He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time.. Worth remembering!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted – by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan …
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish;
to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators,
to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like
"the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from
doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees…
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
What you do with this article now that you have read it… is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren't so true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,

Tries to think.

If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid…
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
`Taxes drove me
to my doom…'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the heck happened? Can you spell `politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!
GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN!!!

This is cool...talking about the spacecraft we'll learn to fly (if and when)...
Wes Annac, via email, Aug. 2, 2012
Our consciousness and the consciousness of the craft in which many of us take home, are quite linked. We have built our craft in our Divine image and imparted upon it the consciousness that sees it able to perform many duties without our Guidance. We have not programmed our ships to do the jobs which are needed throughout our endeavors in helping the Earth, rather we work with our technology to produce the results that we desire.
Upon entering and getting used to flying our craft, you all will become much better able to understand the effect that each and every thought and impression will have upon the direction and intention of the craft and where the craft will be headed.
A very key part of our initial landings and giving of technology will be letting you dear souls try out flying around in our craft. This will be coordinated in a safe manner as it is understood [by us] that you will be familiarizing yourselves with such craft, and this will be done in a way that will ensure no crashes or destruction as you familiarize yourselves with our craft and the general way that they operate, as well as the fact that they are genuine consciousness which will respond to your thoughts and impressions.
For example, one who is feeling and holding negative emotions within would not resonate with the energies of our craft, and our craft would likely wish to be removed from the vicinity of the individual based on the sheer energy and emotion that the individual would be bringing forth.
This is because our craft are much like us, in that they are ascended fifth dimensional souls who do not resonate with the lower dimensions. We say not to worry of angry souls affecting our craft in negative way upon our giving of such craft to you, because [by the time the crafts are given] the overall collective energies would have vastly grown away from such lower densities and negativity that would hurt our craft, energetically and emotionally as well as directionally.
You will be introduced to our craft in a way that is not too overwhelming, and we will first have our craft set to what you would best understand as the autopilot feature whenever allowing you to test them out.
By this we mean that we will not at first be giving you the features of the craft which will immediately respond to every thought and impression that you give, as much of humanity has not yet Mastered their emotions and impressions enough to be able to handle the sensitive and rapid nature in which our craft respond.
Though the Light quotient will again, be much purer upon our showing of our craft to you and our allowing you to fly around with our craft, it will still be important to ensure safety as many will still be undergoing the most intense phases of their ascension processes as you are all exposed to truths and revelations that will change you and bring you away from your former third dimensional Lives.
We anticipate already, the willingness in many of you to fly around in our craft and we can feel that this anticipation is being felt as many absorb this communication. We say that the showing and giving of our craft will be one very small facet of the technology and revelations alike that will be given.
You are to be given portable, handheld free-energy devices which will also respond to the thoughts and impressions given. There will be an easy process of adjusting and integrating your own personal energies into this technology, in the same manner that we integrate our energies into the consciousness of the craft which we Create.
We note that many of you Love personalizing and stylizing your cell phones and your various other handheld technology, in ways that show your specific signatures. We say that our technology will [allow] the ultimate form of your doing this, as you will literally be working with this technology by funneling an aspect of your own consciousness within it.
Upon finishing this process, you will find your technology responding immediately to the thoughts, feelings and impressions that you give out, and you will find that as it is imbued and endowed with your energy, it will instantly know your favorite places of travel among many other things, and will be able to transport you to such places.
Methods of transport with our technology are far from sparse.
We are going to offer you a very wide range of ways to make your travels, including stargate technology that could be considered quite ancient in the face of other technology. There will be the stargate option for those specifically interested in stargates, and there will be the option for one to own a craft which one will increasingly become used to as ones personal energy is endowed more and more within such craft, and there will be as well the handheld, free-energy based technology that will be given to all and that will itself be a fragment and aspect of your overall soul-consciousness.
This device which has been discussed before, will enable you to make holographic or video phone calls, will allow you an instantaneous travel with [built in] technology similar to that of the stargate, and will be able to do a plethora of other things that the ego-limits of our scribe are simply not allowing us to explain, due to the sheer difference in reality that such features are and will bring.
Your perceptions are to be shattered in bold ways that are to see your realities expanded exponentially, and the giving of our technology will fill you with the very same Lighted and free energy that our presence upon your surface is to bring.
You have been following updates on the ongoing financial situation on your world, and you have long heard of the temporary new financial system that is in place for during and after the fall of your current system, which has been based only in debt and in a feeding of the elites as they have given themselves gross sums of money by manipulating this former system.
We expect difficulty to be very small and short-lasting, but how events play out specifically in relation to the fall of your current financial system and the implementation of the new, temporary one, will depend on how the collective of humanity reacts when greeted with such issues.
Many have made the call for you dear, beautiful incarnate Lightworkers to do all that you can to quell the fear and chaos that could be garnered in the immediate period ahead amongst the unawakened populace, as we intend for one truth and perceived leak to cause a cascade of truth and Light. What we mean by this is that we intend for one strong, intense event that is going to get the collectives attention, and as this attention is garnered we intend to use the manifestation of such an event to segway into the many truths of what has been done on your world.
The fabled announcements will be ongoing for some time and while there have been many planned broadcasts and discussions, both pre-taped and live as things are being explained, we cannot go into specifics at this time about the nature of these discussions or how they are to be presented and brought about, as the events surrounding the announcements and the methods in which we are bringing them about must be kept in secrecy at this time.
This is why you have not heard much talk [as of late] from channeled sources on the actual commencement and planning of the announcements, as they are a small and needed facet of your overall awakening and collective enlightenment and while they are important, they must be kept in secrecy at this moment as we explain instead very many other angles and facets of the giving of truths and technology to your world.

THE RED QUEEN RETURNS
~ TO PERFORM HER SWAN SONG ~
WITH UPDATES TO A MODEST REBUTTAL
It's the second anniversary of A Modest Rebuttal. It was two years ago that Nancy Lieder launched a war against me and this ning. In those two years, nothing has changed really .
For those who are not familiar with A Modest Rebuttal, it is a blog I published in July 2010 in defense of my reputation after a vicious defamation campaign launched by Nancy Lieder of zetatalk.com and poleshift.ning.com. You can find that blog and supporting documents at https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/a-modest-rebuttal.
This update will be eye opening, to say the least. Among the topics are absolute, 100% proof positive of false ZetaTalk (or, as some might call it, labeling NancyTalk as ZetaTalk); proof of Nancy's STS nature; signs of mental illness; and a possible solution to replacing her so the spirit of the good Zeta message can continue.

The Plan and What You Can Do
I have received new intel about the Plan.
The Event will be a multidimensional breakthrough for planet Earth that will send waves of Light across the Universe. The Event will be spiritual and physical in nature. It will encompass a breakthrough in removal of non-physical negative entities, mass arrests of the Cabal and drastic increase of sightings of positive UFOs. It will be an unified effort of the Pleiadians, the Resistance Movement, Positive Military, White Dragon Society and other positive groups.
The Event is scheduled for October this year or later.
The Event is only the beginning, then things will go as fast as humanity can integrate. First Contact operations will proceed along with the restructuring of the system. New financial system will be very short lived since after the First Contact money will become obsolete. The Ascension will NOT happen on December 21st. Humanity needs a lot of healing and December 21st is just the beginning of the Ascension process.
