IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family


CNSNews.com) – In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.
The IRS's assumption that the cheapest plan for family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.
The examples point to families of four and families of five, both of which the IRS expects in its assumptions to pay a minimum of $20,000 per year for a bronze plan.
“The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000,” the regulation says.
Bronze will be the lowest tier health-insurance plan available under Obamacare--after Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Under the law, the penalty for not buying health insurance is supposed to be capped at either the annual average Bronze premium, 2.5 percent of taxable income, or $2,085.00 per family in 2016.
In the new final rules published Wednesday, IRS set in law the rules for implementing the penalty Americans must pay if they fail to obey Obamacare's mandate to buy insurance.
To help illustrate these rules, the IRS presented examples of different situations families might find themselves in.
In the examples, the IRS assumes that families of five who are uninsured would need to pay an average of $20,000 per year to purchase a Bronze plan in 2016.
Using the conditions laid out in the regulations, the IRS calculates that a family earning $120,000 per year that did not buy insurance would need to pay a "penalty" (a word the IRS still uses despite the Supreme Court ruling that it is in fact a "tax") of $2,400 in 2016.
For those wondering how clear the IRS's clarifications of this new "penalty" rule are, here is one of the actual examples the IRS gives:
“Example 3. Family without minimum essential coverage.
"(i) In 2016, Taxpayers H and J are married and file a joint return. H and J have three children: K, age 21, L, age 15, and M, age 10. No member of the family has minimum essential coverage for any month in 2016. H and J’s household income is $120,000. H and J’s applicable filing threshold is $24,000. The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000.
"(ii) For each month in 2016, under paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(iii) of this section, the applicable dollar amount is $2,780 (($695 x 3 adults) + (($695/2) x 2 children)). Under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the flat dollar amount is $2,085 (the lesser of $2,780 and $2,085 ($695 x 3)). Under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the excess income amount is $2,400 (($120,000 - $24,000) x 0.025). Therefore, under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the monthly penalty amount is $200 (the greater of $173.75 ($2,085/12) or $200 ($2,400/12)).
"(iii) The sum of the monthly penalty amounts is $2,400 ($200 x 12). The sum of the monthly national average bronze plan premiums is $20,000 ($20,000/12 x 12). Therefore, under paragraph (a) of this section, the shared responsibility payment imposed on H and J for 2016 is $2,400 (the lesser of $2,400 or $20,000).”

My Name is Holocaust


For their own good, I made sure their weapons were taken away.
I relegated them to the status of 3rd class citizens while I rallied the people to my issues.
I told them we would dominate and that the government would protect them.
For their own safety, I rounded them up. I took them from their homes and from their work and I sent them to places where we could guarantee they would be kept from harm.
When they arrived at their destinations, I took their belongings and removed their individual identities. I shaved their heads and humiliated them. I took their clothes and I separated them from their families.
Those who were weak or old or too young were sent to one side while those, able bodied, were sent to work.
The able bodied never saw the old and weak or their children again.
I enslaved them.
I starved them.
The goal was to wipe them out. To rid the world of their kind. To do the rest of mankind a favor. That was the goal.
We experimented on them.
We subjected them to unspeakable horrors.
We started killing them.
We put them in rooms and dropped pellets, poison pellets, gas, into the packed rooms.
They screamed, begged, pleaded before they fell silent.
We burned their bodies and threw what was left into pits and trenches.
The fires burned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day, every week, year after year.
Then, I sped up the process. I started shooting them. I pushed bodies onto the bodies that covered the ashes.
I murdered 6 million before I was stopped. 6 million. Nearly a quarter of all of them on earth.
My name is Holocaust.
___________________________________
I am old. As old as the sand.
I have been persecuted for as long as I can remember.
My children have been chased from their homes, from their land, my land. They have been held as slaves and they have wandered the deserts for 40 years.
Their laws, 10 of them, are shared by many today.
The ancestors of my children and the ancestors of those who disagree with us share common bonds, a common history and common lands. Other great religions have come from my children and, at times, even they were at odds.
My children have been conquered, driven away, scattered but always, over the millennia, they have found their way home.
More than 3 decades ago, my children made peace with their most long standing enemy. An enemy who held captive my children when the pyramids were new and before that as well.
Peace. The peace no one thought possible. Enemies became friends.
There is nothing of worth on or under my land but for my children. Their worth is great as is their knowledge. They help to solve the issues that plague man’s health and create the things that help people the world over, thrive.
My children, in my name, would offer to all their enemies the peace thought to be impossible would those who deem them enemies simply acknowledge my children’s right to exist.
My children  have been murdered, imprisoned, enslaved and displaced but, they have been from the beginning and will be until the end, God’s chosen and, while patient beyond comprehension, I will protect them with force.
Cross my red line, push me too far, attack me and I will give better than I got.
My name is Israel.

