				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/transportjet.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3839" alt="Transport jet 747" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/transportjet.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>A couple weeks ago, during my weekly trip into Albuquerque, I noticed what appeared to be a passenger jet on an unusual flight pattern.</span></p>
<p>Spirit told me to pay attention.</p>
<p>The plane was north of Interstate 40, flying low, and headed east. Its height indicated it had just taken off or it was in a landing pattern.</p>
<p>However, its location was too close to the Albuquerque Sunport for the plane to do either without navigating an extremely tight one-hundred and eighty degree turn. While not impossible, this was unlikely.</p>
<p>The weather was perfect for flying, air traffic was light, and I couldn&#8217;t imagine a normal flight pattern that would put the plane in its current location.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve flown in and out of Albuquerque numerous times. I often watch jets take off and land when I&#8217;m in the city. The wide vistas allow a person to watch the planes for 60 miles or more in every direction except east.</p>
<p>The Sandia Mountains form a ten thousand foot wall on that side of city.</p>
<p>The jet&#8217;s current location had it pointed into the mountain range.</p>
<p>I could not remember seeing a plane at that place in the sky.</p>
<p>I wondered if it was in trouble.</p>
<p>As I pulled even with it, I looked up and noticed it had four engines, no windows, and no markings.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t a passenger jet.</p>
<p>It was something else, probably military.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t maintain eye contact so I don&#8217;t know whether it made a tight turn and landed or it elevated over the Sandias.</p>
<p>I assume it did one or the other because there were no reports of a crash.</p>
<p>Last Saturday, Sheryl Cox, from <a href="http://sharinglight.com/" target="_blank">Sharing Light Photography</a>, photographed a similar plane as it flew over our house, towards the mountains to the west. (We live east of the city and east of the Sandias.) It caught her attention because it was on an unusual flight pattern.</p>
<p>She could not remember seeing a plane at that place in the sky.</p>
<p>It was flying so low she was concerned it wouldn&#8217;t make it over the mountains.</p>
<p>One of her shots is the image that accompanies this article.</p>
<p>Without doing research, I assumed it was a C-130.</p>
<p>We joked about it being a huge drone because we couldn&#8217;t see any windows.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t think anything else about it until rumors started flying Sunday evening about foreign troops coming into the United States to enforce martial law.</p>
<p><a href="http://americanholocaustcoming.blogspot.com/2013/05/foreign-troopsarmored-vehicles-rapidly.html" target="_blank">The image of the C-130 in the article linked here was the same color as the plane I had seen on the way into Albuquerque and the same color as the jet in today&#8217;s image</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">The foreign troops/martial law rumors hit the internet about every six months. Therefore, I generally ignore them.</span></p>
<p>However, between spirit telling me pay to attention and the unusual activity, I wondered what might be taking place.</p>
<p>I looked online in an attempt to identify the plane in the picture and realized C-130s have square wings. C-17s, the other common military transport plane, generally appear wider and shorter than the plane in today&#8217;s image.</p>
<p>I learned that the other common four-engine plane is a 747.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldofstock.com/closeups/TRA2768.php" target="_blank">More online research produced an image that seemed to match</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">I considered the possibilities.</span></p>
<p>Kirtland Air Force Base shares runways with Albuquerque International Sunport so it isn&#8217;t unusual for military planes to fly over the city.</p>
<p>I compared the flight paths for the two planes and realized they were going different directions along the same path, barely clearing the mountain.</p>
<p>Maybe we noticed nothing more than the establishing of a new flight pattern for 747 transport planes.</p>
<p>Maybe we noticed something else.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[On April 20, 2013, I went to a baseball game.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On April 20, 2013, I went to a baseball game.</p>
<p>I decided to brave the windy spring evening for several reasons.</p>
<p>Tax season had just ended and I needed to relax for a while.</p>
<p>I enjoy watching baseball.</p>
<p>The promotions for the evening included a fireworks show after the game and a concert before.</p>
<p>Fireworks are always fun.</p>
<p>Those who had heard the group previously promised I would like the music.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m picky, almost snobbish, about my music so no matter what my friends said, I reserved the right to form my own opinion, especially about live performances.</p>
<p>Once in the stadium, we made our way to the northwest corner to an area known as &#8220;The Breezeway.&#8221;</p>
<p>The location was true to its name.</p>
<p>A westerly wind churned.</p>
<p>I stepped back a few paces to use the outer wall of the stadium as a windbreak.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/honeyhouse.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3834" alt="honeyhouse" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/honeyhouse.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://www.honeyhouse.me/home.html" target="_blank">hONEyhoUSe wasn&#8217;t so lucky</a>.</p>
