Leaked report: Government fears Deepwater Horizon well could become unchecked gusher

‘The following is not public’ document states
View full size(AP Photo/U.S. Coast Guard)This image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Saturday April 24, 2010, shows oil leaking from the drill pipe of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig after it sank. A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could be on the verge of becoming an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf. A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster in the Gulf makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could become an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf.
“The following is not public,” reads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Emergency Response document dated April 28. “Two additional release points were found today in the tangled riser. If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought.”
Asked Friday to comment on the document, NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen said that the additional leaks described were reported to the public late Wednesday night. Regarding the possibility of the spill becoming an order of magnitude larger, Smullen said, “I’m letting the document you have speak for itself.”
In scientific circles, an order of magnitude means something is 10 times larger. In this case, an order of magnitude higher would mean the volume of oil coming from the well could be 10 times higher than the 5,000 barrels a day coming out now. That would mean 50,000 barrels a day, or 2.1 million gallons a day. It appears the new leaks mentioned in the Wednesday release are the leaks reported to the public late Wednesday night.
“There is no official change in the volume released but the USCG is no longer stating that the release rate is 1,000 barrels a day,” continues the document, referred to as report No. 12. “Instead they are saying that they are preparing for a worst-case release and bringing all assets to bear.”
The emergency document also states that the spill has grown in size so quickly that only 1 to 2 percent of it has been sprayed with dispersants.
The Press-Register obtained the emergency report from a government official. The White House, NOAA, the Coast Guard and BP Plc did not immediately return calls for comment made early this morning.
The worst-case scenario for the broken and leaking well pouring oil into the Gulf of Mexico would be the loss of the wellhead and kinked piping currently restricting the flow to 5,000 barrels — or 210,000 gallons — per day.
If the wellhead is lost, oil could leave the well at a much greater rate.
“Typically, a very good well in the Gulf can produce 30,000 barrels a day, but that’s under control. I have no idea what an uncontrolled release could be,” said Stephen Sears, chairman of the petroleum engineering department at Louisiana State University.
On Thursday, federal officials said they were preparing for the worst-case scenario but didn’t elaborate.
Kinks in the piping created as the rig sank to the seafloor may be all that is preventing the Deepwater Horizon well from releasing its maximum flow. BP is now drilling a relief well as the ultimate fix. The company said Thursday that process would take up to 3 months.

How to help: Volunteers eager to help cope with the spill and lessen its impact on the Gulf Coast environment and economy.
“I’m not sure what’s happening down there right now. I have heard there is a kink in what’s called the riser. The riser is a long pipe that connects the wellhead to the rig. I really don’t know if that kink is a big restriction. Is that really a big restriction? There could be another restriction further down,” said LSU’s Sears.
”An analogy would be if you have a kink in a garden hose. You suspect that kink is restricting the flow, but there could be another restriction or kink somewhere else closer to the faucet.
BP Plc executive Doug Suttles said Thursday the company was worried about “erosion” of the pipe at the wellhead.
Sand is an integral part of the formations that hold oil under the Gulf. That sand, carried in the oil as it shoots through the piping, is blamed for the ongoing erosion described by BP.
“The pipe could disintegrate. You’ve got sand getting into the pipe, it’s eroding the pipe all the time, like a sandblaster,” said Ron Gouguet, a former oil spill response coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The oil originated from a leaking pipeline after last week’s explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon.”When the oil is removed normally, it comes out at a controlled rate. You can still have abrasive particles in that. Well, now, at this well, its coming out at fairly high velocity,” Gouguet continued. “Any erosive grains are abrading the inside of the pipe and all the steel that comes in contact with the liquid. It’s essentially sanding away the pipe.”
Gouguet said the loss of a wellhead is totally unprecedented.
“How bad it could get from that, you will have a tremendous volume of oil that is going to be offgassing on the coast. Depending on how much wind is there, and how those gases build up, that’s a significant health concern,” he said.
The formation that was being drilled by Deepwater Horizon when it exploded and sank last week is reported to have tens of millions of barrels of oil. A barrel contains 42 gallons.
Smullen described the NOAA document as a regular daily briefing. “Your report makes it sound pretty dire. It’s a scenario,” he said, “It’s a regular daily briefing sheet that considered different scenarios much like any first responder would.”

In an effort to bring you well rounded economic information I wanted to return to the subject of Gold Investments. As you are probably aware of by now I advocate investing in Physical Gold and Silver. My favorite expert on the subject is Bret Leifer of Bret Leifer Numismatics, he is an honest, astute businessman that can put together an excellent portfolio for you.
Here is his Spring 2010 Newsletter:
PROTECTION FOR THE WELL INFORMED
I am not usually affected by the public diatribe of Financial Apocalypse.
