LIARS THIEVES AND SCIENTISTS

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 7:01 PM

What is science? The method by which man tries to conceal his ignorance. It should not be so, but so it is. -Charles Hadden Spurgeon
The Climate Gate e-mails are shaking up the world of climate “science” and, once and for all, placing the Global Warming Cabal in the category of political extortionists. Unfortunately, scientists themselves are going to find that betraying the public’s trust will have huge consequences as their profession, just as with educators, media and the government, is labeled as an ideological hive of liars and thieves that will deliver whatever “science” their benefactors demand.
Either computer hackers or a whistle-blower obtained 160 megabytes of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in England. Those e-mails involved communication among and between many scientific researchers and policy advocates with similar ideological positions all across the world. They were openly and unashamedly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that failed to support the position of man-made global-warming.
For those of us who have known and stated that man-made global warming is a hoax, this is merely a look behind the curtain of a criminal enterprise to extract trillions of dollars from the wealthy western industrialized countries under the guise of a “climate debt” that is supposedly owed to the rest of the world. To the socialist democrat, western society always owes a debt to somebody for some wrong we capitalists have arrogantly committed in the pursuit of free enterprise. Fortunately the United Nations stands ready to redistribute this ill-gotten booty to its rightful owners…themselves.
Right after the second world war a scheme was concocted to collect a fabricated debt that the imperialist West theoretically owed to its’ former colonies for exploiting local resources for their own gain. The only problem with that scheme was that the greatest repository of wealth happened to be the United States, which itself is a former colony. It turned out to be difficult to make the richest country in the world feel its’ proper share of “social guilt” since it rose from the same conditions as the so called “exploited colonies” to become the nation that just rescued the entire world from the jaws of fascism. Unable to guilt us out of our money, they had to come up with a new scheme.
Next, they decided that the West’s trading practices unfairly victimized poorer countries. We owed a debt to these countries for the human rights violations being perpetrated against their citizens in manufacturing sweat shops that produce cheap products for western consumption. Of course, with well paying manufacturing jobs vacating the United States and the West for places like China, India and Indonesia, the ole’ guilt factor once again failed to materialize.
So the arbiters of social justice had to brew another extortionist scheme to siphon money from the West. I know, there’s a population explosion going on and the world is heading for a new Ice age. The lowering temperatures will reduce the amount of available farmland so there will be no way to feed everyone. The rich nations of the west will have to pay all the geniuses in the world to fix the problem. It’s perfect…almost. Yea, you know what happened next. It sure looked like the world was cooling down in 1975 but the world started warming up. Social justice foiled again.
As always, the teen-aged minds that make up liberalism, offended by free people and unwilling to leave them alone, simply adapted a new strategy. It was all too obvious. The world is getting warmer, so consequently that must be the fault of…you know it…the industrialized West. The bastards! We gotta make them pay the debt they owe to the world. As always, the United Nations is there to encourage and nurture social justice.
This time the scheme involved the idea that industrial emissions, i.e. carbon dioxide, are trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere and, as a result, the cumulative effect of warm temperatures is building to a crescendo of certain global ecological disaster. All sorts of Playstations, (scientists would have us believe they used computers) were programmed to project worldwide temperatures into the future and, of course, they provided the results they were programmed to provide. Ahh, science…you gotta love it. Of course the oceans just wont co-operate as they seem to have risen exactly…not at all! And of course the polar ice caps remain. Polar bears, we were told, would be doomed by global warming yet their numbers have increased five fold during the warm-up. It seems that for every global warming lie, there is a corresponding “inconvenient truth” to counter it.
Not the least of these truths is, of course, the fact that the earth has not warmed any further since 1998. In fact, it has actually significantly cooled. Ten years of stagnation, even as our industrialized carbon emissions increased, was not part of the projections. It’s a shame that the earth can’t be programmed the same way as their global warming Playstations. What to do? Well, change the name of the scheme of course! Now, instead of “global warming,” they call it “climate change.” This way they can claim EVERY weather variation to be the fault of man-made emissions! Aren’t the godless a funny lot?
Worse still, is the intrusion of “actual” science into the world of the climate change alarmists. Richard Lindzen of MIT, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Planetary and Atmospheric Sciences, has released a devastating study on climate feedbacks. Unlike the computer projections of climate change alarmists, Lindzen’s study actually has real and testable data that measures the escape of outgoing radiation into space.
“We now know that the effect of CO2 on temperature is small, we know why it is small, and we know that it is having very little effect on the climate.”
The global surface temperature record, which we update and publish every month, has shown no statistically-significant “global warming” for almost 15 years. Statistically-significant global cooling has now persisted for very nearly eight years. Even a strong el Nino – expected in the coming months – will be unlikely to reverse the cooling trend.
More significantly, the ARGO bathythermographs deployed throughout the world’s oceans since 2003 show that the top 400 fathoms of the oceans, where it is agreed between all parties that at least 80% of all heat caused by manmade “global warming” must accumulate, have been cooling over the past six years. That now prolonged ocean cooling is fatal to the “official” theory that “global warming” will happen on anything other than a minute scale. - SPPI Monthly CO2 Report: July 2009
Gee, he even talks like a real scientist, doesn’t he? Al Gore and his fellow criminals claim that such radiation becomes trapped within the earth’s atmosphere, leading to precipitous and disastrous warming. Yet Lindzen’s study finds exactly the opposite! Heat radiation has continued escaping out into space at rates that would seem, finally, to put an end the global warming scare. Results indicate, in fact, that the effects of CO2 on temperature over the course of the next century will remain well below 2°degrees Fahrenheit, possibly as low as 1°degree F. These projections amount to less than one sixth of what the United Nations claims and are, quite simply, negligible. This is the dagger through the heart that should put this hoax to death.
For years we have been told that there is a scientific “consensus” on man-made global warming and that the debate about it is over. In fact, there never was a debate about it. This was always a conclusion in search of evidence. Nothing more than the latest grand scheme to extract money from western industrial countries and redistribute it to the United Nations so they can socially engineer the centralized world government of their dreams. To do this, THEY have exploited the poor and underdeveloped nations of the world. In the process they have lied, manipulated and destroyed data, and harassed the careers of scientists that refused to follow their agenda. This is perhaps the single biggest crime ever perpetrated against mankind. The e-mails recently uncovered in the Climate Gate scandal reveal the magnitude of the conspiracy.
The manipulation of evidence:
“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
Doubts about whether the world is actually heating up:
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.”
Suppression of evidence:
“Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis. Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address. We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.”
Attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP):
“…Phil and I have recently submitted a paper using about a dozen NH records that fit this category, and many of which are available nearly 2K back–I think that trying to adopt a timeframe of 2K, rather than the usual 1K, addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to “contain” the putative “MWP”, even if we don’t yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back…”
The least surprising excerpts refer to the excoriating and dismissing of dissenters, and their plans to keep them from publishing in reputable journals. It’s not surprising because these types of accusations are commonplace in academia, and given the political nature of the climate change debate and the federal money at stake, it was only a matter of time before scientists succumbed to the temptation and persuasion of delivering the science that the sources of their revenue demanded. To do this they had to create a scientific climate in which anyone who disagrees with man-made global warming would be written off as simply a denier, whose views are dismissed as having no professional relevance. To keep skeptics from publishing in a peer-review journal…they simply take over the journal:
“So what do we do about this? I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?” “I will be emailing the journal to tell them I’m having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor.”“It results from this journal having a number of editors. The responsible one for this is a well-known skeptic in NZ. He has let a few papers through by Michaels and Gray in the past. I’ve had words with Hans von Storch about this, but got nowhere. Another thing to discuss in Nice !”
Does this sound familiar? Saul Alinsky would be proud. How many of you would have thought the scientific community would be made up of thugs and bullies? But alas, like the educational system and the media before them, they have given up their professional pursuits in favor of ideological purity. In this case, an allegiance to the social engineering of a New World Order. In such a world such outmoded concepts as “truth” and “freedom” are replaced with the godless fantasies of teenage wisdom. But it still gets better as this newly reported revelation shows:
Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation. The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building. The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data. -Times Online
Convenient how the original, unprocessed data that their projections are derived from is destroyed isn’t it? That any responsible government official would consider the economy strangling restrictions being proposed as a response to global warming with such criminally deficient science is childish on a Biblical scale! Scientists who value their profession and their reputations should demand full congressional investigations. The scientists who cast their lot with this congregation of thieves should be made to do a “perp walk” before the entire world.
President Obama is reacting to the e-mail scandal as expected. He is ignoring it. He has changed his plans and now intends to go to Copenhagen with a list of proposals and commitments. He is desperate for a cap and trade agreement and is in way too deep to give up just because of this scandal. General Electric is demanding a return on their investment in his election, and Obama is obliged to comply. He is bought and paid for. Like Nixon in the early stages of Watergate, he is doubling down on his commitment to this scheme to submit the United States to the control of restrictive United Nations emission mandates. He still has the loyalty of the American media, who is doing its’ part to keep news of the e-mail scandal off the front pages of newspapers.
On the positive side, however, Penn State University is investigating one of its professors who is a leading proponent of man-made global warming and whose name is all over these e-mails:
Professor Michael Mann is a highly regarded member of the Penn State faculty conducting research on climate change. Professor Mann’s research papers have been published in well respected peer-reviewed scientific journals. In November 2005, Representative Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) requested that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) convene a panel of independent experts to investigate Professor Mann’s seminal 1999 reconstruction of the global surface temperature over the past 1,000 years. The resulting 2006 report of the NAS panel concluded that Mann’s results were sound and has been subsequently supported by an array of evidence that includes additional large-scale surface temperature reconstructions.

In recent days a lengthy file of emails has been made public. Some of the questions raised through those emails may have been addressed already by the NAS investigation but others may not have been considered. The University is looking into this matter further, following a well defined policy used in such cases. No public discussion of the matter will occur while the University is reviewing the concerns that have been raised.

Perhaps there is hope that this information will find its way out. It certainly is destroying the credibility of global warming proponents throughout the rest of the world where this is front page news. President Obama’s own Science Czar, John Holdren, is prominently featured in the scandalous e-mails. How long can the press keep a lid on this? What we are talking about here is the small group of scientists who have, for years, been the most influential in driving world-wide alarm over global warming, not least through the role they play at the heart of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The scientific establishment has been irreparably compromised.

We now see everything coming into the open, the hidden hidden and subtle things are in full, grotesque, view. The revealed lies of the global warming alarmists are no different from the revealed lies of evolution. The scientific community was willing to whore itself out to a political ideology in return for professional enhancement and government funding. Just as the lie of evolution was a stealth destroyer of our educational system, so also is the global warming scheme designed to capitalize on our mis-educated children’s faith in a false science. We can only hope that everyone doesn’t prove to be as stupid as their programming intended.
Science is not about consensus or diabolical political maneuvering. It’s about data and the ability to reproduce results with that data. Socialists, Democrats and other assorted liberals would have you believe that they are strong proponents of science. The global warming fraud is proof that this is not the case. Like God, science all too often fails to deliver their desired results. Therefore they have to fabricate a science that is more “useful” to them. For those in pursuit of “social justice,” this passes for morality.
The American liberal’s hatred for this country is limitless, and they know they have but a short time to implement their schemes to bankrupt us and hand over our sovereignty to the United Nation’s nefarious global government. Even as both the scientific data and these scandalous e-mails serve to destroy the global warming scheme in its tracks, the President is off to Copenhagen to launch one last, ill fated, charge. It kind of reminds me of the famous charge of George Pickett’s division on July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg. The charge succeeded in reaching its objective…they just couldn’t hold it. They didn’t have enough support. The man-made global warming scheme came so close, but in the end, it too will die for lack of support.
Good news though! We are being told that there are “continent size garbage dumps” being formed in the Pacific Ocean that are certain to cause an ecological disaster. Obviously western industrialized nations are to blame, and they must be forced to pay the debt they owe to the rest of the world for polluting the oceans. The United nations, with their hands out as always, will be there to collect the debt. The dream of redistribution of wealth never dies. Thieves, liars and liberals will always be with us, and our freedom and independence just offends the hell out of them. They cannot leave us, or our money, alone.

WHEN TOLERANCE KILLS

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 6:09 PM

Political correctness is in the air, and fear of the truth is everywhere. In the aftermath of the recent attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, President Obama went out of his way not to use the word “terrorism” to describe the massacre. And for good reason, the fantasy that there is no “war on terror” is one of the quintessential cogs in the left’s governing apparatus. Without which, all the other gears in their machine will not turn. It shall be interesting to watch the president and his administration scramble to blame the military and the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq for this incident. They will blame everyone…except those responsible.

In fact, the Fort Hood shooting is the first successful terrorist attack on American soil since 9-11. But Obama, his hands soiled with the responsibility of dis-assembling Bush era protections against such attacks, is attempting make it look like a run-of-the-mill maniac with a gun shooting. The politicization of the massacre was swift and sure as the FBI, within hours of the shootings, decried that this was not terrorist related even before FBI agents arrived at the scene.

Ever the loyal sycophants, the media too has been downplaying any relationship to the attacker, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, to organized terror groups. But alas, not only do such connections exist, they are damning:

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother’s funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations. -The London Telegraph

It is a shame that one has to consult foreign journalists to get an honest assessment of such critical elements of this story. This man was a follower of the same Imam as several of the 9/11 attackers. Some would say this alone qualifies as a reason to look for a possible terrorist link. Yet, as always, there is more:

Hasan’s eyes “lit up” when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki’s teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday’s horrific shooting spree. As investigators look at Hasan’s motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Hasan was praying at Dar al-Hijrah at about the same time, and the FBI will now want to investigate whether he met the two terrorists. Charles Allen, a former under-secretary for intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, has described al-Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen, as an “al-Qaeda supporter, and former spiritual leader to three of the September 11 hijackers… who targets US Muslims with radical online lectures encouraging terrorist attacks from his new home in Yemen”.

Last night Hasan remained in a coma under guard at a military hospital in San Antonio, Texas, and was said to be in a “stable” condition. Born in America to a Palestinian family, Hasan, 39, was an army psychiatrist who had chosen to sign up for the US military against his parents’ wishes. But he turned into an angry critic of the wars America was waging in Iraq and Afghanistan and had tried in vain to negotiate his discharge.

He counselled soldiers returning from the front line and told relatives that he was horrified at the prospect of a deployment to Afghanistan later this year – his first time in a combat zone. Whether due to his personal convictions, his stress over his deployment or other reasons, Hasan is alleged to have snapped and gone on a murderous rampage with a powerful semi-automatic handgun after shouting “Allahu Akhbar” (“God is great”), according to survivors. He had earlier given away copies of the Koran to neighbours. -The London Telegraph

Major Nidal Malik Hasan screamed “Allahu Akhbar” and began a shooting massacre that killed 13 soldiers and wounded 30 more. The fact that he acted alone would not make him any less of a terrorist. Lone suicide bombers are the norm in most Islamic terrorist attacks. That Hasan was a trained soldier would certainly make the use of firearms a somewhat more reasonable method of operation. The difference between a stressed out or delusional psychopath and a terrorist is political motivation and the political motivation is certain. Also certain is the unfortunate fact that Major Hasan had been communicating recently with his former Imam, Anwar al-Awlahi who currently resides in Yemen and acts as a recruiter for…Al-Qaeda!

His “Allahu Akhbar” declarations would certainly indicate that he was motivated by the Islamic fanatacism that Obama and his media bootlickers are bending over backwards to deny. This, of course, recalls President Clinton’s deliberate and misleading response to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Like all democrats, he viewed the bombing as a merely a crime, promising to find those guilty and punish them, rather than to attack the international groups that funded and enabled them. We have come full circle to the delusional world of leftist fools who act as though 9/11 never happened. Which, of course, only guarantees something equally disastrous will happen again.

Many people, including myself, have lamented and warned that the the weakening of Bush administration anti-terrorist policies would leave us vulnerable to be attacked again. Now it has happened and our president, fully believing that the only enemy to the United States is the American people, is doing everything he can to delegitimize the terrorist threat in order keep his domestic political agenda front and center. Depriving Americans of their liberties through the confiscation of the health care system and redistributing U.S. sovereignty and wealth through a fraudulent carbon-tax scheme supercedes defending the nation and its antiquated constitution in his eyes.

Lets face it, when the U.S. military is targeted within our own borders, our enemies do NOT fear us. As certainly as the October 12, 2000 attack on the USS Cole was a warning that our Islamic enemies were not impressed with America’s ability to thwart their actions, so too is Major Hasan’s attack on Fort Hood a precursor to an even greater and imminent attack. They our watching our for our response. What will it be?

The soldiers killed in this vicious attack were murdered by the president and his follower’s allegiance to the myths of tolerance, diversity and political correctness. As I have documented in previous writings, many of our soldiers are killed by people masquerading as their friends and allies. It is perhaps an unavoidable reality when an Iraqi soldier who goes into battle with Americans suddenly reveals his true allegiance by turning and firing on our soldiers. You cannot tell who is a jihadist just by looking at them. Al Qaeda has long encouraged infiltration into the foolishly politically correct West. However, this killer was no surprise:

In the months leading to Thursday’s shooting spree that left 13 people dead and 29 others wounded, Hasan raised eyebrows with comments that the war on terror was “a war on Islam” and wrestled with what to tell fellow Muslim solders who had their doubts about fighting in Islamic countries. “The system is not doing what it’s supposed to do,” said Dr. Val Finnell, who complained to administrators at a military university about what he considered Hasan’s “anti-American” rants. “He at least should have been confronted about these beliefs, told to cease and desist, and to shape up or ship out.”

Finnell studied with Hasan from 2007-2008 in the master’s program in public health at the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., where Hasan persistently complained about perceived anti-Muslim sentiment in the military and injected his politics into courses where they had no place. “In retrospect, I’m not surprised he did it,” Finnell said of the shootings. “I had real questions about what his priorities were, what his beliefs were.” -Associated Press

It’s called “discrimination,” and it is exactly what was called for here. Too many people hold onto foolish ideas of tolerance and political correctness and those are the very things that led to this massacre. The saddest part of this story is the revelation that many soldiers who heard the rantings of this Islamic supremacist dared not report what they knew in fear of being labeled a bigot and accused of discrimination. Even worse the Secretary of the Army had this to say after the tragedy:

“I’m concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that. There are about 3,000 Muslims on active duty military service or in the National Guard or reserve forces, They remain a small minority within the U.S. military.” -General George Casey

WHAT!!!!! A fully indoctrinated Islamic supremacist infiltrates the United States Army and kills American soldiers and the army’s top general goes on every major Sunday news show to say he fears a “backlash” against the one thousand Muslim soldiers who currently serve? If there is one group of people who have shown they can keep a level head in these situations it is those serving in our military. We need to stick to the issue at hand instead of fabricating a “backlash” that has not and will not happen. In fact, we need to act in a way that will protect our soldiers from the “backlashes” of future turncoats.

In WW II our ancestors had the wisdom to disallow American’s of Japanese descent from serving in the Japanese theater, and even went so far as to imprison many until their backgrounds could be investigated during the early stages of the war. Obama and his ilk look down on these decisions as discriminatory and bigoted, yet it was entirely reasonable given the suddenness of the Japanese attack and the problems inherent with diverse and multicultural societies.

I tell you we are NOT better than our ancestors. We are weakened by political correctness because we haven’t had the courage to question Muslims in our society…and we are paying for it. It may be true that not every Muslim is a terrorist in waiting, and many are perfectly loyal Americans. But Major Hasan wasn’t, and it doesn’t take a psychological degree to see that he was a threat. What more could he have done to draw attention to himself? Declare war on America? Obama has done that!

Major Hasan was definitely wrong about one thing. Presidents Bush and Obama have gone out of their way to make it clear that the “War on Terror” was NOT a war on Islam. That is why it is doomed to fail. Too many ignorant people inflate their opinion of themselves and their intellect by accepting a foolish moral equivalency of Islam with other religions, particularly Christianity. It is a fool’s lie. Islam is at war with us and has been for 1200 years. It only understands dominance and submission. Tolerance to Islam is dangerous. Thanks to Nadal Hasan, we have learned that lesson yet again. Therefore, what we need is an open declaration of “War on Islam.” Political correctness be damned! Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization. Muslims know this, why do we insist on accepting tolerance, diversity, equality and political correctness mythology? They are all false gods.

“Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. How can there be any dispute about the virtue of what [Hasan] has done? In fact the only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the U.S. army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.” -Anwar al-Awlaki’s response to the massacre

Discrimination. Its what people do…when they KNOW better. How long does it take for some people to learn?

A TIME TO KILL?

  • Nov. 1st, 2009 at 12:27 PM

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. – Ecclesiastes 3:1-7

Finally, ten months into his administration, President Obama has a significant foreign policy achievement he can hang his hat on. Perhaps it is something we can assume is a direct result of the “prestige” bestowed upon him with the awarding of the now infamous Nobel Peace Prize. No, I am not talking about an agreement for sanctions against the recalcitrant regime in Iran that is Hell-bent on developing nuclear weapons. The Russians, in spite of Obama’s feel-good appeasement/betrayal of the Czech and Polish governments, have already announced they will not participate in any such maneuver. Instead, our president has apparently succeeded in getting the legally removed socialist dictator in training restored to his presidency in Honduras.

 

Honduras is on the verge of ending a four-month political crisis after rival camps cut a deal that could return ousted President Manuel Zelaya to power and earn international support for a November 29 election. Buckling under pressure from U.S. diplomats, negotiators for Zelaya, toppled in a June 28 coup, and the de facto leader Roberto Micheletti who replaced him, agreed to put an end to Central America’s worst political turmoil in two decades.

The deal, a diplomatic victory for U.S. President Barack Obama, leaves it up to the Honduran Congress to decide whether Zelaya can be restored to serve the last few months of his term — the question that caused earlier talks to stumble. A Congress vote is expected in the next few days, after the Supreme Court gives a non-binding opinion on the matter. (Reuters)

This, of course, is the same Honduran Congress and Supreme Court that initially supported the ouster of the president in the first place thereby assuring its’ status as a legal removal from office. Due to the misguided and relentless pressure applied by the Obama administration, which included the refusal to recognize the legally chosen replacement for President Zelaya as well as the refusal to recognize subsequently elected governments in the future, the Honduran government has a greed to a compromise that will allow the exiled president to return to office.

This may not, at first glance, appear to be a big deal. Surely the Obama administration will call this a triumph for democracy and the rule of law. After all, Honduras has elections scheduled to occur shortly and and Zelaya will almost certainly be voted out…or will he?

Zelaya was sent into exile on June 28 after attempting to hold a vote on whether a constituent assembly should be set up to look at rewriting the constitution. The proposed rewrite would lift the current ban on presidential re-election and allow him to remain in office beyond a constitutionally limited second term. The vote was deemed in violation of the constitution by the Supreme Court. This process is not unlike the one used by Zelaya’s good friend and political ally, Hugo Chavez, that has allowed that socialist dictator to assume permanent control over Venezuela…all in the name of democracy and the rule of law. Peculiar how these people use such seemingly liberal ideals to enslave their populations under fascist domination isn’t it?

Clearly, with the action to restore Zelaya to office, The Constitution of Honduras has been negated. No agreement to restore him can be considered legal if, in fact, his removal was legal. Zelaya’s replacement, Robert Micheletti, cowered in the face of pressure from international socialists. The Honduran Congress still has to vote on this agreement and the Supreme Court has to certify it as well. However all of this is occurring AFTER external pressure from other nations has been applied. This is definitely a test of a nation’s right to exert its’ own sovereignty.

If, in fact, Zelaya is restored to power, this will constitute an intolerable act perpetrated against the people of Honduras. They had a procedure for protecting themselves from a president that was abusing his power. The ability to impeach, recall and remove leaders is a necessary part of a healthy democracy. The people must have protections against those who would use the apparatus of the law to establish a dictatorship. This is what Zelaya was accused of, and for which he was legally removed. If Zelaya returns to power, the military, or a group of civic minded leaders, should assassinate him. When the people have exhausted every other recourse, and in this case they have, then violence is in order…it is the time to kill. A price must be extracted for this intolerable act or there will definitely be more intolerable acts to come. The price must be very high. If this leads to further violence and unrest, so be it.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – Thomas Jefferson

That Obama would choose to interfere with the internal machinations of another democratic country is very revealing. Especially when you consider how, up till now, it has been handled relatively peacefully. Obama, like all socialists, is willing to contest the unfairness and social injustice of law and order until, of course,  he becomes the law and the order. Then, like all socialists, he acquires a peculiar dislike for such things as dissent that might point out certain injustices of their own. That is why democrats in this country always speak of disenfranchised voters when they lose, yet fail to prosecute cases of voter intimidation when they win. This is evidenced by Obama’s Justice department’s unwillingness to prosecute the Philadelphia Black Panthers. It is not freedom, fairness or equality that they seek…it is absolute power. That is why the events in Honduras are so important. They are establishing an international right to validate a sovereign country’s government without the consent of the governed. Did you ever think you would see an American president make such a stand?

There is one thing you can count on from our socialist friends. The acquisition of power will lead to a love of country and a belief in the patriotic duty to sacrifice for the country that they control. Dissent, once celebrated as a high form of patriotism, will suddenly be reviled as treason against the state and their illusions of the will of the people. One need only watch the transformation of the on air personalities at MSNBC to see such shifting principles and the resulting new-found love for a country that just last year they condemned. Which brings us to a new problem…or should I say. the highly expected return of an old standard of the left: The unfair election…

This year, New Jersey’s registered voters can request a mail-in ballot for any reason. (Before 2005, voters needed to provide a reason for why they needed an absentee ballot.) The state received about 150,000 absentee-ballot applications this year. On about 2,300 of those applications so far, the signature on the request form does not match the signature on the voter’s registration forms with the state.

