***BEGIN UPDATE, AUG. 24, 2013>
MORE THAN 1 IN 5 AMERICANS WERE "ECONOMICALLY INSECURE" IN 2011.
[SEE http://money.cnn.com/2011/11/28/news/economy/americans_insecurity/index.htm?iid=EL]
"This economy has pushed millions of Americans to the absolute edge of despair."
"In this economy, no jobs is secure.  In this economy, no business is secure.  There is no guarantee that the income that you are enjoying today is going to be there tomorrow.
The U.S. economic system is slowly dying.  There are many that are cheering this downfall, but the cold, hard truth is that tens of millions of us are going to experience horrible economic pain as the economy unravels."
13.9 million Americans remained unemployed at the end of 2011, 42% of whom had been out of work for 27 weeks or longer.
"108,500 Deaths in the US in 2008 were attributed to lack of adequate heat.
For every degree the temperature drops below 18C/64F, deaths go up by nearly 1.5%.”

Why Do We Hate the Poor?

<<Our "War on Poverty" has become a war on the poor.
No, really, we can't stand poor people.
We pass by them on downtown street corners as if they weren't really there. We price them out of our "new" neighborhoods--also known as their "old" neighborhoods--with little remorse. We don't drive or ride public transportation through poor parts of town. We shun stores when too many poor folks start shopping there. In other words, we don't want to talk with them, live with them, travel with them or even shop with them.
Poor people aren't poor simply because they don't try hard enough. Single moms raising a family on a minimum wage-income may be the hardest-working people in America--but no one ever talks about them that way.
And middle-class folks aren't struggling right now just because the economy tanked. If the poor can be held accountable for their economic situation, so should the middle class. And if America is a better place with a strong middle class, it would be an even better place if the poor were able to join the ranks of the middle class.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 38 million Americans living in poverty in 2007. If America's poor all lived in one state, that poor state would be the nation's largest. California's estimated population in 2007 was about 36.6 million. I can't imagine a presidential campaign that didn't make a stop in California. So why has this campaign never visited Skid Row? If we can talk about helping the middle-class in these tough economic times, why can't we talk about helping the poor?
Skills, circumstances and opportunities are often the difference between the poor, the working class and the middle class--not desire and effort.
Just 65 percent of impoverished adults at least 25 years old had high school diplomas in 2007; compared to 87 percent of their counterparts above the poverty line.

I don't think it's the poor who've given up on making a better life for themselves. I think it's that the rest of us have given up on the poor.>>

Why do Americans hate the poor so much?

<<"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor,
either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or
we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve
the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to
do it."--- Stephen Colbert

Great quote. Any time the government talks about cutting costs, the poor are the first to be targeted. Any time there is talk of wealth disparity and of the suffering of the poor, we are inundated with accusations of trying to impose socialism, and giving something to somebody who hasn't earned it--as though sharing were a sin, and the foulest activity a human being could participate in. Attached is an excerpt of an article describing that the US ranks next to last in giving foreign aid, compared to the other wealthiest nations on earth. Why are we so miserly?>>

The Poor Will Always Be With Us
http://fair.org/extra-online-articles/the-poor-will-always-be-with-us-just-not-on-the-tv-news/
37 million Americans, one in eight, lived below the federal poverty line in 2005, defined as an annual income of $19,971 for a family of four. Yet poverty touches a far greater share of the population over the course of their lives: A 1997 study by University of Michigan economist Rebecca Blank found that one-third of all U.S. residents will experience government-defined poverty within a 13-year period. The poorest age group is children, with more than one in six living in official poverty at any given time.
The poverty line itself, which hasn’t been changed in almost four decades except to account for inflation, has been widely criticized as an antiquated measure of actual levels of need. Mark Greenberg, director of the Task Force on Poverty at the Center for American Progress, wrote in the American Prospect in April 2007:
"Studies of a minimally decent standard of living routinely find that the typical cost is twice as high as the poverty line or higher. Ninety million Americans—nearly one-third of the nation—have household incomes below twice the poverty line, a figure far larger than the official number of 37 million in poverty."
ONE THIRD OF THE NATION IS SUFFERING FROM OR IS ON THE BRINK OF POVERTY!
WITH THE ECONOMY LIKE IT IS, THAT NUMBER HAS SURELY GROWN IN THE PAST 6 YEARS!
"Waging a Living", a documentary about the working poor aired on PBS’s POV series (8/29/06) MIGHT explain the reality of the impoverished but who has watched that, and who would???
Driving home poverty’s low rank as a news priority is the fact that fewer nightly news segments were dedicated to it than to millionaire pop star Michael Jackson. During a study period that saw 58 stories about poverty, the three network programs dedicated 69 stories to Jackson’s legal woes. Of the three networks, only NBC aired more stories on poverty than on Michael Jackson (25 to 24). Moreover, in 2005, the year that saw the Katrina disaster and the culmination of Jackson’s rather less consequential trial, the networks deemed the pop star’s legal problems twice as newsworthy as the economic plight of tens of millions of poor citizens, running 44 stories on Michael Jackson to 22 for poverty.
In a handful of stories—primarily on CBS—poverty issues were discussed solely by experts, with no poor people appearing on-screen at all. A CBS story (2/7/05) on George W. Bush’s proposed budget cuts to both farm aid and block grants to fight hunger and homelessness quoted solely elected officials, think tankers and executives of food banks. Another CBS story on problems with the new Medicare prescription drug plan (1/16/06) cited only the Republican governor of Minnesota (who was concerned) and U.S. Health and Human Services secretary Michael Leavitt (who wasn’t).

DO WE CARE THAT PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, MOSTLY CHILDREN, ARE DESPERATELY HUNGRY IN AMERICA?
CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING HUNGRY AND HALF A NATION HATING YOU FOR BEING HUNGRY?
In late 2005, both CBS (11/24/05) and NBC (12/26/05) ran stories on food banks running short of donations, without explaining or asking why. (CBS, interestingly, had run a nearly identical story on falling food donations two years earlier—11/27/03—something it never noted in its 2005 story.) Network producers apparently had no interest in going even as deep as USA Today, which in an earlier report (11/21/05) had quoted Food Bank for New York City spokesperson Lisa Jakobsberg as saying, “It’s pretty much a direct result of Katrina”—which had drawn off private resources in part to
compensate for the lousy government relief effort.
A CBS report (10/30/06) quoted an unidentified man saying of MILITARY FAMILIES, “It’s a shame that many of them, many of them are on food stamps. And yet they’re fighting for their country.” To which Katie Couric added: “Most Americans would be so ashamed to know that.”

REALLY? ASHAMED? THEN WHO IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
NO ONE, THAT'S WHO!
NO ONE SINCE THE NEED AMONG MILITARY FAMILIES HAS RISEN STEADILY SINCE ABOUT 1988???
THAT'S RIGHT, NO ONE HAS DONE ONE SINGLE THING TO CHANGE THE RISE, TO HELP OUR TROOPS' FAMILIES.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A CHILD WITHOUT HEAT IN A -12 DEGREE WINTER?
THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 MILLION KIDS THAT WE KNOW ARE FACING THAT AGAIN THIS WINTER, KIDS WHOSE PARENTS APPLIED FOR HEAT ASSISTANCE...AND ESTIMATES ARE THAT 1 OUT OF 2 KIDS WILL FACE FOOD AND HEAT INSECURITY IN THEIR CHILDHOOD YEARS IN THIS CURRENT ECONOMY.
In a three-minute report on high heating oil prices (2/2/06), CBS found time to include this [STUPID] interchange between reporter Lee Cowan and elderly St. Paul resident Josephine Ruiz: “It’s pretty chilly, isn’t it?” “Yes, it is.” While the story noted that “Congress didn’t appropriate a penny more than last year” for low-income heating subsidies, it didn’t find time to discuss who in Congress was to blame for this, or why the subsidies hadn’t been increased.
(NBC, 10/12/05, 12/8/05; CBS, 2/2/06) on how high heating oil prices were “forcing families who never thought they’d have to do it to look to the government for help”.
Lousy coverage, AND NOTHING CAME OF IT, NOTHING AT ALL.
THE POOR DESERVE TO BE COLD, RIGHT?
AND HUNGRY...
AND HOMELESS.
IN 2010, IT WAS ESTIMATED (BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER APPLYING FOR HEATING HELP, AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY DIDN'T APPLY) THAT OVER 10 MILLION HOMES, HOMES, NOT PEOPLE, HAD NO HEAT THAT WINTER. NO HEAT.
November 8th, 2010
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/will-you-be-able-to-heat-your-home-this-winter-millions-of-american-familes-will-not
Will you have a warm house to come home to this winter?  If so, you should consider yourself to be very fortunate. With the United States experiencing the highest levels of long-term unemployment that it has seen since the Great Depression, millions of Americans families are simply out of money.  All across America this winter, families are going to be forced to make some heart breaking decisions.  For many, the choice will come down to either heating their home or putting food on the table.
Of course there is federal help available, but it doesn't go nearly far enough for those who are truly in need.  For example, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assists low income households in paying their home heating bills.  However, the truth is that usually only a small fraction of heating costs are covered.  Nationally, the average benefit represents only about 8% of the average winter heating bill.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR HEAT FOR THOSE TERRIBLE, LAZY, DISGUSTING POOR FOLK, SURPRISE!!!
NOBODY PAYS FOR THAT!
THEY CAN GET UP TO 8% "HELP" WITH HEATING COSTS, THAT'S IT!
MOST WHO APPLY ARE NOT "QUALIFIED" FOR ASSISTANCE...THEY MAY MAKE $12 TOO MUCH MONEY AS DOES ONE LOCAL FAMILY I KNOW....$12 TOO MUCH?
SEE THE PROBLEM YET?

