The following is a report from a fellow DPer on some strange interrogations from the Department of Human Services. They seem very interested in the drug use of children and won't stop trying to get their information:
************
I received a letter over a month ago from the US Department Health and Human Services (DHHS). They were very excited to announce that my household had been selected to conduct a National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
It further explains that this is the Federal Governments primary source of national data on the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit substances.
The survey also contains questions on health and illegal behaviors and other topics associated with substance use.
According to the letter approximately 70,000 individuals, 12 years old and older, will be randomly selected and asked to voluntarily participate.
Included was the name of an organization named RTI that had been contracted to solicit this information from me. They were going to come to my house and ask me or my family members some questions. In return, they would pay each person that participated $30.00 "CASH" for their time.
Yes you heard me right, they want to send a stranger unknown to me, come to my house, sit down with my kids and ask them behavioral questions. In return, they have bribed us with $30.00 each of your money to do this. The whole idea creeps me out!
2 weeks ago I was cleaning my garage when a vehicle pulled into my driveway and a female with a company credential pinned to her chest that said RTI got out of her car and approached me. She said "Sir, may I speak to you for a moment?" I politely said "how may I help you"?
She went through a well rehearsed little script on who she was, why she was here and that the questions were completely confidential. She also said that she wanted to know how many people lived in my household, how many were children and what were their ages?
I immediately told her to please leave and that I had no interest in participating.
She then offered to pay cash for each person she spoke with and preceded her attempt to convince me how this information was extremely helpful to the Federal Government.
I again told her not to try to convince me and that I am 100% sure I did not want to participate so its time to say "goodbye" Incredibly she attempted yet another tactic on me. She said, "I know how you feel, I'm like you"....
I said, you have know idea what your talking about. You have no idea what I'm like!
She then said "I'll just put on my sheet you didn't want to talk. Then said "I'm anti-government too...
I responded and said I never told you I was ant-government and I would like you to please leave! I couldn't believe the gull of this person to come here and interrogate me in my driveway.
***********
I then received a second letter in the mail last week. It went into the fact that someone had stopped by and that they were unable to gather the information they were sent to collect. It requested I call an 800 number whereas they would further explain the importance of the survey. Then it stated that they would be sending someone back out again soon.
***********
This morning my doorbell rings and when I answer there is another lady at the door with the same credential as the first lady. She begins her introduction and I interrupted and said "I know who you are" As I told the first lady I did not want to participate. Then she actually leaned into my door and said " If you have any children, I can just ask them a few questions" ...
I slammed the door nearly hitting her in the face with it.
Do you find this a little odd? The persistence or shall I say " insistence" to speak with my children? or the fact that they have $2.1 million dollars in cash of your tax money at their disposal to use as bribe money?
WTF? Something is very wrong with this picture in a day of super surveillance and a looming fiscal crisis.
What do you think?
DEX
That's pretty creepy!
ReplyDeleteI think I will learn Mandarin Chinese so if they come to my door, I will speak only in Chinese.
ReplyDeleteI had something similar. First they claimed they were from the census..indeed, the envelope said that. Bottom line, I asked if they were going to send me to jail as they started to tell me I had to answer. Then, offered a gift card. No as the answer. But bugged me forevere.
ReplyDeleteIn a historic speech, Mrs. Clinton outlined her approach to reining in “Islamophobia” within the United States and other Western nations:
ReplyDeleteIn the United States, I will admit, there are people who still feel vulnerable or marginalized as a result of their religious beliefs. And we have seen how the incendiary actions of just a very few people, a handful in a country of nearly 300 million, can create wide ripples of intolerance. We also understand that, for 235 years, freedom of expression has been a universal right at the core of our democracy. So we are focused on promoting interfaith education and collaboration, enforcing anti-discrimination laws, protecting the rights of all people to worship as they choose, and to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.
“Peer pressure and shaming”, however, are just the beginning. They are part of a softening-up process that will culminate in legal measures — which, in the USA, will mean abrogating part of the First Amendment — restricting what people may say or publish about Islam. This is the ultimate goal; the OIC will accept nothing less.
Organization of Islamic Cooperation -Defamation Acts Against Islam,
U.N. Resolution 16/18 is being pushed by OIC and Hillary Clinton, which would require Western Democracies to enact Legislation preventing the "Defamation of Religions".
This has been tried again and again from 1999- but now has the USA Sec of State ready to sign us up.
Bill Clinton said in taped interview with CBS News in response to the Muslim world’s response to the 14 minute movie trailer that has them in a rage that “you cannot live in a shame-based world. You won’t make it in the 21st century.”
Except, of course, when shaming suits your agenda.
