I am now officially retired and will have more time to write and do those things I find that make life so interesting and joyful.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile the world is falling apart faster, the "Chess Men" running things behind the scene are busy little beavers and politics seems to rule the airways; as if nothing else in the world is happening.  Geezzz....  I think I will just go for a motorcycle ride with my husband and spread some love around wherever I can.

He was explaining how Congress "really" works and why all our e-mails to them don't really matter.&lt;br /&gt;Here's his example:  take CAFTA legislation; no problem passing it in the Senate but in the House a few Republicans were bucking the system over it. One vote was needed to pass it; Rep. Robert Hays (R) was voting "no".  At midnight, Dennis Hastert (Speaker of the House) met with him behind closed doors, after which he changed his vote!  Voila!  Then all of a sudden the First Lady went to his home state to do a Fund Raiser for him and all sorts of corporate entities (i.e. WalMart, Oracle, GM, etc.) donated to his campaign.  Hastert gave him $10,000.  And that folks....is how Congress "Really" works.  Maybe it's just me.....but I think that is one reason the Tea Party people got fed up and rose up.  Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents - we are all fed up with the shenanigans going on behind our political backs.

You know, the ones making it all work; the ones who go do their jobs everyday and try to feed their families; the ones who obey the laws and try to keep the government as their servant and not their master.&lt;br /&gt;   Our "leaders" in Washington are living in a different world than the people.  They keep trying to tell us that there is no inflation or it is minimal....yea....right.  And the Titanic never really sank.  I go to the grocery store every week and get gas too.  Uh...I have noticed everything has doubled in the last couple of years.  But...there is no inflation.  My "dollar" won't buy half of what I bought 10 years ago.  Contrary to popular belief, We the Sheeple out here notice that the leaders are simply re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.  It will all go down soon just from the "math" of debt.

All these people were not old by any standards; one was 27 years old who died of a staph infection that could have been prevented if taken care of sooner.  Loosing a child is a horrible experience (2 of the funerals were children dying before the parents).  One thing about it is - we hug our son more now and my husband called him to tell him how much he loves him and that we are so proud of him (he had a rough beginning but is great now).&lt;br /&gt;   Don't take your life for granted; live everyday as if it were your last or your loved ones last day because it just may be that way.

However, the news keeps crashing in on my radar.  Our Economic policies and Global policies are headed for the perfect storm it seems.  If you have an ounce of any common sense and have possibly studied some history, then you know that spending money you don't have finally bankrupts you.  Also, as the Bible says the "borrower becomes slave to the lender" per King Solomon.  I see all the Economic wizards and talking heads on TV pontificating this plan or that; well....when all is said and done...."in the end Math wins."  I heard one wise man say that on one of the shows several months ago and my ears pricked up.  Wow, some wisdom and true common sense....go figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally Trillions of dollars of derivatives out there that haven't even begun to unwind.  I just hope we are ready for it all to come crashing down, because it will as long as we are re-arranging the chairs on the Titanic.  Some people are waking up, finally.  I just hope it isn't too late to soften the blow.  We will have to just see.  Meanwhile....I will be off swimming, jet skiing, motorcycle riding and going to my husband's Band's gigs.  I for one intend to enjoy my life no matter what.

Back in 2007 I realized what was going on with the Stock Market and World money system.  I told my friends and family - Beware the "money changers".  I got out of all my stocks and went to Gold and Silver in 2008 before the "crash" and I made money.  The Yen carry trade was unwinding and that was a sign that the gig was over (for those of you who are not familiar with stock market lingo - that means the money changers at the top, aka banksters, saw the pyramid schemes unwinding).&lt;br /&gt;   I love Capitalism but unethical corporations and Hedge Fund managers, etc. have killed it.  The corruption is rampant now; the ugly truths are seeping out at the seams; backroom trading by Congressmen, Goldman Sachs ties with Federal Reserve ties with IMF ties, etc...etc...all the way up to the Trilateral Commission and beyond.  Are we having fun yet?  I know when the market plunged yesterday, I made money.  Gold went up and many commentators talked about Gold being the new reserve currency worldwide; duh...it always has been, you just didn't know it because you aren't part of the "Elite" banksters.  Remember:  Gold is the currency of Kings, Silver the currency of Gentleman, trade the currency of peasants and DEBT is the currency of SLAVES.

Bill White just wants the Government to give us everything!  More technology for the students, he said in his acceptance speech, will save the drop out rate.  Right...how about charter schools or vouchers buddy?  Oh no, can't do that - gives the sheeple too much control.&lt;br /&gt;   Debra Medina did take a healthy chunk out of the race but not enough to cause a run off.  I for one would have loved to have seen that.  As an Independent voter I go for the one who is going to take the least out of my pocket and give me the most freedom.  Looks like I don't have a candidate to vote for now, since both Governor candidates just want to spend and take control (rhetoric aside; it's all political speech for the sheeple).  Despite Perry's speeches he is a Neo-Conservative (that's a Fabian Socialist in sheeps clothing; look it up).  Always look at the record of what a politician DOES, not what they say.  I learned that the hard way.&lt;br /&gt;   Despite all this I decided to attend my precinct meeting just to see how many concerned voters showed up; well...4 plus the Chairman and Secretary were there in a district of a possible 3,000 voters, to select 27 representatives to the County convention; and this is representative government?  To top it off I was selected to go to the County Convention!  Wow...what a surprise...  I am going to go as an Independent (they said I could as long as I voted in their Primary and was attending the Precinct meeting).  If nothing else, maybe I can prode the bear a little!

