Sarah Silverman's poke at the Vatican was funny but what religion are the bankers Belzer and West were referring to earlier?

Has anyone considered the coincidence that there were 3 terrorist arrests, all very similiar in the same week, and that the FBI was involved in creating the situation in all cases. Yes, the invidivuals arrested, once given weapons by the FBI, were willing to take the next step, but what if the FBI had not got involved, == was there a threat. Would they have done anything without the FBI's help. Perhaps we are creating situations to make it look as though our law enforcement is doing a good job, when really they are creating situations that they can resolve to make it look that way. Maybe the FBI is creating situations that would not otherwise exist. Think about it. 3 in one week? I don't feel any safer. I think the FBI is only partly on our side. I am not at all convinced that these guys were truly dedicated to making terrorist attacks. I think the FBI might have talked them into it. The FBI is dengerous too.

World Banks are to Blame? The Fed is to blame, when Wilson needed campagin support, the Fed back him up, in return the Federal Reserve Act was pushed threw Congress.
Bill is this the biggest economic mistake we have made in United States History?
Or will the implementation of the Amerio (US, Canada, Mexico) currencey me the next biggest?

I should probably rage since I've been lobbying this question for the past 3 weeks and this one gets picked.
But I guess it's nice to give them to people

I wonder, Bill, if you have heard about this "Thrill The World 2009" event that is taking place on October 25th, 2009 as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Apparently people all over the world are hard at work practicing their Thriller choreography weekly to ensure synchronicity throughout our continents precisely at 12:30 am UTC/GMT (see www.thrilltheworld.com). And, there are 329 events scheduled around the world, with 270,000 (and counting) registered participants--as far reaching as my small northern California community of Chico, California (yes, there is land north of Sacramento...contrary to popular belief, Sacramento does not lie on the Oregon border).
My question is: if there are Americans that are committed enough to practice a dance routine weekly to pay tribute to a dead musician, WHY are we not committed to getting in the streets and choreographing the DEMAND for universal (or at the very least affordable and fair) healthcare? I mean really, is this not the epitomy of our priorities? Don't get me wrong, the King of Pop lives on in my iPod, but I am not going to waste my precious time (and sweat) trying to get my footwork right so I don't step on some other zombie's foot. I mean, what happens if I trip and break my leg? I wouldn't be able to afford the hospital bills...ironic, isn't it? Now, some zombie in, say, France or Canada, won't have a care, now will s/he?
Will you please address this on your show? I don't think any other news agency will have the balls to do so, and you, my friend Bill, have them.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Morrow

Please Bill, stop listening to your writers' perverted logic that health care industry feeds on people being sick. People get sick not because there is a health care but there's health care because they get sick. The pharma and the doctors do not create 'the demand'. They eliminate the demand, that is cure the sick, not permeate sickness... Unless you found a good reason not to pay your doctor for treating you. Then I'll be interested to hear you out.
I am with you and against M. Moore on capitalism and greed. M.M. is a bad theoretician. His confusion comes from his religious liberalism that prejudges neutral human traits as sins. Christian-socialist ideology is a well-established trend in history. There's nothing wrong with wanting more than you have or to be wealthy beyond dreams. Where people stumble is how they get there.
Similarly with his envy of the super-rich that is so apparent. It's not that I envy Buffet it's that I want to take his wealth away, what's problematic.

Dear Mr. Bill Maher,
Today after coming home from a very nice weekend my girlfriend and I got home to find several medical bills totaling up to an estimated 62,000 dollars. It was quite nice to even find out that the insurance company is not covering one measly cent of it. I broke to my knees crying because i felt that i was honestly ashamed to be alive because we can't even afford our own health. The bills were for a knee surgery that she had to have. Once the surgery was over the Doctor said she was going to have to be out of work till November. When we got back today, her job sent an letter along with the other mountain of letters threatening her that she will lose her job if she doesn't come back to work. I am not writing this for charity or sympathy, but i am writing this to ask you....When will the greed stop? All i have to tell you is this little tiny fact i found out just now by looking it up. In a listing i found online, The United States has 359 billionaires, we were number one on the list. The country in second was Germany with 54. Why does it seem like there is no money in the US but 359 single people have so much of it....Don't you think that instead of the government telling us to stimulate the economy, why don't they? It seems like they have enough to do it. It is on days like this i really miss George Carlin, i could use some of his knowledge right about now.
Thank you for reading this if you do,
It is much appreciated.
FreedomMike42
PS: I am not 42 years old either I am only 24 and i know i am not the only one at my age that feels this same way. Thank you again.