Total non-sense. Hillary Clinton is not Islamic but she is a feminist. Which means she is not going to push through something that harms women's freedoms which Sharia law would do. She also believes in free speech and has said so on many occasions when it comes to the freedom to criticize other religions including Islam. While she criticized that stupid anti-Muslim film that caused the rioting in the Middle East, she also criticized the extremists for rioting because of the film. I believe in facts, not emotional biased nonsense and fear about another religion due to the acts of a few extremists. As if Christians in this country don't have our extremists. All religious extremists need to grow up! That said, the Muslims in this country, the vast majority of them are very peaceful people and have proven themselves worthy Americans.
DeleteUh, I dont' think you're getting what They Say is Saying. He's looking at it from the globalist perspective. They play a long game and can morph into many roles to get what they want accomplished.
DeleteNo I get what he is saying. To say that the U.S can pass a law that forbids the defamation of religions would be against our constitution's first amendment and would piss off the left as much as it pisses you or others on this blog. It's not going to happen because there are too many in Congress and the Senate that would not go along with it.
DeleteThe first paragraph is Hillary's WORDS I should have put them in quotes.
DeleteThey are attacking the First Amendment - using shame and peer pressure - those are her own words. Using the Liberal Media, and protesters.
It has already begun, just listen to how the Republican Party is being shunned in the Media. And Capitalism, and economic conditions being blamed on ...
The Muslims living here are living in fear of the extremist, or they would be protesting the extremist.
And yes the globalist are using the chaos, but the Muslims are taking it as a green light-hence the OIC pushing the U.N. Resolution 16/18, with Hillary at the table in Turkey.
The left are giving the Lawmakers a pass on a lot of Laws that are against the Constitution.
There is no Liberal Media, it is corporate owned. And, the conservative extremes have a monopoly on the radio and television. One station is considered Liberal and that is MSNBC. But I would add that it is also corporate and limited. Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and the rest are very corporate and pretty conservative, Fox being the most conservative. The Republican is not being shunned by the media and never has been. They've always been favored including on NPR which GOP and conservatives outnumber liberal or even centrist interviews by 3 to 1. Many such studies have concluded so. Hilary is right in this case. There have been many attacks on Muslims including murdering of Sikhs because they were mistaken as Muslim. We need rational adult thinking and not fear based which drives people to violence, including in the U.S. I say "Shame on anyone" if they perpetuate violence on anyone for simply believing in something other than what the nut job extremist believes, whether it is the extremist in the middle east or the extremist film maker of that stupid film. While he has the right to make it, he should be shamed for the ignorance he perpetuates and for the ignoramous he is. BTW, Anti-discrimination laws does not mean limiting freedom of speech. Exactly what laws that are against the Constitution are you talking about that the so called Left are giving lawmakers? Name one.
DeleteThe police to enter a residence on a probable cause only-without a warrant! This is a fact recorded, so don't ask for a instance.
DeleteAl Gore violated the campaign laws and as such violated the 14th Amendment Section 3, That prohibited taking another Oath. Exposing this, (after the election) resulted in the McCain/Feingold - that prohibits negative (Facts of Law Braking) comments about a Candidate 6o days before an election 30 days before the primaries.
There are just to many to list.
And Hillary is forgetting that she took an Oath that she swore to Protect the Constitution. And here she is saying that she
'will adhere to using some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what the muslims abhor'. That is not protecting the 1st Amendment, my friend - you are a friend of the American people aren't you?
And you do know that the OIC is Al Qaeda? At least I hope you are not that ill informed.
Hillary could go the way of the Rosenbergs if this is a stepping stone to stifling our right to speak out about any aggressive Religion!
It was a Court of Law that did in the Rosenbergs. And anyone of Office Holder that does the same will be brought be for the Magistrate.
DeleteYet, nothing Hillary said was against the constitution. I'm an American born and raised. But I don't let emotions guide my views of things. Fear is no way to live life let a lone make political decisions by. There is a thing called reason. Shaming and peer pressure are not against the 1st Amendment. You and I may not like the way Clinton is going about it, but it is not in violation of the Constitution. As far as Gore is concerned, the court never ever ruled that HE was in violation of the 14th Amendment and Section 3 of that Amendment. The right wing extremists on the Supreme Court ruled that the Florida's Supreme Court method of counting ballots was in violation of the 14th Amendment. Florida's election laws allow a candidate to request a county to conduct a manual recount. This is according to Florida's state Constitution. You know, that state's rights thing. when it comes down to it, the fact remains, the people on the Supreme Court selected the president for the rest of us. Then we had 2 wars, and a HUGE budget deficit as a result.
DeleteThe OIC is NOT Al Qaeda. OIC is an organization of Islamic States. Last time I read, Al Qaeda was not an Islamic State. OIC has a delegation of Islamic states to the United Nations as well. Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization, not a delegation to the UN. So whatever information you think you have on OIC, the fact remains it is NOT Al Qaeda as you say.
