Keeping Jobs in America? : Government Run General Motors Does Almost $300 Million Dollar Deal To Build Cars in China
During the Election Obama said this in a Speech in Ohio about Jobs:
"When it comes to jobs, the choice in this election is not between putting up a wall around America or standing by and doing nothing. The truth is, we won’t be able to bring back every job that we’ve lost, but that doesn’t mean we should follow John McCain’s plan to keep giving tax breaks to corporations that send American jobs overseas and promoting unfair trade agreements. I will end those breaks as President, and give them to companies that create jobs here in the United States of America."
So I guess that Means that Government Run GM isn't getting a Tax Break since they are Sending Jobs to China.
According to an Article on BBCNews.com, Government Run General Motors(GM) has signed a Deal with the Government Run Chinese Car Maker FAW to make Light Trucks and Cars.
This Deal that will create jobs in China, and Not the U.S., will cost the American Tax Payer almost $300 Million Dollars.
According to Kevin Wale, Managing Director of GM's Chinese operations:
"For us in China, this is an important complement to the rest of our portfolio. We are well established in passenger vehicles and mini commercial vehicles and we haven't had a presence in the truck segment."
So Somehow GM can't make Trucks in the U.S. and Ship them to China for Sale....Could that be due to the "Unfair Trade" that Still exists between China and the U.S.?
Nah....
The President is just trying to Keep His Promise to the Chinese People....

Obama Pay Czar Worth Almost $50 Million Dollars
I love it when the Supposed "Have Nots" have more than the "Haves". It appears that the Man who was appointed to "Restrict Income" by the President of the United States, is so Wealthy, he doesn't have to make a pay check.
According to an Article in Reuters, Kenneth Fineburg, Obama's Pay Czar, has approx $50 Million Dollars in Assets and Past income:
"Kenneth Feinberg made $5.76 million last year as a partner in his Washington law firm, Feinberg Rozen LLP, according to a government ethics filing obtained by Reuters.
And his assets, which include a stake in his law firm, two homes and dozens of investments, are worth anywhere from $11 million to $37 million, according to the filing, which places assets in broad value categories.
His homes are a $1.66 million house in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington, and a $1.96 million vacation home in West Tisbury, Massachusetts, on Martha's Vineyard."
On top of all of this, the Article states that the "Pay Czar" has almost another $2 Million Dollars from investments, Real Estate Sales and a Settlement.
One has to wonder....
Does the Fact that the Pay Czar is Wealthy mean that he is a Hypocrite for Restricting other's Pay to Prevent them from becoming "Rich"?
Or is this just a Great Example of the "Man"....
Keeping the "People" down?

