Here's what happened when the US government "sold" the money system to private individuals..
"Readily available credit has made America “the land of opportunity” ever since the days of the American colonists. What has transformed this credit system into a Ponzi scheme that must continually be propped up with bailout money is that the credit power has been turned over to private parties who always require more money back than they create in the first place."
The greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. Capitalism is NOT the problem...private ownwership of the Capitalism IS!
It should be remembered that even Communism had to be Capitalized. This is why modern Capitalists do not care what kind of government people have, as long as THEY own the money system...

'Christ'- Mass: Biblical, Christian 'Holy Day' or Pagan, Romanist 'Holiday' ?
Was the Messiah born on December 25th? No, He was not.
He was likely born during the Biblical Feast of Tabernacles (e.g., John 1:14).
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt [tabernacled] among us,..." John 1:14, KJB
_______________________________________________________________________
"Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen...for the CUSTOMS of the people are vain" (Jer. 10:1-3).
"Christmas is coming! Quite so: but what is "Christmas?" Does not the very term itself denote it's source - "Christ-mass."
Thus it is of Roman origin, brought over from paganism. But, says someone, Christmas is the time when we
commemorate the Savior's birth. It is? And WHO authorized such commemoration? Certainly God did not. The Redeemer bade His disciples "remember" Him in His death, but there is not a word in scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, which tells us to celebrate His birth...."
"Does any Christian reader imagine for a moment that when he or she shall stand before their holy Lord, that they will regret having lived "too strictly" on earth? Is there the slightest danger of His reproving any of His own because they were "too extreme" in "abstaining from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul"
(1 Peter 2:11)? We may gain the good will and good works of worldly religionists today by our compromising on "little (?) points," but shall we receive His smile and approval on that day? Oh to be more concerned about what HE thinks, and less concerned about what perishing mortals think."

“Puritans (in both England and New England) nor confessional Presbyterians recognized so called "holy" days.
The only special days to be recognized by the church were the Lord's Day and days of fasting or thanksgiving, the latter days called on the occasion of significant providential events."
"There is no biblical warrant for special services connected with December 25th. Church meeting places should in general be simple and plain, without images or decorations. The pure preaching of the Word of God, the simple administration of the sacraments and the scriptural worship of God’s gathered people provide all the adornment needed for our assembly places. Faith comes by preaching, not by evergreen trees, colored lights, nativity pageants, or manger scenes with an idolatrous image of the Christ child."
"While a Christian might resent the general hostile anti-Christian attitude of the ACLU and businesses, in truth, Christ NEVER WAS IN Christ-MASS.”
"The MASS is an idolatrous perversion of the biblical ordinance of the Lord’s Supper."

The Origin and Practices of Christmas: Christian or Pagan ?
______________________________________________________________________
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS AND CALENDARS - AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC HANDBOOK, 1993
Christmas Day
December 25
Christmas is the day on which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic Church designates it as a day of holy obligation on which members of the Church must attend services.
Originally, the birth of Jesus was commemorated in the East on the Feast of Epiphany (January 6) but by 354, the Christmas Feast had taken hold in the West and was observed on December 25. Since the fifth century, most Eastern Orthodox Churches have celebrated the Nativity on December 25; however, some Eastern congregations, called "Old Calendarists," still use the Julian calendar and honor the birth of Christ thirteen days later, on January 7. The Armenian Church continues to celebrate "Old Christmas" on January 6.
As with many traditions surrounding Christmas, the selection of December 25 as a commemoration of Jesus' birthday may be an example of the blending of Christian ideas and the pagan traditions they replaced. December 25 was the date of the Mithric observance of the "Birthday of the Invincible Sun." This also coincided with Saturnalia and the Winter solstice during the period when Mithraism was practiced in Rome. Since the day was already being kept as a holiday, Christians may have adjusted the symbolism of the day, declaring it the birthday of their "Invincible Son." According to events in the Gospel of Matthew, the date of Jesus' birth may actually have taken place much earlier in the year.
The word "Christmas" means "the mass of Christ," and originated in the 11th century as a name for this feast. It was one of the most popular and universally celebrated holidays in Europe during the Middle Ages. During the Reformation, however, the celebration of Christmas began to decline in importance. Reformers engaged in complex doctrinal arguments in an attempt to prove the celebration of Christmas was unscriptural.
In some countries, the Protestant reforms brought about a ban of Christmas celebrations. By the time of the Restoration in 1660, however, the celebration of Christmas as a much more secular holiday was revived in these countries. In New England, Christmas remained outlawed until the mid-nineteenth century, and in Boston classes were held in the public schools on Christmas Day until 1870, with pupils who missed school that day being punished or dismissed. The mass
immigration of Irish Catholics to New England brought about the reinstitution of Christmas celebrations.
_______________________________________________________________________
"Christmas.", DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA, 1990
Both the northern European and North American custom of exchanging gifts at Christmas... are possibly related to pre-Christian celebrations at the close of the year. The celebration of Christmas has sometimes been opposed as pagan by religious leaders. New England Puritans considered Christmas "popish" idolatry, and the Massachusetts General Court in 1659 passed an act against its celebration, though the law was repealed in 1681."
______________________________________________________________________
"Christmas", THE WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. 3, "C-Ch", 1997
"The first mention of December 25 as the birth date of Jesus occurred in A.D. 336 in an early Roman calendar. The celebration of this day as Jesus' birth date was probably influenced by pagan [unchristian] festivals held at that time. The ancient Romans held year-end celebrations to honor Saturn, their harvest god; and Mithras, the [sic] god of light... As part of all these celebrations, the people prepared special foods, decorated their homes with greenery, and joined in singing and gift giving.
These customs gradually became part of the Christmas celebration."
"In the late 300's, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire... The popularity of Christmas grew until the Reformation, a religious movement of the 1500's. This movement gave birth to Protestantism. During the Reformation, many Christians began to consider Christmas a pagan celebration because it included nonreligious customs. During the 1600's, because of these feelings, Christmas was outlawed in England and in parts of the English colonies in America."
_______________________________________________________________________
"Christmas", COLLIER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA, Vol. 6, 1992
"... The suppression of the Mass during the Reformation led to a sharp change in the observance of Christmas in some countries. In England, the Puritans condemned the celebration and, from 1642 to 1652, issued a series of ordinances forbidding all church services and festivities. This feeling was carried over to America by the Pilgrims and it was not until the nineteenth-century wave of Irish and German immigration that enthusiasm for the feast began to spread throughout the country. Objections were swept aside and the old traditions revived among Protestants as well as Catholics."