In a development that is depressingly predictable, the New Jersey Democratic party is asking the state to provide provisional ballots for all these voters. Those ballots could, presumably, be used to overcome any narrow lead by Republican Chris Christie over Democrat Jon Corzine on Election Day.

A mass distribution of provisional ballots, at the request of a political party, would represent a significant change from established law. Currently, when a county clerk rejects an absentee-ballot request, the clerk tries to contact the voter — through mail, by phone, and in some cases, by attempting to contact the voter in person. And a person who has spoken to some of New Jersey’s county clerks says they’re granting wide latitude on signature styles; for them to reject a ballot request because of the signature, it has to be dramatically different from the one on file..

Democrats have never made this request before, not even in 2008, where many more New Jersey residents were voting through absentee ballots. Of course, that year Democrats Barack Obama and Frank Lautenberg were expected to win the statewide races handily.

The fears of absentee-ballot fraud in New Jersey is not theoretical or far-fetched. Earlier this year, Atlantic City councilman Marty Small and 13 people who worked on his unsuccessful mayoral campaign “were indicted on charges they conspired to commit election fraud during the June Democratic primary through a variety of schemes involving messenger absentee ballots, state Attorney General Anne Milgram announced in Trenton.” One of those workers has already pled guilty. Five workers were indicted on similar charges in Essex County in August. – National Review Online

Now, according to New Jersey Policy, third parties can pick up and return absentee ballots. However, a couple of weeks ago, a Democratic operative in Atlantic City plead guilty to a charge of tampering with ballots. One of the practices mentioned in the indictment was the person picking up ballots from people and throwing them out if they weren’t for his candidate. And then there was this:

They allegedly solicited applications for messenger absentee ballots from individuals not qualified to receive them and had the voters not fill in the name of the messenger, so they could fraudulently designate themselves as the authorized messengers or bearers. – New Jersey Office Of The Attorney General

Hmm. It looks like another play at the Al Franken strategy, and why not? They got away with it that time. In a close election you make sure you have plenty of absentee ballots at your disposal to “discover” during the recount process as you contest all of your opponent’s votes and replace them with your own. If you will recall, Franken trailed his opponent, Norm Coleman, by just a few hundred votes. However, after a recount fraught with judicial challenges brought before favorable judges that also included the discovery of 300 ballots, all for Franken, found in the trunk of a car, Franken unsurprisingly came out the winner. A perfectly stolen election.

Suspicious minds reasonably see these requests for questionable absentee ballots as an attempt to create a pool of emergency votes to be used if Republican Chris Christie holds a small lead on Election Night. Reasonable people should also see that this is another example of Democrats preparing their tactics for the 2010 elections and beyond. Republicans and conservatives are rightly salivating at the prospects of substantial gains in the coming elections due to the over-reach of progressive democrats. However you must remember who you are dealing with. This is the evolutionist, by any means necessary party. They are not bound by moral convictions or an ideological attachment to free and fair elections. They will do whatever they have to do to steal the election and then afterward demand the rest of us abide by the laws they so flagrantly violated.

In Honduras, the time for peaceful dissent is winding down. The re-installment of a legally removed president is their sign that they can no longer remain passive and non-violent. Their liberty is in need of “refreshing.” As anyone who has ever planted a tree can attest, they need lots of “refreshing” when they are young and vulnerable. There is nothing unexpected in this. However, we haven’t got there yet, but Obama and his progressive sycophants are pushing us in that direction. Soon, we too could reach a point of no return. Even a 233 year old democracy can find itself in need of “refreshing.”

As we look forward to the 2010 and 2012 elections just remember, so are the progressives…and we are seeing their plans.

PERCEPTION IS REALITY

  • Oct. 10th, 2009 at 9:51 PM

I have been reading a new book this week called “And Party Every Day” by Larry Harris. It tells the story of Casablanca records and how they went from nothing to becoming one of the most powerful labels in the music business. Casablanca, as you may recall, is the label that brought KISS to the world, although they were somewhat of an anomaly to the label. Casablanca became known as the “disco” label at a time when disco was king of the charts. Being a lifelong enlistee in the KISS Army it was inevitable that I would be drawn to this book written by the late Neil Bogart’s second in command. It is a very revealing read.

Although the book is excellent, this is not a book review. In reading the book it becomes clear that Neil Bogart, the founder and President of Casablanca, was one of the most innovative and effective propagandists since Joseph Goebbels. In the music business, it would be reasonable to suggest that selling a lot of records will get you to the top of the music charts. In the world of Casablanca records the equation would be reversed. If you are at the the top of the charts, you will sell a lot of records. Casablanca’s promotion department was masterful at creating the illusion of success. Often times, ethics would take a back seat to the creative engineering and manipulating of  music charts, as well as the fabrication of awards, in order to create the perception of success. Later, the reality of success, in terms of hit songs and albums, would occur as a natural consequence of their manipulations. To be fair, they were usually correct, the reality of success, more often than not, soon followed. And to be more fair, it isn’t like they were the only ones doing it. Likewise, no one should doubt such manipulations are ongoing in an industry that thrives on illusions.

I cannot help but see a connection with the “engineering” of the music industry that Casablanca was so adept at in the 1970’s, and the social engineering being attempted by socialists today. This is particularly obvious in the ludicrous announcement this week that our President. Barack Hussein Obama, has been selected as the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. It is the classic example of attempting to manipulate reality through illusion. But of course, this is no surprise. Socialists live in a world of make believe and are always stunned at their repeated failure to turn fantasy into reality. So just grab yourself a Donna Summer record and enjoy the ride.

Reaction all over the world to the announcement has been predictable: a resounding chorus of “for what.” Whatever credibility this award had remaining, after being bestowed upon such arbiters of peace as the likes of Yasser Arafat, has been dealt a final, fatal blow. Obama had been in office only 12 days when the Nobel nominations were due. That’s a mere 288 hours for Obama to have been deemed award worthy. Apparently this is an example of “affirmative action” going international.

Our glorious leader was sound asleep in the White House when the Norwegian Nobel Committee made the announcement. The committee claimed that he was being honored for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples.” The committee also praised the “change in the international climate” that the President had brought, along with his cherished goal of ridding the world of nuclear weapons. “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” it added.

Ahh, I get it. he deserves the award for not being George W. Bush. It seems to me that this is something that Obama can truly credit to his predecessor, as clearly this award was a swipe at him. Yet I have yet to hear Obama “blame” Bush for this like he does every thing else…reckon why? Perhaps our President’s sizable ego tells him that winning a Nobel Prize was inevitable. The justification is not important.

The award is also an example of the growing aspirational trend of Nobel committees over the past three decades, by which awards are given not for what has been achieved but in support of the cause being fought for. The United Nations is making a tremendous push to get an international agreement on global warming. They are in a hurry as the fraudulent science that this international income redistributionist scheme is built on, is crumbling in the face of a decades worth of evidence of globally cooling temperatures. Everyone knows there will be no meaningful agreement without the co-operation and involvement of the United States.

Any fool can see that this is an obvious attempt at manipulating the United States by international socialists. By boosting Obama’s international prestige with this award, they hope to manipulate the United States into passing significant carbon emission reducing legislation. They are Hell bent on redistributing the wealth of the United States to the rest of the world. Obama managed to get an extortionist cap and trade climate bill through the House of Representatives this summer…but at great cost. The bill barely passed with a lot of White House arm twisting. The President used up valuable political capital, yet the bill now finds itself stalled in the Senate where Senators have no appetite for it. In the eyes of the Nobel prize Committee Obama needs help, and they have given it to him. Like Casablanca before them, they have created the illusion of success in hope that the reality of it will follow. If only Barack would dress like a cop and sing “Macho Man,” this might come to pass.

However, for those of you seeking some thread of justification for this award, let me comfort you by providing it. President Barack Obama has effectively eliminated the United States entire arsenal of nuclear weapons. His cherished goal of worldwide nuclear disarmament may be out of reach but by electing him we have helped him make the first move. Don’t believe me? Well, consider this: Our Commander In Chief received a request for more troops for the Afghanistan conflict from his handpicked General Stanley McChrystal over five weeks ago. He waited three weeks before he even acknowledged that the request had been made, and only then after word of it it had been leaked. Now he is said to be deep into discussions and deliberations as to his next move on a war he claimed was the “right” war as opposed to Iraq being the “wrong” one.

And how is that decision coming along? Any soldier can tell you that indecision is a greater danger than making an incorrect one. Apparently we have a Commander In Chief that suffers from indecision paralysis. In war, time and speed are often the important ingredients that make the difference in success or failure. Commanders in the field should be handicapped by deliberations and war councils far removed from the fighting. That is a recipe for defeat. Perhaps Obama feels he has the time for excessive deliberation considering the nature of the Afghanistan battlefield. However, leaders throughout the world are observing the paralysis of Obama’s decision making process…and they are taking notes. they have discovered that when it comes to decision making, he is no George W. Bush.

Don’t be too impressed by the supposed collapse of the old Soviet Union. All of those intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM’s) that were pointed our way during the cold war are still there, and they are still aimed at us. Though tensions between the United States and Russia may seem to have eased in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse, there is a lot of ill will and resentment within Russia over the loss of prestige and influence that their superpower status once entitled them to. Such feelings are at the core of the relationship to Vladmir Putin and the United States. Obama recognizes none of this.

It takes 25 minutes for an ICBM to reach the United States from Russia. Is a man who is paralyzed when confronted with a decision about committing troops to an ongoing conflict the man to give the order for a retaliatory strike against Putin’s Russia? No. For all practical purposes, the United States has no nuclear arsenal as the Commander in Chief has not got the will to use it. All the firepower in the world is useless if there is no one willing to give the order. Our enemies know this. We may not survive this administration.

World leaders from Putin to Ahmadinejhad and Kim Jong Il have been bullying our President without fear of reprisal. Such weakness only serves to promote war. To a proud and resentful old KGB agent like Putin, the opportunity to lay waste to his greatest enemy may be to great a temptation to pass up. Our survival depends not on our President’s willingness to defend us, he won’t, but on Putin’s sense of morality and fair play. To attack the defenseless amounts to murder. Can he, or will he, murder us?

Unfortunately for us, the answer is probably, yes. Our President has been making the case since before he was elected that the United States exploits the world and its resources for its own selfish desires. Our own President has made the justification for our execution in the name of “social justice.” He has humbly bowed before the world and pleaded our guilt for crimes against humanity. By betraying his country to its enemies he will be a hero to the rest of the America hating world. Certainly the man responsible for placing us at the mercy of the world’s judgement is entitled to a Nobel Peace Prize. By giving him his award in advance, we can celebrate it with him. After all, we won’t be around to celebrate after he actually earns it.

The world has given him his reward. They have proclaimed him a great man. Now he must turn that perception into reality by delivering us to our enemies. Just envision your destruction to the tune of the decadent seventies most decadent band singing “Macho Man.” A symphony of destruction for the United States of Mystery Babylon.

THIS MEANS WAR

  • Sep. 20th, 2009 at 8:20 PM

“This is a dangerous world, and this cat isn’t remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you.” – Former President G.W. Bush speaking about then Democratic Presidential nominee Barack H. Obama

War is coming soon. Count on it. I am not talking about the kind of war such as Iraq and Afghanistan, which inconveniences no one beyond the deployed soldiers and their families. No, you are soon going to get the real deal. A conflict that will involve every thought of every moment of your waking lives. President Obama’s announcement that he will not fulfil the United States’ commitment to install an anti-ballistic missile defense system in Eastern Europe has provided further proof, as if any were needed, that so called “progressives,” in spite of all their pseudo-intellectual arrogance, never learn from their mistakes.

VIENNA (AP) - Experts at the world’s top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press. The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency’s leaders share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities.

It appears to be the so-called “secret annex” on Iran’s nuclear program that Washington says is being withheld by the IAEA’s chief. The document says Iran has “sufficient information” to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to “overcome problems” on developing a delivery system.

The failure to follow through on the previous administration’s promise, combined with Iran’s continued, and now possibly completed, development of nuclear weapons is an invitation for war…and a big one at that. If you count the cold war as World War Three then gird your loins for World War 4. It’s coming.

You have to work very hard to make as many mistakes as fast as this administration has in just nine months. Fear matters in a dangerous world, and make no mistake about it, no-one is afraid of Barack H. Obama. So far he has alienated all of America’s traditional allies while encouraging those countries hostile to us.

Obama failed to stand with Iranians protesting the pre-ordained election results that returned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to office. He is so determined that he can negotiate with this maniacal lunatic that he has acted to keep him in power just so he can prove it to us. He likewise has sided with the Hugo Chavez backed president of Honduras who was rightly ousted by the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress for trying to illegally alter their constitution. Even now, this administration is insisting that Chavez’s man be put back into power or the U.S. will not recognize this government or ANY future elected government! Thats insane.

He has also been pressing Israel for more concessions while authorizing money for Palestinians. Such financial aid has historically been returned to Israel in the form of unprovoked rocket attacks. Throw in an ill-conceived investigation into the CIA’s interrogation of terrorist detainees, and even our own people see no reason to trust this administration. What’s next, granting terrorists captured on the battlefield as prisoners of war rights of Habeas Corpus?

BAGRAM, Afghanistan – Afghan inmates held in the US’s Bagram military custody center will soon have their first opportunity to exercise expanded rights to challenge indefinite detention. The Obama administration has prepared a new set of guidelines regarding the legal rights of over 600 Afghan inmates detained at Bagram air-base.  The administration hopes to implement the new system during this week.  The new system will also grant extended rights to an unknown number of captive nationals from numerous other Middle Eastern states. - Impunity Watch, Asia

The “Blame America First” people are now in charge and they are on an appeasement crusade. The decision not to deploy the missile defense system was part of the Obama administration’s “reset” negotiating policy with Russia. Although he was willing to make this concession to Russia, alienating still more U.S. allies in Poland and Czechoslovakia, he apparently got nothing in return other than the possibility that Russia might assist in future negotiations with Iran. This is not what one would call savvy negotiating. The only thing less comforting than this administration’s weak negotiating skills is its apparent tactlessness. How do you announce you are backing out of a defense deal with Poland on the 70th anniversary of the day that the Russians and Germans invaded the country to start the second world war? Are they really this callous, or worse, ignorant? These arrogant people pride themselves on their intellectual superiority…where is it?

For their part the government of Poland reacted as you should well expect they would. They refused to to take Secretary Of State Hilliary Clinton’s calls. The Czech and Polish governments put themselves out on a limb to be supportive of the United States, and this is their reward? Interestingly, although this decision is an offense to the governments of these countries, the people themselves actually approve of this decision. It is their fear that allowing such a system to be deployed on their territory would make them a desirable target for terrorists.

If there is one thing you can count on, it is the consistency of European cowardice. We have seen their willingness to appease aggressors lead to disaster time and again in the last century. Yet they not only fail to learn from those disasters, they also fail to remember the lesson of Ronald Reagan. In the 1980’s, at the peak of the cold war, he deployed medium range nuclear missiles in West Germany…and oh how the people did complain. Once again, they argued it would increase the likelihood of war. What happened? Ten years later both the missiles AND the Soviet Union were gone, without a shot being fired. Peace through strength is the only thing that will prevent a war. Weakness will always provoke an aggressor to strike. Unfortunately cowardice comes too easily to the European. Too bad.

Our “Appeaser in Chief’” should have insisted on one very important concession from Russia. His failure to do so has guaranteed war. The Russians have agreed to sell Iran anti-aircraft missiles. Obama should have insisted that the sale be canceled in exchange for betraying our allies. He insisted on nothing and bowed to the Kremlin’s wishes. Those anti-aircraft missiles are for the purpose of defending Iran from a potential strike by Israel on their nuclear facilities. Failure to get that sale stopped, combined with the IAEA report claiming Iran can now build an atomic weapon, makes it imperative that Israel strike sooner rather than later. Rhetoric like this doesn’t help either:

“The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false … It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim. Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty. This regime (Israel) will not last long. Do not tie your fate to it … This regime has no future. Its life has come to an end.” – Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Sept. 18, 2009

Israel knows those weapons have but one purpose, their annihilation. They will strike, and they will strike first. They must. But that will present several problems. Last year the Democratically controlled Congress blocked the sale of several “bunker buster” bombs to Israel. They thought that, by depriving Israel of these deep penetrating conventional weapons, they could discourage a war with Iran. However, for Israel, this is about survival. Denying Israel the use of these weapons does not reduce the likelihood of military action. It just forces them to use different munitions. Israel dares not risk a failed attack, or one that does not significantly disable Iran’s nuclear capability. With hardened facilities buried deep underground, you need devastating firepower. Thanks to the shortsighted actions of the Democrats in Congress, Israel may be forced to use nuclear weapons to destroy their targets. Consider the ramifications of that.

In any event, an Israeli attack will lead to worldwide condemnation of Israel, and likely, a worldwide counter-attack via terrorism. Decades of acquiescence to Islamic immigration will envelope Europe in a firestorm of internally delivered attacks. Perhaps it is the just reward for their perpetual cowardice. Such attacks will certainly find their way to the United States as well. After all, the President has been in a rush to dismantle the apparatus that the previous administration built to protect us after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Fortunately, this time, the terrorists will have adequate legal representation in the event they get caught.

Israel has the capacity to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, but can they, or will they, attempt to destroy all of Iran’s military assets? Almost certainly not. The consequences of an Israeli attack will be the certainty that the Iranian navy will close the Persian Gulf, shutting off the oil supply to the West. Welcome to world war. Oil prices will spike the world over from the instantaneous shortages this will create. Someone will have to reopen the Persian Gulf. Conventional wisdom says that “someone” will have to be the United States.

But in the Obama administration there is no place for either convention or wisdom. The crisis that will occur when the oil spigot is cut off will have spectacularly useful repercussions to an administration that doesn’t believe a crisis should be allowed to go to waste. Therefore, there is no guarantee that Obama will give the order to reopen the Persian Gulf. Failure to do so will definitely prolong the crisis and almost certainly will have the effect of suffocating every Western economy. If the crisis can be prolonged long enough, it may prove fatal. Not a bad days work if you are not only the president of the most powerful economy on earth, but also the president of the Karl Marx/Che Guevara fan club. Considering the economic decisions this administration has made thus far, such a crisis could be irresistible. For a man with Obama’s ego, the opportunity to rebuild the world in his own image may be too much of a temptation. To hell with the rest of us.

GENESIS 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

And yet there is another possibility. One that may be the most diabolical of them all. For Israel to have any chance of succeeding in its’ primary objective of destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities, it must have the element of surprise on its’ side. If it trusts the Obama administration, and there is no reason that it should, Israel may, as a courtesy, notify Washington of its’ intentions. Israel may, however, choose not to tell Washington in advance since the Obama administration, unlike Bush’s, is not likely to offer any assistance.

In either event, the United States has plenty of military assets in the region that will be able to detect that such a strike is underway. I propose that, given this administration’s tendency to cater to the Muslim world, it is very possible Obama will tip off the Iranian’s that such an attack is coming and from where. After all, have you ever seen a nation more determined to switch sides in all of its commitments, both internationally and domestically, than this one? This will guarantee that the Israeli attack fails. Perhaps, in return, Obama will extract a promise from Iran not to close the Persian Gulf…but only by betraying one of our our closest allies. Of course, who but a naive negotiator like Obama could trust the government in Tehran to keep such an agreement? Muslim history is full of backstabbing.

If you think I am just an alarmist and talking out of my hat consider this conversation with Zbigniew Brzezinski, Obama’s top foreign policy adviser United States National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter, and notorious anti-Semite in an interview with the Daily Beast:

Daily Beast: How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?

Brzezinski: We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?

Daily Beast: What if they fly over anyway?

Brzezinski: Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse.

To the contrary, there are plenty on the far left, particularly among Reverend Wright style Black Liberationists, who would be delighted to see a battle between the United States and Israel. This is the conversation happening in the White House right now. Obama’s top adviser in this very matter is encouraging a military confrontation against our ally Israel in defense of our enemy Iran. And you thought it couldn’t get worse. If you voted for change in the last election, you certainly got it!

“Under section 370 of the House Of Representatives Rules and Manual it has been held that a member of the house cannot refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” Yet, as he alienates our allies and coddles our enemies, it would appear he is doing just that. And you know what that means…WAR!

But whose side are we on? Ask Poland and Czechoslovakia. They know…and Israel is soon going to find out.

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH

  • Sep. 6th, 2009 at 4:15 PM

“But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.” -2 Chronicles 36:16

Where were you when the line was crossed? Do you know what you were doing when the man who calls himself the President of the United States elevated himself to the status of God? Did you even notice or were you too busy with some other menial task to allow yourself to appreciate this monumental moment? This kind of thing used to happen a lot in ancient times when entire populations were believers in many gods. It’s not so much of an occurrence in the age of reason and monotheism. Declaring yourself to be a god, however, is not quite the same as elevating yourself to the status of THE God. Although, to be fair, the ambition is the same whether you are Caligula or Obama. Behold, the most preposterous, and blasphemous, statement ever made by a President of the United States:

“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” – President Barack Obama

 

It doesn’t take many words to condemn an entire society. Perhaps President Obama has shown himself to be be as intellectual and eloquent as his propagandists would have us to believe by showing such brevity in his ascension to god status. Surely these words, and the incredible lack of public outrage to them, condemn all of us. Have you ever heard a believer (remember, this man claims to be a Christian) be so presumptuous as to say we’re “partners” with God on ANY question? Yet he dares utter this in defense of a government program that’s got people worried about “death panels” and taxpayer supported abortions.

In truth, a partnership is actually a nice framework for “The Anointed One’s” position on both abortion and bureaucratic panels that will determine who gets treatment and who does not in the fantasy land of “universal health care.” Unfortunately “I Am” is relegated to the status of junior partner in this relationship as only “The Anointed One” has the legal power to exercise a veto or sign a law. The godless press may have to reconsider their atheism in light of Obama’s new status. I would imagine Lucifer must be so envious of Obama succeeding where he failed!

You have to give Obama and the Democrats credit for their predictability. Once Health Care Reform lost favor with the public on its merits, or rather its lack of them, they resorted to every childish trick in their toy-box to demonize their opponents. They were quick to accuse opponents of Health Care Reform of being purveyors of false information, even as, time and again, the opponents were shown to be justified. In fact, time and again, it has been shown that supporters of Health Care Reform, especially lawmakers in congress, are the ones who have been guilty of misrepresenting the facts. Unfortunately, for them, the town hall meetings across America have shown that the public is better informed on the details of the various proposals than their legislators.

Of course, every child knows that when he is confronted with an idea he doesn’t like he must ridicule the bearers of such ideas by calling them every bad name he can think of. The law of the sandbox has been on display as opponents of Health Care Reform have been derided as “astroturf” in an attempt to degrade the sincerity of their opposition. This, in spite of the fact that supporters of Health Care Reform arrive in buses, wearing uniforms and carrying professionally made signs! There just hasn’t been enough of them to counter the ever growing number of opponents to Health Care Reform. Hypocrisy is, of course, another indicator of the underdeveloped minds of children. When criticized, you can also accuse your opponents of being “Brownshirts,” as our illustrious Speaker of The House Of Representatives chose to do. You’ve got to enjoy a good Nazi metaphor. This likewise has a certain hypocritical flair to it as you come to see how much the Health Care Reform proposals resemble those of a certain central European Nation circa the 1930’s. I’ll let you guess which one.

If your opposition still fails to wither from these initial confrontations you can always go to the tried and true formula of racial racketeering. Since the President is a black man, anyone who would dare oppose his policies must be a racist. You’ve got to love the consistency of these people. Unfortunately the profitability of racial racketeering may be coming to an end. It reached its zenith with the election, as the vast majority of white Americans gave themselves a “feel good” moment by electing a black president and, in their minds, signaling the beginning of a post-racial America. Apparently the Democrats didn’t view things the same way. To them it was the triumphant moment of their greatest exploitation of a black man to serve their own political ends. It really doesn’t matter who was right. The parasites that have been feeding off of white America’s guilt have killed their host, as parasites are prone to do. There is no more guilt left to consume. Americans turn on their Presidents often. Calling opponents of Health Care Reform racists has only made their opposition stronger.

So who wouldn’t turn to God when all else failed? The President, in his desperation, went to play the morality card that was once the first one that progressives would play back in the first half of the twentieth century. In those times, people actually believed in God without question. Modern progressives find playing the “God” card leaves a bad taste in their atheistic mouths. But hey, these are desperate times. So out comes Obama rehashing his usual arguments about being our brother’s keeper (which begs the question: what is Obama doing for his own brother?) and taking care of “the least among us.” Predictable rhetoric from a predictably adolescent mind…but then he got carried away:

“We are God’s partner in matters of life and death” – President Obama

Wow! I think he misunderstood his instructions. Instead of turning to God, he turned into one. It doesn’t get any better the more times you hear it but, before you simply dismiss our president as a pompous ass, idiot or the anti-christ, consider this: God seems to be holding up his end of the partnership! How else to you explain the “coincidence” of senator Ted Kennedy, champion of Health Care as a “right” of every citizen, being called home just the next week? Certainly that had to be “divine intervention”…didn’t it? The Senator’s body was still warm when less than an hour from his passing Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were, all too predictably, attempting to use his death to inspire Democrats to rally around the deflating debacle of Health Care Reform. Naturally they suggested naming the bill in honor of the fallen Senator…all to no avail. Still the American people refuse to buy into a government run system for health care. And like Children, the progressives that have infested and consumed the Democratic party just won’t accept “no” as an answer.