Holocaust failed. Miserably.
I will not acknowledge such failure as, to do so, would lend credence to the little Satan.
I will succeed where others have failed.
The cowards dare not challenge me. Not the little not the great Satan.
I will build the weapons of Israel’s destruction but I will tell the world I will use the power peacefully.
Sanction me all you want. I laugh at your attempts to stop me. I will let my own people suffer your wrath but I will continue toward my goal.
I will use the world’s stage, in my enemy’s home, to disparage them and my targets and they are powerless to stop me from doing so.
Israel. Filth.
I will wipe them from the map.
Attack ME? You will raise the ire of my friends and they are many. They grow in numbers and in power and they attack our enemies while hiding behind the innocent.
Let the curs talk of their victories. Let them think they have hurt us. They create martyrs and we grow stronger.
They could defeat us had they courage but their lack OF it will be THEIR end.
Where others have tried to kill Israel one infidel at a time, or take them as slaves, I will rain upon them death in their own homes.
Diplomacy?
Laughable.
I will use their diplomacy against them and with it, I will delay their frustration, their ire, and provide them a false sense of power.
I’m almost ready. Nearly capable of striking the great blow.
The great Satan is weary of war and their leader, such as he is, has neither the will not the stomach to stand against HIS ideology to help the little Satan.
All I need, all I require, to finish what others began, is time.
Just a little more time and space.
My name is Iran.
___________________________________
There is time and space for diplomacy to work.
I champion my sanctions against the people of Iran.
I told the world that he who kept the peace with the children of Israel had to go and that the enemies of Israel’s children should have a seat at the table.
Democracy I called it.
Now that democracy in Egypt has turned to Dictatorship, I am silent.
I have armed the enemies of Israel and our enemies too.
I have given the new Dictator air and ground power.
On the world’s stage, I champion those for statehood who refuse to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist and support those whose charter calls for the killing of all the children of Israel.
I went to visit Israel when it was expedient for me to do so but I have not returned since.
I tell my own people that our enemies in the region are nearly vanquished though it is not the truth.
I have told others who do not like the leader of Israel that I like him less.
When he came to my home, I made him wait.
I told him to draw back to his nation’s borders as they existed before 1967 and he told me those borders were indefensible…As though I was unaware of that fact.
I will financially decimate my own military and, should I have my way, the man who will lead that military will challenge neither me nor the enemies of Israel.
He has as much use for standing with Israel as do I.
I will deceive many with my hollow threats to control Iran but, Iran knows better because when the people OF Iran arose, I did nothing.
My name is Obama.

Diplomacy has no effect where we have no diplomatic relations and little more where we do in countries that don’t like is.
Israel has been far, FAR too patient but that is their way.
WE have the ability to deter Iran on our own or, at the very least, assist Israel in doing so militarily.
Mr. Netanyahu drew a red line and Iran is nearly ready to cross it.
If we ignore the situation, if we do nothing, if we allow Iran to finish their plans, their weapons, it will be too late.
We made that same mistake with North Korea.
Have we learned nothing?
We waited too long to enter WWII.
Have we learned nothing?
The religion of Israel is not mine but I will stand with them as we fear the same God, share the same enemies and value the same freedoms.
Followers “lead from behind” but cower in the face of taking real action. Neither words nor sanctions will stop Iran but action, decisive military action will if it is undertaken in time.
Those in a position of leadership must lead and if they falter, hesitate or refuse to act at all, they should be judged by man to be guilty of genocide and will be so judged by history and God.
My name is Never Again.
My friends call me…Patriot….And I WILL Stand With Israel.

