I happen to believe that today’s protests along with ones conducted in the past are only a means to further identify dissenters among the ranks. Long ago when Steve Santelli rang his words across MSM’s CNBC that the people aught to protest like those at the Boston Tea Party I was just as gung ho as the rest of them. The housing crisis had taken its toll. The economy was in the tank. Our loved ones were upside down in their mortgages, our friends were having to declare bankruptcy and/or foreclose on their homes. People were losing their jobs, having to apply for assistance, and the future looked dim. It was easy back then to recognize that the housing bubble was created and abetted by the Government. Fannie and Freddi Mac reaked of corruption and it was inevitable that the US was going to take a large hit. Then there were the Bank Bail Outs and the Auto Industry Bailouts and it seemed that the entire lot of the Elite, who were by no means going to be poor, applied the turniquet to the American people and “we” the little guys got taxed to the hilt. So, yeah I identified briefly with the angst and clamor of the Tea Party folk. But just as quickly as I had jumped on that bandwagon I quickly jumped off (and it was just at the beginning of it’s movement). I recognized there was an insidious plot to keep the American people on a continual ferris wheel of protests and rallies and calling their congressmen and senators which in the end would amount to nothing save the TON of DATA the people were providing of their own free will to the very government that is oppressing them (us). I quickly wrote several posts pleading with Christians to not follow the calls of Glenn Beck who was basically yoking himself with any and all religions and using “Save Americana” as his catch all. No one listened back then to my pleas. Since those early days more and more Christians have fallen for the lie that there are “Chrisitan” leaders in Washington who are only there for benevolent reasons and want to save America. That is a bold face LIE. The system is not RED vs. BLUE, it’s not Republican vs. Democrat, it’s not poor people represented by their congressman vs the established Elite, it’s all one big fat conglomerate of compromise and dirty double minded people who have no conscious. There’s just as many corrupt and seedy “Conservative” “Christian” groups as there are liberal left wing nut lobbists. So, to take your place among the cardboard weilding brainwashed delusional “Patriots” is only going to hand deliver your idenity and information to the Government who seeks to oppress you.
By attending these rallies you must know that DHS, FBI, and other “Intelligence” communities attend these events (in plain clothes with their own anti-IRS posterboards) and take full stock and inventory of who you are.
You think we have troubles now over the IRS’s “investigation” into Tea Party groups and individuals? Oh no, the real trouble starts when the IRS via Obama’s administration (or maybe the next administration) decides to revoke 501 (c) status entirely to any and all religious organizations who express anti-government policy. Think about it, that’s all the Religious Right has been doing since Obama started. What better reason to elminiate that “right” that Churches and Conservative religious political parties indulge in, then to say, “Hey- You, “Chrisitan,” live by the scripture and be set apart from this, obey your authorities, follow the law of the land, Church and State are separate so you can’t enjoy your tax free exemption any longer.” Then where will all these people be? Yeah. That’s what I thought.
The two men who were considered suspects, whose photo was released by CNN and New York Post, were refuted this morning by Drudge Report: “I didn’t Do it” read the headline, the link was to the story below.
This poor kid was being accused of Domestic Terrorism (that’s what I’m calling it even though no official word from Obama’s White House or FBI has even called it that) and turned himself in to authorities to prove he was not a bomber he is a runner who was there to watch the race! Apparently the huge lobby from the Neo-cons to predetermine every heinous act of violence done on American soil must be done by Al Qaeda has been successful. The brainwashed religious right was right there to jump to the conclusion that the Boston Bombings were committed by Islamic Terrorists. This sickens me, especially in light of all the readily available information and the fact that other activities within the US point to a Domestic Terror act, but I’m getting ahead of myself here, and I already wrote my theory here.
After the MSM spent the better half of the morning back tracking on these two men they no sooner turned their glazed eyes over to Barack Obama in Boston for the “LIvE” feed of him at an Interfaith service for the Boston Marathon Victims.
I had the misfortune of watching it live and had to hear the Potus quote scripture. The man is in direct opposition to God’s word so it does bother me just a smidge when he quotes from it. As one fellow tweeter put it, “When Obama quotes the bible it’s sacrilege.” He sounded like he was campaigning, or in the least stumping and that’s just low even for Obama it’s low. We runners run for reasons not political and we don’t need Potus giving pep talks and giving us new running slogans. Moving on…
Next up, while everyone was distracted with Obama’s “Spirit” rally there was a vote in the House on a gun measure, Barrasso #717 (privacy) amendment to S.649 (AKA Reid’s Gun Control bill), it is related to the Gun Bill that was voted on yesterday. Much of the gnarly parts of the bill were shot down yesterday, seven out of nine amendments were voted on yesterday, two remained today to be voted on. #717 had to do with keeping gun owners privacy and it was voted in favor, so it was good it passed. I haven’t checked back on the last piece that needed a vote.
“WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), successfully included an amendment to (S. 649) that protects law abiding gun owners across the nation from having their private gun ownership information released to the public. The amendment passed the Senate by a vote of 67 to 30.
Barrasso’s amendment # 717 specifically withholds 5-percent of Community Oriented Policing Services program funding if a state or local government publicly releases information on individuals that have licenses to purchase, possess, or carry firearms. The withheld money will be redistributed to compliant states. The amendment also has a criminal investigation and court proceedings exception.” yeah finally some good news. Source Here.
