Can Mormon Glenn Beck Unite the Christian Right?

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

Glenn Beck’s efforts to transform himself from Fox News demagogue into a religious leader for Tea Party America has a lot of commentators discussing the feasibility of a Mormon convert leading a wary evangelical and Catholic right in a faith-driven cause.

While there are significant roadblocks hindering Beck’s quest for leadership in the Christian Right, he wouldn’t be the first Mormon to advocate a right-wing alliance that stretches across faiths.

Beck follows hundreds of Mormon “pro-family” activists who have united with conservative Catholics and evangelicals to form a common front in the culture wars.

Jimmy Carter Says US More Polarized Than During Civil War

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

In day where Jimmy Carter stole headlines for referring to his own tenure post-presidency as “superior” to that of other presidents, I thought it was somewhat disappointing that his real mind-bender was seemingly overlooked – even though it came in the very same interview as his other absolutely ridiculous comments.

Remarking on the “state” of the United States, after being asked by Brian Williams if he views it as “glass half-full or half-empty”, Carter said he thought President Obama suffers from a Washington that has become more polarized than it was during the time of Abraham Lincoln and the “initiation of the ‘war between the states.’”

“This country has become so polarized that its almost astonishing…. Not only with the red and blue states… President Obama suffers from the most polarized situation in Washington that we have ever seen – even maybe than the time of Abraham Lincoln and the initiation of the war between the states.”

Marine general opposes repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

Gen. James Amos, who is poised to become the new Marine Corps commandant, opposes repealing the current “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that bars openly gay and lesbian soldiers from the military.

The Senate Armed Services Committee, which held a hearing Tuesday on the nomination of Amos to become commandant, released 37 pages of policy questions the general answered in advance.”

In my personal view the current law and associated policy have supported the unique requirements of the Marine Corps and thus I do not recommend its repeal,” Amos wrote.”My primary concern with proposed repeal is the potential disruption to cohesion that may be caused by significant change during a period of expended combat operations,” Amos said in his answer to the committee’s advance questions….Amos said he had heard that at Marine bases and in Marines’ responses to an online survey, the feeling “is predominantly negative.”

He added: “But I don’t know that as a fact.”

Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh/ Obama’s Questionable Natural Born Citizenship

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

Mr. Limbaugh,You have FAILED to defend the Constitution in the important matter of Obama’s very questionable natural born status! On those rare occasions that you have mentioned the topic less than 5 total minutes you have treated it like a joke.

I am mystified that you have done this.The only consequence, Mr. Limbaugh, for directing attention to Obama’s eligibility as a natural born citizen would have been a little ridicule from the mainstream Marxist media.

If you fail to defend the Constitution in time of relative peace and security, only a FOOL would expect you to defend the Constitution in the face of real tyranny, tanks in the streets, and cattle cars filled to the brim? Only a fool would expect you to do what is right and brave.

Personally, I will never fully trust you and your opinions again. Some things are deal breakers. That you have failed to cover the important question of having a constitutionally eligible president is a deal breaker for me.By the way, LTC Lakin is facing court martial for having dared Obama to prove his natural born citizenship. LTC Lakin is brave and honorable man.

Hopefully, you, Mr. Limbaugh, you will have one thousandth of the courage of this military officer, and you will do what is right. You will give LTC Lakin the generous time on your program that his legal case deserves.Mr. Limbaugh, that little itty bitty phrase in the Constitution about having a natural born citizen for a president is not a JOKE!

Respectfully,Wintertime

Obama Has No Intentions of Enforcing Our Immigration Laws

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

The American Political Action Committee AmeriPAC posted an article online on September 17, 2010 titled, “Obama Gives Illegals Get Out of Jail Card Free” written by Alan M. Gottlieb, Chairman that shows that “the Obama regime has radically changed the federal immigration enforcement stategy to REDUCE the threat of deportation for millions of illegals.

”The article goes on to explain that Obama has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE to dismiss deportation cases for those illegals who haven’t committed “serious crimes.” To my way of thinking, just crossing the border without legal authority is a “serious crime” and using that criterion they should ALL be deported. But even so, if more tolerance could reduce that violation of our laws to less than a “serious crime,” we know that it will only be a matter of hours, and more likely minutes, before they do commit a “serious crime.”And as Gottlieb further states, “Obama has turned a blind eye on the surge in violent crimes committed by illegals across the country and is now giving them more rights than law-abiding Americans.”

There is no question that Obama’s prime motive for ordering such a radical order counter to proper law enforcement and protection of our sovereignty laws is as apparent as a bright floodlight:

‘Keep them here until at least after they have voted on November 2, 2010.’

He must think that we Americans are as dumb as most of the actions are that he takes every day.

He isn’t fooling anyone but himself and just piling up more and more evidence to be used against him for impeachment.

On the other hand, perhaps he has seen the projections that have surfaced in YouTube.com video that has recently surfaced and is now making the rounds of the Internet landing in my INBOX today, Sep. 18, 2010. If true; I say ‘if’ because nowhere on the film did I see any mention of its authors, origins or persons responsible for production,

Gun Ownership Rises to All-Time High, Violent Crime Falls to 35-Year Low

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

Gun Ownership Rises to All-Time High, Violent Crime Falls to 35-Year LowNational Rifle Association of America, Institute for Legislative ActionCoinciding with a surge in gun purchases that began shortly before the 2008 elections, violent crime decreased six percent between 2008 and 2009, including an eight percent decrease in murder and a nine percent decrease in robbery.

1 Since 1991, when violent crime peaked, it has decreased 43 percent to a 35-year low. Murder has fallen 49 percent to a 45-year low.2 At the same time, the number of guns that Americans own has risen by about 90 million. Predictions by gun control supporters, that increasing the number of guns, particularly handguns and so-called “assault weapons,” would cause crime to increase, have been proven profoundly lacking in clairvoyance.4Crimes per 100,000 populationYear Total Violent Crime Murder Rape Robbery Aggravated Assault1991 758.1 9.8 42.3 272.7 433.32008 457.5 5.4 29.7 145.7 276.72009 429.4 5.0 28.7 133.0 262.8Trend, 2008-2009 -6% -8% -4% -9% -5%Trend, 1991-2009 -43% -49% -32% -51% -39%More Guns: There are well over 250 million privately-owned firearms in the U.S., including nearly 100 million handguns and tens of millions of “assault weapons” – the types of firearms that gun control supporters have tried the hardest to get banned5 – and the number of firearms typically rises about 4 million per year.

Privatize Footballby S.M. Olivaby S.M. Oliva

Recently by S.M. Oliva:

The Media and the Regime:

Joined at the Hip In 1874, students from Harvard University and Canada‘s McGill University played a two-game football series in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The first game was played under Harvard’s Association Football rules, what we know today as soccer. The second game was played by McGill’s rules, a variant of rugby. The McGill rules proved so popular with the Harvard players they adopted and taught them to other eastern schools. The next year, Harvard played Tufts University in what was likely the first game of “American football.”By 1876, students from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia had formed the Intercollegiate Football Association to develop and maintain common playing rules.

Among the IFA’s first leaders was Walter Camp, a Yale student-player credited with developing many of the familiar rules of American football, including the set play from scrimmage, the down-and-distance system, and limiting each team to 11 players on the field. Camp also embodied the notion of “amateurism”; although he remained active in coaching and promoting football throughout his life, he became a businessman and eschewed playing or coaching football for money.

Support Your Local Army of Occupation by William Norman Grigg

Support Your Local Army of Occupationby William Norman Griggby William Norman GriggRecently by William Norman Grigg:

Blowback, Provocation, and Perpetual War

“Wouldn’t it be great if it were like this all the time?” commented a pleasant middle-aged gentleman as the two of us contemplated the large gathering of armed men in camouflage who had materialized in Payette’s Centennial Park.

“I feel really secure with these guys around.”"Actually, I’d feel much more secure if the guns were in the hands of people who aren’t government employees,” I replied, prompting a puzzled look from my new acquaintance.Centennial Park is located just inside the Snake River boundary separating Idaho from Oregon. For reasons I’ve yet to learn, every time I visit the park to do calisthenics and sprints – regardless of the hour of day – I’ll receive a visit from at least one police officer, who will typically do a very slow pass by my little exercise area while I’m huffing and sweating.

On this particular afternoon, however, the park was literally swarming with camouflage-clad “police” from the Malheur County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Response Team, in the company of at least one Payette County officer. They arrived in a caravan of more than a half-dozen vehicles, one of which was pulling a trailer carrying a large motorboat.”Are you guys doing a training exercise?” I inquired of one fellow as he unpacked what appeared to be an AR-15.”We’re just playin,’” he replied with a perfunctory smile.

That response was quite similar to the description offered by SWAT team member Michael Hale of a training exercise conducted just a few weeks earlier just outside of Vale, Oregon.

Gangsta Government: ‘Sit down, shut up, because you have no say’

History rewritten by Obama in Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute speech

September 21, 2010 1 comment

Let me explain what I was referring to in yesterday’s post concerning President Obama’s speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. I referred to Obama’s “warped view of American history,” but kept the post focused on his exclusion of “by our Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence.

Tip for the president: Mexico declared their independence in 1821, so “Mexico” did not exist at the founding of our great country. Yet he refers to Mexicans populating what would be the United States “long before” America was even an “idea”?

Rand Paul: If Obama Wants to “Take On the Tea Party, I’ve Got a Plane Ticket with his Name on It”

Here is video of Rand Paul talking to Neil Cavuto yesterday, where he said “if President Obama wants to take on the Tea Party, I’ve got a plane ticket with his name on it.

Send him on down to Kentucky – he can start here.”Paul was referring to reports that the White House is considering an ad campaign to attack the Tea Party Movement.

Paul does not believe the attacks will work, because while Obama and the Democrats try to portray the Tea Party as “extremist,” most people do not see a “Balanced Budget Amendment” as extremist.

On ObamaCare, Paul said he supports repeal of ObamaCare, and starting over on the whole issue of Health Care.

Islam’s tentacles enveloping U.S.

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

The proposed Ground Zero mosque in New York City has been a focal point for those wanting to expand Islam‘s influence in America, but it’s not the only front on which the nation is facing the advance of Muslim interests.There are more than 3,000 mosques in the U.S., and work is being done on several major projects that have neighbors alarmed to the point of resistance.

One of the hot-button mosques is the proposed Temecula Valley Islamic Center. Land for the project was purchased several years ago, but a number of people in the Southern California town have an organized campaign to derail the project.Get “Why We Left Islam” now from the people who published it – WND Books.Opponents have held signs on street corners, and a number of the protesters say their concerns include many facets other than being “anti-Muslim.”One of the leading spokesmen for the mosque opponents is Mano Bakh, who fled Iran 30 years ago after the Shia-backed Iranian Islamic RevolutionBakh believes it’s appropriate to oppose the mosque because there are two sides to Islam.

“The main reason is that there are two segments to Islam, the thing that calls itself a religion. One is the religious part of it to pray and the other one is to Shariah law, the way of life,” Bakh explained.Story continues below

Grayson Sends Letter Demanding Halt Of Illegal Foreclosures, Calls Out “Largest Seizure Of Private Property Ever Attempted By Banks And Government”

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

The key story from this morning was the Bloomberg report that GMAC Bank had halted foreclosures in 23 states, following disturbing news from last week that rekindled the latent debate over whether servicer banks do in fact own deeds to mortgages on which they foreclose on, and whether the entire foreclosure process is in fact fraudulent one judge found it to be so, creating a massive headache precedent for the banker community.

Yet the company which initially agreed with Bloomberg’s version of events, is now retracing and claiming that foreclosures are in fact continuing… with a footnote. Reuters reports: “GMAC Mortgage, a unit of Ally Financial Inc, is continuing with all new residential foreclosures despite a report it had stopped them, a spokeswoman said on Monday. But some evictions have been suspended while the company reviews its internal procedures, the company said.” Maybe the company can clarify just what event catalyzed the decision to suspend evictions, and specifically which “internal procedures” are being reviewed. Also, it is about time for the ABA to step in and share some insight on a topic that has millions of Americans suddenly in arms.

And since that won’t happen, it is up to the one or two politicians who are not in the bankers’ and the Fed’s pockets to raise some noise. Enter Alan Grayson who in a letter just released to a Florida Supreme Court Justice says:”If the reports I am hearing are true, the illegal foreclosures taking place represent the largest seizure of private property ever attempted by banks and government entities.”

Thank God, the myth of Obama has finally been punctured in the minds of many. As with the Daniel Dravot character (played by Sean Connery) in “The Man Who Would be King,” the natives have now seen Obama bleed, and they’re not happy.