Alas, what the President needs is a distraction. Something to divert the public’s attention away from Health Care Reform while they retool their message and try again. I know, lets launch an investigation into detainee abuse by the CIA. That worked really well the first time they suggested it back in April…oh wait…that didn’t work so well did it? It kind of made Dick Cheney look like the man we should have elected as President instead of the Marxist teenager we’re stuck with now. Well, at least it will keep the far left wackos occupied while he figures out how to sneak a government controlled public option for health care past a public that doesn’t want it.

So where does our glorious leader go from here? Like a reprobate teenager he will just change the wording of the bill slightly and repackage it as something new…which it won’t be. The President and his advisers are convinced that Health Care Reform’s lack of popularity is a communication failure, rather than a problem of substance, so expect a barrage of new and improved propaganda…but the same old bill.

Senator John Kerry got things rolling in a big way with his appearance on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopolous. Over the last year Democrats have claimed the number of uninsured Americans to be 47 million. Of course this  dubious number is a lie that includes not only 12 million illegal aliens but also wealthy people who choose not to be insured as well as those who are qualified to get insurance but CHOOSE not to get it. Since this number of uninsured Americans failed to persuade the insured majority of the country to see the need to sabotage their health insurance in favor of the new proposals, Senator Kerry “improved” the number of uninsured Americans to 87 million! So there you have it. The new improved message is simply to tell bigger lies.

It stands to reason that bigger lies would also include stepping up the more aggressive elements of the Obama persuasion campaign. Hence this wonderful statement from Organizing For America:

STAY HOME FOR THIS EVENT! DO NOT GO ANYWHERE!
—* The Event consists of ALL OF US Making Two Phone Calls on one particular, single day.
—* We call each of our State Senators (phone numbers are below) on that day.

What day? Our US Senators return to DC the Tues after Labor Day. That next FRIDAY, Sep 11, is Patriot Day, designated in memory of the nearly three thousand who died in the 9/11 attacks.

All 50 States are coordinating in this – as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.

DO YOU WANT to ensure passage of the Public Plan? Since 75% of Americans support it, I guess it’s time for us Seventy-Five Percenters to be heard. Why Public Plan? = Because It’s American To Take Care Of Our Own!

So 75% of Americans support a public plan? Like Senator Kerry, they are simply telling a bigger lie. And what of the name calling? Right Wing Domestic Terrorists? Treacherous leaders? Most people recognize a tantrum when they see one. We shouldn’t fail to recognize the hypocrisy of calling Fox News a propaganda network when all of the rest of the media fawn over and worship the President and his socialist sycophants. They invested everything in Obama, and his failure will be their doom. The only capital a news agency has is its credibility, and virtually every media outlet in this country cast its pearls before the swine that is this President and his administration. Neither Obama the President, nor Obama the God can save this cast of unsavory characters from the growing wrath of the American people.

During the election, Pastor Rick Warren asked our future President when he thought life began. After he thought about it, Obama decided it was above his pay grade to answer the question. Perhaps the Pastor ought to give Obama a call. I would think one of the fringe benefits of a partnership with God would be knowing exactly when life begins. Especially considering that this partnership is based on matters of life and death.



I love Star Trek. Whether it be the incomparably brilliant original series or any of the spin-offs, I have always been enchanted by the Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future. To be sure, its all a bunch of socialist hooey. It’s a godless, collectivist nightmare of rebuilding the Tower of Babel and calling it the United Federation of Planets. It’s built around the pollyannaish pipe-dream of re-uniting all of mankind, with a few other species thrown in for good measure, and “organizing” everyone behind the Federation’s collectivist version of peace and harmony. However, I always found it remarkable that people accepted Roddenberry’s vision of the future without any real back-story of how all of humanity was aligned to the Federation’s universal order. Instead, all we get is a little story about a eugenics war, with millions killed, and some genetically improved super-humans, particularly one called Khan.

 

Yet it is the back story which enlightens us as to the foolishness of the entire concept. The Federation can only be created by force. Since Star Trek conveniently eliminates any possibility of a divine source of force we are left only with a man-made one. Good news! President Barack Obama likes Star Trek too. How do I know? Because you are witnessing his attempt at becoming that very same man-made force, and he is busy re-assembling that damnable Tower of Babel. Obama and his minions believe in equality in the distribution of everything and have anointed themselves with the authority to carry it out. The “redistribution of health care” that he and his democratic allies are proposing in the name of reform will be carried out whether we wish it or not. Or to put it in Star Trek speak: “resistance is futile.”

“I promise you, we will pass reform by the end of this year because the American people need it. We’re going to have to make it happen.” – President Obama

When in the history of our country has a President spoken as this one has? The President is watching support for both his Health Care Reform initiatives and his presidency evaporate. Instead of reassessing his positions and trying to align himself with the public that elected him, he has chosen to go to war against a majority of the American people. Is he sane? You betcha, and he is shamelessly arrogant. Barack Obama was elected to be President of the United States and yet he sends out an e-mail urging unions, and others that supported his election, to take to the streets and fight for his reforms by telling them that “this is the moment our movement was built for?” This would qualify as the most preposterous thing ever said by a sitting President were it not for a follow-up statement from the White House staff the very next day:

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard.” -Jim Messina Deputy Chief of Staff

Resistance may be futile, but its pretty damn impressive. The public’s resistance to the Health Care bills being proposed has erupted at town hall meetings and every other gathering any members of congress attend. The media, ever vigilant as always (sarcasm alert) has belittled and berated the huge crowds that are attending these meetings and has concluded that they are mobs or even Nazis. Once again we have to remind the condescending socialists in the media that the Nazi’s were socialists. The main difference between the modern American Democratic Socialist and the Nazi’s lie in the fact that the Nazis (National Socialists) loved their country. We can’t say that about Obama and the Democrats.

The President appeared to have popular support to reform Health Care as long as he spoke in generalities. Who wouldn’t support full coverage for everyone at less cost? His problem was never in persuading the public that we need to help get coverage to the 18% (dubious statistic) of our citizens who aren’t currently insured, but what kind of fool intentionally jeaopardizes the 82% who are insured to accomplish it? That is a fatal flaw in the court of public opinion. The 12-15 million CITIZENS who are truly uninsured by poverty or circumstances beyond THEIR control could have insurance policies purchased for them for a sum of 30 billion dollars. The Democrats blew 30 times that on their self-serving bogus stimulus bill. This is not about insuring the uninsured. This is not about cutting costs. It is about control.

The public has turned against Health Care Reform for one reason and one reason alone: they are reading the bills! Though this may seem like a new cutting-edge political philosophy it is proving to be very enlightening, and enraging to the American citizenry. There is a saying that the devil is in the details…meet the devil:

As you can see, there is a lot to dislike in the 1000 page bill. The President is attempting to circumvent the United States Constitution. There is no legal authority for the government to do ANY of this. In fact, the government is constitutionally prohibited from involving itself in these affairs. If Health Care Reform is allowed to pass, he will have essentially fulfilled his promise to fundamentally transform America. Is this the change anyone had in mind? If not, then now is the time to act. I’ve said before that these socialists are a determined lot. They view politics much like an algebra equation. They have their desired result. They have wanted to usurp our constitution and get control away from the people of this country since the days of Woodrow Wilson. They have been scheming to find the variable that will produce that result. Universal, government administered health care is the scheme they have concluded will bring them their desired result. The best part is that they actually believe they are morally superior enough to make such judgements. This is either the science of social engineering or the science of arrogance. You decide.

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.” – Ronald Reagan January 5, 1967

We may not have chosen this fight, and maybe we don’t even want it, but it is ours. The United States of America, as we have known it, hangs in the balance what we do, or fail to do, next. The Republicans in congress cannot stop this from being forced upon us. They do not have the votes. It is clear the public is against this so-called reform, yet the President and his allies insist they will pass it whether we like it or not. Make no mistake about it, this is an intellectual coup against our representative form of government. The President and his adolescent socialist allies haven’t got the courage to attempt the more violent variety of coups common throughout the rest of the world. A fellow could get hurt trying that, so he chooses scheming, deception and the manipulation of the parliamentary process (reconciliation anyone?) to achieve his goals. And this they call…social justice?

Social Justice is the process whereby moral cowards combine their collective weaknesses to take by force of numbers that which their ideas could not earn by merit. Unfortunately for us, “social justice” requires that the entire health care industry must be stolen from the private sector. However our President, the professional community organizer, has underestimated his electorate. The tactics of the disruptive protest so worshipped by the followers of Saul Alinsky, work only on an undefended target. And therein lies the problem with the President’s scheme. The American people are defending their Health Care system en masse. The Community Organizer in Chief is being out-organized by a public that is damning his plans at every point of opportunity. His solution to these complications has been to launch a taxpayer-funded initiative to recruit an Internet Snitch Brigade that will combat “disinformation about health insurance reform.” That’s right, the President of your country is asking you to report on your fellow citizens who oppose his agenda and provide him with their names and addresses…a genuine enemies list.

“These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.” - White House Online Bulletin

You can’t make this stuff up. Please feel free to send him a copy of this essay. Maybe he will lock me up in the same gulag as Ann Coulter, Monica Crowley or Mary Catherine Hamm…a fellow can dream can’t he?

Just one year ago, during the administration of ole’ GW Bush, we were told that dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Yet tonight I happened to notice that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann was labeling dissenting American citizens as political terrorists! My how the times have changed. Let them drink a full cup of their own medicine. How does it taste Keith? The President and his cohorts are desperate and have reduced their rhetoric to the level of childish name calling by dismissing the protesters as being “organized” and even stooping to label them as racists. SEIU and ACORN thugs (on Presidential orders no less!) have resorted to violent attacks on protesters…

“The nation’s largest federation of labor organizations has promised to directly engage with boisterous conservative protesters at Democratic town halls during the August recess.”

As a result, the townhall meeting with Russ Carnahan last night had union thugs preventing ordinary citizens from entering the building where he was speaking – with only union members being let in via a side door. Consequently, area citizens were not only denied entry, but were beaten by these thugs – several taken to the hospital. – Huffington Post

…and yet they still come in huge numbers. The sleeping giant is awake and it doesn’t fear union or community organizer thuggery. In fact we are calling you out. Bring it on!

We can, and must defeat this illegal reform bill. In the event that our government dares to pass this monstrosity against our wishes the figurative tarring and feathering that has been occurring at these town hall meetings may have to yield to its literal counterpart. Let that be their choice. We cannot allow this to stand. Just because they pass this into law does not mean we have to recognize it as such. Consider the words of Cicero:

“If ignorant and unskillful men have prescribed deadly poisons instead of healing drugs,these cannot possibly be called physician’s prescriptions; neither in a nation can a statute of any sort be called a law, even though the nation, in spite of being a ruinous regulation, has accepted it.”

We must never accept this illegal usurpation of constitutional authority. Do not think the world will return to normal. You will not be able to vote the scoundrels out of office in the next election if this passes. They see the numbers. They know how mad we are. The President has got to guarantee his congress their jobs. If they deliver him this bill to sign, there will not be a next election. Count on it. If you let them get away with stealing control of the health care industry, you will let them get away with cancelling elections. Nothing they are doing, or will do in the future, is new. It’s all been done before.

ECCLESIASTES 9:1 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Socialists cannot abide any opposition, and the concept of individual liberty is anathema to their worldview. We’re facing hardcore, old-school leftists that are well organized, highly disciplined, and ruthless. This will get much worse before it gets better. There is too much anger and rage, it can’t stay bloodless much longer with elected officials openly dismissing an ever increasing majority of the American people. Sometime soon, someone is going to lose it and bad things are going to happen.

George Will often says that history is not inevitable. Our country is worth fighting for, unfortunately the enemy we fight is exactly the one our founding fathers warned us about…our own government. The Constitution is the law, not Barack Obama or his socialist allies. This is the moment our President and his movement was built for…and this is the moment they must be stopped. Resistance is not futile, it is the order of the day.

WE ARE THE ONES WE"VE BEEN WAITING FOR

  • Jul. 19th, 2009 at 11:58 AM

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” -President Obama

There is a dangerous consistency to President Barack Obama that, thus far, is proving elusive to many people. This elusiveness, of course, is promoted by a media that marches in lockstep to the wishes of this administration. The recent protests over fraudulent elections in Iran and the President’s belated and lukewarm response is, in fact, quite consistent with his much more aggressive reaction to the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras. Understanding the underlying principles that drive President Obama’s actions in both instances is the key to interpreting the diabolical consequences he and his cohorts have in store for us in the United States as they attempt to implement their plans for “social justice.”

“It is not productive, given the history of US and Iranian relations to be seen as meddling in Iranian elections.” -President Barack Obama

It should appear obvious that an American president should want to be seen as supporting the people in Iran as they rise up in protest against a repressive, and oppressive, regime that has kept them bound to Islamic fascism for over thirty years. It should also be equally obvious that President Obama would be extremely reluctant to be seen as supporting protesters of a legally recognized government. After all, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was “legally” elected, just as was President Obama, and the similarities don’t end there.

That the Iranian presidential election bears all the hallmarks of a “rigged” election with a predetermined outcome does not intrude on President Obama’s perception of its legality. Democracy, it would appear, is only a shallow facade, not a deep and fundamentally held principle of this President. That there were “irregularities” in the process is of no concern to him.

One of the primary grievances against this election was the tendency for districts to have more votes cast than there were voters. This is just the type of “irregularity” that wouldn’t bother Obama…and why should it? If you will recall, this is the same “irregularity” that turned up in the highly contested election for the Senate seat from Minnesota this year. The very election which has resulted in comedian Al Franken effectively stealing the election. Republicans rightly protested many “irregularities” in that election process such as votes being “found” during the recount in the trunk of an election official’s car. Conveniently, all these newly discovered votes seemed to overwhelmingly favor Franken. When the recount began Franken trailed incumbent Norm Coleman by 250 votes, yet after the recount he led by just as many votes. Likewise, in Iran, Mahmoud Ahmidinijad managed to wind up with still more votes during the recounting process. Imagine that!

Strangely enough, just as in Minnesota, several voting districts had more more votes counted than there were voters. However, this is a problem that can be solved…and don’t you know how to do it? You get someone to go out and register as many people as possible. It doesn’t matter if the people registered actually exist. All that matters is that you increase the voter rolls. If you increase the number of registered voters then you can arrange for your candidate to get as many votes as they need to win without risking detection by having more votes than voters. It is a tactic sure to win in especially close elections where recounts are certain to be done.

Does this sound familiar? Have we heard of anyone recently registering a lot of new voters and getting caught for their registrations being fraudulent? By God, I think we have heard of such a thing haven’t we? Our friends at ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) have been charged in over a dozen states for committing this very act! Often in the most brazen and ridiculous manner. In Las Vegas, authorities said the group’s petitions included the names of the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys, who could reasonably be expected to be registered somewhere other than Nevada. They even went so far as to register Mickey Mouse…several times, in several states.

The media dismiss these charges by trying to convince us there is no real harm accomplished by these phony registrations. Yet stuffing the ballot box with extra votes for your candidate is a tried and true method for rigging elections. Registering voters AND making sure that only registered votes are counted is how we attempt to prevent ballot stuffing from happening. That is why we KNOW there were crimes committed in Minnesota where there were more votes than voters in twenty five counties! If ACORN had succeeded in registering more voters in those districts it might well have gone undetected. We must take these fraudulent registrations seriously. In 2008 ACORN signed up 1.3-million voters nationwide!

President Obama, however, is a product of ACORN and has benefited greatly from these “extra-legal” practices. He cannot acknowledge these crimes whether they occur in Iran, Minnesota or any of over a dozen states where charges have been filed without implicating himself. Do I need to point out that voter fraud has a long history in Chicago politics? Some things are as obvious as they appear. So how could President Obama possibly stand up for free and fair elections in Iran? He can’t. He does NOT support free and fair elections. He supports outcomes. Remember, this man is part of the “by any means necessary” crowd…and he means it!

“The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching. We mourn each and every innocent life that is lost. We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people.”

“Martin Luther King once said: ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ I believe that. The international community believes that.” -President  Barack Obama

It always bothers me that Obama and his ilk throw the word “justice” around so often. Their idea of justice is like an algebra equation. They know what the outcome must be, they are just solving for a variable that will accomplish it. Iran should be very wary that our president wishes “justice” for them. His “justice” is not such that he can stand with their people against a repressive government….but hey, at least he did ask them to stop killing the protesters. One questions the sincerity of even that lightweight gesture when his own UN ambassador had this to say:

“The political situation in Iran is for the Iranians to work out internally.” -Susan Rice, UN Ambassador

But of course, no meddling.

“I’ve made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is not interfering with Iran’s affairs.” -President  Barack Obama

The Iranian people have not, and will not receive even so much as an “atta boy” for their efforts to free themselves from their shackles. This, in spite of the fact that the Iranian people are trying to do exactly what Israel may soon feel compelled to do militarily. If successful, the Iranian could disarm this entire nuclear nightmare, yet our President does…nothing.

This is not the case in Honduras. Our calm and disinterested President is all about meddling in this Central American country. In the aftermath of the Honduran army’s physical removal of the president of their country, our president was quick to condemn what was, for them, a reasonable and legal action. The Honduran constitution clearly states that presidents can only serve one term in office. President Manuel Zelaya , following the model of his socialist mentor Hugo Chavez, was attempting to get around this inconvenient law and set up a referendum that would allow the people a chance to vote on a change of that law. You know, another one of those free and fair elections that the “by any means necessary” crowd specializes in manipulating. The Honduran supreme court wisely, and rightly, saw this as a usurpation of authority and therefore authorized the army to remove the president…and they did. His replacement will simply finish out the remaining time and hold elections on schedule. Considering that violent overthrows are commonplace in this part of the world, this is a rather peaceful return of power to the people of Honduras.  It is actually President Zelaya who was attempting a coup by trying to make himself a permanent president. It was the Supreme Court and the army that acted in the defense of liberty and democracy.

“We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras, the democratically elected president there. It would be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the era in which we are seeing military coups as a means of political transition, rather than democratic elections.” -President Barack Obama

Why such a different, bold and quick response from our president in this instance when he was so lackadaisical in responding to the Iranian uprising? Barack Obama is what is often referred to as a “college socialist.” If you have ever attended college then you should be familiar with the type. They are a group of perpetual adolescents who are always looking for justification for not only their perceived grievances against society, but also for their perceived sense of self-importance. The shallow idealism and man-made morality of socialism provides them with both. They get to proselytize against the selfishness of individualism and capitalism while also promoting themselves as an educated “elite,” rightfully entitled to dispense “social justice” and fix the world to their liking. It really isn’t so much politically idealistic as it is arrogant and and condescending. Its the old “Divine Right Of Kings” mentality with them as both the divine and the kings. Therefore they feel both morally and intellectually unassailable. Now we have elevated one of these “know it all” adolescents to be leader of the free world. God help us.

Like all adolescents, these Marxists are entirely dedicated to scheming and deceiving. If we are foolish enough to let them scheme their way into positions of power, they will betray the people who voted them into office by working to destroy the machinations of free society. We have seen this all too often, whether it be Obama’s promises to govern in a fiscally responsible manner or Sonia Sotomayor’s chameleon-like performance before the Senate, denying her history of racial preferences and judicial activism and lying to make herself sound like an adherer to strict constructionism in interpreting the constitution. The ends always justify the means to these people. Once in positions of power they will attempt to force changes in the law through dubious manipulations of the parliamentary system or reinterpretation of existing laws through the courts. Sound familiar?

The American Democratic Party has been the primary host to just such political schemers for the last century and now they have arrived at the point where it is hard to view them as anything less than an organized criminal institution. They know that they have a short period of time as the majority party and that none of their initiatives will stand up to public scrutiny. Therefore we have had the debacle of a stimulus bill, the largest spending spree in all of human history, passed in a rush with NO ONE HAVING READ THE BILL! But hey it worked the first time so the Democrats have passed a budget, and an omnibus bill the same way. Worse, the House of representatives likewise passed the Cap and Trade bill without even having a finished version at the start of the voting debate!

In every instance the idea is to get a law passed before we can find out what it is. Now they intend to target our health care with the same tactics. Mandating that EVERYONE have health care and making citizens pay for the health care of other citizens are NOT the actions of a free country. This is an illegal, unconstitutional coup, of our entire society! Once they intrude into this part of our lives they will have total control over us. Everybody is related to someone who needs major medical care even if they don’t, as of yet, need it themselves. You will become a docile and obedient citizen to make sure they get that care now won’t you? Don’t say politics won’t play a part in deciding who will and who will not receive certain medical procedures. It will. You will obey. Don’t say it can’t happen here. It is happening here. How fast do you think they will try to pass this health care monstrosity? No need to worry, it will NEVER be read unless or until it becomes law.

Which brings me back to the theme of this writing, which is Obama’s entirely consistent view of the Iranian and Honduran situations. The one thing President Obama and his democratic accomplices in congress truly fear are exactly the two things happening in Iran and Honduras. Why would Obama support the Iranian people’s attempt at overthrowing a “legally elected” government when he and the congress are themselves enacting unpopular legislation aimed at giving them greater and permanent control in our own country? As more and more people here are slowly coming to see what Obama has in store for our future, we just might follow Iran’s initiative and rise up against the intolerable actions of the Obama administration…and we are an ARMED citizenry! To support a peoples revolution in Iran may soon foreshadow the one he is provoking here.

Then consider that in Honduras it was the army, with the blessing of the Supreme Court, that acted in defense of their constitution. I challenge the United States military to remember that they too swore an oath. This one:

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Every soldier in the United States military has to swear this oath at the time of every enlistment. You will clearly see that a soldiers first duty is to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. Presidents with dubious citizenship records who exceed constitutional authority may have to be REMOVED by the military. Supreme Court justices who deny constitutional law, such as interpreting that citizens do not have the right to bear arms, may have to be REMOVED. There are reasons the constitution is constructed as it is written. It cannot be legally changed by judicial fiat. Likewise, no president can legally CHANGE America. The attempt, in and of itself, is acceptable grounds for the people, or the military, to act in defense of our country. We have a legal right and a legal obligation to remove and replace government officials who exceed, betray or deny the constitution's words.

President Obama is loathe to support any actions to defend the rights of a people to self-rule under a constitutional government anywhere because he is busy attempting to disassemble our constitutional government here. And he has only just begun.

ANOTHER DEAD CAT ON THE LINE

  • Jun. 21st, 2009 at 12:37 PM

Dead cat on the line – Something suspicious or ‘fishy’ is going on…

Where’s PETA? The Obama administration is massacring “proverbial” cats at a rate that can only be described as an abomination (Obamanation?). This administration will one day be looked upon with the same disdain currently reserved for the likes of William “Boss” Tweed and the corruption of Tammany Hall. In fact, Obama and his Chicago thugs are starting to make Tammany Hall look like the work of amateurs! The latest outrage from the “Corruptocrat in Chief” stems from the blatantly illegal firing of the AmeriCorps Inspector General. Yet another scandal is brewing that has the putrid odor of…a dead cat on the line.

 

AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin was dismissed last week from his position by President Obama who claimed he no longer had confidence in this Inspector General. Just what is it that caused the President to lose his confidence? Competence perchance? Gerald Walpin was guilty of doing his job well, perhaps too well, for his own good. He dared to question the eligibility of the largest and most expensive AmeriCorps program, and also questioned the “propriety” of a settlement made with a mayor, and friend of President Obama, over the misuse of AmeriCorps funds. Essentially, Walpin audited two taxpayer subsidized programs and found a considerable number of violations that included lapses in criminal background checks, misuse of funds and “pervasive problems of eligibility, timekeeping and documentation.”

While investigating the Teaching Fellows Program, run by the research foundation of the City University Of New York (CUNY), Walpin’s office discovered duplicative educational awards of over $16 million and and undocumented costs of $775,000. CUNY refused to return the excess funds and also refused to revise the procedures that led to their drawing of the excessive funds. CUNY also refused to provide documentation that would verify that its AmeriCorps participants even existed! As a result, Walpin reasonably advised AmeriCorps parent organization, The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), to cut off any further funding and to re-examine all past government funding provided to CUNY. Since they have received $75 million in government grants, there is a potential cornucopia of fraud and abuse yet to be discovered.

The second program Walpin’s office challenged was the non-profit St. HOPE academy, run by Obama friend and supporter Kevin Johnson. The former NBA star is now the Democrat mayor of Sacramento, California. In a report released in May 2009, Walpin’s office exposed a settlement that the U.S. Attorney’s Office arranged with Johnson and his deputy, Dana Gonzalez. This settlement reeks of the kind of political cronyism we have come to expect in the short time Obama has been in office. Johnson and Gonzalez exploited $900,000 in AmeriCorps funds for personal and political gain. Based on Walpin’s findings, the CNCS suspended their access to federal funds when it was revealed they had six major violations which included:

1. Using AmeriCorps members to “recruit students for St. HOPE Academy.”

2. Using AmeriCorps members for political activities in connection with the “Sacramento Board of Education election.”

3. Assigning grant-funded AmeriCorps members to perform services “personally benefiting Johnson,” such as “driving him to personal appointments, washing his car, and running personal errands.