The deliberate dismantling of our "way" of government (Constitutional Republic) is at hand.  While watching an interview with David Horowitz on a news show the other day, I was struck with his simple evaluation of the whole problem we are facing today:  Progressives want to "change the world" and Conservatives want to "corral" the Federal government.  Boy, that is it in a nutshell!  There is no way we can have "bipartisan" compromise if that means we are changing this Republic into a "world changing" global, socialist government.  The founders of this great nation understood the idea that the STATE does not give us our rights - God does.  The new left progressives and the right progressives (ex. McCain's daughter) don't subscribe to that idea; we are all just citizens (slaves) for "social justice" to service the State.  Well, count me out!  I am still a sovereign of the Republic, thank you very much.  A lot of us "sheeple" out here are sick and tired of our supposed "representatives" in Congress running roughshod over our sovereign rights and freedoms in the name of "security".  Some Democrats and Republicans are finally waking up a little - it's about time!  The Tea Party movement is full of people who get this - right and left.  You may see more conservatives involved because that is where their ideas of government come from in the first place - corral it for God's sake!  Government is not the answer to our problems!  The Law (Constitution) is our standard.&lt;br /&gt;    How long will we put up with this?  A revolution of ideas is at hand, only this time it means the death of a nation without firing a shot.  I am sure you have not been taught the real history of this Republic if you were brainwashed in our government schools; did you know that 29 of the 56 men signing the Declaration of Independence were pastors?  Did you know the whole idea of a form of government where the people get their rights from God, free enterprise and a Federal Government held accountable to the people came from....the Bible?  Yea!  Look it up and do some study for yourself.   (www.wallbuilders.com)&lt;br /&gt;    The idea of government by Divine Right of the King was turned upside down by our founders when they chose our type of government.  Making the STATE your tyrant or King is just as bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"In fact, James I, in addition to using brutal persecutions and murders to help combat the theological teachings and writings leveled against him, even ordered Church leaders (recall that James I was the official head of the English Church) to concoct two new “church” doctrines: (1) the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Divine Right of Kings (that kings stand in the place of God, representing Him to the people&lt;/span&gt;), and (2) Complete Submission and Non-Resistance to Authority (that because kings have an allegedly Divine position, they are not to be resisted – ever, for any reason). Not surprisingly, Reformation followers openly opposed James’ “irrational and unscriptural doctrines,” &lt;a name="R8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=24548#FN8"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  thus prompting him to level even harsher persecutions against them, including mutilation, hanging, and disemboweling."   from wallbuilders.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Reformation (break from the Catholic Church) in Europe was one of the main causes of our rebellion against the "King".  I bet you weren't taught that in school!  Our whole idea of schools were started so the people could read and study the Bible.  Boy, have we fallen a long way from our roots.  We invited God out of our civil discourse and voila...here we are wallowing in moral depravity and corruption.  In 1644 a Scottish theologian, Samuel Rutherford, wrote a book called "Lex Rex" - the law is King and not vice versa.  He was charged with high treason (during the reign of Bloody Mary); his book was banned.  He died before his trial.  We need another Samuel Rutherford for today or maybe you could read his book?  Get copies and distribute them to your children to read?  Inform the sheeple? Ya think!  Ignorance can be cured but stupidity is forever.  Get informed sheeple - the war is on - vote!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-5266933744756559893?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/5266933744756559893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=5266933744756559893&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/5266933744756559893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/5266933744756559893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2010/02/change-world-or-corral-government.html' title='Change the World or Corral the Government'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMd9Cql270A/S3bw1eFaNjI/AAAAAAAAACw/2m209KtrZRQ/s72-c/election.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-8135846389719410863</id><published>2009-12-18T08:58:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T09:05:46.976-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Reflections'/><title type='text'>HARD CANDY CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Despite all that is going on in the world and the good ole USA with the economy and corruption like I have never seen before, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas anyway.  It is a hard candy Christmas for a lot of people this year, including our family.  We didn't buy presents this year; instead we have stuffed animals under our Tree each with a name on them.  These are family and friends who need prayer for desperate situations.  All we want for Christmas is for these people to be healed and saved.  We have an addictions ministry called "Cracked Pots" where we help people find the real answer to their addictions - and it isn't the 12 steps per se.  Only Jesus Christ offers a totally new nature and transformation from within by his Holy Spirit; I know because I have experienced that miracle myself.  I am a healed Alcoholic and my son is a healed drug addict - all through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

I swear every time I look at the so called "news" on TV I feel like I am living in a virtual reality game or something.  I am amazed at how fast we are going downhill economically and culturally.  However, it doesn't really surprise me; what do we expect when we take moral laws out of government and schools?  God has been legislated/educated out of our society for many years now and look what we have now - violence, disobedience to parents, lovers of selves, greed and corruption at the highest levels of society and government.  Are we having fun yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone's values are going to rule our "sandbox" we live in today [playground rules]; it used to be the Judeo/Christian God's values; now it is the relativism of the New Age globalists and chaos is raging because no one knows where the actual boundaries are these days.  Families - uh...excuse me....social units - are breaking apart rapidly.  The STATE wants control of your pocketbook and now your body (as in Government Healthcare).  Do we realize that if we allow the STATE to take control of our medical decisions we are giving it the power over our bodies literally?  It is truly a scary thought; my bladder is under government control and I have to ask permission to get a procedure from....the STATE.  That is fascism my friends or socialism or communism whatever brand of State control you want to call it.  I for one believe I get my rights from God and not the State.  I am for a Constitutional Republic with freedom and liberty for all us sovereigns of each State of the Union.  Yes, "sovereigns" I said.  We were never intended to be "citizens" of the federal state.  That is a whole history lesson I can't go into here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the Sheeple had better wake up and smell the Police State that is being built up around us one brick at a time.  Problem is we the people have lost the power in Congress to really effect anything anymore; our so-called "representatives" vote for their own self-interests or agendas.  Ever see the old movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"?  You should rent it - quite enlightening on how the power brokers behind the scenes work and it hasn't changed one bit today.  Well....God help us; He's the only one who can at this point.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-1499028182195651275?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/1499028182195651275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=1499028182195651275&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/1499028182195651275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/1499028182195651275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-we-in-virtual-reality.html' title='Are We in a Virtual Reality?'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-1725183995241491435</id><published>2009-03-06T08:19:00.008-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T13:06:06.436-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Reflections'/><title type='text'>A Different Perspective - Larger View</title><content type='html'>I have been watching the Titanic going down day by day (aka USA) as planned by the great Chess Men.  Now, before you dismiss me as a nut case may I direct you to some real historical facts and books out there that say exactly that - the most telling is Dr. Caroll Quigley's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tradgey and Hope&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;He was a historian who graduated from Harvard then taught at Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown University.  He died in 1977.  President Clinton gave tribute to him in his nomination speech at the Democratic National Convention.  He is the MENTOR of all that want a Global Order established.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Dr. Quigley was one of the insiders of the "secret power structure" (his words, not mine).  He boasted that he had been associated with many of the dynastic families of the super-rich [Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Morgan, Warburg, Hapsburgs, Winsor, etc.].  He had a disagreement with many in that Establishment in that he thought the &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Plan&lt;/span&gt;, as they call it, should be outed and many disagreed.  His books brought out way too many secrets of the Elite Establishment, their plans and control.  Not many people have read his books or even heard of him; thank you government re-education camps for the deliberate dumbing down of America.  It is time you take 5 minutes away from the TV or iPod or Video Game and read a little just so you will understand the bigger agenda going on right now in America and around the World.  Below is a clip from an article I found recently that is brief but thorough on his book.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Wouldn't you like to know the answers to these questions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;1.

