OLD SCAM BACK AGAIN

There are two scams coming back that have been around.
The first is leaving a call back message on your phone. If you return the call it automatically bills you $20.00 and $9.00 for each minute afterwards.
If you don't recognize the number don't call back.

The second is the Obama Utilities help.

OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT

Awesome!! She is Fried!  SHE IS Pissed, but oooh so correct...

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of the Deficit Commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. 

Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think she is a little ticked off!  She also tells it like it is!

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud..

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the"greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.  And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

Colorado Bill Coming After the Standard Shotgun

GUN LAWS

'Coming After the Standard Shotgun': Colorado Bill is Under Fire

Republican state reps are outraged by proposed law

A bill that's passed the Colorado House legislature could ban the state's most popular hunting shotgun.
"They're coming after the standard shotgun," Republican state Sen. Greg Brophy told CBS4. "This is the most extreme thing anybody's ever done related to firearms."
The bill is supposed to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines, and defines them as magazines that can hold or be converted to hold over 15 rounds or eight shotgun shells.
The "can be converted" part is where the problem arises. The pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the state's most popular, according to CBS Denver, and it can easily be converted to hold more that eight rounds. The bill will ban new sales of the shotgun after July 1, and owners can only keep the shotgun if they "maintain continuous possession of it," which means they can't surrender it to a gun owner for repair or to a family member to use.
Democratic lawmakers say they're drafting an amendment that will exempt the shotgun from the law.
Colorado is looking at a raft of gun bills that are making gun owners anxious, including a Democratic proposal to make sellers and owners of assault weapons liable for damages caused by shootings.
Biden told Colorado Democrats last month that the bills would "send a strong message to the rest of the country that a Western state had passed gun-control bills."

Mainstream media now openly admits the FBI and CIA are reading all your emails

Mainstream media now openly admits the FBI and CIA are reading all your emails

via NaturalNews.com on 11/17/12

For years, those of us who have tried to warn the American public that Big Brother monitors all Internet users were demonized, vilified and ridiculed. Now, the mainstream media has proven us correct. "The U.S. government -- and likely your own government, for that.

 matter -- is either watching your online activity every minute of the day through automated methods and non-human eavesdropping techniques, or has the ability to dip in as and when it deems necessary -- sometimes with a warrant, sometimes without," ZDNet reported earlier this month. "That tin-foil hat really isn't going to help. Take it off, you look silly."

The Petraeus case

Where's the proof that the government has this capability?

You might recall a fellow by the name of (retired) Gen. David Petraeus. He's been in the news lately.

This four-star general-turned-CIA chief just resigned his post after news broke that he had engaged in an extra-marital affair with is biographer, herself a West Point graduate and former Army officer.

What led to this shocking discovery was Petraeus' use, of all things, Google's online email service, Gmail.

According to federal law, mind you, authorities are not legally permitted to electronically snoop around in your email box.

"The government can't just wander through your emails just because they'd like to know what you're thinking or doing," Stewart Baker, a former assistant secretary at the Homeland Security Department who's now in private law practice, told The Associated Press. "But if the government is investigating a crime, it has a lot of authority to review people's emails."

Or, in the case of the CIA, if the agency wants to track a suspect ostensibly for "national security" purposes. Ditto the NSA.

The wrangling of Petraeus' email account has certainly landed him in a world of trouble, but his story has also, once again, ignited a new the debate over when, how and why governments and law enforcement agencies alike are able to access the email accounts of ordinary citizens - even if they head up the most powerful spy agency in the world.

Granted, experts say "the little people" needn't worry much about having their online presence tracked. Agencies like the CIA generally tend to have bigger fish to fry, so to speak. But nevertheless, the technology to pilfer email accounts at will obviously exists.

"Forget ECHELON, or signals intelligence, or the interception of communications by black boxes installed covertly in data centers," writes Zack Whittaker for ZDNet. "Intelligence agencies and law enforcement bodies can access - thanks to the shift towards Web-based email services in the cloud - but it's not as exciting or as Jack Bauer-esque as one may think or hope for."

(Editor's Note: ECHELON, for those who are unfamiliar with it, is the name of "a global Communications Interception (COMINT) system created by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to routinely and indiscriminately monitor and record all forms of electronic communications worldwide (both military and civilian) and overseen by the National Security Agency," according to one published description of the program.)

How the top CIA official got busted

When he set up his private Gmail account, Petraeus used a pseudonym and composed email messages but never sent them. They were instead saved as drafts. His lover, Paula Broadwell, would then log in under the same account, read the drafts then reply to them in the same manner - as a draft, without actually sending the message.

The exchanges would not be sent across the networks through Google's data centers, which would make it nearly impossible for the NSA or any other ELINT (electronic intelligence) agency (like Britain's GCHQ or the Israeli Mossad) to "read" the messages while they are in transit between accounts.

Other sinister operators - terrorists, pedophiles and the like - have been known to use the same trick to avoid detection, ZDNet reported.

"But surely IP addresses are logged and noted? When emails are sent and received, yes. But the emails were saved in draft and therefore were not sent. However, Google may still have a record of the IP addresses of those who logged into the account," the report said.

In the end, the FBI used a little-know law called the Stored Communications Act, which is part of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, as the basis for getting a warrant to view Petraeus' private Gmail account. And that's how agents found the stored messages that were never actually sent.

"Once it knew Ms. Broadwell was the sender of the threatening messages, the FBI got a warrant that gave it covert access to the anonymous email account," the BBC's Mark Ward reported.

Yes, I do feel strongly about this

Yes, I do feel strongly about this. No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense. If each person who receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around. Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ." You are one of my 20+. I passed it on, will you? "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice," and these brave soldiers have given you that right!!