The price of heating the average home with oil  jumped 10% in 2011 to an average of $2,535 over the winter heating season (October 1 through March 31), according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). That's 45% higher than just two years ago, when the average bill was just $1,752.
The average homeowner paid about $732 to heat their home with NATURAL ABOUT $8 BILLION gas in 2011, up about 3%.
Cost of heating with propane as much of rural America does: $2,386.
Nationally, about a third of US homes rely on electricity as their primary heating source.
Cost to heat a small home with electricity: $1,315 for 5 months.
 [See government stats for yourselves, doubters, if you can work your way to them on your own.]
BOTTOM LINE...FOR LESS MONEY, IN FACT, FOR 1/3rd OF WHAT THE U.S. SPENT ON BUYING DRONES, 10 MILLION HOMES COULD BE HEATED ALL WINTER WITH NATURAL GAS...10 MILLION TIMES ABOUT $800 PER HOME...DO THE MATH. $8 BILLION WOULD HEAT ALL THOSE COLD HOMES.
 [WE SPENT,FOR 7,000 DRONES IN 2012, $26 BILLION, PLUS $5 BILLION FOR RESEARCH, PLUS AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT DUE TO 'NATIONAL SECURITY'. AND OUR CONGRESS HAS APPROPRIATED ANOTHER $33 TO $40 BILLION INTO 2020 FOR MORE DRONES! AND IT COST FROM $2,500-3,500 per flight hour for smaller drones to as much as $30,000 per flight hour for the big ones.MULTIPLY THAT TIMES 7,000, ANY WAY YOU LIKE.] [SOURCES:http://fcnl.org/issues/foreign_policy/understanding_drones/  AND http://afpakwar.com/blog/archives/7153 ]

For many cash-strapped Americans, the increase in fuel costs is coming at the same time when funding for the government's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, which subsidized energy bills for 9 million households last year, may get slashed almost in half.
In mid-November, 2011, Obama signed a budget bill FROM CONGRESS authorizing a 47% cut in LIHEAP's funding to $2.5 billion, according to a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which administers the program.

THE MAJOR/MAINSTREAM NEWS NETWORKS KNOW THAT STORIES ON POVERTY DON'T SELL PRODUCTS, SO THEY DO VERY FEW, ,THEN NEVER FOLLOW UP.
 An NBC segment (3/25/05) that mentioned high poverty as a cause of suicides among Native Americans noted “the problems must be taken seriously”—yet NBC never revisited the issue of Native American poverty.
Likewise, an ABC segment (1/30/04) on the Democratic presidential race focused on “an issue you will hear much more about this year: poverty”—but not on ABC, which ran only two other poverty stories in ALL of 2004.
SURE, JUST IGNORE IT, IT'LL GO AWAY...AMERICANS ONLY THINK ABOUT THE POOR WHEN TOLD TO, SO THEY AREN'T TOLD TO.
OR WHEN CONGRESS WANTS TO MAKE CUTS AND THE POOR GET ALL THE CUTS...WHILE THE SAME CONGRESS OKAYED OVER $9 TRILLION IN BAILOUTS FOR THEIR BANKER BUDDIES AND WALL STREET PALS...YAAAY TEAM??????

One nation, underfed. That’s the tagline for the new film out by Participant Productions, entitled "A Place at the Table", which looks at America’s growing hunger epidemic.

<END 08/24/2013 UPDATE>

THE SAME ARTICLE I REFERENCED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST SUGGESTED THAT CONGRESS IS TRYING TO TURN THIS INTO A "SECOND MEXICO"...
WELL, THE PILGRIMS TURNED IT INTO A SECOND EUROPE, RIGHT?
AND, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, 'MEXICO' ONCE EXTENDED FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, AND ALL THE WAY TO THE OREGON BORDER!
'MEXICANS' HUNTED ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA BEFORE THOSE BOATS STARTED ARRIVING WITH 'ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS' FROM BRITAIN, FRANCE, SPAIN, ETC.
THEY WERE CALLED BY THEIR TRIBAL NAMES BACK THEN...SEVERAL HUNDRED TRIBAL NAMES....NOT 'MEXICANS'...JUST AS THERE NEVER WAS AN 'AMERICAN' OR 'AMERICAN INDIAN' HERE UNTIL AFTER 1776 OR SO!

AND WHERE DID THE MINDSET AGAINST THE POOR AND DISABLED COME FROM?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A 'BREEDING BOOK' OF THE OLD 1600s-1800s SLAVE OWNERS? THEY BRED ONLY THE FINEST, THE ONES WITHOUT BLEMISH, THE STRONG.
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED DEEPLY INTO THE ORIGINAL MINDSET OF THE 'FOUNDERS' AND THEIR PROGENY TODAY?
FROM CONGRESS TO THE GUY NEXT DOOR, AMERICA IS THROWING OUT THAT "MELTING POT OF NATIONS" AS FAST AS THEY CAN, AND REPLACING IT WITH "THE RIGHT KIND".
TOO MANY DON'T SEEM TO BE THE "RIGHT KIND" HERE.
BLACKS, 'AMERICAN INDIANS', EVEN THE IRISH, ITALIANS, JEWS AND ALL ASIANS WERE VERY MUCH LOOKED DOWN ON AS 'SUBHUMANS' HERE IN AMERICA FOR MANY YEARS, AND SOME STILL HOLD THAT THOUGHT TODAY!

"THOU MUST BE WHITE" WAS THE LAW OF THE LAND REGARDING OWNING PROPERTY, HOLDING OFFICE, TRAVELING UNRESTRICTED, ETC, FOR TOO LONG HERE IN AMERICA.
"OTHERS", i.e. OTHER RACES, WERE JUST NOT FIT TO RULE.
EVEN WOMEN WERE MORE OR LESS TREATED AS CHATTEL FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND HAD TO FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION AS CITIZENS CAPABLE OF VOTING.
THE RISE IN RACIAL PROFILING, AND THE COURTS AND LEGAL SYSTEM IGNORING THAT, PRETENDING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, IS PROOF ENOUGH THAT SOMETHING MAJOR HAS CHANGED OVER HERE IN AMERICA!

AFTER FDR, TRUMAN, et al, INTRODUCED THE 'WELFARE SYSTEM' TO FURTHER SUBJUGATE CERTAIN AMERICANS, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE IN THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO STILL CONSIDERED THEMSELVES AS HOLDING THE DISTINCTION, THE HONOR OF COMING FROM THOSE STELLAR 'FOUNDING FATHERS', AND THE AXES WERE SHARPENED TO CUT OFF THE 'LOW CLASS' CITIZENS, TO MAKE SURE THEY KNEW THEIR "PROPER PLACE', TO MAKE THEM "STAY WHERE THEY BELONG".
WAR AGAINST THE "UNACCEPTABLE" ENSUED AND RAGES TO THIS DAY!
ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU RACISM IS DEAD IN AMERICA IS A LIAR!

FACTS SHOULD EDUCATE THE IGNORANT, BUT THEY DON'T.
YOU CAN NEVER EDUCATE A PERSON WHO WANTS TO BELIEVE A LIE.
YOU CAN NEVER INFORM THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO BE UNINFORMED/IGNORANT.

Fact: Most Americans receiving public benefits paid for them!
DO AMERICAN CITIZENS UNDERSTAND THE WORD, "FACT"?
Not if your political parties and mainstream media can prevent facts from entering into things, you don't!
ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED HAS PAID INTO THE SYSTEM, THE 'ENTITLEMENTS'....ANYONE, EVERYONE GIVEN A PAYCHECK!

Americans who benefit from the nation’s major "social insurance programs", i.e. Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance, include MIDDLE-CLASS and low-income Americans WHO HAVE ALL PAID INTO THE 'PROGRAMS', HAVE PAID IN ALL THEIR WORKING LIVES!
LOOK ON PAYCHECK STUBS!
SEE THOSE 'DEDUCTIONS'?
THAT MEANS YOU ARE PAYING INTO THESE THINGS!
WE ALL PAY INTO "ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS" AND WE ALSO PAY INCOME TAX, MANY PAY STATE TAXES, SALES TAXES, THE LIST IS LONG!
WE ARE ALL PAYING INTO THE SYSTEM, OR HAVE, AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CONTINUOUSLY ROBBING US, AND ROBBING THE VERY "PROGRAMS" WE ALL PAY INTO!

Like private life, health, or property insurance, everyone makes regular contributions with the expectation that, when a certain event occurs (in the case of public benefits, that event could be retirement, disability, or temporary job loss), they will be protected and able to collect benefits THEY HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR! This was what we were all promised when Mr. Socialist, FDR, instituted these "programs"!
We pay in so we can take out, right? FDR and the gang swore it was "just like having a savings account for the future". People fell for that.
What it really was was a way for the government to tax, to deduct from incomes, to STEAL money from American workers so they could use that money to shore-up a failing system! How many times have they been caught robbing Social Security, "borrowing" from Medicare, misusing money that our military veterans should have available?

IT WAS DEVISED AS A SCAM AND IT WORKED!

FACT: Currently, payments INTO social insurance programs represent an estimated 37 percent (or $807 billion) of ALL federal receipts as of 2011, compared to 17 percent (or $124 billion) in 1961 and 31 percent (or $455 billion) in 1981, including federal employees’ payments into their retirement accounts.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY MISUNDERSTAND THAT...37% OF AMERICA'S INCOME, INCOME, INCOME IS OBTAINED FROM PEOPLE PAYING INTO THE "ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS"!
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS ARE HUGE MONEY-MAKERS, BUT THE FEDS MISUSE THE FUNDS!
WE PAY MORE INTO THESE PROGRAMS NOW THAN EVER BEFORE! THERE SHOULD BE MONEY THERE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT! THERE ISN'T!
THE FEDS SPENT IT!

