BBC – July 13, 2009:

The US budget deficit has moved above $1 trillion (£616bn) for the first time – with three months of the financial year remaining, official data show.

The government stepped up spending to counter the recession, and the bailout of financial institutions has taken a huge chunk out of government finances.

Falling tax revenues and unemployment benefit spending have also contributed.

The figure compares with $455bn for the whole 2007/8 financial year, but the 2008/9 deficit was expected to soar.

AP – July 12, 2009:

In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks – and the finding that some terrorists entered the United States using phony passports – the State Department proposed mandating that Americans and foreign visitors carry “enhanced” passport booklets, with microchips embedded in the covers.

In February 2005, when the State Department asked for public comment, it got an outcry: Of the 2,335 comments received, 98.5 percent were negative, with 86 percent expressing security or privacy concerns, the department reported in an October 2005 notice in the Federal Register.

Did the 98.5 percent of responses in opposition force them to scrap the idea? Between this and the fall 2008 “TARP” bill also overwhelmingly opposed by the American people, it’s difficult if not impossible to argue that America is even a functioning democracy, let alone a Constitutional republic. It seems to me that a government that acts against the will of 99% of the people is something closer to a dictatorship.

President Obama’s top science and technology advisor John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children.
