Can you hear the pot calling the kettle black? I can! The population of most societies is split 50-50 between men and women. For the past 40 years there have been 55 MILLION innocent and helpless babies murdered in their mothers womb. Statistically, one half of them were females. The liberal media to include acadamia and hollywood have accused Republican Conservatives and others that they were fostering a War on Women. Look at the facts: the crazed minded liberals who have continuously supported abortion for just about any reason have in effect not only sponsored a very successful War on Women but actually succeeded in sponsoring the victorious death of around one half of that 55 million which equates to approximately 27 million innocent and helpless female babies. So the real question is who are the real war mongers assaulting the rights of unborn FEMALES? I wonder what the BIGOTS have to say about that?

"In many ways, according to conventional wisdom, my off-and-on career in Congress, from 1976 to 2012, accomplished very little. No named legislation, no named federal buildings or highways---thank goodness. In spite of my efforts, the government has grown exponentially, taxes remain excessive, and the prolific increase of incomprehensible regulations continues. Wars are constant and pursued without Congressional declaration, deficits rise to the sky, poverty is rampant and dependency on the federal government is now worse than any time in our history.
All this with minimal concerns for the deficits and unfunded liabilities that common sense tells us cannot go on much longer. A grand, but never mentioned, bipartisan agreement allows for the well-kept secret that keeps the spending going. One side doesn't give up one penny on military spending, the other side doesn't give up one penny on welfare spending, while both sides support the bailouts and subsidies for the banking and the corporate elite. And the spending continues as the economy weakens and the downward spiral continues. As the government continues fiddling around, our liberties and our wealth burn in the flames of a foreign policy that makes us less safe."

I support an immediate action of Civil Disobedience: Do not pay taxes, Escrow the money. Without their cash influx the snakes in government will soon die.
They cannot prosecute 10M people, it will bring government to an abrupt halt. When it hits the fan I support
former military Generals Patraeus or McCrystal. These are men who have served our country honourably, have an intense hands-on history of organization and leadership of such magnitude.
A coup, yes. It will take an earth shaking event to dismantle Congress, take the president as a traitor and give America a new lease on life. I do not foresee men of this calibre becoming tyrants. I want only to rescind any and all Obama dictates.
Men of this stature could easily create a cabinet of responsible individuals to guide our nation back on track to the constructs of our Constitution.
I would happily take my chances under such circumstances.
A knee-jerk reaction in response to the school shootings by one sick, lonely and bullied boy is unacceptable. His mother was at the center of this 'perfect storm'.
Using this event as a rallying point to have government intrude further into our lives, deny our civil rights, points directly to all the signs of a totalitarian governments first actions against the country's citizens.
Take a much harder look at the lives of 2 generations of turn-key children playing video games where the most 'kills' wins.
Where are the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, after school sports, required physical education, required national military service. Get these young people back into the light of day, physically healthy and more socially adept.
Get them out of the 'basement' environment where the only time they are winners is when they score the most kills. That's the problem. Not my guns.
I expect support of my civil rights to gun ownership without further encroachment by an already out-of control-government.

Addendum:
The plan to sell Egypt, a Muslim controlled country hostile to the United States,
our latest technology F-16 Fighter jets and 200 Abrams tanks is treasonous.
Those technologies will immediately be shared with Russia, Iran, China and North Korea. And most probably Cuba and Venezuela.
Let’s keep our eye on the ball and concentrate on these issues of national security.

The USA is in a recession and/or a depression. Many Americans are searching for jobs in the ‘private sector’, yet Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and many Republicans In Name Only (RINO) are coordinating with Capitol Hill Democrats to scrap a near perfect ‘legal Immigration’ system; new legislation to open more ‘illegal immigrants’ to take more of our American jobs while these same ‘illegal immigrants’ are increasing American taxpayers’ more cost for their education, food assistance, healthcare, housing, etc.
Speaker John Boehner, Sen. Mitch McConnell, and Republicans should be focusing on requiring the lawless elected and appointed government officials to obey the Constitution, our US Code, and our ‘legal immigration’ laws; not ignoring and/or disobeying our laws. For now, these GOP leaders are following and granting more ‘lawlessness’, rather than leading Americans under our Constitution and US Code.
