Was it God's hand?







On March 23, 2009 a small passenger plane crashed into a Butte, Montana graveyard resulting in 14 family members perishing in the crash (7 adults and 7 children).

Here is an AP article reporting on the incident.

The article goes into detail on all of the victims backgrounds with an exception of the father that chartered the plane that killed two of Feldkamp’s daughters, two sons-in-law and five grandchildren along with the pilot and four family friends.

They mention the adults and their children by name and go further by explaining in eulogy fashion that one of the adults was a Doctor. The article barely mentions the plane crashing into a cemetary with the following "Steve Guidoni of Butte said he was driving by the cemetery and also saw the plane nosedive into the ground.

He stopped and ran over to see if he could help." The blurb could have led the reader to believe that the witness was "driving past a cemetary" instead of actually crashing into one.

So, what is the big deal about these "sketchy" details?

The rest of the story....

The father that chartered the plane who lost his two children just happened to be one of the largest abortion facilities owners in the US. In fact, his abortion clinics that he owns (provide abortion services up to 5 months into the pregnancy) actually outpaced "Planned Parenthood" numbers in the State of California.

and oh, by the way......

The cemetary that the plane crashed into was where the "tomb of the unborn" is located where people can go and pray the rosary for those innocents that have been terminated through abortions.

The abortion memorial was mere feet from where the crash occurred at "Catholic Holy Cross Cemetary".

Ezekiel 35:6 reads - if "you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you".

Finally, "Our Lady of the Rockies", in the image of Mary, Mother of Jesus and sit's atop the continental divide an overlooks the City of Butte. One of the tallest 90' in the US and the World.

The United States of America is INSOLVENT


It is time we audit the Federal Reserve for answers

During the Presidential campaign that ended in an usurper stealing the White House (yes a Republican can now claim an Presidential election was stolen) most eyes were focused on McCain and Palin or Obama and Biden but many others were on Ron Paul.

As a Republican who was not thrilled about the Republican ticket of McCain (at least until Sarah Palin joined forces with him) I viewed the candidacy of Ron Paul with suspicion as being too radical. That being said I now believe that I was short sighted on many of the things that Paul had to say that I now see (in hindsight) was right on target.

Recent current events have opened my eyes to those whom, like me, were suspicious and fearful of the policies he had run his “Presidential Platform” on.

One of those issues I refer is his belief that there are those in the US Government that have been hiding the fact (through legislation and laws) that our Government is insolvent! How can we really know for sure what the situation is when laws are in place to prevent the public from scrutinizing the Federal Reserve?

The second issue I see happening (and which I wrote a blog on here) was the Government’s attempt to guide law enforcement agencies by training them to spot “red flags” identifying individuals as potential militia members (right wing radicals).

When I wrote the blog that the Federal Government was training law enforcement against those with Conservative views as potential militia members I did not mention one of the red flags that made it into the report (because I did not see any type of connection or relevance to the two issues I mention above) that included Ron Paul and his followers.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93067

More importantly, the question I failed to ask, or even see, was “why is there such a rush at this time to train law enforcement officials to spot militia” when in the last 20 years there have not been any attributable act’s against our government terror wise by “militia groups” especially in Missouri where the law enforcement memo is being disseminated and taught?

Additionally, there are “homegrown” terror groups that ARE active in the US and have perpetrated over 2,000 acts of terror on US soil over the last 20 years, so why is there no seminars or “red flags” targeting them? The specific group I mention here is the Earth Liberation Front or E.L.F. The ELF has 4 members currently on the FBI’s most wanted list (terrorists) and not one “militia member”.

So what is the rush to train law enforcement against militias? I could go on to say some party hack response is because the group is an environmental one and is looked upon as altruistic by Democrats whereas “militia” groups are Christian and mainly white. I fear that it is much more than that. I believe they are directly targeting Ron Paul to discredit his Federal Reserve Bill introduced into legislation (HR 1207).

I know that this will sounds like “conspiracy theory Friday” but there are signs that are aligning that bear scrutiny. Russia and China and now the UN have called for a new “global currency” that will replace the US Dollar. Why? It is because the US dollar is gone. The fact that the UN and two quasi-communist countries are calling for this should send shivers down anyone who loves and enjoys our freedom. Once we cede our country to foreign currencies is when we cede our other freedoms that the dollar has ensured.

US Treasure and the Federal Reserve need to be audited to clarify our Gold Reserves. There is ample evidence that our own government has spirited our gold out of the Federal Depositories to hide the impending financial crisis:

http://www.gata.org/files/GATA-AD-01-14-2008.pdf

In congressional testimony, Tim Geithner was asked directly whether or not the Obama administration would cede our dollar to a “global currency” and under testimony he stated “under no circumstances would that occur”.

The very next day Geithner participated in a speaking engagement at “the Council of Foreign Relations” where he told the power brokers that the US is considering it.

Did he lie to Congress or to CFR?

Economic Collapse and Martial Law

The Federal Government through the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA has mechanisms in place to quell civil unrest in the case of a “Presidential Declared Emergency”. It begs the question, if “martial law” is called for, does the President have the backing of the military to quell public dissent?

This author says no. The military is quite detached from their current commander in chief and do not believe that they (either the National Guard or active duty military) would round up their family members and neighbors by disarming or otherwise if they believed it to be a Democrat power grab. This author also believes that the President and his socialist henchmen understand this to be the case which is why they are calling for the funding of a civilian defense force that is greater than the military.

With a huge grassroots groundswell that the MSM is totally ignoring as un-newsworthy the tea parties against the expansion of government and increasing taxes to pay for this unprecedented spending spree (which is larger than every single Presidential administration combined since George Washington) that the socialists have embarked us on. Think about that, if we take the total deficit spending of every single President has contributed to the national debt over our entire history - it does not even match the amount that, in less than 60 days, this President has spent or projects to spend.

It is time for conservatives to hit the Democrats back in the "community activism" arena (which has already begun with the Tea Parties). We need to take the reigns of government away from the socialists who are hell bent on the destruction of capitalism to replace it with socialism.

Raising the ghosts of the past to serve the present












On September 17, 1787 the US Constitution was born after being ratified by 48 men.


On January 9, 2009 the US Constitution is again being called upon to serve this great nation when John Shadegg (R) - AZ sponsored legislation (HR 450) with 15 Republican co-sponsors (John Boozman, Brian Bilbray, Doug Lamborn, Connie Mack, Paul Broun, Peter Hoekstra, Michele Bachmann, Dean Heller, E. Garrett, David Roe, Ronald Paul, Louie Gohmert, K. Michael Conaway, Rob Bishop and Robert Goodlatte).


These great men and women whom we have elected to be our representatives harbor "constitutional spirit" when doing their job as did the 48 that help create and ratify this American treasure we call the US Constitution.


HR 450 simply provides "To require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws, and for other purposes."


This bill should not even been required today except for the fact that most of our elected leaders draft and enact laws without giving the Constitution a single thought. This phenomena was recently proven when the House (without a single Republican voting "aye") and Senate passed the "stimulus plan" without even reading it before voting.


In the time span since the legislation was rammed down our throat surpassing all land speed records in the process, there have been issues raised calling on constitutionality fronts. To make matters worse, when the Democrats were spotlighted for slipping the language that assured that "AIG executives" received $165 in bonuses, they quickly passed another piece of legislation that targeted a narrow group of individuals with the exorbitant taxation to recoup this money. The arrogance of the Democratic law-makers to do as they please without any legal constitutional consideration is in direct contradiction to the "oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution".

Every American should be writing to his or her elected representative to assure that this bill gets out of committee and on to the floor for an up or down vote. Let us see who supports the Constitution or those who will use it as mere toilet paper.

US Taxpayers are paying for Islamic Shariah banking at AIG


Just when we thought we have had enough of the anger provoking actions of the Democratic Leadership when it comes to AIG, we now learn that we (the US Taxpayer) are also funding radical Shariah banking at AIG. I say radical because those who strickly adhere to Shariah law are radical Islamic organizations. Shariah rules govern spiritual matters, but they also mandate the stoning of women, execution of homosexuals, amputations for criminals, female genital mutilation, execution of Muslim apostates, an inferior status for non-Muslims and numerous other violations of Western values and international norms.


When the Democratic House and Senate pushed through the "stimulus bill" without ever reading it (including Barack Hussein Obama) they emperilled our country along many fronts.


