Members Question Sec. Napolitano on Border, Immigration (Obviously, Janet Napolitano Is Incompetent

October 26, 2011 2 comments

Rep. Trey Gowdy from South Carolina asks Janet Napolitano questions concerning “gunwalking” and “fast and furious”.

You can draw your own conclusions as I have about her testimony. North Carolina deserves representatives and senators in Congress who are able to be on the same level as Rep. Gowdy. Once again, South Carolina is leading the nation by example.

Obama to nonunion Americans: Get lost

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Here is a message for those nonunion folks who are looking for jobs: Don’t expect any help from President Obama. If there is any doubt about this, just examine the record.

Starting with the president’s pending $447 billion “jobs” bill, Mr. Obama himself has repeatedly stated that his plan is to keep teachers, policemen and firefighters on the job and to provide money to put construction people to work. Now just what do these folks have in common? If you have not guessed it, they are all union members. As noted by The Washington Times in an Oct. 18 editorial titled, “Obama’s jobs bill mulligan,” there is no provision whatever for helping nonunion, private-sector workers. Mr. Obama does not try to hide this fact.

Of the $825 billion stimulus package, more then half went to state and local governments to keep those unionized teachers, policemen and firefighters on the job.

Is Student-Loan Forgiveness Obama’s Next Crisis?

October 26, 2011 1 comment

Government: President Obama wants student loans to be more like student handouts. Too bad he hasn’t learned one of the lessons of the 2008 mortgage crisis: Free money costs plenty.

The global financial crisis has its roots in the U.S. government’s politicization of mortgages. Washington decided that all those real-life versions of mean old bank president Mr. Potter from “It’s a Wonderful Life” shouldn’t just turn into big-hearted Jimmy Stewarts.

No, they should practically become welfare officers, doling out money to people with bad credit ratings to buy homes, without requiring a down payment.

And when this pyramid scheme collapsed, the investors who bought the safe-seeming, sliced-and-diced mortgage debt were left holding the bag.

Obama Taps Taxpayers For Student Stimulus

Fox News ^ | October 26, 2011 | Chris Stirewalt

Posted on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 9:23:41 PM by magellan

In keeping with his new campaign theme of “we can’t wait,” President Obama today will roll out a plan to put more money in the pockets of some of the nation’s 36 million student loan recipients.

Take this example: If Suzy Creamcheese gets into George Washington University and borrows from the government the requisite $212,000 to obtain an undergraduate degree, her repayment schedule will be based on what she earns. If Suzy opts to heed the president’s call for public service, and takes a job as a city social worker earning $25,000, her payments would be limited to $1,411 a year after the $10,890 of poverty-level income is subtracted from her total exposure.

Twenty years at that rate would have taxpayers recoup only $28,220 of their $212,000 loan to Suzy.

State Department defends bulk buys of Obama’s books

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

The State Department on Wednesday defended spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on books authored by President Obama, while White House spokesman Jay Carney called the book-buying an “embassy-based decision.” The comments followed a report Wednesday by The Washington Times that found the State Department had spent more than $70,000 on books by Mr. Obama. Most of the purchases came in the months after Mr. Obama won the White House, though the embassy in Paris spent more than $8,000 for copies of “Dreams From My Father” as recently as March.

Public Spectacle of Gaddafi’s Death Signal for Expanded War?

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

The Libyan “war” was evidently waged for several reasons, and probably had to do with oil andwith ensuring that Gaddafi did not begin to use gold rather than dollars as the main currency for Libyan oil. Additionally Gaddafi wastrying to set upAfrican Union that would use its own currency and oppose the West on numerous economic and socio-political issues.

The biggest reason from our point of view may be that the West is secretly working to set up an Islamic crescent of countries in the Middle East and Africa that may provide a pretext for war. Most of the countries that the West is destabilizing will end up with Islamic rulership to some degree, or so it seems. Libya is no exception.

It seems to us that there may be war on the horizon – big war – and Western citizens are now to be desensitized to it, and to the enemies of the West generally. This has happened with such Western enemies as the USSR – the “Red Menace” and the German “Huns,” the Japanese “Nips” and the Vietnamese “Gooks. “

Gaddafi death videos are still circulating on the Internet, each one more gruesome and graphic than the last. These videos circulate throughout the world – and especially throughout the Anglosphere at a time when YouTube denies viewers the sight of a breast or female nipple because it might cause offense. Such images are stashed behind a firewall.

Conclusion: But when it comes to videos of Gaddafi being killed or assaulted with blood dripping down his face, we have a full menu of gory items to choose from. We can watch all we want. The images circulate unimpeded. The US Secretary of State laughs and releases her celebratory clip for all the world to see. What does this portend?

Q. Faced with President Obama’s difficult re-election prospects, is there any depth to which the desperate liberal media won’t sink?