He is bleeding America, and he won’t stop until somebody (hopefully the Republicans starting January) stops him.

After all, why would he listen to the people or compromise with anyone? Despite his extolling of uncertainty, when he has his “ongoing conversation with God” and is asking himself questions, I tend to think he views the answers as most infallible, indeed.

Government Prepares To Seize Paychecks As Statist Cancer Explodes

September 21, 2010 Leave a comment

Fresh round of economic fascism is about forcing us to beg big government for handouts in return for our own enslavementundefinedPaul Joseph Watson & Alex JonesPrison Planet.comMonday, September 20, 2010Forget big government – the same elite whose policies caused the financial collapse are now ready to launch the next phase of their fascist takeover of the economy – by forcing businesses to send employee paychecks straight to the government, who would then deduct the “appropriate tax” before the employee receives their wage, as the statist cancer of collectivism grows.

The proposal represents another hammer blow to financial privacy, as the establishment moves towards a total cashless society where every transaction is tracked, traced and controlled by the authorities.“The UK’s tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and the pay the employee’s by bank transfer,” reports CNBC.

The system would be run by the same organization, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs HMRC, that has become notorious for its botched handling of data and incorrect tax calculations which have forced people to spend months and even years trying to claim back unfairly claimed money seized by the taxman.But this story is about far more than the threat of mere bureaucracy or bumbling incompetence – this is about the system exploiting the economic crisis it caused as a pretext to completely dominate and control our lives.This is about the state handing itself the power to arbitrarily raise taxes to any level it desires and then automatically seizing the money with no chance of redress or petition on behalf of the taxpayer.

Allied to the proposal will be a new program that will force middle-class families to take government “lie detector tests,” which are notoriously unreliable and inadmissible in court, as part of intrusive tax investigations into their financial affairs.

COMMUNISTS, SOCIALISTS AND THE SEIU UNITE

by JB Williams,

©2010

According to Wikipedia, the Communist Party USA is affiliated with “the U.S. labor movement generally.”Sept. 20, 2010 — For years, we have been telling American citizens that the Communist Party USA and Socialist Party USA members joined forces in an operation known today as the Democratic Socialists of America.

Instead of working outside the two party systems, they established DSAUSA to work inside the two party system.We have documented that both the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Congressional Black Caucus are legislative apparatuses of the Democratic Socialists of America, all of which is openly documented on the DSAUSA site.

The communist are not coming folks, they are already here, and they are the most effective political juggernaut in America today!On October 2, 2010 – The Democratic Socialists of America have organized a March on DC to defend public sector labor unions for government employees paid for by your tax dollars. In other words, they are marching against every American taxpayer.SEIU, now the nation’s largest labor union, is openly promoting the Democratic Socialist event on 10.02.10 and just wait to see which politicians show up in support.

Labor unions represent only 17% of the nation’s work force, only 9% of the nation’s population. Yet through their unified and well organized efforts, they run this country today, via their Progressive and Black Caucuses and today’s Democratic Socialist Party, the DNC.Who represents the other 91% of the nation, the other 83% of American workers who still believe in FREE WILL and the right to work, earn, own and pass down, without the tyranny of labor union thugs and an abusive government?

Obama goes to church to hear a Muslim speaker!

Yesterday, on Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Obama family attended church for only the third time in a year. They went on foot to the St. John’s Episcopal Church situated across the Lafayette Park.But what is widely not reported by the White House and the MSM is that on that particular Sunday in that particular church, Dr. Ziad Asali, M.D., a Muslim, founder and president of the American Task Force on Palestine, was the guest speaker.

He was there to speak on the subject of “Prospects of the two-state solution in the Middle-East.”According to the website of the American Task Force on Palestine, it is a “non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, DC.” The organization describes itself as “dedicated to advocating that it is in the American national interest to promote an end to the conflict in the Middle East through a negotiated agreement that provides for two states – Israel and Palestine – living side by side in peace and security.”Dr. Ziad J. Asali is described as “a long-time activist on Middle East issues” who has testified to both chambers of Congress about Palestinian interests, increased U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority, and “Israel’s disproportionate use of force” in Gaza.

A retired physician, Asali received his early medical training at the American University of Beirut. He previously served as President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee ADC and Chairman of the American Committee on Jerusalem ACJ, which he also co-founded He also served as the President of the Arab-American University Graduates AAUG.

It’s a Long Way Back to the Constitution

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

Back when Candidate Obama announced that he was only five days away from “fundamentally transforming the United States,” most people didn’t know what that meant any more than they knew who Obama was.

Obama was true to his word, and in just under two years, the attacks on our values and institutions have changed the country in fundamental ways.

On the bright side, if not for the arrogant and reckless blitzkrieg that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid unleashed on the country, it is doubtful that comprehensive grassroots resistance would have materialized. Consequently, it appears as though Mr. Obama has reawakened a sleeping giant.For generations, Americans were the proverbial frogs in the warming kettle, slowly losing their freedoms but with little concern.

In a sense, we may be thankful that President Obama cranked up the burner to a full flame without comprehending how the American people might respond.To the bewilderment of the ruling class, the American people responded by flooding the congressional town hall meetings in the summer of 2009, demanding that their legislators “read the bill” before passing volumes of sea-change legislation.

After the protests of the people fell on deaf ears, the people began to organize. Ironically, the former community voting-block organizer witnessed the American people organize in a way and at a level that can be described only as unprecedented in United States history.

Now, with the influence and success of the Tea Party movement in the midterm primaries, there is much debate over whether the movement will harm the GOP‘s chances of taking the House and/or Senate in the fall elections.

Harvard Lobotomies and the Disgrace of the Economics Profession

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

The truth is that modern Economics has been designed to completely hide the monetary system that hovers above the economyThe truth is that modern Economics has been designed to completely hide the monetary system that hovers above the economy.

It assumes money is just a medium of exchange floating through the economy to facilitate a free market and generate wealth.

At times that has been true, but today it’s probably the biggest lie of modern history. The current system does not generate wealth and freedom for most people. It generates debt and servitude. And it is not a free market. Today’s money flows from a top-down imperial power system expanding globally. It creates a master-servant relationship because all money comes from privately held debt.Let me say that again.

ALL MONEY COMES FROM DEBT for those of us who suffered the most indoctrination by attending schools like Harvard, let’s pause here for a moment so we can catch up to the rest of the class.

This means in order for governments, businesses, and people to have the liquidity necessary to live, they must agree to sign over a claim on their assets to banks. As the banking system inflates over time passing out credit, which makes everyone feel good with more digits in their accounts, it gathers claims on all the assets in the system for its private capital holders. Admittedly, this is one way of facilitating development good students would’ve figured out a better way had they not been stifled.

But it’s also the method for transferring everyone else’s assets to the balance sheets of the capital holders behind the banks once deflation sets in.This is what we’re facing today. The global banking system has a claim on most assets in the world except those in places like Iran, so it’s no surprise the military is gearing up to conquer the region for Wall Street and its Harvard employees…like JP Morgan Chase moving in on the mineral assets seized in Afghanistan because it’s a primary bank that pays the military-industrial complex to conquer territory for it.

The Sword & Shield to Stop the Islamization of America

September 20, 2010 1 comment

This is an encouraging paper, because it explains the moral and constitutional justifications to stop the islamization of our country. We face a grave threat – the Muslims are infiltrating our country and taking over. We seem powerless to resist:

Our governments won’t acknowledge the threat; we are told Muslims have “constitutional rights” to come here, proselytize everywhere, build mosques, and implement shariah in their communities and in the public square; and our governments are letting them do it.The Muslims seek to replace our Constitution with shariah – their totalitarian political, economic, military, social & legal system – with the goal of incorporating our Country into a global Islamic caliphate.They are making progress in islamicizing our Country because we are not resisting.

And the dreadful message we are getting from all sources is that our Constitution renders us powerless to resist islamization. But read on, and I will show you how our Constitution & Declaration of Independence – properly understood – actually give our federal, State & local governments justification and authority to stop the islamization of our Country.

Once we understand two things, it becomes clear what we may – and must – do:One : Islam is not a “religion” in the sense we understand religion. Islam is about TOTAL POWER. It is a system which controls every aspect of the lives of those who have the misfortune to be subjected to it. It masquerades as a religion, but once we understand that it is just another totalitarian system – like soviet communism, we can deal with it and defeat it.

Once in place, Islam is enforced with stone-age barbarism. It masquerades as a religion to recruit gullible fools who become suicide bombers, and to provide “cover” for officials in the Western countries who, indoctrinated with the Lies of multiculturalism & political correctness, look for an excuse to do nothing.

UK to confiscate paychecks in private sector? All your salaries are belong to us

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

Well, if Donald Berwick’s favorite health-care system is to survive, the Brits have to do something, don’t they? The British government’s tax agency has proposed a new process for employers in the private and public sectors to pay their workers.

Instead of actually giving the money to the employees, they’ll pay Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, which will then decide just how much to allow the workers to keep: The UK’s tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and pay the employees by bank transfer.

The proposal by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs HMRC stresses the need for employers to provide real-time information to the government so that it can monitor all payments and make a better assessment of whether the correct tax is being paid. Currently employers withhold tax and pay the government, providing information at the end of the year, a system know as Pay as You Earn PAYE.

There is no option for those employees to refuse withholding and individually file a tax return at the end of the year. If the real-time information plan works, it further proposes that employers hand over employee salaries to the government first.What could go wrong? Well … plenty, actually. I’ve worked as a midlevel manager at firms that use direct deposit for pay which I use myself, and I’ve seen mistakes made. One employee got paid $14,000 for one two-week period, which the company had to claw back. The next fortnight, he got 56 cents in his direct deposit, which took two days to correct.

Now imagine having to deal with a government bureaucracy when these mistakes get made, and one can imagine the disasters that await. Plus, thanks to this process, the government will have access to everyone’s bank accounts, too. Goody!

What we know for sure that makes aka Obama ineligible

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

There isn’t one single, credible source that has any concrete facts whatsoever, that Obama was born in Hawaii.Here’s a surprise! Hawaii’s Department of Education has been unable to find AKA Obama’s Kindergarten records.

By this time maybe you are no longer surprised.Obama’s Noelani Elementary School Kindergarten records, oddly missing from the State of Hawaii Department of Education, is the first in a series of chronological “coincidences” that obscure AKA Obama’s history.

Although Obama has had a first-class education that spanned 25 years, there is only a single document that has ever been released, the application for entrance to the Franciscus Assisi Primary School next item — and that document was discovered by independent investigators.

This is an important feature because Kindergarten records for original school entry would have contained the following:

1. Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate.2. An application with the following:• His Legal name. • Parents or Legal Guardians’ names. • Date of Birth • Place of Birth • Vaccination Records revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.It also is important for two additional reasons:

A. The Department of Education does not “lose” the records of one particular student. So, who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?

B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide that could possibly “excuse” the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records.

For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public his true life story.This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education.

Devvy: THIS IS AN URGENT ALERT!

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

I know many think it’s a waste of time to call the Outlaw Congress, but we have had some major victories.

Our voices have defeated bills before and we can do it again if enough people get on the phone. Spread the word to family and friends. Some things can’t be stopped by nullification.

1. The sickening “DREAM ACT” will be voted on tomorrow.

It will reward illegal aliens by giving a “pathway” towards citizenship. HOOEY.

It’s “for the children” of illegals. HOOEY.

The Act covers off spring of illegals who have no right to be in this country, much less sucking our educational resources up to the age of 35!

The “reasoning” behind this in your face amnesty is absurd. Since kids of illegals are here illegally, they never had the right to attend our schools and colleges “to lead a better life.” They should all have been deported long ago. Their parents are criminals for smuggling themselves into our country and children of illegals share the same status. While unfair, they can blame their parents.

It means instead of deporting illegals holding jobs that belong to Americans, that ACT will make sure millions of illegal aliens keep a job while Americans stand in unemployment lines and living off welfare and food stamps.

The military is desperate for more cannon fodder to fight these immoral and grotesque invasions in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world. Part of the ACT requires a two year hitch.

70% of Latinos voted for the Red in the White House. The millions of illegals who will be given a free pass on this ACT — think they will vote Republican?

I believe most Republicans will vote no, so it’s the Democrats that must hear a huge roar from we the people.

Here is the web site for the House of Representatives: www.house.gov

Call as many of the Blue Dog Democrats as you can. Here is a web site with their names and phone numbers. If you can’t get through on the DC line because it’s, call their district office today. Those district office numbers can be found at house.gov

http://www.aipnews.com/talk/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6644&posts=1

Here are the 30 Democrats who are sponsors of H.R. 4759. Call their offices and tell them to please vote no on the DREAM ACT. What good will it do to repeal NAFTA if millions of jobs are going to be given to illegals?

