The polls have been clear for quite some time: By a substantial margin, Americans oppose the efforts of Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats to enact a massive overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, one that would greatly expand the federal government’s role.

I’ll be quite frank. I’m never completely comfortable in discussing certain persons, such as Fidel Castro, on the phone, nor forwarding e-mail content concerning them, such as his Visiones Alternativas – Reflections of Fidel: The moment of truth about the recent Copenhagen events.
-
Certainly, it would be so much easier to simply avoid certain topics altogether in communications because there so often are direct or indirect repercussions for involvements in particular matters, as is inferred at Ex-Snoop Confirms Echelon Network – 60 Minutes – CBS News:
-
“Everywhere in the world, every day, people’s phone calls, emails and faxes are monitored by Echelon, a secret government surveillance network. No, it’s not fiction straight out of George Orwell’s 1984. It’s reality…”
-
We learn more fully about this spy activity from a Transcript of 60 Minutes on Echelon:
-
Is it possible for people like you and I, innocent civilians, to be targeted by Echelon?
-
“KROFT: …
-
Not only possible, not only probable, but factual.
-
While I was at CSE, a classic example: A lady had been to a school play the night before, and her son was in the school play and she thought he did a–a lousy job. Next morning, she was talking on the telephone to her friend, and she said to her friend something like this, ‘Oh, Danny really bombed last night,’ just like that. The computer spit that conversation out. The analyst that was looking at it was not too sure about what the conversation w–was referring to, so erring on the side of caution, he listed that lady and her phone number in the database as a possible terrorist.
-
“Mr. FROST:

“KROFT:
-
This is not urban legend you’re talking about. This actually happened?
-
“Mr. FROST:

Factual. Absolutely fact. No legend here.
-
“KROFT: (Voiceover)
-
Back in the 1970s, the NSA was caught red-handed spying on anti-war protesters like Jane Fonda and Dr. Benjamin Spock, and it turns out they had been recording the conversations of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King in the 1960s. When Congress found out, it drafted strict, new laws prohibiting the NSA from spying on Americans, but today, there’s enough renewed concern about potential abuses that Congress is revisiting the issue.
-
“Representative BOB BARR (Republican, Georgia): (From C-SPAN) One such project known as Project Echelon engages in the interception of literally millions of communications involving United States citizens.
“(Footage of Barr; NSA sign; Goss and Kroft)
-
But even members of Congress have trouble getting information about Echelon. Last year, the NSA refused to provide internal memoranda on the program to Porter Goss, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee…”
-
Meanwhile, my mother, who died last month, knew of the prospective backlash for stating certain taboo words of the sort that Danny’s relative, who was discussed above, had used. She, also, knew of outcomes for being outspoken or involved in social activism. So she repeatedly asked me, during her last several years, about whether I was making sure that I was being sufficiently self-protective when passing along information on the internet or phone.
-
As a former friend of left-leaning individuals like Howard Fast, Andy Goodman and other remarkable martyrs, she knew well about the tragic consequences stemming from one’s bucking the status quo. In addition, she, over the years, became increasingly worried for others’ well-being when they did so because it was her opinion that the U.S.A. was likely turning into a fascist police state.
-
She had further reasons to be apprehensive since she well remembered the U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy and had refused to sign loyalty papers while serving as a junior high school teacher during the Second Red Scare.
-
Similarly, she realized that huge amounts of funds were currently being transferred by the federal government to internet service providers and telecommunications companies in exchange for records of their customers, as is discussed in The Secret State’s Surveillance Machine. Further, she was aware that such collected information is stored in perpetuity to build profiles, as can be deduced from the report at FISA – Salon.com:
-
“This summer, on a remote stretch of desert in central Utah, the National Security Agency will begin work on a massive, 1 million-square-foot data warehouse. Costing more than $1.5 billion, the highly secret facility is designed to house upward of trillions of intercepted phone calls, e-mail messages, Internet searches and other communications intercepted by the agency as part of its expansive eavesdropping operations. The NSA is also completing work on another data warehouse, this one in San Antonio, Texas, which will be nearly the size of the Alamodome.”
-
At the same time, she knew about many of the actions undertaken against peaceful individuals and groups, and remembered the march in NY discussed in my essay “Who’s A Low Level Terrorist? Are You?”:
-
“… Indeed the participants of the first antiwar protest against the Vietnam incursion, put together in the mid-1960’s by peaceable Quakers and FOR members after having discussed Gandhi’s Salt March as a model for a nonviolent demonstration, faced government operatives filming them face by face from rooftops as they moved en masse down Broadway to the UN Plaza. (My mother, a pacifist married to a World War II Conscientious Objector, and I, a child at the time of the march, both were in attendance. When the film crew focused on us, she stood tall, faced the agents with their telephoto lens, glared in disdainful defiance and, simultaneously, throw the corner of her coat over my face. Afterwards, she muttered, ‘How dare they try to intimidate us!’)”
-
All things considered, she understood perfectly well the reason that members of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) would attack an oil pipeline operated by international oil giants Shell and Chevron. Yet she, also, recognized that, incredibly, someone in the USA does NOT have to carry out any attacks whatsoever to be a target of one.
-
As such, she wasn’t surprised one bit that Bette Hoover, the sixty-one year old Clerk (religious leader) of a Quaker Meeting that one of our relatives attends, was in trouble with law enforcement agencies, as THE ENEMY WITHIN - Victims of Md. State Police spying still uneasy explains.
-
It’s simply par for the course and, on account, it was equally hard for her to be astonished that members of American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), recipient of the 1947 Nobel Peace award, were harassed, as well as investigated by eleven federal agencies, including the FBI and the CIA.
-
In fact, any individuals or groups at all could have a serious problem if they somehow managed to upset members of particular federal or State agencies tasked with maintaining the social structure going forward exactly as planned.
-
No one is to disrupt that process and certainly not peace advocates or picayune troublemakers pointing out an inflammatory report discussing the United States’s agenda by a despised rebel named Fidel Castro.
-
So it is with reluctance that I passed along the text of his evaluation to friends even though my mother asked me, on her deathbed, to promise that I would continue to work very, very hard to ensure that the Earth in the future would be a fit place for habitation by humans and other forms of life. While envisioning the world carrying onward without her, she was less concerned about her personal existence ending than furtherance of the underlying purposes to which she had dedicated her time while alive.

If people are really concerned about the impending fascist police state in the USA, they won’t do the estotertic capitalization of the word “earth.’ They won’t be concerned about problems, issues, and “the planet.” They will be concerned about the sovereighty of the USA and the sovereignty of every nation state on earth. They will care about getting back to the U.S. Constitution and an honest money system.
-
As for the Quakers, they are responsible, in Texas anyway, of promoting the illegal immigration of people from south of the border into Texas. They are totally supportive of massive illegal immigrants taking over Texas.
Let’s liberate the humans and do everything to promote and support the dignity and value of every individual human being ont his earth and let’s stop calling them “human animals.”
Out congress members, our presidents, our left wing and our right wing activists are all owned by Rockefeller and like internationalist globalists.
-
If I am going to rebel and revolt, it will be for my people and my country and my Consitution, not for some collectivist utopian one worlder dream.
-
One world government is by its very nature a death and slavery system. It could be nothing else.

The original Thomas Paine said some good things about freedom, but he really did not believe in the dignity and value of the intividual and he did not value the values of the USA, liberty and just for all under God.

The person who wrote this article is a coward. Afraid? YOU are in the majority and hunkering down like a coward. It is people like you that said nothing when the American Government orchestrated 9/11 and blamed it on Muslims. When they used that as a lever to launch an illegal war of aggression to steal the oil resources of a foreign country you probably waved a tiny flag.

Now troops are in Afghanistan securing the opium fields so the CIA can import cheap heroin.

Pull your head out of your ass and be not afraid to speak your mind about the criminals. So what if some ass is listening, their heads roll just as easily when the people move. The American Government declared war upon its own people when it killed close to 3,000 people with their controlled demolition job. Get some backbone and say what needs to be said.

December 26th, 2009 at 5:48 pmIt would not surprise me to read that Obumer has allowed Satan to set-up a branch office of Hell in DC. It will house the FED and 100 printing presses. The presses will print NWO toilet paper (our dollars) and laws passed restricting us to be controlled in every aspect of our lives including their new religion, Worship of Satan at gunpoint. The Bushes will have offices and dungeons in the basement. Abortion and Euthanasia will be performed as sacrifices to the tennants hourly. The Constitution will be shredded on TV. All power and travel will halted while Chinese and Israel’s mercenaries along with Canadians and Mexico’s soldiers plan destruction of all standing structures not needed for military use. Change that will eliminate us is revealed.

December 25th, 2009 at 9:20 amThere is also the issue of reciprocity. The US has been demanding access to the private information of all EU nationals under Dubya Bush and got it. Now Europe, through Interpol will have access to all US citizen’s privileged information.
We got this through forcing cooperation because of US economic difficulties. You shall reap what you sow.

Becca Reply:
December 26th, 2009 at 1:47 amExactly, it’s the internationalization of the West’s police agencies; global KGB. However, I don’t think it’s so much reciprocity as it’s more just according to plan.

The evidence is clear. Obama is a TRAITOR, congress is debauched therefore we, will have to do it. Remember the words of your constitution, “Protect the nation from all enemies, whether FOREIGN or DOMESTIC”. They can sign into law whatever they want but they are still CRIMINALS. They MUST BE DEALT with accordingly. Don’t let the suit, position or badge swade you from what they are and that is, CRIMINAL THUGS of a HOSTILE FOREIGN CORPORATE TAKEOVER Group.

So, basically obama has invited foreign troops into America to wage war against the citizens and has granted them immunity to do so – TREASONOUS! Let this serve as a notice to those occupying forces – we are armed – HEAVILY – and we will not hesitate to put you 6 feet under in a heartbeat if it becomes warranted. You are here as GUESTS because we, the American citizenry, allow you to be here as guests. Do NOT wear out your welcome or you may find yourselves traveling home by way of freezer sealed in a zip lock. In the meantime, we’ll deal with our treasonous politicians who have become traitors of the Republic!

One month ago, the World Court heard a complaint from China for the return of 10,000 tons of gold that she lent the US to become Basel 2 compliant. The US did a double take because it would have meant that all financial transactions would have to show a paper trail of where the funds came from. With so much drug money in US banks and official government accounts, the US chose to keep the Federal Reserve going and to sit on the Chinese gold which is stored in a Swiss bank.
The World Court gave China the right to cease US assets worldwide to make up the loss and 7 plane loads of armed agents plus the World court judges who came over from Europe to the US to swear in the agents on US soil, which is according to international law. Three days before the World Court heard China’s case, the US put her military on full alert to give notice to the Chinese not to cease US assets, be it aircraft, planes or businesses worldwide.
MI6 is in on the action too. The British also lost $6 Trillion in a bad loan to the US and Paulson is now having a lovely vacation in Bermuda complements of the Crown. The US won’t repay the funds simply because the government is flat broke. The only way to do it now is with monitized funds.

