For the last three months the two strongest and most consistent Republican candidate debate performances have come from businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Rajjpuut’s preferred G.O.P. ticket is Cain-Gingrich. The current surge in Cain’s popularity shows that Republican voters as a whole are starting to honor TEA Party principles and repudiate the G.O.P.’s former ugly movement toward bigger, more irresponsible government during the G.W. Bush years. Rajjpuut suggests that Herman Cain needs to outline a "platform" and begin to accentuate his ties to the TEA Party’s Contract from America and to educate American voters upon that document’s principles. To that end . . . .
Rajjpuut’s Suggested Herman Cain
“Contract with America’s Voters”
Preamble:
Government is growing too fast, too much, too expensively, too expansively, and too destructively . . . crowding out cherished economic freedoms. This great country will never fulfill its long-run potential to prosper, create jobs and lead the world unless constitutional limits to government are restored. America’s greatness, exceptionalism and historical allure to the oppressed people of Planet Earth is tied to three founding documents the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution (and most importantly: within the American Constitution the first ten Amendments known as the Bill of Rights). A Herman Cain presidency will return to these documents as the inspiration and playbook for America’s return to greatness and exceptionalism emphasizing Individual Liberty, Limited Government and Economic Freedom.
While critics of recent Constitutionalist movements (such as the TEA Party) have called these fine Americans “racists,” “haters,” “Nazis,” “devils” and other slurs without any actual evidence to back up their words, these well-behaved and thoughtful citizens have created a 10-point Contract from America which a Herman Cain presidency would be based upon. The first ten of the eleven main principles “PLANKS” of my presidency are based upon the TEA Party Contract from America.
#1 Protect the Constitution:
by requiring each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does.
#2 Reject Cap and Trade and all overstepping by the EPA destroying businesses, jobs and incentives:
by stopping all costly new regulations and repealing old regulations that have increased unemployment, raised consumer prices, and weakened the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures; and institute a sensible American energy independence policy.
#3 Pass a Balanced Budget and Citizen Tax Freedom
Amendment:
requiring a balanced budget and a pay-down of the debt and funding of heretofore UNFUNDED liabilities. To preserve balanced budgets for posterity require a 2/3 majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to pass tax increases or to run a temporary deficit; but only a simple majority in both chambers to reduce or eliminate taxes; or to eliminate a temporary deficit or to pay-down or eliminate national debt.
#4 Enact Fundamental Tax Reform:
by scrapping 100% of the present tax code and replacing it with a 0-0-9-9-9 tax plan. The 0-0-9-9-9 tax plan means that after the first $20,000 of personal income which is NOT taxed (0%); and all inheritance which is also not taxed (0%). . . institute a 9% personal income tax; a 9% corporate tax; and a 9% capital gains tax. To preserve tax freedom for posterity require a 2/3 majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to pass tax increases but only a simple majority in both chambers to reduce or eliminate taxes.
#5 Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally-
Limited Government in Washington, D.C.:
by creating a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying FRAUD, MALFEASANCE, duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning.
#6 End Runaway Government Spending and eliminate
federal government-caused-inflation:
by pegging the price of Gold in America at $4,000 per ounce and imposing a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of 1/2 the rate of inflation until the budget is balanced all national debt is eliminated and all now UNFUNDED liabilities are paid for. Once our fiscal house is in complete order, federal spending can be raised by the yearly percent of population growth added to 1/2 the rate of inflation. (Note: by limiting federal budget increases to ½ the rate of inflation, lawmakers will mainly be hurting their ability to spend and not the populace by inflating the currency.)
#7 Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health
Care and the Dodd-Frank Financial Act:
Repeal the Dodd-Frank Financial Act. Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enacting national tort reform and enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries.
#8 Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy:
by authorizing exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs. Add a 1% tax upon all profits from energy resources which will be set aside for funding green-energy innovation. All green energy innovation grants will be under control of a blue-ribbon committee of responsible scientists and not bureaucrats. Remove the most burdensome of taxes upon; and 100% of subsidies to all energy businesses.
#9 Stop the Pork:
by asking my party to eliminate all earmarks until our nation’s fiscal house is 100% in order; by vetoing ANY bill which contains earmarks placed before me; and then passing a bill into law requiring a ¾ majority in both the Senate and House to pass any bill with earmarks for the future.
#10 Minimize Taxes:
because a revolt against uncontrolled government, uncontrolled spending and irresponsible attacks upon economic freedom has taken place since 1989. No intelligent person NOW trusts Washington and its bureaucracy to be good and responsible stewards of our money who put we citizens, voters and taxpayers first . . . a strong emphasis on constitutional limits and restraints on legislation, spending, taxing government interference and government control of the economy must replace business as usual in the Nation’s Capitol. We must restore and advance the Constitutional-restraint of government championed by Ronald Reagan who ended a debilitating recession and created 20 million jobs.
#11 Re-think and Refine our Foreign Policy:
because America has lost power and prestige around the world in recent times; because Defense and Foreign Aid are such drags upon our nation’s economy; because their appears to be no integrity to recent American actions around the globe . . . we must identify our enemies; identify our friends and allies; strengthen the economic and other bonds with friends; eliminate all foreign aid that is NOT in our national interest and create a new and coherent 21st Century military and foreign policy.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,

