This is going to be an on going story about how big business may be sniffing your Internet packets without a search warrant in violation of the 4th amendment. Their justification is that they claim to be protecting copyrights. The reason I am unsure about the packet sniffing is that you are not told who your accuser is nor do you have access to their supposed evidence. To get this info you have to open a can of worms that allows them with all of their resources to more easily take legal action against you, who most likely can not even afford an attorney. This whole thing reeks of a Star Chamber.
These people with money have had regulations written by the FCC that was never meant to write laws, that strong arms your ISP (Mediacom in this case) into shutting down your account for supposed copyright violations with no due process, again in violation of the Constitution. There are also laws written by congress (the real congress not the super congress) dealing with copyright infringement. But I think most of us know that the congress is owned bought and paid for by powerful special interests.
To top it all off, the bottom line is that they want you to do this as there is an easy solution but they run from the solution, because the intent is to stifle free speech on the Internet. They want to strike terror in your heart every time that you download anything.
Every aspect of this story does not pass the smell test. It’s complete lawlessness. Does that surprise you in a nation ruled by an illegal alien from Kenya?
Stay tuned.
One thing that I have learned is that there really is no proof as to wrongdoing and that it is machine generated. Someone (I do not even have the right to know who my accuser is) all they go on I understand is the file name. For instance I could have a home movie called “Star Wars” and based solely on the file name I could get flagged for copyright violation when in actuality the movie is one that I made and own. The only way to verify if this is their material is to look in the packets (without a warrant) and do what is known as a CRC check and I am fairly certain that they are not doing this. So in effect they have NO proof of a copyright infringement but they get your Internet shut down and can even get criminal convictions with no proof! It’s amazing what money can buy these criminal thugs! They don’t even need proof and they don’t have to give you any due process as guaranteed under the Constitution. It’s a case of guilty until found guilty because they have lots of money.
This is a criminal gang, that has bought off our congress and has laws written for their special interests. In fact there is not even a law. It is my understanding that it is an alphabet soup agency such as the FCC that wrote the implementation of this “law” not congress as specified in the Constitution. Yes the more you dig the more it stinks.
What really aggravates me is the fact that by default everything is copy written. So saying that someone downloaded copy written material is really a misnomer. What should be said is that they DL’ed material the the copyright owner wanted to be compensated for and was not. And how are you to determine this when you click on a file and DL it? How are you to read the copyright owners mind? This file and this file are both copy written. The first file I happen to know the owner allows anyone to copy and distribute his work. The second I believe that is the case but am not sure. He has not made YouTube take it down at least. How about this movie at HuLu? There is a FBI copyright notice. So by watching it are you DL’ing and breaking copyright law? DL this one however and you will get a notice from your ISP that you have DL’ed copywritten material and they may terminate your service. And you may even be criminally prosecuted. How is one to know? You don’t and they want to keep it that way! It looks to me that this is being used to chill free speech on the Internet.
A solution to the problem would take maybe 8 hours of any competent programmers time. All that needs done is to write a Firefox plugin that when you start to DL a file that it would check against various databases to see if someone claims to have a copy right and also wants compensation, on that particular file. That would be too easy and put the companies that are paid by copyright holders out of business over night. It’s similar to expecting the cure for cancer from the American cancer society. It will never happen as that would put them out of business also. ( I realize the pitfalls and false positives of this method but it happens the be the way the copyright violations are machine generated and your Internet is shut down. I don’t think the founders thought that machine generated accusations met the standard of due process. )
The last slap in the face is that you can not find out who your accuser is or see their so called “proof” without filling paperwork that allows the ISP to identify you and thus open you to prosecution (and they will convict you I am told) with very sketchy evidence to say the least. Usually all they have for “proof” of a torrent download is an IP address and a file name. Not proof of anything at all…. But then again those with lots of money can purchase your being found guilty. Our legal system and legislature are for sale to the highest bidder.
There are several other scenarios where you can receive a false accusation of copyright infringement. One would be when an unauthorized person is using your network and another would be copyrighted material under the fair use law. If you would like to read more check out http://dmca.cs.washington.edu/faq.html – and thanks to commenter Jody for this link.
Enjoy the free Internet while you can. It is the plan of your government to change that fact as an educated electorate is dangerous to a criminal government.

