To anyone that has been paying attention, the insulting behavior of our president and our congress has been an embarrassment not only for the despicable disrespectful treatment of our military but they have spit in the face of every American living and breathing the air in this country. Americans just do not put up with this crap- Just who do these usurpers think they are? Obama with the help of Harry Reid, a soulless coward, a malevolently inspired self-serving troglodyte, favors beating up and bullying our WWII, Vietnam Veterans and all soldiers dead or alive that have served our country? Reid uses his clout as Senate Majority Leader to belittle and ridicule any colleague in the senate with his low brow remarks as a form of punishment for stating their opposition to his and Obama’s reprehensible agenda. I had no idea, Reid as an important member of The Church of the Later Day Saints, a Christian organization, has allied itself with The Islamic Relief Effort which he supports, even though Islam has vowed to either convert Christians to Islam or KILL THEM. Apparently, no one is safe from persecution while Reid and the Democrats hold sway over the political future of our country. We do not need or want arrogant officials (who have been living off the Tax Payer teat (Reid since 1969) for far too long) running at the mouth doling out unconscionable shame on the greatest country in the world debasing our country to the level of a Jerry Springer government.

Americans are tired of living your LIES as you fill your pockets and force Americans to suffer!

Senior Republicans like McCain and Graham are known to the Democrat hierarchy as “their” Republicans. Two Republican senators who are sorely in need of retirement because they will continue supporting Obama and Reid’s agenda instead of doing the job they were elected to do, representing the WILL of the PEOPLE and defending the Constitution they are under oath to protect.

The Federalists have taken over the Constitution which means taking care of Americans is NO LONGER a priority for elected officials. It’s all about protecting the Banks and corporations. Both partys have become the scourge of the American people. It’s time for a Third Party to emerge.. stop supporting altogether the partys demoralizing America. If something isn;t done soon to change the direction of this wayward government, the events happening over the last few months guarantee the US ending in fatal ruin if your voices are not heard. Speak out LOUD- and be heard.

Dr. Carson… “BETTER CALL SAUL!”

So, the IRS has been used by the Obama White House as a strong arm to intimidate and  persecute people making suggestions  that disagree with Obama’s new Health Care law.  Why? Because the good doctor has been in the HC industry forever and knows Obama’s vision of a HC plan for America will hurt the American people?  If the media refuses posing  questions digging at the Truth why your hc plan doesn’t work for US; then it’s up to  the people to ask questions concerning hc premium costs that will have a life long effect on both our physical and financial health.

(watch the video. Obama and Hatch sit as two porcelain fixtures eerily stoic, attempting to think themselves invisible wishing they could be flushed from listening to Carson’s tortuous Truth. That is, until Dr. Carson mentions GOD.  Hatch’s  head almost falls off in a sort of whiplash after the word GOD said out loud over a microphone permeates his cognition.)

Soon thereafter his speech at the WH Breakfast- Dr Carson received a notice from the IRS scheduling an audit- Coincidental?  I think not-

Dr. Benjamin Carson, the famed neurologist, is an expert in the structuring of  health care management. He knows of which he speaks.  He actually knows how the HC industry can be made affordable for the citizens of our country. And for this knowledge, he is being persecuted by the IRS.   WHY?    Shouldn’t his knowledge of how to improve the performance and administration of the health care system be sought out, and discussed openly with the public, where surely his suggestions for simplification of the existing version of the  HC Law,  he perhaps could design  a reasonable hc system fair to both the provider and the insured?

As soon as Dr Carson said the IRS had visited him consecutively for 3 yrs,  it wasn’t a quantum leap accepting the distinct possibility the IRS had singled him for multiple Tax Audits. Heck, they were able to stumble around stalling the Tea Party applications from qualifying for non-profit status,  denying legitimate organizations 501- 3C status under the law, at the very least  denying equal protection under the law, if not, purposeful ‘discrimination’ violating the law?

Dr. Carson,  ‘BETTER CALL SAUL’~ Or someone like him for a consultation.  Mafia lawyers always know where the bodies are buried.  They know where to look- (and how to defend their clients showing cause why a suit against the government should be instituted. )

Here is Dr Carson explaining his adventure with his IRS audits in the O’Reilly interview”…

Dr. Carson’s response hits it out of the park at the conclusion of the interview after O’Reilly extends a future  invitation to Dr Carson inviting him back to his show for a follow up visit, if and when, his encounters with the IRS should turn nasty.

Dr. Carson responds to O’Reilly’s invitation with this retort- :

“If GOD is for US; who, can stand against US?” -Romans, 8:31.

………………..

BTW- If you weren’t a ‘Breaking Bad’ fan,  Saul Goodman  was former hs chemistry teacher turned meth-cook. Walter White’s attorney in the much acclaimed series, Breaking Bad.  Saul was Walter White’s slim shady criminal attorney. A very funny likeable guy.. In fact, director, Vince Gilligan’s ‘Better Call Saul’.. character will be a spin off after the close of the final episodes  and reruns of Breaking Bad…

I personally liked Saul’s character on the show.  Why?  Because Saul was a solution/resolution oriented kinda guy imparting hefty doses of double entendre in his dialog  when interacting with difficult clients..

UN Sec’y Gen.: National Sovereignty Is a Gift of the United Nations

On September 11, the United Nations reasserted that it believes it has the exclusive and undeniable right to determine when a people is worthy of sovereignty and when the UN must step in and rule for them.

At an informal meeting of the General Assembly, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared the international body’s continuing commitment to protecting populations of member states from suffering under regimes that fail to “fulfill their obligations under the rule of law.” This includes Syria, Libya, and anywhere else in the world that isn’t toeing the one-world-government line.

Societies, said Ban, must “embrace diversity” or face the intervention of regional and international bodies that will step in to “protect and empower” the people living under the offending regime.

In order to impose its will and enforce its vision of “diversity,” the UN will prevent the governments of member states from passing laws, programs, and policies that prohibit the establishment of a UN-approved body of law.

Preventing governments from opposing the UN is a significant step toward the achievement of the UN’s ultimate aim: permanent aggregation of all national sovereignty into one global entity under the rule of globalists bureaucrats. Ban addressed this issue in his statement on September 11:

Prevention may sound abstract, but it is very concrete and specific. It means, among many things, that States translate obligations and standards set out in international law, notably international humanitarian and human rights law, into policies, programmes, laws and institutions that protect and empower their people.

This principle underlying this drive to force nations to, as U.S. UN Ambassador Samantha Power (shown) said, give up a “pinch of sovereignty” ( she means, a little pregnant?) in exchange for the United Nation’s version of peace and prosperity is known as Responsibility to Protect (R2P).

Power, it must be noted, played a significant role in the development of R2P. Her influence on President Obama and his nationally televised address on Syria was recognized by National Review Online. “This was a Samantha Power speech,” wrote Stanley Kurtz, referring to President Obama’s call for American intervention in Syria.

Americans committed to the maintaining our Republic, our Constitution, and our right to determine our own laws, regulations, and policies must become familiar with the Responsibility to Protect doctrine and the extraordinary lengths the UN will go to to impose its provisions.

In an address given in last September, the UN secretary-general promoted the global shadow government’s ultimate goal of eradicating national sovereignty by way of the R2P policy.

Agreed to by the UN General Assembly at a summit of world leaders in 2005, R2P purports to grant the global government power to decide whether individual nations are properly exercising their sovereignty.

UN literature describes R2P as the concept that holds “states responsible for shielding their own populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and related crimes against humanity and requires the international community to step in if this obligation is not met.”

That is to say, if the UN determines that a national government is not voluntarily conforming to the UN’s idea of safety, then the “international community” will impose its will by force, all for the protection of that nation’s citizens.

Lest anyone believe that the globalists at the UN are simply pacifists whose desire is to meekly encourage regimes to treat their people kindly, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon took a more forceful posture at the conference held at the UN headquarters in New York:

We all agree that sovereignty must not be a shield behind which States commit grave crimes against their people. But achieving prevention and protection can be difficult. In recent years, we have shown how good offices, preventive diplomacy, mediation, commissions of inquiry and other peaceful means can help pull countries back from the brink of mass violence.

However, when non-coercive measures fail or are considered inadequate, enforcement under Chapter VII will need to be considered by the appropriate intergovernmental bodies. This includes carefully crafted sanctions and, in extreme circumstances,

the use of force.

Chapter VII of the UN Charter authorizes the Security Council to use force in the face of a threat to peace or aggression, taking “such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security.” As there is currently no UN military, all such interventions are carried out by the national armed forces of member nations.

Faithfully, the United States, as the chief financial engine of the international body, has not only signed on to promote the Responsibility to Protect scheme, but President Obama has established a federal agency to ensure that it is executed effectively.

The agency is the White House Atrocities Prevention Board (APB), which was headed by Samantha Power until she was confirmed as the U.S. ambassador to the UN.

Exercising the powers he created for himself in Executive Order 13606, President Barack Obama demonstrated his support for the R2P program when he established the Atrocities Prevention Board.

The stated goal of the APB is to first formally recognize that genocide and other mass atrocities committed by foreign powers are a “core national security interest and core moral responsibility.”

Apart from the unconstitutionality of this use of the executive order, there was something sinister in the selection of ***Samantha Power*** to spearhead the search for atrocities.

One source claims that the very existence of the APB is due to Power’s own persistence in convincing the White House that discovering atrocities should be a “core national-security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States.” The statement released at the time of the signing of the executive order demonstrates Power’s remarkable power of persuasion.

Samantha Power rose to prominence in government circles as part of her campaign to promote the Responsibility to Protect scheme.

Responsibility to Protect is predicated on the proposition that sovereignty is a privilege, not a right, and that if any regime in any nation violates the UN-approved code of conduct, then the international community is morally obligated to revoke that nation’s sovereignty and assume command and control of the offending country.

The three pillars of this UN sovereignty grab explain the provenance of this presumed prerogative:

1. A state has a responsibility to protect its population from mass atrocities;

2. The international community has a responsibility to assist the state if it is unable to protect its population on its own; and

3. If the state fails to protect its citizens from mass atrocities and peaceful measures have failed, the international community has the responsibility to intervene through coercive measures such as economic sanctions. Military intervention is considered the last resort.

It is the habitual recourse to this purported “last resort” that has cost countless American lives and has propelled our Republic closer to becoming a mere regional administrative unit of the global government of the United Nations. This has been borne out in Mali, Libya, the Ivory Coast, and now, in Syria.

Using history as a guide, Americans know that the pseudo-pacifists running the United Nations believe that if the social contract fails, there’s always the option of deploying blue-helmeted soldiers to impose “peace” at the point of a gun.

To that end, Special Advisor of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide Adama Dieng recommended delegates work in their individual governments to contribute to an armed UN force under the command of the global government. Reciting the third point of R2P, Dieng pushed for more powerful tools to carry out the third pillar. “It is our collective responsibility to study the implications of the use of each of them, and to understand the conditions under which the potential of each tool can be maximized,” Dieng said. “It is also our responsibility to establish and strengthen the structures that will make third-pillar tools actionable and effective.”

No matter the frequency or ferocity of the moral outrage spewed by internationalists, the government of the United States does not have a constitutional responsibility to protect the citizens of the world from atrocities.

And nowhere in the Constitution is the president or Congress authorized to place the armed forces of the United States under the command of international bodies, regardless of treaty obligations or sovereignty-stealing “responsibilities” to the contrary.

At the September 11 meeting of the General Assembly, Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson echoed his boss’s call for intervention in Syria. “Everybody has a role to play. Nobody can do everything; and everybody can do something,” Eliasson said. “We pay an enormous price for waiting for conflicts to get worse,” he added.

Eliasson unwittingly gave Americans sound advice.

We all can do something, and the first thing we should do is immediately demand that our elected representatives support legislation that would get the United States out of the United Nations and get the United Nations out of the United States.

If we fail to do this, we will indeed pay an “enormous price” and the UN’s attacks on our sovereignty will only get worse. How long until the UN decides that the Bill of Rights (principally the freedom of religion and the right to keep and bear arms) is a violation of humanitarian law and send international forces to demand that those rights be suspended in the name of the responsibility to protect?

We must act now.

The Truth Surfaces… Belgian And Italian Captives Tell World – Rebels Responsible For Chemical Attack

(ht/Ulsterman
ALERT: Belgian And Italian Captives Tell World – Rebels Responsible For Chemical Attack
This is just now being picked up via European media, but largely ignored by American media. Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin and Italian journalist Domenico Quiric were both captives of Syrian rebel forces inside Syria. Both men are now indicating having heard first hand proof that Syrian rebels were the ones responsible for the August chemical attack inside Syria – the very attack Barack Obama is using as proof the United States must bomb the Syrian government. How can American citizens, and the world, trust such an incompetent and dangerous Commander in Chief? The answer is simple – we cannot.

Belgian national Pierre Piccinin (L) disembark from the airplane on September 9, 2013 at Ciampino military airport in Rome

…………..

Chemical attack was Syria rebel provocation, former hostages say
Two Europeans who were abducted and held hostage for several months in Syria claim they overheard an exchange between their captors which proves that rebels were behind the recent chemical attack.

In a number of interviews to European news outlets, the former hostages – Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin and Italian journalist Domenico Quiric – said they overheard an English-language Skype conversation between their captors and other men which suggested it was rebel forces, not the government, that used chemical weapons on Syria’s civilian population in an August 21 attack near Damascus.

“It is a moral duty to say this. The government of Bashar al-Assad did not use sarin gas or other types of gas in the outskirts of Damascus,” Piccinin said during an interview with Belgium’s RTL radio station.

…While stating that the rebels most likely exaggerated the accident’s death toll, the Italian journalist stressed that he could not vouch whether “the conversation was based on real facts.” However, he said that one of the three people in the alleged conversation identified himself as a Free Syrian Army general, La Stampa reported.

Based on what both men have learned, Peccinin told RTL that it would be “insane and suicidal for the West to support these people.”

“It pains me to say it because I’ve been a fierce supporter of the Free Syrian Army in its rightful fight for democracy since 2012,” Piccinin added. Link

Brzezinski: ‘Global Political Awakening’ Making Syrian War Difficult.

During a short interview with Germany’s DW News last Monday, former US National Security Adviser and Trilateral Commission co-founder Zbigniew Brzezinski commented on the growing inefficiency of war due to the increased political knowledge of the public.

“Given the contemporary reality of what I have called in my writings ‘Global Political Awakening,’ a policy of force based primarily on Western and in some cases former colonial powers does not seem to me a very promising avenue to an eventual solution to the regional problem,” said Brzezinski, referring to the situation in Syria.

Despite Brzezinski’s noted long-term relationship with Obama which included a top foreign policy adviser position, Brzezinski denied any specific knowledge of his plans regarding Syria, saying that if the administration has a strategy, it’s a “very well-kept secret.”

Obama’s Middle Eastern strategy has been a mere continuation of the policies seen under Bush, exemplified by former four star general and NATO commander Wesley Clark’s admission of the Bush-era Pentagon plan to overthrow several countries including Libya and Syria.

Although Brzezinski at times attempts to appear opposed to military interventionism, President Obama’s actions in Syria, which include the support of admitted Al Qaeda fighters, closely mirrors several of Brzezinski’s previous policies, most notably the opposition to the Soviet Union in 1979, where decisions made by Brzezinski led to the creation of Al Qaeda through the CIA funding of the Afghan Mujaheddin.

Brzezinski’s call of warning to the “global political awakening” has only intensified in recent years. Last year during a speech in Poland, Brzezinski noted that it has become “increasingly difficult to suppress” and control the “persistent and highly motivated populist resistance of politically awakened and historically resentful peoples.”

Brzezinski also blamed the accessibility of “radio, television and the Internet” for the “universal awakening of mass political consciousness.“[The] major world powers, new and old, also face a novel reality: while the lethality of their military might is greater than ever, their capacity to impose control over the politically awakened masses of the world is at a historic low.

“To put it bluntly: in earlier times, it was easier to control one million people than to physically kill one million people; today, it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control one million people,”

said Brzezinski during a 2010 (video) at a Council on Foreign Relations speech in Montreal.

Despite attempts by both the Republican and Democratic leadership to gain support for a war in Syria, a new Reuters poll revealed that only 9 percent of Americans support military intervention in Syria. If the United States intervenes, it will be the least popular war in American history.

The massive and growing evidence forced out by the alternative media, which points to a US backed chemical attack by Al Qaeda led rebel forces to be blamed on Assad, has only accelerated the inevitable downfall of the corporate press that is now only trusted by 23 percent of the public.

BLOCKBUSTER: Meet The Man Who Murdered American Ambassador Chris Stevens…

His name is Mohsen Al-Azazi, an operative within the Muslim Brotherhood, and according to former top intelligence official with the Egyptian government, is part of an operation that continues to receive aid from the Obama administration.

The murky motivations of the Benghazi Massacre have been prevalent on various alternative media blogs since the tragedy first occurred. This latest report though is from Fox News, which it would seem, has been watching (and learning) from some of those initial alternative media reports.

The primary source for the name Mohsen Al-Azazi comes directly from public statements by Ahmed Moussa, a former high ranking intelligence official with the Egyptian government, and a man who quite accurately predicted the coming downfall of the Morsi-led Muslim Brotherhood regime.

From the Fox News report:

In the course of this statement, Moussa announced three facts:

1. Ambassador Chris Stevens’ assassin in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, is named Mohsen Al-Azazi.

2. Azizi associates with Mohammed El-Beltagy, the general secretary of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and with Safwat Hegazy, a leading MB cleric.

3. The police found Azizi’s passport in the house of leading MB strategist Khairat El-Shater, presumbably when Shater was arrested on July 5.

If true, this is sensational news, for it directly ties the MB to anti-American terrorism and repudiates the Obama administration policy of trying to work with the MB. It also further confirms that the MB is a terrorist organization.

It might explain why the Obama administration is mediating in talks with Egypt’s interim government for a “reconciliation process” that would permit a safe exist for Morsi and other MB leaders outside Egypt without a trial that likely would disclose more embarrassing details about Benghazi.

But is the news that Moussa announced true? Several indications point to its veracity.

First, Moussa is a well-regarded source who often interviews intelligence agents and high-ranking military personnel on his show and is renowned for breaking intelligence-related news.

In March, for example, he broke the news that Egyptian intelligence stopped sending Mohammed Morsi written briefings and limited its reports to verbal communication, a reflection of its fear that his affiliation to an international Islamist organization (with over seventy branches worldwide) would compromise the information. As well as revealing some of the details of the meeting that took place on 30 July between Morsi and Catherine Ashton, British Labour politician and diplomat.

Second, as I reported in March, in a video shot during the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Egyptian jihadists approaching the U.S. installations said in Egyptian colloquial Arabic, “Don’t shoot, Dr. Morsi sent us.”

Moussa further went on to say, still addressing Patterson on this TV show:

Ask the Muslim Brotherhood to hand Azizi to U.S. authorities. — And of course they will not, as he is there to wage terrorist attacks against Egyptian citizens, as he hides there in the protection in Rabia, among killers with massive amounts of weapons … Why doesn’t the MB, which you often praise, hand him to you?

That question has yet to be answered by either Amb. Patterson, President Obama or the U.S. government.

So, according to Ahmed Moussa, the United States has a known terrorist being both protected and supported by the Obama government desperate to keep its links to the Muslim Brotherhood hidden away from public knowledge, including, but not limited to, the Brotherhood’s direct involvement in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Those paying attention also know that the Obama government has hidden away the survivors of the Benghazi, with various reports indicating considerable intimidation, relocation, and refusal to share specific names of survivors with members of Congress.

We know the Obama White House repeated over and over again an outright lie as to why the attacks in Benghazi occurred. We know the administration was quick to support the Morsi-Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, and is now equally unwilling to support Morsi’s departure.

We know that the nation of Turkey is under the rule of Muslim Brotherhood affiliate (The New York Times declared Turkey the “model” for Muslim Brotherhood success in the Middle East) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Erdogan in turn has been very supportive of the Obama administration. Please read this quote from an earlier report on this very blog in May of 2013:So, according to Ahmed Moussa, the United States has a known terrorist being both protected and supported by the Obama government desperate to keep its links to the Muslim Brotherhood hidden away from public knowledge, including, but not limited to, the Brotherhood’s direct involvement in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

“…Which bring us then to the events in Syria. Make no mistake, Syria is no friend of the United States. That said, Barack Obama and his Turkish cohorts are once again pushing to replace a dictator with a Sharia ruler. Libya is now over-run with Islamic radicals. So too is Egypt and Tunisia. The power and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood is growing at an alarming pace – a growth in power that extends directly to the Obama White House:

“A year-long investigation by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has found that scores of known radical Islamists made hundreds of visits to the Obama White House, meeting with top administration officials.

Court documents and other records have identified many of these visitors as belonging to groups serving as fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and other Islamic militant organizations.” Investigative Journalist LINK

Now remember reader, who did Chris Stevens meet with only an hour before the terrorist attack that killed him in Benghazi?

It was with a representative of the Turkish government. An hour after that representative walked out the front door of the Benghazi consulate, it was under an attack led by Mohsen Al-Azazi, the very man it is now said receives support and protection from the Obama government…

ALERT: Barack Obama’s Forced Integration Plan – Coming Soon To YOUR Neighborhood

via/DW Ulsterman

Yet another chilling move by the Obama administration and its bevy of Big Government socialists was put out on display this week.  This time, Dear Leader indicated his intention of punishing American neighborhoods his government deems not “inclusive” enough.  Punishments will be dealt out via withholding federal funding to local and state governments found to be just too darn WHITE.  This isn’t a joke readers – we actually have an American president communicating these very intentions.  It is centralized control of every facet of your lives, and it is being put in place right now.  Please share this one readers – it is a story that is particularly important and one that should alarm even some who remain ardent Obama supporters…

..

Obama to Force Integration of Neighborhoods

President Obama appears set to move boldly beyond prosecuting discriminatory housing practices into an entirely new arena: holding state and local official responsible for integrating areas that don’t, in the eyes of the administration, have enough minorities.

Get ready folks. We’re moving from a society based on equal opportunity for all to one requiring equal results for all. And you think I’m overdoing when I say Obama is prodding us toward Socialism?

In a speech to the NAACP last week that is only now gaining attention, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan said the administration is letting neighborhoods know if they don’t have enough minorities:

“HUD is enhancing its enforcement techniques by initiating investigations on our own without waiting for individuals to file complaints . . .

For the first time ever, HUD is providing information, data to every single neighborhood in the nation, detailing what access African American families and other members of protected classes have to the community assets that I’m talking about – jobs, schools, transit.”
Here’s some additional reporting from Stirewalt on the Fox website

“The old way was to punish exclusion. The new way is to punish lack of inclusion.
The punishment is also different. Rather than fines and prosecutions for those who sought to keep minorities out, the new penalty would be a withholding of federal funds from local and state government agencies dependent on HUD grants if they fail to push greater diversity. The way those agencies interact with developers, realtors, homeowners associations and others would need to reflect the federal push for diversity.

The report card comes in the form of the new maps, which use Census data to score communities on their racial and ethnic concentrations, as well as income and community services.”

Wow. Officials will now be trying to protect themselves from losing out on federal funding by moving minorities into neighborhoods WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE THERE OR NOT. And – talk about unintended consequences – whether they can afford to be there or not. Unless – yes, my crystal ball, please – the government decides that minorities should be offered a special price for a home.

This type of social engineering has so much potential for abuse, unfairness, and interference in the normal workings of the economy that it’s almost impossible to believe the Obama and his commissars are serious. And yet, it seems they are.

Did you think Obama was going to stop at taking over your health care? It’s just the beginning, baby. Link

Obama to Force Integration of Neighborhoods

As I said in the comments above, please share this one far and wide. The stakes of 2014 are quickly increasing in importance all around us – this current administration is ready and more than willing to make a very strong push to implement all of its transformational plans upon the United States, and at present, as pathetic as they often are, the GOP is the only thing standing in the way of total domination toward that end. Sadly, it appears the world of DOMINATUS and TUMULTUS is appearing with increasing frequency all around us now… -UM

Ah yes, fairness for all, and responsibility from all.

Sound familiar?

Okay, that video is satire. At least, for me it is. No I don’t think Obama is a Communist. But he has fundamental problems with the capitalist philosophy that has guided this country to greatness. Because, you know, it doesn’t spread the wealth around quite enough.

Tumultus

I for one, can tell you from what I have read so far, Tumultus is a book every American needs to read. If Edward Snowden has exposed a first look at Obama’s nefarious covert activities transforming America into a police state where we no longer enjoy our inalienable God given right to Privacy, Liberty and Freedom. Ulsterman has taken the time elaborating in his book based on what we already know is Obama’s blueprint for his vision of America. That trust me, after reading Tumultus you will have a true understanding of Obamas plans for America that will horrify you…

HOLD THAT THOUGHT

Now Comes this announcement:

• July 8, 2013
• By: Marilyn Daly

WASHINGTON, DC – JULY 7: (AFP OUT) U.S. President Barack Obama aboard Marine One arrives on the South Lawn of the White House July 7, 2013 in Washington, D.C. Obama spent the holiday weekend at Camp David.

RT has reported that in a secretly unannounced move, President Barack Obama signed an executive order giving the Department of Homeland Security the ability to shut down all of the United States’ communications systems upon his request. Barack Obama laid out a statement he titled “Assignment of National Security Emergency Preparedness Communications Function”. No doubt a very confusing title. The reasoning behind his issuing of this executive order, is that he feels the government may one day need to access all of our telephones, computers, cable communications, etc., in the name of national security.

“The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive mission.”

The American public should be concerned about what this “mission” could be. In a presidential election, one candidate’s mission may not be the same as his opponents. RT quotes the president as saying:

“Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national security..”

The fact that our nation needs so much “national security” is puzzling, given the fact that President Obama has declared himself leader of the front that has ended terrorism in the U.S. It seems like now, more than ever, our nation is in peril according to the State Department; but many U.S. citizens are asking themselves, “From what?”, or better yet, “From who?”

According to Obama, the items of confiscation, or shut down can include: wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, broadcasting, internet, and other key information systems. Never in United States’ history has a president given himself the authority to shut down the entire nation and immobilize the citizenry.

The public has been alerted recently that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been buying an excessive amount of weaponry and ammunitions; inclusive of hallow point bullets. DHS has also been given authority to “supervise” some protests throughout the nation. Tea Party groups have had several organized and peaceful protests circled by Department of Homeland Security officers, leading many to believe that DHS has been given the authority to intimidate as well.

If you combine bullets with nationwide immobilizing of all communications, the power given unto the government, is a power our founding fathers never foresaw, nor wished.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently announced that they had already used drones on Americans for surveillance. This is just one step closer to American’s journey towards a police state.

An IRS Scandal Inseparable from Obamacare

By David Catron on 5.28.13 @

The IRS attempts to save Obamacare by unilaterally declaring that it will disregard the law.

Thanks to ubiquitous if imperfectly honest press coverage, most Americans know about the IRS scandal involving tax-exempt applications from various Tea Party groups. The public is still, however, getting the mushroom treatment on two other outrages by that rogue agency. The media have devoted scant coverage to its theft of 60 million medical records, now the subject of a class action lawsuit, and they have been all but silent regarding the illegal IRS scheme to fund Obamacare’s federal insurance exchanges.

As scary as is the medical record theft, which I wrote about here last week, the more important of these two additional scandals involves IRS skullduggery relating to the exchanges. A year ago, the IRS finalized a regulatory ruling to the effect that it will issue tax credits through Obamacare’s federal insurance exchangesy is that such a big deal? Well, the IRS has been granted no legal authority, by the Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or any other act of Congress, to issue such credits. In fact, the ruling flouts the explicit language of Obamacare.

PPACA stipulates that all such assistance must emanate from state-run exchanges. Even if the federal government sets up an exchange in a state that has declined to do so, it wouldn’t be authorized to issue tax credits. And because 27 states have refused to set up exchanges, this restriction will cripple Obamacare. Without the ability to dole out tax credits and subsidies in more than half of the states, the Beltway bureaucrats attempting to implement the much-despised “reform” law will be hamstrung.

The IRS is attempting to save Obamacare by unilaterally declaring that it will issue tax credits through all exchanges, federal and state alike. Immediately upon the promulgation of this rule, a number of experts on the health care law pointed out that it was illegal. In a paper for Health Matrix, Jonathan Adler and Michael Cannon wrote, “The plain text of the Act only authorizes premium-assistance tax credits … for those who purchase plans on state-run Exchanges.”

Adler and Cannon go on to spell out the breathtaking scope of this IRS plan to offer tax credits through all exchanges: “[T]he IRS is attempting to create two entitlements not authorized by Congress.” Michael Gerson, one of the few who have addressed this in the MSM, puts it thus: “The IRS seized the authority to spend about $800 billion over 10 years on benefits that were not authorized by Congress.” In other words, the IRS has arrogated “The Power of the Purse,” a right reserved to Congress by the Constitution.

This is obviously an unprecedented and dangerous power grab. And it gets worse. Adler and Cannon also point out that the arbitrary IRS rule will allow it “to tax employers whom Congress did not authorize the agency to tax.” Just as PPACA stipulates that tax credits can only be issued through state-run exchanges, it also says that employer mandates can only originate from these entities. Therefore, the IRS isn’t legally authorized to fine noncompliant businesses in a state that has refused to set up an exchange.

Yet it clearly intends to do so. As it did with the tax-exempt applications of conservative groups and the confidential medical records of millions of U.S. citizens, the IRS plans to simply disregard the law. Because of the harm this feature of the rule will inflict on many businesses, it has generated several lawsuits. The most promising of these was filed last month in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by a group of small businesses challenging the rule as an extralegal expansion of Obamacare.

According to Michael Carvin, one of the attorneys representing the group, “The IRS rule we are challenging is at war with [PPACA’s] plain language and completely rewrites the deal that Congress made with the states on running these insurance exchanges.” Another of the group’s lawyers put the rule in context thus: “ObamaCare is already an incredibly massive program. For the IRS to expand it even more, without congressional authorization and in a manner aimed at undercutting state choice, is flagrantly illegal.”

It will come as no surprise that this illegal expansion of Obamacare involved at least one of the IRS officials at the center of the Tea Party scandal. According to United Liberty’s Brian Gilmore, the regulation has short-lived Commissioner Steven Miller’s “fingerprints all over it.” Indeed, Gilmore reports that it was Miller who approved it: “Page 30400 of the Federal Register states you-know-who as having approved the regulation: ‘Steven T. Miller, [then] Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement. Approved: May 16, 2012.’”

Interestingly, that was two weeks after Miller was informed that “applications for tax-exempt status by tea party groups were … singled out for extra scrutiny.” And yet we are told by the hot shot “reporters” of the establishment media that the metastasizing IRS scandals have nothing to do with Obamacare. In reality, the IRS scandals and the crime against democracy known as the “Affordable Care Act” are symptoms of a single disease, merely the two most obvious pustules of an administration scabrous with corruption.

As long as the voters allow this sick regime to stay in office, we can expect it to use the IRS and any other handy bureaucracy to target its political enemies and to issue illegal decrees. They have little respect for the law and less for the voters. There is only one cure for this disease: Obama, his congressional accomplices, and the enabling media must be replaced by people with at least a passing familiarity with ethics and integrity.

A few comments by ATB:

Call your Congressmen …Let them know… (that YOU know) they are obligated to stand up to these usurpation of powers by the Federal government now….

This is a must read…if left to stand …it is the Trojan Horse that destroys this nation…the Gestapho IRS has usurped the power of the purse and of Congress…

Read the above thoroughly and you’ll understand the arrogance of the IRS officials who testified before Congress…they understand completely what Congress doesn’t …they’ve made Congress completely irrelevant …the IRS has usurped their every power.

Once it was determined that the American people hated Obamacare and didn´t want it, this corrupt Administration went into action fitting its various Agencies with non-existent powers to do that which Congress won´t.

“[T]he IRS is attempting to create two entitlements not authorized by Congress.”

Once again, Obama is doing an end-run around Congress, knowing full well that Congress won´t get his agenda passed for him. So Obama creates powers he hopes no one will examine.

This is seminal to our liberty and freedom. Every news outlet, including talk radio, should let Americans know that this President doesn´t have the power to do half the things he is doing.

THAT is the real scandal here; enabling his Agencies to do that which the various ACTS don´t

A filibuster dare? Obama reportedly plans three simultaneous nominations to DC Circuit

By Debra Cassens Weiss

President Obama is reportedly planning a bold move after winning approval for Srikanth “Sri” Srinivasan for a spot on the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In a “more aggressive” strategy, Obama plans to nominate three people simultaneously to the federal appeals court, the New York Timesreports. “He will effectively be daring Republicans to find specific ground to filibuster all the nominees,” the story says. An announcement could come this week.

With Srinivasan’s confirmation, the court currently has four judges who are Democratic appointees and four who are Republican appointees. However, five out of six senior judges are Republican appointees, giving the court “a strongly conservative flavor,” the Times says.

Some names that have surfaced as possible nominees include Georgetown law professor Cornelia Pillard, who formerly worked for the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; consumer and investor lawyer David Frederick, who worked for five years in the Solicitor General’s office; and appellate lawyerPatricia Ann Millett of Akin Gump, who worked for a decade in the Solicitor General’s office.

Democrats plan to schedule several confirmation votes on federal court nominees this summer, which could bring attention to the filibuster issue if votes are blocked. Some Democrats hope the publicity could lead to a rule change that would prevent filibusters of judicial nominees, the story says.

UPDATES DAILY: An incestual mainstream press- The WH struggling to coverup scandals..

Don’t Blow It on Benghazi: The Focus Must Be Obama, NOT HILLARY CLINTON!

America could be on the cusp of a great victory–a victory for accountability and truth. The Benghazi debacle is, at last, breaking into the public consciousness. Indeed, in its outlines, finally visible as the coverup unravels, Benghazi is starting to look like a scandal, bringing up memories of an earlier scandal, Watergate.

Yet the Republicans could still blow it, not only for themselves, but much more importantly, for the country. They could blow it, that is, if they make the terrible mistake of turning an honest and necessary inquiry about the events of 2012 and 2013 into a contrived exercise in political positioning for 2016.

Yes, I am looking at you, Karl Rove. After your abysmal campaign performance in 2012, it’s painfully evident that your too-clever-by-half tricks in 2013–injecting your presidential-campaign-style attack spot into the Benghazi investigation–could undercut your own party yet again.

We’ll get back to Rove in the third installment, but first, let’s assess where we are on Benghazi.

As we all know by now, the Obama administration bungled everything about Benghazi on September 11, 2012, leading to the tragic death of our ambassador and three more brave Americans. Yet at the same time, we must admit that the administration was successful in covering up its own fecklessness–at least well enough to get through last year’s presidential election.

Yet in the last few days, that coverup has been uncovered, as all Americans can now see. [snip]

Speaking of coverups and the obstruction of justice, I might add that for me, as someone who experienced Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal firsthand back in the 70s, the memories of that sordid mess have all come flooding back as I think on this new sordid mess.

The cliché of scandals is that it’s usually not the incident itself that’s so serious, but rather, the cover-up of the incident. That was certainly true of Watergate; yes, it was a criminal conspiracy from the outset–a conspiracy to rig the re-election of Richard Nixon–but it’s not clear that Nixon knew about it in advance. Yet he did know soon after the June 17, 1972 break-in, and instead of cleaning house, he helped to cover it up. That’s what turned Watergate from a election scandal into an impeachment scandal. [snip]

But of course, then Obama would have had to cancel his campaign events, hunker down in the White House, and prove himself to be a real commander-in-chief. [snip]

It never seems to have occurred to Obama, or anyone else in his administration, that the Benghazi tragedy required some sort of midcourse correction, away from campaigning and toward governing. No, the campaign strategy had been set in Chicago long before: The Obama re-election campaign was predicated on the idea that the 44th President had killed Osama Bin Laden and won the war on terror.

So Obama’s team was all assembled for that famous photo in the White House Situation Room as they awaited the news of the Bin Laden raid in Pakistan on May 1, 2011. But then, more than a year later, a new attack by Al Qaeda on a new 9/11 simply wasn’t part of the carefully laid out campaign script. And since campaigning was paramount,the Al Qaeda role in the Benghazi attack had to be airbrushed out by the White House–with the aid, of course, of an adoring media.

Thus the terrorist assassins became, in the Obama narrative, just an unruly mob, fired up by some dumb Mohammed video made in California. Once that cover story was settled upon, that was the beginning of the cover-up of Benghazi.

As the rubble in Benghazi was still smoldering, the President declared, on September 12, 2012, “We will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.” And then he was aboard Air Force One, off to Las Vegas, for a rally and fundraiser.

The immediate question, of course, is what Obama left behind in Washington D.C. that day. Increasingly, it appears that he left his underlings in Washington to work out the new and dishonest Benghazi narrative–the cover-up. The goal was to insulate the President from all this bad news–he had nothing to do with it. Isn’t it interesting, for example, that no photos were ever released of the President working on the Benghazi crisis on the night of the attacks? Nope, with the November election just six weeks away, the White House strategy was clear: The President was to kept far, far away from anything that might make the votes wonder if they had the right commander-in-chief.

Thus we come to the more important question–the ultimate question: What did the President know? (and when did he know it?)

Everything else, in the long run, flows from that. Obama might not know it or think it, but he is, as JFK said more than a half-century ago, “the responsible officer of this government.” That is, the President is primary in the Benghazi saga; inquiries into the role of anyone else–including the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton–are decidedly secondary or even tertiary. In an investigation such as this, we shouldn’t be looking to the capillaries, or even the arteries; we should be going right to the heart–Obama. If others wish to obscure his role, well, we must seek to clarify his role.

Yet even as we keep our focus on the President, we still have to understand how his men and women acted on his behalf.

The first document of the cover-up, of course, were those dozen-times rewritten Benghazi talking points, the ones that Susan Rice used to mislead the nation on September 16, 2012–five ways to Sunday, one might say. We might immediately note that the Mohammed video never appears in those “talkers.” It was only in the days to come that the blame-the-video narrative was repeated by not only the President, but also the Vice President, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and everyone else in the administration. So there’s a mystery to be unraveled? Who dropped the Mohammed video argument into the national dialogue?

So who was ultimately in charge of those talking points? Not Hillary Clinton, nor her State Department. Instead, the buck seems to have stopped at the White House–but nowhere near the President, of course.

Instead, it was a second-tier functionary at the National Security Council who took the lead. The key figure seems to be one Ben Rhodes, whose title is deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and speechwriting–which should be translated to, “spinning and talking-point massaging.” He was the main rewrite guy.

But here’s where the cover-up gets even more interesting. How so? Because, after all, Rhodes is not in charge of the NSC. And if the actual head of the NSC doesn’t leap to mind, well, that’s proof that the plan is working. What plan? The plan to keep Tom Donilon out of the news and out of the line of fire.

The Benghazi cover-up at the White House was, in fact, a double cover-up. As we have seen, the President was to be insulated from Benghazi. But so, too, was someone else. That someone else is Thomas E. Donilon, the national security adviser at the White House, who is, of course, Ben Rhodes’ boss at the National Security Council. So if Rhodes is doing something as vital as managing the Benghazi message, we can be reasonably sure that Donilon was all over it. We can be reasonably sure of it, that it, but what we can’t actually see it, because Donilon has chosen to become politically invisible. Yes, if you and I haven’t heard much of Donilon lately, that’s not an accident; even though he is very ambitious, he has always been a behind-the-scenes player. And he’s been very behind-the-scenes for these past eight months.

I consider Donilon to be the greatest spinner and string-puller working in Washington today, and those talents have been good for his career. He started out as a political hack who then parlayed those talents into a gig that made him millions at Fannie Mae . And while the Fannie scandal has destroyed many Beltway careers, and deservedly so, Donilon managed to worm his way up into the highest rung of US national-security policymaking.

Yet not surprisingly, Donilon’s rise has been terrible for the country. I have warned about Donilon extensively in the past, noting, in particular, his skill as a master-leaker and news master-manipulator. In particular, Donilon has been in the middle of the Stuxnet leaks from last year–the leaks designed to make the Obama administration look tough against Iran. And although many Washington leaders, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein(D-CA) were forthright in expressing their concerns about the leaks, and in suggesting that the White House was involved, nothing happened to anyone in the White House–certainly not Donilon. So perhaps that’s how Donilon developed the hubristic arrogance to think that he could leak and spin anything, even Benghazi.

As an aside, to see Donilon in action, we might take another look at that famous Sit Room photo from May 1, 2011. Look closely at the picture: Who’s the dominant figure? It’s not Obama; he’s hunched down on the side. No, the alpha male in the shot is the bluff fellow in the blue-green shirt, his arms sternly folded across his chest–Tom Donilon. These things don’t happen by accident; it’s Donilon, not the others, who runs the Sit Room, and he is smart enough to know where to stand. Does that seem petty? Sure it does. Is it petty? Sure it is. Welcome to Washington.

However, Donilon’s skills seem to have stopped there, with his ability to look commanding in a photo. By contrast, his command of American foreign policy and national security is considerably weaker–more like atrocious.

Donilon could have gone to the President after Benghazi and suggested that course-correction. Donilon could have said, “Mr. President, the situation has changed. You must face up to the challenge of terror and confront it head on.” Once again, not only would such a new and resolute course of action have been the right thing to do, but it would have proven to be, as a residual result, good politics for Obama, as well. Yet Donilon, whom I have known for 35 years, isn’t that smart. If he ever knew that JFK had said, in the wake of the Bay of Pigs back in 1961, “I am the responsible officer,” he obviously failed to grasp the positive impact of forthright candor.

Lacking any larger vision of his own job, Donilon just defaulted to what he knew best–conniving and cover-upping. And conniving and cover-upping not only for Obama, but also for himself. Instead, he was the offstage orchestra conductor, and the maestro; he orchestrated a campaign to of minimize, marginalize, misdirect, and mislead the country.

Yet even Donilon could also see that the Benghazi cover-story effort was not going to be a particularly happy experience for anyone. And so Donilon himself went underground–a hard feat for a national security adviser. Yet Donilon, the “invisible man” when he wants to be–and with the help of a dependent and subservient press–has so far gotten away with it. Thus it’s Ben Rhodes getting kicked around, not his boss.

If the only issue were who is getting credit when things are good (Donilon and Bin Laden), and discredit when things bad (Rhodes and Benghazi), then West Wing power games would be, well, a somewhat amusing little game.

However, as we know, the stakes are much higher than any mere game, In fact, the echoes between Benghazi and Watergate are eerie, indeed. Yet the stakes are, in fact, much higher because they go to not only the credibility of the presidency, but also to the security of the country.

Yet as we learned in Watergate–or should have learned, anyway–a complicated cover-up conspiracy cannot succeed. So Tom Donilon and his tactics are not only a cancer on the presidency, but they are also, by now, a threat to Obama’s credibility and legacy.

Most of all, though, Donilon and his ways, now metastasized across the federal government, are a threat to the United States of America.

Next: The Eerie Parallels Between Benghazi and Watergate

You can read Cadell’s very enlightening article in it’s entirety here:

………………………………

Yes, there is more than one scandal brewing in a White House cauldron of LIES! Let’s begin at the beginning. What was Amb Stevens doing in Benghazi in the first place with little or no security just the bare minimum of locals providing protection?

In order to get to the bottom of this mystery, the daily news reports are forced to work backwards until they arrive at the beginning. In my opinion, we must establish why Christoper Stevens was asked to go to Benghazi (at the May 2012 Correspondent’s Dinner) by Obama? That answer has been bandied about in several reports but nothing concrete has yet been established except for the fact it was about GUNS- Were those gun made in the USA? Were they leftover guns from Kadaffi’s storehouse? Why was it imperative to use the Ambassador to collect those guns?  Obama asking him to accept the mission at the Correspondents Dinner? (these questions have yet to receive clear concise answers. So they remain at the forefront of our questions list until they are answered as the beginning of the ‘Benghazi Odyssey” of Chris Stevens.)

Here is a recent compilation posted in The New Yorker by Alex Koppelman, entitled “Spinning Benghazi”. I suggest you open the links (as you go) for the details before you continue reading if you are not aware of all the facts as this story is pieced together.

“Spinning Benghazi”

It’s a cliché, of course, but it really is true: in Washington, every scandal has a crime and a coverup. The ongoing debate about the attack on the United States facility in Benghazi where four Americans were killed, and the Obama Administration’s response to it, is no exception. For a long time, it seemed like the idea of a coverup was just a Republican obsession. But now there is something to it.

On Friday, ABC News’s Jonathan Karl revealed the details of the editing process for the C.I.A.’s talking points about the attack, including the edits themselves and some of the reasons a State Department spokeswoman gave for requesting those edits. It’s striking to see the twelve different iterations that the talking points went through before they were released to Congress and to United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, who used them in Sunday show appearances that became a central focus of Republicans’ criticism of the Administration’s public response to the attacks. Over the course of about twenty-four hours, the remarks evolved from something specific and fairly detailed into a bland, vague mush.

From the very beginning of the editing process, the talking points contained the erroneous assertion that the attack was “spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved.” That’s an important fact, because the right has always criticized the Administration based on the suggestion that the C.I.A. and the State Department, contrary to what they said, knew that the attack was not spontaneous and not an outgrowth of a demonstration. But everything else about the changes that were made is problematic. The initial draft revealed by Karl mentions “at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi” before the one in which four Americans were killed. That’s not in the final version. Nor is this: “[W]e do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qa’ida participated in the attack.” That was replaced by the more tepid “There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.” (Even if we accept the argument that State wanted to be sure that extremists were involved, and that they could be linked to Al Qaeda, before saying so with any level of certainty—which is reasonable and supported by evidence from Karl’s reporting—that doesn’t fully explain these changes away.)

Democrats will argue that the editing process wasn’t motivated by a desire to protect Obama’s record on fighting Al Qaeda in the run-up to the 2012 election. They have a point; based on what we’ve seen from Karl’s report, the process that went into creating and then changing the talking points seems to have been driven in large measure by two parts of the government—C.I.A. and State—trying to make sure the blame for the attacks and the failure to protect American personnel in Benghazi fell on the other guy.

But the mere existence of the edits—whatever the motivation for them—seriously undermines the White House’s credibility on this issue. This past November (after Election Day), White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that “The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word ‘consulate’ to ‘diplomatic facility’ because ‘consulate’ was inaccurate.”

Remarkably, Carney is sticking with that line even now. In his regular press briefing on Friday afternoon (a briefing that was delayed several times, presumably in part so the White House could get its spin in order, but also so that it could hold a secretive pre-briefing briefing with select members of the White House press corps), he said:

quote:

“The only edit made by the White House or the State Department to those talking points generated by the C.I.A. was a change from referring to the facility that was attacked in Benghazi from “consulate,” because it was not a consulate, to “diplomatic post”… it was a matter of non-substantive factual correction. But there was a process leading up to that that involved inputs from a lot of agencies, as is always the case in a situation like this and is always appropriate.”

This is an incredible thing for Carney to be saying. He’s playing semantic games, telling a roomful of journalists that the definition of editing we’ve all been using is wrong, that the only thing that matters is who’s actually working the keyboard. It’s not quite re-defining the word “is,” or the phrase “sexual relations,” but it’s not all that far off, either.

Obama’s blood trail from Benghazi to Boston

If we persist on taking a myopic view of the incidents happening over the last seven months, we are missing the totality of the transformation of our country under a globalist agenda. I know, it’s as stretch taxing our minds connecting these dots but as painful as it has been for us over recent months, it must be done to understand the metamorphosis taking place in our country before our very eyes.

Are you still wondering why it seems there is no opposition to our democratically controlled government? Where is the outrage from Republicans over the safety of the country? Where is the deafening roar of outrage we heard during the Lewinski scandal?

Why the branding of Bill Clinton by Republican minions as unfit for the presidency shouted from the rooftops and the sordid details of the affair played out 24/7 on tv by Big media in special reports, as the country was in a state of so called peril, triggering the House of Representatives to call for Impeachment proceedings to begin immediately?

Was Bill Clinton guilty of attempting to shred and break the Constitution by taking our guns from our cold dead hands? Was he demanding citizens say nothing negative about the Irish out of fear we were offending their sensibilities or insulting their beliefs in their lifelong Catholic/Protestant religions?

Hardly- He had an affair people. Like so many members of Congress, the very people who condemned him. Later on one by one they confessed to their so-called youthful indiscretions..example [sic] House Manager, Henry Hyde.. (keeping a mistress and supporting a child out of wedlock.)

(the Clinton comparison is strictly for gaining a perspective to the current threats before us and the unrelenting undoing of our Constitution by Executive fiat)

What do the murders of four Americans in Benghazi have to do with the murders of three in a terrorist attack in Boston? Plenty, if you understand what you are seeing in the abstract expressionism of the Jackson Pollock painting is actually a blood trail, and the Pollock painting you are closely studying is an exact reproduction of one of his earlier works. It is a reproduction of a reproduction. We’ve seen this picture before, a bloodstained tangle of lies being sold to us as an artistic masterpiece. But you have to step farther back, not closer to the painting, to actually see the blood trail.

(the illustration at the link is a Pollack painting revealing traces of blood after a forensic examination by art experts.) I will defer to this article helping you gain a much wider perspective written by By Doug Hagmann @ Canada Free Press.

Read it until you realize we are under attack while we sleep- Benghazi and the Boston Bombings are the overt examples that have to be explained away by our government as diverse unrelated events that are unfortunate but do happen occasionally but under the watchful eye of Homeland Security “we will ensure they never happen again.”

Does anyone still remember the terror attack and murders of Americans in Benghazi on September 11, 2012? Does anyone still care?

In the wake of the bombings in Boston and amid information the government and media does not want you, the average American citizen to know, motive and causation make a lot of difference. Compare Clinton’s terse response to questions surrounding Benghazi with that of Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, whose testosterone levels rose sharply as she decided that she would not even dignify Congressman Jeff Duncan’s questioning last week about the reported involvement of a Saudi national identified as Abdulrahman Ali Isa al-Salami al-Harbi, a/k/a Abdulrahman al Harbi.

The Saudi connections

In the event you don’t recognize that name associated with the Boston bombing, the media initially reported that a Saudi national, later determined to be al Harbi, was under guard at a Boston hospital after being injured in the attack. He was seen running from the explosions and tackled by police a short distance from the bombing site. During the normal investigative process of al Harbi, investigators learned that he was reportedly the subject of an alleged deportation order under Section 212 3B Immigration & Nationality Act regarding “Security an”, but completely unrelated to Boston. To get on this list requires some pretty substantial evidence. To be removed from this list is practically impossible, short of detention or death.

Amid the flurry of media reports that followed, however, his name and status at the hospital were gradually and methodically being erased from news reports and people’s memories. An intentional government and media brown-out turned into a noticeable blackout, even while federal authorities were searching his fifth floor apartment at 364 Ocean Avenue, Revere, MA and removing various items for forensic analysis.

Before the last items were taken from his apartment, I am told, orders were given to immediately stop any investigation of al Harbi. Suddenly and inexplicably, al Harbi became off limits, and a few federal agents are angry and want to know why.

His status under Section 212 3B was reportedly rescinded about 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday, and he suddenly enjoyed protective status on orders from the ‘highest levels of our government’, but not before Congressman Duncan had a copy of the 212 3B status of al Harbi. Additionally, it is reported, not only was the order rescinded, but his file was made to appear as if the order never existed in the first place.

According to sources close to this author, al Harbi became the primary focus of a high level diplomatic meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al Faisal on Tuesday morning, the day after the marathon bombing and the day before his status suddenly changed. The 10:00 am meeting was abruptly closed to the media with only minutes notice, something that rarely happens. The reason, according to sources with “knowledge” of the matter, is due to the classification of al Harbi as a person of interest in the marathon bombing and his status as a Saudi “elite”.

The aforementioned file alteration and status were changed following this meeting, and arrangements were reportedly made for him to leave the United States. As all of this reportedly took place in such a very short period of time, it is important to understand that the alleged changes had to have the approval at the level of the U.S. Secretary of State, or higher. It was done on behalf of the Saudis, with approval and direction from the highest levels of our own government. Why is this important to the events in Boston and Benghazi?

Benghazi to Boston: the Saudi agenda & shielding the truth

First, don’t get stuck in the minutia of al Harbi, just be aware of it and who is behind it. Instead, look at the larger picture. To be clear, al Harbi himself is not the main story here. It’s bigger than that, and the problem is that people are not thinking big enough. It’s about an agenda to shape the world power structure. The Obama regime is in place to finish what was started long ago. Now, the players under Obama and a complicit press are shielding the truth from the American people. We are not being told the truth about anything, from Benghazi to Boston, and the common factor in all of this is Saudi Arabia.

Our intimate relationship with Saudi Arabia began in earnest (most recently) under George Herbert Walker Bush, and was further expanded by George W. Bush, a/k/a ‘Bandar Bush,’ a name earned for his intimate relationship with Prince Sultan bin Bandar of Saudi Arabia. It should be clear by now that the continuity of this globalist, Pan-Islamic agenda that existed under Bush was further solidified and even expanded by the Obama administration. It is not a political agenda, but a globalist one. We do not have elected leaders who favor the U.S., but internationalists that favor the globalist agenda. Understanding this should explain that the right-left paradigm is a historical artifact, and provide prospective in terms of how the government is pushing this agenda towards completion. We’ve been overtaken and captured from within.

We’ve learned from the 2001 attacks that the Saudis are the largest exporters of terrorism, yet we continue to work for them, providing our military assets and our troops to doing their dirty work. Through the Muslim Brotherhood, they have infiltrated many, if not all levels of our government. As stated, this did not begin under Obama, but was expanded under him. And what better presidential candidate was there to accomplish this objective? Now does his meteoric rise from a community organizer to state senator to President make better sense? (do notice the lack of complicity and inclusion of one name…Clinton)

We still cannot even have any intelligent conversation about Obama’s Constitutional legitimacy to hold the Office of President without being marginalized by both sides of the political divide. Why then, would we expect the truth about Benghazi? And yet, Americans believe what they see and hear about everything from Benghazi, Boston, and even to matters of our economy? We are a captured operation.

Just as the situation involving al Harbi provides us with a window into this agenda, Benghazi provides us with that same window. Unraveling the truth from the lies in both instances will show just how deep the U.S. is involved with expanding the Saudi Kingdom of power across the Middle East, even at our own national peril. Of critical importance, this relationship is leading us on the path to World War III.

Remember this? Obama bowing to the Saudi King? Now you know why!

Before the marathon bombings, Russian intelligence officials warned the U.S. about the Islamic terror threat posed by Islamic terrorists in the U.S., including the older brother of the Boston bombing duo. The FBI KNEW the identity of the elder Boston bomber a year ago. Yet, the U.S. DHS, under the Obama regime, deliberately ignored the warnings. We’re spreading and actually sponsoring this radicalization through this Pan-Islamic agenda, yet most people cannot see the bigger picture.

Putin warned us that our policies were the equivalent of playing with dynamite, and continuing to play would result in a direct confrontation with them. During the so-called Arab Spring, Putin also warned the U.S. not to destabilize the Middle East, and warned Obama not to meddle in the affairs of Syria, which he described as their ‘red line in the sand’. Syria holds strategic military and economic importance for Russia and China, and is the backdoor to Iran, another country of importance to both superpowers.

Despite these warnings, the U.S. set up the largest weapons running operation in Benghazi, a location from where weapons were shipped under U.S. operational command to the Islamic terrorists in Syria to topple the Assad regime. The Saudis were the paymasters for this operation, but are duplicitous.

Benghazi was the direct result of this operation, and we now find ourselves in a proxy war with Russia-and soon to be China-with no peaceful end in sight as the U.S. continues to do the dirty work for the Saudis, the internationalists, the international bankers, and the global elite. The terror attacks in Boston were the latest blowback from our foreign policy, and there will be more.

Janet Napolitano, and the entirety of the Obama regime are refusing to provide Americans with any truths about what is actually taking place, whether it is about a sole Saudi citizen or the attacks in Benghazi, and complete Saudi agenda. Meanwhile, clueless Americans cheer as the younger bombing suspect is arrested after one of the most unprecedented manhunts in U.S. history, but fail to see all of the entanglements of the Pollock painting. We are willfully and almost gleefully giving up our rights because of the globalists who are running the foreign and domestic policies.

The path to WW III

Like the Pollock paintings, people must be able to see the connections—the blood trails—that connect the terrorist attacks in Boston to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. We are emboldening the Muslim terrorists by our foreign policies. We are training them, arming them, and in some cases, siding with one faction over another. We are not exporting peace or freeing people from oppression, but creating a new world order.

Time and again, from the first World Trade Center Bombing to 9/11, from Benghazi to Boston, we see the same template reproductions of the paintings, yet don’t recognize it.

We are not dealing with Americans with an American mentality. No, we are dealing with Americans in name only, driven by an internationalist, global mentality.

The ‘elected’ are the ‘elect’ vying for a future seat at the global table. They are hidden amid the entanglements of the Pollock work. They are the very ones who will lead us into global conflict.

So when you see the next massive manhunt that closes a city, understand that this is of our own doing. This is part of a larger agenda that you must step back from the painting to identify. While we surrender our rights domestically, we advance on the path that takes us into WW III. Boston was an indirect blowback from Benghazi, but the truth of the matter will continue to remain hidden unless we demand and receive answers to the proper questions. That is assuming, of course, there is anyone left to ask such questions.

Step back and look at the larger picture. See the blood trail that extends among the continents.

It you want the Truth of what is happening to our country, you won’t find it on American TV. You will have to search out the Truth yourself from overseas reports or read here for new postings.

The ‘Uncle Tom-ing’ of Ben Carson Begins:

by Larry O’Connor

MSNBC host and commentator Touré fired a clear and distinct shot at Dr. Ben Carson Friday, hammering the African-American Presidential Medal of Freedom winner for daring to challenge the Obamadoxy parroted by Touré and progressive journalists bent on supporting the President’s policies at all costs.

Dr. Ben Carson splashed onto the national stage with his blistering criticism of ObamaCare last month at the National Prayer breakfast, with President Obama seated just a few feet away. Carson is a heroic surgeon, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery, who performed groundbreaking medical miracles at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is a brilliant and passionate advocate for free market principals, individual responsibility, and the freedoms and liberty embodied in resistance to bloated big government programs like ObamaCare. He also happens to be black. Therefore, he must be stopped, now.

Like Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Colin Powell (until he got the message) and Herman Cain before him, Carson will now be the target of the most vile and reprehensible kinds of criticism from black progressives like Touré and his colleague Al Sharpton. A black man who doesn’t blindly support the president and the big government programs that has created a dependency on government that has crippled America’s underclass is susceptible to name calling that, otherwise, would not be tolerated in American political discourse.

On his show, Touré said this of Carson:

“Carson is a brilliant medical thinker but he’s got intellectual tumors like a flat tax, which is regressive, and ignorant in the face of wealth inequality where the top 1% own 35% and the bottom 60% own 2.3%. I doubt Jesus would tax them equally. Just as I doubt the GOP would entertain a white non-politician with unserious ideas. But Carson has joined the GOP’s version of affirmative action, where blacks that can speak conservative game get raced to the front of the line because then people get to put a bumper sticker on their car that say, ‘How could I be racist? I would have voted for Carson!’ Which would fit nicely over the bumper sticker saying, ‘How could I be racist? I would have voted for Cain?’ Which fit nicely over the bumper sticker saying, ‘How could I be racist? I would have voted for Allen West!'”

Yes, any black friend will do, no matter how far outside the political system they emerge from and no matter how unserious their ideas are. Because it’s all make believe. None of them will ever get a nomination for the Presidency, just as the GOP will never get black votes, because the only thing they care about is winning and not the economic or social needs of black people. But in the meantime, imagine away you guys.

At CPAC Carson said, ‘Let’s say you magically put me in the White House.’ But, my brother, no magic is required to accomplish that. As soon as the sequester ends, you could take a White House tour.

Let’s be clear:  Touré holds black men up to a different (lower or higher, not sure) standard when they criticize the President.  He expects black people to think a certain way and pounces when they step out of line and express a different set of ideas than what Touré believes they should believe, due to their skin color. Because Carson is a black man, he is therefore the beneficiary of affirmitive action, in Touré’s mind, and if he dares to present an opposing view from MSNBC’s Obamadoxy, he is an Uncle Tom and betrayer of his race.

In short, Touré has a special contempt for black men who criticize President Obama.  There may be many different interpretations of the definition of racial prejudice and/or racism, but my understanding of racism is that it is the belief that humans are divided into distinct groups based upon their skin color and genetic make-up, and those groups are expected to behave and think in certain ways (inferior or superior) solely based upon their race.  Touré’s special loathing of Dr. Carson may not be based upon his race, but it certainly appears to be.  And if that doesn’t fall under the description of racism, then I would really appreciate it if Touré could explain the distinction to me, because I’m having trouble seeing it.

Court Slaps Down Obama for Hip Pocket Ilegal Amnesty…

Court Rules Obama DHS Violated FOIA with Stealth Amnesty Secrecy
Meaning: As was said by a former Secret Service Agent..Obama and Napolitano released thousands of illegal aliens who should have been deported..

Judicial Watch recently earned a major victory against the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in its efforts to uncover records detailing the Obama administration’s “stealth amnesty” initiative. And with DHS releasing thousands of illegal alien criminals onto the streets, it could not have come at a better time.

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia recently ruled that the Obama DHS had failed to comply with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in a Judicial Watch lawsuit seeking records related to the agency’s policy of suspending some illegal alien deportations. The opinion was issued by The Honorable Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

Our FOIA lawsuit concerns a DHS policy, implemented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which led to the reduction of the deportation docket in Houston, Texas, by dismissing pending enforcement proceedings against illegal immigrants who DHS claimed did not have serious criminal records. (Now we know this was a lie. Judicial Watch uncovered records showing that multiple deportation cases were dismissed against illegal immigrants who had committed serious felonies. But more on that in a moment.)

In the old days–and by the “old days” I mean 2010–this was called “stealth amnesty.” But there’s nothing “stealth” about the Obama administration’s amnesty campaign now. According to the Associated Press, since mid-February, the Obama administration has openly and proudly released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants facing deportation from jail. Reports indicate that it plans to release 3,000 more this month.

Regarding our lawsuit and the court victory, we filed our original FOIA request with DHS on August 30, 2010, and a subsequent lawsuit on March 23, 2011, after the DHS refused to release the requested records. On January 27, 2012, the U.S. District Court denied a DHS motion to dismiss in part, chastising the agency for its inadequate explanations and giving it one “final” opportunity to establish the applicability of certain privileges in withholding the information from Judicial Watch.

In the February 28, 2013, decision, the District Court ruled that with respect to a substantial number of documents at issue, DHS had continued to withhold information improperly under the “attorney-client” and attorney “work-product” privileges:

Regarding DHS attempts to withhold information under an attorney-client privilege, the court ruled in favor of Judicial Watch, declaring, “[E]ach of these documents appears to concern nothing more than the implementation of an agency policy, the withholding of which runs counter to the [DC] Circuit’s [earlier] admonition that a government attorney’s ‘advice on political, strategic, or policy issues [is] not … shielded from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege.’” (The court drew a similar conclusion regarding the DHS effort to withhold information in order to protect attorney “work-product.”)

The records at issue concern internal DHS controversy over how the Houston ICE officials were interpreting the Obama administration’s narrowed immigration enforcement priorities.

Documents previously uncovered by JW show that DHS officials misled Congress and the public about the scope of its immigration enforcement policy change, which gave wide latitude to local immigration officials to dismiss illegal alien deportation cases–including the dismissal of charges against illegal alien criminals convicted of violent crimes. So don’t believe the Obama administration’s lie that public safety is not at issue here. I believe people will die as a result of this new policy. (I cited my reasons for pessimism in last week’s update.)

But this ruling is good news at a time when the country really needs it.

It proves the Obama administration is willing to go to any extent–including gaming the courts–to continue stonewalling the full story of its lawless release of illegal aliens. Now, with the prison floodgates being thrown open to illegal aliens under the phony pretense of abiding by sequester cuts, it is more important that details of this threat to the public safety be revealed.

We’re pleased the court would not allow DHS to continue its contempt for FOIA law. We look forward to getting those records.

How Obama Turned America into Venezuela; tout de suite..

by Daniel Greenfield

Hugo Chavez’s death was met with tributes from Iran, Bolivia, China and El Salvador. The Western left did not waste much time adding their withered roses to El Comandante’s coffin. George Galloway called him another Spartacus. Jimmy Carter described him as a leader who fought for the “neglected and trampled.” Michael Moore praised him for declaring that the oil belongs to the people.

Whether or not the oil belongs to the people is a matter of some debate considering how much of it ended up in Chavez’s pocket.

Chavez died with an estimated net worth of 2 billion dollars making him the 4th richest man in Venezuela and the 49th richest man in Latin America.