A. Apparently not.

How difficult is it for the dead to vote in Illinois? Audit results of Chicago Elections

AUDIT REPORT PEER REVIEWED AND PUBLISHED

BY THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL SECURITY

DOWNLOAD THE EXPLOSIVE REPORT

Press Release: October 26th 2011

How difficult is it for the dead to vote in Illinois?

Defend the Vote tested this question in an April 5th audit of Chicago elections. Results were complied into a report. This report, Vulnerability Assessment and Security Audit of Election Day Polling Place Procedures for the April 5, 2011 Municipal Elections in Chicago, Illinois, by Sharon Meroni, was peer-reviewed and published by the prestigious Journal of Physical Security. The Journal of Physical Security is published by Argonne National Laboratory’s Vulnerability Assessment Team.

On April 5, 2011 a group of citizens from various political parties and the tea party, equipped with audit questionnaires based on the Chicago Board of Election’s, Election Judge Training Guide, visited 239 polling places in Chicago to score the CBoE’s compliance with their own security protocols. The objective of the security assessment (the Audit) was to test enforcement of security protocols that are in place to protect our ballot.

The results were stunning: 210 precincts (91%) failed on one or more of the 11 critical security measures that were evaluated, 66% of them failed on more than one measure. 59% of the time, the CBoE failed to secure the ballot box.

Included in the report is an analysis of the security around the memory devices and the seals that safe guard them. The stack of boxes pictured below next to the open door, contain all of the memory devices used in voting equipment on Election Day in the City of Chicago. Each box has the memory devices for one Ward. These boxes were observed in this location during two separate trips to the warehouse.

Roger G. Johnston, Ph.D., CPP, is head of the Vulnerability Assessment Team (VAT) at Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Johnston has an expertise in ballot security. In reviewing our Vulnerability Assessment Report, he stated, “The paper by Sharon Meroni discusses an analysis of election security in Illinois. The findings are disturbing and relevant to elections elsewhere in the country. Election integrity is a homeland security issue and we had better start taking it seriously.” Further, Dr. Johnston found that “Chicago Board of Elections security protocols are wholly inadequate in securing the ballot.”

Legacy: Was Steve Jobs a selfish son of a bitch?

October 26, 2011 1 comment

Steve Jobs passed away earlier this month with an estimated fortune of $8 billion. I have yet to see a single report about one single dollar that he gave away to charity. How is it possible that a person who was lucky enough to be born and grow up in the United States and take advantage of our laws, schools, infrastructure and patent protections could be so selfish? Compare his lack of philanthropic giving with that of other similarly rich types, past and present. Andrew Carnegie gave away virtually his entire fortune, over $350 million dollars during his lifetime – $5 billion in today’s dollars. John D. Rockefeller gave away over half a billion dollars over his lifetime – $8 billion in today’s dollars. Bill Gates has given away over $30 billion dollars and promised to give away most of the rest of his fortune while his friend Warren Buffett has promised to donate 99% of his wealth. The pair has created The Giving Pledge where billionaires pledge to donate a significant amount of their fortunes to charity. If all of these people can give this amount away, what was wrong with Jobs?

Charity and private giving has been a great force in America since its founding. Through churches and local organizations for those of modest means to building libraries, museums, or foundations for the wealthy, America has been a country where the successful and struggling alike look to support their communities as well as support the less fortunate around the world.

Apparently not so for Steve Jobs however… and charity’s not the only place he was tight. When he was alive he did everything he could to reduce his taxes. He used tax shelters to lower his tax rate from 35% to around 15% on millions. He put his real estate and other assets in trusts so they would escape the death tax.

Everywhere you look Steve Jobs was doing what he could to keep his own money. Not giving it away. Avoiding paying taxes. All while he’s taking advantage of everything America has to offer.

What’s wrong with a person who sees the misery going on around the world, from hunger in Africa to millions of poor here and does nothing to lend a hand? What kind of legacy is that?

When the robber baron Andrew Carnegie died his legacy was obvious. He had built thousands of libraries around the world, founded a university and built Carnegie Hall. By the time he died, JD Rockefeller had remade the face of modern medicine and created what was for years the largest charitable foundation in the world. Bill Gates is still very much alive, and he is remaking the face of charity. What kind of legacy is Steve Jobs leaving?

In 1977 he and Steve Wozniak introduced the Apple II, the first fully assembled personal computer. At the time the notion of a personal computer was an utterly foreign concept to 99.9% of the people on the planet. Term papers were still being written on typewriters. Math was still being done on calculators. Research was still done at the library.

In 1984 Apple introduced the Mac, the first personal computer to feature a mouse and graphic user interface. At the time most others still used the C: prompt.

In 1986 when he purchased Pixar, it was primarily a high-end computer hardware company with graphics as a side note.

In 2001 when Apple introduced the iPod, digital music was just becoming popular but most digital players were “big and clunky or small and useless”.