CAFR’s and Ending Taxation
Ending Taxation – “The Only Game in Town” The way our government can and should be.
Have you ever heard of a CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report)? Watch the above film and start your education as to what governments are up to in the United States. You should be shocked.
Alex Jones also released a great CAFR movie a few years ago that is a little easier to follow,
perhaps this is the best one to watch first.
Alex Jones Report on The CAFR
In short this whole topic exposes the fact that governments have enough invested money that they do not have to collect taxes off of the citizens to pay the bills. They hide this fact by keeping a double set of books. Yes I know it sounds too far fetched to be true but so are many things that governments do. (This may not currently be true as most have lost much of this money due to poor investments in banker scams such as derivatives.)

Christians need to be responsible for their government.
Christians need to be responsible for their actions, yet they are not at all. As a group they are among the most irresponsible group on the planet. Let me explain: My fellow Christians are very duped and confused. They still think that we have a Caesar and that we should do whatever this Caesar fellow tells us to do. Well I will give them that Obama thinks he is Caesar, but that's all I give them. He is not my Caesar nor my God.
Christians are 2,000 years behind the times - as this is a Constitutional Republic that is founded upon the belief that we are Caesar, that we are the government. (See Locke, Paine, and Jefferson.) Yet Christians still recite their Romans 13 (also here) mantra in a catatonic manner, as their eyes roll back in their heads. They watch the world go by as if we have a king, with divine rights, or a Caesar, as if they have not a thing to do with the sorry state of affairs in this country.
Well I hate to burst their bubble, but this government is a direct result of their actions, or their inaction's. And they are responsible for it's actions.
Christians have created the government we have through their vote, and more importantly - through their silence. They have created this government - arguably one of the most vile, enslaving, and evil institutions to walk the face of the earth, and then like immature children they refuse to take the responsibility of controlling the monster they have created by falling back on their mantra that "It is of God". They let this monster that they create and support - steal, rape, and plunder their fellow man and then acting like their reviled, Pontius Pilate - wash their hands of it.
The land is filled with moronic pastors, many on the FEMA payroll, that tell them not to get involved in politics, to love Caesar, and their servitude, and the Christian sheeple almost to the man listen and heed this evil, ill advised advice. George Orwell would be proud.
This is exactly the state of affairs, (Idiot pastors and gullible Christians) that allowed Adolph Hitler to steer the German Republic into evil. Christians had better take heed and learn some history as they are going down the same path here in the US.
The situation of Christians creating this dangerous creature called government, and then refusing like immature children to police the monster they have created by doing things as simple as going to city council meetings, is similar to to parent that would hire a child molesting, pedophile, baby sitter to baby sit their children instead of doing due the diligence that would prevent this disaster. But that is OK, all they have to do is catatonicly chant the Romans 13 mantra and they are absolved of all responsitbilty for their actions.
Yea right.....
Irresponsible Christians are the biggest threat to our liberties in this country today and have but all destroyed everything that once made this country great. Christians have become the engine of evil in this country.
Which side are you on? Do you sit silently, drinking the cool aide, condoning the evil? Or are you speaking up?
----------------------------------
I offer 2 resources to the reader that would like to investigate the proper role of government the first is a sermon on Romans 13 by Pastor Chuck Baldwin. The second the classic by Frédéric Bastiat "The Law" Both I think you will find extremely enlightening on this topic.
"Anyone building a personal library of liberty must
include in it a copy of Frédéric Bastiat’s classic
essay, “The Law.” First published in 1850 by the
great French economist and journalist, it is as clear a statement
as has ever been made of the original American ideal
of government, as proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence,
that the main purpose of any government is the
protection of the lives, liberties, and property of its citizens...."

