2010 U.S. Debt will top 13.6 Trillion and climb to nearly 20 Trillion by 2015
The U.S. debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015, according to a Treasury Department report to Congress.
What does this mean for our country's future? things are looking pretty bleak - like we're on borrowed time ; and the mass media continues to sway from the issue, in what seems like a never ending parade of presenting us with side issues and cheap diversions. It's about time the American people faced this issue, without diluting themselves into thinking this Casino gulag economy can continue. Let's abandon the Federal Reserve system, back our currency with gold or silver and give congress it's authority to issue currency through the Treasury back - and watch how fast we all recover from this.
We've let the banks rob us blind, and people will only get angry (it seems) when they become hungry. That's really sad, because by then - it will be too late ; as we will all be powerless to change anything.
If a strong, and good country is what you want for your children, and your children's children - then admit your federal government is broken, and its financial system based on debt produced by private banks only cements this fact. Our children have already woken up on this once great land ; as hopeless slaves to the banking system. The hope of one owning their home outright has been crushed for so many ; and the Federal Government did nothing for you. They lined the pockets of their cronies and political pun dents.
Get a clue. This government doesn't work for you anymore, it works for the corporations and the private bank-sters.

Homeland security funds used for license plate readers at California mall
Homeland security funds used for license plate readers at California mall
News 10 in Calfornia has an interesting story about surveillance cameras and license plate readers co-funded by homeland security at the Arden Fair Mall.
SACRAMENTO, CA – Homeland Security funds have poured into the state of California since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, California counties have received almost $2 billion in anti-terrorism grants. Sacramento County has received $79 million.
Arden Fair Mall Security Chief Steve Reed said he's received $100,000 in federal funds. The money has gone toward two high-tech surveillance systems.
"This actually enables us to record data with our 142 cameras that mall purchased for $1.5 million," Reed said. "That money came from mall management, but it enabled me to tie the cameras into a system the federal government paid for."
Reed showed off that system set up in two offices at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. "We have a set of eyes here and another one if I'm watching in my office. And we have two more sets of eyes at the security information desk in the middle of the mall," he said.
Security officers watch escalators, stores, hallways, indoor and outdoor walkways and parking lots. "After a day of things that happen at the mall, if there's any footage that we need to retrieve, we can get it. We can give it to the appropriate law enforcement agency if they need it," Reed explained.
Security officers can zoom in and make hard copies of closeups. They can also record images onto a disk.
"We've been able to reduce crimes significantly and record slip and falls," Reed said. "If there's any kind of maintenance or safety issues we can take care of them because we see every nook and cranny at the mall which covers 77 acres."
Reed spent the rest of the federal funds on license plate readers mounted on security vehicles. "Officers drive up and down our parking lots and structures taking pictures of license plates," he said. "Everyday we're able to download a list of plates from Sacramento police stolen car reports. If the reader sees that plate, it sounds an alarm and we can call the authorities."
According to Reed, since the system was installed, it has found 21 stolen vehicles and resulted in the arrest of 22 individuals.
Sacramento Regional Transit has received $2 million from Homeland Security, according to Doug Voska, a Sacramento police officer who is under contract to RT. He runs the transit system's Video Control Center.
Like the mall, Voska has officers peering at screens attached to security cameras located at light rail stations and on board train cars.
"Prior to this, we had a piece-meal camera system with a few cameras here and there," said Voska. "Now we have a much better system and we can monitor each camera live as it sees what's happening now. And we can prevent any acts of terrorism and crimes."
Voska said officers can quickly be dispatched to the scene if problems arise.
"Part of the Homeland Security funding also provided for a public awareness campaign," Voska said. "Signs are posted telling passengers about the surveillance and how they can help us and protect the transit system."
Voska added that public response has been positive. "It not only makes them feel safer. They know they're actually safer," he said.

Mexican President Calderon Calls for Gun Control – American’s Call for Border Control
Mexican President Calderon Calls for Gun Control – American’s Call for Border Control
May 23rd, 2010 |
With the disgraceful show that Obama let Mexican President Felipe Calderon put on while in Washington, Calderon threw Obama a bone with his anti-gun rhetoric calling for the United States to pass another so called assault weapons ban, the failed Clinton era gun control scheme. Calderon called on congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban because he claims it would stem the flow of weapons into Mexico, the only problem with this argument is that it has been proven several times now that the vast majority of weapons being used by the drug cartels are coming either through Central/South America or are being stolen or purchased from the Mexican military itself. Mexican President Calderon comes to America calling for gun control, while American’s call for border control.
Mexico loves to show pictures of confiscated weapons, belt fed .50 caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, AK-47’s and so on. They have the media fawning over showing pictures of American made M-16’s made by Colt. Fine, the pictures show weapons, but so what? Fully automatic weapons are not being sold in the United States, belt fed machine guns don’t come from Walmart. The AK-47’s are Chinese and Russian made, Chinese AK-47’s have not been sold or brought into the US for twenty years. The Russian rifles have been altered to make automatic fire all but impossible, and the numbers being imported into the US simply don’t support the reality on the ground in Mexico. It is a well documented fact that Mexican government at all levels have sold or had otherwise given weapons to the drug cartels. This only covers the ones not taken by force or simply lost, which is a huge total, Mexico won’t even release the numbers the list is so bad.
Speaking of lists, last year when Eric Holder came out and said he would like to reinstate the Clinton era assault weapons ban, in his making the case for doing that he used numbers that were false, what a surprise. The original story was how that 80 percent plus of the weapons being recovered by Mexican authorities were coming from the United States and that the weapons were being tracked here. Not really the truth. The facts and figures got distorted a little, the percentage they were talking about is what the Mexican government was asking ATF to track by serial numbers. The 80 percent was the figure that showed that of the weapons submitted for tracking, 80 percent came from America. The key is of those submitted for tracking. When taken in the whole, the percentage of weapons coming from America being recovered by Mexican authorities is about 17 percent as best anyone can tell. A far cry from 80.
Using distortions is nothing new for the left, using distortions or flat out lies is a staple for the gun control crowd and has been for two decades. The fact that Mexico is spinning out of control in a drug war, has nothing to do with the Second Amendment in the United States. It is obvious that Mexican President Felipe Calderon can not get control of his own country and attempting to blame someone else for his nations problems is all this is. Calderon wants all the illegals to keep coming to the US, Calderon wants open borders, Calderon wants American’s disarmed. In the end what we have here is Obama letting Calderon come to Washington and trash America at every opportunity. Many along the border don’ t think they are armed well enough to deal with the illegals pouring into the United States. Maybe if Mexico had their version of the Second Amendment the citizens would not be terrified to go to work or take their children to school or go to church for fear the drug cartels will kill them. The Mexican population understands that they can’t depend on the government for help, they live it every day.
The leftist globalist dream of a world socialist utopia runs directly into one big problem, a well armed and determined American population. After all, isn’t that what the founding fathers created the Second Amendment for in the first place?
