    100 Million Americans Without Jobs

    Eddy Elfenbein, Crossing Wall Street|May 23, 2012,



    The national unemployment rates gets lots of attention, and lately more attention has been paid to the workforce participation rate since more Americans have given up looking for a job, but we can also see that an astounding 100 million Americans don’t have jobs.

    Specifically, these are people who are part of the civilian over-16 non-institutional population who are either unemployed or not part of the workforce. According to the April jobs report, the number of jobless American stood at 100.9 million.

    That’s an all-time record and it’s an increase of 26.2 million over the last 12 years. It’s as if we absorbed the entire adult population of Canada and not a single person had a job.

    US Court Documents Claim Sinaloa “Cartel” Is Protected by US Government

    Posted by Bill Conroy - July 31, 2011 at 5:07 pm



    Deal Allegedly Gave Sinaloa Bosses Immunity in Exchange for Providing Info on Rival Drug Organizations



    The son of a heavy hitter in a powerful Mexican drug trafficking organization has filed explosive legal pleadings in federal court in Chicago accusing the US government of cutting a deal with the the “Sinaloa Cartel” that gave its leadership “carte blanche to continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs into Chicago and the rest of the United States.”



    The source of that allegation is Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, the son of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, one of the purported top leaders of the Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization — a major Mexican-based importer of weapons and exporter of drugs.

    Pastor arrested for holding home Bible study

    July 11, 2012

    Today, Michael Salman sits in jail following a raid on his home because the city doesn't allow people to hold private Bible studies on their own property! Fox News quoted Phoenix City Prosecutor Vicki Hall as saying, "It came down to zoning and proper permitting. Anytime you are holding a gathering of people continuously as he does, we have concerns about people being able to exit the facility properly in case there is a fire."

    Oregon Man Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail -- for Collecting Rainwater on His Property



    By Kendra Alleyne

    July 26, 2012

    (CNSNews.com) – A rural Oregon man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 days in jail and over $1,500 in fines because he had three reservoirs on his property to collect and use rainwater.



    Gary Harrington of Eagle Point, Ore., says he plans to appeal his conviction in Jackson County (Ore.) Circuit Court on nine misdemeanor charges under a 1925 law for having what state water managers called “three illegal reservoirs” on his property – and for filling the reservoirs with rainwater and snow runoff.

    Florida has a law that is it something like ten years automatic if a person commits a crime with a gun. This guy as the article states did two months worth of crime and with his gun. It is not really his first offense but his first crime spree that he caught for and then sentenced. Did he and his attorney except all of this other crimes be forgotten or all placed together to be served co-currently. If so, then that would be begging for the high crime rate that Florida had thirty years ago before it got conservative with guns and crime.

    If the rainwater posed a health concern due to it not cirulating and having all kinds of stuff grow in it is one thing.
    IF the rainwater posed a health concern for it was not cirulating and becoming nothing more then a mosquito hatching center then thats is a second thing.
    But if the guy was just preventing flooding and protecting the foundation of his home then someone went nazi on him with a law that was not intended for how it was used.

    I could understand this if the guy had massive amounts of people in a close home to home setting but the article states he had 15-20 people and he lived on 4 ½ acres of land. Sounds Nazi like to me.

    If people in this nation stopped using illegal drugs for recreational or addicitive reasons then perhaps Mexico would not be the disaster it is and we would not have to be concerned with Cartels.

    Over 100 Million Now Receiving Federal Welfare



    http://www.weeklystandard.com/sites/all/files/images/-9.img_assist_custom-640x465.png



    The data come "from the U.S. Census’s Survey of Income and Program Participation shows that nearly 110,000 million individuals received a welfare benefit in 2011. (These figures do not include other means-tested benefits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit or the health insurance premium subsidies included in the President’s health care law. CBO estimates that the premium subsidies, scheduled to begin in 2014, will cover at least 25 million individuals by the end of the decade.)"



    This is not just Americans, however. "These figures include not only citizens, but non-citizens as well," according to the committee. 57% of illegals receive some kind of welfare.



    This is the new democratic voting base established to ensure progressives turn our country into another France.

    US Jobless Rate Really at 16%, Not 8.1%: Expert

    Published: Sunday, 16 Sep 2012

    Bibby says the unemployment numbers will be key to the direction of financial markets because right now markets are rallying on hopes that the Fed’s monetary stimulus will boost economic growth and bring down unemployment.

    That expectation may last for a few more months, but with unemployment likely to stay high for much longer than that, the stellar rally in stock markets may start to unwind, he adds.

    9/11 criminals running Romney campaign: Analyst


    A US analyst says the key pro-Israeli neo-con elements who ran the former George Bush administration’s foreign and military policies and planned the 9/11 attacks are now running the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

    According to Barrett, Romney's top foreign policy advisor Rabbi Dov Zakheim is “one of the leading suspected hands-on designers and controllers of the Israeli-instigated 9/11 false-flag operation.”

    The huge and mysterious loss of funds was actually estimated to be USD 9.1 trillion by CIA whistleblower Susan Lindauer, the article added.



    “So what happened to the Pentagon's missing 2.3 trillion dollars (or 9.1 trillion dollars if you believe Susan Lindauer)?” Barrett asked. “The one thing we know for sure is that it has never been found...at least not officially. Lindauer says insiders know it was embezzled by agents of Israel. Interestingly, the Comptroller of the Pentagon - the man who was running the Pentagon's finances - was a known Israeli agent, Rabbi Dov Zakheim. (Yes, he really is a rabbi!)”

    Soldier pleads guilty in WikiLeaks case, faces 20 years

    FORT MEADE, Maryland (AP) — The Army private arrested in the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history pleaded guilty Thursday to 10 charges that could send him to prison for 20 years, saying he was trying to expose the American military's "bloodlust" and disregard for human life in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Military prosecutors said they plan to move forward with a court-martial on the 12 remaining charges against Bradley Manning, including aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence.
    For the first time, Manning directly admitted leaking the material to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks and detailed the frustrations that led him to do it.

    "I began to become depressed at the situation we found ourselves mired in year after year. In attempting counterinsurgency operations, we became obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists," the 25-year-old former intelligence analyst in Baghdad told a military judge.

    He added: "I wanted the public to know that not everyone living in Iraq were targets to be neutralized."
    The slightly built soldier from Oklahoma read from a 35-page statement through his wire-rimmed glasses for more than an hour. He spoke quickly and evenly, showing little emotion even when he described how troubled he was by what he had seen.

    The judge, Col. Denise Lind, accepted his plea to 10 charges involving illegal possession or distribution of classified material. Manning was allowed to plead guilty under military regulations instead of federal espionage law, which knocked the potential sentence down from 92 years.

    He will not be sentenced until his court-martial on the other charges is over.

    Manning admitted sending hundreds of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports, State Department diplomatic cables, other classified records and two battlefield video clips to WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010.

    He said he was disturbed by the conduct of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the way American troops treated the populace. He said he did not believe the release of the information would harm the U.S.
