[quote=”maravilla”]i feel the same way, so it’s not just you. in a few years, there won’t be any difference between here and there, but i’m not so sure about nicaragua — won’t those same banking laws be forced on ortega too? if he doesn’t agree, we could depose him!![/quote]I have my doubts about the tentacles of empire reaching Nica as of/for now,it may have to do with their(nica)disagreement(s)with the UN council;which can be harmful in leading to embargo’s and other acts imposed on anyone who disagrees with a chosen few.They despise soveriegn nations and wont be happy til all have bowed down. Sad.
I really hate to be the downer on this topic and feel despair everytime I read how CR is becoming more UNfriendly to immigrants,although I can’t blame them for doing so. Nicaragua may very well be the new CR, I can’t help but feel the banking cartel that is ruining the rest of the free world may have infiltrated my beloved CR,is it just me or is it becoming more like AmeriKa?
[quote=”Disabled Veteran”]One thing the military taught me was, things and people are not always as they appear. Having come to Costa Rica the last 14 years, and now living there part-time; I have been fortunate not to have been robbed or have my home broken into. Criminals size you up as a potential target, and expats are easy prey. I am always in combat mode and I always maintain the 1000 yard combat stare, thanks to PTSD; it also helps that I am still in excellent body building shape.[/quote]So there is an upside to PTSD,I like that analogy.Honestly.
[quote=”maravilla”]spoken like a true right winger. you can’t even concede that the war in Iraq was started on a false premise and that hundreds of thousands of innocent people died because of that lie? at least mr. Smelly makes some cogent points. war for the sake of war is evil and sending your innocent children (rich children don’t go to war!) to die for a lie is a form of insanity. and that is one of the main reasons i chose costa rica — there is no Army, Costa Rica is not going to invade some country they’ve decided is out of favor, and they do not spend trillions of dollars funding the war machine so people like Donnie Rumsfeld can make a truckload of money on his Haliburton stock. the US could fix the debt in a heartbeat if they just stopped funding the perpetual wars we start.[/quote] A wonderful post! I support Ron Paul based on the fact that when we do eventually get to Costa Rica full time I wont see AmeriKan soldiers or too many other tenticles of the empire.
[quote=”sueandchris”]As always – go to this forum for the BEST input. I am looking at a 1984 Toyota Landcruiser with pretty low miles for the year (160K – it was garaged for seven years). The upside is that this thing is a BEAST – will go anywhere…the downside is the gas mileage @ 15MPG and it doesn’t go very fast. They have a tendency to do about 70-75 mph without too much difficulty. Is this top speed an issue on the autopista???? It is in excellent condition and I can pick it up really cheap. Any thoughts on this specific model?????
[/quote]Jump on it if ya can,I have restored 2 1984 LC’s and wish I still owned them,they are bulletproof and will climb trees in 4 lo. Like ya said tho,mpg is 11-15 ,there is a weber carb kit for aftermarket install that will help with mileage and horsepower.If its mint it could be worth $7k.
Kevin[quote=”DavidCMurray”]When we imported our household goods to Costa Rica, we were advised by the shipper not to declare any value for anything on the inventory which was destined for Costa Rican Customs. The notion was to let Customs come to its own conclusion.
I don’t know what the duty rate is on used imported household goods, but we paid way, way less than one percent of our goods’ actual value. So it worked![/quote]That is valuable info. Thanks.
>>>>>And then theres giant sack o dung….Pastor John Hagee is a fanatically “Israel-first” evangelical who leads his troops in unconditional moral and financial support of the Jewish state.

[quote=”sabine”]Here is a pertinent email I just received…
Keep in mind that we are all under the spell of the fear operations, the classic method of compliance to tyrannical means–mind control by any other name. As Alex Jones pointed out on his show today, we are under a military enforced economic collapse.
It’s genocide, comes out of “British Israel” and they do, as John Hoefte told me,”mean to kill you.”I suggest everyone get behind their favorite Truth issue and put in some time informing as many people as possible.
It is particularly important to understand that the real economy must be in the hands of the people, not corporations and government or military. Their system is called Total Spectrum Dominance, and genocide is the name of their game. Israel is just the spear head of their plan for the next World War.There isn’t a lot of time left. All the signs of hyper-inflation, continued collapse and reinforcement of the elite banking cartel are still with us. It would be well to get every possible anti-Fed candidate into office asap, and get rid of the traitors asap. Be Constitutional–and non-violent. There are legal ways to reverse this situation, and yes, the people have the solutions. Small farming is now an essential element of surviving the enforced collapse, or at least food self-reliance.

