Obama Political Appointees Tell DOJ,
"We Want you to Ignore 'Motor Voter Law'”
Of all our Constitution-granted rights, “franchise,” the right to vote is the most essential. Recently, however, Obama’s political appointees to the Department of Justice have adopted a policy of only enforcing voter laws and voter cases in line with the interests of Obama himself. Wiping repeat voters, dead voters and fraudulent voters off the voter rolls; and stopping voter intimidation against White voters is apparently not considered to be in line with the nation’s interest.
In the world of Barack Obama and the Obama administration, “racism” is a one-way street. In that world racism can only be expressed by Whites toward Democrats or Blacks, Hispanics and other minority groups and only by policemen against these same minority groups . . . in the Obama world racism can apparently never occur the other way around.
Today, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is scheduled to file its case against the second of Arizona’s two anti-illegal immigration bills. The specter of this case apparently filed by the Obama administration to agitate some Democratic-leaning Hispanic voters, is troubling enough (the Obama administration is apparently trying to rescind the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution) . . . but Rajjpuut has just learned from friends in the media that the very same lawyers chosen to prosecute that case within the DOJ, have already proven themselves less than competent and more than politically corrupt supporters of Obama style racism. These Obama toadies, in their disposition of a case from Election Day, 2008 involving the New Black Panthers, have crawled through miles of broken glass to give Barack Obama the legal decision he wanted . . .
Of all our Constitution-granted rights, “franchise,” the right to vote is the most essential. The right to vote regardless of race, creed, color, religion or political persuasion is fundamental. The case involved is one where New Black Panther members in Philadephia appear in black or navy-blue military get-up and taunt incoming White voters with racial slurs while one of them brandishes a night-stick. Since political representation in our republic is based upon the democratic principles of one man one vote, one uncoerced vote . . . this is about as serious as any voter intimidation^^ case one’s likely to see. The fact that the man with the night stick is shown in separate video of a separate instance (when he was trying to agitiate passing Blacks on the street) carrying a microphone and shouting, “I hate White people, I can’t stand them crackers . . . we need to kill some crackers . . . we need to kill they (sic) babies . . .” only goes to prove how bankrupt the DOJ refusal to prosecute the voter intimidation case vigorously actually is.
The fact that DOJ members guilty of dropping this case were quoted as opining that civil rights laws were created to protect only the minorities from the majority Whites is shameful. The fact that on top of that, a Black Republican poll watcher was told by the Panthers “not to show your ni__er face” and repeatedly terrorized by the group gives a far more complete picture of the nature of racism and political bigotry by the intimidators. Black’s who don’t follow the Democratic party-line (the Clarence Thomases of the world) are just as much a target as the Whites all too many of them hate.
Equally important but thus far drawing less criticism or attention in the media is the fact that an Obama political appointee, a Ms. Fernandez has commanded a roomful (reportedly 40-50) people) of DOJ employees not to enforce the ’93 motor voter law. Thus under Ms. Fernandez, wiping repeat voters, dead voters and fraudulent voters off the voter rolls; and the aforementioned stopping voter intimidation against White voters is apparently not considered to be in line with the nation’s interest.
Richard Cloward and Frances Piven of “Cloward-Piven Strategy” infamy were present when Bill Clinton signed the motor voter law into effect. Many political observers at the time called the motor voter law “a license for unlimited voter fraud.” Cloward and Piven (after their “C-P manufactured crisis strategy” created the American Welfare Rights Organization which swelled state welfare rolls by eight million persons and bankrupted New York City in 1975 and almost bankrupted New York state) in 1976 called for C-P strategy to be applied to housing (as ACORN did) and voter registration (as Clinton’s law did and ACORN did) and now the Obama folks have decided not to enforce even greatly weakened voter laws. If voter franchise is the most cherished right in our republic, then voter registration fraud is its greatest threat.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,

Democrats and the media ignored this corruption just as willfully as Democrats and the media are now ignoring the New Black Panthers' atrocities.
** Now lets talk about even earlier (2007) when Raila Odinga in Kenya asked for Obama’s help and . . . .
A. Obama then went campaigning for a communist Odinga for the presidency of Kenya
B. Obama at campaign stops for Odinga twice appeared in Muslim garb
D. Odinga signing a secret letter of accord with the Muslims (roughly 12% of Kenya’s
population are Muslims, there are several other religions represented in Kenya with Christianity
at 43% being the largest) to institute Sharia Law in the country akin to what the Taliban has in
other countries. This agreement was discovered and the discovery basically ended Odinga’s
slight chances of becoming president . . . Odinga said the letter was a fraud and a lie but then
later signing another accord with the Muslims (the original letter was blatant and would have
made Islam the religion of Kenya and made missionary work by religions other than Muslims
against the law and banned radio and television missionary programs as well). The eventual
non-Muslim religions. Odinga never speaking up to stop the violence and indeed benefitting from it.
Obama never acknowledging the violence or his own role in it . . . all of this ties in with the present
In case you have doubts as to why we must remain and stay involved in fighting this soft tyranny, may I offer the famous speech of Patrick Henry's which he made at St. John's Church in 1775. I couldn't even get past the first sentence before I was overwhelmed with emotion.
PATRICK HENRY AT ST. JOHN'S CHURCH in 1775
The speech in its entirety says so much more about the cause for freedom http://bit.ly/9YK2Lp
ARE THE MOSLIMS BUILDING MOSQUES IN ALL THE MANGER CITYS IN THE UNITED STATES ? NOT JUST IN
NEW YORK CITY. ARE THEY AMERICANS FIRST OR MOSLIMS FIRST ? WHY IS THIS NOT BEING REPORTED ? NOT IN MY BACK YARD !
ARF N.Y.S.
Ozell Williams: “Our president and his democratic colleagues continue to boast that the 750 billion-dollar Stimulus Plan has created or saved millions of jobs. They attempt to validate their claim by saying that leading economists and statistics backs up their numbers. What statistics? They believe that most Americans are either stupid or naive enough to believe them!!”
Our president and his democratic colleagues are bull shooters. Ozell is right. Only the stupid and naïve believe them. Last winter we in the Portland, Oregon area experienced a warmer winter than usual and now a cooler than usual summer. Weather patterns come and go as part of a bigger picture. In a similar sense, the universe has patterns that come and go, also affecting our lives. The movement is now from Pisces to Aquarius, from indecision and fear to stubborn determination and independence.
Chaos theory is a study of dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. Small differences in initial conditions yield widely diverging outcomes. This is true in mathematics, in physics, in economics, in philosophy. It is not possible through the force of law to predict a desirable end. The end justifies the means is in La La Land nonsense. It never ever works. Perfection is without movement. Without movement, nonexistence, this is chaos theory. Thus, there are certain precepts of law that have perpetual necessity among all nations, and which absolutely cannot be broken. Nothing ever reaches a state of perfection. Write Sen. Graham and tell him he’s as good as gone with the wind. The Tea Party is here to stay.