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” ~ Albert Einstein
And just as applicable:
Thomas Jefferson’s seal said “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” but I think it is even better reversed: “Obedience to tyrants is rebellion to God.”
Finally:
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
-- John F. Kennedy

The lefts Orwellian view of Capitalism
One of the lefts methodologies is an Orwellian attempt to redefine words.
Check this out: Wikipedia is trying to redefine a word for which there is a definition:
"Capitalism is an economic system that became dominant in the Western world following the demise of feudalism.[1] There is no consensus on the precise definition nor on how the term should be used as a historical category...."
If the central thesis of an argument is to redefine words I just don't know how to respond to such a mentally defective belief system. The left is George Orwell's 1984 is at work: redefine words so that people can no longer reason and think.
Fascism, and mercantilism, and socialism, communism, and criminal describe our economic system much better than capitalism. That is reality. Calling a dog a cat does not make it so. The left can not get over the fact that what we have is not capitalism. Not even close. The word "free market" economic is synonymous with the word capitalism. When is the left going to redefine that word also?
Remember: “War is Peace” Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.”
"These words are the official slogans of the Party, and are inscribed in massive letters on the white pyramid of the Ministry of Truth, as Winston observes in Book One, Chapter I. Because it is introduced so early in the novel, this creed serves as the reader’s first introduction to the idea of doublethink. By weakening the independence and strength of individuals’ minds and forcing them to live in a constant state of propaganda-induced fear, the Party is able to force its subjects to accept anything it decrees, even if it is entirely illogical—for instance, the Ministry of Peace is in charge of waging war, the Ministry of Love is in charge of political torture, and the Ministry of Truth is in charge of doctoring history books to reflect the Party’s ideology.
That the national slogan of Oceania is equally contradictory is an important testament to the power of the Party’s mass campaign of psychological control. In theory, the Party is able to maintain that “War Is Peace” because having a common enemy keeps the people of Oceania united. “Freedom Is Slavery” because, according to the Party, the man who is independent is doomed to fail. By the same token, “Slavery Is Freedom,” because the man subjected to the collective will is free from danger and want. “Ignorance Is Strength” because the inability of the people to recognize these contradictions cements the power of the authoritarian regime."
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFT DOES ON MANY FRONTS. DOUBLESPEAK (cognitive dissonance)...THEY TOOK THEIR MODUS OPERANDI RIGHT OUT OF 1984. AND THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY THE THE BANKERS THE VERY PEOPLE THAT THEY CLAIM TO DESPISE. I HAVE SEEN IT AGAIN AND AGAIN......
The tax free foundations fund the environmental movement, the Rockefeller's funded the women's movement, the original occupy wall street was funded by the bankers as all of their demands benefited the bankers, the corporate person-hood movement seems to be banker run. The left consists of dupes and useful idiots. (The right also just a bit less so.)
--------------------------------------
I really think that the left is beyond hope, they do not want to see what is going on because it would shatter their paradigm. Their irrational thought is ingrained into them, so deep that you can not get it out. This irrational thought IS the religion of the left. They will not let it go even with proof, logic, and facts, it is a matter of faith to the left. Government is the God of the left. That is how they try to impose their will on everyone.
My experience is that when arguing against leftist dogma. Is that they confuse attacking a philosophy with a personal attack and thus avoid discussing anything. That reaction seems to be part of the leftist mental disorder. Some things are worth my effort some things are not. I am finding trying to reason with lefist dogma is about as productive as pissing on my own leg.
What really matters is that one understands that what we have is not free market capitalism. (We probably have never had that ever but we were a lot closer 150 years ago and the word did apply more or less.) The second thing that really matters is that nothing is going to work, no amount of legislation aimed at whoever one thinks is the bad guy, when the government we have does not work, is corrupt and criminal to the core, and is run by a bunch of criminals. The government can not fix itself. We need to fix it and maybe take it down and created a new one from scratch.
The left says the bankers control our government, so they want the same owned/corrupt government to write laws to rectify the situation? (Remember that government is the lefts God.)
Have you ever read Boston T. Parties "Hologram of Liberty"? His thesis (and also that of Lysander Spooner) is that from the beginning the Constitution was created with enough loopholes to allow the federal government to become the monster that it has become. It was all done by design probably by agents of the banks such as Hamilton that was in on the Constitutional convention. He makes a very good case for this being so.

Anyone believing such bull shit belongs in a mental institution IMHO.

So far I have only used the word leftist for this article there is a much more accurate term however for these people that hold these irrational, dangerous views. I think the term "Leftist Christians" is a much more accurate description as 80% of the American population identify with the Christian label and a huge percentage of Christians thanks to the negligent clergy also hold these leftists views. And the conundrum is that socialism is the antithesis of Christianity. Reality is stranger than fiction and most of your Christian brothers and sisters are very much your enemy.

