David Walker asked:


The World Cup is over for another four years and it was Italy, rather than hosts Germany or a rejuvenated France, that were crowned World champions. Here is a short round up of the semi final, third and fourth place play off and the final itself to complete BetBonus.co.uk’s comprehensive coverage of the greatest tournament in the world.

Semi Finals

Germany vs Italy was arguably the best match of the tournament. Both are traditionally defensive sides but this year have shown attacking prowess like never before. The match was goalless at 90 minutes, proving the cautious bookmaker’s called the draw correctly at meagre 2/1 odds but the match was not without incident. Alberto Gilardino’s effort rebounded off the post and Gianluca Zambrotta’s drive struck the bar. Lukas Podolski led the German attacking threat, missing the header from David Odonkor’s cross and forcing a brilliant one handed save from Gianluigi Buffon.

The match was heading for penalties until two goals in the final two minutes of the game stunned the hosts. Impressive left back Fabio Gross hit an unstoppable first time shot and a minute later substitute Alessandro Del Piero collected a pass and struck firmly into the top corner beyond the advancing Jens Lehmann to send the Italians into the final.

France, at odds of 5/4 eased themselves into the final after beating a disappointing Portugal side 1-0. Zinedine Zidane struck a decisive penalty after 33 minutes after Thierry Henry was tripped inside the box by Ricardo Carvalho.

Third / Fourth Place Play Off

Germany finished the tournament in third place, comfortably beating Portugal 3-1 and ensuring they were one of the safest bets of the tournament at odds of 3/4. After a goalless first half Bastian Schweinsteiger stuck a long range effort after 55 minutes and Armando Petit deflected in another Schweinsteiger effort from distance, this time a low free kick. The Bayern Munich midfielder fired in another long range goal 13 minutes from time to seal victory for the hosts but Oliver Kahn, winning his eighty sixth and final Germany cap, was denied a clean sheet as Nuno Gomes headed in a consolation two minutes from time.

Final

Italy were crowned World Champions after a faultless penalty shoot out display but the match will be best remembered for Zinedine Zidane getting himself sent off in his last appearance for France. Zidane put France ahead after seven minutes from the penalty spot and became only the fourth player to score three goals in World Cup final matches, joining Geoff Hurst of England and both Vava and Pele of Brazil in this exclusive club. His goal also ended Italy’s clean sheet streak of four matches, one short of the World Cup best set by the Italian side of 1990. France struggled to cope with Italy’s set pieces and Marco Materazzi headed in from Andrea Pirlo’s corner to draw level after 19 minutes.

With the match level at 1-1 after 90 minutes at even skinner draw odds of 9/5 how ironic that the two goalscorers would be embroiled in controversy with the match heading for a penalty shoot out. After 109 minutes, Zidane was sent off for head butting Materazzi after the former Everton defender seemingly said something to offend the veteran Frenchman.

No further goals were scored and five weeks of action would be determined on penalties, but it was the Italians who would vanquish the demons of 1994 and emerge victorious. Andrea Pirlo scored for Italy and Sylvain Wiltord drew the French level. Marco Materazzi scored but substitute David Trezeguet cannoned his effort off the crossbar. Daniele De Rossi put Italy 3-1 ahead but Eric Abidal scored to make it 3-2. Alesanndro Del Piero scored and so did Willy Sagnol. With the score at 4-3 in Italy’s favour, Fabio Grosso could win the Cup with a successful spot kick. He duly obliged and Italy won the match and indeed the World Cup, 5-3 on penalties.

Emmanuel Aubrey asked:


Why should you bother reading this article, well I know the topic isn’t fun in fact it makes me sleepy remembering my first driving class but there is some information here that could save your life and save you some money.

OK as you probably already figured the number one reason to be a defensive driver is because it increases you chance of living I don’t want to get into the number of traffic deaths because that stuff is just so sad but anyways when you learn to drive defensively you help yourself and others. Now of course you can’t control how other drive but you can control how you react and how fast you react. When you a defensive driver you should become free from road rage, which leads us to the next reason.

Reason number 2 to become a defensive driver is it should create one less maniac on the roads. If you practice defensive driving you will begin to see things about to happen before they do kind of like you will be come a clairvoyant of the road.

Since you will know how to react according with your practice it should cause you less frustration which should prevent road rage and we all know what happens with road rage and it’s not pretty.

As a side note if you think about it you are hurting your self in so many ways with road rage stress which leads to some many altercations, if you get in an “accident” out of rage it will drive you insurance rate up which will cause you to have less money which then will cause more stress can you see were I’m going, not to mention your rage could turn to instant death or debilitation,

Reason number three to practice defensive driving. At the end of that past paragraph insurance was mentioned well I let you think about this one, if you take your defensive driving certificate to you insurance agent what do you think is more likely to happen insurance rate go up or insurance rate go down.

OK did you figure it out great if not re-read that first part for eternity. Now that your insurance is down and you have less stress more money and a better chance of survival what else could there be.

So I bet you want to be a defensive driver now and help the road world be a better place well I’m happy for you just remember were you seat belt or else all these stuff is useless.

By the way there are many defensive driving courses on line some are boring but there is one that is made to be funny and interesting the courses range from 30-100 dollars. If you want to become a better driver, reduce points on your license or get a lower insurance rate I would recommend taking a defensive driving course.

Bill Derrick asked:


When a driver has received a moving violation, the last thing on their mind is the quality of the material that they will be studying in their state approved online defensive driving course. They usually just want to get through traffic school as quickly and as easily as possible, so that they can get on with their lives and try to get that ticket dismissed.

One of the recent innovations that has come with the web is the online defensive driving course. Students take this course in place of the traditional classroom-taught traffic school class, and receive the same certificate of completion that the other students get, while working from the comfort of home.