4. Improperly using AmeriCorps members to perform non-AmeriCorps clerical and other services that were outside the scope of the grant and therefore were impermissible for the benefit of St. HOPE.

However, in the aftermath of both Johnson’s victory in the mayoral election and President Obama’s election in November, the U.S. Attorney’s Office rushed to arrange a settlement with the new mayor so that he would be able to qualify for even greater funds being made available in the Obama stimulus bill. In April of this year, the new acting U.S. Attorney, Lawrence Brown, settled the case, requiring St. HOPE Academy to pay $423,836.50,  $72,836.50 of which would be paid personally by Mayor Johnson. Walpin complained that he had not been consulted on the settlement.

Walpin charged that AmeriCorps made a “180-degree turnaround” on the circumstances in the case “based on the change of circumstances of Respondent Johnson, who had, after directing St. HOPE’s misuse of the grant funds provided to it and receiving the suspension notice, become Mayor of Sacramento. The suspension was lifted because, as one Corporation official put it, the Corporation could not ‘stand in the way of Sacramento’ — thereby effectively stating that, while Respondent Johnson was not sufficiently responsible to receive further Federal funds in his management position as a grantee, he suddenly became sufficiently responsible when elected Mayor of a city receiving substantially more federal funds…”

Walpin said this was “akin to deciding that, while one should not put a fox in a small chicken coop, it is fine to do so in a large chicken coop!”

Walpin charged that the settlement “sends the signal that acceptance of a grantee or its principal as ‘responsible’ can be purchased in a monetary settlement, overriding all evidence of wrongdoing previously found to warrant a suspension, without the presentation of any contradicting evidence.” -ABC News

According to the law, the President must give Congress 30 days’ notice and he must provide the reason before removing any Inspector General. The 30 day requirement is important because last year Congress passed the Inspectors General Reform Act, which was designed to strengthen protections for Inspector Generals, who are tasked with the responsibility of investigating allegations of waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies. This law was passed to prevent interference by political appointees or the White House. In this Act is a requirement that the President give Congress 30 days’ notice BEFORE dismissing an Inspector General. The firing of Inspector Walpin, in violation of this requirement, is particularly distressing because one of the co-sponsors of the Act was Senator Barack Obama. It is one of the few pieces of legislation to bear his name, and yet one in which he chose to willfully violate!

According to Republican Senator Charles Grassley, a strong advocate of inspectors general, Walpin received a call from the White House Counsel’s office on Wednesday. Walpin was told that he had one hour to resign or be fired. Senate sources say Walpin asked why he was being fired and, according to one source, “the answer that was given was that it’s just time to move on. The President would like to have someone else in that position.” Walpin, displaying the kind of spine we have seen far to little of in resisting this administration’s thuggery, declined to resign.

“I was troubled to learn that Wednesday night your staff reportedly issued an ultimatum to the AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin that he had one hour to resign or be terminated. As you know, Inspectors General were created by Congress as a means to combat waste, fraud, and abuse and to be independent watchdogs ensuring that federal agencies were held accountable for their actions. Inspectors General were designed to have a dual role reporting to both the President and Congress so that they would be free from undue political pressure. His independence is the hallmark of all Inspectors General and is essential so they may operate independently, without political pressure or interference from agencies attempting to keep their failings from public scrutiny.” -Senator Charles Grassley, in a letter to President Obama

According to Grassley’s version of events, the White House first tried to intimidate Walpin out of his job without having to go through the 30-day process. It was only when Walpin refused to resign that the White House notified Congress of the President’s intention to fire Walpin. Why is the president doing this and why is he attempting to do it so quickly? It appears Obama is firing Walpin over his investigation of Kevin Johnson, a prominent supporter of the President. As we have seen with the selection process for closing Chrysler dealerships, not being a supporter of Obama will be swiftly punished. However, “right thinking” Obama supporters, it appears, will be just as quickly defended and rewarded.

For its part, the White House went on to confirm that it decided to fire Inspector General Walpin because of the Kevin Johnson/St. HOPE affair. In a letter sent Thursday night to Senator Grassley, White House counsel Gregory Craig cited a complaint lodged by the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento, Lawrence Brown, accusing Walpin of misconduct in the St. Hope investigation.

The Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California, a career prosecutor who was appointed to his post during the Bush Administration, has referred Mr. Walpin’s conduct for review by the Integrity Committee of the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE). We are aware of the circumstances leading to that referral and of Mr. Walpin’s conduct throughout his tenure and can assure you that that the President’s decision was carefully considered.” -Gregory Craig

In the referral which Craig mentioned, U.S. attorney Lawrence Brown accused Walpin of conducting a biased investigation and seeking “to act as the investigator, advocate, judge, jury and town crier.” Brown was particularly angry that Walpin’s office had talked with the press at various times in the St. HOPE investigation. Brown asked AmeriCorps to investigate Walpin’s behavior.

In his response, Walpin wrote that several of Brown’s points were flat-out wrong and he reveals the process by which St. HOPE will supposedly return about half of the $850,000 grant it received from AmeriCorps. Walpin accused the U.S. attorney’s office of undermining his attempt at “suspension and debarment.” That procedure would prevent the organization from receiving any further federal money.

According to Walpin, the U.S. attorney’s office resisted efforts to get St. HOPE to repay the money.  Even though AmeriCorps inspector general officials had found “six specific instances of diversion and misuse of AmeriCorps grant funds,” and even though Kevin Johnson never “submitted a single fact to dispute those findings,” the U.S. attorney, according to Walpin, insisted that the settlement agreement forbid suspension or debarment.

Further, according to Walpin, even with the settlement agreement as it now exists, there is little hope the government will ever get any of its money back. “As St. HOPE is insolvent, the absence of any obligation imposed on…[Kevin Johnson], and the absence of any guarantee or security to ensure payment, makes the settlement a farce,” Walpin wrote. “Mr. Brown knows,” Walpin concluded, “that the settlement agreement was carefully drafted so that no obligation is imposed on Mr. Johnson to pay to AmeriCorps a single penny of the amount supposedly to be paid to AmeriCorps by St. HOPE.” -Washington Examiner

That was just the first exchange of charges and counter-charges resulting from the White House’s first public statement of its reason for firing Walpin. Unfortunately, President Obama’s charisma was insufficient to satisfy many on Capitol Hill, including Democrats.

“The White House has failed to follow the proper procedure in notifying Congress as to the removal of the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service. The legislation which was passed last year requires that the president give a reason for the removal.” - Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO)

In an attempt to further dig itself into a hole, the White House came up with still another reason for terminating the Inspector General:

“Mr. Walpin was confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other behavior that led the board to question his capacity to serve.” -White House letter

Yea, that clears things right up doesn’t it? Somehow, despite the fact that this alleged behavior occurred at a board meeting, there doesn’t appear to be a witness to corroborate this accusation. Further, the White House requested Inspector General Walpin to give a public presentation two days after the alleged episode of disorientation. Why would you ask a “confused” man to make a public speech? A speaking engagement he apparently made without any incident of “confusion” or “disorientation.” The Obama administration apparently is willing to engage in the politics of personal destruction, complete with mudslinging and false allegations. It is, after all, the Chicago way. When pressed on the matter, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs didn’t back down:

“These were views that were held by many people as part of that board, and certainly the administration stands behind what’s in the letter.” -Robert Gibbs

It’s really quite simple. The AmeriCorps Inspector General accuses a prominent Obama friend and supporter of misusing AmeriCorps grant money. No one has denied or contested these findings. The prominent Obama friend and supporter even agrees to pay back more than $400,000 of that grant money. Although, being insolvent, this almost certainly will not come to pass. The reward for offending Obama’s supporters is a swift termination of the AmeriCorps Inspector General. And, lest we forget, all of the criminals involved here are still eligible to receive future federal dollars! Its good to be king isn’t it Mr. President?

DON’T STAND IN THE WAY OF THIS ADMINISTRATION…

…OH YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT…

BUT DON’T DO IT!

DEAD CAT ON THE LINE

  • Jun. 6th, 2009 at 8:14 PM

There’s a dead cat on the line. I was first acquainted with this old adage in the early 90’s while living in Augusta, Georgia. Apparently it is an old expression referring to the likelihood that something, somewhere is wrong. Very wrong. I thought about this expression after Chrysler  (soon followed by General Motors) announced they would be closing down many of their dealerships. Since these are “franchise” operations that do not represent significant, if any,  expenses for the company, but instead represent streams of revenue, it seemed mighty strange that they would have a desire to close any of them. To the contrary, they should be encouraging as many of these businesses as possible to stay open since they represent the public face of the company during this economic downturn that has created such a malaise for the auto industry. Instead of putting the best face they can to the public, they have curiously chosen to do exactly the opposite and essentially lower their public profile. There certainly seems to be a dead cat on the line…and there is.

There are just too many things that don’t make sense. It isn’t just the unjustifiable business decision to cut operations that don’t affect the costs of the company’s business. It is also the process of selecting the dealerships to be closed. It is particularly suspicious that many of the dealerships selected for elimination are among the most successful operations within the Chrysler network. Many of them have been Chrysler and Dodge dealers for decades. What possible justification could they have for closing down successful dealerships that represent the very lifeblood of their company’s existence? Not only are they choosing to reduce the flow of cash into their company, they are doing so in the midst of a recession that has been particularly disastrous to the auto industry. Is somebody missing a cat?

Some of the dealerships that got the axe are telling stories that raise considerable doubt that there were ever any economic reasons for this process and that there was, instead, a political motivation. One dealership slated for closing in Alvin, Texas, increased its new car sales 50% in the first four months of 2009! How can you rationalize closing a dealer who is increasing sales while in the throes of the worst recession since the 1970’s? As it turns out, this story is not unique. Successful and highly profitable dealerships have all too often been the ones selected for elimination. Smell a dead cat?

As you dig into this you find that there is evidence to suggest that dealers selected for elimination tended to be ones who are affiliated with, or donated money to, the Republican party and its candidates. Coincidence? When the the list of 789 closing franchises is compared to the list of  political donors making contributions in the November 2008 election, less than 10 percent gave to Democrats while 90 percent gave substantial sums to Republican candidates. The franchise owners selected for dealership elimination contributed over $450,000 to Republican presidential candidates and the GOP, while $7,970 was donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and $2,200 was given to John Edwards’ campaign. By comparison, Barack Obama received a mere $450 in donations! Dead cat found.

Some of the dealers on the hit list jump right out at you:

“Vern Buchanan is a Republican Congressman from the Tampa Bay area. Robert Archer is the son of former Republican Congressman Bill Archer. John Culberson, a libertarian-leaning Conservative, is now the Congressman for that West Houston District. He was heavily supported in his election efforts by the Archers Family. Additionally, James Crowley, owner of a Chrysler Dealership in Escondido, California is on the list to be closed. Crowley is a big backer of libertarian-leaning Republican Cong. John Campbell of Orange County.”

The list is heavy with influential Republicans and libertarians. Another name on the list is Ray Huffines, who owns a large dealership in the Metro-Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The Huffines family have been major contributors to Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) over the years…- American Thinker

Republican candidates – and Other GOP contributors include Michael Maroone, a dealer in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He gave $20,000 to the Florida Republican Party, $12,700 to the Republican National Committee and $2,300 to presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Likewise, Menomonee Falls, Wis., dealer Russ Darrow and his family gave $19,000 to the Republican National Committee, $6,029 to the Wisconsin Republican Party, $2,300 to John McCain and $1,000 to Rudy Giuliani. Bedford, Texas, dealer Eric Grubbs gifted $11,500 to Mike Huckabee, $4,600 to Rudy Giuliani, $6,500 to Texas Republican Congressional Committee, $1,085 to the RNC and $500 to National Republican Congressional Committee. Midlothian, Va., dealer Max Pearson donated $18,000 to National Republican Senatorial Committee, $6,900 to the RNC, $6,900 to John McCain, $3,600 to Virginia Republican Party and $1,000 to National Republican Congressional Committee.

The list continues with more than 60 political donors who are scheduled to lose their franchises – many of whom gave thousands of dollars to only seven dealers who contributed a total of less than $12,000 to the Democratic Party and its candidates. -World Net Daily

Another blogger, Doug Ross, also reviewed patterns on the closure list and noticed the trend.

“I took all dealer owners whose names appeared more than once on the list,” he wrote. “And, of those who contributed to political campaigns, every single one had donated almost exclusively to GOP candidates.”

Jim Anderer, another of the disposed dealers, told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that he doesn’t understand why Chrysler is shutting down his Long Island dealership because, he claims, it is quite profitable with sales volume ranking in the top 2 percent of the company.

“They won’t tell us. They seem to be running for cover right now because they won’t give us a solid explanation. They come up with all these reasons, but none of them seem to make sense. This is insanity. The government is stealing my business. And they’re telling me there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Anderer also said Chrysler told him they want to combine their stores and that dealers cost the manufacturer money to stay in business.

“In the dealers that they cut, there seems to be no cohesive way that they did it. There was no process that you could put your finger on and say, ‘Hey, we cut 25 percent of the lowest performing dealers.’ They didn’t do that. Nobody will give us a real clear explanation of the formula that they came up with.”

George C. Joseph, a Dodge dealer for over 35 years who employs over 50 people in his Melbourne, Florida franchise claims his operation is financially profitable, yet he too was selected for closing. Likewise he is not happy about it:

“On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them. My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009.”

He later went on to say that without his franchise, his facility can no longer perform any service warranty work. This even includes vehicles sold by his establishment while still a licensed franchise operator! This he says has the effect of rendering his $300,000 parts inventory worthless. Also, Chrysler is not required to buy back tools, parts or…vehicles from from the dealers it has terminated under these negotiated bankruptcy rules. The Obama administration, without any constitutional authority, has intervened and negotiated these terms in typical Chicago gangland fashion. The dealers have been made an offer they can’t refuse.

“This is a private business, not a government entity. This is beyond imagination! My business is being stolen from me through no fault of our own. We did nothing wrong.” - George C. Joseph

Chrysler was forced into bankruptcy by the Obama administration who took it upon themselves, with no legal authority, to manage the distribution of assets. He forced a deal that bypassed the bondholders, who actually invested money in the company, and gave a preferential deal to the United Auto Workers that made them the majority owners of the company. This, in and of itself, was nothing less than a political payoff to a union that generously supported him in the election. The decision making process that is closing down these dealerships appears to be a blatant political hit against the president’s enemies. No democrat ever need raise the spectre of Richard Nixon and his enemies list ever again!

“It became clear to us that Chrysler does not see the wisdom of terminating 25 percent of its dealers. It really wasn’t Chrysler’s decision. They are under enormous pressure from the President’s automotive task force.” - Leonard Bellavia, of Bellavia Gentile & Associates,
who represents some of the terminated dealers

According to one of the discarded dealers Chrysler is already shopping for dealers to open franchises left by the eliminated dealers. Now why would you do that? This is just a political massacre designed to clear the landscape of political “undesirables” and replace them with dealers that meet with this administration’s approval. We have seen this particular brand of socialism before in 1930’s Germany. All of these actions are being done out in the open and all of them are totally illegal. Where is the media? Now we are starting to hear stories about how THEY are scared to offend this administration for fear of reprisals against them. Divine Justice, perhaps, but it does not bode well for our future.

“So we are acting as reluctant shareholders, because that is the only way to help GM succeed. What we are not doing, what I have no interest in doing, is running GM.” -President Barack Obama

Hot on the heels of the great Chrysler swindle, our president has yet again authored a bankruptcy to his own political advantage. Unlike the Chrysler deal, he has chosen to give the United States government 60% ownership of the restructured GM. And why not? GM is a considerably more valuable asset than Chrysler so why not keep that one for himself. Like the Chrysler deal, the secured bondholders were illegally placed behind the government and the UAW in the division of assets and ownership. Of course GM has been ordered to close hundreds of dealerships as well. Does anyone believe the GM closings are any less politically motivated than the Chrysler ones? He claims he does not want to run GM even as he is doing exactly that. He’s getting away with it too! What are we going to do about it?

This is a totally illegal nationalization of a private industry. However it sits well next to his ever growing collection of banks and insurance companies and is soon to be joined by the health care system and, perhaps, California. Is it any wonder such luminaries of leftist evangelical socialism are turning green with envy? Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro may soon find themselves to be more conservative than President Obama!

“Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right.” – Hugo Chavez

There’s a dead cat on the line alright…

THE POLITICS OF SCIENCE

  • May. 30th, 2009 at 6:31 PM

Scientists, not unlike journalists, are arrogant people. No, its not because they are, as some would have you believe, smarter than the rest of us. It really has more to do with their perceptions of their reputations. Science, we are repeatedly told, is concerned with facts and data and therefore it is supposedly immune to the sort of criticism leveled at the likes of politicians and clergymen. Unfortunately, scientists are, in fact, human and therefore susceptible to the same biases and temptations that befall the rest of us. Is it then shocking to find out that scientists would cast their “precious” reputations before swine and bias their research in favor of a particularly desired outcome, especially if by doing so they would gain both fame and the financing needed to continue their pursuits? Of course not.

 

The fact is, we have seen politics invaded by science all too often lately. Or is it the other way around? Sometimes it can get really hard to tell who is the whore and who is the customer. We have seen this a lot lately in the political discourse over so-called man made global warming. There are billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars at stake over public policy that is being debated to combat what is essentially a scientifically superficial fraud. The legislation now being considered in congress is nothing more than a redistributionist scheme to extract wealth from the private sector and place it in the control of the government. More scientists are coming out every day against the idea that any change in the climate is due to the actions of mankind or, more importantly, that any action taken by mankind could or should reverse it. Yet, experts who contest the concept of man-made global warming are not even being allowed to bring their arguments into the Democratically controlled congress’s debates on the issue. The game is being rigged and a sympathetic media is going along with it. There is still hope that this Cap and Trade swindle will be stifled by congressmen from energy producing states acting in their own self-interest. But who knows? In Obama’s world anything that generates economy destroying debt is seen as the “collective good.”

And how about the fiasco over embryonic stem cell research? We recently watched as the current president excoriated the previous one as being unfriendly to science because he failed to fund new lines of embryonic stem cell research. This, in spite of the fact that embryonic stem cell research has been a considerable failure compared to the research being done with adult stem cells. This entire episode is nothing more than a political sideshow in the continuing debate over abortion and the definition of an embryo as human life. The politics and the science is being intertwined into an unnecessary moral dilemma. One that, from a purely scientific point of view, should be resolved with the successes of adult stem cell research. But why put an end to a good fight?

It should therefore come as no surprise to find out that the politically motivated science of progressive social engineers has yet again been derailed from its devious and deceptive tracks. This time it is the myth that homosexuality is genetically inherited that is coming unravelled. Yes, you read that correctly, one of the progressive’s favorite lies is being scientifically destroyed. And not a moment to soon.

Many people today believe that homosexuality is part of a homosexual’s construction from the moment of conception. This idea that homosexuality is both a genetic and permanent condition has been promoted by both homosexual activists and a fawning media. One example often promoted by the media is this from a brochure issued by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1998 that stated:

“There is considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person’s sexuality.”

There is only one problem with that. It is not, and never has been, true. The truth is that such statements are, and always have been, part of a massive homosexual propaganda campaign designed to deceive the public into accepting homosexual behavior as natural and normal. It was neither, and many of us have said so all along. However, by taking control of the debate and framing homosexuality as non-choosable and inherited, it became possible to refer to anyone who opposes the homosexual agenda as a bigot. A nice weapon to wield if you can get away with it. Unfortunately the real science of genetic research was always unwilling to go as far as the propaganda, as evidenced by this from Science Magazine in 1994:

Time and time again, scientists have claimed that particular genes or chromosomal regions are associated with behavioral traits, only to withdraw their findings when they were not replicated. “Unfortunately,” says Yale’s [Dr. Joel] Gelernter, “it’s hard to come up with many” findings linking specific genes to complex human behaviors that have been replicated. “…All were announced with great fanfare; all were greeted unskeptically in the popular press; all are now in disrepute.”

In other words, it is not as simple as the journalists and activists implied. They had a result they desired and proceeded to look for some science to back it up. In the meantime they were willing to stretch the inconclusive results into unsubstantiated data that would support their desired conclusion. That conclusion being that homosexuals are born and not the product of any “environmental” influences. How damning it is then that the APA, after years of research deliberately looking for this mythical “gay gene,” would be forced to change their statement on homosexuality to this:

“There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles. …”

Although they declined to reveal the particulars of the research that made them change their position it is resoundingly clear that all efforts to prove that homosexuality is biologically and genetically transmitted have failed. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GAY GENE!

The MAJORITY of scientists now believe that homosexuality is attributable to a combination of psychological, social and biological factors, as the following statements on the matter can attest:

“Many scientists share the view that sexual orientation is shaped for most people at an early age through complex interactions of biological, psychological and social factors.” -American Psychological Association

“At this point, the most widely held opinion [on causation of homosexuality is that multiple factors play a role.” -Simon LeVay, “Gay Brain” researcher

“Any human behavior is going to be the result of complex intermingling of genetics and environment. It would be astonishing if it were not true for homosexuality.” -Dennis McFadden, University Of Texas neuroscientist

“I know of no one in the field who argues that homosexuality can be explained without reference to environmental factors.” -Steven Goldgerg, Sociologist

“If homosexuality was caused by genetic mechanisms, their children would be more likely to choose same-sex interaction. But they aren’t more likely, so therefore it can’t be genetic.” - Douglas Abbott, University of Nebraska

All of this information is documented by The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). NARTH also has this to say about a term often used by proponents of homosexuality: “homophobia”:

“The term ‘homophobia’ is often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds. Technically, however, the term actually denotes a person who has a phobia – or irrational fear – of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled ‘homophobia.’”

Homosexuality makes for strange bedfellows. The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 would provide special protections to homosexuals but leave Christian ministers open to prosecution should their teachings be linked to any subsequent offense, by anyone, against a homosexual. However, if we take this new Hate Crimes legislation to its natural conclusion, could not scientists who argue that homosexuality is not an inborn trait be considered guilty of violating the Hate Crimes legislation also? Homosexuals consider ANY criticism of them as hate speech so certainly if they decry the words of God from the Bible they must assuredly decry the words of scientists who fail to support their agenda. Something to consider as well is why we should allow such legislation to pass at all as it clearly is aimed at protecting behavior and not people. Perverse and un-natural behavior at that!

According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center For People and the Press, attitudes about homosexuals have changed significantly over the last 22 years. This is especially true among people who consider themselves to be religious. There is a trend toward more tolerance towards homosexuals and the idea of homosexual marriage. This can be entirely attributed to the homosexual activists and their use of propaganda to deceive the public into viewing their “plight” as a civil rights issue. It is not. Their entire campaign has been built on deliberately misleading, and at times, entirely fabricated science. These lies are now being exposed. There is nothing virtuous about tolerating, supporting or endorsing homosexuals or homosexual behavior. If you are one of those who were led to believe that homosexuals are born that way, then you are a victim of this deceptive propaganda machine. Be a victim no more.

All of this has to be devastating to homosexual advocates, and it would be, if the media would report any of it. Like the also less that scientifically valid theory of Evolution, some science is too politically important to allow the facts to interfere with the agenda. The theory of evolution is nothing more than a cog in the progressive religion of “multiculturalism” that is used to justify every social engineering scheme the socialist left favors. Genetic homosexuality, by contrast, is considered to be a poison to the only religion that can compete with theirs…Christianity. And to think these are the people who argue that they favor science over religion…

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then somewhere (hell, perchance?) Joseph Goebbels is basking in celebration. Certainly the infamous propaganda minister for The Third Reich has to be proud of the Obama administration’s bold use of his tried and true tactics of mass deception. Coordinated and “manufactured” stories and pseudo-events pour through the media daily, all in deliberate lockstep with the “Community Organizer In Chief’s” agenda to remake Amerika into a socialist/fascist state more susceptible to deception and, ultimately, control.

There are considerably more examples than this but I think you get the idea. All of these stories were “supplied” by an organization called “Families USA.” Actually they are nothing more than one of many liberal/progressive advocacy groups working under the larger umbrella of something that calls itself the “Progressive States Network.” And who, praytell, would you imagine that they receive their orders from? Why none other than our good friends at ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and the SEIU (Service Employees International Union).

Incidentally, aren’t these the same people who are attempting to backdoor engineer the so-called “fairness doctrine” under the concept of “localism?” Yet none of these stories that appeared all across the country in “local” media sources were actually generated locally. Oh, the hypocrisy of the progressive/socialist left!

“I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country.” -Barack Obama

President Obama made this claim during the campaign that got him elected. Now he has initiated the propaganda campaign that he hopes will help him to fulfill that promise. Unfortunately, as with most propaganda campaigns, accuracy, honesty and truth take a back-seat to partisan objectives. The mainstream media, an active participant in the Obama propaganda machine, continues to tout the figure of 47 million Americans without health insurance. However, as always, this figure is both misleading and distorted. Data from the Census Bureau reveals:

• 9.5 million people are illegal aliens.
• 8.3 million uninsured people are those who make between $50,000 and $74,999 per year and choose not to purchase insurance.
• 8.7 million uninsured people are those who make over $75,000 a year and choose not to purchase insurance.