Wait more bad news! #CISPA passed today also. This CISPA, or H.R. 624, was presented by a Republican and a Democrat. It passed; however, it is not a favored piece of legislation by the LEFT. Weird I know. This same piece of legislation has had a make-over and it is a sort of triple cross. The original CISPA was opposed by Ron Paul at one time. Where is that guy by the way? Today’s CISPA was rewritten by a bi-partisan group and was passed even though Barack Obama threatened to Veto it if it passed. But why would he VETO it if he already passed an Executive Order Cyber security Lawthat never went to the house? Wouldn’t that mean he looks opposed to something he’s not truly opposed to, and doesn’t that make the Republicans look equally hypocritical since they acted opposed to Obama’s version of CISPA but rewrote one of their own? It appears as if both parties are in favor of prying into our private internet activities. But wait, China’s spying on us and stealing our pattens and trade secrets, that is why it is crucial to US Government security that they have the ability to read and store your emails and tweets. Because you may not know it, but you my friend are a spy!
If you don’t believe you’re a spy, maybe invoking the Boston Bombing would cause you to vote for CISPA (the 4th amendment shredder)? Congressman Mike McCaul did so this morning:
“But perhaps the most eyebrow-raising comments of all came from Texas Republican Mike McCaul, who invoked the Boston bombings on the House floor this morning to argue why passing the bill was so important.
“What recent events in Boston demonstrate is that we have to come together, as Republicans and Democrats, to get this done in the name of national security. And this case in Boston, they were real bombs, explosive devices–in this case, they’re digital bombs. And these digital bombs are on their way.” Source: Mediaite
The Real Bombers? FBI Released the images of two suspects (not the above “middle eastern looking” men) who are for sure this time, the real bombers of the Boston Marathon.
Pardon my suspicion and pessimism in not believing what the FBI says. I would ask my readers to simply reflect on Benghazi. Remember that the whole DOD, White House Administration, Secretary of State, the State Department, claimed the cause of the attack on US Ambassador in Benghazi Libya had to do with a Youtube video. Ok, I rest my case.
If you can’t remember that story I present to you misinformation piece #2 in the case of Identifying the Boston Bombers (misinformation piece #1 was the first story on this post)
The Associated Press released this tweet yesterday, Wednesday April 17, 2013 that a suspect was taken into custody and was on their way to the Federal Court in Boston!
A lot of mis/dis-information is spewing out. The FBI claims it has video of one of the two most recent suspects leaving one of the bombs (pressure cookers) at one of the respective explosion sites.
I say, “Release the video.” Right now the FBI released this video of the two men walking with their backpacks in the crowd. Still photos of the same men show that there are many others in the crowd with Black backpacks. But we are to believe these two men are the bombers. Although I don’t want to post their photo here I will link to it so you can see for yourself if you live under a rock and haven’t seen the photo yet. Here’s the FBI’s video:
If you really want your head to spin this website (4chan) has a ton of pictures of people who have black backpacks and look out of place. I see the one I posted yesterday is on this site too, hence, the photo I posted is probably mis/dis-isnfo provided to me via google. They can flood the internet with tons of bunny trails you know. Oh, I said, “they.” My bad! Now I sound like a conspiracy theorist.
Last story of the day, for N4TM to report on, is the Explosion in “West” Texas. This explosion at a Fertilizer Plant resulted in a measured 2.1 magnitude on the Richter scale, and has seen little light of day on MSM.
“A massive explosion has rocked a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas. Dozens have been confirmed killed, while authorities are reportedly warning residents that they should evacuate town as soon as possible.
The explosion occurred around 7:50pm local time in the town of West, north of Waco. A fireball of nearly 100 feet high has been reported along with a massive power outage.
“Law enforcement is advising residents to leave town immediately,” West’s school district tweeted, potentially due to fears of another explosion.
Seventy people had been confirmed killed by the blast by late evening Thursday, as reported by KHOU, the local CBS News affiliate, with “hundreds injured.“ Local news KXXV reports that among the dead are five firefighters and one police officer. State officials have yet to confirm these numbers.
Sixty-one others have been confirmed as admitted to Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, just one of the multiple emergency facilities in the area.” Source RT
Days before the March 1 deadline, Senate Republicans are circulating a draft bill that would cancel $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts and instead turn over authority to President Barack Obama to achieve the same level of savings under a plan to be filed by March 8. The five- page document, which has the tacit support of Senate GOP leaders, represents a remarkable shift for the party. Having railed against Senate Democrats for not passing a budget, Republicans are now proposing that Congress surrender an important piece of its Constitutional “power of the purse” for the last seven months of this fiscal year.
If Congress were to follow this course, significant power would be shifted to the president, an unusual maneuver that even Obama himself and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) have scoffed at. But the plan appears to have the backing of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and is being advanced by conservative Republicans who don’t want the White House to continue using the sequester as a public relations hammer.
What in the world is going on? I went to bed having just posted the previous article where I laid out the whole Sequester fear-monger angle I could not have anticipated the GOP would give Obama what he ultimately wants and that is power of a Demagogue.
N. demagogue or sometimes ( US ) demagog (ˈdɛməˌɡɒɡ)
1. a political agitator who appeals with crude oratory to the prejudice and passions of the mob.