Please explain to me and many others. What is wrong in requiring ‘illegal immigrants’ to follow our ‘immigration’ laws that have worked very well for more than 200 years; and to stop ‘illegal immigrants’ from stealing and/or purchasing a fraudulent Social Security and/or Driver’s License, etc., prior to and/or after their arrival?
Furthermore, how are Boehner, McConnell, his RINO Republicans, and his Liberal Democrats going to prevent more ‘terror’ from being approved to relocate and live in our neighborhoods?
Back on the economic issue, under the Obama administration’s ‘political policies’, our economy may get even worse with increasing unemployment and more snowballing inflation;
however, Obama can always blame it on G.W. Bush and the main-stream Medias will follow.
Speaker John Boehner, Sen. Mitch McConnell, his RINO Republicans, and his Liberal Democrats continue to spend as if America has ‘unlimited Federal funds’. Boehner, McConnell, and his RINO Republicans continue to negotiate away more of taxpayers’ Federal money and our Constitutional freedoms. They say one thing, only to continue to negotiate and spend (y)our taxpayers’ money on a ‘credit card’ leaving more and more debt to our children, their children, etc.
Conservative Republicans all across America are becoming more disgusted with the Senate and Congressional Party leadership. The GOP leadership of today is joining Democrat Party’s policies by duplicating their Liberal political policies in more recent years.
It is time to say ‘NO MORE” to Liberalism. Quit negotiating with Liberal Democrats as if you are defenseless and indecisive children. Save our nation! Americans are waiting!
As a teen in the 1960s, I idolized Jim, my slightly older street smart cousin who lived in a tough area of Baltimore. Murders were common at the bar on the corner from his home. I was Jim's nerdy naïve preacher's kid cousin who visited from suburbia. Sleepovers at Jim's home in the city were exciting. “Downtown, where all the lights are bright...” You know the song.
Walking from the Yakamee joint, “Casanova” Jim coached, “Just say you love them”. While I wanted my experience to go beyond the stimulation of excessively close slow dancing to Marvin Gaye songs at unchaperoned dark basement parties, lying to a girl to have my way with her did not set well. Doggone home training! I was nagged by the truth that it is wrong to use someone solely for my pleasure, not caring about how it affected her.
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) In college, I tried to muzzle my conscience with drugs and alcohol. Fortunately, I did not produce any children out of wedlock.
Tom, another cousin of mine, had babies all over town which destroyed his life. He was incarcerated numerous times for non payment of child support. In those days, serial impregnaters were considered dishonorable men.
Today in 2013, the liberal Oxygen channel planned to celebrate dishonorable behavior as representative of the “hip” modern black experience with a new reality show titled, “All My Babies' Mamas”. Canceled due to public outcry, the star of the show was a rapper whose serial sperm donating produced eleven babies by ten women.
“All My Babies' Mamas” is characteristic of liberals' typical bigotry of lowered expectations regarding minorities. Liberals accuse black conservatives who reject liberal racist stereotypes of being traitors to their race, trying to be white and “sellouts”.
Long suffering courageous black conservatives offer blacks “real” empowerment; liberation from crippling victim-hood and entitlement mindsets. Due to liberals' resentment/hatred for America and traditional values, they are repulsed when black conservatives encourage blacks to get an education, work hard, revive traditional black community morality and go for their dreams.
In the 1950s, most black kids grew up in two parent households. Today, most black kids grow up fatherless as a result of liberal policies that destroyed the black family.Only half of black males graduate high school. Clearly, something is wrong in the black community and it “ain't” the white man's fault.
For decades, liberals (Democrats, Hollywood and the media) have been and continue serving blacks excrement while calling it filet mignon. For example: In the name of compassion, liberals routinely demean and even undermine the intellect and character of blacks. Liberals insist standards must be lowered for blacks to get the job or pass the test. Americans are required to show a photo-ID to board an airplane, cash a check and countless other situations. And yet, liberals say showing a photo-ID to vote is racist and disenfranchises blacks.
Will someone please tell me what the heck is so challenging about us blacks finding our way to acquire a photo-ID? By the way, I am black and I have one – a photo-ID. I guess liberals think I am remarkable; similar to the apes in “Planet of The Apes” discovering that Charlton Heston, a human, could speak.
Any suggestion of blacks performing on an equal playing field with whites or blacks assuming personal responsibility for their lives and behavior is deemed racist by liberals.