THE CHRISTMAS WREATH
The use of evergreens and wreaths as symbols of life was an ancient custom of the Egyptians, Chinese, and Hebrews, among other peoples. Tree worship was a common feature of religion among the Teutonic and Scandinavian peoples of northern Europe before their conversion to Christianity. They decorated houses and barns with evergreens at the new year to scare away demons, and they often set up trees for the birds in winter. For these northern Europeans, this winter celebration was the happiest time of the year because it signified that the shortest day of the year--about December 21--had passed. They knew the days would start to get longer and brighter. The month during which this festival took place was named Jol, from which the word yule is derived. Yule has come to mean Christmas in some countries.
THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Trees and decorations. Ancient, pre-Christian winter festivals used greenery, lights, and fires to symbolize life and warmth in the midst of cold and darkness. These usages, like gift giving, have also persisted.
CHRISTMAS GIFT GIVING
Gift giving is one of the oldest customs associated with Christmas: it is actually older than the holiday itself. When the date of Christmas was set to fall in December, it was done at least in part to compete with ancient pagan festivals that occurred about the same time. The Romans, for example, celebrated the Saturnalia on December 17.
It was a winter feast of merrymaking and gift exchanging. And two weeks later, on the Roman New Year--January 1, houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and gifts were given to children and the poor. As the Germanic tribes of Europe accepted Christianity and began to celebrate Christmas, they also gave gifts.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE
There are several stories about the origin of the Christmas tree. People in Scandinavia once worshipped trees. When they became Christians, they made evergreen trees part of Christian festivals.
The Custom of decorating homes and churches with evergreens began in ancient times. The Romans exchanged green tree branches for good luck on the Calends (first day) of January. The English took this custom over for Christmas.
THE YULE LOG
The custom of burning the Juul (pronounced yool) came from the Norse and Anglo-Saxons. They burned a huge oak log once a year to honor Thor, the god of thunder. After the Norse became Christians, they made the yule log an important part of their Christmas ceremonies. The Scandinavians adopted the word yule to mean Christmas. In Lithuania, the word for Christmas actually means log evening. The yule log became equally important in England. The English considered it good luck to keep an unburned part of the log to light next year's yule log.
MISTLETOE
Mistletoe decorates many homes in the United States, Canada, and Europe at Christmastime. No one knows exactly how mistletoe became connected with Christmas. Ancient Celtic priests, called Druids, used to give people sprigs of the plant as a charm. Hundreds of years ago, some people in Europe used it at religious gatherings.
HISTORY
In A.D. 354, Bishop Liberius of Rome ordered the people to celebrate on December 25. He probably chose this date because the people of Rome already observed it as the Feast of Saturn, celebrating the birthday of the sun.

SOME CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS
"When we give or receive Christmas gifts, and hang green wreaths in our homes and churches, how many of us know that we are probably observing pagan customs? We do not wish to assert that they are not good customs; but they undoubtedly prevailed long before Christian times. The Romans gave presents on New Year's Day, and our bestowing of gifts at Christmas is a survival of that practice, as well as a commemoration of the offerings of the Magi at Bethlehem. The Yule-log, a feature of Christmas in old England, goes back to the days of the pirate Norsemen. Holly and mistletoe and wreaths of evergreen have been handed down to us by the Druids. And even our friend Santa Claus, that mysterious benefactor of our childhood days, existed in one form or another long before Christianity had attributed his virtues to St. Nicholas; for the god Woden, in Norse mythology, descended upon the earth yearly between December 25 and January 6 to bless mankind.
But, pagan though they be, they are beautiful customs. They help to inspire us with the spirit of "good will" even as the sublime services of our Church remind us of the "peace on earth" which the Babe of Bethlehem came to bestow. May that spirit fill the heart of each of us on every Christmas Day!"

Concerning Messiah’s birth, most serious Bible scholars know that the Messiah was not born on December 25.
They freely admit that it was a pagan holiday and many sources will even go so far as to admit that it was the birthday of Mithra (also known as ‘Tammuz’ by the Babylonians and as ‘Esus’ by the Druids)—a pagan deity that was proclaimed by his followers as the savior.

It is my understanding that the Saviour was most likely born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34) which is celebrated according to the Jewish lunar (Biblical) calendar around our modern-day months of September or October."

"I do not observe "Christ"-Mass because I do not believe it is a Biblical, Christian Holy Day; neither in its origins, nor in much of its worldly practice, although many Christians erroneously see it as a time to celebrate Messiah's birth. It is yet another example of Biblical Christianity polluted by the ungodly leaven of Roman Catholicism, which is itself rooted in Babylonian paganism.
It is my understanding that the Saviour was most likely born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34) which is celebrated according to the Jewish lunar (Biblical) calendar around our modern-day months of September or October."

