<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tesi cospirazionista: e&#8217; il weekend in cui i poteri occulti tramano per i nuovi assetti finanziari mondiali, da Dubai a Wall Street a Mosca.</p>
<p>Queste sono solo scosse, le zolle geopolitiche si scontrano, diplomazia, piombo, terrorismo, calunnie, siamo arrivati in quella fase della storia umana segnata da un bivio&#8230;..è messo in gioco il programma del Governo Mondiale.</p>
<p>Però è sempre un bivio, e basta poco che il programma non decolli, anzi si rompa come la macchinina nelle mani del bambino viziato.</p>
<p>Il pianeta Terra è nelle mani di uomini viziati, se la macchinina si romperà inizieranno a piangere, e sfogheranno la rabbia non si sa dove.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>A SPECIALIST integrity unit has been formed inside the Department of Immigration to deal with widespread fraud in the working holiday visa program, on which industries such as fruit growing depend. </strong></p>
<p>More than 200 internet advertisements have been found offering to buy or sell documents allowing backpackers to claim they had worked in rural jobs without them leaving Sydney, and thus extend their working holiday visas. The standard fee is $400. So far, 64 visas have been cancelled over the fraud and at least 19 more are being reviewed.</p>
<p>One man, an Irish national, has been convicted of fraud. &#8221;There&#8217;s been more than 100 fraudulent claims identified this financial year,&#8221; a spokeswoman for the department said. &#8221;The answer is we don&#8217;t know [the full extent of the fraud]. At this stage it&#8217;s too early to determine and we will be looking at it over the next six months.&#8221;</p>
<p>The working holiday visa (subclass 417) allows people to extend their stay in Australia by a year if they can prove they have worked in a rural area for three months. Applications are lodged online but have been abused by people selling Australian business numbers linked to farms so backpackers can falsely claim they worked on farms.</p>
<p>&#8221;Second year visas for sale,&#8221; one ad read. &#8221;Will email completed 1263 form and add your details to my books so you can gain second year visa with ease.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another ad offering similar services, posted on the Gumtree website on Saturday, had received more than 2000 hits by last night. Unlike visa scams targeting international students, mainly Indians, this fraud is used mainly by European visitors.</p>
<p>One backpacker told the <em>Herald</em> he had been offered the false documentation as soon as be arrived in Australia, by people staying at the same hostel.</p>
<p>&#8221;People told me about buying the documents &#8211; getting the numbers to put in,&#8221; he said. &#8221;When I arrived here people said you can go there [to a farm] or you can buy. Everyone knows about it. It&#8217;s easy. All the people who are here know about that.&#8221;</p>
<p>The federal Opposition spokeswoman on immigration, Sharman Stone, said the widespread fraud reflected under-resourcing of the department.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/national/candle-burnt-out-long-before-20091127-jwvw.html">SMH</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8221;We have to move forward,&#8221; said Hockey. &#8221;Clearly this issue has done us incredible damage and I hope the Australian people forgive us for having this very public display. But I say to the Australian people: <strong>we are a progressive party.</strong>&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>With all the turmoil and intrigue of the Coalition&#8217;s civil war, it&#8217;s been easy to miss some of the little details. Far more interesting than theorizing over a Liberal Party disintegration that isn&#8217;t going to happen is this important piece of rhetoric from the man who might be their leader as soon as next week.</p>
<p>Australian politics, though not to the extent of its American counterpart, has shied away from overt expressions of left wing ideology in recent decade. Even Keating, with his heartfelt embrace of reconciliation, the republic, an improved relationship with Asia, and other such small-l liberal causes, he was still an economic rationalist who had little time for old Labor socialism. John Howard proudly proclaimed his conservatism, as did his fellow party-members. Such was the benefit of being associated with the right wing that Kevin Rudd, as a new Opposition Leader, invented a reputation for himself as &#8220;an economic conservative.&#8221; The last thing any self respecting member of mainstream Australian politics wished to claim was an affiliation with the greenie, latte-sipping, chardonnay-swilling, inner-city left. In fact, the only time in recent years that being seen to be a conservative was a problem was for the NSW Liberals in 2007, and that&#8217;s because no one in the state could quite believe anyone could be to the right of NSW Labor. (Barry O&#8217;Farrell won&#8217;t make the mistake Peter Debnam did; that&#8217;s why he&#8217;s clamping down on the hardline conservatives in his party causing troubles with Hitler parodies.)</p>