Let us Reason
Let me get this straight; Obama, created the Sequester, he’s going around the nation to key places where he is probably hoping there will be riots over the Sequester, he is refusing to accept any deal the Republicans offer; and, now the Republicans are going to give this man all power for the next seven months?! Obama wants all power. He wants the cuts and he wants more taxes, it’s called Austerity Measures, and it’s what all the Superpowers agreed to do and pass in their respective countries for the past few years at their G8 meetings. Obama wants Sequester to happen because it will cause riots and he wants riots. Obama wants the power to decide because he’s going to pass what he has been told to pass (insert Shadow Government) and that is deep Austerity cuts and taxes. Ok, I just wanted to run this all by you so that we’re on the same page and can all acknowledge that both parties are responsible for the Destruction of the former United States of America.
We’re not the only ones going through this financial crisis ad infinitum. Take a look at these headlines:
The perceived power of the United Nations is a palpable fear in the US since one of it’s subsidiaries has been “INVITED” to monitor the US Presidential Elections (see last post); however, despite the UN’s constant impotence at securing anything people are still afraid. The UN can’t keep a peace agreement and this has been proven by time and experience so it’s no wonder it could not secure a cease fire in Syria for even four measly days. Syria is back to bombing it’s residents and the “Rebels” (ergo Islamic Jihadists) are back to fighting the government. What does this mean for Syria? Fox news is reporting that “Diplomacy” is a failure with Assad and that “talks” can only go so far, so whereas we might see the UN as a failure as most people do, they really are succeeding at their ulterior motive and that is to set a precedence and a means for Aggressive Action, ie Military Intervention. Who’ll take on the role as “teeth” when it comes to intervening in Syria? Potus Obama is busy thwarting the media in talking about Benghazi and his role in selling ARMS and providing capital to Islamic Jihadis from Yemen to Lebanon so he’s useless. Africom is busy with the psychological warfare aspect and Saudi Arabia and Jordon are well aware that their numbers are coming up soon, so the one in play currently and the one that stands to gain much and lose much is Turkey. Turkey is engaged already and could play a vital role for the EU and the US. As long as Russia and China stay away it’ll be a regional war and not a “World War” cause who wants a “World War” when you can compartmentalize war to a limited area and people? (sarcasm).
Excerpt: “Syrian authorities blame “terrorists” for breaking the truce and the opposition says a ceasefire is impossible while Assad moves tanks and uses artillery and jets against populated areas.
A statement by the Syrian military said “blatant” rebel violations proved they want to “fragment and destroy Syria“.
“These terrorist groups must be confronted, their remnants chased and an iron fist used to exterminate them and save the homeland from their evil,” the statement said.
Brahimi hopes to end the conflict that has killed at least 32,000 people and further destabilized the Middle East. It began with a popular revolt in March last year against four decades of authoritarian rule by Assad and his late father, Hafez al-Assad.
The ceasefire won international support, including from Russia, China and Iran, President Assad’s main foreign allies.
But the truce seems destined to share the fate of failed peace efforts that have preceded it, with dozens of people continuing to be killed daily and international and regional powers at odds while they back different sides.
A sectarian divide between Assad’s minority Alawite sect and Syria’s majority Sunnis is also growing, fuelling religious fervor and attracting more foreign jihadists into the country.” End quote, for full article click on hypertext “Reuters” above.
False Hope
In 2008 there was a fervor that blanketed the hearts and minds of Americans when they elected the first bi-racial President, Barack Hussein Obama. Since his inception as Potus he’s failed to sustain the hysteria; and, most of that fervor for “Hope and Change” has been met with an embarrassing admittance that celebrity doesn’t change Washington nor does bowing to our enemies and pumping them with greenbacks subdue our enemies abroad. So now the opposite party is a buzz with “Hope.” I see the same vanity that fueled the Liberal Left of 2008 sweeping into the starry eyes of those in the Conservative Right camp as they gaze upon the “RR” ticket. That’s Romney\Ryan for those who don’t know. Will the, Left of Center of the “Right,” Republican Party candidate Mitt Romney with his, Greek Styled Austerity Measures Planner young buck Paul Ryan, change America into a moral and righteous bride again? It would be a false hope to believe that two men, a Mormon and a Catholic are going to turn the tides of Apostasy and moral backsliding that America has been under the influence of for at least two generations that I have come to perceive in my own short life time. Christians are blindly supporting this Ecumenical political ticket. It seems like a misnomer to point out the highly liberal ideologies the GOP ticket is representing these days. Austerity Measures that Paul Ryan is going to put forth would be an abomination under a Democratic ticket, but since it’s painted in Red it is palatable for Conservatives. Obama’s Health Care measures were modeled after Mitt Romney’s socialized form of health care when he was Governor of Massachusetts. I hate to burst the Conservative bubble but a Republican President is not going to remove all the liberal legislation that Obama put in and it’s only going to get worse if you honestly believe the Bible when it comes to the “End Days” morally speaking. I know, I’m the heavy.
Can we all just, Coexist?
