Let me tell you what I do believe - Backed up by verifiable facts. And not Michael Moore Facts either:
1 - This country has been hijacked by men at the highest levels of industry, big business, big oil, and old money. The Beast is alive and well, cataloging our every purchase with bar codes and RFID chips.
----------The time will come very soon when each and every one of us will be required to have an RFID chip implanted under our skin. "To combat terrorism," they will say," or "to keep our medical records private, our credit cards secure; to ward off identity theft." The chip will take the place of drivers licenses and Social Security cards. It will effectively be a hack-proof, forgery-proof National Identity Card.
[link to www.wethepeoplewillnotbechipped.com]
----------But before the chip, comes "RealID." Effective NEXT YEAR - 2008, if you live or work in the United States, you'll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. The "RealID Act" was attached to an $82-billion military spending bill in 2005.
----------What's going to be stored on this ID card?
----------At a minimum: name, birth date, sex, ID number, a digital photograph, address, and a "common machine-readable technology" that Homeland Security will decide on. The card must also sport "physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes."
----------Homeland Security is permitted to add additional requirements--such as a fingerprint or retinal scan--on top of those. We won't know for a while what these additional requirements will be.
----------Does anybody care to take a guess what will happen if you were to refuse to get tagged or chipped? You will be placed on a “Bad Actor’s List” maintained by the Secret Service! That’s right boys and girls, President Bush has issued a decree, excuse me, an “Executive Order,” prohibiting persons on this list, including U.S. Citizens, from any transaction or travel.
----------Chicago resident and American citizen Muhammed Salah knows all too well what happens – he was the first U.S. citizen placed on the list over. Salah cannot legally WORK to earn a paycheck to support his wife and 5 kids, travel anywhere, he may not SELL anything, his bank accounts are FROZEN, he cannot pay a DOCTOR, DRIVE, or BUY so much as a Slurpee at 7-11 without permission from the Treasury Department I don’t know kids, sounds like maybe there is something to the Mark of the Beast and the Book of Revelation to me! – U.S. News & World Report Sept 3rd, 2007, pp 32-33
2 - George Bush is an idiot, used as a figurehead by the real power behind the throne. His main reason for starting the Iraq war, by his own admission, was to kill the man (Saddam) who "tried to assassinate my dad." He just happens to be fortunate that his personal reasons for the invasion dovetail nicely with the ambitions of the Defense/Big Oil/New World Order complex.
----------Also, the American people should know about George W. Bush’s relationship with the family of Osama bin Laden. Salem bin Laden, Osama’s older brother, was an investor in Arbusto Energy. – the Texas oil company started by George W. Bush. Arbusto means “Bush” in Spanish.
----------Since the start of the "war on terrorism", the Carlyle Group, whose members have included former SecState James Baker, former British Prime Minister John Major, Philippine Pres. Fidel Ramos, and of course former POTUS George Herbert Walker Bush. ----------The Carlyle Group is a global private equity firm with $75.6 billion under management committed to 55 funds. Carlyle invests in buyouts, venture & growth capital, real estate and leveraged finance in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America focusing on aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation, consumer & retail, energy & power, financial services, health care, industrial, infrastructure, technology & business services and telecommunications & media.
----------Aerospace & Defense - How we Kill Jihadis
----------Auto & Transport - How We Get There to Kill 'em
----------Consumer & Retail - Amassing Huge Databases w/RFID
----------Energy & Power - Record High Gas Prices & Profits
----------Financial Services - Their banks hold our mortgages,
-----------------------------------and if we should default, the home reverts to them.
----------Industrial - Building Bombs, Missiles, Planes & Tanks
----------Technology - 100% Targeting accuracy, Sat Tracking
----------Telecom & Media - How Better to Spread Disinformation and outright lies?
----------The firm - unofficially valued at $13.5bn - has taken on an added significance. Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least of whom is the current president's father. Carlyle also provided another curious link to the Afghan crisis: among the firm's multi-million-dollar investors were members of the family of Osama bin Laden.
3 - Big Oil, those who are sucking every penny they can out of our pockets, wanted the war in Iraq and the imminent war in Iran to destabilize and topple unfriendly governments (regime change) so they could maximize profits in the short term, and exert complete control over 2/3 of the world's known oil reserves in the future.
----------But for now, manufacturing the ILLUSION of instability in the middle east, Big Oil can run up prices at the pump all day and get away with it. And with a sympathetic President running interference with Congress, insuring that there will be no windfall profits tax, these multi-national, global monstrosities have absolutely no incentive to back down on the price of gas at the pump.
-----------At the same time, the administration is beating the war drums over Iran's Nuclear ambitions. Granted, a nuclear armed terrorist state like Iran is an intolerable risk, but let's not be naive like we were in the run-up to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" when we were fed the lies of WMD's under Saddam's control. Iran sits atop a lake of black gold measured in the TRILLIONS of barrels. This oil would keep the world running for another 50 years - and Big Oil wants a slice of that pie!
----------Exxon, the world's biggest publicly traded company by revenue posted net earnings of $39.5 billion on revenue of $377.6 billion last year, topping its previous profit record of $36.1 billion in 2005, which at the time was the largest for any U.S. company.
money.cnn.com/2007/02/01/news/companies/exxon/index.htm
----------Coming off three straight years of record profits, Chevron Corp. reported its earnings surged yet again to start 2007 as the oil company cashed in on lucrative refining margins that have contributed to high gasoline prices.
