The U.S. Government and other governments around the world manufacture terrorism in order to instill fear in its citizens which results in mass surveillance and actual acts of terrorism. Think of it this way: Your neighbor bombs your house for no reason or to get one person out of a large family. What is the first instinctive feeling that comes over you? Fear. What is the next? Anger! That leads to revenge! So, you plot to do something as damaging or worse to get even with your neighbor, don’t you? The U.S. Government has become masters of manipulation when it comes to our feelings, and they want us to fear instead of fight (“fight or flight” reaction). The federal government and all of its crazy agencies have consistently violated our Constitutional rights while stripping them away along with what is left of the Bill of Rights. They have shown a remarkable ability to bring out mass distrust as a result of their actions. For every action there is a reaction. What will your reaction be? Will you let that neighbor instill fear in you, and huddle in seclusion while they continue to bully you and make you fear them because they have the power to do so? Or will you rise up, and let them know that you rightfully distrust them, and in the process, strip them of the power hungriness that they thrive off of? Our government has made us gullible, naive, ignorant, fearful, complacent and short-sighted for a reason, and that reason is to control us while they suck up all the greed and power control like the imperialist, tyrannical nation that we allowed our government to let us become as a whole. Other nations are not so much fearful of us anymore, however they are angry at us for our actions. It is only a matter of time before they react, and I do not think the average American, Democratic or Republican, wants another nation or rogue terrorist organization attacking us on our soil. Let us be smarter than the government that created these problems for us, and work together in a bi-partisan effort to rid corporate-run government of the historical and colossal amount of corruption due to GREED and POWER, the two most evil words on the face of the earth, that we allowed our government to become overrun with! Thank you! – John Loeffler, Fountain City, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Where I Live

The Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River in the Mississippi River Valley on the border with Minnesota looking due south towards my hometown of La Crosse, WI. There’s a narrow stretch here where the river splits in two, but it opens up wide to the north and south of Fountain City. There are a lot of backwaters in the area where you can have privacy, go camping, swimming, fishing, water skiiing and more! I’ve lived in the valley all but four years of my life, and I love it!

Hey, Wasn’t This Us? (A Reminiscing Poem)

A little house with two bedrooms,
One bathroom and one car on the street.
A mower that you had to push
To make the grass look neat.

In the kitchen on the wall
We only had one phone,
And no need for recording things,
Someone was always home.

We only had a living room
Where we would congregate,
Unless it was at mealtime
In the kitchen where we ate.

We had no need for family rooms
Or extra rooms to dine.
When meeting as a family
Those two rooms would work out fine.

We only had one TV set
And channels maybe two,
But always there was one of them
With something worth the view.

For snacks we had potato chips
That tasted like a chip.
And if you wanted flavor
There was Lipton‘s onion dip.

Store-bought snacks were rare because
My mother liked to cook
And nothing can compare to snacks
In Betty Crocker‘s book.

Weekends were for family trips
Or staying home to play.
We all did things together —
Even go to church to pray.

When we did our weekend trips
Depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because
We liked to be together.

Sometimes we would separate
To do things on our own,
But we knew where the others were
Without our own cell phone.

Then there were the movies
With your favorite movie star,
And nothing can compare
To watching movies in your car.

Then there were the picnics
At the peak of summer season,
Pack a lunch and find some trees
And never need a reason.

Get a baseball game together
With all the friends you know,
Have real action playing ball —
And no game video.

Remember when the doctor
Used to be the family friend,
And didn’t need insurance
Or a lawyer to defend?

The way that he took care of you
Or what he had to do,
Because he took an oath and strived
To do the best for you.

Remember going to the store
And shopping casually,
And when you went to pay for it
You used your own money?

Nothing that you had to swipe
Or punch in some amount,
And remember when the cashier person
Had to really count?

The milkman used to go
From door to door,
And it was just a few cents more
Than going to the store.

There was a time when mailed letters
Came right to your door,
Without a lot of junk mail ads
Sent out by every store.

The mailman knew each house by name
And knew where it was sent;
There were not loads of mail addressed

To “present occupant.”
There was a time when just one glance
Was all that it would take,
And you would know the kind of car,
the model and the make.

They didn’t look like turtles
trying to squeeze out every mile;
they were streamlined, white walls, fins
and really had some style.

One time the music that you played
whenever you would jive,
was from a vinyl, big-holed record
called a forty-five.

The record player had a post
to keep them all in line
and then the records would drop down
and play one at a time.

Oh sure, we had our problems then,
just like we do today
and always we were striving,
trying for a better way.

Oh, the simple life we lived
still seems like so much fun,
how can you explain a game,
just kick the can and run?

And why would boys put baseball cards
between bicycle spokes
and for a nickel, red machines
had little bottled Cokes?

This life seemed so much easier
and slower in some ways.
I love the new technology
but I sure do miss those days.