Lying Cops
I just had a local cop harass me over providing my name while on my homes front porch and not being under investigation in the commission of a crime in any way shape or form.
I was being nice and generous when this so called public servant asked me my name and I told him my first name. When he requested a last name I asked him if there was a Missouri law that required that I give him that information and that if there was would he please provide me with the the statue and then I would be more than happy to comply with the law.
Instead he tried to intimidate me.(Which to me meant he was a liar.) Asking me if I was wanted. To which I responded to "are you wanted?". Then he tried the "if you have nothing to hide you should tell me" to which I asked him if he had nothing to hide would be OK if I went through his wife's underwear drawer illustrating that my stance was based on something probably foreign to him called privacy.
(And what ever happened to the 4th and 5th amendment? Are they null and void in MO?)
He keep threatening that there was such a law in Missouri, even thought he would not, or could not recite it.
I told him, I hoped that, he being a public servant and my employee, would not lie to me and relented and gave him my last name. (Which shames me greatly that I caved in...)
Anyhow if I lied to a cop I could be put in jail for a long time. I strongly believe that this cop (probably a Christian) lied to and manipulated me. And the sad part is that he will not go to jail like I would for a lie. (Note: Even if there is such a law I find it in conflict with natural law and thus null and void.)
This officer later gave away to someone else that they know who I am (the confrontation was only about power as it usually is.) and that the police department in conjunction with the Feds and their drug money suspect that I grow marijuana because the plant lights are on garden plants till 1 am. I don't know about you, but I think we should pay more taxes to hire more of these public servants so that they can keep an eye on us tomato growers and write tickets for more brake lights being out rather that doing what they are supposed to be doing. (Protecting our God given Inalienable rights.)
He also made a veiled threat as he walked off: "I know where to find you." Which was obvious -- and I could not construe as anything other than a threat from an out of control public servant that thought that I was the servant.
I finally got an answer about the law from this cops supervisor. And the reply indicates to me that not only is this officer a liar and lacking in character, his boss lies and is lacking in character also. Why do we hire these kinds of people for these positions? It seem to be this way in every town across Amerika. Why do we live with people of such low character lording over us?
Does this person really believe his own hyperbole?
He contradicts himself in his own reply...
Here is a snippet of the response that I indirectly got:
"As to the accusation that Officer XXXX "lied" to Mr. XXXX, he did not, in fact, do so. Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 84, Section 84.710 states, "[Police officers] shall also have the power to stop any person abroad whenever there is reasonable ground to suspect that he is committing, has committed or is about to commit a crime and demand of him his name, address, business abroad, and whither he is going."
Then he quotes a law that requires me to be suspected of a crime to substantiate his officers actions!
This incident has made me look into starting local online newspapers in conjunction with other people:

I have also discovered this great project that aims to hold police accountable for their behavior.

Here is a snippet of the response that I indirectly got:
"Mr. XXXX was a witness to an event of yelling and screaming that was called in to the police by a resident of the same apartment building in which he lives. He was approached, not as a suspect, but rather as a witness to what happened."
He states once that I was not the suspect in a crime.
"Officer Wright noted in his report that he "did not have reasonable suspicion that [Mr. Tittiger] was involved" in the original altercation, so he did not press the matter further."
He states the second time that I was not the suspect in a crime.
"As to the accusation that Officer XXXX "lied" to Mr. XXXX, he did not, in fact, do so. Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 84, Section 84.710 states, "[Police officers] shall also have the power to stop any person abroad whenever there is reasonable ground to suspect that he is committing, has committed or is about to commit a crime and demand of him his name, address, business abroad, and whither he is going."
Then he quotes a law that requires me to be suspected of a crime to substantiate his officers actions!
The fact still remains that this officer threatened to arrest me using a law that he could not quote and which after all did not apply to this situation. Shouldn't police know the law? And if they do not, should they go around badgering citizens with the intent of violating their rights by making up laws as they go?

