What is the Federal Reserve System and how does it control the US government?
The Second Bank of the United States (SBUS), in 1816 engineered a cycle of prosperity and depression. The central bank caused inflation by creating debt/money for loans and credit and making these funds readily available. The economy boomed. Then they used the inflation which they created as an excuse to shut off the loans/credit/money.
The resulting shortage of cash caused the economy to falter or slow dramatically and large numbers of business and personal bankruptcies resulted. The central bank then seized the assets used as security for the loans. The wealth created by the borrowers during the boom was then transferred to the central bank during the bust. And you always wondered how the big guys ended up with all the marbles.
Keep in mind that when banks foreclose on a property they don't loose anything, they gain everything, they gain all the assets as security for the loan. So banks still have the assets of the property even when the bank "fails" due to not having enough cash on hand. The FED steps in and buys the assets which were security for the loans. The FED creates a crisis then buys the secured assets of a bank. We the American taxpayer pay the FED interest in the form of federal income tax. A TOTAL SCAM!

Have you ever thought about what the "Federal Reserve System" is and who controls and owns it? It is owned by about 300 "stock holders" These 300 stock holders control the US Government by controlling the US economy through the money they print and "loan". Who are these 300 "stock Holders"? Read the article below to find out.
......................................................................................
The FED controls the US Government through international bankers.
......................................................................................
These interests control the Federal Reserve through about 300 stockholders:
* Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin
* Lazard Brothers Bank of Paris
* Israel Moses Seif Bank of Italy
* Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam
* Lehman Brothers Bank of New York
* Kuhn, Loeb and Co. of New York
* Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
* Goldman, Sachs of New York
Because of the way the Reserve was organized, whoever controls the Federal Reserve Bank of New York controls the system, About 90 of the 100 largest banks are in this district.
Of the reportedly 203,053 shares of the New York bank:
* Rockefeller's National City Bank had 30,000 shares
* Morgan's First National Bank had 15,000 shares
* Chase National Bank had 6,000 shares
* National Bank of Commerce (Morgan Guaranty Trust) had 21,000 shares.
A June 15, 1978 Senate Report called "Interlocking Directorates Among the Major U.S. Corporations" revealed that five New York banks had 470 interlocking directorates with 130 major U.S. corporations:
* Citicorp (97)
* J.P. Morgan Co. (99)
* Chase Manhattan (89)
* Manufacturers Hanover (89)
* Chemical Bank (96)
....................................................................................
These are the major 'stock holders" that control the US Government
....................................................................................
It is believed that the Rothschilds hold 53% of the stock of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Each year, billions of dollars are "earned" by Class A stockholders from U.S. tax dollars which go to the Fed to pay interest on bank loans.
....................................................................................
Rep. Wright Patman of Texas said that the Federal Open Market Committee (who, in addition to the Board of Governors, decides the country's monetary policy) is "one of the most secret societies. These twelve men decide what happens in the economy ... In making decisions they check with no one -- not the President, not the Congress, not the people."
Rep Patman also said:
"In the United States we have, in effect, two governments ... We have the duly constituted Government ... Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution."
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Congressmen and Senators down through the years have openly spoken of the hidden government that controls America. Only a few have told us the truth. Only a few of Americans have listened or understood what they were saying about the Federal Reserve System. The secret meetings of the "open market committee" control the US Government by controlling the economy. This is easy to understand if you take the time to learn about the Federal Reserve System which is a private banking system controlled by foreign bankers!
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Have you ever thought of who pays the interest to the Federal Reserve System? The American taxpayer. The amount of interest the taxpayer pays is controlled by Congress when it lowers or raises the amount of tax we pay each year. So there are the interest rates we pay for loans controlled by the FED Reserve and the interest rates we pay the FED, controlled...no not by Congress as you would think..., in the form of income taxes. We actually pay the FED in interest twice!
We the people live on one large plantation called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Lets think about what just happened. The FED convinced Congress to borrow money from them to "bail" out their own stockholders. This is money that the FED has loaned to the US Government with interest paid by the taxpayer along with the money borrowed.
This is called "spreading the wealth around" as Obama put it. He said he wants to spread the wealth around. The FED has been doing just that for the last century and Obama wants to spread it around even more. George Bush has been spreading the wealth around just as have all the Presidents and Congress for the last 100 years. Because the FED Reserve controls the economy the FED also controls the President and Congress. For this to have become known to me I have had to simply take the time to study who the Federal Reserve is, who owns it and what it does. Most Americans don't care or don't know about the FED Reserve. It is very strange to think that the shadow government controls America but it is true.
Rep Patman also said:
"In the United States we have, in effect, two governments ... We have the duly constituted Government ... Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution."

The Bank of England was granted a royal charter on July 27, 1694, by William III to regularize the monarchy's finances. This scheme was invented by a Scot promoter named William Paterson. The scheme was to create a bank with a "fund for perpetual interest". Fractional reserve banking was created, along with the radical monetary concept of a "monopoly" bank which would create money for loans that would never be repaid. A perpetual money machine for the monarchy was born. The permanent National Debt was born. The Bank of England would finance the emerging empire from its headquarters in the City of London. Never again would the lack of money, or liquidity, hamper the British empire under normal economic conditions. Conveniently, the monarchy also controls the City of London. This assures that the heart of the economic machine will always be protected.
....................................................................................
The US did everything in their power to remove British influence and control from this continent. Again and again we defeated all attempts to allow our money to be controlled by a National (Central) bank. When Central banks were established, we abolished them. Times changed, and Thomas Woodrow Wilson was elected. The intellectual who wanted the League of Nations (the progenitor of the United Nations) was elected. Under his leadership, we received the Federal Reserve, and the Sixteenth Amendment (Income Tax) shackling us into slavery to the British Crown forever. In 1917, Wilson made the world safe for democracy by plunging the US into World War I
On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act, also known as the Glass-Owen Bill, was passed. The Republican controlled Senate rammed the bill through when many members of the US Congress were home for the holiday. The President, Dr. Thomas Woodrow Wilson, signed it into law one hour after being passed by the Congress! Somebody very powerful really wanted this law passed. The Federal Reserve System is an independent central bank. Although the President of the United States appoints the chairman of the Fed, and this appointment is approved by the United States Senate, the decisions of the Fed do not have to be ratified by the President, or anyone else in the executive branch of the United States government. Buried in the legislation was the granting of total power over the monetary policies of all US banks. A very curious statement is found in the original 1913 law. SEC. 30. The right to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved. Reserved expressly to whom, or what? No definition is provided. This is the entire Section 30 statement! "Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice".
Stock not held by member banks shall not be entitled to voting power. This clause guarantees that no outsider can justify buying shares in the Federal Reserve.
12 USC 3019 Federal reserve banks, including the capital stock and surplus therein, and the Income derived therefrom shall be exempt from Federal, State, and local taxation, except taxes upon real estate.
(The private bankers don't pay any income tax of any kind on their wealth!)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The US government has no formal control over the foreign operations of the Federal reserve banks! The Federal reserve banks are exempt from all taxation. These people are very independent. Independent of audits, independent of congressional supervision, and independent of the American voter.
SEC. 25.Any national banking association possessing a capital and surplus of 1,000,000 dollars or more may file application with the Federal Reserve Board, upon such conditions and under such regulations as may be prescribed by the said board, for the purpose of securing authority to establish branches in foreign countries or dependencies of the United States for the furtherance of the foreign commerce of the United States, and to act, if required to do so, as fiscal agents of the United States. Such application shall specify, in addition to the name and capital of the banking association filing it, the place or places where the banking operations proposed are to be carried on, and the amount of capital set aside for the conduct of its foreign business. The Federal Reserve Board shall have power to approve or to reject such application if, in its judgment, the amount of capital proposed to be set aside for the conduct of foreign business is inadequate, or if for other reasons the granting of such application is deemed inexpedient.
(The Fed's financial independence arises because it is hugely profitable due to its ownership of government bonds. (It gives the government billions of dollars each year.)
.....................................................................................
The British Crown, or the British monarchy is the owner of the Federal Reserve. This is their real secret. The strategy of the Federal Reserve is their other secret. Again, it is right of front of us, but no one sees the obvious. The strategy of the Federal Reserve is to accumulate all the wealth through the very slow, but effective, technique of currency debasement. The monarchs of old used to shave or clip the coins as they passed through their treasuries. Now the process is more sanitary (no more clipping and scraping all those dirty coins). John Maynard Keynes clearly stated that at there is no more effective method of destroying a society than through currency debasement.
....................................................................................
The primary reason for its success is the inability of most people to understand that more is not necessarily better. A recent conversation highlighted Kenyes's observation. There is some agitation to raise the minimum wage in my state. I listened to a proponent of a higher minimum wage. I attempted to point out that an increase in a large number of people's income would only result in prices going up, along with the obvious tax increases. "What was I talking about?" was the response. I explained that some percentage of people might wind up dealing with tax bracket creep (increases), and all will have with the obligatory tax increases that follow from any price increase. If nothing else, the sales tax must go up because the prices have gone up. I was immediately informed that I was the most negative person they had ever talked to.
The Federal Reserve will always debase the currency to take its cut, and guarantee that the government has a tax base available to feed its bureaucratic family. The government is a total slave of the Federal Reserve. For example, analyze the latest real estate boom. There will be a major boost in property taxes based on the new valuations. Many people will be surprised when they receive their new tax bill. This will guarantee more money for the government coffers. They know that people will do almost anything to keep their homes. What's another job or two per family? Besides, the extra job will provide more tax revenue for the government. This will require more day care, or baby-sitting services for many families, which create more income for the government. This will cause more meals to be eaten out, which creates more revenue for the government Meanwhile, prices will continue to go up, which creates more sales tax revenue for the government. Are you getting the point yet? Deflation is end of the government. The local, state, and federal government will all fail!
This is the strategy of the Federal Reserve. The majority of the people will always believe that more is better. Knowing that, and now having a democracy ensconced in the US, it was time to feed and breed. Prices always go up, and everything is "Wunnerful, Wunnerful" Bring on the Champagne Lady. Alan runs the bubble machine. The illusion of money has destroyed most people since society (goverment) developed socialism. Democracy feeds on the illusion of something for nothing. As each demagogue promises more than his competition, the tax burden becomes oppressive. The monetary illusion serves to conceal the costs through currency debasement. This assures the complete destruction of the society that embraces this perversion. Any attempt to introduce logic into a dialogue will be defeated by claiming you're an elitist devoid of compassion. Envy, hate, and manipulated passions are the hallmark of democracies. While all this destruction is occurring, money diverted by the mechanism of currency debasement is constantly being transferred to the British Crown in the City of London.

