While discussing the Healthcare bill….Check your back pocket!

Now I’m not suggesting that we should stop paying attention to all that is going on with the healthcare bill. This is certainly a matter that deserves our attention because it will indeed affect all of us on many levels.

However, I think it’s important to remind everyone that while we are have our attention successfully directed at the current issue in fad, other events that are equally important to our liberty slip by unnoticed.

Every news talk show I tuned into today was just about completely monopolized by discussion of the healthcare bill - and even more specifically, Former President Carters’ remarks regarding Senator Wilson’s outburst.

Hmmm… this is really worth the entire focus of our media huh? Whether the nation is opposing the healthcare bill because the president is black? Whaaaaat? Why is this even an issue folks? Are we serious?

If we are going to discuss the bill, lets discuss the BILL and not whether those who oppose it are doing so because they are nasty racists. (come on people!). But even so, lets not forget that while we are looking over here, there is still alot going on that deserves our attention.

Always pay attention to the man behind the curtain folks.

While we watch the news media collect ratings over the en vogue topic, all sorts of valuables are being slipped out unnoticed, from your back pocket.

Here’s a glimpse:

• President Obama extended provisions for the Patriot Act.   Fairly important and deserving of our attention.
• Charlie Sheen extended an invitation to the President to discuss some questions regarding one of the most significant event in our nations history.  Surely worthy of attention considering that New York is inches from completing a petition initiative where NY citizens will vote on whether or not to re-open an official investigation into the events of 9/11.   Oh, you didn’t know?  Well, this is very real folks, so pay attention.
• Our government is creating laws in preparation for a manufactured pandemic, that will almost completely strip you of your rights in the name of “health care”.  You didn’t think it was a coincidence that Swine Flu is expected to arrive full-throttle in the fall?
• Obama sends more troops to Iraq (yup)
• FEMA is building “camps” to house potential troublemakers in preperatoin for an expected food panic

So why exactly did I not hear about any of this on Hannity or NPR?   Because it’s all the same nonesense.  In order to see clearly we are going to have to leave the party box and pay attention to the entire view on the horizon.

Again, this is surely an important issue.  All I’m saying here folks is this - pay attention and keep your hands on your back pockets.  Quite often, as our attention is diverted, that is when matters of crucial importance mutate and end up blindsiding us later on.