In 2003 when Apple introduced the iTunes Store the music industry was imploding and college students were being sued in their dorms.

In 2007 when Apple introduced the iPhone few people were able to surf the Internet on their phone and most competitors’ products were poorly designed and performed similarly.

In 2010 when Apple introduced the iPad, it essentially created the market, selling 5 times more than the rest of the devices combined.

Looking at all of this, the question to ask is, is Steve Job’s legacy going to be that he didn’t care about other people because he didn’t give his money away or let the government take it? Or is it going to be the fact that he changed the world and gave people something that is far more precious than money… more of their own time.

New Book: The Reality Is That America Owns China, And China Is Only Just Now Realizing It

Linette Lopez

Oct. 26, 2011, 4:54 PM

People are always saying that China owns the United States. Here at Business Insider, we’ve gone over all the ways that that’s not true.

Now a new book goes even farther, it says that the United States owns China. And because of that, the United States will rise up and dominate in the coming decade.

The book is called “The American Phoenix,” and it was written by Hong Kong based economist Diana Choyleva, and Charles Dumas.

Via Bloomberg:

“When you look at the problems facing the world, the bubbles and imbalances, America’s are easier to fix than most,” Choyleva said. “It says a lot about the state of things globally.”

Choyleva and Dumas think about it like this: Foreign investment in China has only created the illusion of wealth. Once investors go away, that money will be gone because most of it actually is wasted by the people and the government. That, combined with inflation and social unrest, means it’s only a matter of time before China defeats itself.

And then there’s the fact that China has bought a lot of U.S. Treasuries. That doesn’t mean that they own America. Quite the contrary. It means that China is subject to the decisions of the Federal Reserve. When Bernanke lowers interest rates, Chinese inflation worsens.

The authors of American Phoenix say that China would’ve been better off just letting the yuan appreciate.

But they won’t, and that means their(sic) on the road to regret — a road that Europe has been on for the past two years.

The United States, though, has top Universities, and a great fertility rate.

The Misguided Foreign Policy Of Paul’s Libertarian Loyalists

October 26, 2011 1 comment

As Republican realists question President Obama’s wisdom in pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq by year’s end, one subset of GOP activists is cheering: the followers of candidate for commander-in-chief Ron Paul.

That should concern Americans who, understandably, are fatigued by war but who see their country as a force for global stability, not to mention as an influence for universal freedom.

The Texas congressman, now in his third run at the highest office (once as the Libertarian Party candidate) brings magnetic appeal to a burgeoning electorate worried about the unsupportable and oppressive growth of government, for which both the Bush and Obama administrations bear loads of blame.

A tad cranky perhaps, but Paul comes across as the primary campaign’s vindicated seer, refreshingly impervious to the counsel of pollsters and image-makers. His gadfly candidacy, though the Paulistas will cavil at such a description, has noticeably served to pull the other candidates in a libertarian direction.

That’s a welcome development. I myself have toiled for some four decades in the libertarian vineyards and cheer heartily for his calls for radical retrenchments in the outsized federal government. A GOP standard bearer who offers a tepid imitation of Obama — they don’t call it ObamneyCare for nothing — will neither appeal to voters nor restore the critical free-market system.

But if presumed nominee Mitt Romney and Paul are miles apart on important domestic issues, it’s evident the Massachusetts governor has bought in partially to the libertarian’s neo-isolationism. (I know, Paul offers his cosmopolitan free-trade philosophy to counter the isolationist charge, but he clearly wants to withdraw American armed forces to inside our borders, providing a workable definition of isolationist.)

Romney So Far: No Core Beliefs, Many Flip-Flops

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Is there anyone sane left in the GOP establishment? Does plain old common sense and gut instinct no longer matter to those who purport to speak for the party? Have conservative principles and traditional values become nothing more than meaningless rhetoric to those so desperate to hang on to imagined power?

As the Republican establishment lines up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney, it would be illuminating and in fact critical to look at the news for just the last couple of days with regard to this untethered and pliable candidate. A good place to start would be Romney refusing to back Ohio Gov. John Kasich against the public-employee unions’ attempt to roll back the law against union greed.

In a devastating and spot-on critique of Romney with regard to this issue, the conservative Club for Growth said:

“The big problem many conservatives have with Mitt Romney is that he’s taken both sides of nearly every issue important to us. He’s against a flat tax, now he’s for it. He says he’s against ObamaCare, but was for the individual mandate and subsidies that are central to ObamaCare. He thinks that collective bargaining issues should be left for states to decide if he’s in Ohio, but he took the opposite position when he was in New Hampshire. This is just another statement in a long line of statements that will raise more doubts about what kind of President Mitt Romney would be in the minds of many Republican primary voters.”

Ouch.

