As I announced in an earlier article I received a six week unemployment extension from the State of Oregon. Now it is looking like it is only going to be a four week extension, as 22,000 people filed and there is not sufficient money for a full six weeks. That is 22,000 people who have not been counted as unemployed for about a year now, thus showing once again that the numbers being put out by the federal government are completely and deliberately false.
We have been giving Pakistan about $4 billion per year for the past ten years. The majority of this money has been pocketed by a few of its highest officials. $40 billion would have easily financed a Tier 5 unemployment extension. But what the hell, we are just lowly American citizens with no claim whatsoever to the wealth being produced by our nation’s natural resources.
The American people, et. al. have been pushed so far out from the realm of consideration that we now only exist to produce wealth for our so called government’s international projects. But then why should they care about the American people as they already have control over us and our country. They spend the money where they are seeking to gain further control over other peoples and their resources around the world.
If we start becoming a nuisance with our bitching and complaining they just throw us some old terrorist bones and we’ll start jumping around and chanting in unison, “USA, USA.”
I know that these so called flash crowds were put together and orchestrated as a part of this staged event, but it still galls me to no end to see U.S. citizens out in the streets acting like third worlders.
Everyone out there does understand that the killing of Bin Laden was yet another blatant violation of our Constitution and international law by Barry Soetoro, perpetrated by him for no other reason than to raise his numbers in the polls. And I do believe there were a few other people who were killed during the great raid also. Can anyone remember when it first happened three whole days ago, it was reported that Bin Laden was killed but no one else was injured as the Seal team snuck in unnoticed?
The lies being put forth on this issue are changing from minute to minute. When I went to bed on Monday night the last thing I saw was a mock-up showing Al Qaida fighters that supposedly fought a gun battle with the Seals that went into the compound. It was also said that Bin Laden opened up with his AK-47.
By midday yesterday, that Al Qaida force had turned into two of his sons and one person who was living there, which would make three as opposed to the combat unit they showed the day before.
By yesterday afternoon, it was being reported that Bin Laden was unarmed again and that he never attempted to use his wife as a human shield.
The only ascertainable fact is that the facts keep changing.
Remember when we were waiting for our great President to speak? They said we had to wait longer because Obama was making sure he had all the facts straight before he addressed the nation, so there would be no discrepancies.
Meanwhile on another channel with Geraldo they were reporting that Obama (they finally straitened it out that it was Bin Laden they were talking about) had been killed a week ago.
And then they screwed up again and said that in seven short hours they had made a positive DNA match, which everyone knows takes a few days at minimum.
Then to cover that up, they said they had made a preliminary DNA match that proved they had killed Bin Laden with 99.9% accuracy. Of course anyone with even the most basic knowledge of DNA testing knows there is no such thing as a preliminary DNA match. You have to sequence the DNA 100% before you can even begin the comparison.
The DNA they supposedly matched Bin Laden’s to, they said came from his half sister. Now that is going to take some comparing, especially figuring in the ever present x-factor, mama’s baby papa’s maybe.
I truly feel for the people who were hurt by 9/11 but I believe that if they want to get those who hurt them, they need to be looking a little closer to home.
Obama’s approval rating supposedly went up 9 points, but you know what? I don’t believe it.
What I do believe is they drug a nine year old corpse out of the freezer on Sunday, blew its face off with a .45 hollow point, and are now trying to use it to frame the Pakistanis in order to get us into a war there which will result in a Chinese intervention, which will result in World War III.
Why? Because it is the only way they can get passed their current conundrum without being arrested and prosecuted. Do you think they wouldn’t start World War III to keep the $26 trillion they stole from us? I say of course they would. We are the ones who will be doing the fighting and dying, while they are making trillions more off of the war.
The people are not buying this, no more than they bought that phony birth certificate. It has come to the point where their lies shine like a new penny. Sorry, international corporate mafia, no sale. Now give us back our $26 trillion and get the hell out while you are still able.
God bless this Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.