What is happening now has happened before.
OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 1907: A run begins on October 23rd on the Knickerbocker Trust Co. that wipes out that bank, many other banks fail, unemployment rises, and food prices soar. Increased bank deposits infused by the United States Treasury restore confidence, supported by loans from such capitalist leaders as J. Pierpont Morgan.
Its all the same scam over again.
March 10, 1933: By the continued use of paper money the United States had to be declared bankrupt, which was proven by the bankruptcy procedures that were followed in President Roosevelt's Executive Orders. President Roosevelt declared the United States bankrupt by Presidential Executive Order, 6073 and the subsequent Executive Orders, 6102, 6111 and 6260.[these documents are still publicly attainable in any federal depository library]
AUGUST 14, 1935: The Social Security Act [Federal Insurance Contribution Act] becomes law, the American people are told this is a insurance policy. This is actually an agreement between you and the United States government where you have agreed under tort law that you have contributed to the national debt and that you are a wrong doer under the definition of the word contribution, as it is used by the government. [see the word contribution and the words tort feasor in Blacks Law Dictionary 6th ed.
The money paid to "social security" goes directly to pay the "national debt" which is interest paid to international bankers controlled from London through the FED.
....................................................................................
NOVEMBER 28, 1961: President Kennedy "reached the decision that silver metal should gradually be withdrawn from our monetary reserves."
1963: Six days prior to President John F. Kennedy being assassinated, he ordered the Treasury to print United States Notes to be used as legal tender, a limited amount were printed before his untimely death. This action would have put the federal reserve out of business because they would no longer be able to collect interest on the money they would have printed. This would have eventually removed the financial and political control the international bankers had over this country. Ten days prior to his assassination President Kennedy said "The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight."
NOVEMBER 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy is assassinated. One of the first acts President Johnson orders is the reversal of the order President Kennedy had made, which had allowed the printing of United States Notes without interest. Was President Kennedy assassinated for the same reasons as President Lincoln?
NOVEMBER 26, 1963: Prior to this date the federal reserve notes were a promise to pay and were redeemable on demand by the bearer for lawful money. After President Johnson's order to remove the United States notes, the Federal Reserve issued federal reserve notes without the promise to pay to the bearer on demand lawful money. Interestingly, the first fifty million no-promise federal reserve notes were shipped out the same day that President John F. Kennedy was buried.
Today the American economy operates under a monetary system which is completely outside the Constitution. Its fiat money is continually manipulated both in value and in quantity. [THE MAKING OF AMERICA 1985]
The definition of fiat money is: "money composed of otherwise essentially valueless things that neither have a commercial use nor constitute a claim against anyone, but do have a special legal qualification. The money is not the material bearing the stamp as authority but the stamp alone."
What is the Federal Reserve I really want to know?
Yes the Fed controls national elections also!

RCP average poll chart before election reveals what got Obama elected
Lets examine what happened to get Obama elected president
This is when Mccain's average poll lead on 9/8/2008 started to go down. From this date on Obama started to gain ground in the average poll. From this data is is real clear what got Obama elected. On Sept 7 the US government seizes control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This seemed to be timed to cause a crisis that would favor Obama and ensure his election. The rcp poll reveals the "manufactured crisis was timed to elect Obama. Mccain was leading on 9/8/2008 and on 9/15/2008 Obama started leading in the rcp poll and stayed in the lead until he was elected.
Sept. 7. In a bid to stabilize the nation's troubled housing market, the government seizes control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two publicly traded companies that together hold or guarantee about half the nation's mortgage loans. (Mccain starts going down in the polls at this date.)
_Sept. 19. Following a series of ad hoc measures, the U.S. government announces a broad rescue plan for the financial system, including a program to buy hundreds of billions of dollars of bad mortgages and other forms of toxic debt that have been weighing down U.S. financial companies. The Fed and Treasury Dept. shore up money market funds, which had also come under siege during the crisis, and the SEC temporarily bans short-selling — a way of betting that a stock will fall — against shares in 799 financial stocks. (Obama starts going up in the polls on this date)
.....................................................................................
The sweeping financial rescue package announced by the government on Friday marks the latest phase of a wrenching upheaval that has reshaped the U.S. financial system in recent months.
The crisis started over a year ago with problems stemming from aggressive lending practices in the subprime mortgage market and has spread to infect many other forms of credit, leading to a crisis that has subsumed three Wall Street investment banks and one of the world's largest insurers.
Here is rundown of major developments:
_ March 16. Bear Stearns Cos. is bought by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a deal orchestrated by and backed up by the government following a sharp decline in shares and a collapse in confidence in the company.
_ July 11. Federal regulators seize IndyMac Bank after it succumbs to the pressures of tighter credit, tumbling home prices and rising foreclosures. IndyMac is the largest thrift ever to fail in the U.S.
_ Sept. 7. In a bid to stabilize the nation's troubled housing market, the government seizes control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two publicly traded companies that together hold or guarantee about half the nation's mortgage loans.
_ Sept. 10. Lehman Brothers puts itself up for sale after reporting a $4 billion loss and says it will spin off its troubled commercial real estate assets.
_ Sept. 14. In a weekend of furious negotiations, U.S. regulators make it clear there will be no government bailout for Lehman Brothers. Fearful of fallout from a Lehman failure, Merrill Lynch & Co. arranges a hasty deal to be bought by Bank of America Corp.
_ Sept. 15. Lehman Brothers declares bankruptcy, the largest ever in the United States. Investor concerns turn next to American International Group Inc., a giant insurance company, after a plunge in that company's stock and downgrades to its debt by credit ratings agencies who say the slumping housing market could further undermine its finances.
_ Sept. 16. The U.S. government announces an $85 billion emergency loan to rescue AIG, saying a disorderly failure of the company could further disrupt already delicate financial markets and the economy.
_ Sept. 17. The Securities and Exchange Commission bans some aggressive forms of short-selling.
_ Sept. 18. The Federal Reserve and central banks in Europe and Asia pump up to $180 billion into money markets in a bid to free up a lending freeze between banks. Markets rally on hopes for a broader government rescue package. That night, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke ask Congress for authority to rescue banks by buying bad assets from them.
_Sept. 19. Following a series of ad hoc measures, the U.S. government announces a broad rescue plan for the financial system, including a program to buy hundreds of billions of dollars of bad mortgages and other forms of toxic debt that have been weighing down U.S. financial companies. The Fed and Treasury Dept. shore up money market funds, which had also come under siege during the crisis, and the SEC temporarily bans short-selling — a way of betting that a stock will fall — against shares in 799 financial stocks.
So the bottom line is clear, real clear. Mccain started to go down in the polls almost exactly when the government announced the plan to bailout everybody and their brother. THE GOVERNMENT OFFER OF A MASSIVE GIVEAWAY TO THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTORS TILTED THE ELECTION TOWARD OBAMA AND THE POLLS REVEAL EXACTLY THAT. OBAMA DID NOT GET ELECTED FOR ANY OTHER REASON!

