For The People Joins In The Request For A Congressional Investigation Hearing!

For The People is joining in the request of Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio that there be a Congressional Investigation Hearing into his cold case investigation unit's findings about President Obama's birth certificate.
Here is Sheriff Arpaio's July, 17, 2012 press release:

EXHAUSTIVE INQUIRY LEADS TO NEW INFORMATION
SHERIFF’S INVESTIGATORS: “PRESIDENT’S LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FRAUD”
HAWAII IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLE COULD POSE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERN,
SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO SAYS
(Phoenix, AZ) Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, along with Cold Case Posse Lead Investigator Mike Zullo, held a news conference today regarding information stemming from an exhaustive examination into President Obama’s long form birth certificate.
Zullo told reporters that the information he developed confirms that the document presented to the American public by the White House in April 2011 is undoubtedly fraudulent.
The information developed during this stage of the investigation which underscores the fraudulent nature of the LFBC certificate was based partially upon an interview with the person whose signature actually appears on it.
Furthermore, the investigators conducted a close examination of Hawaii’s laws pertaining to registered births. Those laws essentially provide easy access to a Hawaii birth certificate, even if neither parent is a U.S. citizen. A birth certificate is a legal document which provides “proof” that an individual was born in the United States. It automatically grants a person U.S. citizenship. The investigation shows the way in which Hawaii officials currently distribute birth certificates may pose a serious flaw to our national security.
The Sheriff’s investigation into the President’s birth certificate authenticity question began in October, 2011, after 250 concerned Maricopa County citizens approached Sheriff Arpaio saying they had reason to believe that the electronic document presented in an April, 2011, news conference from the White House to the American public, as well as the citizens of Maricopa County, was a forgery.
Arpaio promised to look into the matter. Six months into the investigation, Sheriff’s Cold Case Posse concluded that there is probable cause to believe that the Obama’s birth certificate as well as his Selective Service registration card were, in fact, suspected forgeries.
How the investigators reached that conclusion was detailed in a March 1, 2012 press conference held by Sheriff Arpaio and Mike Zullo, the lead investigator in the matter. (March 1 press release)
Since the public disclosure of those initial findings in March, Sheriff’s investigators tracked down a number of witnesses including persons of interest during a trip to the State of Hawaii in the furtherance of their investigation.
The Sheriff’s Cold Case Posse uncovered the following information which advances the assertion that a fraud has occurred:

• Investigators learned that Hawaii Department of Health utilizes a coding system defined by the federal government to categorize and code the required information on all Birth Certificates registered by the state including those registered in 1961. This process involves writing specific number codes by hand and in pencil, placed next to relevant information contained on the birth certificate. The coding numbers seen on the President’s LFBC are not consistent with the coding responses required by the federal government to match the information presented. The incorrect codes indicate that the President’s LFBC has been altered or amended. (click here for video explanation)
• Investigators tracked down the person who was the local registrar at the time of Obama’s birth who allegedly signed and coded the document which Obama now says proves his birth place as Hawaii. Verna K. Lee, now a 95 year-old woman, allegedly signed the document on August 8, 1961. She provided information about the vital information codes and their corresponding meanings. The information she provided challenges the President’s claim that his birthplace in 1961 was the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital.
• Sheriff’s investigators in Hawaii were stymied by the state registrar of the Hawaii Department of Health, Alvin Onaka, as well as the Attorney General’s Office in Honolulu when investigators asked to compare the White House version of the LFBC to the original document presumably held in Hawaii. Investigators met with the Hawaii Assistant Attorney General, Jill Nagamine. Nagamine refused to give Sheriff’s investigators permission to see the original birth documentation held by the Hawaii Department of Health which was used to create the President’s long form birth certificate. Furthermore, Nagamine refused to verify whether the PDF birth certificate released by the White House is in fact an exact copy of the document released to the President’s attorneys.
  

