So as we advance to the election of 2012, President Obama believes that our broken immigration system can only be fixed by putting politics aside and offering a complete solution that secures our border, enforces our laws, and reaffirms our heritage as a nation of immigrants. This sounding much like a water-downed political statement ... A wish in the political polarized world of the Obama Presidency would be hard to meet ... He believes our immigration policy should be driven by our best judgment of what is in the economic interest of the United States and what is in the best interest of the American worker. President Obama recognizes that an orderly, controlled border and an immigration system designed to meet our economic needs are important pillars of a healthy and robust economy. And the following is the means by which the President intended to accomplish his policy goal 1) Strengthen Border Control President Obama promised to protect the integrity of our borders by investing in additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at our ports of entry. 2) Improve Our Immigration System President Obama promised to fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and enable legal immigration so that families can stay together. 3) Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally President Obama promised to remove incentives to enter the country illegally by preventing employers from hiring undocumented workers and enforcing the law. 4) Bring People Out of the Shadows President Obama announced support of a system that allowed undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens. 5) Work with Mexico President Obama promised to promote economic development in Mexico to decrease the economic desperation that leads to illegal immigration... But how are you going to keep the Companies down on the farm in Mexico so to speak when China beckons with the incentive of lower wages and higher profits? Sadly, as we begin the new year 2012 terrorists would like nothing more than to strike our nation again and again; and Israel continues to be targeted for destruction by Arab renegade nations despite the peace it made with the new nation created on its west bank. Then too, the world is still focused on the continuing weakness of the present economic situation globally. Therefore the Obama Administration still bonded with former Clinton Administration financial expertise seeks to walk to the tune of “It’s the economy stupid.” Unfortunately, the Obama Administrations long jib has not yet found continuous fair weather. For Barrack Obama even the simple task of resigning his U.S. Senate seat to allow him to consecrate solely on his transition to office was a source of grief as disgraced Illinois Governor Blagojevitch thought it was time to play Chicago politics himself by selling the seat to the one who made the best offer. Timing is all-important and remarkably Obama did not show the wisdom to hold off his necessary resignation until the Electoral College, which met the first Monday after the second Wednesday or December 15, 2008, had formally ratified his election. Scuttlebutt is that the fallout from this affair almost unseated his top aide Rahm Emmauel and others because of stories related to their roles they played in the Blagojevich affair. But as we enter 2012 Emmanuel is already gone as well as many members of his original economic team. With this being said, we direct attention to the 2012 Presidential Election Campaign -----In 2012 four presidential debates were scheduled ------ The first in Nairobi, Kenya.... The second in Caracas, Venezuela ... The third in Teheran, Iran and the Fourth in Jakarta, Indonesia ... The debates are supervised by the United Nations Commission on political debates which supervises all elections of its member nations by a Treaty initialed in November 2010 and passed by the Democrat Party Controlled Senate in the United States during a lame duck session late in 2010 almost without debate. Of course, one proviso of the Treaty is that member nations must make all citizens whether Natural born or naturalized eligible to run for the highest office of that country . A Second Proviso provides that signatories of the Treaty must provide for open borders, meaning that we all are citizens of the world and should be allowed to live where we want ...The exception to the case being political dissidents within that country who may be forced to exit the country despite being citizens if their words and actions violate any Fairness Doctrine established by that government. The Third Proviso is to allow all residents in a community to vote whether citizens or not. The goal of this treaty is to create an atmosphere for Unity rather then division. But the obvious that advantage in any election goes to the party that can bring the most undocumented voters to the polls on election day and the message inherent in the Treaty is do it my way or take a hike. Incidentally, the sites of 2012 Presidential Debates are the summer, winter, spring and fall White Houses of Incumbent President Barrack Hussein Obama. Fact is, the main White House in Washington D.C., now referred to as the Ayers House, is rarely visited now a days since the Congressional elections of 2010 except for Official purposes as the Obama Administration in a sense of fairness and equality rented it out to a community organization formerly named ACORN to provide affordable housing for low and moderate income people despite the fact that ACORN activities were highly questioned by the cable media and a reactive Congress ... The same is the case for the governments Maryland Hideaway once called Camp David but now called Camp Jeremiah Wright. The President took this action after the tainted Congressional elections of 2010. That election representing a great victory for the Democratic-Obama Party except most races were close with the Obama Party successful 100% of the time in Congressional and Senatorial districts where recounts were mandated by State law or petitioned for by Obama Candidates. Experts, who like to remain unnamed, claim that Obama candidates benefited from thousands of votes that suddenly appeared after Election Day. Some experts even go as far as saying that the alleged Obama Party voters actually realized the old political axiom of voting early and often with the added conundrum of voting late as well. Richard Daley, the former Chicago Mayor in the 60”s that helped elect John Kennedy with questionable amount of cemetery votes in Cook County, would be most proud. President Barrack Hussein Obama if he had a choice would prefer to govern from his Kentwood/Hyde Park Mansion in Chicago, Illinois when he is in the United States anyway. Some say he would like to move the Executive capital of the United States to Chicago as well. The logic of this is that this would have allowed his young daughters to stay in Chicago to attend school and also remain in contact with their best friends from school. The only change to that situation would be that U.S. government secret service agents are constantly around to make sure their teachers and fellow student would treat them well. Clearly, it's perfectly appropriate (and understandable) that the Obama's – and nearly 40% of the U.S. Congress – have decided that the Washington D.C. public school system isn't the best fit for their children, and have chosen another option And Indeed --- It would have been harder for the secret service to operate and provide protection for the Obama children in a Washington D.C. public school which is part of the nation's worst-performing public systems academically, and also, are among the most dangerous in the country. While there is nothing wrong with choosing to avoid such a system (most parents would), Obama and members of Congress we are told are currently trying to shut down a D.C. academic scholarship program that is providing a similar "way out" for 1,700 low-income Washington students...If true --- what a pity that is happening on Obama's watch. According to the school's website, Sidwell Friends seeks "academically talented students of diverse cultural, racial, religious and economic backgrounds," providing them with a "rich and rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum designed to stimulate creative inquiry, intellectual achievement and independent thinking in a world increasingly without borders." Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton (and Vice President Al Gore) also made the choice to enroll their children at Sidwell. ... The fact is, an international crisis as predicted by Vice President Joe Biden had occurred within six months of his inauguration as President and nobody could contact him because he and his wife Michelle either had a parent- teacher conference or were on one of their private date episodes. The much-maligned former President George W. Bush in an unusual move had provided the Obama Transition team with contingent plans how the new President could respond at the onset of crisis. The outgoing Clinton Administration left behind no such contingencies at the time of its departure and its young staff showed some immaturity by thrashing the West Wing of the White House and removing the letters W off computers. As it developed, many of these former White House staffers returned to former or similar positions in the West Wing and, former Bush staffers did not return the favor by doing to their successors as their predecessors did to them. But the truth is that the new old guys in the block so hated George Bush the younger that in the first days of the Obama Administration they threw a party in which it was reported that shoes were thrown at the effigy of the former President. One may question that these presidential debates were outsourced from American soil ... But the truth is President Barrack Hussein Obama had insisted that the first Presidential debate of 2012 be held in Nairobi near Obama's ancestral home and the summer White House. This, of course, would be an historic event, the first time an American Presidential debate would be held outside the political borders of the United States... Which was, renamed in 2011 the Democrat States of the Obama Nation? The fact is the cult of Obama's personality and charisma did in fact overwhelm the nation to the dismay of the dissident Republican Party, which remains shell shocked by it setbacks in all election cycles since 2006 despite the fact that the personal popularity of the President has declined drastically over his polices... But apparently what the public thinks and how it is reflected in votes is something else . Allentown, PA Congressman Charles Dent who had survived the American voter retreat from Republican candidates in a Democratic State was elected Republican Party Minority Leader in 2010, complains that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has assigned the Republican Caucus to a room the size of a janitor's closet. To which Pelosi responded: "That's where all Republicans and vocal critics to this government should go: In the Closet." It also should be noted that having the debate in Nairobi would allow Obama's 91-year-old grandmother to see the debate live and increase the local sale of Obama Beer by tailgaters. Additionally, Obama honored the insistence of Kenya's President Kbaki's and Kenya's Prime Minister Raial Odinga's request that he provide enhanced U.S investment to the development of Kenya and East Africa. Yes indeed, many 24-hour basketball Courts, Track Marathon training facilities and the Summer White House was built to aid the Kenyan and East African economies. ... A gracious Obama even allows his half-brother to work as a servant in the Summer White House ... But his Aunt in Boston now granted legal status in the Obama nation still remains in public housing. Of interest, Prime Minister Odinga is Obama's Liu tribal cousin, Odinga in 2007 had run for the Presidency of Kenya against Kbaki on a platform of Change ... Odinga's hotly contested and close loss to Kbaki resulted in months of violence in normally peaceful Kenya. To stem this violence and create unity, Kbaki offered Odinga the Prime Ministership. A coalition of rivals to speak … Something Obama picked upon in his appointments despite his references to Abraham Lincoln. Keith Obberman, of the former MSNBC cable news network, now renamed the Obama Broadcasting Company, and an Obama partisan, was named the moderator of the debate Obama's surprise opponent is Dennis Kennethsson, a former steelworker, substitute teacher, umpire and neighborhood leader. He arose from nowhere to offer a serious challenge to Obama incredibly defeating Arnold Schwartzenegger, Hillary Clinton, Ralph Nader, Dick Cheney. Al Gore and William Jefferson Clinton for the right to be a Challenger to Obama. Be it noted --- by virtue of the U.N. Treaty the 2012 election cycle has come to resemble more or less the rules of an America's cup challenge.... No longer are there Democratic or Republican Party primaries or Conventions ... There is simply the incumbent bracket and the Challenger bracket ... As sitting President, Barrack Obama had a free ride into the General Election if he decided to run again ... Only he was allowed to organize a Citizens Convention to nominate him by acclamation and establish a new platform for the 2012 campaign. But for the challengers they had to run a grueling primary campaign in all 52 states plus the capital Washington D.C. Puerto Rico combined with the U.S. Virgin Islands had become a state in 2010. Guam combined with American Samoa had become a state in 2011.It was through the 2009 United Nations Treaty that Schwartzenegger a naturalized citizen was allowed to run for President. And notably, William Jefferson Clinton was allowed to run for President for a nonconsecutive Third Term by the same treaty if he chose to run. By a skin of his teeth, dark horse candidate Dennis Kennethsson from Pennsylvania overcame his opponents and quickly invited all his opponents to be part of his Presidential campaign team.... The second place finisher Hillary Clinton, despite her early role in the Obama Administration as Secretary of State resigned to run for President but ended up becoming the Vice Presidential Candidate according to the rules of the Challenger primaries. Ophrah Winfrey replaced the former first lady of Arkansas and the United States and former New York senator as Secretary of State in the Obama Administration. Kennethsson, in truth, would have preferred to have a different running mate other than Clinton. But rules being as they were, he accepted her as his running mate ... But the question lingered among what remained of the free press, would Clinton and Kennethsson be able to join a close common front to campaign effectively against Obama and Joe Biden. Some say Kennethsson would have better accepted Sarah Palin as his running mate who had announced suddenly on July 3, 2009 that she would resign the Governorship of Alaska to take on a larger, national role, citing a "higher calling" to unite the country along conservative lines. Palin portrayed her resignation as a selfless choice done for the good of Alaskans. She said they will now be free of the expensive and distracting — and she said bogus — ethics inquiries generated by her new prominence. “Some Alaskans, maybe they don’t mind wasting public dollars and state time, but I do,” she said But reporter Gordon Gordonsson suggests that all this was the Democratic Party's strategy to hem in a politician they regarded as a challenger to their power in 2012 ... Some suggest that what transpired was an example of Chicago politics exported to Alaska that Obama's Chief of Staff Emmanuel excels in. Said Sarah Palin on her Facebook Page a few days later: "I am now looking ahead and (to) how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," The reality was for Kennethsson that he had no say where the Presidential debates were to be held because the United Nations which sanctioned the debates operated on the terms that the Champion had the right to determine the terms and location of all future person to person debates with the Challenger. And Obama, as