While the Bolivarian Spartacus lined his pockets with oil money, Venezuela’s middle-class was struggling to get by in a country where the private sector had imploded. Income increased on paper, but decreased in reality. Around the same time that Comrade Hugo was launching the third phase of his Bolivarian Revolution, inflation had decreased household income 8.8 percent while consumer goods prices increased 27 percent.On his deathbed, Hugo Chavez devalued his country’s currency for the fifth time by 32 percent, after tripling the deficit during his previous term when the national debt had increased by 90 percent. From 2008 to 2011, Chavez’s oil-rich government increased the debt by nearly 50 billion in a country of less than 30 million. That same year, The Economist speculated that Venezuela might go bankrupt.

Chavez had swollen the ranks of Venezuela’s public employees to 2.5 million in a country where the 15-64 population numbered only 18 million. With 1 public employee to every 7 working adults, the entire mess was subsidized by oil exports and debt. When the price of oil fell, only debt was left.Those public employees became Chavez’s campaign staff with no choice but to vote for him or see their positions wiped out to keep the economy from crashing. And they won him one last election.

The dead tyrant leaves behind the lowest GDP growth rate and highest inflation rate in Latin America. He leaves behind an economy where more than half the population depends on government benefits or government jobs. He leaves behind a giant pile of debt for the people and 2 billion dollars in misappropriated oil money for his heirs.

But we don’t need to look to a leftist banana republic south of the border to see how profitable fighting for the poor can be.

7 of the 10 richest counties in America are now in the Washington D.C. area. Arlington County alone added $6,000 to its average income in one year alone. D.C. and its bedroom communities got rich at twice the rate of the rest of the country and in the last election; Obama won 8 of the 10 richest counties in the country.

Washington D.C. is richer than Silicon Valley. Median income in the D.C. area hit $84,523 despite the city itself having horrendous unemployment and poverty statistics. The top 5 percent in D.C. earns 60% more than the top 5 percent in other cities and 54 times what the bottom fifth earns in that same city.

This wealth of government money isn’t a rising tide that lifts all boats. Income inequality in Washington D.C. is one of the worst in the nation. For families with children, the income inequality level in D.C. is double the average for the rest of the country.

But when you concentrate the wealth of the land in a single imperial city, then you end up with a sharp gap between the poor and the fighters for the poor. Mid-level jobs are disappearing, but high-level jobs continue to grow. Small businesses are going out of business, but lawyers and consultants are being hired at a breathtaking rate.

Washington D.C. has the highest concentration of lawyers in the country. 1 out of every 12 city residents is a lawyer. 1 in 25 of the country’s lawyers lives in Washington D.C. In 2009, the Office of Personnel Management reported that there were 31,797 practicing lawyers in the Federal government earning an average salary of $127,500 a year. Or to put it another way, the taxpayers were spending double Hugo Chavez’s 2 billion dollar net worth each year just to pay the lawyers.

That was in 2009. The numbers have undoubtedly gotten much worse since.

That same year there were 383,000 federal civilian workers with six figure salaries. Multiply that and you get all the debt that Hugo Chavez dumped on Venezuela being dumped out in a single year on American taxpayers.

The number of Federal civilian employees is only slightly higher than in Chavez’s utopian Socialist paradise, but average Federal employee salary clocks in at a mean $75,000.

Federal civilian employee wages and benefits run around $200 billion. The cost of the Federal workforce in a single year is more than double Venezuela’s entire national debt. During Nixon’s first year in office, $200 billion would have covered the entire Federal budget. Now it’s just the paychecks. In the United States Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees welfare and food stamps, among other things, 1,461 of HHS’ 64,750 employees earn over $155,000.

While the Obama Administration fires marines, it hires more civilian employees. 101 new Federal employees have been hired every day of Obama’s first term in office. In 1962, there were more American military personnel than Federal civilian employees. The number of military personnel has dropped sharply, but the number of civilian employees is higher now than it was then. And their salaries have become much higher.

But the civilian employees are only part of the picture. The massive deficit spending has turned Washington D.C. into a treasure trove of government grants and stimulus plans on the favor train. The national debt grew by 6 trillion dollars in one term of Obama adding $50,521 in debt per household. That money was used to buy favors and support across the country.

While Obama ran on a platform of taking care of the poor, he was raiding the social safety net to buy support from a coalition of billionaires that paid him back with bundled contributions and SuperPACs. Green Energy tycoons got rich on loans and grants, while the middle class imploded. Billions in taxpayer money was traded for millions in contributions in one of the dirtiest deals to take place outside an actual banana republic.

Like Chavez, Obama presides over a poorer country whose poor are convinced that he is the only thing standing between them and absolute poverty. Deficit spending and high debt has destroyed any potential for GDP growth leaving America looking like an oversized version of Venezuela.

The new America is not a booming economy, but a political power structure built on unsustainable spending. Like Chavez, Obama has created an impossible trap that leaves half the country dependent on him and leaves his opponents with no alternative but to propose some form of austerity. It is an economic kamikaze maneuver that invariably ends with economic or political destruction.Obama, like Chavez, has made economic recovery structurally impossible, perpetuating poverty in order to profit politically from the national state of misery. Chavez died before the consequences of his economic policies caught up with Venezuela. Like Chavez, Obama won a contentious election, but he has no easy escape from the economic destruction coming up on the road ahead.

Hillary WILL run in 2016, claims wealthy Greek donor (who says Bill told him)

Hillary WILL run in 2016, claims wealthy Greek donor (who says Bill told him)

By Leslie Larson
13 February 2013

A wealthy Democratic donor is fanning the flames of speculation that Hillary Clinton is indeed running for president.

Sacramento developer Angelo Tsakopoulos says Bill Clinton has confirmed the presumed plan that the former Secretary of State will make a bid for the White House again.

The millionaire told the Greek Reporter that Clinton’s husband revealed his wife’s political ambition, as the power couple gear up for a 2016 race.

Sacramento developer Angelo Tsakopoulos (left) was a key fundraiser for Team Hillary during her first presidential bid.

‘Hillary will be our next President and she will be a great one,’ Mr Tsakopoulos told the Greek Reporter at a private gala event in California over the weekend.

His daughter, Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis, was appointed Ambassador to Hungary in 2010

‘I talk to her husband, and he confirmed it. She will run,’ he added. Reps from the Clinton camp have publicly addressed his statements.

Hillary Clinton’s political plans are considered the worst kept secret in Washington.

Though the 65-year-old, who left the State Department in January, claims she has no set agenda for the future it has been widely thought that she still has her eye on the Oval Office.

Just days after she handed over the reins of the State Department to former Mass. Sen. John Kerry, she launched a new website with the mysterious web address http://www.hillaryclintonoffice.com.

The website features a glamorous photo of the diplomat but provides no information on its purpose, other than the option for a visitor to enter their contact information.

She has long stated that she would be taking time to rest and not focusing on her long-term plans.

In December, she suffered a concussion and was hospitalized briefly for a blood clot near her brain.

She previously sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, against then Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)

She and her husband fought tooth and nail against the rising Democratic star, who ultimately proved victorious.

Though the indefatigable political pair had to lick their wounds when Mr Obama secured the Democratic presidential nomination, they eventually got in line to support the party and then Sen. Clinton (D-NY) was appointed Secretary of State under the 44th president.

But she has maintained a powerful circle of supporters who have continued to express their hope that she would run again.

Obama Campaigns Delays Budget Release by a Week…. And Then..

Obama Sequestration Request Calling For Short-Term Budget Fix To Delay Automatic Cuts

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is asking Congress for a short-term deficit reduction package of spending cuts and tax revenue that will delay the effective date of steeper automatic cuts now scheduled to kick in on March 1. Obama said the looming cuts would be economically damaging and must be avoided.

The president reiterated his insistence on long-term deficit reduction that combines taxes and cuts, a blend that faces stiff resistance from anti-tax Republicans in Congress.

Obama made his case Tuesday afternoon in the White House briefing room, just minutes after the Congressional Budget Office released revised budget projections that showed the deficit will drop to $845 billion this year, the first time during Obama’s presidency that the red ink would fall below $1 trillion. The budget office also said the economy will grow slowly in 2013, hindered by a tax increase enacted in January and by the automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect this spring.

It is those cuts that Obama is seeking to put off with less onerous measures. Neither the president nor White House aides specified what those measures should be.

“There’s no reason that the jobs of thousands of American who work in national security or education or clean energy, not to mention the growth of the entire economy, should be put in jeopardy just because folks in Washington couldn’t come together to eliminate a few special interest tax loopholes or government programs that we agree need some reform,” he said.

Obama said Congress needs more time to work out a 10-year plan worth more than $1 trillion in deficit reduction. Obama did not place a time span or a dollar amount on the short-term plan. Officials said he will leave that to Congress.

His request comes as some congressional Republicans were signaling that they might allow the automatic cuts to kick in as the only viable means of achieving deficit reduction, even though it cut into programs they support, such as defense.

The president’s request would continue what has become a common practice in Washington – dealing with fiscal issues in small steps in hopes that over time Congress and the administration are able to agree on broader and more lasting policies. In his remarks, Obama alluded to the incremental nature of the work ahead.

“Let’s keep on chipping away at this problem together, as Democrats and Republicans, to give our workers and our businesses the support that they need to thrive in the weeks and months ahead,” Obama said.

The Obama administration announced January 23rd it will release its proposed budget  Feb. 13, a week later than scheduled.

“As in previous years, the date was determined based on the need to finalize decisions and technical details of the document,” said an announcement from the Office of Management and Budget.

(OMB also announced it will not be providing free bound copies of the document to the media, calling it a cost-saving measure.)

Congressional Republicans blasted the delayed budget. Under federal law, the president must submit a budget by the first Monday in February. As a result, that last day before the deadline has become the de facto date.

But Obama violated the law last year with a one-week delay, and he’s doing it again this year.

“This will mark the third time in four years the president has missed his statutory requirement to present a budget on time, while trillion-dollar budget deficits continue to mount,” said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee.

Ryan added: “As the President announces another missed deadline, tomorrow marks the 1,000th day Senate Democrats have gone without any budget at all.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, called it “an inauspicious way to launch his State of the Union address.”

“In this, the final year of his term, one would think he would be ready and eager to lay out his detailed plan for our nation’s financial future,” Sessions said. “He speaks of the American people’s economic suffering, yet he would, at such a time, delay fulfilling this fundamental duty on their behalf.”

And Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a former White House budget director in the Bush administration, suggested Obama get off the campaign trail.

“I’m incredibly concerned that, with a record national debt now equal to 100% of our GDP, the president is unable to put forward a plan to address Washington’s out of control debt and deficits,” Portman said. “If I were advising President Obama, I’d recommend less time campaigning and more time spent addressing the impending fiscal crisis. We need a budget with a responsible spending restraint and pro-growth reforms, and WE NEED IT NOW!

Update: BOMBSHELL: BING WEST to OBAMA: “WHERE’S THE EXECUTION ORDER?”

 

Closer look at the president’s role in Libya aftermath

What was he doing during and after attack?

GRETA ASKS WEST:

McCain Presses Hillary for More Information:

…………………………….

@ minute 5:22 on the Greata video… West explains in clear concise language the chain of command when the president gives an Execute Order to the Joint Chiefs. The Generals are saying this Order was never given to them to send help to the distressed Americans in Libya.

Although now, Obama is saying HE GAVE the ORDER to send HELP.

West says the chain of command goes this way : “The president “GIVES THE ORDER”, the ORDER is written down by the National Security Council Adviser”… and the Joint Chiefs follow through deciding what assets from where will be sent to help out Americans in distress.

What Bing West is saying is, He wants to see the written order to execute the president’s directive to send HELP to Benghazi… supposedly, now, what Obama is claiming IS, he did GIVE THE ORDER to send HELP when our Ambassador was pleading for help.

All West is saying is …WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN ORDER? WE WANT TO SEE IT! Mr. President.. produce the ORDER!

West also let the cat out of the bag- @ 4:33 Hillary did send help (in spite of the stand down order) The State Dept did send a plane carrying 6 Americans to help the distressed Ambassador and the 3 former Seals who risked all to protect the Ambassador. (I just knew it..I just did.. I hope this shocker puts all the judgmental naysayers to SHAME!)

NOW THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO GO VIRAL!

anyone reading this… PLEASE, send this video to every blog you know and get this information out there… The military is willing to stand up to OBAMA.. PLEASE HELP THEM DO IT!

MEDIA IGNORE HILLARY’S BOMBSHELL BENGHAZI CLAIM

by Aaron Klein

Aaron Klein is WND’s senior staff reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief. He also hosts “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio.

JERUSALEM – During the Senate hearing on Benghazi yesterday, outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed she did not know whether the U.S. special mission attacked on Sept. 11 was involved in gun-running.

The remarks were perhaps the most important and telling of the entire hearing since they address a possible motive behind the jihadist attacks.

Yet Clinton’s answers were largely unreported by U.S. news media.

The exchange on the subject took place with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

Paul asked Clinton: “Is the U. S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

“To Turkey?” Clinton asked. “I will have to take that question for the record. Nobody has ever raised that with me.”

Continued Paul: “It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that may have weapons, and what I’d like to know is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included?”

Clinton replied, “Well, senator, you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. I will see what information is available.”

“You’re saying you don’t know?” asked Paul.
“I do not know,” Clinton said. “I don’t have any information on that.”

That section of the exchange with Paul was almost entirely ignored by media, which instead focused on the Republican senator’s earlier statement that if he were president he would have relieved Clinton of her post.

WND has filed numerous reports quoting Middle East security officials who describe the mission in Benghazi as a meeting place to coordinate aid for the rebel-led insurgencies in the Middle East.

In September, WND also broke the story that the slain U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens, played a central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, according to Egyptian security officials.

In November, Middle Eastern security sources further described both the U.S. mission and nearby CIA annex in Benghazi as the main intelligence and planning center for U.S. aid to the rebels that was being coordinated with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Many rebel fighters are openly members of terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida.

Among the tasks performed inside the building was collaborating with countries, most notably Turkey, on the recruitment of fighters – including jihadists – to target Assad’s regime, the security officials said.

According to the 39-page report released last month by independent investigators probing the attacks at the diplomatic facility, the U.S. mission in Benghazi was set up without the knowledge of the new Libyan government, as WND reported.

“Another key driver behind the weak security platform in Benghazi was the decision to treat Benghazi as a temporary, residential facility, not officially notified to the host government, even though it was also a full-time office facility,” the report states. “This resulted in the Special Mission compound being excepted from office facility standards and accountability under the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (SECCA) and the Overseas Security Policy Board (OSPB).”

The report, based on a probe led by former U.S. diplomat Thomas Pickering, calls the facility a “Special U.S. Mission.”

During the Libyan revolution against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, the U.S. admitted to directly arming the rebel groups.

At the time, rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi acknowledged in an interview that a significant number of the Libyan rebels were al-Qaida fighters, many of whom had fought U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He insisted his fighters “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but he added that the “members of al-Qaida are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader.”

Media cover up?

From the beginning, U.S. media reports on the events in Benghazi have been misleading.

The vast majority of media coverage worldwide refers to the U.S. facility that was attacked as a “consulate,” even though the government itself has been careful to call it a “mission.”

A consulate typically refers to the building that houses a consul, who is the official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another. The U.S. consul in Libya, Jenny Cordell, works out of the embassy in Tripoli.

Consulates at times function as junior embassies, providing services related to visas, passports and citizen information.

On Aug. 26, about two weeks before his was killed, Ambassador Stevens attended a ceremony marking the opening of consular services at the Tripoli embassy.

The main role of a “consulate” is to foster trade with the host and care for its own citizens who are traveling or living in the host nation.

Diplomatic missions, on the other hand, maintain a more generalized role. A diplomatic mission is simply a group of people from one state or an international inter-governmental organization present in another state to represent matters of the sending state or organization in the receiving state.

However, according to the State Department investigation, the building was a “U.S. Special Mission” set up without the knowledge of the Libyan government.

Withholding, misleading

Two days before the November presidential election, CBS posted additional portions of a Sept. 12 “60 Minutes” interview in which Obama made statements that contradicted his earlier claims about the attack.

In the released portions of the interview, Obama would not say whether he thought the attack was terrorism. Yet he would later emphasize at a presidential debate that in the Rose Garden on the day of the attack, he had declared it an act of terror.

Reuters was also implicated by WND for possibly false reporting.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Reuters quoted a purported civilian protester by his first name who described a supposedly popular demonstration against an anti-Muhammad film outside the U.S. building.

Immediately following the attack, President Obama and other White House officials claimed anti-American sentiment fueled by the obscure anti-Muhammad video on YouTube sparked civilian protests outside the U.S. mission that devolved into a jihadist onslaught.

However, vivid accounts provided by the State Department and intelligence officials later made clear no such popular demonstration took place. Instead, video footage from Benghazi reportedly shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, officials said.

UPDATE: China Will Trade Debt for US Land…

CHINA POISED TO PLAY DEBT CARD – FOR U.S. LAND
Communist nation could control American land as ‘development zones’

by JEROME R. CORSI

EDITOR’S NOTE: Barack Obama’s involvement in the DeMar Second Amendment case was previously reported in Chapter 7 of Jerome R. Corsi’s “America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty.”

NEW YORK – Could real estate on American soil owned by China be set up as “development zones” in which the communist nation could establish Chinese-owned businesses and bring in its citizens to the U.S. to work?

That’s part of an evolving proposal Beijing has been developing quietly since 2009 to convert more than $1 trillion of U.S debt it owns into equity.

Under the plan, China would own U.S. businesses, U.S. infrastructure and U.S. high-value land, all with a U.S. government guarantee against loss.

Yu Qiao, a professor of economics in the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsighua University in Beijing, proposed in 2009 a plan for the U.S. government to guarantee foreign investments in the United States.

WND has reliable information that the Bank of China, China’s central bank, has continued to advance the plan to convert China’s holdings of U.S. debt into equity owned by China in the U.S.

The Obama administration, under the plan, would grant a financial guarantee as an inducement for China to convert U.S. debt into Chinese direct equity investment. China would take ownership of successful U.S. corporations, potentially profitable infrastructure projects and high-value U.S. real estate.

Jerome Corsi exposes the globalists’ plan to put America on the chopping block in “America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty,” available at WND’s Superstore.

The plan would be designed to induce China to resume lending to the U.S. on a nearly zero-interest basis.

However, converting Chinese debt to equity investments in the United States could easily add another $1 trillion to outstanding Obama administration guarantees issued in the current economic crisis.

As of November 2012, China owned $1.17 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, according to U.S. Department of Treasury and Federal Reserve Board calculations published Jan. 16.

Concerned about the unrestrained growth in U.S. debt under the Obama administration, China has reduced by 97 percent its holdings in short-term U.S. Treasury bills. China’s holding of $573.7 billion in August 2008, prior to the massive bank bailouts and stimulus programs triggered by the collapse in the U.S. mortgage market, dwindled to $5.96 billion by March 2011.

Treasury bills are short-term debt that matures in one year or less, sold to finance U.S. debt. Holdings of Treasury bills are included in the $1.17 trillion of total Treasury securities owned by China as of November 2012.

In addition to a national debt in excess of $16 trillion, the U.S. government in 2010 faced over $70 trillion in unfunded obligations, including Social Security and Medicare benefits scheduled to be paid retiring baby boomer retirees in the coming decades, with unfunded obligations showing no sign of being reduced with Congress at a deadlock over reducing federal government spending.

Yu Qiao observed that if the U.S. dollar collapsed under the weight of proposed Obama administration trillion-dollar budget deficits into the foreseeable future, holders of U.S. debt would face substantial losses that the Financial Times estimated “would devastate Asians’ hard-earned wealth and terminate economic globalization.”

“The basic idea is to turn Asian savings, China’s in particular, into real business interests rather than let them be used to support U.S. over-consumption,” Yu Qiao wrote, reflecting themes commonly suggested by Chinese government officials. “While fixed-income securities are vulnerable to any fall in the value of the dollar, equity claims on sound corporations and infrastructure projects are at less risk from a currency default,” he continued.

The problem is that, in a struggling U.S. economy, China does not want to trade its investment in U.S. Treasury debt securities, with their inherent risk of dollar devaluation, for equally risky investments in U.S. corporations and infrastructure projects.

“But Asians do not want to bear the risk of this investment because of market turbulence and a lack of knowledge of cultural, legal and regulatory issues in U.S. businesses,” he stressed. “However if a guarantee scheme were created, Asian savers could be willing to invest directly in capital-hungry U.S. industries.”

Yu Qiao’s plan included four components:

China would negotiate with the U.S. government to create a “crisis relief facility,” or CRF. The CRF “would be used alongside U.S. federal efforts to stabilize the banking system and to invest in capital-intensive infrastructure projects such as high-speed railroad from Boston to Washington, D.C.
China would pool a portion of its holdings of Treasury bonds under the CFR umbrella to convert sovereign debt into equity. Any CFR funds that were designated for investment in U.S. corporations would still be owned and managed by U.S. equity holders, with the Asians holding minority equity shares “that would, like preferred stock, be convertible.”

The U.S. government would act as a guarantor, “providing a sovereign guarantee scheme to assure the investment principal of the CRF against possible default of targeted companies or projects”.

The Federal Reserve would set up a special account to supply the liquidity the CRF would require to swap sovereign debt into industrial investment in the United States.

“The CRF would lessen Asians’ concern about implicit default of sovereign debts caused by a collapsing dollar,” Yu Qiao concluded. “It would cost little and help the U.S. by channeling funds to business investment.”

World View: Discussion of China’s Directive to ‘Get Ready for War’

by John J. Xenakis

This morning’s key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com

• China’s strategy
• How would the U.S. react to a Chinese invasion of a neighbor?
• China’s military strength
• The Chinese threat

My recent article “China’s directive to the People’s Liberation Army: Get Ready for War” was posted in several places and drew hundreds of questions and comments. In this article, I’m going to provide some responses.

I quoted Dai Xu, a Chinese Air Force Colonel, as advocating a short decisive war against one of China’s neighbors:

Since we have decided that the U.S. is bluffing in the East China Sea, we should take this opportunity to respond to these empty provocations with something real.

This includes Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, who are the three running dogs of the United States in Asia. We only need to kill one, and it will immediately bring the others to heel.”

One web site reader wrote:

“China might alternatively pick Vietnam as the dog to be killed. Vietnam does not have a defense pact with the United States and the U.S. might seek to provide only indirect assistance to Vietnam. Vietnam might also refuse to surrender and be impossible to pacify in a “quick war”.China could find itself at war with a minor power and not with any major power for a number of years.”

Another wrote:

“If China was going to war with anyone (and I do not wish war on anyone) I’d prefer they attack Vietnam. This wouldn’t suck the Western Allies in and it could teach China a good lesson of being bled dry by a tenacious enemy. This would be best case IMO outside of peace of course.”

This discussion highlighted something that hadn’t occurred to me before: That an attack on Vietnam is the “logical” choice for China. From China’s point of view, there would be several advantages:

• It would raise far less nationalism in the United States than would attacks on Japan or the Philippines.
• China has a score to settle with Vietnam, following the 1979 China-Vietnam war.
• The motive would be “kill a chicken to scare the monkeys,” as the old Chinese saying goes.
• It would assert complete control over the South China Sea.
• China claims that America has been a troublemaker in the South and East China Seas, because these countries have been confronting China in the confident belief that they would be defended by the U.S. If the U.S. does not defend Vietnam, then the other countries would no longer feel confident, and would no longer challenge China.
• It would scare Japan, so that China could take control of the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, and Japan would retreat.

(The last reason, of course, is sheer fantasy, but it’s possible that Chinese hawks believe it.)

China invaded Vietnam in 1979 in a war where China was repulsed quickly. China made some serious mistakes in that war. Those mistakes would not be repeated in this crisis era.

It’s possible that a Chinese invasion of Vietnam would lead to President Obama’s “Neville Chamberlain moment.” But, as in that case, any later aggressive action by China would lead to full-scale war. Time Magazine

How would the U.S. react to a Chinese invasion of a neighbor?

Some Chinese military planners believe that Americans will “run like rabbits” and not honor its mutual defense treaties, if China invaded one of its neighbors. A lot of commenters believe the same thing:

“The only reason the Chinese might think “Americans will run like rabbits” is because of this administration’s recent weak performance in the Middle East, and because of the tenuous U.S. (and Western) economy (both White House admins are to blame here).

Whatever one thinks about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is clear to all foreign entities that America shows neither a principled and goal oriented interaction nor a policy engaged from a position of confidence (exerted quietly or visibly).”

I expressed the opinion that “President Obama would not have any choice if Congress declared war, which might happen within hours of any Chinese attack.” One reader responded:

“First, yes he would. He could dither on the deployments the way France and the U.K. did after Hitler seized Bohemia and Moravia and declared Slovakia a Protectorate, then dithered some more when Hitler declared war on Poland, launching a mighty Sitzkrieg offensive in the Pacific while saving the Blitzkrieg for the media and stump circuit.In the face of that, all Congress could do is impeach him, even while an attempt is made to repeal the 22nd Amendment so he can do nothing for even more [years].

Second, what if a declaration of war passes the House but not the Senate? Never mind the Chamberlain in the White House, Harry Reid could play his own version of Neville, and no war resolution would ever reach the floor of the Senate.

What exactly would happen if Congress “couldn’t” decide?”

Dithering would be a high-risk political strategy for the President and a Democratic Senate. When Neville Chamberlain promised “Peace in our time” after meeting with Hitler, he was doing something that seemed perfectly reasonable on that day. And yet, Chamberlain has been damned by history as the man who appeased Adolf Hitler. President Obama would risk being damned as a modern day Neville Chamberlain who appeased the Chinese.

China’s military strength

There were widely varied opinions about China’s military strength:

“A nuclear holocaust might be a tad bit premature. We’re not really sure what China’s nuclear capability is, specifically their ability to hit the US. Couple of points:Until the 1990s, their primary nuclear target was the Soviet Union. China is notorious for stockpiling archaic military equipment, even if it doesn’t work.

Even if Obama’s military and nuclear cuts hit before any war with China, our nuclear capability far exceeds theirs. The Chinese government knows this.

China probably has around 500 – 600 nuclear weapons and enough materials to build another 400 over a few years. But the US is not China’s only target. Some of those weapons have to be kept aimed at India and Russia, both nuclear powers. Many of China’s warheads are mounted on train-track based launchers that are pointed north, northwest. China would be risking a Russian retaliatory strike by launching those warheads.

Many, as high as 20%, of China’s warheads are gravity bombs designed to be dropped by late WWII style bombers.

China does not have force projection capabilities. They have one carrier in partial service and with a small air wing. They have no long range amphibious assault ships. They cannot establish a perimeter line, like the Japanese, that could keep US forces away from mainland China. And China does not have the nuclear ability to knock the US out of any fight. They can position diesel electric subs at choke points in an attempt to ambush US carrier groups. That does nothing about the USAF and China would be gambling their entire sub force.

A far more realistic scenario would be a Chinese invasion of easier targets in the region. Picture The Philippines, Okinawa, and/or Taiwan. If the US intervened, China would use a limited number of nuclear weapons on nations that could provide the US with military bases, specifically Japan. Hitting Japan would have the bonus of hitting the US economy. China will be betting on the US not retaliating with nuclear weapons if the US is not the target. China would then fortify their gains and simply wait for the US to go bankrupt. Once that happens, China would be free to begin expanding its control throughout the remainder of South East Asia and the Pacific unopposed.”

Another reader pointed out:

“Based on what we know, the DF21 “carrier killer” missile shown in the photo has never been tested on seaborne targets.”

However, one more reader said that China’s military capabilities are far more advanced than we realize:

“What most people don’t realize is that most of China’s infrastructure is dual-use civilian/military. That is, every train, plane, truck, railway, road, you name it, is designed for military use, as well as civilian use. For example, in a matter of weeks, all of China’s shipping -ALL of it- can literally be plugged into the military command and control system and converted for military use. This incluse ‘plug and play’ cargo, missile and weapons systems for their cargo ships and civilian aircraft.In short, they held an arms race…and no one else showed up.

What set them off was America’s victory in the first gulf war. They paid attention and began to redesign their entire military and civilian infrastructure. They also reworked their military philosophy. For over twenty years, they’ve been preparing to fight America in a war.

A probable naval scenario: Imagine a cargo ship loaded with disposable anti-ship missile platforms. Precision guided missiles. Thousands of them. Imagine a US navy task force on the receiving end of five thousand precision guided missiles.”

China is known to be planning “asymmetric warfare,” attacking America’s weak points by unconventional means. According to one reader:

“Our key vulnerability is cyberattack. We’re still not doing as much as we should to protect ourselves, but we’re finally taking action and it looks like some of our leaders are realizing how dangerous it is. That’ll be the primary method to take down our capabilities. I would say it would set us back at least a couple months, probably longer than that. Their optimum time to strike in that theater would be in the near future.Our satellites will be the next mode of crippling us. I read in the 2007 about their anti-satellite and I’d bet that by now they’ve got hundreds of anti-satellite missiles ready for use. It won’t take more than a day or two.”

The Chinese threat

There were some skeptical remarks, like:

“With the coming soft or hard landing in China’s economy, using war with a small neighbor, is a sure fire way to divert the attention of the common person. Look at Argentina did during the Falkland Island war and ready to do it again. Only a mistake or believing their own public relations spin will start a war between the US and PRC.”

However, the most skeptical remark of all was simply:

“This is a completely uninformed and ridiculous article.”

I knew I would get this kind of criticism, and that’s why I put in links to several Chinese and American sources, so that readers could verify the information for themselves. However, I would add that comments like this usually come from someone who couldn’t even find China on a map, let alone have a clue what’s going on in the world.

When I was growing up in the 1950s, my school teachers mocked and ridiculed two sets of people in the 1930s: The ones who, like Herbert Hoover, believed that “prosperity was just around the corner,” even though the Depression kept worsening, and the ones who ignored the dangers in Europe and simply took “Peace in our time” for granted. When I was in school, I never understood how so many people could be so obviously wrong. Now that the same thing is happening today, I realize that there are many people who simply can’t deal with the anxiety, and are willing to believe almost anything.

I’ve been writing about the coming war with China for almost ten years now. What has been apparent all along is that China isn’t even bothering to hide their intentions. It’s not like Russia, for example, where Vladimir Putin may bash and scorn the West, but the days of “We will bury you” are long gone.

But the Chinese vocally threaten war somewhere almost on a daily basis. They have a very different world view that we have. In 2007, I quoted Sha Zukang, the Chinese U.N. ambassador, who said, “one INCH of the territory is more valuable than the LIVES of our people.” With 1.5 billion people, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) almost has no choice but to view people as interchangeable and expendable cogs in a massive wheel of agriculture and industry. China has made this clear repeatedly. I believe that it was Lao Tzu in “The Art of War” who said that in a war the side with the advantage is the side that isn’t afraid to die, and the Chinese aren’t afraid to allow millions of their people die if that’s the way to achieve victory.

SHOWDOWN at the OK Corral?

CONGRESSMAN STOCKMAN (R) THREATENS IMPEACHMENT IF OBAMA USES EXECUTIVE ACTION FOR GUN CONTROL.

IS THIS MORE LIP SERVICE OR TRUE GRIT?

Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.

Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”

(RELATED: Levin: If Obama sidesteps Congress on debt ceiling, ‘no choice’ but impeachment)

“I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.

At his press conference Monday, Obama floated the possibility of using executive action to enact policies aimed at reducing gun violence.

The freshman congressman, who served one term in Congress in the mid-1990s, further labeled the possibility “an existential threat to this nation” because, he said, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow the people to protect themselves from tyranny.

“Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.”

He concluded by claiming that an executive order would be not just “not just an attack on the Constitution,” but also an “attack on Americans.”

“If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” he said.

Obama reportedly considering 19 executive actions on gun control

The President is making other plans as Harry Reid says an assault weapons won’t pass the Senate

By Jillian Rayfield

As things begin to look more dire for potential gun control legislation passing through Congress, Obama is reportedly weighing 19 different executive actions he can take to implement new gun laws.

Congressional Republicans have signalled that passing certain types of legislation won’t be easy, and the president of the NRA said over the weekend that it doesn’t think an assault weapons ban will make it through Congress. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has his doubts, though added that there may be other laws that can pass. “Is it something that can pass the Senate? Maybe. Is it something that can pass the House? I doubt it,” Reid said in an interview. “So I think there are things that we know we can do.”

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., said Joe Biden told lawmakers in a briefing on Monday that there are “19 independent steps that the president can take by executive order.”

From the AP:

Those steps could include ordering stricter action against people who lie on gun sale background checks, striking limits on federal research into gun use, ordering tougher penalties against gun trafficking, and giving schools flexibility to use grant money to improve safety.

And from the New York Times:

Lawmakers and other officials said that the president could use a public event as soon as Wednesday to signal his intention to engage in the biggest Congressional fight over guns in nearly two decades, focusing on the heightened background checks and including efforts to ban assault weapons and their high-capacity clips. But given the difficulty of pushing new rules through a bitterly divided Congress, Mr. Obama will also promise to act on his own to reduce gun violence wherever possible.

Actions the president could take on his own are likely to include imposing new limits on guns imported from overseas, compelling federal agencies to improve sharing of mental health records and directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to conduct research on gun violence, according to those briefed on the effort.

But even the use of executive orders won’t go down without a fight from the right: A Republican Congressman from Texas, Steve Stockman, said Monday that if the President opts for that path, he could file impeachment papers against him. Another GOPer, Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, has said that “The Founding Fathers never envisioned Executive Orders being used to restrict our Constitutional rights. We live in a republic, not a dictatorship.”

New York state, on the other hand, seems to be pushing through a broad expansion of gun control without much brouhaha, including an expansion of the ban on assault weapons and new ways of preventing mentally ill people from obtaining guns. “People who have mental health issues should not have guns,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., told reporters. “They could hurt themselves, they could hurt other people.”

From the Times:

The state Senate, controlled by a coalition of Republicans and a handful of Democrats, approved the legislative package just after 11 p.m. by a lopsided vote of 43 to 18. The Assembly, where Democrats who have been strongly supportive of gun control have an overwhelming majority, planned to vote on the measure Tuesday.

Supreme Court to hear case on Obama’s alleged forged documents

See Link for all 4 photos

On Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court scheduled a birther case brought on by Orly Taitz which calls into question Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to be president of the United States. Dr. Taitz, a lawyer from Santa Margarita, Calif., also made the announcement on her website on Jan. 9.

As of this writing, major news networks such as ABC, Fox News, CBS, and NBC have yet to report on the high court’s decision to review Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to hold political office in the United States or any of its territories. The case is identified as Edward Noonan, et al., v. Deborah Bowen, California Secretary of State.

On Feb. 15, all nine justices will hear arguments on whether Obama used forged government documents and fake identification in order to get elected as commander-in-chief. Edward Noonan, et al., contend that if Obama had been ineligible to run in 2008, other Democratic candidates should have replaced him on the presidential ballot. Additionally, electoral votes from states such as California that went towards Obama should have been deemed null and void.

The Supreme Court’s website shows that docket file no. 12A606 was originally denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee, on Dec. 13. On Jan. 9, Chief Justice Roberts sent Dr. Taitz’s application to the full court for a review scheduled for Feb. 15.

Despite the lack of exposure from the mainstream media, the issue appears to have gained some steam among conservative bloggers. On Jan. 9, New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi suggested that the president’s nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, may have played a role in removing birther evidence from Barack Obama’s passport records.

It appears that in 2008, a State Department insider was simultaneously employed by Analysis Corporation of McLean, Va. (then headed by Mr. Brennan) and was reprimanded for accessing (and possibly altering) Obama’s.

passport records.

On Wednesday, Dr. Orly Taitz, who represents the birther cause, posted the following on her website:

The case . . . provides a mountain of evidence of Barack Obama using a last name not legally his, forged Selective Service application, forged long form and short form birth certificate and a Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425 which was never assigned to him according to E-Verify and SSNVS.

Additionally, this case provides evidence of around one and a half million invalid voter registrations in the state of California alone.

The Supreme Court reviews about 10,000 petitions annually in regular conferences. About 100 are selected for further judicial consideration. In this filtering process, the votes of four justices are needed to advance a case. On her website, Dr. Taitz argues that Obama has used false identification, an alias, a fake Social Security number, forged birth certificates and Selective Service applications. [ See a comparison of a regular birth certificate versus one submitted by Barack Obama in this photo. ]

Among the aliases Obama allegedly used are Barry Soetoro (used while teaching law at the University of Chicago) and Harrison J. Bounel. Birthers contend that by entering Obama’s claimed Social Security number (042-68-4425) into background check systems, the name Harrison J. Bounel shows up in search results. Forgery of government documents is considered a felony.

This is not the first time that Obama has had to contend with the birther issue. On Aug. 21 2008, Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, brought a federal lawsuit challenging the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to become president. Berg alleged that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya and that the “Certification of Live Birth” on Obama’s website is a forgery.

The lower federal court dismissed the complaint as “unworthy of further discussion”. Soon after, Berg filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court which was denied by Justice David Souter in Nov. 2008. A second petition was denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy.

A third petition was referred to the Supreme Court by Justice Antonin Scalia. However, the high court rejected the writ of certiorari on Jan. 12, 2009, just eight days away from Obama’s first inauguration as the nation’s 44th chief executive.

A team of forensic experts organized by Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio have looked into Obama’s birth certificate. In July 2012, Arpaio told Fox News his team’s conclusion that Obama’s birth certification is “definitely fraudulent”. After months of investigation, his forensic investigators had discovered code errors, computer-generated marks, and manipulated seals on the document.

In April 2011, the White House retracted the Hawaii certificate and replaced it with a long form version. Around the same time, business tycoon Donald Trump sent a team of investigators to the state of Hawaii to question Obama’s real place of birth.

Said Trump:

He [Obama] spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if it weren’t an issue, why wouldn’t he just solve it? I wish he would because if he doesn’t, it’s one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you’re not born in this country. Right now, I have real doubts.

The issue gained steam in the midst of a highly contentious election year as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney gained favor among the voting public. In May 2012, the president’s former literary agent Acton & Dystel produced a previously unpublished leaflet stating that Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii”. The promotional booklet was written in 1991 when Obama was at Harvard Law School. It was intended to be part of an Obama autobiography but the project was cancelled.

In Oct. 2012, just days before November presidential elections, Mr. Trump offered to donate $5 million to Obama’s chosen charity if the commander-in-chief would disclose his college and passport records. Trump had hoped that the disclosures would shed light on where Barack Obama was born, his citizenship status, and whether or not he was admitted to college and law school as a foreign exchange student. President Obama ignored Trump’s challenge in media interviews and refused to release the requested records.

However, comedian Bill Maher did issue a challenge to Mr. Trump to produce his birth certificate in exchange for $5 million donated to the latter’s favorite charity. Maher made the offer on Jan. 7 on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. On Tuesday, the real estate tycoon produced a birth certificate showing that he was born in New York City. Trump’s lawyer then issued a letter asking the HBO host to make good on his $5 million offer.

Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump’s birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan.

Obama Returns to Hawaii at an Added Cost of Over $ 7Million

LIES! LIES! AND MORE LIES!

BEFORE THE ELECTION, OBAMA VOWED HELPING SANDY HOOK VICTIMS WITH FEDERAL AIDE… The Bill crafted by Republicans became so top heavy with “pork” it died before it came up for a vote.  Not even attempt from Obama at a special Executive Order to help these poor people out. He got their vote…  nothing in it for him at this point in time…

IT’s VACATION TIME!… Yahoo!

Barack Obama proves once again he has absolutely no shame.  Puffing his chest out and claiming a fiscal cliff victory and a “balanced” approach that raises taxes without reducing the size of government, Barack Obama then zoomed away aboard Air Force One to return to Hawaii and the golf course – at an estimated cost of $3 million dollars just for the flight to the American taxpayer.

Air Force One is known to cost about $180,000 an hour to fly. Based on an estimated 18 hours roundtrip flying time for the jet between Washington and Honolulu, the travel cost alone of Obama’s decision to return to Hawaii amounts to around $3.24 million. And that doesn’t include the price tag for the massive security operation required to move the president or the cost of the cargo plane that follows Air Force One around.

…The price tag is in addition to more than $4 million that is already being spent on the Obamas’ Hawaii idyll, bringing the total cost of the excursion to well over $7 million.  LINK

Senate Report Confirms Obama Lied When He Linked Benghazi To Mohammed Film On September 18th…

(CNSNews.com) – Three days after CIA and State Department eyewitnesses reported on Sept. 15 that there had been no protest in Benghazi, Libya, before terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission and a CIA facility there on Sept. 11, President Barack Obama and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney both publicly linked the attacks, which killed four Americans, to protests against an anti-Muslim video that had been posted on YouTube.

Carney did it at the White House press briefing on Tuesday, Sept. 18, and Obama did it later that same day in a taped interview with David Letterman.

However, according to a new report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, personnel working at the CIA “Annex” in Benghazi on Sept. 11 reported on Sept. 15 that there had been no protest in Benghazi that day, and State Department security personnel who survived the Benghazi attacks told FBI interviewers on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 that they, too, had seen no evidence of any protest before the attacks.

At the White House briefing on Sept. 18, Carney said that there was a protest in Benghazi on Sept. 11 against the anti-Muslim YouTube video and that the attacks there were “sparked” by protests. Obama, appearing on David Letterman’s show that same day, instantly referred to the video and called its maker a “shadowy character” when Letterman asked him what had happened in Benghazi . . .

HERE’S an idea: Pres Clinton requested $60M to put Security in Schools…

Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can’t stop howling ridicule at the NRA’s idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA’s idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media’s going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.

This is how the media works to silence and vilify the opposition and to ensure that only their ideas control The Narrative. The media doesn’t care about securing our schools; they only care about coming after our guns and handing Obama another political win.

The media also doesn’t care how wildly hypocritical they look.

In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clinton requested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called “COPS in School,” a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking:

Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for “COPS in School,” a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.

“Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need,” Clinton said.

The media is not only so driven to ensure Sandy Hook is used to win this round on gun control that they’ve become morally blinded to what really needs to be done to immediately secure our schools; they’ve lost their grip historically and politically.

Think about it: The media is entering a new year attempting to convince parents that their children will be less safe with a policeman in their school.

Off the rails doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Clinton Pledges Funds to Add Police to Schools

Violence: President also earmarks money for child-counseling programs. GOP critics say youth problems should be addressed at home.

April 16, 2000 | LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON | AP

WASHINGTON — Marking the first anniversary of the shooting deaths at Columbine High School, President Clinton announced $120 million in new federal grants Saturday to place more police officers in schools and help even the youngest kids cope with their problems.

“In our national struggle against youth violence we must not fail our children; our future depends on it,” the president said in his weekly radio address.

Clinton announced that he and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will host a White House conference on teenagers on May 2 to “talk through the challenges of raising responsible children.”

Parents, teens, teachers, youth workers and others will discuss research that indicates the preteen years set patterns for behavior and success in adulthood. Other subjects will include the risks, challenges and anxieties faced by young people today and what can be done to avoid dangerous or risky behavior.

“We need to talk about safety and security in every house in America,” Clinton said.

Republican critics said the federal government is a clumsy middleman in trying to cope with problems that should be addressed locally. They cast doubt on whether the teen conference would accomplish anything, accused Clinton of ignoring media violence and said he should support stiff jail sentences for anyone carrying a firearm in a violent or drug-related crime.

Clinton announced $40 million in grants for 23 school districts that he said have found successful, comprehensive approaches to help troubled young people.

“These districts are bringing school nurses and counselors together to respond to warning signs like depression or bullying,” Clinton said. “They are improving classroom security and expanding after-school and mentoring programs.”

Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for “COPS in School,” a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.

“Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need,” Clinton said.

Finally, Clinton said the Education Department has earmarked $20 million for local proposals to create or expand counseling programs for elementary school children. “We have seen all too clearly that even our youngest children need our help,” he said.

“As we prepare next week to mark the one-year anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High School, our thoughts turn to the safety of our communities, schools and children,” Clinton said. “All of us–parents, schools, communities and government–share responsibility to keep kids safe.”

On April 20, 1999, two students at Columbine High in Littleton, Colo., fatally shot 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves.

Clinton’s proposals drew instant comment from Republicans.

“The White House conference on teenagers is sure to draw national headlines and attention, but unlikely to add new light to these troubling questions,” said Rep. J.C. Watts Jr. (R-Okla.), chairman of the House Republican Conference. He said the solutions will be found around America’s kitchen tables, “not from Washington or from posturing politicians.”

Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson accused Clinton of having “shamelessly politicized and taken advantage of national tragedies” while ignoring the films, television programs and music videos Nicholson said are responsible for creating “a culture of death” among youthful Americans. Instead of using his office to combat the entertainment industry, Clinton has chosen to use the industry as a source of campaign cash, he said.

You will be astonished at the number of school shootings.

http://www.stoptheshootings.org/

A New Assault Coming on 2nd Amendment Rights?

As we grieve with the parents of lost children there is nothing more tragic than what is becoming all too familiar to us- “School Shootings.” We all can identify with the senseless killings of INNOCENTS.

What can be more heartbreaking than seeing children killed as the reason for killing by someone with mental problems thinking their deaths will comfort their tortured souls.

Brace yourself for the next assault!  The politicization of the school shootings. Mayor Bloomberg, an Obama water bearer, is already touting gun control from his municipal pulpit demanding Obama take immediate action.

“In a statement released Friday afternoon, Bloomberg noted that Obama rightly sent his condolences to the families in Newtown, but urged the president to immediately introduce reforms that would create more restrictions around gun control. He is the co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of more than 600 mayors who support gun control initiatives, through which he issued the statement.”

“The country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem,” Bloomberg wrote. “Calling for ‘meaningful action’ is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership – not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today. This is a national tragedy and it demands a national response.”

Gun control should begin at the most basic level. OUTLAW the VIOLENCE in movies,  tv and video games!  Kids spend their time at home time playing video games using  their free time learning about weapon use and pretend killing. Bad role model for latch-key kids.

It is almost an impossibility to find a movie on cable that it’s central theme isn’t about FEAR and VIOLENCE. If the government wants to curb gun violence, begin with what our children are watching on tv and at the movies.  Prevent the video games available out there from falling into their hands as a babysitting tool passing the time away while the parents are away at work.

It is being reported, the 20 yr old Adam Lanza, was a mentally disturbed boy possibly autistic, who took out his rage and despair on the innocent students attending the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown CT.

Rather than working to disarm a country of citizens, perhaps addressing people diagnosed with mental problems need to be handled differently than they are now. To date, every single instance of mass shootings has been by people who have mental problems. From the Food Hood Massacre to Gabby Giffords.. From Columbine to Sandy Hook, the common thread among the shooters has been their mental instability as responsible for their deranged thinking and the killing of innocent people.

News just in-  saying Lanza’s Mom was NOT a teacher at the school.  School officials saying her name does not appear on any school roles in any capacity saying she may have been a school volunteer or an infrequent substitute teacher.

At any rate, this tragedy will be Obama’s springboard for another attempt at disarming ALL of America.  Thereby allowing government officials to be the sole bearers of  GUNS leaving Americans completely defenseless in the face of a potential totalitarian government takeover.

SOROS Ties To The Muslim Brotherhood….

You’ve heard the warnings about the Muslim Brotherhood before. The radicals who have designs on all Muslim countries and seek to destroy the West and Israel have met with members of the Obama administration and have been infiltrating U.S. government and society for years.

Now, in a Blaze Magazine exclusive, we reveal that left-wing sugar daddy George Soros has some unnerving ties to the radical Islamist movement that is seeking to take over Egypt and the rest of the Middle East, implement Shariah law and establish a global caliphate.

For those familiar with George Soros and his myriad organizations–from the Open Society Institute to the International Crisis Group–the billionaire financier’s long and distinct history of promoting far-Left causes both at home and abroad is well known.

But the mention of Soros actually joining forces with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood takes radical political activism to an entirely new level, conjuring up images of an unholy alliance forged in the fiery pits of Mordor.

But Soros does have ties to and had joined forces with the Brotherhood.

And we have the evidence.

For example:

*A 2008 report from Soros’ International Crisis Group (ICG) titled “Egypt’s Muslim Brothers: Confrontation or Integration?” strongly urged the normalization and “regularization” of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “participation” in Egyptian political life, including by “ceasing” arrests of Muslim Brothers and “setting guidelines for the establishment of a political party with religious reference.” According to the ICG, these measures, if executed, would prove Egypt’s “wider commitment to political pluralism.” The ICG’s “integration” report also trivialized the crackdown on the Brotherhood as “dangerously short-sighted.”

*The spokesmen for Soros’ ICG are none other than former Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher (who also oversees research at the Soros-funded Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) and onetime U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head and current Brotherhood-endorsed interim Egyptian steward Mohamed ElBaradei. Soros, Muasher and ElBaradei all have a nasty habit of minimizing the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood.

*Soros’ buddy Muasher, doing his best impression of a Chicago politician, referred to the Middle East uprisings and breakdown in Israeli-Palestinian talks as a “crisis” that “would be a terrible thing to waste.”

And that’s only the tip of the radical-family iceberg.

Of course, this fits right in with Soros’ anti-Israel agenda.

In a February 2011 op-ed Soros wrote for the Washington Post, the Left’s favorite moneyman unilaterally decided America’s power and influence in the world had all but vanished and trivialized U.S. and Israeli fears over the civil unrest in Egypt. Soros dismissed the idea that dissidents who sought to topple the Mubarak regime would be the least bit hostile to Israel.

Soros even went so far as to say the opposition was “not advancing a theocratic agenda at all” and then praised the only organized political force in the region–the Muslim Brotherhood.

Consistently referring to Israel as the “stumbling block” to peace in the Middle East, Soros made no bones about his hopes for the Brotherhood. He even heartily encouraged giving the Muslim Brotherhood a place at Egypt’s social and political table when the country’s streets erupted in flames in early 2011.

Soros urged President Obama to stand with the revolution in Egypt–and lamenting Israel’s being in the way.

FRANCE May be the first to FALL to Islamization..is the US NEXT?

Sharia Law may claim it’s first European Country, France. Having the highest number of Muslim immigrants of any European country some 15 million Muslims now live in France. Will the Muslim takeover of France be breaking ground for more European countries to fall?   Will the French government buckle, allowing Sharia Law to be the Law of the Land? The French government is blacking out their media refusing to cover news of Islam’s radical undertaking.

“A broad coalition of groups from across France came together because they feel they’re losing their country to radical Islam, Sharia law, and a politically correct establishment that encourages the spread of Islam.”

“Sharia law is slowly being enforced in our country and we want to march here to protest that because our government is doing nothing,” one French demonstrator said.

“The French people — they want to defend their culture, their history – they are called ‘fascists,’” one woman said.

“I don’t think it’s only a problem of France. It’s a problem of Europe. It’s also a problem for the U.S.A.,” another protestor said.

Then you have the ‘Islamization’ of Paris:

“If France faces an Islamic future, a Russian author has already written about it. The novel is called “The Mosque of Notre Dame, 2048,” a bestseller in Russia, not in France.”
French publisher Jean Robin said the French media ignored the book because it was politically incorrect.

“Islam is seen as the religion of the poor people, so you can’t say to the poor people, ‘You’re wrong,’ otherwise, you’re a fascist,” Robin explained.

The book lays out a dark future when France has become a Muslim nation, and the famous cathedral has been turned into a mosque.

Whether that plot is farfetched depends on whom you ask. Muslims are said to be no more than 10 percent of the French population, although no one knows for sure because French law prohibits population counts by religion.

But the Muslim birthrate is significantly higher than for the native French. Some Muslim men practice polygamy, with each extra wife having children and collecting a welfare check.

“The problem of Islam is more than a problem of numbers,” said French philosopher Radu Stoenescu, an Islamic expert who debates Muslim leaders on French TV. “The problem is one of principles. It’s an open question. Is Islam an ideology or just a creed?”

“It doesn’t matter how many there are,” he aded. “The problem is the people who follow Islam; they’re somehow in a political party, which has a political agenda, which means basically implementing Sharia and building an Islamic state.”

Here is a WARNING from a former Muslim :

To the infidels of the West:

The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.

We will fight the infidel to death. 

– Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
– Democrats Leftist will support us.
– N.G.O.s will legitimize us.
– C.A.I.R. will incubate us.
– The A.C.L.U. will empower us.
– Western Universities will educate us.
– Mosques will shelter us
– O.P.E.C. will finance us
– Hollywood will love us.
– Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.

Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.

We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.

We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.

We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.

Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes. Who are we?

We are the sleeper cells.

Protests in Alexandria, Cairo

Protests in Alexandria, Cairo and other cities were sparked by edicts issued last week by President Mohammed Morsi. In Alexandria, protesters broke into the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood. (Nov. 27)

Obama Fired Military Officers Because He ‘Fears a Coup’

GUILT is trailing Obama like a shadow he can’t shake. Maybe because the military’s VOTES WERE NEVER COUNTED for the 2012 Election? Lots to feel guilty about.

Firings always HELP Barack sleep better at night..

According to (shadowy anonymous blogger) Sorcha Faal the Russian military’s GRU foreign intelligence unit presented a report to Kremlin leadership late last month that said Obama removed one of the United States Navy’s most powerful admirals from his command (in the wake of Benghazi 9/11) specifically because he fears a military coup is being planned against him.

Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette

On 9/11/2012, that officer –Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette, commander of Carrier Strike Group Three in the Middle East- apparently felt obligated to come to the aid of besieged US defenses at the Benghazi consulate, violating an utterly bewildering White House command he probably had a hard time believing was even being made. Gaouette was said to be attempting to help AFRICOM commander General Carter Ham, also purged by Obama for violating of an obstinate White House insistence to ‘stand down’.

Ham considered himself bound-by-duty to take action, but the story goes that his second-in-command -a likely Obammunist- promptly stepped-right-up and informed him he’d just been ‘relieved of his command’, effective immediately- General Ham was then physically apprehended/arrested.

General Carter Ham

Subsequently -and despite Navy claims that he was NOT ‘replaced’ due to Benghazi– Admiral Gaouette was otherwise inexplicably removed as Carrier Strike Group commander on October 27th…

Faal:

US news reports on Obama’s unprecedented firing of a powerful US Navy Commander during wartime state that Admiral Gaouette’s removal was for ‘allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment’ that arose during the strike group’s deployment to the Middle East.

This GRU report, however, states that Admiral Gaouette’s firing by President Obama was due to this strike force commander disobeying orders when he ordered his forces on 11 September to ‘assist and provide intelligence for’ American military forces ordered into action by US Army General Carter Ham, who was then the commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), against terrorist forces attacking the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

General Ham had been in command of the initial 2011 US-NATO military intervention in Libya who, like Admiral Gaouette, was fired by Obama.

And as we can, in part, read from US military insider accounts of this growing internal conflict between the White House and US Military leaders: ‘The information I heard today was that General [Carter] Ham as head of AFRICOM received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down.
His response was ‘screw it’, he was going to help anyhow.

Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command…’

TRUCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND GAZA..

LOOKS AS WORTHLESS AS THE PAPER IT’S PRINTED ON-

………………………………………….

 

BREAKING: Gaza Ceasefire That Took Effect Last Night

( And The Back Story)

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Egyptian equivalent Mohamed Kamel Amr held a joint press conference today announcing a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel with Egypt as a mediating partner.

The deal basically takes effect at 8 PM local time. Both sides are to cease attacks on each other, Israel is to cease targeting Hamas leaders, and to take some undefined steps to ease its sea blockade of Gaza after a 24-hour period.

Now,here’s what actually happened.

According to a couple of my notorious lil’ birdies who are very much in a position to know, the Israelis fully intended to go into Gaza and eradicate Hamas. A country like Israel doesn’t call up that many reserves and affect its economy unless they were serious about the matter.

But then the Obama Administration intervened.

They were perfectly happy for Israel to go in to Gaza and take out Hamas, but insisted that they then turn Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority. This was supposed to strengthen PA President Mahmoud Abbas as ‘Palestine’s savior’ . As as a kicker, President Obama insisted that Israel immediately declare a Palestinian State in Gaza and most of Judea and Samaria, including areas currently under Israeli sovereignty from which the Jewish residents would then be removed. These were also to be turned over to Abbas.

If the Israelis were unwilling to have the IDF do Mahmoud Abbas’ dirty work for him and then give up large areas populated by Jews, then the Obama Administration told the Israelis the U.S. would not back an IDF ground assault in Gaza.

So they Israelis took the ceasefire, essentially meaning that Hamas is going to be left in place to regroup and fight another day. And can claim a victory.

That’s way Israel appeared to be delaying their ground operation for so long..the real back and forth was between the Obama Administration and Israel.

As a sop for being cooperative, President Obama said in a statement that he congratulated PM Netanyahu for accepting the truce and that the US would use the opportunity offered by a ceasefire to intensify efforts to help Israel address its security needs, especially the issue of the smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza.

How what is going to happen is, shall we say, problematical? Apparently – wait for it- The White House expects the new Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt to take charge of policing Hamas. After all, that approach worked so well in keeping Hezbollah in Lebanon from rearming after the 2006 war, even with a UN peacekeeping force on the ground.

The President also said that he was committed to seeking additional funding for Iron Dome and other US-Israel missile defense programs.

What’s really behind this, of course, is an effort to strengthen Egypt’s Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government as a regional player and improve ties between the Islamists and the U.S.

It also takes the heat off Morsi, had Israel gone into Gaza, there would have been widespread agitating for Egypt to send ‘volunteers’ to fight the Israelis.

We’ll see if this takes hold. I’d be surprised if it didn’t, since it’s mostly on Hamas’ terms.

Surprise: Obama forced Netanyahu to accept one-sided pro-Hamas ‘cease fire’

Here’s yet another indication that President Obama (without even the consent of  ‘moderate‘ ‘Palestinian‘ President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen forced Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept a ‘cease fire’ arrangement that is favorable to Hamas (Hat Tip: Ricky G).

Obama “commended [Israel’s] Prime Minister for agreeing to the Egyptian ceasefire proposal – which the President recommended the Prime Minster do,” said the 12.31 a.m. EST statement from the White House.

The cease-fire terms released by Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi’s office do not mention any measures to penalize Hamas for launching another wave of rocket attacks against Israel.

“A. Israel should stop all hostilities in the Gaza Strip land, sea and air including incursions and targeting of individuals. … All Palestinian factions shall stop all hostilities from the Gaza Strip against Israel including rocket attacks and all attacks along the border,” said the statement.

The announcement also seems to accept Hamas’s demand for an end to Israeli restrictions on the importation of military-related items into the enclave, and its ban on movement of Hamas’ people from Gaza to the nearby West Bank, which is ruled by an unpopular Arab authority that has curbed attacks against Israel.

“Refraining from restricting residents’ free movements and targeting residents in border areas and procedures of implementation shall be dealt with after 24 hours from the start of the ceasefire,” said the announcement.

The announcement does not include mechanisms to enforce Hamas’s compliance. “Each party shall commit itself not to perform any acts that would breach this understanding,” said the statement.

…

The absence of any enforceable terms in an inconclusive cease-fire agreement, which would still prevent Israel’s threatened ground movement into the enclave, will be touted as a victory by Hamas and its allies.

Hamas’ allies wanted to stop an Israeli movement that could have killed many of Hamas’s jihadis and leaders, destroyed more of their hidden weapons and demonstrated their inability to maintain control of their territory.

Also, any cease-fire arrangement without terms is a de facto rejection by the United States and Egypt of Israel’s goals for peace.

Israel’s government had sought new curbs on Hamas’ ability to smuggle rockets and other weapons into the enclave, and for the creation of a kilometer-wide buffer zone between Israel and Gaza. They sought the buffer because local jihadis routinely launch rockets at Israeli border patrols and farmers.

Morsi and Hamas are ideological allies.

Hamas is the Gaza-based affiliate of the international Muslim Brotherhood Islamist movement, which is based in Egypt.

It should be clear that the only way Israel agrees to such a one-sided arrangement (although admittedly, it should also infuriate Abu Mazen – see below) is that President Obama forces the Prime Minister’s hand. In other words, Bibi caved in again. Why?

There’s an election two months from today. Netanyahu does not want to give his opposition more ammunition about how he has spoiled Israel’s relations with the United States – something which is assigned way too high a value here in my humble opinion. Now, suppose Bibi wins. Does he continue to kiss Obama’s butt after the election, at least for some period of time. My guess is yes because (a) he wants Obama to strike Iran or at least not veto an Israeli strike and (b) unlike the US, a Prime Minister of Israel has no limit on the number of terms he can serve (Bibi has already served two) but is subject to his government falling at any time. Bibi may be afraid that Obama can bring him down if he’s not a good boy.

But Bibi is wrong. As much stock as Israelis put in their relations with the US, they also recognize that there are no good relations to be had with this President. Had Bibi defied Obama, the public would have backed him. The proof? A Channel 2 poll taken before the cease fire went into effect on Wednesday night found that 70% of the Israeli public opposes the cease fire, only 24% favors it, and only 7% believe it will last.  And you can bet that most of that 24% was not aware of the provisions I highlighted above. So he caved in to Obama needlessly, at least from a political perspective.

Finally, this agreement has a message for Abu Mazen as well. The provision that allows Hamas terrorists to travel to Judea and Samaria is bound to undermine Abu Mazen’s rule there, and is undoubtedly blowback for Abu Mazen’s continued insistence (including Wednesday in his meeting with Secretary of State Clinton) on pushing ahead with the UN vote. Obama essentially told him that if he won’t play ball, he will be replaced by Hamas. Obama also proved to Abu Mazen that he can bend Netanyahu and force him to make the concessions Abu Mazen wants him to make. Will Abu Mazen get another chance/? Maybe. Or maybe Obama has decided that he is going to try to force Israel to reach an agreement with Hamas.

It’s a long time to 2016….

WH Throws CIA Under the Bus

The White House is doubling down on their assertions that they did not have the proper information when they sent Susan Rice out to the Sunday talk shows to claim the Benghazi attack was due to a video. They claim that the only edit they made to the information given them was to change the name of the attacked facility from “consulate” to “diplomatic facility.”

Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said Saturday:

“We were provided with points by the intelligence community that represented their assessment. The only edit made by the White House was the factual edit about how to refer to the facility.

Rhodes said that the White House changed “consulate” to “diplomatic facility.”  He continued, “Other than that, we were guided by the points that were provided by the intelligence community. So I can’t speak to any other edits that may have been made.”

It had to be the CIA that screwed up, not the White House, right? Sure it was, Rhodes asserted:”I can’t speak to what the process is within the CIA.  (The administration) indicated we believed extremists were involved. The president himself called it an ‘act of terror,’ right? So you have an initial assessment, an initial judgment, but you’re able to get more specific as … the investigation proceeds. That’s going to be the natural progression of events.”

According to insiders who heard the testimony of General David Petraeus on Friday, he said that he had quickly concluded after the attack that it was a terrorist attack. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said that the talking points that administration officials used erased the reference to a terrorist attack.

Rhodes finished throwing the CIA under the bus like this:

 The focus of this has often been on public statements that were made by Susan Rice and other administration officials in that first week after the attack, those were informed by unclassified talking points that were provided to the Congress and the other agencies in the rest of the administration by the intelligence community. So that’s what informed our public statements. Now if there were adjustments to them made by the intelligence community, that’s common and that’s something they would have done themselves. Yet officials inside the White House apparently have  confessed  that the White House knew within 72 hours of the attack that it was al-Qaeda operated. And knowing that the attack was likely being viewed in the situation room of the White House as it occurred makes it virtually impossible to believe that the White House would have eschewed getting information from the CIA immediately. information that Petraeus has acknowledged confirmed it was a terrorist attack.

The question is this: is the CIA willing to go to the rack on behalf of a White House that is throwing it under the bus?

WHY IS THE WHITE HOUSE PROTECTING AL-QAIDA?

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga said: White House cut al-Qaida in talking points!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI)Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said on “Fox News Sunday” every agency representative who testified last week before the Intelligence Committee on the deadly attack in Benghazi claimed not to know who “edited” the controversial talking points in which U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said the raid was the result of an impromptu street demonstration

“Everybody there was asked, do you know who made these changes?” Chambliss said. “Nobody knew. The only entity that reviewed the talking points that was not there was the White House.

“What I do know is that every member of the intelligence community says that references to al-Qaida were removed by somebody, and they don’t know who,” Chambliss added.

Another committee member, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ind-Conn., told Fox there was still confusion over Rice and the talking points but he considered the debate to be less significant than larger questions about the State Department’s handling of diplomatic security in Libya at a time when intelligence indicated al-Qaida and other militants were setting up shop in the unstable country.

“With what we know now about the intelligence on the terrorists who were in the vicinity of Benghazi, it was in my opinion irresponsible to have our State Department personnel there, with only three security guards,” Lieberman said. “Either we should have given them the protection they deserved, or should have closed that mission in Benghazi, as the British government had done a short while before.”

PETRAEUS TO TESTIFY..

This is all the information we have right now..

(UPDATE: See below)

So far this is only a breaking headline at Fox News, but the word on Twitter is that former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify in both House and Senate intelligence committee hearings about the terrorist attack that killed four Americans and sacked our consulate in Benghazi.  That reverses the previous announcements that Petraeus would decline to testify and have acting DCI Michael Morell handle Congress in his stead.

