@Jeanie, thank you for your kind words on August 24, 2010 and #51 on Thom’s blog! You show us your beautiful hair and your beautiful eyes but you never let us see your beautiful face.

Thom believes that the United States of Satan’s Disciples does have a future. I do not believe! I will agree that in one area Satan’s Disciples do have a future. The Project for a New American Century originated in America in the 1920s by Leo Strauss at the University of Chicago. Strauss believed that our planet could only sustain five hundred million people. Strauss’ disciples have carried on with his beliefs. Planet, Earth, has a population of around 6.8 billion people. America’s future is in the killing off of God’s children by 6.3 billion people. Yes, our future is eternal wars, everlasting murders, unrelenting torture, and pure sadistic behavior by America’s devils.
Whites will always dominate in the United States of Hell. With rigged electronic voting machines and no paper trail Whites will have the voting machines flip to a White candidate. On our planet we have eighty-four percent non-Whites and sixteen percent White. Whites will not dominate in countries outside the United States of Mortal Sin. The United States of Hell will never lose a war because we have the weaponry to defeat any country in the world. I also believe that if the United States of Numb Nuts senses it is going down, our nation will unleash a nuclear holocaust and wipe out any nation because we have close to eight hundred military bases outside the United States of Satan’s Disciples. Many of these bases have nuclear weapons that could be air born in a few minutes.
Americans can go to bed feeling safe and secure in their natural hell but they will not be safe and secure in the supernatural hell that awaits our citizens.

I had a chance to listen to Alex Jones on a disk. Our son listens to him and he will share information on him. Alex Jones was on a roll. The conservative crazies are pursuing the path that certain music is an illegal drug. Yet, the same crazies will promote video war games that kill. The conservative crazies are into mind control of Americans. Depressed areas with high schools have federalized so that military recruiters can enlist these students into military service. Will all our schools that accept federal money be federalized to recruit students? There are American companies looking for skilled Americans to hire but they are unable to find these workers and so they will have to recruit foreigners to fill these positions. Americans are losing precious skills that are needed, such as welding, machine operating, installing siding, tile work, etc. The federal government is now into pre-crime technology and investigations. The government is trying to predict who will commit a crime before it is committed and imprison such a person. Suspicious looking persons will be imprisoned. America is unable to find skilled workers to the point that if manufactures return to our country, it will take a decade to implement to new found jobs and a generation to train skilled workers. We are looking at 2040 before Americans can be prepared for better paying jobs. In time will uplifting music and songs like Christmas carols be considered an illegal drug? GMO food is poison and organic food is medicinal. Water will be more important than oil in the future. American troops will never leave the Middle East. Let me again repeat that the military has control over the public schools. Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. Testicular cancer is increasing among radiated men and they cannot help women to have children. I will be borrowing some words from Alex Jones, such as “GERALD’S COMMENTS ARE COMING TO YOU FROM HIS HIDEAWAY BUNKER DEEP INSIDE ENEMY TERRITORY.” I must be very careful because the Fourth Reich is presently controlling the United States of Hell. There may be gestapos who are trying to silence me. I can tell who are the gestapos by their brown shirts and jackboots they are wearing.
We do not have a democracy. Tyranny reigns in the United States of Numb Nuts. Obama has the same advisors as Clinton and Bush II. Obama is actually a front man for our Shadow Government. America also possesses weather weapons. We must stop the conservative crazies by focusing on their nonsense. Americorp is demanding that young men between eighteen and twenty-four must serve in the military armed services. Under the Patriot Act men can be drafted through their sixty-first birthday. According to Morgan Stanley the American government is going to default on bonds and other financial matters. The lunatics in D.C. are in a panic mode. WE ARE IN A GREAT DEPRESSION. The panic is so widespread that the internet will no longer be free. With a free internet average Americans are becoming more aware as to how demonic and satanic is our federal government. The gold in Fort Knox is missing and we cannot find the gold. UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT TWENTY PERCENT OR MORE!!! AVERAGE AMERICANS ARE INDENTURED SERVANTS. WEALTH DIVISION IN AMERICA IS BECOMING MORE EXTREME. Our politicians are hiding our massive debt. Derivatives have shafted average Americans. Our ecological policies, such as the oil spillage have driven many average American workers to extinction. Waste is created to lower our resources like the killing of seafood through oil spillage. Less seafood raises the price of the seafood. The American government loves waste so the prices can rise creating more profits for the business companies. We will experience more waste in America. We will also need to study how much our federal government loves to waste human beings through unnatural deaths. Creative destruction is destroying our country because average Americans are not involved in the process of creating a great country. We are basically a group of Numb Nuts. We have lost our creativity because the conservative crazies have programmed Americans to hate themselves and to love the oligarchs. Good ideas will drive out bad ideas. Conservative crazies are praising bad ideas and the good ideas are never discussed. Conservative crazies are controlling American thought processes by feeding Americans with continual nonsense. There is talk about the Hindenburg Omen is about to re-occur and the financial crash will happen. I do not fully understand the basics for the Hindenburg Omen to re-occur. It occurred in 2007. Here is some information on the Hindenburg Omen that may help you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_Omen

