Don't count on your church leadership to expose evil and save America. They have compromised their principles for money and relationship building and can no longer discern evil. Jesus said when salt loses its savor it is to be trodden underfoot. Pastors have lost their savor, and in the process, have lost their backbone and the love for their fellow man. They fear IRS more than God.

Freedom Quotes VOL.. VII

As we approach the anniversary of the Siege and the Battle of the Alamo (began on Tuesday, February 23, 1836), and its subsequent fall (Sunday, March 6, 1836), I would like to do a special edition of Freedom Quotes in honor of Col. David Crockett. After reading some of what Crockett had to say about, politics, politicians, government and living by one's principles, you will see that not much has changed since his day.
Editor/RP
Remember that government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
I am at liberty to vote as my conscience and judgment dictates to be right, without the yoke of any party on me…. Look at my arms, you will find no party hand-cuffs on them.
I gave my decisions on the principles of common justice and honesty between man and man, and relied on natural born sense, and not on law-learning to guide me; for I had never read a page in a law book in all my life.
--In 1818, giving the basis for his legal decisions.
Although our great man at the head of the nation has changed his course, I will not change mine. I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized…. I shall insist upon it that I am still a Jackson man, but General Jackson is not; he has become a Van Buren man.
--Comments on then US President Andrew Jackson
I would rather be beaten and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless and independent, and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.
--Statement following his 1831 election defeat
Money with [Congress] is nothing but trash when it is to come out of the people. But it is the one great thing for which most of them are striving, and many of them sacrifice honor, integrity, and justice to obtain it.
We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.
--In a speech before the US House of Representatives
I have never knew what it was to sacrifice my own judgment to gratify any party, and I have no doubt of the time being close at hand when I will be rewarded for letting my tongue speak what my heart thinks. I have suffered myself to be sacrificed to save my country from ruin and disgrace, and if I am never again elected, I will have the gratification to know that I have done my duty.
--Commenting on his final election defeat in 1835
It was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson…even at the expense of my conscience and judgment. Such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles.
Let your tongue speak what your heart thinks.
The party in power, like Jonah’s gourd, grew up quickly and will quickly fall.
There ain’t no ticks like poly-ticks. Bloodsuckers all.
We must not permit our respect for the dead, or our sympathy for part of the living, to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
--In a speech before the US House of Representatives
Pop, pop, pop! Bom, bom, bom! Throughout all the day. No time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and Independence forever.
--His last entry in his diary, March 5, 1836
I would rather be in my present situation than to be elected to a seat in Congress for Life.
--January 9, 1836 in a letter to his daughter in Tennessee, about one month before he was killed at the Alamo.
Be always sure you are right, then go ahead.
All above listed quotes are attributed to the speeches, letters, diary entries and sayings of Col. David Crockett.

The Real Story Behind Planned Parenthood

This is from Survivors, a Christian, anti-abortion organization. Planned Parenthood is an evil organization to say the very least, and some of this information Survivors provides goes a long way to show that. - Editor/RP
Planned Parenthood is the number one provider of abortions nationally. Did you also know that the "family planning" organization also promotes sex outside of marriage and sexual experimentation to teens? Did you know Planned Parenthood has been caught providing illegal abortions to minors, and covering up for child rapists?
Check out just a few of the examples of the extent of Planned Parenthood's evil empire:
- Phone calls made by investigators to Planned Parenthood clinics, exposing PP's willingness to cover up for child rapists and perform abortions on minors: watch the video
- Planned Parenthood's website targeting teens, encouraging sexual freedom and subverting parents' roles as educators. In their own words, "Sexuality and Relationship info you can trust from Planned Parenthood": teenwire.com (warning - much of the content is offensive and definitely not suitable for young teens).
- Teenwire In Focus - an article on Planned Parenthood's teen site featuring an interview with Amy Bryant, Planned Parenthood volunteer and author of the novel Polly. Bryant's book "follows a teenage girl's sexual exploits from middle school through college and frankly addresses sex, birth control, and abortion." Read the interview.