If the Bible is true, and there is only one way to the Father and that is through Jesus Christ, can we all just get along with one another? It seems like these days patriots are hammering for America the Utopia not America the beautiful. Dominionist ideology has crept in so masterfully into conservative branches it’s ridiculous. If the Romney Ryan ticket doesn’t spell Ecumenical I don’ t know what more the Bride of Christ is waiting for. Perhaps one day there will be a Hindu President or even an openly Gay Muslim, but even Islam prohibits homosexuality so who knows how much further we’ll slide as a country and a Church. Would we have thought fifty years ago America would look like the adulteress she is now? I’m speaking spiritually here. There are abominations in the Bible that just don’t sit well with our Lord. He is a Jealous God and He does not share His glory with any other gods. I love that in America we have religious liberty to worship any god or no god, because this allows me worship THEE GOD with no fear of religious persecution; however, if and when the day comes that America’s whoredom exceeds its own self and out laws the worship and belief in the one True God who’s Son is Jesus Christ whom by no other name can one be saved, then I will err on the side of Worshiping my God at the risk of all. This is something few people can fathom I understand, but I’m speaking if it comes down to that in this country. Although I love my freedoms, my God comes first. Patriotism in this country is near or at an idolatrous status. It is because of this Idolatry of “America the Utopia” coupled with the fornication with other ‘”gods” via the Ecumenical road in the US, on both sides of isle, that I believe there will be many people who will willingly sacrifice their faith for a semblance of “liberty.” The Ecumenical road’s banner would be, “We are all Christians Now.” The “Coexisters” who have white washed any absolute truth have succeeded in making doctrinal truth obsolete. It’s only a hop skip and a jump to abandon the fact that Salvation is only won through Christ because nowadays everyone’s faith is true hence none are true. There are real lies being told out there, one of the biggest ones is that all other faiths are just as Christian as the “Christians.”
Real Lies.
There are real lies and they are usually presented in pretty packages with truth as a covering. Can you discern the difference? It’s important, it’s vital. Vital means it’s essential for life. If you want to live you have to know the difference between life and lies. One lie more recently has to do with the situation in Benghazi, Libya. Most people who are screaming for justice and demanding the MSM (Main Stream Media) atone for their sin of not reporting the “facts” were the same people who bought the lie that the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi had to do with a YouTube Video on Islam. These same people I see tweeting #Standdown which is a catch phrase on twitter that points to the failure of the Obama administration to rescue our Ambassador and three other service men; are the ones who were condemning Islam and mocking the faith of those in North Africa for rioting over the YouTube film. Now all of a sudden these bots are demanding “Truth” on Benghazi and justice. I hate to point out the obvious here, but “I told you so.” I called it from the beginning and it’s not to my credit at all, once you’ve accustomed yourself to recognizing lies their story fell apart as it came out their mouth that very same day and to me anyway it was that obvious. Perhaps I had more insight because I already knew the CIA was funneling arms to AlQaeda in Libya and Egypt. Funding Muslim Brotherhood for years and taking out “dictators” (sovereign leaders of sovereign nations who were actually already in the US pocket and whom were buffering full out persecution of the minority of Christians in those particular countries). How much more important it is to discern the lies you’re being told everyday from false teachers, cult leaders, blind and deluded fellow “Christians” who ask you to forsake the name of the one who bought your salvation for the price of “Freedom” and “Liberty?” I would venture to think that discerning those lies are more important than a fake news story. In the days following, leading up to the election, and even past the election there will be many lies but none are as vital than knowing that there is Truth, there is One who is always Truth, there is One unchanging and perfectly absolutely incomprehensible beautiful sacrifice for our disgusting morally corrupt self seeking selves and that is Christ Jesus. This post was not intended to go this way of “preaching” but it seems I feel hard pressed this evening to convey that “news” and “fake news” is the least of importance when I meditate on the fact that I have been forgiven of my sin and have Salvation that nothing in this world can shake or take away. That is a peace that defies all understanding, and I want you to have that if you don’t already. There are storms on the horizon, both literally and metaphorically, wouldn’t you want to know that no matter what happens there’s one thing Real amongst all the lies? Know Him. Seek Him. Thanks for your time and your attention.

As a “Pro-family” Republican Candidate: by his undeniable record fully documented below, Mitt Romney:
- created RomneyCare which is terribly similar to ObamaCare but even worse for it openly funds all abortions, on demand
- put Planned Parenthood on the so-called “independent” board he created that offers $50 co-pay abortions
- thereby instituted tax-funded abortion on demand two years after his orchestrated “pro-life” conversion
- as late as 2012 says he would nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts (who upheld Obamacare)
- continues to defend aborting hundreds of thousands of kids (denying their God-given right to life)
- supported destructive embryonic research after his false 2004 pro-life conversion
- put a pro-abortion Democratic judge on the bench after Romney had claimed a pro-life conversion
- falsely claims that a court ordered him to institute same-sex marriage, a travesty he is to blame for
- single-handedly instituted same-sex marriage and later fabricated a claim that a court ordered him to do so
- bragged that he would continue to defend abortion “rights” after he claimed a pro-life conversion
- denies responsibility for 10-member board funding abortion even though his executive branch filled 7 seats
- pro-choice in ’94; pro-life in ’01; choice ’02; pro-life ’04; choice ’05; life in ’06; then funded abortion in ’06; and now in 2012 he has a “health exception,” the loophole opened by the Supreme Court’s Doe v. Bolton opinion that allows all abortions, as in Colorado for example, throughout all nine months.