So time moves on and so do we
and nothing stays the same,
but I sure love to reminisce
and walk down memory lane.
With all today’s technology
we grant that it’s a plus!
But it’s fun to look way back and say,
Hey Look, guys, THAT WAS US!

Our world is filled with too much hatred, racism and prejudice!  Gay, straight, white, black – none of this should be a barrier any longer!  Our world would be a much better place if we all accepted each other for who we are as individuals instead of basing likes and dislikes on the color of one’s skin, or what a person chooses to do in the privacy of his/her own home!

We have come a long way in a short time on basic human rights issues like women’s rights, but there is still much work to be done to create a society in our world where we can all get along, and at least agree to disagree in order to form a more perfect union!  : )

OBAMA SIGNS “MONSANTO PROTECTION ACT” INTO LAW!

I regret to inform you that late Tuesday night, March 26, 2013, President Barack Obama, signed bill H.R. 933 into law which had the biotech rider known as the “Monsanto Protection Act” in it.  Now, the citizens of the United States have NO protection from the evils of Monsanto’s poisonous GM seeds!

(In 2007) Obama Promises to Label GMOs:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqaaB6NE1TI&list=PLswFQy8PadF8VupmNAy5Gr2l7MvYAGtU8&index=5

Our highest elected official not only ignored the will of over 90% of Americans, but he systemically and systematically continued to strip away the rights afforded to citizens under the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights!  Obama just handed Monsanto a very early Christmas present by allowing them to completely overstep our federal courts, and continue to plant their toxic seeds.  Now, nothing stands in the way of Monsanto’s goal of global monopolization of the food supply!  There could not have been a worse outcome for the U.S. at a time of extreme idealism and rampant corruption never seen in the history of the world!  Hundreds of thousands of phone calls to the president on Monday, March 25, 2013 appeared to do nothing to convince Obama to at least strike Section 735 containing the “Monsanto Protection Act” from H.R. 933 by sending it back to congress for removal.

By the way, H.R. 933 is a defense SPENDING bill of almost $1 trillion for fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 during a time of Sequestration!  Don’t worry though, because President Obama will take more from the middle class and poor to pay for an already over-bloated defense budget!  This will just make even more Americans dependent on the U.S. Government, and that is exactly what happens during a switch to socialism in a plutocracy not a democracy.  Soon enough, the rights of the American people will be more eroded than a communist nation as the New World Order comes to power!

It is time to let your president know that what he signed into law is completely unacceptable, immoral and unethical!  Do you want to eat genetically modified food that is slowly killing you?  That’s exactly what it is doing!  Our government likes to think of it as population control.  Do you want your kids and your grandkids eating toxins that will bring about a slow and painful death?  Call or write President Obama today to let him know that he needs to listen to the will of the citizens of the United States of America, and he must stop acting upon corporate interests and greed over a country on the verge of total economic collapse!

Take action here:

Proof: Monsanto and U.S. Government Revolving Door!

Our entire government has been corrupted with the evils of Monsanto which is a corporation that wants nothing more than to control the entire world’s food supply.  Luckily, most of the world has wised up, and over 50 countries now ban or severely restrict Monsanto’s monstrous grip on our food that is grown with poison directly inside of it! Unfortunately for the U.S. and Canada, they are firmly gripped by Monsanto’s tenacious tentacles!  Money talks big time in America!

Even our own congress has accepted millions of dollars from Monsanto!  How else can you explain secret biotech riders slipped into other government spending, like defense spending, that easily passes through both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate?  Our elected legislators made it crystal clear that they side with large corporations and mega-banks, and so has our president.  After all, President Obama was the one who appointed Michael “Monsanto” Taylor to lead the FDA back in 2010 which was three years after then-Senator Barack Obama promised to get GMOs labeled!

How can the U.S. fight back against Monsanto’s toxic GMOs that are slowly poisoning everyone to death when our leaders that we placed into power accept fistfuls of cash from Monsanto’s lobbyists?  How can we take back our food supply when Monsanto ships its workers directly over and into the U.S. government?  Take a look at no less than 13 current and former Monsanto employees who work for our government!  Click on their names, and notice how many times the word “lobbyist” pops up:

Now if excessive greed does not bother you, then you may want to rethink your conscience!

Let congress and the president know that it is time for Monsanto to go!

Are you wondering why the elitists who run the U.S. and the rest of the world get away with what is tantamount to outright theft, fraud and genocide?  Oligarchs rule our corporations which in turn control our entire government!  The elite of the elite are running America into a brick wall, and they do not care as long as they continue to rake in massive amounts of money!  Once greed starts it just feeds itself, thus creating a vicious cycle of greed and power-hungriness that is sucking the life out of our country and other countries across the world.

Here is a link to an excellent read from Truthout.org on the extreme wealth inequality that exists in the U.S., and a wake-up call to action before the demise of a once great nation:
