    "I didn't have a high-profile role in the campaign; I worked behind the scenes drafting policy documents.  But I traveled to Denver to speak at a policy debate held during the Democratic National Convention, and spoke at a Richmond, Va., campaign event alongside Google CEO Eric Schmidt."
     "The Obama campaign ran on the hard work of many thousands of people like me.  But President Obama won't be able to depend on the same kind of help in 2012.  Because, it turns out, Hillary Clinton was right."
     "Hillary, I'm sorry for not listening to you back in 2008.  But perhaps you'll give me another chance.  Resign as secretary of state, and run against Obama in 2012.  I will work my heart out for you.  And I bet that millions of other angry Democrats will be with me."

"The Sun Never Sets On The British Welfare System" (Ann Coulter, We.10Aug11)

The Sun Never Sets On The British Welfare System

  By Ann Coulter, Human Events, We.10Aug11

     Those of you following the barbaric rioting in Britain will not have failed to notice that a sizable proportion of the thugs are white, something not often seen in this country.
     Not only that, but in a triumph of feminism, a lot of them are girls.  Even the "disabled" (according to the British benefits system) seem to have miraculously overcome their infirmities to dash out and steal a few TVs.
     Congratulations, Britain!  You've barbarized your citizenry, without regard to race, gender or physical handicap!
     With a welfare system far more advanced than the United States, the British have achieved the remarkable result of turning entire communities of ancestral British people into tattooed, drunken brutes.
     I guess we now have the proof of what conservatives have been saying since forever: Looting is a result of liberal welfare policies.  And Britain is in the end stages of the welfare state.
     In 2008, a 9-year-old British girl, Shannon Matthews, disappeared on her way home from a school trip.  The media leapt on the case -- only to discover that Shannon was one of seven children her mother, Karen, had produced with five different men.
     The first of these serial sperm-donors explained: "Karen just goes from one bloke to the next, uses them to have a kid, grabs all the child benefits and moves on."
     Poor little Shannon eventually turned up at the home of one of her many step-uncles -- whose ex-wife, by the way, was the mother of six children with three different fathers.
     (Is Father's Day celebrated in England? If so, how?)
     The Daily Mail (London) traced the family's proud Anglo ancestry of stable families back hundreds of years.  The Nazi war machine couldn't break the British, but the modern welfare state has.
     A year earlier, in 2007, another product of the new order, Fiona MacKeown, took seven of her eight children (by five different fathers) and her then-boyfriend, on a drug-fueled, six-month vacation to the Indian island of Goa.  The trip was paid for -- like everything else in her life -- with government benefits.
     (When was the last time you had a free, six-month vacation?  I'm drawing a blank, too.)
     While in Goa, Fiona took her entourage on a side-trip, leaving her 15-year-old daughter, Scarlett Keeling, in the capable hands of a 25-year-old local whom Scarlett had begun sleeping with, perhaps hoping to get a head-start on her own government benefits.  A few weeks later, Scarlett turned up dead, full of drugs, raped and murdered.
     Scarlett's estranged stepfather later drank himself to death, while her brother Silas announced on his social networking page: "My name is Si, n I spend most my life either out wit mates get drunk or at partys, playing rugby or going to da beach (pretty s**t really)."
          It's a wonder that someone like Silas, who has never worked, and belongs to a family in which no one has ever worked, can afford a cellphone for social networking.  No, actually, it's not.
     Britain has a far more redistributive welfare system than France, which is why France's crime problem is mostly a matter of Muslim immigrants, not French nationals.  Meanwhile, England's welfare state is fast returning the native population to its violent 18th-century highwaymen roots.
     Needless to say, Britain leads Europe in the proportion of single mothers and, as a consequence, also leads or co-leads the European Union in violent crime, alcohol and drug abuse, obesity and sexually transmitted diseases.
     But liberal elites here and in Britain will blame anything but the welfare state they adore.  They drone on about the strict British class system or the lack of jobs or the nation's history of racism.
     None of that explains the sad lives of young Shannon Matthews and Scarlett Keeling, with their long English ancestry and perfect Anglo features.
     Democrats would be delighted if violent mobs like those in Britain arose here -- perhaps in Wisconsin!  That would allow them to introduce yet more government programs staffed by unionized public employees, as happened after the 1992 L.A. riots and the 1960s race riots, following the recommendations of the Kerner Commission.
     MSNBC might even do the unthinkable and offer Al Sharpton his own TV show.  (Excuse me -- someone's trying to get my attention ... WHAT?)
     Inciting violent mobs is the essence of the left's agenda: Promote class warfare, illegitimate children and an utterly debased citizenry.
     Like the British riot girls interviewed by the BBC, the Democrats tell us "all of this happened because of the rich people."
     We're beginning to see the final result of that idea in Britain.  The welfare state creates a society of beasts.  Meanwhile, nonjudgmental elites don't dare condemn the animals their programs have created.
     Rioters in England are burning century-old family businesses to the ground, stealing from injured children lying on the sidewalks and forcing Britons to strip to their underwear on the street.
     I keep reading that it's because they don't have jobs -- which they're obviously anxious to hold.  Or someone called them a "kaffir."  Or their social services have been reduced.  Or their Blackberries made them do it.  Or they disapprove of a referee's call in a Manchester United​ game.
     A few well-placed rifle rounds, and the rioting would end in an instant.  A more sustained attack on the rampaging mob might save England from itself, finally removing shaved-head, drunken parasites from the benefits rolls that Britain can't find the will to abolish on moral or utilitarian grounds.  We can be sure there's no danger of killing off the next Winston Churchill​ or Edmund Burke​ in these crowds.
     But like Louis XVI, British authorities are paralyzed by their indifference to their own civilization.  A half-century of berating themselves for the crime of being British has left them morally defenseless.  They see nothing about England worth saving, certainly not worth fighting for -- which is fortunate since most of their cops don't have guns.
     This is how civilizations die. It can happen overnight, as it did in Revolutionary France​.  If Britain of 1939 were composed of the current British population, the entirety of Europe would today be doing the "Heil Hitler" salute and singing the "Horst Wessel Song."

Prepare - "The Natives Are Restless" (under-reported news)

"It is precisely this clinging to victimhood as a means of demonstrating one’s virtue and advancing one’s well-being that has led us into a society in which welfare and quotas are "civil rights," government handouts are "entitlements," and payment to girls having babies out of wedlock are "compassionate," while hard-working, ambitious people are "greedy," punishment of crime is "oppression," and an independent thinker who stands for courage and self-reliance is dismissed as an "Uncle Tom."

From: Lee Bellinger Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 Subject: I'm ratcheting up to help you get ready for anything...

Recent Events Have Sharply Refocused My Attention
Urgent Dispatch from Lee Bellinger

     This time it's personal. Let me explain what recently transpired just steps from my own front door... why this incident has raised my level of concern about your personal security as well as my own... and how this and similar events have led me to today's SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
     I am blessed to live in the beautiful southern city of Charlotte, North Carolina.  Life is good here.  The weather is temperate, and the city has just the right balance of cosmopolitan flair and true southern charm.
     But what happened here in the Queen City just weeks ago, on an early summer weekend, came at me like a cold slap in the face.
     Charlotte police in riot gear had to quell a disturbance of hundreds of violent party crashers – leaving some 70 arrested and one dead.  Our fair city awoke the next morning to entire blocks roped off by yellow police-line tape as detectives worked to determine who spoiled our downtown family-friendly event and turned it into a crime scene of mayhem and death.
     "Chronic unemployment is spilling over into civil unrest..."
     But I don't need to see the police blotter to understand the forces at work here.  Chronic unemployment is spilling over into civil unrest, as idled workers team with those who are simply too lazy to work and act out in rage and anger against those they perceive as privileged.
     As this latest incident of social unraveling played out right here at my own doorstep, I found my attention very sharply refocused.  When it happens in your own town, you realize that yes, the you-know-what has officially hit the fan!  The need for preparedness – for having a personal "Plan B" is now a matter of urgency.
     Eerily similar scenes of rioting and violence occurred throughout the Eastern Seaboard that same weekend, from Long Beach, NY to Nashville, TN.  It's a warning sign of pent-up rage as a disturbing sense of entitlement and permanently high unemployment sinks in. Consider:

• In South Beach, Miami, permanent residents who dared to object to widespread vandalism and violence from the annual "Urban Weekend" crowd are being vilified as racists, not victims.


• In Myrtle Beach, another absolutely charming town here in the Carolinas, the annual Black Bike Week gathering led to 8 hours of violence, including multiple robberies and stabbings.  Objections by locals who had the courage to complain about bloodshed in their streets have not only fallen on deaf ears, but have been dismissed as bigotry.


• In Nashville, special police units had to break up violent, unruly crowds who had taken over a local water park, Wave Country.

How many times have we all tuned into a news report covering the latest disaster or brutal crime spree only to hear victims, neighbors, and bystanders say:

• "I never imagined it could happen here."


• "I thought these things only happened to someone else."


• "Who dreamed this could happen in my own back yard?"

     You know, I've been observing and writing about news and current events in this country for a quarter of a century now.  And, as deadly serious as things have become in our beloved nation in just the last two or three years, I like to think that I've just about seen and heard it all – that nothing is going to actually rattle me.  Then BOOM – it happened virtually in front of my very own doorstop.

"Greater self-reliance and being ready for anything is a new skill set that smart Americans must tackle and master."

Such disturbances by themselves mean little – until you actually do the work to connect the dots. Which is probably why the stodgy national media largely ignored these "local" news stories.  Yet for those of us with our eyes open, there are ample warnings out there that America's social fabric is coming undone.  Greater self-reliance and being ready for anything is a new skill set that smart Americans must tackle and master.

The Age of Preparedness is at Hand

     In the wake of the recent street riot here in Charlotte, I've already redoubled my own personal preparedness efforts.  I'll tell you more about my own personal preparations in an upcoming issue.  And because I don't want to keep you waiting for your first "official" issue of my Ready-for-Anything Report, let me spell out some simple steps you can and must begin to take now to protect your interests and those of your family:

Stash some cash: Keep at least $1,000 in small denominations around the house or other secure location.  Small bills are preferable.

Stash some silver: I strongly recommend you obtain a stash of one-ounce silver rounds or pre-1965 dimes, quarters, or half dollars from a reputable bullion dealer.  Our sister company, Independent Living Bullion (1-800-800-1865), has great products and very competitive prices.  If you don't want to obtain them from my in-house service, that's okay by me!  Any reputable bullion dealer who does not try to upsell you on overpriced "collectibles" is fine.  What matters is that you take action, not from whom you buy them.

Stash some food: I recently produced a FREE report on how Independent Living subscribers can SAVE UP TO 40% on their food bills!  If you are not following these simple steps, you are not only leaving big money on the table, you are leaving yourself at the mercy of the vulnerable food supply chain which stocks your local grocery store.  You can access this great free report right here.

Install an alarm system in your home: Home break-ins and home invasions are on the rise.  An alarm system will encourage thieves to look elsewhere for their next score.

"What you don't want to have to do is fight crowds to get to your pharmacy, or get groceries, or get water."

Get a gun for home defense: I realize that not everyone is comfortable with a gun in the house.  My suggestion is to get this essential component of home defense anyway.  The National Rifle Association offers great safety courses for beginners.  And if your state has a concealed carry law, get a permit.  Pepper spray isn't a bad idea to have in a home, car, and purse.

Load up on ammunition: The Obama Administration has taken steps to limit the public's access to ammunition.  There have been shortages as more and more people are stocking up.  I suggest you even consider obtaining an ammo reload kit.

Establish an emergency escape plan: Don't wait for an actual emergency before you work out the details of leaving your home in a hurry.  Make a checklist of travel essentials, place them in a duffel bag, and place it in a closet for immediate departure.  This can also save your life if you decide to stay home and ride it all out.  What you don't want to have to do is fight crowds to get to your pharmacy, or get groceries, or get water.  Establish an emergency meeting place for your family to regroup, and put the written plan as well as the routes in the glove box of every family car.

The Bottom Line: I Will Help You Get Ready for Anything

Personal preparedness is the wave of the future.  Being ready for anything liberates you from the herd.  You will not only sleep better at night, you will in fact be safer.

"Being ready for anything liberates you from the herd."