Next we turn our attention to the far-left New York Times and its recent headlines regarding Mitt Romney: “Lectern Gone, Romney Finds More Success,” said one. Another proclaimed: “Why It’s Good For Romney To Be At 21 Percent.”

Perry backing away from the debates?

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Either this is the most awesome primary campaign move in recent memory, or an acknowledgment that we shouldn’t expect to see debates become Rick Perry’s strong suit in the near future. I’m know which way I’m betting:

Rick Perry, who made clear during his Bill O’Reilly interview last night that he finds the debate formats geared toward promoting a fight, is going to the No. 9 one after that – but is a question mark for some of the glut of face-offs after that.

The Wall Street Journal also picked up on this statement:

Rick Perry saw his poll numbers swoon after a series of shaky debate performances in September. Now his campaign says the Texas governor may get a lot more selective, potentially skipping some of the jousting contests between now and when voting for the Republican presidential nomination starts in early January. “We are going to evaluate each debate as it comes and take each one on its own merits,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner, adding that for now, Mr. Perry is confirmed only for the next GOP debate, set for Michigan Nov. 9th. At least five more debates are now scheduled between the Michigan contest and the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3rd. The campaign argues that with less than 10 weeks to go before the first votes fly, the debates devour too much time for travel and preparation. “The primaries are right [around] the corner and there is simply more to do than there is time to do it,” Mr. Miner said.

Supercommittee Dems push for stimulus to be part of deficit deal

October 26, 2011 2 comments

Democrats on the congressional supercommittee this week presented Republicans with a plan to cut the deficit that included billions of dollars in stimulus spending, aides told The Hill.

In a private meeting of the deficit panel Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, presented a proposal backed by a majority of Democrats on the panel that includes more than a trillion dollars in tax increases. The revenue would partially cover stimulus spending for the economy, aides said.

More than 50 percent of the deficit reduction in the plan would come from tax increases, one source said.

The plan from Democrats approaches the $3 trillion in deficit reduction that was included in the “grand bargain” that lawmakers debated over the summer.

Ann Coulter: IF I WERE A LIBERAL …

IF I WERE A LIBERAL …

October 26, 2011

If I were a liberal, I would have spent the last week in shock that a Democratic audience in Flint, Mich., cheered Vice President Joe Biden’s description of a policeman being killed. (And if I were a liberal desperately striving to keep my job on MSNBC, I’d say the Democrats looked “hot and horny” for dead cops — as Chris Matthews said of a Republican audience that cheered for the death penalty.)

Biden’s audience whooped and applauded last week in Flint when he said that without Obama’s jobs bill, police will be “outgunned and outmanned.” (Wild applause!)

I suppose liberals would claim they were applauding because they believe Obama’s jobs bill will prevent these murders. Which reminds me: Republicans believe the death penalty prevents murders!

Which belief bears more relationship to reality?

In a case I have previously mentioned, Kenneth McDuff was released from death row soon after the Supreme Court overturned the death penalty in 1972 and went on to murder more than a dozen people.

William Jordan and Anthony Prevatte were sentenced to death in 1974 for abducting a teacher, murdering him and stealing his car. They came under suspicion when they were caught throwing the murder weapon from the stolen vehicle in a high-speed car chase with the cops and because they were in possession of the dead man’s wallet, briefcase and watch.

The Georgia Supreme Court overturned their capital sentences in an opinion by Robert H. Hall, who was appointed by Gov. Jimmy Carter.

Hall said that the death sentences had to be set aside on the idiotic grounds that the jurors had overheard the prosecutor say that the judge and state supreme court would have the opportunity to review a death sentence, which might have caused them to take their sentencing role less seriously.

Perhaps some Democrat foreign policy expert — if there is such a thing — can explain “The Obama Doctrine” to me. Let’s review, shall we?

• Libya – a NATO-supported rebel force helped defeat the terrorist dictator Muammar Gaddafi, but also left the country in control of one Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, who has declared his government’s “fealty to Shariah, Islam’s brutally repressive, totalitarian political-military-legal doctrine.”

• Egypt – once the peaceful ally of both Israel and the United States, the overthrow of President Mubarak was quickly and publicly supported by President Obama. In Mubarak’s place, a hard-core Islamist leadership has arisen under the direction of the feared Muslim Brotherhood. The country’s downtrodden Coptic Christian community is also being systematically eliminated, the hallmark of religous governments in majority Islamic countries.

Senators Propose Law to Make Fake Maple Syrup a Felony Offense

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Senators from maple syrup-producing states are seeking a law to make selling the fake stuff a punishable offense.

Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, proposed legislation Thursday to make selling fraudulent maple syrup a felony. The bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is called the Maple Agriculture Protection and Law Enforcement (MAPLE) Act.

Leahy stated in a press release that he is alarmed at the increasing number of people and businesses claiming to sell Vermont maple syrup but actually selling something “that is not maple syrup at all.”