Obama looks like a kid with a cool aid stand
Notice the kid type little emblem on the cool aid type sign The Office of the President Elect. This is the mentality of Obama and his hood. In reality there is no President elect until Jan 6, 2009 when a joint session of Congress meets to count the electors. This is the time Congress can close down the "cool aid" stand and sent Obama back home to Kenya.
Write your Senator and Congressman demanding they OBJECT to Obama's qualification to be president, before Jan 6, 2009 when a joint session of Congress meets to count the electorial votes, because of his dual citizenship at birth of which he has admitted. Because he was a DUAL citizen at birth he is not a natural born citizen with loyalty to one country but to two different countries. This is why the constituiton stipulates a President must be natural born with only one citizenship!
....................................................................................
Obama is a dual citizen at birth as he has stated on his web site: quote
"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children: British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth. In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC. "

CLOSE DOWN OBAMA COOL AID STAND
Despite Bells and Whistles, 'Office of President-Elect' Holds No Authority. The props that decorate the stage for the Office of the President-elect serve as just that, since Barack Obama will hold no actual authority in the Executive Branch until Jan. 20.
But the props are merely that. Under the Constitution, there is no such thing as the Office of the President-elect. Technically, Obama will not even become the president-elect until the Electoral College convenes after the second Wednesday in December and elects him based on the results of the Nov. 4 general election, as stated in the Constitution.

Forged images, phony photos, and felony fraud Read This Link And Know The Facts
There are current Federal laws in place that prohibit the use of false identity documents, such as a birth certificate, and they are spelled out in Chapter 18 of the United States Code, Section 1028, Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information. In particular, there are specific paragraphs that relate to the use of a false identification document:
The term "false identification document" means a document of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purposes of identification of individuals that - (A) is not issued by or under the authority of a governmental entity or was issued under the authority of a governmental entity but was subsequently altered for purposes of deceit; and(B) appears to be issued by or under the authority of the United States Government, a State, a political subdivision of a State, a foreign government, a political subdivision of a foreign government, or an international governmental or quasi-governmental organization.

How can anyone doubt Obama is a fraud. Only a fraud would produce a fake "certification of birth" that was a forgery.
Barack Hussein Obama has been vetted by no one.
If the democratic party "vetted" Obama they didn't find he was an illegal alien. It appears he is.
The DNC in the state of South Carolina only certifies that he was nominated on 28th Aug 2008 and nothing else! They say nothing about his citizenship. The DNC expects Americans to take it for granted he is an American citizen qualified to be president just because the DNC nominated him.
I sent a letter to my SC Secretary of State asking him how he had certified Barack Hussein Obama and he referred me to the state election commission. The SC State election commission sent me copy of "Offical Certification Of Nomination" from the DNC.
Copy of DNC certified nomination of "obama" or fraud
The only vetting that has been done on Obama is by the DNC and they will only certify that he was nominated to be president.
We are to believe the DNC and a certified forgery!
Obama's 'Born' Conspiracy: Forged images, phony photos, and felony fraud
All this is to conceal the fact he is a dual citizen at birth or an illegal alien. The fact that the certification of birth is a fraud is enough to prove obama is a fraud. Obama really is just a Chicago THUG! This is what thugs do for a living, steal identities etc. Even if by some miracle obama produces a COB the fraud on his web site reveals what he is and what he does for a living. He is a CON man and nothing else. He has managed along with his communist friends to defraud America.

The economic crisis was induced by Congress more evidence
I don't know if this comment is true but it sounds like a piece of the puzzle. Can you believe this, the seller provides the down payment through a charity to get the minority into the house then the seller gives the charity their money back. The sellers just raised their price to get their money back and unload a house on a minority that could not afford it. All the while the rev "wright" types were telling the minority to buy a house and take advantage of the free money. The US governent scam to create a crisis in the future!
....................................................................................
You just reminded me of something a real estate developer told me a couple of years ago... He built subdivisions in an urban (i.e. black) part of town and his marketing campaign involved putting ministers on commission.
They'd stand in the pulpit and declare that buying a home is the first step of fulfilling the American dream and their Christian duty. Every church member who bought a house, the minister got a check.
It was all legal, apparently, if the payments were structured as part of a downpayment assistance program. Legal, that is, until the IRS took the punchbowl away in 2006.
So, one of the things that pricked the Housing Bubble in 2006 was the IRS cracking down on this form of "charity."
Here's a cogent description of the scam from a recent press release by the apartment building lobby. Obviously, the people who rent out apartments are biased, but, at least they didn't plunge the world into economic chaos, so they've got that going for them:
Congress Should Protect Taxpayers and Retain the Ban on 'Charity' Downpayment Schemes
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congress should pause and carefully consider the consequences before it acts to overturn its recent ban of so-called "charity" downpayment assistance schemes, according to the National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA).
Under these programs, a non-profit provides a downpayment to the buyer and is then reimbursed by the seller, often a home builder. In 2006, the IRS stripped several of these non-profits of their tax-exempt status, ruling that the programs benefit sellers more than buyers since sellers often raise their asking price to cover the amount they theoretically "donated."
"These circular funding programs come with good intentions but produce loans that are three times as likely to go into foreclosure and merely perpetuate the tragically failed policy of zero-downpayment lending that helped create the current foreclosure crisis," noted Jim Arbury, Senior Vice President for the NMHC/NAA Joint Legislative Program.
"Congress wisely banned these programs in the Housing Stimulus Bill that it passed in July," said Arbury. "Now it is considering stepping back and once again allowing them. This would be a mistake that would lure more individuals into unsustainable homeownership and put taxpayer dollars at risk."
"These loans skyrocketed from six percent of the Federal Housing Administration's mortgage originations in 2000 to approximately 30 percent as of 2004, and now threaten the financial viability of the FHA," said Arbury. "The FHA says it expects to lose $4.6 billion in 2008, an unanticipated loss it attributes largely to seller-financed downpayment mortgages."
"Today, the House Financial Services Committee will consider a bill (H.R. 6694) that would overturn the ban and purportedly protect the FHA by limiting the use of seller-financed downpayment assistance to households with credit scores above 620," explained Arbury. "Unfortunately, the wishful thinking that higher credit scores translate into lower default rates is not borne out by the facts. According to HUD data, even households with the highest credit scores required by the bill are twice as likely to default if they use downpayment assistance."
"This is why seller-funded downpayment assistance programs have come under fire from the IRS, the Government Accountability Office and HUD's Inspector General's Office," Arbury concluded. "For its own financial health, the FHA should not be forced to return to insuring loans that involve seller-funded downpayments."
Keep in mind there is nothing "wise" about Congress.

After reading this about Hawaiian Law anything is possible

Hawaiian Certificate Of Birth or Hawaiian Certificate Of Anything You Want It To Indicate?
After reading this information on Hawaiian State Dept Of Health I don't see how a Hawaiian Certificate Of Birth can validate who "Obama" really is, where he was born or who his parents are. It is to easy to change the information. He could be adopted, had a sex change, switched parents if needed or switched his last name to anybody. Anything short of DNA will not prove who he is and even the DNA probably would not match if one could find the real parents. Obama could have been born anywhere in the world and if his parents were legally married in Hawaii and lived in Hawaii 1 year prior to his birth his COB would be legal under "Hawaiian" law.
It seems "Hawaiian Law" is like the law of the jungle..what ever you want it to be.
Obama could have been born in a foreign country, been adopted there or Hawaii, had a sex change and been adopted again!
This is for real! Hawaiian law allows this. ALOHA natural born citizenship.
I also can see what the phase "Change We Can Believe In" means?!?!?!?
....................................................................................
(1) Obama's name on the COB could have been changed if he was adopted.