There are several reasons why someone might choose to take an online defensive driving course rather than going to the classroom. First is the convenience of location. For some, the nearest traffic school is halfway across town. Online schools allow them to work from their computers, and the web-based providers give them the opportunity to go one better and work from any Internet-enabled computer. That means the student can do some of their coursework at home and some at the office, or at a university computer lab, the public library, or even on a laptop at the local coffee shop. Location is key for these students.

Others appreciate the convenience of time. Taking a state approved online defensive driving course, depending on where the student lives, can be an all-day process. But with the web providers, students are sometimes permitted not only to work at any time of the day or night, but also to come and go from the course as their schedule permits, without putting in a minimum duration in order for the class session to count. That means that if the phone rings, the student doesn’t lose the ten minutes they’ve already put in, nor do they need to ignore the call. It can be very handy, especially in today’s busy world!

An often-unseen benefit to taking traffic school online, though, is the convenience for the instructors. Traffic schools are constantly updating their material to include the latest laws and regulations, which can be numerous from one year to the next. Just recently, a texting-while-driving law went into effect in California. This law was not on the books last year, so every traffic school in the state needs to address the change.

For an old-style classroom course, this modification could mean change pages inserted into a printed handbook, getting the word out to each instructor, and hoping that the information is passed along to students. In an online course, one person can go in and make the change so that all students see it at once. This gives the online students an advantage over others, not only in having current information but in knowing the latest laws to obey once they are back out on the road. That, in turn, makes it less likely they’ll be pulled over and need to take, you guessed it, traffic school.

Brooke Hayles asked:


When your child turns 16, it is almost a certainty that the first worlds out of their mouth will be “When can I get my drivers license?”

While this is a milestone in your child’s life, it is important that they understand the importance of getting a driver education and realize that along with a drivers license comes great responsibility.

Depending on which state you live in, a learner’s permit can be obtained when your teenager is around 15. In order for them to get the license, they need to meet a certain criteria, which includes a specific amount of driving time.

When your child is ready for driver education, it is important that they have the right attitude. They need to understand that a driver’s license is a responsibility that is not to be taken lightly. They need to understand that they cannot have a nonchalant attitude. This could affect their chances of obtain a license if the instructor feels that your teenager is not taking the class seriously.

Although it is cool to show off, it is not going to help you get your license if you are eating or talking on your cell phone when you are behind the wheel. It is an absolute certainty that your instructor will not think it is cool.

When you enroll in driver education, it is important your states department of motor vehicles certify the school.

These schools are up to date on all of the rules and laws of the state in which you live, and can teach you everything you need to know to become a safe driver. Driving school instructors have to pass painstaking tests in order to be licensed to teach.

Parents of teenage drivers can help in getting driver education. They are encouraged to take their child out driving. The more road time they log, the more secure they will feel driving. It not only gives them confidence, it also gives you piece of mind knowing that they are safe drivers.

Patience is the key factor in driving with your teenager. If you are high strung and nervous, it will affect the driver. If you feel that you cannot drive with your teenager have the other parent or friend drive with them.

Before you let your teenager get behind the wheel, it is important that they know the rules of the road and what each street sign signifies. Make sure they study the drivers’ manual and quiz them often. He or she is bound to be a little nervous when they drive with you they want to impress you. If they forget what a sign means do not make a big deal of it, simply study with them when you get home.

An empty parking lot is the perfect place for your child to practice driving and get used of the car being used. This is especially important if your car and the driver education cars are of different models.

Make sure your child understands what to do in case of an emergency. This is crucial especially if they are driving and their tire goes flat.

Summary:

Driver education will teach your teenager the rules of the road as well as how to become a safe defensive driver. Quiz them often, even if it is a quick trip to the store, ask them questions about driving. It is important that you be supportive and not critical of the abilities. Building confidence is a major factor when it comes to teenagers and driving. If they make a mistake, let them know and continue to let them drive.

John Parks asked:


In the city of Baghdad , the capitol of the Middle Eastern nation of Iraq , a nation occupied by American Military Forces, the International Airport is 12 kilometers distant from the safe area, called the Green Zone. Baghdad has an international zone at its city centre, around the Republican Palace in a crook of the Tigris River. This area is the heavily fortified headquarters for the International Coalition and Iraqi Reconstruction Ministries. It started out being called the “Green Zone” but was later changed to the “International Zone” in June of 2004 with the return of sovereignty to the Iraqi people. However, the inhabitants, armed forces, and media have returned to calling it the Green Zone

Only one road connects the fortified Airport and the besieged Green Zone, making it the most accessible and vulnerable target for terrorists. That road is called Baghdad ’s Route Irish, and is the single most dangerous road in the world. Many in the media incorrectly associate the name ‘Route Irish’ with the 69th National Guard Regiment out of New York , which is descended from an American Civil War unit made up of predominantly Irish immigrants. Baghdad ’s Route Irish is actually named after the football team of the University of Notre Dame, called the Fighting Irish. This follows the tradition of naming the Main Supply Routes (MSRs) and Alternative Supply Routes (ASRs) after sport steams. For example, there are other routes such are Route Giants, Route Senators, and Route Red-Wings.

Many dangerous attacks have taken place on Baghdad ’s Route Irish, with casualties on both sides of the divide. Given the restrictive nature of the Baghdad ’s route, through 12 kilometres of densely built city and the fact that it is the soul route used by businessman, military leaders, politicians, supplies and other high-value targets, terrorists often target the convoys and travellers. To defend against this, most convoys travelling on Baghdad ’s Route Irish hire private security companies such as Backwater (US), ArmorGroup (UK) and Erinys Iraq Limited ( Iraq ).

On Baghdad ’s Route Irish, these men, all former military or highly trained security professionals, are the only thing that stands between the terrorists and their prey. They use an array of modern security technology, ranging from small arms to assault rifles and grenades to heavily armoured vehicles with powerful engines and bulletproof glass and personal armour like bulletproof vests. The drivers of the vehicles train constantly in coordinated defensive driving, using two or more vehicles in a defensive formation to keep danger at bay for as long as possible. The men and women who defend the defenceless on Baghdad ’s Route Irish put their lives on the line with ever ride.