Even jury hiring is frozen
To cut costs, New Hampshire courts won't hold criminal or civil jury trials for a month. At least 19 other states have slashed court budgets and other state services.
By Bob Drogin December 22, 2008
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-courts22-2008dec22,0,387609.story
Reporting from Brentwood, N.H. -- Come February, the red-brick Rockingham County Courthouse, one of New Hampshire's busiest, will arraign criminal suspects, process legal motions and otherwise deal with murders, mayhem and contract disputes. What it won't do is hold jury trials. The economic storm has come to this: Justice is being delayed or disrupted in state courtrooms across the country.
Full coverage: Financial crisis
Financially strapped New Hampshire has become a poster child for the problem. Among other cost-cutting measures, state courts will halt for a month all civil and criminal jury trials early next year to save $73,000 in jurors' per diems. Officials warn they may add another four-week suspension. "It brings our system almost to a screeching halt," said county prosecutor James M. Reams. His aides are scrambling to reschedule 77 criminal trials that were on the February docket. "All the effort to subpoena witnesses and prepare for those trials is right out the window," Reams said, frustration in his voice. "Internally, it's a monumental waste of time. We'll have to redo everything."
At least 19 other states, including California, have slashed court budgets and other government services as their economies have tanked, said Daniel Hall, vice president of the National Center for State Courts, a nonprofit in Williamsburg, Va. "Courts are there to provide a fair and impartial resolution of disputes," Hall said. "When you start affecting that, you affect who we are." California cut its judicial branch budget by more than $200 million, or about 10%, in the current fiscal year, and further reductions are almost certain as the state grapples with a projected $40-billion deficit. A Republican proposal unveiled last week, for example, would trim a further $205 million from the judiciary. H.D. Palmer, spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's finance department, said it was "not yet clear" whether the judiciary would be granted an exemption to the governor's order to reduce state payrolls by 10% through layoffs and unpaid furloughs. Criminal defendants have a constitutional right to a speedy trial. Judges usually give such trials priority over civil cases involving broken sidewalks, medical malpractice and the like. As a result, civil litigation and family law cases are bearing the brunt of the disruptions. And cascading bankruptcies, foreclosures and business disputes have only increased the backlog. After two rounds of budget cuts in Florida, courts have laid off 280 clerks, lawyers and other staff members, and cut funding for a judges' unit that helps resolve civil disputes. State legislators meeting next month are expected to demand more spending cuts. An additional 10% reduction would mean "all civil cases in the state of Florida would virtually be suspended," Belvin Perry Jr., chief judge of Florida's 9th Judicial Circuit and chairman of a trial court budget commission, warned a legislative committee in Tallahassee this month. In Vermont, state Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul L. Reiber recently proposed closing as many as seven county courts, as well as laying off employees, to help ease a budget deficit. The state already shuts district and family courts half a day each week to save money. "None of our choices are good," Reiber conceded in a memo to court employees. With rising joblessness and falling revenues, New Hampshire projects a budget deficit this year of $250 million. The crisis has forced Gov. John Lynch to seek spending cuts across state government, including the judicial system. John T. Broderick, chief justice of the state Supreme Court, has carved $2.7 million from the judicial budget. In addition to the one-month halt in jury trials and trimming back courtroom security, seven of the state's 59 judgeships will be left vacant through June, when the fiscal year ends. Three of the empty slots are in trial courts. Worse, Broderick said, he may need to suspend jury trials for another month, and leave open a Supreme Court slot after one of the five justices retires in February. It is the state's only appellate court. "In my 36 years here as a lawyer and judge, I've never felt as insecure about the state courts in terms of operations and resources as I do now," Broderick said. Robert J. Lynn, chief justice of the superior courts, which conduct all New Hampshire jury trials, said he fears the delays inevitably will cause damage. "There is some element of 'justice delayed, justice denied,' no doubt about it," he said.
Christopher Keating, executive director of the New Hampshire Public Defender program, said his chief concern now is "people in custody who will endure delays in getting their day in court." The state Supreme Court threw out two criminal cases this year because trials did not begin within six months of arraignment, the legal limit. Prosecutors fear more cases may be dismissed.
Delays in jury trials in 2001 and 2002, during a previous budget crisis, caused less disruption because they involved fewer cases, said John Safford, Superior Court clerk in the Hillsborough County district that includes Manchester, the largest city. This time, he needs to reschedule up to 100 trials. "I've been here 30 years," he said. "This is the worst I've ever seen it."
The delays may encourage some defendants to seek plea deals, or litigants to settle out of court. Some counties are advocating out-of-court mediation and conflict resolution. But other cases may face new hurdles as time passes. "Witnesses die, memories fade; things happen when trials are delayed," said John Hutson, dean of Franklin Pierce Law Center, the state's only law school. "Then you'll get a bow wave of cases, so they pile up the next month and it's hard to catch up." The slowdown has unnerved many residents in the state, where granite-hewn courthouses often anchor Colonial-era town squares. "You're talking about erosion of our fundamental civic fabric," said Ellen J. Shemitz, executive director of the New Hampshire Assn. for Justice, which represents civil trial attorneys. James J. Tenn Jr., incoming president of the state's bar association, said that as the crisis has grown, New Hampshire courts have been slow to process orders, respond to lawyers' requests and "do the daily work." "We've just seen delay after delay after delay," said David Slawsky, a civil lawyer in Manchester. "The court process is breaking down." Dennis Ducharme, a Manchester attorney, received cancellation notices last week for four personal injury cases scheduled for trial next year. He worries that a delay of six months, perhaps longer, will make witnesses less willing to testify. "The longer you drag it out, the more reluctant people become to cooperate," he said. In Newport, in the rural west, lawyer Lisa Wellman-Ally has seen a property rights trial postponed four times. Each time, she has prepared 100 exhibits, re-subpoenaed witnesses, refreshed her arguments and billed her client for the time. "Then we would get bounced again," she said. No new trial date has been scheduled.