Go this link. Right under Rep. Taylor’s picture it says sponsors – click on that:

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h4759/show

2.  Comrade Harry Reid is going for broke with a vote tomorrow on the “don’t ask, don’t tell” for sexual deviants in the military.

There is no constitutional right to serve in the military.

Sexual deviants knew DOD policy when they enlisted. No one forced them to enlist as this is all voluntary military.

Bowel movement sex practiced by homosexuals is neither natural, normal or healthy. It is a public health issue. We the taxpayers are going to end up footing the bill for their lavender diseases.

Lt. Gen. Bostick: You should get your backside out of uniform.  Well, maybe that’s his problem and he wants to tell:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/sep/16/new-gay-army/

“Last month, a top military official offered a glimpse of how the military might look should the new policy take effect: Those serving who oppose the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) agenda are no longer welcome.

“Those were the views of Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army‘s deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters who spoke about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” before several hundred troops at the European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. “Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them,” Lt. Gen. Bostick said. “But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can’t, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you’re always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today.”

The civil rights argument is bogus and has nothing to do with preferring deviant sex acts.

Our military is not supposed to be a forum for social experimentation.

Here is one of many action pages with talking points and an easy way to click to send your counterfeit U.S. Senator a message:

Trigger the vote! Exclusive: Chuck Norris rouses citizens to cast ballots for 2nd Amendment rights

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

The surprise victory of Christine O’Donnell in Delaware’s Senate primary confirms what we’ve suspected all year, ever since the election of Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts in January.

This year’s critical midterm elections are going to bring real change to Congress. And it won’t be the kind of change favored by the “hope and change” crowd – at least I hope not.I’ve been taking every possible opportunity this year to talk about the importance of voting in these elections. In May, I visited the National Rifle Association‘s Annual Meeting and talked about how just about everything – from U.N. treaties to Supreme Court decisions – are affected by the power of the vote.

You can see that speech here on YouTube, if you’d like.The subject is so important to me that I agreed to serve as Honorary Chairman of the “Trigger the Vote” voter registration campaign that’s funded by the NRA’s Freedom Action Foundation. We recently filmed a new TV commercial for the campaign, and you can see the web spot here on the “Trigger the Vote” website.

I hope you’ll take a look. The ad is very comical and has gotten a great reaction from the left and the right alike.Now, a few people have scratched their heads at the humor in the spot. I’m noticing that those people are generally older and already registered to vote, which underscores the fact that this ad is not targeted at them. The ad is targeted at the members of the younger generation who aren’t registered to vote.

I call this generation the Millennials, and the humor in the spot is right up their alley. If you want them to hear your message, you have to speak their language…

Global Warming Alarmist Calls For Eco-Gulags To Re-Educate Climate Deniers

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

Finnish philosopher says oppressive and brutal government should exert “tireless control of citizens” in shocking insight into threat of eco-fascism movement – Linkola openly calls for Nazi-style mass extermination policies to “kill defectives”

undefinedPaul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.comMonday, September 20, 2010

A Finnish environmentalist guru has gone further than any other global warming alarmist in openly calling for fascism as a necessary step to save the planet from ecological destruction, demanding that climate change deniers be “re-educated” in eco-gulags and that the vast majority of humans be killed with the rest enslaved and controlled by a green police state, with people forcibly sterilized, cars confiscated and travel restricted to members of the elite.

Philosopher Pentti Linkola has built an enthusiastic following of self-described “eco-fascists” receptive to his message that the state should enact draconian measures of “discipline, prohibition, enforcement and oppression” in order to make people comply with environmental dictates.Linkola’s barbaric and dictatorial philosophy has remained relatively obscure but is now gaining traction as the mask of environmentalism is lifted to unveil its true nature – a justification for 21st century tyranny on a grand scale, characterized by eugenics, sterilization, gulags, police states, and total government control over every aspect of our existence.

Linkola’s doctrine is more extreme, repulsive, and threatening to liberty than anything carried out by history’s worst dictators, Hitler, Stalin and Mao – combined. Indeed, Linkola laments that such monsters didn’t go far enough in wiping out many more millions of people.Under Linkola’s proposal to save earth from man-made climate change, “only…

Third of Young Netflix Users Cut Cable Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

An alarming survey by Credit Suisse should serve as a wake up call to the broadcast networks and cable companies that they need to take control of their revenue destiny right now, while they still have some negotiating power.Analysts there found that 37 percent of Netflix subscribers aged 25 to 34 substitute Netflix for pay television.

Almost 30 percent of users between 18 and 24 are using Netflix’s streaming service instead of cable or satellite. The Credit Suisse survey was of about 250 Netflix subscribers.“Netflix’s low cost, subscription streaming service with improving content is our biggest worry and could become ‘good enough’ for consumers with moderate income and TV usage to use as a substitute for pay TV,” said Credit Suisse’s Spencer Wang and a team of analysts, in a 50-page treatise on the entertainment industry.The team downgraded the whole sector to ‘underweight’ from ‘market weight’ because of the oncoming ubiquity of high-speed broadband opening the door for these delivery services

THE MOSIN NAGANT: The Official Rifle of Arthur’s Hall!

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

The Mosin Nagant is truly a manly piece of hardware. Let’s discuss why.1: First, the Poison Maggot is a time proven design. Dating from 1891, all the bugs have been worked out. This assumes there were any bugs in the first place, which there were not. No one would dare to be less than optimal for the Tsars and Commissars.2: It’s very simple and robust. There are very few things that can go wrong with the Noisy Nagger. There isn’t even a bolt release — the trigger serves as that. The springs are heavy gauge, the mechanism basic steel, and the stock a solid piece of wood. Remember that the Russkies and the Commies figured that the bayonet was as important as the bullet. This means:3: Versatility. One can argue the benefits of the spear versus the club. Guess what? The Russian Gun-Club is both! And it shoots bullets! Why compromise when you can have all three?4: Physical fitness. The Rosined Nag is heavy. No real man would complain about this. In fact, he boasts of it. One has to be fit to carry it, and fit to aim it without shaking like a coward. Not to worry. The recoil will reseat that loose shoulder and save you the medical bills.5: Economical.

The Soviet Man Cannon is dirt cheap–$100-$200 in 2009 prices. You can typically buy 10 to 20 of them for the price of a modern rifle, and the ammo is about half the price, and has been in production for more than a century. One sacrifices rate of fire and accuracy, but that’s offset by the fact that an entire platoon of your friends now have guns.

Besides, your friends are men, so every shot counts, right? Who needs rate of fire. And any real man can hit through force of testosterone, without bothering with sights. Just imagine your enemy is a toilet, unzip and pull the trigger… so to speak. Flush him straight into a grave or outhouse. Or both.6: General manliness. The Tula Jackhammer has no prissy “Ergonomics” or “delicate triggers” or other crap.

It is a brutally simple tool. If you can’t pull the trigger, then do some more grip exercises, you pansy. Don’t like the recoil? Get a recoil pad, chew a handful of Vicodin, and see your doctor for some testosterone shots. The length of pull is too short? Wear a stout Russian overcoat and stop whining. And some earplugs, since you probably don’t want to hear the rest of the “Commie Chiropractor” community laughing at you.

On the Advice of the FBI, Cartoonist Molly Norris Disappears From View

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, “going ghost”: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program—except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab.

It’s all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” cartoon.Norris views the situation with her customary sense of the world’s complexity, and absurdity. When FBI agents, on a recent visit, instructed her to always keep watch for anyone following her, she joked, “Well, at least it’ll keep me from being so self-involved!” It was, she says, the first time the agents managed a smile. She likens the situation to cancer—it might basically be nothing, it might be urgent and serious, it might go away and never return, or it might pop up again when she least expects it.

We’re hoping the religious bigots go into full and immediate remission, and we wish her the best.

Patton Discovered The Truth And Was Killed For It

September 20, 2010 1 comment

As General Patton started to actually become acquainted with the defeated Germans and America‘s Soviet allies, Patton finally realized what he was in the midst of, and his opinions about the war, and both our enemies and allies changed drastically.

What Patton realized was recorded in his diary, and in letters to everyone from his family and friends, to other military and government personnel. It’s a good thing that these writings were preserved, so that we could see how even America’s “most fightingest General” knew that something was wrong with the outcome of WWII. In those writings it is clear that Patton realized that these new “allies” of ours were more of a danger than the Germans ever were. I only wish that Patton were still alive today to see with the hindsight that is available to us now.

We can only wish that Patton would have known then what many of us know now about the dangers of jew Bolshevik communists, but Patton quickly caught on that something was a miss when the war ended.

OFFICERS MIGHT BE PROSECUTORS, BUT THEIR AUTHORITY COMES FROM THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF

by Sharon Rondeau

Cover page of William Winthrop’s 1886 work, “Military Law and Precedents”Sept. 19, 2010 —William Winthrop was a colonel in the United States Army who wrote a treatise entitled Military Law and Precedents first published in 1880 as a compilation of JAG opinions. The second edition was published in 1920 but shows a copyright date of 1896.

The work has been called “The blackstone of military law.” The book was reissued in 2000 by Beard Books and is available from several vendors, including in Canada.Prior to his enlistment in the U.S. Army, Winthrop was a practicing attorney. His 1895 revised compendium acknowledged changes in “Army Regulation” and “statutory authority” and was used for “the instruction of the Cadets of the Military Academy” page 7.

The current publisher describes the work as follows:This comprehensive treatise details early military law, written and unwritten, and explains all of the intricacies of the courts martial process. Notable adjudications by civil courts and in military trials as well as the opinions of law officers are covered. Separate treatment is offered on the law of war and on the civil functions and relations of the military.

Obama Aides Weigh Bid to Tie the G.O.P. to the Tea Party

September 20, 2010 Leave a comment

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s political advisers, looking for ways to help Democrats and alter the course of the midterm elections in the final weeks, are considering a range of ideas, including national advertisements, to cast the Republican Party as all but taken over by Tea Party extremists, people involved in the discussion said.

White House and Congressional Democratic strategists are trying to energize dispirited Democratic voters over the coming six weeks, in hopes of limiting the party’s losses and keeping control of the House and Senate. The strategists see openings to exploit after a string of Tea Party successes split Republicans in a number of states, culminating last week with developments that scrambled Senate races in Delaware and Alaska.“We need to get out the message that it’s now really dangerous to re-empower the Republican Party,” said one Democratic strategist who has spoken with White House advisers but requested anonymity to discuss private strategy talks.Democrats are divided.

The party’s House and Senate campaign committees are resistant, not wanting to do anything that smacks of nationalizing the midterm elections when high unemployment and the drop in Mr. Obama’s popularity have made the climate so hostile to Democrats. Endangered Congressional candidates want any available money to go to their localized campaigns.

Here’s Why Ford Is Surging And You Need To Take Notice

September 19, 2010 1 comment

Shares of Ford got a boost Thursday from CNBC‘s Jim Cramer, but they certainly didn’t need it.Cramer mentioned them as worthy of being a buy candidate, but this is nothing new. Ford’s stock has been nothing short of remarkable, since December 2008 when it was under $1 per share.

Shares are currently over $12, a remarkable run for a company that many though would need to go into bankruptcy or need government help.Since dropping to under $1, Ford has done everything right. From cutting its massive debt load, getting products out to market, to making the company more competitive on a global scale,

*Ford has certainly stepped on the gas pedal at the right time and never looked back.One can never underestimate goodwill, and Ford has certainly been a beneficiary of it*

*Consumers rewarded Ford by not taking government money, when competitors General Motors and Chrysler did.*

*In tune, consumers bought more Ford products than they did GM or Chrysler to show their appreciation for doing business the right way, and it’s showed*

Ford has continued to gain market share here in the U.S., and is now the 2nd largest automaker in the U.S..Wall Street has been impressed with the turnaround story at Ford, as evidenced by an upgrade at Barclays.This morning, Barclays analyst Brian Johnson upgraded the company to Overweight from Equal Weight, and raised his price target to $16 from $15, citing Ford’s increased earnings power despite slow U.S. sales.

Ford is definitely one of the greatest turnaround stories this country has ever seen, as is a prime example of the “can do” spirit that American manufacturing is famous for.

Tea Party: Worthless? Well…

September 19, 2010 Leave a comment

Okay, now that I’ve bashed the Libertarian and Constitutional political parties as being worthless, how about the so-called “Tea Party”? Does it have any chance of achieving anything positive?Well, the Tea Party as a whole doesn’t actually believe anything. Basically, it’s a conglomeration of lots of people disaffected with the “government” they see today.

Well, so what? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that something is horribly wrong.