WHO KNOWS WHAT TO BELEVE ANYMORE.THEY GAVE 4 BILLION TO PAKISTIN FOR WHAT.BUT NO ONE KNEW WERE BIN LADEN WAS. WE DO KNOW WERE THE 99ERS ARE AND THEY GET NOTTHING.ARE YOU SURE THE PEOPLE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY ARE REALEY AMERICANS.SOME ONE SHOULD CHECK GEROGE BUSH OUT TO.WE ARE IN A BIG MESS.I THING ITS TIME FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.NO ONE ELESE WILL.IN A FRU YEARS CHINA WILL BE NUMBER ONE ON EVERYTHING AND WE LET THIS HAPPEN.ALL AMERICANS WILL BE IN THE SAME HOLE.2012 IS COMEING WHO DO WE VOTE FOR ?WHO IS THE REAL AMERICAN WE CAN PUT IN OFFICE?CHINA IS SITTING BACK AND LAUGHING AT US AND WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME.WAKE UP PEOPLE BEFORE ITS TO LATE.THIS IS NOT A BAD DREAM,THIS IS THE REAL THING.OUR GOVERMENT HAS BEEN A SLEEP FOR MANEY YEARS.ITS TIME TO WAKE THEM UP.

Great article Henry. I totally agree. How many different stories can they tell before Americans open their eyes and use their voices in protest. It’s like the government is playing with us and laughing. When Obama had the speech to poke fun at old Trump everyone was laughing including our so called President. Why wasn’t this speech about our economy and the fact that so many Americans are starving as we speak — because that is not a laughing matter and we have to avoid anything that is not a laughing matter. How ironic that the headlines are filled with something new everyday, anything to push the 99ers issue out of the headlines. And what are we doing? We are having to beg our fellow Americans to unite. I don’t understand all of this political stuff and I thank the writers here at the Trenches for breaking it down so I can understand.
Henry — Sorry you are only getting 4 weeks but I am not surprised. What a slap in the face.
Checked the Oregon website this morning, and it was like a huge disappointment . Looks like I will only get 2 weeks, Im counting only on one now, today I will be looking for support groups, and friends plus family to fight this at the capital, like I said before they think im going to roll over and die, not a chance! I am in the younger youth and I know alot of people that can make some noise in a postive way. People need to understand once your outside the box, CAUTION! there is a slim chance of return and is that why were not moving forward. Its not Rocket Science to see the real numbers, but they refused too so now its time, ITS TIME EVERYONE, stop waiting im not! If I haft to stand out there by myself I will. Its better than sitting in your house rotting and waiting for the jobs to come to your door. I know I might not be the most educated person on this issue but I have never ever let a bully punch me in the mouth and ran home, which is what were doing, not everyone but most. There is alot of educated people who come on this page, WE NEED A VOICE please! someone needs to step in front. I WILL STAND WITH YOU! if it cost me my life sooo be it ! but there needs to be movement. Trust is the only thing we have left with each other, and that is almost extinct. Sooner or later there will be a fight, sooner sounds better than later dosent it. I know Henry would fight with us, but giving his situation it is totally understandable. Thank You Henry for being a inspiration, now its time to take action.
Great comment, Tim. I hear ya loud and clear. brother.
Henry, I am also sorry that you got screwed out of the full six weeks of benefits that you should be receiving, although I can’t say that I’m surprised. The Govt. has been lying about the about true number of people out of work for so long, they probably don’t know the right number. O.K., Let’s say some miracle happens, and they pass Tier 5 ( say, 20 weeks ), and they compute the amount of money they need to fund it, based on these false numbers. Then when Tier 5 passes, and everybody ( millions ) only gets 12 weeks,instead of 20, well, use your imagination. There’s gonna be A LOT of pissed off people. I doubt if the media could ignore that one. Again, Henry, I’m sorry that you didn’t get what was rightfully yours.