Wow! things are looking up with the ever expansion of police state thought control, and oppressive authorities. It’s nice to learn that Uncle Sam wants to watch over his childfren, whereas, simple-minded babes can latch onto a nipple and reversively gulp down their own predigested taxes. It reminds one of biblical implication several thousands years past: At times, specific individuals are compared to dogs, of which will turn and drink their own vomit. End quote. Everdently, good old Uncled Sam is still on the threshing floor, of political whoredom. But actually, our grand old Republic should feed its sheep, not fleece them.
Gosh, we are to become better than most Third World banana republics, wherein one International Monetary Fund dictator is installed, perpetually beating farm land serfdoms over their heads, with Wall Street investor’s club of interesst bearing slave monies. Better days are ahead. We have been warned of expanding troop garrisons being quartered through out the states. What makes it more out standing will be the multiplication of National Guard troops, and the ever expanding clout of FEMA and SWAT thugs.
Less we for get, this ever expanding police state with its fifty-state entities, have become one togatherness enployment agency. Collectively, most drifters from share cropping fields are handicapped to find any productive city labor. Actually, most cities across America are reverting to tourist traps. The only jobs to be found are hamburger slinging, window washing,
dish washing, janitoring, cab drivers, drug pushing, robbing parking meters, bag men for lawyers, street sweepers for cities, dive bombers at picking up trash. Farm hands are used to sleeping in a bed of hay in hard times, not loafing city streets, while sleeping under over passes. Suming things up, fire departments and police departments are the final choice. The late Oliver Windell Holms of the United States: ” Tourist are no more, or no less, than universal tramps”. From the farm to the city is a master elevation for the thousands of ROE HOES across our country.Uncle Sam has a job on his hands with the policed state, in caring for the thousands of speed ttraps across America. Unfortunately, many a dust-buster has been pulled over for looking stupid,given a ticket and facing a quart-a-day judge. Here the local pro-gangster bail bonds man move in. The poor dust buster is fined three-hundred dollars for running a ten mile limit past a roadside clip joint. These rockets dockets are not the targets of FEMA and SWAT.
If the truth is to be known, it is the upper class of citizens of whom welcome the police state. They fear of loosing their property gains. And then there is a class in the lawyer’s field, mode, known as professional shysters, this crowd needs a police state to cover their dirty work in ripping off helpless inarticulte mobs across the state. Take a look at these scoundrels, Washinton D.C. is a watering hole for this element that has been aborted in hell, to arise from the lowest depth of corn fields in looting citizens legally. Ancient philosophers declared that lawyers were a plague to society.
In essence, the police state is to front for commercial interests untill Red Russsia is called forth through the instigation of The Unted Nations Organization. Several lawyers, spies, friends of Harry Truman, had their legal implicatiions documented into this organization’s mandated doctrine. The approaching steel-helmeted, club swinging, skull busting thugs has come to pass. God help us. Bolshevism has crept into national political whoredom whileCongress was asleep!

Preparing for Civil Unrest in America
Legislation to Establish Internment Camps on US Military Basesby Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, March 18, 2009
Email this article to a friend
Print this articleThe Economic and Social Crisis
The financial meltdown has unleashed a latent and emergent social crisis across the United States.
What is at stake is the fraudulent confiscation of lifelong savings and pension funds, the appropriation of tax revenues to finance the trillion dollar “bank bailouts”, which ultimately serve to line the pockets of the richest people in America.
This economic crisis is in large part the result of financial manipulation and outright fraud to the detriment of entire populations, leading to a renewed wave of corporate bankruptcies, mass unemployment and poverty.
The criminalization of the global financial system, characterized by a “Shadow Banking” network has resulted in the centralization of bank power and an unprecedented concentration of private wealth.
-
Obama’s “economic stimulus” package and budget proposals contribute to a further process of concentration and centralization of bank power, the cumulative effects of which will eventually resul in large scale corporate, bankruptcies, a new wave of foreclosures not to mention fiscal collapse and the downfall of State social programs. (For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, America’s Fiscal Collapse, Global Research, March 2, 2009).
The cumulative decline of real economic activity backlashes on employment and wages, which in turn leads to a collapse in purchaisng power. The proposed “solution” under the Obama administration contributes to exacerbating rather than alleviating social inequalities and the process of wealth concentration.
The Protest Movement
When people across America, whose lives have been shattered and destroyed, come to realize the true face of the global “free market” system, the legitimacy of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the US administration will be challenged.
A latent protest movement directed against the seat of economic and political power is unfolding.
How this process will occur is hard to predict. All sectors of American society are potentially affected: wage earners, small, medium and even large businesses, farmers, professionals, federal, State and municipal employees, students, teachers, health workers, and unemployed. Protests will initially emerge from these various sectors. There is, however, at this stage, no organized national resistance movement directed against the administration’s economic and financial agenda.
Obama’s populist rhetoric conceals the true nature of macro-economic policy. Acting on behalf of Wall Street, the administration’s economic package, which includes close to a trillion dollar “aid” package for the financial services industry, coupled with massive austerity measures, contributes to precipitating America into a bottomless crisis.

“Orwellian Solution” to the Great Depression: Curbing Civil Unrest
At this particular juncture, there is no economic recovery program in sight. The Washington-Wall Street consensus prevails. There are no policies, no alternatives formulated from within the political and economic system. .
What is the way out? How will the US government face an impending social catastrophe?
The solution is to curb social unrest. The chosen avenue, inherited from the outgoing Bush administration is the reinforcement of the Homeland Security apparatus and the militarization of civilian State institutions.
The outgoing administration has laid the groundwork. Various pieces of “anti-terrorist” legislation (including the Patriot Acts) and presidential directives have been put in place since 2001, largely using the pretext of the “Global War on Terrorism.”
Homeland Security’s Internment Camps
Directly related to the issue of curbing social unrest, cohesive system of detention camps is also envisaged, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.
A bill entitled the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act (HR 645) was introduced in the US Congress in January. It calls for the establishment of six national emergency centers in major regions in the US to be located on existing military installations. http://www.govtrack.us/congres.....l=h111-645
-
The stated purpose of the “national emergency centers” is to provide “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster.” In actuality, what we are dealing with are FEMA internment camps. HR 645 states that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.”
There has been virtually no press coverage of HR 645.
These “civilian facilities” on US military bases are to be established in cooperation with the US Military. Modeled on Guantanamo, what we are dealing with is the militarization of FEMA internment facilities.
Once a person is arrested and interned in a FEMA camp located on a military base, that person would in all likelihood, under a national emergency, fall under the de facto jurisdiction of the Military: civilian justice and law enforcement including habeas corpus would no longer apply.
HR 645 bears a direct relationship to the economic crisis and the likelihood of mass protests across America. It constitutes a further move to militarize civilian law enforcement, repealing the Posse Comitatus Act.
In the words of Rep. Ron Paul:
“…the fusion centers, militarized police, surveillance cameras and a domestic military command is not enough… Even though we know that detention facilities are already in place, they now want to legalize the construction of FEMA camps on military installations using the ever popular excuse that the facilities are for the purposes of a national emergency. With the phony debt-based economy getting worse and worse by the day, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat to the establishment. One need only look at Iceland, Greece and other nations for what might happen in the United States next.” (Daily Paul, September 2008, emphasis added)
The proposed internment camps should be seen in relation to the broader process of militarization of civilian institutions. The construction of internment camps predates the introduction of HR 645 (Establishment of Emergency Centers) in January 2009. There are, according to various (unconfirmed) reports, some 800 FEMA prison camps in different regions of the U.S. Moreover, since the 1980s, the US military has developed “tactics, techniques and procedures” to suppress civilian dissent, to be used in the eventuality of mass protests (United States Army Field Manual 19-15 under Operation Garden Plot, entitled “Civil Disturbances” was issued in 1985)
-
In early 2006, tax revenues were allocated to building modern internment camp facilities. In January 2006, Kellogg Brown and Roots, which at the time was a subsidiary of Halliburton, received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):
“The contract, which is effective immediately [January 2006], provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs…
The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other U.S. Government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster. (KBR, 24 January 2006, emphasis added)
The stated objectives of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are to:
“protect national security and uphold public safety by targeting criminal networks and terrorist organizations that seek to exploit vulnerabilities in our immigration system, in our financial networks, along our border, at federal facilities and elsewhere in order to do harm to the United States. The end result is a safer, more secure America” (ICE homepage)
The US media is mum on the issue of the internment camps on US soil. While casually acknowledging the multimillion dollar contract granted to Halliburton’s subsidiary, the news reports largely focused their attention on possible “cost overruns” (similar to those which occurred with KBR in Iraq).
What is the political intent and purpose of these camps? The potential use of these internment facilities to detain American citizens under a martial law situation are not an object of media debate or discussion.
-
Combat Units Assigned to the Homeland
In the last months of the Bush administration, prior to the November 2008 presidential elections, the Department of Defense ordered the recall of the 3rd Infantry’s 1st Brigade Combat Team from Iraq. The relocation of a combat unit from the war theater to domestic front is an integral part of the Homeland Security agenda. The BCT was assigned to assist in law enforcement activities within the US.
The BCT combat unit was attached to US Army North, the Army’s component of US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). The 1st BCT and other combat units would be called upon to perform specific military functions in the case of civil unrest:
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.(
(See Gina Cavallaro, Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1, Army Times, September 8, 2008).
Under the proposed withdrawal of US forces from Iraq under the Obama administration, one expects that other combat units will be brought home from the war theater and reassigned in the United States.
The evolving national security scenario is characterized by a mesh of civilian and military institutions:
-Army combat units working with civilian law enforcement, with the stated mission to curb “social unrest”.
- the establishment of new internment camps under civilian jurisdiction located on US military facilities.
The FEMA internment camps are part of the Continuity of Government (COG), which would be put in place in the case of martial law.
The internment camps are intended to “protect the government” against its citizens, by locking up protesters as well as political activists who might challenge the legitimacy of the Administration’s national security, economic or military agenda.

