Tea Party Radio was wide-open tonight, and one of our callers mentioned a site he had been on. I happen to be a member of that organization, and promised I would post the information here.
Back when Dale Robertson was having back surgery and I was temporarily hosting Tea Party Radio with David Toy, we had the founder of www.patriotsunion.org on. JB Williams and co-founder Timothy Harrington spent an hour with us, as well as fellow co-conspirators extraordinaire Twana Blevins and Arnie Rosner.
The initiatives and actions that The United States Patriots Union engage in are extremely focused, organized, targeted and, judging by the flood of e-mail I get from across the country, effective.
The Patriots Union is probably a little more structured than the Tea Party movement, with a stricter code of conduct than will be encountered in some other groups, and actually pre-dates the Tea Party. But the goals are very much the same as our goals are here. Many local Tea Party groups are not willing to vocally address the most important issues that face us. Tea Party.org is one of the few that continue to stand up for the things that most orgs don't have the cajones to. The Patriots Union is not aligned with the Tea Party as such, although many members have that affiliation, as do I also. What matters is that intensity of spirit, of Constitutional integrity and the Rule of Law that all true Patriots adhere to and are willing to fight for.
One of the latest initiatives is the Patriots Union and Veteran Defenders Call for Action, the March on Washington on 11-11-11...Veterans Day, to demand the resignation or impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama, Joseph Biden and every member of the Obama Administration.
I was honored to be the spearhead e-mail for Arnie Rosner's pilot program the E-Mail Warriors Project, where my letter to my Senate Reps was sent to all 7,451 elected officials, from city and county, to the State and Federal offices holders in Congress, each one personalized. I've known Arnie from the early days of the American Grand Jury, where we worked with founder Bob Campbell to remove this Kenyan usurper from office during and after the fiasco election of '08. At 70+ yrs young, I'd be hard pressed to find someone with more energy and dedication than that man, JB, Tim, Twana, Miki and a host of others.
As with most of us here, we belong to a number of organizations, but we must choose those who we believe best suit our goals and can get the job done to interact with.
The address is www.patriotsunion.ning.com. The members-only address is www.patriotsunion.org. You don't have to be a member to read most of the information posted there, but dues-paying membership is required to access the heart of the organization where the real action is, and it's not expensive by any means.
Dale Robertson and Steve Eichler continue to do an extraordinary job here on Tea Party.org, with the essential participation of all these great Patriots involved here. Check out the United States Patriots Union also, if you are so inclined to continue the up-hill battle we face against the now-entrenched hordes of communists, Marxists, radical anarchists, and the facilitator of it all, the Islamofascist Barack Hussein Obama. We have got our work cut out for us.
United We Stand! God Bless you all, and God Bless the United States of America!!!
How come the tea party is not running its own candidate?
Its obvious that the GOP is running a bunch of RINOs so Barry will win and be in office when the double dip hits and therefore be the one with egg on his face when we are all eating cats.
Couldn't the Tea Party offer up an alternative.
Iven if that candidate did not win, the millions of votes would be a bargaining chip in the next presidential elections. I would show how big the conservative movement really is.
And how come somebody won't close the frigging borders?
Come on, drugs keep pouring in to get our kids hooked. Does no one have a soul?
Tea Party, do something. Resurect the Minute Men, do something. Anything.
EXTREMISTS ON PARADE
Proof! Wall Street protests no 'spontaneous uprising'
Major demonstration directed by leftist shadow organization
5:01 pm Eastern
By Aaron Klein
© 2011
A public relations firm closely partnered with the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation represented last week's anti-Wall Street march past millionaires' homes in New York, WND has learned.
Fenton Communications has been behind the public relations strategy of a who's who of far-left causes, organizations and activists, from Soros himself to Health Care for America Now to crafting strategies for MoveOn.org and a litany of anti-war groups.
Fenton, which works closely with Tides, first made its name representing communist dictatorships in the 1980s.
Fenton's founder is tied to President Obama and to a slew of Saul Alinsky-style community organizing groups directly involved in recent U.S. street protests, including in Wisconsin and New York.
Fenton's fingerprints on promoting and organizing the march bring further evidence suggesting the anti-Wall Street movement is a well-planned campaign and not the spontaneous uprising its leaders claim.
Here's the rundown on Obama's ties to "communists, socialists and other anti-American extremists" – all in "The Manchurian President."