I suspect Oxygen was shocked by the public outcry against, “All My Babies' Mamas”. Liberals think: What's up with that? Oxygen is cool showing that they “be” down with the hood and in-tune with authentic blackness in America. Oxygen probably considers “All My Babies' Mamas” to be the modern urban version of “Ozzie and Harriet”. Okay, so the show promotes lax-ed morals and husband-less households which breed crime, school dropouts, gangs and poverty. Only out-of-touch fuddy duddy Uncle Tom black Conservatives and racist white Conservatives would find the show objectionable.
Liberals (Democrats and the media) have been peddling crap and pimping government programs that cripple blacks for years. And yet, liberals are thought of as heroes to blacks while they beat up on black conservatives for spreading the truth that blacks are diverse, self-reliant, bright and capable of much more.
By the way, political consultants say to win elections, Republicans/Conservatives must get with the program. They say we must embrace the new “amoral” culture and liberal thinking that produces shows like, “All My Babies' Mamas”. I say, “Balderdash!”

There Is A Dream Called America… so fragile it can only be whispered.

There is a dream called America… so fragile one can barely whisper it, I fear it may not survive the winter. Come, let us whisper now; that this dream may yet find spring.
A great wind has risen in the midst of this dream… bringing havoc upon this placid and pleasant place. A troublesome storm blows hard upon the foundations of liberty and the American dream. Will there be men of cause, too stand against this tempest course; too, hold high liberty’s light, that others may rally to her fight?
Will there yet be found a people, whose dreams are fixed upon that crown… That freedom may yet abound? Or, has the sound of furry, brought low the hope of liberties call, to one and all? I say arise and no more whisper liberty’s song… But raise an anthem, to silence the wind and with the blood of tyrants… let us, refresh the tree of liberty, once again.
There is a dream called America… So fragile it can only be whispered. Let us no more in silence speak, but with one voice, fix fast this dream… That, our progeny may sing… of Spring renewed, of summers long and Autumns… anew. Send now winter’s worst… for our dreams, our hopes, our whispers, are no more silent… Loose now the fragile trappings of liberty, from the yoke of tyranny.
Let this dream called America, become our vision… Let, the wind of tyrants no more lay hold of hopes long suffered, too deny liberty and our progeny, their dreams. Come let us whisper no more, but with new found reason, let us raise the anthem high… and shout, that those who yet can not hear… may join this chorus clear. Let us lift the curtain, upon our dreams… That liberty may ring, and our children sing, long… of liberty certain.

1SG... one can't ignore someone with a foot in your door and his hands going for your throat... Obama needs to be exposed for what he is... not ignored. It is time that Boehner wakes up to the daunting task laid at his feet... a task, if ignored that will certainly bring great pain to us all.
It is time that Boehner schedule 'Impeachment' hearings for Obama and several of his key minions... starting with Eric Holder, Elena Kagan, and Timothy Geithner. Open impeachment hearings for these three individuals will create the National forum necessary to expose the vast corruption that has creped it's way into our system of Government.
Attorney General Eric Holder is a prime target for impeachment... an ideal candidate to expose the core of Obama's plans to subvert the Constitution: the corruption of our legal system. All governments operate by force of law. Corrupt governments rule, thru the corruption of the law.
Elena Kagan, should follow promptly on the heals of Holder. She represents the very worst kind of judicial activism and amoral character, currently holding our Courts in contempt of the people and their Constitution. She and those like her are examples of the worst kind of 'Judicial Activist' todays corrupt courts have to offer.
Then on to Timothy Geithner, the wizard of diabolical machinations, who works the alchemy of the Bankster clan within Obama's Administration. A corrupt tax cheat, has been given the keys to the US Treasury and our children's inheritance. He and his minions have set the financial world on end; laying claim to heretofore unknown heights of financial irresponsibility.
No other Secretary of the Treasury has worked such alchemy... creating faux gold out of thin air with the stroke of a pen. This wizard of financial prestidigitation works in the shadows, with cunning lightening he loots our National treasury. He can make trillions appear in one hand, only to see them mystically vanish... upon the stage in a cacophony of financial discord... All while, Congress muses at his wizardry.