Change of Heart? Preparing to begin his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2005, Mitt Romney orchestrated a demonstrably false 2004 pro-life conversion12. Romney must have expected that leading conservative media outlets, groups, authors, and talk show hosts (like Sean Hannity and Hugh Hewitt) would ignore, deny, or even defend his subsequent pro-abortion efforts. Romney’s support for dismembering unborn children proves that his “conversion” was a political deception devised to steal pro-life votes. So putting Planned Parenthood on the state board that he created which authorized even late-term tax-funded abortion on demand, a crime against humanity far beyond anything the Clintons or Barack Obama have been able to accomplish, is brushed aside by untrustworthy “pro-life” conservative leaders.
Authorizing Tax-Funded Abortion: On April 12, 2006 Romney signed3 Massachusetts’ government health care plan4 that from the start has provided taxpayer funds even for what are called “elective” abortions, killing unborn children without even the facade of the typical though invalid medical excuses common in tax-funded abortion laws. Romney’s government-run health care plan5 predated Barack Obama’s health care reform and according to the government of Massachusetts, “All Commonwealth Care health plans include… abortion.”6
Romney Care was/is the precursor to Obama care
Tax-Payers Forced to Fund Abortion: Unlike the countless “liberals” and moderates who are “pro-choice” but oppose tax-funded abortion, “RomneyCare” goes beyond being merely “pro-choice” and is radically pro-abortion by overtly paying abortionists to perform any and all types of abortions with tax dollars.78
If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened: Can Mitt Romney be connected to the authority that offers tax-funded abortion? Other than, that is, that he created it, determined its composition, and staffed it? Romney and his executive branch had staffing control over seven of the ten members of the board he created. But here’s Romney’s lie to pass the blame for tax-funded abortion onto his friends. If I Did It: Romney claims, “The Commonwealth Care benefit services package was developed by the Connector Authority – an independent authority separate from the Governor’s Office. … Their decisions were made separate of the Romney administration.”20 The truth is that the “Connector” was created by Romney’s authority with the Act of 2006 that he signed,21 it was placed under Romney’s executive branch administration,2223 and was run by a ten-member board with four members directly seated by Romney’s authority: the Planned Parenthood seat which he created,24 and three others appointed by Romney himself, and three appointed by Romney’s attorney general who was also part of the executive branch and Romney administration.”25
It’s Not My Fault: The health care plan Romney signed into law states, “Any action of the connector may take effect immediately and need not be published or posted.”26 Romney’s denial of responsibility for tax-funded abortion is like a governor appointing a known racist and giving him authority to lynch and then denying any responsibility.
1994 Pro-Choice Run:Romney ran for Senator in Massachusetts as pro-choice in 1994,53 attended an abortion fundraiser on June 12th,54 and his wife Ann gave $150 to Planned Parenthood.5556(End of quote-see source link above for full site and more information)
Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show (From MotherJones a very liberal site)
“The Stericycle deal—the abortion connection aside—is relevant because of questions regarding the timing of Romney’s departure from the private equity firm he founded. Responding to a recent Washington Poststory reporting that Bain-acquired companies outsourced jobs, the Romney campaign insisted that Romney exited Bain in February 1999, a month or more before Bain took over two of the companies named in the Post‘s article. The SEC documents undercut that defense, indicating that Romney still played a role in Bain investments until at least the end of 1999.
Here’s what happened with Stericycle. In November 1999, Bain Capital and Madison Dearborn Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm, filed with the SEC a Schedule 13D, which lists owners of publicly traded companies, noting that they had jointly purchased $75 million worth of shares in Stericycle, a fast-growing player in the medical-waste industry. (That April, Stericycle had announced plans to buy the medical-waste businesses of Browning Ferris Industries and Allied Waste Industries.) The SEC filing lists assorted Bain-related entities that were part of the deal, including Bain Capital (BCI), Bain Capital Partners VI (BCP VI), Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors (a Bermuda-based Bain affiliate), and Brookside Capital Investors (a Bain offshoot). And it notes that Romney was the “sole shareholder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BCI, BCP VI Inc., Brookside Inc. and Sankaty Ltd.”
The document also states that Romney “may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to” 2,116,588 shares of common stock in Stericycle “in his capacity as sole shareholder” of the Bain entities that invested in the company. That was about 11 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock. (The whole $75 million investment won Bain, Romney, and their partners 22.64 percent of the firm’s stock—the largest bloc among the firm’s owners.) The original copy of the filing was signed by Romney.
Another SEC document filed November 30, 1999, by Stericycle also names Romney as an individual who holds “voting and dispositive power” with respect to the stock owned by Bain. If Romney had fully retired from the private equity firm he founded, why would he be the only Bain executive named as the person in control of this large amount of Stericycle stock?
Stericycle was a lucrative investment for Romney and Bain. The company had entered the medical-waste business a decade earlier, when it took over a food irradiation plant in Arkansas and began zapping medical waste, rather than strawberries, with radiation. The company subsequently replaced irradiation with a technology that used low-frequency radio waves to sterilize medical waste—gowns, masks, gloves, and other medical equipment—before it was transported to an incinerator. By mid-1997, Stericycle was the second-largest medical-waste disposal business in the nation. Two years later, it was the largest. With 240,000 customers, its operations spanned the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Fortune ranked it No. 10 on its list of the 100 fastest growing companies in the nation.”
