 COMBO: ACTION CHAIN LETTER 9:RISE or FALL/ACTION CHAIN LETTER 8: UPDATE -

                          VERSION 3: Fast Forward Future/Rewind Roswell

                                Subtitle: NOBODY DOES IT STRANGER

                                 by Richard DePersio, Citizen Journalist

 

         "There is no art which one government learns of another than that of

          draining money from the pockets of the people."

                                 -Adam Smith, 1723-1790

 

         "I strongly wish for what I faintly hope: Like the day-dreams of melancholy men,

          I think and think on things impossible, Yet love to wander in that golden maze."

                                 -John Dryden, 1631-1700

Only one who has taken leave of his senses could think that a politician could

be capable of spending the people's money wisely.

       Welcome to the "Citizen Journalist Game Show." Behind Door Number One: The

wisest, reasonable and most cost-effective way to use the money entrusted to the

politician; Behind Door Number Two: Not as prudent as One but preferable to Three;

Behind Door Number Three: Business as usual - what we have come to expect of

our politicos.

       Congressman (www.)brooks.house.gov/public points out: "The problem is an

ambiguous direction set for NASA by the oval office...We are going to have to figure out,

if we are going to go with the "Constellation Program" with Ares (See - Facebook:

NASA_Ares) on the one hand - or, if we are going to go with some alternative,

heavy-lift vehicle, or low earth-orbit vehicle rather than "Constellation."

       Clarification: Obama seems to favor "Orion" spacecraft as only an emergency escape

vehicle from "International Space Station." Orion was to be perched atop Ares 1

(medium-heavy-lifter) for missions to and from space station in the event that "SpaceX" and

 "Virgin Galactic" (commercial companies) couldn't reach their goals of unmanned cargo                                                                                                                                                                 missions and manned missions beginning in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Orion/Ares 1 would

also be employed if in the future "SpaceX" or "Virgin Galactic" couldn't fly for periods of time

due to technical or financial problems. Orion/Ares 1: Back-up system. Version 2-Orion/Ares 5

(heavy-lifter) for missions beyond earth-orbit. We have invested over $9 billion in "Constellation"

(Orion vehicles, Ares rockets)."

       Door One: Continue "Constellation." Door Two: Build new spacecrafts and rockets using

"Constellation" R & D. Door Three: Obama favors starting from scratch. Many, if not most,

Republicans and some Democrats favor One but will settle for Two or Two but will except One.

       Will more taxpayer money go down the same presidential black hole as stimulus bills

and cash-for-clunkers!?! Will congress go against form and employ reason in response to

public demand to cut spending, use funds wisely and avoid waste. Time is of the essence.

Please act now in phoning and/or leaving a message at congressional members' websites.

Resources:For info on who to contact and how, please see previous "Action Chain Letters" and

 Facebook: "NASA_Ares and call: 202-224-3121 and request names of your senators, names

of Chairman and Ranking Members of Appropriations, Budget and Science/Technology

Committees and sub-committees for this issue, as well as, other "Action Chain Letter"

proposals. Remember: www.name.senate.gov/public/, www.name.house.gov/public to leave

a message.

 Let's do ourselves a 'Second American Revolution' together.

 

Speaking of REASON or the lack there of: We highly recommend CSI, formerly CSICOP.

The mission of the "Committee for  Skeptical Inquiry" is: promote scientific inquiry, critical

investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims.

Impressive: Two of the founding members were - Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan.

       Please add the above paragraph to the section on Roswell in "Fast Forward Future/

Rewind Roswell."

 

 

      

 

         "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union,

          establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common

          defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of

          LIBERTY to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish

          this Constitution for the United States of America."

                                 -Preamble to one of the greatest documents ever composed

                                 (Madison and mighty fine company)

 

        "Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds."