Spying on Americans: The Big Brother Data Bank
Related to the issue of internment and mass protests, how will data on American citizens be collected?
How will individuals across America be categorized?
What are the criteria of the Department of Homeland Security?
In a 2004 report of the Homeland Security Council entitled Planning Scenarios, pertaining to the defense of the Homeland, the following categories of potential “conspirators” were identified:
“foreign [Islamic] terrorists” ,
“domestic radical groups”, [antiwar and civil rights groups]
“state sponsored adversaries” ["rogue states", "unstable nations"]
“disgruntled employees” [labor and union activists].
In June of last year, the Bush administration issued a National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD 59- HSPD 24) entitled Biometrics for Identification and Screening to Enhance National Security (For Further details see Michel Chossudovsky, “Big Brother” Presidential Directive: “Biometrics for Identification and Screening to Enhance National Security”, Global Research, June 2008)
Adopted without public debate or Congressional approval, its relevant procedures are far-reaching. They are related to the issue of civil unrest. They are also part of the logic behind the establishment of FEMA internment camps under HR 645. .
NSPD 59 (Biometrics for Identification and Screening to Enhance National Security) goes far beyond the narrow issue of biometric identification, it recommends the collection and storage of “associated biographic” information, meaning information on the private lives of US citizens, in minute detail, all of which will be “accomplished within the law”:
-
“The contextual data that accompanies biometric data includes information on date and place of birth, citizenship, current address and address history, current employment and employment history, current phone numbers and phone number history, use of government services and tax filings. Other contextual data may include bank account and credit card histories, plus criminal database records on a local, state and federal level. The database also could include legal judgments or other public records documenting involvement in legal disputes, child custody records and marriage or divorce records.”(See Jerome Corsi, June 2008)
The directive uses 9/11 and the “Global War on Terrorism” as an all encompassing justification to wage a witch hunt against dissenting citizens, establishing at the same time an atmosphere of fear and intimidation across the land.
It also calls for the integration of various data banks as well as inter-agency cooperation in the sharing of information, with a view to eventually centralizing the information on American citizens.
In a carefully worded text, NSPD 59 “establishes a framework” to enable the Federal government and its various police and intelligence agencies to:
“use mutually compatible methods and procedures in the collection, storage, use, analysis, and sharing of biometric and associated biographic and contextual information of individuals in a lawful and appropriate manner, while respecting their information privacy and other legal rights under United States law.”
The NSPD 59 Directive recommends: “actions and associated timelines for enhancing the existing terrorist-oriented identification and screening processes by expanding the use of biometrics”.
The procedures under NSPD 59 are consistent with an earlier June 2005 decision which consisted in creating a “domestic spy service”, under the auspices of the FBI. (For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, Bush Administration creates “Secret State Police”, June 30, 2005)
-
Working hand in glove with Homeland Security (DHS), the proposed “domestic intelligence department” would combine FBI counterterrorism, intelligence and espionage operations into a single service.
The new department operating under the auspices of the FBI would have the authority to “seize the property of people deemed to be helping the spread of WMD”: They would be able to “spy on people in America suspected of terrorism or having critical intelligence information, even if they are not suspected of committing a crime.” (NBC Tonight, 29 June 2005).\

I listened to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell on Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday.
-
He sounded tired and barely able to rally the troops against the Democrats’ government health care takeover.
-
He told Sean’s guest host at the end of an obligatory-sounding critique of Harry Reid that, and I quote, “We’re going to fight ‘em all the way to the finish line.”
That’s what he said:
“We’re going to fight ‘em all the way to the finish line.”
-
Before the cloture vote on sneaky Sunday, Sen. John McCain had sounded the same message with more energy, invoking John Paul Jones and vowing: “We have not yet begun to fight.”
-
Well, the fight’s been called off.
-
McConnell has thrown in the towel:
-
The Senate will hold a final vote on healthcare reform at 8 a.m. on Christmas Eve.
-
Under Senate rules, the GOP could have insisted that the vote not occur until 7 p.m. but Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon to announce an agreement that allows senators to depart Washington sooner to begin the Christmas holiday.
The 60 members of the Democratic caucus have united twice on procedural votes to advance the legislation, meaning passage is all but assured Thursday. On Wednesday, the Senate will hold a cloture vote to end debate on the bill, setting up final action.
-
The Tea Party movement injected new life and new blood into the grass-roots fiscal conservative movement — bringing energetic newcomers into the political process willing to invest their time and money outside their day jobs and family/community commitments.
-
They are activists who eschew apathy and fatigue to battle the wealth redistributors at every level and opportunity.
-
Too many worn-out GOP “leaders” have put “comity” over principle.
-
My Christmas wish for 2010: A new generation of conservative leaders who will walk the “fight ‘em to the finish line” talk — fighting to win, not fighting to settle.

BTW McCain will NOT be back in the Senate next year. His nominating petitions are going unsigned universally across the state. His opponent, Jim Deakin, however, DOES already have the 70,000 required signatures and will get many more by the time necessary to get on the primary ballot. ‘Course our primary isn’t until Aug so McLame has plenty of time to bribe the Indian tribes and to sign and get the cemetery vote…..

NONE.
Neither of these political parties gives a sh!t about me, my family, or my country. I feel betrayed.

Everybody out to get their freebies at the expense of everyone else, be it social security, medicaid/medicare, first time homeowner tax credit, etc. We’re not in this together as the likes of posters such as Zyzzyg have asserted in the past. This country can be bought and sold for so little. The original ideas of this country lies in the Constitution and what our Founders accomplished yet the people who live in this country are more race-obsessed, self-hating grievance mongers that don’t give a flip about this country except what it can give THEM.
Even my husband, a military member and ardent Republican, has his doubts about the sincerity and remaining fight in the Republican Party.
-
I wish every single politician and American who supports them could take a long, deep look in the mirror at who they are and what they represent. All around me, I see people surround themselves with stupid sh!t, convincing themselves that the Federal government is their freakin’ friend when they’re just as bent on controlling this country and the people who live in it.
-
My vote isn’t for sale. You can’t buy me. You can’t own me, Obummer, Dems, and Republicants. All my life, I’ve tried to do the right thing while the rest of you did your level best to sell out every principle, every belief I hold dear. And for what? To be liked by Europe, to resemble all the things THEY’VE done wrong?
-
Why should I have a child who will inherit this mess? I’m beginning to wonder what’s in it for me to live, work, and play in this country if all I get in return is enslavement? Americans like their compromised comfort and false promises by politicians too much. So many Americans want free healthcare at the expense of the rest of us who will have to PAY for it.
I’m done with that. I’m not blind. I’m not a sucker who believes when we send these phonies to Washington that it’s really not about them and their ambitions. Americans are paying and will continue to pay a heavy price for their political ignorance.
My words to the GOP, especially the NY GOP: I’m done with you. You don’t want to fight, you wanna be like the Dems… you wanna appeal to the insipid, half-heartedness of moderates, go for it. Don’t expect my vote in the next election. This especially goes for Rick Lazio who, I think, will run, again, for Hillary’s senate seat against Gillibrand.
I’M DONE!!!!!

“Kicking them out” is after the fact now. The donkey has left the barn and the damage is now in place. Unless this program can be repealed, simply “kicking them out” is just a feel-good retaliation move. That’s why Dems are so happy; Health Care is the vital toehold to later illegal immigrate legalization (to “humanely take care” of those within our borders) and ultimately Universal Free Housing (not apartments or flats but real homes). I rather see our energies devoted to countering this program than simply throwing out Dems while the country is becoming addicted to Nannycare.
Have a Merry Christmas in the last one of a truly non-socialist America.

"Anti-Muslim Backlash"
- 8 more annotations...
-
-
Immediately after US Army major Nidal Hasan, a Muslim, was accused of murdering 14 people at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, the media warned of the backlash soon to be felt by Muslim Americans.
-
Writing in the Weekly Standard, Gary Bauer points out that despite many predictions of anti-Muslim backlash, nothing like that has happened:
(A)n Associated Press headline read, "Another attack leaves U.S. Muslims fearing backlash." A Christian Science Monitor story was titled, "Fort Hood Shootings: US Muslims feel new heat."
-
Even our "leaders," who should know better, showed little confidence in the American spirit of tolerance.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared: "We object to, and do not believe, that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this." And U.S. Army Chief of Staff George Casey said, "I'm concerned that this increased speculation [about Hasan's motives] could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers."
-
But Bauer reminds us that the backlash against Muslims never materialized. It's a myth.
-
Almost all of the "backlash" against Muslims following acts of Islamic domestic terrorism has consisted of acerbic blog posts, tightened restrictions at mosques and enhanced airport security.
-
In the more than a month since the Fort Hood massacre, the only religion-based crime I could find was committed by a young Muslim in California at a mall kiosk. He tore a crucifix from shopper's neck and shouted anti-Christian slurs and "Allah is power."
-
That Muslims have not been victims of violence since the Fort Hood shootings speaks to what's good about America; most of us have a sense of fair play and are unwilling to judge a group because of one individual's actions.
-
It's too bad when our media and government officials jump to conclusions about the American character.

BLAME
THE BISHOPS -
By Cliff Kincaid
December 24, 2009
NewsWithViews.com - 43 more annotations...