To put the stimulus into perspective, the total US Budget for "Homeland Security" (which is supposed to protect us against radical islamic terror) is roughly $50 billion per year. The Stimulus bill is roughly 4 times greater.


In addition to the political malfeasance of the Democratic party in failure to read this bill prior to voting on it, the Democrats also inserted the language that assured the $160 million in executive bonuses that they feigned surprise and disgust over.


When I speak of "malfeasance" I refer to the fact that if the Democrats failed to read and understand what was in this particular bill, then how can they "protect and defend" the constitution adequately? I place the entire failure of this bill squarely on the Democrats because the Republicans (with the exception of 3 Senate Republicans) overwhelmingly voted "no" on this bill (yet the Democrats and Obama exclaimed bi-partisan support)!
The Democrats malfeasance went a step further when they passed yet another bill that targeted a select group of Americans to tax in order to steal the bonuses back (which will fail constitutional muster in court).
I save the worst "Constitutional" issue for last, which is the title of my thread, the Governments endorsement of Isamic Shariah religious practices by AIG. The AIG bailout overwhelmingly places this former private company (who can do what they wish in the way of religious underwriting) in US Federal Government control and ownership.
The Democrats and their radical allies have embarked on a consistent path or drumbeat over the last 40+ years in their quest to stamp out religion (particularly Christianity) from the public through the legal constitutional argument of the "separation of Church and State" yet find ways to alway allow for the intrusion of Islamic faith into our society unchecked and unfettered. The ACLU and the atheists want a cross removed from a hillside in San Diego, yet allow a city in Michigan to blare prayer calls 5 times a day over loudspeakers.
The radical Shariah banking issues is more widespread than just AIG. The following companies also provide this radical banking to Islamic adherents (keeping in mind that these companies are not owned by the US Government as AIG is and are listed as such and are free to do as they wish though some may have also received TARP funds):

There is hope on the horizon that will expose this unconstitutional practice from ever being graced by our taxpayer dollars with the impending lawsuit filed by the "Thomas Moore Law Center": http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92281
The Department of Justice, headed by Eric Holder who is a friend of terrorists everwhere has filed a motion to dismiss the case (surprise, surprise). I will keep you updated as the case progresses.

Don't tread on me


There have been recent controversy for those who display the flag "Don't tread on me" by a recent law enforcement seminar that will give officer's a "guideline" to recognize and identify "militia red flags" of individuals for scrutiny. The report was titled "The Modern Militia Movement Missouri MAIC Strategic Report"
Some of the "identifyers" to be utilized is scrutiny of those who have concern for the following issues of today and indicative of the potential for "militia" activity:
1) Ammunition accountability Act
2) Anticipation of the economic collapse of the US government
3) Possible Constitutional convention
4) North American Union
5) Obama's Universal Service Program
6) Radio Frequency Identification
additionally, if you fit the following ideological profile you will fit these"red flags":
1) Christian identity
2) White Nationalist (characterized as anti-immigration)
3) Sovereign Citizen (characterized as belief that US has shied away from Constitution)
4) Militant Abortion (characterized as anyone who is anti-abortion)
5) Tax resistor
6) Anti-immigration (characterized as anti-illegal immigration)
According to the guidelines in this report, this author is probably on the "red flag" listing.
I am Christian, anti-illegal immigration (for national security reasons as well as "rule of law").
I believe that the US Government has shied away (more like 180 degree turn) from the Constitution.
I am anti-Abortion (because of my Christian faith that believes that humans are created at conception vs. 3rd trimester of pregnancy or "first breath").
I am pro 2nd amendment and anti-ammunition accountability act
I am anti-North American Union
I am anti-Radio Frequency Identification
But the reason for this articl today is to highlight the overt Constitutional infringements that our so-called elected representatives have been guilty of in spite of their "Oaths of Office" to defend the US Constitution. For those who are not familiary with these oaths, I will place them below:
Presidential Oath of Office:

Article Two, Section One, Clause Eight of the United States Constitution: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Senate Oath of Office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Obama Constitutional concerns:
1) In a 2001 radio interview Obama faults the US Constitution as not going far enough to redistribute wealth. He is currently rectifying this perceived injutice by the multitude of mass spending programs.
2) In a 2008 video, Obama supports DC Gun Ban
3) Obama fights all attempts to release his "live birth certificate". On January 20, Obama took his oath of office and pledged to uphold constitution. Therefore, since he is intimately aware of his citizenship (as foreign) then he lied under oath. Of course this will have to wressled out of his hands in order to prove. The current cases that are pending will probably do so sometime in the future.
4) Obama did not read the "porkulous" stimulous bill that he rushed through the House and Senate and therefore is in violation of the US Constitution if there are constitutionally questionable language in it. Likewise the US House and Senate members that voted and failed to read it (as they Demcrats admitted) are also guilty. The biggest question now is have they still failed to read it (post legislation) as there has been ample time to do so since it's passage into law.
5) If Obama signs the retro-active AIG tax takeaway from the executive bonuses he will be doing so with the knowledge that it is unconstitutional to do so, after all he is a Harvard graduated lawyer.
It is no surprise that this country is going down the tubes of tyranny with the complicity of our so-called elected representatives. God help us all

Obama and his incredibly accurate drones - No women or children reported as collateral damage in strikes

The “Main Street Media” has not reported a single civilian death attributed to strikes ordered by the Obama administration in sharp contrast to prior drone attacks carried out by the Bush administration where descriptions of the deaths of women, children and elderly civilians are heaped upon the readers.

Obama administration:

March 13, 2009 – Yahoo news

24 killed - "We have handed over 24 bodies after cleaning and wrapping them in cloth," Saidur Rehman, an official of the local charity Al-Khidmat Foundation, told AFP.Local administration officials also confirmed that 24 bodies were recovered from the rubble having earlier said that 18 dead had been found."

February 16, 2009 – Boston.com

25 killed – ‘The attack was the first in the Kurram tribal region and came two days after a missile strike in the South Waziristan tribal region killed at least 25 mostly Central Asian fighters believed to have al Qaeda links”“Kurram's top administrator, Arshad Majeed Mohmand, confirmed the strike and said according to his information three missiles were fired, but he had no details about the casualties.”

January 23, 2009 – Breitbart news

7 killed – “One drone fired three missiles into the village of Zharki in North Waziristan, hitting two buildings, the intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. At least seven people were killed, but there identities were not immediately known.”

March 14, 2009 – NY Times

31 killed - "Three missiles thought to have been fired from remotely piloted American aircraft struck a Taliban training camp in the Kurram area of northwestern Pakistan late on Thursday and killed 21 militants, according to a local government official and news reports on Friday.Nine other people were wounded in the strike at around 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., directed at a training camp some 20 miles from Parachinar, the capital of the remote tribal area where 31 people were killed in a similar attack on Feb. 16., according to the official, who spoke in return for anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters."

Bush administration:

September 14, 2008 – Breitbart News

10 killed – "Two white drones circled the area for hours ahead of the attack that left 21 people dead, including women and children, residents told AFP. "We recovered 10 bodies. Some were mutilated, some charred. We could not identify if the victims were locals or foreigners. But we could distinguish that children were among the dead," Khan said."

October 2008 – NY Times NY Times

On Oct. 16, "a Predator strike in South Waziristan killed Khalid Habib, a senior Qaeda operative. But the strikes sometimes have unintended consequences. On Sept. 8, one in Miranshah on a compound owned by a Taliban leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, failed to kill him but did kill women and children. On Aug. 27, a Predator strike near the village of Wana missed its target; it is unclear whether civilians were killed.”

It appears that the news agencies cannot find one “eyewitness who is authorized to speak about news on the ground” whereas they had no trouble finding someone to speak about civilian “collateral damage” in the past. Who would of thunk!

Obama appoints another terror sympathisor to DOJ - Tony West (defended "America Taliban Lindh")

Before I get into the Taliban lawyer, I feel compelled to remind the readers that the man that this appointment will report to (US Attorney General Eric Holder) is another terror sympathizer that worked covertly to gain freedom (through Presidential pardons by Bill Clinton) for convicted FALN terrorists as well as 2 Weather Underground terrorist.