<p>The four-person, female group experienced the full force of the wind as they began their short pregame concert.</p>
<p>They didn&#8217;t seem to mind.</p>
<p>It certainly didn&#8217;t hinder their music.</p>
<p>From the first chord on Yvonne Perea&#8217;s guitar, I was mesmerized.</p>
<p>There was so much sound coming from one guitar – more than seemed possible.</p>
<p>She joined Hillary Smith and Mandy Buchanan to create luscious vocals and impeccable harmonies.</p>
<p>I stood and listened with a smile planted on my face, oblivious to everything else around me.</p>
<p>Their scrumptious music almost allowed me to forget about the events of the previous week: the bombing in Boston, the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, the unprecedented implementation of martial law the day before.</p>
<p>Then, it happened.</p>
<p>One of their songs reached out past my critically pleased ear and grabbed my heart.</p>
<p>Time went into slow motion and inspiration raced through my head.</p>
<p><i>Baptized myself in the Rio Grande.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">No one else baptized me. I took responsibility and did it myself.</p>
<p><i>I believed I was helped as I stepped onto dry land.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">My beliefs determine whether ceremony is beneficial for me.</p>
<p><i>Baptized myself in the Rio Grande</i><br />
<i>Let the water wash it all away</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Water is sacred. It is for cleansing. It doesn&#8217;t have to be holy water or water in a baptismal pool.</p>
<p><i>Driving along the lost highway</i><br />
<i>Seeking peace of mind</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">This song explains a path to Peace of Mind.</p>
<p>I experienced this throughout the entire song.</p>
<p>The insights radiated into my being.</p>
<p>Tears ran down my face.</p>
<p>The song climaxed into the bridge and a gust came around the corner of the stadium.</p>
<p>I knew immediately it was more than wind.</p>
<p>It was spirit.</p>
<p>Confirming the experience for me.</p>
<p>And, providing a peaceful response to the turmoil of the previous week.</p>
<hr />
<p>Here are the complete lyrics to <em>Rio Grande, </em>the song that grabbed my heart. <a href="http://www.honeyhouse.me/music.html" target="_blank">You may listen to a sample of it on the page linked here</a>. It is the third song from the top.</p>
<p>Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
I believed I was helped as I stepped onto dry land<br />
Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
Let the water wash it all away</p>
<p>Driving along the lost highway<br />
Seeking peace of mind<br />
Looking out for what&#8217;s to come<br />
Can&#8217;t imagine what I&#8217;ll find<br />
Too scared to pull over<br />
Too stubborn to drive away<br />
Heard a voice from deep within<br />
Child, time to obey</p>
<p>Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
I believed I was helped as I stepped onto dry land<br />
Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
Let the water wash it all away</p>
<p>Walking along the riverside<br />
Waiting for the rain<br />
Keeping up appearances<br />
Can&#8217;t carry all this pain<br />
Too scared to get much closer<br />
Too stubborn to walk away<br />
Heard a voice from deep within<br />
Child, time to obey</p>
<p>Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
I believed I was helped as I stepped onto dry land<br />
Baptized myself in the Rio Grande<br />
Let the water wash it all away</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/obamas-biggest-fans-abandoning-ship/#7JEJOWgVWFw3XuC1.99" target="_blank">Mainstream media turns on Obama</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57585153/republicans-use-irs-scandal-to-tar-obamacare/" target="_blank">Republicans state the obvious about the relationship between the IRS and Obamacare</a>.</p>
<p>Obviously, those that control government and media have changed their agenda.</p>
<p>Instead of supporting Obama&#8217;s move towards socialism, they have suddenly put on the breaks, reversed course, and are looking for a more profitable path.</p>
<p>And, not a moment too soon.</p>
<p>Consider what we have learned during this scandal.</p>
<p>The IRS targeted conservative groups. <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/congressman-irs-asked-pro-life-group-about-the-content-of-their-prayers/article/2529924" target="_blank">In one series of questions, they asked about the content of a group&#8217;s prayers</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/NTEU.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3829" alt="NTEU" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/NTEU.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>The employees who worked in these departments were members of a union, The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.redstate.com/2013/05/16/meet-the-partisan-union-behind-the-partisan-internal-revenue-service/" target="_blank">This union supported Democratic politicians </a><b><i><a href="http://www.redstate.com/2013/05/16/meet-the-partisan-union-behind-the-partisan-internal-revenue-service/" target="_blank">almost exclusively</a>.</i></b></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Think about that.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/05/17/Obama-Appointed-IRS-Union-President-To-Group-In-Charge-of-Federal-Raises-In-2010" target="_blank">The IRS employees who worked in the tax-exempt department were part of a union that largely supported Democratic politicians</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve prepared taxes for more than thirty years and I wasn&#8217;t aware that IRS employees were unionized. Obviously, I wasn&#8217;t aware the union was politically active either.</p>