“This is fraud, plain and simple, and it undermines a key part of Vermont’s economy,” Leahy stated in the release.

Collins, whose state is the third biggest producer of pure maple syrup in the country, stated that fake labeling hurts the agricultural industry and defrauds customers “who have the right to know exactly what they are purchasing.”

Obama’s 2012 pitch: Still unfinished business

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

DENVER (AP) — Raising money and appealing for votes, President Barack Obama is framing his 2012 re-election campaign as a call to complete unfinished business and as a clear choice between his ideas and those of potential rivals who he says are no different than the congressional Republicans who are thwarting him now.

The message lets Obama highlight accomplishments and lump Republican presidential candidates with unpopular legislators. Time and again Obama reminds his campaign backers that the 2012 election will be more difficult than the last. And, aware that some Democrats are less enthusiastic about him than they were three years ago, he is using every opportunity to enumerate achievements, from health care to financial regulatory changes to the repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gay service members.

Lately, Obama has been telling audiences that he is marking off a list of campaign promises he made in 2008.

“We’re through about 60 percent of it,” he told a group of 100 donors in Denver Tuesday. “Which isn’t bad for three years.”

First, before we look at this bizarre and very troubling story that has already gone viral on the Internet, we need to raise a question that everyone else appears to be ignoring. Since when does the US Department of Education have a SWAT team at their disposal? Official answer: they borrowed it from the Inspector General. Okay. Now, let’s rephrase the question. Since when does the US Department of Education’s Inspector General have a SWAT team at its disposal? The short answer? Since the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

President Jimmy Carter and a social progressive Democratic Congress created the Department of Education with Public Law 96-88 on Oct. 17, 1979, and George W. Bush and a Republican Congress armed them in 2002 with an extension of the Patriot Act in what can only be described as the silent creation of the Bully State.

And, finally—why? When the other questions are pondered and answered, one nagging question remains. Since the Office of the Inspector General was specifically created to investigate waste and fraud by individual employees in the federal government, why would the IG for any federal agency need a SWAT team?

The Constitutional Coloring Book will allow you to see what has been hidden within the Constitution for more than 220 years. The application of a little color will magically draw out every secret that has been buried in this venerable document. The truth will finally come out—drawn out by you. Here are just a few secrets that will be revealed to you:

There are no less than 5 Presidents in the Constitution.

The President Elect has never taken the proper oath to the Office of President.

No President has ever taken an oath to support the written Constitution.

The President elected by the Electors appoints the President of the United States.

George Washington established the precedent of appointing himself to be President of the United States.

The Commander in Chief in this Constitution is not the President of the United States.

The Chief Justice is not a Judicial Officer.

The legislative power of Congress is limited Washington, D. C., federal territory and the possessions of the United States of America.

The United States Supreme Court is not a Judicial Court.

Washington, D. C. and Puerto Rico are considered to be States of the Union.

All you know about the Constitution is what you have been told and what you have been told is all wrong. Government is broken and can’t be fixed because no one knows what the government law that put it together really is. We can all agree that unconstitutional laws are void—what can be done with an unconstitutional Constitution?

Save Us from Joe Biden

October 26, 2011 1 comment

There is, I swear, an entire category on Google titled “Joe Biden is an idiot.” As further proof, there are collections of Joe Biden quotes.

Addressing a gathering of the House Democratic Caucus on February 6, 2009, shortly after he and the President were sworn into office, Biden said, “If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s a 30% change we’re going to get it wrong.”

A growing majority of Americans has concluded that they got closer to 90% wrong, no matter what they did. The Obama administration is going to go into the history books as one of the worst the nation has ever endured.

That says a lot about Obama’s judgment because it was he who chose Biden to be his Vice President. Biden has turned out to be Obama’s alter ego and, we’re told, one of his most trusted advisors.

Occupy Arrests: Oakland, Atlanta and Asheville (video)

The following video contains footage directly from Oakland, CA and Atlanta, GA concerning the civil unrest and arrests associated with the occupation:

Eight people were arrested last night in Asheville, NC bringing the total to fifteen arrests. The organizers of this movement have a decision to make: stand down for winter or escalate the violence now. If the latter decision starts to gain momentum with the November 5th Bank Transfer Day, civil unrest throughout the nation will become the legacy of this administration.

Gaddafi son wants to surrender to The Hague – NTC

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son and heir apparent, Saif al-Islam, and ex-intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi have reportedly suggested turning themselves in to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

­The news comes from NTC senior Libyan military official Abdel Majid Mlegta, as quoted by Reuters.

Since NTC forces took control of Sirte, Gaddafi’s hometown, the colonel’s son has remained in hiding. He is believed to be somewhere near Libya’s southern border with Niger.

According to the NTC official, Saif al-Islam and Senussi are trying to broker a deal to surrender to the court through a neighboring country. Which country that might be, however, has not been revealed.