Wealthy Supporters of the President Gather @ Union Hall to Push for "Free" Health Care : Monsterous Carbon Foot Print Created By Event
The Last Time I saw this many High End SUVs and Expensive Suits was when I stumbled accidentally into a DNC Convention. With all of the Money that the Supporters of the President have, I am Surprised that they Need "Free" Government Health Care. Besides, when you combine all of the electricity for the lights, the Gas for the Bus, and all of the Gas Guzzling SUVs at the Event, the Carbon Foot Print Alone that was created will cause the Earth to Self Destruct in 2 Years( according to Al Gore). What do the Supporters of the President need with Free Government Health Care when they are Killing us all with their Irresponsible use of the Earth's Natural resources? But I Digress....
I attended the Organizing for America Health Care Rally in St. Louis Last night. The Event was held at the IBEW Union Hall and was attended by approx 800 People. As Some of the Supporters of the President's Health Care Plan walked to get to the Union Hall, the Sound of "Tea Baggers" and "Racists" reverberated in their mists as they passed Protesters of the Event.
Approx 200 people from the St. Louis Tea Party arrived on Scene to voice their opinion against the Government Health Care Plan. Bill Hennessey was the M.C. for the Protest. The Event was peaceful, but a Union "Plant" did mix with the Tea Party Crowd and attempt to cause Trouble. But once the "Plant" realized he was being Recorded, he attempted to start Ridiculous Chants but was laughed into Silence by the Crowd (See Video Below).
One of my Fellow Bloggers, Sharp from http://www.sharpelbowsstl.blogspot.com/, infiltrated into the event even after he was "Recognized" at the Gate by a Liberal Blogger. They tried to deny him entrance but failed due to the fact that he had an RSVP in Hand. He Recorded some amazing coverage from the inside and posted it on his site.
As the Tea Party was leaving the Event about 5 Police Cars and a Paddy Wagon arrived on scene. It appears that some of the Members of Organizing for America didn't appreciate the Boisterous Tea Party Protest and was hoping to have them silenced with the use of the St. Louis Police. But as the Police approached those Tea Party Protesters that were left, they assured us not to worry and to stay as long as we like. Thank You to the St. Louis Police Officers for Defending our Right to Gather in Peaceful Protest, they were very Professional and Kind.
About a half a dozen Conservative Protesters stayed on the Corner of Elizabeth and Hampton to make sure that those leaving the Event got a Chance to read their wonderful handmade signs. I stayed to record the Group in hopes that the Camera would head off any trouble that this small group may incur. For the most part it did, but I have never been called a White Supremest, Red Neck, Tea Bagger that many times in my life(or ever). The Flock of "Birds" that accompanied these intellectually deficient observations were large enough to create several "Flocks". One Person leaving the event in their car even yelled "Hurry up and Die Smoking those Cigarettes" at a Young man enjoying an evening Smoke while holding his sign.
Ahh..Compassion at it's best....
For the most part this event was "Staged" to look as if the President's Health Care Plan has overwhelming Public support. Unfortunately the only support it is appearing to attract are the people who are told to be there....
Driving their SUV's.....
Cheering a Gas Guzzling Bus....
Irony...Gotta Love it.
I have more Video of the Event to Post, but last night I was having trouble with my Internet Connection. When I get home from "Work" later today I will finish uploading all of the Footage that I took last night.
Check back after 8:00 P.M. CST for Updates...

Video from August 29th Protest in O'Fallon MO
Here is some video I took at the 'Corners Protest' at HWY K&N in O'Fallon MO on August 29th.
Enjoy!
.
Enjoy!
.
Pictures from O'Fallon MO K&N Protest
I and 250-300 People attended a "Corners Protest" in O'Fallon MO today. There is a Protest at the Corner of HWY K&N in O'Fallon MO every Saturday from 1:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M in order to Protest the Unconstitutional expanse of Government . Part of that "growth" is illustrated in the Health Care Bill, which is what we were protesting today.
Last week at the O'Fallon Corners Protest, a couple of Counter protesters Showed up and caused trouble. The police were called and there was a Threat made that the Opposition would show up with 100 People next week. Well, they didn't show. The only Opposition I saw, was a Sign in a Car window as it drove by.
It was heartening to see so many people come out to Protest for their Freedoms and to Stand against Tyranny. Below are some Pictures I took at the Protest Today.
Even though the Event was peaceful, the Protest did get a little heated due to the fact that Lucifer showed up on scene to 'Counter protest' and Push the Health Care Bill, which he appears to take credit for....

Court Orders Home School Christian Child into Government School
According to an Article in World Net Daily(WND):
"A 10-year-old homeschool girl described as "well liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level" has been told by a New Hampshire court official to attend a government school because she was too "vigorous" in defense of her Christian faith.
The decision from Marital Master Michael Garner reasoned that the girl's "vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view."
The Government Doesn't want to control you.....lol

Feds Use Your Kids to Encourage Your Census Participation
Don't Plan on Filling out the Unconstitutional Parts of Next Years census? What "unconstitutional parts of the Census you ask ? Go Here to read an Article about the Unconstitutional Census:
.
.
It looks like the Government has a plan to pressure you onto completing that Unconstitutional Census, they are going to use your Kids.
.
According to an Article in USA Today, the Federal Government is going to start a program in the Schools that Teach Your Children about the "importance of the census." How are they going to do this? Well they are going to Send:
.
"posters, teaching guides, maps and lesson plans to every school in the nation, Puerto Rico and U.S. island territories to encourage everyone to participate in the national count. The materials will land in more than 118,000 schools and reach 56 million students."
.
This School Material, of course, will leave out the Facts that this New Unconstitutional Census asks how far you drive, how many people ride in your car, even how many 'flushing toilets' you have.
.
The reason why the Federal Government is targeting your Children with this Propaganda, according to the Chief of the Census Schools program, Renee Jefferson-Copeland, is because:
.
"children are such strong voices in their homes, In households that are linguistically isolated, they can express the information to their parents."
.
But don't worry yourselves about the Federal Government influencing your Children because like the President said, he doesn't want to run Insurance Companies, Car Companies or Your Health Care....
.
Oh wait ..maybe you should worry...
.
Because he didn't say anything about Not wanting to Control your Children......