Perhaps more alarming than anything else, in the course of this investigation, lead investigator Mike Zullo came across information which demands immediate action by the federal government.
“If a nation’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble. Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation’s immigration policy,” Arpaio says.
Arpaio and his investigators have learned that for decades and remaining today, Hawaii has extremely loose policies regarding birth records - who can acquire them and how they are distributed. Additionally, those policies in Hawaii state law appear to be in direct contradiction to U.S. Immigration policy.
Under Hawaii statute, a person only has to be an established resident of Hawaii, not necessarily a U.S. citizen, in that state and pay taxes there for one year to be able to register an out of state or foreign born person with an official Hawaii birth certificate.
The law, Hawaii Revised Statute 338-17.8 states:
“Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.”
Sheriff Arpaio and his investigators have grave concerns about this Hawaii Revised Statute believing it could be a gaping loophole that makes it possible for foreign born people to legally establish U.S. citizenship even if neither parent is an American citizen.
It is important to note that although this state law was not established until the early 1980’s long after President Obama’s birth, the laws that were in effect in 1961 were also researched by investigators and contain many similar concerns which allowed unattended births to be registered by persons simply knowing of the birth’s occurrence.
Sheriff Arpaio says, “Often investigations into one matter lead law enforcement officials to other issues of serious concern. This Hawaiian law may be a serious threat to national security and needs to be immediately addressed by the U.S. Government.”
Considering the fact that Hawaii appears to be very lax in its distribution of birth certificates, it is possible, though certainly not proven, that President Obama, through the actions of others, may have benefitted by the ease with which one can obtain a birth certificate proving U.S. citizenship.
Arpaio says his investigators will continue to delve into this matter but ultimately this investigation needs to be given to the proper authority to further.
“Through the hard work of Mike Zullo and his team of investigators we have pointed out some inconsistencies, or oddities, relating to the President’s birth certificate. Taken one by one they may not be terribly concerning. But put them altogether and they paint a picture of deception that requires a federal inquiry,” Arpaio says.
“My hope is that the U.S. Congress will take over from here if not to further the birth certificate forgery possibility, then at least to examine the state of Hawaii’s laws in regards to the issuance of birth certificates which may be permitting untold numbers of foreign born people to wrongly gain U.S. citizenship,” Arpaio says.

Political Corruption to the Highest Eschelons

Americans....think that your government or FBI are here to represent you and keep you safe?
Well, think again.... and watch the video below for proof that they won't!

Law of the Sea Treaty, is your Senator supporting it?

The Right Scoop writes "Some things never die, including the Law of the Sea Treaty. Negotiated in the 70s, LOST is back and according the Obama administration, more essential than ever".


"The Obama Administration is pushing for accession to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which would expose the United States to baseless environmental lawsuits, including suits based on alleged U.S. contributions to global climate change. Accession would also require the U.S. to transfer billions of dollars in oil and gas royalties generated on its continental shelf to UNCLOS member states, particularly landlocked states and states that are the least developed.


The U.S. does not need to join the convention in order to access oil and gas resources located on its extended continental shelf (ECS), the Arctic, or the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, it can and should use bilateral treaties with neighboring countries to demarcate the limits of its maritime and continental shelf boundaries.


If the U.S. becomes a member of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, it will be required to transfer a large portion of the royalties generated on the U.S. extended continental shelf to the International Seabed Authority. These royalties may likely total tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars. The Authority may then distribute those funds to developing and landlocked nations, including some that are corrupt, undemocratic, or even state sponsors of terrorism. Instead of diverting U.S. revenues to such dubious purposes, the U.S. government should retain any wealth derived from the U.S. extended continental shelf for the benefit of the American people." says The Heritage Foundation.


The Right Scoop further writes "In sum, LOST is bad news. Bad news for the energy industry, the economy and national sovereignty. So why are we still short the requisite 34 votes needed to kill ratification of the treaty? This is where you come in. It only takes two minutes to make a phone call. Senator McConnell said, “I don’t support it, of course, and I don’t think it will pass.” Sources also indicate Senator Corker is close to changing his vote. But let’s make sure LOST is dead in the water.

***UPDATE


Keep up the good work. The Hill is reporting Senator Johanns is no longer supporting LOST, meaning only three more “no” votes are necessary to kill ratification". (Thanks to The Right Scoop for the senators listing above as well!)