Not particularly the kind of uninsured “victims” that the American people should be enthusiastic enough to overhaul their entire medical apparatus just to rescue are they? Why do so many people CHOOSE not to get health insurance that they CAN afford? Because 60%  reported being in “excellent health or very good health” and purposefully decided not to buy insurance, a not unreasonable choice. Once we subtract these willfully uninsured from the original number we are left with approximately 20 million uninsured, that less than 7% of the population! Does 93% of the population really want to jeopardize the best health care system in the world over something that is most definitely NOT a crisis? There are ways to help the remaining uninsured that do not involve such a radical response as this president is proposing. The “crisis” in health care is false. You want to improve the system? Put limits on the judgements one can recieve for a malpractice/negligence lawsuit. However, since almost EVERYONE in government is a lawyer, and they tend to profit from such litigation, I wouldn’t hold my breath for such tort reform.

The new U.S. Propaganda ministry (a.k.a. the mainstream media) doesn’t satisfy itself with the mere misrepresentation of facts. Deliberately manufactured events and photo opportunities are just as useful in portraying our new president as something other than what he is. A recent “surprise visit” (c’mon “Clockwork Orange” fans) by the president to visit the troops in Iraq was plastered in the media all around the world. If you believed your lying eyes you thought the troops were elated to see the president. They were cheering and gathering around him in much the same way as they did for his predecessor who was very popular with them. The Associated Press expressed it thusly:

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama went for the defining television shot by capping his first extended foreign tour with a surprise visit to Iraq. He got it – pictures of hundreds of U.S. troops cheering wildly as he told them it was time for the Iraqis to take charge of their own future. The war-zone photo opportunity produced a stunning show of appreciation for Obama from military men and women who have made great sacrifices, many serving repeated tours in a highly unpopular war. - AP

But alas, you didn’t see what you thought you saw. As it turns out the entire event was no “surprise visit” at all, but was instead a thoroughly planned and orchestrated event. When the curtain is pulled back we learn that all of the soldiers that were invited to greet the president on this fabricated “surprise visit” were, in fact, questioned beforehand so that only those who revealed themselves as having voted for Obama would be in attendance.

That wonderful cheering welcome that President Obama received with his unscheduled surprise visit to the troops in Iraq, was entirely a staged event. The troops were interrogated beforehand, with those military members who had voted for President Obama given identical digital cameras and placed in front of the media cameras covering the event. - Minority Report

Uh-Oh…

A sergeant who was there explained the subterfuge. “We were pre-screened, asked by officials ‘Who voted for Obama?’, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.” - Minority Report

Isn’t it strange that all these soldiers managed to have their cameras with them when the president “surprised” them with his visit? And don’t they all look remarkably similar? Isn’t that curious considering the plethora of different cameras there are on the market? But really, has this administration shown any competence at ANYTHING? Why would we presume they would be all that good at deception?

Do you remember that episode of the classic TV show “The Brady Bunch” where Greg Brady was made into a rock star because he fit the suit that the record company already had? They even hired girls to attack him everywhere he went so he would look like a star. Barack Obama’s presidency is playing out much the same way. Everything is controlled and contrived, and he is not going to deviate from the pre-arranged plan. It worked to get him elected and as long as he keeps the mainstream media in his pocket, he hopes he can continue to manipulate public opinion through these deceptions. And boy does he have the media in his pocket!! Consider these recently revealed facts from the Center For Media & Public Affairs:

Total network news coverage for the first 50 days:

Obama 27 hours- 44 minutes– Reporting 58% Positive
Bush 7 hours- 42 minutes — Reporting 33% Positive
Clinton 15 hours- 2 minutes– reporting 44% Positive

Obama’s news coverage for the first 50 days:

CBS 10 hours 46 minutes — Reporting 58% Positive
NBC 9 hours 38 minutes — Reporting 61% Positive
ABC 7 hours 20 minutes — Reporting 57% Positive

Fox- Bret Baier 10 hours 24 minutes ( from the first 30 minutes of the show)–
Reporting 13% Positive

I would like to say these numbers are surprising but, unfortunately, we all knew this to be true. However what IS surprising is how blatantly and shamelessly journalists have sold their integrity. And for what? Like Esau in the famous Bible story, it would appear to be for food! Well, maybe not for food but certainly the transaction did take place over dinner. A recent report from Howard Kurtz revealed that David Bradley of the Atlantic Monthly has been, for over a year, regularly hosting dinners that allow certain elitist journalists to mingle with A list members of the Obama campaign and administration. These exclusive dinners are ongoing even as his campaign has become his administration. Who are these elitist journalists that merit invitations to these exclusive dinners?

“Among those in regular attendance are David Brooks and Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Gene Robinson and Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post, NBC’s David Gregory, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, PBS’s Gwen Ifill, the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdum, former Time managing editor Walter Isaacson and staffers from Bradley’s Atlantic and National Journal, including Ron Brownstein, Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan Rauch.” - Washington Post

And you wonder how Obama gets such favorable reporting!! Don’t be too impressed by all those polls that show Obama to have a high approval rating either. Numbers and statistics are even easier to manipulate than journalists…and they eat less! Barack Obama first conquered the media and effectively made them into his propaganda ministry. They have a lot invested in him. They need him to succeed to cover their own asses. Those polls that originate from media sources reflect a higher opinion of Obama than the more respectable (and accurate) polls used to track elections. He is not nearly as well approved of as is being reported. But remember, according to the media in Germany during WW II, they were always winning the war, even as the American and Russian armies were destroying their country. When your entire government is built on a foundation of deception and manipulation, you cannot ever abandon those methods. Certainly Joseph Goebbels would approve of Obama’s methods. But then again, both Joseph Goebbels AND Barack Obama are…SOCIALISTS!!

Der Angriff (meaning “The Attack” in English) was a newspaper founded in 1927 by Joseph Goebbels.

HOMOSEXUALS AND HUGUENOTS

  • Apr. 11th, 2009 at 8:07 PM

Well, it has happened again. In spite of the fact that the overwhelming majority of citizens throughout the country disapprove of the legalization of homosexual marriage, those who know better have forced it upon us by judicial fiat. This time it was in Iowa, the veritable heart of America, where homosexuals were rescued from the oppression of unsanctioned marriages. Couple this with the Obama administration’s desire to declare homosexuals to be a superior and protected class of citizens through new and expanded hate crimes legislation, and you have the makings of a disaster the likes of which we have seen before. Yes, we have seen this before. You see, our homosexual friends are guilty of behaving like…Christians! I bet you weren’t expecting that, huh? Read on that you may understand that being “right” always comes with a price…

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, says his state’s Supreme Court actually confessed to being guilty of “activism” in its opinion today paving the way for same-sex “marriage” in the state. Iowa’s high court said same-sex marriages “could begin” in as little as three weeks, joining Massachusetts and Connecticut as the three states formally recognizing homosexual duos. King was interviewed by Greg Corombos of Radio America/WND about the decision. “The opinion strikes me as very much an activist reach to overturn the will of the people of the state of Iowa,” King said. “This turns on its head the entire composition of human history and law.” He called it the “most activist opinion that I have every read.”

Citing the court’s boasts about how it had led in the fight against slavery and for women’s rights, and equating same-sex “marriage” with those issues, King called the statement “a self-assigned confession of activists. It’s the will of the people that’s supposed to lead the way,” he said. “The constitution is not supposed to change unless it’s changed by the people. The ruling should “infuriate” every Iowan, he said. “I don’t think Iowans have changed their opinions. If they did they would have changed the law.”

Once again we see a minority group using the courts to tyrannically impose its will on a population that would otherwise never accede to their demands. In fact a poll released at the same time of this ruling shows that more than 62 percent of Iowans oppose homosexual marriage, and fewer than 30 percent support it, though about half of those opposed would support civil unions. Unfortunately the court ruled that civil unions weren’t an acceptable alternative. Why? Because this is about being “right,” and these activist courts are convinced it is their job to make things “right.” Never mind that it is their job to interpret the law, not “fix” it. By linking homosexual marriage to the fight against slavery the court is claiming to be operating on some higher moral authority that seems to exist above the law. One could make the argument that this higher moral authority could come from God except for the fact that we know his feelings on homosexuality.

Nevertheless, in spite of all this, as always, the Obama administration stands poised to make things even worse:

President Obama and Vice President Biden will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation, expand hate crimes protection by passing the Matthew Shepard Act, and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice’s Criminal Section. - White House Website

Yes, the infamous Matthew Shepherd Act, whereby homosexuals are granted status as a “protected” class of citizen as though there was something that was innately special about being a homosexual. Worse still is the implication that protecting them is something of a priority over protecting the rest of us.

All hate crimes legislation is a direct threat to both our religious liberties and our right to free speech. In other countries where these kind of laws have been implemented, pastors and Christians have been arrested and fined for speaking what the Biblical scriptures teach about homosexuality. There is even a recently passed state law in Colorado that makes it a crime to hand out Christian literature that speaks against this lifestyle. It can happen here. It is happening here.

I cannot help but recognize the similarity between the radical agenda that is driving the push to legalize homosexual marriage, and a previous time of “manufactured” intolerance. As you will see, we have been here before. Journey back in time to sixteenth century France and the conflict between the Protestants (called Huguenots) and the dominant Roman Catholic Church. You will find that those driving the homosexual agenda have learned a lot from their Huguenot brothers about how to force themselves, and their agenda, on an unwilling   majority. However, they seem to be oblivious to the consequences of those actions. There is a price to be paid for being “right.”

The Protestant Reformation was fueled by the unprecedented access to Biblical scriptures that resulted from both the invention of the printing press and the translating of the Bible into the various languages of the European Christians. “Sola Scriptura” (by Scripture alone) was one of the mantras of the Reformation. This doctrine maintains that Scripture, as contained in the Bible, is the only authority for the Christian in matters of faith, life and conduct. According to this doctrine, the teachings and traditions of the church are to be completely subordinate to the Scriptures. Roman Catholicism, on the other hand, holds Scripture and Tradition to be of the same inspired Deposit of Faith. Men such as Martin Luther and John Calvin began espousing interpretations of the Bible that clashed with the traditional teachings of Roman Catholicism.

Because the societies of the time were built around monarchist governments that were dominated by Roman Catholics, the Huguenots did not enjoy many, if any, privileges to freely express their religious beliefs. In the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church the Huguenots were heretics and were regularly punished as such. As a result the Huguenots felt they were forced to pursue a course of violence in order to obtain the privilege to worship as they wished. This manifested itself through several “wars of religion” throughout the first half of the sixteenth century. These wars led to many concessions that earned both the right to worship in their own establishments and to freely be recognized for their beliefs without fear of reprisals for heresy. However, once the Huguenots had earned tolerance for their belief system, tolerance soon was not enough. Why? Because they knew they were “right.” As I’m sure our homosexual friends would agree, being “right” entitles you to more than just tolerance. So more was sought.

These were very religious people in a very religious time. They felt that the scriptures validated their belief system over the more “pagan” traditions of the Roman Catholicism, therefore they felt it was their Christian duty to impose their beliefs on the Catholics and force them to admit the error of their ways. And so it was that the Huguenots, always in the minority, attacked Roman Catholicism with both words and violence. The Huguenots took to the practice of Iconoclasm, the deliberate destruction of Catholic symbols, statues and churches. Does this remind you of any behavior you have been seeing out of the aggressive homosexual advocates? They too have been trespassing into church services to disrupt them with their agenda as well as pursuing vandalism against their property in the wake of their failure to win enough votes to legalize homosexual marriage in California. Quite blatant behavior for minorities wouldn’t you say?

The Catholics of the sixteenth century were, of course, enraged at this violation of their establishments and the defacing of their sacred symbols. Their traditions were being trampled upon even as the monarchy insisted they show “tolerance” and resist the temptation to strike back. However this was an untenable situation. The Huguenots were no longer content to seek tolerance for their belief system and the right to practice it. Their arrogance demanded that the Catholics acknowledge that they were “right.”

Positions hardened on both sides of the religious divide. Catholic militants began urging the king to outlaw any expression of Protestant faith. Many wanted the Huguenots to pay for the trouble they caused with their lives. Meanwhile, the Huguenots proudly justified their actions by claiming they had the right to resist “illegitimate authority.” Many of you will immediately recognize that as the primary justification for the later American Revolution. In both instances the king rightly recognized a threat to his authority. Unlike in the American Revolution however, the Huguenots were clearly a minority who was wearing out its welcome.

The monarchy, for its part, was still attempting to moderate the dispute. Though largely dominated by Catholics, it was official policy to show tolerance to the Huguenots in hopes of trying to maintain some influence with their leaders in the hope they could reign in the radicals. Contrary to how history has portrayed her, Catherine De Medici was very much in favor of granting Huguenots concessions in hopes of maintaining the social order. Unfortunately she would end up receiving much of the blame for the event that was about to unfold.

Tensions were raised to a fever pitch when the King Charles IX indicated he would consider sending military aid to a Huguenot army that was invading the Netherlands. In May of 1572 Dutch Protestants were in revolt against Catholic King Philip II of Spain. The majority of the French population naturally despised the idea of allying with heretics against a Catholic King. Worse still, was Charles’ plan to marry his sister to a Protestant Prince, Henry of Bourbon. In the age of monarchies marriages between to conflicting factions were often used to ease the tensions between warring parties. This could in many ways be seen as the equivalent of homosexuals today using the courts to circumvent the will of the people. For the Catholics of sixteenth century France, this mixed marriage would turn out to be that one straw of tolerance more than the camel’s back could bear. There would be no more.

The wedding was to be a very public affair. All the more enraging to those who valued their Catholic traditions. It drew huge numbers of Huguenots to Paris to celebrate what the Catholics viewed as legitimizing heresy. Like a modern day gay pride parade, the Huguenots would be intolerably arrogant and flagrantly flaunting themselves through the streets. Unlike a modern day gay pride parade however, almost no Huguenots left Paris alive.

August 25, 1572 was one of the bloodiest days in Western history. Perhaps the bloodiest one to not involve a military engagement. Forever known as the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, the death toll remains a matter of dispute. Many claim it was in the neighborhood of 30,000 but some claim as many as 100,000 were murdered. This was largely due to the fact that the killings went on for months. I will leave the details of the massacre to some other essay. An attempted assassination of Protestant Admiral Coligny is alleged to have sparked it. Rumors of a Huguenot army outside of Paris were prevalent at the time leading to a belief the King ordered a pre-emptive strike. Of course the Huguenots claim that the massacre was initiated on the Kings orders and many allege an ambush was planned all along.

What was unique about it was how enthusiastically the general population of France took to violence in a manner almost resembling a festival. As word spread of the massacre, the population considered itself to have permission, if not a duty, to rid themselves of the infestation of heresy. The Huguenots paid for their arrogance. Many of the victims were forced to recant their faith or recite Catholic prayers. Infants were “baptized” in the blood of their parents. Pregnant women had their babies cut from their wombs. Looting and Pillaging were common. In a word…anarchy.

Now before anyone gets the wrong idea let me state I would in no way argue the massacre in 1572 was justified, and though I am making a connection between the arrogance of the Huguenots and the arrogance of modern day homosexuals, I am not suggesting that such a response is in order today. American society allows a lot more options for people to express their displeasures than sixteenth century France. However I would contend that a minority that does not enjoy widespread popular acceptance ought not to try to bully a majority that  values its traditional way of life.

Homosexuals often try to link their “efforts” to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. But unlike homosexuals, Martin Luther King Jr.’s movement always enjoyed the popular support of the majority of Americans. That is not now, nor has it ever been, true of the movement to legalize homosexual marriage. Remember the poll that showed only 30% of Iowans would support such a thing. Yet the homosexuals found a way around them. In 1572 The Catholics stood in support of “traditional” values and the Huguenots stood against an “illegitimate authority.” Both were convinced they were “right.” Now the citizens of Iowa can see their traditional values trampled on BY an “illegitimate authority.” Homosexuals enjoy all the rights and protections of every other American citizen. That homosexuals are some sort of persecuted minority is nothing more than a fabrication of their own making. They pursue the legalization of homosexual marriage out of an arrogant desire to make all of us acknowledge they are “right.” They pursue “hate crimes” legislation merely to put criticism of their lifestyle out of reach.

The problem with the advocates of homosexual marriage is that they demand the dissolution of the standard of marriage as being between one man and one woman, and replace it with…nothing! The absence of a standard definition for marriage will only lead to further insistence on toleration for the intolerable on down the line. What the homosexuals are advocating is anarchy. Anarchy always breeds violence. The movement for the legalization of homosexual marriage can’t claim any higher motivation than selfishness. They have manufactured an issue where there should be none, and have the audacity to claim their critics to be “haters” and “intolerant.” The arrogance of this minority, in demanding that the rest of us bow down and accept that they are “right,” is astounding. This cannot possibly end well for them.

WHEN PARASITES STRIKE...AGAIN

  • Mar. 14th, 2009 at 7:45 PM

You can’t make this stuff up. Even as the American taxpayer is being awakened from his slumber of tolerance for the outrage that is the Obama agenda, the “Parasite in Chief’s” faithful supporters insist on demanding their “right” to the fruits of other’s labor. The John Galt and “Tea Party” phenomena that are sweeping across America is sadly, if unsurprisingly, not being reported by the mainstream media who seem to think only the rage of the “entitlement” class is newsworthy. Yet what the media fail to perceive is the amount of anger that these so called “civil disobedience” demonstrations provoke in the Americans whose work and assets must be taxed in order to satiate the appetite of ACORN and their socially engineered parasites. Read for yourself and watch your anger rise as well…

LOS ANGELES — A school board meeting turned into a display of civil disobedience Tuesday as about 50 educators refused to leave, creating a brief standoff with police, who refused to make any arrests in the presence of media.

The members of ACORN and United Teachers Los Angeles — all wearing bright red shirts — entered the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education meeting on Tuesday afternoon, sat down and began chanting. Police said the protesters were staging an illegal occupation of a public building. The district said no arrests would occur as long as members of media were in building.

UTLA President A.J. Duffy approached the speakers’ lectern and told the board, “You know why we’re here. You know I’m not leaving this rostrum. You know I’m going to keep talking.” As he spoke several teachers sat on the floor in front of the board and held up signs saying “Students lose when we lose teachers, No layoffs” as the crowd began chanting.

Board President Monica Garcia repeatedly asked Duffy to sit down, but he kept speaking. The microphone was turned off, but Duffy continued to speak and the chanting continued. Garcia then announced that the “disturbance has interrupted our meeting to the point where the orderly conduct of this meeting is not feasible.”

There go our buddies in ACORN again. Its good that we have them looking out for our welfare…oops did I say w e l f a r e? Pardon me.
ACORN’s shakedown soldiers consider actions like occupying a public school board’s meeting room to be an act of “civil disobedience.” In truth it is just another arrogant display of a parasitic need to inefficiently consume resources that can be better used elsewhere. In this case they are trying to preserve employees of a teacher’s union in the face of dwindling tax revenues. The school board was merely attempting to do their job of deciding where to allocate the funds that are available. Unfortunately that involves cutting costs, firing teachers and living in the real world where tax revenue is not unlimited. Enter the parasites of the teachers union and their allies ACORN to demand that they be preserved at someone elses expense.

There are reasons why zoo’s and national parks have signs prominently displayed that say “please don’t feed the animals.” Once the animals get accustomed to the handouts, not only do they become dependent on them, they will actually get violent in making demands for them. We are seeing this “animal” behavior in the actions of ACORN and their fellow “community organizers.”

As surely as a hookworm believes that a dog exists just to further his own survival, so too do teachers unions and community activist groups like ACORN believe that schools and the government exist solely to provide them with the financial sustenance they need to survive and thrive. It is a complete misconception of the arrangement between the taxpayer and the receivers of the government’s largesse. In this case the misconception is abetted by the failure of the schools to educate anyone to know any better. A marvelously self-reciprocating system.

This misconception comes from the belief that things like government jobs and checks are somehow an entitlement. How did they come to view it that way? We fed the animals, that’s how. Teachers unions are no more concerned with the education of children than ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is concerned with reforming communities. The goal of the teacher’s union is only to increase their membership, not test scores. They are just parasites whose sole preoccupation is to educate, and thereby procreate, more parasites. These are the proceeds from our “investment” (our President’s term for this sort of social engineering) in forty years of the “war on poverty.” Do you feel cheated? Well you should, if for no reason other than the ingratitude and revisionist history the beneficiaries of these “investments” have construed. Nowhere was this better demonstrated than during a recent exchange between Bill O’Reilly and Dr. Marc Lamont Hill:

“The problem here is that you won’t acknowledge that for the last 20 years, we’ve had wealth redistribution. It’s just gone from the middle class and the poor to the rich.” - Dr. Marc Lamont Hill

Therein hides the lie that the American political left feeds to its all too willing victims. The idea that capitalists, industrialists and other assorted “rich” people acquired their wealth FROM the poor and the middle class. Nothing could be farther from the truth, but such “misconceptions” placate a desire for those who need an excuse for their life’s circumstances. It allows them to perceive themselves as a “victim,” as well as attach the blame to someone whom they can then extract some form of reparation. In the case of the current administration, income inequality is the justification for redistributionist tax policies.

However the wealth that these “rich” people have acquired was never in the possession of the poor and the middle class. In fact this wealth did not exist at all until these industrious people invested, worked and ultimately CREATED it. It is the fruits of their skills and labor that brought this wealth into existence and, lest we forget, this wealth was then taxed right off the top. Much of this taxed wealth was used for the great social engineering experiment that is the 40 year “War on Poverty.” It was the industrialists and capitalists whose taxed income was redistributed to the poor! What would they have been able to do with THEIR money if they had been allowed to keep it and reinvest it into the economy? We can only guess. However we do know what became of the money that was redistributed to the poor.

The U.S. government has spent close to $10 trillion dollars on domestic welfare programs since President Lyndon Johnson launched the “War on Poverty” in 1965. These include Aid to Families with Dependent Children (now Temporary Assistance to Needy Families—TANF); food stamps; Medicaid; the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); utilities assistance under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); housing assistance under a variety of programs, including public housing and Section 8 rental assistance; and the free commodities program. And then state and local governments engage in welfare spending that includes free medical care for the impoverished through charity hospitals. And what, pray-tell, did this “investment” into the poor communities return?

Well, it could have happened to anybody right? Families were destroyed as the illegitimacy rate skyrocketed. Welfare programs that rewarded women for having more babies naturally produced…more babies! Those women who “qualified” as single mothers would get preferential treatment by the system so naturally this led to the phenomenon, entirely predictable, of more single mothers. Welfare quickly became a way of life. That’s what happens when the government tries to help people. They created a class of professional parasites whose sole area of expertise was fulfilling the criteria established by the government to get the “free” money. Way to go guys.

Lets not forget what our investment in education has returned as well. Federal spending on education has risen steadily over the past three decades to unprecedented levels. The United States spent $553 billion on public elemen­tary and secondary education in 2006–2007,  which is 4.2 percent of gross domestic product. In 2004–2005 (the most recent school year for which data are available), an average of $9,266 was spent per pupil in American public schools. This means that a student entering first grade in 2004 could expect approximately $111,000 to be spent on his or her elementary and secondary education if the student com­pletes high school. Yet the results for all this increased spending are increasingly mediocre. The more we spend…the less we get.

Math Rankings

Grade 8: 27th
Grade 12: 19th

Science Rankings

Grade 12: 16th

Its clear that something other than money is needed to “reform” our education. Perhaps outlawing the teachers unions would be a good place to start. Unfortunately the Obama administration is sending them MORE money. Feeding the parasites is not the answer.

In this election cycle the democrats made an appeal to one particular group of people whom they had previously not been very successful at drawing into their coalition of the damned and downtrodden. Christians fell into the old “social gospel” trap that actually was a hallmark of Franklin Roosevelt’s brand of social intervention. It’s the idea of trying to prey upon a Christian’s need to fulfill Christ’s many exhortations to feed the poor and the downtrodden such as:

LUKE 14: 13-14 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

And of course Jesus did set an example by feeding a multitude of 5000 in this passage that is a favorite of the “social gospel” apologists:

JOHN 6: 1-14: After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

It is truly one of the great miracles that Jesus performed during his time on earth. Its amazing how even the most anti-Christian purveyors of social engineering love to use this particular moment in Jesus’ history in an attempt to shame Christians into supporting their socialist ideas. Often they even attempt to portray Jesus himself as some sort of “robin hood” liberal. As always, however, they leave out something very important. Jesus commanded individuals, not governments, to help the poor. There is a reason for this that eludes far too many people. It is not just the food that is the issue. It is the human interaction as one person CHOOSES to help another person. The feeling of worth and value that is imparted when someone goes out of his way to personally spend time with, and assist, another human being is as nourishing for the spirit as the food is to the body. No government social program can provide that interaction for it is a totally impersonal transaction that merely establishes your qualifications based on a set of criteria.

Then of course there is the one thing you will never hear from the liberal social engineers and their “social gospel” apologists allies. Its the next verse in the passage:

JOHN 6:15: When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

Yea, that makes a difference. He knew they would come back. First, they would come back expecting him to feed them again and then they would want to make him a king. Therefore I think it is important to point out that Jesus fed them ONCE and then left. Once is charity. Anything more and you begin to create dependence. By engaging them just once they would better remember him AND what he said, rather than just associate him with free food. That Jesus was a smart man. Apparently he knew the worst thing he could do for them was to make them dependent on getting something for nothing. But then again, Jesus wasn’t running for elected office. He didn’t need their votes. Unfortunately that’s not the case with the social engineers of the modern welfare state.