When we hear about how so many Americans are living off the government, this MYTH, this LIE is often used to perpetuate a stereotype of "poor, LAZY adults unwilling to work". THAT'S BULL!
In fact, it reflects the many MILLIONS of Americans who have paid INTO programs such as Social Security and Medicare since the things began and who, after paying in and paying in, no longer work due to age and/or disability.
THEY DESERVE A RETURN ON THEIR LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS!
THEY SURE AREN'T LAZY!

Fact: Most public benefits targeting low-income Americans are not paid in cash!

Only about 10 percent of all federal dollars devoted to public benefits programs for low-income Americans are paid in cash. And of that 10 percent, more than two out of every three dollars are for Social Security disability benefits for individuals who have demonstrated to the government that they have a disability that interferes with their ability to work.
The remaining cash payments go to needy Americans under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
YES, TEMPORARY, WITH MOST PEOPLE GETTING OFF THOSE PROGRAMS WITHIN 2 YEARS, JUST 2 YEARS!
Participation in this program is low due to changes made in the 1990s that promoted work and created a five-year lifetime limit on participation.
A 5-YEAR LIMIT, NOT A LIFETIME!

ALMOST HALF WHO BENEFIT FROM THIS ALSO WORK, THEY DO WORK JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! THEY HAVE TO!
WHO ARE THE HALF WHO DO NOT WORK?
THE OTHER HALF ARE KIDS, CHILDREN, WHOM WE DON'T FORCE TO WORK ANYMORE, THOUGH NEWT GINGRICH THOUGHT THEY SHOULD!
REPEAT: HALF, THE HALF WHO DON'T WORK, ARE CHILDREN!
UNDERSTAND?
AND most other forms of targeted, non-cash benefits programs such as low-income housing and energy assistance as well as higher education assistance are not entitlements.
REPEAT: THOSE ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS!
Their funding, decided on a yearly basis, tends to help only a small portion of those who qualify. "qualifying" is something very few do!
FACT: Among those Americans receiving food assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, 36 percent of these households have an elderly or disabled person in them.
DID YOU KNOW MANY IN THE MILITARY NEED FOOD STAMPS?

WHAT DO YOU WANT...FOR OUR TROOPS TO GO DIE FOR YOU, BUT LET'S NOT FEED THEIR CHILDREN?
When it comes to Medicaid, in 2008, 65 percent, 65%,  of payments were for those 65 and over, blind, or disabled.
65%!
Most of the remainder were, again, CHILDREN.NOT LAZY PEOPLE, BUT ELDERLY/DISABLED PEOPLE!
NOT LAZY PEOPLE, BUT CHILDREN!
NOT THAT MYTHICAL "MEXICAN HORDE", BUT DISABLED AMERICANS, AMERICAN CITIZENS!
WHAT TO DO? KILL OFF ALL THE ELDERLY, ALL THE CHILDREN, ALL THE DISABLED, ALL THE WOUNDED AND SICK VETERANS?
THOSE ARE THE MAJORITY!
DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT THERE ARE LESS THAN 11 MILLION TOTAL, THAT'S TOTAL, 'UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS'/'ILLEGAL ALIENS' IN AMERICA AS OF APRIL, 2013?
THAT'S LESS THAN 4% OF OUR POPULATION!
THAT'S JUST A BIT MORE THAN THE POPULATION OF NEW YORK CITY...ONE CITY!
DID YOU KNOW THAT, OF THAT NUMBER, NOT ALL COME FROM 'SOUTH OF THE BORDER'?
DID YOU THINK THERE WERE MORE THAN 11 MILLION TOTAL 'ILLEGALS'?
WRONG!
AND THAT'S DOWN 2 MILLION FROM 2007!
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW FEW OF THOSE WOULD RISK DEPORTATION BY FILING FOR "BENEFITS", FOR "ENTITLEMENTS"?
WOULD YOU, IF YOU WERE HERE ILLEGALLY? THINK!
WELL, THE PROBLEM MUST BE ALL THOSE OLD PEOPLE...TOO MANY OLD PEOPLE USING THE SYSTEM.
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?
WRONG AGAIN!Persons 65 years or older number about  40 million or less than 13% of our entire population!
LESS THAN 13%!Recent Census data suggest that seniors aren’t living NEARLY as well as 'official poverty numbers' suggest due to out-of-pocket medical expenses and other factors.
DID YOU KNOW THAT NO 'GOVERNMENT PROGRAM' RECOGNIZES OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES FOR FOOD, MEDICINE, CLOTHING, DOCTOR VISITS, TRANSPORTATION,ETC, WHEN DETERMINING WHO CAN GET ALL THAT "HELP"?
THE ELDERLY HAVE CARS IN NEED OF REPAIR, PETS TO FEED, YARDS TO MAINTAIN, HOUSES TO KEEP UP....JUST LIKE YOU!

SHOULD WE JUST LET THEM DIE OFF, ALL THESE CHILDREN, ELDERLY, DISABLED AMERICANS?ALL THIS IS TOO EASY TO VERIFY FOR YOURSELVES, IF YOU EVER BOTHERED TO VERIFY ANYTHING, IF YOU EVER STOPPED ACCEPTING THE LIES OF YOUR SILLY LITTLE "POLITICAL PARTIES" AND USED YOUR OWN BRAIN FOR A CHANGE AND DID A LITTLE RESEARCH!
TRY IT! YOU'LL LIKE IT!
JUST CHECK THINGS OUT FOR ONCE, SEE IF YOU DON'T PREFER THAT TO BELIEVING YOUR JUDAS GOATS!
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED HOW INTELLIGENT YOU CAN BE ONCE YOU CUT THOSE STRINGS FROM YOUR PARTY'S STICKY FINGERS THAT MAKE YOU MINDLESS PUPPETS!

We COULD aggressively act to reduce poverty, which in turn would reduce the number of people in need of basic needs assistance. This would require a dramatic shift in priorities.
Over the past 30 years, spending on education, training, employment, and social services remained a consistently SMALL part of the overall federal budget, hovering around JUST 3%, YES, THREE PERCENT!
It's estimated that spending on these programs amounted to a little more than $120 billion.
We sent more than that to Egypt!
We spend WAY more than that on renting buildings for the federal government!
YOU'D THINK THE SCREAMERS WHO SCREAM ABOUT THE "WORTHLESS POOR", THE "EATERS", THE "TAKERS" WOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS...BUT NOOOO! THEY JUST WANT MORE WARS, LESS PEOPLE, LESS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEBT AND WANT THEIR STOCKS TO GO UP AND UP!

By way of comparison, defense spending is more than six times that amount, at an estimated $768 billion in THE SAME FISCAL YEAR, 2011.
AND THOSE STATS ARE NOT ENTIRELY FACTUAL! IT WAS MORE LIKE BETWEEN $1.4 AND $3 TRILLION ON 'DEFENSE', COUNTING THE DAMNABLE 'HOMELAND SECURITY' BS! WE WOULDN'T NEED 'DEFENSE SPENDING' INTO THE TRILLIONS EVERY YEAR IF WE STOPPED EMPIRE-BUILDING, AND BROUGHT OUR TROOPS HOME TO POLICE CONGRESS AND NOT THE WHOLE BLOODY WORLD!
WE'LL PAY BILLIONS TO BE MOLESTED AT AIRPORTS, WATCHED BY DRONES AND CAMERAS, BUT GAG ON EDUCATING PEOPLE SO THEY CAN BETTER THEMSELVES?
ONLY IN AMERICA!
THAT ENORMOUS, IMPOSSIBLE DEBT WAS NOT CREATED BY 'ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS" THAT ALL OF US AMERICANS PAY INTO OR HAVE PAID INTO ALL OUR WORKING LIVES!
BESIDES THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX, WE ALSO PAY INTO "PLANS" FOR OUR FUTURE! WE HAVE INVESTED IN THESE "ENTITLEMENTS", BY THUNDER! WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPECT A RETURN ON THOSE COSTLY INVESTMENTS!
THE GOVERNMENT CREATED SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, ETC, SO LET THEM HONOR THOSE PROGRAMS THEY SWORE WERE FOR OUR BENEFIT, OURS, NOT THEIRS!

THAT IS NOT WHAT IS BANKRUPTING AMERICA!
WALL STREET BAILOUTS, FOREIGN BANKS/NATIONS BAILOUTS, OUT OF CONTROL DEFENSE SPENDING, KEEPING TROOPS ABROAD IN OVER 150 NATIONS, FOREIGN AID, PORK BARREL SPENDING, THE SHEER COST OF SO MUCH, OF TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT IS THE REAL PROBLEM!

TO EVEN CONSIDER THAT PROGRAMS THAT ARE PAID INTO ARE THE PROBLEM AND MUST BE ELIMINATED IS LIKE CONSIDERING THAT WE SHOULD STOP A RIVER BECAUSE IT GIVES US WATER!

TO EVER BLAME THE ELDERLY, THE WORKERS, THE MIDDLE CLASS, OR THE LOWER CLASS FOR THE THEFT OF THESE 'PROGRAMS', THEIR UTTER MISMANAGEMENT, THIS LUNACY OF DEFICIT SPENDING, ISN'T JUST STUPID, IT'S INSANE!
YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO, AMERICA....AGAIN!
AND YOU BOUGHT IT, AGAIN!
AND INSTEAD OF HOLDING YOUR ELECTEDS ACCOUNTABLE, YOU CHOOSE TO HATE THE POOR, THE ELDERLY, THE DISABLED, THE VETERANS, THOSE "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" (BUT NOT YOUR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS!) AGAIN!