Chaos theory was discovered by meteorologist Edward Lorenz in 1972. With computer technology, Lorenz found the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas. In the microcosmic world, likewise, from mathematical deduction it is now known that the smallest excitation of a quantized wave or field, as a photon or phonon, the fundamental unit of a quantized physical property, as angular momentum, and the smallest amount by which its magnitude can change, suddenly and significantly, comes a quantum increase in productivity. In the universe, likewise, the subtle forces from planetary alignments can have great effects on our lives. This has been known for thousands of years as a matter of mathematical deduction. So get real, Americans. You are here with increasing purpose. Washington’s yesteryear answers don’t work. They never have worked and never will work.
and Conservatives and What's to Be Done about It
Liberal Yahoo and the ultra- liberal Associated Press have both shown great insight and generated greater incitement (stimulus to action) for the opposing parties in the November elections and outlined how they’ll probably play out . . . .
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100705/ap_on_el_ge/us_nationalized_election
In the excellent article linked just above, Charles Babington of the AP says that “Democrats and Republicans are framing the elections in starkly different terms, with GOP strategists painting it as a national referendum on President Barack Obama and the party in power, and Democrats working feverishly to make all politics local.” Rajjpuut who, in his school teaching days could boast of coaching several Colorado State Chess Team Champions, agrees whole-heartedly because the art of politics should be successfully conducted as a strategic magic act for the have nots; and a strategic trench warfare for the haves. Just as the Democrats were in most people’s eyes, the haves in 2006 and 2008 (they were perceived as having the issues on their side); in 2010, clearly conservatives have the issues favoring them. In a larger sense, however, this strategic view clearly underlines the failings of the Republican Party to represent the needs of the nation and of its conservatives over the last 109 years as Progressivism^^ has progressively brought the country more and more evil and closer and closer to utter ruin.
When good men fail to act effectively, evil gains a toe-hold. When good men fail to understand their cause, evil makes its case. When good men fail to act, evil comes to power. When good men fail to act and to understand, evil comes to dominate. When good men act wrongly either by failing to act or failing to understand or both evil WINS. This short paragraph outlines why and how the Republican Party has failed conservatives and the country in the past, is failing them now, and will (unless serious change occurs) continue to fail conservatives and America in the future. More on this later
. . . .
When coaching his scholastic champion chess teams, Rajjpuut made a point of hammering away at tactics as a blended-subsidiary to strategy so that whether elementary, middle school or high schoolers were involved . . . the big picture always stood out stark and clear: own the center, develop and coordinate your pieces, before you touch a piece or pawn (touch-move rule in championship events) prefer attack to defense; then stop, ask yourself the question “What could go wrong?” If nothing could go wrong, you’ve selected your move and except for finding a better one which also has no downside . . . you’re moving toward victory. Throw in good tactics and knowing how to crush in the endgame and victory was virtually assured.
This approach was gained from studying management principles at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas via the Kepner-Tregoe Management System . . . clearly the Republican Party could benefit from understanding and complying with good management principles, the basic economic and constitutional imperatives of Republicanism, and the underlying common sense fundamentals of free market economics.
Our neighborhood was recently plagued by a Democratic campaign worker for the more liberal of that party’s senate candidates (Ex-speaker of the state house Romanoff who was running against semi-moderate Bennett. Romanoff had been considering running for governor but didn’t wish to contest the seat against popular ex-Denver mayor and the whole nation is, thanks to Obama’s efforts to influence Romanoff to drop the race against Bennett as well as the Sestak issue in Pennsylvania, aware of this particular race). The fellow was a polite and curious sort and discussed politics with Rajjpuut for roughly 25 minutes. Here’s what impressed him – our progresive opposition -- the most:
1. That our $13 TRillion national debt was the least of our problems.
2. That the $110 TRillion in unfounded liabilities (Social Security, Medicare and the federal side of Medicaid) were not being addressed by either party.
3. That congress had recently done a great thing with its Pay-Go law requiring that before any new spending measure can be passed a way to pay for it either by instituting a new tax or by cutting spending be found . . . . but that congress had since passing that law refused to use Pay-go even once since, just as it had failed to honor the set-asides for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and thus since 1934 has built up that $110 TRillion in unfunded liabilities.
4. That Obama has told the nation his energy policies will “necessarily make the price of electricity skyrocket” and that he’s told the San Francisco Chronicle his policies will “bankrupt the coal industry.”
5. That Obama has promised (threatened?) to create five million new green jobs when green technology is NOT yet viable. That Spain in 1997 led Europe with a booming economy and only 3% unemployment before they turned to green jobs and today Spain has 21% unemployment and is, next to Greece, the weakest economy in Europe. That according to a Spanish study each green job required $667,000 in subsidies which cost the real economy 2.2 jobs. And because only 10% of the green jobs proved permanent (the vast majority lasted from three months to eighteen months) that meant that IF Obama instituted his five million green jobs it was likely that only 500,000 of them would prove permanent at the cost of eleven million jobs in the real (unsubsidized) economy a 22/1 ratio that perfectly explains why Spain’s economy went south.
6. Yes, green tech would be ideal, but green tech is not yet viable. So it would make much more sense instead of subsidizing $677,000 for one green job . . . to subidize instead $6.77 Billion for research for the top hundred winners in green-tech viability from a national contest judged by the best scientists available and seeing if that stimulus can get us a green-tech Edison and a highly desirable green-tech future based on independent American innovation.
7. And tah-dah! more than anything else the following information impressed the Democrat and he took down the particulars to research later on his home computer:
A. This crucial website (the most famous brief essay in ecomics and the simple and utter refutation of Keynesian approaches such as Obama’s stimulus-stimulus and more stimulus approaches) explains what free markets are and what their strengths are:
http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/rdPncl1.html
B. Information about this site:
and after hearing the “one lesson” (from “Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt, linked just above) he too realized that: when you look at economic situations which present themselves you must get the whole picture not just the supposedly desirable government spending stimulus plan. And then illustrating the one lesson with the briefest of fables: “The Broken Window Parable,” which utterly and totally caught him by surprise and clearly delighted him (both linked right here) . . .
http://jim.com/econ/chap01p1.html
Thus we now come to the logical question, how has the Republican Party failed the nation and its conservatives for 109 years? Remembering that Rajjpuut is a Libertarian and NOT a Republican and that the Republican Party is the minority party in this country . . . .
A. Republicans have failed to understand who and what the enemy is. That enemy is and has been Progressivism and Progressives since Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, became the first notable Progressive. Not saying that Teddy Roosevelt didn’t do any good . . . just that he was the first president to champion Progressive causes which later in the hands of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter and to a lesser extent Bill Clinton and George W. Bush led us to our present disastrous economic collapse. Republicans haven’t been able to effectively oppose progressivism and get support against progressivism from would-be conservatives because they don’t understand it themselves.
B. Most Republicans do NOT understand Republicanism (the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution is the most Republican document in the history of the world; and the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights taken in conjunction with the doctrine of Separation of Church and State are by far the most important parts of the Bill of Rights the spark plug for all the other Amendments) and . . . because they do NOT understand Republicanism, they cannot and do not explain Republicanism well and thus educate liberal, Democratic-conservative and independent-conservative voters.
