Let's write to Congress (www.contactingthecongress.org or at petition2congress.org) to impeach President Obama. Mr. Obama has given himself unconstitutionally-expanded martial law, war powers, and control of all communications and business in "peacetime and conflict" via Executive Orders. The presidential election was compromised (See http://www.soesoftware.com/media/scytl_press_release_3_5_12.pdf AND http://ncrenegade.com/editorial/2012-election/) and the U.S. Attorney General (Eric Holder) is complicit with President Obama's actions and will not be investigating or prosecuting Obama. So, our only option is to impeach. PLEASE write your own email or send the one below. Note that the short version, which can be cut, pasted, and emailed to your Representatives, is the last paragraph of this Petition. Please also pass this Petition (www.impeachpresidentobama.weebly.com) to others intact and sign it at http://www.petition2congress.com/10013/impeach-obama-treason/
The impeachment process is as follows: 1) Grounds of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors are recognized; 2) The House of Representatives issues Articles of Impeachment; and, 3) The Senate conducts a trial and must have a two-thirds vote to impeach. The penalty is being removed from office and disqualified from further public office.
Title 18 of the U.S. Code defines treason: "§ 2381. Treason. Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office in the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)" (Emphasis added)
Even though President Obama has committed many unconstitutional actions of a traitorous nature, the House of Representatives has been silent. Therefore, it is up to the citizenship to speak up and demand that a hearing be conducted, that Articles of Impeachment be issued, that the Senate impeach President Obama, and that Congress and the courts restore the United States Constitution as the supreme law of the land by striking down any and all government agency regulations, Executive Orders, and laws in opposition to the United States Constitution.
Dear Representatives of We the People:
The Declaration of Independence says:
". . . when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same, object evinces a design
to reduce them under absolute depotism, it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new guards for their future security."
Let it now be a civilized revolution against Presidential tyranny in order to uphold and reinstate the United States Constitution (which includes the Bill of Rights and all Amendments) as the supreme law of the land and to reclaim under and realign our governmental agencies with the United States Constitution. This revolution needs to be done within our system in order to preserve our system. Let us merely reset Presidential power and reaffirm our Constitution and the governmental restrictions therein.
A revolution to reset government is needed because President Obama, on his own initiative and with no explanation, expanded his power under the NDAA and in March 2012 re-enacted, unconstitutionally expanded, and redefined the Defense Production Act by Executive Order (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness), in effect rewriting the law authorizing President Obama's "legal" and in effect takeover of the country, initiating marshal law and war powers even before any crippling attack and with only vague references to national security, defense (effective "under both emergency and non-emergency conditions"), and national disasters, and with no restrictions or time limitations whatsoever, which facilitates his presidency becoming a kingship and his never leaving office.
By unconstitutionally-expanded Executive Order, President Obama has also taken control over all communications, nullified the Second Amendment (http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders), and has signed the United Nation's Small Arms Treaty which, if ratified by the Senate (the vote merely being on hold), will unconstitutionally restrict the sale of small arms to U.S. citizens. Along with this, President Obama has prepared large FEMA camps in almost every state and has unconstitutionally assigned U.S. troops to guard them (See http://info.publicintelligence.net/USArmy-InternmentResettlement.pdf AND http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/browse-career-and-job-categories/legal-and-law-enforcement/internment-resettlement-specialist.html AND http://www.uscg.mil/directives/cim/3000-3999/CIM_3010_14.pdf AND http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/111/hr645/text AND http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/r210_35.pdf AND http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=C67234C7049D2AB2F3D897B805FEFEC2 AND http://www.libertyforlife.com/jail-police/us_concentration_camps.htm). On June 25, 2012, President Obama declared a standing bogus state of emergency (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/06/25/executive-order-russian-highly-enriched-uranium) in order to be able, at any moment, excuse the use of all the inflated and unconstitutional powers he has granted himself.
In addition, President Obama has signed an unconstitutionally-expanded Executive Order making the Department of Homeland Security (See the Order: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/10/26/executive-order-establishing-white-house-homeland-security-partnership-c) to be the all-encompassing and all-powerful United States authority which answers only to the President. Mr. Obama claims his actions are being undertaken to stop terrorists, even though his previous actions have actually facilitated jihad inside the United States. President Obama has prohibited the criminal intent of Islamic jihad, even prohibiting the words "jihad" and "Islam," from being used in the investigation and prosecution of jihad crimes. Therefore, jihadists can now merely claim their actions were accidents and their true intentions (Islamic jihad and the seditious enforcement of Shariah law) cannot be investigated or prosecuted as sedition, hate crimes against non-Muslims, or acts of war. Yet, the Department of Homeland Security can, under this new Executive Order, restrict the constitutionally-protected civil liberties and rights of (United States) law-abiding citizens by directly subjecting them to its undefined and unlimited priorities.
This Executive Order also establishes and mandates "partnerships" between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ALL state and local authorities (and even non-governmental agencies such as churches) in order to "support [non-defined] homeland security priorities." With this Executive Order, President Obama, in effect, voided the United States Constitution and made the United States Government a Socialist/Communist entity with its own self-enforcement agency (DHS). Then, President Obama provided the unconstitutionally-supreme authority of the Department of Homeland Security with its own army. (See http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q42012/homeland-security-graduates-first-corps-of-homeland-youth/?emailListSignupSuccess=1 AND http://www.americorps.gov/pdf/femacorps_faqs_apps_members.pdf AND http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/browse-career-and-job-categories/legal-and-law-enforcement/internment-resettlement-specialist.html).
Concurrently and at a time when we were and are at war with Islamic jihad organizations (al Qaeda and the Taliban) which are parented by the Muslim Brotherhood, he has actively and with United States taxpayer money and troops courted, enabled, supported, and facilitated what he referred to as the Muslim world (global jihad) and enabled Islamic Sharia law enforcement through governmental agencies. He continues to funnel hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood and other factions (such as Boko Haram and other Islamic terrorist groups); and he has worked for the establishment of Islamic democracies (Islamic constitution enforced by Sharia law) around the world. Because President Obama has stated he favors the Muslim Brotherhood and will negotiate with the Muslim Brotherhood there is danger of his signing an Islamic dhimmitude contract in the form of a peace agreement with the Muslim world via the Muslim Brotherhood. Mohammad called such false peace agreements "hudna" agreements. The Muslim Brotherhood's stated goal, since its inception in 1928, has been to establish the Caliphate (i.e., rule of Islamic Sharia law) over the entire world. Therefore, any "peace" agreement with the Muslim world via the Muslim Brotherhood or with any of its factions or with the United Nations (which is dominated by the largest voting block of 56 Muslim nations plus the PLO called the OIC, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) (See http://www.oic-oci.org/member_states.asp AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey-TRpkUiPI&feature=youtu.be), would supersede our Constitution and make United States citizens submit to Islamic Sharia law. We need to prevent such an overthrow of the United States.
