| Things are ChangingI'm still here! It's been over a year since I've posted, and all I can say is, things are really changing in my life. I don't use Xanga anymore (as you can probably tell).
I created a new website, and you can visit it here:
http://bashawproductions.com
Things are a little rough for my family right now because of the economy, but we're doing OK. I am a Senior this year.
Man, this site is outdated!
So what's up guys?

| 2008I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my life. It's been going good, so far this winter my family hasn't even gotten sick, which is MAJOR for us considering last year. 
Andrew's birthday was on February 16th, and I gave him a Skillet CD (I'm not a fan but he is). Since then my family has caught a little "cabin fever", but only in the past two weeks, and March is almost here! Yay! Spring! I'm looking forward to going to Florida (if we do).
I had a little relapse with my "condition", but I'm OK now.
I don't think Xanga will be around much longer. Why? Well, for one, Facebook is much more organized. As you have probably noted, Xanga is trying this new "Your Xanga Notifications" home which has a News feed much like Facebook and Myspace... but it is so hard to get around the site now! Xanga is trying so hard to get modern, but it's very confusing (at least to me), and ultimately I think they will lose users.
Hope everyone is well.  Leave me a comment or two! (Hey, I actually posted....  )

| North American Union/Ron PaulHello friends!
I was forwarded on this email from a good friend (thanks Austin!) I've copied it here. Truly, in the Republican presidential race, Ron Paul is the only person I would vote for (except maybe for Huckabee.) He always speaks the truth, and is honest with his answers.
Click on the first YouTube link showing Dr.
Paul talking about the planned NAFTA superhighway. The guilt and shame
on the faces of Giuliani, Thompson, and McCain is telling.
Why I Joined the 'Ron Paul Revolution'
by Daniel
Sheehy
January 14, 2008 During
the CNN-YouTube Republican presidential debate on November 28, a man
sarcastically asked candidate Ron Paul if he believes in 'this
conspiracy regarding the Council on Foreign Relations and some plan to
make a North American Union by merging the United States with Canada
and Mexico.'
On
stage with the seven other candidates and in front of a live audience
and national television viewers, Paul smiled and responded: 'The
CFR exists. The Trilateral Commission exists. It's a conspiracy of
ideas. This is an ideological battle. Some people believe in globalism,
others of us believe in national sovereignty. There is a move on toward
a North American Union, just like early on there was a move on for a
European Union and it eventually ended up. So we had NAFTA and are
moving toward a NAFTA highway. These are real things. There was
legislation passed in the Texas legislature unanimously to put a hold
on it. They're planning on taking millions of acres by eminent domain
for an international highway from Mexico to Canada, which is going to
make the immigration problem that much worse.... I don't like this
trend toward international government..... Our national sovereignty is
under threat.'
Even
though Paul was given just 90 seconds to respond, the 10-term U.S.
congressman from Texas did an excellent job answering the question.
Globalists used 'free trade' and open borders to integrate the
countries of Europe and create the European Union, with a single
government and currency. Europeans are increasingly wondering what
happened to their countries and freedoms. The same approach is being
used to erase America's borders, independence, and Constitution to
create a North American Union.
Having
been a guest on numerous radio talk shows, I know how difficult it is
to describe this diabolical scheme in just a minute or two, especially
to Americans who have never heard of the North American Union (NAU) or
believe 'our government would never do such a terrible thing.' However,
when I have time at speaking engagements to connect the dots and show documented proof, audiences understand and become extremely troubled.
Among the pieces of evidence I show audiences is the Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) May 2005 report titled 'Building a North American Community.' (I detailed the report in the June 2006 edition of my book 'Fighting Immigration Anarchy.')
The
CFR report, on page 3, calls for 'the creation by 2010 of a North
American community.... Its boundaries will be defined by a common
external tariff and an outer security perimeter.' A common external
tariff means common taxing for the three countries, and an outer
security perimeter means no more U.S. borders, by the year 2010.
Billionaire
banker-industrialist David Rockefeller, chairman emeritus of the New
York-based CFR, admitted on page 405 of his 2002 autobiography
'Memoirs' that for decades he and his family have been 'conspiring with
others around the world' to sabotage America and create a world
government. Among the many CFR members in the Bush administration are
Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
For
decades, CFR globalist elites from banking, industry, government,
academia, and the corporate media have been working to convert America
into a socialist state, on the path to world government. The CFR has
backed both political parties in every presidential race since the late
1940s. With the exception of Ron Paul, virtually all of this year's
presidential candidates in both parties are approved by the CFR.
