"Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings -- give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel." --Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Convention, 1788

Original Post from Ciro Villa:

Extraordinary!  Quantum teleportation achieved for two remote groups of atoms (atomic-ensemble) the for first time

"(Phys.org)—One of the key components of quantum communication is quantum teleportation, a technique used to transfer quantum states to distant locations without actual transmission of the physical carriers. Quantum teleportation relies on entanglement, and it has so far been demonstrated between single photons, between a photon and matter, and between single ions. Now for the first time, physicists have demonstrated quantum teleportation by entangling two remote macroscopic atomic ensembles, each with a radius of about 1 mm.

The researchers, led by Jian-Wei Pan of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany, have published their paper on "Quantum teleportation between remote atomic-ensemble quantum memories" in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

The Federalist No. 45Alleged Danger From the Powers of the Union to the State Governments ConsideredIndependent JournalSaturday, January 26, 1788[James Madison]"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."Huh?  What happened?  Why is the fed so involved with what the state is supposed to be handling?

"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country." --Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788Unfortunately, this doctrine went out the window during the mid-late 1900s.  Line 100 college grads up and ask them what this country's economic system is and I'll bet you only 1 may know.  Ask them what our government is based on and what is our model and I'll bet only 1 may know.  Totally sad and leads us to this false belief that we are entitled to this, that and everything else.  Well boys and girls, we are not entitled.  We are guaranteed Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We were never guaranteed a hand out.  In fact our forebears were vehemently against it - for a reason.  That history goes clear back to Jamestown.

"A cover-up in the Obama administration? I know what you are thinking: No way; not the most transparent, patriotic administration ever. It must be an act of the gods or perhaps the Mayan calendar. But really, the recent resignation of General Petraeus from the position of director of the C.I.A. has to be related to Benghazi. Either that or to the Bermuda Triangle. Because here is another remarkable coincidence: Neither the FBI, nor United States Marines are responsible for the security of consulates and embassies. The C.I.A. is tasked with that job. ...

"So the administration would have us believe that only after the election was the president told by the FBI that an investigation with possible national-security implications -- involving no less than the director of the Central Intelligence Agency -- has been going on since the summer. We're also to believe that the director's resignation after the election and before congressional hearings on Benghazi is purely coincidental. Not only that, but when the most powerful man in the world learned of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, he immediately ordered that everything be done to secure all personnel at the site -- but apparently, everyone ignored him. So he did what any commander in chief would do under such circumstances -- he went to bed. Yes, they really do think we're that stupid." --attorney Peter Kirsanow

"Quite aside from the immediate effects of particular policies, Barack Obama has repeatedly circumvented the laws, including the Constitution of the United States, in ways and on a scale that pushes this nation in the direction of arbitrary one-man rule. Now that Obama will be in a position to appoint Supreme Court justices who can rubber stamp his evasions of the law and usurpations of power, this country may be unrecognizable in a few years as the America that once led the world in freedom, as well as in many other things. Barack Obama's boast, on the eve of the election of 2008 -- 'We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America' -- can now be carried out, without fear of ever having to face the voters again. This 'transforming' project extends far beyond fundamental internal institutions, or even the polarization and corruption of the people themselves, with goodies handed out in exchange for their surrendering their birthright of freedom." --economist Thomas Sowell

Well, this is just your DIRECT expense, directly out of your income.  This doesn't touch the raising cost of the products and services you buy that will have to raise their prices because of THEIR higher costs... and this isn't about the ridiculously higher prices you're already paying on energy and the higher prices of energy yet to come thanks to this leftist president.

Lowest Fifth means your income is around $11,239, you'll pay $412 more/yr.
Middle fifth means your income is around $49,000, you'll pay $1,984 more/yr.
Highest fifth is $178,000 of income, you'll pay $14,173 more/yr.
