Left-wing activists must be held responsible for criminally led activities

Posted by Oscar Y. Harward on December 20, 2014 at 6:00pm

By Oscar Y. Harward

Did 2 New York City police officers die on December 20, 2014 due to the criminally led leaders of public officials?  Should tax-evading Al Sharpton be indicted for encouraging a crime as they walk the streets chanting out: "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_qkvXLuGsc

Should Democrat Party’s President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama’s leading tax-evading Al Sharpton, and others like New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Republican Party Sen. Rand Paul’s unprofessional remarks be held responsible for encouraging the killing of 2  New Your City police officers?

President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Obama’s leading tax-evading Al Sharpton encourage criminal activity to protest, riot, vandalize, loot, and burn their communities.  Al Sharpton leads protestors in New York City as they shouted to what they want was “Dead Cops”.

President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder should be leading the way to prosecute and ascertain convictions to all leaders organizing criminal activity.  Left-wing activists, led by the White House, are destroying our nation; using the First Amendment, ‘Freedom of Speech’ as their ‘Right’.

Sen. Rand Paul has gotten onboard with some leftists as he expresses his desires to put more restrictions onto our Police officers whom face their own deaths daily. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/08/14/rand-paul-police-militarization-makes-americans-esp-blacks-feel-gov-t-is-targeting-them/

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says (y)our police officers are too busy militarizing their police departments.

While Sen. Rand Paul is attempting to attract more minorities into his political camp while he campaigns in an effort to become a GOP candidate for President of the United States, he is criticizing our police officers and their police departments.

 On this issue, it is time for Sen. Rand Paul to fold his campaign tent and become more interested in protecting our US Military, our federal, state, and local law enforcement organization before he assists Al Sharpton’s left-wing criminals who continue to protest, riot, vandalize, loot, and burn others properties.

 To stop the criminal activity, everyone involved, including our political leaders, must be held accountable.

Attorney General Secretly Granted Gov. Ability to Develop and Store Dossiers on Innocent Americans

Posted by David M Batten on December 17, 2012 at 6:40pm

In a secret government agreement granted without approval or debate from lawmakers, the U.S. attorney general recently gave the National Counterterrorism Center sweeping new powers to store dossiers on U.S. citizens, even if they are not suspected of a crime, according to a news report.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Eric Holder granted the center the ability to copy entire government databases holding information on flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and other data, and to store it for up to five years, even without suspicion that someone in the database has committed a crime, according to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story.

Whereas previously the law prohibited the center from storing data compilations on U.S. citizens unless they were suspected of terrorist activity or were relevant to an ongoing terrorism investigation, the new powers give the center the ability to not only collect and store vast databases of information but also to trawl through and analyze it for suspicious patterns of behavior in order to uncover activity that could launch an investigation.

The changes granted by Holder would also allow databases containing information about U.S. citizens to be shared with foreign governments for their own analysis.

A former senior White House official told the Journal that the new changes were “breathtaking in scope.”
