Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’
Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the
surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about
anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are
very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the
systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and
doing their dastardly thing.
Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of
buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units
assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by coordinators, causing
damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever,
individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the
inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the
government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death.
Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and
identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a
matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
“Hell”ary Clinton is on the move opening up jobs. She didn’t stop at firing her own people, she is now getting people fired everywhere.
If you see her coming, run for your life. Your job may be in jeopardy.
Remember: “Hell”ary does deliver results.
This is not a message from the Obama campaign. He does not have to apologize.
TO: NEWS MEDIA, SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES
After this weekend, I don’t know what to say the people we have become. I have appealed to senator Bond, several times over this racism that has spilled through people that call themselves Conservative, Christian, Republicans. Now we hear this Rep. Steve King. His ignorance tops it all. If this congress isn’t ashamed by now, there is no help. He thought he was being cute, but he probably lost his position. Missourians must now believe, Sen. Bond is part of this group. He refused to help me get the money I deserve, so I could help these young people that has experienced injustice caused by the governor and attorney general. The fact- permission was given to lie on citizens and this lying went through court successfully. It seems as though God is now revealing these people. They forgot their Christianity or they never had it. This is America, and our government refuses to address this racism. What is the saddest part, there are so many Muslims in this country. They have proven they are peace making people. They have all the reason in the world to rise up. They must truly be people of intelligence. If rep. King thinks that a name, would cause Islamic terrorist to dance in the streets, they are dancing over his ignorance. If Hussein is so terrible, then why aren’t they acknowledging Bin Laden’s family in Texas? His ex-wife is or has invested in U.S. companies that make military equipment. Why isn’t he bothered by this? Bin Laden is who we are after. He is making money from this. This is why this country is collapsing. The ignorance of the Conservative Republicans. Spreading their hate. How many bad names can we call someone. Real intelligence. There has been enough hate spilled by these republicans to Americans, maybe we need to have them investigated for terrorism. Maybe our lives are in danger.

I heard some very good advise for Obama on TV today. It is obvious, people are tired of the racism and insults by the Republicans and Clinton. After the remarks by rep. Steve King, people have had enough. Sen. McCain does not have to apologize for this. This racism and total vicious remarks on Muslims, needs to be addressed by the Republican party. It’s this kind of hate, that is causing Americans to be hated. It’s the party that has been running this country that causes the hatred that Americans and people all over this earth has suffered. We do not want anymore of these experienced people. The intelligent level is low. That is why G. Bush fell for Bin Laden. It was his aim to bring us down in the manner he did. It’s this hate filled administration that is causing the Islam Jihad to dance in the streets. But, the Bible states, hatred will consume a person.
If rep. King has a problem with the name Hussein, someone needs to tell him what the word translates in English. Prince. If the word prince is his problem, then his name King is worst.
One comment was similar to my suggestions. He needs to get his surrogates out there, and discredit Hillary Clinton’s record of experience. She hasn’t been successful in her efforts. New York didn’t receive the jobs she promised. They lost 50,000 more. Her health plans have failed. She has shown poor judgment in handling her campaign. She goes through money like water. She has created chaos by not investigating the validity of information. On and on. She has Canada’s Parliament angry at her. Not very good for diplomacy.
This is what I suggest, in Mississippi. Her husband with G. Bush senior, raises money for disasters like Katrina. There was a lot of money contributed. If she was concerned about the situation, she could have insisted through her husband, to conduct an investigation as to why, all these victims have had no help. They could have raised more money to go directly to those that were mistreated by this government.
If she cared about the people in Mississippi, why would she want millions to have a redo of these primaries? If there are millions to be spent, it should go to help all the people, who are afraid they will never have anything again. Why isn’t she intelligent enough and responsible and caring enough to just split these delegates evenly, and it should put one over the top. Why can’t she ever be fair?
When one law is broken to satisfy a person’s wants, there are more laws that have to be broken. It goes on and on.