If
you watch the entire clip of Paul answering the question about the
North American merger, you will see something interesting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE8FKPH8t0g Standing
to Paul's immediate right are Senator John McCain, Hollywood actor and
former Senator Fred Thompson, and former New York Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani. See how uncomfortable they look and how they avoid looking at
Paul. Why are they acting that way? Because McCain, Thompson, and
Giuliani are open-borders globalists and in on the plot to dissolve
America.
(Virtually
all of the remaining presidential contenders also are open-borders
globalists: Republicans Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, whose foreign
policy advisor is CFR President Richard Haass, and Democrats Hillary
Clinton, John Edwards, Barak Obama, and Dennis Kucinich. Republicans
Tom Tancredo, who dropped out in December, and Duncan Hunter are strong
on U.S. border security. However, their zealous support for the now
5-year-old Iraq war expressed during the debates and votes supporting
massive expansions of executive authority and domestic police powers
cost them my support.)
Returning
to the clip, McCain is a member of the CFR and was one of the 12
senators behind the treacherous Bush-Kennedy guestworker amnesty bill
that Americans defeated in June 2007. McCain, Bush, Kennedy, and many
others in Washington have kept our borders open, pushing amnesty for
illegal aliens to quickly merge our nation into a North American Union.
Why did Congress quietly gut the border fence just before Christmas
2007? These bureaucrats sabotaged the fence for the same reason: to
destroy our sovereignty and create the NAU. (See my exposé 'Why did Tancredo and Gilchrist Endorse Globalists for President?')
Fred
Thompson also is a CFR member. He is best known for playing a lawyer on
the television series Law & Order. A former high-priced Washington
lobbyist, Senator Thompson voted to expand the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to expand the NAU.
The
first President Bush introduced NAFTA during his term (1988-1992). At
that time, Bush publicly stated his goal for a 'New World Order,' a
phrase used for generations by individuals seeking to control the world
through tyranny via a deceptive, gradual process. President Clinton,
another New World Order player, as ispresidential candidate Hillary
Clinton, signed NAFTA in 1993, joining the U.S. with the governments of
Canada and Mexico in a developing economic and political union.
Incredibly,
John McCain says that NAFTA 'was a good idea. It's created millions of
jobs and helped the economies of all three nations.' He makes this
absurd comment in a short November 2007 video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86QwI-6TWic .
If
NAFTA was such 'a good idea,' why have millions of Mexicans left their
country for America. Why have millions of Americans lost jobs? Why have
wages steadily declined in the U.S.?
On Ron Paul's campaign website, www.ronpaul2008.com,
the congressman says so-called 'free-trade' deals such as NAFTA 'are a
threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our
government to unelected foreign elites.... I believe in being friends
and I like as much free travel as possible and I like free trade, but I
don’t like more government management because it essentially protects
big industry.'
As
for Rudy Giuliani, his law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, represents
Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., the Spanish
investment group working with Zachry Construction Company on the
Trans-Texas Corridor project, the first leg of the NAFTA Superhighway
system. That's why Giuliani looked so uneasy onstage when Paul was
talking about the superhighway, which is so key to the North American
merger. The government will use the Supreme Court's June 2005 eminent
domain ruling to seize millions of acres of land from Americans to
build these international, borderless routes. The roads will allow in
more illegal aliens, terrorists, and criminals, ruin our economy, and
replace American law with 'trade' law.
Giuliani's
senior foreign policy advisor is CFR member Norman Podhoretz, who
promotes perpetual war and is described by the New York Timesas 'one of
the founding fathers of neoconservatism.' In his new book 'World War
IV,' Podhoretz proudly declares that the Iraq war will spread to Iran
and other countries in the Middle East and 'will almost certainly go on
for three or four decades.' That's 30 to 40 years! What do you think
about that?
Ron
Paul says the war in Iraq 'was sold to us with false information' and
'the area is more dangerous now than when we entered it.... We can
continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or
we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war
should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the
Congress, as required by the Constitution.' (www.RonPaul2008.com)
Podhoretz
and others in the CFR-neocon cabal believe in global socialism, endless
war, and destroying national sovereignty, which is why they have opened
U.S. borders to a flood of millions of illegal aliens. The elites are
using illegals to help destroy America's middle class and merge the
U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
At
the same time, the CFR-controlled mainstream corporate media monopoly
scares Americans 24 hours a day, babbling about the so-called 'war on
terror.' This phony 'war' is an excuse for gradually establishing
tighter government controls over every part of our daily lives through
congressional and local police-state bills and Bush administration
Executive Orders.