Most gold prices have tripled in the last 10 years, and I think prices could triple again in 6-10 years without any problem. Richard Maybury, author of the well known newsletter, U.S. & World Early Warning Report, agrees. Mr Maybury believes that numismatics is the one area in the financial sector that allows the average investor to achieve windfall profits. He sees prices going up 3 to 10 times for gold numismatics. Mr. May bury writes, “If confiscation comes, numismatics will be the only legal way for United States citizens to own Gold”.
I believe that your Gold coins hold the potential to bail you out from a financial catastrophe as well as hyperinflation in this country. Your coins may replace the value of all your other assets combined. Those without gold coins will be very, very sorry.
Government reports are filled with self-delusions. They want their delusions to become our reality. All governments need an unending supply of money, and the federal government continues to print paper money as if there were no tomorrow. But tomorrow has already come and gone. We are living in an era of impending doom.
We have witnessed the weakening of the dollar in the midst of economic bedlam. The writing is on the wall. Those who realize what is happening have begun buying Gold, or have added more Gold to their existing portfolios. Gold provides a hard defense against the financial turmoil which has become a fact of life, not only in America, but around the world.
You should think of your Gold coins as part of your overall net worth, not as a trading vehicle. These coins will protect you in times of inflation or deflation. If everything deflated, gold coins will buy you more than your other assets just like they did in the 1930’s. If inflation comes roaring back, gold will go up, I believe, to heights unimagined. So keep your Gold as part of your net worth. It may save you from unforeseen calamity.
As I have said before, Gold is money. When governments fold, Gold endures. It has been around for thousands of years and will be around for thousands more. It is the only real money. Paper money is only a promise by the government, and as the economy continues to rupture those promises will continue to evaporate.
I am asked by many people WHEN, not IF, I think Gold coin prices will go up. Okay, I’ll go out on a limb here, I think the years 2014-2016 will see the impact of real inflation on all prices. If the price rise were to happen in the next 10 months, I would not be surprised because all the pieces are in place for the monetary crisis to occur. You must take precautions so that you and your family are not part of the nightmare that will probably happen!
The government is very adept at manipulation, hypocrisy and fraud. The future must start sometime. Don’t get anxious or bored during the malaise. Don’t lose patience and sell your Gold coins (unless you need the money). The future should reward those who hold their Gold Coins.
If you are interested in finding out about investing in numismatic coins.

In one my earlier posts I talked about “Producing the Note”. When this lending fiasco was moving full speed ahead, peoples mortgages were being taken over or transferred to different lending institutions faster than you could keep track of. Personally my mortgage was passed along three times finally ending up with Bank of America. As this Housing Crisis deepens and foreclosures keep piling up, courts in many states are demanding proper documentation to proceed with the litigation. This article below was written by Marie McDonnell, CFE a mortgage fraud and forensic analyst .
A colleague forwarded me an important decision this morning that has just been handed down by the DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Fourth District, that is extremely helpful to foreclosure victims in particular, or for others who want to challenge whether or not they are making payments to the “real party in interest,” i.e., the owner of their mortgage loan.
This decision is extremely important and should be utilized in all foreclosure matters whether in judicial or non-judicial foreclosure states. Without proper authentication and a full audit trail to prove who is the rightful owner and holder of the mortgage obligation, we are subjugating ourselves to a perpetual state of manipulation and fraud by the carpetbaggers and scallywags who are cleaning up the toxic waste dumped into our financial system by the derivatives mobsters. I particularly like the statement in the Decision:
As in BAC Funding Consortium, there are no supporting affidavits or deposition testimony in the record to establish that Aurora validly owns and holds the note and mortgage, no evidence of an assignment to Aurora, no proof of purchase of the debt nor any other evidence of an effective transfer. Thus, we reverse the summary judgment and remand for further proceedings.
This decision moves past the “Bogus Assignment” problem (a la the recently announced Department of Justice’s criminal investigation of Lender Processing Services and its subsidiary Docx, LLC) and focuses on the requirements of admissible evidence. This decision also harmonizes with the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in Massachusetts Land Court Judge Keith C. Long’s Memorandum in the U.S. Bank v. Ibanez and Wells Fargo Bank v. LaRace foreclosure cases.
By the way, the Massachusetts Land Court cases are on appeal before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. We are waiting for the Banks’ attorneys to file their Appellants’ briefs. Glenn F. Russell Jr. on behalf of the LaRaces, and Paul Collier on behalf of Mr. Ibanez will then have 30 days to write their Appellee briefs.

WAYNE ISAKSEN, TEAM PAY IT OFF.
As I was pondering what to write about in this missive I came across an excellent article over at the Burning Platform, Jim Quinn is spot on in his assessment of the current economic situation. As an aside I would urge you to keep an eye on the big picture and take some actions to protect you and and your family from the coming HARD TIMES AHEAD.