We’ll add more as the story develops.  This probably won’t mean any big surprises in the Benghazi story line, but it will give Congress an opening to demand answers on how the White House decided to push the spontaneous-movie-review meme for so long in the face of the overwhelming data that the attack was both deliberate and well-planned, with paramilitary forces, materiel, and tactics.

Fox does have a story link up, but with little detail as of yet.

Petraeus to testify before Congress on Benghazi attack

Former CIA Director David H. Petraeus has agreed to testify before Congress about the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, The Washington Times has learned.

Mr. Petraeus will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr. Petraeus will testify Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill and before the Senate Intelligence Committee at an off-site location, a congressional source said.

Mr. Petraeus had cancelled his scheduled appearance before the Senate panel on Thursday after he resigned as CIA director on Friday amid revelations he had an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell

Lawmakers will focus what the CIA knew before, during and after the Benghazi attack, and whether its account differs from that of the White House.

However, they also are likely to ask about his affair, whether it compromised national security and whether he disclosed any classified information to Mrs. Broadwell.

During an Oct. 26 speech at the University of Colorado, Mrs. Broadwell talked about the Benghazi attack and suggested it was an attempt to free militants being held in the CIA’s annex building. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack.

The FBI also found classified material on Mrs. Broadwell’s computer, but she has said she did not receive it from Mr. Petraeus

Petraeus Resigns Rather than LIE for Obama..

The Lie… “Obama said: It was the amateur 15 min video that caused a protest in Benghazi which led to the death of 4 Americans including the brutal death of the US Ambassador to Libya.”

My information is that Petraeus did not resign because of the affair he mentions in his resignation latter. My information is that Petraeus quit because he misled carefully the relevant intelligence committees on their inquiries on the Benghazi tragedy in the first wave of investigation in September and October.

Am told that Petraeus did not testify to the committees while under oath. Am told that Petraeus did not want to return to the Hill under oath next week and confront the inconsistencies in his remarks about the CIA’s part in the fiasco.

The impolite word is “lie.” The White House developed the “hateful video” explanation on September 11/12. It was nakedly fallacious. Petraeus did not correct the record in public.

The election stalled a full Congressional inquiry. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will not take to the idea of a commission, however Senator Diane Feinstein has the whip hand with her intelligence committee in the Senate.

The House will proceed at all possible speed in the Lame Duck. This will go far and high. The leaking is daily and brutal. At risk right away is the administration’s plan to advance Susan Rice, perhaps as the next Secretary of State.

However all the principals of the national security apparatus are at risk, Tom Donilon, Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs, President and Vice President. It appears that the American people were purposefully misinformed by the Obama administration. Why, what purpose? The election? Or worse?

Why did the DCI keep silent?

Romney WON- Obama’s Win was a MISTAKE…

So much flexibility, so little time.

Data Points To A Powerful Romney Campaign – And Yet…He Lost?

Forensic auditors remain completely confounded as to how the reported #s and final results appear to directly conflict with data such as appears in this link.

THIS DATA IS IMPORTANT SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW IT AS WELL.

Here is a brief summary of just how well Mitt Romney did in shifting voters toward him in 2012 versus what took place in 2008:

Mitt Romney earned MORE Republican votes in 2012 than were cast in 2008 by 3% points.

Barack Obama earned FEWER Black votes in 2012 than he did in 2008.

Mitt Romney by the way, earned MORE Black votes in 2012 than were cast for the Republican in 2008.

Mitt Romney earned MORE votes from both married men and married woman than were cast for Republicans in 2008, while also improving support among non-married men and woman by 2% from 2008 as well.

Mitt Romney earned MORE votes among liberals, moderates, and conservatives than were cast for the Republican candidate in 2008 – in fact, this improvement was by a full 7% over 2008 – a very significant improvement.

Mitt Romney earned more votes from Protestants, Catholics, and Jews than the Republican nominee received in 2008, including a 9-point improvement among Jewish voters alone.

The two top issues according to voters were the economy and the budget. Mitt Romney earned A 38 POINT ADVANTAGE OVER BARACK OBAMA on the top two issues of the election – and yet Romney was somehow defeated?

Lastly, regarding the following three personal trait issues – strong leader, shares my values, and has a vision for the future, Mitt Romney DOMINATED Barack Obama among 2012 voters by 45 points. And lost the election?
…………………………..

Here is the link to the data via the Washington Post. It is stunning, some might even say inconceivable, that a candidate improves in such categories as overall votes among Whites AND minorities, is ranked far ahead of their opponent in both the top two concerns among voters, as well as the three most important personal trait issues – and still loses the election.

That is exactly what happened election night. Somehow, someway…that is what happened to Mitt Romney – and to all who supported him.

HAVE THE TV ANCHORS MADE A MISTAKE?

See link below – and the dramatic shift in Republicans’ favor in 2012 vs 2008. A shift the resulted in a confounding loss that remains dubious at best…

WHY WERE THE: Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late? They  Would Have Swung Election For Romney

WASHINGTON, DC – Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor Mitt Romney.

Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.

“I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo,” Davis told investigators earlier today. “He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didn’t hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didn’t dig those ones back out.”

After military officials realized the initial error, the ballots were then sent back to the U.S. but suffered a series of setbacks.

Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted.
Gunny’s Blog

 

The remaining absentee ballots were loaded onto a C-130, but the flight was delayed until November 1st so the crew could get tax free pay for the month. Once the ballots arrived stateside they were promptly mailed to each state’s counting facility, reaching their final destination on November 7th.

“It’s a shame,” Rear Admiral John Dawes said when asked for comment. “I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago. It’s really unfortunate that our mail system failed us and directly affected the course of history.”

Upon hearing the news, angry Republicans have begun a demand for a recount, but most military absentee voters have shrugged off the news, with many wondering whether the care packages their families sent six months ago were ever going to show up.

OBAMA DIDN’T WIN and JESSIE JACKSON JR. COASTS TO RE-ELECTION

Now one of these two headlines isn’t True.  You’ll have to think a minute and guess which one is more believable.  Both of these statements have their own set of believability problems whether they are True or Not. The only believable reality we have is the electoral  vote system is beyond dysfunctional.

Jessie Jackson jr. WON re-election in spite of a serious ethics violations investigation from his temporary home for the last 6 months at the Mayo Clinic.

“Amid health issues that have kept him from office since June and various reports of bizarre behavior, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.  was re-elected in Tuesday’s election. The Chicago Democrat cruised to an easy victory over Republican Brian Woodworth and Independent Marcus Lewis in Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. Jackson won 71.7 percent of the popular vote with 43 percent of precincts reporting. As of that time, Woodworth had 14.2 percent support.”

 

Jackson said in a statement from Mayo Clinic that he was “humbled and moved” by his constituents’ support.

“U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder earlier this year and has made no public appearances since early this summer,easily won re-election to his Chicago-area district Tuesday.

Jackson, a Democrat who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1995, was expected to win despite his ailment and ethics questions hanging over him. He defeated Republican Brian Woodworth, a lawyer and professor at Olivet Nazarene University.”

As Chris Matthews said: ‘I’m so glad we had that storm last week'”

“In their gloating over Obama’s victory, members of the left are letting the mask slip. Chris Matthews, already notorious for his over the top enthusiasms for Obama, and vitriolic rhetoric toward conservatives, has actually reveled in the death and destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy. For the left, you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs. The Bolsheviks, too, were quite willing to let the people of Russia suffer, in pursuit of their utopia.

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS:

by Tellurian

Both questions have been answered- Obama was declared the winner of the 2012 presidential election without visible voter support. And as uncanny as it is,  a WIN was pulled off by a absentee candidate, Jessie Jackson jr, absent  from his official  office for the last six months living and in treatment at the Mayo Clinic for a bi-polar disorder was also re-elected last night.

Miracles of miracles… TWO miracles happening effortlessly without batting an eyelash!

So, let the BLAME GAMES begin.  Who or what is at fault here?

Was Romney too soft on Obama? Was his ‘nice’ guy approach just too unbearably ‘nice’ to crush the hopes of Obama loyalists for re-electing their candidate?

Or is it Governor Christie’s  fault?  Did a Republican by simply hugging Obama during his tour of the devastation inflicted on NJ residents by hurricane Sandy break Romney’s momentum so badly causing the needle to move far Left actually helping put Obama over the top to ultimately win the election?

Putting your your mind at ease- here is a quote by Gov Christie released this morning

“This morning, Christie made it clear,   “I told Gov. Romney at that time that if the storm landed as predicted that it was going to be catastrophic to New Jersey and unprecedented,” Christie said. “I said to him, ‘Listen, Mitt, if this storm hits the way I think it’s going to, I’m off the campaign trail from here to Election Day.’ And he said to me, ‘Chris, of course. Do your job, don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of things.’ So all this other noise, I think, is coming from know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers who, you know, don’t like the fact that I said nice things about the president of the United States. Well, that’s too bad for them.”

“He told me last Sunday night that he expected no other political travel or help from me over the course of the remaining time between then and the election, if in fact the storm hit the way it was projected,” Christie continued. “If it missed us, I would have been happy to go out on the road and help him. But it didn’t.”

So there you have it- It wasn’t Christie’s fault. Unless you think one moment of bi-partisanship in full public view is so powerful, it can win elections.  Which to my mind is too incredible to be believed.

Governor Romney was perfectly content to let Christie do his job taking care of his constituency before and after the Perfect Storm was to make landfall in NJ.  Christie was not the cause of Romney’s loss. Hurricane Sandy might qualify as a contributor to Romney’s loss but not in the conventional way we think of as obstructionism but more in the way of a distraction from our priorities of the moment.  Granted, many of Sandy’s victims were overwhelmed and rightly so, by the sheer destruction and loss of their homes and so little help forthcoming to them by FEMA the next day if anything they blamed ( Obama) the Federal government.  It isn’t a reach that depression and anger could overtake them resulting in an apathetic view of a dysfunctional government finally saying.. “I Give Up.” and not turn that anger into a vote for Romney.. I happen to think the effect would be the reverse.. Safe to say.. It wasn’t the dastardly fault of a hurricane either.

So here we are at ‘The Day After the Election’.. The question remains.  Who or what is to blame for Romney loss to a more than unqualified, unwanted  candidate who has done nothing in four years to stir a sustainable resurrection of our economy easing the suffering of distraught Americans without a home or a job?

Well we’ve had one viable option floating in the ether that seems to resonate as a distinct possibility as an underlying cause. VOTER FRAUD.

To back up a little, refreshing the histrionics of past experience lamenting what was done right  in front of our eyes during the Primary of 08′ to Hillary Clinton, all because the Dem Party arbitrarily decided she couldn’t win.

Even though the DNC  had sequestered the electoral votes from Florida and Michigan away from both candidates because both states had broken the primary rules of not changing the election dates chosen by the DNC.  The Rule stated, “If any state was to move the date of the primary chosen by the DNC, they would be severely penalized by the [DNC]  not having their electoral votes counted toward a democrat candidate or a penalty to be decided issued to the offending state at the discretion of the DNC.

To make a long story short. In their discretionary power, the DNC awarded all of the electoral votes to Obama even though Hillary won a majority vote in Florida and MI, where if you recall Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan.. Electoral Theft before our very eyes.

So, is it within the scope of comprehension that last night’s election could have been stolen from Romney as well?  When we know in the waning days of the election, Obama’s venue attendance were shrieking before our eyes from tens of thousands to a mere 3 thousand, if that.  However, the venues at Romney’s venues were overflowing with tens of thousands in attendance. Thousands of people looking forward to seeing Romney walking up to a reported 4 miles to get to the rally site only to be turned away because the venues were severely overcrowded before they arrived.

In effect, through this preliminary process of elimination, it seems Voter Fraud is a distinct possibility.
How it was done this time, we do not yet know. But I guarantee you,  we are NOT about to let it stand.

So, your mission my friends, IS to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN.  Any information you find (there will be leaks) relating to this Grand Theft. Please get it out on the Internet. If it can be verified as TRUE, we will run with it as unstoppable as a freight train losing it’s brakes until this travesty to the American people is rectified.

Month Before Benghazi Attack: “Smoking Gun Warning Here”

“I really believe, having read it, that it is the smoking gun warning here. You’ve got this emergency meeting in Benghazi, less than a month before the attack. At that briefing, the people are told that there are ten, ten, Islamic militias and al-Qaeda groups in Benghazi. The consulate can not sustain a coordinated attack and they need extra help. This information goes directly to the office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. So, again, you have the culpability of the State Department. This is a very specific warning that they’re in trouble, they need help and they see an attack on the horizon,” FOX News’ Catherine Herridge reported on FOX News’ “On the Record” Wednesday night.

Read Herridge’s report here.

“I believe based on this cable the point that was being made, that they wanted made publicly, not just in a classified study, is that the warning that came from Benghazi was very specific. It said ‘we can not withstand an attack,’ the militias are everything, al-Qaeda is here. This was known to the U.S. intelligence community as well. And that they really could not see a situation where security was going to turn around. They send that it was trending negatively,” Herridge further reported.

“I can’t think of anything that would be more specific than if these groups had emailed the State Department and said, ‘Here’s the time, here’s the place, and here’s the method of the attack,'” she said.

“There can be no doubt that this is really a cry for help from the people on the ground,” Herridge told Greta van Susteren.

“If you couple this with the fact that we were coming up with the 9/11 anniversary and if you couple this with the statements that a videotape was somehow responsible, what you see is that is completely undercut. This cable says that, ‘The militias and al-Qaeda are here, we essentially think that we are next.’ So to take this attack and to suggest for such a long period of time that it was a video when you have classified cable and the intelligence, it just doesn’t match up,” she said.

“What I see is a growing body of evidence that the State Department has culpability for the death of the Ambassador and those three Americans,” Herridge declared. “The warnings were specific, they were direct, they name the enemy and they said that this consulate needed more support. And it also indicated in the cable that the consulate should probably move long-term into the annex. We now know that is the CIA facility in Benghazi.       Real Clear Politics

   

 

Gingrich: Senator Told Me Networks Have Emails From White House Ordering Team to Stand Down on Benghazi Rescue

UPDATE: ​The Obama administration has denied that anyone at the White House nixed any requests for assistance in Benghazi.

​Original story below:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday a U.S. senator told him that at least two news networks have emails from the White House ordering a counterterrorism team to stand down on a rescue mission at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” Gingrich told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “They were a group in real-time trying to mobilize Marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House ‘stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action.’”

He continued, “If that’s true, and I’ve been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that’s true and that comes out in the next day or two, I think it raises enormous questions about the president’s role, Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviser’s role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said don’t go. And I think that’s very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.”

Gingrich said if accurate, it leaves two conclusions: that the the secretary of defense usurped the commander in chief or that Obama never gave the order.

“I think you are going to see this come back tomorrow and the next day,” he said.

Gingrich said he thinks Benghazi will be “enormous in terms of the election,” saying that he’s been to multiple places where voters want to know what happened.

“[Benghazi] was suspended for two days by the storm coverage, which dominated everything, but I think tomorrow as the storm begins to recede, you’ll see Benghazi come back,” he said

The White House Disinformation Campaign of Libya…

Something else the left wing media aren’t telling you about Benghazi

Witnesses who live near the U.S. Consulate report that Islamic terrorists were sealing off streets and setting up checkpoints two hours before the attacks began.

Debate has raged about who is responsible for the attack, which led to the deaths of four Americans, including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Fingers have been pointed at Libyan Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia, which increased in strength during the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi and has a similar ideology to al-Qaeda. But the group has denied involvement, instead suggesting the attack was the result of a protest against the US-made, anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims”.

A longtime Military Insider gives a brief and searing response regarding whether or not U.S.military could have successfully been deployed in time to save Americans under attack by terrorists on September 11th at the American consulate in Benghazi.

MILITARY INSIDER:  How soon could we have gotten to Benghazi?  All that was needed to send those  -deleted-  scattering was one single F-18.  Range of app. 2k.  TS of over 1000mph.  Do the math.  We had that capability less than 500 miles away.   NASSIG would have had full armed deployment inside of 20.  From time of initial report to arming, to takeoff.  I’ve seen it done in less.  ETA  to consulate in less than hour.   Would have ripped a hole in the sky to get there.  This is exactly what we are trained for.  Just one flyer would have lit those  -deleted-  up inside of 10. Coordinates known.  That’s all our guys need.  Would have been precision termination.  Clean.  In/out.

Instead,  left on own to die out there. 

Not the first time.

WHC coordinating with State, others  to TS classify everything.  EVERYTHING. 

Shutting it all down.

If Obama Ordered Military To “Secure Our Personnel,” Where Is Proof Of That Order?

Former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Marine Bing West crushes the “fog of war” excuse laid out earlier by the Obama White House – namely challenging Barack Obama himself to show proof of the directive he told to the American people that he gave as terrorists were attacking the Benghazi compound.  Either Barack Obama lied, or his own military leaders refused to follow his directive.  Either way, he is unworthy to be given the responsibility of four more years as America’s Commander in Chief.

(Persistent questions remain as to why no help was given to Americans under attack by terrorists at the Benghazi com For hours these American fought back and waiting for that help to arrive.  It never did.  Barack Obama publicly claimed to have given a directive to “secure our personnel” – but no proof of that directive has yet been shown, and members of the American military are stating no directive was ever received.)

EXCERPT:

Our ambassador to Libya was killed in our own consulate in Benghazi on the night of September 11. For the next six weeks, President Obama repeated the same talking point: The morning after the attack, he ordered increased security in our embassies in the region.

Suddenly, on the campaign trail in Denver on October 26, he changed his story. “The minute I found out what was happening . . . I gave the directive,” he said, “to make sure we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to do. I guarantee you everybody in the CIA and military knew the number-one priority was making sure our people are safe.”

Notice the repeated use of the present tense, implying that he gave the order during the attack. Mr. Obama met with his national-security team, including the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at 5:00 p.m. Washington time. 

…The SecDef and the president have issued contradictory explanations. Either Mr. Obama ordered the Secretary of Defense to “do whatever we need to do,” or he didn’t. And either the secretary obeyed that order, or he didn’t. And he didn’t.

…Yet the general in charge of the Africa region has allegedly said he received no directive from Washington to dispatch military aid. Members of the mutual protective society of generals are offering the bizarre defense that our Africa Command could do nothing because it has no military assets; it’s some sort of ghost command. Even if that is true, the most powerful nation in the world has sufficient forces and flexibility to send fighter aircraft over a consulate in flames, or to land some troops at the secure airport east of Benghazi. After all, our embassy in Tripoli, 400 miles away, sent an aircraft with six Americans to fight in Benghazi. But our base in Sigonella, 480 miles away, sent no help.

Surely it is in the president’s best interests to release a copy of his order, which the military would have sent to hundreds in the chain of command. And if the president did not direct the NSC “to do whatever we need to do,” then who was in charge? When the American ambassador is attacked and remains out of American hands for over seven hours as a battle rages — and our military sends no aid — either the crisis-response system inside the White House is incompetent, or top officials are covering up.

OBAMA attempting to “Run Out the Clock” on Libyan Scandal…

OBAMA DIDN’T KNOW THE EMBASSY NEEDED HELP? HE WATCHED IT LIVE AS IT WAS HAPPENING FOR 6 HRS IN THE SITUATION ROOM! WATCHING AMERICANS BEING MURDERED!

“The White House itself   is  being careful about not making news. This is why no statement was released denying the Fox News report. If the Administration issues a denial, the CorruptMedia will be forced to cover the denial, which in turn will call attention to the story.

You bet it’s a big, fat naked conspiracy between the Obama campaign and the media. This is nothing more than a replay of the John Edwards scandal, where the media ignored an extra-marital affair until Edwards’ chances at being elected president disappeared.

I could be wrong about one thing, though; my speculation that this is an “unspoken” conspiracy. After Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin dropped her bombshell, it’s not hard to imagine David Axelrod burning up a Bat Phone that connects directly to the JournOlist Hotline and denying the story completely — off the record, of course — you know, so that the denial won’t…make news.

To be fair, it’s entirely possible there’s more to the story than what’s being reported, or that the White House has a good answer. But there’s no question the only response thus far has been a preventive-defense cone of silence. This is not an issue Obama or his media pals want to litigate now, not even with denials. ***But in a moral world, the media would be demanding this matter be cleared up before people cast their votes.*** We just don’t live in that world.

We are of the understanding the people just aren’t going to take it anymore. The SLEEPING GIANT HAS RISEN! saying:

“Our Intel & SpecOps community are refusing to be thrown under the OBAMA 2012 bus, the next “big” headline will make Fast & Furious pale in comparison,” Americans died hiding Obama gun running to al-Quada. We don’t need the LameStreamMedia™ anymore, thanks to Breitbart and FOX NEWS, we’re all “Big” now.”

Media Blackout?

We have a remedy. As Old fashioned and primitive as it is, IT WORKS!

If you are increasingly upset over the Mainstream Media’s refusal to honestly cover the Benghazi Massacre and cover-up in order to insulate Barack Obama and his failed administration from rightful blame, for the deaths of four Americans, I urge you now to let your feelings be known by those who control the networks.

Clare Lopez was a guest on the Glenn Beck TV on Monday evening and told Beck, “They let our ambassador and others die. In real time, watching it happen, and they didn’t do anything about it.”

Obama and Jarret BOTH knew Ambassador Stevens was in serious peril and needed HELP. Multiple requests for HELP by Ambassador Stevens while under attack were denied by Jarret and Obama. CIA personnel were ordered to STAND DOWN NOT ONCE but SEVERAL TIMES by Obama and Jarret.

EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request to help during Benghazi attack, sources say

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command meaning, the President– who also told the CIA operators twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11..

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand down.”

Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.

At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.

CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood claims that requests for support were turned down by the White House.
“We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi,” she said. “Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night-and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades.”

The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

Watch “Special Report Investigates: Benghazi — New Revelations” on Fox News at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, 3 p.m. on Sunday and 10 p.m. on Sunday.

A Special Operations team, or CIF which stands for Commanders in Extremis Force, operating in Central Europe had been moved to Sigonella, Italy, but they were never told to deploy. In fact, a Pentagon official says there were never any requests to deploy assets from outside the country. A second force that specializes in counterterrorism rescues was on hand at Sigonella, according to senior military and intelligence sources. According to those sources, they could have flown to Benghazi in less than two hours. They were the same distance to Benghazi as those that were sent from Tripoli. Spectre gunships are commonly used by the Special Operations community to provide close air support.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday that there was not a clear enough picture of what was occurring on the ground in Benghazi to send help.
“There’s a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking going on here,” Panetta said Thursday. “But the basic principle here … is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on.”

U.S. officials argue that there was a period of several hours when the fighting stopped before the mortars were fired at the annex, leading officials to believe the attack was over.

Fox News has learned that there were two military surveillance drones redirected to Benghazi shortly after the attack on the consulate began. They were already in the vicinity. The second surveillance craft was sent to relieve the first drone, perhaps due to fuel issues. Both were capable of sending real time visuals back to U.S. officials in Washington, D.C. Any U.S. official or agency with the proper clearance, including the White House Situation Room, State Department, CIA, Pentagon and others, could call up that video in real time on their computers.

Tyrone Woods was later joined at the scene by fellow former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, who was sent in from Tripoli as part of a Global Response Staff or GRS that provides security to CIA case officers and provides countersurveillance and surveillance protection. They were killed by a mortar shell at 4 a.m. Libyan time, nearly seven hours after the attack on the consulate began — a window that represented more than enough time for the U.S. military to send back-up from nearby bases in Europe, according to sources familiar with Special Operations. Four mortars were fired at the annex. The first one struck outside the annex. Three more hit the annex.

A motorcade of dozens of Libyan vehicles, some mounted with 50 caliber machine guns, belonging to the February 17th Brigades, a Libyan militia which is friendly to the U.S., finally showed up at the CIA annex at approximately 3 a.m. An American Quick Reaction Force sent from Tripoli had arrived at the Benghazi airport at 2 a.m. (four hours after the initial attack on the consulate) and was delayed for 45 minutes at the airport because they could not at first get transportation, allegedly due to confusion among Libyan militias who were supposed to escort them to the annex, according to Benghazi sources.

The American special operators, Woods, Doherty and at least two others were part of the Global Response Staff, a CIA element, based at the CIA annex and were protecting CIA operators who were part of a mission to track and repurchase arms in Benghazi that had proliferated in the wake of Muammar Qaddafi’s fall. Part of their mission was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft. According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.  FOX NEWS

“Secretary Clinton asked for more security in Benghazi, Obama said NO” Video

Last night, it was revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ordered more security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi before it was attacked where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were murdered by Al-Qaeda but President Obama denied the request.

The news broke on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” hosted by Andrew Wilkow, by best-selling author, Ed Klein who said the legal counsel to Clinton had informed him of this information.

Klein also said that those same sources said that former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife [Hillary] to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.

Klein explained that everyone knew what was happening in Benghazi from the CIA to the National Security Agency and that there’s intelligence cables that have not been released.

Wilkow asked, “If everybody knew this including the White House, who would have given the order to go in and save the ambassador?”

Klein, “The President…he should have given the order to use the rapid reaction force…”

Wilkow, “Not Petraeus?”

Klein, “Well it has to come from the president.”

Wilkow also asked Klein about Valerie Jarrett who’s the Senior Advisor to Obama and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, and her role in this cover-up.

Klein said, “We don’t know but we can only assume that every action that the president takes, and he said so, he is on the record saying “I don’t take any actions without passing it by Valerie Jarrett”… so we have to assume that Valerie Jarrett whose also by the way, hooked into the Chicago campaign line…she has a direct line to David Axlerod, was a part of this whole cover-up in the White House.”

This latest news comes on the heels when the Paulding County Republican Examiner reported that former CIA officer, Clare Lopez was a guest on the Glenn Beck TV on Monday evening and told Beck, “They let our ambassador and others die. In real time, watching it happen, and they didn’t do anything about it.” The Examiner

……………………………………

BENGHAZI is Obama’s Waterloo.. “They stood, and they watched, as our people DIED.”

Contradictory remarks from a former CIA commander regarding the Benghazi Massacre appears to confirm the repeated LIE told to the American public by the Obama administration regarding what really happened. And everyday, the picture of what the Obama administration did while the attack was happening begins to clarify and focus on Obama’s actions.

Report: U.S. Had Predator Drone Over Benghazi As Attack Happened, “They Stood And They Watched And Our People Died”…

……………………………………………………………….

So, What This Means… IS.. While our Ambassador and 3 Brave men affording undirected security by any authority to Chris Stevens; the Obama White House ALWAYS had the capability for defending the Ambassador from the armed assault on his residence with the use of UNMANNED DRONES. Instead the Obama White House STOOD AND WATCHED via a surveillance drone for over 6 hrs as the terrorist assault overpowered the embassy and his security team until they were SURE they all were dead..

The question is WHY did Obama want HIS TARGET, Ambassador CHRIS STEVENS, dead? What did Chris Stevens know that Obama was afraid he would reveal to the World? Was it something SO damaging to Obama, he was afraid if Stevens went public with his revelation, it would end up causing OBAMA to LOSE THE ELECTION?

WHAT OBAMA HAS DONE… IS CONTINUE TO MUDDY THE WATERS WITH LIES AND SPIN TO CONFUSE AND DISTRACT FROM THE TRUTH!

Obama did NOTHING to HELP SAVE the lives of our Americans in Benghazi… when he had the POWER to DO SO!

Obama Calls Romney ‘A Bull******* ‘

by Michael Patrick Leahy 25 Oct 2012

Politico reported on Thursday that President Obama recently displayed his idea of “the new civility” in an interview with historian Douglas Brinkley for Rolling Stone:

FIRST LOOK – Rolling Stone cover, “Obama and the Road Ahead: The Rolling Stone Interview,” by Douglas Brinkley: “We arrived at the Oval Office for our 45-minute interview … on the morning of October 11th. … As we left the Oval Office, executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president. … [S]he said, ‘Tell him: You can do it.’ Obama grinned. … ‘You know, kids have good instincts,’ Obama offered.

‘They look at the other guy and say, “Well, that’s a bullshitter, I can tell.”(emphasis added)

After four years of privately insulting his opponents, President Obama has decided it’s time to share his real approach to “cooperation” with the voting public just days before the election. Undecided voters are certain to notice the President’s demeanor. It’s a preview of the style and tone he’s likely to display if he were to be elected to a second term.   LINK

……………………………………………..

WILL TONIGHT’s DEBATE Help or Hurt Obama or Romney?

As president, you would have thought Obama would have laid out his vision for America by now? Obama has been campaigning for almost a year and has not mentioned any plans pertaining to the future of America. Perhaps, his campaign promises are coming back to haunt him by people who believed he was a man of his word and found out too late he wasn’t. Right now Obama’s word is looking pretty worthless to a country still ruminating within the straits of pain and austerity with no hope of any significant changes coming soon that will belie that fact. If anything, January 2013 will be a date to remember when a new Federal Tax is levied on services never taxed before. Taking Americans by surprise when they pick up their Dry Cleaning, have a tooth filled or any dental work for that matter advanced by a dentist, have their hair cut and styled by a barber or a hairdresser taxed with a Federal Excise tax on many non-taxable items including food, clothing and home heating oil.

That is if America continues in denial thinking Obama is actually going to do an about face helping Americans rather than nickle diming them to death with new Taxes and restrictive Work related regulations.

Unless a change of the presidency comes about 2 weeks from now.. we are doomed to suffer under the dictatorial hand of a disengaged president who cares only about himself, his family and his donors. As long as the flow of money is going north into Obama’s treasury, you can forget hoping for a change unless you agree voting for Romney is the better choice in this election.

Gallup: Romney Holds Steady +7 Lead

Today’s tracking poll from Gallup confirms that Romney has opened a consistent, and significant, lead in the race against President Obama. After dipping a point yesterday, the poll finds Romney again leading Obama by 7 points among likely voters, 52-45. Romney even leads by 3-points among registered voters, a sample which gives Democrats an advantage. The Gallup poll has been remarkably steady since Romney surged into the lead.

 
Significantly, most of this poll was conducted after Tuesday’s second presidential debate. Obama was more energetic in that debate. It would have been just about impossible to not be, but the performance hasn’t translated into any kind of bounce in polling for Obama. While he didn’t “lose” this week’s debate, he certainly hasn’t done anything to arrest his erosion in the polls.

A month ago, baseball statistician Nate Silver bragged that Gallup had correctly predicted 18 of the last 20 elections. Of course, Obama was leading the Gallup poll then. Now that Gallup shows Romney with a solid lead, Silver and the rest of the left are hell-bent on attacking Gallup’s credibility. In fact, in a textbook case of confirmation bias, Silver has greeted Romney’s rise in the Gallup poll by arguing that Obama’s chances of reelection have increased. Apparently, Romney’s rise in the polls is dooming his campaign.

Even if we allow that Gallup is overstating Romney’s lead, their results are consistent with virtually all other polling. State-level polling shows him maintaining solid leads in battlegrounds like North Carolina and Florida, tied or marginally ahead in Virginia, Colorado, New Hampshire and Iowa, and narrowing the gap in all the other swing states.

Other national polls that don’t use ridiculous turnout models all point to Romney edging Obama with just over two weeks to go.

The technical term for this is momentum. Romney’s campaign has all the hallmarks of a campaign that is surging at exactly the right, critical moment. While the Obama campaign obsesses over Big Bird, binders and word-games with Romney’s name, Romney has honed a substantive message that fits the times and resonates with voters.

Obama needs something very big to save his reelection. Time is running out. LINK

When Americans Are Murdered Obama Calls It “Not Optimal”

Likely the most bizarre and detached responses by a national politician to a terrorist attack and resulting loss of life EVER. Four Americans killed. The first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty in 35 years. Blood stained walls, explosions, gunfire, followed by denial, confusion, and a now ongoing cover up by the Obama administration and the President of the United States simply refers to all of that as “not optimal.” Obama then goes on to say he’ll “fix” the deaths of four Americans? How does one “fix” the fact somebody has died? Does Barack Obama now believe himself capable of bringing back the dead?

(Apparently, nothing makes Barack Obama smile like the opportunity to speak about dead Americans…)

EXCERPT:

‘If four Americans get killed, it’s not OPTIMAL’: Obama’s extraordinary response to Comedy Central question about shifting story after Benghazi attack

President Barack Obama, during an interview to be shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question about his administration’s confused communication after the Benghazi attack, by saying: ‘If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.

Stewart asked: ‘Is part of the investigation helping the communication between these divisions? ’Not just what happened in Benghazi, but what happened within.

‘Because I would say, even you would admit, it was not the optimal response, at least to the American people, as far as all of us being on the same page.’

Obama responded: ‘Here’s what I’ll say. If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.’

He continued: ‘We’re going to fix it. All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up.

Mother of Slain Diplomat To Obama – ” My Son Is Not Very Optimal – My Son Is Very Dead “

A clearly angry and disappointed mother of slain U.S. diplomat Sean Smith killed during a terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, fires back at Barack Obama’s remarks made on Comedy Central where he referred to the deaths of four Americans as “not optimal.”

EXCERPT:

The mother of an American diplomat killed during a terrorist raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has hit out at Barack Obama for describing the attack as ‘not optimal’, saying: ‘My son is not very optimal – he is also very dead.’

During an interview shown on Comedy Central, Obama responded to a question about his administration’s confused communication after the assault by saying: ‘If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.’

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline today, Pat Smith, whose son Sean died in the raid, said: ‘It was a disrespectful thing to say and I don’t think it’s right.

‘How can you say somebody being killed is not very optimal? I don’t think the President has the right idea of the English language.’

How U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens May Have Been Linked to Jihadist Rebels in Syria (And It Involves Weapons)

Hillary Clinton is not a doormat for Obama…

Hillary Clinton is far from being a doormat for anyone.

“First Bill humiliates her and now Obama does.. Hillary no feminist, more like doormat.” That’s what The Post’s Jennifer Rubin tweeted Monday.

Hillary Clinton attends a news conference in Lima, Peru.

Would anyone say that about a male secretary of state?    Very likely, no. If a man stood up and took responsibility for a failure in his department, he would be admired as handling the problem with a tough-as-nails manner. They would say a male secretary of state “manned up.”

Instead, conservatives are saying Obama should have manned up and Hillary should have stood down. That’s because conservatives want to make this an issue of gender when it clearly is not.

Take Sherman Frederick, who wrote in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that President Obama was hiding behind Hillary’s skirt. That echoes another tweet by Rubin. David Axelrod, an Obama adviser, tweeted to Rubin: “Sick. Mitt mouthpiece jumps shark.” Rubin replied: “so is Obama going to hide behind her skirt Tuesday night? Why would the president let Hillary end her career in disgrace?”

Then Rush Limbaugh opened his mouth Tuesday. He mimicked Rubin’s sentiments, saying, “The woman is a doormat, not a feminist leader. It’s the most amazing thing.” Of course, Limbaugh had to revisit Bill Clinton’s past sexual indiscretions against Hillary.

This shouldn’t be a psychosexual drama about how Hillary is strong and covered for Obama in an election year and Obama is a weakling who won’t take responsibility. It’s far from that.

Realistically, the federal government is massive.  Obama is obviously not overseeing the daily details in every department like state or micromanaging every embassy and diplomatic post on the planet. That’s why he appoints strong, intelligent people like Hillary.

Hillary said in the CNN interview Monday that she oversees the State Department, where information is often fluid. Within that department are security and intelligence officials who make decisions like whether a post in Libya needs more security.

Let’s be honest, though, Hillary can’t catch a break. When she was running against Obama for president, she was seen as an opportunist. Even her long-time admirer, the late writer Nora Ephron, said that many people thought back then that Hillary “will do anything to win, who believe she doesn’t really take a position unless it’s completely safe …”

Now that Hillary has taken an unsafe position on Libya, she is labeled an Obama administration scapegoat. The end to feminism does not arrive just because women now have power. It arrives when women are treated the same as men in the same position.

As one supporter in a forum dedicated to all things Hillary wrote: “She did not fall on her sword. She picked it up and lifted it over her head. She is going to get to the bottom of this. She has said so. It may appear to some that she has fallen on her sword, but that’s only because we see so rarely (except in her case) what she is exhibiting: real leadership.”

In 2007, Lakshmi Chaudhry wrote a story in The Nation quoting Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who said: “Put gender aside. Just treat her like you would any other candidate.” Perhaps we should take his words to heart now and treat her like any other secretary of state. WP- Suzie Parker

……………………………………

CNN: Clinton takes ‘full responsibility’ for security before Benghazi attack:

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan have  stepped up their criticism of the Obama administration’s actions before and since the attack, suggesting that the officials have not been transparent with the public about the incident, and more broadly arguing that it is evidence of a failed foreign policy strategy in the Middle East.

Hillary takes responsibility for Libya but Obama’s terror policy is real problem

One of the most telling questions of the second town hall presidential debate was on Libya.

An audience member said he and his buddies had gotten together and wanted to know, “Who was it who denied enhanced security in Libya, and why?” The president dodged the question with lots of references about how no one wants the answer to that question, or cares more than he does, but in the end he didn’t answer the question.

Now you have to ask WHY?

Okay, it’s a cover up. But thanks to Secretary of State Clinton’s willingness to take the blame, it’s a coverup that’s succeeded….so far. And for the Obama administration, that’s good enough, as long as the “so far” extends to Election Day.

The mainstream media, like an overindulgent parent, believes the Obama administration’s excuses, and most people don’t care what happens half a world away when they don’t have jobs at home. Plus, as Secretary Clinton says, there is such a “fog of war” that we’re not sure what happened, never mind that the fog was deliberately created by the Obama administration’s own fog machine.

Looks like the Obama administration has gotten away with it.

But the real problem isn’t the intelligence failures, or security lapses or even the cover up. It’s the policy. Al Qaeda is NOT “on its heels,” as President Obama claimed at the Democratic Convention just five days before the Benghazi attack. Al Qaeda is larger and stronger than ever, and has moved into whole new regions in North Africa and the Middle East. The Benghazi attack was only the beginning.

Al Qaeda’s trademark is to have an escalating series of attacks until they are stopped in their tracks. They watch to see our reaction after each attack and, if we fail to retaliate, they do something even bolder the next time.

The Benghazi attack on September 11 was preceded by car bombs and assaults against British and American facilities in Benghazi throughout the summer. The September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City was preceded by attacks on the USS Cole in Yemen, and US embassies in Africa the year before, and failed attack on the Twin Towers a decade before.

Compare that to Ronald Reagan’s reaction when Col. Qaddafi bombed a Berlin nightclub frequented by American servicemen in 1986. American soldiers were died and injured as a result. Reagan’s reaction? He bombed Qaddafi’s compound a week later. Qaddafi escaped injury, but he got the point. Don’t mess with America.

If you’re Al Qaeda how are you looking at the Benghazi attack? From your point of view it was an unqualified success – the Americans are now fighting amongst themselves, they’ve set up a commission to study what happened, and while they’re rattling a few sabers, they have yet to retaliate.

If you’re Al Qaeda you keep going. And what could be bigger and better than a dead American ambassador? FOX NEWS

Romney at Bat Looking for the Grand Slam… Obama batting ZERO in the 9th…

Obama could drive ‘a stake through his own heart’ in do-or-die debate against Romney tonight.Romney aide says tonight’s debate at Hofstra University, New York, could deal decisive blow to Obama’s re-election hopes. Obama has to turn the tide of momentum that Romney has built up following his stunning victory in first debate in Denver. Remains to be seen who will play better in more intimate ‘town hall’ format where audience fires questions at them.

‘ RACE FOR AMERICA’

by Tellurian

“WHO will make it through tonight as far as contests go;
The winner is a toss up, the game has more to show.
We shall hear the whys and wherefores of answers far too long;
Thankful for a timekeeper handy with a gong.”

“We are hoping for a fresh face with ideas for a new start;
We’ve tried the ‘Hope and Change’ and deemed it not too smart.
So off we go wondering what is in store to be our fate;
A Love for America hangs in the balance, we hope it’s not too late..”

The Romney campaign goes into tonight’s second presidential debate confident that the race has shifted decisively in their direction and that a below par performance by Barack Obama could doom him to defeat on November 6.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

A senior adviser to Mitt Romney told MailOnline: ‘The President could drive a stake through the heart of his own campaign tonight if he’s not careful.

‘If he doesn’t give a vigorous enough defence of his last four years in office, if he tries to place blame everywhere else, if he doesn’t articulate what the next four years will look like beyond just giving away free stuff – if he fumbles all that, he drives a stake through his own heart.’

‘Can Romney connect? Can Barack Obama connect for that matter? Because at the end of the day Barack Obama is not the kind of communicator Bill Clinton was in that kind of format. Is he better at it than Mitt Romney. That’s the real question.

He added: ‘The stakes are huge for Obama. He has to stem the tide here with Mitt Romney in those swing states. He has to make a direct connection to voters but he also has to point out ideological differences and inconsistencies in Romney’s campaign message without seeming churlish or argumentative.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

‘If Obama doesn’t connect with people it’ll be two debates in a row where he’s seemed disengaged or not ready to fight and think about the challenges ahead.’

Brabdender added on MSNBC that Romney’s 19 primary debates had helped him prevail against Obama, who before Denver had not debated since 2008.

‘I would argue that he [Romney] is better than the President today because having gone through and debated Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.

‘What he’s also learned to do is to be more personable and tell a narrative, not just feel like he’s answering the question and not feel like this is about who’s the smartest kid in the class. This is about having a rapport with the people that are watching and having them believe and respect you and he’s become much better at that.’

Foggy Bottom vs. Chicago… Put your money on Foggy Bottom!!

Hillary Strikes Back: Attaches U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to Obama White House Propaganda Messaging…

The Clinton’s are clearly on a divergent path than President Obama.   Hillary just Judo’d Obama in this informative article posted in the UK Daily Mail.

In this report Secretary Clinton separates U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice from her State Department, and instead says that Rice was selling the message, and following orders, from the White House, not from the State Department.   President Obama made Susan Rice (UN Ambassador)  a cabinet level position – not part of State Dept.

Hillary goes on to say that THEY (State Department) NEVER felt it was a video movie that caused the Benghazi attack:

The State Department’s insistence it never bought the story – expressed by the White House and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – that a crude anti-Islam film made in California triggered the attack gives ammunition against Obama both to the Romney campaign and congressional Republicans.

State Department sources have said that Clinton has never forgotten that Rice, who served in her husband Bill’s administration, was an early supporter of Obama. Rice has ambitions to take over from Clinton if  Obama is re-elected but the Benghazi debacle could scupper her chances.

In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department officials said ‘others’ in the executive branch concluded initially that the attack was part of a protest against the film, which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad. That was never the State Department’s conclusion, reporters were told.   (read more)

What Hillary will have to answer for now is why “she”, as an individual, was repeating the storyline -up to and including Pakistani commercials- about a U-Tube video.   Which is an informational error because yes, Hillary denounced the video for it’s disrespect to Islam but NEVER said it was the genesis of a protest or the attack on the consulate in Benghazi or justified the death of four Americans including the US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens.

@SheriefSfarid We’ve never heard of this movie, what is it?—
US Embassy Cairo (@USEmbassyCairo) September 09, 2012

THEN THIS:

The article   also lists the blow-by-blow account of what actually took place in Benghazi.  It is a must read:

It appears the report of the supportive CIA report is BOGUS, yet it was spread in various news sources as factual support for the White House assertion by Susan Rice.  Remember, with Obama  he changed the status of UN Ambassador to “Cabinet Level“;  Meaning SUSAN RICE Reports TO OBAMA NOT HILLARY.

Follow Closely!

The White House sent Susan Rice out to sell a story of a video/movie.   To support the assertion a bogus AP report was formulated saying that CIA intelligence apparatus had provided the same information.   But it doesn’t exist.

To the contrary the entire intelligence apparatus, sans OUR MAN CLAPPER, has said there was no intelligence even alluding to a movie, a protest, or an impetus of a movie spurred protest in either Cairo (at the embassy) or Benghazi (at the consulate).

On Friday September 28th James Clapper provided the White House with cover and plausible deniability when he said:

WASHINGTON DC – Extremists from groups linked to al Qaida struck the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in a “deliberate and organized terrorist attack,” the top U.S. intelligence agency said Friday, as it took responsibility for the Obama administration’s initial claims that the deadly assault grew from a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video.

The unusual statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence appeared to have two goals: updating the public on the latest findings of the investigation into the assault, and SHIELDING the WHITE HOUSE from a POLITICAL BACKLASH OVER its ORIGINAL ACCOUNTS.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which coordinates and sets policies for the 16 other U.S. intelligence agencies, is led by retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in August 2010.   (link)

KEEP FOLLOWING:

So the WHITE HOUSE  trotted out Susan Rice to SELL a FALSE STORY, unbeknownst to Hillary Clinton, who was then told to toe-the-line and WAIT..   To provide elbow room, and cover for the White House, a bogus AP report mentioning the CIA was seeded to, and picked up by, the press thereby providing enough space and time to coordinate with James Clapper, so that he could arrange a bogus intelligence mistake story to back them up.

All of this before the “discovery” of U.S. officials on the ground in Libya asking for more security help.   Which, unfortunately for the White House, became a bigger story than the FALSE “movie” explanation.

The failure to provide the requested security creates the White House back in a position of blaming the State Dept.   The same State Dept who was providing cover for the false “movie” explanation.

Hence the ping-pong ball back and forth.

While Hillary might have been willing to STAND SILENT for the White House movie story’s “EXPLANATION”  by the WH under the guise of faulty intelligence, which she did diligently, she ain’t gonna take being thrown under the bus for the lack of security protection.

Hillary was SMART waiting until the  “movie” fiasco would be DEBUNKED.   But now that the narrative, and attention, has switched to the PERSONAL SECURITY ISSUE of FOUR AMERICANS,  she isn’t about to TAKE the BLAME for something she was NEVER part of to BEGIN with.
……………………………………….

So who were these “Senior Administration Officials” who spoke to CNN on 9/13 and placed the blame on the U-tube video ? Find that out, and we will have a better understanding of “why” they felt it necessary to create a false story.

…… And someone needs to explain this contradictory excerpt from the Daily Mail story:

[…] A concurrent CIA memo obtained by The Associated Press cited intelligence suggesting the demonstrations in Benghazi ‘were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo’ and ‘evolved into a direct assault’ on the diplomatic posts by ‘extremists’. (link)

Oddly the USA Today picked up the same excerpt:

The AP reports Wednesday that a concurrent CIA memo obtained by the news agency cited intelligence suggesting the demonstrations in Benghazi “were spontaneously
inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo” and “evolved into a direct assault” on the diplomatic posts by “extremists.” (link)

“How did the jihadists know in advance, long enough to plan for the attack, that Stevens would be in Benghazi that night?”

MORE PROOF OBAMA IS LYING:

“Fox News’ Catherine Herridge told Megyn Kelly that the night Ambassador Chris Stevens died, someone heard someone say “we got him,” meaning a successful assassination of Stevens.

One of the American diplomats killed Tuesday in a bloody attack on a Libyan Consulate told pals in an online gaming forum hours earlier that he’d seen suspicious people taking pictures outside his compound and wondered if he and his team might “die tonight.”

But hours before the bloody assault, Smith sent a message to Alex Gianturco, the director of “Goonswarm,” Smith’s online gaming team or “guild.”

“Assuming we don’t die tonight,” the message, which was first reported by Wired, read. “We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.” Source

After Herridge’s report, I see that someone in the administration is already debunking it. Obama has everything to lose over this. He has made a major mistake by immediately blaming Americans FOR offending Muslims. It was known to be a lie early on, but he latched on anyway. US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, beclowns herself (again) read more here.

CHRIS WALLACE: Terrorist cells in Benghazi had carried out 5 attacks since April, including one at this same Consulate in June. Should US Security have been tighter at that Consulate, given the history of terrorist activity in Benghazi? SUSAN RICE: We obviously did have a strong security presence and unfortunately two of the FOUR Americans who died in Benghazi were there to provide security, but it obviously wasn’t sufficient in the circumstances to prevent the overrun of the Consulate. See the video here.

Memo to Ms. Rice: The “circumstances” were the anniversary of 9-11-01 on 9-11-12. It’s reasonable to ask why Sean Smith did not mention people gathering outside the compound jabbering about a movie. Online reports say in the past, while chatting in the online forum, he had typed “incoming” and disappeared for awhile, meaning they were being fired upon. Maybe there was no hint of what was to come. It seems more likely from latest reports that firepower came from two directions, fast and powerful, and we know now, inescapable.

Herridge said the consulate came under fire from two different locations and in two waves, with the attackers using rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. Source: Fox News Insider

Considering that Smith had indicated the Compound has been fired on in the past, how can we possibly think two Americans serving as security inside the compound could be sufficient, when the outside of the compound was “protected” by Libyans who abandoned the property under heavy fire.

Remember that NBC quoted the Libyan President in their own video, saying the film had nothing to do with the attack. The accompanying article that went along with the video eliminated the quote, and the President actually saying the words was eliminated it in the video, but it was clearly quoted at the very beginning of the video by the narrator. Slick and slimy media using public airways to “fundamentally transform America.”

Obama White House Sharpens Blade Upon The Neck Of Clinton State Department

A highly defensive and finger pointing David Axelrod pushed off claims President Obama knew the real story of the Benghazi Massacre before the president and his administration repeatedly told the American people and members of Congress otherwise. The question now appears to be who within the State Department will be given up as the sacrificial lamb – all in the effort to insulate Barack Obama himself from any and all responsibility for the deaths of four Americans – including the first U.S. ambassador to be killed since the Carter administration.

During on interview with Fox News this morning, Axelrod first further defined what Vice President Joe Biden said earlier this week when remarking “we didn’t know they wanted more security” – a reference to multiple requests by American Benghazi personnel asking for enhanced security measures to be implemented in the months and weeks prior to the Benghazi Massacre on September 11th. Those requests were either refused or ignored by the Obama administration. Regarding that point, David Axelrod made it clear the blame is to be placed upon the State Department and not the Obama White House itself:

“These were judgments that were made by security folks at the State Department.”

UM:
I await information from inside sources regarding the current relationship between the Clintons and Team Obama. Surely this relationship is far more divisive and untrusting than just a few weeks ago.

Biden contradicts State Department on Benghazi security

Vice President Joe Biden claimed that the administration wasn’t aware of requests for more security in Libya before the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi during Thursday night’s debate, contradicting two State Department officials and the former head of diplomatic security in Libya.

 

 

“We weren’t told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there,” Biden said.

In fact, two security officials who worked for the State Department in Libya at the time testified Thursday that they repeatedly requested more security and two State Department officials admitted they had denied those requests.

“All of us at post were in sync that we wanted these resources,” the top regional security officer in Libya over the summer, Eric Nordstrom, testified. “In those conversations, I was specifically told [by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb] ‘You cannot request an SST extension.’ I determined I was told that because there would be too much political cost. We went ahead and requested it anyway.”

Nordstrom was so critical of the State Department’s reluctance to respond to his calls for more security that he said, “For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building.”

Which Joe Is Going to Show Up Tonight?

EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION- I DO NOT BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHICH JOE WILL SHOW UP TONIGHT?

So off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder Flying High Into the Sky… by the Seat of our Pants..

Every Blog I’ve looked at today has ALL the basics pretty well down- All repeating everything we already know.. We have the “Joe of Many Faces”.. Will we get the gaff-prone “Sloppy Joe” or the Smart Constitutional Professor Joe? I don’t know.- “Tell Me it Ain’t So”.. Joe!

THE CONTENDERS

I hear good things about Paul Ryan’s ability to think clearly and logically. What His Colleagues Say: “He Wins [You ] Over By Reason” Will this be Joe’s Achilles Heel?  Stumping Joe before he’s out of the Gate?

Well here’s what they advising Joe to do. You discern and decide.

“If One Were Joe Biden, ‘I’d Be Hiding Under My Bed’”

Republican political communication is like a game of patty-cake compared to the Democrats’ brass-knuckles approach, but this presidential campaign should be easier. Republicans merely need to transmit the truth about Barack Obama — and tonight, Ryan may just do that. Let’s hope.

Perhaps the most effective seed to plant in voters’ minds this year is “You have the power to overrule the Supreme Court on Obama-Care.” The debate platform would be an opportune place to drop this bomb because most people forget the real power does not lie with politicians, it lies with the People. It’s “USE IT” or “LOSE IT” Time..
So remember, Use what you learn tonight objectively and subjectively when you go to the polls Nov. 6th..

Or run the Risk of Losing IT.. For Real this time.

I hear good news Romney in Florida is leading Obama by 7pts.. will it hold after tonight if Ryan does poorly?
Only the HAND knows for sure….

Oh-OK.. Here are a few fact refreshers to compare and contrast between the candidates from THE HILL

A pocket edition of a Cheat Sheet…

WHAT IF: Obama deems there is NO actionable intelligence on a planned attack in the US?

WHAT THEN?

Do we just chalk up Obama’s negligence to “poor judgement” on his part? WHAT IF- Major cites: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Dallas and Orlando are HIT simultaneously in a well planned Terror Attack similar to Benghazi?

Obama has a history of poor decision making. His debate performance a few weeks ago can attest to that- Can we really afford taking another chance on Obama for the next four years? I VOTE NO.. He is TOO great a RISK to the Safety and Welfare of Americans. A Risk America CANNOT AFFORD to take. The proof lies squarely in our faces. Four Americans DEAD in Benghazi. Victims of Obama’s POOR Judgment.

This video below has the questions YOU may think too incredulous to ASK:

 

“US  ‘had no warning’ of attack on Benghazi consulate.”

The US consulate in flames in Benghazi, Libya 11 September 2011. The Obama administration now describes the incident in Benghazi as a terrorist attack.

The US Department of State has said it had no “actionable intelligence” about plans for last month’s deadly attack on the American consulate in Libya.

The 11 September Benghazi assault, in which the ambassador and three others died, was unprecedented in recent diplomatic history, officials added.

The incident is politically sensitive, just weeks ahead of the US elections.

State department officials are due to testify before Congress on Wednesday about their handling of the attack.

The BBC’s Kim Ghattas in Washington says the detailed briefing appears to be an effort to preempt criticism the agency is expected to face from the panel.

The hearing is part of an investigation into the security situation in Benghazi leading up to the attack and is the first public inquiry on Capitol Hill into what went wrong.

The state department has launched its own internal review of events.

‘Security requests denied’

Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, initially described the attack as a “spontaneous” one that arose out of a protest against an inflammatory anti-Islam film.

But in Tuesday’s briefing, unnamed officials from the state department said it had never concluded that the sacking of the mission was motivated by the US-made video ridiculing Muslims.

“That was not our conclusion,” an official said.

They said it was instead a co-ordinated assault involving several groups of men armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades over an expanse of more than a mile.

“There was no actionable intelligence of any planned or imminent attack,” a top state department official said.

The official also told reporters: “It would be very, very hard to find a precedent for an attack like that in recent diplomatic history.”

In addition to two state department officials scheduled to give evidence on Wednesday, two security officers who were posted in Libya until recently are also expected to testify.

They have both said the Department of State denied requests for extra security.

One officer, Eric Nordstrom, has said in a document to the congressional committee that a state department official, Charlene Lamb, had wanted to keep the security presence in Benghazi “artificially low”.

Both are due to appear {today} on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

State department official Patrick Kennedy and Lt Col Andrew Wood, who was in charge of a security support team at the US embassy in Tripoli, will also give evidence.

As the 6 November presidential election looms, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has used the Libyan attack to criticize President Barack Obama. {TG}

In a speech on Monday, Mr Romney called the Benghazi incident an example of the Democratic president’s foreign policy weakness.

The Obama administration has said it provided its best intelligence on the attack, and amended that explanation as further information emerged.

Ambassador Christopher Stevens died of smoke inhalation when he was trapped alone in the burning consulate building. Three other officials were killed, and three wounded.

US consulate attack: Libyans react to Benghazi violence.

……………………………………………………..

 

Someone Has Finally Thrown Obama Under The Bus And Her Name Is Hillary Clinton

What other conclusions can one draw from this from the AP?

WASHINGTON — The State Department said Tuesday it never concluded that the consulate attack in Libya stemmed from protests over an American-made video ridiculing Islam, raising further questions about why the Obama administration used that explanation for more than a week after assailants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

The revelation came as new documents suggested internal disagreement over appropriate levels of security before the attack, which occurred on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the U.S.

Briefing reporters ahead of a hotly anticipated congressional hearing Wednesday, State Department officials provided their most detailed rundown of how a peaceful day in Benghazi devolved into a sustained attack that involved multiple groups of men armed with weapons such as machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars over an expanse of more than a mile.

But asked about the administration’s initial — and since retracted — explanation linking the violence to protests over an anti-Muslim video circulating on the Internet, one official said, “That was not our conclusion.” He called it a question for “others” to answer, without specifying. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter, and provided no evidence that might suggest a case of spontaneous violence or angry protests that went too far.

Just as a reminder the Obama administration couldn’t get its story squared with the facts for well over a week. The Heritage Foundation put out this helpful video essay of the administration’s cover up on the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.

Barack Obama’s Illegal Foreign Campaign Money Loophole

In 2008, the FCC in it’s reluctance to audit Obama campaign donations because…. {wait for it-} “The cost for the audit would be TOO prohibitive.”  Is facing the same predicament this election cycle. John McCain allocated several million paying for the audit of his campaign donations. Besides Mr. Obama given a substantial PASS accounting for the donors submitting small $10 and $20 dollar donations; here we are once again, dealing with what looks like Obama’s donation total nearing a billion dollars subject to audit for this campaign. Can we guess what will be the excuse this election cycle?  Something redeemable by FCC standards, I’m sure.

 

 

A new report obtained by Townhall from the non-partisan Government Accountability Institute [GAI] shows the Obama campaign has potentially violated federal election law by failing to prevent the use of fraudulent or foreign credit card transactions on the official Obama for America [OFA] donation webpage.

…Because of the lack of a CVV code requirement, the door is opened for OFA to accept robo-donations, or in other words, large numbers of small and automatic donations made online to evade FEC reporting requirements. Although it isn’t illegal to decline the use of a secure CVV credit card code for campaign donations, it is illegal to accept campaign donations from foreign sources.

…A large part of the Team Obama operation is outsourced. More than 200 domain names with the word “Obama” in the web address have been purchased. The most significant of these websites may be Obama.com, which is owned by an Obama bundler in Shanghai, China with “questionable business ties to state-run Chinese enterprises,” according to the report.

… Attorney Kenneth Sukhia analyzed the GAI’s findings and this revelation in the following way in a separate report:

“Because a campaign’s decision to opt out of the standard security measures and to pay more to receive less information about their contributors defies all conventional campaign logic, and because it is difficult to identify a more plausible motive, there is reason to suspect that such decisions may be motivated by the belief that more money could be raised through foreign contributions than lost in added fees by declining security tools designed to stop them.”

…As reported over the weekend, the Obama campaign raised $181 million in September alone–only 2 percent of those donations are required to be reported to the FEC.

….Although GAI’s findings were most prominent with “Obama for America”, the “CCV loophole” is a problem across the political spectrum. The report found nearly half of Congress is at least vulnerable to fraud and foreign donations.

…Obama for America did not return calls for comment.

Team Obama Blames John Kerry for Debate Loss… BREAKING: CIA Turns on Obama

It’s always easier when you know what the game is.. when it’s being played on you!

The Obama campaign has been reeling since losing the first Presidential debate of this election cycle in front of 67 million viewers.  They’ve tried–and thus far failed–to craft a narrative to explain away the debacle in Denver.  Previously, we reported to you that Obama Senior Advisor David Plouffe, who ran the President’s successful 2008 campaign, (falsely) accused Mitt Romney of lying.  In a rare comedic moment from the typically robotic former Vice President Al Gore, he suggested on Current TV that the Mile High City’s altitude was the reason Obama was low on energy and enthusiasm.

“Neither of those caught on with the mainstream pro-Obama media”.

Now the Obama Administration is floating their latest excuse: that the campaign, particularly Romney stand-in John Kerry, did not channel Mitt’s aggression enough.

From CBS’s “This Morning”:

Norah O’Donnell: “Some Democrats say [Obama’s] campaign needs a wake-up call.  Bill Plante is here with that part of the story.  Bill, you’ve been talking to your sources; what are they saying?

Correspondent Bill Plante: “Well Norah, they’re simply upset and really outraged.  They blame the President’s team, first of all, for not preparing him to meet the challenge of an aggressive Mitt Romney.  They say that nobody in the room challenged him, including the guy that he was debating with, John Kerry, because, as they say, he wants to be Secretary of State so he’s not going to get in the President’s face. And Presidents are used to deference; they’re not used to people challenging them like that.  So they think that the debate prep was terrible, but they also fault the President himself for not understanding that Romney was going to be more aggressive.”

The 2012 Obama campaign continues to prove to be a stark contrast from their 2008 effort.  In 2008, then Senator Obama used youthful ebullience, soaring rhetoric, and a precise campaign infrastructure to capture the hearts and minds of the American people.  In 2012, the President seems increasingly lethargic and quick to make excuses for missteps on the campaign trail.

What once was “Hope and Change,” is now “Mope and Blame,” and this time it’s John Kerry under the President’s bus. LINK

Poor John Kerry- He’s been waiting patiently to slip into Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s shoes the minute she resigns from her Cabinet position..

We’ve been wondering ‘WHY’ Exit Polling will no longer be used this Election.

“Why the Networks Cut Exit Polls”

The networks and the Associated Press have an insidious plan to help President Obama on Election Day that is being swept under the rug: they are cutting nineteen states from the list of exit polls they will report. For twenty years, all 50 states have been reported, but somehow this year the networks and AP are ignoring 19 of them.  Now just how and why were those 19 states selected?

The ostensible reason given is the rising cost of the surveys. Dan Merkle, director of elections for ABC News, and a member of the consortium that runs the polls, said the goal “is to still deliver a quality product in the most important states.”

“So just which states are being ignored?  Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.”

The Washington Post tried to gloss over the scheme, noting “how carefully the exit poll planners allocated resources. All 19 of the states with no exit polls are classified as either “solid Obama” or “solid Romney.”

Really? Of the nineteen states (including Washington, D.C.) exactly 4 are for Obama, with a total of 14 electoral votes. The fifteen Romney states add up to 135.

It is utter hogwash that the exit polls were cut from these states because they were in the bag for one of the candidates. If Texas is cut, how about New York and California?

The real reason the consortium has cut these states is that they know that if they report fifteen states coming in for Romney early, independent voters in other states will take notice and be swayed his way.

There is no way that the networks and AP can rationalize their decision without damning themselves with their obvious partisanship. In 2008, the major media outlets were in the tank and lined up for Obama, but it was done under the radar. Now it’s all-encompassing. They are goose-stepping in public.

BREAKING: CIA Turns On Obama – Indicating Significant Cover-Up

Less than a month ago a United States ambassador and three other Americans were killed during a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. For days the Obama administration denied the attacks were terrorist related. Now intelligence figures from within the American government are letting it be known how the Obama White House has repeatedly ignored and then covered up information and events that put the safety and security of the United States in danger.

EXCERPT:

Revolt of the Spooks

Intelligence officials angered by Obama administration cover up of intelligence on Iranian, al Qaeda surge in Egypt and Libya

Weeks before the presidential election, President Barack Obama’s administration faces mounting opposition from within the ranks of U.S. intelligence agencies over what careerofficers say is a “cover up” of intelligence information about terrorism in North Africa.

Intelligence held back from senior officials and the public includes numerous classified reports revealing clear Iranian support for jihadists throughout the tumultuous North Africa and Middle East region, as well as notably widespread al Qaeda penetration into Egypt and Libya in the months before the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

…Intelligence officials pointed to the statement issued Sept. 28 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) that raised additional concern about the administration’s apparent mishandling of intelligence. The ODNI statement said that “in the immediate aftermath, there was information that led us to assess that the attack began spontaneously following protests earlier that day at our embassy in Cairo.”

Officials say the ODNI’s false information was either knowingly disseminated or was directed to be put out by senior policy officials for political reasons, since the statement was contradicted by numerous intelligence reports at the time of the attack indicating it was al Qaeda-related terrorism.

Officials with access to intelligence reports, based on both technical spying and human agents, said specific reporting revealed an alarming surge in clandestine al Qaeda activity months before the attack in Benghazi.

Yet the Obama administration sought to keep the information from becoming public to avoid exposing what the officials say is a Middle East policy failure by Obama.

…The first part of the apparent campaign, officials said, was the false information provided to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, who appeared on Sunday television shows after the attack to say the event was a “spontaneous” response to an anti-Muslim video trailer posted online.

Officials said Rice was given the false information to use in media appearances in order to promote the excuse that the obscure video was the cause of the attack, and not the Islamic concept of jihad.

“The Obama Administration is afraid to admit al Qaeda is running rampant throughout the region because it would expose the truth instead of what President Obama so pompously spouted during the Democratic Convention” said the official.

WSI: On Latest Obama Jobs Report: “Absolute Rubbish”

A longtime Wall Street power player makes clear the attempted October surprise jobs report by the Obama/Jarrett administration is a “fabrication built upon a fabrication” that proves just how desperate those who hope to keep Obama in power have now become.

“I note you have already created a response to this morning’s jobs report showing a reduction in the unemployment rate to 7.8%. Quite a significant drop. And quite a lie by this increasingly hysterical administration. Absolute rubbish in fact.”