In Obama's own words
.....................................................................................
Kenyan tribalism explains why Barack is so black
"Democracy" is working its magic in Kenya at the moment:
Kenya Torn by Tribal Rage: In a flash, ethnically integrated neighbors turn on one another ... -- Washington Post
Kenya Topples Into Post-Election Chaos -- NY Times
So, it's worth recounting the views of Barack Obama's Kenyan relatives, who belong to the Luo tribe, on the tribal situation in Kenya. The Presidential candidate writes in Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance (p. 348):
Anyway, the divisions in Kenya didn't stop there [between Africans and Indian merchants]; there were always finer lines to draw. Between the country's forty black tribes, for example. They, too, were a fact of life. You didn't notice the tribalism so much among [half-sister] Auma's friends, younger university-educated Kenyans who had been schooled in the idea of nation and race; tribe was an issue with them only when they were considering a mate, or when they got older and saw it help or hinder careers. But they were the exceptions. Most Kenyans still worked with older maps of identity, more ancient loyalties. Even Jane or Zeituni could say things that surprised me. "The Luo are intelligent but lazy," they would say. Or "The Kikuyu are money-grubbing but industrious." Or "The Kalenjins -- well, you can see what's happened to the country since they took over."
Hearing my aunts traffic in such stereotypes, I would try to explain to them the error of their ways. [At this point, Obama has spent a little less than two weeks in his life in Africa.] "It's thinking like that that holds us back," I would say. "We're all part of one tribe. The black tribe. The human tribe. Look what tribalism has done to places like Nigeria or Liberia."
And Jane would say, "Ah, those West Africans are all crazy anyway. You know they used to be cannibals, don't you?"
And Zeituni would say, "You sound just like your father, Barry, he also had such ideas about people."
Meaning he , too, was naive; he, too, liked to argue with history. Look what happened to him ...
The reason Obama is just about as dark in skin tone as the average African-American even though he is nearly three times as white genetically is because the Luo are darker than most other Africans. Obama describes the crowd at a Nairobi nightclub (p. 364) as comprised of:
"... tall, ink-black Luos and short, brown Kikuyus, Kamba and Meru and Kalenjin..."
Obama's Luo tribe are one of the tall, thin, very dark "elongated Nilotic" groups who originated in the Southern Sudan. They are rather like their relatives, the famously tall Dinka and Nuer, only not quite as much. In contrast, most Africans today (and almost all African-Americans) are primarily descended from the "Bantu expansion" that originated in the Nigeria-Cameroon area of West Africa.

Luo (family of ethnic groups)
...................................................................................
This was taken off the African Press International Blog recently for some reason?
Know Your Tribe, Know Your Roots; The Luo
This is the tribe of Barack Obama, Sr., father of 2008 US president-elect Barack Obama.
....................................................................................
The Luo (also called Jaluo and Joluo) are an ethnic group in Kenya, eastern Uganda, and northern Tanzania. They are part of a larger group of ethno linguistically related Luo peoples who inhabit an area including southern Sudan, northern and eastern Uganda, western Kenya, and northern Tanzania.
The Luo are the third largest ethnic group in Kenya, after the Kikuyu and the Luhya. The Luo and the Kikuyu inherited the bulk of political power in the first years following Kenya’s independence in 1963. The Luo population in Kenya was estimated to be 3,185,000 in 1994 . In Tanzanian population was estimated at 280,000 in 2001.The main Luo livelihood is fishing. Outside Luoland, the Luo work in eastern Africa as tenant fishermen, small scale farmers, and urban workers. They speak the Dholuo language, which belongs to the Western Nilotic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family spoken by other Luo-speaking peoples such as the Lango, Acholi, Padhola and Alur (all of Uganda).
Luo History
Pre-Colonial Times
The Luo probably originated at Wau in southern Sudan, near the confluence of the Meride and Sue Rivers. The Kenya Luo migrated into western Kenya via today’s eastern Uganda, the first wave arriving sometime around 1500 AD. Arrivals came in at least five waves arriving at different times: (1) the Joka-Jok (who migrated from Acholiland, the first and largest migration); (2) those migrating from Alur; (3) the Owiny (who migrated from Padhola); (4) the Jok’Omolo (perhaps from Pawir); and (5) The Abasuba (a heterogeneous group in southern Nyanza, with Bantu elements).
The present day Kenya Luo traditionally consist of 23 sub-tribes, each in turn composed of various clans and sub-clans: (1) Jo-Gem, (2) Jo-Ugenya, (3) Jo-Seme, (4) Jo-Kajulu, (5) Jo-Karachuonyo, (6) Jo-Nyakach, (7) Jo-Kabondo, (8) Jo-Kisumo (Jo-Kisumu), (9) Jo-Kano, (10) Jo-Asembo, (11) Jo-Uyoma, (12) and Jo-Sakwa,(13) Jo-Kanyamkago,(14) Jo-Kadem,(15) Jo-Kwabwai,(16) (17)Jo-Karungu,(18) Abasuba(Jo-Suna,Jo-Gwassi, Kaksingri, etc),(19) Jo-Kasgunga,(20)Jo-Kanyamwa,(21) Jo-Kanyada, (22)Jo-Kanyadoto, (23)Jo-Kamgundho . (”Jo-” indicates “people of”.)
By the 1840s, the Luo had a tight-knit society with ruodhi or regional chiefs.
Colonial Times
Early British contact with the Luo was indirect and sporadic. Relations intensified only when the completion of the Uganda Railway had confirmed British intentions and largely removed the need for local tribal alliances. In 1896 a “punitive expedition” was mounted in support of the Wanga ruler Mumia in Ugenya against the Umira Kager clan led by Gero. Over 200 were quickly killed by a Maxim gun. In 1899, C. W. Hobley led an expedition against Sakwa, Seme and Uyoma locations in which 2,500 cattle and about 10,000 sheep and goats were captured.
By 1900, the Luo chief Odera was providing 1,500 porters for a British expedition against the Nandi.
In 1915 the Colonial Government sent Odera Akang’o, the ruodhi of Gem, to Kampala, Uganda. He was impressed by the British settlement there and upon his return home he initiated a forced process of adopting western styles of “schooling, dress and hygiene”. This resulted in the rapid education of the Luo in the English language and English ways.
The Luo generally were not dispossessed of their land by the British, avoiding the fate that befell the pastoral tribes inhabiting the Kenyan “White Highlands”. Many Luo played significant roles in the struggle for Kenyan independence, but the tribe was relatively uninvolved in the Mau Mau Uprising of the 1950s. Instead, some Luo used their education to advance the cause of independence peacefully. The lawyer C.M.G. Argwings-Kodhek, for example, used his expertise to defend Mau Mau suspects in court.
Independent Kenya
Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963. Oginga Odinga, a prominent Luo leader, declined the presidency of Kenya, preferring to assume the vice presidency with Jomo Kenyatta as the head of government. Their administration represented the Kenya African National Union (KANU) party. However, differences with Jomo Kenyatta caused Oginga to defect from the party and abandon the vice presidency in 1966. His departure caused the Luo to become politically marginalized under the Kenyatta, and subsequently the Moi, administrations.
Since Oginga Odinga’s 1966 resignation from the vice presidency, the Luo people have been regarded as opponents to the government. The struggle for independence did not feature any Luo elders. As some claim however, the Luo did peacefully participate. Many remember their role in the late sixties, seventies and eighties. During the late 1980s through the 1990s, their participation provoked violent political events, for example the murder of Dr. Robert Ouko.
Culture and customs
Legio Maria
(Latin, “Legion of Mary”) is a new religious movement among the Luo people of western Kenya which incorporates traditional Luo religious customs into a Christian framework. It is a kind of syncretic Animist/Christian cult originally prevailing only in Luoland, but ultimately spreading widely in East Africa. It originated in the early 1960s as a breakaway of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), declared a pope (”anti-pope” to conventional Catholics), and asserted that it has replaced the “Church in Rome” as the “true” Catholic Church.
The “Legio Maria of African Church Mission” was founded by a former catechist of the RCC among the Luo people in Kisii Diocese of western Kenya. In 1962, Blasio Simeo Malkio Ondetto — known as “Baba Messiah” by Legio Maria followers and as the “Black Messiah” or “Black Jesus” by others — split from the RCC taking 90,000 adherents with him.
His “second in command” was a woman known as “Mother Maria” and today revered as the true “Mother of God”. Both were excommunicated by the RCC in the 1960s. By 1980 the church numbered 248,000 adherents.
In the 21st century, total church membership has been estimated at over three million.
The Legio Maria headquarters and center is the village of Got Kwer, a community that the devout refer to as “Jerusalem”. This village of about 600 is approximately 15 km west of the southwestern Kenya town of Migori. Here is Simeo’s old family homestead and the tomb of the “Messiah” himself which is viewable as a long, cloth-covered plinth with numerous devotional objects scattered around. Both are lovingly maintained by the devout.
Popes
Baba Messiah, although sometimes referred to as a pope, was technically considered a god. He has been followed by a succession of three popes to date:
Pope Timothy Blasio Ahitler (19??-1998).
Pope Maria Pius Lawrence Chiaji Adera (1998-2004)
Pope Raphael Titus Otieno (2004 – date)
Traditional Religious believes
The Luo traditionally believed in an afterlife and a supreme creator, whom they called Nyasaye, and had a strong ancestor cult. Today most of the Kenya Luo are Christians.
The first major ritual in a Luo person’s life is called Juogi, the naming ceremony. Any time between birth and age two, an ancestor might appear in a dream to an adult member of the family. It is generally believed that only people who did good things when alive appear in this way and are thus “reincarnated”. The child is supposed to assume some of the mannerisms of the ancestor he or she is named after. If the ancestor was quiet, the child becomes a quiet person; if talkative, same. The so named ancestor becomes the individual’s “guardian angel” throughout life. Children are rarely named after bad people. It is believed that after death evil people are gone for good (sent to hell).
The Luo are in the minority of ethnic groups in east Africa in that they do not practice ritual circumcision of males as initiation. Instead, children formerly had their six lower front teeth carefully removed at an initiation. This ritual has largely fallen out of use.
Luo Marriage Customs
The Luo traditionally practiced polygamy, though this has fallen out of favor with young adults today, though many still practice it (it is undocumented) as it is only the first wife who is recognized by the law. (In the former times, men could marry up to five wives.)
Historically, couples were introduced to each other by matchmakers, but this is also not common now. The Luo frequently marry outside the tribe, although it is not recommended by the council of elders. The traditional marriage ceremony takes place in two parts, both involving the payment of a bride price by the groom. The first ceremony, the Ayie, involves a payment of money to the mother of the bride; the second stage involves giving cattle to her father. Often these two steps are carried out at the same time, and as many modern Luos are Christians, a church ceremony often follows.
Luo Music
Traditionally, music was the most widely practiced art in the Luo community. At any time of the day or night, some music was being made. Music was not made for its own sake. Music was functional. It was used for ceremonial, religious, political or incidental purposes. Music was performed during funerals (Tero buru) to praise the departed, to console the bereaved, keep people awake at night, express pain and agony and during cleansing and chasing away of spirits. Music was also played during ceremonies like beer parties (Dudu, ohangla dance), welcoming back the warriors from a war, during a wrestling match (Ramogi), during courtship, etc. Work songs also existed. These were performed both during communal work like building, weeding, etc. and individual work like pounding of cereals, winnowing. Music was also used for ritual’ purposes like chasing away of evil spirits (nyawawa), who visit the village at night, in rain making and during divinations and healing.
The Luo music was shaped by the total way of life, lifestyles, and life patterns of individuals of this community. Because of that, the music had characteristics which distinguished it from the music of other communities. This can be seen, heard and felt in their melodies, rhythms, mode of presentation and dancing styles, movements and formations.
The melodies in the Luo music were lyrical, with a lot of vocal ornamentations. These ornaments came out clearly especially when the music carried out an important message.
Their rhythms were characterized by a lot of syncopation and acrusic beginning. These songs were usually presented in solo-response style though solo performances were there too. The most common forms of solo performances were chants. These chants were recitatives with irregular rhythms and phrases which carried serious messages in them. Most of the Luo dances were introduced by these chants. For example the dudu dance.
Another unique characteristic in the Luo music is the introduction of yet another chant at the middle of a musical performance. The singing stops, the pitch of the musical instruments go down and the dance becomes less vigorous as an individual takes up the performance is self praise. This is referred to as Pakruok. There was also a unique kind of ululation, Sigalagala, that marked the climax of the musical performance. Sigalagala was mainly done by women.
The dance styles in the Luo folk music were elegant and graceful. It involved either the movement of one leg in the opposite direction with the waist in step with the syncopated beats of the music or the shaking of the shoulders vigorous usually to the tune of the nyatiti an eight stringed instrument.
Adamson (1967) commented that Luos clad in their traditional costumes and ornaments deserve their reputation as the most picturesque people in Kenya. During most of their performances the Luo wore costumes and decorated themselves not only to appear beautiful but also to enhance their movements. These costumes included sisal skirts (owalo), beads (Ombulu / tigo) worn around the neck and waist and red or white clay were used by the ladies.
The men’s costumes included kuodi or chieno a skin warn from the shoulders or from the waist respectively to cover their nakedness. Ligisa the headgear, shield and spear, reed hats, clubs among others. All these costumes and ornaments were made from locally available materials.
The Luo were also rich in musical instruments which ranged from, percussion (drums, clappers, metal rings, ongeng’o or gara, shakers), strings (e.g., nyatiti, a type of lyre; orutu, a type of fiddle), wind (tung’ a horn,Asili, a flute, Abu-!, a trumpet).
Currently the Luo are associated with the benga style of music. It is a lively style in which songs in Dholuo, Swahili, English are sung to a lively guitar riff. It originated in the 1950s with Luo musicians trying to adapt their traditional tribal dance rhythms to western instruments. The guitar (acoustic, later electric) replaced the nyatiti as the string instrument.
Benga has become so popular that it is played by musicians of all tribes and is no longer considered a purely Luo style. It has become Kenya’s characteristic pop sound.
Luo singer and nyatiti player Ayub Ogada received widespread exposure in 2005 when two of his songs were featured in Alberto Iglesias’ Academy Award-nominated score for Fernando Mereilles’ film adaptation of The Constant Gardener.

