The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth imposition of what could amount to an $845 BILLION United Nations style global tax on American citizens?

It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.

According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation could eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as 0.7 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product -- or $845,000,000,000.00 -- on welfare to third-world countries.

Here's what Phyllis Schlafly, conservative activist and founder of Eagle Forum, recently wrote:

"Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts..." [Emphasis Mine]

Time is of the essence because Senator Joe Biden, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee just issued a report on the Global Poverty Act and it was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on Thursday the 24th.

That means that time is of the essence as this potentially massive surrender of your hard-earned tax dollars to the third world may be close to a vote.

That's why we must act today... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Let them know in no uncertain terms that you are watching and you will not tolerate massive United Nations style giveaways that are passed in the dark of night -- or in broad daylight for that matter. Tell them that putting us on the road to give billions to petty tyrants and dictators is NOT a solution to poverty.

This bill can come up for a vote at any time. Demand that our conservative legislators do whatever it takes -- a filibuster if necessary -- to stop this bill dead in its tracks.

The Senate Shell Game...

Advocates of the Global Poverty Act are claiming that it does not really commit the United States to anything... that it won't really cost anything... that it simply requires the President -- in conjunction with the Secretary of State -- to "develop" strategies to alleviate world poverty.

In fact, Biden's report incredulously states, "implementing S. 2433 would cost less than $1 million per year..."

Technically he's correct... after all, it doesn't really cost that much to develop and formulate strategies...

But such a cleverly worded contention begs the question: Why formulate or develop a strategy if there is no intention to follow through on that strategy?

And what would it cost to actually follow through on a strategy to alleviate world poverty?

The Global Poverty Act intentionally gives no specific figures but it does contain clues, and those clues are stated repeatedly in the legislation's reliance on the United Nations Millennium Development Goal.

WorldNetDaily.com quotes Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media as saying:

"The bill defines the term 'Millennium Development Goals' as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration..."

"In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning 'small arms and light weapons' and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child."

As for specific figures... WorldNetDaily.com reports:

"Those U.N. protocols would make U.S. law on issues ranging from the 2nd Amendment to energy usage and parental rights all subservient to United Nations whims."

"[T]he legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years... would amount to $845 billion 'over and above what the U.S. already spends.'"

"The plan passed the House in 2007 'because most members didn't realize what was in it.' Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."

And, how would the United States pay for this $845 BILLION commitment? According to Kincaid, who published a report on the legislation; "A global tax will clearly be necessary to force American taxpayers to provide the money."

And that $845 BILLION global tax is in addition to our nation's current Foreign Aid programs, which, in 2006, cost American taxpayers about $300 BILLION!

Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act has already passed the House (many Members unfortunately voted in favor of it without carefully noting exactly what was in it) and President Bush may very well sign it!

That's why it must be stopped, and it must be stopped NOW!

It Gets Worse!

Here are some of the additional provisions of the Millennium Development Goal:

a "currency transfer tax," that is, a tax imposed on companies and individuals who must exchange dollars for foreign currency;

a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources";

a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection -- oil, natural gas, coal";

"fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."

a "standing peace force," meaning a standing United Nations army that might, in time, be large enough to force us to bend to its will;

a "UN arms register of all small arms and light weapons," the beginning of the end of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution;

the "eradication of poverty" by the "redistribution [of] wealth and land" -- How do you suppose the United Nations expects to "redistribute" the land and the wealth? And what country do you think the third-world majority will go after first?

cancellation of "the debts of developing countries,"

"a fair distribution of the earth's resources."

and "political control of the global economy."

In other words, it's a blueprint for a world government, owned and operated by the United Nations.

One thing is clear: the Millennium Development Goal is a dagger aimed at the heart of America.

While the Global Poverty Act, as presently championed by its Senate supporters, embraces certain aspects of the Millennium Development Goal, one should wonder if some of our legislators also support land and wealth "redistribution."

We must stop this bill dead in its tracks.

We must stop this subversion NOW! Don't let Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act sneak through the Senate.

Other Appropriate Entities...

Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs -- a Columbia University economist -- is monitoring the Millennium Development Goal for the United Nations.

In his 2005 report to Kofi Annan -- based on the research of 265 "poverty specialists" -- Sachs criticized the United States for giving only a mere $16.3 billion a year to alleviate global poverty.

He argued that we should spend at least an additional $30 billion a year.

And Sachs has decreed that the only way to force the United States to commit that much money is to IMPOSE A GLOBAL TAX.

Has Senator Obama -- along with the other Senate co-sponsors -- introduced the Global Policy Act at least in partial obedience to Sachs' wishes?

Phyllis Schlafly claims:

"The Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium Goals of global governance and international taxes on Americans. Tell your Senators to kill this un-American bill."