As others have, or will note, the decrease comes primarily from a reduction in the overall workforce. This reduction has time and again been the sad foundation for earlier decreases in the unemployment rate during Jarrett’s reign over America. In this instance, nearly 350,000 people are no longer seeking work. As such, they are no longer being counted. So in essence, we have a report indicating a marginal job creation figure of just 114,000 while 350,000 have given up looking for work. That indicates 300% more Americans have given up than found employment during the month of September alone under the Jarrett administration. How easy then would it be, as our friend is so fond of saying, for them to “cook the books” by simply not counting hundreds of thousands of unemployed? Very easy indeed.

Unfortunately most have never heard of, nor understand the term U-6, a combination of both unemployed and underemployed. It is the U-6 that marks among the most depressing and heart-wrenching aspects of the last four years. That number remains at nearly 15% and shows no indication of improving despite this latest jobs report that is nothing more than a fabrication built upon a fabrication. Perhaps the media needs to acquaint more Americans with the U-6? And so they now will.

And so too shall there be a harder look into the machinations of the Jarrett Labor Department. Simply put, these numbers today don’t add up. I have personally reviewed them twice and something is amiss here. For them to be so open in their manipulations of data proves beyond a doubt their fear.

Do not concern yourself with this current distraction my friend. We remain resolute. This unemployment number is to be swept aside very soon. And I appreciate your willingness to remain near silent during this now very critical time. It likely has not been easy for you to do so.

Romney: Jobs growth not enough to re-elect Obama

WEYERS CAVE, Va. — The jobs picture improved in September, but Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said the fall in the nation’s jobless rate still is not enough to justify giving President Obama another term in office.

“This is not what a real recovery looks like,” Mr. Romney said in a statement, pointing to what he said was a downward trend of job-creation. “We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we’ve lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics‘ key jobs survey said the economy added 114,000 new jobs in September, and BLS said the unemployment rate dipped to 7.8 percent — a drop of three-tenths of a percent.

That means the rate is now back down to what it was in January 2009, when Mr. Obama took office, inheriting a recession from President George W. Bush.

BLS also revised July and August job numbers upward by a combined 86,000, suggesting a slightly better jobs picture over the summer than was reported at the time.

The jobs news comes just two days after Mr. Romney seemed to be gaining momentum from a strong debate performance.(…)

“If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11 percent,” Mr. Romney said in his statement. “The results of President Obama’s failed policies are staggering — 23 million Americans struggling for work, nearly one in six living in poverty, and 47 million people dependent on food stamps to feed themselves and their families. The choice in this election is clear. Under President Obama, we’ll get another four years like the last four years. If I’m elected, we will have a real recovery with pro-growth policies that will create 12 million new jobs and rising incomes for everyone.”

Debate night in Denver- The Black Knight vs The White Knight…

America is in dire need of an INTERVENTION….

My observation is this:  The mistake pundits, strategists and political bloggers make is expecting their advise suited to them projected onto a political candidate who is nothing like them. You have to understand human nature to understand why… the candidate isn’t listening. 

Here’s WHY-

By and large people are divided into 2 Groups: Predatory people and Prey people. My two best examples are Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.. Obama being the predatory candidate and Romney the prey candidate. A winning strategy will work for one but the same strategy WILL NOT work for the other.

Obama’s latest strategy is playing the humble self-effacing candidate. His words ring out as hollow as a carved-out Halloween pumpkin emanating a false toothy grin illuminated by a back light duplicitously enhancing the pumpkin’s message as well as pointing to it’s limited shelf life rotting from the inside knowing the demise of the orange vegetable is coming within days.

NOW ON TO THE CANDIDATES:

These are just some of the promises Obama made that will happen during his First Term:

Lets have a look at the campaign promises Obama made on the road in 08′. : I think everyone has lived it enough to know whether Obama is a ‘Man of His Word’ or a ‘Fast Talkin’ salesman once again begging us to believe him?

First on the Budget Deficit : Promising to streamline the budget in his FIRST TERM.

…………………………………………….

Next: Promising to reform entitlements in his FIRST TERM.

…………………………………………………

Promising to reform immigration  in his FIRST TERM…

…………………………………………………………

Here are some facts you ought to be aware of if Obama is re-elected:

90% of US Households Face Huge Tax Hikes Next Year 2013.

“On November 7th, while cleaning crews are still tidying up from election night parties, America’s political class will be hurling themselves into another essential battle over government spending, taxes and debt. On January 2nd, 2013, absent some kind of budget deal, America will fall off the “fiscal cliff” and face a massive tax increase and across the board cuts in government spending. Like most crisis these days, its a creation of politicians. “

“A new study from the Brookings Institution’s Tax Policy Center finds that the expiration of the Bush-ear tax cuts at the end of the year will hit Americans with a $500 billion tax hike. While liberal talking points suggest that only the wealthy received a tax cut under Bush, in fact every income group saw their taxes reduced. The rich got “more” tax cuts for the simple reason that they pay more in taxes. The expiration of the Bush tax cuts will hit everybody.

An average middle-class household — making between around $40,000 to $65,000 — would see an almost $2,000 tax hike next year, while those making under $20,000 a year would see their bill rise by an average of just over $400. Both groups would see their after-tax income drop by around four percent.  But households in the top 20 percent of earners would take a $14,000 hit, and those making a half million dollars or more a year — the top one percent of taxpayers — face an average $120,000 increase. That top one percent would see a more than 10 percent hit to their after-tax income.

“According to the study, almost 9 out of 10 households would see higher taxes. The economic impact is likely to be disastrous, as the economy is already teetering on the brink of recession.”
“Republicans are properly squeamish about calling their opponents liars. (Democrats are not so shy.) But sometimes a lie can be demonstrated. Republicans need to factually report Obama’s falsehoods so the electorate will conclude on its own that he intentionally deceives.”

Voters need to get comfortable with calling a Democrat a liar. A poignant theme: If you can’t call a liar a liar, it gives carte blanche to liars. The corollary: Americans can no longer believe anything Barack Obama says — just like any Chicago politician.

As a public service, therefore, and in the wake of flat-footed Republican efforts, I now summarize some truth-laden message fodder the Romney campaign should use to save our country from more Obama:

• “Fast & Furious” is a huge scandal inherently. Even if initial research shows little importance to the public, that will grow when people learn the essence: Obama’s Justice Department running guns to the drug cartels. That picturesque imagery is compelling. Use it, Mr. Romney.

• Of the terrible things about ObamaCare, one needs highlighting: The death panels are real. Show voters text from the law describing the bureaucrat panels empowered to bestow life or death. (Do you suppose an Obama death panel might consider party affiliation in its decisions?)

Please, Mr. Romney, use the rhetoric  of Obama’s callous declaration to sacrifice Grandma to a pain pill, along with the plaintive questioner asking if dictator Obama will allow her mother to live. This dramatic display, a major blunder by Obama, has been under-utilized. Emphasize to voters: ObamaCare may kill you, but will very likely kill your children.

And distinguishing ‘RomneyCare’ from ‘ObamaCare’ is easy.

A hint: Experimenting at the state level is not the same as jamming down the throat of the whole nation.

“Perhaps the most effective seed to plant in voters’ minds this year is “You have the power to overrule the Supreme Court on Obama-Care.”  The reason is that most people experience very little personal power in their lives, so the rare opportunity to exercise real power is something they will relish.”

“Obama claimed he was not present for Rev. Wright’s incendiary sermons. That can be falsified statistically. Based on the frequency we know of, and Obama’s estimate of 50% attendance, the probability that Barack Obama was absent for all of Wright’s anti-American, anti-Semitic diatribes is so low as to be rejected at the 95% confidence level.

Obama loves this country, you say? If so, why is he determined to “fundamentally transform America”? And please, Mr. Romney, remind the nation of how the Obama government has become an OUTLAW regime, establishing a creeping dictatorship by executive order.”

• It is also simple to show how Obama/Democrat policies increase gasoline prices. Do it! Don’t let them get away with “one man can’t control gas prices.” A large part of the current price can be blamed on Obama. His policies affect market psychology, as well as supply..

• Another is to explain the personal consequences of Obama’s bankrupting of America: Because of the dollar’s inevitable collapse, whatever money you have left will be nearly worthless. Then, a bankrupt nation cannot defend itself. The stakes are that grave. Say so.

• Perhaps the most effective message of all to expose the “Wizard of Oz-bama” would be to explain how the president insults the public’s intelligence at every turn. He uses not only “the big lie” but “the big insult” because he thinks voters are so stupid”. (Obama may yet prove to be right about that.)

As I have said before on this blog and elsewhere, we didn’t bargain for these choices.  These choices were bundled and foisted on us by the Liar in Chief when he was just a senator from Illinois  No, at the time he was busy  setting up his own agenda stealing the democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton.  Well by now that is old news as well. Could we have foreseen how Obama’s presidency would pan out 4 yrs hence? If we could have, we would have risked blood in the streets to prevent Obama from taking office.

Has Obama ever apologized for NOT solving these issues important to Americans?  Actually, I think I am within bounds saying Obama could not care less what we think. Obama is into personal gratification.  Watching his sport shows, playing golf, campaigning on the Tax Payers dime and defending radical Muslims from our democratic principles as Americans. Our democracy, a minority of Muslims purport they wish for as their way of life takes bloodshed and resolve.

Obama Won’t Call Libya Attacks Terrorism… ASKS Congress to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid-

By Katrina Trinko

Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler has a terrific list of statements made after the Benghazi attack by administration officials and President Obama.  Interestingly, despite the fact that yesterday it was reported that U.S. officials knew as early as September 12 that the attack was orchestrated by al-Qaeda, no official used the term “terrorism” until September 19th, when National Counterterrorism Center director Matthew Olsen said in a congressional testimony, “I would say yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy.”

The next day at the Univision Town hall, Obama is asked this: “We have reports that the White House said today that the attacks in Libya were a terrorist attack. Do you have information indicating that it was Iran, or al-Qaeda was behind organizing the protests?”

But in his response, Obama suggests it remains unclear whether the attack was an act of terror. “Well, we’re still doing an investigation, and there are going to be different circumstances in different countries,” Obama said. “And so I don’t want to speak to something until we have all the information. What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.”

And then again, several days after Olsen has told Congress that the attack in Benghazi was a “a terrorist attack,” Obama refuses to call it terrorism when appearing on The View in an episode that aired September 25. In response to this question, “I heard Hillary Clinton say it was an act of terrorism.” “Is it? What do you say?”, Obama said, “We are still doing an investigation. There is no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn’t just a mob action. Now, we don’t have all the information yet so we are still gathering.” Once again, there is no mention of the word “terrorism.”

In fact, to the best of my knowledge, Obama has yet to describe the attack as “terrorism” in any public forum.

Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom criticized the Obama administration’s handling of the matter today. “I think President Obama needs to be held accountable for his administration’s attempts to mislead the American people about what happened in Benghazi,” Fehrnstrom said on Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom. “We were initially told that this was a spontaneous demonstration in response to a video that was on You Tube.  The administration sent their ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, on the Sunday shows to defend that position.  Now we’re learning that it was a pre-planned terrorist attack, conduct on the anniversary of 9/11 and that it involved elements of Al Qaida.”

WH Moves to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance

By STEVEN LEE MYERS

September 28, 2012

The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it would provide Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the aid immediately encountered resistance from a prominent lawmaker wary of foreign aid and Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The aid is part of the $1 billion in assistance that the Obama administration has pledged to Egypt to bolster its transition to democracy after the overthrow last year of the former president, Hosni Mubarak. Its fate, however, was clouded by concerns over the new government’s policies and, more recently, the protests that damaged the American Embassy in Cairo.

The United States Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion on Friday morning during the pre-election recess, promptly igniting a smoldering debate over foreign aid and the administration’s handling of crises in the Islamic world.

An influential Republican lawmaker, Representative Kay Granger of Texas, immediately announced that she would use her position as chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign aid to block the distribution of the money. She said the American relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is in the wake of the election of President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time,” Ms. Granger said in a statement that her office issued even before the administration announced the package.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at a meeting of the Group of 8 nations in New York, said on Friday that the world needed to do more to support the governments that have emerged from the Arab Spring uprisings, including those in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.

“The recent riots and protests throughout the region have brought the challenge of transition into sharp relief,” Mrs. Clinton said, without mentioning the assistance to Egypt specifically. “Extremists are clearly determined to hijack these wars and revolutions to further their agendas and ideology, so our partnership must empower those who would see their nations emerge as true democracies.”

The debate comes as the issue of foreign aid in general made an unexpected appearance in the presidential campaign.

In a speech in New York on Tuesday, Mr. Obama’s Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, called for revamping assistance to focus more on investments in the private sector than on direct aid — a shift administration officials have said is under way.

While Mr. Romney did not address aid to Egypt directly, he cited Mr. Morsi’s membership in the Muslim Brotherhood as one of the alarming developments in the Middle East, along with the war in Syria, Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and the killing of the American ambassador to Libya.

“A temporary aid package can jolt an economy,” he said. “It can fund some projects. It can pay some bills. It can employ some people some of the time. But it can’t sustain an economy — not for long. It can’t pull the whole cart, because at some point the money runs out.”

The $1 billion in aid, announced by Mr. Obama in May 2011, was initially intended to relieve Egypt’s debts to the United States, though negotiations stalled during the country’s turbulent transition from military rule to the election of Mr. Morsi this summer.

In recent weeks, negotiations over the assistance picked up pace, and the administration decided to provide $450 million instead, including $190 million immediately, because the country’s economic crisis has become acute, with an estimated budget shortfall of $12 billion.

The assistance outlined in letters to Congress on Friday would be contingent on Egypt’s setting in motion economic and budgetary changes that the International Monetary Fund is now negotiating as part of a $4.8 billion loan.

The administration has also thrown its support behind that loan, and officials said they hoped it would be completed before the end of the year. A $260 million infusion would come when the much larger loan is completed, according to officials familiar with the package. By law, all assistance to Egypt is contingent on the country’s meeting certain requirements, including adherence to basic democratic values and the Camp David peace treaty with Israel.

The protests over an anti-Muslim video and the storming of the American Embassy in Cairo on Sept. 11 came even as senior White House and State Department officials led a large business delegation to promote economic assistance and trade in Egypt.

Mr. Morsi’s slow response to the protests raised concerns in Washington, although administration officials later cited improved cooperation over the embassy’s security.

The $1 billion in assistance has been cobbled together from funds already appropriated by Congress, but the administration is required to notify lawmakers of its intention to release any of the funds. Ms. Granger presumably can put a hold on that release and pursue legislation to reverse the appropriation.

Mrs. Clinton lobbied lawmakers last week during closed-door briefings that focused on the tumult across the region, including the attack at the American diplomatic mission in Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

In addition to the $1 billion in assistance, the administration is working with Egypt to provide $375 million in financing and loan guarantees for American financiers who invest in Egypt and a $60 million investment fund for Egyptian businesses. All of that comes on top of $1.3 billion in military aid that the United States provides Egypt each year.

A senior State Department official said that the administration would consult with members of Congress in the days ahead “to make the case that this budget support is firmly in U.S. interests in seeing peace, stability and democracy in Egypt and the wider neighborhood.”

SO THE QUESTION BEGS:

HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE NOT FUNDING TERRORIST ATTACKS AGAINST OUR OWN COUNTRY WHEN THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY?

Libyan President Contradicts Obama: Film Not Responsible for Attack

The proverbial sh*te is hitting the proverbial fan! Finally!

As recently as yesterday, President Obama stood before the world at the United Nations and blamed “The Innocence of Muslims” for the unrest in the Middle East and, more specifically, the death of four Americans in Libya, including Christopher Stevens, our Libyan Ambassador. Obama refuses to acknowledge the assassination of Stevens was a terrorist attack, even though other members of his Administration, including his own Secretary of State, have already conceded it was exactly that.

In fact, every bit of intel also contradicts the President.

And now, Libyan President Mohamed Magarief is on the record declaratively stating the video had absolutely nothing to do with the attacks:

Libyan President Mohamed Magarief said the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, which also resulted in the deaths of three other Americans, was more likely pegged to the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

“Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September,” Magarief told NBC’s Ann Curry in the exclusive interview. “They chose this date, 11th of September to carry a certain message.” …

Clinton Suggests Link to al Qaeda Offshoot in Deadly Libya Attack :

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday suggested there was a link between the Qaeda franchise in North Africa and the attack at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the American ambassador and three others. She was the highest-ranking Obama administration official to publicly make the connection, and her comments intensified what is becoming a fiercely partisan fight over whether the attack could have been prevented.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton meeting with President Mohamed Magariaf of Libya.

Mrs. Clinton did not offer any new evidence of a Qaeda link, and officials later said the question would be officially settled only after the F.B.I. completed a criminal inquiry, which could take months. But they said they had not ruled out the involvement of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb — an affiliate of the international terrorist group with origins in Algeria — in an attack the administration initially described as a spontaneous protest turned violent.

(…)

Mrs. Clinton made her remarks at a special United Nations meeting on the political and security crisis in the parts of North Africa known as the Maghreb and the Sahel, particularly in northern Mali, which has been overrun by Islamic extremists since a military coup helped lead to the division of that country this year.

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has long operated in the region, she said, and was now exploiting a haven in Mali to export extremism and terrorist violence to neighbors like Libya.

“Now with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions,” Mrs. Clinton told leaders assembled at the meeting, including President François Hollande of France and the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon. “And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions under way in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi.”

Mr. Ban called the meeting to lay the groundwork for a possible international military intervention — to be led by African troops — to help the new military government in Mali re-establish control over a part of the country that Mr. Hollande noted was the size of France and is now under the grip of Islamist extremists imposing their vision of law and order.

“We cannot stand by and allow terrorists to take over an entire territory,” Mr. Hollande said.

Top militia leaders in Benghazi have dismissed the possibility that Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb played a role in the attacks or had a foothold in eastern Libya. Benghazi residents have said they believe the brigade that conducted the attack could not have managed the assault on its own, because it included more than 100 heavily armed fighters.

Mrs. Clinton’s connection of the turmoil in the Sahel with the violence in Benghazi, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, echoed remarks made last week by Matthew G. Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He said that intelligence analysts were investigating ties between local Libyan militias and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, but had not yet come to any conclusions.

A senior administration official said that Mrs. Clinton intended to underscore the rising threat that the Qaeda affiliate and other extremist organizations pose to the emerging democratic governments in countries like Tunisia and Libya, adding that the group clearly intended to make contact with extremists in Benghazi and elsewhere. The final determination of the group’s role, the official said, would await the investigation by the F.B.I.

Mrs. Clinton has also ordered a review of diplomatic security that is being led by Thomas R. Pickering, a veteran diplomat and former undersecretary of state.

It was not clear whether Mrs. Clinton’s remarks foreshadowed any possible retaliation against those who carried out the attack, whether they operated in sympathy with, or on orders from, Al Qaeda leaders. But she reiterated the administration’s vow to bring those responsible to justice, telling the conference that American intelligence and law-enforcement agencies were working not only with Libya but with other nations in the region to investigate the attack.

The cooperation with other nations beyond Libya in the investigations also seemed to indicate that the attack’s planning and execution might have crossed international borders and not simply have been a local, spontaneous eruption of violence in response to an amateurish Internet video denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.

(…)

From the start, Libyan officials have sought to blame foreigners, even as they move to crack down on extremist militias that took part in the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi last year and clearly had a role in the attack. Mr. Magariaf said at least 40 suspects had been questioned, but there was no definitive conclusion about those involved. “It was a preplanned act of terrorism directed against American citizens,” Mr. Magariaf said in remarks broadcast on NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday.

The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, defended the administration’s evolving version of events. “Over the course of the past two weeks, this administration has provided as much information as it has been able to,” Mr. Carney told reporters traveling on Air Force One to Ohio on Wednesday. “We made clear that our initial assessment and interim reports were based on information that was available at the time.”

How Mitt Romney is actually defeating Barack Obama in the presidential race

TAKE THE POLL..  at the bottom of the page:

Despite all the noise created by all those media-commissioned skewed polls that appear to have President Obama leading, Mitt Romney is actually winning the presidential race as of today. The newest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Daily Tracking poll released today shows Obama 47 percent to Romney 46 percent, and shows them tied at 48 percent when leaning voters are included. The Gallup tracking poll, which is based on a sample that tends to favor Democrats by a few points, released today shows Obama leading just two percent, 48 percent to 46 percent. The QStarNews Daily Tracking Poll released today shows a Romney lead of 51 percent to 45 percent.

Polling data and analysis of voting patterns indicates that Romney is going to win most of the key swing states including the five surveyed by Purple Strategies just a few days ago. The last QStarNews analysis and projection of the electoral college covered in this column predicts Romney winning 301 electoral votes, 31 more than needed for election as president.

As former Clinton political consultant Dick Morris and others have pointed out, the undecided vote in a presidential election will always heavily favor the challenging candidate by election day. A reasonable figure to use as a factor on this is to estimate that approximately 75 percent of the current undecided voters, who are voters that have already decided they will not vote for Barack Obama but have not finalized a decision to vote for Mitt Romney, will break for Romney at some time between now and election day.

Looking at the Rasmussen poll showing leaning voters with the candidates tied at 48 percent, leads to a conclusion of Romney winning 51 percent to 49 percent. The Gallup poll, unskewed, would produce a difference similar to this earlier Gallup poll unskewed that indicated a five percent Romney lead, very similar to the Romney lead reported in today’s QStarNews Daily Tracking Poll.

But many still wonder how the other polls can show such varying results for the presidential race. This is because the mainstream media-commissioned polls over-sample Democrats to produce skewed results that favor the Democrats. The recent CNN/ORC poll was based on a sample that included 50.5 percent Democrats. The makeup of the electorate, according to exit polls, in 2008 was Democrats 39 percent to Republicans 32 during an election in which Barack Obama won the race 53 percent to 46 percent over John McCain. Even if one assumes the 2012 electorate will match that, which most analysts consider highly unlikely, a poll sample including 50.5 percent still over-samples Democrats by 11.5 percent.

The electorate in 2010 was made up of 35 percent registered Democrats and Republicans with almost all the rest being independents. Rasmussen Reports partisan data measured from hundreds of thousands of voters by Rasmussen Reports, which measures the partisan percentages at 37.6 percent Republicans, 33.3 percent Democrats and 29.2 percent independents.

If we assume that Romney will win 56 percent of the independent vote to Obama’s 44 percent, a conclusion that is quite reasonable given most of the polling data available, we can look at how the race turns out at varying levels of weighting of the Democrats and Republicans.

Using Rasmussen’s 37.6 percent Republicans to 33.3 percent Democrats, Romney would win the election with a 54.10 percent to 45.90 percent margin.

Using a weighting that assumes Republicans and Democrats will be 35 percent each in the actual electorate that votes in the election, Romney would win the race 51.8 percent to 48.2 percent.

If the electorate is Republicans by two percent, meaning 36 percent Republicans to 34 percent Democrats, Romney would win 50.70 percent to 49.30 percent.

If the electorate is Democrats by two percent, meaning 36 percent Democrats to 34 percent Republicans, Romney would win 52.90 percent to 47.10 percent.

Democrats will have to have a four percent edge among the voting electorate, meaning 37 percent Democrats to 33 percent Republicans, for Obama to win the popular vote by a very narrow 50.40 percent to 49.60 percent majority. Assuming those numbers and adding just a five percent higher turnout level among Republicans would wipe out that Obama margin and give Romney a slim lead.

If one believes the real election day results are somewhere near the middle of the range in the above scenarios, that points to an electorate that is even to possibly one or two points in favor of the Democrats, which nonetheless still translates to Romney being announced president-elect on election night. Romney is winning this election right now.

Barack Obama Goes All-In On Muslim Sympathy During Speech To United Nations

Ulsterman on September 25, 2012

Looking bored at times, President Barack Obama engaged in his side-to-side speechifying skills to remind Muslim leaders assembled this week at the United Nations that it is Muslims who have suffered the most from extremism. Yup – he said it.

President Surreal refused to meet with world leaders this week – including most infamously, a rebuke of the request coming from Israel. Instead, Barack Obama took himself to the friendlier pro-Obama confines of network television – ABC’s The View where he chatted and chortled on the couch with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters.

This morning he took to the podium of the United Nations with the events of the Middle East embassy attacks and resulting chaos very much another presence in that room. Obama proceeded to give a rambling and often apologetic speech that at times, bordered on a verbal bow to the Muslim world. Despite such events as 9-11, the Benghazi attacks, and countless suicide bombings that have rendered limb and life from thousands of American soldiers,

President Barack Obama took time out to convince the world that it is Muslims who “have suffered the most at the hands of extremism.”

Nothing generates respect and fear in the Muslim world like open groveling – and that is what Barack Obama once again gave radical Islam yet again.

Oh – and in very much related news, there was a memorial service for slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens a few days ago – held in Libya.

No word on services in the United States. No word on a cause of death report from doctors in the United States. Was the Ambassador brutalized prior to his death as some reports suggest? What of the other three slain Americans?

There has been no word on these very simple and basic questions.

“That means cover-up folks.” LINK

Questions Now Turn To WHY Obama White House LIED About Muslim Embassy Attacks

While the level of questioning has not reached outrage quite yet (though it certainly should) more in the media are now asking why the Obama administration – including the president himself,  repeatedly told a tale so easily proven false regarding the fatal attacks against Americans in the Middle East.

EXCERPT:

Permanent Spin

For nine days, the Obama administration made a case that virtually everyone understood was untrue: that the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, was a random, spontaneous act of individuals upset about an online video—an unpredictable attack on a well-protected compound that had nothing do to with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
…White House press secretary Jay Carney not only denied that the attacks had anything to do with the anniversary of 9/11 but scolded reporters who, citing the administration’s own pre-9/11 boasts about its security preparations for the anniversary, made the connection. “I think that you’re conveniently conflating two things,” Carney snapped, “which is the anniversary of 9/11 and the incidents that took place, which are under investigation.”
Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Intelligence officials understood immediately that the attacks took place on 9/11 for a reason. The ambassador, in a country that faces a growing al Qaeda threat, had virtually no security. The two contractors killed in the attacks were not part of the ambassador’s security detail, and there were not, in fact, “many other colleagues” working security with them.

So we are left with this: Four Americans were killed in a premeditated terrorist attack on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, and for more than a week the Obama administration misled the country about what happened.

“This isn’t just a problem. It’s a scandal”.

Paulson: Why Did The White House Take So Long To Admit Libya Attack Was Terrorism?

by Scott Paulson

After the deadly attack on the United States Embassy in Libya, it was apparent to many that the attack was premeditated and designed to kill Americans – not to protest an amateur-made movie that mocked Islam and disrespected Mohammad. The militant 9-11 attackers totally achieved their goal by leaving the United States Embassy in shambles with charred and blood-stained walls as well as a trail of death.

Yet the current administration in the United States government insisted otherwise. President Barack Obama, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney led the way by denouncing those who dared state the obvious version of what had happened in Benghazi, Libya – that it was about terrorism and not about the anti-Mohammad film.

Finally, a week later, the obvious has been addressed by Jay Carney at the White House and Mathew Olsen, the director of the National Counter-terrorism Center, who both now admit that the deadly acts against United States Ambassador to Libya Christopher Steven and three other Americans were indeed an act of terrorism, obviously committed on 9-11.

With Americans watching the nearing of the date September 11, 2012 on the calendar for weeks – if not months – and dreading the stark reality that something disastrous may happen to innocent Americans again, the president and his political cronies refused to believe what happened.

Yet Americans are supposed to have faith in them, their judgment, trust their words and actions – and sit idly by as they denounce anyone who dares to try to challenge their words. Additionally, with extreme words, they denounce anyone who tries to challenge them for their power and positions. Unfortunately, in the past week, we have seen far too many Americans bow down to the blatant misspeaks or, perhaps, lies spoken by those in positions we have been able to dutifully trust in the past.

With this administration, we have seen far too many people trust in everything the political leaders say and do in Washington – without logical and discerned question. This is just plain foolish on the part of the blind followers.

More than what these national leaders and politicians are doing to Americans, consider what they are they telling the rest of the world – the rest of the world who figured out the nation was 9/11-attacked again as soon as it happened. Our leaders told the world that we are a nation led by either ignorance via doubt or by liars. Neither, of course, is an admirable trait to display when one claims to be “the” world leader. Beyond causing America to be embarrassed throughout the world, last week’s denial of what happened on 9/11/2012 makes us look incredibly weak.

Even the thought of blaming the anti-Islamic, Mohammad-disgracing movie for the most recent 9/11 attack on innocent Americans was ignorant – and carrying the thought out through words from the nation’s capital via our top leaders was incredibly inappropriate, totally embarrassing, extremely America-weakening, and – most of all – an ignorant stunt to try to pass on to America and the world.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney finally telling reporters a week after the incident, “It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” is too little – far too late.

The goal now is for the United States and Libya to join political forces to bring the attackers to justice. This, of course, needs to be done swiftly and honorably in the name of the four fallen Americans.

Then, there needs to be a full investigation as to why those present in the attacked-United States Embassies weren’t forewarned of the attacks as evidence that there was prior knowledge of the attacks grows. LINK

OBAMA LIED again… Now Admits Embassy Attack; Attack Against America…

 

Obama Flip-Flops On Middle East Embassy Attacks – Now Admits It WAS A Terrorist Attack Against America

After days of officials at the highest levels of the Obama administration repeatedly telling Americans the deadly Middle East embassy attacks were nothing more than Muslim demonstrations against a little known and less seen YouTube video, this same Obama administration is now quietly admitting the attack in Libya was in fact the act of terrorists. Either the Obama White House is incapable of truth, or incapable of competence. Perhaps it is both…

The Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was in fact “a terrorist attack” and the U.S. government has indications that members of al Qaeda were directly involved, a top Obama administration official said Wednesday morning.

“I would say yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy,” Matt Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said Wednesday at a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, in response to questioning from Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-CT) about the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

As for who was responsible, Olsen said it appears there were attackers from a number of different militant groups that operate in and around Benghazi, and said there are already signs of al Qaeda involvement.

“We are looking at indications that individuals involved in the attack may have had connections to al Qaeda or al Qaeda’s affiliates; in particular, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb,” he said.

The U.S. government just isn’t sure yet whether the terrorist attack was pre-planned or whether it was an example of terrorists taking advantage of protests against an anti-Islam film, Olsen said.

“It appears that individuals who were certainly well-armed seized on the opportunity presented as the events unfolded that evening and into the morning hours of September 12th. We do know that a number of militants in the area, as I mentioned, are well-armed and maintain those arms. What we don’t have at this point is specific intelligence that there was a significant advanced planning or coordination for this attack,” he said.

His statements go further than those of the White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who said last week that the protests in Cairo and Benghazi were a reaction to the video and not a pre-planned attack. Today, Carney didn’t repeat the assertion that the video was solely to blame, but he said again that there is no evidence the Benghazi attack was pre-planned.

“What I can tell you is that, as I said last week, as … our ambassador to the United Nations said on Sunday and as I said the other day, based on what we know now and knew at the time, we have no evidence of a preplanned or premeditated attack,” Carney said Wednesday. “It is a simple fact that there are in post-revolution, post-war Libya armed groups; there are bad actors hostile to the government, hostile to the West, hostile to the United States. And as has been the case in other countries in the region, it is certainly conceivable that these groups take advantage of and exploit situations that develop, when they develop, to protest against or attack either Westerners, Americans, Western sites, or American sites.”

Committee ranking Republican Susan Collins (R-ME) declared at the hearing that she believes the attacks were planned well in advance and she referenced information she had received from U.S. intelligence officials behind closed doors.

“First, I will tell you that based on the briefings I have had, I’ve come to the opposite conclusion and agree with the president of Libya that this was a premeditated, planned attack that was associated with the date of 9/11, the anniversary of 9/11,” she said. “I just don’t think that people come to protests equipped with RPGs and other heavy weapons. And the reports of complicity — and they are many — with the Libyan guards who were assigned to guard the consulate also suggest to me that this was premeditated.”

Collins said she was concerned by the lack of security at the Benghazi consulate, especially since there had been an attack on the mission in June and a more serious attack on the British ambassador’s convoy as well. Olsen said the U.S. government was aware of the danger but not of impending attack that killed the four Americans.

“So there were reports detailing those attacks and detailing generally the threat that was faced to U.S. and Western individuals and interests in Eastern Libya from, again, armed militants as well as elements connected to al Qaeda,” he said. “There was no specific intelligence regarding an imminent attack prior to September 11th on our post in Benghazi.”

READ ABOUT THE OBAMA YOU DON’T KNOW

Ambassador Stevens & the Scorpion…

 

The globalist table is being set. The plans are ‘Order from Chaos’ – engineered chaos. The “New World Order” has been defined.

Most people have heard the fable about the frog and the scorpion, but in the event you haven’t, I’ll briefly recount it here. A scorpion asks a frog to carry him on his back to the other side of a stream. The frog initially refuses, telling the scorpion that he would likely sting and kill him along the journey.

The scorpion promises not to, pointing out that they would both die if the scorpion was to sting the frog in the middle of the water. The frog then said that the scorpion would sting the frog once they were on the other side. The scorpion scoffed, telling the frog that he would be too grateful to do something as sinister as that.

Like the story of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the tale does not have a happy ending. After the frog agrees to carry the scorpion, the frog gets stung in the middle of the stream, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion simply replies, “it is my nature.” Believe what you wish about America’s foreign policy, but Ambassador Stevens succumbed to the sting of the scorpion that is inherent in the nature of Islamic fundamentalism that exists under the pretext of what is termed “Arab Spring.”

The Obama doctrine

On June 4, 2009, Barack Hussein Obama made what many describe as a conciliatory speech in Cairo, which laid the foundation for his foreign policy in the Arab World. Thus began a doctrine of overt acquiescence and apology, followed by an active policy of engagement against certain Middle East dictators who were repressing democracy. At least that’s the way it was made to appear on the surface.

Obama’s actions by funding and arming the very element who promised not to “sting” us illustrates only one of two possibilities. Either inexplicable naiveté by Obama, or a deliberate course of action designed to create orchestrated chaos across the Middle East. While Ambassador Stevens might have adhered to the ideology that by helping our enemies, our actions would cause them to suddenly abandon their inherent nature and become our friends, it is unlikely that this was, or is Obama’s mindset. By all accounts and by his own admission, he is fully aware of that ideology as he lived it.

Given our experiences over the last fifty years and through multiple administrations, we must then ask what it is that Obama is actually attempting to do? The answer to this question, if one believes that he actually understands the Islamic mindset, is beyond troubling. It becomes exponentially more troubling as one digs far beneath the official narratives of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

It is here that one must have a very good understanding of history, and not the history shaped by the influx of Petrodollars into American academia. It is extremely important to understand that since the 1970s, our universities have been saturated with money provided by Arab and Muslim elites. By influencing the students and educators coming from these universities and redefining history, the whole of society, including politicians and journalists are thusly influenced. From the early 1970s forward, Middle East studies overtook schools and universities, teaching a false historical doctrine that eventually shaped our foreign policy and how the current generation of journalists report on Muslim and Middle East issues.

This, combined with the agenda of global elites, especially the Progressives and those on the far left, resulted in the stifling of any historical understanding of the global Islamic Caliphate. Understanding history and exploiting American’s intellectual paralysis, compliments of a media staffed by the new generation of journalists and infiltrated by globalist facilitators, the globalists saw 2008 as the time to roll out an already well-groomed Barack Hussein Obama, a self-proclaimed citizen of the world, as the leader of the free world. The actual and perceived failures of the Bush administration’s foreign policy, itself influenced by oil and the coziness that only Petrodollars could buy, set the stage for Obama. Finally, the events put into motion decades ago, propelled by the 9/11 attacks, could be cultivated to advance their idea of a New World Order, or a singular system of international rule.

To accomplish this system of global governance, it would be necessary to change the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. Hold-outs for national independence and sovereignty would have to be removed, such as Mubarak in Egypt and Gaddafi in Libya. Without the preoccupation of a cold war enemy, the globalists and the Islamic fundamentalists united in a common goal: to usurp the sovereignty and independence of nations filled with Islamic fundamentalists held at bay by their despotic leaders. This was done under the thinly veiled pretext of advancing human rights and promoting democracy where none had ever existed and never could. The pretext is able to exist due to the lack of honest scrutiny by a complicit media. Moreover, few Americans have the ability to challenge the official narrative, thanks to the revisionist history taught in schools and universities, compliments of the Arab and Muslim elite.

With the promise of re-establishing an Islamic Caliphate in the region known as the Greater Middle East, or the area from Morocco to Afghanistan, Obama inked a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood as a means to clear the path for a global system of governance. He brought in the Muslim Brotherhood to all areas of our government to collude with the globalists and communists already firmly rooted in our government and our media. The allegiance of both the secular globalists and Islamic fundamentalists working to re-establish a Caliphate promises them all a seat at the globalist table, yet they fail to understand that they are dining with scorpions.

The Obama doctrine, it would appear, is one of orchestrated deconstruction of countries getting in the way of the reconstruction of the Islamic Caliphate. Once established, the Islamic Caliphate will usher in a repressive global religion complimentary to the larger globalist agenda. Accordingly, Syria cannot be allowed to exist in its current form, nor can Israel, but for different reasons. We witnessed this doctrine in action in Egypt and Libya, with the spoils going to a cabal of international bankers backing the plan.

The Obama doctrine of foreign policy is the globalist doctrine, except the Obama doctrine employs the effective use of the Muslim Brotherhood to advance the globalist agenda. This explains the seemingly schizophrenic policies in play by Obama and those signed on to his agenda on both sides of the political spectrum. Ending with the big Lie

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” That quote is attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda, and a monster with a deep contempt for humanity.

It is easy to see the quote in action today. Simply look at the narratives pushed by Obama and his minions, and other politicos on all sides of the political divide. Obviously, Obama does not have exclusivity to its use, but he certainly has mastered it. He has been helped by an American academia that has been infiltrated long enough to produce a generation intellectually hobbled in history, and a media so enamored by a messianic persona manufactured by a cabal of globalists that it is collectively blind to their own coming demise.

It is sad that Ambassador Christopher Stevens met his own demise at the hands of the very people he truly thought were his friends. One can even understand the mindset of Ambassador Stevens, as he was the product of the same doctrine that led to his demise. In the end, however, we must realize that we will meet the same fate if we do not understand that what we’ve been told, and what we continue to be told, is a big lie that is being repeated at the behest of the globalist elite.

Arab Spring was never spontaneous, but carefully planned and orchestrated. It is not about freeing repressed nations, but conquering them. It is not about democracy, but about destroying their sovereignty and replacing one oppressor with another. It’s about taking the spoils and lining the pockets of those bankrolling the operations. It’s just one phase in a series of phases. It’s about re-instituting the Islamic Caliphate that ruled until European mandates ended its reign, and using it as a means to a larger end. Again, who better than Barack Hussein Obama, as ruler of the free world, to usher in the new Caliphate?

The globalist table is being set. The plans are order from chaos – engineered chaos. The “New World Order” has been defined, and its plans are in progress. Barack Hussein Obama has been selected as the one to usher in the new age of global governance. Backroom deals have been made by those who believe they will have a seat at that table. However, most will not sit at that table. Like the frog, they will take their final breaths beneath a scorpion.LINK

A Map of Muslim Protests Around the World…

The censorship becomes official.President Barack Obama has bowed to the Muslim Brotherhood’s demand that the federal government suppress a satirical video of Islam’s prophet,  Muhammad.

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Washington Post that the White House has “reached out to YouTube to call the video to their attention and ask them to review whether it violates their terms of use.”

The request complies with the Sept. 13 demand and threat by the brotherhood, which now governs the Arab’s world’s largest country, Egypt. “Hurting the feelings of one and a half billion Muslims cannot be tolerated, and… we demand that all those involved in such crimes be urgently brought to trial,” according to an English-language statement on the brotherhood’s website.

The brotherhood’s demand included a threat of additional violence during Obama’s re-election campaign. “The people’s anger and fury for their Faith is invariably predictable, often unstoppable,” said the website.

That violence could deeply damage Obama’s election chances OR NOT, just as similar Islamist violence in Iran sank President Jimmy Carter’s re-election effort in 1979 . OR, this violence could spread to the United States enlisting  Muslins already US Citizens and available to uphold  their religious beliefs… ‘death to all Christians.”

Mainstream Media Ignoring Disaffected, Disillusioned Obama 2008 Voters

President Barack Obama’s approval ratings have plummeted largely because Democrats and independents who fell for his “hope and change” rhetoric in 2008 have now abandoned him and his false promises. But the mainstream media is not covering this, once again protecting their favored candidate through omissions, treating Obama with kid gloves.

Stephen K. Bannon and Citizens United interviewed such Democrats and independents in swing states like Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania and made a movie called “The Hope and The Change.” It is a movie Sean Hannity said was the “most powerful documentary” he had ever seen. And the mainstream media must agree, because they know reporting on these stories will resonate with Americans like “The Hope and The Change,” which opens next week, has. And that is why they are not reporting on these disaffected former Obama voters.

The influential and insightful Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus notes in The Hill that “the mainstream media are comfortably snuggled in the pocket of President Obama” and “his cheerleaders in the media no longer even make so much as the weakest attempt to camouflage their allegiance.”

Reporting on disaffected Obama voters, Jacobus notes, will not only hurt Obama but also their careers — “or at least curtail the in-crowd party invites in D.C. and the Upper West Side.”

Jacobus writes that the insular, groupthink members of political press should watch “The Hope and The Change” because “they actually talk to the Democrats who voted for Obama in 2008 in some key battleground states but are now bitterly disappointed after four years.”

“Political reporters don’t seem interested in listening to these voters and even pretend they don’t exist,” Jacobus writes. “Yet it’s these voters who are going to make Decision 2012.”

If journalists spoke to voters such as the ones profiled in “The Hope and the Change,” they may hear things such as:

“Obama says a lot of things, but his actions are often different.”

“Obama’s a great con-artist.”

“I think he just wanted to get up there and show off.”

“This is the type of thing my father was trying to get away from in communist Eastern Europe.”

“This is the limit. We gotta go by the budget.”

“I fear for my children.”

“Smoke and mirrors.”

“I don’t know if we can recover from this.”

But these soundbites and quotes from Reagan Democrats and independents outside of the political bubble would demolish the mainstream media’s narrative that Obama is a competent leader who can best help the middle class.

“In contrast to the ‘real people’ featured in pro-Obama news with nothing to say regarding the overall good of the nation, instead focusing exclusively on what taxpayer-funded free stuff can do for them, those in ‘The Hope and the Change’ are concerned about the decline of the nation under Obama, as well as the impact on their families,” Jacobus writes. “That the man with the silver tongue who began with some of the highest approval ratings since they’ve been tracked could find himself below 50 percent at this late juncture should be one of the most-reported political items this election cycle.

That so very many Democrats — not to mention independents — who voted for the unknown Barack Obama in 2008 are now turning away from him is news. Big news.”

Jacobus notes the film also tracks Obama’s failures the mainstream media barely mentions.

“From expensive vacations on our dime, slow-jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon and the ‘cash for clunkers’ program (that could now serve as an anti-Obama campaign theme) to the S&P downgrade, the perplexing Nobel Peace Prize for literally nothing, repetitive sloganeering by Obama that borders on the creepy, ObamaCare, 23 million searching for work, failed stimulus spending and $16 trillion in debt, we are provided a painfully accurate overview of the past four years,” Jacobus writes.

“The Hope and the Change” does what the mainstream media, which is becoming more elitist, insular, and out of touch with America’s main streets, does not and may be incapable of doing even if they tried — ask Reagan Democrats and independents substantive questions, and let them answer honestly in an unfiltered manner.

Obama and Media Attack Free Speech

We used to live in a free country, a United States where our rights and liberties were protected. It is no accident that the very first amendment in the Bill of Rights includes the right to free speech.

Not any more. Not under the brutal fist of the Obama Administration. Not only are government officials right and left denouncing the film that supposedly catalyzed the Islamist attacks on our embassies and nation, but there is a massive effort to shift the focus in America away from the abysmal foreign policy of Barack Obama and toward Mitt Romney and the creator of the film.

Hillary Clinton: “To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage.”

General Martin Dempsey, who recently threw Israel under the bus:

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, spoke by phone this morning with Pastor Terry Jones. In the brief call, Gen. Dempsey expressed his concerns over the nature of the film, the tensions it will inflame and the violence it will cause. He asked Mr. Jones to consider withdrawing his support for the film.

Meanwhile, the media savaged Mitt Romney for stating the obvious truth, that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks. But then, the MSM has never been interested in the truth; they have a clear agenda in running interference for Obama, and anything, anything they can twist and manipulate to that end they will pursue.

So the upshot of the last 24 hours has been the concerted attempt by the Obama Administration, its allies and the media, to suppress free speech, whether it be a film that makes Muslims angry, or a speech by Mitt Romney in which he speaks the badly needed truth that Barack Obama will do anything to hide.

The rightful guardians of free speech, our government and our military, have abandoned this core American principle for one reason and one reason only: to protect Barack Obama by redirecting attention away from his failures.

Egypt might still be on our side if Obama hadn’t signaled Islamists that he was sympathetic to them rather than confronting them. The entire Arab world is now being militarized against America. All because, just as with Jimmy Carter, the president of the United States is afraid.

Obama, Egypt, and Israel: None Dare Call It Treason, Fifty Years Later

Barely more than three years ago, President Obama traveled to Cairo, speaking to students and offering a “new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.” Now, in the wake of the storming of the US Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday, Obama’s outreach policy is in ruins; the death of the US ambassador in Libya further underscores the reality that the “Arab Spring” is really an Arab winter.

Hell, as Thomas Hobbes said, is reality seen too late. And the hellishness of today’s Egypt seems manifest to anyone paying attention to Egypt today; after the embassy violence, Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi seems focused only on prosecuting the makers of the movie, even as Morsi’s own Muslim Brotherhood continues protests in front of the US embassy on Friday.

Confronted with all this bad news, the mainstream media seems to have made a key decision on its coverage–attack Mitt Romney. They will continue to defend their anointed champion, Obama, against attacks on his foreign policy record. A headline from The Business Insider sums up the state of play: “Mitt Romney Is Getting Completely Shredded For His Response To The US Embassy Attacks.”

Romney’s basic point was that Islamists are attacking us because we are weak; as a campaign document puts it, “We have seen a foreign policy of weakness and decline in American influence and respect. Yesterday, we saw the consequences of this perceived weakness.” And that’s what has sent the MSM into overdrive in defense of Obama. Romney is now being picked apart on minor timeline issues (issues on which he was correct), while the major thrust of what he said–his critique of Obama policy weakness–is ignored.

As Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak pointed out, it would have been just as easy, were the MSM so inclined, to take apart the contradictions of various Obama administration statements. Or, as Breitbart’s Tony Lee observed, the MSM could have made the Obama administration’s lack of preparation against possible attacks–it was, after all, the anniversary of 9-11–into an issue. But the MSM wasn’t interested in any of that. And of course, there’s the larger question hanging over all US Mideast policymaking: are we seeing, as Samuel Huntington suggested almost 20 years ago, a “clash of civilizations” that might be beyond the power of even the 44th President to solve? But none of those arguments fit the needs of the pro-Obama MSM narrative. So they are ignored.

MURDER ON THE NILE…

“Jihad Is Our Path And Death In The Name Of Allah Is Our Goal.”

Today President Obama attempted to distance himself – at least publicly, from recently elected Egyptian President and longtime Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsy. The very same Barack Obama who only months earlier strongly endorsed Morsi’s victory in Egypt following the Obama-supported overthrow of longtime American ally Hosni Mubarak. This is not American leadership. This is foreign policy disaster by a man so detached from reality and so out of his depth he is putting all Americans at risk.

Slain Ambassador Chris Stevens – murdered at the hands of Muslim radicals in Libya.
…………………………………………..

Let’s just break it down real simple here folks. Barack Obama gave a speech in Cairo Egypt shortly after becoming President of the United States – welcomed then personally by Hasni Mubarak. In that speech President Obama promised a “new beginning” in relations between the Middle East and the United States based upon “mutual respect”. Within a year, forces were working to overthrow Mubarak, and the United States, a longtime ally of the Mubarak government, began to express a desire to see Mubarak removed from power even as some warned his absence could usher in the return of Muslim extremism to Egypt.

Those warnings were ignored by Barack Obama and his administration – and Mubarak fell from power and just as those warnings foretold, the Muslim Brotherhood did in fact assume majority control of the newly formed Egyptian government.

And now, on the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, two American embassies in the Middle East are attacked by Muslim radicals. In Egypt the American flag is ripped from the embassy and replaced with a flag of Islam. In Libya, embassy staff are captured and then killed, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, whose body is dragged for hours through city streets before finally being handed over to authorities.

As the body of Ambassador Stevens was trampled upon, President Barack Obama slept. In the days leading up to the attacks, Obama was also absent any security briefings – he has only attended about a third of those meetings this past year.

The same week of these attacks by radical Muslims against American embassies, Barack Obama also refused a requested meeting from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing scheduling conflicts. The “conflicts” of that schedule are television appearances and more campaigning.

Regarding Egyptian president Mohamed Morsy, shortly after assuming power he was granted a personal meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who communicated President Obama’s “strong support” of his new government. With that in mind, take this quote from Mohamed Morsy just after he was elected to power:

“The Koran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader, jihad is our path and death in the name of Allah is our goal.”

Soon after that quote, President Obama sent word of his strong support for the Morsy government via Hillary Clinton.

Within a year of that support, American embassies are being attacked, and U.S. ambassadors murdered in the name of Allah.

How much worse for America must things be for voters thinking of re-electing Barack Obama to another four years of this madness reconsider and help to remove this dangerous and neglectful president from office in November? How many more embassies must be attacked? How many more American civilians murdered?

How much longer before ALL Americans stand as one and simply say…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Despite Media Hype, No Bounce for Obama in Swing States

Electoral Map for the 2012 Presidential Race:

Politico’s “Unnamed Sources” say Ohio is lost for Mitt Romney. Like hell it is. They say Obama got a serious bounce from the DNC. Like hell he did.

Whatever bounce Obama got was in the blue states. In the swing states, it’s still way too close to call. Today’s Rasmussen poll results show that in the eleven swing states, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, which total 145 electoral votes, it’s Obama 46% and Romney 45%. In 2008, Obama won these states 53% to 46%.

So how does the MSM try to spin the evidence so Obama looks like he’s unbeatable? Let’s look at Ohio, for example. Politico reported (using uncredited sources, of course), that Ohio is lost for Romney:

“Two officials intimately involved in the GOP campaign said Ohio leans clearly in Obama’s favor now.”

I didn’t know Axelrod and Plouffe were working for Romney, but hey, they’ll go where the money is.

But, as usual, Politico was relying on Obama-leaning polls to support their narrative; yesterday the PPP poll (which is always weighted toward Obama because of PPP’s affiliation with the SEIU) showed Obama up by five in Ohio.  Hmmm. According to the Gravis marketing poll taken last Tuesday, Romney was up three in Ohio. Who’s telling the truth?

Consider these:

Example #1.  On August 14, the PPP poll showed Obama up three in Ohio, while the same day Rasmussen Reports showed Romney and Obama tied.

Example #2: Last Monday PPP showed Obama tied with Romney in North Carolina, while the Elon University/Charlotte Observer poll, a local state poll, showed Romney up by four.

But Politico won’t be denied their mission to say whatever they can to disillusion Romney’s base, and they make no bones about using uncredited sources; as Politico reporter Jonathan Martin said last month when Politico quoted unnamed sources in a story about Republicans unhappy about the selection of Paul Ryan (what?????):

We were candid about the sourcing on that, as you mentioned, Howie, and basically say to our readers, ‘Look, folks don’t want to put their names [on] the charges. If you don’t want to read Politico, that’s fine.’

Every race in the swing states is close right now, and the unconscionable skewing of the polls by the MSM shouldn’t discourage Republicans. The MSM has lied before, they are lying now, and they will lie in the future. The Obama campaign has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Romney, they have the power of incumbency, and Romney simply is not going away. And all of this is before Romney has even attacked Obama in ads and the debates.

Hey, Dems, this show ain’t even close to over; we’re just getting warmed up.

Did CNN Rig Its Own Poll?

CNN is grabbing political headlines tonight with the release of its latest poll. It shows Obama surging to a 6-point lead over Romney, 52-46, among likely. Before the start of the Democrat convention, the candidates had been tied in the poll. Since it purportedly confirms a narrative the media is trying to build, i.e. that Obama is starting to pull away with the race, it is getting wide coverage. However, there are a couple of strange things within the poll that cast doubt on its veracity. And, at least one concern warrants a response from CNN.

First, this being a media poll, it has an obvious skew towards Democrats. The partisan breakdown is (D/R/I) 50/45/5. It perhaps isn’t surprising that Obama is leading a D+5 poll by 6 points. Throughout the campaign season, Obama’s margin usually is very close to the partisan skew in the sample. It is surprising, though, that Independents make up only 5% of the sample. Tellingly, Romney leads this group by 14 points.

I’ve seen others suggest that CNN pushes voters to identify with one party or the other, which may account for this. Although, CNN identifies the breakdown of sample numbers as X “registered Democrats” and Y “registered Republicans.” Other polls that push Independents to identify show their work. CNN should as well.

There is another, more serious concern, however, The second question of the poll asks Obama and Romney voters whether their vote is “for” their candidate or “against” the other candidate. The sample size for this question is reported to be (top of page 3):

BASED ON 351 LIKELY VOTERS WHO PLAN TO VOTE FOR OBAMA — SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 5 PERCENTAGE PT

And,

BASED ON 340 LIKELY VOTERS WHO PLAN TO VOTE FOR ROMNEY — SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 5.5 PERCENTAGE PTS

Those numbers didn’t look right to me, considering the headline number reported in the poll. There were 709 Likely Voters in the sample. The 351 votes for Obama is 49.5%. The 340 votes for Romney is 47.9%. In other words, a 50-48 match-up. That’s a lot different than the 52-46 reported in the headlines. Consider: the question to Romney supporters samples more Likely Voters than he received in the head-to-head result.

What could be happening here is that these are the raw counts from the poll interviews, which CNN then “weighted” to reflect certain demographics, etc. Pollster do this often, but it usually results in very minor changes to the overall numbers. If this discrepancy is the result of CNN “weighting” their poll, it would reflect a 4 point swing in the overall results. That’s a very significant change in the outcome. Their weighting added 2 points to Obama’s support and erased 2 points from Romney’s. Combined with a D+5 sample, this is a 9-point edge for Obama, simply from the composition of the poll.

Again, it isn’t unusual to weight a poll, for very legitimate reasons. But if the weighting produces this big of a swing in the final results, you really ought to show your work. CNN doesn’t release its internal demos, but it absolutely needs to in this case. If they don’t, then they’ve just been caught with their thumb on the scale.

Did Michelle’s story about their marital beginnings go too far?

Let’s skip the petty picking of MO copying Ann Romney’s hairstyle to a T (you noticed it too?) and move on to something more substantial. Like using contrast in a story that can sometimes be considered outright lying- Where much depends on the venue where the story is being spoken; casual dining room conversation with friends or a televised political event spoken as the wife of the president asking for your vote relating a delusional memory to tens of millions of people. Shall we?

It was reported:

First Lady Michelle Obama’s pitch to voters Thursday night relied on the premise that she and her husband understand what it is to struggle to make ends meet. She spoke movingly about their early years–about how a young Barack Obama drove a car that was “rusted out” and found his furniture “in a dumpster,” how they both came from families that had to “scrape by.” Her fairy tale–however well-delivered–was one great, big, colorful LIE.

NOW HERE’S THE STORY:

“Both Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama began their adult lives with a leg up on the rest of America. They attended elite schools: Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society. They were accepted to Ivy League schools despite undistinguished credentials, and both attended Harvard Law School.”

“[B]elieve it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” Michelle said. That sounds like a raw deal–but in fact reflects their fortunate circumstances. They had both just graduated from a very expensive law school, and their combined income from cushy law firm jobs dwarfed the repayments. Barack also soon enjoyed a second salary from the University of Chicago.

“They had expensive tastes, reflected in the $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought in 1993–a high price even by today’s standards. Several years later, they moved into their $1.65 million mansion in Hyde Park–with the help of fraudster Tony Rezko. Barack often told a story of hardship on the campaign trail in 2008 about having his credit card declined–once. The fact that he thought this counted as real hardship speaks volumes.

>>Now settle down- let’s not get all teary eyed reaching for a hanky thinking about Obama having his credit card declined ONCE- Oh the horror!  He didn’t say the waiter or the clerk used a pr of scissors cutting the card in half in front of him in a restaurant or is a store while people were watching did he?

No- for that matter, we don’t even know IF the story is true?

“As her husband moved onto the national political stage, Michelle Obama began to enjoy a lavish lifestyle at taxpayer expense, directly and indirectly. When Barack Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he obtained a $1 million earmark for the University of Chicago Hospital–and his wife’s salary as Vice President for Community Affairs jumped from $121,910 to $316,962. Her job: pushing poor, uninsured patients to other hospitals.”

>>>How brilliant is that? Barack’s addiction to Tax payer money was learned at the gound floor level beginning with his first year as a Chicago State Senator finding ways of using tax payer money to line his own pockets benefiting their overall joint income..

“As First Lady, Michelle Obama has lived high on the hog while the rest of the country has suffered through an extraordinary recession. In 2010, she and her entourage decamped to Spain for a lavish vacation. That summer, the Obamas encouraged Americans to visit the Gulf coast after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which threatened tourism in the region. They promptly jetted off to Maine for their own summer holiday.”

>>>Do we really understand the meaning of the word “lavish”?   To some it could mean going on a spending spree to WalMart and spending $200.00 on flowers and yard art-

To others it could mean a NO holds barred family vacation for a week in DisneyLand, pretty pricy at $8 to $10K on the credit card and paying it off in 30 days. I think we need to see what the Obama’s consider necessary to their sensibilities for a “lavish” vacation in S- ‘pain’.

I Love my Golden watchdog- although, he is better suited as a Target greeter. Forget that for a moment… back to the point- Grab a chair, yes an ’empty” one and sit yourself down!

If you have a cocktail handy, yes it is appropriate-

Here it is:

Michelle spent… remembering this is OUR money.. $470K on her vacation with friends to Spain.

“First lady Michelle Obama’s 2010 trip to Spain cost taxpayers nearly $470,000, according to a conservative watchdog group that obtained Secret Service records from the overseas excursion.”

>>>Thankfully, Michelle and Barack have come to their senses and:

>>>Which demonstrated to the American people they are feeling our pain.. their thrift, spending a less hefty sum costing the Tax Payers only $83K for Michelle and her daughters Aspen trip playing in the Colorado snow. Does it not snow at Camp David? What a photo op it would have been- while Daddy was busy working hard on issues of State and International Affairs; Mommy and the girls were skiing and tobogganing in the snow in the back yard at Camp David at Z-RO cost to the Tax payers… a golden opportunity fumbled.

“This summer, the Obamas skipped their usual summer trip to the wealthy playground of Martha’s Vineyard–months after Michelle and her daughters had enjoyed an expensive winter skiing trip in Aspen. And, of course, there are the frequent pilgrimages to Hawaii,  Some of their family’s comfort, of course, comes from private income, principally Barack Obama’s book sales–yet even that wealth is a spin-off of Obama’s political career.”

“If, as the Democrats eagerly pointing out, Mitt Romney enjoyed the privilege of private wealth, the Obamas have enjoyed privilege funded by public money and public life. And until entering the national spotlight, they gave little to charity, contributing instead to a church that preached racial grievance.

“[T]ruth matters,” Michelle Obama told the nation last night. That, too, is a LIE–because so far, she has evaded it without consequence.

OBAMA WILL LEAVE OVAL OFFICE…

HOW MANY TIMES HAS BARACK BEEN WARNED?

U.S. Jobs Growth Slows In August

WASHINGTON — U.S. jobs growth slowed more than expected in August, setting the stage for the Federal Reserve to pump additional money into the sluggish economy next week and dealing a blow to President Obama as he seeks reelection in November.

Nonfarm payrolls increased only 96,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. While the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, it was largely due to Americans giving up the search for work.

The report’s weak tenor was also underscored by revisions to June and July data to show 41,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported. The labor force participation rate, or the percentage of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one, fell to 63.5 percent — the lowest since September 1981.

The lackluster report keeps the pressure on Obama ahead of the November vote in which the health of the economy looms large.

Economists polled by Reuters had expected payrolls to rise 125,000 last month, but some had pushed their forecasts higher after upbeat data on Thursday.

The economy has experienced three years of growth since the 2007-09 recession, but the expansion has been grudging and the jobless rate has held above 8 percent for more than three years — the longest stretch since the Great Depression.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke last week said the labor market’s stagnation was a “grave concern,” a comment that raised expectations for a further easing of monetary policy as soon as the central bank’s meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.

The jobless rate peaked at 10 percent in October 2009, but progress reducing it stalled this year, threatening Obama’s bid for a second term. An online Reuters/Ipsos poll on Thursday gave Republican challenger Mitt Romney a 1-point edge on Obama, 45 percent to 44 percent.

The lack of headway putting Americans back to work has also put the question of further monetary stimulus on the table at the Fed. The central bank has held interest rates close to zero for nearly four years and pumped about $2.3 trillion into the economy through two bouts of bond buying.

The weak report makes it more likely that the Fed will launch a third round of bond purchases next week. Since the beginning of the year, job growth has averaged 139,000 per month, compared with an average monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011.

Economists blame fears of the so-called U.S. fiscal cliff — the $500 billion or so in expiring tax cuts and government spending reductions set to take hold at the start of next year unless Congress acts — and Europe’s long-running debt problems, for the slowdown in hiring.

Job creation last month was weak across the board, with manufacturing payrolls down 15,000, the first decline since September 2011. Factory jobs were inflated in July because automobile manufacturers kept plants running when they would normally shut them for retooling, economists said.

There was little improvement in construction employment, which added 1,000 jobs. Temporary hiring fell 4,900, declining for the first time since March.

Utilities payrolls saw a snap back, adding 8,800 after being depressed by the strike of about 9,000 workers in July.

In Case You Missed the Show Last Night…

and the subtlety of Bill Clinton’s speech at the Dem Convention… Here are a few things you ought to know before you berate Bill Clinton for his glorious rabble rousing speech about Barack Obama. First of all- I have Bill Clinton’s speech here in it’s entirety. The Fact Checking has been done.

If you want a lesson from a master political strategist, politician, diplomat, statesman, former governor, former president, former leader of the FREE World… Here’s your chance.. Listen to the roar of the crowd and the speech while you read- you can do one or the other; listen to the speech first or read the FACT CHECKER Results tracking Bill Clinton’s statements in his speech…then listen to the speech, whichever you prefer-

Fact-Checking Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton mentioned  Fact Checkers last night in the above video @ 38:38  He said Romney’s campaign poster said “We are not going to let our campaign be dictated by Fact-Checkers.”  Well- here are documented facts that have been checked and verified pointing out ALL the things Obama DIDN’T DO-  that was the point.  A little reverse psychology exposing the TRUE Facts,  if you please-

The former president began his DNC speech mocking the the very idea of self empowerment and individual success. After seeming to imply that he could work better with compromise than the man he was nominating, he launched into his trademark rhetoric:

In Tampa, we heard a lot of talk about how the President and the Democrats don’t believe in free enterprise and individual initiative, how we want everyone to be dependent on the government, how bad we are for the economy.

[…]

We Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think “we’re all in this together” is a better philosophy than “you’re on your own.”

Unfortunately for Clinton, the facts work against him. Under Barack Obama, more people than ever before have been reduced to government dependency. Offering meager entitlements in exchange for a chunk of self sovereignty is not only bad for the economy, it’s antithetical to the spirit with which America was founded.

Clinton tried to claim credit on behalf of the Democrats concerning jobs and touted his own record — that wasn’t possible without a Republican controlled-congress which passed welfare reform and balanced the budget in spite of him, not because of him.

Clinton attacked the tea party:

Unfortunately, the faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesn’t see it that way. They think government is the enemy, and compromise is weakness.

I don’t get it: either the tea party is dead or it’s all-powerful and controls the GOP. If the Republican party is dominated by the tea party, why is their presidential candidate a moderate?

Clinton remarked that Obama has done wonders for our economy:

I like the argument for President Obama’s re-election a lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators. Are we where we want to be? No. Is the President satisfied? No. Are we better off than we were when he took office, with an economy in free fall, losing 750,000 jobs a month. The answer is YES.

Let’s see:

– a $16 trillion-dollar debt

– 740k women driven from the workforce

– more Americans than ever on government assistance

– shrinking workforce

– devaluing the dollar

We’re better off ?  Really?

Clinton tried shifting the blame to Bush. Again, the facts do not support Clinton’s assertions:

In the wake of a recession that began roughly seven weeks after President Bush took office, America experienced six years of uninterrupted economic growth and a record 52 straight months of job creation that produced more than 8 million new jobs. During the Bush presidency, the unemployment rate averaged 5.3 percent. We saw labor-productivity gains that averaged 2.5 percent annually — a rate that exceeds the averages of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Real after-tax income per capita increased by more than 11 percent. And from 2000 to 2007, real GDP grew by more than 17 percent, a gain of nearly $2.1 trillion.

