Yesterday, President Bush emerged from the International Summit of 20 nations saying that in essence, he was for the free market capitalistic system, BUT, when faced with a depression like in the 30s, he mumbled something about what he was faced to do.
He spoke of the problems faced in a global economy, the success of the Summit and plans for meetings of more of the same. I can’t quote him verbatim, but from what I gathered, he’s trying to tell us his concerns about what is happening in other countries with no specifics about what is happening to individuals in this country such as our eroding private ownership of property rights and individual freedom. It’s all about what the world wants and needs. It sounded like a preamble to a One World government to me.
When one has lived as long as I have, you experience many twists and turns, ups and downs, ins and outs, fun times and sad times. And the beat goes on.
Because of my blogging and the 100 plus articles posted, I’ve been receiving some publicity lately. Until recently, I’ve led a rather quiet, low-key life for the past few years. A long-time friend from Woodstock, Georgia, named Emily, called twice this week to remind me of some past publicized events and times.
Her first call was about the much publicized Federal Court Case in the 70s, when I refused the forced school policy relative to immunizations. Because of that, I was on the six and 10 o’clock TV news, front page of the newspaper and all over talk radio. The reporters said I was newsworthy because I was one lone woman, living in the country, fighting the bureaucracy and winning. And I did win the case.

It seems as far back as I can remember I have always loved Freedom and wanted sovereignty of myself, but for many years, I had a different concept of it than I do now.
I married a military officer who was a command pilot towards the end of World War II. When he was released from the military, he remained a reserve officer. Consequently, he was recalled for the Korean conflict. We were living in Clewiston, Florida when he was assigned to an airbase in Biloxi, Mississippi. I waited about six months before moving there to join him. We lived in a small apartment in the rear of a grocery store.
His military salary was quite small, so I decided to get a job in a local photography studio to supplement his income. I loved that job. I started out as a proofreader, then the owner taught me how to use the camera and strobe lighting and for a time, I did the photography.

The National Presidential election is barely over and we keep hearing more and more about what the government is doing to nationalize companies, corporations and industries.
This means companies like the banking industry, insurance companies like AIG, and many others, have already had ownership transferred over to the centralized government. Other companies are not sitting idly by in the wings, yet actively attempting to sway the government to take over with bailouts, like the auto industry.
Then we hear talk of credit companies trying to come under the yolk of nationalization. Some already are nationalized. Then there’s a waiting list of large companies and corporations trying at some level to get on the bandwagon of government bailouts, which means they will no longer control their means of production, but instead will be under the jurisdiction of the new boss, i.e. the federal government.