Conversation with a contemporary Christain concerning morality.
This back and forth originated in the comment section of a blog about the tyranny of the FDA over our food production. Here are the posts. I will let you draw your own conclusions.
Myself:
Myself:
Unfortunately Christians are usually the biggest supporters of breaking the ten commandments, here in the “bible belt.” I meet few if any “Christians” that see a thing wrong with stealing off of their neighbors in order to send their kids to school.
Or using the threat of death by government to regulate what his neighbor puts into his body. (They call it government protecting us.)
“The government is of God” and can do no wrong the story often goes…. Despite how many people the government kills in the process.

“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” — Thomas Jefferson

“The government is of God” and can do no wrong the story often goes…. Despite how many people the government kills in the process.
—————————————
“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” — Thomas Jefferson
Susan:
Our government is not of God anymore, has not been for a long time. Not all Christians steal from others, that’s like saying all farmers own a John Deere. I think Christians as well as the rest of America needs to be more vocal about the crimes being waged by our government on small farms. We also need to capture the news media somehow, it fails to be news anymore it is censured watered down liberal crap that has too much political bias. We need to do all we can, call the new stations, call radio stations, make sure that everyone starts talking about this. We need to email our friends and neighbors, post on Facebook and tweet every chance we get. If we can somehow shine the light on the evil, it will slink back under the rock from whence it came.
Myself:
I wish you luck Susan. I am frustrated to say the least.
Most people both Christians and non-Christians are so brain dead that they think the purpose of government is to be our mommy and protect us. They are thus stuck in the trap of arguing for instance that Raw milk is safe and should be legal, Yadda yadda yadda….
WRONG ARGUMENT!
We need to make the argument that USDA is unconstitutional and that any mandatory organization like it has to violate our inalienable rights by definition. I can decide what I put in my body thank you. Proper legitimate government should be protecting my inalienable right to make that choice, not criminally violating it.

I wish this forum were threaded as I would like to expound about Christians stealing as it is a pet peeve of mine and most Christians are so dumbed down they do not even know when they are stealing. Ponder what you are doing to your neighbor when you borrow money for a house and it is created out of thin air. Think hard and long.
In hindsight perhaps this does relate to the food/milk issue as the same thing is happening when Christians again do not see the shocking immorality of deciding what their neighbor can or can not put into their body.
Thank God for Amish neighbors and raw milk.

Susan:
I think it would be hard not to know when you are stealing, and I don’t know about Christians in your neck of the woods but speaking for myself, being a Christian does not mean we are perfect. In fact the very nature of being a Christian acknowledges the fact that we are not perfect and we do sin. I believe when you become a Christian you try to be a better person because Jesus died for us and did so because of the sin we commit. It is not a faith based on believing our good works get us to heaven but that God’s grace given through Jesus, saves us in spite of ourselves. Christians make mistakes, just like other people because we are just people, not smarter, not better, just people. Where is your condemnation for the people that have stolen that are not Christians? Stealing is wrong no matter if you are a Christian, a Buddhist, an atheist or just a plain ole John Smith that doesn’t know what he believes.
I’m not really sure what being a Christian has to do with the topic of Government control over our food sources, but you are right, Joe, the issue is stopping the FDA and the USDA from the control they shouldn’t have. Big government is never the answer.
P.S. The Amish are Christians too

Hi again Susan!
My point has absolutely nothing to do with man’s imperfect sinful nature. It has to do with the fact that they don’t even recognize their actions as sinful in the first place. That is a HUGE point and difference IMHO.
Most Christians do evil and do not have the analytical ability to recognize the fact, and that is what is happening with many peoples support of the FDA. i.e. If you can not figure out that stealing from your neighbor to send your kids to school is stealing. Or that delegating the job of stealing to a politician is still stealing. If they can’t recognize these “obvious” immoralities then how can they recognize some of the more subtle ones such as telling your neighbor that he can’t put certain things in his body or that borrowing money from fractional reserve bankers are both immoral acts also?
For those of you that are wondering why borrowing money from a fractional reserve banker is unambiguously immoral, consider that the act of creating money out of nothing is the very definition of inflation. So if your borrowing causes your retired neighbors savings to go from being worth $200,000 to $100,000 over a ten year period, you have taken part in stealing his wealth just as surely as if you robbed him at gun point.
This is undeniable truth yet I have never ever heard a another Christian bring up this point. They do not even realize what they are doing. Thank government schools I guess.
Take care.

