Solutions Matter

Today we as Americans are faced with an ever extending external control over our freedom. Not all feel the effects of change on their lives, they still have their job, costs of goods are on sale and discounts on trips and travel are temping. It’s a buyers’ market. For these people the glass is half full and life is grand.

Empathy or the understanding of our overall condition facing many of our fellow citizens is at my point today. Doing what is right and as leaders finding ways to create opportunity so more can reach the above realization. Unfortunately so many good hard working families have been affected by the changing shift of boom to bust cause and effect of Government involvement into the market place.

The need

For many the increase in cost of energy and food is hitting our family structure hard and getting worse. The consequence of these rising cost is generating strife in our family structure, the end results of which can and are destroying marriages and kids reacting in negative attention.

We find drug use in both the youth and adults increasing to deal with the inability to understand and know what to do. It seems that change is being thrust upon the parents and couples yet the lack of knowledge and no understanding of what is happening, or how to adjust to the change in what seems to be midstream of life. The why it’s happening with the overhead of upkeep is for some too much to handle and stress overcomes many.

The solution

Our society has developed into a follow society where very few leaders stand up and lead.

For many leaders have found what works for them, to keep their ship afloat. These leaders have adjusted and trimmed the waste to weather the change.

It seems that it’s all men for themselves as the “ship of America” drifts towards the rocky shore and freedom the victim. So it seems.

It is now the call to those who are leaders to do what a leader does. Cast a vision so big that not one person can achieve it on their own, to cause people to do what is not normal in the regular day of living and do the abnormal of rising up and bettering themselves and others to a higher goal, a vision, a dream to fight for what is worth living for. Our families, our right to serve our Creator, and our Freedom of Country.

I am searching for such leaders.

Yet without a path for measureable change, a plan that works. Such a vision is just that a vision. When we couple a proven workable system where we can mentor those that desire to work and do, we can mentor and show them knowledge and develop understanding to work with purpose, repeating over and over again a plan that can be shared and passed on. Each reaching the needed relief to restore the foundation of your family to bring back the respect of success in the eyes of our love ones. To stand for a purpose in a time of no purpose.

My call is for leaders first. My search is for people with compassion and understanding to work with me and as a team to work my plan.

The Plan

As with any door that you enter, a door is just that, a door. The door allows entrance into a place.

The door’s threshold is not a stage for a detailed presentation; it is just a door to enter.

This is why I would like to meet with you and share with you my vision.

If you are such a leader and ready to grow and be a part of the solution, not just a “I wish you well” and move on type person. Then I need you to help me help others.

There is no magic answer, however there is the old saying, “if you show me your faith, I will show you my blisters”   

I know you already know this, and yes you will be rewarded for your leadership as you lead others.

In our changing times, requires change in each of us. To think differently, do differently because in order for a reaction, requires action. Action in a different direction yields reaction in that direction.

I need you to be such a leader today, for yourself and others. For the kids hurting as the family suffers, for our future stability. Yes you can make this difference.

Can I count on you to listen to my plan that works?  Will you lead as a leader and give of yourself? This is a call to leaders only. In America we still have great leaders all around us, now is our time. Stand with me as we together CAN make a difference.

On February 2, 2012 at BMW Of Little Rock, 7:00pm I will share our plan to create income, help others, and yourself. All I need is YOU.

Big Government, what to do?

What are citizens to do with an uncontrollable government, hell bent on imposing more and more bigger government upon the people.

Obama said, he would change the very foundation of America. Bigger government, more of your income to fund the wishes and desires of the elite in this socialist society. Just like is has been and will be, the people are the losers and the payers of this proven failure of social engineering.

The battle ground is clear. Freedom the prize. Government vs Main Street.

Government believes with your money and all it can get. That they and they alone can bring utopia to the people. By controlling and spending the next generations’ future, the government somehow believes they know best.

Finance the future to live for today or until the next election. The vision of a long term goal for America is not to be found by politicians. Politicians that somehow know how to get elected seem to know very little on how to govern. Special interest and directing money that will somehow find its way back to the pocket of the elected to keep the machine running and keep getting elected.

Main Street is the battle ground. People who desire to live a life and grow a better tomorrow by hard work and following the rules. If you work hard and smart you can gain in finance to live a better life. Your personal freedom is your goal. To live your life as you desire by hard work.

This very belief is contrary to Government's want for you. Governments sees a better tomorrow by having everyone equal and in a socialist society. (The end results, think of the old Russia)

Government is providing 45 million and growing on soup lines called food stamps, 9 million and growing on unemployment. The ability of funding their society is costing 14 plus trillion of DEBT and growing. It does not work.

