Whats 3% matter considering the good that will be done.?

The climate in America has become stagnant in that there’s been a decrease in our actual culture. Education has been watered down dumbed. Americans have become soft-ists to the point of a complacency. Industry in only a shadow of what it once was. Jobs are being shipped over seas at even increasing rates. The majority of jobs available fall into either the technical sales or service industries. In a way economically speaking its like selling air there’s no true value as you would have in a industrial economy.

The idea is to invest in the people. Obama is asking the elite wealthy of the country who has been so good to them to contribute just a bit more 3% not as a punishment but a patriotic act. Obama proposals or plan is to invest in the people by redistributing a small portion of wealth to the youth the future of America. Investing in education, infrastructure, science and technology. Investing in small business creation leveling the playing field. Simply making small farmers capable of competing in the food markets. Obama’s plan will create a whole new renaissance in America

To create a new era of enlightenment as such is a renaissance you must start with the youth. By improving the elementary level of education and making it available to ALL Americans will flood our universities thus creating the era of knowledge and arts. Arts in an area severely diminished in our currant nationalism seen in political polls on where we are headed as a country. Our currant education system is an embarrassment when compared to other developed countries. Music has seen a huge decline. When I was a kid it was a popular idea to grow up to be a scientist. You just don’t hear that from kids today. We need to excite the young in these areas.

I had observed many striking similarities between FDR and Barak Obama. Obama’s plan most resembles to me the New Deal of Roosevelt. Roosevelt saw in the international bankers and cooperation’s the inherit evil, the greed and corruption that caused the Great Depression. Occasional capitalism needs to be tempered with some beneficial social policies. This I feel is one of these times.
Roosevelt spoke:

“Throughout the nation men and women, forgotten in the political philosophy of the Government, look to us here for guidance and for more equitable opportunity to share in the distribution of national wealth… I pledge you, I pledge myself to a new deal for the American people… This is more than a political campaign. It is a call to arms”

Today:
LONG BEACH, California (Reuters) – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that failing public schools pose her greatest national security concern, one she warned could undermine the United States’ ability to lead and to compete in a global economy.

Equal access to educational opportunities, she said, also lies at the heart of one of the nation’s most important core values — the belief in the United States as a true meritocracy.

Rice, a Stanford University professor before joining the Bush administration, spoke at a conference of women organized by former TV journalist Maria Shriver, the wife of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As an educator, Rice said it broke her heart to see “kids who might be the next Nobel Prize winner … trapped in some public school that’s just basically warehousing them.”

“But as a secretary of state, it makes me terrified because … if we cannot do better in educating all of our people, then we are not going to be competitive in a global economy,” she said. “We’re going to become protectionist, we’re going to turn inward, the United States is not going to lead.”

Moreover, she said, the lack of quality education for all children jeopardizes the fundamental American belief that every citizen has the opportunity for success, no matter their background or place of origin.

“If we can’t keep that true for every American, we’re going to lose who we are, and then we won’t lead, and so it is for me the most pressing national security issue,” she said.

Rice offered little in the way of concrete solutions for addressing inequities in public schools — suggesting part of the answer lies in “the best practices” adopted by schools that succeed and “having high standards
You all have valid points. I know throwing money at something isn’t the answer but we do need to start somewhere.

Do you think the Federal Reserve leads to bankrupt nations..is the US going on its way to bankruptcy?

Do you believe we are in deep financial trouble that we won’t be able to get out of?

Do you agree with these writings & statements?

The Federal Reserve – Fractional Banking System – always leads to bankrupt nations

All countries in world have a Federal Reserve, like U.S, All these Federal Reserve are controlled by same 13 families.-

Federal-Reserve-Money-Creation < – Video – quick overview of how Fed. Res. collapses nations.

Federal Reserve is private banks control over Americans.

International bankers, with money & control, work together to increase their wealth & power, stripping citizens, governments of capital, property, rights, liberties. In history, it seems our governments have increased human rights, but, in fact, this cabal of intl. bankers has increased their financial strangle hold on citizens, business, governments worldwide.

In 1913, the Intl. Banker prompted & passed the Banking Act. The US Constitution requires that our government print money, interest free, and set interest rates. But instead, the Banking Act lets the Federal Reserve, a group of private, foreign banks, issue Fed. Res. debt notes (currency) and set interest rates.

Emergences (pretended) of war, famine, etc. make our U.S. government borrow more and more, increasing our U.S. debt (with interest) to them. Fed. Res. is unconstitutional. The 16th amendment to US Constitution makes American citizens subject to pay back these loans through their personal income tax.

The more U.S. government borrows money (wars & emergencies), debt & interest increases, our money is depreciated, inflation rages. Huge debts for our children !