Once the lynch pins of corruption in Obama's Marxist cabal are exposed... Boehner can move on too the President. The National Media will be hard pressed to ignore such open political theater... and if the stage is set properly the House Republicans may well be able to capture the 'Bully Pulpit' and with it the nations ear... Something, they have not been able to do for several years.
Time doesn't wait... and history has now placed our nation at a cross road. What direction will she take, this America... this shinning City set upon a Hill? It now rests with the captains of our destiny to helm the ship... too, bring her full tilt... too, set a course for safe harbors, or too be forever lost in a sea of distress. Let us encourage those who helm the ship to abandon their reckless course and too once again bring us too calm seas.
Start the IMPEACHMENT process... mount the 'bully pulpit' and expose the corruption that runs deep in our government. Let us start anew this spring with a good house cleaning.
Over and over again, that there's no such thing as a New World Order "conspiracy," you'll successfully keep believing it! I'm just not sure how sticking your head in the sand helps anyone, including your family, community, or country.
He International Monetary Fund (IMF) walked off with America's economic sovereignty. We literally took a gigantic step toward global governance, and toward global control by global economists of our monetary and financial regulatory system ... Our Declaration of Independence has been repealed."
Belgian Prime Minister and first E.U. President Herman Van Rompuy discussed global governance in a press conference last fall , proclaiming 2009 as "the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet."
Also last year, US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said he was "quite open" to Chinese proposals for the development of a global currency run by the IMF. While he later tried to retract his statement, we all know how the game of politics is played ... Geithner and his boys are still "quite open" to a global currency.
Let's not forget too, about the proposed global bank tax. Which includes giving the United Nations world taxing authority.
As the gun rights battle heats up we have to wonder just how ridiculous our elected officials and the liberals will get. In this news report, http://news.yahoo.com/video/gun-tell-school-153418910.html a Missouri official wants people whom have children in school to be required to inform the schools that they are in fact a gun owner and if they dont inform the schools then face a fine. A law like that in my opinion would be like a sex offender having to tell the neighborhood that they was convicted of a sex crime and where they live. It would treat gun owners like criminals.
Next we have Senator Dianne Feinstein gun bill that list 120 guns she wants banned. Of course she would come up with something as ridiculous as this. Senator Feinstein has a long history of wanting Americans unarmed. Looking at the list it appears Senator Feinstein wants us to have only muskets and if given her way those would probably also be banned.
President Obama recently signed twenty three executive orders pertaining to gun control. Most of the executive orders is just political grand standing, but not all of them. Your doctor~patient confidentiality is no more. With an executive order Doctors are now encouraged to ask patients about the guns they own and of course turn that information into the government. Also we can see Obama is taking a tactic to look at gun violence and ownership as a mental disease issue. Now I can see how ridiculous this can get with these executive orders. You go to see a doctor for a bad cold. The doctor puts in your file that you have a brutal chest cold. Later on down the road the ATF shows up at your door step and confiscates all your weapons saying you have been determined your not fit to own guns. You try to fight it and find out the government gleamed from your records that a doctor your previously visited claimed you was brutal. Then as an individual you can spend thousands upon thousands defending yourself and you might get yourself temporarily removed from the list but you will never ever get your guns back. Thats how ridiculous the government can get with this.
Yet with the liberals attitude torwards gun ownership we shouldnt be surprised at this mentality. Various places on the web you can interact with others and discuss the issues. A lot of the website with news storys usually allow comments. Some of the liberals on these sites goes off the deep end and try everything to confuse the issues. Some of them like to bring up that if Americans gun rights shouldnt be restricted then whats to keep people from having atomic bombs, smart cluster bombs, grenades, and the ability for chemical warfare. Now thats ridiculous.
Simply put our second amendment rights are being attacked on various levels. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. What part of shall not be infringed does our elected officials dont understand?
when we watch the news these days, gun owners are the constant targets of people who hate us. Why do they hate us ? its actually very simple......they want americans bank accounts ,our property, and our freedom. They hate the fact that the only real reason they cant just take these things is because of our right to bear arms. The right that the founders of this once glorious nation gave us so long ago. They gave us this right because they had stood against tyranny and knew that some day we would have to stand again..they knew we would need the right to bear arms to form a well regulated militia to protect the security of our free state, to be able to stand against a tyrannical authoritarian government be it foreign or our own......u didnt know?......thats right...The 2nd amendment was put there for us to have the right and ability to defend ourselves, our rights, and our country from tyranny....not so we can hunt deer and have shooting compitetions..(although i do enjoy those freedoms as well) ........ The mainstream media will lead you to believe its all about the hunters and sportsmen. They say why does a hunter need high capacity mags or semi autos, And use that as an excuse to take our only real means of defense.