It also let out way too many secrets of the global cabal.  I plead with anyone reading this to take time to get the facts; read what the Central Bankers and Dynastic super-rich have planned and are implementing right now.  At least you will understand why your country is being dismanteled and realize the President is just window dressing.  We cannot afford for Americans to be ignorant anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My blog of Sept. 26th has a famous quote from Dr. Quigley; slip down and read it (it's in red).  It should disturb any American who wants to stay free.  What can you do?  Get informed, get out of debt, invest in real assets of value (not dollars), get over the Democrat/Republican gladiator games and hang on for the ride.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-1725183995241491435?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/1725183995241491435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=1725183995241491435&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/1725183995241491435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/1725183995241491435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2009/03/different-perspective-larger-view.html' title='A Different Perspective - Larger View'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-6119103000626976189</id><published>2009-01-11T08:15:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T08:33:59.552-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Reflections'/><title type='text'>New Year - How to Survive "Change"</title><content type='html'>With the Holidays over we are now settling down to "normal" life again; that is if you can call anything happening in our country normal.  "Change" seems to be the word for the year; however, I always have to ask "change to WHAT?"  It seems obvious by now that the economic system of Capitalism is dead (no thanks to you Corporate conservatives who got greedy and liberals who wanted to load the system with government/private welfare).  Well...thanks alot!  Now I guess I have to get used to the idea that we are a Socialist nation on the way to becoming the North American Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing to me that We The Sheeple just keep letting our elected representatives get away with voting the opposite of our wishes.  So much for a Constitutional Republic.  The best way to survive the coming Government controlled economy is to get out of debt and change your worthless dollars to something of value.....like.....gold, silver, land and cattle as I teach in my Economics course for dummies when I present "The Stock Market Game" speech.  Here is a great quote sent to me by a friend recently:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica;"&gt;The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt &lt;br /&gt;should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and &lt;br /&gt;controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest  Rome become&lt;br /&gt;bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of living on  public&lt;br /&gt;assistance."&lt;br /&gt;Cicero, 55BC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-6119103000626976189?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/6119103000626976189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=6119103000626976189&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/6119103000626976189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/6119103000626976189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-year-how-to-survive-change.html' title='New Year - How to Survive &quot;Change&quot;'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-5326062787456099256</id><published>2008-11-20T07:05:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T07:15:58.540-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>What if you came to your parents driving your Jaguar and asked for money?</title><content type='html'>The Auto Executives before the Congress committee are begging "please mommie, I need a loan."

Ah....yes....then he asked them if they would sell these multimillion dollar jets on the tarmac and take a commercial airline ticket home?  Not one hand went up and a look of total bewilderment was on every executive face.  THEY DON'T GET IT!  And you want to give these guys billions of my tax money?  They don't even have solid plans for a possible bankruptcy.  Can you blame them though?  They were educated in the finest colleges in America that teach debt economics (Keynesian economics).  You and I, the average Joe, get it.  We have to "trim the hedges" when our outflow is more than our intake.  This is not rocket science.  One Executive said they are loosing 5 Billion dollars a month....ah...well....why on earth aren't you trimming the hedges?  THEY DON'T GET IT!

This morning Frederic Mishkin, Fed policy wonk, actually said something amazing on CNBC about us not knowing anything about where the trillions of dollars are going in the recent bailout: "We don't know all the answers and that IS transparency." Well...isn't that just swell. Do you have a feeling of being fleeced? You have been completely conned fellow citizens. $700 BILLION to save us from the fire in the theater and now....oh well....we aren't going to do what we said in the bill you passed; it's complicated so just let us do as we will with your tax money - stupid little serfs! I am beyond angry now, but what can we do? Nothing....we have tried voting, we have tried e-mailing and phoning our wishes all to no avail. Our new President will find out he has no power over these Oligarchs; he is only window dressing for the people who run this country from behind-the-scenes. Sec. Paulson introduced a Blueprint for a NEW Financial system back in March - the G-20 are calling for a NEW GLOBAL system....surprise, surprise. This is ORDER OUT OF CHAOS - a typical tactic of those in power (they create money with an electronic entry you know....see Bank of International Settlements or World Bank or IMF). Your "Dollar" is going to implode eventually and they know it; they are setting up a NEW system - more control. Mr. Mishkin actually tried to say that Inflation is better and could get too low....WHAT? That is an outright lie - anyone studying economics knows that the more paper debt notes in circulation (printing dollars) the less spending power they have! Your Dollar today is purchasing about 4 cents of what it purchased in 1913.  Inflation isn't what the government tells you - it is about 16% right now if you count the decrease in the purchasing power of your "dollars" in your wallet!  We are headed to Germany 1938 - a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread.  The interesting question is.....was all this done on purpose?

Thank God the House of Reps voted this idiot bill down; now the Senate is being whipped up to take over the agenda.  Who are they kidding?  We the Sheeple are NOT AMUSED.  I wrote both my Senator's tonight and said, "Hi, this is your Boss telling you to vote NO; no more taxes to bail out stupid, rich, powerful people who should know better."

THE FEDERAL RESERVE......  need I say  more....what a power grab.  The article is excellent and has a link to the  actual document so you can see for yourselves what your government is doing for  you......basically turning us into a socialist/fascist regime without one vote  being cast.