Mlegta claimed that they feel unsafe both in Libya and in neighboring Niger and Algeria, where some Gaddafi family members have already found refuge. In any case, he added, they said that Niger was asking for too much money for them to stay.

Saif al-Islam, like his deceased father and Senussi, is wanted for war crimes. The ICC issued arrest warrants for the three of them in June on charges of crimes against humanity, after the matter was referred to the court by the UN Security Council in February. The charges were made in connection with the Libyan regime’s violent crackdown on protesters that month.

As to what is behind Saif al-Islam’s decision, political analyst Samir Awad told RT that it is likely that “he has seen what happens to anyone linked to the Gaddafi regime or his family if they fall into the hands of rebels, who are completely disorganized and who abide by no law.”

The analyst suggested that Gaddafi’s son may have decided that instead of living as a fugitive for the rest of his life, he would rather surrender to The Hague.

Insider’s Insights on the Perry Shake-up (Anita calling the shots)

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Running for president would be different. “I don’t think it’ll be seamless,” cautioned Bill Miller, a veteran Austin political consultant who has worked for both parties and counts Perry as a friend. And no, it has not been seamless. In fact, it’s been coming apart at the seams, which is why Perry has now brought in a whole new set of advisers, in addition to his standard team, led by Joe Allbaugh, who served as the day-to-day manager of George W. Bush’s campaigns, alongside the rest of Bush’s “iron triangle,” the big-picture guy Karl Rove, and Bush’s personal guardian, Karen Hughes. I asked Miller how to read the shake-up. Some of his observations:

…..

3. The move is further proof of the sway of Anita Perry. She helped persuade Perry to run, and she earlier played a key role in getting him to issue the controversial HPV vaccine mandate. “This is Anita-driven, not Rick-driven. Anita is the one who said, ‘We’ve got to make changes.’”

Chelsea Clinton Mulls Congressional Run from New York State

October 26, 2011 2 comments

Talk of the Sound has learned that Chelsea Clinton may run for Congress next year.

Clinton has been approached by “the right people” in the New York Democratic Party, according to one source in Albany. While no decision has been made, Clinton is said to be “actively considering” a Congressional run from New York State in 2012.

Chelsea Clinton, 31, is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The discussions of running Chelsea Clinton for a house seat grew out of the redistricting plans currently underway in the New York State legislature in Albany.

The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York’s 18th District considered a strong possibility. The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12 years.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have owned a home in New York’s 19th Congressional District since 1999. The 19th is a swing district that went for Republican Nan Hayworth in 2010. The 18th District on the other hand is solidly Democratic. Barack Obama won the district in 2008 by 62% to 38%, John Kerry won in 2004 by 58% to 42%. Al Gore won the district 58% to 39%.

One senior Democrat, a former elected official in New York, told Talk of the Sound that Democrats involved in the discussions are excited, seeing Chelsea Clinton as an “automatic win” for the Democrats in 2012.

Actor Orlando Jones defends tweet calling for Sarah Palin’s death

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Orlando Jones, best known for his stint at comedy show MADtv, recently tweeted for liberals to kill Sarah Palin and defended his statement, saying, “My tweet hit a nerve. That’s good.”

Several days ago, Jones wrote on his Twitter account: “Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi, if American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin(:”

He then faced a barrage of criticism on his Twitter feed and via his Facebook account. CNN reports Jones responded to a number of Twitter users, “including one that asked why the actor ‘thinks it’s funny to call for Sarah Palin to be murdered.’ Jones replied to the query, ‘I don’t. I think it’s funny that you are so upset about my inane tweet.’”

Jones, also known for being a 7-Up spokesperson in the late 1990s, defended his tweet, recently writing, “My tweet was farcical not funny or a call to action.”

On his Facebook Page, Jones went further to fully explain his motive behind the inflammatory tweet: “Any anger directed at me and my right to free speech is an absolute waste of time. I am not a statesman. My comments reflect no political affiliation. It’s just me being me, in a world that will never comfortably mix political correctness with artistic expression. For that, I offer no apologies, excuses or wisdom.”

Palin or her representatives haven’t responded to the tweet or its fallout yet. This story will be updated as news comes in.

Alien Genetic Takeover: The End of Humanity

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

COMMENT FROM ALEX JONES: Yes the headline says alien takeover, because it is alien to cross plant, animal, insect and microscopic species… and this witch’s brew is already having disastrous effects and is the single greatest thing not only to our species but to the planet as a whole.

In this powerful video, Alex breaks down how the global takeover might as well be coming from a hostile alien species– as depicted in John Carpenter’s classic 1982 horror film ‘The Thing‘. In fact, such an invader would be hard pressed to wreak more destruction upon the earth’s biosphere.