RonniKOL NIDRE: JUDAISM’S LICENSE TO LIE
By Rev. Ted Pike
21 Sep 10 (republished)Editor’s Note:
Last June tens of millions of evangelicals unquestioningly accepted Israel’s account of its attack on the Free Gaza flotilla. The “ Israel can do no wrong” mentality is so ingrained in the religious right that Christians reflexively believe that, in any dispute with the Arabs, doubting Israel is out of the question.
Yet Orthodox Judaism, the official position of the State of Israel, makes an astounding provision for observant Jews: They may, by reciting the Kol Nidre prayer on the eve of Yom Kippur, receive pre-forgiveness for all the lies, deceit, broken contracts, etc. they may indulge in for the next year.
Is Israel telling the truth when it claims its commandoes were innocently surprised by knife and baton-wielding resisters, forcing Israeli soldiers to shoot more than 50 activists, some with up to four gunshot wounds each?
International investigations are attempting to answer that. Meanwhile, Israel’s leaders, including Netanyahu, have clear consciences. As Orthodox Jews, a little over a year ago they undoubtedly prayed the Kol Nidre prayer, absolving them from having to tell the truth about the flotilla affair.
Read this reprint of my November 2008 article which reveals an ominous reality: The group Christian Americans should least trust is a nation led by Orthodox Jews.
KOL NIDRE: JUDAISM’S LICENSE TO LIE
By Rev. Ted Pike
(17 Nov 08)Seventy-eight percent of American Jews voted for Obama and there are now a record 46 Jews in Congress (nearly six times their proportion to Jews in the American population). As never before, Americans can expect Jewish influence in government. During the Clinton and Bush administrations, Jews attained saturation-level presence in government and cabinet positions.1 Undoubtedly Obama will be surrounded by powerful Jews; he already appointed an Orthodox Jew as his chief of staff. Will these powerful Jews legislate and judge justly? Will they reflect what is regarded as a common Judeo-Christian tradition of high moral values?
It’s highly unlikely. In fact, the more religiously observant a Jewish congressman, federal judge, or attorney general is, the more at variance he will probably be with Christian values. Let me explain.
Every year through the fall session of Congress, relatively little is accomplished because of lengthy interruptions from Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Today, though Jews constitute only 1.5 percent of the US population, Congress also frequently shuts down so Jewish members may debark, some flying home, for the Jewish holidays. First comes Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, and finally Sukkoth. (See, ” Does Congress Always Take Off for Rosh Hashanah?”, “Congress quiet on Jewish New Year”) The more religious a Jewish legislator, the more important he attends synagogue on the eve of the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. This highest Jewish holiday is preceded with rites and collective recitation of the Kol Nidre prayer.
The Kol Nidre says, “All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas [curses]…which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next…we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect: they shall not bind us nor have any power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligations; nor the oaths be oaths.” 2
What is the meaning of this strange and disturbing prayer recited by millions of Jews every fall? Surely, you may say, it cannot literally mean what it says: that Jews invalidate all their promises, contracts, agreements, and even curses throughout the coming year? If that were true, the word of a religious Jew would be meaningless. No rational person could trust anything he said, not to mention elect him to high office.
Overturning God’s Law
To understand the Kol Nidre prayer, let’s first consider the opposite: God’s ancient command to His chosen people to fulfill all their oaths and promises. “When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee…that which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform…” (Deuteronomy 24:21, 23)
Yet the Jewish Encyclopedia tells us God’s requirement of promise-keeping ultimately became so burdensome to Jews that, as a result of “their longing for a clear conscience,” compassionate rabbinic authorities overturned God’s law around the 8th century AD. They collectively absolved entire congregations, instructing them to recite what has became known as the Kol Nidre prayer. 3 At first, the prayer allowed forgiveness for broken promises and curses of the previous year; later, in the twelfth century, it granted pre-forgiveness for sins of unfaithfulness for the following year. Both forms are observed today. Kol Nidre, from its beginnings, was controversial and “aroused bitter controversy” among rabbinical authorities. 4
Dissident, non-Talmudic Karaites also proclaimed it a sham and said it made the word of a Jew worthless. Christian critics leveled the same charge (but are now called “anti-Semitic” for doing so). Such criticism provoked more than a millennium of suspicion, persecution and discrimination against Jews (i.e. much of the “senseless anti-Semitism” with which historical Christianity has been charged).
Yet the Jewish people were willing to suffer unspeakable persecutions rather than give up the intoxicating moral release of Kol Nidre. It “became the most beloved ritual of the Day of Atonement.” 5 Today synagogues are packed worldwide on the eve of Yom Kippur as millions of Jews, deeply moved by the high drama, pageantry and haunting melodies of Kol Nidre, affirm that their “vows, obligations, and oaths” or curses are forgiven and forgotten by God.