Thank goodness this "sheeple" saw this all coming over 2 years ago and I positioned by assets in gold and silver which have REAL value, not paper assets backed by the "confidence" of a broken government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-865957548383670519?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/865957548383670519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=865957548383670519&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/865957548383670519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/865957548383670519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2008/09/alice-in-wonderland-finance.html' title='Alice in Wonderland Finance'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-9099704647446386474</id><published>2008-09-10T06:07:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T06:56:56.801-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflections'/><title type='text'>Silent Coup by Economic Subterfuge</title><content type='html'>Well.....if you haven't noticed the late, grate USA is being dismantled economically piece by piece.  The Government nationalizing a mortgage industry (unconstitutional) is just a start; now another huge banker bites the dust today and Lehman Brothers has to report the actual value of their debt holdings on their balance sheets; bye bye $4 Billion.  Some commentators are saying: "this is like burning the furniture to keep the house warm."  No kidding....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Subterfuge" for those of you who weren't taught big words in our socialist re-education camps (schools) means the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              &lt;b&gt;Synonyms:&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/artifice" class="noline"&gt;artifice&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/cheat" class="noline"&gt;cheat&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/chicanery" class="noline"&gt;chicanery&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/deception" class="noline"&gt;deception&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/device" class="noline"&gt;device&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/dishonesty" class="noline"&gt;dishonesty&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/evasion" class="noline"&gt;evasion&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/excuse" class="noline"&gt;excuse&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/fraud" class="noline"&gt;fraud&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/plan" class="noline"&gt;plan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/ploy" class="noline"&gt;ploy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/pretense" class="noline"&gt;pretense&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/refuge" class="noline"&gt;refuge&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/ruse" class="noline"&gt;ruse&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/scheme" class="noline"&gt;scheme&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/sham" class="noline"&gt;sham&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/shift" class="noline"&gt;shift&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/sophistry" class="noline"&gt;sophistry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/stratagem" class="noline"&gt;stratagem&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/trick" class="noline"&gt;trick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our economy is not in the people's hands anymore; it is in the Central Bankers hands and the Global Elite hands.  "I don't care who controls the country just give me the control of the Economy."  -Rothschilds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lehman Brothers is part owner of the Federal Reserve which is a private corporation with government contracts.  Interesting isn't it?  We get rid of our Gold standard, give the reins to the private bankers, they print debt notes for us to use to purchase things and we pay  them back with interest until the cows come home!  What a great subterfuge.  Is anybody awake out there!  Now it seems the "bankers" have shot themselves in the foot.....or have they?  As all these bankers go belly-up you will notice foreign interests are buying them up (Sovereign Wealth Funds for example).  Ummmm....now they own the debt.   "Gold is the currency of Kings, Silver is the currency of Gentlemen, Barter is the currency of peasants, and DEBT is the currency of SLAVES." - George Clason, "The Richest Man in Babylon"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The USA is a Debt Nation....so who owns the debt?  That's the trillion dollar question; who are we all slaves to now days?  Who owes most of our debt?  China? Saudis? World Bank?  International Monetary Fund? - all of the above &amp;amp; they are controlled by Central Banks around the world owned by specific families.  Interesting isn't it?   Whoever  becomes President.....will be told what and how to do their job by the masters in control - that's just how it works.  I think we need to remember the words of Thomas Jefferson:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If the American people allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless in the continent their fathers conquered."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we have arrived there my friends.

Fantasy and romance are nice but let's get real.  No one lives in a fantasy world.  Unfortunately we live in a world where the Knights have rust on their armor and Princesses aren't always that pretty and perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real Love has more worth than mere romance and fantasy.  It has to do with sacrifice and most people have no idea what real love is anymore.  I know it took me a few decades of marriage to figure it all out and for God to teach me what it really was.  Dying to self is not a popular idea.  All we hear today is "Will you make me happy?" or "I'll love you until you piss me off."  Notice these are all about "self" and have nothing to do with the other person. A lot of divorces are about selfishness; he doesn't make me happy (News flash!...it isn't his job to make you happy!); she doesn't satisfy me like the magazines and TV say she should (me, me, me...what about ME; have you tried to look at her like a person instead of a play toy?).  Wow...it is a wonder anyone survives a relationship today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Valentines Day this year try something different.  Try to find out what your partner wants and try to fulfill that need.  What a concept!  Get your "self" out of the equation; die to your wants and needs; start to give to others what they need and you will get back ten-fold.  That is the real SECRET - not that New Age DVD "The Secret" going around about how to find your "self" and make your own reality happen by mental energy manipulation.  That is the pagan Church of Self at its best.  Try the Christian variety of love; you might be surprised at the results.  Read Corinthians 13:4 and following for instructions from the Creator of the Universe.  He just might know more than you about love and life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Married 35+ Years and still loving....Happy Valentines Day honey!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-8592925973277103222?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/8592925973277103222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=8592925973277103222&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/8592925973277103222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/8592925973277103222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2008/02/real-lovethe-real-secret.html' title='Real Love....the Real SECRET'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-2296558123823371400</id><published>2008-01-04T10:14:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T10:44:35.359-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>We the People Speak with Votes</title><content type='html'>Interesting Iowa primary results; the populists win but with Global overtones.  I for one have quite being a Republican or Democrat (family has been both at one time or another).  I have been listening and reading with interest the campaign "promises" and pablum that is usually dished out.  Only a few candidates dare to talk "turkey" as we say in the South.  All the candidates at the top on both sides are Globalists for the most part.  No real Liberals or Conservatives among them.  They all want Free Trade (aka socialism and One World Government) and open borders (note Huckabee wants benefits for children of Illegals).  They are all for continuing Foreign Aid (aka lets give away American's hard earned money to help "Nation Building" which is not Constitutional).  Most of them will not even consider making the Government smaller much less get rid of Lobbyist influences or pork barrel spending.  I was surprised to see Huckabee is for consumer sales tax instead of income tax....yee ha for him!  I might just vote for him on that one issue!  GET RID OF THE IRS!  YES!  Let the people decide when they will pay taxes (consumption tax) rather than an imposed income tax (no freedom).  All the TV pundits are confused and are saying the people are responding to their "hearts" and emotional appeal of candidates.  BULL!  Some of us out here actually have a brain and are going for candidates that are not the established, picked, groomed horses chosen by the elite of the parties.  It's time for a people's revolution by vote; that is if your vote will actually be counted correctly considering who makes and controls the machines. (just Google a research on that one and you will be amazed...)  I will continue to watch with interest as the Primaries continue; I must say I was glad to see Hillary go down in flames; she is an outright Communist in her philosophy - "It Takes A Village" is a book about how the STATE knows better how to raise your children than you do and we need to re-distribute everyones paycheck to everyone else (aka Nanny Government).  Besides who wants 30+ years of the Bush/Clinton dynasty?  Bush is a Yale Skull &amp;amp; Bones member and Clinton is a Rhoads Scholar - same club different names, same agenda by different methods.  She is a promoter of One World Government to the max.  I haven't decided who I will vote for as of today; I am frustrated because I am a capatalist/conservative/Constitutionalist; however ,I don't want Corporations taking over the world and our country.  Many of them have become corrupt as well as the Wall Street crowd (Isn't is amazing that Goldman Sachs has come out almost unscathed in the SubPrime debacle? And they are one of the owners of the private Federal Reserve Banks?  Hmmm...).