Our new President doesn’t seem to share Jesus’ desire to help his fellow man as much as to get him to associate the government assistance with the “generosity” of his administration. It’s easy to be generous with someone else’s money. You can say he is right to call these programs an “investment” in America. It’s an investment in making as many Americans dependent on the government as possible, and particularly the Democratic party who “redistributed” it to them. This is how you encourage more parasites. There is nothing in a government program to provide that sense of self worth. In fact, by accepting such entitlements, there is an implied acceptance of one’s lack of worth. Therefore it must always be a dysfunctional relationship based upon need and dependence. The same attributes one finds in the relationship between an addict and his supplier. Make no mistake about it, all parasites are addicts. Especially those that are socially engineered.

The “War on Poverty” and the “Great Society” represented the crowning achievement of the liberals social engineering vision of society. Government programs hailed as the solution to social problems. The “unintended” consequences that followed have made the word “liberal” so much of a political liability that almost no political candidate desires that designation. Unfortunately these policies have returned with the election of the parasite messiah Barack Obama. However this time the professional parasite class created by these disastrous practices is arrogantly DEMANDING what was once GIVEN as an act of benevolence. And like the animals in a national park that were foolishly fed by well meaning tourists, they are willing to attack and use force to acquire their demands.

We must stop feeding these animals.

WHEN PARASITES STRIKE

  • Feb. 28th, 2009 at 3:57 PM

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -Ayn Rand

The lawlessness that accompanied the campaign that brought Barack Obama to the White House is now escalating as the country’s parasites, emboldened and empowered with taxpayer money, continue their campaign to steal the fruits of other’s labor. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has put an emphasis on the “now” part of their name by adding violence, vandalism and outright robbery to their ever-growing list of attributes. Meanwhile our esteemed President has decided that the American taxpayer, fresh from being extorted out of 787 billion dollars by his diabolical economic stimulus package, must also pay another 75 billion in protection money to rescue the “victims” of housing foreclosures, lest the ACORN mobs be unleashed nationwide. Welcome to the new “remade” thug America…

A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience. The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes. Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy.

Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story. “The mortgage went up $300 in one month,” said Hanks, former homeowner. She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September. The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending.- WJZ News, Baltimore

Here we see all the traditional elements of the plight of the modern American parasite. A predator, an innocent victim, and of course, a collective of well meaning citizen activists claiming to pursue peaceful methods to help this poor “victim” remain in her home. As always when dealing with mobs of parasites, what lays underneath the veneer of altruism is a disgusting entitlement philosophy that insists that one person’s failure must be attributed to someone else’s success. That success, by their definition, must be “predatory.” In this particular case it is the bank that refused to modify her loan. The fact that she willingly signed the contract and lived in the house until she could no longer fulfill her part of the agreement is of no importance to the perpetrators of perpetual victim-hood. Never mind the fact that in every mortgage the bank ALWAYS owns the house until it is paid off. Poor Donna Hanks is a victim of “predatory lenders.” We must shed tears for her and help her. And that is exactly what ACORN did…

“This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN.

And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months. “We are actually trespassing, and so this is a way of civil disobedience to try to stay in the house,” said Beverly. “Legally it’s wrong, but homesteading is the only means that she has left to stay in her house. And we feel as though this is the right thing to do at this particular time to save this family.” Inside, there’s spray paint on the walls and evidence that someone has possibly been remodeling.

The group says it was staging similar demonstrations in six other cities nationwide while urging a moratorium on foreclosures.  They want that until President Obama’s stimulus plan begins on March 4. The plan is designed to help threatened homeowners. “As you all can see, Donna is reclaiming her home, and she’s putting a lock on her door at this time,” said Beverly.

But that padlock won’t stay there for long.- WJZ News Baltimore

At least they acknowledge that they are trespassing, however they keep making foolish references to “her home.” If it was “her home” she would not have been making payments on it in the first place! She was allowed to “occupy” the house so long as she made the payments that were her proof of intent to purchase the house. Once the payments stopped she no longer had cause to occupy the house. As usual, however, there is more to the story than anyone wants to tell. So tell it we must.

In their zeal to get out ahead of the President’s mortgage rescue plan, they have misrepresented this entire affair. Hanks bought the house in the summer of 2001 for $87,000. At some point in the next five years, she re-financed the original home loan for $270,000….Where did all that money go?

In 2006 Hanks house went into foreclosure and she filed for bankruptcy. All this occurred a full TWO YEARS before the current financial malaise that was spawned by the mortgage crisis. The house itself was sold in June of 2008 to a man named William Lane. So what does this prove? Well, it shows that the incompetence that ACORN displayed as they were repeatedly caught trying to fraudulently register voters before the election is still alive and well within that organization. You would think that they would have investigated these details themselves before they went out and made this woman their poster victim for predatory lending. But that would be reasonable and intelligent. Unfortunately such attributes are undesired by the likes of ACORN. This woman was no victim, she was a schemer and it caught up with her. William Lane rightfully says he will sue ACORN, and its intolerant thief, Louis Beverly, will face a burglary charge. Look for the mainstream media and the Looney Left to turn him into some sort of a modern day Robin Hood.

All of this is merely a theatrical way to draw a spotlight to the false notion that there is large number of “innocent” victims in need of rescuing, with President Obama coming to their aid with his 75 billion dollar mortgage rescue plan. Of course it isn’t really the president coming to the aid of these “victims” but instead it’s the U.S. taxpayer. Obama just wants to take all the credit. As with the mythical Robin Hood, our president has found it easy to provide assistance to these poor “victims” with money extorted from someone else. Keeping in mind that Obama was affiliated with ACORN in the past, one has to wonder if this attempt at “reclaiming” a home was just a demonstration aimed at scaring the public. Perhaps if we are sufficiently frightened of these “victims” we will more willingly tolerate paying them the protection money in the form of the aforementioned mortgage rescue plan. It certainly fits the thuggish pattern of behavior previously established by the organization.

The ever dependable mainstream media were, of course, all over the story initially. They loved the “victims strike back” aspect of the story and how this would certainly add propellant to the passage of Obama’s mortgage recovery plan. Unsurprisingly they lost interest when the details failed to match the story they wanted to tell. Now that the true victim is revealed to be the legal owner of the house it no longer fits their world-view so they must look elsewhere to find the “appropriate” victims to assist in Obama’s socialist remake of America.

And what exactly does this latest installment of the remake of America bring forth? Part of the $75B in The Plan will be used to subsidize the reduction of a mortgage payment to as low as 31% of their monthly income. The banks will initially need to make concessions to get the payment down to 38%, then the government will match the bank dollar for dollar to get the payment down to 31% of a borrowers monthly income. You read that right, that is taxpayer money that will be used to subsidize these defaulting borrowers. Of course the banks, like the rest of us, aren’t going to be given much of an option here as Judges will be allowed to modify the lending agreements without the bank’s consent. Just what we need, to render contract law subject to modification by a Judge with a predetermined outcome mandated by law. In these “politically correct” times this is what passes for justice…or should I say “social justice.” We have entered the age of the exalted parasite.

The fact that there is no money available for this 75 billion dollar swindle doesn’t bother the President. As the prophet of the “affirmative action” generation, his presidency stands as the ultimate parasite entitlement program. One of the benefits of being Parasite in Chief is that you are in charge of the printing presses that print the money. Inflation, perhaps even hyper-inflation, is going to happen. Too bad in Obamaworld they give you credit for attending economics classes rather than passing them or he might be concerned about it. But then again, he did well in his advanced Marxism classes and he understands that if he destroys the economy he will be able to “remake” it more to his communist liking…this will soon become intolerable to the American people. And perhaps it already has started.

A national movement against the bailout syndrome that is infecting the nation began in cities across the U.S. from New York City and Philadelphia, to the White House in Washington DC and beyond. American taxpayers are launching a movement against the bankrupting of our country. In over 40 cities across America, tea parties were held on Friday, February 27th. This movement is just the beginning of a much bigger revolution by productive hard working Americans to take a stand against the parasitic spending spree in Washington. This event got its tea party name in reference to the infamous Boston Tea Party that all too many American college graduates never heard of thanks to their expensive public educations. Its just more proof of the need to put the parasites in their place. And put them there we shall!

Obama revealed in his new budget his plans to set the nation upon itself in class warfare. He detailed his plans to raise taxes on those people who make over $250,000 annually. Unfortunately what President Obama is unable or unwilling to grasp is the fact that these are the nations EMPLOYERS. His plan is as foolish as it is childish. Obama and his band of merry parasites merely wish to punish the successful producers of America and reward losers with the booty that they extort through taxation. Lyndon Johnson had his “War On Poverty” but Barack H. Obama has a “War On Prosperity.” How much more childish can you get? I am afraid to find out.

The top 2% of earners are not going to become the slaves of the parasites. We know this because they are telling us this. I found this interesting statement from Russell Roberts, one of the top 2% that President Obama and his loyal parasites resent so much. It’s quite enlightening:

I’m in the target group to do the paying. I won’t do it.

I own my business and, unlike an employee, I have the option to work as much or as little as I like. At some tax rate, the marginal dollar won’t be worth earning. I’ll fire some employees, scale down the business or retire altogether and stick my money in tax advantaged muni bonds and do all the traveling and relaxing I can’t do now. The tax advantage of muni bonds will NEVER go away because municipalities will scream bloody murder. If I’m not ready to retire and the tax rate gets too high, I may just immigrate to another country because it’s very easy for me to get almost instant citizenship in any other country. I respond to incentives and I’m not incentivized by enslavement and neither is anyone I know. The specialness of this country is the lack of totalitarian regime and individual liberty. Once that’s gone, this country is no longer all that special. You can call me evil or “not doing my part” because I’m not willing to work myself into the grave for your family instead of mine, but the reality is that unless you plan to start a Gulag, you can’t make me.

Uh…

Note to Russell…

They are working on just such a Gulag apparatus to lock us up. Its called HR-645 - “The National Emergency Centers Establishment Act.” Its provides that the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations. These installations are for, among other things, the purposes of a “national emergency.” With the Obama administration intentionally sinking the economy with more parasitic debt, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat to the establishment. One need only look at Iceland, Greece and the Kremlin’s recent crackdown on such demonstrations in Russia for what will be happening in the United States next. The tea party protests are just the beginning.

It appears these “national emergency centers” will be used in a national emergency, but only if the national emergency requires large groups of people to be arrested and detained. If that isn’t the case, then why have these national emergency facilities been built on military installations? We all know that our Parasite in Chief doesn’t tolerate rejection very well. Something to consider. Mr Russell continues:

The question is, why should I be expected to work and risk more than you to provide you with the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed? Yes, it’s sustainable to raise taxes on the most productive. However, it’s not sustainable at a high standard of living. It’s sustainable only at ever decreasing standards of living. France and Germany are good examples.

There’s a difference between the natural altruism that occurs between family members and confiscation by the state. I feel great when I donate to charity. I feel really crappy when I write the check to the IRS. Maybe I should figure out how to receive one instead. Seems a lot less time consuming.

Mr. Russell is what the Obama acolytes call a hater. He doesn’t want to do his fair share. In their world it is fair that they should benefit from the work of others. That’s parasite logic. If you create a set of qualifications for government assistance, you will necessarily create a professional class of parasites whose sole expertise is fulfilling those qualifications. Likewise they will be perpetually beholden to the politicians who created that arrangement. An arrangement based on dependence. The democrats get the votes and the parasites get a freeloaders lifestyle. In their own pathetic way, everyone views themselves as winners. Everyone except decent hardworking free and independent citizens. They become the slaves of the parasites as the fruits of their labor are stolen to support this scheme…and there-in lies the inevitable failure that awaits the parasites.

As Mr. Russell said, “We won’t do it.” We won’t work and we won’t pay the taxes. Without the “forced labor” and the extorted revenue the system fails. As always, the parasite kills the host. When the American government collapses, then we can rebuild her as she was in the beginning. Where all men were “CREATED” equal. That is the only time in their lives they were meant to be so. Candidate Obama spoke often of fairness and the need to be fair. Yet his concept of fairness only looks at the results, and not the inputs that led to those results. In his concept of fairness all games must end in a tie. This is, in fact, completely unfair! Therefore who should want to play at all in a game they can’t win?

Let the restoration of America begin. It can be as peaceful, or as violent, as is necessary to vanquish the parasites. They are what they have chosen to be. They cannot and must not have a voice in the restoration of our constitutional government. Voter reform is in order. No one should vote for any office he is not qualified to hold. Getting all the under 35 crowd out of presidential politics will solve a lot of problems. Children elect children. In the era of the perpetual adolescent this is a fatal problem. Seeing Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer acting giddy as they squander money they extorted from taxpayers is as sickening as their childish rhetoric. Why are we being dictated to by them and their charlatan president? Is there a better example of childish behavior than these three?

The time to restore America is now. Lets not be squeamish about it either. Our enemies are fond of saying: “by any means necessary.” The choice was theirs. Let those words be their epitaph.


SEPTEMBER 11, 2008: AMERICAN PUTSCH?

  • Feb. 14th, 2009 at 8:23 PM

With the recession, and President Obama’s subsequent stimulus debacle, dominating the media, recent revelations about the true origins of the financial crisis have been (deliberately?) ignored. Contrary to popular perception, the recession and the crisis in the financial markets are two separate and distinct events even though the effects of one affects the other. If you will recall, in September we were led to believe that a financial disaster was imminent. The President, at the urging of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, insisted that drastic action had to be taken immediately or the financial markets would collapse. The stock market plunged and trillions of dollars in value just evaporated. Therefore congress, in a rush, passed the 700 billion dollar bank bailout known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). Although most of us “informed” citizens are aware of the long term root causes of the financial collapse (the Community Reinvestment act and the toxic assets it spawned) this in and of itself would not have presented its effects as an emergency of such dire proportions. These assets had been fermenting for decades awaiting a flame to ignite them. Now the revelations are coming forth…

On Thursday at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.

The Treasury tried to help, opened their window and pumped in $150 Billion but quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. So they decided to closed down the accounts.- Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D) of Pennsylvania

In an interview broadcast on C-Span’s Washington Journal, Representative Kanjorski explained what the former Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told congress during the September 2008 closed door session. The meeting was held a few days after the electronic run on the banks on Monday September 15. The Thursday before, that Representative Kanjorski is referring to, was SEPTEMBER 11. Does that day have any significance to anyone??? He continued…

Had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.

So there you have the story, as it was told to President Bush and the congress. Action had to be taken quickly to stabilize the markets due to an electronic bank run. It also goes a long way to explaining why one of the first actions taken was to boost the FDIC deposit insurance up from $100,000 per depositor to $250,000. They were pre-empting a possible run on all banks in the event that word leaked out about what had happened.

In contemplating the timing of this event and the reaction of certain key figures, both before and after the electronic bank run, the obvious must be stated: THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WAS DELIBERATELY PLANNED AND DELIBERATELY EXECUTED!! Just who was it that initiated the bank run? The timing of the event, both in the deliberate choice of September 11 as the attack date and the proximity to a presidential election prohibit any realistic acceptance of a “coincidence.” Somebody took 550 billion dollars out of the banks. Even down here in Alabama we know that is a serious amount of money. The question is, who took it out? Why did they take it out? And of course…where is it now? Rest assured SOMEBODY knows!

All of those transactions produced records. You can be certain that all of this was investigated and fast. Yet no-one has revealed any information. Hell, if it weren’t for Representative Kanjorski we wouldn’t even now know that there was a run on the banks. Why is he now talking? Was the United States the victim of an economic terrorist attack? Certainly the choosing of the September 11 date for the bank run leads one to consider Islamic terrorism. However the extreme amount of money involved would eliminate any possibility of any known terrorist group, unless of course they were supported by a wealthy state with the economic resources to pull this off…Saudi Arabia anyone? Venezuela? The attack occurred at a time of surging oil prices, which just happens to financially benefit countries that would like to do the United States harm. The time would never be better for one of these known enemies to make their move. It is also rather telling how swiftly afterward world oil prices plummeted…U.S. economic counterattack?

Certainly we can see how this could have perplexed President Bush. Evidence suggests that the attack was, essentially, repulsed and perhaps the sudden drop in oil prices could have been a U.S. reprisal. However, you must ask yourself how the President would be able to present this to the American people? If he had suggested that the U.S. was attacked the American media, already swooning in their adoration of Barack Obama, would have accused him of playing the “terrorism” card. They would never have acknowledged the reality of such an attack and announcing it may have hurt John McCain’s chances even more than the subsequent stock market crash. Also, a significant part of Bush’s legacy rests on the fact that he prevented further terrorist attacks after September 11, 2001. Even though this was a different type of attack, he may have felt a desire to not acknowledge it publicly to preserve that impression.

It is clear that one of, if not THE, overriding motives for the attack was to influence the election results. If you will recall that in March of 2004 there was an Islamic terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain. This attack also was presented just before an election. It resulted in the appeasement party winning the elections and the government subsequently pulling Spanish troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. This is exactly the result the terrorists were seeking.

If a bombing such as the one in Madrid were replicated in the United States, the result would have almost certainly been just the opposite. The country would have been, once again, wakened from the slumber that seven years of successfully preventing an attack had induced. John McCain, the tough military man, would have won in a landslide. By contrast, if you want to do something that will help Barack Obama…you have to hurt the economy. Remember Bill Clinton got elected by riding a minor recession and repeating the slogan: “it’s the economy, stupid.” Therefore it would need to be an attack on the U.S. economy that would have the effect of sending a democrat to the White House.

Interpreting the motive for the attack opens still more possibilities. I have thus far suggested that the most likely motive for striking the U.S. financial markets would be to alter the presidential election. It is not likely than an external adversary would have really suspected they could actually destroy the U.S, economy, nor would any country on earth benefit from such a result as we would take every other economy down with us. Therefore if influencing the election was the most reasonable motive for the attack we must also entertain another possibility…that the attack originated from elements WITHIN the United States.

A person, or group of people are absolutely within their rights to take money from their own accounts. It is 100% legal and can only be prevented by the government shutting down the market as it eventually did. We are told that as much as 5 trillion dollars would have been removed had they not interceded. How could they know that? That presumes that an uncontrollable panic involving large numbers of investors had to be involved. If this was designed as an action to induce a stampede of withdrawals then this would have had to be done in a way that was visible so the bank run could continue to build momentum on itself. Was this panic induced by several key investors who went out of there way to be seen withdrawing large amounts of money? Was it their intention to be noticed and subsequently have their actions followed and repeated by thousands of other investors? For it to work, it had to be noticed, observed and recorded. A record of all the withdrawals exists. Therefore the people who monitor such things, The Securities and Exchange Commission, has to be able to know, and most certainly does know, who was responsible. And yet we have been told nothing. Why?

One news story comes to mind immediately. It involves New York Senator Charles Schumer who is credited with initiating a run on the banks a short time before the financial attack of September 11, 2008:

OTS (Office of Thrift Supervision) announced Friday that it was taking over the $32 billion IndyMac and transferring control to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - and the agency pointed the finger directly at Schumer for the failure, accusing him of sparking a bank run by releasing a letter that “expressed concerns about IndyMac’s viability.”

“In the following 11 business days, depositors withdrew more than $1.3 billion from their accounts,” the OTS said in a statement announcing the California-based lender’s takeover. The statement included a quote from OTS Director John Reich saying, “Although this institution was already in distress, I am troubled by any interference in the regulatory process.”

Schumer’s letter on June 26 said he was “concerned that IndyMac’s financial deterioration poses significant risks to both taxpayers and borrowers.” - CNN

Charles Schumer is certainly no stranger to hardball partisan politics, so finding him entangled in a premeditated ploy to intimidate the public into voting democratic is hardly a surprise. As always George Soros’ name also comes up as a likely major player in this affair. After all, he does have the financial resources to initiate a panic and he likewise has a history of trying to use his vast wealth to interfere with government policy. You will recall that in 1992 he sold short more than $10 billion worth of British money thereby forcing The Bank of England to withdraw its currency from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism causing the pound sterling to be devalued. Soros earned an estimated  1.1 billion in the process. Of course George Soros is also a known supporter of various liberal causes including bankrolling the legal team currently trying to Railroad Al Franken into the Senate.

Once again we have to put ourselves in the position of President Bush. How can he possibly present this scenario to the public without himself being accused of trying to mislead the public? Who would have believed him if he had presented evidence that democratic supporters were sabotaging the economy in order to acquire a victory for themselves? Considering his approval ratings, he had almost no choice but to sit on the information. Even if he had released the names of all involved after the election it could have had a devastating effect on our population. But do we not need to know this? Should this be allowed to go unacknowledged? Should we not consider the penalty we must pay as a nation if we allow people to deliberately damage our economy just to further their own political objectives? And what of those political objectives? Considering the damnable stimulus bill they just rammed through the congress do we dare assume they have our best interests at heart? Perhaps President Bush let us down. This will come out, and its effects on the social order of our country will be catastrophic. This of course will be no problem for our current President who will use this impending threat to social order as an opportunity to consolidate more power. H.R. 645 anyone?

Before you write this off as making a worst case scenario out of the, thus far, limited revelations of a little known house member, it would be wise to consider the actions of both Barack Obama and John McCain at the time of the attack. If you will recall, John McCain famously suspended his campaign to return to Washington and lead the efforts that would result in the TARP bill. This put the first presidential debate in serious jeopardy of being canceled or delayed. What, pray-tell, did Barack Obama do? Insisting that the debates should go on as scheduled, he uttered one of his most infamous statements:

“There are times for politics, and then there are times to rise above politics and do what’s right for the country. And this is one of those times. It is going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once. I think there’s no reason why we can’t be constructive in helping to solve this problem and also tell the American people what we believe, and where we stand, and where we want to take the country. You know, what I’m going to do is, I’m going to — what I have told the leadership in Congress is that, if I can be helpful, then I am prepared to be anywhere any time.” - Barack H. Obama

Ahh, the the notorious “call me if you need me” line. Not the kind of reaction you expect from a presidential hopeful concerning a crisis of an uncertain nature. No, this is the kind of reaction you get from someone who figures things are going according to the plan. A plan that was designed entirely for his benefit. A plan that succeeded in making him the President of the United States. What wouldn’t a man such as this do to fulfill his ambitions? Dare we want to know what those ambitions portend?

And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” [John 8:32].

There is a belief that permeates our legal system. It is the idea that the truth is an absolute defense in all things. Well, it turns out this old judicial truth may not be true after all. “The times they are a changin,” and not for the better! The greatest test Western Civilization will face is happening now in the Netherlands as the truth is actually on trial. The mere fact that this trial is happening is a great victory for all those who oppose freedom, let alone what the consequences will be for the outcome…

Islam film Dutch MP to be charged (BBC News)
A Dutch court has ordered prosecutors to put a right-wing politician on trial for making anti-Islamic statements. Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders made a controversial film last year equating Islam with violence and has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
“In a democratic system, hate speech is considered so serious that it is in the general interest to… draw a clear line,” the court in Amsterdam said.

Mr Wilders said the judgement was an “attack on the freedom of expression. Participation in the public debate has become a dangerous activity. If you give your opinion, you risk being prosecuted,” he said. Not only he, but all Dutch citizens opposed to the “Islamisation” of their country would be on trial, Mr Wilders warned. “Who will stand up for our culture if I am silenced?” he added.

Who indeed? In March of 2008 Geert Wilders posted a short film that he made called “Fitna.” Fitna is an Islamic term meaning “strife.” Predictably this film was called an abomination and an offense to Islam even though there is not one false statement presented. The film featured quotes from the Qu’ran dubbed over video of actual scenes of these verses being brought to their full and violent fruition. Mr Wilders even had the audacity to compare the Qu’ran to Hitler’s famous book “Mein Kampf” and likened Islam to Nazism. Gee, I wonder where he got that idea…

“Muslims responded to the call of Muslim leaders and joined our side because of their hatred of our joint Jewish-English-Bolshevik enemies, and because of their belief and respect for, above all — Our Fuehrer.” - Heinrich Himmler

“…a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament. The Mohammedan religion…would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?” - Adolf Hitler

That truth stuff sure does get in the way of a good hate crimes prosecution doesn’t it? One might even call it…”inconvenient!” The two leading Nazi’s of the Third Reich are not only endorsing Islam with all of its Jew-hating consistencies with their own regime, but also, as clearly pointed out by Himmler, noting the fact that Islamic nations did ally themselves with the Nazi cause. So how are they going to prosecute Mr. Wilders for telling the truth? Well, obviously there has to be a higher authority. Something, or someone, whose interests outweigh the value of spreading TRUE information throughout a society. Reckon what that could be?

The three judges said that they had weighed Mr Wilders’s “one-sided generalisations…which can amount to inciting hatred” against his right to free speech, and ruled that he had gone beyond the normal leeway granted to politicians. The Amsterdam appeals court has ordered the prosecution of member of parliament Geert Wilders for inciting hatred and discrimination, based on comments by him in various media on Muslims and their beliefs.”
The court also considers appropriate criminal prosecution for insulting Muslim worshippers because of comparisons between Islam and Nazism made by Wilders,” it added.

“This is a happy day for all followers of Islam who do not want to be tossed on the garbage dump of Nazism - Gerard Spong, lawyer

So there you have it. “Offensive” speech is now a prosecutable offense. Never mind that the offending speech is all true or the offended are all guilty. The complaint alleges it is “one sided,” and of course, it just happens to be the provably true side. Nevertheless Muslims have been offended and everything must be done to ease their inability to handle the truth. Offensive speech a.k.a. “hate speech” is the natural and necessary by-product of the foolish concept known as a hate crime. The idea of punishing people for “insulting” religious beliefs is exactly what Islamic countries have been practicing within their own societies and have long been clamouring for similar laws in the West. They desire that Western nations adopt blasphemy laws and stop the “defamation” of Islam. Defamation being defined as saying anything they decide they don’t like, which can and often does, include the simple act of repeating their own words.