They will say just about anything or air any story to make guns and gun owners look bad. In fact the more Obama and Biden push for our guns, the more shootings they put on the news to make us look bad and them look good. There has been more media coverage on shootngs and guns in the last 4-5 months than there has in years. Is it a coincidence that this happens at the same time obama ramps up his attemps to take our guns?...I think not.... Its a massive propaganda machine with one goal.....Remove our defense and destroy the american way of life..
If enough people wake up and simply say" no your not taking my rights" we can put a stop to this, But if we dont we are doomed for a socialist take over that is already in progress. Until people and the media stop blaming the real problems on inatimate objects (guns), and start dealing with the real issues ( bad parenting, lack of morals ,anti depressants, mental issues, the desensetising of our youth by every form of media ......ect ) the list goes on and on...Unless we adress these issues, we will fall
The real 2nd amendment is our most important right, without it we have no real way of defending our other rights, our families, our property and our country.... A WELL REGULATED MILITIA BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED...........so stand against the tyranny and the socialist regime. Tell them your not gonna take my guns, my rights ,or my country...Get your family ,your friends, and your neighbors to stand with you. Its not to late to stop this . We still have a chance to save our rights!!
There is not one positive thing the oBUMa Administration has done to help America. In fact every law this man has illegally passed, trying to pass or actions he has taken caused one or more of the following: 4 Brave Americans killed who should still be alive, Weakened the U.S.A., Destroyed our Economy, Pushed Radical Muslim Agenda while taking away rights from Christians, Held us back from energy independence, stealing billions of tax dollars by investing them in his pet Green Job Scams only to have them go bankrupt and return the money to his campaign fund, Global Warming Cash Cow Lie, Ruined the Worlds Best Health Care, Lied to suit his needs just to name a few! Please don't bother mentioning Bin Laden, who murders 1,000's of Americans, makes our country look weak, finally
after ignoring 7chances to kill him, he gives Seal Team 6 the brave ones put in
place long ago by Bush to kill him & then oBUMa who would have you believe he was Rambo and did
it all himself, first worry? To give him a proper burial of course!
That's right to the very same people that commit countless atrocities: killing Christians, women, children for no reason, without a blink of reservation. Doubt me? Then please explain why oBUMa & his LibLoserDemDestruct SocialisticRacist Cronies are exempt from these illegal laws he has passed, yet we(Americans) despised by oBUMa have to follow them or be arrested. I now would like any liberal to
tell me with a straight face oBUMa isn't trying to destroy America and he is a
devout Christian.

Dinner with Hitler...
In 1933, a beautiful, young Austrian woman took off her clothes for a movie
director. She ran through the woods... naked. She swam in a lake... naked.
The most popular movie in 1933 was King Kong. But everyone in Hollywood was
talking about that scandalous movie with the gorgeous, young Austrian woman.
Louis B. Mayer, of the giant studio MGM, said she was the most beautiful
woman in the world. The film was banned practically everywhere... which of
course made it even more popular and valuable. Mussolini reportedly refused
to sell his copy at any price.
The star of the film, called Ecstasy, was Hedwig Kiesler. She said the
secret of her beauty was "to stand there and look stupid." In reality,
Kiesler was anything but stupid. She was a genius. She'd grown up as the
only child of a prominent Jewish banker. She was a math prodigy. She
excelled at science. As she grew older, she became ruthless, using all the
power her body and mind gave her.
Between the sexual roles she played, her tremendous beauty, and the power of
her intellect, Kiesler would confound the men in her life... including her
six husbands, two of the most ruthless dictators of the 20th century, and
one of the greatest movie producers in history.
Her beauty made her rich for a time. She is said to have made - and spent -
$30 million in her life. But her greatest accomplishment resulted from her
intellect... and her invention continues to shape the world we live in
today.
You see, this young Austrian starlet would take one of the most valuable
technologies ever developed right from under Hitler's nose. After fleeing to
America, she not only became a major Hollywood star... her name sits on one
of the most important patents ever granted by the U.S. Patent Office.