Followers of Abu, the father of Muhammad's favorite wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shiite&lt;/span&gt; are more orthodox and militant; mostly in Iran, Iraq and Palestine.

I sit and listen to all the talking heads on the MSNBC type programs and they discuss back and forth whether the Fed rate cut is good enough to save us or whatever.  They have "wise" investment CEO types saying the economy is just fine and jobs are all OK, etc.  I am sitting there wanting to jump through the TV and strangle some of them or slap them awake!  I am an average consumer who happens to know a lot about the Stock Market and Global economy dynamics, because I have studied it a great deal over the years for my own self preservation.  I go to my local HEB store for groceries on a regular basis; I don't have a maid to do it and I don't have a personal chef...I am it!  Now buying for the family for the past 30+ years has given me some insight into the way the economy is really going.  I notice that the price of my bread and toilet paper have gone up considerably in the past couple of years (not to mention gas!).  I used to make my grocery list, count the number of items on it and figure about a dollar an item for the cost; now it is up to two dollars plus.  Yet, the talking heads are telling me that inflation is not happening and I am fine.  Excuse me!  I do notice that the "dollar" bill the Feds are loaning us is buying less and less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not rocket science, as many say.  I also notice how many mega banks and investment companies are laying off jobs and then those people can't go out and "consume" as much; the trickle down begins....  Our whole Keynesian economic system of debt consumerism is based on Joe Six-Pak being able to buy stuff more and more.  It ain't happening folks!  Our family and friends are all feeling the crunch and buying less this Christmas.  This is only the beginning of a huge economic slow down.  As one analyst, who actually had a clue, said, "The wheels are coming off the wagon."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What most average investors/consumers don't understand is that the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates isn't going to fix anything!  All it does is make your dollar worth less because they print more money (debt instruments).  Let me put it in Joe Six Pak language:  lowering the interest rate big banks have to pay is like upping the limit on your Credit Card.  Wow...I can spend more!  Thanks.....but I do have to pay it back someday don't I.....ummmmm.  The bottom line is we are all rearranging the chairs on the Titanic (the USA economy).  By the way, the USA was declared bankrupt in 1930; just look it up.  Foreign money in the form of SWFs (Soverign Wealth Funds) are buying up American banks and corporations for pennies on the dollar.  (Abu Dabai just bought a huge chunk of Citigroup for example.)  Maybe the phone message system will now offer Arabic as well as Spanish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-2622912825446838248?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/2622912825446838248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=2622912825446838248&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/2622912825446838248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/2622912825446838248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/12/toilet-paper-and-federal-reserve.html' title='Toilet Paper and the Federal Reserve'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-4399191675449183551</id><published>2007-10-30T06:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-10-30T07:16:16.057-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Reflections'/><title type='text'>NEW SPEAK IS ALIVE AND WELL</title><content type='html'>Has anyone noticed that "words" are being redefined?  It is a subtle technique of propaganda for the dumbed down "sheeple" or regular populace out here in America  who have been educated in the government re-education camps we call public schools.  Words like "illegal" seem to have no meaning at all anymore or it is construed to mean "undocumented" as in "you broke the law of the USA; however, you are welcome to all our civil rights and services without any consequences for breaking our laws."  If you haven't read &lt;em&gt;Brave New World&lt;/em&gt; you should; ah.....it's a book....you know....those bound volumes in book stores and libraries that are NOT electronic!  It is an acurate portrail of the New World Order the Global Elite are working hard to establish.  We are doomed to repeat history because nobody is being taught any real history anymore.  The re-education camps (aka public schools) are preparing the populace to become "knowledge units" or "human resources" for the State economy coming our way soon. (It's called Systems Theory - look it up)  With that plan in mind all relevant words must be re-defined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is now defined as "fix me or I'll dump you."&lt;br /&gt;Sin is defined as "not realizing your true potential."&lt;br /&gt;Sex is defined as "a right of self gratification regardless of the consequences."&lt;br /&gt;Legal is defined as "whatever a smart lawyer/judge decides it is."&lt;br /&gt;War is defined as "nation building for their own good and ours."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah....I pine for the good ole days when words were concrete and had absolute meaning.  Oh...can't have that now days....everything is relative; anything goes; it's my truth and not yours, etc.  Well, I guess that means we now have a society of chaos and hedonistic rights, and if truth is relative then Jeffrey Dahmer had the right to eat people because it was his truth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-4399191675449183551?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/4399191675449183551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=4399191675449183551&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/4399191675449183551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/4399191675449183551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-speak-is-alive-and-well.html' title='NEW SPEAK IS ALIVE AND WELL'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-4356231297605954712</id><published>2007-09-26T13:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T13:46:47.836-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal Reflections'/><title type='text'>Dollar is down; Gold/Silver is up</title><content type='html'>For those of you who invest your hard earned dollars (which are really debt instruments printed by the Federal Reserve which is owned by private banks), you will not be happy to learn that the recent Fed Rate Cut on loans will inflate the dollar more; which means less purchasing power for each dollar in your wallet.  This "meltdown" in credit markets and commercial paper markets is just the beginning of some very hard times to come according to a lot of "behind the scenes" market makers.  Unless you study this sort of thing it seems very complicated; just know this that the loaf of bread you bought last month will be costing you more at the grocery store because your "dollar" is worth less today.  That is Inflation.  Recession is when the whole economy slows down; duh....well....let's see.....Groceries, Mortgages, car loans, gas are all going up and my dollar purchasing power is going down.  OK....I guess I will be buying less now and so will millions of others.  This isn't rocket science; national debt and personal debt is killing us all.  Thank goodness I bought more Gold and Silver when it was down.  I am smiling today; they are up at record levels; as the dollar goes down in value, Gold/Silver go up.

