June 14, 2011 journal, during financial collapse barter system will come back for trading. There was a very successful barter system here until the IRS ruled that they must pay tax equal to dollars so that kill the system entirely. The government does a lot of international barter in mega quantities. Overseas producing, as always need something from the U.S.A. Even if it is second hand. The Federal Reserve Int. wants only traffic in American dollars. * Can a Man Hope to Last, Not Knowing His Past?? "The laws of the Christian system, as embraced by the Bible, must be respected as of high authority in all our courts and it cannot be thought improper for officers of such government to acknowledge their obligation to be governed by its rule.... (Our government) originating in the voluntary compact of a people who in that very instrument profess the Christian religion, it may be considered, not as republic Rome was, a Pagan, but a Christian republic. Massachusetts Grand Jury 1802" Rachel Donadio & Niki Kitsantonis, The New York Times News Service: "Thousands of Greeks joined a nationwide strike on Wednesday against their sharp cuts to government spending as Parliament debated another round of painful austerity measures intended to secure more international aid and avert a financial crisis. The police fired tear gas and scuffled with protesters in the central Syntagma Square in Athens, and some in the crowd tried to prevent legislators from entering Parliament. Police officials said they have now detained 10 people. A year after Greece received its first huge international bailout, their Socialist prime minister, George Papandreou, is facing his greatest challenge yet as he tries to balance the demands of the International Monetary Fund and the markets with those of his electorate. Schools, tax offices and other public services were closed, and hospitals operated at sharply reduced staffing levels." (the neocon Liberal left right news media said this could happen here in America if it is allowed to happen over in Greece). "If you're still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR "security exercise" involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America. The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive "security exercise" throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. "The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams," reports the Marietta Times . Although the exercise is couched in serious rhetoric about preparedness, it relates to "no specific threat" and the details are nebulous to say the least and seems to revolve around little else than testing out high-tech surveillance equipment and reminding Americans who their bosses are. "In addition to using three helicopters for aerial inspection, the exercise made use of the Ohio Highway Patrol's camera-equipped Cessna Caravan, which is capable of transmitting close-up, detailed real-time images of objects on the ground taken from more than five miles away," reports the Charleston Gazette . The exercise seems to be about little more than a show of force by the TSA in light of a massive resistance against their agenda, particularly in Texas where a recent bill that would have banned invasive TSA grope downs almost passed and is set to be up for debate again. Michael Cleveland, federal security director for TSA operations in West Virginia admitted as much when he said the event was about letting, "people know we're out here." As we have documented , TSA grope downs and body scans are now being rolled out on highways, street corners, train stations, bus depots, public buildings, at sports events, and even at local prom nights as part of the VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) takeover of the country. The TSA has also announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to in-clude roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States. These internal checkpoints, run by Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the TSA, involve trucks being scanned with backscatter x-ray devices in the name of "safety" and "counter terrorism". Since the launch of the Department of Homeland Security's "See Something, Say Something" program, the DHS has also released promotional material which depicts would-be TSA agents conducting searches at public events, including a Buccaneers football game. Homeland Security is also developing technology to be used at "security events" whichpurports to monitor "malintent" on behalf of an individual who passes through a checkpoint. Forget the airports, the TSA has already spread its tentacles to invade almost every public facet of American society. Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad) 'President Obamas election campaign promise to create a domestic "security force," that is "just as powerful, just as strong" as the US military is now coming to fruition as the TSA expands to turn American into a checkpoint-festooned hellhole where constant fearmongering about terror threats is the justification for the construction of a Sovietized police state.

FreedomLover says: Considering the deliberate shutting out of the people's wishes, we've come under a dictatorship already. I don't think there will BE a next election cycle - or if there is, it will be a farce, rigged. The globalists already know who they want in there and they are using the media to spew their propaganda to steer American minds in the direction of their will, making us think we still have a voice."