Today, when you use your cell phone or, over the next few years, as you
experience super-fast wireless Internet access (via something called
"long-term evolution" or "LTE" technology), you'll be using an extension of
the technology a 20- year-old actress first conceived while sitting at
dinner with Hitler.
At the time she made Ecstasy, Kiesler was married to one of the richest men
in Austria. Friedrich Mandl was Austria's leading arms maker. His firm would
become a key supplier to the Nazis.
Mandl used his beautiful young wife as a showpiece at important business
dinners with representatives of the Austrian, Italian, and German fascist
forces. One of Mandl's favorite topics at these gatherings - which included
meals with Hitler and Mussolini - was the technology surrounding
radio-controlled missiles and torpedoes. Wireless weapons offered far
greater ranges than the wire-controlled alternatives that prevailed at the
time. Kiesler sat through these dinners "looking stupid," while absorbing
everything she heard...
As a Jew, Kiesler hated the Nazis. She abhorred her husband's business
ambitions. Mandl responded to his wilful wife by imprisoning her in his
castle, Schloss Schwarzenau. In 1937, she managed to escape. She drugged her
maid, slipped out of the castle wearing the maid's clothes, and sold her
jewelry to finance a trip to London. (She got out just in time.
In 1938, Germany annexed Austria. The Nazis seized Mandl's factory. He was
half Jewish. Mandl fled to Brazil. Later, he became an advisor to
Argentina's iconic populist president, Juan Peron.)
In London, Kiesler arranged a meeting with Louis B. Mayer. She signed a
long-term contract with him, becoming one of MGM's biggest stars. She
appeared in more than 20 films. She was a co-star to Clark Gable, Judy
Garland, and even Bob Hope. Each of her first seven MGM movies was a
blockbuster.
But Kiesler cared far more about fighting the Nazis than about making
movies. At the height of her fame, in 1942, she developed a new kind of
communications system, optimized for sending coded messages that couldn't be
"jammed." She was building a system that would allow torpedoes and guided
bombs to always reach their targets. She was building a system to kill
Nazis.
By the 1940s, both the Nazis and the Allied forces were using the kind of
single- frequency radio-controlled technology Kiesler's ex-husband had been
peddling. The drawback of this technology was that the enemy could find the
appropriate frequency and "jam" or intercept the signal, thereby interfering
with the missile's intended path.
Kiesler's key innovation was to "change the channel." It was a way of
encoding a message across a broad area of the wireless spectrum. If one part
of the spectrum was jammed, the message would still get through on one of
the other frequencies being used. The problem was, she could not figure out
how to synchronize the frequency changes on both the receiver and the
transmitter. To solve the problem, she turned to perhaps the world's first
techno-musician, George Anthiel.
Anthiel was an acquaintance of Kiesler who achieved some notoriety for
creating intricate musical compositions. He synchronized his melodies across
twelve player pianos, producing stereophonic sounds no one had ever heard
before. Kiesler incorporated Anthiel's technology for synchronizing his
player pianos. Then, she was able to synchronize the frequency changes
between a weapon's receiver and its transmitter.
On August 11, 1942, U.S. Patent No. 2,292,387 was granted to Antheil and
"Hedy Kiesler Markey," which was Kiesler's married name at the time.
Most of you won't recognize the name Kiesler. And no one would remember the
name Hedy Markey. But it's a fair bet than anyone reading this newsletter of
a certain age will remember one of the great beauties of Hollywood's golden
age ~ Hedy Lamarr. That's the name Louis B. Mayer gave to his prize actress.
That's the name his movie company made famous.
Meanwhile, almost no one knows Hedwig Kiesler - aka Hedy Lamarr - was one of
the great pioneers of wireless communications. Her technology was developed
by the U.S. Navy, which has used it ever since.
You're probably using Lamarr's technology, too. Her patent sits at the
foundation of "spread spectrum technology," which you use every day when you
log on to a wi- fi network or make calls with your Bluetooth-enabled phone.
It lies at the heart of the massive investments being made right now in
so-called fourth-generation "LTE" wireless technology. This next generation
of cell phones and cell towers will provide tremendous increases to wireless
network speed and quality, by spreading wireless signals across the entire
available spectrum. This kind of encoding is only possible using the kind of
frequency switching that Hedwig Kiesler invented.