C. Many Republicans continuously and deliberately violate Republicanism by opposing Separation of Church and state in Public Schools. The Founding Fathers (virtually all of them Christian) did NOT set up a Christian nation, they deliberately set up a nation where ALL religions would be welcome but in which no one particular religion could dominate (remembering the problems with England's state supported church) and endanger our freedoms. If you want one reason why Independent and Democratic conservatives are more likely to abstain or to vote Democtat, this is the one.
D. Two isues here, Republican corruption as shown in sexual and business scandals on the one hand and the simple fact that most Republicans have ceaselessly been UNTRUE to fundamental Republican principles such as fiscal conservativism; limited federal government; adherence to the Constitution; protection of our borders; and balanced budgets. Most Americans are conservative on these issues and have been routinely disappointed by Republican candidates promising to adhere to these principles and then abandoning them once in office. ALL Americans are conservative on political integrity.
E. Anti-abortion and even Anti-contraception are linked in much of the public’s collective mindset as Republican values. History has linked the Republican Party to this stance and it is why many women vote for Democrats. If Republicans had a stance that the Independent voter could buy into that would be one thing, and it would probably NEVER cost even one vote. However, Republicans have adopted a losing argument and paraded it before the public as the most visible aspect of Republicanism.
That losing argument is that abortion should be denied to victims of incest; victims of rape; mothers whose health is endangered; very young girls; and other victims in extraordinary cases.
Americans pride themselves on rooting for the underdog and the victim and consider old Republican opposition to contraception and family planning as totally unjustified state interference (10th Amendment again) into their personal lives.
Because that old Republican stance is so unwieldy, progressive opponents have made the Republican Party look outdated and uncaring. Abortion (unfortunately abortion virtually on demand), has been the law of the land for thirty-eight years now. One could argue that abortion (freedom over one’s body in exigent circumstances like those named above) and contraception and the resulting freedom to plan one’s family size and spacing are actually Republican causes, but in any case, because the Republican Party deliberately adopted the losing argument outlined in italics above . . . for most voters abortion on demand by contrast to the obdurate Republican stand seemed preferable. For women, in particular, this hardened Republican anti-victim stand has made the Republican Party a political destination to avoid.
To sum it up: politics is a game of strategy and tactics. The United States Constitution is the greates winning political game plan ever created. The U.S. Constitution is a decidedly conservative document designed to protect state, county, and local freedoms as well as individual freedoms against the ever-present tendency of centralized governments to expand and become more expensive and more intrusive. We are now in big trouble because for roughly 109 years, the Republican Party, the standard-bearer for conservativism has not stood strong against progressivism. In all strategic encounters, the basic rule of victory is this: find a strategic and tactical path that makes your own strengths the single most important consideration at issue and your opponent’s strengths of negligible import, while effectively managing your own weaknesses and exposing your opponent’s weaknesses and making them them of paramount importance. So let it be written, so let it be done . . . .
Right now and for all the foreseeable future, only overt and honorable conservativism (fiscally and Constitutionally) can save us. The Republican Party needs to re-invent itself in light of and in line with the party’s original conservative, Libertarian values (fiscal and Constitutional conservativism, strong borders and strong national defense, and largely a live-and-let- live social** agenda). No single election has been more crucial in the history of our country and the Republican Party must deliver or the nation is quite likely LOST!
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

As we celebrate the 234th Birthday of America, and the spirit of The Founders who pledged their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor to give America the founding documents: The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights....
I think of what President Ronald Reagan said, and how every generation has to fight tyranny:
"Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day, we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
THE LEGACY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Issue Trust Dems more Trust GOP more
Economy 39% 48%
Gov’t Ethics 33% 29%
Immigration 32% 47%
National Security 34% 51%
Abortion 36% 46%
Taxes 36% 52%
Social Security 37% 48%
Health Care 40% 51%
Education 41% 43%
Meanwhile, 40% of likely voters call the Obama administration LESS ethical than most past administrations; 31% believe the current administration is MORE ethical than past administrations; and 26% say they’re ABOUT the SAME ethically as past administrations were. This marks a decided loss of trust for the Obama adminstration in the last year when 54% rated the president’s and his people as more ethical.
As far as Obama, personally, 39% say he is LESS ethical than most past presidents; 28% say he is MORE ethical; and 28% are not sure. Since ethics is the only area in which Democrats have earned more trust than Republicans over the last two months of Rasmussen Reports, the broader base of Democratic officials are not being hurt by the President on this issue.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

I was laying on my back this morning with my left foot out from under the covers. I was awakened a little before six with a tug on my foot. I looked, expecting it to be my wife being cute, but no one was there. My wife was next to me asleep.
This is the Fourth of July, the birthday of the United States. With the ship of state off course and heading for the rocks, I’m reminded that in the Lord’s Prayer, on earth as it is in heaven, now I get a quite different picture than the picture when I was a Christian repeating the Lord’s Prayer. I get a picture that is up to today’s speed, yet, ironically, one that one that dates back to between 147 B.C. and 127 B.C., when Hipparches discovered the precession of the equinoxes, having to do with the rotation of Earth’s axis; that is, the earth’s wobble, like a spinning top, causing the northern axis to point to each of twelve constellations, and each thought to generate certain characteristics on Earth—on earth as it is in heaven—obviously, this comes from ancient star gazers long before the birth of Christ. That tug on my left foot was my conscience reminding me to get up and start writing.
Replacing the American tradition of on earth as it is in heaven, the government of the United States, feeling duty bound, establishing itself as the prime source of earthly benevolences, I’m forced to conclude that the American people are bewitched and needing help in sorting things out.
Reality in today’s America is after me you come first, with government in the lead. Actually, it’s nature’s unbreakable law, the big fish feeding on the little fish. But with on earth as it is in heaven in mind this morning, I ask myself, what was it that caused the planet Earth to form in precisely the right orbit around the sun to allow life as we know it, life that began in the sea, and to develop into beings knowing good and evil. As shown in Hipparches’ zodiac, a map of the heavens, the ages are linked together in progressive order. We humans are here with increasing purpose, so why is progressive government turning the American people into government dependents? Progressive government is against the divine redemption Jesus promised. The next time you Christians repeat the Lord’s Prayer I hope you think about this. And think about this, too: we Americans are our brother’s keepers.
The Age of Pisces is followed by the Age of Aquarius. The sign of Pisces is two attached fish, one swimming upstream, the other downstream. The sign of the Aquarius is the water-bearer to humanity. Water symbolizes where life began, connecting, in my mind, with on earth as it is in heaven. Thinking about these connections, and the characteristics of Pisces, the United States was born under the sign of Aquarius, according to the zodiac. Thus July 4, 1776, represents the water-bearer characteristic.