He will also report to the Deputy Attorney General (who Obama also appointed to the #2 post at DOJ) David W. Ogden. In case you never heard of the guy, he was the lawyer for the most of the porno peddlers in the US (i.e., Playboy, Penthouse) and has represented the ACLU. In numerous cases where he has filed “briefs” to deny parental notification where minors seek abortions; opposing military opposition to gays and apposed the “children internet protection act as well as the child protection and obscenities act.

You can view Ogden’s litigation history here: Back to West:You remember the news account of an American (John Walker Lindh a.k.a "the American Taliban") that was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan and was involved in the slaying of CIA agent Mike Spann. Tony West was appointed to the "Civil Division" of the US Department of Justice by Obama.

West struck up a friendship with Obama and played basketball with him. West served as Obama’s Northern California “finance co-chair” which raised $65 million dollars for his campaign. The West family has a radical leaning as his wife serves as the Executive Director of the ACLU of Northern California and his Sister-in-law serves as San Francisco’s District Attorney.

Tony West: I understand that perception. John went to Afghanistan long before September 11 ever occurred, and he went for the specific purpose of opposing the Northern Alliance. One of the first things he told Army interrogators when they questioned him on December 3 of last year was that after 9/11 happened, he wanted to leave the front lines but couldn’t for fear of his life. John never wanted to be in a position where he was opposing the United States (and never thought he would be), and in fact he never opposed any American military.

He does understand, however, how people can perceive that he was on the “other side.”Mr. West states that “John never wanted to be in a position where he was opposing the United States (and never thought he would be), and in fact he never opposed any American Military but in a Wikepedia reference, Lindh replied to an email from his father news of the USS Cole bombing that states:

“In 1998 Lindh traveled to Yemen, and stayed for about 10 months to learn Arabic so that he would be able to read the Qur'an in its original language. He returned to the United States in 1999, living with his family for about eight months before returning to Yemen in February 2000, whence he left for Pakistan to study at a madrassa. While abroad, Lindh sent numerous emails to his family. In one, his father tells him about the USS Cole bombing, to which John replies that since the American destroyer was in the Yemen harbor, it was an act of war against Islam and therefore justified. This, his father states, "Raised my concerns", he told Newsweek, "but my days of molding him were over."

Obama has been labeled by many (including myself) as friendly to terrorism. Obama’s friendship with William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn (Weather Underground) is just one example. Here are many others:

Obama signed executive order to close Guantanamo Bay;
Obama halts military tribunals against all Guantanamo prisoners;
Obama intends to open talks with Iran & Syria without pre-conditions;
Obama has set aside $800 million tax payer dollars to rebuild Gaza in a gesture to Hamas;
Obama declares that the term “Enemy Combatant” is no longer in the terminology of the US Government;
Obama attempts to appoint the former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Chas A. Freeman to the National Intelligence Council Chair.

Mr. Freeman has several relationships with Islamic Financial institutions that practice “Sharia finance” and continued to do business with the Bin Laden family after 9/11.

In addition to being an outspoken critic of Israel that borders on anti-Semitism and his love affair with the Communist Chinese that had him acting as their apologists after the Tienneman Square massacre when he indicated that the Chinese showed amazing restraint.

In closing here are a few sentiments that Mr. Freeman had to say taken from a WSJ newspiece by Bret Stephens:

Tienneman Square - "a monument to overly cautious behavior on the part of the leadership."

Saudi Arabia hateful Islamic education system - "It is widely charged in the United States that
Saudi Arabian education teaches hateful and evil things. I do not think this is the case.

War on terror - "We have paid heavily and often in treasure in the past for our unflinching support and unstinting subsidies of Israel's approach to managing its relations with the Arabs," he said in 2006. "Five years ago we began to pay with the blood of our citizens here at home."I can only say that looking at who Obama associates with and appoints to positions within his administration and his actions as President can only make most Middle East Islamic Centers happy that he is acting in their best interest for a change.

Upside down - Obama logic "jump over a quarter to save a dime"

So the Obama administration is angry over the proposed executive bonuses that are reported in the works at AIG. The bonuses totalling $165 million dollars is making the White House and the Treasury Secretary hopping mad. They are calling the company reckless and adverse to our fundamental values as examples of bad business with the "80% taxpayer bail out" company. Our feckless leaders are crying over $165MM but what about the outcry for the $165 billion dollars the government stole from the taxpayers to fund a company that should have been allowed to fail.

What is even more alarming is that $80 billion of the $165 billion was used by AIG to bail out foreign banks! The taxpayers should be hopping mad. The Treasury Secretary; White House and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve had refused to divulge that nugget of info (in spite of the fact that the legislation awarding the money called for full and transparent disclosure - immediately and in regular reporting increments).

So blame the executives for $165 million but not the overseers that hoodwinked us for quite alot more. Can you say tea party!

Americans for the Constitution - Federal infringement and disregard is alarming many in America

Uncle Sam has just learned that he has 18 bastard stepchildren and they are all born from the same mother - the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution.

The children’s names are: Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Indiana, West Virginia, South Dakota, and Idaho

In a nutshell, the 10th Amendment, according to West’s Encyclopia of American Law states:“the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” 10th Amendment

The notorious leader of the children listed above is New Hampshire where, on March 4th held a rally at the New Hampshire State House that called for the support of a Bill (HCR 6) as a result of the Obama “Central government power grab”.New Hampshire men, women and children descended on the House in a peaceful manner to make their voices heard and in some individual instances had done so with pistol’s on their hips (according to a Human Events article titled “New Hampshires 10th Amendment Rally: "Armed but Peaceful"

In rallying their support for the 10th Amendment the crowd did so by exercising their First (Peaceful Assembly) and Second Amendment (Right to Keep and Bear Arms) rights. Democrats voted HCR 6 down on March 4th, 2009 but other States have adopted the language in that failed bill in crafting their own.

In addition to the above States adoption of legislative bills that are meant to fortify States rights through the 10th Amendment there are also a host of “grassroots movements” springing up across the country on numerous constitutional fronts. One of those movements that is gaining momentum is the “Tea Parties” resulting from angry tirade of CNBC host Rick Santelli on February 19th (which is aptly described as the “shout heard across the World”) when he called on Americans to join him in a “Chicago Tea Party”.

Since February 19th hundreds of “tea parties” are being planned from the grass roots up. The latest one took place in Cincinnati Ohio recently and drew an estimated 5,000 people. The “Shout heard across the world” is a play on the words penned by Ralph Waldo Emerson that referred to the battles of Lexington and Concord and read “here once the embattled farmers stood and fired the heard around the world”.

Translation: The determination of the colonists at Concord led to the establishment of a new nation on Earth and encouraged worldwide movements towards democracy.

There are more than 150 tea parties scheduled around the US and if you want to participate in one, here is the list of cities and dates they will occur: Tea Times

There is a real fear that is brewing across America with the election and actions of Barack Obama in his quest to transform America into socialism. This fear can be seen in the explosion of gun sales across America. Gun manufacturers are one American business that does not need a federal bailout. In all fairness to Obama, a lot of fear was coming before he was even a candidate. For instance, the Kelo decision was an impetus for States rights legislation that narrowed the government from exercising “eminent domain” powers to prohibit taking of land from an individual to give to a for profit business to increase taxation (as was the case in the Kelo case).

An interesting study that was published one year after the Kelo case show where special interest group favor Kelo on the one side and individuals seeking to keep private property on the other. An interesting read that can explain the angst caused by the Kelo decision.

The various constitutional infringement fears that Obama is raising in America's conscience is starting to snowball into grassroots efforts that is giving some measure of impowerment to everyday people who are feeling helpless to do anything to stop it. It also reinforces the strength in numbers dynamic that is starting to give Americans some education in what America should look and feel like when it comes to what the founding fathers had in mind when they started this democratic experiment call individual freedom that Ronald Reagan best described as the "shining city on a hill".

The erasing of Terrorism - not by eradication, by changing the defenition

First change was Obama outlawing the term enemy combatant (even though the administration has yet adopted a new nomenclature to describe them). The term was too inflamatory and insensitive to all terrorists and their organizations and to prove it, Obama has given Hamas $800 million dollars to rebuild Gaza as a gesture of friendship.

Now, Homeland Security Secretary (Janet Napolitano) has communicated to the world that we no longer use the phrase "terrorism"! We will instead refer to acts of islamic terror as "man-made disasters"! I kid you not. In a recent interview given to Spiegel Online she explains the administrations view that "it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur".