As for Obama’s claim that Bush “turned a budget surplus into a deficit”: by January 2001, when Bush was inaugurated, the budget surpluses were already evaporating as the economy was skidding toward recession (it officially began in March 2001). Combined with the devastating economic effects of 9/11, when we lost around 1 million jobs over 90 days, the surplus went into deficit.

Rather than whine incessantly about the situation, President Bush proposed policies that triggered the kind of sustained growth that saw the deficit fall to 1 percent of GDP ($162 billion) by 2007. Indeed, before the financial crisis of 2008 – which I’ll return to in a moment — Bush’s budget deficits were 0.6 percentage points below the historical average. (My former White House colleague Keith Hennessey eviscerates Obama’s assertion that we faced a “decade of spiraling deficits” here).

Now let’s consider Mr. Obama’s record: an unemployment rate of 9.5 percent, with 131,000 jobs lost in July, during our so-called Recovery Summer (Vice President Biden promised us up to 500,000 new jobs a month back in April). The overall unemployment rate, incorporating people who want jobs but did not look during July, is now 16.5 percent.

Clinton claimed Obama saved the auto industry, another misspeak:

The auto industry restructuring worked. It saved more than a million jobs, not just at GM, Chrysler and their dealerships, but in auto parts manufacturing all over the country

Except a number of Chrysler plants are now in Mexico and over 61% of Chrysler is owned by an Italian company. The auto bailout is widely considered a failure.

GM is once again flirting with bankruptcy despite massive government purchases propping up its sales figures. GM stock is rock-bottom. Losses continue to be revised in the wrong direction. According to the Detroit News, “the Treasury Department says in a new report the government expects to lose more than $25 billion on the $85 billion auto bailout. That’s 15 percent higher than its previous forecast.”

He also misspoke about domestic energy:

President Obama’s “all of the above” energy plan is helping too – the boom in oil and gas production combined with greater energy efficiency has driven oil imports to a near 20 year low and natural gas production to an all time high. Renewable energy production has also doubled.

The fact? Oil production increased ONLY on private and state-owned land. Federally-controlled land?  Stagnant. That oil imports are low is due to these private and state-run producers, in spite  of  Obama, not because of him, a refrain you will hear repeated with regard to Democrat policies.

Democrats talk of alternative energy but are content to ship those jobs overseas, along with our stimulus money. Instead of enslaving us to Persian Gulf oil, they’ll enslave us to China’s rare earth metals.

On Obamacare, Clinton claimed:

More than 3 million young people between 19 and 25 are insured for the first time because their parents can now carry them on family policies. Millions of seniors are receiving preventive care including breast cancer screenings and tests for heart problems.

In his closing remarks, Clinton threw out a few new phrases which have become hallmarks of modern progressive, socialist-Democrats [my emphasis]:

If you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities – a “we’re all in it together” society, you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

If you want a future of shared prosperity … As well as the phrase “fair and equal sharing” (my addition)” don’t vote for the Obama/Biden ticket.

Breitbart has helped expedite the necessary time and effort for fact checking and noting the corrections in Bill’s speech last night.

Why is Obama Using Chicago Police At North Carolina DNC Convention?

A Fox News reporter just shared information regarding a considerable contingent of Chicago police inside the DNC convention center in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Yet another Obama related act that makes one go hmm…

CHICAGO POLICE AT THE NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION PROTECTING  Mr. Important!

by Greta Van Susteren

Gretawire reporting she was e-mailed a note by FNC’s Chad Pergram

Saying Below:

Just an interesting note:

There are lots of police here from other organizations. But at the convention center, Chicago Police are here….not just folks from across the state or South Carolina.

__________________________________

What Greta’s commentators are saying: (exactly what we are thinking)

“How comforting to know they are using cops from the city with the highest murder rate in the nation.” 350 murders this year in Chicago, they can hardly lose their police to the messiah”

“They should stay home and patrol their own streets. They are the worst state for crime in the country.”

“Just watch the Democrats are playing this one up like they need security….they may have free speech problems. Remember Obama passed a bill after the shooting of Gabby Giffords that if anyone makes derogatory comments towards a politician will be charged with a felony!”
(so what is Obama’s definition of derogatory? Obama with the Chimpy Ears?)

“Fox report that the dems are busing Blacks in from poor area around Charlotte so the seats will look full to avoid comments from the right and do their usual lying image.”

“They have to do that because no one wants to be there. Look who is showing up. Real speakers are few and far between.”

PROVING- OBAMA COULD NOT CARELESS ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF!

As the Titanic is sinking Obama pushes men, women and children aside for the Mega-Me and his entourage, the only ones worthy of surviving the disaster he created. Heading for Hawaii, eh? Who’s name is on the title of the new home in Hawaii… certainly, NOT OBAMA’S!  nooooo!

Clinton: Nothing Could Be More Frightening Than Four More Years

by Tellurian

Great headline- however the message beneath it from Breitbart misses the mark…We have a former duly elected president scheduled to speak on Wednesday evening forced into giving a rousing speech for the “Head” of the Democratic Party. Has anyone forgotten the man he will be promoting had his surrogates call the ‘President of Peace and Prosperity’ with an office residing in Harlem, a RACIST? The man he is looking to- to rescue his failing presidency using his influence and prestige expecting President Clinton to gloss over the warts and boils of the Obama presidency. We haven’t forgotten the Clintons were held hostage to the barbs and humiliating headlines blaring across the Tabloids with media ads launched against Hillary Rodham Clinton as she ran a “CLEAN” campaign telling potential voters the “TRUTH” coupled with a VIABLE PLAN running on the issues. Does Obama really expect this? How would Obama handle the same situation if the roles were reversed? We have read how Obama handles the people who gave him money and support when he wanted to open a campaign office for his first run for State Senator in Chicago- Fish Eyes! He gives them the look seen in dead fish eyes and treats them like lepers from Devil’s Island. Chummers-

Of course we can’t expect Obama to run on his record- Why further depress an audience that has been bussed in from around the country filling hundreds of potentially empty seats? OBAMA MAY BE A FAILURE- But he is NOT STUPID-

I fully intend to watch and listen to my favorite 20th century president’s speech tomorrow night. Why? To learn from him on how you deal with a dirty low down rotten piece of garbage who happens to be the president of the United States. I want to hear him planting zingers not kisses on the worst president ever to be elected in the history of the US and learn from the best  how it’s done.

TODAY is National Empty Chair Day- Clint inspires American Activism…

SET YOUR EMPTY CHAIRS ON THE FRONT LAWN-

Hours after Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac on Friday, White House press secretary Jay Carney announced President Barack Obama would call an audible in his schedule and visit Louisiana on Monday to assess the storm’s damage.

Obama’s leading-from-behind reaction to Romney’s visit reaffirmed Clint Eastwood’s empty chair analogy, which upset the mainstream media, the iconic actor used Thursday night at the Republican National Convention when discussing Obama and his presidency.

“The empty-chair analogy by Clint Eastwood might be far more accurate and impactful than the Obama campaign and its cheerleaders in the media care to accept,” the insightful Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus wrote.

The mainstream media juxtaposed images of Hurricane Issac hitting Louisiana next to images of the RNC throughout the week, and they continued to stress the seriousness of the storm. Mainstream media networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and PBS reminded their viewers of Hurricane Katrina, and blamed former President George W. Bush for his inaction during Katrina.

Yet Obama spent the week campaigning in crucial swing states like Iowa, Colorado, and Virginia (Louisiana is not a swing state). He even took some time to chat online, proposing a constitutional amendment to restrict political speech while on Reddit, an online link-sharing community. He never once visited Louisiana.

And the mainstream media gave Obama a complete pass.

“When somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go,” Eastwood said Thursday night, in comments that could resonate more in light of Obama’s inaction during and after Hurricane Issac.

MOVIE REVIEW by H. HAWKE of Dinesh D’Souza’s movie “2016”
here or at the Movie and Book Review Section at the top of the page

Is DOJ ‘Community Organizing’ Occupy Activists at the RNC?

What are uniformed field representatives of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Relations Service (CRS) doing assisting Occupy/anarchist activists outside the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Tampa?

Exclusive video captured by Breitbart News during Occupy/anarchist demonstrations outside the RNC Tuesday shows CRS field representatives, wearing DOJ logo polo shirts and hats, conversing with Occupy protesters.

In one case, a CRS representative and protester are seen to high-five each other.

CRS representatives are also seen relaying specific instructions to the activists about the location of prearranged buses that were apparently taking them to their next scheduled demonstration.

CRS’s mission, as expressed on its website, is to be a “‘peacemaker’ for community conflicts and tensions.” CRS was created as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a conflict resolution body dealing specifically with community uprisings over racial issues. Its jurisdiction was later expanded as part of The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, signed into law by President Obama, which lists the areas in which the CRS can act as including issues of “race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.”

The purpose of CRS is to mediate in ongoing disputes–not to foment them, or to become participants. However, there is evidence that the Obama administration may be using CRS as a quiet community organizing force.

UPDATE: ON THE RNC’s SECRET POWER GRAB

RNC Rules Fight – After Action Report:

First let me say thank-you, thank-you to conservatives everywhere who spoke up and started a national firestorm over this issue. If you’re like me, you know just how important it is to the future of the conservative movement.

With the Rules meeting itself, the first problem was attendance. Many, many of our supporters simply didn’t make it there do to buses that were up to an hour late to pick them up, (Morton Blackwell of Virginia had this problems). Many of them who didn’t make it would have been additional signatures to our petition. But they started the meeting anyway, introducing a motion to ratify the final report of last Friday with the exception of the rule 16 compromise language taking out candidate veto power over delegates. This final motion passed.

As the meeting was going on, we were circulating our minority report petition. At one point, the male delegate from Massachusetts snatched it out of the hands ot the lady from North Dakota, refusing to give it back after repeated demands, resulting in a shoving match when the delegate from Colorado came to her defense.

After the final vote was over, according to party rules, we had one hour to file our minority reports, and, according to Rules, they have to be filed with either the committee chair, secretary, or convention secretary. Of course, after the meeting, they were no where to be found.

We continued to pick up signatures after the meeting, getting up to 24 for our Rule 12 minority report… but 4 shy of what would have been needed. Again, many people simply weren’t there. Others had their arms twisted. And others, as I learned, were simply “replaced” on the committee by their delegations.

On the Rule 16 issue, we had enough – IF we could have submitted something on paper – but again, no one there…or to be found. So our only option was to re-submit, via email, the pdf of what we submitted last Friday. We emailed this to Sunnunu and the convention secretary. The problem however would have been that it had 29 signatures, but since Friday, 2 members asked to have their names removed, so it would have been a no-go.

After the vote on the convention floor, it occurred to me that we probably should have just told everyone to “vote no” on the rules entirely…and yell “division” to force a head count…if the rules failed, a new motion substituting the old rules may have been in order… but hindsight is 20-20.

The upside is that as a result of shining a light on what was going on and alerting everyone to it, we were able to force a compromise to get the worst part of the proposed changes removed, (the change that would let campaigns have veto power over delegates).

The downside is that all of the rest of the garbage went through, (i.e. letting the RNC change the rules between conventions, removing a March proportionality rule that will result in a massive front-loaded national primary in 4 or 8 years, forcing some caucus/convention states to bind delegates against their own rules and state law, etc..).

Worst yet, due to the RNC’s new power to change the rules, the [genie] is out of the bottle and, who knows, a proposal for candidates to have delegate veto power may yet be in our future.

This whole debacle verifies what I call “Drew McKissick’s unified theory of political power” – Those who get involved and stay involved have the power. Even idiots eventually get promoted up the chain to their level of incompetence if for no other reason that there is so much apathy that “somebody” has to fill xyz position and “hey, this guy always shows up, give it to him”. And there you go.

The takeaway for conservatives is this:

GET INVOLVED – AND STAY INVOLVED.

Yes, those boring old precinct meetings matter. Going to county party meetings matters. Running for delegate matters. Who your delegates pick for Platform and Rules Committees REALLY MATTERS. Show up…support good people who can’t be bullied.

Right now we have a campaign – or many campaigns – to win this November. And conservatives should do everything they can to win. But after Election Day remember, the candidates represent the party, not the other way around.

Keep the heat on, and keep them honest. This shook people up. Keep them that way.

Thanks again for all of the support. You have no idea how much it meant.

Sincerely,
Drew McKissick
Delegate, SC
……………………….

We will continue watching this story for further developments and posting updates as they become available… STAY TUNED!

Floor fight: Grass-roots activists battle attempt to rig RNC delegate rules:

The fight that went unnoticed last night at the GOP Convention.. Instead, media focused on Ron Paul delegates

Updated: Palin: “direct attack on the grass-roots;” RNC power grab showdown; Rules Cmte votes 78-14 for deal; dissidents gather signatures for floor fight; Boehner/Sununu declare”no objections” over massive boos on the floor.

(ht/Michelle Malkin
Last night:
8/28… Rules Committee adopts compromises, floor fight squashed as Boehner/Sununu approve rules report over massive boos on convention floor.

Drew McKissick is a longtime conservative activist and blogger who is in attendance at the Republican National Convention’s Rules Committee meetings. He and others on the ground are sounding the alarm over rules changes that he and many other attendees believe will hurt grass-roots movement conservatives.

The battle is being cast by some observers as a narrow fight between Ron Paul advocates and the rest of the party. Drew says that’s NOT TRUE.

And many other state delegations who oppose top-down delegate choices are chiming in.

First, here’s Drew’s call to arms (my emphasis added in bold):

Fellow conservatives,

Those who are in Tampa working to maintain the influence of grassroots conservatives in the Republican Party need your help!

This past Friday, the RNC’s Convention Rules Committee voted – after several contentious votes – to change the party’s rules to allow future presidential candidates to have veto power over who can be delegates from any state – in other words, take power away from the grassroots and their ability to elect fellow conservatives as delegates.

This represents a brazen move by several Washington Beltway consultants and party insiders to diminish the power and influence of conservatives over the party.

At least 29 members of this committee are filing Minority Reports to the full convention to try and make sure that these changes are NOT adopted into the final changes the full convention will approve on Tuesday. But we need your help to spread the word. 28 members are required to issue a minority report for the convention to even consider…and you can be sure others are working behind the scenes to peel some of them off before the meeting…so we need to create pressure for others to join!

Let me stop here and say that this is NOT…REPEAT NOT a move by a bunch of disgruntled Ron Paul supporters. This is a group of long-time conservative activists, even “party regulars” and lots of Romney supporters, many who go back to the Goldwater days.

We need to generate enough PUBLIC PRESSURE from grassroots conservatives that they will back off before Tusday’s meeting and withdraw their changes so that we can avoid the need for a minority report and floor fight [altogether].

Here’s what we need before Tuesday’s session of the convention:
1) We need all conservative Republican grassroots supporters to contact their state GOP and let them know that they OPPOSE the rules change that will give future presidential campaigns control over who gets to be a delegate (current RULE 15, but is being renumbered to 16)…and OPPOSE the new RULE 12 which allows the RNC to change the rules at any time between conventions.

2) We need them to contact any DELEGATES to the convention they may know and tell them they OPPOSE the rules change and want them to support a move on the floor to amend this change via the MINORITY REPORTS – and support a demand for a ROLL CALL VOTE if necessary.

3) We need them to contact the CONVENTION RULES COMMITTEE members for their state (each state has two) and tell them they want them to SIGN THE MINORITY REPORTS before Tuesday’s session at 2:00PM. You can find a copy of the list here.

4) Finally, we would like them to help us spread the word that this is an insider power grab by a bunch of DC Beltway types who want consultants to be able to pick who the delegates are from their respective states in the future – AS WELL AS FUTURE PLATFORM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. Post a link to this page on Facebook and Twitter…spread the word on the media…COMPLAIN. Let everyone know this is wrong, and that it is ANTI-GRASSROOTS!

Here’s a piece on the Texas GOP delegation revolting against the proposed changes:

Texans bristle at proposed change in selecting delegates

By Tim Eaton | Monday, August 27, 2012

TAMPA, Fla. — Republican convention-goers have a light first day today thanks to an earlier threat from Hurricane Isaac that changed the schedule. As the storm took a track away from this Gulf coast town, one issue was causing concern among the Texas delegation.

It sounds pretty technical, but the national party leaders are trying to change a convention rule that would alter that way delegates are chosen. If approved in the coming days, the change would allow the presumptive presidential nominee to have the final say over each state’s delegates, said Steve Munisteri, chairman of the Republican Party of Texas.

The Texas delegation is livid. At a morning meeting of Texas delegates, Munisteri and a boisterous crowd discussed how the proposed change would affect the way Texans might send delegates to future conventions.

We will be “told how to select our delegates,” Munisteri said.

Texas prides itself on being a state party whose members choose who will go the national convention. It’s a grassroots — versus top-town — approach, said James Dickey, an at-large alternate from Bee Cave.

Dickey said the result of the change, if it is approved, could be drastic.

“It would dampen enthusiasm a lot,” Dickey said. “It would dampen excitement about running to be a delegate.”

With the support of Texas’ delegates, Munisteri said he’s ready to take the fight to the floor of the convention.

In a letter to the national rules committee, the Texas delegation said: “The only way a floor fight can be avoided is if the rule is stricken.”

An email to the party was not returned, but Munisteri said the thinking behind the proposal was to ensure delegates vote for the candidate they are supposed to support in the nomination process.

The national party has been trying to dissuade states from objecting to what some people see as a power-grab by the national party, Munisteri said.

He added that it is ironic that a party that is supposed to be opposed to heavy-handed oversight would try to employ such a tactic.

“Somebody needs to wake up, and it’s not Texas,” said Butch Davis, a Texas representative to the national rules committee.

Supporters of the failed candidacy of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul are equally upset about the proposed rule change.

Tobey Pedford, an alternate from Oklahoma City, said after a Paul rally on Sunday that he too would fight the proposal by the national leaders.

“They’re trying to go back to the smoke-filled room,” he said. “We can’t allow it.”

The publication:

FREEDOM WORKSis on the scene. Many Romney supporters are now coming forward to disavow the Romney campaign-led effort:

“We’re asking activists to talk to every state party leader. The worry here is that you’re flipping the whole process on its head. It used to be that the grassroots chose the delegates, and the delegates choose the candidates. They’re essentially creating a rule where the candidate can disavow any delegate that doesn’t tow the line,” Kibbe said.”

Michelle Malkin has the rest of the story @ link

All of the above is a recount of what happened last night in Tampa that has gone Under-reported by mainstream media- Or should I say, covered up by MSM?

Chaos Erupts on Convention Floor Over Ron Paul Delegates…

BUT THAT IS NOT THE REAL STORY… THIS IS THE REAL STORY.. 

Palin: Rules Change ‘Attack on Grassroots’ This story is NOT getting the play it deserves… Changing the Rules is a hybrid action mimicking what happened to Hillary Clinton in May 08′ resulting in stolen delegates.

 

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined a chorus of grassroots conservatives in calling for two proposed rule changes, backed by the top brass of Mitt Romney’s campaign, to be rejected on the floor of the Republican National Convention. Palin said the two proposed rule changes that would impact delegates and would allow the RNC to change the party rules in between conventions in the future were “very disappointing” and “must be rejected.”

“It’s a direct attack on grassroots activists by the GOP establishment, and it must be rejected,” Palin wrote in a Facebook note after spending a day in Arizona campaigning before thousands for Arizona House candidate Kirk Adams (R). “Without the energy and wisdom of the grassroots, the GOP would not have had the historic 2010 electoral victories. That’s why the controversial rule change being debated at the RNC convention right now is so very disappointing.

“We have to remember that this election is not just about replacing the party in power. It’s about who and what we replace it with.”

Palin then linked to Michelle Malkin’s thorough, real-time updates concerning the looming fight over the proposed rule changes.

On Friday, Republican officials associated with the Romney campaign strong-armed two rule changes into the draft platform. The first rule would have effectively allowed future presidential candidates — and not states — to choose the delegates that represent them. In what appears to be a compromise, the text of the rule has been changed to allow states to still select delegates.

Of more concern, though, is Rule 12, and the compromise on selecting delegates will be moot if Rule 12 remains in place.

Rule 12 would allow the RNC to change the rules between conventions if 75% of committee members agree to do so. Since committee members usually agree to what the RNC chair wants, this effectively is a rubber stamp that allows the RNC to amend the rules whenever it wants.

“As long as the proposed Rule 12 remains in place, this ‘deal’ or ‘compromise’ must be a no-go,” Malkin wrote. “Don’t back down, activists!”

Conservative talk radio host and author Mark Levin said: “the power grab was akin to something President Barack Obama would do.”

 

“Conservatives of all stripes, especially Tea Party activists, this is an attempt to destroy your ability to influence the presidential and vice presidential nomination process in the Republican Party,” Levin wrote. “It is an attempt to eviscerate the input of state parties. It is a brazen assault on the grassroots. And it is sleazy to the core.”

A Romney delegate from Georgia, Julianne Thompson, wrote that the Republican establishment was “essentially striking the first blow that chips” away at the freedoms Republicans have been fighting for by disenfranchising “the very people that turned the tide for the GOP in 2010 by returning power in the U.S. House of Representatives to Republicans.”

Thompson noted that this rule change would allow large campaign donors to be rewarded with delegate positions, which would be given out like ambassadorships.

 

In a letter to the national rules committee, the Texas delegation said: “The only way a floor fight can be avoided is if the rule is stricken.”

Prominent conservatives noted that these objections were not being made “by a bunch of disgruntled Ron Paul supporters,” but by “a group of long-time conservative activists, even ‘party regulars’ and lots of Romney supporters, many who go back to the Goldwater days.”

Morton Blackwell, an influential conservative from Virginia who worked in the Reagan administration, said the rules could “fundamentally change our Republican Party — and not for the better.”

“These rule changes are the most awful I’ve ever seen come before any National Convention,” Blackwell wrote. “This fight is too important to not make a stand.”

Six states’ delegations must insist on a roll call vote for Rule 12 to be stricken.

On an appearance on FOX News’ “Hannity” on Monday from Arizona, Palin talked about how important the grassroots are to the future of the party and country.

“We need people to agree with the sudden and relentless reform that is needed to tackle the problems in D.C.,” Palin said. “The status quo has got to go.”

Sarah Palin Warns Conservatives Obama Must Go – Vote Romney

Conservative and Tea Party favorite Governor Sarah Palin makes it clear to any voters still sitting on the fence regarding who to support in the upcoming presidential election that in the choice between Romney or Obama – the choice is clear.  OBAMA MUST GO.  And to voters who are threatening to sit out this election – Palin makes it equally clear that such a thing is simply not an option during such an important election in America’s history.  Go to the 6:50 mark to see Governor Palin’s warning to those potential non-voters:

WASHINGTON GOES TO THE MOON… 1961

 

Neil Alden Armstrong August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012

On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced before a special joint session of Congress the dramatic and ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade.

A number of political factors affected Kennedy’s decision and the timing of it. In general, Kennedy felt great pressure to have the United States “catch up to and overtake” the Soviet Union in the “space race.” Four years after the Sputnik shock of 1957, the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human in space on April 12, 1961, greatly embarrassing the U.S. While Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, he only flew on a short suborbital flight instead of orbiting the Earth, as Gagarin had done.

In addition, the Bay of Pigs fiasco in mid-April put unquantifiable pressure on Kennedy. He wanted to announce a program that the U.S. had a strong chance at achieving before the Soviet Union. After consulting with Vice President Johnson, NASA Administrator James Webb, and other officials, he concluded that landing an American on the Moon would be a very challenging technological feat, but an area of space exploration in which the U.S. actually had a potential lead. Thus the cold war is the primary contextual lens through which many historians now view Kennedy’s speech.

The decision involved much consideration before making it public, as well as enormous human efforts and expenditures to make what became Project Apollo a reality by 1969. Only the construction of the Panama Canal in modern peacetime and the Manhattan Project in war were comparable in scope. NASA’s overall human spaceflight efforts were guided by Kennedy’s speech; Projects Mercury (at least in its latter stages), Gemini, and Apollo were designed to execute Kennedy’s goal.

His goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module’s ladder and onto the Moon’s surface.

 

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” Armstrong said..July 20, 1969

The public policy issues behind the Apollo Space Program:

These are two documentaries, each an hour long, about aspects of the Apollo 11 Moon landing story that never get told. Apollo is always the story of the people at Mission Control and Neil Armstrong and the engineers that accomplished this incredible technological feat. Very few people then look at what happened in Washington, DC. We very nearly didn’t go for political reasons inside the Beltway. The political problems of maintaining a coalition of support to fund the program were just a difficult as were the technical problems that the engineers in the field were facing.

Paul Ryan ‘To Do-Nothing Obama’: “PUT UP OR SHUT UP”

Congressman Paul Ryan, recently announced as Mitt Romney’s GOP running mate, is making it clear his views regarding Barack Obama’s do-nothing White House and the impending fiscal crisis and disastrous cuts to the U.S. military because of Barack Obama’s penchant for always playing politics even when endangering the near-term future of the United States.

EXCERPT:

Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday condemned President Obama in his harshest terms yet for forcing mandatory defense cuts into last summer’s agreement to raise the debt ceiling, saying that Congress has told the president to “put up or shut up” by disclosing how the cuts would be implemented.

Ryan was referring to the Sequestration Transparency Act, a bill that passed both the House and Senate by a bipartisan vote in late July. The president signed it earlier this month, though administration officials have said Congress should devote its energy to avoiding the so-called looming “fiscal cliff” instead of simply probing for details on the consequences.

“The president needs to show us how he plans on putting this in place if he is not going to help us pass legislation preventing it in the first place, so we’re now waiting for that answer,” Ryan said during a roundtable in Fayetteville, home to Fort Bragg.

LINK

What Barack Obama is attempting is to force a budget showdown with Congress shortly before the Novembe election in the hopes the media will spin Obama favorably and the Republicans negatively. What the media is currently unwilling to share with the American public is just what Paul Ryan is pointing to in his most recent quote – a bi-partisan compromise has been reached already between leaders in Congress indicating, at least among some, a willingness to work together to avoid the fiscal disaster of a prolonged budget showdown.

It should also be noted that Barack Obama is threatening massive cuts to the American military while at the same time declaring the very real possibility of using that same military to act against Syria. Has there ever been a Commander in Chief so dismissive of the imporance of American defense while at the same time equally willing to use that military as a political propoganda to further his own re-election hopes?

Remember, it was then-candidate Obama who accused the American military of simply “air raiding villages and killing civilians” in Afghanistan.

Shocking: Obama Adds Military Heroes to ‘Enemies List’ (for an UP-date on Big Pink… read in comments)

President Barack Obama has added military heroes to his “enemies list,” singling out veterans’ groups such as Special Operations for America and Veterans for a Strong America on his campaign website, much as he singled out donors to Republican rival Mitt Romney for attack. Several veterans’ groups have spoken out against the Obama administration’s habit of taking credit for the Osama bin Laden raid and leaking military secrets for political gain–so the Obama campaign is trying to shoot the messenger.

The charge made by the Obama campaign is that the veterans’ groups are “Swift Boat 2.0”–referring to the group that launched a series of ads (never refuted) in 2004 contesting claims by then-Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry about his war record. Left-wing groups aligned with the Obama administration have even gone so far as to call the U.S. Navy Seals “gutless” for their participation in criticism of Obama.

Ryan Zinke, a member of the Montana state Senate and a U.S. Navy SEAL from 1985 to 2008, told Breitbart News: “It’s a sad time for America when a President has to resort to bully tactics, intimidation, and misleading personal attacks against anyone who dares to speak out and be heard. The good thing is Americans have a long history of defeating tyrants.”

Radical Muslims joining with DNC..

Starting at the end of this month the Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam.  20,000 Muslims are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political.  ”Jumah at the DNC” begins August 29 and will start with a Friday afternoon jummah prayer followed by other unnamed programs and events, leading up to the Islamic Regal Banquet. The following day will be an all day Islamic Cultural and Fun Fest which will include discussions on the topics of Islamaphobia, Anti-Shariah, Middle Eastern Crisis, Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and more.  The purpose, according to BIMA, is to attract national and international attention to the plight of American Muslims and to hold political parties accountable for issues that affect them.  However, not all Muslims feel that BIMA represents them and M. Zuhdi Jasser M.D., Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, has expressed serious concerns.

It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates. They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and have demonstrated support for radical ideologies.

A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American Islamist movement. While they may be able to get a few thousand Muslims to attend the event, they are NOT going to be mainstream Muslims.  Most will likely come from Hough and Wahhaj’s radical networks that have long been entrenched in the Charlotte area. Make no mistake they are part of the Islamist movement.

This is not about their right of assembly; this group under a different name pulled the same stunt at the US capitol in 2009 claiming 20k and getting 2-3k. THIS IS ABOUT the DNC calling this an “official function” listing these radicals as typical of the DNC community and more importantly about this organization speaking out AS representing supposedly typical American Muslims (or “Mainstream”).

If that is who the DNC is consorting with then all Americans, Democrats should be concerned. There are many patriotic Muslims who are part of both parties, and when radical ideologues like this do a demonstration of “solidarity” in the name of our faith and choose an imam like Siraj Wahhaj who I saw with my own eyes in 1995 seditiously say it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran– then we need to speak up!

Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB (Muslim Brotherhood) sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.

They use our American Muslim identity to speak as “one community” as a political unit or as a “bloc vote” – a political Islamist party when in fact most us Muslims don’t want that political unity and seek reform against their ideology that seeks to hijack our community. They do not represent us. (emphasis mine)

Romney raising cash from coast to coast from traditionally Dem cities-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is out-fundraising President Barack Obama by impressive margins, is attracting thousands of donors this summer from traditionally Democratic areas of the United States, collecting millions of dollars in even progressive communities from New York to Los Angeles, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of new campaign data.

Donors from tony neighborhoods of Manhattan to even the famously liberal Castro neighborhood in San Francisco helped Romney and the GOP outraise Obama by more than $25 million in July, beating him and the Democratic Party in contributions for a third consecutive month, the AP analysis showed.

Romney collected at least $630,000 by mid-summer from New York City, the home to major Romney fundraiser and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. More than $100,000 of that came from investment bankers, who have cooled to Obama since he supported tougher regulations for Wall Street following the financial meltdown and housing crisis in recent years.

More than 2,000 miles away on the West Coast, Romney collected at least $350,000 since June in the San Francisco Bay Area alone, with average contributions of $400 apiece. The Bay Area is also the home of Dick Boyce, a former partner of Romney’s at Bain Capital and a GOP super PAC donor who is active in fundraising for Romney this election.

The money race has become a critical bellwether in the presidential campaign, which is expected to cost more than $1 billion. Obama is not only losing the money race but also is being outspent on the airwaves, thanks to millions of dollars in ads from independent “super” political committees funded by wealthy donors who oppose Obama and his policies.

Romney and the Republican Party are also making financial inroads in traditionally liberal cities across the nation, including Austin, Texas, and Obama’s hometown of Chicago. These include small and large contributions, from $200 to the maximum $30,800 allowed under federal law to political parties each year.

In Denver, the home of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Romney supporters this summer contributed more than $400,000 – enough to pay rent, utilities and staff for a campaign field office. And in Philadelphia, where Obama handily beat Sen. John McCain four years ago, Romney took in more than $250,000 since early June.

Romney’s campaign has made a furious effort in recent months to step up its fundraising against Obama, who came to office four years ago with a fundraising operation that brought in a record-breaking $750 million for his election. Romney’s campaign set an ambitious goal earlier this year of more than $100 million by summer’s end with a goal of $800 million by November.

But now, Obama and his advisors publicly acknowledge the president will likely be outspent by November. Romney and the GOP reported a combined $101 million in fundraising last month, while Obama and the Democrats together said they raised $75 million.

Romney supporters have pointed to a withered economy and have said failed promises are driving contributions to the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign for the last two months. A Florida donor for Romney, who raised $10,000 alone at a lunch this week, said donors represented to him they are mostly upset with the economy or are business owners unhappy with regulations. The donor spoke on condition of anonymity because he’s not allowed to speak for the campaign.

The AP’s analysis mapped addresses of a quarter-million donors to the GOP or Romney’s presidential campaign. It then cross-referenced those records with traditionally Democratic city or metro area boundaries and examined ZIP codes for which donors have seldom, if ever, contributed to the Republican candidate.

The analysis excluded supporters who gave fewer than $200 because, under federal law, campaigns aren’t required to disclose details about such small contributions. High-dollar donors have been essential to Romney’s election effort, unlike Obama, who relies on a greater share of smaller checks.

The Democratic National Committee and Obama both spent more than they took in last month as the president expanded his campaign operations and purchased millions of dollars in television advertising to compete with rival Mitt Romney and millions of dollars in super PAC ads working in his favor.

To be sure, while Romney for now has a significant financial advantage, he is trailing Obama in terms of paid staffers who in part coordinate the campaign’s ground operations. The new finance reports show Obama’s campaign paid about 800 staffers around the nation – not counting volunteers – while Romney had fewer than half that number.

………………..

For a while now, and with some off-days, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney has maintained a small but persistent lead in the two most reliable national polls, Gallup and Rasmussen. Swing state polls, however, have been less kind. Since Romney clinched the nomination, President Obama has consistently led in most of these crucial states, sometimes by wide margins that felt counter-intuitive when compared to the national polls.

Well, whatever caused that — Obama’s spending advantage, poorly weighted polls or both — the tide is turning and also doing so in two states Obama and his media minions probably felt were pretty safe.

Michigan:

[A] national public opinion polling and voter analytics consulting firm based in Michigan and representing the combined resources of Foster McCollum White & Associates (Troy, Michigan) and Baydoun Consulting (Dearborn, Michigan) conducted a telephone-automated polling random survey of Michigan registered and most likely November 2012 general election voters to determine their voting preferences.

In what will be a significant blow to Democratic campaign efforts, native son Mitt Romney has climbed into the lead in Michigan’s Presidential contest.

Obama: 43.88%

Romney: 47.68%

And in my home state of Wisconsin two recent polls have Obama stuck at 47 and Romney ahead by one.

Over the past few weeks in the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, Romney has caught up to or passed Obama in Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, and Iowa.

The trend is the thing and the trend is all moving Romney’s way.

It might just be that the American people know when a cynical, dishonest, failed president and his media minions are conning them with shiny distractions as the economy shrinks and the unemployment rate increases.

It might just be that Romney refusing to cave to the fact checker’s lies about welfare reform is allowing Obama’s gutting of that law to penetrate.

It might just be that New Media is also penetrating with our counter-narratives and our focus on real issues as opposed to abortion, same-sex marriage, tax returns, and whatever other nonsense Obama’s pathetic MSM Palace Guards can dream up.

And it might just be that choosing a serious, ethical, brilliant reformer like Paul Ryan told voters that Romney takes them and the problems of this nation seriously.

My guess is that it’s a little bit of all that.

Since choosing Ryan last Saturday morning, Team Romney not only broke a six-week losing streak but have run a near-flawless campaign. Voters are seeing a competent nominee with a competent team and a potential president whose first hiring choice (Ryan) was the work of a confident leader.

All America needs is an acceptable alternative to the failed man currently in the job, and right now, Romney is proving himself to be that man and then some.

Obama Panic Attack – Romney Now Leading Wisconsin

This time last year the Obama campaign would not have considered Wisconsin to be a state requiring both time and money to be spent hoping to secure victory in 2012 – but recent polling suggests that is exactly what is happening. Remember – Barack Obama carried Wisconsin in 2008 by a whopping 14 percentage points! Polling data showing Mitt Romney now leading Wisconsin has to be sending the Obama campaign into a frenzy of concern.

EXCERPT:

 

Romney slightly ahead in Wisconsin

PPP’s first Wisconsin poll since Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan as his running mate finds him taking a small lead over Barack Obama in the state, 48-47. That represents a 7 point shift from PPP’s last look at the state in early July, which found Obama ahead 50-44.

…Choosing Ryan as his running mate isn’t giving Romney any trouble with seniors in Wisconsin. That’s actually where his greatest strength is, leading Obama 52-43 with them. Which isn’t to say the Ryan Plan is popular in Wisconsin- only 40% of voters support it to 46% who are opposed. But the concern with it is coming much more from young voters than seniors. LINK

Losing His Edge?

Florida’s Jews notice drop in support for Obama

August 21, 2012

President Barack Obama is in danger of losing a substantial part of the American Jewish vote, especially in the crucial swing state of Florida.

According to a report published on Monday by the Boston Globe, Jewish analysts and community leaders in Florida agree that Obama’s Israel policy has damaged his standing with Jewish voters, and this may be enough to cost him Florida, which could mean losing the upcoming election.

“Jews constitute only 3 percent of the state’s population,” the report notes, “but cast their ballots in such large numbers that they can account for 7 or 8 percent of the total vote.”

The report cites Ira Sheskin, director of the Jewish Demography Project at the University of Miami, as saying that, “Any significant erosion of Obama’s support among the 639,000 Jews who live in Florida would have an outsize impact because their turnout could be near or more than 90 percent.”

Florida proved decisive in the 2000 presidential election, and may very well do so again in 2012. Along with Ohio, it is a large and populous state that is almost evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. The shift of a mere handful of votes can have an enormously outsize impact.

The “erosion” Sheskin mentions has been noted nationwide, with a Gallup poll showing a 10 percent drop in support for Obama among Jewish voters. An American Jewish Committee poll showed an even larger drop.

Jewish activists in Florida have noted the change on a local level as well.

“The 78 percent that Barack Obama got in the Jewish community four years ago is off the table,” said Sid Dinerstein, chairman of the Palm Beach County Republican Party. “Barack Obama will get a majority of the Jewish vote, but he won’t get two-thirds.”

Dinerstein, the first Jew to lead the county GOP, predicted that Obama would win 60 to 65 percent of that vote. As a result, he said, “when you take 10, 15 points of the Jewish vote and flip them, the state’s gone, believe me.”

“In my congregation, there’s still lots of support for Obama,” said Rabbi Barry Silver, who leads a reform synagogue in Lake Worth, Fla., just south of West Palm Beach. “However, since the last election, I have noticed Obama’s support slipping across all denominational lines.”

The Globe report is unequivocal about the cause of this drop in support, Obama’s Israel policy. Professor Sheskin clearly states, “There are some people who are concerned about whether Obama really has his heart in Israel. There are people who are afraid that Obama will put undue pressure on Israel in his second term.”

Mitt Romney Calls For Audit Of Federal Reserve… All Eyes to the Front!

Leaving little doubt regarding his feelings on the growing influence of the Ben Bernanke led Federal Reserve, GOP candidate Mitt Romney says its time for an audit investigation into the FED:  (ht/ Ulsterman..

EXCERPT:

Romney supports audit of the Federal Reserve

Borrowing Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign push, Mitt Romney said Monday he thinks the Federal Reserve should face an audit.

“Very plain and simple, the answer is yes. The Federal Reserve should be accountable. We should see what they’re doing,” Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said at a town hall in New Hampshire.

Mr. Paul, the Texas congressman who is still technically in the running for the Republican nomination, though he does not have the delegates to win it at next week’s convention, made an audit of the Fed a chief part of his campaign.

The GOP’s platform committee begins meeting later Monday, and Mr. Paul is seeking to have a Fed audit included as an official position of the party. Gov. Bob McDonnell, the platform committee’s chairman, told The Washington Times last month that he supported accountability at the Fed, and said the committee was looking at a number of Mr. Paul’s ideas.

Washington Times
________________

Wall Street Insider, over the course of numerous interviews, pointed both to the need to do battle against Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, as well as demanding I and others maintain respect for many of the ideals represented by the Ron Paul campaign.

It certainly appears something has taken place behind the scenes to bring those ideals into the Romney campaign and the GOP platform.

That kind of “something” normally takes influence – and that kind of influence normally only comes from those with considerable resources.

Indeed…

ROMNEY TEAM IN THE ZONE

As the Obama campaign staff rehearse with Obama for a surprise press briefing capitalizing on the opportunity for gaining political points by reigniting the now old and tired “war on women” theme-

“Think on this though: is that the WH staff is divided on whether or not to run with this one. They are not sure some guy running for Senator is right to try and make a national campaign issue out of it and they fear the Romney team has a prepared response to create backlash. This shows a couple things. One, *Romney and Ryan are totally in the Obama team’s head.* Got them biting each other up pretty regular now. Second, they are losing confidence in how to run a national campaign big time.”

“Obama was pushed out onto the stage with some crib notes and instructions to wait for the abortion question. The question came and the president read from his notes. If you find a video of it, you will notice him looking down at those notes. I had to laugh when Obama tries to manufacture outrage when he gets to that word.”

You can see the little rodent in his head spinning around the wheel telling him to “act outraged” but the guy just can’t pull it off anymore.”

NEWSWEEK COVER: Obama Must Go!

The other day, Newsweek had a cover story about Mitt Romney’s “Wimp Factor.” This week? The opposite: Niall Ferguson arguing that Obama must go in the new issue. That’s quite a cover that 1.5 million people will get in their mailboxes.

Aug 19, 2012 1:00 AM EDT
Why does Paul Ryan scare the president so much? Because Obama has broken his promises, and it’s clear that the GOP ticket’s path to prosperity is our only hope.

I was a good loser four years ago. “In the grand scheme of history,” I wrote the day after Barack Obama’s election as president, “four decades is not an especially long time. Yet in that brief period America has gone from the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to the apotheosis of Barack Obama. You would not be human if you failed to acknowledge this as a cause for great rejoicing.”

Despite having been—full disclosure—an adviser to John McCain, I acknowledged his opponent’s remarkable qualities: his soaring oratory, his cool, hard-to-ruffle temperament, and his near faultless campaign organization.

Yet the question confronting the country nearly four years later is not who was the better candidate four years ago. It is whether the winner has delivered on his promises. And the sad truth is that he has not.

In his inaugural address, Obama promised “not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.” He promised to “build the roads and bridges, the electric grids, and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.” He promised to “restore science to its rightful place and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost.” And he promised to “transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.” Unfortunately the president’s scorecard on every single one of those bold pledges is pitiful.

In an unguarded moment earlier this year, the president commented that the private sector of the economy was “doing fine.” Certainly, the stock market is well up (by 74 percent) relative to the close on Inauguration Day 2009. But the total number of private-sector jobs is still 4.3 million below the January 2008 peak. Meanwhile, since 2008, a staggering 3.6 million Americans have been added to Social Security’s disability insurance program. This is one of many ways unemployment is being concealed.

In his fiscal year 2010 budget—the first he presented—the president envisaged growth of 3.2 percent in 2010, 4.0 percent in 2011, 4.6 percent in 2012. The actual numbers were 2.4 percent in 2010 and 1.8 percent in 2011; few forecasters now expect it to be much above 2.3 percent this year.

Unemployment was supposed to be 6 percent by now. It has averaged 8.2 percent this year so far. Meanwhile real median annual household income has dropped more than 5 percent since June 2009. Nearly 110 million individuals received a welfare benefit in 2011, mostly Medicaid or food stamps.

Welcome to Obama’s America: nearly half the population is not represented on a taxable return—almost exactly the same proportion that lives in a household where at least one member receives some type of government benefit. We are becoming the 50–50 nation—half of us paying the taxes, the other half receiving the benefits.

And all this despite a far bigger hike in the federal debt than we were promised. According to the 2010 budget, the debt in public hands was supposed to fall in relation to GDP from 67 percent in 2010 to less than 66 percent this year. If only. By the end of this year, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it will reach 70 percent of GDP. These figures significantly understate the debt problem, however. The ratio that matters is debt to revenue. That number has leapt upward from 165 percent in 2008 to 262 percent this year, according to figures from the International Monetary Fund. Among developed economies, only Ireland and Spain have seen a bigger deterioration.

Not only did the initial fiscal stimulus fade after the sugar rush of 2009, but the president has done absolutely nothing to close the long-term gap between spending and revenue.

His much-vaunted health-care reform will not prevent spending on health programs growing from more than 5 percent of GDP today to almost 10 percent in 2037. Add the projected increase in the costs of Social Security and you are looking at a total bill of 16 percent of GDP 25 years from now. That is only slightly less than the average cost of all federal programs and activities, apart from net interest payments, over the past 40 years. Under this president’s policies, the debt is on course to approach 200 percent of GDP in 2037—a mountain of debt that is bound to reduce growth even further.

Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed
August 19, 2012

………………………………

‘Anti-Obama’ books by Kleins dominate NYT bestseller list. ‘Fool Me Twice,’ ‘The Amateur’ selling big across the nation
by Brenda J. Elliott

………………………………………….

WND.com, August 18, 2012 — The New York Times bestseller list today [Week of August 26, 2012] features two books critical of President Obama, each penned by authors whose last name is Klein.

Ed Klein’s The Amateur, which has graced the bestseller list for weeks, including the top spot, shot back to #2 for hardcover nonfiction.

Debuting at No. 18 spot on the same list today is Fool Me Twice by radio host and WND reporter Aaron Klein. The book, written with co-author Brenda J. Elliott, purports to lay out the specific policy prescriptions Obama will attempt to enact if he is reelected in November.

[Note: The Amateur is at #3 for Combined Print and eBook Non-Fiction and Fool Me Twice is #25 in the same category. Fool Me Twice ranks at #26 in eBooks.]

The full title is Fool Me Twice: Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed. The book is ranked at #24 in Amazon best sellers.

Klein, already a New York Times bestselling author, kicked off a busy national media tour by appearing on the Fox and Friends television program early last week. He was featured for two segments today on Huckabee on Fox News.

When asked by one of the hosts of “Fox and Friends” where he was able to find the information for Fool Me Twice, Klein pointed out that he and co-author Elliott only “did what a lot of people in the mainstream media could do if they only look at the progressive organizations and key individuals who wrote the stimulus bill and health-care legislation and what they have been writing since, which serve as a blueprint for Obama’s second-term agenda.”

Fool Me Twice claims to unveil all the main areas of Obama’s second-term domestic policy onslaught–jobs, wages, health care, immigration “overhaul,” electoral “reform,” national energy policy, Pentagon plans and more.

Ed Klein’s The Amateur, meanwhile, advertises that it pulls back the curtain on “one of the most secretive White Houses in history.”

Klein purports to reveals “a callow, thin-skinned, arrogant” president with “messianic dreams of grandeur” supported by a cast of true-believers, all of them “united by leftist politics and an amateurish understanding of executive leadership.”

The Paul Ryan Effect – It’s The Real Deal

More and more whispers of a seriously freaking out Obama campaign as Team Romney happily releases some numbers showing a significant surge in support for the Romney/Ryan campaign since announcing Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate:

How are things looking for Mitt Romney since the Ryan announcement last week? Good. Very good.

Online Fundraising

Donations: 124,800+
Amount: $10,157,947
Average Donation: $81
% New Donors: 68%

What is particularly impressive with this massive rise in online fundraising is that it signals a shift by younger voters away from Barack Obama and to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. That spells big trouble for Team Obama.

When a VP choice results in a massive influx of both funds and campaign volunteers, that is a very good thing and a clear sign of some serious momentum favoring the GOP nominee. The campaign stop crowds have been huge for Romney and Ryan, while Vice President Joe Biden makes one pathetic gaffe after another and President Obama is playing to half full venues where people are being bussed in to see him.

With that said then, look for a major distraction attempt by Team Obama. They are afraid – and that makes them that much more dangerous.

Media Rushing Out White Guilt Political Campaign Again – To Criticize Obama Is Racist

If you don’t support Barack Obama, you are racist. So says MSNBC and Obama White House guest Touré who goes on to classify Republicans as the “all white party” that has been programmed to hate Black people. These comments come after it was Obama Vice President Joe Biden’s now infamous “back in chains” gaffe that has even Black Americans shaking their heads wondering what is going on with the Obama campaign. Watch the video below and as you do, keep in mind the warnings of Insider – this racism campaign is a very dangerous and volatile ploy that could result in harm to a great many Americans…

Romney seizes on defining Obama campaign as Angry, Divisive and Hateful..

 

Romney says: “Take your campaign back to Chicago-

Romney slams Obama in tough new speech:

Mitt Romney used a tough new campaign speech to personally blast the Obama campaign on Tuesday, saying comments earlier in the day from Vice President Biden are “what an angry and desperate Presidency looks like.”

“Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Romney said while campaigning in Ohio.

Romney was responding to Biden’s suggestion that the GOP ticket’s economic policies would “put y’all back in chains.”

The vice president made the remark while campaigning in Virginia, during a discussion of Wall Street regulation.

“They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules — unchain Wall Street,” Biden said. “They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing.”

Romney repeatedly and harshly criticized Team Obama for the remarks.

“His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the Presidency. Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower,” Romney said.

“This is an election in which we should be talking about the path ahead, but you don’t hear any answers coming from President Obama’s re-election campaign. That’s because he’s intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy. And so his campaign has resorted to diversions and distractions, to demagoguing and defaming others. This is an old game in politics; what’s different this year is that the president is taking things to a new low.”

Romney’s remarks echo those of his campaign spokeswoman, who earlier in the day called Biden’s remarks a “new low.”

The counter-punches mark a much tougher tone from Team Romney, who have criticized the Obama campaign before, particularly over a controversial ad by pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action that links Romney to a woman’s death, but never in such blunt or harsh terms.

The commercial aired for the first time Tuesday on a television station in Cleveland. Romney made his remarks in Chillicothe, Ohio. The Buckeye state is one of the most important in the election. No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said Romney seemed “unhinged.”

“Governor Romney’s comments tonight seemed unhinged, and particularly strange coming at a time when he’s pouring tens of millions of dollars into negative ads that are demonstrably false,” LaBolt said in a statement.

Romney new tone could be due to the addition of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to the ticket, which was seen as energizing the GOP campaign. And it could be because the election is growing closer and polls show the race is neck-and-neck.

Biden himself explained his remark later on Tuesday, saying “I think I said instead of ‘unshackled,’ ‘unchained.’”

The vice president then criticized Romney’s campaign for arguing his comments were outrageous.

“If you want to know what’s outrageous, it’s their policies and the effects of their policies on middle class America. That’s what’s outrageous,” Biden said.

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter also defended Biden’s remarks, saying they “were a derivative of those remarks, describing the devastating impact letting Wall Street write its own rules again would have on middle-class families.”

Speaking on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon, she blasted the Romney response as “faux outrage.”

Asked by host Andrea Mitchell if she would say the vice president went too far, Cutter responded, “No, I’m not.”

“The bottom line is we have no problem with those comments,” Cutter added.

Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul then released a second statement criticizing the Obama campaign.

“In case anyone was wondering just how low President Obama could go in his campaign for reelection, we now know he’s willing to say that Governor Romney wants to put people back in chains,” Saul said. “Whether its accusing Mitt Romney of being a felon, having been responsible for a woman’s tragic death or now wanting to put people in chains, there’s no question that because of the president’s failed record he’s been reduced to a desperate campaign based on division and demonization.”

In a statement released after her appearance on MSNBC, Cutter said the Romney campaign’s outrage was “hypocritical” given Romney’s stump speech that she said questioned the president’s patriotism.

TODAY’S Romney-Ryan rally in High Point, NC..

 

Update – Overflow crowds in Mooresville

statements from people in attendance:

Going into the doors. Holy- moly I can’t believe the people.

One picture is the front of the line, one picture kinda the back, EXCEPT my camera can’t capture two and a half blocks of people.

Many are actually women (the shock).

(Person) just emailed again:

I have never been to a rally, but the picture in my head did not include a line to get off the exit, a half mile walk to the line and then a multiple block line. Consider me heartened.

Comments from those in attendance:

Overflow crowds in Mooresville, as reported by reader Hope:

My 18 year old daughter and I attempted to go to the Romney/Ryan rally this morning in Mooresville , NC. This is a video [image below] of the crowd outside around 9 a.m. The crowd behind me was as big. We did not get in as the crowd was too large. The fire marshal turned the crowds away. This was as close as we got.

We saw about 12 protestors in 3 separate groups of 4 each. They were not convincing anyone that “Offshore Mitt” posed any threat to the country.

As one man said to me…we are the people that work for a living and the people that are protesting are the people that vote for a living. Be encouraged. There are many, many good people with us.

People are finally feeling uplifted with having Ryan as Romney’s VP

The BEST of Paul Ryan:

Romney introduces Paul Ryan as VP mate

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney introduced his choice as running mate, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, 42, Saturday morning at a campaign event in Norfolk, Va.

The Romney campaign earlier announced the choice in a press release Saturday morning.

In excerpts of the speech Ryan will deliver Saturday that were released by the Romney campaign, Ryan said, “We Americans look at one another’s success with pride, not resentment, because we know, as more Americans work hard, take risks, and succeed, more people will prosper, our communities will benefit, and individual lives will be improved and uplifted.

That theme is similar to ones Ryan has sounded in the past. He has been outspoken in saying that America must be “an upward mobility society.”

He told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow last February, “We don’t want a safety net that turns into a hammock that lulls people into dependency in this country. We want people to get up on their feet and grab that higher rung of the economic ladder.”

He said, “We don’t believe in class division. We believe in growth and prosperity, helping people when they are down on their luck get back on their feet, and pro-growth economic policies that put America in the lead, that make us competitive, that stop tearing people down in this zero-sum thinking.”

Ryan, first elected to the House in 1998, worked in college as staffer for Sen. Bob Kasten of Wisconsin, and later as a speechwriter for Jack Kemp and William Bennett and as an aide to Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas.

As the author of an ambitious plan to redesign the Medicare program for older and disabled Americans, Ryan has long been the target of Democratic attacks.

If enacted, Ryan’s proposal would be the most far-reaching change in Medicare since the program was created in 1965.

In 2011, one Democratic group ran an ad showing a man – presumably Ryan – pushing a terrified elderly woman in a wheelchair off a cliff.

Ryan’s plan would gradually increase the Medicare eligibility age to 67. This phased-in increase in the eligibility age would start in 2023.

Ryan’s proposal would do away with Medicare’s open-ended payments for those born in 1958 and later, (that is, people who turn 65 in 2023 or later).

Instead, beginning in 2023, people in Medicare would be given a choice of private plans competing alongside the traditional fee-for-service option.

Medicare would provide a payment to pay for or offset the premium of the plan chosen by the senior. The payments would be higher for low-income people and lower for high-income people. The payments would grow over time but would not necessarily keep pace with the increase in the cost of medical care.

The Congressional Budget Office, in an assessment last year, said Ryan’s plan would result in “much lower deficits and debt in the long run.” But the CBO also found that under Ryan’s redesigned Medicare, “most elderly people would pay more for their health care than they would pay under the current Medicare system.”

One prominent Democrat, Sen., Ron Wyden of Oregon joined with Ryan last year on a proposal to redesign Medicare.

Wyden said in an opinion piece in the Huffington Post that the Wyden-Ryan proposal was not a finished piece of legislation, but “simply a policy paper intended to start a conversation about how Democrats and Republicans might work together to uphold the Medicare Guarantee.”

The Oregon Democrat also added, “Wyden-Ryan doesn’t eliminate the traditional Medicare plan, instead it guarantees that seniors who want to enroll in Medicare’s traditional fee for service plan will always have that option.”

He added that, “Wyden-Ryan doesn’t privatize Medicare because Medicare beneficiaries already have the option of enrolling in private health insurance plans. Wyden-Ryan makes those private plans more robust and accountable by forcing them to — for the first time — compete directly with traditional Medicare.”

But Wyden also said “some Republicans will undoubtedly declare their support for Wyden-Ryan without knowing what that means or believing in its principles. Mitt Romney, for example, claims to have helped write Wyden-Ryan even though I have never spoken to him about Medicare reform”

As part of its fiscal year 2013 budget resolution which it approved in March, the House supported Ryan’s Medicare reform plan. The vote was 228 to 191, with no Democrats voting for the proposal and 10 Republicans voting against it.

NO LINK- THE BOTS ARE DOING BACK FLIPS IN THE COMMENT SECTION BECAUSE THEY KNOW OBAMA FEARS RYAN MORE THAN ROMNEY! 🙂

 

Obama Campaign LIES With Ease…

 

Obama Campaign LIE Caught On Tape – UPDATE – Obama Campaign Now Admits Lie

Yesterday the Obama campaign aggressively denied knowing the details of an anti-Romney campaign ad that is now being declared among the most vile and misleading ads in American political history. Today, it is being proven they LIED.

EXCERPT:

Oops? President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign washed its hands Wednesday of an independent group’s vicious (and misleading) ad effectively blaming Mitt Romney for the death of a laid-off steelworker’s wife from cancer. Campaign officials flatly denied any knowledge of the facts in the case—but it turns out the widower told the same story on an Obama campaign conference call in mid-May.

“We have nothing, no involvement, with any ads that are done by Priorities USA. We don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family,” Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday.

…”I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick, or the facts about his health insurance,” deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter told CNN on Wednesday.

But there’s a problem. As Politico first reported, Soptic told essentially the same story in a May 14, 2012, conference call hosted by the Obama campaign.

______________________

Here is the audio of Mr. Soptic telling his anti-Romney story to representatives of the Obama campaign back in May.  This audio is undeniable proof of the Obama campaign’s repeated lie regarding the now widely rebuked campaign ad, as well as further indicating the entire story was a well rehearsed product that likely had direct input from Obama campaign operatives.  Simply put – the campaign to re-elect Barack Obama appears quite willing to say and do anything to defeat Mitt Romney.  If they are so willing to so easily lie about knowledge of a campaign ad, what else will they lie about – and what other things have they lied about already?

Is this the kind of president America needs at this time – or any time?

Think on that as you prepare to cast your vote in November America

______________________

UPDATE:  OBAMA CAMPAIGN NOW ADMITS THEY KNEW DETAILS BEHIND ANTI-ROMNEY CANCER AD

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki acknowledged Thursday that the campaign was no longer pleading ignorance about the story of a man who has appeared in both a super PAC ad and a campaign ad.

“No one is denying he was in one of our campaign ads. He was on a conference call telling his story,” Psaki told reporters on Air Force One.

Distancing themselves from the controversial ad, Obama campaign staffers initially denied knowledge of Soptic’s story — despite the fact that he was in an Obama campaign ad.

Adviser Robert Gibbs said he didn’t know “specifics,” while deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said on CNN: “I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick or the facts about his health insurance.”

And yesterday on Air Force One, Psaki said, “we don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family.”

UPDATE: Amanda Henneberg, a spokesperson for the Romney campaign, said this in a statement: “President Obama’s campaign has been caught lying about its knowledge concerning a vicious smear run by his Super PAC.  And now, they have doubled down with another dishonorable and dishonest attack. In 2008, candidate Obama said ‘you make a big election about small things’ when you don’t have a record to run on.  Since President Obama can’t run on record unemployment, falling incomes, and massive debt, he has decided to run a dirty campaign that is an affront to everything he claims to stand for.”

Obama Administration Paves the Way for Sharia Law…

The most terrifying danger Americans face from a second Barack Obama term isn’t the economy, which is scary enough.

The most harrowing prospect is the Obama Administration’s passivity in the face of attempts to introduce aspects of sharia law into our legal system.  Now there is strong and open evidence of the Obama administration collaborating with Islamist activists to ensure the path toward sharia law is accelerated.

Just last week, Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, was asked this question by Trent Franks (R-AZ), a member of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution: “Will you tell us here today that this Administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?”

Perez refused to answer. Four times.

And why would Franks target Perez?

Here’s why:

Last October, at George Washington University, there was a meeting between DOJ officials, including Perez, and Islamist advocates against free speech. Representatives from the Islamist side included Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial in 2008, as well as functioning as a Muslim Brotherhood Front. The leader of the Islamist attack was Sahar Aziz, an Egyptian-born American lawyer and Fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a Muslim advocacy group based in Michigan. At the meeting, the Islamists lobbied for:

1. Cutbacks in U.S. anti-terror training
2. Limits on the power of terrorism investigators
3. Changes in agent training manuals
4. A legal declaration that criticism of Islam in the United States should be considered racial discrimination

Aziz said that the word “Muslim” has become “racialized” and, once American criticism of Islam was silenced, the effect would be to “take [federal] money away from local police departments and fusion centers who are spying on all of us.”

And what was the response from Perez and the DOJ officials? 

Nothing.

That’s right: no objection, no defense of our first amendment right to free speech.

“We Got One Last Chance Here To Make It Right”

This is the latest Interview with the WH Insider:

The timing of this interview comes just days after a soon to be published book authored by Richard Miniter details how it is Valerie Jarrett and not President Barack Obama who makes the final decision in so many of the most critical calls from within the White House – even those involving the United States military. This knowledge is nothing new to readers of this blog, for that very information first originated from our own longtime D.C. political operative some two years ago. We talk to that figure again now, in person – White House Insider.

PART TWO:

WHI: (BIG SMILE) Now you’re seein’ it. Romney got inside his head – Obama is rattled. The entire campaign is rattled. And Obama goes out and says what? You go ahead and tell me for a change. What does Obama say not two weeks after the Romney team slips that internal polling data over to them?

UM: “You didn’t build that.”

WHI: And that’s how you play smashmouth politics son. A mental castration of a sitting president. And the Romney team just did it as good as I’ve EVER seen it done right there. And the decision to make sure that polling data made its way back to Obama…that had to come from Mitt Romney himself. And when he did that…he balled up his fist and smacked Obama right up in his face. Right into that fake ass toothy fool grin of his. He let him know this ain’t gonna be 2008. This is gonna be a war. Barack Obama…Valerie Jarrett…Plouffe…Axelrod…they all got their asses kicked on this one.

Romney done good…

UM:  Are you saying Obama was so rattled he didn’t mean what he said?  The comments about “you didn’t build that”?

WHI:  Oh hell no.  No-no-no.  He meant it.  Every bit of it.  (Pause)  What I mean there is that he slipped up…the subject was burnin’ that little pea brain of his…so he slipped up.  He allowed what he really feels to come right out into the open.  He’s done that before…here and there.  But this was…this time it was really out in the open – he was shouting it.  The deal is…with Obama…like I’ve said – guy hates America.  Really does.  Thinks it needs…thinks there needs to be a reset button.  Thinks the free market is evil.  Thinks that only liberal government, Big Government, socialized government…whatever you wanna call it – he thinks that is the only real solution to how to reshape the country into his own image.

UM:  And you believe that perspective is different from the traditional Democratic Party in America – correct?

WHI:  You’re Godd-amn right it is – I’ll say it to you again and again – Obama ain’t no Democrat.  Never was.  Never has been.  He controls the party…people who think like him…people who placed him in power…they control the party…but they represent something far different than what the party was 20 odd years ago.

UM:  That change you suggest…it started during the Clinton years.

WHI:  You askin’ me or you tellin’ me?

UM:  That’s my opinion – it started during the Clinton years and accelerated during the Bush years.  At least on a national level…a concentrated level.  The Old Man says it started decades earlier – but the progressive thing…at least in my own lifetime…theClinton years seem to be where it really took root.

WHI:  Bill Clinton ain’t Barack Obama – don’t make that comparison with me son.

UM:  He has people from his administration who are now working – or were working, inside the Obama administration.

WHI:  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

UM:  Does that explain Eric Holder?

WHI:  What?

UM:  Holder – he came from the Clinton administration.

In this July 20, 1999 file photo, President Clinton shakes hand with Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, right, as Attorney General Janet Reno looks on at a American Bar Association Presidential Call to Action event at the White House in Washington. Holder is President-elect Barack Obama’s top choice to be the next attorney general and aides have gone so far as to ask senators whether he would be confirmed, an Obama official and people close to the matter said Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008. (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)

WHI: You know how I feel about Eric f-cking Holder.

UM: Maybe Holder…Clinton…maybe they are all cut from the same cloth? And Eric Holder is still there…still running interference for Obama.

WHI: Yeah – he’s still there. For now. Let’s see if that stays the same this fall. Ok? We got the vote, right? Not many woulda thought that possible six months ago. Certainly not a year ago. I’ve done all I can on that – and then some. And then some. I got…I done every bit of what I could possibly do there – you know that. You know what – you seen the results of that work. Me and a few others…we got our asses hanging way out there on this.

UM: But where does that leave it? What now?

WHI: What now is this – either the Republicans succeed in getting the special counsel…prosecutor…whatever the hell they callin’ it these days…or they don’t. The vote…God bless them there…that was not an easy call. People watching from the outside…they might think it’s an easy thing…but the media…they can turn that into a weapon against them if it ain’t handled right. Somethin’ like that…you gotta roll it out real careful…real deliberate like. We ain’t finished with Holder – not by a long shot. There’s some more about to break on him…got a few loose ends…a few feet still draggin’ – but that’s about to change.

UM: How many people do you think Eric Holder has killed during his time at Justice with the Obama administration? How long are people willing to wait it out – to “role it out real careful” as you put it?

WHI: As long as it takes to get it done right son. You don’t know how…how difficult this kinda thing can be. This administration…these people around Obama – they got no fear on this stuff. Cold blooded. During the Clinton years…hell…things were done. Yeah…things that leave me wondering…we all got blood on our hands. Some more than others. How’d I put that to you before – you don’t ever wanna do the things I’ve done?