Cost so far is about $600 million.  Bush wanted $1.3 Billion to build it but Congress wouldn't approve that much.  Wow....your tax dollars at work.  Pull out of Iraq? Who are we kidding!  We are there to stay forever.  This will be the largest Embassy in the world; bigger than our Embassy in China which is quite large.  It is just unbelievable to me that the hubris has gotten that bad in Washington.  The Iraqis are calling it the George W Palace.  To top it all off the construction contract "bid" award was to a Kuwait company with little experience in this size project.

I started to laugh and was grateful for some comic relief on this horrendous subject.  I really believe the whole debate is over the "rule of law" and whether we are going to be a nation of laws or not.  It is obvious that we are not going to obey the laws in certain cases at the rate we are going.  I was of the mistaken notion that the Constitution and Bill of Rights were our standards.  I guess I was mistaken.  I looked up the word "amnesty" and it is a general pardon for offenses against a government (We the People).  Many pro-illegal immigration advocates are trying to say the bill is not a "pardon" because the criminals have to "do" things to get the pardon....like if you are a gang member you have to sign a paper renouncing your gang membership...HA!  Who are they kidding?  So if it isn't amnesty then what is it?  Probation?  Gee...I wish I could get automatic probation when I break the laws of the land.  See how fast they would put you in jail if you just decided to ignore the laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think one of the best solutions, besides securing the borders first, is to dry up the money or incentive and they will go home.  Quit hiring them, it is illegal; quit sending their money back to Mexico Bank of America!  Get it?  Quit enabling the "drug" addicts behaviors.  You won't have to deport them all - they will leave when the system is no longer rewarding them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for President Bush's agenda here....well, if you have done any amount of reading or study of his advisers you know the big agenda here is a borderless  North American Union.  There is a LOT of MONEY and POWER behind his family and friends.  They want a global economy and society.  He is not "clueless" at all, he is very determined to put forward the big agenda for his powerful acquaintances.  I for one will get my pitchfork out and storm the castle as much as possible.   It is the least a "sheeple" can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Comment Line at the White House:  202-456-1111&lt;br /&gt;E-Mail Comments:  comments@whitehouse.gov&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-914467859455528254?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/914467859455528254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=914467859455528254&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/914467859455528254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/914467859455528254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/06/press-1-for-englishpress-2-for-new.html' title='Press 1 for English...Press 2 for a new President'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-6433639027512662549</id><published>2007-05-25T09:27:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-05-25T09:42:10.715-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>Pork Barrel Earmarks gone Wild!</title><content type='html'>I wake up this morning and with my cup of Java I get this news story on CNN about how my hard earned tax dollars are being earmarked ($2 million) in the new Omnibus Bill to help improve a tiny airport in Wisconsin used by private planes and corporate jets.

There is a ton of evidence to that fact.  Now there is a huge agenda to have the FDA take over the control of these and rename them as "drugs" that need control.  The agenda of course didn't start with them; it is part of the WTO Codex Alimentarius agenda.  It is part of the new world government agenda of Communitarianism (merging socialism and capitalism).  There is a bill in the Senate (S1082) to basically hand over our health supplements to FDA control and to create a whole new FDA entity as a "non-profit" shell that will basically be a drug company in disguise as a biomedical research foundation.  To top this all off......this is all to help us "harmonize" the health supplement industry with Mexico and Canada so we can become the North American Union and all stand around and sing Kum Ba Ya.

What money scam will the drug companies come up with next?  I just couldn't believe the story when I saw it on CNN - Lou Dobbs last night.  He could barely get through the story without breaking up.  My son and I just started to laugh uncontrollably.  I thought, "We have lost it  in America; we have gone completely nuts."  I know Eli Lilly took Prozac and renamed it Sarafem and invented a new mental disorder (PMDD) to get more money since the patent ran out on Prozac.  I had a sneaking suspicion that this new drug (Reconcile) for pets was the very same chemical with a different name and disorder.  Sure enough after a little research I discovered it is fluoxetine hydrochloride; the very same drug as Prozac a.k.a. Sarafem.  Eli Lilly now has one drug and used it 3 times for profit.  They have broken into the Pet Market with millions of new suckers to soak.  I wrote a short article on it at Helium.com, check it out (click on my Helium.com articles).

After being saturated with the news and images ad nauseam, I have had time to digest it all and think deeply about it all.  Being  a Christian, I recognize "evil" as disobedience to the God of the Bible who is a personal God outside of all creation as opposed to the Pagan view of God as a "force" inside all creation.  Pagan beliefs of "evil" are totally different.  Evil is an energy or force (negative) and the opposite side of the same coin.  Negative and Positive energies are balanced (karma as an example).  So "evil" to them is simply a bad force operating in the universe that needs some good energy to balance it out.  Cho to me is not a "force" but a purely evil man who chose to disobey the God of the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This sick, evil person had free will.  He was not "insane" by any definition; he was a psychologically sick man, totally Narcissistic and full of himself.  Human beings are not "souls" of value to a narcissist, instead they are simply objects or property.  That is why he could kill with no emotions.  People have no real value to him except in their capacity to serve his wants and needs.  He is "God" of his little universe.  What a sad, wasted life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can all go on endlessly about what caused it all (guns, Cho, society, violent videos, etc.), but somewhere we have to chalk it up to Cho's free will to perpetrate killing.  HE is responsible for his behavior.  Guns and knives were only "tools" in the hands of the perpetrator.  This Nation has become a hedonistic, pagan, post-modern society and we are simply reaping what we have sowed.  May the God outside of the creation have mercy on us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-2122707596904237524?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/2122707596904237524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=2122707596904237524&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/2122707596904237524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/2122707596904237524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/04/reaping-what-we-have-sown-as-nation.html' title='Reaping What We Have Sown as a Nation'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-9106443716105890994</id><published>2007-04-02T13:28:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-04-02T13:39:20.410-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflections'/><title type='text'>Hotel Rwanda</title><content type='html'>If you haven't seen this Movie may I humbly suggest you rent it.  Everyone on this planet needs to see this movie about the slaughter of over a million people in Rwanda in 1994; it is well written and not too graphic which I appreciated.  You cannot watch that movie and not be moved unless you have no soul.  It is a true story of a man who saved 1,200 people from the genocide by his sheer wits.  What really horrified me was that all the major countries of the west just left and let it happen.  The UN was useless basically and couldn't even fire on people who were hacking people to death in the streets everywhere.  Unbelievable....  Sometimes I think this planet deserves whatever judgment God gives us including a cleansing by fire.