You’ll be surprised at the most exciting places to be right now


January 31, 2013
Lima, Peru
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been to Lima, and I’m amazed at the growth that has taken place in that time.
The level of disposable income has risen dramatically as more people have been pulled into the middle class. And despite the increase in the number of roads, traffic is worse than ever. This is a clear (albeit inconvenient) sign of growth, owing to the rapid increase in the number of people who can afford both fuel and a vehicle.
It’s not just Peru; there are a lot of growth stories out there, especially in South America and Southeast Asia, the two most exciting places to be right now.
I spend a lot of time in Chile, a country which has the most developed economy and most robust middle class in Latin America. Plus it has NO net debt. Zero.
In Chile, it’s possible for foreigners to find very high paying jobs and easily obtain permission to work. The opportunities to start a business are vast… and wide open for experienced foreigners who can raise the standard of service.
Plus, some of the investment opportunities are almost unparalleled. I’m heavily involved in the agricultural sector where the combination of price, yield, and operating costs are unmatched by anywhere else I’ve seen.
Colombia is also a great example. After decades of being written off, the country’s improved stability, vast domestic market, and resource wealth has created an economic renaissance.
This notion is shocking to foreigners who think Colombia’s economy is nothing but cocaine and kidnapping. And this is why many Colombian asset prices still sell at the “Colombia discount,” the pervasive stigma that clings to the country like a stench.
For example, you can still purchase high quality real estate in Medellin for less than $1,000 per square meter. This is almost as cheap as the cost of construction. Yet the gross rental yields can easily reach 20%.
And for entrepreneurs, Colombia is following Chile’s lead, providing valuable incentives to attract talented, productive people.
Venezuela is also a bit of a surprising good news story. With Hugo Chavez shuffling along earnestly from this lifetime, the country may open with renewed economic freedom.
Halfway across the world, we’re already seeing what happens when a country goes from being tightly controlled to increasingly free.
In the 1950s, Myanmar (Burma) was one of the region’s richest countries.  After a few decades of military rule, it was the absolute poorest. Now that the rules are relaxing control, the economy is on fire.
While visiting Burma about 3 months ago, I was struck by the amount pent-up consumer demand being unleashed. 50 million people are furiously buying cars, mobile phones, coffee, and even Coca-Cola for the first time ever.
Across the region the opportunities are similarly enticing. In fact, some investors are starting to use the term LVMC (Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia) instead of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) to mark the rise of Southeast Asia.
One of the most overused quotes in finance is from Wayne Gretzky, and one that I will grudgingly paraphrase. You don’t skate to where the puck is, you skate to where the puck is going to be. And these spots are precisely where the pucks are sliding.

Spanish Dining to Delight All but the Taxman


On a secluded street in Spain, in a dimly lit basement, Mikio, a Japanese-Chilean filmmaker, restaurateur and sometime professional clown, warns a small group of diners to clap raucously and sing "Happy Birthday!" should the police barge into his clandestine restaurant, Nikkei.
Mikio, 39, is determined to create the illusion of a private gathering of friends at his postmodern speakeasy. The basement is decorated with black-and-white photographs of his grandparents. Even a toothbrush is displayed in the bathroom. He runs the place off the books and takes only cash. "Please don't use my last name," he said, smiling nervously. The owner of the space, an independent film company, has no idea what he is up to, he said.
Economic hardship has inspired a full range of clandestine entrepreneurship in Spain. The combination of higher taxes and unemployment has pushed desperate Spaniards to convert their apartments and underused lofts and warehouses into jazz clubs, hair salons, restaurants and even flamenco halls. The venues typically have no listed addresses and are found through word of mouth or on Facebook and Twitter.
But underground restaurants seem to be among the most popular among the clandestine offerings, and though they are not new in Barcelona, or many other cities around the world, their purveyors say they are providing a needed refuge in a country with 25 percent unemployment where even Michelin-starred restaurants have been forced to close under economic pressure.
Indeed, Mikio said he got the idea for Nikkei, which opened last year, when he lived a few years ago in Cuba, where dining at paladares, or underground restaurants in peoples' homes, was a popular way to bypass the authorities and make some money.
"To begin with I did it for fun and to make extra money and because people need innovative low-cost options in a bad economy," said Mikio, a wiry and jovial man who heralded each new course by ringing a loud bell made of metal from his family's armament factory back in Japan. "But I prefer to think of it as a social gathering rather than a business."
The missing revenue from those who do not pay taxes may amount to as much as 37 billion euros, or about $50 billion, economists say, depriving Spain's debt-ridden government of much-needed reserves. Quantifying the numbers of these businesses is difficult since they are, by definition, underground. But economists estimate that Spain's "black" economy may be as much as a fifth of its gross domestic product.
Beyond avoiding taxes, Mikio said he was able to keep the prices low by buying products in bulk from friends at local wholesale food markets and limiting his portions. On a recent night, the place was crammed with about 18 people. Guests included the fishmonger who had sold him the fish for his sushi (she got a free meal).
The assembled diners could barely contain their glee at the price. A sumptuous but minimalist nine-course Catalan-Japanese fusion meal — including Japanese dumplings, a tropical soup made of pomegranate, ginger and sunflower seeds and a smallish crisis-size portion of sushi — came to just 23 euros.