<p>But all of a sudden, thanks to the 2007 election, the unpleasant aftertaste of 11 years of John Howard, and issues that resonate within the electorate like climate change, being a leftie ain&#8217;t that bad anymore. Look at Uncle Joe up there!</p>
<p>Excuse his blatant falsehood; whatever stance the Liberals should form on climate change, they are not a progressive party. Not even Petro Georgiou is anything more than a moderate conservative who knows how to act like a human being around refugees. The Liberals have long liked to call themselves a, well, liberal party, but after a half-century of conservative policies, it&#8217;s hard to believe them.</p>
<p>This, though, is different[1]. Hockey is adopting a tag usually associated with students, Greens voters and other assorted ratbags: <em>progressive</em>. Liberals are never progressive. They can be &#8220;wet,&#8221; or &#8220;moderate&#8221; or &#8220;centrist,&#8221; but never &#8220;progressive&#8221;; unlike the Labor party with its right wing, their centrists aren&#8217;t described as lefties. But here Hockey sees a political benefit for his party in the public perceiving them as more left-wing than they actually are. It&#8217;s the same mechanism Rudd used with his social-conservative schtick; the public didn&#8217;t trust his party to be economically responsible, so he claimed the opposing ideology for it.</p>
<p>And you can see why Hockey&#8217;s doing it, even though a big chunk of his party is determined to convince the country they&#8217;re anything but progressive. The Australian political center is definitely to the left of the Coalition on this issue. They don&#8217;t support an ETS as strongly as they used to, but they still greatly approve of doing something about climate change. The Coalition is simply not progressive enough on this issue, and in the words of Ian Macfarlane, &#8220;Malcolm Turnbull is modernising the parliamentary Liberal Party &#8230; He is bringing the party into the 21st century and there are some people who want to keep the party in the &#8217;60s.&#8221;</p>
<p>On this issue, being progressive is, for once, not a dirty word. In fact doing what the Liberal Party is doing, as Turnbull says, is &#8221;irresponsible from an environmental point of view and it is completely and utterly self-destructive from a political point of view.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[1] I think adopting &#8220;progressive&#8221; and &#8220;liberal&#8221; are different things, because liberal is not only the name of their party, it has suggestions of classical liberalism about it. Progressive is just calling yourself a pot-smoking vegetarian friend-of-the-ABC.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>from: <a href="http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=24007">http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=24007</a></p>
<p><img title="Lesbians and Gays to Protest  Vallejo's Homophobic Mayor Osby Davis" src="http://www.shewired.com/Images/Articles/24007/24007_TopNews_osbymain.jpg" border="1" alt="Lesbians and Gays to Protest  Vallejo's Homophobic Mayor Osby Davis" hspace="3" />Gay rights activists are planning a protest against Vallejo, California mayor Osby Davis after he called gays &#8220;sinful&#8221; in a interview with the <em>New York Times.<!--more--></em></p>
<p><em>Mayor Osby Davis told the <em>New York Times</em> gays are &#8220;committing sin and that sin will keep them out of heaven. But you don&#8217;t hate the person. You hate the sin that they commit.&#8221; <em>The New York Times</em> quoted Davis as part of an article titled &#8220;Faith and Tolerance Collide in Vallejo,&#8221; which explores rising tensions in the city between recent gay and lesbian transplants and evangelical Christians.</em></p>
<p>Davis defeated openly gay candidate Gary Cloutier by just two votes to take the post of mayor in Vallejo in 2007. Cloutier said the Vallejo city council is rife with anti-gay sentiment and he has repeatedly been introduced as &#8220;a gay&#8221; in council meetings.</p>