As often as possible, multiple companies will attempt to form convoys of multiple vehicles for added protection, coordinating via radio and hand signals as they drive. Sometimes the civilian contractors and businessmen will travel with military convoys for added protection, but there is no sure-fire defence along Baghdad ’s Route Irish.

Abhishek Agarwal asked:


Some people think that people with psychic ability can help us see the future. Others thing that psychics are spiritualists or mediums that can help strengthen our faith by communicating with spirits. Others look to technology for predictions and greater understanding. They think sophisticated computer models can tell us what’s going to happen, maybe even prevent it.

If you look across the world and its peoples, you’ll see a huge variety of philosophies and belief systems. You’ll find scientists who don’t believe anything they can’t touch or count, and you’ll find mystics who rely on astrology and telepathy to predict the future. It’s hard to say who’s right and who’s wrong. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.

How do you know who and what to believe? Take weathermen, for example. They use scientific fact and experience to predict the weather, but they’re often wrong. They’ll predict rain, and the sun will shine. They create public panics with dire warnings of huge snow and ice storms. Groceries fill, lines back up, and people scramble to prepare. Then nothing happens.

The fact is that no one has found a fool-proof way predict the future. Neither scientist nor mystic would put a bet on their prediction. So what do we depend on? Who can we trust?

Another fact is that we must judge every prediction based on our own knowledge, experience, and intuitive abilities. We can’t depend completely on others to tell us what’s real. We must protect ourselves against falsehood and deception, even when it results from honest mistakes or misunderstanding.

Cultivating individual psychic self-defense is the way to protect ourselves against falsehood and learn to rely on our inner wisdom. Developing these skills take time, effort, and practice.

How can people develop psychic self-defense skills?

Many psychics will tell you that they were born with their ability. Others admit that they work on their skills to improve them. Often, psychic abilities result from traumatic events that mysteriously waken awareness, heighten consciousness, or sharpen natural physical senses.

However, normal people can build their intuitive and psychic abilities by following a few simple, but not easy, steps. One way is to do things that free the subconscious mind and repressed talents. Once these abilities are brought to the surface, we can work on them and make them stronger.

An important thing to know is that it is almost impossible to make these changes until our spiritual core and physical body are free from negative influences and energies. When we have undergone this cleansing, we can learn to use and nurture our positive, intuitive power. As we mature on this path, we will find ourselves better able to make good decisions, cope with stress and anxiety, and remain positive in a sometimes hazardous world.

People that are trying to develop spiritually and improve their psychic self-defense may not be aware of their own psychic strength, and this can end in misfortune and tragedy. It’s important that, before we begin, we are aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. We must take some first steps at personal change to eliminate our own negative traits before we can make true progress in strengthening our aura.

What is my aura?

Each person has an aura that reflects his inner spiritual core or energy. Like the auras that surround stars with natural light, the aura is a field of energy surrounding matter. Positive people with strong healthy bodies, minds, and spirits have strong, brightly-colored auras, while people who are ill or dominated by negative thinking have auras that are weak and dark. Auras can expand when a person’s spiritual power grows, and they can collapse when it diminishes.

Negative energy or influences can drain the healthy aura, reflecting the damage they do to a person’s inner spiritual life and strength. Keeping one’s spiritual energy and aura strong protects mind, body, and soul. The aura can be seen as a shield protecting us from the negative entities, energies, and influences that assault us every day.

In order to become stronger in spirit and to radiate a strong healthy aura, we must pursue personal self-development. Success brings us to higher levels of consciousness, strengthens our intuitive powers, improves our personal relationships, and raises our quality of life.

Freeing subconscious thoughts and repressed abilities is a positive, healthy life choice. It allows us to express our true nature and creativity and makes us more productive members of society. It restores and replenishes natural energy and drive. It helps us develop a new set of skills, intuition and psychic insight. And it helps us improve our physical health and bring our emotions into healthy balance.

Working on better psychic self-defense and personal growth helps us resolve long-standing inner conflicts and become more balanced, integrated personalities. It helps us set and reach meaningful personal goals. And it helps us understand and have more compassion for others. The bottom line: it makes us better human beings.

Abhishek Agarwal asked:


In today’s technology-drive world, life has become automated and habitual. We have become dependent on technology to communicate with each other and to make important decisions. We like to think that technology makes our lives easier, but many question that assumption. Rather, technology can become a task-master, creating work it was supposed to save and complicating the simple.

Overwhelmed by information and events, people easily believe what they’re told and stop thinking for themselves. Our daily lives are governed by the laws rules of our society. Many developed societies are so focused on wealth and material possessions that they dismiss and disbelieve things of the spirit.

With estrangement from the mystical and spiritual aspects of life comes corruption of values and domination of negative influences. Calling them luxuries, we engage in sloth, covetousness, and gluttony. And in the fight to win more “luxuries,” many people find negative emotions boiling up. Anger, hatred, and violence are evidence of increasing social gaps, feelings of isolation and deprivation, and general discontent with life.

There is a solution, though it may not become part of pop culture. Spiritual development and psychic self-defense are critical to shield us against the negative energies abundant in the world today. They’re effective armament against stress, anxiety, and despair.

All matter contains energy. As human beings, our energy radiates from us in what we call the aura. People with good physical health, positive mental attitudes, and spiritual strength have strong bright auras. People who are ill, pessimistic, or spiritually poor have weak dark auras. When negative energy dominates a person, they can actually drain the energy or aura of healthy people. We call this a psychic attack.

We defend ourselves from psychic attacks by developing spiritually and strengthening our aura. This process of inner healing and self-development takes time, effort, and patience. But the rewards of the work are abundant.