Gee, even though I am unemployed and have been for about two years now, I am glad to see that the money which could have supported the 99ers for a few weeks has been used instead to help Pakistan feed their millionaires! Makes me feel really good!
Unless I miss my guess, Joseph Leiberrman will be the next “Independant Ticket” President of these United States. His Vice President will be Hillary Clinton. How can an Independant win? By having the Republicans and Democrats destroy each other. This same “power grab”
has occurred time and time again in the history of the world. Anyone understand????????
Bo Roberson-
All it takes is an honest leader who can lead and not follow. Then things will change. It’s going to take a lot of yelling and screaming by the American people. So far everybody has kept quite, I feel the frustration. Stay tuned.
It will be extremely important to go back to the United States constitution. Something that is no longer taught in school.
Hi Henry,
Just a thought, I was watching an episode of heli-loggers. 25-50k for a tree. Why don’t we get together and cut a few down, we could help a lot of people. Now I see what you mean by other countries stealing our resources. My understanding is that the tree’s are shipped whole to Japan and China-no milling jobs here-WTF?
Help Needed,
Believe it or not a freeman militia man did just that a little ways North of me here. He used common law in claiming the tree and asserted that he had just as much right to take that tree as any timber company and would happily pay the same amount to the Forest Service as the company would have. He was of course convicted of theft of federal timber. I don’t know who that federal guy is but he controlls the courts, so you better leave his timber alone.
Great article as always Henry. It is a shame that they did that to you. They are a bunch of good for nothing liars that do not care about the American people. They make me sick.
Donald Trump for president 2012.
Great leadership we can count on!
1st thing on his agenda is to upgrade and expand the white house ballroom using 200 million dollars of his own savings.
This is what we all been waiting for……..its party time folks!
@Trump Fan aka Gary Busey
Did you forget to take your meds again!
I am so tired of the government talking lingo that some us can’t understand it. We need that you to tell us if you are going to pass HR 589 or not. Is that so hard to do since now you recess in June. We need help now or quit bullshitting us, because we are suffering financially and we need to pay our bills. I have been unemployed for almost 3 years, sending thousands of resume with no response. Obviously because I haven’t worked for that many years and they probably just put my resume at the bottom or e-maling back we will keep your resume on filed. Obama says he is commited to working in a bipartisan way to solve the fiscal challenges before us while continuing to grow the economy and lay a foundation for America to win the future. We need help now ASAP. What part does he not understand there are families losing their homes or have already had them foreclosed. Others are homeless or living in their cars if you can afford it and not repossed. What kind of a President is he if he does not listen to the 99ers and fails to mentionus who have lost our jobs of no fault of our own. Now he wants to run again, I will never vote for him again. Actually we don’t need a President when they don’t do anything for the American’s. But they sure help other countries, Wall Street, the rich give them breaks. Now our gas is so high you can’t even go for an interview, when you have to tell them SORRY I DON’T HAVE ANY GAS IN MY CAR.I HAVE HAD NO INCOME SINCE NOVEMBER. THEN HE SENT TO CONGRESS THE ODACITY TO SAY THEY WERE BUILT AROUND THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS SO WE CAN INVESTIN IN OUR FUTURE. WHAT THE HELL WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY TO EVEN LIVE ON LET ALONG TO INVEST FOR OUR FUTURE, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER. THERE ARE CHILDREN STARVING AND LIVING IN HOMELESS MISSIONS OR MAYBE THEIR FAMILIES, BUT THAT CAN’T LAST LONG. A FAMILY WANTS TO FEEL SAFE AND STRUCTURED WITH FINANCIAL STABILITY. LIKE WHAT WE HAD IN THE PAST BEFORE THE DEM/REP GOT VOTED IN. PLEASE HELP US WE NEED ASAP, HELL WITH THE DEFICIT THE MONEY GETS PRINTED OUT JUST AS FAST TO THE FAT CATS LIKE THE GOVERNMENT. THEY DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I BET YOU IF ANY CONGRESS/REP/SENATE OR OBAMA’S FAMILY WAS IN OUR SHOES THEY SURE WOULD NOT LIKE IT ALL. NOT EATING EVERYDAY AND GOING TO SHELTERS. THIS IS NOT AMERICAN DREAM ANYMORE,THAT WAS LOST ALONG TIME AGO, WE ARE THE POOR NO MORE MIDDLECLASS. OUR PARENTS HAD PENSIONS, STOCK, SAVINGS,VACATIONS, FULL TIME JOBS, ETC. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR CHANCE IN LIFE OR DO WE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENS, GOD HELP OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. THIS GOV, NEEDS TO START WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE ISN’T THAT WHAT OUR CONSTITUTIN SAYS!!