The question is, what do the Tea Partiers intend to do about it? If they were in charge, what would they do?The trouble is, very few of them have anything even vaguely resembling a coherent philosophy or belief system. When I hear people using terms like “reasonable regulatory controls,” “responsible government spending,” “lower taxes,” “accountability in government,” and so on, it tells me that their complaints are not based on actual principles, but are based only upon the current unpleasant side-effects of tyranny.

In short, they don’t even know what they want; they only know that this isn’t it.It’s a safe bet that if you don’t even know what you’re trying to achieve, you won’t achieve it. And I believe that most people who wear the label of “Tea Party” supporter fit that category.

They see things to complain about, but they haven’t the slightest clue of the underlying cause of the problems.

In truth, the underlying cause is still lodged firmly inside their very own heads. They firmly believe in the very delusions that led to the current disaster, and that would lead to it again if they were “in charge.”

58% Of Americans Want A Third Party

September 19, 2010 Leave a comment

PRINCETON, NJ

Americans’ desires for a third political party are as high as they have been in seven years. Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe a third major political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic Parties do a poor job of representing the American people.

That is a significant increase from 2008 and ties the high Gallup has recorded for this measure since 2003.In Your View, Do the Republican and Democratic Parties Do an Adequate Job of Representing the American People, or Do They Do Such a Poor Job That a Third Major Party Is Needed?The finding, based on an Aug. 27-30 USA Today/Gallup poll, comes at a time when Americans are widely dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States and give relatively weak approval ratings to the president and Congress.Though the rise in support for a third party could be linked to the Tea Party movement, Tea Party supporters are just about average in terms of wanting to see a third party created.

Sixty-two percent of those who describe themselves as Tea Party supporters would like a third major party formed, but so do 59% of those who are neutral toward the Tea Party movement. Tea Party opponents are somewhat less likely to see the need for a third party.

FDA won’t allow food to be labeled free of genetic modification: report

September 19, 2010 Leave a comment

‘Extra labeling only confuses the consumer,’ biotech spokesman saysThat the Food and Drug Administration is opposed to labeling foods that are genetically modified is no surprise anymore, but a report in the Washington Post indicates the FDA won’t even allow food producers to label their foods as being free of genetic modification.In reporting that the FDA will likely not require the labeling of genetically modified salmon if it approves the food product for consumption, the Post’s Lyndsey Layton notes that the federal agency “won’t let conventional food makers trumpet the fact that their products don’t contain genetically modified ingredients.” The agency warned the dairy industry in 1994 that it could not use “Hormone Free” labeling on milk from cows that are not given engineered hormones, because all milk contains some hormones.

It has sent a flurry of enforcement letters to food makers, including B&G Foods, which was told it could not use the phrase “GMO-free” on its Polaner All Fruit strawberry spread label because GMO refers to genetically modified organisms and strawberries are produce, not organisms.

Members of U.S. platoon in Afghanistan accused of killing civilians for sport

September 19, 2010 Leave a comment

Craig WhitlockWashington PostSept 19, 2010

AT JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, WASH. The U.S. soldiers hatched a plan as simple as it was savage: to randomly target and kill an Afghan civilian, and to get away with it.For weeks, according to Army charging documents, rogue members of a platoon from the 5th Stryker Combat Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, floated the idea.

Then, one day last winter, a solitary Afghan man approached them in the village of La Mohammed Kalay.

The “kill team” activated the plan.One soldier created a ruse that they were under attack, tossing a fragmentary grenade on the ground.

Then others opened fire.According to charging documents, the unprovoked, fatal attack on Jan. 15 was the start of a months-long shooting spree against Afghan civilians that resulted in some of the grisliest allegations against American soldiers since the U.S. invasion in 2001. Members of the platoon have been charged with dismembering and photographing corpses, as well as hoarding a skull and other human bones.

No president in my lifetime has been as incompetent, as obtuse, or as polarizing. There’s a particular type of incompetence that involves applying serious energy and diligence to doing the wrong thing. Obama is the master of this style of governance.

Sure, he passed his stimulus bill, his health care plan, his financial regulatory act — all of which are loathed by the country at large and all of which, without exception, are guaranteed to make the problems they’re designed to address worse. The stimulus stimulated nothing. Health care costs have risen 20% since O’s grand triumph. The regulatory bill addresses precisely none of the problems that led to the recent slump.

Obama’s obtuseness is evident in the endless vacations, the bowing and scraping before assorted potentates, his leaping into events the Gates imbroglio, the Ground Zero mosque, this latest sideshow act with the backwoods wrestler…uhh, pastor that are none of his business, and his continual rhetorical fumbles. A week doesn’t go by without a new addition to the list, his whining that his critics “talk about me like a dog” being only the latest.

Quick, hand me that newspaper… A president must be a center of calm and poise amid the whirlwind of events. Obama is usually just another piece of flotsam.

Obama’s Muslim Mess

Obama’s Muslim Mess
Townhall.com ^ | September 19, 2010 | Austin Hill

Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 6:59:04 AM by Kaslin

“The bottom line is this – if the Koran is burned, our troops will be in greater danger. It’s that simple…”

That remark came from a certain military officer (an officer who will remain unnamed here), during a special press briefing I attended regarding upcoming foreign troop deployments.

The news of a threatened “Koran burning ceremony” to be held in Florida was being widely reported at the time, and a journalist had asked the Officer for comment.

In response to the Officer’s comment, I followed up by asking “if Americans didn’t exercise their Second Amendment rights, would the troops be safer?”

“ With all due respect, I think you’re politicizing the matter, sir,” the Officer said to me, “and I have no further comment…”

It was appropriate that the Officer had “no further comment.” But I wasn’t politicizing anything. I was asking a very serious, sobering, and legitimate question, a question that all Americans should be asking in the face of the Obama Administration’s disposition towards Islamic Radicalism.

For the entire duration of his Presidency, Barack Obama has articulated a vision of “the Muslim Word,” as he calls it, and practitioners of the Muslim faith, that conveniently ignores what is frighteningly obvious to most Americans: that some of the most horrific and gruesome murders and terrorist acts on the planet these days are committed by people who call themselves Muslims, and claim to be following the edicts of the Koran.

President Obama set this pattern of denial in motion back in June of 2009, when he made good on his campaign promise of delivering a speech in the capitol city of a predominantly Muslim nation.

Speaking at Cairo University in that month, the President said, in part, “I’ve come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles — principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings…”

Five months after that speech, the United States sustained what previously may have been unthinkable – a terrorist attack at an Army base in Texas, all at the hands of an Army Major who was – yes, you guessed it – a Muslim. Major Nidal Hasan, a Medical Doctor in the U.S. Army, shot and killed 13 other Army soldiers and wounded 30 other people. He claimed that he was operating in allegiance to the Koran, and his Muslim faith.

As President Obama spoke at the Memorial Service for the dead soldiers, he referred to the murders as “craven acts,” and insisted that “no just and loving God looks upon then with favor.” But how are we to take these remarks?

Was President Obama insinuating that the “God” of Islam is not “just” and not “loving?” This proposition is doubtful. More likely, the President’s remarks were intended to suggest that Mr. Hasan wasn’t really behaving as a “real Muslim” would, so, therefore, these “craven acts” were no indictment on Islam.

But since the massacre at Fort Hood, we have sustained two other terrorist attacks on American soil – the “underwear bomber” case on Christmas Day last year, and the effort to blow up Times Square in Manhattan last Spring. Both of these incidents were terrorist attacks (despite Homeland Security Secretary Janet Naplitano’s claim that “The system worked” last December – it did not), attacks that were both fortunately thwarted before they could be carried out to full fruition.

All three of these acts were carried-out by people who called themselves Muslims. And if these terrorists each called themselves a “Muslim,” who am I – and who is Barack Obama – to insist that they are not?

President Obama’s timid stance with “the Muslim World” stands in stark contrast to this undeniable reality: In America, we are a very diverse bunch, but we generally get along with each other pretty well.

We are Christians and Jews and Secularists. We are theologically conservative Protestants and Catholics and Jews, and we are theologically liberal Protestants and Catholics and Jews. We are Atheists and Buddhists and Mormons and Bahai’s and completely irreligious. “Church” and “synagogue” and “temple” happen every weekend in America, as do sporting events and naps and work and play. As Americans we go about these activities according to our own wishes, being disagreeable with each other at times, yes, but still living together and getting along.

But then, there is this one particular group in America and around the world that can’t seem to play by America’s “we all get along” terms. According to our President, our lives are jeopardized if we so much as state the obvious about this group.

‘Stasi spies’ on the motorways: Big Brother fears as motorists are urged to inform on each other

September 18, 2010 Leave a comment

James Slack and Jack DoyleUK Daily MailSept 18, 201

Police are asking motorists to spy on each other for examples of poor driving in an alarming new extension of the ‘Big Brother’ state.

Drivers are told to be on the look out for inconsiderate driving or anybody making ‘excessive noise’ with their car.

Detailed reports – which critics warn could easily be malicious accusations against neighbours – are submitted to the police, who log extensive details on a huge computer database.

The details are also checked against DVLA databases and the Police National Computer.Anybody who is reported twice in 12 months faces police action – despite never being caught breaking the law.

Officers say they can be considered ‘repeat offenders’.The action could involve a warning letter or even a knock on the door from a police officer.Full article here

Is U.S. Air Superiority ending? Top USAF General says “Yes”, Gates says “No”

September 18, 2010 Leave a comment

Lt. Gen. David Deptula, formally the U.S. Air Force’s top intelligence officer and an F-15 pilot is warning that the U.S. will lose its air power advantage

Monday at the Air Force Association’s Air & Space Convention and Technology Expo he warned that America is “dangerously ill-prepared to stop the gap-closing efforts of China and Russia.”

America’s adversaries are quickly developing their new generation of combat aircraft. The General estimates that Russia and China will field airframes compatible to the F-22 within a decade. The Russian PAK FA, in flight test, was specifically designed to counter the F-22 and F-35.

His presentation was an attempt to resume the production of F-22 and to maintain America’s technology advantage.The General warned that we must not let others surpass our air superiority.Russia and China as well as their customers rely heavily on surface to air missiles for defense. The S-300 SAMS are a serious threat to US legacy aircraft and further improvement will prove a deterrent to our latest generation of combat craft and cruise missiles.\

It has been reported that Russia has sold this system to Iran to protect its nuclear program. China is also mass producing copies of the S-300 for its own use as well for sale to anyone.Gen. Deptula’s presentation is in direct contradiction to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ contention that the U.S. air power currently outmatches any foreign military.

Keep in mind this Administration cancelled the production of F-22…..

Gunny G: Do Marines Surrender?/A Controversial Topic…

September 18, 2010 1 comment

Gunny G:

Do Marines Surrender? A controversial subject.

Now and then this question comes up, but usually Marines seem to have little in the way of facts for their assumptions, etc. Nor is there a complete summing up of the subject in any one place under one title; but the info is out there, though somewhat piecemeal. George Smith’s book, “Carlson’s Raid,” devotes an entire chapter, for instance, to the surrender note controversy re Carlson’s attempted surrender during the Makin Raid of 17-18 August 1942.

Yes, Marines have surrendered. It’s just one more aspect of the profession of arms.

Most notably, there have been occurances of such for the Marine Corps, in the opening days of World War Two at Guam, the Phillipines, Wake Island, and China. And then there was the little-known, for many years, surrender attempt during the Makin Island Raid.

Later, in Korea, 1950 there was a surrender that occurred at Hell Fire Valley during the Chosin Reservoir operation.

There were also Marine surrenders that occurred even further back through Marine Corps history during the 1700s and civil wartimes. (See Nofi’s Book of Lists.)

Most Marines prefer not to discuss Marine surrenders nor to admit that there has ever been such.

Here is one remark from Evans F. Carlson himself, as found in Gen. Peatross’s book, “Bless ‘Em All,”

“…While discussing the various aspects of the raid,the only critique of the operation there would ever be Carlson suddenly had paused and, almost self critically and apropos of nothing, interjected: No commander ever expects to fail in an operation, but he should have a plan ready, ….”

Is it dishonorable for a Marine to surrender under such conditions?

In addition, there are various aspects of accepted Marine Corps history that people are either entirely ignorant of, and/or prefer to disregard/deny. For instance, the phony red stripe story regarding Chapultapec; Tun Tavern vs. Conestoga Wagon as the birthplace of the Corps, etc. Gen Simmons goes so far as to write that July 11, 1798 is the true birthday of the Corps.

Marine Corps historians, including BGen Edwin Simmons, have brought examples of these things out in their published writings, yet erroneous teachings continue. Why? As I’ve now come to mention often, I, not too long ago received an e-mail from a Marine colonel (retired) suggesting he didn’t give a rat’s ass about facts, tradition was all that counted w/him. People just don’t want to hear it.