<p>Davis later apologized for the comments in a press statement, saying his words were taken out of context. &#8220;I have worked hard to unite Vallejo and I will continue to do so. To those I have offended by my comments, I apologize&#8230; I care for the entire community and my desire is to build consensus on our diversity. Let me be clear, I have and will stand against hatred, discrimination and divisiveness wherever they exist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bay activist and former planning commissioner Charles Legalos is pushing for the mayor&#8217;s censure over his statement to the <em>New York Times</em>. &#8220;His comments were completely out of line,&#8221; Legalos told the <em>Oakland Tribune</em>. &#8220;They have no place coming from a city official.&#8221;</p>
<p>Openly gay Catholic priest Lou Bordisso, a former school board candidate, is planning a protest on Dec. 1 against Davis in front of City Hall. Bordisso told the <em>New York Times </em>he believes local evangelical Christians &#8220;have a hidden agenda to impose their particular version of Christianity on the citizens of Vallejo.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The mayor&#8217;s comments were of a theological nature and he was acting in his capacity as mayor and that&#8217;s completely unacceptable,&#8221; Bordisso said, according to <strong><a href="http://www.fox40.com/"><em>Fox40.com</em></a><a href="http://www.fox40.com/">.</a></strong> &#8220;There needs to be a separation of church and state.&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[At the Herald, Peter Hartcher looks at Joe Hockey&#8217;s probable rise to the Liberal leadership ne]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>At the <em>Herald</em>, <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/devil-of-a-decision-for-liberals-latest-hope-20091127-jwvx.html">Peter Hartcher looks at Joe Hockey&#8217;s probable rise</a> to the Liberal leadership next week:</p>
<blockquote><p>If Joe Hockey wants to be the next leader of the Liberal Party the job is his &#8211; for a price. It&#8217;s very expensive. He will spend this weekend agonising over whether he wants to pay it.</p>
<p>It has three instalments. First, he has to be prepared to sacrifice his family life. This is standard for any political leader, but Hockey&#8217;s circumstances are particularly delicate.</p>
<p>He has three children under the age of five, one of them a newborn. Xavier is 4, Adelaide 2, and the new arrival, Ignatius, is just five weeks old.</p>
<p>And Hockey&#8217;s wife, Melissa Babbage, is committed to a demanding job of her own. As the head of foreign exchange trading at Deutsche Bank in Sydney, she is responsible for an $800-million-a-year business.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not an ideal moment to move to an all-consuming, travel-heavy, sleep-destroying job with towering expectations and minimal resources.</p></blockquote>
<p>That this is a consideration at all for a male politician is a small but fairly significant step. In the old days, it would have been a no-brainer for Hockey to place his career over his family and take the top job. (Disregarding the other factors Hartcher mentions: that it would require sacrificing his support for an ETS, and place him in the leadership at a time he&#8217;s unlikely to succeed.) A man in Hockey&#8217;s position would once have assumed he could leave the child-raising to his wife, while he got on with the serious man-business of politics.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s to Hockey&#8217;s credit that he considers the business of raising his family to be, at least in part, his responsibility, and that he&#8217;s willing to share the burden of doing so with his partner, Melissa Babbage. The challenge women face of balancing a career and a family can&#8217;t be easy for Babbage, particularly considering the size of her career and the size and youth of her family. That challenge is eased if it&#8217;s a challenge that belongs to her husband as well. That Australia appears to accept this is a reasonable consideration for a prospective leader to make is an undoubted good thing.</p>
<p>Of course, I suspect Hockey would have an easier time deciding to go for the leadership than if the roles were reversed and Babbage was weighing whether to sacrifice her family life for her career, she would have a slightly tougher time convincing the public that this was OK. Though we should be, I&#8217;m not sure we would be as comfortable with a mother of young children tilting at the leadership as we are with a father in the same position.</p>