So, it turns out that the Iranian killers working to conduct Jihad against various and sundry individuals on the streets of America have been aided and abetted by another third-world, failed state, and sponsor of terrorism:
That being the drug cartel state of Mexico!
Yep, the despicable state of Mexico, the dim wits who, when they are not exporting their illiterate masses to America for U.S. taxpayers to support, are in cahoots with the bag men of Tehran who want America destroyed so that Iran can drive Israel into the sea without resistance from Jew-loving infidels in America.
Once again, the homeland security of America is compromised by progressives more concerned about puffing up the rolls of the Democrat Party base than in protecting American citizens.
Posted on Floyd Reports-By Ben Johnson-On October 12, 2011:
“Rush Limbaugh is asking if the foiled terrorist plot Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday was a ploy to distract the American people from Holder’s role in a deadly Mexican gun-running operation. Holder announced the plot — in which Iranian forces allegedly plotted to hire a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. in a Washington, D.C., restaurant — shortly after Congressman Darrell Issa threatened to subpoena him for misleading Congress about Operation Fast and Furious. “What a great way to sidestep the fact that he’s being delivered a subpoena for Fast and Furious,” Limbaugh told his audience on Tuesday. “That’s exactly what this is all about…No question in my mind what Holder’s press conference is about.”
Is it possible Rush is right that Holder, or someone other than the Iranian government, has overhyped the story for political ends? The evidence shows, surprisingly, that the possibility of a hoax cannot be dismissed out of hand.
According to Eric Holder, an Iranian contacted a member of the Mexican cartel Los Zetas in May about a plan to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States, Adel al-Jubeir. Manssor Arbabsiar, a naturalized U.S. citizen, allegedly also offered to pay the Mexican gang to bomb the Israeli embassy in America, and the Israeli and Saudi embassies in Argentina. However, the Los Zetas connection was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), who informed the DEA about the offer. In August, Arbabsiar wired him a $100,000 down payment on the $1.5 million promised fee. When Arbabsiar flew into Mexico as human collateral, the government routed his plane to New York, where federal agents took him into custody.
Once there, he named Gholam Shakuri, a member of Iran’s Quds Force, as his co-conspirator and made covert calls to Shakuri from prison. (Shakuri is still at large, presumably in Iran.) The administration is designating three other members of Quds as terrorists.
So far, no one has disputed these facts.
Yet Holder insisted at yesterday’s press conference, “High-up officials in those [Iranian] agencies, which is an integral part of the Iranian government, were responsible for this plot. I think one has to be concerned about the chilling nature of what the Iranian government attempted to do here.” And Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, said, “it looks like it’s the Quds Force.”
This is highly questionable. Experts on terrorism question the tactics and generally unprofessional execution of the plot, saying they indicate the Quds Force did not authorize this, much less the higher levels of the Iranian government.
Roger Cressey, who worked in national security in the Clinton and Bush-42 administrations, called the entire plot “a sting operation.” He added “corroborating evidence” would be “critical” to establish that the Iranian government had anything to do with it.
Robert Baer, a CIA expert on the region and author of See No Evil, said the operation’s sloppiness “defies belief.” This operation did not match his knowledge of Iran’s elite fighting force. “The Quds are better than this,” he said. “If they wanted to come after you, you’d be dead already.”
Rasool Nafisi, an expert on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of which Quds is a part, agrees, “It’s not typical of the Quds Force or the I.R.G.C. to operate in the U.S., for fear of retaliation.”
The mainstream press has so far shown remarkable skepticism of an Obama administration assertion. Media outlets are universally calling the scenario an “alleged plot.”
The Washington Post reported, “The brazenness of the plot outlined by Justice Department officials struck many current and former U.S. officials as out of character for Iran, which has rarely, if ever, been so bold as to strike targets in America.”
The New York Times writes, “Experts on Iran expressed astonishment at both the apparently clumsy tradecraft and the uncertain goal of the intended mayhem on United States soil.” It adds the assassination conspiracy would be “uncharacteristically bold.”
Reuters summarized, “The Quds Force has not previously been known to focus on targets in the United States.”
Even those who propound the story seem to acknowledge its fanciful nature. FBI Director Robert Mueller said the plot he unveiled “reads like the pages of a Hollywood script.”
Did Eric Holder announce this to draw attention away from Operation Fast and Furious, as Bill Clinton launchedOperation Desert Fox in the midst of impeachment?
It did come immediately after Congressman Darrell Issa questioned Holder’s “credibility” to served and sternly informed the attorney general in a letter, “you own Fast and Furious.” Holder has a history of misleading Congress. Congress seemed poised to examine the attorney general’s own Operation Fast and Loose.
And Holder did seem awfully motivated to leave the press briefing the instant a reporter brought up Operation Fast and Furious. When asked, Holder rhetorically pivoted, implying it was a mere trifle. He said, “what I want the American people to understand is that in complying with those subpoenas and dealing with that inquiry, that will not detract us from the important business we have to do here at the Justice Department, including matters like the one that we have announced today.”

Is it possible Holder hyped the story? Perhaps. At a minimum, the Iranian leadership’s involvement is far from the proverbial intelligence “slam-dunk.”
Make no mistake, committing an act of terrorism is not beyond Iran. Tehran’s mullahcracy has destabilized the region ever since Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah three decades ago. State-sponsored terrorism is an action the Iranians have raised to a fine art, as Michelangelo did to sculpture or Shakespeare did to verse. That proficiency calls into question the Keystone Cops nature of this amateurish operation.
It is possible the gold standard for world terrorism became inexplicably incompetent for this one job? Then again, if the Quds Force or the Iranian government did not authorize this hit, who did?
To be fair, Iran has plotted to murder a Saudi ambassador in Germany. And who, looking at the sheer incompetence of Operation Fast and Furious, would believe it was designed by the U.S. government? (On second thought….) Perhaps the evidence will connect these dots. Until it does, this author will remain dubious.
Americans’ minds are now consumed with finding out whether the highest levels of the Iranian government hatched this harebrained plot. They should remain vigilant about discovering who in the highest levels of the U.S. government authorized Fast and Furious.”

I. Issa Issues Subpoena to Holder in Fast and Furious Investigation!
Posted on FoxNews.com-By William Lajeunesse and Mike Levine, Fox News-On October 12, 2011:
“Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent a subpoena Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder as part of his investigation into the gun trafficking operation known as“Fast and Furious.”
“Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged,” the California Republican said in a statement. “The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It’s time we know the whole truth.”
The subpoena seeks, among other things, all communications regarding the operation from 16 top Justice officials, including Holder, his chief of staff, Gary Grindler, and the head of the department’s criminal division, Lanny Breuer, as well as correspondence on specific dates to and from the former head of the ATF’s Phoenix field division, William Newell.
It also asks for all documents and communications referring or relating to the murder of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata, including any correspondence outlining the details of Zapata’s mission at the time he was murdered.
Zapata was killed in a drug cartel ambush on a northern Mexican highway with a gun that was purchased in a town outside Forth Worth, Texas. Three Dallas-area men—one accused of buying the gun, his brother and their neighbor—are facing federal weapons charges, although none related to Zapata’s death.
Congressional investigators are also demanding information regarding the investigation into the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Two guns found at Terry’s crime scene were linked to the failed operation that allowed more than 2,000 weapons to “walk.”
The subpoena asks for correspondence that Justice Department officials had with the White House about the gun trafficking operation, as well as what information was shared by Justice officials in Mexico.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House oversight committee, sharply criticized Issa for sending the subpoena.
“This subpoena is a deep-sea fishing expedition and a gross abuse of the committee’s authority,” he said. “It demands tens of thousands of pages of highly sensitive law enforcement and national security materials that have never been requested before and are completely unrelated to Operation Fast and Furious. Rather than legitimate fact-gathering, this looks more like a political stunt.”
This second subpoena follows the first one issued in March to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Asked about the development Tuesday, Holder said his department “will undoubtedly comply with them,” noting that Justice officials have already sent “thousands of pages of documents up to the Hill.”
But Holder wouldn’t answer whether he or anyone else at the department knew about the controversial tactics.
Holder addressed the matter at the end of a press conference about an alleged Iran-tied terror plot foiled by U.S. investigators. “What I want the American people to understand is that in complying with those subpoenas and dealing with that inquiry, that will not detract us from the important business that we have here to do at the Justice Department, including matters like the one that we have announced today,” Holder said.
The new subpoena follows a week of back and forth between congressional investigators and Justice Department officials of “who knew what, when.” Under scrutiny was Holder’s testimony from May 3 when he told Issa that he“probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”
Fox News obtained documents addressed to Holder as early as nine months before that, which described the concept of Fast and Furious.
In addition to the congressional investigation being led by Issa and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is calling for a special counsel to look into the matter.”

Colonel Anthony Shafer has confirmed on Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano. A federal plot to use so-called 'terror' plot by a supposed Iranian mastermind to assassinate a Saudi diplomate for a pretext to war has been given the GREEN LIGHT-GO. Israel will attack Iran in the next two weeks, which will bring about world war III. Martial Law will be implemented, effectively shutting down America, airwaves, internet, and annointing Obama as dictator-in-chief. This is being partially done to distract from the federal indictment of Eric Holder in Fast and Furious and its connections to the White House and other administration officials. It is also being done to suspend elections, to give Obama a 'presidential' moment like Bush had after 9-11 to justify war. War is always used to boost sagging ratings by presidents, to divert huge profits to those heavily invested in the industrial military complex and to push the world into more slavery and control. This must be exposed. Whether or not you like Alex Jones, you must see these articles and decide for yourself. Since it has been independently verified, you may wish to withhold any bias and let the information speak for itself.