Author Robert Ringer: US ‘Decaying From Within’

September 18, 2010 Leave a comment

President Barack Obama‘s policies are propelling the nation toward “hard-core socialism or worse,” best-selling author Robert J. Ringer warns, adding that the “real terrorists” threatening the nation are progressives in Congress who are “subverting the Constitution.

“In an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview, Ringer talked about his new book, “Restoring the American Dream: The Defining Voice in the Movement of Liberty.”It’s an updated version, co-authored with The Wall Street Journal‘s Stephen Moore, of a 1979 book titled “Restoring the American Dream” — a work that introduced many Americans to libertarian ideas.Ringer says the new edition reflects his own evolution toward a more pragmatic interpretation of libertarianism.”You cannot stick to absolute libertarianism, where each person governs himself, because there are too many people who want to commit aggression against you and violate your natural rights,” he said.

Ringer, who now calls himself a “theoretical libertarian and practical conservative,” says, “The single greatest aggressor on human rights is the United States government, and that’s what the tea party movement is all about today.

“The author, who also wrote the best-sellers “Winning Through Intimidation” and “Looking Out For Number One,” told Newsmax that the United States is “spinning out of control rapidly” because politicians have created rights that don’t really exist.

The Krauthammer-Rove Axis of Disdain

The Krauthammer-Rove Axis of Disdain
The American Thinker ^ | September 18, 2010 | Lee Cary

Posted on Saturday, September 18, 2010 6:39:25 AM by Scanian

Washington Post columnist and FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer has joined Karl Rove, the consigliere of Establishment Republicans, in a continuing attack on GOP Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell. Some longtime fans of Krauthammer are surely startled and saddened by his sustained assault on O’Donnell since she won the primary race against Mike Castle.

As has Rove, Krauthammer is invoking the “Buckley Rule.” It was born in 1967, when William F. Buckley was asked whom he would support, Barry Goldwater or Richard Nixon, in the GOP primary for the 1968 Presidential election. Buckley said he’d vote for the most conservative candidate who was electable. That was Nixon.

In his September 17, 2010 column, Krauthammer essentially declared O’Donnell unelectable — he said she has a one-in-ten chance to be elected — and accused Sen. Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin of being “reckless and irresponsible” by endorsing her. Krauthammer also criticized Sharron Angle, running against Harry Reid in Nevada, as a weak candidate, although he has not yet declared her defeated before the votes are counted.

Meanwhile, Washington Post staff writer Amy Gardner titled her article posted after the O’Donnell victory “O’Donnell’s victory in Del. highlights tension in tea party groups.” She may wish that’s the most significant “tension” at play here, but it’s not.

The fulcrum of the GOP internal debate is obviously between establishment Republicans and the conservative upstarts — upstarts in the eyes of the GOP’s establishment. And what’s at issue is ideological control of the party. The establishment heralds victory as the overriding prize that trumps ideology and principle. It’s what all establishments do. It’s in their DNA. It’s about self-preservation. They can’t help it.

The Bush 42 campaign used the term “compassionate conservative” to counter the Democrat-designed image aimed to paint Republicans as insensitive and uncaring toward all but the rich. It helped get Bush elected, but what it meant was never clear. In retrospect, it’s now obvious that it was never about ideology; it was all about marketing. No surprise there. It’s the nature of campaigns, or at least it was until the hardcore ideologues of the Left took over Congress and the White House. In opposition to the Leftists, conservative principles are not an expendable option. Political expediency works only in battles with other expedient mentalities. Hardcore socialists eat relativist politicians for lunch, as they did in 1933 Germany.

When President George W. Bush said, during the advent of TARP, that, “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system,” conservative Republicans all across the country looked at each other and said, “What did he just say?” It was a Gestalt moment for some. “Where did his principles go?” we asked. Then some wondered, “Were they ever there in the first place?”

The recent and ongoing rant of Rove against O’Donnell provides context to understand “compassionate conservative” and Bush’s “free market principles” statement. In retrospect, it also frames the domestic political failures of the Bush presidency. According to “Bush’s brain,” expediency trumps ideology. It’s all about winning power.

Now, sadly, Charles Krauthammer has joined Rove in essentially calling the Republican voters of Delaware stupid. The only possible upside of all this is that the comments of both men may throw gasoline on the enthusiasm of O’Donnell supporters and win new ones for her.

We’ve yet to see how well Mike Castles loses. Several recent GOP establishment losers in primary races have not been good losers. Senator Lisa Murkowski last night announced a write-in effort in Alaska after losing the GOP primary to newcomer Joe Miller. Florida Governor Charlie Crist is running as a third-party candidate after losing the primary to Marco Rubio. Will Mike Castle endorse Christine O’Donnell or support the man that Harry Reid called his “pet” Democrat candidate, Chris Coons? Will Castle “pull a Murkowski” and run as a write-in?

Politicians, columnists, and consultants most closely associated with the GOP establishment are feeling disoriented these days as the levers of control over their party move out of their reach and, more and more, into the hands of rank amateurs, or those they perceive to be amateurs. The old guard is feeling…threatened.

In making his case for the Buckley Rule, Krauthammer said this during the “FOX News All Stars” discussion on September 15:

“I think Senator DeMint is wrong when he says ‘I’d rather have a party that believes in something and not a party that doesn’t.’ Well, the party he is in in the Senate right now — the forty Senators believe in something, and it’s stopping the Obama agenda.”

Ironically, the day after Krauthammer spoke, the Senate passed the $30-billion Small Business Jobs Act supported by President Barack Obama by a vote of 61-38. Republican Senators George Voinovich of Ohio and George LeMieux of Florida broke the Republican filibuster and voted for the bill. Up went the deficit. So much for united Republican senators “stopping the Obama agenda.”

There’s an historical precedent for what’s happening. Although some dispute it, tradition says that on October 19, 1781, as eight thousand men under the command of British General Cornwallis at Yorktown marched out to surrender to the Continental Army, the British band played a tune appropriate for the unexpected turn in events that brought defeat to the world’s strongest army. The song was entitled “The World Turned Upside Down.”

What is more widely accepted about that day is that the British soldiers surrendered with composure and dignity. And the Colonists accepted their surrender in the same style. According to an eyewitness account, among the victors, “You could not have heard a whisper or seen the least motion throughout our whole line, but every countenance was erect, and expressed a serene cheerfulness.”

In this battle within the GOP ranks, let’s hope that that general demeanor eventually reigns on both sides. So far, though, we’re not there yet.

TREASON IS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

by Neil Turner

John Brown was accused, tried and convicted of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia for attempting to lead a slave insurrection via a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, VA in 1859. He was found guilty of treason and hanged.Sept. 17, 2010 —

Backdoor Amnesty is upon us…disturbing news indeed. And petitioning Congress and the Administration simply gives legitimacy to an illegitimate Administration and a complicit – and therefore illegitimate – Congress.This breaking story by Kimberly Dvorak of the San Diego County Political Buzz Examiner concerning a third memo “leaked” inside the DHS confirms our worst fears.

Another act of Treason by the Treasoner-in-Chief and his complicit band of Czars, Justices, Judiciary, members of Congress and media moguls is about to befall us.

You may want to participate in the fund-raising and petitioning as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi introduce their treason-laced defense spending bill set to hit the Senate floor next week, but I believe that removing the Treasoner-in-Chief will have much more effect on stopping this nonsense that we are being hit with every day.

Recently, in a ruling by Army JAG Judge Denise Lind, our worst fears that a military coup has taken place have been confirmed. In a courts-martial pre-hearing concerning the demands of LTC Terry Lakin that the putative Commander- in-Chief must prove that he is a Constitutionally lawful CINC before anyone obeys any military orders, lest they themselves be charged with obeying an unlawful order,

Judge Lind stated that any and all orders now originate with the Pentagon and no longer with the Office of the civilian President and Commander-in-Chief.

Is Glenn Beck the Next Billy Graham? For a Few. Maybe Too Few?

September 18, 2010 Leave a comment

After Fox News host Glenn Beck led his spirit-filled “Restoring Honor” revival on the Mall last month, he seemed to be reinventing himself as an American Moses delivering America back to the Promised Land — or perhaps the next Billy Graham, as Southern Baptist leader Richard Land suggested.Yet a new poll shows that Beck isn’t quite yet a figure of biblical proportions, with 17 percent of Americans believing Beck “is the right person to lead a religious movement” and 50 percent saying he’s not.Even among Republicans and white evangelicals, a highly motivated cohort of conservative voters who view Beck more favorably than other Americans, fewer than one-third say he is the right person to lead a religious movement.The poll, conducted by Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with Religion News Service, also showed that a majority of Americans 57 percent don’t know Beck is a Mormon, and those who do know he is a Mormon — especially conservative Protestants who are particularly suspicious of Mormon beliefs — are less likely to trust him as a religious leader.

Those results are in line with other surveys on Mormonism, John Green, an expert on religion and politics at the University of Akron, told RNS. “Because other surveys show that Mormons are not especially popular with Americans, as a rule, then it’s likely that if more people found out Glenn Beck’s religious background, that would inhibit them following him,” Green said.On the other hand, it’s hard to think of any public figure in the United States — other than Billy Graham, who is in his 90s and infirm — who would poll higher numbers as a candidate to lead a religious revival.

The religious right seems to be in decline, eclipsed by the fervor of Tea Partiers, and with few serious marquee names.Then again, Jesus started with just a dozen followers, and even most of them didn’t stick with him at the end.The PRRI/RNS Religion News Poll was based on telephone interviews conducted of 1,007 U.S. adults between Sept. 9 and 12, after Beck’s Washington rally.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Are Independent Thinkers Mentally Ill?

by Mark Nestmann

Sovereign SocietyRecently by Mark Nestmann:

When Cameras Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Cameras! Do you question authority? Fail to accept conventional wisdom? Lose your temper when you hear a politician make a promise that you know he or she can’t keep?If so, you may be mentally ill, according to the most recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM.

In this revision, psychiatrists hope to add dozens of new mental disorders. Unfortunately, many of these so-called illnesses target people who merely think or behave differently from the majority population.

A case in point is “oppositional defiant disorder ODD.” DSM defines ODD as “an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior toward authority figures.”

Symptoms include losing one’s temper, annoying people and being “touchy.” Other “disorders” include antisocial behavior, arrogance, cynicism and narcissism. Sounds like many of my readers!

While diagnosis of ODD “victims” focuses on children, there’s no reason why ODD can’t exist in adults. Indeed, ODD can evolve into “conduct disorder” CD, which DSM defines as “wherein the rights of others or social norms are violated.”Uh-oh. So violating “social norms” is now a mental illness as well.Let’s connect the dots, shall we?

There’s a long and sordid history of governments using psychiatry for political repression. In the Soviet Union, thousands of political prisoners were detained in mental hospitals. There they were isolated from friends and family, and many cases, forcibly medicated. Nazi Germany went even further: it murdered over 180,000 psychiatric patients.Laws in most states allow child protective services agencies to forcibly medicate your children.

Indeed, if you fail to administer drugs ordered by a physician or have your children submit to vaccinations, you can be imprisoned.As The Washington Post observed: “If seven-year-old Mozart tried composing his concertos today, he might be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and medicated into barren normality.”The conversion of personality differences into psychiatric disorders, and the forced medication of children, is a dangerous trend.

It is but a short step to extend these laws to adults who have a pattern of “negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward authority figures.”

Out of the Darkness »Edgar Steele Needs Your Help

Published by admin, on September 16th, 2010

by Cyndi G. Steele pictured with her family

EDGAR J. STEELE has been entrapped by a legal system that presumes his guilt in the face of false charges.

Ed, my husband, has been in jail and solitary confinement for three months in Spokane, Washington because of false allegations that he masterminded a murder-for-hire plot to kill me and my mother. I have never believed that Ed was involved in such a plot!

Ed has defended the politically incorrect for years; people who, were it not for him, never would have had representation.

Those who oppose Ed hate the truth and have threatened to harm Ed, me and our family in the past. Clearly, he is a political prisoner of the USA — and, quite literally, he is fighting for his life.

Here is the bottom line: Without experts to prove that false government tape recordings are only imitations of Ed’s speech patterns using voice cloning technology; and without experts to present the truth about alleged explosives, Ed will be “sent to the gallows” for something he didn’t do.

We have an opportunity to prevent this great injustice. This is not the first time the government has made false criminal allegations against innocent people.