The MSFM (Main Stream Financial Media) were so giddy the last couple of weeks with their attempts to cover up the realities of the world in hopes to maybe sucker just a few more people into buying houses and big-screens. Too bad for them the real news just can’t be blanketed over and sugar-coated by those ding-bats.
Every time I see people like that Maria Bartiromo from CNBC with their fake smile and laugh as they read the teleprompter in a vain attempt to calm the masses, I either want to slap her face or just change the channel, willing to accept those very-annoying “THATS A LOW PRICE” commercials from Staple instead.
Well, you cant keep the road-kill economy down for long as we finally get to see the SEC throw us a bone with their Goldman suit. Thousands should be on trial right now, but I guess we will take what we can get.
For now, things are starting to fall into place and the truth just cant be hid any longer:
1. Inflation is really starting to show its ugly head and yet that smarmy Bernanke wont do anything about it because it would expose the banks for what they really are – bankrupt. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601068&sid=aYoxl2DbrZU0
2. Things in Greece are STILL worse than expected and I am glad I took the time to see that place in 2008, for I dont think I would want to go there anytime in the future. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601068&sid=aUi3XLUwIIVA
3. …and to top it all off it looks like we are going to get what we all kinda knew was coming even though our comrade in chief Obama promised it would not happen. Yes, he is going to tax EVERYBODY. The latest trial ballon being floated is the Value Added Tax which will take the remaining few dollars that middle class have left.
You see, the Fed and Govt went on a spree to “save” the economy and in so doing, rewarded all the losers and punished the winners. The losers are all still on some form of welfare and the rich can only be soaked so much, so its time to put the final nail in the coffin of the middle class. The VAT and whatever other tax scheme they come up with hit those who make less than 200k, so Obamas promise is now a complete lie.
We are now on the path to socialism completely:

A great article about how we can take back Medical Care, How Doctors can Survive & Thrive in the Brave New World.
by George Watson
Patients and doctors need to ask: what should a medical practice be like?
For doctors: Would you like more time with your patients; fewer or no insurance company hassles and prior authorizations, and less paperwork? Would you like to determine a fair price for your service, together with your patient? Would you like your daily receipts to equal your daily charges? Would you like to be called “Doctor” rather than “Provider”?
For patients: Is this the kind of doctor you would like to have? And would you like your current doctor to stay in practice? If so, you should ask your doctor to carefully consider this article. It might enable him to be there for you.
Many doctors are now at the fork in the road where I found myself seven years ago. I had completed the certification exam in age-management medicine, and began to offer services that the insurance companies said were “non-covered.” Overhead continued. Receipts went down.
On the verge of bankruptcy, I received a flyer titled “Thrive, Don’t Just Survive,” so I charged my airline ticket and room to my credit card and went to check it out. I heard a family physician tell how the HMO’s turned the screw one more notch and bankrupted half of the family practices in the state. Then he told how he turned the situation around.
He now had joy in serving his patients, and was collecting a fair price at the time of service. I thought, “Sure, a family physician could do that, but it wouldn’t work in any specialty.” Then an orthopedic surgeon and an urologist told similar stories of how they too were really enjoying medicine after they opted out of Medicare and all insurance contracts. I thought, “If they can do it, I can too!”
By God’s Grace, the office I had formerly used was going to be vacated in two months, and the lessee still had lease obligations. The equipment there, which I had sold them when I was called up for Desert Storm in 1991, was going into storage, as the doctor was moving to a newer, better-equipped facility. I took over the lease in return for the equipment October 1, 2003, I started over with one employee and no patients. (Like many recent government appointees, I even owed back taxes). I bought supplies and signage with credit cards.
I bought a 10 second co-op ad on the local Fox channel that said, “Imagine, a 5-minute doctor visit for $20!” We handed out flyers to local businesses. I met with business owners, explaining that I was 100% committed to them and their employees, not the insurance companies.
My employee and I painted rooms when we weren’t seeing patients.
Starting from less than zero, I made a profit in month five. A doctor who kept all but 20% of his patients, but cut out insurance overhead and write-offs, could be profitable the very first month. The patients who stayed would be choosing their doctor – not picking an insurance company doctor from a list.
In 2006, I bought out another doctor in Hays, Kansas, which required that I buy a Mooney 201 airplane in 2007. In 2008, I bought a Dexa bone scanner to complement my Thermography service. And this past June, I bought a new Expedition to keep my taxable income as low as possible.
Today some of my patients ask, “How will the new health law affect you? You won’t quit, will you?”
Of course I won’t. My practice is what I dreamed of when I started medical school. I work for my patients – not the insurance company or the government!
Many doctors will not have the courage to change course. But if they continue taking money from third parties, people like the government’s “recovery audit contractors” will stick the fork in them.
