Former Air Force Officers: UFOs Tampered With Nuclear Missiles

(Sept. 25) -- Former U.S. Air Force officers and a former enlisted man are about to break many years of silence about an alarming series of UFO encounters at nuclear weapons sites -- incidents officially kept secret for decades.

When the group appears at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Monday, it will offer testimony about events so chilling...

About capital gains tax. Yeah, the argument they always chant is that income invested for capital gains is already taxed as income, so the capital gains shouldn't be taxed.

But one: income from the investment is what is being taxed in capital gains, not the investment itself;

two: the security requirements and demands for infrastructure are so advanced for capital investment, that the government needs the tax to be able to protect the investors' property and integrity of the process of investment.

three: the "right" of workers, owners and investors to "own" property and wealth is completely dependent on the strength of government to ensure it. Without a strong, honest government to protect the rights of owners and investors, they wouldn't have any such right at all.

four: Actually, according to the founders, the right to own property is explicity granted in the Constitution of the United States. The government the Constitution created performs the administrative function of granting that right, on the democratic terms set in an ongoing way by Congress.

fifth: The reason this is necessary is because in nature there is no private ownership. Everything is freely given to the takers. That's why, instead of having a king who owns everything and just doles out benefits to his subjects according to his arbitrary will because he controls the army, we created the Constitution so we the people could administer the rights of ownership, which citizens obtain by taking on obligations on behalf of the government--the people--the sovereign. But the principle is still the same, private ownership is a right granted by the people to those who comply with the laws, the Constitution and the lawful processes of self-government.

That's it. There's no "inherent" right for people to own anything. It comes from the covenenant between sovereign and subject and fluctuates accordingly.

Is the ploy to privatize Social Security an attempt to remove the employers contribution? In essence, that windfall to the employer will result in greater profits and in turn higher dividends to shareholders.

Thom, your Higgins vet story reminds me of a almost identical incident I had with a cat I had a long time ago. My wife and I had a black female cat, Veronica, and we took her into the vet. Now this cat had the habit of being very friendly, rubbing her head and body on a outstreched hand for about 30 seconds or so, basically luring her victim into a false sense of calm. Then wham claws and teeth. We knew this of her, and when we let her out of her carrier for the vet, she started doing this with the vet. We warned the vet, "Careful, she's just getting your guard down, she's going to attack your hand", "Oh no", replied the vet, "she's a very sweet kitty, she wouldn't do that..." wham, "...OK put her back in her carrier!" We tried warning her, but the vet didn't want to listen to us. You know if the vet had witnessed this cat trying to lunge through her cage door to get at the menacing Doberman in the lobby, instantly aquiring the moniker from the dogs owner of "Killer Kitty", perhaps she would have been better prepared.

Don't ask me why this cat had such attitude, her mother was my cat, she had always been treated well, and fed well. My only guess would be a bit of a Siamese bloodline, and three brother kitties that played rough with her. Her mother had a similar attitude, but she was far more docile with me personally because I had pretty much been her surogate mother from the age of about two weeks (my best guess, she was found by my boss on the road and he rescued her). Her mother, didn't pull the tricks Veronica did, but she would sit on the top of a bookcase and swipe at peoples heads that passed near. Cats do indeed have strong personalities, and where they get them is anyone's guess.

How vile and despicable war seems to me! I would rather be hacked to pieces than take part in such an abominable business.

Gerald’s comments are coming to you from his hideaway bunker deep inside enemy territory. He is a man without a country.

Dear Thom Hartmann Commentators,

I face my remaining days – unable to wipe away the tears from my eyes.

Americans must overcome their state of denial and begin to realize that our nation is evil, vile, and wicked. The soul of America and the souls of her citizens are damned because America and her citizens have turned their backs on God.

I see the collapse of America through her decline in morality.

It’s official. The United States is a police state.

The United States plans to be at war for one hundred years. For the rich persons and for rich American corporations endless wars are good for business and for profits. Wars are embedded into the American psyche.

I doubt if the grief that is within me for my country will ever go away. I will go to my death a sad person who left this life broken in spirit. In the end may I have a merciful God as my judge!

Here is a paragraph from Mr. Green's article.

I remain haunted to this day by the words of John le Carré, written on the eve of the Bush invasion of Iraq: "America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War".

I have ripped on Obama but he is the person who needs a Congress with Democrats supporting the American people. Why do we have to be a nation that has to choose the lesser of two evils???