<p>Then again, perhaps not. In the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Sarah Palin ran for Vice-President with five children, including a new-born. Despite all manner of other criticism directed at her, there was a little in the way of discussion as to whether it was appropriate for her to take on a position of such responsibility while acting as mother to a large family. And nor should there have been; as with Hockey, that was a decision for her and her partner.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Happy Thanksgiving everyone! &nbsp; I am forwarding this for your consideration.  Please be responsi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I am forwarding this for your consideration.  Please be responsible with your own life as we work through the nightmare that has been handed down to us.  I always print hard copies of this type of information in case I need it later.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The court cases that I include below fortify the fact that U.S. citizens are &#8220;resident aliens&#8221; within their states of the Union that compose the Republic. I am also convinced that a foreign U.S. citizen of D.C. accepts citizenship in the corporate structure that operates within his state of the Union such as the 1857 &#8220;State of Iowa&#8221; that operates within the borders of the 1846 state called Iowa.</p>
<p>To lawfully achieve total freedom under common law, U.S. citizens have to wake up to the fact that they are citizens of &#8220;a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in the family of nations&#8221; such as Red China and they are definitely not Citizens in the Republic consisting of the United States meaning &#8220;the collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution&#8221;. Under English common law you are a citizen of the country in which you were born for life (in my case Iowa) and you can never ever expatriate from your country in which you were born and you have no choice in the matter. Under the government&#8217;s Roman Civil law you can freely expatriate from your country of Michigan and voluntarily choose to become a citizen of any foreign jurisdiction if that jurisdiction will accept you as its citizen. The common law exists in the states while the Supreme Court has stated in Erie Railroad v. Thompkins that there is no federal general common law. The Supreme Court has also opined as follows:</p>
<p>The term &#8220;United States&#8221; may be used in any one of several senses. It may be merely the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in the family of nations. It may designate the territory over which the sovereignty of the United States extends, or it may be the collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution. HOOVEN &#38; ALLISON CO. v. EVATT, 324 U.S. 652 (1945) ; and</p>
<p>&#8220;The people of the United States resident within any State are subject to two governments: one State, and the other National; . . . . . The citizen cannot complain, because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government. He owes allegiance to the two departments, so to speak, and within their respective spheres must pay the penalties which each exacts for disobedience to its laws. &#8221; U S v. CRUIKSHANK, 92 U.S. 542</p>
<p>This means the U.S. citizen has &#8220;voluntarily submitted himself&#8221; into being a foreign U.S. citizen and &#8220;subject&#8221; to two governments under Roman civil law. The Declaration of Independence says &#8220;deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.&#8221; U.S. citizens born in the states voluntarily provide consent for their just powers and don&#8217;t even realize their subject status by their citizenship in D.C.</p>
<p>There are two of nearly everything and this really confuses people. The Iowa Supreme Court has stated that there are no common law crimes within &#8220;The State of Iowa&#8221;. The courts of the corporate &#8220;State of Iowa&#8221; will give the common law no standing, all while the Iowa Supreme Court has also opined respecting Iowa, to wit:</p>
<p>We have previously acknowledged that although not expressly declared by our statutes or constitution to be part of Iowa law, &#8220;the common law has always been . . . in force in Iowa.&#8221; Iowa Civil Liberties Union v. Critelli, 244 N.W.2d 564 (Iowa 1976) In the Supreme Court of Iowa No. 125 / 05-0485 (Certified Question of Law)</p>
<p>This opinion was a certified question of law presented to the Iowa Supreme Court by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.</p>
<p>All of this is why I have formally declared allegiance to my country of Iowa (not the corporate State of Iowa) and I have renounced my U.S. citizenship in the foreign jurisdiction where there are no rights but only privileges the same as if one voluntarily joins the Army.</p>