incumbent President made all the decisions on this matter. As you know, airline and mass transportation operations have been highly regulated and controlled in the Obama Nation. Apologists for the Administration freely admit that this provides obstacles for the free movement of the American public and commerce throughout the country. Spur of the moment short-haul or long-haul trips without the knowledge of government watchdogs are highly discouraged. They maintain that such security measures are necessary both for homeland security purposes and also for the sake of fairness and economic equality for the lower and moderate income people , No longer could the average American take spur of the minute trips anywhere. American citizens are required to get permission from the quality of life Commission to receive a special passport to travel to other regions of the Country whether by personal transportation or mass and to receive security clearances to travel aboard.... This procedure constituting a contradiction with the UN Treaty, which allowed non-citizens to pour through all borders, at will. These stipulations apply to everyone with the exception being the President; members of his Administration, and Congressional leaders. Even the heads of major U.S. banks and industrial concerns whose assets had been quietly nationalized after a series pork barrel loaded and costly economic stimulus packages were bound to these new rules and changes as to how America did business.. . It even applied to Alaska’s former Governor Sarah Palin who in some cases had to use a dog sled to get out of Alaska and go down to the Lower 48 States only to have her trek complicated by both Canadian and American Customs. To use Pennsylvania Dutch Vernacular: “I never seen the like of it to receive a former Soviet Union like Internal passport to travel within my own country, such a betrayal of the commerce clause and individual rights portions of the U.S. Constitution.” Sarah Palin, in fact, wanted to run for President in 2012 but leaks coming out of Russia indicated that Energy People in the Obama Administration considered making a deal to sale Alaska back to Russia if Palin ran for President. Palin, of course, has been an advocate of developing Alaska’s Oil and Gas resources to benefit both the Alaskan and American Economy and still is popular with those who were not in agreement with the Obama nation despite resigning the Alaskan Governorship in 2009. However, the U.S. Energy people since day one of the Obama Administration opposed such expanded oil and gas drilling in Alaska as inconsistent with their energy plans. Even if these Alaskan resources were brought into the U.S. through pipelines running through Canada. These same energy people decried the import of Canadian Shale Oil as well because its need for additional refinement then oil and gas imported from elsewhere… But ironically, if Russia bought back Alaska to help balance the U.S. budget and pay off some of our national debt thus gaining in the process control of these resources, the Obamaite Energy people would open the doors and lay a red carpet for this Russian-Alaskan raw sources. This being part of the strange decision making coming from those who are sworn to uphold American interests. The decision-making began when the government of Kyrgyzstan in February 2009 announced that U.S. Forces would be ordered out of the Manas air base within 6 months by a decree by Kyrgyzstan President Kurmanbek Bakiyev that stunned the new Obama Administration and drew suspicion that Kyrgyzstan was acting under the influence of Russia, which staunchly opposed Western military presence near its borders. The Americans had used the base in Kyrgyzstan to ship military hardware and troops crucial to operations in Afghanistan. And of course, the value of the continued operation of the Afghanistan base increased especially in the light of the Obama Administration decision to increase the level of American troops deployed to Afghanistan; and additionally due to the destruction and sabotage of supply lines in Western Pakistan flowing to Eastern Afghanistan by increased Taliban and insurgent activities in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Many believed that Moscow’s strategy was to force the Americans to create a longer supply line to Afghanistan from Russia that would require the Americans to keep Moscow in the loop for Afghanistan decisions. Moscow for the longest time felt that it had the right to exert its influence in the Central Asia Steppe region and it was adverse to America having more influence there then Moscow. Of interest, Russia, too, had a base in Kyrgyzstan, which was one of the Republics in the former Soviet Union before its break-up. Of interest, just a short time before the Kyrgyzstan 's governments announcement, Moscow had given that government a $2 billion loan But as it happened, on June 24, 2009 Kyrgyzstan reached a deal with the U.S that would allow the American base to remain open and continue to be used by U.S. forces to transport weaponry and ammunition. A much-needed boost to the U.S.-led coalition as it ramped up its military operations against Taliban and al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan. Why the reversal of position by the Kyrgyzstan government? The answer laid in the cost for the American use of the base ... When the issue emerged the annual rent for the Manas base in Kyrgyzstan was $17.4 million ... Hereafter, the Americans had to pay three times more in order to play. Analysts, said at the time Russia, grudgingly accepted the agreement in the hope of U.S. concessions on issues that have badly strained its relations with Washington — such as NATO’s possible expansion eastward and a planned U.S. missile defense complex in central Europe. “Reaching this agreement is, of course, Kyrgyzstan’s sovereign right,” said a Russian Foreign Ministry statement released after the deal was announced... But should we literally buy into those words. In the case of Kennethsson, despite being a candidate for President, permission to attend the Nairobi debate did not come ...The official reason was that Kennethsson had applied too late for an exit visa …But the truth is, Kennethsson applied for the visa in plenty of time. Simply stated – a person loyal to Obama in the Immigration Bureau conveniently delayed processing of the application to benefit Obama politically. Some say, to avoid detection, the same individual hid the application in the glove department of his private vehicle. Therefore like a refugee Kennethsson and his chief aides Neil Browne, Bill Major, Ed Leskin and Dr. Mike D’Amore had to acquire a Kodiak Raft to navigate down the Lehigh River into the Delaware River at Easton Pennsylvania, continue the wonderful journey down the Delaware River to the Delaware Bay where they secretly went on board a sloop headed out to the open seas beyond the 200 mile U.S territorial to secretly board a larger boat headed for the Azores. At the Azores, Kennethsson and his small staff finally could catch a plane to Nairobi, Kenya. Oddly, the quartet that traveled with Kennethsson seemed more oriented with the politics of Obama than Kennethsson. But Kennethsson noted that he maintained radio contact with a quartet of aides back home that were more attuned to the political values expressed by radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. ... Innately, Kennethsson knew how to steer the proper course after digesting the contradicting opinions of both sides ... Despite their support for Obama, Kenyan officials had to accept the entry of Kennethsson into their country by virtue of the 2009 UN Treaty. Obama was a bit annoyed by Kennethsson showing up but for his image he accepted knowing that there would be talk about an unfair voting cycle or a rigged voting cycle if Kennethsson could not participate in the debate as Challenger. … Indeed, an empty chair would get more negative attention then he desired. Just the same, Obama grumbled to his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel why the Coast Guard was not