Doctors need to take the fork that is – so far – less traveled. And patients need to find such a doctor. Insurers may have intimidated doctors so they believe they can’t survive without signing every contract. The fact is, patients and doctors need each other, but doctors don’t need those contracts.
Both patients and doctors need to declare independence.
Reprinted from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
April 21, 2010
Dr. Watson, President of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, practiced traditional-insurance-based osteopathic family medicine for 23 years. In 2003, he canceled all insurance contracts and OPTED OUT of Medicare. He continues to work 100% for the patients – not the insurance companies. He has been a member of the Board of Directors of the AAPS since 2006. Dr. Watson is an outspoken advocate for the practice of private medicine, the patient-doctor direct model. He has been interviewed by Fox News Channel and multiple networks. Dr. Watson has spoken at numerous Tea Parties and has recently testified in State of Kansas Senate hearings on amendments to the state constitution to reaffirm the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and an amendment to affirm Health Care Freedom for all Kansans.
All I keep hearing lately is how things are getting better economically – for who? Certainly not for most of us middle class citizens. Mark my words BIG CHANGES ARE COMING BY THE SUMMER OF 2010.
Prepare yourselves, everyone should be thinking about filling that pantry more and more, perhaps buying some gold and or silver coins to keep under the floorboards, looking very closely at their investments, retirement funds if there is any left at this point and getting out of debt one way or the other.
I just read this article on www.benzinga.com I posted the first paragraph, I would encourage you to read the entire article, its very important.
We have reached a very interesting turning point in American history. More than at any other point in modern times, Americans are deeply angry about the state of the economy. In fact, it is no stretch to say that millions of U.S. citizens are hopping mad about the economic situation. Most of them don’t know exactly what is wrong, and even fewer of them have any idea about how to go about fixing things, but they do know one thing. They know that they are mad. As Americans, we were raised with the belief that our overwhelmingly powerful economic machine would always provide good jobs and prosperity for all of us as long as we worked hard. But we have come to learn that is not true. We have come to learn that our politicians and our leaders have squandered the great inheritance that our forefathers left for us. We have come to learn that the financial future of our nation is beyond bleak. We have come to learn that our government has piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. Now the foolish decisions of the past several decades are catching up with us. The U.S. economy is experiencing structural failure, and the American people are angry. They want answers. They want someone to fix things. They want things to go back to the way they used to be.
But that isn’t going to happen. Once the American people truly start realizing that, the anger that will erupt will dwarf what we are seeing now.

My name is Wayne Isaksen, I have been self employed my entire life, I have owned a successful Interior Landscaping business in the NYC area for 25 years . I relocated to North Carolina in 2005 and became a licensed loan officer, the madness and fraud that went on in that industry during those years forced me to walk away from it because I have a conscience and I could not lie and deceive people and get them into homes they could not afford with all sorts of disasterous loans like the Negative Amortization Loan, the Option Arm Loans, the Liars loan and all the rest!
I heard about United First Financial and their mortgage acceleration program. I went to a presentation and was impressed with it. I became an agent with U1st and started selling the Money Merge Program. While I truly believe this is an excellent program and it WILL help you pay off your mortgage and debts in the shortest time possible, there were a few critical problems with U1st Financial.
1. They are set up as a Multi Level Marketing Company, that means you pay too much for the program ($3,500).
2. They were getting too involved with other products to market.
3. They also shroud their product in secrecy, you are never quite sure how it works and have to rely on time consuming customer service for answers to your many questions.
Needless to say I walked away from that business also and embarked on an Educational journey trying to find the best way to pay off your mortgage and debts quickly and easily. What I learned (sometimes the hard way) is that there are no magic solutions to the problem of debt in America. Every program or system requires a commitment, some a lot more than others, for example I recently sent for information on John Cummutas Transforming Debt into Wealth Program, I paid a $6.95 shipping charge for what they said was a free CD explaining the program, what I got a few days later was a large box full of CD’s. Right then and there I was pissed off that they took such liberties. I listened to a few CD’s and while I would not call the program a scam I believe a person could get the same info free on the internet. AND more importantly there is so much information, 95% of the people that buy this probably never get close to understanding all the information. I sent the box back.
Next, I tried a Software Program called Smart Equity Program, the cost of this program was $1,900 and it was very difficult to understand. Remember I am a businessman and a former loan officer and I could not make sense of that Program. There were other mortgage acceleration software programs that ranged up to $4,500.
What I finally did was license a powerful web based software System that I developed into the Team Pay it Off System. I will not beat around the bush, I have priced this awesome System at $999, a one time charge for a lifetime System that can guide you to pay off your mortgage and debts in the shortest time possible. There are also payment plans. It can work on multiple mortgages at the same time (Rental Properties, Vacation Homes), you do not have to refinance your existing mortgage, your mortgage payments stay the same and there is little change to your monthly budget.
