Killing off the surplus population (that would be &quot;cannon fodder&quot; to Maurice Strong) is unfortunately &lt;em&gt;too&lt;/em&gt; easy in Third World countries.
With the currency-collapse imminent from Greece to Western Europe &lt;em&gt;in addition&lt;/em&gt; to the exponential increase in Islamic influence, it&#039;s going to get easier there as well.

Up here, everything about hydro-fracturing is pure FUD, and Andrew Cuomo is tearing an Alinsky page from Obama&#039;s playbook. At first, fracking was prohibited. Now, the state environmental agency is &quot;permitting&quot; fracking. Go ahead and guess how many permits have been issued and how fast they&#039;re being issued.

		<description><![CDATA[......don&#039;t forget, this may be the last FREE ELECTION in the U.S.






They&#039;ll come after the Natural Gas Industry &quot;frackers&quot;.




They&#039;ll come after the Oil industry &quot;polluters&quot;.




They&#039;ll come after our gasoline fueled vehicles (Chu and his Energy Department and the EPA).




.....and they are coming after ANY OPPOSITION to the THUG-IN-CHIEF.



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Internal Revenue Service is signaling that &lt;strong&gt;it will increase its scrutiny of tax-exempt political organizations&lt;/strong&gt;, which are becoming a force in elections by raising tens of millions of dollars from undisclosed donors.


The IRS has been corresponding with such groups and is preparing questions to ask them as part of effort to determine whether their fundraising or advertising work runs afoul of tax law. IRS spokesman Terry Lemons said on Thursday the scrutiny will affect a range of tax-exempt groups.


The move comes as such tax-exempt groups - many of which have better-known sister organizations known as &quot;Super PACs,&quot; or political action committees - are under criticism from Democrats and some Republicans for using money from anonymous sources to try to influence elections.


Like Super PACs, tax-exempt political groups can raise and spend unlimited funds - in contrast to political campaigns, which may receive only $2,500 per donor each election cycle.


Super PACs, which must disclose their donors, operate independently from campaigns but may release ads that boost or attack specific candidates.


Tax-exempt groups, meanwhile, can qualify under the U.S. tax code as social welfare groups, which allows them to keep their donors private as long as most of their money is spent on so-called &quot;issue ads.&quot; Unlike regular political ads, such ads cannot use a candidate&#039;s name or likeness and are supposed to be used to educate the public on broad issues or positions.


But some ads released by tax-exempt groups have pushed those boundaries, raising questions about the groups&#039; legal status and calls for them to be forced to disclose their donors, as Super PACs do.


&lt;strong&gt;This month, Democratic President Barack Obama&#039;s re-election campaign asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to force Crossroads GPS, a tax-exempt group founded by former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove, to register as a PAC and disclose its donors.
&lt;/strong&gt;


Crossroads - which alongside its Super PAC sister plans to spend up to $300 million on the November elections - has drawn criticism for releasing video ads that Democrats say are more political than educational. One recent Crossroads ad featured an image of Obama and said, &quot;Obama says spend more. We need jobs, not more Washington insider deals.&quot;


Such ads seek to avoid being deemed political by the FEC by ending with a call for viewers to take action - such as to write to Obama - rather than call directly for Obama to be ousted from office.


FOLLOWING THE RULES?


A Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday indicated that an IRS probe was under way for large &lt;strong&gt;conservative&lt;/strong&gt; tax-exempt groups such as Crossroads and Americans for Prosperity, which is funded in part by the oil and gas tycoons David and Charles Koch.




&lt;strong&gt;The energy industry is only one icon of freedom that the regime is after.&lt;/strong&gt;