Now the solutions.

We the people have a choice. But we are set up to fail in growing Main Street.

The Federal Reserve has limited credit to Main Street so the traditional form of business of getting a loan from a bank and start a business is nearly gone. By design.

The goal of government is to have the people need more government. This is where we have to say NO!!

The way to do it is simple. Everyone needs to start their very own business and be in business. This is the battle ground.

Government thinks private business cannot provide and government is the answer, thus the need for more debt to reach their goal.

I offer up two possible solutions.

The first is one that is quick and simple and will help the average citizen counter the effects of stupid leaders in government, yes stupid.

This first step is to be in business. Specify eFoods: Independent Business Owner.

www.porto.myefoods.com is the link to join.

Why eFoods? Simple, it is a way to have a business with a proven model of low entry cost and no overhead needed to be a successful owner.

The second reason is that with the failure of government, food is our greatest need. Inflation is going up and so is food. Look for food cost to go out the roof after this debt limit action.

People need our product and the income from this food is your answer to the need for funds.

Do your research.

So, the first step is for everyone to have a business in the private sector to fight the overreaching government.

We have the model and the product to match the greatest need each family needs and that is food at low cost that has a shelve life of 15-25 years.

With Food you have options, without it you do not. How long can you have options with your current food reserves?

Can you take care of your love ones with what you have now, and for how long?

Second action needed.

We the people need to start in our State a people owned Bank. A bank outside the Federal Reserve System. Our model is the Bank of North Dakota. It is the only bank in America that exists outside the control of the Federal Reserve, a private company mind you.

Each State can create its own bank and issue credit to the people and the interest gained from loans offset the cost of government. Study North Dakota. 3.3 % unemployment, 21 % gain in profits that offset the cost of government and lower taxes on the people.

This is harder to work on with elected favoring special interest. However watch for the real leaders in States that will do the will of the people and move to a State that will offer a free market State vs a Nanny State, following the Federal Government.

This is our course of action to fight big government that cannot and will not work and in the end destroy the very freedom of America.

Freedom the gain. Is it too late?   

NO Bailout for Main Street

It can seem confusing and complicated to view how the
Central Bank and Congress interact. Who is responsible for what and how it all
works.

Let me give you a 30,000 ft. view to help.

The question is why is Main Street not getting loans from
bank and why the Fed is not going to bailout local governments.

Let me just say the system is broken.

You see the Central Bank, created by bankers for bankers
called the Federal Reserve, which is a private company is at the root of the
problem.

When the banks created this credit mess in 2008 and got into
credit trouble along with non-banks, the Fed picked and decided who they would
help with massive amount of “credit”. Reports show up to 3.3 trillion dollars
with just the click of a keyboard, no need for the printing press here. So
winners and losers were picked by the Fed. It’s important to know that some
helped were not banks.

Now today. Local governments are in real trouble and up to
50 or more local governments could go under. So why is the Fed now saying they
don’t have the ability to help?

The Fed Chairman Mr. Ben Bernanke said his hands are tied!
Really. Looking at how it helped non-banks in the past and picking winners and losers
why now, not helping the local governments? He quotes Section 13.

The Dodd Frank bill and all, I have the notes but too
detailed to put it all here.

The long and the short of it, Congress could pass another
law like the Dodd Frank bill and tell the Fed to help, or Congress could issue
credit loans. But let’s be clear, just as Senator Dick Durbin said in a radio
program in April 2009, Congress is owned by the banks. Changes in the law are
more likely to go the other way.

So what is the out?

It’s not for local government to cut needed services like
police and teacher to pressure the public to pay more taxes.

What we are seeing is a monopoly of funds and control of
those funds. The Fed is saying it doesn’t want the local muni market. Congress
could change that. The total bailout for all the government would be about 150
billion, the Fed said it could cause hyperinflation. Really, 3.3 trillion in
bailout so far and 150 will be the tipping point? Come on, we are not that
stupid.

Now we see that if you are a banker and in the private club
of the Fed, they could help you, all others need not apply.

The solution! State and local governments should work with
the people and form a State bank like BND, Bank of North Dakota. Each state can
create its own “mini fed” to create credit and with the tax deposits and the
banking system, we don’t need the Central Bank for money. The power is in each
state to follow the lead of the only bank in America that is NOT under the
Federal Reserve.

We can create our own credit and lean money to ourselves and
match dollars with material and labor to create jobs and the interest goes to
fund the cost of government and lower taxes on the people.

Google the Bank of North Dakota and call your representative
and have our state help ourselves.