Already, questions have been raised by the news media about Adbusters, the magazine that is reported to have come up with the Occupy Wall Street idea after Arab Spring protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The media has been probing Adbusters' source of funding – the Tides Foundation.
Tides acts like a massive clearinghouse of donations to a slew of liberal groups. Critics have alleged the center acts to obscure the ultimate sources of donations by collecting significant sums of money from a few large donors and then funneling the money to thousands of liberal causes.
Soros' Open Society Institute is a prominent Tides Center donor, giving the group $3.5 million between 2007 and 2009 alone.

Posted on Act for America!-By Jennifer Scholtes, CQ Staff-On October 17, 2011:
“Pleas for the Obama administration to focus counterterrorism efforts in the Western Hemisphere have begun resonating on Capitol Hill this week following news that the Iranian government allegedly wanted Mexican drug cartels to carry out an assassination.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan is rounding up cosponsors for legislation he introduced Oct. 11 after hearing the announcement that U.S. officials disrupted a plot by those within the Iranian government to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. The resolution (H Res 429) specifically sites the alleged foiled plot as one of the reasons the administration should include the Western Hemisphere as an area of focus in its 2012 National Strategy for Counterterrorism, to focus on the threat posed by “Iran’s growing presence and activity” in the region.
The fact that there is a relationship between Iran’s militant group Hezbollah and the cartels prevalent in Mexico is not a new discovery, Duncan said. He pointed to reports of the capture of Hezbollah agents along the U.S.-Mexican border as proof of that link.
“We have been trying to raise the awareness for months,” Duncan said during a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I don’t believe anyone who has been following this has been caught off guard, but I think America as a whole was caught off guard. And I think it’s time for us to wake up in this country that this is a real threat to the Western Hemisphere.”
Duncan has gotten New York Democrat Brian Higgins to sign on as a cosponsor of the legislation, which states there is significant cause for concern and further investigation into the threat of Iran’s influence. The resolution also calls on the White House to use an existing counterterrorism taskforce to look at Iran and its affiliates’ activities in the United States and the rest of the Western world as well as submit a report to Congress on a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy to defend against Iranian interests.
California Rep. Howard L. Berman, the ranking Democrat on the panel, said that while security-related issues in the region deserve close attention, it’s a mistake to view the Western Hemisphere as “a constellation of threats, rather than a series of opportunities.”
“It is critical that our policy toward the region be based on solid facts,” Berman said. “Yet we sometimes seem to be chasing ghosts or creating caricatures of security threats.”
Officials have confirmed that those allegedly working to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador were in contact with a U.S. agent posing as a Mexican cartel leader, rather than with those actually running the narcotics rings. But lawmakers have continued to use accusations that the Iranian government aspired to link with the cartels as an argument for adding the groups to the list of state-sponsored terrorist organizations.
“We must stop looking at the drug cartels today solely from a law enforcement perspective and consider designating these narco-trafficking networks as foreign terrorist organizations and their leaders as specially designated nationals . . . ” said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla. “This week’s foiled plot contributes to the growing evidence of the potential links between these groups and the drug cartels. As we know, such a linkage was not made because those were our guys posing as members of the drug cartel. But it seems that our sworn enemy Iran sees a potential kindred spirit in the drug cartels in Mexico.”
The division between entities notorious for drug trafficking in the West and terrorist organizations in the East is not as clear as it once was, Ros-Lehtinen suggested. The chairwoman noted reports that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia has expanded into West Africa and could be linked to Hezbollah and al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, that Iran and other countries in the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America inaugurated a military academy in Bolivia this summer to educate and train their forces, and that Cuban intelligence officers are embedded throughout the Venezuelan government to work against U.S. national security interests.”

I. PBS In Tandem With The State Department Smears Shelbyville To Advance Al Hijra (Muslim Immigration)!
Posted on Atlas Shrugs-On May 22, 2011:
“For years I have been writing about the refugee resettlement program here: Refugee Resettlement: The quiet Jihad tsunami that is wreaking havoc on “gateway cities” like Lewiston, Maine; Shelbyville, Tennessee; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Clarkston, Georgia; and Jamestown, North Dakota. (here)
More deeply disturbing is the UN decides who gets refugee status. I have recounted the subsequent sometimes violent repercussions of these “religious” communities attempting to advance Islamic supremacism by targeting gays and hurling stones at them, trying to impose Muslim prayer on the public schools, imposing sharia law on these workplaces in America (go here and here and here and here and here and here)....
