Why does the losing side in politics always become obsessed with conspiracy theories?
During Bush’s presidency, Liberals could often be seen wearing a tinfoil hat screaming about fascist lizard people and the "truth" behind 9/11. Now it’s the conservatives flipping out about "The New World Order" and the Illuminati. Ever since the Arizona law, I’ve been reading illegals writing about "A New World Order" and other assorted conspiracy theories. Why is this?
Because neither side (with their certain bias) can believe it’s both sides. Here it is:
The New World Order (Phase 1) has been here since 1913 when the Illuminati Banksters created the Federal Reserve, The Creature from Jekyll Island.
Since then, government has issued bonds (UNsecured notes of obligations) and the Fed has simply written the government a check and printed the money. Government puts us in debt without the debt being funded by taxes.
Through this and fractional reserve lending, the money supply increases and you and I pay for it through inflation. It’s a hidden tax and the common man gets assessed by the richest people in the world.
The Illuminati Banksters collect the interest from the debt and their banks gets rich off the PRIVATE CARTEL, the Federal Reserve. They loved the $5 Trillion to $50 Trillion increase in debt under Geo Bush. They have enjoyed, and directly benefited from the BAILOUT of [unknown] Trillions. They will enjoy the health care debt of Obama.
The New World Order will be (continues to be) Modern-day Feudalism where the rich assess the poor.
The NEXT STEP will be for OUR Federal Reserve to Bailout the EURO.
Watch out for that! That has the potential of causing an enormous amount of chaos and unrest that could lead to martial law.
Want to get rid of them once and for all? Rid the Fed and stop the game-rigging.
Prescott Bush = Skull & Bones = Illuminati
Geo HW Bush = Skull & Bones = Illuminati
Jimmy Carter = Trilateral commission = Illuminati
FDR = Illminati Bankster = Illuminati
Geo Bush = Skull & Bones = Illuminati
Dick Cheney = CFR = Illuminati
Zbigniew Brzezinski = bad news
Clinton = Rhodes scholar = Illuminati
the list goes on and on
The Truth About "free" Credit Reports
We set the record straight so that won’t happen. Text How many of us have looked at anything offered to us for “free”? Not me? Of course I have. In this day in age when gas prices are listed as “Arm” and “Leg”, providing health insurance for your family costs more than some mortgage payments and the cost of raising kids looks like a hockey stick pasted onto a graph, you bet I look at offers to save money.
Therein lie’s the problem. It seems like the vast majority of American consumers are desperate to cut costs, any costs, and will jump too soon at offers promising to do just that. Sometimes when you combine a cost cutting mentality with the importance of credit, not only to purchase the big ticket items important to us, but more and more to simply survive in this economy, desperation happens. Unfortunately, the marketers know this too. So, without a little education anyone can get confused and the likelihood of being taken advantage of increases significantly. The good news is that just a little education will save you plenty.
Take for example, the term “Free Credit Report”. It now ranks right up there with the ubiquitous, “new” and “improved”. “Free Credit Report” has become part of that lexicon of advertising buzz words that are absolutely meaningless to me. But for many, there is much confusion over this term. Why? I think mainly because it has been announced that federal law dictates we are all entitled to a free credit report on the front page of all the newspapers.
We know everyone wants a free credit report, which is why we started our site. People naturally want something that is mandated by law to be at no cost, is front page news and is so incredibly important to each of us if we want to purchase just about anything. We know people want their free credit report and because most all of us work so hard for our money, we think people deserve hearing the truth about the subject. That is why we even put a section on our page entitled, “The Truth About Free Credit Reports”.
So, is it not true? Yes, it is true, it’s just that the devil is in the details and the resulting confusion has been a bonanza for those seeking to cash in on the confusion. In fact, each of us in the good ole U. S. of A. is entitled to a free credit report. But, how do you get it? Where do you get it? Who is giving it to you? Why is it being offered for free? And most importantly, who cannot offer you one for free?
Who cannot offer a free credit report? Let’s start with the last one first because it shines a lot of light on the rest of the questions. Any company, web site or service that is in business for a profit and is not named Experian, Trans Union or Equifax is not able to provide anyone at any time with anything remotely resembling a credit report free of cost. Period. End of story. Got that? Further, there is one place set up on the web to get free copies of credit reports at no cost and it is: www.annualcreditreport.com . We’ll talk more about this site a little later but, other wise, caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.