video: between poverty and tribalism - kenya
A background report on the conflict that started after the presidential elections in Kenya. Is it just alledgely frauded elections, or is there more? 600 people so far died, and some communities seem to be set up against eachother.
Between poverty and tribalism - kenya
Many more have died since this video was made. Obama, under ‘friends of Obama’ reportedly gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his distant cousin, Raila Odinga ... During Kenya's elections, Raila Odinga painted himself as the man who represented a change from the country's past leadership.
His compaigning for Raila Odinga in 2006, and support since, shows his true communist ideology.
Change...Sounds like Obama
The community that Obama will try to bring to America is tribalism
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This video is the picture Obama has in store for America as he has said, he wants to spread the wealth around. Look who he promoted in Kenya, Odinga who encouraged tribal violence and murder. This is exactly what Obama is promoting here in America but calls it, spreading the wealth around. The only thing that stands in his way is the Constitution but I fear Obama will water it down under the fraud of "change, the change we need"

Kenyan tribalism explains why Barack is so black
"Democracy" is working its magic in Kenya at the moment:
Kenya Torn by Tribal Rage: In a flash, ethnically integrated neighbors turn on one another ... -- Washington Post
Kenya Topples Into Post-Election Chaos -- NY Times
So, it's worth recounting the views of Barack Obama's Kenyan relatives, who belong to the Luo tribe, on the tribal situation in Kenya. The Presidential candidate writes in Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance (p. 348):
Anyway, the divisions in Kenya didn't stop there [between Africans and Indian merchants]; there were always finer lines to draw. Between the country's forty black tribes, for example. They, too, were a fact of life. You didn't notice the tribalism so much among [half-sister] Auma's friends, younger university-educated Kenyans who had been schooled in the idea of nation and race; tribe was an issue with them only when they were considering a mate, or when they got older and saw it help or hinder careers. But they were the exceptions. Most Kenyans still worked with older maps of identity, more ancient loyalties. Even Jane or Zeituni could say things that surprised me. "The Luo are intelligent but lazy," they would say. Or "The Kikuyu are money-grubbing but industrious." Or "The Kalenjins -- well, you can see what's happened to the country since they took over."
Hearing my aunts traffic in such stereotypes, I would try to explain to them the error of their ways. [At this point, Obama has spent a little less than two weeks in his life in Africa.] "It's thinking like that that holds us back," I would say. "We're all part of one tribe. The black tribe. The human tribe. Look what tribalism has done to places like Nigeria or Liberia."
And Jane would say, "Ah, those West Africans are all crazy anyway. You know they used to be cannibals, don't you?"
And Zeituni would say, "You sound just like your father, Barry, he also had such ideas about people."
Meaning he , too, was naive; he, too, liked to argue with history. Look what happened to him ...
The reason Obama is just about as dark in skin tone as the average African-American even though he is nearly three times as white genetically is because the Luo are darker than most other Africans. Obama describes the crowd at a Nairobi nightclub (p. 364) as comprised of:
"... tall, ink-black Luos and short, brown Kikuyus, Kamba and Meru and Kalenjin..."
Obama's Luo tribe are one of the tall, thin, very dark "elongated Nilotic" groups who originated in the Southern Sudan. They are rather like their relatives, the famously tall Dinka and Nuer, only not quite as much. In contrast, most Africans today (and almost all African-Americans) are primarily descended from the "Bantu expansion" that originated in the Nigeria-Cameroon area of West Africa.