"A Fundamentalist Christian Looks at Fundamentalist Islam!" by Don Boys, Ph.D.
Have American Christians misread or misinterpreted historic Islam? I am afraid many have, and as a Bible-believing Christian concerned with the truth, I want to challenge their thinking.
Many believe that all Muslims are uneducated fanatics; however, many Muslim clerics are highly educated, urbane, and politically informed.
Another false conception is that all Muslims are terrorists, and while State Department testimony reveals that the extremists in Saudi Arabia control 80% of U.S. mosques, some Muslims are anti-terrorists. Some Muslim leaders, especially in Europe and Egypt have taken anti-terrorist positions at the risk of their lives! I have great respect for those clerics. (However, where have mass demonstrations of American Muslims taken place since 9-11 to show abhorrence for terror?)
To provide non-Muslims with a proper historical, theological, and political understanding of Islamic influence on our nation we must look at some historical facts:
*It is a fact that where the Muslim faith flourishes, their flag follows. Where Muslims are in total control, they are in total control! There is no separation of mosque and state. It is also a fact proclaimed by numerous Muslims that their goal is to conquer America and the world! No one is a true Muslim unless he accepts that challenge!
*It is also a fact that Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God. Numerous Middle East scholars clearly state that Allah was one of 360 pagan gods worshipped at the Kaaba hundreds of years before Mohammed was born! See Encyclopedia Britannica, World Book, Coon, Farah, Thompson, etc.
*It is a fact that while Muslims talk about believing in Christ, they do not believe in the Christ of the Bible. They believe that He was not divine, did not die on the cross and did not rise from the dead. That is not believing in Christ.
*It is a fact that they do not believe in the Bible teaching of the Trinity (sura 5:75). In fact, Mohammed did not even know that the Trinity was the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! He thought Mary, the mother of Christ was a member of the Trinity! See sura 5:116.
*It is a fact that Mohammed was, in the words of Gibbon, an “illiterate barbarian” beheading over 800 Jewish males after the Battle of the Trench. See Gibbon, Durant, New Encyclopedia, etc.
*It is a fact that Islam teaches no one has a right to worship anyone but Allah. See Sura 9:29; 2:691; 47:4; etc. In fact, a Muslim is to be killed if he or she leaves Islam. See vol. 9, book 84, #64.
*It is also a fact that Mohammed took his son’s wife, slept with his Coptic slave, and had a nine-year-old wife. See Encyclopedia Britannica; Encyclopedia of Islam; Tabari (most famous Muslim historian); and Hadith vol. 7, book 62, number 65 where Aisha admitted, “My marriage (to Mohammed) was consummated when I was nine.” She should know!
*It is a fact that jihad is considered the “sixth pillar” of Islam, and while jihad can mean inner struggle, etc., it has always meant, “holy fighting in the cause of Islam.” See New Encyclopedia Britannica; Dictionary of Islam, and page 39 of the official Koran published in Saudi Arabia.
*It is a fact that Muslims true to the Koran (and Hadith) are not moderate. The terrorists are the ones carrying out the commands of Mohammed, and I believe those terrorists will target the true moderates (who would be considered the equivalent of modernists in Christian circles) with death.
*Koranic Islam (historic Islam) is America’s Trojan Horse full of an enemy that has clearly proclaimed plans to destroy America. If our leaders do not recognize that fact and act accordingly, they are like a man wading waist-deep through a snake and alligator infested Everglade’s swamp. They are going to get bit!
What should authorities do to escape planned Islamic terror? Recognize that our enemy is Koranic Islam (not the genuine moderates) because the first principle of war is to identify your enemy. Secondly, apprehend and arrest every person associated with terrorist groups. Thirdly, freeze all terrorist funds in the U.S. and free world with cooperation of our European allies. Fourthly, thoroughly investigate all Muslims in the military and academia, and then arrest those having terrorist connections. Fifthly, stop playing games at the airports. Realize few Americans are terrorists and spend time on those who are more likely to cause harm.
In other words, start to profile. Spend little time on little old ladies from Iowa and look more closely at Middle Easterners. Most will be innocent, and when they are innocent then have federal officials apologize to them and maybe even give them first class seats for their inconvenience.
I have been called a “hater” because I have reported the historical facts about Islam, Mohammed, and the Koran. I am not a hater, but a lover. It must be remembered that love without truth is not love. I am interested in truth not political correctness, unity, diversity, pluralism, multiculturalism, ecumenicity, or making Muslims feel warm and fuzzy with their 7th century religion. Truth and honesty are still important.
Must we permit Muslims to rewrite history to make them more comfortable with their religion? I refuse to do so, and while some will hysterically call me names, intelligent people will ask if my statements are correct. If I am not correct, then let me be corrected. If I am correct, then let my opponents respond to the historical facts.
If I can be proved wrong in my facts, I will apologize in the national media and rip my shirt on national television! I may even consider wearing sackcloth and ashes.
American leaders are making a deadly mistake in not understanding the nature of historic Islam, and we will all pay the price when the terrorists strike again. And when U.S. cities are in flames, the economy in a deadly spiral, and many innocent Muslims are killed by the “false moderates” (or by outraged non-Muslims), the Administration’s pandering toward all things Muslim will be discarded as quickly as long underwear in a Texas heat-wave.