President Obama has also taken actions in direct opposition to the supreme rule of the United States Constitution. He has used U.S. troops for international ambitions on his own accord, sending troops into Libya without approval or even consultation with Congress as required by the United States Constitution and the War Powers Act. President Obama simply declared he did not have to address the Constitutional limitations of his office and chose to submit to international consensus instead (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faRjF3-WGVA&feature=player_embedded&noredirect=1 AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geqTT14AXwE) Congress has never approved U.S. troop involvement in Libya, and Congress has legislated that such action by a president is an impeachable offense. Specifically:
"Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution." H.CON.RES.107, March 7, 2012
President Obama has similarly unconstitutionally sent troops into Africa to fight AGAINST the only opposition to the genocidal Islamic jihad happening in the oil-rich countries there, thereby aiding and abetting the genocidal jihad takeovers in Northern Africa. President Obama's declared international "legal basis" for such deployment of U.S. troops makes the United States Military at the disposal of foreign powers/organizations (i.e., the UN/OIC, Arab League, African Union, etc.) and under the authority of foreign law. Such use of the United States Military is unconstitutional. (See http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html)
President Obama and his Administration facilitated the deaths of the Special Forces heroes responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=rqtJrJ40Cio)
In addition, President Obama has been overtly using taxpayer money to "respect" the establishment of Islam and to unofficially enforce Sharia law (which enforces Islamic principles found in the Qur'an and Sunnah) within the United States and all over the world. The First Amendment Prohibition Clause of the U.S. Constitution states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting AN establishment of religion . . . " (Emphasis added)
However, President Obama has been using U.S. Governmental agencies (i.e., regulatory law) to, in his own words, specifically "respect" Islam both at home and abroad, and he is unofficially enforcing Sharia law by making U.S. Governmental agencies and their regulatory law Sharia-compliant out of such "respect." As stated above, he has worked to remove even the words "jihad" and "Muslim" from the criminal investigation and prosecution of jihad crimes against non-Muslims, thus preventing the prosecution of the criminal intent of extracting jizya (tribute by non-Muslims), abusing, raping, and murdering non-Muslims BECAUSE they are non-Muslims and the murdering of those who rebel (honor killing) or convert away from Islam. Such jihad crimes are perfectly "legal" under Sharia law as the Qur'an and Sunnah state, for example:
"The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah." Sunnah: Sahih Muslim 33.
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves." Qur’an 48:29.
"There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die.")." Reliance of the Traveller (sic) 08.4 (Shariah law)
Under United States law, however and for example, to kill someone because they do not share your religious beliefs or to save face (honor killing) is First Degree Murder, but not if their criminal intent is purposely excluded from investigation and prosecution by law enforcement agencies and the judiciary. Under such conditions someone who has committed an honor killing could claim the murder was an accident and there would be no refuting the claim. Such governmental agency policy and regulation unofficially enforces Sharia law.
President Obama and the Obama Administration also knew of the Benghazi attack on the United State's Consulate, an act of war, in real time and military reinforcement was denied! (See http://video.foxnews.com/v/1920570366001/new-information-on-benghazi AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lljKmmZyCiw AND http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-57582929/official-we-knew-benghazi-was-a-terrorist-attack-from-the-get-go?utm_source=newsletter_202&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=joomlacontent-577-type-title) However and instead, President Obama let the jihadists take out the Consulate, kill the Ambassador, and kill the heroes who disobeyed orders to stand down (if there were orders to stand down the distress call was heard and an answer given). Only the President would have the authority to make the CIA and the military stand down. After the fact and like Oliver North, someone is coming forward to ridiculously fall on his sword. The Obama Administration even supplied the weapons used in the attack! (See http://video.foxnews.com/v/1920570366001/new-information-on-benghazi AND http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/) Then, President Obama used the attack as a way to enforce and further Shariah law's criminalization of any analysis of, criticism of, or insult to Islam or Mohammad using the low-budget video of part of the Sira, "The Innocence of Muslims" as a justifiable reason for the attack (i.e., justified under Shariah law). President Obama is also sending F-16's and tanks to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi (See http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/01/22/gift-us-f-16-fighter-jets-en-route-to-egypt-amid-criticism/), and he has even gone to far as to waive any restrictions on tax-payer money sent to the PLO (See: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/02/08/presidential-memorandum-presidential-determination-regarding-waiver-rest). Mr. Obama needs to be impeached for treason in aiding our enemies and seditious facilitation of United States takeover via Shariah law. The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, is the one who would investigate and prosecute the President for treason, but Mr. Holder is apparently complicit in President Obama's seditious agenda and is unlikely to do his job.
In accord with his Marxist and elitist backing, President Obama has also incorporated the United Nation's Agenda 21 plans into his promised "change." (See http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_00.shtml). The "President's Council on Sustainable Development ("Council") was established by Executive Order (NOT Congress) No. 12852, dated June 29, 1993 (See http://clinton2.nara.gov/PCSD/Charter/index.html). The Council is solely advisory in nature, but it shows how seriously the plan has been/is being taken by the Presidency. Agenda 21 essentially restricts the majority of the population into sustainable cities, while the elitists overtly control the majority of the land and its resources, and covertly control the profits and benefits from those resources. It is supported by the United Nation's Biodiversity Assessment (See http://www.un.org/earthwatch/biodiversity/assessment.html) and promoted under the guise of global warming prevention. So, as President Obama courts and accommodates the Muslim world, enforcing Sharia law and giving global jihadists free reign to commit jihad in the United States and all over the world, he also appeases his Marxist and elitists supporters by pushing their unconstitutional Agenda 21, using the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad as allies and the Russian nuclear arsenal to enforce its initial implementation in taking on war powers (see above). Agenda 21 wipes out individual rights and is thus unconstitutional.
In addition, President Obama is not eligible to be President of the United States. The United States Constitution says:
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen
of the United States at the time of the Adoption of
this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
President . . ."
A natural born citizen of the United States, as defined by United States Federal case law and statute, is a citizen who was born in the United States by parents who were BOTH citizens of the United States at the time of birth. There is much evidence of fraud by President Obama in providing a fraudulent birth certificate and covering up his true citizenship. However, even if he was born in Hawaii and is a native born citizen, President Obama's legal father (married to his mother at the time of his birth, no matter what the gossip about his "true" father) was never a United States citizen, and was a citizen of Kenya. (See http://barackhobamafoundation.org/Barack-H-Obama-Sr.html) Therefore, according to the United States Constitution Barack Hussein Obama is simply not eligible to be President. This provision of the Constitution prevented Arnold Schwarzenegger from running for President. When this issue was originally brought up in the Obama/McCain election, an investigation was conducted because McCain is the son of two United States Citizens and his father was in the United States Military but stationed outside the United States at the time of Mr. McCain's birth. However, because Mr. McCain was not born in the United States military hospital where his father was stationed, the Senate conducted an investigation as to his eligibility to be president. A Bill was also introduced to clarify the law and ensure that children born to United States citizens while serving overseas in the military are eligible to become president, but the Bill languished in committee (See http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/s2678). The Senate has never investigated President Obama's eligibility, even though he is not a natural born U.S. citizen. (See http://www.westernjournalism.com/exclusive-investigative-reports/the-mystery-of-barack-obama-continues/)
There have been many attempts to oppose President Obama's actions in and eligibility for the presidency. Lt. Colonel Terry Laken has been imprisoned for refusing to be sent to war by a president who is not a natural born United States citizen as required by the United States Constitution. Lt. Commander Walter Fitzpatrick was arrested because he attempted to bring charges up against President Obama for treason (See http://riseupforamerica.com/). A non-governmental citizen grand jury and trial indicted and convicted Barack Hussein Obama on 14 counts of sedition and treason. The transcript of that citizen trial is found here: http://www.scribd.com/collections/2682941/The-Official-C-I-A-Columbia-Obama-Sedition-and-Treason-Trial-Transcripts. Many citizen militia groups have been formed out of concern for the United States Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein being trampled. Act for America (actforamerica.org) was established to educate United States citizens regarding the dangers of Islamic jihad conquest and calls for the unified reclaiming of Constitutional freedoms and has responded many times to President Obama's unconstitutional actions. Catholic Bishops in the Unites States have written letters to their diocese asking parishioners to pray for and be active in protecting our freedom of conscience specifically relating to President Obama's agenda of abortion funding via Obamacare. The American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and its Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) program is calling for an investigation of President Obama's leaking defense secrets of our ally against jihad terrorism (Israel) to Iran (See http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/8282719338.html). The Tea Party has been working to establish President Obama's ineligibility to be president, believing him to have been actually born in another country. There are many more citizen movements taking place against many of the actions of President Obama and the "change" he has wrought.