Hard Line Liberal Democrat Calls 'Moderate Blue Dog Democrats'- "Brain Dead"
According to an Article on Breitbart.com, Pete Stark, Democrat from California, said this about his 'Moderate' Democrat Counter parts, the Blue Dog Democrats:
"They're for the most part, I hate to say, brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process."
The Blue Dog Democrats have been standing in the way of the President's Health care plan for weeks. It appears that the "Far Lefties" in the Democratic Party has had enough of "Honest Debate."
If this is how the Democrats treat some of their own when they disagree, how can anyone believe that they would give a darn about you and Your Health care. If this is how they treat people they have known for years, people they have ate with, visited with and actually know.
Why would they care if you Die or Not?

Possible 90,000 Dead from Swine Flu? Centers for Diease Control Says...Um No.
After a Week of the White House Fear mongering on a Possible Death Toll of 90,000 from the "Swine Flu",According to an Article on CBS News, the Center for Disease Control has Countered that Claim by saying:
"Everything we've seen in the U.S. and everything we've seen around the world suggests we won't see that kind of number if the virus doesn't change.
"Everything we've seen in the U.S. and everything we've seen around the world suggests we won't see that kind of number if the virus doesn't change.
While the swine flu seems quite easy to catch, it so far has not been more deadly than the flu strains seen every year during the cold months: many people have only mild illness. Also, close genetic tracking of the new virus as it circled the globe during the past five months so far has shown no sign that it is mutating to become more virulent."
But the White House has talked up the Fact that they hope to have enough "Swine Flu Vaccine" for Most people in the United States by Fall.
The Problem is IF the Swine Flu mutates, the Vaccine will be almost Useless since it has been created to combat the current version of the "Swine Flu."
Every Year the Regular Flu Vaccine is issued for "Certain Types" of the Flu Strain. But since it doesn't cover Flu Strains that Mutate during the Flu season, it won't help a Person build up an immunity for the Mutated Version.
So what the Government expects to accomplish by Hyping up the Death Toll and a Vaccine for the Current Swine Flu, when it won't help if the Swine Flu Mutates during the Fall, is not clear.
But some suggest maybe the Fear Mongering has something to do with Trying to Create Support for the President's Health Care Plan.
I guess this could be a Continuation of the Administrations Motto:
"Don't Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste."

Bozeman Montana Tea Party Demand Apology from Senator Baucus
According to an Article on a Local Montana CBS Station, the Bozeman Montana Tea Party is Demanding an Apology from Democratic Senator Baucus(seated in the Picture above).
.
The Bozeman Tea Party Claims that right after a Public Meeting with Senator Baucus, the Tea Party praised the Event by saying:
.
"It was a good back and forth between the crowd."
.
But later, the Senator was quoted in the Media as Saying that the People at the Event were:
.
" not civil. This was the closest thing to a mob that I've ever experienced in my life." He was also quoted in the New York Times, saying the group included "agitators, whose sole goal was to intimidate, disrupt and not let any meaningful conversation go on."
.
These Comments have caused the Bozeman Tea Party to Demand an Apology from the Senator. The Spokesman for the Bozeman Tea Party said:
.
"the protesters were gathered to oppose a government takeover of health care and said doctors, professionals, elderly individuals and children all gathered to express their concerns."
.
Repeated attempts to get a Comment from Senator Baucus's Office have failed.