Know Your Tribe, Know Your Roots; The Luo
This is the tribe of Barack Obama, Sr., father of 2008 US president-elect Barack Obama.
....................................................................................
The Luo (also called Jaluo and Joluo) are an ethnic group in Kenya, eastern Uganda, and northern Tanzania. They are part of a larger group of ethno linguistically related Luo peoples who inhabit an area including southern Sudan, northern and eastern Uganda, western Kenya, and northern Tanzania.
The Luo are the third largest ethnic group in Kenya, after the Kikuyu and the Luhya. The Luo and the Kikuyu inherited the bulk of political power in the first years following Kenya’s independence in 1963. The Luo population in Kenya was estimated to be 3,185,000 in 1994 . In Tanzanian population was estimated at 280,000 in 2001.The main Luo livelihood is fishing. Outside Luoland, the Luo work in eastern Africa as tenant fishermen, small scale farmers, and urban workers. They speak the Dholuo language, which belongs to the Western Nilotic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family spoken by other Luo-speaking peoples such as the Lango, Acholi, Padhola and Alur (all of Uganda).
Luo History
Pre-Colonial Times
The Luo probably originated at Wau in southern Sudan, near the confluence of the Meride and Sue Rivers. The Kenya Luo migrated into western Kenya via today’s eastern Uganda, the first wave arriving sometime around 1500 AD. Arrivals came in at least five waves arriving at different times: (1) the Joka-Jok (who migrated from Acholiland, the first and largest migration); (2) those migrating from Alur; (3) the Owiny (who migrated from Padhola); (4) the Jok’Omolo (perhaps from Pawir); and (5) The Abasuba (a heterogeneous group in southern Nyanza, with Bantu elements).
The present day Kenya Luo traditionally consist of 23 sub-tribes, each in turn composed of various clans and sub-clans: (1) Jo-Gem, (2) Jo-Ugenya, (3) Jo-Seme, (4) Jo-Kajulu, (5) Jo-Karachuonyo, (6) Jo-Nyakach, (7) Jo-Kabondo, (8) Jo-Kisumo (Jo-Kisumu), (9) Jo-Kano, (10) Jo-Asembo, (11) Jo-Uyoma, (12) and Jo-Sakwa,(13) Jo-Kanyamkago,(14) Jo-Kadem,(15) Jo-Kwabwai,(16) (17)Jo-Karungu,(18) Abasuba(Jo-Suna,Jo-Gwassi, Kaksingri, etc),(19) Jo-Kasgunga,(20)Jo-Kanyamwa,(21) Jo-Kanyada, (22)Jo-Kanyadoto, (23)Jo-Kamgundho . (”Jo-” indicates “people of”.)
By the 1840s, the Luo had a tight-knit society with ruodhi or regional chiefs.
Colonial Times
Early British contact with the Luo was indirect and sporadic. Relations intensified only when the completion of the Uganda Railway had confirmed British intentions and largely removed the need for local tribal alliances. In 1896 a “punitive expedition” was mounted in support of the Wanga ruler Mumia in Ugenya against the Umira Kager clan led by Gero. Over 200 were quickly killed by a Maxim gun. In 1899, C. W. Hobley led an expedition against Sakwa, Seme and Uyoma locations in which 2,500 cattle and about 10,000 sheep and goats were captured.
By 1900, the Luo chief Odera was providing 1,500 porters for a British expedition against the Nandi.
In 1915 the Colonial Government sent Odera Akang’o, the ruodhi of Gem, to Kampala, Uganda. He was impressed by the British settlement there and upon his return home he initiated a forced process of adopting western styles of “schooling, dress and hygiene”. This resulted in the rapid education of the Luo in the English language and English ways.
The Luo generally were not dispossessed of their land by the British, avoiding the fate that befell the pastoral tribes inhabiting the Kenyan “White Highlands”. Many Luo played significant roles in the struggle for Kenyan independence, but the tribe was relatively uninvolved in the Mau Mau Uprising of the 1950s. Instead, some Luo used their education to advance the cause of independence peacefully. The lawyer C.M.G. Argwings-Kodhek, for example, used his expertise to defend Mau Mau suspects in court.
Independent Kenya
Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963. Oginga Odinga, a prominent Luo leader, declined the presidency of Kenya, preferring to assume the vice presidency with Jomo Kenyatta as the head of government. Their administration represented the Kenya African National Union (KANU) party. However, differences with Jomo Kenyatta caused Oginga to defect from the party and abandon the vice presidency in 1966. His departure caused the Luo to become politically marginalized under the Kenyatta, and subsequently the Moi, administrations.
Since Oginga Odinga’s 1966 resignation from the vice presidency, the Luo people have been regarded as opponents to the government. The struggle for independence did not feature any Luo elders. As some claim however, the Luo did peacefully participate. Many remember their role in the late sixties, seventies and eighties. During the late 1980s through the 1990s, their participation provoked violent political events, for example the murder of Dr. Robert Ouko.
Culture and customs
Legio Maria
(Latin, “Legion of Mary”) is a new religious movement among the Luo people of western Kenya which incorporates traditional Luo religious customs into a Christian framework. It is a kind of syncretic Animist/Christian cult originally prevailing only in Luoland, but ultimately spreading widely in East Africa. It originated in the early 1960s as a breakaway of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), declared a pope (”anti-pope” to conventional Catholics), and asserted that it has replaced the “Church in Rome” as the “true” Catholic Church.
The “Legio Maria of African Church Mission” was founded by a former catechist of the RCC among the Luo people in Kisii Diocese of western Kenya. In 1962, Blasio Simeo Malkio Ondetto — known as “Baba Messiah” by Legio Maria followers and as the “Black Messiah” or “Black Jesus” by others — split from the RCC taking 90,000 adherents with him.
His “second in command” was a woman known as “Mother Maria” and today revered as the true “Mother of God”. Both were excommunicated by the RCC in the 1960s. By 1980 the church numbered 248,000 adherents.
In the 21st century, total church membership has been estimated at over three million.
The Legio Maria headquarters and center is the village of Got Kwer, a community that the devout refer to as “Jerusalem”. This village of about 600 is approximately 15 km west of the southwestern Kenya town of Migori. Here is Simeo’s old family homestead and the tomb of the “Messiah” himself which is viewable as a long, cloth-covered plinth with numerous devotional objects scattered around. Both are lovingly maintained by the devout.
Popes
Baba Messiah, although sometimes referred to as a pope, was technically considered a god. He has been followed by a succession of three popes to date:
Pope Timothy Blasio Ahitler (19??-1998).
Pope Maria Pius Lawrence Chiaji Adera (1998-2004)
Pope Raphael Titus Otieno (2004 – date)
Traditional Religious believes
The Luo traditionally believed in an afterlife and a supreme creator, whom they called Nyasaye, and had a strong ancestor cult. Today most of the Kenya Luo are Christians.
The first major ritual in a Luo person’s life is called Juogi, the naming ceremony. Any time between birth and age two, an ancestor might appear in a dream to an adult member of the family. It is generally believed that only people who did good things when alive appear in this way and are thus “reincarnated”. The child is supposed to assume some of the mannerisms of the ancestor he or she is named after. If the ancestor was quiet, the child becomes a quiet person; if talkative, same. The so named ancestor becomes the individual’s “guardian angel” throughout life. Children are rarely named after bad people. It is believed that after death evil people are gone for good (sent to hell).
The Luo are in the minority of ethnic groups in east Africa in that they do not practice ritual circumcision of males as initiation. Instead, children formerly had their six lower front teeth carefully removed at an initiation. This ritual has largely fallen out of use.
Luo Marriage Customs
The Luo traditionally practiced polygamy, though this has fallen out of favor with young adults today, though many still practice it (it is undocumented) as it is only the first wife who is recognized by the law. (In the former times, men could marry up to five wives.)
Historically, couples were introduced to each other by matchmakers, but this is also not common now. The Luo frequently marry outside the tribe, although it is not recommended by the council of elders. The traditional marriage ceremony takes place in two parts, both involving the payment of a bride price by the groom. The first ceremony, the Ayie, involves a payment of money to the mother of the bride; the second stage involves giving cattle to her father. Often these two steps are carried out at the same time, and as many modern Luos are Christians, a church ceremony often follows.
Luo Music
Traditionally, music was the most widely practiced art in the Luo community. At any time of the day or night, some music was being made. Music was not made for its own sake. Music was functional. It was used for ceremonial, religious, political or incidental purposes. Music was performed during funerals (Tero buru) to praise the departed, to console the bereaved, keep people awake at night, express pain and agony and during cleansing and chasing away of spirits. Music was also played during ceremonies like beer parties (Dudu, ohangla dance), welcoming back the warriors from a war, during a wrestling match (Ramogi), during courtship, etc. Work songs also existed. These were performed both during communal work like building, weeding, etc. and individual work like pounding of cereals, winnowing. Music was also used for ritual’ purposes like chasing away of evil spirits (nyawawa), who visit the village at night, in rain making and during divinations and healing.
The Luo music was shaped by the total way of life, lifestyles, and life patterns of individuals of this community. Because of that, the music had characteristics which distinguished it from the music of other communities. This can be seen, heard and felt in their melodies, rhythms, mode of presentation and dancing styles, movements and formations.
The melodies in the Luo music were lyrical, with a lot of vocal ornamentations. These ornaments came out clearly especially when the music carried out an important message.
Their rhythms were characterized by a lot of syncopation and acrusic beginning. These songs were usually presented in solo-response style though solo performances were there too. The most common forms of solo performances were chants. These chants were recitatives with irregular rhythms and phrases which carried serious messages in them. Most of the Luo dances were introduced by these chants. For example the dudu dance.
Another unique characteristic in the Luo music is the introduction of yet another chant at the middle of a musical performance. The singing stops, the pitch of the musical instruments go down and the dance becomes less vigorous as an individual takes up the performance is self praise. This is referred to as Pakruok. There was also a unique kind of ululation, Sigalagala, that marked the climax of the musical performance. Sigalagala was mainly done by women.
The dance styles in the Luo folk music were elegant and graceful. It involved either the movement of one leg in the opposite direction with the waist in step with the syncopated beats of the music or the shaking of the shoulders vigorous usually to the tune of the nyatiti an eight stringed instrument.
Adamson (1967) commented that Luos clad in their traditional costumes and ornaments deserve their reputation as the most picturesque people in Kenya. During most of their performances the Luo wore costumes and decorated themselves not only to appear beautiful but also to enhance their movements. These costumes included sisal skirts (owalo), beads (Ombulu / tigo) worn around the neck and waist and red or white clay were used by the ladies.
The men’s costumes included kuodi or chieno a skin warn from the shoulders or from the waist respectively to cover their nakedness. Ligisa the headgear, shield and spear, reed hats, clubs among others. All these costumes and ornaments were made from locally available materials.
The Luo were also rich in musical instruments which ranged from, percussion (drums, clappers, metal rings, ongeng’o or gara, shakers), strings (e.g., nyatiti, a type of lyre; orutu, a type of fiddle), wind (tung’ a horn,Asili, a flute, Abu-!, a trumpet).
Currently the Luo are associated with the benga style of music. It is a lively style in which songs in Dholuo, Swahili, English are sung to a lively guitar riff. It originated in the 1950s with Luo musicians trying to adapt their traditional tribal dance rhythms to western instruments. The guitar (acoustic, later electric) replaced the nyatiti as the string instrument.
Benga has become so popular that it is played by musicians of all tribes and is no longer considered a purely Luo style. It has become Kenya’s characteristic pop sound.
Luo singer and nyatiti player Ayub Ogada received widespread exposure in 2005 when two of his songs were featured in Alberto Iglesias’ Academy Award-nominated score for Fernando Mereilles’ film adaptation of The Constant Gardener.