But these Obama people…they are different. A whole other level. Never seen anything like it. There’s stuff I won’t ever tell you. Never. You don’t want that kinda knowledge son. You throw out a question like how many people been killed under Eric Holder? Sh-t…you don’t even know what you’r askin’. You got no f-cking idea how far these people will go to keep pushin’ this agenda of theirs. Everything I told you was coming – now it’s here. The dismantling of the American system. The drones, the race riots, the promises to other countries…the open borders, the destruction of our domestic energy productions, the Obama government at war with the Catholic Church…the massive inflation that is just perched above us waiting to fall down on all our heads…so much sh-t they got ready to fire at us. That second term…that’s their moment. Obamacare, the deficit…cities going under…military cutbacks…I can’t keep track of it all it’s going on so damn fast now. This election coming up – people better know…they ain’t messing around now. This is the real f-cking deal right here. Right now.

Let me tell you somethin’ the Old Man told me…it was months back. Before all that sh-t that nearly put him in the ground. The stress of all this ain’t good for him…taking its toll. Can’t be good – he won’t share that with you…not all of it any ways.

So I’m asking him for help on about a thousand different fires I’m trying to put out – got Obama people everywhere. And I mean everywhere – and the Old Man…he’s brushing that all aside. “Just politics” he says. He don’t give a sh-t about that stuff. We are little people, right? And he don’t mean to demean us when he says that – that’s just his world. That’s his way – and he’s right. He’s godd—mn right. We are just cockroaches – it’s a sick business what we do. But it’s also a necessary one and that’s where I come in so f-ck it. It’s who I am. But the Old Man…he’s telling me…the words he used…the phrase was…”the entire system is terminal and I can’t save the patient.” Now he’s talking about the global economy here – that the entire system has been compromised to the point of collapse and he…and people like him who want to save it…they can’t do it alone. They might be able to…between them…maybe they got access to a couple trillion to move around here and there to try and stabilize things.

UM: A couple trillion? That much!

WHI: No – not personally. Hell no…he ain’t worth near that personally. But he’s got – and there’s others…they got access to that amount. In that neighborhood…he told me that some time ago. But that would be an all or nothin’ scenario for them…and…now I don’t understand how all that sh-t works…markets…he talks about capitalization…last summer he went on for about an hour about how out of whack the capitalization of something and somethin’ was…I don’t know. Just that it’s real bad. And I mean real bad and these Obama people – they are in on it big time. It ain’t that they are just ignorant or incompetent – it’s purposeful what they are doing.

And when they got rid of that IMF fella – the French guy…I never seen the Old Man so worried. He’s told the both of us…let us know how dangerous that woman at the IMF is…but he won’t say much about it – but it’s got him damn worried.

UM: I messed up that last interview – with the Old Man. My question to the Military Insider.

WHI: Bullsh-t – you didn’t mess up nothin’. You really think a guy like that…I don’t think they wanted to be there. It was a favor to the Old Man – nothing else. Don’t sweat it.

UM: They looked like they wanted to kill me.

WHI: Probably did! Sure as hell could – in about 2.2 seconds! (Laughs)

UM: Wasn’t funny at the time – not at all.

WHI: You did fine…and frankly…what you asked…I’ve wondered that as well. Guy like that…got tons of respect for the man. He’s solid. No worries. Been giving us the goods on a lot of stuff going way back – but he’s M.I. to the core. And those people…they think different. They have to – and they can be damn scary to be around some times. And he owes the Old Man – and the Old Man likes you. So it’s all good.

UM: Why haven’t more in the military – why haven’t they come out against this administration? You’ve told me, the Old Man has told me…the Military Insider hinted at it – that they know this administration is doing wrong. Why not come out against them?

WHI: (Long Pause) If they came out against the president…something like that – an openly public and deliberate move against the president…that would be a crisis. A domestic crisis of epic f-cking proportions. That’s now how these kinda things go down kid. That’s Hollywood bullsh-t stuff – that’s not reality.

The Joint Chiefs…those guys are politicians as much as Obama. And the ones right under them – they want that next step up, right? And the administration, they play that card to the hilt. Same thing with Congress. I know for a fact there are Senators – Democrats…who are appalled at what the administration is doing. Appalled at what they are hearing about the character and motivations of this so-called president. But to come right out against him…Reid won’t have it. I don’t know what kinda deal was struck between those two devils – Reid and Obama…but Reid has the Senate on lockdown. And he’s got most of those Democrats in the Senate too damn afraid to say anything – while the rest of them are happy to support the administration because they are cut from that same idiotic socialist progressive cloth as he is – and they think they will get a seat at the big table when all of this shakes out.

Why do you think I am doing it this way? Same damn thing. It’s easy to point the finger and tell somebody to risk everything – not just them but risk their family…everything they got…real easy to sit back and tell somebody they should stand up and do what’s right and go ahead and risk it. Right? Real easy?

Unless it’s YOU that’s at risk. Then it’s a different f-cking story ain’t it?

So I’m doin’ what I’m doin’. The Old Man is doin’ what he’s doin’. And you do what you do. And we hope it’s enough.

UM: Is it? Will it be enough? To defeat Obama?

WHI: The three of us? Hell no. Not even close.

UM: Then what? What will it take?

WHI: What it has always taken when the country is at risk – the American people. We need them. We always have. And God’s grace. If He still gives a sh-t about this country. If He still thinks we are worth the trouble. And I ain’t so sure we are – if we deserve to have another chance.

You’re askin’ what it will take to defeat Obama? Defeat the ones around him? Jarrett? Holder? All of them? It’s gonna take the American people to wake the f-ck up NOW. It’s getting to be go time here. August is when the real race is run…all the way to end. But Romney…he can’t do it alone. People out there who say they ain’t so sure about Romney…this ain’t the time to be talking that perfection sh-t. This ain’t the time to be talking 3rd party candidate bullsh-t. This ain’t the time to be sittin’ this one out.

This IS the time to pay attention…tell everyone you know…everyone you care about…vote out Obama. Vote the son-of-a-bitch out. We got one last chance here to make it right. That’s what I’m doin’ this for. I gotta try and make it right – 2008 was…I can’t leave it like this. I can’t have that be it for me. Just can’t do it. So 2012…hell it’s just a few months away now…we gotta do this together. All of us. Every last one of us. I need your readers help. I need them to speak out to everyone they know. Every last person they know. For the love of God get people motivated to do what’s right this election. None of us can afford to sit this one out. None of us.

T Party, Washington, DC

I’ll promise you this…if Obama is defeated this election… If the American people send him on his way…there is gonna be a whole sh-t pile of information coming out on what was really going on inside that White House of his and Jarrett’s. People will have the guts to speak out – openly. And they won’t be alone. They will be able to do it without the fear that hangs over them now – all of us…how scary sh-t is right now.

And when all that truth starts to come out…people…the ones willing to listen and understand…they are gonna realize just how close the country…how close we were to the darkness. The future that was gonna be ripped away from their kids and grandkids. And how their votes against Obama saved America. How they saved that future. In the end…like I told you…in the end when the country is in real crisis – it always comes down to the American people to save it.

Godd—mit then – let’s get to it. Let’s save America.

END.
Part One Interview

Obama’s Illegals Charged with 19 Murders, 142 Sex Crimes..

Well, this seems fair — perfectly in line with Obama’s socialist drive to spread the wealth.

John Nolte @ Brietbart

After hundreds of innocent Mexicans died as a result of the Obama Administration flooding that country with thousands guns through the cynical and politically motivated Fast and Furious program, it’s only fair for the White House to allow Mexican citizens to wreak havoc and misery here in America:

The Obama administration released illegal immigrants who went on to commit more crimes, including charges of 19 murders, 3 attempted murders and 142 sex crimes, the House Judiciary Committee said in a report Tuesday.

All told, the nearly 47,000 illegal immigrants the administration was notified of but declined to deport between 2008 and 2011 under its Secure Communities program had a recidivism rate of 16 percent, the committee said.

They were just part of the nearly 160,000 immigrants — most of them here legally — who were flagged by Secure Communities during the three year period but who were either not eligible to be deported or who the administration decided to release. Those immigrants went on to be charged in nearly 60,000 more crimes, according to the committee and the Congressional Research Service, which issued a report on the matter.

The findings stem from the Obama administration’s Secure Communities program, which was designed to identify immigrants who run afoul of the law and who the administration decides it wants to deport.

Equality, it’s a beautiful thing.

By merely enforcing the immigration laws already on the books every single one of these crimes could’ve been prevented.

More blood on Obama’s hands– more blood the media will cover up because week seven  of whining about Mitt Romney only releasing two years worth of tax returns is much bigger news than 60,000 preventable crimes, you know, if all you care about is reelecting Obama.

Obama’s Plans for America in Full view…

What’s the agenda?

Our conversation turned to the agenda of the person in the White House. Short on time, my source stated that the current resident of the White House has been tasked to implement a “robust agenda of change” using the agencies and government infrastructure previously created for him.

“He’s been instructed to fully remove ‘God, guns and guts’ from America and Americans, to neuter our military, bankrupt our country, and force everyone into dependency through a well-planned economic disaster that was crafted long before he stepped foot into the Oval Office. The financial crash of September 2008 was one such well planned economic terrorist attack. It had the blessing of many bankers and politicians in the U.S. and now I’m finding, some overseas. It was an important part of the framework given to Obama to ‘grease the wheels’ for a complete financial collapse. And I’m sad to say that a lot of people I once thought were on our side played an important role in setting us up – all of us.”

“The objective, or the agenda, is much bigger than I think anyone can comprehend,” stated my source. “It’s global in nature, and it involves other governments, communist governments,” he added. It’s evil in its simplicity. It’s to destroy our country from within and take away our ability to fight what’s coming. It’s to change our way of life, and he’s got the people in place to do it, at least for the most part. And forget about the Republicans versus the Democrats, because nearly all of them are all playing for the same team. Both sides have helped to get us to this point. They’ve allowed Communists to enter every government institution inside the beltway, and just about everyone let it happen, helped it happen or watched it happen.”

“But O- I cannot even bring myself to call him by name anymore, and as we talked before, we’re not even sure what his real name is, made some serious mistakes, or became lazy and began enjoying his lifestyle a little too much. Not sure which, maybe both. His international handlers have been upset with him because it set the whole timetable back. And this is where I can offer you information about what’s going on at DHS, because it’s DHS that is tasked to be the enforcers. It’s like the old military saying, ‘hurry up and wait,’” said my source.

 

The Plan

“Look,” stated my source, “I’ve been told that the people with the real power are using the guy in the White House to implement the whole globalist power structure thing. They made certain that they had someone in the White House to go along and implement certain things by executive order, appointments, and other methods to bring about the deconstruction of the U.S., and making our Constitution irrelevant, or at least subservient to international law. I can’t say I know this for sure because it’s all second hand, but it makes sense from my perspective at DHS,” he added.

“Remember when I told you about DHS planning a response for chaos, civil war, rioting, insurrection or whatever you want to call it? Well, that’s not happening fast enough, and there are people who don’t think it can be accomplished in one term. That’s why a second term is critical, and that’s why there’s desperation sinking in. Napolitano is corresponding a lot with the White House, to Valerie Jarrett, to the Secret Service, and to others I won’t name. But there is some plan in place to assure the reelection of this guy so he can finish the job he was given,” he said.

“We’re talking about something taking place to make sure that Obama stays in office. I’ve been privy to ‘contingency plans’ ordered by Jarrett for one that defines the protocol for DHS response to the ‘temporary suspension of U.S. elections due to international and domestic crisis.’ It’s a real document, ordered by Jarrett and contains plans for travel restrictions, gun possession ban by citizens, and in general, ‘martial law.’”

“You know, I heard rumors about the same thing under Bush and laughed, calling it conspiracy nonsense. Now I’m not so sure, and think that maybe it was just too early and the wrong person. Anyway, I’m not laughing anymore.”

“Also, there are some mid-level people beginning to question the orders they are receiving. There’s a lot of talk, questions being asked now by a few people in key DHS positions about what is taking place, and that’s making Napolitano and the White House very nervous. Anyone who questions the ‘militarization’ going on is either transferred out or given [expletive deleted] assignments.”

 

Disturbances

I asked if the plans could be disrupted, changed or if anything posed a valid threat to the agenda.

My source responded: ”The Arpaio investigation hit on something critical. I don’t know what it is, and maybe they’re holding something back, back whatever happened in the last 2 or 3 months really upset things, got some people scrambling. The White House, and again, Jarrett, ordered ‘Justice’ to turn up the heat against Sheriff Arpaio.”

“It’s interesting how the media has laid down and not reported on this investigation. There have been threats made, and not so subtle ones, either.”

“Also, ‘Fast and Furious’ is huge and leads right to the White House and ‘State,’ but according to my sources, won’t be an issue because the politicians in charge of the investigations have been compromised and threatened. Napolitano knows everything about Fast and Furious and is working with Holder to impede the investigations. She’s using her political clout. But damage control had taken time and a toll,” added my source.

In the end, though, I don’t think there’s enough to stop a second term. And should there be any hint of it, well, I told you, there are contingency plans for 2012.

“FOOL ME TWICE”: A must read for Obama’s Blueprint for America…if re-elected

This is the game changing book reveals the blueprint for a second term that President Obama and his progressive backers don’t want you to know. Months of painstaking research into thousands of documents have enabled investigative journalists and New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott to expose the secret template for Obama’s next four years — the one actually created by Obama’s own top advisers and strategists.Just as Obama concealed the true plans for his initial term behind rhetoric of ending partisan differences and cutting the Federal deficit, Obama’s re-election theme of creating jobs conceals more than it reveals about his real agenda for a second term. All the main areas of domestic policy are covered — jobs, wages, health care, immigration overhaul, electoral reform, national energy policy. Each of the plans exposed seek to permanently remake America into a government-dominated socialist state.Here are just a few samples from dozens upon dozens of specific schemes unveiled herein:

Detailed plans to enact single-payer health care legislation controlled by the Federal government regardless of any Supreme Court decision to overturn Obamacare;

The recreation of a 21st century version of FDR’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) program within the Department of Labor that would oversee a massive new bureaucracy and millions of new Federal jobs;

Further gutting of the U.S. military in shocking ways, while using the savings for a new green stimulus program and the founding of a Federal green bank to fund so-called environmentally friendly projects;

The vastly reduced resources of the U.S. Armed Forces will be spread even thinner by using them to combat global warming, fight global poverty, remedy injustice, bolster the United Nations and step up use of peacekeeping deployments;

An expansive new amnesty program for illegal aliens linked with a reduction in the capabilities of the U.S. Border Patrol and plans to bring in untold numbers of new immigrants with the removal of caps on H-1B visas and green cards.

“Fool Me Twice” is based on exhaustive research into the coming plans and presidential policies as well as the specific second term recommendations of the major progressive groups behind Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership – the organizations that help to craft the legislation and set the political and rhetorical agenda for the president and his allies.While many have general concerns about Obama’s second-term ambitions, Fool Me Twice lays bare the devastating details of a second Obama presidency. If he wins re-election in 2012, the America of equal opportunity for all, Constitutionally-limited government, economic freedom and personal liberty will be but a distant memory.

MILITARY INSIDER: President Obama – “By Any Means Necessary”

For the first time in over two years of ongoing interviews, a powerful and highly influential Wall Street insider allows for direct interview participation of a figure we will simply call “Military Insider”.  What follows is the first of a two part interview with both of these individuals who are warning of an impending manufactured crisis within the United States by powers desperate to secure a second term for “the man calling himself Obama”.  For those who have followed  these insider interviews from the beginning – you know just how accurate they have proven to be.  Please remind yourself of that as you read this latest discussion.

PART ONE:

UM: Can we begin?

WSI: (Broad smile) Yes – and might I just say this before we do…it is so very nice to see you again in person.

UM: I’m just as glad to see you looking so much better. Out of the woods?

WSI: No-no…at my age one is always “in the woods” if you will. But at this point, I’m not helping to fertilize the trees just yet! (laughs)

UM: Why did you decide to invite him here? I’m glad – honored, to have them here, but can you explain…briefly explain why you’ve done this?

WSI: Certainly. I invited…I guess that term is sufficient…I invited them here for no other reason than to have what they know and what their experience tells them – I wanted that perspective to now be included in this from the first person. I…we…-name deleted- and I decided it would be best, when possible, to have this information come to you without the filter of our own interpretations.

UM: How long have you known each other?

WSI: (Looks over at MI) That would be…nearly twenty years? Perhaps a bit more?

MI: Twenty three years.

WSI: That long? Really?

MI: Just over twenty-three years. That’s correct.

UM: Have you known –name deleted- that long as well?

MI: No.

WSI: I introduced them…it wasn’t more than a few years ago. Shortly after the election…in 2008. Shortly after –name deleted- told me there had been a terrible mistake made. That Obama being elected had been a terrible mistake. Then I began hearing similar things from him…the concern that was…mounting within the military and intelligence community regarding the new president.

UM: Can you expand on that? Those concerns. What were they?

WSI: You’ve already – we’ve already been down that path. A number of times.

UM: I’d like to hear it from him. If that’s ok. Their perspective. Unfiltered. Like you just said you wanted.

(Military Insider looks at WSI)

WSI: If they wish to share that with you…that is certainly fine. But I would caution there is a great deal of information that this interview is to…coordinate with your own efforts…you may not want to spend too much time rehashing what was. I would rather concentrate on what I now know that is going to be…or what some hope is to be.

UM: We’ve got time – I really want to hear them describe these concerns. It’s those concerns that pushed us to this point, right? So if you’re comfortable with that – please…you can be brief if you want…but tell us a bit about those concerns back then. After 2008. Or before 2008 if there were concerns before then.

MI: There were.

UM: Concerns? Before 2008? About Obama?

MI: Yes.

UM: What were they?

MI: The first real warning was Mr. Obama’s carpet bombing villages comment against the military. That…I apologize for the term…that pissed all of us off – or most of us. At least those of us not put in place by the communists. The pro-union…the pro-Big Labor faction.

UM: Did you just say communists? In the U.S. military?

MI: Yes.

UM: Please – can you please explain that.

MI: Communists. Communist supporters. Sympathizers. Or socialists. Or globalists might be the right…a more accurate term. Big government…One World…that whole concept. It’s real. As real these chairs. That wall. The air in your lungs.

UM: Agenda 21? That conspiracy theory? And the United States military?

MI: Yes – not a conspiracy. It’s real. It exists. And it’s happening right now.

UM: Agenda 21 is non-binding.

MI: That is…not accurate.

UM: No – it’s a non-binding agreement. It’s…it was more a show than anything of substance.

MI: No sir. You are wrong. Your dismissal…that was the outcome…that was the intended outcome of calling it that.

UM: What?

MI: Non-binding. Voluntary.

UM: But that’s what it is – it was a non-binding bullsh-t agreement for the environmentalists.

MI: It’s only as non-binding as the executives who will use the authority granted within that document choose to act on that authority.

UM: What?

MI: That document was a blueprint. Have you actually read it?

UM: Not…not all of it. No.

MI: Then why are you presuming to know what it is – or isn’t?

UM: I wasn’t presuming – or…I was trying to get around the idea of communists running the United States military.

MI: That’s not what I said.

UM: You just did – that’s…yes, that’s what you just said.

MI: No.

UM: Ok…you explain to me what you just said. About the communists, the globalists…all of that. What did you say?

MI: You posed a question about warnings regarding Mr. Obama? Before the 2008 election.

UM: Yeah – and you said that pissed off the military – at least those not put in place by the communists. That’s what you said. Right?

MI: Yes.

UM: So – what’s the problem?

MI: What I did not say was that communists were running the United States military. You said that. Not me.

UM: What’s the difference?

MI: Communists, Big Labor, globalists…those factions have infiltrated the U.S. military. They are not running the U.S. military. That is a distinction of epic proportions. You may not fully appreciated the difference but in my world – all due respect…in my world…BIG DIFFERENCE.

WSI: And this plan…the globalization of the American military…it’s been planned, slowly implemented…for a long time. It’s been happening right under our noses.

UM: It began with Agenda 21 – during the Clinton era?

MI: Incorrect.

UM: What?

MI: Agenda 21 did not begin during the Clinton era. It was developed long before that. In fact, it culminated under President Bush. HW.

WSI: But it goes back much farther than that. I only learned of this more recently myself.

MI: Yes sir – much farther. Decades of planning. A multiple series of five year plans.

UM: Five year plans?

WSI: Just like Stalin. A slow progression…a creeping monster that comes in five year increments. Cutting away at freedom and liberty and individuality.

MI: Yes sir. Just like that.

UM: So how far back does this Agenda 21 go?

MI: You are admitting you don’t know – but you were just attempting to explain to ME, what Agenda 21 was really about.

UM: Fair enough – I apologize for that.

MI: Accepted.

WSI: He’s like me – getting up to speed as it were. Please – continue.

MI: Yes sir.

(Pause)

Decades ago. The first official mark goes back to the early 1970’s. The birth of the modern environmental movement. Are you aware that the protection of the environment was placed as the most important issue – more than freedom, sovereignty of nations…environmentalism became the fixture of a full on assault against any nation’s own self determination.

Those who have spoken out against Agenda 21 – and there have been members of the military and intelligence communities who have…they understood the implications. These people are not conspiracy nuts. These people are patriots who understand the threat. The country – the United States, is under siege. It has been going on for a long time. Decades of planning. And now the planning stage is being transitioned into the implementation stage. Right now. It’s happening now.

WSI: And you are absolutely convinced of that? It’s happening now – the election of Barack Obama was the signal? Implementation of this globalization plan commenced at that time? Fully commenced? Right?

MI: Yes sir.

UM: How? (Pause) The…implementation? How does that work. By force? Using our own military against us?

MI: No. That would be too much of a risk…most of our military personnel are good men and women. They signed up. They took an oath. And they are doing their job. Remember, I indicated some inside the military were part of this globalization movement. Not all. Not most. But some.

UM: But some of these inside the military – they have influence?

MI: Yes. Appointed to positions of authority. By this administration.

UM: The Secretary of State? Panetta? I thought he was the real hero of the Bin Laden raid?

MI: He acted outside his direct authority. That action had little to nothing to do with the best interests of the United States.

UM: What do you mean?

MI: (Looks toward WSI)

UM: (Repeats question) What do you mean?

WSI: What they mean to say…if I may interject…is that Mr. Panetta’s motivations were…perhaps, a bit more… uncertain than many of us are comfortable admitting to. The fact he is a Clintonite means a great deal to –name deleted-. It means nothing to me. Nothing.

UM: So you don’t trust him?

WSI: No – I do not. I’ve never trusted any of them.

UM: Who?

WSI: Politicians. That’s much of my reason for never voting in an election. I find them all distasteful to some degree. Even the best of them.

UM: But you’re voting this time – in 2012.

WSI: That’s correct. While I find most politicians distasteful…I find the man calling himself Obama to be something else entirely.

UM: And what’s that?

WSI: Dangerous.

UM: So you’ve said – but getting back to the Agenda 21 thing…this whole globalization concept…it’s difficult to wrap my head around all of it without coming off…without sounding…

WSI: Crazy?

UM: Yeah – crazy.

WSI: That’s how it’s intended. Do that which you intend, and if any oppose that which you intend…mock them into submission while continuing on with your work. Call it outlandish, crazy, ridiculous, preposterous, all the while – continue doing the very thing they accuse of.

These Obama people are quite good at that.

UM: So the globalization thing…the plan…Agenda 21…it’s not just a Democrat thing?

MI: Correct.

UM: Republicans have gone along with it too?

MI: Correct. Let me clarify that a bit. If that’s ok?

UM: Please do.

MI: The architects are embedded within the various liberal sub groups, all of which are under the umbrella of today’s Democratic Party. They have been the ones to push this agenda – THE AGENDA…for the past several decades. There are Republicans…there have been Republicans, sympathetic to the superficial aspects of the plan.

(Long pause)

UM: You lost me. I get the liberal groups…I will assume the unions, the environmental groups…they are all in on the globalization plan. I get that. What do you mean by the superficial aspects of the plan? The…that part of it that attracts some Republicans?

WSI: If I may?

MI: Yes sir.

WSI: This is where the big money comes into play. Take for example, General Electric. A huge corporation with multiple subsidiaries…it is itself, a working, breathing, functioning, ever-evolving manifestation of this globalization movement. Massive amounts of dollars are spent developing public relations campaigns that infest the very fabric of the public conscience. Movies, television, music, fashion, consumable goods…it all becomes part of the implementation plan. Global cooling becomes global warming becomes climate change becomes sustainable resources…each of those are reading from the very same script.

And so as these concepts grow in popularity among the public…politicians bend their own vision to those concepts. They may do so not knowing of course the true motivations of those who have invented said concepts, but nevertheless, they become tools of the plan. They become that all-important “bi-partisan” support of those plans.

UM: So what’s the purpose of all of it? The plan? Globalization? Why? What’s the end goal?

WSI: First, and for us at this very moment, most important – is the total and irreversible transformation of the United States. If that is achieved – as the man calling himself Obama and all those who support him and have placed him in the White House…if that is achieved, then we are looking at a true one-world government ruled by a small group of elite who will control all aspects of production, dissemination of resources, how you are born, how you live, and how and when you are to die. There is a group who believes they will have a seat at that table of power – Big Labor, particular globalized financial institutions, certain business entities, they all share in a belief that the individual is simply too dumb, too un-evolved, to have to suffer through life on their own. They want to be told what to do. What to think. How to live.

UM: (turning to MI) Do you agree with that – it’s really that far-reaching? That’s where President Obama wants to take America? Take the world?

MI: Yes. I know it.

UM: How?

MI: (Looks to WSI)

WSI: Go ahead.

MI: Approximately two years ago…not quite two years ago…I received information pertaining to an election contingency plan. For 2012. After the 2010 elections there were particular operatives…specific to the Obama administration and Democratic Party leadership…indicating an overwhelming need to secure a second term for President Obama. That document’s title was…(pauses)

WSI: He can be trusted – I give you my word. Please proceed.

MI: That document’s title was “By Any Means Necessary”. It was unofficial – but we know it came directly from channels specific to the administration. We confirmed that.

UM: What channels? Who are you talking about?

MI: We believe it to have been authored by Mr. Sunstein. Reviewed and approved by Valerie Jarrett. Preparations for implementation are being done in part by Mr. Leo Gerard coordinating with…with high ranking officials within the Department of Justice, Homeland Security…and…the U.S. military.

UM: Leo Gerard? The union leader? How would he play a part in this?

The seldom seen or mentioned Leo Gerard with President Obama

WSI: Mr. Gerard has direct experience in toppling a government working directly with similar forces that would be in play here in the United States. You did some work on that…perhaps look more closely at what exactly happened in Brazil. It was a coup. An overthrow of government. A joint effort between Big Labor and certain business groups in which law enforcement helped facilitate the final push.

Brazil was a regime change orchestrated by Leo Gerard and soon after personally and financially congratulated by the President of the United States.

What is now being planned for the United States is not regime change – but the final implementation… and to use the words of the man calling himself Obama, the fundamental transformation of the United States of America that can only be assured by a second presidential term.

That plan to ensure a second Obama term as it has been titled, is to take place “By Any Means Necessary”.

PART TWO OF THIS INTERVIEW COMING SOON.

Look for comments in our comment section:

Iranian Arabic News Channel Reports Clinton Assassination Attempt in Israel

 

NOTHING Reported here on MSN…

Iran’s Arabic language al-Alam news channel reports that there was an assassination attempt on Secretary of State Hilary Clinton during her recent visit to Israel. Clinton’s motorcade was allegedly fired upon while traveling on a road to Jerusalem.

Read a translation of the al-Alam page here.

The attempted attack was not reported by the establishment media in the United States or Europe.

During the trip to Israel during the last leg of a 12-day, eight-nation tour, Clinton met with President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli leaders talked with the U.S. Secretary of State about Iran, its alleged nuclear weapons program, and the response to it by the United States and Israel.

Clinton also addressed Syria and said the United States is working on a new sanctions resolution in the United Nations “with consequences.” She again said that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad must step down.

Barack Obama Suffers From “Presidential Shrinkage”

Perhaps the 2012 presidential waters are too cold for Barack Obama?

EXCERPT:

The most telling moment of the campaign this week was not Mitt Romney or Joe Biden’s speech to the NAACP convention, but President Obama’s Tuesday appearance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Nor was it the content of Obama’s message that made his utterances noteworthy. It was the small venue: yet another community college. Now, Kirkwood Community College is no doubt a fine place, but Sports Authority Field at Mile High it is not. And one is unlikely to come across a better indicator of presidential shrinkage.

The White House took desperate pains to note that the president talked to an “overflow crowd.” What it did not mention was that an overflow crowd in a community college gym could not fill the seats in, say, the OSU stadium. There was a time when Obama regaled audiences of 30,000, 75,000, 80,000 people. Now he speaks to true believers at high schools. By the end of the campaign he may well find himself, like Spinal Tap, playing to a threadbare crowd at Themeland Amusement Park in Stockton, California (a city which, fittingly enough, is bankrupt). The sign outside: “PUPPET SHOW AND PRESIDENT OBAMA.” …

Muslims: ‘Wipe Christianity from the face of the earth.’

Threatens to place those who resist Islamic system of world government ‘under a police state.

Michael Carl is a veteran journalist with overseas military experience and experience as a political consultant. He also has two Master’s Degrees, is a bi-vocational pastor and lives with his family in the Northeast United States.

A Muslim group has released its plan to “wipe Christianity from the face of the earth,” Islamize the West and establish an Islamic system of world government – placing those who resist “under a police state.”

The 23-page booklet, “The Global Islamic Civilization: The Power of a Nation Revived,” is the brainchild of the United Muslim Nations International, a group led by Sheik Farook al-Mohammedi. The document outlines a plan for Muslim world domination and the re-establishment of the Caliphate.

Al-Mohammedi leaves no doubt about his view of Christianity.
“Christianity should be destroyed and wiped from the face of the earth,” al-Mohammedi said. “It is an evil demonic and Anti-Christ system, all Christians are in complete Ignorance.”

The sheik includes a veiled threat in his remarks.

“Islamic Power has returned upon the face of the earth and the Revived Global Caliphate has set eyes on the West to once and for all rid the world of Christianity and there is nothing you can do about it,” al-Mohammedi said.

He makes his objective clear.

“I have pledged and made a firm promise to the Caliphate of the United Muslim Nations International organization that I will do my utmost to Islamize all of the West within a short period of time,” al-Mohammedi said.

Al-Mohammedi’s views are reflected in the book, which calls on all Muslims to, “listen attentively (to the teaching in the booklet) so they may be able to feel the spirituality of an Islamic revival within themselves and they will be able to achieve the much needed upliftment (sic) and also a means in gaining the closeness of Allah Subahanhu wa-ta’ ala.”

The document is a clear statement on the organization’s objective. Page 2 explains that the emergence of an Islamic Caliphate is the ultimate goal of all Muslims.

“Firstly we will deal with the matter of the Global Islamic Civilization, its honored status, the unrivaled Universal Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Muslim Ummah,” the document states.

“Islam the only true religion enjoins upon mankind Total Submission to the will of Allah, which means that you are to live a life that is Totally Devoted to the Almighty Allah by serving Him in the manner which He has prescribed for us through the example of the Holy Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam,” the booklet said.

Al-Mohammedi declares that Western resistance to the worldwide Islamic movement is futile.

“Today as I breathe the air of our newly found Islamic State of America before my trip this week to Eurabia I leave behind me an Internationalist Islamic Ideology which will be the future of America and Europe Inshallah,” he said.

“None will resist, you will submit! Islam will conquer the hearts of all Christendom, this is a definite reality. Every government has surrendered to the Revived Global Caliphate and those nations who resist will be placed under a police state within their realm.”

Al-Mohammedi added that non-Muslims have no place in his vision for the world.

“The Dhimmis have no empire and no right to rule anywhere in the world. Earth belongs to us, all of it,” he said.

Al-Mohammedi didn’t respond to WND’s subsequent requests for an interview.

WND previously reported that al-Mohammedi complained about WND’s reporting and threatened to shut down WND.

“‘If you do not comply then WND and it’s (sic) employees will become targets for our UIA agents who will eliminate you within America,’ said an email today from Faarooq al Mohammedi, who has said he is working on behalf of a Muslim organization called United Muslim Nations International organization,” the WND story said.

Islam analyst, WND columnist and Atlas Shrugs publisher Pamela Geller said the document has one aim: global Islamic supremacy.

“This document is dedicated to a ‘revival of Islamic culture,’ by which is meant a restoration of ‘the Global Islamic Civilization, its honored status, the unrivaled Universal Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Muslim Ummah,’” Geller said.

She also noted that the booklet is completely in line with the stated goals of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“This refers, of course, to the restoration of the caliphate, the pan-national unity of the Muslims (which is also the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood),” she said.

Geller added that even though there are references to personal faithfulness in the document, it’s really a battle cry.

“So while the document speaks largely of matters of individual piety, marriage law, etc., it actually amounts to a call to warfare against and subjugation of non-Muslims under the Sharia,” Geller said.

She added, “In Islamic law only the caliph is authorized to declare and wage offensive jihad against infidel states. If the caliphate is restored, the present jihads worldwide will look like a time of peace compared to the wars that will be unleashed.”

American Enterprise Institute Middle East analyst Michael Rubin agreed, confirming, “the document is very much in line with jihadi philosophy.”

Islam analyst and Jihad Watch publisher Robert Spencer noted, “The document is pretty standard. However, it’s somewhat incoherently presented.”

Through his Media Matters organization, Soros is dumping pro-UN gun control propaganda into the mainstream media to coincide with the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty being held in New York July 2–27.

In a blog post published on July 3, Timothy Johnson of Media Matters describes the notion that the United Nations would ever try to take away the right of Americans to keep and bear arms “laughable.”

Johnson goes on to promote the passage of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) as a means of “curtailing the illicit arms trade” and thus cracking down on those who use these weapons to deny others their “human rights.”

The blog post assures citizens concerned about the potential eradication of the rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment to the Constitution that they have nothing to fear from the UN’s gun control treaty.

Top officials from the United Nations, the United States, and other high profile supporters have repeatedly and clearly said that the treaty does not aim to restrict anyone’s “freedom to own” a gun.  Indeed, the UN General Assembly’s resolution on the treaty makes clear that countries will “exclusively” maintain the right within their borders to “regulate internal transfers of arms and national ownership, including through national constitutional protections on private ownerships.”

Constitutionalists will instantly notice a couple of red flags raised by Media Matters’ word choice.

First, there need be no quotation marks around the phrase freedom to own a gun. Americans should enjoy the unqualified right to bear arms and it is not some antiquated idea or some unicorn-like mythical creature that requires special punctuational treatment. Americans are well aware that an unarmed citizenry is easier to subdue and will rightly resist all efforts to abridge that right.

Second, the citizens of the United States do not need the permission of the United Nations to maintain the “exclusive” right to own a gun. This right, as with all others protected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, comes from God, not man, and may be neither given nor taken away by any government.

Undaunted, however, Soros will continue to use his mouthpieces to promote the globalist agenda, including the incremental dismantling of the U.S. Constitution and the sovereignty it protects.

The current draft of the ATT mandates that the governments of member states petition the United Nations for approval of any contract to sell weapons to any nation where there exists a “substantial risk of a serious violation” of human rights.

While the end of reducing the abuse of human rights is laudable, the means to achieve that cannot lawfully include the requirement that the Congress of the United States ask for permission from the UN overlords before it passes a law, including one authorizing the sale of arms to another country. That is a direct assault on American legislative sovereignty, and an indirect attack on the sovereignty of the American people who elect the members of Congress who vote on such measures.

In the text of the ATT, the United Nations specifically calls for the passage of a legally binding instrument that will impose international standards for the ownership, trade, and transfer of weapons.

In another section the ATT includes “controls on a comprehensive list of weaponry, including small arms and light weapons.” Predictably, all these controls are couched comfortably in talk of “human rights” and ending senseless killings by rogue regimes.

In order to avoid being labeled a “human rights abuser,” the United States (along with all member states) is ordered by the UN to comply with the ATT. To compel this compliance, the ATT empowers the UN to force Congress to:

• Enact internationally agreed licensing requirements for Americans

• Confiscate and destroy unauthorized firearms of Americans while allowing the U.S. government to keep theirs

• Ban the trade, sale, and private ownership of semi-automatic guns

• Create and mandate an international registry to organize an encompassing gun confiscation in America

On this point, in 2011, the UN’s General Assembly declared “that disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation are essential.” In other words, if world peace, the protection of human rights, and the disarming of violent regimes could be achieved through the confiscation of personal firearms, then so be it.

Make no mistake, however, Soros and his fellow globalist gun controllers don’t have in mind (at least at first) to march blue-helmeted UN soldiers into the homes of Americans with orders to seize their guns and ammunition. Rather, through the passage of binding international treaties and UN resolutions, they will force the national governments of the world to do the dirty work for them.

Sadly, officials of our own federal government, including President Obama, are pushing Congress to sign off on this treaty.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the Obama administration is working with the UN to lean on Congress to consent to the ATT.

Clinton has pushed the treaty as an “opportunity to promote the same high standards for the entire international community that the United States and other responsible arms exporters already have in place to ensure that weaponry is transferred for legitimate purposes.”

There is little doubt that the scope of those “legitimate purposes” will be determined by Soros, Clinton, Obama, and the rest of the globalist gang who have much to fear from an armed and educated citizenry.

For now, the resistance to ratification of such a treaty is strong in the United States. Last July Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and 44 other senators sent a letter to President Obama and Secretary Clinton encouraging them to stop pushing for passage of UN gun control treaties. In the letter, Moran wrote:

Our country’s sovereignty and the Second Amendment rights of American citizens must not be infringed upon by the United Nations. Today, the Senate sends a powerful message to the Obama Administration: an Arms Trade Treaty that does not protect ownership of civilian firearms will fail in the Senate. Our firearm freedoms are not negotiable.

George Soros, through his Media Matters outlet, promises that “U.S. gun owners have nothing to fear” from the ATT or from similar UN agreements to restrict the manufacture, transfer, and possession of firearms. The globalists’ only goal, they maintain, is “the maintenance of international peace and security.”

For those whose fears are assuaged by such gentle words, we offer this competing comment from Benjamin Franklin written in a letter penned in 1755: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Christians stoned by crowd in Dearbornistan..

At the 2012 Arab Festival in Dearborn a small group of Christians holding Christian signs was physically assaulted by a large group of Muslims with bottles, stones, glass, concrete and other objects; they were verbally assaulted too. The Christians had gathered peacefully and were perfectly within their rights to express themselves the way they did. Legally and constitutionally they had every right to be where they were and do what they were doing. They were attacked because their Muslim attackers didn’t like them or their message and in the end they were forced to leave for their own safety.

All Americans’ right to free speech and freedom of expression have been attacked in Dearborn.

The Islamization of the United States is well and truly underway and it is long past time for Americans as a whole to wake up. How about starting by prosecuting to the full extent of the law everyone in Dearborn who attacked the Christians there?

How about voting President Obama out of office because he has aided and abetted the Islamization of the United States in any number of ways?

How about starting this July 4th, Independence Day, the day which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the country in 1776?

Dems had enough of Obama’s edicts and obstructionism- SMACK DOWN a’comin!

BOOM!

-Dems To Vote For Contempt Charge Against Eric Holder (WHI RELATED)
Democratic Party House member Steny Hoyer is openly indicating to the Obama White House to be prepared for Democrats to support a contempt charge against Obama Attorney General Eric Holder.

STENY HOYER (D) Maryland

EXCERPT:

Now that the politically potent National Rifle Association is keeping score, some Democrats may join House Republicans if there’s a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress in a dispute over documents related to a botched gun-tracking operation.

The chief Democratic House head counter, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, declined to tell reporters how many defections he expected, but acknowledged that some in his party would consider heeding the NRA’s call for a “yes” vote.

LINK

UPDATE:

A longtime D.C. political operative indicated this afternoon that as many as 30 Democratic members of Congress will join with the Republican House majority in voting in favor of a Contempt of Congress charge against Eric Holder should it come to a vote later this week.

They are throwing out the racism charge big time. So far Boehner ain’t blinking. More than a few whispers about

“Impeachment”!

They got something. It better be enough or this could blow up in our faces bad. Hanging way out there for Issa and Co right now. They better have what they promise or a bunch of us are gonna get stung bad on this. Right now though, there are as many as 30 Dems hinting they will vote for contempt. Got to think some of those votes are as much of a big f-ck you to Pelosi as anything. I would have had the vote on Wed instead of Thurs. Will get drowned out by the coverage on Obamacare ruling. Guessing that’s what Boehner wanted though. He’s still nervous. He isn’t running away, but he isn’t exactly throwing heavy punches yet either. Nice to see all the work coming toghether though. Wish the Old Man was more aware of how good we are doing right now. Shit. You hang tough too. Things getting done now. Enjoy the ride. But be ready for the bumps. No way we come out of this without some scrapes.

BIG HUGS… Ulsterman!

Obamacare remains overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people. Now the Supreme Court is on the brink of making it illegal as well…

Obamacare remains overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people.  Now the Supreme Court is on the brink of making it illegal as well…

The consistent unpopularity of Barack Obama’s healthcare law is a fact the Mainstream Media has purposely ignored for the last two years.  During the 2010 Midterm Election, scores of Democrats were swept from office for having supported Obamacare, and the Democratic Party itself lost control of the House.  Subsequent reports then came out showing the true cost of Obamacare to be far greater than the administration promised.  Was Barack Obama lying or simply incompetent?

Add to this more recent reports suggesting that Obamacare is actually widening the gap between rich and poor in America – in essence, further suffocating the Middle Class, as was outlined in this Forbes report:

Income inequality appears to be growing in the United States.  And while President Obama didn’t initiate the trend, his health care legislation will dramatically exacerbate it.

…ObamaCare Makes Income Inequality Worse

Because ObamaCare forces people to get comprehensive, and therefore expensive, health coverage, it actually makes the income inequality problem worse. Lower- and middle-income workers will see a much larger percentage of their income — which includes the employer’s contribution since that is part of total compensation — going to health insurance than higher-income workers.

Unless, of course, employers decide to drop their coverage and dump their employees into the heath insurance exchanges, as many surveyed employers have hinted.

And while the president thinks that comprehensive coverage helps workers, it actually hurts them because it represents a bigger portion of their income that someone else controls, and it means a loss of income as a greater percentage goes to health coverage.

It’s an irony that we’ve seen frequently from this administration: decrying certain economic trends while unwittingly enacting policies that make the situation worse. One day, perhaps soon, we may have an administration that actually understands economics.

WHI:Obama Owns Fast and Furious Now (UPDATED)

A quick update from a longtime D.C. political operative who indicated two years ago the Obama administration was facing a serious political crisis rooted within the Department of Justice.  With a contempt vote now looming over Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, and Barack Obama’s use of Executive Privilege in refusing to comply with Congressional requests for related Fast and Furious documents, – that political crisis foretold to readers of the UlstermanReport has now arrived in full.

I’m watching the news reports same as you.  Made a number of calls back to my people in D.C.  Getting many different versions of things but they all share the same thing and that is a real sense of urgency and shock at a couple of things.  One is the use of Executive Privilege by the Obama White House.  That makes a direct tie to the administration now.  The perception of that is now the reality of it.  Obama owns Fast and Furious.  He can’t walk that back.  It’s his.  He is telling Congress he won’t hand over docs.  The line in the sand was placed there by the president himself.  That alone has people really scrambling now to figure out how deep this thing could go.  Will it hurt the re-election.  Will there be blowback against the party.  Basically all the things I told you were concerns before have now become concerns.  And some of them I told myself months and well over a year ago to prepare.  Some listened.  Some didn’t.  Poor bastards who didn’t.

Second, something just now breaking out is Holder walked back a Blame Bush statement he gave to Congress just last week.  Fast and Furious was nothing like anything the Bush boys did.  Bush era program was much smaller and had the full cooperation of the Mexican authorities.  Holder lied when he attempted to link the two and now he is already trying to correct that testimony from one week ago.  This kind of sloppy mistake is a clear sign he’s in big trouble and really feeling the heat.  It’s also a signal to party leaders and the White House he is falling apart on this.

Obama is saying to Congress “come and get me if you dare”.  Now we gotta see if Republicans dare.  It’s an election year so the White House is banking on enough Republicans in the leadership to not want to look like they are beating up too bad on Obama.  They fear the race card.  Part of me says they are a bunch of spineless pukes for that fear and the political operative in me understands the concern.  The White House is more than willing to push that race issue much farther than we have seen already.  You know what I’m talking about there.

So now we wait to see what the Republicans do.  Contempt vote?  How hard are they gonna fight the Executive Privilege order?  Are they willing to make this a presidential election year issue?  Word back to me is some are.  Some don’t even care about the politics of it.  They are pissed and disgusted by what this administration and Eric Holder have done.  It’s a fight of principle vs politics within the Republican Party right now.

Lastly I want to give a nod to the Old Man.  This entire Fast and Furious thing was a slow drip not so long ago.  He made a push on some folks who in turn had a few meetings on the Hill and got this thing going again.  At least he was a big help in that.  Not sure if you know but there’s been another health setback for him and we probably won’t hear from them for a bit.  I’ll update you on that situation as soon as I know anything more.  It’s not hopeless but it’s not good.  Say some prayers for him.  He really wants to make it to the next inauguration.

I’m on the road but like I said, am keeping contact back in D.C.  If there is anything new on FnF will clue you in when I can.

UPDATE:

  This follow up from WHI is now included in this original report:

Received in-house word regarding “scrambling” at the White House.   Something has them very spooked.  I hinted at this to you last week regarding the meeting that had staff coming out looking very concerned. The Grassley message had to have shook them up.  Told Issa has been repeating comparisons to Watergate to staff and fellow House members.  White House must be aware Issa and Co. might have something that could inflict a hell of a lot of damage.

Dem leadership sent out signals to staff to prepare for necessary insulation from the White House to limit damage to individual campaigns.  Black Caucus member engaged in a 10 minute “explosive” rant against someone from Issa’s office following a recess.  Some Dems getting openly fearful and aggressive.  Chaffetz had “face to face” with one of them.  He is proving very willing to aggressively engage the opposition at any time.

This is far from won but recent events are proving to be damn favorable to those of us who want to defeat the president.

Don’t get over confident though.  This administration is gonna fight this hard. 

I’ve been called back.  That indicates this has become real important real fast to a lot of real important people.

UPDATE #2:

Yesterday afternoon, the House Oversight Committee voted in favor of a contempt charge being issued against Obama Attorney General Eric Holder.

(h/t to Ulsterman for keeping us abreast of the latest developments on F&F.. and The WHI for pushing for results coming to fruition in the ongoing investigation…

Obama Democrats Defend Eric Holder’s DOJ Killing Of Whites And Mexicans

How does a Democrat Congressman describe an Obama Attorney General who is responsible for the deaths of U.S. border agents and hundreds of Mexican civilians? “Honorable”.

Congresman Elijah Cummings has spent his entire political career cashing in on both the color of his skin and his long-ago affiliation with the Civil Rights Movement. He has been, and remains, among the most prolific race-baiting national politicians in the history of America. Most recently he once again threw out the charge of racism against a white reporter who dared interrupt the president who was in the process of violating the Constitution and granting sweeping reforms to national immigration laws. Congressman Cummings declared racism to be the true motivation behind that interruption.

Now the Congressman comes to the defense of Obama Attorney General Eric Holder – declaring that Mr. Holder has acted “honorably” in his duties at the Obama DOJ:

“I think Eric Holder has acted honorably, he’s done everything he could to allow us to do our job, which is to investigate this matter,” Cummings said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.

I really don’t think it is necessary” to go forward with contempt proceedings, Cummings said Tuesday morning. “I think we can resolve this.”

____________________

Isn’t it interesting how Congressman Cummings ignores the the deaths of minorities and whites even as those deaths were at least in part, made possible by Eric Holder’s failed leadership and oversight at the Department of Justice? For those who have never seen Elijah Cummings in action attempting to string together even the briefest of coherent thoughts, while always maintaining his race-card playing status- this video should prove educational as Mr. Cummings discusses with fellow Hall of Fame race-baiter Al Sharpton:

(h/t Ulsterman…

U.S. Border Patrol Group Tells Eric Holder – GET OUT.

The National Border Control Council sends a powerful message to Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder – resign now.

EXCERPT:

The National Border Patrol Council, which represents all 17,000 of the agency’s non-supervisory agents, called Monday for the resignation of Attorney General Eric H. Holder for his role in the botched “Fast and Furious” gunrunning operation that resulted in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Council President George E. McCubbin III, a 25-year Border Patrol veteran, described Mr. Holder’s actions in the case as “a slap in the face to all Border Patrol agents who serve this country,” adding that the attorney general showed “an utter failure of leadership at the highest levels of government.”

…He noted that a Border Patrol agent cannot accidentally step foot in Mexico without a myriad of U.S. and Mexican government agencies being made aware, so there would have been no possible way that Fast and Furious was conducted without the knowledge and tacit approval of the Justice Department and the Obama administration.

Eric Holder Tells Congressman Issa – Let’s Make A Deal…

Clearly fearing for his job now that Congressional Republicans and even some among the Mainstream Media are asking increasingly tough questions surrounding the Fast and Furious and White House leak scandals, a panicked Eric Holder asks Republican Darrell Issa to accept a deal.  Will Issa agree?

EXCERPT:

In a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Holder said he was prepared to make “an extraordinary accommodation” to congressional investigators by turning over internal DOJ documents to the House panel related to Fast and Furious. Holder has previously asserted that such documents are not covered by committee subpoenas.

In addition, Holder wants to meet personally with Issa by Monday to ensure they can reach a deal.

”The Department’s willingness to provide these materials is a serious, good faith effort to bring this matter to an amicable resolution,” Holder said in his letter to Issa. “However, because as the Chairman only you have the authority to bind the committee, I continue to believe that a meeting is required both to assure that there are no misunderstandings about this matter and to confirm that the elements of the proposal we are making will be deemed sufficient to render the process of contempt unnecessary. I seek your direct engagement for precisely that reason, and I propose that the meeting occur by Monday, June 18, 2012.”

Holder has also portrayed the Justice Department as willing to compromise with the congressional probe of the failed Fast and Furious program, which allowed guns sold in the United States to go Mexican drug cartels. Two U.S. law enforcement agents were later killed with some of the weapons.

ROAR! New Document Leak Proves Barack Obama’s Anti-American Administration

At a time when American businesses and jobs continue to struggle amidst the Obama recession, a newly leaked document proves just how willing the president will go to favor foreign business over American business – even inside the borders of the United States.  Had enough yet America?

Here is the headline from a just released report from the Huffington Post:

Obama Trade Document Leaked, Revealing New Corporate Powers And Broken Campaign Promises

And within this report is the following paragraph that should outrage any American citizen – a paragraph that proves the anti-American globalist outlook of President Barack Obama at a time when American companies and jobs are struggling, this president is doing the following:

“Under the agreement currently being advocated by the Obama administration, American corporations would continue to be subject to domestic laws and regulations on the environment, banking and other issues. But foreign corporations operating within the U.S. would be permitted to appeal key American legal or regulatory rulings to an international tribunal. That international tribunal would be granted the power to overrule American law and impose trade sanctions on the United States for failing to abide by its rulings.”

   LINK

____________________________

That paragraph, and the leaked document it originates from, should prove among the most damaging arguments against a second term for Barack Obama.  How far and how willing is a President of the United States willing to go to sell out his own country to his own globalization goals?  Apparently as far as it takes.

LET EVERYONE KNOW IF THIS DOCUMENT LEAK AND WHAT IT SAYS.  EVERYONE.

BARACK OBAMA’S ANTI-AMERICAN OUTLOOK HAS BEEN PROVEN.

BARACK OBAMA MUST BE DEFEATED IN 2012.

______________

“Just two months ago, I could but whisper.

Now I prepare to roar.

Watch for it.”

Barack Obama’s Drone Empire

A just released Inspector General report indicates the Obama administration ordered far more drones than the government knows what to do with…

This latest report offers up yet further proof of Barack Obama’s odd obsession with drone technology outlined in such striking terms by our own political insider:

UM:  The president you mean?  He watches videos of the drone attacks?

WHI:  Yeah – like it was…like it was porn.  I can’t emphasize…I don’t think I’m painting a clear enough picture here for you of how this thing has people really freaking out inside the administration.  It’s good on one hand because it’s got more of them willing to talk…but…the fact it’s gotten this bad…these drones…an American president who has the video sent up to his personal study so he can watch them over and over again…like I said – sh-t ain’t right.  And more and more people are figuring that out – and that is what has Jarrett concerned.  But even she…Obama won’t listen to her on this one.  Those drones are the one thing he really feels he has control over…all the rest…he’s been told what to say and where to go…when to wake…when to sleep…but the drones.  The drones are all his – and he ain’t given those up.  For nobody.

UM: So Jarrett is against the use of drones?

WHI: No-no-no…I ain’t said that. Far from it. The drones are all part of this…the big big picture here…what she’s concerned over is that her boy…the president…he’s gotta get it under control…his obsession with using them like he has. The weekly meetings, the kill list…I mean c’mon now…he’s got his own personal kill list. The guy who campaigned against Bush era interrogations…Obama don’t interrogate. He picks a name off a list…some of these people have beenU.S. citizens…he picks that name off a list and orders the kill. Then he gets the video confirmation of the kill…and he watches it. Over and over and over again.

OBAMA’S HIGH-TECH SNUFF FILMS

UPDATE:Now read this update on the just-released Inspector General study on Obama’s drone program:

The Homeland Security Department ordered so many drones it can’t keep them all flying and doesn’t have a good plan for how to use them, according to a new audit that the department’s inspector general released Monday.

In a blunt assessment, investigators said Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Air and Marine has a fleet of nine “unmanned aircraft systems” and is awaiting a 10th — though it doesn’t have enough ground support and doesn’t have a good plan for prioritizing missions.

“CBP procured unmanned aircraft before implementing adequate plans,” the investigators said.

…Investigators also said CBP, at the behest of the State Department, has held “discussions with another country on the use of unmanned aircraft.”

Updated: PROOF: Barack Obama Was In Fact A Card-Carrying Socialist…

While many consider Barack Obama as the most radical left wing figure to ever occupy the White House, a now breaking story has perhaps uncovered proof that the current President of the United States was in fact a card-carrying Socialist Party member.

EXCERPT:

Barack Obama was, in fact, a member of the socialist New Party in the 1990s and sought its endorsement for the Illinois senate–contrary to the misrepresentations of Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008, and in spite of the efforts of Politico’s Ben Smith to quash the story.

Stanley Kurtz, author of Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism (2010), has released new “smoking gun” evidence at National Review Online. It is evidence that the mainstream media can no longer ignore–and Obama can no longer deny.

 Now, through careful archival research, Kurtz has proven his case–and proven once again that there are many people on the left who have been willing to misrepresent and obscure facts about Barack Obama, as well as many in the mainstream media who have acted as Obama’s accomplices rather than searching for the truth.

Now, through careful archival research, Kurtz has proven his case–and proven once again that there are many people on the left who have been willing to misrepresent and obscure facts about Barack Obama, as well as many in the mainstream media who have acted as Obama’s accomplices rather than searching for the truth.
Kurtz writes:

Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:

Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.

…Obama was not the only one who lied, according to Kurtz:

Although Obama is ultimately responsible for deceiving the American people in 2008 about his political background, he got help from his old associates. Each of the two former political allies who helped him to deny his New Party membership during campaign ’08 was in a position to know better.

As for the group’s socialist ideology, Kurtz says, the documents he has recovered leave no doubt:

The documents reveal that the New Party’s central aim was to move the United States steadily closer to European social democracy, a goal that Mitt Romney has also attributed to Obama. New Party leaders disdained mainstream Democrats, considering them tools of business, and promised instead to create a partnership between elected officials and local community organizations, with the goal of socializing the American economy to an unprecedented degree.

Kurtz ends by challenging the mainstream media to the opposite of what they did in 2008–to follow up on the facts he has uncovered, and “to report that President Obama once joined a leftist third party, and that he hid that truth from the American people in order to win the presidency.” And he hints that there are more facts to come.

We Will Not Relinquish Our Sovereignty to The New World Order…

American Freedom Alliance Conference To Focus On How Global Governance Undermines National Sovereignty

Is the West’s and America’s next–and perhaps most important–ideological war between global governance and  national sovereignty? (connected to Law of the Sea Treaty)

Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) needs to be extensively modified if not rejected altogether. Thirty years ago, President Reagan wisely shelved this UN project. He viewed it, as most Americans who have serious concerns about that world body viewed it, as a typical example of liberal internationalist global oney. Jimmy Carter, probably sensing that he would get the boot from American voters, began trolling for votes on the Nobel Peace Prize committee through such ill-considered measures.

First, we need to throw overboard any “International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.” The UN would choose this maritime court. How do we like the UN Human Rights Council? That body contains such human rights offenders as China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, and, until it was just too blatantly obvious to continue, Libya.

If this is the UN’s idea of human rights, can we imagine what a Law of the Sea Tribunal would look like? Perhaps we could persuade Johnny Depp to do a star turn with his fellow “Pirates of the Caribbean” as judges of the sea. That would be a tribunal less hostile to justice than anything we’d see in a UN nominated and elected maritime court.

That is the provocative–and important–question that will be discussed at the “Global Governance vs. National Sovereignty”  conference on June 10 and 11 in Los Angeles, California at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Avi Davis, president of the American Freedom Alliance, told Breitbart News the conference will be issuing a declaration on preserving national sovereignty that will be sent to world leaders and former world leaders, to which all of the conference’s participants have agreed upon in advance. Davis said his group has also been “working with several foreign policy advisers of the Romney campaign in an effort to feed them information about the seriousness of the global governance message” and have made efforts to reach out to the Sovereignty Caucus on Capitol Hill and to Senators such as John Kyl (R-Ariz.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) who are concerned about the dangers of international law in undermining American sovereignty.

“We need…to expose the true motivations…of those pushing international standards in human rights, environmental regulation and the laws of war upon us,” Davis told Breitbart News. “It is not to better our lives – or anybody else’s lives. It is to control us.”

Leaders such as Former Australia Prime Minister John Howard, Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus and America’s former Ambassador to the United Nations under the George W. Bush Administration, John Bolton, will deliver addresses examining “whether the forces of global governance are successfully challenging the very concept of national sovereignty in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.” The two-day conference will also focus on how the rise of transnational law at the U.S. Supreme Court, the United Nations, human rights NGOs and organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch threaten America’s national security policies and can potentially undermine American sovereignty.

“As we enter the second decade of the 21st Century, an epic struggle seems to be developing between the forces of global governance and American constitutional democracy,” the conference’s organizers write in introduction to the conference’s agenda. “Transnationalists in the United Nations and the European Union, but more more importantly among America’s elites, are seeking to establish a ‘global rule of law’ which would make American constitutional law subservient to a global authority.”

Most importantly, the conference will seek to ask: “How can a vigorous defense of sovereign self-government be mounted so that it becomes a central issue in our foreign policy debate?”

Former Ambassador to United Nations John Bolton will keynote a speech (“What is the global governance movement and what is its agenda?”) while Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus will deliver an address on the promotion of global governance through the United Nations and global warming alarmism. Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard will give a speech on why nation states still matter.

Other speakers include Davis, Breitbart News’ Stephen K. Bannon, Robert C. O’Brien, Managing Partner of the Los Angeles office of Arent Fox law firm and a regular commenter on national security issues, Roger Simon, the co-founder of Pajamas TV, and former Bush Administration Justice Department official and Berkeley law professor John Yoo, whose upcoming book, Taming Globalization, examines how “American sovereignty channels and resists efforts at global governance.”

Various breakout sessions will focus on topics such as “non-governmental organizations as purveyors of global governance,” whether Europe is a model for transnational global governance, the Green movement, Agenda 21, and global warming alarmism as fronts for global governance, and how rules governing the Internet can also be used to undermine national sovereignty.

Other breakout sessions will focus on how specific laws that purportedly deal with things such as “global warming” can be applied to undermine sovereignty. One session is titled, “Lawfar: its uses and abuses.” Other will focus on “the human rights industry and its role in undermining sovereignty,” “the demonization/diminishment of the United States and Israel as a chief global governance strategy,” and “case studies of U.S. judicial decisions which have diminished U.S. sovereignty.”

The conference will also have panels dealing with “the politicization of International Law and its impact on national sovereignty” and an important workshop on how people can “use the political process to thwart and defeat global governance activism.”

The conference’s full agenda can be seen here.

A hearing has been scheduled in a Florida court to allow attorneys representing the White House to support their claim that the term “natural born citizen” in the U.S. Constitution means something other than the offspring of two American citizens.

Judge Terry Lewis in Leon County has set a hearing for June 18 to consider arguments from both sides of a challenge to Obama’s name on the 2012 state election ballot.

Lewis is credited with making crucial rulings in the contested 2000 presidential election, when ultimately a Florida vote recount was halted by the U.S. Supreme Court and George W. Bush was declared the winner.

Attorney Larry Klayman’s law firm filed the challenge to Obama’s name on the ballot on behalf of Democrat Michael Voeltz, “a registered member of the Democrat Party, voter, and taxpayer in Broward County, who was an eligible elector for the Florida Primary of Jan. 31, 2012.”

Klayman’s work is being supported by ConstitutionActionFund.org, a non-profit raising money for the legal challenge.

Klayman told WND that during a hearing today on discovery issues in the case, Lewis noted that while Klayman’s brief cited a U.S. Supreme Court’s decision defining “natural born citizen” as the offspring of two citizens of the nation, the White House’s arguments provided no citations.

Sign the petition now to show members of Congress just how many Americans demand constitutional integrity.

Klayman had cited the U.S. Supreme Court case Minor v. Happersett from 1875.

Lewis ordered further briefing on the issue before the hearing.

The definition of the term is critical. Such a step has not been reached in any of the more than 100 legal cases that have been brought over Obama’s eligibility since before his election in 2008.

The U.S. Constitution imposes a special citizenship status requirement on occupants of the Oval Office. The “natural born citizen” requirement is not imposed on other federal officials. From the writings of the Founders, its apparent aim was to ensure that no person who had divided loyalties – to the United States and to any other nation – would serve as commander in chief.

The Minor v. Happersett ruling defines “natural born citizen” as the offspring of two U.S. citizens.

But since the term is not defined in the Constitution, there are many who equate being a “citizen” or a “native-born citizen” with being a “natural born citizen.”

It appears that a court ruling on the definition could been coming, Klayman said.

Klayman has argued that since Obama was not born to two citizen parents, he is is not a “natural born citizen” as required by Article II of the Constitution and, therefore, is ineligible to be a candidate on the state’s election ballot.

Klayman explained in his court filings that Florida’s election statutes provide broad protections for voters to ensure that the integrity of the election system is beyond reproach. One of the laws allows voters to challenge the nomination of a candidate who is not eligible for the office he is seeking.

Voeltz, a registered Democrat, challenged Obama’s eligibility because the president’s father was not an American citizen.

“The framers were not stupid. They understood that a president with divided loyalties could present a security and other risks for our nation,” said Klayman.

“Obama’s Muslim heritage, which emanates from his Kenyan father (who had to be deported from the U.S.), frankly explains why he frequently sides with and takes actions to further the interests of Muslim nations against the United States; specifically his refusal to take forceful action against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leaders over nuclear armament and human rights violations and atrocities,” Klayman said.

Klayman told WND that the case is in the discovery stage in which attorneys are supposed to be able to request documents, evidence and testimony that would further refine and define the issues in dispute for the court.

“Obama’s briefs [said] it would be an undue burden and expense to have discovery,” Klayman said.

Then the judge said he wanted Obama’s representatives to cite the “authority” on which they based their argument that it isn’t necessary to have two citizen parents to be a natural-born citizen.

On the Steady Drip blog, where contributors document progress in the Florida case, was the “bare essence” of the argument:

1. The sitting president’s birth certificate is fraudulent. 2. The sitting president is not a natural born citizen, and is therefore ineligible for the presidency, because his father was not a U.S. citizen.

The commentary said the obvious conclusion is that Obama is not able to be elected as president.

WND earlier reported on the case, which raises some of the same issues that have been raised in other state ballot challenges across the nation.

Specifically it alleges:

On or about April 2011, only after years into his presidency, and under media and political pressure, Barack Hussein Obama published on the Internet an electronic version of a purported birth certificate alleging his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961, to American citizen mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and Kenyan British subject father, Barack Obama Senior.”

There is credible evidence indicating that this electronically produced birth certificate is entirely fraudulent or otherwise altered. No physical, paper copy of the actual long form birth certificate has been produced in order to definitively establish Barack Hussein Obama’s birth within the United States.”

The action follows by only weeks the release of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigation into Obama’s antecedents. The six-month-long investigation done by professional law enforcement officers working on a volunteer basis for Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse found that there is probable cause to believe there was forgery involved in the production of Obama’s birth certificate, and fraud in presenting that document as a genuine document.