President Obama needs to be impeached as a traitor for breaking his oath of office to "PRESERVE, protect, and defend the United States Constitution" (Emphasis added), in unconstitutionally expanding his presidency, via Executive Orders, into a kingship. President Obama is also guilty of treason for adhering to, aiding and abetting the enemies of this country by using taxpayer money to finance the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad and working to replace our Constitution with a Shariah-compliant, New World Order, Socialist/Communist agenda. Also and in the alternative, President Obama is not a natural born citizen (or even native born) and, according to the United States Constitution, he is not eligible to be the president. Please do your duty as a member of Congress and impeach Mr. Obama and his Administration and restore the United States Constitution as the supreme law of the land by repealing/striking down via legislation any and all government agency regulations, Executive Orders, and laws in opposition to the United States Constitution.

Such use of the United States Military is unconstitutional. (See http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html)
President Obama and his Administration facilitated the deaths of the Special Forces heroes responsible for killing Osama bin Laden. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=rqtJrJ40Cio)
In addition, President Obama has been overtly using taxpayer money to "respect" the establishment of Islam and to unofficially enforce Sharia law (which enforces Islamic principles found in the Qur'an and Sunnah) within the United States and all over the world. The First Amendment Prohibition Clause of the U.S. Constitution states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting AN establishment of religion . . . " (Emphasis added)
However, President Obama has been using U.S. Governmental agencies (i.e., regulatory law) to, in his own words, specifically "respect" Islam both at home and abroad, and he is unofficially enforcing Sharia law by making U.S. Governmental agencies and their regulatory law Sharia-compliant out of such "respect." As stated above, he has worked to remove even the words "jihad" and "Muslim" from the criminal investigation and prosecution of jihad crimes against non-Muslims, thus preventing the prosecution of the criminal intent of extracting jizya (tribute by non-Muslims), abusing, raping, and murdering non-Muslims BECAUSE they are non-Muslims and the murdering of those who rebel (honor killing) or convert away from Islam. Such jihad crimes are perfectly "legal" under Sharia law as the Qur'an and Sunnah state, for example:
"The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah." Sunnah: Sahih Muslim 33.
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves." Qur’an 48:29.
"There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die.")." Reliance of the Traveller (sic) 08.4 (Shariah law)
Under United States law, however and for example, to kill someone because they do not share your religious beliefs or to save face (honor killing) is First Degree Murder, but not if their criminal intent is purposely excluded from investigation and prosecution by law enforcement agencies and the judiciary. Under such conditions someone who has committed an honor killing could claim the murder was an accident and there would be no refuting the claim. Such governmental agency policy and regulation unofficially enforces Sharia law.
President Obama and the Obama Administration also knew of the Benghazi attack on the United State's Consulate, an act of war, in real time and military reinforcement was denied! (See http://video.foxnews.com/v/1920570366001/new-information-on-benghazi AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lljKmmZyCiw AND http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-57582929/official-we-knew-benghazi-was-a-terrorist-attack-from-the-get-go?utm_source=newsletter_202&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=joomlacontent-577-type-title) However and instead, President Obama let the jihadists take out the Consulate, kill the Ambassador, and kill the heroes who disobeyed orders to stand down (if there were orders to stand down the distress call was heard and an answer given). Only the President would have the authority to make the CIA and the military stand down. After the fact and like Oliver North, someone is coming forward to ridiculously fall on his sword. The Obama Administration even supplied the weapons used in the attack! (See http://video.foxnews.com/v/1920570366001/new-information-on-benghazi AND http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/) Then, President Obama used the attack as a way to enforce and further Shariah law's criminalization of any analysis of, criticism of, or insult to Islam or Mohammad using the low-budget video of part of the Sira, "The Innocence of Muslims" as a justifiable reason for the attack (i.e., justified under Shariah law). President Obama is also sending F-16's and tanks to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi (See http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/01/22/gift-us-f-16-fighter-jets-en-route-to-egypt-amid-criticism/), and he has even gone to far as to waive any restrictions on tax-payer money sent to the PLO (See: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/02/08/presidential-memorandum-presidential-determination-regarding-waiver-rest). Mr. Obama needs to be impeached for treason in aiding our enemies and seditious facilitation of United States takeover via Shariah law. The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, is the one who would investigate and prosecute the President for treason, but Mr. Holder is apparently complicit in President Obama's seditious agenda and is unlikely to do his job.
In accord with his Marxist and elitist backing, President Obama has also incorporated the United Nation's Agenda 21 plans into his promised "change." (See http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_00.shtml). The "President's Council on Sustainable Development ("Council") was established by Executive Order (NOT Congress) No. 12852, dated June 29, 1993 (See http://clinton2.nara.gov/PCSD/Charter/index.html). The Council is solely advisory in nature, but it shows how seriously the plan has been/is being taken by the Presidency. Agenda 21 essentially restricts the majority of the population into sustainable cities, while the elitists overtly control the majority of the land and its resources, and covertly control the profits and benefits from those resources. It is supported by the United Nation's Biodiversity Assessment (See http://www.un.org/earthwatch/biodiversity/assessment.html) and promoted under the guise of global warming prevention. So, as President Obama courts and accommodates the Muslim world, enforcing Sharia law and giving global jihadists free reign to commit jihad in the United States and all over the world, he also appeases his Marxist and elitists supporters by pushing their unconstitutional Agenda 21, using the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad as allies and the Russian nuclear arsenal to enforce its initial implementation in taking on war powers (see above). Agenda 21 wipes out individual rights and is thus unconstitutional.
In addition, President Obama is not eligible to be President of the United States. The United States Constitution says:
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen
of the United States at the time of the Adoption of
this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
President . . ."