A Sleeping Giant Wakes

September 18, 2010 1 comment

O’Donnell’s victory in Delaware is already being credited to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Movement, but more credit probably goes to a backlash against a GOP that provided a coronation to a liberal_Republican and used vicious and hate-filled tactics against his opponents, that doubtlessly reminded many Republicans of the tactics Democrats were using against Sarah Palin.I would much rather have had Hayworth knock out McCain, than have O’Donnell knock out Mike Castle.

That would have removed one of the Senate’s biggest liberal Republicans, and would have probably given his obnoxious daughter the boot out of the spotlight too. Hayworth was also a much stronger candidate in the general election than O’Donnell will be. But that isn’t the point. The Republican party can’t just “do what we were doing before”, which is exactly what will happen if the Senate Republicans backing Castle had gotten their way. Whether O’Donnell wins and loses, the Battle of Delaware was another strong warning that business as usual cannot go on.

The Delaware primary was ugly, in-state and on the internet. But had the Delaware GOP not backed Castle at all costs, and had Castle’s defenders online actually made an honest case for him count the number of times that pieces like that mentioned the words Cap and Trade without treating O’Donnell the way the media had treated Palin, as a crazy laughable nut with ethical problem who isn’t worth mentioning except to make sexist jokes about her, the backlash might never have happened.

This was Anti-Insideritis in a big way.But Castle and his GOP backers couldn’t debate on the issues. The Tea Party had them running scared. So instead they conducted vicious personal attacks against O’Donnell, with their only argument being electability. But the Tea Party turnout was not about party loyalty…

Feds again tell Texas Governor Perry no more guardsmen

September 18, 2010 2 comments

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano again rebuffed Texas Gov. Rick Perry‘s call for more U.S.-paid National Guard troops along the Texas-Mexico border, insisting Friday that current deployments are enough and the governor can call up troops anytime — at his own expense.

Napolitano’s comment was the latest riposte in politically charged exchanges between Texas’ Republican governor and President Barack Obama‘s administration dating back to Perry’s call for 1,000 federally paid National Guard troops 20 months ago.Perry’s office has said spillover drug cartel violence along the border is a persistent threat to Texans and Obama’s administration should pay for protection.[Snip]

Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said the stepped-up border security measures have been “grossly insufficient,” particularly since border security and homeland security remain federal responsibilities.[Snip]National Guard troops are being deployed where they are needed and “if that need changes, they will be moved,” Napolitano said.Perry, she said, can call up the National Guard in Texas if he wants to pay for it:

“That’s always an option available to a governor,” she said.Perry has criticized the administration for giving Texas only 20 percent of the federally paid National Guard troops along the southwest border when the state’s border accounts for 64 percent of the 1,969-mile border.

“I don’t need a Washington briefing to tell me that the car bombs going off across the Rio Grande, the cartels recruiting teenage Texans as hit men and bullets from shootouts hitting UT-Brownsville and El Paso‘s City Hall are signs that things are going from bad to worse,” Perry told the National Guard Association Convention last month.

“America needs swift action and sufficient resources to protect our border communities and the families who call them home.”

White House Insider Part 2: The President Needs to Grow Up

September 17, 2010 Leave a comment

I know I’m not the only one who left that White House feeling really let down, but maybe that wasn’t fair to the President.

Maybe our own expectations got so high that he had no choice but to let us down…some advice, huh? Hopefully without sounding disrespectful, I would tell the President to pull his head out of his ass.To man up, grow up, and start to pay attention to what the American people want and need.

That is a big-big flaw with this president. He comes at it from the position of thinking he knows what we need because we don’t have the ability to know for ourselves. And he doesn’t respect any opinion that is different from his own. He just doesn’t care to know any other side to any given issue. I really believe it’s a maturity thing.

OBAMALAW HAS AMERICA IN ITS GRASP…OR DOES IT?

by Sher Zieve,

©2010Sept. 17, 2010 —

Taking the lead from other despotic totalitarian leaders, their lackeys and adherents, The Obama and his minions have launched an all-out battle campaign against any–the majority of us–Americans soon to be known and “Obama-ians” if the Marxists have their way who believe the US Constitution should be followed by those who govern.

Note: I suspect that as Obama & Co rules rather than governs, The Obama believes it doesn’t apply to him.It is now “radical” and “crazy” to follow US law and not the emerging sinister ObamaLaw. A prime example of this is the Obama’s and his DOJ’s refusal to support US laws protecting US citizens and our country’s Southern border from foreign invaders and then suing the States think Arizona and Sheriffs think Sheriff Joe Arpaio who do so.

Note: The ObamaLeft is again using lapdog Alan Colmes who appeared on Megyn Kelly’s FNC show 17 September and called Conservative candidate for Nevada Senator Sharron Angle “crazy,” “extreme,” and “paranoid.”

Poor simple Alan hasn’t had a successful gig since Hannity & Colmes folded.

Obama Re-Writes Declaration of Independence to Leave Out “Creator”

September 17, 2010 4 comments

So let me close by saying this.

Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. To British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican — applause — to countless Indian tribes.

We all shared the same land. We didn’t always get along. But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together — what made us all Americans — was not a matter of blood, it wasn’t a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This is one of the closing paragraphs of President Obama’s speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on September 15, 2010.

Caught a clip of this on the radio and I was amazed when he left out “by their Creator” when quoting from the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

Here it is in the official White House transcript and you can also see it on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd7ZQZxDhjk

I’m surprised this has not created a stir – perhaps lost in the election results new the last few nights.

For reference, here is the actual first sentence of the Preamble:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Report: Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government

September 17, 2010 Leave a comment

WASHINGTON —

The Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government as part of the movement’s drive to promote holy war against the West, a report said.So far, the government was said to have done nothing to stop the Brotherhood infiltration.

The report by the Center for Security Policy cited the success of one Brotherhood operative in gaining access to the White House under both Democratic and Republican administrations.”Relying on Brotherhood operatives for ‘outreach to the Muslim community,’ let alone appointing them to influential government jobs, is a formula for disaster,” the report said. “It gives prominence and legitimacy to enemy agents engaged in covert and not-so-covert acts of sedition.

It facilitates their penetration and influence over the intelligence, law enforcement and national and homeland security agencies responsible for discerning and defeating such threats.”

WJLA-TV fires veteran anchor Doug McKelway, cites insubordination, misconduct

September 17, 2010 Leave a comment

WJLA-TV Washington DC ABC station has fired veteran anchorman Doug McKelway for a verbal confrontation this summer with the station’s news director that came after McKelway broadcast a sharply worded live report about congressional Democrats and President Obama.

McKelway was placed on indefinite suspension in late July after his run-in with ABC7′s news director and general manager, Bill Lord.

In a letter to McKelway this week, the station said it was terminating his contract immediately, citing insubordination and misconduct. Amid the ongoing BP oil spill in July, McKelway covered a Capitol Hill demonstration by environmental groups protesting the influence of oil-industry contributions to members of Congress. In his piece, McKelway said the sparsely attended event attracted protesters “largely representing far-left environmental groups.”

He went on to say the protest “may be a risky strategy because the one man who has more campaign contributions from BP than anybody else in history is now sitting in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama, who accepted $77,051 in campaign contributions from BP.” After a brief taped segment updating efforts to cap the BP well, McKelway added that the Senate was unlikely to pass “cap-and-trade” legislation this year, because “the Democrats are looking at the potential for huge losses in Congress come the midterm elections.

And the last thing they want to do is propose a huge escalation in your electric bill, your utility bill, before then.” Lord took exception to McKelway’s reporting and asked to meet with him, according to several station sources who were granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive personnel matter.

A shouting match between the two men ensued, leading to McKelway’s suspension, sources said. WJLA is owned by Allbritton Communications of Arlington, which also owns TBD TV formerly NewsChannel 8, Politico and TBD.com.

Class War — How public servants became our masters

Class War — How public servants became our masters
Reason. ^ | February 2010 issue | Steven Greenhut

Posted on Friday, September 17, 2010 4:03:26 PM by dennisw

In April 2008, The Orange County Register published a bombshell of an investigation about a license plate program for California government workers and their families. Drivers of nearly 1 million cars and light trucks—out of a total 22 million vehicles registered statewide—were protected by a “shield” in the state records system between their license plate numbers and their home addresses. There were, the newspaper found, great practical benefits to this secrecy.

“Vehicles with protected license plates can run through dozens of intersections controlled by red light cameras with impunity,” the Register’s Jennifer Muir reported. “Parking citations issued to vehicles with protected plates are often dismissed because the process necessary to pierce the shield is too cumbersome. Some patrol officers let drivers with protected plates off with a warning because the plates signal that drivers are ‘one of their own’ or related to someone who is.”

The plate program started in 1978 with the seemingly unobjectionable purpose of protecting the personal addresses of officials who deal directly with criminals. Police argued that the bad guys could call the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), get addresses for officers, and use the information to harm them or their family members. There was no rash of such incidents, only the possibility that they could take place.

So police and their families were granted confidentiality. Then the program expanded from one set of government workers to another. Eventually parole officers, retired parking enforcers, DMV desk clerks, county supervisors, social workers, and other categories of employees from 1,800 state agencies were given the special protections too. Meanwhile, the original intent of the shield had become obsolete: The DMV long ago abandoned the practice of giving out personal information about any driver. What was left was not a protection but a perk.

Yes, rank has its privileges, and it’s clear that government workers have a rank above the rest of us. Ordinarily, if one out of every 22 California drivers had a license to drive any way he chose, there would be demands for more police power to protect Californians from the potential carnage. But until the newspaper series, law enforcement officials and legislators had remained mum. The reason, of course, is that the scofflaws are law enforcement officials and legislators.

Here is how brazen they’ve become: A few days after the newspaper investigation caused a buzz in Sacramento, lawmakers voted to expand the driver record protections to even more government employees. An Assembly committee, on a bipartisan 13-to-0 vote, agreed to extend the program to veterinarians, firefighters, and code officers. “I don’t want to say no to the firefighters and veterinarians that are doing these things that need to be protected,” Assemblyman Mike Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) explained.

Exempting themselves from traffic laws in the name of a threat that no longer exists is bad enough, but what government workers do to the rest of us on a daily basis makes ticket dodging look like child’s play. Often under veils of illegal secrecy, public-sector unions and their political allies are systematically looting the public treasury with gold-plated pensions, jeopardizing the finances of state and local governments around the country, removing themselves from legal accountability, and doing it all in the name of humble working men and women just looking for their fair share. Government employees have turned themselves into a coddled class that lives better than its private-sector counterpart, and with more impunity. The public’s servants have become our masters.

Jones, Others Burned For Daring To Be Americans

September 17, 2010 1 comment

Even with the Constitution on his side, Jones was in effect stripped of equal standing in the eyes of his fellow citizens.

Little wonder, then, that his bank actually called in his church’s mortgage; his insurance company actually canceled his church’s policy; and his Internet server actually pulled the plug on his website — all repercussions of his planned 9/11 demonstration.

Inside of a week, Jones achieved a state on nonpersonhood that exceeds that of most convicted criminals, despite the fact that the only law he contemplated breaking was Islam‘s.

Jones’ state of disgrace was perhaps never more apparent than during a live appearance on MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski, worked up over the “blood” Jones personally, as she believed, would have on his hands, cued panelist Jon Meacham to deliver to Jones, standing by live, an honest-to-goodness New Testament homily on forgiveness — an MSNBC first? — and to appeal to him as a “fellow Christian” to drop his plans.

Jones’ reply?

Pennsylvania Homeland Security Employed Israeli Company to Spy On Americans

September 17, 2010 Leave a comment

Kurt NimmoPrison Planet.comFriday, September 17, 2010

On the Alex Jones Show yesterday, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen discussed the involvement of a shadowy Israeli company in an effort by Pennsylvania’s Homeland Security to spy on activists exercising their First Amendment.On Wednesday, Infowars.com reported that Pennsylvania paid a Philadelphia-based nonprofit $125,000 to compile a list of activists as part of the state Homeland Security’s federally mandated mission to protect public infrastructure.

Madsen, citing a story published on late Wednesday by the Philadelphia Citypaper, revealed that the “non-profit” operates not only out of Philadelphia, but Israel as well.Research conducted by Citypaper journalist Isaiah Thompson shows that the company, the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response ITRR, in fact does not operate under non-profit status, as reported yesterday by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “Although the group claims nonprofit status on its website and is listed as a nonprofit corporation by the Pennsylvania Department of State, a search on websites Guidestar.org and IRS.gov yielded no indication that the organization enjoys tax-exempt status.

