FEC.<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Thanks to the Supreme Court\u2019s decisions in <em>Citizens United, <\/em>we now have an institutionalized system whereby politicians can receive money legally from special interest groups and individuals with staggering results.\u00a0 During the 2012 election cycle, more than $1 billion in outside money was contributed by super PACS, corporations, nonprofits, and individuals (many whose identities were never disclosed).\u00a0 And when individuals and corporations (many of which are large multinational corporations) put their money into politics or politicians, it\u2019s considered an investment and a \u201creturn\u201d is expected.<\/p>\n<p>While history is replete with examples of the evils of money in politics, history also records that money in politics is also cyclical. The response to the historic campaign finance abuses during Nixon\u2019s era resulted in landmark campaign finance reform legislation.<\/p>\n<p>We are at a crossroads in America.\u00a0 With all the monies attempting to buy and corrupt our system, there also exists the opportunity to make major changes to our campaign finance process.\u00a0 But we must act, and this is the challenge!\u00a0 Nothing in a democracy has the potential to change the status quo as an informed voter.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to restore sanity to our beleaguered country and political system, and that begins with ending the legalized bribery that is running rampant and destroying our great nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please join Barb Adams and John J.

So how many countries do you think the U.S. has invaded in the course of our history, and how many countries do you think the U.S. has been involved with militarily?<\/p>\n<p>According to Kelley, \u201cA couple of years ago, I read a book called <em>All the Countries We&#8217;ve Ever<\/em> <em>Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To<\/em> (The History Press, 2012) by a British author, Stuart Laycock, asking the same questions about Britain. His answer was that Britain has invaded or fought conflicts in almost 90 percent of the world\u2019s countries. I thoroughly enjoyed his book, and eventually we met for a pint in London and a friendship blossomed. We decided to team up, using Stuart\u2019s passion for world history and my passion for American history to answer the questions about my country that I\u2019d wondered about for so long. This book is the result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what defines an invasion and what does \u201cmilitarily involved with\u201d mean?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf satellite reconnaissance counts as an \u2018invasion,\u2019 then clearly the answer is a very large figure. Ditto for NSA telephone surveillance. If you count American cultural invasions such as Elvis, McDonald\u2019s, or Hollywood, for example, we could include nearly every country in the world. That, however, seems a bit of a linguistic stretch,\u201d says Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nature of what constitutes an invasion has, of course, changed dramatically over the years. The old cry of \u2018Send in the Marines!\u2019 could, in the days of cyber-warfare, be replaced by \u2018Send in the nerds!\u2019 Should the introduction of a computer virus be considered an invasion?\u201d asks Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Listen in as Christopher Kelly discusses why remembering our military history is so vital for 2015 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Kelly is the son of a Korean War veteran and the descendant of Stephen Van Rensselaer, the leader of a disastrous invasion of Canada during the War of 1812. Kelly is the past Chairman of Chyron Corp. (now ChyronHego) and the former Director of Kelly Television Co. and Kelly Broadcasting.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/americainvades.com\">http:\/\/americainvades.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CALL 800-259-5791 TO SPEAK WITH CHRISTOPHER KELLY.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hour 3:\u00a0 Tom Paladino<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTO1Jan2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8717\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTO1Jan2015-138x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTO1Jan2015-138x150.jpg 138w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTO1Jan2015-330x360.jpg 330w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTO1Jan2015.jpg 377w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px\" \/><\/a>Joining Amerika Now during the final hour is Scalar Energy researcher <strong>Tom Paladino<\/strong>, who will be discussing his Scalar Energy Pathogen Cleansing instruments and healings.<\/p>\n<p>Was it medicine or really Scalar Energy Pathogen Cleansing that healed the infected U.S. Ebola victims? While doctors and hospitals were celebrating in the nation\u2019s headlines, Tom Paladino knew differently. He had been quietly disassembling the Ebola cells in their bodies using his Scalar Energy Pathogen Cleansing instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Why is Paladino convinced that his protocol was the cure? Because thousands of others since 2012 have been reporting remarkable recoveries from chronic illnesses such as Lyme Disease, HIV symptoms, hepatitis, herpes, MRSA, Epstein-Barr, psoriasis, chronic sinusitis and parasites among others. And a variety of his medically-diagnosed clients have the proof\u2014Viral Load Tests showing the elimination of the pathogen after exposure to the Scalar Energy Healing Sessions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTOJan2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8718\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTOJan2015-150x127.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTOJan2015-150x127.jpg 150w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TomPaladinoPHOTOJan2015.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Listen in tonight as Tom explains how his system, which took nearly 20 years to perfect, requires only a photo of an individual\u2014a focal point\u2014to work its treatment process. Paladino says there are no side effects when these bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoan cells disassemble as they simply transmute into elemental carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, calcium, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Paladino was always curious, even as a child growing up in New Rochelle, New York. But when he read about scientist, inventor and energy pioneer Nikola Tesla, it fired his imagination. It was then that Paladino\u2019s course was set, because no matter what else he did\u2014school, jobs, businesses\u2014his focus continued to be drawn back to energy, in particular Scalar Energy.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving a degree in English from San Diego State, Tom continued taking post-graduate courses for more than 10 years. At age 33, however, he had a major breakthrough when he was brought into contact with the widow of the famous energy scientist, Galen Hieronymous, whose work he had studied extensively. Sara Hieronmymous gave Tom her husband\u2019s private notes and allowed him to see the inner workings of their initial instruments. It was a major turning point.<\/p>\n<p>For the next 15+ years, Tom worked to perfect his own Scalar Energy technology, and eventually, in 2012, brought out his Scalar Energy Pathogen Cleansing to the public. As a pioneer in this form of energy medicine, Paladino is the banner carrier for Scalar Energy as the solution to many of the world\u2019s health crises.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/selfhealgo.com\">http:\/\/selfhealgo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CALL 800-259-5791 TO SPEAK WITH TOM PALADINO.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ym_1007925900364593340\" class=\"ym\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 31, 2015 &#8211; Archives\/Pod Casts\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 3 Hour 1:\u00a0 OPEN DISCUSSION with John J.