Susan said: “Where is your condemnation for the people that have stolen that are not Christians?”
———————-
Susan, I condemn stealing or other immoralities no matter who the perpetrator may be. I just hold fellow Christians to a much higher standard. Especially when they willfully and forcefully demand the right to steal and threaten to kill their neighbors with the force of government if they are not allowed to continue stealing.
When you get down to the final analysis that is what Christians in contemporary Ameika do for a living. They go to church on Sunday and then every day of the week they use every tool available to them including governmental threat of death to make sure they can violate every God given right they can of their fellow Christians.
In my opinion they substantiate their evil by their misinterpretation of Romans 13 as meaning that no matter what kind of evil government that THEY create (there is no longer a Caesar) that it is of God and therefore it’s OK.
Be blessed
You said: “When it comes to other people’s sins and mistakes I think it is best to leave it up to God to convict people of what they are doing wrong.”
So Susan if I heard you right, and correct me if I am wrong, you think that courts should be abolished and all laws for crimes ranging from burglary to rape should be taken off the books because this is Gods job not mans “to convict people of what they are doing wrong.” And if this is not what you meant I fail to see how I am supposed to differentiate between an individual stealing from me at gun point and someone using the violence of government to steal from me? Is every evil done by government immune from being judged as wrong in your world view?
What about Stalin starving 30 million Christians in the Ukraine? Was that OK because a government did it? I suppose we should not have had the Holocaust war trials because a government gassed the Jews so it was OK and we should have left the judgement up to God.
I am not being flippant I really do not follow or understand your logic at all.
You also said:
“How can we show God’s love when we are so angry over the injustices done to us by others real or imaginary? The greatest injustice was done to Christ, yet his words were “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” How can we not forgive our neighbor after so much forgiveness has been shown to us?”
Susan forgiveness does not absolve the perpetrator of evil from justice. Again in addition to forgiveness do you want to get rid of all criminal laws? Even with God’s forgiveness for us he still holds us accountable for what we do. Civilized man has done this through out history.
My point is that just because you call yourself government should not absolve you from justice. Nor should something being “legal” absolve an individual or government from justice, it that act is wrong. Did you know that every act that Hitler committed in Germany, including gassing the Jews, was legal?
In the same way my neighbors stealing from me to educate their children is wrong regardless of it’s being legal. It most certainly is not lawful. Do you understand the difference between legal and lawful?
The FDA arresting people for dealing in milk is wrong regardless of the law says. It may be legal but it is not lawful.
I hope this makes some sense to you. I am not the most articulate person all the time but I am much clearer in writing than verbally.
This may be redundant but I see the act of Christians turning a blind eye to the evil of stealing of their neighbors assets to educate their children as no different than if they turned a blind eye to a child molester loose in the neighborhood. As I have asserted before most people these days can not even reason logically.
Be blessed Susan
Myself:
Hi again Susan we have to quite meeting like this, :-)
Let me regress a bit. When this country was founded we had something like a 95% literacy rate (the highest the world has ever known) and it cost money to educate your children if you sent them to a real school. The literacy rate has never again reached this high level.
Around 1850 the industrial revolution was getting started and factories needed workers who would sit in one place all day long and do as they were told. (Exactly the opposite of your average rural person at the time.) So to solve this problem, powerful people such as the Rockefeller family copied the Prussian educational model and brought it to America. The entire purpose of the Prussian educational model was to get people to do as they were told and not to ask questions - it did that very well and it has worked very well to that end in America also. So the powers that be, got mandatory educational laws passed. The main reasoning for them was so that they would have an army of robotic people to staff their factories.
How to pay for these mandatory schools? Well the way it has worked out in America is that they instituted the property tax.
One thing this did was bring about the first plank of the communist manifesto - the abolition of private property. If you have to pay rent on your property and can loose it if you don't pay the rent then there is really no such thing as owning property. Right?
This is where Christians get lost. They attend churches where the pastor tells them that anything government does is OK. Well since when is stealing off if your neighbor to educate your kids OK with God? It sure was not when this country was founded. If this is OK then having the property tax pay for $50,000 college educations of everyone's children would also be OK. Right? What's the difference?
How about taxing everyone's property so that every child also gets a first car and a first home? Are you getting the idea? The end does NOT and never will justify the means. It is not my legal duty to educate your child or buy him food or clothes, or cars or homes. It may be my moral duty to help the less fortunate but that is not what we are talking about here.
Here are some resources for you.
It was serendipity that Reverend Chuck Baldwin wrote a column about Christians following the evils of the State this week:
http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=3798
It is also possible today to get a much much better education than offered in any government school and even on most colleges for under $500 a year. Yes per year. And you can educate a dozen of your kids for this same low price.