The positive energy and strength revealed by a strong bright aura leads to greater understanding, compassion, and prosperity. Negative energy revealed by a weak dark aura lead to anxiety, intolerance, struggle, and despair. Eliminating negative energies from our body, mind, and spirit encourages spiritual growth and development and counters negative influences from outside. A strong spiritual life and health aura are a shield against psychic attacks.

When you embark on the journey of spiritual development, the first step is reducing and eliminating your negative energies. This requires thoughtful introspection and honesty about your weaknesses and strengths. It involves replacing negative thoughts and feelings with positive ones. It means changing our daily routines and habits – eating a healthy diet, exercising, building relationships, and nurturing the spirit.

There is a set of tools and techniques to help us on this journey. Meditation is the most powerful of all the tools. It quiets internal voices and stills negative energies. It helps us find and develop our inner strengths. It reduces stress and increases natural joy. Meditation is a powerful tool for spiritual development that increases positive energies and helps build a strong protective aura.

Other practices also help. Yoga prepares the body for effective meditation by training us to relax the body and learn to breathe properly. Naturopathy, aromatherapy, and color therapy are excellent ways to nurture positive outlook and energy. Exposure to nature through long walks and quiet reflection in a natural setting also free us to eliminate negative energies.

Building a strong core of positive energy is essential for psychic self-defense. This means reaching and releasing repressed abilities like intuition. It means bringing your creative nature to the surface. It means creating a physical and mental environment where your spirit can grow and thrive. It means finding and nurturing your true self. The more authentic you are, the stronger your aura and psychic self-defense.

You can find other techniques that help you personally. Anything that promotes concentration also restores natural positive energy. Anything that stimulates positive thoughts and emotions in you also strengthens your spirit and your aura. Anything that allows you to relax and enjoy a wholesome life also allows you to grow spiritually.

You don’t need medication or surgery to remove or avoid negative energy. You don’t need treatment centers and psychotherapy. You need a healthy body, an alert mind, healthy emotions, and a sense of your personal relationship to the universe.

These methods have been used by sages and holy people since man began to write down his thoughts and history. They are fundamental to spiritual growth and psychic health. They allow us to clear guilt and shame away, replacing those with joy and self-respect.

Every step in your spiritual journey will bring a new discovery, a new surprise. You will become happier, more self-confident, and more productive. You will contribute to a healthier, more positive society as well.

Michael R. Sears asked:


THE HIDDEN AGENDA OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

By Michael R. Sears Copyright 2-26-09

THE FOLLOWING 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto by Carl Marx:

First Plank: Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Zoning – Model ordinances proposed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover widely adopted. Supreme Court ruled “zoning” to be “constitutional” in 1921. Private owners of property required to get permission from government relative to the use of their property. Federally owned lands are leased for grazing, mining, timber usages, the fees being paid into the U.S. Treasury.)

Second Plank: A heavy progressive or graduated incometax. (Corporate Tax Act of 1909. The 16th Amendment, allegedly ratified in 1913. The Revenue Act of 1913, section 2, Income Tax. These laws have been purposely misapplied against American citizens to this day.)

Third Plank: Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (Partially accomplished by enactment of various state and federal “estate tax” laws taxing the “privilege” of transfering property after death and gift before death.)

Fourth Plank: CONFISCATION OF THE PROPERTY OF ALL EMIGRANTS AND REBELS. (The confiscation of property and persecution of those critical – “rebels” – of government policies and actions, frequently accomplished by prosecuting them in a courtroom drama on charges of violations of non-existing administrative or regulatory laws.)

Fifth Plank: Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. (The Federal Reserve Bank, 1913- -the system of privately-owned Federal Reserve banks which maintain a monopoly on the valueless debt “money” in circulation.)

Sixth Plank: Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State. (Federal Radio Commission, 1927; Federal Communications Commission, 1934; Air Commerce Act of 1926; Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938; Federal Aviation Agency, 1958; becoming part of the Department of Transportation in 1966; Federal Highway Act of 1916 (federal funds made available to States for highway construction); Interstate Highway System, 1944 (funding began 1956); Interstate Commerce Commission given authority by Congress to regulate trucking and carriers on inland waterways, 1935-40; Department of Transportation, 1966.)

Seventh Plank: Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. (Depart-ment of Agriculture, 1862; Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 — farmers will receive government aid if and only if they relinquish control of farming activities; Tennessee Valley Authority, 1933 with the Hoover Dam completed in 1936.)

Eighth Plank: Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies especially for agriculture. (First labor unions, known as federations, appeared in 1820. National Labor Union established 1866. American Federation of Labor established 1886. Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 placed railways under federal regulation. Department of Labor, 1913. Labor-management negotiations sanctioned under Railway Labor Act of 1926. Civil Works Administration, 1933. National Labor Relations Act of 1935, stated purpose to free inter-state commerce from disruptive strikes by eliminating the cause of the strike. Works Progress Administration 1935. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, mandated 40-hour work week and time-and-a-half for overtime, set “minimum wage” scale. Civil Rights Act of 1964, effectively the equal liability of all to labor.)

Ninth Plank: Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country. (Food processing companies, with the co-operation of the Farmers Home Administration foreclosures, are buying up farms and creating “conglomerates.”)

Tenth Plank: Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. (Gradual shift from private education to publicly funded began in the Northern States, early 1800’s. 1887: federal money (unconstitutionally) began funding specialized education. Smith-Lever Act of 1914, vocational education; Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 and other relief acts of the 1930’s. Federal school lunch program of 1935; National School Lunch Act of 1946. National Defense Education Act of 1958, a reaction to Russia’s Sputnik satellite demonstration, provided grants to education’s specialties. Federal school aid law passed, 1965, greatly enlarged federal role in education, “head-start” programs, textbooks, library books.