LIGHTS OUT: France to force shops, offices to go dark overnight to fight 'light pollution'.


AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS IS ABSURD. 

Shops and offices throughout France will be forced to turn off their lights overnight in a bid to fight light pollution, the country's environment ministry has announced.
Under the new law, which comes into effect on 1 July, lights in shop window displays will be turned off at 1am. Interior lights in offices and other non-residential buildings will have to be switched off an hour after the last employee leaves. Local councils will be able to make exceptions for Christmas and other special occasions, and in certain tourist or cultural areas.
The move, announced on Wednesday, is expected to save 250,000 tonnes of CO2 – enough energy to power 750,000 French households for a year.
The French ecology minister, Delphine Batho, said she hoped the law would change attitudes in France and help the country become a pioneer in reducing light pollution.

Western sources: Israeli aircraft hit target on Lebanese-Syrian border

Israeli forces have attacked a target on the Syrian-Lebanese border overnight, a Western diplomat and three regional security sources said on Wednesday, shortly after the Lebanese army reported a heavy presence of Israeli jets over its territory throughout the night. There is no comment from Israel which has vowed to act against Syrian chemical and conventional weapons being used or reaching terrorist hands.

YouTube Set to Introduce Paid Subscriptions This Spring


A new chapter in online video is about to begin. YouTube is prepping to launch paid subscriptions for individual channels on its video platform in its latest attempt to lure content producers, eyeballs, and advertiser dollars away from traditional TV, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.
YouTube has reached out to a small group of channel producers and asked them to submit applications to create channels that users would have to pay to access. As of now it appears that the first paid channels will cost somewhere between $1 and $5 a month, two of these people said. In addition to episodic content, YouTube is also considering charging for content libraries and access to live events, a la pay-per-view, as well as self-help or financial advice shows.
It's not clear which channels will be part of the first paid-subscription rollout, but it is believed that YouTube will lean on the media companies that have already shown the ability to develop large followings on the video platform, including networks like Machinima, Maker Studios and Fullscreen. YouTube is also looking outside its current roster of partners for candidates.
These people said YouTube could introduce the paid channels as early as the second quarter of this year. One of them said that the channels could be introduced to the public at the Digital Content New Fronts in late April, where digital-media companies such as YouTube, AOL and Yahoo host advertisers for presentations announcing new online-video series.
YouTube has been talking about the possibility of paid subscriptions for some time now. A year ago, at at AllThingsD media conference, YouTube CEO Salar Kamangar talked on stage about the potential to poach second- or third-tier cable networks that were having trouble building big enough audiences on cable TV to command subscription fees from distributors. Internet distribution, the thinking goes, would give some of these networks a more direct line to their passionate base with lower costs .
"If we have a subscription model," Mr. Kamangar said at the time, "then absolutely that's something that becomes possible."
"We have long maintained that different content requires different types of payment models," a Google spokesman said, in a statement. 'The important thing is that, regardless of the model, our creators succeed on the platform. There are a lot of our content creators that think they would benefit from subscriptions, so we're looking at that."
YouTube is treating paid subscriptions as an experiment. much like video rentals when it began in 2010. The initial group of channels will be small, likely about 25 at the outset. The revenue split from subscriptions is expected to be similar to the 45-55 split that is common for ads on YouTube. Partners will also have the option to include ads in their pay channels, but its unclear what form those will take.
YouTube is advising its current partners to consider carefully how their existing audience will react. Most have spent years building up a base of free subscribers through hard work and cross-promotion. Can they produce content worth paying for?