YOU'D JUST AS SOON BLAME ONE GROUP AS THE OTHER, ANY GROUP THAT ISN'T YOU, LIKE YOU, JUST LIKE YOU.

GULLIBLE SHEEP BEGET MORE GULLIBLE SHEEP.

U.S. DEBT IS CREATED BY OUR ROTTEN GOVERNMENT!
THAT IS WHAT'S BANKRUPTING AMERICA, DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT, POISONING ITS CITIZENS, ROBBING FROM ITS POOR, AND THAT GOVERNMENT HATES THE "LOWER CLASS" , ELDERLY, VETERANS AND THE DISABLED AS MUCH AS ITS CITIZENS APPARENTLY DO..
ALL THE ABOVE HAVE PAID INTO THE COFFERS, ALWAYS HAVE!
EVEN THOSE "ILLEGALS' PAY SALES TAX, CONTRIBUTE BILLIONS TO AMERICA'S ECONOMY EVERY YEAR!

INSTEAD OF FALLING FOR THE HYPE, OR SOME EMAIL YOUR UNEDUCATED, UNINFORMED BUDDY SENT YOU ABOUT THOSE NASTY OLD "ILLEGALS" AND "LAZY PEOPLE" , AND OLD PEOPLE BEING TO BLAME, WHY NOT GO TO THE SOURCE?
THAT WILL SHOW YOU WHO GETS WHAT AND WHY, IN YOUR GOVERNMENT'S OWN WORDS AND CHARTS!
WALL STREET AND THE PENTAGON, BANKERS AND FAT CATS GET A BIGGER CHUNK THAN THOSE WHO NEED IT....THAT'S HOW MANIFEST DESTINY WORKS!
ROB FROM THE POOR, GIVE TO THE RICH!
TAKE FROM THE "LOW CLASS BUMS" AND GIVE TO THE "HIGH CLASS" THIEVES AND LIARS, THE "GOOD OL' BOYS" WHO RUN THINGS AND WHO DICTATE TO YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD THINK AND BELIEVE.
WHAT A RACKET!
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE THE BLINDING LEAD THE BLIND!

Debt Will Reach Unsustainable Levels Over the Next Decade!
GO HAVE A LOOK AT THAT CHART!
http://www.heritage.org/multimedia/infographic/2012/10/federal-spending-by-the-numbers-2012/debt-will-reach-unsustainable-levels-over-the-next-decadeTHEN GO THANK CONGRESS FOR THAT, OR WALL STREET!
JUST DO STOP BLAMING THOSE "NOT LIKE YOU"...BLAME THOSE THAT ARE EXACTLY LIKE YOU!
BLAME THE BACKERS OF MANIFEST DESTINY AND "RACIAL SUPREMACY". BLAME THOSE WHO HATE THE POOR, ELDERLY, DISABLED, "OTHERS"...
BUT WAIT....THEN YOU'D HAVE TO BLAME....WHOM???

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF THE HOLOCAUST : BELIEVE YOUR OWN EYES

I RECENTLY READ THAT, IN MANY NATIONS, THE GROWING TREND IS TO DENY THERE WAS A NAZI HOLOCAUST. AMERICAN GENERAL DWIGHT EISENHOWER WAS AFRAID NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE THE CARNAGE, THE CRUELTY, THE CONDITIONS THAT EXISTED IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS, SO HE BEGAN TO FILM THEM, ONE-BY-ONE AS THE ALLIES CAME UPON THE SURVIVORS AND THE MASS GRAVES.
CONFISCATED FILM, PHOTOS, JOURNALS, ETC, FROM NAZI TROOPS, 'DOCTORS', AND EVEN LOCALS NEAR THE CAMPS ALL WERE ADDED TO THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE.
I MUST WONDER AT THE MINDSET OF ANY PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE WITH THEIR OWN EYES, READ THE JOURNALS WRITTEN IN THE VERY HANDS OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE TORTURE AND THE MURDER OF MILLIONS.
THERE WERE OVER 20,000 CAMPS TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHOM HITLER CONSIDERED 'UNFIT' AND MARKED FOR EXTERMINATION.
IT WAS NOT JUST JEWS WHO WERE TREATED TO THE NIGHTMARE OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS! I
INITIALLY, GERMAN PEOPLE, COMMUNIST GERMANS, WERE THE ONES SHIPPED TO THE CAMPS. HITLER DIDN'T LIKE GERMANS WHO WERE COMMUNISTS, YOU SEE, AN THIS INCLUDED GERMAN CITIZENS WHO WERE SOCIALISTS, 'SOCIAL DEMOCRATS', OR SEEN AS 'LIBERALS', ANYONE WHO OPPOSED HITLER.
IT WAS ALSO 'ROMA', AKA 'GYPSIES', WHO WERE ROUNDED UP.
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WERE TARGETED AND SENT TO CAMPS.
OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUPS GOT ONE-WAY TRAIN RIDES TO CAMPS.
HOMOSEXUALS, 'DEVIANTS', THE MENTALLY ILL, THOSE CONSIDERED 'RETARDED', OF NO USE TO SOCIETY, AND EVEN TWINS WERE MARKED FOR 'STUDY'.
JEWS WERE SURELY NOT ALONE IN THE CAMPS.

FILMED BY THE MILITARY, BY THE JOURNALISTS OF SEVERAL NATIONS WHO ACCOMPANIED THE ALLIES, THERE IS SO MUCH RAW FOOTAGE OF WHAT THEY FOUND, SO MUCH DOCUMENTATION OF THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS AS THE ALLIED TROOPS FIRST WENT INTO EACH CAMP, NO ONE CAN SIT AND WATCH IT ALL. REELS UPON REELS AND THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS, SOME TAKEN BY LOCAL RESIDENTS, GERMAN PEOPLE, GAVE EVIDENCE TO THE REALITY OF THE NAZI HOLOCAUST. NAZI OFFICERS WHO KEPT JOURNALS AND RECORDS 'TESTIFIED' AGAINST THEMSELVES. NAZI 'DOCTORS' GAVE THEMSELVES AWAY BY KEEPING CAREFUL RECORDS.
EVERY ALLIED NATION ASSIGNED PHOTOGRAPHERS TO CAPTURE FOR THE WORLD THE SIGHTS THEY SAW UPON ENTERING THESE DEATH CAMPS. THERE ARE BRITISH, RUSSIAN, FRENCH, AS WELL AS AMERICAN AND GERMAN DOCUMENTATIONS OF THESE DEATH CAMPS...IT WASN'T JUST ONE NATION MAKING "FAKE" FILMS, TAKING THOSE THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS.

PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THEIR OWN EYES?
PEOPLE DENY WHAT WAS WRITTEN BY THE NAZIS THEMSELVES, FILMED BY THE NAZIS THEMSELVES, TESTIFIED BY THE NAZIS THEMSELVES, TOLD AND WRITTEN BY THOSE WHO LIVED NEAR THESE CONCENTRATION CAMPS, BY THE GERMAN CITIZENS WHO SURVIVED THIS HORROR?

THE NUMBERING SYSTEM ALONE DEFIES ARGUMENT. PEOPLE WERE ASSIGNED NUMBERS, BRANDED, AND THERE ARE RECORDS OF THAT....MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF NUMBERS.
TOO BAD GERMANY KEPT SUCH GOOD RECORDS?
TOO BAD SO MANY OFFICERS WROTE DOWN WHAT THEY WERE DOING, WHAT WAS REQUIRED OF THEM, WHAT WENT ON IN THOSE CAMPS?

ONLY A SELF-BLINDED FOOL WOULD DENY THE OVERWHELMING PROOF!
OR, PERHAPS, SOMEONE WHO HATES AS DEEPLY AS HITLER HIMSELF HATED?
SOMEONE WHOSE MIND HAS LATCHED ONTO ONE RACE OF PEOPLE AS THE "CAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS ON EARTH"...THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
SOMEONE JEALOUS OF JEWISH SUCCESS, SOMEONE WHO, FOR WHATEVER REASON, FEELS INFERIOR TO JEWS, OR SOMEHOW SHORT-CHANGED BY THE PRESENCE OF JEWS IN SOCIETY? SOMEONE WHO RESENTS JEWISH SURVIVAL AND THEIR GETTING BACK A TINY PIECE OF THEIR HISTORICAL HOMELAND AFTER THE WARS?
WHAT A SMALL MIND, WHAT A SICK MIND THAT WOULD RESENT THE SURVIVAL OF ANY RACE OF HUMAN BEINGS!

DO THE DOUBTERS ALSO HATE THE POLISH PEOPLE, I WONDER?
HITLER DEVELOPED A SPECIAL HATRED FOR THE POLISH PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.
<<Following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Nazis opened forced-labor camps where thousands of prisoners died from exhaustion, starvation, and exposure. SS units guarded the camps. During World War II, the Nazi camp system expanded rapidly.   http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005144>>

AFTER THIS INVASION OF POLAND, THE 'MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS' EXPANDED RAPIDLY, AND THE VOLUMES OF RESULTS FROM THOSE ARE A MATTER OF ABSOLUTE RECORD, IN THEIR OWN HANDS, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, PROUD 'DOCTORS' VYING FOR HITLER'S ATTENTION AND ELEVATION OF THEIR CAREERS, SENT REAMS UPON REAMS OF 'RESEARCH DATA TO THEIR COMMANDER... UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM AT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS.