Most of the US media has a radical liberal agenda. Most of the US media is for free speech but only if that speech is their free speech and only if it agrees with them and their philosophy. Most of the US media are controlled by the New World Order and their “news” is like puppets with strings being pulled by the puppeteers called news anchors and reporters. This is the beginnings of socialism / communism, my friends, which is where we are headed like a run away freight train going down a 45 degree incline into a nitroglycerin factory.

They are now taking over the financial institutions and wall street. They say it is temporary, you know, sort of like the income tax was “temporary”. There are few things that they need to do now. They have most of the major medias in their pocket, except Fox and I heard them already beginning their campaign of disenfranchisement by saying Fox is nothing but a tabloid station with some news on it occasionally. They are probably sending in spies to infiltrate it and dilute it to where it can subtly become as the other government mouthpieces of communism and socialism where Euthanasia, abortion, adultery, fornication, greed, murder, and violence are allowed, many times by omission, to fill the earth, as it was in the days of Noah.

They must squelch free speech and dissent and confiscate the means for people to protect themselves. They must control the food and water supply. They already have our children in their government run brainwashing and social engineering mills called “schools”. This is why they are dead set against vouchers or home schooling, because it rids the government of the means to properly socially engineer and brain wash our children and takes this power away from the state. It makes them animals of chance rather than beings of creation and if you are just an animal with no future beyond this world, what does it matter what you do or what they do to you? Let’s party, kill, and plunder all to the rightful place of the fittest and according to our every pleasure let us delight in our delicacies for no moral law applies and there is no consequence beyond this life. The only consequence may be if we are caught and have to pay a price according to man’s laws.

I believe it is not beyond the tyranny of our government to use foreign troops or gangs to enforce their austere wickedness upon the American people and to provide a means for interment or execution of those dissenters the government deems dangerous. Massive facilities of concentration for interment already exist, awaiting the trains loaded with, not only the Jews, but any dissenter of the state—(This is like a plot from a Stephen King book, I realize, only this is reality.)

What about the illegal aliens they are purposely letting in? Are they on an intended and planned course for the destruction of America and for chaos? They love chaos, let us not forget, for by chaos they can advance their lock down of control, new laws, gun confiscation, free speech removal, and move toward their planned goal of absolute rule and control.

To quote Hillary Clintons favorite book (Brave New World). “Everyone belongs to everyone else.” The social classes are starkly defined so that there is no mistake, in fact engineered as such, so take some soma and relax and get with the NWO program. I guess that’s why it takes a village. Well, the NWO rules do not apply to the elite, of course, for they are the upper Alphas, not the lower castes. The rules are just for the common peons and imbeciles called the common folks. They have no capacity to think for themselves anyway and this is partially true, especially after public education has ***** and brain washed them. Now the state must think for them, feed them, clothe them, and send them to their specified duties, many of which (about 40% now) have no other paid duty except to vote in those same charlatans they think are great leaders in order to maintain their socialistic state and their assurance of perpetuated “free” funds, food, and housing rolling in monthly. This frees them up to do other important family things like deal drugs and rob others to supplement their incomes, thus more chaos to make more laws and rules from and take away more freedoms.

They are already taxing us beyond our means and are going to impose upon us many more taxes, direct and indirect, along with a plethora of licensing fees for every task in the name of protecting the public. They have their greasy fingers on the knobs controlling the banks and gasoline and the stock market indirectly. They use the “Fed”, which is not federal in any way but is an INTERNATIONAL group of bankers with no loyalty to any country but the filthy lucre they trade for men’s souls. They just want to load up the mules to almost the point of breaking their backs, but not break them and if they, perchance, may break many mules backs, they can always get new ones without much trouble. They’re just expendable mules anyway.

The whole bail out / Nationalization scam is to withdraw their money from their bank which is the bank of the people’s pockets and put it into their coffers to fund these last days projects orchestrated by the devil himself.

They may even have a race war planned for the near future, as this causes chaos and they can really run in a grab things in such chaos and they usually have the gall to name those new sets of rules or laws passed as a consequence exactly the opposite from what they stand for, such as The Patriot Act and now The Fairness Doctrine with new gigantic bureaucratic agencies they can form to **** up more money like a black hole (Homeland Security, all types of Czars over all types of things, etc.). They are coming forth like mushrooms in a dark cave. I don’t even want to mention what the trigger for a race war might be, but you can use your imagination, if it hasn’t been fried in the crucible of our educational Reich.

 

The few things remaining for them to do:

1. They must control or discredit Fox and other conservative news sources —– They want to make people believe Fox is a tabloid station. They are on a campaign now to demonize it. They are calling those who descent **** TALKERS, like something from a George Orwell book or better yet a Stephen King novel, which would be more accurate.

2. They must control talk radio —– Institute the “fairness” doctrine. They are actively trying to do this now.

3. They must control the internet —- This is a tough one, but it may be no match for the evil minds now aided by Satanic forces themselves. They have already talked about taxing each e-mail we send. They could tax it, which is what they want to do badly and could bring in much revenue, as they are greedy gangsters that can never have enough of our blood money. They would sell their own mother for their own comfort. They have already given the government (NSA) complete ability to monitor at will this medium. They may just pretend to keep it open as a form of intelligence to be able to track people down that are dissenting against them.

4. Squelch any free speech efforts –first amendment: They are now successfully doing this with any dissenters. They demonize them, call them **** talkers, or attack them like they did ole Joe the plumber.

5. Gun freedoms — This one has been done away with for years now. Now they want to get all the guns from everyone, not just control who can carry them. By the way, the criminals will have guns no matter what the law says because they are LAW BREAKERS anyway. Gun laws are always against law abiding citizens, not criminals, although this is the lame excuse they always use. In the places where the most stringent gun bans exist are the places that have the MOST gun violence. The places were law abiding citizens are allowed to carry firearms, the crime rate is much lower—–Duh? What part of this do they not get or do they get it but want the firearms so they can come and get us when and where they want without having their ***** blown in half.