How then are these offers being made? Look closely, the “Free” report is usually offered initially upon signing up for a service that charges your credit card each month for monitoring your credit. If you cancel the service just in the nick of time, before the charge is made to your card, you will get it at no cost. What a hassle! And the bet is you will wake up at least one, if not a couple or more months later with several charges to your card. You think these guys make foolish bets?!
Then what caused a free credit report to be offered on the front page of newspapers, who is providing them and how and where do I get one? Due to the importance of consumer credit history, identity theft and complaints from consumer rights groups about having to purchase a credit report in order to gain knowledge about the contents shown on individual consumer reports, even if it was reported inaccurately, a change was mandated.
The Fair and Accurate Consumer Trade Act (FACTA), a revision of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, provided for one credit report free of charge from the reporting agencies (Experian, Trans Union and Equifax) every twelve months, if and only if, you haven’t received a credit report in the previous twelve months. The consumer, by either mailing a written request to the three major credit reporting agencies or going to www.annualcreditreport.com one can obtain the free report if they meet the criteria. This program was and is being phased in to sections of the U.S. by the credit reporting agencies starting in the western states, with the northeastern states at the time of this writing still to come.
However, Pamela Yip of The Dallas Morning News writes that even this has not been without its problems.
“The Federal Trade Commission said Experian Information Solutions Inc., one of the three major credit bureaus, settled complaints that it “deceptively marketed ‘free credit reports’ by not adequately disclosing that consumers automatically would be signed up for a credit report monitoring service and charged $79.95 if they didn’t cancel within 30 days… . With the help of the Federal Trade Commission, the bureaus established www.annualcreditreport.com as the only authorized online source for consumers to get a free report under federal law.
While many consumers haven’t had any problem getting their reports, others say they’ve been hit with sales pitches for products and services from the credit bureaus or were diverted to imposter sites. The FTC said the company led consumers to its www.freecredit report.com and www.consumer info.com Web sites. Radio, TV, e-mail and Web ads promised free reports and “a bonus – free trials of a credit-monitoring service.”
The FTC said consumers “were assured that: ‘Your card will not be charged during the free trial period. However, valid credit card information is required to establish your account.’ ”
What the Web sites didn’t adequately disclose is that consumers would be charged the $79.95 annual fee if they didn’t cancel within 30 days, the FTC said.
“ConsumerInfo billed the credit cards that it had told consumers were ‘required only to establish your account,’ and, in some cases, automatically renewed memberships by rebilling consumers without notice,” the agency said.
As part of the settlement, the FTC required ConsumerInfo.com, an Experian company, to “give up $950,000 in ill-gotten gains.”
Experian also has agreed to provide refunds to consumers who purchased credit-monitoring products and ordered a free credit report between Nov. 1, 2000, and Sept. 15, 2003.
“It’s unfair and deceptive to promise consumers something for free and then trick them into paying for products they didn’t want in the first place,” said Lydia Parnes, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
“It wasn’t an attempt to mislead at all,” said Peg Smith, an Experian executive vice president. “We absolutely deny any wrongdoing.” She does acknowledge that consumers may have been confused.
“To the effect that our product offering has caused that confusion, we certainly regret that,” Ms. Smith said. “We encourage consumers to read the language in any disclosure on any Web site, including our own.”
The FTC also requires ConsumerInfo.com to state clearly that its free credit report offer isn’t related to the federal program.” http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=list&p_topdoc=21
The reality is that no one credit report or combination of three credit reports by and of themselves is sufficient to educate oneself about where you stand as a consumer in the eyes of a lender. Imagine a high speed race boat zooming across a lake at top speed without a steering wheel. Where it is going is a complete mystery but one thing is for sure, it will crash and crash quickly unless you get control. That’s right, you. Because without your credit scores and the knowledge about what they mean, how they were calculated or how a lender views them, you are headed for a crash.
No bank, credit card issuer, mortgage company, retail store or any other credit provider will grant you any item, service or product without looking almost exclusively at your credit scores and the average person has no idea what their scores are and even if they did, many if not most, wouldn’t know what they mean.