why dont u guys have glenn beck or bill o reilly on the show, i think that would be interesting. but definitely never have sean hannity on, because he will just talk over everyone and tell everyone that they are wrong and he's right, even when he is wrong he still pushes his bullshit agenda.
sean hannity sucks.
but bill oreilly or glenn beck would be an excellent choice, and your ratings might go up

For those who might not realize it, THERE WERE 5-ORIGINAL WRITINGS OF THE DOCUMENTS OF EACH OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT...."Only One-Set, has the Montague Seal, on Them", the others were written to Camoflauge the Situation, so that the people of America, didn't realize what was happening.
This type of Sealing of the Documents of the U.S. Government, took place so that "No One Could Ever Do Away with the Constutional Laws, the Supreme Laws for the People of America"...for the Montague Seal is a Seal of Royalty / Kingship of European Countries (& my family seal, as well as that of George Washington / Dolley Payne-Paine-Todd-Madison...& many other individuals of America who descend from the Montague Family Ancestory).
THERE CAN BE NO GLOBAL CURRENCY, at least one which the U.S.A., can be a participant.
Here is the Reason Why:
On the U.S. Currency is the Montague (Family) Seal of Royalty / Kingly Bloodlineage of European Countries, which also Dates Back to & Before, the 12-Tribes of
Isreal...and also on the U.S. Currency is the Emblem of
the Freemasonry...& THE WORDS OF: "IN GOD WE TRUST".....which is Sealed to "Stay Intact for Succeeding Generations"...forever & ever...as long as there are Heirs to the Military Service of America....and there is the U.S. Constitutional Type of Government.
(IF THE DOCUMENTS OF U.S. GOVERNMENT...the One-Set, with the Montague Seal, upon them...is Not in the Archives of the White House...then...perhaps France has them...as Security...to back up their Peace Agreement, of the Treaty of Paris 1783, which preceded the Declaration of Independence !!, for the Preamble to the Constution & the U.S. Constitution, itself to be Established along with the Bill of Rights, which cannot ever be Legally Dissolved...since there are Millions of Americans who are Heirs / Heiress's to
the Founding of the Government of the United States of America.
"WE THE PEOPLE" ARE THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...
if we do Not Stand Up...United for the Same Common
Cause, then Who Can We Be Dependent Upon, to be There to Help Us...??
It is Apparent that Many of the Current Leaders of Government "Never Bothered to Study Enough About the Military History of America" to Realize just how much Our Military Soldiers / Military Connected Families, are So Valuable to the Sustaining of the Freedoms and Individual Equal Rights in the U.S.A. !!
By the way, the Pledge of Allegiance - Prayer, was written by a Military Chaplain - Baptist Minister - Member of the Freemasonry....Inside the "Order" of the Freemasonry...Military Rank-Military Orders...and
submitted to the Public School System.
In Reality, IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, TO DENY THE VOICING OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE OF THE FLAG-PRAYER....AT ANY LOCATION...IN WHICH A MILITARY CONNECTED INDIVIDUAL...IS...IN-ATTENDANCE, but Who is Gonna Be Brave Enough to go thru the Due Process of Law, to Get that Pledge of Allegiance-Prayer, back into the Public School System, a Property that is Financially...Fully, by We the People, who are the Government of the United States of America ?!?
It pays to study the Military History of America... beginning with the few men, Soldiers / Kingly-Royalty Descendants, who came to Colonize America and Conquer it's inhabitants....a task which took from 1584, thru 1839, to Fully Accomplish, for the Blending of the Bloodlineages, for a "More Perfect Union" (not of States) but of Bloodlineage, when...in 1776-1778, the Youngest Male Generations (the Succeeding Generations) of the High-Ranking Military Officers who fought & won the Revolutionary War, "were Ordered...