Medical experiments in the U.S.A.
Human experimentation -- the practice of subjecting live human beings to science experiments that are sometimes cruel, painful, or deadly -- is a major part of U.S. history that you won't find in most history or science books. It is still continuing today. Here are a few examples, out of many more.They are not for the faint of heart:
1845: J. Marion Sims, later hailed as the "father of gynecology," performs medical experiments on enslaved African women without anesthesia. These women would usually die of infection soon after surgery. Because of his belief that the movement of newborns' skull bones during protracted births causes trismus, he uses a shoemaker's awl, a pointed tool shoemakers use to make holes in leather, to practice moving the skull bones of babies born to enslaved mothers.
1895: New York pediatrician Henry Heiman infects a 4-year-old boy whom he calls "an idiot with chronic epilepsy" with gonorrhea as part of a medical experiment.
1906: Harvard professor Dr. Richard Strong infects prisoners in the Philippines with cholera to study the disease; 13 of them die. He compensates survivors with cigars and cigarettes. During the Nuremberg Trials, Nazi doctors cite this study to justify their own medical experiments.
1919: Researchers perform testicular transplant experiments on inmates at San Quentin State Prison in California, inserting the testicles of recently executed inmates and goats into the abdomens and scrotums of living prisoners.
1931: Cornelius Rhoads, a pathologist from the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, purposely infects human test subjects in Puerto Rico with cancer cells; 13 of them die. Though Rhoads gives a written testimony stating he believes that all Puerto Ricans should be killed, he later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, where he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.
1932: The U.S. Public Health Service in Tuskegee, Ala. diagnoses 400 poor, black sharecroppers with syphilis but never tells them of their illness nor treats them; instead researchers use the men as human guinea pigs to follow the symptoms and progression of the disease. They all eventually die from syphilis and their families are never told that they could have been treated.
1939: In order to test his theory on the roots of stuttering, prominent speech pathologist Dr. Wendell Johnson performs his famous "Monster Experiment" on 22 children at the Iowa Soldiers' Orphans' Home in Davenport. Dr. Johnson and his graduate students put the children under intense psychological pressure, causing them to switch from speaking normally to stuttering heavily.
1944: As part of the Manhattan Project that would eventually create the atomic bomb, researchers inject 4.7 micrograms of plutonium into soldiers at the Oak Ridge facility, 20 miles west of Knoxville, Tennessee.
1956: U.S. Army covert biological weapons researchers release mosquitoes infected with yellow fever and dengue fever over Savannah, Georgia, and Avon Park, Florida, to test the insects' ability to carry disease. These experiments result in a high incidence of fevers, respiratory distress, stillbirths, encephalitis and typhoid among the two cities' residents, as well as several deaths.
1962: Researchers at the Laurel Children's Center in Maryland test experimental acne antibiotics on children and continue their tests even after half of the young test subjects develop severe liver damage because of the experimental medication .
1963: Chester M. Southam, who injected Ohio State Prison inmates with live cancer cells in 1952, performs the same procedure on 22 senile, African-American female patients at the Brooklyn Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in order to watch their immunological response. Southam tells the patients that they are receiving "some cells," but leaves out the fact that they are cancer cells. He claims he doesn't obtain informed consent from the patients because he does not want to frighten them by telling them what he is doing, but he nevertheless temporarily loses his medical license because of it. Ironically, he eventually becomes president of the American Cancer Society.
1987: Philadelphia resident Doris Jackson discovers that researchers have removed her son's brainpost mortem for medical study. She later learns that the state of Pennsylvania has a doctrine of "implied consent," meaning that unless a patient signs a document stating otherwise, consent for organ removal is automatically implied.
1994: In a double-blind experiment at New York VA Hospital, researchers take 23 schizophrenic inpatients off of their medications for a median of 30 days. They then give 17 of them 0.5 mg/kg amphetamine and six a placebo as a control. According to the researchers, the purpose of the experiment was "to specifically evaluate metabolic effects in subjects with varying degrees of amphetamine-induced psychotic exacerbation".
1995: A 19-year-old University of Rochester student named Nicole Wan dies from participating in an MIT-sponsored experiment that tests airborne pollutant chemicals on humans. The experiment pays $150 to human test subjects.
2003: Two-year-old Michael Daddio of Delaware dies of congestive heart failure. After his death, his parents learn that doctors had performed an experimental surgery on him when he was five months old, rather than using the established surgical method of repairing his congenital heart defect that the parents had been told would be performed. The established procedure has a 90- to 95-percent success rate, whereas the inventor of the new procedure would later be fired from his hospital.

The US Congress, through it's trade policies, moved production out of the US, and by opening trade with Communist China, set them up as an economic powerhouse. None of this is by mistake. The Congress is full of TRAITORS which have sold us out to the Communists...Joseph McCarthy was right..."Conspiracy Theorists" were right...I urged people in my district, many years ago, not to vote for Bob Goodlatte for Congress, because he supported NAFTA, and now we are reaping the "benefits" of his and his peers' policies.

What is happening is the passing of the "Judas Goat" baton from ecumenical, compromising, universalist Billy Graham, who has served the New World Order's purposes well in helping to serve up evangelical's for political slaughter at the hands of the CFR-dominated Republican and Democratic Parties, to CFR, ecumenical apostate Rick Warren. Like fellow CFR-member and Southern Baptist Judas Goat, Dr. Richard Land (SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission), Rick Warren is a traitor to the Christian church in America.

THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE -- A SHORT CRITIQUE
www.radioliberty.com/purpose.html
by Dr. Stanley Monteith
[excerpt, emphasis added]
People ask why I do not recommend Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life to learn about God’s purposes for our lives. I have enjoyed and profited from all the things the book tells Christians to do. I agree with them. His main point for us is to make God’s plans the first priority in our life and to surrender our life to Him. I heartily agree.
However, I studied his Purpose Driven Life and noticed that often his quotations from “the Bible” are not Biblical. He uses many translations and paraphrases which he still calls “The Bible;” and even in using those he sometimes omits very important content from the passages and in his writing about them. He has made major omissions that have changed the gospel message inconspicuously so that it corresponds with the essential occult teachings of the New Age.
HE HAS OMITTED, and removed from view, several major teachings in the Bible: [continued]