I was talking to our middle son about the serious problems our nation faces and how it has become more demonic and satanic. He said that God will not permit His Son, Jesus, to return for a second time. I do agree with him because why should God permit His Sin to return to earth. Why should Jesus enter a hell-hole and a rat-hole planet?
When God created human beings, He wanted us to complete a heaven on earth. We have failed in God’s plan. Jesus will not return. God will let planet, Earth, deteriorate through self-destruction. God will start a new planet with new and improved human beings who will finish God’s work of a heaven on earth. Hopefully, they will learn the past lessons in history. Our Earth’s manifest destiny is total annihilation.
In Alaska there is a school district that will have the Alaska National Guard mentor students from kindergarten through high school. There will be 180 mentors for the students. Students will dress in military uniforms from time to time. School districts or any other learning institutions who accept federal money can be federalized and must encourage students to join the military armed services. To me I see in our country shades of Hitler’s Germany.
As part of the Patriot Act military recruiters are allowed to recruit students at will. They can also federalize schools to recruit students and to have mentors for the students on serving in the military-industrial complex. The Patriot Act can expand this practice to any area. The Patriot Act is slowly federalizing every aspect of American life. By keeping Americans as cannon fodder and mushrooms the Patriot Act has enslaved an entire nation.
The United States of Hell is the leading nation in the cause of unnatural deaths. The weight of our nation’s mortal sins is causing Americans to be dysfunctional and immobile in their thought processes. As American souls enter hell, they will see and read above the gates of hell, “Welcome to the United States of Mortal Sin.” Hell is an extension of America.
I heard a recent homily or sermon for the first time in my life. As a product of a Catholic education I have been thought that it is better to give than to receive. In some ways it is better to give, such as giving to the poor. But, receiving is also important in our lives. It is important to receive the words of Jesus. If we were truly receiving the words of Jesus our world would be a better place. We have serious problems in the country because we have people in the White House, in Congress, and in the Supreme Court who are not receiving the words of Jesus. Since the lunatics in Washington, D.C. are not receiving the words of Jesus, we cannot expect to live in a better America and in a better world. We need to receive the words of Jesus into our heart. You can only give what you have. If we have love, we can give love.
There seems to be a sense that the conservative crazies will control the House and the Senate in 2011. There goes any chance that the Supreme Court will be progressive instead of a conservative controlled activist court. With the conservative crazies takeover we will have to start practicing the goosestep for the Fourth Reich. Diversity in the United States of Sodom and Gomorrah is being extinguished forever in our country and we are being programmed to glorify the Fourth Reich.
Do Americans have a similar DNA as Adolph Hitler? Americans are afflicted with the disease of hatred, corruption, and lies. Most Americans live their adult life in a state of perceptual lies. America is currently functioning as a third world country and as a banana republic. Our eldest son says that America will return to manufactures but the hourly pay level will be that of China. Gerald predicts that there will be no minimum guidelines in the next six to ten years. One dollar an hour will be the maximum rate for most Americans. The reason behind such low wages for the poor and the middle class is we must fund the United States of Mortal Sin endless wars for profit. The profits are going to the American defense companies. The United States of Where Shit Rises to the Top has three objectives in its goal to dominate the world – 1. to control all of the earth’s natural resources, 2. to expand to more United States military bases around the world, and 3. to complete Leo Strauss’ theory that our planet can only sustain five hundred million people.
Karzai fires graft-fighting prosecutor. How many more of America’s finest must die in a corrupt country like Afghanistan? He’s our friend because birds of a feather flock together. If you are a person of hatred, corruption, and lies, America loves you.
I do not recall the exact words but there is a saying about Michigan. “If you seek a beautiful peninsula, just look around you.” I will paraphrase the saying to describe the United States of Hell. “If you seek a hell-hole and a rat-hole, just look around you.”
I remember a clinical psychologist give a speech. He said in each of us there are Jesus and Hitler. There are days when Jesus pulls on us toward Him and there are days when Hitler pulls on us toward him. I say let us live a life that has Jesus pulling on us toward Him all the time.
My spiritual advisor was right. Americans need to repent. Here is another person who believes that repentance is necessary. http://www.tikkun.org/article.php/20100906122213777