He is 26 years old and has been through hell and back from getting involved in drugs and the occult.  He became a Christian 2 yrs. ago.  Our family healing and his personal journey have been awesome.  He dropped out of High School in the 11th grade to pursue his passion - drugs.  Of course he stopped "maturing" emotionally and education was out of the question.  During his journey he ended up in Prison for a year which finally stopped his descent; but it took another few years of searching before the Lord got hold of his heart and turned his whole life around.  In the meantime, he has been studying to get his GED, long overdue.  He took the first part of the test and passed with flying colors (he is a very intelligent kid....like his Mom and Dad, HA!).  This morning he left to take the second half after studying all week.  Wow....watching him leave was one of those "precious" moments and memories to keep and what a contrast....one of our last partings was like death, this parting like a re-birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, about 5 or 6 years ago we had to throw him out of the house for a 3rd time.  I knew I might not ever see him again, because he was shooting up Meth and other things.  However, we knew we had to quit being enablers as parents.  It was one of the hardest things we ever had to do.  As he left the house screaming obsentities at me,  I just crumpled on the floor and let the crocodile tears flow.  Total anguish of the heart is hard to describe.  Needless to say, it was horrible.  Being Christians, our relationship with Jesus is all that has held us up through this "school of hard knocks".  Now our son is a Christian, clean from drugs and a loving person, walking out the door to get his GED. Now that is a true Miracle, folks!  I cried this morning as he left, but this time they were tears of joy.  I told him how proud of him I was and he just glanced back at me with that brilliant smile of his, blue eyes shining, long blond hair in a ponytail, tattoos and scars from his experiences in prison; his journey through Drugville as a Psychonaut (his term) was over.  He was beautiful!  Thank you Jesus!  He's still wild and crazy but in a positive creative way now.  God needs some "wild" roses in his garden, He told me during one of my prayers.  "Trip" has become his nickname and he is now ministering to other kids and adults who are "searching" for meaning.  He is "Heavy Metal" and I am "Pooh Bear."  What a combination!

In writing and researching I am in a constant state of investigation, research, reading, etc.  One thing that really ticks me off, and there aren't many, is for someone to blatantly attack my integrity and knowledge of a subject without first investigating that subject first themselves.

I start with this quote:&lt;br /&gt;    "An herb is a friend to physicians and the praise of cooks." -Charlemagne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people don't know that STEVIA, a natural sweet herb, is now available at most regular grocery stores.  Unlike the artificial sweeteners, it is all natural and has no toxic chemicals in it.  I do a show and tell with Stevia packets (the Green ones) and the new concentrated Stevia Extract.  Just replacing all those artificial "diet" sweeteners with this natural herb can be of great benefit to your health.  Stevia is good for your heart, too.  How great is that!

I haven't seen this much corruption, cover-ups, disinformation and outright lies from the Government since Watergate and Clintongate.  This is one reason I quite being a Republican or Democrat.  Nothing seems to matter except power and money for Global Elite purposes.  I long for a Constitutional Republic again and our sovereignty.  We, alas, are a Socialist Democracy run behind the scenes by World Banksters and Master Chess players on the World scene.  So...I am Switzerland.  I try to look at both extremes and find the facts where the truth usually lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Homeland Security has "lied" to congress about the Border Patrol agents who are rotting in jail.  Does anybody smell "drug cartel" money here?  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there is something very stinky here; including the Attorney General in El Paso and on up the ladder to the Administration.  Bush pardoned drug dealers at Christmas.  Did anyone see the articles and TV coverage on that? No, it's NADD or News Attention Deficit Disorder.&lt;br /&gt;2. Governor Perry here in Texas has decided to become Dictator and through an "Executive Order" has decided to force Parents to inject their children with Drugs for "their own good."  Never mind that Merk has money problems and links to Gov. Perry's campaign; never mind that the HPV Vaccine has 225 mcg of aluminum which is linked to brain disorders; never mind that the Women in Government pushing this are linked to Foundations that promote UN Agenda 21 and the UN Population Fund (I did the research).&lt;br /&gt;3. We discover this week that our Border has been invaded by military types with machine guns who have set up "towers" to watch the border while drugs stream into the country.  And the Homeland Security chief is going to do nothing about it; he basically two-stepped the congressmen at the hearing when confronted with this information.  And to top it all off the 70 discovered drug-running tunnels under the border have been "tapped" at one end; that's all.  Uh....hello!  Don't we have a few grenades to spare President Bush!  I GIVE UP!  Unless the people in this "republic" wake up and start raising some hell, all is lost.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-4342573950195808959?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/4342573950195808959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=4342573950195808959&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/4342573950195808959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/4342573950195808959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/02/im-switzerland-and-world-has-gone-crazy_09.html' title='I&apos;m Switzerland and the World Has Gone Crazy'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-2581159685933761108</id><published>2007-01-26T18:08:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-26T18:34:01.149-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>We Are the Sovereigns Not the Government</title><content type='html'>Hello!  Since when did we elect a King in the USA?  Watching the news tonight I just have to give my two cents worth of common sense.  The last time I checked we were a CONSTITUTIONAL Republic; however, I realize there is debate even on that issue since the Act of 1871 created a "legal overlay" over the Republic and the USA became a "corporation" in legal terms.  That's another article for another day.   Civics 101 teaches us that in this type of government, We The People are the Sovereigns and the Government is the serf.  Put another way....remember "render to Caesar what is Caesars"?  Well, WE are the Caesars....duh!...not the Federal Chess Masters in Washington, D.C.   Unfortunately most of the "sheeple" out there don't even know this because they were never taught real Civics or History.  The President  has stated that he doesn't care what the People think or what the Congress thinks (our supposed Representatives and voice),  he is going to do as he pleases.  Well, hail King George!  And I was a supporter at one time long ago in a galaxy far, far away.  He is Commander in Chief of the military; he is NOT the Commander in Chief of the people.  It is time for the People to take back our sovereign rights and demand our Congressmen hold the President's feet to the fire.  I'm not holding my breath.  The Chess Game continues and the Masters behind the scene have a huge agenda here.  If you think the Congress and the President run this country......ha.....well I have some land in Florida to sell you....only floods twice a day.

