Hello and welcome. As we all anticipated, Obama took the Iowa caucuses with 38% of the votes. Too bad Kucinich and Paul were left off the ballot. Anyway, happy weekend!

Thursday is 2008

Happy 2008! We are two years away from the future, and '08 will be the year of change. There are so many possibilities and hopefully people are finally waking up to the corrupt police state we live in. Please, before you go any further view this presentation of 'Illuminati' and educate yourself on the scale of corruption we are living in.

You have now woken up to the OIL corruption, freemasons/secret societies, and the invisible hand that moves it's pawns in place. We are all products being programmed to buy and follow. Please help me stand up to this malice.
