This is the statement that suggests it was written in late 2000:

“In 1996, the federal government gobbled up $1.538 trillion of our substance. The OMB’s estimate for fiscal year 2000 spending is $1.766 trillion, and for FY 2001, $1.835.”

I see what you're saying now. It appears that, although the website post was done in October 2009, it was a posting of a much-earlier text. My apologies.

Claire Wolfe seems to have underground in the last few years -- last blog posting from her, I think, was some time back in 2007. It would be interesting to see what she would have to write about what's going on today -- no doubt, it would be something provocative and razor-sharp.

It still resonates today.

I was also reminded of this 2000 incident in which Republicans refused to let the Miami-Dade votes be counted only by democrats behind a locked door, but pounded on the door shouting "LET US IN!! LET US IN!!": -- what if our Republican senators had done that to the closed door sessions of health care work?

scroll down to "Taking it to the street"

and "Republican protestors storm Miami-Dade election office"