sent...on purpose...to Marry the Daughters of All the
Chiefs of the 5-(Civilized) Tribes."
It is Not a Coincidence that The Treaty of Paris, with France and the Society of the Cincinnati, were Created
Founded, in the same year...1783....and the Society of
the Cincinnati...the Elite Officers of the Military Operations, met at The (Samuel) Folsom Tavern-Inn]
in Exeter, New Hampshire....and from this Society...
there was an amazing action taken, that would bring about the Conquering of the Native & Mixed-Blood Tribal People of America....
Nathaniel Folsom, is one of the Founding Fathers of America. He is also the Brother of Samuel Folsom, who owned the Tavern-Inn in Exeter, New Hampshire.
George Washington (my cousin) visited Exeter many times, but he would arrive & leave before the people, even knew he was there....this was the Way of the
Freemasonry...."Get the Job Done"...as quickly as possibly, for the Best Results....in the Best Interest of
the Whole of the Society of America.
Nathaniel Folsom was 6-years older than George Washington & the Eldest of the Founding Fathers of America....he had Seniority, when it came to the Founding Fathers of America.
So, it was...that The Three Folsom Brothers, the Youngest Male Generation....three sons of a Man called Israel Folsom....young men by the name of Ebenezer Folsom / Edmund Folsom / Nathaniel Folsom,
they were Ordered to "Go to Mississippi, & marry into
the Highest Level of Authority of the Five Civilized Tribes" of the Tribal People...(this taking place 1776-1778 thru 1830), and then These People, who are
by now, Descendants of the High-Ranking Military Officers who fought & won the Revolutionary War...and are of the Royalty of European Countries, & this Blended Bloodlineage, dates back to Connect to the People of the 12-Tribes of Israel.
(In any country, since Creation, this is the Pattern in which Any Country & it's inhabitants were Conquered
& brought to a level of Civilization)...and it is / has Always Been these Bloodlineages, which have been
Disobedient to the Laws of Creation and to the U.S.Constitutional Laws of America (& or any government laws of any country which has been conquered).
Perhaps Prestige in the United States is not in the
Office Position which is held by Leaders of Our Government Powers that Be, but in Our Bloodlineage, which do truly connect to that of individuals in a foreign country.
Would it surprise any of you, to know for real, that
NOT ALL THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF AMERICA, WERE BORN IN / OF AMERICAN BORN PARENTS ?
And also, by fighting upon the battlefield of war & being overly-exposed to toxicity of ORE elements, some of the Founding Fathers of America, became Sterile...especially...when there was an epidemic of disease such as Smallpox, and an individual would experience a very high fever for a few weeks at a time.
This is the reason George Washington never fathered any children...he had suffered a high fever...during an
epidemic of Smallpox....yet he went on to become the
Father of Our Country...without getting military compensation...for being unable to "replenish the earth".....and yet the Soldiers of Today...want to be paid...for "being unable to produce offspring", and / or,
to be able to "participate in intimacy".
If you are one of these soldiers...you better feel very blessed...to be paid...for the Ability "to do nothing"...
for the thing about it is....there was a Greater Feat than you have ever accomplished...and that was...the Feat of Winning the Revolutionary War...just to give
you the Freedom, Independence & Individual Equal
Rights, that you have today....!!
Consider yourself Lucky...& Bless-ed...that "there's the choice of Adoption...helping with the Orphans...of the Soldiers, who were Killed Upon the Battlefield of War"....