HAS NO ONE SEEN THE PHOTOS TAKEN DURING THESE "EXPERIMENTS", TAKEN BY THE 'MEDICAL STAFF' AT EACH CAMP, TAKEN BY NAZIS THEMSELVES?
SOME EVEN TOOK PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS OF THE SEX SLAVES KEPT IN EACH CAMP FOR THE NAZI TROOPS, AND OF CHILDREN BEING SODOMIZED AND TORTURED, AND OF THE KILLING OF INFANTS.
TOO MANY PHOTOS....MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE PROVIDED TO THE WHOLE WORLD BY THOSE WHO DID THE CRIMES THEMSELVES!

THERE IS NO WAY TO DENY THAT....UNLESS HATE FORCES YOU TO, UNLESS HATING ONE RACE OF PEOPLE SATISFIES SOME MENTAL ILLNESS WITHIN YOU.

I HEAR A FEW SAY THESE WERE "FAKED". HOW CAN SUCH BE FAKED THROUGH 20,000 CAMPS, OVER AND OVER, THE HORROR FILMED THERE BY SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, EVEN BY THOSE WHO RAN THESE CAMPS? 20,000 CAMPS, 20,000 SETS OF DOCUMENTATION.

AT THIS SITE, ONE CAN SEE A FEW OF THE PHOTOS TAKEN DURING THE 'EXPERIMENTS', TAKEN BY THE NAZIS THEMSELVES.

HERE'S A LIST OF SOME OF THOSE 'DOCTORS' WHO PERHAPS KEPT TOO GOOD A RECORD OF THEIR EXPERIMENTS:

THERE IS A WEALTH OF DOCUMENTATION ON THAT SITE.

THERE HAVE BEEN 'APOLOGIES' BY SOME GROUPS IN GERMANY FOR THOSE EXPERIMENTS, AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ATROCITIES...DOES THAT MEAN NOTHING, THEN?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2150056/Germanys-medical-association-apologises-sadistic-experiments-Nazi-doctors-carried-Jews.html

<<The German Medical Association has apologised for the sadistic experiments carried out by Nazi doctors on Jews.
The body has admitted that many doctors under Nazi-rule during the Second World War were guilty of 'scores of human rights violations'.>>

IF I SAT HERE AND POSTED LINKS FOR 3 DAYS, IT WOULD BARELY SCRAPE THE SURFACE OF THE MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS THE REALITY OF THE HOLOCAUST.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HATE JEWS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ADMIT THIS HAPPENED.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, YOU WILL FIND A WAY TO DENY THE TRUTH OF THE FILMS, PHOTOS, JOURNALS, RESEARCH PAPERS BY THE NAZI DOCTORS THEMSELVES.

I PITY ANY MIND SO CLOSED AND SO FILLED WITH HATE.
YOU CAN CERTAINLY PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED, YOU CAN DENY UNTIL THE END OF TIME, BUT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS HOW LUDICROUS DENIAL IS.

I MUST WONDER IF THOSE WHO DENY SUCH FACTS ARE PERHAPS HOPING FOR HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF.
THAT IS A FRIGHTENING THOUGHT.
HITLER LIVES IN THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO HATE THE PEOPLE HE TARGETED FOR EXTERMINATION.
THAT IS CERTAINLY NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF, IS IT?

AMERICAN DRONES : REMOTE-CONTROLLED DEATH

AS MORE DRONES ARE PLACED IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, THE DEATH THEY BRING MAKES ENEMIES OUT OF THOSE WHO AREN'T TARGETS, THE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS, THOSE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE TARGETS.
LIKE THOSE 69 SCHOOL CHILDREN KILLED DURING BUSH'S FIRST TERM THAT I WROTE ABOUT IN ANOTHER POST HERE.
69 SCHOOL KIDS, GONE IN A FLASH, DEATH BY DRONE.
.
A DRONE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE INNOCENT FROM GUILTY, TARGET FROM PEACEFUL PEOPLE NEARBY....THEY JUST KILL EVERYONE NEAR THE TARGET.
RON PAUL WARNED YEARS AGO WHEN BUSH RAMPED UP AMERICA'S DRONE ATTACKS THAT WE WOULD MAKE ENEMIES OF PAST FRIENDS. HE WARNED THAT IT WASN'T DEMOCRACY THAT INFURIATED PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IT WAS THE INDISCRIMINATE KILLINGS, BY BOMBS, DRONES, AND INVASIONS.
HE WAS RIGHT.

ONE YOUNG MAN DESCRIBES WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FACE A DRONE ATTACK:
<<Late last year, I was with an American colleague from an international media outlet on a tour of Abyan. Suddenly, locals started to become paranoid. They were moving erratically and frantically pointing toward the sky. Based on their past experience with drone strikes, they told us that the thing hovering above us -- out of sight and making a strange humming noise -- was an American drone. My heart sank. I was helpless. It was the first time that I had earnestly feared for my life, or for an American friend's life in Yemen. I was standing there at the mercy of a drone.

I also couldn't help but think that the operator of this drone just might be my American friend with whom I had the warmest and deepest friendship in America. My mind was racing and my heart was torn. I was torn between the great country I know and love and the drone above my head that could not differentiate between me and some AL QAEDA  militant. I was one of the most divisive and difficult feelings I have ever encountered. That feeling, multiplied by the highest number mathematicians have, gripped me when my village was droned just days ago. It was the worst feeling I have ever had. I was devastated for days because I knew that the bombing in my village by the United States would empower militants. Even worse, I know it will make people like Al-Radmi look like a hero, while I look like someone who has betrayed his country by supporting America.>>

THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A YOUNG YEMENI MAN WHO LOVES AMERICA, WHO STILL LOVES AMERICA, BUT WHO SAW FIRST-HAND THE HORRORS OF DRONE WARFARE.

<<The remote mountain village of Wessab is nine hours' drive from Yemen's capital.
Farea al-Muslimi was raised there on a farm, where his family lived off fruit, vegetables, and livestock. He would have 19 siblings but for the fact that seven died as a result of inadequate medical care.
A final State Department scholarship funded his college education at the American University of Beirut, where he recently graduated with a degree in public policy. He now works as a democracy activist and a freelance journalist, often helping Western journalists to report in his country. That work has afforded him the opportunity to interview people in the three regions where the Obama Administration has focused its quasi-secret targeted-killing operation in Yemen.
The insights gleaned from his reporting are themselves valuable.
"I have met with dozens of civilians who were injured during drone strikes and other air attacks," al-Muslimi states. "I have met with relatives of people who were killed as well as numerous eyewitnesses. They have told me how these air strikes have changed their lives for the worst." On one occasion, he met a man who described how "he stood helplessly as his 4-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter died in his arms on the way to the hospital." The man's house was targeted by mistake. He reported on another strike that killed 40 civilians and spoke to a 12-year-old boy who cried while describing being afraid of the drones buzzing overhead every night.
In al-Muslimi's estimation, "the killing of innocent civilians by U.S. missiles in Yemen is helping to destabilize my country and create an environment from which al-Qaeda (AQAP) benefits." They use innocents killed by drone strikes as a recruiting tool and rely on the impression drones create that America is at war with all Yemenis. One little boy, whose father was killed in a drone strike, carries a picture of a plane in his pocket and says he wants revenge against his father's killer, "America."
Drone strikes "are the face of America to many Yemenis," he reports. "If America is providing economic, social and humanitarian assistance to Yemen, the vast majority of the Yemeni people know nothing about it.
Everyone in Yemen, however, knows about America and its drones."
In some places, hatred of the drone strikes is so strong that al-Muslimi feels it is dangerous to even acknowledge having visited the U.S., never mind having American friends and acquaintances.>>

SO, WOULD BUSH SAY, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"?
DOES OBAMA EVEN CONSIDER THIS WHEN HE ORDERS DRONES TO ANOTHER NATION, AND ANOTHER, AND ANOTHER...?
WE HAVE DRONES FLYING OVER OUR HEADS NOW, AMERICA.
DRONES HAVE BEEN USED ON THE MEXICAN BORDER SINCE 2005, ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER SINCE 2008!
YOU MAY NEVER IMAGINE HOW MANY DRONES ARE UP THERE ABOVE OUR HEADS... AND YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE, WHEN THE "ACCIDENTS" START HAPPENING HERE.
THEY WILL HAPPEN HERE, COUNT ON IT!
THE ONE THAT CRASHED IN TEXAS IN 2010, ANOTHER, A MILITARY DRONE, IN NEVADA NOT LONG AGO ... "ACCIDENTS" WAITING TO HAPPEN.
THERE WILL BE OTHERS...

HOW TO ATTACK NYC SUBWAY SYSTEM, COMPLIMENTS OF NYPD

IN A MOVE ALMOST TOO STUPID TO DESCRIBE, IN MY OPINION, THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL TEAM UP WITH 'RESEARCHERS' FOR SOME DRY RUNS ON HOW THE CITY'S SUBWAY SYSTEM COULD BE ATTACKED BY CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, OR RADIOACTIVE WEAPONS.
YES, THEY WILL!
HEADS UP, NEW YORK! LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY BE THE NEXT TARGET!

