Washington DC – Federal South Metro

The Metrorail system (Metro), owned and operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), has grown to five lines, consisting of 86 stations and 106.3 miles (171 km) of track, since opening in 1876. The system is the second busiest in the nation, with about 700,000 trips taken on a typical weekday. Designed by Chicago architect Harry Weese, it combines elements of Brutalism (heavy use of concrete, repetive nature of design motifs) and neoclassical (coffered groin vaults and barrel vaults).

In 2007, the DC Metro was ranked #106 on the AIA 150 America’s Favorite Architecture list.

Terrorstorm: 2nd Edition

  • 2nd Edition Updated

“TERRORSTORM sets a new standard in documentary filmmaking. Alex Jones knocks it out of the park yet again.” – Dylan Avery, Director, Loose Change

“Alex Jones is a true patriot, a genuine hero.” – Actor/Director Charlie Sheen

In this UPDATED AND EXPANDED edition of TERRORSTORM, Alex Jones-often credited as the father of the 9/11 Truth Movement-provides a riveting case of how throughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TERRORSTORM reveals that in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.

Containing brand new footage, evidence, and interviews (with people such as Gore Vidal and Jesse Ventura), Jones explores the mindset of the average brainwashed Westerner and delves deeply into the systems of control, which have been scientifically crafted to imprison the public’s minds and keep their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them.

In addition to blowing the lid off the conspiracy of 9/11 and the attacks of 7/7 in London, TERRORSTORM also reveals other terrorist events that were self-inflicted wounds, such as the Reichstag fire, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the US-backed Iranian coup of 1953.

This UPDATED AND EXPANDED edition contains new footage of the 5th Anniversary 9/11 Truth rally at Ground Zero in New York City; recently surfaced BBC and CNN press coverage regarding the destruction of WTC Bldg. 7-twenty minutes before it fell; details about the “shoot down” law which was never invoked on 9/11; the Norman Mineta testimony; crucial testimony from members of the CIA and 9/11 family members; and much more.

Alex is known for not just talking the talk, but walking the walk. He combines his media presence with actual physical activism, a practice that once led to him being arrested on the personal order of George W. Bush!

Alex Jones has gained international attention for standing up for what he believes in. From Italy’s La Prensa to the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, Jones has brought the information war to the mainstream print media worldwide, speaking out against tyranny in defense of the Constitution.

Jones has produced fifteen documentary films to date exposing the police state, the New World Order and government sponsored terrorism.

Alex Jones is considered by many to be the grandfather of what has come to be known as the 9/11 Truth Movement. Jones predicted the 9/11 attack in a July 2001 television taping when he warned that the Globalists were going to attack New York and blame it on their asset Osama bin Laden.

Since 9/11 Jones has broken many of the stories, which later became the foundation of the evidence that the government was involved. After helping BBC journalist Greg Palast break major stories Palast publicly thanked Alex for being the only radio host to pay attention to W199I, a leaked document concerning FBI protection of groups linked to Al-Qaeda.

Last year, he had Charlie Sheen as a guest on his talk show. The interview received mainstream media coverage and commentary by CNN Showbiz Tonight, Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes and Jimmy Kimmel Love (ABC), when Sheen alleged US government had prior knowledge of the attacks on 9/11.

The terrorists are not who you think they are.

Federal Government: Spending Spree

September 15th, 2011

Federal Government: Spending Spree

The Federal Government is definitely the largest customer of goods and services. The government has purchased all types of goods and services such as foodstuff, raw materials, research, properties, development, and even maintenance services and staff.. You can compare the government to a corporation if you take a close look.. The other companies will merely look very small.. If the company runs a business, then the government is a organization managing the nation. 
In order to provide the essential services for the country and its constituents, the government needs to buy what it require. Just like an office purchases utilities, supplies, along with other services for it to operate, the Federal Government must do the same thing. Government expenditures have reached as much as 0B in several goods and services.. 
Thousand of employees have been laid-off due to the fact of the economic catastrophe which also pressured companies to downsize.. The time to invest in government contracts is now.. The current release of the Stimulus Package is enough explanation.. The stimulus package is an supplemental budget from the government that allows it to shell out more to stimulate the suffering economic climate Exactly what does it mean? It means 7B will go in to the economy into diverse projects and programs. The government will buy services and products from, who knows, it may be you. With the stimulus package currently out and circulating, the time has come to sell to the Federal Government, a government contractor. 
A government contractor is usually a company or individual with products or services the government is interested. For those who have what the government needs, during a crisis it sure does need a ton; chances are you can get a government contract. The nation is in an economic hole and the government needs to pull it out of that hole. What better way to lift up than a spending spree, infuse money into the economy and try jumpstarting it. Businesses may not hire more workers and fire many. The Federal Government nonetheless is looking for ways to get the stimulus money into the economy through contractors. 
An undesirable economic environment and a government willing to spend billions in dollars, currently is the best time in selling to the Federal Government.

Why should the Federal government have the ability to preside over issues like abortion and same-sex rights?

June 4th, 2011

Question by Viktor-Ron Paul 2008!!: Why should the Federal government have the ability to preside over issues like abortion and same-sex rights?
Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, The Death Penalty, Education, etc. should all be in the hands of the states! Why should the government be able to make decisions on these issues, point on point. Who’s saying our Federal Government has the best judgment? Let the people decide on these issues in their respect states, and create state competition. Why do we tolerate the government in our lives, in social issues such as these?
Does not the tenth amendment state that all rights not mentioned in the Constitution belong exclusively to the states or the people?

