***Fund raising status: Well, we are still at $95 needed by the first with basically one full day left to meet our goal by the morning of the first. I am prepared to accept the teams decision to stop doing this part of the work that was so important at one time, if everyone feels its time to quit, I leave that up to you at this point. I consider this a joint decision since we have been a team in all of this. But now I have to take the time I used on here and apply it toward making money to meet my obligations. Isn't that always the way? lol
We have scheduled out blogs already to the 4th of February and if we do not make our goal, then after that, the blog will continue to stand as a very good resource for those seeking information, history and the progression of how we got here so each of us can preserve it for our children to teach them to recognize when something like this happens again and to give them a warning not to wait too long to act.
This teaching and resource tool will remain until it is no longer needed. I believe we still need to have these blogs on the net for a while longer, but that is up to you all to make that decision since I put into this effort what I can and now its up to others who can afford to contribute and who use the blog and read it, to decide whether its time to move onto other activities instead. No matter how this turns out I wish to thank all of you for your support in so many ways. God bless and keep you safe.
Vatic Note: Ok, on the face of it, yes, this appears as he says, but I have to put a codicil in here to lay out history that I saw and can testify too. When the entire issue of spying on Americans through their emails became a big deal, Google was the only email service that spent the money to fight it in court and they stayed with it til the bitter end. They lost the battle and had to cooperate with the powers that be through the fisa courts.
Now once they had to comply, here is what they did. They refused FBI letters that everyone else accepted and forced them to go to the Fisa court and get the warrant. They made them do it on every single request to spy. NONE OF THE OTHER SITES SPENT A PENNY NOR PUT OUT THE EFFORT that google put into it. So for me, they fought it and I have forgiven them for not doing more since doing more would have cost them google and that would not have benefited us in anyway. It would have insured the voluntary traitors like Yahoo and msm and hotmail and AOL would have secured a greater share of the market after betraying that market without any effort at all.
We the people are majorly at fault for all of this because we didn't scream bloody murder in the beginning under Bush when we should have. Now we are experiencing total denial by many Obama supporters of what he has done. They don't even want to hear it, so for me, Google is possibly going to have an opportunity to change things.
I hold out no hope given these past 10 years and who is running the country, but one never knows. Lets give this a chance. We have always had a business person in the Dept of interior and Commerce, so that is not new by a long shot. Lets see and believe me, I will be the first to scream bloody murder if they become like those they are working for.
Fascism, Anyone? Google Chief Likely for Cabinet Post?

If this isn’t evidence of corporate collusion at work, nothing is. Mussolini captured the essence of this kind of corporatocracy in a little word that once had a negative connotation. Does it any more?
The marriage of government and corporations is defined as fascism.
Here’s the news:
Treasury Secretary Google?
Already a winner on the business front for his support and guidance to President Obama and his reelection campaign, there is growing speculation that Google Chairman Eric Schmidt is in line for an even bigger payoff: secretary of either Treasury or Commerce or a new “secretary of business” slot.
Cabinet shakeup watchers have focused on Schmidt and his Yoda status in the Obama reelection campaign, Google’s massive $1.9 million to Democrats in the election, and the administration’s efforts to quiet a potential Federal Trade Commission investigation of Google as key signs that the president wants Schmidt in the cabinet.
“Nobody’s better positioned for a Cabinet job, if he wants one,” said a Democratic strategist.
Since Obama ran for national office, Google has been there with money and advice. Way back in 2007, Obama visited Google HQ and said, “What we shared is a belief in changing the world from the bottom up, not from the top down.”
Ever since, it’s been a match made in heaven. MORE
Over the Top, A Long Time Ago
It’s off the charts. Just look at how far the revolving door and inter-twined relationship goes.NSA Hides Google Ties As DARPA Director Takes Google Job
As the NSA tries to cover up its ties with Google, in a potential widespread spying scandal, DARPA Director Regina Dugan is leaving the Pentagon to take a post at Google.
In the midst of what looks likes a massive spying scandal between the National Security Agency and Google, similar to the NSA’s partnership with AT&T to spy on all phone calls placed within the US, we learn today that the Director of the Pentagon’s Premiere Research Lab, DARPA, is stepping down to take a “senior executive position” at Google.
Just three days ago, news hit the wire that the Department of Justice had asked US Federal courts to keep any partnerships between Google and the NSA secret. MORE
The Fascist States of America
And this is just a couple of agencies. Monsanto grads run the FDA, Goldman Sachs cronies run the treasury department, and the list goes on and on. The fascism is at full throttle.And if you think calling it fascism is going too far, considering its sordid record in past regimes, it’s time you had an eye opener:
The 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism
by Dr. Lawrence Britt
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. He found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause. The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. (VN: Boy this one is familiar. Arabs did 9-11, when in fact it was a supposedly best ally who actually did 9-11 and then we watched as our elected officials signed an oath of loyalty to that ally, which is treason, officially and legally and then we watched our out of control pentagon invade and murder millions of arabs in the middle east who did nothing to us at all, or to the ally either for that matter. Crimes against humanity is what we watched by our own country under foreign occupation.)
4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution. (VN: I don't necessarily agree that family values is a nazi concept. In fact, I almost died from laughing since the previous two WW's were funded by the same zionist bankers doing us, and the hallmark of their sexism was the allowed raping of the enemies women, and now we see it against our own female soldiers who are not in combat positions. Can you imagine what would happen if they are placed on the front line. Oh, yes, that is sexism while having families is how we were all built by nature, God, whatever you can handle, to perpetuate the race of humanity. Sorry about that, but its in all the areas of the animal kingdom. Can't blame that on fascism, what you can attribute to fascism is the destruction of the family unit and ties, along with bonding with your family, community, and co-workers. Facism requires you only bond with "Big Daddy government").
6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. (VN: its done by creating the terrorism through black ops and then feeding the fear to manipulate the population.)
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – (VN: That is so true, Satanism has taken over our military, with the head of the Church of Satan as the propoganda head, General Aquino, and a write up in army documents all about the "church of satan" along with satanizing our military personnel and suiciding, in record numbers, those who refuse. Absolutely a definite sign of fascism) Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. (VN: absolutely true and in every fascist state we see the same monied international bankers funding that fascism and taking control even under the false name of Communism that they did in Russia, when in fact, it was pure fascism and nothing like the Kubutz's in Israel, which were in fact classic in the definition of communism.)
10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.(VN: boy do we know that one on both the right and the left, on the Right was Bush's first election and on the left was Obama's second election, we also proved that electronic voting machines were purchased, and run by Israel. lol)
Any questions, America?What more can be said? What more needs to be said?