<p>George Gordon explains that if a person is feeling depressed and goes to the insane asylum and tells the nice lady at the desk about it and checks himself into the institution, and after a couple of weeks on Prozac he&#8217;s feeling better, he cannot check himself out without the institution&#8217;s permission. Under federal law, the only way a U.S. citizen can remove himself from the insane asylum after checking himself in is by expatriation in accordance with its codified rules and regulations. You can expatriate from the jurisdiction of United States by declaring allegiance to a foreign country. The United States is a foreign corporation with respect to Iowa and Michigan. My formal declaration of allegiance to the country of Iowa, with explicit declaration of expatriation from the admiralty jurisdiction of the United States, falls smack under United States Code Section 1481 (a) (2), as the jurisdiction of the United States is foreign to the common law jurisdiction of Iowa. We were born to U.S. citizens and a birth certificate was obtained for us and we were registered as U.S. citizens. We were then the State&#8217;s child and we could be removed from our parents at any time under equitable proceedings for the best interest of the child. We were never taught by State certified teachers that if we wanted to be free as our ancestors we needed to take appropriate action to achieve the status as free men under common law in the Republic when we reached 21 and now 18 years of age. If we had taken appropriate action we would be &#8220;non-taxpayers&#8221; as Citizens of the state of the Union in which we were born and we would be capital [C] Citizens of the (several) United States as designated in the Constitution and not small [c] citizens.</p>
<p>Fifty dollar bills are legal tender in the jurisdiction of the United States and in its 1857 sub-corporation named &#8220;The State of Iowa&#8221; with its capitol in Des Moines. Fifty dollar gold coins are lawful money under Article I, Section 10 of the federal Constitution within the common law jurisdiction of the 1846 state called Iowa whose capitol is in Iowa City. The capitol in Iowa City sits empty because basically all the free people in the Republic have expatriated to the jurisdiction of the United States and under the Fourteenth Amendment are citizens of its sub division &#8220;State of Iowa&#8221; and subject to the jurisdiction of its statutes. As subjects most people elect representatives to pass such things as seat belt laws and driver license statutes for their insurance companies that insure them. Free men practice strict liability under the common law, and don&#8217;t affect any public interest whatsoever. When a free man of the Republic is drug into court it will be presumed that he is a subject with a social security number thereby affecting a public interest and needs to be regulated under public policy. This presumption needs to be properly destroyed if we want to be free. I believe that the &#8220;state of Iowa&#8221; was created with its 1846 Constitution and is the Republic while the 1857 &#8220;State of Iowa&#8221; is a federal State for passing law on U.S. citizens like Puerto Rico is the proper name of a part of the United States. I&#8217;m sure a U.S. citizen and a resident of the &#8220;State of Iowa&#8221; under the Fourteenth Amendment could just move to Puerto Rico and become a Fourteenth Amendment citizen of Puerto Rico with the same U.S. privileges there, and have the same form 1040 tax obligations there, or vice versa.</p>
<p>U.S. citizens that are residents of the State of Iowa are subject to statutes that are in derogation of the common law while free men in the Republic are not. Statutes in derogation of the common law law are advisory with respect to free men. Iowa Code Section 4.2 states: &#8220;The rule of the common law, that statutes in derogation thereof are to be strictly construed, has no application to this Code. Its provisions and all proceedings under it shall be liberally construed with a view to promote its objects and assist the parties in obtaining justice.&#8221; This means that an Iowa statute must bend when dealing with a free man if the free man knows how not to consent to be prosecuted under one of these statutes.</p>
<p>There is definitely a dual system between the states united under the Constitution and the United States that is analogous to a mini-United Nations and headquartered in D.C. The U.S. income tax system is a voluntary system and it is voluntary because it is predicated upon &#8220;citizenship&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The revenue laws are a code or system in regulation of tax assessment and collection. They relate to taxpayers and not to non taxpayers. The latter are without their scope. No procedure is prescribed for non-taxpayers and no attempt is made to annul any of their rights and remedies in due course of law. With them Congress does not assume to deal, and they are neither the subject nor the object of the revenue laws.&#8221; Stewart v. Chinese Chamber of Commerce, 168 F.2d 709, 712.</p>