For The People couldn't agree more and urges everyone in the above mentioned senators states to write them and tell them to vote NO! We lose our sovereignty each day Congress sits and passes bills, laws and regulations like this. So, let's not be silent anymore and SPEAK OUT LOUD & CLEAR... that We the People say... ENOUGH ALREADY by sending them emails, tweeting them, calling them and tell them... DO NOT RATIFY LOST. I DID! Won't you stand with me and do so too?

GMO Babies Exist!

U.S. researchers create 30 genetically modified human babies

Tuesday, July 03, 2012 by: D Holt

(NaturalNews) US fertility researchers from the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in New Jersey have created 30 healthy babies who have been genetically altered. It has been confirmed that two of these children have the DNA of three parents.

The babies were created when women were treated for infertility by Professor Jacques Cohen and his team. Their eggs had defects in tiny structures in their egg cells called mitochondria. They had mitochondria from donor eggs inserted into these eggs, as well as DNA from sperm cells. The mitochondria contain DNA and therefore have carried the donor DNA into the egg. The babies will now pass on this genetic change to their children down the maternal line when they reproduce.

Professor Cohen is regarded as a controversial but brilliant pioneer in the world of reproductive medicine. His work on helping infertile couples has resulted in advances in the ability to help infertile men have their own offspring, by inserting genetic material from sperm into egg cells so that donor sperm is not required. However, many see that some of his research, and some of his claims, to be a step too far, such as the claim that he could clone children.

Worthless and dangerous tinkering

Lord Winston, of the Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: "Regarding the treatment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth doing . . . I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would certainly not be allowed in Britain."

A spokesman for the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) agreed that due to the possibility of altering the human germ line, it would not license the technique in Britain. However, the less rigid rules on fertilization treatment in other countries mean that this kind of technology could allow modifications to the gene pool worldwide. Whilst these are the first "healthy" babies that have been genetically modified, the long term effects of carrying DNA from three parents is not known.

The technique used could allow the parents of a child to choose a third parent with traits they wish their children to have, such as being taller, and would open up the whole debate about the ethics of designer babies. As a species, we have to be very careful that our inventions, such as this technique, do not cause damage to the genes of our future descendants.

New Danger at the Fukushima Reactor

(NaturalNews) - Measurements taken recently at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear complex in northern Japan have revealed record levels of radiation contamination, officials with the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, said.


The elevated contamination levels were discovered in the basement of reactor No. 1, officials said - a discovery that will further delay and impede operations aimed at cleaning up the site. It was the first internal measurement carried out since three of the plant's nuclear reactors were damaged by a tsunami caused by a major earthquake off Japan's northeastern coast in March 2011.


TEPCO engineers reportedly gathered samples from the basement after inserting a camera and consulting measuring instruments through a drain hole located in the ceiling of the basement.
The company said radiation levels above radiation-contaminated water in the basement measured as high as 10,300 millisievert per hour - a dose plenty high enough to kill human beings in short order after making them sick within minutes.


Radiation levels even higher than anticipated


Put another way, the annual allowable dose for plant workers at the site is reached in just 20 seconds. One report said the dose was enough to kill humans in less than an hour.


"Workers cannot enter the site and we must use robots for the demolition," said TEPCO, in a statement.
TEPCO official, Junichi Matsumoto said he believed there was a higher radiation level in the No. 1 reactor because more fuel rods than suspected melted down following the incident.


The power company said radiation levels there were 10 times what they have measured at the plant's other damaged reactors, numbers two and three. In all, the Fukushima plant contained six reactors.


The meltdown of the reactors came after the tsunami managed to cut power to their cooling systems.
The plan now is to demolish the three damaged reactors, as well as the plant's No. 4 unit, but that is expected to take 40 years and will require use of new technologies.


New danger - the weather


Meanwhile, Fukushima now faces yet another impending typhoon season, which could result in even more damage and contamination at the site.


Already this season Typhoon Guchol has hit Japan, which led to warnings of floods and landslides from the Japan Meteorological Agency.


Typhoons are common to Japan this time of year so that part is nothing new. But given the exposure and vulnerability of the Fukushima Daichai plant, the risk of a violent storm causing even more calamity is real.
A major tornado also struck in the latter part of June, killing a teenage boy, injuring 50 others and destroying houses and property.