Iran, Hezbollah terror threat rising


New report by Washington Institute for Near East Studies says Tehran's elite Quds Force, Shiite terror group increasing collaboration
Associated Press
Published: 01.30.13, 09:33 / Israel News
Iran's elite Quds Force and Hezbollah militants are learning from a series of botched terror attacks over the past two years and pose a growing threat to the US and other Western targets as well as Israel, a prominent counterterrorism expert says.

Operating both independently and together, the militant groups are escalating their activities around the world, fueling worries in the US that they increasingly have the ability and the willingness to attack the US, according to a report by Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute for Near East Studies.

Related Stories:

His report points to two attacks last year – one successful and one foiled by US authorities – as indications that the militants are adapting and are determined to take revenge on the West, including for its efforts to disrupt Tehran's nuclear program.

The report's conclusions expand on comments late last year from US terrorism officials who told Congress that the Quds Force and Hezbollah, which often coordinate efforts, have become "a significant source of concern" for the US. The Quds Force is an elite wing of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, the defenders of Iran's ruling clerics and their hold on power.

The report comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the West, including a persistent stalemate over scheduling six-party talks on Tehran's nuclear program and anger over reports that the US and Israel were behind the Stuxnet computer attack that forced the temporary shutdown of thousands of centrifuges at an Iranian nuclear facility in 2010.

More than 20 terror attacks by Hezbollah or Quds Force operatives were thwarted around the world between May 2011 and July 2012, with nine coming in the first nine months of 2012, Levitt said in the report.

"What is particularly striking is how amateurish the actions of both organizations have been: Targets were poorly chosen and assaults carried out with gross incompetence," Levitt said in the report. "But as the groups brush off the cobwebs and professionalize their operations, this sloppy tradecraft could quickly be replaced by operational success."

Levitt is a senior fellow and director of the Washington Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. From 2005 to early 2007, he served as deputy assistant secretary for intelligence and analysis at the Treasury Department.

The two key attacks, the report said, include the plot by a Texas man to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States. Manssor Arbabsiar, a US citizen with an Iranian passport, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and murder-for-hire last October and told the court that Iranian military officials were involved in the planning. Iran has denied that link.

His effort was foiled when he tried to hire what he thought was a drug dealer to carry out the attack in a Washington restaurant, but the man was actually a US Drug Enforcement Administration confidential source.

While that plot highlighted a growing willingness to wage attacks in the US, a second, more successful plot in Bulgariasuggests that militants may be learning from their missteps.

Last July, a bomb killed a bus driver and five Israelis, and wounded 30 others, when it struck a tour bus in a caravan. Officials have blamed the attack on Hezbollah.

Other attacks over the past two years have also identified repeated links between Hezbollah and the Quds force - a long alliance that historically involved the Iranians arming, funding or training the Lebanon-based militants and using them as proxies.

In testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee last September, Matthew Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said that "the Quds force, as well as the group that it coordinates with, Lebanese Hezbollah" posed a significant source of concern.

FBI associate deputy director Kevin Perkins added, "We look at it as a serious threat, and that we are focusing intelligence analysts and other resources on that on a daily basis to monitor that threat and to make determinations is it increasing, is it dropping off and the like."