All Jewish encyclopedias and authoritative works on Kol Nidre include a powerful disclaimer. They say Gentiles should not feel threatened by Kol Nidre! The prayer’s Kol Nidre, we are told, applies only to breaking vows to oneself or to God. It may not be employed to justify breaches of confidence, curses of Gentiles, or lies under oath in civil courts.
Testimony from a Christian Jew
I posed the question to a Christian Jew, Milton (Brother Nathaniel) Kapner.
“What is the reason behind the mass appeal of Kol Nidre,” I asked. “Do millions of Jews seek absolution from Kol Nidre because they are tormented with guilt for violating oaths to themselves and God?”
Until age 21, Kapner, now 57, was a convinced Jew involved in conservative, Orthodox, and ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At 21, even after finding Christ, he spent a year of intense study with ultra-Orthodox Lubavitcher rabbis and scholars.
“Kol Nidre,” he said, “is a big show. The Jews get worked up by the high drama and cantor singing the haunting Kol Nidre melody. They persuade themselves that every lie they have told over the past year is forgiven. They’re off the hook!”
“Are they repenting of lies to God, or also to the Gentiles?” I asked.
” All lies and broken vows to everyone are covered,” he replied, “except for legal contracts that are enforced by law.” He said most Jews consider Gentiles inferior. Most ultra-Orthodox consider them sub-human. Kapner said just as promises made to animals are worthless, so the Talmud (even without Kol Nidre) teaches that promises to the goyim are meaningless.
The Talmud frequently says Gentiles may be deceived and defrauded. Jews are above “barbaric” Gentile laws and courts. 6 Also the Jewish Zohar (Kabbalah) repeatedly describes Gentiles as beasts and even demons. (This is substantiated in detail in my 354-page book, Israel: Our Duty…Our Dilemma, available at http://www.truthtellers.org.) (See, “Have You Read the Talmud Lately?”, “The Jewish Kabbalah: Root of Mideast Violence”)
What about the testimony of Jewish authorities that Kol Nidre does not apply to contracts between Jews and Gentiles? “That’s all for Gentile consumption,” Kapner said.
Can You Trust Your Jewish Congressman?
Of course, especially in the US, many Jews are so assimilated and secularized that, though usually liberal, they have shed any high regard for Kol Nidre or the Talmud. Yet according to Kapner’s personal experience, a religious, Kol Nidre-reciting, Jewish businessman can cheat you without guilt for the next year. Henry Ford, a businessman who dealt with many Jews, comments: “It requires no argument to show that if this prayer be really the rule of faith and conduct for the Jews who utter it, ordinary social and business relations are impossible to maintain with them.” (The Dearborn Independent, Nov. 5, 1921)
We should also keep in mind Kol Nidre’s permission to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust to lie under oath (as in the Nuremberg trials). Can we continue to accept as fact their testimony of seeing countless Jews destroyed in gas chambers and ovens?
It also means an observant Jew in Congress can renege on any promises he makes his constituents in the past or coming year. Gone also is any duty of federal or Supreme Court justices to be loyal to their oath to the Constitution and the United States of America.
Do I have this wrong? Incredibly, I don’t. Despite the suspicion and revenge Kol Nidre has aroused, modern Judaism still considers its recitation one of the most sacred duties of Jewish life, liturgy, and tradition. It is so important that as Congress evolves into the “American Knesset,” congressional leaders, under control of the all-powerful Zionist lobby, are eager to please Jewish members by sending them home to take advantage of this moral loophole in Judaism.
Perhaps, with Jewish activists flooding Congress as never before, promoting perverse Jewish “hate crime laws” and “workplace bias” legislation, as well as bills that persecute Christian/conservative activism, (See, Lobby Reform Bill Cripples Free Speech) we can understand why many Jewish members of Congress need the moral absolution provided by Kol Nidre. There will be a lot of lies to constituents and breaking oaths to uphold the constitution by First Amendment-destroying Jews this session of Congress. Such treachery could really strain anyone’s conscience. But Jewish members of Congress return after reciting Kol Nidre with consciences cleansed. After all, who cares about governing according to the will of the lowly goyim?
For them, ruling according to Kol Nidre is the will of God.

It is fiat currency and is just as fake and empty as the constitution. The banks create currency right out of thin air at will just as our constitution is ignored at will. Even when they distribute this fake currency to us, it does not belong to us. They retain ownership of the economy and the fiat currency that they create.

If the money you think is in your possession was really yours, how could anyone force you to report its whereabouts? How could anyone take some or all of it from you?