Susan:
Wow it sounds like you have a whole lot going on where you are, I can’t answer for anyone else, but what I can answer for are my own actions. When it comes to other people’s sins and mistakes I think it is best to leave it up to God to convict people of what they are doing wrong. I can say that I believe something is wrong but there are many admonitions in the bible about looking at our own sins before pointing out the sins of others. In my own walk I have noticed that God works with each of us as individuals. He may be correcting me on a sin of my own, while working on my husband on a sin of his that is entirely different than mine. Thank God that he loves us enough to do this, but we can get so wrapped up in what He is now showing us that we decide everyone else needs to be straightened out as well. That is not our job. Our job is to be the best Christian we can be, try to lead by example, and when we stumble, ask for forgiveness, get up and try not to trip over the same sin again. How can we show God’s love when we are so angry over the injustices done to us by others real or imaginary? The greatest injustice was done to Christ, yet his words were “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” How can we not forgive our neighbor after so much forgiveness has been shown to us?
I talk about the health benefits of raw milk and organics, I talk about the problems with the FDA and USDA, and most people look at me like I’m a little screwy. I just keep talking, I figure if I talk enough maybe someone will hear a blurb on the TV about Monsanto or run across something online and it will spark their interest enough to learn more about what that goofy girl was talking about. Ask someone if they know what a GMO is, most people will look at you with the deer in the headlight look, they have no clue. We can’t fault them if they don’t know……..we have to just keep talking.

Susan:
I do believe people should be held accountable for their actions, I believe in capitol punishment (now to open a huge can of worms,lol)
Let me give you a for instance so you can understand what I am trying to say. If someone broke into my house and killed my husband. I would want to see them brought to justice. I would go to the trial and hope that he were found guilty. I would however try my best to someday forgive the person that did that. Not for him, for me, for my own peace. The government has passed a law making abortion legal right? I don’t believe in it. I think it is morally wrong and will do what I have within my power to do (vote, pray, speak out etc…) to try to get that law repealed. If my neighbor is an abortion doctor I would probably have many discussions trying to dissuade him. He would know my opinion, but I will not condemn him for it is God’s place to judge him, not mine. If he needs a loaf of bread I will give it to him.

Bankster of America alert
I do not know if you have ever heard stories of ATM machines shorting people with the usual ending being that there is no recourse. I have avoided ATM machines like the plague for this very reason. I have had a Walmart electronic checkout try to short me one time but that did not fly as there were too many people around for them not to rectify the situation. I had an ATM in a Walmart short me severely once but when they opened the machine (They had had this happen before.) they found the money jammed in the internal pathways.
Now it seems like they have a new angle of stealing from customers. ( As if the double $30 bounce fees that are calculated with software to create the maximum amount of bounces are not enough.) Now they just create an amount that you did not withdraw and you are not aware until later when they say you withdrew a different amount.
I know for a fact I did not withdraw what they said I withdrew because I was trying to pay my rent without driving into Springfield MO and the machine would not let me withdraw the amount of my rent, so I withdrew less. However tonight checking my bank statement it says I withdrew the amount that I was refused.
I am going to try and find some recourse and I doubt if I find any.
Please let me know if you have heard of this happening before or know of any recourse.
It seems like the pit of vipers is not content with merely counter-fitting money and charging interest on it. Now that they have electronic everything all they have to do is to falsify some numbers and they can steal even more off of you.
** I thought I was done when I just discovered that BOA is now charging you $2 to use other banks ATM's in addition to the fees that the other bank charges.
I suggest the movie the money masters if you do not yet know how evile these people are.