Scientists are particularly worried about twisters hitting the damaged plant.
"Uranium spent fuel pools of No. 3 and No. 4 reactors are currently naked," Kazuhiko Kudo, a research professor of nuclear engineering at Kyushu University, said June 5. "A tornado with winds of 100 meters per second like the one that hit Tsukuba could suck up the pool water," exposing the fuel rods, he said.

The Quote of the Decade

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

Foreign Agents Creep into U.S. & Canada Under Integration Scheme

Written by  Alex Newman 
http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/north-america


As the so-called trilateral North American “integration” process marches onward toward an ever-closer union between the governments of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, national law enforcement agents are slowly creeping across borders through a variety of shadowy schemes. Going forward, that trend is set to accelerate, according to officials, who say government functionaries may soon be able to chase and arrest suspects outside of their own nations. But critics of the controversial plan are fighting back with increasing urgency.
U.S. and Canadian authorities have already spent millions of dollars on “pilot projects” seeking to blur national borders in the field of policing. Almost 150 so-called “cross-border” officers have been trained so far, according to a report published this month by Embassymagazine. Meanwhile, the Shiprider program — officially known as “Integrated Cross-border Maritime Law Enforcement Operations” — has been active since 2009, when high-ranking bureaucrats from the United States and Canada signed the agreement without even obtaining legislative approval.

“Shiprider removes the international maritime boundary as a barrier to law enforcement by enabling seamless continuity of enforcement and security operations across the border, facilitating cross-border surveillance and interdiction, and serving as both a force multiplier and, potentially, as a model for other U.S./Canadian cross-border (integrated) enforcement and security initiatives,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) says about the scheme on its website. 

Under the highly controversial but little-known program, boats staffed by law-enforcement agents from both governments can scurry back and forth as if there was no border between the two nations. And in March, top Obama administration officials met with their Canadian counterparts to super-charge the unconstitutional process by signing even more “agreements” — again without consulting Congress, let alone ratifying a treaty.

“We will continue to work with Canada to further enhance information sharing and integrate our cross-border law enforcement operations, strengthening the national and economic security of both our nations,” claimed Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after signing a deal to advance the process with Canadian officials. Her counterparts across the border issued similar statements following the meeting.  

Disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder — currently being threatened with contempt of Congress charges for covering up and lying about the administration’s deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-trafficking scandal — also touted “integrated law enforcement” as a “key pillar” of what critics consider to be a subversive scheme. In a press release posted by the Canadian government following an agreement, the scandal-plagued Justice Department boss said he was “grateful” to his counterparts in Canada for their work to “strengthen the critical ties that bind our nations together.” 

The Defense chiefs from the governments of Mexico, Canada, and the United States also met earlier this year and signed their own dealsto integrate the three militaries and discuss ways to expand the use of the armed forces in continental law-enforcement operations. “We know that transnational threats require transnational responses,” the three claimed in a joint statement. “With this in mind, we have agreed to enhance our cooperation to support efforts to counter transnational criminal organizations and to respond to natural disasters in the hemisphere.”  

But those latest agreements, while significant, were just small pieces of Obama’s momentous and almost certainly unconstitutional “Beyond the Border” plot with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, signed early last year with almost no mention by the establishment press. And that scheme merely builds upon a process that has been ongoing for many years. But in the realm of law enforcement, the “integration process” is moving forward quickly, and critics — though not the mainstream media — are paying attention. 

While even the Canadian government acknowledged that the early phases of the cross-border policing plot have stirred significant controversy — particularly among activists concerned about national sovereignty and civil liberties — at least two top law enforcement officials promised to continue marching onward with the broader plan. However, it will be accomplished in “baby steps” to get people acclimated to the idea, they said.   

When questioned in Canadian Parliamentary hearings about a proposed law legalizing and expanding cross-border police integration in North America, senior RCMP officials promised to take it slowly. But if anti-national sovereignty zealots get their way, American FBI and DEA agents may soon have permission to arrest Canadians in Canada, while RCMP officials would purportedly acquire the power to arrest U.S. citizens on American soil. U.S. officials might even be able to conduct aerial surveillance over Canada, according to reports.