able to intercept the five men in the tub before they left U. S. territorial waters. Ophrah Winfrey who was also there, whispered to Emmanuel: “ Maybe they used a stealth tub." Offering a second opinion, Vice President Biden stone panned: "Maybe, Kennethsson's four Obama sympathizers' confused the Coast Guard radar screen." Said Emmanuel: “Very funny...Very Funny... That's hilarious ... Ralph Cramden would say, I going to send you to the moon , Alice." Replied Obama: " We can't do that, there is far too much risk in manned space flight." In analysis, the impetus of Kennethsson's charge from nowhere was the Obama's party nationalization of the 401 K and Keough./IRA plans by placing these assets in the Social Security System's alleged independent trust which really doesn't exist to make an appearance of firming up and making the fund sound to quell the fears of pensioners... The concern was indeed there as both the Republican and Democratic parties had raided the Social Security Trust Fund to pay certain government expenditures. The first to do it was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic Controlled Congress during the Great Society and the practice has been continued by both parties ever since. Additionally, out of concern of lost tax revenues due to 401 K and Keough/IRA tax credits, Democratic Committeemen sought to tie-in these credits to income levels. This would be the case for new clients of 401 K plans as well as older clients of the same plans. Apparently the rest of the nation can now understand the Native American complaint that the Great Diverse fathers and mothers in Washington speak with a forked tongue. Which means that no one can trust that any governmental program will actually be in tack when the younger members of the plans actually get to the age they can tap it. In October, 2008, U.S. Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee and U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee's Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support entertained proposals that would tax 401(k) plans. Both held hearings laying the groundwork for future legislation that could eliminate most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that investors receive by placing their money in the $3 trillion 401(k) system. The plan, which may serve as a model for this change, is by Prof. Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York. It is similar in ways to some European systems. "Actually there are two plans, said Prof. Ghilarducci, "a short-term one and a long-term one. As part of the bailout, I would include a provision for individuals to be able to swap their 401(k) s at its August 2008 value for special issue government bonds paying 3 percent plus inflation." When asked about the terms of the bonds, which she calls "Guaranteed Retirement Accounts" Prof. Ghilarducci remarked that no one ever asked that question. After thinking about it, she said the terms would be the social security eligibility date of the owner. So what this means is, someone making over a certain threshold in their income cannot adjust their tax statement to pay taxes on income after throwing money into a 401k. Under our current system, if you make $100k a year, you put $10k into a 401k, and then you get taxed at $90k a year. The debate then was, even if you put that same money into 401k, you still would get taxed at the $100k a year. This is a classic example of imputed income tax. Taxing you on something that is considered of value even if you don't actually spend it at that time. The real kicker is, you still get taxed on this money in your 401k when you retire and start drawing down on that retirement account. This is called double taxation. The plan was passed by the Democratic-controlled congress and signed into law by President Barrack Obama. Upon signing the bill, Obama joked: “when I was a member of the Illinois and U.S. Senates, I could vote present on any bill I didn’t want to record. Well ladies and gentlemen eventhough I approve this bill, interpret my signature as recording that I am present rather then signing this bill.” Teresa Ghilarducci, an economics professor at The New School for Social Research in New York, at that time offered this assessment for retirement accounts." Congress should let workers trade their 401(k) assets for guaranteed retirement accounts made up of government bonds. When workers collected Social Security, the guaranteed retirement account would pay an inflation- adjusted annuity under her plan. The way the government now encourages 401(k) plans is to spend $80 billion in tax breaks, which goes to the highest-income earners. That simply results in transferring money from taxed savings accounts to untaxed accounts. " The problem here is when passed the government did not just let workers do it they made it mandatory from day one. What she proposed was that the tax subsidy be eliminated completely. In its place everyone gets a $600 federal income tax credit. This would benefit those who make less. But in the case of the aforementioned example, while people making $40,000 a year would see a net gain; people earning $60,000 per year would experience a net loss. A tax increase by Democrats on those making $60,000 per year would not be in line with the their presidential nominee U.S. Sen. Barrack Obama's pledge to only increase taxes on those making $250,000 per year. To state it again in another way, we had Democratic Congressmen who wanted to buy-out personal 401K investments, at their worth in August 2008. They would be willing to give 3% interest annually. That would have compensated for Barrack Obama's phantom tax cut on the 95% of Americans including credits for those who pay no taxes. It was a control factor. CONTROL. That is the government will provide.... Now they want to take what Americans have saved and gain control, demand a minimum of 5% deduction from the paycheck, control it and use it to replenish the Social Security System, or rather in lieu of it. What has happened to all the monies paid to SS? Now they are saying, basically, because they have screwed up, we paid the money, they gambled our money through the years, and now they want to take more. WE PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY. To sum all this up: 1) Social security or government retirement accounts hardly ever adjust properly for inflation. When you introduce inflation like our government has, it lessons their responsibility to pay true inflationary rates on government pensions and social security. To better put it, they pay less for their promises. 2) Not taxing someone on the money they introduce into their 401k doesn't mean you still don't collect tax revenue. The tax revenue is just delayed until that person withdraws it at a later time. Usually you get greater tax gains by letting the 401k grow into bigger earnings. 3) The government bond annuity that proponents for the plan suggested would never keep up like a regular annuity. 4) This is basic class warfare. Anyone effected by this will out smart the government and hide this money into accounts that probably will leave the US. That means this is money not invested back into our economy, not creating jobs or enhancing productivity. 5) To compare this proposal to our social security system means it will become a ponzi scheme for our government to borrow off of. This means that the money collected will just end up paying current obligations. The program would go bankrupt. Stated Obberman to begin the debate: "Mr. Kennethsson. I personally don't think you are qualified to be dogcatcher, neighborhood leader, yet alone President. You are a mischievous autistic rat that seeks to take back the nation and restore the United States of America from the Man. Why are you insulting or wasting the time of this nation's subjects, I mean public, by challenging the Nobel Peace prize winner, the Emperor, I mean the President. By the way how did you get here anyway? I bet it will be more difficult for you then an illegal alien to get back into the country! Replied Kennethsson: "If I interpret the question correctly ... You are really questioning my audacity and my boldness to Challenge the President. Offered Obberman: Yes, I am, That is a very negative thing to do ... That's very disruptive to the unity the Emperor, I mean, the President is trying to encourage a different kind of society. Stated Kennethsson: "What a Freudian slip you just made." An angered Obbermman said: " Stop it, you slime ball. You definitely need to under-go the re-education process." Replied Kennethsson: “So sorry, Are you talking about the Guantanomo Bay Re-Education Center that replaced the Detainment Center for Terrorist Combatants who were usually Islamic? Who else will join me there? Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Bobby Gunther Walsh , Karl Rowe, and Joe Lieberman. I guess that Michael Moore or George Seros won’t be there. … A calm Kennethsson continued in confidence: " I can assure you that despite my advanced age of 65 and admitted lack of governing experience in Washington, D. C. Harrisburg, PA, Lehigh County, PA and Allentown, PA that I am ready to be President. Why? I possess the common sense, intuitive intelligence to digest new data, correlate and combine it with older data to create a general perception of what the problem is or what is happening to make a decision that would be right to handle the given situation. Additionally, I would continue to monitor the situation least fine tuning be needed to the decision on target or on mark ... The fact is, I don't engage in fine sounding rhetoric or oratory just to confuse as some do. It is not in my make-up to be a mastermind of confusion, misinformation or destructive transformation.... As Santayana Said: 'Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it' ... And I add, those who seek to hide the past have something to hide." Said Obberman: Don't you believe in sharing the wealth? Said Kennethsson: " I prefer Jesus Christ to Karl Marx ... And none of the land distribution policy of Robert Mugabee --- Thank you... An impatient Obama chimed in: " But I offer change, I. I ... I think you will like my change. But before he could say more, the President could not constrain his smoker’s cough … A by-product of many years of off and on smoking … Once the cough subsided, the President put into his mouth a nicotine coated gum stick. An amused Kennethsson replied: "You said change. Did I hear you say change? Maybe people want a change from you? Change can be good, surprising, bad or disastrous...What have you brought us? A push toward a debilitating Socialistic society. If you get re-elected what will you offer us ... More of the same or not .. Will you accelerate the programs that have caused me to run against you or will you change your course and repudiate them? The main-line media in 2008 never truly questioned whether Obama had enough experience to be President. They simply thought of him as the one who would deliver the nation from George Walker Bush ... The skillful orator cast in the image of JFK ... The movie star who worked efficiently for youthful votes. The demi-God whom had what it took to be our deliverer. Now in the year 2012 we see the outcome and sadly we see a failed Presidency.... Once elected in 2008 we gave him the opportunity to be successful ...We wished him to be successful ... But he is not successful…. Our industry is still in the pits and in some communities grocery stores are bought out of all its fresh food shortly after the truck that brought it leaves… That’s not the America I was born and raised in. That’s the America that has descended from its height of prosperity to the one of third world doldrums. An America that is in the sight-hair of regulations imposed by the new global Financial Stability Board. Replied Obama: " Give what we did time to mature. We delayed what we wanted to do because of what George Bush left us ... I said at the beginning we wouldn't accomplish what we planned to do in the first 100 days, the first year or the first term ... But we will get to the mountaintop with more time.... We will get to the Mountaintop and see the Promised Land. From the mountaintop I will go down into the Promised Land and see our plan of change mature for the benefit of the American people. ... Interrupted Obberman:" Mr. Kennethsson, can’t you see how deleterious your challenge is to the success of the change that the Emperor, I mean Obama so stresses. Asserted Kennethsson: " I am questioned ... I am doubted ... I am condemned ... Nevertheless, I pursue and continue the fight. I do not retreat as I do not hear the trumpet ... If I prevail my election will not be considered as historic as Obama's election. But just the same my election will produce an earthquake in the minds of men ... Whereas the policies of Obama when fully implemented will turn Americans into subjects and serfs my election will make Americans citizens again. Thus be it ever where Freemen shall stand between their beloved homes and the War's desolation ... Blessed with victory and peace, may we offer praise to the power that has both created and preserved a nation... Conquer we must, when our cause it is just...And Let this be our motto, in God do we Trust; And the Stars and Stripes in triumph shall wave over the land of the free and brave.... And I add not a land of people who are controlled, are subject to extreme political correctness and the afraid. An annoyed Obbermman replied: No more political garbage from you ... I am finished with you. Replied Kennethsson: You are a fine example of objective journalism. Said Obberman: Mr. Kennethsson, these are seditious words - You should be arrested on the spot. Replied Kennethsson: "Are the words of the 4th Stanza of the Stars Spangles Banner seditious ...Arrest me if you wish. But that would make a mockery out of the Bill of Rights... Let it be noted that the President before he was President stated his annoyance with the negative provisions of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which deprived the federal government and other government of from taking control of our lives. Do you want your life completely controlled by the government? Do you want to live your life as a Plantation hand? The President interrupted: Hey there man, Are you trying to bring up Ayers, Wright. Pleigger and the rest again... Replied Kennethsson: I didn't say a word ... You did. Continued Kennethsson: " Politically there is a time one must throw tea into the bay or river and this may be the time ... There is a time to take away the sleeping bag from the sleepers. And this may be the time... Vigilance is the watchword... Those who sleep must be awakened.... If you have become Goliath, I am David and this is why I stand before you in battle ... Most importantly, I don't think that the voters in 2008 voted for the end of the American Republic, the Suspension of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the start of the new American Empire called Obama nation with the President accorded the honor of an Emperor, movie star and demi-God... Moderator Obbermman, who broke down in frustration, was replaced by another MSNBC, that is Obama Broadcasting Commentator, Senator in his dreams Chris Matthews. Stated Matthews: “Mr. Kennethsson, I don’t think you are winning the debate tonight… What can you say to make it not so? Stated Kennethsson: Are you kidding! Obama has said very little tonight … it has been me; myself and I that has been under attack tonight. Interrupted Mathews: “ Strategy, my pinhead err whatever, Obama has said more in silence then you can ever say. I still have a tinkling feeling for him in my legs even after almost four years of power…. Did I mention I had thoughts of becoming a Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania to replace Arlen Specter? Of course, that was before, the ancient one, decided to change his political stripes seeking political preservation. But that didn't help him much as the movement of time brought the more youthful and forced the more ancient out. Replied Kennethsson: “ So sorry, I am not Vaspuchian’s monkey and I have not