A
month after Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Nazi Germany in 1933, the
Reichstag parliament building was set on fire. Hitler then quickly
suspended civil liberties. Some believe the Nazis set the fire to give
Hitler an excuse for his crackdown. Whether or not that is true, the
fact remains that civil liberties were suspended. German soldiers then
ordered citizens to 'Show me your papers!'
Such
orders are coming to America through the REAL ID-compliant driver's
license scheme, thanks again to Congress and the so-called Department
of Homeland Security. Mandatory biometric ID cards will carry all sorts
of personal data. Federal and state bureaucrats tell us the de facto
national ID cards will 'fight crime and prevent terrorism.' Yet these
same public servants refuse to secure our borders and enforce existing
immigration laws.
I
know only too well how our liberties and privacy are being eroded by
unelected enforcers. During a five-day period, I was interrogated by
FBI and Secret Service agents while researching and writing my book on
immigration anarchy. I was not charged with a crime or arrested, but
FBI agents held me against my will and wouldn't let me call a lawyer,
thanks to the so-called 'Patriot Act.' I wrote about the experience in my book's epilogue, titled 'My Vacation with the FBI.'
Ron
Paul has fought for civil liberties for many years. 'We must stop the
move toward a national ID card system,' he says on his campaign
website. 'I sponsored a bill to overturn the Patriot Act and have won
some victories, but today the threat to your liberty and privacy is
very real. We need leadership at the top that will prevent Washington
from centralizing power and private data about our lives.'
And
please don't tell me Bush 'has kept us safe' and the 'war on terror' is
real. Since 9/11, more than six years ago, the administration and
Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) have allowed millions of
foreigners, including hundreds of thousands of known felons, dangerous
criminals, and untold thousands of potential terrorists, to invade our
nation and live among us, with impunity.
As
I wrote in my book, T. J. Bonner, president of the National Border
Patrol Council, representing U.S. border agents, told a national
conference of immigration experts in December 2004 that 10,000 illegal
aliens cross our southern border every day and only about 3,000 are
apprehended.
In
October 2006, a congressional report titled 'A Line in the Sand' stated
that 'as many as 4 million to 10 million illegal aliens crossed into
the United States' from Mexico just in 2005. Based on that report,
apparently thousands were from 'countries that could export individuals
that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism.' The
report received virtually no coverage from the CFR-run mass media. I
was one of the first to report the mind-blowing numbers in this article.
What
legitimate government would let this happen to its own people and
country, while repeatedly telling Americans through the 'mainstream
media' and phony talk-show hosts that we are in a 'war on terror'? The
answer can only be: A thoroughly corrupt government creating chaos and
intent upon ending American sovereignty. The people running our
government are not Americans. They are internationalists and only
interested in greed, power, and control. In my opinion, many are
psychopaths.
Returning
briefly to the CNN-YouTube Republican presidential debate on November
28, I have wondered why candidates Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter,
onstage with Ron Paul, did not speak up and join Paul to oppose the
NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union.
Paul,
Tancredo, and Walter Jones were the first congressmen to co-sponsor
Representative Virgil Goode's September 2006 bill demanding that
Congress and the president prohibit construction of the superhighway or
enter into a North American Union. (Read my news release.)
Hunter became a co-sponsor of the bill in 2007. By the end of 2007,
more than 40 congressmen had signed on, yet the 'mainstream media' and
many talk-show personalities still call the North American Union and
superhighway a 'conspiracy theory.'
Here's what Ron Paul says on his campaign website about the North American Union: 'NAFTA’s
superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between
the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of
powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada,
the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system.
Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme. And a free
America, with limited, constitutional government, would be gone
forever.' It
cannot be stated any clearer than that. No matter how one feels about
any other issue, if this merger through so-called 'free-trade'
agreements and open borders is not stopped, America, our Constitution
and Bill of Rights, and our freedoms will be gone forever. Tens of
millions of foreign nationals — including vicious criminals,
terrorists, jobs thieves, future welfare recipients, and expectant
mothers eager to deliver anchor babies — will destroy our America, and
all we hold dear.