About a Two Week Respite
Every so often I require a respite away from my computer. It is difficult being away but very necessary. These past two weeks were extraordinary. My wife is truly an amazing woman. It is amazing how much she loves me.
On two different days she prepared for me a marinated four bean salad. This salad helped to release from me the internal stink that has been building up.
My wife also went to the Asia Mart and purchased two jars of Kim Chee. The Kim Chee was needed in order to flush out the toxicity that has been lodged in my bowels.
I am not a doctor but I do believe that if Americans would purchase a jar of Kim Chee every six weeks or so, there would be less or no constipation in our country. Americans seem to be suffering from a constant state of constipation. I believe the reason for so much obstructionism in our country is because we have too much constipation with Americans. If Americans want to feel like normal human beings, they must add Kim Chee to their diet.
Our politicians would also benefit from Kim Chee because there would be less internal obstruction centered in their bowels as well as less external obstructionism that seems so prevalent with House and Senate members. Toxicity is poison in the bowels that rise to the brain and stinking thinking unfolds among Americans causing continuous discombobulation in their lives. Do not let constipation destroy you and our country! Take the time to flush out your bowels and save America! Our citizens and our politicians would feel better and possibly act more humanely toward each other.
I am trying to do my part in easing the constipation in our country that seems to dominate our daily lives.

Criminey if Obama wants to boost jobs there are simple things he can do. Drop NAFTA and other free trade pacts, raise and enforce tarrifs, restart the CCC, refit our infrastructure, and add to our infrastructure (like hi speed rail, innercity public transportation improvements, etc...).
It aint rocket science... (though if he wants to get into more space exploration, that's fine with me too, more hi tech areospace jobs).

Thom careful about classifying all extremists as Right Wing crazies... the Weather Underground is an excellent example of Left Wing nuttiness. Extremism is a vice enjoyed by all political bents, and its just as dangerous in any hands.
Frankly a Muslem community center being built anywhere is noone's business but those who are building it and those who attend it. America stands for freedom and tolerance, well at least it did.

Where is the proof that tax cuts for billionaires stimulate the economy & create jobs?
If it were so, our economy would be booming and unemployment nil.
It seems to me that tax cuts go directly to the CEO's bottom line.

We need an October surprise to influence the election. With Congress out, it would need to be an executive order. Ideas?

DRichards, who needs proof, that's silly. Your using logic and rationality, not your gut, you got to go with your gut... so long as your gut supports the Corporate Line.

Why is the media covering "Pastor" Terry Jones? Ignore him and his 50-80 followers. Let him self promote and see how many people show up. No, the media will provide a platform for him so he can expand his hatred to a wider audience. Then, the media will hype up violence in the Muslim community. This is a case of the media dictating the news instead of reporting it.

How much do economics professors at the Chicago School of Business make? Look what their free-market quakery has accomplished.

Thom and others need to call these people out; where is the proof? After eight plus years of Bush tax breaks, If the economy isn't booming, and unemployment nil, then it is a falsehood (lie) to say that tax breaks for billionaires stimulates the economy and creates jobs.

Re: Are Liberals smarter?
Perhaps it's because they don't vote against their own best self interest; such as working class stiffs identifying and voting for what benefits billionaires that makes them appear to be smarter ;)
#23
Conservatives like Horowitz are forever complaining, "the press is too liberal," "the TV news is too liberal" and "the universities are too liberal." At the bottom of all these complaints is the truth that the objective facts of our daily existence do not agree with their rightwing ideology. Their problem is that reality itself is too liberal for them.

President Truman said it well: GOP means Guardians Of Privilege.

DRichards, I think Thom does his best to call out the BS of Trickle Down economics. Republicans aren't interested in rationality and logic, they figure if they repeat the lie enough, more and more people will fall for it... unfortunately they're correct.

Actually, i think Afghans USED to be rugs and dogs, but the US press deemed them to be the citizens of Afghanistan. Just like the US press determined the 20th Century would be our one and only 99-year century.

Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
I am calling all Christians to start a day of repentance and atonement. September 9, 2010 is the Jewish day of atonement. We could have such a day before or after the Jewish date or we could have such a date a week earlier or later. Unless the United States of Mortal Sin repents, we will experience everlasting pain and suffering for our many mortal sins.