6. Taxes — more and more—-this is what the planned and orchestrated bail outs are all about. Bailouts to get taxes from us to give to the international bankers and all their buddies. Taxes —-more and more so they can make us where all we do is work and pay them our money so we can be better controlled and not ever allowed to get to the point of being ahead a little to encourage some entrepreneurial spirit and let us maybe have our own little business for us and our families — oh no, that won’t ever do for them, as they want our blood too and don’t care who they have to abort, euthanise, make laws against, rob, rape, and murder. They already take our money when we die and give it to themselves rather than letting our children rightfully inherit it. They don’t look at the years and years some poor soul who had to live like a pauper and sacrifice until they began to be successful and make good revenues due to their hard work and sacrifice. No they don’t even consider that, do they? They only look at what they are making right now and want to take most of that.

I see adds every day of law firms saying how they will get between you and the IRS and how they can get the IRS to reduce the fantastic amounts you owe, etc. Since when did we have to hire lawyers to fight some stupid government agency who is acting like a thief toward us and robbing us of our money. We shouldn’t have to hire any lawyers to protect us against this Gestapo like agency that has such broad powers as to be able with the stroke of a pen to take everything we own and even incarcerate us for years. This is no longer America. It has been taken over by thieves, scoundrels, liars, murderers, and thugs. It has become mafia like and has no respect for our constitution, bill of rights, or even common human decency. They are treasonous imposters who are communists and socialists and have taken over our government. Welcome to the New World Order (Novus Ordo Seclorum) This Latin term is on your dollar bill and has come to fruition.

7. Control the food and water supplies. They now want to tax your ground water from your private well. This has been discussed. Next they will want to tax pond water. Don’t laugh. There are now laws on the books also, against “hording” food.

8. New laws are coming down the pike that will make our now ridiculous ones look like reasonable ones, like a tax on how many miles you drive, on how big your “carbon footprint” is, on how much plastic you buy………..use your imagination.

9. Distract people with entertainment, sports, and TV. Why do you think that the government is funding every “Americans” right to have viable TV in their home? It is a mighty propaganda and brain washing tool owned mostly by the NWO. The TV may even be capable now of looking and listening into your own home.

10. Distract and deceive people with religion, not Christianity, which is totally different from man’s religions, which include most of the “ism’s”. The news media continually has religion reports and brainwashes the world into thinking that this dismal display of effeminate, whitewashed dogma dressed in costumes supposedly portraying Christ’s kingdom or dressed in a prosperity doctrine is Christianity. It is the furthermost thing from it. Most of the world does not know what Christianity really is and means. Many of the false teachings and religions can be found on your TV. Religions are also many organizations parading and charading as innocuous peace loving do gooders such as the Masons and Shrinners. Outright idolatrous cults exist such as Mormonism, Muslimism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others. Some claim to be Christian and these are the worse, since they say they are for Christ and yet, have idols they worship and a man they look to whose word supposedly comes from God who sits on a throne made of gold and jewels. (Read Revelation 17).

11. Last but definitely not least is Israel. The Jews are the original chosen people of Elohim and are the writers of the Tenach (old testament) and the New Testament. They are the sole writers. Our modern day bible was 100% written by Jews. Our bible is a 100% Jewish book. The Saviour of the world, Yahushua Ha Masheah (Jesus Christ) came from this chosen people. Satan hates the Jews for these reasons more than any other people. Satan hates mankind and wants his complete destruction, but especially the Jews.

The desire for the destruction of Israel by Satanic forces is increasing. His time is close. The Bulls of Bashan now encompass Israel all about and are waiting to rush in and gore it to death. America seems to be a major obstacle standing in the way. After America is taken out of the way, Russia and the Muslim nations will come against Israel, but will not destroy it. Their bodies will lie upon the mountains of Jerusalem and it will take seven months to bury them. America seems to not even be mentioned during this time. America is right now leaning away from Israel. America has proposed 900 million dollars to re-build Gaza. This money will go directly to Hamas, of course. Is the present administration pro-Moslem or worse yet, Moslem? Does the present administration **** Israel? America’s prosperity is directly tied to Israel and its destruction may be, as well.

Note:

When writing this last thing on the list, my computer was suddenly taken over by someone else and they erased this number 11, which I had not yet saved and then closed down the MS application I was on. I had to get back on it and asked Elohim to help me remember it all, which I did. Reminds me of the scripture: 2 Corinthians 10: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (that is not physical–you know like tanks, jets, carriers, computer genuises, NSA programs, NWO manipulation, etc.), but are mighty (not weak like their physical weapons), through Elohim (God) to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim….”

If they are able to do these few things, they can fully put the blind fold on, not us, but them, and lead them to the cliff. We are getting there quickly now. They have stepped up their march and see their goal ahead on the mountain.

Some lady on Air Force One the other day stated that if you opened up Obama there would be a little Buddha inside.

We need to answer the question of who are “THEY”?

They are those who believe in the New World Order and are against freedom and for the destruction of the constitution and are against Christianity and are for abortion and homosexuality. They are those who **** Judaism and Christianity and love other religions including humanism, Darwinism, Science falsely so called, socialism, communism, and many other “ism’s”. They are those who espouse socialism and communism and call it by other names. They are those who **** the first and second amendment especially and **** Christians and Jews particularly. They are the wicked and evil ones who do not have any idea that they are evil and wicked and do not understand. They are the wicked that Daniel speaks of in Daniel 12: “…but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” The wise are the Christians and Jews who have the Holy Spirit in them and live by the Tenach and / or the New Testament.

I would like to leave you with this thought: II Thessalonians 2: “Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of Yahushua Ha Masheah (our Lord Jesus Christ) and by our gathering together unto him, that you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Yahusha (Christ) is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he as God sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. Remember that when I (Paul) was with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity does already work, only he who now lets will let, (Elohim), until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that lawless one be revealed, who the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Elohim (God) shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness…..” Read also Romans 1, to go along with this.