<p>From their position, NTEU members could further support their political agenda by demonstrating a bias against organizations associated with Republicans.</p>
<p>The union was in a perfect spot to have maximum influence.</p>
<p>Then, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/05/irs-official-in-charge-during-tea-party-targeting-now-runs-health-care-office/" target="_blank">the person who headed that department was rewarded by being placed in charge of the IRS department that enforces Obamacare</a>.</p>
<p>Do you see the ramifications?</p>
<p>A union of IRS employees, supported by the highest ranks of Federal Government, acted with prejudice while conducting its day-to-day job responsibilities.</p>
<p>Members of this same union will soon have access to medical information regarding the American public.</p>
<p>Will they behave in a similar manner, using the healthcare information with prejudice against those with certain philosophical beliefs?</p>
<p>Those who control government and media have recognized the urgency of the situation and have given orders.</p>
<p>Socialism was OK as long as it served their purposes.</p>
<p>However, when the socialists and the union workers began to use their power for purposes that undermined the agenda and profits of the elite, the elite pulled their support.</p>
<p>Now, the Obama administration is scrambling.</p>
<p>Instead of solidly establishing the socializing of the United States, it is fighting for its life.</p>
<p>The greatest feather is its cap, Obamacare, may not survive its partnership with the IRS.</p>
<p>Obama and his team gambled with their faux power.</p>
<p>They lost…</p>
<p align="right">…this time.</p>
<p>If Obama gets back in line, he may be allowed to finish his second term.</p>
<p>However, if he continues to push for his agenda in a manner that harms the powerbrokers, impeachment will likely be the next step.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Is, as I proposed yesterday, the IRS scandal really an indirect attack on Obamacare?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/obamacare.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3825" alt="Obamacare" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/obamacare.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>Is, <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2013/05/18/the-underlying-agenda/" target="_blank">as I proposed yesterday</a>, the IRS scandal really an indirect attack on Obamacare?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s consider the facts.</p>
<p>The Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) has a great deal of support.</p>
<p>And, it has much opposition. State governments have filed suit over it, voters have voted against it, and doctors have closed offices because of it.</p>
<p>The plan takes most of the profit out of the medical and health insurance industries. It sets up a national healthcare database, virtually eliminating medical privacy.</p>
<p>In spite of these drawbacks, the plan rides its support and moves forward, ignoring the opposition.</p>
<p>Therefore, an indirect attack against Obamacare through a direct attack on the IRS appears to be a better tactic.</p>
<p>The IRS targeting scandal is tailor-made for this purpose; its timing carefully planned to make the maximum impact.</p>
<p>A look into the past reveals that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting conservative, religious, and anti-tax organizations for more than a year. <a href="http://www.fox19.com/story/17061342/reality-check-is-the-irs-trying-to-shakedown-hundreds-of-tea-party-groups-across-the-nation" target="_blank">Ben Swann first reported on IRS efforts against the Tea Party in March of last year</a>.</p>
<p>The IRS didn&#8217;t stop there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.news-record.com/blogs/clark_off_the_record/article_97a71618-bda5-11e2-85a8-0019bb30f31a.html" target="_blank">It investigated the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, a well-known Christian organization, after the group ran political ads last fall urging voters to support candidates with biblical values</a>.</p>
<p>Other organizations have reported similar treatment.</p>
<p>In other words, IRS targeting of these groups isn&#8217;t new information.</p>
<p>Therefore, the question that begs to be asked is, &#8220;Why now?&#8221;</p>
<p>One possibility is a planned attack on Obamacare.</p>
<p>If there is any doubt about the timing and purpose, breaking stories over the past day and a half have removed it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/irs-scandal-celia-roady-planted-question-tea-party-conservatives-obama-2013-5" target="_blank">We have learned that the IRS actually planted the question that allowed the scandal to break</a>. Yes, there was an admitted IRS conspiracy to rat on itself.</p>
<p>We see Obama&#8217;s biggest fans in mainstream media continue to abandon him. <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/obamas-biggest-fans-abandoning-ship/#7JEJOWgVWFw3XuC1.99" target="_blank">Even CNN&#8217;s Piers Morgan, who has campaigned relentlessly for gun control, claims he is beginning to understand the argument for guns in light of the &#8220;tyrannical behavior&#8221; of the IRS</a>.</p>
<p>Democrats have joined mainstream media in abandoning Obama.</p>
<p>And, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/gop-hopes-irs-scandal-snag-health-care-law-201029658.html" target="_blank">we see Republicans jumping on the opportunity to overthrow Obamacare</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/05/irs-official-in-charge-during-tea-party-targeting-now-runs-health-care-office/" target="_blank">They have pointed out that the IRS official in charge of tax-exempt organizations during the targeting is now the person in charge of enforcing Obamacare for the IRS</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57585153/republicans-use-irs-scandal-to-tar-obamacare/" target="_blank">They have produced a short video, featuring Maryland Representative Andy Harris, that says, &#8220;…the IRS needs less power, not more</a>.&#8221; It is a direct attack on Obamacare, including a call to repeal the bill.</p>