The American people who formed this great republic migrated from Europe, reminding me that the old-world did not offer them what they were looking for. Being conscious of Pisces—and one swimming upstream, the other downstream—a case of the old being replaced by the new—the water-bearer: on earth as it is in heaven, this morning, thanks to what the ancients left us, I’m consciously aware that with America came the birth of a new age, and along with it increasing purpose. So, what does our high tech world tell us? I felt a tug on my foot this morning, reminding me that I’m an Aquarian messenger. We no longer have to work from dawn to dark to survive. Indeed, this July 4, 2010 we have mass communication, and increasing purpose.
It is inexplicable to me how the ancients, from gazing at the stars, could predict the future. The Mayans got their calendar from the precession of the equinoxes. The Mayan calendar predicts that on December 21, 2012 something ends. I’m not quite sure, but I’d bet my bottom dollar that Obama’s nutty notions end. I doubt very much that our world ends. I’d bet, from what I’ve gathered, that it shifts gears from reverse to forward and moves on down the road faster than ever before.
There has to be some connection with on earth as it is in heaven we’ve yet to discover. The cutting edge of science has discovered the answer. To a growing number of quantum physicists the ancients’ predictions are making sense. The ancients looked to the heavens for characteristics; quantum physicists look at the aspects of matter for their answers. Both the heavens and the aspects of matter are in the same universe but the authorities do not accept this, by reason that they could no longer invent the universe to suit their ideas: big fish feed on little fish. It all begins with the aspects of matter and conscious awareness. The next time you Christians repeat the Lord’s Prayer, think about the fact that in nature there is “Higher Law:” knowing good and evil.
To those with the latest knowledge of the universe, without consciousness the universe could not have matter. Humans were created with the capability of greater conscious awareness, knowing that before anything comes consciousness, a state of awareness, the potential for something. In Gen. 1:1, “In the beginning God created heaven and earth.” Gen 1:2, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” And so to make a very long story short, we come to man in Gen. 1:26: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Obama and his following have an excessive interpretation of man’s dominion—for the good of all it is necessary to take from the rich and give to the poor; for the good of all, that is, in his camp, and the worst for those who are not. Obama has the same idea as Hugo Chevaz.
This brings me to when I came to a jumping off place in my life, my business career on the rocks, and my marriage as well. I found in a second hand law book store law Professor Edward S. Corwin’s essay, The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law. Not what you hear in Sunday school, this is when I parted company with Christianity and assumed we are all God’s children.
Jesus became real when I came to a jumping of place in my life, which, coincidentally, was predicted in the transit of the planet Uranus. I was born in Houston, Texas at 4:51 P.M. C.S.T. on September 17, 1925. Astrologers can tell you I was born with Aquarius rising, which means that my ruling planet is Uranus, and on Good Friday 1975 that I would be under great pressure to change my life. I was thirty-five years ahead of the times.
Corwin’s essay inspired me to go to the county law library and study my Constitution, as differentiated from the Constitution interpreted according to today’s needs by judges. As I read, I had the feeling that voices from the past were personally speaking to me, encouraging me. I had a bigger than life calling, the same as growing millions of American are now getting, knowing they are at a jumping off place. The Constitution turns out to be “Darling I Am Growing Old;” “There’s gonna be a change in the weather, a change in me, nobody wants you when you’re old and grey.”
It isn’t everyone who would take positive action against the most powerful nation on earth. By nature, neither leader nor follower, I’m independent, when I read the Constitution, it was a proper fit and I acted accordingly. I took the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to court. But that was a no-no in 1975. I was one of those nasty, self-serving tax protesters America’s free press railed against. Fudging judges reported to the press that I was a “a spurious constitutional objector.” Judge Quelly, my tax court judge, took me into is chambers, took off his robe, and said, “man to man, why do you think you shouldn’t pay your taxes? My response: “Because, as I read my Constitution, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue is violating my constitutional protections.” Judge Quealy: “Well you are wrong. The Commissioner made a mistake. It will be corrected in this court.”
As it turned out Judge Quealy was wrong and I was right. By taking the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to the Supreme Court, I know something the public does not know. The IRS has been entitled by your government to make unlimited mistakes against taxpayers in order for self-serving politicians to entitle other people. It’s Roosevelt’s legacy—the means is justified by the end. Read my blog, “A Word on Government Entitlement.”
The United States does not stand for American values. It has clearly overturned the balance of power my Constitution gave the American people—has turned the ship of state around and headed our freedoms for the rocks. The current lawless renegades in control of American lives were forced to admit to the world on the front page of The Palm Beach Post that they had lawlessly confiscated my property. So, now the frauds, having painted themselves into a corner, those you vote into office, are anything but your friend.
Christians, the next time you repeat the Lord’s Prayer, think about what I’m telling you. You don’t know the power on earth as it is in heaven gives you. You, personally, are connected with the consciousness of the universe, which is impersonal yet generous, benevolent, and patient, encompassing a love for all. The consciousness of the universe desires to apply its energy to universal service. This is what the ancients said. So, Let us make man in our image.In light of the present circumstances, interpret the Scriptures, and your Constitution, for yourselves. Let your own intuition interpret. For you and your eternal soul are here for a specific purpose in this space-time universe. It is your unique chance to improve man’s image. I hope that tug on my left foot reminding to write this has helped.
Lastly, because Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), his usual ill-advised self, says that the tea party movement is “unsustainable” and will “die out” because it lacks vision, I’d like to say, God bless this July 4, 2010. The American people are waking to the fact that we are not spectators. We are each part of the action.
Keep in mind, my Christian friends, as we proceed to turn the ship of state around, the Pisces characteristic, desperate to do the right thing but weak willed, like Sen. Graham, the Aquarian characteristic, strong willed and determined, this time in history was predicted by the ancients. Bye bye, Sen. Graham. It’s been nice to know you.
On earth as it is in heaven, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
Barack Obama is still highly interested in “redistributing the wealth.” This is a process known as socialism. The standard way of describing socialism is that “misery loves company.” That is, in enforcing their ballyhooed “equality,” socialistic countries bring the populace down to a miserable level of existence.
If that’s true, and Rajjpuut suggests it largely is, than perhaps capitalism ought to be described as “a rising tide raises all boats.” What does that mean? Let’s start with that poverty line statistic: 15% of Americans, 40 million that is, live at or below the poverty line standard of $22,000 income for an urban family of four. But the “rough conditions” for the nation’s poor have been documented over the last twenty years and the results are surprising . . . in a 1990 study talked about below, Nationwide, some 22,000 "poor" households actually had heated swimming pools or Jacuzzis.
"Poor" Americans both then and today are better housed, better fed, and own more property than did the average U.S. citizen throughout much of the 20th Century. In another 1988 study, the per capita expenditures of the lowest income fifth of the U.S. population exceeded the per capita expenditures of the median American household in 1955, after adjusting for inflation. There's that "rising tide" of capitalism Rajjpuut was mentioning. But Obama would have us all equal just a bit above the poor folks' level.
