			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the early eighties Michael Badnarik started his career as a computer programmer at an Illinois nuclear power plant. For the past twenty years he has continued this professional course, but during this time he became interested and frustrated with politics. As a result, in 1983 Badnarik began studying the IRS and then the constitution. He had since condensed his 18 years of research into a short eight hour course that he would teach in a lecture format. It included some of the fundamentals on our rights and the foundations of our republic. A video recording of one of the classes has been made and you can watch it here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The videos above give a good introduction to the scam that is the Federal Reserve, however the book is very detailed and a must read.  Among other things we learn about the corruption of our government long ago, their motivations, their goals, including wars for profit and the war on the environment as their prime catalysts for a New World Order, totalitarian in nature, disguised as freedom.</p>
<p>The book product description follows:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magicians&#8217; secrets are unveiled. We get a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, their pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A dry and boring subject? Just wait! </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>You&#8217;ll be hooked in five minutes. Reads like a detective story &#8211; which it really is. But it&#8217;s all true. This book is about the most blatant scam of all history. It&#8217;s all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Creature from Jekyll Island</span></strong> is a &#8220;must read.&#8221; Your world view will definitely change.  You&#8217;ll never trust a politician again &#8211; or a banker.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Report from Iron Mountain is required reading for anyone wanting the truth about the global warming hoax.  Though the report has been discredited over the years by those who want it discredited, their efforts have been railroaded by the truth.  In a nutshell, The Report from Iron Mountain was created by a group of 15 experts organized by the Kennedy administration to determine what problems and challenges the United States would encounter if the world moved from an age of war to one of peace.</p>
<p>The group goes into great detail about the functions of war and &#8220;substitutes&#8221; for the function of war among other things such as global peace keepers, population control, fabricated extraterrestrial enemies, genetic experiments, slave labor, world religion and world government.  I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.  Watch the documentary above and download this pdf report below to come up to speed on this situation.  A friendly warning: you will be shocked and likely very angry as long as some blind political ambition or allegiance isn&#8217;t clouding your judgment.</p>
<p>Download the <a href="http://www.thecommontruth.com/images/Report_from_Iron_Mountain.pdf" target="_blank">Report from Iron Mountain</a> (pdf)</p>

<p>All we hear in the mainstream media today is how 1,700 scientists concur that global warming and climate change are man-made.  We hear nothing about the 31,000+ scientists who are adamantly against that &#8220;consensus&#8221;.</p>
<p>Read about the 31,000+ here:  <a href="http://www.petitionproject.org/" target="_blank">Global Warming Petition Project</a></p>
<p>In addition, we now know that CO2 follows warming related to natural cycles of the planet, not the other way around, as illustrated in this graphic below of the last 400,000 years: (right click and view the image below to see it larger)</p>
<p>There is countless data, studies and information on the web concerning the natural cycles of warming on the planet, search for yourself.  I&#8217;ve included a few links here as a primer with information concerning the natural cycles and warming:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The video included here is not associated with this prediction released this week.   The video is for further reference on the subject.</p>
<p><strong>From Nasa.gov:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78,&#8221; says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It is tempting to describe such a cycle as &#8220;weak&#8221; or &#8220;mild,&#8221; but that could give the wrong impression.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather,&#8221; points out Biesecker. &#8220;The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The 1859 storm&#8211;known as the &#8220;Carrington Event&#8221; after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare&#8211;electrified transmission cables, set fires in telegraph offices, and produced Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow. A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society&#8217;s high-tech infrastructure and require four to ten years for complete recovery. For comparison, Hurricane Katrina caused &#8220;only&#8221; $80 to 125 billion in damage.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The latest forecast revises an earlier prediction issued in 2007. At that time, a sharply divided panel believed solar minimum would come in March 2008 followed by either a strong solar maximum in 2011 or a weak solar maximum in 2012. Competing models gave different answers, and researchers were eager for the sun to reveal which was correct.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;It turns out that none of our models were totally correct,&#8221; says Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA&#8217;s lead representative on the panel. &#8220;The sun is behaving in an unexpected and very interesting way.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Researchers have known about the solar cycle since the mid-1800s. Graphs of sunspot numbers resemble a roller coaster, going up and down with an approximately 11-year period. At first glance, it looks like a regular pattern, but predicting the peaks and valleys has proven troublesome. Cycles vary in length from about 9 to 14 years. Some peaks are high, others low. The valleys are usually brief, lasting only a couple of years, but sometimes they stretch out much longer. In the 17th century the sun plunged into a 70-year period of spotlessness known as the Maunder Minimum that still baffles scientists.