Another Tax Scam: IRS Imposters
From the article:
Here’s what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay taxes you owe right now. You’re told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you’ll lose your driver’s license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.
But it’s all a lie. If you send the money, it’s gone.
I don’t know about you, but I screen my calls. The phone actually announces who is calling. If I don’t recognize who is calling, I just don’t answer. Period.
If you do get such a call report it.
In the original article (bottom link) there is information on where and how to report it.

14 Best Cities to See Cherry Blossoms Outside of Japan
From the site:
When we say “cherry blossoms”, we think about Japan in an instant. It’ll be lovely to take part in the cherry blossom viewing in Japan, also known as ‘Hanami’. But isn’t there a place nearer to home than Japan? Absolutely, there is. Of course the real hanami, having a picnic party under the shade of fully-bloomed cherry blossom trees, is totally different compared to other places, but if chances to visit Japan are slim this year, here’s a list of towns that can be perfect substitutes to visit without breaking the bank or flying miles away.

Elevators in One World Trade Center Feature a Virtual Journey Through 500 Years of NYC’s Skyline
From the site:
One surprising thing glimpsed on the way up: the old World Trade Center Towers destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Rather than ignore history, or glorify it, the towers have been included for the length of time they existed – in this speedy timeline, that spans about 4 seconds.

KKK Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party
To be honest, I came across this recently. I haven’t read everything on this particular site.
From the site:
History shows that the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party. This ugly fact about the Democrat Party is detailed in the book, A Short History of Reconstruction, (Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., 1990) by Dr. Eric Foner, the renown liberal historian who is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University. As a further testament to his impeccable credentials, Professor Foner is only the second person to serve as president of the three major professional organizations: the Organization of American Historians, American Historical Association, and Society of American Historians.

The Roosevelt Gold “Confiscation” of 1933
From the article:
Using the rationale that hoarding of gold was hurting the depression economy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102 prohibiting private ownership of gold. Signed in April, it required citizens to redeem their gold coinage at banks by May 1, where they would receive paper currency in exchange. A $20 double-eagle gold coin would fetch a $20 Federal Reserve Note. (This was because gold was trading at $20.67 per Troy ounce, and a double-eagle contained .9675 Troy ounces of gold.)
The penalty for not redeeming gold coins was severe – 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

Shocking New IMF Report: The U.S. Dollar Needs To Be Replaced As The World Reserve Currency And SDRs “Could Constitute An Embryo Of Global Currency”
From the article:
(February 2011)
The IMF is trying to move the world away from the U.S. dollar and towards a global currency once again. In a new report entitled “Enhancing International Monetary Stability—A Role for the SDR“, the IMF details the “problems” with having the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the globe and the IMF discusses the potential for a larger role for SDRs (Special Drawing Rights). But the IMF certainly does not view SDRs as the “final solution” to global currency problems. Rather, the IMF considers SDRs to be a transitional phase between what we have now and a new world currency.
Revelation 13:
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may “buy or sell” except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Bill Whittle: Obama’s Black Skin Privilege
I’ve always wondered why people seemed to let Obama slide on all the things he was doing. From executive order to executive order. It seems to me that he goes over everyone’s head and no one calls him on it. Sure they make noise but nothing happens.
Maybe it’s the Joe Biden thing? If Obama were impeached there would be Uncle Joe to contend with. That must be scarier than Obama remaining at the helm?
Then again…President Nobel Peace Prize does have a kill list and drone’s at his command. Are people afraid of him? More importantly do they have reason to be? He did come from relative obscurity…..
Or, is everyone on board with him? Something’s not right with this picture.

We Gather Together
Psalm 100: 4-5
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
1 Chronicles 16:8 8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
- We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own. - Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