<p>As a tax preparer, I am acutely aware of how Americans detest the IRS.</p>
<p>Opponents of Obamacare have successfully seized this hatred and turned it towards the new law.</p>
<p>It appears this was the plan from the beginning.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">The IRS willingly fell on its sword.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Mainstream media and Democrats dropped their support for Obama.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Republicans followed by stating the obvious.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>Stay tuned. I&#8217;m sure there is more to come.</p>

<p>The one at the forefront is removing Obama from office by linking him with the cover up of a crime.</p>
<p>Although congressional members are reluctant to use the &#8220;I&#8221; word, it is clear that impeachment is a consideration.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s critics, who thought Benghazi was the key to this strategy, <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/release-of-ap-and-irs-scandals-timed-to-cover-up-benghazi/" target="_blank">are concerned that the IRS and AP scandals are releasing the pressure from last year&#8217;s 9/11 attack</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/16/irs-scheme-a-distraction-from-benghazi/" target="_blank">They think the White House can be tied directly to Benghazi and the administration can distance itself from the other two scandals.</a></p>
<p>However, events over the past week indicate there is another agenda, perhaps one of a greater priority, bubbling underneath the surface.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/stunner-who-is-suddenly-telling-liberal-jackals-to-attack-obama/" target="_blank">The first clue is the amount of time the media has given to covering the scandals and criticizing the president</a>. This causes the scandals to stick to Obama and, <a href="http://theulstermanreport.com/2013/05/13/white-house-insider-for-the-first-time-barack-obama-truly-fears-american-public-opinion/" target="_blank">for the first time during his presidency, he appears afraid of mainstream media</a>.</p>
<p>This shift in coverage is a likely indicator that the president has disappointed those who previously supported him.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, <a href="http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/flashback-watergate-nazis-nixon-rockefeller/" target="_blank">Jon Rappoport documented how Richard Nixon&#8217;s impeachment was the result of trade tariffs that hurt corporate interests in general and Rockefeller interests in particular</a>.</p>
<p>The people behind the curtain corrected this situation by removing Nixon and Vice-President Agnew from office, replacing Nixon with Gerald Ford, and replacing Agnew with Nelson Rockefeller, David&#8217;s brother.</p>
<p>The current array of scandals, combined with the shift in coverage, indicates Obama may have upset corporate interests just as Nixon did.</p>
<p>While Benghazi could be the scandal that removes Obama from office, the IRS scandal gives us a clue regarding the area of the president&#8217;s misdeeds.</p>
<p>As it stands now, Obama&#8217;s legacy will be the socializing of the United States.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/10/02/obamas-vision/" target="_blank">I wrote last October about Dinesh D&#8217;Souza&#8217;s work that claims Obama&#8217;s personal philosophy is to level the world&#8217;s playing field through disrupting America&#8217;s basic principles</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Corporate interests are OK with these acts as long as they can profit.</span></p>
<p>However, Obama, in the true spirit of socialism, apparently believes no one, except government, should profit. Therefore, he has implemented policies that take individual resources and put them into the hands of government.</p>
<p>This is especially true in the area of health care.</p>
<p>The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare), hailed by many as the solution to America&#8217;s healthcare woes, is now being <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/05/10/affordable-care-act-obamacare-column/2144409/" target="_blank">called a potential train wreck by Republicans and Democrats alike</a>.</p>
<p>Estimates say <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/insurers-predict-100-400-obamacare-rate-explosion/article/2529523" target="_blank">it will raise insurance costs at least one hundred percent and possibly as much as four hundred percent</a>.</p>
<p>The only financial solution is to reduce medical profits or to increase taxes, especially taxes on the rich.</p>
<p>Corporate leaders aren&#8217;t happy with either solution.</p>
<p>This is especially true of those who have methodically produced the legal chemicals used by much of the human race.</p>
<p>They have realized that the IRS is in position to level the playing field according to Obama&#8217;s agenda. The Service now has the power to both enforce Obamacare, reducing medical profits, and enforce the tax code, taking thirty-five percent of those reduced profits.</p>
<p>Impeaching Obama won&#8217;t help corporate leaders unless they can also neuter the IRS.</p>
<p>Therefore, the focus has shifted from Benghazi to the Internal Revenue Service.</p>
<p>To be continued…</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/obamadefense.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3817" alt="President Obama defensive" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/obamadefense.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>President Obama sees the efforts to remove him from office and he has taken defensive actions.</span></p>