National Endowment for the Arts to Become Obama's New "Propaganda Machine"
The First "Leader" to Create a Very Large and Extensive Propaganda Machine was Stalin. Stalin enlisted thousands of Artists to create some of the most creative and even Beautiful Propaganda to help Push the "States" Agenda. Below are some examples:
The Above Poster says, " Learn the Great Path of Lenin and Stalin's Party."
The Above Poster says, " (Top) in the U.S.S.R, (Bottom) In the U.S.A.
The Above Poster Says," Love Your Motherland."
The Above Poster Says," Have You Enrolled as a Volunteer?"
Very interesting Communist Art. I hope you Like it, if not, Get used to it, you will be seeing more of it here in the United States.
I learned after the conference call that there were approximately 75 people participating, including many well respected street-artists, filmmakers, art galleries, music venues, musicians and music producers, writers, poets, actors, independent media outlets, marketers, and various other professionals from the creative community. I suppose I was invited because of my work in creating arts initiatives, but being a former employer of the NEA’s Director of Communications was probably a factor as well.
Backed by the full weight of President Barack Obama’s call to service and the institutional weight of the NEA, the conference call was billed as an opportunity for those in the art community to inspire service in four key categories, and at the top of the list were “health care” and “energy and environment.” The service was to be attached to the President’s United We Serve campaign, a nationwide federal initiative to make service a way of life for all Americans.
The people running the conference call and rallying the group to get active on these issues were Yosi Sergant, the Director of Communications for the National Endowment for the Arts; Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement; Nell Abernathy, Director of Outreach for United We Serve; Thomas Bates, Vice President of Civic Engagement for Rock the Vote; and Michael Skolnik, Political Director for Russell Simmons.
We were encouraged to bring the same sense of enthusiasm to these “focus areas” as we had brought to Obama’s presidential campaign, and we were encouraged to create art and art initiatives that brought awareness to these issues. Throughout the conversation, we were reminded of our ability as artists and art professionals to “shape the lives” of those around us. The now famous Obama “Hope” poster, created by artist Shepard Fairey and promoted by many of those on the phone call, and will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” song and music video were presented as shining examples of our group’s clear role in the election.
Obama has a strong arts agenda, we were told, and has been very supportive of both using and supporting the arts in creative ways to talk about the issues facing the country. We were “selected for a reason,” they told us. We had played a key role in the election and now Obama was putting out the call of service to help create change. We knew “how to make a stink,” and were encouraged to do so.
Throughout the conversation my inner dialogue was firing away questions so fast that the NRA would’ve been envious. Is this truly the role of the NEA? Is building a message distribution network, for matters other than increasing access to the arts and arts education, the role of the National Endowment for the Arts? Is providing the art community issues to address, especially those that are currently being vehemently debated nationally, a legitimate role for the NEA? I found it highly unlikely that this was in their original charter, so I checked.
The NEA was created by the Congress of the United States and President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 as “a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education.” The issue of health care is curiously absent from this description on their website.
So I’d like to start a little debate and ask you, the reader, the same question. Do you think it is the place of the NEA to encourage the art community to address issues currently under legislative consideration? "
Now instead of totally violating any Copy write Laws and Fair use rules let me just post the Last Few Paragraphs of his narrative:
And if you think that my fear regarding the arts becoming a tool of the state is still unfounded, I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “

According to an Article on Big Hollywood, The Obama Administration and the National Endowment for the Arts(NEA) are teaming up to Recruit the Top artists in the Industry to create Art that Supports the President's Agenda.
.
An Artist called Patrick, was invited to participate in a Conference Call with the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement and United We Serve. Below is a Transcript from the Experience that Patrick Had:
.
"On Thursday August 6th, I was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts to attend a conference call scheduled for Monday August 10th hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve. The call would include “a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, taste-makers, leaders or just plain cool people to join together and work together to promote a more civically engaged America and celebrate how the arts can be used for a positive change!”
I learned after the conference call that there were approximately 75 people participating, including many well respected street-artists, filmmakers, art galleries, music venues, musicians and music producers, writers, poets, actors, independent media outlets, marketers, and various other professionals from the creative community. I suppose I was invited because of my work in creating arts initiatives, but being a former employer of the NEA’s Director of Communications was probably a factor as well.
Backed by the full weight of President Barack Obama’s call to service and the institutional weight of the NEA, the conference call was billed as an opportunity for those in the art community to inspire service in four key categories, and at the top of the list were “health care” and “energy and environment.” The service was to be attached to the President’s United We Serve campaign, a nationwide federal initiative to make service a way of life for all Americans.
.
It sounded, how should I phrase it…unusual, that the NEA would invite the art community to a meeting to discuss issues currently under vehement national debate. I decided to call in, and what I heard concerned me.
It sounded, how should I phrase it…unusual, that the NEA would invite the art community to a meeting to discuss issues currently under vehement national debate. I decided to call in, and what I heard concerned me.
The people running the conference call and rallying the group to get active on these issues were Yosi Sergant, the Director of Communications for the National Endowment for the Arts; Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement; Nell Abernathy, Director of Outreach for United We Serve; Thomas Bates, Vice President of Civic Engagement for Rock the Vote; and Michael Skolnik, Political Director for Russell Simmons.
We were encouraged to bring the same sense of enthusiasm to these “focus areas” as we had brought to Obama’s presidential campaign, and we were encouraged to create art and art initiatives that brought awareness to these issues. Throughout the conversation, we were reminded of our ability as artists and art professionals to “shape the lives” of those around us. The now famous Obama “Hope” poster, created by artist Shepard Fairey and promoted by many of those on the phone call, and will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” song and music video were presented as shining examples of our group’s clear role in the election.
Obama has a strong arts agenda, we were told, and has been very supportive of both using and supporting the arts in creative ways to talk about the issues facing the country. We were “selected for a reason,” they told us. We had played a key role in the election and now Obama was putting out the call of service to help create change. We knew “how to make a stink,” and were encouraged to do so.
Throughout the conversation my inner dialogue was firing away questions so fast that the NRA would’ve been envious. Is this truly the role of the NEA? Is building a message distribution network, for matters other than increasing access to the arts and arts education, the role of the National Endowment for the Arts? Is providing the art community issues to address, especially those that are currently being vehemently debated nationally, a legitimate role for the NEA? I found it highly unlikely that this was in their original charter, so I checked.
.
The NEA published a book entitled National Endowment for the Arts: A History 1965-2008 early this year. Combing through the 40+ year history of the NEA, I could not find a single instance of the agency creating or supporting a national initiative that encouraged the art community to address current issues under contentious debate.
The NEA was created by the Congress of the United States and President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 as “a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education.” The issue of health care is curiously absent from this description on their website.
So I’d like to start a little debate and ask you, the reader, the same question. Do you think it is the place of the NEA to encourage the art community to address issues currently under legislative consideration? "
Now instead of totally violating any Copy write Laws and Fair use rules let me just post the Last Few Paragraphs of his narrative:
.
"I’m not a “right-wing nut job.” It just goes against my core beliefs to sit quietly while the art community is used by the NEA and the administration to push an agenda other than the one for which it was created. It is not within the National Endowment for the Arts’ original charter to initiate, organize, and tap into the art community to help bring awareness to health care, or energy & environmental issues for that matter; and especially not at a time when it is being vehemently debated. Artists shouldn’t be used as tools of the state to help create a climate amenable to their positions, which is what appears to be happening in this instance. If the art community wants to tackle those issues on its own then fine. But tackling them shouldn’t come as an encouragement from the NEA to those they potentially fund at this coincidental time.
And if you think that my fear regarding the arts becoming a tool of the state is still unfounded, I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “

85 Congressmen Support Single Payer Bill : Vote in September to Replace H.R. 3200 With Single Payer Bill
There is a Bill in Congress called H.R. 676 that will institute a Fully Government Controlled Health Care System, also known as Single Payer.The Bill was introduced by 2 Democrats, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) .
.
There will be a Vote on the Floor of the House to add an Amendment to the President's Bill H.R. 3200 and Replace it with H.R. 676. The Amendment Says:
.
"The Single-Payer Amendment to HR 3200, introduced by Rep. Anthony Weiner1 amends Division A of HR 3200 by substituting the provisions of HR 676, “The U.S. National Health Care Act” for its presentcontents. HR 676, introduced by Rep. John Conyers Jr., would create a single-payer National healthinsurance system – an expanded and improved Medicare for all.
.
The Single-Payer Amendment to HR 3200 would establish a single-payer national health insurance plan to provide comprehensive, high-quality health benefits to all Americans."
The Single-Payer Amendment to HR 3200 would establish a single-payer national health insurance plan to provide comprehensive, high-quality health benefits to all Americans."
.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is expected to introduce a similar Amendment to the Senate Bill.
The Administration and Many in Congress Claim that they do Not want a "Single Payer System", even though the President is on Video saying he wants a Single Payer System and 85 Congressmen Support H.R. 676.
To See the List of the 85 Supporters of H.R. 676 Go To:
Supporters of H.R. 676 have started a Group called, Health Care Now. This Group is made up of
"labor, community organizations, doctors, nurses, women, small businesses, faith-based organizations, people of color, netroots activists, and think tanks"
This Group is Directly responsible for forcing the Vote of the Amendment in September in the House and for the Introduction of the Amendment in the Senate.
.
One of the Biggest supporters in Health Care Now is the SEIU. This is the Same Union who's members beat up the Black Conservative, Kenneth Gladney, at a Russ Carnahan Rally in St. Louis Missouri.
.Democratic Representatives John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich have even started a website to collect funds in order to Run ads in support of Bill H.R. 676. Here is one of their Ads Below:
So when you hear that the President and the Congress are giving up on a Single Payer system, don't believe it.
They are just trying to Sneak it in the back Door.