Donald Trump reminds me of a rooster that struts around flairing his comb (hair) and sitting on his high perch…cocka-doodle-doo!
APRIL JOBLESS CLAIMS UP. STOCKS DOWN. GAS AND GROCERY PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF AND STILL NO RELIEF FOR THE 99ERS.

i wrote my Representative in my state and this is what I got in return to my letter on unemployment extensions and jobs….
Thanks very much for getting in touch with me and letting me know what’s on your mind regarding jobs and unemployment.
I know that many Tennesseans are struggling to find work as our state continues to suffer from its highest unemployment rates in a quarter century. That’s why in 2009 I voted for bills that provided extended unemployment benefits to Tennesseans who have lost their jobs for reasons outside their control, giving them more time to find new jobs during this tough economic time. I also backed legislation that extended the COBRA subsidy to 15 months, which gives workers who lose their health benefits the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage for themselves and their families.
In March 2010, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act was signed into law. I voted for the HIRE Act because, without increasing the federal debt, it permits small businesses to deduct capital investments from their taxes, which gives them more money to create jobs; provides tax incentives for small businesses to hire unemployed workers; and provides needed funds for our highways. Since the Senate debated the HIRE Act, I have supported other proposals to extend unemployment benefits without adding to the national debt, but have voted against such proposals that would increase the debt.
Record unemployment rates are hurting, and it is important to get Americans back to work. I will continue to work hard to bring good-paying jobs to Tennessee and to support legislation that encourages economic growth and job creation, while also keeping an eye on our growing national debt that threatens our nation’s future prosperity.
I appreciate your letting me know where you stand, and I’ll be sure to keep your comments in mind as Congress looks at ways to boost the economy and help unemployed Americans return to work.
Sincerely,
Lamar
Another day goes by with no response from our so called president/senate/comgress/rep’. There has not been any response since we have all made an opinion of what the country is really being run. They just still don’t want to make a response at all to our needs. We need help now ASAP. But do they even really care it seems they are to wrapped up in the other issues that are most important the the American people that are suffering from help. I haven’t had any income since Nov. and by the grace of god my family has helped here and there. Now my husband lost his job again, temporary agency. What are we to do with our mortgage, taxes, utilities, gas for our cars to get around when it’s almost $5.00 a gallon. Why do we have to suffer when this was not brought upon us, we are innocent people who have worked all our lives for 30 years or more and this is what our country has brought to us. Totally unfair, we were raised to to believe on the American Dream and our government has let us down bigtime. When are they going to help the legislation pass HR589, they sure can throw money around to Wall Street, banks and other countries for help while our families and children are suffering? They say they been able to bring the economy up, what ship are they riding on surely not ours, because we need help ASAP to pass the legislation that Barbara Lee and Kevin Martin wanting to help the 99er’s. Why can’t our government try to work together to help the poor not a middle class anymore. Bring life back to us not feeling that we have to desperately beg or feek bilittled we want to work for our money that we have worked so hard for. PLEASE HELP PASS HR-589. ITS IMPORTANT TO MILLIONS IN THE UNITED STATEs AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA IN MY LIFE AGAIN. SO GOD BLESS HIM WHEN HITS THE DOOR OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALONG WITH HIS FAMILY WHO HAVE BEEN SPOILED THRU IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
