The American Dream 2010
It was early August morning. The sun was shining and the birds singing. The warmth of the sun was already reflecting off the cement.
People were walking around in short paints and short sleeve shirts. Even though it was hot people were still running around boathouse row. As they ran they drank their water and wiped the heads with rags.
I was sitting on a bench watching them run by. As I sat there I couldn’t remember how I got there. I could smell liquor on my clothes. Then I remembered that I was in a bar last night but I couldn’t remember where. I sat there with my clothes-dripping wet. I looked down; there was a red tint to my close. Like some one trough die on it.
I sat back on the bench and looked up into the sky. It seemed so quite and tranquil. I feel deep in thought. The noise around me stopped. Then the feeling of loneliness came over me. I had nothing; I had no one were the thoughts that rushed through my head. My hart started beating. It felt like it was going to explode inside me. The harder it beat the more I went into a daze. My eyes wouldn’t open. Then I saw my life flash before me. I could see a young child around six years old and another child around two. They were running around a large back yard. There was a good size house attached to it. Who weir they and why was I thinking about them. I don’t remember them or the house. I don’t remember a wife, children or anything about my life. I do remember that I was some kind of salesman. I would travel all day talking to people but about what I don’t know.
I feel so empty, so alone. Like I didn’t have a purpose in the world. I could feel tears rolling down my eyes. I just sat there and tried to put all the memories and faces together that was now shooting into my mine. I had to put them in order. There was a blond woman stand with her back towards me. I couldn’t see her face or hear any voices but I knew she was crying. I felt her sadness.
What is going on? Nothing made sense. All these feelings feel real and not like a dream. I tried to wake but I couldn’t
Tears started rolling down my eyes again. Again I tried opening my eyes. This time with success.
It was late afternoon and I was covered with sweat. I got up and started walking. As I walked I could feel myself floating above the rooftops. I feel like I was in a movie.
All the sudden I stop floating and hovered over a street where a several people were gatherd. They were standing in the middle of it.
I was about to find out what was going on. Two children were standing there with the blond woman over a man lying that was not moving. There was another woman that looked frantic and was crying also. I could hear the ambulance coming in the background. As I looked at the man lying on the ground I was shocked to see whom it was. It was me! As I saw myself lying there I knew that I was going to die!
It all came back to me. That was my wife and two children. We were living the typical middle class life when everything came falling down. I lost my job and it got tough to pay all the bills. I was working two jobs and my wife picked up an extra job on the weekends. But it wasn’t enough. Our house was going to be foreclosed on in a month. The bank wouldn’t renegotiate our loan. The only way I saw that my family could keep the home we work for so long for was to take drastic action. I ran into the street on purpose hopping to get hit and die. I know that was the cowardly thing to do but this way my family would collect my insurance. This way they would face being homeless. I gave my life to make sure.
The Government and the banks let us down. I worked two jobs and my wife work a job on the weekends to show the bank that we would do anything to save our home. That wasn’t enough. This program that the government has helps only the banks.
I had to die to keep my house. My family has to do without me so they could live in our home.
I had to die for them to live!!!
This is not a true story that I know of but I bet somewhere some one has thought of it because the banks and our government has failed to keep the American Dream alive for the American people.
Even though no one helps America it is time for us to stand up again and help Haiti, If you like article please go to the link below and donate to the Red Cross

A call to action wake up America
I was sent this email and it only proved what I had suspected. That is we should follow Israel and be ready for anything and be aware that the Terrorist are out to kill us by any means possible.
The world and we are at war; it could be the most important war we have ever had. We have to be strong and do anything that it takes. We need strong leaders. Not leaders that are afraid to do what maybe offensive to some. It means the lives of many for the sacrifice of few. I watch a show on T.V last night and although it’s not biased on true facts, it hit a fact that we better be aware of. The actor was asked when the jihad would be over. He said it would never end until all infidels were killed. That is true in real life. We are in a real war that may never end. The lives we lived before 9/11 will never be again. Our children, children-children and their children will never live in peace.
Read this below, it will put fear in you hart. Fear that should be there. Be aware of what goes on around you.
Advice from an Israeli Agent
AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ !!
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie 'Munich' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with us.
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed, and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11, a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months..
Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all travelling naked!
Every strategy we have is reactionary.
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates.
Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The interlands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.
Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts. The world is quickly going to become 'a different place', and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny'.
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown', having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will inevitably face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel's, Ireland's and England's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to pay attention to, and trust 'aware' citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we 'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake..
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-travelled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.
Unfortunately, America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel.
Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan, that in the event of another terrorist
attack, EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., will immediately be cut-off, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.
How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak to each other? You need to have a plan.
If you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don't stop there. In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to. Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.
If you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs -- good for you! However, in the event something does happen, and even more so, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt you forever.
Telling yourself after the fact, "I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it as so much trash, plus I just didn't believe it", will not change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a sensible, valuable warning.
The world and we are at war; it could be the most important war we have ever had. We have to be strong and do anything that it takes. We need strong leaders. Not leaders that are afraid to do what maybe offensive to some. It means the lives of many for the sacrifice of few.

Wake up Obama and smell the roses.
I don’t understand how naïve this president and his Cabinet are.
First of all I think that the head of Home Land Security should be booted of office. Just the mere fact that she got on T.V. and said that our strategy on terrorism worked in stopping the bomber shows how stupid she really is. I hope no one bought into that. She and the rest of our national agencies that are supposes to protect us dropped the ball but most of all it's the countries that let these terrorist on board air plains who are to blame.
The biggest blame has to go to our naïve president. Once again Obama proves that he is not Presidential material. He wants to close getmo and realest more terrorists to come back and try to kill us.
That’s not solving the problem it’s creating a bigger one. Obama better wake up and realize that before we have another 9/11.
Obama is coming back early from his vacation. Too bad he should have been back the same day it happened, he’s commander and Chief isn't he? Generals in war don’t get a day off. We are in a war.
It seems like he is no better than Bush who sat there reading to a class of children while the terrorist boomed the twin towers.
Wake up Obama and face the real world. Your not on the streets of Chicago anymore you’re the President of the Greatest country of the world. I afraid of what they will call us when your done your fours years. We had eight years of Bush, which was a disaster for this country and the world. No we have you, freeing terrorist and printing money like it grows on trees. So fare we are still no better off but the banks on Wall Street are. Lets talk about health care. Give us what you have. That will be great. I would even be willing to pay something towards it because if people think that this bill is not going to cost us their fooling themselves. The tax hikes that this will cause from now till 2014 will put us in another rescission.
Wake up Obama and smell the roses.