It is quite worrysome that the former Democratic Governor of the State of Arizona was against building the border fence and was on record with her comment "Show me a 50-foot fence, and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder." The Obama administration is moving as quickly as possible to radically change the dynamics of the war on terror to something akin to a sleep over pillow fight. God help us all.

Citizen Obmama - update

One of the numerous lawsuits filed (by a retired military officer) to compel Obama to produce his live birth certificate was recently dismissed on March 10, 2009 before it even got into the hearing mode. Judge James Robertson went even further than just a mere dismissal, he threatened the Plaintiff's attorney with sanctions for even bringing the matter before the court.

Judge Robertson (A Clinton Appointee) was also one of the first Judges to invalidate the Bush plan for war tribunals when he first considered Hamdan's (Osama Bin Laden driver held at Guantanamo Bay) case in 2004.

There may be a silver lining to this travesty when the Judge threatened the sanctions because it now gives the attorney the right to challenge the dismissed hearing based on the Judges reasoning which opens the door for discovery to refute the Judges assertions. If that occurs, the one piece of discovery that will be sought to dispel the Judge is the "actual Live Birth Certificate of Barack Hussein Obama".

Liberal Judges are no different than their political counterparts, they just do not know when to shut up in making their point. In this instance, that point may now be admissible!

DISPICABLE - Outgoing Secretary of the Navy honors Murtha

As on of his last official duties as the Secretary of the Navy, Donald C. Winter has awarded John Murtha the Department of the Navy ‘Distinguished Public Service Award’!

This award award to Murtha is a dispicable act of cronyism at best and a "political payoff" at worst. First of all let me be as blunt as possible. Murtha, a Marine Corp veteran, sold his soul to the devil when he declared before any evidence was collected, 'There's no question in my mind about what happened here. There was no gunfire, they killed four people in a taxi...24 people were killed.' In addition to this slanderous treachery done to the fighting Marines of our great country, Jack Murtha is not a distinguished individual, but is a crook of the worst kind.

But before I get into the crimes of Murtha (former and present) I want to place into perspective the background of the Secretary of Navy that awarded Murtha this well timed certificate (keeping in mind the recent FBI raids of defense contractors that are tied to Murtha).

Donald C. Winter’s last official day as SECNAV was 3/13/09. Donald C. Winter sat on many of the same defense contractor boards that PMA lobbied for. Is this another case of having the henhouse guarded by the fox, or is it another case of another person whose company benefited from Murtha’s pork so the individual gives him back some credibility by way of the award. It is disgusting and obvious and hopefully it will be seen for what it is – an award that was bought and paid for…..

Mississippi Burning - Cowardly Attorney General needs to practice what he preaches

On February 18, 2009 US Attorney General Eric Holder decided to inform us Americans of our cowardice in all things racial. This lecture also coincided with “black history” month. Some of his words of wisdom were:

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards,”

“Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial.” Holder said that the Department of Justice, in particular, bears a singular responsibility”.

One of the worst cases of racially motivated murder in our country occurred in 1964 and after 4 decades (June 21, 2005) a jury convicted Edgar Ray Killen of three counts of manslaughter in the deaths of those 3 civil rights workers that were trying to register black voters during the "Freedom Summer" of 1964”.

Their deaths were the impetus for Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The murders occurred in Philadelphia, Mississippi which is 50 miles southwest of Noxubee, Mississippi. Note: The movie “Mississippi Burning” was created from the true life case of 1964.

In the same year (February 17, 2005) that Edgar Ray Killen was convicted of the crime that lead to the “Voting Rights Act of 1965” another act of racially motivated voter fraud and intimidation (though not murder) was entered into the US Court system under Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act mentioned above. The US Attorney Generals Office filed http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/voting/sec_2/noxubee_comp.pdf suite against Ike Brown, who is black. The United States brought this suit on behalf of the county’s white voters—the minority in that county—for alleged violations of § 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

In June 2007, Ike Brown was found guilty.

http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/voting/sec_2/noxubee_opinion.pdf

Ike Brown appealed that decision and on 2/27/09 (also during Black History Month) the lower court opinion was confirmed (Ike Brown lost).

http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/briefs/browndecision.pdf

So it has to beg the question, has anyone even heard of Ike Brown or this case? I performed a lexus-nexus search for it on the majority of the Main Stream Media sites and guess what – nada.

Our US Attorney Generals Office website has no mention of the case (except under a very specific search parameter using “Ike Brown”, but again if you never heard of Ike Brown the search would be impossible) but you can find Eric Holder’s speech calling us a nation of cowards on race readily.

You would think that Eric Holder could have taken the time to address this legal victory that the US DOJ achieved in the successful prosecution of a racially motivated voter civil rights case. Was it because the victims were White and did not fit the model of victimology that the MSM and Democratic politicians remind us of?

The fact that this case was brought up on the 1965 civil rights laws that were created due to an injustice that occurred just 50 miles to the North and that the victims this time were white and perpetrated by blacks would have some historical context for a story.
The fact that Ike Brown was also a twice convicted felon and the civil rights violations of those white voters happened to be Democrats has a touch of irony. But hey, democrats eat their young and throw their mothers under buses

Democrat Strategists looking for Republican strategies


Democratic operatives have been spotted looking to the current Republican Leadership for answers deep inside their camp. When confronted the men denied any wrongdoing and simply proclaimed that "we lost our car keys".
Further reports that one of the men spotted here was rushed to the Emergency Room of a nearby hospital when a hospital spokesman indicated that even though he had his head in the job the operative denied that he inhaled.

The paper tigers of America

The lessons of Vietnam, according to the left!

Ever since the counter culture of the early sixties to the present day the Socialist Left of this country has repeatedly denounced US Military intervention. Throughout the history of the US the opposition to conflicts have occurred, but in recent history, as noted above, they have consistently used the war in Vietnam as their personal rallying cry against any form of aggression. They use nomenclature such as “military defeat”; “quagmire”, etc to convince Americans that any form of aggression that utilizes our armed forces will undoubtedly result in a “Vietnam”. They (Left) have been most vocal with the war in Iraq when attempting to debate American policy and that if you have been following the political discussions they have consistently implied that we are in a quagmire, even before the war started. In fact, the election cycles for just about anyone running for office on the left, have tailored their arguments along these lines with the help of the MSM.

For instance:

January 2002 New York Times editorial pages wrote: "Not since America's humiliating withdrawal from Vietnam more than a quarter-century ago has our foreign policy relied so heavily on non-nuclear military force, or the threat of it, to defend American interests around the world."

January 2003 Times editorial pages wrote: the "first lesson of the Vietnam era" was that "Americans should not be sent to die for aims the country only vaguely understands and accepts." The "second lesson of Vietnam" was that the "country should never enter into a conflict without a clear exit strategy."

Note: Obama wants to invade an ally (Pakistan) because they are not doing enough to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden, but nowhere in his tough saber rattling did he even mention how he would exit after he enters.

The war started in March 2003!

The left see Vietnam as a tool for their party as the Democratic Congress of 1975 did when they cut off the funding of support for the Vietnam government. They were successful in stopping a war that they detested and are trying the same tactics of old to compare the current conflict in those terms.

History is rife with events and statistics that show when we fled Vietnam in defeat, the Khmer Rouge entered the vacuum and slaughtered millions that supported the Americans through starvation, execution and forced labor in their quest to impose an extreme form of social engineering on the Cambodians to form agrarian communism where the people were forced to work on state farms and forced labor camps (The killing fields).

When the Democratic Congress cut off funding and we started our retreat, the Ambassador to Cambodia, John Gunther Dean, offered to evacuate the Cambodian Prime Minister Sirik Matak because of his support of our efforts. Matak wrote the following letter to Ambassador Dean turning down his offer of safety:

Dear Excellency and Friend: I thank you very sincerely for your letter and for your offer to transport me towards freedom. I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion. As for you, and in particular for your great country, I never believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people which has chosen liberty. You have refused us your protection, and we can do nothing about it. You leave, and my wish is that you and your country will find happiness under this sky. But, mark it well, that if I shall die here on the spot and in my country that I love, it is no matter, because we all are born and must die. I have only committed this mistake of believing in you [the Americans]. Please accept, Excellency and dear friend, my faithful and friendly sentiments.

S/Sirik Matak

Matak was executed a few days later!