-
A lot
is being said and written about why national health care legislation is
becoming a reality. -
The simple fact, available for all to see, is that
the U.S. Catholic Bishops ensured passage of the bill in the House, enabling
the Senate to move forward with its version. -
Like
“progressive” strategist Robert B. Creamer, the Bishops believe
that health care is a right to be guaranteed by government. -
This position
has driven the debate and has rarely been challenged by Republicans. -
The
debate over abortion has been mostly a diversion. Perhaps it has been
planned that way -
As we
were the first to disclose,
Creamer, an ex-con and husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky, emphasized using
“the faith community” to mobilize support for universal health
care by highlighting the morality of providing medical care to people
in need. -
His book, Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win,
emphasized that -
“We must create a national consensus that health
care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that
right.” -
Now
compare this to what the Bishops have said. -
“Our
approach to health care is shaped by a simple but fundamental principle:
‘Every person has a right to adequate health care,’”
they
say. -
They go on, “For three quarters of a century, the Catholic
bishops of the United States have called for national action to assure
decent health care for all Americans. We seek to bring a moral perspective
in an intensely political debate; we offer an ethical framework in an
arena dominated by powerful economic interests.” -
Reform,
the Bishops said, would “require concerted action by federal and
other levels of government and by the diverse providers and consumers
of health care. We believe government, an instrument of our common purpose
called to pursue the common good, has an essential role to play in assuring
that the rights of all people to adequate health care are respected.” -
Also
this: “For three quarters of a century, the Catholic bishops of
the United States have called for national action to assure decent health
care for all Americans.” -
The
only real chance of defeating the health care legislation came when the
bill was lacking a majority of votes for passage in the House. That’s
when the first deal was made. -
This was the deal that made all other deals
possible. Acting at the behest of Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick
and the Catholic Bishops, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed to a vote
on the pro-life amendment introduced by Rep. Bart Stupak. It passed and
then the bill itself was approved. -
But
why did Republicans vote for the Stupak amendment if they opposed the
basic premise of the bill? -
House Republican Leader Rep. John Boehner got
his marching orders as well. -
He
was told by Cardinal Francis George, president of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops, that the Republicans shouldn’t scuttle the
Stupak amendment. -
The
Senate then proceeded to pass its own version of the legislation, without
the Stupak language. Predictably, Stupak is complaining about that. -
But
he–and the Democrats and Republicans who voted for his amendment–only
have themselves to blame. -
At least five lobbyists for the Bishops worked
with Pelosi and Stupak on the deal that is now also predictably falling
apart. -
Clearly, the pro-life deal was a ploy designed to keep the legislation
alive. -
It has
become apparent to some observers that the Bishops want the legislation
to pass, with or without abortion language, because of its perceived impact
on 600 Catholic hospitals. -
As they say in their own document, “Catholic
dioceses, parishes, schools, agencies, and hospitals are major purchasers
of insurance and health care. The rapidly escalating costs of coverage
are impacting almost every diocese, agency, parish, and school.” -
In other
words, the Bishops see national health care legislation as a way to reduce
their own costs. -
In addition, by expanding federally-subsidized health
care to as many as 30 million people, many of whom might normally depend
on Catholic hospitals for inexpensive or free care, the Catholic Bishops
could save even more money. -
Andrew
P. Napolitano, the senior judicial analyst at the Fox News Channel, has
written a very revealing article about what has been missing in the debate
over health care. -
He
writes, “In the continually harsh public discourse over the
President’s proposals for federally-managed healthcare, the Big
Government progressives in both the Democratic and the Republican parties
have been trying to trick us. -
These folks, who really want the government
to care for us from cradle to grave, have been promoting the idea that
health care is a right. In promoting that false premise, they have succeeded
in moving the debate from WHETHER the feds should micro-manage health
care to HOW the feds should micro-manage health care. This is a false
premise, and we should reject it. Health care is not a right; it is a
good, like food, like shelter, and like clothing.” -
Rights
come from God, not government, Napolitano points out. -
It would
have been nice if it had been pointed out on Fox News and elsewhere that
the Catholic Bishops who claim to be offering a “moral perspective”
on this controversy have bought into the false premise. -
But they didn’t
believe it to be false, and that is the critical point. -
Add Sticky NoteIn short,
the Catholic Bishops have merged as a major “progressive”
force in the United States, determined to saddle the country with a socialized
medicine scheme.- SEE: Duduman's site "Hand of Help Ministires" for the role of the Roman Catholic Church in America's and Christians' futures - on 2009-12-24
-
The disagreements over abortion among the “Big
Government progressives” should not distract our attention from
this basic fact. The Bishops also favor “climate change” legislation
and amnesty for illegal aliens. -
In addition
to the lobbyists who were working on Capitol Hill, the bishops have a
staff of 350 in Washington, D.C. and operate on a budget that was estimated
back in 2002 at $131 million a year. -
By contrast, the George Soros-funded
Center for American Progress operates on about $48 million a year. -
Ironically,
we have also discovered that Soros, an atheist, is putting big
money into various Catholic organizations, such as Catholics in Alliance
for the Common Good. -
Not surprisingly, it is backing the health care legislation.
-
“Sadly,
the bishops have misunderstood the entire process, and now we will all
pay,” one conservative Catholic blogger points
out. -
“They thought they could influence our lawmakers to provide
us a ‘clean’ government takeover of the nation’s health
care system, ‘clean’ in the sense they hoped this ‘reform’
would include strong conscience protections while defunding abortion,
without objecting to the basic premise of unprecedented government growth.” -
It is
interesting and newsworthy that, as the nation prepares to celebrate Christmas,
we are witnesses to the passage of legislation promoted in part by elements
of the “faith community” who have put most of their faith
in the federal government and its mammon. -

The Communists Behind Obama’s Health Care Goals – by John Perazzo

-
Significantly, the President’s deeply held positions on healthcare were derived largely from the influence of a politically aggressive group of longtime Marxists whose worldviews were consistent with those Obama had already developed from other radical influences in his life.
-
But before we examine who those particular Marxists were, let us establish, with certainty, what Obama’s long-term objectives for healthcare actually are.
-
As an Illinois state senator in 2003, Obama unambiguously told an AFL-CIO conference:
“I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal healthcare [plan]…. That’s what I’d like to see.”
-
In a single-payer system, a government-run organization would manage the healthcare of every man, woman, and child in the United States—collecting all related fees and paying out all related costs.
-
At an SEIU Health Care Forum on March 24, 2007, Obama sang the same tune—though this time he conceded that the attainment of his ultimate vision might require a gradual, incremental approach:
-
“There’s going to be, potentially, some transition process. I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out, or 20 years out…”
-
In the summer of 2008, when a campaign audience member asked him to comment on single-payer healthcare, Obama candidly replied:
“If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system.”
-
Earlier this year, however, the President—recognizing the American public’s opposition to such a system, as reflected in every reputable opinion poll—made a calculated political move to withdraw the single-payer option from the bargaining table.
-
In its stead, he argued in favor of a so-called “public option,” where a government plan would be set up to “compete” with private insurers—and would undoubtedly drive many of those insurers out of business.
-
In an effort to assuage people’s fear that he was seeking to transform the world’s finest healthcare system into a government-run reflection of his own socialist ideals, Obama said this on June 15:
“What are not legitimate concerns are those being put forward claiming a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single-payer system.… So, when you hear the nay-sayers claim that I’m trying to bring about government-run health care, know this—they are not telling the truth.”
-
But in light of his earlier quotes, this was less than candid.
-
Obama’s pre-opinion poll position on the matter of single-payer healthcare was clear and unwavering.
-
His more recent departure from that position is perfectly consistent with the tactics advocated by his political guru, the late Saul Alinsky, who counseled revolutionaries to conceal their real motives; to say and do whatever is necessary to allay the fears and suspicions of the middle class;
-
and to pursue incremental change where overnight transformation is not possible—knowing they can always agitate for additional change at some point in the future.
-
Notwithstanding his concession to political practicality, it is clear that the ultimate objective of President Obama’s self-identified quest to “fundamentally transform the United States of America,” is to move the nation as far as possible, albeit incrementally, toward a single-payer system.
-
How did Obama come to embrace the single-payer ideal as the best of all possible options? Thanks to some extraordinary research by Trevor Loudon and Brenda J. Elliott, among others, we know the answer.
-
The primary figure who delivered Obama to the single-payer camp was Quentin Young, an 86-year-old retired physician who was a longtime friend and neighbor of Obama in Chicago.
-
Young joined the Young Communist League as a teenager in the late 1930s.
-
From the mid-1940s through the mid-1970s, he was closely associated with the Communist Party.
-
In October 1968 he was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was probing the extent of his knowledge about the riots that had erupted at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago two months earlier.
-
The Committee accused Young of belonging to the Bethune Club, an organization for communist doctors; the group was named after Norman Bethune, a communist physician who devoted his services to the totalitarian regime of Mao Zedong.
-
Dr. Young was active in the radical movements of the Sixties and Seventies and led a small delegation to Communist North Vietnam in 1972.
-
In the late 1970s, Young became associated with a Marxist organization known as the New American Movement, which was initially convened by Michael Lerner, an America-hating radical who counseled young people to explore the use of LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs as portals to a greater comprehension of socialist principles.
-
In 1980 Young founded the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, a single-payer lobby group whose Board of Directors he chairs to this day.
-
In 1982 Young helped establish the Democratic Socialists of America, which, as the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International, asserts that “many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed.”
-
In 1987 Young co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), a single-payer advocacy organization where he currently serves as national coordinator.
-
In PNHP’s view, government-run healthcare “should be financed by truly progressive taxation.”
-
In 1995 Young attended the now-famous meeting at the Hyde Park home of former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, where Barack Obama was first introduced to influential locals as the hand-picked successor to Alice Palmer, a pro-Soviet radical who planned to vacate her Illinois State Senate seat in pursuit of a higher elected office.
-
Young quickly became a friend and political ally of Obama, teaching the latter about the merits of single-payer healthcare.
-
In a 2009 interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, Young reminisced about the germination of his ideological kinship with the young Obama:
-
“Barack Obama, in those early days [as a state senator]—influenced, I hope, by me and others—categorically said single payer was the best way, and he would inaugurate it if he could get the support, meaning [Democratic] majorities in both houses, which he’s got, and the presidency, which he’s got. And he said that on more than one occasion….”
-
Another noteworthy influence on Obama’s views vis à vis healthcare has been Dr. Peter Orris, who co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program with Quentin Young.
-
The son of a Communist Party member, Orris in the 1960s was a leader of Harvard University’s campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, the New Leftist organization that aspired to overthrow America’s democratic institutions and remake the nation’s government in a Marxist image.
-
He later joined the Communist Party (CP) for more than two decades, before ultimately shifting his allegiance to the CP splinter group, Committees of Correspondence, where he remains a prominent figure to this day.
-
- Joanne Landy, a high-ranking member of the Democratic Socialists of America
- Mark Almberg, a prominent member of the Illinois Communist Party since the 1970s
- Oliver Fein (PNHP President) and Steffi Woolhandler (PNHP Secretary), both of whom have spoken in favor of a single-payer healthcare system at the annual Socialist Scholars Conferences in New York City
Other leading PNHP activists (and thus, key shapers of President Obama’s healthcare agendas) include the following:
-
The Communist influences on President Obama’s healthcare objectives do not end with the foregoing list of PNHP leaders.
-
In 2004, PNHP collaborated with a number of likeminded, far-left organizations to form a wider coalition, Healthcare-NOW!, which likewise promotes single-payer reform
-
(and, notably, enjoys the strong support of the Socialist Party USA).
-
Obama’s friend and mentor, Quentin Young, is a central figure in Healthcare-NOW!, serving as the network’s national coordinator and co-chair.
-
- Medea Benjamin, the pro-Castro, America-hating co-founder of Global Exchange, Code Pink for Peace, and Iraq Occupation Watch
- Michael Lighty, a longtime member (and former chairman) of the Democratic Socialists of America
- Flavio Casoy, a San Francisco-based doctor and a prominent member of the Communist Party USA
- Rev. Lucius Walker, the pro-Castro executive director of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization, and a longtime supporter of Communist Party USA activities
Other prominent members of Healthcare-NOW!’s Board of Directors—who, like their counterparts at PNHP, exert a major influence on President Obama—include:
-
Barack Obama did not conceive of socialized medicine on his own. His acceptance of such a system was cultivated and nurtured by the same types of Marxist revolutionaries with whom he has surrounded himself throughout his entire adult life – and who are now shaping the major policy agendas of his administration.

Obama and his allies are right this very moment attacking swiftly on all fronts…not with half measures designed to win your approval but with full on outright lawlessness that depends on your not believing it is happening.

Executive Order 12425
-
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.
-
Here’s the text of 2(c), which this EO now has applying to INTERPOL:
-
(c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.
-
An INTERPOL branch in the US now cannot be searched, it’s files are not subject to legal subpoena nor discovery.
-
If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the court system, just hand them over to INTERPOL until the smoke clears.
-
INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens.
-
By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, exemption from US taxes, and immunity from FOIA requests, etc.
-
Obama just declared INTERPOL records immune from search and seizure — "The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable."

