This is very cool.
How did they film this one? Make sure you watch until the end.

Pelosi, an Embarrassment to USA
Nancy Pelosi actually said this on the 2,600 + page Health Care Bill yesterday;
”We have to pass this bill so you can find out what is in it.”
If this wasn’t on u-tube it would be difficult to believe. I am embarrassed that our Country has elected someone like this person and many others with a similar mentality.

International Companies take Lead in IRAN Sanctions
Financial Times, London, March 1, 2010
Financial Times, London reports that Caterpillar is the latest major international company to exit IRAN. Others, including Siemens, Italian oil company ENI, and German insurance companies Munich Re and Allianz and others have taken the lead in leaving Iran.
Caterpillar believes that Iran may be using Caterpillar’s massive earth moving equipment capabilities to build tunnels to hide secret nuclear weapons facilities.
When the timid Obama administration and the United Nations will not act, Private Enterprise and Capitalism (which is despised by Obama and the United Nations) take the lead.

Energy Czar Says US Must Decrease Energy Use
Energy Secretary Chu Says U.S. Must Decrease Energy Use
Dow Jones via Rig Zone ^ | 2/24/10 | Nour Malas
Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 10:27:05 AM by thackney
Steven Chu, Obama’s U S Energy Czar, Nobel Laurate, and advocate for the world to paint their roofs and roads white to reduce global warming, said Wednesday that the U.S. must decrease its energy use to allow developing nations the room to grow, while emphasizing that prosperity doesn’t have to come with a large carbon footprint.
“We believe we have to decrease our use of energy to allow headroom for the developing nations to grow their economies,” Chu said in a speech in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.
“There is no law of physics that says prosperity is proportional to carbon emissions,” Chu said.
_______________________________________________________________
This guy is a fool. With this statement he is advocating the decline of the American economic engine which has given the U. S. the greatest prosperity in the world and the advancement of economies in “developing nations”. HE IS MORE INTERESTED IN INCREASING JOBS IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THAN IN THE UNITED STATES. Does he not understand that the increase in domestic jobs requires increasing all forms of low-cost domestic energy production.
By the way, Mr. Chu, if you have not read the news lately, ALL those that thought they discovered global warming have since spoken out very softly in the past 30 days, that they used the wrong data and methodology when coming to their conclusion that “global warming” is a world world crisis. They have told us that GLOBAL WARMING DOES NOT EXIST. I CALL THIS A FRAUD………….!
Also, as you must know, the United States has 500% more oil in domestic reserves that exists in the entire middle east. The current shortage of energy , which results in $700 billion flowing from the United States to Muslim oil producers in the Middle East, is caused by the liberal STATISTS in congress and the White House not allowing private sources to produce domestic energy.
Mr. Chu, the amount of energy in the world is not a zero sum game. Let the developing nations produce their own energy, AND LET THE UNITED STATES PRODUCE ITS OWN ENERGY. I THINK THAT IS YOUR JOB…………….??