My mind woke up at 4:30 AM ready to shift gears from the "dream/imagination workspace" to the "up front processing workspace."  That comes from an article my son and I read yesterday on how the Brain processes information and how DMT, a natural psychedelic drug in our brains, functions; light reading at my house...HA!  My son and I are alike in that we are both brainy people and are constantly discussing, reading and talking on subjects like Quantum Physics, Brain neurology, Philosophies, etc.  We drive my husband crazy!  He is a more "feet planted firmly on Planet Earth" type of guy.  His creativity comes out in his Drumming and singing with the two Bands he is in....ah...oops...can't end a sentence with a preposition.  Sorry...."that's 10 yards for improper grammar!"; hey, I'm only on my first cup of java!  Football season on the brain...I love football.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my mind woke up racing with a hundred ideas for articles.  I have found that I have to jot them down on the "My Ideas" page of my writing notebook before my computer upstairs purges the information!  My son says I need a digital recorder; good idea.  I am so happy I found a web site on which to vent all the words in my head; its called Helium.com.  Why "helium" you may ask?  I have no earthly idea.  I just joined and have written 3 articles; I will have to research the site and forum there to discover why they chose that name.  It is a writer's site for "expanding the knowledge base."  I like that idea. Its a great place to vent your article ideas and get rated by fellow writers.  So, off I go to forge words.....Lady Wordsmith.  Ummmm....could be a good pen name.

I'll try to find a picture of them and post it also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Babylon 5 was one of the BEST Sci-Fi Series ever to grace the TV waves besides Star Trek in my opinion.  It is a creation of J. Michael Straczynski.  I have been a Sci-Fi fan since I was about 5 years old.  Space has always fascinated me.  Hopefully, you will check this series out; rent some episodes.  It is a 5 year arching story that will addict you...hook, line and sinker!  Maybe I will post some of my experiences I had at B5 Conventions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-9063398451091633480?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/9063398451091633480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/9063398451091633480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/01/shadows-are-darkevil-race-in-babylon-5.html' title=''/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZMd9Cql270A/Ra8gaWcekQI/AAAAAAAAAAg/PuG1wE7oSZk/s72-c/sh-mothr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423538466922053396.post-2471372754537474797</id><published>2007-01-17T23:37:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-19T06:27:29.581-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wow...I got published today in the local newspaper.

Vorlons are characters from the Sci-Fi TV series "Babylon 5."  Their antagonists are the Shadows who ask, "What do you want?"   I am a "Vorlon" type so who am I?  I am a Freelance Writer and Lecturer.  I also do a lot of research on a lot of subjects.  Matter of fact, my friends and family call me "the walking library."  I have devoured books since I can remember; especially Sci-Fi.  I am the daughter of a Journalist.  My dad was Managing Editor of a local paper for over 30 yrs., so I grew up around copy, proofreading, proper grammar, etc.  I went to Baylor University and got my English Lit/Grammar degree and I minored in Drama.  I attended Baylor Children's Theater for many years from age 6 to 15.  While there I acted in several drama productions.  At one point when I was 15 the Baylor Children's Theater group put together a 2-week seminar for kids called "Ideas in Motion" at Trinity University Youth Theater in San Antonio, TX.  As a teacher of these kids I not only gained a lot of great experiences, but I also wrote a lot about it.  Eventually, Jearnine Wagner and Kitty Baker got a book published of the Baylor group and Trinity seminar called "A Place for Ideas - Our Theater."  Boy, it brings back a lot of great memories when I read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After marrying my high school sweetheart, we moved to Austin,TX.  I got a job at a Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and eventually became a teacher there in Communication Skills teaching typing and Basic Ed; I was also the Librarian (multi-media).  We moved to Colorado and I started to work for Eye Physicians as a receptionist and then got training to become an Ophthalmic Medical Assistant.  For 20+ yrs. I had that career in Colorado and back to Texas.  I semi-retired in 1998 to pursue other interests like trading in the Stock Market, designing Business Cards and Stationary and helping my husband with his Band, The Hitzmen.  I have always written Letters to the Editor, Pamphlets, and some club Newsletters, but I never really decided to make it a career until now.  So, I am learning and writing as much as I can.  I have had so many experiences with traveling and heading a Star Trek Club in Austin; been to numerous sci-fi conventions and cruises; was stuck in Las Vegas on 9/11 where we (sister and some trek friends) were attending a Star Trek convention.  Stuck at the Luxor for 4 days....boy, that sounds like an article in the making!  I would like to write about some of the great "brushes with stars" I've had; like meeting the actor who plays "Worf" in Star Trek Next Generation.  I ran into him in an elevator at a Denver convention.  Boy is he big!  I've also snorkeled with "Sulu" of classic Trek while on a Trek Cruise to the Bahamas.  I have a lot of "material" from which to choose; I just need to get to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also do speaking engagements for clubs and conferences.  I did several in Colorado while in a Music Ministry and Bible Study groups.  We got involved in Prison Ministry with music when we returned to Texas.  I love gourmet cooking and I just did a talk on Herbs &amp;amp; Cooking for the Kingsland Garden Club where I live.  I hope this blog gives me a chance to put down my thoughts as I grow in this new career.  So....for now....Live Long and Prosper.....I am a Trekker.    I am in good company since Steven Hawking is a Trekker also!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;© 2007 by BA Moran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4423538466922053396-6364391373995451394?l=vorlonvoice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/6364391373995451394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4423538466922053396&amp;postID=6364391373995451394&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/6364391373995451394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4423538466922053396/posts/default/6364391373995451394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vorlonvoice.blogspot.com/2007/01/welcome-to-morans-vorlon-voice.html' title='Welcome to Moran&apos;s Vorlon Voice'/><author><name>BA Moran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09989369603808577295</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