In the film, and its other versions from 1951 and 2011, an uncovered species takes over its host’s DNA while outwardly imitating it, threatening to infect the entire planet in a short span. In the real world, aggressive genetically-modified species are destroying naturally-occurring species while provably causing harm to those who consume GMO foods– including widespread infertility, organ failure, cancer and mutations, as demonstrated repeatedly in lab animal studies.

In fact, the real dangers of GMOs, human-animal hybrids, vaccines (loaded with super-viruses, dangerous chemical compounds and other special ingredients), fluoride and much more have only begun to unleash their long-term multi-generational harm. The frank reality is that what humanity faces is far worse than Alex could possibly convey in this short presentation.

Complex and controversial emerging legal rulings over gene patents and intellectual property are clearly paving the way for the globalists’ ‘Thing‘ mechanism to dominate agriculture, monopolize medicine and profit on mass-death and the unraveling of our planet’s genetic inheritance. Those in power hope to retain a privately-controlled continuity through their arctic seed vaults (a la Noah’s ark), but life is bigger than even they can grasp.

Technological solutions will create a two-tier system aiming to enshrine the lives of the elite- with the available enhancements for health and longevity- while allowing further domination and dumbing-down of the masses (the nouveau riche, the middle class and poor alike). A wide-spectrum of ambient soft-kill enviro-additives poison us all, with the future hanging in the balance, at the very time an inner-coterie of science, tech and wealth has declared that the future doesn’t need us.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

If we don’t stop this ‘Thing‘ now, we may never have a second chance. It is vital we recognize this amorphous danger for what it is– the annihilation of our species and those with which we co-inhabit. We don’t have any more time to waste.

An Army Ranger who was on his 14th deployment to a combat zone has been killed in Afghanistan.

Sgt. First Class Kristoffer B. Domeij, 29, was killed Saturday when the assault force he was with triggered a hidden roadside bomb in Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province.

Domeij served four deployments in Iraq and another nine stints in Afghanistan. During that time he was awarded two Bronze Stars. His third Bronze Star, earned during his final tour in Afghanistan, will be awarded posthumously, according to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

Also killed in Saturday’s blast were First Lieutenant Ashley White, 24, a Cultural Support Team member, and fellow Ranger Private First Class Christopher A. Horns, 20, who was on his first combat deployment.

Evan Smith on Bloggingheads.tv says, despite his fall in the polls, Rick Perry will likely best Mitt Romney in the contest for the GOP nomination.

Smith says Romney’s support is “wide and shallow” while Perry’s support is “narrow and deep,” and he categorizes this election as a “narrow and deep” election.

He also says that, other than Jon Huntsman, there is no other candidate left in race whom, upon dropping out, would endorse Romney. He adds that the supporters of the other candidates would also not gravitate to Romney.

Company gets nervous after creepy ‘Intellistreets’ concept exposed by Drudge Report

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet.com

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

The company behind a Department of Homeland Security-funded project to install street lights that double as sophisticated surveillance devices pulled its promo video for ‘Intellistreets’ from You Tube hours after our article drawing attention to the issue was linked on the popular Drudge Report website.

Promo Video For DHS Backed Spy Street Lights Pulled From You Tube 261011feature5

Having initially disabled comments on the You Tube clip, Illuminating Concepts yanked the video entirely this afternoon, presumably nervous about the negative publicity that could be generated from concerns about new high-tech street lights being used for “Homeland Security” purposes – their words, not ours.

However, having gone to the trouble of putting together a promotional video for their product, and having already started installing the system in the city of Farmington Hills, Michigan with the aid of federal funding, the fact that the company attempted to prevent people learning about the “Homeland Security” applications for the street lights speaks volumes.

If ‘Intellistreets’ is such a cutting edge concept that presents an array of wonderful benefits, as the promo video claims, then why remove it from You Tube? It’s almost like a kid getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Now that the company has tried to hide the video, it will only generate more suspicion about the true purpose behind ‘Intellistreets’ and the level of involvement on behalf of Homeland Security.

As we documented earlier today, ‘Intellistreets’ is even more frightening a concept than the DHS-funded surveillance cameras that have blanketed America. Not only does this system have video surveillance capabilities, it also includes audio sensors and speaker systems that will be used by authorities to “promote civic awareness,” presumably in the same vein as Homeland Security’s telescreens in Wal-Mart stores that feature a message from Janet Napolitano encouraging Americans to spy on each other and report suspicious activity.

Using street lights as Minority Report-style broadcasting platforms for advertising and government propaganda also dovetails with the Obama administration’s agenda to have complete control over communications by means of the Emergency Alert System and the program to have all new cell phones display mandatory “emergency” messages from the federal government by next year.

You can still watch a duplicate of the video for ‘Intellistreets’ below (until that too is pulled). The video is also still available on the company’s website.