"A Fundamentalist Christian Looks at Fundamentalist Islam!" by Don Boys, Ph.D.
Have American Christians misread or misinterpreted historic Islam? I am afraid many have, and as a Bible-believing Christian concerned with the truth, I want to challenge their thinking.
Many believe that all Muslims are uneducated fanatics; however, many Muslim clerics are highly educated, urbane, and politically informed.
Another false conception is that all Muslims are terrorists, and while State Department testimony reveals that the extremists in Saudi Arabia control 80% of U.S. mosques, some Muslims are anti-terrorists. Some Muslim leaders, especially in Europe and Egypt have taken anti-terrorist positions at the risk of their lives! I have great respect for those clerics. (However, where have mass demonstrations of American Muslims taken place since 9-11 to show abhorrence for terror?)
To provide non-Muslims with a proper historical, theological, and political understanding of Islamic influence on our nation we must look at some historical facts:
*It is a fact that where the Muslim faith flourishes, their flag follows. Where Muslims are in total control, they are in total control! There is no separation of mosque and state. It is also a fact proclaimed by numerous Muslims that their goal is to conquer America and the world! No one is a true Muslim unless he accepts that challenge!
*It is also a fact that Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God. Numerous Middle East scholars clearly state that Allah was one of 360 pagan gods worshipped at the Kaaba hundreds of years before Mohammed was born! See Encyclopedia Britannica, World Book, Coon, Farah, Thompson, etc.
*It is a fact that while Muslims talk about believing in Christ, they do not believe in the Christ of the Bible. They believe that He was not divine, did not die on the cross and did not rise from the dead. That is not believing in Christ.
*It is a fact that they do not believe in the Bible teaching of the Trinity (sura 5:75). In fact, Mohammed did not even know that the Trinity was the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! He thought Mary, the mother of Christ was a member of the Trinity! See sura 5:116.
*It is a fact that Mohammed was, in the words of Gibbon, an “illiterate barbarian” beheading over 800 Jewish males after the Battle of the Trench. See Gibbon, Durant, New Encyclopedia, etc.
*It is a fact that Islam teaches no one has a right to worship anyone but Allah. See Sura 9:29; 2:691; 47:4; etc. In fact, a Muslim is to be killed if he or she leaves Islam. See vol. 9, book 84, #64.
*It is also a fact that Mohammed took his son’s wife, slept with his Coptic slave, and had a nine-year-old wife. See Encyclopedia Britannica; Encyclopedia of Islam; Tabari (most famous Muslim historian); and Hadith vol. 7, book 62, number 65 where Aisha admitted, “My marriage (to Mohammed) was consummated when I was nine.” She should know!
*It is a fact that jihad is considered the “sixth pillar” of Islam, and while jihad can mean inner struggle, etc., it has always meant, “holy fighting in the cause of Islam.” See New Encyclopedia Britannica; Dictionary of Islam, and page 39 of the official Koran published in Saudi Arabia.
*It is a fact that Muslims true to the Koran (and Hadith) are not moderate. The terrorists are the ones carrying out the commands of Mohammed, and I believe those terrorists will target the true moderates (who would be considered the equivalent of modernists in Christian circles) with death.
*Koranic Islam (historic Islam) is America’s Trojan Horse full of an enemy that has clearly proclaimed plans to destroy America. If our leaders do not recognize that fact and act accordingly, they are like a man wading waist-deep through a snake and alligator infested Everglade’s swamp. They are going to get bit!
What should authorities do to escape planned Islamic terror? Recognize that our enemy is Koranic Islam (not the genuine moderates) because the first principle of war is to identify your enemy. Secondly, apprehend and arrest every person associated with terrorist groups. Thirdly, freeze all terrorist funds in the U.S. and free world with cooperation of our European allies. Fourthly, thoroughly investigate all Muslims in the military and academia, and then arrest those having terrorist connections. Fifthly, stop playing games at the airports. Realize few Americans are terrorists and spend time on those who are more likely to cause harm.
In other words, start to profile. Spend little time on little old ladies from Iowa and look more closely at Middle Easterners. Most will be innocent, and when they are innocent then have federal officials apologize to them and maybe even give them first class seats for their inconvenience.
I have been called a “hater” because I have reported the historical facts about Islam, Mohammed, and the Koran. I am not a hater, but a lover. It must be remembered that love without truth is not love. I am interested in truth not political correctness, unity, diversity, pluralism, multiculturalism, ecumenicity, or making Muslims feel warm and fuzzy with their 7th century religion. Truth and honesty are still important.
Must we permit Muslims to rewrite history to make them more comfortable with their religion? I refuse to do so, and while some will hysterically call me names, intelligent people will ask if my statements are correct. If I am not correct, then let me be corrected. If I am correct, then let my opponents respond to the historical facts.
If I can be proved wrong in my facts, I will apologize in the national media and rip my shirt on national television! I may even consider wearing sackcloth and ashes.
American leaders are making a deadly mistake in not understanding the nature of historic Islam, and we will all pay the price when the terrorists strike again. And when U.S. cities are in flames, the economy in a deadly spiral, and many innocent Muslims are killed by the “false moderates” (or by outraged non-Muslims), the Administration’s pandering toward all things Muslim will be discarded as quickly as long underwear in a Texas heat-wave.

The US Congress, through it's trade policies, moved production out of the US, and by opening trade with Communist China, set them up as an economic powerhouse. None of this is by mistake. The Congress is full of TRAITORS which have sold us out to the Communists...Joseph McCarthy was right..."Conspiracy Theorists" were right...I urged people in my district, many years ago, not to vote for Bob Goodlatte for Congress, because he supported NAFTA, and now we are reaping the "benefits" of his and his peers' policies. We are now dependent on Communist China for our future...a future of INTERDEPENDENCE...

What is happening is the passing of the "Judas Goat" baton from ecumenical, compromising, universalist Billy Graham, who has served the New World Order's purposes well in helping to serve up evangelical's for political slaughter at the hands of the CFR-dominated Republican and Democratic Parties, to CFR, ecumenical apostate Rick Warren. Like fellow CFR-member and Southern Baptist Judas Goat, Dr. Richard Land (SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission), Rick Warren is a traitor to the Christian church in America.

THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE -- A SHORT CRITIQUE

by Dr. Stanley Monteith
[excerpt, emphasis added]
People ask why I do not recommend Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life to learn about God’s purposes for our lives. I have enjoyed and profited from all the things the book tells Christians to do. I agree with them. His main point for us is to make God’s plans the first priority in our life and to surrender our life to Him. I heartily agree.
However, I studied his Purpose Driven Life and noticed that often his quotations from “the Bible” are not Biblical. He uses many translations and paraphrases which he still calls “The Bible;” and even in using those he sometimes omits very important content from the passages and in his writing about them. He has made major omissions that have changed the gospel message inconspicuously so that it corresponds with the essential occult teachings of the New Age.
HE HAS OMITTED, and removed from view, several major teachings in the Bible: [continued]