The poverty line established by the Department of Health and Human Services in 2009, means sadly that the average "impoverished" American lives better off than at least 88%^^^ of the world’s peoples. For example: Robert Rector, the researcher at the Heritage Foundation collected data in 1988 and published in 1990 from several government sources for a report titled “How Poor Are America’s Poor?” Recently the study was redone ahead of the new census and conditions for American poor had improved further yet from in the relatively “wealthy” earlier study, today:
- 43 percent of all poor households own their own homes, the average home having three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, a garage and a porch or patio.
- Two-thirds of poor households have more than one room per person, and the typical poor American has more living space than the average — not necessarily poor — individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, and other European cities.
- 80 percent of poor households have air conditioning, nearly three-quarters own a car, and 31 percent own two or more cars.
- 97 percent of poor households own a color television, more than half own two or more color TVs, and 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
- 89 percent own a microwave oven, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.
Walter Williams, an economics professor at George Mason University and a syndicated columnist, writes in the Jewish Daily Review after examing and analyzing the study, “poverty as it has historically been defined barely exists in the United States.” He added lower income households are “poor” only in relation to the rest of the American population, but not compared to the rest of the world. Material poverty can be measured relatively or absolutely,” Williams observes. “An absolute measure would consist of some minimum quantity of goods and services deemed adequate for a baseline level of survival. Achieving that level means that poverty has been eliminated.”
Poverty levels are typically decided upon by the census bureau. A key reason that the Census undercounts the financial resources of the "poor" is that, remarkably, it ignores nearly all welfare spending when calculating the "incomes" of persons in poverty. Thus, as far as the Bureau is concerned, billions of dollars in in-kind benefits to poor Americans have no effect on their incomes. Out of $184 billion in welfare spending, the Census counts only $27 billion as income for poor persons. The bulk of the welfare system, including entire programs that provide non-cash aid to the poor, like food stamps, public housing, and Medicaid, is completely ignored in the Census Bureau's calculations of the living standards of the "poor." The missing welfare spending that is excluded from the Census Bureau poverty reports comes to $158 billion, or over $11,120 for every "poor" U.S. household.
Williams thinks the Census Bureau's poverty reports should be replaced by a new survey that counts income and assets accurately. With accurate counting, the number of poor persons would be shown to be only a small fraction of the Census Bureau's current estimate of 40 million. Now getting back to brass tacks, perhaps, Mr. Obama ought to help the truly poor by cutting government spending and taxes and allowing the private sector the honor of creating jobs***?
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
^^^ Think of that, our poor are wealthier than 88% of the world's peoples and a good percentage of those wealthier 12% of world citizens are found in this country, so if it weren't for rich Americans, poor Americans could definitely regard themselves as among the very richest folk in the world, capitalism is so, so cruel
Financial Times Limited Reports that GE's CEO
The old song says, “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” well, could it be? Could this be the beginning of the end of corporate sponsorship of naked progressivism and virtual communist candidates who want to gut corporations or want them taken over by ever-expanding and ever- expensive big government? Could “the Naked W-hore, Big Business" be returning to its senses? Could Atlas be shrugging right before our very eyes? YAWN, probably NOT!
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/ed654fac-8518-11df-adfa-00144feabdc0.html
On July 1, 2010, the London, England-based Financial Times Limited on its blogsite (FT.com) ran the story linked immediately above beneath the headline “Immelt hits out at China and Obama” a story coordinated between two writers Guy Dinmore (in Rome, Italy) and Geoff Dyer (in Bejing, China). According to the regretably mostly UNinformed duo of reporters, “Jeffrey Immelt, General Electric’s chief executive, has launched a rare broadside against the Chinese government, which he accused of being increasingly hostile to foreign multinationals.” Gosh, do you think RED China might be tilting the playing field instead of playing nice, Mr. Immelt? Grow Up, little boy!
The article depicted Immelt expanding upon China’s cut-throat methods (and goals?) and then going on to attack the Obama administration for its anti-business sentiment and legislation. Once again, do you think a child raised by a communist mother and communist grandfather whose Kenyan birth-father wrote the essay linked immediately below (which shows us a typical communist discussion of 100% taxes on the rich, takeover of international business firms in Kenya, and the dire need to transfer wealth from Kenya’s White and Asian citizens to its Black ones) might disapprove of capitalism, Mr. Immelt? Again, Grow Up, little boy!
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_eastafrica.html
The story, unfortunately is NOT what it seems to be, here are the facts about Mr. Jeffrey Immelt, GE CEO . . . .
1. GE and Mr. Immelt are in bed with Barack Obama. GE and he personally have not only abetted the campaign funding of candidate Obama but gone out of their way to tie their company into Obama’s pie in the sky “green initiatives” and into the dishonorable lie of global warming (despite the well-known corruption of science in the name of $34 million worth of grants, etc.) and Immelt and GE have been . . .
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936289.ece
doing so from the start. When it comes to Washington bucks, no large corporation gets more attention than GE from the Obama’s administration. Here at home GE and Immelt continuously pour praise on the Obama administration and its goals.
2. GE (traces its origin to Thomas Alva Edison, so one would hope the company would be laissez faire capitalistic to its very core) is the w-hore of w-hores in the business world. GE has monstrous holdings in the media and entertainment industry. When it comes to putting its media money where its media mouth is, it takes just three sentences to let the reader know where GE’s sympathies lie . . . . a) GE’s Spanish-language speaking Telemundo went out of its way to ensure Obama’s election and deliver him 69% of the Latino vote in 2008. b) emboldened by Telemundo Group’s propaganda potential, the owner of Telemundo and various media interests in Latin America and Puerto Rico, and Obama and the Democrats surprised Americans and actually sought to bring into law Puerto Rican statehood this April (even though Puerto Ricans themselves have consistently voted against the idea over the last 60 years) for the purpose of giving Obama a much needed two extra senators and five extra representatives in Congress c) GE owns NBC and NBC Universal and MSNBC the cable news channel which has been infamously kissing Obama’s butt-crack for the last three years even more than the rest of the NBC "journalists" do.
3. GE appears to have the inside track for receiving boons to corporations if and when Obama passes his promised legislation “creating five million new green-tech jobs” (Rajjpuut's readers remember that in the Spanish green-experiment taking that country from 3% unemployment in 1997, to 21% unemployement today . . . 22 permenant real jobs in the real economy were lost for every permanent green job because 2.2 real jobs were lost for every single $677,000 subsidized green job created and only one in ten of these green jobs eventually proved permanent).
4. GE is even tied into CCX (the originally Obama-directed Chicago Climate eXchange) which will prosper wildly when Obama's and the progressive** Dems ill-advised cap and trade bill becomes law.
So then, the semi-confused reader asks, ". . . these two reporters for Financial Times Limited got the story wrong?"
No and yes, they reported what Immelt said, exactly what he said. The problem is that if you report on a corporate lamb in corporate wolf’s clothing like Immelt and GE (when they can afford to dress so in foreign lands), it just helps to know the big picture and get that big picture across or the full truth will be lost in the shuffle. Mr. Immelt was trying to impress big European bankers as well as her corporate CEOs, top execs and other bigwigs “at a private gathering in Rome” that he was a realist and a capitalist and well on top of the global situation (where China is using semi-capitalism on top of unveiled ruthless communist techniques tied into spying, piracy and unfair trade practices to eat the rest of the world’s lunch, profitwise). Mr. Immelt presumably didn’t even bother to ponder that via the internet his “unkind” remarks would get back to American audiences.