Despite Harm to the Environment and the Economy, Fiscal Cliff Deal Fuels Continuing Corporate Welfare
The new year began with “fiscal cliff” midnight drama and fantasy, and the wind-production tax credit (PTC), despite its negative impact on our environment and economy, packaged as a job creator and measure to save the planet, made its way into H.R. 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 –– a piece of legislation that was hyped as for the American people, yet it included a number of key tax extender provisions for special interest groups. “Congress extended wind energy tax credits worth billions of dollars in the last-minute deal hammered out by Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff, a move decried by free market organizations as corporate welfare,” writes the Washington Free Beacon.
Crammed through in the dark of night behind closed doors –– where the Senate was given minutes to read the bill, and the House caved under White House threats –– and with support of many Republicans –– the looming and controversial (PTC) that many high-powered energy corporations have taken advantage of, rely heavily upon, and were fiercely lobbying for, was revived once again.
"The wind industry hired a team of heavyweight lobbyists with cozy connections to Capitol Hill and the Obama administration to ensure the survival of the tax credit, the Washington Examiner’sTimothy P. Carney reported," more specifically K Street firm McBee Strategic Consulting, of which I've found over and over in my green corruption research.
NOTE: “The Lucky Seven Stimulus Authors” are those that helped craft the 2009-Recovery Act and have financially benefited, of which I have already covered General Electric, John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins, Senator John Kerry, which I wrote about last week. I have given mention to billionaire George Soros as well as the left-wing organization the Apollo Alliance, with TJ Glautheir and McBee Strategic Consulting topping off my list. Full report soon to be released.
“Congress first enacted the wind energy PTC in 1992 and has renewed it seven times since,” even as part of the 2009-Recovery Act. The Institute for Energy Research counts the hidden realities of the PTC extension, noting that "The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the one year extension will cost American taxpayers over $12 billion." "But that figure doesn’t begin to represent the full cost of wind power,” including the detriment to ratepayers. And if Big Wind gets its way over "the next six years, then the PTC would cost over $50 billion."
Unknown to the American public is another green government freebie blowing out of the stimulus package. The 1603 Grant Program –– a relative of the PTC, which is part of President Obama’s trillion-dollar spending spree –– is administered by the Treasury Department, where billions in favored-businesses are given tax-free cash gifts. This program was also touted as a jobs creator (of course saved and supported), yet most of the so-called green job gains are temporary.
According to energy.gov, “The Section 1603 program was created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support the deployment of renewable energy resources. The 1603 program offered project developers the option to select a one-time cash payment in lieu of taking the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) or the Production Tax Credit (PTC), for which they would have otherwise been eligible.”
Last week, the Energy and Commerce Committee released an “in-depth report on its ongoing investigation into the implementation of President Obama’s green energy stimulus spending,” exposing a shocking detail; “foreign corporations have received approximately one-quarter of $16 billion spent on 'Section 1603' renewable energy stimulus program.”
The report, “American Taxpayer Investment, Foreign Corporation Benefit,” states that as of December 5, 2012, “nearly $16 billion in federal funds (ironically, the same amount as the Department of Energy’s 1705 risky loan portfolio) has been awarded under this program,” of which “approximately $10.8 billion (68%) of the total amount in Section 1603 grants awarded was for wind and another $3.8 billion (24%) was for solar projects.”
Furthermore, “President Obama’s FY 2013 Budget proposes extending the Section 1603 grant program for another year, to include property with a construction start date of 2012.”
What’s funny is that as I was preparing my Big Wind findings, at the end of December 2012 I had downloaded the 1603 awards spreadsheet, which records 8275 awards, totaling $15,964,130,442. Moreover, tucked neatly inside the fiscal cliff deal is where we find the 1603 again ––– now part of the two-month delay on sequestration. This means that there was no “immediate reduction in 1603 cash grants from the Department of Treasury. However, this 1603 reduction can still happen on March 1, 2013 if Congress does not enact another extension or strategy to avoid sequestration.”