The face of China's Mao Zedong, blamed for the deaths of 50 to 80 million of his countrymen, graces an ornament on the White House Christmas tree for President Obama's first holiday season in residence.
-
According to BigGovernment.com, the tree also features an ornament adding Obama to Mount Rushmore.
-
The images, such as the "transvestite" character "Hedda Lettuce," are attributed to the work of Simon Doonan, creative director of Barney's New York, whose previous projects have included Margaret Thatcher as a dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquist's dummy, according to the New York Times.
-
"Why let a holiday season come between the White House and making some political statements," Big Government's report asked.
-
"These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago.
-
The Times noted the White House's choice of Doonan to decorate this year was confirmed by volunteers and florists who gathered to install annual displays.
-
The Times reported Doonan's work in the White House "certainly … will be less controversial than Mr. Doonan's displays for Barneys for more than two decades, which have alternatively fascinated and horrified holiday shoppers."
-
"And, so soon after collecting the Nobel Peace Prize, why wouldn't the White House have an ornament superimposing President Obama onto Mt. Rushmore," said Big Government's "Capitol Confidential" column.
-
On the website's forum page, one participant commented, "It's a 'Holiday Tree' not a Christmas tree.
-
These people don't have any real morals so they might as well score some points with the moonbats."
-
The report follows a commentary from legendary martial arts champion, actor and WorldNetDaily columnist Chuck Norris on Obama's penchant for rejecting Christianity and its symbols.
-

Obama as part of Mount Rushmore (Photo by Big Government.com) -
Norris wrote in his recent WND column that Obama has "sarcastically belittled America's Judeo-Christian heritage and degraded its adherents with trite remarks typical of any atheistic antagonist."
-
He cited statements by Obama, including, "Whatever we were, we are no longer a Christian nation," and "The Sermon on the Mount [is] a passage that is so radical that our own defense department wouldn't survive its application."
-
Add Sticky NoteObama also declared publicly in Turkey last April, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation."
- Speak for yourself, Imam - on 2009-12-24
-
Norris wrote,
"President Obama has enabled an anti-Christian agenda unlike any former president by revising America's religious history, minimizing the role of religion today, passing secular-progressive legislation and turning a blind eye to issues like atheists' lawsuit to remove the national motto ('In God We Trust') off of the walls of the new Capitol Visitors Center in Washington, D.C., or the ACLU's disposal of Veteran memorial crosses in the Mojave Desert and at Mount Soledad. -
"Every time President Obama has had an opportunity to stand for Christianity in any way, he has not only denied it but disdained it," he said.

It's the story you won't hear about anywhere else.
-
The media, from Fox News to CNN to ABC and the New York Times, are all pretending there is no threat to the First Amendment being made by the Council on American-Islamic Relations – the Muslim Brotherhood's walking, talking public-relations factory based right here in Washington.
-
CAIR is trying to end-run freedom of the press in America by challenging the publication of a breathtaking expose of the group by WND Books and authors P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry.
-
Instead of telling you the truth about CAIR – namely that it is an unindicted terrorist front group operating with impunity in America – the media have allowed CAIR easy and open access to airwaves to spread their pro-Hamas, pro-Muslim Brotherhood propaganda.

A lawsuit by the Council on American-Islamic Relations against a father and son who conducted an undercover counter-terrorism investigation of the controversial Muslim group could backfire badly, according to several counter-terrorism experts observing the case.
-
As WND reported, CAIR claims P. David Gaubatz and his son, Chris Gaubatz, stole sensitive material from the group's Washington office under false pretenses.
-
But lawyers for the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case this week that contends CAIR has no claim because it does not legally exist.
-
Just two weeks after CAIR was named by the Justice Department in May 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist finance case in U.S. history, the organization changed its name to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network, explains attorney Daniel Horowitz in a 34-page brief filed in federal court in the nation's capital.
-

Robert Spencer -
Steven Emerson, whose counter-terrorism expertise is relied on by many members of Congress, told WND that based on Horowitz's work, "it certainly appears that CAIR changed its name due its being named as an unindicted co-conspirator" in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing case in Texas.
-
"The Horowitz filing is brilliant in establishing that CAIR does not exist legally and therefore cannot sue," said Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
"The filing shows unambiguously the legal fraud that CAIR has engaged in."
-
CAIR alleges that Chris Gaubatz, who served six months as an unpaid volunteer for CAIR last year, obtained access to the Muslim group's property under false pretenses, removed internal documents and made recordings of officials and employees "without any consent or authorization and in violation of his contractual, fiduciary and other legal obligations to CAIR."
-
But Horowitz, while addressing each of CAIR's specific claims, asserts in his brief that "CAIR is not a valid entity and even if it were, the exposure of its inner workings is part of the price it pays for being a controversial group in a hotly contested arena."
-
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, scholar and best-selling author of nine books on Islam and jihad, said CAIR, "once such a canny organization, continues to shoot itself in the foot."
-
"In attempting damage control on the revelations Chris Gaubatz has made about the unsavory inner workings of the organization, they've now caused to be made public the fact that they're under FBI investigation, and now face a direct challenge to their very existence," he told WND.
-
Spencer said it's "long past time that this cancerous pro-jihad group be shut down, and David and Chris Gaubatz are to be applauded for making that a genuine possibility."
-
The FBI stepped into the case Nov. 23 with a warrant to examine the papers and recordings, apparently as part of its concern about CAIR and its terrorist links to Hamas.
-
The bureau cut off ties to CAIR in January in response to the Islamic group being named an unindicted terror co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case.
-
Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, told WND that if the precedent Horowitz presents in his motion is applicable – the U.S. Supreme Court's 1971 decision affirming the New York Times' right to publish the Pentagon Papers – "then CAIR's attempt to stifle the release of this cache of materials will probably backfire by leading to greater interest in the inner workings of this 'terrorist-supporting front organization.'"
-
Pipes said, however, he doesn't believe the case is "crucial to CAIR's future."
"The decisive event for it will likely either be a criminal indictment or an expose by a leading newspaper or television channel," he said.
-
Horowitz says if CAIR responds to his brief by filing an amendment to change its registered name back to Council on American Islamic-Relations, he will seek an evidentiary hearing "to establish whether there is a genuine corporate entity that is 'CAIR' or whether 'CAIR' is a moniker used to represent the activities of a ruling group that oversees (in some way) the operations of other CAIR-related groups."
-
The reply to CAIR also contends the Gaubatzes' actions to expose the group are protected by the First Amendment.
-
A federal judge in Washington issued a restraining order Nov. 3 barring the Gaubtazes from further use or publication of the material – 12,000 pages of documents along with audio and video recordings – and demanding that they return it to the Muslim group's lawyers.
-
The book, co-authored by David Gaubatz and "Infiltration" author Paul Sperry, asserts CAIR is acting as a front for a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas – to infiltrate the U.S. and help pave the way for Saudi-style Islamic law to rule the nation.

One day after the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao snubbed President Obama at the United Nation's Copenhagen Climate Summit, the Chinese warned the United States that China's ability to continue buying U.S. Treasury debt was limited.
-
Zhu Min, the deputy governor of the People's Republic of China, told the Shanghai Daily that it is getting harder for the People's Bank of China to buy U.S. Treasuries because the shrinking U.S. current account is reducing the supplies overseas.
-
This was dire news for the Obama administration that in 2010 and for the foreseeable future will be dependent on China to buy U.S. Treasury debt in order to fund the trillion-dollar federal budget deficits projected over the next decade.
-
The Shanghai Daily reported that Zhu told an academic audience that it was inevitable the value of the dollar would fall in value given the increasing reliance of the Obama administration on issuing U.S. Treasury debt to finance deficit spending.
-
"The United States cannot force foreign governments to increase their holdings of Treasuries," Zhu said. "Double the holdings? It is definitely impossible."
-
Zhu's warning was clear.
"The world does not have so much money to buy more U.S. Treasuries," he said.
-
China's warnings portend that the Obama administration's determination to expand the U.S. social welfare state will necessarily meet a limit when foreign nations lack the U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves needed to purchase increasing amounts of U.S. Treasury debt.
-
Zhu's comments were a warning to the Obama administration that China does not approve of the large and continuing deficits the U.S. is projecting into the future.
-
The current account is a measure of a country's current surplus or deficit in international trade, plus international borrowing and lending, plus transfer payments such as foreign aid.
-
The largest component in a nation's current account is typically the balance of trade account.
-
Specifically Zhu Min was referencing the diminishing magnitude of the continuing U.S. balance of trade with China brought on by reduced demand for consumer goods in the United States.
-
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, foreign trade division, the U.S. balance of trade with China for the last decade is as follows:

-
By comparison, in 1990, the U.S. negative balance of trade with China was only $10,431,000; in 1985, the U.S. negative balance of trade with China was only $6,000,000.
-
This year may end up being the first year in over a decade where the U.S. negative balance of trade with China has been smaller than the negative balance of trade in the previous year.
-
Thus, while China's foreign exchange reserves have gained dramatically over time, reaching a current level of $2.3 trillion at the end of September – the largest amount of foreign exchange reserves any nation has ever accumulated in the history of international trade – the rate at which China is accumulating foreign exchange reserves has slowed,
-
reflecting a reduction in the United States' purchasing of goods from China during the current global economic downturn.
-
According to the U.S. Treasury, China is the largest holder of U.S. Treasury debt, amounting to $798.9 billion in October 2009, with Japan second on the list at $746.5 billion.