A natural born citizen of the United States, as defined by United States Federal case law and statute, is a citizen who was born in the United States by parents who were BOTH citizens of the United States at the time of birth. There is much evidence of fraud by President Obama in providing a fraudulent birth certificate and covering up his true citizenship. However, even if he was born in Hawaii and is a native born citizen, President Obama's legal father (married to his mother at the time of his birth, no matter what the gossip about his "true" father) was never a United States citizen, and was a citizen of Kenya. (See http://barackhobamafoundation.org/Barack-H-Obama-Sr.html) Therefore, according to the United States Constitution Barack Hussein Obama is simply not eligible to be President. This provision of the Constitution prevented Arnold Schwarzenegger from running for President. When this issue was originally brought up in the Obama/McCain election, an investigation was conducted because McCain is the son of two United States Citizens and his father was in the United States Military but stationed outside the United States at the time of Mr. McCain's birth. However, because Mr. McCain was not born in the United States military hospital where his father was stationed, the Senate conducted an investigation as to his eligibility to be president. A Bill was also introduced to clarify the law and ensure that children born to United States citizens while serving overseas in the military are eligible to become president, but the Bill languished in committee (See http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/s2678). The Senate has never investigated President Obama's eligibility, even though he is not a natural born U.S. citizen. (See http://www.westernjournalism.com/exclusive-investigative-reports/the-mystery-of-barack-obama-continues/)
There have been many attempts to oppose President Obama's actions in and eligibility for the presidency. Lt. Colonel Terry Laken has been imprisoned for refusing to be sent to war by a president who is not a natural born United States citizen as required by the United States Constitution. Lt. Commander Walter Fitzpatrick was arrested because he attempted to bring charges up against President Obama for treason (See http://riseupforamerica.com/). A non-governmental citizen grand jury and trial indicted and convicted Barack Hussein Obama on 14 counts of sedition and treason. The transcript of that citizen trial is found here: http://www.scribd.com/collections/2682941/The-Official-C-I-A-Columbia-Obama-Sedition-and-Treason-Trial-Transcripts. Many citizen militia groups have been formed out of concern for the United States Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein being trampled. Act for America (actforamerica.org) was established to educate United States citizens regarding the dangers of Islamic jihad conquest and calls for the unified reclaiming of Constitutional freedoms and has responded many times to President Obama's unconstitutional actions. Catholic Bishops in the Unites States have written letters to their diocese asking parishioners to pray for and be active in protecting our freedom of conscience specifically relating to President Obama's agenda of abortion funding via Obamacare. The American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and its Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) program is calling for an investigation of President Obama's leaking defense secrets of our ally against jihad terrorism (Israel) to Iran (See http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/8282719338.html). The Tea Party has been working to establish President Obama's ineligibility to be president, believing him to have been actually born in another country. There are many more citizen movements taking place against many of the actions of President Obama and the "change" he has wrought.
President Obama needs to be impeached as a traitor for breaking his oath of office to "PRESERVE, protect, and defend the United States Constitution" (Emphasis added), in unconstitutionally expanding his presidency, via Executive Orders, into a kingship. President Obama is also guilty of treason for adhering to, aiding and abetting the enemies of this country by using taxpayer money to finance the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad and working to replace our Constitution with a Shariah-compliant, New World Order, Socialist/Communist agenda. Also and in the alternative, President Obama is not a natural born citizen (or even native born) and, according to the United States Constitution, he is not eligible to be the president. Please do your duty as a member of Congress and impeach Mr. Obama and his Administration and restore the United States Constitution as the supreme law of the land by repealing/striking down via legislation any and all government agency regulations, Executive Orders, and laws in opposition to the United States Constitution.
A new word from the "weather" media.. Derecho, have you heard it? Know what it is? Here ya go. derecho (də-reh-choh, from Spanish: derecho "straight") is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms.
Now stop and think about this. Is this unusual ? Nope... we get them all the time... but SUDDENLY the new word comes up making a line of thunderstorms into something different than before.
Derecho, what's the underlying possiblity? This word is a spanish word meaning Straight.. just that simple so why the "hype"? Possibility ??? Indoctrinating the SPANISH language into our daily lives ONE WORD at a time. How many people do you know who greet you with the word Hola??? I see it more and more every day. What happened to HEY ! or Howdy ?? Or simply Good Morning ??? That is ENGLISH .. Hola, Derecho is NOT !!!
WAKE UP AMERICA !! Passive Aggressive is the way of TODAY ! Don't fall into this pit of manipulation.
Just a short note to let you know your easy ride is coming to an end. Your false little god is exposed for the cheap street punk he has always been. Now you will likely see the damage he has caused America and, I for one, will not be offering you even a bread crumb unless you work your lazy butt off for it! Wishing you a bitter future along with Obama.

Is There a “Dollar Clamp” in Your Future?
Jeff Thomas, International Man
The photo above shows a queue of people waiting at a currency exchange booth in Montevideo, Uruguay. Only a year ago, such queues were uncommon, but now they exist, literally at every such booth, at every hour of the day.
Are Uruguayans suddenly becoming spendthrifts who need repeated daily infusions of cash to get through each day? No; and in fact, very few of those in the queues are Uruguayan. They are Argentines.
The reason these people are in a foreign country, trying to extract a foreign currency from the exchanges is that the Argentine currency has been devalued dramatically through inflation and is on the way to further inflation. Argentines have understandably sought to bypass the peso in favor of the US dollar, in order to keep from losing their purchasing power any more rapidly than necessary.
In response, the government of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has imposed a "dollar clamp," which is intended to limit the use of dollars by Argentines. Not surprisingly, Argentines are trying everything they can think of to circumvent that dollar clamp, including taking the one-hour Buquebus ride across the Rio de la Plata to Uruguay to extract US dollars from their peso-based Argentine credit cards, for "spending money."
The day-tripper "tourism" has become so extreme that Cristina Fernández has passed a new credit-card limit to Argentines. An Argentine overseas now may extract only US $800 per month. More pointedly, if the destination is a neighbouring country (read: Uruguay), the limit is $100 every three months.
No need to question whether $100 every three months would actually pay for the expenses of a visit across the river – there has been no attempt to disguise the measure as anything but a currency control. The purpose is that, as the monetary collapse completes its downward spiral, the sheep are penned in ever more firmly, to ensure that the final shearing may be as productive as possible. As one Argentine commented to me recently, "After October, there will be no more new Versace for Cristina. They have to take all they can from us now." That's a reference to both Mrs. Fernández's rather extravagant wardrobe expenditures and the expected outcome of the October elections.
But surely, all the above are the machinations of a south-of-the-equator, tin-pot dictatorship and have little relevance to the First World.
Not so.
Argentina provides us with a very useful lesson. Over the decades, its politicians have repeatedly collapsed the economy through the classic progression of governmental overspending/creation of massive debt/dramatic inflation/currency controls. Historically, this progression has always led to an eventual collapse of the economic system (wherever and whenever it has occurred, not just in Argentina). We can therefore observe the developments as they occur in Argentina and project out as to what may be on the way in the First World.
The First World countries have most certainly reached the point of having top-heavy governments that have enormous appetites for funding, and are expanding those appetites dramatically at a time when they should be cutting back dramatically. As governments in this situation always do, they have turned to indebtedness as a solution, in order to prolong the current trend as long as possible. In order to cope with the debt, massive money printing is undertaken, which leads directly to inflation. Inflation leads to an outflow of wealth from the country in question, which is then addressed through currency controls and protective tariffs.
Argentina is in the last stage of this progression and is poised to go over the edge. Its last production of this economic stage play was in 2001, and when the collapse came, the situation in Buenos Aires became so volatile that Argentina went through five presidents in just three weeks.
The US, on the other hand, has reached the point in its money-printing scheme that it is now buying $85 billion per month in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities and is committed to continuing to do so "until conditions improve." This is equivalent to a railroad train approaching the cliff of the Grand Canyon whilst a crew of workers shovel dirt into the canyon to fill it in, in time to prevent a train wreck.
If the classic progression continues as it does historically, we can anticipate dramatic inflation, followed by currency controls and protective tariffs in the US and other First World countries.
