Tea Party 2009!! This vast, fast growing movement is sweeping the country like so many Paul Reveres on midnight rides! Almost overnight, the People of America, having watched this administration pass an unread bill numbering over a thousand pages filled with hidden, secret agenda contrary to thethe call to a new American Tea Party. CNBC's Rick Santelli issuing the "tea party" call at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange As WND reported, CNBC analyst Rick Santelli became a YouTube sensation after he spoke out against President Obama's proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout plan and other massive spending measures with a call for a new "tea party" from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In a nearly three-minute rant that drew approving hoots and comments from nearby traders, Santelli said the Obama administration's promotion of bad behavior must be causing the Founding Fathers to roll over in their graves. "We're thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July," Santelli told CNBC "Squawk Box" co-anchor Joe Kernan. interests of the American People have decided that ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
Tea Parties patterned after the original Boston Tea Party in 1773, have sprung up all over the United States this week and continue to do so. The original, a direct action protest by the American colonists against the British Government in which they destroyed many crates of tea belonging to the British East India Company and dumped it into the Boston Harbor , was in part a protest against taxation without representation, and was a major catalyst of the American Revolution. It remains an iconic event of American history, forever emblazoned in our minds as the ultimate act of frustration against unheeding and uncaring Big Govenment, and is often translated into the famous line from the film, "Network," in which character *Howard Beale, played by Peter Finch, exclaims, "WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!"
It is clear that Americans share his frustration and are not going to put up with Government pillage any longer. Michelle Malkin http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/27/fiscal-responsibility-is-the-new-counterculture/ has been blogging and reporting on various actions around the country and posting photos from, among others, San Diego, North Carolina, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Nashville, Portland, Shelby, AL, Lansing, MI, Cleveland, OH, Houston and Austin, TX, Denver, Orlando and Hartford, CT.
One thing certain is that there are definitely many more to come, and the movement is growing quickly, with a large Fourth of July Party planned along with myriad others.

Rick Santelli initiated the call to a new American Tea Party last week. CNBC's Rick Santelli issuing the "tea party" call at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange As WND reported, CNBC analyst Rick Santelli became a YouTube sensation after he spoke out against President Obama's proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout plan and other massive spending measures with a call for a new "tea party" from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Truth Escaping Despite Supreme Efforts to the Contrary by Media & Gov't.
We bring to you an update from just one of the many Tea Parties that are taking place around the country this week, this one from You Tube's very own bloggerinterrupted, entitled, "Tea Party Protestors Believe Obama NOT US-Born" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNQUA0bI5b0
Clearly, the word is out among Americans--the question now is whether the besotted and boondoggled main stream media will dare to report the truth about what Americans feel about the administration that has been thrust upon them against their will.

Lest We Pay the Price Too Dear...Learn From History!
I cross post today an urgent message, gleaned from three very well informed journalists who know their history well. Urgency dictates that I introduce them and furnish you with the links from which to read their messages in entirety.
The first, by Eric Margolis, reminds us of Afghanistan's solid history of making mincemeat out of its invaders, from Alexander the Great in 327–325 BC, to the Soviets in 1989, disasters all.

In the second, Kevin Barrett reveals in OpEdNews's "Obama: Political Messiah, or Just Another Third World Dictator?" the facts behind the most recent resident of our White House and cites Webster Tarpley's work in detail, Tarpley being among the foremost political and historical researchers of our time. Further research has substantiated the fact that indeed, Tarpley's work is almost faultless in terms of his list of players and the historical context in which they exist.
The third of this terrifying trilogy is Christopher Bollyn's work on Obama’s new budget director Peter R. Orszag.
Oddly, Orszag’s background has received virtually no attention in the media. At this critical moment, however, it would be foolish to ignore the troubling background of Obama’s budget director, which deserves to be looked at very carefully. Orszag, for example, could start by explaining exactly what happened to the Icelandic economy. Orszag was, after all, the founder and president of the economic consultancy firm which advised the Central Bank of Iceland - before it went bankrupt. How did Icelandic banks become so indebted? Ask Peter Orszag.Orszag is an economist who served six years in the Clinton administration (1993-8) under Robert E. Rubin, the former treasury secretary who recently resigned from his senior position at the woefully mismanaged and nearly bankrupt Citigroup. The fact that Orszag was a protégé of the now disgraced Rubin certainly does not bode well for the Obama administration.
Rubin strongly opposed the regulation of derivatives when such regulation was proposed in 1997. Credit derivatives of mortgage-backed securities were the key reason for the recent failure of a number of large financial institutions, including AIG and Citigroup.
In 1999, Rubin joined Citigroup as a board member and a participant "in strategic managerial and operational matters of the Company.” The Wall Street Journal noted that Citigroup shareholders suffered losses of more than 70 percent since Rubin joined the firm and that he encouraged changes that led the firm to the brink of collapse. In December 2008, investors filed a lawsuit contending that Citigroup executives, including Rubin, sold shares at inflated prices while concealing the firm’s risks.
It is only by educating ourselves and others that we can hope to right the wrongs perpetrated against our nation by seeking redress under our Constitution, and keeping a watchful eye on not only our elected, selected and perfected officials, but those whom they would seek to appoint. Lest we, as George Santayana warn, be doomed to repeat it, history must be learned applied to us all through learning, sharing and action.