<p>Again, you can see the dual system. U.S. citizens residing in the State of Michigan or State of Iowa are taxpayers. This is why in an interview Harry Reid stated that he did not understand the phraseology when talking about the voluntary income tax system and was then asked if he meant that &#8220;taxpayers&#8221; don&#8217;t have to pay their income taxes. To most ignorant people Harry Reid looked like a blubbering idiot when he did not come right out and specifically let the cat out of the bag. The Supreme Court has opined that the 16th Amendment added no new taxing powers, but I contend that the Fourteenth Amendment did add new taxing powers for those people within the states and wishing to be &#8220;subject to the jurisdiction thereof&#8221; so they can receive U.S. socialized security or food stamps or &#8220;free?&#8221; State education for their children.</p>
<p>Being completely free and residing in the Creator who endows men with certain unalienable rights, and not residing in the State for security, is a very scary thing for most people! It wasn&#8217;t always so scary when neighbors took care of neighbors in need, but with U.S. citizenship everyone thinks the government should pick up the task. And the problem is you can&#8217;t be partially free in the Democracy that the founding fathers never had a good word for, nor put Democracy in the Constitution. Being partially free is like a woman being partially pregnant. Old Ben Franklyn indicated, &#8220;He who would give up liberty for a little security deserves neither.</p>
<p>Because people look back at the freedom our ancestors had while still enjoying constitutionally secured rights in their state, and want to also live in freedom but are now &#8220;voluntarily&#8221; subject to the jurisdiction that was foreign respecting our ancestors, the United States now has 5 1/2 times the prison rate compared to the next closest sovereignty in the family of nations, The Peoples Republic of China.</p>
<p>A foreign U.S. citizen doing any business within a state is deemed to be in interstate commerce and thereby subject to the commerce clause in the Constitution.</p>
<p>I am convinced that to be free we need to first achieve our status as sovereigns in our states, abstain from interstate commerce over which the United States has delegated authority, and then as free men we have to appropriately break that foreign jurisdiction in its court system that is operating here in lieu of exercising jurisdiction at law. This foreign jurisdiction is the antithesis of the common law of the states. Even if we have the status of free men, judges and magistrates will continue to operate upon presumption that we are subject to their statutory law. The judges operate under this law, to wit: &#8220;Whenever the Code creates a &#8220;presumption&#8221; with respect to a fact, or provides that a fact is &#8220;presumed,&#8221; the trier of fact must find the existence of the fact unless and until evidence is introduced that supports a finding of its nonexistence.&#8221;</p>
<p>I believe that we, as sovereign free people, need to vey timely and properly challenge the jurisdiction of these courts without ever pleading into their foreign jurisdiction with a &#8220;not guilty&#8221; plea, nor ever allowing the judge to plead us into his foreign jurisdiction as if we are his subjects, and we need to properly submit evidence to the trier of fact that shows our status as free men to break the presumption that we are subject to his statutes within the jurisdiction under which he operates.</p>
<p>Howard Freeman used to pose the following question to the judges while equity has no cognizance of criminal matters, &#8220;This court has two criminal jurisdictions. One is a common law jurisdiction and the other is a condition of contract under the criminal aspects of an admiraly jurisdiction. Under which jurisdiction is this court planning to try this case?&#8221;</p>
<p>A soldier in the Army is in admiralty jurisdiction by his enlistment contract and if he doesn&#8217;t peel potatoes when the sarg say so, it is criminal.</p>
<p>The Bible says: &#8220;My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.&#8221; I always tell the grandkids, &#8220;Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is forever.&#8221; And boy have I overcome a bunch of ignorance in about the last 10 months after spending some time in jail and putting information from George Gordon, Bill Thorton, and others together in my head.</p>