More on al hijra here.
Brian Mosely, staff writer for the Shelbyville Times Gazette, contacted me on the topic of Somali immigration in that small Tennessee community. He has written a number of articles over the past three years dealing with the strains and culture clashes that have occurred as a result of that.
In his email, Mosely describes the Islamic supremacist propaganda war being advanced by the notoriously left PBS (your taxpayer dollars at work) and the Arabist State department:
One of these stories took the national stage in 2008 when the Times-Gazette reported that a new union contract at the Shelbyville Tyson Foods facility replaced Labor Day as a paid holiday with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr.
Following that, a documentary crew came here and shot “Welcome to Shelbyville,” which will air nationwide, May 24 on PBS..
The film received financing and support from progressive migration advocates, with the hand of George Soros thrown into the mix, and has also been sponsored by the state department as overseas propaganda. The “propaganda” label comes from no less an authority than the New York Times
I am in the film and after seeing it in October, found it a completely biased distortion of what has happened, one that depicts myself and Shelbyville as “unwelcoming.” In short, they came to town with a prearranged agenda to link the community with the Jim Crow past and the KKK and then proceeded to stage events with the Soros supported Welcoming Tennessee activist group, but completely edited out important issues like the communality’s reaction and resistance to the demands of the Muslims during the Eid al Fitr controversy. The event is not mentioned at all.
Writing about this topic has so far resulted in my appearance in this left wing movie, as well as a right-wing book. I learned last week that I am in Chapter 4 of Erick Stakelbeck’s The Terrorist Next Door, which examines Somali immigration and is partly based on my work from 2007-2008. Erick came down an shot a segment for the 700 Clubwith me in 2009 about our situation.
It even got so nuts for this country-boy scribe in 2008 that no less an authority than Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy flew down here to meet with me personally in order to pick my brain about creeping Shariah.
This morning, our paper published an editorial calling into question the motives of the filmmakers, and my publisher has allowed me to take them to task for the way I am portrayed in my blog. I detail my experiences with the director, who was only focused on arriving a prearranged story, no matter what the facts were.
Times Gazette wrote of the film here.
There is quite a bit of money and media support for this effort by the filmmakers and the state department, but I feel that the other side of the story is not being told. I am just a small town journalist with only one voice, and now I learn that the state department is throwing their weight behind this slanted film:
Look at the email being sent to journalists from the State Department:
Subject: Press Conference Call - U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program - Tuesday May 24 1:00-2:30
Special Conference Call Briefing:
Refugees in Your Town – Nuts & Bolts Briefing on the
Resettlement of Refugees to the U.S.
The U.S. State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services invite journalists to participate in an on-the-record conference call on the resettlement of refugees to local communities across the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) on Tuesday, May 24 from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST.
Eric P. Schwartz, Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration; and Ron Munia, Director of the Division of Community Development in the Office of Refugee Resettlement, Dept. of Health and Human Services will give brief remarks to explain their agency’s role in the domestic resettlement process, and then will respond to reporters’ question.
The Departments of State and of Health and Human Services play essential roles in the resettlement of refugees to the U.S., including more than 73,000 refugees in FY 2010. The briefing will provide journalists from around the country the opportunity to speak to U.S. government experts about the domestic resettlement process, including the challenges of local integration, which is the subject of the soon-to-be-released PBS documentary film “Welcome to Shelbyville.” The Department of State will host a screening and panel discussion of the film on May 25 which will be open to press (details to follow in a separate Notice to the Press).
Ann over at Refugee Resettlement Watch posted this:
Those comments are from reporter Mosely (whose words and deeds were twisted for the film) from the ShelbyvilleTimes-Gazette yesterday in advance of this week’s debut of a Leftwing propaganda film (Welcome to Shelbyville) to be released widely throughout the US with the help of the US State Department. The reporter and the newspaper are attempting to fight back against monstrous lies perpetrated by the federal government and George Soros sponsored film makers.
“RRW Editor: We have followed the making of this propaganda film from the first arrival of the team in Tennessee (led by Kim Snyder) and have posted many times on it. Please return for a moment to read this post in January with background information and links to earlier posts.