Texas turns teenage girls into HPV vaccination profit centers

This article is from NewsTarget director, Mike Adams, who makes some excellent points regarding Gov. Rick Perry's (R-TX) blatant disregard of parental liberty. -Editor/RP
(NewsTarget / Opinion) This is an important health freedom update from Mike Adams. If you believe in your health freedom, and you believe that forced vaccinations of children have gone too far, then you need to know the real story about what's happening in Texas right now.
Here's a thumbnail of the CounterThink cartoon we posted on this issue today. Click the thumbnail on the left to see the full cartoon.
The real story on what's happening now
On Friday, Feb. 2, Texas governor Rick Perry issued an executive order that bypassed the will of the people and the entire Texas legislature, mandating the vaccination of young girls with the HPV vaccine sold by Merck -- the same drug company that reportedly gave thousands to Perry's campaign efforts. The vaccine is absolutely worthless as a medical treatment according to top docs in the alternative health field, and in my opinion, the so-called "science" supporting the vaccine as the only prevention for cervical cancer is an outright fraud.
But the story gets even more interesting when you start connecting the dots. A key Merck lobbyist, a man named Mike Toomey, actually served as the governor's chief of staff. In other words, a former top power person for the governor now works for Merck, the drug company that gave money to the campaign of the governor who essentially used dictatorial power to mandate, without any public debate whatsoever, the mass vaccination of young girls with a drug that will earn tens of millions of dollars in profits for Merck. Sound suspicious? It should.
The "dirty money connection" seems obvious to many readers who have been following this story, including one who posted, "Only a man, Rick Perry especially, would sign an executive order, bypassing legislation, to inject girls with chemicals made by one of his contributors even though most parents have never seen sufficient information about this vaccine. Perry should be impeached as a threat to the safety of our children."
The humanitarian cover story
Drug companies are experts at framing their profit pursuits as public health initiatives. "We have to protect the little girls!" they insist, but what's really going on behind closed doors is a far less altruistic push -- the push for profits. Requiring millions of young girls to get these new vaccines just happens to generate enormous profits for Merck. But Merck officials, and even the governor of Texas, would have you believe that has nothing to do with this. Apparently, the fact that Merck will earn obscene profits from this initiative never entered their minds.
Nonsense. If Merck really wants to help these teenage girls, why don't they pledge to give away all their vaccines free of charge? In fact, if they're such a humanitarian organization, why don't they give away all their drugs, and release third world countries from patent protection at the same time? The answer, of course, is because this is all about money, not public health. If Merck was really about "patients first," they should convert to a 501(c)3 non-profit, stop paying their CEOs $10+ million salaries, and give all their drugs away for free as a gift to humankind, shouldn't they?
That will never happen, of course, because it really is about the money. The sick care industry is a for-profit industry, and the more people drug companies can target as being sick today -- or even possibly someday being sick at some future date that "justifies" treatment right now -- the more money they can sock away in the bank. When it comes to money, it seems drug companies will stop at nothing to get more of it, including influencing state officials to mandate vaccine consumption policies that have nothing whatsoever to do with evidence-based medicine or genuine compassion for the health and lives of human beings.
What's happening in Texas right now is a form of medical tyranny, and it's only the beginning of what may prove to be a monumental battle between personal freedoms vs. the corporate-controlled State.
We must stop the medical tyranny
If we let Texas get away with this medical tyranny, forcing all young girls to undergo these HPV vaccinations even against their parents' wishes, more states will follow suit. Merck is right now lobbying hard to pass similar measures in over twenty other states, and if we don't put a stop to the Texas situation, Merck will feel emboldened and likely urge other governors to make the same declarations in their states, calling it a "public health" measure but actually pocketing the profits from massive sales of these vaccines.
What can you do?
I say we fight the tyranny by exposing it. Today, NewsTarget.com published a CounterThink cartoon that hits this issue hard, exposing the financial connection between Merck and Gov. Perry while illustrating the utter insanity of having young girls line up to get vaccine shots for a disease that can be prevented a hundred other ways. Click here to view the cartoon.
You can take action to spread the word on this issue. POST this cartoon to your website and LINK to our articles on this topic. We give you full permission to reprint this cartoon and forward it to your friends. Expose this medical madness before we all end up prisoners under a system of medical tyranny that turns the bodies of teenage girls into profit centers for Big Pharma! And unlike Merck, we don't care about the intellectual property royalties on this comic. Make as many copies as you want. Print up T-shirts. Add it to your book. Use it as you wish, and you don't owe me a dime. Why? Because I actually do care about my fellow human beings and I'm here to help stop the medical madness sweeping America today.
Speak up now or surrender your health freedoms forever
You see, if we don't stand up to this kind of medical tyranny, it will only get worse. This debate is not merely about one vaccine, it's about surrendering your health freedom to a medical system that is owned and controlled by Big Pharma. Drug companies practically run the FDA, the EPA and even control the FTC (when was the last time the FTC investigated and prosecuted drug company monopolies?). Drug companies influence the DEA to keep their own drugs legal while the exact same "street" drugs are illegal. They own our elected officials, almost all of which accepted at least some money from drug companies in their last election campaign. Drug companies also own the mainstream media by propping up television networks, cable networks, newspapers, magazines and websites with literally billions of dollars in advertising. On top of that, drug companies heavily influence the medical journals and medical schools, and have effectively limited the entire conventional medical industry to a "drugs and surgery" approach to health, practically censoring nutritional knowledge out of existence.
Given this environment, is anyone supposed to believe we will see anything resembling honest debate or genuine science about this HPV vaccine? The entire industry, including drug companies, doctors, medical journals and the mainstream media, is twisting the facts to create the illusion that these vaccines are both safe and effective when, in reality, they are probably neither. Nor are they necessary. Cervical cancer is prevented in a hundred other ways, including adequate sunlight exposure and vitamin D consumption, supplementation with probiotics, adequate intake of selenium and zinc, increased consumption of trace minerals and iodine, regular physical exercise and many other safe, natural, non-patented strategies.
America is being hoodwinked over the HPV vaccine. To call this anything resembling genuine public health policy is an absolute joke. It's really just a grand moneymaking scheme that exploits the bodies of young girls, marketed to look like compassionate health care. Supporters of this policy are shameless, ignorant and devious in framing their nonsensical arguments using carefully-chosen words and phrases that make them seem like they're delivering a cancer cure from God. But in reality, mandatory HPV vaccines are a deal with the devil.
Consider this: With all the drugs being prescribed, all the toxic chemicals being consumed, and all the diseases now ravaging America -- a country with the highest rates of degenerative disease in the world -- does anybody really thing that injecting one more drug is the answer? You'd have to be crazy to think so.