To renegade students and labor thugs in the OWS movement: Greed has once again consumed the body politic, big time, and We the people need for YOU to get on it ASAP.
The fact: A major American political party raised $70 million in the 3rd quarter alone!
$70 million, brothers and sisters, at a time of double-dip recession, when trillions of dollars of debt are being piled on the backs of young bucks and fillies like YOU, your children, your grandchildren, their children, and on and on!
$70 million, you anti-capitalists, at a time when employment in decent-paying jobs has become more of an optical illusion than a Dream, thanks in part to treasonous Marxists who drive down wages and benefits for working Americans by importing tens of millions of unskilled, non-English speaking invaders from Mexico—for votes and power!
$70 million dollars, fellow occupiers, while millions of Americans are being foreclosed upon and forced to leave their homes because of reckless endangerment by power-mad Marxists who forced lenders to lower the time-honored underwriting standards in order to placate those who simply cannot afford homes, thereby effectively ending the American Dream for millions who used to be able to qualify!
$70 million dollars, OWS owls, at a time when 40-50 Americans are forced to grovel in the mud for food stamps just to survive!
In addition to these facts, fellow marchers, note that the leader of this political party has a goal of raising one billion dollars so that he can be reelected and continue his genocide against the middle class.
No doubt you are salivating at the thought of securing the names and addresses of the white Republicans guilty of the above-mentioned abuses?
Surprise, fellow communists and union thugs, the “guilty” party is none other than the Democrats, headed by a person of color who was supposed to usher in an age of “post-racial” utopia, but whom instead has turned our melting pot into a smoldering cauldron of racial hatred and enmity.
Repeat: The Democrat Party raised $70 million of its goal to raise one billion dollars for the reelection of an unqualified community organizer who hates America.
So, fellow marauders, now that you know the truth, what the hell are you going to do about it?

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on National Review Online-By R. JAMES WOOLSEY & SETH LEIBSOHN-On October 6, 2011:
“Shortly after 9/11, many thought it was imperative to teach about and promote the heroes of that deadly day. One such hero whose life and example we can never learn enough about was Rick Rescorla. Originally from England, he came to America and distinguished himself as an Army infantry officer in Vietnam. Later he became head of security at Morgan Stanley, and, after the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, he knew the terrorists would go after the Twin Towers again. He warned the authorities continually; moreover, he led regular evacuation drills between 1993 and 2001. On 9/11, he successfully led almost every Morgan Stanley employee out to safety. He himself did not make it. His last known words were, “As soon as I make sure everyone else is out.” He said those words to another Morgan Stanley employee who had yelled to him that he had to get out too. Rick Rescorla’s remains were never found.
Rick’s life was not wasted; he saved a lot of people. But if the government had listened to him before 9/11, he would have saved even more. Rick was somebody who should have been posted at the top of our intelligence community, but he wasn’t. Today, we are still not listening to the most creative and prophetic thinkers among us. One of them is Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American Islamic Forum on Democracy. He is the intellectual Rick Rescorla of our day.
Dr. Jasser, a practicing Muslim, is a physician and former lieutenant commander in the Navy — someone who, like Rick Rescorla, served his country with distinction, and continues to do so both in his medical practice and in his public warnings and teachings about the dangers from radical Islam. One of his efforts has been to confront members of Muslim Brotherhood organizations such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), who continually denigrate America. Jasser’s view is that we should promote the virtues of American freedom and tolerance, which American Muslims enjoy, and should also publicize the way our efforts abroad have given freedom to Muslims in other countries.
Indeed, while most so-called mainstream Muslim and Arab groups in America feed hysteria and spread conspiracy theories, Dr. Jasser despises the grievance narrative; he loves America. Now more than ever, he is the kind of man our government should listen to — and, more important, he is the kind of man our government should use.
But, although Dr. Jasser has offered to serve his country again, this administration has ignored this unique opportunity. Last year, recognizing the need for a shift in our thus-far-ineffective public-diplomacy program, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and others nominated Dr. Jasser to serve on the State Department’s U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy. The commission is charged with “Appraising U.S. Government activities intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics.” There could be nobody better suited to serve in this role. Here is some of what Dr. Jasser said when testifying — extemporaneously — before the House Committee on Homeland Security earlier this year:
“Until we have an ideological offense into the Muslim communities domestically and globally to teach liberty, to teach the separation of mosque and state, you are not going to solve this problem. . . .
. . . Our organization has . . . created a Muslim liberty project that looks at inoculating Muslims with the ideals of liberty, giving them the empowerment to counter imams, to feel that they can represent their own faith. . . .
This is our homeland. And we want to begin, if you will, a counter-jihad, an offense to counter these ideas. That, I think, is the best way to use our resources as a nation, and remember that the freedoms that we have don’t come with a cheap price, and we need to give back.”
This is, simply, Dr. Jasser’s life’s work. This is the kind of thought and talk we need more of, not less. This is the intellectual Rescorlaesque effort we should be promoting and the government should be availing itself of.
Upon his nomination, Dr. Jasser submitted reams of information about himself to the State Department and the White House Office of Personnel Management. He spent hours upon hours in interviews. He passed every clearance with flying colors, including receiving confirmation of a top-secret clearance. This is a man, after all, who gave eleven years of service to the U.S. Navy, including some very sensitive assignments. And, now, after 15 months of vetting, he has learned that his nomination has been “removed from consideration,” with no explanation.
What explanation could there be? Unlike some commission members, Dr. Jasser was not a donor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. But something else must have been at work as well. That something might have ranged from a lack of understanding of the dangerousness of jihadism and Islamism to a lack of respect for the muscular advocacy of the ideas of freedom and liberty. And, probably, one other thing was at work too: a political decision based on Dr. Jasser’s open criticism of the administration for its lack of clarity in the war of ideas and its inability to identify the ideology we are fighting. It should be noted, however, that Dr. Jasser is an equal-opportunity critic: He has spoken out against both the Bush and the Obama administrations when he believes they have faltered.
Clarity in the war of ideas, the ability to identify the ideology we are fighting, and expertise in the religion of Islam are precisely what we need. It’s ten years late, but not too late. It is a shame we will not soon be availing ourselves officially of Dr. Jasser’s work. It is work that we sorely need. Indeed, it is intellectual and rhetorical courage and heroism. We ignore and spurn it at our continued peril.”

