Notes from 'Reality Check' 28 May 2010

The Father of the Euro discusses Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), which can effectively replace the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency ~ a forerunner of a global monetary system:

http://www.livetradingnews.com/robert-mundell-the-father-of-the-euro-says-chinese-yuan-is-counterpart-to-us-dollar-13437.htm

This discusses the merit of creating a "currency basket" that will diversify the revenue, and why a world currency in the form of SDRs, will offset risk ~ this being "proven" in the decline of the USD, Euro, Yuan, etc.

Obama discussing the merit of Global Governance and a New World Order with West Point Cadets, etc.:

European Integration as a Region State, replacing Nation States, like the USA:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_integration

How the EU was started decades ago, with The Father of the Euro admitting in his memoirs before passing away, that the treaties, economic ties, etc. were forerunners of the long-term plan of uniting Europe into a single regional state with a single currency:

This transfer of national powers to a "Community" to be exercised by its Commission was paralled under the 1957 Treaty of Rome establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (or Euroatom) and the European Economic Community (EEC) in Brussels.

In 1967, the Merger Treaty (or Brussels Treaty) combine the institutions of the ECSC and Euratom into that of the EEC. They already shared a Parliamentary Assembly and Courts. Collectively they were known as the European Communities. In 1987, the Single European Act (SEA) was the first major revision of the Treaty of Rome that formally established the single European market and the European Political Cooperation. The Communities still had independent personalities although were increasingly integrated, and over the years were transformed into what is now called the European Union.

China calls for reform of global monetary system:

• EDITORIAL CARTOON

• INSINUATING VIOLENCE

Did you ever notice that big talkers are usually real cowards?

I have grown more and more disgusted with people (esp lately on Facebook) who declare their love of country and the Second Amendment by letting everyone know that they have their arsenal of weapons and a huge cache of ammunition -- and by God, they're read to use it.

I recall one particularly crazy person saying that we have come to a point where there is 'only one thing left to do!' Of course, he didn't say what the one thing was, but since the health care monstrosity was going to be force upon the American people, there was no 'only one thing left to do.'

Of course, I understand the frustration many Americans feel. President Barack Obama isn't just making some mistakes that leftists and socialist-democrats (intentional small case 'd') are taking advantage of.

I believe that Mr. Obama really does hate this country, insofar as what he has been trained to believe. Mr. Obama is the ultimate realization of a thorough indoctrination. He is the clumination of decades of communists, working behind the scenes, waiting for the perfect storm of American voter ignorance to change this country forever into socialist mediocrity.

As I discussed on my show on Friday (April 9th thejimmyzshow.com), Americans opened the door for this kind of godless attack on our Constitution by spending years avoiding our country's deep religious heritage. And that's a big issue for another column.

So, clearly, the country is in deep trouble, and Mr. Obama, along with the likes of the most compliant, cowardly band of spineless democrat losers we have ever seen in power in DC, is working as hard as he can for George Soros and Bill Ayers to turn us into another European styled socialist-democracy (if there is such a thing). And if he succeeds, the entire world will succumb to economic and moral disaster.

We really are the world's last, great hope.

I get that. I understand the desperation that many people feel. But when someone like Mr. 'Nothing Left to Do' won't say what he means, and mean what he says, he's really said nothing. I pushed of course - is it blood in the streets you are working toward? Is it a full blown war and attack on Washington DC you want?

Because if you're not willing to say it on Facebook, I sincerely doubt you're willing to pick up a gun and run out of the garage and take on the FBI when they come calling.

There are a number of people I've run into online that have a lot to say in attempting to defend the actions of the Hutaree Militia in Michigan. Recall, these were the folks who were arrested for conspiracy to kill not one but many cops, in a plan as evil as it was devious.

Imagine: There are Americans who are willing to defend those who (may have) conspired to kill cops, all because they distrust Barack Obama and the democrats so. I gotta tell you: I'd feel no safer with the Hutaree running the streets of America than I would UN troops.

So no, now is not the time to insinuate violence, or argue for violence, against the regime of Barack Obama. What it is time to do is work your asses off getting as many Republicans and Conservatives elected on November 2nd, 2010. Let's see what things look like on November 3rd, and talk again.

• BARNEY FRANK'S HR 3017

This bill was introduced in June 2009 by Sen. Barney Frank, D-MA. The following is a summary of this bill.

6/24/2009--Introduced.

Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009 - Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation. Makes this Act inapplicable to:

(1) religious organizations; and (2) the relationship between the United States and members of the Armed Forces. Declares that this Act does not repeal or modify any federal, state, territorial, or local law creating a special right or preference concerning employment for a veteran.

Provides for the construction of this Act regarding:

(1) enforcement by employers of rules and policies; (2) sexual harassment; (3) certain shared facilities such as showers or dressing facilities; (4) construction of new or additional facilities; (5) dress and grooming standards; and (6) provision of employee benefits to married vs. unmarried couples.

Declares that, in this Act, "married" refers to a legal union between one man and one woman. Prohibits the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from collecting statistics from covered entities on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity or compelling the collection by covered entities of such statistics. Provides for enforcement, including giving the EEOC, the Librarian of Congress, the Attorney General, and U.S. courts the same enforcement powers as they have under specified provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Government Employee Rights Act of 1991, and other specified laws. Allows actions and proceedings, subject to exception, against the United States and the states.

GOP Congressman John Kline (R-MN) warns us that HR 3017 creates an entirely new protected class that is vaguely defined and often subjective. "The legislation extends protections based on – quote – 'perceived' sexual orientation," Kline said. "These vaguely defined terms would result in an explosion of litigation," costing millions in lawyers fees, paid by Christian Business Owners to homosexual complainers.

The worst part of Frank's new bill, without exaggeration or embellishment, is that it specifically forces all business owners, including Christians, to open their ladies bathrooms to cross-dressing men, even before they undergo sex-change operations. No kidding. Just read the bill, here:

HR 3017 Section 8.A.3. "CERTAIN SHARED FACILITIES- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to establish an unlawful employment practice based on actual or perceived gender identity due to the denial of access to shared shower or dressing facilities in which being seen unclothed is unavoidable, provided that the employer provides reasonable access to adequate facilities that are not inconsistent with the employee's gender identity as established with the employer at the time of employment or upon notification to the employer that the employee has undergone or is undergoing gender transition, whichever is later." That's a direct quote from Barney Frank's proposed new HR 3017 law.

Homosexual Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) already has 198 co-sponsors, and will press for a vote THIS MONTH. Below are the Ohio (D) Congress persons who signed on:

John Boccieri OH-16; Steve Driehaus OH-1; Marcia Fudge OH-11; Mary Jo Kilroy OH-15; Dennis (are we surprised) Kucinich OH-10; Tim Ryan OH-17; Betty Sutton OH-13.

There is another House bill HR 2981 and the Senate version is S1584 with Senator Sherrod Brown.

• TYRA BANKS AND GIRLS GONE WILD

Occasionally I flip channels and see a few minutes of the Tyra Banks show. She has from time to time had programs about women who were abused by men, or assaulted, or other such tragedies. She has always struck me as somewhat sincere – as opposed to Maury Povich who just uses people in such a disgusting manner I can’t imagine how he sleeps at night.

That being said, today I was moving through channels looking for the afternoon MASH rerun (I still enjoy MASH, especially the original cast in the first 3 seasons), and I paused on Tyra’s program. She has that scumbag “Girls Gone Wild” character on, talking about how much fun he’s having living his life. They show shots of the audience members, all young women, smiling and happy about listening to this putz.

Now I am no fan of Hugh Hefner. He’s an extraordinary dirtball. I can’t stand the man. He’s bad enough but when they put him on TV as if he’s some wonderful celebrity, I want to puke. But this guy from GGW – he’s a freakin’ demon. He smiles, he’s handsome enough I suppose, and he’s got charisma. Tyra Banks says something like, “hey, no one forces any of the women to take off their clothes – I don’t see the problem here!”

(By the way, I don’t know the man’s name, and I was going to look it up, but I thought it was cool that I don’t know his name and decided not to bother.)

Yeah, whoopee Tyra! This is all in good fun! Take off your bra! Ooh la lah! Show us your coochie! I mean, I haven’t seen one of those films but I can imagine. I’m no choir boy, but that kind of thing is such a turn off. Get ‘em drunk, and hand ‘em some money. There it is, “sexy”. HARDLY! And Tyra has now exposed herself. She’s playing along for the money having him on TV gets her. Ratings. Big ratings. And she gets to be the cool ‘hot chick’ who doesn’t mind this clown and his planes and homes and cars and more money than God – all obtained by exploiting young women.

