Reminder

Reminder


During this political season, it is good to be reminded of these wise words:   
 
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. 
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. 
                                                     
                                                                                --Abraham Lincoln

LIFE EXPECTANCY DROPS TO 69.3 YEARS IN THE USA
HOW MUCH IS 8 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE WORTH?
In2003 life expectancy in the USA was 77.6 years. The drop to 69.3 yearssince 2003, a drop of over 8 years is startling information.  Thisperiod of time just happens to coincide with a time when there has beennon-stop spraying of chemtrails coast to coast on an almost dailybasis.  There is plenty of scientific research proving that anyincrease in airborne particulates causes a corresponding increase inthe death rate of the exposed population so imo the chemtrails are aglaringly obvious factor in this significant drop in expected life span.

TO PUT IT BLUNTLY IT APPEARS THAT THE CHEMTRAILS ARE ROBBING EVERYONE IN THE USA OF 8 YEARS OF LIFE.

Ioriginally found the life expectancy stats headlined in an article atRense.com. The original article has since disappeared off the Rensesite.

Texas bar sues church

(Not sure of the validity of this, the person who e-mailed it never send cites, but it is kind of thought provoking!):

How would you like to bethe Judge?

TEXAS Bar Sues Church

In a small Texas town, ( Mt. Vernon ) Drummond's bar began construction on a new building to increase their business.
The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening
withpetitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week beforeopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar
owner sued the church on the grounds that the
church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either
throughdirect or indirect actions or means. The church vehemently denied allresponsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its replyto the court.

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At
the hearing he commented, 'I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation
that does not.'

Ex-Astronaut: Aliens Are Real and Government Knows It

Ex-Astronaut: Aliens Are Real and Government Knows It

Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist.

Hesays extraterrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions — but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.

Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview in Birmingham, England, that sources in the federal government who had had contact with aliens described the beings as "little people who look strange to us."

He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a "small gray" — short, slight frame, large eyes and large head.

Mitchell also claimed human technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as the aliens' and "had they been hostile," he warned "we would be been gone by now."