There are, of course, limits to free speech, such as calls for violence but one doesn’t have to agree with Mr. Wilders to realize that he hasn’t even approached that line. In fact, he is only guilty of reporting the violent actions of Muslims. Some Muslims say they are outraged by his statements, but why are they not equally outraged by the violence done in the name of Islam? It seems their outrage would be better spent persecuting the actions of their own people rather than wasting it on the righteous condemnation of those act by others. They make a controversial issue about the speech while ignoring the action that is the subject of that speech. Nonetheless, if freedom of speech has any meaning, it must apply to the freedom of controversial speech. Non-controversial speech needs no protection. Without the right of free speech, all the other freedoms we cherish will soon perish.

For his part, Geert Wilders is convinced he has already been convicted and will go to prison:

“The decision of the court today was so strong that there is a real chance unfortunately that there will be a guilty verdict. In fact, it was so bluntly motivated that it already looks like a verdict instead of just ordering the public prosecutor to start a trial. I lost my freedom already four and a half years ago in October 2004, when my 24-hour police protection started because of threats by Muslims in Holland and abroad to kill me. So of course I don’t want to go to jail as a criminal, but I don’t fear losing my freedom since I already lost my freedom in 2004.” - Geert Wilders

And yet, this is not an isolated incident:

Vienna - Austrian far-right parliamentarian Susanne Winter was convicted Thursday of incitement because of her anti-Muslim statements, including the claim that Islam’s prophet Mohammed was a paedophile. A court in Winter’s home town of Graz also found the 51-year-old politician guilty of humiliating a religion. She was sentenced to a fine of 24,000 euros (31,000 dollars) euros and a suspended prison term of three months, Austrian news agency APA reported.

The politician, who took a seat in parliament last fall for the Freedom Party (FPOe), made the anti-Islamic remarks in January 2008. She also proposed in a discussion with students that Muslim men should commit bestiality rather than making “indecent advances” on girls. The politician had pleaded innocent Thursday, claiming that she “did not want to insult anyone, but only to point out problems.” The verdict is not yet legally binding.

Once again the truth was not allowed to be a defense. Muhammad’s consummation of his marriage with his wife Aisha is in the Hadith collection, Bukhari, several times. Of course you will remember that the girl was NINE YEARS OLD at the time of this consummation. Muslims consider Muhammad to be their “perfect example” and take emulating his behavior very seriously. How seriously you ask? Well consider the case of the infamous Ayatollah Khomeini. The leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran married a ten year old girl when he was twenty eight. Of course he didn’t call it pedophilia. No, he referred to it as a “Divine Blessing.”

“Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” - Ayatolla Khomeini

It will probably come as no surprise to learn that the the legal age for marriage in Iran is nine for girls and fourteen for boys. Where do you suppose that magic number of nine years old came from? One could call Iran a pedophiles paradise. Certainly a Westerner speaking in a Western country should not be convicted of “incitement” for pointing out that the values of Islamic civilization are in conflict with the values of our own, especially when the “incitement” consists of citing examples from Islam’s own accepted traditional writings. Yet here it stands as another example of Western culture bending over and grabbing our ankles while the ever uncompromising ambassadors of Islam proudly mount us saying: “who’s your daddy?” Is our only response always going to be the infamous Kevin Bacon line from the Animal House movie? (Thank you sir, may I have another)

You are probably thinking to yourselves that this could never happen here. Perhaps President Obama would even be willing to grant Geert Wilders political asylum in America. After all, do we in America not have an absolute right to free speech as granted by the first amendment to the Constitution? Well don’t be so sure about that. Our new president is a “sensitive” sort of fellow to the feelings of certain groups of people, particularly those who like to fabricate the illusion of their own victim-hood, as is evidenced by the official White House website:

President Obama and Vice President Biden will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation, expand hate crimes protection by passing the Matthew Shepard Act, and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice’s Criminal Section.

Uh oh. There are those words again. Hate Crimes. As if there are any other kind. This is the kind of nonsense that leads to “incitement” laws prohibiting offensive speech. Slowly but surely, every group of people who perceives themselves as having been aggrieved by someone else seeks to have themselves added to the list of those “protected” classes of citizens who shall not be offended. You might as well call them “blasphemy laws” because Muslims will use them to stifle all criticism of their religion just as surely as the homosexuals will use them to repulse the condemnation of their deviant lifestyle. However you can be certain that speech offending Christians and Jews will somehow find a way to be excluded from such protections. We wouldn’t want to stifle all the “artistic creativity” in Hollywood now would we? Their freedom to mock all things decent, traditional and Judeo-Christian must not be infringed!

How is it you can be charged with offending someone’s beliefs, even as those very beliefs insult you and everything you stand for? Whenever we hear the words ‘human rights’ in connection with Islam, we are repeatedly confronted with ugly opportunism that spits in the face of real and genuine human rights and insults everyone’s intelligence. They get away with saying one thing to us while saying something entirely different and considerably more unsavory amongst themselves. We should not be expected to respect an ideology that doesn’t respect us. Be very clear about this: Islam respects nobody. It claims the right to dominate. Our portion is OBEDIANCE. They have not been shy about making that clear:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth” - Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations)

It could be fairly said that I have a somewhat biased view on the issues of free/hate speech. After all, I am guilty of exactly the same crime as Geert Wilders. The Babylon Mystery Orchestra CD essentially does the same thing as Mr. Wilders movie Fitna. There are direct quotes from Muslims and the Qu’ran and an intentional linking of Muslim words to violent Muslim actions. I even went as far as to construct the lyrics of one song, God Given Right, entirely out of very offensive statements made by very offensive Muslims. However if Fitna or BMO’s “Axis Of Evil” are to be considered “hate speech” and guilty of the crime of “incitement,” might the same also be said of the Qu’ran itself or Muslim clerics like Omar Ahmed? Isn’t it amusing how much you can get away with if you simply claim yourself to be oppressed?

It does worry me that the first major interview our new President has done was with Al Arabiya, where he went out of his way to pacify the sensitivities of the Islamic world. It makes me wonder how far he is willing to go to placate them. These are dark days for the West if we don’t stand against Islam’s desire to remain beyond criticism. “Tolerance” and “multiculturalism” may seem like noble pursuits to some people but there is one group of people who have never and will never acquiesce to such ideas…Muslims. They can’t. Although the very act of saying that may soon be a prosecutable offense here too! Incitement crimes are coming to America! Still don’t believe me? Observe this:

The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill. The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations”.

Ominously, the bill also states that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” an open ended mandate which many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse. Many credible forecasters have predicted riots and rebellions in America that will dwarf those already witnessed in countries like Iceland and Greece.

With active duty military personnel already being stationed inside the U.S. under Northcom, partly for purposes of “crowd control,” fears that Americans could be incarcerated in detainment camps are all too real. (PrisonPlanet.com)

There is coming a time when Americans will be locking away people who say things that incite others in the name of “crowd control.” Freedom of speech is a dying principle. Such “emergency centers” are an ideal place to locate the incorrigible dissenters who fail to quietly follow the edicts of this, or any, administration. Dissent, which we were told was patriotic when Bush was President can now be seen as “incitement.” A wonderful method for making sure that everyone accedes to the will of the new Socialist Godhead that is Messiah Obama. It begins by failing to uphold the right of someone to offend someone else with simple words. It ends with the incarceration, or worse, of all those who dare oppose the all powerful state. What is happening to Geert Wilders in The Netherlands is going to come here.

Perhaps there is a place being prepared for me in one of President Obama’s new gulags. Guantonemo Bay may not be closed down after all. We will just change the kind of people we incarcerate there! If we do not act to restrain the coming speech codes soon, there are going to be a lot of you in there with me. But hey, at least we will get to meet Rush Limbaugh! The President has actually went so far as mentioning him by name. How long will it be before he decides he has to do something about all of us who won’t go along with his social engineering ideas. Hate speech and incitement laws are a fine way to get rid of us.

THE LAND OF MISFIT LOINS

  • Jan. 3rd, 2009 at 1:04 PM

It is becoming increasingly clear that a certain, extremely vocal, portion of the public defines freedom and equality entirely on how much “tolerance” they can extort from the general public for their lascivious desire to promote the unrestricted exhibition and exploitation of their’s, and other’s, loins in and out of the public sphere. It is the classic example of mistaking immorality for freedom, and in their belligerent ignorance they see modesty, piety and bigotry as essentially the same. Our failure to endorse their increasingly ludicrous demands for approval of their “lifestyles” often leads to a display of some of the most pathetic adolescent behavior imaginable. In fact such behavior was unimaginable just a generation ago. When it comes to boorish behavior, nobody, and I mean NOBODY tops the advocates for the homosexual agenda in this country.

When most of us were children we were given a simple test to determine our basic cognitive skills. It was a simple one that I am sure most of you remember. It almost qualified as a toy. You had several pegs of varying shapes and a board with holes in it that likewise consisted of the same varying shapes. You simply had to match the pegs to their appropriate holes. For most of us putting the square peg in the square hole was not a monumental accomplishment. There were, of course, many of our fellow children who could not accomplish this feat however, and they insisted on trying to mismatch the pegs and the holes. Although trying to put a square peg into a round hole was not something that should stigmatize a child for life, we reasonably expect that an attempt should be made to correct the child. Perhaps we would even dare to “teach” the child to recognize the shapes and to look carefully to match them. How many of you remember your teachers telling you it was equally correct to mismatch a square peg into a round hole as to match a round peg into a round hole? It didn’t happen, and for good reason. It would be foolish. Well, we’ve got there now. Not only are we being forced accept this kind of foolishness, we are told it is a noble cause to promote such nonsense. In fact if we don’t support it we are bigots.

The successful passage of the Proposition 8 amendment banning homosexual marriages in California has awakened the “enfant terrible” in a wide range of people who assure us that they are the “enlightened” ones that know what is best for all of us. Unable to accept that, yet again, one of the most liberal states in the country has failed to endorse square peg to round hole marriages, homosexuals have taken to the streets protesting and attacking people and businesses who supported the amendment and, in their most ill-mannered demonstrations, they have even trespassed into churches to deliver vulgar rants against those who fail to acknowledge the nobility of their demands. This proves once and for all that tolerance really is a one way street. And guess which way its going…(insert obvious AC/DC song here).

Apparently when it comes to the issue of homosexual marriage, the issue is already decided, at least according to the advocates of this preposterousness. The vote was just supposed to be a formality as, of course, there was always only ONE right answer. Six thousand years of human history be damned, these people have figured out that everyone who came before them was mistaken and there is absolutely nothing wrong with these mismatched unions. In fact, they tell us we are depriving them of their RIGHT to be married. Where did this “right” materialize from? Well, one argument stems from the Civil Rights movement of the 1950’s-60’s.

While attempting to equate their struggle with that of the African-American people may have seemed like a good idea, they have in fact offended the black community. One’s sexual identity isn’t so identifiable as one’s race. Black people, once enslaved and declared less than human, were still being deprived of basic human dignities such as access to education and other services as well as fair treatment in almost every area of society. It was not something they could have avoided or hidden, even if they had wished to. Homosexuals have never been enslaved or declared less than human, nor are they being being legally discriminated against for their particular sexual preferences. Even if such things were to occur, they have legal remedies available to them. The lack of those legal remedies were at the heart of the Civil Rights struggle all along. The African-American community is rightfully offended that homosexuals would dare equate the quest for same sex marriage with their struggle for Civil Rights. Is it any wonder that 7 out of 10 African-Americans voted against homosexual marriage? They have every right to be offended! It is no surprise that this backfired on on the supporters of homosexual marriage.

Opponents of Proposition 8 like to bring up the court case of  Loving v. Virginia. This was a 1967 decision finding that marriage was a basic human right and that there was no legitimate state interest in banning interracial marriage. Let us also remember this is still a square peg to square hole relationship, the colors do not alter the fact that all the working parts fit together naturally as they were intended by God or nature. Take your pick. Therefore the arguments for interracial marriages CANNOT be applied to homosexual marriages because you are still dealing with a man and a woman marriage. This is the basic relationship that results in traditionally accepted families that produce children. It is the tried and true foundation of every successful society. Certainly our society has an interest in the upbringing of children, as this process produces new citizens, and guides them to maturity. Therefore our society can, and has, decided that the traditional family is the proven successful model for raising a family. The foundation of that family being a marriage between a man and a woman. It is for that reason that we have chosen to honor these traditional marriages with special status.

In the aftermath of the successful win for Proposition 8, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said he would fight to uphold the initiative, even though he personally voted against it. This, of course, was before the adolescent tantrums of Proposition 8 opponents went into high gear in an attempt to extort their will, over that of California’s voters, through intimidation. We have all seen the pictures of protesters attacking churches, demonstrating outside the homes, and even attempting to destroy the businesses of those known to have supported Proposition 8. They seem to have taken particular interest in both Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church as well as the Mormon Church. Protest is a healthy thing for the democratic process, but this has long since crossed the line into violent intimidation. Trespassing onto the property, and into the services, of these churches is unacceptable behavior reminiscent of Nazi brown-shirts. The Nazi’s laid a fine blueprint for a minority group wishing to impose it’s will on others.

To be sure, the churches have handled these situations with remarkable grace and tolerance given the fact that these attacks represent a textbook example of intolerance on the part of homosexuals. In their eyes, there was only one right way to view this issue, and the voters of California failed to get it right. They therefore see it as their right to extract a certain amount of revenge against Christians for opposing them. As always, opponents of homosexual marriage are portrayed as bigots that are totally undeserving of respect. Their point of view is constantly and falsely being equated with racism. The media, as always, seems willingly pliable to promote wishes of the homosexual agenda.

The tantrums of the advocates for homosexual marriage may not be particularly effective against Christians and other adults, but they have apparently worked on the California Attorney General. After initially insisting he would enforce the will of the people, he has apparently had a change of heart:

“Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification. The courts have previously said the right of a person to marry is protected as one of those inalienable rights. The question at the center of the gay marriage cases is whether rights secured under the state Constitution’s safeguard of liberty as an ‘inalienable’ right may intentionally be withdrawn from a class of persons by an initiative amendment.”

“Although voters are allowed to amend other parts of the Constitution by majority vote, to use the ballot box to take away an “inalienable” right would establish a “tyranny of the majority,” which the Constitution was designed, in part, to prevent, he wrote. “For we are talking, necessarily, about rights of individuals or groups against the larger community, and against the majority, even an overwhelming majority, of the society as a whole.” - California Attorney General Jerry Brown

Of course, opponents of Proposition 8 are elated at the Attorney General’s chameleon-like ability to adapt to the environment of hostility that they have created, and have taken to calling the Attorney General “a leader of courage and conviction.” In truth he is neither courageous nor a man of conviction. He is a man betraying his duty to his office. It is the Attorney General’s job to uphold the law, not to advocate for its change. Now he is attempting to use his office and the courts, yet again, to make homosexual marriages legal.

Does a man have an “inalienable right” to marry another man? Of course not, for if he did it would have long since been customary for such unions to be accepted. There is no “right” to marry. It is licensed by the state. Rights are not, nor do they need to be licensed!  And here is the interesting fly in the ointment: homosexuals haven’t been banned from getting married. Any homosexual person can marry somebody of the opposite sex. They often do. What they are demanding are special rights to marry within the same sex. This is not in any way an acceptable definition of an “inalienable right.” If the Attorney General were truly worried about tyranny, he would recognize it as coming from a minority group forcibly imposing its unnatural perversions onto the rest of us. We are repeatedly told we have absolutely no right to reject this perverse behavior. It is us and our world-view that they are demanding be changed. This is the tyranny of political correctness. So who is the real tyrant here?

In 1973, The American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II). This decision was a significant victory for homosexual activists and they have continued to claim that the APA based their decision on new scientific discoveries that proved that homosexual behavior is normal and should be affirmed in our culture. This is a fine example of scientific and academic arrogance. For all of human history homosexual behavior has been considered “deviant” and abnormal but now these fine fellows have decided that not only is it normal, but that we must embrace and endorse this behavior based entirely on their “scholarly” recommendation? Give me a break. So everyone else throughout history, every culture, creed, religion and science was in error and these “enlightened” fellows have “discovered” the real truth? Sorry, but no sale.

If we were to accept that people are born homosexual and that they are powerless to resist their sexual urges we would set history BACKWARDS a thousand years. Yes, I said BACKWARDS. Endorsing this line of thought is not progressive at all. We like to think that we can be anything we want to be. We believe in neither “birthrights” or penalizing someone because of who or what condition they were born into. We judge people by what they are, not what they came from. Yet the homosexual agenda claims the homosexual is born that way and can be nothing else. They likewise perceive sexual preference as their all-encompassing identity and as such it essentially becomes a self-imposed penalty. That’s as intolerable as it is un-American. You are what you make of yourself. You are not born locked into a homosexual lifestyle. I reject that. If you cannot choose, you cannot be free. Be very careful what you claim you want. It is the helpless that are the first victims of an abuse of power, and how often have homosexuals been persecuted for just that perceived helplessness? If someone wishes to live as, and be, a homosexual, by all means let them. But let them do it as a free citizen making  a free choice. That choice is their right and neither I nor anyone else should dispute it. However if someone insists that they have no choice, and homosexuality was forced upon them by genetics or some other pseudo-scientific mythology, then they are just pathetic fools. I have no respect for that. Whining and making excuses deserves, and gets, nothing.

Which brings me around to the brouhaha following the president-elect’s invitation to Pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration ceremony. Homosexuals are in a rage over this in spite of the fact that President-Elect Obama has stated repeatedly that he does not support gay marriage. He holds exactly the same position on the issue that Rick Warren holds. John Cloud, an openly homosexual writer for Time Magazine even went as far as to call the future President a…you guessed it…bigot.

“Gays and lesbians are angry that Barack Obama has honored Warren, but they shouldn’t be surprised. Obama has proved himself repeatedly to be a very tolerant, very rational-sounding sort of bigot.” - John Cloud

What was Rick Warren’s great crime, other than obviously opposing homosexual marriage? He infuriated homosexual rights activists with a comment  made in a TV interview. He compared two homosexuals getting married to a brother marrying a sister or an adult marrying a child. Warren even went as far as to say “Certain body parts are meant to fit together.” Kinda makes you think about square pegs belonging in square holes doesn’t it? He rightfully pointed out that once you accept one of these taboo relationships as a “marriage” you are conceding that “alternative” definitions of marriage are acceptable. Once you make that concession you will be on that infamous slippery slope that will lead to further concessions for polygamy, polyandry, or even incest. After all, what logical argument can you hold against those practices that would not apply to homosexuality? It is advantageous for society to encourage the restraint of sexual activity and keep it within boundaries that prevent us from destroying one another. Failure to encourage such restraint will result in a society that tolerates everything. We have a name for such a society. It’s called the Animal Kingdom, a place where the strong are predators that consume the weak and no creature has any rights except those enforced by tooth and claw. The quality of a society is not determined by what it tolerates but by what it does NOT tolerate. Remember that!

Lets make one thing nice and sparkling clear for our homosexual friends. Rick Warren, and all of us who consider ourselves Christians do not have to spend any time writhing in thought over this issue. For us it is pretty simple:

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22

If we truly are Christians, then we do not have the authority to tolerate, accept or condone homosexual behavior or homosexual marriage. We belong to the Kingdom of God. We have humbled ourself before him and accept his wisdom and his way. Our approval is NOT our property to give. Lashing out at Christians will not gain homosexuals favor with us. They should never expect us to endorse the homosexual lifestyle as an “equal” to the traditional family. It isn’t going to happen, not even by force!

It is one thing to tolerate the private choices made by free individuals. No one is out to suppress the behavior of consenting adults in the privacy of their own lives and no one should. Homosexuals argue that their “unions” are loving and committed relationships. Whoop de doo da day. I’m happy for them. This misses the point entirely. Marriage is a manifestation of not only the acceptance of the traditional family ideal, but also our desire to encourage it and create the conditions that will make it flourish. This is done for the betterment of the society as a whole, not because we are impressed with the fact that a couple loves each other. Society doesn’t care about that. Endorsing and encouraging homosexual marriages will benefit no one but homosexuals.

There are many reasons to oppose homosexual marriages. The square peg will never belong in the round hole. There is no new found wisdom or understanding about it. Homosexuals who insist on continuing to try to ram these “square peg to round hole” unions down our throats are acting out of pure SELFISHNESS, and nothing more. Championing homosexual marriage is not a noble pursuit and no-one needs flatter themselves into thinking they are more “enlightened” than the rest of us just because they are willing to tolerate or accept it.

Like it or not, the Bible does have the best warning for those who insist that homosexual marriage is just another choice of equal value to traditional marriage:

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
” - Isaiah 5:20-24

No my arrogant friends,  if you support the folly of homosexual marriage you are not wise, educated, enlightened or tolerant. You are just the latest in the long history of mankind to foolishly “call evil good and good evil.” We have seen your kind before, and you keep coming to the same result. No matter how hard you try, you cannot make putting a square peg in a round hole a “good” thing. There is no nobility in foolishness and there is no such thing as a noble fool…just a fool.

THE BETRAYAL OF MYSTERY BABYLON

  • Nov. 22nd, 2008 at 8:14 PM

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States. - U.S. Constitution Article II, Section 1

I have followed this story from the beginning and, like most people, I have been reluctant to put much faith in it’s validity. The media certainly has buried this story as deep as they can, for this will destroy them as certainly as the perpetrators of this scheme. Events are now are conspiring to bring this story out of the darkness of “urban legend” and into the light of the Supreme Court of the United States. It appears that now, after the election, the allegations that our president-elect is not who and what he appears to be are gaining traction. It’s a long and twisted tale of a man who may be a citizen of as many as four countries, or only three…and one of them would not be the United States! Allow me to present to you the conspiracy of all conspiracies, and one that, to some degree, has deceived us all.

“Deceivers are the most dangerous members of society. They trifle with the best affections of our nature, and violate the most sacred obligations.” - George Crabbe

Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetero, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham are all names that our president-elect has been known to use throughout his life. It is no small wonder, therefore, that so many people have been able to easily craft an image of Obama that fits their own hopes and wishes rather than conform to any sense of reality. You see there is no real Barack Obama. That may be the source of the magic that he wields over his hypnotized subjects. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy all bundled up into a perfect “all things to all people” world leader. Of course, that which never was, can never fail us. However we did elect somebody on November the 4th. Somebody who claims to have been born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Or was he? This is where our story begins. Hang on, this is going to take you through a lot of twists and turns.

It’s simple really. Most of us have had to produce our birth certificate at some point in our life to prove we are who we say we are. It is the one piece of evidence that can prove that Barack Obama is a natural born American citizen. However attorney Philip J Berg, a Democrat,  alleges that Barack Obama was in fact NOT born in the United States, but instead was born in Mombassa, Kenya.

In Hawaii there are two forms of registering a birth. A medical “birth certificate” filled out at hospital signed by doctor attesting to birth, weight, race etc. of the infant, and a legal document called a “certificate of live birth” which is filled out at a government office. This document is a short form for legal purposes based off the medical record of the “birth certificate.” It is this second document that the Obama campaign produced on their website for a short time early in the campaign to refute the rumors of Obama’s non-citizenship. They didn’t keep it there long, however, since it created more questions than it answered. Largely because a “certificate of live birth” is used when a “birth certificate” cannot be found, and a “certificate of live birth” can be filled out up to a year after the birth. Obviously a “certificate of live birth” does not carry the same legal weight as a “birth certificate” when the absolute certainty of the birth record is required, as should be the case when ascertaining the qualifications for the presidency.

Berg also claims that there is no information available as to which hospital Obama’s mother used in Hawaii. Maya Soetoro, the half-sister with whom Obama was raised, seems not to know where her own brother was born. In the Nov., 2004 interview by the Rainbow Newsletter Maya Soetoro said Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961 at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. In February, 2008 Maya was interviewed by the Star Bulletin. That time she told reporters that Obama was born on August 4, 1961 at the Kaliolani Medical Center for Women and Children.

Another lawsuit originating in Washington state alleges that a research team went to Mombassa, Kenya, and located a certificate registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr. at a Kenya Maternity Hospital, to his father, a Kenyan citizen and his mother, a U.S. citizen. Later investigators interestingly found that the records had been sealed and would not be made available. Convenient isn’t it? But it gets better.

Hawaii’s Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican,  has placed the Obama’s birth certificate under seal and instructed the state’s Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances. This was done just days after Obama visited Hawaii to see his dying grandmother and less than a week before the election. It appears a lot of people want to keep something hidden.

Berg also claims he has a recording of a telephone call from the Obama’s paternal grandmother confirming his birth in Kenya as well as signed affidavits testifying to the authenticity of the recording. According to his grandmother, she was present at the birth. Grandmothers, unlike politicians, have an unfailing ability to tell the truth. In fairness though, she probably is unaware of U.S. laws and doesn’t realize that it might actually harm Obama’s chances of holding the office.

In spite of what would appear to be a reasonable enough amount of evidence to merit further hearings in the court, Berg’s case was dismissed on October 24th by the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick on grounds that the Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lacked standing. A plaintiff wishing to have standing to sue must show (1) a particularized injury-in-fact, (2) evidence showing that that the party being sued actually caused the plaintiff’s particularized injury-in-fact, and (3) that adjudication of the matter would actually provide redress. You would think that ANY U.S. citizen should have standing to demand that a presidential candidate prove his qualifications. Especially since one birth certificate will usually suffice.