It is very important that after you learn the truth about the film that you send the Times-Gazette link to your local reporters and to everyone you know who might see the film. I was told by a reader last night that it will be shown in Emporia, KS this week which long-time readers know was a town embroiled in the Tyson’s /Somali issue in 2007 as well (we have a whole category here at RRW about Emporia). In that city, Tyson’s pulled the plug on the controversial meat packing plant and moved Somalis from the town clearly in response to the upheaval in that city.
It has been my contention from the early days of RRW that the US State Department and its federal refugee contractors are working to supply cheap immigrant labor to the meatpacking industry, as well as to import third worlders to change the political landscape of middle America. They hide behind the cover of a “humanitarian” agenda.
The film’s purpose is to smear Shelbyville as a racist town and shame any other town into silence that might have a problem with third worlders, especially Muslims, flooding their communities.
Know that the US State Department will be promoting this film in a conference call to reporters on Tuesday.
It is so awful (and so scary) to see the lengths our own government will go to to promote lies, and a political/crony agenda.”
Here is the opening to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette story yesterday:
“As many of our readers are aware, in late 2007, I wrote a five part series about the impact that the introduction of Somali refugees were having on Bedford County. The stories focused on how the refugees got here, their traditions and beliefs, and took an honest look at the many cultural clashes that were taking place between the locals and the newcomers.”
The series provoked a huge controversy, along with much discussion and debate from members of our community.
Then, in August 2008, the Times-Gazette reported that a new union contract at the Shelbyville Tyson Foods facility replaced Labor Day as a paid holiday with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr.
That story put Shelbyville on the national stage, with the topic touching off coverage from the national news media, as well as massive attention on the issue from talk radio hosts, websites and blogs, some of which continues to this very day.
The controversy the stories created led a documentary crew to Shelbyville in late 2008 to shoot “Welcome to Shelbyville,” which will air nationwide, May 24 on PBS at 9 p.m.. The film received financing from progressive migration advocates, and has been sponsored by the state department as overseas propaganda. The “propaganda” label comes from no less an authority than the New York Times.
I viewed the film twice in October of last year during its local premiere, and found the filmmaker’s depiction of myself and the stories published by the T-G to be a monstrous distortion, with an incredible series of blatant omissions and dishonest misrepresentations that was obviously designed only to advance the political agenda of the filmmakers and the progressive organizations that funded and supported its production.
While the filmmakers certainly have a right to express their views, in the process, I feel they have engaged in a completely unfair character assassination of both myself, the Times-Gazette, not to mention how the entire city of Shelbyville is depicted.
They have told their story. Now, I shall tell mine.”
I was planning to give readers more excerpts, but I want you to go to the original story and read the whole thing (with links)—it is so shocking! And, as I said in January, someone should write a book about this—about the making of Marxist/Socialist propaganda in the modern day.”

Another really good Resource to know more about our Great Leader, and his methods of operation, is the New book, by Ann Coulter, "DEMONIC", which tells How The Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.
Areas covered:
The Psychology Of The Liberal (Part 1)
The Historical Context of The Liberal (part 2)
The Violent Tendencies of The Liberal (Part 3).
Why Would Anyone Be A Liberal? (Part 4).
ISBN 978-0-307-35348-1
This book should be at your local bookstore, or possibly at Costco or Sam's Club.
As you know, our new leader and savior is President Obama.
You should also know how he is pushing bills through the Senate, with only Democratic votes, and Pay-To-Play Chicago Politics (also know as Hoodlum, and backdoor politics).
You should also know, that the Democratic Platform, is one of Socialism (The "Polite and Deceivers way of covering Communism).
In order to understand how Obama and his Goonies are doing things, and deceiving the public into believing that it is in the Publics best interest, You need to get the Handbook of the Democratic Party. You can get this book, at your local bookstore, unless of course, Obama has had it marked a Forbidden book, and removed it.
In that case, you can go to Christian Book Distributors, and get it at an even better price than it would be at the store, even with shipping. That address is: www.christianbook.com, and the book you want, is "The Communist Manifesto".
While you are there, you may also want to get "Kingdom Of The Cults", which describes in detail, why you would never want to have a MORMON elected as President.
If you are a Christian (previous description is one who attends church, and just holds down the pew; while a Follower of Jesus, is an active God-Fearing believer who believes the Holy Bible is The Absolute Word of God, and follows the Ten Commandments completely).
We must know that our next leader is a Follower of Jesus, and will uphold The Word without trying to re-interpret what they think God really meant that scripture to say; those who do this are following their god, and it is not the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruits". His Father is Jehovah Shalom, the creator of all things; but those who tell us one thing, and do the opposite, their god is the father of lies, who was kicked out of Heaven, by GOD. His name is Lucifer.