"DRILLS" WERE CONDUCTED THAT PRECISELY MATCHED THE EVENTS IN COLORADO BEFORE THE THEATER SHOOTING (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_21126462/real-life-shooting-imitates-training-exercise-at-parker), NEAR SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BEFORE THAT DISASTER (http://www.catholicintl.com/index.php/latest-news/1129--further-evidence-shows-sandy-hook-was-staged), IN BOSTON HOURS BEFORE THE MARATHON BOMBINGS (BOSTON GLOBE TWEETED THOSE) , BY THE MILITARY JUST BEFORE AND DURING 9/11 (FEMA and NORAD were running exercise drills on September 10, 2001- the day before the attacks of September 11, 2001.    
GOOGLE 'OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE', BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II, 'OPERATION VIGILANT GUARDIAN','OPERATION NORTHERN GUARDIAN', 'OPERATION VIGILANT WARRIOR'), IN LONDON AS THE UNDERGROUND BOMBING TOOK PLACE (nice read on such here: http://www.bollyn.com/the-terror-drills-that-became-real), AND IN HAITI BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE
(GOOGLE "Exercise Pacifex 10", OR SEE http://web.archive.org/web/20100331130836/http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/pdf/PACIFEX10HandbookV3.0.pdf)
<<Researchers will track the movement of "harmless tracer gases" by placing air sampling devices in specific areas on the street and within the subway system. The gases mimic how a chemical, biological or radiological weapon may react if released.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday that the study will help safeguard the city against attacks.>>

HELP SAFEGUARD THE CITY?
THE CITY WILL BE FAR LESS SAFE AFTER THIS RESEARCH! ONCE THE RESULTS ARE OUT, IT'S A BLUEPRINT FOR NUT-CASES!
WHY NOT JUST POST A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE SHOWING POTENTIAL TERRORISTS EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VULNERABILITIES AND LOCATIONS IN THE SUBWAY SYSTEM, MAYBE SHOW THEM HOW TO MAKE A FEW DEVICES...OR, MAYBE LIKE THE FBI DOES, DRIVE THEM TO THE SCENE ITSELF?
THIS IS LIKE GIVING A SERIAL RAPIST A BOX OF CONDOMS AND AN ADDRESS LIST OF THE MOST VULNERABLE WOMEN IN AMERICA!
THIS IS AKIN TO CRIMINAL INSANITY!

<<The tests will be conducted in July in all five boroughs. About 200 sampling devices will be deployed and the gas will be released through tanks. The test vapors are called perflurocarbon tracer gases and present no health or environmental hazard, police said. The public will be alerted before the testing is done, police said.
Kelly said similar studies have been done in Washington and Boston, but none on as large a scope. Officials will also look at results from those tests and a 2005 study done in New York on airflow, he said. The New York City subway system is the nation's largest with about 5 million riders per day.
The project with the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory will be funded through a $3.4 million federal grant.>>

A FEDERAL GRANT?
WELL, THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, DOESN'T IT?
THE FEDS WANT TO KNOW HOW TO KILL 5 MILLION PEOPLE, IS THAT IT?

BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY?
THE BROOKHAVEN LAB OF ORION TECHNOLOGY FAME AND OTHER SECRET PROJECTS, LIKE PHOENIX TWO (OR PHENIX RPC TESTS), SAGE RADAR, MONTAUK PROJECT....THOSE GUYS FROM THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT GANG?
THAT'S A SCARY PLACE!

FEDS PLUS BROOKHAVEN = MAJOR BIG DEAL GOING DOWN, YES?
YOU NEW YORKERS MAY WANT TO PLAN YOUR VACATION AROUND THIS "EVENT", MAYBE BE FAR, FAR AWAY FROM NEW YORK THIS JULY?
BROOKHAVEN LAB....ASTOUNDING COMBINATION!

<<Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the study will help city agencies better understand how harmful toxins could be released and dispersed and will aid in planning evacuations or other emergency responses.>>

KELLY MAY HAVE MEANT JUST HOW HARMFUL THE TOXINS CAN BE MADE TO BE?
OR HOW WIDELY THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DISPERSE THE TOXINS?
SERIOUSLY, NEW YORKERS, STAY OUT OF THE SUBWAYS DURING THESE "RESEARCH DRILLS"...THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.
"DRILLS" HAVE BECOME REALITY FAR TOO OFTEN IN AMERICA RECENTLY!

MEANWHILE, "BLOODY APRIL" AND ODDITIES CONTINUE:
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. 04/23/2013- A HazMat team was called to a science building at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Tuesday afternoon.
  They were dispatched after three security guards entered a room in MacArthur Hall and immediately reported their eyes burning.
Fifty people, including students, were evacuated as a precaution. 
Crews checked the room but did not find anything hazardous.
SO, NOTHING IS WHAT CAUSED BURNING EYES, ETC?
THAT'S A NEW ONE...

AND IN MOBILE, ALABAMA, HOURS AGO:
A large fire that began with explosions aboard two fuel barges in Mobile, Ala., was rocked by a seventh explosion early Thursday and fire officials said they planned to let the fire, which has injured three, burn overnight. Firefighters from Mobile and U.S. Coast Guard officials responded after 8:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday to a pair of explosions involving the gas barges in an area of the Mobile River east of downtown, authorities said.
As they were responding, a third explosion occurred around 9:30 p.m., Mobile Fire and Rescue spokesman Steve Huffman wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Additional explosions followed over the next few hours.

AND, yesterday:
The nephew of Manchester' Illinois' mayor shot to death two women, two boys and a man before leading police on a chase that ended in an exchange of gunfire that left him dead, authorities said Wednesday.
Illinois State Police said they believe Rick O. Smith, 43, entered the home through the back door and shot the victims at close range with a shotgun. Two people were found in a bedroom, two in a second bedroom and the man in the hallway. A sixth victim, a 6-year-old girl, was injured and taken to a Springfield hospital.

U.S. IGNORED WARNINGS IN BOSTON BOMBING

REUTERS, CBS, NBC, FOX, the Boston Globe, the Daily Mail, the NEW YORK TIMES and other mainstream media have reported that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was placed on a U.S. terrorist 'watch' list after 'multiple' warnings from Russian authorities to the FBI.
"'But the list is so vast that authorities did not automatically keep close tabs on him'", sources close to the bombing investigation said on Tuesday.
THEN HE WAS PLACED ON OTHER WATCH-LISTS...
WHAT? THE LISTS WEREN'T WATCHED? THIS MAN WASN'T MONITORED?
WHY HAVE A LIST AND THEN NOT USE IT, IF THE POINT OF SUCH LISTS IS TO "KEEP AMERICANS SAFE"?

RUSSIA MADE REPEATED CONTACT ABOUT THE ELDER TSARNAEV BROTHER.
Details are emerging that Russian authorities had contacted the U.S. government repeatedly about Tsarnaev's suspected ties to radical Islam, according to U.S. senators briefed on the FBI investigation. However, the FBI previously avowed that it was only contacted once regarding a potential threat posed by Tsarnaev, and after an investigation, found nothing of concern.

From a "closed briefing" of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday, Sen. Richard Burr, Republican, North Carolina, said he believed that Russia alerted the United States about Tsarnaev in 'multiple contacts.'
This had been reported earlier, but denied.
Perhaps we will now get the truth?

John Kerry, in what may have been a 'faux pas' moment, lambasted the handling of the Tsarnaevs.
"'The older brother in the Boston bombing case returned from a six-month stay in Russia last year with a willingness to kill people", Kerry said.
 Speaking in Brussels, the US secretary of state said: "We just had a young person who went to Russia, Chechnya, who blew people up in Boston.
"So he didn't stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people."

The State Department later 'CLARIFIED'  Kerry's remarks, saying he was "simply expressing broad concern about radicalism rather than indicating any new information".
NO HE WASN'T! HE WAS CALLING IT AS HE SAW IT, AS SO MANY HAVE SEEN IT.
THE BALL WAS DROPPED...AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Several sources are now reporting that Tamerlan Tsarnaev's details were entered into 'TIDE' (The Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment) a database maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center, because the FBI spoke to him in 2011 while investigating a Russian tip-off that he had become a follower of radical Islamists.
As of 2008, TIDE contained more than 540,000 names, although representing about 450,000 actual people as some of the entries are aliases or different name spellings for the same person. Fewer than 5% of the TIDE entries were U.S. citizens or legal residents, according to a description of the database on the NCTC website itself.
The excuse why the elder brother wasn't more closely scrutinized now seems to be turning to "Because of its huge size, U.S. investigators do not routinely monitor everyone registered there, said U.S. officials familiar with the database."

THEN WHY HAVE THE DATABASE, IF NO ONE IS GOING TO CLOSELY MONITOR ALL THE NAMES ON IT? WHAT GOOD IS IT IF IT ISN'T FULLY UTILIZED?

The database system has OFTEN been criticized in the past for being too cumbersome, especially in light of an attempted attack on a plane in 2009. Intelligence and security agencies acknowledged in Congress that they had missed clues to the Detroit 'underpants bomber' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Officials said after the incident that he ALSO had been listed in the TIDE database.

Republican Senator Susan Collins said there were problems in sharing information ahead of the Boston bombings as well.
"'This is troubling to me that this many years after the attacks on our country in 2001 that we still seem to have stovepipes that prevent information from being shared effectively,'" she said. Collins spoke after the FBI gave a closed-door briefing to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, but she did not elaborate.

SHE SHOULD ELABORATE! WE SHOULD DEMAND ANSWERS!
ISN'T THE LACK OF SHARING BETWEEN AGENCIES ONE OF THE CHARGES OF FAILURE ON THE BUSH2's ADMINISTRATION REGARDING THE 9/11 ATTACKS? DIDN'T FEDERAL AGENCIES COME UNDER ATTACK BACK THEN FOR FAILURE TO MONITOR AND SHARE THESE 'TERRORIST LISTS'?
DIDN'T MORE THAN ONE 'WHISTLEBLOWER' SAY THAT THE WHITE HOUSE WAS AWARE OF THE NAMES OF MANY OF THE ALLEGED 9/11 HIJACKERS MONTHS IN ADVANCE? WHY WEREN'T THEY PICKED UP AND QUESTIONED THEN?
WHY WASN'T TAMERLAN TSARNAEV?
12 YEARS LATER, OBVIOUSLY NOTHING HAS IMPROVED, HAS IT?
WHY NOT?
WHO'S RUNNING THAT SHOW IN WASHINGTON?
WHO'S REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE MISERABLE FAILURES?