For example, most people don’t even know that repeated “pulling” of your credit reports by potential credit grantors lowers your scores by as much as four points per “pull”. You start “shopping” around for the best rate on a credit card by allowing each credit issuer to run a credit report on you and your score will take a dive. The difference between a 699 score and a 700 represents thousands and thousands of dollars in interest.
Often, credit issuers don’t make it perfectly clear that your credit history is being accessed when you respond to their offer for a new card over the phone. The call center sales representative also doesn’t explain and state clearly to you, that your credit history will show an “official inquiry” which counts against your scores whether you are accepted or rejected.
Most people don’t know that a maxed out credit card lowers their scores even if they pay on time every month. Many don’t know until it is too late that one late payment on one credit card will cause the interest rate charged to skyrocket not only on that card but any other cards that have a balance! Most also don’t know that a credit card balance showing less than thirty per cent of the available balance improves the score. Most don’t know that in calculating credit scores, your payment history counts as 35% of the score, amounts owed count 30% of the score, length of your credit history counts 15% of the score, new credit is 10% of the score and types of credit in use is 10%.
What is the truth about free credit reports? The truth, is that consumers need to read the fine print very, very carefully and get educated. The truth about credit reports in general is that only part of the story is being told by one. The truth, is that knowledge is power and without it your money is being taken from you, your buying power and therefore your future is being dictated to you rather than by you and that the cost of everything including insurance is based on your scores.
If asked for my advice to the average consumer? Worry less about getting a “free” report and more about the real cost of being ignorant regarding credit. Worry more about the immediate and long term costs of not taking control of what is reported on your credit report both the correct and incorrect. Gain some credit knowledge. It is easy to do and will literally save you a fortune. One thing is absolutely for sure, your money and future and your children’s future will be severely impacted by your credit. How, is up to you.

Using the Internet to Shop and Buy the Best Rugs From Across the World
A large variety of rugs are available in the market; the types include Oriental rugs, contemporary rugs, and Exclusive Pattern Rugs among many other types. Each type of rug has its own specialty. Some are hand woven and present some very good patterns. Others are produced on machines and are comparatively cheaper that handmade.
If you go to the local market, you do not get enough range to choose from. They have some pieces from different categories of the rugs. Some may not even have the kind of rugs you want. Roaming around from one store to another will take up time and at the end of the day, you will either come home without purchasing anything or purchasing a substitute. Purchasing rugs involves several basics that you should know.
Wholesalers and Retailers
One of the best options is to shop online. With the rug manufacturers going online, you can find a whole lot of rugs. For bulk orders, you can get on to the manufacturing unit’s website and have an opportunity to bag the lot at the factory price. You may or may not have to pay shipping charges. It depends on how much you order or how far the unit is from your home.
Other than the manufacturing units, the retailers and wholesalers also have their presence on the internet. You can not only check out the retailers in your own city, but also across the countries. This means that you can find some exceptionally cheap prices!
Prices and Margins
Those who deal in rugs, order in bulk from the country the rugs are manufactured from and thus save on the shipping charges. They then levy the extra charges plus margin to sell it to you when you go to purchase the rugs physically. This means you are giving an opportunity to make more profits to the retailer.
Internet Research
A focused research on the internet does make a difference. Internet information is supported by the reviews of the customers so you can trust these. Visit the different stores on the internet. You can search by types or categories i.e. oriental, contemporary, exclusive pattern rug or any other category. You can also search by the cities and states. If you intend to buy these rugs in a substantial quantity, you can check out the wholesalers too. While you can Google your requirements, it is better to use the online yellow pages of an entire state or county. “The yellow pages” offers you the location information as well.
Details Available Online
First of all, you need to decide the type of rug you need. Once you decide the type of rug and the budget, you can start looking for a rug in that range. The images and videos of the rugs also are displayed, so you can grasp the overall look of the rugs. You also get the necessary details such as the material used, cost per unit, shipping charges, and discounts etc.
Discounts
One of the advantages of shopping online for the rugs online is that you will very often find a store that offers some kind of special with every purchase, which can range from free rebate coupons to lucky draws for a vacation.
Make the most of your shopping experience for rugs. Select from the range available from all over the world. Just see to it that the rug price plus shipping charges minus the discount is under your budget. Also make sure that you take the tracking ID for the order so that you can track the position of your consignment. Happy shopping!