You should also watch "The Obama Deception" video, at www.documentarywire.com/the-obama-deception.
Notwithstanding Barack Obama’s naive promise to usher in an age of ‘post-racial’ politics, the fact is that his presidency has led to sharper and deeper divisions among Americans, many of those divisions rooted in racial discord spawned by Barack Obama.
This is so because Obama routinely plays the “we versus them race card' such as when he speaks to Hispanic groups where he claims that Republicans are the “enemy” which must be punished as in this rant before the 2010 mid-term elections:
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Referring specifically to Republicans such as Senator John McCain, who are stressing border security and supporting strict immigration laws like Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration measure, Mr. Obama said, “Those aren’t the kinds of folks who represent our core American values”
More recently in October of 2011, again speaking to Hispanics, Obama again played the R card as reported at the reference in part:
In his remarks made yesterday before the administration’s Forum on American Latino Heritage, The Unifier-In-Chief launched into his 2012 campaign strategy themes of class warfare, racism, blaming others all while attempting to pacify the Latino voters.
I ran for President for the same reason many people came to this country in the first place: Because I believe America should be a place where you can always make it if you try; a place where every child, no matter what they look like, where they come from, should have a chance to succeed.
Obama has mastered the art of interweaving the race card into his speeches. This is in stark contrast to vintage 2008 Obama in his beloved “Race Speech/A More Perfect Union” wherein he states:
For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina – or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.
We can do that.
The oddity is that President Barack Obama was elected because of his race by those anxious to eradicate liberal white guilt and by people of color acting on their own racist impulses.
The big question facing American in 2012: Is Barack Obama too dark to fail?
Posted on Bloomberg-By Alan Bjerga and Susan Decker-On October 16, 2011:
“Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Military force shouldn’t be ruled out as a response to an Iranian assassination plot on U.S. soil, the top House Republican on intelligence issues said.
“I don’t think you should take it off the table,” said Representative Mike Rogers, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said on ABC’s “This Week.” Rogers said other options would include rallying the international community against Iran or taking action against Iranian operatives in Iraq.
U.S. officials are considering what action to take following the Justice Department’s Oct. 11 accusation that Iran sponsored a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. The conspiracy involved a secret Iranian military unit and a citizen of the Islamic Republic with a U.S. passport.
President Barack Obama said this week that there were “direct links” to Iran’s government, which has rejected the allegation.
Two men were charged with conspiracy to use C-4 plastic explosives to murder Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir and attack Saudi installations in the U.S. Targets included “foreign government facilities associated with Saudi Arabia and with another country,” the U.S. said in a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan.
Increased Economic Sactions:
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she supports increased economic sanctions, especially against Iran’s Central Bank, with black lists of any foreign country or company that does business with the Central Bank.
Without some discussions to force Iran to change its policies, “we are on a collision course,” Feinstein said on “Fox News Sunday” program. “If we want to avoid it, we have to take action to avoid it.”
She rejected a call from retired U.S. General Jack Keane, an architect of the troop surge in Iraq, for the U.S. to engage in covert operations to kill members of Iran’s Quds Force. Feinstein said that, while Quds leaders were aware of the plot, there’s no evidence that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the highest ranking religious and political authority in the country, knew of it.
“It probably would escalate into a war, and the question is: Do we want to go to war with Iran at this time?”Feinstein said. “My judgment is no. We have our hands full with Iraq, with Afghanistan, with the deteriorating relationship with Pakistan.”
Ahmadinejad Rejection:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected the U.S. allegations in a Tehran meeting today. “Each day they try to campaign against Iran,” Ahmadinejad said, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
Khamenei warned the U.S. that any action taken will be met with a “resolute” response, according to the Associated Press.
“If U.S. officials have some delusions, (they must) know that any unsuitable act, whether political or security, will meet a resolute response from the Iranian nation,” the AP said, citing a report on Iran’s state television.
Iran has claimed that the Obama administration made up the allegations to divert attention from unemployment, the Occupy Wall Street movement and other economic problems in the U.S.
Feinstein said she had initial doubts before learning some of the details learned by investigators.
“There should be no doubt, and the evidence is very strong,” she said. “The FBI believes that the case is both strong and good and will result in a conviction.”