Sure, they’re all of age, and they get paid and free booze and they make their decisions using their own free will ... after they’re hammered.

Tyra Banks should be ashamed of herself.

• MY OPEN LETTER TO ANDREW BREITBART

Dear Mr. Breitbart:

I have immense respect for Breitbart.com and all the Big websites associated with it. I refer to material on these sites often in doing my online radio program (always referenced and linked in the show notes).

Now, I have to ask why so many conservatives are willing to look past Sarah Palin's stumping for John McCain when there is a real conservative in the race! This is really disturbing to me, and gets us right back to the heart of the problem with the GOP and politics in America. When do we start standing up against Republicans in Name Only, like Mr. McCain?

And when do we demand that people like Ms. Palin stand up for the principles that she espouses? She cannot be both for the Tea Party AND for John McCain - and yet there she is, in one weekend - doing the impossible.

I've been disgusted all weekend. All the cheering tells me that conservatives STILL JUST DO NOT GET IT.

Respectfully,
Jimmy Z

• TOM CAMPBELL FOR SENATOR

• I Will Be Happy if Pelosi Uses the Slaughter Shenanigan

By Jimmy Z

Let them act out in such a fashion as to be damned by history.

I am still hoping and believing that the leftists in office in Washington DC will not be able to get the votes to pass their healthcare wet dream. We've put up a wonderful fight - and we're not done yet. No country has fought harder to prevent socialized medicine.

But in light of the very real possibility that Pelosi and the democrats (purposely not capitalized) will use the Slaughter Shenanigan -- aka 'Deem and Scheme' -- I have said to a few people who are understandably freaking out, 'good! I'm glad they're going to use that tactic!'

Of course, their responses have been shock. 'Huh? Why would you be happy?'

Here is what I think: If the democrats are going to force this atrocity on the American people by hook or by crook, let them do it with more hooks and by more crooks than ever in our history. Let them act out in such a fashion as to be damned by history.

I want them to use every trick. I want them to conspire behind closed doors over and over and over again. I want them to continue to show Americans who the leftists are, and how deep their level of deceit is. I want our children and grandchildren to be studying in school the political horror of 2010.

And I want our progeny to look back and be amazed that our country was able to survive.

Should our country have to face passage of this bill through some kind of chicanery, it serves us well. We will fight it with our State Constitutions. We will fight it in court. We will demand our Republican majority in the House, come 2011, not fund the bill. We will work to repeal the bill, and we will not give up.

Our descendants will learn of many times this country was on the edge of disaster; the moments when The United States of America was thought to be finished. We defeated our enemies, and we beat the odds.

The Revolutionary War provided a very long shot, yet here we are. The Civil War was a bloody and horrible war. Many people believed that our country would not survive, yet here we are. There were times during World War II that it looked like we would lose the war. But we persevered and here we are. During the Great Depression I am sure some folks thought, 'well, this is it. Here is the end of the line.'

We have seen stunning, dreadful times in our past. And we keep pushing through, and we patriots do not give up. Between our love of country and our faith in God, we do what must be done to protect the Constitution.

We are fighting our President for the second time in our history. Last time, it was imperative that the President won. This time, it is essential that the President lose.

Just because these leftists -- Pelosi, Reid, Obama and nearly all of the democrats in office -- may use some unconstitutional maneuver to pass the Health Care System Take Over bill (I mean, let's call it what it is, shall we?), we will not stop fighting it.

We have a lot of good people in office who are gearing up to take action right away. Come November 2nd, we will have even more amazing conservatives and Republicans ready to battle against this most unconstitutional legislation.

We have truth on our side. Over and over again, we hear democrats on television and radio, lying outright to the American people, and to themselves. They seem to believe that if this bill passes, the American people are going to love it. They insist that the American people do not care at all about the process used to pass the Take Over.

They actually believe that our Constitution does not mean anything to the American people. Imagine!

So let them use every trick they can think up. Let them provide all of the ammunition we will use against them in the coming elections.

They will find out on November 2nd how wrong they are.



Oh, and one more thing: Many people like to talk about the 'democracies' throughout history that lasted about 200 years, and say that we've had a good run; that our time is about up. Rubbish. We are not just another democracy among democracies in the history of this planet.

We are The United States of America. We are a democratic Republic. We are used to bucking trends. We are a people who do not lie back and accept what we don't like. We have the Constitutional authority to replace this government with leaders who will protect that Constitution.

We are not done.