In terms of aggressive Religion, I'm more worried about Christians who claim rape and any pregnancy as a result is God's plan, than I am of Muslims in or outside this country.
The Constitution does not say it is up to the Court to determine who and if someone has violated any of the Supreme Laws of this country. It only says that the Congress may of a vote of 2/3rd of both Houses remove the disabilities. And YES OIC is MADE UP OF Al Qaeda. You are still wet behind the ears on this and it seem a lot of the forces that are attacking this country's Liberties.
DeleteI've ran up against a lot of the undesirable in nature element and the very thing that keeps them out of Prison for a while is their ability to thread the needle on technical parts of the law and rules that will bury them later on, because every layer exposes the agenda that finally does great harm to their intended victim because the first few layers of attack were no cause for alarm. In other words the victim never saw it coming by ignoring the first signs which their parents told them to watch out for over and over, but believed the con of the aggressor. That is what happened in Yugoslavia; until the people woke up and fought physiologically to regain most of their country back. Then Pres Bubba Clinton helped Al Qaeda take Kosovo. The largest base of operations of Al Qaeda is in Albania. Who took Kosovo? Albania.
BUT, I agree with Republican Mother that the chaos involving the world current events are just diversions to the main goal of eliminating the USA and The Constitution, the biggest threats to Dictators and World Power Seekers, and to weaken the USA so Israel will not have the support when the Rockets have more of the aim, the destructors need - more practice if Israel is to be taken out.
The Muslims are but bit players in this quest for Profit, Population Control, and Power to rule the World. That's a fact jack.
WWI and WWII was only about Profit and Population Control; as is every move for World Governance.
Where's your proof that OIC is Al Qaeda?
DeleteI look at the bigger picture. We are in the middle east controlling the governments there for oil for the big oil corporations that sell it to us in the west. These corporations and our government support corrupt and incredibly cruel governments. The people don't want us there. The fact remains, the more we are there controlling their land, their governments, their natural resources, and the oppression in those countries the more rebellion we are going to see. So simply labeling every insurgency in every Islamic country an act of Al Qaeda, it might be wise to consider how much we fund the torture and the oppression over in their own countries. Kosovo was a civil war of ethnic proportions. Something that the Serbian government started with the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic the ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims. It was not the other way around.
As far as Israel is concerned, I could care less. They made their bed by the acts of their own cruelty of the Palestinians, including the cruelty toward Palestinian Christians. This is their war, not ours.
I gave you prof to your other questions and you completely disregard.
DeleteThe Florida State Supreme Court changed the Rules in the Middle of the Election in 2,000. Bush had every right to go to the U.S Supreme Court and the Supreme Court as well as every Judge in the other 49 States said that the Florida State Supreme Court was NUTS.
Bush won every recount - Who are the idiots you're listening to?
The LEFT MEDIA!
Scheffer and Russart were covering the Florida Recounts when All the Judges threw out Gore's Cases, said, Gore is finding out that there IS a Legal Controlling Authority!
I know people in Yugoslavia and they said Miloslovich (you don't even know how to spell the name) was like anyother Politician - a thief, not a murderer. Those mass graves turned out to be freshly tilled farm lands.
Again, the Al Qaeda's largest base of operations is in Albania. Who took Kosovo? Albania! And who helped? Bubba!
Again, Who are the idiots you're listening to? THE LEFT MEDIA!
Just like Obummer is helping The Arab Spring/The Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda Take Israel.
We know enemies of the U.S. don't care about Israel. It don't matter if our enemies were born here or not.
It's Milosevic. Oh yes, I forgot all the accents and such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87
DeleteFreshly tiled farmlands? Really? And, who are you reading right wing nut job sites? Kosovo declared itself an independent Republic on 17 February 2008. All of Kosovo's neighbors,including Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Hungary recognize Kosovo's independence. The only country that borders Kosovo that doesn't recognize it is Serbia. Kosovo has a very small population of Serbs compared to Albania yet, they don't recognize it's independence, hmmm. The U.S also recognizes Kosovo's independent status.
Al Qaeda is not taking Israel. Give me a break.
Which enemies are you talking about? Even friends of the U.S don't want the U.S to be dragged into an Israeli started fight. If you take the side of Israel over the U.S what exactly does that make YOU?
I know these are OFF TOPIC but They were in the U.N. today 11/19/2012
ReplyDeleteThis is just another Shadow Government Attack against the USA Citizens.
Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC)
Around the world, Christians are being increasingly targeted, and even persecuted, for their religious beliefs. Now, one of the largest organizations in the United Nations is pushing to make a bad situation even worse by promoting anti-Christian bigotry wrapped in the guise of a U.N. resolution called Combating Defamation of Religions. We must put an immediate end to this most recent, dangerous attack on faith that attempts to criminalize Christianity; and now, Freedom of Speech.
Religious Freedoms on shaky ground at U.N.
This link explains what is happening now;
In order to properly understand the philosophy behind “defamation or religion”, it is instructive to go to the source, in this case, the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) countries, which have designed the concept. An examination of the OIC conception of human rights in the areas of religious freedom and expression shows a distinct conflict with the international bill of human rights. Most tellingly, the implementation of domestic laws to combat defamation of religion in many OIC countries reveal a selective enforcement towards religious minorities for violations, which are often punishable by the death penalty.
The new tactic is now Suppression of Freedom of Speech.
The battle for Your Soul is on!
These Muslims will not rest until Sharia Law is the Law of the World!
And we convert or lose our heads!
You forgot the other side. The fact that Christians around the world are murdering innocent Muslim children too. That's fact. There is no battle for your soul unless you are willing to give it away on your own accord. There is no battle for Sharia Law in this country. It wouldn't pass in either houses or the White House. Is there any reasoning capability in the Teaparty? I'm truly beginning to wonder.
DeleteIf you are saying that the US is a Christian nation and our bombs are killing Muslim children with the drones, etc., I can see your point. But unlike many of my fellow fundamentalists, I would argue that America is not currently a Christian nation, and the prevalence of satanic cults in the military may have something to do with how crazy things have gotten.
DeleteI agree that the battle for Sharia Law in this country is a ruse by the globalists to distract us from the ongoing process of consolidation and control.
Wrong on two points. One, our nation is not a Christian Nation, it is a secular nation with a lot of different believing Christians in it. It's always been a secular nation based on principles of the Enlightenment philosophies of Montesquieu, Locke and Rousseau. It's never been a Christian nation in that regards. The founders of the country didn't want a religious state for a reason. We need to keep it that way. Second, I'm talking about Christians living in places like Indonesia and elsewhere in the developing world who also attack and kill Muslims. It doesn't make news here in the states but that doesn't mean it's not happening. It's fact.
DeleteHowever, that said, there are many Christians organizing with Muslims in Gaza against Israel's attacks and against Zionism.
Good GRIEF Anon, do you have a reading comprehension problem? I said clearly up above that America is not a Christian nation. It is a fact, however, that the majority of Americans making up the population in the first generation of the United States were devoutly Christian people, Jefferson and the rest notwithstanding.
DeleteI've not heard that Christians were attacking Muslims in Indonesia, but I have heard how Christians get beheaded over there. I would like to see a reference to prove that. What I've noticed is that whenever American-backed jihadis get rebellious, its the Christians that end up at the wrong end of the gun.
RM, You said "I would argue that America is not currently a Christian nation" implying that we were once a Christian nation. When in fact we were never a Christian nation. We have always been a secular nation with a lot of Christians in it. Many of which do not believe in your particular theology. I'll try to dig up the news sources I've read in previous months. The fact remains however, that most Muslims die at the hand of other Muslims. Shiites and Sunnies hate each other and are constantly killing each other. I attribute most of the violence in these regions more to ignorance, poverty, young males with no hope for the future, and in many cases a very oppressive theocratic government. The same governments that we support in weapons that they use on their own people. Then people wonder why they hate the U.S. The other fact that never seems to get raised is that the vast majority of Muslims are not radical Muslims. This is the part of the rhetoric that bothers me that people just do not get. It is the radical extremist Muslims who carry out the attacks and their number in comparison to the entire Muslim population are low. Which ultimately is the real issue. The media over looks it and my guess is that it is intentional. Yes, Muslims attack the Christians because they mistakenly think the U.S is a Christian nation because we have idiots like the minister who burned the Koran or the idiot who made the anti-Islam film. While I support their right to free speech, they are pretty stupid for doing what they did in full conscious awareness of the consequences that could mean. I mean seriously, how freaking narcissistic and selfish can you be to do this knowing full well that the retaliation would happen against innocent people? I do not give them a pass for what they did. Nor do I give the people who kill in the name of their god a pass for what they do no matter what the religion. They are all idiots.
DeleteThe issues in Nigeria are not only religious but economic. The government is almost 100% Christian and the nation is divided about 50/50 into Christian and Muslim. So the tensions are not only religious.
But to be clear, we do not have that problem in the U.S as you know. The Muslims are not going to take over the U.S There is no what in hell that will happen. The people in this country would never have it one bit. I don't fear Muslims terrorists for this reason. We have enough religious idiots to worry about that want to turn this country into a Christian theocracy. NO THANKS to both!