<p>Two days ago, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324082604578485453453286058.html" target="_blank">the While House released more than one hundred pages of emails regarding the Benghazi action</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">On the same day, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/16/us-usa-obama-irs-statement-idUSBRE94E1EA20130516" target="_blank">the president told Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to demand the resignation of Steven Miller, the acting IRS commissioner</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">The day before, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/holder-says-played-no-role-ap-phone-subpoena-215013058.html" target="_blank">Attorney General Eric Holder claimed he knew nothing about the illegal seizing of AP phone records</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">These defensive actions were more sizzle than steak.</span></p>
<p>The emails generally discuss the talking points used to deceive the American public. However, they do not tell us about the discussions that happened during the attack.</p>
<p>In fact, <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/16/white-houses-benghazi-email-dump-shows-critical-two-day-gap-cia-objection/" target="_blank">the date of the earliest email is 67 hours after the attack began</a>. I suspect national security will be cited as an excuse not to release earlier emails.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/resignation-fired-irs-commissioner-planned-leave-post-june/story?id=19193192#.UZYhibWgnVo" target="_blank">Acting IRS commissioner Miller was working under the terms of a 210-day contract that was scheduled to end June 8</a>. He likely would have left his post in three weeks had his resignation not hastened his exit.</span></p>
<p>Interestingly, there is no indication that he has left the building.</p>
<p>Miller&#8217;s resignation letter says he will assist in an &#8220;orderly transition.&#8221; It appears, he will still be around for a while.</p>
<p>Holder&#8217;s admission that he knew nothing is either a lie or an indication that he has people within his department who feel comfortable violating standards established as a result of improprieties committed during the Nixon administration.</p>
<p>None of these defensive acts carries substance with them.</p>
<p>They are political in nature, designed to diffuse the energy of the accusations without admitting guilt.</p>
<p>The Obama administration effectively used similar techniques in prior situations.</p>
<p>However, they don&#8217;t seem to be working this time.</p>
<p>The media has suddenly changed its actions and seems to no longer support Obama.</p>
<p>This could be energetic.</p>
<p>A defensive posture invites attack.</p>
<p>There could be other reasons.</p>
<p>Jon Rappoport believes the media&#8217;s withdrawal of support for Obama is by design and, <a href="http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/stunner-who-is-suddenly-telling-liberal-jackals-to-attack-obama/" target="_blank">in yesterday&#8217;s post</a>, he wondered if Obama had upset the Trilateral Commission.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/05/chris-matthews-sours-on-obama-164095.html" target="_blank">Rappoport cites Chris Matthews&#8217; sudden turn on Obama as an indicator that someone has given the order to tighten the screws on the president</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/flashback-watergate-nazis-nixon-rockefeller/" target="_blank">The day before, Rappoport</a> provided background on how Nixon&#8217;s trade tariffs angered those who would benefit from global free trade and were the real reason for his impeachment. It is a compelling argument that has prompted me to look closer at what the underlying motives are in the current situation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">I must admit that something has changed.</span></p>
<p>Obama has lost his Teflon.</p>
<p>Accusations are starting to stick to him.</p>
<p>For the first time, <a href="http://theulstermanreport.com/2013/05/13/white-house-insider-for-the-first-time-barack-obama-truly-fears-american-public-opinion/" target="_blank">he appears afraid of mainstream media</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">What has changed?</span></p>
<p>I found some clues late last night.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you what I found in tomorrow&#8217;s article.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">One of the most challenging parts of the impeachment process is convincing the general public that impeachment is necessary.</span></p>
<p>The evidence alone isn&#8217;t enough to do this.</p>
<p>Those pursuing impeachment must overcome resistance to the idea that the person elected by the majority of American voters is now unfit to serve.</p>
<p>This is more than persuading someone to change.</p>
<p>It is convincing people that they made a mistake.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/dissonance.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3814" alt="Dissonance" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/dissonance.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>It is resolving the cognitive dissonance that comes when two conflicting thoughts attempt to occupy the same mind.</p>
<p>Cognitive dissonance happens whenever you encounter a new thought that contradicts your belief system. You must decide whether to hold to a life-long philosophy or accept the new thought.</p>
<p>The easiest thing to do is to abandon the new thought and cling to the old one.</p>
<p>Therefore, if those with the agenda to impeach the president are going to get the general public to support impeachment, they must skillfully market this new idea to the people who initially supported Obama.</p>