As yet, there is little on the news regarding protective tariffs, but currency controls are very much in the works. Many have been implemented, and more are to come.
At this point, anyone whose primary address is in a First World country might wish to ask the question, "Is there a dollar clamp in my future? Will my government soon be at the stage that my national currency will be inflating dramatically; and if I choose to divest myself of it, shall I find that I am unable to do so, as a result of hastily implemented government controls?"
The answer is unequivocally "Yes." Governments are in the habit of claiming that their first priority is the safety and well-being of their citizens. However, when a citizen of any country chooses to exit from the relationship, either physically or monetarily, governments have a nasty habit of turning, suddenly and forcefully, vindictive.
For those who have a difficult time getting their heads around this fact, the following may be useful in providing a very real perspective. Picture a situation in which you are married and have reached the decision that your spouse's wasteful spending is crippling you personally. You then request a divorce. You make plans for splitting up the bank accounts and personal possessions and are hit with an injunction from your spouse's attorneys. You say, "But these possessions are mine. This money is mine. I worked with the sweat of my brow to earn them." The attorneys then advise, "That's not the way we see it. We regard them as community property, and we're prepared to negotiate with you as to how much we will allow you to walk away with."
The above situation is virtually the same as one in which you choose to split the sheets with your government, should you choose to do so at a time when that government is facing economic collapse. Your net worth is not your own; it is community property, and your government can, if anything, become more vicious than a divorce lawyer.
First Worlders are not yet queued up, as are the Argentines in the photo above, because the First World has not reached that stage in the progression as yet. What these Argentines are doing is a last, desperate measure. However, First Worlders may use the Argentine situation to forewarn themselves. They may choose to diversify their wealth beyond the confines of the nation-state to which they are presently married – and to do so whilst they still retain a modicum of control over their own wealth.
Jeff Thomas is British and resides in the Caribbean. The son of an economist and historian, he learned early to be distrustful of governments as a general principle. Although he spent his career creating and developing businesses, for eight years he penned a weekly newspaper column on the theme of limiting government.
He began his study of economics around 1990, learning initially from Sir John Templeton, then Harry Schulz and Doug Casey, and later others of an Austrian persuasion.
Once again, the amnesty bill doesn’t even mention the 12.506 million “unemployed”, 6.437 million wanting jobs, or the 6.896 million who have been scrubbed from the workforce! Nothing is said about another 25.228 million lost between 40 hour full time work and the BLS average 34.4 hours! Be it 12.5 million, 25 million, or 50 million, IT’S A CATASTROPHIC HARDSHIP ON ALL CITIZENS!
The highly educated and experienced senate body is more than qualified to multiply $100,845 times 12 million and then 20 million to determine the economic productive value of an average working citizen is $1.1 trillion per year @ 11 million and $2.0 trillion @ 20 million workers.
With equal certainty they and the GAO should already know their BLS average wage $42,537 @ 34.4 hours is $49,462 @ full time 40 hours, plus the reality of 30% ($14,838) employer taxes brings the average worker economic productivity value to $64,300! Because they are needlessly unemployed, government taxes citizen workers $36,545 to provide jobless food, shelter, etc, the total becomes around $100,845 per jobless citizen.
We also know government is illegally subsidizing alien invaders $36,545, ($402 billion @ 11mmm would be $731 billion @ 20mm???)! That is part of the economic cost. The total becomes $137,391 EACH, and $1.5 trillion @ 11 million to $2.7 trillion @ 20 million, PER YEAR. We're paying that cost today because our legislative-executive officers REFUSE TO ENFORCE OUR CONSTITUTION AND LAW! ENFORCE THE LAW AND IT WILL GO AWAY!!!
Laws by Immigration = Emanate Migration of even More voters for Big Govt. = not enough Working People to Shoulder the Cost Cost Cost and more Cost.
By The Way;

It appears as though the entrenched Republican (rhino) leadership is setting the stage for another GOP defeat in 2016. At the moment their favorites are Christi and Romney. Christi is so toxic to the GOP base he is unelectable. Christi has proven to be nothing more than a Democrat in an elephant suite. They way he romances Obama combined with the influx of Democrat money going to his campaign fund make it quite obvious where his true loyalty is. As far as Romney goes, even with fewer voters voting for Obama Romney couldn't draw enough of his base to make a good showing. Therefore, if the choice offered the GOP base is between these two, Democrats would have little problem getting any misfit they run elected.

In a recent interview with CNN, former CIA officer, Robert Baer, for whom I have great respect, opined that Edward Snowden was likely a spy for the People's Republic of China.
Well, like Mr. Baer, we're all entitled to our opinions. And, of course, the diligent among us must always consider all possibilities until the full, unadulterated truth is fully disclosed--if it ever is.
That said, having thrice listened to the Guardian's interview of Snowden and carefully observing his facial patterns & manner of expression, I could not detect the slightest telltale sign of pretention or concealment. What I saw was a genuinely bright, very well-spoken, remarkably poised and, yes, lonely and beseiged American who thought he was doing the right thing for America, and was willing to take the hits for doing so. And until there is solid, incontrovertible proof to the contrary, I am compelled to adhere to that view. Not exactly scientific. But no less scientific than Mr. Baer's position.
Though I suspect both detractors/dissemblers and supporters alike are working on it, missing so far is a more comprehensive background analysis and objective psychological profile of Snowden, both of which would be helpful to those of us who have more than a passing interest in his motivations and in any proof of NSA's lawlessness. In any event, to date nothing in his background has suggested the makings of either a hero OR a spy. And had there been hints of either, one could logically deduce that the security clearance check he was subjected to by the US Government would have disclosed such dispositions. One would hope so anyway.
Curious to me is Mr. Baer's opining that Snowden is likely a spy for the PRC because, I gather, Snowden opted to flee to Hong Kong. To me, that is a rather foundationally flimsy deduction on Mr. Baer's part. Reportedly, albeit unsuccessfully, on more than one occasion Mr Snowden brought the issue of NSA's highly questionable and likely unconstitutional actions to the attention of his superiors. And there's the nub of my disagreement with Mr. Baer's preliminary assessment: why would Snowden run the risk of exposing himself to his superiors as a "troublemaker" IF he were a spy? Makes little sense to me.
My bet is that Snowden fled to Hong Kong because 1) it was geographically closer to Hawaii than Iceland, and 2) the chances of PRC's extraditing him to the US was minimal to nil. On balance, and assuming he gave the matter of asylum at least a modicum of consideration before fleeing, HK is where I would have gone had I been in his shoes.
Mysterious and worrisome is the fact that as of this writing, Snowden's current whereabouts is unknown. He has simply dropped out of sight. Did he defect, or was he swept up by the PRC or other hostile entity? We just don't know. Being so high-profile, I can't imagine how Snowden could easily remain concealed for long, unless, of course, his concealment was forced on him. We can only speculate as to his whereabouts at this time. We'll just have to wait and see.
Finally, let's not rush to final judgement about Mr. Snowden. The NSA apologists, and there are many, will attempt to discredit him. Those who fear the worst about "our" government, which are also numerous, will applaud his nobility and courage. However, those seeking the unvarnished truth about Snowden and the NSA will give him the benefit of the doubt and await developments to render a final conclusion.
This is the stuff of spellbinding novels, for sure. But, for me, the big concern is NOT whether Snowden was a spy, which, at this juncture strikes me as fanciful at best, but whether or not "our" government was/is spying on us. Which of the two scenarios should be more concerning to an American? Hands down, I'd say the latter--in spades!