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Right now, the solar cycle is in a valley&#8211;the deepest of the past century. In 2008 and 2009, the sun set Space Age records for low sunspot counts, weak solar wind, and low solar irradiance. The sun has gone more than two years without a significant solar flare.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;In our professional careers, we&#8217;ve never seen anything quite like it,&#8221; says Pesnell. &#8220;Solar minimum has lasted far beyond the date we predicted in 2007.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In recent months, however, the sun has begun to show timorous signs of life. Small sunspots and &#8220;proto-sunspots&#8221; are popping up with increasing frequency. Enormous currents of plasma on the sun’s surface (&#8220;zonal flows&#8221;) are gaining strength and slowly drifting toward the sun’s equator. Radio astronomers have detected a tiny but significant uptick in solar radio emissions. All these things are precursors of an awakening Solar Cycle 24 and form the basis for the panel&#8217;s new, almost unanimous forecast.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">According to the forecast, the sun should remain generally calm for at least another year. From a research point of view, that&#8217;s good news because solar minimum has proven to be more interesting than anyone imagined. Low solar activity has a profound effect on Earth’s atmosphere, allowing it to cool and contract. Space junk accumulates in Earth orbit because there is less aerodynamic drag. The becalmed solar wind whips up fewer magnetic storms around Earth&#8217;s poles. Cosmic rays that are normally pushed back by solar wind instead intrude on the near-Earth environment. There are other side-effects, too, that can be studied only so long as the sun remains quiet.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Meanwhile, the sun pays little heed to human committees. There could be more surprises, panelists acknowledge, and more revisions to the forecast.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Go ahead and mark your calendar for May 2013,&#8221; says Pesnell. &#8220;But use a pencil.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Harvey Bernard Milk</strong> (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and <a class="mw-redirect" title="List of gay, lesbian or bisexual firsts" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gay,_lesbian_or_bisexual_firsts">the first</a> openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the <a title="San Francisco Board of Supervisors" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Board_of_Supervisors">San Francisco Board of Supervisors</a>. Politics and gay activism were not Milk&#8217;s early interests; he did not feel the need to be open about his <a title="Homosexuality" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality">homosexuality</a> or participate in civic matters until around age 40, after his experiences in the <a title="Counterculture of the 1960s" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterculture_of_the_1960s">counterculture of the 1960s</a>.</p>
<p>Milk moved from <a title="New York City" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City">New York City</a> to settle in <a title="San Francisco" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco">San Francisco</a> in 1972 amid a migration of gay men moving to the <a title="The Castro, San Francisco, California" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castro,_San_Francisco,_California">Castro District</a> in the 1970s. He took advantage of the growing political and economic power of the neighborhood to promote his interests, and ran unsuccessfully for political office three times. His theatrical campaigns earned him increasing popularity, and Milk won a seat as a city supervisor in 1977, a result of the broader social changes the city was experiencing.</p>
<p>Milk served 11 months in office and was responsible for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance for the city. On November 27, 1978, Milk and Mayor <a title="George Moscone" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Moscone">George Moscone</a> were <a title="Moscone–Milk assassinations" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscone%E2%80%93Milk_assassinations">assassinated</a> by <a title="Dan White" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_White">Dan White</a>, another city supervisor who had recently resigned but wanted his job back. Conflicts between liberal trends that were responsible for Milk&#8217;s election and conservative resistance to those changes were evident in events following the assassinations.</p>
<p>Despite his short career in politics, Milk has become an icon in San Francisco and &#8220;a martyr for gay rights&#8221;, according to <a title="University of San Francisco" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_San_Francisco">University of San Francisco</a> professor Peter Novak.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> In 2002, Milk was called &#8220;the most famous and most significantly open <a title="LGBT" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT">LGBT</a> official ever elected in the United States&#8221;.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> <a title="Anne Kronenberg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Kronenberg">Anne Kronenberg</a>, his final campaign manager, wrote of him: &#8220;What set Harvey apart from you or me was that he was a visionary. He imagined a righteous world inside his head and then he set about to create it for real, for all of us.&#8221;<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interesting documentary that hits on what I personally perceive to be an underlying &#8220;selfishness&#8221; that no one wants to acknowledge about themselves, and certainly not at the cost of accepting others differences.</p>
<p>When it comes down to it, all of us who are part of some gang or group that judges any other individual or group are the root of the problems we enjoy today.  The irony is that these people don&#8217;t think they are being selfish.</p>
<p>Most of the groups to the far left or far right are as selfish as they come these days.  It&#8217;s the moderates in the middle who are tired of the crap and the all or nothing extremes that the fringes of the parties venture to that leave us without a party to call American.</p>