I am available to speak to your group on this topic and
reasons why the Fed is not helping Main Street, remember we are not part of the
private club of the Fed.

Greed has no motherland.

Island by Ourselves

World views or even our daily lives are formed by our past,
what we lived and what we have been taught. We adjust our view and we reach a
point of having our options. One generation looks at the other generation and
sees changes, if they differ in their views of values, each holds onto theirs
and find reasons why the other is wrong. Finding reasons might have been to
justify ones need to prove they are right even when maybe they were not. For
either generation stand.

It is the “right” part that I want to look at. So what is
right? How do we come to the narrow answer of right? Is there such a thing?

We find all around us changes. One day we are told by the
experts that eggs are bad for you, and then year’s later eggs are good for you.
Examples of such flip flop are everywhere. Our schools give test yet a failing
grade is not a failing grade if we use the curve system.

We look at our world view and hear the words democracy and
based on our view of how we grew up we vision a way of governing. But wait. Now
we see our view is based not on what is right or wrong but how we use words and
change their definition.

We see Bill Clinton answer the question, “it depends on what
is, is”.

I say all this because the question has to be asked, how
does stability change? When did or how did the faith in the dollar change for
you?

After all, the dollar is the world currency! Stability in America
in a large part is because America enjoys the strength of the dollar, everyone
wants and uses the dollar as the currency of trade. Even in other Country, they
use our dollar not their own to buy oil or trade with other Countries.

Stability, Right and Wrong, Democracy, free market. It seems
we are changing in front of our eyes.

Where we go from here in a large part is in what you
believe.

Your action to do something or nothing is based on what? Do
you still believe our government is looking after your family’s best interest?
Plying on more debt like it doesn’t matter, spending on programs that cannot be
sustained?  

I saw a Muslim spokesperson on TV last night saying Sharia
law is better for America. He pointed out our GDP and our debt as a spoiled
country and our crime punishment is not working and on and on. Now his views
had merit of facts, however his views to fix it are Sharia law for America.

So where do we go from here? We now have outside forces
saying America is weak, spending too much and a firm hand needs to step in and
we need to be under Sharia law.

After all, we the people have allowed our elected to go
unchecked and spend our future for today. We have allowed them to forgo the
Constitution of limited government.  We
have cities of jails and average citizens are not protected in our streets nor
are our Country’s boarders protected.

It seems to me, values have changed and many don’t trust the
direction of our Country leadership and leadership is the stability and the
words of trust or distrust from our leader do affect our values of right and
wrong.

The dollar is falling from greed of the Central Bank, our
Constitution is falling from political greed and our future is falling from spending
or buying political votes for power. No wonder the final rule of what is right
and what is wrong ends up in the Supreme Court. Given enough time and a
President that does not have the same values can replace our Supreme Court and by
our view and values deem Freedom as not Free and remove the Constitution for
Sharia law.

I have said before, if you will not control yourself someone
else will. It looks like some people think we cannot control our spending and “social
justice” and they will be happy to do it with a firm hand.

We the people have tried but……

All and all a perfect storm and many don’t care.

The dollar is falling and Gold and Silver is rising. This is
the response to the right and wrong of our Leadership. So sad.

Central Banks Never CARE

It amazes me learning about the Central Bank, called the
Fed. As if it is part of our government, but it is not. It is a private
company.

In the small business meeting to find a way to get small
business going, I would laugh my, you know what off, if it wasn’t so serious. In
an interview with the Fed Chair, with not so hard questions, and that is part
of our problem, the reporters must not be educated or for some reason unable to
ask the important questions. It’s like a cop that has a murder suspect and the
cop never ask the hard questions, like, did you kill him, or where were you on …..

What we did learn was that the Fed is proud of pumping up
the stock market to new highs. This is what I have been saying all along. Main
Street will not see a red cent from the spending of the Central Bank, because
the interest is in helping their pals on Wall Street, and once the money that
is created out of thin air is no longer being printed, the game is over.

We the people will end up with more debt, more unemployment,
and inflation directly caused by this self-directed view that they think they
know what the fat they are doing. When in fact, with interest rates not
controlled by the market but by the Fed and the boom bust cycle of these mal investments
that will disappear when the money runs out and all the gain is lost. We will
be in a worse condition then before we started.

So you say, okay mister smart paints, what would you do. My
answer is simple. Let the market decide. We have a few guys social engineering
the failure of our economy and Main Street is suffering.

Free market is the victim while just like the past, the
powerful bankers sit up there and rule the universe all the while padding their
pockets and making the noise that they are helping the little guy.