“We recognized early that this approach would raise concerns about sovereignty, of privacy, and civil liberties of Canadians,” RCMP Chief Superintendent Joe Oliver told the Canadian Senate Committee on National Security and Defense earlier this month. “We said ‘Let’s take baby steps, let’s start with two agencies to test the concept, let’s demonstrate to Canadians and Americans that such an approach might work.”

Apparently “baby steps” was not Oliver’s own phrase, as RCMP deputy commissioner for federal policing Mike Cabana used it during the same hearing as well. “First of all, the discussion started with respect to marine environments. And secondly, baby steps,” he toldlawmakers, referring to schemes aimed at abolishing the border for law enforcement purposes. According to Cabana, the marine plot “was seen as probably the most logical place to start to explore the possibilities.”

Prominent critics, however, are sounding the alarm — especially in light of the latest developments. “Ok, this is truly absurd. DEA, FBI, NCIS [Naval Criminal Investigative Service] agents authorized to arrest Canadians in Canada?” wrote attorney and media commentator James Morton, former president of the Ontario Bar Association. “I'd say it's a bad parody by extremist Canadian nationalists ... except it's real legislation in Parliament right now.”

While the scheme to erect a “North American Union” was at one time dismissed by members of the establishment as a “conspiracy theory,” those supposed “analysts” and “experts” have now been completely discredited. It is neither a conspiracy — it is mostly out in the open for those who care to look — nor a theory, at this point at least. It is happening. 


A U.S. embassy cable released by WikiLeaks last year confirmed conclusively what had long been suspected: Extremist anti-national sovereignty elements within all three governments have been collaborating, largely in the shadows, to create a supranational regime along the lines of the unpopular entity now ruling over Europe. Now it just happens to be more obvious as it proceeds in public. 


If proponents of “integration” get their way — which at this point remains uncertain, as opposition continues to grow and lawmakers have never consented to anything of the sort — “North America” will be ruled by a new system. Some of the most radical proposals being pursued by advocates include a continental “Parliament” to legislate, an expansion of the North American court system originally developed under NAFTA, and even a new transnational currency.  


Shadowy bureaucrats and top officials are working fiendishly behind the scenes and in the open to bring the highly controversial schemes to fruition. Supporters of national sovereignty, the U.S. and Canadian constitutions, and individual liberty, on the other hand, are working hard to stop it, with opponents of “integration” saying the plot is illegitimate on its face — and could even be considered treasonous. But as the plan to virtually abolish national sovereignty moves forward and the public begins to understand its implications in the coming months and years, the battle is likely to intensify.  

ATF to accept public comments prior to outlawing shotguns

http://www.greeleygazette.com/press/?p=9223


by Jack Minor

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is taking a rare step of allowing public comments prior to issuing a decision on a study that could result in outlawing certain types of shotguns currently available to citizens.

 The ATF completed a study regarding the importability of certain shotguns. The basis for a possible ban is based on a loosely defined “Sporting Purpose” test. Using the vague definition almost all pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns could be banned as they are all capable of accepting a magazine, box or tube capable of holding more than 5 rounds. Other characteristics determined to be “military” by the ATF can also be used as a basis for a ban.

 Ironically, many shotguns with “military” features are currently being used in shooting competitions held by the USPSA, IDPA and IPSC. The rules could also result in obscure regulations where an individual would be unsure if he is violating them or not.

 Dudley Brown, Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said if the ATF succeeds with the banning of tactical shotguns it “will be the most dangerous interpretation of the 1968 Gun Control Act ever envisioned and will outlaw thousands of perfectly legitimate home defense shotguns.”

 The ATF is currently allowing public comments on the study until the end of the month. Those wishing to express concerns about the study can send an email to shotgunstudy@atf.gov

I Stand Today
by Debby Reagan


I stand today, humbled and tall,
to honor and salute those who sacrificed all.
They proudly answered their country's call
and on the battlefield they did fall.

They didn't question, only did right.
They left their families to join the fight.
Bravely facing the unknown day and night,
with only one goal within their sight.

Their duty and sacrifice given so bravely,
to help keep our country and people free.
They were willing to give so completely
that they even died for you and me.