William Kristol (Weekly Standard) expands on this weakness of ours when he refers to a speech Ronald Reagan gave in August 1980 during the Presidential Campaign when he stated:"As the years dragged on, we were told that peace would come if we would simply stop interfering and go home. It is time we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause. .  .  .

There is a lesson for all of us in Vietnam.

If we are forced to fight, we must have the means and determination to prevail."

When Al Quada utilizes the same nomenclature to describe America as a “paper tiger” who will not withstand to rigors of war and have the stomach to see this through as does the Socialist left we should take note. This is why the enemy had endorsed the Left during the election process here. It is why they want a Democrat in the White House, because they are predictably paper tigers.

America's brain trust - not so trustworthy!

Ivy League Colleges are the problem!

Have you noticed that whenever (at least the last 10-20 years) a person is nominated for a position in our government such as Secretary of the Treasury or the Chairman of the Security and Exhange Commission the one thing that is touted is the degree's received from the prestigious Ivy League schools from Oxford, Havard, Yale, etc. How about our Presidents of the United States, at least the last four (including Obama) hail from these same schools. What about the captains of industries such as Chairman/CEO's of the Board of Fannie Mae or the President CEO of Enron or the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.

America is at a crossroads financially. From the Mortgage Crisis to Enron to Corporate scandals, the one constant is that the leaders of these governmental institutions and private company boardrooms is Ivy League Educated men. The most current scandal is Bernard Madoff and the ponzi type scheme that the SEC had multiple warnings and complaints over, yet did nothing to avert. It now appears that Mr. Maddoff's son was given a job at the SEC and may have done well to hide his families dealings from the inside.

Point being, that the ones who are entrusted with overisght of the supports of the American Economy are aiding and abetting the rapid downfall. Not even our elected officials are doing anything but taking more money from them to get elected. If you think I am kidding, just look at the following list to see what I am saying:

Presidents:

George Bush I - Yale Law SchoolWilliam Jefferson Clinton - Yale Law, Oxford
University
George Bush II - Yale Law, HarvardBarak Hussein Obama - Havard Law

US Secretary of the Treasury:
Henry Paulson - Current Secretary - Dartmouth, Havard - Past CEO
Goldman Sachs
Robert Summers - Harvard
Robert Rubin - Havard, Yale - Past CEO of Goldman Sachs
Nicolas Brady - Yale, Havard

Federal Reserve Chairman:
Ben Bernanke - Harvard

Security and Exchange Commission:
Christopher Cox - Havard Business School, Havard Law

William Donaldson - Yale, Havard Business School

New York Stock Exchange:
Richard Grasso, Chairman - Yale School of Management Advisory Board Member

Enron Corp:Jeffrey Skilling, Pres/CEO - Harvard

Fannie Mae:
Franklin D. Raines, Chairman/CEO - Havard, Oxford, Havard Law

JP Morgan Chase: Jamie Dimon, Chairman/Pres/CEO - Havard (Formerly of Citigroup)

We now have witnessed our SEC Chairman come out before the Fannie Mae issue to say that that industry was doing fine and that nothing to be woried about. Henry Paulson then (after the implosion) said that he was wrong. Now he has us embroiled in an $800 billion dollar bailout (after promising complete transparency and oversight) that has turned into over $3 trillion dollar one (and refuses to disclosed who has received the money). The bailout has now gone from the mortgage back industry to the insurance industry and now they are trying to get the US auto makers money. In addition, States are stepping forward to the money trough in hopes they too can get a handout.

We have socialized our businesses and America is going down the tubes. All of this came from our Ivy League educated friends. The one good thing is that as a result of their alumni the colleges are losing billions of dollars on their own bottom lines forcing them to cut back programs internally. These colleges, though once respected as bastions of success are now the harbingers of our doom.

Bridges TV created by Muslim man after 9/11

Station launched in 2004 to help portrait Muslims in a more favorable light!

Muzzammil Hassan, emigrated to the US from Pakistan and felt that we Americans were not being sensitive to Muslims after 9/11.

In an interview (in 2004 after announcing the launching of his TV network - Bridges TV) he, as well as prominate celebrities like Mahammed Ali, indicated that the timing of the network to "educate" Americans to ease racial profiling and hate crimes against Muslims in the wake of 9/11 was long overdue and the ABC News anchor (Michael Herzenberg) that interviewed Mr. Hassan said at the opening of this interview:

"Do you take a second look at Muslims on a plane, on a train or even on the street, and worry about terrorism."

It summed up the kind of focus that Muslims are under. "Hate crimes targeting Muslim Americans are part of a new brand of bigotry surfacing since 9/11," Herzenberg said.

Muhammed Ali stated this to an interview about the necessity of this TV network for Arab Americans:

"I think that the best way to overcome the erroneous image of American Muslims is to let the rest of America get to know us the way they would get to know their next door neighbor, seeing us in natural situations at work and at play.

We think Bridges TV will make this happen," said Muhammad Ali, a keen subscriber So, when the overwhelming majority of the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Muslims from Saudi Arabia after highjacking planes and using them as missiles, is it misguided to harbor some form of fear that the "plane, train or even on the street" has a potential of terror by a muslim?

We Americans are so "misguided" in our fear, according to the article by the largest Middle Eastern English Language Daily, Arab News posted in February 2005.http://www.arabnews.com/?page=21&secti...;m=2&y=2005

So, let us fast forward to yesterday and a rather small reporting of a brutal murder that occurred in Buffalo, NY where a woman (Middle Eastern decent) was found murdered (beheaded) by her Middle Eastern husband. This gruesome murder is thought to have been committed by the husband because the wife had filed for a divorce (and a protective order against her husband for obvious reasons).

Maybe the man was "misguided" about his wife and her intentions? One thing for sure, the murder will not get much play in the MSM as well as Bridges TV because the husband that has been arrested and charged with the murder is none other than the man who founded Bridges TV and was it's current CEO.

Is our misconception at this point unfounded and is it insensitive to say that this Middle Eastern Muslim that chided us "racist Americans" for our profound fear of Muslims justified in dispatching his wife in such a manner? It is, according to most liberals and the MSM as well as radical Islam, acceptable to reconcile the fact that beheadings are just normal forms of expressions ala Daniel Pearle and so many others who have found themselves in close proximity of a Muslim with a knife. We should not be fearful of those who say we must trust this form of expression especially after such a prominate member of the Muslim Community say's he is misunderstood.http://www.buffalonews.com/437/story/578644.html

Radical Islamism, Communism & the American Left

Why can’t you see (what is in front of you)? Why can’t you hear (what is being said) and why can’t you even fight for your survival?Let’s start with seeing and hearing. How many times have you seen the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran step up to a podium and say: That the Holocaust did not happen, that it was a ruse created by Westerners to deprive Arabs of their land. That it is his (Iranian President) belief that “He” is destined to usher in the 12th Imam. That Israel should be and will be “wiped off the map”, and more recently that if Israel attacks Syria, then Iran will inject itself into the equation and warns of serious consequences.

You cannot deny that the President of Iran is on record (Television, Radio, Print) as denying the holocaust, advocating and promising to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and then the fact that the man orchestrating this little dance also believes that he is connected to the 12th Imam and destined to usher in a new world Islamic order after 7 years of pestilence, disease and plagues.

So, you have this man, on record, confessing to the world his beliefs and intentions? Can you honestly deny that even if you discount those personal statements, the news that is quickly unfolding with the 2 front wars in Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories, is consistent with what the Iranians are doing and saying.

For instance, the timing of Hezbollah going into Israel and capturing and spiriting two soldiers back across the border into Lebanon. Syria controls Hezbollah as was witnessed when democracy took the country (northern part of Lebanon) back with an election. Iran making the threat to Israel if they attack Syria. All fingers point to Iran. All of this started the day that the UN gave Iran its deadline for the US proposal on its Nuclear Weapons Programs. Coincidence?

The current headlines today in the Mainstream media are showing that “World Leaders are Divided” on Israel’s overwhelming response to their National Security concerns. Leaders the likes of France stating that “Israel is acting out of proportion to the incident”.

Israel is not stupid and blind to the reality that they take the President of Iran at his word. The eerie similarities between the rhetoric of Iran and that to Adolph Hitler are striking. They (Jews) know what it is like to be persecuted and almost exterminated as a race. They sat helplessly by while the likes of Neville Chamberlain convinced Europe that this “Hitler” guy was OK, that they could appease him. The old axiom that goes like this “those who fail to recognize history are doomed to repeat it”. Well, the Israelis are not going to stand by, this time. In addition to what they have heard and seen (Israelis) they also have a “visceral” feeling that is telling them to be afraid.

