germany is in

a distant second as far as amount of gold, as a matter of fact, we have far more gold than Germany,

China, japan, Russia and Saudi Arabia combined!

We are finally at proposal-time.You didn't think that this time would arrive; admit it. We should

 increase our gold by $150 billion over ten years. Announce our plans to the world and likely avoid

another down-grade if our bonds (we have to pay a larger dividend to China, for example which

purchases our bonds; we can't afford another downgrade). This would be preferable to cutting

spending by more than $7 trillion. It would demonstrate more substance - indirectly - behind our dollar.

 We contend that this would be preferable to cutting spending by $8 to 8.5 trillion over the next ten

years. The action would pack a punch, Albeit, largely symbolic - but strategic and powerful.

We should have a three-prong approach: cutting spending; reducing rates; increasing gold. Of

course, conspiracy theorists don't believe that there is gold there - that's a funny story; even if true, no

harm so long as secret is kept. We agree: Audit the fed but not Treasury. We don't buy into

conspiracy but let's be on the save side even if only one chance in a million of being true. It doesn't

 effect our sound proposal.

Time is running out: we must get serious about the national debt. Libs are preventing us from

achieving our goals. Communism fell, socialism is collapsing - we must save capitalism not

Bush/Obama crony capitalism; Obama more guilty by unconstitutionally playing a bankruptcy judge

to spare union bosses any pain and engaging in other questionable, perhaps, unconstitutional

actions. We MUST eliminate our $15 trillion debt by 2035 or sooner; or, reduce it to $3.5 trillion

by 2030 and freeze it.

We've been accused of extra-long prefaces. We suppose that now, we will be accused of having

Addendums nearly as long as the article proper!

GOLD is good!!!

We have been talking about Smith's Invisible Hand...Yes, we have. We wouldn't lie to you about a thing

like that...Marion, why are you moving away from me? Do you still think that we have an Invisible Hand?

If that were the case, it wouldn't be an economic hand...(You might want to check out 'Hand Sections' -

one and two floors down).

      Let's wrap up our hand job for we might not be returning to the Internet with our glorious prose.

Our we going on an A.D.D. trip - it isn't time for an A.D.D. break....Invisible Hand: You are greedy but

market forces will compel you to offer products and services at a competitive price and not at the

extravagant sum that would be your preference. Invisible Hand: Forces you to produce products that

people want and in the quantities that they want. Society wins out.

     Understanding Macroeconomics "(Invisible Hand): {Smith} also showed that it was self-regulating.

The beautiful consequence of the market is that it is its own guardian. If anyone's prices, wages,

profits stray from levels that are set for everyone, the force of competition will drive them back. Thus a

curious paradox exists. The market, which is the acme of economic freedom, turns out to be the

strictest of economic taskmasters.

     Smith is vehemently opposed to gov involvement in the economy which he considers a self-regulator.

Gov shouldn't interfere with self-interest (see below as to why greedy is good) and competition. President

B.O.'s efforts to transform U.S.A. into socialist-capitalist nation even more so than LBJ, FDR and

Wilson is the antithesis.

     A market system left entirely to its own devices will grow, the wealth of a nation under 'National Liberty'

would steadily grow. What brings about this growth: the drive for self-betterment, the thirst for profits, the

wish to make money. The employers desire to make a bigger profit (greed) will enable him to invest

more in people and machinery - people hired, profits made by seller of machines --unintended

consequences of good ol' American greed.

     The thousands of new regulations coming down the pike as a consequence of obama-care and

todd-frank (lower-case letters intentional) will inhibit market forces - it constitutes an economy

micro-managed from the top -- more and more, we smell a rat, a rat called communism.

RD: "By our reckoning, B.O. has violated U.S. Constitutional 17 times (See: "A Bad Case of Treason).

He taught constitution in college? It must have been the progressive/secular 'living' constitution and

not the real one. He's a constitutional criminal who belongs behind bars. {Audience member yells:

"Belongs in a cage!"}

There are those who are truly disabled and deserve help but aren't getting it from gov social programs

which need to be overhauled. Faith-based and secular programs do a better job; they represent a 'hand

up,' as opposed to a hand-out. Lib gov programs have failed; libs think that throwing good money after

bad will fix these monstrosities. They are called: bleeding heart liberals. Baloney! It has nothing to do with

compassion and everything to do with politics. They want to get as many people in these programs

as possible, keep them in the programs and give them more than they require - for most vote dem and

have been sapped of pride while libs feel good about themselves at their expense.

       SHOCKING!!! Over 50% of Americans receive some form of gov assistance!; 49% don't pay fed

income tax or receive a modest to a large refund!; only 60% of eligible voters are registered! This

constitutes a national disgrace and represents what libs have done to us. (In 1960s, only 10% didn't

pay tax. The super-rich, the rich and the upper-middle class pay more than their fare share - 1%

wealthiest pay 38% of FIT (they should throw a fit!); top 10%, over 60%. Their taxes should be cut so

that they can get richer - greed is good. The will save and spend more - good for the economy; they

will invest more in stocks/bonds, thereby, creating jobs and increasing R & D. The consequences of

self-interest.

      If you don't vote and don't FIT - SHUT UP!!! You have no right to complain about gov or state of the

union - unless you are TRULY disabled and getting only what you need. If you do one of the two, you

can speak up - not too often and not to loudly.

      You are damn wards of the state. No wonder libs look down on you and think that you need BIG

GOV - mommy/daddy  to tell you what to think and how to behave. Your parasites! The working poor

should have to pay at least $150 a year; lower middle class, $500; mid-middle class, $1500. Feel

pride; complain at the top of your lungs; tell libs that you can think for yourself - and since your paying

for gov, you demand changes!
