QUESTION: I have been hearing a lot about house bill HR2990 also Senate bill SR759 could you explain what this is supposed to do to our economy
thank you
S
ANSWER: That was simply a bill to remove Social Security numbers as the identifying number for Medicare. The purpose of that was to prevent identity theft. When people used their SS# for healthcare, someone could take that number and apply for credit under a false identity. I do not see it as having any real change on the economy.

Today we observe Good Friday, the day of the death of Jesus. Many Christian Churches have different ways of observation, to prepare us for the coming resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday. Today, the sacrifices we have made during Lent culminate in our internalization of the great offering of Christ’s life. If we have been diligent in our Lenten preparations, Good Friday hits us with a power and force that brings us, literally and figuratively, to our knees with the grasp of what Jesus poured out for us. It becomes personal, a tiny sliver of the cross is buried in our heart. And so each year, we find that we give ourselves over to Christ just a little more through this time of penance and reflection.
It is our wish here in the Tree that you all, so dear to us, and to each other, have a blessed and holy weekend, this most holy time of the year. May the lamb’s Good Friday sacrifice lead you to the joy we rightfully claim on Easter Sunday. This post mentions some things from my Catholic “language” or viewpoint, if you will. I would love to have you share some of the traditions and customs from your church or family with us. Are there special observations and services at your church this weekend?
The Easter Triduum, the marking of the days of Jesus’ passion and resurrection, the most important time of the church year, begins with the evening Mass of Holy Thursday, reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, and closes on Easter Sunday evening. After preparing during the days of Lent, we celebrate these holiest of days in the Church year.
From John, Chapter 19:
Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders told him, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar’s. Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.
At these words Pilate brought Jesus out to them again and sat down at the judgement bench on the stone paved platform. It was now about noon of the day before Passover.
And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no King but Caesar,” the chief priests shouted back.
So they had him at last, and he was taken out of the city, carrying his cross to the place known as “The Skull,” in Hebrew, “Golgotha.” There they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. And Pilate posted a sign over him reading “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the signboard was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people read it.
Then the chief priests said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’ ”
Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written. It stays exactly as it is.”
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they put his garments into four piles, one for each of them. But they said, “Let’s not tear up his robe,” for it was seamless. “Lets throw dice to see who gets it.” This fulfilled the scripture that says, “They divided my clothes among them, and cast lots for my robe.” So that is what they did.
Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, Mary, his aunt, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside me, his close friend, he said to her, “He is your son.”
And to me he said, “She is your mother.” And from then on, I took her into my home.
Jesus knew that everything was now finished, and to fulfill the scriptures said, “I’m thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so a sponge was soaked in it and put on a hyssop branch and help up to his lips.
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished,” and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit.
Today we would like to invite you to share with us your reflections, your thoughts, your favorite readings on Good Friday. We sincerely hope that you will join in this conversation as a sharing of our common faith, an active searching, united in asking in this small way for God’s blessing upon His world this Easter Triduum. So many of us see change as something that is all or nothing. We postpone the changes we need to make in our lives to improve our relationship with God because we aren’t mentally “ready” to make that leap. In reality, our path to God is made in tiny steps, small differences, the little things that take us one step closer in faith.
We ask you to join us, help us, take that step. Together and seperately, may we aid each other through our words and prayers, to make this Good Friday an opening for the light that is Christ to penetrate our darkness.
I would also like to share a paragraph from The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
In Her Magisterial teaching of the faith and in the witness of her saints, the Church has never forgotten that “sinners were the authors and the ministers of all the sufferings the Divine Redeemer endured.” Taking into account the fact that our sins affect Christ himself, the Church does not hesitate to impute to Christians the gravest responsibility for the torment inflicted upon Jesus, a responsiblity with which they have all too often burdened the Jews alone.
Unnoticed with the focus on the Mueller Report we find there are strange events happening
Over the past almost 3 years, Donald Trump has been under some kind of surveillance, spying and investigation to either first stop him from becoming the 45th President of the United States or to remove him from office after he won the 2016 election. There was the initial coup d’état (Crossfire Hurricane) conducted by the Obama administration in 2017 through the FBI that found nothing, then there were two investigations by the Republican Congress that found nothing from 2017 to 2018, and lastly the Mueller investigation a second coup d’état by the deep state that just finished. However, that process has not ended with the release of the Mueller investigation that also found nothing.
The Democrat control House will not accept the Report that was released by AG Barr at 11:00 AM April 18, 2019 and they will continue their efforts to find something that that can use to try and impeach him a third coup d’état. Also the mainstream media will not support the concussions from The Mueller report and so the process to get rid of President Trump will continue until Tuesday November 3, 2020; and if President Trump is elected to a second term that process against him will continue until he leaves office on Monday January 20, 2025.
Now that being said there is something else going on that very few are talking about, with the possible except of Martin Armstrong. So I will explain a couple of events that he has posted on his blog that got my attention. There are five interesting bits of information in them.
One, from the New York Times January 17, 2017 Times President Obama on Tuesday commuted all but four months of the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the Army intelligence analyst convicted of a 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted Mr. Obama’s administration and brought global prominence to WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures.
Two, from Armstrong on Friday March 8, 2019, “US district judge Claude M. Hilton threw Chelsea Manning into solitary confinement, which is TORTURE, for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks. Chelsea Manning was thrown into a dark cell of solitary confinement where they can make the conditions so hot that wearing even underwear is too much, or so cold that you can see your breath. Judges always rule in their own self-interest of power that this is not torture like waterboarding. Of course, there are some judges who retain their humanity. Unfortunately, they are the minority.” The treatment of Ms Manning is similar to what was done to Manafort by the Muller investigation, and is used today to “break” a person, few can stand up to what is unconstitutionally done to them in the process.