The case explains that even if Barack Hussein Obama was born within the United States, he is still not a ‘natural-born citizen’ as required by the U.S. Constitution. That’s because, “Barack Obama Sr. was born in the British Colony of Kenya on June 18, 1936. Birth in Kenya made Barack Obama Sr. a British subject, according to and governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.”

Obama’s attorneys previously had been unsuccessful in dismissing the case.

“In Florida the voter has more rights to contest elections than in most other states,” Klayman told WND. “And we have a judge who is not afraid to make hard decisions; Judge Terry Lewis. In the Gore v. Bush case he ruled on occasion in favor of Bush even though he generally leans left. I am hopeful he will do the right thing and rule that the Florida Secretary of State must verify Obama’s eligibility to be on the ballot for the Florida presidential election.”

A case filing explains: “No physical, paper copy of defendant Obama’s birth certificate has been presented to establish his eligibility. … Defendant Obama has electronically produced a copy of what he purports to be his ‘birth certificate.’ Nevertheless, there is evidence to suggest that the electronically produced birth certificate is entirely fraudulent or otherwise altered.”

The argument also cites Barack Obama Sr.’s birth in Kenya, making him a “British subject.”

“The British Nationality Act of 1948, Part 2, Section 5, Clause 1, makes Defendant Obama, the son of a British subject, also a British subject at birth. At best, defendant Obama was born a dual citizen of Britain and the United States. These facts make clear that defendant Obama was not a ‘natural born citizen’ as required by the U.S. Constitution.”

The fact that state officials have sworn an oath to “support, protect, and defend” the Florida and U.S. constitutions means the issue needs an answer, the brief argues, and state officials are “duty bound to uphold the eligibility requirements.”

Named as defendants are Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner and the state Elections Canvassing Commission.

It was only days earlier when former New York Gov. David Paterson suggested on his radio show that Obama possibly “got away with” being an ineligible president in the Oval Office.

DOJ and IRS to Train Black Churches to Campaign for Obama

Just when you think you’ve seen it all… Obama’s dictatorship style DOJ drops a new level of shock on us all. Swallow your drink and then read this.

Attorney General Eric Holder, the IRS, and the liberal lawyers at the ACLU will brief several hundred pastors in the African American community on how to participate in the presidential election — which the Congressional Black Caucus chair expects will help President Obama’s campaign.

“We will have representatives from nine denominations who actually pastor somewhere in the neighborhood of about 10 million people, and we’re going to first of all equip them with the information they need to know about what they can say and what they cannot say in the church that would violate their 501c3 status with the IRS,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., told MSNBC today.

“In fact, we’re going to have the IRS administrator there, we’re going to have the Attorney General Eric Holder there, we’re going to have the lawyers’ organization from around the country, the ACLU — all giving ministers guidance about what they can and cannot do,” he noted.

If I read this correctly, it appears as though the IRS and DOJ are going to teach black churches how to skirt the law on campaigning as a non-profit entity. Surely the act of the training in and of itself is illegal, no? -Eric Odom

Memorial Day… VIETNAM 50th ANNIVERSARY

(ABC7/AP) – Memorial Day in 2012 bore extra meaning for those who served and fought during the Vietnam War, as this year commemorates the 50th anniversary of America’s first involvement in the conflict.

And, for the first time on Monday, Vietnam veteran Raul Barerra brought his family to the place that cuts so deep – the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall – and that reminds him of decades of missing two childhood friends.

“Maybe, someday, we’ll walk the streets in heaven together, like we did back home,” he said.

This year’s Memorial Day marked the beginning of a 13-year project to commemorate and remember American involvement in Vietnam. Speaking at the memorial, Obama said of the veterans of that war served with “just as much patriotism and honor as any before you.”

Soros Establishing PR Media Training To Downplay Islamic Threat…

 

Culture and Media Institute:

Program launched to teach press about Muslim sensitivities, blames ‘right-wing activists.’

A new course on Islam designed for journalists tries to minimize the impact and importance of ”jihad” by comparing it to the number of murders in America each year. That same course claims ”right-wing activists” tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism and doesn’t mention examples of Islamic attacks on press freedom.

That’s the way a prominent news organization is teaching journalists in a three-hour online course. The Poynter News University, part of the Poynter Institute, launched the free course ”Covering Islam in America” to guide the media on their coverage of Muslim communities.

The George Soros-funded Social Science Research Council, which received $50,000 from the Open Society Institute ”For Initiative on HIV/AIDS and Social Transformation,” is one of the groups behind the initiative, along with the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University. That fits with a theme for liberal financier Soros, who has spent more than $52 million on influencing the media. The Islamic course also links to another Soros-funded entity, the well-financed Center for American Progress.

In about 30 pages of text with links to other reports and articles, journalists can go through and read about the history of Islam, Muslims in America, and how to cover stories on Islam. Besides learning basic facts about Muslims and their history, the course adds ways to put ”jihad” into perspective, attack conservatives, and provide a list of liberal groups that can be contacted for expert advice and quotes.

The pre and post-assessments give a hint as to the nature of the course. One question asked, ”What grievances might sources associated with ‘Political Islam’ hold against Western journalists?” The answer is that ”Western journalists are seen as all of the following: ”hostile to Islam,” ”focus too much on Islamic violence,” ”viewed as water carriers for Western government agendas,” and ”thought to be unable to understand Islam unless they embrace Islam.”

Course instructors Lawrence Pintak and Stephen Franklin are both former foreign correspondents. Pintak serves as dean at The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University, which is a partner of the project. He also has two books on journalism and Islam and defends the biased, activist network Al Jazzera English.

This course is ”A project of The Poynter Institute funded by The Knight Foundation.” Soros’s Open Society Foundations have worked closely with The Knight Foundation. They partnered up to start the Investigative News Network, which received $200,000 from the Knight Foundation and $100,000 from the Open Society Foundations. The Knight Foundations President and CEO, Alberto Ibarguen, is also on the board for AOL and yet another key Soros backed group, the progressive investigative reporting start-up ProPublica.

There is some useful information in the Islamic course for those journalists that did not pay attention in their history classes and are ignorant of Islamic beliefs. However, this does not excuse statements that accuse conservatives of bigotry.

”Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a group of right-wing activists who view themselves as ‘anti-Jihadists’ have aggressively tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism overseas and in the United States. You can learn more about some of these groups in the following…”

The reports that journalists are told to look at to uncover the ”right-wing activists” agenda are even more telling. The first is a report from none other than the Soros-funded progressive group Center for American Progress, which received $7.3 million from the Open Society Foundations since the year 2000.

Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America, details charitable groups that ”spent almost $43 million financing anti-Muslim campaigns.” One of the coauthors of the report is the Koch-hating Lee Fang, who writes for Center’s left-wing blog Think Progress. Fang continuously goes after the Koch brothers for their contributions to conservatives and Tea Party support.

The other report is by The Tennessean in Nashville titled Anti-Muslim Crusaders Make Millions Spreading Fear. This article details the story of ”activists who have raised millions of dollars after they convinced donors that the nation’s Muslim population posed a security threat.”

Another section of the course also encourages journalists to add context to their stories. They note it is important to explain political motives stating ”Politicians do not oppose or support proposed mosques and other Muslim-American projects without taking into account their own interests.”

One of the more offensive statements is that ”context is essential in covering this global story in a way that does not amplify fears of jihad.” Journalists ”are far more likely to report on jihad-related incidents than other violence’ which gives people a ”skewed impression of the prevalence of jihad.”

In order to combat this, journalists are told to compare the ”approximately 3,000 people killed on Sept. 11, 2001” by terrorists to the general murder rate:

”To give those numbers some context, the FBI reports that approximately 15,000 people in the U.S. are murdered each year (A half-million individuals die each year from nutritional deficiencies, more than 800,000 from malaria, and two million from HIV/AIDS.) Jihad is not a leading cause of death in the world, even in the three countries that account for the bulk of the casualties: Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.”

The first section of the course described Shariah law and the concerns surrounding it. ”Most Americans have heard some reference to Shariah law. There is even a movement in the U.S. dedicated to fighting what its members claim is the encroachment of Shariah, or Islamic law, in this country.”

Without describing the concerns about the encroachment of Shariah law within the U.S., the course blandly described Shariah and compared it to other religions.

”Shariah literally means the “straight path.” It is Islamic law based upon the Quran, the Hadith and the Sunna, which are the habits and customs of the Prophet Muhammad. At some level, Shariah governs every aspect of Muslim life. However, just as some Catholics might ignore strictures on birth control or Jews may eat pork, Muslims also sometimes veer off “the straight path.”

While Catholics may ignore birth control rules or Jews may eat pork, they are rarely killed for doing so. In Islamic countries that abide by Shariah law, including Saudi Arabia and Iran, ”non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law‘ and one can be stoned to death, beheaded, or flogged for ”crimes of sin such as adultery,” as described by Former Muslims United Director Nonie Darwish. Just a week ago, a Sudanese worker was executed in Saudi Arabia for ”sorcery.”

Besides leaving out the violent nature of Shariah law, other important facts about radical Islam and journalism are omitted. No where in the course does it mention The Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard who published a cartoon of Muhammad sparked global riots around the globe. Protesters in 2006 ”burnt embassies and stormed several European buildings in a wave of rioting and flag-burning in which more than 100 people were killed.” There was even an assassination attempt four years later.

Nor does it mention Molly Norris, another cartoonist who changed her name and went into hiding ”on the insistence of top security specialists at the F.B.I.” She was ”threatened by Islamic extremists’ for promoting ”Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” on the internet after Comedy Central ”edited out references to Muhammad from an episode of ‘South Park’ that month’ which ”triggered threats from extremists.”

This isn’t the first time Soros foundations have advocated for Islamic causes. Soros’s Open Society Foundations have funded and hosted events that promote similar ideas. Their ”At Home in Europe Project ”explored Muslim integration in cities across Europe. ”As a result of the attacks in New York, Madrid, and London, Muslim communities in Europe today are under heightened scrutiny. Yet, there is also increasing acknowledgment of the prejudice Muslims experience and the social and economic disadvantages they suffered.”

An OSI forum from 2004 had Olivier Roy discussed his book Globalized Islam, ”neo-fundamentalist movements, in particular al Qaeda, as a direct response to globalization pressures exerted by Western cultural and economic values. ‘Islamic radicalization is a pathological consequence of Westernization,” he said.’

Another OSI forum summary, this time from 2006, was described on its website, ”Central Asian leaders are exaggerating the danger posed by Islamic radicals, two experts asserted.”

Numerous Soros-funded groups chimed in on these issues too, such as The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It received $1,880,398 from Open Society Foundations since 2000, promoted recognition of the radical Muslim Brotherhood. The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation in 2004 received a $75,000 grant ”To challenge selective application of immigration law with regard to Muslims.”

Fitzgerald stepping down as US attorney in Chicago…

By DON BABWIN and TAMMY WEBBER
Associated Press

CHICAGO

In a city and state known for tenacious corruption, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald became known as a man who was just as tenacious in going after politicians of every stripe.

During more than a decade in Chicago, Fitzgerald put behind bars a former Republican governor and then his Democratic successor. He traveled to Washington to win convictions of a top aide to the vice president of the United States, then returned to target an international media mogul and aides to one of the nation’s most powerful mayors.

On Wednesday, two months after former Gov. Rod Blagojevich walked into prison following Fitzgerald’s insistence he be tried a second time for trying to sell a Senate appointment, Fitzgerald announced he is stepping down after 24 years as a prosecutor.

Fitzgerald gave no reason for his decision to leave the providentially appointed post he’s held since Sept. 1, 2001. During that time he’s overseen prosecutions of Blagojevich and former Gov. George Ryan, former Vice President Dick Cheney’s top aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and media mogul Conrad Black. He took on public corruption, international terrorism, corporate fraud and organized crime.

“Eleven years is a very long time in a very high-pressure job,” said Peter Fitzgerald, a former U.S. senator, no relation, who recruited Patrick Fitzgerald to the post and spoke to him Wednesday morning about his decision. “I think it’s really hard … to divide responsibilities between family and job. I think he just felt it was time and also thought the office would benefit from new blood.”

Fitzgerald, who is married to a schoolteacher and has two young children, will hold a Thursday news conference in Chicago but said in his statement that he wants take the summer off before considering other job possibilities.

“When I was selected for this position in 2001, I said that it was one of the greatest privileges that I could ever hope for,” he said in the statement. “I believe that even more now after having the privilege of working alongside hundreds of dedicated prosecutors and agents.”

Fitzgerald has been mentioned as a possible successor to FBI Director Robert Mueller. When asked about elected public office, he has said he would never consider it.

In fact, after being appointed by a Republican President George W. Bush and keeping his job under Democratic President Barack Obama, the intensely private prosecutor has never publicly made his politics known.

“He was one of the most non-political U.S. attorney’s we’ve ever had … and in a town like this where everything is political, it is incredible to have a U.S. attorney like that,” said former state appellate Judge David Erickson.

Job prospects or no, the timing of Fitzgerald’s announcement makes sense, coming just after his office saw through Blagojevich’s imprisonment and the last of the big cases stemming from the three-year-old investigation of the former governor.

It was that case that tested Fitzgerald like no other in Chicago.

From the day of Blagojevich’s 2008 arrest, when Fitzgerald famously characterized the former governor’s actions as a “political corruption crime spree” that would “make Lincoln roll over in his grave,” he has been scrutinized for the case.

“I worked under three U.S. attorneys and none of them ever would have uttered such comments, and if any assistant did, he or she would have been fired immediately,” said Phil Turner, who worked in the northern Illinois office before Fitzgerald’s tenure began.

Criticism mounted when the jury in Blagojevich’s first trial deadlocked on the vast majority of charges, including the most damaging allegation that he tried to sell Obama’s vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder.

The Washington Post published a scathing editorial saying Fitzgerald had his shot at the former governor, lost and “should stand down before crossing another fine line _ the one that separates prosecution from persecution.” The Wall Street Journal wrote, “If Mr. Fitzgerald doesn’t resign of his own accord, the Justice Department should remove him.”

Undaunted, Fitzgerald pressed on, tried Blagojevich again and ultimately secured a conviction that resulted in a 14-year prison term for the ex-governor.

While critics insist Fitzgerald crosses lines, attorneys in his office are intensely loyal.

“He’s just a guy who does the right thing,” said Joel Levin, who left the office after he helped prosecute Ryan. “He is a person of incredible integrity.”

Fitzgerald also may be the country’s best-known and, to those he targeted, most-feared federal prosecutor. In addition to the ex-governors, his office won convictions against aging mobsters, city workers, trucking executives and top figures in former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s administration.

Nationally, he was tapped to be the special prosecutor who investigated the disclosure of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame and eventually won the conviction against Libby, though Bush later commuted his sentence.

In that case, Fitzgerald tried to force former New York Times reporter Judith Miller to testify before a grand jury, with Miller sitting in jail for three months for refusing to do so. She ultimately relented, saying Libby had given her permission to publish Plame’s name.

It was his reputation for that kind of determination that got him the job in the first place.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., the son of a Manhattan doorman, Fitzgerald spent years advancing his career one criminal case at a time. From the East Coast to Chicago, he earned a reputation as a tough anti-corruption prosecutor who worked, as one observer put it, “28 hours a day.”

As an assistant U.S. attorney in New York he successfully prosecuted major terrorism cases, including against those responsible for the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in East Africa and Omar Abdel-Rahman, the so-called “blind sheik,” convicted of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and conspiring to blow up bridges and buildings around New York city.

In 1993, he helped jail a Gambino crime family capo and three other mobsters for murder, racketeering, narcotics trafficking and other crimes. And he supervised the 1996 trial of three men who plotted to blow up 12 airliners.

“From his early consequential years in New York City confronting the terrorist threat to his strong leadership of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois, Pat has rightly earned a reputation over these last 24 years as a prosecutor’s prosecutor,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a Wednesday statement.

Fitzgerald was among 10 or more people with strong credentials in law enforcement whose names were mentioned a year ago as possible nominees to succeed Mueller as his 10-year term leading the FBI neared an end. President Barack Obama decided to stick with Mueller, keeping him in place for another two years until September 2013.

During an appearance last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mueller said he has had discussions with Obama about potential successors, but “not very recently.”

“We are preparing for 2013 when we would expect a new individual to take the helm,” Mueller said.

If Fitzgerald were to accept a nomination, he could potentially run into opposition on Capitol Hill from Republicans, some of whom view his prosecution of Libby case as an illustration of prosecutorial overreach.

“He’s done and incredible job and … most of us in this profession think the world’s wide open for him,” said Anton Valukas, who headed the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago from 1985-1990. “All the big firms in the country will want him to come to the private side and I would be surprised if he is not considered for a high political post.”

“Civil Asset Forfeiture” coming soon to a neighborhood near you…

When the looter is the government:

By George Will

May 18, 2012

TEWKSBURY, Mass.

Russ Caswell, 68, is bewildered: “What country are we in?” He and his wife, Pat, are ensnared in a Kafkaesque nightmare unfolding in Orwellian language.

This town’s police department is conniving with the federal government to circumvent Massachusetts law — which is less permissive than federal law — to seize his livelihood and retirement asset. In the lawsuit titled United States of America v. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, the government is suing an inanimate object, the motel Caswell’s father built in 1955. The U.S. Department of Justice intends to seize it, sell it for perhaps $1.5 million and give up to 80 percent of that to the Tewksbury Police Department, whose budget is just $5.5 million. The Caswells have not been charged with, let alone convicted of, a crime. They are being persecuted by two governments eager to profit from what is antiseptically called the “equitable sharing” of the fruits of civil forfeiture, a process of government enrichment that often is indistinguishable from robbery.

The Merrimack River Valley near the New Hampshire border has had more downs than ups since the 19th century, when the nearby towns of Lowell and Lawrence were centers of America’s textile industry. In the 1960s the area briefly enjoyed a high-tech boom. Caswell’s “budget” motel, too, has seen better days, as when the touring Annette Funicello and the Mouseketeers checked in. In its sixth decade the motel hosts tourists, some workers on extended stays and some elderly people who call it home. The 56 rooms rent for $56 a night or $285 a week.

Since 1994, about 30 motel customers have been arrested on drug-dealing charges. Even if those police figures are accurate — the police have a substantial monetary incentive to exaggerate — these 30 episodes involved less than 5/100ths of 1 percent of the 125,000 rooms Caswell has rented over those more than 6,700 days. Yet this is the government’s excuse for impoverishing the Caswells by seizing this property, which is their only significant source of income and all of their retirement security.

The government says the rooms were used to “facilitate” a crime. It does not say the Caswells knew or even that they were supposed to know what was going on in all their rooms all the time. Civil forfeiture law treats citizens worse than criminals, requiring them to prove their innocence — to prove they did everything possible to prevent those rare crimes from occurring in a few of those rooms. What counts as possible remains vague. The Caswells voluntarily installed security cameras, they photocopy customers’ identifications and record their license plates, and they turn the information over to the police, who have never asked the Caswells to do more.

The Caswells are represented by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian public-interest law firm. IJ explains that civil forfeiture is a proceeding in which property is said to have acted wrongly. This was useful long ago against pirates, who might be out of reach but whose ill-gotten gains could be seized. The Caswells, however, are not pirates.

Rather, they are victims of two piratical governments that, IJ argues, are violating the U.S. Constitution twice. They are violating the Eighth Amendment, which has been construed to forbid “excessive fines” that deprive individuals of their livelihoods. And the federal “equitable sharing” program violates the 10th Amendment by vitiating state law, thereby enabling Congress to compel the states to adopt Congress’s policies where states possess a reserved power and primary authority — in the definition and enforcement of the criminal law.

A federal drug agent operating in this region roots around in public records in search of targets — property with at least $50,000 equity. Caswell thinks that if his motel “had a big mortgage, this would not be happening.”

“Equitable sharing” — the consensual splitting of ill-gotten loot by the looters — reeks of the moral hazard that exists in situations in which incentives are for perverse behavior. To see where this leads, read IJ’s scalding report “Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture” (http://ow.ly/aYME1), a sickening litany of law enforcement agencies padding their budgets and financing boondoggles by, for example, smelling, or imagining to smell, or pretending to smell, marijuana in cars they covet.

None of this is surprising to Madisonians, which all sensible Americans are. James Madison warned (in Federalist 48) that government power “is of an encroaching nature.” If unresisted, it produces iniquitous sharing of other people’s property.

WHO IS BARACK OBAMA? (IMAGE)

The “Anybody But Obama” movement is growing – as evidenced by this scathing (and quite accurate) image portraying the ongoing cover-up of Barack Obama’s still largely unknown past:

PLEASE: Read This File- A Primer Put Together By A Dedicated Freedom Fighter for the neophytes who still may be in denial.

THE OBAMA FILE

THANKS TO ULSTERMAN FOR HIS UNENDING DUE DILIGENCE!    {{HUGS}}

Republican Leadership pretends to get tough with AG Eric Holder…

Republican leaders John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy joined with Darell Issa in a letter to Obama Attorney General Eric Holder that demands Holder cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation into the failed and deadly gunrunning operation.  And according to that letter just released to the media, Boehner and his fellow Republicans are focused in not only on what Eric Holder knew and when – but perhaps Barack Obama himself.

EXCERPT:

…“We write to express our concerns with the lack of full cooperation from the Department of Justice with the ongoing Congressional investigation into the operation known as ‘Fast & Furious’ and the related death of Border Agent Brian Terry,” the House leaders wrote to Holder.

…The House GOP leaders said there are “two key questions” that “remain unanswered.”

“[F]irst, who on your leadership team was informed of the reckless tactics used in the Fast & Furious prior to Agent Terry’s murder; and, second, did your leadership team mislead or misinform Congress in response to a Congressional subpoena?” the letter reads.

…Issa says he is planning to move forward with contempt of Congress proceedings against Holder if he does not comply with the subpoena. Earlier this week, Deputy Attorney General James Cole claimed that his boss has complied with the subpoena and alleged that the potential contempt proceedings would be “unwarranted.”

In their Friday letter to Holder, though, Boehner and his deputies said they were “troubled” with the Department of Justice’s “assertions that the Executive Branch possesses the ability to determine whether inquiries from the Legislative Branch have been fully complied with.”

“As the Supreme Court has noted, each co-equal branch of our Government is supreme in their assigned area of Constitutional duties,” the GOP leaders wrote. “Thus, the question of whether the Executive Branch has sufficiently complied with a Congressional subpoena requesting specific information pursuant to Congress’ Article I responsibilities is one only the Legislative Branch can answer.”

TWO Very important assessments- (explaining why we shouldn’t get too excited!)

FROM: truthandjustice
May 18, 2012
Heard some knowledgeable people who know about how corrupt “politics” is run in D.C. – like Brit Hume – that they predict this will go nowhere. These contempt deals have been done before & they never go anywhere. It’s just “dog and pony” show as they say. Likely that these GOP leaders (at least Boehner and Issa, probably Cantor) can’t do anything even if they wanted b/c of favors that were done for them in the past (involving Holder), and they are calling them in now.

That’s why Obama regime is not too worried about being prosecuted or run out of office for anything. If it’s not held in secret, it’s rigged where they can’t if they find evidence for prosecution. Also can’t impeach without Senate being involved and they won’t b/c they’re dominated by fellow radical Dems.and would take several months, which ends up around election time. So I guess the Repubs. are just “wishin and hopin” the elections will solve things.

And the ones that might be patriotic and might try to do the right thing are probably threatened. My guess about Blago, who probably knew some damaging info re Obama, was threatened & that’s why we didn’t get any info from him and had to go to prison….to protect his family.
I don’t think most of us know how far and deep this runs – about their protection & help from the int’l radicals.

Of course I’ll be hoping I’m wrong….we’ll see……..

I appreciate fully what you are asking , and know you will understand when I say what you ask is very difficult to do.

That said, let me start with this. The first step in trying to understand how all the pieces fit together is to understand how we got her. I recommend people take a serious look at how Patrick Fitzgerald became U.S Attorney in Illinois.

Where did he come from and what he really has been up to. Did Patrick Fitzgerald go to Illinois to clean up the corruption or did he go to Illinois to clear the way. Clear the mine fields so to speak. Forget the hype and take a close look at what Fitz has done. Then take another look at everything you know , and see what the view is like. I hope this helps , and I look forward to expanding on this discussion.

AND… from: Whistleblower
May 19, 2012

Fitzgerald has been protecting the corrupt in Chicago from the first day he arrived from NY, where he had recently brought charges against a virtually unknown Bin Laden, before 911. Patrick Fitzgerald came to Chicago the first week of September 2001.

The press made him out to be Elliot Ness and then they helped him protect Obama and friends. We could go into particulars, however if you would indulge me and except this premise, and look at recent history through this prism, perhaps somethings will make a little more sense. If it helps, try to recall just who has gone to jail in Illinois. Less than the # of dead. Why does Holder think Fitz is pretty, and why was/is Fitz on short list to replace Mueller as FBI director ? Why did the press not ask the U.S. Attorney who brought charges against Bin Laden his thoughts on his demise ? Things are seldom what they appeared to be in Chicago.

Utah School Fined $15,000 for Accidentally Selling Soda During Lunch

A Utah high school is learning the hard way that the government is serious about nudging students away from food it doesn’t want them to consume. Davis High School in the Salt Lake City area is having to fork over a whopping $15,000 in fines to the Feds because it accidentally sold soda through a vending machine during lunch.

Federal law requires the school to turn off its soda machines during the lunch period, which is 47 minutes a day. And Davis High school did turn off the machines in the lunch room. However, the school didn‘t realize that there was another machine in the school bookstore that wasn’t being turned off. And when the food police realized it, the school was hit with a $0.75 fine per student for the duration of the offense.

Now the school is going to have to cut money to fine arts programs to make up the cost.

KTVX-TV has the report

See Video

But here’s where things really get nutty, so to speak. Davis High School Principal Dee Burton said that the law is disingenuous. For example, while students can’t buy soda, they can buy sugar-loaded sports drinks and even Snickers bars because they contain, you guessed it, nuts. In addition, students can buy soda earlier in the day before the machines get turned off and drink it during lunch.

And simple economics is at play, too. The ban isn’t forcing students to stop drinking or eating the sugar-laced food and drink. It’s just driving them to places where they can get it.

“The misconception is if we don’t let kids buy candy and pop, we drive them to the cafeteria, it doesn’t drive them to the cafeteria it drives them off campus,” Burton told KUTV.

One commenter on the KUTV website picked up on that.

“The principal is right, the kids will leave campus. What are you going to do? Close Walmart and Quick Trip for 47 minutes every day?” the commenter wrote.

Don’t give them any ideas.

SOROS Ties To The Muslim Brotherhood….

You’ve heard the warnings about the Muslim Brotherhood before. Those radicals who have designs on all Muslim countries and seek to destroy the West and Israel have met with members of the Obama administration and have been infiltrating U.S. government and society for years.

Now, in a Blaze Magazine exclusive, we reveal that left-wing sugar daddy George Soros has some unnerving ties to the radical Islamist movement that is seeking to take over Egypt and the rest of the Middle East, implement Shariah law and establish a global caliphate.

For those familiar with George Soros and his myriad organizations–from the Open Society Institute to the International Crisis Group–the billionaire financier’s long and distinct history of promoting far-Left causes both at home and abroad is well known.

But the mention of Soros actually joining forces with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood takes radical political activism to an entirely new level, conjuring up images of an unholy alliance forged in the fiery pits of Mordor.

But Soros does have ties to and had joined forces with the Brotherhood.

And we have the evidence.

For example:

*A 2008 report from Soros’ International Crisis Group (ICG) titled “Egypt’s Muslim Brothers: Confrontation or Integration?” strongly urged the normalization and “regularization” of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “participation” in Egyptian political life, including by “ceasing” arrests of Muslim Brothers and “setting guidelines for the establishment of a political party with religious reference.” According to the ICG, these measures, if executed, would prove Egypt’s “wider commitment to political pluralism.” The ICG’s “integration” report also trivialized the crackdown on the Brotherhood as “dangerously short-sighted.”

*The spokesmen for Soros’ ICG are none other than former Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher (who also oversees research at the Soros-funded Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) and onetime U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head and current Brotherhood-endorsed interim Egyptian steward Mohamed ElBaradei. Soros, Muasher and ElBaradei all have a nasty habit of minimizing the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood.

*Soros’ buddy Muasher, doing his best impression of a Chicago politician, referred to the Middle East uprisings and breakdown in Israeli-Palestinian talks as a “crisis” that “would be a terrible thing to waste.”

And that’s only the tip of the radical-family iceberg.

Of course, this fits right in with Soros’ anti-Israel agenda.

In a February 2011 op-ed Soros wrote for the Washington Post, the Left’s favorite moneyman unilaterally decided America’s power and influence in the world had all but vanished and trivialized U.S. and Israeli fears over the civil unrest in Egypt. Soros dismissed the idea that dissidents who sought to topple the Mubarak regime would be the least bit hostile to Israel.

Soros even went so far as to say the opposition was “not advancing a theocratic agenda at all” and then praised the only organized political force in the region–the Muslim Brotherhood.

Consistently referring to Israel as the “stumbling block” to peace in the Middle East, Soros made no bones about his hopes for the Brotherhood. He even heartily encouraged giving the Muslim Brotherhood a place at Egypt’s social and political table when the country’s streets erupted in flames in early 2011.

Soros urged President Obama to stand with the revolution in Egypt–and lamenting Israel’s being in the way.

Evidence: Trayvon Had Bruised Knuckles, Zimmerman Broken Nose

The medical report from George Zimmerman’s family doctor after the Trayvon Martin shooting shows that Zimmerman’s nose was broken; he also had a pair of black eyes, two lacerations on the back of his head, a bruised upper lip, and a back injury. He was examined by the doctor the day after the shooting. The three-page medical report will likely be used as evidence for the defense.

Meanwhile, the Trayvon Martin autopsy shows that other than his gunshot wound, the only injury on Martin was that the skin on his knuckles was broken. Combined with the evidence from Zimmerman’s medical report, the logical conclusion is that Martin was beating up Zimmerman severely before Zimmerman shot him.

Zimmerman was eager to get back to work, and visited the doctor, according to ABC News, to “get legal clearance to return to work.” Zimmerman was not hospitalized the night of the shooting. As ABC News reports, “In addition to his physical injuries, Zimmerman complained of stress and ‘occasional nausea when thinking about the violence.’” The doctor made notes suggesting that it was “imperative” that Zimmerman visit a “psychologist for evaluation.”

ABC News, of course, is the same outlet that originally released poorly pixelated photos of Zimmerman the night of the incident from the police station with the headline, “Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman.” MSNBC followed suit with an article headlined, “Police video of Zimmerman shows no sign of scuffle.”

While it is now clear that the media got it entirely wrong as far as what happened that night – they tried to paint it as a clear-cut situation of “white Hispanic” Zimmerman stalking and shooting young black man Trayvon Martin – ABC News is still attempting to lay the predicate for the idea that Zimmerman was an unstable character responsible for the violence. Today’s ABC News report on the medical records states, “According to the report, prior to the shooting Zimmerman had been prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, medications that can cause side effects such as agitation and mood swings, but in fewer than 10 percent of patients.” Thus far, however, ABC News has nothing to say about the broken skin on Martin’s knuckles.

Confirmed – Republican Leadership Fears Going After Eric Holder Over Fast and Furious

While Congressman Darell Issa continues to push for a contempt charge against Obama Attorney General Eric Holder over the failed and deadly Fast and Furious gunrunning operation, information is now leaking regarding how fearful the Republican leadership is in going after Holder.

Excerpt from Newsmax:

Issa Still Wants Contempt Citation for Holder

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is renewing his effort to drum up bipartisan support for a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Eric Holder, despite little enthusiasm from GOP leaders.

…a GOP aide suggested to Roll Call there is also concern that going after Holder, the first black attorney general under the first black president, could create a racial backlash against Republicans.

“Especially after Trayvon,” this aide told Roll Call, in a reference to the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

My thinking is, the Republicans  are as DIRTY as the Democrats… and They do not want to risk the exposure of Obama because he will BLOW the WHISTLE and expose their part in the Corruption helping Obama STEAL the Primary from Hillary Clinton…  thusly, going UN-vetted by the DNC  or the RNC electing an ineligible candidate to the highest office in the land. The US Presidency! There isn’t an HONEST man in Congress or in the WH.

SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!!!

Sheriff Joe to Holder: ‘Clean your own house first!’

A defiant Sheriff Joe Arpaio is preparing to tell President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder later today there is “no way” he will turn over the management of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to the Justice Department despite the threat of a federal lawsuit.

“Clean your own house, Eric Holder, before you come trying to clean mine,” Arpaio said today in a telephone interview with WND.

As WND reported, the Justice Department informed Arpaio yesterday it plans to take him to federal court on allegations of systematic violations of the civil rights of Hispanics. Holder has sought an agreement to establish a court monitor in Arpaio’s office to clear his decisions.

Arpaio has scheduled a press conference for 3 p.m. local time today at his office in downtown Phoenix.

Join the billboard campaign that seeks the answer to “Where’s the Real Birth Certificate?”

‘I won’t surrender’

The sheriff charged that the Obama administration is attacking him in an effort to gain Hispanic votes in November for the Democratic Party.

“This is a coordinated effort directed from the White House to deflect attention from Eric Holder’s failure to cooperate in the congressional investigation into Fast and Furious,” he said.

Arpaio accused Obama of wanting to make him the “poster boy” in the administration’s public relations effort to deflect attention from Holder.

Phoenix today will be the site of dueling press conferences, with the Justice Department scheduling a late afternoon event. In addition, Randy Parraz, the radical agitator with a union-trained background as a Saul Alinsky “organizer,” also plans to hold a press conference today. Parraz moved to Phoenix to launch an effort demanding the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors order Arpaio to resign.

However, Arpaio, who is near the end of an unprecedented fourth term as Maricopa County sheriff, is an elected official who cannot be dismissed by the county overseers.

Arpaio cautioned that Holder should think twice about joining forces with activist operatives like Parraz.

“I won’t surrender,” Arpaio insisted, referring to the Justice Department’s demand to put federal monitors within the MCSO. “I intend to fight back.”

In November, Arpaio faces re-election for a fifth term.

‘Prove it!’

Repeatedly, Arpaio has charged the Justice Department has nothing against him but anecdotal evidence of isolated instances in which Hispanics have complained of MCSO activity.

As WND has reported, the Justice Department has refused to produce evidence substantiating the allegations against Arpaio, insisting that the allegations themselves are sufficient to demand a remedy.

“It’s ironic, don’t you think,” Arpaio said, “that Eric Holder refuses to comply with congressional subpoenas to deliver to Congress the information about his management of the Justice Department, but the Justice Department has no hesitation to make public their complaints about me despite the fact those allegation have never been proved to be true?”

Obama eligibility investigation to continue

Arpaio also told WND he will not abandon his volunteer team’s investigation into Obama’s eligibility for the Arizona presidential ballot.

“The Obama investigation remains ongoing,” he confirmed. “I have no intention of abandoning the Obama investigation until the Cold Case Posse has done its job.”

Arpaio’s office has announced the sheriff is preparing for a second press conference to update findings of the Cold Case Posse.

At a press conference in Phoenix March 1, Arpaio announced his team had found probable cause that Obama’s long form birth certificate and his Selective Service draft registration form were forgeries.

Arpaio contended it was no coincidence Holder decided to sue his office immediately after the government’s lawyers were grilled by the Supreme Court in oral arguments over the constitutionality of Arizona’s tough immigration law, SB 1070.

“I’ve had a 50-year career in law enforcement, including many years with the Justice Department in senior positions. Now, Eric Holder’s Justice Department is turning on me just because I’m doing my job enforcing immigration laws.”

Obama meets with left-wing critics of Israel to plot next moves

President Obama sat down yesterday with a cadre of far-left foreign policy writers, several of whom regularly lambast the state of Israel, to get advice on a range of critical foreign policy issues, among them Afghanistan, Israel, and NATO, according to press accounts.

The group of nine included several writers who promulgate fringe views about the state of Israel, advocate in favor of divestment from Israel, and describe the Jewish State as an “apartheid” state—views that are also endorsed by the most extreme anti-Israel advocates.

Liberal author Peter Beinart—who has compared Israel to the segregated South and advocates boycotting areas of the country that he deems “non-democratic”—is reported to have joined forces with several other Israel bashers, such as the New Yorker‘s David Remnick and Time magazine’s Joe Klein, for a powwow with the president. Left-wing activist Jane Mayer of the New Yorker also attended the meeting.

“The group is also notable for the inclusion of writers with radically different views on the Israel debate,” observed Politico’s Dylan Byers.

Remnick has described Israel as undemocratic and akin to Syria and Egypt, while Klein is known for penning a series of misleading articles chastising the Jewish state. He also has expressed sympathy for Iran, a country run by Holocaust-denying anti-Semites who are intent on developing a nuclear weapon.

Bienart, however, might be the most surprising name on the list given his outspoken and vociferous criticism of Israeli policies. Those viewpoints place him far outside the mainstream of Jewish public opinion.

The former TNR editor recently advocated divestment from Israel at a J Street event, a technique employed by activists who aim to destroy Israel’s economy and thereby the tiny state.

The meeting also raises questions about how Obama might approach the issue of Israel in a more flexible second term.

“If President Obama believes Peter Beinart’s opinions are credible or anywhere near mainstream thought, then that is a five alarm fire for Israel supporters all across the world,” said one senior GOP adviser. “It’s completely irresponsible to have the president meet with a radioactive writer and anti-Israel activist who has been shunned, alienated, and isolated by even the most left wing factions of the organized pro-Israel community.”

Democrat Breaks Ranks – Supports Investigation Against Eric Holder

As promised by a longtime political operative months ago – Democratic Party support for the Republican led efforts to investigate Eric Holder and the Obama Department of Justice would eventually happen.  It appears that promise is now (finally) coming to pass…

Indiana Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly told The Daily Caller on Tuesday that he supports the House oversight committee’s efforts to enforce the congressional subpoena of Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious.

“One of the duties of Congress is to provide oversight of the Executive Branch,” Donnelly told TheDC. “There has been a serious allegation of federal law enforcement misconduct and we need to get to the bottom of this issue without playing partisan politics.”

Holder has demonstrably failed to comply with the congressional subpoena House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa served him on Oct. 12, 2011. Holder has failed to comply with all 22 categories of the subpoena that demands he provide documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. With 13 of the categories, Holder has provided no documents whatsoever. When it comes to the other nine subpoena categories, Holder is still far from compliant, as TheDC reported late last week.

Texas Inmate, Gets 40 Percent Of Votes Against Obama In West Virginia Democratic Primary

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary.

The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. With 83 percent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving 60 percent of the vote to Judd’s 40 percent.

For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes.

“I voted against Obama,” said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. “I don’t like him. He didn’t carry the state before and I’m not going to let him carry it again.”

When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, “That guy out of Texas.”

Judd was able to get on the state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form known as a notarized certification of announcement, said Jake Glance, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office.

Attracting at least 15 percent of the vote would normally qualify a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. But state Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Scarbro said no one has filed to be a delegate for Judd. The state party also believes that Judd has failed to file paperwork required of presidential candidates, but officials continue to research the matter, Scarbro said.

Voters in other conservative states showed their displeasure with Obama in Democratic primaries last March.

In Oklahoma, anti-abortion protestor Randall Terry got 18 percent of the primary vote. A lawyer from Tennessee, John Wolfe, pulled nearly 18,000 votes in the Louisiana primary. In Alabama, 18 percent of Democratic voters chose “uncommitted” in the primary rather than vote for Obama.

Obama’s energy policies and the Environmental Protection Agency’s handling of mining-related permits have incurred the wrath of West Virginia’s coal industry. With the state the nation’s second-biggest producer of this fossil fuel, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Sen. Joe Manchin _both Democrats have championed the industry – have declined to say whether they will support Obama in November.

Hillary Rodham Clinton beat Obama handily in the state’s 2008 primary, and he lost the state to Republican John McCain in the general election. Polls show some of his worst approval ratings in West Virginia.

She was certain about one thing: “I just want to vote against Barack Obama” which works out fine in the Primary; it sends a message to the incumbent. However in the General election you vote against Obama with the contender who stands the best chance of beating him.. duh!

*** The margins told the story: The overall results went largely as expected last night in Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, the surprises were in the margins. State Treasurer Richard Mourdock was expected to beat incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar, but not by 20 points;

Amendment One – banning gay marriage and civil unions in North Carolina — was expected to pass, but not by 20 points;

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was expected to beat Kathleen Falk, but not by almost 20 points;

President Obama was expected to win the West Virginia primary, but not to be WITHIN 20 points TO A CONVICTED FELON SITTING IN FEDERAL PRISON IN ANOTHER STATE.

By the way, wonder why Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he’s not sure who he’ll vote for this fall in the presidential election?

Netenyahu Consolidates Power – Military Strikes Against Iran To Follow?

“That pathetic, preening political abortion that now holds the title of President of the United States!  What he asks of Israel…for HIS re-election? ”  -Wall Street Insider

When President Barack Obama met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu two months ago, both sides put on an outward show of unity, but behind the scenes reports indicated the meeting ended with a petulant Obama unhappy with Netanyahu’s unwillingness to compromise the safety of Israel by agreeing to delay any attempts against Iran until after the American presidential election.  Whatever form and substance that came with Barack Obama’s demands of Israel were apparently insulting enough to Israelis to motivate normally opposing political parties to now unite behind the Netanyahu government.
In that context, here is an earlier interview from March of this year with Wall Street Insider that focused in part on that most recent meeting between Obama and Netanyahu – a meeting that clearly had a quite strong impact on the always respectful WSI’s personal views regarding Barack Obama.  It should also be noted that this interview took place BEFORE subsequent media reports came out regarding any specific details of this same meeting:<
……………………………………………………………
Can I ask you about the meeting between Obama – President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu?
You don’t need to do that anymore.UM: What?
Place the title of president in front of his name – when you speak of him. That is no longer required of you when we speak.UM: Really? You said that was…you were concerned about remaining respectful of the office. That—WSI: (interrupts) That concern has greatly diminished. The man does not warrant such respect by you…or anyone else. He is…he…he is no longer my president.UM: What is he then?

WSI: I believe -name deleted- called him a mistake, yes? That is certainly true. A terrible-terrible mistake. There is more to it than that though…

UM: Yes?

WSI: A mistake can be harmless, or unintended. Barack Obama is neither harmless nor unintended. What he is…or most certainly those around him…those who have formed and are now implementing the agenda…it is no unintended error. It is no mistake – but rather far more…far more worse than that.

UM: Elaborate.

WSI: Evil. Corruptive all-encompassing evil.

UM: Barack Obama is evil?

WSI: Certainly the seeming…I don’t wish to have this conversation devolve into the subject matter of…to take a more spiritual course. That may not appeal to a great many of your readers.

UM: Don’t worry about that – you think Barack Obama is evil? Please explain.

WSI: My belief is that what is being attempted…the…reforming if you will of the United States…yes – that is evil. The danger it poses to the country, to the world – yes…evil. Be it ignorance on the part of Barack Obama, or willful neglect…I cannot determine for certain…but he does appear willing to cooperate with those who have long sought to destroy this country…not so much a physical destruction mind you…but rather the…spiritual destruction of America. A kind of…cancer that will eat away at its internals leaving nothing but…an empty shell of what it once was.

(Long pause)

I fear I may be babbling here. I apologize.

UM: NO – don’t apologize. You have just said what my gut has been telling me for a long time. Back in 2008 something felt wrong about Barack Obama. What you just said – it is a different version of that same feeling. I know exactly what you’re saying. Don’t apologize for that. There’s a whole lot of us feeling the same way.

But I have to ask – what happened? Why the change in tone? You gave me a bit of hell if I forgot to include the title of president in front of Obama’s name – and now…you are saying he doesn’t deserve that title? What happened? That’s a pretty significant shift – so what happened?

WSI: You know of course of the meeting between the prime minister and the president?

UM: Yes – of course.

WSI: That is what happened.

UM: You…can you elaborate please?

WSI: No – not at this time. I apologize.

UM: You gotta give me something here. And I think you want to say it – say something. I assume you received feedback of the meeting?

WSI: That is correct.

UM: And?

WSI: I cannot share any of that with you at this time. Again – I apologize.

UM: So the meeting did not go well?

WSI: Obama revealed himself to us…in full. While it was suspected…certainly we feared the possibility…but to have it so openly confirmed was…it was very unsettling to people who, shall we say…don’t unsettle easily.

UM: Please explain. Something. Explain something on that.

WSI: I will simply say this – and someday this information will get out…I likely will be long dead when it does…but the truth will be spoken of this someday.

In 2008 the American people voted for a man who has absolutely no regard for human life if that life is an impediment to the agenda. The meeting between himself and the prime minister confirmed that fact. The Israelis are now staring into the face of evil – a selfishness and disregard that is stunning in its scope and singular purpose. A delay was requested that has no basis in saving lives – but rather one that puts so many lives at risk! A delay that is pure political calculation – a calculation whose sole purpose is for but one political candidate – while all others are to be sacrificed if need be! This goes beyond the disrespect and immaturity put on display when they met last…that…you told of that. I fed that information to -name deleted- and you then told of that.

But THIS…what…what Barack Obama asks of Israel now…what is threatened if Israel does not comply…for nothing more than politics? It is…it is Chamberlain all over again. And just as Chamberlain strutted and preened to the world…this Obama does much the same. To not act against evil makes one complicit with that evil…that…he ignores history…or worse yet – he hopes to repeat it!

UM: Who?

WSI: Obama! The son-of-a-bitch Obama! That pathetic, preening political abortion that now holds the title of President of the United States! What he asks of Israel…for HIS re-election? What kind of human being thinks on such…the dangers…if he thinks the danger is only to Israel…he is putting ALL of us at risk! The entire world! And he doesn’t care. Nothing! Nothing matters but his…the campaign. The money. The legacy. Let me tell you this young man…let me say this of our current “president”. If every man, woman, and child now living in Israel were to be wiped off the face of the earth in order to secure Barack Obama’s re-election…THAT possibility is something the president would qualify as one worth considering! And if he thinks we are to simply allow that…NO. Not this time. NEVER AGAIN. We will fight this kind of evil this time. Victory may elude us…but this time our souls shall remain intact. There are those of us…we who are not simply Jews in name only in America…but the offspring of survival…the living and breathing embodiment of having survived the kind of evil that walked this earth not so long ago…we will not simply stand down and hope the future serves to protect us. NO. This old Jew has some fight in him yet! This old Jew is at war against this evil! Yes, I am tired…bent, fearful, sick, – but I will not simply allow the world of my children and grandchildren and their children and grandchildren to once again be given over to the corruption of appeasement! NO. NOT THIS TIME. The bones of so many in my family were ground under the heals of a modern political evil. Their lives are not forgotten. That lesson was learned. The blessings…such blessing that this country has afforded me – simply because my parents were just quick enough – just a little quicker than others to flee while others remained because they could not fathom that such evil actually existed. Such evil DID exist young man. And that kind of evil now exists AGAIN. It was elected President of the United States in 2008 and hopes to be re-elected again in 2012!

You wish to know something of that meeting between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanhayu? The prime minister stared into the eyes of our president…and he saw the truth of the man. He understood fully and completely the corruption of his heart.

WALL STREET INSIDER: My God…My God…What Has Become Of America?

Could Obama Steal The Elections Through Scytl?

According to Market Watch

SCYTL, the global leader in secure electronic voting technologies, announced today the acquisition of 100% of SOE Software, the leading software provider of election management solutions in the United States. The integration of these two software companies creates the industry leader in the election software market with a full range of solutions covering from Internet voting to election night reporting and online pollworker training, and a strong market presence worldwide.

SCYTL is currently the worldwide leader in the Internet voting space and the acquisition of SOE Software, with its Clarity election management software suite, significantly expands SCYTL’s product portfolio beyond electronic voting. Furthermore, SOE Software’s strong US presence with 900 jurisdictions as customers in 26 states, including 14 state-wide customers, complements very effectively SCYTL’s customer base in the United States and internationally with customers in over 20 different countries across 5 continents, including France, Spain, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, India and Australia.

Based in Barcelona and with offices in Baltimore, Toronto, New Delhi, Athens, Kiev and Singapore, SCYTL’s solutions have been used in public elections by governments from countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India and Australia. SCYTL is a portfolio company of leading international VC funds Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.

I have done some research this morning regarding the company.  So far, I have read that the company’s CEO is Pere Valles.  Scytl’s website said the following regarding Mr. Valles (emphasis added is mine):

[US Attorney General Eric Holder’s Ballot to Vote Offered to Total Stranger]

Mr. Valles joined Scytl in March 2004 after spending most of his professional career in the United States. Prior to joining Scytl, Mr. Valles was Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of GlobalNet, a NASDAQ publicly-traded telecommunications company headquartered in Chicago. Mr. Valles assisted GlobalNet in becoming one of the leading providers of Voice-over-IP in the world and was instrumental in the successful sale of the company to the Titan Corporation, a NYSE defense company. At GlobalNet, Mr. Valles was responsible for designing and executing the strategic plan that led to an increase in revenues from US$ 25 million to over US$ 100 million and brought the company to profitability. Previously, Mr. Valles had worked as Senior Manager for KPMG‘s Mergers & Acquisitions group in Los Angeles and Miami providing financial and strategic consulting services to private equity groups and corporations involved in acquisitions in the United States, Latin America and Europe. During his career at KPMG, Mr. Valles actively participated in more than 20 transactions in the telecommunications and technology areas. Mr. Valles has a bachelor degree in Economics and a bachelor degree in Law from the University of Barcelona and a MBA (summa cum laude) from Indiana University.

As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news about all of this is it centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing.

As local election results funnel through SOE’s servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get “first look” at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.

Obama Campaign Kickoff: “They Had The Feeling of a Concert By An Aging Rock Star”…

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Obama sought to rekindle the passion of his 2008 victory on Saturday with a pair of huge rallies in battleground states that signaled a new, more politically aggressive phase of the campaign and a sharpened critique of Mitt Romney

Mr. Obama, speaking to enthusiastic crowds here and in Richmond, Va., said the election offered voters a stark choice between an America “where everyone gets a fair shot” and the Republican vision offered by Mr. Romney, which he said was built on a credo of layoffs, outsourcing, tax avoidance and union busting.

Seeking to link Mr. Romney to Congressional Republicans, the president said the presumptive Republican nominee was their candidate and could be relied on to “rubber-stamp” their agenda, “if he gets the chance.”

“Ohio, I tell you what,” Mr. Obama said, his voice rising, “we cannot give him that chance.” The crowd of 14,000 supporters erupted into cheers and chants of “Four more years!”

Hanging above him was a blue-and-white banner with the word “Forward” — a new slogan the president invoked as a reason to re-elect him and as a rebuke of Mr. Romney, who he said would drag the country back to what he called the failed policies that led to the 2008 financial crisis.

“Governor Romney is a patriotic American who has raised a wonderful family,” Mr. Obama said, before painting the former Massachusetts governor as an out-of-touch plutocrat who he said lectures hard-working Americans on the need to be more productive.

“I don’t care about how many ways you try to explain it,” the president said, mocking a line Mr. Romney once used while campaigning. “Corporations aren’t people. People are people.”

Many of the president’s points were familiar, having been grist for remarks at countless fund-raisers. But these rallies — at Virginia Commonwealth University and Ohio State University — provided him with his first chance to shrug off the tension between governing and campaigning and plunge into campaign mode.

Appearing without a jacket or tie, his preferred look during his first campaign, Mr. Obama spoke with a combative tone, his voice becoming hoarse toward the end, as he pleaded for support for another four years in office.

As reinforcement, Mr. Obama brought along his wife, Michelle, to introduce him. The first lady, wearing a turquoise dress that almost matched the sea of blue placards, tried to warm up the crowd with a slogan from 2008.

“It sounds like you all are already fired up and ready to go,” she said to a swell of cheers. “Let me tell you, I’m pretty fired up and ready to go myself.”

Recounting the story of her father’s struggles to put her and her brother through college, Mrs. Obama said her husband was fighting for an America where everybody gets a shot at success.

The atmosphere at both rallies was buoyant and the crowds were sizable, though in Columbus the turnout did not fill the Schottenstein Center’s 18,300 seats. David Plouffe, a senior adviser to the president, said he was happy with the crowds at this point noting that they dwarfed those that turned out for Mr. Romney.

At times, the rallies had the feeling of a concert by an aging rock star: a few supporters were wearing faded “Hope” and Obama 2008 T-shirts, and cheers went up when the president told people to tell their friends that this campaign was “still about hope” and “still about change.”

….Then onto OHIO… and EMPTY SEATS…

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Saturday was supposed to be President Barack Obama’s day, dominated by headlines of successful campaign holding its first rally. Instead, reports prominently included references to thousands of empty seats at the president’s first rally here — just as the Romney campaign wanted it.

At The Ohio State University, over 5,000 seats in the 20,000-person venue went unfilled on the upper seating deck and behind the press cameras —a sharp contrast to Obama’s events in 2008, and even a 2010 event with then-Gov. Ted Strickland which drew 35,000.

ABC News had reported Saturday morning that the campaign expected “overflow” crowds at each event, crowds which never did materialize.

The New York Times quoted Obama senior adviser David Plouffe, not about the president’s remarks, but about the crowd size — with reporter Mark Landler comparing the rallies to “a concert by an aging rock star.”

Reporters had some help in noticing the empty seats. Romney spokespeople made it into both events, waiting in line like everyone else. They worked their way close to the press risers, ready to provide rapid response to Obama’s speech.

Romney Deputy Press Secretary Ryan Williams was in the audience at the OSU rally, and tweeted a picture of the empty seats — which instantly got picked up by conservative blogs. After Obama’s remarks he was swarmed by local reporters, and after giving them a standard response to the speech, he commented on the empty seats.

References to the crowd size made it into local papers and television reporters, all distracting from Obama’s message.

Democrats fired back with references to “Ford Field,” and Romney’s infamous speech to the Detroit Economic Club and the bare football stadium.

The difference between our events today and Governor Romney’s is that people came.#fordfield

But as the Romney campaign sees it, they had the last laugh — with Obama falling short of his own campaign’s expectations.

“They spent the day defending why they couldn’t sell-out the arena, not pushing their own message, so that was a big win for us,” one Romney aide said.

Correction: Obama’s 2010 rally was at the OSU Oval not at the Schottenstein Center where his rally was on Saturday.

WHO DO YOU TRUST- BASED ON THIS PHOTO?

The PUNK on the Right or a young Benjamin Netanyahu as a member of Israeli special forces?

Tired of a perpetually weak and waffling Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now pushing for early elections in order to solidify his support and move ahead on dealing with Iran’s development of nuclear weapons – with or without the support of the Obama government.

From a Times of Israel report:

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling early elections so that he and his government will be free to deal with Iran’s nuclear program this September-October, one of Israel’s best-informed political commentators said on Friday night.

Netanyahu is set on Sunday to announce that he is dissolving parliament and calling elections for September 4 — a year ahead of schedule. In the weeks immediately after that vote, said well-connected commentator Amnon Abramovich on the top-rated Channel 2 news, Netanyahu will head a transition government at home and have no need to worry about voter sentiment, and he knows that President Barack Obama will be paralyzed by the US presidential campaign.

Netanyahu has shocked the nation in the past few days by indicating that he will be calling elections a year ahead of their scheduled date in October 2013, leaving analysts baffled as to his reasoning…Abramovich said that the dramatic decision to bring the elections forward relates to Iran.

…And finally, said Abramovich, the September-October period would see Obama, who has publicly urged more patience in allowing diplomacy and sanctions to have their impact on Iran, in the final stages of the presidential election campaign, with a consequent reduced capacity to try to pressure Israel into holding off military intervention.Obama, “on the eve of elections, won’t dare criticize Israel,” said Abramovich. From Netanyahu’s point of view, “the conditions would be fantastic.”

…Netanyahu has been repeatedly drawing parallels in recent weeks between the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel and the Holocaust, has said sanctions are not working, and warned that he will not allow Israel to have to live in the shadow of “annihilation.”

America’s Historic Cokehead President

Does it bother you that the most powerful man on the planet was a longtime drug user? Does it bother you that he has attempted to use his drug abuse to gain credibility with young Americans? Does it bother you that his acknowledgment of having been a serious drug user has been given a pass in the news media?

If any of these facts do bother you, then you obviously fail to recognize their significance. Don’t you see? Barack Obama is the first U.S. president to admit to cocaine abuse, to describe it in a manner designed to impress the young, and to get away with it. It’s historic.

Consider his most famous “admission.” In Dreams from My Father, the first of his two autobiographies (a historic number of pre-presidential autobiographies), he describes his college drug use this way:

I had learned not to care. … Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though[.] … Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d be headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then anyway. I got just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.

Where to begin? Why does a grown man (34 years old, and about to embark on a state senatorial campaign), looking back on his past from a presumably sober, adult perspective, feel the need to use street lingo like “pot,” “blow,” and “smack”? Perhaps it is true that his drug use — “by then anyway” — was not aimed at proving “what a down brother” he was, but this adult reversion to the hip language of the street punk certainly is aimed at exactly that.

George W. Bush, grilled about his alleged drug use, demurred that he had been wayward in his youth, but that God had saved him from all that. In other words, he at least tried to maintain his adult dignity by drawing an explicit maturity barrier between the numbskull he had been and the gentleman he had since become. Even Bill Clinton, who never did become an adult, nevertheless saw the need to fake it, and thus produced the Clintonesque charmer about not having inhaled.

By contrast, in 2006, when Jay Leno asked Obama a scripted question about whether he had inhaled, the U.S. Senator smilingly replied, “That was the point.”

A clever smack (er, I mean “shot”) at Clinton, to be sure, and one which Obama used repeatedly before and during his primary campaign against Clinton’s wife…but isn’t there something unsavory about a presidential candidate elevating himself above a past president by quipping, in effect, “Clinton was a square; I know how to smoke dope”?

And consider the historic pomposity of his self-justification in that Dreams passage:

I got just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.

What a load of claptrap. Obama attempts to romanticize, even to mythologize, his drug abuse by musing that, although it may initially have been about proving “what a down brother” he was, it later became part of his struggle for identity — about pushing “questions of who he was” out of his mind, about flattening his bumpy heart, about blurring “the edges of his memory.”

Stripped of the self-glorifying language, what has he really said? In boring translation: I started using drugs because I wanted to fit in, but I continued to use them because I got hooked on the sensation of losing contact with reality. How is this different from the experience of any other “junkie” or “pothead”?

American Thinker

 

Did Black America Make a Mistake Electing Obama as President??

Rather than concern for important issues affecting most Americans, like the ECONOMY, JOBS and IMMIGRATION.. We are constantly drawn into divisive issues beneficial to one person and one thing only-

“Obama and his re-election to the presidency for another four years.”

Had we been aware of Obama’s bruised mental state unable to transcend race for the greater good of ALL Americans; the outcome of the Primary Race against Hillary Clinton and the General Election against John McCain may have been the better places for drawing the line in the sand and fight for what we knew was the better track for the majority of Americans.  Had “we known” Obama was unprepared to advance America as ‘the Land of Opportunity’ ignoring issues improving the lives of all Americans, particularly the Black communities; the only conclusion drawn from the last 3.5 yrs of Obama’s stewardship of the once greatest country on earth is…. We made a mistake electing a man with a hidden agenda. A man who took advantage of the great, generous, hearts of 99% of all Americans who felt, ‘why not elect a black president?’, it’s time we demonstrate ‘we are ONE for ALL and ALL for ONE!’

Obama has taken advantage of the Constitutional values represented in America and turned them on their heads. He has undone the balance of power laid out in the three branches of government by the Founding Fathers using his Executive Power through signing statements, bypassing Congress, that  are to the detriment of the Republic and a democratic government.

Obama has chosen a Racist strategy for control of the narrative distracting from his record of non-achievement for the betterment of Americans.  You have to ask yourself… are race relations better or worse with black Americans since Obama took office?  Have black Americans advanced their culture using Obama’s strategy? Do they have more jobs, better homes, greater incomes, better lives for their families since Obama took office?  Has Obama advanced the the betterment of Black communities as he promised, during the 08′ campaign? I would say NOT- Have the Black communities understood and realized they were used to advance Obama’s dream to become the first black president?  And now their usefulness is for nothing more than to advance the destruction of the America that afforded them the opportunities to vote for a black man becoming president.

Even Oprah was misled- yet she stays silent about the exploitation of African Americans much less fortunate than herself, that suffer without relief from their messiah whose election promises have gone unfulfilled. If there is any doubt that Black Americans have been exploited by Obama and his Chicago thugs.. ask the tenants who were victims of substandard section 8 housing- Obama let them freeze for an entire bitter Chicago winter without heat- when they complained to their community organizer running for state senate, Barack Obama, asking him for help– they were informed by Obama’s Law office, his office was  representing the builder/now landlord causing the problems.

It appears when Black Americans wake-up, it will be too late- If they are only concerned about color and race; they failed the first test recognizing a RED FLAG that appeared when tenants complained of a lack of heat in their homes in Obama’s voting district and fell for the usual excuses made by their messiah, Obama– “It’s Not My Fault”- “Elect me president and you will see a CHANGE!

If Black America is Hoping for Change; re-electing a Bamboozler is not going to get you the CHANGE you were HOPING for.

Obama Tweets: No Red or Blue States…Barack States!

Last night, President Obama’s campaign Twitter feed posted the following tweet:

THERE ARE NO RED OR BLUE STATES; JUST THE UNITED STATES. pic.twitter.com/xm7EFGjK

In other words, there are no red or blue states … just the Obama States. You have to love the narcissism of a president who posts a picture of himself at the center of America, presenting himself as greater than the country, all of which is united under his hopey-changey administration.

This is 1984-type stuff. This is the most polarizing president in American history, and he’s busy telling us that we’re all united under his auspices. War is peace. Poverty is wealth. Polarization is unity. United States is Barack States.

putthehammerdown says:

“What is insulting to this writer is that Barry lies with impunity, knows that ‘Boobus Americanis’ has the memory of a fruit fly and hence,gets away with double talk in record time(s). His house propagandists {aka: The SCUM} do no follow up, continually mis-state or outright lie about his meager ‘accomplishments’, and chirp in unison to anything this Narcissist utters.
Insulting? Let us consider the uncounted unemployed who have dropped out of even attempting to find a job, due to the breathtakingly insane “economic” policies of this rank rube and his sycophants. What has Barry reached across the aisle and Stimulated lately?

Ask any banker/credit union ceo you can reach why lending is at a standstill. It’s called ‘Dodd-Frank’ and ‘the unknown edicts, yet to come.’

You ask if conservatives ‘… have no wordsmiths or artists…”?

WHI: “Ain’t I Just The Best President Ever?”

A brief (and unexpected!) message just received from a longtime D.C. political operative regarding the soon to take place President Obama national address from Afghanistan on the eve of the one year anniversary of the Osama Bin Laden military mission indicating further dishonesty and deception from the Obama White House. Here is that message:

I don’t have time to answer all your questions.  Will just focus on the matter at hand and that is the president’s trip to Afghanistan.  What everyone is now calling the “spiking of the football”.  You ask me if that is an accurate description.  Hell yes that’s an accurate description.  That is exactly what he is doing and it’s been in the works for quite some time.  The irony is he’s such a pansy ass little -expletive- he wouldn’t know the first thing about playing football now would he?  And he’s gonna spike that football right into the faces of the military who actually carried out the mission that was developed by Panetta and others without the direct knowledge of this -expletive- absentee president.

What you’re gonna likely see coming out of the mouths of the media elites who support the president is the explanation of the trip along the lines of Obama being invited by Karzai.  NOT TRUE.

The administration reached out to the Karzai people at least 3 months ago on this to inform them the president would be coming to mark the Bin Laden anniversary.  The little agreement pact or whatever they are calling it is a political ruse.  Typical stuff.  This administration isn’t too good at keeping their mouths shut about it though.

The Karzai regime was told to play nice and let the president have his moment. Karzai needs American money and at least some American military presence to ensure his own safety. If those two items are removed he either gets his ass out of Afghanistan or he’s dead within a month. He is hated by some rather powerful tribal forces who are far more hardcore with the Muslim jihad thing than he is. They see him as a propped up pro-Western World political whore.

They’re right of course. He always has been. The difference now is that Barack Obama is willing to -expletive- right up the ass without a moments hesitation if he don’t play ball with his re-election goals. Not play ball with American military interests. Obama don’t care about that. Or he only cares as much as those interests protect his own re-election campaign. He really needs that second term to finish the job and ensure the real money rolls in for him after the fact. Remember the one term/two term study they did for him a while back I told you about? That thing stuck and Obama and those closest to him want their full payday and that comes with a second term.

So when Obama’s trap opens up tonight as he addresses the nation and the world, just know that he forced Karzai to let him show up there. That meet up will only make Karzai that much more hated by certain groups in Afghanistan, and therefore that much more at risk when the Americans finally pull out for good, which I also hear Obama’s people want to happen about a month before the vote in November with a lot more “ain’t I just the best president ever” stuff to go along with it.