Accordingly, GE has issued a no-denial denial^^ saying that Mr. Immelt’s words “were misinterpreted, taken out of context and reported inaccurately.” Horse sh_t! GE-sundheit! (Rajjpuut hates sneezing while blogging).
GE, you see, still needs to sell products to China. GE, you see, still needs to be allowed close enough to Barack Obama to run their corporate tongue over Barack’s backsi__ so the great man will continue to favor them . . . you get the idea . . . . hence the non-denial denial by the GE board of directors. Always a bad idea to let a little truth slip, Mr. Immelt.
Yes, China is a ruthless mafia-like entity that may someday soon dominate the entire world’s economy and yes, Barack Obama as you’ve stated, Mr. Immelt, “does not like business and most business (other than GE) does not like him.” Jeff, baby, you even went so far as to praise German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her defense of German industry and commitment to spending cuts and tax cuts (while Obama encouraged all of Europe and the G-20 to continue with the stimulus-stimulus-and-more stimulus spending ideas he’s so in love with) . . . but that doesn’t make you a good guy, Mr. Immelt, quite the contrary. It makes you an unimaginable phony and very, very dangerous to freedom lovers and American patriots.
You and the GE board of directors have taken a mighty and once great American corporation and sold out the principles of capitalism and integrity and corrupted her just as ex-British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward and BP’s board did. BP, by becoming Obama’s biggest oil-company campaign contributor, got in bed with the devil too. Not surprisingly, BP, much like GE owns 7.59% of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. a London-based company that owns Mr. Obama’s Chicago Climate eXchange . . . not surprisingly both GE and BP will presumably make more money if cap and trade legislation passes, (for doing nothing but collecting your share of the carbon-trade commissions) than they now do by drilling for oil. And not surprisingly, you two who have sold out the magnificent principles of integrity and capitalism will gain your largesse by raping the American taxpayer, and . . . all the while America waits in vain for its John Galt.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
^^ Mr. Immelt can thus avoid losing face in front of his European contacts
** Unfortunately, while 95% of Americans think they know what a progressive is, only about 10% do know. A progressive is an ultra-leftist who wants to "progress" beyond the limitations of the "outdated" U.S. Constitution just as Barack Obama does. However, Barack Obama is telling the truth when he says, "I am not a socialist, I'm not," because technically a "socialist" who's interested in 100% taxes and 100% take over of the means of production is a communist, which he is, which is how he was raised. Of course, his first autobiography (ghostwrit by Bill Ayers the Weather Underground '60's bombplanter) "Dreams from my Father" has not been vetted by the media . . . most Americans have never heard of this book, nor has his whole background nor that of those closest to him ever been vetted. Barack is a saint and stories that put him in lesser light or stories contrary to his agenda (like the Climate Gate one linked above) canNOT be aired or printed by the mainstream media.
On July 8, 1947, roughly 63 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a burro ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force, various American intelligence groups and other federal agencies. However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following famous people were born:
Hillary R. Clinton
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
These sort of things often occur whenever aliens breed with donkeys. Why should we expect their offspring to oppose amnesty for illegal aliens.

Al Gore Buys Second Mansion While Preparing
to Become Hundred-Billionaire off Cap and Trade
“Crazed sex-poodle” Al Gore may be currently exciting the tabloid news readers with titilating stories from a long ago night in Seattle, but making fun of him is a dangerous policy akin to making fun of Adolf Hitler’s Charlie Chaplin moustache. “Do as I say, not as I do” Al Gore has for years excited the mainstream liberal media with his tales of global warming. The man’s own energy use is absolutely awe-inspiring. According to his latest escapades, not satisfied with a Tennessee mansion that uses 24 times as much energy as the average household, Gore has just closed on a California mansion that is even more imposing.
Then there are not one but two private jets . . . no wonder Mr. Gore, while testifying on cap and trade on Capitol Hill, took much umbrage and refused to answer directly when Marsha Blackburn Republican Representative from Tennessee (Gore’s state of origin) asked him, “Is this item you’re testifying on today, something from which you’ll personally profit?” Gore became snitty and insinuated she did NOT know his history. Well, the thing is . . . ALL that those of us who DO know Al Gore’s history (he did NOT invent the internet) can think of is the word “huckster.”
But the bigger surprise is that Gore (who’s already almost become a billionaire plying his “Global Warming” presentations to confirmed greenieholics) would presumably become a hundred-billionaire if Cap and Trade becomes law in America. This would occur because Gore’s London, England based company Generation Investment Management (GIM) is one of the biggest owners of Chicago Climate eXchange (CCX) an Obama originated entity set to profit in cap and trade monitoring. This might mightily surprise the liberal London Times which for a long, long time was a big believer in global warming and cap and trade schemes:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936289.ece
The Times link is an article on what’s called Climate Gate in Europe. Mainstream media in America do not publish stories contrary to the policies of people like Gore and Obama . . . speaking of Obama . . . .
Remembering that CCX aspires to become the “New York Stock Exchange of Carbon Trading.” One of the founders of Chicago Climate Exchange was indeed Barack Obama. Al Gore; Barack Obama; and such mutual friends of Obama and Gore as the company Goldman Sachs and about ten of its bigwigs individually; more than a dozen progressive (“We must progress beyond the outdated Constitution”) foundations such as the Tides Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the World Resources Institute, Center for American Policy, Alliance for Climate Protection; Green Mountain Energy, The Shores Bank (which liberals recently bailed out with private funds rather than undergo the public scrutiny of its records), the World Bank, etc., etc. (looking them over and the incestuous relations among them one is immediately struck by the thought “money laundering”); and such notables as Bill Ayers (brother to the bombplanter), Richard Sandor, Joel Rogers, Maurice Strong, the Clintons, George Soros, ad nauseum.
Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle he proudly claimed his policies will “bankrupt the coal industry;” and he’s often said and at the link below tells the selfsame San Francisco Chronicle, “my energy policies would necessarily mean that the cost of electricity would skyrocket.”
Imagine now, if you will, President Grant in 1868 promising to harness the energy of electricity for every American household by 1876 (the end of his second term). Well, as with green technology today, 2010, in 1868 there was no Thomas Edison and virtually all American households didn’t get electricity and running water even and indoor plumbing until roughly 1928, sixty years later. Obama’s saying it’s so (and Gore’s saying it’s so) does not mean that green technology is viable today or will be viable even in thirty years, now does it? Where is our Edison? But, not to worry the complete collapse of the American Economy will mightily profit Gore, Obama, Soros, Sandor, and their ilk and they will rule us in perpetuity.

After the Obama Administration made their decree to endall of piracy including activation workarounds which have actuallyfreed Microsoft paying customer slaves from being forced to pay forevery personal computer or sometimes even paying for the same computerthey had a license on because they activated too many times in a year,now the U.S.Immigrations and Customs Enforcement which has usually neverusually had jurisdiction over the Digital Internet, has now just shutdown nine domains in an instant.