BP Agent Ramos Attacked in Prison
Grassfire.org is reporting that Border Patrol Agent Ramos was attacked this weekend in Prison.
The story about the two unjustly imprisoned border patrol guards was shown on Saturday's edition of America's Most Wanted on FOX. Ramos was attacked sometime around 10:00 pm by at least 5 other prisoners. Grassfire.org spoke with Ramos' uncle, who said , "Nacho was assaulted Saturday night around 2200 by about five illegal immigrants. He has multiple and severe injuries. They put him in Isolation for now, he has not been allowed to see a doctor since Saturday. They were yelling at him in Spanish, Maten a la migra. which means kill the Border Patrol Agent."
Reportedly, Ramos was attacked once again after going to sleep Saturday night, and received injuries to his back, arms, shoulders and head. Ramos was not allowed to receive medical attention immediately, and it is quite possible that a full 48 hours passed before he was given any medical treatment.
Several media outlets have been alerted to this atrocity, including CNN's Lou Dobbs.
I'm not sure how deviant the Justice Department and their superiors are, but one has to wonder, have Agents Ramos and Compean been purposefully placed into life threatening atmospheres? Does the Federal government really want these two men getting out of prison alive?

REVIEW: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price

I’m not much of a documentary watcher. Documentaries are often one-sided and never give the true story. Sure, they may have a lot of truth in them, but it is twisted in order to meet the agenda of the filmmakers. Recently, I have made a few exceptions to my “Documentary Rule”. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a review on Aaron Russo’s America: From Freedom To Fascism. Russo’s film will at least send the viewer on a quest to find out if the things he brings up are actually so, and what you find you will not like.
Last night, I made another exception to my “Documentary Rule”. My wife is a former Wal-Mart employee, and she just had to watch Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. I do not agree with everything suggested by the film, as the producer and director is a liberal. However, several issues are brought up in this movie, which should cause all freedom-loving Americans to pause and consider.
Briefly, here are some of the issues covered by this film:
Wal-Mart’s treatment of their employees. My wife was able to confirm much of this, and she mentioned several times while she worked there. Wal-Mart will only give the average full-time employee 28 hours per week, their health benefits are worthless, and they encourage many of their employees to get government assistance! They will even provide their employees with the paperwork for Food stamps and Medicaid.
Wal-Mart’s treatment of local businesses. Wal-Mart will undercut, intimidate and do all they can to destroy any potential competitors in the local areas where they open their stores.
Wal-Mart cost to taxpayers. Wal-Mart gets more government subsidies (tax dollars) from city, county and state governments every year than any other corporation. Millions of dollars go to Wal-Mart each year, sometimes more.
Wal-Mar
t’s threat to American jobs. I’ve known several people over the last few years who refuse to shop at Wal-Mart, because of Wal-Mart’s globalist attitude. Wal-Mart does more to destroy the American economy than anything else besides the Federal Reserve. Wal-Mart has helped increase our trade deficit with China, and allow China to buy up our national debt.Wal-Mart’s threat to their customers. Wal-Mart’s parking lots are some of the most dangerous places in America. It is amazing to see how much violent crime takes place in their parking lots. And you thought those cameras were there for your security.
You can purchase Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price from WalMartMovie.com, and Amazon.com. You can also pick up at movie rental outlets nationwide.