prayed to the three monkeys lately. That is, see no evil, hear no evil or say no evil. I pay deference to President Obama solely because he is President, but I do not place the President’s symbol on any part of my body let alone my forehead as Obama’s community service legion does. … Obama is a clever leader, but where his ship of state is taking us I have no idea even now except my intuition tells me that his course is not towards fair weather that more often then not he stirs the ship of state toward inclement weather rather then avoiding it or conquering it. Calm as he is Obama prefers the state of crisis Obama mutters; “ Not true! not true! , not true!.” Retorts Mathews: “Well said, Mr. President. It seems that Mr. Kennethsson does not share or appreciate your vision “ Stated Kennethsson: “Mr. Mathews, “The fact is, even in Obama’s rule injustice still exists, his vision does have faults that stand uncorrected and unchallenged by many; the wise men he selected to carry out his vision did not undo or correct this vision; then too, the award winning scholars he selected to carry out the vision. Did not conspire to undo or correct this vision; and you know, neither did the philosophers he selected to carry out the vision operated to undo or correct this vision either … So there we have, All the President’s team worked hard to carry out the President’s vision, but like the King’s men for Humpty Dumpy, they could not completely put our economy back together again. Indeed the economy has gained somewhat, but there still remain cracks in the shell that will never accommodate the rosy vision of Obama because this vision does have its faults and these faults will not set the economy free to prosper. Obama again mutters: “Give me time, Give me time, Give me time. My vision will be done!” Replied Mathews: “ I know that Mr. President … The American people I think will come to understand that. But that person over there is a nonbeliever, an infidel to your philosophy He is creating a lot of tension for you … Is there a place we can take him to give him some sort of re- education … Maybe, Guantanomo. Replied Obama: “ Rahm would you look into that? Retorted Kennethsson: “Who else would be there with me … Sarah Palin? The non-repented Supreme Court Justices, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and rest of the Conservative talk hosts. . Moderates … You should understand that I take the approach of Creative Tension to force the President to acknowledge those who are the new victims of his Obama style injustice. … Indeed I take the nonviolent approach to resolving this injustice of whatever kind. . Does Obama recognize that my approach is rooted in respect for all people regardless of their sex, race, ethnicity or station in life, and takes a clear firm nonviolent stand against all injustice as Martin Luther King did? … However, even in taking this creative tension approach there are behaviors that human being promote that are not within the law no matter how we loosely interpret it. Replied Matthews: “ You don’t say … Now Mr. Kennethsson, I am bothered by the fact you haven’t accepted campaign finance money … is that unfair to President Obama.” Stated Kennethsson: Why is that unfair? He did not accept the check-off money in 2008 and he has not accepted it this year again. The former Democratic Party that promoted it now neglects the same campaign tool the Party wanted to use to level the playing field against Republican candidates. How interesting is that! Interrupted Obama: “The the the point is, the era of Obama was supposed to be the second era of good feeling in America. Where the parties would unite in a single purpose, become one … Where conservatives, moderates would buy into liberal principles and become transformed and enlightened under my leadership and vision … Your candidacy was just supposed to be a token one At the moment it seems more then a token. How do you explain this? Replied Kennethsson: “ So sorry. A token I am not … I am for real… I do this for the American people not me … Does that sound familiar? And when you hear the bell ring at the conclusion of Election Day … Start packing for the transition to a new administration will begin. Oh that’s right, you never really moved into the White House, did you? Interrupted Obama: I can’t let that happen … My work is not finished … Like Mayor Bloomberg in New York I want to serve a third term as President after this term. Interrupted Kennethsson: “A third term, how interesting. So you want to cross the Rubicon … when do you seek to be crowned? Interrupted Obama: “ Well, I never been so insulted. I never. What is wrong with us becoming more like Europe, with a welfare state and social safety net that would allow the vast majority of its citizens to enjoy the benefits of a developed, high-income economy. When Medicare and Medicaid were enacted in 1965, it was widely believed that insuring the elderly and the poor, respectively, were just the first steps toward universal health insurance. We never got there Interrupted Kennethsson: “ So you would like us to become more like Europe. That is your call if you remain President. But the probability is that you won’t. And it will be my call. Let’s look at the facts in regard to Social Security: >Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) > didn't know this. > > Be sure and show it to your kids.

Which is interesting to me because my Grandmother, bless her soul, never received a cent of Social Security because her husband a businessmen who died in the late 1930’s never paid into the system. And my grandmother who was alive in the Carter Administration never was accorded the privileges that was accorded to immigrants who never paid into the system and who were over sixty- five.

Offered Kuric: “ Mr. Kennethsson, It is said that you own land on the Moon … isn’t that crazy. Isn’t that strange. When was the last time you visited your property; and how much did it cost you? Replied Kennethsson: Is that a gotcha question? Replied Obama: Answer the question. Replied Kennethsson: I have a deed that claims to transfer me one acre of moon property in which I call Steelworkers Bay. It appears to be a legal transfer but until men return to the Moon and establish authority one can not be certain that the one who transferred the property had legal rights to do so, But apparently that person does have the paperwork to prove it. No, I have not been to the site … the transportation necessary to get me there is either non-existent or too expensive. The price I paid was very cheap and I won’t feel I was bamboozled if the deed proves to be of no value because as a gimmick item it is very neat and cool … I do believe in the space faring civilization and its slogan Ad Astra. And it would be nice to preside, as President while equipment to take us back to the Moon and beyond is being developed and built. The Obama defunct Project Constellation didn't anticipate America’s return to the Moon until the year 2020. But now, who knows when. Which means at the very least this return will occur before my retro payments to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ends…. But seriously we still need to use the innovation and drive of American entrepreneurs to close the Gap in U.S. spaceflight now that the Space Shuttle fleet has been retired … In going to the International Space Station we are presently dependent upon Russia’s Soyuz for crew access to the International Space Station. Let us hope they never say there is no room at the Inn because of some international dispute. Replied Obama: I… I … I really prefer robotic missions then human missions to the final frontier because I find human missions too too risky. But I will not argue against what you say. Our continued access to the International Space Station does remain a concern. To which Kennethsson replied: “You did allocate $2 billion in additional funding for NASA to address the Gap … But the your proposed option of extending Space Shuttle Operations beyond 2010 to 2011 only cuts the gap one year. And $2 billion is only a drop in the bucket for Constellation whose shortfalls in budgeting may add another 18 months to the Gap…. To me it is foolish to strip the Orion Crew Exploration vehicle of the capability to support lunar exploration, making it simpler and lighter and supposedly easier to complete sooner. … As expressed by Space Frontier Foundation Co-founder Rick Tumlinson: ‘this idea is crazy because it will strand NASA in low Earth Orbit, instead of exploring the solar system… The whole point of that Vision for Space Exploration was to send NASA’s Lewis & Clark further out into the frontier, to the Moon, Mars and near-Earth asteroids, while the private sector takes over Earth Orbit. Cutting Orion back gives us “Gemini on steroids’, which would be change for the worse.’ …As stated by Will Watson, Foundation Executive Director, I don’t think it would be good policy to put all our eggs in one basket by pouring even more money into the Shuttle, an old system that was on its last legs or a controversial new program that’s already behind schedule.” Indeed, if we are serious about closing the Gap and about” making humanity’s presence in space economically sustainable we must consider Watson’s suggestion that we use the $2 billion to stimulate multiple entrepreneurial systems that will not only slash costs, improve safety, and close the Gap, but also will help create a whole new space industry with new jobs here in America.” Of course, I am acceptable to all ideas of merit that will accomplish the purposes we stated. Replied Obama: Again I do not argue against what you are saying …what you cite may be correct … but what you say is not my vision at the moment … it may, but then it may be in the future Obama looking at his clock and then at the hand signals of his Chief of Staff next responded: “But please excuse me I have a pressing appointment I now must go.”. Replied Kuric: Is it an important diplomatic or economic meeting? Replied Obama: “No, I have to fly off to a Parents- Teacher Conference in Chicago. Replied Kuric: “ What a great Man.” Responded Kennethsson: “ Katie.… Ask yourself what does it take to make government work properly at the various levels of government on the local level, state level, national level and the world level? In the simplest terms it takes hard work and drive. Of what you may ask? People ... People make all these various levels of the government work - not buildings ... Building are only the body of the city --- a tool to be utilized by people. The Soul of all governments is its people and every government I believe has compromised the good intensions of a proud and self- sufficient people. Therefore it has abused its soul." In my experience, Citizen Participation in Allentown was encouraged by City Official because the Federal Government's Community Development Block Grant program required citizen input. Thus we see in Allentown the Development of the Allentown Community of Neighborhood Organizations.... I remember going to my first meeting in the fall of 1976 at Dieruff High School and representatives of the Mayor's Ad Hoc committee for Citizen Participation explained the concept... They told us how we would set up our neighborhood associations and then come together as a coalition of neighborhoods to discuss problems of a city-wide concern. It was understood that problems of a localized nature would only come to the coalition if the neighborhood failed in its effort or efforts to seek resolution...In the beginning the people were led to believe that such a program would save tax money. But we didn't see a reduction in our taxes. In fact, it opened up a period wherein city government sought federal grants for everything. Our Administration had fallen prey to the siren lure of federal grant programs that have dependency on the uncertain budgetary decisions that will be made in Washington. Additionally, the Allentown taxpayer must pay for the services of a highly paid grants consultant based in Washington." Again as we entered another political cycle in 2009, we note that the attitudes of public officials on the local level, state level, national level and the world level have not changed ... The bureaucracies encouraged upon the lower levels by the upper level of government are still there and not always fully funded. The Original core levels of the lower levels of government were sometimes supplemented by additional funds from an upper level of government but as we said these levels of supplementation are uncertain over the years, therefore increased costs encouraged by these supplementation also remain inadequately funded. But you know what, there are limits in funding whether to lower levels of government or directly to business or people that the higher levels of government can safely provide .... Why the dependence on federal grant money by lower levels of government ? 1. Our political leaders on both the municipal and state level wanted to avoid political accountability for budget decisions by funding municipal and state expenditures with federal tax dollars...2. The Administration delighted and lusted in the competitive search for big bucks; that is, it developed the attitude that if we don't get the federal loot someone else will ...3. The municipal and state bureaucracy has succumbed to the reality of life that they needed grant programs to justify their positions.... And also, today our banks and major industrial means of production are also caught in the web Said Kuric: “Wow you have said a mouthful … Let’s talk again … Maybe privately.” Replied Kennethsson: “ I give this advice to people dealing with all government officials: "If you sit down and eat with a ruling prince, keep your mind on the business at hand: If you come out of Greed forget it and go home for you will become overwhelmed by government enticements With that the debate ended … And Kennethsson and his Aides began to develop plans to go to Caracas, Venezuela as Venezuelan President Hugo Chaves required them to attend his weekly Presidential broadcast so that they could hear him talk on and on for hours about his vision and then blame any failure of vision on part of his ministers who failed to carry out this vision properly. Then extend his show by launching a tirade against Kennethsson for not being in lockstep or total agreement with the vision of his soul Mate Obama or even worse, Chavez’s own vision for his people. What Obama wanted to know from his staff what they had on Kennethsson’s thinking toward the North American Free Trade Association Treaty? What they came up is the following statement made by Kennethsson on December 15, 1993: “Pay heed and listen to these words from the Bible - Book of Proverbs: ... " When you sit down to eat with a ruling prince, be sure to keep your mind on what is before you, and if you are a greedy man. Cut your throat first." (Proverbs Chapter 23: Verses 1-2)... ... "Wisdom builds the house, good judgment makes it secure, knowledge furnishes the rooms with all the precious and pleasant things that wealth can buy." (Proverbs Chapter 24: Verses 3-4)... Bill Clinton last week signed U.S. legislation to implement the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which will merge the markets of Canada, Mexico and the United States into the world's largest free trade zone. Let us hope that NAFTA was built on wisdom and good judgment! Former President George Bush whose Trade Representative Carla Hills successfully negotiated the pact, thinks that NAFTA was built on wisdom and good judgment... And so does former Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter ... Initially the Clinton Administration reserved judgment on NAFTA, but with the inclusion of a Side Bar Agreement negotiated with Mexico and Canada by Mickey Kantor, Clinton’s Trade Representative, the Administration dropped all reservations... But Ross Perot, a 1992 presidential candidate and the inspirational leader for "United We Stand" vigorously disagrees with the Administration's stand... So does organized labor ... Interestingly, the opposition of Ross Perot prompted Mr. Clinton to characterize