From “The Examiner” a spin off of Fox News Generally more conservative
“Stericycle is a medical waste firm that disposes of medical waste from clinics and hospitals including “waste” from abortions that pro-life supporters consider to be human remains deserving of burial.
Romney used to be pro-choice and supported Roe v Wade. He has flip flopped and now says he is anti-abortion. The Stericycle investment raises eyebrows because some conservatives say Mitt’s money is not where his mouth is.
Even though pro-life groups had targeted Stericlycle prior to this disclosure about Romney’s investment, the issue has been as hidden as Romney’s tax returns—until now. Mother Jones broke the story, but other than Mother Jones and this column, no one has really covered Romney’s investment in Stericycle.” (end of Quote.

Hey, “Young Turk,” I care! I may not do a whole lot, but what I do is care. I care enough that I’m willing to be attacked by all the people on the right who are in love with Romney and Ryan simply because they are brainwashed by the rhetoric. I’m willing to loose readers by putting out a post like this which reveals who Romney really is. Now, I must add this disclaimer, I’m not a Liberal, I’m not for Obama, I’m not a “lefty;” however, thanks to age and wisdom I am no longer considering myself a “Republican” either. Because I know the type of propaganda that spews from the pulpits of the Christian Right as well I will not call myself that either. I’m not in the “Tea Party” movement, and I don’t know a lick about what Libertarian’s believe so don’t call me that either. I’m willing to error on the side of truth and just bow out completely from this year’s most fake and bogus Presidential Campaign in history! And you thought 2008 was historical. No my friends, you have to go into this election fully aware of what you are doing and whom you are voting in. I do not agree with, “anybody but Obama.” I fell for that bowl of lie soup last time and almost fainted in the voter stand as I cast my vote because I knew how “Liberal” the Republican candidate was and didn’t think we’d be any safer with him! This time I am not going to sacrifice my ethical and moral judgement based on some stupid movie (2016) or “Empty Chair” propaganda. Don’t you see, don’t you get it, Romney is the Liberal in this election that is exactly why Clint Eastwood endorsed him and that’s exactly what you’re going to get. He’s not going to repeal Roe Vs. Wade, the repealed Don’t Ask Don’t tell, the Obama Health Care Act, the DHS or TSA grouping you at the airports, he’s not going to lock down the borders (North or South), he’s going to keep state determined marriage laws for same sex marriages. What is he actually going to do “if” (even CNN wants Romney they use the term “when”) Romney gets elected? From his RNC speech it sounds like he’s going to start new trade wars with China and instigate Russia possibly into a military war! (Bunny trail moment: The more I think about our Foreign policy the more I wonder if the US is not the “hook in the jaw” that you read about in Ezekiel’s war.) We seem to be doing everything we can to disrupt the Middle East and uproot Africa and stir the sleeping Bear of the North. God Help us. I do believe America is great and that we are a good nation, and I say that knowing much of the evils we do commit! However, we cannot continue to blindly and stupidly elect these Terrorists. Yes, I said it, producing illegal wars, killing innocent lives both domestically via abortion, and internationally in wars that are never voted on by our Congress but funded and blessed in secret via executive orders is wrong. The “Christian right” is the categorical group I have the most frustration with because –You– (we) are supposed to be held to a higher standard and are to reflect Christ. Instead the Christian Right is screaming that Romney is a “Christian” when he worships Moroni and has another Jesus; and yet, condemning Obama for being a “closet Muslim?!” This is stupidity. The Christian Right listens to Jesuit Generals and “Christian” Authors more than their own doctrines that Christ taught. Whatever you do on election day make your decision an educated one, and accept full responsibility; and don’t blame Glenn Beck because he “didn’t tell you” that Romney and all of Mormonism is truly Replacement Theology, their church LDS, replaces Israel as the covenant people. You have google, start your own vetting.
A “reconciliation” resolution handles tax and budget matters essential to the health care reform package. Reconciliation is a special parliamentary maneuver available to the House and Senate.
Here is the three-step process expected to unfold this week:
Step 1 (Monday)
The House Budget Committee gets the ball rolling by voting on the reconciliation bill — although the panel won’t be considering the actual changes to the health-care bill that Democrats want to make. Instead, the committee will be voting on what’s known as a “shell bill” — a measure whose contents will be erased later in the process and replaced with the guts of a new bill. Why? Because under the instructions written into last year’s budget, the reconciliation process must use a measure written no later than Oct. 15, 2009.
So the Budget Committee will vote Monday [It did, and it passed] on a set of reconciliation recommendations sent to the panel in early October. Then it will consider a series of “motions to instruct” the Rules Committee — legislative recommendations from Republicans and Democrats that are totally symbolic and nonbinding, but can be used to score political points.
After the Budget Committee approves the reconciliation measure, the Rules Committee must wait at least two days before it takes up the bill, technically so members have time to review it.
Step 2 (Wednesday/Thursday)
Once the requisite two days have passed, the House Rules Committee begins the real work of creating the reconciliation bill.
That panel — on which Democrats have a 9 to 4 membership advantage — will swap out the old reconciliation language sent by the Budget Committee, substituting the actual amendments that have been crafted in consultation with Democratic leaders, chairmen and the White House.
The committee will also write a rule setting the terms of debate, choosing one of two options.
The first option would be to have a vote on the rule, then a vote on the original Senate bill and then a vote on the reconciliation bill.