I applaud George Bush with having John Bolton veto that ridiculous UN Resolution that criticized the Israeli response. I applaud George Bush for telling the World that Israel has a right to defend herself.

Now let’s talk about Communism. We all know that there are only a handful of communistic states left on the Globe. You have China, Cuba and North Korea. Then you have regimes that are elected that resemble and coddle communism such as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. But the most insidious of the communistic states is Putin of Russia. He (ex-KGB head during communist heyday) has managed to become democratically elected and has since consolidated his power base and has seized the oil riches from a private owner. They are for all intents and purposes communistic by leadership.

In addition to the Middle East you have North Korea who is acting up with its missiles and threats. When you look at the country geographically, you see South Korea (Democratic Capitalistic Society) with North Korea as the only buffer to China’s doorstep. This is why they (Chinese) have to have a communist country in between. China does not want North Korea to resemble South Korea because Democracy would be on their border. For all intents and purposes, Communism is dying as an ideology. Global markets are dominating factors and Democracy is the key to success. This is why you are now seeing the Chinese/Russia alliances. They also keep Cuba and Venezuela at arms length. Capitalism is surrounding these final communistic regimes and they are consolidating ideological power to stave off the inevitable, which is their final demise to expanding globalism. This is why America must have “Israel’s back”. We have just freed the troops up in the South of Iraq and turned over the security to the Iraqi’s. Our military infrastructure is in place, troops in place as well as command and control capabilities. Iran is racing to complete the bomb to use in its apocalyptic dreams and Israel is the target of these goals. Iran has said so. So if we have to go it alone, then we must protect Israel at all cost. We are in a long and protracted fight against Islamic fundamentalist terrorists that are trying to kill us to achieve a new Caliphate. We must find the strength and resources to fight for our very survival. It all begins and ends in Israel.

Why can’t YOU see it?

The commercialization of Defeat

The advertisement of defeat has the monopoly!

I heard it put this way: If the war on terror and the Iraq war were compaired to Coke or Pepsi in a marketing campaign and you told Coke that they could not advertise against their rival in the open marketplace, who would win the battle of soft drink giants? Pepsi of course.

Put the media exposure to the same litmus test and replace the word "coke" with "Victory" and the word "Pepsi" with "Defeat" and the results are the same. Since before the runup to the war on terror and the Iraq war, the media, socialist democrats and some RINO republicans have been monopolizing the airwaves with "Defeat".

The word Victory has been erased. How can we win the war when one side gets the attention and the other - nothing. You can't.Defeatist news out trumps good news. In the media, the socialists and appeasers have made this a one sided argument. No wonder it appears to a vast majority of Americans that we have lost. 3 days into the war we were treated with words like "quagmire" and "impossibility against a dictator". It (the defeatist campaign) accelerated when an election was in progress. This is true because when was the last time in recent months that the MSM placed one of their favorite "troop body counts" up for consumption? No election, no body counts. It is so obvious that it is maddening. We as a nation are in big trouble and need to find our nationalism again and quickly.

Sirhan Sirhan - A friend of Barack Obama

It is truely amazing the poor and nonexistent job that the MSM has done when digging up the association of Barack Obama! I am not speaking of dirt, per se, I am speaking of letting the voting public know who this guy is and what is the deal with who he hangs with (without subjective bias even).

For instance, everyone knows that Rashid Khalidi is a close friend with Barack Obama and in fact wrote a letter to the law school that he subsequently attended (and there is speculation that he helped fund the tuition).

The second thing about Khalidi is that he was a spokeman (no matter how much the MSM denies or downplays it) for the PLO during it's formidable terror years. To be specific, Khalidi and the Obama's have dined together, their children attend the same schools and Obama has lectured at the University of Chicago where khalidi teaches.

In addition, the now infamous LA Times tape that the McCain campaign has been trying to get released to the public shows Obama toasting and boasting about the man who was once the mouth for Arafat.A powerline article has background on Khalidi and had this to report:"FOX News reported that Khalidi wrote an obituary for Salah Khalaf (also known as Abu Iyad) when he died in 1991.

According to the FOX News report, Khalidi praised Khalaf and said he would be "sorely missed by the Palestinian people to whom he devoted his life."Khalaf held many PLO posts. In Inside the PLO Neil Livingstone and David Halevy report that Khalaf was the PLO's spymaster, the leader of its security and covert apparatus and the principal link to so-called rejection front elements like Abu Nidal. He directly oversaw the PLO's internal security including Force 17, the Special Operations Group and the Intelligence and Security Apparatus.Khalaf was also the commander in chief of the terrorist Black September organization. Black September was a PLO front group that answered directly to Yasser Arafat. It is of course best known for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Among its other operations was the 1973 seizure of the Saudi embassy in Khartoum. During the operation the American ambassador to Sudan (Cleo Noel) and his deputy chief of misson (George Curtis Moore) were both brutally murdered on Arafat's orders along with the Belgian diplomat Guy Eid. Khalaf was involved in the planning of the operation and directed the seizure of the embassy.

Before they murdered Noel, Moore and Eid, the Black September terrorists demanded the release of Robert Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan",The article also goes on to say that Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn (the other Hyde Park neighbors) wrote and dedicated their 1974 book "Prarie Fires" to Sirhan Sirhan and other political prisoners.

With the Presidential election behind us and with the help of the MSM (especially the LA Times for not releasing the footage of Barack Obamas presence and toasting of his friend Khalidi) we are about to see how the corrupt Chicago politics first hand.

Keeping in mind that Ted Kennedy endorses the man who is friends with the people that wanted his brothers murderer released and in turn murdered when they did not get their wishes is a scary testiment to how far we have lurched leftward.

In the last couple of Months we have heard from the minnions in the halls of power of the left like Barney Frank say that he wants to reduce military spending by as much as 25% while Obama comes out and says he wants to raise a "civilian national defense force" (reminiscent of Hugo Chavez).

Obama also states that he will scrap the "planned missile defense" shield meant to protect Europe from Irans nuclear missile ambitions while stating he is going to sit down and talk with them.While all of this "Change" is going on, he will be picking the pockets of "Joe the American".

Compulsary Education

Everyone who lives in this great country know very well that education is compulsory. In other words, it is against the law to not attend. Then why are the indicators that tell us how we stack up against other country’s say that we are falling behind. The answer is discipline, or lack of it and enforcement of non-moral ideology! We may have to sit in the seat, but we do not have to learn.

The politically correctness of the Teachers and their unions are amazing. The curriculum today frowns on anything that supports the military or Judeo/Christian nationalism to that of “conflict resolution”. To criticize a student, for not keeping their focus for instance, is seen as an action that can cause trauma to the student’s fragile ego or self-esteem. They are taught that mistakes are OK and they do not have to take personal responsibilities for their own actions. This curriculum of appeasement is like a factory for future anti-war, environmentalist in love with Hollywood. Thank God that he endowed man with free will.

Not all of the students fall for this drivel. They smart ones who go home after school, to stable family surrounding and understand that what they heard early in the day during assembly does not fit with reality around them at home.

The liberals want to throw more money at the problem to fix it. They believe that if they have even more money to fund a condom program, or add more bureaucratic layers to their ranks to brainstorm how to hire seminar speakers like Ward Churchill to bring these views to these children. The teachers unions and the ACLU are consistently challenging any reference to Christianity in the courts yet the ACLU at the same time brought suit against a school district and won the right of a single Islamic student to have a room at school made available for her prayers to mecca. This is tantamount to having the government endorse a specific religion over another, after all the courts are part of the Legislative Branch of the US Government.

The teachers unions were the first to balk at the Presidents plan to “Leave no Child Behind”. They are touting it as too cumbersome and impeded the teacher’s ability to teach. They did not want to have approved lessen plans; take competency tests to prove that they are qualified to be molding these young, impressionable minds.President Bush’s school voucher program aims to change the non-competitive, moral bankrupt, school system and give every parent the choice of what school to send their child to.

Now, the inner-city school that has been plagued with teen pregnancy, gang problems, drug abuse and virtually no discipline to curb it, the burden of having to compete for there existing students and everyone knows that schools depend on their funding “per student”. Which mean that their ideas of how to best teach the child will be in the spotlight and will now have to convince the parent to continue with this model of indoctrination or change the way they have always operated.