Congressman Massie,
Greetings Sir!
I am not one of your constituents - please ask Senator Paul about me, he can advise, tell you who I am.
I write today about the press release of your new amendments to the NDAA to protect civil rights of American Citizens.
Sir, I like what I read however I believe you need to make a small change..
The annual reporting requirements are not going to work. They provide far too much leeway for the Military to incarcerate in any given "year" and then fail to report it... as they might no longer be "incarcerated". I refuse to go into implications of that statement.
Not only that - an American might be incarcerated for twelve months - their rights to due process lost for twelve months - their freedom guaranteed under our Constitution lost for twelve months - before Congress found out about it. Before anyone found out about it.
I would make a suggestion that these amendments be modified with language that essentially states Congress be immediately notified in each and every incident of incarceration - not an annual report.
I understand the potential difficulties Military might have with something like that - but Sir, we are talking about freedom - not paperwork...
Respectfully,
SFC (retired) Aubrey Mason

The Obama administration is considering resettling some refugees who have escaped war-torn Syria in the United States, a development first reported by the Los Angeles Times on Sunday and later confirmed by the State Department.
According to the Times, the resettlement of the refugees would be “part of an international effort that could bring thousands of Syrians to American cities and towns.”
The Times reports [emphasis added]:
A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.
The State Department is “ready to consider the idea,” an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure.
The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement. California has historically taken the largest share, but Illinois, Florida,Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are also popular destinations.

A video has been released by the FSA (Free Syrian Army) Rebels in which they clearly make direct threats of a release of both chemical and biological agents against the people of Syria who support Bashar al-Assad.
In this video, FSA Rebels are in a laboratory stocked with chemicals that are labeled as being produced by a Turkish company named Tekkim http://www.tekkim.com.tr . Just a couple weeks ago, a group of men were apprehended transporting 2 kilos of weapons grade Sarin gas en route to Syria from Turkey. These men were from al-Nusra Terrorist organization which is allied with the FSA Rebels. Just a few of the chemicals seen in this video are: Potassium Permanganate, Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Chlorate, Sodium Nitrite, Acetone and Hydrochloric Acid.

30 Senate RINO Republicans joined all Senate Democrats and President Obama to ‘add’ an additional ‘$6.38 Trillion’ onto our National Debt. Where will the ‘$6.38 Trillion’ come from? Who will RINO Republicans and Senate Democrats blame for this additional ‘$6.38 Trillion’ onto our National Debt?
How will 30 RINO Republicans and all Senate Democrats justify their vote to ‘increase our National Debt’ for an additional $6.38 Trillion, as ticketed by the CBO, to cover their votes on S. 744 of ‘inviting’ some 11 million ‘illegal’ Latinos for USA ‘citizenship’?

Over three years ago, purported citizen Barack Obama raised his right hand while swearing to uphold the United States Constitution. Along with him 100 senators and 435 representatives in Congress swore on the Bible to “defend and protect” America as a sovereign nation and to uphold the rule of law in America.
They did not and they are not.

Every delegated authority implies a trust; responsibility follows as the shadow does its substance. But where there is no responsibility, authority is no longer a trust, but an act of usurpation. And every act of usurpation is either an act of TREASON, or an act of WARFARE.

Obama accomplishes de-facto repeal of 1st Amendment……………..
President Obama has said the outrage over the federal government’s decision to monitor citizens’ phone activity is all “hype.” …. Look for a separate post on this!
He might want to share his opinion with the U.S. Air Force, which is ordering members of the service not to look at news stories about it.
WND has received an unclassified NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) that warns airmen not to look at news stories related to the data-mining scandal.

Let me know what YOU propose to do ………………
Thank You.
President Barack Obama's –– who promised to have, and claims to be, the most transparent administration in history –– “political appointees are using secret government email accounts to conduct official business,” The Associated Press found. This ranges across several government agencies, including the Health and Human Services Department (HHS), the Labor Department (DOL) as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Just after the release of this information, Kathleen Sebelius came under fire about her emails, of which the AP published as KGS2@hhs.gov with her public email address of Kathleen.Sebelius@hhs.gov. When confronted by Fox News about the report, Sebelius denied any secrecy, “There is no secret email account, there’s a public email and a private email, and they’re all FOIABle, they’re all available.”
As the denials pile up, the White House shifts the blame, citing it as a practice used by previous administrations. However, the scale and scope across the government and this administration remains a mystery, because transparency is nil: “Most federal agencies have failed to turn over lists of political appointees' email addresses, which the AP sought under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) more than three months ago,” noted Fox News. According to the AP report last week, they are waiting for at least ten agencies to respond, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Treasury, Justice, Housing and Urban Development, Homeland Security, Commerce and Agriculture, of which "all have said they are working on a response to the AP.”
Former EPA Head Lisa Jackson’s Alter Ego, the Fictitious “Richard Windsor,” Wins Awards
This is just the latest in a slew of government officials that we can confirm who have been using suspect email practices, which adds to the lack of transparency within the Obama White House. As you may recall Lisa Jackson, the former head of the EPA –– chosen by Obama in 2009 –– used an “alter ego” as her email account to conduct government business.
In the fall of 2012 the name “Richard Windsor” triggered an environmental alarm –– what POLITICO called “an inadvertent ruckus for an agency already under fire from conservatives.” It “spawned a host of accusatory news reports and questions from lawmakers, all of them implying that Jackson was trying to dodge congressional oversight and public records laws by using a private email account under a fake name.”
A fake person, whom by the way, the White House knew about since at least February 2010, and now we learn "he" won several EPA awards. The National Review divulged, "Documents released by the agency in response to a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that, for three years, the EPA certified Windsor as a "scholar of ethical behavior." The agency also documented the nonexistent Windsor’s completion of training courses in the management of e-mail records, cyber-security awareness, and what appears to be a counter-terror initiative that urges federal employees to report suspicious activity."
Needless to say, refutation is the usual response by the Obama administration in any wrongdoing (whether alleged or factual), and in some cases selective amnesia is their method of deflection. In this case, the EPA claimed that Jackson’s public account, jackson.lisap@epa.gov, was inundated with “1.5 million emails in fiscal year 2012.” Adding to their justification, “EPA administrators have been assigned two official, government-issued email accounts: a public account and an internal account,” EPA said in a statement to POLITICO back in November 2012. “The email address for the public account is posted on EPA's website and is used by hundreds of thousands of Americans to send messages to the administrator. The internal account is an everyday, working email account of the administrator to communicate with staff and other government officials.”
In the midst of this heated environment, Ms. Jackson resigned in December 2012 (and now works for Apple), and by January it became clear that the EPA email scandal was worse than most had originally thought. Brietbart.com put it best, "We’re not talking about some alias to be used for personal correspondence but a totally false identity in whose name official business was allegedly conducted created specifically to avoid federal record-keeping and disclosure requirements. And none of this would ever have been uncovered were it not for the courage of a still anonymous whistleblower and the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s (CEI) Christopher Horner, an attorney with the legal smarts and experience needed to unravel it all."
As early as April 2012, the EPA Intel came to light by Mr. Horner, who is also the author of The Liberal War on Transparency, "research for which uncovered a climate of deceit and obstruction at EPA." Eventually it sparked congressional inquiries, an inspector general investigation as well as a federal court order for the EPA to turn over “the first installment of some 12,000 secret, previously undisclosed emails.”