An email seeking clarification of the group’s nonprofit status was not returned,” writes Thompson.ITRR’s website describes the company as “the preeminent Israeli/American security firm providing training, intelligence and education to clients across the globe.” ITRR categorizes itself as a “Targeted Action Monitoring Center” that does not function as a “clipping service, but a powerful fusion center of battle-tested operatives, analysts, and researchers who have real-life experience fighting both terrorists and criminal entities [...] distinguished among other agencies by its access to a vast network of on-the-ground key-sources in virtually every region of the world.”For a company boasting specialized counter-terror services, there is virtually no information available on it in the mainstream media. Citypaper’s research turned up a scattering of lackluster ITRR reports published in trade publications, primarily dealing with international terrorism. One report, authored by an intern, details the use of Twitter by “religious, anarchists, anti-government, and anti-globalization” activists who are described as extremists.

“By Way of Deception, We Shall do War”
by Deanna Spingola
September 16, 2010

Join Email List to receive notification of new Spingola articles

Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) said, “The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.” [1] Worldwide control obviously requires extraordinary organization, superior weaponry and high technology (like HAARP), political power and monopoly control of all of the resources. On February 17, 1950, James P. Warburg declared to the U.S. Senate, “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” [2] In Russia and China and other countries, the elite used thugs in their violent conquest against existing leaders. Populations wouldn’t knowingly consent to their own demise. But distracted, naïve, ignorant citizens, by their consent, relinquish their liberties by placing their trust in others (1) two-faced lying politicians who have abandoned the constitution and sold their souls and; (2) the persuasive profit-driven elite media. Smiling talking heads and brilliant, fast-talking female lawyers in low-cut garments legitimize immodesty while peddling infotainment disguised as news. They equivocate among themselves over the Neocon’s next war target which they claim is necessary to keep America safe. While selling their illusions and building our perceptions, what to wear, eat, drink, think and who to fear, they conceal, suppress or gloss over stories that are actually pertinent to our lives.

Jacob H. Schiff, Paul Warburg and other bankers influenced Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act (December 23, 1913). The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was created in October 1913 to minimize predictable criticism. The bankers have manufactured panics, withdrawn credit and in the process have confiscated the citizen’s resources and personal property through phony bailouts, sanctioned by compromised politicians. These actions are calculated and designed to ultimately decimate the economy. The same bankers who promoted the Federal Reserve funded Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Molotov and Kirov (assumed names) in their godless, violent take-over of Russia. The bankers began making major profits when Bernard Baruch, Louis Brandeis and others manipulated their puppet Woodrow Wilson into entering World War I on borrowed money after the provoked attack on the Lusitania.

Winston Churchill, a Rothschild minion, referred to the Americans traveling in the ill-fated Lusitania as “live bait,” a tactic for involving the U.S. in World War I, which started the flow of money from the pockets of U.S. citizens into the vaults of Rothschild and his fellow bankers. The “live bait” tactic had been successfully used with the deaths of American sailors aboard the USS Maine. Banker-backed corporate moguls exploited the situation. Their political puppets then ordered the military to invade the resource-rich Philippines. Meanwhile, the media vilified and dehumanized the innocent Filipinos so that the invaders could rationalize killing them. Mogul minions followed up by gathering cheap labor to extract resources and the government seized land to build military bases to manage the population and protect the resources.

Popular Asian spice can cure Alzheimer’s disease

September 17, 2010 2 comments

NaturalNews Nature is full of various herbs and spices that protect against disease and even treat and cure it. And according to Chris Kilham, an ethnobotanist and Fox News‘ “Medicine Hunter”, turmeric root — also known in its extract form as curcumin — is one such powerful spice that appears to both prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and even cure it.

“People who develop Alzheimer’s disease get a sticky plaque in the brain called amyloid beta,” explained Kilham to Dr. Manny Alvarez in a recent Fox News interview. Such plaques either develop as a result of Alzheimer’s, or they are the direct cause of it. But either way, they are directly related to the degenerative process.However studies show that turmeric actually eliminates these plaques, both when they are first starting to form and even during the late stages of their advancement.”What we have in turmeric is something that appears to inhibit the development of Alzheimer’s disease…and actually help to reduce the occurrence of plaque in the brain if you have it,” noted Kilham.

“We know in animal studies, when animals actually have amyloid beta plaque in their brains and they’re given turmeric root…that plaque is reduced.”Observational studies have also shown that people groups who eat large amounts of turmeric virtually never get Alzheimer’s.”In countries where people consume a lot of [turmeric], there’s a very low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease,” emphasized Kilham.

“In India and Southeast Asia, it’s a rare disease. And [in the U.S.] it’s very, very common.”According to Kilham, drug companies are hard at work trying to develop drug versions of turmeric, but he recommends eating real turmeric whenever possible, and taking turmeric extract supplements if eating the spice in food is not an option.”A challenge that we face is that drug companies…can’t patent turmeric root,” he said. “So they will continue to try to develop something else.

[But] eating turmeric, eating its extracts…appears to be protective against one of the most horrific and debilitating diseases we know.”Sources for this story include:

– An urgent plea to impeach a “Christianity-hating” President Obama for alleged “high crimes and misdemeanors” was issued today at the start of WND’s “Taking America Back Conference” in South Florida.U.S President Barack Obama makes his way to the Rose Garden to deliver a statement to the press on the economy at the White House in Washington D.C September 15 2010. UPI/Olivier Douliery/Pool Photo via Newscom

The call was announced by Floyd Brown, president of the Western Center for Journalism, who asserted in strong terms the commander in chief is deliberately trying to destroy the principles on which the U.S. was founded.

“The Obama presidency is a disease,” said Brown. “Article 2, Section 4 the impeachment clause of the Constitution is the cure. And it’s Obama’s hatred of America that makes it absolutely imperative that we take action now.”"Barack Hussein Obama is not some do-gooder that has had his plans go astray,” Brown added. “He is not a person of good will just trying his best to make America go the right direction.

He is not.

Barack Hussein Obama is a liar that absolutely knows what he’s doing to the United States of America. He has a plan. He has an agenda. This man knows exactly where he’s taking us.”

A political innovator, writer and speaker, Brown has now running an online campaign to impeach the president.”Barack Obama is a very dangerous man,” said Brown.

“Over the last two years, we have been watching the slow progression of what I call a bloodless coup.”

Carnegie Institution Tests Injecting Atmosphere With Sulfate

AerosolsundefinedPaul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.comFriday, September 17, 2010Global warming loons are at it again – despite the science behind man-made climate change being completely discredited by the Climategate fiasco and with increasing numbers of Americans skeptical about AGW, mad scientists at the Carnegie Institution are using taxpayer money to lay the groundwork for injecting the atmosphere with dangerous compounds which are known to cause debilitating health problems and could lead to massive droughts and famines.

Alarmists are once again trying to play God in a bid to solve an imaginary climate crisis based around their own fraudulent belief system, fully aware of the fact that the consequences of their actions will likely kill off millions in the third world, people who they see as nothing more than “useless eaters”.Based around the madcap method of “injecting aerosols of sulfate into the stratosphere” to produce “a global sunshade,” researchers at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology have been running advanced trials on how to distribute artificially added sulfates to the atmosphere in the name of cooling the planet.

“The Carnegie scientists ran five simulations using a global climate model with different sulfate aerosol concentrations depending on latitude. They then used the results from these simulations in an optimization model to determine what distribution of sulfates would come closest to achieving specified climate goals. They then tested these distributions in the global climate model to assess how well the climate goals were met,” states a press release about the study.

One of the main authors of the study was Ken Caldeira, the man who told a conference of fellow warmists earlier this year that it would be a good idea to make the emission of CO2 an illegal act. Presumably, that would include the very process of breathing since all humans exhale carbon dioxide. That’s right – the man tasked with playing God with the environment thinks breathing should be criminalized.But it gets worse – Caldeira is an advisor for and is being funded by Bill Gates – the man who thinks that old people should be killed to save teaching jobs, and the man who says that vaccines…

Boozman delivers on 2nd Amendment promise to veteransAR

September 17, 2010 1 comment

Sergeant Wayne Irelan has been fighting the good fight recently against the same U.S. government which he put his life on the line for in Iraq.

He, his wife Lana, and the rest of our beloved veterans are now seeing some important results.Last week, the story broke about Irelan and how his gun rights were snatched from him by the federal government. Wayne lost his Second Amendment rights after the Department of Veterans Affairs notified the National Instant Criminal Background Check System NICS.

Congressman John Boozman, after being contacted last week, immediately promised to check into the facts and do what he could to correct this terrible injustice.Boozman appeared on NRA radio and laid out his plans on how he would attempt to stop this appalling event from occurring in the future. Congressman Boozman also commended Sergeant Irelan on his persistence in correcting this governmental fiasco and highly praised his efforts, which will benefit veterans in the future.

“Wayne has had the courage to serve his country… this might be one of his greatest contributions, serving in this way, and being willing to step forward and voice an injustice…” ~ Congressman John BoozmanBoozman definitely lived up to his end of the deal; due to his efforts, the House Veterans Affairs Committee adopted an amendment on Wednesday, which would reform the process that removes Second Amendment rights from veterans.

This amendment requires a judicial authority to declare a veteran is a threat to him or the community before his name is handed over to NICS, thereby granting our heroes due process of the system.

White House Insider on Obama: “the President is Losing It.” The Truth Comes Out!

2008 gave America an incredibly charismatic candidate for President of the United States. Speech after speech showed a candidate with increasing momentum as primary race after primary race concluded. And then came the nomination, more speeches, culminating in an election night victory.snip

But after Obama was sworn in, things began to change?

Almost immediately.

Obama loved to campaign. He clearly didn’t like the work of being President though, and that attitude was felt by the entire White House staff within weeks after the inauguration. Obama the tireless, hard working candidate became a very tepid personality to us.

And the few news stories that did come out against him were the only things he seemed to care about.

He absolutely obsesses over Fox News. For being so successful, Barack Obama is incredibly thin-skinned.

Obama, Dhimmi President

Obama speaks like a dhimmi, acts like a dhimmi, and spends like a dhimmi.

…Obama doesn’t believe we’re in an American world…

This is a Muslim world, Obama thinks, and we’re just living in it.

I tend to disagree. Aside from the “rich heritage” Obama claims that Muslims have here in America, you heard it here first: no pilgrim I ever knew prayed to Mecca five times a day. Take it to the bank.As David French said in NationalReview.com, “If we can’t possibly appease the enemy, why even contemplate giving up our freedoms?” Why?

Because we appear to have a dhimmi president, and he’s asking that we accept our dhimmitude, just as he has.

The Mysterious Shadow: Code Name Obama [18.12.2008 : From The Pravda]

September 17, 2010 Leave a comment

This document alone raises a big question.

It is his registration in the State of Illinois for his license to practice Law.

The document has a space to list any other names that have been used. Even though he has used other names, this shows, “None”.

The other names he has used, that we currently know are: Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham.During the Presidential debates with Senator John McCain, Obama never once addressed his opponent as “Senator McCain” or “Mr. McCain”. Most people, who have any common courtesy at all, when speaking to their elders, or a senator, would address that person with some degree of respect and use his proper title.

Senator McCain has more experience than Obama, is older, has risked his life for his country and does address other people, whatever their position, with respect. Obama, with a look of contempt, addressed Senator McCain as “John this” or “John that”. Not once did he show any basic courtesy or manners to a war veteran, a 25 year member of the United States Senate, a man 25 years his senior. John McCain was a Senator before Obama even knew what name to call himself.

Harry Reid’s Illegal Alien Student Bailout

With ethnic activists breathing down his neck and President Obama pushing to fulfill his campaign promise to Hispanics, Reid wants his queasy colleagues to vote on the legislation next week.Open-borders lawmakers have tried and failed to pass the DREAM Act through regular channels for the past decade. That’s because informed voters know giving green cards to illegal alien students undermines the rule of law, creates more illegal immigration incentives and grants preferential treatment to illegal alien students over law-abiding native and naturalized American students struggling to get an education in tough economic times.

This bad idea is compounded by a companion proposal to recruit more illegal aliens into the military with the lure of citizenship a fraud-ridden and reckless practice countenanced under the Bush administration.DREAM Act lobbyists are spotlighting heart-wrenching stories of high-achieving teens brought to this country when they were toddlers. But instead of arguing for case-by-case dispensations, the protesters want blanket pardons.

The broadly drafted Senate bill would confer benefits on applicants up to age 35, and the House bill contains no age ceiling at all. The academic achievement requirements are minimal. Moreover, illegal aliens who didn’t arrive in the country until they turned 15 — after they laid down significant roots in their home country — would be eligible for DREAM Act benefits and eventual U.S. citizenship. And like past amnesty packages, the Democratic plan is devoid of any concrete eligibility and enforcement mechanisms to deter already-rampant immigration benefit fraud.