This is scaring me because if they can shut down 9 websites over a Federal Decree what could they do to truth sites, activist website, teaparty websites, and other web sites Obama wants to kill. So a while agowhen I made that emotional video calling Obama a new Hitler and askinghim why he wants to kill us I was actually right on the mark that Obamais the new Adolf Hitler and that his goal is to stifle free speech andhave us under complete control as a slave to the Government and theCorporations which makes it fascism.
Right now it's a corporate takeover by the International banking elite, the World Trade Organization, and the United Nations which hasalso taken a fight against copyright violations.
So my concern isn't whether piracy will survive or not right now but after seeing how those domains got quickly and easily seized without acourt trial first proves that any website can now be taken down under adecree by the Executive Branch Authority Barack Hussein Obama.
If you want proof go check out these websites for yourself and you'll believe me:
http://filespump.com/index.html
http://www.movies-links.tv/index.html
TVShack.net
Movies-Links.tv
FilesPump.com
Now-Movies.com
PlanetMoviez.com
ThePirateCity.org
ZML.com
NinjaVideo.net
NinjaThis.net
When you go to any of these pages you get the following message:
Transcript ofthe image: This domain name has been seized by U.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement, Special Agent in Charge New York Office inaccordance with a seizure warrant obtained by the United StatesAttorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and issuedpursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 981 and 2323 by the United States DistrictCourt for the Southern District of New York.
It does say a search warrant but usually in the past with sites like Isohunt, TorrentSpy, and other file sharing sites, whenever any site isunder fire for piracy suspicion, the domain was never snatched or seizedand the site owner usually leaves a message whenever a court order isthat the website is taken down. Now instead of owners leaving asarcastic remark or criticizing the president they snatch the domain andput their pretty little threats on the site as well as a eagle makingout like their serving Justice under Obama when in reality theCorporations are only enslaving the World and getting rid of legalcustomers having the rights to crack their activations because they feelthey have paid hundreds of dollars to be enslaved and forced to benddown to ask their masters if it's ok to install Windows on theirpersonal computer.
The corporations are telling you to bend down and take your beating while giving them trillions in tax payers dollars and bailotu money.
So again what is scary about all this is if this can happen to piracy sites then if Obama where to make another decree to go after allpolitical and free speech websites such as "Oh there is plenty ofAmericans and Klu Klux Klan members that are out to kill and threaten metherefore under my Administration we will shut down all of the freespeech websites because this allows KKK members to attack me unfairlyand make threats openly. That is not acceptable and we will go after allhate speech sites" and since Obama has already passed the laws for HateSpeech crimes and other anti free speech bills all he has to do is makeus out like we hate Obama and we can pretty much be shut down and thiswill happen to us:
Yes thats right with Obama's executive decree and a Free Speech crackdown can mean that my website USWGO Alternative News can be shutdown at any time for almost any reason he can snatch me away in somevan, take me to some detention center, and/or shut down my website andput a warning like they did on the piracy websites.
To me this is another silent threat just like getting the Mexicans angry at Americans and wanting to kill them with axes and shovels. Thiswhole anti-piracy crackdown is just another threat against free speechsites because first it will be piracy, then the religious sites, thenthe alternative media, and then they come for us because we didn't stopthem when they started crusades instead of bringing more jobs as Obamapromised during his campaign for president.
The 9 piracy sites shutdown is actually a threat against big truth sites like 9/11 truth, WeAreChange, InfoWars, PrisonPlanet, USWGO,Natural News, FederalJack, Nanny State Liberation Front, and othertruth/activist sites that are now in danger and the threat Obama issilently given to us is "Yeah!!! This is what we are going to do to allyour domains, if you challenge us or make us look in da media we willshut down your websites the same way we shut down those piracy sites! Wemake the laws and we choose what we enforce! We can allow illegalimmigrants while stifling free speech because of NSPD 51 which makes me adictator and congress is just a ceremony".
So in reality this has nothing to do with piracy this is about how fast sites are being taken by the Obama Administration and what theycould do to your website...
Also now with Kagan a pro Obama and pro socialist getting to top positions of the Supreme Court now Unconstitutional laws can be acceptedNationwide which means that ICE and the FBI can seize domains in thefuture of all truth and activist political sites.
Rajjpuut has a pretty shameful story to tell you. A story involving the progressive (We need to progress beyond that outdated Constitution”) politicians’ cap and trade bill, British Petroleum, Al Gore and Barack Obama and all the “usual suspects tied into the shameless Chicago Climate eXchange (CCX), and an incredibly incompetent Ken Salazar and MMS (oops we mean an incredibly incompetent Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement now run by Ken Salazar). There’s plenty of blame to go around, but after doling out accurately and precisely the obvious and semi-obvious blame . . . it’s time to point out what seems to be a potential conspiracy. But, more on that after we take care of “ordinary business” first.
Barack Obama recently claimed during part of his non-ending speechifying that “the Buck stops here” while then going on to blame the Bush Administration for the Gulf oil spill within the next three minutes. Now, ten weeks and counting since the explosion that killed eleven men and caused this disaster, it’s time enough for settling responsibility and doing so accurately. It’s obvious the British Petroleum explosion and ensuing Gulf of Mexico oil Spill is a horrendous environmental disaster. British Petroleum is getting the vast majority of the criticism but in truth, the federal government’s Minerals Management Service (MMS which has now changed its name to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement --a la Nancy Pelosi changing the name of the “public option” to the “citizen’s option” when she was trying to win Obamacare votes) . . . in any case, MMS signed off on safety requirements, not met, from regulations passed in 1990 and 1994 and in Rajjpuut’s eyes MMS, whose job was to protect us from exactly this sort of thing . . . MMS bears most of the blame for the explosion and fire and leak, here’s why . . . .
Most distressing, ten fire booms were required by law to be on the site when in fact there were zero, none, nil, zip, nada to stop the fire. MMS was so deliriously incompetent that they were in the process of awarding BP a safety award for that very same Macondo Drilling Site where the Deepwater Horizon operated. All this becomes even more troubling when you realize that BP began having problems with the Macondo site and mysterious “cracks” as early as February 3rd of this year. At first they did not seem serious, but by February 13th, ten days later, they were acknowledged to be worth reporting and MMS and Ken Salazar and Barak Obama came into that knowledge then or shortly afterward. The American public was never informed.
One University of California engineer described an incident that then happened shortly after this, this way: “I’m telling you, they almost blew the whole damn rig sky high.” Now, if there were ever a time for MMS to insist upon full implementation of safety measures and to “call a moratorium on drilling” at the Macondo site until everything was 100% copasetic and to call in those ten fire booms . . . this was the time. But this was never done, was it even contemplated? Again, the American public was NOT informed. Salazar has not been called to task for his failures which is what Obama would have done were he a strong leader . . . and Obama has still not informed the American public of the full listing of BP problems ten weeks before the explosion or the full listing of MMS failures. Instead, apparently with his approval MMS has changed its name. Now that’s really taking responsibility, Mr. Prez!