News Release posted on Act for America!-By Gregg Edgar and Gordon C. James, Public Relations-On August 11, 2011:
“Washington, DC (August 31, 2011) – A coalition of diverse American Muslim leaders has announced support for a proposed bill in the Michigan State Assembly, HB 4679, that is intended to bar Michigan courts from enforcing any foreign law, if doing so violates any rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and/or the state of Michigan’s constitution.
Like many Americans, members of the American Islamic Leadership Coalition (AILC) have been observing the efforts of a growing number of state legislatures, which are seeking to address the incompatibility of various shari‘ah court systems around the world with the principles and foundations of our Constitutional republic and its laws. As American Muslims, we believe that the law should treat people of all faiths equally, while protecting Muslims and non-Muslims alike from extremist attempts to use the legal instrument of shari‘ah (also known as Islamic jurisprudence, or fiqh) to incubate, within the West, a highly politicized and dangerous understanding of Islam that is generally known as “Islamism,” or “radical Islam.”
We see no evidence that statutes like HB 4769 will adversely impact the free exercise of our personal pietistic observance of Islam, which is not in conflict with the U.S. or Michigan constitutions. We recognize that not only Muslims, but also Jews, Christians and all people of faith need the government to protect their right to peaceful assembly, mediation and arbitration free of coercion, but also within the bounds of American constitutional principles. Therefore, we stand together as a diverse coalition in support of any legislation that serves to protect and integrate our communities into the fabric of this great nation, by strengthening our accountability to the laws of the land, and the constitutions of the various states in which we live.
As American Muslims we are conscious of the fact that Muslim Brotherhood legacy groups and other Islamists and their surrogates in the U.S. are trying their best to portray any opposition to manifestations of shari‘ah law as “racism” and “discrimination against Muslims.” However, as a coalition of traditional, liberal and secular Muslim Americans, we denounce this fear-mongering and playing of the race card, which only serves to mask the Islamists’ highly politicized agenda. According to AILC member C. Holland Taylor, “the Islamist agenda threatens not only the well-being of the United States and its inhabitants, but also undermines and distorts the highest principles of Islam itself.”
“Michigan House Bill 4769 seeks to ensure that American Muslims can live in freedom and safety, in accordance with our constitutional principles, and not be enveloped by the tentacles of medieval, man-made laws that have been falsely accorded divine status,” said the AILC.
“To equate Bill 4769 to racism is not only dishonest, but is a poor and clumsy attempt at making ordinary Muslim Americans feel alien in their own homeland, while creating a rift between Muslims and the rest of our country,” said AILC member Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser. Michigan House Bill 4769 states:
“[To] ...limit the application and enforcement by a court, arbitrator, or administrative body of foreign laws that would impair constitutional rights; to provide for modification or voiding of certain contractual provisions or agreements that would result in a violation of constitutional rights; and to require a court, arbitrator, or administrative body to take certain actions to prevent violation of constitutional rights.”
The AILC statement reinforces the American Muslim community’s commitment to the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause and the separation between religion and state. Unfortunately, Islamist groups would like to compromise this separation and provide cover to medieval, misogynistic and homophobic laws that no Muslim is obligated to demand as public law.
“Shari‘ah law, wherever it has been applied in the public domain, be it in Iran, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, has resulted in untold misery and oppression of Muslims, in particular Muslim women, by Islamists and dictators who invoke shari‘ah law to justify their rule,” said AILC member Manda Ervin. “Many of us fled the Muslim world to escape shari‘ah law and to practice Islam in our personal lives, by moving to the USA and other western countries. We do not wish these laws to follow us here,” she concluded.
The Michigan state senators are not alone in expressing concern about foreign laws creeping into North America under the guise of religious freedom. Many Muslim academics, religious scholars and human rights activists have voiced their concern.
The contrast between what has occurred in Britain and in Canada provides a roadmap for how the U.S. may address these legal issues. In Britain, shari‘ah arbitration courts have been allowed to assume virtually unchecked control of legal arrangements in many Muslim communities. This is creating a ghettoized, medieval and separatist state within Britain. In Canada, however, local Muslims led strong opposition to the Islamists’ shari‘ah agenda and were successful in preventing its implementation, thereby sparing our Northern neighbor the fate of so many Muslims in the United Kingdom, where women are commonly subjected to forced marriage and the denial of basic human rights.
“We Muslims in Canada defeated an attempt by Islamists to sneak shari‘ah law into Ontario,” said AILC member Tarek Fatah, who has been on the front lines of this struggle for many years. “We recognized the damage shari‘ah had inflicted on Muslims in the UK, and its oppressive nature in Muslim-majority countries, and decided to oppose it. We urge American Muslims not to succumb to the Islamists’ propaganda, and to back the Michigan Bill, which will protect Muslims and non-Muslims alike from the impact of foreign laws that violate the U.S. or Michigan constitutions.”

Note: What follows is a web site that reveals a George Soros funded group titled “Arab American Institute (AAI)”, which is a self-described "nonpartisan" group, that was established in 1985 to promote "Arab American participation in the U.S. electoral system" and to advocate for the "domestic and policy concerns" of that demographic.
The AAI has developed a strong reputation for organizing "voter-education" campaigns and acting as a liaison between the Arab American community and the major national political parties. The AAI opposed the end of Saddam Hussein’s Ba’athist regime and opposes Israel’s security wall.
Also included is an excerpt from the booklet that reveals the historical background of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. and Canada, along with revealing that communities of Arab Americans and American born Muslims are now dominated by advocacy organizations that rose to prominence in the 1980s and have assumed a particularly important role after 9/11. These groups are linked in the American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC), which was set up by the former American Muslim Alliance (AMA), since linked with the Muslim American Society (MAS), along with the American Muslim Council (AMC), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC):