The second option — dubbed the “Slaughter solution” after Rules Committee Chairman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) — would use what’s called a “self-executing rule,” under which the House would “deem” the original Senate bill passed after the House votes on the rule for debate.
In other words, the House could pass the original Senate bill without lawmakers actually taking a stand-alone vote on it. Then the House would vote on the reconciliation measure.
Step 3 (Friday/Saturday/Sunday?)
The House votes, following one of the two scenarios explained above. If the Senate bill passes (or is “deemed” passed by the House), then it goes to President Obama for his signature, regardless of what happens with the reconciliation bill.
If the reconciliation measure passes the House, then it goes to the Senate for a vote as early as next week. That chamber could pass the reconciliation bill as is, or it could amend the measure, sending it back to the House again. (<—yeah right)
It’s not infighting….
And now for the record I must state that the ‘Conservative’ movement has made the same idolatrous mistake as the Radical Left in choosing false messiah’s to save this country from the DOOM that is the Universal Health Care (Socialist New World Order Agenda) Bill.
Stupak. He is a Democrat. He does want to see Health Care Pass. Although, he says he’s against any Abortion Language in the Health Care Bill; and he seems to the Right/Conservative’s as a friendly, he is still a Democrat and has been unjustly lifted up on a false ‘Messiah’ pedestal. I think this one is going to come back to bite us. I’m a Christian first and I do not want Abortion in the bill either, but what I’m noticing is that this Senator has had a long time courting and jesting the Conservative Right thinking we had a means of blocking health care. I think, although I really would like to believe Mr.Stupak, that he’s just been yanking our chain distracting us and getting us looking the other way for quite sometime. That is my total uneducated self-contained opinion–and I pray I’m WRONG.
Scott Brown. Sigh. This one I pegged from the beginning. I never believed for one second that he was a “Conservative.” He admitted that his policies were in line with ‘The President’s (Obama)’ from the beginning. I didn’t fall for the ‘truck’ gimmick, this guy has had money, his wife has money, he’s not a regular ‘Joe.’ Anyway…He voted for the Jobs Bill (17.5 Billion–that won’t create jobs) as his first act as a Senator. He was voted in on the ‘Hope‘ and dream bet that he would block Health Care. Gag. Someone get me a Dr.!
Exhortation:
We cannot afford to waste time falling for every false ‘messiah’ either Politically and most importantly Spiritually! This site is first and foremost a News Site bringing you headlines not reported on Main Stream Media (MSM). However, with the catapult of Twitter & other Social Media, even this site is outdated! Secondly, this site’s purpose is to remind us (Christian’s) that this is not our home and we need to put on Discernment when it comes to Who and What we are being taught. This goes for the Word of God (most important) and our Country. Since we are fortunate enough to be in the United States…what remains of it, and we still enjoy the freedom of Religious Practice and Free Speech, we must not forget which of the two is most important. These two freedoms may be waning but as long as we have them I’ll be posting to this blog and tweeting zealously! I leave you with this;
If you are a Christian please be in intercessory prayer for our nation. I wonder like Jeremiah if it is even worth it to pray for such a group of people (heathen unbelieving politicians), unlike Jeremiah, I have not been told to cease praying. Thus, until then we must pray for our Nations Leaders and our brethren to not be deceived by every wind of false doctrine! If you are not a Christian and you’re wondering what does believing in Jesus Christ have to do with Health Care; HE is the Great Physician! Believing In the true Messiah, our Lord Savior Jesus Christ, will result in redemption from your sin, forgiveness, eternal life, an inheritance to Heaven, and the gift of the Holy Spirit! Of whom will give you the discernment you will need during this time. Knowing that this life is temporal is a great encouragement and it sets the right perspective.
Romney was ProChoice, funded State abortions through Romney Care, and Profited from disposing of aborted fetuses
The Following was taken from this site: http://prolifeprofiles.com/mitt-romney-abortion *Please click on the link to full the full site because there’s much more chronicled information than what I put here. (*Links to sites are not an endorsement of the site but are for informational purposes only)
- put Planned Parenthood on the so-called “independent” board he created that offers $50 co-pay abortions
- thereby instituted tax-funded abortion on demand two years after his orchestrated “pro-life” conversion
- as late as 2012 says he would nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts (who upheld Obamacare)
- continues to defend aborting hundreds of thousands of kids (denying their God-given right to life)
- supported destructive embryonic research after his false 2004 pro-life conversion
- put a pro-abortion Democratic judge on the bench after Romney had claimed a pro-life conversion
- falsely claims that a court ordered him to institute same-sex marriage, a travesty he is to blame for
- single-handedly instituted same-sex marriage and later fabricated a claim that a court ordered him to do so
- bragged that he would continue to defend abortion “rights” after he claimed a pro-life conversion
- denies responsibility for 10-member board funding abortion even though his executive branch filled 7 seats
- pro-choice in ’94; pro-life in ’01; choice ’02; pro-life ’04; choice ’05; life in ’06; then funded abortion in ’06; and now in 2012 he has a “health exception,” the loophole opened by the Supreme Court’s Doe v. Bolton opinion that allows all abortions, as in Colorado for example, throughout all nine months.
Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show (From MotherJones a very liberal site)
“The Stericycle deal—the abortion connection aside—is relevant because of questions regarding the timing of Romney’s departure from the private equity firm he founded. Responding to a recent Washington Post story reporting that Bain-acquired companies outsourced jobs, the Romney campaign insisted that Romney exited Bain in February 1999, a month or more before Bain took over two of the companies named in the Post‘s article. The SEC documents undercut that defense, indicating that Romney still played a role in Bain investments until at least the end of 1999.
Here’s what happened with Stericycle. In November 1999, Bain Capital and Madison Dearborn Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm, filed with the SEC a Schedule 13D, which lists owners of publicly traded companies, noting that they had jointly purchased $75 million worth of shares in Stericycle, a fast-growing player in the medical-waste industry. (That April, Stericycle had announced plans to buy the medical-waste businesses of Browning Ferris Industries and Allied Waste Industries.) The SEC filing lists assorted Bain-related entities that were part of the deal, including Bain Capital (BCI), Bain Capital Partners VI (BCP VI), Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors (a Bermuda-based Bain affiliate), and Brookside Capital Investors (a Bain offshoot). And it notes that Romney was the “sole shareholder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BCI, BCP VI Inc., Brookside Inc. and Sankaty Ltd.”
The document also states that Romney “may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to” 2,116,588 shares of common stock in Stericycle “in his capacity as sole shareholder” of the Bain entities that invested in the company. That was about 11 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock. (The whole $75 million investment won Bain, Romney, and their partners 22.64 percent of the firm’s stock—the largest bloc among the firm’s owners.) The original copy of the filing was signed by Romney.
Another SEC document filed November 30, 1999, by Stericycle also names Romney as an individual who holds “voting and dispositive power” with respect to the stock owned by Bain. If Romney had fully retired from the private equity firm he founded, why would he be the only Bain executive named as the person in control of this large amount of Stericycle stock?
Stericycle was a lucrative investment for Romney and Bain. The company had entered the medical-waste business a decade earlier, when it took over a food irradiation plant in Arkansas and began zapping medical waste, rather than strawberries, with radiation. The company subsequently replaced irradiation with a technology that used low-frequency radio waves to sterilize medical waste—gowns, masks, gloves, and other medical equipment—before it was transported to an incinerator. By mid-1997, Stericycle was the second-largest medical-waste disposal business in the nation. Two years later, it was the largest. With 240,000 customers, its operations spanned the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Fortune ranked it No. 10 on its list of the 100 fastest growing companies in the nation.”
(End of Quote: See MotherJones Story here for full text)
From “The Examiner” a spin off of Fox News Generally more conservative
“Stericycle is a medical waste firm that disposes of medical waste from clinics and hospitals including “waste” from abortions that pro-life supporters consider to be human remains deserving of burial.
Reports surfaced in July that Mitt Romney personally and Bain Capital invested millions of dollars in Stericycle and profited handsomely from that investment. Details have been hidden because Romney used an off shore company he owned in a confidential tax haven, Bermuda, to make the investments.
Romney used to be pro-choice and supported Roe v Wade. He has flip flopped and now says he is anti-abortion. The Stericycle investment raises eyebrows because some conservatives say Mitt’s money is not where his mouth is.
Even though pro-life groups had targeted Stericlycle prior to this disclosure about Romney’s investment, the issue has been as hidden as Romney’s tax returns—until now. Mother Jones broke the story, but other than Mother Jones and this column, no one has really covered Romney’s investment in Stericycle.” (end of Quote.

Hey, “Young Turk,” I care! I may not do a whole lot, but what I do is care. I care enough that I’m willing to be attacked by all the people on the right who are in love with Romney and Ryan simply because they are brainwashed by the rhetoric. I’m willing to loose readers by putting out a post like this which reveals who Romney really is. Now, I must add this disclaimer, I’m not a Liberal, I’m not for Obama, I’m not a “lefty;” however, thanks to age and wisdom I am no longer considering myself a “Republican” either. Because I know the type of propaganda that spews from the pulpits of the Christian Right as well I will not call myself that either. I’m not in the “Tea Party” movement, and I don’t know a lick about what Libertarian’s believe so don’t call me that either. I’m willing to error on the side of truth and just bow out completely from this year’s most fake and bogus Presidential Campaign in history! And you thought 2008 was historical. No my friends, you have to go into this election fully aware of what you are doing and whom you are voting in. I do not agree with, “anybody but Obama.” I fell for that bowl of lie soup last time and almost fainted in the voter stand as I cast my vote because I knew how “Liberal” the Republican candidate was and didn’t think we’d be any safer with him! This time I am not going to sacrifice my ethical and moral judgement based on some stupid movie (2016) or “Empty Chair” propaganda. Don’t you see, don’t you get it, Romney is the Liberal in this election that is exactly why Clint Eastwood endorsed him and that’s exactly what you’re going to get. He’s not going to repeal Roe Vs. Wade, the repealed Don’t Ask Don’t tell, the Obama Health Care Act, the DHS or TSA grouping you at the airports, he’s not going to lock down the borders (North or South), he’s going to keep state determined marriage laws for same sex marriages. What is he actually going to do “if” (even CNN wants Romney they use the term “when”) Romney gets elected? From his RNC speech it sounds like he’s going to start new trade wars with China and instigate Russia possibly into a military war! (Bunny trail moment: The more I think about our Foreign policy the more I wonder if the US is not the “hook in the jaw” that you read about in Ezekiel’s war.)