WHAT
IS OBAMA'S FIRST YEAR LEGACY? -

We
are playing with a constitutional meltdown and it is not just because
Obama was most likely born in another country. -
It is because the Federal
Government has no constitutional right to mandate health care on the
America people. -
Though the drama queens continue to fight, negotiate,
and argue, most of them in the House and Senate want a Government option
of some kind that forces health care on all Americans. -
Some of these
wanna be politicians want heavy fines including prison time if you don’t
do what they demand with their rationed health care program. We think
we have overcrowded prisons now? -
Harry
Reid is saying there will be a vote by Christmas Eve. -
Pelosi boldly
announced there would be no vote before Christmas and I’m certain
President Obama has called the psychic hot line to try and figure out
what he should say in his state of the Union speech. -
You know, the speech
read on a teleprompter that outlines Obamas legacy and accomplishments
his first year.
I
can write it for him -
He got the Nobel
Peace prize. -
He
should be proud. There is certainly much to talk about. -
He is in the bold company of other heroic recipients such
as Al Gore and Yasser Arafat. -
Obama must have been given the prise for
giving 900 million to Hamas and saying Amidinajad had the right to go
nuclear. -
Obama
has also shown us amazing humility and great breeding in that he knows
how to say sorry. -
I lost count as to how many times he has apologized
for America abroad to numerous, international governing bodies. -
How can I forget…..he is also sorry we are a Christian
nation and tells the world we are not. -
Back
to thinking about his speech -
He
should be proud to have spear headed a bunch of lying morons in the
science and political world who falsified global warming data, manipulated
and destroyed it…..then were hacked into and caught with their
hot little pants down. -
Here our President is in Copenhagen talking about
the world melt down when the whole world now knows beyond doubt that
it is a total hoax and criminal fraud. -
Perhaps he should rush home and force cap and trade through. Maybe Obama
could have Al Gore open up before his state of the Union talk. -
The
other big chunk of Obama’s legacy he wanted signed, no doubt before
his big speech, is Government health care. -
Don’t you just love
the lies when he declared this week the US will go bankrupt if this
health bill doesn’t pass. -
This country might go bankrupt alright
but mainly because he and this congress are spending us into bankruptcy. -
I’m
wondering if this health albatross gets signed into existence if part
of Obama’s legacy won’t be that he shredded the US constitution
and bill of rights! -
The truth of the matter is our Government will cause
a fire storm of law suits, clear up to the Supreme court if they seduce
themselves into thinking they or the President have the right to order
everyone on health care……or else. -
Even the Congressional
Budget Office who was asked how a mandate should be treated for
budgetary purposes said:
“A
mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would
be an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never
required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful
residence in the United States.” -
Jay
Sekulow, chief council for American Center
for Law & Justice says that an….”individual mandate’
will trigger many legal challenges that ultimately will come before
the Supreme Court. The ultimate question that the high court will have
to face: can Congress regulate a person simply for existing –
absent some other activity?” -
Let’s
try and wrap up this legacy so far: -
Obama wants a forced federal, unconstitutional
health care bill that would threaten people and send them to prison
if they didn’t comply. -
He wants abortions paid in this bill by
all people, with Doctors/hospitals forced to give them. -
He wants our
seniors made to sit through end of life counseling sessions, rationing
and long lines. -
I guess this must be a reward for their faithful service
to our country. -
He
also desperately wants the Cap
and Trade/global warming bill signed to create the other huge vehicle
of national control. That would be control of our businesses, accounts,
lives and freedoms. -
Just
what is our President going to say with his State of the Union speech? -
Fortunately he doesn’t have to think or speak on his feet since
he will be reading from the Obama teleprompter, no doubt a speech written
by one or more of his communistic czars. -
Is
there anything of achievement I have forgotten? -
Be generous during the
Christmas season Laurie………..oh yes, Obama thinks the
Star Spangled banner is too violent sounding and would prefer “I’d
like to teach the world to sing.” -

EUROPE
ENTERS A NUTRITION SCIENCE DARK AGE -

As
the clock strikes 12:01AM on January 1, 2010, Europe will enter a nutrition
science Dark Age. -
The stultifying effects of that backward movement
will hit food and dietary supplement companies hard all around the world. -
The movement toward replacing private choice with government fiat proceeds
apace internationally. -
Europe’s condemnation of food supplements
and claims about them is among the latest examples of that movement. -
The
nations of Europe gave up considerable national sovereignty to the European
Union a number of years ago. -
The members states have repeatedly reaped
the bitter fruit of that decision. One of those bitter fruits is about
to fall from the EU tree. -
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),
established to preside over food supplements and claims for food supplements
by the European Commission, has determined that only a small percentage
of food supplements is sufficiently safe and bioavailable to remain
on the European market. -
Under European Commission regulations no food
supplement may be lawfully sold anywhere in Europe unless EFSA scientists
opine that the food supplement is both safe and bioavailable as “substantiated
by generally accepted scientific evidence.” -
EFSA makes that determination
in response to dossiers submitted from the regulated companies. If no
dossier is submitted for a nutrient either because the science required
cannot be obtained affordably or because no one has the resources to
pursue the claim, EFSA condemns the nutrient, deeming it inappropriate
for market. -
Thus
far out of over 40,000 dossiers submitted, EFSA has limited its authorizations
to certain vitamins and minerals and has rejected wholesale all other
vitamins, minerals, herbs and botanicals of various kinds. -
Moreover,
it has refused to allow claims of health benefit for a whole host of
products. -
These are the very same products that have been legally sold
in Europe for decades without any significant injury to the population. -
In short, EFSA is achieving a massive constriction in the product and
information offerings in the European marketplace to the great detriment
of European consumers. -
Fully informed consumer choice is being wiped
out. EFSA is dumbing down the European marketplace, ridding it of substances
that have improved the lives of Europeans and of emerging science necessary
to comprehend the potential health benefits of food supplements. -
This
draconian system of prior restraint over products and scientific speech
deprives European consumers of the right to determine for themselves
what food elements to ingest and what credence to give emerging science
concerning food supplements. -
Those decisions are now being made by EFSA
bureaucrats intolerant of dissent from their new state orthodoxy on
nutrition science. -
Its scientists presume to know better
than all private scientists, all food supplement manufacturers, and
all consumers what is in the best interests of those consumers. -
EFSA
is the nanny state writ large. -
Science, including nutrition science,
is evolutionary and open to debate. Scientists rarely agree on the extent
to which a proposition backed by studies is proven. -
Consequently, almost
all of the emerging science on which consumers depend to exercise informed
choice is based on credible, but inconclusive evidence. -
That should
not surprise us because almost all medical science upon which physicians
make life and death decisions every day is likewise in a realm of relative
scientific uncertainty (lacking conclusive proof to establish its efficacy). -
In steps, EFSA with its own brand of state certainty substitutes its
condemnatory judgment for free market exchanges, ridding the market
of nutrients and censoring from the market information indispensable
to the exercise of informed consumer choice. -
The
environment is one not of enlightenment or respect for individual rights. -
It is not far from the mind set that preceded the Renaissance, a time
when Copernicus waxed bold by declaring that he thought the earth orbited
the sun, not the other way around. -
The church of old, like EFSA, views
such claims of emerging science with considerable skepticism and so
censors them, depriving citizens of a chance to judge for themselves
the credibility of the claims. -
When
EFSA’s opinions become law through adoption by the European Commission,
European consumers are locked out of nutrition science debate. They
are deprived of emerging science and the right to exercise their own
judgment as to the relative worth of nutrition science speech offerings. -
Instead, state censors keep the vast majority of science out of the
market and permit here and there dribs and drabs to enter, skewing the
information marketplace in ways they favor. -
Thus, an elitist guard possesses
a monopoly on information access and deigns paternalistically to provide
the public a small sampling it thinks “safe” for European
consumption. -
This gross example of censorship offends the very notion
of individual liberty. Europeans are thus enslaved anew by an anti-Enlightenment
philosophy that regards government as the end all be all in the universe
of food and nutrition science. -
Depriving
European consumers of emerging science leads to decisions in the market
that either presume health benefits to be greater than they likely are
or conversely to be non-existent. -
When science is kept from the point
of sale, consumers tend to base decisions on non-scientific factors,
such as taste or superstition. -
We
should not think this matter limited to Europe. -
Not only do we depend
mightily on access to European markets for our food stuffs but we also
depend on European food stuffs here that may disappear as a result of
EFSA’s new draconian limitations. -
At
a time of recession when we can scarce afford new significant limits
to markets, Europe is eliminating a significant sector of its food supplement
marketplace. -
American dietary supplements will be blocked from import
and enjoined from selling dietary supplements all across Europe. -
There
will be resultant lost profits here and unemployment. Likewise, import
markets in the United States dependent on European food supplements
are going to be awakened rudely to the fact that products legally sold
before New Year’s are no longer lawfully saleable. -
Certain
ranking members of Congress and leading political managers at the Food
and Drug Administration are infatuated with the European example. -
They
would like nothing better than to replicate it here through harmonization
of American laws with those of the European Union. -
The
world of food regulation, like so much of the world, is now marching
steadily in the direction of state control and away from individual
liberty. -
Access to products with health enhancing features will be far
more difficult in Europe and in the United States in the months and
years to come. -
Nutrition science will remain locked out of the marketplace
to the grave detriment of consumers, causing only an information elite
to benefit from knowledge of how certain nutrients can extend longevity
and reduce the incidence of disease. -
This
process of bureaucratic expansion and assumption of jurisdictional control
over matters previously governed by individual private decision making
is an insidious encroachment that replaces freedom with servility. -
If
we can neither be allowed to choose for consumption foods and food elements
freely nor be allowed access at the point of sale to information concerning
the potential of those substances to extend longevity and reduce disease
risk, we can hardly call ourselves free. -
Europe’s
move back into a Dark Age in the field of nutrition science should alarm
us. -
Although we cannot but feel the adverse impact of the European restrictions,
we can only hope that the full brunt of the new Dark Age enveloping
Europe is confined to that continent, not welcomed here courtesy of
sympathetic agents in our Food and Drug Administration. -