                                 -George Eliot, 1819-1880

 

CRITICISM 1 (Nobody does it better): It has been ten years since we were

attacked by muslims. The Liberty Tower/Office Building/Museum at ground-

zero in N.Y., New York is no where near completion due in part to lousy

unions. Determination: The Empire State Building was constructed in

one and a half years during a depression! What does it say about the

Americans of bygone years? Dogged determination. The terrorists won:

they knock down a building and we can't replace it. Shameful. What would

George, John, Tom, Jim and the rest of the gang think? If there is a

God and a heaven, we're certain that there not bragging about being

Americans. Start spreading the news: if you can knock us down here,

you can knock us down anywhere. N.Y., New York. Alliteration: moderate,

muslim myth. We pointed out over two years ago and we have raised the issue

since: virtually all so-called 'moderate' mosques in the U.S. receive

contributions from the terrorist-supporting "muslim brotherhood," We better

be careful, we know how overly-sensitive, un-REASONable, murderous moon-

worshippers (there were a group of Arabs who were pagans {believed in many

gods and goddesses} who mohammad convinced to believe in one-god, their

main god, the moon - hence crescent and star) reacted in Afghanistan recently

when a drunken preacher in Florida burned a koran by behaving like madman

while they killed U.N. representatives. We better go into hiding. Half-way there:

homebound).

(While we are no longer Christian, we know how to hold a grudge. In 1179 A.D., muslims

slaughtered Knights of the Temple {a.k.a. Knights Templar - new concept:

Monk/Knight combo - created first international corporation and established

the precursor of today's banking system; protected pilgrims to and from Holy

Land; their first HQ at or near what had been the Temple of Solomon; Jewish

and Christian claims on the Holy Land are solid - now there is a 'people of

the dome' at what is believed to be the site of the Temple of Solomon and

later Temple Mount - the moon people of mohammad formed nearly 1800 years

after the beginnings of ancient Israel and 600 years after Christ} at the castle

at Jacob Ford while survivors tortured to death. A pleasant twist of fate: Castle

meant to survive a siege lasting as long as a year. A Templar machine raised

fresh water from underground. The mangled bodies of  Templars

 tossed into the well. Here is the good part: muslims take over the

castle, water contaminated from decaying Templars, ten high-ranking muslim

officers die, other muslims became modestly to extremely sick; few spared

misery. Oh, sweet justice).

CRITICISM 2: "promote the general welfare" meant protect the good

people from the bad people so that the good people could enjoy justice,

domestic tranquility and the blessings of Liberty via protection provided

by Constitution and military.

This was the Real Federalist/Constructionist/Judeo-Christian/free-market

liberal (don't faint!, later became known as capitalism) Constitution. The

concept of the bogus progressive/secular/'living' constitution was developed between

1870-1935 and is what is taught to our children in union-destroyed public

schools. Prior to the 1960s, public schools were nearly as good as

Catholic schools when it came to education and discipline. The first

and biggest teacher's union was created in 1961. In 1964, the public

school day would no longer begin was a prayer and the Bible would

no longer be used to help teach English (writer is non-religious but saw

value in these requirements as we witnessed the decline in morality in general

 and the behavior of children in particular (lack of discipline, especially, in high schools)

 Liberals distort Tom and separation of

church and state. He mandated these requirements in D.C. public schools).

Since the sixties, we have pumped over a trillion in public schools (prior

to '60s, we spent little on public schools), the  biggest teacher's union formed in 1961,

in 1978, we created the United States Department of Education. Over the past few

decades, compared to other industrialized nations, we went from eighth to fourteenth in

reading, the top three in science to seventeenth, top three in math. to twenty-fifth.

Fascinating: we spend on average of $10,000 per pupil per year in a regular public

school, less in magnets and charters and an average of $6,000 in private schools

(most of which are Christian, most of which are Catholic); privates out-perform

magnets and charters while mags and charts fair better than regulars. Liberal

myth:we don't spend enough on retarded regs.

As part of the bogus constitution is the notion that "promote the general

welfare" meant that fed gov shouldn't limit itself to the responsibilities

clearly delineated in the Real Constitution but it should stick its nose

into those areas that the Founding Fathers felt could be best handled

by the states and localities.

           "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution

            nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively

            or to the people."

                         -Bill of Rights, Amendment Ten

(We have a bone to pick with the Founding Daddys {George, please forgive us}:

You capitalized the 'S' but not the 'p' ?).

 

Gov think (and, especially, shocking that it is happenning in the Big State of Texas):

"Daughters of the Alamo" have managed the Alamo for  decades even though

land and the Old Mission are owned by the state. No taxpayer money is used:

donations and a gift shop pays for upkeep, tour guides, security, etc. Visitors

talk about how clean it is, how will informed guides are, quality of free pamphlets

and so forth. Now state wants to oversee the Daughters operation. There's an

old Army saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Can you imagine what will happen

if state legislature passes the bill! Many years ago, Jerry Jewish was asked why

MDA didn't except gov funds for which it was eligible. He feared money would

eventually lead to gov interference and that they would screw-up the works.