So I stand today, humbled and tall,
to honor and salute those who sacrificed all.
So that they who answered their country's call,
will see more than just their name written on a wall.

Double Standards for State Corruption

Ok... I am now moved to tell my story after reading this article in the Bangor Daily News about the former republican treasurer, Phil Roy using taxpayers money to buy a RV. But first, Roy's story. "Roy is a former Somerset County commissioner and chairman of the Fairfield Town Council. He was also a member of the Maine Board of Corrections working group, the Kennebec Regional Development Authority and the Kennebec Valley Council of Governments". He  is "a longtime Republican politician from Somerset County and managed a federally funded agency’s checking account as well as the checking account of the state Republican Party, for which he was treasurer" says the BDN.
What happened? The BDN wrote that "Roy wanted a camper that cost $15,000, didn't have the money so he used a GOP credit card to transfer $15,000 into the party’s checking account. He then transferred $14,600 from the Maine Republican Party’s operating checking account to an account in New York to pay for and complete the purchase of a camper. Then $15,000 from the the Central/Western Maine Workforce Investment Board’s checking account 'went from the checking account to an account that Mr. Roy was personally authorized on at Savings Bank of Maine. The funds were then wired out of that account to pay for items of Mr. Roy’s personal use.' "Roy used that money to reimburse the Republican Party for the $14,600 he used to buy the camper". 
What was done about this? "What state officials have called the “misuse” of federal funds was kept quiet until now. Roy was allowed to resign from his job as fiscal agent at the federally funded agency, the Central/Western Maine Workforce Investment Board, and as treasurer of the Maine Republican Party without public acknowledgement that he had used both groups’ checking accounts for personal purposes. And now he has authority over the $7 million dollar budget for Hancock County, where he serves as chief financial officer" says the BDN.
In other words, absolutely nothing was done. But yet, here is my story.
I ran for State Rep in 2006 against John Tuttle here in Sanford. Was my very first time running for office and wasn't knowledgeable about the rules of campaign funds. I ran under the Clean Election Funds for funding my campaign. The State (Jonathan Wayne of the Ethics Committee)  put these funds into my PERSONAL checking account and said, " the money is for your campaign and expenses". So, I used them for that. When it was for my campaign, I had receipts. When it was for my expenses, I wrote a personal check to keep track. I took care of reporting my campaign spending, but was waiting for a request of a report for my personal spending. It never came, until after the election in the form of a letter saying that I had to return all unspent funds back to the state. Well, there were no unspent funds. When I called them because they said that there were because of the difference between what I got and my filed campaign expenses reports, I told them that no one had asked for my personal expenses. Well, that's when I found out that NONE of the funds were supposed to have gone to personal expenses. *BIG SIGH*
So, I made a schedule to repay it back. 
Now, during this whole time, I had started a relationship with a man from Canada. I had been going back and forth, and towards the end, was spending most of my time north. I did fail in reading materials sent to me by the state, and probably could have found out about  the expenses guidelines had I read them. But, I put my personal, budding relationship ahead of my campaign and didn't read the materials. I'm not excusing myself, just explaining what was going on in my life.  I missed 3 payments, one because I just forgot and the other two because in checking my account online, I accidently cancelled them. When I was informed about it, I started double payments to make it up. But, Jonathan Wayne decided that I was to be "made an example of" and turned the matter over to the AG office for prosecution. By the time the matter was brought to court, I had paid about half of it back. During this whole time, I was in phone contact with the AG and they knew that I had made an honest mistake and was trying to rectify the matter. 
But 3 months after the civil case in which I hadn't contested, the AG office decided to bring criminal charges against me. I had to hire a lawyer and even he was perplexed as to why the AG office was going full speed ahead when it was clearly not a matter that fit a "criminal" status. But, he was told that there was "someone" who was very discouraged about what had happened and that the AAG had to answer to them and they wanted me to do jail time. All over an amount of $5,300.00 which, by my court date had been paid back in full. I had stood up, explained what had happened, that I had made an honest mistake, paid it back but was made out to be "an example". It did no good to do so as we can clearly see that since then, MANY dishonest people running for office or workers of the state have done far worse and lied about it. As clearly, this story of Phil Roy shows.