<p>One way to do is this through making the current new idea look like a previous new idea that gained support.</p>
<p>I believe this is what we are seeing.</p>
<p>The Benghazi scandal has enough evidence to impeach Obama.</p>
<p>His refusal to act resulted in the loss of American lives.</p>
<p>Then, he conspired to lie about it.</p>
<p>However, the evidence alone isn&#8217;t enough to persuade the American people.</p>
<p>Enter the IRS and AP scandals.</p>
<p>The accusations of unfair targeting by the IRS and the seizing of AP phone records by the justice department feel like things that happened during the Nixon administration.</p>
<p>Those of us old enough to remember the 1970s remember the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal" target="_blank">Watergate scandal that resulted in the resignation of President Nixon prior to his inevitable impeachment</a>.</p>
<p>Nixon&#8217;s downfall was lying about what he knew regarding the break in of Democratic Party headquarters (Nixon was a Republican) located at the Watergate office complex. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal#Wiretapping_of_the_Democratic_Party.27s_headquarters" target="_blank">The purpose of the break in was to photograph documents and install illegal listening devices</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">The subsequent investigation uncovered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon's_Enemies_List" target="_blank">Nixon&#8217;s &#8220;enemies list&#8221;</a> that he targeted with the CIA, FBI, and IRS.</span></p>
<p>It also revealed hours of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal#Release_of_the_tapes" target="_blank">taped White House conversations, including some that had been erased &#8220;inadvertently&#8221; during transcription</a>.</p>
<p>The cover-up, rather than the crime, ended Nixon&#8217;s presidency.</p>
<p>The comparison between Nixon and Obama is obvious.</p>
<p>Those working towards the impeachment of Obama are using the same script, the same terms, and the same techniques.</p>
<p>They are attempting to expose the crimes committed in the Benghazi incident.</p>
<p>They are claiming there is a cover-up.</p>
<p>They have revealed the IRS targeting and attempted to link it to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/on-the-record/2013/05/15/tea-party-director-my-experience-irss-creepy-enemies-list" target="_blank">Obama&#8217;s &#8220;enemies list</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>They have <a href="http://www.npr.org/2013/05/14/183810320/justice-department-secretly-obtains-ap-phone-records" target="_blank">linked the seizing of AP phone records with the wiretapping in the Democratic Party headquarters</a>.</p>
<p>They are attempting to resolve the cognitive dissonance of the current situation in the same manner used to resolve the cognitive dissonance surrounding Nixon.</p>
<p>Obama knows this.</p>
<p>He has dug in his heels.</p>
<p>He is responding much differently than Nixon responded.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll detail those responses in tomorrow&#8217;s writing.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lookahead.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3809 alignright" alt="Look Ahead" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lookahead.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2013/05/14/false-flag-alert/" target="_blank">If Barack Obama has an agenda to remain president and Republicans have an agenda to remove him from office</a>, what may we expect in the next few days?</p>
<p>Insiders tell us to look for more scandals – <a href="http://theulstermanreport.com/2013/05/14/boom-whi-interview-confirmed-cia-source-says-another-shoe-to-drop-on-obama/" target="_blank">according to a CIA source, a fourth one is about to hit</a>.</p>
<p>This means more accusations, more denials, and more spinning of information.</p>
<p>I wrote yesterday about the three current scandals.</p>
<ol>
<li>The September 11, 2012 killing of four Americans in Libya</li>
<li>The IRS&#8217;s targeting of groups with anti-administration policies</li>
<li>The justice department&#8217;s illegal seizing of Associated Press phone records</li>
</ol>
<p>Since then, <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2013/05/14/attorney-general-orders-probe-into-irs-targeting/4PHMjEm6hOXi3sLouQhgEM/story.html" target="_blank">Obama has issued a statement condemning the IRS employees who did the unfair targeting</a>.</p>
<p>However, as this story unfolds, it isn&#8217;t just the targeting that is coming under fire.</p>
<p>This morning, <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/the-irs-wants-you-to-share-everything-91378.html" target="_blank">Politico reported that the IRS asked these groups for printouts of Facebook posts and lists of the books they read</a>.</p>
<p>This information, along with the organizations&#8217; donor lists, would allow the administration to make a thorough &#8220;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon's_Enemies_List" target="_blank">enemies list</a>&#8221; based on specific criteria.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/on-the-record/2013/05/15/tea-party-director-my-experience-irss-creepy-enemies-list" target="_blank">Conservatives are quick to use the term associated with President Nixon, who had his own list of enemies that he targeted with the IRS</a>.</p>
<p>Conservatives are also quick to remind us that Ambassador Stephens, who was one of the four Americans killed in Libya, may have been on that list, or something like it.</p>
<p>Numerous questions remain about Obama&#8217;s inactions before, during, and after the seven-hour attack.</p>
<p>As Commander in Chief, his lack of response was an obvious <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/10/25/benghazi-obamas-actions-amount-to-a-shameful-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank">dereliction of duty</a>.</p>
