The Iraqi Civil War continues: At the end of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, bombs at two separate Shi’ite (partisans of Ali) mosques, in Baghdad, along with gunmen in Hillah and Kesaba, kill at least 24 Iraqi citizens.

       NOTE: Meanwhile no members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) lost their lives.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto CONgressman Brad Sherman, Esq., of the republic of california, claims that had the house of representatives not passed the “Billionaire Bailout (and left taxpayers the) Bill,” martial law would have been declared across the nation:

       Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday, that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple thousand the second day.  And a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no.  That’s what I call fear fear-mongering, unjustified, proven wrong.  We’ve got a week, we’ve got two weeks to write a good bill.  The only way to write, to pass a bad bill: keep the panic pressure on.

       Postscript: Later in the week, as the house of representatives was re-considering the bill, Sherman retracted this statement; although CSPAN and YouTube have recorded this statement for posterity, it does not appear in the Congressional Record — why?

       NOTE: As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Sherman was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].

       99% of CONgress must also believe in the Tooth Fairy and the Boogeyman.  If the average person was told such a story one would hope that they’d take at least 8hours to find proof or disproof, instead of panicking to approve of such a massive leap to socialism; the unconstitutional seizure of massive amounts of private property, sans debate, public knowledge and the required Amendments, per Art. V, to the Constitution, which all honorable Members of CONgress are affirmed or sworn to protect and defend. —- JL