So, what is this truly about? Clearly, there is a double standard here. Because a woman working under Roy had stolen $50,000. and got 6 months in jail. But Roy gets nothing? But SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE Rep. Robert Nutting who has stolen $3.6 million gets nothing? Nutting and Roy seem to not only get away with INTENTIONAL theft, but also get rewarded as well with silence of their misdeeds (so the public either hardly knows or don't know at all) and good paying high level jobs! I guess it all depends on not only who you know, or blow but also if you are willing to play the corrupt political game with those in positions of power. I was not one of those. I made an honest mistake, stood up and owned it and made restitution unlike Nutting or Roy (which BOTH involved FEDERAL funds, where mine was only state funds which got paid back) and got 30 days in jail and my reputation destroyed for doing so. But there's no room for such an honest person within the corrupt realm of government and those who dare to be honest, pay the costs while the real criminals get rewarded! That is Maine politics for ya.

A RARE News Media Moment Of Truth!

The Security Instrument

The most common statement heard!
“The collateral follows the note.”
"The collateral follows the obligation. See UCC Section 9-308(d).”
This is correct... section 9-308(d) does state a security instrument follows the note.

§ 9-308. WHEN SECURITY INTEREST OR AGRICULTURAL LIEN IS
PERFECTED; CONTINUITY OF PERFECTION
(d) [Supporting obligation.]
Perfection of a security interest in collateral also perfects a security interest in a supporting obligation for
the collateral.


BUT
what is missed is this:

§ 9-104. Transactions Excluded From Article
This Article does not apply
• (j) except to the extent that provision is made for fixtures in Section 9-313,
to the creation or transfer of an interest in or lien on real estate, including a
lease or rents thereunder; 
As amended in 1972


In OTHER WORDS... when it comes to perfecting the note, it doesn't follow that it perfects the deed/security instrument. So, even though your bank can prove the note legitimate, that doesn't also immediately perfect the mortgage. As we have seen in most cases of mortgages securitized in trust funds, there are many questionable practices to include robo-signing, fake notary signatures, back dating, re-creation or actual fabrication of lost documents, just to mention a few.
So, don't be scared if your bank does happen to find the original note and proves it legitimacy. All it proves is that they have possession of the note you signed. Doesn't mean it legitimizes the mortgage deed nor that they have the right to foreclose! DO YOUR HOMEWORK folks. There is absolutely NOTHING more pressing for your time and investigation than to properly defend your ownership of your home!

How To Fix the US Economy & Debt Problems

"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
If the American People ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them (the US and State Governments are  corporations - comment added by me) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
                                                                                                 - Thomas Jefferson


History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent needs possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.
                                                                                                 - James Madison

The rich will strive to establish their dominion and enslave the rest. They always did. They always will... they will have the same effect here as elsewhere, if we do not, by [the power of] government, keep them in their proper spheres.
                                                                                                 - Gouverneur Morris


(Comment about the early renewal bill of the the 2nd US Bank in 1832 passed by Congress and waiting for his signature)
It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners... Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country?.... Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence... would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy. If [government] would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does it rains, shower its favor alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles.
                                                                                                  - Andrew Jackson


(Comment on the true reason for the US Civil War)
The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained as one block, and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world.
                                                                                                 - Chancellor Otto van Bismark


The government (not banks - comment added by me) should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. The privilege of of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles... the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
                                                                                                 - Abraham Lincoln


IT IS QUITE CLEAR ON HOW WE CAN SOLVE OUR ECONOMIC AND NATIONAL DEBT PROBLEMS. KILL THE FEDERAL RESERVE. HAVE OUR GOVERNMENT REGAIN CONTROL OF CREATING AND ISSUING MONEY. PUT THE PRIVATE BANKERS OUT OF BUSINESS AND TAKE BACK OUR MONETARY SYSTEM AND BECOME MASTERS ONCE AGAIN. UNTIL WE DO THIS, WE WILL REMAIN SLAVES TO THE PRIVATE BANKERS AND BE  TOTALLY AT THEIR MERCY, OF WHICH THEY HAVE NONE.