The DREAM Act sponsors have long fought to sabotage a clearly worded provision in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act IIRIRA that states: “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State or a political subdivision for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit in no less an amount, duration, and scope without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.”

Bail-outs of Freddie and Fannie will buryus under unpayable debt

ShareThis Article

By Devvy Kidd

“To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.

If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.” –Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.

ME 15:39 The “Federal” National Mortgage Association Fannie Mae and the “Federal” Home Mortgage Corporation Freddie Mac are driving this country further into financial collapse. Since 1968, those two entities have operated as gigantic rip-offs called “government sponsored enterprises” or GSEs.

Translated it means those companies are privately owned and operated just like the privately owned and operated “Federal” Reserve Banking System. Freddie and Fannie have shareholders who are financially protected by your wallet. The sweat of your labor.

The thieves in Congress gave them a line of credit which comes from the fruits of your labor. Those two corrupt operations are exempt from state and local income taxes and SEC oversight.

In Adam…Romans 5

In Adam…Romans 5
http://billrandles.wordpress.com/2010/09/16/in-adam-romans-5/ ^ | 09-16-10 | Bill Randles

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life….Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:10,12)

We have been looking at Paul’s teaching about assurance,in Romans 5 . Because of the resurrection of Jesus, we have been justified by faith, and brought into a new status of grace, which empowers us to rejoice even in trials, knowing that we have been completely reconciled to God, and abide as objects of the love of God.

Martyn Lloyd Jones, in his excellent study of Romans points out that in verse 10, the text reads “…We shall be saved by his life”, but that it could be better rendered “We shall be saved in His life.”.

The fact that we, the believers are considered to be “in His life”or “In Him”, is one of the greatest assurances we can possibly hold, as to our salvation.

But of Him are you In Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us Wisdom, Righteousness ,sanctification and redemption.(I Cor 1:30)

In God’s economy there is a sense in which there are only two men, Adam and Christ. All of humanity are considered to be either “in Adam” or “In Christ”. We were born “in Adam” , and upon new birth, by the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are Born Again,”In Christ”.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.(I Corinthians 15:21-22)

There is also a sense in which there was only one sin, the sin in the garden, and everything else, all evil, self will, pride and rebellion, is the outflow of that one sin. Yes all of us have sinned individually, but all sins are an outflow of the one sin.

Wherefore as by One man ,sin entered into the world…First of all, there really was an Adam, in whose loins the human race truly was entirely contained at one time, in the garden of Eden.

By that man sin made its entrance into the world, and consequently death. There was no death before the sin of Adam, but there is universal sin and death now. All of us were “in Adam” when he sinned, and all of us are and were effected by the sin of Adam.

Like it or not, all of us share in Adam’s sin, it has effected us, from birth, we are born in the Image of God, yet born estranged from God, and bear a sinful fallen nature.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.(Psalm 58:3)

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.(Psalm 51:5)

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him….And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:(Genesis 5:1-3)

Notice the teaching of Genesis? Adam was made in the Image of God, and bore a son Seth, who was born in the Image of Adam…This is called the doctrine of original sin.

Original sin is highly resented by many, but it is the explanation of what is wrong with us as people. we are fallen. Our problems go deeper than what we have done, it is who we are that alienates us from God. I am not a sinner because I sin, I sin because I was born a sinner.

Adam’s sin has been imputed to all of us, in the economy of God’s salvation, although he makes it clear that we all sin for ourselves,without Adam. However there is a solidarity of the Human race, whereby the One man’s sin has so effected us to literally constitute us as sinners before God. As in Adam all die…

This also explains why salvation cannot possibly be a matter of reform or self-improvement, it is who we are that condemns us, children of Adam, estranged and condemned as sinners with Adam, bearing the family (sinful) traits.

We need far more than forgiveness, we need a new birth, in fact we need a new Creation and a new Adam. That is the gospel of Romans chapter 5, that if the first Adam can representatively plunge us all into condemnation and death, there is a second Adam who has representatively reversed all of that! Hallelujah!

The Night Woody Allen and Billy Graham Argued The Meaning of Life

The Night Woody Allen and Billy Graham Argued The Meaning of Life
NBC Miami ^ | 9/16/2010 | Scott Ross

Posted on Thursday, September 16, 2010 2:18:24 PM by nickcarraway

It’s the kind of encounter made in TV heaven: the neurotic intellectual New York Jew and the fire-and-brimstone televangelist arguing about what it all means. Woody Allen interviewed Billy Graham in the 1960s, where the two men discussed all manner of topics touching on religion, morality and the meaning of life.

It was a respectful, intelligent and often funny conversation the likes of which would be impossible in today’s cultural climate, according to the legendary director, who recounted the meeting to the film press as he promoted his latest movie.

Allen’s talk with Graham resonates with him today, informing in part the themes of his latest film, “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.” The movie stars Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones in a story about the quest for comfort and certainty, and how faith — even an irrational one — can help us find solace. In New York this week to discuss “Stranger,” Allen reflected on his meeting with Graham.

“Years ago I was on television with Billy Graham and I was taking this position, this bleak outlook position and Billy Graham was saying to me that even if I was right and he was wrong, and there was no meaning to life and it was a bleak experience and there was no god and no afterlife or no hope or anything, he would still have a better life than me, because he believed differently and even if he was 100 percent wrong, our lives would both be completed and I would have had a miserable life wallowing in a bleak outlook and he would have had a wonderful life, confident that there was more.

” In “Stranger” these two opposing positions are staked out by Josh Brolin as Roy, a struggling novelist, and Gemma Jones as Helena, his mother-in-law who has begun taking great comfort in her visits with a psychic. “And so that was one of the main themes of this picture, that someone like Gemma could be deluded — as I felt Billy Graham was deluded — and she would have a better life than someone like Josh, who is more scientific minded and had a more realistic of life, but was going to have a more miserable life.”

While Allen is steadfast in his belief that people like Helena — or Billy Graham — are comforting themselves with lies, he does harbor a certain level of jealousy of the peace it affords them.

“I do feel that it’s important to have some kind of faith in something, but\ impossible for many of us. I personally don’t have any faith in anything. It’s great if you can. The only trouble is, is in Gemma’s position in the movie, she’s happy, deluded, with that character she through her lot in with at the end — they’re both crazy — but happy for the moment, because they;re going to have a rude awakening eventually, because she was not Joan of Arc, the reincarnation thing doesn’t really happen and she’s going to sooner or later, reality sets in in a crushing way. As it does and will with everybody, including Billy Graham. But it’s nice if you can delude yourself for as long as possible.”

Is it time for a third American political party?

September 16, 2010 1 comment

It has become obvious that the “big tentRepublican Party isn’t big enough to accommodate the likes of Christine O’Donnell and her conservative supportersIs it time for a third American political party? By Arthur Weinreb

Thursday, September 16, 2010

If there ever was a time for the United States to abandon its two party system that time is now. It is tempting to say that the way the Republican Party establishment is treating some of the candidates elected by their members is reminiscent of a banana republic but that would be grossly unfair to those countries that grow tropical fruit.

The need for another US political party was evident when Karl Rove appeared on Fox News, the day after the final 2010 primaries. Rove not only spoke about the deficiencies of successful candidate Christine O’Donnell but gave a clear illustration of exactly how the Republican “the Ronald Reagan era is over” power structure thinks.

The worst thing that Rove did was to make MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann sound rational and intelligent. Olbermann described Rove’s speech as a future political ad for O’Donnell’s opponent Chris Coons. And of course he’s right.It’s hard to recall another time in any democratic country when the movers and shakers of a major political party ever talked publicly about how their party was going to lose an election or even a seat but that’s what Rove and other Republicans are doing. Rove and other Republicans are not only attacking O’Donnell and other successful conservative candidates but they are insulting the thousands of Republicans who went out on Tuesday and cast votes for O’Donnell, Carl Paladino and other tea party candidates. How can anyone expect fed up Democrats and independents to vote for a Republican candidate when the party’s power brokers describe them as losers?

Tom Tancredo & Sheriff Joe Arpaio endorse a 9/11 truther for governor of California

Tom Tancredo & Sheriff Joe Arpaio endorse a 9/11 truther for governor of California

09-15-2010

In an ironic twist, ‘war on terra’ shill Tom Tancredo and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, two loyal establishment statists, have endorsed a woman for governor of California who can aptly be described as a 9/11 truther, meaning she questions the official government report regarding 9/11/01.

I don’t know Chelene Nightingale, but I like a lot of the things she says, such as ending the federal reserve, resisting government tyranny, securing our borders, and questioning the events of 9/11/01. You can read Nightingale’s comments regarding 9/11 below, and watch a video interview with her regarding this topic. I am not mocking her for these remarks; far from it.

I am a ’9/11 truther’ myself, and contend that 9/11 was absolutely a false flag operation orchestrated by criminal occultic elements within our own government. I even believe we have an absolute moral obligation to expose this truth and hold the true culprits responsible.

Anyone who takes the time to properly research the origins of the “population control” movement will come to understand that the Rockefeller-Turner-Gates agenda for drastic population reduction, which is now clearly manifesting itself through real environmental crises like chemtrails, genetically modified food, tainted vaccines and other skyrocketing diseases such as cancer, has its origins in the age-old malevolent elitist agenda to cull the human “chattel” as one would do to rodents or any other species deemed a nuisance by the central planning authorities.

Government Using Anti-Terrorism Laws to Crush Dissent

September 16, 2010 1 comment

The following quotes all have something in common:“It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error”– United States Supreme Court decision in American Communications Association v. Douds“To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men.”- Abraham Lincoln

“Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”- Ben Franklin

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”- Thomas Jefferson“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”-Thomas Jefferson“It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”- Robert F . Kennedy“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”- Samuel Adams“Patriotism means to stand by the country.

It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.

It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.”– Teddy Roosevelt

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”– Teddy Roosevelt“The citizen who sees his society’s democratic clothes being worn out and does not cry it out, is not a patriot, but a traitor.”- Mark Twain

Cold War Origins of the CIA Holocaust by Len Hart

September 16, 2010 Leave a comment

Cold War Origins of the CIA Holocaustby Len HartThe People’s Voice A new book by James W. Douglass [JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters] addresses an “an evil whose depth and deceit seemed to go beyond the capacity of words to describe.”

A few events, many of them very recent, qualify to be so described. The unspeakable “evil” in this case is the assassination of JFK, in fact, a cold-blooded murder in the streets.That it was a “President” so ignominiously gunned-down is in itself appalling, unspeakable but that it was a President who held out our best hopes to survive as a Democratic, free nation makes it all the more tragic in retrospect.The assassination succeeded, claims Douglass, because Americans can’t handle the truth. Americans have not faced up to what has happened to our nation or what has become of our dreams of freedom, democracy, equal rights and liberty.Douglass’ book is not another conspiracy book.

Many books, articles, writers, and talk show hosts have proven to my satisfaction and that of millions of Americans that the cold-blooded murder of JFK could not have been anything other than a conspiracy. The “lone nut” theory is subscribed to only by lone nuts and legions of liars. Douglass not only affirms a “conspiracy” but speaks directly to jaded Americans, addressing in the subtitle: “Why He Died and Why It Matters.”No murder but especially that of JFK can be understood in a vacuum.

There is a fateful history leading up to that dreadful day in Dallas, when the United States lost a President, America lost a future, and every American lost the “Yankee” optimism that had made our nation great.John F. Kennedy began as a “Cold Warrior” and ended as and perhaps because he transcended that role, that label. He had become the embodiment of all our hopes for peace as well as prosperity, more mature relations with both allies and adversaries as well as more humane domestic peace with those citizens who had been denied a fair share of that dream.

Today, anyone aspiring to any political office so lofty as that of President risks his/her life. This outcome may not, must not be tolerated if we are ever again to enjoy the blessings of competent government.

Lloyd Marcus — A Tale of Two Evil Democrat Paradigms

September 16, 2010 1 comment

By Lloyd Marcus

September 16, 2010NewsWithViews.com

Two paradigms which evil divisive democrats have shamefully promoted and exploited for years are; one, white men are burning the midnight oil thinking of ways to keep blacks down and two, all rich white people are selfish, evil and deserving of punishment.

No democrat president has sold the “you have too little because the rich have too much” message better than Obama which lead to angry protesters picketing the homes of corporate executives. Democrats are masters at creating a hated “bad guy” to further their agenda.As a black man, I wish to share a few of my life experiences which crush the paradigm that all whites are committed to keeping blacks down.

When I was 15, I wanted to attend art college on weekends. I wrote a letter to my white senator. When I arrived home from school one day, my mom said our senator stopped by, saw the sign I was painting for our teen dance and decided to give me a scholarship.