Best answer:

Answer by jneg7
I think its horrible that our federal Govt trys to stick its hands in everything.
To askers added comment
Yes it does. That is one reason I Love Ron Paul. He does not vote for anything not expressly mentioned in the Constition, because as a legislator on the Federal level it is not his place to. WoW. Dr. No . I love it that one man actually Abides by the Constition. For over 20 yrs too. His voting record is easily researched. I love that although he personally does not think same sex marriage is ok, he voted No on A Federal Same Sex Marriage Ban because its not the federal govts job to define that. Thats integrity.
i i-
Democrats are just as responsible as Republicans for the Mess that our government has become. They both bear equal blame as do the people who vote on silly things like name recognition.
Calvin Republicans are no longer the party of Small Government. They have aquired a love of throwing money at things to fix them. Which is what republicans used to say about democrats. Somewhere along the line people who were social conservatives but Big Govt liberals enterd therepublican party claiming to be conservatives when in fact they are just conservatives socially. The popular word for these people are Neo Cons. Read “Where The Right Went Wrong” by Patrick J Buchanan to read more about the beginings of the Neo Con movement and how they hijacked the Republican Party. The Party of “Small Government”

Government Contracts – Government Contracting What Federal Buyers Require

May 13th, 2011

Government Contracts – Government Contracting What Federal Buyers Require

Getting Your First Government Contract – 3 Tips You Should Know

Securing a government contract could seem like the answer a pray for a small business owner. The idea of having an opportunity to deliver products and services to the largest customer in the world would be great for current and future business. You would think “man” I could do this with the revenue or that with revenue; the fact that this single customer could change your life is overwhelming. It is no wonder that many small business owners set out on an odyssey to become a federal contractor. I choose the word odyssey because the process to winning your first government contract will be an adventure colored by hardships and lasting experience. Yes I ripped the rose colored glass right off your face when I said there will be hardships in trying to win a government contract. That is a fact, but you can lessen those hardships and avoid the pitfalls by considering the following three things.

Step One – Government Contract Education

If you want to really pursue a government contract first educate yourself on the topic. You will find a litany of resources, but be warned that not all available information is trustworthy or up to date. You could spend an infinite amount of time researching the topic of government contract, which you can now see how appropriate the term odyssey is when you start the research process.

There are few free federal resources available to you such as your local APTAC office. This agency is designed to help businesses seeking to compete successfully in federal, state, and local contracting. They have their own internal review process, but the outcome is to help you find the right fit for government contracting.

This is a great place to start, however in order to really take advantage of their service especially for federal contracts you need to be properly registered as a federal contractor.

Step Two – Devise a Plan

Now that you are properly educated and registered as a federal contractor you now need to devise a marketing plan. The federal government is no different from any other customer so a well planned sales and marketing strategy is a necessary tool. A targeted approach will be required as you create a marketing plan in order to win your first federal contract. Although most people think of the federal government as a single entity, however the government is comprised of hundreds of agencies. Each agency operates independently, but must adhere to the same purchasing policies and procedures.

Step Three – Execute the Plan

Whatever sales and marketing plan you devise make sure you construct a schedule and process to execute your plan. A great way to put your plan into action is to attend a small business conference supported by a federal agency. You can find information about federal events or shows by checking out a particular agency website. Each agency should have an Office of Small Business Disadvantage Utilization contact which you can contact to find out specific information. Often agencies will sponsor networking events and conferences that will allow the small business community to meet government buyer face to face. What better way to test your marketing and sales plan than to talk directly to the decision maker!

Government Contract – Summary

Winning your first government contract will change your small business and in some way even how you do business. How you sale and market to the government is a bit different than to a commercial customer simply because the government buyer are required to work with small businesses. I don’t know a single commercial customer that must set aside a portion of their business for a specific vendor so pursuing a government contract is worth the chase.

Shawn Herring has more than 10 years of experience as a small business owner and is an active and successful federal contractor. Though her website AccesstoGovernmentCash.com she able to offer support and guidance for small businesses hoping to become federal contractors.

What branch of government does the federal government belong to?

Question by Luis: What branch of government does the federal government belong to?
When the federal government overturns a state law, does that relate to the different branches of government and their powers? what branch so each belong to or are they from the same branch?

Best answer:

Answer by Chin T
The three branches refers to
The Executive Branch (President)
Legislative (which is both the house or Congress, and the Senate)
And the Judicial Branch (Which at the federal Level would be the Supreme court)

Now pretty much states are the same way, although a Governor would be the president of a state.

If a state law were to be considered unconstitutional it would be the Judicial Branch that would examine that if it were brought to court.

Why is the federal government allowed to strip power from states?

March 25th, 2011
Government
by ivva

Question by Rick31: Why is the federal government allowed to strip power from states?
The framers of the Constitution stressed the importance of a limited federal government and states’ rights, yet recent years the federal government is loading states with unfunded mandates and stripping much of the states’ power. How can they be allowed to get this big? Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at the size of the cancer we call the federal government if he were alive today. I have been studying his writings and he was against so many of the things the federal government is doing today. The feds are suing Arizona over a law that 80% of Americans favor. Where did they get the authority to meddle in states’ rights?

Best answer:

Answer by Shovel Ready
The supremacy doctrine stems from a clause in the Constitution, reaffirmed by the outcome of the Civil War. This is why legislators in Arizona crafted the new law carefully to IMPLEMENT existing federal law, rather than challenge or contradict it.