It works with a checking and savings account or if you prefer any type of open ended line of credit like a Home Equity Line or a Personal Line.
THE ONE REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU MUST BE BRINGING IN A LITTLE MORE MONEY THAN YOU SPEND, it’s called discretionary income. By using sound, proven banking principles this system turns the table on the banksters to enable you to pay off your mortgage and debts with huge savings on interest payments. The powerful Algorithms in the software tells you exactly what debt to pay and exactly how much to apply to the payment to yield maximum savings. It is very easy to learn and use this system and that is what will insure your success. No endless reading or listening to hours and hours of CD’s. You are a busy person with a job or jobs and probably a family to take care of. I know, it takes a lot of time and energy-when could you steal a few additional hours a night to learn a complicated program-You cannot. This System is a Financial GPS, when you go off course it will bring you back to the correct path and relentlessly work to pay off your debts quickly and safely.
To prove that I am a totally honest businessperson I have set up this System with full disclosure and no hidden tricks or fees.
You can run your numbers thru the System totally FREE and obtain a Valuable Financial Analysis, we do not require sensitive numbers such as Social Security numbers, Account numbers or Credit Reports or Birth Dates.
You will be able to see just how much time and money you will save using this System before you part with one thin dime. (Typically people pay off their mortgages and debts in 6-10 years and save 10’s or even 100’s of thousands of dollars in interest payments). To make this offer even better I will let you try out the entire System for 7 Days for FREE without leaving a credit card number on file, all you have to do is enter your name and e-mail address and I will send you a username and password to activate the System. You can e-mail support with any questions and there are 23 short flash videos to take you through the entire set up process. Watch the presentations, click on the support tab for additional information, Folks it is EASY and DOABLE!

Been a few weeks between posts.
This article I am reprinting from my friends at: taxfree15.com
IT’S IMPORTANT! – PLEASE READ AND OPEN YOUR MINDS
The NATIONAL STRIKE, April 15th – 18th, is NOT ABOUT tax evasion, anarchy, hatred, or political affiliation. It’s about clarification, education, accountability and integrity. Video at bottom of article.
Tax Free 15 – The Strike is about realizing that a well thought out and documented plan for global government has been in place for over 100 years, and in order to reach that goal, no country or people, could be left strong enough to think for themselves or remain independent of policies enacted by federal and local governments, all working together to achieve the bottom line; all funded by banking schemes and the families behind them, who own the banks and world governments already.
The Strike is about personal sovereignty, with the freedom to think for ourselves. We must recognize that we’ve all been exploited, lied to, and encouraged to give away our power to others who will make decisions concerning our lives, without our consent or approval: enforced through the military or police, if we refuse to comply. Our country spends over a billion dollars a week on war, while we lose our retirement funds, pension plans, health care benefits, and the purchasing power of our dollars, with our government using us for collateral on their huge debt, signing away our land and our future in order to keep borrowing.
The Strike is about our sons and daughters, taught to pledge their lives in defense of our country, sent to invade and occupy foreign lands without an official declaration of war by our congress, which is the only government body with the power to officially do so. “Here is a shocking statistic that you won’t hear in most western news media: over the past nine years, more US military personnel have taken their own lives than have died in action in either the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. These are official figures from the US Department of Defense, yet somehow they have not been deemed newsworthy to report. Last year alone, more than 330 serving members of the US armed forces committed suicide – more than the 320 killed in Afghanistan and the 150 who fell in Iraq (see wsws.org)”*taken from: http://www.infowars.com/a-sign-of-empire-pathology-more-us-soldiers-commit-suicide-than-killed-in-action/
We have lost our ability to think for ourselves, and believe we must be protected and taken care of by our government, instead of becoming self-sufficient within our communities. This is about enslavement, incrementally, with media brainwashing and misdirection on a global scale. Fluoride in our water, first used in Soviet Gulags and then Nazi concentration camps, was found to make prisoners more docile………….search that one for yourselves and do it before full internet censorship is called for in the name of fighting “terrorism”.
We have been trained to accept numerous toxins in our food supply: dyes, genetically manipulated food that is unlabeled, milk, related to every form of cancer and juvenile diabetes ( The China Study, by T. Collin Campbell”) is still actively promoted by well meaning but clueless celebrities, for whom profit is more important than learning about what they are actually promoting. Money has become our God.