Rogue Nation:
Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost the 2008 presidential election to Democrat Obama, criticized the administration’s handling of Iran, which McCain called “a rogue nation.”
The administration’s “engagement with Iran has clearly been a failure,” McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
McCain said Obama should have done more when students protested on the streets of Tehran in 2009. McCain called for “severe sanctions” and said the U.S. should engage in “covert activity” to undermine the current Iranian government.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican presidential candidate, said Obama is “absolutely clueless” in his dealings with the Iranian government.
“Our goal should be the replacement of the Iranian dictatorship,” Gingrich, from Georgia, said on the CNN program.“We have done nothing of consequence to systematically undermine the regime.”
Troops to Africa:
Gingrich also criticized the president’s plan to send 100 troops to central Africa to help fight against Uganda’s renegade Lord’s Resistance Army. The troops are to “provide assistance to regional forces” and are not to directly engage with the forces unless necessary for self-defense.
Gingrich called the strategy “nonsensical” and said the administration needs “a grand strategy and a set of priorities.”
“If you can’t control the American border, why do you disperse our troops?” Gingrich said.
The White House was responding to 2010 legislation pushed by a group of lawmakers and human rights organizations that supported a comprehensive U.S. effort short of active military involvement to mitigate or eliminate the Lord’s Resistance Army threat.
The Lord’s Resistance Army is “one of the most horrible groups to inhabit the earth,” McCain said. Still, he said, “we’ve got to be very careful in how we engage.”
He also said Obama should have done more to notify Congress of his intentions.”

I. Why U.S. military in Uganda? ‘Obama's billionaire friend has interests in African country's oil!’
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On October 15, 2011:
“After President Barack Obama announced earlier this week that he would be sending American troops into Uganda, WND uncovered billionaire activist George Soros’ ties both to the political pressure behind the decision and to the African nation’s fledgling oil industry.
Soros sits on the executive board of an influential “crisis management organization” that recently recommended the U.S. deploy a special advisory military team to Uganda to help with operations and run an intelligence platform, a recommendation Obama’s action seems to fulfill.
The president emeritus of that organization, the International Crisis Group, is also the principal author of “Responsibility to Protect,” the military doctrine used by Obama to justify the U.S.-led NATO campaign in Libya.
Soros’ own Open Society Institute is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, a doctrine that has been cited many times by activists urging intervention in Uganda.
Authors and advisers of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, including a center founded and led by Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights, also helped to found the International Criminal Court.
Several of the doctrine’s main founders also sit on boards with Soros, who is a major proponent of the doctrine.
Soros also maintains close ties to oil interests in Uganda. His organizations have been leading efforts purportedly to facilitate more transparency in Uganda’s oil industry, which is being tightly controlled by the country’s leadership.
Soros' hand in Ugandan oil industry:
Oil exploration began in Uganda’s northwestern Lake Albert basin nearly a decade ago, with initial strikes being made in 2006.
Uganda’s Energy Ministry estimates the country has over 2 billion barrels of oil, with some estimates going as high as 6 billion barrels. Production is set to begin in 2015, delayed from 2013 in part because the country has not put in place a regulatory framework for the oil industry.
A 2008 national oil and gas policy, proposed with aid from a Soros-funded group, was supposed to be a general road map for the handling and use of the oil. However, the policy’s recommendations have been largely ignored, with critics accusing Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni of corruption and of tightening his grip on the African country’s emerging oil sector.
Soros himself has been closely tied to oil and other interests in Uganda.
In 2008, the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute brought together stakeholders from Uganda and other East African countries to discuss critical governance issues, including the formation of what became Uganda’s national oil and gas policy.
Also in 2008, the Africa Institute for Energy Governance, a grantee of the Soros-funded Revenue Watch, helped established the Publish What You Pay Coalition of Uganda, or PWYP, which was purportedly launched to coordinate and streamline the efforts of the government in promoting transparency and accountability in the oil sector.
Also, a steering committee was formed for PWYP Uganda to develop an agenda for implementing the oil advocacy initiatives and a constitution to guide PWYP’s oil work.
PWYP has since 2006 hosted a number of training workshops in Uganda purportedly to promote contract transparency in Uganda’s oil sector.
PWYP is directly funded by Soros’ Open Society as well as the the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute. PWYP international is actually hosted by the Open Society Foundation in London.