Freedom of Speech on Trial in Amsterdam
Mr. Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament, has been warning his Country and the world about the rapid growth of Islamic Extremist terrorism throughout the world. This is exemplified by Mr. Wilders in his speech at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York on September 28, 2008.
Comments on Speech: http://america-wake-up.com/2010/01/04/islam-good-or-evil/
Click here for the speech: http://america-wake-up.com/2010/01/04/islam-good-or-evil/america-as-the-last-man-standing/
This post could be entitled:
- Geert Wilders on Trial in Holland
- The Crooked Judges of Amsterdam
- The Truth on Trial in Amsterdam
- Is telling the Truth now Against the Law in Amsterdam?
But we Choose to call it: Freedom of Speech on Trial in Amsterdam
Below is the video from a speech given on February 5, 2010, by Pat Codell, of the BBC in London:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ZUZ9CPZII
Below is the Text of the video:
This week in an Amsterdam courtroom we saw the beginning of what could be both the trial of the century and the crime of the century.
What an honour for the Netherlands so early in the century.
In the most determined statement of dhimmitude we’ve yet seen in Europe — and that is saying something — the Dutch authorities are pushing ahead with the prosecution of an elected parliamentarian for the crime of embarrassing them with the truth.
There is an ideological fervour about this prosecution that’s almost religious in its intensity, because let’s be clear, this is a heresy trial by any other name. They can’t refute Mr Wilders’ statements, so instead they’ve resorted to the kind of cheap legal stunt we’d expect from the likes of Mugabe to shut their opponent up.
They have accused him of being divisive and inflammatory. And yes, sometimes the truth can be divisive and inflammatory if it has been suppressed for long enough and has become sufficiently taboo, as it clearly has in the Netherlands. Because according to the prosecution it doesn’t even matter that what he says is true; what matters is that it’s illegal.
Well, when the truth is against the law then there’s something seriously wrong with the law, because when the truth is no defense there is no defense, and the law has no anchor, so it will drift wherever the wind of political expedience blows.
And this week it blew straight into a crooked courtroom in Amsterdam where justice will now be made to fight for its life starved of the oxygen of truth that gives it life.
These are desperate tactics from desperate people who have tied themselves up in such knots of relativist guilt; they are incapable of acknowledging the truth, let alone dealing with it. They are like somebody who is prepared to chop off their own hand to avoid being seen scratching their arse in public. What makes it worse it they are clinging to something that doesn’t even exist.
The multicultural bubble burst a long time ago, when Pim Fortuyn was murdered, when Theo van Gogh was murdered, both for the crime of expressing an opinion in what is supposed to be one of the world’s leading liberal democracies. It was then the Dutch people and everybody else in Europe came face to face with multiculturalism, what it really is, and what it really means.
On the surface it sounds like a pleasant word evoking a kind of rainbow society of mutually enriching cultural perspectives. And what could be better than that? But that’s not what it is at all, and that was never the intention.
If they had been honest from the start about what it really is, Islamisation, they know they would never have been allowed to get away with it. But people are beginning to realise that Islam is, in fact, what they are getting, and it is all they are getting. And that is why the Freedom Party is leading the opinion polls in the Netherlands from nowhere in just a few short years.
And it is also why the ruling class is so desperate to destroy Mr Wilders before the next election, because they know his views are popular enough to change things, to put an end to the multicultural lie and to give the Dutch people back their country. And that is why he is facing trial.
Can I say that?
Maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised it has come to this. After all, they do have a history of ganging up on their popular politicians in the Netherlands. Isn’t that how Pim Fortuyn was murdered? Some leftist lunatic took the establishment and the press at their word that he was a public menace for opposing Islamisation, and killed him for it.
Next day all the people who had been vilifying him were suddenly his best friends. They were shocked. How could this have happened? But they all know how it happened. The whole world knows how it happened. And if it hadn’t happened this trial wouldn’t be taking place today because Islam wouldn’t be the problem it is today.
And maybe Amsterdam would still be one of the world’s favourite cities and not the kind of place where gay people are afraid to go out for fear of being beaten up by gangs of Muslim youths.
The Dutch ruling class has shown it is prepared to stoop to anything, even as far as undermining the very cornerstone of western civilisation, freedom of speech, to prop up a rotten ideology that is not only dead but whose corpse is now beginning to smell. And you know that smell. It’s that pungent mix of authoritarianism and cowardice that we have all become depressingly familiar with.
Certainly here in Britain we know all about it. We’ve had twelve years of it. And we haven’t forgotten the shameful events of this time last year when Mr Wilders was refused entry to Britain because our government allowed itself to be bullied and threatened by a handful of Muslim loudmouths, who took it upon themselves to suppress free speech in a free country and were allowed to get away with it. Because otherwise they might have been offended.
Oh, perish the thought. Why the hell shouldn’t Muslims be offended? What are they anyway… babies?
Nobody gives a damn how offended the rest of us are at having our culture squatted by an aggressive religious totalitarianism and being told to shut up about it. And that’s why this trial is not just about the Netherlands. It affects all of us.
The Dutch people have a well-deserved reputation for tolerance and open-mindedness. The very qualities, many would argue, that got them into this mess in the first place. So they’re a bit further down the road of multicultural dhimmitude than most countries, but it is a road we are all travelling in the West. And if we stay on it we will all arrive at the same unhappy crossroads in another courtroom, in another country. It is only a matter of time.
Fear of free speech is a symptom of a profoundly neurotic and dishonest society, which is what we have got on our hands now.
All over the western world it is the same sorry story. We have governments and police forces who cringe before Islam while whittling away our civil liberties because of Islam. We have media that can’t even use the word “Islam” in connection with terrorism, when the two things couldn’t be more intimately connected if they were Siamese twins.
Yet they are quite happy to label Mr Wilders as a far-right politician, in the kind of casual slander that passes for journalism these days, especially at the wretched BBC, who have been too politically correct even to acknowledge that this trial is taking place.
Anyone who isn’t angry and ashamed that it is taking place doesn’t deserve to live in a free society. The trial has already left as dark a stain on Dutch history as McCarthyism left on American history, and it is only going to get worse, because not only have the crooked judges denied Mr Wilders the witnesses he needs to defend himself, they have also made sure the trial will coincide with the election campaign, making it as difficult as possible for him to put his case to the people.
This man is a hero, not a criminal, and it is time the rest of us stood up and said so, loud and clear, because there’s too much at stake to be polite any more, and there’s too much at stake to be afraid any more. This intellectual terrorism has got to stop.
Our birthright is being deliberately sold from under us by people who don’t have the right of ownership. And we are now on the verge of bequeathing our children and grandchildren the kind of society that we wouldn’t want to be born into. It doesn’t get any more immoral or cowardly than that.
You know, in the English language we have an expression: “Dutch Courage”. It’s not really courage at all. It is the kind of courage you get when you’ve had a bit too much alcohol to drink. Well, now there is a new expression: “Dutch Justice”. It’s not really justice at all. It is the kind of justice you get when you’ve overdosed on cultural relativism and your spine has completely disappeared.
Shame on the Netherlands.
Shame on the western media for not raising a howl of protest against this outrageous attack on our basic freedom.
And shame upon shame on the crooked judges of Amsterdam.
Was there something else?
Oh yeah, peace.
Be nice, wouldn’t it?