Pharmaceutical companies do not make money off of healthy people with the full power of mental acuity. Think about all the drugs in your bathroom cabinet, and the fact that while doctors easily hand out prescriptions for those, the FDA is actively persecuting natural and holistic remedies, and limiting our access to them. Follow the money trail and open your minds. Could all of our toxic food also be adding to our problems? What is the FDA doing and how is it they allow this to happen? What about Vaccines? What is really falling from our skies in the form of chem trails? http://www.californiaskywatch.com/ will give you more information on a subject we’ve been taught to dismiss Why is that?
Could weather modification exist? Does our government have the capability of causing earthquakes? http://www.haarp.com/
What is the real story about where all of our tax dollars go? www.whereisthemoney.org & www.thecostofwar.com
Could what we don’t know really be used against us???
Yes. And at the same time they distract us with American Idol, Glenn Beck, Fox, CNN, football games, and all the rest of useless celebrity gossip fed to us 24/7, they are killing us.
This is about propaganda on a global scale, with the objective of total enslavement for those of us who survive, and extermination for those of us who don’t. That is not an exaggeration.
Now I realize that many of those who read this will automatically dismiss it as conspiracy theories from a deranged mind. My challenge is this: Prove me wrong! Search for the Truth yourselves instead of allowing it to be turned into an insult. People speak of a third political party, well I think every political hopeful should first and foremost be a member of the Truther Party! And proud to be one! Seeking the Truth is a goal of people with high morals and integrity, but instead we’ve been trained to ridicule those who have enough courage to do so. That in itself should set off every alarm bell within your mind as an extreme example of doublespeak which must be exposed! We all deserve to take a “Time Out” and look at just how far we’ve fallen!!! We the People need a break in order to find out what’s really going on!!!! It’s time for a Patriotic Holiday for the People, prior to Patriot’s Day, because NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING OUR COUNTRY AND OURSELVES!
Let’s take April 15-18, turn off our television sets, and do our own homework. Research these seemingly outrageous claims for ourselves. Go to www.taxfree15.com and the links page, follow your instincts, read and watch documentaries with your families, so you can make educated decisions. America: Freedom to Fascism found on the first page is a great place to start. http://www.infowars.com/ and http://www.prisonplanet.tv/ have up to date real news and well documented films available. http://realityreport.tv/ is another great site.
At the very least ,you know in your hearts that something is terribly wrong with our country and our world, and our government has refused to listen to us or address our concerns.
As long as we go about our lives as usual, as long as we continue to give away our power by accepting what others tell us, instead of researching for ourselves, and as long as we continue to be deceived by partisan politics, we’ll continue to be part of the problem instead of part of the solution, paying the ultimate price with our children, many of whom are too young to research for themselves. They depend on us.
We have the God given Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. If those ideals are important to us, if the fact that our constitution has been trampled is important to us, if Truth is important to us, especially since it is now being used as insult, instead of as a badge of courage and honor, than we must heed a call to peaceful non-compliance and action. If not for ourselves, then for our children and unborn descendants, who we’ve already condemned to debt slavery through our lack of challenging our government gone wild, and holding those accountable who have gambled on our compliance and won.
If these words have fanned the flame of freedom and true patriotism within your soul, stand with us. The four strike days are actually only 2 work days, Thursday and Friday, and then the weekend, with Patriot’s Day following on Monday the 19th. This gives everyone time to research my allegations, for even if only half of what I claim is true, it is way beyond acceptable and must be addressed. Set aside what you think you know in order to take the time with your families to learn and study history, our Constitution, and read the words and quotations of the people in power to learn what they really say about us. http://www.taxfree15.com/ has an education page with quotations listed.
If our Constitution is important to you, then check out the Articles of Freedom at http://www.articlesoffreedom.us/
National Strike Guidelines:
April 15-18 we are calling out to every individual, sovereign being in this country as well as around the world, who believes that true freedom, peace, and prosperity is important, to stand with us by withdrawing as much labor, support, and money as possible, from governments gone wild globally, for four consecutive days. If you feel that your job or schooling is necessary, then participate in the other steps.
Step 2 is an economic boycott of all corporate sponsored products and events during that time. Don’t buy anything, unless it’s from a locally owned Mom & Pop shop. Keep your money in your pocket and help us send a clear message to the offshore bankers who own our government that “WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEBT!
This step is encouraged to happen the 15th of every month, as a reminder of our goal and to garner support until our numbers and our message is no longer able to be ignored by the privately owned media, and “We the People” take our rightful place as the overseer’s of our lives and our governments .
Step 3 is to withdraw our money from large corporate banks: Citi Bank, Bank of America, etc, and consider supporting small local banks or credit unions, or even starting our own community banks. Think about getting off the grid, storable food, water filters, and what you need in order to protect your homes and your families.
Last but not least, ask WHY? Why are we allowing our government to spend over a billion dollars a week on war while they take our homes and want to tax us for breathing?
Why are we allowing our Constitution to be ignored?