In January 2013, the EPA provided emails all right, but none that included Jackson’s alias. The next two batches released in February and March of this year were no better, as one set was “heavily redacted” and the other turned out to be a partial document dump. NOTE: a very incriminating timeline regarding EPA's "Richard Windsor" Email Scandal can be found at CEI, yet here we are over a year later, and we're no more closer to the truth.
Jackson, a "friend" of former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones (both far-left radical environmentalists), promised “environmental justice” and referred to this government agency as “Obama’s EPA” –– an agency whereas the president gave the largest budget in EPA history at the tune of $10.5 billion taxpayer-dollars, as well as a tremendous amount of "ECO power," of which the EPA has abused.
Nevertheless, what’s key here is that Jackson's fictitious email wasn’t used for recipe swapping or recycling tips. From what I gather, "Richard Windsor was used to conduct official business with environmental pressure groups, other special interests, and top staffers." The Daily Caller News Foundation also reported, "the Windsor account had also been used to correspond with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack — who was using a secret account of his own — and outside environmental groups." Additionally, there was another EPA official who used a private email account to correspond with environmental groups in an attempt to "shield communications with environmental activists from public disclosure," documented The Daily Caller in January.
Evidence also emerged and was reported by Human Events in December 2012 which stated, “the existence of 12,000 emails (those court order ones) had either addressed to or authored by “'Richard Windsor'” included one of four key words submitted by Horner for a search –– coal, climate, endanger and MACT, a mercury rule expected to have a devastating impact on the coal industry and coal-fired electricity plants and raise rates for consumers."
Jackson was also in charge of other important issues like how to control so-called greenhouses gases, setting fuel standards for automobiles and approving an ethanol-based fuel. We also know that Jackson and the power allotted the EPA, (oops Obama's EPA), who is strongly aligned with President Obama's expensive and ongoing left-wing "climate change" agenda, was used to circumvent Congressional approval. For example, in 2009, the Obama administration was “unable to sell cap-and-trade as a job creator,” knowing that Americans see it as a job killer and a costly energy tax. So in December 2009, the Obama administration decided to go through the EPA to move their climate agenda via the Clean Air Act, ruling that “greenhouse gases threaten public health and the environment” and six key greenhouse gases were listed, including carbon dioxide (C02), opening the “regulation door” to carbon emissions from automobiles, power plants, and other sources.
EPA: Out with the “Richard Windsor” and in with "Obama's Green Quarterback," Holding the "Lack of Transparency" Football
“Richard Windsor” may be off the team –– awards and all –– but as of late, Chris Horner has gone after EPA senior official, Gina McCarthy, who runs the EPA’s clean air division and in March was nominated by the president to replace outgoing chief Lisa Jackson.
The charge: CEI filed a lawsuit that “alleges EPA has not provided the records or a substantive response to a late April Freedom of Information Act request, which covers dates McCarthy testified between 2009 and 2012.”
The Hill reported on this story at the end of May, of which the CEI alleged, “McCarthy regularly used text messaging as an alternative to email for work-related communications.” Not to mention McCarthy was apparently warned by a senior EPA official to “cease using that function on her PDA, due to concerns about the propriety of her texting about Members of Congress specifically on days when she testified before either the House or Senate.”
However, McCarthy, in April 2013 told Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), the top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee who was vetting her nomination, “I do not conduct business through personal email.” McCarthy is also on the record as stating that she doesn’t conduct business over instant messaging, either: “One good thing about being 58 is I don’t know how to use them,” McCarthy said. “I have never used an IM. I don’t know how.”
Widely known as Obama’s “green quarterback,” McCarthy hit some roadblocks on her way to head the EPA, including a boycott by senate Republican members of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, because she had refused to answer their questions about transparency in the agency. Needless to say, a week later (May 16) McCarthy was approved by the Senate committee, and as reported by the Washington Post, this was "after what Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) described as significant steps forward on transparency issues important to the GOP."
Is there confusion on texting vs. instant messages? Or maybe McCarthy has since learned how to IM. I don't know, but we'll keep tabs on this part of the EPA scandal, because as of this month, McCarthy's path forward to heading the EPA remains murky, as does the transparency within this agency and many others.
July 2012 House Oversight Hearing Revealed Shady Email Practices by Former DOE Loan Advisor Jonathan Silver
I'd love to compare notes with Chris Horner on the Green Corruption scandal, because according to Human Events, Horner also acknowledged that fourteen separate private email accounts helped solidify the Solyndra green energy deal that costs taxpayers over $500 million. The Solyndra Saga was just the beginning of President Obama's clean-energy failures (billions wasted) and crony capitalism run amok, of which I've been tracking for some time. I recently tallied 25 taxpayer-backed green energy firms that have gone bankrupt, and with an equal amount troubled.
Last summer I was one of the few that took issue with the fact that the former Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Advisor, Jonathan Silver, during his time at the DOE, participated in extremely shady email practices that included helping his “friends” get DOE loans, of which I discovered when viewing the July 18th Oversight hearing as well as chronicling the green corruption suspects since 2010.
A scandal that also comprises of internal DOE email correspondences (some from whistleblowers) going as far back as the passing of President Obama's 2009 trillion-dollar stimulus package, of which last fall we busted open the Energy Department's "Den of Deception," proving coercion, corruption, cronyism, and cover ups.
What astonished me was that Silver used his personal email account to “handle” DOE business, where he would forward emails from his DOE account to his personal email, and then respond from his personal email account. Now, Mr. Silver reasoned that it was out of “convenience,” however; this practice clearly violates the Federal Records Act of 1950 (at least the spirit of the law). Worse, these particular Obama appointees don't have an issue with lying to Congress while under oath, and have gone unpunished –– as is the case of Mr. Silver.
When questioned by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) at the July 18th hearing on how pervasive this practice was; Silver responded with, “Not terribly,” then followed, “I received tens of thousands of emails while I was in the program.” Congressman Gowdy then inquired about the percentage. Silver stated, “I don’t know the answer to that…”
During his testimony, Silver asserted that he had turned over all of his DOE correspondences (government documents), but as usual, it was only after the House Oversight Committee demanded them. During this hearing we also discover that the Obama administration had attempted to block their "legitimate discovery" in this particular case (as they stonewalled on most of the DOE inquiries led by the House Oversight). In fact the DOE specifically tried to prevent them from getting these documents, of which Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa's (R-CA) explained, "asking Mr. Silver’s attorney –– ordering him effectively –– to deliver the documents to them so they could limit and redact them, so they could decide what Congress was entitled to."
Obviously, the DOE was obstructing transparency, but still, this left me with many critical questions. Why did Silver handle DOE business in this fashion –– convenience or concealment? Is g-mail better than DOE e-mail? Did he forget his DOE password? I don’t know.
But what we do know is that this flies in the face of an administration that promised and promotes “unprecedented levels of transparency” and openness...
A day after the July 18th hearing, Chairman Issa appeared on Fox News, and summed up a few key points that he had sternly addressed during the hearing. When asked about Abound (another taxpayer-funded failure accompanied by its share of cronyism and corruption), here is what Issa had to say, “Thanks for covering yet another failed solar project –– one that again went outside the bounds and the rules for making the loan, and the American people are paying for it.”