The country should rejoice that charter schools have taken hold and that enough time has elapsed to give us some positive data since their inception. These are schools that say the pledge of allegiance everyday and are taught that under god means just that. These are schools that we as kids almost had.

I was in grade school in the 1960’s and fortunately the radical liberals that were protesting the Vietnam war were just that, on the streets vs. teaching positions. It gave me enough exposure to moral behavior and taking responsibility for whether I succeed or fail. I feared my report card every quarter, but not because I was afraid of my ego being bruised or a blow to my self esteem, but because I had to explain to my parents, who understood the necessity of a sound education, why my performance was lacking.

My parents understood the need for their children to have a good load of “extra-curricular” activities (sports, band, choir, clubs, etc) because if their child’s attentions are focused on positive things then they will not be on a street corner getting into trouble.It was exactly this mix of parental influence and personal growth that allowed me to compete in the real world after my compulsory education.The very fear that my parents had, to keep the focus and prevent me from ending on the mean streets, are now being realized because the liberals have managed to bring these mean streets to the classrooms of America.

Islamic Radicals and Nazi's

A side thought on the Mumbai attacks.

The scope of the horror that unfolded in Mumbai by a handful of radical islamic terrorists, 10 to be exact was chilling and sad on many fronts.

The first is the loss of innocent life at the hands of evil. Second is that the 10 inhuman terrorists were able to prolong this horror because of the failure of the Indian Police to have had a comprehensive anti-terror unit or even have its courts or constitution strengthened to fight against it.

India has had a long and bloody history of islamic terror with its dispute over Kashmir. The country has a large section of the populace that is Muslim. The largest section of the populace is Hindu and there is even a fairly large Christian population (700,000) that live and co-exist within the city. In this horrible and senseless attack at the hands of only 10 they (terrorists) were spread over many targets that included the luxury hotels, cafe, train station and the mostly underreported target of all, the Chabad house.

The Chabad house is the only Synagogue in the city that is the place of worship for Jews in a city that highly outnumbers them. There is limited speculation as to why the Jews were targeted, but we are all well aware that Islamist hate Jews.

Radical Islamic states like Iran, Syria and elsewhere have portraited the Jewish state as their main rally cry because of the oppression of Palestinians at the hands of the JEWS. This is why the Western Press eats this up, they are sympathic to the Islamic cause and spin this terror as just and moral equivilent to the oppression. This is why the Chabad house killings received little or no press coverage.

More over at the same time that the attacks were being carried out in the name of Islam, the UN was busy passing numerous anti-Isreal declarations and comdenations against Isreal that that body has done for many years now.

The anti-zionism at the UN is and always has been - rampant.I read an intesting article that compares WWII Nazi Germany and their obsession with the eradication of every single Jew that they could find in every single country that they took by force. The German Government had expended a vast amount of war materials and personnel and money to carry out this "side program" during actual battlefield clashes across Europe. Why would Germany, who had the world in their faces on the battlefield divert such an enormous amount of their resources for killing Jews? It made no logical sense because in the end, Germany lost the war. If they had utilized the resource that were used against the jews - every soldier, tank, railway, gasoline or anything else that could be labelled as war materials then could they have suceeded in pushing back the allies? It was the absolute hatred of the Jews, the absolute obsession with their eradication that made no sense in such a large expenditure of resources even to the end.This brings us to the 10 terrorists.

Out of the 10 terrorist in that extremely large city - an extreme amount of their resources went into killing Jews in the only place of worship in the entire city. Though the terrorist that attacked the Chabad house was only 2, it was roughly 25% of the total resources utilized to carry out the attack. It is obvious that the aim of the attacks on Mumbai was to hit India's "wall street" like the Islamics did to Manhattan. This was to weaken the country finances and resolve to further skirmishs with Kashmir. But in the fanancial scheme of things the Jewish Chabad house was nothing in that financial equation. No it was attacked out of pure hatred and the need to exterminate that race of people they hate. Just as Nazi Germany expended so much to their conquest of hate, so too are the Islamists.

Islamofacist love affair

Jimmy Carter loves them so!

Jimmy Carter, the failed Democratic President of the late 1970's is at it again with his fawning support of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria or anything islamic. In a op-ed in the Washington Post, he really out does himself with saying the war in Gaza is unnecessary.

In addition to his brazen and narcissistic point he makes that all Isreal had to do was to wait for him and his team to negotiate, the war could have bee avoided. Thus it is unnecessary.

The line I found most reprehensible and telling was this:"And this fragile truce was partially broken on Nov. 4, when Israel launched an attack in Gaza to destroy a defensive tunnel being dug by Hamas inside the wall that encloses Gaza."Defensive tunnel? Carter has totally lost it. A defensive tunnel. If Carter needs to know what is truely defensive he needs to look no further than Israel and the "bomb shelters for their population", or the "safe rooms" in each household or the staggering of school times and routes. If Hamas was at all defensive towards protecting their innocents then where are their bomb shelters (they are filled with arms and bombs if they did exist at all). Before Israel attacks (out of self defense from provocation) they drop leaflets on the opposing population warning them to stay away from Hamas or their whereabouts to protect them. Isreal protects Palestinians more than Hamas does.

The destruction of American Democracy

ACORN plan to overwhelm is working

In 1966 Barack Obama was 5 years old! By that standard, he is exempt from scrutiny as he used this excuse when it came to his association with the terrorist Bill Ayers. In 1966 a grassroots organization was born and it was called the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) by George Alvin Wiley under the influence of two Columbia University Professors, Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward.

http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/wiley-george-alvin-1931-1973

The charter of this organization was to “promote racial justice by providing economic opportunities for the poor”. In layman terms it was designed to destroy the social safety net called welfare. The influence of Piven and Cloward is the adoption of their model called the “Cloward/Piven” strategy.

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967

The inspiration was drawn from the 1965 Watts riots and the belief that providing a safety net (welfare) kept the poor and minorities downtrodden. By destroying the ruling class strategy of welfare, they would be able to lift up minorities from a cycle of handouts thus enabling them to succeed.

The strategy was to overwhelm the welfare roles and bring down capitalism by the shear weight of the implosion and the economic chaos that would ensue. The real goal was not to help minorities, but to bring down capitalism and America with it.

Cited from the above article:

In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands. The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.

Their article called for "cadres of aggressive organizers" to use "demonstrations to create a climate of militancy." Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a guaranteed living income for all -- working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act. This was an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse movements -- mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. The flood of demands was calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown -- providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change.

Cloward and Piven recruited a militant black organizer named George Wiley to lead their new movement. In the summer of 1967, Wiley founded the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO). His tactics closely followed the recommendations set out in Cloward and Piven's article. His followers invaded welfare offices across the United States -- often violently -- bullying social workers and loudly demanding every penny to which the law "entitled" them. By 1969, NWRO claimed a dues-paying membership of 22,500 families, with 523 chapters across the nation.Regarding Wiley's tactics, The New York Times commented on September 27, 1970, "There have been sit-ins in legislative chambers, including a United States Senate committee hearing, mass demonstrations of several thousand welfare recipients, school boycotts, picket lines, mounted police, tear gas, arrests - and, on occasion, rock-throwing, smashed glass doors, overturned desks, scattered papers and ripped-out phones."These methods proved effective. "The flooding succeeded beyond Wiley's wildest dreams," writes Sol Stern in the City Journal. "From 1965 to 1974, the number of single-parent households on welfare soared from 4.3 million to 10.8 million, despite mostly flush economic times. By the early 1970s, one person was on the welfare rolls in New York City for every two working in the city's private economy."As a direct result of its massive welfare spending, New York City was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1975. The entire state of New York nearly went down with it. The Cloward-Piven strategy had proved its effectiveness.