<p>The question that remains unanswered is &#8220;Why did he not act?&#8221;</p>
<p>Today, <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/house/299485-gop-defies-boehner-on-libya-panel#ixzz2TGAneGJ9" target="_blank">five house committees continue to attempt to answer this question while there are increasing calls for the House to appoint a special committee that focuses only on Benghazi</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States" target="_blank">The House actions are significant because the impeachment process starts in the House of Representatives</a>.</p>
<p>And, as the scandal evolves without certain answers, the impeachment of President Obama is a possibility.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t say this without reason.</p>
<p>We know Obama had access to information regarding the attacks and he did not act to prevent or intervene in them.</p>
<p>We know there were several resignations of key American leaders soon thereafter including <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/11/01/relieved-of-duty/" target="_blank">the head of AFRICOM, the head of the naval strike force in the area</a>, and the <a href="http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/05/13/cummings_requests_petraeus_testify_under_oath_on_benghazi" target="_blank">head of the CIA</a>.</p>
<p>Rumors, <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/robbins-report/2012/oct/28/general-losing-his-job-over-benghazi/" target="_blank">one substantial enough to be reported by The Washington Times</a>, indicate at least one of these may have been related to attempts to disobey <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/05/08/Benghazi-Hearing-Who-Gave-Stand-Down-Order" target="_blank">stand down</a> orders during the attack.</p>
<p>If Obama did, in fact, purposely issue orders that allowed the Ambassador and his staff to die, impeachment seems more than possible.</p>
<p>It appears likely.</p>
<p>What happens next?</p>
<p>I see several things:</p>
<ul>
<li>The House will continue to investigate what happened in Benghazi on 9/11/12.</li>
<li>The other two, and possibly three, scandals will be used to further discredit The President.</li>
<li>The Obama administration will respond to these investigations through a variety of techniques.</li>
<li>One of these techniques could be to create a story so big that it pushes these scandals out of the headlines.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">On September 11, 2012, an attack force killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, in Benghazi, Libya.</span></p>
<p>A couple weeks later, I wrote two articles with questions and answers about that fateful night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/09/27/responding-to-this-years-911-attacks-part-one/" target="_blank">Article one</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/09/28/responding-to-this-years-911-attacks-part-two/" target="_blank">Article two</a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Today, <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/scandal-politics-sweep-capitol-hill-91297.html" target="_blank">five House committees are investigating many of the questions I asked about that attack</a>.</span></p>
<p>The government investigations don&#8217;t stop there.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">The Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/top-irs-official-didnt-reveal-tea-party-targeting-000016562.html" target="_blank">Way and Means Committee are investigating whether the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative groups, including non-profits</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">And that&#8217;s not all.</span></p>
<p>Last night, the <a href="http://bigstory.ap.org/article/govt-obtains-wide-ap-phone-records-probe" target="_blank">Associated Press reported the Justice Department sought its reporters&#8217; phone records, with a special emphasis on those who work in the D.C. area</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">This series of scandals has <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/sns-201305131600--tms--cthomastq--b-a20130514-20130514,0,3145996.column" target="_blank">writers whispering the &#8220;I&#8221; word</a> – even though <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/12/the-coming-attempt-to-impeach-obama.html" target="_blank">Obama may not be directly responsible for this series of scandals</a>. </span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3802" alt="False Flag alert" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/redlight.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">And, it has those who are aware of how agendas work saying the likelihood of a false flag event is high. </span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/040286_false_flag_Benghazi_distraction.html" target="_blank">Mike Adams of Natural News says</a>, &#8220;…the Obama administration is under intense fire right now and needs a quick distraction.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/12/another-false-flag-attack/" target="_blank">Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show says Sunday&#8217;s shooting on New Orleans may have been an attempt at that distraction</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">However, the shooters didn&#8217;t kill anyone so the event didn&#8217;t quite grab enough attention to push the scandals out of the headlines.</span></p>
<p>Therefore, many website owners have reposted Mr. Adams&#8217; idea. They agree that a false flag event is likely.</p>
<p>They remember how previous administrations used international events and domestic crises to distract from White House scandals. These often provided just enough time for key witnesses to disappear, sometimes through a reported suicide.</p>