So the explosion and SPILL can be blamed about 52% on MMS and Ken Salazar the Secretary of the Interior; about 48% on British Petroleum and roughly 100% of the cover-up of the early problems and not informing the public, can be attributed to Salazar and Obama. ‘Nuff said, now there’s the matter of the clean-up (before we get to the incredible little ‘potential conspiracy’ that needs to be unearthed for our readers) . . . .
While it’s well-known that Barack Obama has never once taken any responsibility for any problems of his administration, the Buck really does stop with him. How surprising is it that after a fire and an explosion that an oil spill might occur? Here it is on his and Salazar’s watch and absolutely NO PROACTIVITY takes place. From his days studying Kepner-Tregoe Management techniques, Rajjpuut can tell you that the first question out of the mouth of Obama and Salazar needed to be, “An explosion, what else could go wrong?” And they needed to be have Salazar on site and the president informed from the get-go. And within hours when it’s known that oil is leaking . . . a plan to avoid the hideous problems we’re now facing needs to be in place to save the beaches, the jobs and the wildlife as much as possible. Let us put 70% of the blame on Obama (the buck stops there) and 30% upon Salazar for not knowing enough about simple management principles that they could immediately spot that oil on the beaches, and oil ruining fishing and tourism was a very likely potential problem they needed to deal with. Obama has repeatedly said he and his administration was “on it” from day one . . . well, once again “Day One” was actually February 13th and they certainly weren’t “engaged” back then. And “Day One” after the explosion didn’t show any engagement either . . . but, in any case, the real problem comes now down to Barack Obama’s total lack of leadership – total lack.
The unions that are so vital to Barak Obama don’t want foreigners coming in to help the clean up . . . so Barack Obama refuses to waive the Jones Act so that none of the 14 nations (many with extensive clean up expertise and clean up experience) who volunteered their time, effort, manpower and expertise to help with the clean-up have been allowed in to help by Obama himself. Obama, only had to say, “that’s nonsense” we’ll take whatever help we can and we'll take it now and then waive the Jones Act, his precious unions be damned.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has in at least fifteen different instances proved to be severely delaying the clean-up, and blocking the clean up, and blocking the protection of the beaches and wetlands, and blocking removal of the oil from the Gulf itself. What? I hear you saying, the EPA is delaying the clean-up? the EPA is blocking the cleanup? The EPA is blocking protection of the beaches and wetlands? The EPA is blocking removal of oil from the Gulf itself? Yes, that’s exactly what the EPA is doing.
Item: The EPA insisted upon running “environmental impact studies” over several weeks before allowing much clean-up activity to even begin. They're worried about little problems ten years down the road, when Aramageddon approaches?
Item: The EPA has decided that virtually no berms, preventing the oil from reaching the beaches and wetlands can be built.
Item: The EPA has decided that all skimmers which remove the oil must comply with ordinary EPA standards (rather than creating emergency standards in keeping with the emergency situation) and others canNOT skim the oil . . . so by insisting that helpful ships not be allowed to go 10% over ordinary very tight standards they have allowed virtually 100% of the oil mess to stay unskimmed.
Item: the EPA has insisted that 200 skimmers located elsewhere cannot come to the Gulf because they just might be needed in an emergency right where they are now. Let’s see once big accident in 30 years of offshore drilling, what are the odds?
Item: the EPA has not approved of even one from the over 2,000 ideas that have been generated by concerned Americans and American businesses for deep clean-up of the spill on the beaches and wetlands. Some of these ideas are so simple and so cheap (like bringing in hay and domestic plant refuse such as corn stalks to soak up about 70% of their weight in oil) and so effective one can only wonder how much better the situation would be if they’d been in place, say from Day three.
1. Get all the information possible from all the credible sources possible
2. Understand what is going wrong, and what must be done about it
3. Among all the possible goals, understand what is crucial, what is merely necessary, what is just “nice”, and what actually impedes success and progress . . . that is set priorities for goals
4. Communicate that big picture and those priorities
5. Keep monitoring the situation closely
It’s safe to say that Salazar and Obama have missed the boat continuously and are still missing it today when it comes to clean-up and prevention of oil spill related problems for the people of the Gulf. Barack, in particular, has routinely and continuously been saying things that aren’t so, (“on the job from Day One?”) and it appears that his lying is contagious, for example his Feds have said repeatedly that roughly 140 skimmers were at work, but the maximum counted by aerial survey was a mere 31 . . . but let’s get to the big surprise story . . . something that smacks of an awful and terrible conspiracy . . . say it ain’t so, Barack, say it ain’t so . . . well . . . .
The well-known point of view of the environmentalists; the cap and trade activists; the global-warming activists; the green jobs industry (for which Barack Obama promised to provide five million green jobs); and Barack Obama and Al Gore and Maurice Strong and all their scores of Chicago Climate eXchange (CCX) cronies like Joel Rogers and George Soros and that other GS and its people (Yep, Goldman Sachs owns 10% of CCX) and Franklin Raines . . . the key fact is that they’d all be so much, much better off if oil drilling came to a virtual stop and America immediately transformed itself (with government help and most importantly with CCX help) into a green energy country like Spain (unemployment there now 21% but was only 3% in 1997). Obama’s ridiculous six month offshore drilling moratorium is just one expression of their malevolent eyes turned against the oil industry, never mind that immediately instituting those policies would scoot our way of life back to about 1890 . . . . Ah, but now comes the crux of the matter. Guess who else is indirectly involved in CCX and likely to benefit from passage of the cap and trade bill Obama’s pushing right now? Take your wildest guess . . . we’ll wait. Answer below . . .
Ho Hum . . . .
Ho hum . . . .
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
**Yes, George Soros is the second largest investor in Petrobras (Brazilian Oil) and yes they did recently get a several billion dollar loan from the Obama administration to drill at 14,041 feet, but that’s only small potatoes in the scheme of this horrific scam on the American people . . . . here’s the important stuff: Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle his policies would “bankrupt the coal industry” and he’s mentioned on several occasions that his policies would “necessarily make the price of electricity skyrocket.” Actually that was only a half-truth. Here’s the real truth: The United States economy is $15 TRillion worth of goods and services. Mr. Sandor has fairly accurately stated that carbon-trading (selling blue sky, literally) which adds not a single product or service to the U.S. economy will be a $10 TRillion industry. So without adding any benefit, we will, in effect be taxed $10 TRillion giving us a $25 TRillion economy. All prices will rise on average by 67% ($25 TRillion divided by $15 TRillion = 167%) and entities like ICE and CCX and all those who own and run them (including BP) and non-productive (but non-polluting) businesses created by entities like ACORN and the progressive foundations (mentioned here in the next link) will rob all the rest of us and push our standard of living back 120 years:

So it seems the Gulf oil spill response has been very ineffective with huge amounts of dithering every step of the way? Perhaps that's not consider too bad by BP, Barack Obama, Al Gore and the CCX people?