Why are we supporting politicians who lie to us? Education is key! Please take the time to read this article and forward the link:
http://pupaganda.com/originals/Unplug_the_signal.html
NOW PICK UP THE PHONE AND ASK YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THESE SAME QUESTIONS! TELL THEM YOU SUPPORT THE STRIKE, AND ACCOUNTABLITY TO THE PEOPLE! IF YOU BELIEVE RESTORING OUR CONSTITUTION IS A GOOD IDEA, TELL THEM THAT & ADD YOUR NAME TO THE PETITION THAT WILL BE SERVED ON PATRIOTS DAY AT ALL STATE CAPITOLS! www.articlesoffreedom.us
Participate in the online educational programs about the Constitution and the Articles of Freedom that will be offered during the NATIONAL STRIKE days. What could be more Patriotic than well educated Americans, empowered, and standing for Freedom, together, as we rebuild our country from the inside out? And how can we educate ourselves unless we step back and grant ourselves the opportunity to do that TOGETHER, AS ONE PEOPLE?
Now you know the reasons for our strike. As long as we continue to go about business as usual, nothing will change. A peaceful disruption of our daily lives is necessary and urgent considering the threat of another war and more taxes based on the lies of global warming, another topic that must be explored before we pay for the privilege of breathing or believe our exhalation is toxic, while overlooking private planes and limousines used by politicians at our expense, literally! It is time to turn off our televisions and turn our attention to online sources of real education.
DON’T BUY, DON’T COMPLY, ASK WHY???
NATIONAL STRIKE & EDUCATION DAYS APRIL 15-18TH.
JOIN US! STAND FOR PEACE & FREEDOM!
SUPPORT OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS TO OVERSEE GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS SET UP TO PROTECT, NOT EXPLOIT US!
And that’s all there is to it! Feel free to use this article as you see fit. Encourage people to join us on our weekly conference calls Wednesday evenings at 7 pm pacific, and Saturday mornings 11 am pacific. 712-775-7200 712-775-7200 access code 431669#

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — More bad news on the housing bust front: Nearly 25% of all mortgage borrowers were underwater, meaning they owe more on their loans than their homes are worth. First American CoreLogic, the research firm that monitors housing equity, reported Tuesday that 11.3 million homeowners or 24% of all homes with mortgages — were underwater as of the end of 2009. That’s up from 23% and 10.7 million borrowers three months earlier. Nevada wins the boobie prize with 70% of all mortgaged properties underwater, next was Arizona with 51%, then comes Florida with 48%, followed by Michigan with 39% , that disaster area known as Detroit is really dragging Michigan down. Detroit has the lowest median housing prices in the country at $7,500 and some houses are being sold for just ONE DOLLAR! Lastly, California is at 35%. Did you know that Californias economy is the fifth largest in the world? I predict that California is the first state to go bankrupt. For many homeowners being underwater has few consequences, if they’re not planning to sell and can afford their monthly bills, they can wait out the downturn. My suggestion for people in that situation, especially if they are also carrying credit card or other consumer debt is to get on the Pay it Off System to help them quickly pay off their mortgage and debts and build equity back into their homes, for more info go to: www.teampayitoff.com.
For others however, being underwater can spell disaster! If they lose their jobs or have a financial emergency they have no equity to tap into. They can’t even downsize or relocate to find another job because they cannot sell their homes. That’s why it is SO IMPORTANT that they build equity back into their homes and on the wealth building side I suggest they purchase a whole life insurance policy with some of their funds. I will go into the benefits of taking out a whole life policy in another missive. Negative equity is a significant drag on both the housing market and on economic growth says Mark Fleming the chief economist with First American CoreLogic, it is driving foreclosures and decreasing the mobility for millions of homeowners.
Traditionally, being underwater was one of two main factors in determining a borrower’s likelihood of foreclosure. The other is having sufficient income to pay bills. But, there’s an increasingly important exception: strategic default. As equity gets more and more negative, (as the home prices continue to decline) some homeowners are choosing to quit paying and mail the keys back to the bank and walk away, But that isn’t as easy as it sounds, there are still legal consequences that have to be dealt with. I suggest you discuss this with an Attorney that has knowledge in the Real Estate arena. As long as we have falling housing prices we will continue to have homes with negative equity, no one is quite sure how to remedy this situation certainly not the Federal Government!
