Dr. Chuck Baldwin Discusses Freedom Of Religion
A question on complete comfort vs. complete freedom?
I thought I’d ask this again here for more diversity of opinion; it seems everyone in the government section is right leaning.
I am going to describe two scenarios and I want you to tell me which scenario you would rather live in and why. Also please include your age, gender, country and political affiliation.
Scenario A:
Your government (and its citizens through a majority vote) has decided that all citizens should be given the basic necessities. Every citizen is given a car and a home to suit their needs. The car is one that is safe, reliable and gets the best gas mileage. You are allowed limited options such as color and whether you want a convertible, two door or four door, and other options are allowed for those who need them such as pickup trucks for farmers, minivans for large families and handicap accessibility features. The homes you get are also suited to your needs with few options, and if the home doesn’t fit your needs you may be asked to move (but in the same town) such as if you have children you can move to a larger house, when they grow up you must move to a smaller house. You also get free healthy food and you have the option of buying junk food with your own money if you so choose. You are not however allowed to buy larger cars or houses due to the environmental impact. You also get your utilities provided for up to a certain limit as well as gasoline and car maintenance (you are free to buy more utilities and gasoline from your own earnings if you wish). Healthcare and education is also provided to each citizen as well as clothing for work and job interviews (other clothing may of course be bought by the individual) as well as free school uniforms for school children. Childcare is covered for everyone and so is care for the elderly, sick and disabled such as home health, hospice, nursing homes and retirement homes.
There are no taxes for anyone making less than $250k per year, and subsidies to get incomes up to 250k for families and 200k for individuals who are working full time and not making that much. People making over that will be taxed, and very wealthy who have more than one million dollars will be taxed heavily.
Scenario B:
You live in a system with total freedom and complete individual responsibility. The government exists only to curb serious crime (murder and rape – there are no more laws against drugs, prostitution or other such crimes and private property is the individual’s responsibility to protect) and to provide a military. Everything is owned by the private sector including schools, roads and fire departments. You must pay for children to go to school, you must subscribe to the fire department to use their services, even emergency room care is not provided to people with no insurance. There are no more public libraries – there are privately owned book rentals instead. You must also pay tolls on every road you drive because they are all privately owned. However, there are no taxes other than a sales tax to fund police and military.
Our National Security Depends on DoD 8570
Who all knows what DoD 8570.1 is exactly? If you work for the armed forces, a local national or a contractor that has access to tot DoD information, then you know exactly what it is. DoD stands for Department of Defense while the 8571.1 stands for the directive that requires all military personal, contractors and local nationals that has access to privileged information, to be certified through the
American National Standards Institute.
Now wouldn’t you like to know everything that goes on behind the walls of the Pentagon? Most people would love to be privy to the information that armed forces personnel are privy too. But, national security reasons, most average citizens will never know what goes on behind those walls.
8570 training consists of certifying personnel in the knowledge of principles and concepts that will be used to protect sensitive DoD information. This includes the networks and systems that in information is stored on also. The IT training that privileged employees receive will ensure that the information, that is vital to our nation’s well being and safety will never be compromised, fall into the hands of the enemy or breached in any way, shape or form.
With 8570 training and certification from the American National Standards Institute, we as citizens of the USA should feel a sense of security that our nation’s secured information shall not and will not fall into the wrong hands.
There are companies that offer training in the 8570.1 directive which includes CBT training. Online training, video’s and CD’s are modes of training with most done at your pace. They are self study lessons that can be done right on your own PC. Many come with interactive lessons and tools to help you prepare for the big exam. The 8570,1 training can be considered IT training, in a sense, because some of the same applications are studied between the two, as far as computer applications and hardware are concerned.
There are certain levels of security and the 8570.1 directive differentiates between the levels. All 8570 training programs are set up to offer you the course you need according to your level’s needs.
For the safety of the people of the United States, we as citizen’s should feel protected that our government has put a program in place that will ensure the nation’s security and keep our country out of harm’s way!

How do I obtain my FBI profile via the freedom of information act?
I have heard that I am legally allowed to view my personal FBI profile ,if it exists, via the freedom of information act. Is this true? And if so, how would I go about doing so?