Agenda 21 - While America Slept!!!
Wake Up You Slumbering Giant!!!
Below is evidence by fellow patriot that documents what is going on behind the curtain and is now coming literally to our doorsteps. We must become informed and take action.
Trouble Linking Sustainable NJ and Agenda 21?
Some activists are saying that regardless of their explanations, many NJ officials do not see the link between Sustainable NJ and Agenda 21. Here are the jigsaw pieces connected. The attachments tell the story:
- The UN 1987 Brundtland Report defined Sustainable Development as development that shaped the "international community's attitude toward economic, social and environmental development." (See attached Word doc.: UNICEF Report UNICEF%20Report%20on%20Sustainable%20Development.docx, Par. 1, 7)
- This same theme for Sustainable Development was carried forward to The UN Rio Earth Summit in 1992 as, Agenda 21. (See attached pdf: UNICEF Report UNICEF%20Report%20on%20Sustainable%20Development.pdf, Par. 4-6)
- In the UN's 2002 Sustainable Development Report, "the three principle dimensions of economic growth, social equity and protection of the environment" were operationalized. (See attached pdf: UN Sustainable Development Strategies UN%20Sustainable%20Development%20Strategies.pdf, Par 2,3)
- The UN's Sustainable Development program, or Agenda 21 was implemented in the US under the 1994 President's Council on Sustainable Development. (See attached pdf: PCSD Vision for Sustainable Development PCSD%20Vision%20for%20Sustainability.pdf, Par 2:#2)
- The name Agenda 21 was tactically removed from public's view to avoid scrutiny on the recommendation of PCSD advisor, J. Gary Lawrence. (See attached pdf: Millennium Papers Millenium%20Papers%20-%20Lawrence.pdf, Page 5 - Top of page to end of par 2.) (see page 4, Par 1-2 for "equity, economy, environment")
- You will find the identical mission, goals and terminology in Sustainable Development programs across the nation. (Attached pdf: Sustainable NJ homepage Sustainable%20NJ%20homepage.pdf, Par 1, Bullet 4)
Identical or similar Sustainable Development or Smart Growth plans are being implemented across the nation. They call for open spaces, limited vehicular traffic, light rail systems and multi-use dwellings. Conservation easements, eminent domain, TDR, (Trade of Development Rights,) wetlands and endangered species designations are all being used to confiscate citizens' property rights. The overarching objective is to reduce individual property and nudge humans toward hi-density urban dwellings.
The key to avoiding the loss of property rights is to avoid any government grants. They come with severe hidden strings that are later found to be unalterable. Sustainable development and environmentalism are healthy and good ideas. In America though, the terms have been co-opted by a UN based political agenda. Communities leaders are becoming aware.
- Bonner County Idaho officials are protecting their citizens through a "Property Rights Council" whose mission is to protect private property rights from "governmental and intergovernmental activities." (Attached pdf: Bonner Cty Property Rights Council Bonner%20Cty%20Property%20Rights%20Council078.pdf)
- The programs look innocent and desirable: http://ccgovernment.carr.org/ccg/plan/sustainability-plan.pdf
- Carroll County, Maryland and 9 other communities have pulled out of the Sustainable Development programs and dozens more are pushing back: http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/6542-maryland-county-cancels-agenda-21-participation
There are plenty of original documents to validate that Agenda 21/Sustainable Development/Smart Growth are alive and well, just using some warm and fuzzy names. Public officials need to be aware so they can protect their citizens. New Jersey is up to its eyeballs in the unhealthy iteration of sustainable development, but officials are shielded from the full story. This is one case where green is NOT good.
All the best,
John
This article is for my black brother, a community leader and little league football coach who gets his news solely from the liberal mainstream media. Hopefully it will help him to understand why I, his big brother, is working with those white tea party people against his beloved black president.
This article is also for my black relatives who gave me a chilly reception at my grandmother's 100th birthday party. I learned through the family grapevine they resent my involvement in the tea party and consider me an embarrassment to the family.
Well, I say to my embarrassed relatives, blame my instincts on the mentoring and leadership of my dad. My dad has been a Christian man of character and honor all of my life. So, when I see a characterless liberal political hack occupying my beloved country's Oval Office, I refuse to join the flock of black sheep worshiping him because we share the same skin color.
To my relatives who have thrown their Christian values, principles and brains out of the window to give their black idol a pass, you guys are the ones who should be ashamed of yourselves. Marcus family tradition has drilled into us that it means something to be a Marcus; an adherence to a higher standard. YOUR SELLOUT TO SKIN COLOR EMBARRASSES ME! If you detect a bit of anger, you are correct.
Watching MSNBC white host Lawrence O'Donnell chastising black presidential candidate Herman Cain for not participating in the 1960s civil rights movement infuriated me. O'Donnell accused Cain of cowardly sitting on the sidelines while blacks and whites marched and protested for black civil rights. How dare this white guy who does not have a clue what it was like to be black in America in the 1960s attack a black person for not responding to racism the way he thinks he should have responded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wmpBXFJLqw&feature=related
In the 60's, most blacks did not march or protest in the streets, but fought for freedom in their own private ways; entrepreneurship, prayer, striving for excellence and etc. A black buddy of mine who went from being incarcerated as a teenager to becoming an art director in a prominent advertising agency attributes his success to a black high school art teacher, Lindy Jordan. Mr. Jordan mentored so many black youths, a scholarship was founded in his honor. Mr. Jordan was never seen in the streets protesting for civil rights. I submit that Mr. Jordan fought for black liberation and equality in the best way he knew how to fight; by mentoring black youths.
But, leave it to this probably former hippie spoiled brat white boy, O'Donnell, to think all blacks who did not march in the streets must have been Uncle Toms. O'Donnell's liberal arrogance is off the chain. In my opinion Lawrence O'Donnell owes Mr. Jordan and other black American civil rights pioneers an apology.
O'Donnell is yet another white racist arrogant liberal attempting to dictate what is and is not acceptable black behavior. White liberal actress Janeane Garofalo displayed the same racist arrogance when she proclaimed black Republicans Michael Steele and Herman Cain to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
LISTEN UP, O'Donnell, Garofalo and all you other pompous liberal plantation slave massas. By the Grace of God, we black Americans are FREE; free to be successful entrepreneurs such as Herman Cain and countless other blacks rather than government dependent welfare recipients.
We blacks are free to live outside of your liberal stereotypical dictates. I prefer sushi over fried chicken. Does that make me “less” black? Probably yes, in the minds of arrogant liberal racists. How dare white liberals appoint themselves authorized to dictate what is and is not authentic black behavior.
O'Donnell followed up his program in which he spanked Cain for not being black enough with analysis from liberal plantation black overseer, Rev. Al Sharpton. As expected, Sharpton further trashed Cain.
Based on Sharpton's betrayal of black America and his racially divisive and evil Tawana Brawley scandal, Al Sharpton is not even worthy to shine Herman Cain's shoes. And yet, this is the guy the left has appointed “spokesperson” for black America; again confirming their arrogance. Herman Cain's story is one of inspiration, courage and honor which epitomizes the American Dream.
If these paragons of tolerance and compassion on the left such as O'Donnell and Sharpton truly gave a d--- about black America, they would herald Herman Cain as a hero. They would celebrate Cain as a shining example for black youths, illustrating the limitless success which can be achieved via education, hard work and character.
Sadly, inspiring black youths to pursue their dreams is NOT the intention of O'Donnell, Sharpton and the left. Their intention is to create another generation of Americans dependent on big government for survival. With Obama leading the campaign, they seek to create dumbed down Democrat voters who view themselves as victims and hate everything which has made America great; including capitalism and individual freedom.
O'Donnell's question to Cain about his lack of involvement is the 1960's civil rights movement was to portray him as an Uncle Tom. It was despicable. So, every time I hear these creeps on the left pontificate about their compassion for blacks, it turns my stomach.
The left views and values blacks only as pawns in their quest to portray America as the greatest source of evil in the world. The left deems happy America loving blacks who have achieved success via traditional routes such as education and hard work to be “paradigm breakers” and MUST be destroyed.
So, please forgive my lack of respect for my white “would be” liberal slave massas and their traitorous black overseers. These people are evil and must be defeated.

Posted on The Heritage Foundation-By Andy Keim-On October 11, 2011:
“How much do high-earning families need to pay before the Obama administration can finally say they are finally contributing their “fair share?” If such a number even exists, we have apparently not found it yet, if the latest proposed tax hike is any indication.
The Heritage Foundation’s Curtis Dubay explains the consequences of the President’s latest tax proposal:
“Taxpayers earning more than $1 million per year are investors and businesses that are directly responsible for creating jobs. Investors provide the capital to existing businesses and startups so they can expand and add new workers. Raising their taxes would deprive them of resources they could invest in promising businesses that are looking to add employees. Raising their tax rate would deter them from taking the risk to invest.”
In the long term, lower-income families will feel the sting of the tax hike as well. In another report, Dubay says job-creators immediately affected by the tax will refuse to hire additional workers simply because it won’t make any economic sense to do so:
“Many businesses pay their taxes through their owners’ individual income tax returns. The President’s tax hikes would be a direct tax on these important employers. A recent study from President Obama’s own Treasury Department shows that 90 percent of businesses that pay taxes through the individual income tax code and employ workers would pay the higher taxes under the President’s plan. Higher taxes would reduce these businesses’ incentives to hire new workers and their ability to retain or increase compensation for their existing employees.”
Ultimately, the U.S. government’s self-destructive policies will harm lower-income families far more than the more successful families and companies who can shoulder the burden at the cost of a reduced work force.
“The millionaire tax would end up costing the U.S. economy more jobs than the President’s jobs plan it is supposed to pay for would ever create. It would ruin American competitiveness among other developed countries,” Dubay says.
If the Obama administration truly values job-creation, it should focus on the real root of the deficit: runaway spending brought on by years of government expansion and poor decision-making.
What do you think? How can the President’s jobs plan create employment opportunities when it makes hiring new employees more costly?”