Joe Farah, publisher of WorldNetDaily.com said of this treacherous bill:

"Now comes an even grander proposal by Barack Obama. It's called the Global Poverty Act, that would, in the next decade, transfer at least $845 billion of U.S. taxpayer money overseas. Think of Johnson's failed war on poverty going international -- directed not by Americans but by the United Nations."

And yes, just in case you think the massive amounts of your tax dollars that were wasted under the United Nation's Oil for Food program were an aberration, and that such a thing could not eventually happen on a more massive scale were the Global Poverty Act to sneak through the Senate, Doug Powers, writing for WorldNetDaily.com made this observation:

"Not long ago, Nigeria's 'anti-corruption commission' -- runner-up in the 'oxymoron of the year' competition, second only to 'U.S. Senate Intelligence' -- found that past rulers of Nigeria have stolen or misused billions of dollars."

"The commission discovered that the amount of money 'missing' adds up to all the Western aid given to Africa in four decades. Obama, Hagel and Cantwell want to throw more at them. Apparently they won't be happy until there are trillions of our tax dollars stolen by crooked leaders and warlords." [Emphasis Mine]

Unfortunately, the Global Poverty Act is still flying under the radar, but not for long.

There is hope.

We know, and we can stop this vicious bill -- provided we act RIGHT NOW!

Bubba and the Tazer

nobody@vox.com(JudgeBob) — Mon, 19 May 2008 05:50:24 -0700

I first ran across this story on a site most folks wouldn't be visiting. You see, I get around to some of the places where sex addicts go to minister freedom to those enslaved, but when I ran across this story, I found it so compelling, I just had to share. Its been years since I'd seen this and had actually lost track of it, so I was glad to see it come to my inbox as an email fun circular. A little background, Bubba is a nice guy really, but he likes his sex life.. um.. spicy. Anyway, you will see what I mean as you read his tale of woe.

Dear Friends, My wife Kathy is fond of saying that my last words on this earth will be something akin to, "hey y'all, hold my beer and watch this!" Well, I have outdone myself once again. No doubt you will see this true story chronicled in a Lifetime movie in the near future. Here goes.

Last weekend I spied something at Larry's Pistol and Pawn that
tickled my fancy. (Note: Keep in mind that my "fancy" is easily
tickled). I bought something really cool for Kathy.

The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a
little something extra for my sweet girl. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer gun with a clip. For those of you who are not familiar with this product, it is a less-than-lethal stun gun with two metal prongs designed to incapacitate an assailant with a shock of high-voltage, low amperage electricity while you flee to safety. The effects are supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, but allowing you adequate time to retreat to safety.

You simply jab the prongs into your 250 lb. Tattooed assailant,
push the button, and it will render him a slobbering, goggle-eyed,
muscle-twitching, whimpering, pencil-neck geek. If you've never
seen one of these things in action, then you're truly missing out--
way too cool! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.

I planted myself in my easy chair and opened the package and to check out the new toy, but I hadn't taken into account that batteries would not be included. After popping the battery cover off, I saw that it required two triple a's so off I went to the kitchen to scrounge through the drawers in search of some left over batteries. After twenty minutes going through every possible hiding place two loose batteries might be hiding, I finally gave up and went back to my easy chair. Once there I noticed the remote control for the TV. Hey, hey! I wonder how much juice is left in these? Are they even triple a's? Ah ha, paydirt. I loaded two half dead batteries in the darn thing and pushed the
button. Nothing! I was so disappointed. Upon reading the directions (we don't need no stinkin' directions), I found much to my chagrin that this particular model would not create an arch between the prongs. How disappointing! I do ! love fir e for effect. I learned that if I pushed the button, however, and pressed it against a metal surface that I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs that I was so looking forward to. I did so. Awesome!!! Sparks, a blue arch of electricity, and a loud pop!!! Yipeeeeee . . I'm easily amused, just for your information, but I have yet to explain to Kathy what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself
that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries,
etc., etc. There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on
intently (trusting little soul), reading the directions (that would
be me, not Gracie) and thinking that I really needed to try this
thing out on a flesh and blood target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie for a fraction of a second and thought better of it. She is such a sweet kitty, after all. But, if I was going to give this thing to Kathy to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.

Am I wrong? Was I wrong to think that? Seemed reasonable to me at the time... So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, Tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. All the while I'm looking at this little device (measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference, pretty cute really, and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "no friggin' way!"