Perot during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" as the "master of the one-liner and emotional retort" who "kept things stirred up because that's what he likes to do." In his strident attack against labor on the same program, Clinton denounced their "roughshod muscle-bound tactics" and "naked pressure" to intimidate Democratic lawmakers. NAFTA, which builds on the five-year old U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, takes effect January 1, 1994 and over the next 15 years eliminates tariffs and other trade barriers. It creates the world's largest free trade zone, covering 360 million people and stretches from the tropics to the arctic. New reservations about NAFTA brought up by the new Liberal Party government of Canada headed by Prime Minister John Crettien caused some concern and anxiety in the Clinton Administration right up to Clinton's ceremonial signing of the U.S. legislation. In the end, the U.S. and Mexico agreed to Canadian demands that uniform trade laws be developed to avoid disputes over unfair trading practices. The three countries agreed they would try to negotiate over the next two years codes governing trade subsidies and dumping, or unfair pricing. The U.S. and Mexico also agreed to a Canadian demand that would deny NAFTA the right to compel Canada to export their water resources. But the U.S. refused to give into a Canadian demand that would provide Canada with the same energy protection as Mexico. Mexico unlike its neighbors isn't required to share its energy resources with its partners during a supply crisis. Canada wanted equality with Mexico on the issue. Canada's new government had threatened to drop out of the agreement if its demands for changes weren't met. Interestingly, Canada is currently trying to increase its oil and liquid gas exports to the U.S., not reduce them. To understand NAFTA one must accept the fact that the world since the fall of the Soviet Union is in the process of creating a new economic order. The world is presently evolving into two competing trade groups. If both groups accepted the principles of the General Agreement On Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the world would have a functioning system. Indeed there would be stiff competition between the trade blocks, but this competition could be handled. U.S. Trade representative Mickey Kantor is currently involved in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations in Geneva Switzerland. If complex negotiations are successfully completed by December 15, 1993, GATT will receive fast track review in Congress like NAFTA.... But at the time of this writing, many issues remain unsettled. The current round of GATT negotiations began in 1987. The initial GATT agreement was made in 1948. One of these competing groups is the tightly knit European Community. Europe's main concerns include coping with jobless rates soaring past 11%, with failed efforts to craft common foreign, defense and monetary policies, and discredited politicians who have offered little vision and hope for the future. Viewed from America, the European Community is in an insular and defensive mood, unwilling to look much beyond its own economic crisis. The second competing group is the loosely organized and fledgling Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation group (APEC). The 15-member group is a diverse collection of countries, ranging from huge and still communistic China to tiny Brunei, whose separate passions for freer trade and compassion differ greatly. The U.S. and its NAFTA partners have membership in this group with the U.S. having been rebuffed by the European Community in its desire to have observer status. The first ever gathering of APEC meeting in Seattle, Washington recently gave the European Community a clear and disturbing message concerning its desire to obtain an observer status in APEC. APEC told the EC politely to buzz off. The rationale being if Europe didn't want member nations of APEC to have a role in EC Affairs, APEC couldn't possibly allow the EC to have a role in their affairs. Many Asians blame Europe for stalling on global trade talks The Seattle Summit can be viewed as a diplomatic first of symbolic importance. It's the initial gathering of leaders from the world's most dynamic economies, assembled to spur even faster growth by increased cooperation around the Pacific Rim... Then too, the Seattle Conference can be viewed as another sign of its Asian members wealth... The Asian membership accounting for 25% of global production compared to only 4% three decades ago. As Proverbs Chapter 24: Verses 3-4 says: " Wisdom builds the house, good judgment makes it secure, knowledge furnished the rooms with all the precious and pleasant things that wealth can buy..." In light of the emerging European Community Trading Block, which may exclude the United States, NAFTA is an attempt by the United States to build a bridge with its North American neighbors... A Bridge that some say will be soon expanded to include South American nations as well... An economic Manifest Destiny so to speak... With APEC, the Americas may well build a bridge across the Pacific Ocean to link the Americas with Asia... With GATT, APEC would build a bridge to the European Community... “ The President upon reading the statement shook is head in a way his handlers knew expressed concern. Obama said to Emmauel: “He knew this in 2003 when he had no portfolio in government to learn this…. Woe we got to box this guy in. If this was a basketball game I would play the old Box and 1 zone against him.” As it occurred the rest of the debates were canceled as well as the election of 2012. Strange as it may seem, many Americans including Kennethsson had mysteriously disappeared, as did many citizens of the world. A confused and beleaguered Obama said this was some sort of mystery, tribulation or act of God he could not understand. As this story was written the Armies of the world that include European Union troops sent by European Union President Tony Blair are headed toward a place in the Middle East with the intent of confronting an individual who is said to have descended to the Earth from the clouds. Obama spoke in his initial campaign for President about change we can believe in. However, the change that the person who descends from the sky with a great host of believers will bring to the world changes that we can believe in. Barrack Obama, who arrived on the world political scene with great popularity, can only be troubled by the new development. Some say that his drive to become Emperor of the United States and perhaps the world has been stymied by this new development. He must make a critical decision in regard to committing U.S. troops. Will he ally himself with the armies of the world as authorized by the United Nations Security Council resolution? Or will he be on the side of the Kingdom of God, which is coming down to Earth through this man who is descending to earth from a cloud? …. As it was stated in Isaiah 24:21- 22 ... "... it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Barack, the orator , now needs to make a decision. On who's side will he stand. He can't count on the host to free him from this judgment like the multitude freed Barabass from the cross in his day ... Will he stand up for Jesus a man born without Adam's sin , died without Adam's sin, and in doing so gave us all the opportunity to receive forgiveness of our sin trough his grace ... Or will he stand up for the Anti-Christ ... Observers at the scene are somewhat confounded at what is happening … some reports suggest the mysterious reappearance of Obama’s Presidential Opponent Dennis Kennethsson in the ranks of the forces supporting the One who descended from the clouds … What is for certain, these same observers say that something climatic is about to occur in the Valley of Armageddon.... The government of man has proven itself to be utterly corrupt ... And it has failed as predicted ... No superman arrived on the scene to solve all the world's problems nor bring the world peace |