As
for border security and immigration reform, Paul says on his website
that as president he would oppose amnesty, physically secure U.S.
borders and coastlines, end birthright citizenship, end welfare for
illegal aliens, enforce visa rules, and restore the rule of law.
Those
actions would have a monumental impact on the immigration crisis and
the North American Union. I believe Paul's promise to America.
Throughout his 10-term service in the U.S. House of Representatives,
Paul has never voted for a bill unless the proposed measure is
expressly authorized by the U.S. Constitution, setting him apart from
all other congressmen, senators, and presidents in recent decades. In
other words, this is an American who actually takes his oath to the
Constitution seriously. That proves to me that Paul is honest.
Paul
should take even more steps to end illegal immigration, especially in
regards to workplace enforcement. He should publicly state that he will
enforce laws against the hiring of illegal aliens.
Also,
Paul should acknowledge problems due to unprecedented high numbers of
legal immigrants. Legal immigration is out of control, thanks once
again to Congress, as approximately 1.3 million legal immigrants come
to the U.S. every year, compared with America's traditional level of
about 250,000 a year. Paul should oppose chain migration, which
generates an endless supply of uneducated, unskilled, high-fertility
new immigrants to the U.S. National immigration expert Roy Beck,
executive vice president of NumbersUSA, says this about chain migration: 'Ending
chain migration is the single most effective action for reducing
negative immigration impacts. Chain migration breeds all kinds of
illegal immigration among extended family who feel they have an
entitlement to immigrate and don't wait their turn. Chain migration
multiplies the harm of every immigration action by allowing each new
immigrant and refugee to eventually import huge extended families and
eventually whole villages.'
But
remember this extremely important point: There would not be an
illegal-alien invasion if the Council on Foreign Relations were not
working through the White House and Congress to merge Mexico, Canada,
and the U.S. into a social, economic, and political union. If the North
American Union is not stopped, America will disappear forever.
Finally,
have you noticed that the U.S. financial system is collapsing? This is
because the U.S. has had a pure fiat ('on faith') money system since
the early 1970s, when the Nixon administration took us off the gold
standard, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. The gold standard
stood in the way of big government spending on welfare programs, wars,
and empire.
The
Federal Reserve, a private bank run by global bankers, prints dollars
backed by nothing. Congress spends, and spends, and spends those
dollars. The Fed prints more of this paper, with nothing to support its
value, and the dollar continues to collapse. Talking heads now report
that the U.S. is more than $9 trillion in debt. The day of reckoning is
coming and it isn't going to be pretty.
Ron
Paul wants to abolish the Federal Reserve. He also wants to eliminate
the income tax and replace it with reduced spending. (See Aaron Russo's
DVD, 'Freedom to Fascism,' for more information: http://www.freedomtofascism.com/). --< excellent film. can be watched at www.video.google.com
>
'We need a new method to prioritize our spending,' says Paul. 'It's called the Constitution of the United States.'
After
spending years studying and writing about the takeover of America, and
the CFR's plans to destroy our beloved nation, I believe presidential
candidate Ron Paul's plan to restore the Constitution and Bill of
Rights offers the only viable plan to save America.
I strongly endorse Ron Paul for President!

| Heeeeelllooooo everybody!
Hope you had a great Christmas. I sure did, but I really can't believe it is 2008! Ahhhh....
Anyway, several of my friends have uploaded their digital camera videos to Xanga and published them to their blog. I was interested in trying that out, so... I did! :P Here's a short video Andrew and I filmed last summer. It's a reenactment of a scene from Pirates 2. Worthless, but oh well.
Enjoy the rest of your break! | | |
| Explaining the absence of which I have taken....I'm not blogging anymore on Xanga, because a lot of my friends quit Xanga (Anna, Chessa, Charis...), or don't post anymore, so very few people actually read my entries. I don't blog on Myspace either, but I have an account there, as well as
Facebook. Also, I have YIM, AIM, and MSN chatting IDs, am on several
message boards, have my own email, etc etc, so we'll stay in touch. But to all my friends that still DO post, kudos to you! I'm not deleting my site, because I enjoy reading and commenting on all of your posts. So please, keep on posting. 
A quick update though: everything's going OK here, I turned 17 last Sunday, so now I'm officially old.  My condition is still present, but I'm working through it.
Take care guys! I'll still post an update every once in a while.