Sidenote for you. The old man is doing a little better and I gotta give him some real credit. His work has been outstanding in evening out the playing field. Hope he can stick around because if we pull this off, he deserves a hell of a lot of gratitude from the country. I don’t know how many resources and favors he’s used up in the last few months but it’s gotta be off the chart stuff that you or I can only dream of.

You’ll see him again. I’m pretty confident of that.

I know I keep promising a sit down with you but the schedule just keeps filling up for me. Will be in touch though. Def. want to have a talk soon. Will make it happen.

And you’re doing good work. Keep at it. Your efforts are getting noticed and I may not say it enough. Have I ever? I do appreciate it.

P.S. Yeah I listened to the link. You got a woman reading for me? You’re an -expletive- but I did enjoy it.

Thanks again Ulsterman for having a reliable source with a pulse on the goings on at the Obama WH and never failing to be first on the scene reporting the HORROR of it all to US-  God Bless!

Now Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Telling Obama To Stop Politicizing Bin Laden Mission

More and more figures with direct knowledge of what actually happened before, during, and after the Osama Bin Laden mission last year are openly rebuking President Barack Obama for his attempts to take credit and political advantage for the military operation.

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden

“What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound.”

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED MAY 3RD, 2011

Note: This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.

______________________

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

Link to 2011 story

Headline story
During a segment aired last night on NBC, former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said the following:

Well, I worry about it, just because it’s the political season…I do worry a great deal that this time of year that somehow this gets spun into election politics. I can assure you that those individuals who risk their lives–the last thing in the world that they want is to be spun into that. So I’m hoping that that doesn’t happen. LINK

To have such a high ranking former member of the United States military making such a public statement that conflicts with a standing president’s current use of the Bin Laden mission for political gain is nothing short of remarkable. Perhaps though, Admiral Mullen is reminded of this version of the events leading up to the military operation against the Bin Laden compound last year – of which he certainly played a part:

Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act.

…What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates’ office, a representative from Leon Panetta’s office, and a representative from Jim Clapper’soffice. I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound. I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States.

There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the situation room where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold.

Obama’s REAL Views On Religion Captured On Video – Government is Greater than God

Though not new to some who have been paying attention to Barack Obama since he began running for president in 2007, this video from 2006 may stun those not yet aware of its existence, showing Senator Barack Obama dismissing America’s Christian heritage, mocking passages of the Bible, condemning the United States Defense Department, calling for “universal” values over “religion specific” values, and indicating the United States is not a nation under God – and in fact indicates the will of government is superior to the those of God. The public Barack Obama of 2012 is not the real Barack Obama – the REAL Barack Obama is the one speaking here in this video – a radical universalist, both dismissive and angry over the concept of a Christian values based United States of America.

Good one! And thanks again Ulsterman for your unrelenting publishing of Obama’s hypocrisy!

BLOOD ON MEDIA’S HANDS AFTER SERIES OF HATE CRIMES

We’re learning today that in Obama’s Chicago, 18 year-old Alton L. Hayes has just been charged by police with “attempted robbery and aggravated battery along with a hate crime” for attacking and robbing a 19 year-old man.  Hayes is black, the victim is white, and Hayes told investigators “he was angry about the [Trayvon] Martin shooting and decided to attack the victim because of his race.”

Now why would Hayes do this? For starters, Zimmerman is Hispanic, not Caucasian. Secondly, there’s absolutely zero proof Zimmerman was racially motivated to shoot Martin. In fact, an overwhelming amount of evidence suggests race had nothing to do with it.

My guess is that if Hayes is telling the truth about his sinister motives, he’s been watching too much CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC. After all, those are the media outlets guilty, in some cases, of outright racial fabrication in their zeal to aid Barack Obama’s re-election campaign by falsely attributing racism to Mr. Zimmerman’s motives.

The bottom line is that if Hayes’ professed motive for attacking another man is based on lies told over and over and over again by Obama’s Media Palace Guards.

For those of us who monitor the corrupt media, the Trayvon Martin story was on our radars as a media phenomenon. But what confirmed the political motive was when our divisive, polarizing President gave his media minions the green-light to go all-in after he cynically made the shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager all about race (“My son would look like Trayvon“).

Florida is a must-win swing state for the President and turnout is where his fortunes will live or die. Ginning up the base brings voters to the polls and nothing gins up Democrat voters like a good old-fashioned racial firestorm. And because the media’s in bed with Barack Obama, a racial firestorm (based on misinformation) is what we got.

First came the media’s obvious disappointment over the fact that the alleged shooter, a man with the name “Zimmerman,” was neither Caucasian nor Jewish. Never ones to let facts get in the way of a witch hunt (remember Tucson), the media solved that little factual problem by making up an entirely new racial category for Zimmerman: “white Hispanic.” Like our President, one of Zimmerman’s parents is white, and yet we never hear Obama described as a “white African-American.”

But of course we don’t. That wouldn’t fit the narrative. But in order to cast this story in the kind of light necessary to make enough voters angry to tip Florida Obama’s way, Zimmerman cannot simply be Hispanic because that’s another voting bloc Obama desperately needs to win the state.

The Narrative Beast was still hungry, though, and required constant feeding. Not only must Obama’s Media Palace Guards in some way make Zimmerman white, he must also be turned into a  — duh, duh-duhnnn — racist! And it was in this department that the sycophant media sold what was left of their souls.

To kick things off, before ABC News examined surveillance tape with the full technology available to them, the network released a half-baked and rushed examination of the tape with this hysterical headline:

“Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman.”

The only problem is that ABC News jumped the gun. Later, a full enhancement using all the technology available to ABC showed a pretty serious gash on Zimmerman’s head. But the damage was already done. By accident or design, the die was cast for many that Zimmerman had lied about shooting Martin in self-defense after the teenager attacked him.

But the media was just getting started. CNN — “The Most Trusted Name In News,” donchaknow — went one step further than ABC News. They examined the audio of a 911 tape and before enhancing the audio using the full technology available to them, suggested to the world that Zimmerman had called Trayvon a “fucking coon.”

Later, CNN was forced to walk this back and admit Zimmerman had said no such thing, but once again, by accident or design, the seed Obama so desperately needs planted to divide this country racially, had been planted by his media pals.

But the Crown Jewel of irresponsible racial fraud most definitely goes out to NBC News, who on their oh-so legendary “Today Show” would broadcast to the world 911 audio that had been maliciously edited to make Zimmerman look racist:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

When the truth is that the unedited audio actually went like this:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.

And do I even need to point out the 24/7 smear campaign launched in the fever swamps of MSNBC?

To understand just how sinister the whole of the media has been here, you have to remember that this is the “whole of the media.” This isn’t Dan Rather with forged documents or those Left-wingnuts at MSNBC.

To aid Barack Obama’s re-election campaign to racially divide and enflame this country and most especially a swing-state, the whole of the media ganged up to fabricate, parse, and misinform the public about a private citizen. And guess who was listening….

Alton L. Hayes. And by his own admission, this intentional and politically-driven misinformation campaign created by Obama’s Media Palace Guards, motivated Hayes to target and assault an innocent man.

The media is not biased.

The media is not out of touch.

The media is corrupt, and now they have blood on their hands.

Top Obama DOJ Official RESIGNING Over Fast and Furious and VI BriberyScandal?

Reports now indicating U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to step down under pressure from Fast and Furious scandal as well as ongoing investigation into multi-million dollar bribery scheme….

From the Daily Caller and Ulsterman:

U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich plans to resign his position soon, as two different scandals rage on in which he has provided allegedly misleading information to Congress.

…The DOJ official is the same Holder deputy who falsely told Congress that neither the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives nor any part of the Department of Justice ever allowed illicit firearms to “walk” across the U.S.-Mexico border — even as contrary facts emerged from the investigation into Operation Fast and Furious.

…In February, Weich denied the Justice Department’s involvement in another scandal. The Daily Caller learned that the DOJ had failed to arrest and prosecute several indicted financial criminals because of an alleged bribery scheme. Weich said the DOJ had no knowledge of any bribery.

But TheDC’s investigation unearthed allegations that two DOJ prosecutors on a team of more than 25 accepted cash bribes from indicted finance executives in the U.S. Virgin Islands. And USVI Gov. John de Jongh allegedly accepted part of at least $20 million in cash bribes in exchange for favors from his administration. At least five other prosecutors, according to TheDC’s well-placed source in the DOJ, were compromised.

…DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to months of questions from TheDC about the specifics of this story. Schmaler also didn’t respond on Wednesday when asked what connection, if any, Weich’s resignation has to Operation Fast and Furious, or to the Virgin Islands case.

Obama’s policy record goes viral…

Pictures are worth a thousand words… Videos are worth millions of words…

Axelrod: GOP Controlled by Far Right ‘Reign of Terror’

David Axelrod, senior Obama 2012 strategist, awaits certain rebuke by President Barack Obama today after he violated the guidelines for civil dialogue laid down by the President in the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting in January 2011 by referring to Republicans as terrorists.

At the ceremony for the victims and survivors in Tucson, President Obama made a new commitment to the nation (emphasis added):

But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized — at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do — it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.

Axelrod explicitly violated that new presidential directive when he stated on CNN’s State of the Union this morning that Republicans were part of a “reign of terror”:

I think a lot of Republicans in Congress want to cooperate, know better, but they’re in the thralls of this reign of terror from the far right that has dragged the party to the right. In your own polling and other polling, you see the Republican Party has really moved out of the mainstream.

The reference to terrorists is clearly at odds with President Obama’s policy on civility. It also violates a commitment that President Obama made earlier this month not to question his opponents’ patriotism, as reported by Politico:

“I’m a firm believer that whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, that you’re a patriot, you care about this country, you love this country,” Obama said at an intimate fundraiser in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. “And so I’m not somebody who, when we’re in a political contest, suggests somehow that one side or the other has a monopoly on love of country.”

Given that terrorists are at war with the United States, Axelrod’s comment is clearly meant to suggest that Republicans–and the “reign of terror” that allegedly dominates them–are behaving in anti-American ways.

There is no word yet from the White House, or from Obama 2012 headquarters in Chicago, on what Axelrod’s fate will be–whether a public rebuke from the president, or temporary suspension from his campaign duties.

Failure to respond to Axelrod’s clear and flagrant violation of President Obama’s policy on civility would be unthinkable, as it might suggest that the President actually endorsed Axelrod’s views, and that his commitment to civility in the wake of a terrible national tragedy had been insincere, cynical, and opportunistic.

Unthinkable. Really.

August 14, 2012 In “Fool Me Twice”, investigative journalists and New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott reveal the detailed blueprints for President Obama’s second term in office.

Publication Date: August 14, 2012

In Fool Me Twice, investigative journalists and New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott reveal the detailed blueprints for President Obama’s second term in office.

Just as Obama concealed the true plans for his initial term behind rhetoric of ending partisan differences and cutting the Federal deficit, Obama’s re-election theme of creating jobs conceals more than it reveals about his real agenda for a second term – the “progressive” program to complete the fundamental transformation of America during the next four years.

This book is filled with stunning revelations, including second-term plans for a “New Deal”-style overhaul of the economy replete with the creation of a National Infrastructure Development Bank to oversee government control of the financial system; a massive, government-run jobs program to coincide with “paycheck fairness”; full amnesty for illegal aliens; de-funding of the U.S. military while channeling Pentagon money to “clean” energy initiatives; a new, multi-billion dollar “green” stimulus; and implementing Obamacare in measures nearly impossible to reverse. And that is just the start.

“Fool Me Twice” is based on exhaustive research into the coming plans and presidential policies as well as the specific second term recommendations of the major “progressive” groups behind Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership – the organizations that help to craft the legislation and set the political and rhetorical agenda for the president and his allies.

While many have general concerns about Obama’s second-term ambitions, “Fool Me Twice” lays bare the devastating details of a second Obama presidency. If he wins re-election in 2012, the America of equal opportunity for all, Constitutionally-limited government, economic freedom and personal liberty will be but a distant memory.

WALL STREET INSIDER: “Obama Is Pulling The Mask Away For All The World To See”

YOUR PRESIDENT UNMASKED! HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?

Interview with the Wall St. Insider

WSI:
You look almost surprised to see me young man. (winks)

UM: I…your letter…….I didn’t think we would be having these conversations anymore.

WSI: Oh, well…I was told to…to…to overcome my pride. Pride is not to be a part of this process anymore. Too close to…the…to the inevitable. But I’m not there yet. And I do feel better. I know I don’t look better to you…I can see it on your face there…but I really do feel better. I am blessed to die an old man. So many of us….so many did not have that………………..that blessing. I do get tired easily though, so please be patient with me – you always have been. I may…wander a bit. But don’t……………..there is no need to-to…….to change…..to not express those moments as they are. Does that make sense?

UM: You don’t want me to edit the lapses? The times you may “wander”? I’ve done that before for you – it’s no trouble. You don’t want me to do that?

WSI: That is correct. I cannot allow my pride to alter how I really speak to you here. I don’t wish to sound any different…any…any stronger than-than……how I really am. Pride….anger….selfishness….none of that is to be allowed. My redemption cannot allow it….and there is much I….there is much need for redemption in me. Perhaps I will overcome this condition? (Shrugs) Perhaps – but I cannot chance it. Cannot allow myself to be…overtaken by my own…pride. Do you understand my meaning?

UM: I do – and I don’t think it’s necessary we try and explain it to anyone else. Anyone who has watched someone deal with what you are facing…they’ll get it. The ones who don’t – they’ll understand someday and I don’t really care about that understanding regardless. You just talk, ok? If you get tired, we can take a break. If you wander, I’ll try and focus you – does that sound alright?

WSI: Of course it is…and thank you for your patience.

You indicated…..you wanted to ask questions? About….about some rather….conspiracies? Was that it? Conspiracies? I do know of…of things. And perhaps…perhaps am ready to share.

UM: Yeah – part of it. Yes. But I don’t want to dictate what you want to talk about. So if you have some things you want to discuss right now – you go ahead and do that. If there’s time, I can ask my questions later. This is your time more than it’s my time.

WSI: (Long pause)…………….Time.

Never enough………….All the money in this world……………..one cannot stop………………

I watched the-the……….the show. That program. Every Sunday I watch it.

UM: What program?

WSI: On the television. It was…every Sunday. In the morning. The…..the gentleman…his father….Sunday mornings. Don’t trust the others….

UM: Meet the Press? Fox News?

WSI: Yes! Of course! I watched that and saw the Obama….his campaign person? Director?

UM: Plouffe?

WSI: No-no-no….not that name. Not…he has the mustache – a name like a…like a weapon.

UM: Axelrod.

WSI: Yes! That is it? David….David Axelrod. The one -Name Deleted- cannot stand. That is it. Axelrod. Mr. Axelrod….of course. He was on the program.

UM: And?

WSI: There was a part….something he said. I knew of it. I had done it…or more accurately…….I had asked for it to be done. What he said confirmed for me it had been done. I am still….my efforts are still….I can still provide you and others with….with the…………..influence you need for-for…….for this.

I’m not ready for…I am no goset yet! I can still serve….can still assist in…in….in our cause!

UM: Of course you can. I’ve seen your work…seen what you’ve done. It’s been brilliant. The falling donations to Obama – the CEO’s speaking out against him. Even the media coverage…even that has become less favorable. At least somewhat. The refusal by Congress to drop Solyndra…I know you’ve played some part in that.

You’re gonna hang on. You’re gonna see Barack Obama defeated in 2012.

WSI: (Shrugs) Ahhh…I’ll see it. Or not. But he must be defeated, yes. To my dying breath…yes. The American Satan that he is. What he asks of Israel. How he…the…such disregard. Such….who is he to make such….to play such a game of it? To set the world on fire?

UM: Can you go back to your Axelrod comment? Then if you want you can talk about what you are saying regarding Obama and Israel – I want to hear about that as well.

WSI: Axelrod?

UM: Yeah – Fox News. Axelrod. You said it was confirmation of what you did – or asked to be done.

WSI: Oh! Yes…of course I can. Let me…it was on the program. Of course…

You wish for me to explain that? What….the program?

UM: What you had done. How Axelrod confirmed what you had done. Can you do that?

WSI: Of course I can. Yes.

…He was on the program…yesterday. That news program. He was…Mr. Axelrod…he was so supportive of the Occupy agenda. The protesting agenda. What was done last year but now…seems quite certain to be escalating. I wanted the…the…was hoping to get the…proof of that.

UM: Proof of the escalation? Of the protests?

WSI: No-no…not that exactly. More a matter of the………administration’s involvement. Of tying it in to them…making the direct link. Of making it…of having something concrete…something visual to point to. To share with others who might still……..hesitate.

UM: Hesitate? Who are you talking about?

WSI: Others… such as myself…people who don’t wish….in my case didn’t wish but now know there is no choice but to act. To…to get our hands dirty if you will. There are….there remains some who still don’t wish to believe in the dangers of Barack Obama winning a second term. The election. And…the…and another four years of the president. Of….President Obama. They don’t want to believe. They don’t…they can’t quite yet grasp……how bad it really is. Not how bad it could be……how bad it is. Right now. This very moment. Obama is pulling the mask away for all the world to see but they…the world does not yet believe their own eyes! They choose not to see the truth! Just…….it was the same. The very same thing.

Hitler.

UM: (Pause) ….So Axelrod confirmed…what? That the campaign is all in on Occupy this summer? -Name Deleted- already said that was the case. They were ramping it back up. Occupy, the race war, the class war – all of it.

WSI: Yes – yes…he did say that. But this weekend…yesterday on the program…I watched it. I heard it. Mr. Axelrod openly confirmed that is the intent. It’s one thing for someone to….for -Name Deleted- to say it will happen. A source…your interviews…the format you use….it’s one thing to warn of it. To accuse the administration of it………but now there was Mr. Axelrod openly embracing it. Through that preposterous “Buffet Rule” of course….Buffet? Really? Are Americans aware of how many millions Mr. Buffett has spent to avoid paying his taxes? (Shakes head) The entire notion of this “Buffet Rule” is surreal. How this administration…how Obama…how they have embraced this figure…this fabrication that is Warren Buffett. Bastardized new money trash. He has no notion of…he is being used by these people. These anti-American….these….by America’s Satan.

UM: If you can…would you please go back to David Axelrod. What you saw – it was Fox News Sunday. That was the program. Right?

WSI: Yes – that is correct. Rupert’s company. And see what they are doing to him! The global monsters of socialism! They come for him! For his family! A lifetime of work! And some might ask why I don’t reveal myself! So easy for them to say such a thing! His life threatened. The lives of his children threatened. His very freedom threatened. That is what is happening in the shadows you know. Just under the surface. They are….they are…America is the prize. So goes America……………so goes the world. If they can get to Murdoch………….

You need protection! You are next!

UM: Back to David Axelrod please. Do you need a break?

WSI: (Long pause) Apologies. So sorry. I’m not……focusing well enough for you am I?

UM: You’re doing fine.

WSI: Axelrod? Yes – I watched him on the program the…it was yesterday.

UM: That’s right – he said something….you heard something that confirmed the Obama campaign is going…going all – in on the Occupy movement. The one that had you so concerned last year.

WSI: It was confirmed for me…yes. It……….I had asked to see proof……to have it confirmed…..yes. I can still be of service. I….do you still….can I still be a part of this? Can I still help? I have attempted to reach -Name Deleted- but….they do no….have not heard back from them. They…….you still want my help, yes?

UM: Absolutely. Remember what you said – you wanna see Obama defeated. You are going to see him lose the election. You made that promise to me. You strike me as a person of your word – so that’s what you’re gonna do, right?

WSI: (Pause) I do hope so.

UM: What did David Axelrod say during his interview on Fox News? Tying them to Occupy via the Buffet Rule?

WSI: They were discussing….the young gentleman…his father just passed recently. The other one. The other…he was a news man as well.

UM: Wallace – Mike Wallace. His son…Chris Wallace on Fox News….

WSI: Yes – that….yes. The son of Mike Wallace. I watched him for so many years! What a wonderful career! So remarkable how…so quickly time has gone….

UM: (Interrupts) —So Chris Wallace is interviewing David Axelrod…

WSI: Yes….on the program. I watched it….it was yesterday. And I had…well….a request was made. I wanted confirmation of course. I…I…told you that already, yes?

UM: That’s right – confirmation. Something Axelrod said….you wanted to get it….get it on record? I believe that term would work.

WSI: Yes! Yes! On the record! To show others proof of….of what they intend. How dangerous….how…how the…this year of the voting….the election….how important this time…(very long pause)

….how we cannot sit this one out. We cannot….we cannot believe ourselves to be…..above it all.

(Hold up hands) We must get….this is no time for clean hands. This is….I told you this before….this is war.

UM: And what did Axelrod say to give you that on the record moment?

WSI: The term – I had used it….Had requested it be used and it was! That….to pose that question! Because it linked to the before the war. To the principles of Nazism. The two concepts were linked then…we know of this. We have studied it…..perhaps not the bastardized version that….that liberals use in this country. But….enough of us…the truly faithful….we know. (Points finger upward) WE KNOW. WE KNOW.

UM: Know what?

WSI: The term that was used was…that… “Social Darwinism.” Barack Obama used that term recently in accusation against the….that budget proposal. The….what….his name is….the young gentleman? The….he was with Mitt Romney. They were…they stood together.

UM: Paul Ryan – the Ryan budget proposal. To curb deficit spending. To cut the size of the federal government?

WSI: There – yes. You are correct. Paul Ryan. I like him. Appears quite bright. A good Senator.

UM: He’s a Congressman – Paul Ryan.

WSI: That is…yes. He’s a fine Congressman. I like him. Bright young man…

(Pause)

UM: So Axelrod used the term Social Darwinism….that was some kind of….proof for you? A signal? For you? For…for others?

WSI: That was the set up. It had been requested that the discussion go there. And they did it! I watched it! The very question was asked of him!

UM: By you? You requested it of…Chris Wallace? Fox News?

WSI: Not…I have told you of the influence of…the…that of….

…let me begin this again. I apologize.

…………I have told you of the influence of advertising revenues on networks, publications………I recall having told you that. The true…I would call it the true Wag the Dog of…of our modern society.

UM: Yes – I recall you mentioning that before.

WSI: So…those sources were utilized in this particular….this situation. For this….the plan was in place. If Axelrod was to be interviewed….it had to be Fox News. I do not trust the others. And Murdoch…he is fearful but remains…an ally in this. In his own way. But it is the revenue stream that provides the force by which we can………..we are able to exert some measure of…….force. We can shape the-the….the words. The…..we can shape the dialogue.

UM: So you wanted a discussion on Social Darwinism?

WSI: No…not that…it was…that was to be the code…a….a signal if you will.

UM: To those others….the ones you say are not quite yet ready to admit…or to see just how dangerous the Obama administration has become?

WSI: Yes….in part. Obama is but…he is a pawn in all of this. Our first discussion we had…you remember that? I told you of that, didn’t I? I have done much….not myself mind you. But resources have been utilized…information gathered….this is a global crisis. Barack Obama’s election in 2008…it was….it was itself a signal. Now those forces are moving…..and so quickly. I was like those others I am now trying to convince…terribly ignorant of….of all of it. Ignorant. Arrogant. Much like -Name Deleted-…they shared something similar to you. Their own…a crisis of faith. A…revelation…the truth.

….My hands were clean you see. Or so….so I thought. Perhaps on some level I knew better….and of course now I understand. Now I know.

….These hands were never clean.

UM: Can you talk more about what Axelrod said? Please focus on that.

WSI: Yes…he was speaking on social Darwinism. Accusing Republicans…of the young…Mr. Ryan’s budget of being a tool of that very thing. The words were placed in Obama’s mouth…he spoke them….but he did not originate them.

….And it was then tied into the Buffet Rule….that blatant lie being….being spread by the radicals. A higher tax on the wealthy that will somehow help to balance the budget? A few billion dollars raised in the face of….how many TRILLIONS being manufactured by this administration and others around the world? That tax has nothing to do with assisting the budget deficit! It is merely…the platform…the vehicle if you will….for what….the….the protests. That movement again. But this time….the proximity to the election. This time….it will be far-far worse.

…The unions are orchestrating all of that…much of it….what is coming. The summer months….Axelrod confirmed it for us on that program.

…Mr. Axelrod did not run away from that term…Social Darwinism. He embraced its use. He then…he added…he came out again with those bellwether terms of “fairness” and…the…his threats to those with disabilities and the old.

UM: How does – what specifically are you talking about regarding what David Axelrod said that was a signal to others? I am not quite understanding your meaning there.

WSI: It’s right there! Right there! You don’t see it? The Buffet….that tax raising…it doesn’t raise anything! At least nothing that compares to what the Obama White House is spending. They are openly lying to everyone! To take money from those few wealthy….you could not sustain the federal government for more than…it was told to me it would be approximately twenty minutes. Twenty minutes! So what then….what is the purpose of all of this? Why push for this? It’s about…it ties in with the primary motivation….no…that is not the correct term….the – the…re-election plan. They are….this is so far beyond Barack Obama. He is simply the tool – he is not the hand who now wields that tool! He never…never has been.

…The Obama administration…their own budget was….it was ignored. By everyone. There is no serious attempt to curb government spending. NONE. Just…it’s just the….the direction is…just the opposite. They are accelerating the deficit. In conjunction with the FED, the false paper….the trillions in false paper now being produced….continues to be produced….while figures such as this Axelrod….this Mr. Axelrod….he lies. Over and over and over again. He fabricates. His propaganda is….it is everywhere now. He is Goebbels. Everything is being promised by this administration. They make promises to the American people. You will get all of this – and pay nothing. Everything is being promised to the Muslim Brotherhood….you will get this – and you pay nothing. Everything is being promised to nations such as Russia…you will get this – and pay nothing. The IMF…World Bank…United Nations…those things are also being promised….to others…by others.

…And so…that subject….that term….Social Darwinism. It was placed in Barack Obama’s mouth. It was repeated on that program again by David Axelrod. The subject brought up…as requested….and they….they were kind enough to comply. Watch the….that program. Watch it! If you have not done so….if you have….watch it again! He lies. He lies. He lies. The president DID say it would….that the Buffet tax would stabilize the deficit. He said it! And this Axelrod…he lies. Again and again and again. While using that term of Social Darwinism. While once again using fear and division to gain support from the voting public who they are convinced….they believe….that this voting public is so stupid and selfish to believe the lies. These people…these Obama people…all of them…the….the higher ranking ones….they despise the American public. Jarrett….-Name Deleted- spoke of her often, yes? I knew little of her…but I now know plenty. She…her machinations with the Muslim Brotherhood…her vile hatred of Israel….her condemnation of the Prime Minister! She is the snake in the garden who whispers into the ear of this president. A vile, reptilian….that woman….her hatred of the Jews, of White America…of corporations she cannot yet control….of women who choose conservatism over liberalism…

UM: Hold up…sorry to interrupt but…we can…I want to definitely come back to your views on Valerie Jarrett. I don’t believe you have mentioned her to me before – you indicated you had done some research. I definitely want to talk to you about that. But…sorry if I’m not quite grasping it – your focus on David Axelrod and his use of the term Social Darwinism. Why is that….why has that upset you so much?

WSIYou are an educated man, yes?

UM: I like to think so.

WSI: And yet you don’t….you don’t…the subject of Social Darwinism….Nazi Germany….extermination of the Jews…monetary de-valuation…centralized government…you are not aware of the implications?

UM: Somewhat…in very general terms. If that…though I’m not entirely clear where you are leading me here…

WSI: Damn you.

UM: What?

WSI: Damn you and everyone like you….that is not…I don’t say that to condemn you…apologies… I say that….how that history has been….it is forgotten! It….all of the warnings. They are there to see….all of it. You are so fond of….what is the term you use? “Connect the dots”, yes?

UM: Yeah – connecting the dots. Linking how one event or individual ties into others to make the bigger picture.

WSI: So….why do you fail to connect the dots here? The very essence….the very plan….the Goddamn roadmap of where these people intend to take us! Why have you not….Why? Just a bit of effort? You still don’t see what is there! You still…you still won’t truly take that walk will you? And if you are unwilling…then…then…who? If you cannot see….who can? What…is this all lost? Is this…is…Social Darwinism…Nazism…collapsing valuation…fear…division…and centralized control of course…purging of those who prove unwilling…political purging…military purging….it’s all there. Right in front of you…all of it…

(whispering)…………..damn you.

UM: I don’t understand.

WSI: (Long pause) ……………………That’s just it, isn’t it?

UM: What?

WSI: Go. Please….just….please just go.

UM: We’re done?

WSI: Yes….we’re done.

UM: Can…we can pick this up again? Soon?

WSI: I don’t know. Perhaps.

…….perhaps not.

(Long silence)

WSI: Can you….at this time….can you do me this one favor? To convince me….to….to show me that all is not lost?

UM: Yeah – absolutely. If it mean we can continue this discussion…yes. What is it?

WSI:

Do your homework.

Please.

ULSTERMAN, YOU’VE OUTDONE YOURSELF!

Obama White House Bought and Paid For By Highest Bidders (WSI RELATED)

In a rather startling change in its normally overwhelmingly favorable pro-Obama tone, the New York Times publishes a lengthy expose on just how willing the Obama administration is to participate in “pay to play” politics – and even directly links the environment to top senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

As the news cycle and American public are distracted by the Secret Service/military prostitution scandal now developing, the New York Times publishes a story that has considerably more far-reaching implications into the corrupted inner workings of the Obama White House – including an on the record quote from a member of the Kennedy family confirming allegations the Obama administration engages in quid pro quo politics.
Excerpts:
…The lobbyist did not get there by himself.

He was accompanied by Antoinette C. Bush, a well-connected Washington lawyer who has represented companies like Viacom, Sony and News Corporation for 30 years. A friend of the president and a cousin of his close aide Valerie B. Jarrett.

…Although Mr. Obama has made a point of not accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, a review of campaign donations and White House visitor logs shows that special interests have had little trouble making themselves heard. Many of the president’s biggest donors, while not lobbyists, took lobbyists with them to the White House, while others performed essentially the same function on their visits.

But Patrick J. Kennedy, the former representative from Rhode Island, who donated $35,800 to an Obama re-election fund last fall while seeking administration support for a nonprofit venture, said contributions were simply a part of “how this business works.”

“If you want to call it ‘quid pro quo,’ fine,” he said.

…Republicans in Congress have raised questions about whether Democratic donors who invested in the solar energy company Solyndra and other troubled firms influenced the administration’s support of those businesses, pointing to White House visits and other official contacts. The administration denies there was any wrongdoing.

…When Los Angeles officials wanted White House backing for a program that would speed up local transit projects, they turned last spring to a California political operative, Kerman Maddox, a top Obama fund-raiser and party donor.

…Lamell McMorris, a Chicago native and longtime Obama supporter who appears in White House visitor logs 20 times, runs a Washington consulting firm that, as recently as last year, was registered to lobby.

Obama Schedule Proves Once Again He’s Not In Charge…

Perhaps if this were late summer and the campaign was well underway three fundraisers and a stump speech in one day would be seen as somewhat acceptable for a sitting president – but it’s not even May yet and Barack Obama has all but given up even the pretense of looking like a working president.

Today’s presidential schedule shows Barack Obama flying off to Florida shortly after 9:00 a.m. (normally his working day does not start until much later)  By early afternoon he is attending the first of three fundraising events for the day.  He will return back to the White House at 11:45 in the evening.

Obama Schedule || Tuesday, April 10, 2012

 9:10 am || Departs White House

11:45 am || Arrives West Palm Beach, Florida
1:15 pm || Delivers remarks at fundraiser; private residence, Palm Beach Gardens
2:55 pm || Delivers remarks on the economy; Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton

6:00 pm || Delivers remarks at fundraiser; Westin Diplomat Hotel, Hollywood, Florida
8:05 pm || Delivers remarks at fundraiser; private residence, Golden Beach
9:20 pm || Departs Hollywood, Florida

Obama Campaign Treats Own Supporters Like Complete Idiots

HAPPY And BLESSED EASTER to ALL

After Easter Brunch, it’s back to work-
There’s NO Rest for US…

Yesterday the Obama re-election campaign issued a statement to its supporters calling out Mitt Romney for having joined up with the RNC in a move that would allow the Romney campaign to raise considerably the per-donation limit. Problem is – the Obama campaign did the very same thing over a year ago.

A quick word to Obama supporters – almost every single message you receive from the Obama campaign is a lie or at best, a terribly twisted and manipulative version of their truth. No more clear an example of this can be seen than a message sent out to Obama supporters this week from Rufus Gifford, the Obama campaign finance chairman:

Here we go — Romney, the Republican National Committee, and Republican state parties just announced they’ll begin raising money together.

Just like that, Romney’s donors can give $75,800 — a significant boost from the $5,000 max they could give last week.
We’re not going to get a clearer sign that this election is on.

The memo from the Obama campaign would suggest that what Mitt Romney and the RNC is doing is somehow illegitimate, or pushing the acceptable boundaries of campaign fundraising laws. AH – but what Mr. Rufus Gifford neglected to share with all of those Obama supporters is the very same exact program the Obama campaign set up over a year ago – the very same program Barack Obama is now waging complaints against the Romney campaign for utilizing.

President Obama’s reelection team has launched an invigorated effort to draw money from wealthy donors, buttressing the campaign against a potential decline in contributions from the everyday supporters who helped fuel his massive take in 2008.
A new program called Presidential Partners asks supporters to commit $75,800 to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint project of the campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

The truth of the complete hypocrisy of Barack Obama and his re-election campaign is right their in their own words. For nearly a year Barack Obama has been utilizing a joint effort with the DNC to raise the contribution limit to $75,000 – an effort the campaign named “Presidential Partners”. And yet, when Mitt Romney and the RNC are just now announcing they will be utilizing the same exact program as Barack Obama has for the past year, the Obama campaign indicates to its supporters that the Romney campaign is doing something unfair.

And here is perhaps the most pertinent point in all of this – Barack Obama is counting on his supporters being too stupid to care. Just keep sending in those checks folks – don’t pay attention to facts because facts don’t count in the Age of Obama.

Hope -n- Change.

Lies -n- Deception.

Two sides of the same Obama coin…

NBC producer responsible for the misleading edit of the George Zimmerman’s 911 call has been fired.

The producer was reportedly fired Thursday, but the firing did not hit the press until this Friday evening, just before a holiday weekend, in typical cover-up style. Questions remain — and Brian Williams and NBC News must answer them.

The NBC producer responsible for the misleading edit of the George Zimmerman’s 911 call has been fired. The producer was reportedly fired Thursday, but the firing did not hit the press until this Friday evening, just before a holiday weekend. NBC News had no comment on the firing.

There was speculation earlier today that Today show producer Jim Bell might have been the person responsible for the edit, which portrayed Zimmerman as a racist, or having a racial motive in shooting Trayvon Martin. Bell did not respond to a question directed at his Twitter account earlier today.

Brian Stelter of The New York Times credits NewsBusters.org for being the first to catch NBC’s edit. He provides a link to this NewsBusters post dated March 30. However, the NewsBusters story is actually based on, and links back to, a story published here at Breitbart.com two days earlier. In that story, author Dan Riehl highlighted the edit to the Zimmerman 911 tape as it appeared in print at MSNBC. The MSNBC story was originally published March 21st, six days before the same edit was used in the Today show broadcast.

Yesterday, a Reuters story credited both Breitbart.com and NewsBusters for bringing the problem to the attention of NBC executives.

It is likely that, if not for conservative new media, the misleading edit, which inflamed racial tensions in the Martin case, and which was repeated by Stetler’s own New York Times, would have gone unnoticed and uncorrected. As it is, the producer responsible for the edit at Today has been fired, but the individual who made the same edit to the earlier MSNBC story (since corrected) has not been identified or disciplined. Nor has anyone at any other outlet or network — many of which made similar selective editing choices — been punished.

The questions are only just beginning on Editgate. The release of the news of the firing just before the holiday weekend smacks of a cover-up; more than that, we know that the edit itself was not restricted to the Today show. Brian Williams and the brass at NBC News must provide answers. They are responsible for editorial output, not an unnamed producer. And they must be held responsible for an irresponsible and dangerous edit apparently deliberately designed to twist the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman story along racial lines.

Middle East War Alert: Rocket Fired From Egypt Hits Israel

(AP) Rocket hits Israeli city near Egypt border
By TIA GOLDENBERG
Associated Press

JERUSALEM
A rocket fired from Egypt’s Sinai desert hit a southern Israeli resort city early Thursday, police said, raising new concerns about militant activity in the mountainous peninsula. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Sinai was becoming a “terror zone.”

No injuries were reported in the overnight strike against Eilat, a normally tranquil Red Sea vacation spot. Eilat is set to welcome thousands of visitors this weekend for the Passover holiday.

There was no immediately claim of responsibility, but Israel has been warning of growing lawlessness in Sinai following the Egyptian uprising last year that overthrew Hosni Mubarak’s regime. Israeli officials say weak policing and difficult terrain may be turning the peninsula into the latest focus of Islamic militant activity, including al-Qaida, in the region.

“We are seeing now with Eilat that the Sinai Peninsula is turning into a terror zone,” Netanyahu said. “We cannot grant immunity to terror, we must fight against it.”

When asked by Israel Radio if the rocket was launched from the Sinai, Eilat police chief Ron Gertner said “based on our working estimates and the range, yes.”

Egyptian security forces and military aircraft were searching southeastern Sinai for militants believed to be behind the launch, Egyptian security officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

Last year, gunmen from the Sinai sneaked into Israel and ambushed vehicles on a desert highway, killing eight Israelis in a brazen, coordinated attack.

Israel accused Palestinian militants from Gaza of crossing westward into Sinai, making their way along the Israel-Egypt border and crossing back eastward into Israel to carry out the attack.

That incident suggested that Egypt’s political upheaval and the resulting power vacuum was allowing Gaza militants with allies in Sinai to open a new front against Israel on its long-quiet frontier with Egypt.

Palestinian militants regularly fire rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel, but launches from Egyptian territory are rare.

Thursday’s launch appeared to be the first cross-border rocket attack from Egypt since Mubarak’s fall. Rockets last hit Eilat and the nearby Jordanian town of Aqaba in 2010, killing one person and wounding four.

In a bid to keep out militants and illegal migrants, Israel has stepped up surveillance on the Egyptian border and is building an electronic barrier along the 230 kilometer (150 mile) frontier. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Netanyahu acknowledged the fence “does not stop rockets,” but promised “a solution will be found” to rockets from Egypt.

Israel has been battling rocket fire from Gaza with a short-range rocket interceptor, the Iron Dome. It was not immediately clear if there were plans to position a mechanism near the Egyptian border.

Most militant attacks in Sinai target Egyptian government targets, including police facilities and a natural gas pipeline that supplies Israel and Jordan. Islamic radicals who fled Egyptian prisons during the chaos surrounding last year’s revolution sought asylum in Sinai, joining forces with disgruntled tribes and militant groups that already had built strongholds there.

Egypt became the first Arab nation to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, but with the rise of Islamist parties who traditionally view Israel with hostility, Israel has become concerned that the accord may be under threat.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the largest party in Egypt’s parliament, does not openly oppose the peace deal with Israel, but has said it would consider amending the pact to allow more Egyptian troops along the border with Israel. The deployment of Egyptian forces in the Sinai is limited under the 1979 deal.

UPDATE: Obama Declares War on Supreme Court

Today, President Obama effectively declared war on the Supreme Court. Speaking from the Rose Garden, he suggested that the “unelected” Supreme Court must avoid the “extraordinary … unprecedented” measure of striking down his unconstitutional Obamacare regime:

Ultimately, I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress …

This is not the first time Obama has threatened the Supreme Court. Back in January 2010, in his State of the Union Address, he dramatically misrepresented the Supreme Court’s stance on campaign finance, and explained, “Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections.” Justice Alito shook his head and mouthed, “Not true.” That’s because it wasn’t true – but Obama’s interpretation of Constitutional law is lacking at best, deeply dishonest at worst.

Obama is now tackling a strategy stated by Rep. Jim Clyburn this morning – he’s going after the Supreme Court as his bête noire, knowing they cannot respond. But he’s bound to fail for a simple reason: the American public understands that the law is unconstitutional. Obama is no FDR, and nobody is interested in packing the courts to raise their taxes and devastate the economic future of the country.

Unfortunately for Obama, he also made the tactical misstep of explaining why if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional, the entire law should be struck down:

I think the justices should understand, in the absence of an individual mandate, you cannot have a mechanism to ensure that people with pre-existing conditions can actually have health care.

In other words, the individual mandate lies at the heart of Obamacare; without that beating heart, the rest of the law becomes unworkable.

In the end, Obama was left to argue that there is a “human element” to the law that would require the justices to rule in its favor. He’s calling on them to use his famed empathy standard in dealing with the constitutionality of laws. Unfortunately, it seems that at least five justices understand there’s no jurisdiction over empathy for the third branch.

APPEALS COURT TELLS BARACK OBAMA

– PUT UP OR SHUT UP

Following President Barack Obama’s oddly veiled and dictatorial threat against the United States Supreme Court, a federal appeals court is demanding the Obama Department of Justice answer a request over whether or not the Obama administration has even the most basic understanding of American government and judiciary review.

From a just released CBS New report:

…The order, by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, appears to be in direct response to the president’s comments yesterday about the Supreme Court’s review of the health care law. Mr. Obama all but threw down the gauntlet with the justices, saying he was “confident” the Court would not “take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”

Overturning a law of course would not be unprecedented — since the Supreme Court since 1803 has asserted the power to strike down laws it interprets as unconstitutional. The three-judge appellate court appears to be asking the administration to admit that basic premise — despite the president’s remarks that implied the contrary.

…Smith then became “very stern,” the source said, telling the lawyers arguing the case it was not clear to “many of us” whether the president believes such a right exists.

It would appear Barack Obama’s much heralded 2008 description of being a “Constitutional scholar” is facing a rather strong challenge from those who have actually read the Constitution – a reading that it seems Obama never quite made time for before or since becoming President of the United States.

GAME ON.

Wisconsin Teachers’ Unions Trained Well-Funded Alinsky Group

Breitbart.com has learned that teachers in Wisconsin have been attending routine training workshops with the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), a radical organization founded by Saul Alinsky in 1940.

In a video produced by the MacIver Institute, organizers are seen arriving at a March 17 training session with the Wisconsin Education Association Council, Wisconsin’s state teachers union.

Teachers’ unions led last year’s protests in Wisconsin against collective bargaining reforms, and are now heavily involved in the effort to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker. In addition to Alinskyite groups, the recall effort has attracted the support of radicals such as unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

In a little-known speech to Wisconsin teachers last September, Ayers spoke of the need for “a new kind of education for a new kind of citizens that can make a new kind of society” (part 1 is here; part 2 is here).

The training tactics of the IAF were detailed in a 1994 book by Jim Rooney called Organizing the South Bronx, which was praised by Ayers as on the back cover as “an outstanding book.”

The book details the IAF’s tactics as follows:

“IAF leaders are brazenly explicit about their appetite for power.” (p. 222)

“There is no nice way to bring about change. All change comes through pressure and threats.” (p. 226)

“Increase militancy by polarizing the situation, by identifying the enemy and by developing the situation in terms of good guys and bad guys.” (p. 89)

“It is absolutely essential to select a ripe target [a person] and build animosity toward him or her.” (p. 228)

While Alinsky only lived until 1972, IAF has continued to function. The organization boasts: “The living reality of the IAF is overwhelmingly present in the 59 IAF affiliates functioning in 21 states, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia.”

In the video from the MacIver Institute, the first person who approaches the camera is Michael Gecan, an IAF trainer who earns an annual salary of $117,500 plus benefits of $29,375 as of 2008, according to public filings.

According to the Open Society Foundations, Gecan currently oversees IAF organizations in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and in the Cook, Lake, and DuPage counties in Illinois.

The man in the car who adopts a confrontational approach is Ted Kraig, a Uniserve Director for WEAC, whose salary exceeds $100,000.

Kraig also accused the MacIver reporter of seeing teachers’ unions as “the wealthy and powerful in this country.” Osmulski could have pointed out that the average Milwaukee public school teacher’s salary exceeds $100,000.

According to a job posting by Dane County United, an affiliate with the IAF, a significant goal for the Wisconsin teachers’ unions is the recall of Gov. Walker.

As the Wisconsin recall approaches on June 5, we are likely to see some of Alinsky’s tactics used by the teachers’ unions and other leftwing groups determined to reverse his reforms and the democratic will of the people of Wisconsin.

SCARED YET?

“The thing the most bone chilling thing Bill Ayers said to me was that after the revolution succeeded and the government was overthrown, they believed they would have to eliminate 25 million Americans who would not conform to the new order,” said Larry Grathwohl, a former FBI agent.

Watch Video here:

Ayers’ speech interrupted by protesters

MORAGA, CA (KGO) — A controversial man, who became a political liability for Barack Obama during the campaign, was in the Bay Area on Wednesday night. The 1960’s and 1970’s radical and current college professor Bill Ayers spoke at St. Mary’s College in Moraga. However, he was met with a large group of conservative protestors.

Bill Ayers, the former leader of the radical group The Weather Underground was interrupted several times. He quoted Dr. Martin Luther King and lectured on ethics and democracy, while a crowd outside called him a terrorist for his anti war activities.

“We will hound Bill Ayers to the gates of hell,” said Melanie Morgan, from Move America Forward.

Ayers was charged with conspiracy to destroy government buildings, including the San Francisco park police station, in 1970, where a bomb killed a police sergeant.

“I think he’s a loathsome despicable gutter crawling rat,” said James Pera, a former San Francisco Police Officer.

The charges against Ayers were dropped because of illegal FBI surveillance.

“Now that’s being blown into dishonest narratives about hurting people, killing people, planning to kill people. That’s just not true. We destroyed government property,” said Ayers.
“Did you make bombs?” asked ABC7 reporter Alan Wang.
“I’m just not going to talk about it,” said Ayers.

Larry Grathwohl, an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated The Weather Underground, claims Ayers told him where to plant bombs. He says Ayers was bent on overthrowing the government. (This article was published in January of 08’… that was the plan until they decided to make the takeover from within..)

“The thing the most bone chilling thing Bill Ayers said to me was that after the revolution succeeded and the government was overthrown, they believed they would have to eliminate 25 million Americans who would not conform to the new order,” said Larry Grathwohl, a former FBI agent.

What do you get when you see Holder, Obama, Jackson, Lee and Sharpton together? Racial Beatdown in South Carolina… for openers

Police in Seneca, South Carolina have arrested six men for beating another man at an Applebee’s on March 17. According to the police, the alleged perpetrators may have attacked the victim based on racial motivations. The FBI has been notified to determine whether this was a hate crime.

As Fox Carolina reports, “The suspects are Teryn Robinson, 18, Tray Holland, 19, Justin Alexander, 20, Derick Williams, 22, Kino Jones, 25, and Montrez Jones, 22.”

Thus far, media attention has been minimal. Were the situation reversed in terms of race, there is little doubt that the media attention would be significantly more intense.

Thanks for the great comment, Bob Miller:

I’m sure we are all waiting with breathless anticipation for Maxine Waters to
step up to the micrpohone and demand that these thugs be charged with a hate
crime. I’m sure that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are hurriedly throwing
clothes into a suitcase and making transportation arrangements to rush to South
Carolina and demand justice for this poor white man. I can almost hear the New
(but same as the old) Black Panther Party announcing the establishment of a
bounty for the arrest of the perpetrators of this heinous crime against an
innocent citizen.

And just outside my window, unicorns are grazing on my crop of cotton candy balls and pigs are doing touch and goes on my driveway.

Obama Snubbed Families of Brits Murdered in U.S.

In April 2011, African-American teenager Shawn Tyson killed two young British men, James Cooper and James Kouzaris. Tyson reportedly murdered them as they “begged for their lives.”

Two close friends of the victims, Paul Davies and Joe Hallett, talked about the lack of response from the Obama administration on behalf of the parents of the victims. The father of one of the victims apparently wrote President Obama on three separate occasions – to no response. “We would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction at the lack of any public or private message of support or condolence from any American governing body or indeed, President Obama himself,” said Davies. “It would perhaps appear that Mr. Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.”

Were the victims’ races swapped, would President Obama have been so silent?

(Please bear in mind that at the time this crime was committed, Mr. Tyson was the same age as Trayvon Martin who is now being portrayed as a defenseless child.)

This video taken early Friday evening at a WallMart in Houston.
Looks like they were casing the store mayhap for a mob takeover tomorrow am.

Obama Election Team Preparing For “Healthcare Warfare” Campaign

A brief heads up from a longtime D.C. political operative indicates “serious” discussions among high ranking members of Barack Obama’s re-election team on how to handle a possible Supreme Court ruling against Obamacare – discussions that include a “Healthcare Warfare” operation that will purposely create widespread chaos throughout the American healthcare industry – putting you and your loved ones at risk.

First few days of SC going well for us. Yesterday rocked them back. Today not as explosive but real panic setting in among the Obama people. Discussion last night with -Name Deleted – told me his contact at -Deleted- indicated administration is already putting up warnings regarding summer chaos plan if SC decision goes against them. Called it a “Healthcare Warfare” plan. Muck up the administrative machine so badly there will be delays, confusion, and then anger. They are serious about it.

Obama will then point to the chaos and make an “I told you so” move to the American people. They plan to have him run against Congress, run against the SC, run against alleged racism, run against Wall Street. He is running for nothing and against everything.

Wanted to let you know on the Healthcare Warfare thing. Help get the word out. Tell others to watch for signs of it unfolding if it looks like the SC is going to rule against Obamacare. Right now the mandate is about 80% gone. The rest of Obamacare is about 50/50 according to -Name Deleted- and he sat in on the pharma meetings with the administration so likely solid judgement on this.

Ulsterman, you are the BEST!

Obama Makes His Move To Raise Your Electricity Rates

With gas prices now nearing or in some locations already above $4 a gallon, the Obama administration is now taking aggressive measures that, according to industry experts, will result in rapidly rising electric rates for American consumers.

From a just published Wall Street Journal report:

The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed strict limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from new power plants despite warnings from utilities and others that such a step to would lead to the demise of coal-fired electricity generation.

…The utility industry has fought hard against the rules, arguing that if new coal plants are effectively banned, the industry will be forced to forswear a cheap and plentiful source of electricity generation. The unveiling of the rules is also likely to draw fire from Republicans and business groups.

Currently nearly half the nation’s electricy production is generated by coal.

No-one can say Barack Obama didn’t warn us though:

America doesn’t have a racial problem – America has an Obama problem…

A brief interview via email with our longtime D.C. Insider. I wish to express my gratitude for Insider’s willingness to take the time to respond as I understand they are incredibly busy of late.

UM: Not certain if you have information on the death of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart but it was requested by many readers that I ask you regardless.

Insider: No.

UM: Please update on the progress of the Fast and Furious investigation – primarily the status of Attorney General Eric Holder’s job security.

Insider: We continue to be assured the ducks are being lined up to remove Holder. Just like you I am hopeful but also hoping I’m not being lied to on this. Nothing I have heard yet indicates I should be worried. But I still worry. Part of the job I guess. It was decided some months ago to push the issue out closer to the election. Not by me. I don’t have that kind of power of course. I was told by parties with access to those who do have that kind of power. I assume you noted the promotion of Mr. West? As I said, there is positioning going on with the AG office “just in case”. And I also assume you noted the testing of the waters for the Cali AG for Supreme Court? If not you need to be up to speed. It all ties in with what I shared with you already. If Obama gets his second term and the Democrats keep the Senate, a whole lot of the agenda is gonna fall in place. Very bad. Probably worse than any of us even realize.

UM: Are you willing to comment on the Arpaio investigation? The allegations of a forged birth certificate and selective service and social security?

Insider: We are all aware of it. Media blackout of course, but lots of chatter. Be cautious though. Still questions regarding if legitimate or not. Could be. Certainly possible. There is something there on that subject I just don’t know what it is. And I have looked into it. Nobody inside wants to speak of it. ??? Haven’t pushed it for a while. Will poke around it again and see if anyone is willing to talk. I am focused on the election though. Can’t waste too much time trying to run that thing down. Sorry. But if I hear something I will pass it along.

Watch for any information on the Supreme Court Obamacare case though. Starts soon and then a decision should drop by early summer. Could alter the entire landscape of the campaign. For better or worse. More ulcers on the way for me.

UM: I am getting multiple reports of Obama fundraising concerns. -Name Deleted- involved?

Insider: Yes. And proving extremely effective. Even got word on pressure mounting against Bernanke as well. Wants rate hike sooner vs later. Don’t understand the logistics of why but apparently involves at least one of the board members. He really does dislike Bernanke. Not sure the history of that he gets the old man riled up and he really doesn’t rile easily. You know that.

Somewhat related to that even though you didn’t ask is information on the Israel situation. Gas prices. The Obama people have come up with what they call a “win-win” scenario. If prices continue to go up blame Israel even if no bombing of Iran nuclear plants takes place. Blame Israel for contributing to unrest. If Israel does act, then give verbal support while also blaming both Israel and Iran for gas prices going up. And blame the oil companies of course. So regardless of Iran being bombed or not, Israel and the Middle East unrest is to blame for the gas prices. Not Obama. Never Obama.

Not saying what they have come up with is a good plan politically. It does show panic over the gas price issue. Real genuine panic. That’s good. Now we got to get the Republican leadership on point with the message. They are terrible at it. Very splintered and that worries me. Multiple directions and no clear message. You really have no idea how bad they are at this. Scary bad. Constant reminder of why I never wanted to be a Republican. If this is their best and brightest then God help us all.

UM: Will Romney get the nomination and if so are you satisfied with that outcome?

Insider: Yes on the first and I hope so on the second. His campaign team has been a bit off lately. They need to get their game on and be ready for Obama. Like I told you many times before. It’s going to be brutal. Did you notice the Florida shooting? The story of the Black teenager? How the media has been on that 24/7 and trying so hard to convince people America has this terrible racial problem? Bullsh-t. America has an Obama problem right now. That’s its biggest problem. And of course Occupy is coming back. The convention is going to be a mess. That’s what they want.

UM: Can you comment on what we discussed briefly regarding another planned event by the Obama operatives? The real one this time? Not the practice run that you described the other event as being? The one you correctly warned was coming?

Insider: No. That topic is not a good idea at this time. It will be summer. Before the Democratic convention. That is all I know for certain at this time and I am not comfortable even sharing that with you. Sorry. I don’t think you should include this. Too little information I can share. Not productive. Your call though.

UM: The conflict between the military and the Obama administration that you spoke of last year is really playing out now. How bad do you think it will get?

Insider: It already is very bad. Most of what is going on is being contained in-house but I have a source. Retired. 30 odd years. Has a ton of contacts still active. They are indicating things are not good. Actually glad you asked this question. Forgot about something they had told me about a month ago. Some strange things being passed around tied in w/military operations. Domestic. At home. That has people upset. Rank and file conflicts. Now this is not the first time I”ve been told similar things. Goes as far back as maybe 20 yrs ago. But then it would get quiet. This time it’s not getting quiet. Tinfoil hat stuff but this guy don’t talk sh-t. They are the real deal. So I’ve been keeping my ear to the ground on that and suggest you do the same. Was going to ask -name deleted- about it but haven’t yet. If you talk to them first bring it up. Might be what got him so pissed off against the administration? Just guessing but maybe? That and the Israeli situation. Or more? Don’t know.

UM: Give me odds of Eric Holder stepping down from the DOJ before the end of summer.

Insider: 70% Holder is gone by then. But so much depends on the Republicans. Too much. But like I said, nothing I have seen tells me that it isn’t moving in the direction we want it to. It’s just been slow. As in kicking my ass slow. But you know that.

UM: Odds of Obama losing re-election in November?

Insider: Right now it’s 50/50. By the time we’re done hoping to have him down to about a 180-200 electoral vote margin. No joke. That’s my goal and I’m burning the candle at both ends to make it happen. Writing my own checks on this thing too. Might bankrupt me in the end so buy the book so I don’t end up on the street.

Kidding. Almost.

UM: You decide what to end on.

Insider: Got a little insider story for you. Told you Obama was way over confident. As in head up the ass over confident. It’s freaking people out. His staff is worried about gas prices and the Middle East and the poll #s, which like I told you, are actually a lot lower than the published #s. By almost ten points. Huge difference. But Obama has been on the road so much he believes his own applause. He is waiving off the concern. The guy loves the crowds. Maybe its more than just that? Don’t know. It’s weird though. Get him for a couple days at the White House and he turns pissy. Snarly was the actual term told to me. Snarly. “Get me out of here”. That is what he tells them. So off he goes flying here and there. This crowd to that crowd. Loves it. The First Lady same thing. The two have not been under the same roof for more than a few days at a time in months now. I’m starting to think the only reason he’s running for re-election is to be able to run for re-election. The actual job he cares even less about than we thought. He likes the agenda falling in place but he hates the job. Hates the White House. Hates America.

Too much there at the end? No. That’s the truth.

I won’t be available for at least a week. Will try to schedule a face to face after that. Will be in touch.

BRILLIANT idea, Ulsterman, taking Q&A from posters- thanks for sharing…

Marines Openly Voicing Anti-Obama Sentiment (INSIDER-RELATED)

OH MY…

” I didn’t swear loyalty to the president…”

Has there ever been such open hostility by American soldiers directed at their Commander in Chief?

The Marine Corps Times previews its cover story about anti-Obama Marines at their ‘Battle Rattle’ blog.

“More anti-Obama talk is being heard in the workplace and new Military Times poll data shows declining approval among military service members for the president’s job as commander in chief,” the blog reports.

Got so excited reading this news almost forgot to thank you Ulsterman for finding it and getting the news out there..

Obama’s Pastor calls on Muslims to retake Jerusalem…

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was US President Barack Obama’s pastor for 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side, has endorsed the “March on Jerusalem.”

The Doha conference was a two-day long effort to demonize Israel and deny Judaism’s more than three thousand year connection to Jerusalem.

Both events are designed to reverse what their organizers call the Judaization of “occupied Jerusalem.”

The White House has refused to comment on Wright’s decision to endorse the March on Jerusalem, or the presence of state department consultants at the so-called Doha Conference.

The National Conference of Jewish Affairs said “That the President’s long-time pastor and “spiritual leader” is now endorsing the Global March to Jerusalem, without a reaction from the White House, underscores President Obama’s failure to recognize the unalterable significance of Judaism’s multi-millennial connection to Jerusalem, which is the capital of the Jewish State, Israel.”

Wright, of “God Damn America” notoriety, has also asserted on ABC news that the U.S. brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own “terrorism.”

He has also made openly anti-Semitic statements saying Jews have robbed him of his influence over Obama, “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office.”

“[T]he Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote, that’s controlling him,” Wright also has also claimed.

The Global March to Jerusalem, slated for March 30th, follows on the heels of the anti-Israel, anti-

Semitic Doha Conference on the Defense of ‘Occupied’ Jerusalem.”

Obama – who adamantly denied hearing any offensive statements from Wright during his 20 years in his flock despite being shown numerous video clips of them – has sought to defend Wright in the past.

“It’s as if we took the five dumbest things that I’ve ever said or you’ve ever said in our lives and compressed them and put them out there — I think that people’s reaction would, understandably, be upset.”

Leon Panetta Must Resign – NOW.

Does Barack Obama’s Defense Secretary Leon Panetta hold so little trust toward the American military that he would require them to make themselves defenseless inside a war zone when in his presence? Sadly – YES.

I admit to being a bit conflicted on this subject. It was Leon Panetta, and not Barack Obama, who truly initiated the killing of Osama Bin Laden – at least according to an Insider source who has proven accurate time and time again. (LINK) In fact President Obama, under the always-present guidance of senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, was once again dragging his feet on making any kind of decision – a scenario later detailed in part by the British press, but predictably ignored by American media.

The most damning evidence of an out-of-the-loop Barack Obama during the Bin Laden operation is the now-infamous situation room photo released AFTER Insider’s initial account that gives undeniable proof that the president was in fact taken off of the golf course and brought to the White House AFTER the Bin Laden raid was already underway. According to Insider – this was no accident. Leon Panetta coordinated the operation, kept the president and Jarrett insulated from that information, and then following its initiation, delivered a script for Barack Obama to follow that would allow him to take the credit for the operation’s successful conclusion – which, once that successful conclusion was determined – President Obama was only too happy to do.

Since that time though – Panetta’s position within the Obama administration has changed, going from CIA Director to Secretary of Defense shortly after the Osama Bin Laden killing. His tenure at Defense has been marked by a mixture of both open support and condemnation of Barack Obama’s continued attack against the American military. Initially warning against the extreme defense cuts the president wishes to initiate so as to spend that money on entitlement programs (a process surely initiated by Valerie Jarrett herself), the 73-year old Panetta’s warnings soon diminished and he has become a somewhat unwilling advocate of those same cuts – reductions by the way that include passing on increased healthcare costs to already underpaid American soldiers.

This past week though, when the Secretary of Defense made a trip to Afghanistan – a conflict that has descended into outright chaos under the failed leadership of Barack Obama, and demanded U.S. soldiers disarm in order to be in the presence of Panetta…I was quite literally left stunned. To have a Secretary of Defense – the second highest ranking civilian leader of the Armed Forces, require the very soldiers sworn to protect the United States…to have them left defenseless inside a war zone certainly speaks to the increasing mistrust between the Obama administration and the U.S. military.

Are you aware the number of American military casualties the first year of the Afghanistan conflict during the Bush administration? That number is 12.

Are you also aware of the number of American military casualties in Afghanistan after Barack Obama became president? That number is 317.

During the eight years the Bush administration oversaw the war in Afghanistan, 630 of this nation’s best gave their lives.

In the just over three years of the Obama administration overseeing military operations in Afghanistan, that number is nearly 1300 deaths.

In less than half the time, more than double the number of American military casualties in Afghanistan since Barack Obama became president.

And what of this sacrifice? How are these bravest of our American men and women treated when visited by the current Secretary of Defense? There exists so little trust between them and the Obama administration that they are required to disarm in his presence.

Obama Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta must resign -NOW.

Are Our Troops Being Set-Up?

America the beautiful
March 17, 2012

Panetta had a vehicle blow up on the Tarmac after landing….so in a completely illogical fashion — a man who feels threatened and feels he may be under attack– has his men disarm— in a war zone– he has our military disarm. Think about that.

Consider Richard Holbrooke and his last words after taking ill in Hillary Clinton’s office….in the hospital, his last words as he grabbed a doc….were ….”get our military out of Afganistan “..and then he died.
They said he has an anortic tear. Thought that was instantaneous …not almost two days later…

Consider…our military is being set up.

Why release information of the burned Korans ???…. To crazy savages…to an obviously untrustworthy alliance with that puke, Karzai…who is damn well aware you’re leaving in August ….and, you’re leaving him to the Taliban….
One can only imagine the release of the information of burning Korans ….was to foment violence

How many more soldiers will they let be picked off, have to watch their buddies legs being blown off, give them that gd yellow purple heart for restraint…after their fourth deployment …before they crack…ten years of this shit with extended deployments…These are our gd children, our fellow Americans….

Well maybe our military thinks their being set up too.

So whether it was wrong to have our military disarm…It was damn well insane if you believe you’re under attack…Panetta showed hand…..making confirmation to what our military men and women already suspected …..

The military was now on to his treasonous gig…

Who will stand with them…Where are our generals…Are there any patriots left in the High Command…did Obama retire anyone not worthy of treason…Where are you guys? Where!

There must, Must! be more we can do to stop these traitorous pieces of shit.

And who the hell released the soldiers name that killed the villagers??? You tell me…How does that happen?
Hope his daughters and wife are under, deep security.

And all I can see is my President…working…on his brackets…sitting at a basketball game…enjoying himself …again.

Obama declares himself Dictator…. with OUR Flag…

AMERICANS and VETERANS Aghast at the AUDACITY of OBAMA!

At issue was an American flag defaced with the image of Barack Obama, while flying above a Florida county’s Democratic headquarters. The practice is in violation of Florida state law, as well as the federal flag code. Hurlbert would not even agree to not flying the flag in the future.

“It’s absolutely disrespectful,” Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion told FoxNews.com. “It’s totally ridiculous. To put somebody’s picture there, to me, it’s a disgrace to do that.”

Bradford, an organizer with the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, Fla., snapped photos of the flag and distributed them to fellow veterans and friends. By late afternoon, he and several other veterans delivered a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hurlbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party.

At link is the pertinent statute, quoted below. Here is the Flag Code, as updated last on April 14, 2008.

Jenn Meale, communications director for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, referred FoxNews.com to state laws that pertain to the use of flags on public lands and property when asked for clarification as to whether Hurlbert could face any penalties.

Statute 256.05, which covers improper use of state or United States flag, or other symbol of authority, reads: “No person shall, in any manner, for exhibition or display:

“(1) Place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing or advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, color, ensign or shield of the United States or of this state, or authorized by any law of the United States or this state; or “

(2) Expose to public view any such flag, standard, color, ensign or shield upon which shall have been printed, painted or otherwise produced, or to which shall have been attached, appended, affixed or annexed any such word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing or advertisement.”

Democratic County Chairwoman Nancy Hurlbert seems to have taken playing the race card to a whole new level.