I. After Obama’s Jobs Plan Fails in Senate, GOP Pushes Its Own Plan!
Posted on CNSNews.com-By Matt Cover-On October 12, 2011:
“(CNSNews.com) – House Republicans say they are moving ahead with their own ideas on the economy now that President Barack Obama’s jobs plan failed in the Senate Tuesday night. They called on President Obama to work with them on their ideas.
Although the Democrats hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, the president’s bill, the American Jobs Act of 2011, was defeated on a 50-49 vote, with two Democrats – Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana – joining with the Republicans against the bill.
At a Capitol Hill news conference on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that now that Obama’s plan had failed, the GOP would turn to its own ideas, adding that the GOP would also be willing to work with Democrats on areas of common ground.
“Nearly a month ago, House Republicans outlined – for the president – areas of common agreement where we could work together,” Boehner said. “The fact is Republicans have a plan – our plan for America’s job creators that we outlined back in May – and we have been working since then to enact the ideas outlined in this proposal.”
Boehner said that Republicans would keep working on areas of common ground, stressing that finding ways to improve the economy was what the American people wanted.
“We’re going to continue to work with the president in order to create a better environment,” he said. “Not everything the president outlined is something that we agree with, certainly not everything we’ve outlined is something the president would agree with.”
At the same press conference, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that Obama’s campaign for his own proposal had “failed” and called on Democrats to work with Republicans instead of pursuing an all-or-nothing approach.
“[T]he Senate’s action last night proved that the month-long campaign that the White House has been on to promote the president’s bill failed,” Cantor said. “The president’s bill does not have the bipartisan support needed to pass because we believe that it is contrary to what is needed right now to help small businesses grow.”
Cantor said that Republicans would introduce some of their ideas after the planned congressional recess next week, including a bill to repeal a 3 percent income tax withholding requirement for government contractors.
Despite the calls for common ground, Republicans made clear they would not support Democratic ideas that contradict their basic principles, saying that they would oppose ideas that raise new taxes or incur more federal borrowing.
GOP Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) said that part of the Republican agenda was opposing aspects of Obama’s plans that Republicans thought were bad policy.
“[W]hen this Congress began, House Republicans put forth a plan for America’s job creators,” Hensarling said. “Now, in this plan, it means that if the president wants to spend money we don’t have for jobs that we never get, we will oppose him. We believe that as part of this plan America has to be on a fiscally sustainable path.”
“If the president wants to increase taxes on job creators, we will oppose that,” said Hensarling. “We are trying to ensure that there is a fairer, simpler, more competitive tax code.”

WITHOUT PESKY 'CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION' !!
SENATOR MARK KIRK R-ILL. TOLD THE HOUSE THAT WHAT IRAN WAS GOING TO DO IN THE
US WAS A " WAS A ACT OF WAR" AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH.
Just heard Pres. Obama telling his admin group look for all ways to implement his jobs bill that would not take congressional approval.
My response to this, the budget has not been set, so congress should cut department budgets by $2 for every $1 use to defeat the senate, congress and the American people
I HAVE WATCHED EVERY DEBATE OF PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS. AND I HAVE MADE MY OWN JUDGEMENTS.
ROMNEY- A MAN OF EXCEPTIONAL BUSINESS ACUMEN BUT VERY STUBBORN RE ANY MISTAKES HE HAS MADE I QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT HE HAS LEARNED ANYTHING ENOUGH FROM THOSE MISTAKES TO MAKE CORRECTIONS IN HIS REASONING
PERRY- HE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN TEXAS, A STATE THA5T HAS NO INCOME TAX, IS A RIGHT TO WORK STATE WHICH DOES NOT GIVE HIM ANY EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH COMPLEX LABOR OR TAX PROBLEMS
CAIN- A REMARKABLE GENTLEMAN IN MANY RESPECTS BIT I DON 'T BELIEVE HE UNDERSTANDS THE COMPLEXITIES OF OUR SOCIETY AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ABLE TO GRASP THE VASTNESS OF THE VARIABLES THAT MAKE UP OUR SOCIETY. LAST NITE HE REFERRED TO HIS TEAM OF ECONOMISTS THAT CREATED HIS 999 PLAN. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY 82 YEARS THAT THESE HIGH PRICED PROFFESSIONALS DEAL MAINLY WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THE AFFLUENT AND HAVE NO CONCEPT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD. MY 50+ YEARS AS AN INCOME TAX PROFFESSIONAL PROVES TO ME THAT HE HAS NO UNDERSTANDING WHATEVER OF THE EFFECTS TAXES HAVE ON THE COMMON PEOPLE, WHERE I HAVE 50 YEARS OF OBSERVING THOSE EFFECTS AND HIS 999 PLAN PUTS EVERONE IN ONE SIMPLE LITTLE BOX WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY INDIVIDUALS SITUATION.
PAUL- A STRICT LIBERTARIAN WHO DOESNT SEEM TO UNDEWRSTAND THAT LIFE IS NOT NESESSARILY WITHIN THE STRICT BOUNDARIES OF LIBERTIAN CONCEPTS. LIFE IN OUR SOCIETY RESULTS IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH CANNOT BE RECONCILED TO STRICT LIBERTARIAN PRINCIPLES
GINGRICH- A MAN WHO HAS STUDIED A WIDE VARIETY OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS AND IS WELL AWARE OF THE ADVANTAGES AND PITFALLS OF EACH- HIS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WOULD PROVE INVALUABLE IN A VICE PRESIDENTIAL ROLE
HUNTSMAN- AN EXCELLENT STATE GOVERNOR AND A GOOD AMBASADORE TO CHINA WITH A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE FORIEGN AFFARS EXPERIENCE BUT I BELIEVE THAT A MORE VARIED EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY FOR A PRESIDENT
SANTORUM- I ALWAYS LIKED HIM AS A SENATOR ANDS HE HAS A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE CURRENT POLITICAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY PRESENT IN WASHINGTON AND HOW TO GET THINGS DONE IN CONGRESS