Neil Lemons asked:


With gas prices so high, the media is awash with lists of gas-saving tips. Well how’s this for a tip? If you listen to us, you can see hybrid-type savings without having to buy a new car.

By changing your driving habits you can improve fuel economy up to 37 percent right away (depending on how you drive). Combine several tips and perform routine maintenance and you will save real dollars, not just pennies.

A miracle? All we did was take several of the most common tips out there and put them to the test over a remote 55-mile route in the high desert of California. Some of them worked like a charm. Some of them didn’t work at all. We’ll give you the breakdown.

These tests were done under real-world conditions and not in a government lab somewhere. Our results can be matched by anyone and even you.

The wonderful part about what we found is that improving your car’s mileage is just a matter of changing your habits. Stack a few of these winners together and we’ll bet that you’ll see a substantial savings at the pump and without the need for a new car.

The results of each test are summarized directly below, for people with ADD. If you would like to know the details and methods of each of the six tests, keep reading until the end.

Test #1 Aggressive Driving vs. Moderate Driving

Result: Major savings potential

The Cold Hard Facts: Up to 37 percent savings, average savings of 31 percent.

Recommendation: Stop driving like a maniac.

Test #2 Lower Speeds Saves Gas

Result: Substantial savings on a long trip

Cold Hard Facts: Up to 14 percent savings, average savings of 12 percent.

Recommendation: Drive the speed limit.

Lower Speeds Saves Gas: Read the entire test

Test #3 Use Cruise Control

Result: Surprisingly effective way to save gas

Cold Hard Facts: Up to 14-percent savings, average savings of 7 percent.

Recommendation: If you’ve got it, use it.

Test #4 A/C On, Windows Up vs. A/C Off, Windows Down

Result: Nice in theory; not true in practice.

Cold Hard Facts: No measurable difference (unless you open the sunroof, too!).

Recommendation: Please, make yourself comfortable.

Test #5 Check Your Tire Pressure

Result: Important for safety and to reduce tire wear.

Cold Hard Facts: No measurable effect on the vehicles we tested.

Recommendation: Check your tire pressure often, but don’t expect a big savings.

Test #6 Avoid Excessive Idling

Result: More important than we assumed.

Cold Hard Facts: Avoiding excessive idling can save up to 19 percent.

Recommendation: Stopping longer than a minute? Shut ‘er down.

The Tests

Our results are based on two separate fuel testing sessions. On each occasion we took two cars from the Edmunds.com long-term fleet and drove on a 56-mile test loop. Our route circled Owens Lake near Lone Pine, California, at the foot of Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states. We chose the route because it was so deserted we could vary our speed and driving style without interfering with the flow of traffic. The only other cars we saw on the route were a caravan of test vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. We drove the loops back-to-back to ensure that we were comparing similar wind and temperatures. We logged our results and later put them on a spreadsheet where the results were averaged.

Test #1: Aggressive vs. Moderate Driving

This is gonna hurt. Our tests showed that the most significant way to save gas is: you. And we’re talking massive fuel economy gains. Think you need a hybrid? Chances are you’ve got hybrid-style mileage in your gas pedal foot. Don’t mash the gas when you start up. Take the long view of the road and brake easy. This tip alone can save you unbelievable amounts of gas. If you slowed your 0-to-60-mph acceleration time down from your current 10 seconds to a more normal city pace of 15 seconds, you’ll feel the savings immediately.

Method: We conducted this test four times. The first time we did the full 55-mile loop once by accelerating aggressively 15 times at 3/4-throttle from zero to a cruising speed of 75 mph. We also applied the brakes hard to come to a full stop. Then, we drove the second loop by accelerating moderately 15 times at 1/4-throttle to a cruising speed of 70 mph. We braked lightly to a full stop. In the second set of tests we drove 25 miles making 25 rapid accelerations to 65 mph at 3/4-throttle. After 1 minute of cruising we braked hard and repeated the cycle up to 65 mph. We then drove the same distance making 25 moderation accelerations to 60 mph at 1/4-throttle. After 1 minute of cruising we applied the brakes easily and came to a full stop.

Test #2 Lower Speeds Saves Gas

Remember a thing called the speed limit? On most highways it is either 65 or 70 mph. How fast are the cars and trucks around you going? From 75 mph to 90 mph. These people are wasting a lot of gas for the chance to get there a little earlier. Factor in safety concerns and a speeding ticket once or twice a year and going fast is a costly proposition.

Method: This test was simple. For 50 miles we drove with the cruise control set at 65 mph. Then, for another 50-mile stretch we drove with cruise set at 75 mph. We repeated this test going in the opposite direction. It is amazing how obvious the difference in gas mileage was. Just think what would have happened if we had slowed down to 60 mph. The only problem is with impatient drivers behind you. One driver became so irate that he tried to run our editor off the road. Still, if you are pinched by gas prices. Leave a little early and drive the speed limit (in the slow lane).

Test #3 Use Cruise Control

Using cruise control is a bit of gas-saving advice frequently on tips lists. We have always agreed with this tip in theory but we hadn’t expected such significant results. First, it smoothes out the driver’s accelerator input by preventing nervous “surging.” Second, it makes the driver take the long view of the road rather than reacting to every change in the traffic around them.

Method: We did this test twice with four different cars each time driving the 55-mile loop. The first time we set cruise control to 70 mph. The second time, with the cruise control off, we varied our speed between 65 mph and 75 mph. We tried to mimic the driving style of a person who is in moderate freeway traffic.

One thing that’s important to note: if you are in a mountainous area you should turn off cruise. It will try to keep you up to the speed you’ve set and will use a lot of extra gas downshifting to lower gears to accomplish this.