Three, from Armstrong “The evidence of political pressure on Ecuador is surfacing. The IMF Executive Board Approved US$4.2 Billion (435% of quota and SDR 3.035 billion) Extended Fund Facility for Ecuador. The Executive Board agreed to this arrangement with strings attached. The Board’s decision enables the immediate disbursement of US$652 million (equivalent to SDR 469.7 million, or 67.3 percent of Ecuador’s quota). This arrangement provides support for the Ecuadorean government’s economic policies over the next three years, provided they gave up Julian Assange.” This was a very unusual action by the United States (deep State) to take.
Four, From Armstrong “Julian Assange has been arrested by British police. The USA will no doubt want to put him on trial for ensuring Hillary lost the White House. The British police say they were invited in the Ecuadorian embassy where he has been holed up since 2012 after the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum. You can bet that there have been threats against Ecuador, and rumor has it that the threats were rising to the level of blocking them from the Swift system. The rumblings behind the curtain are that the Democrats are behind this, hoping to force him to say he got Hillary’s emails from Putin. The danger of all of this nonsense and is simply the plain fact it will bring us one more step closer to world war.”
Five, “from Armstrong “Right now, just look at the government throwing Chelsea Manning in prison on contempt indefinitely, the $4.2 billion handed to Ecuador for Assange by the IMF, and then his immediate indictment and move for extradition. This is all a coordinated attack to launch against Trump for the 2020 election after the Mueller Report failed. There are NO COINCIDENCES when it comes to political maneuvers. You are watching history in the making. The Deep State is determined to get rid of Trump. They desperately want one of their own in power — a team player.
I looked at the indictment for Julian Assange which is freely available and am shocked that in the paragraph numbered 9, it specifically calls a ‘Linux Operating System’ a SPECIAL SOFTWARE for accessing part of a password.
I have always felt a certain amount of skepticism regarding the whole Assange affair and this seems to me to be the seeds of outlawing Linux users like myself. I would not be able to find my own password using a Linux CD.
The WikiLeaks founder has a real live political prosecution claim against the extradition process on claimed computer hacking. The USA indictment unsealed immediately after Julian Assange was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London by British police shows that this is also a coordinated effort to keep Chelsea Manning in prison again to compel her to ultimately testify against Assange. Manning was charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy, which was the most serious charge and could have resulted in a death sentence. She was ultimately sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Anyone who thinks Assange will only face 5 years should just go work for the government for you obviously believe in propaganda. They will expand Assange’s charges only when he gets to the USA for otherwise the US must put on its case in London to get their hands on him. They will allege that he aided the enemy meaning Putin, to defeat Hillary and seek the death penalty. Their thirst for his blood stems from his publishing the Democrat’s emails that they regard cost them the election.”
It is time that “We the People” demand reform in the Judicial System. Enough is enough. Former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been thrown into Solitary Confinement to break her no different than any third world country would do to torture a person. Just because judges claim to have this self-anointed power, does not make it comport with the Constitution or basic human rights. I am asking that EVERYONE reading this send it to EVERY politician in EVERY country to put political pressure on the United States both from within and internationally. This practice of contempt is a disgrace and it proves that the United States has ABSOLUTELY no basis to criticize any country for violating human rights when our own judges do not respect such principles.”
This ends Armstrong’s writing. I think Martin is right however I would add Roger Stone to the mix. He is also awaiting trial right now and Between Sone, Manning and Assange they will be able to break one or more of them and I would guess with that they will also try to bring Trump Junior in on it . This will be kept very close to the vest until they are ready to spring it.
What I would do, if I were them, I would use Adam Schiff (the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee) and Jerry Nadler (the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee) to start investigation into collusion and obstruction again a fifth coup d’état, and since they have already started that process they have no reason to stop. Timing is everything so keep the media active with leaks and then sometime next year, a year from now, while that investigation is still going on the FBI Southern district of New Your City will charge Stone, Manning, Assange, and Trump Jr. (I can’t believe he is testifying again) with treason and maybe even President Trump. And if they can drag anyone else in they will do it.
This investigation will be based on the “Trump Tower Meeting.” Manning will testify that Assage helped him break the password to the military system, and then they will be charged with treason. Then, Assange, will testify the Trump Junior and Roger Stone were in Communications with him. Trump Junior will be found to have lied to congress about talking to Assage based on Assages claims. Manning and Assage will have the death penalty hanging over them and that will probably break them into giving the government what they want. The best out would be for Trump to agree to resign or his son will go to prison; however they may not give him that opinion as they do need to make an example of him. The worst case would be they bring Trump in and change him with treason as well.
They think the shock of that will guarantee that the Democrat will win the election no matter who they run!
However, they could also start a Civil War; which social theory as in the Book the Fourth Turning say we are almost guaranteed to experience.
It may seem hopeless, but Stephen Green, Bill Whittle and Scott Ott dream of a better life, without the Internal Revenue Service. Imagine there’s no IRS? It would go a long way toward restoring the Constitution in the wake of the devastating 16th Amendment. How then would we pay for all of those reliable and desirable government services?
On tour promoting her new book, Michelle Obama told a British audience that America is going through a “dark” time under President Trump, and the current “fun” will lead to sickness later after a weekend with “divorced Dad.” Bill Whittle remembers another father who was all sickness and no fun.

Often interpreted as an injunction against homosexuality (particularly by those simultaneously claiming identity as Christians and opposed to that orientation), the stories of the angels who visit Abraham, bless him, and then rain destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah are more truly a warning against mistreatment of the stranger and impulsive, dysregulated, sybaritic conduct. Abraham opens his heart and hearth to the stranger. The denizens of Lot’s soon-to-be lost cities threaten them with violent rape. God exacts a terrible retribution. The warning is clear.