Posted on Examiner-By Anthony Martin, Conservative Examiner-On October 10, 2011:
“Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it.
According to investigative citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh, sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that early on, Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J. Shapiro, devised at least part of the framework of what would later become Operation Fast and Furious. It was Shapiro who first described the details of the proposed scheme early in 2009 just after the Obama Administration took office.
Vanderboegh relates the following:
“My sources say that as Hillary’s trusted subordinate, it was Shapiro who first described to the Secretary of State the details of what has become the Gunwalker Scandal.
The precise extent to which Hillary Clinton’s knowledge of, and responsibility for, the Gunwalker Plot, lies within the memories of these two men, Shapiro and Steinberg, sources say.
The sources also express dismay that the Issa committee is apparently restricting itself to the Department of Justice and not venturing further afield. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, they say, needs to summon these two men and their subordinates—especially at the Mexico Desk at State—and question them under oath as to what Hillary Clinton knew about the origins of the Gunwalker Scandal and when she knew it.
There is one other thing those sources agree upon. The CIA, they say, knows “everything” about the “Mexican hat dance” that became the Gunwalker Scandal.”
The ‘Steinberg’ mentioned in the quote above is Hillary Clinton’s former Deputy Secretary of State, who was appointed directly by Barack Obama and was considered from the start to be an ‘Obama man’ whose objective was to carry out the wishes of the President in the State Department.
Hillary had said of Steinberg,
“Clinton said Steinberg had been a “fixture” at meetings with the National Security Council (NSC) and frequently represented the US State Department at the White House.”
That statement is key. Hillary herself stayed out of all meetings dealing with strategy concerning the euphemism the Administration used to designate Gunwalker, ‘strategy meetings on Mexico and the problem of drug and gun trafficking.’ Hillary’s absence would give the impression that she had no connection to the scheme while making sure that her views were represented by Steinberg and Shapiro, both of whom were fully complicit with the details that developed concerning how to pad statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico.
According to sources, Hillary was obsessed with gun statistics that would prove that ‘90% of the firearms used by Mexican criminals come from the United States.’ As previouly reported, that meme, repeated incessantly by Democratic Senators, Barack Obama, certan members of the ATF, Janet Napolitano, and Hillary Clinton was patently and blatantly false. The fact that they all knew it was false is borne out by the lengths to which each of the above named co-conspirators went to attempt to ‘prove’ that the 90% figure was true.
Again, Vanderboegh relates the following:
“My sources say that this battle of the “statistics” was taken very seriously by all players—the White House, State and Justice. Yet, WHY was this game of statistics so important to the players? If some weapons from the American civilian market were making it to Mexico into the hand of drug gang killers that was bad enough. What was the importance of insisting that it was 90 percent, 80 percent, or finally 70 percent? Would such statistics make any difference to the law enforcement tactics necessary to curtail them? No.
This statistics mania is similar to the focus on “body counts” in Vietnam. Yet if Vietnam body counts were supposed to be a measure of how we were winning that war, the focus on the 90 percent meme was certainly not designed to be a measure of how we were winning the war against arming the cartels, but rather by what overwhelming standard we were LOSING. Why?
Recall what the whistleblower ATF agents told us right after this scandal broke in the wake of the death of Brian Terry: “ATF source confirms ‘walking’ guns to Mexico to ‘pad’ statistics.”
Thus, from the beginning the scheme was to pad statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico in order to be in a strengthened position to call for gun bans and strict gun control at a time when it was politically unpopular. Further, the scheme would involve a made-up statistic, out of thin air--90%--which then had to be proved by using civilian gun retailers along the southern border as unsuspecting pawns to walk U.S. guns into Mexico by ATF agents, straw purchasers, and others with connections to Mexican drug cartels.
And the evidence points to the fact that Hillary Clinton was one of the original Administration officials who was ‘in the loop’ on the scheme from the very beginning.”

I. Hillary's enemies list now includes Gunwalker reporters!
Alinsky’s Rules At Work!
Posted on Examiner-By Anthony Martin, Conservative Examiner-On October 8, 2011:
“Nixon was not the only one with an ‘enemies list.’ It is well-documented that Bill Clinton had such a list. So did George W. Bush. And, by extension, due to her marriage to the former President, Hillary Clinton has such a list. And apparently the reporters who have exposed her involvement in the Gunwalker scandal are on it. One reporter in particular was informed today by sources inside the State Department that he is now on that list.
So far no one in the mainstream media has reported the bombshell information revealed over the past 2 days by Mike Vanderboegh that indicates Hillary was in the loop on the illegal scheme from Day One. Thus, the mainstream media has thus far avoided Hillary’s ire.
This is no surprise. It took the media several months to begin to report the story of ‘Operation Fast and Furious,’ also known Project Gunwalker, in spite of the fact that this writer, Kurt Hofmann, David Codrea, and Mike Vanderboegh had been writing stories about it since December of 2010--Vanderboegh and Codrea being the first.
The mainstream media is slow to report anything negative about this administration. It is unknown how long it will take them to get on the trail that leads to Hillary. And doing so comes with a heavy price to pay. Ask Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News, who revealed to several high-profile reporters last week that she had been verbally abused by the White House staff, including yelling and choice expletives, for her tenacious and thorough reporting of the Gunwalker scandal.
Nonetheless, the story of Hillary Clinton’s deep involvement in Gunwalker is out, and the same sources that led to the discovery of the DOJ-ATF illegal scheme to deliberately place American guns into the hands of Mexican criminals have now directly implicated Hillary in the scandal, as reported yesterday here and here.
At every single juncture as this story has unfolded, the sources have been proved to be reliable and accurate.
Thus, Hillary Clinton’s ire. A source told Mike Vanderboegh that she is livid over the relevations concerning her involvement, so much so that she personally read Vanderboegh’s 2 articles on the State Department and the Secretary of State in the Gunwalker scheme.
And she is not happy, to say the least.
Vanderboegh relates his conversation with an insider who has direct knowledge of the reaction of the State Department and Hillary Clinton to their being implicated in the scandal, part of which is provided here:
“A source familiar with the inner workings of the command deck at Foggy Bottom reports that my “In at the beginning” series (here andhere) has excited some interest in the mid-level permanent bureaucracy there and that links have been forwarded to the Secretary of State’s office.
“So?” I said. “And?”
“They don’t like where you’re going with this.”
“Outstanding,” I replied.
“SECSTATE doesn’t like it.”
“REALLY? She reads my stuff?”
“She read your latest.”
“All the shit going on all around the world and she’s worried about me? I don’t believe it.”
“Believe it.”
“And she doesn’t like it?”
“She doesn’t like where you’re going, is what I hear. She doesn’t like the attention about Fast & Furious.”
“Damn. . . I HAVE arrived.”
“You’ll arrive on the ‘kill list’ if she gets pissed enough.”
I laughed.
“You’re fishin’ in very deep waters in a very small boat, son.”
“Just call me Jonah,” I told him.
He didn’t laugh.”
Further, Vanderboegh states that the only woman in the entire world who scares him more than his ex-wife is Hillary Clinton—and with good reason. There is a rich history of allegations indicating untold woes that befall anyone who crosses her or her husband.”

The so-called “underwear bomber’ shocked the courtroom in day two of his trial by changing his plea to guilty for all eight charges facing the brainwashed terrorist.
By the way, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, the young man is a Muslim and proud to be a soldier in Allah's war which seeks to kill all Americans and Jews.
In a telling moment, the young Islamaofascist confessed to what all open-minded people have known for a long time:
The Koran instructs Muslims to wage Jihad against ‘infidels.’
As reported at the reference:
DETROIT - A Nigerian man said Wednesday he tried to bring down an international flight over Detroit with a bomb in his underwear in retaliation for the killing of Muslims worldwide, taking a federal court by surprise as he pleaded guilty on the second day of his trial.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who had never denied the accusations against him, calmly answered questions from U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds before pleading guilty to all eight charges he faced, including conspiracy to commit terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
He then told the court that the underwear bomb was a "blessed weapon to save the lives of innocent Muslims."
"The United States should be warned that if they continue to persist and promote the blasphemy of Mohammed and the prophets ... the United States should await a great calamity that will befall them through the hands of the mujahedeen soon," said Abdulmutallab, who faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
"If you laugh with us now we will laugh with you later on the day of judgment," he said.”
Once again, the myth of Islam as a “religion of peace” is debunked, directly from the mouth of a mass murderer wanna be.
When will the PC-left recognize and accept the truth about Muslim killers disguised in Sheep’s clothing?