The billionaire’s Open Society Institute, meanwhile, runs numerous offices in Uganda. It maintains a country manager in Uganda, as well as the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, which supports work in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Open Society Institute runs a Ugandan Youth Action Fund, which states its mission is to “identify, inspire, and support small groups of dedicated young people who can mobilize and influence large numbers of their peers to promote open society ideals.”
U.S. troops to Uganda:
Obama yesterday notified House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that he plans to send about 100 military personnel, mostly Special Operations Forces, to central Africa. The first troops reportedly arrived in Uganda on Wednesday.
The U.S. mission will be to advise forces seeking to kill or capture Joseph Kony, the leader of the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA. Kony is accused of major human rights atrocities. He is on the U.S. terrorist list and is wanted by the International Criminal Court.
In a letter on Friday, Obama announced the initial team of U.S. military personnel “with appropriate combat equipment” deployed to Uganda on Wednesday. Other forces deploying include “a second combat-equipped team and associated headquarters, communications and logistics personnel.”
“Our forces will provide information, advice and assistance to select partner nation forces,” he said.
Both conservatives and liberals have raised questions about whether military involvement in Uganda advances U.S. interests.
Writing in The Atlantic yesterday, Max Fisher noted the Obama administration last year approved special forces bases and operations across the Middle East, the Horn of Africa and Central Asia.
“But those operations, large and small, target terrorist groups and rogue states that threaten the U.S. – something the Lord’s Resistance Army could not possibly do,” he wrote.
“It’s difficult to find a U.S. interest at stake in the Lord’s Resistance Army’s campaign of violence,” continued Fisher. “It’s possible that there’s some immediate U.S. interest at stake we can’t obviously see.”
Bill Roggio, the managing editor of The Long War Journal, referred to the Obama administration’s stated rationale for sending troops “puzzling,” claiming the LRA does not present a national security threat to the U.S. – “despite what President Obama said.”
Tea-party-backed presidential candidate Michele Bachmann also questioned the wisdom of Obama’s move to send U.S. troops to Uganda.
“When it comes to sending our brave men and women into foreign nations, we have to first demonstrate a vital American national interest before we send our troops in,” she said at a campaign stop yesterday in Iowa.
Soros group: Send military advisors to Uganda:
In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakersadvising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture.
The report states, “To the U.S. government: Deploy a team to the theatre of operations to run an intelligence platform that centralizes all operational information from the Ugandan and other armies, as well as the U.N. and civilian networks, and provides analysis to the Ugandans to better target military operations.”
Since 2008 the U.S. has been providing financial aid in the form of military equipment to Uganda and the other regional countries to fight Kony’s LRA, but Obama’s new deployment escalates the direct U.S. involvement.
Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.
Jimmy Carter’s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.
The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”
Both Evans and Thakur serve as advisory board members of the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, the main group pushing the doctrine.
As WND first exposed, Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect.
Soros’ Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.
Samantha Power, Arafat deputy:
Meanwhile, a closer look at the Soros-funded Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect is telling. Board members of the group include former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former Ireland President Mary Robinson and South African activist Desmond Tutu. Robinson and Tutu have recently made solidarity visits to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip as members of a group called The Elders, which includes former President Jimmy Carter.
WND was first to report the committee that devised the Responsibility to Protect doctrine included Arab League Secretary General Amre Moussa as well as Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi, a staunch denier of the Holocaust who long served as the deputy of late Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.
Also, the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy has a seat on the advisory board of the 2001 commission that originally founded Responsibility to Protect. The commission is called the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. It invented the term “responsibility to protect” while defining its guidelines.
The Carr Center is a research center concerned with human rights located at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights, was Carr’s founding executive director and headed the institute at the time it advised in the founding of Responsibility to Protect.
With Power’s center on the advisory board, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty first defined the Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
Power reportedly heavily influenced Obama in consultations leading to the decision to bomb Libya, widely regarded as test of Responsibility to Protect in action.
In his address to the nation in April explaining the NATO campaign in Libya, Obama cited the doctrine as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.
Responsibility to Protect, or Responsibility to Act, as cited by Obama, is a set of principles, now backed by the United Nations, based on the idea that sovereignty is not a privilege, but a responsibility that can be revoked if a country is accused of “war crimes,” “genocide,” “crimes against humanity” or “ethnic cleansing.”
The term “war crimes” has at times been indiscriminately used by various United Nations-backed international bodies, including the International Criminal Court, or ICC, which applied it to Israeli anti-terror operations in the Gaza Strip. There has been fear the ICC could be used to prosecute U.S. troops who commit alleged “war crimes” overseas.