Issa went on, “I think the most important thing that we saw was the discovery of Jonathan Silver and his various other Department of Energy employees deliberately producing an outside web of private emails in which they exchanged documents, strategized on how to get these loans approved, and so on…”
What do you think they are doing? Issa was asked
Issa’s answer, “I say it was pretty transparent, they’re being opaque…by circumventing these systems, they’re taking things out of what is statutorily required to be there…”
In closing...
Yep, the Obama administration is circumventing not only our Constitution, but evading government systems that were put into place to protect the American people against tyranny and enforce transparency while ensuring we have the proper mechanisms to keep our government accountable, which encompasses our elected officials, political appointees and their staff.
It's alarming the number of scandals plaguing the Obama White House, from Fast and Furious to Green Corruption (the DOE, DOI and EPA) to top officials engaging in shady email practices. Eventually we were faced with the Benghazi cover-up, the IRS political profiling, and the DOJ's chilling media meddling.
The most current and unprecedented controversy impacts every American, no matter what side of the political isle you're on, and our right to privacy. I'm referring the secret court order that allows the NSA to collect the metadata of Americans' phone calls for months at a time as well as operation PRISM –– justified by, yet goes beyond national security –– which began under President Bush in the wake of 9/11 and continued with the Obama administration.
However, Glenn Greenwald, a reporter for the British newspaper The Guardian and the one who broke "the biggest intelligence leak in the NSA's history," firmly warned that the Obama administration "has taken a warped and distorted view of the PATRIOT Act [now on steroids]," which I find horrifying, only to surmise that instead of a "war on terror," it has morphed into a "war on freedom."
While some of these scandals are deadly and disgraceful, others shed light on the political favoritism that runs across many government agencies, and now we search and find that many of these same agencies and others conduct government business in secret.
Worse, if it wasn't for watchdog groups like Chris Horner's, whistleblowers, a handful of media doing their job, Congressional oversight, and citizens speaking out, we wouldn't know about this raging "secret" email scandal running wild within the Obama administration. In fact we'd be in the dark about most of what our government is up to, which is a sad indictment of where we are as Country: a government that is too big, too expensive, and too intrusive, and as of late, has become too corrupt, abusive and secretive.
Even those on the Left had to cede, including President Obama's former campaign advisor, David Axelrod, whereas in an attempt to shield Obama from the IRS scandal had this to say, "How could Obama know what his underlings were doing when the government’s so big?"
While this statement makes the case for smaller government even bigger, more insightful words came out of Becky Gerritson's testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, whose Tea Party group was one of those targeted by the IRS abuse, "...And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place...”
In fact our government has it all backwards: instead of punishing government officials and employees for their proven misdeeds, abuses, and crimes, they crucify brave whistleblowers. No matter what side is in power, "we the people" should raise up along side the Becky's of our nation, and remind our government that America was founded and formed "with a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
We must stand firm, and demand punishment for those that abuse their power, and ensure that unwarranted and illegal secrecy STOPS, because there is a reason people do things in secret –– they usually have something to hide, and you never know, tyranny may be "lurking just around the corner"...
Two Women (one citizen & one energy columnist) join forces on One Mission: to expose one chunk of this Green Corruption scandal at a time.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound? If the Obama Administration breaks the law at will, lies to the American people, uses every government agency at it's disposal to punish it's conservative/Republican enemies and no one does anything about it, does it make a sound? Yes it does resulting in devastating consequences for the American people.
Despite a trifecta of scandals, Obama and company continue to stonewall, lie or refuse to answer questions; in essence, giving Congress and the American people the finger. Pundits are shocked and taken-aback by the unprecedented arrogance of the Obama Administration.
Such pundits are a bit late coming to the dance as we in the Tea Party have been well aware of the lawlessness and arrogance of this bunch of thugs from Chicago for years. Have these surprised pundits forgotten Obama's unprecedented overreaches into the private sector – nationalizing General Motors; bullying banks; ignoring the ruling of federal judges, trashing the Constitution and more?
Still, pundits are missing the much greater horrifying picture. My fellow Americans we are in deep, deep trouble. The cold reality is that until someone steps forward in real opposition to Obama governing according to his will while ignoring all the laws, checks and balances, we are defenseless expendable supplicants of a tyrannical dictator.
Remarkably, the mainstream media is complaisant with Obama acting like our king rather than our president because he is liberal, black and his presidency is historic. Obama's agenda fits neatly with the mainstream media's socialist/progressive agenda. So they are elated to have a Teflon liberal black guy in the White House furthering their cause.
Speaking of expendable supplicants, let us not forget Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith who lost their lives left to die in our consulate in Benghazi.
The Obama Administration is emboldened to do whatever it pleases; bully conservative groups and individuals – secretly invade our privacy, target reporters and thumb it's nose when they get caught – all without any “real” political push-back or consequences. We the American people are in deep excrement.
Ponder that folks. As long as the mainstream media provides cover for Obama and keeps his poll numbers high by making sure no bad news is linked to Obama (Limbaugh Theorem), our president is empowered to function as a supreme ruler, free to do whatever he pleases to us. Dear God help us!
Obama is the first black president. Okay, I get it. But Obama's black skin nor protecting his legacy should award him Imperial Dictator status, trumping the best interest of the American people.
The Republican party desperately needs leadership – someone not just willing to say “no” to Obama's tyranny. We need someone who will walk tall and passionately proclaim, “H - - No!”
America needs a politician with backbone and fortitude willing to endure being called racist by Obama's subservient mainstream media; someone unafraid of being targeted by the IRS; someone willing to be hated by clueless poll participants; someone willing to endure EPA persecution if they're a business owner; someone willing to endure their phone and email privacy illegally violated and someone willing to endure attempts to criminalize their opposition to Obama's agenda.
Under Obama's IRS controlled health care, any politician daring to oppose Obama's agenda will more than likely suffer delays and denial of medical care for their family and themselves. Suddenly, their conservative Republican mom finds herself at the bottom of the list for that kidney.
Yes, it is going to take a politician with incredible stones to challenge the great all-powerful beast, the Obama Administration.
I am confident that such a hero will step forward. Between you and me, I am keeping an eye on Rep. Trey Gowdy, House Oversight & Government Reform Committee. I
As the kids would say, Obama's arrogance is “off the chain” (my attempt to sound cool). Most people caught lying or with their pants down, back off. When caught red handed, Obama pokes his finger in our eye.
For example: It has been exposed that the Administration sent Susan Rice out to lie about Benghazi on five national TV shows. In response to getting caught, Obama promoted Rice. Lois Lerner was caught using the IRS to bully, intimidate and suppress the conservative vote in the 2012 presidential election. Obama promoted Lerner. The latest in his growing list of offenses and scandals, Eric Holder was caught lying about targeting reporter James Rosen.
Naïve pundits say, “Eric Holder is toast. He has to go.” My reply is, “Holder ain't goin' nowhere. You guys still do not get it. Holder is black and liberal and Obama is arrogant beyond belief with the media in his back pocket.” Obama recently stated that he is behind Holder 100 percent.
Folks, do you see the horror of what we are dealing with in America today? We have an Administration free to rule as it pleases with no one, I repeat no one, really holding it's feet to the fire. Will, someone please throw this out-of-control administration across their knee, spank it's butt and say, “No!”
Meanwhile, I heard someone say on TV in response to Holder's stonewalling and lying, “Holder risks another contempt of congress filed against him.” I am sure Holder is quaking in his boots.