Dr. Brad Lyles, bless his heart, finds it inexplicable that America’s exceptionalism is being trivialized. Why, he asks, are elements in America working to marginalize our freedoms, our culture, and our inheritance? Neither Dr. Lyles nor the majority of the American people have the answer.
You will not get this answer anywhere else. It is my personal story. I lay in bed this morning thinking about the world’s present predicament. As usual, I picked up a pen and yellow pad and started writing. After several tries, I ended with the following paragraphs.
Mathematicians make logic with numbers, although limited to physical reality. Astrologers and numerologists make logic with numbers as they apply to our lives. We understand, to a large extent, how subatomic particles behave. From this understanding, through mathematical formulas, we understand quantity, the making of physical reality. Through geometry, the ancients found the characteristics or the qualities of human beings.
We have the choice of taking the path of least resistance. It was like trying to climb a greased pole. When I departed my old life, a sign of what was to come was in the fact that I departed on Good Friday and arrived in Miami on Easter Sunday for the first day of my new life. Since I’m not religious, at the time I didn’t give it much thought.
In 1975, I decided to take legal action against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and to buy a sailboat and go to sea, two unpopular ideas. I was strictly on my own when I studied the Constitution and the legal procedure for bringing legal action against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. I felt picked. I felt that voices from the past were speaking to me. This occurred when my second wife was divorcing me and my business enterprise was on the rocks. I was at a jumping off place. I could either fall into the abyss or fly with eagles.
I’m reading Shirley MacLaine’s I’m Over That. Shirley believes that extraterrestrial entities are observing us, and that they are hoping for what they call galactic synchronization. This connects with my thoughts. Shirley says, “The ‘good’ alien would challenge us to be better ourselves; and we are not up to that challenge right now. We are obsessed with evil, fear, protection, and the entitlement of being looked after. Abdicating self-responsibility is our middle name. We want government, the church, and our ‘system’ to take care of us.” “We don’t have 50 states,” say Shirley. “We have 51—the state of denial.”
Shirley talks about a magnetic shift. It could occur, now that we are going to reach a point on December 21, 2012 when our solar system is in exact alignment with the center of the universe. It happens every 26,000 years, so we know nothing. We do know that magnetic shifts have occurred in the past. There are areas of low and high magnetism. In low areas people are freer thinking.
In my old life, if anything could go wrong it did. In my new life, when everything could well have gone wrong, everything went right. I rose from the ashes of my old life to a new and better life—not Christian, but legendary (the legend of the phoenix). I departed, found my path of destiny, and was led to fulfillment of my responsibilities in this life.
We come into our present existence with our archetypal consciousness, and each with a special purpose. The object is to become able to naturally cope with whatever life brings us. The orthodoxy is determined that this will never happen, for the sake of control. Various orthodoxies hold that their god is the only god. Extremes on that point of view are responsible for such as taking down the World Trade Center and killing thousands of people, or to a lesser extent, to government entitle everyone through redistribution of the wealth, thereby to rob us of our means of living independent lives.
But getting back to the story of my life, with my life much improved, I made a second departure in 1981, this time impetuously. I learned the hard way, the only way any of us really learn. On April Fool’s Day 1999, appropriately, Karen and I returned to square one, Portland, Oregon. We purchased an RV and hit the road. I was back on my path of destiny.
In November 2007, going on nine years of living in an RV, Karen said to me, “Joe, I hate to think about living in this RV the rest of my life.” At the very moment that Karen made the remark, the Veteran’s Administration was making its decision. I had applied for disability pay. I’m a World War II veteran. I left service to my country with my ears permanently ringing. A doctor told me that it was from my combat experience. He said that as I aged my hearing would slowly get worse and worse. I applied for a job and was turned down because of being hard of hearing. In July 2005, I applied for veteran’s disability. A week after Karen’s remark, I received notice that I was approved for 100 percent disability. We could buy a home.
Going back to the 1970s, I was a successful entrepreneur. First Nixon’s price controls, then government created inflation put me out of business. My second wife decided to divorce me when her future looked uncertain. Had government minded its business and let me mind mine, this would not have happened. It was all done in the interest in helping those who needed government help. Due to this quaint idea, it was necessary for me to be helped. It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul. The only people helped are politicians.
Shirley said there are areas of low and high magnetism. In low areas people are freer thinking. Karen and I bought our dream home in the tall timber near Mt. Hood, Oregon, in an area of low magnetism. Ever since 1975, when I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me, my spiritual guides have been leading me.
For a “Path of Destiny” Numerology and The Divine Triangle gives me the number 7. “Your depth of character and seriousness destine you to be a teacher of ethics. You psychically separate the true from the false and can discover and reveal some of the mysteries of life to a waiting world. . .Your example and public image could benefit a whole community and eventually the world.”
In numerology, 9 is selflessness and compassion. It desires to apply its energy to universal service. This is the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world. I’m now in my 9 cycle.
It is an amazing thing, those voices of the past I heard when I studied the Constitution. Dr. Lyles wrote that the U.S. Constitution enumerated the rights of U.S. citizens and further declared all powers not expressly granted to the government remained with the people. Psychologist Carl Jung called it the collective unconsciousness. He coined the word synchronicity. Shirley believes that extraterrestrial entities are observing us, and that they are hoping for what they call galactic synchronization. I learned my God-given rights and synced with “Higher Law,” the background of American constitutional law.

Although President Obama and his dedicated Marxist partners in the Democrat Party will never admit as much, the shellacking administered to Obama’s $447 billion tax and spend orgy was very much a bipartisan response to a very imprudent proposal.
Despite Obama’s broken-record admonition to “Pass the bill NOW,” originally issued on September 8, the Democrat-controlled Senate waited more than a month to bring the bill to a vote, and then only after modifying the terms.
When asked why the U.S. Senate was failing to heed the urgency demanded by the President, Majority Leader Harry Reid explained that other Senate business had greater priority.
And yet President Obama continued to harass Republicans with rhetoric which suggested that were it not for the GOP, millions of unemployed Americans would be on the way to ‘shovel ready’ jobs.
Of course, Obama ignored the potential damage to the economy and job growth that would occur as a result of confiscating money from people who are job creators, and funneling said monies to Washington, D.C. bureaucrats who already wasted nearly $1 trillion dollars in the failed Stimulus-1 fiasco.
What America has learned from the latest Obama stumble is that fallen Messiahs from Kenya do not accept defeat with grace, as confirmed by Obama’s statement after vote in the Senate:
"Ultimately, the American people won't take 'no' for an answer. It's time for Congress to meet their responsibility, put their party politics aside and take action on jobs right now."
Actually, when it comes to wasteful spending and increased taxes, the American people said NO! most emphatically in November 2010!
The problem is that Obama and Democrats in general refuse to abide by the will of voters, and continue to advocate policies that will inhibit job creation and economic growth.
It is way past time for President Obama to stop embarrassing himself and the presidency.
Just say NO! to more spending and taxes, and take unemployment seriously, Mr. President!