Yours in Savvy Preparedness, Lee Bellinger, Publisher: Independent Living and Money, Metals, and Mining

o'welfare - Where Oh Where to put o'who?'s picture?

 From: bb Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 Subject:  Where Oh Where---to put obama's picture?

George  Washington, our nation's first President and leader of the  American Revolution!

Abe Lincoln, honorable leader who  pulled our nation through its darkest time!

Alexander Hamilton, founding  father, first Secretary of the Treasury and leader of the Constitutional  Convention! 

Andrew  Jackson, "Old Hickory " fought the British in New  Orleans.

Ulysses Grant, Union army general,  led the North through the Civil  War!

Ben  Franklin, genius inventor, political theorist and leading author of the  Constitution.

Finally, we have someone to put on the food  stamp!

Obama's policies have put more people on welfare than any  president before him, so this placement is most appropriate.  Unlike the  Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an "honor" he richly  deserves.

o'redistribute - Poverty in America

From: baja Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 Subject: Poverty in America

Study: Americans "in Poverty" Are Seldom Poor

     Most of the Americans the federal government defines as "in poverty" are "not poor in any ordinary sense of the term," according to a new study - especially when compared to the poor in less developed countries.

     "To the average American, the word "poverty" implies significant material deprivation, an inability to provide a family with adequate nutritious food, reasonable shelter, and clothing," the study from The Heritage Foundation states.

     "The actual living conditions of America's poor are far different from these images."

     The Census Bureau reports that there are 43 million Americans living in poverty.  To help them, taxpayers spend some $900 billion a year in federal and state dollars - over $20,000 for each person deemed poor - through more than 70 means-tested programs providing cash, food, housing, medical care and more.

     But according to the government's own survey data, in the past decade the average household defined as poor by the government lived in a house or apartment with air conditioning and cable TV, The Heritage Foundation study found.

     The household had a car - one-third had two or more cars -  two color televisions, a DVD player, and a microwave.

     "The home of the average poor family was in good repair and not overcrowded," the study observes.

     "In fact, the typical poor American had more living space than the average European - average, not poor.

     "When asked, most poor families stated they had sufficient funds during the past year to meet all essential needs."

      Study authors Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield cite U.S. Department of Energy data showing that in 2005, the most recent year on record:

• 62 percent of poor American households had a clothes washer in the home, and 53.2 percent had a clothes dryer.

• 65.1 percent had more than one TV.

• 54.5 percent had a cellular phone.

• 38.2 percent had a personal computer.

• 36.6 percent had an answering machine.

• 29.3 percent had a video game system.

• 25 percent had a dishwasher.

• 5.2 percent had a photocopier - and .6 percent even had a Jacuzzi.

     The study also found that 5.9 percent of households "sometimes" did not have enough food, and just 1.5 percent "often" did not have enough.

"Some poor Americans do experience significant hardships, including temporary food shortages or inadequate housing, but these individuals are a minority within the overall poverty population," the study authors concluded.

     "Poverty remains an issue of serious social concern, but accurate information about that problem is essential in crafting wise public policy. Exaggeration and misinformation about poverty obscure the nature, extent, and causes of real material deprivation, thereby hampering the development of well-targeted, effective programs to reduce the problem."

     Former Congressman Ernest Istook, now a distinguished fellow at The Heritage Foundation, echoed that sentiment in a recent Newsmax blog: "By defining poverty so broadly, we drain resources that instead could be focused on those who truly are in dire straits.   And we spend billions that could be cut from the budget instead."

o'malaise - Economy failing...Nero fiddles.

     With millions of Americans worried about 9.1% unemployment and a sputtering economy, it is shameful that the Democrat leadership in Washington is more concerned about saving the jobs of disgraced Democrat members of Congress.
      The latest example of the Democrats' "jobs we saved" charade is Representative Anthony Weiner.  Just like with Congressmen William Jefferson ($80k in the freezer) and Charlie Rangel (failure to pay taxes) -- Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat leaders' only jobs plan is to save their own jobs.
     Congressman Weiner's actions and deception are unacceptable and he should resign.  We do not need an investigation to know he lied and acted inappropriately, we need a resignation.  Either Leader Pelosi and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz believe members of Congress are held to a different set of standards or they believe these actions demand his resignation.