Yes one could say we have class warfare in this country, but
it’s not race, even though there is race issues, it’s not unemployment with
those unemployed, it’s not a lot of the issues that the press fall for and
reports. Remember my saying, don’t look at the problem, but look at what set up
the conditions for the problem.

In a very short answer, it is us against the Central Bank,
plain and simple. Greed has no motherland and the Fed is starving Main Street
and acting like they care, when in fact they never ever did or do care.

The politician are a day late and so far behind the power
curve that they will crash our Country and show up years later at the crash
site asking what happened. They are of no help, they are too stupid.

I could go into the QE I and II, it reminds me of a bad move
squeal with part 1 thru 15 and on and on when will they learn it is not working,
but they keep doing it.

The facts of indicators show if you review GDP growth,
retail sales, industrial production or durable goods orders all show the Fed
has failed.

The Fed interest is in pumping up his friends’ playground
called the stock market. If I were you I would run from the market, get out!!!!
NOW... and of course invest in something solid GOLD.

You watch and see…  

Foolishness I tell you

I was at a local gun show this weekend working and meeting
local people. The show was a bit slow however the people were good to meet and
interesting.

While visiting with different types of folks, I couldn’t
keep from thinking how we as American’s have God given rights.

The rights are part of our Constitution said to be given to
us by God and that man should not be able to remove such rights.

A local tv reporter who has covered me in other matters,
more political, came by my booth and was asking questions about gun law and
about limiting guns.

She said she was sure there would be lots of viewpoints with
the people that attend gun shows.

While she was interviewing or walking around, I was thinking
how narrow minded and foolish such actions of limiting our rights are. Just
because of an action of someone, everyone should be stripped of our rights
given to us in our Constitution?

With such thinking it reminded me of a show on TV I was
watching while flipping channels. The show was 48 hours; the case was of a
killing of a man. The 48 hours elapsed, but months later the show updated on
finding the killer. The killer confessed of the killing and told the whole
story.

It was a paid hit over drugs and money. They used a car to
run over the guy.

So my question has to be, if using the very same knee jerk
reaction to think of solving a problem, then we should ban money and cars and
then the killing will come to an end.

It’s not the removing of rights that is the issue, it’s the
punishing the action of the few that abuse their rights and others.

You see the law does nothing in protection the law abiding
citizen, we are sheep for the killing and when it happens all protection is
given to the law breaker not the law abiding citizen.

Just like our economy, we have to look at what causes the
problem not the problem and find the solution, what caused the problem.

This is why we have such foolishness at our airports.
Instead of doing the right thing of challenging and profile of the people committing
 attacks, we punish everyone, and the
ideal of maybe going after our guns for some mental person action.  Instead of looking at the reason for the
failure they address a response to an action. Foolishness I tell you.

It's natural for Corrections

In a free market, supply and demand is the driving force that provides the
value. If there is too much of something the value is less and if there is less
the value is worth more.

How we look at things can help us see what could and should happen. The driving forces of a free market in it's more pure form is simple, however today the free market is less than free, it has factors that really limit the function of operation with too many rules and regulations. (Yes, some
rules and regulations are needed, but not many) 

Free market is competition. 

Let's look at most any area where free market is free to operate and we can
see everyone is the better for it. The average man and woman live better today
cause of the private free market. The value of anything and the quality of that
thing is far better when free market is in play. For the few dollars competing for that item, many will try to work, serve and create a better product for those few dollars. This allows the buyer more
options and better quality.

When we remove the gain of the work, by too many rules and regulations, the people suffer .

At first glance it seem good to strap such rules on a market place, and some
are needed, but few. The market place will do the self-correction by not buying
a bad product or practice. We don't need to hurt the whole market place due to what
if.

In the end the very so called rules to protect is the very cause that puts
those jobs and cost out of the reach of the very people it was designed to
help. This is the cause and effect of undue burdens on the free market.

Have you considered how the free market produces your favorite sandwich?
Pick yours and think of where and who raised the meat, the farmer who raised
the vegies, the factory that made the bread and everything you place on your favorite
sandwich. Look at the people at the supply store that provided the feed to the
farmer, the trucks and drivers that was used, the refrigeration’s systems that
were built and the timing of all this in an affordable way to have everything
come together when you request your desired sandwich and at a very affordable
cost.

Yes the free market is self-correcting and to remove the supply or effect
the demand will lower the standard of living to the average family, this is why
less government and more free market will cause value and more demand which
will demand more employed and raises the standard of living for all.

This is the history of America, what is new is Big Government and that is
and should not be the future of America.