ONE
WORLD CURRENCY ON THE HORIZON? -

-
Who
said last February that it was OK with them to produce a new currency
to replace the dollar? -
None other than serial tax evader, our U.S. Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner -
and the guy that held his nose when the corporations
to big to fail began receiving government bailouts, Federal Reserve
chief, Ben Bernanke. -
In a speech to the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce
on February 6, 2007 Bernanke warned that rising income inequality in
the U.S. “has been evident for at least three decades, if not
longer.” [1] -
Gee, I wonder what caused that?
-
Could it be the Federal
Reserve printing money out of thin air causing inflation and the income
disparity? -
And why did the Obama administration fail to invite the National
Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) and the Chambers to the
“Jobs Summit” table held early in December? -
Add Sticky NoteNational Black
Chamber of Commerce president, Harry Alford, a guest on Glenn Beck on
12/9 told how unions with big government jobs that pay prevailing wages
(40% higher than non-government jobs) discriminate by ignoring minorities
for these jobs but instead they bring in workers from 60-70 miles away.- Just love the Leftist/Liberal hypocrits who are so readily throwing around term like "racists" on everyone else but show their "racism" and bigotry by excluding Blacks and other minorities. - on 2009-12-20
-
While
he didn’t say it, it is common knowledge among union members that
they will be reimbursed for food and lodging. -
And then we learn there
is a Federal Prison Industry that is giving 160 prisoners the “green”
jobs in one city where 80 other people destined for those jobs were
laid off. -
It seems governments at all levels are producing the most
jobs and have the most job security. -
The Chamber used to appease the United Nations regional administrative
government leaders and now the chamber seems to be unwelcome. Those
who say Appease, Appease are
hung by those they tried to please. -
Our
Congress has become obsolete. -
Former Georgia Governor and Congressman
Zell Miller in his book, A National Party No More says Washington lawmakers
have replaced dogs as best friends in favor of Special Interest Groups
and campaign consultants. -
He says the politicians are regularly petted
and fed and they wag their tails and do tricks – the favorite
one being “Beg,” but “Lie Down,” “Stay.”
“Speak” and “Roll Over” are also favorites. -
The Special Interest Groups have to keep their pets obedient and performing
in order to distort issues they must keep alive in perpetuity in order
to make their jobs seem necessary. -
Our dictator’s Executive Decrees
and his czars in charge of all these unconstitutional U.N. administrative
governmental agencies are in positions to regulate us to death at random
and they now seem to be running our country. -
Our
votes are for cosmetic purposes only. -
I’m
reminded we’ve been taught the Civil War was fought to free the
slaves but an ulterior motive of centralized government in Washington,
D.C. was overlooked in our history books. -
Our Founding Fathers clearly
understood that only a citizenry educated in morality and willingly
bound by the self-forced chains of virtue can remain free of the chains
of tyranny. -
Radio host Rush Limbaugh would ask, “How is Obama’s
Hoax and Chains working for us?” -
Current centralized government
with no checks and balances is returning us to slavery. -
And for all
those “birther”debunkers, on June 27, 2004, the East African
Standard Newspaper featured a headline that said: KENYAN-BORN OBAMA
ALL SET FOR U.S. SENATE. Obama, at the time, would have said, “Only
the president has to be a natural born citizen.” -
The
February 26, 1968 Dan Smoot Report says prior to the inauguration of
Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, the American dollar was fully
redeemable. -
Anyone could take paper money to a bank and exchange it
for gold (in coins or bars) at the official rate of $20.67 an ounce.
(Current value of gold is approximately $1200 an ounce). -
Shortly after
taking office, Roosevelt, by Executive Decree, forbade the use of gold
as currency, forcing Americans to sell their gold to the government,
for paper money what could no longer be redeemed. -
On January 30, 1934,
Congress passed Roosevelt’s Gold Reserve Act, officially abolishing
our standard gold dollar, prohibiting further gold coinage, and forbidding
Americans to use gold as currency and making it impossible for them
to redeem paper dollars in gold. -
Christopher
Weber in his 1988 book “…Good as Gold”? How We Lost
Our Gold Reserves and Destroyed the Dollar, said in 1950, U.S. depositories
held more gold than had ever been assembled in one place. -
Throughout
the 1950s and ‘60s, the U.S. government exchanged one ounce of
gold for $35 – despite the fact that more dollars were being printed
than our gold reserves warranted. -
Then
in 1971 Republican Richard Nixon closed the gold window by breaking
the U.S. treaty commitment to redeem the dollar for gold internationally
and in so doing he removed all constraints on the Federal Reserve’s
ability to inflate and the government’s ability to pile up endless
debts. -
On August 15, 1971, the U.S. defaulted on its promise to pay
gold for dollars. It finally admitted that all the U.S. dollars in existence
could not be exchanged for gold at $35 an ounce. There were just too
many dollars and too little gold. -
This realization came too late, for
by then 400 million ounces of gold – two-thirds of the nation’s
reserves- were gone and seriously damaged our economy. -
At the same time
Nixon also imposed price and wage controls and we’ve seen prices
go up more than 350% since that day. -
(I still have in my possession
silver certificates from the 60s that were once redeemable in silver
that is now at approximately $18 an ounce) -
And Nixon, an enthusiastic
supporter of the New World Order” signed Executive Order 11647
on 2/10/1972 entered into the Federal Register on 2/12 that divided
the U.S. into 10 regions, a step towards that New World Order (One world
government). -
He staffed each of these ten Federal Regional Headquarters
with the grant-making agencies of the Federal Government with the authority
of allocating so-called Revenue Sharing “free” government
money to local units of the government who would jump threw hoops for
these freebies; -
however, how could the federal government give these
“Grants” when the Feds have been bankrupt for a long, long
time? -
Dam
Smoot writes the day following January 30, 1934, Roosevelt devalued
the paper dollar (the only time this has been done in American history)
by declaring the price of gold to be $35 an ounce. -
This gave the government
a windfall “profit” of $2.8 billion, and cheapened the people’s
money by 41%. -
Roosevelt had forced the people to sell at $20.67 an ounce.
He then raised an ounce of gold to $35 by the simple act of saying the
Treasury would pay that much for gold. -
Though it prevented Americans
from redeeming paper dollars in gold, the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 provided
foreign governments and central banking system could sell their paper
money to the U.S. Treasury for gold. -
Most
of the monetary gold reserve was stored at Ft. Knox and it was at that
point we began to see our gold reserves depleted. -
And speaking about
“windfall profits,” the certifiable nincompoop who currently
holds the position two steps away from the White House, Democrat House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi in April 2009 was proposing a windfall tax on retirement
income. -
In
the book “The Secret World of Money” by Andrew Gause, he
was asked, “What would happen if the U.S. went into default on
the interest payments on our national debt now totaling about $11 trillion
but which doesn’t take into consideration all the promised future
entitlements which now could easily be over $100 trillion. -
Perhaps at
this time we should compare this disaster with what so many people who
spent themselves into debt and have long been just one paycheck away
from bankruptcy are now facing. -
Their homes are what the industry calls
“under water” meaning the equity in their homes has been
borrowed to the hilt and then the housing market began to deteriorate
and they now find themselves with a mortgage payment they can’t
meet due to loss of a job and they owe more than their home is worth. -
As a nation, are we in a similar predicament as these homeowners?
-
Are
their days numbered before they must face the shame of the bankruptcy
court and attorney’s fees because they tried to keep up with the
Joneses who may also have been “under water” and drowning
in debt? -
The bank will foreclose
on the homes of these common folks who faithfully paid their taxes and
the bank will try to salvage as much as they can from the home if they
can sell it. -
American
is Insolvent. -
In March 2001 the TV news reported
5% of the House of Representatives, 4% of the U.S. Senate, 4.8% in the
Republican President George W. Bush’s cabinet, 1.7% of I.R.S.
employees were delinquent and tax
evaders. -
But
then there is the privileged class. -
While there are a “few good men and/or women”
who serve us in Washington, D.C., face it you common folks, the elitists
in Washington, D.C. do not give a darn about you. -
These greedy, totally
incompetent lickspittles are the problem – not the solution. -
On
October 12, 2009, Bloomberg News Service reported the U.S. dollar had
reached the breaking point because central banks were snubbing the dollar
and replacing it with euros and yen. -
So what if the U.S. goes bankrupt?
Will that mean the end to our sovereignty? Will that mean our personal
real estate being held as collateral will soon be owned by China? -
Did
the Red Chinese flag that was raised over Washington, D.C. in September
2009 to commemorate the anniversary of the communist takeover of China
by Chairman Mao sixty years ago send a message that “we win, you
lose?” -
Did
your paper like mine recently report in section Z a couple paragraphs
about how North Korea revalued its currency known as “won,”
at an exchange rate between old and new notes of 100 to 1? Does this
mean if the North Koreans had $100 “won,” they would now
have “one won?” The currency reform understandably sparked
panic among its citizens. -
Is
that coming to America? Are we heading for a universal currency or a
cashless society? -
Some became concerned about the 666 System from Revelation
when scanners were installed in stores but soon we went back to sleep
and it became common place from President Jimmy Carter’s new Secret
Security Force patches that had “666” on them to the U.S.
Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service Alcohol Tobacco and firearms
badges using “666.” -
Some with medical problems had computer
chips placed in their bodies for easy scanning by medical personnel.
Others put chips in their dogs in case they got lost. Young people began
to jump on the tattoo fad. -
These
may be the best of times and the worst of times depending upon a person’s
relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. -
Other United Nations Regional
administrative government agencies make the rules and they can do anything
they wish. -
Our Constitution is no longer applicable. It’s “outmoded!”
It won’t protect us. If we think the violence is bad now, we “ain’t”
seen nothing yet should the Lord tarry. -

FRANKLIN
GRAHAM: 'OUR CHURCHES ARE DEAD' -
By
Paul Proctor
December 16, 2009

I read
an interesting article/interview with Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist,
Billy Graham, in a publication called The Gathering where he not only
expressed the importance of sharing the gospel, but also some less than
flattering comments about today’s churches and pastors “going
directions Jesus never told us to go into,” -
referencing the new
“liberal” evangelical emphasis on “social justice”
and “Christianizing” the culture. -
Of course,
I can’t speak for Franklin Graham, but it sure sounded like a slap
in the face of Rick Warren with his Global Peace Plan. -
Certainly, there
are many who have made the social gospel job one, but none more notable
than the Purpose Driven pastor from Saddleback Church. -
Unfortunately,
Graham didn’t name names, an all too common practice among clergy
today, -
which leaves many vulnerable to “Christian” celebrities
who put people-pleasing programs and global agendas over and above the
Word of God and the call to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. -
If Mr.
Graham believes certain pastors are out there leading others astray with
a false gospel, he has a duty to warn them, not just make vague references
that will go in one ear and out the other as if who’s doing it doesn’t
really matter. Souls are at stake here. -
But,
in spite of this, he made some important points in the Q&A session
that need to be mentioned: -
TG:
The next generation of believers seems to be making social justice issues
such as poverty, disease, orphans, clean water, etc. a real priority.
What do you think about that? -
Graham:
None of that is our mandate. Jesus never said, "I want you to go
out and alleviate the poor in the world." ...So many churches and
so many pastors today are going directions Jesus never told us to go
into. He said, "you'll always have the poor with you." -
TG:
Do you see those works as a door to sharing the gospel and making disciples? -
Graham:
That's the if. If they do it, sure. My grandparents were missionaries
to China. They took modern medicine to China. Why? Because the Chinese
people had no medicine. My grandfather, a surgeon, saved people's lives
so that he could preach the gospel. -
If the social program comes first
and then if you can, you try to work the gospel wedge into it, that
won't work. It has to be the gospel first. -
You go, why? Because Christ
died on the cross. He shed His blood on the cross, and that's why I'm
going. And by the way, if I see somebody hungry, I'm going to try to
feed them. If I see somebody that needs some medicine, I'm going to
give them that. If I meet somebody who just needs an arm around them,
I'll hug them and tell them God loves them. -
But I'm going because Christ
told me to go into the world and make disciples. He never told me to
go feed people. He never told me to go try to make people feel better.
He told me to preach the gospel. -
TG:
To what extent do you think Christians should be involved in helping
to usher in the kingdom of Heaven now, on Earth? Should we be trying
to redeem our culture? -
Graham:
First of all, the Bible didn't tell me to do that. I can't Christianize
this culture. The god of this world is Satan - this is his culture.
He is the god of this age. I'm to preach the gospel. .... God is calling
a people for Himself. I don't know whom He's calling, I just have to
be faithful and preach. -
Later
in the article, Graham stated, point blank: “We need revival. Our
churches are dead.” -
I think most Christians who regularly read this
column already know that, but it was important to hear him say it. -
After
having visited many such churches in and around the very home of the Southern
Baptist Convention here in Nashville, Tennessee over the last ten years,
I couldn’t agree more. -
And, I don’t say that with any presumed
piety, personal innocence or lofty, Mr. Know-it-all kind of attitude.
I say it with a deep sadness, frustration and desire to wake up sleepy,
jaded and distracted Christians and their pastors who apparently don’t
recognize the seriousness of the situation or the urgency of the hour. -
One
evangelical tactic addressed in the article that I vigorously disagree
with concerning both the Billy Graham Association and Franklin Graham,
is the blatant use of popular music styles (and celebrities, I might add)
in their crusades to help draw crowds. -
Samaritan’s Purse also hands
out church-donated toys at Christmas to appeal to children and their parents
on the mission field as a way to gain their favor and make them more receptive
to the gospel. -
Jesus
never did either of these things and neither should we. -
Although He fed
the masses on more than one occasion to demonstrate God’s love and
power, there’s no biblical record of the Lord using food or anything
else of a carnal nature to lure people in to hear Him preach. -
In my view,
these pragmatic and people-pleasing practices are just another form of
religious bribery that has now become the modus operandi of most churches
today, which I believe, in no small part, set the stage for the whole
seeker-sensitive church growth movement that has successfully undermined
the gospel and steered the Church at large toward evangetainment as its
thrust instead of God’s Word and, in the process, shipwrecked the
fragile, unfed and undisciplined faith of many by teaching them to do
the same. -
My wife
and I visited a typical SBC church not long ago where the orchestra kicked
off the Sunday morning service with something that sounded more like a
television talk show theme than a call to worship. -
I’m sorry –
I don’t care what your tastes in music are – that can’t
be justified. -
Whether Christians realize it or not, synthesizing the sacred
with the secular promotes confusion and a compromised worship atmosphere. -
In all
fairness though, the music minister is a very nice young man with a wonderful
voice who usually leads a blended mix of traditional and contemporary
selections in an attempt to offer a little something for everyone in attendance
– -
a common practice among Southern Baptists and others which, in
my view, only leaves the congregation divided, with everyone impatiently
waiting for their music to be played so they can get in their
three minutes of worship and praise before the next genre is covered that
appeals to someone else’s palate and turns our stomach. -
How
anyone stays focused on God and His Word jumping from traditional hymns
to funky blues tunes to rock guitar solos to jazzy Jesus numbers is beyond
me. -
But, this is the kind of conflict being created by well-meaning church
leaders today acting on group consensus rather than godly conviction.
If we don’t do that with our theology, why are we doing it with
our music? -
We then
went to an adult Sunday school class where the Word of God was set aside
for the entire hour in order to fill out a lengthy church survey on personal
preferences followed by a touchy discussion on the same – -
this after
a half-hour or more of pre-class chitchat, pastries and coffee which concluded
with an array of suggested entertainment-oriented social activities and
restaurants to meet at for informal class get-togethers and what-evers
during the week, which was apparently difficult for many due to all of
the other regularly scheduled activities already committed to with family. -
Friends,
this is what the Church in America has become in the 21st century: -
Christians
trying to figure out where to go and what to do with themselves in this
great big amusement park we call America! -
But,
all of this, I sincerely believe is going to change dramatically –
and very soon. -
And, though there will be a lot of suffering and hardship
in the coming years, and especially in the Church, I am convinced that
when people eventually lose everything worldly and superficial that has,
up to now, seemed so important to them, the faith of some will come alive
as never before while others will continue to seek the flesh in one form
or another, following whoever offers the most gratification for the least
amount of suffering and sacrifice. -
If you
want to properly prepare for dire days ahead, prepare for this. -
When fear,
violence, suffering and uncertainty become the order of the day, there
may be no better time in our nation’s history to share the good
news of Jesus Christ and be the kind of witness for Him that we should
have been all along. -
“And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.” – Mark 16:15 -