Instructions for Preparing an RS2477 Claim
On BLM and National Forest System Lands
Introduction
Access within and across BLM and National Forest system lands is an issue of concern to local governments, emergency service providers, commercial operators, interest groups and private citizens. One way to acquire access is through the successful establishment of an RS 2477 claim.
In summary, RS 2477 (short for Section 2477, Federal Revised Statutes), was a provision included in an 1866 mining law to allow continued public access in and across lands removed from the public domain. This provision of law states, “The right-of-way for the construction of highways over public land, not reserved for public uses, is hereby granted.” (An Act Granting Right of Way To Ditch and Canal Owners Over The Public Land, and for Other Purposes [Mining Law of 1866], Act of July 26, 1866, ch. 262, § 8, 14 Stat. 251, codified at R.S. 2477, recodified at 43 U.S.C. § 932)
When this law was repealed by Congress in 1976, those “public” roads existing on BLM lands prior to 1976 were, and continue to be exempted from this repeal. On National Forest system lands, those public roads existing at the time the forest reserve was created (or annexed) were also exempted from this repeal. (Pub. L. No. 94-579, § 706(a), 90 Stat. 2793 (1976); see also Recognition of R.S. 2477 Rights-of-Way under the Department of the Interior’s FLPMA Disclaimer Rules and Its Memorandum of Understanding with the State of Utah, United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 B-300912, February 6, 2004, and Highway Rights Of Way On Public Lands: R.S. 2477 And Disclaimers Of Interest Congressional Research Service Report For Congress (received through the CRS web) Order Code RL32142, November 7, 2003.)
Examples of RS 2477 rights of way on BLM or National Forest lands include:
a. a right of way that leaves a county road, enters federal land, continues through federal land and returns to a county road.
b. a right of way that begins on federal land continues through federal land and ends on federal land.
c. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters federal land, and continues to private property.
d. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters federal land, and continues to state land
e. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters private land, continues to federal land, and ends on federal land, a state highway, or a county road
f. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters State land, continues to federal land, and ends on federal land, a state highway, or a county road. (see Amended R.S. 2477 Inventory Protocol: Perfecting R.S. 2477 Assertions in Moffat County, Colorado, May, 2005.)
All RS 2477 claims are likely to be challenged on the grounds of either state or federal law, depending on the state you live in. In Arizona, for example, an RS 2477 challenge is most likely to be decided on the construction of federal law due to the Federal Ninth Circuit’s general reliance on federal law to interpret RS 2477 claims. Conversely, an RS 2477 case in Colorado is likely to be decided on the construction of Colorado State law, due to the Tenth Circuit’s reliance on state law to interpret RS 2477 claims. (see Federal Regulation of R.S. 2477 Rights-Of-Way. NYU Annual Survey Of American Law Vol. 63:547, 2008. See also White Paper Review: Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance v. Bureau of Land Management Prepared by: Dr. Martin D. Moore, Research Associate
Southwest Center for Resource Analysis / Western New Mexico University, 2008)
Preparing A Claim
The following steps will assist you in preparing a verifiable RS2477 claim in your area. These involve research, documentation, and government action.
Research
1. Identify on any official federal, state, or county map the road or easement name you are seeking to claim.
a. If the road or easement is located on the map, MOVE TO STEP 2.
b. If the road or easement is not on a map, use a geographic positioning sstem (gps) to mark the coordinates for the beginning and end points of the road or easement, and take photographs of the road. Then, MOVE TO STEP 2.
2. Check the county records to see if that road, trail, or easement has been claimed as RS2477.
a. If you don’t find evidence that the county has taken official action to claim an RS 2477 road or easement, MOVE TO STEP 3.
b. If you do find evidence that the county has taken official action to claim an RS 2477 road or easement has been claimed through official county action, ask to see and receive a copy of:
i. minutes of the meeting in which the action took place; and
ii. documents and/or maps supporting the action to claim the road. These documents should include:
1. if a road crosses BLM lands, official (federal, county, or state) maps that pre-date 1976.
2. if a road crosses National Forest lands, official maps that pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
3. copies of County Board minutes from the time period the road was originally accepted showing that:
-the road was accepted into the county road system; or
-the county gave approval to spend funds to construct, repair or maintain the road
c. If you are satisfied that the county has back-up documentation as outlined in paragraph 2(b), STOP. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILE A CLAIM.
d. If you are not sure that the county has adequate back-up documentation, CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL.
e. If you are not satisified that the county has adequate back-up documentation, MOVE TO STEP 3.
3. On an official federal, state, or county map, mark the beginning point, the route, the width, and end points of the road or easement you are seeking to claim.
4. If possible, take pictures of and plot on a Geographic Positioning System (GPS) unit the beginning point, the route, the distance, the width, and the end point of the road or easement.
5. Check county records for evidence of :
a. the inclusion of the road or easement on the county or state road system; or
b. approval by the County Board to spend public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road; or
c. the expenditure of public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road.
Notes:
1. These records must pre-date 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands. For roads or easements on National Forest lands, they must pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
2. To aid your search of county records, ask if your county has compiled a historic record including:
a. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to accept roads or easements into the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to abandon or remove roads or easements from the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to approve the use of public funds to construct, repair, or maintain the road or easement. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
d. official county maps and road / trail / easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
3. If the county has compiled historic records, ask for a copy of the records. There may be a copying charge.
4. If the county has not compiled historic records, ask for the location of:
a. Archived Board meeting minutes (often in the office of the County Clerk, County Recorder, or Clerk of the Board), dated:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. Historic maps and road/easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. Archived financial records, which may or may not be public record.
Documentation
In order to build a complete file for each R.S. 2477 Right of Way, the following steps are recommended:
1. Use numbers or letters, along with common names (if any) to identify each right of way for future reference.
2. Note the type of right of way. These include:
a. State Highway: recognized by State Highway road numbers.
b. County Road: recognized by County road numbers.
c. Dirt: Vegetation has been mechanically removed to bare soil. Some vegetation re-growth may occur depending on the age of the right of way or time since last maintained.
d. Two-Track: Vegetation is generally absent on each vehicle track and present between vehicle tracks.
e. ATV: Generally the same as Two-Track with approximately four feet distance between tracks. Single-track motorcycle tracks fit the ATV category.
f. Livestock: Generally single-track rights of way used for public access.
g. No Physical Evidence: The existence of a right of way can be proven despite a lack of current maintenance or use.
3. Document the use of the right of way. If available, any anecdotal explanation or discussion of the public uses should also be included. For example, if the use is “access to cabin” then any information about the owner of the cabin, when it was built, and whether it was originally part of a ranch or homestead should be included. Types of uses may include, but are not limited to:
a. connects road “a” with road “b”
b. motorcycle route for recreational use
c. access to cabin
d. maintenance of barbed wire fence
e. access to hang gliding launch pad
f. access to water reservoir or spring
g. access to mining claim
h. access to hunting location
i. access to dispersed camping location
j. access to livestock gathering place
k. access to windmill
l. access to scenic overlook
m. alternative route to “a” during heavy snow
4. Document the physical location of the right of way
a. The location of routes may be entered as a layer in a Geographic Information System computerized mapping system.
b. A database using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates may be used to document the exact location of the right of way.
c. Drawing on 1:24000 USGS maps or official county road maps can locate the right of way.
d. When possible, an estimated width of the right-of-way should be documented.
5. Document the approximate date or year when the right of way came into existence.
a. This can be based on date of construction, repair, acceptance, etc.
6. Document the source(s) that identifies the right of way.
7. Compile gathered information pertaining to the public usage of the right of way (e.g. trailing livestock, hunting, motorized recreation, mining, etc.)
a. Where possible, compile affidavits documenting public use of the rights of way. Affidavits detailing the use of a road in detail beyond a phrase or short sentence are important.
8. Compile ground truth evidence of the right of way. (GPS, photographs)
Government Action
1. If you are a county or state, you need to claim, through binding resolution or legislation, the RS2477 roads, trails, or easements that you have gathered evidence on.
2. If you are a citizen or private group, compile the evidence you have gathered and request that your Board of County Commissioners (or state legislature and governor) claim the road, trail, or easement as RS2477. This request should be in writing through either a letter, a resolution from your organization, or a petition with signatures. Include a complete copy of your evidence with the request.