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was NEVER put on the 'no-fly' list that would have banned him from boarding an airplane in the United States. Neither was he named on the Selectee List, which would have required him to be given extra security screening at airports.

Another list, the Terrorist Screening Database, is a declassified version of the highly classified TIDE with fewer details about terrorist suspects. One source said Tsarnaev was on this list, too.

BUT HE DIDN'T GET A 2ND GLANCE WHEN HE RETURNED FROM RUSSIA IN 2012?
NOT EVEN AFTER RUSSIA REPORTED TO THE U.S. THAT HE HAD GONE MANY TIMES TO A 'RADICAL ISLAM' MOSQUE? NOT EVEN AFTER HE TRAVELED ELSEWHERE THAT IS FLAGGED BY NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCIES OVERSEAS?

Even AFTER being put in the TIDE system, his name was entered into another database, this one maintained by the Homeland Security Department's Customs and Border Protection bureau which is used to screen people crossing U.S. land borders and entering at airports or by sea.

Tsarnaev WAS flagged on that database when he left the United States for Russia in January 2012 but NO ALARM was raised. Was that because the FBI had not "identified him as a threat" after the interview? Russia sure thought he was a threat! WHY DIDN'T THE U.S.?

When Tamerlan returned from Russia six months later, he had already been automatically downgraded in the border database because there was no new information that required him to continue to get extra attention. So he NEVER got secondary inspection on his re-entry at New York's JFK Airport. It seems to be unclear exactly what the procedure was for such a downgrade.

IT'S A REPEAT OF 9/11...THE U.S./WHITE HOUSE WAS WARNED AND DID NOTHING... ISN'T IT?

Sean Joyce, deputy director of the FBI, defended the FBI's performance in the Boston bombings at two closed hearings in Congress on Tuesday.
WHAT POSSIBLE DEFENSE COULD THE FBI OFFER?
BOTH PARENTS SAY THAT THE FBI WAS IN CONTACT WITH THEIR SONS FOR YEARS!
THEY WERE FOLLOWED ON SOCIAL NETWORKS BY THE FBI.
WHY DIDN'T THEY FOLLOW THEM IN OTHER WAYS?

While government agencies declined to publicly discuss how the watch list system handled Tsarnaev, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano disclosed some details at a separate, open hearing on immigration on Capitol Hill.
"'Yes, the system pinged when he was leaving the United States. By the time he returned, all investigations - the matter had been closed,'" Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
EVEN IF IT IS LINDSEY GRAHAM, HE MADE A GOOD POINT ABOUT THIS:
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said law enforcement should have kept a closer eye on Tsarnaev after the FBI spoke to him two years ago. The FBI should also have realized last week following the bombings that he was in databases, Graham told reporters.

'"After the bomb went off, don't you think one of the first things the FBI would do is say, 'Have we interviewed anybody in the Boston area that may fit the profile of doing this?' How could his name not pop up, the older brother? And when you have the photo the whole world is looking at, how could we not match that photo with him already being in the system?'" Graham asked.

HOW INDEED!
TAERLAN'S PHOTO WAS IN THE SYSTEM, IN THE DATABASE, AND YET THE FBI WAS ASKING CITIZENS TO HELP IDENTIFY HIM AND HIS BROTHER?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY HIM?
THEY HAD INTERVIEWED HIM AND PUT HIM ON LISTS!
HE WAS IN THE SYSTEM, AND THE FBI HAD FAR BETTER RESOURCES THAN THE PUBLIC TO IDENTIFY THE MAN!

DID OUR GOVERNMENT JUST SUDDENLY DECIDE THAT REPEATED WARNINGS BY RUSSIA WERE TO BE IGNORED? DID THEY JUST STOP CONSIDERING THOSE MULTIPLE WARNINGS AT ALL?
HOW? WHY?
HOW CAN A SYSTEM IGNORED LIKE THAT DO ANYTHING BUT FAIL?

WHY DIDN'T A HUGE RED FLAG GO UP WHEN TAMERLAN FLEW TO RUSSIA AND BACK?
WHY, NOW, IS THE FBI QUESTIONING IF OTHERS WERE INVOLVED WITH THE TSARNAEV BROTHERS?
WHY SUDDENLY NOW, AFTER INITIAL REPORTS FROM THE FBI, ETC, ASSURED US THEY ACTED "TOGETHER AND ALONE"?

Tamerlan Tsarnaev's name was entered into the Treasury Enforcement Communications System, or TECS, as a routine procedure when the FBI looked into whether Tsarnaev was involved in terrorist activity, the law enforcement officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. TECS is the system used by U.S. officials at the nation's borders to help screen people arriving in the U.S.
HE WAS NEVER SCREENED!

The surviving younger brother and alleged coconspirator, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, supposedly confessed to ­authorities Sunday (April 21)  that he and his brother carried out the deadly attack on the city’s signature road race, in part, because of ­Tamerlan’s anger over US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. So said one law enforcement official.

The same 'official' said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made the admission to FBI agents who interviewed him at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he is ­being treated for multiple gunshot wounds. At the time, he had not yet been read his rights, but this admission would qualify him to receive the death penalty in the U.S.
He is NOT being charged as an "enemy combatant" and will NOT be tried in a military court.

SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE READ HIM THE MIRANDA STATEMENT!
WHY NOT?
WHAT HARM COULD READING HIM HIS RIGHTS DO?
IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ERROR THAT WILL COST THEM DEARLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MIRANDIZE HIM!

SEVERAL SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN ARE RAISING CONCERNS, ENOUGH SO THAT WE SHOULD BE AFFORDED HONEST ANSWERS FROM DHS AND THE FBI.

"Post 9/11, we thought we had created a system that would allow for the free flow of information," Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Republican-Ga., said. "And I think there has been some stonewalls and stovepipes that have been reconstructed that were probably unintentional. We probably need to review that again."

Sen. Susan Collins, Republican-Maine, meanwhile, said she had "serious concerns" that agencies weren't sharing information during the Boston bombing investigation.

 UNINTENTIONAL? HOW CAN IT BE UNINTENTIONAL THAT AGENCIES DON'T PLUG THINGS INTO A DATABASE THAT GETS SHARED ACROSS THE BOARD? WEREN'T THEY TOLD TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN AFTER 9/11? DIDN'T THEY SAY THEY'D FIX THAT?

 In a further twist, NBC Channel 4 News claimed on Sunday that Tamerlan had phoned home (RUSSIA) in the wake of the bombings and told his mother that the FBI had already called him to accuse him of being responsible.

According to the report, Tamerlan telephoned his mother on Wednesday last week and said he had replied to the FBI's accusations by saying: "That's your problem." The claims emerged from an interview with his father, Ansor.

THE FBI DECLINED TO COMMENT DIRECTLY ON EITHER CLAIM.

 Another Republican, congressman Peter King, chairman of the House sub-committee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, was even more direct, accusing the FBI of having a track-record of failure in monitoring potential terror threats.

"This is at least the FIFTH case I'm aware of where the FBI has failed to stop someone," Mr. King told Fox News, citing cases like that of Anwar al-Awlaki, who planned terrorist attacks as part of al Qaeda, and Nidal Malik Hasan, who opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 killing 13 people.

"This is the latest in a series of cases like this...where the FBI is given information about someone as being a potential terrorist; they look at them, and then they don't take action, and then they go out and commit murders."

THERE WERE OTHER WARNING SIGNS ABOUT TAMERLAN TSARNAEV.
~In 2009, Tamerlan was arrested for domestic assault and battery after assaulting his girlfriend.
He had a history of violence.
Nadine Ascencao, 25, has spoken out about her relationship with the man who allegedly planted two bombs at the Boston Marathon last week, killing three people and injuring more than 180.
Despite this heinous crime and a disturbing pattern of verbal and physical abuse towards women, Ascencao has claimed the man she once lived with did not appear to be capable of 'anything major'.

~In 2010, after 10 years in America, he had told a reporter that he had JUST ONE American friend because he didn't understand them, and went on to mention that ISLAM FORBADE ALCOHOLIC DRINKING. He mentioned America's 'loose morals'.
BUT TAMERLAN's "ONE AMERICAN FRIEND", BRENDAN MESS, ALONG WITH 2 OTHERS, WAS MURDERED IN AN UNSOLVED CRIME IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2011.
Brendan Mess had his 'throat slit' alongside two other men in a Massachusetts apartment in 2011 in what police described as a 'very graphic crime scene'.
Former associates of the Chechan immigrant didn't initially suspect Tamerlan of carrying out the gruesome attack, but thought it was strange he didn't attend his friend's funeral.
"'Tam wasn't there at the memorial service, he wasn't at the funeral, he wasn't around at all,'" an associate of Tamerlan's calling himself 'Ray' said. He "just sort of disappeared from around the gym after that".
"'And he was really close with Brendan. That's why it's so weird.'"
Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts center owner John Allan also said Tsarnaev and Mess used to work out at his gym together but Tsarnaev stopped coming after Mess was murdered.

The event clearly still haunted Tsarnaev as recently as last week when he suddenly returned to his old gym and started acting unusually.

The business owner, who was traveling in Thailand at the time, said he received an e-mail saying Tsarnaev had been in, but acted rudely and disrespectfully to other gym-users.  
'It was a clear indication that something was up,' Allan told the Boston Globe. 'He was becoming a complete [expletive].'
Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone issued a statement soon after the 2011 murders saying, 'based on the present state of the investigation, it is believed that the victims knew the assailant or assailants, and the attacks were not random.'

~Relatives had cut Tamerlan off after years of bad behavior from him.
THE BROTHERS' AUNT, (AND OTHER RELATIVES AS WELL) SAID IN AN INTERVIEW:
"'[Tamerlan] was always getting in trouble. He was never happy, never cheering, never smiling. He used to strike his girlfriend. . . . He was not a nice man.'"