Why the Government is doing Cash for Clunkers and Coming Soon : Cash for Refrigerators
Those of you that read my Blog regularly know Why the Government has created the Program, 'Cash for Clunkers'. For those that are new Readers, here is the Gist of it.
Cash for Clunkers was designed to remove all of the old Gas Powered Vehicles off the Road and force everyone to Buy a Government Created, Smart Gird Compatible, Smart Car. They do this by destroying the "Clunkers" instead of reselling them and then only allowing the Government 'rebate' to be used on Government approved Vehicles. This initial Program was the 'Pilot' Program for one that will be made into law sometime in the Near Future. They will probably cram it in the Cap and Trade Bill or some other piece of legislation that is 1000 pages long.
To Read a More Detailed Description of why the Government is doing Cash for Clunkers Go To:
http://poedpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-cash-for-clunkers-is-behavioral.html
Now the Government is going to start a New pilot Program to test it's effectiveness called Cash for Refrigerators.
This Program will pay rebates, through state energy agencies, to people who buy more energy efficient Appliances. Now where this program differs from 'Cash for Clunkers' (Which was probably an over site) is that the New 'Cash for Refrigerators' Program does not force you to Destroy your old Appliances.
Now Why is the Government choosing to do this Program?
Again, this has everything to do with the Smart Grid and Eventual total Government Control of your Life.
The 'Smart Grid' is the new system that is being built by the Federal Government with the Cooperation of Mega Companies like GE and Microsoft, that will allow the Utility company to Change the Temperature on your Thermostat, turn off your Hot water heater, Change your Electricity Rates by the Minute and base on Peak usage, as well as even adjust the Temperature in your oven and in conjunction with Cap and Trade , design a Personal "Carbon Footprint Report" so that the Government can Restrict your Individual Creation of CO2.
This is why the President said that we will not be allowed to have our Homes set at 72 degrees anymore, because he won't let us. The Smart Grid is how he is going to accomplish this..
Now in order for the Smart Grid to Control all of the Appliances in your house, they need to be replaced with "Demand-Control" appliances. These New type of Appliances will have the ability to talk to the "Smart Grid" and take commands from the Government via the Utility company.
But in order for everyone in the Country to replace their old Appliances with New 'Demand- Response Appliances', the Federal Government has to come up with a way to Make you Buy what they want you to buy, without you realizing the fact that they are controlling you. By using a 'Cash for Refrigerators' Program, people are encouraged to buy a Government approved Appliance in order to get the Rebate. That is called Behavioral Economics. The Government controls your actions and decisions by encouraging the behavior it wants you to adopt, in this case through Rebates.
Right now Demand-Appliances are not in Show rooms yet, but they will be by the end of the Year. Because the Smart Grid is set to go online some time next year in many places in the United States.
By the Government doing 'Pilot Programs' now( Cash for Clunkers and Cash for Refrigerators) when they are made into Law or just brought back later, you will not think twice about why. And you will believe that it is just what they say it is, the Government trying to 'help the Economy'.
But now you know, the Real reasons for these Programs is to Force you to Live the Way the Government wants you to live....Force you to Pay for the Destruction of your Own Freedom.
It's Just like the Slave Master Telling the Slave....