They then usually demand millions of dollars in ransom (from the American People)

Just to similar to ignore!
There is even a pirate spokesman (who could not be reached for comment on Friday), The "pirate spokesman in very similar to the pirate spokesman for Obama, who is "Captain Change" "Captain Change" is obama and he is THE pirate stealing America resources through the FED and demanding Congress ransom the American economy. Obama's "Chicago Mafia of acorn and the dems enforce his position as "Chief Pirate".
"They then usually demand millions of dollars in ransom" Just stop a think a little. This is what the "FED" just did to the Congress when Congress was threatened with marshall law or worse if Congress didn't pass the $170 Bill (ranson) that was demanded by the "FED". Crazy, no this is what just happened recently. "They seem to strike with increasing impunity, grabbing everything". "They then usually demand millions of dollars in ransom" The pirates are highly organized. They work in teams. And people usually pay. They travel in light speedboats or (organize assaults via the internet). “These pirates are getting bolder ever day,” Officials say the pirates are growing in numbers. They have evolved into a sophisticated organized crime ring, (from Chicago). An official described the pirates as an oceanic “mafia” or (the from Chicago mafia). “Paying the ransoms is just making this worse,” (The FED again) This is an international problem, (the FED and Congress promoted and created the manufactured crisis in the first place). Somalia’s pirates tend to hide their captured ships in isolated coves, (The FED will not reveal where they are spending all the money). Pirates have threatened the pipeline of food into the country because of the constant hijackings on the high seas, (The FED is constantly making the economy worse by the "hijackings" of the economy!

Some Black Preachers are Worshiping the Wrong Messiah

Obama the transfiguration

Some Black Preachers are Worshiping the Wrong Messiah
...There shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies…2 Peter 2:1
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- With the November 4 election of Barack Obama, black preachers have been celebrating across the country. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action, Inc. is rebuking these black preachers for their part in electing the most left-wing presidential candidate in American history:
"Ninety-six percent of black voters supported Barack Obama and the majority of these voters were influenced by black preachers to put race ahead of their country and their faith," said Rev. Peterson. "How can ministers who are supposed to lead their flock to Jesus Christ instead lead them to a socialist like Obama? The truth is that most black ministers don't have a real relationship with God and they are leading their congregations to hell. These blind leaders helped elect their black 'Messiah'. This 'Messiah' happens to be the most left-wing member of the U.S. Senate," said Rev. Peterson.
Here's where president-elect Obama stands on key issues:
• Believes in abortion on demand (virtually under any circumstance), and has told Planned Parenthood that sex-ed for kindergartners is 'the right thing to do' (as long as it's 'age appropriate');
• Has promised to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act and would allow homosexual 'marriages' to be made legal in all 50 states;
• Would appoint far left activist judges who'd pervert and misinterpret the U.S. Constitution;
• Has pledged to dismantle 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military. Supports open homosexuality, bisexuality, and transexuality in all military branches, barracks and shower facilities.
This is what influential black ministers said after the Obama election victory:
• Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter's House church said that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign "encouraged, validated and gave inspiration to not only the people of the United States of America, but to the people of our world."
• At Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church, Rev. Calvin Butts invited his congregation to stand up "and give God praise for the election." Several hundred churchgoers rose as one and cheered, "Yes we can! Yes we can!"
• Grammy-winning gospel singer, Rev. Shirley Caesar-Williams said, "Too long we've been at the bottom of the totem pole, but he [Obama] has vindicated us, hallelujah."
• Rev. John L. Lambert, Bethel AME Churc h in Indianapolis, "If ever there was an answer to 'who cometh to our help?' that was the answer...Look at what God has done."
• At Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Rev. Otis Moss, III, said history would note that Trinity was the holy place where "God stirred a young man's soul and put him on the path to the presidency."
Rev. Peterson added: "For the past eighteen years I've said that most black preachers are not called by God, but instead are called by their mammas. If there was ever a time that this was the case, that time is now. In order for black Americans to turn around, they must drop their anger, and find the truth within themselves, not from corrupt, racist preachers or from a false black "Messiah"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They serenaded the Hyde Park Democrat with chants of "O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!" Obama drew such a passionate outpouring from the crowd that even he and his aides were overwhelmed. "At one point, I thought Barack was going to rise up over the people and start saying, 'My children, my children, I have come to free you,' joked his driver and bodyguard, Mike Signator. "It was just incredible." [p. 297]
As quoted in David Mendell's Obama: From Promise to Power (Via NRO's "Campaign Spot").
....................................................................................
2 Corinthians 11
1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little. 17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
....................................................................................
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
(Some identity Obama as a "lightworker", "a rare kind of attuned being". No doubt Obama is a "lightworker" as a "minister" of satan.)
A quote from a follower of the "deceiver" is below:
Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.
The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history.
Mark Mortford ("Is Obama an enlightened being?" San Francisco Chronicle June 6, 2008).