A new study has been released that estimates that 5 million houses and condos on which mortgages are now delinquent will go thru foreclosure and be put on the market within the next few years! Another devastating housing crisis would absolutely destroy the vast majority of small to mid sized banks in the U.S. In such a scenario the FDIC would be able to make use of the new facilities that they are opening up around the country. I just read that they are planning a huge 100,000 sq ft facility in the Midwest. There are even rumors that the big banksters do not intend for most small and mid-size bankers to survive the coming crisis. There are whispers that the big bankers see all of this economic turmoil as a great opportunity to “consolidate” the banking industry. So what should you do to get your family protected and prepared? Get out of Debt any way you can, use mortgage acceleration programs, debt settlements, mortgage modifications, downsize, and get rid of unnecessary expenses. Try to start developing alternate streams of income and come up with a plan for what you will do if you lose your job. The Reality is that hard times are coming and a lot of people are going to lose their homes and their jobs. Please don’t blindly trust the System, now is the time to make sure that you and your family will be prepared even if a total economic collapse develops.
Here are a few interesting facts I dug up this week:
Our Federal Government (OBAMA) huff and puff and try to look like a champion of the people by declaring that NOW they want to put the Banks in their place – Ha, Ha, Ha. Did you know that the SIX BIGGEST BANKS hold more assets as a % of GDP today than they did before the financial meltdown? In 1995 the six biggest banks total assets were 17% of GDP AND NOW it is an astonishing 63% of GDP! In the next two years 500 to 1,000 small banks will fail. The six biggest banks will get bigger. The Federal Reserve is owned and controlled by these 6 banks, they own your legislators, QUITE SIMPLY THEY RUN THIS COUNTRY! When will the SHEEPLE wake up and understand that these are the scum bags who have ruined this great country, shipping jobs overseas and totally obliterated the middle class, while reaping enormous profits!
I think this is fascinating. The dollar is up strongly against every major currency in the world in the last 60 days except the Yen. Everyone knows that gold goes down when the dollar goes up. Not this time. Gold is hitting a 6 week high today. This tells me that the smart money is buying gold because they know that this supposed dollar strength is bullshit. Our currency is the best looking horse in the glue factory. It will eventually reach its true intrinsic value of zero. Buy gold.

Lately I have been feeling like I have been in the matrix movie, you know the one with Keanu Reeves? Where you do not know what is real and what is imagined. Right now in this country and in the World there is a BIG difference between reality and what the Governments and their News agencies are telling us. Every statistic the Feds release is bogus, from Inflation, Unemployment, Foreclosures to Manufacturing, GDP and all the rest. To get more truthful statistics go to www.Shadowstats.com
Do you feel that you are financially better off now than you were 5 years ago? Well if you don’t you are not alone you have plenty of company! While the media bombards us with endless bullshit news and tons of commercial advertisements the reality is that we as a society are circling the drain.
You know a change is coming when the bankrupt Banksters are giving out outrageous Bonuses (up 17% this year), Athletes (even Olympic Ones) are raking in Multi Millions of dollars, the imperialist USA is spending Trillions on the BOGUS WARS in Afganistan & Iraq, while the majority of its people have been seriously downgraded. Unemployment in this country is really around 18% with most of those jobs never returning. We became a nation of consumers, we outsourced our manufacturing overseas in a bid to create consumer products at a cheaper price.
We have turned ourselves into the biggest Debtor Nation on the Planet, how did it come to this?
Believe it or not it is not totally your fault.
We were gullible and believed in the bullshit they were shoveling.
Stocks: Invest in the Stock Market and buy and hold and you will reap great wealth? How many of you bought into that one, over and over despite the fact that they continuously raped and pillaged us. Remember the Stock Market Crash of 1987? The Dot Com Bubble of 2000? How soon we forget!
If you didn’t lose all your investment money they manufactured the Housing bubble starting around 2003 and had many of us go all in buying everything from Condos to Mc Mansions, most with no or little money down! Well I guess most of you remember how that ended up. They weren’t finished, they
then gave us another fleecing in the stock market and really got us in 2007, not only destroying our portfolios but wacking our 401k’s and our IRA’s. Starting to see a pattern?
Along the way the Banksters gave us Sub Prime Mortgages, Huge Credit Card Limits, 0% Financing, Buy Now and Pay Later. Hell, we thought we were all Millionaires! (on paper anyway). Then we payed WAY TOO MUCH for our childrens Higher Education, its gotten to the point that you should SERIOUSLY be asking yourselves if this is a prudent choice, DAMN! For the same money you could have bought your kids a house or started a business for them, and for the poor kids that took out student loans, they are in for a lifetime of DEBT Slavery.
Take a look at this short video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9q1oeMcoL0
I think you should SERIOUSLY rethink your situation and make the proper adjustments – right away!
GET OUT OF DEBT ANYWAY YOU CAN.
Get rid of the Mortgage.
Get rid of the Credit Cards.
Forget buying a nice new fancy car.
Use your investment money (what’s left) to get out of debt.
Buy some Physical Gold and Silver.
Start Living below your means, downsize if necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns I would be happy to talk with you.
I am now doing Mortgage Acceleration & Debt Elimination, Debt Settlements, Mortgage Modifications and Short Sales.
