“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin... But if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit .” ~ Josiah Charles Stamp (English Economist President of the Bank of England in the 1920's and the 2nd richest man in Great Britain, 1880-1941)

“John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil, but Microsoft wants it all, you name it: cable, media, banking, car dealerships.”

The Dept Of Defense briefed Obama this morning and told him that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq.
To everyone’s surprise, all the color drained from Obama’s face. Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked, “just how many is a Brazilian?”
This is especially enlightening since he obviously has no understanding of what a billion or a trillion is either.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.
The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone’s jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, “What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?”
Yep, these are the 18 year olds that just voted for Obama, the President of the United States.
He tells her, “That’s 100 lbs. of dynamite, Baby.”
He takes off his pants and the blonde says, “What massive calves you have!”
The body builder tells her, “That’s 100 lbs. of dynamite, baby.”
He then removes his underwear, and the blonde goes running out of the apartment screaming in fear.
The body builder puts his clothes back on and chases after her. He catches up to her and asks why she ran out of the apartment like that.
The blonde replies “I was afraid to be around all that dynamite after I saw how short the fuse was!”
Oh darn; you’ve put up some wonderful image that my work’s firewall blocks, haincha? I’ll forward it to my home addr.