Test #4 A/C On, Windows Up vs. A/C Off, Windows Down

This has got to take you back to the days with the family on vacation. Dad says, “Turn the A/C off! It wastes gas!” And Mom says, “We can’t roll the windows down or everyone on the highway will think we can’t afford A/C.” And you’re in the back roasting, hoping someone will win the argument so you can cool off.

Well, family psychology aside, if dads are still saying this, they aren’t necessarily right. While the A/C compressor does pull power from the engine wasting some gas, the effect appears to be fairly minimal in modern cars. And putting the windows down tends to increase drag on most cars, canceling out any measurable gain from turning the A/C off. But this one depends on the model you’re driving. When we opened the sunroof in our SUV, the mileage did decrease even with the A/C off. Still, in our experience, it’s not worth the argument because you won’t save a lot of gas either way. So just do what’s comfortable.

Method: We drove the full 55 mile-loop in two cars at equal speeds both times at 65 mph. The first loop we drove with the A/C on and the windows up. The second loop we drove with the A/C off and windows down. In the second test we drove 20-mile loops. This was far enough to see our gas mileage level off and remain steady on the computer trip meter.

Test #5: Check Your Tire Pressure

No matter how many times drivers hear about the importance of tire pressure, most of them don’t do anything about it. They probably don’t like squatting beside their car in a busy gas station with fumes swirling around them. But is it important? The answer is yes, for a number of reasons. Properly inflated tires are less likely to fail at high speeds. They wear more evenly and, yes, they deliver better gas mileage. How much? In this test we saw a modest difference in two of the cars. It might have been more dramatic with different tires on different cars. Experts swear by it; we couldn’t really document it. And we wound up wondering if tire technology, like the design in other areas of the car, had improved.

Eventually, we concluded that each set of tires is different and every vehicle is different. We recommend that you do your own tests to see what inflation setting gives you the best fuel economy.

Method: We drove the 55-mile test loop four times at 60 mph and twice with tires at or above proper inflation. Once, we did the test with the tires 5 psi below the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Since this produced very little difference we enlarged the gap and under inflated the tires by 8 psi. We felt that it was important to make sure the tires were inflated to the recommended level or above.

Test #6 Avoid Excessive Idling

If you turn off a light bulb as you leave the room you’ll save electricity. If you turn off your car you will save gas. Obviously. But related questions are more difficult to answer. If you’re only stopping for only a minute, is it better to shut off the engine or keep it idling? Should I shut off the engine in traffic? How much gas will this save? What rule of thumb do I use when trying to save gas this way?

Method: We took two cars and drove a 10-mile route stopping 10 times for two minutes. We shut down the car each time. Then we drove the same route at the same speed and let the car idle for two minutes.

Conclusions

The good news is that you can drastically improve your gas mileage. The caveat is that you have to change your driving habits. If you are willing to change, you’ll find many related benefits too: no speeding tickets, greater safety, reduced stress and lower repair bills for tires and brake pads. In the long run this will save you money. And who knows? You might like the new you.



Ted

Gina Gray asked:


A common theme: husbands complaining that their wives have lost their libido since they got married. Sometimes it’s a lack of communication that needs working out but many times it is something else. Her libido can diminish simply because of the daily routine, the “rut” and stresses of life. The fresh beginning and infatuation of the young relationship is over; and with it, the butterflies and extra energy. Once married for a while, every day is almost the same and marriage becomes a drag. The more of a rut, the more stress is generated. When she has stress, her libido takes a nose dive.

The fact is, husbands stressed too. Unlike a woman, however, a stressed out husband would love a little *** to release the stress. So on one hand, men need sexual release when they’re stressed and wives don’t want it when they’re stressed. Sounds like a serious conundrum doesn’t it ?

Consider that many husbands lose their desire to romance their wives after the honeymoon is over. After you’re married, the chase is over, and so is the fun , right? Wrong. When stress and the rut takes over, her desire for *** can dwindle over time to almost nothing.

How do you get her desire for you back? Quick response: cut her stress levels and romance her like you did when you first met. Take the reigns and advance from routine and taking your wife for granted to adding spark, passion and appreciation to your marriage.

You can begin by addressing the following areas:

1. Learn more about your wife. Sounds kind of silly: you already know your wife! But how much do you know her likes and dislikes. I’m talking the details. Do you know how she likes her sandwiches made? Do you know her favorite type of food? How does she order her salad? How does she take her coffee? Do you know what she dreams about? Learning these little things will benefit you in a big way. For example: if one morning you bring her a cup of her favorite tea made exactly the way she likes it, she will take note.

2. Be a husband your wife can trust. Never lie , never cheat, be dependable and do what you say you’re going to do. It’s more than the type of trust that comes with dependability – she has to trust you with her deep thoughts. How does one foster this deeper trust? It’s in how you react to her. For example: what do you do when she deals with a sensitive pet peeve she has with you? Do you get defensive and sarcastic, or do you listen and discuss it with her. Anger will foster fear of approaching you – no trust there. She needs to trust you with her inner thoughts and feelings. Then she can be closer to you; which means she will want more of you.

3. Don’t have expectations. When you’re serving her, she’s going to sense the “She better be hot tonight” idea bouncing around in your mind. Let go of that expectation and it will take the pressure off.

4. Serve your wife. Take time to work on giving her breaks and time to re-charge. If she has less stress, she’ll have energy for more intimacy – and more passion.

5. Make connections with her. Your wife needs to feel connected to you on a deeper level. Not enough time? Then turn off the TV, make a drink, turn on some music and kick back and talk. Making this kind of connection will give you great results.

6. Let her know she’s special. Romance and chivalry are not dead. If they are, then so is your *** life – or at least it will be. Hold hands, be sincere and tell her she’s the prettiest woman in the world to you, leave her little love notes – do nice thoughtful things for her.

As you do these things, feel good about the joy you bring her. Love her and she will return love. It will become less like work and more like a passion – and then you’ll see that she has passion and desire you forgot was there.