 

PROPOSAL 43: Abolish Department of Education with its $100 billion annual

budget. We will save 1 Trillion over 10 years.We should increase fed aid to the 

 states by $5 billion ($50 billion over ten years in

the form of block grants with no strings attached other then 1: They must

add it to the money fed gov already gives to states for education and must

spend it in education and 2: States must by accountable. There can be

a $1 billion annual budget for fed committee on ed to make sure $$$s are not

victim of waste and fraud. If so, that state will receive less money in the

future. Fed com can make recommendations to states but should no

longer be able to compel them to do something (unsupported and partially-

supported mandates no more) and administer nationally-standardized tests,

otherwise, damn union will have teachers return to the policy of

promoting undeserving students - social promotions - in order that teacher's

don't look bad: half the class failing. These tests were part of Bush's "No

Child Behind" and teacher's unions hate it: it is exposing incompetent

teachers - most of them! (We previously endorsed parental choice in a

democracy - school vouchers and converting all regular public schools into

magnet and charter schools. Albert Shankor, the head of the teacher's union

said in 1987: "We will care about the kids when they're old enough to pay union

dues." We say: Care about the kids now!

PROPOSAL 45: Even evil Mr. progressive FDR thought that public unions

were a bad idea, nonetheless, they formed at fed- and state-levels between

1950-70. States are now curtailing the power of state public unions. They

must be abolished! Next step: Destroy private sector unions! Why are

American businesses outsourcing, building and expanding factories in

foreign countries and hiring foreign workers? Unions in poor countries are

non-existent or weak. Union demands are costly.

 

RISE: Decades of unprecedented prosperity or FALL: third-world status for

the U.S.A.

 

PROPOSAL 45: Rescind Obama-care and Financial Reform with its 1,500-plus

new regulations! Costly to comply with them - most of which are unnecessary,

and/or redundant and/or silly. Contrary to popular opinion American

businessman and corporate execs aren't evil and want to hire the best

workers in the world - the American workers.

 

Over a year ago in an article and more recently in a "Action Chain Letter," we

recommended cutting the corporate income tax from 35% (the second highest

in the world) to 25% immediately, 22 1/2 in five years and 20% in ten years;

further, we want to see the capital gains tax reduced from 20% to 10%.

Abolish unions, nullify many, if not, most regs (states can re impose certain

regs if they have a damn good reason) and cut taxes = unprecedented growth:

new factories built and existing factories expanded in U.S., a dramatic increase

in domestic hiring and stockholders rolling in dough - spending, investing and

saving. U.S. R & D will no longer be threatened for companies will invest

tons of green backs in it. Corporations, stockholders and Commodities-Investors

will be paying less in taxes percentage-wise but more $-wise; they won't mind

for they will be making so much more. Down goes the national debt.

 

Our motto: Cut, Baby, Cut! Americans in general will suffer and certain groups

in particular, including, us. Big, painful cuts now or bigger more painful cuts

later as 12 1/2% of federal income taxes collected go toward paying the

interest on the national debt to 25% in ten years. Further, we haven't been

paying anything toward the principal! Of course, our economic/financial

system could collapse in five years or less.

       Early this year, we made it clear that we would abandon Republican Party

and become a registered Independent if Repubs weren't serious about debt

reduction. We might still do so if they falter in their resolve and cave to Obama

and start doing smoke-and-mirrors.

 

Proposal 46: We endorse bringing back the "Balanced Budget Amendment"

opposed by Clinton but, nonetheless, passed by Repubs. Clinton would later

take the bows as he always did for things that he opposed but later worked.

A pox on their houses: Repubs and, later, Dems would figure out ways to

get around Amendment by discovering loopholes. This is big: gov living within

its means; no more deficits but doesn't negate need for major spending

cuts. Even a freeze on spending wouldn't suffice. You have to pay your debt!

 

Bad Republican here: Returning to one of our favorite nemesis - subsidies.

We oppose subsidies that Republicans like, such as, oil. We oppose Democratic

subsidies to wind and solar. Libs think solar and wind are panacea - far

from it. Libs worry about the environment and animal protection - some rights!

 Charles Krauthamer, political

commentator and former psychiatrist (somehow that makes sense) recently

pointed out that windmills and windmills for electricity-generation kill half of a

million birds per year.

       Why don't birds suddenly appear when liberals are near; just like me, they

long to be far from them. (we promise that we will never sing again!).

         End of Part One.