I sometimes wonder How Some of the Leaders of Our
Government, At Any Level of Government, Ever Got
Voted Into Office, being that They are So-Uneducated
as to the Truth of the Foundation Upon Which Our
Country, the U.S.A. was Established.
How can We the People, keep these Uneducated People from Being the Ones to Take Over the Offices of Any Level of Government...& they "be in charge, so Powerful, that They Ruin All of Life, by which Our Lives are Based Upon, Constitutionally"?
People of the State of Texas, sometimes wants to
secede From the Union, and People of the State of Oklahoma, are Arguing over Whether some Water from the Rivers, should be Sold to the State of Texas,
as Drought comes to that State, each time it does happen.
Don't these people realize that "Water doesn't come from the Power of Human Beings" but Rain cometh
from the Creator of All Things, including water, air, land
and All that is Upon the Earth's Planet?
Another thing, Our Country, the U.S.A. was Colonized by High-Ranking Military Officers who are Descendants of the Royalty of European Countries, and the Documents of the U.S. Government were written and established as Supreme Law of America & it's Inhabitants, and "These Founding Fathers of America, are also, Descendants of the Royalty of European Countries & they, too...were High-Ranking Military Officers, and as each Territory in America, was Conquered & brought to a level of Civilization, the Bloodlineage of the Royalty of European Countries was Injected via Marriage or Common-Law...parenting children (the Succeeding Generations, together)...
and this was, for sure, injected into the 5-(Civilized)
Tribes, who were In-Possession of Land & Resources,
which were needed by the Military Leaders, in order
to bring Settlement of Homesteaders to the Land...
people who come from "all foreign countries"...and interjoined with the Native and Mixed-Blood Tribal People (Indian) of America.
Water is Freely-Given by the Supreme Creator of Life,
and yet...people / tribes...say they have the Right to
Ownership of Waterways...Rivers and part of the Ocean Waters...
I wonder, what part of it do they own, the part that
flows away from the land, or the part that flows Into
the Land?
In America it seems that There is the Most Selfish People around the World, for them to be Arguing over something so trivial as Water that Flows in the Rivers,
Creeks and Oceans...and Deny...the Selling of Water
to Their Own Relatives, who live in the State of Texas,
or in any State of America...for that matter.
I've never seen or heard of so many Uneducated People, "leaders of Government"...as there exists with us today.
CHANGES ARE NEEDED FOR SURE, but Will Obama, truly Abide by the U.S. Constitutional Laws? Will he be able to bring about a 180 degree turn of events, which can Sustain the "We the People" type of Government?
I feel that Taxpayer's Monies and Time is being Wasted by such Leaders that are Leading the People of America...astray...down a pathway of Sin & Destruction (& I'm not an overly religious person, just one who believes in the Supreme Powers that is Greater than All Mankind).
ALSO, DOESN'T ANYONE REALIZE THAT "URANIUM IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS TOXIC ELEMENTS TO BE PRODUCED", AROUND THE WORLD?
All Metal / ORE products, that are suctioned from the Belly of the Earth, are Highly Toxic to the Human Body, and Over-Exposure, can cause a Malfunction to the Central Nervous System, for PTSD to Exist, with the
COMBAT MILITARY SOLDIERS, and this Toxicity does and has, for Centuries upon Centuries, Transmitted into Succeeding Generations (unborn babies) for the
Development of Birth Defects / Autism / Down Syndrome/ Desires for Use & Abuse of Addictive Substances / Prostrate Cancer / Breast Cancer / Cancer in Early Childhood...ETC.
The Lord of Lords and King of Kings...states that "thru the Power, I have Created thee, from the Dust of the Earth...and to Dust of the Earth, ye will return".... What do people believe that is the Contents of Dust of the Earth, if it is Not the Elements of ORE which has a Gravity Push / Pull, which can trigger an infection to become Cancerous (for the human body to Feed Upon Itself)...
And persons who call themselves Scientists, spend many taxpayer's dollars, trying to find a Cure for Cancer, and Addiction,....& THERE IS NO CURE...it has to be Maintained...Unless...there can be Less & Less
Production of Natural Resources of such Elements of ORE, such as Coal, Natural Gas, Uranium, Mercury,
Lead,....elements that cause the Brain of the Human Body, to Malfunction, & Re-Direct the Central Nervous System, to tell the body to begin a Process to Eat Upon itself....and then "It's til Death Do Us Part"...
the Spirit of Life and the Flesh, become permanently
Separated !!
What a Reality for anyone to be Faced With...!
Yeah, when are We the People, gonna see some People to become Leaders of Government, which are
or would be of the Level of Intelligence as were the
Founding Fathers / High-Ranking Military Officers, who
did know that they couldn't win the Revolutionary War Against the King of England, with just the Colonist People, so "they sent for re-enforcements...their relatives, no less...from European Countries" and THE
WAR WAS WON !!
What a great intelligent bunch of fellas those guys were, to know when to ...Rely on Their Relatives...for
Fighting a War...to the Finish.
In America, leaders of government, have made sure that Family Unity, especially that of Military Connected Families, has been destroyed...pretty much, and children removed from their natural parents...to the point that We Have No Relatives who would Stand United ...for the Common Cause of Freedom, Independence, and INDIVIDUAL EQUAL RIGHTS.
I trust that this information is helpful, for A Wake-Up Call to the American People...
I tend to Speak My Piece of Mind...and I wish for others to do the same, or America & it's Government...
might be eliminated...as if it could....

Great show! Bill what you are getting at is political will. Unfortunately political will is not created by scientific evidence but by critical mass. Like cancer, treatment is more successful when it is caught in the early stages. Unfortunately, political will happens, like cancer, when the problem or issue is well established and by then it is too late. I fear this is true of climate change as well. It is true of everything - from catching the cold to catching H1V1, early detection is everything.

I agree! There is something that tells me Obama agrees but he is a chess player not a checkers guy so it will be strategized. When the time comes I'm going to edjucate those who disagree and get signatures everywhere I go California is holding on because of their perscription plan! As a cash crop it would really really help!!!!!