~ Friends of Tamerlan's wife, Katherine Russell, said he would call her names and throw objects and furniture at her.
Why didn't these 'friends' report that to the police, and why didn't his wife?

ALL THIS, BUT NO RED FLAG EVEN THOUGH TAMERLAN WAS ON THE FBI WATCH LIST THEN, AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC ASSAULT PREVIOUSLY?

~By August 2012, AFTER HIS RETURN FROM RUSSIA,  his youtube channel showed heavy leanings toward jihadist thought. He posted several videos by
A YouTube account apparently belonging to Tamerlan Tsarnaev gives tantalizing hints of his radicalization before the Boston bombings, and includes a speech by a Russian militant cradling a gun, a bizarre attack on Harry Potter, and songs by a popular Russian rapper.
Tsarnaev created a YouTube channel in August 2012, shortly after returning to the US from Moscow. He spent six months in Russia last year between January and July, visiting his parents in Makhachkala, the capital of the Muslim republic of Dagestan. Tsarnaev also visited neighboring Chechnya.

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM ASKED ANOTHER POIGNANT QUESTION: "'Here's the question we all should be asking: Let's assume for a moment the FBI made a diligent effort to make an investigation based on the Russian information ... But, how could we, from 2012 until the attack, miss all of the radical statements and activity this guy engaged in, the older brother, on the Internet and the YouTube videos?'"

GOOD QUESTION, AND WE DESERVE ANSWERS.

BODY REMAINS UNCLAIMED
Tamerlan had a child, three-year-old Zahara, with a 24-year-old college graduate, Katherine Russell, who converted to Islam at his request after the birth and then married him in June, 2010..
Neither his wife Katherine or any other family members have come forward to claim the 26-year-old's body as of today, April 24, 2013.

BOMBERS' MOTHER SWEARS FBI WATCHED SONS

MOTHER OF BOSTON BOMBERS SAYS HER SONS WERE CONTROLLED AND SET-UP BY THE FBI
http://www.euronews.com/2013/04/20/mother-of-boston-bombers-says-sons-were-set-up-by-fbi/<<The mother of the Tsarnaev brothers has pleaded her sons’ innocence saying they have been framed for the marathon bombings in Boston.

She said neither of them had given any indication that they were extremists:

“It is really, really a hard thing to hear. And being a mother, what I can say is that I am really sure, I am like a hundred percent sure that this is a set-up.
“My two sons are really innocent, and I know that neither of them never, never has talked about whatever they are saying about now.”
“And he (Tamerlan) never, he never told me that he would be, like, on a side of jihad. And whatever they are talking, whatever is being talked about him being a loser, they are themselves the losers. My son would never do this. It is a set-up.”

Innocent
“He (Tamerlan) was controlled by the FBI, like, for three to five years. They knew what my son was doing, they knew what sites on the Internet he was going to. They used to come home, they used to come and talk to me, they used to tell me that, you know, that they are controlling him… They were telling me he is really a leader and they are afraid of him.”
“How could this happen? How could they… They were controlling every step of him. they are telling today that this is a terrorist act. Never ever – this is not true. My two sons are innocent.”
“My sons, my oldest son used to tell me everything, everything. Every day, every second day my son used to call me and ask me, how are you mama, both of them, mama we love you, mama how are you, we miss you.
“It’s impossible, impossible for them, for both of them to do such thing. So I’m really, really, really, really telling that this is a set-up.
“My sons would tell me, my sons would never keep it a secret, so I would know. So if anyone who would know it would be me.”>>

HOW MANY BESIDES THE FEW NEWS MEDIA IN NEW YORK HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION SINCE DAY 1 OF THIS INCIDENT? MOST OF THE "ALTERNATIVE MEDIA" HAVE, MANY FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
THE FBI ENLISTING AND THEN PROVIDING FOREIGNERS WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICES WAS REVEALED YEARS AGO! IT BECAME ALMOST A JOKE: "NEED A TERRORIST, HIRE ONE!"
THE NEW YORK TIMES DID A LENGTHY PIECE ON HOW THE FBI HAS EVEN DRIVEN "WOULD-BE TERRORISTS" TO THE SITE THEY HELPED THEM BUILD BOMBS TO BLOW UP! (READ THAT IN THE POST FROM THE LINK BELOW.)
MAYBE THESE TWO KEPT A FILE ON THIS, RECORDINGS, VIDEOS, MAYBE THEIR FRIENDS KNEW? ANYTHING!
WOULD ANY OF US BE SURPRISED?
WAS IT JUST ANOTHER FBI "GROW-A-TERRORIST" STING THAT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG?
IF SO, THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING THESE TWO SHOULD BE TRIED FOR PREMEDITATED MURDER!

LIKE I POSTED (January 13, 2013) THE FBI AND HOMELAND SECURITY HAVE CAUGHT NO BOMBERS THEY HAVEN'T HELPED BECOME BOMBERS SINCE 9/11. THEY CREATE THEM, THEN THEY HELP THEM, THEN THEY MAKE THE ARRESTS AND BOAST ABOUT HOW THEY "PREVENTED" AN ATTACK ON AMERICA! I CALL THAT REAL "HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS", WOULDN'T YOU?
LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE GOT OUT OF HAND!http://havacuppahemlock1.blogspot.com/2013/01/fbi-drives-terroristsliterally.html

IN THEIR OWN WORDS, from one of the FBI's own websites, AFTER A PREVIOUS FALSE FLAG OPERATION:
“It is important to emphasize that the public was never at risk in this case, because two of the defendant’s ‘accomplices’ were actually an FBI source and an FBI undercover agent,” Acting Assistant FBI Director Mary Galligan admitted in a press release celebrating the arrest. “The FBI continues to place the highest priority on preventing acts of terrorism.”
ALSO IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
http://www.fbi.gov/newyork/press-releases/2012/joint-terrorism-task-force-arrests-man-in-lower-manhattan-after-he-attempted-to-bomb-new-york-federal-reserve-bank
Last year, federal authorities hatched a similar half-baked plot, using a convicted felon to deceive a group of young self-styled left-wing anarchists into trying to blow up a bridge near Cleveland.
A separate case in 2009 in which a government informer convinced dupes to plant fake bombs in New York even drew criticism from the judge who oversaw the case, who said: “The government made them terrorists.”

Government-hatched terror attacks, despite generating a lot of headlines, paranoia, and budget increases for the terror war, have still come under increasing scrutiny in recent years.
“Without the F.B.I., would the culprits commit violence on their own? Is cultivating potential terrorists the best use of the manpower designed to find the real ones?” wondered author David Shipler in a piece for the New York Times earlier this year about the absurdity of manufacturing terror plots to stop terror.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-helped-along-by-the-fbi.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
<<"But all these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naively played their parts until they were arrested."
"When an Oregon college student, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, thought of using a car bomb to attack a festive Christmas-tree lighting ceremony in Portland, the F.B.I. provided a van loaded with six 55-gallon drums of “inert material,” harmless blasting caps, a detonator cord and a gallon of diesel fuel to make the van smell flammable.>> DOES THIS, PERHAPS, EXPLAIN WHY THE ALABAMA UNIVERSITY COACH WHO RAN IN THAT MARATHON SAID IN ALL HIS INTERVIEWS THAT THE POLICE WERE MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS BEFORE AND DURING THE RACE THAT THEY'D BE CONDUCTING A DRILL? IS THAT WHY THE BOMB SQUADS, THE ROOFTOP SNIPERS, THE BOMB-SNIFFING DOGS WERE THERE?
IS THAT WHY WE SAW DO MANY MEN DRESSED IN COMBAT FATIGUES RUSH TO ASSIST THE BOMB VICTIMS? THERE WERE MANY THERE ALL OF A SUDDEN!IS THIS HOW THE BOSTON GLOBE WAS ABLE TO TWEET 2 HOURS BEFORE THE FIRST BOMB THAT THE POLICE WERE GOING TO CONDUCT "CONTROLLED EXPLOSIONS ON THE 600 BLOCK OF BOYLSTON STREET"?
CAN WE MAYBE ADD IT ALL UP NOW THAT THE MOTHER HAS COME FORWARD WITH THIS?
ISN'T IT GREAT FOR THE FBI THAT THE SURVIVING BROTHER HAS A THROAT WOUND AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK AGAIN...TO THE PRESS?
ISN'T IT A BIT TOO MUCH WHAT IDENTICAL TO WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT NAFIS, (a Bangladeshi national) AFTER THE FBI TARGETED AND COERCED HIM, THAT "THIS MAN ACTED ALONE, NO OTHER ACCOMPLICES"?
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THERE HASN'T EVEN BEEN A POSSIBILITY RAISED THAT THE TWO BROTHERS HAD ACCOMPLICES, NO SEARCH FOR ANY?
IS THAT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE PAIR UNDER CONTROL?
DID THE YOUNGER BROTHER GO BACK TO CLASSES AND EVEN TO A PARTY AFTER HIS BROTHER WAS KILLED THINKING THE FBI WOULD TAKE CARE OF THINGS? HAD THEY PROMISED THEM THEY'D GIVE THEM "NEW LIVES" SOMEWHERE ELSE?WILL THE SURVIVING BROTHER SUDDENLY TURN CRITICAL AND DIE IN THE HOSPITAL, OR FROM SUICIDE?

QUESTION EVERYTHING, MY FRIENDS, AND EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT IN PARTICULAR!

NOTHING SURPRISES ME ABOUT MY GOVERNMENT ANYMORE....WE LIVE IN A POLICE STATE!