According to Levitt, the efforts to disrupt Iran's nuclear program have only made Tehran more eager to see a successful attack carried out. He said that both Hezbollah and the Quds Force have been hampered by the increased security triggered by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Egypt, Syria are falling apart – an Israeli nightmare unfolds


Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel warned Tuesday, Jan. 29, that Syria is falling apart and no one knows what the next day may bring: “War may not break out tomorrow,” he said, “but we stand ready for any eventuality.”
If war is not expected tomorrow, why have Israel’s armed forces, including the air force, been on their highest level of preparedness since Friday, Jan. 25? The Syrian crisis may not technically fit the description of a state of war. However, the violent turbulence in that country may at any time spill over the border into hostilities in some shape or form.
The “no comment” stance on the Syrian civil war, long held by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak is untenable and pointless, especially after the latter cut short an overseas family trip to be flown home in a hurry Saturday.
No one believes the official explanation that the three Iron Dome anti-missile batteries stationed over the weekend in northern Israel - in the sight of many thousands of local dwellers - are there for a preplanned routine test - least of all after a senior Israeli officer told AFP that large Hizballah forces are parked at Bashar Assad’s chemical weapons stores poised ready to seize them.
If this happens, said the officer, “A decision to attack Syria or Lebanon will need to be implemented immediately.”
This is beginning to sound as though the politicians and the generals are not on speaking terms.
Gen. Eshel’s comment came hard upon the grave warning issued earlier Tuesday by Egypt's army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who is also the defense minister. “The political strife is pushing the state to the brink of collapse,” he said on the sixth day of turbulent protests across the country at the cost of more than 60 lives.
Gen. El-Sissi reacted to the chaos and lawlessness engulfing Egypt. The government headed by President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood is no longer a functioning administration. They have been reduced to the single task of fighting to hang onto power.
None of the forces of law and order - the army, internal security, police - are willing to clash head-on with the opposition protesters rampaging on the streets of the main cities including Cairo.  Some towns have descended into chaos and some outlying areas in this country of 90 million are no longer receiving regular food and water supplies.
The Egyptian defense minister’s warning may be taken two ways:
1.  As a last warning to the Muslim Brotherhood and the opposition on the streets that this is the eleventh hour and if they don’t step back from their confrontation, the military will be forced to seize power to save the country.
2.  Alternatively, that the army will not interfere and will stand aside for now, while warning that a civil war in Egypt would be more extensive and calamitous than the vicious conflict bringing Syria to ruin in the last two years.
As the two countries teeter on the brink of catastrophe, Gen. Eshel’s dry forecast of doom correctly noted that no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
However, Israel is coming face to face with its worst fear: being hemmed in by a blazing ring of hopeless conflicts just across its borders: Syria and Lebanon in the north; Egypt in the west and south; and Jordan under threat.