Berg then took the case to the next level, which is of course, the Supreme Court of the United States. There he presented a request to Justice David Souter to stay the election until Obama’s campaign produced three items:

1. Obama’s “vault” version (certified copy of his “original” long version) birth certificate
2. a certified copy of Obama’s Certificate of Citizenship
3. a certified copy of Obama’s oath of allegiance

Well, we had the election so you know that Justice Souter and the court did not halt the election. That was never going to happen without a full hearing of the case. There was not enough time for that. So now the Berg case sits somewhat in limbo as the Obama campaign has thus far failed to respond to a Writ of Certiorari. Apparently Obama has until Dec. 1 to respond to it if they wish. The case can still be taken up for review regardless of whether Obama responds or not, should the court decide they wish to hear it.

In the mean time another suit has been filed by presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson,  in California’s Superior Court seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of electors, and from transmitting to each presidential elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain. In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Senator Obama’s California electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified. Since Alan Keyes was in fact on the ballot as a presidential candidate he should have standing to sue.

But wait! There’s more. A lot more. You see there are many angles to this story. In Berg vs. Obama the main allegation is that Obama is disqualified because of evidence supporting the likelihood that he was born in Kenya and not the U.S. There is another case being tried in the courts that has a more unique point of view. Leo C. Donofrio, Applicant v. Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State alleges that even if it were proven he was born in Hawaii, because his father was born in Kenya, and having been born with split and competing loyalties, he is not a "natural born citizen" as required by Article 2, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution.

According to Donofrio the birth certificate and later Indonesian citizenship issues are irrelevant.  Since Barack Obama’s father was a Citizen of Kenya which was at the time of Obama’s birth under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, Obama was a British Citizen at birth, just like the framers of the Constitution, and therefore, even if he were to produce an original birth certificate proving he was born on U.S. soil, he still would not be eligible to be president.

The framers of the Constitution, at the time of their birth, were British citizens and that’s why they  declared that, while they were citizens of the United States, they themselves were not “natural born citizens.” Therefore they created the “grandfather clause” that would allow them to be president. It is very clear:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; - U.S. Constitution Article II, Section 1

They didn’t intend for future generations to be governed by a Commander In Chief who had any potential loyalty to another country. In Donofrio’s argument, both parents have to be U.S. citizens for their offspring to be considered a “natural born citizen.” Obama’s father was not an American citizen at the time and never attempted to become one. Interestingly enough, Obama’s British citizenship is something that the Obama campaign readily admitted. This was posted on his website during the campaign:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children. Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.” - FactCheck.org as quoted on Obama’s website

So as you can see, we clearly have a constitutional problem that needs cleaning up. Clearly the framers of the Constitution intended that a president not have competing loyalties. This was not an uncommon problem in Europe at the time of our founding. Often royal families would inter-marry across national borders creating all sorts of havoc that the framers were intentionally seeking to keep out of the politics of the United States. Therefore Donofrio is right, Obama cannot be a “natural born citizen,” as defined by the framers of the Constitution, by virtue of his dual citizenship at the time of his birth. Whether you believe it to be fair or not, it is the law and should be looked into.

“All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.” - Robert Southey

If we just left off here you would have enough information to know that we have a real problem. But Barack Obama is good at creating these type of problems so guess what? There is more.

As mentioned earlier in Berg’s request, he was asking for two things not pertaining to the birth of Obama. A certified copy of Obama’s “Certificate of Citizenship,” and a certified copy of Obama’s “Oath of Allegiance.” Why? Because, as we all should know, Obama was also once a citizen of Indonesia. As the story goes, Obama’s parents were divorced and his mother remarried Lolo Soetoro. This is where the other complications to Barack Obama’s qualifications to the presidency arise. Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married this Indonesian citizen and relocated herself and Obama to Indonesia wherein Obama’s mother naturalized her citizenship to Indonesia and Obama followed her naturalization, as he could not have attended public schools there otherwise.

This also is something that has not been disputed by the Obama campaign. The problem, of course, is that you can not hold dual citizenship and qualify to be president. Therefore there must be a record of Obama re-instating his U.S. citizenship and taking an “Oath of Allegiance.” Likewise he would also have to reside in the U.S. for 14 years afterward before he would be eligible to be president. That qualification certainly is not in doubt. However no record of his “Certificate of Citizenship” or an “Oath of Allegiance” has been presented. Unless Obama produces documents that prove otherwise, we must conclude that Obama failed to take the oath of allegiance when he turned eighteen. This in spite of the fact that he moved back to Hawaii to attend school and live with his grandparents in 1971. These documents would exist if either Obama, or his mother, had regained their U.S. citizenships. Where are they?

It has been shown that in 1981 Obama traveled to Pakistan using an Indonesian passport. At the time of his travels to Indonesia, Obama was twenty years old. He was well aware he maintained his Indonesian citizenship, and had yet to regain his United States citizenship. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship. Had Obama regained his United States citizenship, he would have been traveling on a United States passport. Obama’s registration in Indonesia was under the name Barry Soetoro. This poses another problem for our messianic deceiver.  According to Illinois state filings, when Obama registered as an attorney in 1991, under the name Barack Obama, he stated he did not have any former names. If there is one thing we are sure of, it’s that Obama is a man of many names and many places.

Consider another interesting twist in the story. We have all been led to believe Barack Obama is an incredibly smart man. We know he  attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School as well as his being president of the Harvard Law Review. There is no disputing that his education appears formidable. The Obama campaign took great delight in pointing out that John McCain ranked 894th out of a graduating class of 899 at the U.S. Naval Academy. However do you know where Mr. Obama ranked in his graduating class at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard? You don’t know because Obama would not release any of his school records. Many people have openly wondered who paid for Obama’s college education. Such things don’t particularly interest me, however it would be reasonable to assume that he possibly gained an advantage to admission to these prestigious schools by claiming to be a foreign student. Considering we know he used an Indonesian passport at the age of twenty, this would appear to be the secret that Obama is hiding. I’m sure his grades were as outstanding as his disciples faithfully assure us they must be. It looks like Obama is a master at manipulating the system to his advantage. A talent that he appears to retain to this very day. Unfortunately, with no record having been presented that proves he re-instated his U.S. citizenship, we are left to ponder the possibility we have elected a non-citizen to the highest office in the land. If so, we’re done for!

But alas, I did not lead you down this path just to show you that we have delivered ourselves into our own doom. I have come to bring you that which our hypnotized fellow citizens were so enraptured of during the campaign…hope. For you see, we still have a chance. One chance to expose the fraud that is either Barack Obama or all of these challenges against him. Chance, thy name is Clarence Thomas:

A case that challenges President-elect Barack Obama’s name on the 2008 election ballot citing questions over his citizenship has been scheduled for a “conference” at the U.S. Supreme Court. Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. This case is set for a conference Dec. 5, just 10 days before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet to make formal the election of Obama as the nation’s next president.

The Supreme Court’s website listed the date for the case brought by Leo C. Donofrio against Nina Wells, the secretary of state
in New Jersey, over not only Obama’s name on the 2008 election ballot but those of two others, Sen. John McCain and Roger Calero.
The case, unsuccessful at the state level, had been submitted to Justice David Souter, who rejected it. The case then was resubmitted to Justice Clarence Thomas. The next line on the court’s docket says: “DISTRIBUTED for Conference of December 5, 2008.”
If four of the nine justices vote to hear the case in full, oral argument may be scheduled. The action questions whether any of the three candidates is qualified under the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that a president be a “natural-born citizen.”
- WorldNet Daily

That’s right, the first of these many cases has landed into the Supreme Court and you have Justice Clarence Thomas to thank for it. You can also thank Barack Obama as well. Many of you may remember that during a campaign interview Obama was asked which of the nine justices would he have NOT nominated if he had the choice. Well, if you didn’t see the interview I bet you can guess his answer. Although I’m sure that had nothing to do with this.

Nonetheless, as I have shown the evidence against Obama is there to be seen and it is substantial. Now, the fate of the country, if not the entire free world, will be decided in a room with nine justices. No one from the outside is allowed in during these conferences. They are the ultimate in secrecy…

Five minutes before conference time, 9:30 or 10 a.m., the Justices are summoned. They exchange ritual handshakes and settle down at the long table. The Chief sits at the east end; the other Justices sit at places they have chosen in order of their seniority…

The Chief Justice opens the discussion, summarizing each case. The senior Associate Justice speaks next, and comment passes down the line. To be accepted for review, a case needs only four votes, fewer than the majority required for a decision on the case itself. Counsel for the litigants are directed to submit their printed briefs so that each Justice has a set several weeks before argument.

Let us hope they choose to hear the case in full, whatever the outcome may be. There are those who believe that the people of the United States might revolt in the event Obama is denied the presidency. Let them. A decent, armed citizenry WILL restore order. Nothing good can come from allowing someone to accede to the highest office in the land through deception. There are also those who claim this is merely republicans crying in their beer and being sore losers. The cases hitting the courts now were all initiated BEFORE the election. In the case of Berg, he wanted Obama removed from the democratic ticket even before he won it. These are serious matters. Anyone who would conspire to such a magnitude as to deceive an entire nation has not got the the best interests of that nation at heart.

Obama can provide proof of his true qualifications if there are records of them. It is entirely his responsibility to prove he is qualified. Unfortunately there appears to be plenty of proof that he may not be. This will not go away even if the Supreme Court abdicates its responsibility to look into the matter. As Secretary of State of the United States it also falls to Condoleeza Rice to certify the results of the election. She too should demand that Obama provide proof of his origin of birth as well as proof that he re-instated his citizenship. I would say our best hope for review comes from the courts. Certainly you shouldn’t look to the media for any help. You won’t find this story there unless, or until, it explodes out of the Supreme Court. The media made Obama, largely by omitting anything negative that might be found. Their credibility, or what’s left of it, goes down with Obama. They will sink with his ship.

“Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? - Jeremiah 9:4-9

Melt them did he say? Ouch! I wouldn’t want to be that nation, would you? There are those who fear that Obama is the Antichrist, the infamous “Beast” from the Biblical book of Revelation. As I have said before, he is NOT the Antichrist. However, the person who is the Antichrist will not ascend to his position of power without help from other world leaders. If we are currently living in the Biblical last days, that would require the consent of the United States. Barack Obama, especially if he is so great a deceiver to have pulled off such a fantastic scheme, would be just the kind of enabler the Antichrist will need.

If you will recall your Biblical eschatology, after the Beast ascends to power he turns against a portion of his power base and destroys it. The great “Mystery Babylon,” portrayed as the most powerful nation on earth, is annihilated in just one hour. A man who could deceive an entire nation, could easily watch it burn. A president who attained his office through deceit could easily order its powerful nuclear arsenal to remain sheathed even as his country is obliterated. Defenseless by executive order of the Commander in Chief. Once the “United States Of Mystery Babylon” is destroyed, at the hands of the Beast and his presidential conspirator, who will dare oppose him? Such events don’t seem so far fetched anymore do they?

For those of you who were hypnotized into voting for Barack H. Obama, a true “citizen of the world,” I have but one question to ask you: What have you done?
 

 

Obama Manchurian Pictures, Images and Photos


I love to watch the History channel. Particularly, I love to watch the shows they do on UFO abductions and religious cults. It is fascinating to study the willful self-deception of people who are consumed with violating God’s first commandment. You know, the one about not having any other gods before him. The self-deceived, by the very act of their self-deception, have created their own little universe, complete with its own set of truths and realities, that essentially have placed themselves, or their chosen surrogate, as the godhead of this new universe. The unprecedented subservient and self-congratulatory celebrations that have been taking place throughout the country and, most disturbingly, the media, following the election of Barack Obama have a juvenile quality to it akin to the intoxicated behavior one expects at a college football game from the fools who paint their otherwise half naked bodies in freezing temperatures. Devotees of the new messiah sound all too familiarly like a man describing a “flying saucer” to a skeptical reporter. “They mean us no harm. They’ve come to help us.” Of course they have…

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” - Barack Obama

There will be no more talk of change from those abducted by the campaign of Barack Obama. Now their leader must prove to us all that he means us no harm. That he wants to help us. Change he promised. Now change must be delivered. Ahh…but what change? From his first choices for his White House staff as well as the cabinet appointments it is pretty clear that the change isn’t going to be represented by new faces in the administration. Nope, its the same cast of characters we have seen before in the form of rank and file establishment democrats. Surprised? I hope not. The American left has been trying to remake America into a mirror image of European socialism since the time of Franklin Roosevelt. All of the characters for that makeover have been major players in the democratic party for a long time. Now, with majorities in both houses of congress and the White House in their control you are going to get the change you voted for. Unfortunately it will be the change that everyone in the media swore was a right wing fabrication before the election. For at least the next two years socialism will be on the offensive in America.

Its not like this hasn’t happened before. !992, 1976 and 1964 all come to mind. However the democrats would have you believe this is more akin to 1932 when the country truly was in dire straits. However a quick check of the facts not only shows this to be untrue but belies the true nature of the so-called economic crisis that supposedly holds us in its grasp. We are constantly told that unemployment is a major problem yet is it? Sure, the unemployment figures are on the rise but they are only at 6.5%. Compare that with the 7.5% rate in 1992 or the 7.1%rate in 1976 and things don’t seem so out of control. Certainly they aren’t at the 25% levels of 1932-33!

How about the inflation rate? Certainly that will betray the total mess we are constantly being told that the Bush administration is leaving for the messiah to fix. Well the “misery index” as it came to be known during the Carter administration shows a somewhat high rate of 4.9% for the month of October. Although for this year and the previous year it has been between 3.3% and 3.8%. Not particularly calamitous when compared with 3.38% of 1992 or even the 5.75% of 1976. Although it should be pointed out that four years of democratic policies such as the always prescribed, yet never successful, “stimulus packages” improved the inflation rate to a whopping 13.58% by the end of the Carter administration in 1980. Did I say improvement? Pardon me. Still it is nowhere near the disaster of the 1931-32 situation which saw 33% DEFLATION. This was largely assisted by a meddling Roosevelt administration’s insistence on raising interest rates. Carter himself repeated this act of genius during his administration getting them up to a whopping 21.5%. That will kill any economy. By contrast the Bush administration has managed this so-called “crisis” by reducing interest rates from 4.75 to 1.5% over the last year. No, Mr. Obama doesn’t have that much of a challenge no matter what the media tells you. Some people might even say the fundamentals of our economy are sound. Oh wait, somebody did say that. He lost the election to Mr. Charisma. Economic markets work just fine, its the government that is the problem. Giving the government more influence will only make it worse.

“We are facing the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime and we are going to have to act swiftly to resolve it.” - President-Elect Barack Obama

No, we are not facing an economic “crisis.” We are in the throes of an elaborately planned scheme to gain control of our economy. Entirely planned by and executed by the democrats. Does anybody else find the timing of this event just a little bit conspicuous? Keep in mind that this situation was entirely the result of policies enacted during democratic administrations that insisted on forcing banks and other lending facilities to provide loans to those they knew could not repay them. Conveniently this calamity raises its head a few weeks before a major election. Before you accuse me of going too far on a “conspiracy” bender it is wise to remember that only 5% of mortgages are in foreclosure. It was the excessive selling, trading, insuring and other fantastic pursuits of this marginal part of the market that drove the credit market to a halt. Do you believe that at least 5% of the people who work on Wall Street, or in the banking industry could be democrats? Yea…its possible. If it is true would it not be likely that once Barack Obama takes office all this will magically right itself with him getting all the glory? Perhaps, but don’t be so sure. Remember the name of this game is regulation and government control.

This is not necessarily about economics at all. That was just a tool used to get Barack Obama elected. Just as the economy was used to bring Bill Clinton into office back in 1992. Hey, it worked before. Why not use it again? It worked again. Yet there is a different feeling to it this time. Take yourself back to England in 1945. The British people showed their appreciation of Winston Churchill’s war leadership by voting him out of office and voting in socialists. This in spite of all he had done for them in his conduct of the war against Nazi Germany. Why? The socialists promised “freedom from want” by offering all sorts of “something-for-nothing” goodies like government guaranteed employment, nationalized universal health care, and a cradle-to-grave welfare state. Sound familiar? Churchill, on the other hand, appeared to offer only “more of the same.” With the war concluded the “God and country” message no longer resonated with an electorate that could not perceive any immediate threat. The Soviet Union notwithstanding, the war weary electorate wanted hope and change. They got it. At least their population truly did have a reason to feel “war weary.” I grow tired of hearing how the United States is war weary when the only people who have had to make any sacrifice for the “War On Terror” are the soldiers and their families.

“It’s time to be patriotic, time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.” - Vice President elect Joe Biden’ attitude on paying taxes.

In 2008 we had an electorate blinded by the success (yes I said success) of the Bush administration’s ability to protect the homeland from further terrorist attacks thus deluding itself that no further realistic danger exists. Many on the political left have concluded that the “War On Terror” is itself a myth. The electorate was further blinded by an economic “crisis” designed and delivered by the democrats who then exploited it for their own gain as their messianic candidate offered his own version of a “cradle-to-grave” welfare state. Hell, he was even  HONEST about it by outwardly saying he wanted to use the tax system to “spread the wealth.” And there is where the treachery hides!  41% of whites, 56% of blacks, 59% of American Indians and 40% of Asians and pacific Islanders pay absolutely NO federal income taxes. They have ZERO tax liability. Yet each and every one of them had an equal voice at the ballot box as those who do fund the federal government. The Obama campaign, and its community organizing surrogates such as ACORN, trolled endlessly through these communities looking for people to register to vote and secured their votes by promising them a tax cut! When people who don’t pay taxes are offered a  tax cut this is called buying an election! It is estimated that 49% of folks voting this time do not pay income taxes and voted to steal money from the taxpayers to put into their own pockets. Joe Biden thinks that the rest of us should see this blatant purchase of votes with our money as “patriotic.”

This is a complete disenfranchisement of the taxpayers voice in government and goes against every principle of the American Revolution! Now we can be outvoted by people who have nothing at stake in the government except what the government can give them. This is an intolerable situation that a moral and decent people can not and will not tolerate. This country was formed by men who were paying taxes to a king that was not giving them a voice in the government. At least King George was supplying an army to defend the colonies. What do all of these voters that ACORN uncovered contribute? Nothing! They are parasites. It is all well and good to be charitable to those in need but now we find ourselves at the mercy of the “useless” and the “pathetic” who are being encouraged to use the ballot box as a means of enslaving us. Now they dictate tax policy to us? Lets face it, in the last election the taxpayer was told to send his money to Washington and shut up. If they want more money, they will take more money. They do NOT answer to us and they will NOT listen to us. That will be very apparent, very fast.

Our founding fathers believed in the concept of a “better man” and conversely of lesser ones. It was never their intention that the lesser ones would be granted the opportunity to vote…at all! Let alone use the election process to lord over better men. There is a reason why the American revolution was a uniquely successful and enduring one compared to other “revolutions” throughout history. It was not an uprising of the downtrodden, pathetic and poor masses but instead was a revolt from the productive sector of society. It began as a taxpayer revolt! It is time for us to stand up for the idea of voter reform. There is no reason for a taxpayer and a parasite to have an equal voice in government, and we must put a stop to it. If we fail to corral these parasites we guarantee ourselves an irresponsible spendthrift government. The parasites know no other way.

We have become a country that fears freedom, because freedom has consequences. It produces both excellence and failure in equal measure. The coward cannot risk failure so a system like socialism appeals to him. It creates an atmosphere where there is always safety in numbers and the outcomes are always equal. That's why you hear socialists throw the word “fair” around so often. According to the socialist, the only fair game is a tie game. They divide us into small “minorities” that need protection and then offer to provide that protection. The price they extract, however, is our individualism. They have no use for individuals. All of us must work for the good of the “collective.” That’s also why in our socialist run public school system the only thing our children learn is to tolerate everything and criticize nothing in the name of “moral equivalency.” Everything is of equal worth. If they are lucky enough to get a student loan that they will resent having to pay back, then they will go to college and get a degree in “self-esteem.” And these are the “smart” people who tell the rest of us that voting for Obama was the right thing to do, though they can’t explain why.

“Obama stood against the fierce tide of history and achieved the unimaginable” - Rev. Raphael G. Warnock

Huh? Was he watching the same presidential election that the rest of us were? The worst element of this great hypnotization of America was the way the media, in all its forms, openly promoted the messianic candidate by creating the illusion of some great redemption the country would go through by electing the first African-American president. The “fierce tide of history” was working for Obama thanks to the blind loyalty of the loyal democratic sycophants in the mainstream media. They didn’t report the news, they created the news and in so doing, they made Obama the President. A great example of that was hearing Tom Brokaw say after the election that no one really knows Obama. Well if the press had done their job everyone would know they just elected the least experienced and most liberal president in the history of the country. Tom, you even had control of one of the debates! Why didn’t YOU find out who he was and what he was about? Everyone was swept away by this great fictional story about a man who truly is not great. Like the flying saucers on the History Channel, there was nothing there…but nonetheless everyone swears they saw it…and of course he wants to help us. He means us no harm.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. The purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” - Theodore Dalrymple

Like another well known hypnotizer of the masses, Obama likes to write books about himself. Books in which he reveals much about what he will do in office. He clearly stated that he sought out Marxist teachers in college. What kind of person would do that? A Marxist! Of course you can’t say that because the democrats, in all their politically correct glory, ingeniously nominated Barack Obama entirely because he was an African-American. It proved to be a useful novelty. Not only did it seduce the media with the foolish illusion that this was a great moment in history, but it also insulated their candidate from the severe questioning and criticism that is due a presidential nominee. Say anything they don’t like, and you are branded a racist. You can’t argue with success though. It worked. The public did not vote for Barack Obama. They voted for the idea of Barack Obama. Even Obama himself doesn’t know what that entails, but it sets a lot of people up for a great disappointment.

Of course the world is in love with Barack Obama. There are all these wonderful stories about how his election will improve America’s image abroad and the celebrations overseas often look as juvenile as the ones here. However all is not as they would have you believe. World leaders like Vladmir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez are celebrating the naive and inexperienced Obama’s arrival on the world scene much the same way a school of sharks celebrates the arrival of a naive seal swimming into waters it is likewise unprepared for. The only question is which one will sink their teeth into him first. Unfortunately, when Obama is devoured, so are we all. Nonetheless expect him to always remain outwardly calm, cool and collected. Thats all he has. When the next terrorist attack occurs, and it will happen swiftly after he assumes control, expect Obama to do…nothing. At least not to the terrorists and those who support them. That’s what Joe Biden meant when he said that an Obama administration would be challenged and their immediate response would not look like the right one. There will essentially be no response, just as their was none for the constant string of them through the Clinton administration. A little bit of fear is good to keep the population in line. Perhaps that is what Obama meant when he said:

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Hmm, kind of reminds you of the kind of security force that came to be in 1930’s era Germany. How well did that work out? You can’t make this stuff up.

Don’t expect Obama to solve the so-called financial crisis either. The stock market has plummeted since his election in a way that is unprecedented in its history. Obama promised to tax the rich. See the rich take their money and run…and with them goes the jobs that you have, and could have had, if that money stayed in the market. He promised to “spread the wealth.” Unfortunately there won’t be any wealth to dole out. Four years from now when he runs for re-election you can expect him to still be blaming George Bush for what will then be his own failures. Maintaining a constant state of crisis is necessary to convince us to part with our liberties you understand. Its interesting that one of the first ideas being tossed about is the prospect of the government taking over everyone’s 401K plans. Oh, it will be voluntary at first. But as the crisis lingers and all that real money is just sitting there…

Of course there will be other crises to contend with. Global warming, energy, health care, and of course the imposition of the “fairness doctrine” to suppress any criticism of the administration’s policies. All criticism henceforth shall be referred to as “hate speech.” A veritable cornucopia of socialism is on the horizon. Individual rights will soon be an endangered species.

I just love listening to Sunday morning news pundits as they try to figure out how the Obama administration will govern. They say silly things like Obama “moved” to the center during the campaign so thats how he will govern. No he won’t. He didn’t “move” anywhere. He told us what we wanted to hear so we would vote for him! He told us what he was told to say. Obama is no leader. He is a follower. He will do what he has always done. He will be manipulated by the extreme left of the democratic party because he has no experience at doing anything else. When Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid send him socialist policies to sign into law you will hear Barack Obama say “Yes we can.” If his desire for a national security force is an example of his own thinking, Reid and Pelosi might turn out to be conservative by comparison. How’s that for a thought?

Yes, it is entirely possible the United States of America died November 4th. We have elected a man whose past associations would have prohibited him from getting an FBI security clearance and given him control of OUR security. This was achieved largely through a process of political correctness, media manipulation, charismatic hypnosis and of course, trolling for the votes of parasites with the expectation of  latching them onto a government nipple from which they will forever vote to stay attached. If we accept this we are finished. We must reform the voting system and restore the greater influence where it belongs: to the productive, working taxpayer. We no longer hold the American voter to a high standard. We can therefore expect to get the government we deserve. We certainly did this time. One that will reflect the parasitic values that elected it. This election was a national hypnosis, deception and disenfranchisement of Biblical proportions. One destined to make a fine program on someones History Channel in the future. Perhaps with a notorious Styx song about angels and a UFO abduction as its soundtrack. Of course, they meant us no harm. They were here to help us.

Abandon all hope, for change is in the wind…

 

I’m sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I’ve got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And I’ll try, oh lord, I’ll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we’ll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