Fed. Res. raises and lowers banks interest rates to increase their Fed. Res. profits. Fed. Res. continue to concentrate their power and control. In all areas, banking, food, health, … there is rapid change where those in power are increasing their power.

The stated advantage is the Fed. Reserve is working to protect citizens, business, but they’re really just increasing the power, wealth, control of the controlling elites, the bankers, over the rights of citizens worldwide – increasing power of the few over many.

In America, we once had 1,000s of newspaper owners. Now just 9 corporations control our mainstream; news,TV, books, movies.

In all things; banking, food, health, the world moves towards greater concentration of power & control, the few over the man, with less & less individual freedom !

Fractional Banking How it works to advantage of bankers, theft of individuals

Thanks for help.

Do you think the Knights Templar were evil as King Philip of France made them out to be?

I’m sure some where as there is at least one “bad apple” in every society and cult. But about all of them? Also, what happened to the ones who allegedly escaped? Bellow are a few facts about them:

The official name of the Knights Templar’s was the “Order of the Poor Knights of Christ”, formed in Jerusalem in 1118 to protect the pilgrims visiting Palestine at the end of the First Crusade of 1096. The full, original name was “The Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple which is in Jerusalem”, making it understandable why a short title became popular.

Creation of the Templar’s

The order of the Knights Templar’s was created a few years after the Knights Hospitalers, in roughly the same place and for similar reasons. The Templar’s rose to higher glory and power, ended in a more spectacular fashion, and their remains were passed on to the Hospitalers.

The Templar’s were called the Knights of the Red Cross, with their symbol of a red cross on a white field. In 1128, when the Order was confirmed by Pope Honorius II, the Knights received the white vestment as a symbol of the purity of their life. In 1146 Pope Eugenius added “the red cross with two bars”, so the many illustrations we see of the double-barred cross are no doubt appropriate.

Although similar to the goals of the Hospitalers, French knights Godfrey de Saint Omer and Huguens des Payens (Hugh) created the Knights Templar’s specifically as a military order, with no pretensions of charity or aid to the sick. When the papal sanction for the order was given, at the Council of Troyes in 1128, Spartan rules were established similar to those of the Cistercian Monks.

The hierarchy of the order was the grand master, knights, chaplains and sergeants. Only the knights wore the white cloaks with the red cross.

Knights Templar’s Warriors

The Templar’s gained a reputation as great warriors in battles defending the Holy Land. But Jerusalem fell to the Muslims in 1187, and the Templar’s retreated, first to Antioch, then to Acre (the port city of Akko). The Knights Templar’s were based in Acre for a century: in 1291, Acre fell to the Muslims, with Grand Master William de Beaujue dying in the battle. The surviving Templars were the last to leave, departing to Caesarea, and then to Cyprus.

In Cyprus, the Templar’s were based at Limmasol, but their headquarters were established in the Temple Monastery in Paris.

Knights Templar’s as Bankers

Members joining the Knights Templar’s took oaths of poverty, and donated all their cash, valuables and property to the Order. Between these extensive “gifts”, treasures from battles, and the the massive grants from the Pope, the Templar’s amassed a true fortune.

The Templar’s quite naturally developed an extensive banking system as a result of transporting money and treasures between Palestine and Europe, and from lending money to Spanish pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.
The Templar’s’ Downfall

The enormous wealth and power of the Knights Templar’s aroused both greed and envy. With their huge reserves of cash and their banking system, France’s King Philip the Fair had gone to the Templar’s for loans to finance his wars. Beyond has read different accounts, some where the Templar’s refused Philip IV’s request for money, and some where the King wanted to avoid repaying the loans he already had from them.

Friday the 13th

On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templar’s — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templar’s suffered excruciating tortures intended to force “confessions,” and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake. The Templar’s were charged with Satanism and many other “unnatural” acts and practices. Many of the charges may have been complete fabrications, but some could have been distortions of secret rites of the Templar’s. There were torture-encouraged confessions in the style of the Spanish Inquisition, and many were found guilty for refusing to “confess”. Many of the Templar’s in France were terminally punished, á la Joan of Arc, including the Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, who was burnt at the stake in 1314, near Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral. Friday the 13th” has been an unlucky day since that event.

Is it time to rid ourselves of the whole system of “monetary” wealth?

While the creation of monetary wealth was a good idea a very long time ago…before advanced technology…computers… and the wealth of common knowledge, Money as it is today has become of more importance than the beings that created it. In no religious book is Money or any form of it worshiped or given any importance. But yet, a person unknown to millions…can win millions after playing the lottery and be a star! The focus in Government as we speak is all about “not spending”. Can’t afford to fix roads or keep parks open or have band in high school. We can do anything if we take money out of the equation.
Is there another way, another system we can implement, with all we know and have that could really determine a persons wealth?