545 versus 300 million
545 people run this country, and control 300,000,000 of us. Most of them create our problems and then ask us to vote for them to solve the problems. We need to clean house. This is a good read!
545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.This might be funny if it weren’t so darned true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
to my doom…’
When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’
And I still have to ‘press 1′ for English!?
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red ..
If the Army &Marines are in IRAQ , it’s because they want them in IRAQ
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems..
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
What you do with this article now that you have read it………. Is up to you.

The Dems Still Don’t Get It
Evan Bayh, retiring Senator from Indiana, Obama and the majority of the liberals in Congress still do not get it. Bayh is not running for another term in the Senate because of “ever shriller partisanship and the frustrations of grid lock”. He sees a need for “compromise for the good of the nation”.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The system of government our forefathers had in mind is working just fine and the voters are cleansing the congress of those that do not hold their values. The majority of the Population in the Country does not want anything to do with the Obama program or any one who favors it. The system is working. Gridlock and partisanship are good. The bums are being thrown out. What has happened in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts and is taking place across the country is called democracy and what our forefathers had in mind when our leaders reject the constitution. Fact is, also, Bayh knows he has no chance of being elected if he did run.
The majority of the people in the country are disgusted with Obama’s:
- Arrogance
- Marxist agenda for Re-distribution of income
- massive government spending money we do not have for wasteful programs
- higher taxes – on the way -
- Zero transparency
- contempt for the profit motive of capitalism
- contempt of the military as exemplified in the Department of Justice potential prosecution of Navy Seals who capture terrorists, CIA agents who interrogate them while reading Muslim terrorists their Miranda rights and then provides them with an attorney in a US court room.
- badmouthing of the US in many speeches in foreign countries
- complete lack of a meaningful energy program to eliminate our need for foreign oil imports
- many other policies to numerous to mention here