Today we are now witnessing the same strategy (Cloward-Piven) being utilized by an offshoot of the original NWRO, ACORN. You remember them, especially on two fronts. First, is the militant tactics they employed to bring about the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac meltdown and the banking industry today. By overwhelming the welfare roles of housing in these industries, it collapsed under the strategy. It worked! Just read ACORN website to verify that they are indeed using this method. ACORN first started in Arkansas as the acronym was Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now.

http://acorn.org/index.php?id=2757

Second, but most importantly is ACORNs role in voter registration fraud. They are overwhelming the voter roles with fraudulent voter registrations and it is beginning to crack under the pressure. The true damage will come when, after the election the inevitable lawsuits that are going to be filed because of the controversy. The State of Ohio (A swing state) is already being challenged to react to the shear number of registrations and the obligation the election department has to qualify them.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/15/ohio.voters/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

Obama and his close ties to ACORN, regardless of his insisting otherwise, is telling.

http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/7231

The massive infusion of fraudulent voters comes with the belief that if Obama does not win the electoral votes, but wins by popular vote, it will be chaotic. Charges of racism, election steeling and collusion will be a main staple of the left to foment violence.

This organization needs to be shut down and quickly! It has already done serious damage to our economy in mortgage and banking sectors and is succeeding in destroying America democracy at the ballot box. If they succeed in undermining our basis tenant of voting, we are lost and as usual, Obama is in it up to his big ears.

Why Obama cannot escape Blogojevich controversy

Just look at his inner circle

I will begin this op-ed by reminding the readers that all of the “players” in this unfolding drama are Ivy League educated men and women. Most have attended and graduated from law school. They are politicians and captains of industry who have attained their current positions in life because they are among the brightest and smartest individuals that our universities produced. When Obama, Axelrod, Emanuel, Blagoyevich and Valerie Jarrett make comments to the press and feign ignorance and bewilderment in a vain attempt to convince us the ordinary folks that they are clean as the driven snow is insulting.

When the embarrassing conviction of longtime friend Anthony (Tony) Rezko in June 2008 forced a campaigning Barack Obama to admit that “it was a pretty bone headed thing to do” when explaining the sweetheart real estate deal he transacted with Rezko on his Hyde Park home.

It can be safely said that Obama and Rezko’s friendship was extensive enough to call into question Obama’s judgment for doing the deal with someone who, at the time, was under indictment for corruption. Obama was well aware of this when he entered into the deal. It can also be said that the friendship was a cozy one between the Rezko’s and the Obama’s as they broke bread together at each others homes.

Prosecutors accused Rezko of misusing his influence with Blagojevich to corrupt two state boards, one that handled a $40 billion pension fund for most Illinois teachers and the other that vetted hospital projects.

Former state official Ali Ata told jurors he bought his post with bribes to Rezko and campaign contributions to Blagojevich. Ata was also one of several witnesses who said Rezko told them of a plot to kill the criminal probe against him by pulling strings with the Bush administration to get Fitzgerald fired.

On June 30, 2003, Ali Ata donated $5,000 to the Senate Campaign of Barack Obama. When this contribution came to light after Ata’s indictment Obama donated that contribution to charity. Likewise, Rezko and his wife personally donated $11,500 to the Obama Senate campaign and again after Rezko was indicted Obama donated the money to the Better Boys Foundation in Chicago.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2007-06-01-557469390_x.htm

The Chicago way of politics is to take tainted money and if caught donate it to a charitable foundation – problem solved. Thing is, if the money is tainted and not good enough to utilize for the campaign, what makes the money any more untainted to go to a charity. Tainted money is still tainted money. But divert the attention by looking like you are a “charitable guy”.

Recap 1: Obama is friendly with Rezko. Rezko works for Governor Blagoyevich. Rezko is also friends with Ali Ata from whom he bought his political seat and donates money to Obama. Obama buy’s home with Rezko help. Obama served as Blagoyevich’s top advisor in his first run to the statehouse and endorsed him personally in the Governors’ 2002 and 2006 campaigns.

Obama’s relationship with the Governor is best summed up in this interview:
On the Chicago TV show “Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz” on June 27, 2002, state Sen. Obama said, “Right now, my main focus is to make sure that we elect Rod Blagojevich as Governor, we…”
“You working hard for Rod?” interrupted Berkowitz.
“You betcha,” said Obama.
“Hot Rod?” asked the host.
“That’s exactly right,” Obama said.
When Rezko was convicted in June 08 he was scheduled to be sentenced in Oct 08. Then when October came around, the prosecutor (Fitzgerald) and the Judge entered into an agreement that will delay the sentencing until after the elections in November. Speculation was that Rezko was singing like a canary to curry favor for a reduced sentence. Speculation had Rezko giving up his boss (Blagoyevich) and possibly Obama.

The FBI had already opened an investigation into the land deal between Obama and Rezko and had issued subpoenas to the mortgage company that brokered the deal.

When Blagoyevich was arrested it came as a surprise that it was on charges unrelated to the Rezko dealings. Blagoyevich was aware he was under investigation and being wiretapped, but tried to sell Obama’s Senate seat anyway, through a myriad of phone calls, emails and meetings, all of which were being listened in on by Fitzgerald.

The Rezko land deal with Obama quickly faded into the background as this new revelation came to light. Now Obama had to go into damage control mode over a few items that were in the indictment. Though the land deal quickly evaporated from the press it still looms largely as a potential liability to Obama.

The recent indictment listed Senate Candidate 1, which turned out to be Valerie Jarrett who is a long time friend of the Obama’s and was interested in occupying his vacant Senate Seat.

“When it came time for Obama's US Senate campaign, Valerie Jarrett became the campaign finance chairman and worked hand and hand with fellow finance committee members, Rita and Tony Rezko, and his former boss at the law firm, Allison Davis, in fundraising endeavors. The committee raised more than $14 million, according to Federal Election Commission records, Tim Novak reported in the Sun-Times on April 23, 2007.”

David Axelrod – Obama transition team member & Spokesman
When Obama first came out with a press conference after Blogojevich was arrested for the attempted selling of his vacant seat, he stated:
“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”
Then later in the morning the Press divulged that David Axelrod held a press conference two weeks prior to the arrest said this on a Fox News Chicago interview:
“I know he’s talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.”
Then later the same day an Obama aid issued this statement:
“What the president-elect said today is correct, David Axelrod misspoke,” the aide said.
Then Axelrod says the same in a statement later in the day:
“I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.”
Remember my introduction to this op-ed, I said that the players were well educated, well this may be in contradiction to that belief. This is another obvious attempt at damage control over the Senate Seat discussions between Obama camp and Blagojevich.
Axelrod had worked for Blagojevich in his past races for the House, but he declined to work on his gubernatorial run.
David Axelrod said this in a 2002 New Yorker interview:
“He had been my client and I had a very good relationship with him, but I didn’t sign on to the governor’s race. Obviously he won, but I had concerns about it…I was concerned about whether he was ready for that. Not so much for the race but for governing. I was concerned about some of the folks — I was concerned about how the race was being approached.”
The above comment of Axelrod allows for us to look into how he saw the potential Governor of yesterday and place it in context of today. If he was concerned about “some of the folks” that surrounded the Governor back then, it is safe to assume that he was aware of the types of people and their character when thinking of his dealings with him over the Senate Seat. A leopard doesn’t change his spots.

Rahm Emanuel – Obama Transition team and future “Chief of Staff”

The silence of this man currently is deafening. He is as far away from cameras as he could be.

The indictment also listed Advisor 1, which turned out to be Rahm Emanuel, who was in direct contact with Blagoyevich to discuss and pass along names that Obama wished to see as potential candidates for the open seat.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-rahm-obama13dec13,0,3359611.story

Recap 2: Valerie Jarret has close and intimate ties with Tony Rezko who was a close confidant and “bag man” for the Governor. David Axelrod is aware of the character of the Governor since at least 2002 when he decided not to work on his campaign, but saw fit to allow Rahm Emanuel to engage in discussions surrounding Obama’s Senate Seat vacancy. Rahm Emanuel represents the 5th Congressional District in Illinois and that seat was discussed in the indictment. Emanuel is also mentioned in the indictment as President Elect Advisor 1. Emanuel was elected to congress in the seat that was vacated by Blagojevich when he became Governor.

So with all of the extensive intertwining relationships between all of the players who were mentioned in the recent indictment it will be interesting to see what stories the Obama team will again concoct to try to distance themselves from the Senate Seat criminal issue facing the Governor. It will be unsuccessful because of the history between all of these corrupt players.

One thing for sure, when Rezko was convicted it set into motion a force that I believe will bring down Obama and his corrupt circle of friends, maybe not before he takes office but surely during. Rezko gave up Blagoyevich and thus Blagoyevich will give up Obama. It is the nature of deal making between criminals that don’t want to spend more time behind bars if they have something to offer. All roads or offers lead to the President, and he knows it.