Obama is an "angel of light as satan is
Obama is a false prophet a deceiver and liar as is the father of lies satan
....................................................................................
Farrakhan on Obama Farrakhan is also a false teacher and an angel of light proclaiming Obama as the "messiah". A cult leader proclaiming another cult leader that will "bring about universal change". This change is the one world economic system under the control of satan and his "ministers" of light!
....................................................................................
The question, "Who is the Antichrist?" can be answered in different ways - indeed, the Bible says there are "many antichrists" (1 John 2:18).
The word Antichrist can be understood to mean either against Christ or instead of Christ. Several times it is used in the plural, and in such a way that it can be applied to almost anyone who is opposed to Christ. The common use of the name applies to the great antagonist of the last days, the world dictator, the final emperor. He is not only against Christ, but, to the Gentiles at least, he is instead of Christ. He is Satan's man on earth, receiving from Satan the dominion once refused by Christ (Revelation 13:2; Matthew 4:8-10). His impersonation of Christ includes some sort of a physical resurrection from death (Revelation 13:3, 12, 14). But whether we use the term "Antichrist" as describing this person or not, there will in any case be an individual who will fulfil the prophetical Scriptures relating to this "man of sin" or "lawless one." (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10)
...................................................................................
THE IDENTITY OF THE POLITICAL BEAST (OR CALLED THE BEAST FROM THE SEA, THE GENTILE ANTICHRIST)
Read Revelation 13:1-10. The Political Beast rises out of the sea. The sea in Scripture is often a type of the Gentile nations (i.e. the restless nations of the world), so this may mean simply that he is a Gentile. Or the sea may refer to the Mediterranean area, where the Roman Empire centered. He has ten horns. Daniel predicted that the Roman Empire would be revived in a ten-kingdom form (Daniel 7:24).
His Title "the Gentile Antichrist"
His very title summarizes his despicable vices. He will be anti, "opposed to," Christ in every conceivable area of character and conduct. The Lord Jesus represents righteousness, truth, purity and honor. This personality will be a man of sin, falsehood, vileness and dishonor. Christ was marked by self-denial. Antichrist will be a man of self-esteem and self-aggrandizement. Jesus came in humility, "to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). This wicked man will strut in pomp across the stage, destroying, pillaging, murdering those who refuse to yield to his unruly will. He will also be anti, "seeking to supplant," the Lord Jesus Christ; for he will claim to be the Messiah.
...................................................................................
The anti Christ may be living today. He could be Obama. If he is we will know because of what he does. Before he will be revealed as the anti Christ the rapture of the Church the Holy Spirit's restraint will be removed. "There is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way" (2 Thessalonians 2:7). We believe that this One is the Spirit of God, Whose presence in the world today prevents the full development of lawlessness. (When this happens the earth will know who the
anti Christ is because he will then reveal himself because of no restraint.)
What I am saying is if Obama is the anti Christ, and he could be, you will know because you will be still here on earth to suffer his rath as the world dictator. If you are still here it will be almost too late and you must take the mark of the beast or die. You will most likely be deceived and believe all that the liar the anti Christ will tell you. If you take the mark of the beast you will die in your sins.
Many powerful rulers have crossed the stage of human history. Genghis Khan, Nero, Stalin, Hitler - we recoil in horror at the memory of their ruthlessness. But the Bible teaches that the most wicked dictator of all is yet to appear. He may be living today, biding his time, waiting to manifest himself as the implacable foe of God. Jesus called the image he sets up in the Temple "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet" (Matthew 24:15). Our Lord's reference was to Daniel 9:27, where it is recorded that the prince (Antichrist or called the Political Beast, the Beast from the Sea) that shall come will break his covenant with the Jews and reveal himself as an abominable perjurer, blasphemer and desolater of men. Paul describes him as "the son of perdition," "that Wicked," "Lawless one" (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 8).
Obama has the spirit of the anti christ who will be a dictator of the one world government

"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire. January 7, 2008.
"We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
- Obama, Super Tuesday
Obama at fund-raiser with George Soros at Steven and Judy Gluckstern's home, April 9, 2007. New York Magazine April 16, 2007;
....................................................................................
The "church" of the mass media has an "angel of light" that 'tells you a beam of light' will come down upon you and you will be changed. ( This is what happened to Paul on the road to Damascus. Acts Chapter 9)
Obama is asking you to believe in him and he will convert you to the Cult of Obama.
Obama is preverting the Word of GOD by describing what will happen to if you "believe" in him. Obama is an anti Christ a deciever!
Read what acts Chap 9 says about Pauls conversion:
Acts Chapter 9
1: But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2: and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3: Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. 4: And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" 5: And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; 6: but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do." 7: The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8: Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9: And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10: Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord." 11: And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, 12: and he has seen a man named Anani'as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight." 13: But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem; 14: and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name." 15: But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16: for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."
17: So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18: And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized, 19: and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus.
20: And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, "He is the Son of God."
21: And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests."

We The People are the Controlling Authority (WARN AMERICA)
A message to Grassfire.org
An equipped resistance: Quote
We will use fax, email, phone, and personal visit campaigns to press our case with leaders in Washington, D.C., who need to know that millions oppose Obama’s rush to the Left.
I agree but you fail to mention THE MOST IMPORTANT THING PEOPLE CAN DO NOW.
................................................................................
......................
Jan 6, 2009 is D day for America. Congress has the authority to object to any electors qualification or object to Obama's qualification and debate the question of his "natural born citizenship" This is what your site needs to concentrate on NOW! This is what will make a difference. After Jan 6, 2009 if there are no objections to electors or Obama's qualifications as President elect he will be declared the winner.
Then if anything comes out about the fact he is not a natural born citizen or dual citizen the new Congress will take up the question. Of course the new Congress will not impeach him for ANY reason so it will be to late.
Jan 6, 2009 is the all important date. Jan 6, 2009 is when a joint session of Congress meets to count the electorial vote.
Our freedom and our liberty depend on freedom loving Americans contacting each and every memeber of Congress who can object to any elector or Obama, both the Senate and the House all 535. It only takes 1 Senator and 1 Congressman to object then there must be a debate on the objection and a vote.
I have not seen this all important information on your site. If you want to do something that can make the difference I urge you to add this information to your site and contact all members and non memebers informing them of this ciritical information that all Americans should know. It is in the 12th and 20th amendments.
Contact your senator and congressman and urge them to object to Obama's qualification as president before congress meets in joint session Jan 6, 2009. This is how Americans can make a difference. Demand, Urge Senators and Congressmen to object to electors that have cast their vote for Obama because there is reason to believe he is not a natural born citiizen or dual citizen.
You must contact congress before Jan 6, 2009. This is what the dems don't want you to know. This is one of the 2 things that stand in their way to socialism.
The other is the hope the supreme court will rule that obama's birth certificate must be produced and it will prove he is not a natural born citizen or dual citiizen! If this occurs before Jan 6, 2009 congress will have to cast their vote for Mccain as president as per the constitution. It states the congress must pick from the top 3 Presidential candidates that got the most electorial votes.
Jan 6, 2009 is the all important date. Jan 6, 2009 is when a joint session of Congress meets to count the electorial vote.
Jan 4, 2009 all new US Senators are sworn in.
If the Supreme Court rules against Obama before Jan 6, 2009 the dems will have to vote on the top 3 with the most electorial votes. Only Mccain and Obama received electorial votes. So if Obama is out Mccain is in because it is mandated by the Constitution.
What a hoot this would be the DEMS having to vote Mccain in as President!
Also during the joint session of Congress on Jan 6, 2009 any senator or congressman can object to the qualifications of obama or any elector. It takes just 1 senator and 1 congressman to start a debate that will end a vote for
electors.
After jan 6, 2009 if the supreme court rules against obama it will be too late.
Jan 6, 2009 is D day for America!