Obama Pushing American People closer to Armed Resistance


Each and every day now Obama and his syndicate government are pushing harder and harder for the removal of all of our liberties, in order to place us into slavery and create a permanent police state. Even the most dense on the far Left are now aware—some only vaguely—that things are not as they should be. However, the further Left one goes, the more perverse and unstable one becomes.
Luciferianism—Marxist, Nazi, Fascist or otherwise—is and has always been the End Goal of the power-maddened once-human would-be masters and oppressors of the human race. And nation by nation, they have been practicing this tyranny for a very long time.
Members of the Obama syndicate and the growing New World Order globalist elites long ago came out into the open with their plans.
From Agenda 21 (to steal all private property and move humans from rural environments to urban centers where their movements and population numbers will be easier to manipulate and control), through the removal of all human rights (while the “overseers” say they are actually installing them)—in America that’s nullifying the US Constitution and substituting it with ObamaLaw—and replacing the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with the worship of Lucifer (also known as atheism and Islam), our planned overseers are now daily stripping us of everything we have and punishing our beliefs if they do not subscribe to the worship of both their malevolent vision and dark lord. This is what’s occurring. It’s directly in front of us, now, and in our faces.
The atrocities of the current US government and its leaders are truly too many and too vast to itemize here. However, my own columns since 2008 to the present have warned what would happen if Obama was elected to his first term as POTUS and addressed the majority of major abominations he and his lackeys have committed since Obama has been in office. There are, also, multiple books outlining his tyrannical plans and their implementation, including his expert use of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, which teaches overwhelming the US system on every level. I will not and cannot address them all here. However, Richard Poe is also one who writes about this insidious plan in his 2005 article The Cloward-Piven Strategy: “Their article called for “cadres of aggressive organizers” to use “demonstrations to create a climate of militancy.”
” Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of “a federal program of income redistribution,” in the form of a guaranteed living income for all—working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act.”
For the past several years, the Obama syndicate has created one “emergency” after another that had to be addressed “immediately” with no time to take a look at what his syndicate members were actually doing. Because of this, we lost the arguably best health care system in the world to the debasing and not-about-health ObamaCare. It’s tyrannical, taxation with no representation and anti-human reality are only now coming to the surface, while Obama and his adherents laugh loudly at us with champagne and $300-400 per pound Kobe steaks at the still ongoing White House Obama Parties. Did you know that clothing is now charged an additional ObamaTax because ObamaCare states your personal clothes are “medical devices?”
Obama has been summarily firing and replacing US Constitution-upholding Generals and Admirals in the US military with those who will, instead, swear their allegiance to Obama and the United Nations group. Note: Multiple source links to these are available in my past columns.
It strongly appears that Obama may also be creating massacre scenarios, in order to confiscate law-abiding citizens’ legally owned firearms—”never let a crisis go to waste” even if you have to create it? Was the latest the tragedy and horror perpetrated at Sandy Hook? At first—and second—glance I dismissed the information and videos stating that this was all part of the Obama coup to remove our weapons. However, there are so many anomalies, exposed intentionally provided false directions and openly (again…in our faces) faked media footage that it presents us with the necessity of asking questions. There were many who legitimately lost their children and other loved ones from the madman who slaughtered so many innocent lives. For those people, nothing but God and time can help their real pain. But, at least a few of the victims who supposedly lost their children on that horrid day are shown relaxed and smiling just before their “press conferences” when they visibly change their expressions. Note: To date I have not seen these “debunked” (links below) nor even addressed by the debunkers.
Some also seem to have been “victims” at other recent massacres. Also, in all three recent shootings—Colorado theatre, Oregon Mall and Sandy Hook—multiple witnesses report additional shooters who seem to have gotten away. Debunking these ostensible “conspiracy theories” originally presented a full time job for many leftist and at least one conservative site. But, not all of them have been debunked. We will have to make up our own minds, but, we need to consider all of the evidence. We certainly should have learned by now that, with regards to the actions coming from the Obama syndicate, there are no coincidences. One thing, however, that we do know with certainty is that in each of these circumstances, the shooters were taking anti-depressant psychotropic drugs…drugs that, over the years, have proven to have caused multiple suicides and homicides enacted by patients ingesting them.
Since 2009, Obama has been using military helicopters to fly over US cities and tanks and other heavy artillery in “training exercises.”
These cities include but, are not limited to Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Boulder. This is a first in our history as a nation. The populations are not warned ahead of time, in order to create the maximum amount of fear of their government. Obama used the helicopters to fly over residents in Worchester, Massachusetts, and literally dive-bombed residents’ homes waking them up at midnight and his latest escalation in Obama’s ongoing war against US citizens was a fly-over and joint military-local police exercise conducted this month in Miami, FL. 
This time, however, gunfire was added to make it seem more real. The citizenry was not warned ahead of time and many ran for cover. This, my friends, is your government at work…working, that is, to either force you into submission (better give those guns up or else!) or begin the second US Civil War. After all, Obama has now had plenty of practice at doing so—with both his Egypt and Libyan excursions. You didn’t really think those were about democracy, did you? They were about installing Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood as the rulers of those countries, while he used their populations to practice on how to affect his total takeover of the USA…for himself and Islam.
We didn’t vote him out of office and I do realize “the fix was in” so that all too many of our votes against Obama weren’t counted. Therefore, he is now in the process of stepping up his destruction of this country and its population. Or, you can choose to be slaves. That is always a possibility. If you do not want to, again, be a free people and take the responsibility of taking back our country, the freedom to worship our God and ridding ourselves of our oppressors—predominantly in Washington D.C.—you may choose to die slowly. These are now the only 2 options left.
 
Obama’s war—the War against America—has already begun in earnest. This far, our military and too many local police are training to bring us down.
May God bless all who choose to fight and bring back the Republic.

