I don’t know that I’m ready for this…..

I’ve always known some things.  I’m not sure how I’ve known things, I just have.  Part of it is the nightmares.  For as long as I could remember, I’ve always had nightmares about things.  They usually become deja-vu moments when I remember that I’ve already had a certain discussion or that some events had transpired previously for me.  Sometimes the dreams are so vivid that I struggle to know they are still dreams.  Sometimes they seem so much like real life.

I’m not a mystic and I usually don’t talk about this because I don’t want people to think I’m crazy and I never know which are dreams and which are premonitions.  I’m still skeptical and I’m having the dang things.

I’ve always been tapped into a certain idea that my life was pre-planned in a way.  That I had specific tasks to complete.  I don’t know what those tasks are but I know they need to be completed.  I have some general ideas from actions in dreams and little things that catch my eye.  I find that sometimes there is something tapping you on the shoulder when you need to pay attention to something.  Quite often, these things seem trivial until you start to put the pieces together.

Right now, I don’t like the look of the puzzle.  The presidential race, oil prices, state of the economy… These are all things playing into the hand of some of the dreams that I had hoped were false.  Over the past few years, I have seen certain things as though looking into the future and seeing a bleak, destroyed area but being amazed that it still existed as I sat there.

Today, I got some fairly disturbing news that I really don’t want to repeat.  They are to impossible to believe and are not being circulated in main-stream media.  Basically, they aren’t front page items but there are some sources that are valid sources that are reporting these items.  It is getting really scary.

I’m not one that likes the doom-and-gloom but I seem to be drawn to it.  I don’t want to be but I am.  I really don’t like what I’m seeing.  I don’t like the direction life is going.

I was once told that God has a plan for me.  That I’d been chosen.  Not really for anything big but something necessary.  I’m not sure what that is but I wish I knew.  I wish I had the answer and it would make it easier to prepare but yet, I don’t.

I hope that my premonitions are true because I can’t fathom them being right.   I can’t comprehend the life we are headed for in the near future if we don’t wake up and stop it.  As more things are confirmed, I will post them but be ready for anything.  Don’t go hog wild because you don’t know what is coming (neither do I) but I will post more when I know more…. Be Prepared as the scouts say.

Writ of Habeas Corpus – for detainees?

Talk about a touchy subject.  I have listened to several people discuss the Supreme Court ruling that enemy combatants are allowed a writ of Habeas Corpus.  This basically means that they cannot be detained indefinitely without being charged for a crime and having the evidence against them presented.

A lot of people are upset about this ruling because detainees are considered terrorists and should not be extended rights such as this.

By extending these rights, we are not saying that someone is innocent or guilty, it just means that you need to charge them and punish them accordingly.  This keeps the government in check by not allowing them to round up as many as they want or who they want without charging them with a crime.  If there is not enough evidence or they cannot prove their guilt, the government needs to release them.

I understand that people are upset because most of these people have vowed to kill Americans and America’s allies, however, the detainees may not be those people.  Think back to the Salem witch trials or the Red Scare of the 50’s (look up McCarthyism.)

The Supreme Court ruling, to me, does a couple of things.  First, it shows that the “inalienable rights” that our founding fathers talked about are for everyone.  The Declaration states that “all men are created equal, with certain unalienable rights.”

If they are guilty, charge them.  Present evidence, have a ruling, sentence them.  Cut and dry, simple.

By allowing the military or Federal government to hold them indefinitely without charging them is against our own beliefs, regardless of whether they are US citizens or not.  Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, given the Patriot Act, an American citizen could be shipped to Guantanamo Bay and held indefinitely as a terrorist or enemy combatant.

The US has taken it upon itself to promote democracy throughout the world and have backed up that desire to see democracy spread with military might.  We go into countries that have not known democracy and tell them that they should be like us.  We extend certain rights to our criminal population because of the laws that we live by.  Here we are, as a model for the rest of the world, and we tell these people that we won’t honor our own code of ethics.

Are we 100% sure that the detainees in the American military detention facilities are terrorists?  How do we know?  I’m not sure they should be taken to courts presided over by American Federal judges, but they should be judged by their peers.  They should have evidence presented to support their detention.  Because they fit the profile or we believe they should be there, doesn’t mean that they should be there.

The court decision basically forces the government to prove that these individuals are terrorists and are a threat.  If they are innocent, they should be released.

How long does she have, Doc?

I can’t believe that we are really doing this to ourselves.  Do you realize that our choices for president are very reminiscent of picking the last two players for dodge ball in elementary school?  You know that neither are going to amount to much but you have to pick one.

I was supportive of John McCain but after finding out that he did a flip-flop, I’m a bit on the upset side with him.  I watched a couple of clips of the Presidential primaries where he basically attacked Mitt Romney, who really isn’t a favorite of mine anyway, but attacked him for not giving a valid yes-no answer to prisoner interrogation tactics that involved torture.  The actual method of torture being discussed was waterboarding.   If you aren’t familiar with waterboarding, Google it and you will get a very good idea.

Well, I was in John’s corner up until I found out that after his little outburst that he voted against a measure that would make torture tactics like waterboarding illegal.  How can you denounce something as pure evil and then turn around and support it?  He may not have come out in total support but this is one of those, “If your not with us, your against us” type things.  If you don’t vote against it, YOU VOTE FOR IT!!!!!

Then we have Obama and anyone who has watched any of this circus, we already know.  If you don’t, Youtube is a very good source of Obama clips.  I’m not entirely sure why he’s popular.  No offense, but he’s an idiot.  I guess there was some offense there but that was the nicest way I could put it.

Some reports are showing that we are already in trouble.  If Obama gets elected and gets to enact any of his economical policies, we may as well as learn Chinese so we can speak with our new landlords.  I’m a conservative, if you haven’t figured that out but am really getting to a point where I’m opting out of the Republican party.  There is just no sense to the political party system any longer and it has really become a fiasco.  Lawyers are running our country and we all know the rumors about lawyers.  They are so honest, aren’t they?

So, the question needs to be asked.  Given the current economic climate, housing prices in the basement (figuratively), unemployment on the rise and, oh ya, $4/gal gas, any idea how long it will be before we see a complete governmental collapse of the US?  Not that we couldn’t have stopped it.  All it took was for us to lift our heads and pay attention a little.

I don’t want to be a doomsdayer but look around.  We aren’t in the happiest of spots.  We are in a recession that is 2 steps away from being a full-blown depression.  We are in a war against terrorists that look a lot like regular middle-easterners.  We have a government that can’t keep together (referring to Scott McClellan – Google search…), we have a president that has lied to the public and then lied about lying.  We have enemies that are chomping at the bit for a chance at the title.  We have a border that couldn’t keep out a foreigner in a wheel chair being slowed down by 400 lbs. or marijuana.  We support illegal aliens who have killed and/or raped offering them amnesty while we tell the victims family to go to hell.

So, how long does our country have, really?