b. If you do find evidence that the county has taken official action to claim an RS 2477 road or easement has been claimed through official county action, ask to see and receive a copy of:
i. minutes of the meeting in which the action took place; and
ii. documents and/or maps supporting the action to claim the road. These documents should include:
1. if a road crosses BLM lands, official (federal, county, or state) maps that pre-date 1976.
2. if a road crosses National Forest lands, official maps that pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
3. copies of County Board minutes from the time period the road was originally accepted showing that:
-the road was accepted into the county road system; or
-the county gave approval to spend funds to construct, repair or maintain the road
c. If you are satisfied that the county has back-up documentation as outlined in paragraph 2(b), STOP. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILE A CLAIM.
d. If you are not sure that the county has adequate back-up documentation, CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL.
e. If you are not satisified that the county has adequate back-up documentation, MOVE TO STEP 3.
3. On an official federal, state, or county map, mark the beginning point, the route, the width, and end points of the road or easement you are seeking to claim.
4. If possible, take pictures of and plot on a Geographic Positioning System (GPS) unit the beginning point, the route, the distance, the width, and the end point of the road or easement.
5. Check county records for evidence of :
a. the inclusion of the road or easement on the county or state road system; or
b. approval by the County Board to spend public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road; or
c. the expenditure of public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road.
Notes:
1. These records must pre-date 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands. For roads or easements on National Forest lands, they must pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
2. To aid your search of county records, ask if your county has compiled a historic record including:
a. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to accept roads or easements into the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to abandon or remove roads or easements from the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to approve the use of public funds to construct, repair, or maintain the road or easement. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
d. official county maps and road / trail / easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
3. If the county has compiled historic records, ask for a copy of the records. There may be a copying charge.
4. If the county has not compiled historic records, ask for the location of:
a. Archived Board meeting minutes (often in the office of the County Clerk, County Recorder, or Clerk of the Board), dated:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. Historic maps and road/easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. Archived financial records, which may or may not be public record.
Documentation
In order to build a complete file for each R.S. 2477 Right of Way, the following steps are recommended:
1. Use numbers or letters, along with common names (if any) to identify each right of way for future reference.
2. Note the type of right of way. These include:
a. State Highway: recognized by State Highway road numbers.
b. County Road: recognized by County road numbers.
c. Dirt: Vegetation has been mechanically removed to bare soil. Some vegetation re-growth may occur depending on the age of the right of way or time since last maintained.
d. Two-Track: Vegetation is generally absent on each vehicle track and present between vehicle tracks.
e. ATV: Generally the same as Two-Track with approximately four feet distance between tracks. Single-track motorcycle tracks fit the ATV category.
f. Livestock: Generally single-track rights of way used for public access.
g. No Physical Evidence: The existence of a right of way can be proven despite a lack of current maintenance or use.
3. Document the use of the right of way. If available, any anecdotal explanation or discussion of the public uses should also be included. For example, if the use is “access to cabin” then any information about the owner of the cabin, when it was built, and whether it was originally part of a ranch or homestead should be included. Types of uses may include, but are not limited to:
a. connects road “a” with road “b”
b. motorcycle route for recreational use
c. access to cabin
d. maintenance of barbed wire fence
e. access to hang gliding launch pad
f. access to water reservoir or spring
g. access to mining claim
h. access to hunting location
i. access to dispersed camping location
j. access to livestock gathering place
k. access to windmill
l. access to scenic overlook
m. alternative route to “a” during heavy snow
4. Document the physical location of the right of way
a. The location of routes may be entered as a layer in a Geographic Information System computerized mapping system.
b. A database using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates may be used to document the exact location of the right of way.
c. Drawing on 1:24000 USGS maps or official county road maps can locate the right of way.
d. When possible, an estimated width of the right-of-way should be documented.
5. Document the approximate date or year when the right of way came into existence.
a. This can be based on date of construction, repair, acceptance, etc.
6. Document the source(s) that identifies the right of way.
7. Compile gathered information pertaining to the public usage of the right of way (e.g. trailing livestock, hunting, motorized recreation, mining, etc.)
a. Where possible, compile affidavits documenting public use of the rights of way. Affidavits detailing the use of a road in detail beyond a phrase or short sentence are important.
8. Compile ground truth evidence of the right of way. (GPS, photographs)
Government Action
1. If you are a county or state, you need to claim, through binding resolution or legislation, the RS2477 roads, trails, or easements that you have gathered evidence on.
2. If you are a citizen or private group, compile the evidence you have gathered and request that your Board of County Commissioners (or state legislature and governor) claim the road, trail, or easement as RS2477. This request should be in writing through either a letter, a resolution from your organization, or a petition with signatures. Include a complete copy of your evidence with the request.