Displaced Sandy Victims Say City Housing Is An Unlivable, Rodent Infested Alternative


NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — Victims of Superstorm Sandy who are staying in temporary housing aren’t expecting room service, but some say that they are living in shocking conditions.
“We’re victims of Sandy but we shouldn’t have to be punished because of that,” a man who identified himself as Monroe, told CBS 2′s Steve Langford.
Residents of these temporary lodgings have complained of a lack of heat and problems with infestation.
“The roaches, and a lot of it has to do with, the mice,” said one man.
Some Sandy victims have been lucky enough to be put up in hotelslike the Holiday Inn and the Double Tree, but more than two dozen former residents of the Rockaways are living in a pair of run down rooming houses in the Longwood section of the Bronx.
Those two buildings have reportedly received dozens of housing code violations and have numerous fire safety problems. When CBS 2 stopped by, a smoke alarm appeared to be running on a low battery; the building’s super said that he would replace it.
Rockaways resident Dennis Sims told CBS 2 that Sandy forced him out of his home and into living conditions that he referred to as ‘a complete dump.’
“Like dirty, filthy, unstable, unlivable,” he said.
Sandy refugees say that they aren’t looking for a room at the Ritz, but that they need livable shelter in the aftermath of the storm.
CBS 2 reached out to the Mayor’s office, the Buildings Department, and the manager of the two Bronx buildings, those calls have yet to be returned.

‘Wall St.’ flees NY for tax-free Fla.


The city’s hedge-fund executives are flying south — and it’s not for vacation.
An increasing number of financial firms, especially private equity and hedge funds, are fed up with New York’s sky-high city and state tax rates and are relocating to the business-friendly climate in Florida’s Palm Beach County.
And they’re being welcomed with open arms — officials in Palm Beach recently opened an entire office dedicated to luring finance hot shots down south.
“Florida is a state of choice,” said Thalius Hecksher, global development chief for Apex Fund Services, who moved many of his operations to Palm Beach. “It’s organically grown. There’s no need to drag people down here. It’s a zero-income-tax jurisdiction.”

SHIP OUT! Relocated finance exec Thalius Hecksher enjoys warm Fort Lauderdale yesterday — and he loves Florida’s lack of income tax, too.
There are other perks, too — like the fact that it was 77 degrees and sunny there yesterday.
“And the lifestyle!” Hecksher added.
Federal tax rates are the same in Florida and New York.
But there’s no state income tax in the Sunshine State. Compare that to New York, where the state and local governments took $14.71 of every $100 earned in 2010, according to state records.
The only state with a higher rate is Alaska.
And Florida residents lost 3.31 percent of their income in total taxes, versus New Yorkers, who pay just over 5 percent, according to the National Tax Foundation’s latest report, which used 2009 Census figures.
That’s a substantial difference in bottom line for those who stand to make millions of dollars a year in income.
Also, commercial property values are much cheaper in Florida, and New York City will likely become even less friendly to businesses when Mayor Bloomberg leaves office next year, hedge-fund executives said.
“You weigh all of the benefits for being here to those in New York, and they outweigh them every time,” said Evan Rapoport, CEO of HedgeCo.net, which is expanding its presence in Palm Beach County.
“This fiscal-cliff issue, with tax rates continuing to go up. We’re seeing where we’re going with taxes,” he said.
“In our industry, the people we’re talking about are $1 million-a-year earners. So when you’re talking about tax rates, it’s more meaningful.”
“Then,” he said, echoing Hecksher, “there’s the lifestyle issue.”
The demand is so high that officials in Palm Beach County have set up an entire office to answer questions from city hedge-funders looking to relocate.
“We’re not doing a multimillion-dollar marketing campaign. We don’t need to,” said Kelly Smallridge, who heads the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, which set up the special unit to handle inquiries and marketing.
“They’re coming to us.”
Without warning, Smallridge said, her organization only recently started getting inundated with hedge-funders.
“The door was open because of the high-tax environment” in the New York area, Smallridge said.
“Smaller companies were moving completely out. Larger ones, looking for expansion opportunities, wanted to expand here,” she said while touting her group’s “free and confidential” consulting services.
The firms can easily pick up and move out of the New York region because technology allows them to do their work anywhere, she said.
That’s exactly what Hecksher — whose company services hedge funds around the world — did when he was looking to expand the firm’s US presence.
New Jersey-based Apex, he said, could easily have chosen Manhattan or Greenwich, Conn. — but instead, the company followed the industry to the tax-friendly Sunshine State.