The
fruits of tyranny -
There
appears to be a long overdue - now futile - movement that reflects a growing
and increasingly hostile reaction by the people to progressive despotic
governance and the stifling and tyrannical suppression of individual liberties. -
The basic human desire is for individual freedom and the God-given right
to choose one’s own destiny and to follow an unimpeded course in
regard to lawful wants and goals. -
The Creator endowed mankind with free
will and the inalienable right to a determination of one's own fate or
course of action without compulsion by dictatorial forces. -
When that right
is impeded by tyrannical rule, or by forced misguided and equally devastating
political correctness, it stirs within free hearts a sense of rebellion. -
If this state of being persists and there is a failure to react affirmatively
to the rumblings of discontent the next step is civil disobedience. -
If
that fails to reign in the encroachment upon personal sovereignty resentment
festers to the point of open and hostile rebellion, -
and that dear reader
is the direction that we are traveling at the present time in this rapidly
deteriorating nation. -
A righteous
rebellion by justified dissidents will inevitably draw into the fray the
millions of maladapted criminal elements in this nation that live to maim,
murder and destroy. -
This then will hand the tyrants who rule a reason
to declare martial law and will give them an excuse to turn the guns of
their enforcers loose upon society to brutally suppress a rebellion of
their own making. -
This is the way it has been with every oppressive totalitarian
regime in the historical past, and this is the onrushing fate and fortune
of this nation. -
Many
write to ask me the type of reaction I anticipate by the law enforcement
community and by the military to the rebellion that is on the horizon. -
It is my opinion that with few exceptions these will follow orders, and
if ordered to do so most will fire upon and kill their fellow citizens. -
To fathom this it is necessary to understand that those who comprise the
ranks of these organizations are of the new generation, they are new age
partisans that have been acclimated and indoctrinated, under our noses,
in the socialistic doctrines of a one-world order. -
They will do as ordered
in service to their masters. -
One
should not expect the military, the law enforcement community or the majority
of the people to have any discernment in regard to the works wrought by
iniquity and the consequences thereof: -
“And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.” II Thessalonians 11-12 -
THROW
THE BUMS OUT -
Many
writers view the deterioration that is upon this nation in an entirely
secular light. -
They reckon that if the voters would turn out of office
the venal bunch that exists and replace them with new personalities everything
would be hunky-dory. -
They fail to recognize that the new personages will
be drawn from the same rotten barrel and will be possessed of the same
base character as those that they have replaced. Nothing will change. -
I have
differed with many of these writers of opinion and their temporal view
of the on-rushing and cataclysmic destruction that we are about to experience. -
I have always maintained that it is a spiritual problem and the inevitable
result of an egregious apostasy, deep and abiding iniquity and a conscious
and deliberate denial of the sovereign God who rules the universe and
the world. -
I also
note that many of the patriot writers who pen their pieces from a hopeless
secular perspective fail to recognize that the Constitution is dead and
has been dead for a good long while. -
The civil war and the egregious totalitarian
excesses of the Lincoln administration pounded a stake through its heart. -
Since then, when it suits the purpose of whatever administration is in
power, the corpse is resurrected for a time, dusted off, misinterpreted
and misrepresented, and employed to prevail upon the sovereignty of the
people and to bolster and affirm despotic control. -
We ought to play taps
over the Constitution. -
When the people allowed it to be manipulated by
the government as a so-called living breathing changeable instrument it
in fact became a dead and pathetically useless document of words without
force. -
It is
not my intention to question the purport or the sincerity of those who
diligently inveigh for a return to constitutional principles, and I question
not that these principles should rigidly control the actions of the government
and guarantee the liberties of the people. -
The Constitution was a document
perfect in precept, and correct in every detail. It should never have
been altered or meddled with. -
The government should have been forced by
a righteous people to submit absolutely to the Constitution rather than
to allow the Constitution to be altered to conform to the whims of those
who advocate for an autocracy of government over a sovereignty of the
people. -
No person or instrument, other than the Holy Word of God, should
prevail over the Constitution as it was written and amended by the founding
fathers, but it is too late as that cat is out of the bag. -
The
secular line of reasoning for a restoration of the nation by secular means
is already foreclosed, and otherwise resolved, any attempt to continue
with that line of reasoning is futile. In plain words those who advocate
for such are beating a dead horse. -
KILLED
BY DIVERSITY -
We have
been infiltrated by hostile nations of a domestic nature that refuse to
be fused into the population as a whole. They are, and will always be,
of a self-bestowed autonomy and possessed of antagonistic nation within
nation properties. As such they are absolutely inimical to social cohesion
and an effective national focus. -
The
black population over the last one hundred forty years has never collectively
assimilated as a cohesive unit of American society, -
the Hispanic collective
indwells by virtue of a desire for material gain and not by a desire to
assimilate into American culture, -
and the Muslims seem to disparage all
of mankind with the exception of other Muslims and have no desire to submit
to the national authority of the American people. -
Understand
that I do not demean a race, a culture or a religion. I have known the
friendship of individuals of all of the groups that I have addressed,
and valued these individuals always as equals in every respect. -
It is
the obstinate collective refusal to coalesce into a unified society with
a shared national purpose that I address. -
Just as the Vandals and the
Visigoths helped to destroy Rome these dissident groups will contribute
greatly to the final destruction of the United States. -
The
deep ignorance and unlearned disposition of our political and social leaders,
and the blind acquiescence of a deluded people have enabled the importation
of competing cultures via the political correctness route. -
Diversity is
the absolute enemy of a homogenous society and of systemic stability. -
This nation is facing a complete collapse; the very circumstances that
brought down the Roman Empire will bring about the downfall of this nation. -
Uncontrolled immigration, corrupt leaders and a hedonistic and perverse
people are contributing to the coming demise of the United States. -
Our
goose is cooked, we have so displeased the sovereign God that he has brought
about the elements of our destruction, and soon - very soon - His wrath
will rain down upon us. -
Historically God has raised and destroyed seventy-four
civilizations; the reason for the removal of these from existence was,
in every case, deep systemic sin. This nation most certainly fits that
measure. -
IT’S
ABOUT SOWING AND REAPING -
“He
that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him
be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still:
and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:11-12 -
Historians recount a number
of reasons for the final collapse of the Roman Empire; these were circumstantial
elements or components of a single and exigent basic reason. -
Listen
up folks; nothing is going to save this nation. -
The physical
nature of the collapse is not complicated. -
Economic disintegration, the
dissipated condition of the military and a series of failed military campaigns
against lesser foes, egregiously corrupt governance, and a fragmented
and dissident population were the obvious symptoms of an abiding systemic
disease. -
Sound familiar?
-
The single precipitating cause of the ultimate
destruction of the empire was great national sin and a rottenness of spirit.
The carnal depravity of the civilization was a stench in the nostrils
of almighty God. -
The Lord God Jehovah raised Rome up and the Lord God
Jehovah put Rome down, it as simple as that. -
SEPARATING
THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS -
“And
before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he
shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”
Matthew 25: 32-33 -
Like
Rome was - we are - a filthy nation. -
We are a murderous people. This statement
can in no way be contradicted given the blood on our hands from the calculated
and cold-blooded murder of fifty-one million babies, the spirits of which
God holds in His loving hands. -
We are a nation of idolaters chasing after
money and hedonic pursuits, and worshiping the creations of God’s
hands rather than the Creator. -
We are a lasciviously dirty and nasty people
participating in and condoning and promoting sexual deviancies as vile
as those of Sodom and Gomorrah. -
The
enablers that vote to legalize, support, and defend same sex marriages
and sodomy are no less deviant than the practitioners of these despicable
acts. -
It is a bestial practice that even the animal kingdom shuns, and
in our schools we teach our children that such practices are admirable
and worthy of emulation. -
And then we have the audacity - the unadulterated
stupidity - to ask a holy and righteous God to bless this nation.
Come
Soon Lord Jesus -