Now we know President Obama's priority for his second term –– he's dead set on pushing a fierce and radical climate change agenda and funding green energy with taxpayer money, no matter the cost or consequences. So, we’ll anticipate March; follow the president’s budget; and watch for future requests for stimulus funds as well as earmarks tucked away in unread legislation coming down the green pipeline, but for now we'll go back in time to the president’s job council…
Lewis Hay Chairman and Chief Executive officer of NextEra Energy, Inc.: Part of President Obama’s Multi-millionaire, Billionaire Jobs Council Club
Lewis “Lew” Hay, III is executive chairman of NextEra Energy, Inc., and it is estimated by Forbes, that CEO “Hay earns nearly $10 million in total compensation from NextEra.” Despite the fact that Hay was actually a “major political contributor to Sen. John McCain in 2008,” he quickly learned which side his power company could generate the title of the "Third Largest Recipient of DOE Risky Loans." Hay too joined wealthy Democratic donors on Obama’s Jobs Council in 2011, along with the other two I have tackled in this series, “Spreading the Wealth to Obama’s Ultra-Rich Job Council” –– Jobs Czar, Jeffrey Immelt CEO of General Electric has raked in $3 billion and counting, meanwhile John Doerr, along with his “climate buddy" Al Gore's, VC firm Kleiner Perkins is tied to at least $10 billion of stimulus funds. Both General Electric and Doerr were key contributors to what went into the 2009 Stimulus.
In my opening, I had stated that “NextEra Energy’s Green Money” was at least $2.3 billion, but that’s just from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) 1703 Loan Guarantee Program, of which I recorded in another green energy, crony corruption post last summer. We’ll revisit the DOE and Big Wind, but for now there is more you should know about NextEra…
NextEra Energy, Inc. is one of the oldest, third largest, and arguably one of the most solid power companies in the world, with “2011 revenues [that] totaled more than $15.3 billion.” And NextEra Energy Inc. has two primary subsidiaries:
- Florida Power & Light is the third largest electricity producer in the US, of which a September 2009 report states: “it's a political dynamo, making millions in political contributions and lobbying assiduously to achieve its goals."
- NextEra Energy Resources is the largest generator of energy from sun and wind resources in North America. The company also has the third largest fleet (8) of nuclear powered electricity generating plants in the United States.
NextEra: Biggest User of the Wind Energy Production Tax Credit
As a follower of NextEra, I found a fascinating analysis by John Fund of the National Review Online which states, “Begun 20 years ago to spur the construction of wind-energy facilities that could compete with conventional fossil-fuel power plants, the tax credit [PTC] gives wind an advantage over all other energy producers. But it has mostly benefited conventional nuclear and fossil-fuel-fired electricity producers. The biggest user of the tax credit is Florida-based NextEra Energy, the nation’s eighth-largest power producer. Through skillful manipulation of the credits, NextEra from 2005 to 2009 'paid just $88 million in taxes on earnings of nearly $7 billion,' Businessweek reports. That’s a tax rate of just 1.25 percent over that period, when the statutory rate is 35 percent.”
Wind Turbines Kill 440,000 Birds Each Year
Moreover, Fund gives us an astonishing and heartbreaking look at the “carnage inflicted on Mother Nature," quoting Paul Driessen of the Washington Times, "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that wind turbines kill 440,000 bald and golden eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, cranes, egrets, geese, and other birds every year in the U.S., along with countless insect-eating bats.”
Sadly, Fund states, “The actual numbers are probably far higher. The turbine blades of the nation’s 39,000 windmills move at 100 to 200 miles per hour and can mow down anything that gets in their path.” “Over the past 25 years, turbines at Altamont Pass, Calif., alone, have killed an estimated 2,300 golden eagles leading to an 80 percent drop in the golden-eagle population of southern California.”
Ironically, when you read the fine print, as exposed by the Manhattan Institute, who calculated “The Real Costs to Taxpayers in Subsidizing Big Wind,” –– federal taxpayers (under former President Bush and now Obama), in effect, are subsidizing the killing of federally protected birds.”
Where are the environmentalists and Rachel Maddow screaming bloody murder? The chirps are light, and prosecution is non-existent because our “federal government looks the other way as wind farms kill birds, but haul oil and gas firms to court” –– all the while the Obama administration protects Big Bird at all costs.
But then again, Big Wind, to many like the Telegraph, is the most corrupt industry in the world –– “without the lies it tells as a matter of course and without the cosy stitch-ups it arranges with regulators and politicians at taxpayers' expense, it simply would not exist.”