Soros: Right to 'penetrate nation-states':
Soros himself outlined the fundamentals of Responsibility to Protect in a 2004 Foreign Policy magazine article titled “The People’s Sovereignty: How a New Twist on an Old Idea Can Protect the World’s Most Vulnerable Populations.”
In the article Soros said, “True sovereignty belongs to the people, who in turn delegate it to their governments.”
“If governments abuse the authority entrusted to them and citizens have no opportunity to correct such abuses, outside interference is justified,” Soros wrote. “By specifying that sovereignty is based on the people, the international community can penetrate nation-states’ borders to protect the rights of citizens.
“In particular,” he continued, “the principle of the people’s sovereignty can help solve two modern challenges: the obstacles to delivering aid effectively to sovereign states and the obstacles to global collective action dealing with states experiencing internal conflict.”
'One World Order':
The Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, meanwhile, works in partnership with the World Federalist Movement, a group that promotes democratized global institutions with plenary constitutional power. The Movement is a main coordinator and member of Responsibility to Protect Center.
WND reported that Responsibility doctrine founder Thakur recently advocated for a “global rebalancing” and “international redistribution” to create a “New World Order.”
In a piece last March in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, “Toward a new world order,” Thakur wrote, “Westerners must change lifestyles and support international redistribution.”
He was referring to a United Nations-brokered international climate treaty in which he argued, “Developing countries must reorient growth in cleaner and greener directions.”
In the opinion piece, Thakur then discussed recent military engagements and how the financial crisis has impacted the U.S.
“The West’s bullying approach to developing nations won’t work anymore – global power is shifting to Asia,” he wrote. “A much-needed global moral rebalancing is in train.”
Thakur continued: “Westerners have lost their previous capacity to set standards and rules of behavior for the world. Unless they recognize this reality, there is little prospect of making significant progress in deadlocked international negotiations.”
Thakur contended “the demonstration of the limits to U.S. and NATO power in Iraq and Afghanistan has left many less fearful of ‘superior’ Western power.”

II. Iran's former president warns of possible US attack!
Posted on Saudi News Today-on October 13, 2011:
“Iran’s former president Mohammad Khatami on Thursday warned the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of a possible US military attack, following charges that Iran was behind a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Washington.
“Our political officials should be careful not to give the US any pretext to target our security and territorial integrity,”Khatami told the opposition website Rahesabz.
After his eight-year presidential tenure that ended in 2005, Khatami has become a senior member of the Iranian opposition and on several occasions has blamed Ahmadinejad for creating unnecessary international crises by making thoughtless and provocative remarks.
“I am worried because the pretexts for starting campaigns against Iran are constantly increasing, and escalation of the current pretext and use of any hostile language could have consequences that eventually only harm the Iranian people,” Khatami said.
Khatami rejected the latest US charges as a conspiracy by the US administration to gain advantages in next year’s presidential election.
“We should all stand united with regards to any possible threats against our land and people, but at the same time also be more careful not to give any pretexts to others to raise such charges against us,” the 68-year-old cleric said.
The foreign ministry in Tehran meanwhile said in a press release that it had invited the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Tehran to a meeting in order to reassure him that Iran was not involved in the alleged plot.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian categorically rejected the charges, which he termed as a “fabricated and see-through scenario” by the US and Israel.
In his meeting with the Saudi diplomat, Abdollahian blamed the Saudi embassy in Washington for what he called a “premature and undocumented reaction” to the charges.
The Saudi ambassador was quoted as responding that his country simply reacted to the incident itself, without accusing any country by name as long as the investigations were not concluded.
According to state media, the foreign ministry also summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran, in order to protest the US charges levelled against the Islamic republic.
As the US has had no diplomatic mission in Tehran for more than three decades, Switzerland represents Washington’s interests in Iran.”

Con Ed has given the Ground Zero mosque an ultimatum: Pay the $1.7 million you owe in back rent, or we’ll terminate your lease and take back our property.
Con Ed and mosque developer Park51 have an unusual, uneasy alliance, sharing ownership of a site slated to be one of the most controversial projects in city history.
The utility owns a former substation on the western half of the property, at 51 Park Place, and the mosque developers own a five-story building on the eastern half. The buildings were connected years ago and used to house a Burlington Coat Factory store.
