warning (4)

I spoke too soon yesterday....

I have effectively been silenced - as has every other retired member from any service.
I received my May-August 2013 copy of the "Echos" magazine in the mail today... (the retiree's newsletter). Within it was what I find an ominous article on page 10 titled "Did you know? Retired Soldiers and the Uniform Code of Military Justice" (UCMJ)
It references AR 27-10, Chapter 5, section 1, 5-2(b) 3.

Any of you who are a Vet (not a retiree) or citizen without Military service I would encourage you to write your elected on this topic - as silencing all retiree's takes away quite a bit of firepower to the argument.... All Retiree's should write their elected as well - but do the homework yourself and see what the regulation holds..... FUBAR folks.

I'm Army, so I have no clue what other services regulations hold within them - but my assumption is, they reflect each other in UCMJ here just as they reflect each other in every other aspect. It's US Code.... federal law. Just as I have reminded Congress often enough, no one is above the law..... (even if they are not obeying it - I HAVE too, or I am no different than they)

It appears these points within AR 27-10 were inserted somewhere in 1978 or thereabouts... (possibly earlier but I can't find them)
I went back as far as I could and discovered a legal discussion (Military Law Review) written in 1979 discussing the new term "extraordinary circumstances" which appears to be the key phrase and legal "switch" that will be used in the current 2011 version of the reg.

If you are a Veteran - but not a Retiree, you are probably safe from inclusion under this... certainly no more than any other US Citizen who speaks out against this government... but as a Retiree, the bottom line is; they can call you back to AD at any age and at any time for the purposes of Court Marshaling you under "extraordinary circumstances".

No one can dispute we currently have "extraordinary circumstances" in our Nation and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they will bend (or ignore whatever aspects of) the Law to whatever degree they feel necessary to silence anyone who speaks out against this government.

I will continue to write my elected - nothing in UCMJ can prevent that and I will continue my research to see if posting those letters violates UCMJ in any way - but I am only going to be reading from now on, not posting what I find. I will keep my own counsel. Please forgive me, I'm still here but I've been silenced.

Knowing this now, I ask you pray for all Retiree's... as after this particular warning in Echoes.... This could prove to be a very ominous warning of dire results to come - to all retirees.....

Trust me, I WILL be contacting my elected on this subject - along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

Call me if you need to talk.

Michael Lombardi in his latest publication talks about an economic downfall that will possible take place in 3rd or 4th quarter of 2013. He named this prediction as Critical Warning Number Six which according to him will be more severe and devastating than the one in 2007-08. Since its publication, the prediction has created much buzz and controversy among investors and stock owners which is how it gained popularity among the masses. Lombardi says that his prediction is in fact based on current market and economic trends that seems temperate at the moment but will turn ugly and extreme in the future.

He points out that the current bullish market is one of the biggest indications that the US economy will fall in the deadly pit of recession in the forthcoming days. The United States Economy has been recovering from the destructive effects of recession that happened 5 years back in 2007. Current look at the market and economic figures reveal that the economy has recovered enough and the market is indeed earning large profits with major stock and investment sectors becoming more and more powerful. Investors who are currently involved in investment pursuits are earning decent returns and businesses that were under losses are gaining progressive momentum.  According to Lombardi such kind of economic growth is a marker of an upcoming recession since historical records propose the fact that whenever economy reaches its pinnacle of growth a recessional event occurs and bring things back to normal. Due to this cyclic trend economy is always growing and this cyclic chain of growth and downfall will continue to happen in the future as well.

More over Lombardi indicates that the current global economic scenario is not so pleasant either. Presently Europe is still under the effects of a sovereign-debt crisis and a deeper look in the European economy reveals that Southern Europe will be remain under recession for the present year 2013 primarily because of high unemployment rates and hard hitting austerity programs. In addition, recent development indicates the starting of a global currency war by major economies like Japan, Brazil, Switzerland, Venezuela, etc. as all these nations are getting engaged in manipulating their exchange rate and bringing down their currency values in an attempt to import inflation and boost money flow in their own local economies. As per Lombardi there is no particular winner or loser in a currency war but such developments will surely affect the business of US entrepreneurs who are engaged in foreign trade and invested a good amount of capital in economies overseas.

Thus the current foreign and local issues indeed appear to be chaotic and under such negative circumstances market can indeed collapse in the upcoming days. Therefore Lombardi recommends investors to buckle up at present when things are still pleasant and start preparing for this upcoming downturn. The main purpose of Lombardi’s critical warning number six is not to create panic and havoc among investors but to enlighten them about the approaching danger so that they can make the best move now in order to evade the dangers that lies ahead.

Unwanted guests

Not sure if anyone else is receiving unwanted invites using the teaparty.org site, but I have received two today requesting my friendship with a yahoo address, yet when you go to the teaparty.org site, these people do not exist.  Their English is questionable, as well.