<p>If I was a <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2013/05/13/the-weather-agenda/" target="_blank">conspiracy thinker</a>, I would be frustrated and upset at this series of events. I would respond fearfully to what might happen this week.</p>
<p>Instead, I see the agendas.</p>
<p>President Obama has an agenda to remain president.</p>
<p>Republicans have an agenda to remove him from office.</p>
<p>Defense contractors and law enforcement have an agenda for job security.</p>
<p>Mainstream media has an agenda to align behind whomever is in power.</p>
<p>I have an agenda for world peace that comes from individual Peace of Mind.</p>
<p>Therefore, I watch closely; aware of these agendas.</p>
<p>Within these observations, I can anticipate what might happen next, as well as the possible explanations given to us by mainstream media.</p>
<p>And, I can maintain Peace of Mind in the process.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll explain how to do this in tomorrow&#8217;s article.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">I see three steps on the road to awareness about what is taking place in our world.</span></p>
<p>Step one is no awareness. These people deny the existence of anything other than the ever-changing mainstream story and, in some cases, they aren&#8217;t even aware of the mainstream story. In fact, they may ignore anything outside of their little circle.</p>
<p>Step two is conspiracy thinking. These people are aware of events outside of the mainstream story. Within this awareness, they have a victim mentality and believe there is nothing they can do to alter the course of events.</p>
<p>Step three is agenda thinking. These people are aware of events outside of the mainstream story and believe that, as creative beings, they have the opportunity to influence the agenda. They have been to meetings where things happened that were not on the agenda.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/weatheragenda.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3799" alt="weather agenda" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.peaceofmindnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/weatheragenda.jpg?resize=320%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>My experiences writing about weather modification helped me clarify these three steps.</p>
<p>Last summer, <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/08/21/haarp-chemtrails-and-weather/" target="_blank">I wrote an article about a possible link between chemtrails and a rare tornado that appeared in our New Mexico Mountains</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">A few months later, <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/11/16/weather-wars/" target="_blank">I documented scalar waves in cloud formations outside my office window</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">In February, <a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2013/02/26/seeing-is-believing/" target="_blank">I wrote about a snowy day when the temperature ranged from 39 to 49 degrees, well above the usual temperature for snow</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">In between, I wrote other articles in an effort to understand what I was seeing in the heavens.</span></p>
<p>In my research for those articles, I discovered lots of interesting information and read many fascinating theories. That material, combined with my observations, led me to believe that there is a weather modification agenda, including the use of chemtrails, taking place in our heavens.</p>
<p>However, because of the dynamic nature of atmospheric conditions, including weather patterns, I can offer no proof that chemtrails exist or that they are used for weather modification.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m OK with this contradiction that sometimes happens in agenda thinking.</p>
<p>Some of my readers are not.</p>
<p>People on both sides of the issue have attempted to convert me to their points of view.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.peaceofmindnews.com/2012/11/24/flushing-out-a-troll/" target="_blank">I wrote about my experience with one of them last November</a>. Rather than discuss observations, he wanted to fit my round observations into his square explanations.</p>
<p>He remained firmly committed to being at step one, unwilling to consider new information.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, even though I haven&#8217;t written about the topic for almost three months, several new readers contacted me over the past couple of weeks to discuss chemtrails.</p>
<p>(That&#8217;s one of the beauties of the internet. New readers become curious about topics and find past articles.)</p>
<p>They wanted to know what conclusions I had come to regarding the topic.</p>
<p>I explained my viewpoint, told them I was still observing, and hadn&#8217;t come to a conclusion.</p>
<p>I light-heartedly explained that conclusions only happen because someone has stopped thinking.</p>
<p>In response, they revealed themselves to be weather modification missionaries, at step two in the above process, and angry about what is taking place in our skies.</p>
<p>They explained they were sick because of the chemicals falling on them.</p>
<p>They described the chemtrail conspiracy as a direct assault on humanity.</p>
<p>They implied I was naïve for not seeing things as they see them. (They thought I was at step one.)</p>
<p>They behaved as victims, without power.</p>
<p>They were practicing conspiracy thinking.</p>
<p>My exchanges with them allowed me to see conspiracy thinking versus agenda thinking.</p>
<p>They helped me see that I don&#8217;t have to respond in fear when I become aware of certain agendas.</p>
<p>That clarity could come in handy if predictions about this week come true.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll explain what I mean in tomorrow&#8217;s article.</p>