HOW AND WHY DID THE MEANING OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT CHANGE?

by Creg Maroney

Rep. John A. Bingham represented the 16th District of Ohio and was the principal framer of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Civil War

(Oct. 26, 2011) — Many people leave out very important wording in the 14 Amendment, which states:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States [[AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF ]], are citizens of the United States…

Per the U.S. Constitution, anyone born in the U.S. and NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF are definitely NOT U.S. citizens.

Just because one is born on U.S. soil does not make him a U.S. citizen. No court can overrule the U.S. Constitution which they are supposed to defend and protect. Perversion of the law is not law.

LAW OF THE LAND, WE ARE A REPUBLIC.

CITIZENS RULE BOOK:

[[The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid. This is succinctly stated as follows:

FBI reports gang ‘infiltration’ of U.S. military | Campaign 2012

Hell’s Angels graffiti written on the back of a military vehicle in Iraq. / FBI

Gang members have been signing up with the United States Armed Forces, posing a “significant criminal threat” to law enforcement, according to a report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

“Gang infiltration of the military continues to pose a significant criminal threat, as members of at least 53 gangs have been identified on both domestic and international military installations,” the report says, resulting in American gang graffiti in Iraq, among other things.

Every branch of the military contains some gang members, the FBI reported, but most gang members join the Army, the Army Reserves, and the U.S. National Guard. And gang member enlistment doesn’t require a sinister intention. “Many street gang members join the military to escape the gang lifestyle,” says the FBI, while others join at the behest of a court “as an alternative to incarceration.”

But the military sometimes proves a bad environment for gang members, who “often revert back to their gang associations once they encounter other gang members in the military.”

Numerous U.S. gangs, according to the report, “advise members without criminal records to join the military for necessary weapons and combat training.” Military deployments, in the event, end up placing gang members alongside other members of the armed forces on active duty…..

There is no “President Obama

BUT THERE ARE TRAITORS IN CONGRESS, THE COURTS, AND THE WHITE HOUSE

August 17, 2010

Dear Editor,

If Obama is a usurper, will we ever see justice served and adequate punishment carried out?

The Obama “Presidency” is nonexistent. The media refers to Barack Obama as “President Obama.” I have said it many times in the past and will reiterate it now:

Barack Obama has never been the President of the United States of America. Under the U.S. Constitution, one has to be a “natural born Citizen,” which means born in the U.S., of parents, both of whom are American Citizens, in order to become President of the United States.

Given the facts and circumstances of Barack Obama’s birth, Obama had only one American citizen parent. Obama’s father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a British citizen. There is some talk that Obama may actually be the son of Malcolm X. Who really knows who Barack Obama is and if that is his real name? His entire past has been purposely obfuscated…..

Putin voices disgust at TV broadcasting of Gaddafi’s death

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

MOSCOW, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that he was disgusted by TV coverage of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s death.

“Nearly all Gaddafi’s family was killed, his corpse was shown by all TV channels around the world. It was impossible to watch without disgust,” Interfax news agency quoted Putin as saying.

Speaking at a meeting of the Russian Popular Front in Moscow, Putin also said that none of the world religions would allow TV channels to broadcast the killing of a bloodstained but yet alive man.

“There is nothing good that all these scenes were demonstrated on the screens and millions of people, including children, saw that,” Putin stressed.

He added that the media must take moral responsibility for the broadcasting.

Gaddafi, who was in power for 42 years in Libya, and his son Mutassim were captured alive last Thursday when forces of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) wrested full control of his hometown of Sirte. But both of them died in murky circumstances shortly after being seized by NTC fighters.

A New Wave Of Islamic Terror, Courtesy Of Obama

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Using the murky reasoning of Obama Logic, best described as an enigma, An Islamist Spring has been imposed upon the world with the aid and encouragement of Obama. In his latest attempt to impose freedom and mayhem on the people of Libya, Obama has used the American military to insure that the people of Libya could depose their despot and pave the way for a wave of terror and bloodshed, while they determine their own Islamic Fundamentalist destiny.

While Socialist revolutionaries praise the vision of Obama, there are others who are willing to realistically appraise what the Narcissist in Chief and his personal direction of the American military has accomplished with this latest foreign policy disaster.

Libya has some of the richest sweet crude reserves in the world. The crude is called sweet crude because it costs far less to refine than other crude oil. In the world of oil, on which the true economy of the world is based, an economy in which Obama wants America to be only a consumer of wealth and not a producer of wealth, this sweet crude is among the most valuable. Thus it will be a great generator of wealth for whatever Islamic Fundamentalist Strongman that forces his way into power.

It is the nature of Obama Logic that nothing he does is ever explained or needs to be explained: whether it is because he is incapable of explaining his actions or he refuses to explain because of wishing to maintain a self-imposed image of omnipotency or perhaps, he knows if the country knew his true intentions, he would need to deal with his own American uprising, we will never know.