[link to asp.usatoday.com]
----------Since George Bush became President in 2001, the top five oil companies in the United States have recorded profits of $464 billion through the first quarter of 2007:
----------ExxonMobil: $158.5 billion
----------Shell: $108.5 billion
----------BP: $89.2 billion
----------ChevronTexaco: $60.9 billion
----------ConocoPhillips: $46.9 billion
----------WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush rejected calls to tax oil companies' record profits, but said he expects those companies to re-invest those profits in alternative fuels and new energy technologies - Like that's going to happen.
4 - Dick Cheney is a war profiteer. His company, Halliburton is making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the "War on Terror." As soon as his term as VP is over, he will go right back to Halliburton as Chairman of the Board. He should be impeached and jailed but he never will be. In fact, the value of his Halliburton stock has risen 3,281% since the beginning of "Operation Iraqi Freedom.
----------After Desert Storm, SecDef Cheney awarded Halliburton subsidiary Brown and Root an 8.5 million dollar contract to study the feasibility of supplementing American troops with civilian contractors, or mercenaries, if you prefer. After his government stint ended, Cheney became the Chairman and CEO of Halliburton from 1995 until 2000.
----------Halliburton, an energy company, and its subsidiary Kellogg, Brown, and Root (now KBR), now control most aspects of daily life in Iraq from, now get this, The IMPORTATION of Gasoline, to private "Security Forces," to feeding troops deployed In Theater. As of Feb. 7th, 2007, 98 KBR employees have died, and more than 430 have been wounded in hostile action.
----------One point of note, KBR charges the Pentagon $26 per soldier, per meal. They keep track not by counting soldiers, but by counting the disposable trays from which they eat. It's sandy and windy in Iraq, so soldiers will often take 2 trays - 1 to cover their food. So KBR ends up charging $52 per soldier, per meal.
------------------------------------  
5 - Former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal - and a dumbass to boot. The smartest people in the world were giving advice to the administration. "Though the U.S. State Department had conducted a comprehensive study of the problems of occupying Iraq, its conclusions were ignored by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld." - Center for Strategic and International Studies.
----------Does the administration expect us to believe that they didn't know disbanding the Iraqi army, and banning members of the Ba'ath Party from holding office or even working would create a ready-made, armed insurgency? Belonging to the Ba'ath Party was pretty much an obligation if one wished to hold a job in Saddam's Iraq; Just like belonging to the Nazi Party in WWII Germany was required of all working citizens - even if they didn't agree with the party's belief system.
----------Disbanding these two entities created an unemployment nightmare overnight, so that if one wanted to feed one's family, joining the insurgency or militia was the only option. And with no security system to rely on, it was only a matter of time before 200 years worth of blood feuds between Sunni and Shia factions exploded into the bloodbath we are currently witnessing in Iraq.
----------Are we to believe that Rumsfeld didn't know unguarded weapons depots would be inviting targets for terrorists, Sunni insurgents, and Shia militia looking to arm themselves? They knew a civil war was coming; how did American war planners not know?
----------They KNEW! In fact, they were counting on it! If the Iraqis were busy fighting each other, Rumsfeld and his minions reasoned, then they wouldn't be fighting us. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out that way. The Shia, Sunni, AND foreign Arab terrorists all took their potshots at American and coalition forces in between their own sectarian battles.

6 - The CIA funded Osama Bin Laden and the mujaheddin in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation. When Bin Laden was in Somalia, he was offered to the US, gift wrapped, with a bow on his head. But our government didn't want him.
----------Bin Laden could have been captured during the battle of Tora Bora, but he was left with a way out through Pakistan. Why? Because to unite a people behind a political agenda, there HAS to be a "Bogeyman." And a dead one just won't do.
7- The United States WILL attack Iran in the near future. Currently we have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran is flanked on both sides by the most awesome and destructive military power the world has every seen.
----------There are 3 Carrier Strike Groups in the Persian Gulf. This flanks Iran on a third side, providing a platform from which to launch a devastating air campaign with cruise missiles and aircraft, and cuts off any water-borne supply route or means of escape.
----------Nimitz CSG 11, commanded by Rear Adm. John Terence Blake, includes the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Nimitz and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11; Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 23; the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59); and the guided-missile destroyers USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53), USS Higgins (DDG 76), USS Chafee (DDG 90), and USS Pinckney (DDG 91); Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 49 “Scorpions,” HSL-37 “Easy Riders,” and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit 11, Det. 15.
----------The aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) entered the Persian Gulf on March 27, escorted by the guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54). This strike Group includes, CVW 9, Destroyer Squadron 21, USS Antietam (CG 54), the guided-missile destroyers USS O’Kane (DDG-77) and USS Preble (DDG 88) and the fast combat-support ship USNS Bridge (T-AOE 10).
----------The USS Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG) commenced operations in the Persian Gulf Aug. 10, where they are currently deployed to support Maritime Security Operations (MSO) as well as Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom. More than 6,500 Sailors and Marines are assigned to each Carrier Strike Group.
[link to www.news.navy.mil]
----------Each carrier group automatically comes with a USMC Battalion Landing Team of nearly 2,000 Marines stationed on an LHA, or LHD (a small VSTOL carrier), and one or two submarines
----------The primary missions of the submarines (SSGN) will be land attack and Special Operations Forces (SOF) insertion and support. Secondary missions will be the traditional attack submarine missions of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), battle space preparation, and sea control.
----------These submarines are EACH armed with up to 154 Tomahawk® or Tactical Tomahawk® land attack, Nuclear Capable missiles. They will have the ability to carry and support a team of 66 SOF personnel for up to 90 days at a time.
----------Additionally, the US base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean is capable of housing, resupply, and refueling B-52's which can each launch up to 20 cruise missiles or drop 70,000 lbs of mixed ordinance. B-1 bombers are also based here.