Friggin' way--trust me, but I'm getting ahead of myself. What
happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.
Th! ose of y ou who know me well have got a pretty good idea of what followed. I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say," don't do it buddy," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny lil' ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad (sound, rational thinking under the circumstances,
wouldn't you agree?). I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the hell of it. (Note! : You know, a bad decision is like
hindsight--always twenty-twenty. It is so obvious that it was a
bad decision after the fact, even though it seemed so right at the
time. Don't ya hate that?)

I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY **************! DAaaaauuuuuuMN!!! I'm pretty sure that Jessie Ventura ran in through the front door, picked me up out of that recliner, then body slammed me on the carpet over and over again.

I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position,
nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, soaking wet, with
my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position. Gracie was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!" (Note: If you ever feel compelled to mug yourself with a Tazer, one note of caution. There is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You're not going to let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. Then, if you're lucky, you won't dislodge one of the prongs 1/4" deep in your thigh like yours truly.) SON-OF-A-***** that hurt! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at this point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both titties were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, as my bott! om lip w eighed 88 lbs. give or take an ounce or two, I'm pretty sure.

By the way, has anyone seen my testicles? I think they ran away.
I'm offering a reward! They're round, rather large, kinda hairy,
and handsome if I must say so myself. Miss 'em . . . sure would
like to get 'em back.

Bob

Professor Takes a Stand

nobody@vox.com(JudgeBob) — Mon, 19 May 2008 01:11:32 -0700

Not all professors and colleges are buckling under the pressure of Islamic radicalism in America.

Professor
Wichman E-mail

Claim:
A Michigan
professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.

Status:
True.

Hooray for A Michigan State Professor!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The story begins at Michigan State University with
a mechanical engineering professor named

Indrek Wichman.

Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association.

The e-mail was in response to the students' protest

of the Danish cartoons

that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.

The group had complained the cartoons were

'hate speech.'

Enter
Professor Wichman.

In his e-mail, he said the following:

Dear
Moslem Association,

As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU

I intend to protest your protest.

I am offended not by cartoons,

but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians,

cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders,

murders of Catholic priests

(the latest in Turkey),

burnings of Christian churches,

the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt,

the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims,

the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women

(called 'whores' in your culture),

the murder of film directors in Holland,

and the rioting and looting in Paris France.

This is what offends me,

a soft-spoken person and academic,

and many, many of my colleagues.

I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal,

and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems

to be very aware of this as you proceed

with your infantile 'protests.'

If you do not like the values of the West -

see the 1st Amendment -

you are free to leave.

I hope for God's sake

that most of you choose that option

Please return to your ancestral homelands

and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.

Cordially,

I. S. Wichman

Professor of Mechanical Engineering

=======================================================================================

As you can imagine, the
Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well.

They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and
the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty

and mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.

Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray.

CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently
doesn't believe that the good professor had the right to express his opinion.

(unlike the broad latitude given to the Islamists to spew their hate-filled
raves)

For its part, the university is standing its ground

in support of Professor Wichman, saying
the e-mail was private, and
they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks.

============================================================

We are in a war.

This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us.

Oh Muslim...

nobody@vox.com(JudgeBob) — Sun, 18 May 2008 22:44:45 -0700

Let us compare the conversions of Christians to Islam to the Muslims who convert to Christianity. Who is studied, who has worked through the Bible and the Qu'ran to compare one to another? Who has struggled in knowledge and chosen in understanding rather than by emotion alone or knowledge of the Qu'ran only? Who has considered the consequence of his decision and made his choice with full knowledge and wills himself to whatever may come? Is it the convert to Islam or the convert to Christianity?

This first case is Afshin who was a dedicated Muslim who met Christ in prison where he was teaching Islam to everybody who would listen. The powers he describes having in Islam sound more like witch craft than the service of the Merciful. The next case is Hamza Yusuf who teaches Islam today and holds the position of Imam. He sounds more like a transcendentalist than an Imam. Also, his Christianity was nominal at best, not a believer at all at worst but identified as a Christian only by birth. Christianity teaches that one cannot be born into Christianity but must have a personal relationship with God. This is not what he describes. Next we have Angela Collins and Sufiya al Qusabi who are both 9/11 widows. Neither turns out to be any better examples of Christians than does Hamza Yusuf. These are the most prominent conversions I could find either way. One can know whether one has salvation in Christianity while in Islam one cannot know until the judgment day. As Afshin describes, I have known the physical sensation of having been forgiven. Please consider the evidence of the scriptures by comparison, Bible to Qu'ran. The truth in them will reveal which belief is true. I have a rudimentary understanding of the Qu'ran and a deep understanding of the Bible and when I compare what the Bible teaches in regard to science, the Bible holds true by everything science proves while the Qu'ran has real problems with some basic truths like Sura 18:86 "Where does the sun go at night?" and Sura 86:7 "Where does sperm come from?"
